Las Vegas (2003–2008): Season 3, Episode 12 - Bait and Switch - full transcript

Montecito security.

Montecito security.

Excuse me.

Excuse me!

Oh, you invited somebody
to watch.

No, no. I'm with hotel security,
and we've had a lot of complaints...

about the level of the music,
so if you could just turn it
down a little bit.

Thank you.
Oh.

Thank you.

Lil' Flip's doing a show
at Mystique tonight,
so we decided to use his music...

in our anniversary video.
Three years.



Congratulations.
Thank you.

Keep the music down.
Okay.
Okay, thanks.

Cut. Cut, cut, cut.

Hold the roll.
What's wrong?

Danny.
Mary, you're not gonna believe...

the noise complaint
that I just had to deal with.
I'm sure it's fascinating,

but you know the Lil' Flip video
that we're shooting
at the Bella Petto?

Yeah.
The diamonds are gone.

What diamonds?
For Lil' Flip.

He gets 40 loose diamonds
from the evil record producer
and then gives them to Delinda.

What's Delinda doing?
Oh, she's in the video.
That's not important.

What's important is
that the diamonds,
they're missing.

Somebody took the genuine ones
and they replaced them
with fakes.

So they're using real diamonds?
Yes.



Why?
Danny.

He's keeping it real.

Has anyone left the pool area
since Lil' Flip noticed the switch?

No, no, no, no.
I told everyone we were just
taking a break...

to discuss some dance moves.
All right. Good.

Keith, lock it down.

I'll call the police.
Oh, no. No. No police.

And who are you?
Uh, Danny, this is-

This is-
Pete Natelson.
I provided the stones.

- And you don't want
the police involved.
- Insurance issues.

- Do better.
- Look, the merchandise isn't, uh,
technically mine.

If those stones are hot, you do realize
that you're in a lot of-

No, no, no.
They're virtually mine,
but they're not mine... technically.

- Ah. I see.
- It's complicated.
Look, I did it for her.

She said she needed
40 real diamonds pronto,
and I had 'em here within two hours.

Am I right, or am I right?

- You wanted the real diamonds?
- I told her to get 'em.

I couldn't get in touch with my jeweler,
so Mary said she'd help us out.

And give me the inside track
on the jewelry store space
inside your mall.

Yeah- I told him we
would consider his application.

And, I think since I did you a favor-

I think it's only fair
that you do me a favor.
No police.

And they're gonna feature the hotel
in the video, right?

Yeah. Yeah, every shot, man.
It's great publicity for your hotel.
It'd be great.

Okay. Uh-

All right, I want everybody here searched.
Oh, Danny?

You know, there's a lot of places
you could hide loose diamonds-

Especially women.

That's why we have
female security guards
to frisk them.

I'm talking about places
frisking won't reach.

Right.

All right, I'll bring in
the X-ray machine.

I gotta tell you, Mary,
making a deal with this guy Pete...

when you didn't know
anything about him is a weak move.

He was a real jeweler.
Very weak.

Even if the stones aren't hot,
the fact that he didn't want
the cops involved...

didn't make you think there might be
something a little bit off?
Oh, no, no, no.

There have been plenty of times
when you guys didn't want
the cops involved.

And as I recall, you slept
with a woman who'd just
stolen a guest's diamond bracelet.

Who told you that?

No, no. Listen to me.
Three cases of chilled Bollinger-

Oh, my God.
Isn't he so wicked hot?

So hot.
Ooh. He calls himself
Hot Chocolate.

Call you back.

Mike?

Wow. He should call himself
"Huge Chocolate."
Wicked huge.

Who knew?

I frisked and X-rayed
every single person
at the video shoot.

They're all clean.

Okay, then, I guess we'll
have to question everyone,
because somebody's gotta know something.

Everyone?

Okay, then, people born
in a leap year get a pass.

Well, everyone includes Delinda.

Fine. I mean, for appearances.

Are you sure this is Mike?
What? Look at him.

I don't get it. Why would he be
moonlighting as a male stripper?

Remember he said he wanted
a new car but he couldn't
find the cash?

That doesn't mean anything.
You know, when you got lemons,
you make lemonade.

Or in his case,
a giant zucchini.

Papi.

Let's go ask him.
Okay.

