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.

Uncle Jake?

Uncle Jake, it's not safe here.

I talked to Mr. Townsend.

He is the same Charlie Townsend you used to know.

I don't care if he is. His agency's one of the best, and he wants to help you.

I can look after myself.

But somebody's already tried to kill you once.

Not somebody... Renaldi.

All right. You go get Charlie.

Tell him somebody tried to bump me off... twice.

Jake Garfield.

Yes, I remember his trial.

It was a sensation... lasted five months, right in the middle of the depression.

But prohibition was over by the time they arrested Jake.

What did they get him for? Tax evasion, conspiracy, everything.

Since he was so well known, they wanted to make an example of him.

But before he was sent up, he managed to sink

all he owned into blue-chip stocks and bonds.

When he was finally released this year, he was, well, rich.

- Looks like crime does pay. - Not really, Kelly.

You see, Jake was a young man when he was sentenced.

He spent what amounts to a lifetime in prison.

And while he was there, the world passed him by.

He hasn't been able, or maybe he hasn't wanted, to...

To live in the modern world, so he doesn't.

Well, he's still living on that old estate he built back in the '20s.

From what I hear, that house is something to behold.

Look, do you have any idea why somebody would want to kill him now?

Uncle Jake's wife, my Aunt Rosemary, was murdered 44 years ago.

Her murderer was never caught.

Jake has always been convinced that an underworld rival,

Lawrence Renaldi, was behind Rosemary's death.

Renaldi is still in town.

He's running an apparently legitimate bottling company.

And Jake's out to bring him to justice once and for all.

And since Jake has been pressing to reopen the case,

there have been two attempts made on his life.

And you want us to find out who's trying to kill him.

And to protect him. Whatever he once was, he's... he's an old man now.

Well, if these attempts on your uncle's life have anything to do with Rosemary,

then that means we have to find out who killed her.

That's right, Angels. And after 44 years,

that trail's bound to be a little cold.

Well, we're going to have to have somebody out at the estate to be a bodyguard.

Oh, I've arranged for Kris to be Uncle Jake's houseguest.

Oh, well, uh, we were planning on putting Kelly inside the house.

- No. It... It better be Kris. - Why?

Uncle Jake...

likes blondes.

I'll pick you up around 3:00.

Well, I could've worn a wig.

Well, I guess the first thing we better do is check out Mr. Renaldi, huh?

Really, it's all right. I assure you it's all right. You can't go in there!

- Ah, Mr. Renaldi. - Hey, who are you? Get out of here!

9480 Ponderosa Drive.

That's all right, Miss Daniels.

I'm Sabrina Duncan.

- You're the writer who called earlier, huh? - Uh, yes, sir. That's right.

I told you then, I don't give interviews. Oh, no, no.

No, sir, I know. And I'm not a reporter.

You see, I'm, uh... I'm doing a book on the prohibition,

and I was hoping that you could give me some insight.

I also don't give insights.

9480, uh, Ponderosa Drive.

- Means nothing to me. - Well, it should.

I mean, it's where you get your clear, mountain-stream water...

that you put in your Rocky Canyon Beer.

- Really? - Of course, uh,

it isn't really "clear, mountain-stream water."

It's city water. It's filtered and...

Hey, who are you?

Sabrina Duncan, sir.

And I really do need some help on my book.

Prohibition. Uh, you know, bathtub gin, bootleggers, voh-doh-dee-oh-doh.

All that.

Those days are long gone.

Nobody remembers or even cares.

I care. Now, sir, you were, uh... you were never convicted, were you?

You were tried a few times though, huh?

Where do you get your information?

Ex-bootleggers like yourself.

Oh, Jake Garfield had some great stories.

Oh, I'll bet he did.

Like I tried to kill him and got the little woman by mistake. Did he tell you that?

Well, look, everybody knew that you and Jake were enemies.

I mean, he was trying to take over your territory.

He could've had it for the asking.

It was 1935. Prohibition was out.

I was smart. I went straight.

He didn't. He got caught.

