Angel (Midnight Caller)

Angel is the main antagonist in the TV series Midnight Caller, in the pilot episode Conversations with an Assassin (airdate October 25, 1988). 
She is portrayed by Jenny Wright. 
Angel is a prostitute and psychotic woman living in San Francisco who was killing lots of men. Angel would start calling a radio show hosted by former S.F.P.D. cop Jack Killian, a.k.a. "The Nighthawk" on the radio station KJCM, 98.3 FM, who recently became a night radio talk show host. Angel would become obsessed with Jack Killian. Angel stalks about and spies on a wedding ceremony letting out of a church. Just before his first show, Jack rejects Devon’s script and ad-libs on air, granting himself the moniker of “the Nighthawk.” He takes his first caller and recognizes the voice as belonging to a small-time criminal, taking the opportunity to inform the police department about it. Angel takes aside another man and shoots him in his car. Jack takes a number of callers on his first night, some with rather unusual requests. One caller confronts him about Rusty’s death, making Jack highly uncomfortable. Angel listens intently to the entire program and finds herself fascinated with Jack, becoming a regular listener.
Angel starts becoming obsessed with Jack and follows him around. One night, Angel calls in to the show and makes cryptic comments about their “odyssey” together, alluding to her string of murders. She abruptly hangs up after making a comment about her and Jack being united in “holy wedlock,” piquing Jack’s curiosity. The next day he talks to his former boss, Lt. Carl Zymak, about the call, and he tells him that the department is currently dealing with a string of unsolved murders, possibly the work of a serial killer. All of the victims were men shot in their cars, and they have been unable to get any substantial evidence identifying the killer. Jack presents him with a list of dates for the killings, supplied to him by Angel on the show. He offers to help the police solve the case in an unofficial capacity.
The next night, Jack gets another caller on the show claiming to be an amateur detective, who is also interested in the murders perpetrated by Angel and who urges Jack to do work on the case himself. The caller turns out to be Lt. Zymak disguising his voice; they have set this up to raise awareness about Angel’s activities, and possibly to get her to call in and surrender. Jack returns home after the show to find that Angel has left a voice message for him, letting him know that she’s seen through his ruse and is “very disappointed” with him; she makes a vague threat before hanging up. The next night, Angel calls in to the show again from a nightclub, claiming that she’s “restless.” Jack tries to figure out where the call is coming from, but fails. Angel hangs up and shoots another victim dead before calling Jack back. The police scramble to put a trace on her call, and it is revealed that she is calling from within the radio station itself, fromJack KIllian's boss Devon King's office.
Angel ambushes Devon in her office and fires several shots above her head before walking away. The next day, Lieutenant Zymak and the police come in to investigate the incident, and Jack offers his assistance. Devon feels as though Jack has unfairly put her life in danger in order to capture Angel, and Jack decides that he can no longer host his radio program and quits. However, Devon convinces him that he’s done a great deal of good for his callers, and that quitting would be cowardly. She tries to convince him to stay. At home, Jack receives another call from Angel, who instructs him to bring a ring she put in his mailbox to a certain address. Once there, Jack speaks to her again over a payphone before she invites him to speak to her in person in an apartment building, insisting that he wear the wedding ring. He enters the building, wandering through a room filled with mannequins in various items of bridal attire. Finally he confronts Angel, dressed in a wedding gown complete with bouquet. She attempts to shoot him but he shoots her first, sending her plummeting out of a window to the ground. He inspects her gun, finding that it is unloaded, much to his surprise.
