Police Woman (1974–1978): Season 1, Episode 2 - The Beautiful Die Young - full transcript

The girls were reportedly signed up by
Adrian himself before they disappeared.

You ever seen a porno film? No.
But I know what they're all about.

- Hey, Pep, you all right?
- I'll be all right... when we get that...

Exactly how many girls did you
have in mind? About a dozen.

Now, take it off, huh?
This is showbiz, kid.

This is the big leagues. Police.
Everybody down there freeze.

You gave it to her in the eyes of the
law. You are a murderer. Shut up! Shut up!

You are slow today. Too slow.

I must remind you,
you are here to work, not

to sit around waiting
for your pretty pills.

Now, faster. Mr. Shiraki
will be here soon.

And he's a very important man,
and you had better be good to him.

You are in Tokyo now, not
back in your Mississippi... Tokyo.

Now, you wait, and I shall
return in a few minutes.

Happy birthday, darling.

Happy birthday.

Hey, a lady cop. How about that?

I think she gets her hair done
the same place you do, Pepper.

Thanks a lot. What
about you, Cheryl?

You think she's as
cute as your sister?

Well, I think I
have better ankles.

Well, I don't know. The
jury's still out on that one.

Oh, my pal. There you
go, Cheryl. Isn't she cute?

Love her in good health.

There you go.

Hey, wait a minute.
That's not all.

Ta-da-da-dah! Ta-da-da-dah!
Ta-ta-ta-da-da-dah!

- Presenting Scugnizzo!
- Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!

Scugnizzo. Grazie,
grazie, grazie.

I'll tell you a little secret. Scugnizzo,
that means "bad boy" in Italian.

That's what my grandmother
used to call me when I was a kid.

Undoubtedly, Crowley, that's a
very popular word in East Dublin.

Next to pizza, of course.

Why won't you believe I have an
Italian grandmother from South Naples?

- I don't know.
- Where do you think I get all
this passion and these eyes?

Hey, guys. I brought
you some birthday cake.

Oh, morning, Pep.
Hi, Pep. How's Cheryl?

She's great.
Thanks. It's delicious.

Bill, these just came down from
upstairs. And it's fattening too.

Oh? The one on
top is from upstairs.

Hey, Pep. Pep, Ad Vice wants
you to call this woman back.

She wants to talk to a lady cop.

And, uh, they're from
this modeling school.

Was it Classic? That's right.

Another call. Listen.
Let me know about that.

I have a feeling we're
getting pulled into that thing.

Okay. Hey, you fellas
wanna join me in my office?

Well, since you put
it so nicely, why not?

I'll bring my coffee with me.

Uh, this is Sergeant
Anderson, Police Headquarters.

I've got a complaint for
you, Sergeant Anderson.

A complaint. That disgusting
place, The Classic Modeling Agency.

Did you ever hear of it,
Sergeant? Yes, I have.

Well, when are you people gonna shut
it down and run that man out of town?

Well, you'll have
to tell me first...

what specifically is the
nature of your complaint?

Oh, it's my daughter, Anna May.

She's just a baby, only 15.

And she picks up this
newspaper, this local throwaway,

and she reads this
here advertisement.

And it wasn't for
soap. That's for sure.

Uh-huh. Part-time models, easy
work, high pay? That sort of thing?

A lot like that. And she
applied to this Mr. Adrian,

who made indecent proposals.

Asked her to take off her clothes,
stand in front of him stark naked.

I mean, disgusting.
An innocent child.

And the Lord only knows
how many other innocent girls...

he's gonna snare
into that office of his.

I'll, uh... I'll call you back
later. Thank you very much.

All right, you're 18. Is
that your last birthday?

Yes. Yes. And, uh, your
first name is Miriam, is it?

Miriam Horowitz.

But I'm planning to change
it to Mia Harris professionally.

Oh, uh, Mia Harris, that's,
uh... that's very, very good.

Um, well, first things first.

Uh, you live here?
With my parents.

Oh, very good.

All right, we'll need
a portfolio on you,

so if you'll contact our
Mr. Laird. A portfolio?

Photographs. You
can't expect Mr. Adrian...

to submit you to our television
friends without photographs.

You'll have to give me a
check, in advance, for $35.

I don't have a checking account.

I'll have to go to the bank to get
the money. Do you accept cash?

If it'll save time, of course.

Thank you, Miss Anders.
Thank you very much.

You're very welcome.

May I help you?

