♪♪

Once upon a time,

there were three
beautiful girls.

Two of them graduated
from the police academy.

The other graduated from
a top school for models.

And they each
reaped their rewards

of their exciting careers.

But I took them
away from all that

and now they work for me.

My name is Charlie.

Passengers for Lisbon
may now board Flight 116

in Gate 4.

Julie. And Kelly.

KRIS

Shall we go?

I'll go round.

Angels, meet your driver, Kono.

Hi.

Good to see you.

Everyone, how are you?

All right.

Now, you're sure we're
right about this, Pa?

That girl k*lled your mother.

She's dead and
she's gone from us.

And she's gonna pay.

Here you are, girls.

Your home away from home.

It has its own beach.

Whoo.

I may never go home.

Wow, this is beautiful.

Do you always live like this?

No. But I think it's
time we started.

Wait till you see the inside.

Oh, by the way, those
cars are registered

in our names and
in the agency name.

Bos, you think of everything.

I try. God knows I try.

And office never looked SO good.

Uh... Ooh.

It's beautiful.

Fantastic.

Bosley, this is fabulous.

We're gonna like this.

Look at that view.

Well, ahem, like you
said I may never go home.

Mm, I think I could
get used to it too.

Oh, don't you
get too used to it.

We will be going
home sooner or later.

Killjoy. Yes. Bosley
always keeps us

in touch with reality.

You mean he keeps an
eye on the bucks, huh?

Like a hawk.

It's easy to see that
none of you know anything

about the loneliness of command.

Speaking of bucks, Bos,

did you spend any on champagne?

Champagne?

Well, we have to
toast the new office.

Yeah. Not in the budget.

Well, forget it.
I'll spring for it.

I saw a market on the way up.

Bos, where are the keys?

They're on the little
table just in the entry.

Okay. Hurry back, will you?

We'll have a little splash of
the bubbly around the pool.

Okay.

Listen, I'm kind of new here,

so maybe I don't
know all the customs,

but that's a lousy
way to drive a truck.

That's true.

But I was very anxious to
speak with you, Miss Munroe.

You know my name?

Oh, I know a lot about
you, Miss Munroe.

Have we met?

No, we've never met.

But we have something in common.

Oh?

My name is Tom Grainger.

You k*lled my wife.

Ah!

Ah!

Get her!

Get her!

Get her!

Get her! Hold her!

You're coming with
us, Miss Munroe.

Who are you? What do you want?

I told you. I'm Tom Grainger,
these are my children.

And we want you, Miss Munroe.

We want you.

What time is it now?

It's 10 after 12:00.

Thank you.

Thank you, operator.

Well, she didn't
make it to the market.

And she's not
answering her car phone.

Very odd.

Hello?

Hello.

Is this the Townsend Agency?

Ah, well, yes. Yes, it is.

Oh, I think we should talk.

Well, fine. Won't
you come in, please?

Yes.

Miss Garrett, Miss Rogers.

Yeah, that's right.

I got your names from my friends

at the police department.

How can we help
you, Miss, uh...?

Uh, Willard. Eleanor Willard.

I was hoping that
I could help you.

Help us? In what way?

You have a friend.
A Miss Munroe?

Yeah. What about her?

Well, I believe she's in danger.

Well, won't you sit
down, Miss Willard,

and tell us what you mean?

No, thank you.

But I think we should take
a drive to Miss Munroe's car.

I can explain along the way.

Well, could you be
a little more specific?

No. Uh, not yet.

Could we please go?

I don't think we have much time.

Miss Willard, you
said you drove by here,

you saw Kris' car

and you sensed
something was wrong?

Yes.

But you never saw Kris?

No, no.

Never saw anyone else?

Uh, no. But I'm certain
someone has been here.

Because... Well, something angry
and very violent happened here.

Well, I know you think

that I'm acting
rather strangely,

but I don't mind, it
happens all the time.

But no matter what
you think of me,

don't let it spoil
your judgment.

Listen, I'm gonna check the car.

Look, Miss Willard, uh,

may we assume that in the past,

you have had similar intuitions?

Well, all of my life. I'm
a registered psychic.

And these intuitions
have been accurate?

