Original subtitles

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'd take care of them, which ain't easy.

Because when they met, it was murder.

Gold, me hearties.

Gold.

Stolen from my husband.

He'll run you through for this.

You're a larceness, bloke. And I'd love to get my hands on you. I am not

fighting a lady. I'm not a lady when I fight.

I'm

afraid

you'd come.

I'll only be a moment.

Lord has no equal, sir.

My lady, I can only do with what I've got.

If I can't have the gold, no one can.

No one.

No one. No!

No! No!

No! No! No!

No.

No. No.

Darling.

I hate to say this, but where am I?

We're in San Francisco in a hotel.

Remember?

We're here for a charity auction, remember?

Remember me?

I remember you.

I fell asleep.

I've had a bad dream.

Actually, it was going great until Max spoiled it. Max?

Yeah, we were on the Explorer.

Only it wasn't the Explorer, it was a pirate ship. Really?

Yeah, Max was the villain.

He was trying to steal our gold coins.

He was absolutely bloodthirsty.

Bloodthirsty, Mac?

I was Errol Flynn, and you were... Maureen O 'Hara?

Oh, I loved Maureen O 'Hara.

She was the only redhead who had the courage to wear pink.

You were wearing green.

Oh. And you were playing with my sword.

I was.

Is there any meaning in that, Dr. Freud?

Well... This I do not know, however.

What I do know is if we don't get rest right now, we will be late for

our own journey. I think I'm falling in love with my doctor.

Come in.

I had your suit pressed, Mr. Reich.

Oh. Look at all that fruit.

Oh, Junior.

Help yourself, Max.

Blood oranges.

My favorite.

What did I tell you?

Hey, Junior.

Now don't you run Max ragged.

You know what they say about San Francisco, Max?

Once you've walked around it, you can lean against it.

Have fun.

And if they auction any mugs, they span you 78.

Snap him up.

Who's Muggsy Spanier? You gotta be kidding, Mrs. H.

He was only the greatest cornet player ever.

Really? Goodbye, Mac.

Muggsy Spanier?

Who's Muggsy Spanier? What's the world coming to, Junior?

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

Jennifer and I welcome you, all of our good friends.

As you know, this is a fundraiser for the Mission Street Orphanage, which is a

cause that is very dear to my heart, so we hope you'll all bid on these

wonderful auction items.

As an addition, today we have this exceptional display of gold coins, which

recovered from a 16th century Spanish galleon off the coast of Point Reyes by

Captain Daniels and his crew on the Explorer, which is a...

flagship for Hart Industries' Oceanic Explorer fleet.

It's my pleasure to introduce to all of you Captain Jeremy Daniels. Thank you.

And now we will open the silent auction, and we hope that you will all open your

pocketbooks and your hearts for this great cause.

But please,

no bidding on the gold.

Thank you.

And I cannot wait.

Can't wait for what?

To open my heart in your pocket.

Now, I bet you're going to be looking for something heart -shaped, huh?

How did you know that?

Well, you're famous for it.

Well,

I would like to get some records on Mugsy, what's his name? Spanier? Mugsy

Spanier?

You've heard of him? Sure.

So, who is he?

Cornette player at the Jazz Band Ball, 1939.

Bluebird label. Incredible.

I must have led a very sheltered life.

Captain, would you mind if my husband gets a picture of us? We could pretend

that we were at sea on the Explorer.

Yeah, you really don't have to pretend. One of the items up for auction this

afternoon is a full working position on the next Explorer voyage.

Oh, I guess he's taking a bubble bath, though. Cooler, you're right.

Oh, me? Yeah, how's that?

Perfect.

Not a Muggsy Spaniard record in the catalog, but there is a Victrola that

have once belonged to Bugsy Siegel.

Keep looking, darling.

Oh, that's sweet.

Oh, those adorable kids.

Didn't you tell me you once had a sailor suit like that?

Just like that.

That's me.

Are you serious?

I'm positive.

Well, then who's she?

I don't know, but I sure would like to.

Darling, if we could find her, she might be able to tell you something about

your childhood.

Yeah, that might be something if we could locate her.

I was about three years old when that was taken, just before they brought me

Mission Street.

Maybe someone at the orphanage donated it. Maybe she donated it.

Oh, this is exciting.

Mysterious faith from the past.

You're going to get these coins.

They'll be heavily guarded.

Not your problem.

The price is 12 million.

When and where?

We'll let you know when.

You send your yacht back for us. That way it'll be up to you to get us through

customs. Once we're safely out, you give us the money, we give you the coins,

then we disappear.

Okay?

Good.

My yacht will be at your disposal.

A glass of champagne.

Love you.

The auction inventory is here somewhere, Mr. Hart.

There I am.

We really do keep meticulous track of things here in Salisbury and Salisbury

auctioneers. Now, let's see.

One locket, gold, heart -shaped.

Antique.

Oh, I regret to say this item has been reported stolen.

It disappeared before the silent bidding ended.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Salisbury.

We got so excited, we just took it.

Took it?

You pinched an item to be auctioned?

Well, I didn't pinch anything, but I had a good time anyway.

You say pinched, we say stolen.

In any event, we didn't do either.

Either? Either.

We didn't do one or the other. You removed the locket from the auction

contributing any legal tender for it.

What would you call that?

We're perfectly willing to pay for it now if you just tell us what the highest

bid was.

Mrs. Hart, I don't think that would be cricket.

That's it.

That's our bid.

Now, can you tell us who donated the locket? No, I cannot.

The locket in question wasn't donated to us here at S &S.

It was part of a lot given directly to Miss Elizabeth Logan.

Do you know her?

Ah, it rings a distant bell. She's worked for me for the past ten years.

Then I suggest you go and find Miss Logan, Mr. Hart.

And may I suggest what you can go and do, Mr. Salisbury? Darling.

Sarah! If anyone should find out about this, I'll be thrown off the Explorer.

