"Before we started, they are some things that you should know about the Montecito." "You know the Montecito." "That's where I work." "Good morning, Mr. Cannon!" "And a very good morning to you, Mr. McCoy." " Muffin?" " I'm Delinda Deline." " I'm Mary Connell." " I'm Sam Marquez." "I'm Ed Deline, I'm president of the Montecito." "I'm the owner." "You own the Montecito." "I'm only..." "I'm only the owner because, uh, the last owner, my ex-husband Casey Manning..." "He got eaten by a giant squid." "This giant squid, uh, grabbed him." "They air-lifted him to the hospital, but by the time they got there, he was dead." "Giant squid." "Then we had this other owner and she flew off the roof and landed head-first into a shoes store." "We threw her ashes into a toilet." "Then there's the issue of the $241 million dollars in back taxes that my ex-husband owed." "If you are unable to pay these taxes within the next seven days, the IRS will have no choice but to seize the Montecito." "How would you like to be my copartner in the Montecito?" "Why wouldn't I just wait a week until the IRS sees this place and then I could buy it in private auction for half of what you're offering?" " So what you think?" " I think I just bought you a hotel." "What did you put in there?" "It's time for us to check out, Sammy baby." "Okay, here things get a little bit crazy." "So while I am being kinapped, the Montecito is being robbed." "We have reports of gunfire in the transfer hall outside the vault." "We're being on it." "Get me security down there right now!" "Meanwhile, Danny's at a bar across town because it's the same bar that Mary went to because she's gonna shoot her father." "but what neither Danny or Mary knows is that Ed is also here." "Okay, so one of the three of them shot Mary's father." "Listen, whatever you're planning, please don't do it." "And Delinda is in a suite with one of Danny's buddies who has a bomb." "But what nobody knows is that he told Delinda to leave." "Get out..." "Now." "Me, I was..." "I was tired up." "In a box." "I want wheels up in less than five." "Please, open the door!" "Please help me!" "Please, anybody!" "Open up, please..." "I know what you're thinking." "at least one of us isn't coming back to Las Vegas." "It might be me." "Delinda." "This is gonna take a lot longer than an hour." "I'm gonna need two." "Come on, Delinda, answer your phone." "Mary, you gotta go." "You gotta go out of here, come on." "We gotta go." "We've have simultaneous fire alarms on floors 35 to 38." "Evacuation of the Montecito is necessary." "Mitch, what the hell is going on?" "Ed, the vault has been hit." "An entire security team is down." "We have automatic weapons fire, at least four suspects, and there was an exploon on the 37th floor." "Where's Mike?" " He went after Sam. she's been kidnapped." " Kidnapped ?" "!" "Hey, sunshine." "Would you like to be an honary member of my very private mile-high club?" "I'll bet you would." "She is in a trunk on Vince Perterson's jet." "Call the FBI," "Give them the tail number of that plane and get it grounded asap." "There's been an explosion at the Montecito where an evacuation is underway" "We got company!" "Let's go, let's go!" "Get the money!" "Go !" "Alert s.w.a.t." "We've got four guns on the north loading dock." "Come on, pick up!" "Is that Ed?" "Keep moving, keep moving." " Are the elevors working?" " What?" "Are the service elevators still working?" "Just one of them in back of." "Let's go, let's go." "Yes, sir." "Sir, you want to take down to the end of the hall?" "All right, light on this." "We're clear." "You... like to make... things.." "difficult!" "I heard you were a wild thing." "You've got a little charm bracelet." "Oh, stop." "Relaxe." "Here we go!" "Oh, yeah!" "That's fine italian leather." "Just for you, Sammy." "This party begin." "Mayday, mayday, Las Vegas tower." "We've lost cabin pressure." "Requiring emergency landing." "At the Montecito please remain calm and locate the nearest exit." "We've got body parts all over in." "Whoa, whoa my girlfriend... sorry..." "my girlfriend..." "Sorry, there's nobody..." "my girlfriend is in this suite!" "She just called me..." "No one's left alive in there." "I'm sorry." "Dee!" "D, allez." "Hey, okay." "Are you okay?" "I tried to help Jason but he wouldn't listen." "I know." "You're gonna be okay." "Okay, baby?" "Oh, my god." "The baby." "Wha... what baby?" "I am pregnant Danny." "Las Vegas 501 A Hero Ain't Nothing But A Sandwich 502 Shrink Rap" "The "Vegas Team" h" "Go figure the irony, McCoy." "Top not vegas surveillance guys gets caught on video by a couple of drunk asses with a cell phone." "That was insane!" "Man, let's get out of here." "Come on." "Gotta love the internet, huh?" "Apparently, not only cops get caught on video." "You got nothing." "You pumped three slugs into Frank Connell, McCoy." "I got over a dozen witnesses that heard you threaten to kill him going back to when you were in high school." "You killed Frank Connell, you gave Mary Connell the murder weapon." "She drove off with it." "My guess is the two of you have this plan for a long time." "She's protecting you." "We've got the residue tests, it was negative." "where is Mary Connell?" "Where is she?" "Where's Mary Connell?" "I don't know." "I have no idea." "You just sit in here and in rot." "Detective Dylan." "You've got nothing on Mr. McCoy." "You've had him locked up for over 36 hours." "And I can hold him for 72." "Either charge him with something or let him go." "I'm surprised Deline didn't come down here and bail you out, McCoy." "Oh, I think he's got bigger problems to deal with since someone robbed the Montecito and killed three of his employees which, by the way, shouldn't you be looking for the guy." "Which ran away with $10 million in cash?" "I'm gonna prove that you killed Frank Connell, McCoy." "You're going down for murder." "Great, I have a look forward that." "Let him go." "This is chopper four, we're gonna turn around and take a look at the damage." "Carry on it." "The only floor that was affected by the incident was the 37th, and it was only a portion of one wing, which is already under repair." "I assure you, the Montecito is fully functioning, operational, and safe." " What happened next?" " Then Vince opened the door to the plane to toss me out, but he flew out himself." "You'll testify under oath that's how it happened?" "I weigh about 100 pounds, this man's over six feet tall, you do the math." "Where'd he land?" "He didn't actually land as much as he did splat." "Nice." " Hey!" " Hey!" " You okay?" " I'm fine." " You sure?" " Yeah, I'm sure." "Where's Mary?" " I don't know." " Did she kill her father?" " I don't know that either." " We need to find that out." "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Slow your roll." "Let the