Next on Vegas, a beautiful girl with

brilliant psychic powers predicts Tana's

death.

>> What if I told you that your life would

be in danger if you stayed on this case?

>> Oh my god.

>> Huh?

I'm

>> [music]

>> Mr. Cornell.

>> Yes. My name is Dantana.

>> Oh, come in. Come in. We've been

expecting you.

>> Thank you.

This is my wife, [music] Louise. Louise,

this is Dan T.

>> Thank you for getting here so quickly,

Mr. P.

>> Well, the sooner I have the details, the

better chance we have of finding your

daughter.

>> Uh,

this is u Christina. [music] She's 17.

When was the last time [music] you saw

her? Uh when she left the house to go to

the library about uh 6

>> and the library closes at 9:00 and uh

when we didn't hear from her about

11:00, we started to worry because

she's always been very

conscientious about calling when she's

going to be late.

>> Then when it got to be around midnight,

I was about to call the police when the

phone rang.

man said that uh

Christie is alive and unhawned

and will be returned that way if I pay 2

million in diamonds.

>> By when?

>> By 10:00 tonight. And then he went on to

say that uh

if I was tempted to uh call the police,

I should remember that penalty for

murder

is no worse than the penalty for

kidnapping.

>> Mr. Cornell, the police can be very

helpful without jeopardizing your

daughter's life.

>> I thought I made it quite clear when I

called you. Now, I I I'm willing to pay

the ransom. Now, your job

your job is just to be sure that we get

Christy back alive.

>> Mr. Hannah, um, would you step outside

with me just for a minute? There's

somebody I'd like for you to meet.

[music]

>> Cynthia

Jennings, this is Mr. Dantana. He's

[music] a private investigator

>> and Cynthia is a psychic.

>> That's nice,

>> Mr. Tanner. Cynthia is confident in her

ability to return Christy to us safely.

>> She has helped others.

>> That's nice.

>> I think Mr. Tanner's faith in psychics

is like believing in divining rods and

crystal balls. Well,

>> I wouldn't say that. Sometimes divining

rods find water.

Mr. Tanner, if we're going to be working

together,

>> working together,

>> I would appreciate it if you could

suppress your skepticism.

>> You see, we felt with the two of you

working together,

we'd have a better chance of getting

Christy back alive.

>> Mrs. Cornell, come on. Let me see your

daughter's room now.

>> Certainly,

>> Mr. Cornell, I've got a problem.

>> I know. I know. I know. My wife insisted

on hiring her. No, it's not that. I'm

not a total skeptic. She might even be

helpful. What we're dealing with here is

a major felony, and I'm legally bound to

report it to the police.

>> Now, Mr. Tenner, you have no right. Now,

I hired you to see that my daughter

would not be put in any greater danger.

>> The police will stay out of it if you

insist, but they'll want to hear it from

you.

>> All right.

This is the number of my brother-in-law,

Michael Pierce. Now, he's also my

attorney.

Now, the police can talk to him, but I

don't want them involved. I want you to

work with Miss Jennings, please. I don't

want the police snooping around here and

tapping my phone.

I can't bear the idea of anything

happening to my daughter.

Can you understand that?

I'll do what I can to find your

daughter.

Mr. Tana, what if I told you that your

life would be in danger if you stayed on

this case?

>> My life is probably in danger on half

the cases I work on.

>> You may die.

>> Yes, and I may not. It looks like we're

going to be working together. So,

>> you're not too happy about that, are

you?

>> No, I am not.

>> Well, I imagine some of the detectives

trying to find the Boston Strangler felt

threatened by Peter Heros.

>> Please give me a break. I'm well aware

of the fact that psychics can be very

helpful on police investigations. As a

matter of fact, I'd be delighted to work

with Peter Herkos.

>> Oh, well, obviously I'm not Peter Heros.

Oh,

>> and what's more, you didn't just tell

the Cornells you try to help them. You

practically guaranteed results.

>> Look, do me a favor, okay? Don't let

your opinion ruin their chances of

getting Christy back alive.

>> Oh, fine. Terrific. I can work with

anyone.

If you can just keep from shoving me

into pigeon holes, I think you may

discover that my talent is real. All too

real.

>> We'll be in touch. Mr. Cornell,

>> look, uh, if you come up with anything,

here's my card. Give me a call.

