- Just when did you plan on showing me this?

- Probably never.

- In case you may have forgotten,

this was my father's business.

- Which he gave to you and me for me to run.

- And you were supposed to consult with me.

- Just exactly when am I supposed to do that?

Between fittings? Hair appointments?

Manicures? Facials? Massages?

- Between rendezvous with your mistress?

- Don't you wish you could prove that.

- Oh, I will, soon.

- You know, it's hard enough fighting the competitors

without having to fight with my own wife all the time.

- Aah!

- Cut!

♪

- Harrison Cartwright, meet Joanna, Nicole, and Cat,

my faithful and distrusting partners.

(overlapping chatter)

- Tommy says you're having a little trouble on the film.

- Yeah, three serious incidents.

Somebody is out to sabotage my film.

- Any ideas? - None.

And I'm-- I'm desperate-- if I don't get back on schedule,

the studio'll pull the plug.

- Why doesn't the studio provide you with some security?

- Well, they have. You're it.

They sent an advance with your names on it.

- Smart studio.

- We would need you to help us

get one of us undercover on the set.

- Well, that shouldn't be hard, actually,

there's a small part that hasn't been cast.

It's for the part of a beautiful, young wife.

- Young? - Beautiful?

- Well, actually, I was thinking of her.

- (gasping)

- She's never done it before.

- Um, I was Joan of Arc in high school.

- And I played Jane in "Jane Eyre,"

but it could be too risky.

- Yeah, it could be too risky.

- You see...

if I hired either one of you,

my star would feel threatened.

- She could still get hurt.

- You mean bad reviews?

Oh, I don't care, I wanna do it.

- You already said that.

- My Aunt Louise always said I would be a star.

- Another one of your uncle's wives?

- Well, naturally, that's what made her my aunt.

- Hey-hey-hey, don't-don't-don't wind her up.

We'll handle it.

Why don't you, um, introduce me around

as some old friend you discovered who lives here?

That way, I can keep an eye on Joanna.

- Sure, however you want it.

- Whoo!

- How're you feeling?

- How do you think I feel after almost being killed?

- Lucky?

- That's not exactly the word I had in mind.

- You think maybe we can try getting along?

We've got another five weeks here in Mexico.

- Well, in case you hadn't noticed,

I am trying.

- What do you suppose is behind all these accidents?

- Stupidity.

- The film is getting a lot of publicity.

- This film needs a lot of publicity.

- If you hate it so much, why are you doing it?

- Because, unlike you,

I don't have my next job lined up.

- How do you know that? - I know more about you

than you want me to know.

- My resume.

Study in New York, Regional Theater.

Commercials.

- Hey, before you rush off, Meryl,

we need background checks on all the cast and crew.

- I have to get this to Mr. Cartwright right away.

I'll have to do it later.

- I think we have created a monster.

- Mm-hmm.

(door slamming)

♪

- Hi. - Hi.

- Are you okay? I forgot to talk to you

after everything settled down last night.

- Yeah, I'm okay.

A little bruised, but okay.

- It was really brave, the way you jumped in and shoved

Jeanette out of the way.

- Yeah, I was there. Had to do something.

- Yeah, well, she wouldn't've risked her neck

to save you.

- Well, she's a star.

- You know, you're really good at what you do.

You ever think about coming to the States to work?

- Oh, no no no.

This is my country, my home.

I love Mexico.

- Well, maybe when you get a chance,

you'll show me some of it.

- Yeah, sure.

- Gwen, Amilio, say hi to Tommy.

He's an old surfing buddy.

- (giggling) - Hi.

- Hi.

- Well, Tommy's gonna hang around and watch us make

a little, you know, movie magic.

- Harrison makes great magic.

- That's what I hear.

- I met the new girl. Joanna.

- Uh-huh? - I should've had that part.

- Gwen, sweetheart,

you read for that part in the beginning.

You're not right for it.

You can't take roles you're not right for.

She's such a hussy.

Vance Ellison, Jeanette Winston,

I'd like you to meet an old friend of mine

who I discovered lives here.

