Anyway, Savino gives up Jones: "He's a pro's pro. Been doing hits for Milwaukee since he was a kid." He'll keep coming, he won't quit, says Savino. Ralph's solution is to put Savino in handcuffs and escort him out the door, right past Angelo and Rizzo, who exchange "you be-LIEVE this fuckin' guy?" glances.
So Ralph drives off with Savino in his pickup truck, telling his brother and son to find Jones. And then Jack tells Dixon to go on ahead, because he's got something else to do, and heads back into the casino.
He goes to Mia's room but is surprised to actually find her there, what with the hit out on Savino. And then out strolls Johnny Rizzo to laugh at the earnest cop looking to protect his daughter.
"You're the candy store cop. You can't even keep peace in your town, how you gonna protect my daughter?" Mia sends her father off, assures Jack she'll be fine.
Ralph and Savino are out at the ranch, Ralph splitting wood and stringing barbed wire across the road, Savino mostly complaining and suggesting he go inside and read up some of Ralph's back issues of Field & Stream.
Elsewhere, Jones stoically removes a bullet from his arm -- so Savino did clip him -- and hears on the radio that Savino was taken into custody. So he calls the sheriff's office and pretends to be a court clerk wondering when Savino's showing up. Dingbat deputy explains that Savino wasn't arrested but is under the sheriff's protection, and all but gives him directions to the ranch. Jones calls Milwaukee to say he's going to need a few more men.
At the ranch, Ralph and Savino, now indoors, are bonding and bickering. Savino asks for a phone to call his wife. Cota's watching her, but he wants her to leave town. Reluctantly, she agrees, but asks when she's going to see him. He doesn't know. Yeah, this whole Vegas experiment not really working out, is it?
Over at the sheriff's office, it comes out that the county clerk called. Fortunately, the rest of the gang is a little quicker on the uptake than Deputy Dingleberry, and Jack wants the operator to tell them where all the incoming calls over the last hour have come from.
Back at the ranch, Ralph has fried up some steak for dinner, not that he trusts Savino, who's still handcuffed to the table, with a knife. They start chatting about restaurants, Savino prodding Ralph quite a little bit, suggesting he and Laura and Ralph and O'Connell go on a double-date, and trying to find out some info about the former Mr.s Lamb, but Ralph isn't biting.
