Las Vegas (2003–2008): Season 3, Episode 6 - The Real McCoy - full transcript

Danny McCoy finally has a buyer for his home, found by girl-friend Penny Posin, just like his late dad's last flame, Liz, who claims she was to be dad's bride. She hesitantly accepts the loan Danny offers to get her through medical bills until her insurance pays, but isn't it all too good to be true? Monica's 'other income' manager Olivia Duchey's cheap orders keep making everybody's job impossible; so Ed takes on the bossy owner, who lets Sam off the hook if she tells her brother Bobby he's dumped.

Oh, it's one bad run. It's nothing.
We'll get you a new dealer.
You're gonna be great.

Forget it, Sam. I'm through with Vegas.

Danny McCoy.
Danny. Alex Levine,
Green Valley Ranch.

Hey. Hey, Alex.
You still looking for that woman-

the one from the photo
with your dad you sent over here?

Yeah. Why?
I may have a hit.
Streaming video to you now.

Okay. Hold on.
Her name's, uh, Liz Hillyer.

She's a Vegas local.

All right. I got it.
Thank you so much, Alex.
You bet.

That's her.

There is one thing you could do
to get me to stay.



What's that?
I hear Rihanna's playing
Mystique this week.

You don't really strike me
as a Rihanna fan.

I'm a complex man, Sam.

You get me in to see Rihanna, I'll stay.

- Done.
- Four!

Four is your number!

I'm sorry.
Will you excuse me-
Mm-hmm.

just for a minute?

He order a double?
No, no. No, ma'am.

Hey, Sis.

Hey, Sis. Who are you, Greg Brady?
Who says things like that?

Mmm. Very funny.
I thought you left.

What? You're that desperate
to get rid of me?

Yeah. When you're here,
bad things happen. You're like
my own little bad luck tiki doll.



Oh, someone's down with "Brady-ology."
Mm-hmm.
I thought you were leaving.

Yeah, that was the plan. But as it turns out,
someone really special right here
at the Montecito that I had to see again.

Don't try to pretend like you're sweet.
Flattery will get you-

Monica.

We were trying to find
the right time to tell you.

You-Y-You're-

Sleeping together.

I've taken 20 showers ever since
I saw them together last night.

Will I ever feel clean again?

- Lighten up, Lady Macbeth.
- When did this happen?

- Why did this happen?
- Bobby and Monica are consenting adults.

No, no, no.
My brother and that woman-

Could work to your advantage.
Now Monica has to be nice.

Mmm. I don't need nepotism
to get ahead, thank you very much.
No offense.

Last year only 40% of revenue
at Strip properties was generated
by gambling.

During that time Clark County
earned $33.7 billion in tourism,

of which only 8.7 billion
came from gambling.

Which means tourists spent
a whopping $25 billion...

on restaurants, hotel rooms
and entertainment.

It's not all about gaming here
anymore, people. That's why
there's gonna be some changes.

I've instructed Olivia to review
the efficiency and profits of every
single department at the Montecito.

And let's make one thing
just perfectly clear.

I have absolute faith in Olivia.

Whatever she says goes,
no questions asked.

Congratulations.
I was looking for you.
I have great news.

I have some news-
We have three offers
on your father's house.

Wow.
One's all cash. It's not the highest offer,
but I think it's the best one for you.

They want to move in right away.
No contingency period.

I know you're eager to get
your father's-
I found her.

Oh, my God.
Yeah. Liz Hillyer.
She's a Vegas local.

Have you talked to her?
No.

Are you going to?
I don't know. I've been up
all night thinking about it.

Now that I've found her, I feel like
if I start pulling at all these loose ends,

everything I ever knew
about my dad could unravel.

Or you could finally be able
to tie up those loose ends.
Yeah, I guess.

And if I don't, I guess I'll
always be wondering, right?

Right. I mean,
you said you want closure.

Maybe this is your opportunity to get it.

Would you come with me?

Here you go.
Thank you.

Hi, Delinda.
Hey.

Thanks for letting us use Mystique
for the meeting.
Sure. No problem.

Where better to show that major profits
come from restaurants and clubs
than Vegas's hottest nightspot, right?

Exactly.
I've been looking at the numbers,
and you've been doing a great job.

Thanks.
But I have a few suggestions to,
you know, trim the fat.

