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.
01:00And I'm Charlie.
01:02And I'm Charlie.
01:04And I'm Charlie.
01:06And I'm Charlie.
01:08And I'm Charlie.
01:10And I'm Charlie.
01:12And I'm Charlie.
01:14And I'm Charlie.
01:16And I'm Charlie.
01:18And I'm Charlie.
01:20And I'm Charlie.
01:22And I'm Charlie.
01:24And I'm Charlie.
01:26And I'm Charlie.
01:41Screaming
01:45Screaming
01:47Telephone ringing
01:51Hello?
01:53Hi, Bosley.
01:57Now?
01:59Yeah, uh-huh. Okay, I'll tell him.
02:02Yeah.
02:04Well, we're supposed to go to the office in one hour.
02:07We have a case out of town.
02:09What?
02:10Oh, no. Out of town?
02:13Oh, what about the party tonight, huh?
02:16Looks like it's down the tubes.
02:17No way. Listen, we'll just tell Charlie we've been planning this party for weeks.
02:21And we'll start the case tomorrow.
02:23And then he will politely tell us to unplan the party.
02:26No, he can't do that. Not if we stick together.
02:29That's true. There's safety in numbers.
02:31It'll work.
02:32Well, okay. What are we gonna feed all these people?
02:36Well, I don't know, but whatever it is, we better have enough for people with big appetites.
02:40Because remember that guy I met, Jerry? Remember him?
02:42Yeah.
02:43He's gonna bring over some players from the Rams.
02:46Oh, I hope Joe Namath comes. I really do.
02:49Bree, what time is it?
02:51It's, uh, yeah, it's nearly 10.30.
02:54Hey, we better get to the office.
02:56Listen, I think I'll stick around just for a few minutes anyway.
02:59Betsy Harper was supposed to come by and sell me those cosmetics.
03:02I don't think she's gonna make it, Chris. You know, I think she'd have been here by now.
03:06Well, uh, listen, let me look around the beach just for a few minutes.
03:09She really needs the money.
03:11Okay, but don't be late. You know how Charlie is about being on time.
03:14Oh, please, Chris, you know I don't want to hear Bosley's time is money speech.
03:17Time is money.
03:19Hurry up. Hurry.
03:20Okay.
03:43Rancona was investigating the so-called Sandcastle murders,
03:48revealed that yesterday's victim, the second in less than three weeks,
03:52also died of strangulation.
03:54Police noted that both victims were somewhat similar in appearance,
03:57and one source referred to them as look-alike killings.
04:01Now to look at today's weather.
04:18Hey, you don't own me. I'm doing my thing, that's all.
04:47Now, see, that's just what I mean. Now, when have I ever tried to own you?
04:52Okay, all right. I'm sorry. I'm just a little uptight.
04:59Been taking care of business? Because, babe, you look kind of white.
05:04It's sweet of you to care, Hank, but I'm okay.
05:12Except for that.
05:18That is so creepy. I'm using those things right on top of us.
05:24I feel like I'm under a microscope.
05:26Manny's a real hulk, isn't he?
05:31Why don't you tell one of the beach cops? Tell Dave.
05:34Uh-uh, no way.
05:35Why not? What's the matter?
05:37Oh, just forget it, okay?
05:40Nancy!
05:48Hey, I thought you were going to come by and sell me those cosmetics.
05:51Oh, I'm sorry.
05:53It's okay.
05:55Actually, I was coming to see you about something else.
05:59Seeing as you're a detective and everything, I thought you could help me.
06:03Well, sure, how can I help you?
06:06Well, if somebody saw something that wasn't definite,
06:09you know, you didn't actually see them do it or anything,
06:13but it could be important.
06:15Wait a minute. Do what?
06:17Oh, I don't know if I should tell anyone or not.
06:20I'll get the person hassled, and I might get myself in trouble.
06:26Okay, now, was it a crime?
06:28For sure.
06:30Why?
06:32Well, I think you should tell the police.
06:34Oh, no, no.
