00:00Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to the police academy.
00:06Two in Los Angeles.
00:13The other in San Francisco.
00:16And they were each assigned very hazardous duties.
00:22But I took them away from all that.
00:25And now they work for me.
00:27My name is Charlie.
01:27Well, here we are.
01:40Right down to the 18th hole here at the Cypress Pines Women's Invitational.
01:45And Linda Fry, the new young professional on the tour,
01:48is holding on to a one-stroke lead over the defending champion Donna Dawson.
01:53I think we're ready to go.
01:56Linda's about 150 feet from the pin.
02:27Beautiful shot. Beautiful shot.
02:31About four feet away from the pin.
02:34Now it's time for Donna Dawson to take her shot.
02:38Another terrific shot.
02:41Just as we anticipated, ladies and gentlemen,
02:43the winner of this round won't be decided until the next round.
02:47And the winner is,
02:49Donna Dawson.
02:51And the winner is,
02:53Donna Dawson.
02:55And the winner is,
02:57Donna Dawson.
02:59And the winner is,
03:01Donna Dawson.
03:03Just as we anticipated, ladies and gentlemen,
03:05the winner of this round won't be decided until the final putt.
03:22All right, Donna is now lining up the ball.
03:25She can read the green like nobody in the business.
03:32All right, here we go.
03:50It's Linda's turn now.
03:53There's a lot of pressure on the youngster.
03:55If she makes this putt,
03:57she goes into the clubhouse one stroke ahead.
04:01Here we go.
04:08There she goes.
04:10There she is.
04:12She's got it.
04:14She's done it.
04:16Linda takes a one-stroke lead
04:18over the defending champion, Donna Dawson.
04:20Linda, Linda, can we talk to you for a moment, please?
04:23Congratulations on a terrific second round.
04:26Thank you very much.
04:27Listen, do you think you're going to be able to maintain that pace
04:29throughout the rest of the tournament?
04:31I don't know. I just hope to do my best.
04:33Good luck to you.
04:34Thank you.
04:35Terrific gal.
04:38Linda? Linda!
04:41Hi.
04:43How are you?
04:45Why didn't you tell me you were here?
04:47Well, I didn't want to disrupt your game.
04:49Besides, do I look blue?
04:51I've been holding my breath for the last 3 holes.
04:53You're so fabulous.
04:55Thank you. How long's it been?
04:57Uh, 4 years?
04:594 years.
05:00Acapulco!
05:02Now, that was a vacation.
05:04Oh.
05:05Sure.
05:10Do you mind if we leave?
05:12No, as a matter of fact, I have my cart right here.
05:14Come on, I'll drive.
05:16Yeah, that's great.
05:19Every year we exchange Christmas cards
05:21and promise to get together,
05:22but somehow it just never happens.
05:24Well, you've been so busy.
05:27There you are, off playing at another tournament.
05:29I don't know, it's crazy,
05:31but it's the first year as a pro that I really started to quit.
05:34I'm so proud of you.
05:45Get out! Stay down!
05:57Get out!
06:23If this had been the first time, Mr. Townsend,
06:25I might be tempted to pass it off,
06:27but there have been other things.
06:29By other things, what are you referring to, Linda?
06:32Well, it started about a month ago,
06:34right after I won the East Bay Open in Florida.
06:36I went back to my hotel room
06:38and written on the bathroom mirror and lipstick
06:40was Cypress Pines, Off Limits.
06:42Have any idea who did it?
06:44None. I'm practically new on the circuit,
06:46and I keep pretty much to myself.
06:48I don't know, maybe it was just a crank.
06:50Cranks don't use high-powered rifles.
06:53It's true. All I know is I'm getting pretty scared,
06:56and now Bill's getting into the act.
06:58Who's Bill?
07:00Bill Montclair. He's my manager.
07:02The tires on his car were slashed last week
07:04with a note saying Cypress Pines is a no-no.
07:06What about the police?
07:08We haven't called them. Bill's wanted me to,
07:10but I've been holding off.
07:12Why are you doing that?
07:14Cypress Pines is an invitational tournament,
07:17and the slightest bit of bad press or scandal,
07:20they may ask me to bow out.
07:22How much are you willing to risk, Linda, before bowing out?
07:25What do you mean by that, sir?
07:27I think what he means is there are going to be
07:29an awful lot of people on the golf course,
07:31and any one of them could take another shot at you.
07:33That's right, Sabrina.
07:35With only one day left in the tournament and nothing to go on,
07:37if somebody wants to kill you...
07:39Oh, no matter what happens, I'm not backing out.
07:41You see, Cypress Pines, well, it's right near my home.
