This is my boss,

Jonathan hart, a self-made millionaire.

He's quite a guy.

This is Mrs. H. She's gorgeous.

She's one lady who knows how to take care of herself.

By the way, my name is Max.

I take care of both of them,

which ain't easy, 'cause when they met...

It was murder.

[♪♪]

[Jennifer] It certainly was a good idea I had, wasn't it?

[Jonathan] Your idea?

Uh-huh.

I thought it was my idea.

Was it? I don't remember.

Well, anyway. Someone had a good idea.

[Jennifer] Keep your eye on the road, won't you.

My bathing suit's in the back of the car.

[Engine starts]

[Tires squeal]

That guy must be crazy.

Why don't you let him pass?

I'm trying to.

[Horn blaring]

- [Gasps] - Hang on.

Are you all right?

Fine.

It's a wonderful way to start a vacation.

That guy's a maniac. He could have killed us.

Watch out!

He wasn't kidding.

You're right. He was trying to kill us.

Aloha, Mr. and Mrs. Hart.

Welcome to the Hyatt regency Maui.

Thank you. Thank you.

I must apologize. Your suite is not quite ready yet.

Oh?

The, uh, previous occupants...

Yes?

Honeymooners, you know.

Well, how long do you think they'll be?

Oh, they've left already, Mr. Hart.

It'll take a few minutes to tidy up the suite.

I thought possibly, a drink in the lounge with our compliments?

Oh, yeah. We could use a couple of those,

don't you think, darling?

You go on ahead, darling.

I just thought of something, I have to call Max.

Can't you send him a postcard?

Max is your little boy?

Actually, he's our oldest.

[Chuckles]

Mrs. Hart, the phones are right over here.

Oh, thank you. I won't be a minute.

Hello, operator. This is Mrs. Jonathan hart.

We're just about to check in,

but I'd like to make a long distance call first.

[Phone rings]

Hart residence. [Jennifer on phone] Max?

Hi, Mrs. H. How's the trip?

It's off to a roaring start.

Listen, Max, I forgot to tell you

that the wallpaper hanger's coming today.

[Doorbell rings]

Hold it a second, Mrs. H. The delivery man's at the door.

[Woman] I'll get rid of him somehow.

Then you can come to the room.

I don't care how you kill him.

Put it in his tiger's milk.

That's not a bad idea.

He's always taking those stupid vitamins.

Put it in one of them.

How long will it take to work?

Good.

I intend to leave this hotel a widow.

[Max on phone] Yeah, Mrs. H. What's with the wallpaper guy?

They're going to kill him.

The wallpaper guy?

If he's that bad, I'll get somebody else.

I can't talk to you now, Max. I have to go.

Well, should he hang it or not?

Yes. Yes, hang him. Goodbye.

Darling, you won't believe what I just heard.

This is a business acquaintance of mine, Ken Blake.

This is my wife Jennifer.

How do you do? My wife Dana.

Hi...

Hello.

Exactly what is it you just heard that we wouldn't believe?

What?

Believe?

Our room is ready. [Chuckles nervously]

Oh.

[Sighs] Is that my drink?

Are you okay?

Fine.

We had kind of a close call driving in from the airport.

Some nut tried to run us off the road.

How awful for you.

That stretch from the airport is treacherous.

I just drove it with my secretary.

Which in itself could be a fairly dangerous experience.

[Ken] Forgive my wife's insecurity.

See, Dana used to be my secretary.

I think she's concerned that lightning might strike twice.

It's not every man that brings his secretary along on a vacation.

[Ken] Listen, if I had to stay here a week just relaxing,

I'd go right out of my mind.

[Alarm beeps]

Ah, yes.

Unfortunately...

I'm old enough to be this lady's uncle.

So, I have to keep up somehow. And I do.

Don't I?

It's a protein. It's easier on the liver.

Excuse me. Mr. Blake?

It's time for your conference call to Tokyo.

Right away.

[Ken] Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Hart, my secretary, Faye Roland.

How do you do?

Hello.

Hey, you two. What about dinner tonight?

Aw, gee, Ken, I...

[Ken] I know a place a few miles from here

run by an order of monks.

But the food is great.

Well, thanks a lot, but we just got in...

We'd love to.

I adore religious food.

[Ken] Great.

Work it out.

[Jonathan] Darling, there's really no need to dine with the Blakes.

I don't know Ken that well,

and I'm really not anxious to spend time with a couple

who's actually not a couple.

That's the point.

It is?

Yes. I heard her talking on the telephone...

When I was calling Max, she was talking on the phone.

She's planning to kill him.

Because he brought his secretary on vacation?

No, no!

She was talking to someone else on the phone.

She may have a secretary of her own.