- How're you doing? - Hey, how're you doing?

- Well, if you live here, then you can be

the perfect tour guide.

- I don't know about perfect,

but... I'd probably get a passing grade anyway.

- I'll bet you can.

- And over there is Joanna Barnes.

- Hey. - Hi.

- Pleased to meet you.

- Girls.

- Uh-oh, Joanna's now a real actress.

- We're in trouble. - Mm-hmm.

- More old friends?

- Actually, darling, I've hired these detectives

to get to the bottom of what's going on here.

- You're kidding, right?

- Are you really detectives?

- Where exactly did you find these two?

- The studio hired them and said they're the best.

- Why? - Why?

I don't know... because they look like

they probably advertise on billboards around town.

Most likely wearing bikinis.

- No, actually, we have no need for notoriety.

Our styles do our talking.

- We've found the less we show, the more effective we are.

- Effective at what, darling?

- Oh, everything we do.

We try harder.

- Mm. - If you would excuse us,

we'd like to find a better conversation.

- Absolutely-- anything you need.

- She must've gotten out of the wrong side

of the bed this morning.

(both chuckling)

- Thanks.

- I bet you they won't be in any hurry to solve this mystery.

- Why do you see that? - Free lunches.

(retching)

(retching)

- Okay, people, let's go to work here.

We got a film to shoot, all right?

Bruno and Fred are fine, it's nothing fatal.

Let's go. - The medic said that

they're gonna be just fine.

- In a couple of days, they'll be back at work.

- Well, I'm not going back to work until it's agreed

that food will be brought in for the cast

from a different hotel every day.

- What about the crew?

You want 'em to taste it for you?

- No, I meant the crew, darling.

I was including the crew when I said "cast."

- I bet she did.

- We have already made arrangements

for food to be brought in as soon as we're dressed.

- Why don't I find that reassuring?

- I don't know-- why don't you?

- Because you're employed by Harrison here,

and it's to his benefit that we don't get any more scared

than we already are.

- No one is saying "don't be afraid."

We're just saying that the stuff used in the food was not lethal.

- Just like the switchknife wasn't lethal.

And just like the fallen arc light wasn't lethal.

Just like everything that's happened here

wasn't lethal.

- All right, all right, ladies and gentlemen,

let's get back to work now, we got film to shoot.

Gwen, wardrobe, please?

Gentlemen, if you could just help me out over here.

- Oh, all right, I'll go talk to Jeanette.

- You don't want Vince?

- Nah, actors don't do it for me.

- He's very good-looking.

- Yeah... I know.

- "Right this minute, that doesn't mean a lot."

Hmm-hmm-hmm, "No, it doesn't."

"I'm sure you said," um...

"I'm sure you said the same thing to your wife

when you left the house this morning."

Hmm-hmm.

"Why don't I believe you?"

"Why don't I believe you?"

- Would you like some help?

(chuckles)

- Oh, can you?

- Sure, I can read the guy's part for you.

- Oh, that'd be great.

- Why would anyone as pretty as you

want to spend their lives pretending to be other people?

- For now, it's fun, and you entertain people.

For a couple of hours, they can forget their troubles.

- Well, it's not like you're curing

some terrible disease, no?

- No, but you're not giving it to them, either.

- Not if the film is any good.

- Oh, I never thought of that.

(both chuckling)

- Okay, here?

"I'm really glad you could make it."

- "Why?"

- "Because I love you."

- "Right this minute, that doesn't mean a lot."

- "My telling you I love you?"

- "Why don't I believe you?"

- I don't know-- why don't you?

- Stick to the script.

This is hard enough.

- Maybe you should try nursing or something like that.

(overlapping shouting)

- If you have a few minutes, I'd like to ask you

some questions.

- More than a minute with you

is a waste of my time.

- Do you have any idea why somebody would

want to sabotage this film?

- Well, if they'd read the script,

they would realize that the writer had already

done an exemplary job.

- Well, if the script's so bad, why did you take the part?

- It's called work.

Staying in the business? A girl has to eat.

- Not too much.

- Adjustments, mechanical repairs...

it's deductible.

