"So, did you know her well?" "Uh, a couple meetings." "She wrote a couple books herself." "About the music scene in Vegas in the '60s." "So, a piano expert ends up dead in a piano."

"If it meant that much to her," "I think she would have looked me up." "Can we keep this from Russell?" "Sure." "I'll process her room." "Little advice, though:" "I would stay out of autopsy." "C.O.D. is exsanguination due to multiple incised wounds." "27 to be exact." "Overkill." "But no sexual assault." "Defensive wounds on the fingers and wrist." "She put up a fight." "Any idea what the weapon was?" "Hilt bruises on the wounds." "Depth and width suggest a box cutter." "Something that a piano mover might carry around with him?" "I found these inorganics in a couple of the larger wounds." "This looks like the trace that Greg pulled out of the piano keys." "Hodges is already working on it." "So?" "Hover much?" "Results?"

"So you're thinking a piano repairman got into it with our victim?" "Well, who else would be using glue on a piano?" "That's a brilliant theory, Greg." "There's just one problem." "See, I tested all the glue that held our piano together and it's not a match to any of the fragments that you found." "Oh, and the carbon black and polyvinylchloride-- it's sheet vinyl, commonly used in floor tile covering." "My theory is that you're looking for somebody in construction." "My pleasure." "What's all this?" "It's evidence from Alison's hotel room at the Palermo?" "She checked in five days ago." "It's definitely not our primary though." "Place was clean." "Well, was she moving in?"

"The Rat Pack roamed the casinos and the Mob ran 'em." "Now, Ledo Wright was a hotshot young piano player from L.A., playing a week with Sinatra at the Sands." "The story goes:" "Ledo was hitting on one of Sinatra's dames after the show." "Grazetti was an aspiring thumb-breaker for Sam Giancana." "The new kid in town was also from Hoboken, so, of course, he and Sinatra hit it off." "Grazetti would have done anything to impress Frank." "Grazetti was a real hothead." "Ledo: no wallflower." "Both up-and-coming stars in their own worlds." "Things went south-- fast." "(woman screams)" "Ledo Wright's body was never found." "No body, no evidence." "No charges could be filed." "What happened to Grazetti?" "Disappeared." "Until he popped up in Jersey, 20 years later." "But, by then, Ledo was just a distant memory." "Well, his piano isn't." "It's been going to same repair shop in Los Angeles for years." "Place was scheduled to receive it two days ago." "Moving company's called "Play On Movers."" "The night that Alison died, their truck gassed up five miles from the crime scene." "Who was the driver?" "RUSSELL:" "Lenny Vanders, it says here." "Former musician."

"I was supposed to deliver it to L.A. for repairs." "The dead girl was definitely not on the shipping manifesto." "So how'd she get in the piano?" "No clue." "Look, I stopped to get gas." "I checked the piano, went to tighten the straps." "Next thing I know, I got a dead girl staring at me." "BRASS:" "And you did the right thing." "You called the cops, right?" "Look, I panicked." "I dumped it in the desert." "Who owns the piano?" "I got it up at this old theater." "That wasn't the question." "You know that Witness Protection thing?" "Can I get in on that?" "How does that work?" "Who owns the piano, Moondog?" "Tommy Grazetti." "Tommy Grazetti." "Yeah." "I thought he was hanging out in Jersey somewhere." "Since when did he come back to Las Vegas?" "How am I supposed to know?" "All I know is he runs this Rat Pack show at that theater and he used to kill people for a living." "Yeah, people like Ledo Wright." "If think Greg's onto something."

