Next on Vegas, Dan tracks a killer who's

determined to make bee his next victim.

I I really got to go this way. Miss

Travis, even on a temporary basis, has

become too medals to tolerate any

longer.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

I'm going

Ah, not bad.

Almost doing as well as I did on my

first solo flight.

Okay, B, setting up for the landing.

NO, DON'T SHOOT. DON'T SHOOT.

HEAT. HEAT.

HEAT. HEAT.

Hey be not a bad landing. A little bumpy

on the approach, huh? But not too bad.

>> Dan

Dan, I just saw a man murdered.

>> You want to run that by me again?

>> You know those expensive houses off

Tropicana?

>> Yeah, sure. Well, I was making my

approach and I looked down and I saw a

guy get shot by the pool.

Dan, it wasn't a mirage.

>> B, you think you find that house again?

>> Yeah, it's about a mile from here.

>> All right, maybe we better check it out.

I'll call Nelson on the way. Would you

take care of the plan?

>> Sure.

May I help you?

>> Mr. Jeff, I'm Lieutenant Nelson. I'd

like permission to search your premises.

>> What for, Lieutenant? A shooting was

reported here.

>> Is this a joke?

>> No, sir. I'm sorry. It's not a joke.

>> May I ask who reported this alleged

shooting?

>> I did. I was landing at Austin Field and

I looked down and I saw a man shot at

your pool. He had a red sweater and red

hair.

>> Young lady, you made a terrible mistake.

But by all means, come on in. Have a

look around.

Ladies and gentlemen, don't worry.

There's been a slight misunderstanding.

Do sit down. Carry on with what you were

doing. Police are going to have a little

look around.

Gentlemen, be my guest.

>> Excuse me.

>> All right. Down. Check that down. to go

there.

>> Dave, I don't understand. These people

weren't here before. You know, I

wouldn't call you here on a wild goose

chase.

>> B, I wouldn't be here if I didn't

believe you. But you must admit this

doesn't look much like a murder scene.

>> I know. That's what I don't understand.

>> All right, I'll check it out.

>> Uh, Dan, I know that lady over there in

the blue. Her uh name is Margaret

Sorenson. She owns a string of designer

dress shops in town. And when I can

afford it, I go in.

>> Let's go have a little talk with her.

>> Be isn't it?

>> Yes. What on earth are you doing? We

just heard a rumor that someone was

supposed to have been shot here.

>> Margaret Sorenson, this is Dantana. How

do you do?

>> Hello. Sorry for the interruption, but

would you mind telling me how long

you've been here?

>> Well, I must have arrived about 3 a

couple of hours, I suppose.

>> Yeah, spending all the time out here by

the pool.

>> Yes, that's how the invitation read.

Cocktails by the pool. Oh, I uh did make

one trip to the powder room.

>> What about the others?

>> I doubt if the men use the powder room.

Why are you lying?

Lying?

Beatatrice, obviously you're upset, but

please don't embarrass me in front of my

friends.

>> I saw a man shot here and I want to know

why you're all covering up.

>> I won't stand here and be humiliated

like this. Now, if you will excuse me.

>> I haven't finished.

>> B. Come on.

>> With me? You have

>> she's lying.

>> What you're saying? I mean, the

implication is that all these people are

covering up too.

>> Well, that's exactly what I'm saying.

Well, is it possible that this might be

the wrong house? Is that possible?

>> You don't believe me either, do you?

>> I'm not saying that.

>> But you're thinking it.

>> I'm thinking that there's another way to

go on this, but not right here and not

in front of all these people.

>> Come on.

>> Place is clean, Lieutenant.

>> All right then.

>> Well, we struck out. No murder weapon,

no victim, no blood stains. Mr. Jeff has

been very understanding. I think we

should go.

>> Are you satisfied, Lieutenant?

>> Yes, Mr. Jeff. Sorry for bothering you.

>> Was no bother. As a matter of fact, you

made things more exciting. The party was

getting rather dull.

>> I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. I

know how you must feel.

>> Shall I show you out?

You all behaved admirably.

Get rid of the body.

memoirs.

>> I'm writing down everything exactly like

I remember it.

>> You're not going to give up on this

thing, are you?

>> Well, what would you do if nobody

believed you?

>> Probably try to find my way to the

truth.

>> That's right. All right. Now, I want you

to help me find the truth. So,

>> why should I? Other than being a very

intelligent lady, you're just another

pretty face.

>> I can tell. You're going to help me,

aren't you?

>> I can tell.

>> I can tell.

>> Yeah. Well, look, we don't know what

we've got oursel into here, so I don't

want you to do anything foolish. All

right.