06:36I'm not in trouble or anything, but, uh,
06:39Chris, I've been on my own since I was 14, and...
06:42Betsy, look, I want to help you, honey, but you're making it hard.
06:47Yeah, yeah, I guess you're right.
06:50I'll tell you what.
06:51Why don't I go up, and I'll put on a pot of coffee, and we'll talk about this.
06:54No, no, I gotta go.
06:56Betsy!
06:58Let me help you!
07:01Let me help you!
07:08Hi, Kelly, Marie.
07:10Hi, Buzz.
07:11Where's Chris?
07:12She'll be along soon.
07:14Yeah, well, I hope so.
07:16You know how Charlie is about punctuality.
07:20Do you hear me?
07:22Better answer that, Buzz, or he might be the phone.
07:28Hello, Charlie.
07:29Good morning, Bosley. Angels?
07:32Morning, Charlie.
07:33Morning, Charlie.
07:34All present and accounted for?
07:36Oh, yeah.
07:37Yeah, all here, Charlie. We're all here.
07:40Well, then, let's get down to business.
07:42Assuming everyone's had lunch.
07:45Sabrina?
07:47Yeah, Charlie, I've, uh, I've eaten.
07:50Kelly?
07:51Uh, ditto, Charlie.
07:53Chris?
07:54Listen, Charlie, there have been a couple of calls this morning.
07:57Chris?
07:58Me, too, Charlie.
08:00And ready to go to work?
08:02Yeah. I mean, no, Charlie.
08:05Charlie, what she means is...
08:08You see, we've been planning this party for weeks.
08:12And, uh...
08:13No, no, that's not what I mean.
08:15It isn't.
08:16Oh, man, she was so scared.
08:18And it was like she knew something.
08:20Maybe about the murders.
08:22And I don't know.
08:24She was so lost.
08:25And I was the only person that she could talk to,
08:28only I couldn't get through to her.
08:30Slow down, Chris.
08:31Translation, someone, please.
08:33Uh, what are you talking about?
08:35Who was so scared about what murder?
08:37Are you talking about the Sandcastle murders?
08:39Yes.
08:40Betsy Harper?
08:42Oh, if your friend has something,
08:44tell her to give it to Lieutenant Francona.
08:46He needs all the help he can get.
08:48Well, I told her she should report it, Charlie,
08:50but she's really afraid.
08:52She's really afraid, and, you know,
08:54she's just one of those beach kids.
08:56About the deal at hand, Charlie,
08:58it's a very lucrative deal, you know,
09:00the one in Palm Springs.
09:01Did you feel that she was genuinely frightened, Angel?
09:04Aw, Charlie, she was scared to death.
09:07In that case, you'd best go back and find out why.
09:10What about the new assignment?
09:11We won't worry about that now.
09:13Off you go, Angel.
09:15Okay.
09:16Charlie, I love you.
09:18Um, uh...
09:20Gina, Kelly,
09:21maybe one of you ought to keep her company.
09:23You're a good guy, Charlie.
09:25I'd like to tell you that to your face someday.
09:27Charlie.
09:28Yes, you may go, too.
09:29Thank you, Charlie.
09:33I know, Bosley.
09:35Time is money.
09:38Hey.
09:41Hi, can I talk to you for a minute?
09:43Sure can.
09:46Hey, are you Jill's sister?
09:48Hi, Chris.
09:50Dave Christopher.
09:51Nice to meet you.
09:52Same. I've seen you on the beach a few times since you moved in,
09:54but this is the first time I got lucky.
09:57Hey, listen, I'm looking for a kid named Betsy Harper.
09:59Have you seen her around?
10:00She's kind of important.
10:02I don't think I know her.
10:03Is she in trouble?
10:05No.
10:06I talked to her this morning.
10:07She seemed kind of spooked.
10:09Everybody who hangs out at the beach is
10:11because of this sandcastle business.
10:12Want me to help you look?
10:15No, thanks.
10:18Thanks.
10:27He's a big dude.
10:29Muscle beach type.
