Double Jeopardy

I'M PRETTY HUNGRY. I HOPE WE CATCH SOME FISH SOON. ME TOO.

OKAY, HELP ME WIND. WIND BACK ?

CAN WE TURN THIS ONE ? SLOWLY.

SLOWLY, SLOWLY, SLOWLY, SLOWLY.

I AM DOING IT SLOWLY. OKAY, YOU GOT IT.

OH, MATTY, LOOK !

YOU SEE THAT ? SEE THAT BIG BOAT OUT THERE ? MM-HMM.

SHE IS THE PRETTIEST BOAT ON WHIDBEY ISLAND. THAT'S THE MORNING STAR.

SOMEDAY WHEN YOU'RE BIG ENOUGH, I'M GONNA TEACH YOU HOW TO SAIL.

IT'S THE BEST THING THERE IS, SAILING. BETTER THAN FISHING ?

YUP. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT, KIDDO ?

I DON'T THINK I WANT YOU TO GROW UP.

WHY ? WHAT IF YOU GROW UP AND MARRY SOME BEAUTIFUL GIRL ?

WHO'S GONNA GO SAILING WITH ME THEN ? DAD.

NOT A CHANCE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

NICK. UH, WE NEED TO TALK.

ALWAYS HAPPY TO TALK TO YOU, RUDY.

HEY, WARREN. DID YOU GET THAT NOTICE FROM FIRST SEATTLE TODAY ?

YEAH. YEAH, AS A MATTER OF FACT, I DID.

GOOD. THEN YOU KNOW.

WE'VE GOT A REAL PROBLEM. FIRST SEATTLE IS NOT A PROBLEM.

THESE MARTINIS ARE A PROBLEM. DO YOU MIND ?

NOT AT ALL. WHERE WERE WE ? ALL RIGHT, FIRST SEATTLE.

- MOMMY ? - HEY, KIDDO.

HOW'S IT GOING ? HAND OFF.

OH, YOU SACK OF POTATOES. AY-YI-YI.

HAVE YOU BEEN CARRYING HIM AROUND THE WHOLE PARTY ? YEAH.

WE'RE NEVER GONNA MARRY YOU OFF, ANGIE.

MM, YES. PICASSO.

BLUE PERIOD.

THE ARTIST'S NAME IS KANDINSKY.

WASSILY KANDINSKY.

HE WAS GERMAN, OF RUSSIAN EXTRACTION, 1866 TO 1944.

AND BY THE WAY, PICASSO'S BLUE PERIOD WAS FIGURATIVE,

AND ENDED IN 1904.

AND THESE WATERCOLORS ARE ABSTRACT, DONE IN 1911.

PICASSO.

EVERYONE PIPE DOWN. I'M ABOUT TO GIVE A SPEECH.

THANK YOU FOR COMING. I ALWAYS SAY THE SIGN OF A GOOD PARTY...

IS WHEN I'M HAVING A BETTER TIME THAN ANYONE ELSE, BUT...

NOW IS THE TIME WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTED TO ANTE UP...

FOR DRINKING ALL MY LIQUOR, AND EATING ALL MY FOOD,

AND SPILLING TOMATO SAUCE ON MY COUCH, BOBBY LONG.

- OOH-- - WHAT, YOU DIDN'T THINK I SAW YOU ?

OH, HE'S INSUFFERABLE. I KNOW IT.

NOW, WE ARE HERE TO RAISE A VAST SUM OF MONEY FOR THE SMALL FRYE SCHOOL.

SO, WHILE YOU ARE REACHING FOR YOUR CHECKBOOKS,

IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE MRS. REBECCA TINGLEY,

OUR TOTALLY RAVISHING...

AND COMPLETELY ADORABLE HEADMISTRESS.

MR. PARSONS, THANK YOU.

FIRST OF ALL, I'D LIKE TO START BY INTRODUCING...

- A FEW MEMBERS OF MY STAFF TO YOU TODAY. - OH, GOD.

I GIVE YOU OUR DEDICATED TEACHER AND HEAD OF ADMISSIONS,

MISS ANGELA GREEN.

