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.
00:17And they were each assigned very hazardous duties.
00:22But I took them away from all that, and now they work for me.
00:26My name is Charlie.
01:30Charlie.
01:53Hello.
01:54Bodley, hi, Chris. Where are you?
01:56Uh, in my car.
01:58I know, but where?
01:59Oh, in the front seat.
02:02Bodley, where in the city?
02:05Oh, uh, 7th and Grand.
02:07Okay, great. Listen, meet me on the corner of Cantor and Willis.
02:11Why? You're supposed to be on your way to the office for a meeting.
02:14I know, but as I was leaving the house, a potential client called.
02:17He said to meet him at a Mexican restaurant called Lily's at the corner of Cantor and Willis.
02:22Perhaps you have forgotten, but I usually receive my assignments from Charlie.
02:27Bodley, this guy sounds very scared, very anxious, and very rich.
02:32So I'll tell you what. You meet me there, and I'll let you do all the talking.
02:36Okay?
02:37Okay. I'll meet you at Willis and Cantor in a couple of minutes.
02:40Great. Bye-bye.
03:28Car honks
03:39Miss Monroe?
03:40Yes.
03:41I'm Mr. Stratton.
03:42Hi. How are you?
03:44Well, should we sit down?
03:46Let's ride.
03:48Uh, I'm meeting my associate, Mr. Bodley, here. He should be here any minute.
03:53Car honks
03:56Well, I suggest we leave before he arrives.
03:59What's the gun for?
04:01In the car, Miss Monroe.
04:05In the car.
04:10Tires screech
04:14Hey, hold it!
04:16Tires screech
04:18Gunshot
04:21Tires screech
04:31Hey, you okay? What's going on, mister? You okay?
04:33No, I'm not okay, and I don't know what's going on.
04:36Whatever it is, it's not good.
04:48What time did this happen, Bodley?
04:50About, uh, ten minutes ago.
04:52Have you called the police yet?
04:54No, I came directly here and called you.
04:57Listen, mister. I'm sorry. What did you say your name was?
05:01Oh, Jackson. Ed Jackson.
05:03Mr. Jackson, are you sure the name on the door of the station wagon said Georgian Acres?
05:08Oh, yeah, yeah. I got a real good look while the red-haired guy was grabbing your friend.
05:14But you didn't get a look at the license plate.
05:18No. You know, it all happened so fast, and the station wagon wasn't turned.
05:22You know, I could see the plates.
05:24All I got was the lettering on the side of the door.
05:27It said Georgian Acres. I'm sorry.
05:30Don't be sorry, Mr. Jackson. What you've told us may prove very helpful.
05:35This may prove helpful also, Charlie. It's a telegram we just got.
05:40Oh, listen to this.
05:42In the matter before you, we strongly suggest you do not contact the authorities.
05:47We will contact you later regarding the cost of returning Jill Monroe.
05:51Jill Monroe?
05:52It seems it's been a rather grievous error on someone's part.
05:56Charlie, what do we do? Call the police?
05:58Yes. We'll tell them what's happened, but we'll ask them to let us move alone.
06:03We'll bring them in when we've got something.
06:05Yeah, but where do we start?
06:07Well, I think we'd better turn our attention immediately to Georgian Acres, wherever that is.
06:12I think there's something else we ought to do first.
06:14Yes, I suppose there is, Sabrina.
06:17Now, Jill is in Montreal.
06:20You sit tight. I'll call her and tell her about Chris.
06:37Chris!
07:08Hi.
07:11Oh, you all right?
07:12Yeah.
07:13You got here quick, didn't you?
07:14Hi. I was just on my way to Europe when I got the call from Charlie.
07:18Is this all you brought?
07:19Oh, I didn't even take time to pack. I just chartered the plane and I'm not in very good shape.
07:23Oh, you look fine.
07:24Jill, everything's going to be all right. We're going to find her.
07:27If anybody heard Chris...
07:28Oh, come on now. Nobody's heard her.
07:30You don't have any idea who took her?
07:32Well, we got a couple of things to go on.