They gave him 40 years in the pen, and he can't forgive me for that.

Sir, who do you think killed Rosemary?

Hmm!

Who else? Jake.

Jake? What for?

No.

It's better not to speak ill of the dead.

But Rosemary was no treasure. That's all I'm gonna say.

Why can't that old lunatic let things rest?

He can't go around telling people I killed her.

And if I have to, I'll stop him.

Somebody's already tried, sir... twice.

I, uh... I better put the car away.

Oh.

Hello. I'm Kris Munroe. Mr. Garfield invited me.

Is something wrong?

I am Mrs. Himbeere, the housekeeper.

Bitte.

Mr. Garfield has asked me to say that the house is yours.

There are, however, certain rules of the house.

You are not to go to the building above the garage.

It is locked. The building is unsafe.

Do you understand? Got it.

I'll take your bags to your room.

Mr. Garfield will join you shortly.

Thank you.

No going to "ze" room over "ze" garage.

"Ze" chauffeur is really very nice...

except when "zere" is a full moon.

Uncle Jake? Are you okay?

- It came from up on the hill. - Did you see anyone?

No. I was too far away. They'd be long gone by now.

Rosemary?

I am sorry, Miss...

Miss Munroe, right?

Kris. Kris Munroe.

I was shook up pretty good there.

Then I saw you, and...

it was like all those years just... rolled away, and...

she was back here again.

Well, it was kind of a shock for me too.

My nephew told me that you looked a little like Rosemary,

but I wasn't prepared for just how much.

Do you think that Lawrence Renaldi is responsible for all this, Jake?

Oh, I'm sure of it.

It was me he was after the night that Rosemary was killed. Now, I'm sure of that.

What's the matter with the drink?

Too much soda? You always liked it...

No, no, it's fine.

Tell me about the night that Rosemary died.

Oh, uh, yeah.

We were, uh... We were having a party.

It was Rosemary's birthday.

Rosemary! Rosemary!

Where you goin', babe? This party's for you.

Oh, Jake, I'm so tired from all this dancing and talking.

- I want to go for a little drive, get some fresh air. - Belding, what do you want?

Mrs. Garfield asked me to drive her, sir.

Oh, please, Jake. I don't want to drive myself.

All right. Just don't be gone long.

How do you like the rocks, babe?

Just what I wanted.

I won't be gone long.

I don't remember anything more about that night.

I lay awake thousands of nights in that stinking prison trying to,

but nothing every came.

The prison doctor said it was, uh...

It was just too painful or something like that, I guess.

Well, if you loved her that much, it's understandable.

I never stopped loving her.

Want another drink?

Oh, no. Actually, I'd like to get ready for dinner.

Oh, sure. Sure.

Come on. I'll show you myself.

Oh.

Oh, it's breathtaking.

It was Rosemary's room.

I had everything restored.

I wanted everything to be exactly the same way that it was.

And now it is.

Would, uh...

Would you, uh, humor an old man?

Would you wear this dress to dinner?

Rosemary loved it.

If you'd like.

Oh, uh, please, sit.

May I?

You have wonderful hair.

Done up like this, it's even more beautiful.

I don't know. I... Please.

It'd do me a world of good.

One question.

Who am I, Jake?

I haven't felt as alive as this for years,

Kris.

Hey, you get dressed, and I'll, uh...

I'll show you around before dinner.

"Fairly Enterprises."

Why does that sound so familiar to me?

Well, it should. Do you remember the Sheldon case?

Yeah. Well, Fairly Enterprises is a front for the mob.

Back in the bad old days, the owner used to

be a member of a family headed by guess who.

Renaldi. Mm-hmm.

Well, so much for his nice, new image.

Oh, Renaldi is mobbed up. He always has been.

He probably makes this Rocky Canyon Beer in a bathtub.

Well, no wonder he didn't want any publicity.

Even if he didn't kill Rosemary, Jake's charges could dig up the past,

and that could be pretty embarrassing for a respectable businessman. Hmm!

And as far as the mob is concerned,

Renaldi would be as disposable as one of his bottles.

