But you said you're going to spend the whole day with me.

Honey, I know it's a disappointment, but... I don't care.

Really, I don't care at all.

Cindy, I'm sorry. Leave me alone.

Cindy?

I must apologize. Cindy doesn't usually... Cindy?

What is this? Who are you?

FBI. Kelly, you're under arrest.

The

FBI.

A Quinn Martin production starring Ephraim Zimbalist Jr.

Also starring...

Philip Abbott, William Reynolds, with guest stars Penny Fuller,

John Erickson, Dewey Martin.

Tonight's episode, The Wedding Gift.

Okay, let's go.

Relax, will you? That's not even the right kind of car.

Well, you said he's supposed to show up at 8 .30? Yeah, that's right.

Hey, there he is.

Now, listen.

Don't sweat this thing.

Just follow my lead nice and easy.

Okay, Kelly.

Nice and easy.

Open it, Mr. Ackerman, or you're dead right here.

Move.

Come on.

No, shut up.

All right, nobody move.

Put your hands on your heads.

Now, listen, all of you.

My partner is going to come down this row of windows and you're going to give

him all your cash. You understand?

Anybody that even thinks about hitting an alarm button on this guy gets it.

All right, now move.

All right, lady, let's move.

Let's go, lady.

All right, the lady in the green, get on over here.

Put the cash in there.

Come on, blonde lady.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Hey, you. Dude in the yellow shirt. Get him up. That a boy.

Let's go.

Nobody move.

On September 18th, two armed men robbed a bank in Baton Rouge, Louisiana,

escaping with $49 ,800.

Their use of wigs and sunglasses as disguises was similar to a method of

operation used in a series of robberies which were already under investigation

by the FBI.

Inspector Louis Erskine, who had just completed a major investigation in Baton

Rouge, immediately assumed on -the -scene supervision of the case.

Yeah, I got it. Thanks.

Lou?

They found the getaway car.

It's on a dirt road about 30 miles from here.

Just off the highway to New Orleans.

There's another bloodstain on the back of the seat, Inspector.

Any latents?

Yes, sir. On the rearview mirror, the door of the glove compartment.

And this wig was found stuffed in the back seat.

Looks like a few strands of his own hair caught in the lining.

All right, get all this evidence back to the lab right away.

Agents interviewed the bank guard in the hospital.

How is he?

Well, he's out of danger now, but he wasn't able to add anything to the

descriptions given us by the other bank personnel.

Well, the descriptions we have are pretty complete.

Bill, alert all medical facilities to be on the lookout for a patient with a

gunshot wound. Yes, sir.

Are you killing? What do you say?

Not much, Harry.

If you get a chance to talk to Della, you know about getting me some action.

Take it easy, Harry.

Hello, Della.

Kelly. Hiya, Della.

Harry, what do you want?

I was just asking Kelly if maybe there was a chance you could put me on a job

pretty soon. Sorry, but I'll let you know when to get something.

Okay, don't forget about me.

I was worried sick. I heard on the news there was a shooting.

I'm fine, Bella, fine.

Not a scratch.

It was a kid that got hit.

How bad is he?

Not bad. He just got grazed on the side.

He'll live.

Where is he?

I don't know.

I gave him a split and told him to get lost.

Why did you do that?

You know they'll be looking for somebody with a bullet wound.

I know.

That's why I figured you wouldn't want him hanging around here.

Well, it's better than having him run around loose.

Well, he didn't want any help from us. He just wanted out.

Well, there's nothing we can do about it now.

I'm sorry you had trouble.

Was there something wrong with the way I laid it out?

Oh, no.

Baby, the layout was fine. That guard came in late just like you said he

But if that was Eddie, he was late.

We ran into the guard on the way out.

It's low, Della. Can I come in?

Here's the rents from the Orange Street Apartments, Della.

There's a load inside on who's late this month.

All right, we'll check it out later.

Great. Thanks.

Della?

