1
00:00:00,881 --> 00:00:03,050
There's a guy
falling out of that plane.
2
00:00:03,258 --> 00:00:04,384
Look out!
3
00:00:04,510 --> 00:00:05,636
I got a friend in here
4
00:00:05,802 --> 00:00:07,513
with his jaw wired shut
because of you.
5
00:00:07,721 --> 00:00:09,723
All I want you to
do is keep him alive
6
00:00:09,890 --> 00:00:12,059
long enough for me to
collect back alimony.
7
00:00:13,852 --> 00:00:15,187
You're destroying Robin's wall.
8
00:00:15,395 --> 00:00:17,272
You sound exactly like Higgins.
9
00:00:17,439 --> 00:00:18,649
You've met Mad Buck?
10
00:00:18,857 --> 00:00:20,609
Mad Buck.
11
00:00:20,776 --> 00:00:22,653
- What are you looking at?
- You, loudmouth.
12
00:00:22,861 --> 00:00:23,820
Buck, no, no! Come on.
13
00:00:25,030 --> 00:00:26,365
You wanna race?
14
00:00:26,448 --> 00:00:27,824
Buck, pull over.
15
00:01:47,613 --> 00:01:49,656
You know,
there are some quotations
16
00:01:49,740 --> 00:01:51,533
that would make
good rules to live by.
17
00:01:51,617 --> 00:01:52,618
For instance,
18
00:01:52,701 --> 00:01:54,703
"Never drive behind
an old man wearing a hat."
19
00:01:54,828 --> 00:01:55,954
Or another,
20
00:01:56,038 --> 00:01:58,415
"It's always brightest
just before the storm."
21
00:01:58,540 --> 00:02:00,292
If I'd remembered that one,
22
00:02:00,417 --> 00:02:02,044
I'd really have been on my guard
23
00:02:02,252 --> 00:02:04,296
because the afternoon
it all started
24
00:02:04,379 --> 00:02:06,548
was a truly beautiful day.
25
00:02:06,632 --> 00:02:08,175
Magnum.
26
00:02:10,093 --> 00:02:11,428
One moment, please.
27
00:02:11,511 --> 00:02:13,597
Higgins, if you don't mind,
I'm sort of in a hurry.
28
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,057
I can well imagine.
29
00:02:15,182 --> 00:02:16,767
A pressing date
with your surf ski
30
00:02:16,850 --> 00:02:19,353
or are you rendezvousing
with one of your divorcee clients
31
00:02:19,436 --> 00:02:20,812
just beyond the breakers?
32
00:02:20,896 --> 00:02:22,981
As a matter of fact,
I'm running, paddling,
33
00:02:23,065 --> 00:02:25,067
then running again,
against the clock.
34
00:02:25,150 --> 00:02:27,027
So time is very important.
35
00:02:27,110 --> 00:02:28,695
All that without
wearing a watch?
36
00:02:28,820 --> 00:02:30,614
How fiendishly ingenious of you.
37
00:02:30,697 --> 00:02:32,532
The time is running in my head,
38
00:02:32,616 --> 00:02:34,534
it's like an Olympic
athlete in competition.
39
00:02:34,743 --> 00:02:36,953
Who could have thought
one so aggressively prosaic
40
00:02:37,037 --> 00:02:39,790
could have such
an extraordinary fantasy life?
41
00:02:41,708 --> 00:02:43,585
All right.
Forget it, okay?
42
00:02:43,710 --> 00:02:44,795
You satisfied?
43
00:02:44,878 --> 00:02:46,421
It's too late
to run for time now.
44
00:02:46,505 --> 00:02:47,714
Tell me what is it you want.
45
00:02:47,923 --> 00:02:49,758
Your surf ski,
clothing, and footprints
46
00:02:49,841 --> 00:02:51,218
are on my beach.
47
00:02:51,593 --> 00:02:52,844
Your beach?
48
00:02:52,928 --> 00:02:54,471
You've staked a claim down here?
49
00:02:54,554 --> 00:02:56,348
For my tournament.
Beach croquet.
50
00:02:56,431 --> 00:02:57,766
As you can plainly see,
51
00:02:57,849 --> 00:03:00,060
the surface has been
expertly raked and rolled.
52
00:03:00,268 --> 00:03:01,770
Beach croquet?
53
00:03:01,978 --> 00:03:04,439
It's a fundraising tournament
for the Art Affiliates.
54
00:03:04,523 --> 00:03:07,442
We're sponsoring a worthy
young artist for a year in Paris.
55
00:03:07,567 --> 00:03:09,653
If you'd, uh, like to
buy a ticket...
56
00:03:09,736 --> 00:03:11,738
No, I think
I'll just excuse myself
57
00:03:11,822 --> 00:03:13,073
and pick up my things.
58
00:03:13,156 --> 00:03:15,617
I'll even rake my footprints,
if you want.
59
00:03:15,992 --> 00:03:19,079
I thought the word "buy"
would send you scampering.
60
00:03:19,287 --> 00:03:21,913
I know what you're thinking,
but this time you're wrong.
61
00:03:21,998 --> 00:03:24,000
The run-in with Higgins
wasn't the storm.
62
00:03:24,084 --> 00:03:26,294
It was barely
the opening thunderclap.
63
00:03:26,378 --> 00:03:27,713
Thomas!
64
00:03:27,796 --> 00:03:29,172
I know, I know.
65
00:03:29,256 --> 00:03:31,091
I'm raking it up
as fast as I can.
66
00:03:31,842 --> 00:03:33,135
Thomas.
67
00:03:35,220 --> 00:03:37,889
Listen, there's a client
at the bar. A real one.
68
00:03:37,973 --> 00:03:39,766
She even looks like
she could pay her own bills.
69
00:03:39,850 --> 00:03:41,435
Come on, let's go.
70
00:03:41,727 --> 00:03:44,187
Malevolent, vile, self-centered,
71
00:03:44,271 --> 00:03:46,773
self-indulgent,
not to mention selfish,
72
00:03:46,982 --> 00:03:49,901
and a decorated foe
of the entire women's movement.
73
00:03:51,319 --> 00:03:52,904
And you want Thomas to baby-sit?
74
00:03:52,988 --> 00:03:56,324
Only until I collect
a debt he owes me.
75
00:03:56,575 --> 00:04:00,162
But what makes you think he
needs protecting, Mrs. Gibson?
76
00:04:00,245 --> 00:04:01,455
Is somebody out to get him?
77
00:04:01,538 --> 00:04:05,083
Oh, there are only about
140 announced suspects.
78
00:04:05,167 --> 00:04:07,794
But the only one
I'm interested in is himself.
79
00:04:07,878 --> 00:04:10,172
Wait a minute, I thought
Buck was a successful writer.
80
00:04:10,255 --> 00:04:11,423
Oh, he is...
81
00:04:11,631 --> 00:04:13,592
If you want to call
"success" being known
82
00:04:13,675 --> 00:04:16,178
for trashy paperbacks
with covers of
83
00:04:16,261 --> 00:04:18,013
voluptuous blondes
and heroes who are...
84
00:04:18,180 --> 00:04:19,806
Isn't he a friend
of Robin Masters?
85
00:04:19,890 --> 00:04:21,349
Only for about 30 years.
86
00:04:21,433 --> 00:04:23,727
So if he is coming to the Islands,
he'll be staying at the estate.
87
00:04:23,810 --> 00:04:25,896
I'm not so sure about the ethics
88
00:04:26,021 --> 00:04:27,939
of secretly protecting someone
89
00:04:28,023 --> 00:04:29,941
who's enjoying
Robin's hospitality.
90
00:04:30,066 --> 00:04:32,027
Now look, the ethics
are completely different
91
00:04:32,110 --> 00:04:34,654
between a client and
potential victim if they're related.
92
00:04:34,738 --> 00:04:37,073
Well, I mean, in a sort of way.
93
00:04:37,282 --> 00:04:38,492
You see, Mr. Magnum,
94
00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:40,535
I am the original
Mrs. Mad Buck.
95
00:04:40,660 --> 00:04:42,662
Many years ago in Paris.
96
00:04:42,788 --> 00:04:44,873
And the debt
I'm trying to collect is
97
00:04:44,956 --> 00:04:47,459
back alimony.
20 years of it.
98
00:04:47,542 --> 00:04:49,002
Now I have a court order.
99
00:04:49,127 --> 00:04:50,796
All I want you to do
is keep him alive
100
00:04:50,879 --> 00:04:52,839
long enough for me to collect.
101
00:04:52,923 --> 00:04:55,717
- So you and Buck were...
- Married. Yes.
102
00:04:56,134 --> 00:04:59,638
Is this some sort of investigative
technique you've perfected?
103
00:04:59,721 --> 00:05:03,141
I make a statement and
you repeat it with a question?
104
00:05:05,268 --> 00:05:07,646
It's not that.
It's just confusing, see,
105
00:05:07,729 --> 00:05:10,899
because I've met three other
wives of Buck's and somehow...
106
00:05:10,982 --> 00:05:13,652
You are exactly right.
Let me say it.
107
00:05:13,735 --> 00:05:15,070
I am not now,
108
00:05:15,195 --> 00:05:17,572
nor have I ever been,
a chorus girl.
109
00:05:17,656 --> 00:05:19,741
The sum total of my measurements
110
00:05:19,866 --> 00:05:21,368
do not exceed my IQ.
111
00:05:21,910 --> 00:05:24,079
And the last time, the only time
112
00:05:24,162 --> 00:05:25,914
Buck ever called me "Tootsie,"
113
00:05:26,039 --> 00:05:27,290
I punched him out.
114
00:05:27,499 --> 00:05:29,334
Yeah, well, I can't imagine
why you two ever split up.
115
00:05:29,605 --> 00:05:31,064
Neither can I.
116
00:05:31,169 --> 00:05:33,421
First I thought it was just
because he hated marriage.
