00:00Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to the police academy.
00:06One in Los Angeles.
00:08One in San Francisco.
00:11The other in Boston.
00:14And they were each assigned very hazardous duties.
00:21But I took them away from all that.
00:24And now they work for me.
00:26My name is Charlie.
00:30My name is Charlie.

01:50My name is Charlie.
01:52My name is Charlie.
01:55I hope the real estate agent's out of here.
01:59Must be.
02:01The sign is gone.
02:04Huh.
02:06What's the matter?
02:08The burglar alarm has been turned off.
02:10One of the agents probably forgot to turn it back on.
02:13I guess so.
02:15I wonder if they got any offers on the place.
02:19Well.
02:23Considering we've had people tramping through here all day long,
02:27things look pretty good.
02:29Then why do I feel uneasy?
02:31It's just your imagination.
02:33I'm going to check the library.
02:35Why?
02:37I'm just going to. That's all.
02:48Harry.
02:50What's the matter with you?
02:52You know how I hate it when you do that.
02:54We're expected at the Burton's at 6 o'clock.
02:56It's an early dinner.
02:58Okay, okay.
03:00Scare a man to death.
03:02Come on.
03:21Just stay in the closet, lady.
03:23We don't want to hurt you.
03:33Angels, you've heard Mrs. Mayhew's story.
03:36Unfortunately, she was unharmed
03:38and her husband suffered only a mild concussion.
03:40He should be out of the hospital in a day or two.
03:43Can you describe what was stolen, Mrs. Mayhew?
03:46Yes. My husband owned a rare collection of Egyptian jewelry.
03:49Third dynasty.
03:51They were museum pieces.
03:53Insured for half a million dollars, angels.
03:55And the objects were all small and therefore easily transportable?
03:59The entire collection could be fitted into a handbag.
04:02Well, it was obviously a very carefully planned operation.
04:06I mean, with the burglar alarm turned off,
04:08the thieves taking only the Egyptian jewelry,
04:11and their knowing exactly where to find
04:13the display case that was kept in.
04:15And then to have scheduled it during the open house,
04:18when there were dozens of potential buyers
04:20going in and out all day long.
04:22Mrs. Mayhew, you said a caterer's van
04:24was parked across the street during the robbery?
04:26Yes.
04:28Oh, but Turone is the leading caterer in Beverly Hills.
04:32We've used him for parties ourselves.
04:34He would never be involved in anything like this.
04:37Sorry, Mrs. Mayhew, but the police do believe
04:39Turone's van was used by the thieves.
04:42Turone himself reported it stolen the afternoon of the robbery.
04:45It was found the next morning at the airport.
04:47Mrs. Mayhew, what real estate company has a listing on your house?
04:51Kingsbrook Realty.
04:53They're a very reliable firm.
04:55Angels, I think we've taken enough of Mrs. Mayhew's time.
04:59I know she's very anxious to visit her husband in the hospital.
05:02Yes, especially since Turone
05:05is catering his lunch personally today.
05:08I want to thank you for helping us, Mr. Thompson.
05:10Our pleasure, Mrs. Mayhew.
05:12Bosley will see you to the door.
05:14Thank you all.
05:15Goodbye, Mr. Bosley.
05:18Well, as the saying goes, our work is cut out for us.
05:21Yeah.
05:22Kingsbrook Realty.
05:24Isn't their slogan
05:26Kingsbrook, King of Beverly Hills or something like that?
05:28Yeah, that's the one, Barry Kingsbrook.
05:30Hires nothing but would-be gorgeous starlets
05:32who sell houses and anything else their clients are interested in.
05:35Hmm.
05:36Angels, I didn't want to say this in front of Mrs. Mayhew,
05:40but the police have investigated Barry Kingsbrook before
05:43on charges similar to these.
05:45They've never been able to prove anything.
05:47But before we start on Kingsbrook,
05:49let's clear up all the loose ends.
05:51Tiffany, check the Mayhew house.
05:53See what you can find.
05:55And Kelly, why don't you pay Tyrone a call?
05:58Maybe he can, uh, he can cater you some information.
06:18Oui.
06:19Hello, I'm Kelly Garrett.
06:21I have a 3 o'clock appointment with Tyrone.
06:23Ah, yes, Miss Garrett.
06:26Monsieur Tyrone is expecting you.
06:30Monsieur, Mademoiselle Garrett.
06:35Monsieur will be with you in a moment.
06:38Thank you.
06:40Mademoiselle Garrett, enchanté.
06:43Welcome to Tyrone.
06:45Everything is in readiness.
06:47Everything?
06:48Oh, but of course, you see,
06:49Tyrone believes that careful planning
06:51is the key to the successful affair.