And now your minute is up.

- I have no idea who or why.

- Can you think of somebody who would have something to gain

by this film being stopped?

- Well, it sure isn't me.

This is my shot.

I've parked cars, waited tables, done phone sales,

and generally kissed a lot of butt

waiting for a chance in the film.

- Somebody seems determined to shut it down.

- Then find out who it is.

I'll kill 'em.

- So, can you recommend a good place

to eat dinner in town?

- Oh, I thought they were feeding here tonight.

- I'm not eating another thing off of that catering truck.

No, I'm going to restaurants, thank you.

- Doesn't that make it kinda hard to get back here

if they need you?

- That's not my problem.

- Well, uh, do you like hot?

- What?

- I-- do you like hot, spicy food?

- I love it.

- Well, good, 'cause I know a place that serves

food so hot, you'll pray for poison.

- So, is that a formal invitation?

- Well, it's as close of one as I can get.

You want food, I'll feed you.

- Well, if I make it through today's work alive,

I'd love to.

(Joanna clearing throat)

- Action.

- You have to call it off.

- Why don't you just ask me to rip out my heart

and throw it in the trash?

- He's married. - He wants me.

- If you don't walk away,

he's gonna leave you like roadkill.

- Not a chance.

- She's got money, he's not gonna leave.

- The business is half his.

The money, too.

- Listen, as long as you're not gonna leave the guy,

how about seeing if you can borrow 10,000 from him?

- You mean you-- you can't cover lunch?

- Cut-- was it good for you?

Let's print.

Gwen...

Gwen, honey?

You fed Joanna the wrong lines twice.

- Sorry.

- Either way, the scene works.

- It was okay? Really?

- It was fine.

- I saw that it was loose from there.

- That's enough to make it fall?

- Well, there is a lot of stuff hanging all over the stage.

All of it has to be checked.

Just happened to see it this time.

Well, she was very lucky you were paying attention.

Keep your eyes peeled for anything that

isn't braced like it should be.

- Sure, that's what I always do.

- Thanks.

- Well, if it was up to me, I'd give you all the time you want.

- Tell me what you want.

Anything.

- You make me wish I had the money to pay off Sean for you.

- Well, tell him-- he'll listen to you.

- Too late, you shot off your mouth

about how they can collect me.

- Oh, I was drunk.

I wouldn't say anything like that.

I'm not that stupid.

- So you were stupid, same thing.

I still want the money.

You're only making it worse on yourself.

The money, now.

- Give me a break!

A week, three days.

- I can't do it.

(gunshots)

- Crazy! - ...crazy?

- Hey, look, there's holes in the set!

(Tommy) - Stay tuned for more "Acapulco H.E.A.T."

(Gwen) - Oh, my God.

- Shh, calm down, calm down.

- Oh, my God.

- I'll be back, okay?

Right over there.

(man) - Steve is the prop...

- Well, if they hadn't used steel-jacketed bullets,

I'd've never noticed.

- Well, whoever it is is getting serious.

- Serious or stupid-- one of these,

go right through you into somebody else.

- Do you think Harrison bringing us in

has caused this new attack?

- Hard to say.

This guy is a phantom.

- I talked to the prop man.

He swears that the guns were loaded with blanks.

- This is no blank.

- He said, with everything

that's been going all around,

he'd double-check.

- Do you think it could be one of the new actors?

- No, they just got in this morning.

- Which means they were never here

when all the other accidents occurred.

- The Phantom was.

- Feeling better?

- It's gonna be a long time before I feel better.

- Here, take a sip of this-- it'll help.

- I heard the bullets go by. I've never been so scared.

- It's a good thing Tommy knocked you out of the way.

- God, I don't even wanna think about if he hadn't been there.

- Oh... it's tequila.

Cures everything. - You could've warned me.

- Well, if I'd've warned you, then you wouldn't have sipped it.

And it wouldn't've taken the accident off your mind.

(chuckling)

- I don't think that was any accident.

- Why would anybody want me dead?

- I haven't done anything to anybody.

