00:00:00,126 --> 00:00:01,961
[Jessica] Tonight on Murder, She Wrote.

2
00:00:03,713 --> 00:00:05,798
Phil Sparling hired me to find his wife.

3
00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:08,634
I didn't get the impression that
she was brought here against her will.

4
00:00:08,718 --> 00:00:11,095
You stole it from me.
You give it back to me.

5
00:00:11,178 --> 00:00:12,471
Money? What money?

6
00:00:12,555 --> 00:00:13,931
You haven't even come close

7
00:00:14,014 --> 00:00:15,558
to being straight with me.

8
00:00:15,641 --> 00:00:17,518
The lady is off limits.

9
00:00:17,601 --> 00:00:19,061
There's nothing wrong with my husband.

10
00:00:19,145 --> 00:00:21,021
The hotel, I lost half of it.

11
00:00:21,105 --> 00:00:22,523
My mom's gotta be ready to kill him.

12
00:00:22,606 --> 00:00:24,150
I can lay my hands on the money.

13
00:00:24,233 --> 00:00:26,110
You were had by the lady.

14
00:00:26,193 --> 00:00:28,571
If I hadn't shown up,
they might've killed you.

15
00:00:28,654 --> 00:00:29,905
They still might.

16
00:00:29,989 --> 00:00:32,450
She's a professional assassin.

17
00:01:26,295 --> 00:01:27,713
[woman] Phil, darling,

18
00:01:28,464 --> 00:01:30,299
I wish there was a nicer way
to tell you this,

19
00:01:31,342 --> 00:01:32,384
but it's over.

20
00:01:33,135 --> 00:01:35,304
I guess it has been for a long time.

21
00:01:35,387 --> 00:01:37,598
There isn't much more that I can say,

22
00:01:39,266 --> 00:01:40,976
except by the time you hear this,

23
00:01:41,393 --> 00:01:43,771
Graham and I will be long gone.

24
00:01:44,313 --> 00:01:46,649
Anyway, Phil, I hope someday

25
00:01:46,732 --> 00:01:49,235
you'll find it in your heart to--

26
00:01:49,318 --> 00:01:50,486
Sure, I will.

27
00:01:55,533 --> 00:01:57,284
[line ringing]

28
00:01:57,368 --> 00:01:58,661
-Hello?
-Murray?

29
00:01:58,744 --> 00:02:00,663
-Yes.
-It's Phil Sparling.

30
00:02:00,746 --> 00:02:04,166
I need a bird dog who's not real smart,

31
00:02:04,250 --> 00:02:07,711
won't ask a lot of questions.
You know what I mean?

32
00:02:32,570 --> 00:02:35,865
Jessica, it's Melanie Venable.

33
00:02:37,116 --> 00:02:38,534
Oh, hello, Melanie.

34
00:02:38,617 --> 00:02:40,411
I'm terribly sorry to be a bother,

35
00:02:40,494 --> 00:02:42,663
but I just have to talk
to you about Hilton.

36
00:02:42,746 --> 00:02:45,249
-Melanie, I--
-Jessica, please...

37
00:02:45,332 --> 00:02:47,293
tell me the truth, now.

38
00:02:47,793 --> 00:02:50,796
Do you think the boy
has any talent at all?

39
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,923
Look, I can't answer that question

40
00:02:53,007 --> 00:02:55,634
because I haven't had a chance
to read his manuscript yet.

41
00:02:55,718 --> 00:02:58,929
-If you'll excuse me--
-If only he would pursue sensible goals.

42
00:02:59,013 --> 00:03:01,140
-He is such a trial.
-Um, Mrs. Venable--

43
00:03:01,223 --> 00:03:03,100
I'd hoped that our coming out here would--

44
00:03:03,183 --> 00:03:06,145
Mrs. Venable, Mrs. Fletcher
and I have an engagement.

45
00:03:06,228 --> 00:03:09,148
Oh, of course.

46
00:03:09,231 --> 00:03:13,777
Well, thank you, Jessica.
I know you'll be honest.

47
00:03:16,697 --> 00:03:17,948
Wow.

48
00:03:18,032 --> 00:03:19,909
Jessica, if you ever thought

49
00:03:19,992 --> 00:03:23,537
that running a hotel,
even in paradise, would be fun,

50
00:03:23,621 --> 00:03:25,289
Between dealing with the guests,

51
00:03:25,372 --> 00:03:28,125
redecorating, and Maurice's gambling,

52
00:03:28,208 --> 00:03:31,629
I can't tell you how good
Cabot Cove looks to me now.

53
00:03:32,129 --> 00:03:34,048
Maurice? I thought he'd stopped.

54
00:03:34,131 --> 00:03:36,634
I did, too. Seems to be worse than ever.

55
00:03:36,717 --> 00:03:39,178
However, that is my problem.

56
00:03:39,261 --> 00:03:42,139
Oh, dear. I'll just be
a couple of minutes.

57
00:03:42,222 --> 00:03:44,934
Oh, perfect. I've got
a couple of things to do downstairs.

58
00:03:48,646 --> 00:03:50,230
-Jeff.
-Mother.

59
00:03:50,314 --> 00:03:53,192
Sorry, the sink drain is clogged in 214.

60
00:03:53,275 --> 00:03:55,027
Um, is your father around?

61
00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:56,528
Not that I've noticed.

62
00:03:56,612 --> 00:03:58,572
Ooh, must be wonderful

63
00:03:58,656 --> 00:04:01,116
to see everything in such
vivid black and white.

64
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,910
Well, one thing's for sure,

65
00:04:02,993 --> 00:04:04,954
I didn't inherit any talent
for facing the truth

66
00:04:05,037 --> 00:04:06,580
from your side of the family.

67
00:04:11,418 --> 00:04:13,420
-Martinique.
-What do you mean, Martinique?

68
00:04:13,504 --> 00:04:15,214
You know, down in the West Indies.

69
00:04:15,297 --> 00:04:16,715
Are you sure this time?

70
00:04:16,799 --> 00:04:18,634
Hey, look, Mr. Sparling,

71
00:04:18,717 --> 00:04:20,594
the yacht is moored off-shore.

72
00:04:20,678 --> 00:04:23,305
I saw it on my way in from the airport.

73
00:04:23,389 --> 00:04:25,641
-[knocking at door]
-Yeah?

74
00:04:25,724 --> 00:04:27,851
Uh, it's maintenance, Mr. Garrett.

75
00:04:28,602 --> 00:04:30,354
Come on, Garrett, you told me
they're everywhere

76
00:04:30,437 --> 00:04:32,106
from Yucatan to Belize.

77
00:04:32,189 --> 00:04:33,941
And then last week you were dead sure

78
00:04:34,024 --> 00:04:35,776
that they were in Miami.

79
00:04:36,276 --> 00:04:38,362
And then what? Barbados?

80
00:04:38,445 --> 00:04:40,197
Uh, I understand the sink's clogged?

81
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,408
That should be the worst of my problems.

82
00:04:42,908 --> 00:04:44,618
Look, pal, in exactly 45 minutes,

83
00:04:44,702 --> 00:04:46,578
there's a plane that goes to Chicago.

84
00:04:46,662 --> 00:04:49,665
No, no, no, go for it.
But I want to hear from you

85
00:04:49,748 --> 00:04:52,001
the second that you've spotted my wife.

86
00:04:52,084 --> 00:04:55,129
And no later than tomorrow. You got it?

87
00:04:55,212 --> 00:04:56,672
Right.

88
00:05:19,737 --> 00:05:21,989
[cell phone ringing]

89
00:05:27,828 --> 00:05:29,246
Yes?

90
00:05:29,329 --> 00:05:31,832
Martinique.

91
00:05:31,915 --> 00:05:33,042
Where on the island?

92
00:05:33,125 --> 00:05:35,627
The Hotel Deux Perroquets.

93
00:05:35,711 --> 00:05:37,004
Got it.

94
00:05:57,566 --> 00:06:01,570
Okay, I will see your raise,

95
00:06:01,653 --> 00:06:03,781
and I will double it.

96
00:06:08,786 --> 00:06:11,371
You have frightened me
away, Monsieur Farrow.

97
00:06:22,758 --> 00:06:26,136
I will call you, Graham.
Will you accept this?

98
00:06:32,643 --> 00:06:34,520
[Graham] It's your decision, Maurice.

99
00:06:35,938 --> 00:06:37,606
Four jacks.

100
00:06:41,485 --> 00:06:42,945
[Graham clears throat]

101
00:06:43,028 --> 00:06:44,780
I'm afraid that my straight flush

102
00:06:44,863 --> 00:06:46,490
beats your four jacks.

103
00:06:52,496 --> 00:06:53,956
Maurice, you could have lost to someone

104
00:06:54,039 --> 00:06:55,541
who wasn't so fond of you.

105
00:06:58,877 --> 00:07:00,963
We better get back.
The ladies will be waiting.

106
00:07:01,046 --> 00:07:02,965
Gentlemen.

107
00:07:08,303 --> 00:07:10,347
Pardon. Captain.

