00:02 Las Vegas.
00:03 For most, it's a place of dreams, aspirations,
00:07 and making it big like Hollywood.
00:08 But it's not all those glamorous lights,
00:12 parties, or being lucky.
00:14 It's the underworld for crimes,
00:17 especially organized crime loan sharks.
00:20 For some, it's a place of desperation
00:24 and nonstop frustrations,
00:25 hoping Lady Luck will be on their side.
00:29 But it doesn't work that way.
00:31 My friend called me Jackie.
00:33 Nice to meet you, Jack.
00:34 I detect an accent.
00:35 Don't we all?
00:36 It's true.
00:37 No one's from Vegas.
00:39 So how does this work?
00:45 Just like the ad says.
00:47 That reminds me of '90s swing dancing.
00:51 Hey, where's your suspenders to match
00:54 the headline descends hotel and casino?
00:57 (upbeat music)
01:00 But what you should be wondering,
01:01 there's only one final question left.
01:04 Can you guess what that is?
01:05 You think the police will look
01:06 at your missing persons report?
01:07 After a decade being there,
01:11 sketch artist, I'm leaning toward not.
01:14 Sketch artist, I'm leaning toward not.
01:17 Do you expect them to trace the sandstorm?
01:19 Braille all the way here?
01:22 (heart beating)
01:25 Benson!
01:31 The lesson is, don't gamble if you can't pay
01:36 or suffer the dire consequences.
01:38 After all, this is the desert
01:42 with its own kept secrets.
