Las Vegas s04e16 Episode Script

Previously on Las Vegas.
No, I was thinking about more like kidnapping and robbery.
Daddy! Delinda! Please help me! Said something about a monster whale coming in tonight.
Mr.
Peterson.
Yes.
Sam Marquez from the Montecito.
They want you to testify against your father.
She was always lucky to have a friend like you.
He got off.
I told you if you ever came near her again, I would kill you.
How much for that.
38? I'm looking for Wallace.
Why you calling on me? I need information.
What do I get out of it? I could owe you.
Casey's dead.
It seems he's left you the hotel and casino.
You own the Montecito.
As the new owner of the Montecito, I want to make some changes around here.
Whatever it costs doesn't matter.
I want new carpets everywhere, no reds, no greens.
Green reminds people that they're losing money and I lost my virginity in the backseat of Nick Steinbach's car.
That red Pinto.
But he was hot.
Sam.
Wait there.
Hello, Mr.
Peterson.
Hello, Sam.
You get my flowers? I did, and the car, and the necklace and the room key.
Marry me right now, Sam.
I'll make you the happiest woman in the world.
How much have you lost? Just under two million.
Ask me again at five.
Hmm.
How about dinner tonight? A cocktail? Always keep them begging for more.
Mmm-hmm.
Write that down.
I want new felt on all of these tabletops.
Gold.
Maybe with a picture of my dog Reggie.
And I want a new design on all of these casino chips.
Oh, how about putting an "S" on all of the chips? For Sam.
That's a great idea.
Give yourself a raise.
Thanks.
I'm kidding.
You're fired.
What? I'm just wielding my power.
Play along.
Danny, Mike, I want all the employees to salute me whenever they see me on the casino floor.
Can you see to that? Salute you? Yeah.
Or the boys can salute me and the girls can curtsy.
Like that.
Uh, I don't think that I can I'm just kidding.
I think.
I don't know yet.
Is this fun or what? It is, I think.
Anyways, I'll see you guys later.
Hey, could you guys find out how much it's going to cost to change that big sign out front from "The Montecito" to "The Samecito"? You write that down? Yes.
"The Samecito"? Yeah, she's just drunk with power.
She'll sober up in a few days.
If not we may have to enroll her in "a pain in my ass" anonymous.
Hey, what are you and Delinda doing tonight for dinner? Uh We don't have any plans.
Why? I need a wingman.
More like a wing couple.
I got an old family friend in town for a couple of days and my Aunt Gladys told her I'd take her to dinner while she was here.
Why do you need me and Delinda? Well, I haven't seen her in like Ah.
You slept with her.
No.
No, no, nothing like that.
Then what? Well What? Let's just say, uh She beat me up.
She what? She beat me up.
The great Mike Cannon got his ass kicked by a girl? Not just any girl.
Julia Thomas, this girl was big Iron Mike Cannon? Would you keep it down, man? I got to meet this girl.
What the hell happened between you two? Well, she said I had a peanut head.
So I told her Ooh.
Well, that's just not cool.
You don't say that to girls.
I know this now.
So, when I woke up, all the kids in the neighborhood were laughing at me.
When you woke up? She She knocked you out? Yes.
She knocked you out? Yeah.
It was a lucky punch.
I'm sorry.

You know, don't worry about it.
We'll, we'll go to dinner with you.

