Las Vegas s05e05 Episode Script

After the week we had, Cooper schedules a meeting at 8:00.
You know he fired wolfgang.
I heard he quit.
Something about strudel.
Still, he brings us in at 8:00 for that? What's the matter, Mikey? You Miss your beauty rest? Please, if Mike Cannon looked any more sharp, the women of Las Vegas would go blind.
What I'm missing is breakfast.
Oh, oh, oh, that reminds me.
Here.
Be careful with that.
Okay? - Try to keep it safe as long as you can.
- What? It's a parenting exercise.
Uh, last time I checked, I ain't the baby daddy.
Just do me a favor and try to keep that thing from breaking as long as you can.
Okay, if you do, I promise you'll win something very big.
Big like breakfast? Bigger.
Bigger.
Like something nobody else in the Montecito has.
As of now this egg's as safe as if it was the last one on earth.
This is Coco.
This is Ralph.
Ralph? Lauren.
Coco Channel.
I named Mine Eddie, after daddy.
See, I even gave him that little scruff right there.
Cute.
Wow, when the hormones hit, they really hit, huh? It's not the hormones, Sam.
Both of you might have to help with the baby sometime in case there's an accident or a disaster Last minute concert tickets.
I just need to know you can handle it.
So now each of us gets an egg.
okay, I'm in only if I can change the name to Corey Bohan.
X- game king, hello! Hot Australian.
All right, whatever, whatever.
- Sam.
- What? Uh, I'm sorry.
What's the prize? - How much is it worth? - Priceless.
So cheap? You just wait.
The maternal instinct might surprise you.
Hmm.
Okay.
Oh! What a surprise! Is that what I think it is? Well, if by that, you mean, "a revolutionary addition to Montecito surveillance and security," then yes, it is.
The all-new Mike Cannon snagger.
Gotcha.
I remember you pitched that to me and Cooper a couple of weeks ago.
Uh-uh, that was the protype.
This baby's version 2.
0.
Which means it'll actually work this time? - It works some of the time.
- Last time it sorta caught fire in my hand.
It's a minor circuitry flaw, which has since been addressed.
Now you pull the trigger, and a thumbnail sized projectile embedded with an rfid will shoot out and adhere to anything.
Wood, fabric, metal with minimal impact.
Unnoticed yet traceable for up to ten miles.
Yeah, I just Keep it away from me.
I hate that thing.
It almost blew up in my hand last time.
You're not gonna let that go, are you? You still got your hands.
Whatever happened to the other thing you were working on? The, uh, the mp3 player cell phone holster, ab blaster thing? - You mean the Cannon utility belt? - Yeah.
Still being tested.
- Cy, Beth.
- Sam! How's our favorite macher? Kvelling over this bar mitzvah is how.
Stop.
You stop.
This is Delinda.
She's gonna be taking care of the food and entertainment.
Delinda, this is Cy Lipshitz.
He is "the brisket king of Long Island.
" And this is his beautiful wife Beth.
Oh, nice to meet you both.
A pleasure.
Now, I have been all over the ballroom yesterday and this morning, so you guys will have plenty of time to enjoy the casino.
Yes, about that, uh - Sam.
- Yeah.
This is beautiful.
I need the trip.
We needed the bar mitzvah.
You put it together.
But I want something more.
Eight hours uninterrupted.
So I can win back what I lost last time.
- You got it.
- Someone to help the wife with the party.
Someone keep Hershel happy, but I don't wanna be interrupted.
- Sure.
- We're beautiful? We're beautiful.
Now where is that young man? Oh, uh Oh, here he comes now.
Oh, he looks a little old for a bar mitzvah.
Oh no, doll.
That's Steve, uh, something.
He's with the band.
Oh.
That's our son.
- 8:00 on the dot.
You ready? - I'm ready.
You ready? - You sure? - Yeah.
Did you go in last night? Are you still sleepy? No.
- I need you to be sharp - How is that professional? Huh? Look alive.
Cooper.
Cooper, we're here.
He did say 8:00, right? He better not be sleepin'.
You wanna go upstairs and check? Trying to make me look late.