117
00:05:34,548 --> 00:05:37,217
Are you sure that, uh,
he's coming to the Islands?
118
00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:38,552
Because we haven't heard...
119
00:05:38,635 --> 00:05:40,136
He took an early flight
out of New York.
120
00:05:40,220 --> 00:05:41,429
He should be here any minute.
121
00:05:47,352 --> 00:05:49,271
What the hell is he doing?
122
00:05:49,604 --> 00:05:51,815
There's a guy
falling out of that plane.
123
00:05:52,023 --> 00:05:54,317
Dramatic, but hardly original.
124
00:05:54,943 --> 00:05:56,361
Mad Buck?
125
00:05:58,405 --> 00:05:59,823
It's the way he arrived
126
00:05:59,906 --> 00:06:01,908
at the Cannes Film Festival
three years ago.
127
00:06:03,368 --> 00:06:05,620
The only reason
people noticed him then,
128
00:06:05,704 --> 00:06:07,247
when it was original,
129
00:06:07,372 --> 00:06:11,334
was he was holding
a naked starlet at the time.
130
00:06:11,418 --> 00:06:13,420
Yeah? Well, this time
he's not gonna make it
131
00:06:13,503 --> 00:06:15,255
'cause the wind's blowing him
right into the reef.
132
00:06:15,338 --> 00:06:16,840
It's suicide.
133
00:06:21,136 --> 00:06:23,096
Even if he misses
the reef, the surf is heavy.
134
00:06:23,305 --> 00:06:25,765
He could drown before
he gets out of his harness.
135
00:06:28,143 --> 00:06:30,020
A naked starlet?
136
00:06:30,103 --> 00:06:33,106
She was Scandinavian,
so it really didn't count.
137
00:06:34,774 --> 00:06:36,985
"Mad Buck" Gibson
138
00:06:37,068 --> 00:06:40,822
got his name from being one of
the most adventure-crazed men alive.
139
00:06:40,906 --> 00:06:44,367
Big game in Africa,
mountain climbing in Nepal,
140
00:06:44,451 --> 00:06:46,703
deep-sea fishing in
the Florida Keys...
141
00:06:46,745 --> 00:06:48,455
And when he wasn't doing that,
142
00:06:48,538 --> 00:06:49,831
he turned out adventure novels
143
00:06:49,998 --> 00:06:52,250
that were almost
as colorful as his life.
144
00:06:52,334 --> 00:06:53,919
The only trouble was
145
00:06:54,002 --> 00:06:55,754
that life was
in its final chapter
146
00:06:55,837 --> 00:06:59,090
if I couldn't set a new record
breaking through the surf.
147
00:06:59,841 --> 00:07:01,468
He went out to save him.
148
00:07:01,551 --> 00:07:03,637
Legally,
do you think that constitutes
149
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,805
an acceptance of my employment?
150
00:07:05,972 --> 00:07:06,765
Hey, look.
151
00:07:08,892 --> 00:07:10,101
The wind has shifted.
152
00:07:10,352 --> 00:07:12,020
He's headed for the south beach.
153
00:07:20,528 --> 00:07:21,988
Higgins!
154
00:07:22,155 --> 00:07:23,448
Don't look around,
Mrs. Barnes.
155
00:07:23,531 --> 00:07:25,200
It's obviously
some intoxicated...
156
00:07:25,408 --> 00:07:26,451
Higgins!
157
00:07:26,534 --> 00:07:28,203
Look out below!
158
00:07:28,453 --> 00:07:30,205
Higgins! Look out!
159
00:07:50,725 --> 00:07:52,477
Just a separated shoulder...
160
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:53,937
Higgins, if there's anything...
161
00:07:54,104 --> 00:07:55,313
...two cracked ribs,
162
00:07:55,373 --> 00:07:57,291
numbers 4 and 5
on the left side...
163
00:07:57,607 --> 00:07:59,442
- Higgins, if you just...
- ...a slight concussion
164
00:07:59,526 --> 00:08:02,362
and an assortment of abrasions,
all second degree.
165
00:08:02,529 --> 00:08:04,864
I should be back at
the front in no time.
166
00:08:05,615 --> 00:08:07,033
The front?
167
00:08:07,242 --> 00:08:09,160
I mean the estate.
168
00:08:09,786 --> 00:08:11,788
Now, how exactly
169
00:08:11,871 --> 00:08:13,999
did this ruddy nonsense
happen anyway?
170
00:08:14,082 --> 00:08:16,001
You don't remember
Rick yelling at you?
171
00:08:16,084 --> 00:08:17,168
Of course I do.
172
00:08:17,502 --> 00:08:19,963
My faculties are
perfectly intact.
173
00:08:20,088 --> 00:08:22,007
Nona Barnes and I
were setting out the wickets
174
00:08:22,090 --> 00:08:23,717
on the croquet court.
175
00:08:23,820 --> 00:08:26,490
I heard Rick but
elected to ignore him.
176
00:08:26,678 --> 00:08:30,557
Now, exactly how did
the accident occur?
177
00:08:32,767 --> 00:08:35,562
You know,
that Mrs. Barnes, she's...
178
00:08:35,770 --> 00:08:37,897
She's really quite intrepid.
179
00:08:38,064 --> 00:08:40,442
She's proceeding with the
tournament despite your injuries.
180
00:08:40,525 --> 00:08:42,027
Well, of course, she is.
181
00:08:42,152 --> 00:08:45,196
Nona comes from sturdy,
resilient pioneer stock.
182
00:08:46,781 --> 00:08:49,075
Now, a-a-about the accident.
183
00:08:49,159 --> 00:08:50,618
You were hit by a parachutist.
184
00:08:52,203 --> 00:08:53,371
What?
185
00:08:56,207 --> 00:08:57,876
You were hit by a parachutist.
186
00:08:58,626 --> 00:09:00,045
How?
187
00:09:00,754 --> 00:09:03,423
- How...
- Blown off course by the wind.
188
00:09:03,506 --> 00:09:05,050
You know how unpredictable
the wind can be.
189
00:09:05,276 --> 00:09:06,485
Who?
190
00:09:07,343 --> 00:09:11,973
Who could possibly
be so irresponsible,
191
00:09:12,057 --> 00:09:15,643
so criminally negligent? So...
192
00:09:17,395 --> 00:09:19,147
Higgins, this is the funny part.
193
00:09:19,189 --> 00:09:21,691
It's a friend of Robin's.
A writer.
194
00:09:21,900 --> 00:09:25,111
Well, look, I'm sorry.
I got to let you get some sleep.
195
00:09:27,238 --> 00:09:29,240
You know, Higgins,
you look really tired.
196
00:09:29,324 --> 00:09:32,035
I must be more seriously hurt
than I imagined.
197
00:09:32,494 --> 00:09:34,454
It couldn't possibly be
198
00:09:35,622 --> 00:09:38,333
"Mad Buck" Gibson.
199
00:09:38,583 --> 00:09:40,293
You've met Mad Buck?
200
00:09:41,377 --> 00:09:45,256
One further question in this
masochistic interrogation.
201
00:09:46,216 --> 00:09:49,803
Is it just barely possible
that Mr. Gibson,
202
00:09:49,969 --> 00:09:52,806
having failed
in his kamikaze mission,
203
00:09:53,014 --> 00:09:55,308
is going to get
back in his plane
204
00:09:55,391 --> 00:09:56,559
and leave the Islands?
205
00:09:58,812 --> 00:10:00,730
You're not here to
drive him to the airport?
206
00:10:02,607 --> 00:10:03,775
Actually,
207
00:10:03,858 --> 00:10:05,985
I'm here to drive him
back to the estate.
208
00:10:06,111 --> 00:10:09,239
As a personal and honored
guest of Robin Masters.
209
00:10:11,950 --> 00:10:13,201
Ta.
210
00:10:17,038 --> 00:10:19,457
Mad Buck.
211
00:10:20,333 --> 00:10:21,626
Magnum!
212
00:10:22,836 --> 00:10:24,170
Meet Marlene.
213
00:10:24,712 --> 00:10:27,966
Marlene.
Here. Meet Magnum.
214
00:10:28,049 --> 00:10:29,008
Hi.
215
00:10:29,092 --> 00:10:30,802
You know, I told these idiots
in this hospital
216
00:10:30,927 --> 00:10:33,012
that I could walk
out of here, but now...
217
00:10:33,096 --> 00:10:34,806
There you go, hold my
sticks, will you, buddy?
218
00:10:34,889 --> 00:10:37,225
But now that I got her,
I think I'm gonna have her
219
00:10:37,308 --> 00:10:39,310
to be my personal
chauffeur forever.
220
00:10:39,394 --> 00:10:41,062
Darling, if I were
two years younger,
221
00:10:41,104 --> 00:10:42,814
you'd be in big, big trouble.
222
00:10:42,897 --> 00:10:44,399
As a matter of fact, promise me
223
00:10:44,482 --> 00:10:47,360
you won't get engaged until
I get out of this plaster, huh?
224
00:10:48,278 --> 00:10:50,446
They're getting prettier
and younger every year.
225
00:10:50,530 --> 00:10:51,906
Bye, Marlene.
226
00:10:52,365 --> 00:10:54,826
You know, the last time
I saw her namesake,
227
00:10:54,909 --> 00:10:56,202
I was up in Tarcento,
228
00:10:56,327 --> 00:10:58,079
up in the Italian Alps
near Yugoslavia.
229
00:10:58,197 --> 00:11:00,665
She was entertaining the troops
and I was covering the Big Bang
230
00:11:00,748 --> 00:11:02,125
for old Uncle Henry Louis.
231
00:11:02,250 --> 00:11:04,294
Ms. Gillson,
please report to X-ray...
232
00:11:04,377 --> 00:11:06,421
It seems like yesterday
about 200 years ago.