Sorry, I'm what? Late.
Sam, get out of my chair.
Now, if I own the hotel, isn't this really my chair? Three Two I can get my own chair.
Sam? What, uh, exactly are you doing here? Well, if I'm going to take the Sam If we're going to take the Montecito to the next level, well, don't you think that I should be more integral in the day-to-day operations? Integral? Hmm.
I see.
Let me explain something to you, Sam.
Uh, casino owners do not run casinos.
Casino Presidents run casinos, because it takes experience, skill.
Relationships, that's what makes a casino work and that's what I do.
That's what you do? Yes.
Yes, it is.
And you You lure rich suckers into the casino to lose millions of dollars.
So, you continue to do that.
And now if you'll excuse me, I've got a lot of work to do.
This conversation is not over.
Yes, it is.
I want you to start wearing suits.
New policy.
Get out.
I'm going to get you a timecard.
This conversation's not over.
What are you eating? I know what you're thinking.
It looks like a corndog, but it's not.
It's a corn burger.
With chili and cheese I think.
It's fantastic.
You want to try? Uh, no.
You don't know what you're missing.
Yeah, I think I do.
Honey, listen.
Has your dad said anything to you? About what? Retiring.
No! And he never will, I mean he doesn't know how do to anything but work.
Oh, you want him to retire.
Don't you think it's my turn to do what I want to do? I've earned that, right? Of course, Mom, but Daddy's never going to leave here.
I mean, what else would he do? Anyhoo, I got to run.
I'm going to surprise Danny with lunch.
Good luck.
Hey.
Oh! Hey.
Danny.
You okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm just a little Fine.
What's up? I just thought you were going to take a few days off.
Spend it with your sisters.
Yeah, it's my own fault.
I booked, uh, two conventions in the same ballroom at the same time.
The meat packers, and the, uh Ah! Meat and magic under one roof.
As it should be.
Yeah.
Yeah, I, I can't believe I double booked.
You know? I don't know where my head's been lately.
You're just under a lot of stress right now.
Everything's going to be great.
I promise.
Mmm-hmm.
Okay.
You let me know if there's anything I can do? I'm fine.
I know you're fine.
Okay, I got to go.
Uh-huh.
Hey! What? I thought that you had the day off.
What are you doing here? Did you just have a corndog? Corn burger.
They're awesome.
Ah.
Anyway, I was just out shopping with my mom and she wanted to come by and talk to my dad so I thought I would surprise you by bringing you lunch.
Corn bacon? No.
And thank you very much.
I got you the Miller sandwich from Canter's.
The Miller? Beautiful! Thank you.
Oh, uh, we're going to dinner tonight with Mikey if that's cool.
What's the occasion? You're not going to believe this, but No.
No.
I'm not kidding you.
Yes! You told her.
You told her.
Huh? Told her what? About Julia.
No.
I told her about dinner.
Hey, sorry.
What time? Oh, good.
I'll see you at home.
Later, Peanut Head.
I She guessed that.
Who guesses Peanut Head? So what's going on? Are we hiring some new security staff? Uh, not that I know of.
Why? Well, there's a couple brothers waiting for you upstairs.
Real gangster types.
They said they had an interview with you.
That's news to me.
I'll take care of it.
You want me up there? No.
No, no, no, but if you could give me Julia's number in case I need her to knock somebody out for me, that would be great.
That's cold, man.
It's only going to get colder.
What are you doing here? Shopping with Delinda and I just thought I'd stop in and say hi.
Really.
Hi.
Okay.
So, uh, what did I do? Nothing.
Is this about the hair in the shower drain.
Because if it is, I told you a hundred times there's nothing I can do about that.
My father happened to be a very hairy guy and it's a gene thing.
So, I mean, blame it on my father.
Ed, it's not about hair in drains.
I just thought maybe we could have a nice conversation about our future.
Our future? Mmm-hmm.
Hey, fellas.
Danny McCoy.
They call me Piper.
Nice to meet you.
And this here's Little Kev.
Little Kev.
What can I do for you? Little Kev here needs a job.
You see he just got out the pen and his punk-ass PO says he needs a job or he's going back.
Oh, well, I'm sorry to hear about that, Little Kev.
But, uh, why are you guys coming to me? Wallace said you could hook it up.
He said you owe him.
Wallace? So you guys work for Wallace? Little Kev is Wallace's cousin.
Now, all he needs is one of those time cards you all work with.
You'll get someone to punch him in and out every day.
And if his PO calls, you just tell him everything's cool.
Listen, guys, my hands are tied here.
I can't just bring an ex-con on to work in a casino.
I ain't going to be doing no work.
Yeah, I get that, really, but there's nothing that I can do.
The state has restrictions about hiring felons in casinos.
I can't do it.
Just tell Wallace it's got to be something else.
I'm sorry.
What Wallace said you were straight.
Ain't going to be happy to hear none of this.
Let's bounce.
Be seeing you soon, McCoy.
Oh.
One more.
Whoa, wait! Hold it.
Hey, you made it.
Oh, hey! Could you hold the elevator? Got room there? Thank you.
Hey, you got room for one more? I got to I got to get out! Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Oh, my God.
Let's go.
Don't move, bitch.
Please, please, just leave.
Get the car.
Now, you tell your boy that Wallace ain't no punk.
And the next time ain't going to be so nice.
You, uh, you okay? I, um Freaked out a little on the elevator.
That happens.
You want to talk about it? Well Hold on.
It's Delinda.
I'll call her back.
Talk to me.
This whole trial has brought everything back.
And I can't shake him, my father.
And every time somebody touches me Anybody I feel him touching me.
And I can't stand it anymore.
Maybe try talking to somebody.
A professional.
There's only one way I'll ever feel safe from him.
Now, don't say that, Mary.
I think that you should talk to somebody.
I could make the appointment for you.
Just tell me that you'll go.
It's not going to help.
I think that it will help.
I'm afraid.
Hey, have I not always been there for you? Always.
That's right.
Since we were kids.
That's right.
Hello.
Well, just keep the kebab skewers away from the magicians and the rabbits away from the meat guys.
I'll be right there.
Meat packers and magicians are fighting for control of the ballroom.
Naturally.
So I got to go.
Yeah, well, call me.
We should talk more about this.
Yeah.
Thank you.
All right.
Bye bye.