Well, I have worked with
Honolulu police occasionally.

Oh, so that's how you
traced Miss Munroe's

driver's registration
to our office?

Yes. They told me
you had just arrived.

I'm gonna help Kelly. Yeah.

Uh, there's something up
here I'd like to show you.

I believe that there
was someone else here

in another vehicle.

You see, those tire
tracks, they look fresh.

It's a truck.

Possibly.

As a matter of fact, the
tread is wide and deep.

Yes, it could be a truck.

Bos, we could get
the Honolulu police lab

to do a plaster
cast of the tracks.

Yeah, it might help.

It's moving.

What?

The truck IS moving now.

Moving where?

I don't know.

But Miss Munroe is in the truck,

and she's in danger.

I'm gonna get us
something to eat.

Yeah, well, I gotta
use the ladies' room.

Okay. Ted, you watch her good.

And keep her quiet.

Mr. Grainger.

You said I k*lled your wife.
When was this? Where?

You're saying you don't...
You don't even remember?

Look, I'm saying I don't
understand any of this,

any of it.

You gotta tell me
what's going on.

Well, you think back.

You think back to three
years ago in San Francisco.

You think about that.

Maybe it'll come to you.

Three years ago in San Francisco

I was a police officer.

Then maybe you do
remember arresting my mother.

I arrested a lot of people.

Oh, I see.

She was just another name
and another face to forget.

What did your mother look like?

What was she arrested
for? What was the charge?

Well, the charge that
you put on the arrest report

was that she was a prost*tute.

A prost*tute?

That's what you said.

Well, what did the court say?

The court?

She never got to court.

She k*lled herself
in her cell that night.

k*lled herself?

We didn't even find out
what happened until last year,

and then we started
putting the pieces together

and finding out what
happened and your part in it.

And then we came
looking for you.

Look, this doesn't
make any sense.

First you tell me
that I k*lled her

and then you tell me
that she k*lled herself.

Well, you might as
well have k*lled her.

You gave her no choice.

You arrested her and you
said those things about her.

You gave her no choice. She...

Just don't say any more
until my father comes back.

You just wait until
my father gets back.

Just be quiet.

Right now we're dusting Kris'
car for fingerprints, Charlie,

and taking a plaster
cast of the tire tracks.

Did you check out this
woman, Eleanor Willard?

Yes. And she seems to be legit.

The Honolulu police

have consulted her
on two occasions.

Ah. Did she help them?

Well, they said that
there was no way

to properly evaluate
her contribution.

And how do evaluate
her contribution, Bosley?

I don't know, Charlie.

I just don't know.

But I'll stay in touch.

What's our next move, Bos?

Well, until the lab men
come up with something,

Miss Willard is
our one link to Kris.

Could you take me to
Miss Munroe's home?

Her home?

Well, I want to see
where she lives.

Well, at the moment, all her
luggage is back at the office.

Well, I... I'd like to see
some of her personal things.

Now, let's get
something very clear.

I can't help you
unless you trust me.

All right, we'll take you there.

What do you think you're doing?

She's gotta eat.

No, she don't.

Why waste food on a dead person?

Dead person.

How can I make you trust me?

Miss Willard, try to understand

we appreciate
everything you're doing.

It's just that in
our profession,

we only know
how to deal in facts.

And your approach,
it's very difficult for us.

Well, Miss Garrett, it's
very difficult for me too.

I like to keep very
much to myself.

I think the world
is a very difficult

and violent place.

Well, then why
are you doing this?

Why are you helping us?

If I can, I must.

I'm sure you'd do the same thing

if you were in my position.

Miss Willard.

This is very important.

Hansel and Gretel?

This is very important
to Miss Munroe.

Is that true?

Yes.

Her mother gave it to her.

She considers it
a good luck charm.

She takes it with her
wherever she goes.

What does that mean?
How can that help?

Well, I don't know.

We'll see.

But we can go now.

Go where?

Well, I'm not sure.
We'll just drive.

You beginning to put it
together, Miss Munroe?

Three years ago
in San Francisco,

I worked Vice for two weeks.

Our team picked up several women

in the Fillmore district,

and I remember signing
the arrest report that night.

Fillmore district.

That's right.