While you're collecting, here's your split from the bank job.

to count it?

I trust you.

Trust me?

You always count it out twice, right down to the last nickel.

Hey, what is this?

You got so much stash to weigh someplace you don't care anymore?

You got better things to worry about, Kelly.

Like Eddie Talbot running around with a bullet wound.

And I'm telling you to forget him.

I wish I could forget him.

I wish I could forget all of them.

All the talent I've set out on jobs.

All the cheap little nothings who think holding a gun in their hand makes them

big men.

Hey, something's bothering you.

I know.

Kelly, I'm fed up.

Fed up?

What with?

Everything.

tricking people into giving information, like that poor old bank guard you hit

this morning, fencing the stuff you steal off the docks.

I've had it, Kelly.

It's time to get out.

Now, look, you don't mean that.

What you need is a little time off.

Why don't you go someplace for the weekend?

You must be reading my mind.

I am going away this weekend.

Yes.

Ah.

200 miles north, huh? Gonna visit that sweetheart of yours.

It's been too long.

I want to see the doc.

May I ask what it's about? Janice, will you get me the lab report on Mrs.

Kingman, please?

Yes, doctor. This gentleman would like to see you.

Doc, I'm bleeding.

Right this way.

And would you call this prescription into the pharmacy?

Get me the FBI.

You're very fortunate, young man, that that laceration didn't go any deeper.

Where are you going?

To get suturing material.

I'm curious about something, Doc.

What's that?

Why you're not curious about something.

I mean, you're supposed to ask a lot of questions about gunshot wounds.

You didn't even ask me how it happened.

I was going to as soon as I took care of it.

Well, that's what I call a dedicated healer.

Or maybe you already know how it happened.

What do you mean?

I mean maybe somebody told you to look out for me.

And maybe that prescription you gave that nurse in there said call the

I guess I shouldn't have panicked, but I couldn't help it.

How serious was his wound, Doctor? Oh, not very. He lost a little blood, but

enough to do more than make him lightheaded.

No internal injuries at all, just a deep surface laceration.

While you were treating him, did you notice any distinguishing marks or

Yes.

He had a small tattoo on the inside of his left arm.

Can you describe it?

Oh, just some letters.

R... E -D -D -I -E.

It might have been a nickname of some kind.

Like this?

That's right.

Is this the glass you dragged on him?

Yes, I gave him something to relax him.

I guess I didn't give him enough.

But is it bigger than this one?

How big is your restaurant in New Orleans?

It's big enough.

But why all of a sudden interest in the restaurant?

I've never seen it.

You always said I could one day.

Cindy, I think you better tell me what's going on.

Well, the girls in my class are going on a field trip to New Orleans next week.

And, well, I was going to ask the teacher if we could all go to your

for lunch.

Wouldn't that be cool?

I'm sorry, Cindy, but it's out of the question.

But... But why?

Well, you're not old enough for Burbank Street.

Anyway, it doesn't matter about the restaurant because I'm not going to be

working there much longer.

Why?

I'm thinking of retiring.

You mean it?

That means we'll be together all the time.

That's right, honey.

You'll be glad you're retired.

Oh, I know I will.

But in the meantime, let's plan what you want to do for the rest of the day.

Okay.

First thing, there's Mr. Walden.

Mr. Walden, Mr. Walden.

Cindy. It's all right, Mom. I made him at school this morning. Hello, Cindy.

This is a nice surprise seeing you again.

Mr. Walden, this is my mother, Mrs. Murat.

Mr. Walden.

It's nice to meet you.

You have a very charming daughter.

Thank you.

Mr. Walden says he has a daughter, too.

Just my age.

He's going to enroll her in St. John's.

I bet she'll be in my class.

How nice.

Yes, my company just transferred me to New Orleans. I wanted to find the best

school possible.

Oh, well, you can't do better than St. John's.

Cindy convinced me of that. She showed me around the school this morning.

