Original subtitles

Once upon a time,

there were three little girls who went to the police academy...

Two in Los Angeles,

the other in San Francisco...

And they were each assigned very hazardous duties.

But I took them away from all that, and now they work for me.

My name is Charlie.

Thank you.

That's plenty. Thank you.

Does Bosley's arm have a cramp, or is he actually reaching for his wallet?

My dear Angels, you performed even beyond your

usual degree of excellence on our last case.

So it is only fair that I reach ever so quickly for the check.

But, Kelly, I am crushed to think that you would think that I would not.

Oh, well, Bosley, I'm deeply, deeply sorry.

Don't be so deeply, deeply sorry.

It's going on the expense account.

Oh, Kris, my love, that is a cruel stroke but true.

Hmm. Listen. I've got to get going. I have an appointment with Pierre.

Who's Pierre? Pierre runs his fingers through her hair.

- Her hairdresser? - Bosley, you're becoming more perceptive every year.

Hmm?

You didn't notice... My new jacket,

- my new scarf, my new bag. - We noticed.

- I love that new bag. - Isn't this nice?

Oh, I got to go. I'm parked out back.

Okay, but don't forget... Tomorrow, the office, 10:00.

- 10:00. - Maybe we'll go out to the beach afterwards, huh?

Ah, the beach. That'd be great. I'd love it.

Maybe I'll buy a new bikini.

Hey, Burton, let it go.

Come on, Burton! Forget it!

I thought I told you never to come back here again.

What you did... was bad, Jarvis.

I'm a customer. I spend money here!

You shouldn't have called the police. You were drunk and mean.

Now you better get out of here before I call the police.

♪♪

Hey!

Come on! You out of your mind?

Get in!

Hey, hold it!

Burton. What are you gonna do now?

She's seen me. I'm gonna make sure. Listen, you crazy?

Hey, lady! You crazy? You trying to get yourself killed?

Paper, lady?

You know, lady, there are easier ways to hail a cab.

Still no sign of her, Bosley?

Nothing, Charlie. I haven't heard a word.

Oh, wait a second. Sabrina's back.

Yeah, also with nothing. Checked her house. She's not there.

Car isn't there. Talked to her neighbor.

And? Said she might not have even come home last night.

Angels, it's not like Kris to just disappear.

Was she upset about anything when she left you at the restaurant?

No, she was fine. As a matter of fact,

She had an appointment to have her hair done.

I called her hairdresser. She didn't keep the appointment.

I think we've got to face the fact that Kris may be in trouble.

- Okay, how do we find her? - I'll file a missing persons report...

with the police, and meanwhile, I suggest

you all start looking where you last saw her.

The restaurant. Good a place as any. We'll keep in touch, Charlie.

Please do. Every minute.

Kris. Kris, come on, honey. You're too close to the water.

Kris. Kris, come on, honey.

You're too close to the water. Come on.

Hi. Hello. Hi.

We were in here yesterday. There was another

girl with us, and we're trying to find out...

where she went when she left here or if she came back here.

Yeah, so could we talk to the owner or the manager?

Jarvis? Not likely. He's dead.

Dead? Yeah. Yesterday afternoon...

somebody caved his head in out in the rear parking lot.

In fact, the police are out there again today...

trying to figure out what happened. Thank you very much.

Oh, uh, excuse me, Officer. Yes.

Uh, we're from the Townsend Agency.

What can I do for you? Well, we're looking for one of our people, and...

Bosley. There's her car.

- Locked. - What do you think that means?

- Guess she never got in. - Well, then, how did she leave here?

- I don't know. - Maybe we should ask around.

Excuse me. Hi.

We were, uh, wondering if you're a regular around here.

- Who wants to know? - Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Sabrina Duncan.

This is Kelly Garrett. We're looking for a friend.

The last time we saw her was here. We thought if you were a regular,

maybe you might have seen her. That's her car over there.

Yeah. When was it you lost track of her?

Yesterday around 4:00.

Her name is Kris Munroe.

We're awfully anxious to find her.

Do you think you might've seen her?

Yeah, I think I did. Nice-lookin' lady.

- When? - Yesterday afternoon.

Well, did you... Did you see her out here...

or, uh... or inside there? Out here.

- It was about 4:00. - What was she doing?

- Just standing around, I think. - Standing around?