108
00:07:12,349 --> 00:07:14,685
He passed through airport
customs a short while ago.

109
00:07:14,768 --> 00:07:18,188
Garrett. Passport, U.S.

110
00:07:18,272 --> 00:07:20,190
as you can see, Interpol lists him

111
00:07:20,274 --> 00:07:23,026
as a private investigator from Chicago.

112
00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:25,445
[both speaking French]

113
00:07:29,408 --> 00:07:33,328
[Dorie] Lauren, you know
you don't have to like me.

114
00:07:33,871 --> 00:07:36,081
It's just that since, you know,
Graham and your husband

115
00:07:36,165 --> 00:07:37,791
seem to be hitting it off,

116
00:07:37,875 --> 00:07:39,293
it might make things a lot easier

117
00:07:39,376 --> 00:07:40,878
if we tried to get along,

118
00:07:40,961 --> 00:07:42,379
At least just for the few weeks

119
00:07:42,462 --> 00:07:43,797
that we're gonna be down here.

120
00:07:43,881 --> 00:07:45,382
Am I right, Jessica?

121
00:07:45,465 --> 00:07:48,594
I'd really rather you left me out of this.

122
00:07:51,054 --> 00:07:52,347
You're right, Dorie.

123
00:07:52,431 --> 00:07:53,974
There you go.

124
00:07:55,809 --> 00:07:57,102
Oh, and one other thing.

125
00:07:58,395 --> 00:08:00,022
I think I've got a pretty good idea

126
00:08:00,105 --> 00:08:01,940
of where you were coming from just now.

127
00:08:02,024 --> 00:08:03,192
I mean, besides New England.

128
00:08:03,275 --> 00:08:06,153
I figure, what it is,

129
00:08:06,236 --> 00:08:09,281
is I kind of, like, threaten you.

130
00:08:09,364 --> 00:08:11,033
'Cause I actually left my husband

131
00:08:11,116 --> 00:08:14,244
instead of, you know, thinking about it.

132
00:08:14,328 --> 00:08:16,955
You know I'm on the money,
don't you, Jessica?

133
00:08:17,039 --> 00:08:20,083
-Mrs. Sparling--
-It's all right, Jessica.

134
00:08:20,167 --> 00:08:23,503
You're mistaken about Maurice and me.

135
00:08:23,587 --> 00:08:25,756
[door opens] Ladies, hi.

136
00:08:25,839 --> 00:08:27,257
Sorry we're late.

137
00:08:32,846 --> 00:08:34,264
Maurice, what is it?

138
00:08:34,348 --> 00:08:36,642
The cards.

139
00:08:36,725 --> 00:08:38,101
I have rotten luck.

140
00:08:39,770 --> 00:08:41,355
The hotel,

141
00:08:41,438 --> 00:08:43,357
I lost half of it.

142
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:44,900
Maurice, no.

143
00:08:44,983 --> 00:08:46,401
What he means is that...

144
00:08:46,485 --> 00:08:48,820
we're not just friends anymore.

145
00:08:48,904 --> 00:08:51,406
We're partners.

146
00:09:02,584 --> 00:09:05,337
Madame, hotel registration is over here.

147
00:09:07,881 --> 00:09:09,549
Ah, good evening. May I help you?

148
00:09:09,633 --> 00:09:12,135
Yes, my name is Norma Willens.

149
00:09:12,219 --> 00:09:13,637
I have a reservation.

150
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,555
Of course. Miss Willens.

151
00:09:15,639 --> 00:09:17,683
Thank you.

152
00:09:24,982 --> 00:09:27,567
[clears throat]

153
00:09:27,651 --> 00:09:29,528
Is this our mail, Hilton?

154
00:09:29,611 --> 00:09:31,405
Uh, yes, mother.

155
00:09:43,583 --> 00:09:45,002
Everything okay, Jessica?

156
00:09:45,085 --> 00:09:46,753
It was absolutely delicious, Jeff.

157
00:09:46,837 --> 00:09:48,714
Be sure to give the chef my compliments.

158
00:09:48,797 --> 00:09:50,882
[man] Hey, what does a guy
have to do around here

159
00:09:50,966 --> 00:09:53,385
to get a well-done cheeseburger?

160
00:09:53,468 --> 00:09:56,221
Put this back on the fire till it
stops moving, will you?

161
00:09:56,305 --> 00:09:58,223
Charlie? Charlie Garrett?

162
00:09:58,307 --> 00:10:00,142
Jessica!

163
00:10:00,726 --> 00:10:03,562
What in the world are you doing here?

164
00:10:03,645 --> 00:10:05,314
You writing another book?

165
00:10:05,397 --> 00:10:08,108
Not this time. This is purely R&R.

166
00:10:08,191 --> 00:10:09,776
I didn't even bring my laptop.

167
00:10:09,860 --> 00:10:11,320
And you? What about you?

168
00:10:11,862 --> 00:10:14,740
Monsieur Garrett, I must speak with you.

169
00:10:15,490 --> 00:10:18,368
Madame Fletcher, pardon.

170
00:10:19,119 --> 00:10:20,454
Captain St. Denis.

171
00:10:22,998 --> 00:10:26,668
Monsieur Garrett, just exactly what
brings you to Martinique?

172
00:10:27,419 --> 00:10:28,503
Scuba diving.

173
00:10:29,838 --> 00:10:31,757
Room 208, Charlie.

174
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:32,799
Gotcha.

175
00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:37,095
This way, please.

176
00:10:37,179 --> 00:10:38,847
[sighs]

177
00:10:38,930 --> 00:10:40,474
Can you believe it?

178
00:10:40,557 --> 00:10:42,476
My dad lost half interest in the hotel.

179
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,728
God, my mom's gotta be ready to kill him,

180
00:10:44,811 --> 00:10:46,521
if I don't do it first.

181
00:10:46,605 --> 00:10:48,440
Jeff, yelling at your father,

182
00:10:48,523 --> 00:10:50,650
it isn't going to change anything.

183
00:10:50,734 --> 00:10:53,111
Yeah, well it'll make me
feel a lot better.

184
00:10:53,195 --> 00:10:54,946
[scoffs]

185
00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:58,075
Listen, after you get off,

186
00:10:58,158 --> 00:11:00,035
can we have a beer?

187
00:11:00,118 --> 00:11:02,204
I've got to finish an assignment

188
00:11:02,287 --> 00:11:04,373
and get it off in tomorrow's mail.

189
00:11:04,456 --> 00:11:06,041
Colette, it's been almost a month.

190
00:11:06,124 --> 00:11:09,127
-I told you--
-Oh, right.

191
00:11:09,211 --> 00:11:11,213
We'll be an item again when I decide

192
00:11:11,296 --> 00:11:13,924
that being 2,000 miles
from nowhere is wonderful.

193
00:11:14,007 --> 00:11:17,219
Jeff! Just because you're
angry with your parents...

194
00:11:17,302 --> 00:11:19,638
[telephone ringing] it isn't necessary

195
00:11:19,721 --> 00:11:23,975
to reject everything
they've worked so hard for.

196
00:11:24,059 --> 00:11:26,395
[ringing continues]

197
00:11:26,478 --> 00:11:28,438
Charlie, if I had to guess,

198
00:11:28,522 --> 00:11:31,441
I'd say about the closest you ever
came to scuba diving

199
00:11:31,525 --> 00:11:33,777
would be a mcfish sandwich.

200
00:11:33,860 --> 00:11:36,613
Ha! I don't think
I fooled that cop, either.

201
00:11:36,696 --> 00:11:38,323
-Sit down.
-Anyway...

202
00:11:38,407 --> 00:11:40,617
Phil Sparling hired me to find his wife,

203
00:11:40,700 --> 00:11:42,452
who was kidnapped by this guy Farrow.

204
00:11:42,536 --> 00:11:43,995
Dorie Sparling?

205
00:11:44,079 --> 00:11:45,622
Wait a minute, you've seen her?

206
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:48,250
Yes. I certainly didn't get the impression

207
00:11:48,333 --> 00:11:50,252
that she was brought here
against her will.

208
00:11:50,335 --> 00:11:52,879
Really? Well, by looking at her picture,

209
00:11:52,963 --> 00:11:55,424
she doesn't strike me
as the type that would run around.

210
00:11:55,507 --> 00:11:58,969
I mean, maybe she was
putting on an act for your benefit.

211
00:11:59,052 --> 00:12:02,806
Well, I suppose it's possible.

212
00:12:02,889 --> 00:12:04,433
Or did you notice whether or not

213
00:12:04,516 --> 00:12:06,268
she was under sedation?

214
00:12:06,351 --> 00:12:08,687
Or did you see a guard,
or anything like that?

215
00:12:08,770 --> 00:12:10,730
Well, no, not really.

216
00:12:10,814 --> 00:12:13,066
I mean, there was a young man
on the boat, but--

217
00:12:13,150 --> 00:12:14,693
Well, then, that's it.

218
00:12:18,113 --> 00:12:21,992
Charlie, what does
Mr. Sparling expect of you

219
00:12:22,075 --> 00:12:24,286
if you find her?

