Tonight on Africa Tells Me.

You know, when we have children, you're going to be on time. Take them out from

school, take them to the doctor, to the dentist, soccer, gymnastics.

I know,

but sometimes that boutique is like a runaway train.

I thought you started the children issue very nicely.

Yeah, it's a little premature.

Not for me.

I've known you for over two weeks.

I've known you in a hundred different lifetimes.

Well, we must have been Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire.

No, we were probably wrapping bodies in Egypt.

Oh, what a ghastly thought.

Bodies are important to them.

It's a highly thought of position as lowly positions go.

Wow. Speaking of positions, how about we take a seated one? I've been on my seat

all day.

You know, we have options besides sitting.

You are as much a runaway train as that boutique.

And you love it.

I'm afraid I'm starting to.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

So, have your business partners showed up yet?

Let's see, we shot right past sleeping together and food.

You know, I've spent all day with wonderful, fun -loving, and sometimes

the neck tourists.

And you want me to be instantly romantic.

I just, I need a couple minutes to settle in. Your kisses don't seem

Well, because I like it.

But you know, there's a little ground to cover between great kissing and picket

fences. and a visit to the pediatrician.

Are you aware that we currently live on this large round ball beneath this

thing?

We reside in a building that is stuck onto a website.

It seems to me like an opportunity of any kind presents itself.

One should grab hold and hang on.

Well, currently the opportunity you want to grab hold of and hang on to is me.

And I'd like to take it slow.

Will you excuse me for just a minute? I think I see that banker I've been

waiting for.

Sure.

Who else is here with you?

He never did know how to make it easy on himself.

It's hard to be patient when one sees his unborn children in the eyes of the

woman he's with.

Can I see that in a movie or read that in a book?

Beautiful words are beautiful words.

It doesn't matter where they come from.

I agree.

Come on, let's take a stroll on the beach.

Sorry, guys.

Boy, you look beat.

Good morning to you, too.

Nectar of the gods.

Nicole said you would be late.

She did, didn't she?

Well, after watching you and Mr. Import -Export on the beach, I'm surprised you

showed up at all.

Spying on me, are you?

Taking a late night run so I'll be in shape for whatever the Army CIA wants.

You could have called me.

I would have gone with you.

I was working.

On my negotiating skills.

Uh -huh.

Quit your yakking, lady.

Uncle Sam's here.

Good morning, I'm Colonel Miller.

We can skip the introductions. I know who you all are.

How can we help you, Colonel?

Well, we have reason to believe that a small amount of money...

belonging to the United States government is due to show up here any

Mexico.

You want our help, Colonel?

Be straight with us.

The Army's not going to send a CIA colonel anywhere for a small amount.

they told me you folks were good.

The amount is 10 million.

Gold. Gold bars, gold jewelry, CIA gold coins, what?

Not many people know that coins are minted from the CIA.

Maybe that's why they sent you to us.

South African gold coins that belong to the Kuwaiti government.

I thought you said the money belonged to our government.

Well, it does. We reimburse the Kuwaitis.

That's why the gold could only have been taken by U .S. Army personnel.

So you know who took it, you just don't know where it is.

Sergeant Paul Martinez, released from prison a couple of days ago.

He slipped across the border and we brought back.

We are convinced that he and four of the members of the platoon took the gold.

And for some reason, he's the only one that knows where it is.

Where are the other members of the platoon?

One is dead, Ricardo Gonzalez.

The other three remaining ones are here in Mexico. They were under surveillance,

but they slipped through the net.

You got their names?

We did not have that information.

And in five years, none of the gold has turned up?

Right.

So the army figures Paul and his friends are going to have a little reunion.

What do you need from us?

Well, for us to do it, we'd have to notify the Mexican government.

about our purpose, our presence.

And I think the present administration would rather the world did not know that

our soul has stolen the gold and that we reimbursed a wealthy monarchy.

His service records are here.

It only lists Gloria Perez as the beneficiary. There's no address.

And no family that we know of.

I can be reached at this number.

We'll let you know as soon as we find something.

Run our friend here and see what you can find out about him.

What I'm curious about is if the gold is here, how to get here.

I mean, you don't just put 10 million in gold in a duffel bag.

Well, if we figure that out, we'll know where the gold is.

Where will I find you all? Well, I'll be with our good buddy, Captain Sanchez.

Try and see what he knows.

Make some copies of the photo.

I'll go to the airport and check my friends. Maybe they know something.

I have a lunch with Richard.

But before I go, I'll go check the ferry and the bus.

