Mersey's nuts. He thinks everybody's out
to get him.

I'm not putting out any news here. We
all know we're working for a psycho.

just that nobody's had the nerve to
quit. A couple of guys once did.

Even hit out real good.

Where's your father?

He dies.

Is that agreed?

When? When I'm ready.

Inspector, I told you I never saw him
before.

Then what was he doing in your office
this morning?

You'd better tell me about it. He wanted
information about a diamond shipment

arriving here.

When? Tonight.

Face it, William Mersey.

You're not the thinker.

That's not your realm.

Without me, you wouldn't know what to do
or where to go.

I want to kill you so bad.

Yeah.

I know.

The FBI.

A Quinn Martin production starring
Ephraim Zimbalist Jr.

Also starring Philip Abbott, William
Reynolds.

With guest stars William Windham, Tom
Troop,

Victor Holchak, Catherine Hellman.

Tonight's episode, The Jug Marker.

Move!

Spread those legs!

Come on, inside.

Move.

Paper? Yeah, go ahead.

How is it?

Looks good.

Are you all right?

Yeah, sure.

Fourth and Columbia are both clear.

There's not a police cruiser in sight.

How's the money? Looks like about a half
a million.

Did you have any trouble with the
guards?

They're all right.

You've been lushing it, haven't you,
too?

Yeah, sure.

I told you to lay off that stuff on its
job.

Percy, that's enough!

Keep going. Yeah, just leave him there.

Can't we?

On July 3rd, the Crescent City National
Bank of New Orleans was robbed of

receipts totaling nearly $150 ,000.

Since the subjects resembled a gang
which had been terrorizing a number of

states with large -scale holdups, agents
of the FBI intensified their

investigation to locate them.

New Orleans, Atlanta, and Jacksonville.

One day a bank, the next time a
racetrack.

They seem to know where the money is and
just when to hit.

Sounds as if they had an advanced man.

Witnesses in at least three of the
robberies have identified a man using

different identities, apparently to gain
information.

Well, if the same man is laying out all
these jobs, he's got to be one of the

best.

Ward.

All right, put him on.

Yes, Pam?

I'll get back to you.

The subject captured near the scene of
the robbery has regained consciousness.

The police have interviewed him.

Anything?

He gave his name as Hank Tabor, but no
other information.

I took it with the Identification
Division and Bureau of Files.

I'd like to talk to him, Arthur.

I'll let New Orleans know you're on the
way.

That's it for today.

Practice.

How

did

you get in?

Through the back door.

I wouldn't want to interrupt anyone who
seemed to be having...

As good a time as you were.

Peppermint? Bavarian imports.

Those things will make you look like a
fish's belly.

I despise you too, Mersey.

Unfortunately, we need each other.

Now, I planned this job rather
carefully. Who told you to go to walkie

I didn't think about them being
monitored.

And all the fireworks?

Nobody got hurt.

What about Tabor?

Why were you picking on him?

He had bad breath.

Well, now he still has bad breath.

But the cops have him now.

He won't talk.

He's afraid of me.

You like to have people afraid of you,
don't you, Marcy?

It's the best form of control.

Tabor had some friends in the group.
Won't that cause dissension?

Nothing I can't handle.

What's the next job?

You are a continual source of amazement
to me, Mercy.

You've just finished cutting up $150
,000.

It's not the money.

It's the action.

I know.

It's the trouble with my job.

Dealing with psychopaths like you.

I should kill you for that.

But you won't.

All right. I need you now.

Maybe someday I won't.

That coin has two sides.

It'll be interesting to see which one of
us walks out first.

All right, now.

This is a secondary road leading into
Mobile.

There'll be a truck full of industrial
diamonds on its way to the city, worth

about $100 ,000.

A road job?

When?

Soon.

I'll let you know.

Why don't you want to tell me?

Because I'm no informer.

Now, look, you told me my rights.

So you're going to protect the man that
did this to you?

No, but... All right, who's behind the
robberies?

Who plans them?

That jug marker.

Who's that?

I don't know.

I don't know anything at all.

You just forget what I told you.

Okay, thank you.

October has an arrest record for armed
robbery. We're checking on his known

associates.

He spent quite a bit of time in Memphis
during the last six months. The office

there is concentrating on it.

The business card was found in the
lining of his jacket.

Public Relations, Palace, New Jersey.

demo.

I'm getting well by the carload.