233
00:11:07,213 --> 00:11:09,883
Come on, Buck.
I'll get you back to the estate.
234
00:11:09,966 --> 00:11:12,051
Uh, no, no, no,
I gotta see Higgie in here.
235
00:11:13,386 --> 00:11:15,138
I'm sorry I made
such a mess of things,
236
00:11:15,221 --> 00:11:17,098
but I was sure that
was an onshore breeze.
237
00:11:17,140 --> 00:11:18,558
Look, I was just in there.
238
00:11:18,641 --> 00:11:20,268
I don't think it's
a good time to see him.
239
00:11:20,351 --> 00:11:21,728
He's taken a lot of painkillers.
240
00:11:21,811 --> 00:11:23,813
Oh. Oh, yeah, yeah,
gotcha.
241
00:11:24,272 --> 00:11:25,565
Well...
242
00:11:27,066 --> 00:11:29,110
You know, I think I could
do this better one-handed.
243
00:11:29,194 --> 00:11:30,778
Here. Race me.
244
00:11:32,197 --> 00:11:33,781
I'll race you.
245
00:11:37,619 --> 00:11:39,037
I won!
246
00:11:39,245 --> 00:11:40,496
I know what you're thinking.
247
00:11:40,580 --> 00:11:42,207
Higgins' reaction to Mad Buck
248
00:11:42,290 --> 00:11:43,958
should have been
the final tip-off.
249
00:11:44,042 --> 00:11:45,668
But I have to be honest
with you.
250
00:11:45,752 --> 00:11:47,253
I read a few of Buck's books
251
00:11:47,337 --> 00:11:50,089
under the covers with a
flashlight when I was growing up,
252
00:11:50,173 --> 00:11:53,176
and I was a little curious
to see him in action up close.
253
00:11:53,593 --> 00:11:54,802
Hi.
254
00:11:55,053 --> 00:11:57,513
I just wish I'd remembered
those old sayings
255
00:11:57,597 --> 00:11:59,849
about the price
you pay for curiosity.
256
00:12:00,934 --> 00:12:03,519
Hello.
The gardener let me in.
257
00:12:03,728 --> 00:12:05,939
He also told me about Higgins.
258
00:12:06,064 --> 00:12:08,358
He is going to be
all right, isn't he?
259
00:12:08,608 --> 00:12:10,818
Well, when I saw him,
260
00:12:10,902 --> 00:12:12,737
he seemed a little out of it
from the medication,
261
00:12:12,820 --> 00:12:14,113
but I don't think
it's too serious.
262
00:12:14,197 --> 00:12:15,406
Good.
263
00:12:15,531 --> 00:12:19,202
I guess that leaves one item of
unfinished business between us.
264
00:12:19,786 --> 00:12:21,079
My protecting Buck.
265
00:12:21,162 --> 00:12:22,538
Exactly.
266
00:12:22,747 --> 00:12:24,791
Now why do I
sense reluctance here?
267
00:12:24,916 --> 00:12:27,252
And don't talk to me
about conflict of interest.
268
00:12:27,377 --> 00:12:29,504
I think it's deeper than that.
269
00:12:29,921 --> 00:12:32,215
Okay. I'll be honest with you.
270
00:12:33,007 --> 00:12:35,843
I think I understand,
or maybe even sympathize
271
00:12:35,927 --> 00:12:37,595
with what Buck's going through.
272
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,055
Funny, you don't look like
273
00:12:39,138 --> 00:12:41,683
a man with a degree
in abnormal psychologies.
274
00:12:42,141 --> 00:12:45,103
Well, it's hard to explain,
Mrs. Gibson.
275
00:12:46,020 --> 00:12:47,438
It's just that...
276
00:12:47,522 --> 00:12:50,108
It's just that a woman
wouldn't understand, right?
277
00:12:50,191 --> 00:12:51,693
I didn't say that.
278
00:12:51,818 --> 00:12:53,903
Buck's been
very physical all his life.
279
00:12:53,987 --> 00:12:55,488
One day, he wakes up,
280
00:12:55,571 --> 00:12:57,532
sees his beard turning gray,
281
00:12:57,615 --> 00:12:59,158
weighs a couple of extra pounds,
282
00:12:59,284 --> 00:13:00,493
he's a step slower,
283
00:13:00,618 --> 00:13:02,829
maybe even more
than a step, so...
284
00:13:02,996 --> 00:13:05,290
So he tries tougher
and tougher stunts,
285
00:13:05,373 --> 00:13:07,500
like jumping out of airplanes?
286
00:13:07,625 --> 00:13:09,085
Come on,
Mr. Magnum.
287
00:13:09,210 --> 00:13:10,712
That's not youth recaptured.
288
00:13:10,795 --> 00:13:12,005
That's insanity.
289
00:13:12,088 --> 00:13:13,923
I didn't say it was okay.
290
00:13:14,007 --> 00:13:15,383
I just said I understood.
291
00:13:15,633 --> 00:13:18,761
It's like my friends and I
when we remember Vietnam.
292
00:13:18,845 --> 00:13:20,972
It was so terrible there,
I don't think
293
00:13:21,055 --> 00:13:22,807
there's any words
to describe it, and yet...
294
00:13:23,057 --> 00:13:24,892
You were never more alive.
295
00:13:27,395 --> 00:13:30,315
Well, it's not that we're old.
296
00:13:31,232 --> 00:13:33,526
It's just that
we're not young anymore.
297
00:13:34,235 --> 00:13:35,862
Because you understand,
298
00:13:35,945 --> 00:13:38,114
you're the one
who can help Buck.
299
00:13:38,823 --> 00:13:40,158
Besides,
300
00:13:40,241 --> 00:13:43,161
I don't want him to kill himself
before I get my settlement.
301
00:13:43,244 --> 00:13:45,204
So get on with it.
302
00:14:49,243 --> 00:14:51,396
Magnum, I hope
I didn't wake you.
303
00:14:51,521 --> 00:14:53,523
But as long as
you're up, come on in.
304
00:14:58,444 --> 00:14:59,654
Why?
305
00:14:59,862 --> 00:15:01,489
Why are you
shooting at the wall?
306
00:15:01,572 --> 00:15:03,116
Practice, my boy, practice.
307
00:15:03,241 --> 00:15:04,992
Got to keep
those reflexes ready.
308
00:15:05,076 --> 00:15:07,703
You know,
I don't mean any disrespect,
309
00:15:07,995 --> 00:15:11,207
but if you intend to be
a world-class investigator,
310
00:15:11,332 --> 00:15:12,875
you better learn this.
311
00:15:12,959 --> 00:15:15,169
Buck, I only use a gun
as a last resort,
312
00:15:15,253 --> 00:15:17,547
but when I do, I got a pretty
good idea how to use it.
313
00:15:17,755 --> 00:15:19,298
Yeah, sure, sure,
watch this now.
314
00:15:19,382 --> 00:15:22,552
I learned this in kill camp.
315
00:15:25,555 --> 00:15:27,140
Named after Mozambique
316
00:15:27,223 --> 00:15:28,891
because that's where
the pattern was established.
317
00:15:28,975 --> 00:15:30,977
I don't care how
they shoot in Mozambique.
318
00:15:31,060 --> 00:15:32,645
Here, we only fire
when we mean it.
319
00:15:32,854 --> 00:15:34,147
I only fire when I mean it.
320
00:15:34,230 --> 00:15:36,107
And you know what
a .45 slug will do.
321
00:15:36,190 --> 00:15:38,151
It could've gone right
through and nailed me in bed.
322
00:15:38,234 --> 00:15:41,028
Not to mention the wall.
You're destroying Robin's wall.
323
00:15:41,487 --> 00:15:43,197
Did anybody ever
tell you that sometimes
324
00:15:43,281 --> 00:15:45,199
you sound exactly like Higgins?
325
00:15:45,408 --> 00:15:46,617
Higgins?
326
00:15:46,868 --> 00:15:48,077
Higgins.
327
00:15:48,161 --> 00:15:49,745
He comes home this morning.
328
00:15:49,829 --> 00:15:51,164
If you really think about it,
329
00:15:51,247 --> 00:15:53,666
I'm... I'm really adding
value to the property.
330
00:15:53,749 --> 00:15:54,834
You see,
331
00:15:55,001 --> 00:15:56,836
instead of just
a wall with holes in it,
332
00:15:56,919 --> 00:15:59,046
now it's an artistic creation.
333
00:15:59,130 --> 00:16:01,174
I mean,
I'll... I'll even sign it.
334
00:16:02,091 --> 00:16:03,342
Magnum?
335
00:16:19,650 --> 00:16:22,195
Higgins. You're back.
336
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,405
That's terrific,
but should you be out of bed?
337
00:16:24,447 --> 00:16:26,574
I think I should just
walk you back to the house...
338
00:16:26,657 --> 00:16:30,411
I heard gunfire and thought
it only prudent to investigate.
339
00:16:30,703 --> 00:16:33,372
Gunfire? Shots?
340
00:16:34,165 --> 00:16:36,334
Well, maybe there were
just a couple.
341
00:16:36,417 --> 00:16:38,461
I counted 12, to be exact.
342
00:16:38,544 --> 00:16:40,796
A .45 automatic,
from the sound of it,
343
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,965
fired in the international
Mozambique pattern,
344
00:16:43,049 --> 00:16:44,425
if I'm not mistaken.
345
00:16:44,509 --> 00:16:47,303
And since that's hardly a
technique prominent in divorce court,
346
00:16:47,386 --> 00:16:49,138
the person firing those shots
347
00:16:49,222 --> 00:16:50,556
could only have been...
348
00:16:50,765 --> 00:16:52,767
He's making
the bathroom wall famous.
349
00:16:52,892 --> 00:16:53,935
Please.
350
00:16:54,018 --> 00:16:56,646
Spare me the depressingly
unimaginative details.
