"That's a good idea." "I love that." "Good evening." "Hi." "Yeah." "That'd be fine." "Repeat." "Blue Dolphin to Scarecrow." "Blue Dolphin to Scarecrow." "Code five." "Blue Dolphin calling." "Sierra, two, four, Charlie." "Sierra, two, four, Charlie." "Let's go, Orlando." "Someone's waiting to see you." "Billy, I'm telling you, Orlando was onto something or he wouldn't have sent this message." "'Ship of lies." "Two-four-C'?" "That mean something to you?" "Yeah." "He was cut off before he could complete the message." "Or he just passed out." "Okay, okay." "So the guy likes to drink and maybe he's a womanizer." "And while they're cutting back in staff, our caseload has almost doubled." "Now, how do I justify sending you to find somebody who isn't with the agency?" "Billy, Orlando is our best information broker in the Caribbean." "Oh." "That includes the information on the Bahamas?" "And how about that great big scoop of his on the Dominican Republic?" "What about Grenada?" "Orlando doesn't always bat a thousand, but this time he said he had something." "Now, look, he's my informant and it is my responsibility to find out why he hasn't shown up like he was supposed to." "And it's my responsibility to run this agency." "And I'm telling you, I do not have the time the money or the personnel to spare you." "Billy, this goes deeper than job." "We're talking about a man who saved my life once." "I owe him." "Now, you give me a few days off I will go down there on my own time and check it out." "You feel that strongly about it?" "I swear to you, just as I am standing here, he has something." "I can just taste it." "All right." "Check out that ship he was on and see if you can book passage." "Already done." "Then what are you waiting for?" "I have a problem." "The next ship is a honeymoon cruise and, uh, I'm gonna need a partner." "Amanda." "Yes, Mother?" "Would you believe it?" "They have raised the price on Cracklin' Critters." "Ooh." "All right." "What about this one?" "See?" "This one doesn't even have a price." "I mean, it makes me so mad." "Now that they've got new cash registers that do the reading they do not put the price on the individual box." "I mean, I really don't like that." "I am going to write a letter." "Yes." "Mm-hm." "Mom!" "Mom!" "Mom, guess what." "If I buy six packages of these Chewy Chippers I get free football cards." "And you will have false teeth by the time you are 15." "Told you, bozo." "Philip, do not call your brother bozo." "Now, you put all this junk right back where you got it." "I am, uh, gonna go to the meat counter." "Right." "Meet you at produce." "See you." "Fellas, do not run in the grocery store." "Hi." "Ah!" "Oh!" "I know." "You don't like it when I do that." "It's weird." "This is urgent." "What are your plans in the next few days?" "This weekend?" "This weekend." "Maybe a little longer." "I have shopping to do." "You can do that any time." "No, we can't, because Mother needs to get a new coat." "There's a sale." "We have to buy a coat." "Right." "Mm-hm." "And my friend Kitty Hokem from college-- Haven't seen her in 10 years." "She's gonna be in town." "We'll have lunch." "Ten years?" "Yeah, yeah." "Ten years." "But we write every Christmas." "She's gonna bring pictures of her little girl this time." "Mm." "Wouldn't wanna miss that." "A cruise ship isn't in the same league." "Cruise ship?" "Yeah." "She's gonna be here a couple of weeks." "Luxury liner." "I need somebody as cover on a trip to the Caribbean." "You know, she actually said next weekend would be better for her than this weekend." "Calypso bands." "Warm, tropical breezes." "Phew." "Heh." "Lee do you really need me?" "I need you." "Well, then that's it, I'm there." "You'll do it?" "Yes, l" "Well, if I can say I'm going on business for iff." "lt is." "lt is?" "Good." "No problem." "Great." "Yeah." "Pack your bags." "We leave in the morning." "Right." "Oh." "Yeah." "Oh, here, I almost forgot." "That looks like an engagement ring." "lt is an engagement ring." "There." "Come." "See, my informant, Orlando Gravas, was on this ship when he disappeared." "That's why you're here." "My cover." "Right." "We have to