Charlie's Angels (2011): Season 1, Episode 4 - Angels in Chains - full transcript

Based on a teleplay from the original "Charlie's Angels" series, the girls must break out of jail in their quest to crack a case. This time, they pose as unsuspecting American tourists to ...

You "re looking at'
Cuba, Angels.

It may only be
90 miles south of Miami,

bu! it's a whole
different world.

Why am I guessing
this geography lesson

doesn't end in a
free vacation, Charlie?

Afraid not. You've been hired
to find and rescue Tess Walters.

She was kidnapped in
Cuba three weeks ago.

Tess 100k the semester 0f f0 do
human rights work down there.

She's the sixth American woman
to be kidnapped in this area

in the last year.

Where's Bosley?



Already on the ground.
He's lining up an inside man.

This person will make contact
with you once you're in position.

Of course, there is the whole

getting-in-and-out-of-Cuba
issue, Charlie.

I've already taken care of that.

You're going undercover
as American tourists.

Loud and obnoxious, I assume?

Whatever gets you notice.

Once you have Tess,

I've arranged for a boat
to take you to my yacht,

which will be waiting
in international waters.

And what's our time frame?

24 hours.

Good luck, Angels-
ANGELS: Thanks, Charlie.



Thank you.

Oh, you guys,
this place is adorable.

You know, the whole
country is just so quaint.

Isn't it?

Here you go, caballero.

The bags are in the trunk.

Come on, Eve.

Whoo-hoo.

Hi. Good morning.

Hi.
Hi.

- Hi.
- Hi.

You must be Miss Prince.
Uh-huh.

We've been waiting for you.
Are you three for check-in?

Mm-hmm.
Yes.

Mm-hmm. We are ready
to sun, fun, and party.

Ooh.

Ohh. You are so kind.
Gracias-.

Cold, hard American cash.
Yes.

Uh, let me see.

I have you here.

Um, take a drink,
and we make sure your rooms are ready,

and leave your bags.
No problem.

- Enjoy.
- Thank you.

Enjoy.

Yeah, gracias.

Okay.

Fabulous. Thank you.

Mmm!

Thank you so much.

Gracia.

Operation Stupid
Americans is under way.

Acting like I'm on spring break

may be the hardest part
of this whole deal.

Now why would
anyone want to act like that?

Oh.

Are you one of the locals?

Yo Juan Bosley,

abogado attorney at law,
a fu serv/c/o.

Oh, a communist lawyer.
That is so cute.

You never know when you
might need a lawyer.

All right.

Our inside man's in place.
His name is Santos.

He'll initiate contact
and deliver your tools.

Now let's pretend I just made
the funniest joke ever.

Oh, my God!
You kill me!

Es may I000-El es may loco.

WOW!

Oh, my God!

Oh.

Ohh. Well, it was
so nice to meet you.

Your English is very good.

Gracias, senoritas.

Ladies, let's go
put on our bathing suits.

Excuse me?

Wait. Wait.
I don't know.

Are we getting arrested?

No.

What are you...

On what grounds
are you arresting these women?

Who are you?

Me? Yo soyJuan Bosley,
abogado I'm from Havana.

But they have done nothing.

Oh.
Oh.

That's not good.

I'm sorry, ladies, but I can't help you.
Good luck.

What?
Are... are those drugs?

That's not ours.

Somebody planted that!
This is some kind of mistake.

Don't you speak American?

Wait a second!
Let us go!

You can't keep us here.

You are now inmates of the
Val Verde women's prison.

Here, I am the law.

You cross me and
you will pay dearly.

Don't we get a phone call?
We have rights.

Americans have no rights here.

W... what is she saying?
I don't know.

Once upon a time
there were three young womn

who got into very big trouble.

Now they work for me.

My name is Charlie.

I'm guessing
there isn't a salad bar.

So, did you time
all the guard rotations?

Every 15 minutes,
like clockwork.

Don't worry. I memorized the
maps and verified our intel.

Any sign of Tess?

Nada.

They're definitely
keeping American girls

separate from all
general population.

You don't like your food?

How do you screw up
rice and beans?

From your Cuban lawyer.
Earwigs. 800-foot range.

Should allow you to talk
within the prison.

I'm Santos.

Is Tess Walters
with the other Americans?

No. She got thrown
in the hole last night.

What did she do?

Attacked the warden.

