## Series

### Season 1

In "*Dead Man's Hand*", Cliff gets a visit from Frost Casino employee Natalie Hill, who has an incriminating photo against one of their guests, Mr. Caine. He escorts her upstairs where he calls in a code red. They show the evidence to their boss, Sterling Frost Jr. Sterling is in shock since it’s the Caine suite, though Natalie is sure of what she saw and knows this is a big deal. Sterling adds this isn’t just beyond moral revulsion but illegal, so now they’re going to do what they have to do. She worries about her cart and checking out, but Sterling tells her not to clock out as they’ll handle all of it. They’ll be there for her, making sure she feels safe going home to her husband. He discreetly deletes the photo from her phone, instructing her not to tell anyone about this until they contact the FBI. When Natalie leaves, Sterling decides to handle it without his father. He gives Cliff orders.

Cliff walks down to the safe, removing a handgun. Natalie gathers her belongings as Cliff leaves the casino, setting off the metal detector. Natalie leaves the casino, ignoring the goodbyes of a worker taking a break. Cliff pulls up to a trailer and bangs on the door until the man inside answers, ultimately executing him when he opens the door. Cliff then turns up the volume on the TV and waits behind the door for Natalie to come home. The second she walks through the door he pulls the trigger. He then stages the crime scene to make it look as though the man shot Natalie and then himself. Cliff calls Sterling to tell him it’s done.

Days before the murder, Jerry is shouting for Natalie and causing a scene. Charlie runs out to stop him, but he’s belligerent. Two security guards slam him onto the table. She spots a gun, which Cliff grabs from Jerry’s ankle holster. They drag Jerry out of the casino and Cliff puts the gun in his office on the way out.

Sterling aligns himself with Charlie to take down Caine since she's a human lie detector. After getting a call, he sends her away and opens the door and greets Cliff and Natalie. Afterwards, he meets with Charlie in the crow's nest and answers a call from Cliff that it’s done. Charlie ultimately finds the photo Natalie took and shows it to Sterling and Cliff. She knows it’s Caine’s room because of the high ceilings. She thinks Caine had her killed and framed Jerry to do it. She wants to call the FBI to bust him, but Sterling wants to clean him out first to hit him where it hurts. With a guy like him, it’s the money. They just have to wait one more night while they rig the cameras.

Later, Charlie hurries into an elevator with Cliff and speed talks about Cliff letting Jerry go the day he showed up at the casino. He asks if she’s on coke but it’s just coffee which is making her spazz out. Cliff explains they didn’t press charges and couldn’t find Natalie to ask what she wanted. Charlie gets confirmation that Jerry didn’t come back to the casino after he was released.
Charlie watches live video footage of Sterling and Cliff gambling to confirm she can do her thing over video. He explains how everything will work that evening and the clicker she’ll use to indicate truth and bullshit. Cliff will swoop in if anything goes bad. She asks what his call was about when they were in the crow’s nest and he said everything was okay. That was a lie and she wants to know about the call. Sterling remembers the call and that it was Cliff on the line. He asks what she thinks it was about. She’s sure it was some random security thing, blaming her questions on being distraught and caffeinated. When she’s gone, Sterling closes the door to talk to Cliff about the situation. He compares her to Michael Weston from Burn Notice and that she won’t let it go. Sterling refuses to pull the plug on the operation and will deal with her and the photo no matter what it takes.

Caine gets into his limo and leaves the hotel. Cliff knocks on the Presidential Suite to ensure no one’s home, using this chance to switch out the lamps with the ones that are bugged. Sterling stands on the rooftop looking over the city. The gambling group waits for Caine in the lobby, but he’s a no-show. Cliff finds Sterling and they both worry about where Caine and Charlie are. Charlie shows up 20 minutes late, and Sterling is glad Caine had a late dinner. Cliff leaves to check on the rest of the players. Sterling explains how things will work but she’s quiet. She doesn’t have an elegant way to segue into the Natalie situation so she just does. Natalie did the right thing when she saw something awful, and Sterling had Cliff kill her for it. She tells him to look her in the eye and say bullshit if it isn’t true. When he doesn’t, she presses on. There’s only one reason she would take a picture of Caine’s laptop, and that’s to turn him in, to show someone, like the police. But she didn’t show the police, she tried to call Charlie but she missed it. So Charlie figured that Natalie came to him and Cliff that night. Sterling scoffs that’s a lot of accusation based on figures. Charlie, however, was figuring this morning when she saw the TV footage and now, she knows. Jerry had his stupid pearl-handled pistol when he came to the casino, but when he passes through the metal detector on the way out, it doesn’t go off. This means he didn’t have it when he left, and she already knows from Cliff that Jerry didn’t come back to the casino. Which means the night of the murder, was right here with Cliff. Sterling looks over to Cliff, who returns to the room. Sterling circles Charlie as he pokes holes in her story, making her appear unreliable with all her figuring and half-thinking. He has Cliff take her phone in case she’s recording to get a confession, but she wasn’t. He concocts a plan to paint her as a distraught, drunk, flakey employee that he had to let go. Before he could stop her, she took a flying leap off the balcony which is tragic. Cliff asks if she’s going to walk outside to make it easier, but she's not. Because she wasn’t recording their conversation just now, but she was this afternoon. Cliff, who still has her phone, plays a portion of their conversation to prove it. Sterling laughs as there’s nothing criminal about cheating in a private poker game. Even if there were, he owns the cops. Charlie isn’t trying to convict him because she’s not a cop. A wise man once told her that if you want to hurt someone, you hit ‘em where it hurts. She didn’t send the recording to the cops. Sterling realizes she sent it to Caine and the men run out to the Presidential Suite, which is vacant.

Charlie follows with a smirk. She sent it after the rehearsal and he’s in the air by now. Every one of his whales, every big roller in the world, all the medium ones, most of the small ones, they all know that Sterling Frost Casino plays dirty. He’s officially blackballed because gamblers talk. Cliff laughs as he takes a seat. Sterling sees a call from his dad that makes Cliff laugh even more. Sterling walks outside, onto the railing, and jumps off to his death. Charlie curses as Cliff glares at her. She takes off running and he shoots after her, hitting her once in the side. She runs into the stairwell and Cliff calls a code blue to lock the entire hotel down.

Fortunately for Charlie, she escapes with her life, but has to go on the run from Sterling Frost Sr. who employs Cliff to track her down.

In "*The Night Shift*", Charlie risks being tracked when she withdraws money using an ATM. She knows she has about four hours until the people hunting her find her. After the four hours are up, she sees Cliff's car pull into the mini-mart across the street from the diner she's in.

Cliff walks into the mini-mart and shows Charlie's picture to Sara, asking if she's seen this woman. She used the ATM about four hours ago. She just left but Sara doesn't know where she went. She sees Cliff's gun when he turns away. She quickly adds that Charlie is going to LA because she loves the beach, sand, swimming, all of it. Cliff makes a call and says he found her heading west to LA.
