Las Vegas (2003–2008): Season 3, Episode 2 - Fake the Money and Run - full transcript
The Montecito experiences several financial perils. Ed Deline worries about chip cheaters who already got away with $1,200,000...
How many of these did you find?
Just one so far.
Boy, that's pretty damn good.
Near perfect.
What's perfect?
I was doing a random check,
found a counterfeit
$100 chip.
Costs a lot of money
to make a phony this good.
You guys found a fake chip?
How long has he been on duty?
He's been up 36 hours.
I told him to take a break-
You go home. Get some sleep.
I'm fine.
If it's such a good fake,
how can you tell it's fake?
Felt a little heavy in my hand,
so I weighed it.
Ends up it's 34 centigrams over specs,
which only allow for a seven
centigram variance margin.
You could tell this
was 34 centigrams heavy
just by holding it?
So happens I could.
Why are you being such a hater?
You know how little
34 centigrams is?
Shut up. Both of you shut up.
You-You... go home,
get some sleep
or I will put you to sleep.
- Yeah.
- And you,
just find out if anything
unusual happened
on the floor last 24 hours.
I'm taking all the new chips
off the floor.
- Whoa. That's big.
- You got a better idea?
- I can stick around and help.
- Excuse me.
I'm sorry. I thought I was getting
through to you. Go home.
Okay.
I'm gonna be here
another 20 minutes.
I gotta meet my accountant.
Go home.
Okay. Here.
Hey, um, tell the cage, uh,
we're gonna switch out the chips.
Yes, all of them.
Ed, it looks like the only
counterfeits are hundreds.
So, what's going on?
We're just changing our chips...
to get our players' feedback
on our color combinations.
- Well, I prefer burgundy and taupe.
- And you, sir?
Only color I care about is green.
Know what I'm sayin'?
Ed, they took us for over a million.
Percentage of counterfeits
stayed consistent.
What, they have a million
of our money?
Million point two.
Also, I looked into anything
unusual on the floor yesterday.
Only thing was
a blackjack dealer, Jerry Smoltz,
who was dealing 75% winners
for three straight hours.
One of Sam's whales won
300 grand at a private table.
And he's back at it today.
But I checked the tape and
everything's on the up-and-up.
Just one of those runs.
Right. Look.
I don't want Monica finding out
about these phony chips, all right?
She owns the place. Kinda hard
to keep her out of the loop.
Unless she's preoccupied
with some other major crisis like, uh,
this dealer who can't seem
to deal a losing hand.
I'm just afraid, Mike,
that if she finds out about it,
the wrong heads can roll. You know?
Like mine?
I don't want the cops involved.
Not yet anyway.
Not until we get our money back.
- Mr. Deline.
- How are you, Sarasvati?
Good. They told me
you needed to see me right away.
Right.
The, um, daily revenue reports,
when are they scheduled to go out?
An hour or so,
but if you need it sooner-
No, no, no.
Actually, I'd like the distribution
delayed till I tell you.
Mr. Deline,
under normal circumstances,
I would gladly accommodate
your request,
but Miss Mancuso
had already requested-
You just tell Miss Mancuso
that it was my decision.
We don't want her to find out
about the counterfeit chips.
Oh. It's very hard for me
to be duplicitous.
Which is why we love you.
Thanks, Mike.
Well, plus some of your other
outstanding attributes.
Please. Please!
Tell Miss Mancuso to talk to me.
This is Mike.
I'll be right down.
Two guys throwin' at Bella Petto.
Look, man, read the sign.
Read the freakin' sign, all right.
Look, I am here.
Get up, read the sign because-
What is the problem?
That douche bag
took a chair I reserved.
I left my magazine and
sunblock on the table.
Only thing that reserves
a chair is a towel.
You don't know jack, pal.
Sir, there are plenty
of other lounges available.
Okay, I get it.
Uh, first of all,
give it another 30 minutes.
There'll be 10 more
just like her out here.
Trust me on this.
Looks like your brother
from another mother
beat you to it.
So what you gonna do, hmm?
Relax, sit back and enjoy
the Bella Petto experience.
Believe me,
there is nothing more important
than asset management.
And I mean that, really.
Listen, why don't you-
Why don't you call me? Okay?
Thanks.
All right.
You setting up shop here?
Oh, well, you know.
Hey, if, uh, the mountain
won't come to Muhammad-
Hey, Danny, look.
As your accountant
and as your friend,
I sort of feel I have some kind
of fiduciary obligation
to advise you-
I know. You want me
to sell my dad's house. I will.
Hey, every month you don't,
- you're incurring a wholly
unnecessary tax liability.
- I get it.
- You like that?
- Yeah, I get it.
Yeah? What about this? What if
I put you in touch with a broker?
I'd love to chat, Stan,
but I gotta go home
and get some sleep.
Good. Then you can be fresh
for my poker game tonight, huh?
Yes, sir. Hey.
Hey. An accountant that works
out of a topless pool. Nice.
He's bugging me
about selling my dad's house.
How much you say
he bought the place for?
He bought the land for 16,000
and built the house himself.
16,000?
Yeah.
You know how much it's worth?
A million and a half.
Excuse me.
I think someone took my wallet.
You heard Ed.
I gotta get some sleep. So-
Come on, Jerry. Give him a six.
Yes!
Look at that. He listens.
You are the man, Jerry!
Oh!
I'm winning more money.
I'm winning more money!
All right.
Keep it comin', Jerry,
'cause I'm in the zone
and you are en fuego.
I've never seen anything like it.
We've switched tables on him.
We've switched decks.
We even switched chips.
The man keeps dealing winners.
How much has he cost us?
This guy is up 300,000.
Are you sure
the dealer isn't cheating?
Maybe he's signaling the player.
We did a complete analysis.
It's just one of those streaks.
Well, if he continues
on one of those streaks,
doesn't it make sense to put him
where he's gonna cause
the least amount of damage?
Yes, Miss Mancuso, it does.
The people here, do they think
about making sense?
We try to, Miss Mancuso.
And what's with
the Miss Mancuso routine?
I thought you told me
that's what you wanted me to call you.
I think somebody needs to work
on their sense of humor.
It was a joke.
Oh.
I'm Monica.
Got it. Monica.
So, Mike-
Yes?
What sort of impression
do I make?
Come again?
If we were in a bar
and you hadn't seen me before.
Oh.
Can I speak candidly?
I insist you speak candidly.
I'd think you were
a hot piece of ass.
Good answer.
- Sarasvati.
- Yes, Miss Mancuso?
You told me you would have
the opening day revenue report
by now. Where is it?
I'm afraid it's
still being prepared.
Unacceptable.
Mr. Deline had some
special requests.
He suggested
you speak to him.
Come on. Show some cleavage.
