me. I want to enjoy this.

I have a deadline, Phil.

And I, for the first time in my life,
have a scoop.

Phil, I'm running out of dance steps.
Here. All right, all right, all right.

This is so good.

What?

He's lost a lot of blood.

Vitals aren't good.

BP's 90 over 50 in regular pulse.

Okay, let's get him to trauma two right
away, Will.

Shylendra.

Shylendra.

Shylendra?

Sure would have sounded like.

Yeah.

Tapped him right on the dance floor,
huh?

Must have been some lousy dancer.

How's he doing?

Didn't make it, huh?

Name was Phil Gwynn, apparently a small
-time actor.

Any witnesses?

Nobody saw a thing until he was on the
floor bleeding.

How about the dance partner?

She seems to have vanished.

The bouncer who called it in said he
heard a woman cry out for help, but she

disappeared before he could get a good
look at her.

Pretty blonde, mid -thirties maybe,
that's about it.

Murder weapon?

Large pocket knife.

Forensic says there might be a partial
print on it. They're checking it at the

lab now.

There's not much to go on.

Apparently the guy came in by himself.

The bartender said he ordered a drink
maybe ten minutes before he was stabbed.

Well, he comes in, orders a drink, asks
somebody to dance, and she stabs him to

death. If she didn't, I'll bet you she
saw who did.

Captain?

Sit down, Sloan.

Have you seen this?

Erthonimous kill man in cold blood.

First -hand account from eyewitness. Can
you believe it?

I'm surprised that those wackos at the
National Scoop haven't tried to blame

Kennedy assassination on Earthonomy.

Actually, I believe they have, sir.

You've got to remember, this is the
National Scoop, not exactly a beacon of

journalistic integrity.

Maybe not, but now they're trying to
connect last night's stabbing to the

Earthonomists. You have a weird
reputation.

They're just misunderstood.

Their methods may be a little
unconventional, but all they're really

do is help people help themselves.

It says here that their source was with
Gwyn when he was murdered, but it

doesn't mention any name. It doesn't
even say who wrote the article. Oh, it's

got to be that nutcase reporter with all
those conspiracy theories. What's her

name?

Sharp. Ellen Sharp.

Think she actually found a witness?

Are you kidding?

She's built herself a career making up
junk like that. I don't know, sir. We

didn't find anybody that saw much of
anything.

That's my point, Sloan. For the time
being, she's the only lead we've got.

So we might as well check it out.

We. What was that?

I'll call the newspaper and get her
address, sir.

Good attitude, Sloan.

We are wasting our time.

Ms. Sharp. I'm not saying a word. Go
away. If anything in that article you

is true, I need to get your whole
statement now. If anything is true, it's

true. Yeah, I got a description of your
eyewitness.

Blonde. Pretty mid -thirties. Mid
-thirties?

Miss Sharp, you are your eyewitness,
aren't you?

Mid -thirties?

Look,

Officer... Sloan. Lieutenant Steve
Sloan. These people killed Phil Gwynn to

him up. You think they'd hesitate to
kill me, too?

You're putting me in danger just being
here.

Danger from who?

Oh, wait, don't tell me.

You read the article.

If you actually saw it, you say you did.

I didn't say I saw anything. You may be
the only witness to Phil Gwynn's murder.

I need to get your statement. Not on
your life or mine. No. Fine.

Is that your purse?

Yeah. What are you doing? I'm taking you
in.

If you want to do this the hard way,
it's fine with me. What?

Haven't you heard anything I've said?
You're signing my death warrant. You'll

fine, Miss Sharpe. Look, Officer Stone.

Sloan. Let's be reasonable. Can't we
make a deal here? Yeah, you shut up and

won't cuff you. Okay, let go of me,
okay?

Now do you believe me?

What I believe is you should look both
ways before stepping into the street.

Now, are you going to get in or do I
have to use these? Are you blind?

What kind of cop are you anyway?

Get in. Watch your head, please.

How?

Remember, Lieutenant Stone, my death
will be on your head.

Meg Ryan's new movie's opening today.
You want to see that?

I was asleep when you emailed.

Yeah. I don't think so, Mark. Isn't
there any guy movies?

She just did a guy movie.

Oh, yeah.

I thought she was a little miscast,
though.

Yeah. Hey.

Hi. How was your day?

Lousy. Remember that headcase paranoid
reporter I told you about?