10:30Had an eagle tattoo here.
10:32And I think, I think he drives a blue van,
10:34but I don't know his name.
10:36Chris said you used to go out with Betsy.
10:38Yeah, some.
10:40What broke it up?
10:41She started messing around with this guy
10:43old enough to be her old man.
10:45You know, daddy cool, a lot of bucks.
10:47Do you know his name?
10:49He's a sales manager
10:50at the cosmetic company she works for.
10:52His name's Fallon.
10:53Larry, Barry, or something.
10:55Tell me, if I found him when I find her?
10:58I think you bounced her.
11:00I'll tell you what you might try, though.
11:02The lady that owns the company,
11:03her name's Melissa Rossiter.
11:05Now, she's got a beach house
11:06a mile or two up that way.
11:08High rent district.
11:10Well, why would Betsy be there now?
11:12Whenever she's broke or would come unglued,
11:16she'd go up there
11:17and the nice lady would let her crash.
11:20Thanks, Hank.
11:21You've been a lot of help.
11:22Hey, listen.
11:23I'd ask you out for dinner or something,
11:25but you probably carry a gun,
11:27and I don't believe in violence.
11:30Well, I understand,
11:32and I'll try to live with it.
11:36Hey, Chris!
11:39I think I've got something.
11:41A house up the beach,
11:42a lady named Melissa Rossiter.
11:43Come on, let's go.
11:46Let's go.
11:58Kelly?
12:17It's an old bracelet of mine.
12:22I gave it to Betsy.
12:27Kelly?
12:47Another look-alike, Lieutenant?
12:49Enough similarity for a nut.
12:51How was she killed?
12:52It was strangled, like the others.
12:55Somebody strong.
12:57Well, that figures.
12:58He'd, uh, he'd have to put her away fast
13:01in a public place like this.
13:03So you two work for Charlie Townsend, huh?
13:06Charlie Townsend?
13:07Yeah.
13:08He's a good guy.
13:09He's a good guy.
13:10He's a good guy.
13:11He's a good guy.
13:12He's a good guy.
13:13He's a good guy.
13:14You work for Charlie Townsend, huh?
13:16That's right.
13:17There's only three things in this world I hate.
13:19Cabbage, rot-gut whiskey, and your boss.
13:21Why do you hate Charlie?
13:23Well, Charlie and me started off together as beat cops.
13:27Today he's got a Rolls Royce,
13:28and I got a bleeding ulcer.
13:30Does that answer your question?
13:34Uh, Dave?
13:36Yeah.
13:37When was the last time you passed this area on patrol?
13:40Oh, uh, an hour ago.
13:42Nothing suspicious?
13:43No, negative.
13:45Then you had to be the last one to see her alive.
13:48Betsy's killer was the last person to see her alive.
13:51If I want the cutes, honey, I'll turn on TV, okay?
13:54You got any idea who's following her?
13:57I didn't even know the girl.
13:58I'd have to ask Ben.
14:00Well.
14:03You two know a lot about this case for a couple of amateurs.
14:06Look, we don't know anything more than anybody would know
14:09spending an hour on this beach.
14:11I'll spend my hour and a few more hours.
14:15In the meantime, you'll answer my questions.
14:18How come you're looking for a girl
14:20about the same time she gets herself killed?
14:23We suspected she was in trouble,
14:25and she looked a little like the other victims.
14:27Yeah, but she didn't say anything about the Sandcastle murders, did she?
14:31No, not exactly.
14:33It's just instinct.
14:34If you want to ask us any more questions, you'll have to hold us.
14:37Let's get out of here. Come on.
14:41Come on.
14:49I let Betsy stay here occasionally,
14:51but I can't really say I knew her.
14:55Oh, I feel terrible.
14:58She was... she was such a child.
15:01I'm sorry, I don't understand.
15:03You said she worked for you, she stayed here, and you didn't know her?
15:08Would you like a drink?
15:10No.
15:11Well, frankly, I could use one.
15:15You've got to understand where I am coming from.
