born check her out why would she come back here after all these years how do i know maybe she didn't buy the fact that her old man just disappeared maybe she thought it came back too soon same thing could happen to her now wait a minute bo i uh i don't want to be partied any rough stuff what do you think happens if she gets some fancy accountant to go through the books and they find out we've taken over a quarter of a million off the top now i've never heard you complain about your cut before i had business reverses i went along with you on that but i i have to draw the line somewhere you're across the line henry you're an accessory to murder i wasn't here that night now i can prove that but when you found out you forgot to tell the sheriff didn't you same thing check her out janet would you mind coming into the living room for a minute of course man do you have everything you need fine thank you rachel the house looks lovely thank you are you on your way out yes hello janet why mr bancroft what a surprise how are you just fine good to see you welcome home come here sit down sit down well well well do you still have that lovely old office on warren street yes number 17. it's good to know some things never change yes we go back a long way don't we you know i remember the day you turned six you row down to the office just to show me your new chestnut pony bunky i think you called him forgive me henry but it was my seventh birthday the pony was a gray and her name was cindy don't you remember yes you're right about that i uh i guess i got that all mixed up but there is one thing i know i'm right about the milk you mean the warm milk at night he's doing better i had a glass of warm milk every night of my life before i went to sleep still do i'll see two at you get some tonight thank you yes that would be nice and rachel don't forget she uh likes a little cinnamon sprinkled on the top no mr pancroft nutmeg you've been testing me haven't you why yes we have and i'm i'm truly sorry to have to put you through that janet i well we had to make certain that you were in fact janet lemare as rachel's attorney i i had to protect her against the possibility that some uh adventurous might show up just about now you mean before saturday you know about saturday about my father's will yes well then why pretend you just dropped in out of the blue well when i met you and you were so kind i didn't have the heart to tell you i guess i was hoping i could find the right words but uh well now that we're all such good friends it it doesn't have to be that different just because samara's gonna belong to me rachel i do hope you'll come and visit whenever you're in the neighborhood oh and bo i hope you'll stay on that is if you don't mind taking orders from someone you probably still think of as a little girl well uh we'll talk about it mr lemire after a saturday of course well i'm off i think i'll just take a spin around the old place henry it's been marvelous seeing you and you [Music] hey mike you want to drive or what get over there get in your own corner [Music] pal [Music] [Applause] okay i think i'm all in one piece back off my i guess we ran out of road my fault oh sightseeing is it all right i don't know let's check it out here let me give you a hand bike seems okay you know i jockey this bronco halfway around the world and the first time it throws me is when i come home you live around here i did when i was a child in the house on the hill you're janet lemare yes well well how are you fine thank you what's the matter i thought maybe you'd remember remember that you know when you were supposed to be asleep and you'd climb out the window and down the tree and come down the hill to see me oh of course then you must be aaron collegian aaron aaron collegian it's been a long time it certainly has hey you remember that night halloween halloween the blood oath how could i forget halloween the blood oath i never told anybody about that did you well of course not we promised didn't we we did and no one ever knew not a cell well i better be getting back they're probably worrying about me i hope we run into each other again sometime so janet you remember that time in the barn down by the river you fell out of the hay loft i tried to catch you and broke my collarbone i felt so awful about that it's all healed now that's good well goodbye you ah [Music] come here mike come here come on [Music] you like her huh well don't let that pretty face fool you she's a phony [Music] there never was a barn down by the river [Music] rachel i don't intend on turning this place over to anyone won't she taste it not with a nutmeg on [Music] top come in i brought you milk i hope it's warm enough how kind of you did you think i'd forget no i didn't well pleasant dreams rachel thank you for everything [Music] oh [Music] get everything block of cement canvas tarp and some nylon rope what about our motorcycle that's in the garage i'll pick it up okay look around back won't be long to [Music] so [Music] a little bitty night going like that she could catch her death in the swamp just like her daddy did [Music] ready to get rid of him [Music] ah [Music] mrs lemaire yes i have