Uh... I'm Bonnie June Lincoln.

Where you from,
Bonnie June? Dallas.

Dallas, Texas. Come
with your family?

No. I came all by myself.

You know, this Adrian
thing is really something.

You know, he's got this scam going
where he sends out these fliers...

advertising how a new little girl
can crack TV, Hollywood, you name it.

All you gotta do is just take our little
modeling course for 150 bucks a month.

Oh. What's his background, Paul?

A mixed bag. Graduated from
Banyon College, with honors.

Then he shows up
on the East Coast,

uh, about 10 years.

Why is it always hot in here?

Anybody want a cold
drink? Yeah, I'll take one.

Next thing he pops up on Long Island,
running a modeling agency racket.

Here you go. Is
that all you got?

Yeah. That stuff will kill ya.

Hey, I'm not afraid
to die. Where was I?

You were on Long Island
running a modeling agency racket.

Right. Anyway, the
cops busted him,

'cause he was training,
mostly kids, to work the streets.

Same thing in Detroit.

Just kids. Now he's
back among us, huh?

He's back. A regular pied piper.

How old are you, Bonnie
June, hmm? Eighteen.

- How old?
- Well, I'm going on 16.

- Is that bad?
- No.

As a matter of fact, it's
exactly what the doctor ordered.

By the way, I'd like you
to meet Anthony and...

Where is he? There he
is, the far side... Raymond.

They've been with me
since the very beginning.

You have very lovely hair.
Did anyone ever tell you?

Thanks, Mr. Adrian.
It's sorta long.

I could cut it if you'd like
me to model with short hair,

like I had right back here.

Well, we'll have to see
about that, won't we?

Tell me something.
Have you ever, uh...

Have you ever seen a porno film?

No. But I know what
they're all about.

Here.

Would you like to be in one?

Me? No.

I mean...

Well, just out of curiosity,
not to say I'd do it or anything,

- how much could I make?
- A lot.

And the travel...
Do you like to travel?

Well, I didn't very much
like that bus ride from Texas.

No, I don't suppose you did.

I'm talking about
first-class travel... jets.

Over to Europe. Out
to the Orient, modeling.

Oh, Mr. Adrian, you're
really stroking me.

You're really pulling my leg.

Speaking of legs, I'd
like to see your legs.

Uh...

Okay.

Well, that's the kind
of guy I'd love to bust.

Hey, put me in for overtime.

Paul, what did you
mean when you said that

at least she had her
daughter home with her?

Well, some girls
have disappeared.

Now, either they're
local kids who have either

taken off with no clues
to where they've gone,

or else they're runaway kids
who hitchhike into town and vanish.

- You mean, like to other towns?
- They don't report them
from other towns.

- Is there a connection
with this guy Adrian?
- In two cases, yeah, Bill.

The girls were reportedly
signed up by Adrian himself...

before they disappeared.

See if you can get on
this as soon as possible.

Maybe we oughta start here.

A little lady, Saint
Vincent's Hospital.

Now, we picked her up in a raid on a
porno flick factory. Tried to kill herself.

Sheila Burton. Isn't that the kid
that you worked with for a while?

Yeah, I know her. Well, great.

Then you're the perfect one. See what she
knows about Adrian. Find out all you can.

Gary Ballard, please report
to the information desk.

Dr. Gary Ballard,
information desk, please.

Sheila?

Sheila?

It's me... Sergeant Anderson.

How you doin'?

Great.

It was a pretty stupid
thing to do, you know that.

Not so stupid...

when you want to die.

That porno movie,

is that what life is?

I needed the bread.

That bad?

So, I'm ashamed, okay?

Is that what you want me to say?

I didn't do anything I haven't
done a hundred times before.

Last time we talked,
what you said was,

"Things are
happening I don't like.

I'm gonna leave
town, go back home."

So I didn't go.

Do you want to... now?

Mm, mm, I can't.

Who turned you on to
this, got you involved?

I-I can't tell you that.

Why not?

Because I...

These people,

they... they...
They. They. They.

Was one of them named Adrian?

No.

Look.

I don't want to go home.

So, none of this
makes any difference.

Don't you understand?

I can't cut it there.

I can't cut it anywhere.

Oh, come on,
Sheila. Listen to me.

You can't let anybody,
anything put you down like this.

Shove you into the
garbage can like that.

You gotta try... to cope,
to exist. You gotta try.

Promise me?

Sheila?

Ah.