>> All right.

>> All right. And you, Mr. Benzer, I want

you to run something down for me.

>> Sure. Lyall Jeff are host of the

cocktail party. I want you to find out

what he had in common with his guests

besides little tiny sandwiches and very

expensive champagne. What do you mean?

Something shady or something?

>> I know something they all had in common.

They were all very good actors.

>> Yeah. I want you to get personal. Do you

know what I mean by personal bins?

>> Yes. Private life.

>> Yes. Exactly.

>> Aa avantgard soup dour.

U bins.

>> You might need these.

I'm going to go home.

>> Uh B.

>> Yeah, I know. Nothing foolish.

>> In line now, girls, and let's try

another run through. Uh, can we have the

music a little louder, please?

For that white tie affair, one tiny

white satin bow and a floating black

crepe sheath is all you need.

A shimmering halterneck jumpsuit

completely covered with pale aqua pet

and wrapped at the waist with floating

chiffon panels.

The brilliant coral to hold it there.

Would you please Rhina? These panels are

not falling right. Would you ask

Maryanne to steam them all out and check

them thoroughly? Go back to Marandia.

Thank you.

>> Coral crepe.

>> Could we change the order, please? Could

we have the white crepe first and then

the coral crepe?

>> No problem at all. Thank you.

>> Just switch, girls. All right, you're

next. Classic white crepe gown.

>> Classic white crepe gown. The long

sleeves are widened at the shoulder.

Deeply curved neckline is accented with

drape bands of fabric.

Brilliant coral crepe sheen simply cut

to plate with shoulder detail of circles

of crepe and a carved low back.

An ideal gown for the bridal party.

Flowing apricot chiffon topped with

glittering sequins and beads.

A Grecian goddess in purest white silk

and jewelry. Blimmed in a gown with deep

slash neckline, tiny pepleum and a satin

waist.

>> All righty, we'll go on. An ideal gown

for the bridal part. Flowing apricot

farm topped with glittering sequins and

beads.

Hello.

>> This is Margaret. We have a problem.

>> Problem?

>> It's that woman, Beatress Travis.

>> She's up to something. She's been

hanging around the show rehearsal.

>> That seems to be the sort of problem

best solved by ignoring it.

>> Brilliant.

>> How can I ignore it? I don't know what

she's up to.

>> Then relax. The police have already

discredited her story. All she's trying

to do is to make it seem foolish.

>> I still don't like it. She's Tana's

secretary.

>> I know that. Be patient. Now you learn

to live with it. She'll give up.

>> And if she doesn't,

>> then we'll have to arrange to do it for

her.

This is interesting.

>> What is those people at the cocktail

party? Outside of a few traffic tickets,

I can't find a bad mark against any of

them.

>> Well, if you've gone to the trouble to

check them out, it must mean you believe

Bee's story.

>> Well, let's just say that I don't

believe Bee is a person who suffers from

hallucinations.

>> Well, for once, we agree on something.

Uh, any suggestions? Just one.

>> It's aatic, but when you have a murder,

you have to have a victim. So, until one

pops up, we have to sit patiently on the

sidelines.

>> What about missing persons?

>> Nothing. There's no report that comes

even close to the vague description that

be gave me.

>> You know, I can believe one person,

maybe two, covering up a murder, but

eight seems unlikely.

>> It's a second time we agree. Suppose

what we have here is a cover up. Now, it

was Lyall Jeff doing most of the talking

over there the other day, right?

>> Hold it, Dan. Tread softly on that cuz

he has a lot of powerful connections.

>> So do I. I've got you. Right.

Now, ladies and gentlemen, because of

the unfortunate incident that occurred

yesterday, I've had to make a decision.

Our association must be dissolved. This

will be our last meeting.

>> What?

>> What about the shipment that's due in?

>> Our associates in Paris canled it when

they heard the police report about the

murder that was committed here.

>> You killed that reporter, not us. I told

you before, under the law, we're all

equally guilty, regardless of who pulled

a trigger.

>> What about the money that we all put up

to smuggle in the merchandise? I mean,

between all of us, it must be close to a

million dollars.

>> I assume it'll be returned. But you must

remember the nature of the people we're

dealing with. I can't give any

guarantees.

>> We might have known that would be his

answer because he knows that we have to

keep our mouth shut.

>> Now, look, which would you prefer? to

risk losing your investment or to go to

prison.

>> Are you really sure we'll go to prison

or is this just some trick?

>> I'd like to remind you that I've earned

all of you, all of you, a great deal of

money. I resent those insinuations.

