Original subtitles

Man: VASQUEZ. DeSTEFANO. SHAUNESSY.

GOOD SCOTCH.

Man: YEAH, RIGHT.

DOUGLAS. YOU'RE ALL HERE.

GOOD. WELL, SIT DOWN,

I HAVE SOMETHING I WANT TO SHOW YOU.

OVER THE NEXT 3 DECADES HORNING CEREALS

BECAME AN INTERNATIONAL CONGLOMERATE

WITH BRANCHES, OR SHOULD I SAY, TENTACLES ALL OVER THE GLOBE

WITH EVERY DECISION IN THAT BOARD ROOM COMING FROM ONE MAN--

MELVILLE HORNING.

INSIDERS SAY THERE WAS A VEIL OF SECRECY PROTECTED

WITH AN ALMOST CARTOONISH FERVOR BY MELVILLE HIMSELF.

A SIGN OF A VERY PARANOID AND TROUBLED MIND.

THE MIND OF MELVILLE HORNING.

LET'S SEE IF WE CAN CATCH HIM.

HERE IS. MR. HORNING?

IS IT TRUE THAT YOU DUMP EXPIRED AND CONTAMINATED FOOD

IN THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES?

WHO ARE YOU? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

- BOBBY WALKERS, A FILMMAKER. - EXCUSE ME, PLEASE.

AND ISN'T IT TRUE THAT YOU TAKE HUGE

TAX DEDUCTIONS FROM DISASTER CHARITIES?

OF COURSE NOT, WHO IS THIS?

WELL, I HAVE EVIDENCE RIGHT HERE.

SIR, PLEASE--

EVIDENCE...

HE HAS...EVIDENCE.

WHICH ONE OF MY LOYAL VICE-PRESIDENTS

TALKED TO THIS CRACKPOT?

OH, PLEASE.

IT WASN'T ME, SIR,

I JUST GOT BACK FROM SOUTHEAST ASIA,

LAST WEEK.

MR. HORNING, I DIDN'T DO IT.

I MEAN, NONE OF US WOULD TALK TO THIS CREEP, MR. HORNING.

I SWEAR--

THAT WHOEVER LEAKED THIS INFORMATION...

IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT DEARLY.

LET'S GO.

MR. HORNING, LISTEN TO ME.

WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD WE--

VASQUEZ, STICK AROUND.

[GROANS]

OH, MY HEAD.

[GROANING]

[WATER SPLASHES]

MAN OVERBOARD!

IT'S MR. HORNING!

OH, WHAT TIME IS IT?

- WHAT'S GOING ON? - WHAT'S THE MATTER?

AH, IT'S THE BOSS, HE FELL OVERBOARD.

I THINK HE'S DROWNING.

- WHAT? - HOW?

OVERBOARD?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

HE SAYS HORNING'S OVERBOARD.

I SAW HIM. I KNOW I SAW HIM.

YOU IDIOT.

DON'T, DON'T. LOOK, WAIT, DON'T JUMP.

OH, MR. HORNING, I GOT YOU.

ALL RIGHT, YOU GOT HIM.

I'M GOING AROUND BACK.

HERE.

DANNY, SWIM HIM AROUND.

THAT'S IT.

BRING HIM TO THE BACK.

HERE, HERE, HERE.

ALL RIGHT. GIVE ME HIS BELT.

JEEZ, HELP ME. HELP ME LIFT HIM UP.

WE'LL DRAG HIM UP ON THE DECK.

1, 2, 3.

IT'S TOO LATE.

MR. HORNING, I GOT YOU.

LISTEN, THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED,

IF YOU HADN'T GOTTEN HAMMERED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I'M TELL YOU I'M NOT DRUNK, I'M--

GET BACK TO YOUR CABIN AND SLEEP IT OFF.

[GRUNTING]

PERFECT.

JIM!

[DOOR OPENING]

OH, CAPTAIN,

WHAT'S GOING ON?

WE IN PORT ALREADY?

GET UP, JIM.

HEY, HOW'S OLD MAN HORNING? I HAD THE WEIRDEST DREAM.

I THOUGHT HE FELL OVERBOARD.

YOURS WAS NO DREAM.

HORNING DID FALL IN THE DRINK LAST NIGHT.

I FEEL LIKE A JERK, 'CAUSE I SLEPT RIGHT THROUGH IT.

BUT HORNING, HE'S MAD AS HELL.

NOW I KNOW EVERYONE HAD A LITTLE TOO MUCH TO DRINK LAST NIGHT,

BUT I THOUGHT YOU MEANT IT THIS TIME.

HEY, I WASN'T DRUNK, BARNEY. I SWEAR.

I WANT TO BELIEVE YOU,

BUT THE GUY'S SAFETY WAS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

HORNING WANT YOU OUT OF HERE. NOW.

BARNEY, COME ON.

COME ON, I NEED THIS GIG, MAN.

I'M SORRY.

AT LEAST LET ME TALK TO HORNING.

IT'S TOO LATE. HE'S ALREADY SPLIT WITH THE ITALIAN WOMAN.

GET YOUR GEAR TOGETHER. LET'S GO.

YOU GOT EVERYTHING?

LOOK WHO'S HERE.

[SIGHS]

THERE HE IS.

WE EVEN BOXED OLD JIM.

SHOULD'VE LEFT THAT SEAT FOR HIM.

- HE NEEDS A LOT OF HELP. - WHAT'S HE LOOKING AT?

COME ON.

GO HOME, JIM.

[HUMMING]

YOU'RE HOME EARLY.

YEAH.

HI.

HOW WAS CHURCH?

IT WAS GOOD.

THE BOAT'S NOT DUE BACK UNTIL TONIGHT.

OH, NO.

NOT AGAIN. YOU GOT FIRED, DIDN'T YOU?

IT WASN'T MY FAULT, MAGGIE. GIVE ME A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN.

EXPLAIN WHAT?

HONEY, THIS WAS A VERY GOOD JOB OPPORTUNITY.

WHAT DID YOU DO?

I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

THE OLD MAN SLIPPED AND FELL OVERBOARD.

WHO SLIPPED?

MELVILLE HORNING, THE BIG BOSS.

SOMEBODY HAD TO TAKE THE BLAME, SO THEY FIRED ME.

THEY WOULDN'T EVEN LET ME SEE HIM.

I TOLD THEM I WASN'T DRUNK, BUT THEY FIRED ME ANYWAY.

WHY DIDN'T THEY BELIEVE YOU?

I WAS HAVING--

SOME KIND OF DIZZY SPELL.

WERE YOU DRINKING AGAIN?

MAGGIE--

I SWEAR TO YOU

I HAVEN'T HAD A DRINK IN 91/2 MONTHS.

YOU GOT TO BELIEVE ME.

I CAN'T.

I'M SORRY.

I THINK YOU SHOULD LEAVE.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

CATHY DAVIS, HAVE YOU THOUGHT UP

A NEW BRAINTEASER?

FEEL LIKE BEING TEASED?

BY YOU? ANY TIME.

ALL RIGHT. THIS ONE'S A RIDDLE.

RIDDLE ME.

OK.

AT NIGHT THEM COME WITHOUT BEING FETCHED.

AND AT DAY THEY'RE LOST WITHOUT BEING STOLEN.

AT NIGHT THEY COME WITHOUT BEING FETCHED.

AND BY DAY THEY'RE LOST WITHOUT BEING STOLEN.

TINKER, TAILOR, HOUSEWIFE, SPY, AND PUZZLE MAKER.

HAVE I LEFT ANYTHING OUT?

I PREFER DOMESTIC GODDESS

OF THE CENTRAL SECURITY AGENCY.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, HAVE YOU HEARD FROM FRANK DARNELL LATELY?

NO, I HAVEN'T.

I GUESS HE DOESN'T NEED ME.

GOOD, WELL, THAT MAKES MORE FOR ME.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I JUST NEED TO TAPE SOMETHING ON THE FINANCE CHANNEL.

WHAT?

THE FINANCE CHANNEL?

IT'S MY RARE PLEASURE TO BE SPEAKING LIVE

IN OUR STUDIO

WITH NOTORIOUSLY RECLUSIVE

BREAKFAST CEREAL MAGNATE, MELVILLE HORNING.

WE JUST DON'T LIKE CONTROVERSY.

NOW IS THAT WHY YOU'RE SUING

FILMMAKER ROBBIE WATERS TO KEEP HIS DOCUMENTARY,

SERIAL KILLER, OFF THE AIR?

OURS IS A HIGHLY COMPETITIVE FIELD.

THE COMPANY--

IT'S FOR ECONOMICS CLASS.

I OWN HORNING FOODS

IN MY FANTASY STOCK PORTFOLIO.

WE'RE BEING GRADED ON IT.

IT'S A HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT.

WELL, THE WORLD MAKES SENSE AGAIN.

DAD, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE

THEY DIDN'T ANNOUNCE ANYTHING IMPORTANT

OR GO BANKRUPT BEFORE CLASS TOMORROW.

IF IT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH NUMBERS, YOU'RE GONNA MESS IT UP.

OH, YEAH? WELL, THEN HOW COME MY PORTFOLIO'S INCREASED

BY 23% ALREADY?

EASY. YOU ADDED WRONG.

ALL RIGHT, YOU TWO, GO TO BED.

WHAT?

I THINK THAT'S OUR CUE.

SAY 10 GRAMS OF SUGAR--

PER SERVING.

WHAT COMES TO MIND?

WHOA! THAT GUY'S KIND OF CREEPY.

BOTH OF THEM.

WELL, LET'S GO FIND SOMEBODY LESS CREEPY.

WE'RE FOLLOWING A BREAKING STORY THIS TUESDAY MORNING.

THE OWNER OF THIS MULTIMILLION DOLLAR BEACHFRONT HOME

WAS FOUND DEAD A WATER'S EDGE

JUST AFTER DAWN BY A JOGGERS.

THE VICTIM HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS

THE RECLUSIVE CEO OF HORNING INTERNATIONAL,

MELVILLE HORNING.

THERE'S NO SIGN OF FOUL PLAY

AND THE PULMONARY CAUSE OF DEATH

IS LISTED AS ACCIDENTAL DROWNING.

IN OTHER NEWS IN THE SOUTHLAND THIS MORNING, CARL--

HERE YOU GO, FRANK.

THANK YOU.

YOU SAID ON THE PHONE THAT YOU NEEDED MY HELP.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

WELL, IT'S ABOUT JIM.

I ASKED HIM TO LEAVE.

THE BOOZE AGAIN?

YEAH.

AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT,

UNTIL I TURNED ON THE NEWS THIS MORNING

AND I HEARD ABOUT MELVILLE HORNING.

HORNING. YEAH, WE WENT OVER THAT IN OUR DAILY BRIEFING.

JIM WAS WORKING FOR HIM.

WELL, YOU KNOW HOW JIM HAS BEEN STRUGGLING WITH HIS ALCOHOLISM.

RIGHT.

WELL, THE LAST COUPLE YEARS

SINCE HE GOT LET GO OF FROM THE C.S.A.

IT'S BEEN THE WORST.

I MEAN, HE'D HAVE A COUPLE MONTHS OF SOBRIETY

AND THEN HE'D START DRINKING AGAIN--

YOU KNOW, LOOK, MAGGIE,

I NEVER WANTED HIM FIRED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I KNOW, FRANK.

AND I NEVER BLAMED YOU FOR THAT.

RIGHT.

ANYWAY, AN OLD NAVY BUDDY OF HIS

GETS HIM THE GIG AS PRIVATE SECURITY FOR MELVILLE HORNING.

THAT'S A BIG JOB.

THE THING IS--

JIM TOLD ME, SUNDAY MORNING,

THAT HE SAW HORNING FALL OVERBOARD AND DROWN

SATURDAY NIGHT.

THEY SAID HE WAS DRUNK.

AND THEY FIRED HIM.

AND THEN HORNING TURNS UP DEAD,

DROWNED, IN FACT.

THAT'S QUITE A COINCIDENCE.

MAYBE I COULD HAVE CATHY HELP ME OUT ON THIS ONE.

THOSE TWO USED TO BE PARTNERS.

CATHY DAVIS?

YEAH.

SHE STILL WORKS WITH YOU?

YEAH, WELL...

I GUESS YOU CAN SAY I KIND OF...

DRAGGED HER BACK IN.

TELL YOU WHAT.

LET ME SEE WHAT I CAN DO.

OK?

AHH! UNI.