Cooper.
- Real funny.
- You're right.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
- Watch my egg.
- Yo, watch my egg.
Cooper.
You're late.
My cell phone woke me up.
The guys says to deliver 20 million dollars to an offshore account, or he'll deliver the murder weapon with my fingerprints on it to the police.
Did you recognize the voice? No.
I hung up.
That's when I saw her.
Did you find anything? Uh, I don't know who she is, but it looks like she was hit with something big.
Her name's Kathryn Eddy.
Her i.
d.
's in her purse.
So you just went through her things? Yeah.
So I know who she is.
I just can't remember her.
- Are those your clothes from last night? - No.
I showered and changed.
You know that can be viewed as tampering with evidence.
If I'm being set up, I hope I messed up the crime scene.
So you have no idea how she got up here? No.
I can't remember anything about last night.
Okay, well, uh We have to call metro, but don't worry, we'll handle this.
It's not gonna do her much good.
Is this the rich client you wanted me to make feel special all day? - Yeah.
- Well, when you said babysitting, I thought you were speaking metaphorically.
Uh, you're getting five grand, and you don't have to sleep with him.
Intentional.
Totally intentional.
Sure.
Well then, I want half the money up front.
Deal.
I don't want him bruised.
- What do you think? - I think we need to contain this.
We need to check his cell.
We need to check the playback.
We need to call the attorneys.
I mean about Cooper.
Like what? Did he do it? We need to consider every possibility.
Mike, the guy's an extortionist's wet dream.
He's new to town.
He's loaded.
And he's fairly normal for a billionaire.
Look at the guy.
He seems like he's pretty busted up about this.
- Could be he was faking.
- I thought you were pals with this guy.
He went through her purse, Danny.
He showered, changed, obviously destroying evidence.
For all we know, he was about to move the body when we showed.
He asked us up here, Mike.
All I'm saying is, what do we really know about this guy? Last week he told me he didn't have a clue about the casino business.
- He told you that? - Confided in me.
I just checked his closet.
You know what he's got? - What? - 14 identical suits and shirts, shoes and socks.
- So he's organized.
- So was Gacy.
So was Btk.
So was Dahmer before he started eating human heads.
So if Cooper had this planned, why would he ask us up here for this meeting? It's a perfect alibi.
Or maybe it was a crime of passion, and he's got a secret plan.
Like the four years of his life we can't find out about.
The wife we've never seen.
Why he won't let us know what his friggin' initials stand for.
Look, I know you and him have this whole brothers-in-arms-marine thing going.
Yeah, but you're the one he's confiding in, not me.
Either way, we need to be professional here.
We are being professional.
Okay, I'm gonna go down and meet metro.
You? What about me? Well, you stay and keep an eye on Cooper.
Besides, he likes you better.
Hey, you guys okay? - Great.
- You let me know if you need anything, okay? Hi.
Are you Hershel's friends? - Yeah.
- Great.
Are you a, uh, casino host? Yes, I am.
Does that mean you're, um, full service? Yes, it does.
I don't have the two minutes to spare for you right now.
But, um, maybe later.
You guys wanna come this way? Yeah.
I wanna thank you for being so discreet about this.
No need to make a scene, not until we know what we're dealing with.
I'm glad to hear you say that.
Plus, if it is a homicide, we need to do everything by the book.
I couldn't agree more.
It's the only way to nail a guy like A.
J.
Cooper.
- How's it goin'? - Fine.
I just had to use the head.
So where's Cooper? Bowling.
He said he needed to think.
Funny, I don't see him.
I was just in there for a minute.
Find him.
Now.
Yes, sir.
Cooper! First Deline, now Cooper? The Montecito's got a real thing for fugitives.
Don't worry.
We're gonna find him.
Mitch, I need that visual on Cooper! Let's go! Still workin' on it.
Anti-tracking case, prevents cell phones from being pinged.
- Check out his gun case.
- He's armed? - Yeah.
- K7? Did you guys know about this? Cooper and the marines were under siege for 77 days.
They were outnumbered three to one.
When it was over, 205 marines were dead, but they killed 15,000 north vietnamese.