- Wa-Was she talking to anyone? - Yeah.

Big guy, sort of mean lookin'.

- You wouldn't happen to know who he was? - No.

But I know a lot of the people that hang out around here.

Maybe I could ask around for you.

Terrific. Do you have a phone number?

Townsend Detective...

- You ladies detectives? - Yeah.

That number can get us at home or at our office or, if need be, in our cars.

Okay. I'll keep in touch.

Oh, my name's Burton... Ted Burton.

Thank you very much, Mr. Burton. We appreciate your help.

Nice to be appreciated. I'll check with you later. Okay.

I don't know if it was just an odd

coincidence we've got here or something else.

Why? What did the officer say?

Well, the owner, Mr. Jarvis, was apparently robbed.

He died from a blow on the head sometime yesterday afternoon.

Maybe around 4:00? Possibly. Why?

Well, we just talked to a fella who thinks he saw Kris here around that time.

Do the police have a suspect? No, not yet.

But with Kris's disappearance and the killing both the same time,

I-I just don't like the feel of it.

Neither do I.

There you go. Thank you.

Pardon me. Uh, Times or Herald?

I need a little conversation. There's no profit in conversation.

There might be this time. We're looking for this girl.

Ah, that's the one.

Then you've seen her? Everybody saw her.

She wandered into the middle of the street and almost got hit by a taxi.

- Wait a minute. Are you sure it was her? - Do I look like a liar?

No, you don't look like a liar. Was she hurt?

- No. She was a lucky type. - Do you happen - to know where she went?

Yeah. She got in the taxi that almost hit her.

Did you notice the name of the cab company?

Uh, Allied Cab services this area.

Friend, you're a prince. Thank you. Thank you.

Hey, you want a paper? No, no. Here. Here's for a year's subscription.

Thanks.

This is a pleasant surprise, ma'am.

Ma'am?

My name is Jimmy No need to be scared, ma'am.

I'm just tryin' to be friendly.

Goin' for a walk, are you?

What's your name?

Come on. You got a name.

What is it?

Kris? Kris, come out now.

Kris.

- My name is Kris. - Well, Kris.

Welcome to my home. Come on. Sit down.

It's all right. Sit right down there.

I'm fixin' up some stew. You hungry?

- Yes. Thank you. - Oh, good. It's purt near done.

It's nice havin' company.

We could be friends. Okay?

All right.

Hello?

Thank you.

Hi. Uh, you're Mel. Yeah.

Could we talk to you for just a second, please?

Well, make it a short second. I'm headin' for a tall beer.

According to your dispatcher, you picked up a fare yesterday around 4:00...

at the newsstand on Sixth and Avery.

Could you tell me, is this the girl?

Yeah, that's her.

I nearly ran her down.

The dispatcher says you dropped her at the beach?

- Yeah, finally. - What do you mean, "finally"?

Well, she wouldn't talk. She didn't know where she wanted to go.

So I said, "Should I just drive?" And she nods.

So I keep driving. Goin' by the beach, all of a sudden, she wanted out.

I mean, I think she wanted out. She started to open the door.

- You mean when the cab was moving? - Yeah!

So I hit the brakes, told her the fare... She just stared at me.

"Money," I said. "Money."

She handed me a $50 bill, didn't wait for the change and walked off in the sand.

Could you tell us exactly where you dropped her off?

Uh, about half a mile north of the Sea Crest restaurant.

Did she appear to be injured or hurt in any way?

Nothing you could see, but,

yeah, there was something wrong with her.

Look, I-I gotta go. I hope you find her.

She looked like a lady in big trouble.

Excuse me. Uh, thanks very much.

Yeah. What is it?

Mm-mmm. What's happened to her?

Well, like he says, she's in trouble. Let's go.

It ain't very good, is it?

I like the good stuff, but I-I can't afford it.

Oh, no. It's good.

Really, I appreciate it.

You know something? What?

You're a very nice man.

What do you want?

We were lookin' at the lady's purse.

You see, we sort of come on hard times.

And the lady looks like she could afford to... lend a hand to a brother.

Hey!

Uh, lady,

you wanna keep your lousy purse that bad, you can have it.

Hey, let's go.

Let's go! Wow! You're some kind of woman!

Where'd you learn to fight like that?

What you doin' with that gun?

Hey!

