00:02 Glass Bay, for most, is a place of dreams,
00:06 aspirations, 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.
00:30 But it doesn't work that way.
00:32 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.
00:38 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."
00:58 (upbeat music)
01:00 There's only one final question left.
01:02 Can you guess what that is?
01:03 You think the police will look
01:04 at your missing persons report?
01:05 After a decade being there,
01:09 sketch artist, I'm leaning toward not.
01:12 Sketch artist, I'm leaning toward not.
01:15 Do you expect them to trace the sandstorm?
01:17 Braille all the way here?
01:20 (heart beating)
01:25 (gunshot)
01:28 The lesson is, don't gamble if you can't pay.
01:31 Or suffer the dire consequences.
01:33 After all, this is the desert
01:37 with its own kept secrets.
