Las Vegas s05e04 Episode Script

The pills are working.
So I guess I don't need any help anymore.
You know.
Then why are you here? Well, it's our last session.
So I, uh Just thought I'd Stop by and say good bye.
So good bye.
Pills are a band-aid, Sam.
If you don't deal with the underlying truma, there will be repercussions later.
Yeah, I know, post traumatic stress disorder.
I mean, how many times a week are you gonna go over that? You still haven't talked about what happened on the plane.
You might think you're functioning now but this could have long-term consequences.
Could you just tell me, does this psychobable actually work on anyone.
Do you have any stats I can read on this crap? I actually have to get back to work.
So thank you for everything.
I'm not refilling your prescription.
That's fine.
Just send me your final bill.
Hey, you.
Hey! Good morning.
Double windsor? Yeah.
Yeah, I wanted to look more authoritative for my first day in front of the department heads.
You might wanna reconsider the milk mustache.
Here, let me you know how I've been having those cravings for bacon cheeseburgers with extra pickles, and nothing else will satisfy me? Yeah.
Well, today, I woke up with a Whole new craving.
Really? What's that? You.
Do me, baby.
Do me.
I don't wanna be late for my first day.
- What? - I gotta go.
- What? - I love you.
And I love you.
How did you manage to pull a multimillion dollar event away from the Bellagio? Gabe Gillian.
Gabe Gillian as in pacific tropic's ceo.
He has a ranch down the road from mine in Wyoming.
- I called him up.
- Just like that.
Just like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Little thing.
I just have to say, the bikini contest Inspired.
Good idea.
I didn't bring this contest here for the girls.
I brought it here to make a lot of money for my casino.
Nice shot.
And your plan's working.
We're booked solid through the week end.
Play's up 60% from last year.
Well, we only have one chance to convince Gillian not to take his contest back to the Bellagio.
So make sure everything runs smoothly.
Absolutely.
Those things are so filled with silicone, you could use those as oven mitts.
Definitely real.
They like jell-o a trampoline.
What are you talking about? They're too symmetrical.
They're enormous! - Bet ya a hundred they're real.
- Easy money.
Nice suit.
Thank you.
Is today your Barmitzvah? You know, it's after sunrise.
Shouldn't you be in your crypt.
No, I had a whale check out at 4:00 this morning.
I figured I'd ju stick around and wait for my next one.
How's everything with, uh I'm sorry Do you and Delinda ever talk about things that are actually important in the world? Or you just talk about my problems? Pretty much just your problems.
Okay, good to know.
Hey, get some sleep.
Sleep when I'm dead.
Barry! Hi, Sam.
You ready to hit the tables, check out some bikinis? Actually, I was thinking about hitting bikinis, then maybe checking out the tables.
Give it up for our tenth and final finalist in the pacific tropic spokes model search.
From Westville, Oklahoma, let's hear it for Kelly Crever! Isn't she a hottie? Very nice! Very nice! Sam, is this great or what? Hey, you okay? Sure.
Yeah? - Yeah.
- I'm okay.
What do we have here? Hey, Kelly, that the way to play the game.
Hey, hey, hey.
Back off.
Back off.
Hey, man, watch your hands! Watch your hands, brother! Someone help! Which brings us to the third quarter, during which our linen budget ran over by 5,75%.
Breaking down into a 3,25% increase in hand towels and wash clothes and a 1% increase built cases and dust ruffles.
Okay.
Exciting.
Good job.
I look forward to signing that new purchase order for those new mattress pads Good work.
Uh, Lou, maintenance.
This is just preliminary.
Ah, Sam Marquez.
Hey, I.
.
I need you come with me.
I saw something out by the pool.
I'm kind of in the middle of something here.
If you'd like to make anppointment with Andrea, my assistant.
I saw a stabbing.
Two bees.
But nudity on stage creates liability and safety issues.
This wasn't just some ward robe malfunction.
Why would I risk a million dollar contract with pacific tropic by pulling some ridiculous stunt? I mean, my bikini top was burning me.
Look.
