eggs for what?

>> Look at this. My anniversary present.

for bringing me back to the same place

where we had a honeymoon dinner.

>> Yeah, of course. There is one slight

little difference, though. I mean, the

girl that I brought here the first time

wasn't pregnant.

>> Whose fault is that?

>> Well, don't look at me. I mean, I'm only

half to blame.

>> You know something?

I sure do love you a lot.

Everybody freeze. Put your hands on top

of your head so we can see them.

>> What's going on?

>> Mr.

Please.

>> All right. Come on. Come on. Come on.

Get out of there.

>> All right. All right. Now, everybody

listen up. I want you to line up

alongside this bar facing us. Come on.

Let's move.

>> Come on. Be real careful now. We don't

want any heroes.

>> You come here. You can help us take up a

little collection.

>> Are they?

>> Come on. Put everything in the bag,

folks. We want money. wallets, jewelry,

everything. Come on.

>> Come on. Put that stuff in a bag. Hurry

it up.

Come on.

>> I said everything, pal. Come on.

>> I'm scared.

Come on, let's get this stuff going.

Come on.

>> Now, we're all going to take a little

walk into that room now. Move. Come on.

>> How come we have to go back here?

>> Let's go.

>> All right. Come on now, folks. Come on.

Let's move.

>> Everybody stay. We've got our money.

Just leave us alone.

>> Don't hurt anybody.

>> Please.

>> Oh, please don't hurt us.

Oh,

no worries.

The French 1181

clearing.

>> All right,

Lieutenant, this is the kind of thing

that makes you wish it was the old days.

They used to just string them up when

they caught him. Sergeant, we are not

vigilantes.

>> Who's she?

>> It's Mrs. Anne Ree.

>> Mrs. Ree,

there's nothing more that can be done

here now.

>> Shall we go?

Well, according to the radio, there were

four killed and six wounded. So, you

guys did exactly what you were paid to

do, except one thing. These cash receipt

entries are not from this casino.

They're from some lousy supermarket.

>> Well, how the hell were we supposed to

know those were phone or papers? To me,

they're just a bunch of numbers.

>> If I could read them, maybe I wouldn't

be flying around the country killing

people.

>> Yes, you would. And that's why I hired

you,

>> Mr. Green. You should have let us do it

our way. your way.

>> Look, we could have dragged him out of

that place, stuck a gun in his mouth.

>> He'd have given us the right papers.

Then we just take him out and plant him

somewhere in the desert.

>> And that's exactly what I did not want

to happen because everyone, including

the copers, would have wondered why the

controller of this casino suddenly

disappeared. And what I don't need now

is an audit. No. That robbery was staged

and those people were killed to make

Arnold look like a totally innocent

victim. Not some bum that's trying to

blackmail me for half a million dollars.

>> All right. All right.

What do you want us to do now?

>> I want you to go out to his house. Tear

it apart if you have to, but this time

come back with the right cash receipt

entries.

Just a minute.

Can I help you?

>> They killed him.

Oh, why don't we talk about it?

Come on.

There.

>> Why did they kill him?

>> Who did they kill?

>> Phil.

He was my husband.

Yesterday was our anniversary.

>> What about you? Are you all right?

>> Oh,

no. I'm I'm not hurt. This is This is

his blood.

We're going to have a baby.

No,

I'm going to have a baby. You see, he's

dead now.

How did you happen to come here?

>> Um, you were recommended to me by one of

the policemen.

>> But how did you get here?

>> I walked. I've been walking for hours

most of the night.

>> Do you mind telling me your name?

>> An Ree.

>> Your husband is Philip.

>> Yes.

>> I heard the late news.

They mentioned your husband's name.

>> You were at the Villa Deas last night.

>> I want to hire you, Mr. Tanner.

>> I want you to find those two men who

killed my husband.

>> Why don't I get dressed and I'll take

you to your hotel where you can rest and

clean up.

>> I want you to find those men.

>> Okay, we'll talk about it later.

>> I want you to find those men and kill

them. Do you hear me? I want you to kill

them.

Thank you, ma'am.