[Manager] Well, here we are, Mr. and Mrs. Hart.

The honeymoon suite.

Thank you very much.

Mahalo.

[Jonathan] Just where and when did you come to all these conclusions?

When I was talking to Max.

I heard her on the other phone.

She's planning to kill her husband.

What exactly did you hear?

They're going to poison him.

Are you sure? I'm positive.

Well, isn't this a lovely room?

They're going to put it in his vitamins.

She said she intends to leave this hotel a widow.

Well, that does it.

I guess we'll have dinner with the monks.

Look.

What did I tell you?

There's Ken.

What are we going to do?

Well, we just can't stand here

or hide in the bushes.

[Laughing]

Why, he doesn't seem very upset, does he?

Shall we?

Hi there. I hope you don't mind,

my son Adam's on vacation from college

and I asked him to come along.

Your son?

Their son.

Actually he's Ken's son from one or another of his previous marriages,

but I adore him anyway.

Adam, these are the harts.

Nice to meet you.

How do you do?

[Adam] Shall we be off?

Darling?

I just realized, we only have a two-seater.

What are you driving?

We're driving one of those.

Isn't that's funny. We both rented the same cars.

We can't take my car. There isn't enough room.

Is that your car?

Yes.

It's okay. I'll, uh, squeeze in with you two.

Just follow us.

Darling, that's the car.

[Jonathan] I know.

The Italian stallion.

Now we know who's riding it.

[Jonathan] Well, that should do it.

And, brother, is there a nice dry chablis you could recommend?

[Adam] They have a vow of silence.

He's suggesting you try the house wine.

They make it themselves. I think you'll find it pleasing.

Oh. Well, could we have two bottles of your most pleasing?

Thank you.

The thing I love about this place

is you don't get any lip from the waiters.

[Chuckling]

Well, what they don't say with words,

they make up for in music.

This is the best lamb I've ever had.

Mmm. Absolutely heavenly.

[All laughing]

You all right, dad?

It's nothing. A little indigestion.

No wonder. Look at what you ate.

You know you're not supposed to eat all that.

Yes, darling. I know.

Imagine that. She wants me to die an old man.

All my millions, and she loves me for myself.

Now, where's my stash? Oh.

Something for everything.

[Ken] There's b12,

good for that slight indigestion.

Jonathan and I started on a vitamin program,

but we just couldn't keep it up.

[Ken] I gotta tell you,

I must take a million of these things a day.

If I don't overdose, I will probably drown.

What would you recommend for an amateur, doctor?

Oh, don't get him started.

Let's see. Vitamin a,

for bouncy, active skin.

And c, well, you can't survive without c.

Ah. What else?

[Ken] Now, let's see...

Ken, you really shouldn't be

foisting this stuff on people.

Come on, Dana, she wants to know.

[Ken] Oh. Vitamin e.

Actually, it's better for Jonathan.

Pick up your night life.

Maybe they don't need their night life picked up.

Well, I guess I won't be needing any of these things tonight.

I assume you'll be having a headache.

As a matter of fact, you are giving me one right now.

What did you say those were?

Vitamin e. My favorites. Good for the heart.

Well, I'm a hart. I'll just have one.

Uh, Ken, I really am tired of all of your games.

And I really do have a terrific headache.

Cancel the e.

I'm not kidding, I...

[Dana] I'd like to go back to the hotel.

Adam can take me.

[Ken] Don't be silly.

I'm sorry.

That's all right. We can drive back.

We've got our own car.

I'm very sorry. It's been a very difficult day.

Can you catch the check, Jonathan?

I'll take care of it. We'll settle up tomorrow.

Good night. Good night.

Good night.

Well...

She certainly didn't want me to have those vitamin e's.

Yeah, I know. She pulled them back like they were poison.

Darling, isn't it a little late for a social call?

Well, we can just say that we were concerned with how she felt.

I thought it was him we were worried about.

We are, we are.

But we can't just go barging in there

and ask him if she's tried to kill him yet.

Jonathan, look.

Looks like the relationship is doing better than we thought.

Oh, hi there.

Please, come in.

We're sorry to barge in on you like this.

We were a little concerned about Dana.

- Yes. - Would you like a drink?

[Jonathan] No, thanks.

We really shouldn't stay.

[Ken] Anyway, Dana's fine.

A slight headache. She sacked out an hour ago.

Oh, good. We're so relieved.

Will that be all, Mr. Blake?

Oh, Faye, you're still here.

You remember my secretary. You met her this afternoon.

Ah...

Good evening.

Hello again.

I think so. We'll pick it up tomorrow.

- Okay. Good night. - [Ken] Good night.

Good night.

Good night.

Well, I think that we'd better get going as well.