220
00:12:24,369 --> 00:12:27,080
He wants me to check out
how tight the security is,

221
00:12:27,164 --> 00:12:30,333
bring her back to Chicago myself.

222
00:12:30,417 --> 00:12:32,294
If not, I mean, he doesn't want me

223
00:12:32,377 --> 00:12:35,297
to pull any Crimson Pirate
stuff or anything.

224
00:12:35,380 --> 00:12:39,759
I don't suppose you'd want
to alert the police?

225
00:12:39,843 --> 00:12:43,180
Right. Uh, that's exactly
what Sparling figured.

226
00:12:43,263 --> 00:12:45,307
Wait a minute.

227
00:12:45,390 --> 00:12:47,601
You don't suppose that Mrs. Sparling

228
00:12:47,684 --> 00:12:49,728
did one of those mental
flip-flops, do you?

229
00:12:49,811 --> 00:12:52,981
You know, like that, um,
that newspaper heiress,

230
00:12:53,064 --> 00:12:55,734
the one who got brainwashed
into robbing banks

231
00:12:55,817 --> 00:12:57,486
by the guys who grabbed her?

232
00:12:57,569 --> 00:13:01,323
Or, Charlie...

233
00:13:01,406 --> 00:13:03,492
I mean, is it possible

234
00:13:03,575 --> 00:13:05,660
that there's some kind of miscommunication

235
00:13:05,744 --> 00:13:07,412
between you and your client?

236
00:13:07,496 --> 00:13:09,706
Oh, no, no. He was very clear about that.

237
00:13:09,789 --> 00:13:12,167
I mean, it occurred to me

238
00:13:12,250 --> 00:13:16,379
that he may have an agenda of his own.

239
00:13:16,463 --> 00:13:19,549
You and I both know that
I've bought into that before.

240
00:13:20,175 --> 00:13:22,802
Anyway, I'll keep you posted, okay?

241
00:13:24,804 --> 00:13:26,681
[chuckles]

242
00:13:55,502 --> 00:13:57,921
Mr. Farrow, I have not seen

243
00:13:58,004 --> 00:14:01,299
Mr. or Mrs. Delagre all morning.

244
00:14:02,842 --> 00:14:04,594
It's really a shame

245
00:14:04,678 --> 00:14:07,013
the way they've allowed
this place to deteriorate.

246
00:14:07,472 --> 00:14:09,808
They work very hard.

247
00:14:10,225 --> 00:14:12,727
Colette, you needn't make excuses for us.

248
00:14:12,811 --> 00:14:16,022
-Lauren--
-The door is over there, Mr. Farrow.

249
00:14:16,106 --> 00:14:19,609
Look, you made your feelings
abundantly clear last night.

250
00:14:19,693 --> 00:14:22,070
But, frankly, I think
you ought to feel fortunate.

251
00:14:22,153 --> 00:14:25,031
Now there are two of us
to worry about Maurice's problems.

252
00:14:25,782 --> 00:14:27,909
There's nothing wrong with my husband.

253
00:14:28,785 --> 00:14:31,121
Okay. But understand that I intend

254
00:14:31,204 --> 00:14:33,498
on protecting my investment.

255
00:14:33,582 --> 00:14:35,375
I'm having some papers drawn up

256
00:14:35,458 --> 00:14:37,335
to formalize our arrangement.

257
00:14:37,419 --> 00:14:39,546
[telephone ringing]

258
00:14:39,629 --> 00:14:41,214
His investment.

259
00:14:41,298 --> 00:14:43,133
Hello, Hotel Deux Perroquets.
May I help you?

260
00:14:43,883 --> 00:14:47,053
Mrs. Delagre, I am sorry to bother you,

261
00:14:47,137 --> 00:14:49,931
but it's the lady in 112,
and she's pretty upset.

262
00:14:50,015 --> 00:14:51,766
She wants to speak to you.

263
00:14:51,850 --> 00:14:53,602
I can't deal with it now.

264
00:15:00,734 --> 00:15:02,444
Bienvenue, Madame.

265
00:15:04,237 --> 00:15:06,573
Thank you [speaks French]

266
00:15:13,413 --> 00:15:15,081
Oh, I'm sorry.

267
00:15:15,165 --> 00:15:17,167
Can't you watch where you're going?

268
00:15:17,250 --> 00:15:19,794
Look, lady, it wasn't
as if I did it on purpose.

269
00:15:19,878 --> 00:15:22,130
Well...

270
00:15:22,213 --> 00:15:24,549
Mrs. Sparling?

271
00:15:24,966 --> 00:15:27,010
Have we met?

272
00:15:27,093 --> 00:15:29,429
I've, uh... I've seen your pictures...

273
00:15:29,888 --> 00:15:32,682
in the Chicago Society pages.

274
00:15:33,224 --> 00:15:34,809
No kidding.

275
00:15:34,893 --> 00:15:36,311
Yeah, that's where I'm from.

276
00:15:36,394 --> 00:15:38,146
Well, what a small world.

277
00:15:38,229 --> 00:15:40,398
Yeah, really.

278
00:15:40,732 --> 00:15:43,151
Um, look, would you like to, uh...

279
00:15:43,234 --> 00:15:46,154
I mean, maybe you got time
to have something cool to drink?

280
00:15:47,113 --> 00:15:49,908
Oh, um, well...

281
00:15:50,408 --> 00:15:52,077
sure.

282
00:15:55,163 --> 00:15:57,082
[Charlie] Hey, do you see
all these palm trees

283
00:15:57,165 --> 00:15:58,833
and birds and stuff?

284
00:15:58,917 --> 00:16:01,294
We're a hell of a long way
from Chicago, aren't we?

285
00:16:06,883 --> 00:16:08,635
Dorie Sparling's right.

286
00:16:08,718 --> 00:16:11,179
I'm not all that far away from Cabot Cove

287
00:16:11,262 --> 00:16:13,807
and my look-the-other-way upbringing.

288
00:16:13,890 --> 00:16:15,433
Somehow, it worked for my mother.

289
00:16:15,517 --> 00:16:17,018
Well, don't be too sure.

290
00:16:17,102 --> 00:16:18,478
I mean, your mother paid the price

291
00:16:18,561 --> 00:16:20,146
with her chronic back pain, remember?

292
00:16:20,230 --> 00:16:23,149
And here I am, pretending that Maurice

293
00:16:23,233 --> 00:16:25,652
is still the same man
you introduced me to.

294
00:16:25,735 --> 00:16:27,737
The dashing UN attache

295
00:16:27,821 --> 00:16:29,739
[knock on door] who swept me off my feet.

296
00:16:29,823 --> 00:16:32,033
Mom. Jessica.

297
00:16:32,117 --> 00:16:33,743
Oh, hi, Jeff.

298
00:16:33,827 --> 00:16:35,787
I just finished checking the roof.

299
00:16:35,870 --> 00:16:37,706
Another storm, we won't
have enough buckets on the island

300
00:16:37,789 --> 00:16:39,374
to catch all the leaks.

301
00:16:39,457 --> 00:16:40,875
Oh, dear.

302
00:16:40,959 --> 00:16:43,378
-Jessica, bonjour.
-Bonjour.

303
00:16:43,461 --> 00:16:45,422
Jeffrey. Darling.

304
00:16:48,591 --> 00:16:50,093
You know, what happened yesterday

305
00:16:50,176 --> 00:16:52,554
may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

306
00:16:52,637 --> 00:16:54,806
I have just spoke with Graham Farrow,

307
00:16:54,889 --> 00:16:57,684
and he has agreed to put up
the money for a new roof,

308
00:16:57,767 --> 00:17:00,645
as well as other repairs
that has to be made.

309
00:17:00,729 --> 00:17:03,982
Oh, that's terrific.
Maybe if you lose more to him,

310
00:17:04,065 --> 00:17:05,900
he'll build us a whole new hotel.

311
00:17:05,984 --> 00:17:08,737
Jeff, don't talk to your father like that.

312
00:17:08,820 --> 00:17:10,447
Oh, it's very liberating, mother.

313
00:17:10,905 --> 00:17:12,365
You ought to try it sometime.

314
00:17:14,284 --> 00:17:16,202
[laughing]

315
00:17:16,286 --> 00:17:18,163
You're staring again.

316
00:17:18,246 --> 00:17:20,373
Right. I'm sorry.

317
00:17:20,457 --> 00:17:22,292
You were about to tell me

318
00:17:22,375 --> 00:17:23,501
what high school you went to.

319
00:17:23,585 --> 00:17:24,544
Hillside Park.

320
00:17:25,378 --> 00:17:27,046
[laughing] I can't believe this.

321
00:17:27,130 --> 00:17:28,923
You, too?

322
00:17:29,007 --> 00:17:31,217
The White Sox, onion rings,

323
00:17:31,301 --> 00:17:34,012
the blue note... it's incredible.

324
00:17:34,095 --> 00:17:36,139
Couple of more, will you?

325
00:17:36,222 --> 00:17:37,891
So tell me, what brings you
down here to the...

