Mr. Morgan, you better listen to me.

Because I got me an idea about something that could just get you into a whole

lot of trouble.

What idea is that, Jack?

A doubt.

How you come by all that money you kept sending your sister?

How?

Well, that idea gets you buried, Jack.

The Forrest brothers.

Darren's unconscious.

Lloyd's been shot.

Any witnesses?

Scared these people pretty bad, Inspector. About all they did see was a

driving out.

And we found traces of blood leading to the squad it was in.

This Morgan himself must be wounded, too.

Ah, it worries you, Lorraine.

He went out a couple of hours ago. I don't know what's going on.

Haven't you heard? Somebody knocked off the dog track here.

According to the radio description, sounds a lot like your boyfriend.

Well, there's $50 ,000 up for grabs, so you wait for Morgan. I'm going to take

Lorraine back to make it. Come on.

I'm not going.

You better do as I say.

No, Bill, please.

Well, you're going, Laura.

Any way you choose.

The FBI.

A Quinn Martin production.

Starring Ephraim Zimbalist Jr.

Also starring...

Philip Abbott.

William Reynolds.

With guest stars, Billy Greenbush.

John Anderson.

Lane Bradbury.

Tonight's episode, The Loner.

You got a wife?

Good.

You keep that in mind.

I stand right here.

What are you doing? Shut up.

Fill it up.

Within hours of the daring daylight robbery of a Kansas City, Kansas

center by a lone gunman, the stolen automobile used in the robbery was found

the parking lot of the Kansas City, Missouri Municipal Airport.

A report of the robbery was immediately forwarded to FBI headquarters.

Because descriptions and composite drawings of the loner matched those of

holdup man in three large unsolved bank robberies in Kansas and Missouri,

Inspector Erskine arrived from Washington to spearhead the

Inspector? No. Good to see you again.

Here's what we've got so far.

Hi, Tom. No. We interviewed ticket agents on all the airlines after the

but no one could remember anyone of the loner's description taking an outbound

flight. So we took it a step further. We had the flight crews interviewed by

agents at their destinations.

Did you come up with anything?

Yes. A stewardess on a flight to Miami remembered a passenger who resembled the

subject. Good. Where is she now? The crew had a layover in Miami, but they're

already on their way back.

Now, this is the car.

It was stolen two days ago in Wichita.

He put a set of stolen plates on it.

Yeah, that's the same routine he used in the Missouri bank jobs.

Any evidence in it?

Yes, over here, Inspector.

Now, that's a piece of a photograph we found wedged behind the seat. We checked

it out with the owner of the car. He said it wasn't his.

Looks underexposed.

He probably just kept the ones that turned out better.

Or destroyed them.

All right, Noah, you better get these off right away.

Right.

Resurrection in the night, saith the Lord.

He that believeth in me, though he die, yet shall he live.

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.

Believest thou this?

Emily Morgan did.

As much as anyone I ever knew.

And if every friend who ever loved her was as a flower.

She would sleep tonight under a forest of roses.

May thy sleep be sweet, Emily.

Amen.

I'm sorry, Mr. Morgan.

I didn't know where to reach you.

I had to send a telegram, only your sister wouldn't let me.

All right, Reverend.

Thank you.

I'm sorry I took so long getting back, Emily.

Forgive me.

You remember me, Mr. Morgan?

Jack Wiley?

I work for your sister.

Yeah, I remember you.

Was she sick very long?

No more than a week.

She wouldn't let me go for a doctor until it was too late.

Never was her way to complain.

Now, I worked for her close to two years.

She told me all about you.

Talked about you coming home.

Something I never did understand, though.

All them checks and money orders you used to send her from different places.

She'd have me take them right back to post office, send them off general

delivery wherever you were last.

So you wouldn't be out any money on her account.

You're getting into something that ain't none of your business, Jack.

Well, I didn't mean to do that.

I mean, money's money.

Don't matter to me how you come by it.

All I was thinking was, well, you must be doing real good out on the road, Mr.

Morgan.

You're not looking for a partner, are you?

No.

Thanks for what you did.

Well, Mr. Morgan, I can keep my mouth shut if that's what you're worried

Goodbye, Jack.

I wouldn't say that it flattered him, but it sure looks like the same man.

Did you speak to him at all?

Let's see.

I asked him if he wanted a drink. He said no.

I served him his lunch, but he didn't even bother to eat it.

Do you recall anyone sitting next to him?

No.

What is it?

Of course I remember. I lent him a pencil.