She wasn't any help? Yeah. Claims now
she can't identify the killer. Says she

didn't really see anything.

You believe her?

Well, the captain sure did. He didn't
even hold her as a material witness.

He let her go?

Told her just, uh, don't leave town.

She still think the Earthonomy people
are behind it? You mean that new pseudo

-religious group?

Positive energy and all that stuff?
Yeah.

It's a mishmash of a lot of different
philosophies, really. But in the last

couple of years, this guy Stafford's
built an empire around it.

Best -selling book, thousands of
followers.

Yeah, all paying through the nose for
the honor of being members.

So, Phil Gwynn, the knife victim last
night, was, uh, earthonymous?

I don't think so. And we don't know much
about him yet, but the impression I got

was that he had some hot tips, some, uh,
dirt he was about to give Ellen Sharpe.

The head case reporter?

Exactly.

And they killed him over it? Well, so
she says.

And you still don't have any idea what
the, uh, shillelagh means, then?

Shilendra? Shilendra.

Sounds vaguely familiar, but I just
can't place it.

It could be a name. It could even be a
place.

Could be gibberish.

Yeah. I still think he was trying to
give us something.

Sloan here.

Sloan?

Forensics found a pair of rubber gloves
in a trash bin at the club. Any prints?

Maybe. The thing is, though, I don't
think that these gloves...

Have anything to do with this? I mean,
if the killer wore gloves, why would

there be smudged prints on the knife
handle? Yeah, the prints could have been

left there days ago. And it could have
been left by anyone.

Well, we're running the prints now.
Maybe we'll get lucky.

All right, thanks, Captain. Keep me
posted.

Anything? Some possible prints on the
knife, but nothing conclusive.

Where are you going?

I think I'm going to try out this
Shilendra business on Ms. Ellen Sharp.

The head case. Right.

I think he likes her.

Who? The nutcase reporter.

What makes you say that?

Oh, father's intuition.

Officer?

What's going on? Something happen?

No, Lieutenant, everything's fine.

The captain just decided he wanted to
keep an eye on Miss Sharp.

Around the clock.

Oh, all right. Thanks.

Nobody tells me anything.

Oh, great.

Get in here.

How do you know you weren't followed?

Are you trying to lead them straight to
me?

Lead them straight to... You're in your
own house.

But they don't know who I am. I never
used my name in those articles.

Miss Sharp, I found you.

If they, whoever they are, really want
to, they'll find you too.

Oh, that's reassuring. I wouldn't worry
about it too much. Looks like you've got

plenty of protection.

What?

You know, they may have found some
prints on that knife.

Really? I thought the killer wore
gloves. Yeah, help yourself.

Thanks, I will.

Yeah, Lieutenant Sloan here. I need to
talk to Captain Woodruff.

What can I do for you, Lieutenant?

Captain, I really don't think we need to
waste an officer because of Ellen

Sharp's paranoia.

What are you talking about, Sloan? The
uniform you have stationed in front of

her house, sir.

What? What uniform?

I didn't send anybody over there.

I don't see anyone.

Uh, Captain, if you didn't send him,
then who?

Hello?

Hello?

Sloan?

Sloan? Sloan just went dead.

All right, that's it. Come on, we're
getting out of here now.

I want the whole story, and I want it
now.

I told you the story.

You told me some fairly amusing,
obviously fabricated tales. Now I want

truth. Touchy, touchy.

Miss Sharp, those prints on the knife,
were they yours?

Miss Sharp, if you saw something, you
need to tell me before you become the

prime suspect. Look, I'm not sure what I
saw, but I know Earthonomy is behind

it, and I want to nail the head honcho,
not some hired henchman. You even talk

like that. Like what?

Like you're right.

Look, you said you saw a cop by my
house.

You ever see him before?

No, but that doesn't mean... Oh, and a
cop couldn't be an ergonomist?

Look, I'm sure that was just a
misunderstanding back there. Yeah?

Then why would he go off so fast?

You're so sure the police aren't
involved. Why don't you call your

Tell him where we are.

Don't have an answer for that one, do
you? Just don't rush me, all right?

We've got the house to ourselves. We can
just stay here until I sort this out.

What's that?

Oh, geez, Dad, I thought you'd left.

You know, you could get shot sneaking
around like that. Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Uh, Dad, Alex, this is, uh...

Ellen Sharp, I believe I told you about
her.

