Hart to Hart: Old Friends Never Die Page #3

---

It's really good here.

Mmm!

Take my word for it,

it's the perfect murder.

It's a snap. He's here for the weekend.

It's a big bash.

It has to look like an accident.

That's a must if it's going to work.

As soon as people start wondering

about motive, we're sunk.

But you've figured it out?

Absolutely.

The hardest part is getting

him separated from the crowd.

So we get him out

on a fishing boat.

We get five or six other people

to go with him. It's perfect.

A few others will die

in the accident.

No one will even know that our

guy was the intended target.

- What kind of accident?

- Fire.

It's clean and it's thorough.

It also gives a few of the others

a chance to save themselves.

Two or three people survive out of six.

It's very real, very natural.

And how do you know

that our man won't be

one of the people

who saves themselves?

Because he'll be drugged.

Few sips of his drink, he'll get

logy, start to feel a little faint.

He'll go down into the cabin to sleep it

off. By the time the fire breaks out...

- He hasn't got a chance.

- I'm telling you.

The man will die and no one

will even suspect murder.

Jonathan, I see you've found

my favorite spot.

I also understand I'm reading

your favorite author.

Second favorite author. That's

a wonderful book, isn't it?

Yeah, it's great.

- Is Stacey Rodgers here?

- Yes.

Stacey Rodgers is indeed here.

I'd like to meet her.

Oh, I'm sure you'll find

her very interesting.

Now Jonathan, um, I did not come down

here merely to make a social call.

Oh.

I was kind of hoping you

might give me a little advice

on how to entice your wife.

Al, Jennifer and I made

an arrangement years ago.

She doesn't borrow my razor and I

don't make her business deals.

She's very good at managing

her own affairs.

All right. Well, then I'll

just leave it up to her.

All I ask is 20 minutes alone with her

once I have the proposal drawn up, huh?

Well, just let her know. I'm sure

you'll find her very reasonable.

Thanks.

Jonathan? Whoo-hoo!

Jonathan? Where were you?

- It's only been ten minutes.

- Oh, I thought it was an eternity.

- I have to show you something.

- What's wrong?

I just overheard two men

planning a murder.

Planning to murder

someone here at the party.

Did you get a look at them?

Yes, but I don't think I could

recognize them. Maybe one of them.

He was gray with a thin face.

But you would recognize

him if you saw him again?

I think so.

- Let's go find him.

- Okay.

I was standing right here.

What were you doing?

I was drinking water.

You were standing in the middle of

the bridge drinking water? Why?

Because I was trying

to get away from Reginald.
