It looks like the world of a real pro.

My insurance, it is meaningless when it comes to the emerald pen. It was my

great -grandmother's.

I treasure it more than anything else I own. And that includes down in Travel

Magazine. We are just as concerned about the theft as you are, Miss Dawkins.

Mr. Griffin and the police are... No, please.

The police look more lost than my jewelry.

Give them time.

Miss Francis, I'm not a vindictive person.

But if that emerald pin hasn't been recovered by the time I'm ready to leave

New York, well, let's just say that the glowing reviews my magazine has given to

St. Gregory in the past will be a thing of the past.

Careful with these rods.

Careful with my middle name, sir.

I'll take it.

Nice gear.

Hiya, fisherman.

Oh, I've been known to drop a line now and then. Peter McDermott. I own the St.

Gregory. Ben Garfield.

My grandson, Jason.

Hi. Hi.

We just spent two weeks up in Yosemite.

Oh. I'll take that.

Well, I don't blame you. It's quite a vessel.

Grandpa just bought it for me. Can't wait to try her out. Do you like one?

Oh, yeah. I have one myself.

It's a Betty Jo.

She's a 30 -foot sloop.

A Betty Joe.

I like that.

I'm going to have a real boat someday.

Hey, I'll say. The bag's been waiting inside for you. See you around, Mr.

McDermott. Now, don't you be running off on me, son. This boy's going to run me

into the ground yet. Excuse me.

Ambassador Katayama, I'm sorry you have to leave so soon.

Well, the sorrow is mine. I have to trade your graciousness and beauty for

traffic of Tokyo.

Kat! Hello, my friend. I didn't know you were in San Francisco.

Forgive me.

Christine Francis may present Trevor Harris.

How do you do? Miss Francis is the St. Gregory's general manager.

Pleasure. I noticed you in the crown room last night.

Wondered who you were.

I saw you asking the waiter about me. I made sure you saw me asking the waiter.

I have a feeling you'll both be very happy to let me go catch my plane.

Please do stay with us again, Ambassador.

Wonderful man.

You seem to know each other well. We'll go back a long way. Harvard Business

School. Oh, I am impressed.

Good. How about dinner tonight?

I really can't.

Can't tonight or... Can't any night.

But thank you very much for asking.

It was nice to have met you, Mr.

Harris.

Enjoy your stay.

Mrs. Lux for 302's finally arrived.

They're all yours.

Great, I'll just bring these right on in.

What are these, bowling balls?

This is the equipment of the Bartlesville Oklahoma Championship

They're here for the playoff.

All these for one room?

No, 302's the team manager's room.

He's in charge of all these balls.

Well, no, actually, for the moment, you are.

Hey, maybe we should start a league at the St. Gregor. You like to bowl?

No. But I love the shirts. Sign me up. You're on.

Did you hear the news?

Last night there was a burglary.

One of the guests had almost all of her jewelry stolen.

You're kidding.

Oh, I'm not kidding.

The thief could be one of the guests.

I suspect Mr. Miller in room 708.

Cheryl, Mr. Miller is in town for a law enforcement convention.

He's a chief of police.

Oh.

Mr. Cochran in room 312.

Christy. Billy.

Hello. Hello.

Excuse me a minute.

Looks like you have an admirer.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude.

Don't mention it, Miss Francis.

The name's Phil Kroger.

How do you do? Mr. Kroger is a private investigator.

He represents a group of international insurance companies that kind of

underwrite private jewelry collections.

Oh? Mr. Griffin kindly let me have a look in the Dawson suite.

The man I've been after for the past six months and your jewelry thief are one

and the same guy.

How can you be so sure?

Identical M .O .s.

Very selective in what he takes. No cash, just jewelry, and only the best

at that.

Our Mr. Harris is very slick.

Mr. Harris?

That's right.

Trevor Harris.

So you've already met him?

Well, if you know it's him, why don't you have him arrested?

Well, knowing it's one thing, but proving it's another.

A charming fellow, isn't he?

Yes. Yes, he is.

All the best ones are.

And believe me, this guy is the best.

and let me take this trip with you. Bet it wasn't easy to convince her, huh?

Well, your mother and I have had our differences.

Especially since Dad died.

Well, you and I are together now. That's all that matters.

Bring her around to Doc, okay?

Look, Grandpa, the Betty Joe!

It's the one Mr.

McDermott was telling us about.

She's a beauty, all right.

Think of the trips we could take with a boat like her.

