Charlie's Angels

Comin' out again. That's nine, Comin' out.

1" One

1" One

You've got that look again.

Have you got something to do for a couple of hours?

Is he coming over? Yeah.

Well, you don't sound thrilled. I'd really rather not.

So don't. It's not so easy.

He doesn't want to let go.

I'll leave the dead bolt open.

I'll tiptoe.

We 'Ve gone over all the available information, Charlie.

The problem is, we're not sure exactly what we're dealing with. Here you go.

Mr. Howell, what are we dealing with here?

The Las Vegas Police are calling Mary Phillipe's death accidental.

Mary Phillips was a very good driver, and when she left the casino she was sober.

Now, there's no reason for her to hit that car at that speed.

Mr. Howell, the attendant who was run down in your parking lot last week--

The police are calling that a hit and run?

I'd call it a killing. A nice kid that never hurt anybody.

So you're saying it was deliberate.

I didn't think so until Mary was killed.

All right. Then let's assume that the accidents weren't accidents. Why?

At the risk of sounding paranoid,

I'd say somebody was trying to gaslight me.

I mean, I get phone calls and nobody at the other end of the line.

I go up to my suite, and I notice that my furniture is slightly moved.

Anything taken?

No.

Mr. Howell, you're in an extremely competitive and" and lucrative business.

You no doubt have enemies.

I'm the sole owner of the Tropicana.

No ex-partners. I've never hurt anybody.

I've never cheated anyone.

I wouldn't even if I wanted to. Vegas is a clean to wn.

All I want are answers, and I want 'em fast.

I want them fast, because I don't want any more of my people killed.

And I don't care what it costs, Mr. Townsend.

I love that song. Bos/ey!

Then I suggest, Mr. Howell, the five of you take

Uh, Charlie, you think maybe we could take a later flight?

Um, I think maybe we're gonna need a cover.

Yeah, like some new clothes.

Some new shoes.

Right. I think maybe I'm going to do something with my hair.

Maybe a perm.

Yeah.

I don't know. No?.

Well, maybe.

Hmm.

Tell me something. Do casino owners gamble?

You mean, do I? Yep, that's exactly what I mean.

Well, I won this place in a crap game.

Love a client with a sense of humor.

Come on-- Come on in.

You inherited.

What? I said, you got this place with family money.

Look at that.

Are you gonna gamble?

Listen, I'm not trying to pry into your personal affairs.

It's just that how you got all this could be relevant to the case.

Miss Duncan, you're hard to convince. I won this thing in a crap game.

Oh, come on now. Nobody gets all this that easily. I didn't say it was easy.

It took three days and three nights.

You're really not kidding, are you? No, I am not.

I'm not kidding at all. All right. Then where is the man that you got all this from?

He is nowhere. He just walked right out that door...

and shot himself right through the head.

Aww, no!

We'll hold our command post here, huh?

"Command post"? Ex-army? Tank corps.

And here are four bedrooms interlocking.

Each of you have a special entry to the hall,

so no one will know you're all together.

And the four phones-- You all have your special extensions.

Well, we ought to get busy establishing our covers.

Well, I told the business office that you're here as my

I'm not sure I know exactly what that means.

Well, don't worry about it. Neither do they.

Marty Cole is looking for a backup girl singer for his lounge act.

Bosley said you sing, so I set up an audition for you this afternoon.

Marty Cole. I used to listen to his records when I was a kid.

- Tell him you played 'em in college, okay? - Oh.

And you have an audition with the dance captain.

Terrific.

What about my cover? Oh, I have yours right here.

Hitch, hip, hitch, hip, kick, ball, change, kick, ball, change.

Hitch, hip and stop.

J" a” Excuse me, could you point out Joan Wells?

Thank you.

Miss Wells? Yeah.

Listen, I hate to bother you. My name is Kelly Garrett.

I'm a friend of your roommate, Mary Phillips.

Oh, I guess you haven't heard... about Mary's accident.

Yeah, I heard-- yesterday when I arrived from Dallas.

It's not bad enough to find out Mary's dead,

then to get here and find out the audition is to replace her.

You knew Mary in Dallas? We studied dance together.

She'd written and suggested I come out and try for a job.

Listen, I-- I'm kind of upset.

Can we talk more later?

Sure. Thank you.

Guess what. What?

You win this week's piece of free advice. Lucky me.

It goes like this: Go back to Dallas 'cause I've been waiting

And as far as I can see, you're the only competition here.

Thank you very much. Very nice. Next!

Okay, it goes like this. And step, ball, change, step, ball, change.

Step, hip, step, hip. Step, two, three, step, two, three.

Step, hip, step, hip.

I think I have it.

Okay, let's see it. Ready? Okay.

Step, hip, step, hip. Kick, two, three, kick, two, three and stop.

J" I You learn quick.

I've called a rehearsal with the other girls.

You think if I ran you through it once with them you could make the dinner show?

Why, I think I can make a run at it. Okay, we'll give you a chance.

Great. Thank you. Audition's over.

Take five, girls. We're going through the whole number.

Hey, you got some nice moves. Thank you. Think I can cut it?

Sure. Now guess what you win.

Come on with me.

Mr. Howell, do you-- Formality makes me nervous.

Now let's get down to first names. Okay.

Do you have any reason not to trust any of the people who work for you here?

Oh, no. They've all been with me since the Roundhouse days.

What are "the Roundhouse days"? Well, first joint I operated.

It was in a train shed on the east side of Philadelphia.

You had a casino in a train shed? Well, only at night.

You see, they cleaned the engines during the day.

It was sort of a floating crap game.

Uh-huh. Did you show a profit?

I always show a profit. Always?

Always. How do you do that?

I'm blessed. You mean, you're lucky.

No, I mean, I'm blessed.

Well, the word "blessed" usually has a theological connotation,

When you were a kid, you never spent much time on the street. It shows?

Well, you're suffering from structured thinking.

You sure about that? I'm sure of only one thing, that's winning--

and that you and I are going to be more than just friends.

But that you already know, don't you, Sabrina?

I might have known it before you did.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

1” Let's see if the puzzle fits

1" 80 fine

I'll, uh, see you guys at 3:30.

It sounded terrific. How you doin'?

You tell me your name is Leslie, and I'll drop in a dead faint.

Well, I would hate to have you do that, Mr. Cole.

My name's Kris Munroe. I heard you were looking for a backup singer.

You, uh-

You sing like you look?

Well, I don't know. Do I look hungry?

Are you?

Well, let me put it this way:

I am probably closer to fainting than you are.

Okay, let's hear you sing something.

Okay.

Uh, anything in particular you'd like to hear?

Anything you want. All righty.
