Charlies Angels S04E10
Transcript
00:00Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to the police academy, one
00:07in Los Angeles, one in San Francisco, the other in Boston.
00:16And 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.
00:56My name is Charlie.
00:58My name is Charlie.
01:00My name is Charlie.
01:02My name is Charlie.
01:04My name is Charlie.
01:06My name is Charlie.
01:08My name is Charlie.
01:10My name is Charlie.
01:12My name is Charlie.
01:14My name is Charlie.
01:16My name is Charlie.
01:18My name is Charlie.
01:20My name is Charlie.
01:22My name is Charlie.
01:24My name is Charlie.
01:54Come on.
01:56Come on.
01:58Stop worrying.
02:00We're still learning, too.
02:02And we have a great teacher.
02:04Good.
02:06I'm going to need one.
02:08He'll never be a true Californian until you skate Venice.
02:12When did I say I wanted to be a true Californian?
02:16Oh, come on.
02:18It's fun.
02:20Hi.
02:22Hi.
02:24We need a pair of sneaker skates.
02:26Oh, me.
02:28Came to the right place.
02:30Let's see. Size, uh...
02:32Seven.
02:34Seven-and-a-half.
02:36Right. Seven-and-a-half.
02:38Now, listen.
02:40No offense, gorgeous one,
02:42but with a set of ankles and a pair of shoes,
02:44it's a little too much for me.
02:46I'm sorry.
02:48No offense, gorgeous one,
02:50but with a set of ankles like you've got,
02:52I suggest you skip the sneaker skates.
02:54Really?
02:56You need the full protection
02:58of the Rydell boot-Chicago plate combo, okay?
03:00You're the expert.
03:02Perceptive. I like that.
03:04Gert, give her the best.
03:06Right, boss.
03:08You know, if you girls can skate anywhere near your looks,
03:11you could win a fortune.
03:13A contest?
03:15Uh-huh. At Flippers. That's my rink.
03:17Frederick Victor Fortune. Call me Freddy.
03:19Hi. Hi, Freddy.
03:21Well, we're really not that good.
03:23No, we're just beginners.
03:25It doesn't matter. I'll teach you everything you need to know.
03:28You girls would make perfect fortune girls.
03:31Fortune girls?
03:33The chorus line for my big production numbers.
03:35Fabulous costumes, exciting choreography,
03:37great exposure. All the media's gonna be there.
03:40Girls, you are looking at the next Sigfeld.
03:42The great Freddy Fortune's gonna make roller disco a household word.
03:46Not that I don't believe you, Freddy, but we sort of have a gig.
03:49Yeah.
03:51What a waste.
03:53But if you change your minds, you know where to find me.
03:55Free passes.
03:57Oh. Compliments of fortunes.
03:59Thank you. Thank you very much.
04:01Gert, you take good care of these ladies.
04:04Right, boss.
04:06Think it over.
04:08Not every girl gets a chance to be a fortune girl.
04:10Right.
04:12Here you go.
04:14A Chicago boot, ride-or-die combo, size 7 1⁄2.
04:17Lots of luck.
04:19Thanks. I'll need it.
04:21Thank you.
04:27Uh...
04:29Whoa!
04:31Hey, you know what? This isn't so bad.
04:34Come on, you guys. What you waiting for?
04:36Whoa!
04:45Whoa!
04:57Here, check this out.
04:59Oh, they're very good.
05:01That's Ken and Rita. He's our skating teacher.
05:03They're doing good hands.
05:06Yep.
05:08They're gonna win the $30,000
05:10Freddie Fortunes contest. Easy.
05:31Whoo!
05:33Whoo!
05:35Good luck.
05:39Thanks, Rose.
05:41Way to go, Rose.
05:43Thanks, Rose.
05:45Hey, Rita!
05:47Come back and take a bow for the bride.
05:49She was fabulous, fabulous.
05:51Rita! Hey!
05:57There she is.
06:04Whoo!
06:22What's going on, Kenny?
06:24Where's Rita going?
06:26I don't know.
06:28You mean you don't know those men?
06:30No. No, I don't.
06:32Well, I think we should call the police.
06:34The police?
06:36If Rita's in trouble, there may not be much time.