>> I already have. Right now, she's in an

empty room. She's blindfolded and she's

scared to death.

>> Tell me more.

>> If I could control what I see when I see

it, I would. But I can't.

>> I do it my way.

>> You coming?

>> Where you?

>> The last place we know Christy was for

sure. The library.

[music]

>> What is it?

I I just picked up on Christy again. She

She's being guarded by a Doberman.

>> It looks like it's closed.

>> They don't open till noon on Saturdays.

Black and gray Plymouth [music] Horizon.

It's Christiey's car.

What are you doing?

>> Being close to the things that she was

close to helps me pick up on her.

Right now, she's in an empty motel room.

There aren't any cars around. It must be

closed.

>> That's it.

>> Well, I had to leave something for you

to do.

Do you know how many motel there are in

this town?

>> Probably hundreds, of course.

>> Maybe more.

>> Well, okay. You'd rather I check it out.

>> Check it out.

>> I'll pick you up after I talk to

Cornell's brother-in-law, and then you

and I will uh check it out.

Heat. Heat.

[music]

>> [music]

[bell]

>> Hey, how's our little girl doing? Huh?

>> Shut up.

Shut up. Sit. Sit. Sit.

Take some advice. Don't upset the dog.

>> Cheeseburgers, huh?

With or without mustard.

>> I'm not hungry.

>> Oh, you're just trying to hurt my

feelings now. I know you got to be

hungry. Here, come on.

>> I said I'm not hungry. [groaning]

Yeah.

Well, I got a real big appetite myself.

Yeah.

[music]

B, get your face out of the chocolate.

>> Man, sir,

>> you wanted me to help you with the diet.

I'm helping you with the diet.

>> You weren't even watching.

>> I'm always watching, Beatric.

>> Just one.

>> Go ahead, have one. You want to look

like Miss Piggy?

town investigations.

>> B is the bins there.

>> Yeah. Your master's voice.

>> Hello, master.

>> Bins. Uh, the kidnapping case.

>> Yeah, Christy Cornell.

>> Yeah, right. Go by the Cornell's and see

if you can't get a picture of Christy.

Then take it over to the library annex

at Win and Harmon. Ask the librarian if

she remembers seeing Christy last night.

>> Get all the details you can. All right.

>> Okay. I'll talk to you later.

The Lord blesses those who removes

temptation from the path of sinners.

>> Someday you'll thank me for this.

[laughter]

Thank you,

>> Mr. Tanner. My brother-in-law has filled

me in on your conversations with him.

And if you insist on talking with the

police,

>> well, it's the law.

>> Yes. Then I insist on being there. Save

in about half an hour.

>> Fine.

>> And just so we understand each other, I

think my brother-in-law made a very big

mistake calling you in on this.

>> Well, I guess that's something we'll

both have to learn to live with, huh?

>> Yeah. Everything all right?

Everything's [music] fine

>> and keep it that way. We're less than 24

hours away from 2 million in diamonds.

So, let's not blow it. Don't worry about

this end. Everything's fine.

Christy has every right to our services.

It's our responsibility to become

involved.

>> The kidnappers told Tom Cornell, and I

quote, "If you tell the police, we will

kill your daughter."

>> All kidnappers say that.

>> They usually carry out their threats.

Lieutenant, my brother-in-law has every

right to tell you to stay out of this.

And that's exactly what he's doing.

>> All right, Mr. Pierce, you made your

point in your own typical endearing

courtroom style.

>> Then I have your word. No police

involvement.

For the time being,

>> I want you to tell your brother-in-law

what I said for the record.

>> [ __ ]

>> [ __ ]

>> Lieutenant Nelson.

Just a minute. Cynthia Jennings.

>> Cynthia, I was just about to call you.

>> Look, I just picked up on the motel

again. The motel where they've got

Christy. Can you describe the motel?

>> It's there are four white buildings and

there's a condemned sign in the front of

it and in the background I can see just

a glimpse of a jetliner landing. Does it

mean anything?

>> Well, it narrows things down. It's a

long shot, but I think it's worth

checking out. I'll pick you up in 15

minutes.

>> All right.

Well, I have to get to court, gentlemen.

So, if you'd excuse me, have a good day.

>> You too, Mr. Pierce.

>> Look, I'm sorry to drop this thing in

your lap, Dave.

>> Dan, it wasn't your fault. You did what

you had to do, but do me a favor. Keep

me posted. All right,

>> you got it.

