Las Vegas (2003–2008): Season 2, Episode 17 - Tainted Love - full transcript

None of the men thought of Valentine's day. Ed expected to be excused for jury duty, but neither the judge, who recently lost badly at the Montecito, nor the counselors object to a professional expert in gambling and security, both being essential to the case. Once on the case, he breaks the embargo rules, determined to prove the accused's innocence. Danny must check on big gambler, Bert Belinsky, who first bets against his wife's horse, then on it, while his wife uses the trips as alibi to hide her plastic surgery. Bert has asked for Mary's company, because her boobs bring him luck; his female company shamelessly gropes Danny's privates. Sam frantically avoids her rich husband Casey Manning, the only man who can play her at her own game.

He's the whale of all whales.
The whale of legends.

He's the whale
that every casino host
in the whole world...

has tried to land,
and I've hooked him.

Well, don't keep us
in suspense, Sam.

Who is he?
He's this
billionaire recluse...

who flies his 747
all over the world
to do what? To gamble.

He's never had a casino host
before. He's always turned
them all down, until me.

Her smile is beginning
to frighten me.

It is a little demonic.
A little?

No one knows his name.
His entourage takes care
of everything.

Guess what I heard?
Guess what I heard, girls?



What?
He bets
a million dollars a hand.

Now we know why
the girl's smiling.

I do have
a little problem, however.

Actually, I have two.
I'm supposed to fly
Betty and Bert Belinsky...

to Santa Anita
to watch their horse run.
But I have my Nip/Tuck couple.

Hank and Helena Hunt
from Atlanta.

NiplTuck couple?

Yeah, you know,
Nip/Tuck couple.

She comes to get
a little plastic work done.
He does some gambling.

When she goes home, she tells
all her friends it was
the spa treatments and...

the desert air
that did her right.

Hey, you know what?
It's actually kind of sweet.

It's Hank's Valentine's Day
present to Helena.

Wonder what he got her
for her birthday.



You're trying to pawn
your whales off on us,
aren't you?

Yes, I am.

Okay, Mary, you're going to
escort Betty and Bert Belinsky
to Santa Anita.

What's wrong with
Betty and Bert Belinsky...

that you're sticking me
with them?

Nothing, they're
the sweetest couple ever.

They're high school
sweethearts.

They've been married
for 30 years.

Actually,
that is kinda sweet.

Also Bert thinks
that your breasts are lucky.
Okay, D...

Why is everyone fascinated
by my breasts?
You're kidding, right?

D, you have
Hank and Helena Hunt...
So my boobs aren't lucky?

No. I want you
to make sure that Helena...

makes it to all
her appointments on time.
Okay?

Do you girls have
any questions? Good.

Wanna trade whales?

You're the one with
the lucky boobs, not me.

##

Miss Connell.
Yeah.

This was just delivered
for you.

Thank you.

Thanks so much. Thanks.

Would you hold this?
Yeah.

Mary's got
a secret admirer.

You promised you'd spend
the whole day with me.

Jillian,
I told you I have jury duty.

And you scheduled it
for Valentine's Day...

so you wouldn't have
to spend the day with me,
didn't you?

You know we have this whole
Valentine's Day thing
that we do.

No, I know you have this whole
Valentine's Day thing
that we do.

Eddie...

if you ever want to play
Love Machine with me
ever again...

then you better
get into this...

whole Valentine's Day
program...

Do you really think
that I planned this?
Yes, I do.

Well, actually,
they gave me a choice:
win a Ferrari or jury duty.

What, are you trying
to tell me that with all...

your connections,
you couldn't get out of it?

No, I tried everything, honey.
Listen...

I'd much, much rather
spend the day with you.

I hope you get sequestered
for a month.

Happy Valentine's Day to you.

Yeah.

Ed, it's Bobby
at the sports book.

One of Sam's whales,
Bert Belinsky...

just spread $200,000
across the field...

betting on every horse
in the eighth race
at Santa Anita...

except his own horse.
He what?

