Original subtitles

Once upon a time

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

One in Los Angeles.

One in San Francisco.

The other in Boston.

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.

Look, there she is.

That looks like so much fun. Are we gonna do that?

Yeah. She'll ride that wave all the way into the beach.

Well, maybe not all the way into the beach.

Oh, dear. Oh, she's okay. Come on.

Hi. Hey.

Are you all right?

Oh, I think so.

Ha. I'll tell you what.

That ocean looks a whole lot better than it tastes.

I've learned one important thing about surfing so far.

What's that?

When you fall in, do not scream.

You're absolutely right.

Hey, that sounds like the phone.

Hold this.

Well... Do I look like a surfer?

Yeah. Do I really?

Yeah. Now carry it like a surfer.

Whoo.

Hello.

Kris?

Charlie? You sound like you're calling from the moon.

Need you... You, Kelly and Tiffany...

Well, they're here. You know that.

Where are you?

Island off Mexico. Take a plane to Mazatlán.

See Wilson. Hotel. He'll...

What? I didn't get all that.

Charlie?

Bosley, he's on his way.

Okay, we can be there by morning.

Hurry.

Uh, can't you tell me what...?

Kris, what's wrong?

Charlie's in trouble.

We're going to Mexico, right now.

Hello.

Hello, Bosley. Good evening, Angels.

Uh, Charlie, the Angels aren't here.

Didn't you tell them to be here tonight?

I tried to tell them, but I couldn't reach them.

Not any of them.

That's strange.

They didn't leave a number where they could be reached?

No, this is the first time

anything like this has ever happened.

Yes, that's what worries me.

Now, I talked to Kris yesterday. She said that

they were planning on spending the day at the beach

because she was gonna teach Tiffany how to surf.

Bosley, I don't like this.

Look, Charlie, I will find them.

Count on me.

Come to my house the minute you hear anything.

Right.

Look, uh, Charlie, uh,

what do you think could be so important

as to make them go off like this and not even tell us?

Nothing good, Bosley. Nothing good.

You're Mr. Wilson?

That's me.

Is the boat ready? Just like you said.

How long do you think it'll take us to get there?

Oh, 30 minutes. Maybe an hour.

We'll take the 30 minutes.

The man you took out there last night,

what did he look like?

Nothing special. Kind of soft.

City type, but nice enough.

Bosley.

The day before, you took Mr. Townsend

and a woman out there.

Now, who lives on that island that they'd be going to see?

Heh. Beats me.

Was this woman attractive?

Almost as pretty as you three.

Figures.

How do we know that this is really Charlie?

Why else would Bosley be here?

Still... KELLY: Tiffany's right.

Mr. Wilson, did Charles Townsend show you any identification?

Uh, yeah, he showed me his passport, and uh,

he gave me this.

Hm.

Looks like we go for a boat ride.

Mr. Wilson, uh, just give us a minute.

We'll change and be right with you.

There it is, Diablo Island.

Not exactly Maui, is it?

Gives you the creeps just looking at it.

Hey, could you go a little faster?

Relax, sweetheart. We're as good as on the beach.

Welcome to Diablo Island, ladies.

When you dropped the other party off,

did you see which way they went?

Sure. That trail right over there,

goes up to the top of the bluff.

What's on top of the bluff?

Never been up there.

Must be pretty wild, I guess.

Wild?

Overgrown. Heavy brush.

Almost jungle.

You mind waiting while we take just a little look around?

Depends on how long.

I have a charter first thing in the morning.

I gotta get the boat ready.

I am a working man, you know.

Well, how much of your time will $100 buy?

You'd be surprised.

Okay.

Want me to get your bags?

No, just leave them. I said we'd be back.

Thank you.

Phew.

Think we should wait for the elevator?

Well, let's go.

Oh, no.

Kris, Kelly, look!

Go.

Wait!

Stop!

Give us our bags! Hey!

Wait for us!

Wait! Wait for us!

Sorry, sweetheart.

Merchandise delivered as ordered.

Wait for us!

You okay?

Boy, $100 sure doesn't buy what it used to.

Heh. He said you'd be surprised.

I feel so stupid. I left my gun in my suitcase.

Don't feel badly, so did I.

Mine's in my purse.

Oh, great.

Which is now in the boat.

Not so great.

No.

I could have sworn that was Charlie's voice on the phone.

Well, no one's blaming you, Kris.

Maybe it was Charlie.

It wasn't.

I should have known it wasn't.

Oh, Kris, stop it. This isn't helping anything.

I'm sorry, you're right.

Well, what are we gonna do now?

For starters, I think we should get up there

and take a look around. What do you think?

You two go on.

I'll find some wood and start a fire.

We must be in the shipping lanes.

Somebody's gonna find us.

Okay, but we're going to meet right back here.

Don't be gone too long.