07:44My daddy taught me to play it when I was just a little girl.
07:47My kind of childhood dream was to grow up, become a pro,
07:49and win the invitational.
07:51Well, it's here now. I can't back out.
07:54Then it's settled. Now, Angels, Bosley,
07:57first thing you do is check into Cypress Pines as guests.
08:01Try to get rooms as close to Linda's as possible.
08:04The only way I could afford the Cypress Pines
08:07is if they rented the rooms by the hour.
08:09By that, I mean by the time my bags got to the room,
08:12I'd have to check out.
08:14Now, move Linda around.
08:17Off the course, keep her out of sight as much as you can.
08:20I'll check into some of the players.
08:22Someone may feel that Linda's too good for them.
08:25Whatever we find, let's keep in touch.
08:30Charlie, what is that clicking sound?
08:33Oh, uh, since our client is a golfer,
08:36I decided to brush up on my game.
08:38So I, uh, I hired a private instructor.
08:42Sounds like you're shooting par again, Charlie.
08:53Hi. Hiya.
08:55Okay, we got four rooms in the same wing.
08:57We should be able to take our bags up in about an hour.
08:59Okay, I think as soon as we get checked in,
09:01one of us probably ought to change rooms with Linda.
09:03Good idea.
09:04Which will probably confuse the assailant
09:06as much as it does the chambermaid, hopefully.
09:09Where have you been? I have this interview set up.
09:12Bosley, Chris, Sabrina, Kelly, this is Bill Montclair, my manager.
09:15Hi. How do you do?
09:17Oh, it's a pleasure. I mean, a real pleasure.
09:20Here, I went looking for you right after the tournament,
09:23but I couldn't find you.
09:25Linda, I think you ought to tell him.
09:27Bill, there was another incident.
09:29Are you all right?
09:31Yeah, I'm all right.
09:33What happened?
09:35Bill, there was another incident.
09:37Are you all right?
09:39Yeah, I'm just frightened.
09:41That's why my friends are here. They're private detectives.
09:43Detectives?
09:46You're not ready for female detectives?
09:48Is that what you're saying, Mr. Montclair?
09:50Ma'am, I'm ready for Laverne and Shirley if they can help us.
09:53For weeks, I've been wanting to go to the police about this thing,
09:56but Linda here...
09:58Look, if there's anything I can do, any way at all,
10:00I can help to stop this maniac.
10:02I'm sure there will be. As soon as we get organized, we'll let you know.
10:05Okay. But one thing we gotta do right now is go to that interview.
10:08It's a taping for DeMoore's match.
10:10It's one of those TV things. Bill likes me to do them.
10:12Would you all like to come along? I could show you some friendly faces.
10:15No friendlier face in the world than mine.
10:19Okay.
10:24Are you interested in golf?
10:26Oh, I play, but I'm just a buffer.
10:30Always the word buffer.
10:32Well, listen, if we got the chance, maybe I can talk you into playing around.
10:37Dang, that didn't come out right now, did it?
10:39No, but I got the message.
11:01Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen,
11:03and welcome to the beautiful Cypress Pines Country Club.
11:06We have with us today the two leading contenders in the tournament,
11:09Donna Dawson and Linda Frye.
11:11Good to see you again, Donna. You're looking great.
11:13Thanks, Tom. I'm glad to be here.
11:15Let's see. How many times will this be for you if you win?
11:18I'm trying for number three.
11:20Well, I guess you know you'll be the first three-time winner in Cypress history.
11:24Yes.
11:25How do you feel about that?
11:27Well, Tom, I've had a long career,
11:29and there have been a lot of awards,
11:31and I guess this is one of the few challenges left.
11:34Well, I guess you know there are a lot of folks out there rooting for you.
11:38Yes.
11:39If you win it, are you going to retire?
11:41That I don't even want to think about.
11:43Tell me, Linda, do you think you'll be able to pull it off?
11:46Well, if I hold my concentration and keep my game together.
11:49You're a newcomer in the circuit.
11:51I imagine for somebody new, the important thing would probably be the first-place money.
11:55Well, I'll tell you the truth. I already have it spent.
11:58Actually, there's a lot of sentimental importance.
12:01Yes, I know. You live not too far from the course,
12:04and your father used to be a golf instructor here, right?
12:07Well, he must have been a big help.
12:09Well, he taught me never quit.
12:11So no matter what happens in this tournament, I think I'll be around for the finish.
12:15There you have it, ladies and gentlemen, the age-old battle,
12:19youth versus experience.
12:21So stay tuned.
12:23We'll be right back for the exciting final round of this tournament
12:26right after this message.
