>> Right here in my purse. Tell me what's

so important about this envelope.

Italian tradition. Ousta.

>> Ousta.

>> Ousta. You put money in the envelope and

you give it to the bride and gives her

and her husband a boost in the married

life.

>> That's great, but this is the engagement

party. They're not getting married in

next week.

>> Yeah. Well, we'll give him a little

boost next week, too.

>> You got to think Italian.

That's Italian.

Hey,

congratulations. Wait, wait, wait. You

cannot go in without a glass of water.

>> Thank you.

>> Drink

>> That was good.

>> Very good.

>> Of course. I made myself yesterday.

Starting a little early, huh?

>> Me, I never stopped. Not since Angela

got back up. And why should I? I am the

richest man in the world. My daughter

finished college. She came home to take

over the business. And she brought back

a fiance who is Italian. to get you to

like him.

>> Gina, what's not to like? I told you

he's Italian.

>> Enjoy. Enjoy. Come right in. Okay, go.

Go.

>> Hey, SP.

Daniel. Hey, Uncle Carlo.

>> How are you?

Uncle Carlo, how you doing?

>> Never better.

>> I found out that with age I can be

outrageous without being considered

foolish.

>> May we dance?

>> We may.

>> Don't try this until you get a little

age on you because otherwise they're

going to push you in a rubber room.

>> Come on, let's dance.

You watch yourself watch

>> Dan.

All the happiness in the room. Oh, thank

you,

>> Alberto. Good to see you.

>> How are you?

>> And this is Gino.

>> Gino, you bet. Huh? Congratulations.

Thank you. I feel I already know you.

Are you kidding? Bruno had me on the

phone for an hour. He says it's like a

Romeo and Juliet. They meet in college.

They fall in love. They get engaged. But

that's not the best part. They meet at

restaurant class. He wants to be like

me.

>> Yeah. It looks like Bob finally got the

son he always wanted, right, sis?

Hey, look. Uh, you two are the guests of

honor. Why don't you go circulate, huh?

Go on. Go, go, go.

Surprised to see me, Dan.

>> Well, a little bit, Alberto.

You and your folks make up.

>> Are you kidding? My father will never

forgive me for turning my back in the

family business. My sister invited me.

>> So, you embarrass her in front of her

fianceé.

>> I didn't mean to.

>> Yeah, I know.

Look, maybe someday your dad will love.

>> Never. His pride won't let him.

>> And mom, I'll never forgive you if you

don't hot footed over there and say

hello.

See,

>> what a good time I've had.

>> And one for this lady.

>> I'd know those lips anyway.

>> Oh, you would. Huh?

>> Yeah. You see, my daughter-in-law is a

better detective than you are, Daniel.

Grandma,

>> can I sit down here?

>> Yeah.

>> You're looking very lovely.

>> Are you okay? You want to sit down?

>> You want me to sit down? You want to

disgrace me?

>> No.

Please, you watch out for me.

>> I'm going to keep an eye on you, Carlo.

>> Well, I'm going to be right back. I I

promise this dance to my brother.

Carlo,

>> come. Come on, bro. But Carlo, you're

hard.

>> Oh, what about my heart? What about

Angela's heart? Gino's heart, huh? YOU

WANT TO DISAPPOINT ALL OF THESE PEOPLE?

YOU WANT TO BREAK THEIR HEART?

>> Come on.

Bravo me. Bravo.

The hard

call for a minute.

Danielle, I want to talk to you.

>> Grandma, please. What's the matter? It

>> was not an accident.

>> What are you talking about?

>> Vendetta,

>> please.

>> Inside.

Look,

there it is.

The Boura cup.

It was addressed to the Moreti family

and it was in Carlos car when he got

ready to leave home and come here.

>> I don't understand.

>> This cup

is the symbol of vengeance.

Vendetta.

>> Vendetta.

It's been so for centuries in the part

of Italy where my family came from.

>> Grandma, you think this cup has

something to do with Uncle Carlo's

death?

>> When someone receives the Borja cup, it

is the signal that the blood bath begins

and it will not stop until the whole

family has been killed.

>> Do the rest of the family believe this?

>> They say I'm old-fashioned.

To prove how old-fashioned I am, my son

drank his wine from it tonight.

And now he's dead.

Oh, Danielle,

if you love this family,

you will do something.

>> I can take it to the police, have them

check it for anything strange.