07:35I don't even remember my conversation with Charlie.
07:38Did he say something about a witness?
07:40Yeah, a man named Japson saw a logo, Georgian Acres, written on the kidnapper's station wagon.
07:45We checked it out and it's a resort in the Malibu Mountains near the beach.
07:49That's all we've got?
07:51Well, I got a quick look at the two that grabbed her.
07:55Where do we start? This resort?
07:58That's what we figured.
08:05Jill, Jill, we're going to find her.
08:36Come here.
08:53Whoa, Buzz! What are you doing?
08:55Bingo! Those two!
09:00What about them?
09:01Those are the ones that took Chris.
09:03Are you sure, Buzz?
09:05Yeah, I got a quick look at them and unfortunately they got a look at me.
09:09Okay, I got the license number. How do we move?
09:12Let's go get them.
09:13No, wait a minute. First we have to find out where they have Chris.
09:16Oh, I don't know what's the matter with me. I'm not thinking straight.
09:19You know, I think our first move should be to cover this kisser of mine with some sort of disguise.
09:23Yeah, and then maybe we ought to check into the Georgian Acres, huh?
09:26Yeah, I think that's a good idea.
09:28Okay, can we just do it?
09:30We'll check in first thing in the morning.
10:00Let's go.
10:02Listen, I've done exactly what you people have asked.
10:32A practical joke, you said.
10:34You see, it doesn't feel like a joke.
10:37I mean, I am an actor, not a comedian, so perhaps the humor of what's going on around here has been lost on me.
10:47Ah, there you are.
10:51Look, can we wrap this up? I've got things I'd like to do.
10:55Sit down and be quiet.
11:02He is annoying me.
11:04Well, give him some money and send him away, Mr. Krasner.
11:07He talks too much. I don't like it. People who talk too much are troublesome.
11:14You think he could hurt us?
11:16You should have hired someone with less mouth and more intellect.
11:20I'll take care of it, Mr. Krasner.
11:22Do.
11:24Take care of it now.
11:26Yes, sir.
11:32So, hey, listen, you want to give me the 500 so I can get out of here?
11:35You're on your way?
11:37Hey, hey, wait a minute. You know, enough's enough.
11:41Let's go.
11:42I mean, whatever this is, you know, it's getting a little bit out of hand.
11:54Hey, I'm with him. I don't think this is very appropriate.
11:58Hey, I'm with him. I don't think this is very amusing.
12:01Who are you?
12:03What do you want?
12:05My name is Anton Krasner.
12:09And for the moment, I want you, Miss Monroe.
12:57Thank you.
13:13Good day, sir.
13:14Good day.
13:15You'll handle this, won't you?
13:17Yes, sir.
13:19I hope you enjoy your stay.
13:21Thank you.
13:22Thank you very much.
13:26Thank you.
13:27Hello. Wintergreen, sir. I knocked off reservations.
13:31Jonathan Wintergreen.
13:33Yes, yes. I have your room ready, Mr. Wintergreen.
13:36Capital. Capital.
13:38Excuse me. The dark suave fellow, does he work here?
13:42Oh, yes, sir. He's our tennis pro.
13:45Mr. Ruiz.
13:47Sign here, please.
13:48Yes. Ruiz, you say?
13:50Mm-hmm.
13:51Yeah.
13:53Thank you.
13:55$2.90.
13:56Yes, Mr. Ruiz.
13:57$2.90.
13:58$2.90.
13:59$2.90.
14:00$2.90.
14:01$2.90.
14:02$2.90.
14:03$2.90.
14:04$2.90.
14:05$2.90.
14:06$2.90.
14:07Yes, Mr. Ruiz.
14:26Very nice.
14:30Very nice shot.
14:31Thank you.
14:36What is your name?
14:38Jill. Jill Johnson.
14:41How long are you going to be here?
14:42Only a week.
14:44Think you can help me?
14:49If you're willing to work, yes.
14:51Anytime you can see me, I'm available.
14:56Anytime?
14:57Anytime. Day, night, afternoon.
15:06Day, night, afternoon.
15:37Thank you.
15:43Eat.