We got the information on that.

Look, Mr. Grainger, look, I
don't remember your wife.

And you've gotta understand
these women were booked

under suspicion of prostitution.

It was up to a court to decide.

I knew it.

You're running true
to form, aren't you?

You're putting the
blame on somebody else.

You with your nice clothes.

You're running true to form.

Money in the bank.

You don't care who you hurt

as long as you
get what you want.

You seem to know me very well.

Yes, I do.

I was coming looking for you.

Mm-hm. A stroke of luck.

I found out that you
were coming here.

This all happened
three years ago.

What took you so
long to figure it out?

That's of no concern to you.

Wait. A few minutes ago,
you said I was a dead person.

If you're gonna k*ll me,

you could at least
fill in the details.

I mean, if you live in Hawaii,

why was your wife running
around in San Francisco?

Look, I told you, it's
none of your concern!

It's none of your business!

You stop talking!

Your friend is still
moving in the truck.

There seems to be
a light ahead of her.

A light?

Yes. It's a... It's very
large and very bright.

The sun.

That could be.

All right, we'll head west.

Stop the truck!

Get her!

She's over here!

Hold it!

You're gonna die, Miss Munroe.

But I'll choose
the time, not you.

Put her in the truck.

Lady, get up.

"Suddenly Gretel stood up.

"Oh, Hansel she said,

"it's getting so dark.

"I do not see our
father and mother.

"Now we are really lost.'

"Don't be afraid, Gretel.

"I scattered breadcrumbs
along our path.

"Wait until the moon comes out,

"and I shall find the way home.

"Don't be afraid, Gretel.

"I scattered breadcrumbs
along our path.

"Bread crumbs along our path.

Breadcrumbs..."

I wanna tell you something.

I'm listening.

My father is not a bad man.

He sure does a good
impersonation of one.

He just hurts inside.

He's been hurting
for a long time.

But you have to understand
that he is not a bad man.

When did your mother leave you?

She did leave you, didn't she?

Was your father mean to her?

No.

Did he chase her away?

My father loved my mother.

How often did he b*at her, Ted?

Only when she hurt him.

He would hit all
of us sometimes.

That didn't mean
that he didn't love us.

He didn't want her
to go. He loved her.

Sometimes that isn't enough.

When you were in San Francisco,

why did you do
that to my mother?

Why did you say
those things about her?

Ted, listen to me.

Whatever your mother
was, whatever she became,

it didn't have
anything to do with you

or your father or
your sister or me.

People have to make
their own choices.

You have to make a choice.

What do you mean?

Well, your father said
I was a dead person.

Are you gonna be part of that?

I know he said that,
but he didn't mean it.

He'll probably just
think about it for a while.

But he'll change his mind.

He wouldn't do that.

He's just confused.

Like me.

No. I don't think he
is anything like you.

Well, something's changed.

What do you mean?

I'm not sure.

It's got something
to do with this book

and this picture.

But we're getting closer.

You mean this road
is getting us closer?

Yes. And this is the only road
in the area that heads west.

Well, then, what is
it? What's changed?

I...

Well, I think I see
the breadcrumbs.

Breadcrumbs?

Yes. I see a white line.

What do you mean a white line?

Well, I see a white line.

Where? What is the line?

It's from Miss Munroe.

What does it mean?

Well, it may mean her life.

We're almost to
where we're going.

And where would
that be, Mr. Grainger?

End of the line, Miss Munroe.

End of the line.

Come on, get in here.

Charlene, you and Ted
start watering the place, now.

Well, if there's gonna
be a discussion,

I wanna hear it.

I gotta have some private
time with Miss Munroe.

The chores gotta be done.
Nothing will change that.

Get at it!

You heard me, boy?

Now...

what was you...?

What were you saying
to my boy in the truck?

Nothing you'd
understand, Mr. Grainger.

You were trying to turn my
boy against me, weren't you?

Well, you didn't figure I'd be
throwing any roses your way.

Oh, boy.

You're something.

You are really
something, Miss Munroe.

First, you get my wife k*lled,

and then you try to turn my son,

my only son, against me?

Just stop it!

I told your son
and I'll tell you,

your wife d*ed
out of her choice,

not mine.