# Sway me, lay me #

# Thrill me, hold me #

# Bend me, please me #

# You have a way with me #

I need to get me
a kitty.

Here, kitty,
kitty, kitty.

Danny, Mike.
Hey.

I pulled jury duty
this morning, okay?

Sorry to hear that,
Ed.

Yeah.

That's okay.
After they talk to me
for a little...

while, I'm sure
they'll let me off the hook.

No. Nobody gets off
the hook, Ed.

They threw a buddy of mine
in jail because...

he refused to answer
the jury notice.

Let me ask you
a question.

Would either of you
want me on a jury?

No.
No.

So, I'm pretty sure
they'll...

let me get out of it.

# I go weak #

# I go weak #

Hey, Danny...

I need you to escort
one of Sam's whales
and his wife...

this Bert and Betty Belinsky,
to Santa Anita.

They're gonna watch their
horse run.
So the jet's waiting.

Okay.

You watch the shop
while I'm gone, okay?

By myself?

##

Not a problem.

Not a problem at all.

Dude, it's the day shift.

Oh, listen.

I need you also to pick up
my Valentine's Day gift
for Jillian.

What?
Errand boy.

What are you,
Chuckles The Clown?

Wasn't that your job
last year?

Look...

it's at the jewelry shop
at the hotel.

Don't let her see you
go in there because,
she goes to...

major lengths to uncover
whatever her gift is
every year.

You know?
So I'm sure she's running...

around the shops,
checking it out right now.

So I wish
you'd get on your way.
Yeah, I got it.

You'd better hurry up, man.
Excuse me.

Give her a wide berth,
because she's a little pissed
off at me, okay?

No problem, Mr. D.

##

This Belinsky...

the guy you're going
to Santa Anita with.
Yeah.

I just found out he spread
$200,000 across the board on
every horse but his own.

He's betting against his own
horse? What, is he trying to
change the odds?

No, he already did that.

So I need you to go down there
and find out what the hell's
going on.

'Cause we...

# My eyes will see only you #

we don't need
a racing scam here
at the hotel.

No.

# Only you have
that magic technique
When we sway, I go weak #

You should probably
get to jury duty, Ed.

# I go weak ##

I got a couple minutes.

I can't believe
how excited you are.

I've never seen you act
like this over a whale before.

Well, this isn't just
any whale. This is
the Holy Grail of whales.

The Hope damn Diamond.

Moby frickin' Dick.

Okay. Your smile is starting
to freak me out.
I'm not feeling it.

##

This is him.
This is his entourage.

Hello, Sam.

##

Look,
you don't understand...

I'm President Of Operations
for the Montecito Hotel.

And I drove
an $800,000 vehicle
to work this morning.

Is that right?
Yeah,
it's called the city bus.

Now, sit down and shut up
like your fellow citizens.

By the way, can you get me
and my boyfriend
some tickets...

to the Pussycat Dolls'
Valentine's Day show tonight?

You know it is sold out?

Oh my God. What happened?

I think she's okay.

Sam.

Hi.

Are you okay?
Sam, what happened?

Sam, come here.

I just had the worst dream.

What's going on?
Oh, my God.

My God, it's my husband.
It's...

the husband
you wouldn't tell me about?
What?

Sam, I have
more important things to do...

than deal with
you freaking out...

about your husband.
Like running a casino
in Ed's absence.

Oh damn, there's Jillian.
I gotta go.

No.

Mrs. D, don't you look lovely?
Drop the act, Mike.

And where did Ed hide
my Valentine's Day present?

What's the matter
with Sam?

Nothing. She just got a little
excited about seeing her
husband on Valentine's Day.

Sorry, sweetie, I've got your
Nip/Tuck whale to deal with.
Remember?

My boobs aren't lucky.
No, your boobs are great.

See you.
No, I can't.

Please stay with me,
we're friends.
No.

Well,
isn't this interesting.