UH, SURPRISE.

[DOOR SLAMS]

HI, MOM.

HEY, DON'T SLAM THE DOOR SO HARD.

- HEY. - HI.

HI.

HEY, WAIT, WAIT, SUSAN, COME HERE.

WHAT'S WRONG? ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

SHE WON'T TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG.

IS IT BOY TROUBLE? WHAT--

MY FANTASY STOCK PORTFOLIO.

IT CRASHED,

'CAUSE THE STUPID HEAD OF STUPID HORNING FOODS DIED

AND NOW THE STUPID STOCK IS WORTHLESS.

WELL, AT LEAST IT'S A FANTASY PORTFOLIO.

I GUESS.

HONEY--

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

HI.

HOW ARE YOU?

IT'S FOR YOU. IT'S YOUR BOSS FRANK DARNELL

FROM THE U.S. PUZZLE COMPANY.

HELLO?

CATHY, IT'S FRANK.

HEY, FRANK.

IT'S JIM MONROE. HE NEEDS A HAND.

OH, ALL RIGHT, I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

YOU GO OUT AND SAVE THE WORLD TONIGHT AND I'LL DO THE COOKING.

AND TOMORROW NIGHT WE'LL SWITCH.

I THINK BUILDING HOUSES IS A TERRIFIC WAY OF SAVING THE WORLD.

BYE.

HEY, HEY, DOES YOUR RIDDLE THING HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH DOGS?

I MEAN, THEY COME WITHOUT BEING FETCHED.

THIS SOUNDS LIKE A DOG THING.

NOT EVEN CLOSE.

YEAH.

JIM WAS LIKE A BIG BROTHER TO ME

WHEN I FIRST JOINED THE C.S.A.

IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, HE SAVED YOUR LIFE A OF COUPLE TIMES.

REMEMBER THAT TIME IN PORTUGAL?

OH, AND THE TIME IN DC.

I GUESS YOU OWE HIM ONE.

OH, YEAH.

CATHY DAVIS.

OH!

LOOK AT YOU.

ME? LOOK AT YOU,

STILL THE PRETTIEST SPY IN NORTH AMERICA.

SEE WHY I LIKE HIM SO MUCH?

JIM.

LONG TIME.

FRANK, HOW YOU DOING?

HAVE A SEAT.

I HAVEN'T SEE YOU SINCE I LEFT THE C.S.A. OR--

TRIED TO LEAVE. AND NOW YOU'VE LEFT, TOO.

YEAH, RIGHT, ALTHOUGH I GOT THROWN OUT ON MY DRUNKEN BUTT.

HEY, I'M A SPY, NOT A GOSSIP.

UH, JIM, LOOK, I'VE--

I'VE FILLED CATHY IN ON THE BASICS--

HOW YOU GOT THE JOB ON HORNING'S YACHT

AND WHAT YOU SAID THAT YOU SAW SATURDAY NIGHT.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU REMEMBER-- ANYTHING AT ALL?

WELL, THE MORE I THINK OF IT,

THE MORE I'M SURE I SAW HORNING DROWN.

BUT IT'S LIKE--

I DON'T KNOW. IT'S LIKE SOMEBODY ELSE WAS WATCHING IT,

YOU KNOW, THROUGH MY EYES.

FRANK SAID YOU FELT WOOZY, MESSED UP.

I NEVER HAD A MIGRAINE BEFORE,

BUT IT SURE FELT LIKE ONE.

I'M 9 MONTHS SOBER, CATHY.

IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE WONDERING.

THAT'S GREAT, JIM.

THINK MAYBE YOU GOT SEASICK?

IS THAT A POSSIBILITY?

IF I GOT SEASICK, DO YOU REALLY THINK

I'D GET A JOB ON A BOAT, FRANK, I MEAN, REALLY.

LOOK, JIM, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO HELP--

- ARE YOU? - YES, WE ARE.

LOOK, I TOLD YOU WHAT I SAW.

I WAS A GOOD AGENT, FRANK.

SOMETHING HAPPENED ON THAT BOAT

AND LOST MY JOB AND MY WIFE BECAUSE OF IT.

IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME, I'M GONNA PROVE IT MYSELF.

WHY DID YOU PARK SO FAR AWAY.

I WANTED TO SAVE 5 BUCKS, OK?

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?

ABOUT HIS STORY?

NO, ABOUT HIS DRINKING.

WELL, MY INTUITION SAYS HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH.

SO DOES MY EDUCATED NOSE.

AHH, I GUESS HIS STORY ABOUT HORNING DROWNING

ON SATURDAY NIGHT--

IT IS POSSIBLE.

IT COULD BE POSSIBLE, BUT IS IT PLAUSIBLE?

NO, NOT SO FAR.

THE CORONER SAYS, BECAUSE OF THE RIGOR AND DECOMP OF THE BODY,

HORNING DIED ON MONDAY AT MIDNIGHT.

BETWEEN 10 P.M. ON MONDAY

AND 2 A.M. TUESDAY

DOESN'T EXACTLY INCLUDE SATURDAY NIGHT.

ANY SIGN OF FOUL PLAY?

WELL, THAT'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO DECIDE.

FRANK--

IF THE CORONER DIDN'T FIND ANY EVIDENCE OF WRONGDOING

IT'S GONNA BE TOUGH, BUT--

ALL RIGHT. I'LL LOOK IN TO IT.

JIM'S A GREAT GUY.

I JUST WISH I HADN'T SEEN MELVILLE HORNING

ON LIVE TELEVISION 2 DAYS AFTER

JIM SAID HE SAW HIM DEAD.

SUSAN! WHAT IS SHE DOING?

HURRY IT UP! WE HAVEN'T GOT ALL DAY!

COME ON, SUSAN!

[HORN HONKS]

I'M COMING.

WELL, I SAY HE'S BEEN PROPERLY MEMORIALIZED.

CAN WE GO NOW, DOUG?

STELLA, WHY WASN'T HE BURIED?

WELL, HE WAS TOO PARANOID.

MELVILLE STIPULATED IN HIS WILL HE WANTED A FULL AUTOPSY.

WHAT?

I NEED ANOTHER DRINK.

WELL, WELL, HEY, DOUGIE BOY.

WELL, IF IT ISN'T THE INTERIM CEO.

YEAH, I SEE YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED--

BIG OFFICE, BIG TITLE--

IF YOU THINK I WANTED THE CHAIRMANSHIP LIKE THIS,

YOU'RE AN EVEN WORSE HUMAN BEING

THAN I TOOK YOU FOR.

THE MAN I DEAD FOR GOD SAKES,

CAN WE SHOW A LITTLE RESPECT HERE, DANIEL?

A LITTLE BIT.

COME ON, LET'S GET A DRINK.

OH, NOT MUCH OF A TURNOUT

CONSIDERING WHAT A POWERFUL MAN HE WAS.

I GUESS THE INFLUENCE DIES WITH THE MAN.

THOUGHT I MIGHT FIND YOU LURKING AROUND HERE

AT HORNING'S MEMORIAL SERVICE.

AH, WELL, I'M A SPY.

LURKING'S WHAT I DO.

DID--

I CAN'T JUST LET IT GO.

WHO'S THE BLONDE?

THAT'S STELLA ANDRE,

HORNING'S CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER.

SHE WAS APPOINTED TEMPORARY CEO TO EVERYONE'S SURPRISE.

WHY SURPRISE?

'CAUSE THEY THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE

THE GOLDEN BOY, DOUGLAS MAYNARD,

THE ALL-AMERICAN SUCCESS STORY.

RAISED IN AN ORPHANAGE,

WON A SCHOLARSHIP TO PRINCETON.

HE WAS THE OLD MAN'S FAVORITE OR SO EVERYONE THOUGHT.

THAT'S TOM SHAUNESSY,

HE HANDLES THE SOUTH PACIFIC REGION.

NEVER MET A COLD FOSTERS HE DIDN'T LIKE.

ALSO FOND OF THE LADIES.

MMM. LIKE THAT ONE?

FRANCES DeSTEFANO, SHE'S ITALIAN.

DON'T LET THE GLAMOUR GIRL LOOKS FOOL YOU,

SHE'S ONE TOUGH COOKIE.

AND THAT LEAVES--

DANIEL VASQUEZ, OR EL REY, AS THE CREW CALLED HIM,

DIRECTOR OF EUROPEAN OPERATIONS.

HE COMES FROM FLORIDA.

MADE HIS BONES AT DISNEY.

SO YOU THINK ALL 4 OF THEM ARE GONNA CONFESS

TO SOME KIND OF COVER UP IN SIGN LANGUAGE, JIM?

LOOK, I KNOW WHAT I SAW ON THAT BOAT, CATHY.

BUT APPARENTLY,

NONE OF YOU TRUST ME ENOUGH TO INVESTIGATE.

WHAT AM I, CHOPPED LIVER? I'M HERE. I WANT TO HELP YOU.

I DON'T NEED YOUR CHARITY.

I'LL DO IT MYSELF.

WELL, ANY REASONABLE PERSON,

ANY SOBER PERSON

WOULD ACCEPT ANY HELP THEY COULD GET.

YOU'RE TOO SMART FOR ME, YOU KNOW THAT?

OK. WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

THE HARDEST THING OF ALL--

NOTHING.

IF HORNING DID DIE ON SATURDAY

AND THOSE 4 ARE COVERING IT UP,

YOU'RE THE LAST PERSON WE WANT TALKING TO THEM.

THEY KNOW YOU.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

I'M GONNA FIND OUT WHY--

IF HORNING DIED ON SATURDAY NIGHT,

I SAW HIM ON LIVE TV ON MONDAY.

NAOMI, NAOMI, NAOMI,

HOW MANY TIMES DO HAVE TO REITERATE?

THE SPORT TOP BOTTLE WAS DESIGNED BY PHILISTINES

TO SERVE NEANDERTHALS.

PELLEGRINO, PLEASE.

YES, MR. LEONARD.

SORRY, MR. LEONARD.

IN REAL GLASS.

AHH!

AND YOU MUST BE THE REPORTER

FROM THE WALL STREET JOURNAL.

YOU ARE VERY PUNCTUAL. SO RARE THESE DAYS.

I WOULDN'T BE LATE FOR AN INTERVIEW WITH LEN LEONARD.

I'M JUST SO HONORED TO BE HERE.

ANYTHING FOR THE WSJ

AS I LIKE TO CALL YOUR ESTEEMED PUBLICATION.

SO THIS IS WHERE IT ALL HAPPENS?

THIS IS IT.

PLEASE--

OH!

THIS IS WHERE WE MAKE THE MAGIC.

WOW!

WOW!

THIS IS GREAT.

NOW--

FIRE AWAY.

WHAT IS IT YOU WANT TO KNOW?

WELL, I WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU DID IT?

HOW DID I DO WHAT?

GOT THE CEO OF HORNING FOODS

TO AGREE TO A LIVE, ON THE AIR INTERVIEW.

AH!

BECAUSE, UH, AS THEY SAY--

MELVILLE HORNING ONLY TALKS TO ONE PERSON--

MELVILLE HORNING.

WELL, THERE'S NOTHING LIKE BEING DUBBED

THE SMARTEST MAN ON THE AIR

TO GET PEOPLE TO SIT UP AND TAKE NOTICE.

I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET HIM

IN FRONT OF THAT CASSETTE RECORDER FOR YEARS.

WELL, YOU WON'T GET HIM NOW. BAD LUCK.

I'M SORRY, THAT WAS COLD.

THEY DON'T CALL US--

HARD-BITTEN JOURNALISTS FOR NOTHING.

WELL, UM--

OH, ARE YOU UNCOMFORTABLE?

UH, NO. I WAS JUST TRYING TO MOVE A LITTLE CLOSER.

BOLTED TO THE FLOOR I'M AFRAID.

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THESE TECHNICIANS

TO ADJUST THEIR FIELD OF FOCUS.

YOU KNOW, THAT PUTS ME IN MIND OF THE MOST

HILARIOUS ESCAPADE WHEN I WAS IN PUBLIC TELEVISION IN DC.

BILL BUCKLEY AND I ARE SITTING

WITH JULIA CHILD AND FRED ROGERS

DICK--

OH, SORRY.

UH, I'M SORRY, I HAVE TO TAKE THIS.

I DIDN'T EVEN HEAR A RING.

IT'S VERY SILENT.

WEST COAST BUREAU, JANE.