Where you goin'?

Kris, don't cry!

Stay with me!

I'll be your friend!

Where do we start?

Hey. What's the matter?

Look at the scarf that kid's wearing.

Yeah, it looks like the one that Kris was wearing.

Excuse me. We're looking for a friend.

- Yeah? Well, who is it? - We think she came this way.

Haven't seen her.

- You mind telling me something? - It depends.

- Why are you lying? - You got bad manners, lady.

And an impatient nature. That's her scarf you're wearing.

Hey, this is my gun! And I've got an impatient nature too!

- Sabrina, you're not gonna shoot somebody else today? - Hey, easy. Easy!

Hey, look. We didn't do your friend no harm.

As a matter of fact, she kicked the hell out of us. Then she pulled a gun.

- We were just clowning around. - Okay, then where is she?

She's about a mile down the beach. She's with some old man in a tent.

- Gimme your wallet. - Is this a stickup?

Your wallet!

Joe Hicks, Alvarado Street.

If you're lying to us, or you've hurt our friend, Mr. Hicks,

we'll be seeing you.

Now get out of here.

Let's go.

I got it! I got it!

Hey, look at that.

He said, an old guy in a tent. ♪♪

Yeah, sounds like he got out of the tent and into the bottle. Let's see.

You three again!

Well, I'll teach you to mess with me and Kris!

I'll teach you! I'll teach you good!

You three fellas...

You scared away my friend, Kris!

Well, you ain't gonna scare me! Okay, drop it, drop it.

Drop it. Ooh. Wha...

What you do to him? I didn't touch him! Whoo!

- I think it was the wine. - Did I hear him mention Kris's name?

Yeah, but we're gonna have to wake him up before we can talk to him.

Wonder how long that's gonna take?

Well, from the number of bottles, I'd say it'll be a while.

Hello there. Hello.

How long you been sitting there?

- I don't know. - You don't know?

- A while. - Are you all right?

- I think so. - What's your name?

Kris. Kris.

Nice name. What's your last name?

Kris what?

- I don't know. - What's going on?

We've got food over there. Something to drink. Would you like to join us?

Good. Come on.

Hello?

Who?

Oh, yes, Mr. Burton. H-How are you?

I'm fine. You asked me to call you about your friend...

What's her name? Kris?

- Your answering service gave me this number. - Do you have anything?

I might. Maybe we should talk.

Uh, I can't hear you. This is a bad connection.

It seems that we've got a bad connection.

Where are you at? I'll meet you there.

Uh, we're at the beach. We're going to a restaurant to, uh, sober up a friend.

The Sea Crest. Do you know where it is?

I think I do.

I'm at my apartment in Santa Monica.

- I'll be there in 15 minutes. - Okay. Bye.

Feelin' any better? No, I'm not feeling any better!

I feel better when I'm drunk!

How come you people don't understand that?

Well, we're trying to. Jimmy, where did you get the gun?

A lady gave it to me.

Uh, tell me something.

Was this the lady?

That's her! That's Kris!

Well, Kris! I see you're making progress.

Hello. Hi. Hi.

Would you like some coffee? Yeah, thanks.

You said you had something for me? Well, it's not much.

I... I talked to this woman...

who thought she saw your friend walking away...

from the restaurant around 5:00.

Oh, well, we already found out that she took a cab here to the beach.

She apparently spent some time with this gentleman.

- Oh. - I liked Kris. We could've been friends.

Jimmy, why did you have Kris's gun?

Well, there was these three dang young fools come by,

and they tried to get at her purse.

She had a fight with 'em.

Then she pulled out this gun.

- Was she hurt in this fight? - No!

After she run 'em off, though,

- she started into crying. - She started crying?

Yes, she started to crying,

and she dropped the gun.

- And then she wandered off. - Which way'd she go?

- Down. - Down?

Down the beach!

You mean, she-she went... she went south.

Yeah, south.

Looks like you're doing all right without any help from me.

I've got a, uh, meeting to go to.

Oh, I appreciate your coming.

There aren't many people who would go out of their way for total strangers.

You're a very nice man. I guess...

we gotta just do what we have to, huh? Hmm.

- Maybe I'll call you later and see how you're doing. - That would be fine.

Okay. So long.

Good luck. Thank you.

Hi. I just talked to Charlie.