Mitch, move in
on the craps table for me.

Now move in on the shooter,
left side of the table.

Mike. You wanna grab
a drink after work?

Uh, let me get back to you on that.

I don't care how late you get off.

I'll wait.

I will definitely get back to you.

Okay.

Hi, Mr. Deline.
Oh, hi.

What's with her?

It's my mojo.

It's tough to dial it down sometimes.
Mm-hmm. I understand.

Check this out, Mr. D.
I've been trying to figure this out.

This guy's been in
four times this week.

Every time, he gets on a nice streak
at the craps table,

wins about eight or 10 grand,
then leaves.

Yeah. So?
Well, his point is always 10.

Always.
All right. Get him in.

Yeah. Oh, hi, honey.

So my dad says the diamonds
weren't on anyone-
or in anyone-

so they're going to interrogate
everybody, including me.

Have a seat.

Shouldn't I be handcuffed?

Uh, no.
I'm just going to ask you
a few questions.

Yes, you were the best sex ever.

Have you ever done it in here?

- No. No, I haven't.
- I bet you have.

And you probably invited
a few people to watch.

I'd try that.
It may be fun.

You know, you're the second person
I've run into today who thought that.

So you want to?
No. I'm trying to conduct
an interview here, Delinda,

so just-
Okay.

I'm sorry.
Be professional.

So, uh, did you notice
anything unusual at the video shoot?

I'm not wearing any panties.

See, uh, here's the thing, Pete.

You supplied the diamonds.

You kept 'em in this valise
until the shoot started.

Now it turns out
that they're fake.

Why would I steal the diamonds?

Maybe, uh-
Maybe you didn't
steal the diamonds.

Maybe there weren't
any real diamonds to start with.

And then again, maybe...

those insurance issues
you were talkin' about...

could have included
filing a false claim-
maybe.

I'm the one who's
gonna be paying a claim,
but not with a check.

More like body parts.

And yet you won't tell me
whose stones they were.

See-

I didn't exactly explain to him
what they were being used for.

Somehow he found out,

and he told me that...

if I didn't have them back to him
by noon tomorrow,

I'm a dead man.

This, uh, "he" person-
"he" person-

Does he have a name?
Castillo.

- Victor Castillo?
- Yeah.

Well, you're right.
He will kill you.

Yes. No. I-I need a room
for a Pete Natelson.

No, not Nathanson, Natelson.

Don't- Don't put his name
in the computer.

Right. Put it under my name.
Thank you.

All right, uh, you can stay
a couple days.

You don't know what a relief that is.
Good.

I'll have a couple of security guards
take you up there.

You know, Ed,

I really feel like you're a...

- friend now.
- I'm not.

Because I think
you would want a friend
to run the jewelry store space...

at the Montecito Mall.
Run the jewelry store space?

- Anthony's back at the craps table.
Still rolling tens.
- Wait in the hall.

So, uh, did you notice...

anything out of the ordinary
while shooting the video?

Yeah. Director trying to get over on me
with that fake jewelry.

- Now you know I don't play that, man.
- Right.

Uh, anything else?

One more thing.
Delinda- She fine as hell.

Yeah. Yeah, she's a very attractive woman.

So you saw the real diamonds
before the shoot, but-

- You know her?
- Who? Delinda?

- Yeah.
- Uh, yeah. Yeah.

I bet you hit that.

- Yeah, I did.
- You lookin' to hit that again?

She was in here just before you-
I was interviewing her-

and she told me she wasn't
wearing any panties.

That's what I'm talking about, man.
I need your job, man.

- Congratulations.
- Uh, Mr. Demby?

I'm Ed Deline.
I'm president here
at the Montecito.

- This is my associate, Mike Cannon.
- How do you know my name?

Well, Anthony, we notice
you've been having
a lot of luck...

at the craps table,
and we wanted to reward you...

with these dining coupons
good for any restaurant
at the Montecito.

And congratulations,
by the way.

Oh, thank you.

Do you use a system,
or is it just one
of those lucky streaks?

As a matter of fact, uh,

I sort of have a gift.

- A gift?
- I can win any time I want.

Aw, go on.
I mean, that's quite a statement.

I mean, are you saying
you can win any time you want?