15:19I was a runaway when I was a kid, just like Betsy.
15:23Like so many of them.
15:26I lived right on the beach.
15:30And it was fun.
15:34It was really a lot of fun for a while.
15:38But then in the end, it... it gets desperate.
15:43Well, you seem to have pulled yourself together okay.
15:47It has not been easy, but people have helped me,
15:51and I invented a cosmetic line that just took off.
15:57And you want to pay a little of it back?
16:00That's right.
16:01But I have been going through a very painful divorce,
16:04and I have been working hard.
16:08Maybe I didn't give the kids who come around here the attention I should.
16:12Did you know any of the other girls that were murdered?
16:14Oh, no.
16:16Look, I wouldn't take it on myself.
16:18The killings seem to be at random by some psycho.
16:21Melissa.
16:23Hi.
16:24Oh.
16:25You came as soon as I could get away.
16:26Oh, I'm glad.
16:27Darling.
16:28Larry Fallon, this is Kelly Garrett and Chris Monroe.
16:33Nice to meet you.
16:34Hello.
16:35These are detectives that Betsy knew.
16:37Oh, they certainly don't fit my stereotype of a detective.
16:41Did you know Betsy?
16:43No, not well.
16:45I'm head of sales, but we use dozens of kids as part-time door-to-door salespeople.
16:53Frankly, they're not very dependable.
16:55They come and go.
16:57Then you work for Melissa Cosmetics?
17:01Well, and then some.
17:03When I get my final divorce, Larry and I are going to be married.
17:09Congratulations.
17:16Fallon was lying.
17:17He said he hardly knew Betsy, but the lifeguard said she was dating him and Fallon dropped her.
17:22Maybe it's the lifeguard who was lying, Angel.
17:25From your description of Larry Fallon, I would guess a certain prejudice.
17:29Charlie, this guy is really bad news.
17:33Instinct.
17:34And Chris's instinct was right about Betsy.
17:37Okay, so Chris's instinct says Fallon's bad news.
17:42Okay, I give a lot of credit to instinct, but how bad is the bad news?
17:48I mean, is Fallon lying to his fiancée to cover an indiscretion or is the man a murderer?
17:56About the other case, Charlie, the one that might help pay your trip to Acapulco.
18:01Very seductive of you, Bosley, but I think we'll stay on this one for a while.
18:06Well, we don't have a client.
18:08Yes, we do.
18:10Me.
18:11Oh.
18:12Forget about it, Bosley.
18:14I'm looking forward to Lieutenant Francona's embarrassment.
18:18Thank you, Charlie.
18:20Okay, look, now, if we're going to do this thing, I guess I'll have to cover Fallon, right?
18:24I mean, he's already seen Chris and Kelly, huh?
18:26And Chris and Kelly know the beach scene, so they're the ones to look for the gorilla with the tattoo.
18:31How do you hide a gun in a bikini?
18:34Very carefully.
18:36What's my assignment, Charlie?
18:38Bosley, I understand you're something of a gourmet chef.
18:41Well, I have been known to give rise to soufflé from time to time.
18:45In that case, I have just the cover for you.
18:49Mmm.
18:55All right, let me smell your breath.
18:58My breath? Why?
18:59Well, you're a cook, aren't you? They're all drunks. It's the fumes.
19:02I assure you that I am not a drunk.
19:05Well, then you're a till-tapper.
19:07Madam, I do not steal money from cash registers.
19:11If you're not a drunk, and you're not a till-tapper, why do you want to work here?
19:17It's a year. My doctor recommended it.
19:20Oh, I don't know.
19:22I don't know if I should hire you or just close down.
19:26Close down?
19:28Haven't you noticed how deserted the beach is?
19:31Feared of that sandcastle murderer.
19:34More likely feared of Tomane.
19:38Mmm.
19:40Think you can do better, huh?
19:42I have been a chef at some of the finest restaurants in America.
19:47All right, you can start.
19:49$2.50 an hour and eights.
19:51Ha!
