Hart to Hart Returns (1993) - full transcript
As Jonathan Hart contemplates what to give Jennifer for their anniversary, a murder is committed and Jonathan is being set up to take the fall. It all has to do with codes, cave-ins, burnouts, and buggings.
NARRATOR:
This is my boss Jonathan Hart.
He's a millionaire, self-made.
And this is his wife Jennifer.
She's quite a lady.
Oh, and that's me.
My name is Max.
I take care of them,
which ain't easy,
cause when they met,
it was murder.
SIMULATOR VOICE:
Valentine, this is Delta One
Control,
-change spot 0129.
JONATHAN HART: Roger.
SIMULATOR VOICE:
Valentine, enemy target,
12 o'clock,
three miles opposite direction,
descending your altitude.
Prepare to engage.
Valentine, collision alert.
Repeat, collision alert.
JONATHAN HART:
Copy. Delta Two Hunter.
Confirm heading 120.
SIMULATOR VOICE:
Valentine, Delta One,
be advised,
enemy target maneuvering
to your heading with speed.
BILL MCDOWELL:
Delta Two, Hunter,
I have visual.
JONATHAN HART:
Delta One, Valentine,
bogie moving on my six.
SIMULATOR VOICE:
Valentine, Delta One,
turn right heading 300.

Delta One, this is Valentine,
are you still there?
I'm coming out of here.
SIMULATOR VOICE:
Roger, Valentine, go to AV,
clear to flight level 210,
maneuvering.

JONATHAN HART:
Delta One, Valentine,
I can't shake him.
[ALARM BEEPING]
BILL MCDOWELL:
Draining fuel fast,
please advise.
JONATHAN HART:
Please advise?
That's easy, pal. You die.
Delta One, I'm going to head
for the hard deck.
SIMULATOR VOICE:
Roger, Valentine,
cleared for the deck.