Will you listen to me? I am sick of having dinner all alone.
I am sick of sleeping on the couch and trying to figure out if you're going to come home or not.
For God sakes, Ed, our daughter was kidnapped! Really? You don't think I know that? You don't think I'd rather play golf every day? Wake up late, come home early and be with my family? Then why don't you? Because this is This is what I'm really good at.

Hi.
Great! It's about time.
Okay, I know exactly what I want to do and I want you guys to write this down.
You're not writing.
Why aren't you writing? Miss Marquez, we're with the Internal Revenue Service.
Oh, those hookers were a business expense.
I have the receipts.
We're not here about that, ma'am.
We're here to inform you that as the new owner of the Montecito, you have acquired certain debts accrued by the former owner, Mr.
Casey Manning.
Debts? What kind of debts? Well, Mr.
Manning used the Montecito as collateral in a number of real estate and business transactions.
He chose to defer paying taxes on those transactions until the 15th of this month.
Okay, fine.
So Casey owes taxes.
What are we talking about? No.
The taxes are on his holdings.
And now, since they're your holdings, with penalties and late fees, you owe the government $241 million and change.
$241 million? And change.
If you are unable to pay these taxes within the next seven days, the IRS will have no choice but to seize the Montecito and all the assets attached to it.
If you have any questions, feel free to call us.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Have a nice day.
Damn it, Casey! You mean to tell me you make a deal with this Vegas gang lord, you tell him, "I owe you one," and then you stiff him? I was trying to save a friend's life.
What about Delinda's? I never thought that it was Well, that's your problem.
You're not thinking a lot these days! You know what? Back off! I made a mistake and I'll A mistake? She had a gun at her head! A gun at her head! She's barely getting over this kidnapping thing.
No, no.
No, no And she had a gun at her head! She got kidnapped because of you, not because of me.
Now, you've got to believe me when I tell you that there is nothing more important to me than your daughter's safety.
Nothing.
All right.
Look, she's going to stay with us, for a little while until we can figure this thing out.
No, Ed.
No.
Listen, I'm not I'm not asking you, Danny.
Now, tomorrow a bunch of guys are going to come over.
They're going to wire this place for alarms.
And then we'll talk after that.
Well, I want to see her.
No.
Just go back to work and we'll talk tomorrow! Now, where can I get this Wallace guy? No.
He's mine.
Ed.
I said that I got it.

All this could be yours for only $241 million and change.
Yes, Miss Marquez? Connect me to Vince Peterson's room please? He just checked out of his suite.
He's what? He just checked out.
Vince.
Where are you going? I'm leaving.
I can't take the pain of not having you anymore, Sam.