Great.
Another friggin' war hero.
Danny! Tell me you got him! - Actually, he's on his jet.
- What? The airport just relayed the flight plan.
Mccarran to Mazatlan.
I want that plane grounded the next available airport.
Mitch, I want you to get me all playback on this floor between now and last night! - We can't.
- Why not? The cameras were disabled.
- Are you kidding me? - How? - When? - I have no idea.
All right.
Let's go.
- We'll take full responsibility for getting him back.
- You're damn right you will.
You're theast ones seen with Cooper.
If he gets away, I'm charging you with aiding and abetting.
I want the murder weapon in my hand in three hours.
Yo, Sam! Steve.
Yeah.
Hi.
- How's Mims? - Oh, gonna be fierce.
Trust me.
- Oh good.
- Sam! I need Cy.
Where is he? Oh, he's gambling.
He has to stop.
No.
Oh no.
What happened? Well, we're supposed to be having a bar mitzvah here.
It looks like we're sittin' shiva.
I I need big areas for dancing, for shmoozing, for noshing.
Instead I have this.
Guess what we're about to do? Move the tables together, so that people can talk angle the lights so as to showcase the crowds and music.
And Delinda is about to add an extra buffet table.
For free.
Thank you.
Anything else? Oh, uh, how's Hershel? Being a mench.
Goal! Well, maybe your head's not in the game.
Yeah, it is.
Do you know those guys? Uh, Roxanne, Brian, and Adina.
Do you want to ask them to join us? No, I'm cool.
You sure? Are you a hooker? Excuse me? Well, I saw that Sam gave you money.
I thought maybe you were a bar mitzvah gift from my dad.
I'm here to hang with you.
Great, girls have to be paid to hang with me.
Actually, I don't do anything without being paid, so So then you are a hooker.
Nice.
I'm gone.
Wait, wait, wait! I'll double what you're getting.
My bubby gave me money early, so I can do it.
Do what? Pay you.
I told you.
I'm not a hooker.
Well, then can you teach me how to get that? Okay.
But you have to do everything I say.
Okay.
- Hey, you.
- Hey.
What's going on? You like? Oh, look at that.
Eddie must be happy.
How's, uh, baby Mr.
Egg? Fine.
Great.
Great.
Really? 'cause you look kinda worried.
I got nothing to worry about.
See.
Ah, here we go.
Here we go.
Buh-bye.
Something's up, McCoy! A mother can tell! So this Cooper stuff is still for surveillance-eyes only, right? Media blackout is in effect.
Why? It's just Delinda.
So any sign of him? Zero.
No idea how he slipped by all the cameras.
But we do have something on Kathryn Eddy.
Single, no criminal record, and in opus last night hangin' with Mr.
Cooper.
For someone who says he doesn't remember what happened, he seems pretty interested in this girl.
Maybe he just wanted to take her bowling.
Maybe she slipped something in his drink.
I mean, that would explain the memory loss, right? Why would she slip him something when she's the one who ended up dead? If you ask me, he looks guilty.
Yeah, well, I had a buddy over at defense run a check on him.
You know, part of that whole marine brotherhood thing.
You found some dirt? No, actually, just the opposite.
The guy's got a bronze star.
That's the one thing that isn't classified about him.
He thinks he might have been part of the phoenix program.
He said he could tell me more, but then he'd have to kill me.
- Phoenix program? - Yeah, black ops.
They were able to drop in the viet cong, take out death squads and get out without a trace.
So you're saying our man is an invisible killing machine? I don't know about that, but I know if he wanted to kill the girl, he could have done it without making a mess.
If he's innocent, why'd he jump on the plane to Mexico? Because he knew he was being set up.
Danny, you gotta stop this.
- Stop what? - Not looking at Cooper for who he is.
Sure, he used to be a marine, but now he buys and sells companies.
That means wiping out jobs, sometimes whole communities.
No one gets to be as rich as he is by playing nice.
You guys! I got Tucson airport police on the phone.
Cooper's plane just touched down.
This is Mike Cannon.
Is Cooper there? No? Plane cab is empty.