Oh, yeah, they, uh They do look swollen.
It smells weird.
Yeah.
I'll tell you what, I'm gonna check into this, see what's going on.
Oh, you might wanna close that up.
Get a chest cold.
You have any enemies? Uh, you mean besides the other 25 contestants who want the million dollar prize? Right.
Right.
Well, this is the finalist's suite.
I'll have your stuff brought up, okay? Oh, and I might have to come back for your bikini bottoms to use as a baseline for a chemical test.
Here.
I should really get on that.
In this.
Look into this.
Look into this.
Um, do you want your jacket? No worries! I'll.
.
I'll grab it later.
Okay.
Good bye.
I'm thinking maybe we got our signals crossed earlier.
I'd assumed you understood we were hosting a spokes model search, not a soccer riot.
Isolated incident, sir.
But I am on top of it.
I mean I'm all over it.
I'll take care of it.
I think You dropped these.
If this is gonna be a problem All due respect, I take this promotion very seriously.
Mike Cannon ll not be mixing business with pleasure.
I give you my word on that.
It's not your word I'm worried about, Mike.
And I hope you have other jacket.
- Did anyone else see anything? - I don't know.
There's no blood or any signs of a struggle here.
- Well, I know what I saw.
- What did they look like? She was blond.
He was big.
That describes half of Veg Where are we going? I'm gonna check playback.
It must be so great to eat whatever you want.
I totally envy pregnant women.
You can just get as fat as you want and totally let yourself go.
You think I'm letting my self go? Oh, no.
- Hey! - Hey.
Baby, I thought you were in a meeting.
I was, but we're on our way What do you say we, uh, go upstairs and christen the new office? Uh, I have a bit of an emergency right now.
- So do I.
- Oh.
Oh, okay.
- Quickly in the service elevator? - No, I can't go.
I can't.
I gotta go.
I'm sorry.
But but Bye bye.
I don't kown about pungent, but maybe a little tangy.
I don't even want know.
We got a little bit of a problem, Danny.
Looks like somebody's trying to knock one of the girls out of the spokes model competition.
I got a bigger problem right now Mitch, will you pull up that event footage for me? - What's going on? - There was a stabbing.
- What? - A possible stabbing.
How come you didn't call me? Hello? That's it.

We'll send her right up, sir.
All I'm saying is you should have called.

What's the plan? Mike and I are gonna go inside.
You're gonna wait out here.
Plan "b.
" Yes? Mr.
Powell, I'm Danny McCoy, President of Operations here at the Montecito.
Mike Cannon, head of surveillance and security.
- This is Sam.
- Do you mind if we come in for just a moment, please? Of course.
Is, uh Is something wrong? Where is she? Where's who? It appeared on our surveillance cameras that your wife may have been feeling a little unwell earlier this afternoon? We just wanted to make sure that everything was okay.
Yeah my wife had a little too much to drink.
She is not feeling well.
Okay If we could just have a quick word with her? Maybe later.
Now's not a good time.
I'm sorry, Mr.
Powell, but it would make me feel much better if I could just speak to her myself.
I I put her in the shower to see if could bring her around.
Rita, I think you've had enough.
Oh, my god, somebody hit you with the handsome stick, didn't they? Oh, but you.
You too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Mrs.
Powell, are you okay? Oh, I have never been better in my life.
All right then.
Sounds like everything's okay here.
Sorry! So that's it? A woman gets stabbed, you don't do anything about it? Nobody got stabbed, Sam.
You saw Mrs.
Powell.
She was fine.
So what about you? You want me to help you! Out with this pacific tropics thing? No, no.
I just gotta wait for background checks - on the contestants.
- What? Plus I'm sure you got all kinds of good stuff on your plate With operations and what not? Yeah, yeah.
How's that going? - Great.
Fantastic.
- I'll bet, I'll bet.
Well, I'll leave you to it, then.
All right.
All right.
Danny, listen to me.
I know what I saw.
So if you're not gonna do something about it, maybe I should just try to get somebody You misinterpreted what you saw.
