guy in the background. We might have our Martin.

See if the Tribune

can I.D. him. Whatever you say, boss. Thanks. (HORN BLOWING) Tiger! Someone lives here? An old friend. Ex-cop. You've got strange friends. TIGER: And new ones. This is Nikki.

Nikki, Tiger Wu. Hi, Tiger. Nice to meet you. Nikki was

Melanie Hains' roommate. Sit, sit. REMBRANDT: Thanks. (CLEARS THROAT) Did you find out anything? The girl seems clean. Saw some guy in the

mayor's office a few times. Martin somebody.

I got Beck tracking him down. What about the mayor? If there was something

down and dirty,

it's not raising its head. We found a photo

of the mayor's

last Christmas ball. Hains was there. And Taylor Higgins

and Daniel Freita. That's an interesting name. Recently I heard a rumor

about Benny Lee

and Daniel Freita. Freita's a big shot.

What would

they have in common? The gaming

commission awarded Freita

the one remaining license. There are two spots

on the Blue Strand

for that last casino. And guess who

owns one of them. -Benny Lee?

-The Chung triad is moving money

out of Hong Kong. Benny Lee used a chunk of it

to buy the property

two years ago. Who owns

the other piece of land? Some Germans. So whoever makes the deal

could make millions. Hundreds of millions. And the loser's land

isn't gonna be worth sh*t. (CHUCKLES) This may mean nothing, but I also heard

Daniel Freita's got a line to Uncle Brother

by way of Tommy Trang. -Hey, Nikki?

-Yeah? Would you wait

in the car? Sure. What line? Nobody knows, but people

have seen Tommy and

Freita together before. Look here. Melanie Hains had

a third roommate,

a Jennifer Haller. She's got a red sheet

on her a mile long. My contact said

she was into Asians. She was at the mayor's party

with Hains and Daniel Freita. So? Haller and Melanie

were to meet a friend. Nobody's heard from them. Did you call the friend? No. Nikki doesn't know her name. Any contacts on

Haller's sheet? Yeah, her parents,

but they live in Indiana. They haven't talked to her

in three years. You know what you're doing? What do you mean? She is young, isn't she? Her last name is Calderon. She's from a town in Ohio

called Medford Lakes. Do me a favor.

See what you can

dig up on her. (BOTH LAUGHING) Oh, God. Yeah, I'm gonna clean up. No, no. Don't. What are those? Nothing. Nothing? I used to cut myself. Why? Just something stupid I did

when I was young. I don't wanna talk about it. (PHONE RINGING) (THUNDER RUMBLES) Yeah? TIGER:

I did a crazy thing tonight. I went to Chinatown

to see some people. I was thinking

maybe they can tell me

about Daniel Freita. Out of nowhere,

Eddie Trang shows up. He's got some PTK
