Las Vegas s04e02 Episode Script

Died in Plain Sight

Previously on Las Vegas.
You do feel the same way about me, don't you? Yes.
He probably found out Danny and Delinda were sleeping together again.
Is that true? You know, Delinda, I don't want to talk about this.
Karim Sharif is very much alive.
One of my whales refuses to leave the Montecito Hawaiian Villas.
I have to go to Hawaii.
Where's your manager? Crap.
I didn't kill her.
I'm sorry, who are you? Your client's attorney.
I'm leaving town for a little while.
You're going after Sharif, aren't you? Sam, I'm in love with you.
What? What? Now what? Let's see what happens.
I need your help to open this file.
Can you access it? Oh, my God! Are you here on business or pleasure? Pleasure.
Enjoy your journey, Monsieur Traherne.
Thank you, merci.
Au revoir.
Got a hit.
He just went through passport control in Marrakech.
Do we have someone at the Marrakech airport? Yeah, COM line's open now.
Subject: Ed Deline.
Is traveling on a Canadian passport under the name Alan Traherne.
Ever been there? Marrakech? No.
Yeah.
I've been there twice.
I went the first time because of the song.
What song? You know, Crosby, Stills and Nash.
Rock the Casbah? Never mind.
Hey.
Hot, isn't it? I'm certain we have something you would like, monsieur.
I don't know.
I was just looking around.
They say if it cannot be found in the souk, it does not exist.
Right.
Well, I am looking for something in particular, but it's quite rare.
They say if it cannot be found in the souk, it does not exist.
We lost him.
Where are you, Sammy? These are the 100 biggest whales in the world.
Oh, my God, look at this.
Addresses, phone numbers, personal e-mails, wives, girlfriends, likes, dislikes.
It's like a Playmate profile.
Turn-ons: Ambition, white teeth.
Turn-offs: Smokers, mean people.
The problem is, the headings are there, but the info is grayed out.
Yeah, well, un-gray it.
Whoa, whose hands are those? Just a sec.
What? Shannon, has anyone ever told you you have the touch of an angel? Do you think this is inappropriate? I mean, at work.
Inappropriate is using the Montecito's already overextended health plan for a series of unnecessary chiropractic visits.
Oh, oh, oh! No, what you're doing is purely therapeutic.
Sam, I can't break the second layer of encryption.
I'd say whoever sent you this has a pretty good idea what turns you on.
Wait, what's this number at the bottom of the file right here? Sam.
I don't know.
Can you figure it out? Sam! Hold it, just one second.
It could be anything.
Sam! What? See, the last three numbers are 808.
That's our area code.
I think it's a local number printed backwards.
Yeah? Belongs to a Natalie Ko.
Number one real estate broker on Oahu.
Hey, how you doin'? Excuse me.
Do you know where I can find human resources? You're on the completely wrong floor.
Why don't you follow me? I'm sorry.
This place is just so big and confusing.
You looking for a job? Applying for one.
Hope.
Hope.
You know, jobs at the Montecito don't just grow on trees, you realize that? Well, I've only been in town for a few days, and I didn't realize how expensive everything was, and I I really, really need this job.
What? I was just thinking Yes? What would a girl like you do for a job at a multi-billion-dollar resort? Well I guess I'd do just about anything.
So, you're You're sure that Sharif has not been to Morocco at all.
Not for 20 years.
And this you know for a fact? For a fact.
Safe journey, old friend.
Thank you.
I think "innocent job-seeker, mean boss" is my favorite.
But not as good as the "helpless hospital patient, naughty night nurse," but it'll do in a pinch.
Look, we're gonna be late for that thing.
Oh! I know you're all busy people, and this isn't something that any of us would choose to do, but it's an important subject, and it's a growing problem, not just in our business, but across the nation.
You are 35 minutes late I know.
and it doesn't look good, Danny.
I'm sorry.
Well, how's it going, everybody? I'm Myles Sueno, and I'm your group leader.
I'm also an attorney, but mostly I'm just a dude.
Okay, then.