AH, I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MOST

FASCINATING INTERVIEW.

AHH!

ALL RIGHT, FINE. FINE.

I'M SORRY, I HAVE TO GO.

THEY NEVER INTERRUPT ME DURING ONE OF THOSE

MIND-NUMBING BANK MERGER PIECES.

BUT COULD I TAKE A RAIN CHECK?

I INSIST.

THANK YOU.

OH, UM, I JUST HAVE ONE MORE THING.

COULD I TAKE A PICTURE OF YOU ON YOUR SET?

OH, ABSOLUTELY.

ALL RIGHT.

THAT'S PERFECT. OK.

SMILE.

PERFECT. THANK YOU.

DOES THIS TIE MAKE ME LOOK FRENCH?

Radio: ROGER THAT, WE GOT A GOOD LOOK.

OH, WAIT. LET ME HELP YOU WITH THAT.

OH, THANK YOU.

I'M PATHETIC, AREN'T I?

THAT MAKES TWO OF US.

YOUR BOSS IS JUST AS BAD AS MINE.

LEAVES ME OUT OF THE LOOP, TAKES CREDIT FOR ALL OF MY IDEAS,

MAKES NO ALLOWANCE FOR MY HUSBAND AND MY KIDS.

BUT WHEN IT COME TO HIM AND HIS PROBLEMS, STAND BACK.

UH-HUH.

WHY DO WE PUT UP WITH THAT?

'CAUSE LIFE WOULD BE SO DULL WITHOUT THEM.

YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT.

HUH.

I GOT TO CHECK SOMETHING.

HUH, MAYBE.

- WHERE ARE WE GOING? - THIS WAY.

- WHAT'S HE DOING IN THERE? - AW, HE'S A JERK.

WHEN I SAY--

10 GRAMS OF SUGAR--

PER SERVING.

WHAT COMES TO MIND?

WELL, THE CORN RINGS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN--

WAIT A MINUTE. THE CHAIR.

UH, THIS GARAGE IS A MESS.

YOU TWO, I'M GOING TO THE BANK

SO DON'T KILL EACH OTHER, ALL RIGHT?

I'M GOING TO QUENTIN'S.

THAT'S GREAT, HONEY.

- Both: BYE, MOM - BYE, HUN.

HEY, NICK,

CAN I TALK TO YOU?

WHAT'S GOING ON?

YOU'RE ACTING EVEN WEIRDER THAN USUAL.

MOM ALWAYS SAID WHEN PUSH CAME TO SHOVE,

IT'S FAMILY THAT WILL COME THROUGH FOR YOU.

THAT IN THE END,

YOU AND I WILL ALWAYS BE ABLE TO DEPEND ON EACH OTHER, RIGHT?

DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU WANT TO DEPEND ON ME FOR.

YOU HAVE TO PROMISE NOT TO TELL MOM AND DAD.

I'M IN TROUBLE.

YOU KNOW THAT FANTASY STOCK PORTFOLIO

I PUT TOGETHER FOR ECONOMICS CLASS?

UH-HUH.

WELL, IT'S NOT COMPLETELY FANTASY.

I USED REAL MONEY.

HOW'D YOU GET MONEY TO INVEST IN THE STOCK MARKET?

I BORROWED IT FROM MY SAVINGS ACCOUNT.

THAT'S FOR COLLEGE.

HOW'D YOU EVEN GET IT?

I USED MOM'S PASSWORD FROM HER COMPUTER.

MOM IS GONNA KILL YOU.

I DID ALL THE RESEARCH

AND I PICKED REALLY GOOD STOCKS.

AND I WAS DOING REALLY WELL UNTIL STUPID HORNING DIED.

NICK, IF MOM AND DAD FIND OUT THAT I LOST MY SAVINGS,

DAD'S GONNA HAVE A HEART ATTACK.

THEN IT'S OBVIOUS, ISN'T IT?

THEY CAN'T FIND OUT.

THANKS. SO WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?

I GOT SOME IDEAS.

HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE.

LET ME HELP YOU WITH THESE.

OH, THANKS. OH, IT'S YOU. HI.

- HI. - LOOK, UM,

WHAT I SAID ABOUT MR. LEONARD,

YOU'RE NOT GONNA PRINT ANY OF THAT, ARE YOU?

AND GET YOU IN TROUBLE WITH YOUR BOSS?

I'M NOT THAT KIND OF REPORTER.

GOOD. BECAUSE I LOVE MY JOB.

WELL--

I DON'T REALLY LOVE IT.

IT'S PRETTY LOUSY ACTUALLY.

LOOK, I JUST WANTED TO ASK YOU ONE QUESTION.

AS LONG AS IT'S NOT ABOUT MR. LEONARD.

NO, NO, NO. IT'S ABOUT MELVILLE HORNING.

NOW YOU MET HIM, WHAT IS HE REALLY LIKE?

HORNING?

UM--

UH--

YOU KNOW, HE'S NOT AS BAD AS EVERYONE SAYS, I GUESS.

UM--

HE WAS NEVER HERE, WAS HE?

LOOK, I TOLD YOU BEFORE

I'M NOT THAT KIND OF REPORTER.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING. JUST MOVE YOUR HEAD.

WAS MELVILLE HORNING EVEN HERE ON MONDAY?

YEAH. THEY SAID HE WAS OFF

IN SOME SECRET STUDIO SOMEWHERE BECAUSE OF HOW

PARANOID AND WEIRD HE IS.

BUT I DON'T EVEN THINK IT WAS A LIVE FEED.

I THINK IT WAS SOME OLD CANNED PIECE THEY EDITED IN.

I PROOFREAD THE QUESTIONS--

THEY WERE CONSTRUCTED TO GO WITH THE ANSWERS.

NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.

WHY WOULD SOMEONE WITH LEN LEONARD'S REPUTATION

DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

THE BUZZ IS THAT THE BIG BRASS

BOUGHT PRESSURE TO BEAR, BUT I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY.

I THINK I DO.

ADVERTISING REVENUE.

WELL, HORNING'S CEREAL DOESN'T ADVERTISE ON THE FINANCE CHANNEL.

TRUE. BUT THEY'RE THE NUMBER ONE ADVERTISER ON KID TV.

AND ACCORDING TO THE LATEST FCC FILING,

KID TV OWNS THE FINANCE CHANNEL.

OH!

HEY, FRANK.

SO WHAT DO YOU GOT FOR ME?

SOMETHING PRETTY GOOD.

CHECK THIS OUT.

GREAT. YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE RIGHT HERE.

CHECK THIS OUT.

NOW THIS IS THE GUEST CHAIR ON THE SET OF MONEY TALKS.

WHERE HORNING WAS SUPPOSEDLY INTERVIEWED

LIVE ON THE AIR BY LEN LEONARD ON MONDAY.

THE CHAIRS ARE SCREWED TO THE FLOOR, SEE?

- RIGHT. - OK.

AND THIS IS HORNING AS HE ACTUALLY APPEARED ON CAMERA.

SO IT'S A DIFFERENT CHAIR.

MAYBE THEY REDECORATED.

NOPE. I CHECKED.

HORNING WAS NEVER IN THE STUDIO AT ALL.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE WAS ON MONDAY, I'M STILL WORKING ON THAT.

BUT I KNOW HE WASN'T ON THE SET OF MONEY TALKS.

NOW TAKE A LOOK AT THIS STOCK REPORT.

"CEREAL COMPANY SENIOR EXECUTIVES SELL OFF HOLDINGS."

WELL, ANYONE WOULD SELL THEIR STOCK

AFTER THE BOSS TAKES A LONG WALK ON A SHORT PIER.

LOOK.

THIS ARTICLE'S DATED MONDAY.

HORNING'S-- HORNING'S VICE PRESIDENTS

ALL SOLD THEIR STOCKS BEFORE HORNING TURNED UP DEAD.

YES. THEREBY REALIZING A HUGE PROFIT,

INSTEAD OF A HUGE LOSS.

LUCKY COINCIDENCE FOR THEM, HUH?

RIGHT. KEEP DIGGING.

YOU JUST WANNA CLEAR JIM MONROE'S REPUTATION.

NO, I TOLD YOU I'M-- I'M JUST CURIOUS.

I THINK JIM'S A GOOD MAN. I'D LIKE TO SEE HIM GET IT TOGETHER THAT'S ALL.

SOFTIE.

WHERE YOU GOING?

I'M GOING FISHING.

CAPTAIN BARNES.

THAT'S ME.

PERMISSION TO COME ABOARD?

YEAH.

DO YOU ALWAYS SWAB YOUR OWN DECKS?

I FIND IT THERAPEUTIC.

AND YOU ARE?

OH, JANE DOE, HARBOR PATROL.

JUST TRANSFERRED IN FROM REDONDO.

DO YOU EVER USE BAKING SODA ON THAT THING?

AND TOMATO JUICE, LEMONS,

INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH ODOR EATERS.

CATCH COOLERS SMELL LIKE FISH.

WELL, HERE'S THE THING, CAPTAIN BARNES.

WE RECEIVED A REPORT THAT A MELVILLE HORNING DIED

ON YOUR LAST VOYAGE.

IT SEEMS LIKE THE SORT OF THING A CAPTAIN WOULD REPORT, YOU KNOW.

HE WOULD, IF IT HAPPENED.

JIM MONROE CALLED YOU, DIDN'T HE?

UM--

LOOK, JIM'S A GOOD GUY.

BUT HE'S BEEN KNOWN TO SEE PINK ELEPHANTS,

IF YOU CATCH MY DRIFT.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK REALLY HAPPENED?

NOTHING TO REPORT.

I WAS BELOW DECK SLEEPING. DIDN'T HEAR A THING.

THE GUESTS REPORTED THAT HORNING SLIPPED AND FELL

AND ONE OF THE GUESTS PULLED HIM TO SAFETY. END OF STORY.

SO YOU DON'T THINK THIS HORNING FELLOW DROWNED?

NOT ON SATURDAY NIGHT, HE DIDN'T.

HORNING GAVE THE ORDER TO RETURN TO PORT

ON SUNDAY MORNING.

HE LOADED HIS FISH INTO HIS CAR AND SIGNED THE LOG.

OH, COULD I SEE THAT?

SURE. THIS WAY.

OH, HERE WE ARE.

THANK YOU.

HMM. WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?

OOH, LOOK AT ALL THESE MELVILLE HORNING ENTRIES.

THIS LAST ONE LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT HERE.

YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT.

COULD I SEE YOUR CREW QUARTERS, PLEASE?

THIS WAY.

DOWNSTAIRS.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A BOTTLE,

I ALREADY CHECKED. THERE WASN'T ONE.

NO LITTLE BOTTLES OF WINE?

NOT AS FAR AS I KNOW.

THINK BACK TO SUNDAY MORNING.

DID MR. HORNING SAY ANYTHING TO YOU ABOUT THE INCIDENT

WHEN YOU RETURNED TO PORT?

NO.

HE WAS GONE BEFORE I SECURED THE BOAT TO THE DOCK.

I WASN'T FEELING SO GOOD THAT MORNING EITHER.

DID YOU ACTUALLY SEE, OR HEAR,

OR SPEAK TO MR. HORNING

ANYTIME AFTER YOU TURNED IN

ON SATURDAY NIGHT?

NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT--

NO.

HMM.

HERE'S YOUR PASS.

KIND OF WEIRD TO BE BACK, HUH?

YEAH.

- HI, JIM. - HEY, FRANK.

- WELCOME BACK. - THANKS, MAN.

IF JANE DOE HERE IS RIGHT, WHICH SHE USUALLY IS,

THOSE 4 VICE PRESIDENTS JUST PULLED OFF

A MAJOR STOCK SWINDLE.

JANE DOE?

IS THAT THE CODENAME DARNELL GAVE YOU?

HE THINKS IT'S FUNNY.

I HEARD THAT.

SO, UH, FRANK.

DOES THAT MEAN IF I HELP YOU BREAK THE CASE,

I GET REINSTATED?

I THOUGHT YOU WANTED ME TO HELP YOU PROVE

YOU WEREN'T SEEING THINGS.

YOU DON'T WANNA WORK HERE ANYWAY.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

IF YOU PAN OUT AS AN OUTSIDE CONTRACTOR

ON THIS OPERATION,

I'LL PUT IN A GOOD WORD FOR YOU, HOW'S THAT?

PERFECT. THANKS.

HERE IT IS.

OK. THESE ARE, UH--

HORNING CEREAL'S SENIOR EXECUTIVES.