>> Hey, Dan. How you doing?

>> Good.

>> Hey, listen. I got your information for

you.

>> Let's have it.

>> Well, the librarian does know Christy

Cornell. Apparently, she comes there all

the time. She was there last night until

closing time and then the librarian said

she saw her get into a van with a couple

of guys but just didn't think anything

about it.

>> Could she describe the two men?

>> Nah, it's dark, you know.

>> What about the van?

>> Well, I need you to ask them.

>> Nice suit, by the way.

>> Thanks. Fire sale. Um, brown and white.

She couldn't get the make.

>> All right, I've got to meet Cynthia

Jennings. See what else you can find out

about the van, right?

>> Sure. Van Johnson, Van Heftlin. Nice

suit.

>> Vanishing Prairie. Thank you.

Oh, you're free and you are.

>> Hey. Hey, cut it out. What the hell is

the matter with you?

>> There's nothing wrong with me at all.

>> Knock it off, I say.

>> All right, I'll have another beer.

>> Just stay away from that. Okay.

Yeah.

>> I want the two of you and that girl out

of there in 10 minutes.

>> What's going on,

>> Tana? That psychic I warned you about.

They're getting lucky.

>> Lucky? What the hell is that supposed to

mean?

>> You just worry about getting the girl

out of there.

>> And take her where? Am I just supposed

to drive her around stashed in the back

of the van?

>> $50,000. I'm sure you'll come up with

something.

>> And what's Tana supposed to be doing all

this time?

>> Don't concern yourself with Tana.

He's not going to be around to bother us

any longer.

>> My hunch is right. The motel is just up

ahead.

>> There it is. That's the motel.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Better way here.

>> [music]

>> Oh [ __ ]

>> [snorts]

>> I had another premonition, but I

couldn't warn you in time.

>> Isn't it great the way you can just pick

up on things like that? I'm not too

crazy about your timing, however.

>> Well, if they were here,

they're long gone now.

>> Oh, they were here. All right. How else

do you explain that dog?

>> What is that? NSA, Nevada Scholastic

Association. It's given the straight A

students.

>> Well, now we know for sure that they

were here.

>> Yeah. Well,

let's get out of here.

>> This way.

Heat. Heat.

[music]

That's them. Now, don't mess it up.

Can I see Christiey's pin?

>> Thank you.

Tanner Investigations

>> bins and Stan. I want you to check all

the kennels and pet shops that might

sell Doberman's. See if any have been

sold in the last couple of days. All

right, great. Talk with you later.

>> Oh my god.

>> What?

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

[music]

Heat.

Heat.

But you just made a believer out of me.

Jenna.

>> Hi. Bids are here.

>> Bins where?

>> Vickiy's happy ky kettles.

>> God bless you. Uh, Bins, are you all

right?

>> I'm just allergic to dogs. That's all

right. I'll be fine.

>> Allergic to dogs. Bins, why didn't you

tell me? I wouldn't have sent you over

there.

>> You did.

>> [cough]

>> What'd you come up with?

>> An allergy.

Uh

Mickey said that three guys in the last

couple of days have bought attack trade

Dobermans and [snorts] one of them, get

this, one of them had a brown and white

man.

>> Get a name on him.

>> Yes, I did. As a matter of fact, his

name is Carl Larson with a K. And I even

have an address on him. It's 112

Ridgewood.

>> That's the warehouse district.

>> Maybe he's into large living living

rooms.

>> Okay, take what you got over to Nelson.

See what he can tell you about this

Larsson character.

>> I'll do my very best.

>> Easy, Bins, before you rupture

something.

>> You're telling me man's best friend.

Listen, whoever said that ought to be

shot right in the middle of it.

[laughter]

>> I'll talk to you later. Right.

>> John.

>> I had another premonition.

>> A warehouse.

>> I'll go you one better. I've got an

address.

45.

[music]

Oh, no you don't. No, she saw me. She

saw me.

>> She didn't see anything.

>> She saw me, didn't you? How would you

know your back was turned?

>> Let it go. Let it go.

>> [music]

>> You blew it, baby doll. You know why?

Huh? Cuz now I got nothing to lose. You

know what that means, huh?

It means you and I are going to know

each other a little better.

>> Get away from us.

Get away from her. What do you care?

>> Now you try that again and I'll close

your face for [music] repairs. Do you

understand that?