Yeah.

Too bad Mom's not in the sailing.

No, it's concerts, museums, and junk like that. Because that's what the guy

she's marrying likes to do.

Well, while you're with me, we just keep on doing the things you like to do,

okay?

I think I left my car keys at the end of the slip. Run back down and check.

Mr. Kroger, what a surprise.

Counting the silverware.

It crossed my mind.

Here I thought we'd settled everything back in London.

If I'd have found that ring on you in London, we might just have.

What, this ring?

That ring is as hot as they come.

Stolen from the Duke of Malton's collection, along with a number of other

baubles. You're getting careless, Mr. Harris.

I like it. It makes my job a lot easier.

Sorry to hear about the Duke's misfortune.

But you're wrong.

About me?

About the ring.

I had it made in Florence.

The workmanship is quite impressive.

But the value... You are very good at this game. I'll give you that.

But so am I.

And before this thing ends, I'm going to put you away for a very long time.

Does this mean you won't join me for brunch?

Excuse me.

Hi.

Don't you have anything better to do on a break?

Scandal sheets are nothing but trash.

Elvis' ghost saves elderly woman from fiery death?

You call this kind of hard -hitting journalism trash?

You're right. We're talking Pulitzer Prize here.

Oh, my God.

I just checked this boy in this morning.

I read the article twice before bringing it to you, Mr. McDermott.

It looks like we have a problem.

Well, the picture matches. So does everything else.

Jason Garfield, age nine, kidnapped two weeks ago from his home in San Diego.

No sign of a struggle. Mother suspects the child was taken by his grandfather.

But Mr. Garfield seemed, you know, so lovable.

He couldn't have kidnapped Jason.

I have to assume he did.

Ryan, have Billy meet me up at Ben Garfield's suite.

All work and no play, Miss Francis.

Seems like such a waste for a woman as beautiful as you.

Good afternoon, Mr. Harris.

Don't you think it's about time you called me Trevor?

You'll have to excuse me, Mr. Harris.

But I have a very busy schedule.

Don't you like me?

I don't even know you. Well, an evening on the town would change all that.

Surely the same Gregory can do without you for just one night.

Maybe. Things were running smoothly, but they're not at the moment.

Ah, anything I can do to help.

Would you know a jewel thief, if you saw one?

A jewel thief?

A jewel thief.

A guest of ours was robbed last night.

No. That's terrible.

Yes, it is.

One of the things taken is irreplaceable.

An emerald pen.

Family heirloom.

So, until we catch the thief, well... You understand that.

Any leads?

My instincts tell me we're very close now.

Good. Hope you catch him soon.

Until then, perhaps I should leave my ring with you for safekeeping.

I'd hate to be the thief's next victim. It's very valuable.

Treat it as if it were your own.

The Saint Gregory has safe deposit boxes for guests.

Perfect. Would you mind seeing that it's put in one?

Very trusting.

Who knows who the jewel thief might be?

I'm a very good judge of character.

I always thought I was.

Hello, Jason.

This is Billy Griffin, our head of security.

Did I do something wrong?

Oh, of course not. We just wanted to drop by, see how you're doing.

Oh, I've been great.

We went down to the marina. I saw your boat.

Mr. McDermott, I can assure you your partner there is unnecessary.

We're not going anywhere.

Right. Well, it looks like I'm not needed after all.

Nice meeting you, Jason.

I believe Mr. McDermott and I need to have a talk, Jason.

Alone?

Something is wrong.

It's nothing, son. Just go into the bedroom and see what's on TV.

Sooner or later, I knew my luck was bound to run out.

Then it's true. You kidnapped your own grandson.

Hell no. I rescued him. From what?

My daughter -in -law.

I don't expect you to understand.

Well, try me.

After my son died, everything started to change.

Susan, Jason's mother, simply couldn't cope.

She threw herself into her work. Nothing else mattered.

Not even her son.

I tried to lend a hand raising the boy, but she wouldn't let me.

As a matter of fact, she went out of her way to shut me out.

I'd drop by, take the boy to the park.

She'd say he was busy.

I'd phone. He was always out. That's the picture.

She left me no choice.

There are always choices, Mr. Garfield.

Not for Susan.

It's all or nothing with her. And now that there's a new man in her life, it's

only gotten worse.

I could not stand by and let Jason take a back seat any longer. I can understand

your position, but you have to understand mine.

Jason is here without his mother's permission.

That's no reason to go to the police and call it kidnapping.