be engaged because this is kind of a" "Well, it's a special cruise." "What kind of a special cruise?" "Uh, it's a wedding cruise." "Oh." "Nothing but engaged couples." "Oh, well, sure." "In two days we dock at San Angelo in the Caribbean and we all get married." "That's asking too much." "No, I can't." "Whoa!" "Amanda." "Now, now, now, is that any way to start off 50 years of togetherness, huh?" "Miles, you're such a busybody." "I'm just trying to shed a few words of wisdom on the subject of marriage." "And who's better qualified than me?" "I've had four of them." "Oh, he's impossible." "Miles Beckwith's the name, plastic's the game." "And this little chinchilla is my fiancee, Jillian Davis." "How do you do?" "How do you do?" "Uh, Lee Stetson." "Amanda King." "Hello." "Amanda King." "I" "Hello, chin--Jill--Jillian." "First cruise?" "No." "Yes." "Miles and I met on a cruise last summer." "How long you been engaged?" "Three months." "Six months." "Well, officially, three months." "Uh, I asked her six months ago." "It took me a little while to make up my mind." "You really gave a catch like him a chance to throw the hook?" "Well, he was pretty firmly hooked." "Let's board, shall we?" "Yes, let's do that." "Hey, idiot!" "Watch what you're doing." "Bye." "Take care." "Okay." "We're on B deck." "Which way is that?" "Oh, say, there you are again." "We're on the way to sign up for second sitting at dinner." "Why don't we include you at our table, huh?" "Uh, well, we were planning to...." "Come on." "Part of the fun of these cruises is getting to know your traveling companions." "Well, that's very kind of you, Miss Davis, but I think" "Oh." "Miles and Jillian." "And you'll have plenty of time to be alone later." "You have to be careful, or you end up eating every meal with people who even bore themselves." "Excuse me." "Excuse me." "Pardon me." "It's quite all right." "See what I mean?" "Okay." "Second sitting is at 8." "We'll see you then." "Bye." "Yeah." "I can hardly wait." "Oh, what have you gotten me into?" "Compliments of the captain." "Oh, well, uh, we'd like to thank you very much." "I am Emiliano, your cabin steward." "If there's anything I can do to make your voyage more pleasant please let me know." "Uh, thank you, Emiliano." "Thank you very much." "Uh, Amanda." "Yeah?" "Well, I know what you're thinking, but...." "Voila, adjoining rooms." "Mm." "That's not what you're thinking?" "No, it isn't." "It really isn't." "What I was thinking is you've had plenty of time to tell me all the details about our assignment." "You could've told me in the supermarket, in the car on the way to the airport." "You could've even told me in the plane." "Maybe I should have said something." "Maybe you should have said something?" "On a need-to-know basis, I think this time I had a need to know." "Okay, okay." "I apologize." "Why didn't you just tell me?" "Because I didn't think you'd agree to come along." "Well, why not?" "Because I know how strongly you feel about marriage." "Look, Amanda, I have two whole days to wrap up this investigation." "We won't even get as far as the ceremony, believe me." "Wait a minute." "What?" "What if we do?" "We won't." "What if we did?" "What if we had to go through with it, get married so we wouldn't blow our cover?" "Yeah." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "Uh, look, I've got work to do and, uh, I've gotta go." "Yeah." "Where?" "Huh?" "Um...." "Hmm?" "All right." "They decoded Orlando's message as 'two-four-C.'" "Maybe it's supposed to mean 24-C." "So I'm gonna go check Cabin 24-C." "Okay?" "Right." "Yeah." "Check." "Lee?" "Telegram for Mr. Stetson." "Hello." "I'm sorry." "He's, uh, indisposed." "I'm Mr. Rackam, your cruise director." "I'm in charge of all" " Well, most of your recreational activities." "Oh, thank you." "Goodbye." "What are you doing here?" "You got this telegram." "I thought it might be important." "What is it?" "Well, it seems one of our new recruits in Cryptography blew it." "Orlando's message wasn't 'ship of lies.'" "What was it?" "'Ship of spies.'" "We missed you at dinner last night." "Ah." "Actually, we missed, uh, everyone at dinner