Tonight on Acapulco View.

What the hell could have done?

President Moncada's like the most popular guy on the island.

He's a politician.

He may be admired.

He also has enemies.

I wonder.

What?

Well, when he invited us here, do you think that maybe he had an idea

like this may happen?

Well, if he did, he wish he would have told us and we could have helped

protected him.

Maybe he didn't know what's out to get him.

But you guys are his friends.

Surely you must know someone who didn't like him.

I can't think of anyone who tried to assassinate him. What about before?

When you had to calculate the heat.

Were you not assigned to protect Makata?

Oh, was that four years ago?

Yeah, about four years ago. But we weren't here to protect Makata. We were

to prevent a coup.

How are they?

They're in a coma.

The doctors say he might not ever come out of it.

They come.

Can't help but feel gleaming.

Come on. There's nothing we can do here.

What were you and Diane doing in D .C.? Working together?

No, I met her at one of those upscale Washington parties.

I guess she was a legal eagle for some hot lobbyist on the Hill.

I only talked to her once.

But I did hear a lot about her. She's supposed to be a great lawyer.

Starts with a drop -dead knockout.

Excuse me, sir.

But I do believe your libido is showing.

I hope that's all that's showing.

Go ahead, laugh it up.

I mean it. Diane Hudson's a 10 -plus.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

I have a gray hair. Where?

Here.

Where did it go? Where did it go?

Look, my dad turned gray at 33. Think what I got to look forward to.

It happens.

Personally, I like men with gray hair. It makes them look so distinguished.

On a woman, it makes you look old, very old.

Lines and wrinkles are old.

Yes, but gray hair is a road sign.

Sorry I took so long.

I needed a major repair job.

Whatever you did, it worked.

Oh, my gosh.

What a terrible day.

Thanks for sticking by my side.

Couldn't have made it without your support.

Glad to help.

We'll stick around as long as you need us.

I appreciate that.

So did Diego.

President Ocada.

He told me so much about you guys, I feel like we're old friends.

You know, we could help you find the people responsible.

We'll check with Interpol and CIA and see if we can come up with a shopping

of PAs.

PAs?

Potential assassins.

That won't be necessary.

St. Christine's a small island and its police force is very efficient.

No one can land or leave the island without the authorities knowing it.

I'm going to catch those bastards.

And when we do...

Baster, see

you again.

You too, Tommy.

Kat. Hi.

Hi, you must be the new partners.

Nicole Bernard, nice to meet you. Hello.

John and Brian.

Well, as you already know, things are pretty hectic around here.

So let me get right to the point.

The president is still in a coma.

So until we get some answers, the vice president and I would like private

security. And what about the men who tried to kill him?

Find them.

Whatever you need.

I mean personal, police cooperation, criminal records, weapons.

They're yours.

But you do realize that we're not with the coalition anymore.

We're now a private enterprise with expenses.

Now, I realize all that, yes.

And as the U .S. ambassador, I am authorized to pay you anything you want.

Just so you round up these assassins and turn them over to me.

Uh, the government.

Oh, consider it done.

Okay, let's go.

I hope you're not making a mistake.

What was I supposed to do?

Hoarder the ambassador?

Not to hire them?

Besides, what harm can they do?

Maybe a lot. These people are good.

They're liable to come up with something.

Something like what?

Imaginary terrorists?

Or for rumors of another attempted coup?

Oh, come on, Diana.

Let them poke around.

They'll find nothing.

They can only make me look good in front of the people.

I hope you're right.

Because the cartel I represent does not look kindly upon mistakes or the people

who make them.

Especially not for the kind of money they're paying you.

Don't worry, Diane.

Don't worry about it.

You know, when I'm in power,

you'll have the run of the

island.

And your friends, yes, your friends, they can think well, whatever

they like.

Till then, how do I look?

It's very important for me because I'm, you know, I'm going on the TV.

You know what for?

To calm the nation's bleeding hearts.

You

come up with

anything yet?

According to the CIA and Interpol, none of these terrorist groups are operating

in the Caribbean theater.

Do you think Cuba's behind this?

Doubtful.