There's a little something
curious here.

You seem to stop
at $8,000 and $10,000.
Why is that?

Right, uh-

It's the weirdest thing.

For some reason,
the feeling just seems to-

disappear right about then.

Suddenly I-
I don't feel like winning any more.

I think I got something here.

Uh, Anthony-

A guy like you,
with this special gift-

You could do wonders
for our publicity
here at the Montecito.

I think you could help us
do big business.
"The man who wins at will."

- Wouldn't you want to see a guy
who can win any time he wants?

I- I suppose so.
Yeah.

The bottom line is this. Look.
You can help us make a lot of money.

I mean, would you
try to help us make
a lot of money?

- And, of course,
I would pay you for that.
- Pay me?

Oh, yeah. I'm talking, uh-

You know, $100,000 neighborhood.

I must say, that is a-

That is a particularly
nice neighborhood.

Think of it as an appearance fee.

Huh?

Okay. I'm in.

Great. How's, uh-
How's 8:00 tonight?

Uh, 8:00 sounds great.
Great.
We'll see you at 8:00.

See you then.

So you think this dude
will actually cheat when
he knows we're watching?

For 100 grand, a greedy guy like that-
He'd rob a bank while you were watching.

Hey. Hey, where's Mike?
I'm meeting him for lunch.
Why? You need him?

Badly.

These are ready to go!
Come on!

What are you doing back here?
Your table's all ready up front.

Well, if you're in the west casino,
cutting through the kitchen-

So, is Mike gonna join you today?

I know you guys
eat lunch together sometimes.

Yeah, he's supposed to. Uh-

Here he is now.
Man, I am starving.

- Hey, Jamie, what you
got cooking up in here?
- I'll check.

You... certainly look good enough to eat.

- As usual.
- Thank you.

I get off at 5:00.

Okay. That's good to know.

What was that?

She says she's double-jointed.
Can put her legs over her head.

I didn't know that you and Jamie-
We're not.

I'm telling you, man, I don't know-
What do you mean, you're not?

We're not. Something-
The last couple of days-

I don't know why,
but all of a sudden,
I'm like this super chick magnet.

You know- More than usual.
You get used to it.

So I hear you're setting up
a sting for this craps tables guy?

Yeah, plus I got Mitch checking
every time he shows up
on the surveillance footage.

Uh, what about the diamond switch?
Well, Mary's-

There he is.
I need you to come
to my room and get naked.

- What?
- We know you're a male stripper.

And at first, I gotta admit,
I was a little grossed out,

but you know,
it's kind of a turn-on.

What the hell are
you talking about, Delinda?

I think you know
what we're talking about.

What? When did you start-
Okay, that was airbrushed.

Okay, when did you-

- Wait. This is not me.
This is not me.
- Oh, that's right, it's-

Hot Chocolate.

- Listen, I love game-playing too, honey.
- I'm not playing. This is not-

You like to game-play?
I totally do.

That's not me.
- I like to be a naughty schoolgirl.

All right. I'll be right up.
Mitch found some tape.

Get rid of that.

You know, uh, they used to call me
"King Cobra."

The ladies did.

Mike.

What do you got?
When he leaves the craps table,

he stops at a slot machine,
plays one turn
and then leaves.

But more often than not,

this other dude here
plays at that same machine...

after Demby leaves,
so I ran him through VideoIQ.

Turns out...

he was at the same
craps table as Demby.

I mean, he could have thought
Demby was good luck,
followed him to the slots.

Yeah, or Demby could be
using that slot as a drop-off
for something like loaded dice.

So what do you got on this guy?

Sidney Stoper, Kansas City address.

Same as Demby.

Wait a minute. If these guys were
switching dice, we'd catch it up here.
Well, maybe not.

Seeing all this prompted me
to check tape from the archives.

Now if this guy's
a real good dice cheat,

he'd be able to block
the camera's view
with his hands.

You know, something just occurred to me.

See, our job is to catch cheats.

Right.
So don't you think
we should fix that?

Well, I only discovered
this glitch 30 minutes ago.

That's no excuse.
No.

You know something?

I actually remember about 15 years ago
there was a guy who pulled this thing off.

He beat us pretty good
till we caught him.
Hmm.

Now, what is that idiot
doing out of his room?