15:56The food is not to your liking, Miss Monroe?
15:59Not real crazy about the company, either.
16:02I offer my hospitality to few people in this world, Miss Monroe.
16:06I suggest you act more civil.
16:07I'm not feeling very civil.
16:09I suggest you try. Carl can be very unpleasant, if I wish.
16:15Well, that doesn't make much sense, does it?
16:18You're not going to get any money for damaged goods.
16:21I can assure you, Miss Monroe, I am not interested in money.
16:25In fact, you're worth more to me dead than alive.
16:29So I suggest you make an effort to improve your manners.
16:37Do you know this young man?
16:41No, how would I know him?
16:44I thought perhaps...
16:46Perhaps what?
16:47You've been told of him.
16:51Who would have told me?
16:53I have nine paintings of my son.
16:57Not reproductions, mind you. Nine originals.
17:02Hanging in each of my houses.
17:04Hanging in each of my houses.
17:11Have you ever lost anyone you loved, Miss Monroe?
17:15A parent, a child?
17:18Yes, I have.
17:21A friend.
17:22It's not the same.
17:24Maybe not.
17:25It's not the same.
17:30I see.
17:31You don't see.
17:33But you will.
17:36You will.
17:40That photo album.
17:44Look at it.
18:31You hit a very strong ball.
19:02My God!
19:10Thank you for the racket.
19:11Can we continue just over lunch?
19:13I'd like that.
19:14Two o'clock in the lobby?
19:15Sounds great.
19:16Good.
19:17See you then.
19:18Right.
19:21Pretty good. How'd it go?
19:24Well, I'm having lunch with him. I'll let you know after that.
19:27Out of shape.
19:28I'm hot.
19:29Did you find out from Charlie who owns this place?
19:31No, he's going to call in a few minutes. Let's go.
19:54Is there a man in my room?
19:56Where?
19:57Is the first one right there? What's that man doing in my room?
20:28Hold it!
20:29Right.
20:57Right.
20:58Thank you, darling.
21:01Well, anything missing?
21:03Not that I can tell.
21:05And you're sure the guy you chased had red hair?
21:07Positive. He's the guy that you saw talking to Ruiz.
21:10Well, maybe he left some fingerprints that'll help us make an ID.
21:13Yeah, but it'll take a while to make the ID, won't it?
21:15Maybe there's a quicker way.
21:17Look what I found.
21:20209?
21:21Let's call the desk and see who's registered in 209.
21:24Good idea.
21:25Oh, and Charlie just told me on the phone
21:27that that limo we took the license number off of when we got here
21:30and this whole resort is owned by a Wincott Industries.
21:34Wait, Wincott Industries?
21:36Yeah, why? Does it mean something to you?
21:39Yeah, I remember hearing it.
21:40I don't know where, but remember when?
21:43Um, I was at a party in Europe.
21:45Remember who you were with?
21:46Yeah, I was with a friend of mine, Dino Carosna.
21:48Is he connected with the Wincott Industries?
21:51I don't know. I just remember hearing the name.
21:52Well, keep trying to remember. It might tie in somehow.
21:55Bosley, you make that phone call.
21:56See if you can find the red-haired man's name, okay?
21:58I'll see if I can get his picture.
22:01How are you gonna get a picture?
22:04With a camera.
22:22I'll get it.
22:53What are you doing?
22:55Oh, monsieur.
22:57Oh, I'm so sorry. I did not know you were here.
23:00You didn't hear the shower?
23:01Pardon?
23:02You didn't hear the shower?
23:04Oh, monsieur, was the shower on?
23:06Well, I'm so sorry.
23:07I have had a cold and my ears are all stuffed up.
23:10Okay.
23:11But why are you here?
23:13The room has been cleaned.
23:14Ah, monsieur, it only looks clean.
23:17You see, all over this room,
23:19there are little flecks of dust.
23:22I see you in the lobby, monsieur,
23:24and I say, this is a gentleman.
23:26He deserves to live like a gentleman.
23:28And so I come here to give your room a touch-up.