I am here to welcome all of you to the Montecito's executive sexual harassment seminar.
So, Natalie, how do you know so many high rollers? About 90% of the world's largest whales are Asian.
Most of the rest are Aussies, and almost all of them have second homes in Hawaii.
How are higher interest rates affecting the local market around here? My buyers tend to pay in cash, so I'm having my best year ever.
You? External factors barely affect my bottom line.
Gamblers gamble.
That's what they do.
Hmm.
Listen, I'm not wearing any sunscreen.
Maybe we could cut to the chase.
Why would you send me a flash drive with the names of all the biggest players on the planet? Checking me for a wire? No, but it's not a bad idea.
Why the list? Because I knew it would get your attention.
And because you have something I want.
Why don't you tell me what I have to do for the rest of that information? I'm sure that Brian is telling you he didn't kill that girl.
But he's lying.
How do you know? Because he nearly did the same thing to three other girls.
So, it's just locals looking out for each other, huh? It's like that for us in Vegas, too.
So, you want me to back down? You, Benny Youngs, Vic Manning, walk away.
How do you know Vic? Went out with him twice, slept with him once.
You? Something like that.
Listen, so, if I get everybody to dump Brian Rogers, I get the flash drive? You get the key to the kingdom.
Okay, so, let's recap, huh? Employee fraternization.
Anybody know what it means? It's when two people who work together are having sex, whether everybody else knows about it or not.
Right! And remember, a hotel-casino is no different than any other workplace.
We could be selling paper clips or hamburgers or widgets.
While it's not strictly forbidden, a sexual relationship between 2 consenting parties who are working together isn't just an exercise in bad judgment.
Four out of five don't work out, and trust me, they're a huge mess to clean up.
So, remember, people, Vegas, it's a big town.
There are plenty of fish in the deserts.
Describe her bikini to me.
Is she smoking hot in person? Did she mention my name? All right, you talk about her like she's some kind of goddess.
Do you know how long I've been trying to get a meeting with Natalie Ko? But just for the real estate contracts alone.
You know she thinks Brian's guilty, right? Yeah, he did kind of seem like he was lying.
Why, does Natalie want me to dump him? Because I will dump him.
Dude, don't you have some sort of lawyerly duty to stand by your client? Brian Rogers is a big, fat haole with a bad attitude.
Plus, his retainer check bounced.
Yeah, but what if he's innocent? I'm not fully following you here.
Do you want a mai-tai? Benny! You're not exactly instilling a ton of confidence right now.
Oh, okay.
So, how did she wear her hair? Did she blow-dry it straight or did she leave it curly? Or did she crimp it? Hey, we're going to need reinforcements.
Okay, any questions? Anybody have questions? Yeah, go ahead.
What if a couple of employees, guys or girls or a group or whatever, went upstairs, got a little scene going, and decided to take a few pictures or videos? Myles can address specific situations on a one-to-one basis after the general meeting.
Okay.
If there are no more questions As you all know, Ed Deline is at home recuperating from some injuries, and he's unable to be here with us today, but he has sent along a few questions.
Well, yeah, that's what this whole process is all about, is give and take.
So, do you want to read the questions or Actually, he's recorded them for playback.
So, my office has a private bathroom.
A lot of people know the door sticks, and sometimes it swings open a little bit.
Say I'm in there and someone comes in my office, and they spot me dropping off a couple of friends at the pool.
Tell me, how is that harassment? How? Okay, I think that's good.
Thank you.
Good stuff.
We're done.
Question two.
A lot of people like to hug me.
Admittedly, I'm a very huggable type of person.
Again, is it my fault that I have this warm huggable quality? Let me ask you, how could that be my fault? How could that be harassment? Give me one good reason to believe you.
I was passed out.
And look at me.
I'm way too much of a pussy to kill anybody.
That's original, not compelling.
Don't you bail on me, Sam Marquez.
I will go straight over to Mandalay Bay.
I swear, girlfriend, you will never make another penny off me.
What, are you taking my picture? Listen, I might be a douche bag, but I'm not a murderer.
Mahalo, Brian.