What for?

Well, he wanted to order something from the airline gift catalog, the ones you

find in back of the seats.

Do you remember what it was or where he wanted it sent?

No, but I know he filled out the blank. I showed him how to fold it to make an

envelope, and he put a 20 inside.

Tom, ask the airline's home office where gift orders are processed.

We'll want to forward all those mailed on or after the day of the robbery for

handwriting examination.

If he mailed it. I mailed it for him.

Right before he left the plane in Atlanta, he asked if I had a stamp.

I told him I didn't, but that I'd see that it got mailed as soon as it reached

Miami.

Funny.

He didn't have any change for the stamp.

I told him it was only eight cents to forget it, but he put a dollar bill in

hand and just kept going.

It was as if he wouldn't or couldn't take a favor from anybody.

Mr. Morgan?

What I started to say before.

Now, if you're worried, I don't know how to keep my mouth shut.

Mr. Morgan, you better listen to me.

Because I got me an idea about something that could just get you into a whole

lot of trouble.

What idea is that, Jack?

About.

How'd you come by all that money you kept sending your sister?

What that idea gets you buried, Jack.

Good evening, Tony.

I'll be in back.

Aren't you from up around Townsville?

Do I know you?

Yeah. About two or three years back.

You're Johnny Morgan.

I used to go with a friend of yours, Cody Evans.

And you got a sister, don't you? Lily, is it?

Emily. Oh, yeah, that's it. Well, does she still live up around there?

We buried her today.

Oh, my.

I'm sorry.

The 20s and 50s. A real wad.

Then a little while ago, this kid comes in.

He tells him he knew where he got all that money he was sending to his sister.

I thought there was going to be trouble.

He's, uh, got a gun, Mr. Bowen.

Mr.

Changs.

Evening.

Bill Bowler now on the place.

Everything all right?

I thought you'd like to know we also serve a thick sirloin steak with all the

trimmings for $4 .95.

That takes up the curse off tomorrow morning.

Must be on the house.

Laura Ann had fixed offering up the nice meal.

That table over there be all right?

Don't forget your coat.

I'll put it right over here for you.

Enjoy your meal.

Good chance he's blown to a rental car in the parking lot.

License plate's on the tag there. Check it out.

You want to see a menu?

It doesn't really matter much.

Why don't you just surprise me?

Well, because I'm not much on surprises.

What if I just bring you steak?

Hey, there must be a couple thousand bucks in there.

You can really spot them, Mr. Bowen.

That's right, Lloyd.

Just like it was a neon sign.

Hey.

Hey!

You didn't seem to know where you lived, so I got you a room here.

Motel clerk said you could pay in the morning.

Where's my car?

It's still in the parking lot behind the Emerald Isle.

It's all right. I locked up everything.

How much I owe you for going to all this trouble?

Try thanks.

Use your keys.

Forget it.

I don't want it.

Here's the key to your room.

Think you can make it all right?

Hey!

You forgot your present.

You keep it.

Look, I told you, you don't owe me anything.

I don't have any use for it now.

Well, you might feel different in the morning. You can pick it up at the bar.

You didn't even tell me your name.

processed the photograph found in the stolen car of the loner abandoned at the

airport. Did he make anything out of it?

I think it's a grandstand of some sort.

There's an image of what appears to be a vendor in a striped uniform.

Sounds like a ballpark.

Or a racetrack.

That's very possible.

And there are also some palm trees in the background.

Could have something to do with a job he's planning.

Have you found out yet about the airline gift orders?

Agents are processing them now.

I'll let you know as soon as they come up with anything.

They still say we should have kept the money.

Oh, you boys still think nickel and dime.

That diagram in that suitcase means something. Either a big job he's

and when he's already pulled off, got the money stashed somewhere.

It's a lot more at stake than a couple thousand bucks.

He's gonna lead us to it.

Good morning.

Going shopping?

Yeah, just waiting for the stores to open.

Lorraine, that fellow you gave a lift to last night, I bet he was plenty

thankful.

No, he's not a thankful type.

If he comes back in here, I would like it if you'd keep being nice to him.

How come?

Well, something tells me he's an important man. I might be able to do a

business with him.

Well, I don't know.

Laura, have I ever encouraged you to go out with any of the men who come in

here?

No. That's because I never thought they were good enough for you.

Now, believe me, you could do a whole lot worse than this one.

And be doing me a favor.

for last night.

Well, you can say thank you.

Where are you going?

Shopping. It's a nice day.

