Mr. Webster?

Webster?

Mr. Webster?

♪♪

Don't shoot.

Don't shoot.

We surrender.

Hey, Joe-Joe!

Catch!

Beautiful! You haven't
lost your touch at all!

And I didn't think
he would come.

Well I'll be... Diana!

Oh, welcome to
the reunion, darling.

- Reunion?
- That's right, Joe.

All the ghosts are here.

Good to see you, Alex.

Now what better place for a
reunion of the Silver Ghosts?

That's right, Joe.
In a ghost town.

A lot of pollution's gone under
the bridge since our final game.

How've you been, Ross?

Hey, why this phony telegram
from Mr. Webster? Who's he?

Webster? You don't
recognize Webster?

Come on Joe-Joe.

Webster U, huh?

Thirteen to seven...
the last game?

Yeah, we... we sent
you that fake telegram

because we figured you
wouldn't come to a reunion.

Alex wanted to make sure of you.

It's no reunion without
the team captain.

Lesley!

Come here. I want
you to meet Joe Mannix.

Joe, this is my wife Lesley.

I'm the outsider around here.

But I've heard about
you. You're a legend.

You see the
buildup you get, Joe?

Joe never needed a buildup.

You're looking good,
kid. Haven't changed a bit.

Coming from a doctor,
that's encouraging.

And encouragement calls for a
drink. Let's belly up to the bar, boys.

Alex thought of everything.

We've got cocktails
set up in the saloon.

Then we're going
to ride to Vegas.

Alex has reserved the entire
eleventh floor at the Monarch.

Hal, how are you?

Just fine. How are you, Joe?

Fine.

Okay, everybody... up to
the bar... Name your poison.

Come on, drinks
are on the house.

Of course, it's Alex' house.

- What'll it be, Joe?
- Scotch if you've got it.

If you can pronounce
it, we've got it.

Well, then make
it two, make it two.

Hey! Hey, where did
you get the picture?

Hey, now isn't that great?

Yeah.

Hey, Joe-Joe, look at that, huh?

Look at that block.

That's me... is
that beautiful, huh?

There I am, not doing
a whole lot of good.

And look at Ross... on his
knees, as usual. Right, kid, huh?

And there's Thorney.

Ah, you know I'll
never forget that play.

Yeah nobody ever will, if our right-end
Alex has anything to say about it.

You got to listen to this, Joe.

The score is 7 to 6...

Only eighteen
seconds left to play.

Western's in big trouble now... on their
own 44... third down and seven to go.

The ball is snapped. Thorne fades
back to pass. He looks for his receiver.

Alex Stevens out there
deep in Webster's territory.

Thorne's in trouble now. He
laterals to number 12, Joe Mannix.

Thorne is down, but
Mannix is running for daylight.

Two beautiful blocks
by Carlson and Shatner.

Mannix is threading his way
through, breaking tackles.

He's down to the
10, the 5, touchdown!

Joe Mannix!

Beautiful run, ladies
and gentlemen.

They're lining up
for the extra point...

and it's good!

There's the gun,
ending the game 13 to 7.

Last game of the season for
the undefeated Silver Ghosts.

Yay.

What a game.

Hey, Alex, why
isn't Thorney here?

Well, he just never
answered the wire.

Well, at least he's still alive.

Werner was killed in Vietnam,

Robertson in a plane crash,

Donald... car accident.

I guess three dead out of eleven
isn't bad after fifteen years, huh?

Gee, the conversation's
getting morbid. Alex.

I want everybody
to sign this poster.

Sure, all the survivors.

I thought I'd had it
with all his scrapbooks.

Now I have this
mural to live with.

Hey now, look, you're
not really serious.

Are you really going
on to Vegas from here?

We've got a bus parked out back.

Sure, I'm the chauffeur.

Alex is calling the
plays this evening,

and I'm running
interference behind the wheel.

Rah, team, rah.

Hold that line.

While you're
holding, I'll get mine.

Well, I must say your husband
hasn't changed much, Mrs. Carlson.

Lesley.

And nothing changes, Joe.

Will you just take it a little easy,
love. We've got a long way to go.

I'm just preparing
for Alex' banquet.

Joe, you got to take
a couple of days off.

I just got a new
Catamaran... a real flyer.

Yeah, and I thought you
people in the aerospace business

were having a rough time.

The industry's
been hurt pretty bad,

but we've been able to
keep the old team together.