WHEN HORNING DIED ON SATURDAY NIGHT,

THE ONLY ONE NOT ON THE BOAT WAS STELLA ANDRE

WHO JUST BECAME TEMPORARY CEO.

THE PROBLEM IS--

IS THAT WE DON'T HAVE ANY PROOF

THAT HORNING DIED ON SATURDAY NIGHT.

YEAH. WE NEED TO KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER ANYTHING

AT ALL THAT'S NEW.

WELL, EVERYTHING WAS FINE UP THROUGH DINNER.

THEY COOKED ONE OF THE TUNA THE OLD MAN CAUGHT.

SO HE WAS IN A GOOD MOOD FOR HIM.

THEN HE SCREENED THAT FLAME THROWER OF A DOCUMENTARY.

HE CALLED THEM BACK IN TO THE SALON

ONE AT A TIME TO RIP THEM EACH A NEW ONE.

HE LET ME GO FOR THE NIGHT FIRST.

I GUESS HE DIDN'T WANT AN AUDIENCE.

SHAUNESSY AND DeSTEFANO

WERE OFF BEHIND THE BLEACHERS AS USUAL.

WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE YOU HEARD THE SPLASH?

WELL, I WOKE UP A LITTLE BEFORE MIDNIGHT.

MY HEAD WAS SPLITTING.

SO THEN YOU WENT UP ON DECK

AND YOU SAW HORNING IN THE WATER.

AND THEN YOU SAW THE 4 VICE PRESIDENTS

FISH HIM OUT. NOW DID YOU--

FEEL HIS SKIN AT ALL-- THE TEMPERATURE

OR HIS PULSE-- ANYTHING?

WELL, LIKE I SAID THEY THOUGHT I WAS DRUNK.

THEY WOULDN'T LET ME GET CLOSE ENOUGH.

WELL, JIM, DID YOU EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING

THAT MIGHT HAVE AFFECTED YOU?

WHAT? YOU THINK SOMEONE SPIKED THE PUNCH OR SOMETHING?

I KNOW MOLDY RYE GRAIN HAS BEEN KNOWN TO CAUSE HALLUCINATIONS.

I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT SOME PEOPLE THINK CAUSED THE SALEM WITCH HUNTS.

WELL, MAGGIE MADE ME A BAG LUNCH

AND SOMEONE FROM HORNING'S OFFICE SENT THE CREW COOKIES. YEAH.

DID YOU SEE HORNING DEAD?

HEY, LOOK, WE'RE WASTING TIME, FRANK.

I SAY WE TURN HORNING CEREAL UPSIDE DOWN

AND SHAKE IT UNTIL THE PRIZE FALLS OUT.

WHAT, YOU WANT TO SEARCH THE OFFICES?

- YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT. - BASED ON WHAT?

YOU GOT 4 VICE PRESIDENTS WHO WERE CLOSE ENOUGH TO HORNING

TO KNOW IF HE WAS DEAD OR ALIVE. THEY SAY ALIVE.

- OH, THEY SAY ALIVE-- - THAT'S IT.

BUT WHAT I SAY MEANS NOTHING, IS THAT IT?

THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE SAYING, JIM.

FINE.

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

HEY, JIM.

COME ON, HAVE A LITTLE FAITH.

WE'RE NOT GONNA LET YOU DOWN.

SORRY, CATHY, IT'S...

IT'S...

JUST HARD TO ASK FOR HELP SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW.

YEAH, I KNOW.

LOOK. FRANK AND I WILL GO DOWN

AND INTERVIEW THOSE 4 VICE PRESIDENTS TOMORROW.

I PROMISE YOU.

WELL, THANKS. I APPRECIATE IT.

UH, COULD YOU?

OH, YEAH.

[BEEPING]

[DOOR OPENS]

YOU AND I ARE ON THIS CASE TOGETHER,

NO MATTER WHAT FRANK SAYS, OK?

OK.

SEE YA LATER.

[ELEVATOR DOORS CLOSE]

[FOOTSTEPS]

HEY, DAD. WE WERE WONDERING IF WE COULD--

HEY, NICK, I'VE GOT A RIDDLE FOR YOU.

AT NIGHT THEY COME WITHOUT BEING FETCHED.

BY DAY THEY ARE LOST WITHOUT BEING STOLEN.

MOM DOESN'T LIKE IT WHEN I GIVE YOU THE ANSWERS.

IT WAS WORTH A TRY.

BUT SUSAN AND I WERE WONDERING

IF WE COULD HAVE PERMISSION TO CLEAN OUT THE GARAGE.

[CHUCKLES] FOR A SECOND THERE

I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WANTED TO CLEAN OUT THE GARAGE.

UH-HUH.

WITH YOUR SISTER?

- YES. - ON PURPOSE?

- YES AND YES. - WHAT'S THE CATCH?

NO CATCH.

CAN WE, UH, START NOW?

SURE.

THANKS.

PUSH BROOM'S BEHIND THE LAWN MOWER.

HAVE FUN.

HAVE FUN DOING WHAT?

YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS.

THEY WANNA CLEAN OUT THE GARAGE TOGETHER.

JUST START ROLLING.

IT'S ALREADY 9:00.

WE'RE GONNA BE LATE FOR THE PRESS CONFERENCE.

WELL, SOMEONE HAD TO PICK UP THEIR DRY CLEANING.

I'M SORRY. YOU KNOW I HAVE A LIFE, FRANK.

Woman: THANK YOU, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, FOR COMING.

I APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE.

MELVILLE HORNING'S DEATH IS A SAD LOSS FOR THIS COMPANY

AND FOR ME PERSONALLY.

GOOD MORNING, I'M STELLA ANDRE.

I'M THE TEMPORARY CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

OF HORNING FOODS AND HORNING INTERNATIONAL.

THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO IS COMPOUND TRAGEDY

WITH RUMOR AND INNUENDO,

SO I'VE INVITED THE COUNTY CORONER TO SHARE HIS FINDINGS.

WILL YOU SUCCEED HORNING

AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, MS. ANDRE?

THAT'LL BE UP TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

JUST TO FOLLOW UP. ONE MORE QUESTION.

THAT CHICK IS CHIC.

...OUR MEDIA RELATIONS DEPARTMENT

WILL DO THEIR BEST TO HELP.

THANK YOU AND GOOD DAY.

NOW I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE YOU TO THE COUNTY CORONER.

LET'S NOT MAKE THIS SUCH A BIG PROBLEM

BECAUSE IT ISN'T.

SPEAK FOR YOURSELF.

I AGREE WITH HIM.

WHAT?

MAY I HELP YOU?

OH, I'M FINE, BUT ARE YOU DANIEL VASQUEZ?

YEAH. DO I KNOW YOU?

WHY ARE YOU BARGING IN ON US?

OH, I'M SORRY. IT'S SO RUDE.

I FORGOT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF.

UM, I'M AGENT DOE FROM THE C.S.A.,

AND THIS IS NATIONAL SECURITY BUSINESS...

MS. DeSTEFANO.

YOU KNOW MY NAME.

YES. YES.

AND YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER

AND YOUR GRADE POINT AVERAGE

AND IF I WAS REALLY PRESSED,

I COULD PROBABLY COME UP WITH YOUR MEASUREMENTS.

AND DOUG HERE, DID YOU KNOW

THAT HE WAS ON THE DEAN'S LIST FOR 4 YEARS RUNNING?

VERY IMPRESSIVE,

BUT WHAT DOES ANY OF THIS GOT TO DO WITH THE C.S.A.?

LOOK, WE'RE JUST SALES AND MARKETING PEOPLE.

AHH. WELL, YOU SEE, YOUR COMPANY SELLS AND MARKETS

TAINTED FOOD TO THE THIRD WORLD,

AND THAT AFFECTS NATIONAL SECURITY...

NEGATIVELY.

LISTEN, IF THIS SO-CALLED DUMPING EVEN EXISTED

OUTSIDE THE IMAGINATION OF THAT FILMMAKER,

IT WAS DONE WITHOUT OUR COOPERATION.

WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT.

WELL, HOW ABOUT STOCK FRAUD?

HOW DARE YOU WALK IN HERE

AND THROW WORDS LIKE STOCK FRAUD AROUND.

WELL, HERE'S THE DEAL, DANIEL.

YOU SEE, YOUR BOSS DIED ON MONDAY,

GUARANTEEING THAT YOUR COMPANY'S STOCK PRICES WOULD FALL ON TUESDAY.

YOU KNOW, HOW DID IT HAPPEN

THAT ALL 4 OF YOU SOLD ALL OF YOUR STOCKS

ON MONDAY MORNING?

QUITE SIMPLE.

WE WERE ALL FIRED OVER THE WEEKEND.

WHAT?

YEAH, HORNING WAS CONVINCED

THAT ONE OF US SOLD HIM OUT,

BUT NATURALLY, HE HAD NO PROOF.

BECAUSE NONE OF US DID.

YEAH, SO THE OLD KING CHOCKED US ALL OUT,

WE ALL KNEW ABOUT IT THEN,

BUT IT JUST BECAME PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE THIS MORNING.

IF YOU KNEW ABOUT THAT DOCUMENTARY

AND YOU JUST GOT FIRED,

WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH YOUR STOCK?

HUH.

I'D SELL IT.

GOOD DAY, AGENT DOE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

- YEAH, RIGHT. - TAKE CARE.

HAVE A GREAT DAY.

WELL, HE FIRED THEM, ALL OF THEM.

IT WAS THE LAST THING HE TOLD ME BEFORE HE...

IT WAS THE LAST THING HE TOLD ME.

HUH.

WHEN DID HE FIRE THE VICE PRESIDENT?

WHEN HE WAS ON HIS YACHT.

IT WAS A GAME OF HIS.

MELVILLE WOULD INVITE PEOPLE ON A FISHING TRIP,

AND THE PEOPLE WOULD END UP THE FISH.

HE WASN'T A NICE MAN, YOU KNOW.

WELL, HE NEVER FIRED YOU.

I'M WORTH TWICE WHAT HE PAID ME,

AND HE KNEW IT.

WELL, YOU'RE THE BIG BOSS NOW,

GIVE YOURSELF A RAISE.

OH, I WILL,

AND I'LL WORK 3 TIMES AS HARD.

ANYWAY, THERE'S NOT A PAYCHECK BIG ENOUGH

TO COVER MY RECENT STOCK LOSSES.

I INVEST HEAVILY IN HORNING STOCK.

DON'T YOU FIND IT SUSPICIOUS

THAT 4 VICE PRESIDENTS DUMPED THEIR STOCK

RIGHT BEFORE HORNING DIED?

NO. I'D SELL OUT, TOO

IF I WAS DEEMED GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT

AND SUMMARILY FIRED.

PLEASE, FRANK, SIT.

THANKS.

UM...

YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW ANYTHING

ABOUT THE CHARGES ON THE PRODUCT DUMP?

NO. AND IF I DID, I'D TAKE THE FIFTH

AND INSIST YOU SPEAK TO MY ATTORNEY ABOUT IT.

SO I ASSUME YOU DIDN'T COOPERATE WITH THE FILMMAKER AT ALL?

I LIKE TO TAKE RISKS,

BUT NOT WITH MY CAREER.

WHAT ABOUT YOU, FRANK?

YOU LIKE TO TAKE RISKS?

YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHO THE SOURCE MIGHT BE?

NO.

BUT IF YOU WANT A LIST OF PEOPLE

WHO DIDN'T LIKE MELVILLE,

GET YOURSELF A PHONE BOOK.

HOW ABOUT HIS NAME?

I MEAN, HE MUST HAVE LEFT A CARD HERE

WITH YOU SOMEWHERE, RIGHT?

YES, HE APPROACHED ME.

ROBBIE SOMETHING.

ANYWAY, I TOOK HIS CARD, I TOSSED IT IN THE TRASH. I TOLD HIM--

YOU TOLD HIM THAT YOU DON'T BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS.

EXACTLY.

OH, I'M SO GLAD I CAUGHT YOU.

YOUR SENIOR STAFF JUST TOLD ME THAT, UH,

THEY WERE FIRED BEFORE HORNING DIED.

IS THAT TRUE?

I'M SORRY. MS. ANDRE,

THIS IS MY ASSOCIATE JANE DOE.

IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU.

YES, THE FISHING WEEKENDS WERE NOTORIOUS

FOR STUNTS LIKE THAT.