And if you're looking
for somebody to blame,

you can blame yourself.

That woman, she
ran out on me, on us.

Yeah, well, most women
who get beaten do.

You better be quiet.

I'm telling you,
you better be quiet.

Oh, you can sh**t me
with that g*n, Mr. Grainger,

but before you do,
you're gonna know

that I think you are a
self-pitying coward and a liar.

Be quiet! I tell you be quiet!

You lie to yourself,
you lie to your kids.

Your kids live in terror of you.

They live in terror of you

and your wife probably
lived in terror of you.

And I have lived in
terror of you all day.

And in short, Mr. Grainger,
you can go straight to hell.

It's really odd, you know?

What do you mean?

I mean, a few days
ago, I was alone.

And then all of a sudden,
we're here together.

And now, I'm
being torn up inside

about a girl I hardly even know.

Well, you can get to
like Kris very quickly.

I remember I did.

If anything happens to her...

Look, nothing's happened.

We've gotta believe that, okay?

Okay.

Hey, thanks.

For what?

For caring.

It's okay. Yeah.

What's wrong? Just slow down.

What is it, Eleanor?

Slow down, please.

Eleanor, are you okay?

Your friend has been here.

How do you know?

I just know.

Well, when? How long ago?

It was just recently.

And there was more v*olence.

Are you saying she was hurt?

I don't know.

Kelly, Bos, look.

It looks like Kris' purse.

Bos, what's that?

That's the line.

The white line I saw.

What does it mean?

It means we're getting
closer. Just follow it.

I...

I was very good to my wife.

Mary. I...

Even sometimes
she'd get discouraged,

and she needed persuading.

But, uh, I was fair.

Fair.

But sometimes,
Mary would get mad.

And, well, she'd run out on us.

Me and the kids.

But she'd al...

She'd always come back.

Always.

Exc...

Except the last time

when you didn't
give her a chance to.

I'm sorry, I...

I didn't know.

No. No.

No, don't say that
you're sorry to me.

Oh, no.

You already told me
what you think of me.

You don't like me.

But that doesn't matter.

I mean, it doesn't
change anything.

You are still responsible.

Hey.

Come back! Come back!

Drop that thing and help, Ted!

Come on! Come
on, you idiot! Get her!

Get her! Find her!

Now what? Straight
or to the left?

Where, Eleanor? Which direction?

Well, I don't know,
but she's close.

She's very, very close.

Bos, let's split up.

You and Julie take
the car straight,

circle the area.

Eleanor and I will go left
and meet you coming round.

All right, well, be careful.

All right.

Hey. There she is!

Jump on!

Come back here!

Come back!

Hold it!

I don't know who you are,

but you've got about two seconds

to drop that g*n.

And one of them's already gone.

Turn around.

Are you all right? Oh, yeah.

Oh.

Oh, Kelly.

I'm okay.

The one in the truck helped
me. Will you see if he's all right?

Who are you?

I'm a friend.

I know.

Well, I can see that this
is gonna be a big problem.

A problem? What do you mean?

All this indecision.

Should we spend the day
at the beach or at the pool?

I like it.

That kind of problem
I can live with.

Well, hello.

Hi. KRIS: Hi.

Eleanor, what a nice surprise.

I hope you don't mind
my dropping by like this.

Oh, mind? Are you kidding?

You're our very first visitor.

And I couldn't think of
anyone more welcome.

Neither could I.

Well, I'm so
grateful to all of you

that I just wanted to
stop by and tell you that.

Grateful to us?

I think you have that backwards.

You saved my life.

Well, in a way, all four
of you saved my life too.

I don't think I follow you.

Well, I've always kept
pretty much to myself,

and I've told myself
that I like it that way.

But the truth is that
everybody needs friends.

And people they can be close to.

Well, I hope you know
you'll always be our friend.

I think we should
all drink to that.

I Think so. - Okay.

Oh, Eleanor, you know what?

We do need a tour guide.

A tour guide?

Right. You are looking
at four very touristy types.

And since you know
the island, right?

Yes, I do.

Then you are our guide.

Oh, that's going to please me.

The most important
thing is, uh...

Where's the best place to shop?