Cuba's economy is crumbling, so Castro's trying very hard to keep a low profile

just in case the U .S. decides to turn a favorable cheek his way.

Oh, quiet.

Like an empty church.

Come on, why don't I give you a ride home?

No, it's okay.

I got it right. Thanks.

In a presidential limo, perhaps?

That's cute.

Oh, by the way, I got you a little something.

What is it?

A little reminder to let you know I'm always thinking of you.

Want to look younger? Then rinse that telltale gray hair away with gray away.

There wasn't even one hair.

And I'm not even sure that I saw it.

Uh, today's another day.

I hate you all for your thoughts.

I'm sorry.

We're doing it again.

I'm going to get over the fact that I might not ever become one.

You must care for him very much.

I do.

Not in the way that you think.

And certainly not in the way that the television's pressing.

And you're not as, um... No.

Most definitely not.

I'm more like his confidant.

Couldn't tell that.

Wasn't sure.

I thought I made that very clear the first time we met.

I'm finally making it clear.

We may not have the moon and the stars, but we have the sun and the ocean.

My private life is my own, you know.

Nobody's going to bother you because you come home with me.

I wouldn't care if they did.

Oh? Look, I move at my own pace when I come.

Women?

The ones I care for.

So I've moved up a notch?

Be your right up.

I'm not planning on going anywhere.

Here is where the motorcade crossed the plaza.

It's as good a place as any to stop looking.

Dumb question.

Uh -huh.

What are we looking for?

I know that this is not as exciting as it seems in the movie.

And it's the boring, down -and -dirty legwork that captures most criminals,

right? Right.

So tell me, what are we looking for?

I don't know.

But I'll know it when I see it.

Hey, that's enough. Go. Go away.

That's it. What?

What we're looking for. Come on.

Senor.

Hold on.

Nothing here we can use.

You sure these are all you took?

Looks like my hunch was wrong.

I was so sure that I would find something that would lead us to... Wait

minute.

What? Find something?

What do you make of it?

Looks like she's holding something in her hand.

A gun?

No, there could be a signal or something.

I had him make this blow up so we could get a closer look at what was going on.

See here?

Why is she looking back like that?

And here?

This could be some sort of device.

But we cannot do details for sure.

I asked him to blow up this shot in case we ever need to identify the driver.

So? What do you think?

Pretty flimsy evidence, I admit.

What evidence? All I see is a woman talking to a chauffeur.

You don't think she looks like she's expecting something to happen?

What's your take on it?

Well, I think it could go either way.

I mean, as for this, I mean, it could be a triggering device.

But it could also be a camera or a small purse.

I mean, it's impossible to tell from the photo.

Would you forget the photos for a minute?

All right, why would Diane want to kill President Moncott?

Not only does he pay for her for legal counsel, but he also has to be her best

friend. If I knew that, I wouldn't need these photos.

Well, until you get some real proof, you better get a grip on your imagination.

Quit trying to pin this on an innocent person and start looking for the real

guilty part.

That is what I'm trying to do.

How about you?

What are you saying? I'm dogging it because I like Diane?

Yes. You're human.

What with Diane?

Come on, guys.

Jumping on each other is not going to get us anywhere.

Look, we're not getting anywhere anyway.

Well, I guess I really touched your nerve, huh?

I think he cares a great deal about Diane.

I'm sure he does.

But they won't cloud his judgment.

I've known Tommy a long time. He's a pro.

He'll do the right thing.

You know, that's something about the ocean.

No matter how you feel, it always seems to calm you down, you know?

Not always.

Who are those two trying to frame Diane like that?

Nobody's trying to frame Diane.

They just thought she'd be a possibility.

But we didn't realize how sensitive you'd be.

You also didn't say you could be wrong.

Are you politely saying that you're right?

You know me better than that. Slightness was never one of my better qualities.

But I do think you should just ask Diane why she was looking back. I mean, maybe

she saw or heard something that could help us.

I'll think about it.

You've got to do more than that.

You didn't see anything at all?

That would have made you suspicious.

Hmm.

Tell your partners all I saw were crowds of happy, cheering people.

What about your camera? Did you take any pictures with it?

What camera?