ANYWAY, I NEED TO GET DOWNSTAIRS TO QUALITY CONTROL.

SOMEONE FOUND A HAIR IN THE FRUITY POPS.

ANYWAY, NICE TO MEET YOU

AND SEE YOU AROUND, FRANK.

SURE.

I THINK SHE LIKES ME.

THAT'S SWEET, FRANK.

INAPPROPRIATE, BUT SWEET.

YOU KNOW THIS SHOOTS A BIG HOLE IN YOUR SCENARIO.

YEP.

ALL 4 VICE PRESIDENTS HAD A GOOD REASON TO SELL OFF THEIR STOCK.

WE DON'T HAVE A CASE.

I THINK JIM WAS WRONG.

JIM WASN'T WRONG.

OHH.

I LIKE THIS GUY.

OH, WAIT. HIDE.

HIDE THIS.

[BRAKES SQUEAK]

DON'T LET DAD SEE IT.

LOOK AT YOU.

HI, DADDY.

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS HOUSE HAD A 2-CAR GARAGE.

BETTER NOT TELL THE BANK,

OR THEY'LL INCREASE OUR MORTGAGE.

NO, THEY CAN'T DO THAT.

WE HAVE A VARIABLE RATE LOAN BASED ON THE LIBOR INDEX.

WOW. YOU'RE REALLY TAKING THIS ECONOMICS CLASS SERIOUSLY.

SERIOUS AS A HEART ATTACK.

I DIDN'T CATCH THAT.

UH, NOTHING.

NEVER MIND.

DO YOU CARE WHAT GOES IN THE TRASH

AND WHAT GOES IN THE GOODWILL?

NO, WHATEVER YOU GUYS WANT.

JUST DON'T TOSS ANY OF MOM'S PUZZLES.

SHE MAY NEED 'EM.

OH, AND TOSS ANY BEER, I MIGHT NEED THAT.

WHEW.

OH, MY GOD.

[CAR HORNS HONKING]

DR. EDELSTEIN?

THEY TOLD ME YOU WERE DOWN HERE.

I'M JANE DOE.

WE GET A LOT OF YOUR RELATIVES.

[CHUCKLES] LOOK, IT'S ABOUT

YOUR AUTOPSY ON MELVILLE HORNING.

I WAS WONDERING IF YOU CHECKED THE POTASSIUM LEVELS

ON THE VITREOUS FLUID TO PINPOINT THE TIME OF DEATH.

ARE YOU THE RECORDS CLERK?

NO.

OH.

NO, ACTUALLY I WORK FOR THE C.S.A.,

AND WE'RE INVESTIGATING MELVILLE HORNING'S DEATH.

HE DROWNED, DIDN'T HE?

I'M SURE WE RELEASED OUR FINDINGS.

I REALLY NEED A RECORDS CLERK.

[STAMMERING]

YOU SEE, I DID READ YOUR REPORT,

AND I KNOW THAT A DEAD BODY COOLS

AT A RATE OF ONE AND A HALF DEGREES PER HOUR.

AND ALSO, FREEZING TEMPERATURES CAN MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT

TO HAVE AN ACCURATE TIME OF DEATH.

COLD ALSO DELAYS RIGOR MORTIS AND DECOMPOSITION.

ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME

HOW TO PERFORM AN AUTOPSY, YOUNG LADY?

NO, DOCTOR.

I CAN SEE THAT YOU'RE OVERWORKED AND UNDERSTAFFED,

BUT I NEED YOU TO LOOK INTO THIS CASE ONE MORE TIME.

ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANNA BE A RECORDS CLERK?

THERE'S PERKS.

REALLY?

NO.

NO PERKS.

THANK YOU, DOCTOR.

BYE.

YEAH.

VASQUEZ, WHAT'S WITH ALL THIS CLANDESTINE STUFF?

WE'VE ALREADY DISCUSSED THIS.

WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT THE C.S.A. AGENT?

IT'S BEING HANDLED, VASQUEZ.

NOTHING'S GONNA JUMP UP AND BITE US

IF WE JUST KEEP OUR MOUTHS SHUT.

KEEP OUR MOUTHS SHUT.

YEAH, AND LET THE C.S.A. RUIN MY LIFE?

I DON'T THINK SO.

YES, DANIEL. COME ON.

WE REALLY SHOULDN'T BE MEETING LIKE THIS.

- [ENGINE STARTS] - JUST CHILL, DANNY BOY.

JEEZ LOUISE.

YOU ABOUT GAVE ME AN ANEURYSM.

YOU KNOW, YOU'RE EASY TO FIND, JIM.

WHAT AN INTERESTING PLACE YOU HAVE.

EH. CAN'T BEAT THE RENT.

HEY, JIM.

WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT?

YOU SEARCH YOUR KIDS' DRAWERS, TOO?

IT WAS RIGHT HERE.

WELL, IT'S SEALED IF YOU DIDN'T NOTICE.

WHAT BUSINESS IS IT OF YOURS, ANYWAY?

PLENTY OF MY BUSINESS. I'M YOUR FRIEND.

FRIENDS DON'T GO SNOOPIN' ON FRIENDS.

UGH.

I HAVE ASKED FOR FAVORS,

I HAVE PUT OUT MARKERS,

I HAVE USED ALL OF MY NONEXISTENT FREE TIME

TO PROVE THAT YOU'RE NOT SEEING THINGS,

AND YOU'RE GONNA THROW IT ALL WAY FOR THAT?

IF I TOLD YOU I WASN'T DRINKING,

IF I LOOKED YOU STRAIGHT IN THE EYE

AND I SWORE, MY HAND TO GOD,

THAT THIS BOTTLE IS NOT MINE,

WOULD YOU TRUST ME?

YES.

READ IT.

"CATHY, I HOPE THIS IS STILL YOUR FAVORITE MERLOT.

"THANKS FOR BELIEVING IN ME.

JIM."

SORRY.

BY THE WAY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

HA.

WORKING ON A CASE, REMEMBER?

WE NEED TO DO SOME SERIOUS SEARCHING,

NONE OF THIS CRAZY STUFF.

NO WAY. NO WAY.

DARNELL WANTS ME OFF THIS CASE.

IF I HELP YOU BREAK INTO HORNING'S OFFICE,

HE'LL KILL ME.

WHAT FRANK DOESN'T KNOW WON'T HURT HIM, OK?

I'VE ALREADY BEEN TO HORNING'S OFFICE.

LET'S HIT HIS BEACH HOUSE. WHAT DO YOU SAY?

HE'S NOT GONNA LIKE IT.

- COME ON. - I DON'T KNOW.

CAN I TAKE THIS?

- IT'S YOURS. - [LAUGHS]

I DON'T DRINK.

- THANKS. - ALL RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, HORNING'S APPEARANCE ON LIVE TELEVISION

ON MONDAY WAS FAKE.

ABSOLUTELY.

AND NOT ONLY THAT,

NO ONE EXCEPT FOR THE 4 VICE PRESIDENTS

ACTUALLY SAW HIM ALIVE ON SUNDAY.

SO HERE'S HOW I SEE IT.

HORNING DID DIE, JUST LIKE YOU THINK,

ON SATURDAY NIGHT.

BUT THE V.P.s REALIZED THEY'D TAKE A HUGE FINANCIAL HIT

WITH THEIR STOCKS,

SO SOMEHOW THEY COVERED UP THE TIME OF DEATH.

I HEAR A BUT.

THE CORONER ABSOLUTELY PLACES THE TIME OF DEATH

LATE MONDAY NIGHT.

AND NOT ONLY THAT, THE 4 V.P.s, THEY SWEAR

THAT THEY WERE FIRED ON THE YACHT.

YEAH, IT WAS GOING AROUND.

SO THEIR STOCK SALE, WHICH IS OUR ONLY EVIDENCE,

COULD BE TOTALLY INNOCENT,

BUT TO ME, I SMELL MURDER.

FRANK DOESN'T THINK WE HAVE A CASE, OF COURSE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

EH, FRANK'S WRONG.

WE GOTTA KEEP SEARCHING...

EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T HAVE A WARRANT.

NEVER STOPPED US BEFORE.

[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

YOU ROBBIE WATERS?

YOU'RE NOT THE SPEEDY MESSENGER SERVICE.

COOL.

HEY, IT'S ABOUT HORNING, ISN'T IT?

YEAH.

WE'RE LOOKING INTO THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF HIS DEATH.

I COULD SURE USE YOUR INPUT.

WHAT'S MY MOTIVATION?

I DON'T KNOW. YOU TELL ME.

WELL, WITH CITIZEN KANE GONE BYE-BYE,

HIS INJUNCTION GOES BYE-BYE.

MY FILM SERIAL KILLER, THAT OPENS TO GREAT FANFARE,

MY REPUTATION IS MADE.

SEE WHAT I MEAN?

NO ONE HAS MORE TO GAIN FROM HIS DEATH THAN ME

EXCEPT HIS KIDS IF HE HAD KIDS,

WHICH HE DOESN'T. SO WHY SHOULD I HELP YOU?

DO YOU KNOW WHAT A BUNCH OF FEDS WITH A SEARCH WARRANT

WOULD DO TO YOUR FILING SYSTEM HERE?

TURN TO YOUR LEFT.

NO, YOUR OTHER LEFT.

WOW. THAT'S WHAT I CALL A PROFILE.

COULD I FOLLOW YOU AROUND WITH A CAMERA SOME DAY,

KIND OF A DAY IN THE CENTRAL SECURITY AGENCY KIND OF A THING?

NO.

OK.

WELL, WHAT DO YOU NEED?

HORNING WAS CONVINCED THAT YOU GOT

YOUR INSIDE INFORMATION FROM ONE OF HIS TOP EXECUTIVES.

WHAT ABOUT THAT? WAS HE RIGHT?

I GOT EVERYTHING FROM ANONYMOUS E-MAILS,

PHOTOS, SPREADSHEETS, FILMS, EVERYTHING.

IT WAS FANTASTIC.

IT WAS LIKE MANNA FROM HEAVEN.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO THE SENDER WAS, RIGHT?

NO.

I THINK HE'S FRENCH.

HE CALLS HIMSELF MONSIEUR LeVILLE.

[CAR DOOR SHUTS]

NICE.

IT'S KINDA LIKE OLD TIMES, YOU KNOW.

HEH HEH HEH. FEELS GOOD.

WHY DON'T YOU DISARM THE SECURITY SYSTEM OVER THERE?

OK.

YOU GET THE NEIGHBOR.

THEY'RE AREN'T ANY DOGS,

BUT I STILL WOULDN'T GO IN.

I'M WITH THE CENTRAL SECURITY AGENCY.

WE'RE INVESTIGATING MR. HORNING'S DEATH.

HORNING HATED HAVING ANYONE IN HIS HOUSE.

HE DID HIS OWN CLEANING JUST SO THE MAID WOULDN'T HAVE TO COME IN.

THEN HIS GARDENER WOULD COME OVER HERE

TO USE MY BATHROOM.

UH, WELL, THANK YOU FOR, UM, THAT.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW MR. HORNING?

- ALIVE, YOU MEAN? - MM-HMM.

THAT WOULD BE SUNDAY, I THINK IT WAS.

HE-- WHEN HE GOT BACK FROM HIS FISHING TRIP.

DID HE SHOW YOU HIS CATCH?

HIM?

[CHUCKLES] NEVER. NO.

HE JUST DROVE THAT GAS GUZZLING SPORT UTE

STRAIGHT INTO HIS GARAGE

AND SHUT THE DOOR. [CAMERA BEEPING]

CAN YOU BE REALLY SURE THAT IT WAS HIM?

WHO ELSE WOULD GO INTO MELVILLE HORNING'S BEDROOM

AND WATCH MELVILLE HORNING'S TV?

OF COURSE IT WAS HIM.

HEH.

C.S.A., YOU SAY.

HEH. MUST BE CASUAL THURSDAY.

WELL, I'LL GET OUT OF YOUR WAY.

UM, HUH.

THANK YOU.

[ALARM BEEPING]

PLACE IS ARMED TO THE GILLS.

- [BEEP] - YEAH.

I JUST DISARMED THE SYSTEM.

ALL THAT C.S.A. TRAINING WASN'T TOTALLY WASTED.

THIS HORNING GUY WAS PRETTY CRAZY.

WE BETTER BE CAREFUL.

SHALL WE?

MINIMALISM.

I COULD DO MINIMALISM IF I DIDN'T HAVE KIDS.