That's the way the new psychiatrist
calls it.

Have you spoken to him?

Yes.

I won't be going home.

I'm not well enough yet?

No, no, not yet.

I guess I had hoped that this time I...

You know, I just keep thinking about
being with you and Jimmy.

Is he all right? Have you seen him?
Jimmy? Oh, he's fine.

The headmaster tells me we have a genius
on our hands.

Like you, Elias?

You could never stop.

Could you, Elias?

Until they had to bring me here.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean that.

No, no. Go ahead. Finish what you were
going to say.

I forced you into a life you hate.

I badgered you about your lack of
sophistication to enhance my career.

This is not the way it should have
ended.

But don't you see, it hasn't ended.

I am getting well.

For you.

We will be together again.

But it didn't have to happen at all.

If only you'd had a little bit more
strength.

You're not really sorry at all, are you?

These visits, these gifts you send me,
they're just a way of solving your

conscience. Jerry.

Forgive me.

This dream I have.

Of our being together.

Please.

Don't take it away from me.

It's the only thing that stands between
me and the blackness.

Please.

Don't open up the void again.

Please. Terry.

It's going to be all right now.

Wait. Please, couldn't you stay still?

A little bit longer.

Take it easy.

That truck could be another couple of
hours.

What's the matter, Bid?

I was just thinking about Tabor.

You don't have to say anything.

And anything you do say can be used
against you.

And you have the right to a lawyer.

How may I help you?

Do you know a man by the name of Elias
Devon?

Has he done something?

We think he planned the robbery.

Does that mean you suspect I'm involved?

You gave him information about the
armored car delivery, didn't you?

Me? I'm in the escrow department.

We know that just before the robbery,
you were asking a lot of questions

the office. is that it had nothing at
all to do with your department.

I think I'd better speak to a lawyer.

Go right ahead.

I must have been such an easy victim for
him.

He said no one would suspect me.

And after 20 years' experience in the
bank, I could get information he wanted.

Where'd you meet him?

At a flower show in Baton Rouge.

He seemed to know what I was all about.

A girl who's missed connections and is
beginning to count the lines on her

What was his offer?

A full share.

A full share.

I believed it.

Because I wanted to.

Where is he now?

I don't know.

Miss Harnells, you're going to have to
come with us.

Inspector?

We just heard from the resident agent in
Patterson, New Jersey.

Agents looked into Devon Public
Relations. It's a phony.

That's hardly surprising.

His receptionist overheard Devon on the
phone talking to a Lavery Incorporated

mobile about a large shipment of
industrial diamonds.

Call the mobile office.

Have them see if Lavery confirms the
shipment.

Marcy, look out!

Marcy!

Get out of here.

Shipment is missing.

The drivers say the gang switched the
diamonds to another truck they had

here. They couldn't give a description
of the vehicle, though, because they

blindfolded. They could hear the
transfer. What about the gang members?

They were disguised.

But their general descriptions tie in
with the group we've been looking for.

We're processing the truck for latency.

Control to Unit 1.

This one, go ahead.

Lewis. I received a report from Mobile
on the truck hijacking.

Did you uncover anything further?

We just got here, Arthur, but it looks
like the same people who held up the

Crescent City National Bank.

We have more background information on
Devin.

No arrest record, but he came close to
becoming involved in a security swindle

just after leaving college.

He always used a public relations title
as a cover for several get -rich -quick

enterprises.

And his wife suffered a nervous
breakdown.

Go ahead.

Subject matching description of Devon
now leaving building, walking north on

Jakunda, carrying an attaché case and
what looks like a number of file

Turning the corner, heading east on
Haber.

Now entering a black over green
Monterey, New Jersey license plate, LSX,

No one else in the car.

Pulling away now, continuing east on
Haber.

Thank you for. We'll take over from
here.

Devin purchased a ticket to Baltimore,
making connections to Atlanta.

Inspector Erskine boarded the plane with
Agent Colby.

All right, we'll call Baltimore.

So far, he's our best link to the
others. Sooner or later, he's going to

contact. Thank you, Dan.

I almost got my head blown off.

That plan was a trap.

The jug marker sold us out. Why would he
do that?

Why do you think? To get us off his
back.

That just doesn't make any sense, man.

He's got it made. He keeps his hands
clean, he stays out of danger, and he

rich. He's not going to blow a sweet
setup like that.

