Angels?! Angels, help me!

Bosley?

Angels!

We begin our broadcast day!

Come and get me, girls!

Lfyou can follow the sound

of my voice, then draw some...

...triangles or something...

...to get to this

location and save me!

Is there a way to trace him?

Even with our equipment,

he'd have to be within 20 miles.

The place I'm in looks

like Cher's bedroom.

And it stinks.

Tell us where you are.

It smells like the ocean.

And if I look out the window,

I see the ocean.

He could be anywhere

this half of North America.

Jack...

...tell them where I am.

What?

It's a Sitta pygmaea!

A pygmy nuthatch!

They only live in one place!

Carmel!

I can't tell you anything else,

except...

...this feels like the first day

of the last of my life.

Or the last day of the first

of my life, or something.

I have a lighthouse, two hotels,

seven manor houses...

...one owned by the National Parks,

one by Nick Xero Corporation...

- Is that spelled with an "X" or a "Z"?

- "X."

It's an anagram.

Rearranged, it's "Eric Knox. "

Scrabble freak.

An old tunnel leads down to the shore.

A sea approach is the best way to get

in undetected. We'll need a boat.

And a cover.

We can't use the speedboat.

Head to the marina.

Chad, does this thing go any faster?

We're in a hurry, and I could

open it up if you let me drive.

I'm sorry, friend of Starfish. There's

only one captain of this love boat.

That captain is me...

...the Chad.

The Chad.

Chad, captain of the love boat.

The Chad.

We're kind of in a hurry.

I'm the Chad.

Knox Technologies voice identification

software download confirmed.

Red Starsatellite network uplink

confirmed.

Revenge is fun.

I have to say, Starfish,

I am honored...

...that you've taken an interest in my

work. And I think you're very pretty.

Starfish?

Where are you going?

Starfish, are you going swimming?

Where are you going?

Where are you going again?

Starfish?

Was it the Chad?

No! The Chad was great!

The Chad was great.

I'll tap the signal from the roof.

- I'll deal with Knox.

- I'll bring our Bosley back.

"I don't know how to make chicken. "

Jerk.

Dylan.

Thank God you're alive.

You know my better half.

It figures I'd meet the perfect guy

and he'd already have a perfect girl.

Hello, blondie.

Her girlfriend's here.

Jimmy, Paulie, go secure Bosley,

would you?

Like now, now, now, now.

Bos?

- Bosley?

- Natalie?

Natalie, is that you?

Behind this door.

Bosley, I'm so happy to see you!

We're all here. I'll get you out.

Red wire.

Blue wire.

GPS phone tap.

Pygmy nuthatch.

- I'm getting tickled.

- Who's calling now?

It's Pete!

Hello?

Hi, Pete. How are you?

Good. You said you wanted me to call.

I did want you to call.

I mean, I do want you to.

Ask if he can call you back.

I'm so happy to hear from you.

I wanted to talk.

I like spending time with you.

I'd like to see more of you,

maybe in a continuous block.

I know. It's just been crazy

this week at work.

Watch your back!

Use the sleeper.

Never send a man to do a woman's job.

- Nice work, Natalie.

- Thanks, Bosley.

Pete? Hi.

You know, under different

circumstances...

...we'd have made a great couple.

If you hadn't shot me out a window

and tried to kill everyone I love...

...we could have had a chance.

Can you keep a secret?

I mean, you can't tell anyone.

That you're disgusting?

You have the fullest, sweetest...

...most luscious...

...lips I have ever...

...kissed.

I just gotta take this call.

Nine o'clock, Charlie. Right on time.

Enter. Come on.

Mr. Bosley's phone,

Eric Knox speaking.

Mr. Knox? This is Charles Townsend.

I'm delighted the Angels helped you.

Are you in the office?

Hang up, Charlie.

He's almost got you.

We're all at the beach,

having mimosas. Can you join us?

I'll take a rain check, Eric.

Is Bosley there?

He went to the men's room.

He'll be right back.

No, wait. He's coming.

Bosley?

Okay, here we go.

That's not him. Sorry.

Can you hold on one second longer?

Not a problem.

Pete? Can you hold on a second?

Sure.

I like him so much.

Hey, Bos.

Bosley?

He's coming, sir.

Sorry, not him.

Can I take a message?

Just tell him I called, as planned.

Gotcha.

Just one more sec.

Is this a bad time?

You seem a little distracted.

Is this the famous Charlie?

No, this is Pete.

Hey! I like that guy!

That man's got a beautiful

telephone voice.

That's one more daddy

you'll never know.

Bad news.

I have to leave.

I gotta go torture and kill your boss.

Mikey, Jerry...

...you guys like angel cake?

Do you know how hard it is to find

a quality man in Los Angeles?

Don't take my lighter.

Wait, wait, wait!

I have something to tell you.

By the time this is over...

...all of you will be facedown

on the floor...

...and I'll moon-walk out of here.

You're not listening to me.

First, you're going to help me

out of my chair.

Then I'll leapfrog over you...

...before I break his nose.

Since my trusty lighter...

...isn't working, I'll do all this

with my hands tied behind my back.

Get her!

King Kong palm.

Buddha on lotus.

And that's kicking your ass.

Alex!

Thanks, Bos!

Come on, we'll miss happy hour.

He's heading north,

just past Paradise Cove!

Oh, boy, they found him.

That's Charlie's cabin.

- You've seen it?

- You've seen Charlie?

I am his trusted friend and employee.

You've met Charlie?

What do you mean, "met"?

You've seen him with your own eyes.

I saw his hand.

It could have been anyone's hand.

Let's see if I can win the teddy bear!

Sorry, Charlie.

Get Dylan!

The missile's making a round trip!

Dylan!

Let's go!

Charlie.

You guys...

...we're finally meeting Charlie.

Do I look okay?

Should we knock?

Charlie?

Good morning, Angels.

Sorry I couldn't stick around.

We're so happy you're okay, Charlie.

I'm just fine, Angels.

Mission accomplished?

I think the client was blown away.

Eric Knox was born John McCadden.

It seems his life's mission

was to bring me down.

His dad was in myArmy Intelligence

unit, working as a double agent.

When he was discovered,

the otherside killed him.

I guess that's not

the story Knox heard.

Charlie, I've really enjoyed

working on this assignment...

...and I eagerly anticipate

returning to work.

Bosley's had one too many Buddhas.

He's definitely had a few.

I have a team rebuilding the office.

It'll be better than new

when you get back.

Thank you, Charlie.

Is there any chance

you'll be joining us, Charlie?

I'd love to, Angels.

But I have some precious treasures

to watch over.

Come on, Charlie, it'll be fun.

We're drinking from coconuts

and Buddhas.

How will we ever know

you truly exist...

...unless you come

have a coconut with us?

Faith, Angels. It's called faith.

To Charlie.

To Charlie.

To Charlie.

To Charlie.

Let me toast you ladies,

with some ice cubes!

Safe!

I have to go. I'm so sorry.

I should go. I really should.

Let's see if I can win the teddy bear!

The Chad is great.

He's great. He's great.