Okay.

First, switch to one-ply toilet paper
in the bathrooms.

Ouch. Really?
Mm-hmm.

Okay.
Second, only pour premium liquor brands
if the guests specifically request them.

Done.
Third, switch the waitstaff's
current uniforms...

to a machine-washable
polyester blend.

Hold on. You wanna throw it
in reverse and back up?

I'm sorry. I must have misheard.
Are you suggesting I put
my people in polyester?

It'll save tens of thousands
in dry-cleaning bills annually.

Listen, Olivia.
I have tried to play your little game,
but now you have gone too far.

If you want to work at a place
with polyester uniforms,

Denny's is right down the Strip, honey.

Mmm.

Oh, Sam. I'm sorry.
I was-

Did you rip your pants?
No, no, no. It's my brother and Monica.
I'm just trying to-

- Look no further.
- Trying to avoid 'em, you idiot.

- Dear God, please make them stop.
- Yeah, your brother and your boss.
Not the most holy of unions.

Mm-mmm. What am I gonna do?

Ignore it.
I'm trying, but I can't.

This is actually interfering with my job.
I mean, the time spent showering alone-
Showering?

Should I talk to him?

I should talk to him.

Thanks, Mike.

Oh, yeah!

Anytime.

Two words:
Poly ester.

- Two words: Calm down.
- Don't tell me to calm down.
You're not even listening to me.

No, I'm not. I'm trying to study
for my driver's test.

No one studies for their driver's test.

Well, not everyone has
a genius I.Q., sweetheart.

Oh. It does come in handy at times.

Hey, quit changing the subject.
This is a slippery slope, Daddy.

I mean, first the waitstaff at Mystique
wears polyester uniforms,
then who knows what she'll suggest?

Stripes with plaids?
Denim-on-denims? Skorts?

Skorts? What-What's a skort?

Where does it end, Daddy? Where?

Honey, with new management
comes new procedures.

If you want to sit idly by
while she runs this place
into the ground, then fine.

But I've got principles.

Nice seeing you too, sweetie.

And they're off.

Hey, we need to talk.
Uh, can it wait? I've just won
the first two races of my pick six.

Yeah, well, I'm sorry to disturb,
but I've really needed to speak to you.

And lately every time I see you,
you're with Monica.

Aw, she's great, isn't she?
Yeah. That's the thing, Bob.

And she's a tiger in the sack.
Yeah. See, I don't want
to hear about that crap.

What?

You sleeping with my boss.
It puts me in an awkward position.

What happens in Vegas,
stays in Vegas.
No. That's the problem-

I live in Vegas.
I take what I do very seriously.

I've worked extremely hard to make sure
nothing here gets personal.

You being here, you being with her-
it's personal.

I don't understand.
Well, what do you mean,
you don't understand?

You're creating a hostile
work environment for me
and potentially sabotaging my job.

You don't understand that?
What? How?

What is it? No, just tell me.
Wh-What?

Is it the billion-dollar inheritance?
'Cause you know she already
spent most of it on this place.

I have my own money, Sam.
Oh.

Monica and I really care
about each other.
You just met her.

Time is relative when matters
of the heart are concerned.

Who are you?

Maybe if you, uh, stopped working
for a second and found a personal life,

you'd see how rare and special it is
to find what Monica and I have found.

She touches me, Sam,
to the soul and beyond.

I'm gonna slap you.
We're soul mates.

And I'm thinkin' she's gonna be
part of our family one day.

I'm gonna go throw up.

Boo.
You scared me to death.

Where are you going?
It's Olivia. I can't work under these conditions.
What are you doing here?

- Thinking.
- Here?

Just taking a minute for myself.
That's all.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

- I heard you found her.
- Yeah. I guess word gets around.

You miss him, huh?

Yeah. I-

I just wish we'd been in touch
a little more before he died.

It's weird to think that there are things
I didn't know about my own father.

Daughter of a C.I.A. agent.
Hello?
Right.

You don't have to know everything about him
to know he loved you, Danny.

I know. Yeah.
I'm-I'm going to meet her.

I'm taking Penny with me.
Wow. You're facing your demons.

I guess. Yeah.

You know what?

If you can face your demons,
I can face mine.

- There you go.
- Even if they are wearing polyester.

What?