It's going to be dark in a couple of hours.

Don't you worry. We'll be real careful.

Okay.

Kris.

You okay?

I'm okay.

I'll see you later.

Well, where there are trails, there must be people.

Well, if they use this trail,

they must be a lost tribe of mountain climbers.

Oh.

Well, I wasn't expecting Beverly Hills mind you,

but this is nowhere.

Yeah, real Robinson Crusoe time.

So where's our man Friday?

No such luck, honey, it's Saturday.

Let's go for a walk.

I think I liked it better when I thought we were alone.

Tiff, what was that?

Do we want to know?

I don't think so.

Maybe we scared it away, huh?

I hope so.

Why don't we go see if Kelly is all right, all right?

Good idea.

There were signs of hurried packing at all of their places.

Uh, just overnight bags,

so, uh, they didn't plan to be gone very long.

And Kris' car was the only one that was missing.

So I have run a check on all of the bus stations,

the cab companies, the car-rental agencies,

the airports, and there's not a sign of them.

Sounds as if they left of their own free will.

Well, there was no sign of any kind of physical coercion.

Yes?

Charles Townsend?

Speaking.

How many Angels can you hide

on the head of a pin?

Who is this?

Has it really been that long?

I know it seems like a lifetime to me,

but then, 11 years in prison pass so slowly.

Look, I'm getting tired of this.

Three people stood between me and a fortune.

We went on a family safari together.

There was a tragic hunting accident.

The money was mine.

Now do you remember?

Malcolm Case.

How nice.

You took what was mine,

now I've taken something of yours.

What exactly do you want?

I want your head on my trophy wall.

And in order to assure that you come to me,

I've taken three of the people that you care most about.

Bosley, the Angels.

I want you, Townsend.

I'll call you tomorrow,

then you'll have one day to surrender yourself.

Then I'm going to start sending your Angels to heaven,

one a day, until they're all gone.

Do you mind if I go first?

Kris. What?

Ah. Come here.

Look at that.

Oh, she's beautiful.

He's beautiful.

Those are the ladies.

Doesn't seem fair, does it?

No, it sure doesn't.

Come on. Let's go find Kelly.

If she heard that guy, she's probably just as scared

as we were. Right.

Kris.

What do you think?

It's pretty fresh.

It's still warm.

Now we know we're not alone.

Yeah, somehow I don't find that very comforting.

No.

Neither do I.

Come on. Let's go.

Kelly?

Am I glad to see you two. Did you hear that...?

Relax. It was a peacock.

A peacock? But it sounded like...

It sounded like somebody yelling for help.

That's what I thought it was. Are you sure?

Yeah, we saw him.

And his harem.

Heh. Am I glad to see you two.

You said that already.

But it's true.

Found it right up there on the bluff.

Ah. So...

peacocks aren't the only animal on this island.

Come to think of it,

what are the peacocks doing here in the first place?

They're not indigenous to this latitude.

They aren't even indigenous to this hemisphere.

Somebody had to bring them here.

Question is: Who?

Think this could be the "who?"

And why?

I mean, this doesn't make any sense.

What are we doin' here?

Listen, if you've got a joke,

this is the time to tell it.

No, I just got this great picture in my mind

of me walking through the quad back in college.

Yours truly in the ivy-covered halls of academia.

I wanted adventure, excitement.

I got it.

Here we are on a tropical island.

Balmy breezes whisper through the night.

And colorful, exotic animals abound, everywhere.

Was that a peacock?

I'd like to hope so.

I don't know if I should say this.

I haven't known you two very long,

but I'd like you both to know

that you're both as important to me as my own family.

And I'm awful glad you're here.

'Cause if you weren't,

I don't think I could handle this by myself.

I'm scared.

Whoever brought us here

probably has more in store for us than peacocks.

I think we should get some rest, so we're ready for them.

I'll take the first watch.

First, I think we'd better get some more firewood.

There's a big piece of wood down the beach.

Help me dig it out, okay?

Sure. KRIS: Okay.

Kris. KRIS: Yeah?

Oh, I think it's been here a long time.

All right, one... - two, three.

Almost up. TIFFANY: Pull.

It's a little bit damp. Do you think it's gonna burn?

Well, we could try it.

Oh, no.

What's wrong?

Uh-oh.

I think we'd better get back to the fire.

Yeah, let's go.

See, just some, uh, falling rocks.

Yeah, but what made 'em fall?

Gravity.

I hope.

Let's go.

Case escaped from prison over six months ago.

Probably took him that long to set up this caper.

Did he get out alone?

Unfortunately not.

He took two other lifers with him.

A, uh, Burdette and Wilson.

Burdette.

See, he was a hunting guide for Case on that last safari.

Then Case would be most at home in Africa.

No, he wouldn't have had enough time

to get the Angels there.

