Jane Doe: The Harder They Fall Page #8

THAT'S A CRIME

OF CONVENIENCE.

BUT DRUGGING YOU

AND THE CAPTAIN?

THAT'S PREMEDITATED MURDER.

SO YOU THINK:

I WAS DRUGGED?

I'M SURE OF IT.

THANKS.

CAN'T BELIEVE I LET YOU

TALK ME INTO THIS AGAIN.

DON'T WORRY.

FRANK'S NOT GONNA FIND OUT.

LET'S TRY THIS.

IT'S CLEAR. COME ON.

- SO YOU UNDERSTAND?

- IT'S HORRIBLE.

THEY WON'T LOOK TWICE

WHEN I ESCORT YOU IN,

BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO GE CAUGHT IN HORNING'S OFFICE.

THERE'S A SECURITY SWEEP

EVERY 2 HOURS.

THE SPY GUNS ARE DISGUISED

AS SO MUCH SEXIER IN NOVELS.

CAN YOU PULL IT OFF?

CLEAN ONE ROOM IN 2 HOURS

WITH NO TEENAGERS INVOLVED--

I THINK I CAN HANDLE IT.

YOU'LL BE SEARCHED

ON THE WAY OUT,

SO DON'T TAKE ANYTHING.

GOT IT.

ELEVATOR'S UP THERE.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

MM-HMM.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

[INDISTINCT]

[MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

Guard:
JUST DO

A CLEAN SWEEP,

THEN YOU'LL CALL, UH...

[GUARD SPEAKING INAUDIBLY]

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF

A COINCIDENCE:

THAT SHAUNESSY AND DeSTEFANO

HAVE THE SAME ADDRESS.

MAYBE THEY ELOPED.

SO NOW THAT WE'RE SURE

THAT ONE OF THE 4 VICE

PRESIDENTS MURDERED HORNING,

YOU'RE BRINGING 'EM IN, HUH?

LET'S SEE WHA THEY HAVE TO SAY FIRST.

OH, I'M SURE

THEY'LL HAVE A LOT TO SAY.

HERE IT IS.

WELL, THE SALE

CAN'T BE DOWN,

SO I'M GONNA HAVE TO GET ALL

THE EXPENSES BALANCED...

HELLO.

INTERESTING FINDING

YOU BOTH HERE TOGETHER.

MR. DARNELL, MS. DOE.

THERE'S A SIMPLE

EXPLANATION.

WHAT WOULD THAT BE?

WE WENT INTO BUSINESS

TOGETHER.

OURSELVES--

AS MARKETING CONSULTANTS

TO THE CEREAL INDUSTRY.

FRANCESCA AND I HAVE

ALWAYS GOTTEN ON WELL,

SO WE THOUGH AFTER HORNING'S DEATH

WE WOULD GET TOGETHER,

OPEN UP OUR OWN SHOP.

I DON'T THINK SO.

CUSTOM-MADE SIGN,

PRIME REAL ESTATE.

ENGRAVED LETTERING

ON YOUR BUSINESS CARDS.

THAT ALL TAKES TIME.

HIS DEATH WAS PRETTY

CONVENIENT FOR YOU.

OH, YEAH. YOU COULD SAY

HIS BAD LUCK WAS OUR GOOD LUCK.

PERSONA DE LA SUERTE?

A PERSON MAKES HIS OWN LUCK?

WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING?

I CAN SAVE YOU A LOT OF TIME.

WE DID IT.

WE'RE GUILTY.

WE GOT TOGETHER:

WITH THE OTHER EXECS,

WE COVERED UP THE TIME

OF THE OLD MAN'S DEATH.

I DON'T KNOW WHY

IT'S SUCH A BIG DEAL.

HE WAS ALREADY GONE.

HORNING JUST DIDN'T FALL

INTO THE OCEAN.

SOMEONE KNOCKED HIM OU AND PUSHED HIM OVERBOARD.

HE WAS MURDERED?