Sam's husband comes to visit
on Valentine's Day.

Bye-bye.
No.

Don't say goodbye. Ness?

Hi, Nessa Holt.

Casey Manning.

So, you're Sam's husband?

Yes, I am.

...now it's Angel Heart
by a head.

Dragonfly Girl
is closing fast.

Baker's Delight...

heading to the wire.
It's gonna be close.

It's Angel Heart,
takes it by a nose.
Go. Go.

Dragonfly Girl
and Baker's Delight in Third.
No!

Oh, yes.

Thanks for the tip, Bert.

Don't be a sore loser.

Bert and Betty,
they've known each other
since they were kids.

They were high school
sweethearts. And they've been
married for 30 years.

Isn't that sweet?

I could be wrong, but I think
that Betty is trying
to hit on me.

I'm only here
because Bert thinks
my breasts are lucky.

Well.

Is that new?

A Valentine's Day present.

Really? From who?

It's not from you?

No.

Really?
Really.

Pleasure doing business
with you.

Excuse me for a minute.

I'll be back in a second.
Yeah.

So, tell me about
you and Danny.

Are you two married,
or what?

Well, it's actually
kind of a long story.

$200,000 on the six horse
to win race number seven.

Mike Cannon.
Mike...

Bert Belinsky just laid down
$200,000 on his own horse.

First he bet
against his horse,
now he's betting on it?

Yeah. Why don't you check
the Montecito sports book,
see if it affected our odds.

Danny, what's the deal with
Jillian and this
Valentine's Day present?

She's going postal on me.

That's just
old people foreplay.

That's sweet.

Well, his horse just went
from a 30 to 1 long shot...

to the 3 to 1 favorite.
Looks like he is
manipulating the odds.

Why don't you find Sam, see if
we can get the low-down
on this guy and his wife.

No can do,
Sam's nowhere to be found.

And her husband...

Her husband?
Yeah, the whale of legends...

she's been talking about?
That's Sam's husband.

And he wants no limits
on all the tables
he plays at.

Okay. Well...

do what you got to do.
Video IQ her,
but we got to find her.

I've already tried that.

I can't find her anywhere.

Okay.

Let's get a three-way
with Ed.

Mr. Deline...

is there anything that would
preclude you from serving
on a jury in this case?

No, actually...

actually, yes,
ma'am, there is.

I understand that, this case
involves some gaming,
does it not?

To a certain degree,
yes, it has to do with gaming.

Right. Well...

I am President of Operations
for the Montecito.

The court is well aware of
who you are, Mr. Deline.

So you're familiar
with the Montecito, are you?

I know it quite well.

In fact, I lost a bundle there
last month.

Your slots
are a little tight.

Well, I take personal offense
with that, Your Honor.

It is with great pride
that I say
the Montecito's slots...

are looser than any in town.

Just take a seat in
the jury box, Mr. Deline.

Yes, ma'am.

Yeah.

Hey, Bert just
laid down $200,000
on his own horse.

Makes no sense.

It changes not only
the odds at the track...

but here at the Montecito,
and all the casinos over town.

Danny, don't let him
out of your sight.

Don't worry.
I'm right behind him.

We've got another problem,
too. Sam's whale...

wants the limits removed
on all the tables he plays at.

I'd like to
talk to Sam.

Sam's nowhere to be found.

The case involves not
only gaming...

but surveillance of sorts.

Sorry, Your Honor...

I believe I have
a conflict of interest here.

Mr. Deline, the court is aware
that you are
an expert in gaming.

Not just gaming, ma'am,
surveillance as well.

No cause or
peremptory challenges here.

Welcome to the jury,
Mr. Deline.

Danny, I just found out...

Sam hasn't seen her husband
since they got married.

And he spent the last 7 years
amassing a fortune
to try and win her back.

Excuse me, sir.
Danny.

Careful there.

Danny, what are you doing?

Excuse me.

Danny, what's going on?

Excuse me.

Hey, hang on, man.