Well, call it whatever you want. I won't allow the St. Gregory to become an

accessory after the fact.

Mr. McDermott, please, this is not a matter for the police.

It's family.

You can see I wouldn't want anything to happen to my grandson, my own flesh and

blood, the only person left who matters to me. I'm sure he matters a great deal

to his mother, too.

There's a phone sitting right next to you.

If you don't pick it up and call her, I'm going to have to.

worth 15, 20 grand?

If it's the ring lifted from the Marlton collection, try 120.

And that appraisal excludes its historical value, which you know adds

couple of zeros to the price tag.

And you think it is the Duke of Marlton's?

Well, we need to fly in an expert from London to confirm it, but... Yeah, I'm

sure.

I'd like to help, but the hotel has a responsibility for the property of its

guests. This ring should be in the vault already.

I'm not asking you to break any rules. Just bend them a little.

Okay. Lock it up.

The vault's as good as any place for my expert to take a look.

I was so looking forward to this evening. It's for such a good cause.

The robbery has spoiled everything for me.

Who would have thought that security could be so lax at a five -star hotel

the St. Gregory's?

Sad.

The Tiger's Eye of Cairo, huh? You're the guy who cracked that case? Yeah. The

only dealer in the whole world to handle a hot rock like that is Tuteri in

Marseille. I spent three of the worst weeks of my life staking out his joint.

You ever been to Marseille?

Not even close.

Don't bother.

Not in the winter, anyway.

The weather's lousy. It's cold, it's rainy, it's miserable.

How'd I get into this?

The Tiger's Eye of Cairo.

Ah, yeah, the weather in Marseille. I nearly got pneumonia.

And the Tigers' eyes showed up, and I was there to grab it.

Sure got a lot of headlines.

Yeah, well, it's all in a day's work.

Excuse me just a moment.

I should be wearing my emerald pin tonight.

I'm sorry, Miss Dawson.

I know how much the pin means to you. We're doing everything we can to see

your jewelry's retired.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be enough, does it?

Nice lady.

Wow.

You really can't hold it against her.

Hang in there. We'll find her jewelry.

I wonder why we haven't seen Mr. Harris yet tonight.

Don't worry. He'll show up.

Just keep looking at all the diamonds around those necks.

Keep your eyes on them.

And sooner or later, you'll find Trevor Harris mingling among the crowd, using

that easy charm of his, flirting with the matrons, and all along his window

shopping, making up his mind who he's going to hit next.

Well, not anymore.

Because when the lights go down, I plan to be here.

You really want this guy bad, huh?

Oh, so bad I can taste it.

I've saved a place for him on the wall of my den.

Right next to the moose head.

Grandpa?

I thought you'd be asleep by now.

Can't. My stomach's bothering me.

That can't be because of dinner. You hardly ate.

Will you still be my grandfather when Mom marries Tim?

You're not going to get rid of me that easily.

Nothing is ever going to keep us apart.

Promise?

I promise.

Mom never said I could take this trip with you, did she?

No, son.

She didn't. Aren't we in a lot of trouble?

Oh, nothing we can't handle.

Your mom and I just have a few things we have to work out.

Everything's been so different with Dad gone.

Mom says it'll get easier.

But it doesn't.

I miss him so much sometimes.

So do I, son.

So do I.

Don't ever leave me, Grandpa.

Okay, you go back to bed.

I'll go downstairs and get something to help that stomach of yours, okay?

We better start thinking fast. Trotter Harris is checking out. What?

He left the ball during the middle of cocktails.

Went down to the front desk and asked him to prepare his bill. I need more

Well, I could have the desk stolen for a while.

The man flying in to examine the ring won't be here until morning.

Harris will be long gone by then.

Wait a minute.

That orchid that was on your desk was from Harris.

How do you know that?

Huh? How do you know?

I read the card when you weren't looking.

What do you want me to say? It's my business to be nosy.

You've got to take Harris up on the dinner invitation.

Hold on. I don't like the idea of you getting mixed up in this. The man's a

criminal. It could be dangerous.

I think I can handle it.

We're only talking about dinner.

Excuse me, Mr. McDermott. Jason Garfield's mother has arrived.

She's down in the lobby, and from what Cheryl says, she seems pretty upset.

Don't do anything reckless, Christine.

I'll be right back.

This is Christine Francis.

Give me Trevor Harris's room.

Remember, Harris is a slippery devil.

Whatever you do, don't let him out of your sight.

