Las Vegas s04e04 Episode Script

God, it's like a hundred.
Yeah, it cools off a lot in November.
Whoo! I already feel special.
You think it's this limousine, or you think it's just Vegas? Hey, Ed.
It's Danny.
We just landed.
Yeah, well It was not quite the trip Delinda and I had planned.
Bring it up! So, Danny tells me there's a murder.
Oliver Kern was a first-chair violinist with the Boston Pops.
Had a very expensive Stradivarius that's gone missing, as well as a freeloading brother who has also disappeared.
Really? There's your freeloader right there.
So I'm sorry about how the way the vacation ended.
What do you mean? The Vineyard was great.
Your car, sir.
Thanks.
I know.
I know.
I was just hoping to initiate you into the Mile High Club on the way home.
Please.
Like I don't already have those wings.
Besides, if there is an actual murderer at the Montecito, how could we say no to giving Woody and Jordan a ride back on the jet? Where to, Mr.
McCoy? Home.
My home? Or mine.
Or both.
You know, if you want to be alone.
No, I don't wanna be alone.
It's just that your house is so kind of Yeah, it is.
Well, how about our home? What? We've been talking about it.
Move in together? Look, I know that it's scary.
But, you know, I haven't done it.
You haven't done it.
And we both love each other.
And I do love virgin territory.
Please be gentle.
This is my first time.
This is gonna be way better than the Mile High Club.
Brad Kern? Yes.
Hi.
I'm Ed Deline, President of the Montecito.
This is Jordan Cavanaugh.
She's from the Medical Examiner's office in Massachusetts.
Oh, is there a problem? That's a nasty scratch you got there.
Yeah.
It's from my violin case.
I have an audition with the Vegas Phil tomorrow.
Hmm, mind if we take a look at it? The violin? Oh, I'm kinda busy.
Twenty-one.
Maybe later.
See by my watch, it's later already.
Get up! Mr.
Taylor Are you sure you wouldn't like to play one of our tables? Oh, here we go.
I know.
Slots are for little old ladies.
Slots are for losers.
I've heard it.
Thank you.
It's not that, Sam it's a question Sam.
Sam.
Understand.
Athletes have a routine.
Whatever worked for us the first time, we gonna try it the next time.
That's how I ended up with 132 sacks.
Oh.
Two Super Bowl Rings.
Yeah, you do have two Super Bowl rings.
You won at slots last time? Hell, no.
But I had these socks on.
I played this machine for 10 minutes.
Then I went on to win Well, that's great.
Whatever works.
So, where are your Super Bowl rings? I've never actually seen one in person.
Well, I wear the one, you know.
That's my favorite I guess.
But it's in the safe deposit box.
Is that XXl or XXV? XXl.
You know football? Come on, now, Mr.
Taylor.
I make it my business to know everything about my clients.
That's my job.
You ready to play craps, you come talk to me, okay? You know what? I think I'm ready to roll.
All right.
Where'd the pretty lady cop go? Who's this? Oh, that was a pretty medical examiner.
This is a very attractive homicide detective.
All right, I'm confused.
Who died and why do you want to see my violin? To be fair, it's not really your violin, is it? It's your brother's.
And it's not just a violin, though, is it? I mean, it's a Stradivarius.
Worth, what? A million? Yes, it's Oliver's instrument.
But he loaned it to me.
And it's actually worth $3 million, which is why I keep it here, locked up safe and sound.
I see.
This wouldn't be what I'd call good.
The Strad.
Looks like you've been robbed.
That's good police work there, Sherlock.
Oh, jeez.
My brother is going to kill me.
Trust me, I think you're safe.
This really pisses me off.
You realize that if I'm moving in here, that shower curtain has got to go.
Okay.
What? You have something against golf? In the bathroom, yes.
Okay.
Okay.
But you don't want to change anything else, right? I mean you have to admit this place is pretty perfect.