It's a casino, not a convent.
Okay, okay. That's me taking
the first counterfeit I found.
Now, let's run it backwards...
until we see that specific tray
being removed from the cart.
All right?
Wow. That's an easy gig.
We pay these guys for that?
Okay. Now follow-
Who is that, Marguerite?
Follow Marguerite backwards
until we see where she got that tray.
Keep going. Keep going.
'Cause we want to see
where that top chip in the far
left column came from.
Okay. Give me the casino angle.
Boom!
Let's see what we got on her.
And while you're at it,
give me Bella Petto,
south deck about 11:00.
Go tight on the topless chick
near the middle,
in the black bikini bottom.
She's good, but about 1:30...
got two blondes
putting oil on each other.
Got it bookmarked.
Mitch, this is business.
Just a skosh more professionalism,
if you don't mind.
See. See.
While you're getting your perv on,
this guy's lifting this other
dude's wallet. Freeze it.
Blow it up. Let's see
what we got on him too.
I'm in a surveillance zone,
baby. What?
I bet 50.
Holding three clubs, aren't you?
Fold.
When does the Pussycat Dolls go on?
Fold.
I'll see your 50.
Raise you a hundred.
Let's go. Call or fold.
Make a decision.
- Can we try to finish?
- I'm 40 light. You mind?
- What?
- No, there's no going light
in my game, pal.
Come on.
It's more for you if you win.
Doesn't cost you if you lose.
- Go ahead.
- Aw, man.
- Write that down.
- What am I, your secretary?
Yes.
Beat his ass.
- Three nines?
- Yeah, three nines.
Told ya.
Good. Good. You deserve it.
Hey, I was a fan. Give me at least half.
Why don't you run over
to that A.T.M.
Yeah, right.
You can finally pay me back.
Oh, damn. You know what?
I must have forgotten my debit card.
Oh, what a shock.
Listen to this.
I'm really sorry.
If you give me your number,
I'll call ya and bring the money to ya.
I don't take I.O.U.'s
from guys that I just met.
Forty bucks.
Oh, wait.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
How 'bout this?
What's that?
Hundred dollar five-team parlay-
Bucs, Rams, Chargers,
Seahawks, Lions.
From the Montecito.
Huh?
- No way the Rams cover. You kidding?
- I owe you 40.
This thing pays,
you'll get two grand, man.
Come on.
Come on!
Give us a break.
Start betting on Korean Ping-Pong.
And get out of here.
All right, fine. All right.
It's me. So what?
I don't know anything
about fake chips.
You don't know anything
about fake chips?
You cashed it in.
This isn't fair.
No.
- It isn't fair, is it?
- It wasn't even my chip.
I mean, someone gave it to me.
Who?
Um, I think his name was Alan
or Adam, something like that.
Where or when
did he give you the chip?
I'll tell you if you give me
Elton John tickets.
Done.
Okay, well, like, let's see 'em.
Elton John, front row,
tomorrow night.
Ah! Like, talk.
I remember his name-Alex.
Alex. Great.
Um, when did
he give you the chip?
Well, see, I was over by the fountains,
you know, at the Bellagio,
and when I left,
this guy Alex sees me,
like, a couple of blocks away
and he's like,
"I saw you over by the fountains.
Where are you staying?"
And he's kinda hot,
so I'm like, "the Montecito."
Um, where did
he give you the chip?
- Here.
- Here?
- In your room?
- Well, like, we had drinks at Pure.
And then he's like,
"Do you want to go back to your room?"
And I'm kinda drunk,
so I'm like, "Okay."
And then after
we hook up, he goes, "Here,"
ya know, with the chip.
And I'm like,
"I'm so not that type of a girl."
And he's like, "I know.
I just, like, like you,
so I'm giving you this."
Completely believable.
Did Alex say he had to leave
because he had an early morning
meeting he had to get up for?
Yeah. How'd you know?
Wait a minute. Freeze it.
And run that guy.
What are you lookin' at?
Nothin'.
I need the, um, name
and address of anyone...
that's been fired or quit
our chip manufacturer
in the last 30 days.
Acme?
Yeah, that would be the name.
Do it.
Why did you tell the Indian girl
to delay the revenue report?
Her name is Sarasvati.
And unfortunately
we had to fix a glitch...
in our asset management
ratio analysis program.
Or it would have put our
activity-based costing system off
by three or four percent.
Well, we wouldn't want that
to happen, now would we?
Next time, check with me first.
Okay, Eddie?
"Eddie."
Unbelievable.
What?
This is a betting slip
that guy used to pay me.
It's a winner.
It's a five-team parlay.
- My man, you just won 2,000 bucks.
- Two thousand bucks!
Two thousand bucks!
- Nice.
- That'll teach that guy
to go light on me.
You know what I'm sayin'?
Wait. Whoa.
You think I should cash this in?
Nah, you should frame it,
or take it to one of those places
where they encase stuff in plastic.
I'm a key employee.
Gaming Commission
says key employees...
aren't allowed to wager
at the casino that employs them.
This was given to you by somebody
who was repaying a debt.
But they're gonna have me
on video cashing the thing in.
That doesn't look good.
No, no, no.
Hey, man, you want
to make a little money?
Yeah.
Cash this in for me, I'll give you 10%.
That's 200 bucks.
There's a catch, right?
No catch.
He's just lazy.
'Cause he's lazy.
That's hard, man.
Right.
Two thousand bucks.
How 'bout that?
So, how are things going?
I was gonna head over to my dad's
and start clearing the place out.
Ah, good move.
Mary's gonna go with me.
Ah.
It's easier to go in
with someone else.
- Yeah, I hear ya.
- Hey, guys.
I know you didn't find anything
on that guy that took my wallet,
but here's the thing.
I've been looking all day
for a betting slip, and then
I remembered it's in my wallet.
It was a five-team parlay-
Bucs, Rams, Seahawks, Chargers,
Lions, for God's sake.
It's the first time in my life
I got 'em all right.
Ticket's worth $2,000.
So I figured someone cashes it in,
you could look at the videotape.
There's our thief.
Yeah. Uh, could you excuse me
for one moment?
Of course, there's
no guarantee that the thief
would turn it in himself.
You meeting us here
is kind of a coincidence.
We were just discussing your case.
That's a great detection idea,
Howard,
but I guess we feel like
you've been inconvenienced enough.
So, on behalf of the Montecito,
allow me to pay you off on the bet.
- There you go.
There's eighteen hundred.
- Wow.
And I'll just pull- 2,000.
Thanks.
I-I don't know what to say.
I will definitely recommend
your hotel to everyone I know.
That's the guy I played poker with.
And our wallet thief.
And the guy who cost
me 240 bucks.
Now it's personal.
Uh-oh. Better tell the women
and children to take cover.