Anything else?

As a matter of fact, there is.

Uh, the Case-family empire

has holdings all over the world.

I doubt if the surviving members of the family

would be too eager to help,

given his past record of killing them off.

Yeah, you got a point there.

What about this other man, Wilson?

Well, Wilson may have worked for Case at one time, uh,

as a skipper on one of his boats.

That shouldn't be too hard to verify.

Yes?

Good morning.

I hope you had a good night's sleep.

All right, Case, I want proof

that the Angels are with you and unharmed.

I thought you knew me better than that.

I certainly don't have them here.

That wouldn't be sporting.

It would spoil the hunt.

Where do you want me to come?

It's not that easy, Townsend.

Haven't you recognized the game yet?

You have to find me.

If you don't by the end of the day,

I'll hunt down and kill the first one tomorrow.

The next day a second, and then the third.

Case, if you want me to come to you,

you'll have to tell me where you are.

You don't believe I'm serious, do you?

All right, I'll prove it to you.

The first one dies today.

Case, wait.

Bosley, the man's insane.

I don't know if we can save them.

Charlie, he won't just shoot them.

He told us.

He has to hunt them down first.

But they're more resourceful than he thinks.

Which way did they go?

Inland, where else?

Even when they know what's waiting for them, huh?

So they do the unexpected.

That's what makes the hunt really exhilarating.

Either that, or they saw Burdette watching 'em.

Nobody saw me.

Well, it doesn't matter.

In fact, it'll make the hunting a little more interesting.

Burdette and I will track them on foot.

You take the jeep, circle, herd them toward us.

Well, so we'll see if prison has blunted our tracking skills.

I have a feeling it'll be just like the old days.

Oh, better, my friend. Much better.

How far do you think we've come?

About three or four miles.

With all this vegetation,

there's gotta be water somewhere.

Which is exactly where we're gonna find the big cats.

You had to remind me?

Does anybody notice that we've been going uphill

for the last few minutes?

Good. Maybe we can get to some high ground.

We'll get a look at this place.

Hey, Kris, Tiff, look.

Since you found it,

you deserve the first drink.

Whoo.

All right.

I didn't know water could taste so good.

I didn't know anything could taste so good ever.

Now, that definitely was not a peacock.

Come on. Let's go.

They're headin' straight towards the river.

Good. Heh. Excellent.

I couldn't tell where the sound came from.

Maybe we should go back the way we came.

Wilson, where are you?

I'm by the waterfall.

Good. Then they're trapped.

Drive them toward us.

Which way?

Sounds like there's only one way. That way.

Let's spread out.

Here.

Tiffany! Kris, don't.

What are you doing? We've got to help her.

We can't help her by getting caught.

Go. Oh.

Come on, Kris.

Come on.

We're never gonna be able to outrun him.

Over there. Come on. Go.

Case?

Where are they?

I don't know.

The trail came to a fork, and I lost them.

You did what?

It's not my fault.

No, it's mine for bringing you along.

I think I got one of them.

Which one?

Tiffany Welles.

You're sure?

You showed us their pictures, didn't you?

She went in the water.

The river's probably taken her out to sea by now.

Right. Meet me and Burdette at the shack.

I can't wait to give Townsend the news.

I'm on my way.

Who's Case?

Has to be Malcolm Case.

It's before our time.

Bosley told me about him once.

He killed his father, brother, and a cousin

on a safari in Africa.

Charlie proved that he did it?

Yeah, his testimony sent Case and Burdette to prison.

Well, now we know.

Tiffany died because somebody she never even heard of

was trying to get back at Charlie.

Oh, Kris.

Look, I know I'm just angry.

But she didn't even have a chance.

Look, maybe she isn't dead.

If we follow the river, maybe we'll find her.

And that shack they were talkin' about.

Right.

The waterfall ran that way,

so the river must be back over there somewhere.

Come on.

All of a sudden, she was just there.

It was me or her.

I would've preferred to take care of her myself.

But it's getting late. We are on schedule. One is dead.

Just like I promised Townsend.

How do we fight them?

With whatever we've got.

What's that?

Well, we could set traps and snares,

see if we couldn't beat them at their own game.

We can trap them, then, when they're not looking...

Right.

Hi. I think I've got something.

Charlie, just take a look at this.

The receipt on top.

Kris chartered a plane day before yesterday?

Yeah, for Mazatlán.

Case has a house a few miles down the coast.

So, what do you think?

I think you're on to something.

And that's not the only holding the Case family has in Mexico.

They also own an island.

Diablo Island.

Diablo Island? Who lives there?

No one.

But, um... But what?

Well, several years ago,

Case's father set up the island

as a jungle animal preserve.

What kind of jungle animals?

Cats. Big cats.

Call our charter service. Get the same pilot.

I wanna be at Mazatlán as soon as possible.