Cindy can be very convincing.

Is your family already with you?

My daughter's in San Diego.

With her mother?

No. Mother and I divorced.

One of those things.

Were you two going out to the boats?

Well, Cindy'd like to, but neither one of us sail, and there was a serious

accident last year.

Well, if you'd like, I could take you out. I promise you, you'd be safe.

Mom, please.

Thanks, but I'd rather not impose any time, Mr. Walden.

I've got plenty of time.

I'd feel a lot more comfortable if you called me Craig.

My mother's name is Della.

Well, then maybe she won't mind if I call her that.

Telephone call for Mrs. Marat.

Mom, that's for you.

Well, there's a phone over there. Will you excuse me?

Cindy, have you ever been on a cell phone?

No, I haven't.

Well, then you're in for a real treat.

Yes, this is Mrs. Marat.

Kelly, why are you calling?

No, he said he wouldn't be at the club this weekend.

All right, I guess I'd better.

Yeah, I'll be back as soon as I can.

Mom, Mr. Warren said he'd teach me how to steer the boat.

Sort of a busman's holiday.

I'm a marine engineer.

We can go, can't we?

Well, honey, I'm afraid there isn't going to be time.

Why not?

I hope that wasn't bad news.

Well, in a way, that was my partner. There's a business emergency.

I have to start back from New Orleans.

Now?

But you said you're going to spend the whole day with me.

Honey, I know it's a disappointment, but... I don't care.

Really, I don't care at all.

Cindy, I'm sorry. Leave me alone.

Cindy?

I must apologize. Cindy doesn't need it.

Cindy. No, please let me go.

Cindy, I know exactly how you feel.

I've seen disappointment on my little girl's face, too.

There just doesn't seem to be enough time for either of us.

I'm sure your mother feels the same way, too.

How about it? Shall I pull you in?

I hope you try and talk your mom into staying a while for both of us.

Oh, Mom, I'm sorry.

No, baby, I'm sorry. It's all my fault.

Look, I won't go back now.

I'll stay here with you all day, just like we planned.

Thank you.

I think we both like to go sailing with you very much.

It's for you, Inspector. Mr. Ward.

Put it on the speaker, Ken.

Yes, Arthur.

We have a positive identification on your wounded suspect, Lewis.

Reddy is a known nickname of Edward Ramsey Talbert.

We matched his fingerprint record with the latents from the getaway car and the

medicine glass.

He's known to have lived for several years in the New Orleans area.

He might have friends here willing to help him.

That's possible, but we haven't come up with anything on them.

I'm sending along Talbert's photograph and identification record.

All right, Arthur. I'll let you know if anything develops.

I changed my mind, Kelly. Cindy was so upset about my leaving that I decided to

stay on.

Of course, Stella. I understand.

But I wish you'd have told me.

Because this guy from the cargo company stayed around half the night asking for

you.

He couldn't wait to tell you about all those goodies he's got sitting in that

warehouse.

But Della, he was really mad when you didn't show up.

Well, I don't care, Kelly.

I told you I'm through with the whole scene. I meant it then and I mean it

All right, I won't argue with you.

But what's one more heist?

No, Kelly, not one more heist.

All right, all right. I'm sorry I called up and put a crimp in your weekend.

You didn't, Kelly.

I decided not to let you.

I just happened to be in the neighborhood.

I thought I'd drop in.

Oh, come on. Come on in.

Thank you.

You have a beautiful home.

You don't believe me, do you?

That you just happened to be in the neighborhood?

No, I don't.

I didn't think you would.

I was just having some coffee. Would you like some?

No, thanks.

Actually, I was in the city looking for an apartment.

Thank you.

I just thought I'd stop by and say hello.

So how did you find my address?

Oh, Cindy.

She seems quite taken with you.

Well, I'm quite taken with her.

In fact, I find both of them are out lady. Very charming company.

Craig, you're a very nice man, and we spent a lovely afternoon together

yesterday.

