Tonight's episode, Runaway.

It's good to be back.

You look absolutely great. You don't
look so bad yourself, sweetheart.

It's amazing what looking forward to ten
days of nothing but you and me can do

for the complexion.

I've missed you, you gorgeous hunk of
man.

I can't help it. Older men turn me on.

You shouldn't do that.

If they only knew my rival for your
time.

Inspectors, 8 -1, go ahead.

Report of 217 and 223 Green Street.
Inspector Keller requests your 10 -20.

-4, we're on our way.

Impossible eyewitness to Chris
Cavanaugh. She heard the argument, was

she saw the killer leave the apartment.

Did she give us a description?

Yeah. The man that was shot is named
Fred Cavanaugh.

Father.

Father?

He got in the town just half an hour
ago.

She's just a baby.

Fifteen. Jeannie, take care of her, will
you? I'll be checking on her.

5 -11, he's got dark hair.

She said she'd recognize him if she saw
him again. Let's hope we give her a

chance to.

Lab men been called yet?

They're on their way, yeah. Hello, Ace.

Yeah, looks like you put up a struggle.
Hey, there's a gun on the floor over

there, officer.

Hey, nobody touch the thing. I made sure
of that.

Now, the name's Donetti. I live two
doors down.

It was me that called the cops.

Police.

I kept everybody out.

Got one shot right near the heart.

Well, nine millimeter automatic.

Pretty lucky, huh?

Eyewitness, fingerprints.

Should be a cinch.

So what can you tell us about him, Mr.
Donetti?

I've never seen him before.

What are you talking about? You never
saw him before. There's two doors down

hall. How could you never see him
before?

He don't live here.

This is Fred Cavanaugh's apartment.

You thought that was Cav?

That ain't Fred Cavanaugh?

Cavanaugh's much bigger than him. Dark
hair.

This one I've never seen before.

Let me talk to the girl.

I'm sorry.

I'm just not very hungry.

You really should have something, Chris.

There's no place to put it.

I have a big lump there.

Okay.

You want to talk?

No, that won't change anything.

And I might cry.

Maybe it'll make you feel better.

But that won't change anything either.

Mike?

What are you doing?

Here I am in the middle of a murder
investigation and you're... Mike, those

people were staring at her.

And I told the officer I'd be here.

Okay, I understand.

Chris, how long has it been since you
saw your father?

Oh, about 30 minutes ago. Before that?

It's been a while.

How long? Three years, five years, ten
years?

Well, would you know your father?

Mine?

Just a minute.

Chris, the dead man in there is not your
father. His name is Larry Cox.

The man that you described running out
of the apartment, well, he fits the

description of your father.

Then he's alive?

It looks that way.

Oh, wait a minute.

You know...

wrong about that description.

The man I saw had blonde hair and blue
eyes.

And a limp.

Yeah,

that's right.

Then you must know him. No.

He's not the man I recognize.

It's your lies now. It's your little
white lies. Don't lie.

That's what I'm going to say in court.

That he had blonde hair, blue eyes, and
walked with a lip.

Well, how can I get in touch with your
mother?

My mother's dead.

Over a month ago in Utah.

But I took care of all the arrangements,
and then I came to find my daddy.

Don't you have any other family?

No.

Nobody you can stay with?

Just my daddy.

Well, I guess then we'll just have to
take you to the Youth Guidance Center.

That's Drew V. Hall.

Mike, Mike, you can't. What do you mean
I can't?

She's got to go to the Youth Guidance
Center.

I have no other choice.

Uh -huh.

Man's got a little headache today, huh?
Mm -hmm.

Women.

Gina and Chris didn't like the idea of
the Youth Guidance Center.

Say, you got anything there on the dead
man?

Yep. Larry Cox and his brother are, or
were, the musclemen for some small -time

bookies here in town.

Brother Dave's out in Quentin doing
three -to -nine extortion aggravated

assaults. Dave Cox.

Isn't he the one the D .A. tried to tie
into the...

Judson bedding operation? The very same
one, yeah.

What have we got on the gun we found?

Unregistered, but Larry Cox prints,
they're all over it.

Say, then we can assume that he was in
Cavanaugh's apartment on business.

