"DANNY:" "I was wondering if you heard anything from Greg." "McCOY:" "I haven't seen him in the last few weeks." "He left me a little shorthanded, you know?" "And without a night watchman." "DANNY:" "Did he say anything?" "Did he say he was going anywhere?" "No, he just said he needed to talk to you." "You did call him, right?" "No, I never got ahold of him."

"WALKER:" "Senator Henderson." "HENDERSON:" "I'm just getting..." "I have no idea what you're talking about." "WALKER:" "Then let me enlighten you." "Senator Henderson has something over Big Ed Deline... and maybe he's holding it over his head." "Who headed up the Senate Intelligence Committee while Ed was in the CIA?" "WALKER:" "That's right." "Senator Bill Henderson." "The senator has something on Ed, kid." "That's why Ed's protecting him." "Weren't you leaving town?" "Yeah, I am." "In fact, I got a room just outside the city limits." "[Henderson laughing loudly]" "HENDERSON:" "You're killing me!" "Oh, yeah!" "[Siren wailing]" "Please don't tell me this guy called the cops on me, Luis." "What?" "What is it?" "It's Greg." "[Solemn instrumental music]" "Where'd you find him?" "At the edge of a golf course." "A couple of drunk golfers stumbled on him." " He'd been trying to get ahold of me." " Do you have any idea why?" "He probably needed money again." "I don't know." "How much did he owe this time?" "DANNY:" "If I'd just returned his call sooner." "[Luis exclaims in Spanish]" "You should have told me he was missing." " If I had returned his call, this wouldn't..." " Danny, don't go down that road." "DANNY: [Voiceover] Luis is right." "We all tried to help Greg at one time or another." "Mary, me, my dad, even Luis." "You and I both know there's only a handful of people in town... who loan money to gamblers." "Only two would do something like this." "Tyler O'Riley or Johnny Stones." "You stay out of this, Danny." "DANNY:" "He was my friend." "LUIS:" "Was your friend." "He stopped being everybody's friend when he couldn't control his gambling." "LUIS:" "Just let the police handle this, Danny." "Danny." "[Speaks in Spanish]" "DANNY: [Voiceover] Greg was to join the Marines with me... but bailed at the last minute." "Went to work for my father instead." "I guess you could say in the job I was supposed to have." "And I guess you could say that makes him a better son to my father than I ever was." "[Footsteps running]" "Is it true?" "Come on." "Hey."

