"Angel wanted."

I don't think so, bosley.

But just in case, I'll start Interviewing right away.

K-kelly? Yes, skip?

T-tell me the st-story again.

About the princess?

Don't you ever get tired of it?

Okay, let's sit down.

Well,

Once upon a time

There was a princess Who was afraid of the dark

Because she thought It'd never be light again.

When sh-she didn't wake up, the Prince brought her presents?

Right. A bouquet of fresh Yellow sunshine flowers,

A necklace of seaweed From the great ocean,

A seashell with the Sounds of the ages in it,

And what the Princess wanted most...

A golden wedding band.

Then when the prince Had all his gifts,

He rode his white stallion, just Like the one you're riding now,

To where the Princess lay asleep.

And she awakened,

And god blessed the Prince and the princess,

And they lived Happily ever after.

Thank you.

Skip?

Come on. Let's go.

Skip!

Skip, where did you get that?

Skip, that's a real...

Sabrina!

I'm sorry. You Can't go in there.

Are you family?

Oh, why, we're... Yeah, we're family.

You can wait out Here if you'd like.

Oh, boy.

How?

Bosley's with the police. They don't know anything yet.

It happened at an Amusement park?!

With her date. I guess That's where they went.

Yeah, well, where the hell Was he when she got shot?!

I'm sorry.

Who is he?

Oh, doctor. Kelly, the Girl in there... How is she?

Lucky to be alive.

She'll be all right?

Hard to tell for a while.

She'll be unconscious For several hours.

Listen, I just Talked to the police

At the amusement park.

They found a man's body In the tunnel of horrors,

Just 50 feet from Where kelly was shot.

Single gunshot, close Range. No identification on him.

We were taking statements

From witnesses to Your friend's shooting

When the ride operator Discovered the body.

Now, the inside of that Place is like a cavern.

Wouldn't a shot have been heard

By the people on the other cars?

A silencer could've been used.

Now, we found the gun That shot your friend.

Ballistics will tell whether It's the same gun used here.

Well, in the darkness And that train in motion,

It wouldn't have been Too hard to dump a body.

You have no witnesses at all?

Not to this one.

But we do have somebody

Who saw the kid Shoot your friend.

Kid?

Yeah.

Saw it? I was right on Top of the whole thing.

It was a kid.

A little bit of a kid.

Are you sure?

No doubt about it.

The little boy Was holding a gun.

He was pointing it at Her like it was a toy.

And she was just trying To talk to him, normal-like.

Then all of a sudden... Pow!

Okay, could you Give me a description

Of the little boy, please?

Oh, yeah, well, he, uh... Towheaded. You know, blond.

Uh, kind of slender and small.

Small. How small?

Small. Regular small.

Reg-reg-regular small.

And, uh, he was wearing A cowboy suit. Yeah.

Listen, I got to go Hawk my peanuts.

I hope all this shooting

Hasn't spoiled Everybody's appetites.

Yeah, look, hey, uh, Thank you. Thanks a lot.

Okay, the boy's name is skip.

I just called kelly's Answering service.

She left word this morning

That she was going To pacific sanitarium.

Yeah, but she told Us she had a date.

She did. With the little boy.

I called the sanitarium.

In her spare time, Kelly was working

In a volunteer workshop With autistic children.

Then her mystery Man was this skip?

Yeah. They said she Spent more time with him

Than the other children

Because she thought he needed More help than the others.

Well, if I didn't love Her before, I do now.

But he's a little boy.

What would a little Boy be doing with a gun?

Better yet, why was The boy firing that gun?

Why kelly?

The doctor at the sanitarium Said kelly was the only one

Who could make contact with him.

With everyone else he's Completely withdrawn

And sometimes hostile.

Then he could be dangerous.

Yeah, to himself or Maybe somebody else.

We've got to find skip fast.

Skip is the only name We have for him, ladies.

This is his file.

However, we know nothing About him before he came to us,

Except that he was abandoned

In a west side shopping Center when he was 6.

And he's been shunted

From clinic to Clinic since that time.

We were pretty much The end of the line for him.

What do you mean, The end of the line?

Well, it's absurd.

But it's a fact that Our children here

Are counted as failures

Before they even come to us.

They're children whose Learning abilities are impeded,

And they require special Methods of teaching.

There's a note here.

Oh, yes, that was attached to His jersey when he was found.

Listen to this.

"I don't know how To help him anymore.

Please, please Take care of him."

No signature.

And it's written on the Back of a blank timecard.

That's the only clue We have to his past.

Well, a blank timecard Isn't much to go on.

Would skip remember Back that far?

I mean, is it possible

That he could remember Anything about where he came from

Before he was abandoned?

Well, I'm not sure.

But if he does,

It's quite possible that He might return to it.

Skip...

Hey, hey, come on. Take it easy.

Come on.

The doctor said you're going

To have to stay in Bed for a few days,

You know, just to Be on the safe side.

You dizzy?

A little. It's okay.

The doctor said there might be Some temporary aftereffects.

What about skip?

We've been searching For him, kelly.

But so far, no luck.

He didn't go back To the sanitarium.

What time is it?

It's, um, nearly 8:00.

Oh. He's so afraid of the dark.

Hey, kelly, come on now.

The police are doing Everything they can.

They have an apb out on him.

We found a photograph.

It's been distributed To all the news media.

Where could he be?

The doctor at the sanitarium

Didn't rule out the possibility

That he might try to go back To someplace he remembered,

Something out of his past.

This timecard is all We have to go on.

There's a note on It. Now, look, look.

There's a printer's Code number on here.

Now, they'd have A job sheet on file

That would tell Them which company

They printed the card for.

It's a long shot.

But we're going to try it Out first thing in the morning.

That is, if the police

Haven't already Found him by then.

Kelly, could you tell us Exactly what happened?

I don't know.

Um, I took skip to The amusement park,

And the next thing I knew he had a gun.

Kelly, where'd he get the gun?

I don't know.

Well, there was a man Killed this afternoon,

No more than 50 feet From where you were shot.

His fingerprints identified him

As a small-time bag Man named sam howard.

Ballistics says that the gun That was used to kill howard

Is the gun that skip found.

Sabrina,

Maybe the murder was committed In the tunnel of horrors.

And then the killer Threw away or lost the gun

Coming out of the park.

And skip found it.

Which means skip May have seen him.

Maybe he can identify him.

If the killer's Thinking the same thing,

Then skip could Be his next target.

Kelly, it's okay.

Take it easy.

Come on.

Right.

Very sloppy, ricky boy.

The cops found the gun

After the kid shot the girl.

The gun is clean.

They're not going to be Able to trace it back to us.

But that kid...

He was looking at me like he was Doing a memory act or something.

And that girl... She Could've seen me too.

What do you think we Ought to do, ricky boy?

We get murder one For killing howard.

The way to make sure that Doesn't happen is to make sure

That there are no witnesses Left alive to tell about it.

The girl or the kid?

Both of them.

Sounds reasonable.

Ricky!

Try not to lose it this time.

I know it's three years old,

But we'd really appreciate Any help you could give us.

Haven't used this particular Stock in a couple of years.

Every time I'd take Him home from there,

He'd want to know when We were going back again.