blood rush back to your head, Sam." "You were kidnapped, bound and gagged and stuffed in a trunk." "Yeah, so?" "So I think you need to talk about what happened." "Nothing happened Mike." "How many times do I have to say it?" "Now, is Ed hiding mary or is Danny hiding her?" "Or they're doing together?" "Oh, I need to talk to Ed about the Montecito back taxes." "Well, I thought you had taken care of that." "Yeah, well, I had until Vince decided to fly out the airplane." " I've been a little tied up also." " Right." "It was self defense." "Yeah." "He flew right out the plane just like Monica flew off the roof, remember?" "Simple as that." "You're telling me you haven't got one lead on this bastard who walked off with 10 million plus," "Despite the fact that you have his accomplice in custody." "Either he's not talking or he doesn't know anything." "Someone will talk, Ed." "Oh, oh, just give me 10 minutes with this douche bag," "I promise you he'll talk." "We can't do that, you know it." "Listen, I got three dead employees, five in the hospital." "Yeah, and you killed two of the gunman which should be cause for a full scale investigation." "Excuse me." "They were shooting at me." "Now look, if I were you, Ed," "I'd start taking a real close look at some of my people." "Especially the ones that had access to the transfer hall just outside your vault, 'cause this has inside job written all over it." "Ed, we need to talk about the back tax situation, we're running out of time." " Is this a bad time?" " Uhm, yeah." "Looks like it's a bad time." "I'll come back." "Hey Danny, did you kill Frank Connell?" "We know you and Mary Connell used to be engaged and that you were lovers." "Did she kill her father?" "Was it planned, Danny?" "Ladies and gentlemen, my client is innocent." "Then why was he at the scene of the crime with a gun?" "He's the head of security and surveillance for the Montecito." "He's licensed to carry a weapon." "But he wasn't at the Montecito, he was sneaking around the parking lot of a bar with his gun drawn." "Why is that, Mr. McCoy?" "And where is Mary Connell?" "Where is Mary..." "Mr. McCoy does not deny he was at the scene of the crime." "Danny, don't let your lawyer talk for you." "Come on, talk to us." "There was no bail, he was just released." "This is crazy." "Roll down the window, Danny." "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "I'm fine." "What about you?" "Are you okay?" " How is it?" " It?" " The baby?" "Good." " Good." "The doctor said all good." " Good." " Yeah." " Good to go." " Huh." "Huh." "I guess we should get married." "You guess we should get married?" "Well, yeah..." "you're pregnant." "Yeah, but we're not getting married just because I'm pregnant." "You don't want to marry me?" "Yes, but not because I'm pregnant." "I mean, I want you to marry me because of me." "Is me being pregnant the only reason why you want to marry me?" "No, that's not the only reason." "It's..." "A big reason..." " What?" " Danny!" "I just want what's best for the baby." " So you want the baby." " Yeah!" "Yeah..." "Yes." "Don't you?" "Yes..." "I do." "I want us to be a family." "So do I." " Did you do it?" " Did I do what?" "Kill Mary's father." "I'm not gonna do this, Danny." "I watched my father keep secrets from my mother my whole life." "If we're gonna be a family, we can't keep secrets from one another." "I want a tail on McCoy 24/7." "That son of a bitch is gonna lead us right to Mary Connell." "I just don't think we can pull fly on the Montecito." "We got a day and a half to come up with 41 million, plus change." "And..." "I just don't think it's possible." "Are you saying you're out?" "No, I'm saying..." "we're running out of time." "And I do have a few problems to take care of." "Just a few." "Oh, I have an idea." "Ed, honey." "If you want to own the Montecito, you have my support." "Wow." "What just happened here?" "What about traveling?" "No, I want to travel, it's just I was thinking..." "You were thinking that now you're a grandmother that changes everything." "Yeah, it does." "Mh, yeah, I know what you mean." "There's so many things that Danny and Delinda don't know." "Well, I'm sure you're right, professor, but I think we should allow them to work these things out for themselves." " Yeah, but..." " But nothing." "See, we are going to be grandparents." "Not parents." "Fine, but I'm gonna spoil that kid rotten." "That's part of being a good grandparent." "Let's go shopping for the baby." "Uhm... you, you go ahead." "I just got a few things to do, okay?" "Okay." "Okay." "You have a good time." "Honey, you don't think Danny had anything to do with what happened to Mary's father, do you?" "No... no, he didn't." "Mary shot him." "That's why she left, isn't it?" "Hello." " Hey, uh, it's Deline." " Yeah." "I need you to check up on something for me." "I'm looking for someone who came into a lot of cash," "Making unusual..." "you know, financial transactions." "Probably a local spending a lot more than he makes." " All right." " Probably bragging about it." "All right." "So if you hear anything, just give me a call as soon as you can, all right?" "You got it." "Something happened in Vince Peterson's plane she's not talking about." "She did just go through a pretty traumatic event." "I'm sure it will take her some time to deal with it." "I think she pushed him out of the plane." " You think she killed Vince Peterson?" " Yeah." "And..." "I think you killed Mary's father." "Why don't you just make it easier, on all of us, Mr. Deline." "Where is Mary Connell?" "Look, I told you before." "I have no idea okay?" "Then why is you boyfriend hiding her?" "You know what I think?" "I think your boyfriend's banging her too." "Hey." "Hey!" "Hey, we need to talk..." "Cop?" "See ya..." "If you'll excuse me, I..." "We can do this here or we can do this at the station." "You know I don't have a problem locking people up." "Are you threatening me?" "It is not actually a threat when you follow through on it." "Look..." "I'm not really feeling well." "Don't you ever walk away from me." "I don't know why they call it morning sickness when it lasts all day long." "Whoo!" "I feel better." "Oh, I told her not to eat the mushroom and anchovy pizza." "We got balistics back, McCoy." "There were three slugs in Frank Connell." "Two O.38s and a 380." "We know Mary Connell just bought a .38 from a pawn shop." "I guess you both shot her father, huh?" "380 was the kill shot, right to the heart." "Now being a decorate marine and all, you wouldn't have much trouble making that shot, would you, McCoy?" "No, I wouldn't have much trouble except..." "You shot him and she shot him, then she drove off with the weapons." "You know what?" "You should go change." "You smell like vomit..." "And I got a really bad gag reflex." "You are going