23:32But I see you are indisposed,
23:35and so I will come back later.
23:39I am very sorry, monsieur,
23:41but you are a fine figure of a man.
23:50How'd it go?
23:51I think I got something.
23:52Why don't you get this developed and get it to Charlie?
23:54Where's Jill?
23:55Ah, she went to meet Ruby's for their luncheon engagement.
23:58Okay, I've got to be at 612 Westbrook Place at 2 o'clock.
24:01Gives me half an hour.
24:02Yeah, well, what's there?
24:03I don't know, but it's got something to do with Chris.
24:05Take care of the car for me, will you?
24:07Yeah.
24:09Well, I'll see you later.
24:11I'll see you later.
24:12Bye-bye.
24:13Bye-bye.
24:14Bye-bye.
24:15Bye-bye.
24:16Bye-bye.
24:17Yeah.
24:31Hello?
24:35For you, Mr. Krause?
24:38Yes?
24:39The key to my room, I planted under the couch.
24:42One of them found it. She just left it.
24:44Which one?
24:45Duncan. Sabrina Duncan.
24:49Where are Monroe and Garrett?
24:52Monroe is with Ruiz and Garrett's probably with Duncan.
24:56What about the other one, Bosley?
25:00He hasn't shown here.
25:02Oh, by the way, I'm not sure, but I think the Duncan girl may have got a picture of me.
25:09A picture?
25:10A snapshot. I'm not sure.
25:12I thought I heard a camera noise.
25:16Perhaps instead of misdirecting Miss Duncan and Miss Garrett, you had better dispose of them.
25:21Quickly.
25:22Before they let this snapshot fall into the hands of the authorities.
25:25Yes, sir.
25:27I'll get back to you.
25:38Mr. Krasner.
25:40Mr. Krasner.
25:42Why are you doing this?
25:45Why are you having me look at these pictures?
25:50I'll give you this. You have courage.
25:53I admire courage.
25:54Strength, I always have.
25:59Pity it must be wasted.
26:09Huh.
26:40Hello?
26:41Hello, Kelly. It's Boz.
26:43Listen, when you left just now, our red-haired friend was waiting in the limo and he's following you now.
26:47So keep an eye, okay?
26:49Okay, Boz. What's this?
26:51There's a lab a couple of minutes from here, so I'm going to drop off the film,
26:54then I'll come back and see how Jill's doing with Ruiz.
26:58Right.
26:59I'll be back in a minute.
27:00Okay.
27:01Bye.
27:02Bye.
27:03Bye.
27:04Bye.
27:06Bye.
27:07Bye.
27:09Right, we'll keep in touch.
27:12What's the matter?
27:13Red is following us in the limo.
27:15Oh, no.
27:20I guess he didn't buy my French maid.
27:22You think he knows who we are?
27:24I don't know. It's all been pretty easy.
27:27What do you mean? What's been too easy?
27:28Well, the whole thing's been too easy.
27:30I mean, we have a witness who sees the car with Georgian acres on it.
27:33We find the key to room 209 just conveniently dropped in Jill's room.
27:37In room 209, there's a picture in there of Chris with this address that we're going to now.
27:41It's just been too easy.
27:43You mean we've been given information? Set up?
27:45I don't know. It sure looks like it.
27:55What do we do?
27:56Well, we don't wait for him to make a move on us.
28:00Having car trouble?
28:01Yeah.
28:02It's a shame.
28:03It sure is.
28:07Oh, no.
28:38Whoa!
28:42Trouble, ladies?
28:43Can you believe that?
28:47Look at that.
28:48Isn't that amazing?
28:54Sabrina, it's a little after two.
28:55Yeah, and we get sent off at two and Jill meets Ruiz at two.
28:58I don't like the coincidence.
28:59Me neither.
29:00What about him?
29:01We call the police.
29:07Let's go.
29:28Hello.
29:29Hello.
29:30Sorry I'm late.
29:31That's okay.
29:32Listen, I know of a smashing seafood spot right on the beach overlooking the...
29:36I asked a couple of friends to meet me here.
29:38Would you mind if we had lunch here?