19:52Nothing fancy.
19:56Anyway, I thought maybe if I could ride around with you, I might find something.
19:59I don't know, maybe somebody that knew Betsy.
20:02You better believe it.
20:03I don't want to intrude on your territory now.
20:05Are you kidding? You're an investigator, and I'm, uh...
20:08I'm just a private security man, glorified lifeguard.
20:12Doesn't look like such a bad job to me.
20:14Fresh air, warm sun, pretty girl.
20:18Long hours, low pay, no status.
20:21Hey, Mr. Garrison, you catch anything?
20:24I'm better luck tomorrow.
20:29You see that guy?
20:31He's a millionaire, retired, comes here every day.
20:35He doesn't know what to do with himself.
20:37If it was me...
20:40I'd know.
20:42Yeah? What would you do?
20:47Well...
20:51Maybe one of these days I could...
20:54show you.
20:57Come on, hop in.
21:07Have you ever done sales work, Miss Duncan?
21:09Uh, yes, it's, uh, it's all down there.
21:11I see.
21:13Oh, you have a university degree.
21:16Are you sure you'll be satisfied working door to door?
21:19Hi, Leslie.
21:20Oh, Mr. Fallon, hi.
21:22Hi, hello, Mr. Fallon. Hello, how are you?
21:24Miss Duncan!
21:25Uh...
21:26Yes, what is it?
21:27Well, uh, you don't know me, but I know you, or at least who you are.
21:32Who am I?
21:33Well, you're the man to get to know
21:35if you want to get anywhere in this company.
21:37You just applied for a job and you're asking for a promotion?
21:40Well, I've never been accused of modesty.
21:42I believe it. What's your name?
21:44Uh, uh, Sabrina Duncan.
21:46Uh, I am ambitious to start a new career
21:49and I have a lot of experience in make-up.
21:52How's that?
21:53Well, I was an actress, uh, in America.
21:57Oh, I see.
21:59Uh, well, I was an actress, uh, in a former life.
22:03Uh-huh.
22:05Okay, Sabrina, how about lunch?
22:08Well, why start at the bottom? How about dinner?
22:11Ooh, come into my office. We'll talk about it.
22:14Uh...
22:21Next.
22:30Next.
22:43Hey, Chubby, how about some service?
22:49Right.
22:50What can I do for you, sir?
22:52I want a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich.
22:56And a glass of milk.
22:58You got it. BLT with mayo and moo.
23:09Something wrong?
23:10Wrong? No.
23:13Ah.
23:26Chris? Kelly? Can you hear me?
23:29Hello, Chris? Yeah, Bosley. What is it?
23:31Hey, you. Make that on whole wheat.
23:35Right. Right.
23:38Kelly, Chris, the man with the tattoo, he's here.
23:42Okay, we'll be right there. Hold it.
23:45Hold it?
23:47Okay.
24:07Oh, uh, listen, uh, how would you like some french fries?
24:12I just ate.
24:14I mean, like dessert, you know. They're free. They're on the house.
24:17I don't eat stinking fries.
24:20Look, man, I got respect for my body.
24:23You should have some respect for yours.
24:28Your body's got too many muscles on it.
24:32What'd you say?
24:34I said I will. I will.
24:37Hey, don't you want your change?
24:40Hey, wait a minute.
24:42Wait a minute.
24:49The blue van.
24:51Look at him.
25:06Look at him.
25:36I think I know that dude. He works there. I think he lives there, too.
25:40What do you mean lives there?
25:42Well, there are apartments above the merry-go-round.
25:45Let's go talk to him.
25:46Hey, wait a minute. Are you sure that that's a good idea?
25:49Well, he's the only suspect we have.
25:51Yeah, but we don't have one bit of hard evidence against him.
25:54Well, we shake him down, see what we can find out.
25:56Well, why don't we let the homicide guys do that?
25:58I mean, if we do it and he makes us, then it's going to be a lot harder for us to keep an eye on.
26:02That's true.
26:05I sure would like to get a look inside that van, though.
