question about the pilot
whos side was the pilot on, who hired the pilot?
what did the pilot want?
The pilot worked for the other growers represented or headed up by the Jamie Lee Curtis character, Sierra. The local growers didn't want the mafia to muscle in on their bucolic little local industry. Once Malcolm made the deal with Gianni (Ted Danson) they arranged to have Malcolm whacked and would have whacked our three stooges, if they had cosummated the deal.