I mean, I can understand why someone would want

to drop a wall on Jeanette.

But I'm nice to people.

- We are doing everything we can.

- Well, that's not enough.

I need results-- I've got my first AD

out on the street looking for replacement crew.

- What, you mean the really tall guy

who speaks bad Spanish?

- Yeah. That's him.

Why don't you ask somebody like Amilio, who knows the language?

- He speaks well enough, all right?

- I heard him ask a caterer for a car battery

to put on his sandwich.

- Well?

- The prop guy left the guns

to get a holster that he forgot.

But he was willing to take a blood oath

he wasn't gone two minutes.

- You believe him?

- I think so... yeah, I do.

- Well, I'm glad you found out when it was done.

Now, maybe you can find out who.

- Well, do you have any new thoughts on the subject?

- No. - Well, I vote it's personal.

Or someone with some broken toys in the attic.

- It's not a political picture.

No extreme group interview.

- Why don't you give some more thought to somebody

who might want you personally.

- It's not just me.

The studio is gonna take it in the shorts

for... ten mil.

- Either way, it's gotta be someone

who can hang around without drawing any suspicion.

- So the Phantom is someone we've all seen

and talked to.

- And meanwhile, I've got a cast and crew

that's too sc--

scared to work tonight.

So I'm gonna go another day behind.

- I've been looking everywhere for you.

- Well, it looks like Jeanette's found her bodyguard.

- How do you want to handle the rest?

- Well, why don't I take Vance and Gwen,

and you stay here with Harrison?

- Okay. - Stay with me-- why?

- Until we can lock you into a hotel,

for the night, just for security.

- Do you really think that's necessary?

- I'd say yes.

- Sounds good to me.

- You're the first real-life hero I ever met.

- Ha, well, most people would've done the same thing.

- You made me think of secret servicemen

who are sworn to throw themselves

in front of the bullet.

- Taking a bullet wasn't what I had in mind.

- So it's not like

boys and their toys.

- What?

- Well, you know, it's actions like that

that separate men from the boys.

Not toys.

- I don't know, I...

I kinda got a fondness for toys.

- Well, would you like to pull my string

and see what a cooperative toy I can be?

(chuckling)

- I would like to get you both back

to the hotel before dark.

- Just a couple things from my chair--

my script and my water and stuff.

- Mm-hmm.

- I don't know why I have to go with you.

I could've gotten Amilio to take me back to the hotel.

- Well, right now Cartwright wants us

to take care of the cast.

- If trouble were to start, I think Amilio would probably

do a better job of protecting me.

- I wouldn't bet a whole heck of a lot of money

on anyone else if I were you.

Come on, let's go.

- As much as I hate to admit it,

it does feel a little funny

having a woman for a bodyguard.

- Will it make you feel a whole heck of a lot better

if I looked like a pro-football linebacker?

After getting that group back to the hotel,

I have a new respect for preschool teachers

all over the world.

- They're just frightened.

- Well, so are pre-schoolers,

but they're better behaved.

- Hmm-- well?

- I've got the background information on the cast,

but the crew is international.

It'll take longer. Sometime tomorrow.

(door opens)

- Well, if it isn't Elizabeth Taylor's next husband.

- Got lost trying to find the hotel?

- (chuckling) You two would do well, y'know?

Small stage, Jersey City.

- So tell us, is she for real,

or is she an assembly-line model?

- Jean would never tell.

- I know, that's why I'm asking you.

- My, my. - Secrets time.

- Who do you have? - Jeanette.

Harrison? - Yes.

Mr. Director and Mrs. Star

were married to each other ten years ago.

- Huh. - I don't know about those two,

but... our boy Vance has another movie.

A bigger one that starts shooting

two weeks before this one finishes.

He negotiated a credit line into the contract.

We'll talk to them in the morning.

I'll, uh, check on the set tonight.

- Right, and I'm going cliff-diving in the dark.

- And it's okay if I practice my lines?

My big scene is tomorrow.

- Can I interest you in a light dinner?

- Yes, you can.

Lobster? Champagne?

- Of course, we are on expenses.