26:09All right, you're on. But if he catches us, you wrestle with him.
26:28He's a bird watcher.
26:30Yeah, not the kind with wings.
26:36Look at this.
26:38What's that?
26:40Porno snapshots or something. I don't know. Kind of sick.
26:44Oh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
26:47Pretty weird guy.
26:49Can we get out of here now?
26:51Yeah, sure.
27:05Let's go.
27:22Is this where you bring all the girls?
27:24I see my reputation's preceded me.
27:27Well, it's never been a crime for a man to like women.
27:32About the job, I checked, and there's an opening.
27:36Assistant sales manager.
27:38Oh.
27:40Well, um, I can't be vice president. You're vice president.
27:45What happened to the girl who had the job before me?
27:48Uncooperative.
27:50I see. Well, you're very direct.
27:53Honey, how do you think I got where I am today?
27:56When I want something, I go right for it.
27:59Like, um, president of the company?
28:03How did you hear about that?
28:06Well, I, um, I know you're engaged to marry Melissa Rossiter.
28:12Uh, I mean, girls do talk, you know.
28:15This doesn't have anything to do with us.
28:18No, no, no, it doesn't bother me at all.
28:20Just curious.
28:22Hmm.
28:24Well, you heard right.
28:26If Melissa's divorce ever comes through.
28:29Messy, huh?
28:33In case you haven't noticed, I love gossip.
28:40Well, her husband's holding it up.
28:43He's trying to stick her for a huge settlement.
28:46Well, he's entitled, isn't he? I mean, community property.
28:50No, not this time.
28:52You see, they married when they were both wet behind the ears...
28:56and separated before Melissa hit it really big.
28:59Sounds like, um, Mr. Rossiter is a little greedy.
29:03His name's not Rossiter. It's Christopher.
29:06Dave Christopher.
29:08He's a private security guard on the beach.
29:10He's one step up from a surfer.
29:13Gee, that's, uh, that's kind of funny.
29:16Why would a woman like her marry a man like that?
29:20Hmm.
29:22Now, you may like gossip, but I don't.
29:25Now, let's talk about you and me.
29:28Or, more specifically, your place or mine.
29:34As soon as I return from the, uh, lady shrimp.
29:40Now? Well, how about an answer?
29:43Well, uh, you're in the cosmetics business, aren't you?
29:46You wouldn't want to take a lady home with, uh, messy mascara.
29:50I'll be right back.
29:53Excuse me.
29:55Yes, ma'am. Thank you.
30:05Hey, I really enjoyed that. Thank you.
30:07The food was terrific.
30:09Not the...
30:11fanciest restaurant in town.
30:16Will you stop putting yourself down?
30:19The food was very nice. The company was terrific.
30:22You can't ask for more than that.
30:24Well, um, if it was that enjoyable,
30:28do you think I could come in for a while?
30:31I'll tell you what. I'm gonna go answer that phone,
30:33and you're gonna go home.
30:35And I'll see you tomorrow. Thanks again.
30:38Night. Night.
30:47PHONE RINGS
30:51Hello?
31:03Kelly? Uh, it's me.
31:05Listen, I just found something out. I think we ought to all get together.
31:08No, Chris isn't home yet, but I got a key to a place we could wait for him.
31:13Well, I'm gonna tell him I got a...
31:15terrible headache.
31:17Yeah. Okay, bye-bye.

34:17You okay?
34:19I've never been so glad to see two people.
34:22Kelly, call the police, huh? No need.
34:26Dave, what are you doing here?
34:28I passed his van a couple of miles back.
34:30I thought I'd come back and check just to be sure.
34:32Lucky you did. Looks like you did all right.
34:37Take this dude downtown.
34:39I'll call you as soon as he's booked.
34:52I scared her just like you said, Dave.
34:54And now I'm in big trouble.
34:56I told you I'd take care of you, and I will.
34:58Just keep your mouth shut, and you'll be okay.
35:00Come on.
35:18Gerson in jail. We should have this whole thing wrapped, right?