326
00:17:37,974 --> 00:17:40,643
What do you call it, the windward islands?

327
00:17:40,727 --> 00:17:42,437
I mean, was it your idea, or...

328
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,272
What?

329
00:17:44,355 --> 00:17:47,817
Buster, I don't know who the hell you are,

330
00:17:47,901 --> 00:17:49,944
but the lady is off-limits.

331
00:17:50,028 --> 00:17:52,071
Yeah.

332
00:17:54,657 --> 00:17:58,620
Mr. Garrett, have a nice day
in Martinique.

333
00:18:04,417 --> 00:18:06,169
I am sorry to cut in, Mrs. Donohue.

334
00:18:06,252 --> 00:18:08,171
I think I have cleared your line.

335
00:18:09,047 --> 00:18:10,882
Oh, this decrepit equipment.

336
00:18:10,965 --> 00:18:12,884
I can't wait to replace it.

337
00:18:14,636 --> 00:18:16,262
Here's the rest of
your fax, Mrs. Fletcher.

338
00:18:16,346 --> 00:18:18,223
Thank you very much, Colette.

339
00:18:18,306 --> 00:18:20,809
Excuse me, I need some stamps.

340
00:18:20,892 --> 00:18:23,645
Oh, yes. Here you go.

341
00:18:27,065 --> 00:18:29,818
I told miss willens
about the books you write.

342
00:18:29,901 --> 00:18:32,737
She says she's read some of them.
She's a schoolteacher.

343
00:18:33,530 --> 00:18:36,533
Really? So was I. What do you teach?

344
00:18:36,866 --> 00:18:39,452
Um, high school.

345
00:18:41,830 --> 00:18:43,873
So much for trying to make nice.

346
00:18:43,957 --> 00:18:47,335
Well, I'm more annoyed
by these notes from my editor,

347
00:18:47,418 --> 00:18:49,963
which I fully intend to
ignore until I get home.

348
00:18:51,589 --> 00:18:54,259
Mr. Venable, the reason
I have not responded

349
00:18:54,342 --> 00:18:56,302
to any of your telephone messages is,

350
00:18:56,386 --> 00:18:59,055
I am not interested. Is that clear?

351
00:18:59,138 --> 00:19:01,516
Of course, Miss Willens.
Perhaps later, then?

352
00:19:01,599 --> 00:19:03,268
Excuse me.

353
00:19:05,228 --> 00:19:09,774
Hilton Augustus Venable,
have you absolutely no shame?

354
00:19:09,858 --> 00:19:11,651
Oh, Hilton, I've been
looking all over for you.

355
00:19:11,734 --> 00:19:14,112
-I enjoyed reading your story.
-You did?

356
00:19:14,195 --> 00:19:15,947
Yes, I did. I took the liberty

357
00:19:16,030 --> 00:19:17,949
of making a few notes for you,

358
00:19:18,032 --> 00:19:20,451
and I gave you the names
of some literary magazines.

359
00:19:21,202 --> 00:19:24,247
I think that if you take a slightly
different tack on it,

360
00:19:24,330 --> 00:19:27,542
you might be able to sell it
to one of the magazines.

361
00:19:27,625 --> 00:19:29,335
Jessica, I can't tell you how much...

362
00:19:29,419 --> 00:19:32,088
-Mother, Jessica likes my writing.
-That's lovely.

363
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,466
Hilton, I must have a word with you.

364
00:19:35,550 --> 00:19:36,718
Yes, mother.

365
00:19:36,801 --> 00:19:38,803
Perfectly lovely.

366
00:19:40,763 --> 00:19:42,849
What is it, mother?

367
00:19:42,932 --> 00:19:45,560
Well, we have the family name to consider.

368
00:19:45,643 --> 00:19:47,854
Oh, God, mother, the family name
hasn't meant squat

369
00:19:47,937 --> 00:19:49,856
since before the civil war.

370
00:19:50,398 --> 00:19:52,483
Hilton, do not argue!

371
00:19:53,026 --> 00:19:55,737
Now, until our lawyer has had a chance

372
00:19:55,820 --> 00:19:57,864
to look into this
Miss Willens' background,

373
00:19:57,947 --> 00:20:00,783
you are not to speak
to that woman, do you understand?

374
00:20:00,867 --> 00:20:03,119
-Yes, mother.
-Good.

375
00:20:05,288 --> 00:20:06,789
Before the French came in here,

376
00:20:06,873 --> 00:20:08,666
the Caribs called it Madinina,

377
00:20:08,750 --> 00:20:11,085
which is "the Island of Flowers".

378
00:20:11,586 --> 00:20:13,379
You know, Jessica, you were wrong.

379
00:20:13,463 --> 00:20:14,964
Dorie Sparling is a prisoner,

380
00:20:15,048 --> 00:20:16,633
and she's not happy about it.

381
00:20:16,716 --> 00:20:18,760
All right. But in that case,

382
00:20:18,843 --> 00:20:21,179
why doesn't she just go to the police?

383
00:20:21,262 --> 00:20:23,473
You met Wendell,
the guy with all the pecs?

384
00:20:23,556 --> 00:20:25,934
-Yes.
-I rest my case.

385
00:20:26,601 --> 00:20:28,728
Hey, did I tell you Mrs. Sparling and I

386
00:20:28,811 --> 00:20:30,480
grew up in the same neighborhood?

387
00:20:30,563 --> 00:20:32,315
No, you didn't mention that.

388
00:20:32,398 --> 00:20:34,108
Yeah. It's real lousy,

389
00:20:34,192 --> 00:20:35,944
her being in this situation.

390
00:20:37,403 --> 00:20:39,364
Charlie, I hope you won't
take offense at this,

391
00:20:39,447 --> 00:20:43,785
but are you sure you're not allowing
your feeling for Mrs. Sparling

392
00:20:43,868 --> 00:20:46,079
to color your judgment?

393
00:20:46,162 --> 00:20:48,331
Ha ha! My feeling?

394
00:20:48,414 --> 00:20:50,500
Where in the world did you get that idea?

395
00:20:50,583 --> 00:20:53,670
[Dorie] Graham, I thought
this was supposed to be a celebration.

396
00:20:53,753 --> 00:20:55,546
Hey, it's not like I'm telling you
to give up shopping

397
00:20:55,630 --> 00:20:57,298
for the rest of your life.

398
00:20:57,382 --> 00:20:59,175
I'll see you in a minute.

399
00:20:59,258 --> 00:21:01,386
[Graham] Just take it from me, okay?

400
00:21:03,012 --> 00:21:04,514
Oh, Mrs. Sparling?

401
00:21:04,597 --> 00:21:06,766
Mrs. Sparling, hi there.

402
00:21:07,100 --> 00:21:08,726
Oh, hi, Mr. Garrett.

403
00:21:08,810 --> 00:21:10,228
Uh, you must be Graham Farrow, right?

404
00:21:10,311 --> 00:21:11,896
Pleased to meet you.

405
00:21:11,980 --> 00:21:14,357
Mr. Garrett, I told you about this before.

406
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,734
If you were a wise man, you would go away.

407
00:21:16,818 --> 00:21:19,612
Look, pal, why don't you stay
out of my life, huh?

408
00:21:24,450 --> 00:21:27,370
Graham, was that really necessary?

409
00:21:27,453 --> 00:21:29,205
The man was just trying to be friendly.

410
00:21:29,288 --> 00:21:31,958
[Graham] Yeah? Then I do
think that was necessary.

411
00:21:32,041 --> 00:21:35,586
Oh, Charlie. Good heavens.

412
00:21:35,670 --> 00:21:37,588
[panting]

413
00:21:38,006 --> 00:21:39,465
You see what I mean?

414
00:21:49,642 --> 00:21:52,395
[telephone ringing]

415
00:21:55,898 --> 00:21:57,358
Yeah?

416
00:21:57,442 --> 00:22:00,403
Charlie, it's me. Are you okay?

417
00:22:00,486 --> 00:22:03,114
Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

418
00:22:03,197 --> 00:22:04,991
You don't sound so good.

419
00:22:05,074 --> 00:22:07,744
Listen, Graham knows
who you are and why you're here.

420
00:22:07,827 --> 00:22:10,163
Yeah, I was gonna tell you about that.

421
00:22:10,246 --> 00:22:12,081
It's okay. Phil hired you

422
00:22:12,165 --> 00:22:14,000
to bring back all the money that
Graham stole, right?

423
00:22:14,834 --> 00:22:18,004
Money? Uh, yeah, right.

424
00:22:18,087 --> 00:22:20,590
Oh, Charlie, I've goofed up, big time.

425
00:22:20,673 --> 00:22:22,925
Listen, I have got to
get away from Graham.

426
00:22:23,009 --> 00:22:24,552
I mean, I don't want to come across

427
00:22:24,635 --> 00:22:26,137
as a terrible person or anything,

428
00:22:26,220 --> 00:22:27,638
but the truth is,

429
00:22:27,722 --> 00:22:29,348
I don't want to go back to my husband.