06:54N'est-ce pas?
06:56That is why Tyrone does not talk catering.
06:59Tyrone caters.
07:01Hmm.
07:02Apprez-vous, eh?
07:03Shall we open?
07:07Voila, indeed.
07:09Well, I certainly wasn't expecting all this.
07:12Yes.
07:13I can't stay long, but we'll have a little taste.
07:15Very good.
07:16You see, where others say that their food is delicious,
07:19Tyrone proves his food is delicious.
07:22Ah.
07:23Apéritif, Mademoiselle?
07:24Oh, no, no, no.
07:25Ah, c'est bon.
07:27Tyrone, the table is magnificent.
07:30Ah, merci, merci.
07:32We will commence with soufflé épinard
07:36avec le sauce de anchois de Trion.
07:39Mm.
07:40Sounds wonderful.
07:42You know, the Mayhews were delighted
07:44with the meal you served Mr. Mayhew in the hospital.
07:46Well, you know the Mayhew?
07:48It's very strange,
07:49because I have never seen you at one of their parties.
07:52Oh, well, I've been living in Paris the past few years.
07:56I've so missed the social scene of Beverly Hills.
08:06Delicious.
08:07Merci.
08:11Tell me...
08:12Yes?
08:13Who's been attending the Mayhew parties these days?
08:16The usual guests.
08:18The mayor, always,
08:20and the very dear friends of movie stars,
08:22the older ones, you know.
08:24And I may add the real ones,
08:26like Barbara, Lana, Loretta, Paul, and Barry.
08:31Barry's always there.
08:32Barry?
08:33Barry Kingsbrook.
08:34Oh, yes, he's the king of the Beverly Hills real estate
08:37and my favorite client.
08:39Do you know, Mademoiselle,
08:41I cater his poker games.
08:44And while thousands of dollars are going from left to right,
08:47I'm serving him caviar
08:49and Tyrone's special delicacies that he likes.
08:52Now, from this we will move on to
08:56I'm so sorry, Tyrone,
08:58but I do have an appointment with my hairdresser.
09:00You are leaving, Mademoiselle,
09:01but the veal burgers are so sautéed in sherry with champignon.
09:04Oh, I hope you'll forgive me.
09:07But, Mademoiselle, you forget
09:08the dinner party that you mentioned the telephone, remember?
09:10You forgot to tell me how much you want to spend.
09:12Oh, yes, how thoughtless of me, Tyrone.
09:15Let's see, my budget only allows me to spend $1,000.
09:20Ah, meraviglie, because Tyrone can provide for you for $1,000
09:24a very intimate dinner for $20.
09:28Oh, nice.
09:29Unfortunately, I was thinking of something a little more elaborate.
09:32Say, $1,000 for two?
09:35Bonjour.
09:36Come on, Albert.
09:40Put the food back in the fridge.
09:42Damn it.
09:44Did I blow it?
10:10$1,000
10:41$1,000
11:03You're not a robber, señorita.
11:05No, I'm not a robber.
11:06I'm a friend of the Mayhew's.
11:07Who are you?
11:09Juan Garcia, señorita.
11:11El jardinero.
11:13The gardener.
11:14Ah, you were here.
11:15Si, señorita.
11:16Aha, were you here the day of the robbery?
11:19Si, señorita.
11:21You have any idea who might have stolen the jewels?
11:24No, señorita.
11:26Vinieron muchas personas.
11:28All day, many people, many cars.
11:31Who was the last one to leave, do you remember?
11:34Si, una mujer, a woman.
11:37I saw someone get in the car across the street and drive away.
11:42Then I went home.
11:44What did she look like, this woman?
11:46From across the street, señorita.
11:48My eyes are not so good.
11:51She was muy bonita.
11:53But the car, the car was different than the others.
11:56How was it different?
11:58Una station wagon, with a picture on the door.
12:02Picture, what kind of picture?
12:06Una corona.
12:07Halo, an angel.
12:10I'll show you.
12:11Okay.
12:19This was on the car.
12:24Una corona.
12:27Well, it looks like you were right about Kingsbrook Realty, Charlie.
12:31It seems that they're connected in some way with every possible suspect.
12:36Tina Filler certainly could have turned that burglar alarm off.
12:39And Taron is definitely connected to Kingsbrook.
12:42He told me so himself.
12:44Chris, why don't you go to work as an agent in Kingsbrook Realty?
12:48How do I do that, Charlie?
12:50By showing up. I got you the job yesterday.
12:53So what took you so long?
13:02Okay, I want all you new agents to remember that if it's south of Olympic, we aren't interested.
13:07If it's west of La Mesa Drive, pass, and if it's less than half a million, we can't waste our time on it.