down for murder, McCoy." "And Mary Connell for attempted murder and as an accessory." "That was insane!" "Mitch, blow that up." "Mitch." "Oh, sorry Mike." "I was just looking at pictures of my new car." "Congratulations." " You can't afford a $100,000 car?" " Well, my aunt died." "She left me some money." "Must've been a lot." "It was." " Back to video for me." " Okay." "Freeze that." "Punch in on their hands." "Is Danny taking something from Mary or is Mary taking something from Danny?" "It's impossible to tell from this angle." "Looks like Danny wrote something on a piece of paper and handed it to her." "Wait... back that up." "Right there." "Stop." "What?" "In the back of the SUV there's two people." "Punch in on that." "It's a hooker and her john." "Can you bring them into focus?" "Not enough to video IQ." "The cell phone video quality really sucks." "So there where at least two witnesses to the shooting." "You know Mike, if we don't tell the police about it, we're accessories to murder." "Listen up!" "Excuse me!" "Could I please have everyone's attention." "I'm about to do something no man has never seen before." "I'm going to come clean!" "Now, you know how I always say." "It doesn't matter how much you lose, I always want you to win." "That's a lie you are the truth I always want you to lose." "Period." " Whoo!" "That felt good." " You think we don't know you want us to lose?" " Oh, you already knew?" " Your not that good of an actor, Sam." "Better you taking my money than my ex-wife." "I have a fun little idea." "I think you all are going to enjoy this, so please come this way." "Why not invest your money in the Montecito, instead of gamgling it all the way?" "Gentleman... uh, Ladies..." "Stake, investment, cash flow." " I will personally guarantee that..." " Where is Ed in all of this?" " Ed is out." "It's just gonna be us." " Then who gets his office?" "Well, the office..." "Well, it's clear who'll get the office but there are many other..." "You do realize... that we won't be able to gamble at the Montecito if we own this place." "Is that true Sam?" "Well, it is kind of a law, but..." "Then where we'll play?" "Well, you'll play at all of the other casinos in Vegas." "But I don't want to play at any other casinos in Vegas." " Sure you do." "The Montecito's my favourite place to play." "Mine too." " Good, but..." " Sorry Sam, no deal." "The other casinos are also your favorite." "Keith... everyone just leaves?" "What, no, ex..." "Keith!" "What do you mean no deal?" "The Montecito isn't as great as you think it is." "There's a hole in the 37th floor!" "That went well." "Mr. Cooper?" "Just Cooper." "Oh, thank God..." "I haven't seen another soul for 60 miles." "I have the papers here for you to sign." "And here." "Initial here." " And there." " Sorry... all right." "Congratulations." "You are now the new owner of the Montecito Resort and Casino." "You would happen to know where there's a bathroom around here?" "Mr. Cooper?" "Mr. Cooper?" " You've been working all night?" " Uh... huh." " You should go home and get some sleep." " I'm fine." " You wanted to talk to me?" " Yeah, so... what's the deal with Mary?" "I don't know." "What's Danny saying?" " Nothing." " She's not coming back, is she?" "I don't think she's ever coming back." "I'm actual gonna miss her perky little attitude." "Those platitudes are like your morning coffee." " You killed Vince Peterson, didn't you?" " Uh-uh..." " You okay with that?" " Yeah." "Let's keep this between us, okay?" "This is insane!" "Word, man!" "Let's get out of here." "The trajectory is all wrong." "There's no way Danny could've hit him with a kill shot to the heart, from this position." "Who's the third gunman?" "Mitch pull a playback from the night we were robbed." "New threads?" "Pretty snappy, huh?" "Uh, reflective, absolutely snappy?" "I don't...." " It's the most expensive suit in Vegas." " Shiny ain't cheap." "Anything specific you'd like me to pull up from the playback?" "Yeah, the rear of the Montecito as that black BMW pulls up." "It's the same car." "Here's a novel idea, try to knocking." "This is a nice office." "What do you want?" "Your boy Danny McCoy's going down." "Mary Connell too." "Premeditated murder." "They'ra both looking at the death penalty." "Nice shooting the other night." " Neck shot, right between the body armor." " Got lucky." "Yeah..." "Get out of my office." "Yeah, this is Dylan." "I knew she couldn't keep a secret." "What are you talking about?" "Don't play dumb with me." "Although you're very good at it." "I have no idea who..." "Delinda..." "Delinda's what I'm talking..." "You know exactly what I'm talking about." "She didn't tell you?" "Tell me what?" "Nothing." " What?" " I'm sorry..." "What did you want to talk about?" "You want to know if you shold marry the girl because you knocked her up?" "Absolutely..." "No, that's not what I was gonna ask you." "Somebody paid the back taxes on the Montecito." "We have a new owner." " What?" " Yeah." "Yeah." "I have to get back to work...." " Hey Sam, you okay?" " Yeah, I'm fine!" " You okay Sam?" " I'm fine!" "Why does everyone keep asking me that?" "What happened?" "I..." "I told her that somebody paid the back taxes on the Montecito and that we have a new owner." "Who?" "I don't know." "What did Sam tell you?" "About what?" "Well, she said that she knew you couldn't keep a secret." "I have no idea what she's talking about." "Well, I guess she's probably a little stressed about the whole, you know..." " Episode on the plane." " She'll be fine." "We're talking about Sam here and nothing ever bothers her." "Listen, um..." "About the whole Mary thing." " Yeah, Delinda..." " I don't wanna know." "I don't wanna know." "Oh, God." " Puke breath." " No, it's..." "It's..." " I'm gonna go brush." " It's okay." "No..." "I'll see you later." "Look like the marine's taking the fall for the dame." " Did you step out of a pulp novel or something?" " You're off the hook, McCoy." "I just got off the phone with the CSI." "The angle of the bullet, there had to have been a third gunman on the scene." "Who was it, McCoy?" "I don't know." "You tell me, Detective." "I also revisited the cell phone video." "There was a black BMW at the scene." "CSI figures it belonged to the third gunman." "Who do you know that drives a black BMW?" "Yeah, I wonder if I checked the Montecito surveillance footage, if a black BMW would turn up." "Excuse me one second." "Yep." " Danny, get up here now." " All right." "Well, I'd love to stick around and chat, Detective, but I have to run." "Yeah, Dylan here." "Get me the FBI ballistics on the slugs from the Montecito shootings." "No, no..." "Just the two guys Deline took down the night of the robbery." "Let's just call it a hunch." "Ed, you wanted to see me." "Yeah." "Sit down, will you?" "Uh, I