Next on Vegas, Tana has evidence that

makes him a target for a deadly

racketeer.

Mr. Chairman, gentlemen, to the best of

my knowledge and my belief, I've never

met a professional criminal.

>> I mean, all the sick weird things you

used to do.

>> What do we have to do? You trust us.

>> Well,

>> trust us,

>> but I don't know this trick.

>> You will? I don't know this trick at

all.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat up

here.

Oh, you think you've flown before, but

you ain't left the ground.

Wait till you locked in my embrace. Wait

till I draw you near.

Wait till you see that sunshine place.

There ain't nothing like it here.

The best is yet to come. And girl, won't

it be fine?

The best is yet to come from the day of

smile.

Woo!

Heat.

Heat.

Heat. Heat.

in the neighborhood.

>> The guys know who he was.

>> Don tells me he had no ID. Not even

labels in his clothing. The numbers were

filed off the gun and a car was stolen.

>> He was a mechanic and a pro.

>> Somebody's put the finger on you, my

man.

>> What makes you think that?

>> Look, a guy drives up behind you on the

street and starts shooting. You've got

to have an idea why. I got a very good

idea, but nothing will stand up in

court.

>> Thanks anyway, Dave.

Hold it and hold it.

>> Where's your invitation, Junior?

>> I got it this morning. Special delivery.

Only the delivery board didn't survive.

>> See that? Everybody's uh up a little

bit.

Surprised to see you here, Mr. Tenner.

>> Obviously, my boy fouled up, huh?

>> Even if he hadn't fouled up, it wouldn't

have made any difference. Cleaver. If

I'm not around to present that evidence

to the gaming control board tomorrow,

I've made a little arrangement to have

it presented my absence. Oh, you mean

that that little videotape that purports

to show me consorting with known

criminals?

>> It does more than that. It shows your

direct connection with prostitution,

drug trafficking, and professional

killers. You're not going to get a

gaming license in this state.

>> Excuse me. You see,

I know there's only one tape, and I know

where it is.

>> Even you can't get into a private safe

deposit.

>> Now, look, don't misunderstand me, Tana.

See, I'm happy to know that it's locked

up and it's safe. And I mean to keep it

that way till after the hearing.

>> Really?

>> You know, you're a big shot in this

town, but when it comes to playing in my

league, you're nothing. I mean nothing.

Now, I want to assure you of one thing.

You're going to decline to give

testimony and evidence before that

control board, and you're going to do it

voluntarily.

Like hell I am. That videotape is going

to get you life on a rock farm.

10 investigations.

>> B is bener there.

>> I yell right here.

Vince

>> Benzer, I want you to go downtown and

find out what the street talk is on an

attempted hit on me.

>> Listen for the name Gleaver.

>> Glever. Okay. Yeah, you got it.

>> Are you all right? Yeah, I'm fine. Did

you pick up my blue blaze at the

cleaners?

>> Yeah, it's in the closet. You got a

date?

>> Yeah, with Mitch Castiggi and I promised

him I'd go to the Tropicana with him to

catch the Zarov sister's new magic act.

Okay, I'll talk to you later.

You girls look beautiful.

>> What are you doing here?

>> I'm a fan of yours. I came by to say uh

good luck. You have a minute?

>> I was looking over your guest list. It's

very impressive.

>> What do you want?

>> I knew you'd have Mitch Castion from the

Desert End, but Dantana, now that's an

unexpected bonus.

>> Look, every time you come around here,

me and my sister wind up doing you some

little favor. So, let's get to the

point. Okay.

>> Why not?

I want one of these two gentlemen put on

ice.

>> Tana the detective.

>> Castiggian.

>> Why?

>> Why is none of your business? How is

now? It's simple for you to make someone

disappear. Only this time you work it

out so he disappears right in front of

Tana's eyes.

>> Look, Lever, I don't know what your scam

is, but the answer is no.

>> That's too bad.

You girls have a wonderful act together.

First class family entertainment.

What's going to happen when the public

finds out about those sick Hollywood

parties you used to give where you got

your break? I mean all the sick weird

things you used to do.

I have the photographs.

>> What do we have to do?

I want Castiggian

put out of circulation until noon

tomorrow.

Now you do this for me, I'll give you

the photographs and the negatives.

