03x10 - Angel on My Mind

[bunniefuu]

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.

Thank you.

That's plenty. Thank you.

Does Bosley's arm have a cramp, or
is he actually reaching for his wallet?

My dear Angels, you
performed even beyond your

usual degree of
excellence on our last case.

So it is only fair that I reach
ever so quickly for the check.

But, Kelly, I am crushed to think
that you would think that I would not.

Oh, well, Bosley, I'm
deeply, deeply sorry.

Don't be so
deeply, deeply sorry.

It's going on the
expense account.

Oh, Kris, my love, that
is a cruel stroke but true.

Hmm. Listen. I've got to get going.
I have an appointment with Pierre.

Who's Pierre? Pierre runs
his fingers through her hair.

- Her hairdresser?
- Bosley, you're becoming
more perceptive every year.

Hmm?

You didn't notice...
My new jacket,

- my new scarf, my new bag.
- We noticed.

- I love that new bag.
- Isn't this nice?

Oh, I got to go. I'm
parked out back.

Okay, but don't forget...
Tomorrow, the office, 10:00.

- 10:00.
- Maybe we'll go out
to the beach afterwards, huh?

Ah, the beach. That'd
be great. I'd love it.

Maybe I'll buy a new bikini.

Hey, Burton, let it go.

Come on, Burton! Forget it!

I thought I told you never
to come back here again.

What you did... was bad, Jarvis.

I'm a customer. I
spend money here!

You shouldn't have called the
police. You were drunk and mean.

Now you better get out of
here before I call the police.

♪♪

Hey!

Come on! You out of your mind?

Get in!

Hey, hold it!

Burton. What are
you gonna do now?

She's seen me. I'm gonna
make sure. Listen, you crazy?

Hey, lady! You crazy? You
trying to get yourself k*lled?

Paper, lady?

You know, lady, there are
easier ways to hail a cab.

Still no sign of her, Bosley?

Nothing, Charlie. I
haven't heard a word.

Oh, wait a second.
Sabrina's back.

Yeah, also with nothing.
Checked her house. She's not there.

Car isn't there.
Talked to her neighbor.

And? Said she might not have
even come home last night.

Angels, it's not like
Kris to just disappear.

Was she upset about anything
when she left you at the restaurant?

No, she was fine.
As a matter of fact,

She had an appointment
to have her hair done.

I called her hairdresser. She
didn't keep the appointment.

I think we've got to face the
fact that Kris may be in trouble.

- Okay, how do we find her?
- I'll file
a missing persons report...

with the police, and
meanwhile, I suggest

you all start looking
where you last saw her.

The restaurant. Good a place as
any. We'll keep in touch, Charlie.

Please do. Every minute.

Kris. Kris, come on, honey.
You're too close to the water.

Kris. Kris, come on, honey.

You're too close to
the water. Come on.

Hi. Hello. Hi.

We were in here yesterday.
There was another

girl with us, and we're
trying to find out...

where she went when she left
here or if she came back here.

Yeah, so could we talk to
the owner or the manager?

Jarvis? Not likely. He's dead.

Dead? Yeah.
Yesterday afternoon...

somebody caved his head
in out in the rear parking lot.

In fact, the police are
out there again today...

trying to figure out what
happened. Thank you very much.

Oh, uh, excuse me, Officer. Yes.

Uh, we're from the
Townsend Agency.

What can I do for you? Well, we're
looking for one of our people, and...

Bosley. There's her car.

- Locked.
- What do you think that means?

- Guess she never got in.
- Well, then,
how did she leave here?

- I don't know.
- Maybe we should ask around.

Excuse me. Hi.

We were, uh, wondering if
you're a regular around here.

- Who wants to know?
- Oh, I'm sorry,
I'm Sabrina Duncan.

This is Kelly Garrett.
We're looking for a friend.

The last time we saw her was here.
We thought if you were a regular,

maybe you might have seen
her. That's her car over there.

Yeah. When was it
you lost track of her?

Yesterday around 4:00.

Her name is Kris Munroe.

We're awfully
anxious to find her.

Do you think you
might've seen her?

Yeah, I think I did.
Nice-lookin' lady.

- When?
- Yesterday afternoon.

Well, did you... Did
you see her out here...

or, uh... or inside
there? Out here.

- It was about 4:00.
- What was she doing?

- Just standing around, I think.
- Standing around?

- Wa-Was she talking to anyone?
- Yeah.

Big guy, sort of mean lookin'.