It's a good ship, good job.

Well, you want us to give you a 21 -gun salute?

This is Providence.

I made a copy of it in the communications room.

This certifies the authenticity of the coin. They were newly minted.

It could be worth a fortune to a collector.

Someone had the provenance, which would vouch for their authenticity.

It's all worthless without the coins.

I risked my job, my life, for this.

Oh, don't worry.

We're taking care of it.

Evan, why don't you take care of Mr.

Jorgensen?

Anything new on the locket, Liz?

No, I'm sorry. I didn't personally log anything delivered.

But I'll keep checking.

Well, Salisbury could be wrong.

Which one did you meet, senior or junior?

I'd say senior, 65 or 70 years old.

No, that's junior.

An honest gentleman, but a penny or two short of a pound, as we say.

Well, he's not anymore. He just cleaned me out.

Listen, Liz.

Keep trying and call me back, will you? Thanks very much. Bye.

How do you feel about a silver fist and some lunch at the Buena Vista?

Oh, I'm not really very hungry.

Oh, neither am I.

Neither?

Well, I don't feel like eating. Darling, even if we never find this mysterious

lady with the locket, why can't we just count our blessings and be thankful for

the way things are?

You're right.

I mean, here we are in this beautiful city.

We're together. We're not hungry. We've got our health, and we've got each

other. Who could ask for anything more?

Hello?

Yeah, oh, hi, Liv.

Yeah, you did?

Great. Give it to me.

Thanks very much.

We got a name. Who?

Al Goldberg.

8497 Grant.

Great!

Grant.

Excuse me.

Is Mr. Goldberg here?

Yes. I'm Ling Goldberg.

Welcome, welcome.

What is it? You look surprised.

Well, I must admit that I am.

If there can be a Goldberg named Whoopi, why not a Goldberg named Ling?

No reason.

Exactly. I don't even think Whoopi is her real name.

Mr. Goldberg.

Do you recognize this locket?

Can you tell us where you got it?

Well, that's confidential information.

Discretion is the cornerstone of my business.

Ours, too.

But we are obligated to our colleagues in personal income

to find out whether or not this locket...

which you're probably going to deduct as a charitable donation, is actually

worth what you say it is. In fact, I'm quite sure that they'd like to take a

closer look at all your deductions.

Yeah.

So what is it, you two, you with the IRS?

I got the piece a little over a year ago.

So look, you take this.

I don't know even if the address is still good, but... We'll take it from

Thanks very much.

Uncle Sam is proud of you.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The combination codes would arrive from a primary default binary language based

Unfortunately, they use symbolic logic as opposed to non -symbolic logic to

And you've been vaccinated with a phonograph needle.

Will you just tell us what to do?

Well, simply place the sensor over the keypad, switch on, press this button

As soon as the numbers lock up, you're in.

All you got to do is open the case.

Fantastic.

But how are you going to get that close?

Well, there's something you don't know.

You, Professor Higgins, are a true genius.

And I can't resist genius.

Evan, I think the professor earned an extra share, don't you?

Sure.

I'm loaded.

No, listen, I'm catering Danielle Steele's party.

Yes, so you see, I'd like to send a very special bouquet. Now, you're her

favorite florist, so just send what it is that she likes and bill me.

The card, have it read, deeply grateful for your continued support, Stuart

Morris, Pacific Heights Cuisine Catering.

Okay, got that?

Great, thank you.

Stop catering Danielle Steele's party, and you know it.

You work too hard at working too hard, Stuart.

If it's not work, I'm creating opportunity.

Greatness rubs off when you rub elbows with it. You are some piece of work, you

know that? And you love every minute of it, admit it.

Do me a favor, Tib. Don't forget to pack the remainder of that gateau imperial

in a box. I'll take it over to Aunt Maureen's. I promised her a little

No problem.

I'm Stuart Morris.

This is my place.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute. I know you. I've seen you. My name is Jonathan Hart.

Yes. This is my wife.

Jennifer. Of course.

Okay.

Well, we cater a lot of celebrities here.

Looks delicious.

We haven't had lunch yet, have we, dear? What can I offer you?

Some information.

Okay. Oh, about this.

I'm sorry.

How did you get this? We were told it belonged to you.

Actually, it was my Aunt Maureen's. And she sold some things to get some money

to help me open up this place here, I guess.

That's her.

There. Really?

Well, that's me.

You're kidding.

Really?

Well, it doesn't look anything like you.

I shaved since it was taken.

My husband must have known your aunt.

We'd like to find out how.

Well, you see, look, my aunt, she doesn't have a lot of... Well, no one

And I wouldn't want anything to upset her.

Well, neither would we.

What can it hurt?

The golden gate in the evening light. Isn't it beautiful?

You know, it was opened in 1937, spanning 8 ,970 feet, suspended

by two towers, 740 feet tall, 500 feet from the tip of the tower to the traffic

deck, and then 750 feet down to the sea.

Stuart, what are you doing here? I'm right in the middle of my talk.

My nephew, Stuart, made in 1967.

Six feet, 170.

Hello. Hi.

Anne -Marie, could you spare a couple of minutes? I'd like to introduce you to a

couple of people. Yes, of course. Everybody back in the bus. Come up. Move

out. Yahoo!

Mrs. Collier, I'm Jonathan Hart.

This is my wife, Jennifer.

How do you do?

Now, you missed Haight -Ashbury and the Castro, and this is the last stop on our

tour. Oh, no, no, no. They don't want a tour. They'd like to show you something.

What can you tell us about this?

Well, this is my locket, isn't it? Sure is, Aunt Maureen.

Oh, of course. Did I lose it? Thank you so much for bringing it back.

No, no, no.

Mr. Hart says the little boy in the locket is him.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Is it true?

I can't believe it.

My brother.

My baby brother.