last night." "Well, I told you everyone liked to unpack the first night out." "Well, I don't think, uh, everyone was unpacking last night." "Right, Lee?" "Huh?" "Oh, yeah, right." "Ha, ha." "Arturo Rodriguez." "Carmen Valdez." "Uh, Lee Stetson." "Amanda King." "Uh, where are you two from?" "Mexico." "Mexico City." "You two, uh, known each other long?" "Oh, no, no, no." "We just met." "Uh, only one week away." "Uh, we, how you say, uh, fell in love at first eyes." "Heh." "Oh, ha, ha." "Yeah." "Hmm." "What about you two?" "Why don't you fill us in on your background." "Yeah, well, we haven't really told each other much about our pasts." "We prefer really an element of, uh, mystery in our relationship." "That's so romantic." "Ha, ha." "Yeah." "Good morning." "I hope everybody is enjoying their brunch." "It couldn't be better, really." "I had a friend that took this cruise." "He said the brunches were the best." "Oh, yes?" "What was his name?" "Perhaps I'll remember him." "Uh, Orlando." "Orlando Gravas." "Does that ring a bell?" "Uh, no, I'm afraid it doesn't, sir." "He was probably the quiet type, kept to himself." "No, as a matter of fact, he was known as quite a carouser." "Well, if you ladies are finished with the brunch  I'd like to take you on a tour of the ship's bridal shop." "Oh." "Amanda." "Ladies." "Thank you." "Don't worry, gentlemen." "I'll return them to you in a little while." "Artie, when did you pop the big question?" "Come on, tell us." "Uh, excuse me, please." "What--?" "I didn't mean to...." "Strange fella, huh?" "Uh, yeah." "Yeah, he is." "In here." "I thought you were in the bridal shop." "I was." "But everything was overpriced." "And then I thought that C might mean casino." "And there would be a lot of number 24s in the casino." "Mm-hm." "I know." "I checked it out." "That's my job, remember?" "Yeah." "Your job-- -ls to help you." "Lee, we're not the only people on this ship who aren't on the level." "Did you notice how nervous Arturo was at brunch?" "He's getting married tomorrow." "No, it wasn't that kind of nervous." "Come on." "It was the kind of nervous you are when you're hiding something." "Everybody's hiding something." "No, there was more to it than that." "Did you notice how Carmen kept passing him things before he even asked for them?" "She put the cream in his coffee and she passed him the sugar." "Like they've been together for a long time." "You don't buy them only knowing each other for a week." "No." "I think they've been married for a lot of years." "That's pretty good, Amanda." "Well, I...." "Any other candidates for 'I've Got a Secret'?" "Mm." "Miles and Jillian aren't in love." "Oh, our resident expert." "No, I may not be an expert, but I know what I saw." "She paid more attention to you than she did to him." "Besides, they were sitting at opposite ends of the table." "And they just don't look like an engaged couple about to be married." "Yeah, you may have a point." "Are you gonna investigate them?" "I think I'll concentrate on our friendly cruise director for the time being." "Mr." "Rackam?" "Mm." "He can't remember Orlando." "Yet every crew member that I questioned can't forget him." "They described him as a hellraiser." "Well, why would Mr. Rackam not tell the truth?" "I don't know." "But I plan on finding out." "Did our cargo get loaded all right?" "None of the crew suspect anything." "Our transfer point still San Angelo?" "Yeah." "Then it'll be safe until we get there." "Good." "We've got a couple of nosy passengers onboard." "This Stetson guy and his girl, they're asking a lot of questions." "He the one that got the telegram?" "Mm-hm." "When I steamed it open, you couldn't make heads or tails of it." "You think it was in code?" "You can bet on it." "They may be the ones Orlando was trying to contact." "We're getting paid a lot of money, Gretz." "I'd hate for them to mess it up for us." "And if they're not the happy couple they seem to be?" "We may have to arrange an accident." "We'll have to keep our eyes on them." "I've got something better." "We'll keep our ears on them." "It's gonna be a long game." "Lee, maybe Orlando's clue was trying to tell