Yes?

Guess who, Townsend.

I'm waiting.

Not much longer, Case. Good.

Then tomorrow I'll have

some real sport to look forward to.

Townsend and two of his Angels.

Two?

Well, of course. I told you that one would die today.

And I always keep my promises.

Which one?

That's for you to find out when you get here.

Charlie, he's lying.

They're okay.

All of them.

But... what if they're not, Bosley?

I'll call the charter service.

Nice kitty.

Nice kitty.

Nice... kitty.

Nice.

Now, you stay in your space,

and I'll stay in mine.

Okay?

I don't believe this.

A tiger that understands est?

I wish we could have found her body.

Yeah.

Then at least we'd know for sure.

As long as we don't know, there's still hope.

You think these will hold, Kris?

I think so. They should.

Where'd you learn how to do this?

Old movies.

Okay.

Yup.

That should do it.

Okay, they're gonna be coming soon.

Let's go see if we can find the shack.

Wilson, you in position yet?

All ready.

Oh, we're moving too slowly. Better to be cautious.

Why, they don't have guns? Not worried about them.

I'm thinking about the cat. I'll lead.

Look out!

It worked. Sh-sh. He'll hear you.

You're supposed to be dead.

I'm sorry to disappoint you. It's okay.

First time, it happened too fast.

This time,

I'm gonna get a chance to really enjoy it.

Mr. Case, can you hear me?

Yeah, did you spot them?

I did better than that. I got one of them.

And we're right here at the shack.

Good, I'll be right there.

Yes, they were at the hotel.

But they left almost immediately.

Yes, with a man who sounds like Wilson.

Did you find out anything about Diablo Island?

No, I'm afraid not.

And no one seems to know

if there are any cats still out there.

Hm. Is there any place the Angels could take refuge?

Well, the only structure on the island

is a shack that the animal handlers and the vets

used to use for storage.

Oh, and, uh, I understand

that there used to be a shortwave setup there too.

Then the shack is where we start.

Right. I'll be at the pier in 10 minutes.

I thought you said she was dead.

I thought she was.

Then there are two of them out there somewhere.

So there's three of us, and we got guns...

Two of us. They got Burdette.

How? They set a trap.

He walked right into it. There was nothing I could do.

What... What worries me is the possibility

the two of them could link up with Townsend.

Or find our boat.

Yeah, check it out, keep... Keep watch for Townsend,

let me know when you spot him.

Mr. Case. Yeah?

Do me a favor. What?

Save this one for me.

She'll be here.

Case must be inside.

Look at that antenna.

There must be a radio in there.

First things first.

Right. Divide and conquer.

Who said that?

Tiffany would know.

Come on, let's get him.

Want some?

I'll live without it.

Not for long.

John Bosley.

In case you can't speak Spanish,

at this moment your employer and his flunky

are on their way to Diablo Island.

Charlie and Bosley?

All right.

So hopeful.

So hopeless.

Don't you understand, getting Townsend here

is what this is all about.

You mean you used us as bait?

And it worked.

See how the tiger freely rushes to his death.

How close is he?

Should be on the beach in 10 minutes.

Good, let me know when he starts through the surf.

Right.

You are really something, you know that?

Yes. Ha-ha! I know.

Hey!

Looking for me?

Wilson, where are you?

Wilson, where are you?

Wilson, what's going on?

Wilson?!

Wilson?

That was beautiful. Thanks.

Let's give credit where credit's due.

Tarzan movies? Right.

Can you get it? Oof!

Uh-oh. I think I hear the evil white hunter.

Now what would Tarzan do?

He'd run. Come on. Okay.

I think we better split up.

Not yet.

Kris.

Oh. Over here.

Oh.

Take him over... Am I glad to see you two.

You okay? Yeah.

I will be as soon as you untie me.

Here, I'll do it. You call Charlie.

Okay. Okay.

Does it hurt? No.

Hey. What?

If I make this call, we are blowing our best chance

to see what Charlie looks like.

Well, I don't think it'd be right

to let him keep on worrying, Kris.

It really wouldn't be right. Darn it.

Okay. We've waited this long,

I guess we can wait until he's ready.

Hello? This is Diablo Island calling.

Bos, Charlie?

Can you hear me?

Kris, is that you?

Hi, yeah, it's me.

And Kelly and Tiffany.

And Tiffany?

Yes. Everybody's fine.

We got everything under control.

I think. Thank God.

Stay where you are, Angels.

Bosley will be back for you in a few minutes.

Okay, Charlie. We'll see you when we get home.

Tiff?

Hey, wait a second!

Well?

Come on, what did he look like?

You won't believe this.

You won't believe it.

Come on.

I don't know.

You don't know?

All I could see was his back.

What color was his hair?

I don't know. He had on a hat.

So long, Angels!

Oh, no.