- You wouldn't happen
to know who he was?
- No.

But I know a lot of the people
that hang out around here.

Maybe I could
ask around for you.

Terrific. Do you have
a phone number?

Townsend Detective...

- You ladies detectives?
- Yeah.

That number can get us at home or
at our office or, if need be, in our cars.

Okay. I'll keep in touch.

Oh, my name's
Burton... Ted Burton.

Thank you very much,
Mr. Burton. We appreciate your help.

Nice to be appreciated. I'll
check with you later. Okay.

I don't know if it
was just an odd

coincidence we've got
here or something else.

Why? What did the officer say?

Well, the owner, Mr. Jarvis,
was apparently robbed.

He d*ed from a blow on the head
sometime yesterday afternoon.

Maybe around
4:00? Possibly. Why?

Well, we just talked to a fella who
thinks he saw Kris here around that time.

Do the police have a
suspect? No, not yet.

But with Kris's disappearance
and the k*lling both the same time,

I-I just don't
like the feel of it.

Neither do I.

There you go. Thank you.

Pardon me. Uh, Times or Herald?

I need a little conversation.
There's no profit in conversation.

There might be this time.
We're looking for this girl.

Ah, that's the one.

Then you've seen
her? Everybody saw her.

She wandered into the middle of
the street and almost got hit by a taxi.

- Wait a minute. Are you sure it was her?
- Do I look like a liar?

No, you don't look like
a liar. Was she hurt?

- No. She was a lucky type.
- Do you happen - to know where she went?

Yeah. She got in the
taxi that almost hit her.

Did you notice the name
of the cab company?

Uh, Allied Cab
services this area.

Friend, you're a prince.
Thank you. Thank you.

Hey, you want a paper? No, no.
Here. Here's for a year's subscription.

Thanks.

This is a pleasant
surprise, ma'am.

Ma'am?

My name is Jimmy No
need to be scared, ma'am.

I'm just tryin' to be friendly.

Goin' for a walk, are you?

What's your name?

Come on. You got a name.

What is it?

Kris? Kris, come out now.

Kris.

- My name is Kris.
- Well, Kris.

Welcome to my home.
Come on. Sit down.

It's all right. Sit
right down there.

I'm fixin' up some
stew. You hungry?

- Yes. Thank you.
- Oh, good. It's purt near done.

It's nice havin' company.

We could be friends. Okay?

All right.

Hello?

Thank you.

Hi. Uh, you're Mel. Yeah.

Could we talk to you
for just a second, please?

Well, make it a short second.
I'm headin' for a tall beer.

According to your dispatcher, you
picked up a fare yesterday around 4:00...

at the newsstand
on Sixth and Avery.

Could you tell
me, is this the girl?

Yeah, that's her.

I nearly ran her down.

The dispatcher says you
dropped her at the beach?

- Yeah, finally.
- What do you mean, "finally"?

Well, she wouldn't talk. She
didn't know where she wanted to go.

So I said, "Should I just
drive?" And she nods.

So I keep driving. Goin' by the
beach, all of a sudden, she wanted out.

I mean, I think she wanted
out. She started to open the door.

- You mean when
the cab was moving?
- Yeah!

So I hit the brakes, told her
the fare... She just stared at me.

"Money," I said. "Money."

She handed me a $50 bill, didn't wait
for the change and walked off in the sand.

Could you tell us exactly
where you dropped her off?

Uh, about half a mile north
of the Sea Crest restaurant.

Did she appear to be
injured or hurt in any way?

Nothing you could see, but,

yeah, there was
something wrong with her.

Look, I-I gotta go.
I hope you find her.

She looked like a
lady in big trouble.

Excuse me. Uh, thanks very much.

Yeah. What is it?

Mm-mmm. What's happened to her?

Well, like he says,
she's in trouble. Let's go.

It ain't very good, is it?

I like the good stuff,
but I-I can't afford it.

Oh, no. It's good.

Really, I appreciate it.

You know something? What?

You're a very nice man.

What do you want?

We were lookin'
at the lady's purse.

You see, we sort of
come on hard times.

And the lady looks like she could
afford to... lend a hand to a brother.

Hey!

Uh, lady,

you wanna keep your lousy
purse that bad, you can have it.

Hey, let's go.

Let's go! Wow! You're
some kind of woman!

Where'd you learn
to fight like that?

What you doin' with that g*n?

Hey!

Where you goin'?

Kris, don't cry!

Stay with me!

I'll be your friend!

Where do we start?