>> All right, we can make a disappear.

But how are we going to stop him from

talking? You know he's going to go

straight to the police the minute we let

him go.

>> My men will give him this and after the

show, we'll take him off your hands.

wake up in a desert someplace. He won't

even know where he's been.

>> But what about Dantana? He's going to

come around asking about his friend and

he's a detective.

>> You tell him it was a joke.

>> Practical joke.

Just a joke.

Heat.

Heat.

terrific and really neat ladies too.

Listen,

how about the four of us going out for a

drink afterwards?

>> I bet you I think I'll take a rain check

on the drink.

>> A rain check? Those are two of the

greatest lookers in this town. You're

going to take a rain check? Come on,

Dan. They're friends of mine.

>> I've got to testify in front of the

gaming control board tomorrow morning.

>> I understand.

>> You heard what happened this afternoon.

>> Oh, yeah.

You're in somebody's sights, aren't you,

pal? And you don't want anybody in the

line of fire.

>> And you do understand.

>> It's a rain check.

>> Rain check.

>> Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. And now

for our final illusion. We need an

assistant from the audience. And it just

so happens that tonight we have a very,

very dear old friend of ours. We used to

work together back east. He's currently

knocking him dead at the Desert Inn.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mitch Costian.

Hi, Mitch. How are you doing?

>> Hi, sweetheart. How are you?

>> Ladies and gentlemen, Mitch is really a

terrific entertainer, but tonight we're

going to ask him to do something a

little bit different. Okay, you ready?

>> Okay.

>> You trust us?

>> Well, trust us.

>> Okay.

>> Okay. in the box. Lock her up.

>> Lock her up. Look over here.

>> All tight.

>> All tight.

>> Okay. Curtain.

>> Move the curtain.

>> Out she goes.

>> Close it up.

>> Close them up. Round the back.

>> Round the back.

>> Coming up.

>> Ready for the countdown.

One.

Two.

>> Three.

Thank you, Mitch. No, no, no. Not so

fast.

>> No.

>> We're not finished with you yet, Mitch.

>> No.

>> Back in the box.

>> But I don't know this trick.

>> You will.

>> I don't know this trick at all.

>> Mitch,

>> are you sure?

>> Trust you.

>> I don't know it, though.

>> You're a quick winner, Mitch.

>> We've never let you down. Yeah.

One, two,

three.

Hey, let me help you, partner.

>> Oh, thanks, guy.

See,

that's

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Fantastic, Eva.

>> Thank you.

>> So,

>> so what? So, where are they?

>> Well, now how would I know? I mean, we

can make him disappear, but we sometimes

have a little trouble bringing him back.

>> Yeah. Yeah, right. Uh, seriously, joke's

over. What'd you do with him?

>> Not me. My sister Adele.

>> I mean, he really did disappear right

after the curtain call. And so did

Adele.

>> I am uh starting to get the picture.

>> I would imagine they're probably at his

place right about now.

>> Mitch always was a little impulsive.

>> And Adele, too. H.

>> Not you, huh?

>> Oh, well, yeah, sometimes. Yeah.

>> But I'm afraid not tonight.

Morning.

>> Good morning.

>> Come on. You only got one hour before

you have to testify to the gaming

control board. Yeah. Yeah. Listen,

Castiggia may call and when he does,

tell him I've been looking for him all

night.

>> Have you?

>> Of course not. Then tell him that

Metro's got an APB out on him and that

every cop in Las Vegas is looking for

him.

>> Playing some sort of joke, huh?

>> Oh, I happen to know for a fact that

he's off somewhere with one of the Zorov

sisters.

>> Oh, they'll be in Niagara by now.

Uh Dan.

Dan, you better take a look at this.

It's marked most urgent.

If you give the gaming board the video

tape, Castigian dies.

>> Joke's over now.

>> Yeah, joke's over.

I trust you received your morning mail.

Don't try any heroics inside Tana.

And furthermore, gentlemen, my client

categorically refuts any suggestion that

he has knowingly consorted with any

known criminals, least of all leaders of

organized crime.

>> Thank you, Mr. Fryberg.

The board would like to emphasize that

this is not a court of law, and nobody's

life or liberty is at stake here today.