12:30That'll do it, Al. Nice job. Good air.
12:33It'll be on just before the match tomorrow.
12:35Oh, great. Great.
12:37Thanks a lot. It was a lot of fun.
12:39Donna, good luck. Thank you.
12:44Lady Cool. Isn't that what they're calling her?
12:48Not to worry, my dear.
12:51This tournament has only begun to eat up.
12:57This room's about as secure as we could get under the circumstances.
13:00Yep. And nobody even has to know she's here.
13:03Her name's off the register, and the operator's holding all the calls.
13:07If you need anything...
13:09It's all right. Wait outside. Stay there.
13:13It's okay. I'll be right back.
13:27There's a truck, but I didn't get a license. You okay?
13:30All right. What you got?
13:32This was attached to it.
13:35Drop out of the tournament, or you'll be dead by the final round.
13:56Okay, we have got to check out doormen, parking attendants, gardeners, chambermaids.
14:18Somebody must have seen something.
14:21Sure, a full-scale investigation's a great idea, but I don't think there's time.
14:25No, Kelly's right. Tomorrow's the last day of the tournament.
14:27What we need now are some shortcuts.
14:29Yeah, but where do we find them?
14:31Well, we start out by going over everything we know so far.
14:33Now, there was the interview with Donna Dawson this afternoon.
14:36Are you suggesting Donna tossed that brick through the window?
14:39I'm not saying anything of the sort, but there's a very heavy motive there.
14:42She wants to win the tournament.
14:44Well, look, I've been a fan of her since her career first started.
14:47Why don't I follow up on that? You got it.
14:49Now, look, at the interview this afternoon, did you notice standing behind us
14:51there was a guy in an army fatigue about 30?
14:53He was nice-looking. Did anybody see him?
14:55Dark hair, rumpled clothes?
14:57Right, rumpled clothes. Very rumpled clothes.
14:59But he had on very expensive shoes, and he was wearing a gold watch.
15:02Well, maybe he's rich or eccentric.
15:04Well, he could be. I think he bears looking into.
15:06Yeah, well, I have to tee off early in the morning.
15:08If I don't get a good night's sleep, I might as well hand Donna Dawson that tournament.
15:12With all the photographers and reporters in this hotel,
15:15keeping your whereabouts a secret is gonna be almost impossible.
15:18Yeah, Linda, didn't you say you were brought up near here?
15:20Yeah, my house is about a half-hour drive.
15:22I think that's where we're gonna be spending the night.
15:24Okay, sure.
15:25That's a good idea. You get a good night's rest, you'll be relaxed for tomorrow.
15:28Super. Maybe Bill will drive us.
15:30You're gonna be okay?
15:31Feeling better already.
15:33Thanks a lot.
15:34We'll get it together here.
15:35Yeah.
15:43Hello?
15:44Kelly, Bill Moncler.
15:46I was wondering what you had going for the next hour and a half.
15:48Well, I don't know. What did you have in mind?
15:51Well, I'm driving Chris and Linda out to the retreat.
15:53Sure would put a smile on my face if we came along.
15:56All right, Mr. Moncler. You can start smiling.
16:22I wish you could stay. We have plenty of food.
16:24Oh, sorry, babe. I gotta head back. I'm gonna meet a couple of clients.
16:28Once you're lost, I'm a terrific cook.
16:30It's a lovely place, Linda.
16:31Thank you. It's got everything I need.
16:33Fresh air, trees. It's my big sanctuary.
16:37I keep telling her, sanctuaries are for birds, not people.
16:40What does that mean?
16:41Linda spends too much time here. It's like a hideout for her.
16:44She'd be much better off if she got out more and met people.
16:47Linda La Recluse. That's me.
16:49There's something I don't understand.
16:51If Linda never meets new people, who's been terrorizing her?
16:57Old enemies or old friends?
16:59Good question.
17:02Listen, I gotta run.
17:04You two have a good night. I'll be back for you in the morning.
17:06Okay. About 10?
17:0810.
17:09Bye, Kel.
17:10Bye. See you later.
17:18Now, what are we gonna do about dinner?
17:20You have an appointment with some clients, remember?
17:23Ah, they can wait.
17:24That's not what you told Linda.
17:26Hey, I didn't drive all the way out here just to eat dinner alone.
17:29Please?
17:31All right, Mr. Montglier. But let's hurry.
17:34I don't want you to lose a client on my account.
17:36Honey, on your account, I'd lose any client.
17:40Coffee twice.
17:44These people you're meeting, are they really important?
17:47Yeah, I'd say they're important.