am sitting." "Uh..." "I'm sorry." " Nice suit." " Thanks." "I heard you bought a new car." "I did, it's unbelievable." " Do you want to see a photo?" " I, um..." "I'm just curious as to where you got 100.000 to buy a new car." "My aunt died, and she left me a couple hundred grand." "Her only stipulation was that I spend it frivolously." "Which I'm doing." "Oh, you..." "You don't think I had something to do with the robbery, do you?" "No, no..." "Not at all." "I was just concerned that you uh..." "You know, might be overextending yourself." "That's all." "Oh, no." "Hey, how about I take a test drive on that new car of yours?" "Are you kidding?" "There's no way I'm letting you drive my car." "Yeah?" "Hey Ed, I got that local on that spending spree you were looking for." "He says he came into big money recently." "Bought a couple of jet skis, a boat, and throwing a lot of cash around at a local strip joint." "Got a name?" " Buck Terry." " Where's he at?" " He's at the Diamond Cabaret on the Strip." " Ah ok, Thanks." "I'm lookin' for Buck Terry." "Uh, let me buy your drink here." "Uh..." "I gotta go!" " I didn't do anything!" " Why were you running?" "Because I saw you looking for me." "But I don't know you, which means you must know me." "No, no!" "Ahhh!" "Where's my money?" "I don't have any idea what you're talking about." "Noooooo!" "Ahhh!" "Now that's just a little taste compared to the pain I'm gonna put on your ass." "If you don't start talking I'm gonna hook this up to your nuts and I'm gonna fry 'em like prairie oysters." "Wasn't my idea." " Whose was it?" " One of the guy you shot outside the Montecito." " You're lying." " Noooooooooo." "I never knew his name!" "I didn't even know the other three guys." "It was all compartimentalized and sophisticated." "It can't be too sophisticated because you're dumb as a gerbil." "I swear!" "That's all I know." " I know you have a name." " No I swear." "Please, don't make me zap you again, alright?" "Ok, yeah..." "NO!" "Now I remember." "I remember." "There's..." "A guy, somebody said the name Tommy." " Tommy?" " Big boss at the Montecito." "All right." "Okay." "So we're cool." "Call the FBI." "Tell them you got the guy that robbed the Montecito." "There's a big reward on it." " Gimme your phone." "Got you a phone?" " Yeah yeah." "He-hey!" "Erica, I need more coffee, please." "You're gonna have to pee like a race horse if you keep this up, Sam." "Erica, could you get me some more coffee, please?" "They're your kidneys." "Hello Sam." "It's Erica, get me Danny." "Our surveillance video totally incriminates Ed." "Police wants to turn over all Montecito footage from the night of the shooting." "There was an explosion and a fire at the Montecito that night." " Looks that we lost all that footage." " What about the backup?" "Looks like we lost the backup too." "There were two witnesses on an SUV at the scene, Danny." "You're gonna erase 'em too?" "Danny, Erica just called from Opus." "There's some kind of problem with Sam." " She says you'd better get down there." " Alright." "Shannon, pull up Opus and find Sam." "Sam, you okay?" "He's not dead." " Who?" " Vince Peterson, he's here." " Sam, he's dead, he can't hurt you anymore." " No, I've been seeing him everywhere." "Listen, I think you just need to go get some sleep..." "I don't want to get some sleep." "I'm gonna stay with you tonight, okay?" "Ok?" "Ok." "Shannon." "Pull on the cellphone viedo footage of the shooting outside the bar." "Freeze it on the hooker on the back of the SUV." "Mitch, video IQ the woman in the SUV." "Then overlay it with this woman at Opus." "Same woman." "What's she doing here?" "Excuse me." " Yeah, can I help you?" " Actually I can help you..." "Avoid prison." "Um, sorry." "I don't follow you." "Parking lot of the Desert Town Tavern a couple of nights ago?" "Yeah." "A man was murdered." "I was there and I saw the shooter." "Yeah." "He was in a black BMW and he looked just like you." " What do you want?" " A hundred grand." " Or?" " Or I go to the police." "All right then." "Ed." "Ed, hey." "I know that you killed Mary's father." "How did you know that?" "Because I didn't." "But this cop is not gonna stop until somebody is behind the bars." "There were two witnesses at the scene." "9-1-1." "What's your emergency?" "I'd like to report you a murder." "Listen about..." "I'll take care of this." "I'll disappear, and if I'm gone." "They'll stop looking." " Ed, how's it going?" " Good, Tommy, good." " Last day, uh?" " Yeah, yeah." " Where..." "Where are you going again?" " The Wynn." " Steve asked for me personally." " Nice." "Listen, let's you and I have a cup of coffee, uh?" "Sorry, Ed." "I can't do that." "Oh, I really think you should, Tommy." "Why did you do this, Tommy?" "Nobody was supposed to get hurt, Ed." "Back off, Ed." "I don't wanna have to kill you, but I will." "Why?" "20 years on the job, Ed, watching everybody else win." "Figured it was my turn to win." "You're not gonna get out of the building." "Oh, yeah, I will with you leading the way." "Now move." "I was just going over the FBI's ballistics report." "Turns out that the bullet that killed Frank Connell, matches the bullets on the two guys that robbed the Casino." "The two guys Deline shot." "Where's Deline?" "Dylan." "Mike, I think you'd better take a look at this." "What's that in his hand?" "I think it's a gun." "Mitch, get me Danny now." "Looks like we've got a witness that puts Deline on the scene of the crime on a black BMW." "She says she saw Deline pull the trigger." "Now, here's the great part, McCoy." "She's here." "At the Montecito, right now." "And the judge just issued to murder one for Ed Deline." " And you'll testify to that?" " It will be my pleasure." "Why isn't Danny answering his phone?" "Because he can't." "Open it nice and slowly, Ed." "Danny, they need you." "Ed's in the grand concourse." "Thank you." " Why did you... ?" " Wait, wait, Danny, listen." "Ed is in back house XXX with Tommy." "Tommy's got a gun." " What?" " Yeah, I think Tommy has something to do with the robbery." "Listen, I'll stop the cops." "You go get in, okay?" "Three people are dead because of you." "Ed..." "Ed!" "Hey." "I don't want my kid to have to visit his grandpa in jail." "His?" "You know it's a boy?" "Wishful thinking." "I always wanted a son." "The police have a witness, and a warrant for your arrest." "McCoy!" "Where's Deline?" " Uh..." "He was here just a second..." " Don't play games with me McCoy, where is he?" "I don't know." "Hey, this came for you." "No postmark, no return address." "White picket fence, huh?" "That's a nice white picket fence you got outside." "Just like you always wanted." "Thanks." "You know I heard they still aren't found Mary's gun." "Yeah, I know." " Have a goodnight." " See you later." "Thanks." "Hey, Dee." "Hey, am