He's been trying to get some more details on the killing at the restaurant.

Anyone know why the man was killed?

Robbery, I guess, was the motive.

He was carrying the week's receipts to the bank for deposit.

Do the police have any leads? No, nothing yet.

But there was an incident about a week ago when the owner, Jarvis,

got in a beef with a patron who made some threats.

Charlie's gonna check and see if he can get more details on that too.

Did you, uh, get anything out of him? Oh, yeah, he saw her.

She had a fight with those three guys that we ran into.

He says she headed south. Well, then I guess we head south.

You want a ride home, Jimmy?

Well, you ain't gonna leave me here surrounded by all this coffee, are you?

Hello. It's Charlie.

The police found out who it was that got into that argument...

with Jarvis, the restaurant owner.

- They sent over a copy of his file. - He has a police record?

Nothing major... creating a disturbance in a public place,

one assault and battery charge... dropped.

Apparently he's a rather ill-tempered fellow.

- Well, have they questioned him? - They will when they find him.

You mean, he's disappeared?

Well, I don't know if he's disappeared.

He wasn't at his apartment in Santa Monica a few minutes ago.

Wait a minute, Charlie. You said his apartment's in Santa Monica?

- Mm-hmm. Why? - Did you get this man's name?

Uh, yes. Burton... Ted Burton.

- Are you sure? - Yes. Why?

Charlie, Ted Burton is the man I told you we met...

at Jarvis's restaurant... The one who's been helping us.

That coincidence disturbs me, Kelly.

It scares the daylights out of me,

especially since 15 minutes ago Burton was with us,

- and he knows where Kris was last headed. - Where are you now?

We're just leaving the restaurant. Maybe you could call the police...

and have them put out an A.P.B. on Burton.

Consider it done. His license, in case you happen to see him, is 108 EMU.

108 EMU. Okay, we'll get back to you, Charlie.

Listen, uh, Jimmy. Would you mind, uh, grabbin' a cab?

That should cover the fare with a bit to spare, okay?

I know right where to get one,

♪♪

♪♪

♪♪

Medium-well okay?

What? Medium-well all right?

Oh, thanks.

Kris, I know you're in trouble. I don't know what kind,

but I'd like to help...

if I can. I'm supposed to meet somebody.

Some friends, I think. Who are these friends?

I don't know, Tommy. Tommy?

I'm not Tommy. My name's Brad.

I'm sorry.

Tommy was somebody I knew in college.

We were very good friends.

You look like him.

College. But where have you been lately?

I think I've been in some angry places.

What do you mean, "angry places"?

I don't know.

I'm not feeling very well. I'm sort of...

I feel sort of tired. I think I should go.

So who's stopping you?

I mean, who invited you anyway?

I did.

No, really, I-I think I should go. You don't have to leave.

I think this is another angry place.

Kris, you don't have to leave. My friends are waiting for me.

You don't even remember who they are.

Well, I think I'm beginning to.

Can I drive you somewhere?

It's okay. Actually, I have some thinking to do.

Thank you. Good-bye.

Bye-bye.

Hold it!

Hey, I... Let me have that, Kris.

- Okay, but don't forget tomorrow... the office, 10:00. - 10:00.

Yeah, maybe then afterwards we'll go out to the beach, huh?

Hey, wait. Ho-Hold it, Bos. Pull over.

108 EMU. That's Burton's car.

Kris! Come on. Let's go.

Hey!

Stop!

Oh, Kelly! Are you all right?

What happened? Bree! Oh!

Oh, I'm so glad to see ya!

Well, Angels, the police have booked Burton for murder.

And, Kris, they're ready to hear your statement...

whenever you're ready to give it.

I'm ready now, Charlie. Good.

And everything is clear again, huh?

I guess so. "I guess so"?

Well, that worries me a little. Maybe you need

a couple of days' rest or a complete physical.

No, Bosley. All the details are clear.

It's just that...

Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Just what?

I don't know.

Well, when I was wandering around out there,

I kept remembering my childhood.

How was it?

It was nice.

It was sort of peaceful.

I liked remembering it.

I'd like to go back, but I guess I can't, can I?

No, Kris. You can't.

But for what it's worth, you're loved here...

a lot.

A lot.

Well, it was an interesting trip.

But it's nice to be home.

- To coming home. - To coming home.

Thanks.