The commission would therefore like to

hear from your client personally. Mr.

Lever,

Mr. Chairman, gentlemen,

you can't blame my attorney for trying

to protect me. Heaven knows I pay him

enough money,

but there's no need for him to be here

this morning because there's nothing to

protect me from.

To the best of my knowledge and my

belief,

I've never met a professional criminal,

nor have I ever been associated with one

in any kind of business adventure.

And that's all I have to say at this

time. I should advise you that it's our

understanding that there is material

evidence to be presented here in support

of the complaints. Thank you, Mr.

Clever. You may stand now, sir.

Is uh Mr. Dan Tenner present?

>> Yes, sir.

>> You are a private detective licensed by

the state and under retainer to uh Roth

Hotels Incorporated.

>> That is correct.

>> I understand you have visual evidence to

present at this inquiry.

Mr. Tanner,

there is no evidence, sir.

I have a letter here signed by you, Mr.

Tanner, in which you state that uh you

have a video tape which shows uh I

quote, Martin C. Glever, president

Baradine Leisure Enterprises of New

Jersey in secret conference with, and

then there follows a list of names,

notorious underworld figures.

It's a mistake.

When I reran the tape, it didn't show

what I thought it showed.

>> The board would prefer to make its own

interpretations, Mr. Tanner. We would

like to see that tape. That's

impossible, sir. Uh, it's been erased.

>> I want to remind you, Mr. Tanner, that

this hearing was set solely on the basis

of your allegations against Mr. Glever

and your declaration that you had

evidence to support them.

>> I'm sorry to have wasted the board's

time, excuse me,

>> Lieutenant Nelson.

>> Yes, sir. Lieutenant, it would be

improper for me to express my belief of

what has taken place here, but I shall

call for a complete investigation.

Meanwhile, I hope it's within your power

to recommend that Mr. Tanner's license

be suspended immediately.

>> I'll look into it, sir.

>> You've been a very good boy so far,

Tenner. Now, we can start thinking about

the arrangements for you to turn over

the tape. Meanwhile, we'll leave it

where it is until I call you.

>> Now, you listen to me. You turn over

Castiggian to me unharmed or you're

dead. You understand me? A dead man.

>> I don't like being threatened, Tanner.

>> Now, don't do anything more to make me

angry or your friend's going to return

to you in the mail piece at a time.

Come in.

>> Okay, Dan, what happened?

>> It was a bad tape. That's it.

>> Look, this is me you're talking to, not

the gaming board. You know what they

think? They think the Cleaver bought you

off. They want me to pull your license.

>> So do it. I can't stop you,

>> man. Listen now. I'm no fool and I know

Vegas. I also know you wouldn't be

acting this way unless Gaver had

something hanging over your head. Now

what is it?

>> You're a cop. You find out.

>> Dan,

we've been friends too long. Dave, don't

you think I'd accept your help if I

could?

As soon as I get something you can use,

I'll let you know, right?

>> All right.

Some coffee on the stove.

Big spender.

How you doing?

>> All right,

listen.

>> I don't know how to tell you this

exactly, but uh the word on the street

is that Mr. Gver has you in his pocket.

He's bought you off.

>> Tell me it's not true.

>> It's not true. That's the kind of story

I expected Gaver to put out. Is there

any talk about Castigian,

>> Mitch?

>> Yeah.

>> No. Why? He's in trouble, Vince. I got

to find him. That's all I can tell you

right now. So, if you hear anything,

you'll be the second one to know.

>> All right. Good. Take care.

Dana

>> Glever just called Dan. He wants to see

you at his place.

>> That's a call I've been waiting for. Be

tell him I'll be there in 10 minutes.

>> Okay.

It's not locked.

That's far enough.

Remember, I have your friend. So, I'm

going to call the shots and take that

cannon out. Put it on the table. Nice

and slow.

Now turn around. Put your hands up on

that captain.

>> You know it's not like you to uh do your

own dirty work. Clever.

>> You notice I'm not using my hands. This

is a handy little gadget.

Another marvel of modern technology.

>> It's a nice try, antenna.

You turn around now.

>> Where's Castiggian? It's safe.

You have my word.

>> Your word means nothing.

>> What do you want? You want an ear or a

finger? Now, don't make me do that. I

don't want to come between dear friends.