Oh.

Hello.

Oh, hi, Kelly.

Good. Where?

Well, good work. Uh, look, um,

would you do me a favor?

Find out how they make the blood spurt.

Okay.

Well, Kelly has found the detective...

who was the investigator of Rosemary's murder.

What do you mean, how do "they make the blood spurt"?

Oh, uh, well, he's, uh, retired now.

He works as a technical adviser on gangster films.

I've always wanted to know how they make that blood spurt.

- Bosley, you are disgusting. - Yeah, I know it.

Lieutenant Sanders?

Huh? Just "mister" now.

I wanted to talk to you about Jake Garfield.

Well, he was no different than the rest.

You know, he came to see me about a month ago,

all hot under the collar about Larry Renaldi.

Why did he come to see you?

Because he still thinks it's 1935, that's why.

He wanted me to reopen my investigation...

after 44 years.

And me living the last 20 of them the life of glamour...

and sophistication in the movies.

Oh, he offered to pay me,

pay me a lot, but I turned him down.

Because it was so long ago?

No, not just that.

You know what the official motive was listed as?

The report I read said "robbery."

Yeah. See, when they found the bodies in the car...

Her and the chauffeur... There was one thing missing...

The diamond necklace.

Garfield had given it to her for a birthday present.

Half a million it cost... then.

Well, you can guess what it would cost now.

It was never found? Nope.

And nobody tried to fence it, not ever.

I told them it wasn't robbery.

The murderer thought Jake was in the car.

You mean Renaldi?

Yeah, he hated him enough.

Had this big territorial fight.

You know, Renaldi put out a bounty on Jake's head...

$5,000.

Oh, that was a lot in those days.

So what you're saying is Renaldi hired someone,

and the murderer made a mistake?

Hey, you're smart. Yeah, mistakes happen.

Guy shoots up the car. There's a crash, lot of noise.

He gets scared, takes it on the lam without checking inside.

Only that's not the way it happened.

What's your theory? No theory. I know.

Jake did it.

I just couldn't prove it.

Well, why would Jake kill his wife?

You know, when they found the bodies,

they were both in the front seat.

The chauffeur and the lady of the manor.

Things weren't so lovey-dovey in that big house the way old Jake likes to tell it.

Right. Thank you, Mr. Sanders.

It usually happens with people like that, you know.

- I beg your pardon? - Husband kills wife, wife kills husband.

Love and hate.

Kelly, take it from me. In 30 years experience,

it almost always turns out to be something that simple in the end.

Thank you.

What do you think you're doing?

I guess I could ask you the same question.

What?

I found this in your desk in the library.

Look familiar?

You have no right going through my personal papers.

And you have no right going through my personal life.

You knew I look like Rosemary. That's why you brought me here.

I...

I'm sorry.

Uncle Jake's remorse is eating him away inside.

When I saw your picture in the paper, I...

I thought your being here could help him.

You used me, and you lied to Charlie.

- I was afraid Charlie wouldn't let you come. - I could still leave.

Why did you dress up like that?

Jake asked me to.

Then you feel it too... his need.

He doesn't remember anything about the night Rosemary died.

I know.

I just thought maybe if I helped him bring his

memory back it would ease some of the pressure.

Yes.

A-A-And he still needs your protection too.

Will you stay? For Jake.

I want to ask you some questions, and I want some straight answers.

What's in the room above the garage?

Just junk. It's been closed for years.

Why?

I don't know. Jake wants it that way.

Now you give me a straight answer.

You think I'm trying to kill him, don't you?

I didn't say that.

But since you asked...

Who inherits all this when he's gone?

Now, that's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.

Why would somebody want to kill you? I don't know.

But I'll tell you one thing. I am a dead ringer for Rosemary.

We look so much alike, it is really frightening. And Tim knew that.

This whole thing sounds eerie.

I just feel that as Rosemary, I might help Jake get his memory back.

He remembers the night that she was killed, up to a point.

After that, he blanks out.