>> Bless you,

>> Grandma. You know I'd do anything for

you.

>> Not for me,

for the family.

Just what is it you want the lab to

check for, my superstition friend?

>> Anything unusual?

>> You looking for poison? I don't know,

but I've learned that it's usually

foolish to question the instincts of

wise elderly women who were born in the

old country.

>> Oh, may I tell my grandmother that you

said that?

>> Your grandmother is the one who taught

me that.

It's

Fin,

I didn't expect you.

>> I came to pay my last respects. respect

for for Carlo, for your family. You

showed us how much respect you have when

you left us to become a gambler.

>> Bob, not again.

>> No. No. Not again.

Come with me.

Alberto,

this is not easy for me.

Maybe it was seeing Angela come home

again, about to be married,

the whole family together,

then Carlo,

the shock. What is it, Bob?

Come home, Ailio. Mio, we forget

everything before mama and I will

retire. You and Angel, you take

everything. I can't, Pop.

I know you don't understand,

but I can't.

It's not what I want.

I love you, Pop,

but it's not what I want.

Mr. Moretti,

the messenger brought this.

Another moreti is about to die.

>> But she had take Mama into the kitchen

to fix her some lunch.

>> Uh I'm not hungry. You are trying to get

rid of me because you don't want to

listen.

Your brother wouldn't listen and she's

dead.

>> I don't want to hear anything more about

Vendetta.

>> Come, Grandma. Come,

>> Vito.

>> What did the messenger look like who

delivered this baggage?

>> He was a little smaller than you.

>> What about his uniform? Did it have any

patches on it? What color was it?

>> His uniform was brown.

>> Light brown, dark brown.

>> Brown like a paper bag.

>> Yeah. Do you remember anything else

about him?

>> I don't pay him a lot of attention.

My job is waiting tables, not taking

packages.

>> I did fine. Rita return

was a very quiet type. I'm surprised he

gave you so much.

>> Well, he gave us one lead. If I can find

out which messenger service in town uses

brown uniforms, we could find out who's

sending these cups. Dan,

about you think she's just superstitious

about the cups? Yes. About the vendetta?

Dan, you know my family. We never hurt

anybody. I mean, Carlo Carlo loved

everybody. Everybody loved Carlo.

>> Well, it can't hurt to check it out,

Dan. Thank you

for what? You're family, right?

Tana Investigations

>> Benzer, where have you been?

>> Oh, I'm sorry. I've been having some

trouble with my car.

>> I thought you were taking a

do-it-yourself mechanics course.

>> I am.

>> So,

>> my car needed a tuneup, so I did it

myself.

>> And this morning, it wouldn't start.

>> I'm so depressed.

>> Can you fix it?

>> I just found out I could break it. I

don't I'll have to wait till I get to

page 10. Butterfly valves.

>> Good. I want you to start checking the

novelty stores and gift shops. Find out

which one sells a line of wine goblets

resembling Boura cups.

>> Boura? The Boures? 15th century version

of the family feud. Only they played for

real.

>> You got it.

>> I want you to locate Be. Have her start

checking the messenger services in town

for the one who sent a package to

Bruno's. Tell her to start with the ones

who use brown uniforms. Well, if I can

get the car started and if I can find

these cups, where do I find you?

>> I'll be a matcher with Lieutenant

Nelson.

And

if we are going to open for dinner

tonight, I want these tables to be set

exactly as always. Exactly.

Ah, Angelino,

>> ready? Come in. Come in, please. We we

have a glass of wine. Sit down. Meia.

>> Papa, you intend to open tonight.

>> Of course, we open tonight. Why not?

>> Well, Uncle Carlo, in fact, Gino and I

were even discussing postponing our

wedding because of that.

>> Postpone? Nonsense.

>> Mr. Moretti, we we appreciate the

hospitality. Children, please listen to

me. It has nothing to do with me or with

you. Do you believe your Zio, your uncle

Carlo, would want me to close this

restaurant or for you to change your

plans? No. No. No. Carlo loved life. He

lived a rich, full life. He would want

us to celebrate it, not to mourn it.

Come, sit down. Mama, bring the papers.

Let us put aside talk about the past

because I want to talk about the future.

Ah,

>> Angela tells me that you were the top of

your class in management school.

Well, near the top, fourth to be exact.

I called the school and checked when I

heard that Angela was going to be

engaged to you.

>> That's you.