Hey, Pete. Come here.

Didn't I tell you to stay in your room?

You did, but I wanted
to get you this.

Huh? For your wife.

Hopefully, then you'll think of me
when you're making the mall
jewelry store decision.

Listen. First of all,
I don't take bribes.

Second of all, now that
you've left and come back,
Castillo's looking for you.

He probably knows that you're here.

Then I'll go back to my room-
Which is very comfortable,
by the way.

If you change your mind,
five carats, total weight.
V.F. quality.

Go to your room.
Yeah.

Danny McCoy.
Danny, listen to me.

You have to find these diamonds
by tomorrow.

Because if you don't, I'm throwing
this guy Pete out of here.

Now, if I throw Pete out of here,
Castillo will probably kill him.

Now, if Castillo kills him,
I'll feel pretty guilty,
and I don't wanna feel guilty.

So please find those diamonds, okay?
I'm on it.

All right, is that everything?
Yeah.

From when the music video crew
first arrived till an hour ago.

We still got nothin'.

- All right, we might as well
screen that last hour too.
- I'll get it transferred over.

Thank you. Hey.

It's Mr. Chocolate.
That's not funny, man.

You want my advice?
You got two options.

You can either take advantage
of the situation-

I thought about that,
but I'm not a hit-and-run
kind of guy.

For me to get close
to a woman, there has to be
an emotional connection.

Well, that's the gayest thing
I've ever heard.

Well, then, three cheers
for my gay compadres.

You want option two?
What?

You counteract
the mistaken-identity thing
with a word-of-mouth campaign.

Well, how do I do that?
Who's the biggest
blabbermouth you know?

Delinda. Or maybe Sam.
Mary's no slouch.

What you gotta do is,
you gotta prove to them that
you're just, you know, average Mike.

I don't know if I'd say average.

Yeah.
Uh, Mitch?

I need you to set
one of our receivers...

to this frequency.
You wait your turn.

- We're working
on this diamond heist thing.
- How long will it be?

I need to test my new
surveillance camera.

This is a camera?

Where'd you get this?
Perfect setup, man.
I made it.

All you need is a
wireless pinhole camera,

some Play-Doh,
and an Easy-Bake Oven.

Hey, Danny,
check this out.

That's one of our pool guys.

They check the pool
every few hours.

They don't usually dive in, do they?
Mmm.

Maybe that's why we didn't find
the missing diamonds-
'Cause they never left the pool.

- Time code says this
was shot eight minutes ago.
- What's this guy's name?

Checking the employee database.

Got a match.

Javier Lopez.
Works for Mary.

Javier, this is Mr. McCoy.

Hi, Mr. McCoy.
Hi.

- You mind if I look
in your locker?
- No.

I mean, I got some pictures
Miss Connell might not like.
You know, kind of racy, but-

- What are you looking for?
- Missing diamonds.

- Danny.
- What?

There's a... bulge in his pants.

We-We're looking
for diamonds.

We're not looking at-
Well, how could I not look?
It's not right at all.

Look at it.

You wouldn't happen to know
where those diamonds are, would you?

- Yeah. Yeah, you know,
I was about to call you.
- Hmm.

Yeah. I found these
in the bottom of the pool.

No, you can give those to him.

Thanks, Javier.

Hi. Remember me?

Uh, I'm not sure I do.
I caught your show last Friday.

If you're talking about
"Thunder from Down Under"-

I'm the one that sort of...
grabbed you.

Yeah. It's not me.
I've never even been to the show.

Keeping your two lives separate-
I totally understand.

You know, it feels
a lot bigger than it looks.

You have the wrong guy. Sorry.

More to come. Denise.

Room 38...

05.

What up, Delinda?
What up, Flip?

Cranberry soda. Thanks.

On duty.
Yeah.

- You ever find those diamonds?
- Unfortunately not, but don't worry.

- Danny's all over it.
- I think Danny wanna be all over you.

He used to, but I'm not so sure now.

I mean, I dumped him.
Broke his heart. Long, long story.

I don't know.

You might wanna stick your toe
back in the water a little bit,
if you know what I mean.

- You think so?
- I know so.

It only transmits in black and white,

but the resolution is pretty good.