BILL MCDOWELL:
Okay, Valentine, Galileo,
Magna Carta and you.
What have they got in common?
The answer to the question is...
JONATHAN HART:
He's got a missile lock on me.
BILL MCDOWELL:
They're all history.
♪♪♪
BILL MCDOWELL:
Adios, Jonathan.
Chalk up a kill.
SIMULATOR VOICE:
Thank you, gentleman, your
simulator drill is concluded.
-Nice shooting, Mr McDowell.
-Thank you, Rene.
Aw, cheer up, old buddy,
you never could out-maneuver me.
[LAUGHS]
But I must say you died
a heroic death,
we'll all remember you fondly.
Thanks a lot.
It really is too bad
Jennifer couldn't come along.
Does she fly?
That's cute.
She's busy writing a story,
but she did say
to send you her love.
Yeah, if I'd known you'd be the
only thing I'd get a look at,
I never would have extended
the invitation.
-Really?
-Yeah.
Come on, let's get out
of this stuff,
I'll give you the grand tour.
122 mil, just to build
that one section.
Not bad, huh?
You and me,
we're from the same mold.
We did things the way we flew,
by the seat of our pants.
Hart Industries,
McDowell Aviation.
The name.
The name was what counted.
-It still does, Bill.
-Yeah, yeah, I know.
But everything's different now.
They do things by committee.
There are no born barnstormers
like us, Valentine.
We're the last of a breed.
Now, I've brought
McDowell Aviation
to the brink
of the next century.
The question is,
what do we do next?
How about lunch?
Okay, alright.
I'll shut up, we'll eat.
-Hey, I'm buying.
-Okay.
♪♪♪
MAX:
Come on, boy, that's it,
come to Max.
Come.
That's it, bring me the paper.
Well, how about fetch?
Fetch me the paper.
That's it. Fetch.
Okay, I'll tell you what.
Sit, stay right here.
I'll get the paper.
♪♪♪
Hey, did you ever hear the word
dog meat before?
FEMALE OVER TELEPHONE:
Thank you for calling the
Seattle Marquee, may I help you?
Hello, yes, please,
I would like room 2026.
FEMALE OVER TELEPHONE:
And the guest's name?
Jonathan Hart.
FEMALE OVER TELEPHONE:
Just one moment,
I'll connect you.
FEMALE OVER TELEPHONE:
I'm sorry, he's not answering.
-He's not?
FEMALE OVER TELEPHONE:
Would you like to leave
a message?
Yes, please. Would you please
tell him that his wife called.
-Again.
FEMALE OVER TELEPHONE:
Certainly.
Thank you.
Three-way Julia, you lousy mutt,
give me those papers.
Your old man would be ashamed
if he was alive to see this.
Max?
Mrs. H, he's got to be stopped,
he steals all my important
papers and chews them up.
Max, if Jonathan calls,
would you tell him I won't be
home until after dinner?
-You missed him?
-For the third time today.
Been missing each other
a lot lately.
I know.
Believe me,
it's not out of choice.
Is this your valuable paper?
"Sammy's Dream in the fourth."
Sammy's Dream?
-That's his pick.
-Oh, really?
Well, for your sake,
I wish you a lot of luck.
Max? How's everything?
Yeah, fine here.
-Where's Jennifer?
-You just missed her.
She's out doing a story
on that doctor fella.
Oh, damn.
All right, tell her
I'll call her tonight.
Mr H, you know that saying
about absence making the heart
grow fonder?
Yeah.
I was thinking, maybe it's true.
But sometimes a little of
the real thing goes a long way.
Call Pierro at Valentino's,
have him fix up a nice dinner,
and Max, thanks for the tip,
I owe you one.
-Everything okay?
-Yeah, I guess.
We keep missing
each other's phone calls.
-Gets a little frustrating.
-Yeah.
Hey, this is a nice piece.
Lakota, it's a talking stick.
Found it back in the caves
up in Mount Bedford.
It's an old Indian custom.
Whichever tribe member
has the stick does the talking.
When he's through,
he passes it to the next Indian.
Without the stick,
nobody says a word.
Good system, maybe I should use
it at my next board meeting.
LISA:
Lunch is ready, gentlemen.
Salad, cold, poached
white meat of chicken,
julienne fresh vegetables,
bottled water, most of it.
What happened
to the pastrami sandwiches?
Enjoy your lunch, Mr McDowell.
-Mr Hart.
-Thanks, Lisa.
Unfortunately,
she's very efficient,
-and she takes good care of me.
-Yeah, so I see.
-Mr McDowell?
-Yeah?
Your son's in the outer office,
he'd like to say hi to Mr Hart.
-Oh, great.
-Yeah, well have him come in.
-Hey, Peter.
-Jonathan.
-How are you?
-Good to see you.
How you doing?
-How's the family?
-Great, thanks, thanks.
Billy wears that Dodger cap you
sent him like day and night,
it's like he sleeps in it.
So, how was the dog fight?
It was unbelievable.
I've done my share of flying,
but nothing quite like that.
Well, it's all in the software.