Yeah, just a few little nothing things.
Like what? Oh, it's your dad.
Tell him we're moving in together.
I'm not.
You tell him we're moving in together.
He's not calling me.
I don't know why he's calling me.
Answer it.
Okay.
Answer it.
Be calm.
Hey, Ed, what's up? What? How? Okay, I'll be there in 15 minutes.
What? What, what, what, what? Somebody tunneled into the safe deposit vault and took everything.
You do realize that, as head of security, I'm kind of responsible for this robbery.
Oh, please.
I might just lose my job.
I might.
Bye.
What you're gonna lose is that chair.
How did this happen? That's what I wanna know.
Well, Mary, our cameras don't monitor the safe deposit box area for the privacy of the guests.
We rely solely on our security system.
After our motion and sound detection.
Excuse me, Mike.
Forgive me for asking this.
But I know for a fact we have sub floor wiring to alert us, let's say, incase somebody tunneled in.
This isn't our fault.
Clearly someone knew which wires to cut.
How to bypass the security system.
We're dealing with a pro here, Ed.
They tunneled through the sewer system.
Knew just where to go.
Are the cops on their way? No, no.
No cops.
Here we go.
Yeah, "here we go," because you don't get it.
This is worse than stolen money.
This is people's personal belongings.
Irreplaceable belongings.
If this gets out, you know, that's the worst possible publicity we can get.
So we're supposed to find whoever did this by the time we open tomorrow morning, recover the stolen property and return it? You know, I think you're catching on.
It's a little industrious.
How do we even know what was stolen? We know that there was a $3 million Stradivarius stolen.
Okay? That should be good for a start.
Hey, Sam.
You're back early.
You're walking with purpose.
It must be true.
Yeah, I don't have time for your guessing games.
You seen Ed? The safe deposit boxes were got robbed? Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Who told you? Ow! Please.
I know everything.
I just don't usually care.
Hmm.
Strawberry lube.
You know, do me a favor and don't care about this.
You got enough problems of your own.
I don't have problems.
I'm problem free.
Why? What problems do you think I have? Woody is here.
He's pissed about you standing him up at the wedding.
Okay, first of all, there was no wedding, and second of all, why do I have to explain myself to some dude who's not even my boy Okay.
This is mature.
Okay, okay, okay.
Okay.
If you're not interested in the guy, just tell him.
Man up.
Or woman up.
All right, listen to me.
Forget about Woody.
I need to tell you about Lawrence Taylor.
LT? He has some valuables in those safety deposit boxes.
The winner of two Super Bowls, Lawrence Taylor, is here? He's got his world championship ring in one of those boxes.
XXV or XXl? That's the one.
Which one? XXl.
Oh, that's the good one.
We gotta find that one.
Okay.
I'm here.
What can I do? Well, you can help Jordan and Woody with their murder investigation.
They're interrogating that Brad Kern in the holding room.
Okay.
What about the robbery? Mike and I'll handle that.
Can I at least get an update? I am head of security.
Okay, well, right now, we're putting together a list of names.
Anyone involved with the rebuilding of the Montecito last year.
Electricians, plumbers, engineers, even the cleanup crew.
Anyone who might have knowledge of the hotel's blueprint and the city sewer system.
And we didn't call the cops yet, because that would be an absolute PR nightmare.
Like father like son.
What's that? What? Let's get this done.
Anyway, this guy looks to me to be a real good possibility.
He's an electrician's assistant with a shady past.
He worked for this alarm company in Tucson for three years.
He would know just how to disarm the system.
Where to cut the wires, how to disable the sub-floor alarm.
MIKE: I was studying the wiring.
And they don't look so much cut as they do gnawed.
What are you saying? Somebody bit their way into the vault? Not somebody.
Something.
I think maybe it was Lulu who disabled the alarm.
An unwitting participant in the success of this unfortunate heist.
Wait.
Who the hell is Lulu? She's a rat.