Sam! Bunny? Hello! All right, everybody knows.
You saw the way they were looking at us in there.
Who cares who knows? While your dad's away, I'm in charge.
Okay? I'm supposed to be setting an example here.
Hey.
The whole thing is a joke, Danny.
People should just behave and we wouldn't need stupid seminars.
Oh, okay.
And make a new surveillance schedule and e-mail it to me.
Okay.
What, are you into the whole group sex thing now? No.
Not for years.
It's just that guy Myles was such a dweeb.
I just wanted to see him squirm a little.
What do you think we should do about this whole employee fraternization Here's what we should do.
You're my boyfriend, and I don't care who knows it.
Do you want to meet upstairs in 15 minutes? Make it 10.
Okay.
Have a safe trip.
Thanks.
And call me if you're bored or anything.
I will.
What's this? You and Shannon? You learned nothing from that seminar? Pot calling kettle, look who's talking.
Mine is a pre-existing condition, okay? This stuff was in the works Whatever.
well before anybody said anything.
What's going on with the dead stripper? I got to go to Hawaii.
No, you don't.
Yeah, well, Rogers won't pay his markers, his room is still a crime scene and it's costing us about 20 grand a day.
Sam needs me.
Why do you get to go? You got to stay here and manage all this glory.
So Hey.
Any word from Ed? No.
No, nothing.
Check it.
This one? Or this one? Dude.
I wouldn't You know what? Haters can't be choosers.
Okay.
Well, have fun.
I'll see you.
That's mahalo, Danny.
Now, this is without a doubt the most hideous shirt I have ever seen.
That's a man, right? Did you see her? You know, I could turn around and go right back home.
Oh, wow! And to think I missed the sexual harassment seminar for all this.
Yeah, well Hand me your phone.
No.
Just watch my work there, Sam.
Thank you.
Be careful.
MIKE: Excuse me, ma'am.
Do you do any outcall or do you just work the stroll? Where'd you learn to speak ho? Quiet.
I follow the dollar.
Oh, you do? You ever seen this guy before? Is that a 20? I forgot to hit the ATM.
I got five, 10 Wait, I think I've got Keep it.
You can buy yourself a new shirt.
Everybody knows Brian.
He ever hit you? Hit me? A 10-year-old girl could kick Brian's ass.
Did he ever rough up any of the other girls? Nah.
Brian did his business in about two minutes.
Sometimes he likes his girls to dress up in outfits, but he barely pays attention.
Yeesh.
What kind of outfits, exactly? All that fat haole cares about is real estate.
Excuse me, excuse me.
Yeah, wait, what if Wait, wait, wait, wait! Why'd you give that woman money? Oh, we were just Oh, you see You freaky couples coming in from the mainland thinking anything goes, huh? Oh, no, officer, it's nothing like that.
Okay, hold on.
Fine.
On the wall.
You! Wait, officer, wait.
Check her ID.
Fine, where am I going So, how was Morocco? Great.
I was there for only 35 minutes.
Michael.
Yes.
You know I care about you, right? Yeah.
When's the "ugly shirt madness" going to end? Listen, listen, just 'cause you flashed a cop to keep us from getting arrested don't mean you can bash my gear.
And I know this is hot.
And while you were getting a massage this morning Mmm-hmm? I was at the county hall of records.
Great.
What are we doing here? What could make a man forget all about female companionship, even companionship he paid for? Homosexuality.
Focus, Sam.
Money, money.
Even better.
What's better than money? The basis of the capitalist system of which we are a vital part.
Can I buy a vowel? I don't know enough Land.
Ownership of land.
Brian Rogers owns this land? There you go, and remember what that girl said? All he really cared about was real estate.
And if you call in his markers, he's got to sell it.
So, this is vacant land.
There's no power.
There's no sewers.
There's no roads.
That's right, but the adjacent property has all that.
You combine the two, and they'd be worth close to $50 million.
Guess who owns that? No, she does not.
Natalie Ko? Natalie Ko.
Mmm.
You thinking what I'm thinking? Yes, we need buy this out from under Brian and sell it to Natalie.