Six years of programming
to develop it.
You hear that, Jonathan,
all in the software.
What about the pilot?
I blew him out of the sky.
I'll print you out a hard copy,
and you can take it home.
Great idea, Peter, maybe next
time it'll help him win.
Dad? You want to come down
and check the lab.
I've been making
some real progress
with that thermal imaging idea.
Maybe later, huh, Peter?
Me and Valentine here, we've got
some catching up to do.
No, hurry.
-Well, I'll see you, huh?
-Yeah.
-Good to see you, Jonathan.
-See you.
-Okay. Start talking.
-What do you mean?
You didn't ask me up here
just to beat me flying
in that simulator.
Talking about flying,
TJ, now he was a pilot.
He could fly circles around me.
He was 28 when this was taken.
Sit down, Jonathan.
Valentine, I got a proposition
for you.
I'm listening.
I want you to buy
McDowell Aviation.
-You're kidding.
-No, not at all.
You've been after it for years,
so now it's available.
Why now?
BILL MCDOWELL:
Defense contracts
have all dried up.
Now is the time to change
McDowell Aviation
out of the defense business
into peace time.
It's now or never.
Why me?
Because if it isn't you,
it'll be somebody else.
Jonathan, I've worked too hard
to see this torn apart.
I want it to continue,
but I want it in the hands
of someone I can trust.
How about Peter?
How do you think he'll feel
about all of this?
You know him Jonathan,
he's not like his brother.
TJ, now, TJ,
he had the instincts, you know?
Peter, he lives in the lab
with the computers.
Hell, he'd be fish food in five
minutes with the barracudas
in this game.
It's sudden, Bill, I'll...
have to think about it,
talk to my people.
BILL MCDOWELL:
Hey, great, that's fine.
Now I'm going to be gone
for a couple of weeks,
I'm going up to a dig
near Mount Bedford.
Matter of fact,
it's right near that little lake
where we went fishing
a couple of years ago.
I want to see if I can find more
pieces like that talking stick.
You do your thing,
have your guys check us out,
make a decision.
When I get back, we'll shake
on it, one way or the other.
There's one other thing.
This idea is strictly between
you and me, okay?
What do you say?
-I'll think about it.
-Fair enough.
We got a problem here.
Why don't we go downtown
tonight?
There's a new place,
just opened up.
There's always
some interesting action.
-Just you and me?
-I'll take a rain-check.
-Come on, you and me.
-Rain-check.
[LAUGHS]
All these years
trying to whip each other,
who could fly faster,
build bigger,
there was always one thing
I could never match you at.
One gun test you won
hands down a long time ago.
I would have given this all up
for one thing.
For a woman like Jennifer.
DR PAUL MENARD:
Chopper's coming in,
take your positions.
Let's go. Let's go.
[HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING]
[INAUDIBLE]
Go, go, go!
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Okay, right this way.
Baker, Rodriguez,
you think this is a vacation
in the California sun?
We're gonna be in places
a thousand times
tougher than this,
and every second you waste,
lives are being lost,
you understand?
Now move together and move fast.
Do it again.
Move it! Get in there. Go!
Clear!
All clear. Clear.
Blue team, we've got a casualty,
lady down in quadrant four,
let's go, let's go.
What are you doing?
No, that's perfectly alright,
I'm fine, honestly.
It's alright, put her down,
she's with me.
-[LAUGHS]
-Very efficient.
Thank you. Very nice.
I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.
You okay?
I'm fine, thank you.
Come with me, I've got
just the right medication.
Okay. Up!
What do you think?
Where in the world
did you find this?
My God, I look young.
Copious research,
I'm famous for it.
I didn't even know this existed.
-Are there more?
-You'll have to read my article.
Well, what has your copious
research told you about us?
Well, let's see. Uhm...
It's no secret
that five years ago
World Team Medical
was riddled with corruption,
but now you're
saving lives again.
And you're almost back on track
with the original idea,
largely due to you.
Not me, them.
They're out there in places
not even on the map,
fighting diseases
that don't have names yet.
And they don't have to.
They want to.
Rather like you, I'd say.
-Me?
-Sure.
You write magazine articles
but you don't have to.
That's what makes you
so attractive.
Among other things.
Thank you.
-More coffee?
-No, thank you.
How about dinner then?
Oh, sorry, I have a date
with a telephone.