Are you kidding me?
Seriously, I.R.S. problems?
Forget about it.
The I.R.S. is like putty
in my hands, honey.
Really, no worry.
It's putty?
Stan, what do you know about
that guy Roger who played in
your poker game the other night?
Uh, why don't you call me.
Uh, not much, you know.
And I'm really sorry about
that whole situation, man, really.
The guy is sitting at a table
with Paul Anka and he goes light?
I was wondering
if you have an address,
phone number, last name.
He robbed one of our guests.
Oh, you gotta be-
Oh, I am so sorry.
No, it's not your fault, but
I was just wondering if maybe
you could help me find him.
He was just a fill-in.
He was referred to me
by one of my clients.
You know Pomona,
dancer at the Rhino?
No, Stan, I don't.
You don't?
She was here just yesterday.
I don't know her, but maybe you
can tell me a little bit about her.
She lives in Henderson.
I got her in zero coupon bonds.
She just got herself
a new Mustang convertible.
I want to-
And for what it's worth, if you
ever see her, uh, they're real. Whoa.
I want an address.
All right. You got it, boss.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Thank you.
Sorry. Sorry.
- I want that man fired.
- I'm not sure we can do that.
Says who?
Fired for what?
He's cost this hotel
a lot of money.
Let me tell you about something
that'll cost a lot more.
It's called
a wrongful termination suit.
- This dealer hasn't violated
any state or federal laws?
- No.
- Hotel or Gaming Commission policies?
- I don't believe so.
And there's no acts of moral turpitude,
no guest complaints?
What about the boss's complaints?
You have no grounds
for dismissal.
And I assume I can't fire you
for providing completely
disagreeable advice.
I can't fire him. Happy?
I'm so sorry.
Well, don't celebrate too much.
I have a plan.
Can't wait.
I want you to find a cooler.
Did you just say a "cooler"?
Yeah, I just said a cooler.
Right.
Monica, I know people
talk about coolers,
oh, and they made the movie,
but, uh, there's no such thing
as a cooler.
Did I hear someone mention
a cooler? Hi, Monica.
Because I am one.
Every time I go to a table,
whoever's there starts to lose.
Doesn't matter how much
they were winning before,
I show up, everything heads south.
It's wacky.
Delinda, I want you to go over
to that table...
and stand as close
to the dealer as you can get.
- I don't want to make people lose.
- Oh, I guess I'd call it an order.
I'm just here to try
to patch things up with my father.
We're not really speaking.
I work at Pure.
Oh, my mistake.
I will just have to take
my frustration out...
on your good friend, Sam,
who is working here.
Okay, I'll do it.
What do you think
of our new owner?
Pretty tough broad.
But, uh, I guess she has to be.
She's a cooler.
Serious?
Told ya.
Maybe I'm not a cooler.
Well played.
Only one guy's left Acme recently-
a Richie Tomczak.
Uh, but it was for medical reasons.
His doctor said that he had
some bad disease, only had
a couple months to live.
What did I ask you for,
a medical report or address?
Uh, yes, sir. An address.
Mr. Tomczak? Richie?
Hey.
Holy-
I guess your doctor was right.
What did you tell the cops?
What do you think I told them?
I told them the truth.
I mean, pretty close.
Actually, I told them, uh,
I went there to talk to Richie...
about some possible
counterfeiting problem we had.
Anyway, I told them
the door was unlocked.
Sit down.
So they'll focus on the murder.
Right.
You think Tomczak was involved
with the chip counterfeiting?
There's a pretty good chance.
You needed someone's expertise,
you know, for the clay formulation
and the mold making.
But he left Acme
before the chip design was finalized.
Yeah.
Okay. So, the counterfeiters,
they walk in the minute
we open, right- 12:01.
They buy a legitimate $100 chip.
They walk out.
They start making their own by 12:02.
Now if they're any good,
they start cranking out
them phonies before noon.
Except, Ed, the machine
that produces the high quality chips...
is extremely rare
and extremely expensive.
And I talked
to the manufacturer, and he said
there's only six in existence...
and the only one anywhere
near here is at Acme.
All the others, there's no way
they could have produced the fakes...
and gotten 'em back here
in the same day.
Did you talk to the other five
places that have these machines
to see if they still have 'em?
- I will get on that.
- Good. Oh, listen.
I need you to check
surveillance video...
for anyone that came in, uh,
between 12:00 and 3:00 yesterday...
and went directly
to the cage or to a table
and cashed in a $100 chip.
Mr. D., that's like
thousands of people.
- We might need more time-
- We don't need any time.
You-You need time because
I expect this done by tonight.
So does Jake care that you're
helping me with all this stuff?
He's working late.
Seems like he does that a lot.
Remember this?
Yeah, I remember that.
I remember how pissed you were
when I solved it before you.
I'm still pissed.
I wonder what I could get
for this thing-
If you ask me one more time...
how much you could
get for that on eBay,
I swear, I will deck you.
I'm not gonna say anything.
Uh-huh.
Probably couldn't get more
than a couple of bucks.
That's it. Give me that.
You can have it.
There you go.
Thank you.
Well, we should
probably go to the bedroom and...
start clearing stuff out of there.
Right. Yes.
This is weird.
And this is really weird.
Who's this?
- I don't know.
- How could there be a photo of my dad
with his arm around this woman...
on his nightstand and
I don't even know who she is.
Maybe she's an old friend.
Nah, she's gotta be a new friend.
This was taken at the Wynn.
The Wynn didn't open
until just before he died.
Then maybe she's a new friend.
Why wouldn't
he tell me about her?
I know. It's because
I didn't call him often enough.
I wasn't gonna say that.
All right.
Let's hit the closet.
Yeah.
We did it.
What did we do?
It took a lot of people.
It took a lot of man-hours,
but we checked everyone
that came into the casino
between noon and 3:00.
You want to guess
how many people that is?
No. What do you got?
Three people came in
and went directly to a cage or table
and cashed in $100 chips.
One of those people,
I would definitely call him
a person of interest.
You know what I mean?
No.
His name's Ben Hollis.
No record. But you remember Sean...
who got her counterfeit chip
from the guy she hooked up
with-Alex.
If you keep tracking Ben,
like I did, you get to this.
Ben giving Alex
a stack of phony chips.
Interesting coincidence.
Okay. Find him.
Gift shop.
What about those
chip-making machines?
All five machines outside
Vegas are accounted for.
One was recently sold
and is in transit from
New Jersey to California,
but the buyer says
he's been checking
with the driver every day.
- The truck's currently in Colorado.
- How can you be sure of that?
I got the driver's number,
called him and verified
the location of the cell-
westbound I-70, just this side
of the Eisenhower Tunnel.
Yes, but cellphone calls
can be rerouted.