I don't know. Maybe this isn't right.
What if she didn't even know my dad?

What if she did? You'll never know
until you knock on the door.

Liz Hillyer?
Oh, my God.

You look just like your father.

I'm so sorry.
If I'd known you were coming-

I was on my way out the door.

I just picked up a second job-
cashier at the Golden Nugget.

My shift starts in half an hour.

You two make a very nice couple.

Thank you.
So, Liz, uh,
about you and my Dad-

Oh, you know, I have thought
about contacting you so often.

I almost drove to the Montecito once
to see you, but then I- I lost my nerve.

Your father was so proud
of your job there.

- Really?
- Oh, he talked about you all the time.

Danny this. Danny that.
He adored you.

I'm sorry. I'm just trying
to put all this together.

So you and my dad were pretty close?

Yeah. You know,
you and I have so much to talk about.

But I just got this job,
and I can't afford to be late.

Well, what time do you get off?
I could meet you.

Well, actually, I was gonna get
an early dinner between jobs.

I pass by the Montecito,
if you want to grab a bite?

Yeah, I would love to.
Great.

Mr. Nakamura.
I got your message.

What seems to be the problem?

Six years I've been playing here, Sam.

How many times has the Montecito
offered full comps?

Every time, of course.

He's trying to charge me for everything.
Oh. That's just a mistake.
I'll take care of it.

Uh, Carter, void Mr. Nakamura's
bill right away, please.

But, Ms. Marquez, according to
the new policy, Mr. Nakamura
doesn't meet the play requirements.

Oh, the new policy. Right.
Who made the new policy?

I did.

Hmm.

This is no problem.
I'll take care of this. It'll be fine.

Do you have any idea how much money
this man has spent here?

In the past, his level of play may have been
sufficient to warrant full R.F.B. comps.

But this visit, it hasn't.
Wait a minute.

No, listen, Sam.
It's no longer about getting people
to the tables at any cost, okay?

The casino business has changed.
I suggest you change with it,
before your job is rendered obsolete.

Ms. "Douchie"-
It's "Dushay."

Sam, I've been looking all over for you.
What's up with Rihanna?

You're front and center when she plays.

- Promise?
- Of course I promise.
Have I ever let you down before?

Actually, Sam,
about your V.I.P. ticket privileges-

I revoked them.

Ridiculous. How do you expect me
to do my job when I can't offer clients
the service they expect?

- Sam, I'm-
- No comps. No V.I.P. services.
No players. That's fine.

If she's not willing to give comps,
there are plenty of other hotels who will.

I'm a little busy-
And so what if gaming isn't
the biggest source of revenue anymore?

If she keeps pissing off my clients,
there is going to be no revenue of any kind.

Hey, Carter?

Would you, uh, comp Mr. Nakamura's stay
and apologize for any inconveniences?

Anybody gives you a problem, tell them
I okayed the comp personally, okay?

- Yeah. Thanks.
- Great. Now, Rihanna's little concert-

- Sam, don't push it.
- Okay.

Ah, Monica.
Let's talk about "Douchie's" policies.

It is "Dushay."
Whatever. They suck.

Well, you know what, Sam?
Wow. That's quite a complex analysis.

Wow. Complex. That's interesting.
Actually, it's very simple.

No comps, no whales, no revenue.

Look, I'll see if I can find
the time to speak with Olivia.
Thank you.

In return for that favor,
there's a little something
I'd like you to do for me.

What?

Just be a little lamb chop
and break up with that brother of yours
for me, would you?

Excuse me?

I've just never been that good
at that sort of thing.

I-I thought you two were...
going steady or whatever.

I thought you'd be pleased.
It seems you hate seeing
the sight of us together so-

Well, hate... is kind of a strong word.

Hey, if you're not up for the task-
Oh, I'm up to the task.

As soon as you take care of that,
I will look into making sure...

your client gets to go
to Rihanna's private concert.

- You wanted to see me?
- Oh, yeah. Hey, close the door, will you?

What is the, um, purpose
of a minimum speed limit?

Minimum speed limits?
Yeah.

Ah, you're taking your driver's test.

Wait a minute.
Can't you renew your license online?

Unless maybe- mmm-you picked up
a couple of moving violations,
huh, Mr. D?

- You know what I really love, Mike?
- Hmm?