-Oh, hi.
Mr Hart, how goes it?
I guess I didn't expect
to hear from you again.
Are you kidding?
You did a great job for me
on that last bit of research
I gave you.
Hey, shower me with praise,
I'm at your service.
-What can I do for you?
-McDowell Aviation in Seattle.
I'd have my own people
check into it
but I don't want to say
anything about it yet.
A little basic research.

Sort of.

GENERAL SCOTT:
I got this off the bug in
McDowell's office yesterday.
BILL MCDOWELL:
I want you to buy
McDowell Aviation.
JONATHAN HART: You're kidding.
BILL MCDOWELL: No, not at all.
You've been after it for years,
well, now it's available.
-Turn that off.
JONATHAN HART: Why now?
What do you think will happen
if Hart decides to buy
McDowell Aviation?
There'll be tons of scrutiny.
Defense department, the SCC,
Hart's attorneys.
And all your kickbacks,
all your over-billing
on government contracts
and all your sales
to unsanctioned buyers
will become very, very public
knowledge.
General, you're the damn
Pentagon, what do you suggest?
I'd like to give Jonathan Hart
something else to think about.
Something that has nothing to do
with buying McDowell Aviation.
Just long enough to close out
the deals we started,
shut down the operation,
disappear,
and after that, who cares?
Well, that's great,
but he's already started
looking at the company.
How do you propose we do it?
Never meet the enemy head on
if you can defeat them before
you even reach the battlefield.
You discredit Jonathan Hart
with his own troops.
Get him in enough trouble
at home,
he won't have time to look
at the McDowell operation.
I'll get you everything
you need.
Bank numbers, phone logs,
IRS documents,
fingerprints taken
while he was in the service.
As you say,
I'm the damn Pentagon.

Listen, you know anything
about a McDowell project
involving smokers
and non-smokers?
No, what kind of a project?
I don't know. Must be some sort
of employee health program.
All the accounts are designated
smoker and non-smoker, but...
It's a lot of money
for a health program.
Well, stay at it, Eric,
I'm going back up there
to look into some
of their research,
I'll see what I can find out.
-I'll get back to you
in a couple of days.
-Okay.
Liz, book me up to Seattle
this afternoon.
Right, thanks.
Life-like images
through solid matter.
PETER MCDOWELL:
Here, watch the monitor, John.
See, the computer already knows
what a flower looks like,
so it takes the thermal images
and transforms them.
I mean, it's just a model.
There's no guarantee it'll work.
Do you think it'll work?
I believe it has potential.
I mean, for what,
I'm afraid to think.
I mean, if I do make it work,
then it goes down the hall
and...
McDowell Industries
will see to it
that any potential for death and
destruction is not overlooked.
Well, not necessarily.
It's your work.
Why don't you decide
how they're going to use it?
You mean, after we're acquired
by Hart Industries?
What makes you think that?
You didn't come up here
just to observe my research.
It was just talking,
nothing's been decided.
No one else
knows anything about it.
Yeah, but he's thinking about
selling it to you.
-And we both know why.
-Why?
Because I'm not TJ.
I mean, from the day
that plane went down,
I've been trying to step
into his shoes.
But the truth is,
that TJ is like my dad
and I am like neither of them,
and I can't change that.
Look, Peter, I'm the one that's
been pushing for a marriage
between my technology and yours.
Maybe he just started to hear
what I was saying.
Jonathan, I'm a big boy now,
you don't need to give me
a pep talk
about how things
are going to be different
when McDowell
is part of Hart Industries.
Depends on who's working here.
TJ's gone.
You're not.
I can think of about five peace
time applications for that idea.
Just off the top of my head,
Peter.
How about you?
Very good.
You'll be ready
for the tour soon.
Jennifer?
This is such a coincidence
running into you like this.
Isn't it?
Can we talk?
Marcia, we have a deal.
And I have a contract.
You said I could write about
what I believed in.
You said I could make
a difference
by calling attention
to worthwhile causes,
and that's exactly what
World Team Medical is.
I think I deserve an answer.
Who's tried to kill this story?
-Marcia.
-Alright.
But you never heard
anything from me.
My lips are sealed.
A request to hold back
on the story
came from a big
New York law firm.
A New York law firm?
That wouldn't by any chance be
Aspel and Markowitz, would it?
How did you know that?
Copious research.
I'm famous for it, remember?
It was about five years ago
Walter Ehrlich was convicted
and sentenced to prison.
He was the former head
of World Team Medical.
-You remember that, don't you?
-Right. Right.
Something about vaccine,
it fell into the wrong hands
and people were dying.
It was Aspel and Markowitz
that defended Ehrlich
at the trial.
And you think that Ehrlich
exerted influence
over this story
-from prison?
-Yeah.
Did you know that Walter Ehrlich
was at Stanford
with Harold Firman?
Look, Firman is my boss.
A request went to the top
and he agreed.
You don't work there, I do,
and I like my job.
It's the only one I have.
So as far as I'm concerned,
we never had this discussion.
Matter of fact, we never even
saw each other, alright?
Right.
Oh, by the way, you know I'm not
just going to drop this.

