THEME SONG: I feel a beaton the street tonight.

The lights are bright andit feels all right tonight.

It's a hot summer night
and I'm ready tonight.

It's a hot summer night
and it feels so right.

It's a hot summer night
and I'm ready tonight.

It's a hot summer night
and it feels so right.

It's a hot summer night
and I'm ready tonight.

It's a hot summer night
and it feels so right.

Hot! [ECHOING] Hot.

Hot.

I hear you're quite
a skier, Booker.

Well, I don't
like to brag, but--

How would you like to spendsome time up at Whistler, hmm?

You're kidding?

Vacation time, I mean--

I'm not talking
about vacation,

I'm talking about work.

Oh.

Sure.

There's been a seriesof residential burglaries

at the resort, mostly jewelry.

Police suspect a cat burglar.

BOOKER: Couldn't pick
a better place to take

it to the rich and famous.

Yeah, well, he's
doing it to us too.

You see, Toshima owns Whistler.

They own a mountain?

I thought only God
could own a mountain.

We got a good deal.

So I've been paying forlift tickets all this time?

Here, take as
many as you want.

Now the police have
a prime suspect--

uh, David Saxton.

He's a ski instructor forthose who can pay for the best.

He also did some time forburglary, seven years ago.

I'll buddy up to him, seeif I can catch him in the act.

Good.

And while you're upthere, I want you to keep

an eye on the Bennett's too.

Sam Bennett recently
bought his wife

a seven carat diamond thatwe've insured for a quarter

of a million dollars.

Nice target.

Why don't they just
put it in a vault?

Yeah, that was my suggestion.

His response was, ifyou've got it, flaunt it.

And he wasn't
interested in any visits

from Toshima's security either.

You know, Chick, I haven'tbeen skiing in a while and--

well, my equipment is
kind of old, you know?

You can charge anything toToshima at the village stores,

you have a suite at the lodge,and here's some spending money.

Booker?

Yeah?

I trust I won't have
to worry about any abuse

of these privileges.

No.

[music playing]

[call bell ringing]

I'm really sorry
for your delay.

Oh, I'll have someone takeup those things to your room,

just as soon as it's ready.Is that OK?

Yeah, it's great.
Great.

Thanks.

[phone rings]

Mountain Shadow
Inn, good afternoon.

Love ya.

Just a minute, please.

[music playing]

[guests laughing and talking]

BOOKER: Excuse me,
you're David Saxton?

Who wants to know?

Dennis Cook.

I'm looking for a job.

What makes you
think I can help?

My friends in Vail saidyou're the one to talk to.

They say you're kind of
a legend around here.

Can I buy you a drink?

[laughs] No thanks,
I don't drink or smoke.

In my line of work,
I need a clear head.

These are for somebody else.

Yeah.

You want to join us?

Yeah.

Hey Bobby, my
new friends buying.

[laughter]

Michelle and Peter
Larkin, Dennis Cook.

- A pleasure.
- Nice to meet you.

- He just got in--
- Hi.

- --from Vail.
- Oh!

Claims I'm a legend there.

So you're just hear
for the skiing, Dennis?

Actually, no.

I came up here to teach.

Oh, so you figured
you'd come and study

at the feet of the master?

Yeah, something like that.

You'll have to excuse
my niece, Mr. Cook.

She's very protective
of the men in her life.

Lucky for them.

Mitch!

Hi, Peter.

- Hey, how are you?
- Hi.

Michelle, hi there.

This is Dennis
Cook, Mitch Taylor.

How you doin'?

Nice to meet you.

So how'd it go
out there today?

Uh, much better, coach.

Well, just remember tokeep shifting your weight,

and one of these days you'll beable to keep up with your wife.

- [scoffs] Don't I wish.
- She get in yet?

I'm picking her
up this afternoon.

As a matter of fact,
she wants to book

some time with you tomorrow.

Jeez, I'm really
tight tomorrow.

I'll fit her in,
don't worry about it.

MITCH: Thanks.

I gotta go.
Nice meeting you.

BOOKER: Pleasure.

All right.

Actually, we
should be going too.

My niece insists that
I take an afternoon nap.

It's a little embarrassing,but there's not

too much I can do
about it, since she

happens to be at the controls.

Yes, if my uncle
had his way here,

he'd have this chair
out on the slopes.

You ready?

Don't you guys get any trouble.

[smooch] See you later.

See you later.

BOOKER: Nice meeting you both.

Bye.

She's something, isn't she?

Yeah, she is.

You two serious?

So, um-- you recognizedMitch Taylor, that's good.

Well, that's what it's
all about, isn't it?