I late?" "Almost." " Any idea who the new owner is?" " Nope." " Any idea what he looks like?" " Woo." "Who say that it's a he?" " I don't know, I just think..." " Yeah, here's what you get for thinking." "You still wanna love me when I'm fat?" "Baby, there's just more of you to love." "Oh, come on, this gonna make me puke." "Please don't say puke." "Thank you, sir." "He'd just write a check like he was at market." "Bought a couple gallons of milk and a loaf of bread." "Except for the check was for $241 million and change." "You know, I don't even mind losing to a guy like that." "A big move like that takes a set of balls." "I mean, who the hell is this guy anyway?" "work the back 40 in the morning, buy casino in the afternoon?" "You know, this whole "wild west thing"..." "I mean, what is that?" "Can't help but be a little intrigued." "Hell, for all I know, we're all getting fired." "Where's your beard?" "Shouldn't you have a beard?" "Uh, I suppose Freud had a goatee, if that's what you're referring to, but.. i'm not a Freudian." "You said you came here to talk about something that happened on a plane." "Do you have any questions for me?" "Do you want me to have questions for you?" "How about if I just tell you what I wanna tell you?" "And we get it over with?" "How do you feel about that?" "I don't feel comfortable talking about my feelings." "Hey." "Are you worried about your parents?" "Aren't you?" "Look, if anybody can take care of himself, it's Ed Deline." "Am I gonna miss him?" "Yes." "Am I worried about him?" "No way." "Hello." "Are you sure we're not gonna hurt the baby?" "The doctor says with a normal pregnancy we can keep doing it right up until my water breaks." "Oh, so we can do this for, like, another eight months." "Wow, they're growing." " What?" " The twins, they're getting bigger." "Of cours they're getting bigger." "And this is only the beginning." "So, is this permanent?" " You don't like it?" " I love it." "Them..." "You." "You, I love you." "this "becoming-a-dad thing" is gonna come with some perks I didn't know about." "They're definitely getting bigger." "It's almost a given that a woman's breasts increase in both fullness and roundess, especially in their first pregnancy." "Did you know that a drop of breast milk in the baby's eyes cures congiuntivitis?" "No, no." "How do you know so much about this?" "How does Mike Cannon know everything?" "He just knows, doesn't he?" "We got a guy on a little streak of blank check on 23." " How long's been Cooper standing there?" " That was 2 hours." "What's he doing." "Just thinking?" " Yeah, thinking about firing our asses." " No, we do a great job." " Yeah, but he doesn't know that." " I'm sure I told him." "What's his story anyway?" "A.J. Cooper owns the largest working cattle ranch in Wyoming." "He's a rancher..." "He was married." "We don't know what happened to her, there's no record of a divorce." "Really?" "And there's no known children." "There's a four-year gap where he pretty much disappears from all public records" "Then it picks up again." "Oh, wait, you're gonna love this:" "Marine Corp Veteran." " Net worth somewhere north of two billion." " Marine, uh?" " Big job lines up nicely for you when you say it." " What are you saying?" "Uh, president of operations." "There's a sudden vacancy, or haven't you noticed?" "Ed's not coming back this time, is he?" "No." "So, Ed Deline left?" "And your friend Mary disappeared after shooting her father?" "Allegedly." "And... and Julianne Deline, that's Ed's wife, she left with him." "And what does this have to do with what happened on the plane?" "Nothing!" " Mike, you might want to come in here." " Why?" "You've been watching me on this thing." "Pretty much all day." "Mike Cannon, surveilance and security." "Nice to meet you, sir." " Cooper." " Uh, Mr. Cooper." "Just Cooper." " Super." " How many cameras we got in the hotel?" "5230." " How close can you get?" " Punch in, Shannon." "That's very impressive." "Why are you watching this guy?" "Uh, he's exhibiting some unusual betting patterns." "He might be a card-counter." "Counting car isn't illegal, is it?" "No, but..." "It's just an advantage a player creates by perfecting a skill." "True, but if we let card-counters play in the casino every day, the advantage could completely shift from the house to the players." "We'd be out of business inside of a month." "Let him play." "See you at the meeting." "Looking forward to it." "What meeting?" " Hey." " Thank you." " I'm never gonna get this place re-opened." " No, no, no, no." "It's starting to look good." "Hold on one sec." "Danny McCoy." " Cooper was here." " In surveillance?" " What's he like?" " Hard to say." "But he set up some kind of meeting." "Oh, mmm, well, nobody told me about a meeting." "What meeting?" " That's what I said." " Okay, alright." "Good." "What do you want?" "I just wanted to tell you that I love you." "And to see if they got any bigger." "Since breakfast?" "I'll make an omelette." "With my last nickel!" "My last nickel!" "can you believe that?" "How much did you win?" "It says 400,000 nickels." "How much is that?" "$20,000." "Ha ha!" "That's something, ain't it?" "Can you believe that?" "My last five cents!" "Yeah." "I guess it's true what they say." "Anything can happen!" "Yeah, boy!" "So then we all get these mysterious text messages." " The meeting." " The meeting" "Hello." "I'm A.J. Cooper, and I just bought the place." "Mostly, I like what I see and I'm not the kind of guy to make changes just... for the sake of change." "But... it is no secret that recently... business is off 20%." "So, that said, some of you will stay and some of you will go." "I will try to make my decisions as quickly as possible... to give those who are leaving some leave time to line up a new job." " We're all toast." " I feel it." " Hey Mike." " Hey Mr. Cooper." "Uh, Cooper!" "Such a kiss ass." "Let's have some fun." "Close all the exterior doors." "Nobody in or out." " Mr. Cooper, Danny McCoy." "Surveillance and security." " You work for Mike?" "Fire regulations expressly forbid us from closing all the exists..." "Well, it'll only be for a minute." "Organize these people here and have them give everyone on the casino floor.." "$1,000." " That's gotta be $2 million." " More like 3." "Anything can happen, Danny." "Gia'." "Let's, uh, go waste some money." "Anything can happen." "We're just gonna hand out some money here." "No strings attached, 1,000 a person." "Why, Dr. Steve, do you want there to be strings?" "Didn't you say you spoke to a friend about coming here?" "Yeah." "Delinda." "Delinda Deline." "Town-and-country hot blond?" "Also got put in a box?" "Got buried alive in a coffin?" "Nothing?" "Oh, you have that whole... patient-confidentiality thing." "I have that with my client." " What?" " What?" " Did