Yeah, real sweet.

He wants to keep it that way with his
own operation.

If he wanted to get rid of us, he'd have
picked a better way. You backing him?

Huh?

All of you got your heads together with
him?

You're figuring to drop me?

Go ahead, try it on.

Artie, easy.

We just got off the job.

Our nerves are in knots.

Maybe you're right.

But all of you better know that what I
said still goes.

So? So we kill him before he gets home
with us.

Ah, his beef is with the jug marker.

And he's got good reason.

The marker is too smart.

And a few days ago, his beef was with
Tabor.

You trying to tell me Tabor was some
kind of a threat?

Oh, man, he was terrific. He's one of
the best we've had.

Mersey didn't seem to think so.

What do you make of that? The same thing
you do.

Mersey's nuts. He thinks everybody's out
to get him.

I'm not putting out any news here. We
all know we're working for a psychos.

Nobody's had the nerve to quit.

A couple of guys once did.

Even hit out real good.

Where's he found him?

He dies.

Is that agreed?

When?

When I'm ready.

I guess the drinks are on me.

Certainly a surprise. I didn't think I'd
see you again.

Well, we had such a nice time at that
invitational tournament, I thought I'd

look you up again. Besides, maybe we
can... Oh,

you're interested in diamonds.

Indeed I am.

As a matter of fact, I'd like to know,
among other things, a great deal more

about this company.

Value and displacement of inventory, for
instance.

Any news you may have of impending
shipments, things like that.

Are you serious?

Yes, and I'm afraid I don't have much
time.

You're planning a robbery.

Now you've got it.

Dumbfounded. What makes you think I'd
cooperate with anything like this?

These photostats of your IOUs.

The originals are still in the...

Depends of the owners. These gentlemen
are quite impatient. I understand

given you another week, but can you
really raise $30 ,000 in that time?

You introduced me to them and set up the
game.

That's right.

And if I can make this a big enough
operation, why, you'll have plenty of

to pay off these hoodlums.

And still, a sizeable little bonus for
yourself.

I've never done anything like this in my
life.

We all have to begin someplace.

I wouldn't know anything about what you
want.

Good. Then you won't be under suspicion
and you can find out exactly what I want

to know subtly.

Now, shall we get down to business?

Let me outline a few of the things I'll
need to know.

Uh, oh.

Peppermint.

Bavarian import.

Jimmy?

Son?

Oh, I get it.

You're too old for hugging now, aren't
you? All right.

Put it there, Jim. How are you?

Okay.

How are they treating you, all right?

You pay them enough, they should.

Yeah. Sit down a minute.

Here, I want you to open this one first.
This is important.

Here, I'll give you a hand.

How about that, huh?

Notice the autograph on the strap.

Thank you.

I've got a lot of homework to do. May I
go now?

No, you may not go now.

What's bothering you?

I've driven all these miles up here to
see you. You spend half an hour and then

you leave.

Why can't I go with you?

Son, I... I'm a busy man. I travel all
the time and you're only 14.

Well, then hire private teachers.

I'll help you pay for them.

I haven't spent any of the money you've
sent me. Jimmy, it isn't that.

It's... Just give me a year with you.

I'll make it up.

Dad?

You aren't ashamed of me, are you?

Here, I think I've got to run along.

Please.

Jimmy, I don't like a whiner.

Inspector, I told you I never saw him
before.

Then what was he doing in your office
this morning?

You'd better tell me about it.

He wanted information about a diamond
shipment arriving here.

When?

weren't going to use any more to jerk
Marcus' plans.

We'll see what he has to say.

Then we'll know what to do, right?

What's the matter with you, Vic?

You've been uptight about something all
day.

You've even got sweat on your nose.

You know how your nerves get just before
a job.

I'll be back in about an hour.

All right, I'll drive. I know the city.

to your position.

The victim was one of a group of men who
abandoned him.

He's in serious condition and asking to
talk to the FBI.

10 -4.

This is Inspector Erskine of all units
on the special.

I'm on route to the location. Maintain
your positions.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can be used against
you, and you have the right to a lawyer.

you understand?

I better tell you now, man.

I'm never going to make it to the
hospital.

Do you realize it's not one of those
clowns trying to help?

You ready for that?

Who are they?

Ted Honcho's nutcase named Mercy.

Art Mercy.

Leonard Kooning.

Don Andriola.

Victor Stark.