What if Jake killed his wife? That's Renaldi's story.

And Sanders, the detective that worked on the case, thinks so.

Yeah.

I've been getting to know Jake,

and I know how he felt about Rosemary.

- I can't believe he'd kill her. - Now wait a minute, wait a minute.

Let's just think this thing out, all right?

Now, suppose Jake did kill Rosemary.

You're a double for her. You'll have to be sure he knows exactly who you are.

I'll be careful.

I gotta go back.

Thanks.

Mrs. Himbeere?

Please, don't go. I want to talk to you.

I have rooms to clean.

Do you think my being here is bad for Mr. Garfield?

No. I've never seen him look happier since he came home.

But he's still upset.

About the old memories.

About her.

She was bad for him.

Even now she still makes trouble for him in the mind.

But I want to help him. Do you believe that?

Ja. Maybe.

Will you answer some questions?

For Jake?

The room over the garage... It's the chauffeur's room, isn't it?

Ja. Belding.

If you want to help Mr. Garfield,

it's best you not stir up these old memories.

But we can't help him if we hide the truth.

You don't understand.

I saw him.

That night.

I saw him take the gun.

Get out of here. I have to make a phone call.

Elsa? Have you seen my wife?

Rosemary!

Where you goin'? This party's for you, babe.

I'm going for a little drive. I need some air, Jake.

- Is he driving you? - What if he is?

- Mrs. Garfield asked me to... - You shut your trap!

Look, what are you gettin' so sore about?

What about your guests?

They won't even know I'm gone.

Look, I just want to go for a little ride, that's all. I can't drive myself.

Well, maybe you better leave the rocks here.

Now, what good's a present if I can't wear it when I want to?

I'm going for a little ride, and you're not gonna stop me. So don't pretend you are.

I never tell the police about the gun.

She was no good.

And Mr. Garfield killed her.

Now she haunts him.

You see why you should leave the past alone?

There is no help for Mr. Garfield in the past.

I want you to pack up and leave right now.

I can't. Look, it's getting out of hand.

I can't control him.

Well, then why don't you tell me the real reason you brought me here?

Okay.

You're right. I did use you.

It's the necklace...

Rosemary's diamond necklace.

What about it?

You want to know who inherits all this?

I do.

All the maintenance costs, repair bills, debts.

The money's all gone. He squandered most of it redecorating this house...

before he asked me to come here and run things.

I've been treading water ever since, trying to keep us out of bankruptcy.

You thought the necklace would save you?

It could be worth close to four million dollars today.

Without it, Jake's gonna be out in the cold in a very short time.

And you too.

I've been there. I can take it. It would kill him.

You thought I'd bring back his memory.

It was the only chance. But now it's getting too dangerous.

He thinks you are Rosemary.

I don't want to see you get hurt.

You think he killed her too.

What's going on here?

Uh, there's no problem.

Just a little difference of opinion, that's all.

Would you mind leaving us alone? I'd like to speak with him.

Look, Jake, I... Go back to your guests!

I've heard of you, Mr. Bellechek. I think we have mutual friends.

And those friends back east asked me to talk to you.

You see, they're worried about this business with Jake Garfield.

You tell them Jake Garfield is crazy. He's nuts!

Nevertheless, some bad publicity could come of this.

So our friends hope that you realize...

if anything unfortunate should happen to Jake...

that the finger of guilt is going to tap you on the shoulder.

You tell our friends I got the message.

I can assure them then that the matter is closed, completely forgotten?

Okay.

You can assure them. I'm out of it.

Fine.

Well, it's a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Renaldi.

Oh, uh, you know,

I should make it out here more often.

- Climate's wonderful. - Oh, drop in anytime.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, this is Renaldi.

We have to meet.

Oh, I shook Renaldi up. I'm sure of it.

He's tough, but he thought I was from the syndicate, and he's not going to buck them.

If he's the one who's after Jake, he's gonna think twice before trying again.

Okay, so you've probably taken care of Renaldi,

but I still think Jake is our prime suspect in Rosemary's murder.