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU CAN'T BE THINKING

THAT WE HAD ANYTHING

TO DO WITH IT.

YOU BOTH HAD MOTIVE.

WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT.

WE WERE TOGETHER

THE WHOLE TIME.

SHE WAS NEVER:

OUT OF MY SIGHT.

LOOK, YOU'VE

ALREADY ADMITTED

TO COVERING UP HIS DEATH.

BUT IT WASN'T MURDER.

THIS IS-- THIS IS

A WHOLE OTHER THING.

- I WASN'T--

- SAVE IT.

GUYS...

IT'S OK.

IT'S OK, BABY.

I NEED YOU TO STAND UP,

PUT YOUR HANDS UP

AGAINST THE WALL.

THEY CAN ALIBI EACH OTHER

ALL THEY WANT.

IT'S TAINTED TESTIMONY.

FELONY MURDER--

EVERYBODY TAKES A HIT.

YEAH. WELL, I DON'T THINK

THEY DID IT.

SURE, THEY HAD

AN ECONOMIC MOTIVE,

BUT SOMETHING ABOUT THIS

SAYS CRIME OF PASSION TO ME.

LET'S TRY VASQUEZ.

YOU JUST WANT TO SEE

IF HE SPEAKS SPANISH

SO YOU DON'T LOSE YOUR BET.

VASQUEZ WAS THE ONE

TAILING YOU YESTERDAY.

THAT'S WEIRD.

WONDER WHY.

DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE HE THINKS YOU'RE CUTE.

IT'S THE C.S.A.

NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WANT TO CLEAR UP SOME

DETAILS ON YOUR BOSS' DEATH.

WHAT EXACTLY WAS YOUR

RELATIONSHIP WITH HORNING?

HONESTLY?

I HATED HIM.

HE TREATED US LIKE SERVANTS.

THE MAN WOULD HAVE MEETINGS

WHILE HE WAS IN THE BATHTUB,

ALL RIGHT?

IT WAS HUMILIATING.

WHY DIDN'T YOU LEAVE?

DID YOU EVER READ ONE

OF HIS EMPLOYEE CONTRACTS?

I WOULD HAVE LOS MY HEALTH BENEFITS,

MY RETIREMENT PLAN.

I THINK HE HAD AN OPTION

ON MY FIRSTBORN CHILD.

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU

HE WAS MURDERED?

SEEMS LIKE:

YOU HAVE A MOTIVE.

WAIT A MINUTE.

YOU'RE SAYING

THAT I KILLED HIM?

I'M THE ONE WHO JUMPED IN

AFTER HIM.

THE TWO AREN'T MUTUALLY

EXCLUSIVE, MR. VASQUEZ.

WELL, THEY ARE

IN MY PLANET.

NO GOOD DEED GOES

UNPUNISHED.

NINGUNOS NO TAN BUENOS.

WHAT WAS THAT?

I'M SORRY. I JUST ASSUMED

YOU SPOKE SPANISH.

WELL, YOU SHOULDN'T DO THA 'CAUSE I'M FROM FLORIDA,

AND FLORIDA'S

IN THE UNITED STATES,

AND I DON'T WANT TO TALK

TO YOU PEOPLE ANYMORE.

YOU'RE...MAKING ME ANGRY.

NOT WITHOUT MY LAWYER.

MR. VASQUEZ, THESE GENTLEMEN

CAN HELP YOU WITH A LAWYER.

TAKE HIM OUT OF HERE.

HEH HEH.

YEAH, TOUGH GUY.

ALL RIGHT. YEAH.

ALL RIGHT. WHAT DO

YOU THINK OF VASQUEZ?

I DON'T THINK

HE SPEAKS SPANISH.

THANK YOU, FRANK.

I CAN SEE HIM DOING IT,

BUT I DON'T THINK

WE'RE THERE YET.

SOME OF THE PIECES

ARE MISSING.

WHO DRUGGED JIM?

WHO SPILLED THE BEANS

TO THE FILMMAKER?

ARE THEY EVEN CONNECTED?