to speak to you it's urgent it's late you'll have to come back tomorrow it will only take a second i understand there's a young woman in this house who claims to be janet lemare claims to be yes a gasoline attendant in town told me that she refueled her motorcycle this morning and asked for directions to samara vineyard show the man in how you doing i'm beau creel i run the place for mrs lemire scott woodville i'm an attorney about this girl uh you saying she's an imposter oh first order she's well i'm sorry i'm not at liberty to discuss the details of the case uh where is she oh she's not here not here i don't understand no she says she's going into town any idea where no just to visit a childhood friend said she wouldn't be back till late well i suggest that when she does get back we have the sheriff waiting for her oh no need for you to stare mr woodville we'll uh we'll call sheriff hopkins ourselves oh very well i'm glad it'll be taken care of tonight it could be very embarrassing if those two women were to meet two women we asked the impostor and the real janet the lemare oh didn't i mention it there's good news mr mayor will be flying in tomorrow morning at 10. there's no need for you to make any thoughts she'll be staying at the hotel hotel why was she why she'd be standing here i'm not sure miss lamer would rather explain that herself good night looks like we just wasted a glass of warm milk what are we going to tell the sheriff she didn't come back she lost her nerve tell a while to bring in the tarpon rope what about the real janet lemay we'll take care of her when the time comes [Music] [Music] i'll take it back [Music] [Music] wow what well i'll say this you got some nerve coming back here do you really think i'd fall for that warm milk bit laurie named woodville uh just dropped by said that the real janet lemaire would be coming by here tomorrow she got away oh nice try you know i say this for you you sure came prepared but all i got to do is call a sheriff and he's going to put you away for a nice long stretch fine that'll give me plenty of time to tell him about the kind of milkshakes you serve around here why did you come back okay she got away no one knows what i look like it'll still work what are you after half of whatever there is half the vineyards grapes who's talking about grapes what else is she that's what i'm here to find out find out about what oh i don't have to be a mind reader to know what you two are thinking you get me to tell you what i know and then you dump me someplace well i'd advise you not to do that anything happens to me i've got friends out there keep talking when we kidnapped janet lemire that's all it was gonna be i'd sell off everything and then we'd divvy up the proceeds we gave her a shot a truth drug i asked her the questions and she filled me in on everything from the time she was a kid then suddenly she started mumbling about some guys who made her business proposition what guys i asked her that she didn't know what she did say is that the vineyards were worth a fortune she said they mentioned a figure what figure 20 million here what don't you understand you gave her a needle she's dreaming you give somebody a truth drug and they tell you the truth now what could be on this place worth 20 million bucks that's what we're gonna find out how first off no milkshakes we keep an eye on her she's bright but she doesn't know we know she'll make a slip just one little slip and that's all we need then we'll make our move do we have a deal [Music] [Applause] so that my boy there's no motorcycle make it look good you have an audience jill you look terrible see bosley never give up hope plans do change yes indeed they do how much their jacket set you back a butt house killing last night they tried to drop her into the swamp right next to her daddy today they're thick as thieves they brought it then the whole package oh sabrina one thing it seems there was someone in janet the mayor's life when she was a child i better fill you in about the young man with a pickup truck and a dog called mike i'll tell you about it in the car leslie i think perhaps i have to sign something [Music] oh [Music] i want to know who he is what he's up to [Music] so they just came in yes sir the flowers have been taken care of may i help you yes i'm janet lumet oh yes miss lemaire uh we have your reservation and may i say welcome home thank you it is the fourth floor absolutely uh suite 400. oh i'm afraid there's been some mistake now my section mr woodville when i phoned you from mexico city didn't i tell you that miss lemaire wanted the fourth floor isn't that what i requested yes sir uh i can assure you miss lemaire suite 400 is on the fourth floor yes well you don't seem to understand i meant the fourth floor [Music] the entire floor yes there are two of us but there are people on the fourth floor very well if you can't arrange it oh no no no uh it'll take just a minute to move them you're very kind mr mayor don't forget they're expecting you at samara yes they're on their way up i'm all playing on the whole fourth floor all that money and she's back for more money comes to money not if we get there