>> Dave, you got a minute?

>> What all I've got?

>> Listen, I got a client. Her husband was

one of the victims in the shooting last

night.

>> What's your name?

>> Anne Ree.

>> Nice lady. I met her. How's she holding

up?

>> Metro homicide. seem instead of shocked.

>> I dropped her by the DI. The doctor gave

her a

>> sedative.

There's one thing that doesn't make

sense.

>> The report said that that robbery went

off as smooth as silk.

>> Why were those people, including your

client's husband, butchered?

>> Yes,

>> I don't know. Throw a killing maybe.

>> I guarantee you this. Every man in this

department is going to pull double shift

until I get that answer.

>> Las Vegas.

>> So, what do you need? I need a list of

uh the victims and the things that were

taken in the robbery.

>> Sure. Come on.

>> Las Vegas Metro Homicide.

>> Metro Homicide Department catching a lot

of heat.

>> Yep. All the way from the governor to a

lot of little old ladies who block

themselves in their bedrooms because

they're afraid to go out.

>> Yes, we have.

>> Looks like the whole town is shaking up.

>> Thanks.

>> See you later.

>> Hello, Lieutenant Nelson.

>> Las Vegas Metro.

>> Yes, Commissioner.

>> Yes, ma'am. They're following up.

>> Yes, sir. I have every available man on

him.

>> The police commissioner will probably

>> No, sir. We have no solid leads yet.

We're still questioning the survivors.

>> Yes, sir. I will keep you posted.

>> Thank you, Mr. Green.

Where the hell are you two guys been?

>> Where you told us to go. Arnold's house.

>> Have you got something for me?

>> Nope.

There were cops there.

>> Cops?

What would cops be doing around there?

>> Uh, who knows about cops?

>> Did they search the house?

>> Well, if they did, they did it before we

got there.

>> I want you to go back out to that house

tonight. I don't care how you go about

it or who else you have to bury, but I

want those records. And I want you to

check other places. Arnold could have

had a stash, maybe a safety deposit box,

maybe abroad, whatever. But I want those

papers.

Right.

>> Ah, Benz.

>> Vince, what are you doing here?

>> Well, I wouldn't want this to get

around, but I think I'm playing 21.

>> Didn't think you were shucking peas.

>> Really? You see, the thing is, in my

spare time, I've been going to dealer

school. I figure if I can learn to think

like a dealer, I can beat him.

>> How's it been going?

>> Well, it's not exactly perfect. I'm

sitting on a 19 and he pulls two kings.

Now,

>> Ben, it's not the dealer who takes your

money, it's the cards.

>> What are you suggesting? I should learn

to think like a card.

>> I'm suggesting you take this.

>> What's that?

>> List of all the things stolen from the

villa the other night. Yeah.

>> Check every fence in town. See if

anything turns up.

>> Well, if I find something, where you

going to be?

>> Having a little talk with Diamond Jim.

>> Ah, thank you.

>> Maybe want to try Craps. You know, I

know a guy that's got a perfect system.

>> Is he rich, have big houses, drive the

fancy cart?

>> I think I'll start checking the list.

>> Good. Thanks. Thank you. I leave a tub.

But you took it all.

Well, Jim, while you head ladies,

>> what brings you indoors on such a

cubrious day?

You heard about the shooting last night?

>> Indeed I have.

Such calculated slaughter, however

random it may appears, is beyond the

local catalog of savagery.

>> Then you don't feel like it was another

hold of a gam of muck.

>> Would you be investigating it if it

were?

>> There are a few holes in the robbery

theory. the time of the robbery.

7:00. Why not 11 or 12 when there's more

customers and cash?

>> Some wild little restaurant at all. And

according to eyewitnesses,

our two butchers were cool enough to

knock over the Federal Reserve.

I think the key lies in your cast of

victims.

And I do believe the law of diminishing

returns is at work here. That's for you,

Louise. Buy yourself a tank of gas.

>> Thank you.

>> You're cashing in.

>> I thought we'd try that great invention,

the we

>> Oh, yes. Yes. Uh, listen, Jim. Uh, do

you know any of the people who were

involved in this shooting?