Thought we could go for a drive.

Okay.

Lewis, we got a break.

We've located the loner's hand -printed gift order. And the document section is

matched to the hand -printing in his bank robbery demand note.

What was the address?

He ordered a China tea set delivered to an Emily Morgan, Carroll Postmaster,

Rural Route 5, Townsville, Georgia.

I'll alert the resident agent covering the area and have the U .S. attorney in

Kansas City contacted about a warrant.

We should get there sometime this evening.

Why do you stay here?

Well, it beats sitting around bus stations waiting on a bus that never

goes anywhere.

And no boyfriends?

Sure, the cream of the crop.

And they all turn sour.

Bet you have girlfriends all over the place, huh?

No.

Yeah, well, I heard that before.

First girl that I went out with, she told me I had a face that looked like

business end of an old shovel.

The second girl, she agreed with her, so I never did date much after that.

Well, what did they know?

I like your looks. They're strong.

Besides, it's what's on the inside of a man that counts.

Yeah.

Maybe what's on the inside of me is even uglier than what's on the outside.

Well, I don't believe that.

Well, it makes me stand tall when you say it, but that's because you don't

really know me.

Well, I know you're a gentle man, and you can be kind.

I also know that I'm going to miss you when you go, and I have a feeling like

that's going to be real soon.

I'm moving on tomorrow.

You ever going to come back this way?

If I have reason.

Yeah, well, look me up at the end of the aisle sometime.

Laura.

Come with me.

Why?

Because I've been alone most of my life, except for Emily.

A man needs somebody.

I thought you were the kind that never really needed anybody.

I didn't think I was either.

But since I've met you, I realize how all alone I really am.

I need you, Laura.

I'll be good to you.

All right.

Because I have a feeling like you won't be coming back this way again.

Look, I had a right to be in that house.

Miss Emily always had me look after things for her.

Well, I wasn't about to stop just because she died.

You also knew her brother had come back.

Well, yeah.

But that money you found on me, that wasn't his, really.

It was still wrapped up in bands.

It was stolen money.

I was only taking what was due me for looking after Miss Emily all that time

while he was gone.

Where's Morgan now?

Beats me.

You know, you took quite a chance breaking into that house. I suppose he'd

up while you were going through his things.

No, he couldn't have done that.

He was down in Macon.

How did you know that?

Well, I followed him.

He was down in the Emerald Isle, just drinking whiskey like there was no

tomorrow. All right, Wiley.

What's this money for, Laura?

Well, you hadn't held out on my paycheck in a long time, and I just wanted to

pay you what I owed you.

Let's just call it a wedding present.

Or am I jumping the gun a little bit?

Well, you never can tell.

Hey, Bill, you've really been nice about everything.

Oh, I'd just like to see you finally smile once in a while.

You've had your share of rough breaks.

Happy to see it finally coming your way.

Thank you.

You haven't said a word since we left town, Laura.

Do you even want to know where we're going?

No. I don't care as long as I'm with you.

You believe that, don't you?

Is there any reason I shouldn't?

Well, there's things about me that... There's things about everyone that are

just best left hidden.

Johnny?

I borrowed this from you to pay back Boland.

It's all right.

See, he got me out of a scrape with the law.

Bad checks.

I ran up a whole string of them and I would have gone to prison and he paid

all off for me.

Is that all?

Yeah. Well, if that's all, I think we can stop bothering the past.

It's all over.

We're with the FBI.

I'm Special Agent Colby. This is Inspector Erskine.

Where can we find the owner?

That'd be Mr. Boland. He stepped out about an hour ago.

Could I help you with something?

You ever seen that man?

Well, I'm not sure.

Listen, maybe you better wait till Mr.

Boland comes back.

We'd like to hear what you have to say first.

I don't know. I mean, he kind of looks like that guy that drove off with Laura

Ann this morning. She was a waitress here.

Where were they going?

I don't know. I mean, that's honest. I don't know.

What's the girl's full name?

It's Mill Park.

Laura Ann Mill Park.

They drove off in a gray car.

I don't know anything.

You know, I've only been working here a couple of days.

Mr. Boland, he...

Sort of has a reputation for being kind of tough, and I don't think he'd like

someone talking about what goes on here, you know.

There's no need to tell him we were here.

I'd like you to call us if you find out where they were going.

Right.

It'll be just like I told you. So welcome to Florida's finest, Miss

Down at the locksmith, they're preparing you a key to the city at this very

minute. Well, I should certainly hope so.