But you really aren't interested in romance.

Is that what you're trying to say?

More or less.

Well, you get right to the point. I like that.

Suppose I told you that I wasn't looking for any romance either.

Well, I guess I'd like to know what you were looking for.

I'm not exactly sure.

Della, remember my telling you my wife wouldn't join me here?

That's because she walked out on us.

After almost 15 years of marriage, she simply met someone else and walked out.

That's a liberated woman for you.

It hurt.

And it still does.

In fact, I've been telling myself I never wanted to know another woman

But yesterday, I started questioning myself about that.

So what's wrong with having dinner every now and then?

Or getting together with our kids while we get to know each other a little

better?

There's nothing wrong with it.

It's just my life is pretty full. I'm what they call a career woman, and I'd

rather not complicate things any further.

Cindy told me she was four when her father died.

That's right.

That makes it eight years of being a career woman and trying to lead an

uncomplicated life.

It hasn't been too bad.

I've had Cindy to keep me from being too lonely.

When was the last time Cindy asked you out to a nightclub?

All right.

I admit it might be nice to have a man in my life.

Excuse me, Craig. I'll be right back.

Sure.

Hiya, Della. What are you doing here?

Well, you said maybe you'd find some kind of a job maybe I could come in on.

Well, who told you I could come to my home?

Kelly said you weren't going to be back at the bar until later. I thought I'd...

Well, just think again, Harry, because nobody from that place, nobody ever

to my home. You understand?

Be so bold and nothing a little creep like you. I'm sorry, Della. I just

thinking. All right, then shove off. And don't ever see your face here again or

I'll have Kelly lose you for good. Okay. Get going. Okay.

You all right?

You look upset.

Do I?

It's not important.

Are you sure about that?

Why don't you ask me?

Craig, I don't think your coming here was such a good idea.

I think it's the best one I've had in a long time.

Inspector, the informant says that Eddie Talbert is hiding out in one of those

stables over there.

Let's find out.

Joe and Fred, you go in from over there.

Inspector, I suggest you and Tom go in from that direction.

But he doesn't know enough to tip over the operation, Della.

I told you, the guy knows my name is Kelly and that's all he knows.

I'm sitting tight.

Well, you do that, but I'm getting out as of now.

Hey, what's happened to you?

You wouldn't understand.

Hey, wait a second.

Don't tell me you got yourself hung up on some square jar.

Oh, that'll do the day.

Well, what if I have?

What if I told you that I... Found somebody who was nice and gentle and

afraid of doing an honest day's work. What would you say to that?

I don't know.

Wish you luck, I guess.

But I'd be kind of sorry, too.

Because I was hoping you'd come around to my wedding.

Trouble is, Kelly, you're in the wrong business.

Anyway, one thing for sure.

Delamarotte is closing up shop.

What about your athlete club?

You interested?

I don't think I'd like working with somebody else.

$75 ,000.

Sounds fair.

I'll have to raise the money.

If you're thinking of another job, Kelly, it isn't a good time.

You let me worry about that.

Whatever it is you're looking for.

Thanks, Kelly.

Look, yeah.

He told me his name was Kelly.

I don't even know if he's telling me the truth.

All I know... Wait a minute.

That's him.

Baton Rouge witnesses and identify him.

You know where Kelly is?

I told you, I don't know anything.

How'd you meet him?

That's a long story.

You've got lots of time.

Well, I did a stretch in state prison.

I got real tight with this con.

And... He told me if I ever needed any heavy action in the New Orleans area...

You're mumbling, Eddie.

He said if I ever needed any heavy action in the New Orleans area to go to

Delta Hotel and ask for a guy named Jack and order a certain drink.

What kind of drink?

That's something weird. It was called a Blue Delta Special.

I don't know what was in it because I never got it.

You're mumbling again.

I said, I don't know what was in it because I never got it. I ordered it and

he... Some guy started asking me a bunch of questions.