Hey. What's the matter?

Look at the scarf
that kid's wearing.

Yeah, it looks like the
one that Kris was wearing.

Excuse me. We're
looking for a friend.

- Yeah? Well, who is it?
- We think she came this way.

Haven't seen her.

- You mind telling me something?
- It depends.

- Why are you lying?
- You got bad manners, lady.

And an impatient nature.
That's her scarf you're wearing.

Hey, this is my g*n! And I've
got an impatient nature too!

- Sabrina, you're not gonna
sh**t somebody else today?
- Hey, easy. Easy!

Hey, look. We didn't
do your friend no harm.

As a matter of fact, she kicked the
hell out of us. Then she pulled a g*n.

- We were just clowning around.
- Okay, then where is she?

She's about a mile down the beach.
She's with some old man in a tent.

- Gimme your wallet.
- Is this a stickup?

Your wallet!

Joe Hicks, Alvarado Street.

If you're lying to us, or you've
hurt our friend, Mr. Hicks,

we'll be seeing you.

Now get out of here.

Let's go.

I got it! I got it!

Hey, look at that.

He said, an old
guy in a tent. ♪♪

Yeah, sounds like he got out of
the tent and into the bottle. Let's see.

You three again!

Well, I'll teach you to
mess with me and Kris!

I'll teach you! I'll
teach you good!

You three fellas...

You scared away my friend, Kris!

Well, you ain't gonna scare
me! Okay, drop it, drop it.

Drop it. Ooh. Wha...

What you do to him? I
didn't touch him! Whoo!

- I think it was the wine.
- Did I hear him mention
Kris's name?

Yeah, but we're gonna have to
wake him up before we can talk to him.

Wonder how long
that's gonna take?

Well, from the number of
bottles, I'd say it'll be a while.

Hello there. Hello.

How long you been sitting there?

- I don't know.
- You don't know?

- A while.
- Are you all right?

- I think so.
- What's your name?

Kris. Kris.

Nice name. What's
your last name?

Kris what?

- I don't know.
- What's going on?

We've got food over there. Something
to drink. Would you like to join us?

Good. Come on.

Hello?

Who?

Oh, yes, Mr. Burton.
H-How are you?

I'm fine. You asked me to
call you about your friend...

What's her name? Kris?

- Your answering service
gave me this number.
- Do you have anything?

I might. Maybe we should talk.

Uh, I can't hear you.
This is a bad connection.

It seems that we've
got a bad connection.

Where are you at?
I'll meet you there.

Uh, we're at the beach. We're going
to a restaurant to, uh, sober up a friend.

The Sea Crest. Do
you know where it is?

I think I do.

I'm at my apartment
in Santa Monica.

- I'll be there in 15 minutes.
- Okay. Bye.

Feelin' any better? No,
I'm not feeling any better!

I feel better when I'm drunk!

How come you people
don't understand that?

Well, we're trying to. Jimmy,
where did you get the g*n?

A lady gave it to me.

Uh, tell me something.

Was this the lady?

That's her! That's Kris!

Well, Kris! I see
you're making progress.

Hello. Hi. Hi.

Would you like some
coffee? Yeah, thanks.

You said you had something
for me? Well, it's not much.

I... I talked to this woman...

who thought she saw
your friend walking away...

from the restaurant around 5:00.

Oh, well, we already found out
that she took a cab here to the beach.

She apparently spent some
time with this gentleman.

- Oh.
- I liked Kris. We could've been friends.

Jimmy, why did
you have Kris's g*n?

Well, there was these three
dang young fools come by,

and they tried to
get at her purse.

She had a fight with 'em.

Then she pulled out this g*n.

- Was she hurt in this fight?
- No!

After she run 'em off, though,

- she started into crying.
- She started crying?

Yes, she started to crying,

and she dropped the g*n.

- And then she wandered off.
- Which way'd she go?

- Down.
- Down?

Down the beach!

You mean, she-she
went... she went south.

Yeah, south.

Looks like you're doing all
right without any help from me.

I've got a, uh,
meeting to go to.

Oh, I appreciate your coming.

There aren't many people who would
go out of their way for total strangers.

You're a very
nice man. I guess...

we gotta just do what
we have to, huh? Hmm.

- Maybe I'll call you later
and see how you're doing.
- That would be fine.

Okay. So long.

Good luck. Thank you.

Hi. I just talked to Charlie.

He's been trying to get some more
details on the k*lling at the restaurant.

