00:00Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to the police academy.
00:06Two in Los Angeles.
00:13The other in San Francisco.
00:16And they were each assigned very hazardous duties.
00:22But I took them away from all that.
00:25And now they work for me.
00:27My name is Charlie.
01:30Thank you.
01:36Thank you.
01:40This one. Thank you.
01:43Wow!
01:45Does Bosley's arm have a cramp, or is he actually reaching for his wallet?
01:50My dear angels, you performed even beyond your usual degree of excellence on our last case.
01:55So it is only fair that I reach ever so quickly for the check.
01:59But, Kelly, I am crushed to think that you would think that I would not.
02:04Well, Bosley, I'm deeply, deeply sorry.
02:07Don't be so deeply, deeply sorry.
02:09It's going on the expense account.
02:11Oh, Chris, my love, that is a cruel stroke, but true.
02:15Oh.
02:16Listen, I gotta get going. I have an appointment with Pierre.
02:19Who's Pierre?
02:20Pierre runs his fingers through her hair.
02:22Her hairdresser?
02:23Bosley, you're becoming more perceptive every year.
02:31You didn't notice my new jacket, my new scarf, my new bag?
02:35We noticed.
02:36I love that new bag. Isn't this nice?
02:39Oh, I gotta go. I'm parked out back.
02:41Okay, but don't forget, tomorrow, office, 10 o'clock.
02:4410 o'clock?
02:45Maybe we'll go out to the beach afterwards, huh?
02:47Ah, the beach, that'd be great. I'd love that.
02:49Maybe I'll buy a new bikini.
02:51Um...
02:58Hey, Burton, let it go.
03:01Come on, Burton, forget it!
03:08I thought I told you never to come back here again.
03:12What you did was bad, Yervis.
03:17I'm a customer.
03:19I spend money here.
03:21You shouldn't have called the police.
03:23You are drunken, me.
03:25Now, you better get out of here before I call the police.
03:35Hey!
03:39Come on, get in!
03:43Hey, hold it!
03:50Hey!
03:56Burton, what are you gonna do now?
03:58She's seen me. I'm gonna make sure.
04:00Listen, you crazy?
04:20Oh.
04:23Ah.
04:36Ah.
04:49Oh.
05:20Ah.
05:23Ah.
05:50Oh.
06:17Ah!
06:19Hey, lady!
06:21You crazy?
06:22You trying to get yourself killed?
06:39Bagel lady?
06:45You know, lady, there are easier ways to hail a cab.
06:50Come on.
07:00Still no sign of her, Bosley?
07:02Nothing, Charlie. I haven't heard a word.
07:04Now, wait a second. Sabrina's back.
07:07Yeah, also with nothing. Checked her house. She's not there.
07:09Car isn't there. Talked to her neighbor.
07:11And?
07:12Said she might not have even come home last night.
07:14Angels, it's not like Chris to just disappear.
07:17Was she upset about anything when she left you at the restaurant?
07:20No, she was fine.
07:22As a matter of fact, she had an appointment to have her hair done.
07:24I called her hairdresser. She didn't keep the appointment.
07:27I think we've got to face the fact that Chris may be in trouble.
07:30Okay, how do we find her?
07:32I'll file a missing persons report with the police.
07:34And meanwhile, I suggest you all start looking where you last saw her.
07:39The restaurant.
07:40Good a place as any.
07:41We'll keep in touch, Charlie.
07:43Please do. Every minute.
07:47Okay.
08:48Steve.
09:09Chris?
09:10Chris, come on, honey, you're too close to the water.
09:12Chris?
09:14Chris, come on, honey. You're too close to the water. Come on.
10:14Come on.
10:45Hi. Hello.
10:46Hi.
10:47We were in here yesterday.
10:49Uh, there was another girl with us,
10:51and we're trying to find out where she went when she left here,
10:54or if she came back here at all.
10:56Yeah, so could we talk to the owner or the manager or something?
10:59Jarvis? Not likely. He's dead.
11:01Dead?
11:02Yeah.
11:03Yesterday afternoon, somebody caved his head
11:05and out in the rear parking lot.
11:07In fact, the police are out there again today
11:09trying to figure out what happened.
11:12Oh, uh, excuse me, officer.
11:14Yes?
11:15Uh, we're from the Townsend Agency.
11:17What can I do for you?
11:19Well, we were looking for one of our people, and, uh...
11:22Bosley, there's a car.
11:31Hey.
11:32Hey.
11:33Hey.
11:34Hey.