first henry not if we get there first shall i put these in the bedroom yes please it's a nice room isn't it it's not good it's a little overdone it's not bad actually kind of early america nothing would you like me to have them send up some coffee no i don't think so maybe uh a little bit later how about a salad you didn't have anything to eat on the plane well i suppose it's made me nervous coming home again for the first time oh miss lemaire what lovely flowers i wonder who could have sent them there's a card let's see to open welcome home janet from an old family friend henry bancroft do you remember him yes of course he used to come to the house every sunday father used to say if there's one person in the world you can trust it's henry bancroft i'll let you know when the rest of the floor is ready thank you thank you his name is bosling he's at that motel on the west end of town what's he do says he's a bird watcher a bird watcher she takes a whole floor and he stays at a motel why it's cover take your company i'll get it oh come in it's mr bosley coming our friend the bird watching won't you sit down thank you well mr bosley right on time as usual right on time for what it's about the deal i can just feel it can i get you a drink uh no uh no thank you nothing for me i've got to keep a clear head today odd thing i've never been overly impressed with money i'm a man of simple habits my needs are few but suddenly to be within arm's nothing goes length don't worry mr boxley nothing will go wrong that's very kind of you oh that'll be los angeles mosley here charlie are you here can you talk uh no problem sir well what do you think is it a-okay the tests are very promising sir as i was just indicating to ms lemaire you mean she's there with you now you could say that sir now listen bosley i want a yes or no just that you understand yes or no did she sign no leslie we're talking about millions will she i'm convinced of it good you're really carving her up and you'll make your final test when that'll be in the warning sir oh one more thing bosley we'll have to move fast we're done for if that gang from overseas hears about it we can't outbid them already here sir uh we can roll as soon as you get the equipment here you don't have to worry about my end bosley i'm looking at some of the equipment right now and believe me it's ready to move well then you know where to reach me miss lemare yes of course if you'll just leave the papers with my secretary i'll sign them tonight here you are thank you well goodbye get going don't let him out of your sight and you're sure she won't recognize you i told you she was drugged the whole time all right you better get on back to the house have rachel fill you in on who you're supposed to be okay i uh i don't trust that one [Music] what makes you think i do [Music] [Music] yeah

mike good dog aaron aren't you arum erum collegian yeah that's right but you don't remember me no and you've probably forgotten all about our blood oath janet lemare yes this is getting to be some curve you know you really haven't changed a bit you have have i well little girls do grow up they say sometimes into beautiful women thank you hey how's your collarbone which collarbone is that well don't you remember the day i fell out of the hay loft in the barn the barn the barn down by the river you know i'm getting pretty tired of meeting janet lemares every day what the devil are you two up to who you and the one yesterday the one that filled you in filled me in about what you can turn it off honey there never was a barn down by the river i made it up i see you're gonna give me away give me a reason i shouldn't you didn't say anything about yesterday's janet lemare no i didn't why not anything she could do to shake up those two on the hill was okay with me you know it's too bad you weren't for real the girl i used to know had a lot of spunk she would have changed some things around here ever since old man lemaire disappeared it's been tough for the people down the hill to get a fair break things are going to change around here aaron trust me please don't give me away your name sabrina go shake him up sabrina [Music] my tree i used to climb down it when i was supposed to be asleep and no one ever knew what can i say it's home that uh lawyer feller woodville i guess he told you about the impostor yes she was working with the two men who drugged me must have been an awful experience well fortunately all i remember about it is her voice dreadful girl leaning over me asking question after question after well it does and uh you're rachel's cousin georgette from houston yes well you're very pretty thank you must be nice to be home safe and sound yes it is and on saturday samara is all yours well not really henry what do you mean by that and on saturday samara may be mine by law but not by right after all the love and the care that you've given to samara all these years rachel i couldn't dream of taking it away from you i mean you're letting me keep it quite simply yes that's the most generous thing i've ever heard well it's very easy to be generous when you're the only niece of a number of rich relatives all of whom died