Angie Tribeca

Hello?

All: Surprise!

Tribeca, you silly goose.

It's your surprise retirement party, girl.

Oh, my God. You guys totally got me!

Not gonna be the same around here without you, Tribeca.

There's even talk of retiring your unisex blazer.

Thank you, sir.

Tribeca, the very best of luck.

It's been a pleasure working with you.

You too, Dr. Edelweiss. I feel exactly the same.

Well, actually, I might be leaving the force myself soon.

Yes, it appears the ethics lawsuit is gonna be pushed forward...

Hoffman!...and I don't know what I'm going to do.

I'm running out of money.

Hey!

I think someone's gonna miss you the most.

Oh, I'm gonna miss you, too, Hoffman.

That's why you pay in advance.

All right, everybody, it's a party.

Come eat some cake.

Happy retirement, partner.

You know you don't have to do this, right?

Everything's changed.

We have a kid. Mm.

And I don't want to miss one moment of little...

Angie....Angie's childhood.

I know.

I mean, he's not gonna be...

2 1/2. ...2 1/2 forever.

You know what I mean, right? Geils.

Right. Yeah.

Yeah, I think it's time to put the police work behind me

and go balls deep into motherhood.

Do me a favor?

Recycle these for me.

No one say a word.

Motherhood is not for everyone.

It doesn't me any less of a woman.

So I don't want to hear a peep out of any of you.

I have bronchitis.

Hey!

Hey!

Get that off of my street!

You can't park that there.I can't hear you because of the chopper.

Move that thing off of my street.

Ah!

Ah!

Spare change? Love some.

Ow.

Oh, hello, Mr. Farnsworth.

Where's my white rhino?

Uh, well, we've actually only begun the process.

Whoa! Did I just tune in

to some boring documentary about your pathetic little life?

Let me see if I can change the channel.

No. Nope!

Ah, there's the show I like.

The one where you give me my stuffed white rhino.

It's just that you dropped it off yesterday.

Stuff it! I just -- I --

Stuff it, or I will stuff you.

Is there any way to spruce up this owl

in time for the children's exhibit?

Aww. I-It --

Let's go, Ricardo. I haven't got all day.

Wait a minute.

You're not Ricardo.

Welcome back, Tribeca. Mot a moment too soon.

I'm afraid the unthinkable has happened.

A rich white man's disappeared.

Duncan Farnsworth I.I.I. disappeared

from his helicopter two days ago.

I'm pretty sure it's the third, sir.

Already seeing a pattern.

How'd we get along without you?

What do we know about this guy

other than his dad and grandfather's first name?

Married, three kids, got rich inventing an oil

that doesn't wash off penguins. Got it.

And, Tribeca, if you need to split time

between your son and the office,

we'll work around it.Not a problem, sir.

We sent little Angie off to a private boarding school

in Maine.

We're really hoping he gets in.

As long as we're swapping personal stuff,

I, uh -- I've decided to start dating again.

I'm staring down the dark, black abyss of retirement,

and it would be nice to drag someone down with me.

We'll keep an eye out, sir.

And, uh, Tribeca.

Make sure she knows how to pick out fruit in a grocery,

if you know what I mean.

I do not.

Copy that.

Turns out Mr. Farnsworth was very popular on the Internet.

Hoffman, show them what you found.

Farnsworth was a trophy hunter.

Stanley Cup, Heisman, big plate from Wimbledon,

then he turned his interest to endangered species.

Geez, look at some of these negative comments.

"Die, you worthless P.O.S."

"You're everything wrong with the world."

"Make $40 an hour working from home"?

This guy didn't vanish. Somebody grabbed him.

And it looks like we have about 60,000 suspects.

We gonna need a shitload of handcuffs.

All right, Tanner, you and Hoffman go talk to the wife,

and Geils and I will try to track down

the helicopter pilot who saw him last.

We got an address on him.

Ricardo Vasquez.

But it's in Miami.

Looks like we're taking this show on the road.

Can I help you?

We're looking for a Ricardo Vasquez. Is he home?

Oh, Mr. Vasquez moved back to Los Angeles.

Okay, thank you very much.

A trophy hunter? My husband?

There must be some mistake.

There's no mistake, ma'am.

Is this your husband?

Yes, that's my husband.

I don't recognize that rug he's holding, though.

When was the last time you saw your husband?

Besides in the photo.

Mm.

Two days ago.

Anything unusual about his behavior?

Except murdering everything he sees?

Oh, he got up,

prayed in front of a portrait of himself,

had a glass of camel milk,

and took off in his helicopter -- Typical Thursday.

Ma'am, this is a serious situation.

Now, I think your husband might be kidnapped.

Or worse, he waskidnapped.

Look, this is clearly a matter for the police.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I need to get on with my day.

Ahh.

I've always wanted to meet a helicopter pilot.

Can I help you?!

Are you Ricardo Vasquez?

I'm sorry?!

Are you Ricardo Vasquez?!

Yeah, that's me!

LAPD, sir! Do you mind if we ask you

a couple questions?!

Yeah, sure, come on in!

Keep your heads down! It's gonna be fun!

We wanted to ask you a couple of questions

about your employer, Duncan Farnsworth.

Yeah, go ahead.

You're his pilot, right?

And you were flying with him on the morning of the 19th?

Affirmative.And now Farnsworth and his helicopter

are both missing.

Care to shed any light on that?

I dropped off Farnsworth at the taxidermy shop,

and then I went to get a coffee.

When I got back, Farnsworth and the chopper were gone.

Grand Canyon on your left.

I find it hard to believe that you left your helicopter

in the middle of the street to go get a coffee.

Sounds pretty implausible, doesn't it?

Well, you got me. I was lying.

Truth is, some dude slipped me 1,000 bucks

to disappear for 10 minutes.

We're gonna need you to come down to the station

and talk to a sketch artist.

Sounds great.

One more question.

Are you concerned about your employer?

To tell you the truth, ma'am,

he was not a very nice person.

Thank you, sir.

Let us know if you hear anything.

Let's go, Geils.

Tribeca, welcome back. I heard you had retired.

Well, I guess you can take the girl out of the cop,

but you can't take the cop out of the girl.

I could.Monica, Tribeca and I are together.

You have to accept that.

They said you had an idea on the Farnsworth case?

Yes. Come over here.

It's not too often a rich white guy goes missing,

so it got me thinking.

This is an unsolved case from a few months ago.

This is, or was, Lawrence T. Boozler VII.
