My brother again? 26 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,720 Look, you tell Nervous Nelly that as long as I've got to stay away from 27 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,400 and remain in exile from society, stop pestering me. But, sir... The point is, 28 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:50,960 am on my way to Yucatan. 29 00:02:51,540 --> 00:02:53,020 What?

It sails in just a few hours. I persuaded them the 78 00:05:48,190 --> 00:05:49,910 ship would be so much more restful for Rick. 79 00:05:50,290 --> 00:05:53,410 Just think of it. Five whole days and nights for fun and games. 80 00:05:53,950 --> 00:05:54,950 For Rick? 81 00:05:55,090 --> 00:06:01,170 But Rick can't... I mean, we were going to...

What do you mean? 93 00:06:48,650 --> 00:06:51,330 When I had the accident, Uncle Harvey came out of retirement to run the 94 00:06:51,330 --> 00:06:52,330 business. 95 00:06:52,630 --> 00:06:53,630 There's Pamela. 96 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,080 Elena, don't you think Uncle Harvey's been doing a good job? 97 00:07:00,460 --> 00:07:03,620 He's apparently gotten that merger set up, and just as well as I could.

She was Uncle Harvey's right hand before he 103 00:07:19,540 --> 00:07:22,280 retired. She still sees him now and again. He's the one. 104 00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:23,500 Never mind. 105 00:07:23,660 --> 00:07:26,120 I just thought you might have noticed something. 106 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,980 Rick, don't you like to dance with Pamela? 107 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,100 I'll make your bet, Pam. 108 00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:43,480 Three seconds and you'll have a new partner. 109 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,780 Rick?

Mr. Scott's down in Acapulco. I don't think... No, he isn't. 233 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,240 just landed here a little while ago. 234 00:15:49,660 --> 00:15:52,100 Rick's here someplace, talking to his Uncle Harvey. 235 00:15:52,750 --> 00:15:54,370 Mr. Harvey Scott hasn't been in today either. 236 00:15:54,870 --> 00:15:58,130 I don't really know where he is, but...