childless i've been very lucky you can work out the details with mr woodville can't you henry yes yes yes of course i don't know what to say well there's just one small thing what's that i've been traveling quite a lot and when i was in tibet i met an old man in the llamas tree who taught me that the true power of money is in giving and leaving something to show that your life had been useful well wherever i've gone i've tried to remember what he taught me um i helped to build a church in a tiny indian pueblo and a home for unwed mothers in boston here at samara i would like to leave something in its own beautiful setting that would last forever a bird sanctuary a bird sanctuary yes i was thinking of the 40 acres down by the south end swamp well it's of no use to you rachel and the birds would love it would you mind terribly no of course not well i really must be going it was so nice to see you again henry and you i'll show you to the door thank you rachel it was lovely to see you all goodbye goodbye i'm so happy you agreed with my plan rachel it was such a small thing to ask yes well we'll call it the vincent the mayor sanctuary after my father whatever you may be you know it's all just exactly as i remember it except somehow i thought it was larger this swamp that's got to be it [Music] been at it for a couple hours now doesn't look like he's after birds not unless they fly underwater where's he going looks like he's heading for the landing [Music] so [Music] hmm oh good morning nice day huh oh yes this is a private property what are we doing out there oh i'm terribly sorry i was uh bird watching marvel's hobby our feathered friends i made a few remarkable discoveries this morning i saw a speckled robin now that's the first one i've seen this far north in years by any chance did you see a lion swallow i don't believe i know the species i'm looking at one i don't understand you're no more bird watcher than i am i am a life member of the audubon society look mr bosley i know all about the phone call from charlotte the test the equipment and i didn't hear anything about no speckle robin please if charlie finds out i've blown my cover i'll lose my job what is your job i beg of you don't ask me you don't know the people you're dealing with they can topple governments and you don't know the people you're dealing with if you don't talk the only bird around here is gonna be a dead duck you got five seconds plaza now what is it out there that's worth millions oil enough to make texas look like a country gas station are you sure maybe we ought to check it out we did we we persuaded the bird watcher to give us that uh la number you know who charlie is x-o oil and and that bunch from overseas from iran no wonder miss hi and mighty could afford to be so generous the problem is how we gonna get the swamp away from her we don't have to the land isn't hers we sold it off to a man named hawkins the land was worthless and beau wanted a new car can you get it back no problem hawkins is what you might call a anxious [Music] seller [Music] hey [Music] hold it no now hold it i know i know we've had our run-ins but i'm here to straighten all that out how about it hawkins hawkins he ain't here when's he coming back hey well can we talk stay where you are hi i'm bo creo i know you are mr hawkins warned us about you when we bought this place you you bought it yeah my grandpa and me gave mr hawkins what he paid for it twenty thousand him and his family went back to arizona who is it jelly lou calls himself beau creel what's he what don't know yet well you see uh i'll come here with this very generous business proposition i don't trust a man whose teeth don't show when he smiles when hawkins saw you this place i guess he forgot to mention it was worthless didn't have to any fool could see that it's mostly swamp then why buy it uh you wouldn't understand grandpa had always wanted to find the right piece of swamp plan where he could live out the rest of his days born in the swamp he was just like me and my mom in a bayou down by the mouth of the big muddy as far as your eyes could see it was swampland with tree stumps rotting in the slime but it weren't ours i wonder if you had enough money to buy a bigger and better place how much money are you talking about how's 25 000 sound what's the answer to they know trying to steal the place away from us from the sound of it oh you won't let him do that where do you don't worry grandpa shoot him if you have to he's trespassing i can handle him same thing goes for that arab when he comes back arab from iran what do you want same as you grandpa's swamp had a fella with him with a whole big bag of money how much did he offer 100 000 said he'd go higher how much higher why do you want it so bad wait see uh we're gonna build this spirit sanctuary how does 150 000 sound i don't know i told your grandpa's swamp folk 200 get rid of him jilly lou he's going grandpa just leave him to me you know grandpa's getting old and he really ain't dealing with the full deck up there so uh i think i could get him to sell but how much quarter of a million [Music] 230 000 [Music] 240. 250 000 [Music] won't my grandpa be happy to