Good evening, Astrid.
Good evening, Mr. Adrian.

Oh, thank you.

Is something wrong?
You look funny.

Well, it's Lisa, her fever.
It just won't come down.

Oh, my dear, you
run right on over there.

Forget about my supper. I'll
take care of myself. Oh, all right.

Just be sure and put this in my
room before you go. Oh, thank you.

Yes, may I have the
overseas operator, please?

Yes, I will.

Uh, yes, yes, I would like to
place a call to Tokyo, Japan, please.

One! Two!

Make you homesick?
Oh, you betcha.

Three! Four! One,

One, two, three, four! That,
uh, chubby little blonde?

Friend of the family, no doubt.

No, she's just a kid I gave a little
special instruction to one night.

Ho, ho, ho. What big teeth
you have, Grandmother.

These Italian eyes get
'em every time, baby.

Two, three! One, two, three!

Halt! Hold it up!
Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.

After three weeks at the
academy, you people look awful.

You hear me over there?

We'll do it again.
By the numbers.

Why don't you take a look on this
side, and I'll go and talk to the others.

Okay. One, two, three!

Linover, Sweet,
front and center.

I've been working down at
the range, uh, with the .38.

Excuse me. This is Sergeant
Anderson. This is Cadet Sweet.

Hi. How do you do?

- And Cadet Linover.
- Hi.

Sandra Linover. Hi. Sergeant
Crowley was telling us...

something very interesting
is up, and, well, I'm interested.

Fine. Except we're looking
for somebody who looks young,

and, uh, you look
like a baby, Sandra.

That's been my main
talent ever since I was.

She looks awfully good to me.
You really think she's too young?

Uh, yeah. I just... I'm
afraid it just won't work, Bill.

Sorry, Linover. Thanks very
much. It was nice to meet you.

Yeah, nice meeting you.
Okay, good luck. Bye.

- How old are you, Debbie?
- Twenty-one.

What are you doing
tonight, Debbie?

- Nothing.
- That's what you think.

♪♪

So anyway, I was telling
you this guy, he comes in...

Good night, Murray. See
you later. Double martini,

very dry, with a
twist, please. Forget it.

So, anyway, that guy... Why?

Sweetheart, if you've
got an I.D., it's a forgery.

So, I'm beginning to tell
ya... Look, I'm over 21.

Oh, goody, then you can
come to my Sweet 16 party.

So, anyway, they
come in here about 9:00.

They sit down right here...

Well, I made it. Great.

Terrific. Sit down.

You hungry? I'm starving.
What's good to eat?

Well, I tell ya, Vinnie's really
got a way with his burgers.

They get tougher and
tougher. So does his pea soup.

Now what do you got, Max?

There's the word
out that Segarras...

is gonna try
another truck heist.

Segarras got busted
last night in his V.W.

Try again, Max.

Uh, you know this player you've
been asking about, uh, Silky?

Mm-hmm. Well, he just put
together a real beautiful job.

- He...
- We knew Silky.

Silky's dead. Got himself
all shot up last night.

Who did it? Homicide and Robbery
are asking the same questions.

Keep trying, Max.

There's this guy, I know about
him through a friend of mine.

A player. Calls himself Rex.

He's got a modeling agency.

The model agency's only a front.

The real big business
is in the dirty movies.

So, what's new? Well, he
features a lot of young kids.

You know, he's supplying
young, out-of-town quail.

- What else, Max?
- This guy, they say,

he's got this setup or
he's in on this setup,

where he's sending some of
these girls overseas, you know?

- Workin' broads.
- Where overseas?

Oh, I don't know. Overseas.

- What's your friend's name?
- I don't remember.

- How do we get ahold
of your friend, Max?
- Who, Rex?

Oh, he ain't gonna
talk to no two cops.

♪♪

Which one's Rex?

I'm Brandy. Mm-hmm.

Brandy Saunders.

Yeah, Maxie told me about you.

But he didn't tell me
that you never quit.

What can I do for you, babe?

I need your help.

You lookin' for a
high-class manager?

My old man's okay.

Black? No.

Then he can't be okay.

Look, I didn't come in here
looking for work. I need help.

I got a kid sister.

Mm. She look anything
like you, I'll take the deal.

She's mine.

One hooker in the
family's enough.

She's straight, and I
want her to stay that way.

So what's your problem?

She's missing. Haven't
heard a word from her,

and I thought you might
know something about her.

Name.