I really love, like, when I ask a question
and instead of an answer,

I get three different questions-
I love that.

All right, purpose of
minimum speed limits. Man.

- Well, it's gotta be in there somewhere.
- Oh, so your answer is, "I don't know."

Because, by the way,
I-I know that it's in here.

See, that's another thing I love.
You know, people telling me something
that I already know.

See, I called you down here
because I am president of
a billion-dollar enterprise,

and I'd like to spend time with
that enterprise rather than waste my time
looking through this book.

Well, allow me to peruse for you.

Hmm. So I guess that means
you got a birthday coming up, huh?

It's your birthday.

You know, the whole time I've been here,
I don't remember you ever
celebrating a birthday.

- Really?
- How old are you gonna be?

'Cause you don't look a day older than-

Pick a number, wisely.

Minimum speed limits.
Let's take a look at those numbers.

Thank you.

Cobb salad, extra bacon,
just like your father.

Well, it was his favorite.

Bacon brought Larry and me together.

Really? How's that?

Well, one afternoon
I was at the buffet at Bally's.

It's not fancy,
but on Thursday afternoons-
Half price. I know.

- It's been that way since I was a kid.
He used to take me all the time.
- Really?

Yeah.
So one Thursday,
I'm in the buffet line,

and Larry was in front of me at the salad bar
taking all of the bacon bits.

He used to do that.
That used to drive me nuts.

And they make those bacon bits fresh there.
It's real bacon, not that imitation crap-
Oh, I know.

Which makes it so great.
Mm-hmm.

And your father is hoarding
all of them for himself.

And I don't know. I just lost it.

I started screaming.

Really?
Oh, yes. I mean, it was awful.

I'm not proud of it, but I really
wanted those bacon bits.

Well, that's understandable.
I thought so.

That's how we met. Bacon.

I know this isn't any of my business,

but I noticed there were some, um,
medical bills at your apartment.

What?
I don't- I don't mean to pry,
but are you all right?

Oh, I'm fine. It's nothing.
It was a car accident.

You know, miracle I survived.

And let me guess.
The insurance company isn't covering it?

Boy, you really are a surveillance guy.

If there's anything that I can do
to help you, please.

I'd be more than happy-
Thank you. Thank you.
I can take care of myself.

I know. I know you can
take care of yourself.

But I also know that you have debts
and you have two jobs.

Your father actually begged me
to stop working altogether.

And-And I was going to after-

After what?

After we were married.

Your father and I were engaged, Danny.

Okay.
Okay, I'll see you.

Yeah.
Come on!

Yes!

- Come to daddy. Come on.
- Coming to the first turn.

Bobby, I got a message for you.
Not now, Sam.

I've got five winners on this pick six.
This is the last race. Come on.
Run, you son of a bitch.

It's from Monica.
How is my little pumpkin?

She wants you to get lost.
What?

She says it's over between you two,
Bobby. I'm sorry.

What did you do, Sam?

I didn't do anything.
Don't try to deny it.

From the moment you found out
about Monica and me,
you've been trying to split us up.

Well, yeah. But I'm just
the messenger this time.
No, I get it.

A woman your age, you're all alone.
You're so miserable, you can't stand
to see someone else happy.

Is that it?

Bobby. I didn't have anything
to do with this, I promise.

Yeah, sure you didn't.
It's just like when we were little kids.

What?
If you weren't happy,
no one could be.

Go. Go!

Come on!

Oh! Yes! Yes!

I'm sorry. I know this is
a lot to digest all at once.

I just can't believe I didn't know.

Your father and I had such big plans.

Travel the world. See all the things
we'd only read about.

I'm so glad I caught you.
I-Sorry to interrupt.

- Oh, don't-
- Can you move the rest of your stuff
out of the house by tomorrow?

- Tomorrow?
- We were able to close early.

You know, I should go.
I'm gonna be late for work.

Thank you for tracking me down.
Of course.

Bye-bye.
Bye.

Hey. Hey, you okay?

I-I'm sorry. I promised myself
that I wouldn't cry.

It's just seeing you. That's all. Sorry.

You know, you think that you're over it.

And one minute everything's okay, and then
the next minute you just fall apart so-

- Believe me, I know.
- Okay. Bye-bye.

Liz. Liz.

I'm about to sell my dad's house.