17:49Does that surprise you?
17:51No. Should it?
17:53Well, some folks' impression of the small-town lawyer
17:55is someone who specializes in wheels and fender benders.
17:59Well, you're more than a lawyer.
18:01You're a manager, too.
18:03I would guess from your lifestyle,
18:05Well, just for the record,
18:07what happens in the big city happens with us.
18:10We see all the movies and plays and hear the latest records.
18:14About two months back, we had a rock concert with Alice Cooper.
18:17Really?
18:19Yeah. I understand that girl's one heck of a singer.
18:22What's the matter?
18:24Well, Alice Cooper's a guy.
18:28She is?
18:30Yeah.
18:32Well, looks like I wandered into the chicken coop
18:35with my bare feet that time.
18:37Well, it happens sometimes.
18:42It's too bad I got disappointed,
18:44because out on the dance floor, I'm something else.
18:47Give me a rain check, okay?
18:50Any time. Just any old time.
18:53Wait a minute.
18:57You're not going to do this.
18:59It's too late for that.
19:01You're not going to do this.
19:03You know, it's a little too much,
19:05but you can't do this.
19:07All right.
19:09You're not going to do this,
19:11and I'm not going to do this.
19:13All right.
19:15You're going to do this.
19:17You're going to do this.
19:19You're going to do this.
19:21All right. Wait a minute.
19:26Hi. What are you doing in here?
19:30Nothing. I'm looking for a place to sleep.
19:33In the linen closet? Yeah. I need a place to sleep.
19:37Mr... Wilcox. E.V. Wilcox.
19:41What does the E.V. stand for?
19:44Nothing.
19:45Won't tell me first name?
19:47Hey, come on. Look, just leave me alone, will ya?
19:49I'm sorry.
19:58Oh, excuse me. The desk clerk told me that Donna Dawson was in here.
20:02Yes, sir. All morning. Far end of the bar.
20:05Oh, thanks very much, sir.
20:12You know, they say that one Bloody Mary can add ten strokes to your score.
20:18What if I've already had two?
20:20Oh, well, in that case, you wouldn't care whether you won or lost.
20:23I'd take a lot more than two, for that to be true.
20:28By the way, my name is John Bosley. Do you mind if I join you?
20:32No, thanks. I'll have one of those.
20:36You know, it was about ten years to the very day
20:39when I saw you for the first time.
20:41It was at the Don Pasquale tournament in Pasadena.
20:45Did I win?
20:46Oh, indeed you did. By six strokes.
20:50And I became your instant fan.
20:55I don't believe that.
20:56What do you mean?
20:58Men don't identify with women athletes.
21:01At most, we're all freaks.
21:05Well, what do you say if you have good-looking legs?
21:09That's where it's at.
21:11Long, dry, great approach?
21:14Not enough.
21:15What you need are tight shorts and plenty of cleavage.
21:19Well, maybe it was because of that
21:21that I not only noticed that you were the hottest golfer,
21:25but also the best-looking.
21:32It was almost ten years ago,
21:34long before my shoulders started giving me trouble.
21:38I used to hit that ball 25 yards farther then.
21:44Yeah, the game was a lot of fun.
21:46Tennis not fun now?
21:48Now? It's just Maine.
21:52You think people love sports figures? Sure.
21:55They love to build them up so they can tear them down.
22:00You read the sports pages?
22:02They're telling me it's time to quit.
22:05Without so much as a gold watch or a pen-and-pencil set.
22:10Yeah, but what about retirement?
22:12I mean, you're already a living legend.
22:14Oh, no way. I'm not through yet.
22:19I'm about to become the first three-time winner
22:22of the Cyprus Invitational.
22:24That's a record they'll have to shoot at for years.
22:29Look, let's play a little game, you and I, okay?
22:33I'm the devil, all right?
22:36And I am going to give you this tournament right now.
22:41You are the winner.
22:43But what are you willing to pay for that prize?
22:51What's immortality going for these days?
22:55Why don't you tell me?
22:57Is it worth it to you to do anything to get rid of your opponent?
23:03So there you are.
23:07Do you realize tee-off time is at 2 o'clock?
23:09I planned on being there.
23:12Oh, Mr. Bozzi, this is Tom Rogers.
23:14How do you do? I'm sorry, but I've got another appointment.
23:18Nice to have met you.
23:20Oh, by the way, the answer to your question is yes.
23:29Who's he?
23:30Oh, I don't know. Somebody I picked up in a bar.
23:36Hey, I only want what's good for you, Donna.
23:41What do you think is good for me, Tom?
23:44A long vacation.
23:46A home. To call a home, Donna.