Oh, right, the reporter you told us
about. Let's see, what did he call her?

Alex. A bright, sensitive, investigative
reporter?

Yeah, something like that.

Miss Sharp, Mark Sloan.

It's a pleasure.

Listen, Dad, until I check a few things
out, I thought it might be best if Miss

Sharp stayed here with me.

Us, you know, here at the house, if
that's okay. What happened?

Nothing.

At least not what she thinks. It's just
a precaution.

Oh, well, sure. Yeah, it's fine.

Uh, Alex and I got to go to the movies.
I just came back to get my jacket.

Have you seen that gray suede?

The, uh, one you're wearing?

Yeah. Yeah, there's still one.

You two are welcome to come with us, if
you want.

No, I think we're just going to hang
here, thanks.

Did you find anything out about the, uh,
Shilin breath?

Yeah, still working on it.

Hmm.

Okay, well, it was very nice to meet
you.

We'll be, uh, going. Okay. And we'll
just leave you two alone.

Just go, Alex.

What are you doing in here?

I thought you were all settled in the
guest room. I heard a noise.

Miss Sharp.

If you think I'm staying in there by
myself, you're crazy.

Well, I guess you can stay in there and
I'll stay in there.

Wait.

I don't want to be alone.

Oh.

Right.

Well, I guess you could stay in here.

Oh, no, I wouldn't. It's all right.

But it's your bed. I can't have you
sleep on the floor. It's all right. Then

not. I'll just grab my things.

I have an idea.

What's that?

Just make sure you stay on your side.

Okay. Fine.

Just make sure you keep your hands to
yourself.

Oh, yeah. Like I'd be tempted.

Can I ask you a

question? Well, I guess.

Since we're sleeping together now.

If you're so afraid of these people, why
won't you cooperate with the police?

You really think you're going to bring
them down all by yourself?

I was okay until you blew my cover.

When I wrote those articles, I knew that
the Earthonomist had hurt a lot of

people.

But I didn't think they killed anyone.

And then after Phil and tonight, I just
don't know who I can trust.

You always sleep with guys you don't
trust?

The verdict's not in on you yet.

We'll see how the night goes.

Stay here.

Calling this in. Like it or not, I got a
report there. Are you crazy?

Who are you going to call? That was a
cop back at my house, remember?

Yeah, but those other guys sure weren't
cops.

How do you know?

Are you willing to bet your life on it,
my life on it? Your captain was the last

person you spoke to.

Don't you think those guys found us
awfully fast?

He didn't know where I was taking you.

You're not too bright, are you?

I'm just going to call my dad and warn
him not to go home. If that's all right

with you.

Daddy,

are you all right?

What? What is that? Is that the movie?

I can't hear you.

All right.

I'll talk to you later.

I thought that was turned off.

I'm a doctor.

Can I sleep in your fold out tonight?

Steve doesn't want you coming home
tonight, does he? Apparently not.

Don't you like that?

You're not going to call in?

I guess I could wait till the morning.

Thanks.

Same arrangement as before?

There's no comforter here.

Oh, yes, there is.

And I think I can trust him.

She's dead. I'm sorry.

You all right?

You know, you've been really jumpy.

Look, I told you not to come back here.
These guys are dangerous.

You check out the new ventilation system
in my bedroom door?

Really? Look, I'm sorry, but I couldn't
understand half of what you were saying

last night.

I thought you just wanted the house to
yourself, so I waited until you would

have gone to work.

I was hoping Ellen would come back here.
Ellen?

Ms. Sharp. Well, anyway...

Speaking of you two. Two? There is no
two. I found out something's going to

you both very happy. Yeah, but there's
no two. We're not two. It's just one and

one. Okay.

Alex and I went to see Gene Trent's new
movie last night, The Mountain King.

Yes? Well, guess what his nickname is in
the movie?

Mountain King.

Dad, unless you're going somewhere with
this. Of course, the East Indians call

him by his Hindu name, Shailendra.

Gene Trent?

Oh, yeah, big, big fan of Earthonomy.

As a matter of fact, he's one of their
spokesmen, isn't he?

And you mentioned Shilendra and
Fennellon last night, didn't you?

Yeah. And I completely forgot to ask her
about it.

Thanks, Ed.

You got a little jelly in your nose.

What do you mean I can't stay? Haven't
you ever

seen a press pass?

Come on.