Julie.

Julie Saunders. She's
blonde, but looks a lot like me.

I never saw her or heard of her.

He always gives me the
red, and I like the green ones.

You said something
about her being missing.

All I know is she was meeting a
guy with a school. Model agency.

She's only a teenager,
and he fed her a line.

Told her about a job overseas.

Now she's gone. Max said you
might know something about this guy.

Did Max tell you that I
only work for a price?

It's a tough world
out there, baby.

Look, I'm not in the
mood to talk business.

Like I said, it's a tough world.

Okay.

You deliver, I deliver.

It's sounds like a cat
named, um, Ted Adrian.

I don't dig him no way.

Gives us players a bad
reputation, using kids.

You think he might
have got to my sister?

Well, put it this way. You get
a postcard from Hong Kong,

Singapore or Japan,

he got to her.

♪♪ Very nice, Bonnie June.

Very nice indeed. Thanks.

Now, how about a drink? Or doesn't
your Dallas background allow for that, hmm?

Uh-uh, I never touch
the stuff. Well, I want one.

However, if you're
offering some other

little goodies, like
some, uh, weed or hash?

No, that's kid's stuff. I've got
something a little stronger you might like.

Uh-uh. I don't like
to shoot anything.

Well, you don't have
to shoot this one.

Uh-uh, you just...

Horn it. That's all you do.
No problem with it at all.

You'd be surprised. You game?

Game? Mm-hmm.

Well, you know, you were
game enough to walk in here...

at this hour of the night,
knocking on my door.

Well, I just had
to thank you for...

all my new clothes.

I had to.

Ooh.

Don't you laugh.

I told you you'd be
traveling first class, didn't I?

Yeah. How long will I
be gone? Two months?

I don't know, two,
three. Who's counting?

And when I get back,
I'll be famous, right?

Well, yes, yes. At least
two magazine covers?

Two, maybe five. I
don't know. You promise?

I will. Okay, I'm game.

Where do I shack
up till I fly off? Here?

Ah. I have a crib
with your name on it.

Would you believe that? Yeah.

I certainly do. It's, uh...

Well, I'll tell you where it
is. It's kind of at a ranch.

A ranch? Mm-hmm.

Might as well stayed home.
All right, I'll get you the stuff.

Wait a minute. Oh,
wait. I'm coming too.

Hi, Bill. It's Pep. Well,
I've been checking...

with the special chief
agent of your favorite

phone company,
checking out Ted Adrian.

No trouble with the subpoena,
huh? None. My player was right.

He's made over a dozen phone
calls to Tokyo in the past six weeks.

Always the same number.
Oh, yeah? What is it?

Tokyo, 523-2702.

Okay, I'll have them
contact Interpol.

♪♪

Come on!

Come on.

Come on.

Aw, come on. Cut it out.

Come on, Bonnie June.

Come on. Quit foolin' around.

Wake up. Here,
hey, hey, hey, hey.

Bonnie June? Wake up! Wake up!

Hello. Hello, Astrid?

It's Mr. Adrian. Yes, um...

Look, Astrid, I'm going to be
going out of town for a few days.

And, uh, I-I... Well, I'll
lock up the house myself.

You just take a few days off
until I... until I call you, all right?

No, everything's fine.
Just sort of in a hurry.

Yes. All right. Thank you.

The number Adrian's
been calling in Tokyo...

is listed under a Mrs.
Madeline Curtwright.

She's the widow of a
retired army colonel...

who's been living in Japan
since the end of the war.

Now, she's seemingly
unemployed and living on a pension.

But the indication's heavy that
she's involved in the white slave traffic.

What do you say, Debbie?
Ready to go to work?

Sure.

Susan Kimberly, this is
Mr. Adrian. Hello, Susan.

Hi. Come on in, won't you?

I suppose Miss Anders...
Oh, won't you sit down, please?

Okay. I suppose Miss Anders, uh,

told you about the
situation we're in.

No, she didn't.

Well, one of my clients was supposed
to appear in a picture tomorrow.

Uh-huh. And she's, uh...

Well, let's just say
she's indisposed. I see.

Now, I'm going to be totally
honest with you, Susan.

Your work in this picture
will require that you pose...

Act, if you will... in the nude.

Wouldn't my grandmother
Kimberly just die?

Well, I don't expect
that your grandmother

Kimberly will be seeing
the picture, do you?

No, I guess not.

Uh, how much does it pay?