23:50Maybe even a husband.
23:55Donna, if I could, I'd wrap this tournament in a pink ribbon and hand it to you.
23:59Nothing would make me happier.
24:04Do you think I have a chance?
24:09I mean, really.
24:11Are you kidding? She can't keep that pace.
24:14By the back nine, she'll start feeling the pressure.
24:21My last hurrah.
24:24Doesn't seem like it's a lot to ask.
24:28I'll be there.
24:31No matter what happens. You know that, don't you?
24:34Yeah. I know that.
24:42Kelly.
24:45Anybody hear from Chris or Linda?
24:47Montclair's gone to pick them up. I talked to the guard at the gate,
24:51and he said that four bands were left on the grounds last night,
24:54but all of them were making legitimate deliveries.
24:56Did you get anything on that guy who was trying to sleep in the linen closet?
24:59I'm having Charlie run a computer check.
25:02Well, leaves us long on questions.
25:04Yep. Short on time and answers. Let's go.
25:10So, how'd you like my cooking? Did you get enough breakfast?
25:12As good as mine. Bill missed my tamale pie.
25:18Ah, look at this.
25:20You like it?
25:23You know, my daddy and I used to walk along these banks all the time.
25:27There used to be a tree stump over there we used as a picnic table.
25:30We'd bring sandwiches and sodas out and spend the rest of the day fishing.
25:34It was terrific.
25:36This is the kind of place kids dream about, read about in fairy tales.
25:41I'd like to preserve it, just like it is,
25:42and turn it into a sanctuary for underprivileged kids.
25:46Ah, Linda, that's beautiful.
25:48As a matter of fact, it's a fabulous idea.
25:51You've got all this land.
25:52I mean, you could grow your own food.
25:54It's still in the dreaming stages. It'd be terrific, though.
25:58Hey, is that the pitch and putt course over there?
26:00Yeah. Let me show it to you.
26:01All right.
26:05You know, everybody says my strength's in my short game.
26:08If that's so, this is where I learned it.
26:10I can't believe you have a golf course in the backyard.
26:12It's not really a golf course. It's just two holes, one up, one back.
26:16A really terrific place to learn. I always remember daddy saying...
26:19All right, keep your head down.
26:21Left arm straight.
26:22Follow through. Too much right hand.
26:24And on and on and on and on.
26:51Grace, watch out!
27:06Grace, there's another one!
27:13I'm soaked!
27:16Grace, there's another one!
27:21Grace!
27:28Grace, help!
27:31Help! Grace!
27:33Help!
27:38Help! My leg!
27:43Help!
27:51Help!
27:58What happened?
28:01I'll tell you something. This bridge did not just collapse.
28:04Where the devil did they come from?
28:06The navigators aren't miles from here. It's the marshland.
28:09And what are they doing here?
28:11Somebody brought them here, obviously.
28:14It's not safe anywhere anymore.
28:16I am here.
28:22No way.
28:24No way.
28:26I say it's time to pack it in.
28:28You mean walk away from the tournament?
28:30Look, it's no reflection on the girls here.
28:33The closer you get to winning that tournament, the more dangerous it becomes.
28:36But it's the last day.
28:38Linda, they've gone this far. What if they mean to go the rest of the way?
28:41I just can't quit.
28:51You still looking for a place to sleep?
28:53Why don't you go inside? You can hear better.
28:56Get coming.
28:58What's going on?
29:00I found him outside, so I asked him if he'd like to come in.
29:02Mind if we ask you a few questions, Mr. Wilcox?
29:05Or I tell you what, we'll make it easy on you, and I'll just tell you a few things about yourself.
29:10You see, we know your name. You're Evan Victor Wilcox.
29:13You're 31 years old, and you received your medical discharge from the U.S. Army,
29:17but not before you scored marksman with the M-14.
29:19Would you like to hear a little more?
29:21Well, who are you? What do you want from me?
29:24Just answers, that's all. What are you doing here?
29:30I... I just wanted her to autograph my picture.
29:38Are you kidding?
29:40It was in the newspaper. I cut it out.
29:43You've been hanging out around the golf course, and you were here outside the door
29:46because she warned her to autograph this? You're a fan?
29:50Mm-hmm. I'm telling you the truth.
29:52How do we know it wasn't you who was taking potshots at her?
29:55Right. Or writing her hate mail.
29:57Or throwing bricks through windows?
29:59I don't know what you're talking about. I couldn't hurt her.
30:03God knows I couldn't hurt her.
30:05Hey, leave him alone!
30:10Look, we're just wasting time.
30:12All we got here is some kid who likes to build fantasies out of newspaper clippings.