My kind of girl.

Do you have my tools?

Getting your friend out of the
hole is gonna be impossible.

Let us worry about Tess.

Just make sure you're at
the back gate before dawn.

Our contact will be there with
a food delivery van at 5:00 a.m.

Don't be late.

The hole wasn't
a part of the plan.

How do we get her out of there?

Kate and I are gonna
get thrown in.

When I hit you,
stay down and go to your cell.

Yes, ma'am.

This is all your fault!

You bitch!

Estupida!

Let go of me!

WOMAN". Hola, gringa.

WOMAN". Hey, gringa.

Tess.

Who are you?

We're private detectives
sent by your parents.

Don't talk. They'll hurt us.

Hey, hey, hey. hey.
It's okay. It's okay.

We're gonna get you out of here.

The warden told me that no one's
ever escaped from this prison.

Well, we're about
to break that streak.

It's hopeless.

No. No, it's not.
Tess, look at me.

I've been in prison before,

and the first thing they try
and do is break your spirit,

but you're stronger than that.

You don't know
what happens here.

You can tell us.

They force us.

They let them have us,
make us do things.

If you don't do everything that
they tell you, they kill you.

I've seen it.

Two of your girls got
themselves thrown into the hole.

They've been there for hours.

They're very good
at what they do.

I'm not gonna
change the plan now.

This thing is a lot more
complicated than you said.

I'll double your fee.

Just get my team
out the back gate.

I'll be there in 30 minutes
in a prison food van.

No one's gonna be the wiser.
Just stick to the plan.

Bring me my money.

You know, you may dress
like a communist, SenorSantos,

but you definitely
act like a capitalist.

You're up late.
Or is it early?

Samantha Masters.

So formal.
Are you that way with all your exes?

The last time I saw you,
you were a hacker playboy

who spent his days penetrating
the firewalls of European banks

and spent his nights doing
the same to European women.

Until I met you.

We did have
a good time, didn't we?

A blast...

Till I discovered you were CIA.

I almost had you in Geneva.

"Almost" doesn't get the job
done, though, does it?

No.

What are you doing
in Cuba, John?

I like mojitos and rumba music.

What about you?
I got demoted when you ran.

You mean,
when you failed to catch me.

Oh, don't worry.
I won't make the same mistake twice.

That's the third time
you've checked your watch.

Got a hot date in the
middle of the night?

You can't hold me.

I'm the one
with the gun this time.

Then shoot,
because I have to go.

In the last three days,

you visited
Val Verde prison twice,

paid off one of the guards,

and bought a piece-of-crap van.

That's a lot of prep,
but I just can't figure out the score.

There isn't
a score. Okay?

I'm not a criminal anymore.

I don't remember hearing about
you paying your debt to society.

I was given a second chance.

Well, aren't you
the man of mystery?

I have a powerful mentor
who cut a deal for me.

And what does this
nameless angel of mercy do?

Among other things,
he has a detective agency in Miami.

John Bosley, Pl?

Are you serious?

I'm here to rescue an American.

She's... she's been held
in Val Verde prison,

and I have three other people
on the ground with me.

Where are they?

Incarcerated.

That sounds like
a fantastic plan, John.

If I'm not outside that
gate in 20 minutes,

they become permanent residents.

You think you can flash
those baby browns at me

and I'm going to believe you?

I don't care what you believe.

Six American women have been
falsely imprisoned under your nose,

and I've got
people on the inside

trying to remedy that situation.

I need to leave right now.

You're not going anywhere.

All my cards
are on the table, Sam.

Fine...

But I'm driving.

Come on.

Okay, ladies.
I'm on the move.

Kate?

Kate?

Eve?

Damn it.

Abby?

Water must have
fried the earwig.

Mine's not working, either.

Your friend better hurry.

The guards will
come back for us soon.

I don't want them to
put their hands on me again.

No, Tess, they're not gonna
put their hands on you.

We're getting you out of here.
All right?

This time tomorrow, you will be home.
I promise you that.

Thank you.

Of course.
It's why we're here, okay?

It's gonna be okay.

Abbs?

It's them. I told you!

It's okay. It's okay.

Wait a minute!
Where are you taking us?

Don't ask questions.
Move.

Hold on, Tess.

Get tired of waiting?
Eh.

Guards trying to give us
special treatment.

Nothing new. Come on, Tess.
Homestretch.