You were such a beautiful child, friendly, happy, always laughing. Oh,

Stuart now. He has the honors.

And he had the cutest dimples.

And that little birthmark on your bottle.

I remember it vividly because you always hated to wear pants. The only way I

could get you to keep them on was to bribe you with graham crackers and milk,

which you adored.

I still do.

I would put them on, and you would pull them back off again. Fortunately, he's

outgrown that habit.

I can't believe that this can be happening.

I've dreamed for this moment for so long. Now I just don't know what to say.

You see?

You didn't believe me. I told you that I had a brother.

I've heard about Aunt Maureen's brother for years, ever since she married my

Uncle Ernie.

Dear Ernie laughed here, and then I asked Stuart to move in and keep me

How do you like that cake?

It's wonderful.

Your shop?

Oui, it's Gâteau Imperial.

Not as good as graham crackers, Charlie.

Oh, I wish I had some in the house.

Yes, that's her middle name, Charles, isn't it?

You know, I wanted to call him J .C., but the nuns didn't like that.

They could never figure you out. You were the smartest child there. And you

always playing with that little dog that used to hang around the orphanage. What

was his name?

Um, Mar, Mar, no, Marty. I thought you said his name was Monty.

Monty.

That's right.

Yeah, that's right. That was the name of the dog. My God, I haven't thought

about that dog for years.

Well, this is all so incredible.

What do we do now?

Coffee.

That's where.

Tell me, what do you remember about our parents?

Well, we were both so young when we moved to Mission Street. It's hard to

remember much.

Daddy. Was killed in an accident in the army. And then, suddenly, mother was

alone.

No family. Young.

Worried sick about how she'd take care of us.

I'm sure that Mission Street seemed the best idea.

What happened to her?

I don't know.

I was adopted soon after, and my new family, the Gilbertsons, moved to

Sacramento.

Crush me.

I have to leave you.

I always knew that we would find each other.

Oh, still as sweet as ever.

I wish I could show you the files, Mr. Hart, but I can't. But I've already seen

them, Mr. Dillard, at the orphanage.

Before the fire. It was parochial then.

After it was burned, the files were sent here to social services and they were

sealed. Why was that?

It's a department policy to protect the anonymity of the parents.

Personally, I think it's really a lousy idea. I mean, why shouldn't people be

able to know their origins?

If it were me, it would be public record.

Exactly.

Especially if you just met someone who could possibly be your sister.

You must be thrilled. I am.

We think we were together at the Mission Street orphanage. It was all so long

ago that it's hard to remember. I was hoping the files could help us.

I could get in so much trouble for this.

I know.

Who you two are.

I know this means a lot to you.

Follow me quickly.

Okay. My supervisor is at lunch.

You have exactly until two o 'clock.

All right, Mr. Jones.

Call me Andy.

Thanks, Andy.

We're going to start.

Well, here I am.

In the H -5.

Oh.

And that's me in the sailor suit again.

Let me see this.

Jonathan seems to be a cheerful little boy, always laughing. He just loves

animals, especially the old stray who hangs around the grounds.

He has a healthy appetite, not keen on vegetables.

Charlie... Charlie won't drink milk without graham crackers.

Maureen, really, you hooked up.

Yeah, I forgot how detailed the file is.

Come on, I could learn a lot about me.

But the files have been closed.

No one was allowed to read them. Yeah, we're looking at them.

Good point.

And we don't even know if Maureen was in Mission Street.

Well, if we were to find out, if you were in the H's, she'd have to... She'd

have to be in the G's.

Look at that.

Well, that's marine, all right.

Not a single Muggsy Spanier record in sight.

But a sister you haven't seen since you was three.

Call me Pitcher, but that's some amazing finish.

What are you suggesting, Max?

I don't like playing the long shots.

You ought to take a good look when the odds are out of whack.

They're beautiful, just like a painting.

They're here all the time.

Sunshine and fog.

My whole life's like that.

Some days I'm shrouded in fog, disconnected, unable to see who I am or

am. Then other days, everything's clear.

I think I know the feeling.

Maybe it comes from being an orphan.

See, that's why I could never leave this place. It's so much a part of me. But

you've been to so many places, done so many things.

Well, I've also been very lucky. Oh, luck has nothing to do with it, Charlie.

You know it. You and Jennifer have achieved so much.

Not just heart industries, but everything that you stand for.

Everything that you do.

It's enough to make a sister proud.

Come on. What?

Come on, there's more. There's more.

Jonathan Hart? Yeah.

The Jonathan Hart is your uncle?

I can't believe it. You can't believe it? I keep pinching myself. But it all

seems to add up, though, you know?

I just hope that Maureen doesn't get her hopes up and then maybe... It's like a

novel. Right out of Dickens.

Or Daniel Steele, huh?

I bet you Uncle Jonathan has a lot of friends. What do you think?

I guess it wouldn't be so terrible having such a man for an uncle. Yeah, I

suppose I could stand it if I had to, huh?

Hey, how about a toast?

To family, old and new.

Cheers.

I've been thinking.

The explorer finding something that Sir Francis Drake missed is a great piece of

local history.

And we thought that you might want to include that on your tour. I could make

the explorer available to you.

Oh, Charlie, that is a wonderful idea. It is so exciting to revisit the past.

Sir Francis Drake sailed along the coast in 1574 aboard the Golden Hind,

plundering every Spanish ship he encountered.

Some scholars believe that he actually kept a journal, but it was never found.

And, to add to the excitement, the gold coins that the explorer discovered had

actually been minted recently in Madrid and put into circulation.

They were worth thousands then, but today, worth millions.

Now, the Spanish crown is planning to use those... How did you find that out?

What?

All that information about the coins.

I didn't think that had been released to the press yet.

Well, no, I can't remember where I had lunch yesterday, but I know my history.

I've tried to learn everything about the past.

Ultimately, history teaches us who we are.

Like you and me, Charlie.