30:15Do you have a better suspect, Mr. Moncler?
30:17No. That's why I say we should pack it in.
30:23Linda, I've known you since you were a little girl.
30:27Nothing would make me happier than for you to win this tournament,
30:29but not if it means risking your life.
30:34Sorry, Bill.
30:37I gotta do it.
30:40I give up.
30:42If you change your mind, I'll be in my room.
30:51Well, um, I'm really awfully embarrassed,
30:56and, uh, we won't be keeping you any longer.
31:00Wait a minute.
31:10Oh. Thank you very much.
31:13Thanks.
31:15So long.
31:17Well, tee-off time's in a couple hours. I think I'd better take a nap.
31:20Okay. Get some good rest here.
31:26Okay, uh, look, she's not gonna give up,
31:30so we'll just have to keep a real close eye on her, right?
31:33I wish we could give her more than just moral support.
31:36Well, she's forcing their hand, and I keep thinking they're not bluffing.
31:39What do you suppose is the matter with Bill Moncler?
31:42What do you mean?
31:44Well, the way he reacted to, um, Evan.
31:47He did come on a bit strong.
31:49Yeah, I mean, we don't know that he's not the suspect, but neither does Moncler.
31:52I tell you what.
31:54Why don't you and I talk to him alone while Linda takes her nap, huh?
31:57Okay.
31:59Bye-bye. I'll stay here.
32:01I'll, uh...
32:03See you later.
32:12What's going on?
32:14Well, the chambermaid let us in.
32:16She liked my smile.
32:18What do you want?
32:20Well, just what you promised us, cowboy.
32:23That client of yours bowing out of the tournament.
32:26Time's up.
32:28Time's up?
32:33So what's it gonna be?
32:35She won't quit.
32:37I tried everything, talking, reasoning. Nothing works.
32:40You guys gotta forget it.
32:42What does that mean, forget it?
32:45Look, I ain't no dummy.
32:47I saw what you two did with those alligators.
32:49If I hadn't drove up when I did, she might have been dead.
32:51Well, now you're getting the picture, bright boy.
32:54You know, you're too easy.
32:57And I'm getting pretty sick and tired of running around here...
33:00acting like a dummy just to cover my tracks.
33:03It's time to get rough.
33:05What kind of rough are you talking about?
33:11Hey, listen, I agreed to try and convince her, but there's a limit.
33:14Funny.
33:16You didn't talk about a limit when you took our money, now did you?
33:19Yeah, and don't you forget, your retainer was a big, fat 100,000 bucks.
33:23I'll get you your money back.
33:25Oh, yeah?
33:27And where are you gonna get 100 big ones?
33:30I'll get it.
33:32Where? From your practice?
33:34Hey, you know, it's too bad that some of those fancy silk suits...
33:37and calfskin boots aren't returnable.
33:40I'll get you your money back, somehow.
33:43Look, it's no good, Montclair.
33:45We're up to our elbows in this. Your client is finished.
33:49What are you talking about?
33:52Well, there's a little knoll...
33:55and we're looking the last few holes of the golf course.
34:05You can draw a perfect bead.
34:08We'll be in the getaway car down at the bottom of the hill.
34:11Wait a minute.
34:13You're asking me to kill her? Linda?
34:16No.
34:18We're telling you.
34:20We do it ourselves, but we're kind of squeamish.
34:25No way. I mean, no way.
34:28I won't do it.
34:30One more move out of you two, and I'm going to the cops.
34:33I don't care what happens to me.
34:36Montclair, that was a real bad decision.
34:41Hey, are you crazy?
34:46Where is he?
34:48He's fine.
34:53Is he dead?
34:55Bill, are you there?
34:57Close to it.
34:59I didn't figure it to go this way.
35:01Bill, are you all right?
35:03Let's get out of here.
35:06Excuse me. Could I have the key to this room, please?
35:09Yes, that's all right. Thank you.
35:20Bill, what happened?
35:22It's all right. Can you tell me what happened?
35:25What happened?
35:27I guess I'm still a small-town country boy.
35:31That's what happened.
35:39Nobody out there.
35:41He's dead.
35:56Right, Charlie. We'll keep in touch.
35:59Great.
36:01It doesn't make sense that they would threaten Linda by killing Montclair.
36:05No, it's reaching. Unless Montclair was in on the whole thing.
36:08But Montclair wanted Linda out of the tournament.
36:10Yeah, he wanted her out, they wanted her out. They have something in common.
36:13And Linda wouldn't get out.
36:15Exactly. Montclair was her manager, her legal advisor.