you see Vince Peterson again?" " No!" "I didn't see Vince Peterson again." "I just can't sleep." "Food doesn't taste good to me." " ... myself right now." " You think?" "You pushed a guy out of a plane at 15,000 feet, Sam." "You killed a man on that plane." "What do you think, I came here 'cause I'm afraid to fly?" "Yeah, it was pretty satisfying actually." "Talk about closure." "I just wish I could've seen him hit the ground." "Listen..." "I know you pride yourself of being tough and self-sufficient." "but this isn't something that you can handle alone." "I kinda wish Mary was still here." "She would cry for me." "It'd be great." "You have to see someone." " You know, I think shrinks are ridiculous." " No!" "Listen to me." "Listen." "I spent two days in a coffin." "It doesn't just go away." " Ever heard of PTSD?" " You know I always use condoms." " Post-traumatic stress disorder." " I don't have time for that crap!" "We have a new owner." "And he might just blow our asses out of the water." "I have to get back to work.." "Is it a whale for a million-million five." "I'be right his ray." "Steve Levin." " M.D. and P.h.D..." " Promise that you'll go." " At least he's a real doctor." " Promise." "Alright, i'lll go..." "I'll go once." "Your boobs are huge." "You think this guy's a little crazy?" "Who, Cooper?" "Yeah." "I think he just wants to see what we're made of." "Uh, I just hope he's not another Monica." "What does Sam always say?" "Rich people aren't crazy..." " Just eccentric?" " Right." "Hey, congratulations, dad!" "Hey, thank you, Patrick." "Guess what we got here?" "What's this?" "Plane tickets?" "Where are you going?" " We!" "Where are WE going." "Las Vegas is very..." " Oh, right!" "... UCLA Bruins in L.A. Remember that?" "... trip." "I forgot." "I got a lot on my mind, you know..." "Uncle Mike understands, papa bear." "He's got it all under control." "You've been talking a lot about your co-workers." " So?" " So, it's a defense mechanism." "Talking about your colleagues is ordinarily a way to avoid talking about yourself." "Okay Dr. , you wanna spare me the freshman year seminar?" "I'll get to it." " He's still winning." " Is he a local?" "Unlikely." "He's got a room here." "People don't usually count cards in the hotel they stay in." "Dr. Eric Haber from Kansas City, cancer specialist." " He's here for the oncology convention." " How much is he at?" "140,000." "See how far back he pushes his chair, and he's sorta leaning back?" "Maybe he's catching the dealer's hole card." "Mike, I don't think he's cheating." "But I do think he's counting cards." "Well, then, I need another reason to throw this guy out." "Find one." "Excuse me." " Hold on to this, you might have a surprise." " Thanks." "Excuse me?" "Hold on to this." "You might have a surprise." "Thank you." "You okay?" "I'm fine." "Hey, if you ever need to talk about anything..." "Yeah, yeah, I'll tell Delinda and she can tell you." "Your co-wokers still care about you." " So what?" " So it's important to have a solid support system in trying times." "Please Dr. Steve, I'm trying to tell a story." "Excuse me, hold on to this." "You might have a surprise." " What do you think he's up to now?" " I don't know." "Oh come on, don't tell me that you and Mike don't have about 200 cameras watching his every move." " We don't." " You know, if that was me up in the surveillance room, after he's left the men's room, I'd be at a table with the man having breakfast." "I'm still trying to figure out how I should approach it." "Just be honest with him." "Well, introduce yourself." ""I am Sam Marquez." "My turn-ons are rich people, my turns-off are poor people."" "Okay, well, laugh all you want you genius, but there's a new sheriff in town and there's big Ed... interference." "By the way... the odds are running ten to one against you." "Do you really think that we could get fired?" "There's no "we" here." "I mean, not me." "I bring money into this place." "You however fall squarely on the debt side of the ledger." "By the way, if you want Ed's job, you gonna have to step up a notch." "Who says that I want Ed's job?" "Oh, okay." "You wanna play it that way?" "Okay." " Good luck." " Thanks!" "You know how you give away an aston martin every time someone hits a jackpot down there?" " Yeah." " Well, I was thinking that you could give away 15 trucks for the price of a sports car." "Mike!" "You might wanna move over just a little to your left." "Okay." "Anything can happen." "Anything can happen." "Shuffle up." "It's a new shoe." "Just go ahead and shuffle up." "Dr. Haber." "So... yes?" "Mike Cannon, Montecito surveillance and security." " Something wrong?" " Maybe you can tell me." "All I can say is I'm on the luckiest streak of my life." " Continue good luck here." " Thank you." " Hey Danny!" " Girl or boy?" " I don't know yet." " How's Delinda, she's still...?" " Yeah, yeah." "Still pretty much projectile." " You'll be a great dad!" "Thank you!" "Hey, do you know what you'll have?" "No, not yet." "Good." "Keep it "old school"." "Kid pops out, this is surprise." "Yeah, maybe we'll try that." "Trick is... you gotta pick a name that is good for either sex." "Thank you, Francis." "Think about it." "Uh?" "It will." "Ok." " Sharon thinks I'm gettin' a hang of it." " He's not bad." "His name is Eric Haber." "He's an oncologist from the Midwest." "Looks like he's winning the bundle." "Good for him." "You think he's cheating." "How do you know?" "I guess he's kinda like riding a horse." "You gotta get a feel for it." " Exactly." " Yeah, but you've ridden the horse wrong... odds are you'll end up getting thrown." "Thank you, Obi Wan." "Why you're telling everyone I'm pregnant?" "This whole place's already knows." "Not everybody is interested in our business as you think." "It's a great news, Delinda, people are happy for us." "Most couples wait at least..., three months." "Thank you." "Thank you." "You know as well I that keeping a secret in this place is like a ninth-grade summer school." "Page 153." "Have you informed human resources that we are having a sexual relationship?" "Oh, come on, Dee." "Did you know that failure to do so is ground for dismissal?" "We were together for almost a year." "And my father would have ripped off page 153 and tossed it in the trash." "I'm not kidding." "We have to figure out the proper way to handle this." "I mean, what's the new owner gonna say?" "Congratulations." "They only make the best burgers here." "Oh." "Mr. Cooper." "Hi, I'm Sam Maquez." "Hello." " It's just Cooper." " Cooper." "I-I know you're new to the casino business, but listen" "I also know that a man doesn't go from a cattle ranch to a series of spectacular profitable leverage but learn a thing or two." "Am I right?" "Clear you're not a man who is risk-averse." "Do you