11:35Hey.
11:36Hey.
11:37Hey.
11:38Hey.
11:39Hey.
11:41Hey.
11:42Hey.
11:43Hey.
11:44Hey.
11:45Hey.
11:46Hey.
11:47Hey.
11:48Hey.
11:49What do you think that means?
11:51Guess she never got in.
11:53Well, then, how did she leave here?
11:55I don't know.
11:56Maybe we should ask around.
12:10Excuse me.
12:12Hi. We were wondering if you're a regular around here.
12:16Who wants to know? I'm sorry. I'm Sabrina Duncan. This is Kelly Garrett.
12:19We're looking for a friend of ours. The last time we saw her was here.
12:22We thought if you were a regular, maybe you might have seen her.
12:25That's her car over there. Yeah.
12:28When was it you last tracked her with? Yesterday around 4.
12:31Her name is Chris Monroe. We're awfully anxious to find her.
12:35You think you might have seen her?
12:40Yeah, I think I did. Nice-looking lady.
12:43When? Yesterday afternoon.
12:46Did you see her out here or inside there?
12:49Out here. It was about 4 o'clock.
12:52What was she doing? Just standing around, I think.
12:56Standing around? Was she talking to anyone?
12:59Yeah.
13:02Big guy. Sort of mean-looking.
13:05You don't happen to know who he was? No.
13:11But I know a lot of people that hang out around here.
13:14Maybe I could ask around for you. Terrific.
13:17Do you have a phone number?
13:23Townsend Detective.
13:26You ladies detectives? Yeah.
13:29That number can get us at home or at our office or, if need be, in our cars.
13:33Okay. I'll keep in touch.
13:36Oh, my name's Burton. Ted Burton.
13:39Thank you very much, Mr. Burton. We appreciate your help.
13:42Nice to be appreciated. I'll check with you later. Okay.
13:52I don't know. It was just an odd coincidence we got here or something else.
13:56Why? What'd the officer say?
13:59Well, the owner, Mr. Jarvis, was apparently robbed.
14:02Then he died from a blow on the head sometime yesterday afternoon.
14:05Maybe around 4? Possibly.
14:08Why? Well, we just talked to a fella
14:11who thinks he saw Chris here around that time. Do the police have a suspect?
14:14No, not yet.
14:17But with Chris's disappearance and the killing both at the same time,
14:20I just don't like the feel of it. Neither do I.
14:25There you go. Thank you.
14:29Uh, Times or Herald? I need a little conversation.
14:32There's no profit in conversation. There might be this time.
14:35We're looking for this girl.
14:38That's the one. Then you've seen her?
14:41Everybody saw her. She wandered in the middle of the street.
14:44Almost got hit by a taxi. Wait a minute. Are you sure it was her?
14:47Do I look like a liar? No, you don't look like a liar. Was she hurt?
14:50No, she was a lucky type. Do you happen to know where she went?
14:53Yeah. She got in the taxi that almost hit her.
14:56Well, did you notice the name of the cab company?
14:59Uh, Allied Cab Services. This area.
15:02Friend your prince. Thank you. Hey, you wanna pay a bit?
15:05No, no, here. Here's for your subscription. Thanks.
15:26You're welcome.
15:56You're welcome.
16:27This is a pleasant surprise, ma'am.
16:30Ma'am?
16:33My name's Jimmy.
16:36No need to be scared, ma'am.
16:39I'm just trying to be friendly.
16:42Rough a walk, are you?
16:45No, sir.
16:48I'm just trying to be friendly.
16:51I'm just trying to be friendly.
16:54Rough a walk, are you?
16:59What's your name?
17:04Come on, you got a name.
17:08What is it?
17:14Chris? Chris, come out now.
17:18Chris.
17:21My name's Chris.
17:24Well, Chris, welcome to my home.
17:27Come on, sit down.
17:30It's all right.
17:33Sit right down there.
17:36We're fixing up some stew. You hungry?
17:41Yes, thank you.
17:44Oh, good. Putting it down.
17:53It's nice having company.
17:58We can be friends, okay?
18:15Hello?
18:18Thank you.
18:21Hi, you're Mel.
18:24Yeah.
18:27Can we talk to you for just a second, please?
18:30Yeah, we'll make it a short second. I'm heading for a tall beer.
18:33Sure. According to your dispatch, I'm heading for a tall beer.
18:36Okay.
18:39Hi.
18:42I'm heading for a tall beer.
18:45According to your dispatcher, you picked up a fare yesterday around 4 o'clock...