A pet rat actually.
One of the guests back in July reported her missing, and given her penchant for the taste of plastic and metal, I think maybe she's our electrical culprit.
She's a white Norwegian rat.
Rattus norvegicus, technically.
Rather beautiful.
If you admire rodents.
Mike, we don't allow rodents at the Montecito.
We rarely invite them into the casino.
Well, I put out cruelty-free traps last month.
But so far, we didn't have any luck.
Mike, get cruel.
Just get cruel, Mike.
I would like that rat's head on a platter.
You mean, kill it? Yeah.
Yeah, you have one job now and you have one job only.
He will handle the murder investigation.
I will take care of the robbery.
And you will get the rat.
We'd love to believe you, Brad.
We really would.
But this does not look good for you.
He was beaten to death with his own music stand.
I love my brother.
I could never hurt him.
Running off to Vegas with Oliver's violin? You could see how that might look to a jury.
I have proof that my brother loaned me the violin for my audition.
I mean, you only have my word on that.
But I did nothing to hide my trip here.
I mean I was easy to find for a reason.
I understand the violin was stolen from the safe deposit box.
Maybe this was an insurance scam? Why would I have my brother killed and have the Strad stolen? It didn't belong to me.
I couldn't have collected the insurance money.
So you would be willing to submit to a DNA test? It might help prove your innocence.
Do whatever you want.
Okay.
As a matter of fact, you can give me a lie detector test.
I'm totally innocent and you'll see.
Don't even think about it, Daddy.
Don't think about what? Danny called me.
He said you might do something crazy like this.
Honey, all I'm doing is going Going down into a dark dangerous hole and finding God knows who or what on the other end.
Well, you know, I've been known to protect myself.
Good.
Then you can protect me, too.
What? 'Cause I'm going with you.
No, you're not.
What'd you say? I can't hear you? Hey, you know, you're just like your mother.
You just don't listen.
Hey, Nigel.
It's Jordan.
Any word on the DNA found under Oliver Kern's nails? Uh-huh.
Well, I'm sending Brad Kern's sample over for comparison.
You should have that in a few hours.
Okay? Thanks.
Hey.
Jordan.
Hey.
Hey, I heard you were here.
Yeah, I'm working on a case.
How are you? Can't complain.
Can't complain.
I'm working on a big security project myself.
Very hush-hush.
Oh, related to the robbery? Could be.
Could be.
But, hey, if you need any help with what you're working on, I'm your man.
You know about the murder? I'm top-level security clearance here, Jordan.
There isn't much I don't know.
Ah, I will keep that in mind.
Yeah.
Actually, there is something I could use.
What's that? A room.
Just so I can freshen up.
You know? I thought maybe while I'm waiting on forensics, I could take a bath.
Well, you look plenty fresh to me, but your wish is my command.
Hey, Mary? Yeah? Could you comp a room for Jordan so she can freshen up? The boutiques are closed, I'm afraid.
But Mary will send somebody up from laundry, have your clothes cleaned and pressed and back to you within an hour.
Oh, thank you.
Did you just snap at me? No.
I don't think so.
'Cause I heard snapping.
Oh, I didn't hear anything.
It's really loud.
Lulu is on the move.
Ventilation five, sector three.
Roger that.
If you'll excuse me, ladies.
Did he say Lulu? I think so.
Maybe it's some kind of security code? He did snap at me, didn't he? Definite snappage.
Uh-huh.
Hey, maybe I could use that in my stand-up routine.
Snapping's funny, right? Even the word's funny.
Snap.
You're doing stand-up? Yeah.
Yeah, still working out the kinks though.
Snap.
Snappy.
Snapper.
Snap.
You know what? This took a lot of men and a lot of big equipment.
So this tunnel ends where? The sewer? Well, if my nose is working correctly, the answer to that is yes.
I saw Shawshank Redemption and I am not diving into fecal matter.