5:15 a.m. Mainlines are
crawling with guards. Let's go.

The next time you go
shopping for vans in Cuba,

give me a call.

I don't plan on coming back.

Won't do much good in a chase.

There isn't gonna be a chase.

Buenas noches, senoritas.

Alto.

Bos, it's Abby.
Do you copy?

Good morning, Angels.
I got you loud and clear.

Then you're in position?

Right at the back gate
with the food van.

We have Tess.

You guys okay?

Eh, nothing that a shiatsu and a
pomegranate martini can't cure.

See you soon.
Por aqui.

We're almost in the yard, okay?

I can see you.

No, no, no!
We have guns.

They have AKs.
We need to be smart about this.

You think we're
third world? Huh?

You think that by
buying off that ch/vafo,

you could break out of my house?
Well, you're wrong.

Wait, wait.
No, no, no, no. Wait.

We've been here for hours.
There is no play here.

There's always a play.
We just need to find it.

In broad daylight?

We have transportation arrangements
that aren't going to wait.

Be that as it may,
you can't save them right now.

I get it, you care about your
team, but you just can't...

Wait a minute.
Aren't you CIA?

Can't you make a call?

To what? Help with your
unauthorized prison break?

Those women are being
illegally detained.

I can't call for
reinforcements, okay?

'Cause there aren't any.

It's just me.

So you weren't just demoted.

You were exiled.

To the worst duty station
in the western hemisphere,

thanks to you.

MAN". Vamos. Alante!

It's them.

Where are they taking
all those women?

I do not believe this.
That's Jonathan Cartwright.

Is that supposed
to mean something?

That your rescue mission
just hit a major land mine.

Jonathan Cartwright's
an American businessman,

and I use the word
"business" loosely.

He only cuts deals with drug
cartels and terrorist groups.

The CIA insists
he's in Venezuela.

I told them he was here.

What's his business in Cuba?

Good old-fashioned capitalism.

When the Castro brothers
buy the collective farm,

this country's
gonna be up for grabs.

What's kidnapping Americans
have to do with that?

I don't know,

but if I nail him,
that's my ticket back to the big leagues.

Looks like we've both got skin
in this game now. Come on.

Looks like they went southwest.

Don't do this to me now.

Come on. Come on!

Vamos.

Adelante!

Come on, ladies.

I'll see you in a while, Tess.

Make yourselves pretty.

The customers will be
here in a few hours.

Come on. come on.

Customers?

Yeah, apparently
we're the merchandise.

The warden's using the
prisoners as prostitutes.

Pick a dress.

How could you do this
to other women?

Oh, not to other women,
just Americans.

You've been doing it
to us for decades.

If you think we're playing dress
up, you can go to hell.

You do as I say
or I will put a bullet...

in each one of you,
starting with your little friend.

Please, just do what she says.

Never thought I'd be this pissed
off in a room full of shoes.

Mr. Cartwright.

Gentlemen.

Here are some ladies who have chosen
to grace us with their presence.

They're here to entertain you,

so I hope you enjoy
everything they have to offer.

That's Cartwright.
He owns this place.

I'm his favorite.

Tess.

Did you miss me?

Why don't I entertain you?

Maybe later.

Play it cool.

We're gonna get
Tess out of here.

I'm gonna find a way
to alert Bosley, okay?

Got it.

Tell him to get a bigger van.

We're leaving
with all the girls.

Time to get our party on, girls.

I don't like this, John.

We do have a lead on the
person who took the Angels.

Angels?

Charlie...

I'm putting you on with Samantha Masters.
She's CIA.

I didn't realize you
contacted outside help.

I didn't.

Samantha Masters here.

Jonathan Cartwright
is the man responsible.

Cartwright. I know the nam.
He's a serious player.

How long before you two
can track him down .7

The man has eight
residences in Cuba,

never sleeps in the same bed twice.
It could take a while.

John, my boat will be arriving
in Cuban waters in six hours.

The bay is heavily patrolled,

and I've pulled every string I
ha ve f0 get' us {his window.

If you and the Angels
aren't there,

the ship will not
be able to wait.

Keep me posted, John.

Will do.

Come on.
I've got us a car.

Look at this...
Just the last drop.

Un poquito mas, papi.

Mmm-hmm.

Oh!

Wow.

It's good.

Oh, yeah.

Damn it.