"It's really cool." "Note Seek has this database of songs that are catalogued by artist, year and title." "Then you take your app and you digitally listen to a snippet of music..." "(Sinatra song playing)" "And then it tells you exactly what you're listening to." "How cool is that?" "I thought you were more of a Grateful Dead kind of guy." "No, I am, I am." "This is just research." "Barbara's the Sinatra fan." "This one, we actually learned how to dance to that song at an Arthur Murray studio." "Barbara wanted us to learn how to dance for Maya's wedding." "It was fun, too." "How are you guys doing?" "We're good." "We're good." "Thank you." "Yeah." "She's still flying up to Seattle every weekend, but..." "Well, that must be really good for Maya and Katie." "Yeah, I hope so." "So, how does Note Seek alibi Lummet?" "I had to look that one up, actually." "Um... the company has these music spotters that they send out to clubs to listen and record new songs and remixes for the database." "And Lummet did say that he was music spotting on Monday night at the club." "And an exec from Note Seek confirmed his story." "Lummet turned in his playlist." "So I guess we no longer have a suspect." "Guess not." "(record skipping)" "Oh, Lord." "You don't get that with MP3s, do you?" "FINLAY:" "What?" "I have a..." "I have a box cutter in that left-hand drawer." "Can I have it, please?" "Sure." "Forgive me, Barbara, but it's for a good cause." "Does that look familiar?" "Vinyl trace Greg found in the piano." "Same as Doc found in the victim's wounds." "Vinyl tracings, box cutters..." "Maybe a record played a part in Alison's death." "Wow." "You have done a lot of work in here, Greg." "None of this makes any sense." "I thought that Alison was researching" "Tommy Grazetti's involvement in the Ledo Wright murder, but there is nothing in here about Ledo Wright." "So what was she researching?" "Well, she was definitely interested in Grazetti, but most of these files are about the Mob moving into drug dealing, or making inroads with the hippie crowd." "Tell me you got something." "Yeah." "I've got Alison's car." "The rental car company turned over the GPS files for the vehicle." "As you can see, most of her trips were right around the Strip, but on the day she was murdered, she takes a ride to an abandoned house in Henderson." ""850 Timber Lane."" "Yeah, does that mean something?" "Here it is." "October 26, 1966." "Tommy Grazetti walks into 850 Timber Lane." "What is this, FBI surveillance?" "No." "That's Sam Braun surveillance." "Braun had a P.I. tailing Grazetti." "Well, why would Sam be following him?" "850 Timber Lane." "The house was owned by a Linda Overton." "She was a trust-fund kid turned violent radical." "Robbed Braun's Rampart Casino in '66, killed two guards." "Died of cancer in '95." "The cops never found any of her co-conspirators." "Maybe Alison did." "Tommy Grazetti." "Yeah, this whole time I have been thinking that the Ledo Wright murder got Alison killed." "Maybe Tommy Grazetti was helping radicals rob a casino." "I've been looking at the wrong '60s." "You should've stayed in Jersey, Tommy." "But I guess everyone's past has a way of catching up to all of us, huh?" "I don't even know what I'm looking at." "You're looking at a crook." "And a murderer." "Sam Braun knew it." "That's why he had his P.I. take that photo of you paying Linda Overton a little visit." "Take a look at the date stamp, there." "October 26, 1966." "That's three days before the Rampart casino was robbed and two guards were killed." "Tragic." "Historic." "I had nothing to do with it." "STOKES:" "Just like you had nothing to do with" "Alison Bailey's murder." "Now, forget about the piano player" "Ledo Wright." "It was easy to make him disappear." "But this... ooh." "Well, that's a different story, isn't it?" "I think that you hightailed it out of Vegas in '66 because you stole from Sam Braun and killed two of his boys." "40 years later," "Alison dug up the truth, and you killed her for it." "I was also the guy on the grassy knoll." "Did you find that in her research?" "No, but I can tell you what I think I'm gonna find." "The name of a co-conspirator who was in on the heist with you and Overton." "You like the word "allegedly"?" "It's a favorite of mine." "Now, you just told me a little story about Vegas in '66." "I'll tell you one." "In '66, we're running the casinos." "Skimming, loan-sharking... you know, allegedly." "Life is good." "And then Howard Hughes buys the Sands." "Makes it all legit." "Not even Sinatra could get comp'd." "Yeah, sure, we still hit the Sands every day." "But not like players, kings-- no." "All we could do was play the nickel slots like a bunch of old ladies." "We had to come up with a different revenue source-- drugs." "Allegedly." "You're telling me you're a drug dealer, not a murderer." "I'm not telling you anything." "Except for Linda Overton was one hot hippie piece of ass." "(laughs)" "(hip-hop music playing)" "(scratching)" "Do you play weddings, too?" "I'm not playing, dawg." "I'm cleaning." "(laughing)" "What are you talking about?" "Well, as much as it pains me to admit, I was wrong about the glue that he found in the piano." "I think our killer used it to clean a record." "Wouldn't that mess the record up?" "Not if you follow this simple recipe:" "You take one LP album, add four ounces of store-bought hide glue." "Spread evenly across the vinyl." "In time, dust and particles affix to the glue." "After the glue dries, you take a handy box cutter, and use it to pry the glue off of the record." "And... voilà, a perfectly clean record." "RUSSELL:" "You also got a perfect negative of the record's grooves, just like these." "We got the grooves, why don't we just play the damn thing?" ""Name That Tune," name that killer." "(beep)" "SIDLE:" "I was able to assemble and reconstruct four separate audio segments from the glue." "This is what I got." "Track One." "(applause)" "Live album, maybe?" "Track Two."