But you always say, isn't it, Charlie?

So I have.

Oh, Stuart.

We were wondering if you'd be interested in catering a little reception for us.

Interested?

Something simple, you know, hors d 'oeuvres and drinks for the Maritime

presentation. Finger food is totally me.

Good. Oh, that's so exciting.

Yeah, thank you very much. It'll be fabulous, I promise. I can arrange for

everything, including the extra help and the valet parking.

Security can take care of that.

Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Hart.

I'm a stringer for the examiner. My editor's planning a piece on the coin

presentation. How about a picture?

All right.

What would you like?

Well, if I could have you come around here, sir.

Mr. Hart, can I have the other names at the table?

Oh, I'm Stuart. S -T -U -S... A -R -T, not S -T -E -W -A -R -T Morris. And this

is my Aunt Maureen Collier.

Any special occasion?

This is a family reunion.

Mr. Hart and I have just discovered that we... Aunt Maureen, I don't know if we

should say anything just yet. Oh, I'm sorry, Tilly. I didn't mean... I hope I

didn't. Shall we let this man have his picture?

Okay, if everybody could just kind of squeeze together.

Now, everybody say cheese.

page, Mrs. H.

Well, I guess everybody knows where we had dinner last night.

Thanks.

Hello? Jennifer, it's Stuart.

Hello, Stuart.

We were just looking at the picture in the paper.

Yeah, you look fabulous, but it is not my good side. I've got to get to a gym.

Listen, it was a great evening.

Jennifer, I don't know.

And Jonathan, Aunt Maureen, is floating on air. Good.

We had a wonderful time, too.

Listen, I was thinking that we ought to maybe get together this afternoon to

discuss the catering ideas.

Four o 'clock?

Four o 'clock's fine.

See you then.

All right, bye -bye.

Stuart set up a meeting to discuss the arrangements he's made.

Very efficient.

And very convenient that the photographer was at the restaurant.

Another long shot.

Maybe not.

Liz, I'm going to fax you some information on two people we've met

been up here in San Francisco. Will you have Russ Becker do a background check

on them for me, please?

Right.

Yeah, I'll call you back.

Thanks.

John? Jonathan and Jennifer Hart enjoy an evening out with long -lost

Mr. Hart has just been reunited with his sister, Mrs. Maureen Collier.

According to her nephew, Stuart Morris... Stuart Morris.

Oh, how touching.

And he's going to cater the big event.

Suddenly, it seems there are relatives coming and going through the service

center.

What does that mean?

I'll tell you later.

Wait a minute.

Jennifer Hart's over there. Okay.

Hello? Harry?

Oh, Mr. Hart!

Welcome back to San Francisco.

How can I help you?

Jennifer got this locket.

I wanted to get her a gold chain to surprise her. Ah, we have lots of lovely

ones right here. Please.

Oh, these are beautiful.

By the way, your nephew stopped by the store this morning.

My nephew? Delightful young man. Couldn't say enough about you.

He mentioned my name.

Terribly proud of you. And like you, he has excellent taste. He looked at a lot

of watches, but he selected a Demaurier.

That's a lot of watch. Yes, it's a bit steep for a fellow just starting out in

business, but he fell in love with it, so I worked out a schedule of payment.

That was very nice of you, Harry. Thank you.

Always a pleasure to accommodate another member of the family.

I love your hat.

Did you get the IDs? That's what's important.

Relax.

They won't need them.

All you have to do is substitute our pictures.

Give me the list of names.

The list.

I'm looking for it.

Thank you.

Oh, thank you, thank you, Stuart.

Couldn't have done it without you.

That's right.

I've been looking all over for you.

Captain Daniels called.

Said he might be a little late for the shindig tonight.

Did he say why?

Well, he said one of his sailors had a little too much to drink.

Slipped and fell in the drink.

Harbor patrol fished him out yesterday.

Needed the captain to confirm the ID.

Well, thanks, Max.

I always dreamed about putting out the sea.

I guess every boy does.

Sooner or later.

You've settled a long way together, haven't you, sir?

From the first time we met at that corner newsstand?

I'll say.

We've still got a long way to go, don't we?

Bet on it.

You know, I've got a lot to be grateful for.

Living and working with the two of you.

Something bothering you, Max?

I'd do anything to see the need that you know, Mrs. Ashkin, sir.

You've always taken wonderful care of me ever since that first corner.

But there's nothing to worry about, Max. I hope you're not setting yourself up

for a fall.

I wouldn't want to see that.

You mean, uh, Maureen?

Look, Max.

Maybe she's my sister.

Maybe not.

But even if she is and I accept her as someone new in my life, I've already got

all the family anyone could ever want.

Jennifer and you.

I love you.

Darling!

Coming!

I'm back!

Hi!

I had a really productive day today.

I finished my article and faxed it to the editor, finalized all the plans for

the reception with Stuart, did 20 laps in the pool and half an hour in the

stairmaster. What did you do?

Nothing much.

Oh, slacker.

Oh.

I bought this chain because I thought you might want to wear the locket to the

presentation. So I stopped by Harry Carlton's.

Thank you, darling.

Harry said that Stuart was in the store.

Really? He bought a Des Moines.

Nice watch.

I didn't know he was doing that well.

Well, he's doing something.

What do you mean?

He used my name to cut a deal with Harry.

Apparently, he made it be known that he's family.

Well, Stuart's young.

He obviously idolizes you and wants to be like you.

Let's just hope it doesn't happen again.

It already has.

Mr. Gans, the manager, just told me downstairs that Stuart applied for a

membership at the health club.

And because there's such a long waiting list, Mr. Gans said he would help

expedite things as a personal favor.

Well, once is all right.

But twice is suspicious.

Right. I can't help thinking how convenient all of this is for Stuart.

Like Max says, maybe we ought or should have taken a look.

Maybe we ought or should have talked to Stuart.