430
00:22:29,432 --> 00:22:31,392
Hey, Dorie, I understand.

431
00:22:31,476 --> 00:22:33,519
To hell with him and this gig, too.

432
00:22:33,603 --> 00:22:35,855
What's important is
getting you out of there.

433
00:22:36,814 --> 00:22:38,649
Listen, I think I know
what you're thinking,

434
00:22:38,733 --> 00:22:40,735
and I don't want to
lead you on or anything,

435
00:22:42,028 --> 00:22:44,947
but I just don't know
if it could work out with us.

436
00:22:45,490 --> 00:22:48,451
I mean, it might and it might not.

437
00:22:49,911 --> 00:22:51,162
Anyway...

438
00:22:51,245 --> 00:22:53,372
I think I can lay my hands on the money.

439
00:22:53,456 --> 00:22:56,250
Forget the money.
I don't want you taking any chances.

440
00:22:56,793 --> 00:22:58,044
Now, what I've got to know

441
00:22:58,127 --> 00:23:00,963
is exactly where your
playmates are right now.

442
00:23:08,096 --> 00:23:10,014
[knock on door]

443
00:23:13,351 --> 00:23:17,230
Jessica. I need your help.

444
00:23:17,313 --> 00:23:18,940
Dorie Sparling?

445
00:23:19,023 --> 00:23:21,150
That is one frightened lady.

446
00:23:22,026 --> 00:23:23,861
What do you want me to do, Charlie?

447
00:23:33,037 --> 00:23:34,956
Psst, Wendell.

448
00:23:37,708 --> 00:23:40,128
I was kind of hoping you'd
give me an excuse to do that.

449
00:23:42,630 --> 00:23:44,257
[gun cocks]

450
00:23:49,053 --> 00:23:51,931
Dorie, it's me, Charlie.

451
00:23:53,516 --> 00:23:55,560
Charlie, thank God.

452
00:23:55,643 --> 00:23:58,146
-Okay, come on, we gotta get moving.
-What about Graham?

453
00:23:58,229 --> 00:24:00,273
Don't worry, he's being taken care of.

454
00:24:00,356 --> 00:24:02,483
[calypso music playing]

455
00:24:12,702 --> 00:24:14,412
[music stops]

456
00:24:16,581 --> 00:24:18,583
[music resumes]

457
00:24:21,085 --> 00:24:22,670
Now, I want to be absolutely sure

458
00:24:22,753 --> 00:24:24,380
that I've got this right.

459
00:24:24,463 --> 00:24:26,465
So when you're steering into the wind,

460
00:24:26,549 --> 00:24:28,509
you're jibing, right? And--

461
00:24:28,593 --> 00:24:30,219
No, that's called tacking.

462
00:24:30,303 --> 00:24:33,639
Oh. Oh, yes, yes. And then, if you were--

463
00:24:33,723 --> 00:24:35,433
Mrs. Fletcher, you're really going
to have to excuse me.

464
00:24:35,516 --> 00:24:36,976
I need to get back to the boat.

465
00:24:37,059 --> 00:24:38,477
Oh, dear, I've only got

466
00:24:38,561 --> 00:24:39,854
a couple of more questions to ask you.

467
00:24:39,937 --> 00:24:41,981
Oh, I am so glad I ran into you.

468
00:24:42,064 --> 00:24:45,902
You see, it appears that I have written
two complete chapters

469
00:24:45,985 --> 00:24:48,279
using all of the wrong information.

470
00:24:48,362 --> 00:24:50,865
-Now, if you could--
-Perhaps we can discuss it another time.

471
00:24:50,948 --> 00:24:53,701
Oh, yes, yes, that would be lovely.

472
00:24:53,784 --> 00:24:56,996
I mean, tomorrow afternoon
would be perfect.

473
00:24:57,079 --> 00:24:59,707
Say, 3:00? Uh, no. No, not 3:00.

474
00:24:59,790 --> 00:25:02,460
Say, 4:30. That would be perfect for me,

475
00:25:02,543 --> 00:25:04,253
if that didn't inconvenience you.

476
00:25:04,337 --> 00:25:06,339
Mrs. Fletcher, I was under the impression

477
00:25:06,422 --> 00:25:08,549
that you weren't doing any writing,

478
00:25:08,633 --> 00:25:10,343
that this was a pleasure trip for you.

479
00:25:10,426 --> 00:25:13,804
Oh, but it is. You see, I wrote
those two chapters

480
00:25:13,888 --> 00:25:17,058
before I left New York. [laughs]

481
00:25:17,141 --> 00:25:18,976
-Take care.
-Yes.

482
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,095
[gun cocks]

483
00:26:10,069 --> 00:26:11,654
Charlie...

484
00:26:11,737 --> 00:26:14,699
Dorie, no.

485
00:26:34,927 --> 00:26:37,096
[siren wailing]

486
00:26:38,723 --> 00:26:40,266
Madame Fletcher.

487
00:26:42,685 --> 00:26:44,729
[speaking French]

488
00:26:48,649 --> 00:26:50,484
Monsieur Garrett did not sleep

489
00:26:50,568 --> 00:26:53,154
in his own room last evening.

490
00:26:53,612 --> 00:26:54,655
Where is he?

491
00:26:55,114 --> 00:26:57,450
I have no idea.

492
00:26:58,492 --> 00:27:00,703
May I remind you, Madame, that you
could well be charged

493
00:27:00,786 --> 00:27:02,580
as an accomplice in this affair?

494
00:27:02,663 --> 00:27:04,540
[knocking on door]

495
00:27:04,623 --> 00:27:06,876
[speaking French]

496
00:27:10,588 --> 00:27:13,549
We found him asleep in
the Hills above Trinity Bay.

497
00:27:13,632 --> 00:27:15,718
Perhaps now we will learn the truth.

498
00:27:15,801 --> 00:27:18,554
His pistol. It was fired recently.

499
00:27:18,637 --> 00:27:20,806
There's a single round
missing from the cylinder.

500
00:27:20,890 --> 00:27:22,683
The one I fired at the killer,

501
00:27:22,767 --> 00:27:24,935
which is what I've been trying
to tell this bozo.

502
00:27:25,019 --> 00:27:26,520
I spent most of the night

503
00:27:26,604 --> 00:27:28,105
trying to track down the lousy bum.

504
00:27:28,189 --> 00:27:29,690
Captain St. Denis,

505
00:27:29,774 --> 00:27:32,526
the bullet that killed Mrs. Sparling--

506
00:27:32,610 --> 00:27:34,070
Has it been recovered?

507
00:27:34,153 --> 00:27:35,905
Regrettably, no.

508
00:27:35,988 --> 00:27:37,573
It passed through the victim

509
00:27:37,656 --> 00:27:39,116
and is probably somewhere

510
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,077
beneath the sifting sands of the inlet.

511
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,289
Fortunately, I do not think that
we will need it.

512
00:27:57,843 --> 00:27:59,136
Hey, dad, you got a minute?

513
00:27:59,220 --> 00:28:00,763
Uh, can we talk about it later?

514
00:28:00,846 --> 00:28:03,182
I'm worried. About you and mom.

515
00:28:03,265 --> 00:28:05,059
Oh, I thought the only
thing you worried about

516
00:28:05,142 --> 00:28:07,186
was saving enough money
to run away to New York City.

517
00:28:09,397 --> 00:28:11,273
Your mother and I have
had problems before.

518
00:28:11,357 --> 00:28:12,983
They will pass.

519
00:28:13,067 --> 00:28:14,485
Now, I have to go to Fort-de-France

520
00:28:14,568 --> 00:28:16,112
to get some pipe fittings.

521
00:28:16,195 --> 00:28:17,822
-For Mr. Garrett's room?
-Yes.

522
00:28:17,905 --> 00:28:19,657
-I fixed it.
-It's not right.

523
00:28:19,740 --> 00:28:21,450
Oh, what a surprise.

524
00:28:23,285 --> 00:28:25,204
Ah, Jessica.

525
00:28:27,081 --> 00:28:29,291
-Problems?
-Yeah, he's bummed out.

526
00:28:29,375 --> 00:28:32,211
Seems like Farrow's not going to
come across with the money he promised.

527
00:28:32,294 --> 00:28:33,671
That's too bad.

528
00:28:36,632 --> 00:28:38,801
Now, Charlie said that he fired his gun

529
00:28:38,884 --> 00:28:40,719
in that direction

530
00:28:40,803 --> 00:28:43,264
at a shadowy figure running away from him.

531
00:28:43,347 --> 00:28:45,474
You believe everything he says?

532
00:28:45,558 --> 00:28:48,144
Charlie? Absolutely not.

533
00:28:48,227 --> 00:28:49,812
Yet you trust him.

534
00:28:49,895 --> 00:28:52,398
Well, I think it's more
that I understand him.

535
00:28:52,481 --> 00:28:54,191
I... I really think that Charlie

536
00:28:54,275 --> 00:28:56,277
is basically a decent man.

537
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,945
Who lies to you.

538
00:28:58,028 --> 00:28:59,572
Well, who withholds things.