18:48at the newsstand on 6th and Avery.
18:51Could you tell me, is this the girl?
18:54Yeah, that's her. I nearly ran her down.
18:57The dispatcher says you dropped her at the beach?
19:00Yeah, finally.
19:03What do you mean, finally?
19:06Well, she wouldn't talk. She didn't know where she wanted to go.
19:09She was driving, going by the beach. All of a sudden, she wanted out.
19:12I mean, I think she wanted out. She started to open the door.
19:15You mean when the cab was moving?
19:18Yeah. So I hit the brakes, told her the fare. She just stared at me.
19:21Money, I said. Money.
19:24She handed me a $50 bill.
19:27Didn't wait for the change and walked off in the sand.
19:30Could you tell us exactly where you dropped her off?
19:33About half a mile north of the Seacrest restaurant.
19:36Was she injured or hurt in any way?
19:39Nothing you could see, but...
19:42yeah, there was something wrong with her.
19:45Look, I gotta go. I hope you find her.
19:48She looked like a lady in big trouble. Excuse me.
19:51Uh, thanks very much. Yeah.
19:54What is it? What's happened to her?
19:57Well, like he says, she's in trouble. Let's go.
20:06Come on.
20:37Hey, come on.
21:00It ain't very good, is it?
21:03I like good stuff, but I can't afford it.
21:07Oh, no, it's good.
21:09Really, I appreciate it.
21:12You know something?
21:13What?
21:15You're a very nice man.
21:18Oh.
21:23What do you want?
21:25We were looking at the lady's purse.
21:28You see, we sort of come on hard times.
21:31And the lady looks like she could afford to lend a hand to her brother.
21:37Hey!
21:59Uh, lady, if you want to keep your lousy purse that bad,
22:03you can have it.
22:09Hey.
22:11Let's go over here.
22:13Well, you're some kind of woman.
22:16Where'd you learn to fight like that?
22:19What you doing with that gun?
22:34Hey.
22:36Where you going?
22:38Rest, don't cry.
22:41Stay with me.
22:44I'll be your friend.
23:03Come on.
23:06Hey.
23:08Come on.
23:32Where do we start?
23:38I don't know.
24:09Hey.
24:11What's the matter?
24:13Look at the scarf that kid's wearing.
24:15Yeah, looks like the one that Chris was wearing.
24:17Excuse me.
24:19We're looking for a friend.
24:21Yeah?
24:22Well, who is it?
24:24We think she came this way.
24:30Hey, you.
24:32Hey.
24:34Hey.
24:37Haven't seen her.
24:40You mind telling me something?
24:42Depends.
24:44Why are you lying?
24:46You got bad manners, lady.
24:48And an impatient nature.
24:50What's with the scarf you're wearing?
24:52Hey, this is my gun!
24:54And I got an impatient nature, too!
24:56Sabrina, you're not gonna shoot somebody else, did it?
24:58Hey, easy. Easy.
25:00Hey, look, we didn't do your friend no harm.
25:02We're just looking for a friend.
25:04Hey, look, we didn't do your friend no harm.
25:06As a matter of fact, she kicked the hell out of us.
25:08Then she pulled the gun, and we were just clowning around.
25:10Okay, and where is she?
25:12She's about a mile down the beach.
25:14She's with some old man in a tent.
25:16Give me your wallet.
25:18Is this a stick-up?
25:20Your wallet.
25:24Joe Hicks, Alvarado Street.
25:27If you're lying to us or you've hurt our friend, Mr. Hicks,
25:30we'll be seeing you.
25:32Now get out of here.
25:38Let's go.
26:02Let's go.
26:14Oh, the diving is magic.
26:17That is awesome.
26:19Oh, Joe Hicks.
26:21Let's go.
26:27No way!
26:29Okay, I got it. I got it.
26:31Whoa!
26:38Oh, yeah.
26:40Nice.
26:52Wow.
27:01Whoa.
27:25Hey, look at that.
27:27He said an old guy in a tent.
27:29Yeah, sounds like he got out of the tent and into the Bible.
27:32Let's see.
27:40You three again?
27:42Well, I'll teach you to mess with me and Chris.
27:45I'll teach you. I'll teach you good.
27:48I'll teach you good.
27:57You three fellas, you scared away my friend Chris.
28:01Well, you ain't gonna scare me.
28:03Okay, drop it. Drop it. Drop it.
28:08What'd you do to him?
28:10I didn't touch him.
28:12I think it was the wine.