Two hundred.

Well, uh, I'm sorry, Mr. Adrian,
but that's not a whole lot of money.

For a half a day's work?

Okay, I'll do it.

Now, I want you to report to
this diner at 2:00 tomorrow.

Mm-hmm.

You will meet with the
director and the crew.

His name is Don, by the way.
And he will take you to the location.

Okay. Where's that?

You just report to the diner.

I don't know how to
thank you, Mr. Adrian.

You do a good job in the film, and
that will be thanks enough, Susan.

All right.

- 6-Y-42, come in.
- 6-Y-42.

There's a wagon heading southbound
on Las Palmas. Are you with it?

Yeah, we're right on his tail.

Didn't wanna be
late for the movie.

Let's go.

Sterling, here. Here I want you.

No, no, Sterling, please. Sterling,
put it back on. Put it back on.

I will tell you, Sterling.

Paying attention? I will
tell you when, Sterling,

and I will tell you where,
okay, you understand? Uh-huh.

Good boy. And now my
newcomer. Come here, my little lass.

Come here. I'm gonna place
you right on the first step.

That's perfect. You're gonna
look radiant. Right there.

Now I suppose we will
call this our dress rehearsal.

Peggy, take it off, please.

It's chilly, Don. But, uh...

Uh, please, Sterling.
I'm speaking, Sterling.

Chilly? It's chilly.

Well, if our star says
that it's chilly, it is chilly.

- So, you... you take it off.
- It's chilly.

6-Y-42, come in.

6-Y-42, can you
see anything, Bill?

I'm trying not to look.

Would you believe they're
rehearsing by the pool?

We're giving it three minutes, then
we're gonna move on in. Stand by.

Yeah, well, if you're
not here by then, pal,

you're gonna see
more of Debbie Sweet...

than anybody's seen of her since
her mother changed her diapers.

Sweetheart, when a motion picture director
tells you to do something, you do it.

This is showbiz, kid.
This is the big leagues.

Now, take it off, huh?

That's better.

We're gonna shoot
the rehearsal. Roll it.

Police. Everybody
down there freeze!

What the hell do
you think I'm doing?

All right, police officer. You're
under arrest. Let's go, honey.

Let's go this way. What's going
on? We're not doing anything.

What's the matter with you?
Okay, kids, that's a wrap.

As an ordinary citizen, I
know my rights anyway.

I'm entitled to one
phone call. I wanna call

my agent. Will you
get him on the phone?

That's right. There's four
of us. I expect bail for...

I'll see you in half an hour.

Look, we are
artists, not tramps.

I'm sick and tired of being
treated like a two-bit hooker.

We're just trying to ask you a
few questions, Miss Landon.

Yeah, well, we've had
enough of your few questions.

So is she. She's only a kid.

That's the point: She's only a kid. She
shouldn't have been in your production.

We developed those films and took
a look at those scenes in the house,

and that's hard-core, my beauty.

- Is that an understatement.
- Look, she wasn't
in those scenes.

Those were my
scenes. Did you like 'em?

- I don't know. You've seen one,
you've seen 'em all.
- Ha. Eat your heart out.

Susan, how old are you?

Look, who got
you into this thing?

Listen, kid, nobody wants to
hassle you. You know what I mean?

I just wanna know the name of
the man who hired you for this thing.

- It was a woman.
- What was her name?

- Tinker Bell.
- That's tellin' 'em.

Look, honey, you don't
have to tell 'em a thing.

- Dismembered?
- Clean job.

How clean, Paul? No
jagged marks on the torso.

Like the freak could have
used some kind of saw.

Coroner says cause of
death... Coke overdose.

Compounded by a weak
or rheumatic heart condition.

Torso showed that.
Any identification at all?

Just this bracelet. It
matches that alert there.

"Bonnie June Lincoln,
16 years, Dallas, Texas.

"Blonde, blue eyes, 5'2", 98 pounds,
probably headed for California.

Wearing costume jewelry
marked Bonnie June."

The body was in
this bag, huh? Yep.

You know, there must be 50
different cleaners that use these bags.

I know, but maybe these serial
numbers might lead us to Adrian.

Or maybe not. Maybe not.

- Hey, Pep, you all right?
- I'll be all right...

when we get that...

So, I wanted to
thank you for, uh...

Well, Peggy told me how you, uh,

how you were so discreet
last night with the police.

Yeah, well, I don't like cops.

Maybe you will like this
a little bit better, hmm?