351
00:16:56,854 --> 00:16:59,065
Instead, let me
ask you a question,
352
00:16:59,148 --> 00:17:00,733
your opinion, actually,
353
00:17:00,816 --> 00:17:02,485
of the lovely
neo-classical fountain
354
00:17:02,568 --> 00:17:04,153
in the courtyard of the estate
355
00:17:04,237 --> 00:17:07,698
and the way it compliments
Mr. Masters' new Rolls-Royce.
356
00:17:07,865 --> 00:17:09,617
I think I better get you
back to the house.
357
00:17:09,700 --> 00:17:10,868
The walk down here must...
358
00:17:10,952 --> 00:17:14,247
That blank look on your face is,
for once, uniquely appropriate,
359
00:17:14,330 --> 00:17:17,291
because there is
no fountain, no Rolls-Royce.
360
00:17:17,416 --> 00:17:20,253
On his last visit here,
Mr. Gibson destroyed both
361
00:17:20,378 --> 00:17:22,046
when he attempted
to jump the fountain
362
00:17:22,129 --> 00:17:23,589
with the car.
363
00:17:23,965 --> 00:17:25,341
Anyone hurt?
364
00:17:26,342 --> 00:17:28,803
One of the gardeners
developed hysterical amnesia,
365
00:17:28,886 --> 00:17:30,596
but that is not my point.
366
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,766
Buck Gibson is a demonstrable
menace to this household.
367
00:17:33,891 --> 00:17:35,810
And since Mr. Masters
is incredibly loyal
368
00:17:35,893 --> 00:17:37,895
to his friends,
no matter how undeserving,
369
00:17:37,979 --> 00:17:40,690
a character trait for which
you must be daily grateful,
370
00:17:40,815 --> 00:17:42,858
I can't order him
off the premises.
371
00:17:43,067 --> 00:17:45,194
It sounds like you want to
make some sort of a deal.
372
00:17:46,112 --> 00:17:48,656
A deal?
I beg your pardon.
373
00:17:48,906 --> 00:17:51,951
Hire me to protect the place
from destruction.
374
00:17:52,034 --> 00:17:53,160
Or worse.
375
00:17:53,369 --> 00:17:54,870
I was under the...
376
00:17:57,999 --> 00:17:59,667
I was under the delusion
377
00:17:59,792 --> 00:18:01,460
that either
out of loyalty to Robin
378
00:18:01,544 --> 00:18:04,922
or in your alleged capacity
as a security consultant...
379
00:18:05,047 --> 00:18:07,800
That's right. So I'll make
it easy on you. No money.
380
00:18:08,009 --> 00:18:09,885
Instead, for three months,
381
00:18:09,969 --> 00:18:12,054
the swimming pool,
the billiard room,
382
00:18:12,138 --> 00:18:15,016
the new big-screen TV
moved into the guest house,
383
00:18:15,099 --> 00:18:17,059
and free access
to the wine cellar.
384
00:18:20,438 --> 00:18:21,731
One month,
385
00:18:21,814 --> 00:18:24,108
but the billiard room
and wine cellar are excluded.
386
00:18:27,737 --> 00:18:29,697
Two months.
And that's my final...
387
00:18:52,178 --> 00:18:54,764
I have my own high standards
as a private investigator,
388
00:18:54,847 --> 00:18:57,308
and there are some cases
I just won't take.
389
00:18:57,391 --> 00:18:59,477
Baby-sitting's one of them.
390
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:00,811
On the other hand,
391
00:19:00,895 --> 00:19:02,438
this was one of
those rare moments
392
00:19:02,521 --> 00:19:04,106
when I didn't
have an assignment,
393
00:19:04,190 --> 00:19:07,151
and if Joan wanted to pay me
for hanging out with Buck,
394
00:19:07,276 --> 00:19:10,112
and if Higgins wanted to give me
half the estate, I figured,
395
00:19:10,196 --> 00:19:12,239
what's a couple of beers
with a friend?
396
00:19:12,323 --> 00:19:14,617
I mean, what could go wrong
having a few beers?
397
00:19:14,700 --> 00:19:16,285
Nothing, right?
398
00:19:19,580 --> 00:19:21,332
Good night.
Good night.
399
00:19:25,586 --> 00:19:26,879
Mad Buck!
400
00:19:26,962 --> 00:19:28,673
Over here!
401
00:19:28,756 --> 00:19:31,008
You crazy son of a "B"...
402
00:19:31,759 --> 00:19:33,302
How are you doing?
403
00:19:33,386 --> 00:19:34,970
What are you guys doing here?
404
00:19:35,054 --> 00:19:36,722
When he heard Mad Buck was here,
405
00:19:36,806 --> 00:19:37,932
I couldn't stop him.
406
00:19:38,015 --> 00:19:39,350
Mad Buck.
407
00:19:39,433 --> 00:19:41,060
You know Rick
and this is T.C.
408
00:19:41,143 --> 00:19:42,478
He's an associate of mine.
409
00:19:42,561 --> 00:19:43,896
How you doing?
Hi, there.
410
00:19:50,986 --> 00:19:53,239
I know you get
tired of hearing this,
411
00:19:53,322 --> 00:19:55,408
but I've read all of your books.
412
00:19:55,491 --> 00:19:57,118
No, come on.
Not all.
413
00:19:57,201 --> 00:19:58,536
All 27.
414
00:19:58,661 --> 00:20:01,288
My favorite is
Curse of the Aztec Goddess.
415
00:20:01,497 --> 00:20:03,833
I mean you're sort of
an inspiration to me
416
00:20:04,041 --> 00:20:06,961
because I'm sort of working on
something of my own.
417
00:20:07,211 --> 00:20:09,547
Maybe when I finish a chapter,
you would read it?
418
00:20:09,672 --> 00:20:11,465
Oh, yeah,
you got it, B.C.
419
00:20:11,549 --> 00:20:12,717
T.C.
420
00:20:12,925 --> 00:20:14,218
What are you drinking tonight?
421
00:20:15,052 --> 00:20:19,265
Bazookas all around.
Double.
422
00:20:20,057 --> 00:20:21,183
Uh, beer.
423
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:23,811
War injury.
424
00:20:28,816 --> 00:20:31,152
Yeah, yeah, so anyway,
my next favorite one
425
00:20:31,235 --> 00:20:32,653
was Dagger of the Scorpion.
426
00:20:32,737 --> 00:20:35,156
That's where the guy
gets the girl in the bathtub...
427
00:20:35,239 --> 00:20:36,532
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
428
00:20:36,607 --> 00:20:38,192
Then she gives him the Mickey.
429
00:20:38,284 --> 00:20:41,328
Hey, Buck, can you really
make a Mickey out of aspirin,
430
00:20:41,412 --> 00:20:43,164
baking soda,
and aftershave lotion?
431
00:20:43,414 --> 00:20:47,585
Pal, you give me
a medicine cabinet,
432
00:20:47,793 --> 00:20:49,879
and I can make
a Mickey out of anything.
433
00:20:52,089 --> 00:20:54,467
Well, well, what a surprise,
meeting you here.
434
00:20:54,592 --> 00:20:56,260
Don't get up.
Don't get up.
435
00:20:56,594 --> 00:20:58,804
- What are you doing here?
- Hello.
436
00:20:58,888 --> 00:21:01,056
Jim! Who let this tarantula in?
437
00:21:01,140 --> 00:21:03,726
You're looking well
and just as charming as ever.
438
00:21:03,851 --> 00:21:05,102
Well, let me see.
439
00:21:05,186 --> 00:21:06,937
I think I've met
all your friends
440
00:21:07,021 --> 00:21:08,564
except for this handsome devil.
441
00:21:08,647 --> 00:21:10,024
Hello, I'm Joan.
442
00:21:10,107 --> 00:21:13,319
Better known in some circles
as Mrs. Gibson I.
443
00:21:13,486 --> 00:21:16,155
I wanna find a joint where the rats
don't drink with the customers.
444
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,532
Is that a line from
Kitten with a Bloody .45?
445
00:21:18,699 --> 00:21:19,950
Magnum, order me a Scotch.
446
00:21:20,159 --> 00:21:21,202
Magnum?
447
00:21:21,327 --> 00:21:23,412
Are you friends with this witch?
448
00:21:23,621 --> 00:21:24,580
W-We've been introduced.
449
00:21:24,789 --> 00:21:26,832
Actually, we're
practically going steady.
450
00:21:26,916 --> 00:21:29,126
Buck loves to be titillated.
451
00:21:29,210 --> 00:21:30,836
Oh, and speaking of that,
452
00:21:31,045 --> 00:21:33,297
I have something here
that will just
453
00:21:34,215 --> 00:21:36,425
make you so happy.
454
00:21:36,550 --> 00:21:38,636
Here, would you pass this
to Mr. Gibson?
455
00:21:38,803 --> 00:21:40,971
It's that court order you've
been waiting for, love.
456
00:21:41,055 --> 00:21:43,599
Stuff it back in your purse.
I'm not touching it.
457
00:21:43,849 --> 00:21:45,309
Drop it in his lap, T.C.
458
00:21:45,559 --> 00:21:48,020
He doesn't have to besmirch
his artistic paws.
459
00:21:55,152 --> 00:21:56,570
Thanks, T.C.
460
00:21:56,654 --> 00:22:00,199
Never let it be said that
Buck ever put a pal on the spot.
461
00:22:00,407 --> 00:22:02,201
Here, take this
back to your attorney
462
00:22:02,284 --> 00:22:05,037
and shove it in
his flat briefcase.
463
00:22:05,371 --> 00:22:08,707
Oh, still the insatiable
intellectual curiosity
464
00:22:08,791 --> 00:22:11,126
I fell in love with
20 years ago.
465
00:22:11,377 --> 00:22:13,045
Well, ever mind, snuggles.