>> Yeah, I understand. Let me go.

>> Where you going? Get a six-pack.

No, I'm sorry, but Mr. [music] Tanner

does not take cases involving peeping

toms.

No, he's not into flashers either. Uh,

look, I got a great idea. Why don't you

just call the police?

>> Hey, B.

>> Give me a hand here, will you?

>> Hi. How'd you make out? [laughter]

>> How'd I make out? You asked.

>> That was the question. Well, I'll tell

you how I made out here. Grab this off

the top, will you?

>> Okay.

>> Thank you.

After diligently tracking down what I

consider to be the most important lead

in this case, the case, in my humble

opinion, is solved.

>> What's in the bag?

>> A perfectly logical question.

>> Deserves a perfectly logical answer.

>> Well, while I was out, I bought a book

called, "Are fat persons an Endangered

Species?"

>> Is that a Beatatric joke?

>> Not at all. As a matter of fact, out of

the generosity of my heart, I have

decided to go on a diet with you.

>> Then why'd you get all this stuff?

>> This is [sighs and clears throat]

>> aversion therapy.

>> Whose version?

>> That's right. Sit down.

Sit.

Now

look at all these fattening foods. I

want you to imagine that you have eaten

them all. And you're really stuffed, you

know, right to the gills. See, that way

you won't feel hungry.

>> Then why is my stomach growling?

>> That's nature's way of telling you to

resist temptation. Now, come on, just

give it a chance. Concentrate. Okay,

>> Ben, now just one little piece of pizza

is not going to hurt.

>> B.

Well, I guess one piece wouldn't really

hurt much.

One piece each. We'll eat you.

Well, I tell you, we sit here working

our tails off. D's out cruising around

little red teabird.

>> It should be along here somewhere.

>> There. That's the one.

Are you sure?

>> Very.

>> What are you doing?

>> Calling Nelson. Look, there isn't any

time for anybody to get here.

>> What do you mean by that?

>> Something's going to happen, Dan.

>> To who?

>> I don't know. But whatever it is, it's

going to happen right in there now.

I

>> had to have your beer. You turn up. You

see what you brought with you?

>> Yeah, I saw him. So, what are we going

to do about it?

>> What are we going to do? What are we

going to do?

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Maybe that rubber skull of yours gave us

a break after all.

>> What do you mean?

>> You just gave us a chance to scratch him

and that seeing eye fortune cookie in

one easy move.

>> How are we going to do that?

>> Come here. Come here. Come here. You

stick in front of those doors. Get ready

to open them while I rev up the van.

Just make sure that you wait until

they're almost here. You understand

that?

>> Then I'll signal you.

>> Right. And then you get the hell out of

the way.

Okay, stay close. Let's go.

Come on. Let's go.

Just putting you in the van, that's all.

Okay.

Step up. Step up. That's it. Keep your

head down. Down in the back. Keep your

head down.

Peace.

Dad, [screaming] get out of the way now.

>> [screaming]

[music]

>> This is the other kidnapper. He's the

one that owns that dog.

>> His name is Carl Larson. According to

his police record, he's not a very nice

man.

>> Unfortunately, knowing who he is doesn't

tell us where he is or where Christy is.

>> I'm afraid we're going to have to tell

Cornell to go through with a drop. Well,

the highway patrol found the van

>> empty.

>> Yeah, and they don't have a clue on what

the kidnappers are driving now.

>> Maybe there's three. I still think

somebody told those other two guys we

were going to be at that motel today.

>> Ben, see what you can come up with on a

Michael Pierce.

>> You mean Cornell's brother-in-law?

>> I know it sounds crazy, but he was in

Nelson's office and overheard my end of

the conversation when you told me about

the motel.

>> Well, if there's a third guy, you think

he's it?

>> I'd say it was our number one candidate.

If you need me, I'll be at the cornels.

>> Okay.

>> Are you coming?

>> Yes, I'll come. You take that phone.

I'll take this one. Maybe we'll get

lucky.

[music]

>> You came so close to the kidnappers that

one of them wound up dead. Yet you can

tell me nothing.

Why could be in more danger than ever?

It's almost 10:00.

What if I never hear from them again?

>> I knew it was a mistake bringing these

two in.

>> Yes.

>> You have the diamonds?

>> Yes, I have.

>> Now, listen carefully.