I intend to. First thing tomorrow.

Good.

But tonight...

Instead of going out for dinner, we have something set in.

Are you a slack around the sink?

It's your turn to call.

Room service.

You're impossible. You're tough, you know that?

You're really tough.

So he's completely lost his mind. Now, his real name was Joshua Norton, but

everybody in San Francisco knew him as... Emperor Norton I, sovereign of the

.S. of A.

And so this fine old Nob Hill residence was one of his favorite haunts. She

don't know a squirt, so keep your mouth shut. All right, so we will be back on

the bus in 15 minutes. Next stop, Coit Tower.

Oh, look at that. Hello, sweetheart.

Are you having a good time?

Oh, you're not feeding him sourdough bread, are you?

Thank you for coming, Max.

How'd you know who I was?

Well, Jonathan and Jennifer mentioned you quite a bit. You're very important

them. And Freeway, too.

I wasn't 100 % sure it was you until I saw you feeding him and talking to him

like he understood everything.

He does, mostly.

Well, maybe so, but I got a little suspicious when you started explaining

the cable cars work.

I don't blame you for wanting to know more about me, Max. I would like to know

more about you, too.

We have so much in common. We do?

Like what?

Like Jonathan.

He's been so important to both of us all of our lives.

The only difference is that you've been with him and I haven't.

You know, I gotta admit, you're not the person I expected.

What did you expect?

I don't know, but whatever it was, you ain't turning out to be it.

Well, that is a compliment.

Okay, so put the box on the bar and make sure you don't drop any chocolate. And

smile. Michelle, let's put those in the recycle bins, please. Johanna, smile in

there. Tibby, I need you back inside, huh?

All the champagne needs to go in the back bar, and please hurry. Good God,

that's cold. Back in the oven, now.

Don't let me catch another morsel coming out cold unless it's on ice.

Honey, everything is going fine. Why are you so nervous?

Nervous? Tibby, why should I be nervous? Have you seen the guest list? It's only

a who's who of the Bay Area my entire career rides on this night.

Stuart, the reception is going to be wonderful.

I promise. Okay, right here.

Thanks, Gil.

Thank you for coming.

Russell Becker said to give you this.

Now, it's on Stuart.

It's nothing you don't already know. It's a school records business license.

It's that kind of thing. It's nothing I'm afraid of.

Not yet.

Well, tell him to keep trying, will you, miss?

Nice crowd.

Certainly some of the most generous people in town.

That should mean a lot of support for the Maritime Society.

It better.

I called in every marker I practically have to create this turnout.

Ooh, the hors d 'oeuvres look delicious.

I thought it was a great idea, Stuart, to put the waiters in pirate costumes,

didn't you?

Speaking of pirates, when are we going to finish them?

What? The dream.

What dream? The dream where I save you from the villains and we sail off in the

sunset together.

I'd like to have that last part come true.

Maybe that could be arranged.

Chocolate?

Oh, isn't this exciting?

It's like Sir Francis Drake and the pirates are here and we're a part of it.

Nice fantasy.

You know, when he was a little boy, he used to pretend all the time he would

always be the swashbuckling hero saving the girl at the last minute.

Oh, you see that couple over there? They were on one of my tours. I've got to

say hello.

Bye.

Don't move.

Easy. Easy.

All right, Charlie. All right, Chief.

Go ahead.

Ah!

Don't look back. Keep moving forward.

That's it. Keep moving. That's it.

Come on, Gramps. You got to get along.

I'm expecting it works. Over there, stupid.

What do you think you're doing?

I haven't the fog.

You can't do this. You'll ruin everything.

I didn't know this.

That's a nice watch.

Here, take it.

Thanks.

No, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don't shoot him.

What was that?

Pass it back.

Come on, come on.

Must be inherited anyway.

Hey you.

Most of you people have the money.

Looks like Macy's window. Come on.

Right in the back, stupid.

Look at you, grown dog.

Sit here.

All right.

Keep looking the other way.

Nobody looks back.

You're going to end up like a caterer.

I feel a ratio.

Grab a fart and a rough belly.

What?

Call a paramedic.

Do it. You're so brave. My God, you would have been killed. This wonderful

evening. Ruined. Ruined.

They're taking him to the hospital to x -ray in case he has a concussion. How

are you?

No, I'm fine. I'm fine. My tattoo is more painful than this. By the way, it's

heart -shaped.

What is it, darling?

It doesn't make any sense.

What?

It appears that they never touched the case.

Why wouldn't they?

Open it up, will you, Jeremy?

Nobody plans a robbery this bold and then ignores the thing of most value.

Darling.

What?

Ghirardelli chocolate.

I'm not going to make any statement on behalf of Hart Industries just yet.

Jeremy, cooperate with the authorities, but also get a hold of Russ Becker and

have our security check into this right now. Right, right.

How long have you been awake?

I never went to sleep.

I called the hospital.

Stuart doesn't have a concussion, but they're going to keep him there for a

while for observation.

And how's Maureen?

Maureen?

Max took her home and she's doing fine.

I suppose you've looked at this a hundred different ways.

And it all comes back to the same thing.

Which is?

Which is, it had to be an inside job.

Those coins just can't be fenced on the street. Somebody had to have a buyer.

And they've been working on this for a long time.

The question is who?

I trust Jeremy completely.

And Liz.

And everyone at Harding District.

Yeah, so that leaves the guests, the catering staff, and Stuart.

Now, I know he got hit on the head when he tried to stop the robbers from

leaving, but it still could have been a part of a very clever cover -up.

Clever and painful.

Maureen knew a lot about those gold coins, didn't she?

Yes. Those people come into our lives and suddenly all this happens.

Coincidence or con?

Special gold plated, but not antique.

Oh.

Certainly could have fooled us.

Nice work.

designed by a young San Francisco craftsman who specializes in faux

pieces. Very talented.