>> Only what I read in the papers. Other

than the waitress and the bartenders,

there were four tourists. couple from

Idaho, another from Illinois celebrating

an anniversary.

>> Uh the other four were locals.

>> There's an older married couple and a

controller from a major downtown casino.

>> Top of the list, Gilbert Arnold.

>> You know the guy?

>> No, but he is the white pee in the pod.

>> Thanks very much.

Let me know if there's anything else I

can do.

You uh need their telephone numbers, for

instance.

>> Already got them, right?

>> He needs another telephone number like a

moose needs a hat rack.

>> Call Ballistics. see if they can match

any of the robberies involving 30

caliber bald ammo.

>> Come on in now.

>> No, sir. We don't have any leads as

suspects.

>> Well, tell the mayor what I told the

district attorney. We're working on it.

>> Las Vegas.

>> Welcome to this madness.

>> Is that true?

>> How about nothing to go on?

>> Metro homicide.

>> Yeah, it's true.

>> The cupboard is bare. You don't happen

to know a good psychic, do you?

Lieutenant Nelson.

>> No, I don't have a statement for the

evening edition.

>> No, we are not calling it a thrill

killing and we're not calling cult

murders. We're not calling it anything.

NOW, STOP CALLING ME.

>> There was a guy across the street from

the Capella de Estee who saw a car hurry

away. Check it out.

>> All right. What can I do for you in less

than 10 seconds?

>> Have you had a chance to check on the

victim's backgrounds?

>> All but those whose relatives are still

in shock. No underworld ties, as they

say.

>> What about Gilbert Arnold?

>> He was a bookkeeper. He didn't handle

any cash. He was Mr. Reliable. He went

to that bar on an average of three times

a week just to have a drink.

>> Yeah, Lieutenant Nelson.

The count is four dead, five in the

hospital, and one who escaped unharmed

physically.

>> Hold on a minute.

>> You got something for me? Uh, not yet.

>> Dan, you do know that any contributions

will be gratefully accepted.

>> See you later.

>> Yeah, go ahead.

>> 10 investigations.

>> B, have you heard from Venzer yet? No,

nothing.

>> Okay. I want you to start a background

check on the people killed last night.

Maybe someone had a good reason for

wanting one of them dead.

>> Okay. Where are you going to be?

>> I'm going to personally check on the

first name of the list. Gilbert Arnold.

He's got a home over on Desert and Road.

>> Talk to you later.

>> All right. Bye-bye.

Oh, [ __ ]

Not

heat.

risk.

>> All right, Gary, take him outside and

read him his rights.

>> I just pay my dental bill.

>> That's what you get for fighting. Look,

Dan, I don't know what we have here.

What he says is true. I can only book

him for breaking an enter ring. $500

bail and he's home free. Yeah, but I

still think there's something in this

house that could tie him into the

killings. Let's find it.

>> All right. This was the murdered

controller's home. But there are ghouls

who read the papers and then go burgle

dead people's homes because they can't

get caught.

>> If you don't believe that, neither do I.

>> It's not important what I believe. It's

what the judge will say about the

charge. So, I tell you what I'm going to

do. I'm going to go get a proper warrant

and come back here and do a thorough

job.

Uh, don't forget to lock the door.

Don't forget to lock the door.

>> Tana, investigations.

>> Ben, look, I want you to get down to

Metro right away. Nelson just booked a

guy by the name of Braden on B&E. When

he makes bail, I want you to follow him.

>> Anything you want. I'm on my way. Um,

this guy isn't, you know, suspected of

being a killer, anything like that, is

he?

>> Well, Ben's, uh, keep your distance.

>> Keep my distance.

Yeah.

Heat.

Ben, where are you?

>> Right here. Just outside of Pittsburgh.

>> Oh dear. You didn't keep your distance.

>> I kept my distance. You didn't tell me

this guy was a heavyweight contender.

See,

>> did you lose any teeth?

>> No, I got them all in my pocket.

Tough record you're in.

>> So, what happened?