These are my Well, I don't know what you're doing here anyway.
I mean, what are you doing here? I didn't ask you.
I'm trying to be close to you, Daddy.
I mean, this is one of those father-daughter moments that don't come along very often.
Don't you feel it? Uh-huh.
I feel like we could talk about anything down here.
It's like a confessional.
No anger.
No judgment.
Just plain and simple communication.
Okay, stop.
What? What is it that you want to tell me, sweetheart? Danny and I are moving in together.
That's great.
Terrific.
Terrific? Yeah.
I mean, you know how I feel about Danny.
I mean, you're a big girl now.
And you know what you're doing.
It's great.
No speech about why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free? No, no.
Watch out for this rock over here.
So what you're telling me is that I didn't have to come down this hole at all? I could have told you this all up on earth? Yup.
That's what I'm telling you.
But since you're here now, let's just continue this bonding.
Right this way, ma'am.
Like we had a choice.
Solving a murder.
That's sexy.
Chasing after a rat? That ain't sexy.
Lulu.
Think that wire tastes good, huh? Wait till you get a taste of this.
That Brie's triple cream.
From France.
Gotcha.
Oh.
Ow! Man, I've never seen a poly like this.
I really need to move to Vegas.
These things really work? It's inadmissible, but it'll tell us what we need to know.
Okay.
Brad.
If that is in fact your name.
Well, actually I Yes or no responses, please.
All right.
Can we get on with this? Is your name Bradley Kern? No.
It's Bradford actually.
But I go by Brad.
Bradford's kinda gay, so I just That isn't a yes or a no.
Bradford is sort of gay.
He's not lying.
Okay.
And you live, or shall I say lived, with your brother, Oliver Kern? Yes.
Were you jealous of your brother's success? He was a better violinist.
That's true.
But he was always supportive of me.
Okay, why isn't he answering yes or no? Because it's yes and no.
You gotta pick one.
Did you steal the Stradivarius from Oliver or did you not? I mean that's pretty cut and dry, yes or no.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Danny.
I'm conducting an official investigation as an officer of the law.
Okay, this is my hotel.
Okay? Yeah.
Where you're a security guard and you're not even allowed to carry a gun.
I'm not a security guard.
I don't need a gun.
I was just about to show you that in the boxing ring.
Oh, yeah? Bring it.
Bring it.
Can we continue this? Can we continue? No.
I did not steal the Stradivarius.
I borrowed it.
Okay.
Did you kill your brother? No.
Did you have any knowledge that he was going to be killed? No, I didn't.
Oliver was the only family I had.
He's telling the truth, isn't he? Okay, we're done here.
Hey.
Hey.
I just wanted to check on you and let you know that your clothes will be ready shortly.
Oh, great.
And help yourself to the mini bar.
It's comp, too.
Wow.
Even the macadamia nuts? Well, especially the macadamia nuts.
Thank you.
Oh, Mary.
Can I please ask you a question? You want to know about Mike Cannon.
What? He asked me about you, too, you know.
Oh, I really.
Really? Yeah.
What did he ask? Well, you know, if you're single, what your story is.
He thought there were some sparks there earlier.
God.
Sparks? I don't know.
I mean, I don't really know the guy.
Well, he's very smart.
He went to MIT.
He's funny.
He's charming.
He's athletic.
Well, you know a smart man is truly hard to find.
Mike Cannon is a great catch.
Hi, Mike.
How y'all doing? Well, I guess I should get home.
Deal with my brother's arrangements.
Well, that's probably going to take a little time.
I don't think they're going to release the body for burial while the investigation continues.
Yeah.
I didn't know how it worked.
And don't you have an audition for the Vegas Philharmonic? Well, it doesn't do me a lot of good without a violin.
Well, you know, maybe I could, you know, help you find something.
Might not be a Stradivarius, but you know Just let me see what I can do.
You're being really nice, Mr.
McCoy.
Well, we did just interrogate you and accuse you of murder.