You see his initials stamped on the back?

I thought that was a hallmark. His personal signature and the tip -off.

Do you know the artist?

Could you find out when he made that piece?

I'll give him a call right now.

Thanks very much.

I've got the funniest feeling at my stomach.

Really?

You're not laughing.

It's that humorless, I've got a feeling we've been had, sick feeling. He

remembers the locket very, very well.

Sold it to a young man.

Whose name was?

Didn't get the name.

Paid in cash.

You know that feeling you were just talking about.

I think...

What are you looking for?

Tibby, get something out of me. I didn't hear you come in.

I can't find the hiring list for the Explorer Party. Stuart, you know what?

You're involved in this robbery, aren't you?

What?

Why would you even think something like that? Because I know you and you've been

acting weird.

Just trust me, okay?

Tibby, just give me a little bit of time, and I'm going to straighten this

thing out.

Now, listen to me.

Do you remember that couple that left the store? They came in just after

Jennifer Hart left that day. Do you remember them at all?

Yes, I do. You do?

Mm -hmm. Well, did you notice anything about them?

Anything at all?

No. They walked out of here, and they got into a taxi that was waiting for

A taxi? What kind?

Do you remember the name of the company?

Bay City, maybe? Bay City.

Maury Albert, please tell him it's Stuart Moore calling. It's very

need the traits of fair.

We waited half the night.

Where the hell are you? We had a deal.

We hit rough weather.

We won't be in until tomorrow evening.

Yeah, well, we're not sitting here forever.

Unless you want to call the whole deal off and have the San Francisco police

a call.

Damn.

Nobody does business honestly anymore.

Well, I'll kill the dirty, rotten son of a bitch. Oh, right, right. He's out at

sea somewhere and we're sitting here. You can just picture him to death.

What about...

What I meant was when I got a hold of him.

If we get a hold of him, we have $12 million worth of stolen coins. What, you

think we're just going to drive across the border?

No, without that block -long tub to get us out of here, we're stuck.

Well, we'll get a boat somewhere.

And go where?

I don't know.

Somewhere out of the country where it's safe, you know.

He is our only buyer.

Without him, this stuff is worthless.

And I am not about to just sail off to Rio so that I can wind up working some

day job in Ipanema, thank you very much. No.

Go back to the houseboat, and we wait.

Ah! Well, it looks like the IRS enjoys visiting asset reallocation

centers.

Asset reallocation centers?

That is the politically correct name for pawn shops these days.

We're trying to improve our image. So who isn't? It's the 90s.

We want you to tell us about this antique.

Oy vey, the fakakta locket again. I wish I'd never seen it.

So what else is there to know?

The proof.

It's a foe.

That means fake.

Yes. It was made by a local craftsman.

Well, it's a fake nothing.

It's a real copy.

It was sold recently. You said you had it in here over a year ago.

I embellished.

Arrest me.

That could be arranged, Ling.

All right.

Look, a fella comes in here and offers me $300 to donate the locket and some

junk to a charity auction.

To benefit the Mission Street orphanage?

That was the one.

He writes his address in the back of my business card and says, if anybody

should ever come in and ask about the locket, I should send them over. You

showed up.

What's his name?

He didn't give a name.

But you know, he struck me as being the kind of fella that to get somewhere, he

would take three steps out of his way, when one step in the right direction

would have been a lot smarter.

That's the one.

Well, it's been an interesting day so far.

How so?

Goldberg's certainly had Stuart take.

Yeah. And Stuart certainly had us picked.

How could he have known that I'd find that locket at the auction?

Well, your penchant for heart -shaped things is well known. Even Jeremy said

Stuart knew that you'd look at the locket and see the pictures.

And show it to you?

Yeah.

And if you didn't take the bait, he was no worse off than when he started. And

if you did, we'd trace it to Goldberg.

Who'd take us to Stuart? Yeah, who'd take us to Marine, who'd say that I was

long -lost brother.

Which brings us to the part, the bothersome.

That your sister isn't your sister?

No, it just brings up memories of how lonely I was when I was at Mission

Then I met Max and all that ended.

Then you came into my life and I felt that I had all the family I ever needed.

Until now?

You're still all the family I ever need.

I'm happy to report that Maureen's clean as Junior's plate. She's got a little

nest egg and she helps all the gentlemen cross the street.

What are you talking about, Max?

I did a little snooping after I took her home.

Guess what I found out?

Maureen was at the Mission Street orphanage the same year you were, Mr. H.

And she had a brother.

I'm beginning to feel like a yo -yo.

Oh, it's sweet.

Russ, look back at it.

Yeah,

Russ.

Are you sure?

No kidding.

No?

I never would have guessed.

Anything on the coins?

Yeah. Well, keep the pressure up.

Thanks.

Russ checked out, Stuart.

No records, no reputation, no rumors.

Guess who he had coffee with yesterday?

Who? Andy Dillard.

Oh, the accommodating Mr. Dillard from social services.

What brings you guys back here? We have friends in common.

More than friends.

Family.

You know my nephew, Stuart Morris?

You're related to Stuart? I've known him for years. I haven't seen him in such a

long time.

Really?

Then who were you having a cappuccino with yesterday on Fillmore Street?

Shall we cut to the chase?

I... I don't know what you mean.

I... I... Do you see this locket?

It's a fake.

Stuart had it planted because he knew we'd find it. And we're pretty sure that

you gave him the file so he could copy the pictures.

You want to tell us, or do you want to tell the police?

First of all, this was not my idea.

A couple of months ago, I told Stuart that I'd come across your file, the

Jonathan Hart.

I was more curious than anything, but, you know, Stuart, right, talks me into

letting him see it.

How much did he pay you? He got me an autographed jersey from Joe Montana.

I'll bet he signed it himself.

I'll bet.

The next thing I know, he's talking about this wild scheme to get you to

that his aunt is your sister.