Yeah, we can also assume that
Cavanaugh's got to be someone to deal

took Cox's own gun away from him, too.
Anything on Cavanaugh? No, R &I's

checking on it now.

In the meantime?

Meantime, uh, why don't we start with
Manny Judson?

Good idea.

Now, look, Dave, leave it alone, will
you?

Leave it alone?

What are you going to tell me, Manny?

What are you going to tell me, to forget
all about it? Well, let the police take

care of it. You keep pushing people
around, they're going to tie us in.

accessories to a murder.

I don't care about that.

Just tell me where I can find Fred
Calvino.

Where does he hang out?

Where do I look?

No.

I know you, Dave. You've got a temper.
You're just liable to use your...

It's all right, man. I got a job.

I might only use it on you if you don't
tell me.

Look,

he owes me money.

Tell him! If I knew where he was, he
owes me.

It's my nature.

Always the joker.

Joker? Me?

Business looks good for you.

Where else can you be a fighter pilot
for a quarter?

And I'm not lending you a red cent.

I can read you like a book, Cavanaugh.

Well, then you know I got my back
against the wall.

That's a very good way to scratch it,
you know what I mean?

Come on, please.

Just this once.

Just this once.

You've stuck me for the last time,
Crumb.

Please, Joey.

I gotta get away for a while. I'll get
it back to you.

Oh, you're leaving town?

Just for a while.

Well, have a nice trip.

And do something for me, will you,
Cavanaugh?

Stay as long as you can.

Joey? Go away. Get lost.

Breeze. Blow.

Disappear.

Well, afternoon, Manny.

What are you guys doing here? Came up to
see your view, Manny. Beautiful.

Say, what happened? You don't look so
good.

Meet up with one of your dissatisfied
customers?

I'll call if I decide to press charges.

Against Fred Cavanaugh. What did he do,
work you over?

I'm sorry. I don't know the name.

Do you know Larry Cox?

Oh, him I know. Knew.

Knew he's dead.

No kidding.

Uh -huh.

He did our jobs for you, didn't he?

For a lot of people.

He was what you call a freelance.

Somebody tried to freelance Fred
Cavanaugh, and Cavanaugh killed him.

Well, he wasn't working for me. Like I
said, I don't know no Fred Cavanaugh.

Besides which, when I used Larry Cox, it
was for nothing to get killed over.

Strictly legit, right?

Just like his brother, Dave.

Did they try to tie me into that?

Didn't that D .A. do his best, too?

But didn't my lawyers prove?

Goodbye, Manny.

You know, you ought to get some
antiseptic on that. You could get

You better look out.

Manny, just by chance, if you happen to
hear about this fellow Cavanaugh, give

us a ring, will you?

Why don't we make it an early night? You
can get back, have a nice home -cooked

meal. Home -cooked meal? I haven't had
many of those, have I? I know.

Listen, before Jeannie goes back to
Tucson, we've got to have you over for

evening. That would be very nice, yes.
How about this evening? Yes, that would

be very nice. Oh, you like that, don't
you? How subtle.

Nice, quiet evening, huh? Home -cooked
meal.

Thank you very much.

Smell that?

Pot roast, my favorite meal.

So what are you expecting guests? You've
got three places.

Uh -huh.

Mike, supper won't be ready for a while.
The roast isn't quite done.

If you're staying, I'll send another
place. Yes, ma 'am, but what are you

here?

Well, Chris, I'll let you toss the salad
at the last minute, okay?

Hi, Dad. Steve.

Hi, Jeannie. What is she doing here?

Chris is going to have supper with us.

How did you get out of the Youth
Guidance Center?

Oh, I walked out.

Well, you're going to walk right back in
again.

No, I'm not.

We'll see about that.

But I don't like it there.

It doesn't matter whether you like it or
not. It's for your own good.

Oh.

Why is it every time a grown -up wants
you to do something, they say it's for

your own good?

Like I don't know what's good for me.
Like I'm stupid or something.

You know, it seems to me if it were good
for me, I'd be able to see it for

myself.

And I wouldn't need you to tell me.
Well, you're not old enough to

When you get old enough, then you'll
understand.

That's another thing. When you're older,
you'll understand.