He's really a frightful coward, 252 00:16:48,940 --> 00:16:50,020 know that, that husband of mine? 253 00:16:52,220 --> 00:16:54,200 In the glass, darling, not on me. 254 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,360 She said she was a relative of yours. Oh, go away. 255 00:16:57,580 --> 00:16:58,580 Shoo. 256 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:00,000 Scat. 257 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,680 Rick went to see his Uncle Harvey. 258 00:17:05,180 --> 00:17:09,800 Someplace. Oh, of course. The collector's dowry. How stupid of me. 259 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,920 off, Lainey. What do you mean? All I meant about the dowry was... Here. 260 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,640 Well? To the bride. 261 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,099 And the extra stock she brought to the groom. 262 00:17:18,339 --> 00:17:19,339 Elena. 263 00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:21,400 Uncle Harvey got more than he bargained for her. 264 00:17:21,660 --> 00:17:22,660 Please, Elena. 265 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:24,040 Now, wait. 266 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:25,819 What did you mean about stock? 267 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,760 The dowry, I think you called it? Let it go, Joanna. Skip it. 268 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,440 But surely you must know. 269 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,620 I'm really very grateful. 270 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,440 It's amazing how quickly you pulled the rug out from under Uncle Harvey. 271 00:17:37,980 --> 00:17:38,980 I what? 272 00:17:39,260 --> 00:17:42,960 Lainey, if you say it, I swear I'll... Didn't Rick tell you why he married you? 273 00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:44,480 Because he loves you, of course. 274 00:17:44,820 --> 00:17:48,580 And loves the extra votes that he gets with the extra stock that Uncle Harvey 275 00:17:48,580 --> 00:17:50,420 had to give up the minute Rick was married. 276 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,600 Well, it's really quite simple. When Rick's father died, stock was left in 277 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,480 for the boys with Uncle Harvey Scott until they came of age. 278 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,480 At that time, they received part of the stock, then more automatically at the 279 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:06,480 time of marriage. 280 00:18:06,660 --> 00:18:10,480 So now Rick has control of the company? No, but all of the other shareholders 281 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:11,700 know about the arrangement. 282 00:18:12,100 --> 00:18:15,900 Today, for example, an important meeting was called off. Everyone knows that 283 00:18:15,900 --> 00:18:19,920 Harvey's powers are now a little less. They want to wait for Rick's return. 284 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,240 Oh, I see. 285 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,120 I mean, I guess I see. 286 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,060 I don't blame Rick for not wanting to bore you with dull business details. 287 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:34,580 Oh, I know, I know. It's just that those two women upset me. 288 00:18:35,220 --> 00:18:40,520 I haven't even heard from Rick today. Of course, I knew you were the lawyer, and 289 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:41,620 I thought he might have come here. 290 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,580 Rick has disappeared, Perry. He was supposed to be back three hours ago to 291 00:18:45,580 --> 00:18:46,580 her. 292 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:47,900 We'll help find him, Joanna. 293 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,080 But be patient, I'm sure. There's nothing to be alarmed about. Oh, no, no. 294 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,100 Of course not. Perry, be patient. It's not good advice to give to a bride of 295 00:18:56,100 --> 00:18:57,100 only one week. 296 00:18:57,360 --> 00:18:58,360 One week? 297 00:18:58,500 --> 00:19:00,100 Oh, it's barely one day. 298 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,040 We were just married last night on the ship by the captain. 299 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,120 I mean, if you're sure you're not really afraid Rick's in trouble of some kind. 300 00:19:09,420 --> 00:19:10,420 I'm sure he isn't. 301 00:19:10,980 --> 00:19:13,920 I was only reacting to the fact that you were married aboard ship. 302 00:19:14,700 --> 00:19:18,140 I'm sure Rick explained about the old ship's marriage myth. 303 00:19:18,620 --> 00:19:22,450 Myth? Well, it's a common belief that every ship's captain can marry people. 304 00:19:22,650 --> 00:19:25,510 The truth is, very few of them are legally empowered to do so. 305 00:19:26,630 --> 00:19:28,710 Yours obviously had the legal power. 306 00:19:30,390 --> 00:19:31,390 Oh, yes. 307 00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:35,190 Rick told me about that. So did the captain at the point moment. 308 00:19:36,150 --> 00:19:39,750 Well, now, Joanna, you go to your hotel and relax. 309 00:19:41,010 --> 00:19:42,010 Don't worry. 310 00:19:42,990 --> 00:19:43,990 I'll be in touch. 311 00:19:44,290 --> 00:19:46,190 Everything will be all right. Thank you. 312 00:19:46,390 --> 00:19:47,450 Thank you, Mr. Mason. 313 00:19:56,110 --> 00:19:57,110 Oh, Paul, would you please? 314 00:19:58,090 --> 00:19:59,090 What's the matter? 315 00:19:59,530 --> 00:20:00,530 Well, 316 00:20:00,730 --> 00:20:02,470 I know who owns the Point Loma. 317 00:20:03,390 --> 00:20:08,210 The captain of a ship owned by a California resident is not empowered to 318 00:20:08,210 --> 00:20:09,210 people, Della. 319 00:20:10,170 --> 00:20:16,490 I don't know what Rick Scott is up to, but that girl is not legally his wife. 320 00:20:39,189 --> 00:20:41,490 Sorry, Brad. Private property. No trespassing. 321 00:20:41,850 --> 00:20:42,850 Oh? 322 00:20:43,930 --> 00:20:45,390 I didn't notice it was posted. 323 00:20:46,230 --> 00:20:48,910 Well, it takes a little time to get everything done, friend. 324 00:20:49,650 --> 00:20:51,970 And now you'll just have to take my word for it. 325 00:20:52,270 --> 00:20:55,910 Sure.