us what was hidden and not where it was hidden." "You mean like 24 crates?" "Yeah." "Twenty-four cables." "Twenty-four cannons." "Long list, isn't it?" "Yeah." "It seems infinite." "Yeah." "No, I don't think Orlando would be that vague unless he was in bad trouble." "I just wish the hell I knew what he did mean." "Was he a good friend?" "Mm, he was one of the best." "He saved my life once in Haiti." "Port-au-Prince." "Yeah." "Oh, no." "Look who's coming." "Oh, there's my two lovebirds." "How about a little smooch for the folks back home?" "Uh" "Oh, uh...." "Oh, come on." "Animate it up a little bit." "You only get engaged once." "Come on." "Well, how about a hug instead, huh?" "Yeah." "You got a real Mr. Warmth, Amanda." "Make sure he doesn't get overheated." "Oh, he's just a little shy." "Shy?" "Smile." "Oh, that's a good one." "Thank you." "I'm gonna these developed in the store." "I'll see that you get a copy." "Good?" "Good." "Okay." "Thank, Miles." "Thanks a lot." "Oh, by the way, Jillian's down in the card room." "You two up for some pinochle?" "Yeah." "Maybe later, huh?" "Okay." "See you." "Thank you." "Jerk." "He's just trying to be nice." "Looks like someone can't read." "It's my secret burglar alarm." "The old match trick." "Here." "Stay here." "Find what you're looking for?" "All right." "Amanda." "Come on." "I think this guy needs a glass of water." "Come on." "Unh." "All right." "Now, let's start from the top, shall we?" "What were you looking for?" "You're not really planning on using that, are you?" "Gunshots would attract a great deal of attention on a ship like this." "I don't have to shoot you to get what I want." "This will leave enough bruises to persuade you to talk." "I suggest you don't." "May I?" "Carefully." "I'm Emiliano Gomez, of the Puerto Faro security police." "We suspect one of our operatives may have been killed on a previous voyage." "Puerto Faro?" "His name wouldn't be Orlando Gravas, would it?" "How do you know him?" "I'm sorry, my friend, but it seems we're on the same side." "He was an informant of mine and also a very good friend." "Any idea what he might have been onto?" "Our government is in a very weak position right now." "We believe billions of dollars are being smuggled in to fund a violent revolution." "You think the money's being smuggled in on this ship?" "That is what Orlando was trying to find out." "Now, wait a minute." "This ship does not dock at Puerto Faro." "We think the money was somehow being funneled through San Angelo." "Isn't that the island we're supposed to be married on?" "Yeah." "It's a good idea, though." "The crew, the passengers, they'll be preoccupied with the wedding ceremonies." "You could unload anything without drawing suspicion." "Orlando must have been very close to breaking this or he would not have been discovered." "Think there's any chance he might still be alive?" "One always has hope." "I only know he has never missed our contact man before and he was very serious about this mission." "Orlando was a wild and undisciplined man but he loved our country." "Then it's up to us to find out where this insurrectionist money is being hidden and who's behind it." "The music is really nice." "I've never been to a captain's ball before." "Well, uh, I'm going to have to enjoy it a little later." "I have that meeting with Emiliano down in the cargo hold." "Must be some sort of locker or storage bin numbered 24-C." "So why don't you just mingle?" "Ooh." "What?" "You know I really hate to mingle." "Would it be all right if I take a walk around the deck?" "Uh, I'd like it better if you stayed here and finished your drink." "That way I know you're not in any trouble, hmm?" "Well, how can I get in any trouble walking around the deck?" "If anyone can manage it, you can." "Ha, ha." "Heh." "Right." "See you later." "Okay." "Be careful." "I was right." "They are agents." "Then we have no choice." "Either we get rid of them or eventually they'll be onto us." "I know that, Gretz." "But we've gotta be smart about this." "We don't wanna draw any unnecessary attention to ourselves." "No way we can knock three off and make it look like an