06:40There's a phone booth right over there.
06:42Let's go.
06:49I have the police report, angels.
06:51It's not encouraging.
06:53As far as they can determine, nothing happened.
06:55Two men forced her into a van.
06:57I saw it happen.
06:59The point is, Chris, they're not sure what you saw.
07:02They've come up with a dead end on Rita Morgan's background.
07:05No social security number, voter registration,
07:07no parents, no previous address, nothing.
07:10So Rita Morgan probably isn't her real name.
07:13And we can't be sure she didn't want to get in the van.
07:15So there might not have been any crime.
07:17Mm-hmm. That's the police viewpoint.
07:20I don't care what the police say.
07:22Rita was kidnapped.
07:24And I'd really like to help Kenny.
07:26I know we can't afford our fee,
07:28but if we don't help him, who will?
07:30You're right. What if it was a kidnapping?
07:33I'm willing to put in some time.
07:35I'll go along with that.
07:37What do you say, Charlie?
07:39Well, majority rules, angels.
07:41Now, I think the first step is to find out what we're getting into.
07:45We have to find out who Rita Morgan really is.
07:48Right. Her ransom demand from Kenny doesn't make any sense.
07:50Like I said, he doesn't have any money.
07:52You don't suppose someone would go this far
07:54to keep Rita and Kenny from winning that dance contest, do you?
07:57What dance contest?
07:59Think in the area that's holding a roller disco contest.
08:02Kenny and Rita are the favorites.
08:04You think somebody would go that far to knock them out of the competition?
08:07Well, first prize is $30,000. That's a nice little bundle.
08:10Yes, but hardly enough to risk a kidnapping conviction.
08:14There's a lot of homework to do on this case, angels.
08:17Chris, I want you to stay close to Kenny.
08:20The rest of you blend into the scene down at the beach.
08:23Let's see what we can find out about our couple's background.
08:26Well, good luck and good skating.
08:57Hey! I bet you're Greg Thomas.
09:00Yeah? Who wants to know?
09:03I'm Warren Rambert. I'm with the West Coast Roller Derby Club.
09:06I've been writing to you about a tryout for months.
09:09Well, here I am.
09:11Look, roller derby's my dream. I've been practicing.
09:14I mean, I'm not going to miss it.
09:16Well, you're not going to miss it, are you?
09:18I'm not going to miss it.
09:20You're not going to miss it, are you?
09:22I'm not going to miss it.
09:24Roller derby's my dream. I've been practicing.
09:26I mean, I got my moves down. My speed work is coming along.
09:29Feel this. Feel that.
09:31I mean, I got the size to be a jammer.
09:33Oh, yes. Oh, yes. I can see your potential.
09:36Does this mean I get a tryout? Uh-huh.
09:38Now, what are my chances of getting on the team?
09:40Oh, well, I can't promise you anything,
09:42but how would you like to be called Gert the Enforcer?
09:47Gert the Enforcer?
09:50I'm ready. I'm ready. When do I start?
09:54Oh, Gert.
09:56Listen, I was wondering, you know,
09:58we want to jazz up the roller derby
10:00with some of these new disco skaters.
10:02Yeah. I heard of a couple.
10:04Names of Kenny Daniels and Rita Morgan.
10:07I heard they were the best around here.
10:09Yeah.
10:10You're too late, Orrin. Rita disappeared.
10:12It's a shame. They really were the best, too.
10:14They were a shoe-in for Freddy's big contest.
10:16Freddy?
10:18Yeah, Freddy owns this place. He owns the rink.
10:20It's his contest.
10:22Listen, Gert, you don't think somebody would have
10:25done something to Rita, you know,
10:27to keep her and Kenny out of the contest, do you?
10:30Well, uh, this is a long shot, Orrin,
10:34but before Kenny came along, Rita had another partner.
10:38His name was Reggie Martin.
10:41Oh, yeah? Where would I find him?
10:44Well, he hangs out up at Pavilion.
10:46Thanks, Gert. I will be in touch.
10:49Uh, Orrin, wait.
10:51I have to show you something.
10:53Are you ready?
10:55Sure.
10:57Ha!
10:59Oh! Oh!
11:02That wasn't even half speed.
11:04I'm glad you told me.