-Breakfast, Mrs H?
-No, thanks, I'm late.
Darling, don't forget

-Tonight?
-The cocktail party.
World Team Medical honoring
Paul Menard? You remember.
Were we ever really
in the mountains?
I've forgotten
we were ever there.
Maybe this will remind you.
-What do you think?
-Oh, yeah.
-Bye!
-So long.
-Keep thinking. See you later.
-Have a nice day.

I wasn't expecting any visitors.
Dr Ehrlich?
Why did you kill my story?
What makes you think
I had anything to do with that?
An educated guess.
You and Firman
were college buddies.
If you asked him,
he'd probably kill the story.
If I'm wrong,
just tell me and I'll leave.
We were once the...
most highly respected team
of doctors in America.
In the years we ran
World Team Medical,
Paul Menard and I
were on the cover
of Time magazine three times.
Now I sew up wounds
from homemade knives
stolen from the kitchen,
I set broken bones from fist
fights in a prison yard.
There's been enough written,
enough said.
But this story isn't about
the past, it's about now.
Doctor?
That's of no interest to me now.
They're saving lives.
You believed in that once.
I will serve my sentence,
Mrs Hart.
But I won't relive
what happened.
Alright. But will you just do me
this one favor, please?
Please? Will you read this?
I'm afraid the photographs
were lost in the fire.
Will you reserve judgement
until you've read it?
Thank you.
I know you hate this stuff
but it's supposed to be good
for you.
Hey, Max.
Here's your dough.
A yard and a half.
So, who tipped you
to Crazy Lady?
Let's just say a friend.
Let's just say
that friend's name.
Can't do it, Duke.
Then I guess you don't want
to see this advanced copy
of the fire investigation
report,
compliments
of my brother-in-law?
Come on, Max, give,
who's the tipster?
All right, it's the dog.
The Dog.
-Who's The Dog?
-It's not a nickname.
Him.
No kidding, he chewed up
the racing form
and the only name left
was Crazy Lady.
That's supposed to be
some kind of a system?
That's stupid, Max,
what the hell's wrong with you,
that a man like you would
believe in that nonsense?
That's the stupidest thing
I ever heard in my life.
I give you $2,000 for the dog.
Not for sale at any price.
Why sell the dog that laid
the golden egg, right?
Listen, Max, let me know
when he chews again.

-Hello?
-Daisy May?
Abner. I got your message.
I thought you'd like that.
Any luck with the bird man
of Alcatraz?
Well, I left him my article
to read.
I can't say
that I blame him really
for not wanting it published.
He's had enough bad publicity
to last a lifetime.
Where are you?
In my car.
On the way to the party.
I thought it would be best
if we met there.
Great. How will I recognize you?
I'll be the tall, dark,

Hi, Peter.
I'm on my way to Mount Bedford

out of touch, huh?
Here, Dad, Dad, take a look
at his before you go.
It's that thermal imaging
I was telling you about.
See, if I can figure out a way
to clarify the fractal imaging,
then I can increase
the number of pixels...
Whoa, wait a minute.
I don't understand
all this mumbo-jumbo, Peter.
The only thing
I know about pixels is,
they help Santa Claus
at Christmas.
Very funny.
This has nothing to do
with flying.
Does it have to be about flying?
Well,
we are an aviation company.
For how long? You said yourself
that things were changing.
Look, we'll discuss this
another time.
Let's discuss it now.
TJ's not the future of this
company, Dad, he's dead.
I'm the only future you've got.
If you're thinking about this
merger with Jonathan Hart...
Wait a minute, where did you
hear about that?
I haven't said anything
to anybody.
Dad, give me some credit.
I know you.
Don't you think
I deserve to be told?
Or should I just read about it
someday
in the Wall Street Journal ?
You'll be told
at the right time.
When? After it was a done deal?
I'll be back in a couple
of weeks.
We'll talk about it then.

