conversations.value: Against All Odds (1984 film): Professional football player Terry Brogan (Jeff Bridges) is released by his team.\nAging, injured and in need of money, he is contacted by an old acquaintance, the shady gambler and nightclub owner Jake Wise (James Woods), who wants Terry to find Jake\'s girlfriend Jessie Wyler (Rachel Ward), daughter of the Outlaws\' owner.\nJake claims that Jessie assaulted him, stole money and fled.\nTerry is reluctant to take on the job, but needs the money and knows Wise is capable of blackmailing him.\nTerry gets in touch with Jessie\'s mother (Jane Greer), ostensibly to find out where Jessie can be found, but mainly to convince mrs Wyler and her business partner Ben Caxton (Richard Widmark) to reinstate him on the team.\nmrs Wyler makes clear that she has no interest in his football career.\nShe\'s willing to pay him more than Jake would if he will find Jessie for her.\nBeyond that, she has no use for him.\nHank Sully (Alex Karras), the team\'s trainer, strongly advises Terry to stay away from Jake and offers to help Terry get a coaching job.\nTerry is convinced his days as a player are not over and instead decides to work for Jake to tide him over until the next season, when he can try to continue his playing career.\nTerry finds Jessie living in Cozumel.\nHe makes multiple attempts to approach Jessie, but she rebuffs him, aware that he must have been sent by either Jake or her mother.\nTerry tires of pursuing a spoiled brat and packs to leave, but Jessie appreciates that he hasn\'t revealed her whereabouts and invites him to see where she is staying.\nThey become lovers.\nTerry confides the leverage Jake has over him is the knowledge that Terry once shaved points in an important game after he had fallen into debt.\nTerry and Jessie remain happily together for a few weeks, with Terry continuing to tell Jake he\'s been unsuccessful in locating her.\nSully is sent by Jake to investigate.\nHe catches the lovers alone at the ruins of Chichen Itza.\nWielding a gun, Sully demands that Terry turn over the girl and warns him she\'s "no good".\nHe, too, has been involved in corruption with Jake\'s sports syndicate.\nA struggle between the men ensues and Jessie fatally shoots Sully.\nShe wants to flee, as the two will be unable to offer an explanation that will allow them to avoid jail.\nBut when Terry refuses, insisting that the two cannot just run away from the matter, Jessie abandons him.\nAfter disposing of Sully\'s body, Terry returns to Los Angeles and finds to his astonishment that Jessie has returned to Jake.\nHe is bitter toward her, but Jake maintains a hold over him with the point-shaving incident, as well as Sully\'s sudden disappearance.\nTerry is sent to break into the office of Kirsch (Saul Rubinek), the team\'s corrupt lawyer, who is also involved in Jake\'s gambling operation.\nTerry\'s mission is to retrieve Kirsch\'s files, which implicate everyone involved.\nTerry breaks into the office only to find Kirsch dead.\nA security guard has been hired to kill Terry and make it look like Terry committed the murder.\nTerry fights off the security guard, then hides Kirsch\'s body.\nHe finds a local bar frequented by Kirsch\'s secretary, Edie (Swoosie Kurtz), where he tells her what has happened and that she too is in danger.\nEdie tells him about a secret box that contains the information to bring down the entire syndicate and local politicians.\nThey return to the office to retrieve the box, where a fight occurs with another two guards, but again Terry escapes, this time with Edie and the files.\nJessie remains at Jake\'s side but claims to be still in love with Terry.\nShe knows that Jake is behind Kirsch\'s murder and informs Caxton, telling him that Jake has been handling bets on his old football team using information he\'s been given by Sully and Kirsch.\nWhat she doesn\'t know is that Caxton is actually Jake\'s boss at the syndicate.\nCaxton takes charge.\nHe arranges to meet Terry at the site of a new construction project that he and mrs Wyler are backing.\nTerry is able to disarm Caxton\'s armed henchman Tommy (Dorian Harewood).\nHe says his price for turning over the files is that Caxton must take down Jake.\nCaxton indicates he is receptive to that idea, whereupon Jake pulls his own gun and threatens to kill Jessie, forcing Terry to drop his weapon.\nWhile the men have their attention focused on each other, Jessie retrieves the dropped gun and shoots Jake.\nHaving killed both Jake and Sully, she must agree to terms set by Caxton to avoid going to jail.\nCaxton\'s terms include Jessie returning to her estranged mother\'s side and ending her relationship with Terry.\nMonths later, Terry stays in the background while attending a publicity function for Caxton\'s and mrs Wyler\'s construction project.\nHe just wants a last look at Jessie before leaving Los Angeles to play for a team in Miami.\nCaxton reminds him that he is no longer a part of Jessie\'s life.\nTerry acknowledges that this is true for the moment, but predicts that some day Jessie will break free of the hold that Caxton and mrs Wyler have on her.\nIn the meantime, all Terry and Jessie can do is stare at one another from a distance.

