Jane Doe: The Harder They Fall Page #9

FIND IT TOMORROW?

YOUR HUSBAND'S GONNA

HAVE MY HEAD:

IF YOU'RE NOT HOME

BY DINNERTIME.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU'RE THE BOSS.

YEAH.

ANYBODY HOME?

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING]

Cathy on machine: YOU'VE

REACHED THE DAVIS RESIDENCE.

PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE

AFTER THE TONE.

CATHY, IT'S FRANK.

YOU THERE?

UH, LISTEN.

I KNOW WHO THE LEAK WAS.

YOU NEED TO GET BACK TO ME.

[ENGINE STARTS]

[BEEP]

WOMAN, YOU'VE GOT 8 PHONES.

ANSWER ONE OF THEM.

I REMEMBERED SOMETHING.

I KNOW WHO DRUGGED ME.

I'LL SPEAK TO HIM THEN.

YES. OK.

HI.

JANE.

YOUR SECRETARY JUST TOLD

ME THAT YOU WERE UP HERE.

YOU'RE TAKING A HELICOPTER

TO L.A.X.?

UH, I JUST HAD ONE QUESTION.

YOU SET UP HORNING'S

FAMILY TRUST, RIGHT?

UM, YOU MUST HAVE KNOWN

THAT MAYNARD WAS

HORNING'S BIOLOGICAL SON.

YES, I KNEW.

DID YOU TELL HIM?

MELVILLE DIDN'T WAN DOUGLAS TO KNOW ABOUT IT.

MAYNARD FOUND OUT SOMEHOW.

DID YOU LET IT SLIP?

YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'D LIKE TO STAY AND CHAT,

BUT I REALLY DON'T CARE TO,

SO I'M VERY HAPPY

YOU'VE COME UP HERE,

BUT I HONESTLY-- I'D LIKE

THE CONVERSATION TO STOP NOW.

YOU WERE SEEING HIM,

WEREN'T YOU?

DON'T REMIND ME.

SO IT WAS YOU.

[SCOFFS] YOU SEEMED

SO INNOCEN BECAUSE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO

DIDN'T SELL OFF YOUR STOCK,

BUT YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE

SMART ENOUGH:

TO KNOW IT WOULD COME BACK.

WELL, YOU'RE NOT AS

PROVINCIAL AS I THOUGHT, JANE.

PLEASE, CONTINUE.

AND THOSE GIFT BASKETS--

DO YOU SEND THOSE INTERESTING

COOKIES TO EVERYONE?

[CHUCKLING]

OF COURSE NOT.

JUST THE PEONS!

SO YOU DRUGGED:

THE CAPTAIN AND JIM,

AND THEN YOU CONVINCED

YOUR POOR BOYFRIEND

TO BASH HIS OWN FATHER

IN THE SKULL:

AND THROW HIM OVERBOARD.

WELL, YOU JUST MAKE I SOUND SO UGLY.

I DON'T THINK YOU COUNTED

ON THOSE 4 VICE PRESIDENTS

COVERING IT UP.

NO. I NEVER SAW THAT COMING.

AND THEN, YOU GOT THE MOS INEPT CORONER IN LOS ANGELES

TO-- TO TAKE HORNING'S BODY.

HEH. GENIUS.

POOR MAN. JANE,

THANK GOODNESS:

HE ONLY WORKS:

ON DEAD PEOPLE.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE?

YES. YES, THERE IS.

I THINK YOU STARTED

BY GIVING YOUR BOSS' DIRTY

SECRETS TO THAT FILMMAKER.

AND THEN, THEN YOU DID

THAT INCREDIBLE SWITCHEROO

WITH THE TAPE AND

THE FINANCIAL CHANNEL.

I'M SO BAD, AREN'T I?

IT WAS ALL ABOUT MONEY

AND POWER, WASN'T IT?

IT USUALLY IS, JANE.

WAIT, STELLA!

YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THIS.

OH, I DON'T?

MELVILLE COULDN'T STOP ME,

SO YOU CERTAINLY CAN'T.

YOU SHOULD'VE GONE HOME

WHEN YOU HAD A CHANCE, JANE.

HOW COULD YOU BE SURE THAT MAYNARD

WOULD KILL HIS OWN FATHER?

BECAUSE I KNEW THEM BOTH

SO VERY WELL.

IT WAS JUST LIKE PUTTING

A PUZZLE TOGETHER.

DO YOU LIKE PUZZLES, JANE?

THIS IS YOUR LAST ONE.

CATHY, GET DOWN!

UHH! UHH!

UHH.

FRANK, CALL IN THE MEDIVAC.

- NO!

- TAKE HER, TAKE HER. - AH!

[INDISTINCT CHATTERING]

UHH.

OH.

OH, JIM.

- JIM?

- AAH!

OH, OH.

JIM? JIM? HEY, HEY.

LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME.