You get any specs on the rig?
Yes, upstairs.
All right.
Great.
It's Deline. I need, uh, some
satellite surveillance images.
Yeah. Colorado. All right. What?
Yeah.
Send 'em to Mike Cannon
over here, okay?
Thanks a lot.
Well, hi. I'm, uh, Ed Deline.
I'm president of operations here.
You, uh, finding
everything you need?
Yeah. Yeah.
Me too.
Oh, sorry.
What the hell is this?
Let's go.
I didn't know
they were fakes, really.
This guy came up to me,
said he'd pay me $500
to cash in some chips for him.
And you being a bright,
college-educated young man,
you thought that sounded
like a legitimate offer?
I thought it sounded a little bogus,
but it's 500 bucks.
All right.
So, now you made the deal.
Then what?
Told me to meet him by this truck
parked off the Strip.
- What kind of truck?
- Big semi-trailer truck.
Good. Did you happen to see
what was in the back of this truck
or who was driving?
No. No. I just met
that one dude there,
and he gave me all these $100 chips,
like $10,000 worth.
Then he told me to cash 'em in
and meet him at this other place...
where he'd give me more chips
and another 500.
He said he had people watching me,
so I shouldn't try anything funny.
- What did this one dude look like?
- Kinda regular looking.
Regular size.
Regular clothes.
Regular face.
You really are
a very observant young man.
So, do I get to go now?
Mmm, no. No.
Not till we find this,
uh, Mr. Regular Guy.
Yeah?
I want something done about this.
I know we can't fire him,
but I want something done.
Listen, Monica.
It's a dollar table.
He can't possibly be hurting us
that badly.
Now, see all those people watching?
They're gonna end up
at another table.
And more than likely
they're gonna be losing.
So, I am betting that that guy
right there is generating
a positive cash flow.
It's the principle.
It's like he's mocking us.
Excuse me.
Look. Let me try
to explain something to you.
Owning a hotel/casino in Vegas
is supposed to be a lot of fun.
Just look at the Maloofs.
They have a blast all the time.
I mean, all the time.
Just loosen up a little, huh?
Yeah, well, Mike and I talked
about that, having fun.
We did?
Yeah, we did.
We did, didn't we?
We did.
Uh, I better get back
to the surveillance room.
Um, okay, listen.
I'll figure something out, okay?
Good.
We're all gonna loosen up.
Ah, Patrick.
Yes, sir.
Here. Excuse me.
Take a break.
Excuse me, folks.
I just, uh- Go ahead.
I just want to talk to you.
I know why you're here.
I saw you talking to Miss Mancuso.
I don't know what's going on.
I'm not doing anything different-
Just relax, Jerry.
There's nothing wrong.
Just nothing.
Just relax, okay?
I'm not gonna be fired?
No. No.
Miss Mancuso hates me.
I can feel it.
Just give her time.
She's learning how things
work around here.
Listen. Here's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna, uh- I'm gonna give
you a paid leave of absence
for a couple days, okay?
Until whatever the hell it is
that you've got blows over.
If not,
we'll make a little potion-
Hi, Jerry. I need Jerry.
No, no, no.
He's through for the day.
Duncan Sabusawa says his wife
has never won a hand at blackjack.
And I told him
I'd put her at Jerry's table.
Just a few hands.
Private table?
A couple. A couple hands.
Okay.
I shouldn't have done that.
What's up, boss?
Look at this.
We got two trucks.
See, this one over here...
with the chip-making machine
and the call numbers on the top,
that's heading
from Jersey to California,
just like it's supposed to.
And we got this other one...
just keeps circling
near our casino for 24 hours.
Then it's out of town
towards truck number one.
But if truck number one
is the one with the machine-
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold on. Hold on.
This is what I'm thinking.
The truck that we saw
over here on the Strip...
gets the machine from the first truck
as soon as it leaves Jersey.
Then it hauls its ass back to Vegas,
makes a million dollars worth of phonies,
hauls its ass back to the first truck,
and transfers the machine back.
Now, truck number one
just continues to go about
its business, make a delivery,
and we wind up scratching our heads.
Listen. Go gas up the helicopter.
Insurance?
What, you think losing
four hands in a row is funny?
- No, sir.
- I want a new dealer.
Of course.
Hey, Ed, we should be
at the truck in 20 minutes.
Hi. I'm Danny McCoy.
I'm looking for a friend
of yours, Roger.
Roger? Um,
I don't think I know any Roger.
I met him at
your accountant's poker game.
Roger?
Yeah, Roger.
And Roger's in a little trouble.
Oh.
I-
What, are you trying
to protect him?
No, I don't even-
'Cause he's a thief.
I might have met him,
but I don't really know him.
Hardly at all.
Where is he?
I might have his number inside.
Okay, great.
Hey.
Well, hi.
Hey, you're not the right driver.
Maybe we should
call the cops now.
I could've sworn I had Roger's
number in here somewhere.
Anyone else in the house?
No.
Whose car is that out there?
Not the Mustang, but the other one?
Oh, that's- that's my old car.
Ah. So what kind of car is that?
Um, it's a- it's a blue one.
I don't really pay attention
to the brands. I just-
Wait. Wait!
I think I know where
I left his number.
Okay, okay. Okay!
You owe me some money!
- Uh, you really think this is a good idea?
- I got 'em. I got 'em.
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Look, look!
I ran because,
well, I didn't want my wife
finding out I was here.
We're seeing each other.
But some guy just gave me
that betting slip, okay?
And I didn't take that wallet.
Oh, so you didn't take it?
No.
Well, who's that?
Huh?
And who's that?
Do you want to have sex with me?
Wait! Wait! Really!
Really, sex as many times
as you want!
Whoa! Maybe we should
call the cops now.
Where's my money?
- You're lucky I didn't grab you, bitch.
- Just call the cops.
Messed up my suit.
Danny, stop!
How 'bout a three-way?
Really, I can set it up. Danny!
Really, a three-way!
I can set it up.
I can set it-
I can make a call. Come on.
I heard everyone
started losing again.
Yeah.
Why are you so happy?
Oh, I know.
Everyone losing means
I really am a cooler.
Actually, I knew I was all along.
And though I don't like to see
people lose, I guess it does
make me even more special.
Thanks, Jer.
All the cash is gone,
but I think all the credit cards
are still there.
Thanks. I didn't think
I'd see this again.
There it is.
You guys are the best.
We do our best.
All right, take care.
Miss Mancuso.
The revenue report for opening day.
I think you'll be quite pleased
with the results.
Hi.
Hi.
This is kind of out of the blue,
but I'm a real estate agent...
and I heard that the owner
might be looking to sell.
Are you the owner?
Yes. Danny McCoy.
Penny Posin.