And Tom is still your lawyer.

He still handles all our work, but he
has his own office with five other lawyers.

Well, you know, during a recession,
lawyers and undertakers always do well.

Yeah, right. And,
Ross, what about you?

You, uh, in
business for yourself?

No, no. Alex' advertising
department is all I can handle.

That isn't what I hear.
According to rumors,

he's interested in a few
other things besides business.

Hal, write a prescription
on the picture, huh?

You wouldn't take
the one I have in mind.

A physician, like a prophet, is
without honor among his own friends.

Boo.

You're next, Joe.

Mm. Coming up.

Oh, well... "Long
may they live." Hmm.

I'll drink to that.

You'll drink to anything.

I thought you were
always too busy to notice.

Well... now everybody's noticed.

Sorry, all.

Oh, that's all right,
Tom, uh, no harm done.

My signature always looked
better smeared anyway.

That's true.

That takes care of the
whole group except you, Ross.

Oh, and Thorney.

Say, by the way, uh, you said
you sent Thorney a telegram.

Isn't he still working for you?

No.

Anybody want a refill?

Hey, wait a minute.
What's the big mystery?

Well, Thorney's
been a pretty sick guy.

Sick? How?

Alex sent him to a psychiatrist...
A rest home for a while.

You know how
moody he always was?

He was much worse at the plant.

Thought his designs
were being stolen.

Never did take a vacation... always
there, suspicious of everybody.

What he did was,
he hated our guts.

Now I have begged Alex for years to pension
him off, but no, no, he feels obligated.

We are all obligated.

His patents on the
antitorque gear got us started.

He is entitled to royalties,
not to destroy our business.

Thorney wanted to be head of
engineering, so Alex gave it to him.

And then he had to take him
off of every project he put him on.

He's a brilliant engineer.
But that's not what he wants.

No, he still wants to be leader.

Well, let's change the subject.

You know, you really do look
great, Joe. You haven't changed a bit.

Oh, my God!

Take it easy, Ross.
Here, here, here.

Oh.

Diana, go back inside!

Hal needs his
medical bag in the bus.

I'll get it!

I won't need it now, Joe.

He's dead.

Oh, my God.

Joe?

- Where you going?
- To call the police.

- You have a mobile phone in the car?
- That's right.

Why don't you stay here? You're
better equipped to handle this emergency.

These people are near panic.

I'll make the call.

- Do you know how to use it?
- Oh yeah, sure, sure.

Any of you know who
smokes this brand?

It's Thorney's brand.

The smell used to
drive me up the wall.

Well I... I talked
with the sheriff.

He's got a car on the way.

You, uh, find something?

Yeah, I found this cigarette
smoldering out front.

It's Turkish.

Thorney, huh?

Let's talk about Thorney.

What exactly was wrong with him?

That!

It started then...
do you remember?

That pileup in
the first quarter?

Thorney was on the bottom.

Coach wanted to take him out.

And he was ready
to kill the coach.

That's right.

It was his last game...
His last chance for glory.

Nothing was going to stop him.

He was hurt then.

He was hurt worse in this fall.

The damage didn't seem too bad at
the time, but he always blamed it on us.

Well, if he got your telegram,
he knew where you'd be.

Could he have hated
Ross enough to kill him?

Any one of us.

But it was Ross who was killed.

Why?

What could Ross have
done to Thorney to deserve it?

Well, somewhere we've all got
someone who would like to kill us.

They're like children...
the games they play.

And what kind of games
do you play, Lesley?

Well, it should take the police about
three quarters of an hour to get here.

Be dark by then.

Yeah, and once it's dark, the killer
could shake up a whole squad of police.

If we're going to get him at
all, we've got to get him now.

- What do you mean, stage a manhunt?
- That's right.

We're going to search this whole
town. Now, has anybody else got a gun?

Well, we've got this starter's
pistol, but it only shoots blanks.

Then mine's the only one.

All right, now, we're
going to cover everything.

Alex, you and Diana take this
street. Stay close to the buildings.

Tom, you and Lesley take this
street and do the same thing.

Hal and I will cover this area.

Now, don't take any chances.

If you hear or see anything
suspicious, just yell. You got it?

My lovely wife is in no
shape to look for anything.

Hal and I will go. Hal,
you go there. I'll take the...

Lesley, you better
stick with me.

Look over there.

They hate you too, Joe.

The team!

Why is that?

Well, you go your own way.

