could you look at this should you be coming out sun's up i

found a piece of gum under the table Well, for goodness sakes, Cross, a stick

gum is a nickel. Buy it fresh.

Daddy, for the last two weeks in public, you didn't expect me to face a whole

year of school without a vacation, do you?

Well, honey, you could go to your Aunt Mildred's for a week.

Oh, gag me with a spoon.

Oh, Governor, you do have a state of the state address in two weeks. Yeah, but

Kitty's right.

Listen, I've got it. Let's all go to the lumber mill for a working vacation.

Oh, gag me with a spoon.

What about that millionaire's yacht?

Oh, I'd forgotten all about that.

Millionaire's yacht?

Yeah, remember we had James K. Cannon to dinner a while ago?

Yeah, yeah, go on. Well, he offered me the use of his yacht off the California

coast any time we wanted.

Yeah, but did he mean it?

He called up last week to ask when we were coming.

Well, to hurt my ankles, let's go.

We're bringing our own dinghy.

Hey, what happened to my gun?

This is some shit.

Bo, this must have cost Mr. Cannon a pretty penny.

Suppose.

How long have you been first mate?

A while.

Don't talk much, do you?

Boy, he's creepy.

Yeah, sailors get that way when they don't eat enough limes.

I've assigned the cabins. The keys are here on the bulkhead. They're all

labeled. If you need anything, I'll be on the bridge.

Oh, excuse me, Captain.

Where is the kitchen?

On a boat, a kitchen is called a galley.

In a mansion, a kitchen is called no man's land.

Oh, incidentally, I almost forgot to tell you. Mr. Cannon and some friends

be sailing with us. Oh, good. Is he on board now? Not yet. This way, Miss

Krause. I'll show you to the galley.

Mr. Nash, what did you bring those things in here for? Take them below.

Hi. I hate breaking in a new crew.

Daddy, look at all these daggers.

Oh, yes, Mr. Cannon. Collect 16th century pirate weaponry. Oh, I'd have

than a swashbuckler, Jean Lafitte, Captain Kidd, Long John Silver.

Who's your favorite pirate, Vincent? Willie Stargell.

Look, one's missing.

Oh, yes, probably on loan to a museum somewhere.

Cannon Collection's famous worldwide.

I'm going to explore.

Be careful, honey. Okay.

And then I'll rub oil all over you.

Governor Benson, this is my swimsuit.

No, not either.

This is my shirt.

Easy to go through his trousers.

But you heard me. We're going to lose this soon. All right, all right.

Hanson, I am really looking forward to this cruise.

I wonder if we're going to have fish for dinner.

Well, we're in the right neighborhood.

Hanson, look.

Oh, bless my soul, it's a key.

Well, I can look at the name.

Gabrielle Simone, the movie star.

Oh, I loved her in Town of Mutants. Did you see that movie?

No, I must have missed it.

Did you see Radioactive Women?

Gee, I guess I missed that, too.

I'm going to have to break down and get cable TV.

Oh, I've always had such a crush on Gabrielle Simone.

Ahoy there, mateys.

Well, we've all been piped aboard. The gear is stowed below. We should be

casting off with the changing of the tide.

Well, the captain's here. I wonder where Mr. Green Jeans is.

Ah, Governor.

Mr. Cannon.

Oh, please, call me Jimmy.

Oh, thank you, Jimmy.

This is Clayton Mandacocci for staff.

James, how do you do? Benson Dubois, budget director. How do you do, sir?

you for having us aboard.

Yes, well, make yourselves comfortable. I'll see you at dinner. I have to talk

to the captain. We'll shove off as soon as Miss Simone and Mr. Lucas are on

board.

Gabrielle Simone.

I wonder who this guy Lucas is. Who cares?

He's obviously referring to Roy Lucas.

All right, Roy Lucas. He's the one that coaches the basketball team that Cannon

owns. The basketball team is at the tip of the iceberg.

Cannon also owns cattle ranches, real estate racehorses, trucking companies.

It must be very hard to shop for.

All my life, I have dreamed of meeting Gabrielle Simone. I wouldn't dare tell

you the fantasy I've had about this woman.

Really, he finally has a good story and he won't tell us.

Mr. Cannon, what are you doing here?

Looking for you.

Well, you've seen me, so goodbye.

We're games, Mr. Cannon.

After all, what good is all that money if a person doesn't have his health?

told your people they will get their money, and they will. I know. They're

of waiting.

If you don't mind, we're about to sail.

I'm sailing with you.

Just in case you have any ideas about not coming back.

Look, Musker.

I threw you out of my film studio. I can throw you off my yacht.

What are you going to learn, Cannon?

We are a big organization.

You can run, but you can't hide.

Suit yourself.

Oh, I will.

Don't you worry, Mr. Cannon.

I will.