YEA !

[ Boy Speaking, Indistinct ] ME !

WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT ?

WAS I ALWAYS AS RUDE AS I AM NOW ?

ABSOLUTELY.

HI. COME HAVE A SEAT.

ANGELA, DO YOU THINK WE OUGHT TO BREAK THE NEWS TO HER ?

I SUPPOSE IT'S BETTER SHE HEARS IT FROM US THAN FROM SOMEONE ELSE.

SHE'S NOT GONNA BE HAPPY ABOUT IT.

WHAT'S UP, GUYS ?

CLOSE YOUR EYES.

CLOSE 'EM.

OKAY, NOW, STAND UP.

KEEP 'EM CLOSED.

NOW, LIBBY, WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ?

ME ? NOT EVEN CLOSE.

ALL RIGHT, OPEN.

I HEARD SEAN GITTMAN WAS THINKING OF SELLING.

I MADE HIM AN OFFER,

AND HE AGREED TO LET US TAKE HER OUT FOR THE WEEKEND.

AND IF YOU LIKE IT, IT'S YOURS.

IF I LIKE IT ? MM-HMM.

HONEY, WE CAN'T AFFORD THAT.

WHEN HAVE I EVER LET THAT GET IN MY WAY ? COME ON.

HUH ?

- WHAT ABOUT MATTY ? - I'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM. WE'LL HAVE A GREAT TIME.

YOU HATE TO SAIL.

I CAN LEARN.

HUH ?

GENERALLY, WINE LIKE THIS NEEDS TIME TO BREATHE,

BUT I DON'T KNOW, I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD...

WAIT.

I DON'T SEE LAND.

SO WHERE IS IT ?

ALASKA'S OVER THAT WAY, JAPAN IS STRAIGHT AHEAD,

AND AUSTRALIA'S SOMEWHERE TO THE LEFT.

WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO ?

BED.

THAT CAN BE ARRANGED.

WE SHOULD DO THIS MORE OFTEN.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ? BUY EXPENSIVE SAILBOATS ?

IF THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS, I'LL BUY ANOTHER ONE TOMORROW.

NO, GO AWAY, JUST THE TWO OF US,

WITH NOBODY ELSE AROUND.

I'LL DRINK TO THAT.

NICK ?

NICK ?

OH, MY GOD. NICK ?

NICK ?

NICK ? NI--

OH, MY GOD.

NICK ?

NICK ! NICK !

NICK ! OH, MY GOD.

OH, MY GOD. OH, MY GOD.

NICK ?

MORNING STAR, THIS IS THE COAST GUARD.

PUT THE KNIFE DOWN, MA'AM, AND STEP AWAY.

I-I DON'T-- I DON'T KNOW--

I DON'T KNOW... WHERE MY HUSBAND IS !

...AN AROUND-THE-CLOCK SEARCH FOR LOCAL BUSINESSMAN...

NICK PARSONS, WHO DISAPPEARED IN THESE WATERS OFF WHIDBEY ISLAND.

ALL RIGHT, TIE IT OFF.

- HEY, CUTTER. - HEY, TOM. WHAT HAVE YOU GOT FOR ME ?

[ Voices Indistinct, Drowned Out By Boat Motors ]

ANYTHING ? NO.

CUTTER, PLEASE DON'T LET THEM GIVE UP. HE'S VERY STRONG.

LIBBY. L-LIBBY. HE'S A VERY STRONG MAN.

THE RAFT AND LIFE PRESERVERS ARE ALL ON BOARD.

THESE GUYS, THEY TRACKED THE WIND, CURRENTS--

NOTHING. THE WATER TEMPERATURE OVERNIGHT...

WAS 51 DEGREES.

THAT'S COLD. THAT'S REALLY COLD.

CUTTER, I CAN'T BREATHE ! JUST PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN.

YEAH, THAT'S IT. DEEP BREATHS.

BIG BREATHS.

SHH.

- - MOMMY, LOOK !

HI, KIDDO.

HEY, BOBBY.

HEY, LIBBY.

UM, WELL, CUTTER, HE, UH--

HE ASKED ME TO COME BY AND TALK TO YOU, YOU KNOW.