Putting me in that place is like
sweeping the dirt under the rug. Out of

out of mind, right? Wait a minute. Let's
start all over again, shall we? Clean

the slate.

It's the law.

Do you understand that?

You are 15 years old. And the law says
that anyone who... What's so funny?

You can't talk to a teenager like that.
You start arguing with her, you've

already lost your point.

Oh, now you're going to tell me how to
raise a teenage daughter, is that it?

I'll come back to this up for another
night. No, no, no, I wouldn't think of

going now, not now.

Knowing how well you understand the
problem. No, I didn't say that. Yeah, I

think you ought to try and solve it. Go
ahead.

No, I can't. Don't be my guest. Go on.

Okay, come on, let's go.

Excuse me, you got a sweater?

talked it over, and she said you had a
lot of clout.

Now, you could... She did, huh?

Well, she shouldn't make promises I
can't keep.

You...

What? I don't know something.

Tastes good.

Just like your mother used to make.

Silent treatment is the same, too.

I'm sorry.

Pass the gravy.

The really irritating part is that
you're right.

Yeah. I lost her, Mike.

What happened?

Driving downtown.

She's sitting next to me. We come to a
stoplight.

She jumps out. I went after her, and
I've been looking for her ever since.

Where are you?

1 ,200 block on Wilson.

Stay there. I'm coming right out.

What's the matter?

He lost her.

Who, Chris?

Yes, Chris.

She's out there wandering the streets
somewhere.

I'll go with you.

Hi,

Gene. Hi, Mike.

Gee, I hope the potatoes aren't cold. I
hate cold mashed potatoes.

Central dispatch.

This is Lieutenant Stone.

I want you to contact Inspector Keller
and tell him to drop the search.

I've already contacted the subject.

You know, I'm like a homing pigeon.

Once I've been someplace, I can always
find my way back. Even in the dark.

No, I'm sure he'll understand.

Thank you.

My little homing pigeon.

You know where the Youth Guidance Center
is, don't you?

So you just fly your way back there.

But I'm talking about...

Places I like.

Well, don't like this place too much
because you're not going to be here too

long.

Why?

We've gone all through that.

I know. I know.

It's for my own good, and I'll
understand when I'm older, right?

Right.

What's the law know about me?

The people who wrote those laws never
heard of Chris Cavanaugh.

All right. How do they know what's best
for me? Never mind. They write laws for

15 -year -old girls like 15 -year -old
girls are all alike.

All right. I'm sorry.

No, you're not.

I can't do that.

She can sleep on the extra bed in my
room, and then you can take her down to

center on your way to work tomorrow.

All right.

I'll make a call, and I'll see if it's
okay.

All right.

You win.

You win, so stop the crying, have your
supper, and go to bed.

It's all right.

It's all right.

You know, your dad's not a bad guy after
all.

He's a sucker for killing.

I know.

Most men are.

I can't seem to sleep.

Jean told me about her mother, how she
died.

Jean was about your age.

She took it pretty hard.

But at least she had you.

And I had her.

You know, I'm not going to have anybody
if you put my father in jail.

I'm not going to put your father in
jail. The law is.

I just work for the law.

Well, do you have to work so hard?

I mean... I know what you mean.

And the answer is yes.

There's evidence that your father killed
a man.

Well, if he did, he must have had a good
reason.

Then why did he run away?

I don't know.

Maybe he was afraid.

But my father wouldn't kill anyone.

He's a good man.

He's kind and gentle.

How long has it been since you saw your
father?

Well, my mom's told me all about him.

The things he said and did.

How much he loved me and how much he
loved him.

And she couldn't love anyone who could
kill somebody.

Chris,

maybe he's changed.

People do, you know.

You didn't.

Jean told me.

Jean told you that?

Mm -hmm.

She said I didn't change?

I changed a lot.

Inside.

Deep inside.

I'm not the same man I was when my wife
died.

I'm different.

Maybe nobody sees it, but I know it.

That's all it is.

Hey, hey, all right, Clarence, how you
doing, baby? All right, Steve, how are

you? Very early for a cop. Well, the
city never sleeps, you know what I mean?

Yeah.

So how's the bookie business?

What bookie business? Oh, Mr. Vice, come
knock on my door, babe.