He realized something 732 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:19,578 was wrong. 733 00:46:19,580 --> 00:46:22,220 Thought he had inadvertently been wasting company money. 734 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,560 True, he made a harmless mistake or two. 735 00:46:25,180 --> 00:46:28,120 But the big mistakes were really arranged by you, weren't they? 736 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:34,060 Please. Please, I didn't mean to... Then he took the books home, and the fat was 737 00:46:34,060 --> 00:46:35,060 in a fire. 738 00:46:35,340 --> 00:46:37,400 He was on the verge of discovering the truth. 739 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,680 Not merely the $60 ,000, but the whole truth. 740 00:46:42,900 --> 00:46:47,760 I'd already deposited the money in his account. But then there were other 741 00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:48,760 accounts. 742 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:52,900 He'd signed certain assignments in other papers, not knowing what they were. 743 00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:55,220 How much were you planning to steal? 744 00:46:57,460 --> 00:46:59,820 A quarter of a million dollars. 745 00:47:00,240 --> 00:47:02,720 And that's what Harvey Scott suddenly stumbled onto? 746 00:47:03,740 --> 00:47:04,740 Yes, he... 747 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:06,160 He told me on the phone. 748 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,720 He called everyone, everyone concerned to come to the house. 749 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,180 Ben, Ben's wife. He called you. 750 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,000 Well, you were there. You used to hear me arrive. 751 00:47:14,260 --> 00:47:17,760 Did I, Mr. Barlow? The killer arrived before Joanna Monfort. 752 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:22,080 The killer struck and fatally injured Harvey Scott, ran out the back, then 753 00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,820 around the block and arrived in time with everyone else. 754 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:29,520 But I didn't kill him. No, that was your accomplice, the former bookkeeper who 755 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:33,380 devised the scheme, who refused to let you give up the chance for a quarter of 756 00:47:33,380 --> 00:47:34,380 million dollars. 757 00:47:35,029 --> 00:47:39,170 Miss Blair, why did Harvey Scott call you to come to the house? 758 00:47:39,550 --> 00:47:42,830 You hadn't worked for the company for over a year. You weren't a stockholder. 759 00:47:43,350 --> 00:47:45,370 You had never been more than a casual friend. 760 00:47:47,110 --> 00:47:48,830 Or was it Barlow who called you? 761 00:47:49,370 --> 00:47:52,530 Barlow who told you that Harvey Scott knew your scheme and was ready to call 762 00:47:52,530 --> 00:47:53,530 authorities. 763 00:47:54,070 --> 00:47:55,770 You couldn't permit that, could you, Pamela? 764 00:47:56,370 --> 00:47:58,770 Even if you had to murder Harvey Scott to prevent it. 765 00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,340 Then it was Pamela's silhouette that Emmalou saw in the window shade hitting 766 00:48:12,340 --> 00:48:13,340 Harvey with a poker. 767 00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,380 Pamela went in the back, murdered him, came out, drove her car around front 768 00:48:18,380 --> 00:48:19,380 as we were all arriving. 769 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:25,780 What I don't understand, what made Perry know that Harvey was about to discover 770 00:48:25,780 --> 00:48:26,780 an embezzlement? 771 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:27,920 Crumpled paper. 772 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:29,480 What? 773 00:48:29,820 --> 00:48:33,180 When Joanna first saw Harvey, the floor was littered with crumpled pieces of 774 00:48:33,180 --> 00:48:34,760 paper. Paper he'd been figuring on. 775 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,220 When we found Joanna and the dead body, there was no paper. 776 00:48:39,020 --> 00:48:42,460 Now, Pamela knew that the old man had been checking the books. She was afraid 777 00:48:42,460 --> 00:48:44,120 that his notes and figures might tip the truth. 778 00:48:44,620 --> 00:48:47,860 She sure must have gathered that paper up and carted it out in one big hurry. 779 00:48:50,380 --> 00:48:51,380 Not so loud. 780 00:48:55,460 --> 00:49:00,260 By virtue of the authority vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife.