"(slow, jazzy instrumental plays briefly)" "That's all I got." "I mean, if it were a Radiohead song," "I could help you, but..." "No, wait a minute, wait a minute, I..." "let me use my app here." "God, I love this thing." "(imitating Bogart):" "Play it again, Sara." "(instrumental plays)" "(beep)" "Ah!" "Sinatra at the Sands." "Classic album." "Seems whenever this case takes a turn, it's always back to 1966." "Taking a music break?" "Listen to this." "GRAZETTI:" "Yeah, sure, we still hit the Sands every day." "But not like players, kings-- no." "Grazetti's interrogation?" "Yeah." "I've been listening to it for the last couple hours." "The guy's lying." "You didn't expect him to admit to killing Alison." "No, I'm not talking about Alison." "I'm talking about the Sands in '66." "Grazetti said that he was" ""hanging with the boys" in the casino." "That's impossible." "Why?" "The Vegas Black Book." "It's a list of all the people banned by the Gaming Commission." "In 1965, Tommy Grazetti was busted for counting cards." "He was banned from the Sands after that." "So there's no way he was hanging with the boys in the casino." "But why would he lie about that?" "Maybe... he forgot." "Trust me, guys like Grazetti don't forget about their Vegas glory days." "In fact, they spend more time living in the past than in the present." "Kind of... sounds like you're talking about yourself more than Grazetti." "What's that supposed to mean?" "Greg... your... passion for Vegas history is awesome." "It makes you a better CSI, right?" "And..." "I'm... the last person who should be giving relationship advice, but..." "I mean, look at you, you're... you're a hot guy;" "you're smart, you're funny, you're... a total catch." "What I'm saying is..." "with Alison, with your obsession with the past, maybe you should stop looking back, you know?" "Try... moving forward." "You're right." "You are the last person who should be giving relationship advice." "(chuckles softly)" "All I'm saying is, with my parents' divorce," "I couldn't get past it;" "I-I thought of my father as this one guy, and..." "I came to realize he was a completely different person." "You know, maybe..." "Wait." "What you just said." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "(spritzing)" "I think you're gonna be a little late for that show." "Yeah, well, not for Ledo Wright's thumbprint." "RUSSELL:" "You're kidding me." "A 46-year-old print?" "You're gonna make the Journal of Forensic Science." "I'm gonna make more than that, bubby." "Look at that photo of Ledo Wright." "See the ring on his finger?" "Yeah." "Ledo always wore an Irish Claddagh ring." "Now, I blew up this photo of Tommy Grazetti in front of Linda Overton's house." "What's on his hand?" "An Irish Claddagh ring." "What is Grazetti doing with an Irish ring?" "He's Italian as pasta." "Because it's the same guy." "So maybe it's the other way around-- maybe Ledo Wright killed Grazetti." "And assumed his identity." "It's a good story." "One I am going to prove." "Now, Nick already got" "Grazetti's print when he brought him in, and now we have Ledo Wright's print from the poster." "RUSSELL:" "Wow." "Hey, that's great work, Greg." "For 46 years, Ledo's been hiding." "Alison found him, and that got her killed." "The guy putting on the fake Rat Pack show is the biggest fake of 'em all." "(piano playing gentle melody)" "That's a Ledo Wright flourish if I ever heard one." "Same build, same looks, a few nips and tucks." "But you couldn't change your fingerprints." "It all made sense." "The legend." ""Gangster kills piano player."" "(chuckles)" "But Alison... discovered the truth." "I didn't kill Allison." "I didn't kill anyone." "Not wanting to kill is how this whole damn thing got started." "1966 was a... a very good year for an up-and-coming piano player, but a very bad year if you drew the wrong number in the draft." "I thought my only choice was to go to Canada." "And then... (chuckles) fate stepped in." "It was just another night in paradise, hanging out with the boys." "Yeah, Tommy and I, we had our differences, but we made up." "We always told Tommy, "Swallow first, then flap your gums."" "(choking)" "It all happened so fast." "Tommy, get up, man." "What are you doing?" "We tried to revive Tommy, but it was no use." "He was gone." "And I was supposed to report for basic training in two days." "And the boys, they come up with this crazy idea." "And the more I thought about it, the less crazy it got." "Tommy was the same height, same build." "I dyed my hair," "(lowers voice):" "made a few adjustments." "Showtime." "Why'd you come back to town?" "Vegas." "At least the Vegas I remember." "Frank and the