Okay? You saw a flash of metal.
You thought it was a knife.
No big deal.
I did not misinterpret what I saw.
- I don't have time for this.
- What do you have to do? I have an important meeting with the bartenders.
Just forget about the Powells right now and go back to work, okay? Or better yet, go get some sleep.
What if she wasn't drunk, Danny? What if she was in shock? Maybe he did something to stop the blood.
She stank like a brewery.
She was drunk.
Sam.
Been looking all over for you.
I thought we we gonna play some craps aft Barry, this is really It's not a good time right now.
Oh, so the Montecito's not interested in taking my money any more.
I'm just kidding.
Let's go get you a table.
That's right give it to me.
That's how I want it.
Here it come's.
Thank you, Mr.
Cooper.
Drinking for two, I see.
Just needed a little something sweet.
Thank you.
You just, uh, tipped her a 20.
I'm out of 50's.
So how you doing? Can't be easy working these kind of hours in the first trimester of a pregnancy.
I'm good.
I'm just really, really horn hor hormon.
Hormonal.
I know this may be a little personal, but I really need an objective male opinion.
Do you think I'm attractive? I mean, you know, compared to those bikini girls.
Oh, you've got it all over them, Delinda.
I've always preferred women who don't look like they're trying too hard.
Not trying.
Hmm.
Escuse me.
Okay, Barry, let's, uh take a little break.
Are you kidding me, Sam? I could play all day.
Yeah, but we could get some, uh, lunch.
Or a hooker.
What? You're kinda hot.
Ahem.
Kinda? Yeah! Did you see that, Sam? - Piper, come with me.
- Sam? - Mitch.
- Yes.
Where's Mike? Pacific tropic competion.
I need him.
You know, Sam, now that Mike's the new head of surveillance and security, technically, I'm the new Mike.
So these hands right here, they can kinda go anywhere Mike's can.
I mean on the computer.
Yeah.
Can you pull up everything on James and Rita Powell? You know, uh, if this is gonna be a regular thing, you might wanna discuss some kinda quid pro quo arrangement.
Okay.
How about you do exactly what I say in exchange for me not pushing you out a window? Okay.
Uh 15 years of marriage.
She is the headmaster at St.
Augustine prep in Philly.
He's won a few mid-level golf tourneys here in Vegas.
She runs the garden society.
There's not a speeding ticket between the two of 'em.
Sam? you'd like on a desert island? Only three items.
Okay.
A bible.
So that I can remember to give thanks for all the blessings bestowed on me.
A composting bin that I can exist without any environmental impact.
And pacific tropic suntan lotion for a safe and sexy island tan.
How about that? Thank you, Kelly! I don't know anything about what happened to Kelly's bikini top.
Well I did a background check, Ms.
Rodriguez, and apparently you didn't major in dance therapy like you said on your entry form.
In fact, you graduated with an honors degree in advanced chemistry.
I'm sorry.
Your name was? Cannon.
Mike Cannon.
What do you say, you come up to my room, and we'll settle this between ourselves? I didn't do it.
Housekeeping.
Were you just in my room? I was just looking for you.
I- I was just about to knock.
And I wanted to come by and just apologize again for earlier and offer you and your wife a Credit line.
Maybe get you some Elton John tickets.
Thank you.
That would be very nice.
Yes, well, if the's anything else I can do to make your stay more enyable, please don't hes Danny.
Excuse me.
Then she just appears again.
I'm telling you, Mr.
McCoy, I've never been ditched by a casino host in my entire life.
Mr.
Bertowski, I apologize.
I'm sure Sam's got a perfectly good explanation for all this.
Isn't that right, Sam? Yes.
I found a head in the palace suite.
And at's not it.
Uh Could you give us a few minutes? We'll get right back to you.
We have a head.
Under their bed.
Okay, that's it.
That's it.
I'm gonna assign your whale to another host while you go get some sleep.
No, no, no.
I don't need any sleep.
I'm fine.
Sam, I know that you've been seeing a shrink for panic attacks from that whole Vince Petersen episode and that you're taking prescribed medicine Is there anything Linda's not telling you? - Go get some sleep.