I'm thinking Natalie framed Brian Rogers for the stripper's murder so she can get this land.
And we should help him.
You know, either or.
Whatever.
Where you going? I'm going with you.
DRIVER: Where to? Hoover Dam.
That is a very long trip, sir.
Yeah, so is Morocco.
Just keep driving.
Whoa, Ed.
Hey.
What the hell did you do? Nothing.
I swear.
How do they know you're alive? I don't know.
You know, it's not gonna take long for them to find you.
How long? I don't know.
Days, maybe hours.
This must be Danny.
I like him much better for Delinda than that doctor.
How do you Just shut up.
He likes you.
That's why he's so tough on you.
Danny, this is Karim Sharif.
You know, Ed, this is a very bad time for me to be going out of town.
I'm starting a new business.
Maybe you didn't quite understand me.
They're coming to kill you, Karim.
Listen to this, Mob tours of Vegas, huh? We take you to the sites of Vegas' most notorious murders.
Forty bucks a head.
I just bought a double-decker bus.
I thought I told you to stay dead.
You have surveillance cameras on the door, right? This isn't Vegas, Mike.
But we do have one camera in that tree.
So, no one came in or out except for the dead girl? Right.
We have video of her going in.
That's it.
You smell really good.
Step off, or I'll shoe you in the sack.
How did he eat? He must've ordered food every day.
We'd leave his room service cart outside his door.
He'd wheel it in himself, out when he was done.
How about the maid? Maids.
Plural.
Twice a day.
It's a big room.
We need the tapes from that camera.
Okay, now you can talk.
Why is Sharif in Vegas? Jillian? Jillian? I guess she's outside.
Huh? 'Cause I hid him here.
I thought you killed him.
The Company wanted me to kill him about 20 years ago, but it was a set-up.
You know, the guy did some things, but he didn't do what they said he did.
How do you know that? I really don't know for certain, but I didn't want to take a chance on killing an innocent guy.
So, what do we do now? What we will do now is keep the Sharif under wraps for a little while, so those two geniuses don't spot him.
I'm working on something.
You do know that when they find out that Sharif's in Vegas, they're going to kill you, too.
Yeah, I know.
What are you doing? You know they're going to spot you.
Yeah, I know.
Okay, here we are the night of the alleged murder.
First, the stripper goes in.
Then, notice the maids going in.
Yeah.
And the stripper's still inside, presumably alive.
Right.
Now, So? MIKE: Bingo.
Because the stripper is the maid.
It's the same girl.
So, one maid and the stripper killed the other maid and left her in Brian's bed.
That's going to be hard to prove.
What about the maids who went in? Impostors.
Hotel management verified that neither one of them worked at the Montecito.
I'll take it to the DA.
It should create enough doubt to get Brian released.
All right! There you go.
It's Danny.
Hey, I think we just got Sam's whale off the hook.
She says hi, by the way.
Good.
Come home.
Uh I was going to spend a couple days here at the beach.
Are you still drunk dialing that Lieutenant of Paramedics? Yeah, she's still on the speed dial.
What's this all about? I can't talk about it on the phone, but it is important, so I need you to get back here.
I'm on my way.
Thought you weren't coming back for a few days.
You wearing my hat? Right out of the hospital and off you go to who knows where.
Yeah.
I know.
Oh, she needs some new shoes.
I'll call the furrier.
Maybe you need some new shoes.
I don't want to go shopping.
Excuse me, I don't believe I've ever heard that.
It's the Montecito or the Agency.
Not both.
And I mean it.
I happened to get shot at the Montecito.
The CIA had nothing to do with that.
Then retire, from everything.
And do what? I don't know.
Enjoy life.
Take me to see the world.
I've seen the world.
It's a little overrated.
You could try acting your age.
Yeah, like that's going to happen.
Right? Is that gonna happen? Did you know the default milk in a latte is skim now? They don't even ask.
Yeah.
It's better for you.
I hate skim milk.
What's this country coming to? Maybe after we lost him, he bailed out of Morocco altogether.
Or maybe Deline's dead.