Thank you.

Okay, they're hired.

I think it's very necessary.

There's going to be bodies laying all over this town. I don't want any of them

to be CIA.

Yeah, right.

I hate this place.

Reminds me of a Mexican prison.

It is a Mexican prison.

Yeah, but these people are free to come and go as they please.

Yeah, right.

He was supposed to be on the last bus.

I hate it when you tell me things I already know.

I don't want to spend a lot of time here.

If he's not on the bus from Mazatlan, we'll go.

Could you return the reservation for me?

Room 3, second floor.

I used to run with a very tough crowd that hung out at the Maricopa Bar.

I thought you closed that place down.

Someone of high authority reopened it.

Well... You got the names of any of these friends of his?

I might be able to find some, but it could take a while.

I do remember Gloria Perez.

Gloria Perez?

Yeah.

All right.

Well, is there anything I can do in the meantime?

I mean, to your locator?

Now that you mention it, someone has stolen a very large amount of weapons

the Los Angeles Police Metro Division.

We have reasons to believe that they are headed here.

All right, keep my eyes open.

That's very nice of you. All right, man.

You're going to go back tomorrow and wait for him on your own.

I'm not going back to that damn bus station.

To the most beautiful, sexy woman I've ever known.

To the woman that invades my dreams every night.

Look who we have here.

She's a beauty.

Excuse me one second.

Yeah.

For a moment there, I thought the shooters were trying to kill us.

But Richard said there were a couple of unsavory -looking characters hanging

about. Did you see that?

No, I was too busy trying to stay alive.

Well, for Richard, I think I'd be dead.

Quick thinking for an important sport guy.

Well, he used to be Navy SEAL.

Lucky for you.

May I interrupt?

Do you know who they are?

No, neither man had any identification.

But at this point, we assumed that they just panicked and got in between the

shooter behind you and the other two.

May I talk to you for a minute?

Yesterday.

You were out dancing, weren't you?

Yeah, yesterday afternoon for about half an hour.

And did you notice anything suspicious?

No, why?

A man was killed.

Someone we know?

We don't know yet who he was.

But suddenly there seems to be a lot of people going around with no

identification. Excuse me.

Sure.

What do you think of that?

Do you suppose he's following one of us?

You would think he would have said hello.

I tapped into the federality's fingerprint check.

The two men that were killed in the park were fishermen.

Fishermen?

For their whole lives, and their daddy's lives, and their daddy's before them.

Just in case, you better see if you can find a tie between them and Paul

Martinez, or anybody Martinez may have known.

What are you looking for?

If the gold is in Mexico, like Tommy said, how did it get here?

Okay, I'm gonna go see our friendly colonel.

I don't like his being at the park.

How did he know what happened there?

His army record is cleaner than clean. Nothing but medals and citations.

I know, but I'm starting to get a feeling that there's something he's not

telling us.

Run a military check on Richard Blackley, okay? Isn't that the hunk,

The one and the same.

And keep it to yourself.

Sure. I guess so.

I sure hope there's nothing to it.

Me too.

Stay with him. If they leave, just follow them.

You're spending too much time with that woman.

She could have been killed.

But I wasn't.

Yeah. Thanks for the part.

Those are my old platoon buddies that were shooting at me.

Enjoying the show?

Very much.

So much beauty.

I grew up on a lake in Michigan.

I used to pray for summer when the lake would be surrounded by girls in their

bathing suits.

No, there's no bathing suits there.

Oh, no, just enough.

Would you relax?

Let me tell you how none of the beauty I've seen today compares to yours.

Why don't you tell me why the shooters were shooting at us in the park?

Oh, my.

Serious, aren't we?

For the moment.

I told you they were shooting at whoever the hell the guy was behind us.

Well, it looked to me like they were aiming a little too low and to the left

be shooting at him.

All right, what is it you're not telling me?

What do you mean, what am I not telling you?

Your buyer for a boutique in Mexico.

You can remain calm enough under fire to tell what direction shooters are aiming

in? I'm sorry, that's pretty remarkable.

It looked to me like they were aiming at us.

They were shooting in our direction. Don't you think that maybe they could

clouded your judgment a little?

To tell you the truth, I was scared to death.

So was I.

Well, for somebody who was scared to death, you sure did do a good job of

care of me.

Look, I don't know what's going on here, but when you feel like being an object

of my affection, rather than my interrogator, call me.

I've had enough questions that'll last me a lifetime.

Wait a minute.

Couples need to be able to talk.

Talk. Not give the third degree.