>> What's the point of arguing now that

we've all been made accompllices to

murder thanks to him?

How do we know you'll keep in touch

about our investment?

>> You'll just have to trust me.

>> But I think

her What does she need from you?

>> She listened to me.

She she she cared about me.

>> It means that's what it means.

>> You might just as well

than you ever did with me.

>> Tenner.

>> Dan. Hi Benzer. Listen, I have something

for you on Jeffrey's. It's not very much

actually, but maybe it's enough to get

you out of the shoot.

>> Go.

>> Well, the guests at his cocktail party,

as near as I could figure, they were

just friends, but I did get something on

his private life.

>> What?

>> Well, he had an affair with a lady named

Janet Wilson.

>> If I wanted to find this uh Janet

Wilson, where would I look?

>> Well, probably backstage at the DI.

She's in the Chorus Line.

>> Good work, Bins.

>> Okay, talk to you later. Bye.

Okay, rehearsal isn't over. Let's snap

up the costume changes.

>> Uh, Janet Wilson. Are you Janet Wilson?

Oh, hi. Uh, yeah. Yes. Great. Janet

Wilson. I'm looking for Janet. Janet

Wilson. Uh, are you Janet Wilson? Oh,

hello. Yes. Janet Wilson. No,

>> Janet Wilson.

K Wilson.

>> Hi.

>> What's your name?

>> Uh, my name is Tana.

>> That's cute. What's your last name?

>> Oh, no, that is my last name. My first

name is Dan.

>> Whatever.

Private investigator.

>> Mhm.

>> Like on television.

>> Actually, we don't have quite that much

fun.

>> Could we talk?

>> Don't look now, but we are talking.

I mean about Lyall Jeff.

>> That creep isn't worth talking about.

Oh,

>> this will just take a minute. Just a few

questions. All right.

>> Well, okay. I don't have much time.

We're right in the middle of rehearsal.

>> Just a second. Um, I understand that you

and he were um friends.

>> Don't you mean lovers?

>> Well, I didn't want to overplay my hand.

>> Neither did he.

>> What do you mean by that?

>> Well,

just let Mr. wonderful. Drop me from the

first team for some classy chick that

runs a boutique or something. Well, she

can have Elchipo.

Most money ever spent on me was for a

bottle of domestic champagne.

And that was flat.

>> Elchipo. I thought the man had a lot of

money.

>> Sure,

that's what he'd like everyone to think.

Know what he is? Just one big rental

job. Everything you see around him is

leases. house, car, even his women. Some

by the hour,

>> his new full-time lady. Her name

Margaret Sorenson by any chance.

>> He never mentioned her name.

>> I do remember a Margaret called the

house once. He said it was business.

>> Well, uh, thanks very much for your

time.

>> I'll be free after the dinner show.

Well, uh, it won't be soon.

>> Oh, I hate.

>> Oh, hi.

>> Oh, no. Wait. I I really got to go this

way. You see, that's No, that's really a

lot of fun. But I I really do go.

Oh, yes.

Very convincing performance, Margaret,

for our former associates. The role of

devil's advocate. You handle it very

well.

>> You weren't so bad yourself. I think

that Richardson smelled a rat, but I

doubt that he will pursue the matter any

further.

>> Not with a murder charge hanging over

his head.

>> Over all our heads. And now we don't

have to share the fruits of our labor

with anyone.

>> Correction. Aren't you forgetting your

new partner? It appears it went well

enough.

>> They all went like lambs.

>> Unaware that wolves dwelt amongst them.

>> It was very interesting. They fell for

it at Hookland Sinker.

>> I wish I'd been here.

>> I wish you had too. You would have found

it interesting being a writer.

>> I was a writer.

>> Liar.

Do you remember that little problem I

called you about? It seems it still

hasn't gone away.

>> She's still sniffing about.

>> Mhm.

>> She must be discouraged. Michael,

>> what exactly do you have in mind?

Nothing permanent,

more of a disabling nature.

Keep her out of our hair until after the

shipment arrives tomorrow. I can arrange

for a nasty accident.

>> Precisely what I had in mind.

Marian, bring me that wire photo,

please.

Did you ever hear of an investigative

reporter in the Midwest named Marcus

Hinton?

>> Hinton? Hinton?

>> Uh, didn't he write that expose on the

big building contractor had his hands in

the pension fund?

>> That's the guy. I got a call from his

Chicago newspaper this morning. He left

there 3 days ago forwarding a dress

desert in but he never checked in and

his editor hasn't heard from him since.

>> Dave, this hidden character has a

reputation for being a maverick. Does he

always check in with his editor on time?