Uh, would you mind if I used the ladies' room?

Won't be a minute.

There. All set.

Ken has invited us to go water-skiing tomorrow.

Oh.

What about Dana?

Oh, she'll be tip top.

Eight o'clock too early for you?

Fine.

See you on the beach. [Chuckles]

Thanks for coming by. Bye.

Good night, Ken.

I don't know what she was doing, but I don't like it.

Yes. She took some of the e's.

Oh, you're up.

Uh, yes, and a pot of very strong coffee.

Yes. Thank you.

Good night.

Feeling better?

A little.

Good enough for me to sleep in here tonight?

I'm sorry you feel that way.

You know, in a way, I can't really blame Dana.

Imagine him, fooling around with his secretary

while she's in the next room.

Murder is hardly a solution.

You know, I've been thinking.

We ought to take those vitamin e's

and have them analyzed. Find out what's in them.

Maybe a local hospital can do it.

Mmm. You know, he really does have a heart problem.

I saw some digitalis in his bathroom.

Then I can't figure out why he's going water-skiing tomorrow.

Darling, do you think it's possible

that they could be poisoning his vitamin e?

You remember that movie with Cary Grant?

Suspicion. He kept putting poison in the milk

and Joan fontaine kept getting sicker and sicker.

[Imitating Cary Grant] Yes. But Cary was innocent, don't you remember?

And Joan, Joan was paranoid. She was charming but paranoid.

- Oh, my god! - Jonathan.

Come here, my darling. It's time for your hot milk.

- Don't do that. - Don't do what?

Oh. I love you.

Judy, you can't leave the paper, my darling.

You've got printers' ink in your blood.

- Oh, my god. - Yes. Oh, god.

You water ski Willie?

That's me.

We're with the Blakes.

I think they reserved some water skis for us this morning.

Oh, yeah. But he changed his mind.

Decided on power glides.

What's that?

Over there.

That's Mr. Blake.

[Jennifer] Isn't that beautiful?

Yeah, I'd like to try that when he gets through.

He's really getting up there now.

[Jonathan] He's going down. The chute collapsed.

[Jennifer] No!

Is that your boat?

- Yeah. - Come on.

Hey, hey. Hey!

[Jonathan] Dana!

Is she dead?

Oh, my god.

[Ken] I just can't believe it.

She was so young.

[Sighs]

Dad, it was an accident. You can't blame yourself.

[Ken] I wanted to go up first, but...

But you know Dana, she insisted.

[Stammering] If we had gone

water-skiing like we planned, she'd still be...

Are you all right?

Faye, you'd better get his medication.

What is it?

[Ken] I don't know why it's such a damn secret.

I have a bad pump.

But I'd appreciate it if you didn't pass that along.

Ken, a lot of people have heart trouble.

[Scoffs] They cancelled my insurance after my last attack.

I don't have to tell you, Jonathan,

that it'd be bad for business if people knew that any second...

I could be history.

[Jonathan] I understand.

Excuse me, but I think that Mr. Blake needs some rest.

I think you're right. Darling?

Yes. Well, if you need anything, don't hesitate to call.

Thanks for coming. I'll buzz you later.

- Bye. - Hope you feel better.

I'm going to check out for a while too.

You don't think I overdid it?

Not at all.

You just lost your dearly beloved wife.

Hmm. It would have been more appropriate

if she'd died of a headache.

[Chuckles]

Well, that is one wife

who won't walk away with half my money.

Should have thought of that with some of the others, hmm?

Well, the best part is...

[Giggles]

I don't get headaches.

Oddly enough, I do have a chest ache.

Aw.

You know, those damn digitalis pills aren't doing a thing.

Where the hell are my vitamin e's?

That's what I need. I'm practically out.

Oh. I got some this morning at the pharmacy.

Oh.

I hate all this medicine. It's unnatural.

Cave men didn't need all this garbage.

- Well, cave men... - [Growls]

didn't live long enough to have heart trouble.

[Laughs]

Do you think they got her before she got him?

It certainly looks that way.

Could have been an accident.

It could have.

You know, it's tough to feel sorry for Dana.

Why?

Well, she did want to become a widow.

Sort of leaves her accomplice out in the cold, doesn't it.

Well, one thing's for sure. It puts us out.

It'd be tough to prove she's trying to kill her husband

when she's dead.

Well, here's to the next Mrs. Blake.

May she keep her feet on the ground.

[Jennifer] Come on, it's good.

- Here. Oh, good. - [Bird squawks]

Ken?

Ken, darling, are you asleep?

Well, dear old dad seems peaceful enough.

- Oh, Adam, he's not well. - Really?

- How much has he had? - A lot.