Announcer: SON PLÁTANOS RICOS!

SON PLÁTANOS CON SABOR!

SON PLÁTANOS DELICIOSOS!

LET'S CHECK THE GARAGE.

HI.

THE GARAGE IS EVEN NICE.

IT COULD USE MORE WOOD, ACTUALLY.

[RADIO STATIC]

THIS IS UNIT 846.

WE GOT A POSSIBLE BREAKING AND ENTERING.

NOTHING HERE.

[HINGES CREAK]

HERE EITHER.

OPEN UP!

L.A.P.D.

OH, MAN.

[SIGHS]

JUST LIKE OLD TIMES.

YEP.

COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP.

LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT, HERE WE ARE.

I GOT THE ALARM,

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DISARM THE NEIGHBOR.

SAVE IT FOR YOUR LAWYER.

LOOK, OFFICER,

MR. MONROE AND I ARE ON YOUR SIDE.

UH, WE WORK FOR THE CENTRAL SECURITY AGENCY.

YEAH.

YES. WELL, WE'RE FREELANCE,

WHICH IS WHY DON'T HAVE ANY OFFICIAL IDENTIFICATION.

WE JUST NEED TO MAKE A PHONE CALL.

- JUST GET IN THE CAR. - COME ON, WE'RE C.S.A.

YEAH, YOU'RE C.S.A. AND I'M J. EDGAR HOOVER.

OFFICER, REALLY.

HONESTLY, I AM AGENT JANE DOE.

HAVE A SEAT, JANE.

Jim: DIDN'T BRING YOUR BADGE, RIGHT?

Cathy: WELL, I FORGOT IT.

Jim: DID YOU HAVE TO TELL HIM?

Cathy: YES.

Jim: ALL RIGHT.

- LET'S DO THE DOG BIT. - GOOD IDEA.

BREAKING AND ENTERING IS NOT A GOOD THING.

THERE WAS THIS DOG.

YEAH. YEAH. YOU KNOW ALL THAT WHIMPERING, WHINING.

NOBODY TO FEED IT OR GIVE IT WATER.

COULDN'T LET THE POOR THING SUFFER.

THERE WAS NO DOG.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? THERE WAS A SIGN.

JIM, A SIGN IS NOT A DOG.

IT SAID "BEWARE OF DOG."

THERE WAS NO DOG AND YOU KNOW IT.

OH, SURE. WE KNOW IT NOW.

YEAH.

LOOK, YOU TWO ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE

TO BE INVESTIGATING THIS THING ANYMORE.

NEITHER ARE YOU.

THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT.

ALL RIGHT, WHAT DID YOU GET

FROM THAT FILMMAKER ROBBIE WATERS?

I GOT A BUNCH OF NOTHING,

BUT...

HE GETS ALL OF HIS INFO IN EMAILS FROM A MONSIEUR LeVILLE.

MONSIEUR LeVILLE.

LIKE THAT?

YEAH, THAT'S IT.

THAT'S AN ANAGRAM

FOR MELVILLE.

AS IN MELVILLE HORNING.

WAIT A MINUTE.

WHAT'D YOU GET?

WE DIDN'T GET ANYTHING REALLY.

JUST MAYBE ANOTHER PIECE OF THE PUZZLE.

I'M SORRY, JIM.

HEY, FRANK, CAN YOU-- CAN YOU GIVE HIM A RIDE?

DON'T LOOK AT ME, FRANK.

YOU TRAINED HER.

ALL RIGHT, GET IN.

PERMISSION TO COME ABOARD, SIR.

COME ABOARD, MISS HARBOR PATROL.

WE CAN DISPENSE WITH THE FORMALITIES.

I'M NO LONGER CAPTAIN OF THIS HERE CRAFT.

OH, I'M SORRY.

DID THE NEW C.E.O. LET YOU GO?

THE C.E.O. LET GO OF THE WHOLE BOAT.

IF THERE'S ANYTHING SADDER THAN A MAN WITHOUT A SHIP,

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.

NEVER MIND THAT.

WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

I JUST WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT THIS CATCH COOLER.

FITS UNDER THE DECK SEATING.

IT'S BEAUTIFULLY INSULATED.

YOUR MARLIN WILL LOOK AS PERFECT THE DAY YOU MOUNT HIM

AS THE DAY YOU REELED HIM IN.

SO HOW LONG WOULD IT KEEP FISH FRESH?

PUT SOME ICE AND ROCK SALT IN THERE,

IT'LL KEEP 200 POUNDS OF FISH FRESH 6, 7 DAYS OR MORE.

200 POUNDS OF SOMETHING.

HMM.

THERE WERE NO FISH.

NO FISH?

WHERE?

IN HORNING'S GIANT FREEZER.

IT DIDN'T SMELL LIKE FISH,

AND IT TAKES AGES TO GET THAT SMELL OUT.

AND THAT'S WHEN I FIGURED OUT

HOW THE 4 OF THEM DID IT.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THIS WHOLE CONSPIRACY THING.

OK, LET ME START AT THE BEGINNING.

NOW, IT ALL STARTED JUST LIKE YOU SAID.

IT WAS A TYPICAL CORPORATE RETREAT,

BUT SOMEONE HAD TOLD HORNING

THAT ONE OF THE 4 VICE PRESIDENTS

HAD LEAKED DAMAGING SECRETS

TO THAT FILMMAKER ROBBIE WATERS, RIGHT?

SO AFTER HE SCREENED THE DOCUMENTARY,

HE MADE EACH ONE OF THEM COME INTO THE SALON

AND HE THREATENED THEM,

HOPING THAT SOMEONE WOULD SELL SOMEONE ELSE OUT,

BUT THEY DIDN'T.

SO HE FIRED THEM ALL.

NOW, YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT

BECAUSE HORNING HAD DISMISSED YOU,

SO YOU DID YOUR ROUNDS,

SAW SHAUNESSY AND DeSTEFANO BEHIND THE BLEACHERS,

AND ATE YOUR DINNER THAT YOUR WIFE GAVE YOU,

AND SETTLED IN FOR THE NIGHT.

THEN YOU WOKE UP WITH THAT MYSTERIOUS MIGRAINE HEADACHE.

YOU HEARD SOMETHING.

YOU WENT UP ON DECK, SAW HORNING IN THE WATER,

CALLED FOR HELP--

MAN OVERBOARD!

AND EVEN THOUGH YOU THOUGHT HORNING WAS DEAD,

WHEN THE 4 VICE PRESIDENTS PULLED HIM UP ON DECK,

THEY SAID HE WAS ALIVE.

AND HERE'S THE THING,

YOU WERE RIGHT.

HORNING DID FALL OVERBOARD AND DROWN.

HE WAS MAYBE EVEN MURDERED,

BECAUSE EVERY ONE OF THOSE VICE PRESIDENTS

WANTED HIM DEAD,

BUT NOT YET.

IS HE DEAD?

OH, HE'S DEAD ALL RIGHT.

OH, MY GOD. HE'S DEAD?

WELL, WHAT THE HELL ARE WE GONNA DO NOW?

DON'T WIMP OUT ON US, DOUG.

WIMP OUT? HE'S DEAD.

EVERYBODY JUST CALM DOWN, ALL RIGHT?

WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER AND I MEAN NOW.

ALL RIGHT. I HAVE AN IDEA.

NOW, THEIR PLAN WAS ELEGANTLY SIMPLE.

THEY PUT HORNING'S BODY ON ICE, LITERALLY,

IN THE BOAT'S CATCH COOLER.

AND THEN THE NEXT MORNING,

THEY CUT THE FISHING TRIP SHORT

AND FIRED THE ONLY OUTSIDE WITNESS TO HORNING'S DEATH,

YOU.

THEY KEPT HORNING'S BODY

AT A COMFORTABLE MINUS 15 DEGREES CENTIGRADE,

AND SET ABOUT MAKING IT LOOK LIKE HORNING

WAS ALIVE AND WELL AT HIS BEACH HOUSE.

I KNOW THAT HORNING DIDN'T LET HIS GARDENER IN THE HOUSE,

AND HE ALSO DIDN'T HAVE A MAID BECAUSE HE WAS SO PARANOID,

BUT WHEN I TURNED ON THE TELEVISION SET,

IT WAS ON A SPANISH LANGUAGE STATION.

I THINK IT WAS DeSTEFANO.

WE HAVE A SUSPECT NAMED VASQUEZ.

I THINK IT WAS HIM.

MM-MMM. DeSTEFANO.

I GOT 5 BUCKS ON VASQUEZ.

I THINK IT WAS VASQUEZ.

YOU NEVER LEARN, DO YOU?

[CLICKS TONGUE]

WELL, ANYWAY, ON MONDAY NIGHT,

THEY PUT HORNING IN HIS SWIMMING TRUNKS

AND TOSSED HIM INTO THE OCEAN

TO BE DISCOVERED ON TUESDAY MORNING,

A SEEMINGLY FRESH DROWNING VICTIM.

AFTER THEY SOLD THEIR STOCK.

EXACTLY.

ALL RIGHT. ONE PROBLEM.

CORONER STILL SAYS THAT THE TIME OF DEATH WAS MONDAY NIGHT.

THEN THE CORONER'S WRONG.

I'M GETTING COMFORTABLE HERE.

THAT BOTHERS ME.

YOU WERE RIGHT TO BE SUSPICIOUS.

FURTHER ANALYSIS OF THE HORNING AUTOPSY

REVEALS HEIGHTENED LEVELS OF DEHYDROGENASE.

WHICH MEANS THE BODY COULD HAVE BEEN PACKED IN ICE?

COULD HAVE BEEN AND WAS.

I ALSO FOUND CRYSTALLIZED SODIUM CHLORIDE IN THE EPIDERMIS.

- SALT. - EXACTLY.

BUT AT MUCH HIGHER LEVELS THAN YOU WOULD FIND IN SEAWATER.

SO THE BODY WAS PACKED IN ICE AND ROCK SALT?

YES.

THERE WERE SIGNIFICANT CONTUSIONS, NATURALLY,

FROM THE BODY BEING POUNDED ON THE ROCKS.

- DO YOU WANNA SEE THE PHOTOGRAPHS? - NO.

THERE WAS ONE SIGNIFICANT SKULL LACERATION

THAT WAS DEFINITELY PERIMORTEM.

PRE-DEATH.

SO HE WAS HIT ON THE HEAD

BEFORE HE WENT IN THE WATER?

WHICH MEANS THIS IS NO LONGER A CASE OF STOCK FRAUD.

THIS IS MURDER.

SO YOU GUYS HUNGRY?

YOU WANNA GRAB SOMETHING?

NO, NO, NO. WE'RE GOOD.

- THANK YOU. - THANK YOU.

OK. RAIN CHECK.

SO NOW WE KNOW.

ONE OF THE 4 VICE PRESIDENTS KILLED HORNING.

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M NOT SURE ANY ONE OF THEM HAD THE GUTS TO KILL HIM.

MAYBE. MAYBE NOT.

I WANNA MAKE SURE, THOUGH.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO DOWN TO HORNING

AND TRY TO GET SOME MORE INFO

OUT OF YOUR GIRLFRIEND STELLA ANDRE.

YOU SHOULD USE HER.

YOU ACTUALLY THINK I'D USE A GIRL

TO GET INFORMATION OUT OF HER?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE WELCOME TO THE TEAM BASKET.

OH, I'M HAPPY YOU'RE WITH US, MORRIS.

HOW'S THE NEW C.E.O. DOING?

VERY WELL.

CAN'T BE THAT EASY

WITHOUT HAVING THE VICE PRESIDENTS TO SHARE THE LOAD.

HONESTLY, IT'S MORE EFFICIENT

NOT HAVING MIDDLE MANAGEMENT.

I'M ABOUT TO GO GET A BREATH OF FRESH AIR.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME WITH ME?

YEAH, SURE.

[LAUGHTER]

Stella: THAT IS HORRIBLE.

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THAT.

Frank: NO, I'M SERIOUS.

LOOK, I'M NOT KIDDING.

WHEN YOU WERE IN BULGARIA,

YOU BETTER DO WHAT THE BULGARIANS DO.

BELIEVE ME. I LEARNED THAT THE HARD WAY.

OH, I HAVEN'T LAUGHED THIS MUCH SINCE...

SINCE BEFORE MELVILLE HIRED ME.

YOU KNOW, I NEED TO LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER

INTO YOUR BOSS' DEATH.