  It had been a lovely Christmas, and Kate was exhausted when they all left. So much had happened and was happening. It was hard to keep up with them. She liked Zoe better than she wanted to, because she still thought their age difference was too great, but it made sense to them. And she was a good woman and brought out the best in Willie. Even Kate could see that. He had matured noticeably since he'd been with her, and now seemed older than his years. He said they had no plans to marry and wanted only to live together, although he commented that he wanted to have children with her one day, which would have to be soon because of her age.
  Julie was busy at the store, working on the website between Christmas and New Year's Day, and Kate was in and out of the store but had less to do than Julie now. Julie had an appointment to meet with a new Web designer who had been recommended to her. She wanted to streamline their website and give it a more modern look. And all heads turned at the shop when he walked in. He was surprisingly handsome, but when he talked to Julie he was shy and awkward around her. He was beautiful to look at but a total geek. He came back the next day to show her some ideas, and he did very good work. Before he left, he blushed to the roots of his hair, and asked if she would have dinner with him sometime.
  Justin and Richard's Valentine's Day wedding was as corny as they'd promised. The setting in Kate's apartment looked lovely, but the wedding cake was pink, and Justin and Richard wore dark suits with pink shirts and pink ties. They refused to let anyone take it too seriously, although the ceremony was, but only the family was there.
  Izzie brought Jeff, the partner at her law firm that she had been dating for five months, and she admitted to her mother the night before the wedding that she really liked him. They were talking about living together eventually, but they weren't interested in marriage. They were happy as they were, and he was a responsible man and was great with Tommy.
  Julie brought Oliver at the last minute, and he was awkward but adoring whenever he looked at her. Justin said he was the best-looking man he'd ever seen but was a total geek. He could barely manage a conversation, except with Julie. They were comfortable with each other.

  Shirley and Jack came to the wedding and were touched to have been invited. And Alana was there too. She flew in from London especially to be there.
  Grandma Lou held court, and was leaving for Bangkok soon with Frances. Liam stood near Kate at the ceremony and kept an eye on her at the reception, and she finally came and sat next to him when the party was under way and everyone seemed to be having a good time.
  Kate and Liam stood eating their cake side by side, observing her family. They were all having a good time. And he was right. They had come through the mistakes they'd made, survived, and corrected them. Maybe that was how it had to happen. Maybe they had better odds on the second round. She hoped so for her children's sakes.

  That unbidden—and unwanted—thought took him by surprise. In general, he shied away from introspection. It reeked of self-indulgence and narcissism, and he considered it a waste of time.
  Startled, Coop glanced up. Mark was leaning against the door frame, stifling a huge yawn. His brown hair was sticking up at odd angles, and his shirt couldn't be more wrinkled if it had spent the past two weeks crumpled into a ball in the corner of a suitcase.
  Six hours later, when the ringing phone brought Coop instantly awake, he felt a little more human. The restorative power of a few hours of sleep never failed to astound him.
  As the accented voice spoke, Coop strode forward and checked the caller ID, a feature that had been added to her phone yesterday. The number on the digital display matched the one he'd memorized in David Callahan's file. He picked up the handset.
  Depressing the mute button, he turned to find Monica in the doorway, rubbing her eyes. She was dressed in a loose-fitting pair of sweatpants and a sweatshirt, her hair tangled, her face makeup free. It was apparent the ringing phone had roused her too.

  In a quick but thorough scan, Coop processed the scene. They wouldn't touch anything until the ERT arrived, but he could come to some pretty obvious conclusions from a visual sweep. The bed covers were in disarray, indicating a struggle. The window was open, pointing to the escape route. He tried not to fixate on the smears of blood that stained the sheets. At least there wasn't much of it. And it could be Minard's. The abductor couldn't have committed such a bloody murder without being splattered. His one consolation was that if the terrorists had gone to all this effort to get Monica out alive, they must intend to keep her that way.
  Focusing on the scene, he realized Rick was kneeling on the floor beside a piece of white cloth. As Coop watched, the other operator leaned down and sniffed the fabric.
  They found Mac studying the window in the adjacent room. When Coop drew close, the man pointed out the two sets of holes by the lock. "I've never seen anything like that."

  Finally, on a personal note, I'd like to pay tribute to three people who have had a tremendous influence on my writing career.
  And to the greatest parents (and proofreaders!) ever, James and Dorothy Hannon, who have always encouraged me to reach for the stars.
  Irene, who holds a BA in psychology and an MA in journalism, juggled two careers for many years until she gave up her executive corporate communications position with a Fortune 500 company to write full time. She is happy to say she has no regrets! As she points out, leaving behind the rush-hour commute, corporate politics, and a relentless BlackBerry that never slept was no sacrifice.
  When not otherwise occupied, Irene loves to cook and garden. She and her husband also enjoy traveling, Saturday mornings at their favorite coffee shop, and spending time with family. They make their home in Missouri.