Well, I intend to use part of it

-It's really quite moving.
-How did you read my...

He did?
You seem surprised.
He was my friend and partner.
I visit him every chance I get.
It's the least I can do.
If only I hadn't been in Bangkok
at the time of his trial,
I might have been
of some help to him.
Good evening, may I help you?
Yes.
The lady with the red hair
in the black dress?
Who's the man
that she's talking to?
That is our guest of honor,
Dr Paul Menard.
-Thanks.
-Good evening.
He used his friendship with
Harold Firman to kill the story.
I thought that was unfair
so I asked him to read it
and then make up his mind.
-And so he did.
-He did?
You mean he's going to let it
be published?
Yes, he told me he plans to call
Firman first thing tomorrow.
-Oh, that's great.
-You know, for someone
so soft and lovely,
you're a very formidable lady.
-Thank you.
-I applaud your tenacity.
And if you ever change
your mind, we could,
well, I could use
someone like you
on the board
of World Team Medical.
That's very kind.
Jennifer, excuse me,
it seems I have a phone call.
Hi, Daisy.
Jonathan, you didn't.
Did you really?
-The old telephone trick.
-Yeah.
That's naughty.
Let's go out on the terrace
and check out the view.
What a great idea.
Oh, this is a great view.
You look beautiful.
Oh, thank you, but you've seen
this dress before.
I'm not talking about the dress.
-What?
-I'm talking about you.
Oh!
Come a little closer
and say that.
-You look beautiful.
-Thank you.
I'd like to freeze this moment.
Freeze it.
Mr Hart, I'm sorry to
interrupt you. But...
Oh, no, I've already done that.
There are some gentlemen
waiting to see you.
Right over there.
Jonathan, Jennifer.
Sorry to bother you here,
but these detectives came down
to the office looking for you,
and I was working late.
I figured the best thing to do
was come down here
and get this thing settled
right away.
Settle what?
Mr Hart, do you know a man
by the name of Eric Hayden?
I told him,
there's no Eric Hayden...
Yes, I know Eric Hayden,
he's a freelance
corporate investigator.
I hired him recently
to do some research.
You did?
Why didn't you say anything?
-What's the problem?
-He's dead, Mr Hart.
They found him at his home
earlier, murdered.
Jonathan, I don't think
you should answer
any more questions.
Take it easy, Lou.
If there's anything I can do
to help, just say.
Excuse us for a moment.
Jonathan, please,
as your attorney
I must insist that you don't...
Wait a minute, Lou.
Eric Hayden was a friend.
He had a hundred
different clients
that he took care of
all at once.
If there's the slightest thing
that I can do to help....
That's not it,
you don't understand.
They found things
at Hayden's house.
-What kind of things?
-Files.
And what's in them strongly
indicates that you're someone
who might have an interest
in killing him.
♪♪♪
Yes, that's Eric Hayden.
Why do you need me
to identify him?
He had no known relatives
and yours is the last number
he called.
What happened?
Our office received a call,
Hayden said he had some very
sensitive information
he wanted to turn over to us
as quickly as possible.
He sounded very frightened.
And when we got there, we found
him with a bullet in his head.
Now what was he doing for you?
-Research.
-What kind of research?
I know, and you must know,
I don't have to answer
that kind of a question.
Maybe you'd better rethink that,
Mr Hart.
You could be
in a lot of trouble.
-It was Eric.
-Oh, dear.
I'm not being arrested yet,
but they're licking their chops
in there.
Someone's trying very hard
to make me look guilty.
-Where's Lou?
-He's on the phone.
Ted Avery wants a meeting
of the board.
-When?
-Now.
-Research.
-Peter? Jonathan Hart.
-Hi.
-I'm trying to find your dad.
-Is he still there?