- Mariachi? - Absolutely.

- Oh, hang on, I can study later.

(Cat) - Stay tuned, the "Acapulco H.E.A.T." team

will be right back.

- Why is it dark in here?

Do you see a light switch?

- No-- the other side?

- There!

See if you can find a first-aid kit.

And stay alert, because whoever did this may still be around!

- I hope they are!

- Look for some smelling salts.

- Okay. - Yeah, good.

Oh, easy.

What happened?

(Tommy groaning)

- Somebody swung that sandbag over there,

and it decked me.

- Huh.

Well, somebody knows the rigging on a stage.

- Doesn't eliminate anybody.

- Yeah, well, doesn't take a real genius.

- Wow, let's get some sleep.

We can ruin everybody's day tomorrow

by talking about some secrets that they may have.

- Mm-hmm.

- God, you're heavy.

- Then you lied to me.

- Look, we felt it'd be safer for everyone

if one of us was wandering around undercover.

- Well, I don't like being lied to.

- Neither do we. - What do you mean by that?

- Well, I mean, you conveniently failed to mention that

you used to be married to Harrison.

- Well, I try to block that out,

but what does that have to do with anything?

- Well, it would depend on if you disliked him enough

to wanna wreck his movie.

- I'm the star of this movie.

I'm the one who gets wrecked.

- I wasn't there, I don't know

how close of a call it really was.

- You know, for someone who used to be so cute and cuddly,

you certainly have changed.

- You know, getting hit on the head kind of does it to me.

- Well, I'm not the one who did it.

- Well, I hope that's true.

Look, why did Harrison put you in the movie?

- Ask him. - I'm asking you.

- It was part of the divorce agreement.

- I was, uh, in love

with this French woman that I met on an airplane.

I wanted out of the marriage.

So... you know, I would've...

agreed to anything.

- Why now?

Why put Jeanette in this film?

- Well, the agreement gave me until December of this year.

- You mean, if you had a choice,

you wouldn't have used her.

- That's right, you know...

she's gotten hard over the last few years.

And it comes out in her acting.

- Well, divorce will do that to a woman.

- So will age.

Now, look, I-- you know,

I'm not gonna make any apologies.

- How is she doing in this film?

- She's being an absolute bitch.

But to her credit,

she's turning in one of her better performances.

- What happens to her career if this film never sees

the light of day?

- What career?

Mine, on the other hand, turns to quicksand.

You see, if a film doesn't get delivered,

the director takes the heat.

- Well, you'd better start thinking harder

about who would like to see you fail.

- I have. I can't figure it out.

You see, I try and treat people

like I would like to be treated.

- So, you don't think you have any enemies.

- Well, to have enemies in the film business,

all you have to do is be alive and working.

I just don't have any who are any more violent than

leaving me off their Christmas list.

- Did you know Vance has another movie

that starts before this one is scheduled to finish?

- What?

- I didn't say anything because

I've been trying to get the next film pushed back.

- Yeah, but it still would be to your advantage

if the movie shut down, right?

- I don't do business that way.

- Yeah, not on the surface, huh?

- I'll finish this film,

even if it costs me the next film.

- Yeah, that's pretty honorable for this day and age.

- Because I'm in this business doesn't mean I don't try

to do what's right.

- Okay, well, why not tell Harrison?

- It's none of his business.

And he's got enough on his mind.

- And you don't wanna burden him?

- Why is that so hard for you to accept?

(Cat chuckling)

- Well, the people I deal with

usually aren't on their best behavior.

- Well, this one is.

And he has some work to do.

So, if you'll excuse me.

- Okay, we're rolling.

(overlapping chatter)

- We're rolling. - Tail slate.

- Action.

- Well...

if it isn't my husband's little paramour.

- You know who I am?

- There's nothing about my husband that I don't know.

Come in if you feel you have something important to say.

- I love Victor.

- I'd offer you a drink,

but if that's an example of what you think

is important conversation, you won't be here long enough.

- You can't be sure of that.

- How long have you been there?

- Probably longer than you would like.

- I thought you were gonna be at your office.