28:14Did I hear him mention Chris's name?
28:16Well, we can talk to him.
28:18Wonder how long that's gonna take.
28:20Well, from the number of bottles, I'd say it'll be a while.
28:28Wow!
28:30Oh, yeah!
28:42Hello, there.
28:44How long you been sitting there?
28:48I don't know.
28:50You don't know?
28:54A while.
28:56Are you all right?
29:01I think so.
29:03What's your name?
29:05Chris.
29:07Chris. Nice name. What's your last name?
29:11Chris what?
29:15I don't know.
29:17What's going on?
29:21We've got some food over there.
29:23Something to drink. Would you like to join us?
29:30Good. Come on.
29:44Here you go.
30:06Hello?
30:08Who?
30:10Oh, yes, Mr. Burton. How are you?
30:12I'm fine.
30:14You asked me to call you about your friend.
30:17What's her name, Chris?
30:19Your answering service gave me this number.
30:21Do you have anything?
30:23I might.
30:25Maybe we should talk.
30:28I can't hear you. This is a bad connection.
30:31It seems that we've got a bad connection.
30:34Where are you at? I'll meet you there.
30:37We're at the beach.
30:39We're going to a restaurant to sober up a friend.
30:42The Seacrest. Do you know where it is?
30:44I think I do.
30:46I'm at my apartment in Santa Monica.
30:48I'll be there in 15 minutes.
30:50Okay. Bye.
31:09Bye.
31:25Feeling any better?
31:27No, I'm not feeling any better.
31:29I feel better when I'm drunk.
31:32How come you people don't understand that?
31:35We're trying to.
31:37Jimmy, where did you get the gun?
31:40A lady gave it to me.
31:43Tell me something.
31:47Was this the lady?
31:51That's her. That's Chris.
31:55Well, Chris.
31:58I see you're making progress.
32:00Hello. Hi. Would you like some coffee?
32:03No, thanks.
32:05You said you had something for me.
32:07Well, it's not much.
32:09I talked to this woman
32:11who thought she saw your friend
32:13walking away from the restaurant around 5 o'clock.
32:17Well, we already found out
32:19that she took a cab here to the beach.
32:21She apparently spent some time with this gentleman.
32:24Oh. I like Chris.
32:27We could have been friends.
32:29Jimmy, why did you have Chris' gun?
32:33Well, it was these three dang young fools come by,
32:38and they tried to get at her purse.
32:41She had a fight with them.
32:44Then she pulled out this gun.
32:46Was she hurt in this fight?
32:48No.
32:50After she run him off, though,
32:54she started into crying.
32:57She started crying?
32:59She started to crying,
33:03and she dropped her gun,
33:06and then she wanted it all.
33:08Which way did she go?
33:10Down.
33:11Down?
33:12Down the beach.
33:14You mean she went south?
33:16Yeah, south.
33:20Looks like you're doing all right without a help from me.
33:23I've got a meeting to go to.
33:25Oh, I appreciate your coming.
33:27There aren't many people who would go out of their way for total strangers.
33:31You're a very nice man.
33:33I guess we gotta just do what we have to, huh?
33:38Maybe I'll call you later and see how you're doing.
33:41That would be fine.
33:43So long.
33:44Good luck.
33:45Thank you.
33:49Hi.
33:51I just talked to Charlie.
33:53He's been trying to get some more details on the killing at the restaurant.
33:56Anyone know why the man was killed?
33:58Robbery, I guess, was the motive.
34:00He was carrying the week's receipts to the bank for deposit.
34:02And police have any leads?
34:03No, nothing yet.
34:05But there was an incident about a week ago
34:07when the owner Jarvis got into a beef with a patron who made some threats.
34:11Charlie's gonna check and see if he can get more details on that, too.
34:14Did you get anything out of him?
34:16Oh, yeah. He saw her.
34:18She had a fight with those three guys that we ran into.
34:20He says she headed south.
34:22Well, then I guess we head south.
34:24You want a ride home, Jimmy?
34:26Well, you ain't gonna leave me here surrounded by all this coffee, are you?
34:54Wow.
35:25Hello?
35:27It's Charlie.
35:29The police found out who it was that got into that argument
35:31with Jarvis, the restaurant owner.
35:33They sent over a copy of his file.
35:35You mean he has a police record?
35:37Nothing major.
35:38Creating a disturbance in a public place,
35:40one assault and battery charge, dropped.
35:42Apparently, he's a rather ill-tempered fellow.
35:44Well, have they questioned him?
35:46They will when they find him.