13:13Mr. Kingsbrook.
13:14Yeah?
13:15Is it true that we're not allowed to wear slacks?
13:18Well, I can cover up those beautiful legs.
13:21Ladies, real estate is sexy.
13:24Now, the Kingsbrook company sells sexy houses, and it takes sexy ladies to bring in the bucks.
13:30Your job is to move the merchandise.
13:33Now, however you go about it, hey, that's your business, okay?
13:36Any more questions?
13:38No.
13:39Huh?
13:40Perfectly clear.
13:41Okay, I'll be assigning each one of you to an experienced agent for one week.
13:46You'll find out how we operate in the field, and, uh, I guess that's all.
13:50Thank you very much.
13:52Oh, uh, Terry, I wanted to ask you a question.
13:54Chris, could I talk to you for a minute?
13:56Yes, Mr. Kingsbrook.
13:57No, no, no, no. It's Barry.
13:59Everyone around here is on a first-name basis.
14:02Barry.
14:03Chris, I would like to see you sell a house a month, and let me give you a little tip.
14:07Check out your friends, find out who's getting a divorce. It's pure gold.
14:11What do you mean?
14:12Well, you see, for every divorce in Beverly Hills, there are actually three houses sold.
14:17The one the happy couple leaves behind, they have to sell it so they can divide up community property,
14:22and the two that each one of them buys after the split.
14:26I never thought of it that way.
14:27Well, if you start thinking about it that way, you'll make $100,000 in a bad year, okay?
14:33Okay.
14:35Is this a singles match, or can anybody play?
14:38Hi, babe.
14:41I wouldn't want to stop a good thing.
14:45Chris, this is Tina Fuller.
14:47Tina, this is Chris Monroe. She's a new girl in town.
14:50I can tell.
14:52She looks like she could move the merchandise.
14:54Oh, yeah.
14:55It's nice to meet you, Tina. I've heard great things about you.
14:58Some of it may even be true.
15:00Oh, and in case you have any plans for the man here, Chris, he and I are an item.
15:05What? You don't believe in multiple listings?
15:08No, dear.
15:09Well, listen, my only plans are to make some big bucks.
15:12I was just getting a few pointers.
15:14This girl speaks the native tongue, Barry.
15:16Welcome to the kingdom of Beverly Hills.
15:19And buy yourself a bucket, because if you're sharp, it's going to start raining money.
15:26I'm sorry.
15:27Either I speak with Mr. Kingsbrook personally, or I guess you lose the listing.
15:32Just a moment, please.
15:44Yes, Cindy, what is it?
15:46A Mr. Kingsbrook has been arrested.
15:48What?
15:49He's been arrested.
15:52Yes, Cindy, what is it?
15:54A Miss Ludlow on the line for you, Barry.
15:56She insists on speaking to you personally.
15:58What does she want?
15:59Well, she wants to sell her uncle's house.
16:01It's a $2 million listing, Barry.
16:03I'll take the call.
16:05Barry Kingsbrook here.
16:07Mr. Kingsbrook, Tiffany Ludlow.
16:09My aunt and uncle are on the Riviera for this season,
16:12and they've authorized me to sell their house during their absence.
16:15I have all the necessary legal papers, et cetera.
16:19And what's the address?
16:20601 Beverly Heights Drive.
16:23Can you come and see it?
16:25I can do better than that.
16:27I'll bring our A-team out and we'll give you an accurate appraisal.
16:30What's a good time for you?
16:31Oh, the sooner the better.
16:33I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.
16:36I'm looking forward to meeting you.
16:40I'll be here in an hour.
16:42You were perfect.
16:43Thank you.
16:44And now, for the little surprise that Charlie and I planned
16:47for the folks at Kingsbrook and Company.
16:50Mr. Kingsbrook should find these irresistible.
16:52Show us what you got, boss.
16:54The bait.
16:55And if Kingsbrook bites, his fence will have to find a buyer.
16:59So, he will have to call the one gentleman
17:02who specializes in this kind of merchandise.
17:04Who?
17:05Who Charlie just happens to know.
17:07Right.
17:08He's gone straight now, but he likes to keep up with the action.
17:12Got it. He'll call Charlie and we can spring the trap.
17:14Precisely.
17:15Ladies, would you like to feast your eyes on those little goodies?
17:21They're letters.
17:23Boss.
17:24Read on.
17:25And to paraphrase the bard,
17:27damned be she who first cries, hold!
17:30Enough.
17:35That's what I thought.
17:36Sure, Bosley.
17:45Let's go.
18:04At two million, it's a steal.
18:06Barry, I want the exclusive.
18:09I'm down, Tina.