466
00:22:13,254 --> 00:22:15,047
I've got a trunk full of these
467
00:22:15,256 --> 00:22:17,091
and a telephone book
full of process servers
468
00:22:17,216 --> 00:22:18,467
waiting to deliver them.
469
00:22:18,884 --> 00:22:20,678
I'm gonna wipe you out.
470
00:22:20,803 --> 00:22:23,138
I'm gonna drop your cantaloupe
471
00:22:23,639 --> 00:22:25,599
and furl your sail.
472
00:22:25,766 --> 00:22:27,351
You know, 20 years ago,
473
00:22:27,434 --> 00:22:29,478
Buck Gibson didn't know
what a metaphor was.
474
00:22:29,603 --> 00:22:30,980
Now he's mixing them.
475
00:22:31,230 --> 00:22:33,232
Ah! Please don't beg me
to stay.
476
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,234
I have to go
share this with the world.
477
00:22:35,442 --> 00:22:38,362
Put it in that antsy-pantsy
intellectual column you write.
478
00:22:38,445 --> 00:22:41,115
It'll be the best-kept secret
in the Western Hemisphere!
479
00:22:43,534 --> 00:22:44,994
What are you lookin' at?
480
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:46,412
You, loudmouth.
481
00:22:46,579 --> 00:22:49,957
You listen, lard-gut,
I'd like a few words with you.
482
00:22:50,165 --> 00:22:51,667
Hey, Buck, Buck, just a second.
483
00:22:51,792 --> 00:22:53,752
No, no, it's too late
for him to apologize.
484
00:22:53,836 --> 00:22:55,129
Buck, no, no!
Come on.
485
00:22:55,212 --> 00:22:57,506
Will you just stop it?
He doesn't...
486
00:23:18,652 --> 00:23:20,905
I think I broke my hand.
487
00:23:23,991 --> 00:23:27,369
"The young weapons
specialist, considered by many
488
00:23:27,453 --> 00:23:30,164
to be the handsomest
American in Saigon,
489
00:23:30,372 --> 00:23:31,957
stepped from the shower,
490
00:23:32,082 --> 00:23:34,335
water beading from
his perfect body.
491
00:23:34,752 --> 00:23:37,755
He smiled at the three
eager B-girls and..."
492
00:23:37,838 --> 00:23:40,174
Hey, Rick.
How you doing?
493
00:23:40,257 --> 00:23:41,508
Terrific.
Hi, guys.
494
00:23:41,592 --> 00:23:43,302
Just, uh, doing some
notes for the club.
495
00:23:43,427 --> 00:23:44,553
That's a lie.
496
00:23:44,637 --> 00:23:46,597
You're writing a book about Nam.
497
00:23:47,973 --> 00:23:50,017
Saigon Sex Machine?
498
00:23:50,100 --> 00:23:51,060
Yeah.
499
00:23:51,143 --> 00:23:52,686
Buck makes a $100,000 a year
500
00:23:52,811 --> 00:23:54,229
writing this stuff
and I can do it easy.
501
00:23:54,313 --> 00:23:56,565
You write a story about Nam,
502
00:23:56,649 --> 00:23:58,442
and I'll have my lawyers
in here tomorrow.
503
00:23:58,525 --> 00:23:59,777
You ain't got a lawyer.
504
00:23:59,860 --> 00:24:00,945
I'll get one.
505
00:24:01,028 --> 00:24:02,196
"...stepped
from the shower,
506
00:24:02,404 --> 00:24:04,114
water beading
from his perfect body.
507
00:24:04,210 --> 00:24:06,587
He smiled at
the three eager B-girls..."
508
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,038
Nurse Chen,
please check in at Station 4.
509
00:24:11,205 --> 00:24:14,249
Oh, you look
a little downhearted, boy.
510
00:24:14,458 --> 00:24:16,502
I got just the cure for you.
511
00:24:16,585 --> 00:24:19,797
Come join me on my...
on my newest adventure.
512
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,049
Hang-gliding to Molokai.
513
00:24:22,132 --> 00:24:23,425
- What?
- Yeah.
514
00:24:23,509 --> 00:24:25,678
- Do you know how far that is?
- 28 miles.
515
00:24:25,761 --> 00:24:27,846
Across one of the roughest
channels in the world?
516
00:24:27,930 --> 00:24:29,974
You got a broken hand, Buck,
you got a broken foot.
517
00:24:30,057 --> 00:24:32,935
A few cracked fossils
aren't gonna stop Buck Gibson.
518
00:24:33,018 --> 00:24:34,853
Come on. Let's have
some fun. Live a little.
519
00:24:34,937 --> 00:24:36,438
You know, that's
the trouble with you.
520
00:24:36,522 --> 00:24:38,023
Nothing stops Mad Buck.
521
00:24:38,107 --> 00:24:41,235
I got a friend in here with his
jaw wired shut because of you.
522
00:24:41,318 --> 00:24:42,903
And another guy
who's ready to kill him
523
00:24:42,987 --> 00:24:44,196
for the same reason.
524
00:24:44,279 --> 00:24:47,574
Well, fans. Aficionados.
It's the price of glory.
525
00:24:47,658 --> 00:24:48,826
Buck.
526
00:24:50,911 --> 00:24:52,496
No more stunts.
527
00:24:55,165 --> 00:24:58,127
Or what, pal?
528
00:25:02,965 --> 00:25:04,675
Do you know
anything about baseball?
529
00:25:05,551 --> 00:25:07,136
Yeah, a little.
530
00:25:07,261 --> 00:25:09,471
Sandy Koufax used to
be a personal friend.
531
00:25:09,555 --> 00:25:10,931
I tried to teach
him how to throw...
532
00:25:11,015 --> 00:25:12,433
Ah, yeah. Buck.
533
00:25:12,683 --> 00:25:15,269
Well, see, I wanted to throw
like Sandy, too.
534
00:25:15,477 --> 00:25:17,146
As a matter of fact,
I was pretty good.
535
00:25:17,229 --> 00:25:19,440
I made starting pitcher
on our baseball team.
536
00:25:19,606 --> 00:25:22,401
That was a big deal because we'd
been state champs for two years.
537
00:25:22,484 --> 00:25:23,527
Uh-huh.
538
00:25:23,610 --> 00:25:25,070
Yeah, I was pretty tough.
539
00:25:25,154 --> 00:25:27,573
Threw real hard,
and my fastball moved real good.
540
00:25:27,623 --> 00:25:30,367
I had a curve ball
541
00:25:30,784 --> 00:25:32,494
so sweet
it would break your heart.
542
00:25:33,537 --> 00:25:34,955
So, you know what?
543
00:25:35,330 --> 00:25:38,500
Every day after practice,
I just expected this
544
00:25:38,625 --> 00:25:42,296
big-league scout to be waiting
with Sandy Koufax's uniform.
545
00:25:43,130 --> 00:25:44,339
Yeah.
546
00:25:44,423 --> 00:25:45,758
I know what you mean.
547
00:25:45,966 --> 00:25:47,217
No, you don't.
548
00:25:48,594 --> 00:25:50,304
No, you don't, Buck,
549
00:25:50,512 --> 00:25:52,389
because the scout never came.
550
00:25:52,973 --> 00:25:55,476
See, there was this
other guy on the team,
551
00:25:55,559 --> 00:25:57,436
and he practiced just as hard.
552
00:25:57,561 --> 00:25:59,438
And it came time
for the state championship.
553
00:25:59,646 --> 00:26:01,482
The coach started the other kid.
554
00:26:02,399 --> 00:26:03,984
And I took it pretty hard.
555
00:26:04,068 --> 00:26:05,486
Yeah.
556
00:26:05,819 --> 00:26:07,946
Actually,
worse than pretty hard.
557
00:26:08,072 --> 00:26:09,740
But I'll tell you something.
558
00:26:10,282 --> 00:26:11,700
My dad
559
00:26:13,869 --> 00:26:15,579
did me a big favor.
560
00:26:15,788 --> 00:26:17,873
Made me really
understand something.
561
00:26:18,415 --> 00:26:19,958
About trying harder
562
00:26:20,084 --> 00:26:22,294
or "Not everybody
can be a winner"?
563
00:26:22,377 --> 00:26:24,046
No. Not that.
564
00:26:25,589 --> 00:26:30,469
He said, uh, "Athletics
only last a summer,
565
00:26:31,178 --> 00:26:33,055
however long
that summer is."
566
00:26:36,183 --> 00:26:37,518
Meaning what?
567
00:26:37,768 --> 00:26:40,104
That physical ability
is important,
568
00:26:40,312 --> 00:26:42,773
but you can't define
your life that way
569
00:26:42,856 --> 00:26:44,316
because it doesn't last
570
00:26:44,691 --> 00:26:46,401
and life goes on.
571
00:26:49,154 --> 00:26:51,448
So all I'm trying to say, Buck,
572
00:26:52,366 --> 00:26:54,827
is you can be
exactly what you are.
573
00:26:55,452 --> 00:26:58,872
You don't have to keep
pulling these crazy stunts.
574
00:26:59,957 --> 00:27:02,334
That's where
you're wrong, buddy boy.
575
00:27:03,418 --> 00:27:04,878
I do.
576
00:27:17,516 --> 00:27:20,102
Excuse me, are you
a friend of Mr. Gibson's?
577
00:27:20,227 --> 00:27:23,355
Not exactly. Uh, yes.
578
00:27:23,772 --> 00:27:25,399
I'm the ER resident.
579
00:27:25,607 --> 00:27:28,318
I wanted to ask you a couple of
questions about his medical history.
580
00:27:28,527 --> 00:27:29,903
Excuse me, doctor.
581
00:27:30,028 --> 00:27:31,864
Shouldn't you be
getting that from him?
582
00:27:31,989 --> 00:27:33,866
Believe me, I tried.
583
00:27:34,032 --> 00:27:36,994
Mr. Gibson doesn't seem to
have much regard for doctors.