I got Jillian on
the other line, looking for
her Valentine's Day gift.

Ed, he's headed to
a restricted area.

Don't lose sight of him,
Danny, okay?

Okay, I'm back.

He's talking to a jockey.

The same jockey that's riding
his horse in the seventh?

Maybe he's trying
to throw the race.

Then why would he bet
$200,000 on it?

I don't know.

Oh, my God.

You okay?

Sam, I've been looking
all over for you.

I need details about
your billionaire husband.

Danny needs to know
what's going on with...

your whale
down at Santa Anita 'cause...

he's changing the odds
on his own horse.

Listen to me.
I need you to help me...

You're hyperventilating.
Maybe you need to
breathe into a paper bag.

I don't need to
breathe into a paper bag.
I need you to...

run a complete check on
Casey Manning. Why is he here,
how much is he worth?

You should know this.
He's playing in your casino.

I want you to pull his comps,
throw him out,
put him in the black book.

I can't put him in
the black book.

You can.
And you're about to right now.

No, I cannot.

Sam, someone wants to see you.
Sam.

Nessa.

Danny, Mike. I got Jillian
on the other line.

Hang on.

I've decided you're getting
out of Valentine's Day
too easy.

So I'm meeting you
for lunch.

Honey, look I...
Don't try to tell me
you don't have a...

lunch break,
'cause I already checked.

I can't talk right now.

Danny. Mike.

Mr. Deline.

Are you on the phone?

Me?

Mr. Deline, turn your phone
off, or I will hold you
in contempt of court...

and you'll be spending
Valentine's Day in jail
with a cell mate named Bubba.

Mr. D?

Ed?

I'm gonna kill that man.

Hey, Mrs. Belinsky?
Well, how...

I can't think of a better
Valentine's Day present
than jewelry, can you?

No.

And family jewels are
the best kind.

I'm sorry, but I don't...

I don't know what you want,
and I can't...

understand a thing
you're trying to say.

Where is her husband who gave
her this wonderful
Valentine's present?

Probably in the casino,
gambling.

Oh gosh, I'm sorry.

Are those things swollen,
or did you...

intend them to be this big?

See...

Oh. Well...

somebody made
a little mistake.

So...

you wanted a C cup.

Yeah.

Well, someone gave you
a size...

E.

Yeah.

Oh Sam, thank God you're here.
Somebody made a big...

mistake with
your whale's boob job.

I need you to hide me.
Hide you from what?

My husband.
Why?

It's okay.

The last time I saw him
he was a millionaire. Now he's
a frickin' billionaire.

I know, sweetie.

I know you're in there, Sam...

and I'm going to stay
right outside this door
until you come out.

Sam?
Help me.

How?

Sammie.

Bert wants to rub
my breasts for luck.

Betty actually
did rub me for luck.

Apparently Sam
forgot to tell us
that they're swingers.

What?
Yeah.

They invited us to
a Valentine's Day
swingers party.

##

You really didn't get me
the necklace...

the chocolates, and flowers?

No, that wasn't me.

Wait, you got me something for
Valentine's Day, right?

I mean
'cause I got you something,
just as a friend.

No.

Sorry I didn't. I just...

I completely forgot. I'm...

Look, I gotta...
Odds are changing
all over the place.

Yeah. I'm gonna
just walk away now.

Okay.
Pretend like
I'm not embarrassed.

Okay.

I see it.

Bets are being made
in every casino
and O.T.B. in the country.

Okay, where is it?

Where's my Valentine's Day
present?

Danny, I gotta go.

Hi.
Hi. Thank you.

Where is she?
Who?

Wow. You are cute.

Thanks, but I'm married.

I know you're in here,
Sammie, and I will find you.

Whatever this...

place is.

Sammie.

Sammie Baby Lammie Cakes?

So, Casey...

why don't you...

tell me all about you
and Sammie Baby Lammie Cakes?

Ladies and gentlemen,
this is an open-and-shut case.