18:10I'll tell you girls what I'm going to do.
18:12Now, the call came in to me personally,
18:14but I'm going to throw it up for grabs, okay?
18:16So, whoever sells this place gets half the commission.
18:19That's 40 or 50,000 big green ones.
18:21Got it?
18:23Okay, let's go.
18:33Oh, Mr. Kingsbrook.
18:35Won't you come in?
18:37Tiffany Ludlow.
18:38Hello. What a pleasant surprise.
18:40Thank you.
18:41Everyone, hello.
18:42Hello.
18:43How are you today?
18:44Go right into the garden and make yourselves at home.
19:08Miss Ludlow?
19:09Yes.
19:10You give us the run of the house for 20 minutes,
19:12and we will vanish out of your lives,
19:13but only for the time being.
19:15I'll be in the study going over my collection.
19:17If any of you have any questions,
19:19please don't hesitate to ask.
19:21I have a question.
19:22Yes.
19:23What do you collect?
19:24Rare letters.
19:25These are from the American Revolution.
19:27Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, et cetera.
19:29The collection's been in my family for generations.
19:32Well, they must be invaluable.
19:34Well, they're insured for two million,
19:36but of course I could never part with them.
19:38They're irreplaceable.
19:39Do you think we could get a look at them later?
19:41Anyone who wishes to share an exciting touch
19:44with American history is welcome to see them.
19:47I'll be in the study.
19:49I hope you like the house.
19:51Okay, girls, 20 minutes in and out.
19:53Let's go, huh?
19:56Miss Ludlow?
19:57Yes.
19:58I'd like to see your collection.
20:00Would you?
20:01Yes.
20:02I'm so glad you asked, Mr. Kingsley.
20:05Are you an epistolarian?
20:07Uh, I beg your pardon?
20:09An admirer of rare letters.
20:12Oh, no, no, but I'm interested.
20:14Please show me.
20:15Oh.
20:16Oh, thank you.
20:18They show the human side of our Founding Fathers.
20:22Rare love letters from George Washington
20:24to his mistress, Paris Albrecht.
20:27Old George had a mistress, huh?
20:29Oh, indeed he did.
20:31There's one from Benjamin Franklin to Mrs. Howe.
20:34They often played chess together.
20:36Hm.
20:37Do you mind if I read one?
20:39Of course.
20:41Just, uh, keep it in its plastic jacket.
20:44They are, after all, invaluable.
20:52Washington, Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin,
20:55anybody who was anyone in those days.
20:57I've seen them, and, uh, they got to be worth a fortune.
21:00They are worth a fortune.
21:02I know because, uh, I've got a buyer.
21:04That was fast.
21:05I got on it the minute you called.
21:07See, there's a fence in Miami who, uh, handles letters.
21:10I mean, he's the only one in the country.
21:12Now, I gave him a ring,
21:14and he's sending a buyer in from Palm Beach.
21:16A guy from Palm Beach, Florida.
21:18Uh, Jake Pickens is his name.
21:20Sent to me by my, uh, my contact in Miami.
21:23Mucho dinero.
21:25He collects letters.
21:27He's a real freak-o.
21:29Well, he wants letters, I got letters.
21:31I'll tell you, they're, uh, worth two million easy.
21:34Less my commission, of course.
21:36Of course.
21:37You, uh, you can set up an appointment.
21:39Can a fish swim?
21:41Okay, how about tomorrow, 12 o'clock,
21:43the Ambrochette room in Beverly Hills,
21:45and I'll pick up the tab naturally.
21:47Just one thing, Barry.
21:49My client insists on seeing the merchandise before he buys.
21:52That's no problem. I can arrange that.
21:54He'll be at the Ambrochette at noon.
21:56Remember, Jake Pickens.
21:58Got it.
22:22I'm sorry.
22:40Hey, Barry.
22:42You could knock, babe.
22:44Yeah, well, this is urgent.
22:46I'm about to close a $2 million deal, and you talk urgent?
22:48I think Chris What's-Her-Name is a phony.
22:50She's out there in the other room right now
22:52going over our listings,
22:54but not just any listings,
22:56only the homes that have been robbed.
22:58It could be a coincidence.
23:00Yeah, and Raquel Welch is Orphan Annie.
23:02What, do you think she's an insurance investigator?
23:04Or a cop.
23:06Okay, tell you what.
23:08You've got a friend at the real estate commission.
23:10Check into her background,
23:12find out where she went to real estate school,
23:14where she got her license, the whole works.
23:16Good idea.
23:18I'll check it out from my end.
23:20If she is a plant, she already knows too much.
23:24I might have to arrange
23:26a little accident for Miss Monroe.