36:19Supposedly, he ran the whole show.
36:21Maybe he promised something he couldn't.
36:23Which brings us back to square one.
36:25Sure does.
36:27Wait a minute.
36:29Whose coat is this?
36:31Montclair was wearing a solid western suit.
36:34This just isn't his style.
36:37What do you got?
36:41124. Let's go.
36:54Somebody bailed out of here in a hurry.
36:56Sure did. Look at this. Left a gun patch.
36:59What's a gun patch?
37:01It's a piece of cloth you use to clean a rifle.
37:03Let's get a name from the desk and have Charlie want a quick check.
37:06Good idea.
37:24Why didn't I listen to him?
37:26Why just didn't I listen?
37:28You can't blame yourself for this, Linda.
37:30He's like... he'd be alive right now.
37:33Chris is right, Linda.
37:35I know it seems to fit the pattern of all that's happened,
37:38but there's still a lot of unanswered questions.
37:40I have all the answers to all my questions.
37:43I just want to pack up and go home.
37:45I don't want to go home.
37:47I don't want to go home.
37:49I don't want to go home.
37:50I have all my questions. I just want to pack up and go home.
37:53Well, I guess no one would blame you if you did.
37:56If you give up, they win.
37:58You really expect me to play after all this?
38:01We can't answer that. That's up to you.
38:04Oh, Linda, I'd give anything for you to finish out the tournament.
38:12Okay.
38:14I'll try.
38:16That's my girl.
38:19I checked out the occupant in room 124, angels.
38:22I have some information.
38:24Okay, Charlie. Who are we looking for?
38:26The room is registered to Eric Williams.
38:28E.W.? You know him as Evan Wilcox.
38:31Uh, wait a minute. You mean same guy, two different names?
38:34One and the same, Sabrina.
38:36Evan became Eric about three years ago
38:38when he came out of federal prison
38:40and tried to start a new life.
38:42So you mean the army jacket and the linen closet bit were, uh...
38:45were covers so that he could follow Linda around
38:47without looking suspicious?
38:49Exactly. Williams is an ex-gambler
38:51and a utility strongman of sorts.
38:54He's partnered with a George Ritland, a disbarred lawyer.
38:58He's been involved in a number of phony stock deals.
39:01Now, wait a minute. Are they in business for themselves
39:03or did somebody hire them?
39:05I wish I could answer that, Sabrina.
39:07I did find a tie-in, though, with them and Montclair, Linda's manager.
39:11It has to do with a land option deal in that area
39:14that's being sold for back taxes.
39:16Somehow Linda fits into all this.
39:18Well, I'll keep looking.
39:20Meanwhile, Angel, Williams and Ritland
39:22are the ones to keep an eye on.
39:24Will do, Charlie.
39:26What do you know?
39:28Our assassin has a sidekick and they may have been hired out.
39:31Hirelings, eh?
39:33Well, then Donna Dawson's back in the picture.
39:35Maybe I better talk with her.
39:37We don't have time for talk, Bosley.
39:39You better run a hard, fast bluff.
39:41Okay, will do.
39:46Hey, Ron.
39:48Donna?
39:50Hello again.
39:51I want to talk to you.
39:53Okay, sure.
39:55Look, I guess there's just nothing you wouldn't do
39:57to win this tournament, right?
39:59You lost me.
40:01Well, when I mentioned getting rid of the opposition,
40:03I was just playing a game.
40:05But you were serious.
40:07Where did you find those clowns under some rock?
40:11What clowns? What are you talking about?
40:13What's a hit going for these days?
40:16It depends on the marketplace.
40:18I mean, have they got a price list
40:20for throwing a brick or dropping an alligator?
40:23If this is some kind of funny word game, I'm not amused.
40:26Donna, I'm saying that you hired someone
40:29to keep Linda Frye out of this tournament.
40:32Keep Linda Frye out of the tournament?
40:35How? Why?
40:37I thought you'd tell me.
40:39Look, I don't know what the heck you're trying to get at,
40:41but I want to tell you something.
40:43If it weren't for Linda Frye, there would be no tournament.
40:45Except for me, anyway.
40:47You are only the best when you know you've beaten the best.
40:54You know, you, uh...
40:56you almost made me believe you mean that.
40:59I do mean it.
41:01And if you were that so-called instant fan, as you put it,
41:03you'd believe it.
41:04Donna.
41:06Look, I'm, uh...
41:08I'm sorry.
41:11Just forget everything I said, okay?
41:15Listen, I'm, uh... I'm sorry, too.
41:29Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
41:31Here we are, right down to the exciting third round of play
41:34in this sensational golf tournament here at Cypress Pines.