There are five guys
in here right now

that are worth even
more than he is.

This place is a goldmine.

Lessons, man.

They all want lessons.

So are you staying here?

Yeah.

That's pretty high
rent for someone who

doesn't even have a job yet.

Well, I scammed it.

You know, I figured
by the time the bill

comes in I'll either have ajob or I'll be long, long gone.

I like your attitude.

Meet me at the gondola
tomorrow at 9:00.

I'm going to ski
the elevator shaft.

Bring bandages.

The elevator shaft.

[phone ringing]

[click]

[sighs] Yeah.

Dennis?

It's Alicia.

There was another
burglary last night.

[sighs] Um, who was hit?

Mitch Taylor.

The Mitch Taylor.

Do you know anything about it?

Yeah, I think I do.

Listen, I'm gonna
need some backup.

I can't keep a tail on
David Saxton 24 hours

a day by myself.

I could, uh, come up--

maybe supervise.

Yeah, and ski and have a fewdinners on the company, right.

[snickers]

Yeah.

I'll call you if
I need anything.

All right?

Bye, Dennis.

Bye.

[phone receiver hangs up]

DAVID: Right on the
nose, that's good.

Clients are going
to pay $75 an hour

and they want the whole hour.

$75, huh?

Good enough.

[wind blowing]

Hear about your friend?

Who?

Mitch Taylor's place gotbroken into last night.

How'd you hear about that?

Well, the whole village knows.

I hear it was a major score.

I don't know, I heard there's alot of burglaries this season.

You hear a lot, don't you?

I-- I got ears.

The black diamond, OK?

Is that the toughest you got?

Unless you want to
cross the boundary line.

As long as there's snow.

[music playing]

[skis whooshing]

BOOKER: [YELLS] Whoa-oh-oh!

[music playing]

[YELLING] David!

David!

[grunts] [pants] David!

David!

[music playing]

BOOKER: [coughs]

You OK?

Yeah.

I never would have comeback, if I hadn't heard people

yelling at the other run.

It's a piece of cake
the rest of the way.

[music playing]

[music playing]

[lodge guests socializing]

Hey, rounder man.

How you doin'?

[sighs] Hanging in there--

ready to go again.

You don't have to try andconvince me who you are.

I know who you are.

Yeah, who?

You're me 10 years ago--

a hot dog with the
world on a string.

Just trying to get a
piece of the good life.

Yeah, well, sometimes
a good life comes

with a pretty high price tag.

Bye, David.

Hello.

Goodbye.

Old flame?

Used to give her lessons--

now she's getting married.

Pretty soon I'll be
teaching her kids.

What's wrong with that?

The more times you
get passed, the more you

realize you're standing still.

Eventually, you gotta
do something about it.

Yeah, like what?

[sighs] Did you really comehere to be a ski instructor?

Why else would I be here?

Could be a lot ofreasons, don't you think?

If you really want
to make it, if you

really want to use what yougot, I got an offer for you.

I'm listening.

I'm king of the hill, Dennis.

I know all the right parties,all the right people.

So why you handing
over your crown?

Let's just say-- if everythingworks out as planned--

I'm going to be checking outof Whistler, leaving nothing

but my reputation behind.

Well, yourreputation's worth a lot.

I know.

It's the only thing I haveto show for the last 15

years of my life.

I'd like to think I'm goingto leave it in good hands.

Well, they got a
good ski school here.

Yeah, it's a great ski school.

Uh, listen, I'll set you up.

You could give some lessons thisafternoon, see what you think.

OK.

Meantime, you can get toknow this babe behind you

over there.

She's been staring at youever since she came in.

Do you know my friend Dennis.

No, but I'd love to meet him.

Well, like I
said, I should go.

See you around, kid.

See you, David.

Hi!

Hi!

What are you doing here?

Alicia called your office.

She told me to arrange
some backup for you.

So I thought, hey I'm
not doing anything.

I haven't been
skiing for a while.

So you intercepted the call.

Dennis, come on
let me stay, please?

Please, please let me stay?

I'll be your best friend.

I'll watch your skis.

I'll carry your boots.
- OK.

OK.
You can stay.

Yes!

I gotta find a room
for you someplace.

Got one.

Here?

Corporate charge.

You can't do that.

I can't if my boss
signs my expense report.

[sighs] I want you to keeptrack of David, all right?

See where he goes.

See who he sees.

But don't let him see you.

See him.

See what he sees.

Don't let him see me.

Gotcha.

It's a piece of cake, man.

I watch Ken, you
watch the Barbies.

See you on the slopes.

OK guys, just follow
the leader, all right?