23:30Why so sad?
23:34Oh, I just hate to see
23:36legs like those go to waste, that's all.
23:48Mmm, not bad.
23:50Not bad.
23:52Not like the fried chicken in Palm Beach,
23:54but not bad.
23:56What did you say the name of this place was?
23:58Ambrochette.
24:00Probably one of the most exclusive restaurants
24:02in Beverly Hills.
24:04People pay over $300 a month
24:06just for the privilege of eating lunch here.
24:08Well, I guess aside from the media
24:10and all that kind of stuff,
24:12it's a pretty good place.
24:14I mean, it's a pretty good place.
24:16I guess aside from the mediocre service
24:18and the poor food
24:20and my getting knocked half off of my chair
24:22almost all afternoon
24:24and with that horrible traffic noise
24:26and the gas fumes,
24:28you can call this pass and fare.
24:30But when are we going to get to the business at hand, boy?
24:32I mean, didn't Marty tell you
24:34that I have a busy schedule?
24:36Right now, Mr. Pickens, right now.
24:38Just call me Jake.
24:40All my good buddies call me Jake.
24:42Right, Jake.
24:44I want you to see a house this afternoon.
24:46You understand, for purposes of our discussion,
24:48we are referring to it as a house.
24:50Well, I call them letters,
24:52but if you want to call it the house, boy,
24:54you go right ahead.
24:56No, please, don't mention letters.
24:58This house is colonial, authentic.
25:00Washington, Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin
25:02all could have slept there, if you get my meaning.
25:04Then what I understand is
25:06that you want 2 million cold cash
25:08for this here colonial.
25:10That's right, delivery within the week.
25:12I don't have time for you anymore,
25:14because I'm going to hop on my little plane
25:16and go right back to Palm Beach.
25:18Now, you just let me see exactly what I'm going to buy,
25:20and I'll guarantee you that you'll have your cash
25:22within 48 hours.
25:24I like your style, Jake.
25:26Well, that's good, because I don't think
25:28very much of this restaurant of yours.
25:30Now, look, if you could just...
25:32would you call that fat boy and see if he can get my coffee
25:34over here without knocking me out of my chair?
25:36Later.
25:43You owe me one, Tina, and don't you forget it.
25:45Oh, cool down, Glenn.
25:47I'm just doing a job for my boss.
25:49Yeah, well, mine's going to come waltzing in here
25:51any minute from lunch.
25:53And if he sees you looking at his files,
25:55we are going to be in deep trouble.
25:57Well, Chris Monroe did not take
25:59her real estate exam here in L.A.
26:01So what?
26:03She got her real estate license in Sacramento.
26:05You saw the folder.
26:07Sure, sure, your boss gets a letter from his boss in Sacramento,
26:09and everything's okay.
26:11It's official here, no documents.
26:13It's not kosher, pal.
26:15It's not kosher at all.
26:17You know what's kosher, Tina?
26:19What?
26:21You and me out discoing tonight.
26:23And after that,
26:25we go back to my place
26:27and pick up where we left off last year.
26:29How about it?
26:31I have an even better idea.
26:33Name it.
26:35When you're ready to buy a house,
26:37call me,
26:39and we'll be going all night.
26:45You're all hot, Tina.
26:47You know that?
26:49See you later.
27:03Oh, that is nice.
27:05Well, well, well, here you are,
27:07I like that, that gives me confidence.
27:09Well, that's what I sell, Jake, confidence.
27:11Uh, Barry,
27:13this here is Miss Lucy Doolittle from Pensacola.
27:15Hi.
27:17Hi. It's a pleasure to meet a real southern lady, ma'am.
27:19Pleased to meet a western gentleman, sir.
27:21I've been listening to Mr. Pickens
27:23sing your praises ever since lunch.
27:27Unfortunately, Barry, I can't carry a tune,
27:29so that may not be a compliment.
27:31Jake, you're too much.
27:33May I present Chris Monroe,
27:35one of my real estate associates?
27:37Hello. How do you do?
27:39Would you like to continue this in the car?
27:41Hop in, and I think you're in
27:43for a few pleasant surprises.
27:45Oh, I like surprises, as long as they don't cost me money.
27:47It's funny.
27:49There's nothing funny when it comes to money, Barry.
28:05Thank you.
28:29Well, Jake?
28:31We'll see, we'll see, sir.
28:33I think you're gonna like it, Jake.
28:35Believe me.
28:37Oh, son, it's the kind of money we're talking about.
28:39I should love it.
28:41What a charming house.
28:43How much is it?
28:45Well, it's two million asking.
28:47We think it's a steal.
28:49Well, who's doing the stealing, honey?
28:51The buyer or the seller?