Just a few bills. Some money to
make up for what you lost on the picture.

And I have another opportunity coming up
very soon that I wanna talk to you about.

Well, Mr. Adrian, I
really appreciate this.

Ted.

But I'm not gonna be around
long. See, I'm getting a job.

A real good one.
What kind of a job?

Well, I met this woman at the
Dorset. She's in from Japan.

And she's looking for girls...

Models... to work over there.

Hmm. What's her name?

Mignon Downes.

Huh. I'll see if I
can top her offer.

Hello? Yes, Cora.

You just got a cable
from Tokyo... Madeline.

She says Mignon Downes
legitimate enterprise.

Quote, "Sell her hamburger,
but save the prime cuts for me."

It's been a great pleasure meeting you,
and I'm sure we can work out something.

Thank you. Thank you
very much for coming by.

That's no problem,
darlin'. You take care.

Thank you.

Miss, uh... Miss Downes? Yes.

I'm Ted Adrian.
Come in, won't you?

Thank you. Would
you like a drink?

Well, it's a little early in the day for
me, but you go right ahead, please.

Later maybe. Oh, flowers certainly
do brighten up a room, don't they?

Well, shall we, uh, get down to
business? That's why I'm here.

Exactly how many girls did you
have in mind? About a dozen.

And very young. Young.

Ah, yes, youth is in all
over the world, isn't it?

Mm-hmm, especially dumb,
amoral, hyped, very pretty Americans.

Well, I get $7,000
for anyone in my crib.

Let's not play
games. You get six.

Really?

One of Madeline's
pimps is very talkative.

I'll pay the seven,
but only for quality.

The word is Madeline's
gotten some inu from you.

- Dogs.
- Oh.

Well, in that case, perhaps you'd like
to look my kennel over firsthand, hmm?

Love to. Oh, and, uh, Ted. Yes?

Now that we know where we stand
with each other, the name's Mignon.

Yes, I'd like you to see
the barn area down here.

I think I have a few
surprises for you. Really?

Oh, by the way, see
that girl with the pumpkin?

Uh-huh. Grew up in
the heart of the city.

Hadn't seen green grass until she
came out here. Huh. My goodness.

- Can't keep her
out of the garden now.
- Here's one on the steps.

Well, they tend
to be very relaxed.

We have a few goodies
to keep them quiet.

Oh, here's a girl I think
you'd be very interested in.

Uh-huh. Well, I'm overstocked.

I should have known. Why
didn't I think of that? Yes.

Of course. Colts to Newcastle.

That's something like that, yes.

Then they get to use these horses.
There's a pool they can swim in.

They have a wonderful
time. How fabulous.

To all outward
appearances, a simple barn.

Over here we have what
we call Dormitory number 1.

We have some, uh, lovely
girls you haven't seen over here.

They just came in. You'll have
pick of the crop on this group.

Oh, Elvira, will you put the horse
away for a moment and come on inside?

Now here. Look at
this. Look at this. Wait.

Turn around here.
Look at this. Mm-hmm.

This is Cynthia. Isn't she
lovely? Look at that feature.

I'll take it now,
that drink. Oh.

Man, this place is like a
concentration camp for young chicks.

6-Y-42 for Sergeant Crowley.

Wait a minute, Pete. He
wouldn't wanna bust it yet.

Yeah, but he could sure
dig hearing about it, Joe.

Here's to us. Mm, oh, yes.

And to those
lovely girls of mine.

Mm-hmm.

Tell me, have you made up
your mind about any of them?

I'd rather not make any commitments,
Ted, until I've seen others.

Mm-hmm. How long
you gonna be in town?

We lost the signal.

Let's sit tight. If she's not
out in 15 minutes, we go in.

I'm going tonight.
I don't blame you.

Oh, excuse me just a minute.

Don't go away
till I get back. Oh.

Hello.

Yes. Uh, yes. Just a moment.

I'll be right back.

What was that?

Yes, this is Mr. Adrian.

Very well. I'll hold on
for the call from Tokyo.

Bonnie June Lincoln.

I'm only his assistant.
I know only what I do.

The name means nothing to
you, huh? Bonnie June Lincoln.

No. Never heard it before?

No. Who is she? In this case,
it's who was she, Miss Anders.

She was a runaway.

Now she's dead.

What's this got to do
with me or Mr. Adrian?

Well, you specialize in
runaways here, don't you?