accident." "No." "Not at once." "But if we divide and conquer...." "Okay by me." "Heads we start with the men." "Tails, the woman." "Amanda." "Hmm?" "Oh." "Where's Lee?" "Oh, uh, he spilled something on his jacket, so he had to go change." "Oh, that's too bad." "Golly." "Listen, shame to let all that music go to waste." "You wanna go and dance?" "Oh, thank you very much but I think I'd really just like to sit here and relax and enjoy my drink." "Okay." "Well, suit yourself." "Um, it's gonna be fun at the boat drills tomorrow." "The lifeboat drills, huh?" "Oh, yeah." "Lifeboat drill?" "Oh, you don't know about that?" "Nothing to worry about." "It's standard procedure." "We have adjoining seats." "We're in Boat D, seats 19 through 22." "Oh, good." "Nineteen through 22-D." "Nineteen through 22-D." "Excuse me, please." "I think I'd better go help Lee with his jacket." "Nothing, damn it." "Twenty-four-C." "Twenty-four-C." "Whoa!" "Oh!" "Oh!" "Help!" "Whoa!" "Aah!" "Uh, hello?" "Help!" "Help!" "Whoa!" "God." "Help!" "Help!" "Help!" "Hang on, Amanda." "Call the steward!" "Emiliano, hold on to me." "What's happening?" "Here." "Come on." "Unh." "It's all right." "It's all right." "It's all right." "Oh." "Oh, thank you so much." "Everything all right?" "Oh, yes." "It's all right, folks." "It's all right." "Party's over." "Thank you." "It's okay." "It's just aerobics." "Ha, ha." "Here." "Thank you so much." "Are you sure everything is all right?" "Thank you." "Thank you." "It's amazing." "That's exciting." "Are you all right?" "Yes, I'll be just fine." "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm positive." "Now, would you please tell us why you were up on that boom?" "Well, I was sitting in the bar just, you know, relaxing and enjoying my drink" "Amanda, please, just about the boom." "Right." "Okay." "I thought Lifeboat C. Seat 24." "There was no easy way to get up to that boat so I didn't look over the edge, I just climbed up the rail and I grabbed hold with one hand and the other and then all of a sudden I just swung out." "And you were lucky you weren't killed." "You know that?" "Unless they're onto us and it wasn't an accident." "In that case, we can't afford to take any more chances." "We've gotta get Amanda off this ship." "Um, excuse me but, Lee, if I leave won't that blow your cover?" "It may have already been blown." "It's too dangerous to have you onboard." "But Emiliano said that the funds were being funneled through San Angelo." "And if that's true, I don't think I'd be much safer there alone." "She is right, you know." "Mm." "Except if I stay here with you does that mean that when we get to San Angelo in the morning, we--?" "We'll have to get married." "You may now kiss the bride." "Congratulations." "Congratulations." "Thank you." "Let's go." "I can't." "Why?" "You're on my dress." "Oh!" "Lee Stetsman, do you take this woman to be your lawful-wedded wife to love and to honor, in sickness and in health for richer, for poorer, till death do you part?" "I do." "Amanda King, do you take this man to be your lawful-wedded husband in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer till death do you part?" "I do." "You may put the ring on her finger and repeat after me." "With this ring, I thee wed." "With this ring, I thee wed." "I now pronounce you man and wife." "You may now kiss the bride." "Congratulations." "Congratulations." "Thank you." "Ahem." "Here, uh...." "Oh." "Yes." "It's fake." "Yeah, well...." "Too bad they're not real." "Heh." "It would have been nicer." "Yeah, well, at least your, uh, 18-karat wedding ring is real, huh?" "Yeah." "What?" "Eighteen-karat." "Twenty-four-karat." "Lee, I think it means 24-karat gold." "No, no, no." "Twenty-four-karat is spelled with a K, Amanda." "No, no." "It can be spelled with a C or with a K." "Jamie had it on a spelling bee." "It didn't look right to me, so I looked it up." "Karats with a K is for gold and carats with a C, it's for other gems." "Maybe Orlando didn't know the difference either." "And instead of paper money, Puerto Faro revolutionaries are being funded with gold." "Right." "You might have something here." "Ah, wait." "Hold