JUST, UM-- NOT AS AN ATTORNEY, JUST AS A FRIEND.

THE INQUEST WAS HELD THIS MORNING, AND THEY REVIEWED ALL THE EVIDENCE,

AND NICK, UH, WELL, HE'S OFFICIALLY BEEN DECLARED DEAD.

NOW, LIBBY, THEY, UM--

THEY'VE DETERMINED IT WAS A "WRONGFUL DEATH," AND YOU--

OH, JESUS, YOU-- YOU'RE BEING FORMALLY CHARGED WITH HIS MURDER.

I AM HERE TO ADVISE YOU.

MAKE NO STATEMENTS WHATSOEVER TO THE SHERIFF.

I'M SORRY, LIBBY.

CUTTER !

NOT IN FRONT OF MY KID, OKAY ?

I'M SORRY, LIBBY. UH, THE JUDGE DENIED US BAIL.

CAN ANGIE KEEP LOOKING AFTER MATTY ?

GOOD. OKAY, UH--

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, SEE WHAT WE CAN DO. BOBBY.

HERE'S WHAT I THINK HAPPENED.

I HAD SOME WINE, OKAY ?

AND I FELL ASLEEP. IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE SUN.

AND MAYBE NICK WAS TRYING TO CUT A SNAGGED LINE OR SOMETHING,

BECAUSE THE KNIFE...

FROM THE GALLEY WAS ON DECK.

AND-AND MAYBE THE BOAT PITCHED OR SOMETHING,

AND HE CUT HIMSELF.

AND HE TRIED TO COME DOWNSTAIRS. HE TRIED TO COME BELOW...

TO WAKE ME UP.

I QUIT THESE THINGS WHEN I MET NICK.

IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT. I PROMISE YOU.

SO. WHY DON'T WE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS FIRST GUARANTEE LIFE ?

NOW. YOU BOTH BOUGHT LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES...

FROM THE COMPANY AROUND FOUR MONTHS AGO.

- AND YOU ARE THE BENEFICIARY. - I'M HIS WIFE.

- LIBBY, YOU KNOW THIS POLICY IS WORTH TWO MILLION ? - NICK WANTED TO MAKE SURE...

THAT IF ANYTHING HAPPENED TO HIM, WE'D BE OKAY.

THE JURY MAY FEEL THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "OKAY" AND $2 MILLION.

THEY MAY SEE IT AS A MOTIVE.

- IS THAT WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ? - NO, NO ONE IS SAYING THAT.

I DON'T THINK WE HAVE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT-- THAT I KILLED NICK FOR MONEY ?

I KNOW WE HAD SOME PROBLEMS, AND NICK WORRIED,

BUT WE WERE OKAY ! LIBBY !

TWO OF HIS INVESTORS WERE SUING HIM FOR EMBEZZLEMENT.

FIRST SEATTLE ISSUED A LIEN ON ALL OF HIS REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES,

YOUR PERSONAL POSSESSIONS--

NOW, NICK'S DEATH MEANS ALL THESE PROBLEMS DISAPPEAR...

BEHIND A CORPORATE SHIELD, LEAVING YOU WITH $2 MILLION.

- DO YOU THINK I KILLED HIM ? - THAT'S THE FIRST RULE OF BEING A LAWYER.

WHAT WE THINK DOESN'T MATTER.

IT MATTERS TO ME.

NO. OF COURSE. I DON'T THINK YOU KILLED HIM.

PETTY OFFICER YOUNG, WHAT WAS THE CONDITION...

OF THE MORNING STAR'S MARINE BAND RADIO WHEN YOU HAD A CHANCE TO INSPECT IT ?

THE HANDSET CORD HAD BEEN CUT.

AND AS YOU INITIALLY APPROACHED THE SAILBOAT,

WHAT DID YOU SEE ?

MRS. PARSONS WAS HOLDING A KNIFE.

I SHOW YOU STATE'S EXHIBIT... NUMBER FOUR.

UH, MAYDAY. MAYDAY.

THIS IS THE MORNING STAR.