Uh, um...

I'm sorry, pal.

She's with me.

Unfortunately.

What the hell are you doing?

And why did you run off with me like
that? I'm on a story.

I'm a reporter, remember?

Oh, yeah, for the National School.

Oh, nice.

So you finally made the Shalanda
connection, huh, Sherlock?

And I am going to check it out. You are
going to stay here. Please, come on.

I'll be really good, I promise. You
know, I ought to lock you up.

Oh, all right. But I am going to do all
the talking. Understood?

So you admit you knew Phil Gwynn?

Yes, of course.

But not very well, I'm afraid. He had a
small part in Mountain King.

Right, he was an actor.

An extra, really. He was in the dance
sequence.

Dance? It was cut out of the film.

Oh, big surprise there.

Excuse me?

Look, you have no idea why someone would
want to kill Phil?

No, none at all.

Like I said before, we were just
acquaintances. I really don't know

about his personal life. You didn't
become friendly during the shooting?

I think he already answered that.

I'm sorry, Mr. Trent. No, it's okay.

Actually, I try to become friendly with
all my cast and crew.

Mr. Gwynn was only with us a day or two,
and while his murder is tragic, I'm

afraid there's not really much more I
can tell you about him.

Five minutes, Mr. Trent.

Well, you've been very helpful, Mr.
Trent. Thank you for your time and

cooperation. If you should happen to
think of anything else... I'll make sure

and call. Thank you.

Very nice meeting you, Mrs. Sharp.

I thought we agreed I'd do all the

talking. Well, maybe I wanted to find
something out today. The subtle approach

obviously wasn't working. How would you
know? You never gave it a chance. The

guy is hiding something. Surely even you
can see that. Well, maybe.

But thanks to you, we're no closer than
we were before.

Oh, yeah, well, Mr. Brilliant
Investigator, you didn't even ask him

Shalandra. Maybe I didn't want to tip
our hand. Did that ever occur to you?

like he doesn't already know we're on to
him. I was just a police officer

conducting a routine investigation.

I just hope I got you and your mouth out
of there before you did too much

damage.

We at Earthonomy must work as a
brotherhood to enlightenment and inner

For when we have peace in our hearts...

We radiate a tranquility into the
environment that reverberates throughout

creation.

Dammit, Kapowski, how many times do I
have to tell you not to interrupt me

I'm writing?

I thought it was of some importance,
sir. Gene Trent is calling. Should I

him you're unavailable?

Uh, no.

No, I'll take the call.

Uh, line three, sir. And if I may remind
you, sir, my name is Natois. No,

whatever.

Brother Gene.

How wonderful of you to call. We've
missed you.

I'm afraid we've got trouble, Bob.

The detective Sloan from the LAPD
stopped by along with that pain in the

reporter Ellen Sharp.

Relax. You've got absolutely nothing to
worry about. We'll take care of

everything down here.

Yeah.

Me too.

I'll call.

Send in Mr. Corcoran.

The situation with Miss Sharp has
acquired a certain urgency.

I don't think there's any doubt that
Phil Glynn was trying to implicate Gene

Trent when he said Shilendra. But, I
mean, why?

And why use his character's name?

I think he was about to tell me when he
was killed.

Green? Please.

You know, a person of me is involved,
which I'm still not totally convinced

What's the connection?

Phil knew I was looking for dirt on
Earthonomy. He said his information

blow things wide open.

You don't like your coffee?

I don't know yet. It's too hot to drink.

We can get you some chipped ice, if you
can't tolerate the heat.

I can tolerate the heat. I just have
enough common sense to wait until things

cool down.

Oh, you have common sense? You know, it
might be a good idea to have another

look at Phil's apartment.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

We didn't need to have another look if
you had been paying attention the first

time. I didn't know then what I know
now, besides... I got a hunch.

Ooh, a hunch.

Is that one of your professional crime
-fighting tools? At least one of us has

some professional tools.

You know, assuming that Earthonomy is
behind all this, it might not hurt to

learn a little more about them. I can
tell you almost anything you need to

Yeah, more, probably. I heard that.

No, I was thinking more from the inside.

For eternal peace and universal wisdom.

Welcome to Earthonomy World...

What are you doing?

I thought I told you to wait in the car.

I didn't want to. Everybody I see looks
like an orthonomist.

All right, just don't touch anything.

What are we looking for?

I'll know when I find it.