We have surveillance photos
of the suspect in
the commission of the crime.

He has a record.

I object, Your Honor.

My client has turned
his life around.

The fact that he took
a job as a stock boy...

in the supermarket
proves that.

He took the job
at the supermarket...

so he could rip off
the slot machines
in the supermarket.

Your Honor.
Gentlemen.

Excuse me, Your Honor,
may I ask a question, please?

No.

But you see
the surveillance photos,
Your Honor...

Mr. Deline.

Sorry.

These photos are guesswork.

You can't even see that kid.

These surveillance photos
prove...

that the suspect stole
from the slot machines
at the supermarket...

using a light wand.

A light wand?
What are you, nuts?

You can't see a light wand.

Mr. Deline, sit down.

I'm sorry, Your Honor...

I forgot my Beano
this morning.

There will be a ten-minute
potty break for Mr. Deline.

Thank you very much,
Your Honor. Excuse me.

Light wand.

Come on, Mike. Where is it?

Where is my present?

Hey Mike, listen, I need you
to check out
some surveillance cameras.

It's in a supermarket on
The Strip. It' s on...
I'm a little busy.

Is that Ed?

Maybe you should talk
to Danny.

No, that wasn't Ed.

Mrs. D,
that look on your face is...

starting to scare me.

I've seen it in Ed
and Delinda,
and it's not good.

Is it hot in here?

Yeah.

Hey.

Like a fine wine...

women mature with time.

You just make that one up?
That's a new one.

You are so cute.
Ed...

I got a bad connection.

- I'm gonna call you back.
- Danny.

No. Don't hang up, Danny.

I was just checking
to see that...

Someone was going to pick up
my wife's
Valentine's Day present.

I was just making sure.

Back to the jury box,
Beano boy.

Yeah, right.

Casey...

are you okay?

You know,
my father thought that Sam...

was just a gold-digger...

and he threatened
to cut me off
if I married her.

But you married her.

Of course I did.
And he cut you off?

Yep...

but you know what?
She was worth
every penny of it.

See, Sam never knew that
my family had any money at all
until after we married.

You didn't tell her?

Didn't seem important.

We were young and in love.

Of course, when she found out,
she flipped.

Yeah, well, some times
Sam can be
a bit of a contradiction.

I just want to talk to her,
Nessa.

The only way I know how to
get Sam's attention is
by playing big money.

It's like
she's got a sixth sense.

She can smell
big money in play.

Then give me a marker
for $10 million.

You breathe a word about
Sammie Baby Lammie Cakes...

it'll be
the last breath you take.

I have a client
who'd love to see you in that.

It ain't gonna happen.

Someone's playing big money.

How do you know?

The jury is dismissed
one hour for lunch.

Mr. Deline...

you will not discuss
this case with anyone.

No. Of course not.

I've decided to make nice
and have lunch with you...

but only because
it's Valentine's Day...

and the day
you proposed to me.

I'm really sorry about
this jury duty.

But, as it happens,
I'm kinda glad
that I'm on this case.

Why do you care about it?
'Cause I think
this kid is innocent.

And?

And, you know, when...

when I was a kid...

right before my dad died...

I never told you this before,
but...

I got in a lot of trouble.

I stole some hubcaps.

Unfortunately, they were
attached to the car at
the time. But...

Anyway there was
this old guy in the jury.
He just flat out refused to...

find me guilty.

And I was, you know?

He came to me afterwards
and he said:

"I'm giving you
a second chance."

So, I went directly
from the courthouse
to the recruiting office.

Wow.

You're married to somebody
30 years and you think
you know everything.

Not everything.

Come on, let's run down to
that supermarket,
check it out.

Wait a minute.
What?

Isn't that against
the court rules?

Well, so is...

sending a young kid to jail...

for six or seven years
on a gaming violation
he didn't commit.

Wait.

Hey.

Ed, thank God.
I've been trying
to reach you.

Sam's husband is on
one hell of a roll
at the craps table.