>> I think I better go and see grandma.

>> All right.

And this

is your wedding present. All they

require is your signature.

>> Papa, these papers transfer one half

ownership of the restaurant to Gino and

me.

If my daughter and her husband are going

to run this restaurant, they should be a

part of it. No.

>> Well,

>> Papa, we can't take it.

>> Of course you can take it. Your mama and

I want you to take it. We have worked

all our lives for you to be able to take

it.

Papa, we tried not to tell you this now,

but

Papa, we're not going to take over the

restaurant or stay in Las Vegas.

Mr. Moretti,

the Intercontinental Airlines Company

has asked me to be their general manager

in charge of in-flight food service.

It's a fantastic opportunity for Angel

and me, and the job starts next week, so

we're going back to New York.

airplane dinners.

>> Puppets, a big company and and a great

honor. Gina was chosen over a 100

prospects.

>> Yes. Yes, of course. We were It's a

great honorary. It was

>> Mr. Moretti. You've been so kind to us.

I

>> Henore

was chosen.

I understand. I do.

Please, if you will excuse me.

They said no.

>> He's going to be in charge of aeroplane

dealers theaters,

instant omelets, readym made entre.

We work quite a nice for our children.

They have nothing. We have nothing.

>> Oh, no.

No.

We have each other.

>> What do you mean you won't check it?

>> Dan, there's no justification for

checking the second cup. Marlo died of a

heart attack.

probably from a double dose of

digitalis.

>> Oh, not Uncle Carlo. I mean, don't you

find it strange that a man who had a

heart condition, a man who loved life

would take too much of his own medicine?

>> Look, Carlo drank a lot of wine. You

know that. And that night, he was

drinking very heavily. Now, maybe he

just forgot and took a second dose of

his medicine.

>> Well, how do you explain the fact that

the only clear prints on the cup were

mine and the inside of the cup was wiped

clean?

>> There were smudges under your prints.

They could have been Carlos. Maybe the

waiter just wiped out the cup. I don't

know.

>> Dave, if waiters don't take used

glasses, wipe them clean, and put them

back on the table.

>> Oh, really? Look, do me a favor. I've

got three robberies, a homicide, and a

kidnapping to deal with. Now, you get

out of here.

>> Have you checked the gobblet?

>> Are you trying to get me fired?

>> No.

>> Oh, thank you for that, cuz you're sure

making a hell of a case for somebody who

would want to.

>> Will you check the goblet?

>> Look, Dan, I can't run this department

on the superstitions of an old lady.

>> Will you CHECK THE GOBLET?

>> YES. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

>> I love it. The way your eyes sparkle

when you get angry.

Bruno, Grandma's tired. I think I should

take her home so she can lie down for a

while.

>> Well, B, I will take care of things

here.

>> I think you should call your daughter

and tell her you love her.

Yes, I should.

I will.

Just keep

escape.

Congratulations.

Heat. Heat.

Thank you.

Sorry.

Geia. Yeah.

>> Dr. Redfield, report to Dr. Mar

administration.

>> How is she?

>> Critical. There's not much hope. Where's

Bruno?

>> Inside. Come Daniel

called physical therapy on.

>> Well, Daniel, what do you say now?

>> The police think it was a hidden run.

Could have been an accident.

>> If you believe that you do not have the

mind, I think you have.

>> Grandma, I don't believe in

superstition.

But I do believe that someone might

think they had a reason to kill.

But there has to be a motive.

>> No, you are right.

But if I told you, they would say I'm

superstitious or crazy.

>> Grandma, please.

>> Ask Bruno. Report to emergency

is not assigned to report to emergency.

I have spent all my adults life with

that woman.

Now she's going.

>> It's not over yet.

>> Bruno, can you think of anyone who could

hate this family enough to do this?

No.

Really, Bruno?

What about Tomaso Damiani?

>> Tomaso Damiani died 20 years ago.

>> Who was he?

>> He was my son's partner. Just after

Carlo and Bruno bought this restaurant

30 years ago.

>> I caught him stealing. I threw him out.

>> Bruno didn't go to the police. He didn't

want to bring charges. Instead, he

bought out Tomas's share.

>> Then I said nothing. Somehow the truth

got around. Tomasa was disgraced. The

next thing I knew, he's back in Italy.

>> How did he die?

>> Suicide.

>> Does he have any family, brothers, sons?

>> No one that I know of.