539
00:28:59,655 --> 00:29:02,283
It's predictable.
He lives by his own code,

540
00:29:02,366 --> 00:29:04,994
which is usually taking
care of number one,

541
00:29:05,077 --> 00:29:10,082
but then he will suddenly
reveal this foolhardy, courageous side,

542
00:29:10,166 --> 00:29:12,418
such as risking his own life

543
00:29:12,501 --> 00:29:15,546
to try and save Dorie Sparling.

544
00:29:15,629 --> 00:29:17,548
Courage. God, I wish I had some.

545
00:29:17,631 --> 00:29:21,343
-There.
-What? What is that?

546
00:29:21,427 --> 00:29:23,095
Hang on.

547
00:29:29,101 --> 00:29:32,229
There. It's a bullet.

548
00:29:32,313 --> 00:29:34,857
Well, I think that will
give Charlie an alibi.

549
00:29:34,940 --> 00:29:37,359
At least it'll get him out of jail.

550
00:29:37,443 --> 00:29:40,821
[Graham] Sparling,
you miserable son of a--

551
00:29:41,864 --> 00:29:43,407
You did this.

552
00:29:43,491 --> 00:29:46,410
[Sparling] Just think of it as
a message, friend.

553
00:29:46,494 --> 00:29:50,122
I want my money. If I get it, and fast,

554
00:29:50,206 --> 00:29:52,708
you'll continue to lead a healthy life.

555
00:29:52,791 --> 00:29:55,753
I don't have it.
It disappeared last night.

556
00:29:55,836 --> 00:29:58,088
-What do you mean?
-You figure it out, Phil.

557
00:29:58,172 --> 00:29:59,882
Talk to your hired gun.

558
00:29:59,965 --> 00:30:02,551
I already have. And you're lying.

559
00:30:02,635 --> 00:30:04,845
Now, you listen carefully, Graham.

560
00:30:04,929 --> 00:30:07,723
You stole it from me,
you give it back to me.

561
00:30:07,806 --> 00:30:09,642
You've got 12 hours to confirm

562
00:30:09,725 --> 00:30:12,269
that it's on its way.

563
00:30:12,353 --> 00:30:13,979
[speaking French]

564
00:30:14,063 --> 00:30:16,106
[telephone rings]

565
00:30:18,108 --> 00:30:20,611
[Colette] Hello, Hotel Deux Perroquets.
May I help you?

566
00:30:21,862 --> 00:30:24,156
One moment, please.

567
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,242
Excuse me, Mrs. Venable.

568
00:30:26,325 --> 00:30:28,619
You have a phone call
from Richmond, Virginia.

569
00:30:28,702 --> 00:30:30,162
It's your attorney.

570
00:30:32,623 --> 00:30:33,999
Money? What money?

571
00:30:34,083 --> 00:30:36,585
Look, Garrett, don't mess with me.

572
00:30:36,669 --> 00:30:39,171
Hey, Mr. Sparling, I don't know
what the hell you're talking about.

573
00:30:39,255 --> 00:30:43,092
You hired me to find
your wife. I found her.

574
00:30:43,175 --> 00:30:45,803
-Send me a bill.
-Are you sure there's nothing--

575
00:30:55,729 --> 00:30:58,107
Funny, I don't remember
calling room service.

576
00:30:58,190 --> 00:30:59,858
Where's the money?

577
00:30:59,942 --> 00:31:01,986
What is it with you? All of a sudden,

578
00:31:02,069 --> 00:31:04,196
everybody wants to know
where the money is.

579
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:05,864
I just got off the phone
telling your partner

580
00:31:05,948 --> 00:31:08,033
I don't know anything about any money.

581
00:31:08,117 --> 00:31:09,660
Don't be a chump, Garrett.

582
00:31:09,743 --> 00:31:11,704
You were had by the lady.

583
00:31:11,787 --> 00:31:13,455
You watch what you say about her.

584
00:31:13,539 --> 00:31:15,082
Believe me, by now, she'd have dumped you

585
00:31:15,165 --> 00:31:16,750
and been halfway around the world.

586
00:31:16,834 --> 00:31:17,793
-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah.

587
00:31:17,876 --> 00:31:20,004
[grunts]

588
00:31:20,087 --> 00:31:22,047
[punches landing]

589
00:31:22,131 --> 00:31:23,549
Yes?

590
00:31:23,882 --> 00:31:26,719
Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for.

591
00:31:26,802 --> 00:31:28,345
[thumping]

592
00:31:28,429 --> 00:31:31,515
Dave, I have to go. Bye.

593
00:31:37,354 --> 00:31:39,231
[glass shattering]

594
00:31:39,315 --> 00:31:40,774
Charlie?

595
00:31:40,858 --> 00:31:42,276
[Charlie grunting]

596
00:31:42,359 --> 00:31:44,445
Charlie, are you in there?

597
00:31:46,363 --> 00:31:48,782
Mr. Garrett is indisposed
just now, Mrs. Fletcher.

598
00:31:48,866 --> 00:31:51,493
Well, I want to see him. Charlie!

599
00:31:51,577 --> 00:31:54,121
Look, Mr. Farrow, either
you let me in immediately,

600
00:31:54,204 --> 00:31:56,290
or I'm notifying the police.

601
00:32:00,044 --> 00:32:05,132
Oh, my! Charlie! Good heavens, stop that!

602
00:32:05,215 --> 00:32:07,134
[groaning]

603
00:32:11,013 --> 00:32:14,433
Nothing that won't grow back in
a couple of months.

604
00:32:15,434 --> 00:32:18,687
All right. They wanted the money, right?

605
00:32:18,979 --> 00:32:21,482
You, too? What is it with everybody?

606
00:32:21,565 --> 00:32:23,567
They got money on the brain?

607
00:32:23,651 --> 00:32:26,779
Charlie, I just got off the phone
with Dave Kowalski.

608
00:32:26,862 --> 00:32:29,323
-The reporter?
-From The Chicago Examiner.

609
00:32:29,406 --> 00:32:32,326
He said that the word is
that Philip Sparling

610
00:32:32,409 --> 00:32:34,328
has been in deep financial difficulty

611
00:32:34,411 --> 00:32:36,622
ever since Graham Farrow and his wife

612
00:32:36,705 --> 00:32:38,123
took off together.

613
00:32:38,207 --> 00:32:39,875
Apparently, she and Farrow cleaned out

614
00:32:39,958 --> 00:32:41,710
the company bank accounts.

615
00:32:41,794 --> 00:32:45,047
So? What does that have to do with me?

616
00:32:45,130 --> 00:32:47,174
Well, that plus the fact that Farrow

617
00:32:47,257 --> 00:32:50,010
isn't financing the hotel repairs.

618
00:32:50,094 --> 00:32:52,262
And also what I should've
suspected all along

619
00:32:52,346 --> 00:32:54,890
is that, as usual,
you haven't even been close

620
00:32:54,973 --> 00:32:56,809
to being straight with me.

621
00:32:57,017 --> 00:32:58,686
[sighing] Jessica, look--

622
00:32:58,769 --> 00:33:01,730
Charlie, think. If I hadn't turned up,

623
00:33:01,814 --> 00:33:04,441
you might have been killed.
You still might.

624
00:33:04,525 --> 00:33:06,652
Dorie didn't steal her husband's money.

625
00:33:06,735 --> 00:33:08,779
It must've been that guy Farrow.

626
00:33:08,862 --> 00:33:11,323
She was just trying to
get it back that night.

627
00:33:11,865 --> 00:33:13,367
But the reason I didn't
tell you at the time

628
00:33:13,450 --> 00:33:16,120
was that I didn't want to get you
too deeply involved.

629
00:33:17,329 --> 00:33:19,540
Too deeply involved?

630
00:33:19,623 --> 00:33:21,333
Charlie, who do you think

631
00:33:21,417 --> 00:33:24,128
detained Graham Farrow
while you were off--

632
00:33:24,211 --> 00:33:26,380
Okay, okay, all right.

633
00:33:26,714 --> 00:33:29,091
[sighing] I'm sorry.

634
00:33:29,174 --> 00:33:31,552
Now, how much are we talking about?

635
00:33:31,635 --> 00:33:33,095
What difference does it make?

636
00:33:33,554 --> 00:33:35,097
Charlie.

637
00:33:37,808 --> 00:33:39,643
Six million bucks.

638
00:33:44,857 --> 00:33:46,942
I gotta tell you, Jessica,

639
00:33:47,025 --> 00:33:48,944
the thought of putting all that money

640
00:33:49,027 --> 00:33:51,196
back in the pocket
of that sleazo Phil Sparling

641
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:52,865
really frosts me.

642
00:33:52,948 --> 00:33:54,783
Maybe he'll give you a reward.

643
00:33:54,867 --> 00:33:57,494
In your dreams. It's under here.

644
00:33:58,746 --> 00:34:00,664
[grunting]

645
00:34:04,501 --> 00:34:07,296
I figured the best thing was
to stash it where nobody would think to...

646
00:34:09,965 --> 00:34:12,593
It's not here. The money's gone!