584
00:27:37,578 --> 00:27:40,080
If you have any
influence with him,
585
00:27:40,330 --> 00:27:42,583
urge him to go in
for a complete physical.
586
00:27:42,916 --> 00:27:44,209
Is something wrong?
587
00:27:44,334 --> 00:27:45,627
Other than his fractures?
588
00:27:46,461 --> 00:27:47,880
That's just it.
589
00:27:47,963 --> 00:27:50,841
Sometimes almost
spontaneous fractures
590
00:27:50,924 --> 00:27:53,010
like these can be indicative of
591
00:27:53,135 --> 00:27:54,970
a more serious disease.
592
00:27:56,263 --> 00:27:59,183
Doctor, there's nothing
spontaneous about his fractures.
593
00:27:59,266 --> 00:28:01,185
First, parachuting in
on the beach.
594
00:28:01,268 --> 00:28:03,562
And then the guy in the bar
must have weighed...
595
00:28:03,645 --> 00:28:06,231
300 pounds, easy,
and a fist like King Kong.
596
00:28:06,315 --> 00:28:08,609
Yeah, Buck did let
a few details slip.
597
00:28:09,026 --> 00:28:10,527
Only thing,
598
00:28:10,611 --> 00:28:12,613
there was absolutely no trauma
599
00:28:12,696 --> 00:28:15,240
to the foot
and none to the hand.
600
00:28:15,490 --> 00:28:17,326
I can find no relation
whatever between
601
00:28:17,409 --> 00:28:20,454
these fractures
and Mr. Gibson's stunts.
602
00:28:28,212 --> 00:28:30,839
There was a lull
in the Buck Gibson storm.
603
00:28:31,048 --> 00:28:33,050
And I was going to
take advantage of it.
604
00:28:33,133 --> 00:28:36,220
The doctor had started
my little voice talking.
605
00:28:36,303 --> 00:28:38,555
And I didn't like
what it was saying.
606
00:28:38,805 --> 00:28:40,515
Now, I make it a rule of honor
607
00:28:40,641 --> 00:28:43,143
to always respect
another man's privacy.
608
00:28:43,227 --> 00:28:46,647
But, after all,
it was still my bathroom.
609
00:29:00,953 --> 00:29:02,537
Uh, Jimmy.
610
00:29:02,788 --> 00:29:05,040
Jimmy never would
give me his recipe.
611
00:29:05,165 --> 00:29:09,002
But I think I got his old
Bazooka all figured out.
612
00:29:09,378 --> 00:29:12,172
Two kinds of rum.
Dark rum, light rum,
613
00:29:12,936 --> 00:29:16,315
uh, guava and crème de menthe.
614
00:29:17,010 --> 00:29:18,637
What do you think, huh?
615
00:29:19,638 --> 00:29:21,473
Yeah, well, it smells
close enough, all right.
616
00:29:22,808 --> 00:29:25,018
Uh, say, Buck, you will tell
me the truth on this, won't you?
617
00:29:25,102 --> 00:29:26,311
Ooh, absolutely.
618
00:29:26,395 --> 00:29:28,855
Brutally honest, old man,
brutally honest.
619
00:29:28,981 --> 00:29:30,565
Now let's see.
620
00:29:30,774 --> 00:29:32,776
"He stepped from the shower,
621
00:29:32,985 --> 00:29:34,820
"black and chiseled.
622
00:29:35,028 --> 00:29:37,864
"The enveloping steam
was like smoke.
623
00:29:37,990 --> 00:29:40,409
Otis was ready
for the night."
624
00:29:44,162 --> 00:29:45,914
It needs ouzo.
625
00:29:46,873 --> 00:29:48,166
Ouzo?
626
00:29:48,250 --> 00:29:49,918
Yeah, yeah, lacks character.
627
00:29:50,043 --> 00:29:51,044
Otis?
628
00:29:51,169 --> 00:29:52,379
Otis?
629
00:29:52,921 --> 00:29:56,383
Otis! Oh, no,
I like it, I like it so far.
630
00:29:56,466 --> 00:29:59,136
It's... it's got,
uh, guts.
631
00:30:00,137 --> 00:30:01,513
Yeah, guts.
632
00:30:01,596 --> 00:30:03,557
Oh, wait till you get
to the tattoo scene.
633
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,267
I got plenty of guts there.
634
00:30:07,519 --> 00:30:09,479
Yeah, I can hardly wait.
635
00:30:11,565 --> 00:30:13,066
Now, listen.
636
00:30:13,358 --> 00:30:15,527
Uh, T.C., I really want
to do this justice.
637
00:30:15,652 --> 00:30:17,654
But I... I think I can
give it a better read
638
00:30:17,738 --> 00:30:19,656
if I'm all by myself.
639
00:30:20,532 --> 00:30:22,826
Yeah, sure. I don't want to
mess with your concentration.
640
00:30:22,909 --> 00:30:25,287
A-Alone, you know what I mean?
641
00:30:25,620 --> 00:30:27,497
Oh, yeah, sure, sure.
642
00:30:27,664 --> 00:30:29,916
- You don't mind, do you?
- Oh, no. No.
643
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,501
Wanna take your drink with you?
644
00:30:31,585 --> 00:30:34,338
Uh, no, I don't like
to drink and drive, you know.
645
00:30:35,464 --> 00:30:36,923
Yeah.
646
00:30:56,109 --> 00:30:58,153
Magnificent, isn't it?
647
00:30:59,946 --> 00:31:01,823
You talking about the scenery
648
00:31:01,907 --> 00:31:03,367
or about Buck?
649
00:31:03,450 --> 00:31:04,856
Why, Mr. Magnum,
650
00:31:04,951 --> 00:31:07,329
I didn't know you were
a man who liked riddles.
651
00:31:07,412 --> 00:31:10,207
Well, I don't very much.
I prefer straight talk.
652
00:31:10,332 --> 00:31:12,167
Straight answers.
653
00:31:12,584 --> 00:31:15,212
Sounds like you, uh,
have some questions.
654
00:31:15,337 --> 00:31:16,922
Yes, I do.
655
00:31:17,255 --> 00:31:19,591
Starting with
the pills Buck takes,
656
00:31:19,758 --> 00:31:22,469
and the bones that were
broken for no reason,
657
00:31:22,594 --> 00:31:24,805
and Dr. Murphy in New York.
658
00:31:25,013 --> 00:31:26,765
You talked to Dr. Murphy?
659
00:31:26,848 --> 00:31:29,309
- How did you know about...
- Prescription bottle.
660
00:31:29,393 --> 00:31:31,019
But he wouldn't
tell me anything.
661
00:31:31,103 --> 00:31:33,397
A patient's records
are confidential.
662
00:31:33,522 --> 00:31:35,732
But his voice
sure told me something.
663
00:31:37,526 --> 00:31:39,653
You know, Magnum, I thought
I was hiring a bodyguard,
664
00:31:39,736 --> 00:31:41,446
not a detective.
665
00:31:41,863 --> 00:31:43,281
How bad is it, Joan?
666
00:31:43,365 --> 00:31:45,033
Probably nothing at all.
667
00:31:45,117 --> 00:31:46,326
Or?
668
00:31:46,410 --> 00:31:48,120
Look.
669
00:31:48,328 --> 00:31:51,289
Buck has had a calcium problem
since he was 20 years old.
670
00:31:51,415 --> 00:31:53,583
If he doesn't take his pills...
671
00:31:53,792 --> 00:31:56,503
Why does everyone
automatically jump...
672
00:32:08,348 --> 00:32:10,851
They ran a
complete battery of tests on him
673
00:32:10,976 --> 00:32:12,894
72 hours ago in New York.
674
00:32:14,771 --> 00:32:17,190
We should know
something by today.
675
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,194
But will Buck
hang around New York?
676
00:32:21,319 --> 00:32:24,322
No. He has to fly off
here on an adventure.
677
00:32:25,866 --> 00:32:28,201
Dr. Murphy was good enough
to tell me about it.
678
00:32:30,162 --> 00:32:31,746
So you made up the whole story
679
00:32:31,830 --> 00:32:33,540
about the alimony
so I'd stop him...
680
00:32:33,605 --> 00:32:35,834
To keep him from
making a fool of himself.
681
00:32:36,084 --> 00:32:39,754
And I wish I could think of one
good reason why I'm bothering.
682
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,840
Now if you come up with
something preposterous
683
00:32:41,923 --> 00:32:45,719
like I still care about him,
or what he's doing or how...
684
00:32:48,346 --> 00:32:50,390
God, I wish I had a cigarette.
685
00:32:54,436 --> 00:32:55,687
Oh, no.
686
00:32:55,770 --> 00:32:57,606
Stop! Stop this instant!
687
00:32:57,689 --> 00:32:59,024
Relax, Higgins,
688
00:32:59,107 --> 00:33:00,817
you got to blow it
all once in a while.
689
00:33:00,901 --> 00:33:02,861
I forbid you to...
690
00:33:04,905 --> 00:33:06,031
You were supposed to protect...
691
00:33:06,114 --> 00:33:07,574
Higgins, give me
the keys to the Audi.
692
00:33:07,657 --> 00:33:10,285
- If anything happens to that car...
- Come on, I'm losing time.
693
00:33:45,612 --> 00:33:46,863
You idiot!
694
00:33:48,615 --> 00:33:49,950
Come on.
695
00:33:56,164 --> 00:33:57,582
You wanna race?
696
00:33:57,666 --> 00:33:59,167
Buck, pull over.
697
00:33:59,292 --> 00:34:00,669
I'll spot you points.
698
00:34:00,752 --> 00:34:01,962
Pull over.
699
00:34:02,045 --> 00:34:03,171
Meet you back at the club.