41:38Now, it's right down to the wire between the two contenders,
41:41Donna Dawson and Linda Frye.
41:44Linda enjoys a one-stroke lead in this final round,
41:48but with all of this pressure,
41:50and there's a lot of it here,
41:52anything's liable to happen and probably will.
41:54We're ready now to...
41:56We're ready to round a tee off for Donna.
42:00Mmm!
42:02Ah!
42:04Beautiful!
42:06At least 250 yards and right down the center of the fairway.
42:10All right, it's Linda's turn now.
42:13Ooh!
42:18Another terrific shot.
42:20Like I said, ladies and gentlemen,
42:22this team promises to go right down to the wire.
42:33Oh!
42:35Oh!
42:37Oh!
42:39Oh!
42:42Oh!
42:48Oh!
42:55Oh!
43:00Oh!
43:02Oh!
43:08Hey, girl!
43:10Hold up a second, will ya?
43:12What hole are they on anyway?
43:1416.
43:16Oh, boy. Feels more like 116.
43:18Who's ahead?
43:20Last we heard, it was Donna by one stroke.
43:22Maybe if Linda doesn't win, they'll leave her alone.
43:25Let's go.
43:27Come on, boss.
43:29What's the hurry?
43:31That ties it. That ties it.
43:34Donna Dawson and Linda Frye are tied.
43:36It's all tied up and going into the 18th hole.
43:39It's still anybody's match.
43:41You heard enough?
43:43Yeah, she's liable to pull it out.
43:45We can't take any chances.
43:47Leave it running. We'll need every second.
44:10Is this gonna be close enough?
44:12Are you kidding?
44:14I could do it with a blindfold.
44:15This is the final hole.
44:17The final hole.
44:19It's been a long journey.
44:21We'll be back.
44:23We'll be back.
44:25We'll be back.
44:27We'll be back.
44:29Oh, yeah.
44:31Is this gonna be close enough?
44:33Are you kidding?
44:35I could do it with a blindfold.
44:45Now, Donna has about a 15-foot putt.
44:49And Linda Frye, I'd say about a 10-foot putt.
44:52Let's watch the action.
44:56The match is still tied.
45:00All right, Dawson's about to putt now.
45:07Oh, on the low side.
45:08What's the matter?
45:13Hold it, Miles.
45:14Give me the glasses.
45:16Sorry.
45:18You got something?
45:20Flash of light.
45:21Let me see.
45:23Where?
45:30Oh.
45:32That's them. Let's go.
45:46If Linda makes this putt,
45:49the tournament is hers.
45:51Now, you heard the man. If she makes it, she wins.
45:53She won't make it.
46:03She just stands still.
46:09That a baby.
46:11Just hold it right there.
46:15Uh-uh. You hold it right there.
46:19Well, how?
46:20Hold it.
46:22Hold it right there.
46:27She's got it.
46:28She's got it.
46:31Congratulations.
46:33Thank you.
46:34She wins it.
46:37Oh, well, well.
46:39Guess who loses.
46:46Oh.
46:55Well, it was wonderful seeing her win the trophy, Charlie.
46:58But in a way, it was very sad.
47:01I can understand that, Angels.
47:03Montclair was like a member of her family.
47:06Actually, he was a very nice man.
47:08He just got mixed up with those two Sharpies
47:10and found himself out of his league.
47:12Yeah.
47:13From what you told us, Charlie, and from what Linda told us,
47:16we gather that her father left her his estate.
47:19But there was over $100,000 in back taxes and mortgages to be satisfied.
47:23That's right, Sabrina.
47:24The deadline on this payment
47:26was the settlement of the estate on her 21st birthday.
47:29Montclair was handling the estate
47:31and knew she could never come up with that kind of money.
47:33Yeah, that's when Wilcox and Ritland came into the picture.
47:36They promised Montclair $100,000
47:38if he would convince Linda to sell them the property
47:40at a fair price when the time came.
47:43Well, Montclair thought it would be good for both of them.
47:45And he just never believed that Linda
47:47would become a successful enough golf pro
47:49to come up with that kind of money and pay those taxes herself.
47:52It's like we said, he was just out of his league.
47:55What about you, Charlie? How are your lessons coming?
47:58Oh, not well, Angels. Not well at all.
48:01Aw! Charlie!
48:03You don't have your instructor anymore?
48:05Yes. As a matter of fact, she's here with me now.
48:08Well, you'll just have to keep practicing, Charlie.
48:11That's all there is to it.
48:13I don't know about that, Angels.
48:15Sometimes you'll learn more just by watching.