35:21Wrong. Wrong.
35:23If there's one thing that's still bothering me, it's he kept me awake all night.
35:26Dave Christopher. Uh-huh.
35:28Did he tell us that he was married to Melissa Rossiter?
35:30I don't know, Bree. I mean, I was with the guy for dinner.
35:32He didn't even mention it.
35:34They never do.
35:36And not only did he not tell us that he was married to Melissa Rossiter,
35:39he didn't tell us that in the divorce proceedings,
35:41he wants half of her fortune, community property, huh?
35:44That's what he meant when he said he would be a millionaire someday.
35:48Bosley, what did you put in these eggs?
35:51Just a little chives, some cottage cheese,
35:55and a dollop of sherry.
35:59Well, well, well, well, well, good morning.
36:02Good morning.
36:04Ladies.
36:06I've got some bad news for you.
36:09Gerson bailed himself out early this morning.
36:12You're Lieutenant Francona.
36:14And you're?
36:16Sabrina Duncan. I work with Chris and Kelly.
36:18That's, uh, that's really terrific. He bailed himself out.
36:20Did you give him a map to Chris' house?
36:22Oh, he'll be sure not to get lost.
36:24Hey, hold it. I don't make the laws.
36:26It was a bailable offense.
36:28Breaking, entry, and assault.
36:30Felony?
36:31Not even aggravated.
36:32Simple? Simple assault?
36:35The man didn't use a weapon. The lady doesn't have a bruise on her.
36:38Yeah, well, he didn't have a chance to put one on me.
36:41I've got something else to tell you.
36:43He's got excellent alibis for two of the Sandcastle mergers.
36:47Well, that isn't any help to Chris.
36:50Can we put a police guard on her?
36:52Oh, boy, you've got to be working with these three to come up with a question like that.
36:56We don't have enough men to guard the mayor.
36:58Let me ask you one simple question, then. What are you going to do?
37:02Honey, I just did it.
37:05I warned you.
37:07Have a nice day.
37:09Yeah.
37:13That man is unbelievable.
37:17That man is unbelievable.
37:19Well, we can't afford to waste time worrying about him.
37:22Chris is in real danger.
37:24Well, I know one thing.
37:26You don't wait for your enemy to come to you.
38:30Come on.
38:44But, Bree, Day's a security officer.
38:46He could have been questioning Gerson on his own.
38:49And giving him money?
38:51Well, maybe it was for information.
38:53I don't think so.
38:55Hey, look, Chris, do you still have that advertising folder of Melissa Cosmetics,
38:58the one that's got Mrs. Roster's picture on it?
39:00Mm-hmm. Could you get it?
39:02Sure.
39:04Hey, I've got some news.
39:06I don't know what it means, but it's odd.
39:08Chris, when you and Dave followed Gerson to the merry-go-round that first day,
39:12did he admit he knew Gerson?
39:14You said he thought he'd seen him around.
39:16Well, Gerson works at the merry-go-round. We knew that.
39:19What we didn't know is that Dave lives in one of the apartments above it.
39:23What? Now, that's weird.
39:26Why wouldn't he mention that?
39:28Well, what has all that got to do with some maniac killing girls on the beach?
39:32Now, wait a minute. Look.
39:35Now, look at this picture of Melissa Roster.
39:37She's got blonde hair, blue eyes. She's light complexion.
39:40Same general body build as the rest of the girls who were killed, right?
39:43Are you saying that Melissa is a candidate for a look-alike killing?
39:47Well, suppose Dave wanted his wife killed before she got a divorce.
39:53Means he would go from patrolling the beach to owning the beach.
39:57Yeah, but he'd also be the most likely suspect in town.
40:00Of course.
40:01Unless she were just one of a whole series of girls who were killed,
40:07all of whom looked alike.
40:09Well, who's gonna suspect him? Everybody's looking for some nut.
40:12Oh, Sabrina, that's...
40:13I know, I know, I know. It's pretty far out.
