:20:01
What has happened?
:20:03
Well, Mr Buckner, he's sort of disappeared.
:20:06
They may have been attacked somewhere.
They warned him.
:20:10
They threw that stench bomb
on our lawn yesterday.
:20:12
Your aunt says there's been trouble
at Stanford Chemical.
:20:17
He has been threatened and there
have been anonymous phone calls.
:20:21
But those are from hotheads.
:20:23
Hotheads? What are they hot about?
:20:25
He's been negotiating with a conglomerate,
dickering to sell.
:20:29
A lot of the old retainers do not like this.
:20:31
You might say there has been
an excess of corporate bad feeling.
:20:36
I see. How'd you feel about this, ma'am?
Did you side with your husband?
:20:41
I was in the process of making up my mind,
which is beside the point right now.
:20:45
David is missing. That's the only issue.
:20:47
Yes, it certainly is, ma'am.
:20:50
Do you know his whereabouts tonight?
:20:52
He left the plant around seven.
He was going to Pinewild.
:20:55
- Pine...?
- Wild.
:20:57
Pinewild. I'm not familiar with that.
:21:00
We have a place up there.
:21:03
He should have arrived hours ago.
:21:05
The caretaker hasn't heard anything
:21:07
and the sheriffs mountain office
can't find him.
:21:10
Look, maybe they got hungry.
:21:13
- Maybe they stopped off for a drink.
- Rog, you know that isn't so.
:21:17
He told Benson he'd have supper up there.
:21:20
You know how awful those roads are.
:21:22
If he'd only taken the aerial tram
and had the caretaker meet him at the top.
:21:26
It's so much safer, faster.
:21:28
I checked with highway patrol and there's
no report of any accidents on those roads.
:21:33
There, you see?
:21:35
(Tuts) Oh...
:21:37
Lieutenant, I think we owe you a drink.
:21:41
When he was away last week,
you didn't notice he was gone.
:21:44
What made you call the police
tonight, of all nights?
:21:48
Do you want a drink?
:21:50
I called the commissioner of police and he
said he'd send over his very best man.
:21:56
- Is that a fact?
- My wife, she says I'm second best
:21:59
but she claims
there are 80 fellas tied for first.