Worse things could happen.
Just for yucks, I had the NSA bird shoot some video.
Its last pass over Vegas.
When was this? Five minutes ago.
Ed Deline and his lovely wife.
Are you gonna slap me again? Why'd you have to shove it in my face? What about you and Casey? First of all, Casey's gone.
All right? So there is no more me and Casey.
And second of all, before we even contemplated starting anything, Casey went to Sam and told her.
But I never got mad about you and Jake.
And I don't see where you get off getting mad about Delinda.
Jake was never your friend.
And I'm not mad about Delinda.
I'm mad that neither one of you respect me enough to tell me the truth.
Excuse me.
How about we make a cash deal for the rest of what's on here? If I wanted money, I would've given you a figure.
So, why did you help him? Well, because Brian's a douche bag.
He's not a killer.
He's my client.
Loyalty's overrated, don't you think? Maybe.
It's the one thing I don't put a price on.
It's a shame.
I heard he owed you six million.
Six-and-a-half million.
What do you mean, "owed"? You didn't hear? Rogers defaulted on his markers to the Montecito.
He filed Chapter 11 this morning.
Guess that'll hold up his property for a while, huh? I'm a patient woman.
I do admire your persistence.
So, you planning on hanging out for a while? You know, there's a lot to see here.
After I tell the police that I'm pretty sure you're a murderer, I got to get back to Vegas.
My clients need me.
You ever thought of selling real estate? You know, you'd be great.
Yeah? Yeah.
I don't know, too much ass-kissing.
Hey, Mare.
Why didn't you have the decency to tell me? Now's not exactly the best time for us to chat.
Take a walk.
I thought you weren't talking to me.
Oh, I'm not talking to you.
I am yelling at you.
You know what? I'm tired of walking on eggshells around you.
Danny wanted to marry you.
You gave him his ring back.
It's over.
You don't have dibs on him any more, so get over it.
Poor Derek.
He never even saw it coming.
Hmm, maybe poor Derek and poor Mary should get together and trade sob stories.
You'd like that, wouldn't you? I swear, you are just pathological.
Now you're talking out of your ass.
Hey.
So, how did How'd it go in Hawaii, Danny? Things handled? Yeah.
It turns out Brian Rogers is innocent.
Ah, that's good.
Hey How about the sexual harassment thing? You play my tape? Of course.
Wait, I thought you were supposed to be out of town.
Am I being fired, guys? Mike, you know that we trust you like family, right? And we're going to need your help with something.
So, whatever's said from this moment forward Remain between us.
Yes.
Absolutely.
As you may have heard, I was with the CIA.
Wow, Mr.
D.
That I mean, I've always known.
Even as a valet, you'd hear whispers, but I mean, you actually admit it, it's Save it kind of Right.
There was a man that I was ordered to eliminate.
His name is Karim Sharif.
And for various reasons, I chose not to do the job.
Karim Sharif is alive, and here in Las Vegas.
Okay, so what do I got to do? You want me to tap into Sharif's computer? Analyze some terrorist video? We would like you to help us kill him.
It's not safe for you here.
We got to move you.
How do I know you won't kill me? Because I could have done that 100 times.
Just pack a bag, and meet me tonight.
Okay.
But in a public place.
Fremont Street.
Experience.
11:00.
That's it.
Number one's on schedule.
Copy.
Two for one.
You think they'll give me a medal? Stay focused.
You're no fun.
You ready? All set.
Grassy knoll, my ass.
Somebody's been shot! It's done.
I didn't think he had the balls.
MAN: Morning.
Good morning, ma'am.
If you're gonna yell at me, can it at least wait till tomorrow? I'm a little jet-lagged.
How do you know I'm going to yell at you? 'Cause I hear you're yelling at everyone.
Everyone who deserves it.
What did I do? That's just it, Mike.
Nothing.
You never do anything.
So you're mad at me 'cause I didn't do anything.
You knew about Danny and Delinda, and you never said one thing to me.
Don't you think this whole "confronting everybody at work" thing is a little ridiculous? Why didn't you tell me? Because it wasn't my place to, Mary, and I didn't want to hurt you.