>> Well, I I followed him to a bar, you

know, and he stepped into the men's room

and I waited. I waited 5 minutes. I

figured, what can you do for 5 minutes?

>> Uh-huh. So, I just stepped inside to

take a peek

and that's when he jumped you.

>> Yeah, it was the nicest thing he did.

Seems he had some questions he wanted to

ask me. You know, in between punches.

>> You didn't tell him who you worked for.

>> No. No. I didn't have a chance to tell

him. He kept hitting me.

>> See, I'm sorry, Vince. I thought he'd

figure you were police surveillance and

not bother you.

>> Yeah,

>> I'd have kept hailing him, you know, but

I was sleeping on the floor of the men's

room. They don't keep those places very

clean.

>> Listen, now you know who Gary Tinsley

is, don't you?

>> Mhm. The locksmith.

>> Yeah. Now, see if I can tell you what

that key fits.

>> Okay.

>> And I need it back, so don't lose it.

>> What do I look like? An idiot. Where are

you going to be tomorrow morning?

>> Which question do you want to answer to

first?

I'm going to go see Gilbert Arnold's

former employer.

>> Hey, listen. I suppose this is going to

ruin my engaging smile.

>> Oh, it's um it's kind of an improvement.

Looks like a dueling scar.

>> I'm going to have a scar.

>> No, really. It looks all right.

Well, we'll see.

You know, if we had a group health plan,

this would be a job related injury.

Employee beatings.

Actually, might not be so bad.

Wipe those tears, my little flower.

Merely a scratch from the raw tip of a

rapier.

Hidingburg 61.

>> Mr. Green.

>> Yes.

>> My name is Dan Tan. I'm a private

investigator.

>> Oh, yes. Curtis Green, what can I do for

you? To

>> ask you a few routine questions about

Gilbert Arnold.

>> Tragic. That was tragic. He's been here

with us for 14 years. Solid worker,

honest, dedicated man.

>> Um, did he have any personal problems?

>> If he did, I certainly didn't know of

him, but he he wasn't a drinker. That

I'm sure of. U spend much time at the

tables?

>> No. Closest he ever got to gambling was

the office pool around series time.

>> Uh, can I ask you who are you

investigating for?

>> Her name is Anne Ree. Her husband was

one of the victims at the villa asked.

>> How did Arnold get along with the other

employees?

>> Fine. Just fine. I mean, he he stuck to

himself mainly. Mhm. A lot of us often

wonder why he never got married.

I suppose there's a possibility of a

double life here.

>> So, thanks very much for your time.

>> Sure thing. Listen, if you ever have any

other questions, just feel free to call

on me.

>> You bet. Looks like uh business is real

good.

>> Yeah.

>> See, that guy I was just talking to is a

private investigator for the Desert Inn.

His name is Dan Tanner. He was just

hired by the widow of a guy that that

died at the Villaest. Her name is Anne

Ree. I want you to find her, talk to

her, and make sure she fires you.

Okay. Yep.

Just be cool, lady. We're only going to

talk.

>> Who are you?

>> I'm a person that needs a favor.

Sit down.

Now, I can always make you sit down.

What do you want?

>> That private investigator you hired,

Dantana?

Unhire him.

>> Why,

>> lady?

By firing Tana, you're going to be doing

yourself the favor. Not me.

>> What are you talking about?

>> I'm talking about that kid you're

carrying.

It's all over the news.

It' be a real shame if something

happened and you lost it.

Just go over to Tannis, pay him whatever

you owe him, get on a plane, and go

home.

I'll wait here while you call a cab.

M Ree,

if you lose that kid, you're not going

to have anything left, right?

Benzer.

>> Hi.

>> Did you lose your keys again?

>> Uh, no. Found one. And I need you to

tell me where is the lock into which

this fits. Well,

>> it's from a locker. That's for sure. I

guess. Luckily, you found an original

rather than a duplicate.

>> Well, that's great. So, you can trace it

back through the serial numbers cuz I

got to get this key back to Dan.