Vincent, you should seize a galley. Put your arms up.

What? What? Don't ask.

I'm Cannon.

You'll learn.

Your lust cheapens our relationship.

I think a toast is in order. To the lovely lady who prepared this evening's

luncheon meal, Miss Gretchen Krause. Thank you. You see, Benson, some people

appreciate my cooking.

Some people didn't have the potatoes.

Come on, Katie.

You're falling asleep. I'll tuck you in. Would you excuse us, please?

Good night, everybody.

Good night.

Sleep well.

What a lovely little girl.

So are you.

Lovely. You're not little by any means.

Good you pass your points.

Sir?

Everybody needs starch.

Would you care for some more wine, sir? Oh, yes.

And a lovely wine it is, Mr. Cannon, unless my palate deceives me. It's a

Chateau Leon 51.

Our host has a taste for the best.

That money can buy.

Except when it comes to basketball players.

Mr. Lucas, you got some wonderful talent there on the Cougars.

Let me tell you something, pal.

What? Those bums shouldn't even be playing junior college ball.

Well, I know sometimes it seems that way. So why don't you just butt out?

Yeah, well, actually, baseball is my game.

I think Clayton's right. This is a terrific wine, Scott.

Thank you, Governor. It's my pride. I have an entire collection of

1945 through 1956.

Of course, the 51 was the hardest to get and the most expensive.

What's so important about 1951? Well, on its own, not much, but it completes my

collection.

Jimmy loves collecting things.

It's his only real passion.

Excuse me, I think I'll take a walk in the night air.

Yeah, it's been a long day.

Maybe I'll turn in early, too.

Why don't we move to the bar and make ourselves more comfortable?

May I offer anyone cigars?

Brandy? No.

Sir,

you're the budget director, eh? That's right.

What's your line?

I run a family business.

That's a good line.

Captain Yost.

Hi, sir.

Could you estimate our time of arrival in Baja?

Yeah, we should be there in about 12 hours.

Sometime late tomorrow morning. Fine. Thank you.

Benson, you said something earlier about the young talent on my basketball team.

Yeah. Give us your expert opinion, Ace.

You misunderstood me. I was talking about the cheerleaders.

Well, Mr. Cannon, rumor has it you're thinking of selling the Cougars.

What'd you say?

We never give a nasty drunk bad news.

Where'd you hear that?

Uh, Benson, weren't you saying?

Mr. Rumor. And what a nasty rumor it is.

I'm shocked to hear him repeat it.

You ever told me anything about selling the team?

Take it easy, Roy. We'll talk about it later.

I don't want to talk about it later. I want to talk about it now.

Well, well, Cannon.

Selling the team.

It should solve a lot of your problems.

Look, Musker, you weren't invited, so shut up.

Welcome to the love boat.

Looks like pleasant conversation has come to an end. I think I'll turn in for

the night. Gentlemen.

Maybe we should all turn in. No, no, please.

Don't let this spoil your fun.

Actually, I'm not having any fun.

I'm sorry, everybody.

If you'll excuse me, I should talk to Mr. Musker. I'll see you all in the

morning. Good night. Oh, Mr.

Musker forgot his glasses.

I'll give them to him.

Thank you. Good night. Good night.

I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Lucas. I was sure you'd know about the sale of the

Lousy rat. I beg your pardon?

I think he means Ken and... Oh, well, that's all right, then.

If I had it all, I could have been one of the best.

Roy, don't do this to yourself.

Look, baby, you got what you wanted. Just stay out of my life.

Well, good night, everyone.

Good night, Neil.

What was that all about?

I don't know, and I don't want to know.

So, now he's going to sell the team.

I guess I can always go back to work for my uncle, killing bugs for a living.

All thanks to Mr.

J .K. Cannon.

Mr. Lucas, I'm sure Mr. Cannon meant no harm.

Are you kidding?

That man doesn't give a damn about anybody.

My life isn't the only one he's ruined. Ask Gabby.

Someday it's all gonna blow up in his face.

I sure hope you're around when it happens.

Yeah.

Well, it has been quite an evening.

Oh, I'll say. You should have seen her in Radioactive Women.

She drove in the dark.

Klaus. Oh, the king. You startled me. Klaus, I need you.

Oh, well, I... You're a millionaire, aren't I? I'm just a

housekeeper. A good housekeeper.

Oh!

Mr. Kenning, you're so impetuous.

It must be the ocean air, the moonlight.

It is very romantic, I will admit.

But what about Gabrielle?

What would she think if she saw me here in your arms in the moonlight with the

knife in your back?

What was horrible? What happened?

Where did he go?

Where did who go?

Mr. Cannon!

I left him lying right there with a knife in his back.

Miss Cross, there's nobody there.

But he was dead. He was dead, Governor. You must believe me. He had a dagger in

his back and it had a skull on it.