11:06I'm ready, Orrin. I mean, I'm really ready.
11:08I can see that, Gert.
11:10I can really see that.
11:22Whoo!
11:42Hang on, baby. I'll be right back.
11:52You're distracting my partner.
11:54I thought we were distracting you, your grace.
11:57You're right. You were.
12:00I'm Yvonne Henning, Tara White.
12:04Roller Disco Magazine.
12:06We are doing a fabulous feature issue
12:08on the Venice scene.
12:10Well, I am Reggie Martin, and I am your man.
12:13What do you want to know?
12:15You were in the space of his grace.
12:17Darling, well, we were in the space of his grace.
12:20Well, we've heard that you're one of the big favorites
12:23for the contest of fortune.
12:25You heard wrong.
12:27You see, I am light years ahead of my competition.
12:30What about Kenny Daniels and Rita Morgan?
12:33They are no more.
12:35Rita left Kenny waiting in the wings.
12:37Rumor has it that you lost Rita to Kenny.
12:40It was her loss, not mine.
12:42See, Kenny was just hustling her for the contest.
12:45He didn't really care about her.
12:47And you did.
12:49Yeah, I did.
12:51She had class, a mystery.
12:53I never really knew where she came from
12:55or who she really was.
12:57I liked it that way.
12:59She's a perfect match for his grace.
13:01Any chance of you two getting back together
13:03for the big contest?
13:07I have a new partner.
13:09But I'll tell you this.
13:11If Rita and Kenny do show up at the ring Saturday night,
13:14they'll need a miracle to beat us, baby.
13:18I hope they get the chance.
13:35Here it is, number six.
13:48Tiffany, look at this.
13:52Ooh.
13:54Celeron.
13:56Louis Vuitton luggage.
13:59Now, where do you suppose Rita got the money for this stuff?
14:02She must be a runaway.
14:04But from what?
14:06Let's look at this. Come on.
14:08Yeah.
14:11Oh.
14:17Wait a minute.
14:24You recognize him?
14:26He looks very familiar.
14:28We'd better get these to Charlie right away. Come on.
14:41And now it's time to give up the floor
14:43to those who chose just a little bit more.
14:45That's right. This next funky number
14:47is for advanced and intermediate skaters only.
14:49So all of you beginners and those of you who refuse to improve,
14:52please clear the floor.
14:54And don't forget, tickets are still available
14:56for Fortune's fantastic disco dance contest.
14:58Skate on!
15:10Come on.
15:31Why hasn't there been a call, some contact?
15:34Look, I know it's tough,
15:36but you have to give us a chance to put all the pieces together.
15:40It's real early in the game, Kenny.
15:42We're doing everything we can.
15:44I know.
15:46You shouldn't be here, Kenny.
15:48One of the other guys can cover the floor.
15:50I know. I want to work.
16:02Kenny tells me you're a detective.
16:05I, uh, sure wouldn't have taken you for one.
16:08A lot of people don't.
16:11Any word on Rita?
16:13Not yet.
16:15Rita's a good kid.
16:17I'll do anything I can to help her.
16:19Remember, anything.
16:21Thanks, Fred.
16:38Come on.
17:03How's our guest?
17:05See for yourself, boss.
17:08Thanks.
17:38Come on.
17:56Come on.
18:02No, no, no. Girls, give me a break.
18:05Wrong, wrong, wrong.
18:07Hey, shake those shoulders.
18:09Drop that head back. It's simple.
18:11Yeah, if you're not wearing skates.
18:13Now, listen, sweetheart, you were hired to do a job.
18:15Nobody leaves here till we get it right.
18:17From the top.
18:21I guess we could all use a break.
18:23Take five, girls.
18:27Hey, hey, hey.
18:29Changed your mind about the show, huh?
18:32My talent, your looks, couple of years' work.
18:35Queen of roller disco. I can see us now.
18:38Madison Square Garden, you're making a descent
18:40into the big musical number.
18:43On a star.
18:45Everybody's watching you. And me, of course.
18:47Wait a minute. Time out.
18:49I didn't change my mind.
18:50Still a private eye, huh?
18:52Afraid so.
18:53I wanted to ask you some questions about Rita.
18:55Well, you better make it snappy, sweetheart.