" Listen to me." "You're not a cop." "You're not in the Corps." "You gotta let the police handle it." "Just please trust me." "Eddie, the new King Arthur show is totally sold out." " Hi." " Hi, honey." "JILLIAN:" "Hi, Danny." "DANNY:" "Hi, Mrs. Deline." "Tickets went on sale three hours ago, and it's sold out." "That's good." "Isn't it?" "The man just ran through the middle of a crowded casino... in full battle array yelling, "to arms," with a sword in his hand." "I see why that might be a problem." "Honey, you've gotta get us tickets." "This guy is incredible." "He has an unbelievable actor's resume and..." "He has also an unbelievable mental health resume." "Apparently, you don't wanna be anywhere near him when he's doing Richard III." "Eddie, just get us the tickets." "I can have Mary get you guys some tickets." "JILLIAN:" "Thank you, Danny." "We were..." "[Both chuckle]" "We were wondering if we could get a picture of us and King Arthur... in front of the pyramid, you know, to show the folks back home." "And it'd be really great if we could get his horse in the picture, too." " We could probably work something out." " Thanks, Merlin, thanks." "You, too, Lancelot." "[Stevie laughing]" "SAM:" "Ed." "SAM:" "Senator Henderson wants to see you now." "HENDERSON:" "We need to talk about this problem with the reporter, Ed." "I've taken care of it." "Someone obviously told him where I was." "No, nobody told him where you were." "Then how did he find me?" "He's a reporter." "You come to this town every month, play at the same casino... you go to the same strip club." "You couple that with the amount of time you spend in the media... crusading against the sins of the world, a blind man can find you." "Now, you and your casino assured me of privacy." "Yes, we did." "HENDERSON:" "You better hope this doesn't get out." "'Cause it'd be a shame if anyone was to find out... what happened with that little covert operation of yours." "Yes, it would, Bill." "You were always good at making things go away, Ed." "Make this reporter go away." "I've dealt with every kind of swine there is." "This guy's the biggest pig of all." "Gonna be a long weekend." "Lancelot, I fear no good will come... of Merlin's connection with this evil sorcerer." "You and me both." "Lady Guinevere!" "So everything okay with the senator?" "Yes, it's fine." "Ed, is there something you're not telling me about Senator Henderson?" "You wanted to see me?" "Yes, I did." "Danny got some pretty bad news about a friend of his... and I don't think he should be alone." "Yeah." "No." "Certainly." "Come on." "DANNY: [Voiceover] What's going on here?" "Ed's trying to get rid of me." "Come on." "We'll go somewhere where we can talk." "DELINDA:" "This wasn't exactly what I had in mind." "Greg lived in that trailer." "He was my dad's night watchman." "And we're here because?" "DANNY:" "Because I wanna find out who killed him." "[Tense instrumental music]" "He actually lived here?" "It was free rent." "[Slow instrumental music]" "DELINDA:" "I guess you, Mary, and Greg were pretty tight?" "Yeah, we were." "I should have known he'd go to O'Riley for money." "DELINDA:" "Who's O'Riley?" "DANNY:" "A punkass dirtbag." "DELINDA:" "Can you be more specific?" "He's a last resort for money in a town full of it." "DELINDA:" "You're looking for O'Riley?" "DANNY:" "He's not too hard to find." "DANNY:" "Usually holds court in front of the Monte Carlo." "DELINDA:" "I'm sorry about your friend... but don't you think you should go to the police with this?" " You don't wanna talk about this, do you?" " Not really." " Okay." "Let's talk about something else." " Okay." "Why don't we talk about your father?" "DELINDA:" "My father?" "DANNY:" "Yeah." "Is there anything in his past that might come back to hurt him?" "DELINDA:" "You mean CIA past." "DANNY:" "Yeah." "Well, I could tell you, Danny, but then I'd have to kill you." "It was a joke, Danny." "[Tense instrumental music]" "DELINDA:" "Danny, what's wrong?" "It's Tyler O'Riley." "[Fast-paced instrumental music]" "[People shouting]" "[Women hooting]" "GUARD:" "Hey!"

"Johnny!" "A little help with the bags over here for this beautiful young lady." "Thank you very much." "That's right." "All right." " Hey." " Hey." "MIKE:" "Heard about Greg." "Sorry, man." "DANNY:" "Thanks." "Word's all over you went to town on O'Riley... in the middle of the Strip last night." "It's about time somebody took down that punkass." "DANNY:" "I'll see you." "If there's anything you need, you let me know." "LUIS:" "You okay?" "DANNY:" "Yeah." "Yeah, listen." "I'm sorry about last night, Luis." "[Luis speaks in Spanish]" "I would have done the same thing." "I wanted to let you know, we're searching O'Riley's house right now." "I don't think we're gonna find anything." "All right." "Well, thank you." " Thanks for letting me know." " No problem." "DANNY:" "All right." "See you." "All right, people." "Let's get these cars moving out." "MIKE:" "We got a busy day."

"What can you tell me about him?" "NESSA:" "What do you wanna know?" " He got any secrets?" " Everybody has secrets, Danny." "Any secrets that might get him into trouble?" "Probably." " You're not gonna tell me anything, are you?" " No." "DANNY:" "I didn't think so." "I'm still waiting for you to show me the sights of Vegas, Danny." "DANNY:" "Ed?" "[Door opening and closing]" "[Danny sighs sheepishly]" "This isn't what you think." "This is..." "That screen was there when I walked in." "Why didn't you tell me about your friend Greg's problem, Danny?" "You know, I might have been able to help." "Problems like that aren't supposed to happen to Vegas natives." "They're supposed to know better." "And I guess I thought I was protecting him." "Yeah." "[Sighs]" "[Ed clears throat]" "ED:" "You know, in the early '90s..." "I was in charge of this... covert operation." "We were in somewhere where we didn't belong." "Some bad stuff happened." "Some really bad stuff, Danny."

"He's either in a bathroom or a guest room." "He can't be in a guest room." "I'd have picked him up in the elevator or in the hallway." "Well, he's gotta come out sometime." "We got him."