>> That's not what his editor's worried

about. Dan, it seems that he came out

here to investigate a major crime

operation. And supposedly he had enough

information to bust it wide open.

>> Look, you didn't bring me down here to

go looking for a missing reporter, did

you?

>> Don't be too sure.

That profile and description came with

the wire photo. The wire photo is in

black and white. Read the description.

>> Marus head in 5'11. 185 lbs.

Red hair.

Beast victim had red hair.

>> Could be a coincidence.

>> I'm betting it's not.

>> So am I. Even so, that's all we have to

go on.

>> What if we could tie Jeff and Hinton

together?

>> That would be a start.

Well, if there is a connection, could be

that Jeff and Hit and talked by a phone

before he left Chicago.

>> It's a good idea. I'll check with a

telephone company.

>> There's something else you could check

out. It seems that Jeff has been

operating behind a wall of short-term

leases and credit cards.

>> What are you saying, Dan?

>> Well, it seems that our Mr. Jeff has

been enjoying the company of one

Margaret Sorenson on a regular basis.

And Miss Sorenson owns a string of dress

shops, got a lot of money, and maybe

she's footing the bill. And maybe

they've got something going on more than

just playing footsies.

this. be.

>> Hi.

>> Hi.

>> I got your message. What's up?

>> I know it's a long shot, but I wonder if

you could recognize this man.

>> Am I supposed to?

>> Could be the man you saw shot.

>> It's Marcus Hinton. He's a real famous

newspaper. That's

>> right. He was supposed to arrive in town

on Thursday.

>> Wait, how do you know this would be the

man?

>> Well, for starters, he's got red hair.

>> No, Dan. I can't be sure. I was just too

far away.

I uh think you should know that I

followed Margaret Sorenson today.

>> B, what did I tell you about that?

>> Oh, I remembered what you said and I

kept my distance. I just wanted to spook

her.

>> Well, how'd you make out?

>> I don't know. I followed her straight to

Jeffrey's house and the same people at

the cocktail party were also at

Jeffrey's house.

>> Well, but they're all friends. That's

not so strange,

>> isn't it? Well, Sorenson and Jeff were

having a heated argument outside while

the others were leaving, and nobody

stayed more than say 5 minutes.

That's a little strange.

>> I know something's going on at that

house, Dan.

>> That's none of your concern now, is it?

Be

>> Oh, guess not.

>> Just had juice and a little coffee. This

is

>> I wouldn't pay that if I were you.

You all right?

>> I think so. They tried to kill me. Yes.

Somebody will believe me.

>> Okay,

first thing in the morning, I'm going to

stop by and see Nelson. Maybe this will

convince him to start leaning on some

people.

I never doubted you for a minute, B.

I could have nailed her if it hadn't

been Vanna.

Don't concern yourself, Michael. You'll

be provided with another opportunity

very soon.

>> We haven't much time. I shouldn't have

to remind you that shipment's due

tomorrow afternoon.

>> Well, tomorrow morning after Tanner

leaves, you'll call up Miss Travis,

conjure up an excuse to get her out

here.

>> What kind of excuse? You know she

doesn't trust me.

>> Considering the amount of money at

stake, I'm sure you think of something.

Miss Travis, even on a temporary basis,

has become too medome to tolerate any

longer.

be able to pick up fins or if you need

me, I'll be at Nelson. Heat. Heat.

Jeff.

>> Uh, Tanner just left. She's there by

herself.

>> Tanner just left. You're on, Margaret.

You're convincing.

10 investigations.

>> B, this is Margaret Senson.

>> I don't think we have anything to talk

about.

>> Look, I wouldn't blame you if you hung

up on me, but please just listen and try

to understand. I admit that I lied to

you. I I had my reasons. They threatened

to kill me. B, I

>> I'm involved in something terrible.

>> Please. Please, I have to talk to you.

>> Well, where are you, Margaret?

>> I'm at Lyall Jeffy's house. There's

nobody else here. They've gone for the

day. A bee, there's something I've got

to show you. Can you meet me here right

away?

I'll be there right away.

She's on her way.

And so am I. I've got a fashion show to

put on.

>> Speed couldn't identify him.

>> Said she was too high up. All I figures

the telephone company recorded three

calls from Jeffrey's residence to hint

Chicago newspaper.

>> Well, that ties them together. What

about Jeffrey's business connections?

>> He owns a very large trucking company

that's only one audit away from going

under.

>> You're kidding. Well, you'd never know

from the way he lives.

>> Incidentally, your hunch about the

connection between Margaret Sorenson and

Jeff worked. He's a silent partner in

our dress shops.