What's that? You have dinner with me.
I'd be honored.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
JULIA: So Vegas Yeah.
So, I came back to Vegas and it just felt right.
The excitement of it all.
Felt like I belonged here.
Well, it fits you.
Thank you.
You know, when you get some time off, you should come visit me in LA.
I'd like that.
Yeah.
Me too.
Yeah.
So, Mr.
Mike Cannon.
Mmm.
When did you get so fine? Me? Please.
When did all of this happen? Well, I guess I just grew into my body.
That is for sure.
Here you go.
For you.
Thank you.
So, would you like to? Like to what? Grow into this body? Check! How's Delinda? She's sleeping.
I don't want her going back to that condo.
That's okay, honey.
Look, I got security wiring that joint tomorrow like, like it was Fort Knox.
I don't care.
I want her here with us.
Okay, look, it's been a really long day.
Why don't you just get some sleep.
We'll talk about it tomorrow.
No, Ed.
We're going to talk about it right now.
All this crap.
All of it, the kidnapping, the break-in, happens because of what you do, and who you are.
What the hell are you talking about? "Who I am"? I mean, it's my fault? Yes, Ed.
It's your fault.
First the CIA, now this? I mean, why are we here? Answer me that.
Why are we still in Vegas? It's our home.
No, Ed.
This is not a home.
This is some kind of rest stop between you and that damn casino.
Hey, what do you think I bust my ass for every single day? For you! And that "damn casino" didn't bother you too much when you got your cars and your clothes and the houses.
Where do you think that crap comes from? None of that matters to me, Ed.
You and Delinda.
That's all I care about.
What would you like me to do? I want you to leave that job, so we can leave this damn city behind and start over.
I just can't do that.
Where you going? I'm sleeping with Delinda.
I'm tired of sleeping in that bed alone.
That was incredible.
I can't feel my feet.
So how is it that a man as fine as you, and as sweet as you, managed to stay single all this time? Well, I guess I was always waiting for the right girl to come along.
Oh, she came along all right.
Twice.
So, you think you got anything left in that cannon, Cannon? Oh, hell, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That feels so good, Peanut Head.
What? What's wrong? You just called me Peanut Head.
So? Well, my head don't look like no damn peanut.
Mmm, but it does.
Well, what if I said your weave made you look like a ho? A ho? That's right, a ho.
See, I'm not a little kid anymore.
And I sure as hell ain't no damn peanut head.
Is that what this is about, Mike? Some silly fight we had when we were kids? That you never apologized for.
Know what, Julia? Maybe you should leave.
Mike.
My room.
Fine, I'm gone.
Mike.
Mike, don't leave.
Mike, I'm sorry.
Sorry for what? I'm sorry for calling you Peanut Head.
And I'm sorry for hitting you and I'm sorry for never saying sorry.
But just so you know, I called you Peanut Head because I think your head is beautiful.
And I hit you because I had the worst crush on you.
And I never said sorry because you'd always run away from me.
You think my head is beautiful? Uh-uh, I think it's perfect.
You really had a crush on me? The worst.
Still do.
But if you ever call me a ho again, I'm going to knock your ass out.
I didn't expect to see your ass around here any time soon.
It's over.
I want to hear you say it.
Nothing's over till Wallace says it is.
No, it's over.
And hear this.
Any of you guys come near my girlfriend again, I will kill all of you.
So now you're coming down here making threats and such, huh? You got some giant, big balls on you, McCoy.
You see, normally someone do me like you did, they don't wake up ever.
And that goes for anybody in the house with them.
I made an exception for you.
But don't think for one moment that means it's over 'cause you say.
Then what makes it done? Say ten large.
To the "United Negro Ain't Never Been To College" fund.
You will not get a dime from me, dude.
Or we could just beat you down.
And that makes this done? That's what that makes it.
Like I said, giant, big balls.
Beat that ass.
There are sensors on all the doors and windows that are monitored This is a GPS panic button.
If at any time you think you need help, just press this button.
We'll come to you no matter where you are.
Okay.
Any questions? No.
If you need anything, you just call me.
Thank you, Jack.
You're welcome.
Thanks.