The photo looked like you were holding a small camera.

All I had with me was my purse. I mean, it's kind of small and square. Why would

you like to see it?

No. Not necessary.

There's nothing more that I'd like than to help.

We'll catch him. You know, it's just a matter of time.

Well, I'm certainly glad you didn't put me in handcuffs.

You were not a suspect, okay? The guys were just wondering why you were looking

back.

Ah,

better go.

Are you going to call me?

No.

Look, I'm glad we were wrong about Diane.

Personally, I like her.

Me too.

We really weren't trying to frame her, you know. I know, I know.

I should have just chilled out.

You're forgiven for that.

It's the gray remover I cannot forget.

It work?

For the tweezers.

Okay, they're on their way.

This was no L .A. drive -by shooting. These two cowboys were waiting for us at

the sidewalk.

They came out like dogs sitting.

So you didn't recognize either of them?

The one driving did look familiar.

I can't believe my thoughts say... Wait a minute.

I scanned in these blow -ups just so we could have them handy.

Here it is.

Before you go

ballistic, we're not saying Diana has anything to do with it.

He is not responsible for some jerk of a chauffeur.

Whoa. All we're saying is he was driving the car that tried to... I said, whoa,

whoa, whoa, hold it.

What? I'm not a fool, you know.

Meaning?

Meaning I gotta face it.

There could be a connection.

I hope there isn't, but... Are

you

sure about this?

Absolutely.

Find him. Pick him up.

Good work.

This may be the break we need.

Look, I'd just like to be there when the police question him.

Of course.

You will.

Well, what do you know?

Find something?

Diane's name.

On an Interpol list of fraud suspects.

When? Two years ago.

Hired as a legal consultant by Dasko Enterprises.

The oil conglomerate?

Dasko was under investigation by the FBI and the U .S. Attorney's Office.

They were charged with swindling the government out of over $100 million.

And look at this.

Tell me.

I'd rather hear it.

Three months after fraud charges were filed, Little Miss Diane deposited a

million pounds to a bank account in London.

I don't think it was a coincidence.

But is there any proof?

Wait. I'm looking.

Doesn't look like it. She walked away.

Keep trying. We need proof.

Try to find some somewhere.

Well, here goes nothing.

Better not get too close.

Don't let them see you, Joanna.

Okay, here it is.

Don't try and talk, Mr. President.

Look, if you can, just answer our questions by nodding or shaking your

okay?

Do you have any idea who would want to kill you?

Did you see anyone suspicious before or during the motorcade?

Okay.

It's what we want to do.

Tommy?

You got to be Diane, right?

Don't worry, I'm not on the fence about this anymore.

I'm sorry.

Hey, you know, I'll get over it.

Sure. But it still hurts that you know I've been there.

What are you going to tell her?

And I'll let her do the talking, you know.

Hang herself.

But I was allowed to see Diego when he was in a coma. Why not now when he's

feeling better?

Doctor's orders.

Why?

Is there something you know? Is there something you're not telling me, Tommy?

Like what?

Diego, he's getting better, isn't he?

Sure. Well, then why can't I talk to him? The doctors have prayed too much

talking might cause a relapse.

The last time I saw her, she was sitting here using her laptop.

Isn't that... Yes, it is.

He was grabbing Diane in the motorcade.

He tried to run Joanna off the road.

Wasn't okay?

Yes. We're not.

Well, our little scheme worked.

Well, not really. They got away.

Not this poor.

When Joanna decides to show up, she can threaten back to the others.

Speaking of Joanna, where is she?

You know, that's a good question.

I...

Yo.

Yeah, got it.

Diane.

What if you want?

She wants to see me.

Right away. He's waiting at the beat.

We'll go with you.

No, that might scare her off.

It might be a trap.

Don't worry.

I'm way ahead of you.

So what's the problem?

I have some information on who tried to kill Diego.

Well, that'd be helpful. What is it?

A picture of the assassin right here.

You know, I was wondering how long it was going to take you to catch on.

Obviously a few minutes too long.

Known about you for a while, I guess.

Didn't want to admit it.

That's what I counted on. Don't feel bad, Tommy. Haven't you heard? Love is

blind. On your case, so is loyalty.