- I told you I would deal with my wife.

- I thought maybe if I told her about us, she'd give in.

- What, so you could run off and make babies?

Hah! I don't think so.

In fact, I'll make sure you don't.

- You're too late.

- Oh, I hope that doesn't mean

what I think it means.

- Why didn't you say something?

- Because I didn't know what I was going to do until tonight.

- What we are going to do, my love,

is...

fly, drive, run, walk,

take a train to the ice cream shop-- I'm sorry.

- Cut, cut, give him the line. We'll go again.

- We're gonna have to do it once more?

I have to cry again?

- Don't worry, you were great.

- I was?

- Wow.

It's gonna be hard to keep her back down on the farm.

(Tommy) - Yeah, or in the H.E.A.T. room.

Maybe we should go down there without her

and check on the crew files.

- And miss Joanna's next scene?

- Good.

- Yeah, what do you think of Vance?

- Well, either he's too good to be true,

or I'm gonna start dating him.

- What about Ms. Warmth?

- Well, I don't think she's forgiven Harrison

for leaving her. - You think she's the one?

- Not really.

- Was that your brain, your heart,

or some other part of your anatomy talking?

- I'm ignoring you.

Got a couple felonies.

- Hey, I'll trade you two deadbeat dads for one felony.

- Okay. - (laughing)

- Bruno, the one that was poisoned,

has a couple of warrants out for him.

- What for?

- Parking tickets.

He only hates parking meters.

- Hey, some of these crew members have already quit.

- This one hasn't.

He could be our friend.

- Where's Amilio? - I don't know-- why?

- We need to talk to him.

- Do you think he's the one?

- We won't know till we talk to him.

- Why-- why him? He's been a great help.

- His father was killed working on a movie

in Mexico for the studio.

- Let's split up.

(muffled shriek)

- Hey, what the hell?

Let her go, creep!

- Help! - Shut up, or I'll kill you!

- Tommy!

Tommy!

- He took her that way.

How do I look?

- Stunning.

- Tommy! Hey!

(Amilio) - Get up there!

- Aah!

- I'll kill her.

- Hey, I-- I know why you're doing this.

- Oh, no, you don't.

- Yeah, your father, he was killed on a film set.

- I'm sorry. - Shut up!

- It wasn't just any film.

It was a film Harrison's father was directing.

- You're gonna make the son pay for the sins of the father?

- He made the crew work 18 to 20 hours a day...

then got tired and careless,

and my father had to pay for it.

- It was an accident, nobody meant for him to die.

- Oh, now you remember, Harrison.

- Yes-- I'm sorry it happened.

- That's it? You're just sorry?

My family was destroyed!

- Back out of here, you're making yourself a target.

- How old were you when your father died?

- What difference does it make?

- Must've been tough on your mother.

- There were four.

Four... little... kids.

Aah!

- Tommy!

Don't hurt him...

...too much more.

- You wanna adopt him?

- I don't think he would've hurt me.

- Well, I couldn't take that chance.

- I know.

Real life, huh?

- Very real.

(Joanna) - Stay tuned, the "H.E.A.T." team will be right back.

- You know...

lately I have this feeling that I just wanna

let out my artistic side.

You know, I'd like to expose my inner feeling.

To... to just give of myself.

- I find that deep... profound and deep.

- Do you? - Mm-hmm.

- Do you also have a feeling you just wanna change your life?

To get out of the humdrum of everyday living?

To just break out, you know?

- Of course, no more fast cars.

Danger, beautiful sunsets, romance.

- Palm trees, surf.

Sun, food.

- Lobsters, shrimp, fresh fruit.

- Cold beer.

- Tequila.

- Mariachi. - Cold beer.

- I am not going anywhere.

- Really? You're not?

- No.

- What about the audience?

The roar of the crowd?

The applause? What about your fans?

- Hmm, what fans?

- We're it, Joanna, we're your fan club.

(laughing)

- Thank you, Cat.

I'll always know that.

So, if you guys want my autograph,

I'll understand.

- Aww.

- Oh, I am sure.