Try to tell me something.

No, no, I need something.

Sure. If I got it, you got it. Fred
Cavanaugh.

Never heard of him.

Small -time gambler, he dusted Larry
Cox.

Then you have nothing to worry about.

You just go to the morgue and wait. He's
bound to show up sooner or later.

Larry's brother Dave will see to it.

Oh, Dave's in Quentin.

That is a good thing. Or there would be
one less Fred Cavanaugh in the world.

You're all right. You know that.

Listen, I need a little help here.

As long as it's legal.

Why don't you go around and talk to some
of your friends, see if they know the

guy, all right? He's a shot.

How much?

Twenty.

25. The inflation.

20. Recession.

Lieutenant Stone always gives me 25.

So when I become a lieutenant, I'll give
you 25, Clarence.

My first drink tonight, I'll toast to
your quick promotion.

Hey, I don't know what happened.

I'm sure I put the alarm on last night.

Sure isn't like you'd oversleep.

Unless it's old age.

Oh, very funny.

You want some coffee? No, no, no, no.
Haven't got time.

Where's Chris?

She's not up yet.

Well, I said I was going to take her to
the youth guidance center on the way to

work. I'll take her down later.

Wait a minute now.

You said you'd take her down?

Yeah, and then you can take me to lunch.

Okay?

That's a date.

Chris, come here and sit down.

Did you turn off Mike's alarm clock?

Yes.

Jeannie, if I hadn't, I would have been
on my way back to that place right now.

Come on. Can I stay until he finds my
father?

I'm sorry, Chris. I promised Mike I'd
take you downtown right after breakfast.

I've never seen you have a cup of coffee
in the morning.

I always have a cup of coffee first
thing in the morning. I just don't have

in the office the first thing in the
morning.

You always slept, huh?

Missed the first cup of coffee at home.

Never mind all that. Just reading the
report on Kevin. Well, it's kind of

surprising. Got petty theft, break and
entering, spent a term in Vacaville a

couple years ago, gambling charges.

No assault or robberies, huh? Nothing
like that, just small stuff.

Mr. Cavanaugh was really small time.

Well, that doesn't paint the picture of
a strong, violent man, does it?

Well, then he got lucky wrestling with
Cox.

And Manny Judson.

Somebody else could have worked him
over.

That's all you had?

Yeah, that's about it. He's got a few
drunken disorderlies.

Cavanaugh was married, wife divorced,
tomorrow he's in prison.

Yeah, she just died recently in Utah.

No, Utah. No, she, uh... According to
the prison record, she lives in Kansas.

Where in Kansas?

Elmdale.

Right there.

Elmdale, Kansas.

Yeah.

Come on, will you, Dave?

Joey, I asked you a question.

Okay.

Yeah, Tabernacle comes in now and then,
usually when he's broke.

When was the last time you shot him?

He was here yesterday, but I ran him
out. Honest, I ran him out. I got

that I ran him out.

I don't know where he is now, I swear.

He tried to tap me for some money, but
he got nothing. I gave him absolutely

nothing. I got witnesses for that, too.

Who?

Well, a guy named Cliff Healy was here
and...

And Big Gordy.

Benny Timmons.

Yeah.

Yeah, but Benny might know where he is.

Where is she?

I said I'd take her down there. Where is
she?

In the kitchen.

Chris. Chris, come in here.

I want to talk to you.

Well, at least you can take off your
hat.

What's the matter, Mike?

Sit down.

Right over there.

You're in trouble, right?

Nothing that you're lying can't get you
out of it.

Now, I want you to tell me about your
mother.

I told you.

My mother's dead.

Why? Why?

Because she's alive and well and living
in Kansas.

I just talked to her over the phone.

She's worried sick about you.

She's been worried about her for eight
days. Eight days not knowing whether

she's alive or dead.

She doesn't care about me.

She's got him.

Him? Who is him?

Andy. The guy she's gonna marry.

But you're her daughter, Chris.

Tell her that.

Whenever Andy's around, she doesn't even
know I'm alive.

All they do is look at each other and
smile and hold hands.

It makes me sick.

Do you know the meaning of the word
love?

I just talked to your mother over the
telephone.