- Okay.
Don't wanna hear another word about the Powells.
Okay, you won't.
Okay.
- What about this one? - Trampy? No.
I think the one that you have on is better for Then we'll have to keep looking.
Okay, I think you misinterpreted what I said about letting yourself go.
No.
You were right.
I'll spend t afternoon at the spa getting sloughed off, blown out, and waxed in places that would make a gynecologist blush.
So let's just find me a dress that'll get me plowed like a rice paddy, okay? Plowed like a rice paddy.
Okay.
Wow! This dress has "whore" written all over it.
Ooh.
Perfect.
You are leaving me fully exposed to a lawsuit, Cooper.
Okay, Mike thinks one of your contestants might have had something to do with this.
You're kidding me, right? Ms.
Rodriguez has a chemistry background which she misrepresented on her entry form.
Kelly crever's bikini top had a burning chemical applied to it.
You're not kidding me.
No, sir.
With million dollar spokes model contract at stake, I'm surprised it hasn't happened before.
And the girl who broke her leg beat Ms.
Rodriguez out last year at another contest.
So she probably considers her her chief competition.
Your contest rules are specific about falsifying information.
They are? Why dot you let Mike handle this? Okay.
But it gotta be done quickly.
I'll take care of it.
You gotta go.
You have to go.
You narced on me.
After I was gonna let you tie me up and spank me.
Well, Mr.
Gillian asked me to escort you from the purmises.
I'll feel sick.
Well, owning up to the consequences of our actions can sometimes be unpleasant Ms.
Rodriguez.
No, really sick.
Bathroom.
Ooh! Wait.
Ms.
Rodriguez, stalling will only delay the inevitable.
- Ladies - Excuse me! Ladies My stomach! Ladies, what Ladies? Drinkin' on the job? I'm off duty.
I didn't fige you for a nine to fiver.
Yeah.
I had a few problems today.
Well, I'm your boss.
Your problems are my problems.
Here you go.
Is that so? Have you ever thought you were right about something And everyone else told you you were wrong? You care to elaborate? No.
Well, when I was trying to buy this place, I had about ten financial advisors who told me to run for my life.
So why'd you do it? Because if I think I'm right, I trust my instincts.
You should do the same.
I'd like to report a murder.
That is ridiculous.
What? A head under my bed.
In a duffel bag.
Do you mind if we take a look? It isn't necessary.
What are you doing here? Responding to report of a murder, McCoy.
Seems like murders happen monthly at the Montecito.
Is that your new slogan? She's right.
There's a duffel here.
That's my husband's bag.
And he's not gonna be back for a couple of hours.
Can we open it? Yeah, sure.
It's a bowling ball.
It's my husband's birthday gift.
I heard that you had a bowling alley suite here.
Some president of operations you are, McCoy.
Ma'am, we're very sorry about this.
You know, I would like to know what your employee was doing in my room, under my bed in the first place.
Yeah, that's cald invasion of privacy, McCoy.
You're absolutely right, Mrs.
Powell.
I- I saw the head.
It it was in there.
There was blond hair and blood.
It was wrapped in plastic.
Like the bowling ball.
Yeah, but it was a head.
They must have cuwho up.
Cuwho up? I don't know.
Ms.
Marquez, why don't you step out in the hall with detective Franklin and let us get to the bottom this? Please Just go.
She's been taking some medication lately McCoy.
Get out.
I know.
I'm the crazy person.
I will be outside.
I promise you we'll make this right.
What were you thinking, Sam? You can't call the police without talking to me first.
I tried talking to you.
You weren't very receptive.
Receptive to what? A murder victim that's alive? A head that turns out to be a bowling ball? Sam, I barely convinced these people not to sue our asses.
I can't be running around all day baby-sitting you, trying to convince your whales not to run off to some other casino.
I'not asking you to run around all day and do anything Or, you know, to bail you out of jail for urinating in public.
Now you're gonna bring that up? I'm at a rave, I had to pee.