know who I am?" "I am sure you've heard of me." "... host of Las Vegas for the past four years now and I used to own this place." "It was just for a week, but" "I assure you I'm not one who would rest on my laurels." "You know what I mean, listen I have really great idea that I'd like you to hear about." "I have a new marketing plan for casino services designed to double our net income from... and gaming within six months." "I-I'm not sure if you aware of the fact that I was your competition." "I put together a little group of whales in the LLC." "that fell apart at the 11th hour." "That happens sometimes." "I mean, it doesn't usually happen to me, but..." "I got tied up." "I think we'll just table marketing plan for right now, we can always talk about it later." "I'm sure you have about hundred people bending your ear all the time." "Wow, you're "Anything can happen campaign", that's really genious." "So..." "It was really nice to meet you." "I'll just be walkin' around the casino, if you need me for anything." "Sam Marquez." " And how that you feel that?" " Uuh... when?" " After you were snubbed." " Snubbed?" "The guy loved me." "Anyway." "Remember how I told you that everyone's really excited about Danny and Delinda's baby?" " Hey!" " Hey." " Two hundred on "boy", you got it?" " Good luck, bro'." " Thank." "Just everything else on the Montecito there's always more to it." "Give me a hundred on "girl"." "... over seven pounds." "Please, just think about it." "Ok, I owe you a big." "Alright--okay, thank you." "It's the fire marshall." "They heard about uslocking the doors." "Yeah, Bob Casey." "He just told me..." "They're considering a surprise inspection and maybe even shut us down." " Wasn't he a friend of your dad's?" " Yeah, they went to junior high together." "Don't be so sure." "You know what this is?" "Your baby is a third of an inch long." "That's your baby." "You just ate your baby." " This all thing isn't real to you, isn't it?" " This baby isn't born until next year, come on." "Ah." "Okay, okay, Danny." "Week seven: almost formed." "Fingers start to develop." " See this tiny notches?" " Mmm." "Eyes, ears, and nose start to appear here." "Over here, intestines." "I bet you didn't know that initially intestines start to form in the umbilical cord and not inside your baby's body." "So meanwhile, we all get called to Cooper's new office for some secret meeting." "In anticipation... of making a few key personell decisions, uh, I thought I'd... clarify a few things." "Sam." "Let's see." "You were kidnapped, locked in a trunk, then shuttled onto a jet which the kidnapper... flew out of... at fifteen-thousand feet." " Are you Delinda?" " Delinda Deline." "Hi!" "Hi." "Former boss's daughter, spent some time in a coffin, and you're having Danny's baby." "It is, Danny, right?" " Yeah." "Danny." " Danny's baby." "But Danny, who was recently arrested on suspicion of murder, used to be engaged to another girl who worked here until a few days ago" " and now she's a fugitive." " Right." "Because she's accused of killing her father." " What about you, Mike?" " Uh, well I guess..." "I'm the normal one." "So by this time we're all completly convinced we're getting fired." "And if you ask me how I feel about that, I'm gonna sprint across the room and strangle you." " How's going?" " Pretty darn great." "You winning?" "You can say that." " Where're you from?" " Wyoming, you?" "Kansas city." " What do you do?" " I'm an oncologist." "I guess when you deal with life and death all day gambling isn't all that stressful." "I'll remember that." " How about you?" " I just bought the place." " You're the owner of the Montecito?" " I am." "Guess we both are lucky." "You know that old expression, "better lucky than good", well..." "I always felt that should be the other way around." " You think I'm counting cards." " Are you?" "Are you gonna throw me out?" "Based on what I heard a few minutes ago you will ask thrown out of here." "I'd say "good luck", but "keep the good work"... might be more appropriate." "Nice meetin' you, Doc." "Nice to meeting you." "Are you crazy man who buyed the hotel?" "I guess I am." "I'm Cooper." "Ooooh, you bite the cuticles." "Well, I actually have been doing a little work outdoors." "No matter." "I give you a mani-pedi and we talking." "I have a million great idea for you." "Wow!" "You big cow-boy!" "Mike!" "Oh... fudge." "Hands are like a field of the corn." "Look like a Iowa." "If you build it, I will come." " How long you work to, Polly?" " Seven year." "Long enough to see lot of hot young girls turn into stinky old skank." "You know coming like a fresh young flower." "Now so stretched out down there like throwing hot-dog down the hallway, you know?" "Vegas chew you up and spit you out like." "Thank you for sharing." " I got a question for you." " Okay, you ask." "What do you think of my "anything can happen" campaign?" "Oh, I think it very smart." "You know, I think you like to keep people off-balance." "And plus I think the montecito need a big makeover." "Like..." "Rosie O'Donnell." "Hey, Mike." "So that..." "A.J. Cooper is quite a guy." "So he's impressed you too." "You're dying to bounce me, but he won't let you, will he?" "Fresh cards, coming in." "You know guys, I can count the new ones same as the old." " Hey, Danny." " Hey, what's this?" "Lamaze's classes are saturdays in pink and the parenting classes are sundays in blue." "Classes?" "I thought that we'd just wing." "Nobody just wings anymore, Danny." "Parenting is a serious responsibility." "Oh, wait a minute, this is the weekend Mike and I are going to la for the univ game." "But that's a pink and a blue." " You gotta cancel." " But, i..." "I'll have this baby and you'll cancel." "He's up over a million." "What about his patterns?" "In the 20 minutes after you switched the cards, he lost almost 200k." "Since the second time through the shoe though, he's won almost 80% of the hands." "Why would a card-counter do better after the shufflle, it doesn't matter." "Unless he's not counting, as he's marking." "What?" "These are the cards that we switched out from haber's table." "Lay them out and look them over." "I'm going to do a little research on the good doctor." " There's a hole in my hotel." " Yeah." "I understand you knew the bomber." "Uh, Jason Scott." "He was a comrade marine, and yes, he was a friend." "A friend with a bomb. a bomb you didn't know anything about." "He made it from items he bought at the hardware store." "He was upset, but there's no way I could've known." "You're surveillance and security, you're paid to know." "I was helping a friend." "I reported it, I take full responsibility, but..." "Given the circumstances and what I knew at the time, I would do it again." "i'm thinking about a bowling alley." " Here?" " Why does that