Nice to meet you.
Danny, I'm a really
hardworking agent
and I could really use the listing.
Come on in.
Ow.
Just one so far.
Boy, that's pretty damn good.
Near perfect.
What's perfect?
I was doing a random check,
found a counterfeit
$100 chip.
Costs a lot of money
to make a phony this good.
You guys found a fake chip?
How long has he been on duty?
He's been up 36 hours.
I told him to take a break-
You go home. Get some sleep.
I'm fine.
If it's such a good fake,
how can you tell it's fake?
Felt a little heavy in my hand,
so I weighed it.
Ends up it's 34 centigrams over specs,
which only allow for a seven
centigram variance margin.
You could tell this
was 34 centigrams heavy
just by holding it?
So happens I could.
Why are you being such a hater?
You know how little
34 centigrams is?
Shut up. Both of you shut up.
You-You... go home,
get some sleep
or I will put you to sleep.
- Yeah.
- And you,
just find out if anything
unusual happened
on the floor last 24 hours.
I'm taking all the new chips
off the floor.
- Whoa. That's big.
- You got a better idea?
- I can stick around and help.
- Excuse me.
I'm sorry. I thought I was getting
through to you. Go home.
Okay.
I'm gonna be here
another 20 minutes.
I gotta meet my accountant.
Go home.
Okay. Here.
Hey, um, tell the cage, uh,
we're gonna switch out the chips.
Yes, all of them.
Ed, it looks like the only
counterfeits are hundreds.
So, what's going on?
We're just changing our chips...
to get our players' feedback
on our color combinations.
- Well, I prefer burgundy and taupe.
- And you, sir?
Only color I care about is green.
Know what I'm sayin'?
Ed, they took us for over a million.
Percentage of counterfeits
stayed consistent.
What, they have a million
of our money?
Million point two.
Also, I looked into anything
unusual on the floor yesterday.
Only thing was
a blackjack dealer, Jerry Smoltz,
who was dealing 75% winners
for three straight hours.
One of Sam's whales won
300 grand at a private table.
And he's back at it today.
But I checked the tape and
everything's on the up-and-up.
Just one of those runs.
Right. Look.
I don't want Monica finding out
about these phony chips, all right?
She owns the place. Kinda hard
to keep her out of the loop.
Unless she's preoccupied
with some other major crisis like, uh,
this dealer who can't seem
to deal a losing hand.
I'm just afraid, Mike,
that if she finds out about it,
the wrong heads can roll. You know?
Like mine?
I don't want the cops involved.
Not yet anyway.
Not until we get our money back.
- Mr. Deline.
- How are you, Sarasvati?
Good. They told me
you needed to see me right away.
Right.
The, um, daily revenue reports,
when are they scheduled to go out?
An hour or so,
but if you need it sooner-
No, no, no.
Actually, I'd like the distribution
delayed till I tell you.
Mr. Deline,
under normal circumstances,
I would gladly accommodate
your request,
but Miss Mancuso
had already requested-
You just tell Miss Mancuso
that it was my decision.
We don't want her to find out
about the counterfeit chips.
Oh. It's very hard for me
to be duplicitous.
Which is why we love you.
Thanks, Mike.
Well, plus some of your other
outstanding attributes.
Please. Please!
Tell Miss Mancuso to talk to me.
This is Mike.
I'll be right down.
Two guys throwin' at Bella Petto.
Look, man, read the sign.
Read the freakin' sign, all right.
Look, I am here.
Get up, read the sign because-
What is the problem?
That douche bag
took a chair I reserved.
I left my magazine and
sunblock on the table.
Only thing that reserves
a chair is a towel.
You don't know jack, pal.
Sir, there are plenty
of other lounges available.
Okay, I get it.
Uh, first of all,
give it another 30 minutes.
There'll be 10 more
just like her out here.
Trust me on this.
Looks like your brother
from another mother
beat you to it.
So what you gonna do, hmm?
Relax, sit back and enjoy
the Bella Petto experience.
Believe me,
there is nothing more important
than asset management.
And I mean that, really.
Listen, why don't you-
Why don't you call me? Okay?
Thanks.
All right.
You setting up shop here?
Oh, well, you know.
Hey, if, uh, the mountain
won't come to Muhammad-
Hey, Danny, look.
As your accountant
and as your friend,
I sort of feel I have some kind
of fiduciary obligation
to advise you-
I know. You want me
to sell my dad's house. I will.
Hey, every month you don't,
- you're incurring a wholly
unnecessary tax liability.
- I get it.
- You like that?
- Yeah, I get it.
Yeah? What about this? What if
I put you in touch with a broker?
I'd love to chat, Stan,
but I gotta go home
and get some sleep.
Good. Then you can be fresh
for my poker game tonight, huh?
Yes, sir. Hey.
Hey. An accountant that works
out of a topless pool. Nice.
He's bugging me
about selling my dad's house.
How much you say
he bought the place for?
He bought the land for 16,000
and built the house himself.
16,000?
Yeah.
You know how much it's worth?
A million and a half.
Excuse me.
I think someone took my wallet.
You heard Ed.
I gotta get some sleep. So-
Come on, Jerry. Give him a six.
Yes!
Look at that. He listens.
You are the man, Jerry!
Oh!
I'm winning more money.
I'm winning more money!
All right.
Keep it comin', Jerry,
'cause I'm in the zone
and you are en fuego.
I've never seen anything like it.
We've switched tables on him.
We've switched decks.
We even switched chips.
The man keeps dealing winners.
How much has he cost us?
This guy is up 300,000.
Are you sure
the dealer isn't cheating?
Maybe he's signaling the player.
We did a complete analysis.
It's just one of those streaks.
Well, if he continues
on one of those streaks,
doesn't it make sense to put him
where he's gonna cause
the least amount of damage?
Yes, Miss Mancuso, it does.
The people here, do they think
about making sense?
We try to, Miss Mancuso.
And what's with
the Miss Mancuso routine?
I thought you told me
that's what you wanted me to call you.
I think somebody needs to work
on their sense of humor.
It was a joke.
Oh.
I'm Monica.
Got it. Monica.
So, Mike-
Yes?
What sort of impression
do I make?
Come again?
If we were in a bar
and you hadn't seen me before.
Oh.
Can I speak candidly?
I insist you speak candidly.
I'd think you were
a hot piece of ass.
Good answer.
- Sarasvati.
- Yes, Miss Mancuso?
You told me you would have
the opening day revenue report
by now. Where is it?
I'm afraid it's
still being prepared.
Unacceptable.
Mr. Deline had some
special requests.
He suggested
you speak to him.
Come on. Show some cleavage.
It's a casino, not a convent.
Okay, okay. That's me taking
the first counterfeit I found.
