Jane Doe: The Harder They Fall Page #4

ANY EVIDENCE OF WRONGDOING

IT'S GONNA BE TOUGH, BUT--

ALL RIGHT.

I'LL LOOK IN TO IT.

JIM'S A GREAT GUY.

I JUST WISH I HADN'T SEEN

MELVILLE HORNING

ON LIVE TELEVISION

2 DAYS AFTER

JIM SAID HE SAW HIM DEAD.

SUSAN! WHAT IS SHE DOING?

HURRY IT UP!

WE HAVEN'T GOT ALL DAY!

COME ON, SUSAN!

[HORN HONKS]

I'M COMING.

WELL, I SAY HE'S BEEN

PROPERLY MEMORIALIZED.

CAN WE GO NOW, DOUG?

STELLA, WHY WASN' HE BURIED?

WELL, HE WAS

TOO PARANOID.

MELVILLE STIPULATED IN HIS

WILL HE WANTED A FULL AUTOPSY.

WHAT?

I NEED ANOTHER DRINK.

WELL, WELL, HEY,

DOUGIE BOY.

WELL, IF IT ISN' THE INTERIM CEO.

YEAH, I SEE YOU GO WHAT YOU WANTED--

BIG OFFICE, BIG TITLE--

IF YOU THINK I WANTED

THE CHAIRMANSHIP LIKE THIS,

YOU'RE AN EVEN

WORSE HUMAN BEING

THAN I TOOK YOU FOR.

THE MAN I DEAD:

FOR GOD SAKES,

CAN WE SHOW A LITTLE

RESPECT HERE, DANIEL?

A LITTLE BIT.

COME ON,

LET'S GET A DRINK.

OH, NOT MUCH

OF A TURNOU CONSIDERING WHA A POWERFUL MAN HE WAS.

I GUESS THE INFLUENCE

DIES WITH THE MAN.

THOUGHT I MIGHT FIND YOU

LURKING AROUND HERE

AT HORNING'S

MEMORIAL SERVICE.

AH, WELL, I'M A SPY.

LURKING'S WHAT I DO.

DID--

I CAN'T JUS LET IT GO.

WHO'S THE BLONDE?

THAT'S STELLA ANDRE,

HORNING'S CHIEF

FINANCIAL OFFICER.

SHE WAS APPOINTED TEMPORARY

CEO TO EVERYONE'S SURPRISE.

WHY SURPRISE?

'CAUSE THEY THOUGH IT WAS GONNA BE

THE GOLDEN BOY,

DOUGLAS MAYNARD,

THE ALL-AMERICAN

SUCCESS STORY.

RAISED IN AN ORPHANAGE,

WON A SCHOLARSHIP

TO PRINCETON.

HE WAS THE OLD MAN'S FAVORITE

OR SO EVERYONE THOUGHT.

THAT'S TOM SHAUNESSY,

HE HANDLES:

THE SOUTH PACIFIC REGION.

NEVER MET A COLD FOSTERS

HE DIDN'T LIKE.

ALSO FOND OF THE LADIES.

MMM. LIKE THAT ONE?

FRANCES DeSTEFANO,

SHE'S ITALIAN.

DON'T LET THE GLAMOUR GIRL

LOOKS FOOL YOU,

SHE'S ONE TOUGH COOKIE.

AND THAT LEAVES--

DANIEL VASQUEZ, OR EL REY,

AS THE CREW CALLED HIM,

DIRECTOR OF EUROPEAN

OPERATIONS.

HE COMES FROM FLORIDA.

MADE HIS BONES AT DISNEY.

SO YOU THINK ALL 4

OF THEM ARE GONNA CONFESS

TO SOME KIND OF COVER UP

IN SIGN LANGUAGE, JIM?

LOOK, I KNOW WHAT I SAW

ON THAT BOAT, CATHY.

BUT APPARENTLY,

NONE OF YOU TRUST ME

ENOUGH TO INVESTIGATE.

WHAT AM I, CHOPPED LIVER?

I'M HERE. I WANT TO HELP YOU.

I DON'T NEED

YOUR CHARITY.

I'LL DO IT MYSELF.

WELL, ANY REASONABLE PERSON,

ANY SOBER PERSON

WOULD ACCEPT ANY HELP

THEY COULD GET.

YOU'RE TOO SMAR FOR ME, YOU KNOW THAT?

OK. WHAT DO YOU

WANT ME TO DO?

THE HARDEST THING

OF ALL--

NOTHING.

IF HORNING DID DIE

ON SATURDAY:

AND THOSE 4 ARE

COVERING IT UP,

YOU'RE THE LAST PERSON

WE WANT TALKING TO THEM.

THEY KNOW YOU.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?

I'M GONNA FIND OUT WHY--

IF HORNING DIED:

ON SATURDAY NIGHT,