it, there's a problem there." "We're talking about millions of dollars worth of gold that weighed thousands of pounds." "It'd be hard to smuggle aboard in your carry-on luggage." "Maybe Emiliano has some ideas." "Yeah." "Very nice ceremony." "Yeah." "Darling." "Mm-hm." "Ah, thank you." "Lee." "What?" "Look." "Come on, you yo-yos." "You're only halfway done." "Let's go." "They're unloading pipes from the engine room." "Why would they be unloading anything here?" "I don't know." "Unless maybe those pipes aren't what they seem to be." "Tell Emiliano meet me in the engine room." "Right." "I think we have a little prospecting to do." "Right." "Come on, guys." "Let's go." "All right, take five." "You, stay with the load." "Emiliano?" "Come in." "Hello, Miss King." "Looking for your friend?" "Come in." "This is getting to be quite a party." "Amanda, run!" "Oh!" "Jillian, I'm sorry." "Help me." "Mr. Rackam is right behind me and he's got a gun." "Don't worry." "Don't move, Amanda, if you know what's good for you." "That's nice work, Mr. Stetson." "Too bad it's all for nothing." "Amanda." "Oh, we have an even bigger surprise for you, Mr. Stetson." "Your friend Orlando." "He's alive but not quite well." "I'm afraid Gretz got carried away when we questioned him." "I don't have to remind you that there's no sense in making things difficult..." "...for yourselves." "You all right?" "Sorry, my friend." "It is my fault you are involved in this." "Don't worry about it." "These guys aren't getting away with anything." "Miles, it's not gonna work." "There's too many people onto you." "I don't think so." "Or this island would be swarming with agents by now." "No, we'll do just fine." "Tie him up." "You made contact with the buyers yet?" "Yeah." "They'll have the boat at, uh, Playa Key Beach in an hour." "We get paid when the gold is onboard." "Well, let's get going because I don't wanna keep my friends waiting." "Nice day for a flight." "Ready, Gretz?" "Goodbye, Mr. Stetson." "Do you see them?" "No." "They've got 15 minutes still, though." "Let's get ready." "All right." "Out of there." "Let's go." "You're gonna help us unload." "In the back." "In the back." "Oh, good." "Good, good." "Keep your hands up there, will you?" "There." "Oh, great." "Oh, no!" "No!" "Oh, Lee, look out!" "Come on." "Step on it." "All right." "Hold on." "We still might have a chance to stop them." "Are we going a little fast?" "We're going a lot fast." "I think I burned out the brakes." "I wish I hadn't asked." "We should pick ourselves up a nice piece of change on this one, Jillian." "We may even retire earlier than we expected." "All right." "Get ready to jump." "Jump?" "Yes." "There's only one way this is gonna stop." "Say when." "Now!" "Hands up!" "Amanda!" "All right." "All right." "Looks like the honeymoon's over." "Well, you two did a really fine job." "Thank you, sir." "No money, no revolution." "And thanks to the information Orlando gave us the insurgence leaders have been rounded up." "Puerto Faro's democracy will survive." "I'm really glad for Orlando." "Well, that about wraps that up." "Sir, there's just one thing." "What about the annulment?" "Oh, that won't be necessary." "The marriage was technically invalid." "Technically invalid?" "Yeah, Amanda." "I put down a false name." "Stetsman instead of Stetson." "An agent has to think on his feet." "Mm-hm." "I also put down a phony birthdate, birthplace, address, the whole works." "Well then we were never really married." "Well, not according to the laws of San Angelo." "Which reminds me." "Uh, could I speak to you for a minute?" "Alone?" "Oh." "Sure." "Sir." "Ahem." "Francine." "Bye." "Uh, Amanda." "Yeah?" "Some strange things happened on that assignment and, uh...." "Well, what I'm really trying to say is that, uh, you know...." "Well, what I'm saying is that whatever happened was...." "lt was all part of the job." "I know." "It was all part of the job." "Yeah, and we were just, you know, playing our covers." "I know." "We were playing our covers." "Right." "And nothing more to it." "Nothing more to it." "So can I have my ring back?" "Let me give you your ring." "Yeah." "Oh."