REALLY? WHY?

WELL, I'M NOT AT LIBERTY TO SAY.

I'D APPRECIATE FILES ON ALL YOUR FORMER EMPLOYEES,

ESPECIALLY THE CORPORATE VICE PRESIDENTS

IF THAT'S OK.

TOM AND FRANCES AND DANIEL,

HAVE THEY DONE SOMETHING WRONG?

I DON'T KNOW.

OH. I SEE, IT'S ALL BUSINESS.

VERY WELL.

I'LL FAX THE INFORMATION OVER TO YOU RIGHT AWAY.

YOU KNOW, I'M-- I'M-- I'M CURIOUS ABOUT SOMETHING.

EVERYONE THAT KNEW HORNING

ALWAYS CALLED HIM HORNING,

BUT YOU REFER TO HIM AS MELVILLE.

WHY IS THAT?

I'VE ALWAYS CALLED PEOPLE BY THEIR FIRST NAME.

I GUESS...

I'M JUST KINDA LIKE THAT, FRANK.

[TROPICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[HUMMING]

HUH?

WHO IS THIS?

IS THIS GUY FOLLOWING ME? [CELL PHONE RINGS]

[RING]

JEEZ. NOW'S NOT A GOOD TIME.

CATHY HERE.

YOU'LL NEVER GUESS WHAT THE KIDS DID.

I DON'T THINK I WANNA KNOW.

THEY CLEANED OUT THE GARAGE.

UHH. WOW.

WELL, JEEZ, THAT'S GREAT, HONEY,

BUT NOW'S NOT A VERY GOOD TIME.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. I JUST THOUGHT YOU COULD

USE A LITTLE EXCITEMENT IN YOUR DAY.

HEH. BYE.

MORE EXCITEMENT? YEAH, RIGHT.

HUH. HE IS FOLLOWING ME.

CALIFORNIA DRIVERS.

CALL FRANK DARNELL.

CALLING. [TELEPHONE RINGS]

THIS IS FRANK.

HEY, FRANK. I'M BEING FOLLOWED.

A SEDAN. LICENSE PLATE 3-A-M-Q-5-8-5.

OK, I'LL RUN IT.

THANKS.

- WHAT DID YOU DO? - I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

WHAT'D YOU GET OUT OF THAT STELLA ANDRE?

NOTHING YET.

DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING MYSELF?

ARE YOU STILL BEING TAILED?

YES.

WHY DON'T YOU TRY LOSING HIM?

OK, I WILL.

[CELL PHONE BEEPS]

I BET YOU I KNOW HOW TO LOSE HIM.

[AIRPLANE APPROACHING]

TAKE IT FOR A SPIN.

ALL RIGHT.

OH!

- HONEY! - SORRY.

FOOT SLIPPED.

GREAT.

AN EMPTY SPACE.

PERFECT.

BINGO.

I LOST HER.

AH, LATER.

AT LEAST MY STUFF SELLS FOR MORE.

HOW MUCH FOR A HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE BALLERINA DOLL

COMPLETE WITH...

ONE PURPLE POINTE SHOE?

[TYPING]

[BEEPING]

OK, HERE WE GO.

SELLS FOR ABOUT 10 BUCKS.

WHAT? PEOPLE PAY FORTUNES FOR THESE THINGS.

I READ ABOUT IT IN FORBES.

I BET A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD LIKE

MY SPACE SHUTTLE PHOTO ALBUM.

IT'S PRETTY HOT RIGHT NOW.

WHY? HAS THERE BEEN SOME SORT OF A NERD BOOM?

I DON'T HAVE TO HELP YOU, YOU KNOW?

I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY.

IT'S JUST--

WE'RE NOT EVEN CLOSE.

EVEN IF WE AUCTIONED OFF ALL THIS STUFF FOR TOP DOLLAR,

WE'D STILL BE 88% SHORT OF OUR GOAL.

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?

YOU THINK MOM WOULD NOTICE IF ONE OF OUR BEDS WAS SUDDENLY GONE?

NICK.

JIM.

JIM.

WHAT'S UP?

- HE WAS MURDERED. - WHAT?

HORNING DIDN'T JUST FALL OVERBOARD AND DROWN.

HE WAS HIT IN THE HEAD FIRST THEN THROWN OVERBOARD.

GET YOUR GUARD GEAR. WE GOTTA GO.

- GO WHERE? - HORNING'S OFFICE.

I KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE.

OK. GIVE ME A SEC. I GOTTA CHANGE.

YOU KNOW THAT WHOLE COVER-UP

WITH THE 4 VICE PRESIDENTS--

PUTTING HIS BODY ON ICE AND SALT

AND MAKING IT LOOK LIKE HE DIED ON MONDAY

INSTEAD OF SATURDAY?

THAT'S A CRIME OF CONVENIENCE.

BUT DRUGGING YOU AND THE CAPTAIN?

THAT'S PREMEDITATED MURDER.

SO YOU THINK I WAS DRUGGED?

I'M SURE OF IT.

THANKS.

CAN'T BELIEVE I LET YOU TALK ME INTO THIS AGAIN.

DON'T WORRY. FRANK'S NOT GONNA FIND OUT.

LET'S TRY THIS.

IT'S CLEAR. COME ON.

- SO YOU UNDERSTAND? - IT'S HORRIBLE.

THEY WON'T LOOK TWICE WHEN I ESCORT YOU IN,

BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO GET CAUGHT IN HORNING'S OFFICE.

THERE'S A SECURITY SWEEP EVERY 2 HOURS.

THE SPY GUNS ARE DISGUISED AS SO MUCH SEXIER IN NOVELS.

CAN YOU PULL IT OFF?

CLEAN ONE ROOM IN 2 HOURS WITH NO TEENAGERS INVOLVED--

I THINK I CAN HANDLE IT.

YOU'LL BE SEARCHED ON THE WAY OUT,

SO DON'T TAKE ANYTHING.

GOT IT.

ELEVATOR'S UP THERE.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

MM-HMM.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

[INDISTINCT]

[MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Guard: JUST DO A CLEAN SWEEP,

THEN YOU'LL CALL, UH...

[GUARD SPEAKING INAUDIBLY]

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF A COINCIDENCE

THAT SHAUNESSY AND DeSTEFANO HAVE THE SAME ADDRESS.

MAYBE THEY ELOPED.

SO NOW THAT WE'RE SURE

THAT ONE OF THE 4 VICE PRESIDENTS MURDERED HORNING,

YOU'RE BRINGING 'EM IN, HUH?

LET'S SEE WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY FIRST.

OH, I'M SURE THEY'LL HAVE A LOT TO SAY.

HERE IT IS.

WELL, THE SALE CAN'T BE DOWN,

SO I'M GONNA HAVE TO GET ALL THE EXPENSES BALANCED...

HELLO.

INTERESTING FINDING YOU BOTH HERE TOGETHER.

MR. DARNELL, MS. DOE.

THERE'S A SIMPLE EXPLANATION.

WHAT WOULD THAT BE?

WE WENT INTO BUSINESS TOGETHER.

OURSELVES-- AS MARKETING CONSULTANTS

TO THE CEREAL INDUSTRY.

FRANCESCA AND I HAVE ALWAYS GOTTEN ON WELL,

SO WE THOUGHT AFTER HORNING'S DEATH

WE WOULD GET TOGETHER, OPEN UP OUR OWN SHOP.

I DON'T THINK SO.

CUSTOM-MADE SIGN,

PRIME REAL ESTATE.

ENGRAVED LETTERING ON YOUR BUSINESS CARDS.

THAT ALL TAKES TIME.

HIS DEATH WAS PRETTY CONVENIENT FOR YOU.

OH, YEAH. YOU COULD SAY HIS BAD LUCK WAS OUR GOOD LUCK.

¿PERSONA DE LA SUERTE?

A PERSON MAKES HIS OWN LUCK?

WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING?

I CAN SAVE YOU A LOT OF TIME.

WE DID IT.

WE'RE GUILTY.

WE GOT TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER EXECS,

WE COVERED UP THE TIME OF THE OLD MAN'S DEATH.

I DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S SUCH A BIG DEAL.

HE WAS ALREADY GONE.

HORNING JUST DIDN'T FALL INTO THE OCEAN.

SOMEONE KNOCKED HIM OUT AND PUSHED HIM OVERBOARD.

HE WAS MURDERED?

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU CAN'T BE THINKING THAT WE HAD ANYTHING

TO DO WITH IT.

YOU BOTH HAD MOTIVE.

WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT.

WE WERE TOGETHER THE WHOLE TIME.

SHE WAS NEVER OUT OF MY SIGHT.

LOOK, YOU'VE ALREADY ADMITTED

TO COVERING UP HIS DEATH.

BUT IT WASN'T MURDER.

THIS IS-- THIS IS A WHOLE OTHER THING.

- I WASN'T-- - SAVE IT.

GUYS...

IT'S OK. IT'S OK, BABY.

I NEED YOU TO STAND UP,

PUT YOUR HANDS UP AGAINST THE WALL.

THEY CAN ALIBI EACH OTHER ALL THEY WANT.

IT'S TAINTED TESTIMONY.

FELONY MURDER-- EVERYBODY TAKES A HIT.

YEAH. WELL, I DON'T THINK THEY DID IT.

SURE, THEY HAD AN ECONOMIC MOTIVE,

BUT SOMETHING ABOUT THIS SAYS CRIME OF PASSION TO ME.

LET'S TRY VASQUEZ.

YOU JUST WANT TO SEE IF HE SPEAKS SPANISH

SO YOU DON'T LOSE YOUR BET.

VASQUEZ WAS THE ONE TAILING YOU YESTERDAY.

THAT'S WEIRD.

WONDER WHY.

DON'T KNOW. MAYBE HE THINKS YOU'RE CUTE.

IT'S THE C.S.A.

NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WANT TO CLEAR UP SOME DETAILS ON YOUR BOSS' DEATH.

WHAT EXACTLY WAS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HORNING?

HONESTLY? I HATED HIM.

HE TREATED US LIKE SERVANTS.

THE MAN WOULD HAVE MEETINGS

WHILE HE WAS IN THE BATHTUB, ALL RIGHT?

IT WAS HUMILIATING.

WHY DIDN'T YOU LEAVE?

DID YOU EVER READ ONE OF HIS EMPLOYEE CONTRACTS?

I WOULD HAVE LOST MY HEALTH BENEFITS,

MY RETIREMENT PLAN.

I THINK HE HAD AN OPTION ON MY FIRSTBORN CHILD.

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU HE WAS MURDERED?

SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE A MOTIVE.

WAIT A MINUTE.

YOU'RE SAYING THAT I KILLED HIM?

I'M THE ONE WHO JUMPED IN AFTER HIM.

THE TWO AREN'T MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE, MR. VASQUEZ.

WELL, THEY ARE IN MY PLANET.

NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED.

NINGUNOS NO TAN BUENOS.

WHAT WAS THAT?

I'M SORRY. I JUST ASSUMED YOU SPOKE SPANISH.

WELL, YOU SHOULDN'T DO THAT

'CAUSE I'M FROM FLORIDA,

AND FLORIDA'S IN THE UNITED STATES,

AND WE SPEAK ENGLISH THERE.

AND I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU PEOPLE ANYMORE.

YOU'RE...MAKING ME ANGRY.

NOT WITHOUT MY LAWYER.

MR. VASQUEZ, THESE GENTLEMEN CAN HELP YOU WITH A LAWYER.

TAKE HIM OUT OF HERE.

HEH HEH.

YEAH, TOUGH GUY.

ALL RIGHT. YEAH.

ALL RIGHT. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF VASQUEZ?

I DON'T THINK HE SPEAKS SPANISH.

THANK YOU, FRANK.

I CAN SEE HIM DOING IT,

BUT I DON'T THINK WE'RE THERE YET.

SOME OF THE PIECES ARE MISSING.

WHO DRUGGED JIM?

WHO SPILLED THE BEANS TO THE FILMMAKER?

ARE THEY EVEN CONNECTED? I DON'T KNOW.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

- HELLO? - YOU'VE GOT MAIL.

YES!

HORNING'S PERSONAL FILES.

I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO READ THEM.

ANYTHING JUMP OUT AT YOU, JIM?

YOU COULD SAY THAT.

GREAT, THANKS.

WHAT?

GOT THE PIECE WE NEED.

CATH, WHY YOU THINK MAYNARD WILL BE HERE?