And she's not.

Not that I know of.

And then with all the publicity about the coins and your arrival at the

Street auction, right, he starts thinking that this scenario, idiotic as

sound, is possible.

Keeps saying it's his big break.

Is Maureen really his aunt? Oh, yeah, absolutely. You see, she was in the

orphanage, too, and had spoken for years about having a lost sibling, right?

Now, Stuart goes in there and starts feeding her information about you, your

background, your life, and convinces her that it was something she told him

about her brother.

The next thing you know, Mrs. Collier is believing everything that comes out of

his mouth.

Stuart's very persuasive, you know.

He could sell you a very well -known bridge, and it won't be the one from

Brooklyn.

Well, good help is hard to find.

Isn't that the truth?

Do you mind telling us what you're doing here, Stuart? Look, I know what you two

did, and you're not going to get away with it.

You stole my employees' list, put your pictures on the IDs, and used me to

Jonathan Hart's coins.

Do you have some proof?

Me? I'm the proof. I recognize you two.

Sit down, Stuart.

Oh, I don't think so.

Excuse me? Excuse me.

Let's go over things.

We were working for you.

You hired us.

I did not.

I never even met you until that day you came in and stole the address list.

Well, can you prove that?

Look, Jonathan Hart knows everything.

Okay? He knows who you are and where.

But he sent you here alone.

I wonder what he'd do if we told him that we were going to kill his nephew.

He's not my uncle.

Wasn't that you in the paper and the picture with him?

See, you don't understand.

It was all a con.

I convinced him that my aunt was his sister.

You don't believe me? I swear to God it's true. He is not my uncle.

But you told him all about us anyway, and he believed you.

You know, Stuart, I just don't believe any of this. I think that you're up to

your aspic in life.

And I think that the best thing for us to do is just to hang on to you for a

while.

After all, we're not killers.

Hello?

Oh, hello, Mrs. Hart.

It's Tibby. I work with Stuart.

Um, I need to speak with you and your husband.

May I come up? By all means.

Have the front desk show you up. Okay, thank you.

Darling!

We have an unexpected guest.

I'm so sorry to bother you, Mrs. Hart, but it's Stuart.

I'm afraid he's gotten himself involved in something, and I'm very worried.

Oh, well, uh, why don't we begin by your telling us about the locket?

What locket?

How about something to eat?

No, thank you. I'm not hungry.

I meant us, you idiot.

You cook, we eat.

I will not.

You make yourself useful. We've got a long night ahead of us.

We could use some cuisine.

Watch him. I'm going down to the rental office. Yeah, yeah.

I just can't believe he did this.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. He's always scheming.

But I never thought he would do anything like this. And you don't know anything

about this locket? No, I swear.

I believed him just like you did.

He didn't even tell his aunt.

She believes him, too.

She wasn't involved?

Absolutely not. Nothing.

What makes you think that Stuart wasn't in on the robbery?

Everything seems to be connected.

Mr. and Mrs. Hart, you have to believe me. Stuart would never hurt anyone.

I know him.

It's just that he tries so hard to make things happen, and sometimes it doesn't

always work.

I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

He lied to us. He lied to all of us, Tibby.

What he did was wrong, if not illegal. I know.

We have our whole future planned out together.

You two, of all people, should be able to understand that.

Okay, I want you to taste it.

I want to see if there's enough salt in it.

And I can't taste it for you. All right.

Thank you, doll.

It's not bad.

What's the matter? Two spikes?

Moron! Why'd you invite the rest of the neighbors to join us?

What is the matter with you?

I got these people chasing me. Get out of here.

He'll go straight to the cops.

Oh, well.

He'll have a tough time proving he didn't hire us to work for him. No, no.

He'll go to the hearse.

What are we going to do?

Exactly what we were going to do. We wait for the Canadians.

The hearse will go to the cops.

Not if we have Mr.

Hart's long -lost sister.

You are disgusting.

It was originally called Fort Winfield Scott, and it was completed in 1861 to

forestall any possible Confederate sea attack during the Civil War.

Now that you've experienced rooftop ramparts and the dim corridors and the

echoing stairways, I think you'll agree with me that Fort Point would make a

wonderful hide -and -seek playground for the child in all of us. Well, this

concludes our tour. Your coach will take you back. I have my own car, and I will

say goodbye.

Thank you.

Thank you. I hope you had a good time. Have a safe journey home.

Excuse me.

Mrs. Collier, would you mind taking us back inside?

Oh, the fort is closed. I know it's fascinating, but you'll have to come

tomorrow. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Come on, come on, come on.

Twice in one week. This is really getting out of hand.

This whole thing started so simple and then it just got out of control.

It was just a simple little con.

No big deal happens every day. No one was supposed to get hurt. I never wanted

anything except to get near to you. You know, get to know you.

So you could rob us.

No, no, no, no, never that.

I mean, you're Jonathan and Jennifer Hart.

And I just wanted a chance to be a part of your world and get my foot in the

door. That's it.

It's a beautiful plan.

It worked just as it was supposed to. Well, it'll look good on your resume.

You know, I know you don't have any reason in the world to trust me. Not

But I'm telling you the truth.

You haven't told the truth since the day that we first met.

It backfired.

These people saw our picture in the paper and then they used me to get

Didn't you recognize any of these people during the robbery?

Something was familiar, yes, but I wasn't sure, and then, you know, I got

knocked out.

These people would have killed me today if I hadn't escaped.

Well, if you're not the inside man, then who is?

Jeremy, Jonathan, you went to identify a failure in your crew, didn't you?

Well, what did you find out about him?

See what you can find on him.

Call me.

Thanks.

Jonathan Hart.

Jonathan, listen, you were right. He worked in the ship's records. He had

access. He could easily have copied the Providence papers. And he received a

letter about two days before they found him floating in the harbor, setting up a

meeting to tell the Providence to someone else.