You check this out.

That look familiar?

Trent had a photo just like that in his
trailer. Yeah, I noticed.

The same woman, wearing exactly the same
bathing suit.

You think he was taken at the same time?

Very good.

So, he was, uh, lying.

You think they took a little vacation
together?

Well, we'll probably find out.

See, this is a chartered boat. There's
got to be records.

Oh, well, it'll take time to get our
hands on it. It's okay.

Give me another chance to have a little
chat with Mr. Trent.

Oh.

Let's go. Oh, no, you don't. I'll do it
alone this time, if you don't mind. But

you can't. Oh, yes, I can.

And if you don't want me to lock you up,
you will stay in the motel until I say

otherwise.

You'll be safer there anyway.

Thanks,

Officer Stone.

I didn't know you cared. I don't. I just
need you to testify against these guys.

Dr. Sloan.

My name is Natwa.

Natwa? I am to be your guide.

Interesting name.

When one reaches the fifth plateau and
becomes a full member of Earthonomy, he

is given an Earth name to celebrate his
rebirth.

Natwa is mine.

Kind of like your Shalendra, huh?

Yes, exactly.

One of our more famous members,
Shailendra, has been very helpful in

the universal word of Mother Earth.

He is also a great friend to Mr.

Stafford. They're very close.

You know, I saw his last movie.
Wonderful.

Must have been pretty lucrative for the
organization, too. I was reading in the

form there that each member must donate
25 % of his total income to the

organization. That would be a
considerable amount for Mr.

Shailendra's concern, wouldn't it?

Earthonomy does require a total
commitment, Dr. Slough.

Are you prepared for that?

Yes, financially and spiritually.

When can I start going to the meetings?

There are a few tests you must undertake
first.

Please. Simply to establish how grounded
you are to Mother.

What kind of tests are they?

Nothing to worry about.

Does this measure the beta and the alpha
wave?

Just flap a little faster, please,
Doctor.

I'm getting a little bit of a headache.

We're almost done.

I'm trying to determine how grounded I
am. Why am I trying to fly away?

Oh, you are doing fine.

Oh.

What? Sorry.

Yeah. Yeah.

Sloan! Hey, Dad, it's me.

I got a break on that Trent thing. I'm
headed over to the studio right now. I

thought you might want to be there. Oh,
good. Yeah, I would like to.

I'll meet you there.

Listen, I'm awfully sorry.

Something's come up.

We'll have to retest you anyway. Your
cell phone most certainly ruined it. Oh,

I'm sorry.

I'll certainly come back as soon as I
can.

I'm going to suck my socks right off.

Oh, here. Thank you.

Okay. I'll be back real soon.

Promise.

You don't want to know.

What about Trent?

Apparently, he took off right after
Ellen and I left.

The assistant director I talked to said
he's not in the lot. They can't reach

him at home. They had to shut down
production for the day. He just

I don't buy that.

Ellen spooked him.

What's he running from?

My hunch is right. Trent had a thing
going with Phil Gwynn.

You mean the thing thing?

There's been rumors about Trent.

My guess is he got tired of Gwen and
dumped her. Gwen went to the press to

the beans in revenge.

The folks at the autonomy wouldn't like
that.

They said Trent up as their poster boy.
I bet he brings in a lot of followers.

So they killed Gwen to shut him up.

And they think Ellen knows.

Yeah.

Come on.

Not again.

Where could she have gone? I don't even
want to think about it.

Sloan here.

Steve, it's me. Don't talk. Just listen.

I'm at Earthonomy headquarters.

I snuck in. I may have found something
we can use.

Hold up.

Ellen.

That's it. I'm going to kill her.

What? She snuck into Earthonomy
headquarters.

Just one little problem.

I don't think I can get back out.

All right, don't do anything.

Just stay put. Stay on the phone and
hide.

Come on. You know, get to her before
they do. She is dead.

Oh, hello, not one.

If it's all right, I would like to take
my son on a little tour of the

facilities. Where are you?

Records. Behind the third round room on
the left.

On the left?

Facing which direction?

Just hurry.

I'm sorry, gentlemen, but neither of you
has been fully tested yet.

And these cell phones, I am afraid they
are unacceptable.

They may disturb the balance of power in
the inner sanctum.

There's a balance of power just fine,
pal.

Gentlemen, gentlemen, you're
trespassing.