I think the least I can do is comp your stay and get you a violin.
You know? Thank you.
And stick around, have another beer or two.
DELINDA: What are we looking for anyway? Anything the crew might've left behind.
Stuff too heavy to carry.
Like that? Yeah.
I feel like Mulder and Scully.
Who? Never mind.
And the stuff like this that wasn't worth carrying.
Can we go back now? Yeah.
We can go back now.
Come on.
Hi, stranger.
Hey! You're smudgy.
Look at you.
I know.
I have to go home and shower.
Then I have to start nesting.
Really? So, did you tell your old man we're moving in together? Yup.
Yeah? And? He's totally cool with it.
Really? Wow.
He even gave me a couple of extra days to move in.
But I'm gonna be stuck here.
I don't think we can do it till, like, next weekend.
Danny, I can handle it.
I know.
I have no doubt that you can handle it.
But, you know, I just thought that we were gonna make these Uh-huh.
kind of decisions together.
It's just a little blending.
I know.
I get it.
Don't worry.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm not You know Trust me.
I'm fine.
I trust you.
Okay.
Bye.
You know why? Why? Because that's what relationships are all about is trust.
Okay.
You're sweating.
I read that somewhere.
Okay.
Okay.
Bye.
Well, it's definitely a human hair.
Female, I'd say.
How do you know the gender? Oh, highlights and low lights.
The natural color's a dark brown, but there are traces of these other colors adhered to the surface.
No offense, Jordan, but I know lots of guys that dye their hair.
True enough.
I could run DNA just to know for sure, but I don't think I'd make your 10:00 a.
m.
deadline.
Hey, Ed, are you sure you don't want to call in the local authorities on this? No.
Too much red tape.
They'd slow me down.
Yeah.
No one knows that better than I do.
Jordan, thank you for your help.
I owe you one.
Okay.
If you don't mind, I'd like to send this to a lab I know locally.
Maybe if I drop your name it'll help speed things up.
That'd be nice.
Let's play up there.
More like the wheel of misfortune right now, isn't it? Woody, you're here.
Zip it, Marquez.
Hmm.
Marquez? You must be upset about something.
Although I can't imagine what.
You can't imagine what? You can't imagine being stood up at a wedding? You can't imagine flying half way across the country, using up all your frequent-flyer miles, only to get here and not have a date.
You can't imagine that? Oh, see? I thought you had stood me up.
So we just got our signals crossed.
I'm a cop, Samantha.
I know when people are lying.
Their pupils dilate.
They don't blink.
All right, look.
We both know that I'm a better liar than you are a cop.
But we'll find out.
Hmm.
What are we doing? You're gonna take a lie-detector test.
Do we actually have any proof that Mike went to MIT? Now that you mention it, I've never seen the sheepskin.
No, me neither.
So, how's it going with the robbery investigation? I'm done with all this murder business if you need some help.
We got some evidence that there's a woman involved.
But she couldn't have done it alone.
I mean she needed a crew with some big equipment to dig that kind of hole.
Well, maybe they borrowed some equipment from one of the local construction sites.
I could check it out.
See if anything is missing or stolen.
Yeah.
Good.
Oddly enough, this Dino Mackey's in town.
Dino Mackey? Yeah, yeah.
He's an appraiser and dealer of antiques and fine art.
I mean, that's what it says on his tax returns anyway.
But in reality, he's a big time fence.
I mean big time.
I got a good feeling he might be able to lead us to that Stradivarius.
Well, what about the Super Bowl ring? What Super Bowl ring? Lawrence Taylor had one of his Super Bowl rings stolen from one of the safety deposit boxes.
Let's go check it out.
Yeah, just wait a minute.
I understand you're moving in with my daughter.
Yeah.
Yeah, we are.
Uh-huh.
This is ridiculous.
It's not ridiculous if you're a liar.
All right, well, ask me the stupid questions, so we can be done with this, please.