Now, let's run it backwards...
until we see that specific tray
being removed from the cart.
All right?
Wow. That's an easy gig.
We pay these guys for that?
Okay. Now follow-
Who is that, Marguerite?
Follow Marguerite backwards
until we see where she got that tray.
Keep going. Keep going.
'Cause we want to see
where that top chip in the far
left column came from.
Okay. Give me the casino angle.
Boom!
Let's see what we got on her.
And while you're at it,
give me Bella Petto,
south deck about 11:00.
Go tight on the topless chick
near the middle,
in the black bikini bottom.
She's good, but about 1:30...
got two blondes
putting oil on each other.
Got it bookmarked.
Mitch, this is business.
Just a skosh more professionalism,
if you don't mind.
See. See.
While you're getting your perv on,
this guy's lifting this other
dude's wallet. Freeze it.
Blow it up. Let's see
what we got on him too.
I'm in a surveillance zone,
baby. What?
I bet 50.
Holding three clubs, aren't you?
Fold.
When does the Pussycat Dolls go on?
Fold.
I'll see your 50.
Raise you a hundred.
Let's go. Call or fold.
Make a decision.
- Can we try to finish?
- I'm 40 light. You mind?
- What?
- No, there's no going light
in my game, pal.
Come on.
It's more for you if you win.
Doesn't cost you if you lose.
- Go ahead.
- Aw, man.
- Write that down.
- What am I, your secretary?
Yes.
Beat his ass.
- Three nines?
- Yeah, three nines.
Told ya.
Good. Good. You deserve it.
Hey, I was a fan. Give me at least half.
Why don't you run over
to that A.T.M.
Yeah, right.
You can finally pay me back.
Oh, damn. You know what?
I must have forgotten my debit card.
Oh, what a shock.
Listen to this.
I'm really sorry.
If you give me your number,
I'll call ya and bring the money to ya.
I don't take I.O.U.'s
from guys that I just met.
Forty bucks.
Oh, wait.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
How 'bout this?
What's that?
Hundred dollar five-team parlay-
Bucs, Rams, Chargers,
Seahawks, Lions.
From the Montecito.
Huh?
- No way the Rams cover. You kidding?
- I owe you 40.
This thing pays,
you'll get two grand, man.
Come on.
Come on!
Give us a break.
Start betting on Korean Ping-Pong.
And get out of here.
All right, fine. All right.
It's me. So what?
I don't know anything
about fake chips.
You don't know anything
about fake chips?
You cashed it in.
This isn't fair.
No.
- It isn't fair, is it?
- It wasn't even my chip.
I mean, someone gave it to me.
Who?
Um, I think his name was Alan
or Adam, something like that.
Where or when
did he give you the chip?
I'll tell you if you give me
Elton John tickets.
Done.
Okay, well, like, let's see 'em.
Elton John, front row,
tomorrow night.
Ah! Like, talk.
I remember his name-Alex.
Alex. Great.
Um, when did
he give you the chip?
Well, see, I was over by the fountains,
you know, at the Bellagio,
and when I left,
this guy Alex sees me,
like, a couple of blocks away
and he's like,
"I saw you over by the fountains.
Where are you staying?"
And he's kinda hot,
so I'm like, "the Montecito."
Um, where did
he give you the chip?
- Here.
- Here?
- In your room?
- Well, like, we had drinks at Pure.
And then he's like,
"Do you want to go back to your room?"
And I'm kinda drunk,
so I'm like, "Okay."
And then after
we hook up, he goes, "Here,"
ya know, with the chip.
And I'm like,
"I'm so not that type of a girl."
And he's like, "I know.
I just, like, like you,
so I'm giving you this."
Completely believable.
Did Alex say he had to leave
because he had an early morning
meeting he had to get up for?
Yeah. How'd you know?
Wait a minute. Freeze it.
And run that guy.
What are you lookin' at?
Nothin'.
I need the, um, name
and address of anyone...
that's been fired or quit
our chip manufacturer
in the last 30 days.
Acme?
Yeah, that would be the name.
Do it.
Why did you tell the Indian girl
to delay the revenue report?
Her name is Sarasvati.
And unfortunately
we had to fix a glitch...
in our asset management
ratio analysis program.
Or it would have put our
activity-based costing system off
by three or four percent.
Well, we wouldn't want that
to happen, now would we?
Next time, check with me first.
Okay, Eddie?
"Eddie."
Unbelievable.
What?
This is a betting slip
that guy used to pay me.
It's a winner.
It's a five-team parlay.
- My man, you just won 2,000 bucks.
- Two thousand bucks!
Two thousand bucks!
- Nice.
- That'll teach that guy
to go light on me.
You know what I'm sayin'?
Wait. Whoa.
You think I should cash this in?
Nah, you should frame it,
or take it to one of those places
where they encase stuff in plastic.
I'm a key employee.
Gaming Commission
says key employees...
aren't allowed to wager
at the casino that employs them.
This was given to you by somebody
who was repaying a debt.
But they're gonna have me
on video cashing the thing in.
That doesn't look good.
No, no, no.
Hey, man, you want
to make a little money?
Yeah.
Cash this in for me, I'll give you 10%.
That's 200 bucks.
There's a catch, right?
No catch.
He's just lazy.
'Cause he's lazy.
That's hard, man.
Right.
Two thousand bucks.
How 'bout that?
So, how are things going?
I was gonna head over to my dad's
and start clearing the place out.
Ah, good move.
Mary's gonna go with me.
Ah.
It's easier to go in
with someone else.
- Yeah, I hear ya.
- Hey, guys.
I know you didn't find anything
on that guy that took my wallet,
but here's the thing.
I've been looking all day
for a betting slip, and then
I remembered it's in my wallet.
It was a five-team parlay-
Bucs, Rams, Seahawks, Chargers,
Lions, for God's sake.
It's the first time in my life
I got 'em all right.
Ticket's worth $2,000.
So I figured someone cashes it in,
you could look at the videotape.
There's our thief.
Yeah. Uh, could you excuse me
for one moment?
Of course, there's
no guarantee that the thief
would turn it in himself.
You meeting us here
is kind of a coincidence.
We were just discussing your case.
That's a great detection idea,
Howard,
but I guess we feel like
you've been inconvenienced enough.
So, on behalf of the Montecito,
allow me to pay you off on the bet.
- There you go.
There's eighteen hundred.
- Wow.
And I'll just pull- 2,000.
Thanks.
I-I don't know what to say.
I will definitely recommend
your hotel to everyone I know.
That's the guy I played poker with.
And our wallet thief.
And the guy who cost
me 240 bucks.
Now it's personal.
Uh-oh. Better tell the women
and children to take cover.
Are you kidding me?
Seriously, I.R.S. problems?
Forget about it.