700
00:34:21,648 --> 00:34:24,109
I was looking at several
very grim possibilities
701
00:34:24,234 --> 00:34:26,027
involving
the destruction of Buck,
702
00:34:26,111 --> 00:34:27,946
the Ferrari,
innocent bystanders,
703
00:34:28,029 --> 00:34:29,698
or any combination thereof.
704
00:34:34,536 --> 00:34:36,621
There were much fewer
good possibilities
705
00:34:36,705 --> 00:34:39,165
and they didn't come
readily to mind.
706
00:34:44,087 --> 00:34:45,463
Look out!
707
00:35:02,772 --> 00:35:04,190
I'm out of the race.
708
00:35:04,316 --> 00:35:06,484
- Get out of the car.
- It was those goats.
709
00:35:06,776 --> 00:35:09,362
Why do I always
brake for animals?
710
00:35:09,583 --> 00:35:11,072
Get out of the car!
711
00:35:11,156 --> 00:35:12,407
All right, all right,
712
00:35:12,490 --> 00:35:14,034
what's... what's the matter
with you, boy?
713
00:35:14,117 --> 00:35:15,952
You take a risk like that.
714
00:35:16,077 --> 00:35:17,454
This is my skin.
715
00:35:17,579 --> 00:35:18,872
And Robin's car.
716
00:35:18,947 --> 00:35:21,249
He can buy another one.
He can afford it, so can I.
717
00:35:21,374 --> 00:35:22,959
And what about those people
you almost killed,
718
00:35:23,043 --> 00:35:24,336
can they buy another life?
719
00:35:24,461 --> 00:35:27,088
Magnum, old boy,
nobody was hurt.
720
00:35:27,356 --> 00:35:29,317
By some
incredible stroke of luck!
721
00:35:29,424 --> 00:35:32,218
Look, Buck, if you want to kill yourself,
leave the rest of the world out of it.
722
00:35:32,302 --> 00:35:34,304
We'd like to live
a few more years.
723
00:35:37,599 --> 00:35:38,767
Yeah.
724
00:35:40,352 --> 00:35:42,729
Buck, I know all about it.
725
00:35:44,481 --> 00:35:46,941
Joan says that the doctor
thinks the odds are
726
00:35:47,025 --> 00:35:48,610
it's just your
calcium deficiency.
727
00:35:48,735 --> 00:35:50,320
Calcium deficiency?
728
00:35:52,030 --> 00:35:54,032
Oh, Magnum.
729
00:35:54,232 --> 00:35:57,494
Magnum, old boy,
don't you have any sensibilities?
730
00:35:57,869 --> 00:36:00,038
I'm a gambler.
Well, I'm a writer.
731
00:36:00,121 --> 00:36:01,873
All writers are gamblers.
732
00:36:04,334 --> 00:36:06,419
I'm a carefree, happy-go-lucky,
733
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:08,797
adventuresome...
734
00:36:10,090 --> 00:36:11,633
You know...
735
00:36:11,758 --> 00:36:14,594
You see, I... I have...
I have got to have
736
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,513
some fatal disease.
737
00:36:16,930 --> 00:36:18,056
It's poetic.
738
00:36:18,306 --> 00:36:19,599
Yeah.
739
00:36:23,019 --> 00:36:26,106
Oh, boy, I'm tired.
Bone-tired.
740
00:36:26,189 --> 00:36:28,441
Like I've never
been tired before.
741
00:36:32,195 --> 00:36:34,864
I don't want to take
that call from Murphy.
742
00:36:34,989 --> 00:36:37,575
I don't want to know
the results of the tests.
743
00:36:39,577 --> 00:36:41,204
Come on, you got me
talking maudlin.
744
00:36:41,329 --> 00:36:43,331
I hate that.
Take me home, will you?
745
00:36:44,958 --> 00:36:48,962
Well, if I have to wait for
that call with... with anybody,
746
00:36:49,337 --> 00:36:51,005
it might as well be you.
747
00:36:53,758 --> 00:36:55,885
"His massive biceps bulging,
748
00:36:56,010 --> 00:36:58,179
his muscular chest
covered with sweat,
749
00:36:58,346 --> 00:37:00,390
Otis pulled
Lotus Blossom's willing,
750
00:37:00,473 --> 00:37:02,517
heaving body into the chopper.
751
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,853
As she covered his face
with desperate kisses,
752
00:37:04,936 --> 00:37:06,187
he fired his engine
753
00:37:06,312 --> 00:37:09,107
determined to rescue the man
who had sworn to kill him."
754
00:37:09,190 --> 00:37:12,736
Well, the plot is thin,
but it really isn't bad.
755
00:37:12,944 --> 00:37:14,195
Coffee?
756
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,156
Uh, yeah, sure. Why not?
757
00:37:24,054 --> 00:37:25,457
Answer that, will you?
758
00:37:31,296 --> 00:37:34,174
Hello.
Yeah, just a second.
759
00:37:37,051 --> 00:37:38,094
T.C.
760
00:37:38,178 --> 00:37:39,304
Oh.
761
00:37:44,225 --> 00:37:46,352
Hiya, T.C.
How you doin'?
762
00:37:46,978 --> 00:37:50,565
Yeah, yeah. No, no,
I haven't finished it yet.
763
00:37:50,648 --> 00:37:52,484
But so far, so good.
764
00:37:53,109 --> 00:37:55,278
Yeah, I'll let you know
just as soon as I do.
765
00:37:55,487 --> 00:37:58,156
Oh, you're... you're
very welcome. Goodbye.
766
00:38:02,619 --> 00:38:05,330
"Otis could feel
Lotus Blossom's kiss.
767
00:38:05,413 --> 00:38:07,290
It seemed to
cling to his lips."
768
00:38:14,798 --> 00:38:16,883
That's it. I've had it.
769
00:38:16,966 --> 00:38:19,093
I'm going down to the Aloha.
I need a Bazooka.
770
00:38:19,177 --> 00:38:21,638
- Come on, Buck.
- Take a message.
771
00:38:23,223 --> 00:38:25,934
Hello. Yeah.
Just a second.
772
00:38:26,226 --> 00:38:27,644
It's New York.
773
00:38:29,938 --> 00:38:31,481
It's Dr. Murphy.
774
00:38:55,338 --> 00:38:56,756
Hiya, Murph.
How you doing?
775
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,550
How's things in the Big Apple?
776
00:38:59,384 --> 00:39:01,511
Yeah, sure,
I'm sitting down. Why?
777
00:39:03,221 --> 00:39:05,098
No kiddin'.
778
00:39:05,723 --> 00:39:07,350
You're kidding!
779
00:39:07,725 --> 00:39:09,894
That's marvelous.
780
00:39:10,061 --> 00:39:12,480
Thank you, thank you, Murph.
Yeah, thank you very much.
781
00:39:12,605 --> 00:39:14,315
I'll see you. Goodbye.
782
00:39:15,692 --> 00:39:18,319
I don't believe it.
It's too corny.
783
00:39:18,611 --> 00:39:19,779
What?
784
00:39:21,197 --> 00:39:23,908
I really do have bone cancer.
785
00:39:25,285 --> 00:39:27,328
I'm really gonna die.
786
00:39:39,215 --> 00:39:42,010
Buck didn't seem as shaken
by the news as you'd expect.
787
00:39:42,343 --> 00:39:44,220
That made me suspicious.
788
00:39:44,387 --> 00:39:47,432
Unfortunately, it didn't make
me suspicious enough.
789
00:39:47,515 --> 00:39:49,142
That evening
we had a few drinks,
790
00:39:49,225 --> 00:39:51,644
and Buck put
a little surprise in mine.
791
00:39:51,853 --> 00:39:54,063
He proved a Mickey Finn
really could be made
792
00:39:54,147 --> 00:39:56,274
from what was
in a medicine cabinet.
793
00:39:57,275 --> 00:39:59,569
I had no idea
how long he'd been gone.
794
00:39:59,819 --> 00:40:01,863
I had no idea what he was up to.
795
00:40:01,988 --> 00:40:05,033
All I had was
the worst headache of my life.
796
00:40:07,952 --> 00:40:09,454
Magnum!
797
00:40:11,497 --> 00:40:12,957
Come in.
798
00:40:18,046 --> 00:40:20,089
I spoke to Dr. Murphy.
You knew.
799
00:40:20,715 --> 00:40:22,759
You found out yesterday?
800
00:40:22,884 --> 00:40:24,344
Why didn't you tell me?
801
00:40:24,469 --> 00:40:25,970
He made me promise I wouldn't.
802
00:40:26,054 --> 00:40:27,013
So what?
803
00:40:27,138 --> 00:40:28,389
Look, Joan, it's his life.
804
00:40:28,473 --> 00:40:29,849
I hired you.
805
00:40:29,933 --> 00:40:30,975
Yeah, to protect him.
806
00:40:31,059 --> 00:40:32,644
And that's what I did,
or at least I tried.
807
00:40:32,852 --> 00:40:35,563
Well, not good enough.
Not good enough at all.
808
00:40:35,688 --> 00:40:36,814
Now, where is he?
809
00:40:37,023 --> 00:40:38,191
I don't know.
810
00:40:38,274 --> 00:40:39,692
"Sorry for the grief, pal.
811
00:40:39,776 --> 00:40:41,069
I'm taking off for Asgard.
812
00:40:41,194 --> 00:40:43,071
Tell Joan she's a brick.
Buck."
813
00:40:43,154 --> 00:40:44,405
Oh, the vanity...
814
00:40:44,530 --> 00:40:45,615
Where is Asgard?
815
00:40:45,698 --> 00:40:47,909
Not "where,"
Magnum, "what."
816
00:40:48,201 --> 00:40:50,870
Asgard is Norse mythology,
817
00:40:50,954 --> 00:40:53,414
it's the home of slain heroes.
818
00:40:53,623 --> 00:40:56,542
Now we've got to find him
before it's too late.
819
00:40:56,626 --> 00:40:58,169
Joan, he could be anywhere.