I DON'T KNOW.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

- HELLO?

- YOU'VE GOT MAIL.

YES!

HORNING'S PERSONAL FILES.

I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE

TO READ THEM.

ANYTHING JUMP OUT AT YOU, JIM?

YOU COULD SAY THAT.

GREAT, THANKS.

WHAT?

GOT THE PIECE WE NEED.

CATH, WHY YOU THINK

MAYNARD WILL BE HERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

JUST A HUNCH.

[DOOR OPENS]

DOUG MAYNARD?

I THOUGHT WE'D FIND YOU HERE.

HEY.

UH,

WHY DON'T YOU, UH,

GRAB A BEER?

JOIN THE PARTY.

UH...

WE HAVE SOME QUESTIONS

ABOUT YOUR BOSS' DEATH.

[SIGHS] YOU GUYS,

YOU DON'T--

YOU NEVER GIVE UP, HUH?

WELL, THAT'S 'CAUSE

WE JUST FOUND OU HE WAS MURDERED.

WHAT?

WELL, W-W-WHA MAKES YOU THINK THAT?

HIS HEAD WAS BASHED IN.

W--

DO YOU KNOW WHO?

UH, YOU CHECKED OU THAT, UM,

UH, THE GUY JIM MONROE,

THE, UM-- THE SECURITY GUARD?

I NEVER TRUSTED THAT GUY.

REALLY? HE USED TO BE

ONE OF MY OPERATIVES.

YOU KNOW, I'M--

I'M OBVIOUSLY, UH,

YOU KNOW, MORE UPSE AND FREAKED OU ABOUT HORNING'S DEATH

THAN ANYBODY.

SO, I DON'T REALLY KNOW--

I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE

I COULD TELL YOU GUYS.

WELL, THAT'S

UNDERSTANDABLE:

SINCE YOU'RE HIS SON.

WHO TOLD YOU THAT?

HE DID.

HE KEPT ALL THE RECORDS

FROM YOUR FOSTER HOMES,

YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE,

YOUR REPORT CARDS.

HE MAY NOT HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED

YOU AS HIS SON,

BUT HE DID CARE ABOUT YOU.

YEAH. HE CARED

ABOUT ME, HUH?

HIS BASTARD SON.

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T THINK YOU ABANDON

A CHILD THAT YOU CARE ABOUT.

DO YOU?

YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK

YOU HIRE HIM:

JUST TO LIE TO HIS FACE

FOR 12 YEARS

ONLY TO FIRE ME:

ALL OVER AGAIN.

NO. DOESN'T FEEL

LIKE CARING.

IS THAT WHY:

YOU KILLED HIM?

DO YOU THINK:

I COULD DO THAT?

[QUIETLY] YEAH.

YOU ALMOST GOT AWAY

WITH IT, TOO.

YOU'RE UNDER ARREST FOR THE

MURDER OF MELVILLE HORNING.

I NEVER WANTED ANY

OF THIS TO HAPPEN, OK?

I DIDN'T WANT HIM TO DIE.

I JUST WANTED A FATHER,

YOU KNOW?

Man on TV:
BYE, GUYS!

BUCKLE UP!

[INDISTINCT]

Man on TV:
HI, GUYS!

ARE ANY OF YOU IN CHARGE

OF SHIPPING:

THE ROTTEN FOOD OVERSEAS

TO THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES?

CATHY, WHAT ARE YOU

STILL DOING HERE?

IT'S OVER.

YEAH, I KNOW,

BUT MY BRAIN ITCHES.

YOU KNOW?

THAT FEELING YOU GE IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR BACK,

WHEN YOU'RE JUST NOT GONNA BE

SATISFIED UNTIL YOU SCRATCH IT?

YEAH, I HATE THAT.

YEAH, WELL, SOME PIECE

OF THIS PUZZLE IS MISSING,

AND I'M JUST NOT GONNA BE

SATISFIED UNTIL I FIND IT.

LOOK, WHY DON'T YOU