Okay.
Did you knowingly stand me up at the wedding? Yes, I did.
But I had a good reason.
Yes or no answers will suffice.
Yes.
But I think finding a dead stripper in your ex-brother-in-law's hotel is a pretty good reason.
Wow.
There was really a dead stripper? Yes.
Okay, did you feel badly about being forced to stand me up? No, I did not.
And you know what? I'm bored.
And I'm leaving.
Is there someone else? No, there isn't anyone else! Woody, we had a good time together.
What is with all this drama? That isn't a yes or a no.
You're supposed to give me yes or nos.
Hey, hey.
Is there someone else? What about Jordan? You and Jordan, you guys are always together, right? The hot cop and the sexy medical examiner.
You guys are like peanut butter and jelly.
No, you're like beer and tequila.
You know, you're like porno and We're just friends.
Oh, yeah.
And could we get back to this, please? I know what we're really doing here.
You are so transparent.
Oh, yeah? Yeah.
Where am I transparent? You wanna play with that polygraph? Mmm, mmm, mmm, look at this.
Boy, Boston PD could never afford one this nice, could they? You had to invent a reason to use this and that reason is me.
That is ridiculous.
Mmm.
But why don't we switch things up and you can ask me some stuff.
All right.
I'm busy.
I mean, you gotta admit this thing is pretty darn cool.
I've just never seen one so high tech.
We got one in Boston but it's totally prehistoric.
Bye, Woody.
See you.
The DNA under Oliver Kern's nails matched some in CODIS? Hmm.
Larry Dean? I thought that Brad Kern found a way to beat the polygraph test, but I guess he didn't kill his brother.
Hmm.
MIKE: Where are you? Mike.
Come out, come out Hey! Hey.
Is everything okay? Yeah.
Yeah.
Sure.
Definitely.
I was just making sure things were good with you.
Oh, I'm fine.
Good.
So are you thirsty? I mean, did you wanna come in for something to drink? I was just about to open up this tiny free bottle of $75 champagne.
I shouldn't.
I'm working on a big project.
Ed's been all over me about it, so Oh, okay.
It was But you know what? A little bubbly does sound nice.
Maybe just one quick one? Little bit? Yeah.
Mr.
Kern? Yes? I'm Mary Connell.
I'm the manager here at the Montecito.
I'd just like to say how sorry I am for your loss.
And Well, secondly.
What's that? it's a violin.
I know it's I know it's not a Stradivarius, but it's supposedly pretty good.
A musician friend of mine loaned it to me and I thought well, maybe you could use it for your audition tomorrow morning.
Oh, I don't know.
I don't think I'm going to audition.
I don't think I could concentrate.
Don't you think your brother would want you to try? Well, Oliver always wanted me to try.
But he was a lot more talented than me.
To him it just came natural.
For me, it takes a lot more effort.
All right.
Well, just think about it.
Can always change your mind.
So, does it work? Wow! That looks great on you.
Yeah, take it.
I can't steal this.
Keep it.
It'll be our little secret.
So you're leaving so soon? Yeah, well, the guy who killed Oliver Kern is in Boston.
BPD found him based on the DNA we pulled from the body.
So, case closed.
Getting back to Beantown is a priority, of course.
But selfishly speaking, I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to chat.
Yeah.
Well, maybe next time? Hmm.
I don't get back East too often.
Reunions and things like that.
That's right.
You went to MIT.
Mmm-hmm.
And you went to BU, then Tufts for med school.
You've been checking up on me? Oh, you're not the only one who knows how to launch an investigation, Jordan.
All right, well Should I be flattered Oh, no.
or really frightened? Hey, wait! Just Oh! Oh, my God.
She's dead.
That's the biggest rat I've ever seen.
So you killed her? Because what? She's not a size two? It's a rat, Mike.
Okay, a big fat, pink-eyed rodent that probably has fleas or mites or some God-awful disease.