The I.R.S. is like putty
in my hands, honey.
Really, no worry.
It's putty?
Stan, what do you know about
that guy Roger who played in
your poker game the other night?
Uh, why don't you call me.
Uh, not much, you know.
And I'm really sorry about
that whole situation, man, really.
The guy is sitting at a table
with Paul Anka and he goes light?
I was wondering
if you have an address,
phone number, last name.
He robbed one of our guests.
Oh, you gotta be-
Oh, I am so sorry.
No, it's not your fault, but
I was just wondering if maybe
you could help me find him.
He was just a fill-in.
He was referred to me
by one of my clients.
You know Pomona,
dancer at the Rhino?
No, Stan, I don't.
You don't?
She was here just yesterday.
I don't know her, but maybe you
can tell me a little bit about her.
She lives in Henderson.
I got her in zero coupon bonds.
She just got herself
a new Mustang convertible.
I want to-
And for what it's worth, if you
ever see her, uh, they're real. Whoa.
I want an address.
All right. You got it, boss.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Thank you.
Sorry. Sorry.
- I want that man fired.
- I'm not sure we can do that.
Says who?
Fired for what?
He's cost this hotel
a lot of money.
Let me tell you about something
that'll cost a lot more.
It's called
a wrongful termination suit.
- This dealer hasn't violated
any state or federal laws?
- No.
- Hotel or Gaming Commission policies?
- I don't believe so.
And there's no acts of moral turpitude,
no guest complaints?
What about the boss's complaints?
You have no grounds
for dismissal.
And I assume I can't fire you
for providing completely
disagreeable advice.
I can't fire him. Happy?
I'm so sorry.
Well, don't celebrate too much.
I have a plan.
Can't wait.
I want you to find a cooler.
Did you just say a "cooler"?
Yeah, I just said a cooler.
Right.
Monica, I know people
talk about coolers,
oh, and they made the movie,
but, uh, there's no such thing
as a cooler.
Did I hear someone mention
a cooler? Hi, Monica.
Because I am one.
Every time I go to a table,
whoever's there starts to lose.
Doesn't matter how much
they were winning before,
I show up, everything heads south.
It's wacky.
Delinda, I want you to go over
to that table...
and stand as close
to the dealer as you can get.
- I don't want to make people lose.
- Oh, I guess I'd call it an order.
I'm just here to try
to patch things up with my father.
We're not really speaking.
I work at Pure.
Oh, my mistake.
I will just have to take
my frustration out...
on your good friend, Sam,
who is working here.
Okay, I'll do it.
What do you think
of our new owner?
Pretty tough broad.
But, uh, I guess she has to be.
She's a cooler.
Serious?
Told ya.
Maybe I'm not a cooler.
Well played.
Only one guy's left Acme recently-
a Richie Tomczak.
Uh, but it was for medical reasons.
His doctor said that he had
some bad disease, only had
a couple months to live.
What did I ask you for,
a medical report or address?
Uh, yes, sir. An address.
Mr. Tomczak? Richie?
Hey.
Holy-
I guess your doctor was right.
What did you tell the cops?
What do you think I told them?
I told them the truth.
I mean, pretty close.
Actually, I told them, uh,
I went there to talk to Richie...
about some possible
counterfeiting problem we had.
Anyway, I told them
the door was unlocked.
Sit down.
So they'll focus on the murder.
Right.
You think Tomczak was involved
with the chip counterfeiting?
There's a pretty good chance.
You needed someone's expertise,
you know, for the clay formulation
and the mold making.
But he left Acme
before the chip design was finalized.
Yeah.
Okay. So, the counterfeiters,
they walk in the minute
we open, right- 12:01.
They buy a legitimate $100 chip.
They walk out.
They start making their own by 12:02.
Now if they're any good,
they start cranking out
them phonies before noon.
Except, Ed, the machine
that produces the high quality chips...
is extremely rare
and extremely expensive.
And I talked
to the manufacturer, and he said
there's only six in existence...
and the only one anywhere
near here is at Acme.
All the others, there's no way
they could have produced the fakes...
and gotten 'em back here
in the same day.
Did you talk to the other five
places that have these machines
to see if they still have 'em?
- I will get on that.
- Good. Oh, listen.
I need you to check
surveillance video...
for anyone that came in, uh,
between 12:00 and 3:00 yesterday...
and went directly
to the cage or to a table
and cashed in a $100 chip.
Mr. D., that's like
thousands of people.
- We might need more time-
- We don't need any time.
You-You need time because
I expect this done by tonight.
So does Jake care that you're
helping me with all this stuff?
He's working late.
Seems like he does that a lot.
Remember this?
Yeah, I remember that.
I remember how pissed you were
when I solved it before you.
I'm still pissed.
I wonder what I could get
for this thing-
If you ask me one more time...
how much you could
get for that on eBay,
I swear, I will deck you.
I'm not gonna say anything.
Uh-huh.
Probably couldn't get more
than a couple of bucks.
That's it. Give me that.
You can have it.
There you go.
Thank you.
Well, we should
probably go to the bedroom and...
start clearing stuff out of there.
Right. Yes.
This is weird.
And this is really weird.
Who's this?
- I don't know.
- How could there be a photo of my dad
with his arm around this woman...
on his nightstand and
I don't even know who she is.
Maybe she's an old friend.
Nah, she's gotta be a new friend.
This was taken at the Wynn.
The Wynn didn't open
until just before he died.
Then maybe she's a new friend.
Why wouldn't
he tell me about her?
I know. It's because
I didn't call him often enough.
I wasn't gonna say that.
All right.
Let's hit the closet.
Yeah.
We did it.
What did we do?
It took a lot of people.
It took a lot of man-hours,
but we checked everyone
that came into the casino
between noon and 3:00.
You want to guess
how many people that is?
No. What do you got?
Three people came in
and went directly to a cage or table
and cashed in $100 chips.
One of those people,
I would definitely call him
a person of interest.
You know what I mean?
No.
His name's Ben Hollis.
No record. But you remember Sean...
who got her counterfeit chip
from the guy she hooked up
with-Alex.
If you keep tracking Ben,
like I did, you get to this.
Ben giving Alex
a stack of phony chips.
Interesting coincidence.
Okay. Find him.
Gift shop.
What about those
chip-making machines?
All five machines outside
Vegas are accounted for.
One was recently sold
and is in transit from
New Jersey to California,
but the buyer says
he's been checking
with the driver every day.
- The truck's currently in Colorado.
- How can you be sure of that?
I got the driver's number,
called him and verified
the location of the cell-
westbound I-70, just this side
of the Eisenhower Tunnel.
Yes, but cellphone calls
can be rerouted.
You get any specs on the rig?
Yes, upstairs.
All right.
Great.