18:57We got five minutes.
18:58Okay.
18:59We haven't found any information out about her background.
19:01Like where she's from.
19:02Do you know anything about her family?
19:04Well, Rita never talked much about herself.
19:07Did she ever work for you?
19:11We had an arrangement.
19:13She gave lessons here. I took a small cut.
19:15She had a place to work out of.
19:16It was all under the table.
19:17No paperwork, no records.
19:18Sorry.
19:20And that's time, darling.
19:22Gotta get back to work.
19:26Darling.
19:29That showbiz.
19:32Yeah.
19:33I'll forget. Here we go.
19:39Feeding time, honey.
20:00Why are you doing this?
20:02I don't have any money.
20:04Maybe you don't.
20:06But we both know who does, don't we?
20:16Be nice!
20:20You'll live longer.
20:26We've hit pay dirt with the photo angels.
20:28The man in the picture with Rita was her father.
20:31Henry Lathrop.
20:33Of the Lathrop Real Estate Empire?
20:35That's right, Tiffany.
20:36Rita Morgan is really Rita Lathrop, an heiress.
20:40Didn't Lathrop die recently?
20:42Six months ago.
20:44Well, that coincides with about the time that Rita dropped in on the Venice scene.
20:47Yes.
20:48I've contacted Lathrop's widow, Julia.
20:50She's been looking for Rita and wants our help.
20:53Well, no wonder she didn't want to have her picture taken on the boardwalk.
20:56Sure.
20:57She was afraid someone would recognize her picture in the newspaper
21:00and tell Mrs. Lathrop where to find her.
21:02And if whoever grabbed Rita knows who she really is...
21:05Then we have a real kidnapping on our hands.
21:07And the Lathrop Estate is capable of paying a huge ransom.
21:11We have to move on that assumption, Kelly.
21:14Julia Lathrop has denied any contact from the kidnappers so far, but we have to be prepared.
21:19Bosley, I want you to get our equipment up to the Lathrop Estate
21:23in case that ransom phone call comes in.
21:25Tiffany and Kelly will go with you.
21:27Right, Charlie.
21:28What about me, Charlie?
21:29You stay with Kenny.
21:31See if he knows anything he isn't telling us.
21:33If he was aware of Rita's true identity, he could have been in on this.
21:39Right.
22:00Right.
22:21Now we're going to mix it up with something just a little bit slower for mom and pop.
22:24So, kids, relax, get a snack, get a drink or get in there with the old folks.
22:55Let's go.
23:08Kenny, we have to talk.
23:11What's up?
23:12We found out who Rita really is.
23:15She's the daughter of a millionaire.
23:17Her name is Rita Lathrop.
23:20I can't believe it.
23:22She borrowed 20 bucks off me last week.
23:25No, you're wrong. You must be.
23:28We're not wrong.
23:32I didn't know. I really didn't.
23:34It doesn't matter whether you knew who she was or not.
23:37If there's been a kidnapping and it's looking more all the time like there has been,
23:41then you're going to be a prime suspect.
23:43So if you know anything or you're holding anything back, you better level with us.
23:47Rita's life could depend on it.
23:53Hey!
24:05We did have a few happy times together, the three of us.
24:10It wasn't easy.
24:12At first, Rita resented me.
24:14I never tried to replace her real mother, but...
24:18Finally, I began to believe I was getting through to her.
24:21Henry died suddenly.
24:23Rita took it very hard.
24:25Next thing, I knew she was gone.
24:28Have you heard from her since?
24:30Not a word.
24:32I tried to find her, but...
24:36This has been such a nightmare for me.
24:38Henry's dying, Rita's running away, trying to make sense of the businesses.
24:42It's almost been more than I can handle.
24:47I got it.
24:49Oh, good.
24:51This will complete the setup.
24:53We should be ready in a minute.
24:55Mrs. Lathrop, the minute the call comes in, Charlie wants us to notify the FBI.
24:59Oh, no, no. No FBI and no police.
25:02Absolutely not. I will give these people whatever it is that they want.
25:05Rita's safety is all that matters to me.
25:07Now, if you're going to continue working for me, that is the way it's going to be.
25:18Oh.
25:31What did you tell the detective, huh?