Which means Kris is still very much in danger.

That should be her.

Hello?

Oh, hello, Captain. What?

Are you sure? No mistake on the I.D.?

Yes, fine. Thank you very much.

That was Central Division.

The police found Renaldi in a car parked near his office... shot to death.

Well, that leaves one suspect... and it's Jake.

♪♪

Is this all for me? Just for you.

♪♪ What's the occasion?

Just wanted to surprise you. Did I?

Yeah. You're full of surprises.

I've got another little surprise for you.

- What's that? - In your room upstairs.

In a few minutes we'll slip out.

Nobody'll miss us.

What's the surprise?

It's on your dressing table.

Open it.

How do you like the rocks, babe?

Let's go down and show the guests.

Uh, Jake, I think I'd like to freshen up a little bit.

Okay.

Uh, don't take too long.

Hmm!

Bosley? Kris, we've been waiting for your call.

I couldn't get away from Jake. Listen,

you're not going to believe what's happening.

It's... It's like a time machine around here.

Jake's reliving the night of Rosemary's death.

- Wait a minute. - Bosley, it's happening all over again.

- Listen to me. - A few minutes ago Jake gave me a present.

- Any guesses? - Yeah, a diamond necklace.

I'm wearing it right now.

From the looks of the metal box it came in, it's been buried a long time.

So anyway, that means if Renaldi did kill Rosemary, he didn't get the necklace.

Kris, listen. I've been trying to tell you, Renaldi is dead.

He's been shot to death earlier tonight.

So if Jake had the necklace...

Then Jake did it.

Jake killed both of them.

Kris, put down the phone and get out of there now!

If Jake's reliving that night, then he thinks you're Rosemary.

Okay, I'll get Tim. I'll have him take me to the bottom of the road.

- I'll meet you there. - Good! Do it now!

The necklace! Where did you get it?

I'll explain later. I have to get out of here. Can you drive me?

The car's outside.

Rosemary!

Where you goin'? This party's for you, babe.

I have to go, Jake. Don't try to stop me.

Is he driving you?

- She asked me to. - Shut your trap!

What about your guests?

Good-bye, Jake.

Mr. Garfield, no!

No!

Wait a minute.

It's still happening. Huh?

If I get in that car,

I'm repeating Rosemary's last known act on the night that she was murdered.

What?

Oh, no, you don't.

You thought you were going to play me for a sucker, huh?

- Get away from that car! - Uncle Jake, it's me, Tim!

You cheap grifter. You weren't coming back, were you?

That's right, Jake, honey. We weren't coming back.

And I wanna thank you for the necklace too.

'Cause it's going to get me just what I want... as far away from you as I can get!

Hey, baby, now just a minute.

Now, ain't that the limit? I should have known you didn't have any guts.

Let's get out of here!

Come on, Kris. Let's get out of here.

So that's what happened. He killed them when they were trying to leave.

But they weren't killed at the house. They were killed...

Out of the car. This side.

Where's Garfield?

I remember you. You're the ex-cop Uncle Jake tried to hire.

Ironic, isn't it?

Asked twice to investigate a murder that you committed.

Oh, you're smart.

You're smarter than the other Rosemary.

Yeah, I was supposed to kill Garfield.

- Why? - For 5,000 bucks...

Renaldi's bounty.

Well, it was a lot of money in those days.

When Renaldi found out that Jake was free, he hired you again.

Yeah.

Told me I had to finish the job I bungled 44 years ago.

Then you killed Renaldi.

Why? Because he wasn't gonna pay me!

He tried to call it off. He wasn't going to give me a cent.

The cheap bum. All that money. He deserved to die!

They all did! Even Rosemary?

Well, that... that was a mistake.

I-I-I couldn't see who was in the car. It was dark.

Where did Jake find you?

I couldn't believe my eyes.

I should have taken care of you when I had the chance.

What are you gonna do?

I...

I gotta kill both of you and... go back for Garfield.

Forty-four years.

Why... couldn't you have stayed dead?

What did you hit him with?

The past.
