The Intruder

Standby!

Peterson is just as crazy, arrogant and eccentric

as old man Luben is.

Was.

This is ridiculous.

Nothing of importance here.

If any of you find anything different, let me know.

I'm going to check the servants' quarters.

Those of you that haven't read this

I suggest you do.

I really don't know why I came here.

Same reason we all did.

Mr. Alexander spent several nights here in the past.

Alexander, show the people to their rooms.

Sure, I'd be happy to sir.

May I help you, Ms. Nichols?

Yes.

This way.

Hmm. Chemistry.

Miss depriest, I've been here before too

only once and some time ago.

May I help you?

Oh, thank you.

I believe it's this way.

I knew the old man wouldn't leave me a dime.

Yeah...

Maybe you won't even get it this time.

What do you mean?

Maybe this is just one of Axel's charming practical jokes

arranged with Peterson.

Maybe he isn't really dead.

What?

They never found the body.

Haven't even found the wreckage of his plane.

Jeffrey, I'm sure you were as well informed as we were

that the jungles of Panama are so dense

they hardly ever even find the crash site.

Between private and commercial,

they lose an average of three flights a year.

Two of those three are never found.

Axel would find his own way back.

Yeah, this is it.

After you.

Thank you.

I wonder what's to eat.

Knowing Axel, probably you.

Just leaving the island

eta 14 hours.

Over and out.

Alright. We won't wait for Peterson any longer.

I'll fill you in as much as I can.

Mcgowan, we all know Axel sold his holdings,

and converted the assets to gold bullion.

Anticipating a recession.

Yes, that's right.

Now tell us something we don't know.

The last spot I can pinpoint the gold was Bogota, Colombia.

Now whether the gold went down on the plane with Axel

or on the second aircraft, or if it went down at all

I'm not sure.

Peterson claims the gold made it here to this island.

He being closer to Axel, would know better than I.

It's getting interesting.

Yes, you've all made it interesting.

There being no will

several of you have initiated proceedings against the estate

made inquiries to the authorities about the crash

brought in the internal revenue.

Very interesting.

Mcgowan exactly why did you and Peterson ask us here.

Very simple, Mr. reardon.

Peterson says he has the gold

he feels he can't get away with all of it.

I was closing in on him

several of you were.

He's going to propose that we split it equally.

The IRS could be called off.

Years of arbitration and probate

and he wouldn't have to steal it.

We all would help.

As far as anyone else is concerned

the gold went down in the jungle, and it's never been recovered.

He feels a share is a safer bet

than going for the whole thing.

Except for you and Peterson

we're relatives. Don't call it stealing.

It's ours.

Miss depriest, there's no will.

How would all of you, amiably, divide it?

Then why the note?

Then why hasn't he shown up?

That, I don't know.

You don't know exactly where the gold is either, do you?

No.

Peterson not being here...

He could have done this to set us all up.

Exactly.

We're all together.

You told us

not to tell anyone where we were going.

Peterson could kill us all

keep the gold for himself

unless you're part of it

- tuttleman! - If...

Axel's really dead.

This could be Axel's plan...

With Peterson.

And with you.

Axel's only respected him and tolerated him for his money.

Yes.

I wouldn't be surprised if that crazy old man

wasn't staring at us from behind one of those pictures...

Laughing his head off.

Mr. mcgowan, I tried to reach the marine operator again

but the phone's still dead.

Are you sure that it worked before?

Yes, he always had a line in here that worked.

Has anyone seen the maid?

I didn't see him.

He could be... listening.

There has to be somebody else here besides us.

This table was set

the food was cooking...

And we haven't found anybody.

Maybe you people are foolish enough to eat it

I'm beginning to wonder

if I made the right choice in coming here in the first place.

Miss Daniels, I'm sorry, i didn't mean to imply that you, uh...

But eventually you would have all rocked the boat.

Four million dollars apiece is a very persuading factor.

I think...

We should look for the maid.

I spoke with him earlier.

He said he was going to eat in the kitchen after serving us.

I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.

I'm sure you're sure.

I'll check, if it will make you feel any better.

Miss depriest, if it'll relieve you

I'll check on both of them

- David? - Yeah

they didn't know where you were.

- They're worried... - Look, I don't know what you're all up to

and I don't care

it's like I told you before, i just work for Mr. lubin's company.

I know, they were just upset.

They told me to check on you.

I'm sorry, I thought you'd prefer if it was me

and I love you, David.

Yeah

thanks.

- You finished eating yet? - Yeah. And you?

Yeah.

It's boring in there.

Ls it? - Yeah.

- Would you like to go for a walk? - I'd love to!

It's a beautiful night.

Ok, let's go.

Do we wait for Peterson to show or try to find it ourselves?

Wait 'til morning at least.

I have no idea where to even start a search.

I didn't expect Peterson not to be here.

Male and female, gentlemen.

I don't think you'll have trouble sleeping tonight, Harvey.

So peaceful.

It's for how long that bothers him.

I suppose we're both looking for the same thing?

Hey!

Hey!

What is this?

What do you think you're doing?

What's going on?

Listen...

Hey!

Hey'.!

Good enough reason

for not coming down to breakfast.

It's like some wild animal tried to...

Or a very strong man.

I don't think she could have upset Axel that much

by what she said last night.

This whole thing's beginning to stink.

No, just miss depriest.

My dear second cousin

the only thing that stinks is your sense of humor.

Mcgowan, where's Peterson?

I have no idea.

He'll kill every one of us and keep all the dough.

Peppefman, shut up!

Only one of us has been killed.

It's more like the work of an animal than Peterson.

Hello?

Hello, yes marine operator, we've been trying to get you

look, we've had a...

Yes, he's here.

Hold on.

And operator...

We need to speak with you when you're finished with this call.

Your office...

I thought you said no one knew we were here.

Mcgowan speaking.