She loves you. She loves him.

She loves you both.

In different ways, Chris.

You'll understand when you're... When
I'm older. I know.

No, you don't. Now, you're a bright kid.

But there are a lot of things you don't
know.

I know that I want to be with my father.

And that's for sure.

We should be in Judge Thackeray's
chambers by three o 'clock.

I, uh... I promised her mother I'd take
temporary custody of her until we found

her father.

She'll be staying here with us.

For how long?

I don't know how long.

Until her mother comes and gets her. The
sooner, the better.

Why don't you quit trying to sound like
a gruff old bear?

You've got a great big soft spot in your
heart.

Oh, no.

In my head.

Don't stand there grinning at me.

Get her ready, will you? Come on.

Come on then, punk.

Drive. Said you had something to tell
me.

Tell you on the way, drive.

Did you find Cavanaugh?

No, no.

It's something just as good. Oh, come
on, Clarence. Quit playing games with

will you?

I don't play no games about Dave Cox.

He ain't in queue. He's on the streets.
I saw him at a bar a little while ago.

He's asking questions about Fred
Cavanaugh. And when Crazy Dave asks

he gets answers.

Let me out of here.

You're acting like somebody's after you,
Clarence.

Someone else. Who?

You promise you won't tell?

Sure, I promise.

Bye, squad.

Call me when I get something.

Teach me to make a promise.

You heard what the judge said, didn't
you?

Yes, sir.

Are there any questions?

No, sir.

Then you know what's expected of you?

I'm supposed to be a little angel.

Just till your mother gets here.

Then you can be yourself again.

You know, Mike, I'm not going to go back
with her. Wait a minute now. Don't give

me any of your lip.

I can take you right back to the judge.
We can make other arrangements.

Okay, Mike.

No lip.

But why can't I stay here with my
father?

What if they put him in prison?

You mean, what if you put him there?

I don't put him there. The law does.

I just arrest him. That's my job.

Well, what kind of a job is that? To
separate a young girl from her father?

Just when she needs him. And what kind
of a father is it who leaves his wife

his daughter and responsibilities?

Well, he had his reasons. Maybe.

You know, just maybe. He's not a nice
man.

But my mother said he was a nice man.

And why would she lie to me?

Six race aqueduct, best gal, 20 to win,
LBC.

Ah, good day to you, Pilgrim. Time to
shine.

Past time from the look of your zapatos.

Pilgrim, I am sorry, but I just heard
the telephone ring.

Will you excuse me while I go and answer
it?

You told the officer that he ran right
past you.

Yeah, that's right.

And those shots came closer to killing
me than him.

I'm telling you, something's got to be
done. Okay, we're trying.

You know what it's like to be shot at?

What do you got?

Well, Captain, I was staying here until
somebody took a shot at him.

Can you give us a description of this
man?

The one with the gun?

Big, tough, about your size, but
younger.

That's him.

That's the guy with the gun. That's him.

David Cox, paroled in San Quentin two
weeks ago. I just talked to his parole

officer. He gave me his address.

Interested? Yes, I am. Thanks a lot.

Homicide. Sergeant Zagulovich.

Yeah, this is Clarence Herby. Let me
start the color.

He's not here.

Let me talk to Stone.

Lieutenant's not here either. Any
message?

No, I'll try him at home.

What'd they say? You gotta spend money
to make money?

You're getting on my nerves.

Hello?

Yeah, let me speak to Lieutenant Stone.

He's not here right now.

Well, I got a message for him.

Okay, let me get a pencil.

can't seem to find one. Will you call
back later?

No, just tell him Clarence called about
Fred Kavanaugh.

Hello?

Hello? Did you say Fred Kavanaugh?

Yeah, that's right.

Well, the lieutenant's been waiting to
hear from you.

Why don't you tell me what it is and I
can remember it.

Who is this?

Um, his daughter.

Yeah, well, you tell him that Clarence
Hobie called. And you can tell him Fred

Kavanaugh is holed up in the old
Wrightwood area project.

Building 23.

The old Wrightwood area project,
building 23.

I'll tell him. All right, tell him I'll
come by tomorrow to pick up on it.

Uh, yeah, we're looking for the manager.

