I've been writing
for the past 12 years.
- Surprise, huh?
- Well, not so much.
You always wanted to write
the great American novel.
Well, I'm afraid that one's gonna
have to wait for a little while.
You don't become a Hemingway
just because you want to,
you have to have it in you.
Oh, you've always had it in you.
The trick was getting it out.
Just like old times.
You may be
right about that, Jonathan.
But in the meantime,
I've been writing mysteries.
Mysteries?
- We love mysteries.
- Really?
Could we have read any of
them or seen any of them?
Well, you might have
stumbled across one or two.
You wouldn't have known it was me.
I've been writing under a pseudonym.
Save the real thing for the real
thing, if you know what I mean.
You ever hear of Stacey Rodgers?
- Stacey Rodgers?
- Are you Stacey Rodgers?
Guilty.
- Hey, that's terrific!
- Really?
Yeah.
We've read most of her books.
I mean, we've read most of your books.
I had no idea.
Anyway, that's what
I'm doing here.
And I've read a couple of your books.
You've done wonderful work.
I didn't know
you were with Raine.
Thank you. I'm not.
Well, not yet.
As always, Jon, you done good.
I don't know what happened
to me in that department.
Things just didn't work
out the way I'd planned.
And it's your fault.
Hanging around with you
all those years,
I guess I just wouldn't
settle for second best.
Just between
you and me, Jennifer,
there was many a night I lay awake
plotting this man's murder.
- Ahem.
- You okay?
I'm fine.
I'm just a little tired.
Its' been a long, long day.
Maybe we could take
this up tomorrow, okay Frank?
How about a threesome? Raine has got
a fabulous 18 hole golf course here.
Hey, I would love that,
as long as it's not too early.
- Ten?
- Fine.
- See you then.
- All right. You get some rest.
- Good to see you, Jonny.
- Thanks, Frank.
Why didn't
you say anything? God!
- What was I gonna say?
- Well...
Gee, Frank, it's good to see
you, and while we're at it
my wife thinks
you're a murderer?
- No.
- Darling, think about it. If you're right,
then you don't want
him to know that you know.
No, that's right.
I didn't think about it that way.
But we just can't do nothing.
Look, we'll meet him tomorrow
for a little golf.
We'll go out on the golf course, have
a little small talk conversation
and then we'll play it by ear.
All right. All right.
- Just relax.
- Mmm-hmm.
- Put your hands together.
- Uh-huh.
- Move them back and forth.
- Like that?
Very slowly.
- Oh.
- Very softly.
- That's good.
- Mmm-hmm.
Ahh!
Have you been
practicing without me?
No, no, no.
It's just beginner's luck.
You wouldn't want to bet
me on the next one?
Joking. Just joking.
Oh, sure. Practicing.
No fair, Jon.
I was just giving Jennifer
some pointers.
Well, I got some good news
and some bad news.
The bad news is the sprinkler
system went bonkers. No golf today.
But the good news is that our
illustrious host, Mr. Alfred
"I Supply My Guests With Everything"
Raine has taken care of things.
Instead of golf, a bunch of us are
gonna do some deep sea fishing.
Hey! I'd love that.
I was hoping to get some
fishing in while I was here.
Well, great, now you've
got your chance.
I'll see you
at the boat in 30 minutes.
- You got it.
- Don't be late.
Darling! Great news.
Guess what?
We're going fishing.
Fishing?
Darling!
Darling, I just spoke with Al.
Frank got a business call, that's
why we took off without him.
- So?
- So?
Don't you think
that's a little convenient?
Well, maybe with a little luck
we could get shipwrecked.
Jonathan!
Just imagine you and me alone for a
weekend on a deserted island, huh?
- Relax.
- I am relaxed.
I'm relaxed.
- Darling, what's wrong?
- Uh, no.
- Feel a little queasy.
- Really?
I think I'll go below.
Is that your stomach?
Catch a big one, darling.
But darling,
I have to tell you something.
Kind of lost my sea legs, here.
Darling.
Oh, Al,
you've got to stop this boat.
- What?
- Don't ask me to explain.
Just stop the boat.
Why, is something wrong?
It's gonna burst into flames.
What are you talking about?
Please don't ask me to
explain, just stop the boat.
Jennifer, my mechanics go over
these boats at least once a week,
there's nothing
wrong with the engine.
How can you be sure?
All right, if it'll make you feel
better, we'll take a look. Hmm?
- Good.
- Ralph, would you see to it?
- Yes, sir.
- Ooh!
Don't you think it's a good idea
to take the fire extinguisher?
- I don't think it's necessary.
- Please, humor me.
Good.
Dear God!
Get me the pliers
from that tool chest.
Well, there's the problem.
That wire's been stripped back
way too far.
This is very sloppy work.
Now, how did you know
about this?
fire before it even happened.
Well, didn't you smell it?
No, I didn't smell anything.
Well, I smelled it very strongly
from where I was standing.
I naturally assumed
it was in the engine.
Well, I guess,
we're all very lucky
you have such a great
sense of smell.
How are you doing?
Oh, fine,
I'm feeling much better.
- You are?
- Yeah.
- Much better.
- Oh, that's nice.
Because I have bad news.
What is it?
Frank Culver
just tried to kill you.
What are you talking about?
Everything that just happened.
I overheard Frank planning.
Darling, you heard Al.
The motor had faulty wiring.
And I heard Frank.
Get the man on the fishing boat.
Drug him so he'll go below
and go to sleep
and then burn the boat.
And, ha-ha,
Frank so conveniently missed
the proverbial boat.
I don't understand. Why would
Frank want to kill me?
I don't know.
But didn't he say he was
thinking of killing you?
Oh, people use that expression
all the time.
Well, maybe he was jealous
of your success
after all these years.
Well, I'm sure there's a reasonable
explanation for all of this.
Don't stare at me, squirt.
Go on, get something useful.
Hey, Max. How's it going?
It's going, Duke.
I need a tip.
Sort of... Inside stuff.
The Fifth at Santa Anita.
I'll guarantee it.
Not the ponies, Duke.
Stock market.
The stock market?
What are you, nuts?
Nah, stick with the ponies,
Max, it's a lot safer.
Come on,
you can do better than that.
Safer or not, I got to find out
who's buying up the hot
industry stock.
What kind of buying
are we talking about?
Big boys.
Forget the kiddie stuff.
How come your boss isn't
doing this himself?
He and Mrs. H are out for the big
bash at Alfred Raine's place.
Alfred Raine, the publisher,
the guy with the island?
The shoe was better than that.
Come on, squirt. Try again.
That's the place.
Okay, Max, but I'm a bookie.
I'm not real comfortable
with these stock market types.
Thanks, Duke.
Where's the mutt?
What do you got there, squirt?
Oh, my God!
Bring that back!
Uh-oh. Let's get out of here.
Hey, uh, Jonathan, Jennifer.