surprise you Danny?" "I'm looking for people who think a little differently." "how do you think... got to Las Vegas?" "On a cow?" "You're still mad about the basketball trip?" "We can't just do whatever we want whenever we want anymore Danny." "I already told Mike that i'm not gonna go." "What're you doing?" "Looking over some of your dad's old marketing plans." "You're not in my father's shadow anymore, baby." " You gotta be your own man." " Hey, I am my own man." "Alright?" "With my own ideas." "From the internet!" "Internet?" "A.J. cooper doesn't want a bunch of stiff ideas Danny. everything he's done so far from..." "Giving away money to driving cars through the casino to building a bowling alley on the 37th floor, he wants people to have fun!" " He knows the money will follow." " I just can't afford to take too many chances right now." "I have a family to support." " You know why I love you Danny Mc Coy?" " Why?" "Cause you're smart, and you're strong, and you're not afraid to make a goofball out of yourself." "It's gotta be fun." "Come on." " To the "p", to the "h", to the "u", to the "n"." " Come On, get on your goofy foot come on baby." " Are you you with me?" " Yeah yeah." "Make the money for the family." "That's right." " We're gonna take the trip." " Where are we going?" "We're going to funland, we're going to the land of fun." "That's right!" "Going to funland." "Looking them bounce, looking them bounce!" "Baby on board!" "oh, oh, I got it, I got it." "i got it, I got an idea." "Ok, i'll be back late, don't wait up." "You okay?" " You go baby." " Okay." "Going to have fun baby." "So, while the ridiculous white-people dancing are providing an inspiration," "Danny rushes back to the Montecito to implement his brilliant plan." "Hey!" " Montgomery gentry!" " That's right." " You got 'em?" " Yeah." " Did you do all this?" " Yeah." "That was me." " What the hell is it?" " It's a... suitcase party." "Everybody packs one suitcase and at the end of the night we draw one ticket and the winner goes straight from the dancefloor..." "All the way to paris on the Montecito jet." "Wow." "Yeah, I know." "But don't people usually come to Vegas because they actually want to be in Vegas?" "Shut up." " Anything can happen, Sam." " Okay..." "Hate her..." "Good luck." "Meanwhile, Mike still won't give up on the case of the card-candy doctor." "There's nothing on these cards." "They're clean." "Listen to this." "Haber gave a speech at an oncology simposium in florence last year on technetium labeled sulfur colloid." "Sounds riveting." "Well, it's a proper radioactive die used in cancer procedures." "It's invisible, unless it's viewed through a special lens." "Okay, alright, it's uh..." "it's almost midnight." "Thank you guys so much, i owe you big time." "Hey brother, just remember the deal, you have to name the baby after tee-roll." " Yeah." " What if it's a girl?" " Troylee?" " No." "Hey!" "Are you ready." "Okay, here we go, here we go." "And the lucky number is... 09560!" "Come on up!" "Come on up!" "They're going to Paris!" "And we're not talking about Paris, Tennessee, you know?" "Everybody raise their glasses..." "Bon voyage!" "Alright!" " 20 on boy, six in advance." " Thanks." "Hadn't you seen this yet?" "Seems that everybody is more interested in this baby than danny." "He told me you wanted him to cancel his basketball trip." "And you think that's wrong?" "I think uncle Mike just needs to help dad put some priorities in perspective." "It just feels like he's not gonna take this babybseriously, Mike." "'Cause it's not real to him yet." "And it may not be until the baby is born." "And he wasn't close to his own dad." "Do you think he's worried he won't be a good father himself?" "Not for a second." "Maybe you guys should go on that trip." " Yeah." " Yeah, maybe." "He's not counting cards." " How do you know?" " Because you don't need to count cards when you already know what the cards are." "he's got a die, a radioactive die on his fingers, and everytime he sees a card, he marks the back, eventually he marked every card in a six-deck shoe." "He knows what the dealer's hole card is in every hand." "But how does he see the markage?" "He keeps rubbing his eyes every few minutes, right?" "Maybe he's tired, maybe his contact lenses are bothering him." "He's wearing contact lenses, but according to the missouri driving license bureau his eyesight is perfect." "This just arrived this morning." "Shannon, freeze it." "This is the same coating as haber's lenses." "This is what he sees." "You've been up all night figuring this out." "That's the job, Cooper." "I'll call... and have them pick up haber." "and gaming control, they're gonna wanna see this." "Hang on a second." "So, instead of turning the doctor over to the cops." "Cooper steps behind the felt." "substitutes a new deck of unmarked cards, and starts dealing." " What's... what's going on." " Sit down doc." "Okay, a.j." "Make a bet." "I'll make a bet." "I'll make a bet." "More." "Okay." "Don't touch the cards." "Oh, you gotta hit that." "Make another bet." "from what we can tell... it doesn't appear you have done that before at any other casino," "why did you hit that?" "I know from experience that sometimes good people can lose their way." "I wanna believe that that's what happened here." "Now, if I send you to prison, you wouldn't be much good to anybody, on the other hand, i can't let you walk away with one million dollars of my money." "so, we're going to keep playing until you lose it all back, every dollar." "And you're never gonna come back to this city." "You understand?" "I understand." "Go back to kansas city." "Save some lives." "So, that was it." "Another day at the Montecito." "Didn't you say something about everybody losing their jobs?" "Yeah." "a lot of people say tall men who are also very handsome..." " is a stupid." " I hadn't heard that." "Oh, yeah, very common, but not you." "Thank you, Polly." "I like how your mind work." "Really?" "Anything can happen?" "Very good test." "See how worker react to unpredictable situations." "I guess in a way it was a test." "Oh, fingernail look better already." "I'm thinking about keeping all the department heads." "What do you think?" "Oh, they're all crazy, but nice." "And mostly, hard workers." "But you no fire." "Don't tell anybody." "Your secret is safe with me." "I put in a vault." "so, this beautician is in effect the chief strategist for the new owner of a multi-million dollar resort and casino." "No, she's a manicurist." "and you felt I needed all these back stories so I could put your life in some sort of context?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "I feel like you're really starting to understand me." "That's excellent." "now you're ready to talk about what happened on the plane?" "Time's up."