No matter what excuse he gives you.

Mr. Garfield, there's Mr. McDermott now.

Mr. McDermott?

I'm Susan Garfield. Where is my son? Is he really all right?

Jason's safe in his room.

Oh, thank goodness. Look, before we go up, why not take a minute to catch your

breath? Think about the best way to handle this for Jason.

Must look a mess.

Oh, under the circumstances, I say you held up pretty well.

I have to tell you, you're not at all the person I expected.

I'm sure Jason's grandfather painted a less than flattering picture of me.

Ben is stubborn and willful, but I never thought he'd go so far as to take my

son away.

He seems very devoted to the boy.

Dangerously so.

Jason is only nine years old.

His grandfather is already trying to turn him into a Marine.

I knew about this survival weekend that Ben had planned.

I told him no, absolutely not.

But he took Jason anyway.

My husband could keep Ben in line. I can't.

I'm aware you lost your husband. I'm sorry.

Thank you.

It hasn't been easy. There wasn't very much insurance.

I had to get a job.

Things are better now. I'm getting married again.

He cares about Jason as much as I do.

I think your father -in -law's biggest fear is that there won't be any place

him once you're remarried.

Mr. McDermott, he kidnapped my son.

He's lucky I don't have him thrown in jail.

That's not the issue now.

I won't run the risk of this happening again.

I'll get a court order if I have to, but his days with Jason are over.

Permanently.

I mean it.

Come on, son. Wake up. Get dressed. Wake up.

Don't ask any questions. Just do as you're told.

Come on. Get a move on. Let's go.

I'm curious, Christine.

You don't strike me as the kind of woman who changes her mind very often.

What do you mean?

This dinner.

I'd all be giving up on you.

You yourself said, all work and no play.

Is that what we're doing now?

Playing.

Well, aren't you enjoying yourself?

Very much.

I wish I could say the same for you.

I'm having a wonderful time.

I'd like to think so, but somehow... I get the feeling this...

Dinner is more work than play for you.

My guess is that somebody's been telling you terrible things about me.

Is that an educated guess?

Desperate men tell desperate tales.

And they don't come any more desperate than a certain private investigator I

know.

Don't believe everything you hear, is that it?

Exactly.

Just what is it you'd like me to believe?

That I find you extremely attractive.

That I enjoy your company very much.

And that I sincerely regret I have to interrupt our dinner.

Is this conversation making you uncomfortable?

No, not at all.

Just a little business matter I have to attend to.

I was on my way to Hong Kong when I got your call.

Nothing I can't put off for a day, but I do have to phone my associates there.

Let them know of my change in plans.

Now? Now is 8, tomorrow morning, Hong Kong time.

As a courtesy, I don't want to keep them from any other business they might

have. Well, I could have a phone brought to the table.

Thanks, but the number's in my room.

Will you have another glass of champagne and wait for me?

Of course.

What I have to do will only take a few minutes.

No. Mom!

Jason.

Oh, I've missed you so much. I missed you, too.

I'll leave you alone.

No, I'd like you to stay.

Ben, I want to make this as easy as possible. No harsh words.

I'll just take Jason home.

I've heard you talking to Mr. McDermott. Please don't do this. Don't keep me

from my grandson.

Mom wouldn't do that.

Tell him, Susan. The boy deserves to know.

This is not the time or place to discuss it, Ben.

For Jason's sake, maybe it is.

Mom, what's everybody talking about?

Your grandfather doesn't have your best interests at heart.

You won't be seeing him anymore.

But he loves me. I love him.

It's much more complicated than that.

Now say goodbye. We're going home.

Is that what you want, Jason?

Why can't we all go home together?

Because it's not possible.

I'm not going to give up without a fight, Susan.

You know, you're not the only one who can go to court.

No judge on earth will let you near Jason.

Not after what you've done.

Stop it. Just stop it. I hate it when you fight. I don't want to be with

one of you.

Satisfied?

I apologize, Mr. McDermott.

I'd hoped it would have gone easier than this.

Jason.

Come on, Jason.

Jason.

Jason?

You can't have gone far. I'll call security.

There's no answer in Mr. Kroger's room.

Well, can someone find him for me? It's very important.

Not to stop meeting like this, Phil.

What's the matter, Harris? Miss Francis, get tired of your company?

Looking for something? As a matter of fact, I am. An emerald pin?

A ruby bracelet?

I got quite a list.

Why not try the lost and found?

You're, uh, pretty quiet when you come into a room.