Anyone know why
the man was k*lled?

Robbery, I guess,
was the motive.

He was carrying the week's
receipts to the bank for deposit.

Do the police have any
leads? No, nothing yet.

But there was an incident about a
week ago when the owner, Jarvis,

got in a beef with a patron
who made some threats.

Charlie's gonna check and see if
he can get more details on that too.

Did you, uh, get anything out
of him? Oh, yeah, he saw her.

She had a fight with those
three guys that we ran into.

He says she headed south.
Well, then I guess we head south.

You want a ride home, Jimmy?

Well, you ain't gonna leave me here
surrounded by all this coffee, are you?

Hello. It's Charlie.

The police found out who it
was that got into that argument...

with Jarvis, the
restaurant owner.

- They sent over a copy
of his file.
- He has a police record?

Nothing major... creating a
disturbance in a public place,

one as*ault and battery
charge... dropped.

Apparently he's a
rather ill-tempered fellow.

- Well, have they
questioned him?
- They will when they find him.

You mean, he's disappeared?

Well, I don't know
if he's disappeared.

He wasn't at his apartment in
Santa Monica a few minutes ago.

Wait a minute, Charlie. You said
his apartment's in Santa Monica?

- Mm-hmm. Why?
- Did you get this man's name?

Uh, yes. Burton... Ted Burton.

- Are you sure?
- Yes. Why?

Charlie, Ted Burton is
the man I told you we met...

at Jarvis's restaurant... The
one who's been helping us.

That coincidence
disturbs me, Kelly.

It scares the
daylights out of me,

especially since 15 minutes
ago Burton was with us,

- and he knows where
Kris was last headed.
- Where are you now?

We're just leaving the restaurant.
Maybe you could call the police...

and have them put
out an A.P.B. on Burton.

Consider it done. His license, in case
you happen to see him, is 108 EMU.

108 EMU. Okay, we'll
get back to you, Charlie.

Listen, uh, Jimmy. Would
you mind, uh, grabbin' a cab?

That should cover the fare
with a bit to spare, okay?

I know right where to get one,

♪♪

♪♪

♪♪

Medium-well okay?

What? Medium-well all right?

Oh, thanks.

Kris, I know you're in
trouble. I don't know what kind,

but I'd like to help...

if I can. I'm supposed
to meet somebody.

Some friends, I think.
Who are these friends?

I don't know, Tommy. Tommy?

I'm not Tommy. My name's Brad.

I'm sorry.

Tommy was somebody
I knew in college.

We were very good friends.

You look like him.

College. But where
have you been lately?

I think I've been in
some angry places.

What do you mean,
"angry places"?

I don't know.

I'm not feeling very
well. I'm sort of...

I feel sort of tired.
I think I should go.

So who's stopping you?

I mean, who invited you anyway?

I did.

No, really, I-I think I should
go. You don't have to leave.

I think this is
another angry place.

Kris, you don't have to leave.
My friends are waiting for me.

You don't even
remember who they are.

Well, I think I'm beginning to.

Can I drive you somewhere?

It's okay. Actually, I
have some thinking to do.

Thank you. Good-bye.

Bye-bye.

Hold it!

Hey, I... Let me
have that, Kris.

- Okay, but don't forget
tomorrow... the office, 10:00.
- 10:00.

Yeah, maybe then afterwards
we'll go out to the beach, huh?

Hey, wait. Ho-Hold
it, Bos. Pull over.

108 EMU. That's Burton's car.

Kris! Come on. Let's go.

Hey!

Stop!

Oh, Kelly! Are you all right?

What happened? Bree! Oh!

Oh, I'm so glad to see ya!

Well, Angels, the police have
booked Burton for m*rder.

And, Kris, they're ready
to hear your statement...

whenever you're
ready to give it.

I'm ready now, Charlie. Good.

And everything is
clear again, huh?

I guess so. "I guess so"?

Well, that worries me
a little. Maybe you need

a couple of days' rest
or a complete physical.

No, Bosley. All the
details are clear.

It's just that...

Wait a minute. Wait
a minute. Just what?

I don't know.

Well, when I was
wandering around out there,

I kept remembering my childhood.

How was it?

It was nice.

It was sort of peaceful.

I liked remembering it.

I'd like to go back, but
I guess I can't, can I?

No, Kris. You can't.

But for what it's worth,
you're loved here...

a lot.

A lot.

Well, it was an
interesting trip.

But it's nice to be home.

- To coming home.
- To coming home.

Thanks.