29:40I don't think so, Miss Monroe.
29:43You keep having a problem with my name.
29:44It's Johnson.
29:45Jill Johnson.
29:46No, it's Monroe.
29:47Jill Monroe.
29:49And we've got your sister, Chris Monroe.
29:51And if you want to see her alive, you come with me now.
29:55I've got a small but destructive revolver in my hand.
30:00I guess this means we're not having lunch.
30:02That's right.
30:07Shit.
30:34Get in.
30:37Slide over and drive.
30:38Slide over and drive.
30:43When you get to that corner, turn left.
31:07Get in.
31:14Hello.
31:15Hello.
31:16Hello, Kelly.
31:17This is Boz.
31:18Where are you?
31:19We're on our way back to the resort.
31:20Why?
31:21Well, when I got there, Ruiz was taking Jill.
31:24Taking Jill where?
31:25I don't know, but Jill was going unwillingly.
31:27Now look, I'm following them now.
31:29I'm northbound on the Georgian Acres service road, just past the Cutler intersection.
31:33All right, Boz.
31:34We're on our way.
31:35Stay on them.
31:36Right.
31:38Step on it.
32:05Step on it.
32:35Step on it.
32:46Wait.
32:48Why did you take my sister?
32:50It will be explained to you soon.
32:52I would like it to be explained to me now.
32:56Anton Corazza's son is dead.
32:59I know that.
33:00I read about it when he crashed in the wall at Le Mans, but what does that have to do with...
33:04Mr. Corazza believes his son deliberately killed himself.
33:08Deliberately?
33:10Suicide.
33:12But why?
33:13You.
33:14Because of you.
33:16Because of me?
33:18He was despondent when you left.
33:21So he deliberately killed himself?
33:23That's totally insane.
33:25Mr. Corazza believes it's true.
33:28Even if he does believe that's true, what's any of that got to do with Chris?
33:31And why did he put my name on the telegram?
33:33I mean...
33:34Mr. Corazza will explain that.
34:04Hello?
34:05Kelly, this is Bosley.
34:07Now listen to me.
34:08Stay on Cutler until you get to a dirt road that veers left through some trees.
34:12Cutler to the dirt road.
34:13Yeah, gotcha, Bosley.
34:14On our way.
34:33Mr. Corazza, you can't really believe that my sister was responsible for your son's death.
34:56Of course, you must defend her.
34:57It's only right.
34:59She's your sister.
35:00You must be blindly loyal.
35:02That's right, she's my sister.
35:04I know her.
35:05She would never hurt someone deliberately.
35:07Hurt him?
35:09She killed him.
35:11She demanded too much and gave too little.
35:12He was young, emotional.
35:15He didn't realize how someone could lie to him.
35:17He didn't understand.
35:19No, Mr. Corazza, you didn't understand.
35:23Hi, what brings you here?
35:26I heard you were hanging out with a rough crowd.
35:28I just dropped by to see if I could straighten you out.
35:33Are you okay?
35:35Yeah, just a little scared.
35:37Be all right.
35:39You wanted me here.
35:40Why didn't you just bring me here?
35:42It would have taken time to find you.
35:44This seemed quicker and certainly more ironic.
35:50You mean by making me think you had taken her by mistake?
35:54I think one's sense of guilt is heightened if one believes a loved one will share in their punishment.
36:00Don't you think?
36:01Punishment?
36:02Yours.
36:04For what you did to my son.
36:07Mr. Corazza.
36:11Andino and I were together.
36:13There were some things I wanted to say to you, but I didn't think I had the right.
36:16I'm going to say them to you now.
36:17No, now you're going to listen.
36:20You killed my son.
36:22And you've caused me pain such as I have never felt before.
36:28And now you want revenge.
36:30You took what I loved.
36:32I take what you love.
36:37So that's what this is all about.
36:38That is what this is about.
36:44I know you loved your son.
36:47I loved him too, but as a friend.
36:49A friend.
36:54It was more to him.
36:56No, maybe in the beginning, but he was young.
36:59He wasn't ready.
37:01He was a man.