Not a room.

My room.

But then I guess you have to be quiet in your kind of work.

I know what I do for a living, but I'm beginning to wonder about you.

Only one person has been around every time somebody's jewelry disappears.

Aside from me, of course.

And who might that be?

You.

Nice try, Harris.

But you're not going to beat the rap that easily.

And that, I guarantee.

Well, keep looking. I want the entire hotel checked again.

And the park. Yeah, and the surrounding neighborhood.

Sorry. Billy says there's no sign of Jason yet.

How is that possible?

Take it easy, Susan.

You take it easy.

He's my son, and he's probably lost out there on some dark street.

Anything could happen to him. I've been teaching the boy to take care of

himself.

You've been trying to turn him into his father.

My husband died in a skydiving accident, trying to live up to his father's

expectations.

Ben was always pushing, pushing.

Faster, higher, more dangerous.

If that was my fault? Is that what you're saying? It was my fault?

No, no. He was an adult. He made his own decisions.

But you have to realize Jason is just a child.

He's only nine years old.

We'll find him.

We better.

For God help this man.

The boy was doing fine until you showed up. You can't blame this one on me.

Well, I do, Ben.

And if anything should happen to him, I'll never stop.

Blame isn't the issue here. Jason is.

He's run away from both of you because he needs both of you.

I'm scared.

We've been looking all night. They've been looking all night.

What if Jason's hurt? We'll find him. He'll be okay.

These streets are starting to look the same to me.

Don't give up yet.

I handled the situation very badly last night.

I didn't say anything.

I wanted you to know that I've been thinking about it.

We both handled it, Beth.

Is it ever going to end between us, this tug -of -war?

I don't know.

Was Mr. Garfield here when you came in, Martha?

No, sir. In fact, it doesn't look like anyone spent the night here.

Come on, Harris.

Come on.

Mr. Harris, would you please open up?

I take it you're not here to deliver my breakfast?

This is Mr. Griffin. He's head of hotel security.

We had another burglary last night. A couple lost over $200 ,000 in jewelry.

Really?

And you think... What?

It's here?

Are you going to let us in, or do we have to get a search warrant?

I have nothing to hide.

We'll see about that.

You know, you never cease to amaze me, Phil.

How much embarrassment can one man take?

Start worrying, Harris. The party's over.

You

check

the john.

very patient, Mr. Harris. We appreciate your cooperation.

Don't mention it.

We'll try to make this as quick as possible. Take your time.

Mind if I finish getting dressed?

Not at all.

And I really do apologize for the inconvenience. No problem.

Anything?

I got the luggage. You take the dresser.

Does this belong to you, Mr. Harris?

Well, well, well.

Got you, Harris.

Finally got you.

Good morning.

Hi, Mr.

McDermott.

You sleep okay?

Kind of.

What happened to your hand?

I cut it when I hopped the fence.

Bad?

I don't know.

Bet you're pretty mad at me, huh?

Well, let's talk about it while I have a look at that cut.

Yes, I have no idea where it came from. Well, we found the jewelry in your

drawer, sir.

We will find out.

I don't know.

Sorry for the interruption. Christine, will you please tell these gentlemen

where I was last night? Save it, Harris. We already know where you were. We've

got the evidence to prove it. According to the robbery report, the Crowleys

returned to their room shortly before nine to change Mrs. Crowley's bracelet.

When they returned at midnight, they discovered the jewelry was gone. The

thing I tried to steal last night was Miss Francis's heart.

We were together from a little after eight until... Well, out of respect for

lady, I won't tell you when.

Is he telling the truth?

Trevor came back to the Crown Room at about 8 .15.

We finished dinner, had dessert, and... danced until one.

Well, you said to stay close to him.

That's not possible.

He never left your side, not even for... Not even to powder his nose.

Sorry to disappoint you, old buddy.

Thank you, Christine.

A man couldn't ask for a more beautiful alibi.

By the way, about your heart, how did I do last night?

The jury's still out on that.

It would seem we still have a thief to catch.

A nasty cut, all right.

Glad it's not going to require stitches.

Just this little butterfly bandage.

It's all my fault.

What is?

The way Mom and Grandpa fight, it's always over me.

So I thought, if I went away, they wouldn't have anything to fight about

anymore.

You can't run away from this, Jason.

But they want me to take sides.

Well, they both love you very much. So what? They hate each other.

Your family's had to go through a lot since your father died.

Things have changed.

They're still changing.