I mean, don't you take these kids
and make porno flicks with them?

Porno magazines. Send them
to Japan. That is ridiculous.

Yes, yes, Operator,
I'm still here.

Yes, this is Ted Adrian.

Madeline?

How dare you walk in here
and start questioning me like this.

What right have...

Classic School of
Modeling. Sergeant Crowley?

- Yeah.
- Bill, it's Paul.

We just got word on
those serial numbers.

Now, we're in luck. They were delivered
to only three dry-cleaning places.

Yeah, Anton's on Third.

Columbia on Gardner.
Wexford on Las Flores.

Wait a minute. Wexford
Dry Cleaners. Familiar?

It's down the street.

Your boss, he
uses it, doesn't he?

Yeah, Paul, I'm sending
her in with Shell and Martin.

Yeah, I'll be over at
Adrian's place. Right.

And I think it's
imperative that you know.

She's in Japan.

No, no one knew where
Mignon was for two weeks.

But one of my dealers told me she's
being held in maximum security...

at Hong Tai Prison in Taiwan.

Ted, be careful. The woman
you're doing business with...

is not who she says she is.

Thank you, Madeline.
I'll be in touch.

Fellas, I'm beginning
to not like this a lot.

Miss Downes.

What are you looking
for down here, hmm?

I was just, uh, admiring
your workshop. Oh, yeah.

You wouldn't believe it, but I started
out with model airplanes as a little boy.

And then I finally graduated to
all this. Isn't that rather amazing?

I think I'd better have a look at
that purse before you get to it.

Well, what do you know?

That's fantastic, isn't it?

Let's see what else
you've got in here.

Oh, no.

Why did you have to
do that? Mr. Adrian...

All right, now just shut
up. Let me think a minute.

Don't move. Don't
move. Just stay there.

Would you believe that this
comes back after so many years?

Don't get things any worse... You know
how long since I was in naval prep school?

Oh, they drill these knots
into you until you go crazy.

You know what this one's called? I
can even remember the name of it.

It's called, of all
things, a virgin's kiss.

Now that'll hold you for
the rest of the day if it has to.

Don't be foolish. Just shut
up a minute and let me think.

Now, let's see. Don't get yourself
in deeper than you already are.

They've got the evidence
and... All right, fine.

She killed herself.
There was nothing to...

They can't nail me with that. There's
no way they can pin that on me.

Mr. Adrian, my partners are
outside. She asked me for the stuff.

- I'll get out of it. You don't
have to worry about that.
- Is that the saw you used?

I didn't kill her with a saw. I
didn't use that till afterwards.

Don't you understand? She
killed herself. I told you that before.

Of an overdose.
Yes. She asked for it.

I gave her the stuff, she
sniffed it, and that was the end.

I don't know what happened
to her. You gave her the drugs.

You gave it to her. In the eyes of
the law, you are a murderer. Shut up!

Police officer! Open the door!

Watch out! He's got a gun!

- Hey, Joe, get an ambulance.
- It's a good thing
you guys were listening.

That was cuttin' it close. Yeah.

I'll tell you about it someday.

Pep, you okay? Yeah.

I'll stay here and wait.

Well, hello, Miss Goose Bumps.

Hello there, Pete. Hey, prettiest
face on the cutting room floor.

What do you mean
face? That's enough.

That pizza smells so good, I could
eat the box. With a little Chianti.

Put cheese on it. We could fix it
up a little. You're not old enough.

Why, I'd kill for less.
Listen, I'll tell you something.

The first toast is going
to be to the department...

for hauling those kids
out of that barn today.

I haven't felt that good
about anything in a long time.

Hey, how's Adrian?
Oh, he'll make it.

He'll probably regret
it, but he'll make it.

Hey, when do we
eat? Can we eat? Huh?

Let's go over here for some
serious business. Hey, Pep.

Thank you. Pep? Where's Pepper?

Pepper's upstairs.

Changing for dinner.

What are you doing?
Tossing the salad.

What does it look like I'm
doing? What are you doing in that?

Oh, first, in the words of our
famous porno queen, "It's chilly."

Secondly, I'm
gonna eat pizza in it.

I'm gonna brush my teeth in it. I'm
gonna do whatever comes to mind in it.

'Cause it's mine, all mine,
till 11:00 in the morning.

What a shame, you
have to be in at 8:00.

Oh, thank you for reminding me.

Then I'll be the best dressed
lady cop your squad room ever saw.