40:16But if I'm right, it's really very clever.
40:21But he'd have to be insane to go around killing people so casually.
40:26Yeah, and if you are right, Melissa's number should be coming up very soon.
40:33You think she'll believe us?
40:36I don't know, but I think we ought to try to convince her.
40:39All right, let's go.
40:42This is the craziest thing I've ever heard of. Really.
40:46I mean, I know that you people mean well,
40:49but the fact that David wants to kill me and you have no proof...
40:53We don't have time to wait for proof.
40:55That's why we came to you now, Melissa.
40:57Maybe we can help each other.
40:59To do what? It is so preposterous.
41:02Mrs. Rossiter, has Dave ever been in any trouble?
41:05No. Well, not... not serious.
41:09He does have a temper.
41:11What do you mean?
41:13Well, he was asked to leave the police department.
41:16That's why he became a private guard.
41:21He hurt someone.
41:23What about you? Did he ever do anything to you?
41:26Only once, and that was when I was telling him I was leaving him.
41:30Look, David is a very proud man,
41:33and he was finding it very difficult to live with a wife
41:36who was making it big in the business world.
41:39I could handle it. He couldn't.
41:41He has asked you for a lot of money.
41:44Yes. I will admit...
41:47I will admit that there have been times when he has been...
41:51He has been a little ugly, but that is over now.
41:55Uh, excuse me, what do you mean?
41:57He called me. He called me this morning,
42:00and he's going to give me the divorce on my terms.
42:04When is this going to happen?
42:06This afternoon. He asked me to come over to his place,
42:09and we are going to settle it, just the two of us.
42:12And he was very, very nice.
42:15Is today Monday?
42:17It better be. Yesterday was Sunday.
42:19The pier is closed on Monday.
42:21Right.
42:23It wouldn't be hard to get a body out of there and down on the beach after dark.
42:27It isn't possible.
42:31It isn't possible.
42:38Is it?
42:42Well, if you'll help us, we'll find out.
43:00Shhh.
43:31David?
43:46David?
44:01Ah!
44:09David?
44:30David?
44:37Ah!
44:53Theatrical?
44:55Sorry, Melissa, I just couldn't resist.
44:57You gave me hell when we lived together. I'm giving you a little back.
45:00David.
45:02You know who this is?
45:06This is the Sandcastle Killer.
45:11I'm going to capture him tonight.
45:13Unfortunately, I had to kill him for resisting arrest.
45:20Settlement? Papers in there?
45:24You didn't really think I was going to sign them, did you?
45:27David, please. I never hurt you. I never.
45:31Every time you wrote a check, it hurt me.
45:36Now you're going to be the last victim of the Sandcastle Killer.
45:40Ah! Ah!
45:42Hold it, David!
45:44Ah!
45:46Ah!
45:50Ah!
45:52Ah!
46:03Are you okay?
46:05Stay here.
46:22Ah!
46:25Ah!
46:53Ah!
47:08Dave came out of surgery this morning, and he'll survive the stand trial.
47:13Thanks to Sabrina's incredible athletic prowess.
47:16Well, actually, it was kind of a kick.
47:18I'm so glad you forgot I was the lifeguard.
47:21It was a good job on your part, Angels.
47:24I just wish there hadn't been a case, Charlie.
47:26Me, too. It's the only one that didn't bring in a plug nickel, Charlie.
47:30What it did bring in was a call from Lieutenant Francona.
47:33You're kidding.
47:35Why? Did he want to arrest us for solving his case?
47:38No. It was to congratulate us.
47:41And that, Bosley, was worth a fortune to me.
47:44Take the day off, Angels. Go get a winter tan.
47:48I have an incredible urge...
47:51Huh?
47:53...to do something.
47:55Come on.
47:57To do what?
47:59Uh, I think the shrinks call it regression.
48:03But it'll be fun.
48:06Wait a minute.
48:08Where are we going?
48:10This could cost a lot of money.
48:12Ooh!
48:30That is so fun!
48:42Oh!
49:12Oh!