You changed the locks.
Oh, my God, Danny, what happened to you? I had to take care of some unfinished business.
Business? What the hell kind of business? Just Are you okay? Yeah, yeah.
What have you done? I'm going to call the doctor.
No, no.
Listen, D, I promise that I'm never going to let anything like that happen to you again.
I love you and you're all that matters to me.
I love you too.
I hope so.
I'm going to go call the doctor.
Yeah.
Please do.
I'll be back in two weeks.
Can't wait.
Me neither.
Is it me or do we have something here? We definitely have something here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Two weeks.
Yep.
Hi.
Hi.
I'm here with a proposition.
Uh Not now, Sam.
Oh, please just hear me out.
I know I'm a smart businesswoman, but I'm also smart enough to know my limitations.
So? Okay.
So here it is.
How would you like to be my copartner in the Montecito for only 300 million? Only 300 million? Yeah.
It's a bargain.
I mean this hotel and casino's worth at least ten times that amount.
Right.
I tell you what though.
Why wouldn't I just wait a week until the IRS seizes this place and then I can buy it in private auction for about half of what you're offering? Is that a no? Yeah.
It's certainly not personal, Sam.
Business.
You know I'm not going to let the IRS take this hotel.
They're not.
I am.
It's a beautiful day, Mitch.
You okay? You look taller.
Life is good, my friend.
Life is good.
Yeah? So why'd they page me? Well, we had some sort of camera glitch in the south elevator bank.
All the cameras in the elevator cars went out for a little over three minutes.
Three minutes? Mmm-hmm.
But they're back on? Yeah.
We're fine now.
Electrical says it was some sort of overload.
Okay.
Well, keep an eye on it.
Let me know if it happens again.
It's a beautiful day, folks! I'm so glad you decided to stay.
You have no idea.
Did you mean it when you said you'd like to make me the happiest woman in the world? You know I did.
I'd do anything for you, Sam.
What if what I wanted was big? Really, really big? There is nothing outside of my reach that you cannot have.
What is it that you want? Do you know I was left this hotel? Unfortunate about your ex-husband, yeah.
Yes.
I was also left with a mountain of debt.
And if I can't pay the money, the government's going to take this hotel from me.
And so you would like me to pay off this $241-million debt? How did you know that number? Sam, my world is finance.
No number that large escapes my radar.
So what do you think? I think I just bought you a hotel.
Really? Mmm.
You're kidding.
Like I said, anything you want.
A toast.
To a beautiful partnership.
To a beautiful partnership.
Whoo! That really goes right to your head.
What did you put in there? Just hit this button right here.
You'll have total surveillance access to the whole place.
Oh, that's great.
Thanks a lot, huh, Jack? All right, Mr.
Deline.
What the hell happened to you? Wallace.
It's done.
I took care of it just like I said I would.
It's over.
You all right? I'm fine.
Look, um I'm sorry I blew up at you like that.
You know? You know what? It's all right.
I do need you to understand something.
Delinda and I are going to need some space to live our lives.
To make mistakes, to have fights.
You know, basically just be a couple.
What's your problem? Well, you and Jillian can be suffocating.
She's my daughter.
You know.
I just Yeah, I know.
And I know it's been a tough year, but this relationship's never going to work under this kind of scrutiny.
Okay.
Tell you what.
We'll, uh We'll back off.
Thank you, Ed.
Okay.
So, we're Yeah.
Yeah, we're fine.
All right.
Good.
Go home, please.
Clean yourself up just a little.
Hey, D.
Hi, baby.
You feeling better? Yeah.

Had a little chat with your dad.

How'd it go? Well, he said he's going to back off.
Heard that before.
No.
I think that he really means it.
Great.

Is that right, Tommy Boy? Well, okay.
I'll tell you what.
I'll give you a little bump.
How's that? Ed, how you going to do that? The word is Casey got whacked because he was leveraged to the gills.
Now, the Montecito is being foreclosed on.
Everybody's going to lose their job.
Ed, I got kids in college.
Do what you got to do, okay? But listen to me.
I'm going to wind up buying this joint outright.
Okay? So that's how it's going to be? We'll talk later.
You made your choice.
It's not like that, Jillian.
Yeah, it is like that, Ed.
So, I'm making my choice.
Jillian.