What am I suposed to do? - Just get it together.
- I have it together! Go to your suite, and don't come out until the Powells are gone.
Listen to me.
Don't you ever tell me to go to my suite.
You're not my dad.
I'm your boss! If you bother these people again, you're out.
- You wouldn't fire me.
You're too much of a - Get out.
Danny, I'm gonna need you to sign off on my maintenance report.
- No problem, Lou.
- By tomorrow morning.
So the girls who got sick put sun-tan lotion on during the meet and gree.
And? And something in the lotion affected them transdermally.
And with Carmen out of the competion, could be anyone.
- You might wanna consider bringing in metro.
- Mike, Pacific Tropic paid us millions in sponsor fees.
We'd better make damn sure it isn't sunstroke before we go public claiming their product makes people sick.
Okay.
Well, I sent the bikini top and lotion to a lab.
- We'll get the results back in the morning.
- Well, we just need one winner, Mike.
The is something else you might wanna consider What's that? That this has nothing to do with the competion.
Someone is just trying to make you look bad.
Then you better make sure that doesn't happen.
Cushion for the pushin' here! Come on, sir.
Come on! I think I'm losing my mind.
Take a breath and slow down.
I'm not sure if you understand what I'm talking about.
I can't tell the difference between what's real and what's not real.
Sam do you have any of the medication left? - Yes.
- Okay, take one, go lie down, and go to sleep.
I will see you first thing in the morning.
Ok I'll see you tomorrow.
- Hi Mike.
- Hi Mikey.
- Hi Mike.
- Pillow fight! - Oh.
It's you.
- We thought we heard something.
- Oh, no.
It's just me.
Holdin' down the fort.
You know, Mike, you don't have to stay out there in the hall all night.
You can come inside - and get more comfortable instead.
- Oh that's okay.
I'm I'm I'm fine here.
You know, but if someone's really targeting us, shouldn't you be inside where you can see us? Just in case Yeah! Let's get back inside where it's more safe.
All work and no play makes Danny a dull boy.
- Wow, honey, you look - Plowable? Yeah! I made dinner reservations.
But since you had to work late, I thought Maybe you prefer to Eat in.
Oh, really? Oh, baby.
Oh, you're on my report, baby.
Sorry.
I don't know how your dad kept up with all this stuff.
I thought he just mostly, you know, barked orders and beat people up.
You sound stressed.
Yeah.
A little bit.
What's this? You know, you're the perfect woman.
How'd I get so lucky? Oh, I'm worried about Sam.
She's not acting like herself.
Which, you know, under most circumstances, would be a good thing.
It's gonna take her a little time to get back to normal.
Or "Sam normal.
" Yeah.
But she's never blown off client before.
Sam blew off a whale? Yeah.
Mmm.
That doesn't sound like her.
I'm sure she - had a good reason.
- Yeah.
You know? I know just what you need - to relax.
- Oh, yeah? And what's that? - Uh, baby? - What? I got a lot goin' on here.
You know, you don't find me attractive, you should stop making lame excuses.
Just say it, Danny.
Miss Marquez, housekeeping.
I'm coming in.
Hey.
Heard you were sent to your room last night without any supper, so - I brought you this.
- I don't eat breakfast.
Thought this might come in handy.
So the rumor around the casino is you've glast your marbles.
Yeah, well maybe I have.
Thank you.
It's starting to feel like a family around here.
So, Sam, what's going on? It's not important, the Powells are checking out today.
There's nothing I can do about it now.
James and Rita Powell? Ugh.
They tried to hit me up up last night for a threesome.
They thought I was a hooker.
Yeah? Well, that just means he's a creep, not a murder.
Well, I can tell you this.
If James Powell is a killer, he is the most relaxed murder I've ever heard of.
He had a late game of golf last night, had a leisurely dinner at the restaurant, and then he hit up the golf course again this morning.
He played golf last night and this morning? He said he's not very good, so he doesn't like to play around a lot of people.
Sam! - What are you doing in so early? - I never went home.
Yeah, me either.