>> Right. Yeah. This could have come from a

bus station, YMCA, a club. Tell you

what, you sponsored a longdistance call

and I'll call the manufacturer and the

wholesaler.

>> Sure. The sooner the better. Okay.

Thanks.

Okay, I'll drop you off and you watch

Tana like a hawk and make sure this

thing works.

>> It'll work.

>> I scared her, but good.

>> Stick to Tana anyway. If he drops this

case, there's no harm done. But if he

doesn't, then maybe he's on to

something. It could be that he's looking

for the same thing we are. And he may

even lead us to it.

>> Dad, you wanted to see me, Mr. Reese?

>> Yes. I no longer wish to retain your

services. Here's a check for what I owe

you. And there's a small bonus in there,

too.

>> What's this all about?

>> I just decided that my hiring you was

emotional and not very practical. It's

pretty dumb to spend money on you and my

own future is so uncertain.

>> All right, but in my book, anyone who

gets a full day's salary should do a

full day's work. So, if you'll excuse

me.

>> No, that won't be necessary. Just count

it as part of the bonus.

>> That's not the way I do things.

>> I don't want you to investigate my

husband's death any further.

Why?

>> Because it doesn't matter anymore.

>> Maybe it matters to me.

>> No, please. He'll kill the baby.

>> Who?

>> I don't know. I think it's one of the

men that killed my husband.

>> How do you know?

>> I recognized his voice when he came to

my room at the hotel. He said if you

continued investigating, he'd make me

lose the baby. I'm sorry. I didn't know

what to do.

We're way ahead of the game. At least

now we know what one of the killers

looks like.

>> Town investigations.

Yes. Just a minute. Your favorite

locksmith.

>> Thanks,

>> Gary. Any luck?

>> Yep. And it's all good.

>> Where's this key fit?

>> Well, the key fits on a lock in one of

the lockers at the sporting house right

here in Vegas.

>> Good work. Look, if there's anything I

can do for you.

>> Sure. Pay for the bill that I'm running

up. Huh?

>> Anything but that. Hey, I'm good for it

later.

>> Be obby at the sporting house. I want

you to take Mrs. Reese over to her room

and stay with until you hear from me.

All right.

>> Okay.

>> Oh, almost forgot.

Hey, Ken. Hey, Dan.

>> Uh, you got a list of members have

permanent lockers?

>> Yeah, sure. Can

>> I take a look at them?

>> Not against the rules, is it? Uh,

>> anything for you, Dan?

Thanks.

Okay.

Better. See you later.

>> What's he got?

>> I don't know. He didn't have it when he

went in. Maybe Green was right. Maybe

Tana's on to something.

>> You think he's got the ledger pages in

there?

>> I think we can't take any chances. Let's

get that duffel bag.

>> He recognized me.

Heat.

Heat.

Dave, it was the same guy who jumped me

at the house. He had a friend. They

tried to kill me.

>> Terrific. When we find out who he is,

we'll pick him up.

>> Who he is? You booked him.

>> Look, the name was false and so was the

ID.

>> Well, what about the fingerprints? Were

they false, too?

>> We're still running them. Now, if you

haven't noticed, I'm busy. So, if you're

through.

>> No, I am not through. I'm telling you,

Gilbert Arnold is the key to that

massacre.

>> Oh, now we're back to your pet theory.

>> Yeah, we're back to my theory. I get

jumped by an alleged burglar. Somebody

intimidates my client. Two guys try to

kill me. All because I try to follow up

a lead on a dead bookkeeper. I'm telling

you, Gilbert Arnold was not just a

victim. He was a reason for those

murders.

>> Proof, Dan. Proof. You keep forgetting

that important fiveletter word,

>> Nelson.

>> I'll see you later,

>> Damn.

>> Ben,

>> hi. You got anything?

>> I got dynamite.

>> What's happening?

>> That's a look of appreciation. How about

a nice big smile?

>> You don't have to smile.

>> You know these uh these ledger pages you

found in Arnold's locker? Yeah.

>> They go to the downtown casino that

Curtis Green manages. Well, it's not a

big surprise. Ara was the comp troller

down there.