I know that you were about
to be his wife so just-
just let me help you out a little bit.

Thank you, but, no.
I couldn't accept that.

Can you at least let me
cover your debts?

Danny. What are you doing?
You barely know this woman.

Just give me one second.
Liz, please.

It's what he would have wanted.

The insurance is gonna cover it.
It's just taking a little time. That's all.

Well, then we'll just say it's a loan
until you get everything taken care of.
It's not a big deal. Really.

It's a lot of money, Danny.

It's a loan.

A loan.
A loan.

Okay? That is all.
Okay.

Okay.
All right.

Four! Four is your number!

$50,000? Are you sure that's what
your father would have wanted?

They were going to get married
and travel the world together.

So she had 50,000 in medical bills,
but she's fit to travel the world?

It's a loan.

Do you really think
she's gonna pay you back?
Hey. What is that supposed to mean?

It means you don't even know the woman,
but you're gonna just hand her $50,000.

- You sound like Penny.
- Yeah, well, apparently
you didn't listen to her either.

Look, I found Liz. She didn't find me.
I offered to give her the money.
She didn't ask for it.

Have you at least run
a background check?
They were about to get married!

And I cannot believe that I'm hearing this
from Vegas's consummate romantic.

Yeah, well, lately I'm more
of a realist than a romantic.

I would at least run
a background check.

Yeah?
Yeah.

Well, maybe I will.

Yeah!

Hi.
Hey.

- Talked to Monica, huh?
- Yep.

Oh. What a fool I am, huh?

You're not a fool, Bobby.

You were right. I screw everything up.
Always have.
No, not always.

Name one time
I didn't screw something up.
Grandma's funeral, when I freaked out.

I found you hiding in the attic.

You stayed there with me all night.

I couldn't leave you there by yourself.

You were so scared about
what was gonna happen to us.

- I loved living with Grandma.
- Me too.

Guess things really started to suck
after that, huh?

It was worse for you though.

- That's why I left.
- I know.

You know, I still can't go to funerals.

Well, you've never been as tough
as you want people to think you are.
Sh-

Don't hit me.
Yeah.

I'm gonna set you up with a free room
for another week or so.

Full minibar access.
Wow.

Thanks. I think I've seen
enough of Vegas for a while.

Where you gonna go?
I don't know.

Maybe we'll catch up
in another 10 years, huh?

I love you, Sis.

I love you too, Bob.

No!

How come you didn't tell me
Ed's birthday was comin' up?
Ed doesn't have birthdays.

I think we should throw him
a party, have a cake.

You remember Johnny Durkin?
Yeah, used to be head of catering.
Whatever happened to that guy?

- He tried to throw Ed a birthday party.
- Come on.

I'm telling you, Mike.
Do not go there.

- Anything?
- No. Her record's clean.

Still, the woman shows up out of nowhere,
and within a day, you're writing her
a check for 50 grand.

- And?
- And it's just when people are grieving,
they tend to be more vulnerable.

Thank you, Oprah, but I'm not grieving.

Why you gotta bring Oprah into this?

Look, I'm only doing what my dad
would have wanted me to do, okay?

All right.
Thanks for the concern though.

Danny.
Uh-

Yes?

I've been reviewing this department,
and I've discovered some
employee redundancy.

Employee redundancy?
Translation, please.

It means you have to fire four members
of your surveillance team within 24 hours.

Ed, we have a problem.

Sign here.

So you think I should
give Liz the money?

You said you thought it was
the right thing to do.
I do, but it's a lot of money.

Your instinct is
very generous and noble.

Two qualities which I find
very attractive, I might add.

Oh, thank you.

Look, Danny, just because you spend all day
trying to catch cheats and scammers...

doesn't mean that everyone
you encounter is up to no good.
I know.

You, my friend,
might have some trust issues.

Trust issues?
I'm just saying.

Last one.
I don't have trust issues, okay?

Last one. Focus.

Congratulations. The money will be
in your account by tomorrow.

- So that's it?
- That's it.

Wow.

I wish I could stay and celebrate with you,
but I'm going to Palm Beach tomorrow.

For what?
Sandy's wedding.
I told you this.

Oh, that's right.
Come with me.

So all your sorority sisters can grill me
about our relationship?

- No. I don't-
- They're really hot.