1, 2, 3, go!

All right, just stay
relaxed, knees bent,

just do it like I'm doing.

[thud]

Head up.

Knees-- bent.

[music playing]

[slurping]

[sighs] Ah, nice.

Hi!

Hi.

Pretend we're flirting.

[smooch] Buy me a drink.

So what'd you find out today?

David went all the
way back into town.

He went to every jewelry
store within a 50

mile radius-- brokers.

This man has got
diamonds on the brain.

Yeah, he's probably
looking for a fence.

I think he's using theLarkin's to find his marks.

Sure got Michelle snowed.

Afternoon.

Hi.

Uh, Dennis, this
is Martha Bennett.

How you doin', Martha?

Dennis wants to
be a ski instructor.

Funny, I've been telling myhusband how rusty I'm getting.

Another bridge.

Uh-- can you excuse, uh,David and I for a second?

We got a little
business to discuss.

So how'd your lessons go?

I'm not sure, the last onewasn't quite what I expected.

[laughs]

What are you saying, youdon't even work for the school?

I work for myself.

The people I teach, they
want to learn from best.

Why should I split 60%-
40% with the resort?

Isn't that illegal?

Everybody loves an outlaw.

Come on, you're telling meyou like wearing this thing?

Yeah, maybe you're right.

Hey, I take someone up.

I give him a few
pointers, they pay me.

Is that a lesson
or is that a favor?

Sounds like a scam.

You should know, huh?

[CHUCKLING] Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

Bottom line is you getpaid for what you like to do.

You can't tell me you
don't relate to that.

You remember the first
time you went skiing?

I do.

I was six years
old on a hill, out

behind the elementary school.

Did the drop, couldn't havebeen more than 50 feet.

I can still feel
the wind in my face.

Man, I though I was flying.

Remember those
feelings, don't you?

Well, I wasn't
exactly on skis.

- Set.
- Set.

Go!

Go!

[music playing]

MICHELLE: Oh.

[laughs] You guys, be careful.

[laughs] Oh, jeez.

BOOKER: [laughs] Yeah!

OK, so tell me how
long is this macho

thing going to go on for?

DAVID: [laughs] Oh!

MICHELLE: [gasps]

[lodge guests socializing]

Hey.

How 'bout some company?

Oh, Dennis.

I'd love it.

Sit, please.
- Thank-- thanks.

Can I get you anything?

No, I'm fine.

I'm fine.

I, uh, insisted that the kidsgo out by themselves tonight.

Oh, yeah?

Well, Michelle and Davidsure seem to like each other.

Mm-hmm.

How long have they
known one another?

Just the few months
that we've been here.

How well you know David?

Well enough to know thathe makes Michelle happy.

And that's the
important now, isn't it?

Yeah.

Why you ask?

I'm just trying to figureout how this place works--

you know-- between
the people who

have money and between thepeople who don't have money.

[laughs]

The easiest way to find
out is to ask questions.

The problem is that word almostalways gets back to the person

you're asking about.

Hmm.

MICHELLE: You ski, stud?

[music playing]

[door latch opening]

[gun firing]

[gun firing]

It's easy.

All you have to do is leanin the opposite direction

from where you want to
go, and you're there.

Well, it's what's between hereand there that's bothering me.

[laughs] Come
on, give it a try.

Aight.

- Oh, this is it--
- No.

No-no-no-no!- --you're skiing backwards.

This is.

Eh!

[huffs]

Where have you been?

I was waiting for you.

You were supposed to givehim my lesson, remember?

We talked about this at lengthin the hot tub last night.

Yeah, well, it looks likeyou started without me.

I'd say it was the
other way around.

Oh, is that a new parka?

Yeah, mine was stolenfrom the lodge last night.

You gotta keep your eyeon everything around here.

Yeah, I know.

So you want me to hang aroundfor a while or something?

You know, there- there's stilla few tricks I can teach her.

No, I think I've
seen enough tricks.

All right, catch
you at the lodge.

Wonder what else he
knows how to teach.

Tell me everything hedid last night, everything.

He and Michelle, theywent and they had dinner.

They had some
cocktails, no big deal.

Then they went
over to his house--

at about 11:00.

Why?

What's up?

Well, someone tried to killme around 12:30 last night.

Oh, man.

What, Suzanne, what?

I just want to know if he wasin for the night, that's it.

All right, I watched
him until like 11:30.

And then?

Then I sort of fell asleep.

I'm sorry, Dennis.

I'm really sorry.

It's OK.

Listen, I want you to
do something for me.

Anything, I will
do anything you want.

I will wax your car.