647
00:34:14,470 --> 00:34:15,763
[sighs]

648
00:35:25,916 --> 00:35:27,918
Oh, Miss Willens,
I was on my way to see you.

649
00:35:28,001 --> 00:35:29,586
You're leaving?

650
00:35:29,670 --> 00:35:31,129
I can't talk to you now, Mr. Venable.

651
00:35:31,213 --> 00:35:32,714
This won't take but a minute.

652
00:35:32,798 --> 00:35:34,299
-Let me help you with--
-I said, not now.

653
00:35:34,383 --> 00:35:36,093
I think you'll find it's important.

654
00:35:36,176 --> 00:35:38,637
I, uh, hope you won't be offended, Norma--

655
00:35:38,720 --> 00:35:40,472
Uh, Miss Willens--

656
00:35:40,556 --> 00:35:42,182
But my mother, when she saw

657
00:35:42,266 --> 00:35:44,476
that I was attracted to you,

658
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,645
she took the liberty
of having her attorney

659
00:35:46,728 --> 00:35:49,147
look into your, um, background.

660
00:35:49,231 --> 00:35:51,275
-Your mother did this?
-I assure you...

661
00:35:51,358 --> 00:35:53,068
it was over my most strenuous objections.

662
00:35:53,151 --> 00:35:55,571
And your reputation has proven spotless.

663
00:35:55,654 --> 00:35:58,949
But there was one rather curious
aspect to the report.

664
00:35:59,032 --> 00:36:00,492
I don't believe this.

665
00:36:00,576 --> 00:36:02,703
Please, try and understand.

666
00:36:02,786 --> 00:36:04,454
It turns out that,

667
00:36:04,538 --> 00:36:06,498
according to the teacher's association,

668
00:36:06,582 --> 00:36:08,876
you've been deceased for two years.

669
00:36:08,959 --> 00:36:10,460
Which may explain why you haven't been

670
00:36:10,544 --> 00:36:12,296
getting any mail from them.

671
00:36:12,379 --> 00:36:15,757
Ah, of course.

672
00:36:16,508 --> 00:36:19,177
Well, I'll take care of it
as soon as I get home.

673
00:36:19,261 --> 00:36:20,846
Thank you very much, Hilton.

674
00:36:20,929 --> 00:36:22,264
My pleasure. Perhaps I could call you?

675
00:36:22,347 --> 00:36:23,682
She might welcome that, Hilton,

676
00:36:23,765 --> 00:36:25,350
'cause where she's going,

677
00:36:25,434 --> 00:36:27,269
she's not gonna get too many calls.

678
00:36:27,352 --> 00:36:30,939
Excuse me. Um, could
someone please tell me

679
00:36:31,023 --> 00:36:32,858
exactly what this is about?

680
00:36:32,941 --> 00:36:34,693
It's about six million bucks

681
00:36:34,776 --> 00:36:37,237
and the murder of a lady
who didn't deserve to die.

682
00:36:37,487 --> 00:36:40,032
Your sandals left a very
distinctive footprint

683
00:36:40,115 --> 00:36:44,202
up in the jungle where Charlie
hid the money, and where you found it.

684
00:36:44,286 --> 00:36:46,538
Your suggestion to run
an Interpol check on this woman

685
00:36:46,622 --> 00:36:48,707
was very astute, Madame Fletcher.

686
00:36:51,168 --> 00:36:53,837
It turns out that she is
a professional assassin,

687
00:36:54,296 --> 00:36:55,964
Marybeth Carlson,

688
00:36:56,048 --> 00:36:59,134
Wanted for murder in several countries.

689
00:36:59,217 --> 00:37:01,678
-Good heavens.
-She's a contract hitter?

690
00:37:03,096 --> 00:37:04,723
Who sent you?

691
00:37:06,975 --> 00:37:10,979
I have a feeling it was
your client, Charlie.

692
00:37:11,313 --> 00:37:13,732
Phil Sparling? No, no, no. Oh, no.

693
00:37:13,815 --> 00:37:16,151
He hired me to rescue his wife.

694
00:37:19,029 --> 00:37:20,656
No.

695
00:37:22,991 --> 00:37:24,159
No.

696
00:37:31,249 --> 00:37:32,793
[Norma] And once Garrett led me

697
00:37:32,876 --> 00:37:34,670
to Mrs. Sparling and Graham Farrow,

698
00:37:34,753 --> 00:37:36,838
my job was to get the money back.

699
00:37:36,922 --> 00:37:38,924
Yeah, and there I was, too dumb to realize

700
00:37:39,007 --> 00:37:41,093
that I'd set Dorie up for this.

701
00:37:41,176 --> 00:37:43,762
This weapon we found

702
00:37:43,845 --> 00:37:46,014
You used it to assassinate
Madame Sparling?

703
00:37:46,098 --> 00:37:47,557
No.

704
00:37:50,060 --> 00:37:51,311
I followed Garrett down to the bay,

705
00:37:51,395 --> 00:37:54,064
I watched him bring Mrs. Sparling ashore.

706
00:37:54,690 --> 00:37:56,900
Yes, I did have the rifle with me,

707
00:37:56,984 --> 00:37:59,319
but I was only gonna scare them.

708
00:37:59,403 --> 00:38:02,197
Someone else shot her.

709
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,575
I never did see who.

710
00:38:05,659 --> 00:38:09,204
But that is a night scope,
and I did see the cash.

711
00:38:09,287 --> 00:38:11,665
So you followed Charlie
up to the jungle shack

712
00:38:11,748 --> 00:38:13,959
and watched where he hid the money?

713
00:38:14,042 --> 00:38:16,795
And when he left, I grabbed it.

714
00:38:16,878 --> 00:38:19,214
And I was just about
to go to the airport--

715
00:38:19,297 --> 00:38:21,883
All right. Despite your denial,
Madame Willens,

716
00:38:21,967 --> 00:38:25,178
Or, rather, Carlson,

717
00:38:25,595 --> 00:38:27,305
I am placing you under arrest

718
00:38:27,389 --> 00:38:29,182
for the murder of Dorie Sparling.

719
00:38:29,266 --> 00:38:32,728
Look, I told you, I didn't kill her.

720
00:38:32,811 --> 00:38:35,397
Go ahead, check my weapon.

721
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,232
It hasn't been fired in months.

722
00:38:37,315 --> 00:38:38,525
That's it!

723
00:38:38,608 --> 00:38:40,736
Pardon?

724
00:38:40,819 --> 00:38:42,696
Don't ask. She gets this way.

725
00:38:42,779 --> 00:38:44,823
I believe I know who killed Mrs. Sparling.

726
00:38:44,906 --> 00:38:46,950
-But...
-But in order to prove it,

727
00:38:47,034 --> 00:38:49,703
I need to stop in the village.

728
00:38:55,792 --> 00:38:57,878
But just so that everybody understands,

729
00:38:57,961 --> 00:39:00,672
this doesn't necessarily mean
that our marriage is over.

730
00:39:00,756 --> 00:39:03,633
I simply felt the need
to get back to Maine for a while

731
00:39:03,717 --> 00:39:05,260
and get my head straight.

732
00:39:05,343 --> 00:39:08,305
We talked it all out.

733
00:39:09,431 --> 00:39:11,266
It's the best thing that she could do

734
00:39:11,349 --> 00:39:13,685
for all of us, I think.

735
00:39:13,769 --> 00:39:15,979
I certainly hope you're right, Maurice.

736
00:39:16,521 --> 00:39:20,275
So Norma Willens killed Dorie Sparling?

737
00:39:20,358 --> 00:39:22,402
It looks that way.

738
00:39:22,903 --> 00:39:23,945
You know, I really feel...

739
00:39:24,029 --> 00:39:26,198
I really feel very sorry for Charlie.

740
00:39:26,281 --> 00:39:30,202
Mrs. Sparling's death...
well, he took it very badly.

741
00:39:30,285 --> 00:39:31,787
Yeah, I saw him going out a while ago.

742
00:39:31,870 --> 00:39:33,622
He seemed pretty upset.

743
00:39:33,705 --> 00:39:35,123
I offered to go with him,

744
00:39:35,207 --> 00:39:37,125
but he seemed to want to be alone.

745
00:39:37,876 --> 00:39:40,003
Oh, that reminds me...

746
00:39:40,087 --> 00:39:41,922
it's past my bedtime.

747
00:39:42,756 --> 00:39:44,966
-Night.
-Good night, everyone.

748
00:39:45,884 --> 00:39:46,968
Dad.

749
00:39:52,140 --> 00:39:53,517
Good night, Jeff.

750
00:40:29,469 --> 00:40:32,180
You sure as hell
called that right, Jessica.

751
00:40:32,264 --> 00:40:34,141
Monsieur Garrett. Jessica.

752
00:40:34,224 --> 00:40:36,935
I had a report there was
a lizard in the room.

753
00:40:37,477 --> 00:40:38,854
There is, pal. You.

754
00:40:38,937 --> 00:40:40,897
Dorie Sparling's killer.