25:33Nothing.
25:34Nothing?
25:35I don't think we need to be that rough on our young friend.
25:37Not yet.
25:41They know who Rita is.
25:43And that's causing all these unfriendly feelings between us?
25:47It don't mean a thing.
25:48They're not going to stop us.
25:50Rita's the only family Julia Lathrop's got left.
25:52She'll pay to get her back.
25:54Please let her go, Freddy.
25:56Out of the question.
25:59Don't get cold feet on me, Kenny.
26:01You're the one who started all this, remember?
26:04You didn't hesitate to tip me off who Rita really was when she wanted out of the contest.
26:08She wanted out because you were making a media circus out of it, man.
26:11She was scared.
26:12She knew her picture would be on TV, her stepmother would know where she is.
26:15I'm sorry I told you anything.
26:17Come on, Kenny.
26:18You were tired as starving.
26:20Rita's all right.
26:21She doesn't know where she is.
26:22She doesn't know who's got her.
26:23She's never seen the boys before.
26:24She'll never see them again.
26:26You're going to go through with this whether you like it or not.
26:28So don't make a problem for yourself or for her, okay?
26:34That's it, boy.
26:40Don't let him out of your sight.
26:46Come on.
26:51Please.
26:52Please leave me alone.
26:54You should get used to me, honey.
26:56We're going to be together for a long time.
27:06I hope you're in good voice tonight.
27:09We have to do a little recording.
27:12No.
27:14No.
27:44No.
28:15Okay, you can answer now.
28:19Remember, talk as long as you can.
28:23Hello?
28:24This is Lathrop.
28:25Yes, this is Julia Lathrop.
28:27Who's this?
28:28Never mind.
28:29Just listen.
28:34Mom?
28:35Please, help me.
28:37I want to come home.
28:39Rita, is that you?
28:45Correct, Mrs. Lathrop?
28:47We have your daughter.
28:48Where is she? Is she there?
28:50She's in a safe place and she's yours for one million dollars.
28:57I don't have that kind of cash available.
29:00No, but you can get it.
29:03And you will if you ever want to see Rita alive.
29:08I want proof that she's alive.
29:10I thought you might.
29:12Don't worry, you'll have it.
29:19You did very well, Julia.
29:21Thank you.
29:22May I use the phone?
29:24Oh, yes, of course.
29:26There's a certain banker who's about to be very busy.
29:31We traced the call to a phone booth near the roller rink.
29:35Do you think someone at the rink is involved in the kidnapping?
29:38We've got to consider it a possibility.
29:41Chris.
29:42I'm here, Charlie.
29:43I want you to get over to Fortunes right away.
29:46You're going to break into show business.
29:56All right, let's smile. Let's see those smiles.
29:59Let's see it. Hubba hubba, let's go.
30:01We're in the big time now.
30:03Cha-cha-cha, let's go now.
30:05All right, lights, camera, action.
30:08That's right.
30:10Hello.
30:11Hello.
30:13More questions?
30:15Nope, came to take you up.
30:17On what?
30:19Your talent, my looks, Madison Square Garden, remember?
30:24You serious?
30:26Try me.
30:28Well, it's a little late for that descent on the star,
30:31but maybe I can fit you into the chorus line.
30:34Chorus line?
30:36Take it or leave it, sweetheart.
30:39I'll take it.
30:41Great.
30:43Check into wardrobe.
30:45See what you look like in costume.
30:47You won't be disappointed, I promise.
30:50Uh-huh.
31:07I'm back.
31:12What?
31:14What are you going to do?
31:17Relax, honey.
31:19This won't hurt a bit.
31:30I'll have to talk to Chris.
31:32She's not here, but I may be able to get in touch with her.
31:35Tell her to meet me on the pier in an hour.
31:37Can he wait? Is there anything I can do?
31:39No, just tell her.
31:41All right.
31:56Special messenger just left this year at the front gate.
31:59Thank you.
32:06Oh!
32:10What is it?
32:13It's Rita's earring.
32:15It's an original. I had them made for her 18th birthday.
32:29Mom, I'm okay,
32:32but I don't think I can stand much more of this.
32:35Please, give them whatever they want.
32:39Julia, I trust everything's in order.