Well, thanks, Jeremy. Send me a copy of that letter and see what else you can

find out. I'll get it right off.

Hello?

Jonathan Hart, please.

Uh, one minute.

Hello,

this is Jonathan Hart.

Jonathan, I have someone here who'd like to speak with you.

Who is it?

This is your sister's personal secretary.

Please hold.

All right, make it good, honey.

Jonathan, I'm all right. Would you tell Stuart and Winfield Scott that no one

has attacked, but I'm afraid that they might, and I'm afraid that the

Confederates may come from the sea. All right, get her out of here. Come on,

Looney Tunes.

What a charming sister you have.

A bit off the wall, but... You hurt her.

There's no reason to hurt anyone.

No, we just need you to be patient a little while longer.

Don't call the police.

Don't try to find us, and don't try to stop us.

If you do...

Just take the phone.

Maureen will be all right.

They'll hold her until they try to get away.

But if anyone tries to stop her... They're going to kill her. Well, maybe

should call the police.

No, no, no. You scare those two and they'll kill her for sure. He's right.

Our best bet is to find Maureen ourselves.

What if we bargain with them? Offer to let them go?

No, they're not going to leave a witness.

Oh, my God.

I'm such a fool.

I'm all right. Would you tell Stuart and Winfield Scott that no one has

attacked, but I'm afraid that they might.

Don't shut that off.

Who is Winfield Scott?

And what did she mean about no one attacked yet?

They already got her.

That's it.

A fall from where?

Wait a minute. I caught it from the top of Fort Point. They're going to throw

her off the fort. That is Aunt Maureen's last horse stop of the day, and that

must have been where they grabbed her.

And it used to be called Fort Winfield Scott. It was built as a citadel in case

of a Confederate attack from the bay.

Come on.

You too, genius boy.

What are we going to do?

We aren't going to do anything.

I don't want to take you with us, but I don't trust you to leave you here.

Oh, but you can trust me, sir. I'm the one who got my aunt into this, and I'll

do anything to help you get her out.

You can do me one favor.

You just name it, sir.

Don't call me sir.

Hello.

Yeah, hey, Russ, make it fast, will you? I'm just on the way.

Yeah?

What?

Are you sure?

Oh, right.

Yeah, uh...

Send those copies out to me, will you?

And, uh, thanks, Russ.

All right, we'll wait until dark, then it'll be safer to take her with us. I

have my rights, you know. This is a violation of the Geneva Convention.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

When this is all over, you can file a complaint with the UN.

You see anything?

Some birds doing strange things.

Look down, you idiot!

I don't expect the Harts to just sit by and wait where their dear sister is

concerned. Come on.

Well, you're not afraid of heights, are you?

No, should I be?

All right, you better let me go alone.

I'm not letting you out of my sight. The sides are liable to be watching.

I just hope we haven't made a terrible mistake.

Well, if we have, I'm going to throw myself off the top of the fort if I have

any strength left.

Don't worry. I'll help you.

Hey, do it!

Do it! I've got to do this.

Jonathan?

Timmy, if I'm not back in 20... Oh, never mind. You saw the movie.

Let's not make this any more difficult than it already is, okay?

So I'll be over in a few hours.

Right now, we are going to be here, and we are going to sit and wait.

Now, sit.

Thank you.

Whatever you get for the coins, I'll give you more.

Are we supposed to believe you buy back your own coins and just let it go at

that? I'm only interested in my sister's life.

She's the only family I've got.

I've waited all my life to find her. Don't do this. I don't care about the

or the money. I'll pay you anything you want on it.

Sorry.

We'd have to trust you and wait while you got the money. No, no, I think we'd

better go back to the original plan.

Hey!

In my dream, it was all so easy. And I was the one that saved you.

Well, you'll get another chance tonight.

And with all this fresh air, you're going to sleep like a baby. Jonathan, I

don't know what to say.

Stuart, that is a refreshing thought.

So, so sorry. Can you forgive me? I just wanted to be someone special.

Oh, Stuart, you are special.

If you don't believe it, just look to your left.

Well, I'll be there to remind him if he ever starts to wonder.

Well, to think I almost had a brother like you.

I wish so hard for you.

For him, I think, in my heart, I realized that I never would find my

That's probably why I tried so desperately to believe.

There's nothing wrong with wanting a family, Maureen.

And I got what I wanted, even if it was just for a little while.

It's more than I had a right to expect.

No, it's not.

You should expect everything.

You deserve it.

Especially this.

Oh, my God, you didn't... I did.

Sometimes it pays to have connections.

Right, Stuart?

You found him?

This is incredible.

Could this be true that I found my brother?

And he's right on time.

Although his name is not Charlie anymore, either.

Well, Mr. Hart, I just want to say that it doesn't matter what his name is, he

couldn't possibly be as wonderful as you, sir. And as far as I'm concerned,

you're the most important person that I have ever known.

Oh, my God.

Hello. Excuse me. Jennifer, Jonathan, hello.

Uncle Don.

You must be Stuart.

Yes. You're as nervous as I am.

We've got a lot of catching up to do. Let's get into the car.

This is my girl, Beyonce, Tibby.

Hi, Tibby.

Hello, Mr. Trump.

Okay, inside.

All right.

Jonathan, I owe you one.

Thanks very much, Donald.

Take care.

So, Uncle Donald.

You don't mind if I call you, Uncle, do you?

No. I've got a few ideas I'd like to run by you. We could do lunch on me, of

course. Max, got that little item I asked you for?

Sure thing, Mr. H. Filled it up, too.

Hey!

Oh,

darling.

From my heart to yours.

Darling,

do you think we should take Tony Bennett's advice?

What's that?

Leave our heart in San Francisco.

Well, it would be a good excuse to come back.

Oh,

now.

Let's go see if we can finish that dream.

Do I get to do any swashbuckling?

You never know.