35:48What do you mean?
35:51You mean he's disappeared?
35:53Well, I don't know if he's disappeared.
35:55He wasn't at his apartment in Santa Monica
35:57when they went there a few minutes ago.
35:59Wait a minute, Charlie.
36:00You said his apartment's in Santa Monica?
36:02Mm-hmm. Why?
36:03Did you get this man's name?
36:05Uh, yes.
36:06Burton. Ted Burton.
36:08Are you sure?
36:10Yes. Why?
36:11Charlie, Ted Burton is the man I told you we met at Jarvis' restaurant,
36:14the one who's been helping us.
36:16That coincidence disturbs me, Kelly.
36:18It scares the daylights out of me.
36:20Especially since 15 minutes ago, Burton was with us,
36:22and he knows where Chris was last headed.
36:24Where are you now?
36:25We're just leaving the restaurant.
36:27Maybe you could call the police and have them put out an APB on Burton.
36:30Consider it done.
36:32His license, in case you happen to see him, is 108-EMU.
36:35108-EMU.
36:37Okay. We'll get back to you, Charlie.
36:39Listen, Jimmy, would you mind grabbing a cab?
36:42That should cover the fare with a bit to spare, okay?
36:45I know right where to get one.
37:15♪
37:44Medium well, okay?
37:46What?
37:47Medium well, all right?
37:49Oh, thanks.
37:54Chris, I know you're in trouble.
37:56I don't know what kind, but I'd like to help, if I can.
38:00I'm supposed to meet somebody.
38:04Some friends, I think.
38:07Who are these friends?
38:10I don't know, Tommy.
38:12Tommy?
38:14I'm not Tommy. My name's Brad.
38:18I'm sorry.
38:21Tommy was somebody I knew in college.
38:25We were very good friends.
38:29Okay, come on!
38:39You look like him.
38:42College? But where have you been lately?
38:46I think I've been in some angry places.
38:50What do you mean, angry places?
38:54I don't know.
38:57I'm not feeling very well. I'm sort of...
39:00I feel sort of tired. I think I should go.
39:03So who's stopping you?
39:05I mean, who invited you, anyway?
39:07I did.
39:09No, really, I think I should go.
39:11You don't have to leave.
39:14I think this is another angry place.
39:22Chris, you don't have to leave.
39:24My friends are waiting for me.
39:26You don't even remember who they are.
39:28But I think I'm beginning to.
39:32Can I drive you somewhere?
39:34It's okay.
39:36Actually, I have some thinking to do.
39:39Thank you.
39:41Goodbye.
39:43Goodbye.
40:04Goodbye.
40:34Goodbye.
40:36Goodbye.
41:02Hold it!
41:07Let me help you.
41:09Let me help you, Chris.
41:36Let me help you.
42:07Okay, but don't forget tomorrow, office, 10 o'clock.
42:1010 o'clock?
42:12Yeah, maybe then afterwards we'll go out to the beach, huh?
42:36Let's go.
43:07Hey, wait. Hold it, Boz. Pull over.
43:15108 EMU, that's Burton's car.
43:18Chris!
43:20Come on, let's go.
43:36Chris!
43:48Hey!
44:06Chris!
44:36Chris!
45:06Chris!
45:36Chris!
46:02Stop!
46:06Stop!
46:20Oh, my God!
46:22Are you all right?
46:24What happened?
46:32Oh, my God, let me see.
46:37Oh, my God.
46:55Well, angels, the police have booked Burton for murder.
46:58And, Chris, they're ready to hear your statement
47:01whenever you're ready to give it.
47:03I'm ready now, Charlie.
47:05Good. And everything is clear again, huh?
47:08I guess so.
47:10I guess so?
47:12Well, that worries me a little.
47:14Maybe you need a couple of days rest or a complete physical.
47:17No, Bosley, all the details are clear.
47:20It's just that...
47:22Wait a minute, wait a minute. Just what?
47:25I don't know.
47:27Well, when I was wandering around out there,
47:30I kept remembering my childhood.
47:33And how was it?
47:35It was nice.
47:38It was sort of peaceful.
47:42I liked remembering it.
47:45I'd like to go back.
47:47Well, I guess I can't, can I?
47:50No, Chris, you can't.
47:52But for what it's worth,
47:54you're loved here...
47:56a lot.
47:58A lot.
48:03Well, it was an interesting trip.
48:06But it's nice to be home.
48:09To coming home.
48:11To coming home.
48:13Thanks.
48:33Thanks.
