Hart to Hart: Old Friends Never Die Page #7

---

What's so important

about the Holmes family?

He had a stepson.

I bet you didn't know that.

But wait, it gets better.

You know all that stock stuff

you had me running down?

Well, guess who's been buying out Mr.

Hart's stock?

The stepson.

Now, I'll give you one shot at

guessing who the stepson is.

Alfred Raine.

I gotta call the Harts.

Now, give the dog a prize.

Jeez.

Darling, do you know what

bag my glasses would be in?

Try the zipper one.

The chopper's supposed to

come from this direction.

What's this?

I don't know.

"I wanted you to be the first.

"You convinced me

that I can survive

"even if it's only good."

- What is it?

- Fool's Gold by Frank Culver.

Must be the galleys

to the book he wrote.

Under his own name?

Yeah, he promised to write

this book a long time ago.

"This is a book about youth.

"It's also a book about dreams.

"I suppose that it's no surprise

"how often those two words

walk hand in hand.

"If it were not for

the dreams of our youth,

"the sheer belief

in the possible,

"our world would

be without fancy,

"without color, without music.

"Therefore I dedicate this book

"not to one person

but to my adolescence.

"To all that I believe possible

"and to the good friends who

convinced me to go on believing."

Oh, that's beautiful.

I promised him I'd help him

get this book published.

And you know what?

You're gonna keep that promise.

Here we are!

Over here!

Shouldn't we be heading east?

I've got one more stop to make

on the far side of the island.

Another call.

He said he's got another stop on

the other side of the island.

He's got another call on the

other side of the island.

Somebody called you

from down there?

You'll have to get out here.

I don't understand.

I said, get out!

I don't get it, squirt.

Still no answer.

Mr. H said they'd be

in Honolulu by now.

Yeah, I've been trying to reach Mr. and

Mrs. Hart for a couple of hours now.

What do you mean,

"they didn't check in"?

They were supposed to

check in four hours ago.

Okay, thanks.

Something ain't

right here, squirt.

I think maybe it's time

we call the Honolulu cops.

Darling.

Darling, this is crazy. It must

be 40 miles back to that house.

Well, that's four miles

less than when we started.

We'll stop further up.

Oh, darling. Can we just

wait a minute?

Oh!

I hate to bring this up

at a time like this,

but, you know, even when

we get back to the house

we're still gonna be in

the same predicament.

I'm open to suggestions.

Jonathan! Welcome to the

game's final round.

Alfred!

How does it feel, Jonathan?

How does it feel

to be toyed with,

to be run ragged until you

drop with exhaustion?

Until there's nothing

left of you...

- Alfred, what is this all about?

- Not even the will to live?

I don't think he can hear you.

That's what you did

to my stepfather.

Isn't it, Jonathan?

Do you remember him, huh?

Holmes. Rupert Holmes.

You played with him.

Even though, through it all,

you held all the cards.

You didn't even

have to toss him out.

You set him up

to do that himself.

Well, unfortunately

I can't count on you

taking the same way out.

But I can push you.

I can push you

to the end of your rope.

You may survive, you may not.

But isn't that what

games are all about?

Let's find some cover.

Oh!

That's a hell of a way

to make a point.

- Come on. Let's go.

- Go.

Next year, let's just

go to the movies.

Are you beginning

to know the feeling, Jonathan?

Beginning to know

what it feels like

to be at the end of your line

with nowhere to run?

No!

I've been waiting a long

time for this, Jonathan.

Game's over.

Al...

How could you do this?

I never tried

to hurt your father.

Too little, too late,

Jonathan. Just like now.

- No.

- I win.

Now!

Ah!

Game, set and match.

Go on, Stanley.

Stanley, go on.

I've got stage fright.

Oh, don't be silly.

It's all in the script. All

you have to do is say it.

I can't.

Oh, there's nothing to it.

You just have to look

at the camera and say,

"Hello!

"We're safe and sound

and we're here in Hawaii."

Say it.

You just said it.

Oh, all right.

Well then, forget all that.

Now you just look

at the camera and you say,

"We love you, we miss

you, we'll be home soon."

- Go on.

- You just said it.

You know something, Ollie?

- What?

- I love you.

That's not in the script.

I know.

Now what do we say?

I got an idea. Hey, Max?

Max, you're gonna see something

now you've never seen before

and you never will again.

- Bye.

- Bye. Have a nice vacation.

So long, you guys.

- We love you.

- All right, Ollie. Do it.

I really love those two.

- Do it?

- Do it, Ollie.

Oh, don't make me do it.

All right, Stanley.

There's another fine mess

you've gotten us into.

Now, that's what

I call a postcard.