>> What about someone you don't know of?

Find him, Daniel, please.

>> Lieutenant Nelson,

>> did you hear about Lucha already?

>> I did, and I hope she makes it. Still

think it's superstition?

>> Officially, yes, but privately, no.

>> Then can you privately check with

Interpol and a man named Tomaso Damiani?

>> He left for Italy about 28 years ago.

>> What?

>> You heard me. 28 years ago.

>> Did anybody ever tell you you're crazy?

>> Yeah, I hear that every once in a while.

>> Good. I'm glad I'm not alone because the

second goblet came up clean and I just

read the report on Mrs. Moretti. It

could have been an accident.

>> It could have been. Two cups, two

accidents. Now, do you want to think

about a third cup floating around out

there, or do you want to call Interpol?

>> You have marvelous powers of persuasion,

my friend.

>> I'll be at Manny's garage with B and

Ber. Thanks, Dave.

>> Sure.

Pump the pedal.

Pump the pedal.

>> I'm pumping. I'm pumping. My ankle sore

from pumping.

>> Well, congratulations.

What for? You got your car running.

>> Well, not exactly.

>> Well, it's here.

>> Had it towed.

>> Ah, listen. You know how many places

around here sell Boura cups?

>> Uh, no, but I have a feeling I'm going

to find out.

>> 17.

>> That's wonderful. You want to tell me

who they've been sold to?

>> Well, of the 11 I've seen so far, they

haven't sold one in a year.

>> That's not so wonderful.

>> I'm afraid my news is as bad as Berser.

>> It's impossible.

>> I checked every messenger service in

town. The ones with brown uniforms and

the ones without. Nobody's delivered

anything to Bruno's.

>> You sure you got them all?

>> Yeah, everybody in the phone book and

one that wasn't.

>> Okay. Help Benzer check the last of the

stores that sell the cups. All right.

>> Okay. Where you going to be?

>> I'll be talking to Veto at Bruno's.

Keep pumping.

PTO, give me about that much, Keiante.

Huh?

>> You know, none of the messenger services

in town remember delivering a package

here.

>> They say no

and I say yes.

>> Messenger wearing a brown uniform,

right?

>> He made me sign a piece of paper.

>> You got a copy of that paper?

>> If I had the paper, I would have given

the paper to Mr. Moretti.

>> Yeah. Well, maybe he was just um

pretending to be a messenger, huh?

>> Ido, think hard. Maybe you can remember

something about the way he looked.

>> He looked like a messenger.

>> He looked like a messenger.

Thanks,

Dantana was just here. He's getting

suspicious.

Shall I kill him or keep killing the

already in order?

He'll die tonight.

Am

I glad to see you, my friend?

>> I came out of the casino.

Found this in my car.

>> Don't mean nothing. Your mother had an

accident. Your father wants me to take

you to the hospital.

hurt. Is she all right?

>> She's dying. No.

Get out.

6021 there's still no return on DMV yet

45 minute delay custom lithographers

706 standard and identified

How' they take it?

>> First stuckle, Carlo. Mama's critical.

Now, Alberto, how do you think they're

taking it?

>> Look, Alberto smelled like a bar.

>> Now, he could have stumbled, hit his

head, and fallen down.

>> Could have. Yeah, he could have.

>> Did this come from Alberta Moretti's

apartment?

>> You still think it was an accident?

All right, I'll give you the shadow of a

doubt.

>> What about the information from

Interpol?

>> Nothing yet. I'm still pushing.

>> You do that because I don't believe this

was an old lady's superstition.

>> I'll check with you later.

That's a lot.

>> Tana

>> Dan, listen. I think I hit the jackpot.

I found a place that sold six of those

goblets.

>> Six?

>> Yeah. Listen, how many Morettes are

there?

>> Six.

>> Who bought the cup spins?

>> Well, I didn't get a name, but I got a

description.

>> Let's have it. When you hear it, you'll

know why they remembered the guy. They

said he had bushy eyebrows and a

mustache, graying hair, 6'4, the size of

a house, a big barrel-chested guy. Said

he looked Italian.

>> 6'4", graying barrel chest.

Veto.

>> God, Ben, it's Veto.

>> All right, I'm on my way to the

restaurant to find him. You go to the

Moretti house and warn Gino and Angela.

>> Okay. Anything else?