-No, you just missed him.
He left this afternoon
for the mountains.
Anything I can do?
JONATHAN HART:
The FBI has information only
your dad and I could know about.
I think someone
has bugged his office.
Do you know anything about
a company health plan
involving smokers
and non-smokers?
A health plan?
Smokers and non-smokers?
-It doesn't ring a bell, huh?
- No.
If you want to know anything
more, you'll have to wait
till he gets back and ask him.
Thanks very much. Bye.
TED AVERY:
Jonathan, we're sorry we had
to call you down here
in the middle of the night.
Jennifer, you are a member
of the board,
but this is an executive
committee meeting
and it may be rather awkward.
It's not awkward for me, Ted.
I'm here as Mrs Jonathan Hart.
If that's a problem for anybody,
just say so.
I assume you've seen these files
we received from authorities.
We haven't had a chance
to study them thoroughly, Ted.
I've seen them.
Are all those signatures yours?
None of them are mine.
So you're saying
that they're forged?
Yes.
You do realize that they show
offshore bank accounts
into which you supposedly
shuttled
hundreds of millions of dollars
of Hart Industry funds.
Where did you get those files,
Ted?
According to the authorities,
they were found
in Eric Hayden's house.
Well, doesn't that tell you
something?
Do you really think that if
Jonathan had anything to hide,
he'd allow files to be left out
for somebody to find?
This man Hayden was murdered,
Jonathan,
the FBI thinks these files
gave you a motive
for wanting him dead.
Do you think we have a right
to know what this is all about?
Obviously, someone is trying
to discredit me.
I don't know why.
-Did you hire Eric Hayden?
-Yes, I did.
I asked him to look into a
company called McDowell Aviation
as a possible acquisition.
Why someone on the outside?
Why not one of our own
researchers?
And why didn't you tell us
anything about it?
He doesn't have to report
to the board
every time he gets an idea, Ted.
These files suggest that you
used Hayden as a conduit
to launder hundreds of millions
of dollars of Hart Industry
funds.
There's no mention of McDowell
Aviation in any of them.
-How do you explain that?
-I can only guess.
Someone wanted my attention
away from McDowell Aviation.
Jonathan,
what if the authorities
file charges against you?
Now something like this,
once it hits the papers,
even if it isn't true,
can have a devastating effect
on the value of Hart Industries,
and we have a responsibility
to our shareholders.
48 hours.
If I can't unravel what this is
all about by then,
you do what you have to
for the company.
I'll go along.
All right. 48 hours.
After that, we really don't have
any choice,
and you'll have to be removed
from your position
as CEO of Hart Industries
until such time as this whole
matter is resolved.
JONATHAN HART:
Bill is the only one
that can sort this out.
JENNIFER HART:
We have to find him.
It is obviously an attempt
to discredit you.
-It cannot possibly hold up.
JONATHAN HART:
It doesn't have to hold up.
You know the story
about a man's reputation,
it's like a rollercoaster, it
goes up slowly, comes down fast.
I used to sell papers right
around the corner from here.
-You did?
-Yeah.
One day I had a chance
for a better job,
and Max came around the corner,
pulled up right alongside
of the news stand
and handed me a new sport coat.
All I had was a ratty old
baseball jacket,
that's the only thing I owned.
So I look at this gorgeous
sports coat, and I look at Max,
and he says,
"Here, kid, take it.
Someday the name Jonathan Hart
may mean something,
but right now,
you gotta make them believe."
Jonathan.
-Yeah, come on, get in.
-Jonathan?
Can't you read? Move it.
I'd better talk to Max, see if
he's still got that sports coat.