You mean because Mom's married Tim?

How's that make you feel?

Scared, mostly.

Well, that's how your mother and grandfather feel, too.

Someone new has come into your family. There's a lot of emotion that goes along

with that.

Your mother feels guilty.

She's in love again.

And it's hard for her to be around Ben because he's a reminder of how much she

still loves your father.

And Grandpa's afraid we won't need him anymore because Mom's found someone new?

Yeah, that's right.

And you're going to have to be patient with him.

Give him time to work it all out.

Help him if you can.

You think you're up to that?

Yes.

Mrs. Garfield, Mr. Garfield, we've been looking for you.

He's okay.

Mr. McDermott found him at the marina. He called from his boat and he'll be

soon. Oh, Ben.

I'm sorry, I...

I wasn't thinking.

I understand.

Do you?

After all these years, do you really?

I've made mistakes.

Hell, I'm an old man. I've made lots of them. Taking Jason the way I did, it was

wrong. I know that.

You have every right to hate me.

I don't hate you.

I don't like you very much, but I don't hate you.

That boy is a part of me. I need him.

I need to feel like I'm a part of something.

Can you understand that?

You're not the only one who made mistakes.

I've... I've done my share of things to hurt you.

I'm not proud of them.

Let's face it, Ben.

We don't see eye to eye on anything.

So where do we go from here?

He's your boy.

I guess it's up to you.

I know it doesn't look like it, but Harris is the thief.

Apparently not the only one.

You know, you were pretty sure we'd find that jewelry in Harris' room this

morning. Too sure. Makes me wonder, you know? Well, the Crowley's got their

jewels back. What difference does it make?

I trusted you, Phil. Damn it, the insurance company wants results, and

them now, and so do I.

Six months, Griffin. This guy's had me jumping through hoops. And I can feel

flipping away all over again.

Fighting fire with fire doesn't work. Not in our business. That's the way I

it, anyway. I thought you did, too.

You're gonna bust me.

You're going to make me regret it if I don't?

Come on.

Your expert just got here to examine Harris' ring.

You're curious to hear the results?

Where

have

you been?

We've been so worried.

What happened to your hand?

It's okay. It stopped hurting. Mr. McDermott fixed it up real good.

Yeah.

I don't know how to thank you for everything, Mr. McDermott.

We owe you a lot.

I'm glad I could help.

You had us pretty worried running off like that.

Sorry, Grandpa.

But you've always told me I'd have to learn to take care of myself.

That's what I was trying to do.

Well, that only goes to show you that your old grandpa can be wrong sometimes.

You've got a little more to do before you're ready to be on your own.

Guess we've got to go home now.

Well, there's still some sights in San Francisco you want to see, aren't there?

It's okay.

I know you have to get back to work.

Oh, I think they can get along without me for a day or two.

Maybe your grandpa can give us both a tour.

That is, if you want to, Ben.

Thank you, Susan.

I'd love to.

Very much.

Thanks, Mom.

Couldn't let you leave without saying goodbye.

Wouldn't think of it.

I was going to stop by on my way out to thank you for a wonderful time.

and, of course, to pick up my ring.

Your ring.

You do have it, don't you?

Actually... I'm sorry for the inconvenience, Mr. Harris. Miss Francis

get your ring, and it took me a little longer than expected.

Miss Francis, excuse me. I have a problem. I need you to look at this.

Excuse me.

That expert had to come all the way from London to tell me that that wasn't the

Duke of Malden's ring. Only a very good copy.

You gave that ring to Miss Francis to set me up, and I fell for it. Hook,

and sinker. Me?

Set you up?

Really? Phil, why would I want to do a thing like that?

Gotcha. It's time.

You haven't seen the last of me yet.

Wouldn't happen any other way until Hong Kong, then.

Ah, wish I'd been able to help you get that emerald pin back.

I know how important it is to you.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Are you sure I

can't get you a cup of coffee, Miss Dothan? I didn't come here for coffee,

you.

Oh, thanks.

Mr. McDermott.

The other jewelry I can replace, but my emerald pin... We can only apologize so

many times.

But I was told that the police had made an arrest this morning.

I'm sorry. We did recover another guest's jewelry, but none of yours.

Can one magazine article really hurt us all that much?

Myrna Dawson doesn't do single articles.

She does crusade.

She's got a point.

But don't worry.

We can deal with any bad press Miss Dawson throws our way.

Catch Myrna Dawson before she checks out.

We are going to make her day.