Unless you have a warrant, you're going
to have to leave immediately.

I'm terribly sorry. We didn't mean to
intrude.

This is going to sound a little odd, but
I got a call from a friend who seems to

have gotten lost in here.

Lost? No, I'm afraid that's not
possible. We do have security.

Where's the records office?

Well, access to records is limited
strictly to earthonomy personnel. Look,

friend was simply lost in here, you
wouldn't have any reason to detain her,

would you? No, no, of course not. But as
I say, that's not possible.

Mr. Stafford?

Well, there she is, lost, just like I
said.

Let her go. She was trespassing. Yeah,
I'll be sure and give her a ticket.

Well, all's well that ends well, I
guess. If no objections, we'll be going.

No, no, of course not. Quick minds like
yours are always welcome here.

Please, come back and finish your
testing as my personal guest. Thank you.

looking forward to it. And, Detective,
your captain was just on the phone.

Captain Woodruff called here?

Actually, no. I called him.

He'd like to see both of you in his
office tootsuite.

Out now.

Are you totally out of your mind?

Those people want you dead. I was
wearing a disguise.

What, are you supposed to be a bag lady?

It got me in, didn't it?

Besides, for your information, Mr.
Brilliant Detective, I had their enemies

right in my hands. So what? You can get
that on their website. It is no big

secret.

Yeah, their dead enemies list. Did you
know that several other ex -members who

were causing problems died in mysterious
accidents?

Right, accidents.

Do you have any proof?

Any evidence of any kind?

I did, but I hadn't gotten caught and
lost those files just now.

What do you think would happen to you if
we hadn't shown up?

I would have thought of something.

Oh, you think I need you?

Need me?

What you need is a good... You know,
they have an excellent class in here on

communications. Why don't you give it a
try?

No way.

You thought

I was an earthonymous?

You waited all this time to come in here
because you thought I was an

earthonymous? Sir...

I had to be cautious.

I knew you didn't want me to do anything
to jeopardize Ms.

Sharp's well -being. You see a book on
my desk, and you immediately jump to the

conclusion that I'm one of them?

You know, when the call came in from
Stafford's people, I knew you two were

involved.

You're just lucky I was able to smooth
things over, Sloan.

What the hell were you thinking?

Well, it's just that you did seem kind
of defensive about her economy, and then

somebody had me thinking these people
could be anywhere.

It's like invasion of the body snatchers
or something.

I guess I got kind of paranoid.

Well, if what you say about him is true,
I guess you had every right to be

careful.

I have to admit, they do give me the
creeps.

So, you believe us?

Well, somebody posed as a cop at your
house, somebody broke into Sloan's

and somebody killed Phil Gwynn. Your
problem is convincing me that any of

is connected with Earthonomy.

At this point, the only connection seems
to be Gene Trent.

I think our only hope is to find Trent
and turn up the pressure.

I think he'll cut a deal to save his
macho hero image. Well, you haven't seen

that, then, have you?

Movie star Gene Trent announces his
marriage to rock star Julie Davis?

You've got to be kidding. He ran out and
got married? Well, he, or they, covered

his butt.

No one's going to buy that gay angle
now. Those photos on that yacht, they

prove anything.

So that's it.

We're at a dead end.

No, we're not.

We're not?

Here's your killer.

Now all you have to do is find out who
paid him.

What are you talking about?

What is this?

It's a personnel file. I took it from
their files an hour ago.

I recognized him. He was at the club.

Why didn't you show me this before?

I was going to.

You're, like, such a jerk.

You said you didn't see the killer. No,
I said I didn't see him stab Bill.

But he was there, and he was after us at
your house, too. You didn't see him

killed, Gwen. I'm telling you, he was
there.

He looked me right in the eyes after he
murdered Phil.

I saw him throwing something in the
trash. It looked like he was taking off

gloves.

You saw him, Steve. He was at your
house. You knocked him out cold.

Oh, I don't know. The guy still had
goggles on.

So, you don't have a positive ID.

Why didn't you just tell us this before?

I had to get evidence tying him to
Earthonomy.

Haven't you heard anything I've said
before today? I couldn't prove it.

It's worth checking out.

All right.

I'll run a check on Corcoran. Maybe
we'll turn up something.

Meanwhile, Miss Sharp.

Oh.

You're right.

You're the professionals here.

I guess it's time I let you handle it.