Oh, look, he waited up for us.
We should have called.
Max?
Mr and Mrs H,
where have you been?
Here, I want to show you
something.
-Where'd you get this?
-Duke, my bookie.
His brother-in-law
works for the arson squad.
I asked for a look before they
issued it officially.
What does it say, darling?
It says the night the house
was burned,
-there were signs of burglary.
-Burglary?
I went back in the house,
they found a lighter,
they got prints off it
but no match yet.
Good work, Max.
But what were they looking for?
-Information.
-Information about what?
Well, let's start
at the beginning.
Bill McDowell offers to sell me
his company.
Right after that,
when I get back,
someone breaks into our house
and sets fire to it.
Maybe someone at McDowell
knew that Bill wanted you
to buy the company
and they didn't want
that to happen.
And they knew
that I hired Eric Hayden
about some project labelled
smokers and non-smokers.
JENNIFER HART:
He was too close for comfort,
and if you bought the company,
it would only get worse.
So they kill him
and they leave evidence
accusing me of stealing
from Hart Industries.
Tying your hands so that you
couldn't buy McDowell
even if you wanted to.
Pack your bags, darling,

Just like old times.

Peter said that Bill always
camps up in the north
and then works his way down.
Well, that part's

that we're missing something.
Like the pieces of a puzzle.
The only thing you came back
from Seattle with
was that computer readout,
right?
Do you think that was important
enough to burn our house down?
Well, it's the only thing
I had in the house
that had anything to do
with McDowell.

-Very?
-Very formal.
Very. Ooh.
Mr and Mrs H, what do you think?
This looks great, Max.
I brought in everything I could
to make you feel like
it's your place.
Our place, Max.
Yeah, our place.
-It's perfect.
-Not quite.
Not quite?
Now it's perfect.
The old vase.
The old vase.
Why do I feel I'm in a Japanese
monster movie?
-The vase that wouldn't die.
-[DOORBELL RINGS]
I'll get it.
Jonathan, I hope I'm not
disturbing anything.
Oh, not at all, come in.
Jennifer, you have a visitor.
-Lovely home.
-Thanks, but it's not ours.
Yes, that's right, of course,
I'm sorry.
Well, what a surprise,
how did you ever find us?
Actually, I got your new address
from Marcia,
I just wanted to say goodbye.
I'm off to South America.
We're starting up a new
World Team Medical unit there.
Wonderful. Well, good luck.
You know, your article was a big
help to us in raising funds.
I just wanted to thank you again
for what you did for us.
Well, as you said,
they're wonderful people
doing important work.
Oh, I see you've got yourself
a new briefcase.
I like this better
than that black one.
It's more you.
Oh, where did you say
you were going again?
South America,
the mountains of Peru.
Goodness, it must be sort of out
of touch there, huh?
-You get used to it.
-I'm sure you do.
I guess you've seen just about
every part of the world
there is now.
East Africa, Bangkok...
It goes with the territory.
Jonathan, take care of her,
she's a fantastic woman.
Darling, that's no way
to treat a guest.
Do you want to know who burned
down our beautiful house?
Him?
I didn't have a briefcase
when I went to interview him.
How did he know
I bought a new one?
-Jennifer--
-Remember when I said
I thought there was something
missing?
-Yes.
-Well,
supposedly all my photographs
burned in the fire, right?
-Right.
-Wrong.
-He took them.
-He did?
All those old photographs
I'd dug out.
I had them in my old briefcase
on the desk.
I remember when I first showed
him those photographs,
there was something
that spooked him.
I didn't think very much of it
at the time,
but now I'm absolutely sure
I know what it was.
What was it?
One of those photographs
placed him in East Africa
at the exact time he swore
he was in Bangkok.
During the trial.
So he lied
and his partner Walter Ehrlich
took the blame
-and he went to prison?
-Exactly.
Jennifer, I don't want
to be negative,
but what if you're wrong?
Well, at least I got rid
of this.
I say that his fingerprints
will match with the fingerprints
found at the fire.
Wanna bet?
Against you? No way.
Max.
Oh, boy.
Call the police.
Just like old times.
Max, this is silly, why won't
you tell me where we are?
I know this has something to do
with our anniversary.
Darling I wanted to give you
the biggest diamond
I could find.
Happy anniversary.
I love you.

Oh, Jonathan.
-I love you.
-You do?
Do it again.
-Again?
-Please.
Max.
Darling, I wanted to give you
the biggest diamond
I could find.
Happy anniversary.
I love you.
I've been watching baseball
for 50 years,
but I never saw a play
like this.