No.
No, this is not about you not wanting to hurt me.
You can't take the risk that somebody might not like you, can you? Okay, now you're tripping.
You would rather not say anything than take the chance that somebody might get mad at Mike Cannon.
You're really that insecure? I think we should stop now, before we both say something that we can't take back.
Oh, yeah? Yeah.
You're on notice, Mike.
It's not okay to be Switzerland any more.
You got something to tell me? Yeah, yeah.
Um You're wearing a $99 suit.
Look, Lennox, it's over.
You know it's over.
All right.
I just had to hear it from you.
You know, there is a question that's been on my mind.
Why? I mean, why is it that you wanted this guy dead so bad? Van Allen.
Gans.
Van Allen and Gans? Are you out of your mind? I know for a fact this guy had nothing to do with killing either one of them.
Oh, well, I guess it's a little late for that.
What's done is done, right? That's right.
It's all over.
Yeah, it is all over.
I'm out.
Why? Because you finally did your job? Because I did what you couldn't.
We could've terminated that subject any time we wanted to.
Really? Why didn't you, then? Why didn't you, punk? Okay, then.
My contract is fulfilled, and as of this moment, my employment agreement with the Agency is cancelled.
Ed, if we need you, we're gonna call on you.
That's how it's always been.
How it always will be.
Why don't you take your little fluffy here and get the hell out of my office? You've done your country a great service.
Save your lies for Congress.
I'd like to thank you all for coming.
First of all, I would like to apologize for that seminar the other day.
It was confusing, lame, stupid, mostly just a waste of our time.
That said, I'll be brief.
First things first.
Delinda Deline, will you come up here, please? Delinda is my girlfriend.
Wow.
Girlfriend.
Yeah, anybody got a problem with that? No? Good.
No, okay, that will be all.
Okay, second, the Montecito doesn't sell widgets.
We sell dreams, dreams of sex and booze and promises of riches.
So, there is a lot of temptation around here.
But let's not pretend it doesn't exist.
Okay, here are the rules.
Guys, don't be creepy.
You ask a girl out, she says "no," that's it.
Women, there's a difference between a guy being a jerk, and sexual harassment.
Okay, so use common sense.
You've got plenty of it.
Gay or straight, young or old, the golden rule is the standard.
Just You know, just do unto others.
Oh, and for the knuckleheads who won't or can't help themselves, just come to me or Cathy Burson, and we'll take care of it.
All right, that's it.
Thanks.
Hey, so what did you tell the G-men? Oh, well, I was very contained.
I told them that I was out for good, and would they please leave my hotel.
I almost blew it, though, because I wanted to hit that little bastard again so bad.
Do you think they bought it? Hey, I'm a pretty good actor, you know.
I heard it's true.
All right, you guys have fun.
Thanks.
Sam.
Oh, Vic.
Yeah.
Hi.
What are you doing here? Hi.
I told you.
I'm in love with you.
Go home.
Just hear me out 'cause I've thought this through.
Oh! You are smart and beautiful and independent.
Okay, first of all, I know all these things.
Second of all, yes, I realize we hooked up, but it wasn't that great.
Wait, and honest.
Did I mention scrupulously honest? Which is not really a chick-like trait.
Yeah, that's great.
So, I'm the perfect woman.
Now leave.
You're also kind of mean.
I'm not mean.
Hawaiians are very mellow people.
They have taught me patience and humility.
I can take mean.
Really? Mmm.
You really think I'm that mean? Doesn't really matter.
I can totally handle it.
In fact, I kind of dig it.
Okay.
I'm going to try and say this in the nicest way that I know how.
I think that you should go back to Hawaii.
Because if you don't, I will have Ed Deline kill you.
I waited a long time for my big brother to dump you, Sam.
I'm not just walking away.
Casey did not dump me.
When he sells this place, I will make sure you have a soft landing.
Sells to who? When? Sleep with me and I'll tell you.
Okay.
You mean it? Mmm-hmm.
Start talking or the deal's off.