Right.
According to the pilot, Cooper said to forget about the passengers - and just start flying.
- What does the pilot look like? Officer, can you describe the pilot for me? Tall, dark hair, great set of cans.
That's not him.
If he's not on the plane, and he's not in the hotel, where the hell is he? Something we missed? Look at this place.
I'm not missing anything.
He's not on the plane.
He's not in the hotel.
There's gotta be something we didn't see.
I got two techs checking every room for a murder weapon.
Another one trying to find Cooper's clothes from last night, a trace on Cooper's gun case, and the lab just confirmed that the girl's prints were all over the suite door.
Looks like she was trying to get out before your boss killed her.
Sorry, gentlemen, but nothing's getting by me.
What about that computer? What about it? It was off.
Now it's on.
Anybody turn on this computer? No, sir.
No, sir.
Everything I say, right?  Everything.
Okay, we'll work on that.
For now, follow me.
Girls like guys who make an effort.
So let's get rid of the glasses, tame that hair, shave the peach fuzz.
The sooner you do, the sooner that sexy scruff will come in.
Get rid of that nose hair.
Finally we add a touch of bling.
What the hell is this stuff? I'm not sure i'm still trying to get past the encryption.
Cooper's making this happen some place else.
You can't stop him.
Maybe Cooper, maybe not.
Whoever they are, they're good.
Can you trace it? Already tried, the signal's being re-routed through more offshore accounts than I've ever seen.
Then shut it down.
No can do.
The guy's got over a dozen proxy servers.
If this one gets killed, the other ones pick up the slack.
Like I said, he's good.
You have one hour.
Who is this guy? I don't know, but I intend to find out.
Ballroom Check.
Bandstand - Check.
- Mims.
Check.
- You just worry about the lighting and the food.
- I'm on it.
Moms are good at multitasking.
Today's not about you, believe it or not? It's about keeping cy at the tables for as long as humanly possible.
Delinda, Sam, I want to introduce you to the man formerly known as hershel.
What's up? What's up? Wow.
You look cute.
Manly.
Manly cute.
So, guys, how's the party prepping going? Yeah, good.
Good.
How's baby corey? Oh, um, he's, uh, uh Is he gone? Yeah, you kinda left it back at the store.
To keep him safe.
Yeah.
Piper, he could have been abducted.
Okay, chicken little, we gotta go.
Don't worry, baby.
Momma's not gonna lose you.
Computer's going to the F.
B.
I.
You can follow it out.
Excuse me? Cooper's armed, probably dangerous.
Last thing I need is another civilian getting hurt.
Here you go, sir.
Done.
You know what? You're right.
It's probably better to leave this to the pros.
Pull the team together.
I wanna do a debriefing, okay? Do it now.
What did you see on the screen? Best I could tell, wire transfer, 20 million.
So if Cooper is paying these guys, his extortion's for real.
Or he could be moving his money some place authorities can't get to ii.
I'm gonna check his office.
See if I can find anything.
I'll keep trying his cell.
Hi, cy.
How are you? $100,000 in the hole.
Hmm, yeah, maybe you wanna take a little break.
I just saw hershel down by the concourse.
Yeah, not just yet.
Tell me how him and my wife are doing? Having fun.
Keeping busy.
Beautiful.
Then I'm the only one getting shtupped.
Yeah, but that's why we come to vegas, right? Excuse me just one second.
Hey, Danny.
Come here.
What? Uh, did we find him? Who? The billionaire rancher.
The guy who signs our checks.
You know, the one who got caught with a dead girl in his bed - with blood all over.
- Where did you hear this? Well, no one's talking to you about it because everyone's afraid of Cooper.
Uh, I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm talkin' about our killer boss.
You know, I always knew that that bowling obsession was a red flag.
Bowling doesn't make him a killer.
No, killing makes him a killer.
So do we think he did it or not? I got a casino to run.
So I'll see ya.
Oh, okay, fence sitter.
You got the look.
You got the bling.
All you gotta do is walk the walk, and she'll be yours.
Hey.
What happened? Maybe later.