I'll put them snow chain
things on the tires.

I'll drive to Kathmandu.

I'll--

[grunts] I want you
go back to Toshima.

--no.

Save it, all right?

It's not safe for you up here.

Besides, uh-- I
got a job for you.

[skis breaking to a stop]

Thanks for the lesson, Dennis.

You're welcome.

It was wonderful.

Yeah.

See you at the party tonight?

Sure.

ALICIA: [CALLING OUT] Dennis!

Dennis!

What are you doing here?

There were some
things I thought

I could take care of, I'mgoing to run 'em by Chick.

What's wrong?

Uh, nothing.

Uh-- you're showing a lotof improvement already.

Yeah.
- Really?

Yeah.

A couple more lessons and, uh,you'll be ready for anything.

Well, I'm ready
for anything now.

Yeah, well, uh-- we'll
talk about it later.

All right?
- OK.

- OK.
- Bye.

Bye.

I'm not even gone
yet, and you're

making time with other women.

Not bad.

[laughs] A couple
more weeks here,

and no one will ever
remember my name.

I'm not so sure about that.

What's with you, huh?

You only been here a week, andyou got more women and more

work than you can handle.

You're reading this
town like an open book.

Yeah, well, the problem is I'mnot sure if I liked the story.

Come on.

[music playing]

MUSIC: So can it be the world'sat your feet, and their lining

up outside your door.

No doubt what it's all about,couldn't ask for any more.

Can you win at last?

You tell yourself, when
you turn out the lights.

Devil in disguise.

So keep your back to thewall and get ready to fight.

It's a long way down.

The higher you go,
the further you fall.

It's a long way down.

You better believe it's
a long, long way down.

What do you see when
you look out there?

A lot of trails leading toa lot of different places.

I thought so.

An old instructor brought me uphere the first week I hit town.

I said the same thing you did.

You and I got a lot
in common, Dennis.

Yeah, like what?

Like we both came uphere for the same reasons.

What were your reasons, David?

Huh?

Why did you come up here?

Betrayal, mostly.

You know what it's liketo really trust someone--

really put your
faith in someone--

only to find out they've
been lying to you?

Yeah, I've a--

I've had that experience.

Man, I was just like
you when I came to town.

I thought I had it all.

I thought it had
everything I needed--

fast runs, faster women.

And the knowledge that everyyear the snow would melt

and everybody would go theirseparate ways, before anything

got too serious.

Then one day I
looked in the mirror

and I realized I was
just fooling myself.

Everything, everyone
around me changed,

but I'd stayed the same.

There were choices to bemade, and I hadn't made 'em--

real jobs, ways
of settling down.

You understand, don't you?

Yeah, I think I do.

When I looked out over theview, you know what I saw?

What?

Nothing but trails I'd
already taken leading

the places I'd already been.

I used to see places to go, andsuddenly I couldn't find a way

out of here to save my life.

You still looking
for a way out, David?

No.

Believe it or not,
I think I found one.

Well, tell me about it.

Maybe tonight at the party.

Where is his party anyway?

At Bennett's.

[music playing]

Hello.

Hi.

So this is what Chick
wanted you to do, huh?

Actually, it was my idea.

Let's just say I made
an executive decision.

I just figured the
more eyes the better.

Time to make my move.

[safe ticking]

[music playing]

[combination lock clicking]

[party guests socializing]

[safe latch opening]

Well, I guess you're
the first to know.

About what?

Michelle and I
are getting married.

[sighs] Uh-- you finallyfound your way out, huh?

Yeah.

Thank God.

WOMAN: [screams] When I openedthe door, a guy rushed over

and jumped out the window.

[foot steps]

[music playing]

Hey, how was a
party last night, huh?

Tell me, tell me, tell me.

What'd you wear?
What'd Alicia wear?

Hmm?

How many girls you
get in a hot tub?

What were they wearing?

Suzanne, the
information please.

So yeah, the uncle
in the wheelchair--

the guy that walks aroundin the middle of the night?

Well, you were right.

A man fitting
Larkin's description

is wanted by Interpolfor a string of robberies

in the South of France.

What about here?

SUZANNE [ON PHONE]:
Well, the FBI

has him linked to crimes inHilton Head and Palm Springs.

Any convictions?

SUZANNE [ON PHONE]: Nope.

Never caught him in the act.

Yeah, well, we're justgoing to have to change that.

Uh, Dennis, wait a sec.

There was this
guy who got shot--

he was a, um,
policeman in Paris--

I think that Larkin might havehad something to do with it.

BOOKER [ON PHONE]:
Thanks, Suzanne.