755
00:40:40,981 --> 00:40:42,691
And you came here to find the money

756
00:40:42,774 --> 00:40:44,109
you murdered her for.

757
00:40:44,192 --> 00:40:45,902
Oh, no, you are mistaken.

758
00:40:45,986 --> 00:40:48,572
I wish we were, Maurice. First of all,

759
00:40:48,655 --> 00:40:51,324
it had to be someone who
knew Charlie's moves.

760
00:40:51,408 --> 00:40:54,119
Such as the fact that he was going
to Trinity bay last night

761
00:40:54,202 --> 00:40:56,288
to rescue Dorie Sparling from the yacht.

762
00:40:56,371 --> 00:40:58,248
Well, that... that would be Miss Willens.

763
00:40:58,331 --> 00:41:00,333
I heard that she followed him up there.

764
00:41:00,417 --> 00:41:02,502
No, no, no, Jessica's
talking about somebody

765
00:41:02,586 --> 00:41:04,838
who probably got there before me.

766
00:41:04,921 --> 00:41:06,756
Someone who also had a way of knowing

767
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,842
that Dorie Sparling had found the money

768
00:41:08,925 --> 00:41:10,844
that Graham Farrow stole from her husband

769
00:41:10,927 --> 00:41:13,388
and knew that she was bringing it ashore.

770
00:41:13,471 --> 00:41:15,223
Well, how would I know that?

771
00:41:15,307 --> 00:41:17,475
By listening in on Charlie's phone calls.

772
00:41:17,559 --> 00:41:20,353
Yesterday, when I was in the lobby,
I noticed how you were able

773
00:41:20,437 --> 00:41:22,355
to break into the guest room phone calls.

774
00:41:22,439 --> 00:41:23,940
Sorry to cut in, Mrs. Donohue.

775
00:41:24,024 --> 00:41:25,609
I think I have cleared your line.

776
00:41:25,692 --> 00:41:27,485
Between the hotel's ancient equipment

777
00:41:27,569 --> 00:41:29,446
and your handiness with such things,

778
00:41:29,529 --> 00:41:31,072
I'm sure it was quite a simple matter.

779
00:41:31,156 --> 00:41:32,908
Oh, dear. Jessica...

780
00:41:32,991 --> 00:41:35,452
I respect your imagination
and your creativity,

781
00:41:35,535 --> 00:41:37,287
but it is clear they have
gotten out of hand.

782
00:41:37,370 --> 00:41:38,663
Now, excuse me.

783
00:41:38,747 --> 00:41:40,457
I wouldn't do that, pal.

784
00:41:40,540 --> 00:41:42,542
There's something else, Maurice.

785
00:41:42,626 --> 00:41:44,294
This isn't the first time

786
00:41:44,377 --> 00:41:46,296
you've searched
Charlie's room for that money.

787
00:41:47,005 --> 00:41:49,716
Forgive me, but now you are
being truly ridiculous.

788
00:41:49,799 --> 00:41:51,635
-Wrong, Buster.
-This afternoon,

789
00:41:51,718 --> 00:41:54,429
I noticed captain St. Denis'
watering can was clogged,

790
00:41:54,930 --> 00:41:58,767
and it reminded me that
when I came out of my room earlier today,

791
00:41:59,267 --> 00:42:01,770
you had apparently just
been in Charlie's room,

792
00:42:02,312 --> 00:42:04,397
ostensibly to repair his clogged sink.

793
00:42:04,898 --> 00:42:06,358
-For Mr. Garrett's room?
-Yes.

794
00:42:06,441 --> 00:42:08,068
-I fixed it.
-It's not right.

795
00:42:08,151 --> 00:42:09,903
Oh, that's a surprise.

796
00:42:09,986 --> 00:42:12,447
The fact was, Jeff had fixed the drain.

797
00:42:12,530 --> 00:42:14,074
You were simply using it as an excuse

798
00:42:14,157 --> 00:42:15,700
to get into Charlie's room.

799
00:42:16,243 --> 00:42:17,285
And I noticed

800
00:42:17,369 --> 00:42:19,788
when you went to light your cigar,

801
00:42:20,038 --> 00:42:23,124
you couldn't find this,
your missing lighter.

802
00:42:24,876 --> 00:42:28,380
The one you lost at the inlet
from Trinity Bay.

803
00:42:28,463 --> 00:42:31,424
We found it right where
you were standing when you shot Dorie.

804
00:42:31,508 --> 00:42:33,760
At the base of the tree
where I found the bullet

805
00:42:33,843 --> 00:42:35,595
that Charlie fired at you.

806
00:42:40,141 --> 00:42:42,018
After the poker game,

807
00:42:42,435 --> 00:42:45,105
I happened to overhear
Sergeant Courbet mention

808
00:42:45,188 --> 00:42:47,315
that Mr. Garrett has arrived on the island

809
00:42:47,399 --> 00:42:50,819
and that he was a Private
Investigator from Chicago.

810
00:42:51,361 --> 00:42:53,613
I was desperate to get back at Farrow.

811
00:42:54,281 --> 00:42:55,699
I knew he and Mrs. Sparling

812
00:42:55,782 --> 00:42:58,368
were from Chicago, so I was curious.

813
00:42:58,451 --> 00:43:00,453
Maybe there was a connection.

814
00:43:00,537 --> 00:43:02,872
And when you discovered
Charlie was a guest at the hotel,

815
00:43:02,956 --> 00:43:04,874
you checked his phone calls.

816
00:43:04,958 --> 00:43:07,460
And voila, there it was.

817
00:43:07,544 --> 00:43:09,754
He had been talking to Philip Sparling.

818
00:43:09,838 --> 00:43:12,382
And so you listened to
the rest of my phone calls.

819
00:43:12,465 --> 00:43:15,885
And when Mrs. Sparling
called and mentioned the money,

820
00:43:16,594 --> 00:43:18,680
I made a decision.

821
00:43:18,763 --> 00:43:22,517
To kill her and Charlie
and take the money.

822
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,311
Yes.

823
00:43:24,769 --> 00:43:26,771
But when Mr. Garrett fired back at me

824
00:43:26,855 --> 00:43:31,943
and almost hit me,
I panicked and ran away.

825
00:43:34,487 --> 00:43:39,451
Ohh, my lighter.
If you had not found that--

826
00:43:39,534 --> 00:43:42,787
I didn't. I noticed
that you were without it

827
00:43:42,871 --> 00:43:44,456
after the murder.

828
00:43:44,539 --> 00:43:47,500
I bought this one today in the village

829
00:43:48,251 --> 00:43:50,378
on the chance that I was right.

830
00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:01,514
[Jessica] I'm not sure that it would
have been Lauren's first choice

831
00:44:01,598 --> 00:44:03,433
for getting a new start,

832
00:44:03,516 --> 00:44:05,352
but the hotel's all hers,

833
00:44:05,435 --> 00:44:07,979
and Graham Farrow has signed
a quitclaim on his share.

834
00:44:08,063 --> 00:44:09,773
Oh, that's nice.

835
00:44:09,856 --> 00:44:12,901
And Jeff's decided to stay
on with her, and Colette.

836
00:44:12,984 --> 00:44:14,819
-Good.
-Mm-hmm.

837
00:44:14,903 --> 00:44:17,113
Jessica, what time do you have?

838
00:44:17,530 --> 00:44:20,116
Five minutes later than
the last time you asked.

839
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:21,910
Oh, I'm sorry.

840
00:44:21,993 --> 00:44:23,703
It's just that I don't
want to miss my plane.

841
00:44:23,787 --> 00:44:25,372
Well, Charlie, I don't blame you.

842
00:44:27,499 --> 00:44:28,792
Yeah, I know.

843
00:44:29,334 --> 00:44:31,961
It was just so damned sweet
there for a while,

844
00:44:32,045 --> 00:44:34,381
even though it was all
maybe just a fantasy.

845
00:44:35,965 --> 00:44:37,926
I guess I should put a lid on
that kind of stuff, huh?

846
00:44:38,009 --> 00:44:40,136
I don't think you can, Charlie.

847
00:44:40,220 --> 00:44:42,972
But don't even try. You're a romantic.

848
00:44:43,056 --> 00:44:44,349
Who, me? Come on.

849
00:44:44,432 --> 00:44:46,059
There aren't enough people like you

850
00:44:46,142 --> 00:44:48,520
in the world these days.

851
00:44:49,437 --> 00:44:50,730
So when are you heading back?

852
00:44:50,814 --> 00:44:53,983
Well, not until after I've
had a vacation, thank you.

853
00:44:54,067 --> 00:44:55,902
You mean, you haven't
been having a vacation?

854
00:44:55,985 --> 00:44:57,904
All this time, I thought you were resting.

855
00:44:57,987 --> 00:45:00,615
Rest? Listen, I've got
tennis in half an hour,

856
00:45:00,698 --> 00:45:02,867
and then Jeff's giving me a scuba lesson.

857
00:45:02,951 --> 00:45:05,578
Charlie, it's not too late
for you to try it.

858
00:45:06,538 --> 00:45:08,331
[laughing]