And you'll just... Stay out of the way.
Oh, come on. I've caused you enough

trouble.

And I'm sorry if I've seemed
unappreciative.

Look, why don't you give me a call after
you've wrapped this up and we could

start over.

I have a story to tell.

Mr. Stafford, this is Ellen Sharp at the
National Scoop. Do you mind telling me

how you got this number, Ms. Sharp? I'm
a reporter, remember?

I have my sources.

So why are you calling me?

Our presses roll in two hours.

I'm ready to print the final segment of
my story on Earthonomy. I'll be naming

names, including yours and Gene Trent's,
in connection with the murder of Phil

Gwynn. So what do you want, my denial?

No, I just want you to know there's
still time left to avoid this.

Are we talking some kind of deal?

I'm listening.

Why would you be willing to do that?

I'm sick of working for a rag like the
National Scoop. I'd rather make some

money. I'd also like to be around to
spend it.

So you do have a practical side after
all. What kind of money?

I was thinking seven figures.

Seven figures?

You've got two hours.

You have two hours.

You know where she lives.

Sprite. Hold it.

That's what I call grounding.

Nice job, Fabio.

Yeah.

Ready for a phone call?

I don't think Mr. Corcoran's going to
call unless you're his lawyer.

What are you talking about?

Corcoran was just arrested for the
murder of Phil Gwynn.

So, what's that got to do with me?

You sent him to murder Phil and me.

What, for writing an article? And what
reason could I possibly have for killing

someone I don't even know?

Well, we were close to the target. We
were just a little bit off. We thought

that Gwynn was going to reveal he'd had
an affair with your star, Jane Trent.

You thought I'd kill someone to protect
Gene's image? Please.

Well, not to protect him, no, but
yourself and protect this empire.

Yeah. We found out that Gwen crewed on a
Penelope. The boat you chartered? As it

turns out, Gwen was going to tell us
about Trent's affair with you, not

Of course, then it ruined Trent as your
poster boy. And how would it look for

the head of Earthonomy to be
manipulating his disciples and sleeping

You can't prove any of this.

Well, actually, we can. We found some
rather interesting evidence in the home

your associate, Mr. Corcoran.

These are pictures of you and Trent on
the Charter Yacht Penelope. A few other

shots there.

Evidently, Mr. Corcoran hid those away
as insurance.

And at this point, he's very anxious to
make a deal.

You wanted to see me, Dr. Sloan? Oh, Mr.
Knott, well, thank you. Mr.

Knott was agreed to testify about your
affair with Mr. Trent.

You?

testify against me, you'll rot in hell.
I think not, Brother Stafford. As I have

often heard you say, I am simply trying
to help you to cleanse yourself of your

bad karma, your negative energy.

I own you!

No, no, no, no. Your Holiness, that's
very brotherly.

You're under arrest for the murder of
Phil Gwynn and the attempted murder of

Miss Ellen Sharp.

you really think I was brave?

I already said I did. Don't push it. Oh,
you're just jealous.

It was all my idea.

Hey, I thought you guys would like to
see this.

Oh. Robert B. Stafford, Earthonomy
founder, indicted for murder.

Yes! It says there that the foundation
claims that Stanford operated on its

so pending further investigation,
they're going to continue under the

of not what? Do you believe that? They
never missed a beat.

Figured. There's just too much money
involved.

Well, don't worry.

I'm not done with them yet.

What else does it say? Oh, not much.

Yeah. Oh, what's this?

National scoop reporter Ellen Sharp
given credit for uncovering Earthonomy

murder plot.

Right, all by herself. Despite repeated
attempts on her life, intrepid reporter

Sharp managed to snare millionaire
Robert B. Stafford. Oh, please, like the

police had nothing to do with it. Oh,
poor baby.

You need some credit?

How about I write an article about Mr.
Big Hero Cop?

We can get a shot of you in your wig.

No, don't even think about it.

Now, you see, this is better. You're
getting along. There's no arguing.

There's communication here.

Yeah, I told you if you just give it a
try, it would work.

You know, I think I'll go get my drugs.

Don't run off. The Fugitive is next.

PBS Sunday, making miracles happen.

It's a tough job, but somebody's got to
do it. I consider it a duty. Good

answer, baby.

Touched by an angel. Then, having an
affair with attorney Tom Capano was her

first mistake.

Trying to leave would be her last.

Been looking for a missing girl.

And never let her go.