Is that what you're looking for, are
you? We're the police.

You're going to fool me.

If you're looking for somebody to bust,
I've got a good selection.

You can take your pick of anybody on
this floor.

According to our information, David Cox
lives here.

If your information says so, he must.

I mean, when are the police ever wrong
about anything?

Is he here now?

No. Can we see his room?

You can if you have a...

Elgrim, did you come here to have these
swathes fuzzed up or balded off?

Jeannie, can you tell me the name of the
company that the cab was with?

No.

Jeannie.

Will you listen to me? I can't do
anything until I hang up this telephone.

I'll let you know the minute I find
anything out. Goodbye.

What's that all about?

When Gina was coming home from the
market, she saw Chris drive off in a

She left?

Evidently. Go where?

Lieutenant, did a Clarence Holby get in
touch with you?

Did he call here?

Yes, but he said he was going to call
you at home. Did he get you?

No, he got Chris instead.

Come on, let's find him.

Well, who the devil are you?

You nearly killed me with that thing.

Well, what are you doing here?

Running away.

Well, keep on running. This building's
occupied.

Did you hear me? I said beat it.

Look, kid, if you're not gone in two
seconds, I'm going to have to hurt you.

I'm Chris, Daddy.

What are you talking about? Chris who?

Your Chris.

Chris?

All the way from Kansas?

How did you know I was here?

Aren't you glad to see me?

How did you find me?

A man phoned Mike and...

Told me where you were. Who's Mike?

Mike who? He wasn't there, so I took the
message.

Well, Mike who? Who's Mike? Who was the
man that phoned?

Mike's a cop.

But he doesn't know, Daddy. I took the
message.

Well, who's the guy that phoned? Nobody
knows I'm here.

Nobody. I don't know. I don't remember.

It was Charlie or Clarence or somebody
else.

No wonder we couldn't find Clarence.
Vice busted him for making bookies down

City Jail.

Why don't we get somebody from Records
to go downstairs and talk to him?

He has 81 to headquarters.

But, Daddy, I've come all the way from
Kansas to be with you. You can get your

tail back to Kansas. I can't.

Well, then don't.

I haven't got any place to go.

Nobody to go to. I haven't got anybody
else but you.

Look, Chris, you don't have me.

The last thing I need right now is a
sniveling kid hanging along behind me.

I'm not a sniveling kid.

I won't get in your way, Daddy.

I promise.

Look, what is it with you? Didn't your
mama teach you to mind?

We'll go away together.

On $1 .37?

That's all I got between me and Tap
City. I can't even get to Marin.

I've got money.

You've what?

You got money?

How much?

Fifty dollars.

It's my birthday money, and I've saved
it since... Got it on you?

Sure.

Let's have it.

No, Daddy.

Not unless I go with you.

Look, I'm your dad, aren't I?

All right.

I'm ordering you to give me that money.
Do you understand?

Now, that's an order.

Give me that money.

You're not leaving me.

Leave it to me.

I need it.

We're going away together.

Dave!

Dave, I didn't mean for anything to
happen. We were wrestling for the gun

went off. You killed him, Freddy.

Now it's your turn.

There's just one thing I want to tell
you.

You're a creep, Daddy.

A good -for -nothing creep.

I wish Mama told me about you.

It would have saved me the trip.

Yeah. Well, thank you, Lieutenant, for
looking after Chris and, well, just

everything. It was my pleasure, Mrs.
Cavanaugh. Oh, that's not what you said

this morning.

You said I was a pain in the neck and
you'd be glad to get rid of me.

Did I say that? Yes, I think you said
something very close to that, yes.

Well, I... I guess I said it because...
Because you meant it?

At the time, yes.

Believe me, I understand.

Well, if you're going to talk about me,
the least you could do is do it behind

my back.

Hey, where's Andy?

He's over in the car.

Well, let's go.

What's a family reunion without the
whole family? Right.

Thanks again, Lieutenant.

Goodbye.

Goodbye, Mike.

Goodbye, Slugger.

Hey, if I write you a letter, will you
answer me? Sure, I'll answer.

What is this great magic power you have
over all these women?

I don't know.

But I tell you, whatever it is, I better
be careful how I use it.