Looks pretty good though, huh?
Mm-hmm.

And if he moves,

the croupier just moves the chip with him.

If he switches the dice,
we got it.

How the heck did you
come up with this?

You just need a wireless pinhole camera,
some potter's clay,

and a sunlamp.

That's all you need?
Mm-hmm.

You know, I been-
I been thinkin' about this Demby.

Do me a favor.
Put, uh- Put him up here.

Remember I told you,
about 15 years ago...

I caught this guy, and his name
was, uh, Harrison Fielder?

Mm-hmm.
Do me a favor...

and put him up
next to Demby here.

The facial structure
seems very similar.

Run an iris scan.

Demby is Fielder.

I can't believe that's the same guy.
They don't look that much alike.

This guy ought to be married
to a plastic surgeon.

Anyway, I guess all we gotta do now
is wait for his little show tonight.

Uh, who is it?

Just open the door.

Hey. Great news.
Found your diamonds.

Oh! That is so great.
Thank you.

You're welcome.
Now Lil' Flip can finish
his video and you can-

You can go home.
I was gonna talk to you
about that.

Actually, you see-

If, uh, for instance, I already...

had the lease
on that store in the mall,

I could stay there for a few days.

So you wanna stay
in an empty store space?

You got 15 seconds to tell me
what the hell's going on.

Well, you-You probably
already heard this,

but the-the diamonds
are actually Victor Castillo's-

technically-

but the tricky part is,
I also owe him a little, uh, money.

So I figured by doing this favor
for you guys would get me...

that lease in the mall,
and then he'd know
I'd be good for the cash-

which is, admittedly,
a little overdue.

Danny McCoy.

Yeah. Okay. Thanks.

Well, Victor Castillo
is in the casino...

as we speak.
You gotta protect me.

For how long?
For the rest of your life?

That'd be great.

Ed Deline-
I figure somebody'd
tell you I was here.

Victor. My God.

I haven't seen you since, uh,
United States versus Castillo.

What was that? '93? '94?
That's good.
That's a sharp memory.

I like that, but see,
I ain't got time for chit-chat.

Maybe you could help me
find a friend of mine-
Pete Natelson.

Don't know the man.
That's funny.

'Cause, see, another friend
of mine, earlier today,
said that he was here,

and that he'd seen
the two of you talking.

But hey, you ain't seen him, right?
I'll tell you what.

Maybe if you run into him
in the near future,
you could give him a message.

You tell him that if he don't have my
diamonds and my 18 grand
by noon tomorrow,

he's a dead man.

I-I don't know who'd be stupid enough
to steal from a bad man like you.

"Bad"?

Don't worry. I know the rules.

See, I ain't gonna do it here.

I'm gonna wait till he leaves.

Then I'm gonna catch him slippin'.

See what I'm sayin'?

But you ain't seen him, right?
Tell you what.

If you run into him,
you give him that message
for me, yeah?

Why don't you get the hell
out of here.

No more videos.

So where's Castillo now?

I tossed the bum.

I wish you could have heard some
of this hysterical gangster crap
this guy was telling me.

I mean, you'd have died.

I guess he figured
that I'd run back to Pete
and tell him,

and scare him enough
so he'd pay up,
you know?

It was hysterical.
So what do you think
we should do now?

Well, what I think
we should do is, uh-

Well, find the person
who stole the diamonds.

- How does that help Pete?
- Just do it, all right?

Okay. Well, I'm sure that Javier
has got something to do with it,
but he did voluntarily...

hand over the rocks,
and he's got a pretty good alibi.

I guess he was working
down by the maintenance shed
during the time of the robbery.

If the diamonds were in the pool,
somebody had to put them
in there, right?

Yeah, but the problem is
that their equipment and lights
are blocking most of our camera angles.

I just wish that we had
some kind of a, you know,
some kind of a bird's-eye-

Let me get back to you.

Okay.
We're all set for Demby's
win-at-will show tonight.

Good, good, good.

Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam.
Yeah?

About this Hot Chocolate
situation-
Mm-hmm?

I can see where there might have
been some confusion.

I mean, I guess I do bear
some resemblance
to whoever this guy is.

Yeah, well, it's nothing
to be ashamed of, believe me.