[click] [dial tone]

[whistling wind]

[grunts] You know, I reallyam going to miss this place.

You leavin'?

Yep, next week with Michelle.

[huffs] Is Peter
going with you?

I don't think so.

We're planning
on settling down,

and he said he'd have
a problem doing that.

Look David, uh--

there's something
I gotta tell you.

My name is Dennis Booker, andI'm a private investigator.

Came up here for the
burglaries, didn't ya?

[exhales heavy] Yeah.

You think I'm committing them?

I did at first, but Iknow who the burglar is now.

Yeah?

Who?

Peter Larkin.

He's an old man
in a wheelchair.

The wheelchair's a trick.

The guy's wanted
in two continents.

Peter's been using you
for information, David.

What, you don't
think I would've

noticed, if he had been askingme questions the whole time?

Oh, come on, Dave.

You know everyone around here!

He doesn't have to
ask you questions.

All he has to do
is hang around you.

Look, there's been
five burglaries

in the past two months.

Two the victims
were your students,

and you knew the other three.

You know, the police
were questioning

me a couple of weeks ago.

They said the same thing.

Yeah, uh-- they knew
about your record.

That was 15 years
ago, and I was innocent.

Was that part of a betrayal?

Is that why you
came to Whistler?

There was a girl
I was in love with.

She said some things,
I got blamed for it.

I promised myself thatwould never happen again.

I'm sorry, David.

What do you want me to do?

I want you and Michelle
to get out of here.

What do you think's
going to happen?

Oh, I know what's
going to happen.

Peter Larkin's going to try tosteal the Bennett's diamond.

[thud]

[knocking on door]

Michelle, uh--

I gotta talk to you
about your uncle.

I know you do.

He, um-- he told me
everything last night.

He said that, uh--

that he was a thief.

David, I just-- I
just love him so much.

I-- I know.

I've, um--

I've thought about this
before without admitting

it, for a really long time.

Sometimes he would just dothings that make me suspicious,

but I could never
let myself believe

that he would lie to me.

Did he say why he did it?

He said that he losthis money a long time ago,

and that this was the only wayhe knew how to get it back.

I think we should tell police.

I could never do that.

I mean, I think about
him in jail, that would

just-- that would kill him.

Then we should just go.

And leave him here, what
if something happens?

You mean, he's
still going to try

and steal Bennett's diamond?

He said that he
was doing it for us.

So that we could be happytogether after he's gone.

David, I love you morethan anything in the world.

And I would never letanything come between us.

But if what Peter is
going to do is for us

to be happy together, then I--

I think that we should help him.

[music playing]

[kiss]

[car door closes]

[car engine starts]

He bought it.

Everything's going to
be fine, Peter, [sighs]

[foot step]

[cabinet creaking]

[combination lock clicking]

[combination lock spins]

[car door opens]

You've done well, David.

And now the police can findone very dead cat burglar.

I'm going to miss you, David.

No, I'm going to miss you.

Not even his niece, are you?

No, I'm his partner.

[laughing] Do you two skibums really think you're going

to get away with this?

I'm not a ski bum, Larkin,I'm a private investigator.

Well, I think I want
to speak to my lawyer.

Yeah, I'll bet.

You know, I really loved you.

Well, sorry.

The feelings weren't mutual.

That's OK, wasn't
the first time.

So I hear you found the
rest of the stuff Larkin

stole off the mountain.

Yeah, he had it
stashed in his chalet.

It was quite a hall.

Ugh, Larkin must've spottedyou the minute you hit town.

Yeah, and I was so busy
looking for a way out,

I never saw that he was
looking for a way in.

Ah, don't be so
hard on yourself.

You know?

It's just that sometimes, youknow, you gotta catch yourself.

Stop thinking the wholeworld revolves around you.

Yeah, I know.

So, uh, what are
you going to do now?

I got an offer a whileI go to manage a ski shop.

I think I'll see if I can
still take him up on it.

So you're gonna
leave the mountain?

[sighs] It's time.

You're gonna miss it, huh?

I was going to ask
you the same question.

What do you mean?

I was serious when I said youcould become a legend up here,

man.

You got what it takes.

Uh, I don't know, it's a--

it's a job for a kid, I guess.

Yeah.

I guess I'm
starting to grow up.

Ah.

Just be happy-- you know--with the choices you make, man.

I think I am--

for now.

ALICIA: Are you ready?

Yeah, I uh--

I was talking to David.

Oh have you two met?

Alicia Rudd, Dennis Booker.

I've been giving her lessons.

Hello.

The lights are bright andit feels all right tonight.

It's a hot summer night
and I'm ready tonight.