28:57Hello, everybody.
28:59Folks, this is Tina Fuller,
29:01another Barry Kingsbrook real estate specialist
29:03ready to serve you.
29:05Oh, Barry, Barry, Barry.
29:07Where do you find them?
29:09Why don't you all come in
29:11and have a glass of champagne and cool off?
29:13Okay?
29:15Go ahead, Jake.
29:17Oh, yeah.
29:25Allow me to present
29:27Taron Caterer to the stars.
29:29Merci, messieurs.
29:31Mademoiselles, messieurs.
29:33We have here a few delicacies
29:35to tempt the traveler's palate.
29:37My, my, my. You know a man could put on 50 pounds
29:39just looking at all that.
29:41Taron, the champagne, please.
29:43Ah, oui, monsieur. Champagne.
29:45Oh, lovely.
29:47Champagne pour vous.
29:49Mademoiselles.
29:51Thank you.
29:53Mademoiselles.
29:55Pardon, mademoiselles.
29:57We not met before.
29:59You remember...
30:01Oh, I hardly think so, Mr. Tyrone.
30:03But, you know, I do have a cousin
30:05that lives around here,
30:07and some folks think there's a certain likeness.
30:09Yes, but...
30:11Oh, Mr. Tyrone, I do envy you, sir.
30:13You must tell me the name of each and every star
30:15that you have ever gazed at.
30:17Mr. Kingsbrook.
30:19How nice to see you.
30:21Miss Ludlow, you look fabulous.
30:23Thank you, Mr. Kingsbrook. So do you.
30:25Thank you.
30:27Are these the buyers you mentioned?
30:29Yes, this is Mr. Jake Pickens of Palm Beach.
30:31My pleasure.
30:33Charmed.
30:35And his friend, Miss Doolittle.
30:37Hi.
30:39Hello.
30:41Would you like to join us for some hors d'oeuvres?
30:43Oh, I do love the way you sell houses.
30:45Thank you.
30:47You know, it turns out that you and Mr. Pickens
30:49have something in common.
30:51Oh, what's that?
30:53Treasures are made to be shared, Mr. Kingsbrook.
30:55Don't you agree?
30:57Oh, my philosophy exactly, Miss Ludlow.
30:59Mr. Kingsbrook,
31:01you are incorrigible.
31:09Ooh, not bad, not bad at all,
31:11if I say so myself.
31:13Have you seen the Franklin Letter to the Marquesa?
31:15Seen it, my dear?
31:17I memorized it.
31:19I have never seen anything like it, Miss Ludlow.
31:21Tell me about your collection, Mr. Pickens.
31:23Well, at the last appraisal,
31:25it was valued at a quarter of a million dollars,
31:27but that is not even in the same ballpark
31:29as these little darlings.
31:33I, uh, I gather you like them, Jake?
31:35Oh, you gather correctly, son.
31:37Maybe Miss Ludlow knows where you can get some that are similar.
31:39Hmm.
31:41Well, Mr. Pickens, I wish I could,
31:43but these are one of a kind.
31:45They've been in my family for generations.
31:47There's no way I could ever part with them.
31:49Not for any price?
31:51Not for any price.
31:53Oh.
31:55Well, I guess then
31:57I should just reconcile myself.
31:59Why don't you and me talk price
32:01about the house, Mr. Kingbrook?
32:05At least I can buy something today.
32:07Would you excuse us, Miss Ludlow?
32:09Of course.
32:11Thank you.
32:20Shh, shh.
32:22You, uh, like them, Jake?
32:24Oh, I don't just like them, son.
32:26I want them real bad.
32:28You got them.
32:30Just have the money ready Saturday afternoon.
32:32I'll tell you where to deliver when the time comes.
32:34Then Sunday morning,
32:36I'm on my little plane to Palm Beach.
32:38Now, that only gives you 24 hours, son.
32:40You think you can handle it?
32:42Remember my motto, Jake.
32:44Bury Kingsbrook where the client is king.
32:46Ho-ho.
32:49I think we've zeroed in on the rat.
32:51Uh-huh.
32:53Now all we have to do is get the rat into the trap.
32:55You northern girls sure do talk dirty.
33:12Excuse me.
33:14Can I talk to you for a moment, Barry?
33:16Sure. Excuse me, Jake?
33:18Yes, I...
33:20Not now, Tina.
33:22Barry, it's now or never.
33:24I had a friend of mine
33:26check Chris's file in Sacramento,
33:28and it doesn't exist.
33:30She has to be a plant.
33:32Well, well.
33:34I told you not to bring her.
33:36Why did you?
33:38Okay, hold it down.
33:40I learned something a long time ago.