Four times in ten minutes, Mike, what's on your mind? Yeah.
You need to turn yourself in.
I can't trust the police to do what needs to be done.
Then trust me and Danny.
Cooper, if metro doesn't have you by the end of the day, I'm getting charged as your accomplice.
I'm sorry to hear that, Mike.
I guess we'll just have to solve this thing.
We get him? A park in south Vegas.
We got him.
Took you long enough.
Yeah, well, you're lucky I showed up at all.
Hey.
You're my back up.
There's a flashkey in this envelope linked to an account worth 20 million dollars.
You're gonna pay him? No, but that's what it looks like I'm gonna do.
And in exchange, "they say" they're comin' here to give me the murder weapon.
So then what's the plan? They show up, you shoot 'em? That was my first instinct.
What about accomplices? You take out who shows, you'll never find the others.
Yeah.
Mike Cannon's original snagger? Are you kidding me? - The protype.
- No.
No, no.
This thing doesn't work.
The last time I tried it, it almost exploded.
It worked some of the time.
Look, every plan has an inherent degree of risk, Danny.
But risk is the price you pay for opportunity.
Are you with me? Semper fi.
Wanna talk about it? You mean why I wussed out? Look at me.
You look great! No, the clothes look great.
And the bling looks great, but I'm still me.
And nothing's ever gonna change that.
Let me tell you something, when I was your age, I was a total geek.
I mean, gawky and insecure and clumsy.
So what's changed? See! That was good! That was really good.
You can make girls laugh.
All you have to do is work on that, and you'll be fine.
Do you really think so? Yeah.
How do you think your dad got your mom? I have no idea.
He's talked to you about that sort of stuff, right? You know, girls and things? No, not really.
My dad doesn't really talk to me about anything.
Seriously? Yeah, I mean, he's always busy.
Like now.
Come with me.
No, all I'm saying is if the light shines into my client's eyes, then your prune bag is going to be my new hacky-sack.
Okay.
Sam, relax.
- How are the buffet stations? - They're great.
Sam, this is gonna be a kick-ass bar mitzvah.
Oh really?How do you figure that when we're short a brisket set-up? I'm on it.
I'm on it.
no! Call 911! Look, I really don't think this is a good idea.
A bar mitzvah's a day you become a man.
You've been wanting to talk to your dad.
And today's the day to do it.
Come on, six.
Beautiful.
Hershel, what are you doing here? I was just hoping we could talk.
We'll talk later.
I'm on a roll.
Look, there's just some things that I wanna know.
Come on, hersh, i'm busy.
What, too busy to talk to your own son? Who the hell are you? I'm the one who's been teaching your kid life lessons because you haven't been around.
Is that what you think? No, dad.
We're beautiful.
- hi.
- Hold my chips, will ya? What'd you do? - Danny.
- Hey, mike, I need you to check the monitor for your snagger.
What are you talking about? I got the snagger with me.
Just let me know if you have a signal.
You got anything? Why am I not surprised? Wouldn't be much of a set-up, if he gave me the murder weapon.
Hey, I got something.
There's a signal on the move.
How'd I get that? Where's he goin'? Son of a bitch.
- Where to? - The montecito.
Mike! Mike, mike, mike.
- Dee, what's the matter? - Eddie's fractured.
- What? - I am worse than britney spears.
At least she didn't break her baby.
Look, I'm kinda in the middle of a security operation Mike, w-wait! What do I tell danny? I mean, this was my idea, and I totally pulled a humpty dumpty.
Mike understands and would love to help.
But now I gotta go.
Mike! Mike! I mean, am I the only concerned parent around here? This is great.
The party's about to start, and the bar mitzvah boy and his dad are m.
i.
a.
We're gonna find them.
We'd better.
You're on the hook to me for a million-dollar event.
I don't think I can sell you for that much.
Sam, I was only trying to help.
I didn't ask you to help.
I asked you to take care of him.
oh! oh.
Huh! Looks like I did.
So things cool with you and your dad? Yeah.
I whooped him in foosball.
Nice.
Hey, I think those girls are checking you out.
Yo, hershel's dad bought him a ho.