>> All right, I'll go to the bank.

>> What? I said I'd go to the bank.

>> All right, you be there at exactly 12

noon. And after you collect that tape,

you return to the car. Then I'll let you

talk to Castigian and then we'll make

out the arrangement for the exchange.

>> You're going to have to do better than

that.

>> No, I don't. I don't have to do

anything.

You remember one thing.

You step a little bit out of line,

you're going to bring a lot of pain on

your friend.

If you hurt Castigian, I'm going to come

back here. Only next time, I'm not going

to be polite. I won't even knock.

And nothing's going to keep me from

getting my hands on you.

Eva, he's awake. If somebody hears him,

>> was supposed to move him.

>> I'm going to call him.

>> Wait a minute. You know, you better

think first about what you're going to

say to him.

>> Listen, big sister. I am through being

scared and manipulated by Marty Gaver.

You know, we were damn fools for letting

him get us involved in this thing in the

first place.

>> Va, what about those photographs he

took?

>> Look, Adele, if he if he brings out his

dirty photos. All right, sure. We're

going to have to live it down. But isn't

that better than being a criminal? I

mean, do you want to go to jail for

kidnapping?

Hello.

>> Eva is on the line.

>> Yeah, put her through.

>> Hello, Eva. Darling,

>> your goons were supposed to collect the

box and it's still up there. And Mitch

is awake. We can hear him thumping.

>> Well, Eva, you're absolutely right. Uh,

we should have collected him by now. It

must have just slipped my mind. Listen,

Clever, we're through with this whole

deal. If you don't come and collect that

box in 15 minutes, we're going to call

the police. Well,

>> Eva, look, there's been a delay on our

side.

You girls have done a great job. I mean,

a great job, and Marty Glever

never forgets a promise. But where are

you?

>> We're on our way to the dressing room.

>> All right. Now, you sit tight and I'm

sending the boys right down. And I'm

sending the pictures, too.

Yeah. And the negatives.

>> 15 minutes.

>> Yeah. Goodbye, sweetheart.

>> Girls are expecting you in 15.

10 investigations. B, have you heard

from Binser yet?

>> Not yet. He's somewhere downtown.

>> Okay, I'm going to cover some old

ground. I'll be over at the Tropicana

talking to the Zorov sisters.

>> Be careful, boss. They're tricky ladies.

>> All right. Bye-bye.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Thanks. You saved me the trouble from

coming to get you.

Don't

get

You're looking for me?

>> Yeah.

>> That's enough. Remember, he's got to get

that tent for us. Come on, let's get out

of here.

Heat. Heat.

Hold it, Dan. You're not going anywhere

until I get some answers.

>> Look, Dave, it's got to wait.

>> Oh, no. You're going to talk to me right

now. Even if I have to handcuff you,

take you down to headquarters, and hold

you as a material witness.

>> Okay, listen. Castian's been snatched.

His life is on the line. I got him into

this mess, and I'm going to get him out.

Now you get the full story, but I need a

little more time.

>> I gave you a little more time this

morning. Now look what happened. There

two dead women.

>> Those girls are dead because they were

going to talk. I know that for a fact.

>> All right, maybe there is something I

can't tell you. Now that box in there

belonged to the Zorov sisters and I

think Castiggian was in it drugged or

something. Have your boys check it out.

>> Wait a minute. Are you trying to tell me

that those girls kidnapped Castigian?

>> Dave, I'll tell you the whole thing.

You'll get the guys who strangled those

girls, but you won't get the man who's

responsible for the whole thing, glever,

unless you play it my way.

>> No deal, Dad. Now talk.

>> Okay, arrest me. Take me downtown.

>> Then you'll be responsible for another

life. Mitch Castigians.

>> Tana.

>> Tana, listen carefully. Proceed to the

bank. One of my men will meet you there.

Do you understand?

>> I understand.

Go back. This is lever.

Call back here. How's it look?

>> No problem. The swing ship won't come on

for a couple of hours. What's happening?

>> All right. In exactly 2 minutes, I want

you to put Castigian on the phone to

Tana, but cover him. I ensure he doesn't

say too much.

>> You know, this gun's real sensitive,

Junior. It's got a hair trigger.