My point is,
if you need definitive proof-

Yeah. Get naked in my room?
Not your room.

Neutral territory- Room 2116.

And I want Delinda
and Mary there too.
You got it. What time?

Right after we run the sting
on our dice cheater.

And once you've seen proof,
you all have to agree...

to utilize all of your
networking skills to clear the air.

I like the setup.
What setup?

You know, the whole "It's-not-me" rap,
so that after the reveal
we're even more impressed.

Would you just be there?
Yeah, yeah.

Are you kidding me?
I'll be there... with my tape measure.

Hey, you. You changed your mind.

We weren't too loud again,
were we?

No. I was wondering if I could
take a look at that video tape
that you guys were making.

That's hot.

No, we have reason to believe
that you guys may have
inadvertently...

recorded some evidence
of a crime.

I told you that one thing
was illegal.
Not in Nevada.

Hey, listen. It has nothing to do
with either one of you.

It's something that happened
at the Lil' Flip video shoot.

Your camera position
may have picked up some-

Some, uh- It doesn't matter.

If I could just get the tape.
Yeah, it's no problem.
It's right over here.

You know, maybe you
could do us a favor too.

You know, just in exchange...

for us sharing our rawest, most...

intimate moments
with a complete stranger.

Well, I'm sure that we
could work something out.

We were thinking about
launching a Web cam site,

and we would love
to get your feedback.

The part with the golf ball-
That's my favorite.

Fore.

Again, I want to thank you
for doing this for us.

I think it's gonna be
a real special treat
for our guests this evening.

It's my pleasure.

Let me get this straight.
All I've gotta do is just win
for a little while,

and then you give me 100 grand?

That's the deal.

Excellent.
Let the games begin.

Okay, Ed, we're all set.

Ladies and gentlemen,
your attention, please.

Gather around here for a second.

I have a very special treat
for you tonight.

I would like to introduce to you
Mr. Anthony Demby-

The man who can win
anytime he wants to.

Now as you all can well imagine,

Mr. Demby would not be allowed
in most casinos,

but here at the Montecito,
we welcome winners.

Matter of fact,
we celebrate winners.

So, uh, Anthony,

if that feeling has taken over,

why don't you, uh,
please start winning.

Think I may need
a little bit of luck.

Thank you.

The camera's not working.
Something must be interfering
with the signal.

Ten.

- What kind of interference?
- I don't know. I'm working on it.

Winner. Ten.

Well, work a little faster, will ya?
Before this guy walks out
with more of our money.

I don't think I'll ever be able
to play golf again.

And I don't want to hear
any hole-in-one jokes.

Uh, listen, I'm just gonna skip
to the part with the baby oil
and the plastic sheets.

- That'll fit our timeline.
- Danny.

Flip said you're still sweet on me.

That isn't exactly what I said.

Lookit, can we talk about this
some other time?

I'm sort of in the middle
of something.
Are you watching basement porn?

- We're looking for evidence in this-
- I've done that.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Wait, wait, wait.
Stop right there.

Okay, push in on the pool,
blow it up.

Oh. That's me.
Who's that next to you?

Oh, Veronique, my costar.

Flip gives her the cash,
me the diamonds.

Your costar?

I know it's not a big part,
but it's critical to the story line.

Back it up and slow it down.

Veronique- I knew she was
a bit squirrelly all along.

Those fake hair extensions.

It's time to pay Javier
a little visit.

It looks like there's some kind
of magnetic interference.

Winner, ten.

Uh, ladies and gentlemen,
I know you could
watch this all night,

but Mr. Demby
has been kind enough...

to agree to sign autographs
and take pictures with
his newfound fans.

- I did?
- And, uh, we thank you for that.

- Stay on Stoper.
- I'm on it.

That'll have to do it.

Anthony? Bye now.
Thank you.

That was quick.

Well, people's attention spans
are getting a little shorter
nowadays, you know?

Yeah. I get the money now, right?

Absolutely. I have the check
right up in my office.

Uh, well, maybe I'll, uh,
just go and cash in my chips first.

Kathleen? Would you
cash these in for Mr. Demby,

and bring the money upstairs?
Right away.

Right.
Thank you.

Look, if it's all the same to you,
can I meet you upstairs
in a few minutes?

I need to use the little boys' room.