Hello?
Bos, it's Abby.

Abby.

I can't talk right now, okay?
Track this call.

All right, you got it.
I'm on it.

Who were you talking to?

I said, who were you talking to?

Nobody.

He's drunk.
He fell asleep.

I was trying to wake him up.

If he's too drunk,
find another guy.

Him. Go.

Bosley's on the way.

I'm gonna get us
something to drink.

Bosley's coming.

We're leaving soon.
Be ready.

There's just one guard
patrolling the front door.

I'm going in.

Pull the truck up front.

Be careful.

You won't mind if I borrow this.

Drop the gun.
Get on the ground.

Don't even think about it!

Drop your weapons
or I'll kill Tess!

Put yours down.

What are you doing?

You pull the trigger,
all the guns go off, everyone dies.

What the hell
are you doing, Eve?

I'm giving him a hostage.
Get the girls and get out now.

We're not leaving without you.

Yes, you are.

She's right.

Let's go!

Tess, get up and go now.

Come on, girls, let's move.
Go. Come on.

Go. As fast as you can.
As fast as you can. Go.

Go.

Let's go. Get in.

Come on.
I got you. I got you.

GO, go! go'

Let's go, let's go!
What about Eve?

We'll get her back, I promise.

GO, go!

I have the footage
from the security camera.

The woman...

She's CIA.

Her name is Samantha Masters.

She's the reason I don't
use the same phone twice.

I didn't know she was involved.

Do you have any idea how
many deals went south today?

I'm sorry.

Aah! Oh.

You're a peasant.

I gave you a chance.

You want your little share
of the New Cuba?

You're gonna have to
earn it all over again.

You have some training.

You came here on a mission.

But my guess is,

you're not a government
operative. No.

You're freelance.

Brilliant guess.

Well...

I'm through guessing.

One way or another, I'm gonna find out
everything there is to know about you.

You won't get a word out of me.

That's what they all say.

We've got a yacht
meeting us in the bay.

It should be here
in less than two hours.

Until then, we need to stay
together and out of sight.

There is a clearing about
100 yards into the woods.

Here you go.

What about Eve?

Don't worry.
She's coming, too.

Tess'?

I need you to be strong.

You keep an eye on the girls
until we get back, okay?

Attagirl.

Come on. Let's go.

Let's get you girls into hiding.
Come on. Let's go.

Come on, girls. This way.
Watch your step.

There we go.

Every po/ic/a on the island
has your mug shots by now,

and Cartwright's put a
bounty on your heads.

It's suicide.

I'm not leaving Eve behind.

You got the other girls out.

The CIA. would call this
an acceptable loss.

We're not the CIA.
No loss is acceptable.

I have a mission here.

You need to get out
and leave Cartwright to me.

You can have Cartwright, but by the
time you nail him, it'll be too late.

I've never seen this side
of you before. Heroic.

I'm no hero.

Then why are you really
going back for Eve?

Is it because of Elizabeth?

How do you know about her?

You talk in your sleep, John.

Bos, you ready to go?

Don't mention her name again.

If you want to sit and
babysit, that's your choice,

but if you want to take
down Jonathan Cartwright,

we're leaving now.
Your call.

Remember us?

We wanna talk to Cartwright.

We know you can reach him.

Mr. Cartwright.

Hello.

I'm gonna guess
you're John Bosley,

'cause you don't sound
like an Abby or a Kate,

and your boss Mr. Townsend
never gets his hands dirty.

I'm not impressed.

Well, you should be...

Because your friend
wasn't very cooperative.

Good thing I have a lot of
contacts and a lot of money.

I hope for your sake
she's still alive.

Oh, oh.
Proof of life.

Of course.
Here it is.

What are you still doing here?

You really have to ask?

I told you to finish the job.

Get Tess and the girls out.

She's a tough one, John.

Let's talk terms.

Terms?

How about you return our friend

and we don't burn down
everything you own?

I was thinking of something
a little less costly.

How about this?

You can have your friend in
exchange for Samantha Masters.

We have a deal,
Mr. Bosley?

Just checked on the girls.
They're safe.

We can't let Cartwright get away
with either Eve or Samantha.

You're right.

You gonna talk her
out of this trade?

I wish it was that easy.

Not a woman to negotiate.
Our kind of girl.

She lost her career
because of me.

I'm not gonna let her
lose her life.