I had to make up a new batch.

The other bottle was practically empty.

Oh! I didn't tell you?

Dana called last night. She saw Jennifer hart take them.

The vitamin e? Why?

Obviously she knows something.

Oh, how could she?

I don't know. We got to get them back.

Oh, Adam. Do we have to go through with this?

If you want out, get out.

I've waited long enough.

What's the rush? You're going to get it all anyway someday.

Someday is today.

I can't afford one more of dad's ex-wives.

Don't worry. You're gonna love being rich.

[Ringing]

Hello?

Oh, hi, Ken. How you feeling?

Yeah, well, of course. Right away.

Who was that?

That was Ken Blake. He thinks someone is trying to kill him.

[Jennifer] Jonathan, who did he say was trying to kill him?

I don't know, but whoever it is

I'm sure it's a member of the family.

Well, he said to meet him across the rope bridge,

by the grotto bar.

Well, there's the grotto bar.

Do you think he'd send us on a wild goose chase?

I don't know,

but he's not here, that's for sure.

Let's go back the way we came.

Looking for me, father?

[Child laughing]

[Woman screams]

One thing's for sure,

this time someone was telling the truth.

[Jonathan] Well, I just talked to the medical examiner.

What did he say?

He said that there's no doubt Ken died of a massive coronary.

He's going to call back in a few minutes

with the analysis of your vitamin e's.

Well, I guess everything's in the hands of the police now.

We've managed to lose both the victim and the killer.

Yeah, but not necessarily in that order.

Which leaves one unemployed secretary.

Faye. But what would she gain with Ken out of the way?

[Phone rings]

Hello?

Faye?

[Faye on phone] I need to speak to you. It's very important.

It's something I found in Mr. Blake's things.

Could you and Mrs. Hart please come by the suite?

Yes, we can be by in about five minutes.

Maybe I should stay here and wait for the call about the pills.

That's a good idea. I won't be long.

They're coming.

Good.

Now, there's nothing to be nervous about.

What if you don't get the vitamins back?

Then you can start getting nervous.

Hi.

Hi.

Uh, what happened to Mrs. Hart?

Oh, she couldn't make it.

What did you find?

Find?

Oh, yes, uh...

- What is this? - [Sighs]

Well, I'm not completely sure.

I did some nursing before I worked for Mr. Blake.

I handled all of his medicine and I've never seen this before.

What do you think it is?

Well, it smells a little like digitalis,

a very potent heart stimulant.

Well, Ken did have a heart problem.

But I also found this syringe.

Are you suggesting that somebody,

maybe Dana, was injecting Ken with that stuff?

[Sighs]

Well, I don't know who else.

Somebody could have been juicing his vitamin e's.

Yes, I suppose Mrs. Blake could have done that, but I...

Mm-hmm. Mrs. Blake could have done that.

And so could you.

Me?

It was your idea, wasn't it?

My idea? No.

Well, you are the medical expert.

Did you offer that suggestion before or after you got involved with Ken Blake?

It wasn't me. Why would I...

- How did you get Adam involved? - I didn't.

It was his idea?

[Sighs]

I told him I didn't want to do it.

I wanted to wait.

Where is Adam?

Where is he?

He went to get the vitamin e back.

[Drawer clatters in next room]

[Gasps]

Uh, I usually go to the pool, but today it was so crowded.

Jennifer?

Jonathan!

Are you all right?

Yeah, but let's get him.

[Tires screeching]

[Jennifer] Jonathan!

Do you know where the guy went who drove that car?

Uh, he went around that way.

Come on.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

The vow of silence.

[Adam] Excuse me.

It's all over, Adam.

Come on. Let's get off of here.

[Screams]

[Thudding]

[Jennifer] Yes, Max, the carmichaels will be coming for brunch.

What?

I don't care if freeway likes the wallpaper or not.

It's not his bathroom.

[Imitating Cary Grant] Yes, she's lovely. She's charming.

But if she doesn't get off that phone in two seconds,

I'm going to wring her lovely little neck.

I have to go, Max. See you soon. Bye-bye.

Yeah, you're charming as well. Goodbye.

Mmm.

If I had known you were going to kiss me in every room,

I'd have bought the hotel. Let's go, red.

The bags are loaded. I wish I was.

Would you stop!

Stop what?

Are you going to do that all the way to the airport?

Do what all the way to the airport?

Jonathan.

[Normal voice] Push the button, will you?

[Elevator dings]

What floor did you park the car?

Press "r."

Roof.

Oh.

Aw.

[Laughs]

I thought you'd prefer the open skies to the open road.

[Jennifer] Darling, there's no other helicopter following us, is there?

[Jonathan] The only thing that's going to follow you home is me.