I mean I can't believe I'm justifying this.
You put your hands inside dead people for a living.
But a furry little animal gets within two feet of you and that sends you into a murderous tizzy? Okay.
Do you have psychological problems? No.
I just have problems with killers.
Have a good flight back to Boston, Miss Cavanaugh.
And leave the robe.
This place is a freak show.
AUCTIONEER: This was Liberace's first baby grand.
Music with handwritten notes are still in the bench.
We'll start the bidding at 300,000.
Thank you, Mr.
Mackey.
Do I have 310,000? Thank you, sir.
I can't believe people actually buy this crap.
Some people think this crap's part of history.
They'll pay anything for it.
Let's just hope that Mackey leads us to the fiddle.
Do we have 340? Three It's a Stradivarius.
Whatever.
Thank you, Mr.
Mackey.
Do I have 350? Don't tell me she's got you whipped already.
Same here, folks.
Come on.
Sorry about that.
Can I call you right back? Danny, it's an emergency.
Do I hear 360,000? Thank you.
360.
What's wrong? Are you hurt? No.
No.
Nothing like that.
It's just I just don't think I can live with this mattress any more.
For one, you've had sex with other women on it.
And two, there's no pillow top, Danny.
I mean, even prisoners have pillow tops.
This is your emergency? My mattress.
Our mattress.
And it's not so much an emergency as it is an urgency.
You know what? Get rid of it if you want.
I don't care about the mattress.
You decide, baby.
Whatever you want.
Okay? Really? Really.
Now, I've really gotta go.
I'm very busy.
Well, I'm very busy, too, Danny.
Okay.
Okay, we're both very busy with very important stuff.
See how great this is? We're in total agreement.
I'm hanging up now.
Hanging up first.
Dino Mackey.
Ed Deline.
I thought that was you back there.
So, you already have a buyer for this? Yes.
A member of the Imperial Family in Japan.
I never understood the fascination with Liberace myself, but you do what you can for your clients.
Yes, indeed.
Yes, yes.
As a matter of fact, I have a friend that's looking for a violin.
A Stradivarius.
Antonius Stradivari.
The great master luthier of his time.
They say he only made I find that all very fascinating.
But I'm really looking for one violin in particular.
The Lisbon Strad.
The Lisbon has a long and colorful history of theft.
But I believe it now belongs to Oliver Kern.
I believe Oliver Kern is dead.
Oh, I didn't realize.
And wait till you get this.
The violin just vanished.
Poof! Just like that.
Stolen in a robbery at my hotel.
Along with a lot of other valuable collectibles and a championship sports ring.
So, as I'm sure you can probably guess, I'm just a little pissed off.
Maybe Maybe even a little irrational.
Was it a Super Bowl XXl ring? That's the one.
Oh, see, now we're getting somewhere.
I booked us on a red-eye.
Great.
The sooner we're out of here, the better.
I couldn't agree more.
Mike Cannon should be institutionalized.
It's totally over between Sam and me.
I mean, it was already over, but now it's over over.
He's probably conducting funeral services for that disease-ridden rodent.
God! Psycho! Waste of a perfect body.
I know.
Just give me a good murder and a decent motive any day of the week, man.
You see that lie-detector machine? We gotta get one of those.
Hey! You guys are leaving already? Oh, yeah.
See you.
Oh Bye.
Odd people.
See, now, whoever has the ring has the violin, which is good.
Because it could save me from having one of those, irrational moments.
You know? Like breaking this piano into a thousand pieces.
Well, someone contacted me earlier.
Said that they had a newly acquired violin and a Super Bowl ring.
Plus some other collectible jewelry.
Wow.
See? Isn't that easy? Well, how do I find them? Well, that's just it.
I don't know how to get back in touch with them.
They're calling you? When? Tomorrow night.
I'm supposed to give them a ballpark price on the lot.
No, no, no, no, no.
That's too late.