He's made his point
16 times in a row.

There's more money on
this table than I've seen in
one place at one time.

Just calm down, Mike.

Ed, a couple more rolls
like this, he's gonna
break the casino.

For God's sake, man,
do something.

Ed, you got to
hang on a second.

Hi, Casey.

Hello, Sam.
What the hell
do you think you're doing?

Gambling,
what's it looks like?
I can see that.

Legally,
half this money is mine.

I thought you didn't want
my money, or care about it.

- I don't.
- Ed.

Wait a minute.

I'm gonna have to put you
on hold now. I got Danny
on the other line. Hold on.

Yeah, Danny?

I just found out
Bert made a deal
to sell his horse.

I guess the old boy was...

manipulating the odds
to get a price.

He's looking at
possible gaming violations
in two states.

And since he's our guest,
it could look like
we're involved.

Ed, what do you want me to do?
His horse is running
the next race.

Notify one of
the track officials.

Blow the whistle on him.
Okay.

Hi.
Hi.

I love your act.
Oh, thanks.

I love what
you're wearing.

Oh, this?
Something I threw together.

It's very Pussycat.
Really?

Sam.
Talk about a girl gone wild.

Sam. No.

You got to stop hitting him.
Sam?

Let him go.

Sam.

You're causing a scene.

You're causing a scene,
now calm down.

Are you okay?

Are you calm?
I'm sorry.

Sorry about that.
I'm sorry.

There's nothing to see here.
I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?
I'm sorry.

Sam. Oh, no.

Okay. You're out of control.

Mike, I'll punch you in the
face if you don't put me down!

Put me down now!

All right.

That's my wife.

...different from
your program.

The track is fast,
the turf is firm...

the wind is calm, and we're
currently at about 76 degrees.

I need you to keep Bert and
Betty busy because I gotta
talk to the track officials...

before the race begins, okay?
Yeah, how?

adies and gentlemen,
five minutes to post.

Don't forget the 8th race,
an all-American...

handicap with a $10,000 purse.
Hi.

This looks like a nice spot
to watch the race.

Race, Bert, not my breasts.

We're gonna win this race
because of them.

Glad they could help.

Can you excuse me, please?

adies and gentlemen,
we have...

late scratches.

The number 9 horse...

the number 5 horse,
and the number 11 horse.

Number 9, number 5,
and number 11.

I can't believe
this is happening
on my watch.

I cannot believe it.
I finally get a shot...

to get out of Danny's shadows,
and this...

Mike,
get a hold of yourself.

What is it with your family
and hitting people?

Once again, eight.

I know you still love me, Sam.
I don't love you, Casey.

Yes, you do.

Place your bets, folks.

No, I don't.

I think you do.

I gotta go. Excuse me.

Sam.

I want this table
shut down right now.

I'm sorry, folks.
Nobody touches the table.

Why is she so freaked out
about a billionaire husband...

who's smoking hot,
sexy, and sweet?

He is the one guy alive
that can do to her what
she does to everyone else.

You mean manipulate, scam,
scheme, and seduce?

Yeah.

No wonder she's afraid of him.

Ed, I just shut down
the craps table.
No. Just keep...

the game going
until I get there, okay?

Too late.

And if you hear from Danny...

let me know right away,
okay?

Eddie, I still don't
understand what you found
at the supermarket.

Well, for one thing,
they have these color
video cameras...

and not just those
black-and-white ones

that take the pictures
every five seconds.

Oh, man. I'm late.

If they have color
surveillance cameras...

why are they using
the black-and-white photos?

I'll give you a couple of
reasons. I think they're
trying to railroad this kid.

Do me a favor. Call Luis
down at Metro and tell him
to check out that supermarket.

Excuse me.
Hey, man.

I'm sorry.
Dude.

Excuse me.
Hey.

Hey, sexy.

Watch it.

Ma'am, could you tell me where
I can find a track official
or a steward, please?