boys, the songs... the attitude." "(chuckles)" "Man, it was magic." "And now..." "I get to bring that back to life every night... right here." "SANDERS:" "Ledo Wright's story checked out." "He put me onto a 1966 John Doe." "C.O.D.: asphyxiation due to chicken bone." "And you believe this guy?" "Well, I believe Ledo Wright isn't a killer." "Well, hell, somebody cut up that girl and put her in the piano." "Hey, guys, I've been doing some research on our album," "Sinatra at the Sands." "Turns out it is a very rare pressing." "RUSSELL:" "Go on." "Every vinyl record is imprinted with a stamped I.D. on the lead-out groove." "And that I.D. can be used to trace it to the manufacturer or the label." "You remember the number sequence that we found in Alison's appointment book?" "It's the same number." "It says here they only pressed a thousand copies." "And only one store in town sells it." "What's up, Moondog?" "Came back for the Strat?" "Sweet." "Actually, I'm looking for a record." "A very rare pressing of Sinatra at the Sands." "BRASS:" "I know." "You move a lot of records." "You got that right, dude." "But I did move that, couple days ago." "I got it right here." "Yep." ""Jeff Lummet."" "Jeff Lummet?" "The Sinatra impersonator." "That's the guy." "He said it was a gift for-- his words-- "a hot dame."" "What a tool." "And you would know." "So what?" "I bought a Sinatra record." "A guy like you's got every Sinatra record ever made." "No, no, no, not this one." "This is 180-gram vinyl." "It's like he's whispering in your ear." "Must be great to impress a girl." "STOKES:" "Yeah, Moondog already told us that you gave it to "a hot dame."" "You want to tell us where you really were Monday night?" "(scoffs) I already told you." "That's right." "You were recording some songs using Note Seek?" "They gave us a copy, I think, of the playlist." "BRASS:" "And the D.J. gave us his playlist from Monday night, so, let's play the music and dance." "♪ ♪" "Does not compute." ""Unknown song." How about that?" "Ah." "That one single song the DJ played is in Note Seek's database." "You weren't there, Jeff." "BRASS:" "I mean, why would a beautiful, smart girl like Alison go out with a guy like you?" "You're a two-bit impersonator, working a nostalgia act worse than a cruise ship." "Hey, I beat out hundreds of Broadway stars to be Frank." "You want to know how?" "!" "I'm dying to know." "He thinks he's as good as Frank Sinatra." "Better." "As good." "As good." "You know, chicks hear me, and I feel sorry for them." "Their seats puddle when they hear what Jeff Lummet's got." "BRASS:" "You're an impersonator." "You're Jeff Lummet." "You're not Francis Albert Sinatra." "You're not even in the same area code." "STOKES:" "Let's get back to the girl." "So, you say you met her a couple years ago, and you were helping her with the book, right?" "I had my hands full with a redhead at the time." "I must have broken her heart." "So, what, she forgets about you, and she doesn't call you when she comes to town?" "Is that it?" "She called me plenty." "She needed help finding one of Frank's records." "Sinatra at the Sands, and you're the go-to guy on all things Frank, right?" "I told her to meet me backstage after the show." "BRASS:" "Yeah?" "To give her the record." "Right." "Get it all nice and cleaned up." "Uh-huh." "And she says it's not even for." "It's a surprise gift for some guy named Greg." "Turns out she hooked up with him a couple years ago, still has feelings for him." "Or some..." "I mean, what the... what the hell, right?" "The Chairman of the Board got played." "The guy who's better than Frank, right?" "You're damn right." "I did her a favor, and she spits in my face." "She spits in my face!" "Yeah." "Did she not know how things are done?" "How we do things here?" "Right." "How are things done..." "Frank?" "They're done my way." "Well, it's a surprise..." "just for you." "It's not for me." "It's for my friend Greg." "What?" "What?" "(grunts)" "(gasps, screams)" "(cries and yelps)" "(yells) (crying)" "(thud, notes play)" "How's this sound?" "Huh?" "How's this sound?" "!" "You okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "About earlier, I'm sorry for what I said..." "No." "I'm the one who should be sorry." "I..." "The last night we spent together," "I told Alison that I'd meet her in New York." "Even though I knew it would never happen." "Why not?" "Why spoil a perfect memory?" "She wanted to see you." "That's something to hold on to." "Just bought this." "You know what Sinatra always said?" ""That's life"?" "(quiet chuckle) No." ""The best is yet to come."" "(Frank Sinatra music playing)" "♪ ♪" "♪ ♪" "== sync, corrected by elderman =="