Well, there was one thing.
Maybe it will help.
What's that? I heard a first name.
Someone in the background said Charlie.
Charlie? Mmm.
Okay, there are hundreds of names on this list, all somehow involved in the rebuilding of the Montecito a year and a half ago.
We're only looking for one Charlie.
Edit, find.
Punch in Charlie.
Don't have to be Bill Gates to figure that one out.
I was just about to do that.
You take care of that rat problem? May she rest in peace.
Don't tell me you got that thing in that box.
The owner wants me to ship her back home.
Here we go.
Charlie Cargerman.
Assistant to the structural engineer.
You pull up anything interesting? You mean besides the fact that she's hot? Oh.
I guess Jordan was right.
Our thief's a skirt.
A broad.
A dame.
Shut up.
Whoa.
Hey, boys.
Hey.
Hey, there's some pretty good stuff here.
Hey, you mind? No.
No, help yourself.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Let's get this one.
Beautiful.
Do you happen to know Greensleeves? I'm very fond of that song.
Son of a bitch.
So, just out of curiosity, how'd you find me, Mr.
D.
? Danny McCoy.
Hey.
Woody, what's up? Nice.
Brad Kern? Yeah, he's back at the hotel.
Why? I'll explain when I get there.
Brad Kern gave me up? I'm on a flight back to Vegas now.
How the hell do you know Brad Kern? All right, I'll see you.
That frigging weasel.
I should've known.
You headed for that audition, Brad? Yeah, actually.
Yeah, I decided to go for it.
I mean, Oliver would have wanted me to try.
Maybe you'd rather use Oliver's violin.
We got it back.
Wow.
Yeah, wow.
Fortunately, Lenny Dean left some DNA behind when he killed your brother.
I didn't I didn't ask him to kill him.
I never wanted that.
No, of course not.
You just tried to hire Lenny to steal your brother's Stradivarius.
Now, isn't that right, Bradford? Everything was about that violin.
Oliver didn't care about where we lived or how we lived.
I just wanted us to have more.
But Oliver wouldn't consider selling it.
That's where Lenny came in.
Steal it.
Force your brother to collect the insurance money.
And you never have to work another day in your life.
Lenny said no.
He wouldn't do it.
Lenny admitted that he told you no.
But he got greedy.
He went back looking for the violin.
It wasn't there.
He thought Oliver was hiding it.
But that violin was with you the whole time.
Mmm-hmm.
And when Lenny said no, you tripped over this other plan.
Your old pal Charlie was building a crew right here in Vegas.
A one-year plan to tunnel in and rob the Montecito, isn't that right? And they invited you in on the heist? Instead of being part of the crew, I made a deal to borrow the Stradivarius and have it stolen on the night of the robbery.
Didn't want to get your string fingers dirty? My brother would still get his insurance money and I would get some back-end cash for myself.
But I I didn't I didn't think anybody would get hurt.
I loved my brother.
Yeah, well, apparently you loved you more.
Let's go.
Narcissists, Danny.
They're everywhere.
You know, I wanna thank you for bringing my ring.
I didn't know y'all could do that.
Yeah, well, it's all about customer service.
Well, I'm definitely coming back here.
You gonna use the rest of that syrup? No.
It's all yours.
Thank you, thank you.
Love syrup.
I love it.
Yeah, hi.
I'm on my way, honey.
Yeah, I love you, too.
DELINDA: Hi, Honey, how was your day? Wow.
Do you like it? Well Bacon, eggs, legs What's not to like? I like it.
I just mixed your stuff and mine.
I mean, a few things had to go, of course.
But it's all about sacrifice.
What about my chair? Sacrificed.
Half my clothes are gone.
Oh.
Winter stuff is in storage.
Hideous stuff is on the garbage man.
Yeah.
Cool.
I love the I love this new bed.
I knew you would.
You wanna try it out? Hmm? I said, "Wanna try it out?"