Bos?
What are you thinking?

Let's go.

Before you say anything,
just hear me out.

Okay? You don't have time
for guns or a strategy.

This exchange isn't just the smart play.
It's the only play.

I didn't come here
to get you killed.

Yeah?

Well, this day isn't laying out

exactly how
I planned it, either.

Then tell me you have
something else planned.

Oh, I have a plan.
I give myself up, you get Eve.

And later, when I fail to
check in with my section chief,

the entire town will be flooded
with Virginia farm boys.

And when they learn that
Cartwright murdered me,

they'll throw his smug ass
in Guantanamo.

Thatsounds awfully noble.

They have an entire wall for
anonymous stars at Langley

for people like me.

You asked me about Elizabeth.

She was a lot like you.

Smart, stubborn.

I did everything I could
to save her.

Losing you is not an option.

John, I'm sorry.

I'm a public servant.

This is actually
in my job description.

You know the drill.

Yours walks, mine walks.

Put your hands up.

We have a lot to talk
about, Miss Masters.

Move! Move!

Anyone think they can shoot
before I squeeze this trigger?

Drop your guns or you're
gonna lose your meal ticket.

Sam, what the hell
are you doing?

You have no idea the
storm you just let loose.

Oh, yeah? Who's the one
with the loaded gun?

Perfect timing.

I don't think so.

What the hell are you doing?

The peasant is rebelling.

All your operations
are being nationalized.

You do not want to do this.

I do. Why should foreigners
own the New Cuba?

The revolution is over,
the government is corrupt,

and Fidel is as good as dead.

I don't want to see any
of you back in Cuba again.

You cut a deal with the warden.

An old friend of mine
used to say,

"Never do with a gun what
you can do with a phone."

Why didn't you tell us?

Yeah, you know what she's done.

Believe me,
it wasn't an easy call.

The fact is, I'll do anything
to protect you guys...

All of you,
no matter what the cost.

I have to admit,
your plan was more thought-out than mine.

Like I said, losing you
was never an option.

We seriously gonna
let the warden walk?

She won't get far.

Recorded the whole thing.
Micro-cam.

Anti-government remarks,
making deals with Americans...

Boys back in Havana
won't like that.

Old-school entrapment.

Learned from the best.

And I know
just who to give it to.

She'll be a prisoner in
her own jail in no time.

Exactly what she deserves.

We're on our way, Charlie.

We should be in international
waters in an hour or so,

and hopefully Miami
by dinnertime.

CHARUE". I'll be relieved to
have you back on American soil.

Me, too, Charlie.

Time to go home.

I couldn't have
survived this without you.

Oh. You're much
stronger than you think.

Those are some pretty
incredible Angels

you've got working with you.

Yeah. They do
answer my prayers.

Ready to head back
to the States?

I'm staying, John.

Contact David Jonas,
my Section Chief.

His team will take Cartwright into
custody when you get to Miami.

What about getting back into
the big leagues and all that?

This just became
the big leagues.

We busted Cartwright's
operation wide open.

Once you leave,
I'm heading back to his compound

and I'm getting intel on
every deal he's ever done.

Sounds dangerous.

This isn't the end
of Casablanca, Bosley.

Keeping a bunch of bad guys

from owning an island 90 miles from
home, that's my job.

Guess that means you won't
be Stateside anytime soon.

No.

Let me know when you are.

I make a mean mojito.

Get out of my country.

The girls you rescued

have been reunited
with their families

and Cartwright
is in CIA custody.

And how about the warden?

She's now an inmate
in her own prison.

Sounds like
Bosley's gambit paid off.

I think this calls
for a celebration.

Mmm-hmm.

Uh, Cuban food?

That's not even funny,
not even a bit.

No, no, no.
Burgers and beer.

Ahora si.

- Nice.
- Thanks, Charlie.

Bye, Charlie.
Good-bye, Angels.

Bos, you coming?

I'll meet you all there.

Charlie and I got some
quick business to finish up.

Okay.
See you in a bit.

They're gone.

L'm glad Samantha turned
out to be an ally.

Yeah. Me, too.

Did bring up some old
ghosts, though...

Like Elizabeth.

I know you feel
responsible for her death,

but it wasn't your fault.

I still think
about her every day, Charlie.

My daughter loved you very much.

Never forget that.

I won't.

Good-bye, John.