Spent the night in the Pacific Tropic suite with three half-naked girls huddling next to me for protection.
And the problem is? Well, believe me, under the circumstances, it was a nightmare.
I told Cooper I wouldn't go anywhere near that.
- So - All right.
Sit.
Sit down, sit down,sit down.
Take a seat.
It's good to have you back.
It's good to be back.
What are you doin'? Okay, if Sam was right, the victim had to enter the room at some point, right? But we only have the Powells on camera.
- And then the alleged head was already there.
- Or the alleged mrs.
Powell.
We couldn't get a visual on her when she was passed out.
What if that's not Rita Powell? What if Rita Powell was already in the room? Let's see who had the room before the Powells.
We got a match.
Damn.
Sam was right I'm gonna get her up here.
Late reports are in.
Thank you.
Here ce went straight to voice mail, I'm gonna try her suite.
"chemicals on the bikini top and in the sun-tan lotion was glyphosphate and allidochlor.
" "it's an agriculture pesticide and herbicide used mostly on farms" "in the midwest.
" Come on, Sam, answer your phone.
Come on, Sam, pick up.
Look at that.
Kelly Crever.
Farm girl from Oklahoma.
She targeted herself first.
- That was a good move.
- She's not answering.
She wasn't supposed to leave her suite.
So you saw me coming out of your room.
That's how you knew to switch the head with the bowling ball? - I don't know what you're talking about.
- She was a hooker.
She was blackmailing you.
So then you had your wife change into her clothes once you got her back up to your suite.
Then all you had to do was get rid of the body parts.
Which you did by carrying them in your golf bag, and tossing them into the pond.
She was trying to ruin our lives.
She threatened to call the school I worked for.
Oh, right, right, so this is the part where you're gonna get all scooby doo on me, right? And tell me that you're sure you would have gotten away with it if it hadn't have been for that one pesky little witness? No, Sam.
From what I understand, the witness had emotional problems - And she drowned herself.
- Mr.
Powell.
Drop it.
You okay? - Hi.
- Sam.
I need to tell you what happened on the airplane.
Oh.
I think I borrowed your body oil by mistake, Becky.
What's in this one, Kelly, something to make someone sick or maybe cause a rash? - I don't know what you're talking about.
- No? Put some on - Uh-uh! Wait.
No.
Don't.
- These bitches always win! - Yeah.
Little help.
Reach in my pocket and grab my cell, please.
- I got it! - Hey, jacket pocket.
Inside my jacket, ladies.
And the winner of this year's Pacific Tropic crown is the lovely Becky Kargerman! How about a big hand for Becky, everybody? Nice work, Mike.
I got your back, Coop.
per.
Sir.
- Just cooper.
- Cooper.
I have no idea what the hell i'm doin' here.
- Exscuse me? - The casino thing.
I don't have a clue.
Really? Yeah, really.
Let's just keep that between us.
Code of silence.
Since we're opening up to each other, what does the A.
J.
stand for? So you never really found yourself tempted? No, sir.
Heard you loud and clear.
All business, right? No, Mike.
This is fun.
Hey, what about that one? Flotation devices with nipples.
Doubler nothing.
- Uh, sure.
You got it.
- Yes! Hey.
Hey.
Even though you may not be as as crazy as we all thought you might be, just want you to know if you need to take any time for vacation, go ahead.
Oh, vacation time.
Mmm.
Vacations are for the weak.
Aah! Piper! Hey.
You know what you said last night, you know that's not true, right.
I think you're more beautiful than ever.
You're glowing.
You're voluptuous.
You smell like meat.
I'm sorry if it feels like I've been pushing you away.
I don't get it.
If you're so attracted to me, why don't you want to make love to me anymore? Because of this.
I just don't want to do anything that's gonna hurt the baby.
Like what? I don't knowgive the baby a black eye or something? No offense, Danny, but even you don't have a chance of getting anywhere near that baby until you're holding it in the delivery room.
So is that offer still good to christen my office? - Can I eat my cheeseburger first? - Can you take it with you? - Can order a milkshake? - Extra whipped cream.