Nice day for a walk in the park.

Didn't seem so for a couple of fellas.

Why were you in the park?

Someone once suggested to me, if I ever came here, to go see the park.

We are working for you.

Let's just say it was reliable.

One of our plants here in Mexico, who is familiar with the details of the gold,

recognized the shooters.

Did they recognize anybody else?

Apparently not.

But we can assume they weren't shooting at pigeons.

Who were the shooters?

Carlos and Ramon.

They were members of the same platoon as Martinez. They were involved in the

robbery of the gold.

My boss felt that it was wise to operate under a need to know.

We need to know everything Who

were the shooting at I don't know

Why don't I believe you

Perhaps you have a suspicious nature

That's what I want to know.

Now does that help?

Tell him where the goddamn goal was before he killed you.

Check in the pocket.

Come on, Paul. It's time.

They don't know we're here.

I'm glad you called.

I'm glad you came.

I didn't feel right that we parted angry.

I didn't feel right that we parted at all.

I have dinner set up for us on the beach.

You make it hard for a girl to keep her balance.

If you ever fall, know that I will always be there to catch you.

I promise.

I like it out here in the palm of Mother Nature's hand.

Hmm. I would have figured you more for the inside of Mother Nature's thigh as a

point of reference.

I thought about it.

There's this poem or story about how God will hold all the children in the palm

of his hand.

Elaine, here with you, I seem to spend a lot of time thinking about children.

I'm sorry. And it's such a beautiful thought.

It's not your fault. You didn't make it beep.

Yeah, but I do have to go.

Why?

Well, we're having trouble with a shipment.

I guess I can't get it off the ship or something, and the ship sails in an

And just when I was feeling like we were going to start having a family.

You're impossible.

I'll call you as soon as I'm done, okay?

That's a strange, strange fatigue.

It appears there will be more gold to share.

Yeah, it looks like someone tried to beat the information out of them.

Question is, did they get what they were looking for?

If they didn't, maybe your gold is going to be a source of a treasure story told

for many generations.

Yeah, well, it's not our gold.

Not yet.

What do you mean you lost them?

What the hell do you think I mean? It was a small hotel.

It's still a small hotel.

Look, they must have got out the back, outside or the side or something. I

know. We've got to find him. I know that.

He's got a girl in silhouette. Start there.

How far do I go with her?

She's probably the key to Carlos and Ramon, who now may be the key to the

You figure it out.

Now, does somebody have to go see?

Excuse me.

Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you.

Um, Joanna.

I'm looking for Kat.

Oh, she's not here.

Could you tell me where she is?

Um, she and Nicole are... She took a drive.

Somewhere in particular or just a drive?

Um...

They had to pick up baskets from a weaver outside of town.

Did y 'all get that shipment straightened out last night?

What shipment?

The one that was on the ship that was going to set sail or something like

No, we didn't get it.

We couldn't get the paperwork straightened out in time.

What a shame.

You tell Kat I came by.

Hey, you want a piece of this place?

I just like having my meetings where I don't have to worry about being

overheard.

I don't know where you've been, Colonel, sir, but this is the 90s.

Well, I don't believe anyone in this little band of merry men has the

that's sophisticated.

I don't know. Maybe your bosses are spying on you.

They have no reason to.

Look, apparently you've got guys in the streets, and I don't like not knowing

who they are. It wouldn't make any difference. Besides, they know who you

Well, I don't know. It just might help me from killing one of them by mistake.

That's the chances they take.

I'm starting to dislike you more as I get to know you.

Well, our dislike for each other doesn't mean we can't work together.

Well, then help us out a little bit here, huh?

Before I suggest to the girls we drop out of this thing, how did you know

the shooting?

I had a tail put on the shooter from the park, but we've since lost him. They

followed him back to the hotel, and Paul was already dead.

What, this is that Carlos and Ramon?

One and the same.

You said Paul was already dead.

Someone else killed him.

I don't know. You don't look too happy about it.

I think Paul was the only one who knew where the gold is.

Okay, so what happened?

Everybody left looking for the gold. Did they kill each other off?

Possibly.

It's me.

What have you got?

I am having real trouble pulling together Richard Blakely's past.

I have bits and pieces, but his military records are hiding somewhere in

cyberspace. What have you got so far?

Nothing of any interest, except that at one point he left the Navy.

He was a SEAL, and then he transferred to the Army and went to work as a prison

guard. And I can't find anything on his import -export business Kat was talking

about.

Let me know when you have something of interest.