- How hot?
- Just come with me.

I-I can't. I got to work this weekend.
I would love to but-

You'll be good while I'm gone, right?

Now look who's got the trust issues.
Stop it.

Forget it. Forget I said anything.
Stop it.
Look who's got the trust issues.

Come by my place later.
I have something for you.

I bet you do.

Good-bye.
Bye.

Danny.

The money will be in my account
tomorrow morning.

You can go and cash it
anytime after that.

Please.
Thank you.

You're welcome.

Come in.
I-I gotta get back to work.

Wait. Just one second.

If my dad told you so much about me,
why do you think he never
told me about you?

He was waiting until he was sure
that we were serious.

Well, you were engaged.
That's pretty serious.

We weren't engaged
until the end, Danny.

What do you mean?

Your father asked me
to marry him the day he died.

Uh-huh.

- Olivia.
- Hey.

Rumor has it you have
a birthday coming up.
Yeah.

Listen, we need to have a little talk.
Yes, we do.

Why did you overrule me
on the Nakamura comp?

Because apparently, you were wrong.

And I'll tell you something else
you were wrong about-
this, uh, employee redundancy.

I put this surveillance team
together by myself,
and it's the finest on the Strip.

Well, I'm sure it is the finest on the Strip,
but it could be far more efficient.

Efficient? Let's just have a little chat
about efficiency here.

I've spent the last two days putting out
these silly fires you've ignited.

That's very inefficient.

Well, I'm sure we'll work through
all the kinks.

Here's the deal, Olivia.
I really don't like kinks.

I do, however, like it very much
when things run smoothly.

And it seems to me that things aren't
running as smoothly as, uh-
as they were before you got here.

Well, I doubt that. Otherwise,
Monica never would have hired me.

Interesting.

Well, uh, she may have hired you,
but I'm firing you.

You can't fire me.

But, yes, I can,
'cause I just did.

So get out, please.

Out.
Oh!

Don't move.
I'll be right back.
Okay.

I thought you were going to Palm Beach.

I am, but all the flights
to West Palm were sold out,

so I'm flying into Miami, renting a car,
driving all the way there.

It's a pain, but Sandy would kill me
if I missed the rehearsal dinner.

- Who was on the phone?
- Work. I gotta get back.

What's this?
Open it.

I swiped it from your dad's house.

This way, no matter where you go,
you'll always have a piece of home.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

- Hey, Mary.
- Hey.

Mwah.
Hey, thanks for coming.

Oh, of course.
Wow.

I-I know it's late. You and, uh, Jake
probably have plans.

Oh, no. Actually,
Jake got stuck at work. Nope.

What's so urgent?
I'd really like you to come back
to work here.

Oh, Ed, thank you.
Now it would be a new job title-
hotel manager.

More responsibilities
and more money.

Wow. It's-
Yeah.

So I'd like you and Jake to, you know,
talk it over, think about it.
No.

Well, I mean, you gotta
consider it at least, Mary.
No.

No. I don't mean,
"No, I don't want the job."

I mean,
"No, I don't have to think about it."
Oh.

And I don't have to talk it over
with Jake.

When do I start?
Ah, um-

Mmm, now.

Now's a good time.
Works for me.

Hey, Mike.

You planning a trip?
Hey. No.

Uh, okay. Say you're flying into Palm Beach,
but all the flights into West Palm
are booked.

What do you do?
Fly into Fort Lauderdale.
It's only about 45 minutes away.

Not to Miami?
No way. It's twice as far. Why?

Oh, it-it's probably nothing.

It's just Penny's got this wedding
in Palm Beach this weekend.
She's flying into Miami.

- Probably cheaper.
- Yeah, probably, except that
she bought a one-way ticket.

Well, maybe she cobbled together
a cheaper fare from a couple of one-ways.

You know, hyperdeveloped cynicism
of people is an occupational hazard
for us, Danny.

I'm just having this weird feeling.

Uh, that feeling, my friend,
is called "getting it" on a regular basis.
Yeah.

Speaking as a man who has been
in a bit of a slump, admittedly-
Yeah, that's true.

I'm pretty sure your judgment is just
being clouded by the "bootay."

It's just that I've been having this feeling
ever since this whole thing with Liz started.

Liz? I thought we were
talking about Penny.