33:42If somebody is watching you,
33:44keep an eye on them.
33:46Don't worry. Chris Monroe's dead.
34:09Well, uh...
34:11Yes, Miss Ludlow.
34:13The open house is doing just fine.
34:15Well, my people will be there from 1 to 5.
34:17You can come back any time after 5.
34:19Okay.
34:21Well, thank you. Bye.
34:23You wanted to see me?
34:25Yeah, Chris, I wanted to go over some new listings with you,
34:27but we'll work out at my place
34:29and kind of get away from the phones, you know?
34:31Oh, I can't.
34:33I have a meeting with a very important client in ten minutes.
34:35This is not a request, my dear.
34:37It's what you're going to do,
34:39so you might as well put a smile on the pretty little face of yours.
34:41Honey, I am gone for the day.
34:43No phone calls under any circumstances,
34:45and don't try to find me.
34:47Barry, this is a qualified buyer.
34:49He's going to make an offer on a million-six house.
34:51We have the exclusive.
34:53Do you know what the commission's going to be?
34:55You are going to love my place.
34:57You know there's not another one like it in Beverly Hills?
34:59The man I bought it from was a million-dollar-a-picture actor,
35:01and he's got a room in there called the Bomb Shelter.
35:03You are not going to believe.
35:05Barry, I don't want to go.
35:07Well, then you're fired. Is that what you want?
35:11Well,
35:13you certainly can be convincing.
35:15This way.
35:27I don't understand it.
35:29Where is Chris? She was due here 20 minutes ago.
35:31Why don't we call her at Kingsbrook's office?
35:35Well, let's give her five more minutes.
35:37Well, it looks like the last ones are leaving now.
35:41Bye-bye now.
36:01Buzz, there's Tiffany.
36:07Come on.
36:15Hi. Hi.
36:17All right, everybody's left the house except Tina Fuller.
36:19And that little sweetheart has just unlocked the front door
36:21and turned off the burglar alarm.
36:23I figure it's the same thing she did at the Mayhew house
36:25the day of the robbery there.
36:27Have you seen Chris? No.
36:29Haven't you?
36:31Well, that does it, then. I'm going to phone her at the office.
36:33Look.
36:37Come on.
37:03Come on in, guys.
37:05It's that way.
37:07Let's go.
37:25All right, don't move.
37:29Hold it!
37:31Get up slowly, gentlemen.
37:35Come on.
37:43Hold it!
37:45Hold it!
37:57Where's Chris?
37:59How should I know?
38:01All I did was unlock the door.
38:03If that's what happened, you're an accessory.
38:05Now, where is she?
38:09Come on. Let's go.
38:33Come on.
38:55Chang will be in the bomb shelter.
38:57This way.
39:03The movie star I bought this place from
39:05was convinced that someone was out to get him,
39:07so he had this bomb shelter constructed.
39:11AprĂšs vous.
39:15It pays to be crazy, right?
39:17Paranoid's paradise.
39:19Now, wouldn't you like to, uh,
39:21get out of those hot clothes
39:23and slip into something comfortable?
39:25I'd like to get back and sell that house.
39:27Uh-huh.
39:29Well, you know what they say about all work and no play.
39:31Oh, well, you know what they say about all play
39:33and no commissions.
39:35Tell you what.
39:37Let's get into the hot tub and talk about your future
39:39with the company, okay?
39:41And don't worry. I have a suit for every size.
39:43Hmm.
39:45Well, when in Rome.
39:47Right this way.
39:55601 Beverly Heights Drive.
39:57They're waiting for you, Sergeant.
39:59Please hurry.
40:01Right.
40:05Time is running out, Tina.
40:07It'll go a lot easier on you
40:09if you tell us where Chris is.
40:15Barry took her to his place,
40:17but I had absolutely nothing to do with it.
40:29Hello.
40:33Dynamite, you know,
40:35maybe I should double your commission.
40:37Why? Do you think I'd wear the suit?
40:39Here you go.
40:41Pure fruit juice and vitamins.
40:43Here's to...
40:45moving the merchandise.
40:596021 Johnson Hall,
41:01014,
41:03no one at my 6.
41:05Take 5.
41:07No to a live call.
41:111681, Chris.
41:15Take 5.
41:17No to a live call.
41:29Take 5.
41:49This is nice, isn't it?
41:51It's nice. It's real nice.
41:55Who hired you, Chris?
41:59What do you mean?
42:01Chris, who hired you?
42:07What did you put in that drink?
42:09It's just fruit juice.
42:11Of course, there was a coating on the glass.
42:13A drug on it.
42:15Nice little drug.
42:17Now, are you gonna answer
42:19some of my questions?