I mean, it's not every day you get to come here.

I've got to go out for several hours, but I'll be down the way later at number

seven.

You be all right till I get back?

Yeah, I'll be fine.

Maine might be too long in the future before you and I might need only one set

of keys.

Lots of wedding chapels all over Florida.

Don't stand too far in advance, Johnny.

I never have.

Feel like it this time.

We'll talk when I get back.

That's right.

Jacksonville. The Tropic Palms Motel.

Jacksonville. I didn't do far away.

Just a minute.

Morgan's coming out now.

He's alone.

He's taking off in Laura's car.

Stay with him. We'll be coming down.

Right.

According to the bartender, he left Macon early this morning with a waitress

from the Emerald Isle. Any indication where they were going?

No. The owner might know something, but we haven't been able to see him. What do

you know about him? Not much. His name is William Bolin.

The police say he has a number of hoodlum contacts.

He's never been convicted, but two of his men, the Forrest brothers, have

time for armed robbery.

Arthur, here's Tom.

Mr. Ward,

we just received word that the owner of the Emerald Isle and one of his men left

early this afternoon for Jacksonville, Florida. That ties in with a partial

photograph we found in the stolen car in Kansas City.

It resembles a dog track just outside of Jacksonville.

Lewis, I'll have the Jacksonville office alert the police about what we have

now. We'll leave right away.

It's still Golden Pride.

Power Drive closing the gap.

Power Drive is now taking the lead.

Get on back in here.

Put your hands behind your head.

You two, get in here.

You fill this up or I'll kill all of you.

Move it.

Hurry, Dad.

You got a wife?

Yes, sir.

Kids?

I sure do.

You keep that in mind.

Yes, sir. Fine.

Is that all of it? Yes, sir. Put it right here.

Now you get in there.

Move it.

Yes, sir.

Bill, what are you doing here?

Nothing. All right, where is he, Laura Ann?

He went out a couple of hours ago. I don't know where. What's going on?

Haven't you heard? Somebody knocked off the dog track here.

According to the radio description, sounded a lot like your boyfriend.

Well, there's $50 ,000 up for grabs, so you wait for Morgan. I'm going to take

Laura Ann back to Macon. Come on.

I'm not going.

You better do as I say.

No, Bill, please.

Well, you're going, Laura.

Any way you choose.

Pretty sure that's him, sir. Of course, he had this tape across his nose and

around his face.

Something like this.

Yeah.

Well, that's it.

Did he say anything to you?

No.

Come to think of it, he did say something.

He asked me if I had a wife and kids.

Thank you.

Yes.

The security guard said he wasn't close enough to identify the suspect when he

drove away.

What about the car?

Small, older, model convertible. Fits the description of the Mill Park girl's

car. He's probably waiting for him somewhere.

Let's start checking motels.

Hey, look.

You got the wrong idea.

Where's Laura?

We were just going to take you to her.

She told us to wait for you.

That's a fact.

Where is she?

Olin. He took her back with him.

6 -Eleven, 11 -Eleven, North Beach, Northern Cafe, 8 -Eleven.

Noted, 4 -Eleven. Correct, 7 -Eleven.

9 -Eleven,

4 -Eleven.

10 -Eleven, 4 -Eleven, Radio.

That's a false alarm, it's in 11 -Eleven.

And the other one's up front.

The Forrest brothers.

Darren's unconscious.

Lloyd's been shot.

Any witnesses?

Scared these people pretty bad, Inspector.

About all they did see was a car driving out.

And we found traces of blood leading to the spot it was in.

This Morgan himself must be wounded, too.

Control to Inspector Erskine.

Erskine.

Have them maintain surveillance.

We'll be there shortly.

How did they find us, Laura?

How did they find us? I didn't tell them, Johnny.

I swear to that.

Please believe me.

Then there isn't any reason why we shouldn't just take off again, is there?

You can't go anywhere, Johnny.

Neither one of us can go anywhere near.

Move in.

Boy, it was so good to trust somebody.

Right there, Morgan.

Can I just ask him something, please?

Of course.

Johnny, you believe me, don't you?

At least say you don't think I sold you out.

I believe you.

Maybe it's like you said.

Just no place for either one of us to go.

John Lee Morgan recovered from his wounds and was found guilty of bank

interstate transportation of stolen property, and car theft.

Jack Wiley was convicted of assaulting federal officers.

William Bolin and Lloyd and Darren Forrest were convicted by the state of

Florida of attempted murder.