It's Deline. I need, uh, some
satellite surveillance images.
Yeah. Colorado. All right. What?
Yeah.
Send 'em to Mike Cannon
over here, okay?
Thanks a lot.
Well, hi. I'm, uh, Ed Deline.
I'm president of operations here.
You, uh, finding
everything you need?
Yeah. Yeah.
Me too.
Oh, sorry.
What the hell is this?
Let's go.
I didn't know
they were fakes, really.
This guy came up to me,
said he'd pay me $500
to cash in some chips for him.
And you being a bright,
college-educated young man,
you thought that sounded
like a legitimate offer?
I thought it sounded a little bogus,
but it's 500 bucks.
All right.
So, now you made the deal.
Then what?
Told me to meet him by this truck
parked off the Strip.
- What kind of truck?
- Big semi-trailer truck.
Good. Did you happen to see
what was in the back of this truck
or who was driving?
No. No. I just met
that one dude there,
and he gave me all these $100 chips,
like $10,000 worth.
Then he told me to cash 'em in
and meet him at this other place...
where he'd give me more chips
and another 500.
He said he had people watching me,
so I shouldn't try anything funny.
- What did this one dude look like?
- Kinda regular looking.
Regular size.
Regular clothes.
Regular face.
You really are
a very observant young man.
So, do I get to go now?
Mmm, no. No.
Not till we find this,
uh, Mr. Regular Guy.
Yeah?
I want something done about this.
I know we can't fire him,
but I want something done.
Listen, Monica.
It's a dollar table.
He can't possibly be hurting us
that badly.
Now, see all those people watching?
They're gonna end up
at another table.
And more than likely
they're gonna be losing.
So, I am betting that that guy
right there is generating
a positive cash flow.
It's the principle.
It's like he's mocking us.
Excuse me.
Look. Let me try
to explain something to you.
Owning a hotel/casino in Vegas
is supposed to be a lot of fun.
Just look at the Maloofs.
They have a blast all the time.
I mean, all the time.
Just loosen up a little, huh?
Yeah, well, Mike and I talked
about that, having fun.
We did?
Yeah, we did.
We did, didn't we?
We did.
Uh, I better get back
to the surveillance room.
Um, okay, listen.
I'll figure something out, okay?
Good.
We're all gonna loosen up.
Ah, Patrick.
Yes, sir.
Here. Excuse me.
Take a break.
Excuse me, folks.
I just, uh- Go ahead.
I just want to talk to you.
I know why you're here.
I saw you talking to Miss Mancuso.
I don't know what's going on.
I'm not doing anything different-
Just relax, Jerry.
There's nothing wrong.
Just nothing.
Just relax, okay?
I'm not gonna be fired?
No. No.
Miss Mancuso hates me.
I can feel it.
Just give her time.
She's learning how things
work around here.
Listen. Here's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna, uh- I'm gonna give
you a paid leave of absence
for a couple days, okay?
Until whatever the hell it is
that you've got blows over.
If not,
we'll make a little potion-
Hi, Jerry. I need Jerry.
No, no, no.
He's through for the day.
Duncan Sabusawa says his wife
has never won a hand at blackjack.
And I told him
I'd put her at Jerry's table.
Just a few hands.
Private table?
A couple. A couple hands.
Okay.
I shouldn't have done that.
What's up, boss?
Look at this.
We got two trucks.
See, this one over here...
with the chip-making machine
and the call numbers on the top,
that's heading
from Jersey to California,
just like it's supposed to.
And we got this other one...
just keeps circling
near our casino for 24 hours.
Then it's out of town
towards truck number one.
But if truck number one
is the one with the machine-
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold on. Hold on.
This is what I'm thinking.
The truck that we saw
over here on the Strip...
gets the machine from the first truck
as soon as it leaves Jersey.
Then it hauls its ass back to Vegas,
makes a million dollars worth of phonies,
hauls its ass back to the first truck,
and transfers the machine back.
Now, truck number one
just continues to go about
its business, make a delivery,
and we wind up scratching our heads.
Listen. Go gas up the helicopter.
Insurance?
What, you think losing
four hands in a row is funny?
- No, sir.
- I want a new dealer.
Of course.
Hey, Ed, we should be
at the truck in 20 minutes.
Hi. I'm Danny McCoy.
I'm looking for a friend
of yours, Roger.
Roger? Um,
I don't think I know any Roger.
I met him at
your accountant's poker game.
Roger?
Yeah, Roger.
And Roger's in a little trouble.
Oh.
I-
What, are you trying
to protect him?
No, I don't even-
'Cause he's a thief.
I might have met him,
but I don't really know him.
Hardly at all.
Where is he?
I might have his number inside.
Okay, great.
Hey.
Well, hi.
Hey, you're not the right driver.
Maybe we should
call the cops now.
I could've sworn I had Roger's
number in here somewhere.
Anyone else in the house?
No.
Whose car is that out there?
Not the Mustang, but the other one?
Oh, that's- that's my old car.
Ah. So what kind of car is that?
Um, it's a- it's a blue one.
I don't really pay attention
to the brands. I just-
Wait. Wait!
I think I know where
I left his number.
Okay, okay. Okay!
You owe me some money!
- Uh, you really think this is a good idea?
- I got 'em. I got 'em.
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Look, look!
I ran because,
well, I didn't want my wife
finding out I was here.
We're seeing each other.
But some guy just gave me
that betting slip, okay?
And I didn't take that wallet.
Oh, so you didn't take it?
No.
Well, who's that?
Huh?
And who's that?
Do you want to have sex with me?
Wait! Wait! Really!
Really, sex as many times
as you want!
Whoa! Maybe we should
call the cops now.
Where's my money?
- You're lucky I didn't grab you, bitch.
- Just call the cops.
Messed up my suit.
Danny, stop!
How 'bout a three-way?
Really, I can set it up. Danny!
Really, a three-way!
I can set it up.
I can set it-
I can make a call. Come on.
I heard everyone
started losing again.
Yeah.
Why are you so happy?
Oh, I know.
Everyone losing means
I really am a cooler.
Actually, I knew I was all along.
And though I don't like to see
people lose, I guess it does
make me even more special.
Thanks, Jer.
All the cash is gone,
but I think all the credit cards
are still there.
Thanks. I didn't think
I'd see this again.
There it is.
You guys are the best.
We do our best.
All right, take care.
Miss Mancuso.
The revenue report for opening day.
I think you'll be quite pleased
with the results.
Hi.
Hi.
This is kind of out of the blue,
but I'm a real estate agent...
and I heard that the owner
might be looking to sell.
Are you the owner?
Yes. Danny McCoy.
Penny Posin.
Nice to meet you.
Danny, I'm a really
hardworking agent
and I could really use the listing.
Come on in.
Ow.