WHERE WERE YOU HIT?

ON MY RIB.

I'M ALL RIGHT.

I WORE MY BODY ARMOR.

I'VE BEEN CUT WORSE SHAVING.

H.Q., I GOT A MAN DOWN.

GUNSHOT WOUND.

I NEED AN AMBULANCE ASAP.

LET'S MOVE, BOYS.

THAT'S THREE YOU OWE ME,

DAVIS.

OH.

[JIM GRUNTS]

THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOU THIS GIRL THAT I DIDN'T TRUST.

STELLA HAD THIS HABIT OF

CALLING HORNING MELVILLE.

IT ALWAYS MADE ME DOUBT HER.

THEN THE FILMMAKER,

HE WAS GETTING EMAILS

FROM, UH, M. LeVILLE.

MELVILLE.

SO IT ALL POINTED TO HER

AS THE LEAK.

PLUS SHE'S THE ONE

WHO SENT THE GIFT BASKET.

THAT'S THE ONLY THING I ATE

THAT COULD'VE BEEN DRUGGED.

WELL, MAYNARD

DELIVERED THE BLOW

THAT STELLA SENT.

MURDER BY PROXY.

KIND OF LIKE TEASING

A DOG FOR WEEKS:

AND THEN GETTING SOMEBODY

TO BREAK INTO YOUR HOUSE.

[DOOR SHUTS]

[WHISPERING] Here she comes.

Here she comes.

JIM?

HEY, MAGGIE.

ARE YOU OK?

YEAH, I'M FINE, BABY.

I AM SORRY:

I DIDN'T BELIEVE YOU.

OH, IT'S ALL RIGHT.

WHEN YOU GET ESCORTED

TO THE E.R. BY THE C.S.A.,

THEY PATCH YOU UP

PRETTY QUICK.

WE NEVER WOULD'VE CAUGHT HER

IF HE WASN'T SO STUBBORN.

WELL, I'D LIKE TO THINK

OF IT AS PERSISTENT.

DID YOU JUST CONTRADIC A SUPERIOR OFFICER?

DID YOU JUST--

DID YOU JUST SAY WHA I THOUGHT YOU JUST SAID?

I TOLD YOU I'D PUT IN

A GOOD WORD FOR YOU.

OH. HEH.

WELCOME BACK.

OH, MAN. OH!

EASY. TAKE IT-- HA HA.

HA HA HA HA.

OH!

WELCOME HOME.

SOFTY.

HEY.

SORRY I'M LATE. I, UH--

I HAD A REALLY HARD DAY.

LOOK, I NEED TO TALK TO YOU GUYS

ABOUT THE GARAGE.

DO YOU TWO HAVE ANYTHING

TO TELL US?

ARE YOU PLANNING ON SELLING

YOUR PARENTS ON eBAY, TOO?

DON'T BLAME NICK.

I MADE HIM DO IT.

I TOOK MONEY OUT OF

MY SAVINGS ACCOUN TO BUY REAL STOCK

INSTEAD OF FANTASY STOCK.

AND MY PORTFOLIO CRASHED,

AND NICK AND I THOUGHT OF

EVERYTHING WE COULD POSSIBLY SELL

TO MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE,

BUT IT WASN'T ENOUGH,

AND YOU GUYS ARE

GONNA FIND OU AS SOON AS YOUR

BANK STATEMENT COMES,

SO I MIGHT AS WELL TELL YOU.

DOES SHE MEAN THE BANK

STATEMENTS WE GET ONLINE?

THE ONES YOU CHECK EVERY DAY

TO GUARD AGAINS IDENTITY THEFT?

- I THINK SO.

- YOU KNEW?

MOM, WHY DIDN' YOU SAY ANYTHING?

'CAUSE WE WANTED TO SEE

WHAT YOU TWO WOULD DO.

AND IT WAS A PRETTY SMAR SOLUTION, BY THE WAY.

NOT THAT GOOD:

OF A SOLUTION.

ALL WE GOT WAS 120 BUCKS

AND BLISTERS.

BUT WE GOT A NICE,

CLEAN, SPACIOUS GARAGE.

OH, YEAH AND BY THE WAY,

UM, I DON'T KNOW

IF YOU CHECKED,

BUT HORNING STOCK

WENT WAY UP.

- YEAH!

- YES!

AND OF COURSE,

YOU'RE GROUNDED.

YAY.

COME ON.

OH, MY GOD, IT DID.

WHOA.

YES!

HEY, YOU.

SOMEONE OWES ME:

THE ANSWER TO A RIDDLE.

AT NIGHT, THEY COME

WITHOUT BEING FETCHED.

BY DAY, THEY ARE LOS WITHOUT BEING STOLEN.

- AND THE ANSWER IS--

- UH-HUH?

THE STARS.

OH.

JUST LIKE THE ONES

IN YOUR EYES.

I KNEW I COULDN' TRIP YOU UP.