I DON'T KNOW. JUST A HUNCH.

[DOOR OPENS]

DOUG MAYNARD?

I THOUGHT WE'D FIND YOU HERE.

HEY.

UH,

WHY DON'T YOU, UH, GRAB A BEER?

JOIN THE PARTY.

UH...

WE HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR BOSS' DEATH.

[SIGHS] YOU GUYS, YOU DON'T--

YOU NEVER GIVE UP, HUH?

WELL, THAT'S 'CAUSE WE JUST FOUND OUT

HE WAS MURDERED.

WHAT?

WELL, W-W-WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT?

HIS HEAD WAS BASHED IN.

W--

DO YOU KNOW WHO?

UH, YOU CHECKED OUT THAT, UM,

UH, THE GUY JIM MONROE,

THE, UM-- THE SECURITY GUARD?

I NEVER TRUSTED THAT GUY.

REALLY? HE USED TO BE ONE OF MY OPERATIVES.

YOU KNOW, I'M-- I'M OBVIOUSLY, UH,

YOU KNOW, MORE UPSET AND FREAKED OUT

ABOUT HORNING'S DEATH THAN ANYBODY.

SO, I DON'T REALLY KNOW--

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE I COULD TELL YOU GUYS.

WELL, THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE

SINCE YOU'RE HIS SON.

WHO TOLD YOU THAT?

HE DID.

HE KEPT ALL THE RECORDS FROM YOUR FOSTER HOMES,

YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE,

YOUR REPORT CARDS.

HE MAY NOT HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED YOU AS HIS SON,

BUT HE DID CARE ABOUT YOU.

YEAH. HE CARED ABOUT ME, HUH?

HIS BASTARD SON.

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T THINK YOU ABANDON A CHILD THAT YOU CARE ABOUT.

DO YOU?

YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK YOU HIRE HIM

JUST TO LIE TO HIS FACE FOR 12 YEARS

ONLY TO FIRE ME ALL OVER AGAIN.

NO. DOESN'T FEEL LIKE CARING.

IS THAT WHY YOU KILLED HIM?

DO YOU THINK I COULD DO THAT?

[QUIETLY] YEAH.

YOU ALMOST GOT AWAY WITH IT, TOO.

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST FOR THE MURDER OF MELVILLE HORNING.

I NEVER WANTED ANY OF THIS TO HAPPEN, OK?

I DIDN'T WANT HIM TO DIE.

I JUST WANTED A FATHER, YOU KNOW?

Man on TV: BYE, GUYS!

BUCKLE UP!

[INDISTINCT]

Man on TV: HI, GUYS!

ARE ANY OF YOU IN CHARGE

OF SHIPPING THE ROTTEN FOOD OVERSEAS

TO THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES?

CATHY, WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE?

IT'S OVER.

YEAH, I KNOW, BUT MY BRAIN ITCHES.

YOU KNOW?

THAT FEELING YOU GET IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR BACK,

WHEN YOU'RE JUST NOT GONNA BE SATISFIED UNTIL YOU SCRATCH IT?

YEAH, I HATE THAT.

YEAH, WELL, SOME PIECE OF THIS PUZZLE IS MISSING,

AND I'M JUST NOT GONNA BE SATISFIED UNTIL I FIND IT.

LOOK, WHY DON'T YOU FIND IT TOMORROW?

YOUR HUSBAND'S GONNA HAVE MY HEAD

IF YOU'RE NOT HOME BY DINNERTIME.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU'RE THE BOSS.

YEAH.

ANYBODY HOME?

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING]

Cathy on machine: YOU'VE REACHED THE DAVIS RESIDENCE.

PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE AFTER THE TONE.

CATHY, IT'S FRANK. YOU THERE?

UH, LISTEN. I KNOW WHO THE LEAK WAS.

YOU NEED TO GET BACK TO ME.

[ENGINE STARTS]

[BEEP]

WOMAN, YOU'VE GOT 8 PHONES.

ANSWER ONE OF THEM.

I REMEMBERED SOMETHING. I KNOW WHO DRUGGED ME.

I'LL SPEAK TO HIM THEN.

YES. OK.

HI.

JANE.

YOUR SECRETARY JUST TOLD ME THAT YOU WERE UP HERE.

YOU'RE TAKING A HELICOPTER TO L.A.X.?

UH, I JUST HAD ONE QUESTION.

YOU SET UP HORNING'S FAMILY TRUST, RIGHT?

UM, YOU MUST HAVE KNOWN

THAT MAYNARD WAS HORNING'S BIOLOGICAL SON.

YES, I KNEW.

DID YOU TELL HIM?

MELVILLE DIDN'T WANT DOUGLAS TO KNOW ABOUT IT.

MAYNARD FOUND OUT SOMEHOW.

DID YOU LET IT SLIP?

YOU KNOW WHAT? I'D LIKE TO STAY AND CHAT,

BUT I REALLY DON'T CARE TO,

SO I'M VERY HAPPY YOU'VE COME UP HERE,

BUT I HONESTLY-- I'D LIKE THE CONVERSATION TO STOP NOW.

YOU WERE SEEING HIM, WEREN'T YOU?

DON'T REMIND ME.

SO IT WAS YOU.

[SCOFFS] YOU SEEMED SO INNOCENT

BECAUSE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO DIDN'T SELL OFF YOUR STOCK,

BUT YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE SMART ENOUGH

TO KNOW IT WOULD COME BACK.

WELL, YOU'RE NOT AS PROVINCIAL AS I THOUGHT, JANE.

PLEASE, CONTINUE.

AND THOSE GIFT BASKETS--

DO YOU SEND THOSE INTERESTING COOKIES TO EVERYONE?

[CHUCKLING] OF COURSE NOT.

JUST THE PEONS!

SO YOU DRUGGED THE CAPTAIN AND JIM,

AND THEN YOU CONVINCED YOUR POOR BOYFRIEND

TO BASH HIS OWN FATHER IN THE SKULL

AND THROW HIM OVERBOARD.

WELL, YOU JUST MAKE IT SOUND SO UGLY.

I DON'T THINK YOU COUNTED ON THOSE 4 VICE PRESIDENTS

COVERING IT UP.

NO. I NEVER SAW THAT COMING.

AND THEN, YOU GOT THE MOST INEPT CORONER IN LOS ANGELES

TO-- TO TAKE HORNING'S BODY.

HEH. GENIUS.

POOR MAN. JANE, THANK GOODNESS

HE ONLY WORKS ON DEAD PEOPLE.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE?

YES. YES, THERE IS.

I THINK YOU STARTED

BY GIVING YOUR BOSS' DIRTY SECRETS TO THAT FILMMAKER.

AND THEN, THEN YOU DID THAT INCREDIBLE SWITCHEROO

WITH THE TAPE AND THE FINANCIAL CHANNEL.

I'M SO BAD, AREN'T I?

IT WAS ALL ABOUT MONEY AND POWER, WASN'T IT?

IT USUALLY IS, JANE.

WAIT, STELLA!

YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THIS.

OH, I DON'T?

MELVILLE COULDN'T STOP ME, SO YOU CERTAINLY CAN'T.

YOU SHOULD'VE GONE HOME WHEN YOU HAD A CHANCE, JANE.

HOW COULD YOU BE SURE THAT MAYNARD WOULD KILL HIS OWN FATHER?

BECAUSE I KNEW THEM BOTH SO VERY WELL.

IT WAS JUST LIKE PUTTING A PUZZLE TOGETHER.

DO YOU LIKE PUZZLES, JANE?

THIS IS YOUR LAST ONE.

CATHY, GET DOWN!

UHH! UHH!

UHH.

FRANK, CALL IN THE MEDIVAC.

- NO! - TAKE HER, TAKE HER. - AH!

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

UHH.

OH.

OH, JIM.

- JIM? - AAH!

OH, OH.

JIM? JIM? HEY, HEY.

LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME.

WHERE WERE YOU HIT?

ON MY RIB.

I'M ALL RIGHT.

I WORE MY BODY ARMOR.

I'VE BEEN CUT WORSE SHAVING.

H.Q., I GOT A MAN DOWN. GUNSHOT WOUND.

I NEED AN AMBULANCE ASAP. LET'S MOVE, BOYS.

THAT'S THREE YOU OWE ME, DAVIS.

OH.

[JIM GRUNTS]

THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT THIS GIRL THAT I DIDN'T TRUST.

STELLA HAD THIS HABIT OF CALLING HORNING MELVILLE.

IT ALWAYS MADE ME DOUBT HER.

THEN THE FILMMAKER, HE WAS GETTING EMAILS

FROM, UH, M. LeVILLE.

MELVILLE.

SO IT ALL POINTED TO HER AS THE LEAK.

PLUS SHE'S THE ONE WHO SENT THE GIFT BASKET.

THAT'S THE ONLY THING I ATE THAT COULD'VE BEEN DRUGGED.

WELL, MAYNARD DELIVERED THE BLOW

THAT STELLA SENT.

MURDER BY PROXY.

KIND OF LIKE TEASING A DOG FOR WEEKS

AND THEN GETTING SOMEBODY TO BREAK INTO YOUR HOUSE.

[DOOR SHUTS]

[WHISPERING] Here she comes. Here she comes.

JIM?

HEY, MAGGIE.

ARE YOU OK?

YEAH, I'M FINE, BABY.

I AM SORRY I DIDN'T BELIEVE YOU.

OH, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

WHEN YOU GET ESCORTED TO THE E.R. BY THE C.S.A.,

THEY PATCH YOU UP PRETTY QUICK.

WE NEVER WOULD'VE CAUGHT HER IF HE WASN'T SO STUBBORN.

WELL, I'D LIKE TO THINK OF IT AS PERSISTENT.

DID YOU JUST CONTRADICT A SUPERIOR OFFICER?

DID YOU JUST--

DID YOU JUST SAY WHAT I THOUGHT YOU JUST SAID?

I TOLD YOU I'D PUT IN A GOOD WORD FOR YOU.

OH. HEH.

WELCOME BACK.

OH, MAN. OH!

EASY. TAKE IT-- HA HA.

HA HA HA HA.

OH!

WELCOME HOME.

SOFTY.

HEY.

SORRY I'M LATE. I, UH--

I HAD A REALLY HARD DAY.

LOOK, I NEED TO TALK TO YOU GUYS ABOUT THE GARAGE.

DO YOU TWO HAVE ANYTHING TO TELL US?

ARE YOU PLANNING ON SELLING YOUR PARENTS ON eBAY, TOO?

DON'T BLAME NICK. I MADE HIM DO IT.

I TOOK MONEY OUT OF MY SAVINGS ACCOUNT

TO BUY REAL STOCK INSTEAD OF FANTASY STOCK.

AND MY PORTFOLIO CRASHED,

AND NICK AND I THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING WE COULD POSSIBLY SELL

TO MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE, BUT IT WASN'T ENOUGH,

AND YOU GUYS ARE GONNA FIND OUT

AS SOON AS YOUR BANK STATEMENT COMES,

SO I MIGHT AS WELL TELL YOU.

DOES SHE MEAN THE BANK STATEMENTS WE GET ONLINE?

THE ONES YOU CHECK EVERY DAY

TO GUARD AGAINST IDENTITY THEFT?

- I THINK SO. - YOU KNEW?

MOM, WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING?

'CAUSE WE WANTED TO SEE WHAT YOU TWO WOULD DO.

AND IT WAS A PRETTY SMART SOLUTION, BY THE WAY.

NOT THAT GOOD OF A SOLUTION.

ALL WE GOT WAS 120 BUCKS AND BLISTERS.

BUT WE GOT A NICE, CLEAN, SPACIOUS GARAGE.

OH, YEAH AND BY THE WAY,

UM, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CHECKED,

BUT HORNING STOCK WENT WAY UP.

- YEAH! - YES!

AND OF COURSE,

YOU'RE GROUNDED.

YAY.

COME ON.

OH, MY GOD, IT DID.

WHOA.

YES!

HEY, YOU.

SOMEONE OWES ME THE ANSWER TO A RIDDLE.

AT NIGHT, THEY COME WITHOUT BEING FETCHED.

BY DAY, THEY ARE LOST WITHOUT BEING STOLEN.

- AND THE ANSWER IS-- - UH-HUH?

THE STARS.

OH.

JUST LIKE THE ONES IN YOUR EYES.

I KNEW I COULDN'T TRIP YOU UP.