What?

I mean, I can accept the fact that you used me.

What you do for a living.

Why Diego?

I mean, he was everything to you.

He helped you? He was your best friend?

He's also a stubborn, idealistic fool who'd rather die than sacrifice in

wildlife sanctuaries. I mean, the ecology.

A few lousy birds and animals, that's all he cares about.

Well, his time's run out. And Ortiz doesn't give a hoot about ecology, and

he'll be running the country.

Ortiz, the vice president.

The oil well lighter should have woke me up.

Should have realized.

Nobody's perfect.

The race is over. It's too late. It's over.

Not quite.

What? Acapulco heat?

It's no problem. I have you and I have Joanna. There's only two left.

Joanna? She was nosing around with a camera, so my men grabbed her.

Say goodbye, Tommy.

You were kind of special.

Bad.

I had Diane lined up in my sights, and I just couldn't pull the trigger.

If anything happens to Joanna, it's going to be my fault.

We'll find her.

How?

This island is mostly dense jungle. I mean, Joanna could be stashed anywhere.

I mean, without a lead, it could be days, it could take weeks.

Wait a minute.

Maybe we do have a lead.

Maybe Joanna left us one.

In her computer, of course.

Exactly. Her whole life's devoted to it. What she thinks, what she does. I mean,

this computer is her. Maybe she left a trail we can follow.

It's worth a shot.

I know Joanna was checking into Diane's background.

I'll start with Diane and see what I can come up with.

Dasko, of course.

She told me Diane was a legal consultant for them.

It's about oil.

We've got to find oil.

Oil, gunk.

Diane had it on her shoes twice.

So did those gunmen.

They had to be walking somewhere where there was oil on the ground.

It looked like it could be the wildlife sanctuary.

What about them?

Diane said that President Moncada was a stubborn fool about the ecology.

Someone who'd rather die than sacrifice the wildlife sanctuary.

Dastgum must want to drill there for oil.

Okay. Which sanctuaries? There's lots of them.

In here.

Joanna accessed all the Dastgum files.

There must be something on where the oil is.

Bingo.

Diane's there.

We've got to find out which shack they've got Joanna in.

We better find out right now. Why don't give Joanna my chance of surviving?

my whole life for this kind of a deal and I'm not going to let two morons

it up now.

You're going to tell me that I'm never going to get away with this?

You're never going to get away with this.

Good, I'll be ashamed.

You know, I underestimated you.

No, you knew me.

I suppose it's too late to offer to cut you in. I could make you all very rich.

Rich is good.

How rich?

Richer than you've ever dreamed.

Think of all the computers I could buy. Yeah, could I have a pony? Yeah, and a

sailboat. A blue one.

I want a balloon and a date with Christopher Lambert.

No, I'm serious.

Lower weight.

Tell you what, I got a better idea.

You call the vice president, and I'll tell the prosecutors you were

That's your best offer.

Don't forget the computers.

Lots of them. You already said that.

I want to make sure.

Call Ortiz.

Mr. President, I'm so glad to see you're feeling better.

I wonder if you'll feel the same way after you hear my speech.

I'm afraid I don't understand, sir.

Then let me spell it out for you.

You and Diane Hudson conspired to kill me.

Mr. President, that's not... Don't waste time denying it, Carlos.

I have proof.

Diane's Hudson confession.

And once I tell the people of this island about your alliance with Tusco

That's right. You fool.

You just signed your own death warrant.

Wrong.

You just signed yours.

Hope you enjoy the view from the prison.

I've been so long waiting for Tommy.

It's a wonder I did not really turn gray.

Think of the devil.

Coming out of gray away?

I'm sorry.

This is what happens when you sit in the sun.

I'm thinking of suing you.

Really?

Hey, look.

I might cheer you up.

Oh, my

God.

I knew Mercado would be generous, but $300 ,000?

Don't get too excited.

Why?

Well, it ain't just $10.

Meaning? A little matter of inflation.

How little?

500 for one.

Some negotiator you are.

Do you know how you're going to be before I forgive you for this?

I'll doubt you're going to tell me.

I didn't serve it.