42:21I wanna know who you're working for,
42:23and I wanna know how much you know about my operations.
42:25Oh, I'm so sleepy.
42:29Ah.
42:33Now, you listen to me.
42:35Unless I administer an antidote,
42:37they're gonna find you here
42:39simmered like an artichoke,
42:41cooked to death.
42:43Now, are you gonna talk to me,
42:45or do I have to leave you here to die?
42:47No.
42:50Okay, babe.
42:52I gave you every chance
42:54that I had to get you out of here alive.
42:56Now, you're getting out
42:58of here alive,
43:00and I'm gonna get you out
43:02of here alive.
43:04I love you.
43:06I'll get you out of here alive,
43:08and I'll get you out of here alive.
43:10I love you, baby.
43:12I love you, baby.
43:14I love you.
43:16I love you.
43:18I gave you every chance, there's nothing more I can do for you now.
43:48You got me.
44:01Dietrich Exterminators?
44:03No.
44:04No?
44:05Mr. Kingsbrook telephoned us.
44:07You've got termites.
44:08Sorry, no need termites.
44:10We're not selling them. You have them.
44:12No, I have termites.
44:13have tupperware, silverware, all kind of ware.
44:17No termites.
44:18We mean bugs.
44:21You sell bugs?
44:22Mr. Kingsbrook sent for us.
44:24May we see him, please?
44:26He busy.
44:27He's really going to be bugged if you
44:30don't tell him about his bugs.
44:31Sorry, Mr. Kingsbrook.
44:32He busy.
44:33Well, I'm sorry, but we're going to have to insist.
44:37You sell termites with gun?
44:39Ay-yah.
44:40Excuse me.
44:41Ay-yah.
44:42Singa-nga.
44:48Chang.
44:50Chang.
44:59Chris?
45:01You didn't really think I'd drink that, did you?
45:04Look, we can make a deal, OK?
45:06I know we can make a deal.
45:08I don't think so.
45:10Think about it, Chris.
45:11A million dollars I'm talking about, OK?
45:14Tax-free.
45:15No strings.
45:16I'm talking about a million dollars.
45:18A million dollars, Chris.
45:19Now, I'm good for it.
45:20Ask anybody.
45:21Come on.
45:22Come on.
45:23Come on.
45:24Come on.
45:25Come on.
45:26Come on.
45:27Come on.
45:28Come on.
45:29Come on.
45:30Come on.
45:31Come on.
45:33Come on.
45:47Chris!
45:54Chris!
45:56I think that's called moving the merchandise.
45:59Chris!
46:07Looking for a house?
46:09This one's a steal.
46:11Where do you see the playroom?
46:13Come on.
46:14Come on.
46:15Come on.
46:16Come on.
46:29Well, Charlie, most of the stolen items,
46:31including the Mayhew's Egyptian jewelry,
46:33were found in a warehouse in San Francisco.
46:35You see, apparently, Kingsbrook was selling them one at a time
46:39whenever he was in need of money to cover his poker debts.
46:42That's one of the reasons it was so hard to trace.
46:45Kingsbrook, in his own way, was a shrewd operator.
46:48Oh, a man of impeccable taste, Charlie.
46:50He stole nothing but the best.
46:52Speaking of impeccable taste, Angels,
46:54I think you deserve a special reward
46:56for the fine job you did.
46:58Bosley, show the Angels what I had in mind.
47:01I thought that you would never mention it, Charlie.
47:04As for myself, I cannot stomach the idea.
47:07But on behalf of the Angels,
47:09I thank you and bid you adieu.
47:11Heidi, do you get the feeling
47:13Bosley's trying to tell us something?
47:15With all the subtlety he can muster.
47:17And our boss is not known for his subtlety.
47:19Ladies, please, you are spoiling the surprise.
47:22Voila!
47:25Marseille, Marseille.
47:27Mesdames.
47:29Oh, boy.
47:31Tyrone.
47:33Tyrone has created this irresistible morsel
47:36to caress your palate.
47:38Ah, terrific.
47:40May I serve you, monsieur?
47:42No, no, no, Tyrone. Really, I shouldn't.
47:44Oh, you see, Bosley's on a diet.
47:47Yes, he has to lose 10 pounds this month.
47:49Stakes his reputation on it, don't you, boss?
47:52Yes, that's true.
47:54But, of course, it's not every day
47:56that we get a chance to celebrate
47:58the rescue of letters by George Washington,
48:01Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin,
48:03our founding fathers.
48:05Bosley, your diet.
48:07Think of your reputation.
48:09Greater love hath no man
48:11than he lay down his diet for his country.
48:14Oh, no. Here.
48:16Bravo.
48:22THE END