You do your own thing.

Alex isn't the only one that
has a thing about the team.

They all have.

Joe!

Where are you?

By the stable!

Stay here.

What is it?

Diana thought she
heard somebody in here.

You stay right here.

Well, there was nobody.

Must have been the wind blowing
against the door or something.

When you finish, get
back into the saloon, huh?

It was nothing.

You're a nice guy, Joe.

One outsider to another?

You know, ah, you don't seem
very eager to join the team, either.

Well, there's
nothing over there.

I guess he must have made
it back out into the desert.

On foot?

Well, there's nothing but empty buildings,
creaking doors, loose floorboards.

But I guess that's
reasonable in a ghost town.

The sun's below the horizon.

From now on, we're going
to lose the light pretty fast.

And there's a killer loose in town,
and soon it'll be too dark to find him.

What we need is a helicopter.

Hey, Joe.

Where you going?

I'm going to call the Highway Patrol and
request a helicopter search of this area.

All right, Tom, what's the joke?

Take a look over there, Joe-Joe.

Oh!

Joe, you forgot about our drama
club production of Robin Hood.

Remember... when
you rescued Maid Marian

and killed the wicked
Sheriff of Nottingham?

You know you
cost me 100 dollars.

I figured you'd be on
to us in five minutes.

It was just a joke, Joe.

We wanted to see how a
Private Detective really works.

And Hal didn't call the police.

Well, it seems I've
forgotten the first rule...

- Make sure there's been a crime.
- Ah.

Well, we figured with the doctor
pronouncing me dead, you'd buy it.

Children.

You're not mad, are you, Joe?

Oh, no, no, no. I think
it's a very funny joke.

I really enjoyed
the class reunion.

Do me a favor, will you?

Take me off your mailing list.

Joe, the party's just beginning.

Your party, Diana.

In the real world,
Joe has work to do.

Thanks, outsider.

So long, class.

- It's been great.
- Ah, Joe, we're sorry.

- Aw, come on, Joe, it was a joke.
- Joe.

- It was a joke.
- Come on.

You used to have a better
sense of humor than that.

- Come on, Joe.
- It's ridiculous.

Still part of the joke?

We wouldn't kid
about a thing like that.

Oh, come on,
there's a line between

destruction of property
and a practical joke.

No.

My gas tank shows empty.

I just filled it
thirty miles back.

No, Joe. Honest.

A ghost?

You came back, Ross.
You think the gas will?

Joe, we wouldn't go that far.

I want to get out of here.

Why would anybody
do a thing like this?

I think it is time we left.

We'll take the bus to Vegas and send
a service truck back for your car, Joe.

If your bus will get you back.

- The bus?
- You're right!

Nobody's going anyplace tonight.

Who would do this?

Why would anyone want to
keep us here in the desert?

We'll let the police worry about
that. This time I'll make the call.

By the way, where's Hal?

- Hal?
- Hal? I don't know.

Hal.

- Hal?
- Hal?

- Hal?
- Hal!

- Hal?
- Hal?

- Hal?
- Hal?

Hal!

Oh, no!

Joe!

This time it's no joke.

He's dead.

There I was lying under that
thing a few minutes ago... for a joke.

Honey, will you take it easy?

Just this once stay sober
so I don't have to carry you?

Not even in a box?

That's not funny.

I didn't think any of this
was funny, remember?

Let's stop fighting.

What are we going to do?

Well, first thing we'd better
do is prepare for night.

Why don't you check
the lanterns, Tom?

Ross, why don't you see what you
can do about shuttering the windows

- and check all the doors, huh?
- Right, Joe.

Joe, how are we
going to get out of here?

Well, I'm working on it.

Tom, you better not light that until
we get some bonfires set up outside.

We don't want to
be targets in here.

Now, with enough fires out there,
we'll have a good field of vision.

We'll set up a schedule of
watches throughout the night.

There's also a chance that
a Vegas plane flying over

- might spot the fires and report it.
- Let's get some wood, then.

- I'll help.
- And I'll cover.

Tom has got the first watch.

I'll take the second,
and then you relieve me.

- If anybody sees anything, call out.
- Alex!

Here. Some water, someone.

Thank you.

Here.

- His heart?
- Diana?

It's Hal's prescription.

He'll be all right in a minute.
It's... It's just all the excitement.

Poor Alex, he wanted
this party so badly...

A reunion and all
his friends together.

It's going to be a
long night, Lesley.