820
00:40:58,419 --> 00:40:59,921
But there's a treatment.
821
00:41:00,046 --> 00:41:03,299
Dr. Murphy said he could...
he could have a remission.
822
00:41:04,592 --> 00:41:08,012
Please, Magnum, we can't
just let him write himself off.
823
00:41:10,223 --> 00:41:11,766
I know that.
824
00:41:22,610 --> 00:41:23,903
Higgins.
825
00:41:23,987 --> 00:41:25,571
Oh, Magnum.
826
00:41:25,905 --> 00:41:27,573
Glorious morning, eh?
827
00:41:27,699 --> 00:41:28,825
Have you seen Buck?
828
00:41:28,908 --> 00:41:31,911
Obviously. Why else would I
characterize the morning as glorious?
829
00:41:32,127 --> 00:41:34,163
- What do you mean?
- Don't you feel it, Magnum?
830
00:41:34,372 --> 00:41:36,582
The comforting void
of Buck's absence.
831
00:41:36,791 --> 00:41:38,167
Did he say anything?
832
00:41:38,251 --> 00:41:39,544
My, you're grim today.
833
00:41:39,627 --> 00:41:41,212
Has he broken
one of your few possessions?
834
00:41:41,295 --> 00:41:43,006
Did he say anything, Higgins?
835
00:41:43,131 --> 00:41:45,133
Yes.
And quite out of character.
836
00:41:45,258 --> 00:41:47,885
He apologized for any
inconvenience he might have caused
837
00:41:47,969 --> 00:41:50,013
and left a blank check
to cover damages.
838
00:41:50,096 --> 00:41:53,224
Gave me the impression
he would be gone for some time.
839
00:41:53,766 --> 00:41:55,226
Is something wrong?
840
00:41:55,351 --> 00:41:57,186
You have any idea
where he was going?
841
00:41:57,270 --> 00:41:58,938
That, I'm afraid,
is between Buck
842
00:41:59,022 --> 00:42:00,440
and the cabby
who called for him.
843
00:42:02,108 --> 00:42:04,027
Magnum, what's going on?
844
00:42:11,409 --> 00:42:13,327
If Buck was saying goodbye,
845
00:42:13,411 --> 00:42:16,497
I knew one place in Honolulu
he'd be sure to go.
846
00:42:16,622 --> 00:42:18,833
I just hoped I wasn't too late.
847
00:42:30,553 --> 00:42:31,763
Excuse me.
848
00:42:31,888 --> 00:42:34,265
Oh, it's the beer drinker.
849
00:42:34,374 --> 00:42:35,933
Is Buck around?
850
00:42:37,477 --> 00:42:39,103
Look, it's important.
851
00:42:39,187 --> 00:42:42,356
What a man does, where he goes,
852
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,526
that's his business, not mine.
853
00:42:45,735 --> 00:42:48,029
I'm not a cop.
I'm not a process server.
854
00:42:48,112 --> 00:42:49,655
I'm a friend of his.
855
00:42:51,574 --> 00:42:55,995
I never met a friend of Buck's
who didn't drink a Bazooka.
856
00:42:58,289 --> 00:43:00,458
I'm trying to save his life!
857
00:43:13,387 --> 00:43:16,474
He was in here.
But he's gone.
858
00:43:16,599 --> 00:43:17,892
What did he say?
859
00:43:17,975 --> 00:43:21,479
Nothing much.
Just "aloha."
860
00:43:22,355 --> 00:43:24,065
And something about
861
00:43:24,273 --> 00:43:26,734
a new world's
record hand-gliding.
862
00:43:27,985 --> 00:43:29,529
Molokai.
863
00:43:57,390 --> 00:44:00,768
Well, Magnum, I see you
made it up in time to see me off.
864
00:44:01,018 --> 00:44:02,270
How's your head?
865
00:44:04,897 --> 00:44:06,816
Ah, what a glorious
morning for flying.
866
00:44:06,899 --> 00:44:08,192
Look at Molokai out there.
867
00:44:08,276 --> 00:44:11,696
So close, I almost think I'm
tempted to do it without wings.
868
00:44:11,779 --> 00:44:13,406
Buck, just stop it.
Just cut it out.
869
00:44:13,531 --> 00:44:14,782
What are you sayin'?
870
00:44:14,866 --> 00:44:16,826
I'm sayin'...
You know what I'm sayin'.
871
00:44:16,951 --> 00:44:19,162
I'm not gonna let you do it.
Now let's get out of here.
872
00:44:19,287 --> 00:44:20,454
No way.
873
00:44:20,538 --> 00:44:23,583
I like the odds here
a lot better than in New York.
874
00:44:23,666 --> 00:44:26,961
There aren't any odds here,
Buck, and you know it.
875
00:44:27,086 --> 00:44:28,754
Come on, Buck,
you've got a chance.
876
00:44:28,838 --> 00:44:29,839
The doctor says...
877
00:44:29,964 --> 00:44:32,216
Doctor! That's no doctor.
That man is...
878
00:44:32,425 --> 00:44:36,721
No, no. He's gonna cut me up.
I'll die in little pieces.
879
00:44:36,846 --> 00:44:39,265
And what's the alternative,
Buck? Suicide?
880
00:44:39,348 --> 00:44:41,559
Come on, you're not a quitter.
You're a fighter.
881
00:44:41,642 --> 00:44:43,311
At least I always thought so.
882
00:44:43,394 --> 00:44:45,438
And so did a lot of
your readers, like T.C.
883
00:44:45,521 --> 00:44:47,064
They respect the way you live.
884
00:44:47,190 --> 00:44:49,233
Well, then, for God's sake,
885
00:44:49,309 --> 00:44:51,194
let them respect
the way I'm gonna die.
886
00:44:51,340 --> 00:44:52,130
Come on.
887
00:44:52,361 --> 00:44:54,614
Is this the way it's going
to end up with you and me?
888
00:44:54,739 --> 00:44:56,324
Wrassling around
here in the dirt
889
00:44:56,449 --> 00:44:58,284
before you drag me
down to your car?
890
00:44:58,409 --> 00:44:59,911
Pal, come on.
891
00:45:00,286 --> 00:45:02,079
Don't do this to me.
892
00:45:02,163 --> 00:45:04,081
Well, then I won't do it to you.
893
00:45:04,207 --> 00:45:05,875
I'll tell it to that little kid
894
00:45:05,947 --> 00:45:08,824
who had a curve ball that
would break your heart.
895
00:45:09,253 --> 00:45:12,048
And who ached for
Sandy Koufax's uniform.
896
00:45:12,256 --> 00:45:14,926
You see, because I had
a fantasy, too, once.
897
00:45:15,384 --> 00:45:20,890
Never, never, ever,
was I gonna be afraid of death.
898
00:45:21,224 --> 00:45:23,726
- What?
- Oh, yeah, always.
899
00:45:24,352 --> 00:45:26,520
Always hated myself for it.
900
00:45:27,688 --> 00:45:29,065
Yeah, I always...
901
00:45:29,148 --> 00:45:30,983
I always ran just a little
902
00:45:31,067 --> 00:45:32,818
too far out
in front of the bulls
903
00:45:32,902 --> 00:45:34,654
when we ran with them in Spain.
904
00:45:34,779 --> 00:45:39,242
I always pulled the ripcord
just one instant too soon.
905
00:45:41,035 --> 00:45:42,787
I was always afraid of dying.
906
00:45:44,372 --> 00:45:47,041
But now Death has screwed up.
907
00:45:47,250 --> 00:45:49,043
He's overplayed his hand.
908
00:45:49,293 --> 00:45:52,546
You see, it's the only thing
909
00:45:53,047 --> 00:45:55,508
that we're really
afraid of in death.
910
00:45:55,758 --> 00:45:58,844
We know it's inevitable,
we just don't know when.
911
00:45:58,970 --> 00:46:02,848
But now, don't you see,
now, I know
912
00:46:03,099 --> 00:46:05,393
that Death can't
cheat me of life,
913
00:46:05,518 --> 00:46:07,645
can't cheat me
of... of really,
914
00:46:07,853 --> 00:46:09,981
truly living a full life.
915
00:46:11,107 --> 00:46:15,820
Because now,
916
00:46:16,070 --> 00:46:19,657
I don't have to hold back
something
917
00:46:19,865 --> 00:46:23,077
to save for tomorrow,
for next year, next summer.
918
00:46:23,327 --> 00:46:25,371
Now, I know that
there never will be
919
00:46:26,372 --> 00:46:27,957
another summer.
920
00:46:29,292 --> 00:46:31,711
I know there
never will be another
921
00:46:32,295 --> 00:46:34,797
morning quite as
glorious as this.
922
00:46:36,549 --> 00:46:38,175
You see, I won
923
00:46:38,926 --> 00:46:41,012
because I've nothing to lose.
924
00:46:42,388 --> 00:46:44,181
What about Joan, Buck?
925
00:46:44,932 --> 00:46:46,684
You know,
she loves you very much.
926
00:46:46,934 --> 00:46:49,270
Joan? Tell Joan...
927
00:46:49,645 --> 00:46:50,938
What, Buck?
928
00:46:51,105 --> 00:46:52,565
Tell Joan she's a good woman,
929
00:46:52,653 --> 00:46:54,247
and I'll meet her
for lunch on Molokai.
930
00:46:55,818 --> 00:46:58,446
Give me a hand here, will
you, and get this thing aloft.
931
00:47:07,163 --> 00:47:08,456
Buck.
932
00:47:09,957 --> 00:47:12,710
What's a pal for
if not to see a pal off, huh?
933
00:47:14,757 --> 00:47:16,213
Okay, drop the nose.
934
00:47:36,275 --> 00:47:38,277
Don't look so grim, Magnum.
935
00:47:38,402 --> 00:47:40,404
With my luck, I'll make it.