>> You're going on a little treasure hunt.

Your first [music] stop is the bar on

the main floor of the Desert Inn. And

bring a cassette player because the

bartender has something for you to

listen to.

>> Now, first, I want to talk to Christie.

I have to know how she is.

>> You'll have plenty [music] of time to

talk after the drop. And one more thing,

I'll be watching. If I see Tana or any

cops, she's dead.

>> And it won't [music] be pretty. You

understand that?

>> Please let me speak with Christy.

Let's just hope daddy doesn't screw this

up.

Like, get down. Get down.

>> Where did he tell you to make the drop?

>> That's no concern of yours.

>> Look, it's crazy to do this alone. Look,

as of now, you're no longer my employee.

That goes for the both of you. And

please don't follow me. At least have

the decency to do that much for me. Huh?

I suggest you drop it, Tanner.

Attempting to soothe your ego can only

cause this family permanent suffering.

>> And what will it do for you?

>> Let's go.

Dan, I'm afraid we're still in the dark.

>> I couldn't find anything to tie

Cornell's brother-in-law and went to

kidnapping. Sorry, Dan.

>> Okay, Ben, thanks for your reference.

>> Come on, Dan. Christy is Pierce's niece.

He wouldn't want anything to happen to

her.

>> Christy isn't with Pierce. She's with a

man who committed a murder this

afternoon. There's no way of telling

what he'll do once he gets his hands on

those diamonds.

I only knew where the drop was going

down.

I know where it will be.

>> What do you mean you know?

>> Look, you've got to promise you'll send

someone else. Tell me you're not going

to go there yourself.

>> Cynthia, you are wasting time. Now,

where is it?

>> It's on the roof at the Frontier Hotel.

I had a dream this morning, but I didn't

really understand it until this evening

at the Cornell home.

>> Why didn't you tell me sooner?

>> Because in my dream, I saw you fall to

your death.

>> Do all your dreams come true?

Look, Dan, I saw the leather bag. I saw

the diamonds. And I saw you fall. It was

one of the reasons why I was so certain

about this case. When I met you this

morning at the Cornell home, I knew I

was tuned in. Dan, it will happen.

>> You got to get up on that route before

Larson does.

>> Send somebody else.

>> There's no time.

>> Dave Nelson, please.

Last stop, Mr. Cornell. Now, I want you

to leave the diamonds here and go home.

Remember, I've been watching you all the

way. If you've been good, I'll phone you

in half an hour.

But if you've been bad

Where's Anything happens to me, you'll

never find him.

>> Thank God you're here. Come on, I'll

explain it on the way up.

I said, "Where is she?"

>> All right. All right. All right. Blue

car rental 23rd in Highland.

>> Get on your feet. Come on.

Had a feeling you'd [music] turn up

here.

Give me those diamonds,

>> she's your own niece.

>> Why? Why?

For 20 years. That's why. For 20 years,

I set up every deal he made. I made him

then. I made him a millionaire.

He took all the credit and he just shut

me up.

Just turn around real slow and give me

those diamonds.

>> [music]

>> Bye. Yeah. [screaming]

Heat.

Heat.

[music]

Heat.

>> [music]

>> Christie.

>> Oh, baby, baby. Baby, are you all right?

>> I'm fine, daddy. I'm fine.

I called your mom. She wants to see you

as soon as possible.

>> Daddy, I'm so glad it's over with.

>> So am I. So am I. Baby

>> Christy,

these are the people responsible for

finding you. Cynthia Jennings, Dan Tam.

Hello. Hi.

>> Thank you both for everything.

>> You're right.

>> Excuse me, Mr. Cornell

Christy. I'm Lieutenant Nelson. Just a

few more questions and it'll all be

over. All right.

>> Well, my my daughter said it all. If

there's anything I can ever do for

either one of you, please please let me

know. 6.

>> Oh,

>> well, what do you say we go out and

toast to teamwork?

>> I like the sound of that. How about my

place?

>> Um, I don't know.

>> Hey, you're talking about uh honorable

intentions over here. I'm an honorable

guy. I just want to find out if you're

really as good as everybody says you

are.

>> What? I mean, I heard that you're very

good at, you know, I mean, at things

like uh bending [music] keys by staring

at them and stuff.

>> Yeah.

>> Come on now. Would I try to pull

something with the lady who could bend

keys for the rain?

>> Let's go.