Why won't you talk to me, Sam?

Please go away, Case.

##

Hey...

do you remember
that little place...

that we stayed in
for the two months
at the beach?

No, I don't remember that.

We made love
in the moonlight every...

single night. My God...

you were so beautiful.

I remember thinking
before I went to sleep...

all wrapped up with you,
that if I died...

right then and there...

I would die the happiest man
in the whole world.

I remember.

Admit it, Sam,
you still love me.

I don't love you, Case.

Then why haven't you
ever divorced me?

Because I've been really busy.

For seven years?
Yeah.

Seven years.

Time flies, you know?

Why are you afraid of me, Sam?

I'm not afraid of you.

Okay, then open the door
and talk to me.
We are talking.

Sam...

please just open the door.
No, Casey.
I will not open the door.

I can hear you fine.

##

I still love you, Sam.

Where's Mr. Deline?

I'm sorry, Your Honor.

Let me guess,
Beano problem again?

Look, can I just talk to you
for a second?
No.

Bailiff, escort Mr. Deline
back to his seat.

Your Honor, I really need to
talk to you for a second,
just privately.

My chambers.

Excuse me.

And they're off!

Make a Date, oosey-Goosey,
and Total Gold out front...

followed by Beach Blanket,
Jonathan Trolley...

Dead Eye Dan, and Gold Eagle.

Blue Baby Two
falls on the left side.

What is so important that
we have to go behind
closed doors, Mr. Deline?

Well, Your Honor,
the supermarket had cameras
with full video capabilities.

So, someone must have
taken those tapes.

I do believe that they're
setting this young man up.

And how did you find out
this information, Mr. Deline?

Well, I...
Mr. Deline.

Mr. Deline, you are limited to
the evidence that
the attorneys present to you.

You are a jury member...

not an investigator
or advocate for either side.

You cannot visit locations
relating to the case
during your lunch break...

nor can you consult anyone
about the case.

But Your Honor...
Mr. Deline...

you will return to
the courtroom,
rejoin the jury...

and you will not use
any of your findings
in your decision on this case.

Yes, Your Honor.

And...

on a personal note...

I don't want to be here
all night.

It's Valentine's Day,
and I have...

plans.

##

Yes, Your Honor.

Thank you.

Bailiff, please escort them
to the jury room.

We won.

Oh, honey.

I won!

This is not good, is it?
No, it's not.

So, everyone that thinks
he's guilty? Put 'em up.

Not guilty.

I've loved you
since the day I met you.

Okay?

I want you to
come away with me.

##

adies and gentlemen.

No. You've got it all wrong.

I would never do
anything illegal.

So let me get this straight,
you were just trying
to cover your ass?

I didn't think my wife's horse
had a snowball's chance
in hell of winning.

So the bets at the Montecito
against your horse were what?

I made the first bets
at the Montecito
so my wife wouldn't know.

I figured if I covered
the field, at least I'd have
a chance to break even.

And the $200,000 that
you bet here at the track,
on your horse?

I placed that bet
for my wife.

Okay, smarty-pants,
explain to me
why you sold the horse.

Made me an offer
I couldn't refuse.

So all this was because
you didn't want your...

wife to know you thought
her horse was a dog?

Oh, come on,
it's Valentine's Day.

I think it's kind of romantic.

Hey.

I think that Betty's ready
to head on back to Vegas.

We got V.I.P. seating for
the Pussycat Dolls'
Valentine's show...

then dinner...

and a little
swingers party.

Maybe you two
would like to join us?

First and most importantly,
you can't even see
who this guy is, let alone...

see a light wand in his hand.

But he's dressed like
a stock boy.

So are dozens of others.

But he has a criminal record.
And the slot losses...

coincide with
his employment record.

So, what you're all
telling me is that...

without a shadow of a doubt...

this kid committed the crime.

You're going to keep us here
all night, aren't you?

Yeah, if I have to.

Sammie.

Chazz, Hal.

I can hear you walking.