Well, sure.
It's right there in the corner.

Sorry. That's a loser.

High-powered magnet.

I guess you and Demby were using
a little different approach this time.

Magnets aren't illegal.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm-

So why do you have one hidden
in your P.D.A.?

See, when you just roll the dice,
nothing happens.

But you activate this thing,

tens start appearing.

I gotta tell you though, Sidney,
just having these two little toys
in the casino-

It's enough to send you away.

- It was Demby's idea.
- It was Sidney's idea.

Well, unfortunately,
we have you on tape, cheating.

There's another problem.

See, once they find out
your real name
is Harrison Fielder...

and they get a look
at your old record,
man, that's bad.

Listen to me. I-

I don't know what you're talking about.
I've never heard of any Harrison Fielder.

You know, no matter how much
plastic surgery you have,
your irises don't change.

But maybe if you give the D.A.
the name of your surgeon
he'll cut you a deal.

He's looking a little tired
around his eyes.

I still get the 100 grand, right?
For winning at will.

Why don't we hold it
while you're away
at college?

Hey, hey, hey. Wait a minute.

- You said I'd get 100 grand.
- Mm-hmm.

- You lied.
- Yeah. Yeah, I guess I did.

Here he is, boys.

You get Veronique to implicate herself,
and maybe we'll work something out.

Thank you, Mr. McCoy.
I don't know why
I got involved.

She just, you know-

Used all her feminine charms.
Know what I mean?

Oh, I think every man
knows what you mean.

Hey.

Hey, baby.

You got the diamonds?

I thought you wanted them later.

Later?

What did I tell you?

"Dive down and get the diamonds
I dropped in the pool."
Isn't that what I said?

Yeah. That's what we thought
you probably said.

Well, we know that Veronique
took the diamonds.

So you wanna tell me
how this helps Pete?

Yeah. I want you to listen
and learn.

Okay.
Thank you.

Ah. How do you do?

I guess you know
that you're going to jail.

I mean, you do know that, right?

We did give the diamonds back
to their rightful owner,
but unfortunately,

that's not gonna help you.

Have you, uh,
ever been in prison?

It's very, very unpleasant.

How much would you pay
not to go to prison?

- A lot.
- Eighteen thousand dollars?

Well, you're looking at 10 years.
That's like 1800 a year.

- That seems like a pretty good deal.
- Yeah, I can find 18,000.

Good. So here's what you're gonna do.

You're gonna find that 18,000,

and then you're gonna give it
to a man named Victor Castillo,

and then you're gonna tell him
that the money came from a man
named Pete Natelson.

- Who are they?
- Do you want to ask questions,
or do you want to stay out of jail?

Right. Victor Castillo
from Pete Natelson.

Okay.
Gin.

Welcome to the Morrison
bachelorette party, ladies.

Hi.

I present to you...

the real Hot Chocolate.

See, I told you guys
it wasn't him.

That's too bad.
Having a naughty secret, Mike,
made you a hell of a lot more interesting.

Yeah, well, Sam-

Sam? Can I get an apology?

Uh-huh. Sorry.

Have any singles?
Uh-huh.

Oh, hey, Ed.

Listen, uh,

Victor Castillo told me
you guys were all square.

I don't know how to thank you.
You literally saved my life.

Well, uh, you know how
you can really thank me?
No. How?

Never set foot inside
this casino again.

Fair enough.
I think so.

Uh, is the mall considered
part of the casino?

Get him out of here.

Come on. Let's go.

Are you guys enjoying the show?

Hell, yes!
Yeah!

Hey!
That tape that you gave me...

- turned out to be evidence.
- Oh.

Yeah. You guys really helped me out.
Thank you.

Yeah, well, uh, we had
another tape that you
might want to watch.

You know- for some more,
uh, "evidence."

No. No, thank you.

Anyway, I'll see you.

Hey.
Hey.

Just so you know-
Before, when I asked
about you being sweet on me,

I wasn't suggesting anything.

Yes, you were.

You wish I was.
No. You were.

The only thing I wish is that
we don't have to beat around the bush.

We're consenting adults, right?
Absolutely.

Absolutely.

I mean, if we wanna
have sex with each other,
we should just say so.

Absolutely.

Ow.