Ignore him.
He's a jerk.
Girls don't go for guys who are jerks.
Okay, well, yeah, sure, maybe for a few months because they have a nice corvette, and a nice apartment, and, uh, they say they're gonna leave their wife for you.
But ultimately cool girls don't go for guys like him.
They go for guys like you.
Nobody paid me to say that.
You gonna ask her to dance or what? Wait, but what do I do if she likes me back? What do you mean? I've never kissed a girl before.
Now you have.
Go on.
Go ask her.
hi.
Do you wanna dance? Sure.
Hmm.
I, uh, like your earring.
Thanks.
I knew I liked that kid for a reason.
Beth, is that Adina? The rabbi's daughter.
Today he's a man, huh? I'm all farclempt.
About the interruption earlier.
- I feel - Oh, don't worry about it.
Oh, no, no, I promised you wouldn't be bothered.
And if you could just give me another chance It was the best thing that ever happened to me.
Thank you.
Aw, come here.
Beautiful.
Hey, load me up.
Yes, sir.
Steve, steve, steve.
Bold move.
He means eating after extorting.
Guys.
See if you can get me some xanax.
Sam.
Thank you.
Sorry.
Where's danny? I was over there with mike and coop, and they just busted that guy steve by the brisket.
I gotta tell him about eddie.
He's cracked.
Or you could just cover him with nail polish, and danny will never know.
You're right.
I know.
I mean, I guess being a parent isn't about protecting your kids from life.
It's about how you deal with all the crazy things that are bound to happen to them.
Whatever.
Come on, Eddie.
Ladies and gentlemen, i'd like to introduce to you the most-dope, most-fly, most-hot mc straight outta of New York, and doing it like this.
Mims! the other half of your fee.
Thanks.
Hmm.
The truth is, it wasn't half bad.
Oh, you don't want the money then? Uh-uh-uh, I didn't say that.
Hmm.
Have a seat.
If this has to do with mims, I only hooked up with him last week.
it has nothing to do with the band, Steve.
it has to do with this: when metro found her prints on the door of cooper's suite, they thought she was trying to get out, but really she was letting you in.
I don't know what you're talking about.
see that little mark there? so, Danny, is that the same envelope you saw me give to the guy on the motorcycle? it is.
you beat to death an innocent girl.
she wasn't innocent! she helped me.
with the cameras, the drugs.
did you happen to mention to her the part about her dying? so why did you kill her to set up Cooper? i'm Steve Shiner.
Jonas Shiner's son.
you stole his land.
screwed him out of it while he was trying to sell.
I never stole anything from anyone in my life.
my family had everything.
and because of you we lost it all.
I liked your dad.
I told him not to sell.
he ruined my life.
I was gonna ruin his.
you couldn't have just sent him a strongly-worded letter? You heard enough? Yep.
All right, let's go.
Mr.
Cooper, you got a permit for that gun? Yes I do, detective.
What a day.
Yeah.
Tell me about it.
Hey, you wanna come over for dinner with me and dee? uh, I can't.
Plans.
Plans? Yeah, plans.
What is that? Oh! Baby Mr.
Egg.
Nice goin', dad.
Look at your child! What about you? What about your egg? What about me? bam! Oh yeah.
Testing on the cannon utility belt is officially complete.
- Are you kidding me? - No, sir.
Unbelievable.
So what is my prize? Well, congratulations.
you, uh, you get to be the baby's godfather.
Come on, for real.
What is it? that's That's it.
you That's Yeah.
it'll be an honor.
and if anything should ever happen to you, just know mike cannon will pick up the slack.
Thank you, Mike.
Nah, don't get any egg on the belt.
Hey, Mike.
- Hey, Danny.
- Hey, Coop.
Delinda said if I kept it safe, she'd cook me dinner.
So I guess I'll see ya later.
Cooper.
Why'd you run? I wasn't gonna find the truth from jail.
Well, maybe over dinner you can explain how you were able to bypass our cameras and our security.
Yeah, and how you accessed that computer.
and how you were able to keep this little egg intact.
I could tell ya, but then I'd have to kill ya.