I wouldn't even cough if I was you.

Okay, Mr. Clever, he has the tape.

>> Thanks, my

>> Glever. I want to talk to Castiggian

right now.

>> All right, Tenner. So, talk.

>> Mitch, you all right?

>> Tell you the truth, Dan. I'm kind of

strapped.

Can't dance.

>> I'll get you out of there. Don't worry.

>> Listen, if you could see me now, you'd

laugh yourself sick. So would my brother

Frank. Yeah, Frank.

>> That's it, Junior. Anymore, your

friend's a dead man.

>> Tana, this is Gver.

>> You got the message, huh?

>> Now, no clever moves are your friend's

dead. You just hand that tape over to

Mard.

>> Not a chance, Gaver. What's he going to

do? Shoot me right here with all these

witnesses?

>> I'm not going to hand this tape over to

anybody but you.

>> I figured you'd say that. Well, it was

worth a try.

>> All right, Meard, take a hike.

>> Okay, Dann, there's a phone booth in the

Vegas Plaza.

You can make it there in exactly 9

minutes.

>> Hey, Mard, forgot something.

Dantana investigations

>> B. How warm would you say it was today?

>> About 90°.

>> Yeah. And I just talked to Castigian and

his teeth were chattering.

>> Chatter? Hey Dan, you okay?

>> Yeah, I'm fine. Then he said his brother

Frank would laugh if it could see him

now. His brother Frank's a ski

instructor at Squa Valley. Could never

get Mitch to go up there.

>> Right. Right. Cuz Mitch hates the cold.

>> Right. And there was a sound in the

background. And I think I know where he

is. It's the ice factory. There's just

one.

>> That's right. On West Bloomington. Are

you going to be there?

>> Yeah, but Gaver doesn't know it. Binge,

remember the stunt we pulled in Reno

last year?

>> Yeah. Yeah. The Coke bust. I remember.

>> Yeah. Well, we're going to do it again

in just about uh 5 minutes. Clever is

going to call the phone booth in Vegas

Plaza.

>> 5 minutes. Vegas Plaza. Got it.

>> Right. B, you call Nelson. Tell him I'm

on my way to the ice house and have him

back me up

>> right away.

Oh no.

Tana.

>> Hello,

>> Tana.

>> I'm here.

>> Tana,

are you ready to give the tape to Menard

like we agreed? Sure.

>> This is antenna.

>> Kovac, listen. Tana's pulled a switch

now. He may be on his way over to you.

>> But how could he know?

>> How do I know how he knows?

>> But we can't take any chances. You

understand?

>> You want me to kill this Castiggian now?

>> No, you dummy. Tanner has the tape.

Now listen. You get Castiggian out of

sight

>> and then when Tana gets there,

you kill them both. You understand me?

You kill them both.

>> Yeah, we got you.

Heat.

Heat.

any more ice down here. We're all going

to freeze to death. Hey,

>> yeah, but I got a feeling that things

will warm up when Tana comes through

that door.

Heat. Heat.

Hold it right there, Junior.

Put the gun down.

>> Untie him.

>> Keep it cool, Mitch.

>> Uh, no ice jokes, please.

>> Drop it, Tanner.

I said

That's right.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Hold it. Clever.

A

tree of life. I just picked me a plum.

You came along and everything started to

hum.

Still, it's a real good bet. The best is

yet to come.

The best is yet to come and it be fine.

You think you've seen the sun, but you

ain't seen it shine.

Wait till the warm up's underway.

Wait till our lips have met.

Wait till you see that sunshine day. You

ain't seen nothing yet.

The best is yet to come and won't it be

fine.

The best is yet to come. Come the day

you're mine.

How come the day you're mine?

I'm going to teach you to fly.

We've only tasted the wine.

We're going to drink the cup. Try

and wait till your charms are right for

these arms to surround.

You think you've flown before, but you

ain't left the ground.

Wait till you locked in my embrace. Wait

till I draw you near. Wait

till you see that sunshine place. There

ain't nothing like it.

The best is yet to come and won't it be

fine.

Oh, the best is yet to come. Come and

take your mind.

Hey

He's really something.

>> He's better than ever.

>> What did you think he was going to do?

Freeze up?

Heat. Heat.

Yeah.