>> Yeah, call Lieutenant Nelson. Tell him

to put a guard on Mama's room at the

hospital. Put a guard on Bruno, too.

Don't let him out of his sight.

>> It's done.

>> Angela.

>> Dan,

>> what are you two doing here?

>> Uh, looking for Papa, but he must have

gone back to the hospital.

>> Have you seen Veto? No, no one's in

there.

>> Angel, I think Veto is the one selling

the Boura cups.

>> Veto.

>> Why, Dan?

>> I don't know, but I think your father

does. Look, I'm going to the hospital.

Gina, you take Angela back to the house.

Lieutenant Nelson has a guard there.

You'll be safe.

>> Thank Thank you very much, Dan.

>> Don't take your eyes off of her, huh?

>> I won't.

How did my and die.

How did Alberto die? He was murdered.

>> Then who is doing this to us?

I'm not sure, but I think Veto has

something to do with it.

>> Veto has been with us for 30 years since

the beginning.

>> Since Tomaso Damiani.

>> What are you talking about? Veto bought

the goblets

and he was with you when Toamasu was

your partner. Could he be acting for one

of Tomaso's relatives? Tomaso had no

relatives.

Dan, can I see you a minute?

>> What do you got?

>> Interpol came through.

>> You were right. Tomaso Damiani did

return to Italy 28 years ago. He and his

wife moved to a small village outside of

Milan. 3 years later, they had a son.

Two years after that, Tomaso killed him.

>> What happened to the son?

>> 5 years ago, his mother sent him to New

York to live with one of Tomaso's

sisters. When he was 21, he disappeared,

and nobody's heard from him since.

>> Nothing.

>> Nothing. The New York police questioned

the but she wouldn't cooperate.

>> Thanks, Dave. You want to put out an all

points bulletin on a beat on Napolei?

I already have

>> wanted in pediatric

pediatrics.

>> Bruno, how old is Gino?

>> 25 26.

>> Hello. Hello, Bruno. It's Gino.

>> Yes, Gino.

>> I'm with Angela.

Come to the Mountain View shooting range

or Angela dies.

>> What are you talking about?

>> Vendetta Moretti. Vendetta.

You are dead. But if you're here within

a half hour, Angela may live. Who are

you?

>> All in good time already. All in good

time.

I'll answer that with pleasure when you

arrive.

But if I see one policeman

>> or Dantana, Angela is dead.

>> Gino. Gino.

>> What is it?

>> He wants me to come to Mountain View

shooting range.

>> What did he say?

>> If I don't come, you will kill Angela.

>> Let's go.

>> No, not then. No, he said to come alone

when nobody gets everything they want.

>> Did you ever love me?

>> You're a pretty girl, Angela.

>> We lived together. I loved you. And

you're telling me that you made love to

me because you wanted to kill my family.

>> Is that so hard to believe?

>> I loved you, Gino.

>> And you loved me.

>> Perhaps I did.

>> You used me.

Let's go.

Who are you?

Who are you? Gino Damiani.

The son of the partner you disgraced and

drove to suicide.

The son who's come back to avenge his

father.

You

You made my father nothing.

Now you look at me, Moretti,

because I'm the last thing you're going

to see on this earth.

>> Do you in jail? No. Gino? No. God in

heaven? Yes, Moretti.

I still remember the pain in my mother's

face when she found my father's body.

She swore vendetta on my head. And she

wrote to her cousin, Veto.

Yes, Veto. Your trusted employee has

been our link to your family for 30

years.

>> Gino, please. I beg you, not proper.

Heat. Heat.

Heat.

made the same mistake as the Borges.

Gino,

vengeance belongs to God.

How do we rate such a nice table? I know

the owner.

>> Look, you just got out of the hospital

yesterday. You should be in bed resting.

>> I was in the hospital for one month

resting. You think I'm going to miss my

daughter's first day running our

restaurant? Huh?

>> Mario, the flowers are wilted on table

number 12. And you're missing a napkin

on number 23. Okay.

>> And she's doing quite well from the

looks of things.

>> So far, as an interior decorator, she's

terrific. But a restaurant runs on its

kitchen. Chefs, I swear.

Too much garlic. The garlic should kiss

you tenderly, not slap you on the mouth.

Take it back.

>> Take it back.

>> Any questions, Mr. Restaurant owner?

Huh? No comment.

>> Salute.

>> Angela. Salute.

>> Salute. Salute.

Heat.