We're going to need everyone.

Thanks for the
vote of confidence.

You'd better depend
on Diana instead.

She's able to take care of
everything and everybody.

You said the team resented
me because I go my own way.

You seem to resent
the team. Why?

Joe?

Yeah, I hear it.

Stay under cover!

There he is.

Yeah, but he's too far away.

Now what?

We'll just have to wait
until morning, then walk out.

Well, this isn't the reunion dinner we
had planned, but it's better than nothing.

Better tell me a little
more about Thorney.

It was like I said.

He's hated us ever since...

That's ridiculous,
it was only a game.

Not to Thorney. He was a
kid with a lot of hang-ups.

He's always resented us because he
figured we had some kind of unearned edge.

All Thorney had
was speed and guts.

I've heard about the
game for a long time,

but I... I really don't
understand what happened.

Thorney claimed he called
for the ball to go to me.

I was to start a fake end run
and then lateral him the ball

when the defense was sucked in.

Nobody else heard
it called that way.

In a game you
get pretty excited.

Thorney isn't the first quarterback
to have called the wrong play.

Joe made that run and
scored that touchdown.

I just can't believe it
meant that much to Thorney.

Joe, you don't know.

He never quit talking about it.

He thought that the
team liked you so much

that we double-crossed
him and gave you the play.

Look, it's ridiculous for one guy to
keep the whole group pinned down.

I was closest to him.

If there's one of us
he won't hurt, it's me.

Ross!

Thorney, I want to talk to you.

Go back, Joe. He'll
think we're crowding him.

All right, but I'll
keep you covered.

Thorney!

Thorney, it's me, Ross!

I'm alone!

I want to talk to you!

Thorney?

Thorney?

My... My leg, Joe.

What happened?

I saw him, Joe.

He tried to kill me.

Pulled this over on me
and ran out the door.

We better get you back
to the saloon. Come on.

- All right?
- Yeah.

- Take it easy.
- Ross!

- He tried to kill me.
- Who, Thorney?

Yeah, I saw him.

Let's take a look at that leg.

Just sit down right here.

Well, I... I don't
think it's broken,

but there's nothing we
can do about it anyway.

We don't have a
doctor, remember?

Oh, I'm sorry, Alex.

I think we better all stick
together. He picks off stragglers.

I'll... I'll take the watch.

I may be out of action, but
there's nothing wrong with my eyes.

Here.

- Alex?
- Alex?

Sorry. I'm just a bit dizzy.

You better lie down.

Here you are. Put
your head back on that.

A regular Florence Nightingale.

How long has this been
going on? How sick is Alex?

How long have they been married?

She's got her eyes
on you now, you know.

I know the signs. Oh,
how I know the signs.

Tom was last year.

He's a weak man.
He... He liked his job.

He was afraid to,
afraid... afraid not to.

She winds Alex
around her little finger.

Tom figured, if he was going
to get fired, why not enjoy it?

I guess they all did.

All?

What about Thorney?

I don't know.

A psychotic would
have appealed to her.

On the other hand, maybe
she's what drove him crazy.

To Diana... the girl
who made the team!

Does Alex know?

There isn't much Alex misses.

Do you mind sharing
some of that with me?

My leg's beginning to throb.

I'll get it for you.

Look, I've had enough of this.

I'm not going to wait till morning.
I'm going to walk into Vegas now.

It's thirty miles, and
it's pitch dark out there.

You know how
far thirty miles is?

Look, I was in good enough shape to
climb the Matterhorn three years ago.

I think thirty miles over
level ground will be a breeze.

People get lost in the desert.

People get lost at a bar.

Tom, we've had enough
heroics for the night.

I'm being a coward, Joe.

Out there, I can duck. In here, we're
all right in the center of the target.

We need help. Is
there an alternative?

I guess not unless
we could all go,

and Ross' leg wouldn't
get him to the edge of town.

Alex in his condition.

I don't think the girls could
make thirty miles in the desert.

Someone's got to stay
here and protect them.

You're the only one
that can handle a gun.

Come on. I'll be back in
the morning with the cavalry.

It just might work.

All right, I'll create a diversion
out front. You go out the back way.

- Watch yourself.
- Sure... the old end around.

See you, Joe-Joe.

Thorney!

Thorney, I want to talk to you!

Thorney, nobody's
going to hurt you!

Believe me, Thorney,
nobody wants to hurt you!