>> Well, that nails it down. Why can't you

move on that?

>> Because my captain has asked me not to

go to the well twice with Jeffre until I

have something more solid. Now all I

have is strictly circumstantial. But

somebody tried to kill Bee last night.

>> Dan, I know that. Well, I can go to the

well twice.

Well, Miss Travis, you're becoming quite

a nuisance.

>> Not by accident.

>> She did quite a nice job, didn't she?

>> Yes, she did.

You're a Marcus Hinton, aren't you?

I used to be a big fan of yours.

>> I'm flattered.

No,

>> I said I used to be. I read all your

articles on organized crime and

corruption. What changed you?

>> Money, Miss Travis. A lot of money.

>> I think I made Mr. Hinton an offer he

couldn't refuse.

>> And that's why the pretending to be

dead.

>> Quite right. But unfortunately, you're

the only one that knows. Put you in a

rather uncompromising position.

because I was dumb enough to be flying

over at the wrong time.

>> Not dumb, Miss Travis. Just unfortunate.

>> It's rather sad, really.

Such a beautiful young lady should face

death so prematurely.

Well, the shipment of new gar just

arrived. Margaret will be expecting us.

>> I don't want a body found.

Put the coat on.

Put it on.

Heat.

Heat.

It's a very bad idea.

Take it out nice and slow.

>> On the ground.

>> B, you all right?

>> Yeah, I will be.

>> Dan, I've got a lot to tell you. Hinton

isn't really dead.

>> What?

>> Come on. I'll tell you on the way. Come

on.

You want me to keep an eye on him? We'll

call Nelson.

I'll just I'll stay here.

>> Don't be too long.

Marsh, that gown needs reaming again.

>> Where's the black sequin first?

>> Jan, get the zipper for me, will you?

>> I think the higher heels will look

better with this one.

I think Miss Sor like to talk to you.

>> And close the door, will we?

>> The ones we're looking for are marked.

Take the dress out.

All

right.

Flawless.

>> This shipment could be worth anything up

to $3 million.

>> I think this harassment has gone on far

enough.

>> Not quite. Why don't you stick around

and see how it ends?

You see, we know, Miss Sorenson, that uh

Marcus Hitten is not dead.

>> And we know you've got something going

with Lyall Jeff. Don't know what, but

something. Would you like to tell us

what?

>> Look, I don't have to answer any of your

absurd questions.

>> Well, maybe you'd uh rather talk to the

police.

>> When Hinton and Jeff were leaving to

meet you here, they said something about

a shipment of new gowns.

>> There's something else in that shipment.

Now, that's only going to make it worse

for you.

>> Not for me. For you.

>> Look, you know you're not going to use

that gun in here. So, why don't you just

give it to me?

Let's go.

>> Lock her in.

Diamonds. They're smuggling diamonds.

Going

Heat.

Heat.

That fan chair is really high. We

haven't got a prayer. We'll do

something.

>> Got an idea.

Hey, Pete. We need to borrow your plane.

Is this one ready?

>> She's all yours.

>> Thanks. Let's go. Let's go. We're going

for a ride.

Stop

heat.

Heat.

Heat.

We should be coming up on Highway 95 any

minute now.

And there's the highway.

>> Keep your eyes peeled for that Panta.

Yeah, I see it. It's them.

>> Damn, they're not slowing down much.

>> Now we'll see how good they are at

playing chicken. Huh? Hang on. Here we

go.

Heat. Heat.

The hell is he doing? Is he trying to

commit suicide?

Yeah.

Keep an eye out.

No.

>> Come on. I'm unarmed. Don't shoot for

God's sake. Give me a reason not to.

Get up.

Get up.

Let's

go.

>> Good work, B.

>> Thanks.

>> All right, get him out of there.

So this is the They smuggle diamonds

>> Sicker, get all this out of here. Point

of clarification.

Suddenly, all these people show up at a

party around the pool. While two men

stage a shooting, which B sees,

>> you see, they were inside when it

happened. Uh, Jeff advised them if they

didn't want to be accompllices to murder

that they should come outside and play

the game.

>> H

Dave.

>> Mhm. Aren't you forgetting something?

>> What's wrong?

>> You never did tell me you believed me

about the shooting.

>> B, I never said I didn't believe you.

But aren't you forgetting something?

>> What?

>> There was no shooting.

>> He's got a point,

>> Dan.

>> Yes.

>> Don't most bosses give their secretaries

great big bonuses when they help crack a

case?

>> Well, not most bosses. some bosses. I

suppose this is a designer dress. It's

very expensive. Besides, it's my police

are going to need this. Beatress