What about the advanced man?

You mean the jug marker?

I don't know. I've never seen him.

Where is he, though?

Who needs him?

Who uses him?

Where can we find him? I don't know.

They'll find each other, though. You can
be sure of that.

The old jug marker draws up such pretty
plans.

Thank you very much.

Now, Bibbs has recovered sufficiently to
give us a signed statement.

Tom, call New Orleans and Mobile.

Have them contact the U .S. Attorney
about authorizing warrants.

Yes, sir.

Memphis has called in response to the
flyers we sent out.

An informant there thinks he spotted
Stark and Andriola.

Nothing in on Mercy.

Where is he?

First arrested at 18 for attempted
murder.

Served time in prisons and a mental
institution.

Escaped eight months ago. Described as
paranoid, armed, and dangerous.

Where does surveillance put Della now?

Well, he arrived in Miami this morning
at 9 -10.

He went to the North Beach Marina where
he boarded a cabin cruiser named the

Thrusher. It was registered under the
name Ellis Martin.

He left early this afternoon for the
Dade County Country Club where he became

very friendly with the operations
manager of the Miami Security Savings

Ted Wilkes.

Has he been interviewed?

Yes, Devin talked to Wilkes about
opening an account at Miami Security's

branch.

Undoubtedly, to establish a source of
information.

It's apparent why Devin chose Miami
Security.

They're planning to close two of their
branches, move their assets to the main

office. That'll involve the transfer of
substantial amounts of cash.

Only no date has been set yet.

That's undoubtedly what Devin wants to
know.

Maybe we can help him.

Edward Stearns.

Consolidated fixtures?

Oh, yes.

Mr. Wilkes filled me in. You're opening
a new plant. Yes. Can you handle our

accounts?

I understand from Mr. Wilkes you carry a
sizable weekly payroll.

It takes some time.

Why?

It would involve the transferring of
sufficient funds.

Can you meet my payroll by Friday, or do
I go elsewhere?

I think it can be arranged.

Good.

I'll notify my controller.

Do a good job, Doc, and I'll even pay
you.

It's the best I can do under these
circumstances.

My friend will take you back to the
city.

Too late, Doctor.

this is

After I finished, they talked freely.

It was then I knew they were going to
kill me.

Is this the man you treated?

Yes. He had a bullet wound in his side.

Excuse me.

Inspector,

this man Mersey, he said he couldn't
wait for some money to be moved because

wound was too bad.

He said they were going to commit a
robbery today.

Did he mention any details?

No.

Police officers, next four and up.

MM poured to one.

Go ahead.

We have a man answering to the
description of Arthur Mersey under

here at the marina.

He's heading toward Devon's boat right
now.

Maintain surveillance. We'll join you
there.

Going someplace?

I thought we weren't going to meet
again.

It's the last time.

I think the job went sour. I haven't
heard from any of my men.

Oh.

Well, maybe they, uh... Maybe they ran
out on you.

Um, the cops got them.

Your plan didn't work, did it?

They didn't get me.

Go on, tell me you didn't pull a double
cross.

How could I?

You weren't supposed to hit the bank.

Until tomorrow, remember?

They must have staked out that bank the
minute I hit town.

You tipped them.

Now beg.

Tell me you didn't set me up.

All right.

I didn't set you up.

Beg.

You're not going to hurt me, Mercy.

You can't fight something you don't
understand.

And you don't understand why I'm not
afraid.

Without fear, you can't act.

Besides, you're alone. Everybody's gone.

Stark, Andreola, Tabor, Bibbs, Cooney.

The FBI can spend all their time just
looking for you. And that doesn't give

too many alternatives.

Maybe you can find some rat hole to rot
in.

Or maybe, just maybe, you can let me
help you. Quit talking, Dylan.

Face it, will you, Mersey?

You're not the thinker.

That's not your realm.

Without me, you wouldn't know what to do
or where to go.

I want to kill you so bad.

Yeah.

I know.

Did anybody follow you here?

No. Can you move this thing?

I think we'd better find a faster route.

This is one. Go ahead.

Verzi and Devon are leaving the boat
now, Inspector.

Right. We're just pulling to the marina.

I give up.

Look, here's my gun.

Don't, don't shoot.

All right, put your hands behind your
head.

Turn around.

Now back out.

Give me the keys to your car.

Are these really necessary? I'm not a
violent person.