37:02He was a boy.
37:03Trying to be the man you wanted him to be.
37:05Exactly in your image.
37:07He wanted that too.
37:08He was that.
37:11You didn't even know your own son.
37:15He was quiet and gentle and caring.
37:18You gave him fast planes, fast boats, a fast car.
37:23All the things that were important to you when you were young.
37:25They weren't important to him.
37:27He only accepted them to please you.
37:29He was happy with what I gave him.
37:32Until you came into his life.
37:34Oh, he told me what you said.
37:36He told me how you tried to turn him against me.
37:39I never tried to turn him against you.
37:41I only tried to get him to be what he was.
37:44Nothing more, nothing less.
37:46You made him uncertain.
37:48And that made him weak.
37:49I made him think.
37:51For himself.
37:53He painted beautiful pictures and he wrote beautiful poetry.
37:58Did you know your son wrote poetry?
38:00He did nothing like that.
38:02You didn't know.
38:05He didn't share that with you.
38:08He was strong.
38:11A son I could be proud of.
38:13Poisoned him.
38:15Took away his confidence and then left him.
38:17I did not leave him.
38:20We were friends.
38:23We parted as friends.
38:24You know what he said to me when I left?
38:27He said, I love you because you let me be what I am.
38:31If only my father could see me the way you see me.
38:42Your son died in that race car.
38:45Because he wasn't a very good driver.
38:48He wasn't a good flyer.
38:50He wasn't a good sailor.
38:52He wasn't any of those things that you were.
38:55And he wanted to be.
38:59But he couldn't.
39:01And that's what killed him.
39:23I have listened to you.
39:26It hasn't changed what I feel.
39:30What I know.
39:35We'll leave now.
39:38Where are we going?
39:41I have business in Mexico.
39:42You and your sister will come with me.
39:45What then?
39:46I told you.
39:47You will know what it is like to lose someone you love.
39:50You'll have plenty of time to think about it.
39:54Then you'll feel it.
39:56Put them in the car.
40:08Here's the turn boss that told us to watch for.
40:10Hurry.
40:21Mexico
40:42Where is she?
40:43Ruiz took her into that house about ten minutes ago.
40:45I called the police.
40:46Any sign of Chris?
40:47No.
40:48But I've got a gut feeling that she's in that house.
40:51Wrong. She just walked out of it.
41:16Get in the car boss.
41:17Come on.
41:18What about the key?
41:19Get in.
41:47Mexico
42:18Mexico
42:32It pays to have friends.
42:36Stop them.
42:48Mexico
43:06Kelly.
43:07They have killed Chris.
43:18Mexico
43:44Jump.
43:47Run them down.
44:18Mexico
44:36Hey.
44:37They're going to do whatever they want.
44:38Try to take off.
44:39You better move the car across the runway.
44:47Mexico
45:01He's going to try to go around us.
45:04Try and hit the engine.
45:18Mexico
45:26He's gone. You better drop them.
45:33She's right.
45:34No sense getting ourselves killed for him.
45:44I'll take care of them.
45:47Mexico
46:17Mexico
46:47Mexico
47:17Mexico
47:23Well, Jill.
47:24We say hello. We say goodbye.
47:26So quickly.
47:28I'm sure you can't stay a few days.
47:30Oh, Charlie.
47:31I'd really like to.
47:33But there's a big race in France.
47:34And I only have a week to get over there, get my car ready and try to qualify.
47:38Can't you just miss one race?
47:40You build up points with races.
47:42Anyway, there's another reason I want to go.
47:44What's that?
47:45Well, Dino's buried near the racetrack there.
47:49I'd just like to go by and maybe visit his grave.
47:51I can't explain it.
47:52He was very dear to me.
47:57That's reason enough.
47:58Maybe the best reason of all.
48:00Obviously, we're grateful for the help.
48:03Oh, I wouldn't have missed this one for anything, Charlie.
48:05Just like old times.
48:07You will take care of my little friend here?
48:11Here's to taking care of our little friend.
48:13Hear, hear.
48:15I'll drink to that.
48:45I'll drink to that.