You'd better get back inside,
Diana. It's not safe out here.

Well, there seems to be
a little danger everywhere.

Yeah.

You know for a
group of close friends,

there seems to be a
lot of tension going on.

Well, maybe that's
what went wrong.

I mean, you know,
like an atom bomb.

You get a critical mass
together, and it just explodes.

Hmm.

I'd say you were helping things
along a little with Hal and Tom.

Oh. Well, before you stone me,

maybe you could just
weigh the critical mass a little.

You see, Alex is very ill.

He has been for a long
time, and I've been lonely.

Believe it or not,
you get to the point

where you take whatever
happiness there is, whenever you can.

Look, I'm not excusing myself,
and I'm not asking you for anything.

Joe, you remember the fun
we used to have in college?

Yeah.

You know, with you, my whole
life might have been very different.

I don't think you ever... ever knew
how much in love with you I was.

Get inside!

What happened?

I, uh, I scared him off
with the starter pistol.

All right, let's go.

Here, I'll give you a hand.

What happened?

I heard Thorney at the
side, and I went out the back,

and the starter's
pistol scared him away.

Ross, are you sure
it was Thorney?

Well, no, I'm not sure,
but who else could it be?

What are you getting at, Joe?

You... You think it's one of us?

You're accusing Tom.
He's the only one out there.

You mean maybe Tom circled back?

But why?

Yeah, why?

Oh my God, no!!

He's going to kill us all!

Lesley, don't you think you'd
better come in the other room?

It doesn't make any sense.

If Alex had killed him, there'd
have been some reason.

But for some man to hold a grudge about
a game that was played fifteen years ago...

So many times I wanted him dead.

Now I'm just numb.

It's like surviving
an atomic attack

and then breaking your
neck on a banana peel.

Come on, Lesley.

No.

I like the company here better.

We're all her victims, no
matter who does the killing.

Alex wanted a divorce.
Did you know that?

She ran off with Ross to Hawaii.

Alex asked Tom to
start divorce proceedings.

But she got around that.

Yeah.

He forgave her and Ross.

He forgave all of them.

None of them
even lost their jobs.

I'm tired, Joe.

Lesley.

Les...

Joe!

Ross saw Thorney out there.

This time there was no mistake.

I saw him in the moonlight,
as plain as could be.

It's me, Joe!

I thought I told
you to stay inside.

I'm sorry. Joe, Alex
made us promise

to come out and at least
try and help you find Thorney.

Joe, he's panicked. He's
sick, and he's frightened.

Where did that shot come from?

I thought it was you.

Did you get him?

It wasn't me.

Alex!

Oh, no.

Alex.

What happened?

It's Alex.

So it was Alex all the time.

Is this his rifle?

Yes.

He bought it for the safari
in Kenya about a year ago.

Diana, had he ever
talked about suicide?

Yes, but I thought
he was all over that.

And I thought he just
learned to live with the pain.

So that's why he
wanted us outside.

I never thought he
was really going to do it.

Look, there's a note.

"I know everything you've done.

"I know it's a sickness
with you, but I'm sick, too.

I've had all I can stand."

So he even killed
himself for you.

An almost perfect score.

Drop it, Joe.

Now.

Ross.

It seems we made a mistake.

He knows.

How did we give ourselves away?

The ink.

I used Alex' pen
to sign that picture.

My signature was smeared.

Slow-drying ink.

If Alex' hand had dropped on
that note right after he had written it,

this whole thing would
have been smeared.

And I imagine this
note is part of a letter

that Alex sent you when
you were in Hawaii with Ross,

telling you about his
intentions to get a divorce.

So they... they killed
him for his money.

But why the others?

To set up a perfect alibi
with me as a witness.

I guess Diana has found the one
man she wants to settle down with.

That's an expensive settlement.

What about us?

They're going to have to change
their plans and kill both of us.

We didn't mean to, Joe, but you
had to be such a good detective.

Lesley, don't!

You stay here.

Joe, I've got a high-powered
rifle against a pistol.

Nobody's that good a shot.

Throw down your
gun. I'll let you go.

You and Lesley can walk
out of here right now free.

What do you say, Joe?

It's your last chance, Joe.

Ross, look out!
He's on the ledge!

Diana, get back!

Joe! Behind you! On the balcony!

Ross!

No. No.

Oh, no.

Joe?

I'm all right, Lesley.

I'm all right.

I didn't think she could cry.

A reunion.