Could you guys hold it down out here? You're ruining the atmosphere.

How since Cannon was murdered?

I don't think I know.

I don't think you know either.

Gretchen, that's terrible, you poor thing.

Something wrong, Governor?

Somebody killed Mr. Cannon. What? They stabbed him in the back, and he fell

down, and then they must have thrown his body overboard.

Not overboard.

Nash, bring her about.

Here, you take over the searchlight. The rest of you look around the boat. Be

sure Mr. Cannon is not on board. I'll go to the bridge.

Come, Miss Cross, into the lounge. Pete, you take the porch. I'll take the

store. I'll search below.

Trenton, if you see anything, call her.

Don't worry. If I see a dead body floating out here, you'll hear from me.

It's horrible. It's horrible.

It's all right, Miss Cross.

Did anybody see anything?

No.

The cannon's still on board. He's well hidden.

It's a terrible thing.

Lots and lots of water, no cannon.

Well, I suggest we anchor and maintain our position until daylight.

I'll go radio the authorities.

It seems everything's under control.

Aren't we overlooking something?

Oh, just exactly what would that be? If cannon was stabbed, then somebody on

this boat is a murderer.

No, Katie.

Oh, Miss Cross, I hardly think that's right.

No, no, I mean she's in her room all alone.

Oh,

well, I'd better go too.

Now, perhaps it would be a good idea for a doll to go to our cabin for the

night. I think we'd all be better off right here.

But we can keep an eye on him.

How'd you like to go for a moonlight swim, Musker?

Roy, don't.

Mr. Musker, Roy couldn't have done it.

He was with me.

Don't lie to me, Gabby. I don't need that.

Wait a minute. Maybe she's lying for herself.

All right, all right. Take it easy.

I'm scared, aren't you?

Nah, not really. I'm fine.

Katie's all right. But somebody better talk Pete in.

I'm going to walk Denise down to her cabin.

She's a little jumpy.

I'll walk with you. That's okay. We can handle it by ourselves.

Simone, I'll be happy to escort you. No, no, Governor, let me handle this. You

come along with me, Miss Simone.

I got it, sir.

You really blew it for me.

He may have saved your life.

Do you ever stop to think she might be the murderer?

Gabby?

Oh, don't be silly.

So what's she going to do, lure me to her cabin, smother me in a passionate

embrace, and then kill me?

Possible.

Beats a heart attack on the golf course.

Governor?

Governor? Yes, Captain, it's the Governor.

Somebody sabotaged the radio.

Could you say that again? I couldn't hear you.

Till morning to notify the authorities.

Thank you, Captain.

Some vacation.

Stuck at sea with no radio and a killer somewhere on the boat.

Well, there's one thing, Benson.

The killer can't get away.

Neither can we.

I thought we agreed that we were going to stay in our rooms.

I just came out to see what the noise was.

Oh, what?

You.

I have a little upset stomach, you know, and I thought I'd go up to the lounge

and get some soda water.

You want me to go with you?

No. Oh, no.

No, I'm fine.

Easy.

So, uh, what do you think?

About what?

Who the murderer is. Oh, Governor, I really don't care.

All I'm going to do is get back on land and let the police handle it.

I think it's Lucas. No way, it's Musker. Really?

I think so.

Earlier I heard him and Cannon having an argument.

Apparently Cannon owed him some money.

Lucas was really angry. I think it's him.

You're both wrong.

The captain.

The captain.

I saw this movie once where the chauffeur was the killer.

The captain has the same kind of evil eyes.

Oh, Miss Cross, you can't judge a maniac by appearances.

That's right. Otherwise, they'd have put you away a long time ago.

Fine. Don't believe me.

Well, I'd better go.

So do I.

Okay.

Listen, tell Miss Cross she'll be safer if she stays in her room.

We'll all be safer if she stays in her room.

I hear you.

Good. You saved me the trip.

Governor, what are you doing up here?

Oh, I came down for some gas.

I mean, I teamed up... Yes, well, you know, you shouldn't be roaming around.

I suggest you go back to your cabin and lock yourself in.

Now, wait a minute, wait a minute, Captain. I think I found something.

see the dagger?

Yeah. It wasn't there before.

What? And it exactly matches the description of the dagger Miss Krause

found sticking in Karen's back.

I never heard any description of the knife. Oh, yeah, she said it had a skull

it, just like this.

And it would have been much easier to throw the knife overboard along with

Cameron's body.

Well, if you ask me, the whole thing's a mystery.

You better get back to your cabin.

Oh, I will as soon as I get this bottle open.

Yeah. Good night.

Good night.

Huh?

Who is it?

Next week on Benson.

There's a maniac on board. I see his plan now.

He's going to kill us all off in order of social importance.

Someone

in

this room is a murderer.