32:42Get a yellow knapsack.
32:44Put the money in it.
32:46Then go to the Venice Beach Recreation Center.
32:50There's a phone booth there.
32:52I'll call you at 5.30 this afternoon.
32:57Chris, where are you?
32:59Rehearsing. I just got your message.
33:01Kenny just called. He sounds desperate.
33:03Where is he?
33:05He's at the pier, but you've only got ten minutes.
33:07Okay, okay. I'll be there. Bye-bye.
33:27Hello, Kenny boy.
33:35Going my way?
33:56Ah!
34:27Oh!
34:41One million dollars.
34:45You know, it's a good thing you got the license plate off that van.
34:48What's it registered to?
34:50Fortune's Roller Rings.
34:52I guess that does it.
34:54Well, we take a chance on that. I've never seen Rita alive.
35:03Now, ladies and gentlemen, to kick things off,
35:06Freddy's Fantastic, Phenomenal, and Fabulous Fortune Girls.
35:55Hello?
35:57Julia?
35:59No, but I have the money.
36:04Look ahead about 75 yards.
36:07See the drinking fountain?
36:13Yes.
36:15Put the knapsack in the trash barrel right beside it,
36:17then head south down the boardwalk.
36:19Don't look back. I've got people watching you.
36:21Head south down the boardwalk.
36:23Don't look back. I've got people watching you.
36:51Don't look back.
36:53Don't look back.
37:17You blow this, and I'll take my time with your girl.
37:21You understand?
37:23Yeah.
37:40Boz, look who's here.
37:47You better cover him. I'll watch the tip.
37:49Okay.
37:51Come on.
38:11Just what we need.
38:13The ransom.
38:14The lost and found.
38:21Okay.
38:51Freeze!
39:13Freeze!
39:21Freeze!
39:25Hey, what does that cop think he's doing?
39:27Boz, I don't think he's a cop.
39:29Well, we better find out. Hey, hold it!
39:38I'll get Kenny. You go after him.
39:40Thanks a lot.
39:51Stop!
40:07Stop!
40:18He's not a cop! Stop him!
40:21Oh!
40:30Oh, nice rep.
40:32I had a good angle.
40:34Looks like he won't be going anyplace for a long time.
40:38Gert, watch him for us, will you?
40:40Tiff, let's you and I get to the rink.
40:50Okay.
40:58Next up, from our very own Venice Beach,
41:00Reggie Martin and Susan Marks.
41:02They're hot, so let's hear it for them people!
41:20Yeah!
41:51Yeah!
42:15I've made a terrible mistake, and I know it.
42:17Please let me do something right for a change.
42:19All right.
42:42Come on!
42:47Come on!
42:50Come on!
43:18What a waste.
43:39Hold it!
43:48It's all my fault, Rita. I'm sorry.
43:52Your fault?
43:56Why don't you explain later?
43:58Might have time for one last dance if you hurry and get your wardrobe on.
44:02Come on.
44:17Come on.
44:29That's time, and that's great!
44:38Who are you?
44:40It's over, Freddy.
44:42All except for the last dance.
44:44The last dance?
44:46Open the mic. I'll tell you what to say.
45:03Now, ladies and gentlemen,
45:06the couple you've been waiting for,
45:10Kenny and Rita.
45:16Oh, my God!
45:46Oh, my God!
46:05Oh, my God!
46:16Oh, my God!
46:39Oh, my God!
46:41Oh, my God!
46:43Oh, my God!
46:45Oh, my God!
47:15Oh, my God!
47:25I'm going home.
47:27I want to thank you all. We owe you a very great deal.
47:30Well, we're just happy that Rita's all right.
47:33What do you think will happen to Kenny?
47:35Don't worry. I think the courts will go easy.
47:38We'll see that he has the best attorneys.
47:41Bye-bye. Good luck.
47:43Bye.
47:53Bosley, what are you doing?
47:56Well, I never liked that recruiting bit, you know.
47:59Gert here's gonna give me a few pointers so I can join the action.
48:02That's right. Put some glide in his stride.
48:05Show him your stuff. Go on.
48:07Now? Yeah.
48:13Let's go.
48:19Ha-ha!
48:43Ha-ha!