Well, and tell Kat he was by the boutique about half an hour ago looking

her.

Thanks. I'll tell her.

What was all that about?

Not much.

Joanna, I cannot tell her for sure if a fisherman could have been involved with

Martinez. Oh, and Richard stopped by the boutique looking for you.

I wonder why.

He wants you to be his wife and bear his children.

Why shouldn't he look for you?

Because I told him I would call him when I was through.

Maybe he doesn't like your suspicious behavior and he's checking up on you.

And you think I ought to check up on him?

Well, now that you caught me trying to be clever, yes, something like that.

Look, I know we're at the same bar as that guy who was killed. And it looked

me like they were shooting at us in the park.

But I... You happen to be a good judge of who's shooting at who.

What I was trying to say is sometimes things aren't as they appear.

I mean, remember when you were in the vicinity of two bombings in one week?

It was just a thought.

Yeah. Look, I know you genuinely care, but I can take care of myself.

Once in a while, we might need help.

You'll be the first one I come to.

Okay.

So who knows where the money is?

You know, for a woman running a boutique, you spend very little time at

boutique.

Well, a lot of what I do is to make sure we have great things to sell in the

boutique.

I don't see that place being able to support the four of you.

Where do you think we get all our money?

I don't know. Maybe you launder money from some drug lord.

You know, you have an awfully suspicious mind for an importer -exporter.

We always have suspicious minds. We're one step removed from being smugglers.

Maybe you're not one step removed. I mean, trouble seems to follow you.

The shooting at the park? The man being murdered outside the bar?

Oh, you're good.

I make observations about your work and you turn on me.

I'm not turning on you.

I just have questions.

And there can only be too many questions when somebody stops answering.

You're right.

Well, look, I've got some good news and I've got some bad news.

The good news is my business deal here is close.

Very close.

Bad news is, I've got to meet with some people in about half an hour.

Well, that's great.

I'm happy for you. For us?

Yeah.

I think it's a waste of time.

Don't think.

Just listen to him.

These are the two guys at Gloria's apartment.

How is she?

Oh, concussion, stitches.

She'll be fine.

Why do I get the feeling we're sitting on top of a time bomb?

Gloria told me that Paul had a good friend.

Who, if he confided in anybody, would be this guy Benjamin at the Maracaibo bar?

Why don't you and Cat see what you can find out, and I'll be a backup.

Our Cat should be here any minute.

She was with Richard at the beach cafe.

What, do you think he's Mr. Right?

You guys checked up on him.

You two should be ashamed.

So, uh, what'd you find out?

He wouldn't give us anything.

In fact, Nicole gets her best stuff and he told her that in a couple of days he

could buy a hundred like her.

Go inside.

Ricardo Gonzalez is a U .S. citizen.

He got a citizenship by serving in the army, but he wasn't with Paul.

Oh, he was killed in Kuwait.

What'd they do with the body? They sent it back to the States.

No, wait a minute.

There's documentation for the body to enter Mexico.

He's buried here.

In the big cemetery across town.

There was a heavy casket.

Lined in gold.

I feel sorry for the family.

There probably wasn't any room for the body.

But I've got to admit, it's a pretty smart way to ship the gold and hide it

until you're ready to get it.

I'm ready to get it.

Wait the time, huh?

Hey, here they are.

Raymond and Carl.

All right, spread out.

I'll follow you to the grave.

It has to be those two neck kisses.

I just couldn't shoot anything as pretty as you.

That's good.

It could all be ours.

I need for the father of my children to have honor.

Don't you dare die on me.

I can save you a limousine ride.

Cell phone ambulance?

Boy, is that divine intervention or what?

I don't understand.

This gun is from the Los Angeles police meth room.

For crowd control.

Fire, stand back.

Stand back.

Stand back?

They hurt like hell and they knocked you down.

Yeah, but at least another dead person you thought you'd be.

Yeah. Oh, boy, you're right.

thanking us for sharing the reward with her.

Well, the reward was not enough for the colonel.

He was ready to throw in the old courier for the gold.

Now we get to spend it in prison.

That's a dead hot field.

Bright, good -looking.

I'm impressed you didn't just fly away with him on the beach.

I thought about it.

Hey, I was so easily fooled.

But when you get in close and those hormones start going, I was like

It doesn't stop with her.

No. At least you kept your head.

Big deal.

Hey.

It's for you.

What? There's a brand new international dating service here in town.

Yeah, we had, well, Joanna feed him some of your vitals, and, well, he's your

first match.

Go get him, Ted.