You can run, Sammie,
but you can't hide.

Here we go. Now...

would you take this, Chazz...

and place it on this corner?
Now it's slanted a little bit,
you have to be careful.

Balance it right on
the corner of that chair,
the right hand corner.

Good.

Now, would you please
do the same thing?

You just hold
your position.

You all please take notice
of Hal's position here...

okay...

clearly to
this side of the chair.

Chazz...

Chazz's position...

was here in the center
because he's right handed.

The left-hander
had to stand on this side.

Please let's note
this picture.

You can see our thief
is clearly on
the right side of the machine.

Our kid, our suspect,
is definitely right-handed.

He's not guilty.

Not guilty.

# Sometimes I feel
I've got to #

# Run away #

# I've got to get away #

# From the pain you drive
into the heart of me #

# The love we share #

# Seems to go nowhere #

# And I've lost my light #

# For I toss and turn
I can't sleep at night #

# Once I ran to you
I ran #

# Now I'll run from you #

# This tainted love
you've given #

Is that Sam?

What the hell
is she doing?

# Take my tears
and that's not nearly all #

# Tainted love #

Whatever she's doing,
she ain't doing it
very well.

# Now I know I've got to #

# Run away #

# I've got to get away #

# You don't really want
any more from me #

# To make things right #

# You need someone
to hold you tight #

# And you think
love is to pray #

# But I'm sorry
I don't pray that way #

# Once I ran to you
I ran #

# Now I'll run from you #

# This tainted love
you've given #

# I give you
all a girl could give you #

# Take my tears
and that's not nearly all #

Love to stay and watch
the train wreck, but I've got
a hot Valentine's date.

Oh, really?

# Tainted love
Tainted love #

I'm sorry.
I hate Valentine's Day.

Yeah, me too.
It's just too much pressure.

It's like
if you haven't got a Valentine
you feel like a total loser.

Exactly. So what
are you doing tonight?

Are you asking me out?

No, of course not.

I just thought we wouldn't
look like such losers
if we hung together.

Instead of being alone
on Valentine's Day, but...

All right, I'm down with that.
We'd be just two friends...

who hate Valentine's Day
hanging out together. Right?

Right.
Right.

Unless you wanna
get busy.

Don't push it, mate.

##

I love you.

Is that what you wanna hear?

Yeah, that's exactly
what I wanna hear.

But I'm not
going with you, Casey.

Have dinner with me tonight?
No.

Please.
Why?

Because...

no one should be alone...

on Valentine's Day.

# Get away #

# You don't really want
any more from me #

You made this?

Yeah, I made it.

# You need someone
to hold you tight #

# And you think
love is to pray #

# But I'm sorry
I don't pray that way #

I love it.

If I have dinner with you,
you'll leave, right?

Maybe.

No maybes.

Actually
I was thinking about...

buying this place.

# Tainted love #

# Tainted love
Tainted love

# Tainted love
Tainted love #

# Tainted love ##

You ever figure out
who gave you the gift?

No.

##

Somebody's got
a secret admirer.

Yeah, I guess I do.

You're not jealous,
are you?

No.
No?

Really?

'Cause it sort of seems
like you might be a...

Okay. Maybe a little.

I only want
what's best for you, Mary.

I always have.

Happy Valentine's Day.

##

Congratulations.

You know, I can be
pretty persuasive in my...

uniquely charming way.

Yes, you can.

I really couldn't just watch
that kid go down, you know?

I know.

##

What do you got in here,
a cat?

No. I thought
we would have a...

moonlight picnic dinner.

Picnic. That's nice.

It's a little cold,
though, isn't it?
I have a blanket.

Okay.
And I brought this.

Your present to me.

Where the heck
did you get that?
I took it from Mike.

You know...

he's really good at
the surveillance part...

but needs a little work
on the security.

Well, Happy Valentine's.

Come on.

So...

can I open
my present now?

No, not until after dinner.

Oh...

come on.

No.