>> Yeah. Well, here's the surprise. The

records of the cash going into the

casino don't exactly match the records

of the cash going out of the casino.

>> Dream of skimming

>> with both hands. And apparently, Mr.

Arnold felt compelled to keep very clear

records of all this. See my train of

thought?

>> Yeah. Grievous skimming. Arnold found

out, put it on paper, and tried his hand

at it blackmail.

>> Exactly. Except he wasn't very good at

it.

>> What I still don't understand is the

shooting at the Villa desk.

>> Well, the way you got to figure is that

Green and Arnold were getting together

to exchange the ledges for the money.

>> So instead of going himself, Green sends

a couple of killers.

>> Yeah, but if Arnold had been the only

one killed, the investigation will led

right back to Green.

>> So they just kill a bunch of innocent

people to cover up what they're doing.

>> I'm afraid that's the ugly truth, Ben.

>> Well, look, why don't we go tell Nelson?

>> I just got a speech on proof. Now, this

proves that Green was skimming a dozen

time into the killers.

>> No, I guess it doesn't.

>> Come on. We're not going to prove

anything standing here.

>> I still don't understand how I can help

>> that man who came in here and threatened

you.

>> The man who murdered my husband?

>> Yeah. If we can connect him to Green, we

can connect Green to your husband's

murder. Our plan is to make Green

attempt to repeat a piece of history

tonight. Hopefully with the same two

gunmen.

>> And you want me to go along to see if

the man who threatened me is one of

them?

>> Yeah, but I'm going to give it to you

straight. It could be dangerous.

>> What did you have in mind, Dan?

>> I think it'll become clear in just a

second.

Ben,

>> that's okay as long as it stays at

>> Mr. Green telephone page.

>> Excuse me.

>> Yeah, green here.

Odd. Mr. Green. I hear casino noises in

the background. I thought skimming was

done in a dairy.

>> Who is this?

>> This is Gilbert Arnold's partner.

>> I'm afraid I don't understand.

>> All you have to understand is that I

have the ledger pages.

>> And what do you propose to do with them?

>> I'll give them to you and you give me

$200,000.

How do I know you are who you say you

are?

>> You want to take the chance?

>> Okay, tell me where and when. I'll be

there. I'll call you in 30 minutes, have

the cash, and be ready to do some

traveling. And Mr. Green, I don't intend

to be set up like my late partner was.

Good. Poor Mr. Green. The deja vu must

be killing him.

>> Does that answer your question, B?

>> Sure does.

>> Okay, after we leave, I want you to call

Nelson and tell him what we're doing. At

least attempting to. All right.

>> Ready?

Almost

sir

>> almost got a dime.

>> Some extortionist you make here.

>> Thank you.

Mr. Green, telephone page.

>> Mr. Green,

>> be at the pay phone at Sage and Fourth

in 15 minutes. And Mr. Green, I want to

hear your voice at the other end of the

phone.

>> It seems he intends to take me on a

treasure hunt.

Thank you.

enjoying

yourself?

>> Just get on with it.

>> Yuck and 12th 6 minutes.

>> Let's [ __ ] We don't want to be late for

the grand finale.

That man just getting out of the car.

That's the man that was in my room.

The other guy is the one who jumped me

last night.

So are them.

>> Okay, babe.

>> Hello.

>> Put the money on the ground and stand

there quietly. Tell your two friends to

get lost.

>> I don't like crowds.

You guys take off. Not too far.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Get out. Get out. Come on.

Heat.

Heat.

So, what's the matter?

>> Nothing.

>> Come on, Vans.

>> Look, I helped Dan wrap up the case.

Huh?

>> I get my brains kicked in. I'm probably

scarred for life. My car is totally

destroyed. Now, I don't mean to be

picky, but he doesn't even say thank

you. I don't get a pat on the head that

you give to a dog. Boy, some kind of

boss.

>> Hey, Ben. How do you like it?

>> What's that?

>> I bought you a new car.

Come on.

>> Yeah. Come here.

What'd you buy me a car for?

>> Oh, Vince, after all, you helped me

break the case wide open, right?