That's it.

"Penny Posin, born Boston, Massachusetts.

Father, Alan Posin.
Mother, Lisa Holloway Naviski."

Run the mother's name
through D.M.V.

Nothing in the state of Nevada.

Running a nationwide search now.

Whoa.

Liz and Penny are-
Mother and daughter.

Penny, open up!

She's just gone, Cathy.
The-The apartment was cleaned out.
She's not on the flight.

I'm afraid the law is no longer
on your side, Danny.

What do you mean,
the law is not on my side here?

We're talking about
a mother-daughter con team who
defrauded me out of 50,000 bucks-

Twice that if you consider
the commission on the house.

You have no proof,
and you gave Liz the money
of your own free will.

I gave her the money
under false pretenses.

Since your father is no longer around to testify
to the actual nature of their relationship,

there is no evidence a crime
has been committed.

What? So these people steal
$100,000 from me,
and I have no legal recourse?

Well, you can stop payment on the check.
But as far as the commission
on your father's house,

as long as Penny is a licensed
real estate agent in the state of Nevada,

which she appears to be,
she's technically entitled to it.

- Oh.
- Is what she did unethical? Absolutely.
But illegal? Afraid not.

Hey. You're gonna want to see this.

Now you may have evidence that
a crime has been committed here.

All right. Thank you.

So any questions so far?
I'm good.

Oh, it's great to have you back.
It's great to be back.

Say, excuse me.
Exactly what part of "you're fired"
didn't you understand?

Monica rehired me.

Olivia Duchey, hotel manager.

Mary Connell, hotel manager.

Can I help you with those?

Danny.

- Uh-
- So where are you headed?

- To see the world or just off to Miami?
- I can explain.

Good. Then you can explain
the outstanding warrants for your arrest
on fraud charges in four states.

Turned up pretty quickly
when I figured out your real name.

Danny, your father and I-
Shut up.

Where's Penny?

I don't know.

She was supposed to meet me,
and she didn't show up.

Hey.
Hey!

I heard you were back.
Yeah, uh, sort of, I think.

- What does that mean?
- Well, uh, Ed fired Olivia,

then hired me,
then Monica rehired her.

- Ooh. Daddy must be pissed.
- Yeah. His head did kind oflook like
it was gonna explode.

- Explode?
- Were the veins in his neck popping out?

- Yeah.
- Then there's no telling what he'll do.

So now might not be the best time
to throw him a surprise party?

Please don't tell me you got him a cake.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

You held up your end of the bargain.
I held up mine.

You know,
he actually cared about you.

Yeah, I know. Poor thing.

Bobby, it's Sam. Hey.

Are you boarding right now?

You wanna catch a later flight?

I don't know.
I thought, uh, maybe we could talk.

Listen, I fired Olivia for a reason.

And I rehired her for a reason.

She's not good for the Montecito.
She does not understand
how we do things around here.

Doesn't understand
how we do things around here?

What is this, the Wild, Wild West,
and you're the sheriff here, Ed?

Well, what do they say,
there's a new sheriff in town?
You're lookin' at her.

So things are gonna run a little bit different
round these parts.

You want to be sheriff?

You run this place without a deputy.
I quit.

You quit because you hate
the fact that I'm your boss.

No, I'm not quitting
because you're my boss.

I'm quitting because you're you-
a huge pain in the ass.

Happy birthday.

I told you not to get a cake.

I thought you'd be in Miami by now.

- What's that?
- Commission on your father's house.

Well, I think that
you've earned that, Penny.

I mean, the way you figured out
how to use all those things
I told you about my dad-

all those things I never
told anybody else about.

I really like you, Danny.

If I could go back,
do things differently-

What was it about me and my dad
that made you choose us
as your targets?

My mom really did meet your dad
at the Bally's buffet.

They went on a couple dates.

And then she saw the obituary,
and she came up with this plan.

Ah.
And I- Sh-

I had no idea what was
gonna happen between us.

I begged my mother to call it off.

Well, your mother is going to jail,
which is where you both should be.

Look, we had fun.

You didn't end up losing any money.

I saw an opportunity and I took it.
It's as simple as that.

Isn't that what Vegas is all about?

Yeah. And there's another thing
about Vegas.

It's-It's that people come
and people go.

And you-

you're going.

Ow.