What kind of questions?

Oh, usual stuff.

What are my qualifications?

Do I drive a car?

Do I use a gun?

Usual stuff.

I guess I answered him right because... Next thing I knew, he introduced me to

Kelly.

And then we're off the races.

What'll it be?

Are you Jack?

That's right.

I'd like a blue Delta Special.

Never heard of it.

Haven't you, Jack?

Maybe I've got a friend who can help us. Sit tight.

Witnesses at the Baton Rouge Bank positively identified the photograph of

Michael Kelly.

The U .S. attorney authorized him. We now have a warrant for his arrest.

Better order some lunch or he may be here a while.

Where?

Pinball machine.

It's all in the way you released the ball.

Jack said you ordered a blue Delta Special.

That's right.

Done any time?

Four years in Houston for armed robbery.

Got picked up the first time, huh?

I had a lot of good scores before I was busted in Don't Get Smart.

All right.

Good with a gun?

Sure.

But if you have the job laid out right, I wouldn't have to be, would I?

I might have something for you. I'll let you know.

Why don't you let me know now?

I got to check it out with the boss on what she says goes.

You got some games to play on.

Stick around.

That's right, Lou. Sell everything I own.

I don't want any strings tying me to New Orleans. You understand?

Listen, I have to go. There's someone at the door.

Keep me informed.

So long, Lou.

Something wrong?

I have to cancel our date for this evening.

Oh, that's no big deal, Craig. Well, I have to stay out of the night.

What is something wrong? What happened?

My company wants me to take over a division in our main shipyard.

It's a fine promotion.

Well, aren't you going to say anything?

Oh, that's wonderful.

It could be.

If you'd come with me.

What?

What did you say?

Tell her.

Listen to me.

This may sound crazy and impetuous, whatever else you want to call it.

You're the best thing that ever happened to me.

I don't want to lose you.

Not now.

Or ever.

Come with me tonight.

It's too soon, Gray. It's too sudden. What difference does time make?

I know how I feel about you.

If you only feel half as much about me.

What have we got to lose?

Just our loneliness.

Della, I love you.

I'm asking you to marry me.

We're probably both out of our minds, but...

Yes, Craig.

I'd like to marry you very much.

Oh, darling.

Listen, do you think he could be ready to leave this evening? We'll pick Cindy

up at her school.

Well, I have to go by the bank and get something out of my safety deposit box.

Well, I've got things to do myself. I'll meet you back here at the house at 10 o

'clock tonight. Darling, I'm sorry I have to rush you like this.

Oh, Craig.

You're not rushing me.

In some ways, it's as though I've been preparing for this day.

Preparing for a long, long time.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Come on.

This is him.

Dave, say hello to Joe.

Yeah.

Okay, Lou, get lost.

Sure thing.

Tell him to move in.

Units on the special, move in.

What did he tell you?

Just that you were looking for a partner, kid.

Well, he shouldn't be so loose with his mouth.

They also mentioned a woman, but I didn't catch her name.

What are you getting at?

Well, it would be nice to know who you're really working for.

Hey, what is this? Who are you?

If I tell you, I'll arrest you.

Put your hands on the court.

Who's the woman, Kelly?

Huh?

Who is it that plans the robberies?

What woman?

What? Robberies.

We already have Eddie Talbot on the Baton Rouge job.

Eddie Talbot. Eddie Talbot.

I don't know any Eddie Talbot.

All right, Dubbin.

You understand you have the right to remain silent.

That anything you say can be used against you, and you have the right to

attorney, if you wish. Yeah, that's okay. That's fine.

Look, I'm just a bookkeeper. I didn't have anything to do with any of the

stuff they pulled.

I was just a golfer.

Uh, the errand boy.

Who did you run errands for besides Kelly?

We already know there's a woman behind the operation.

Who is she?

We'll find out one way or another.

It's Della.

Della Morant.

Her and Kelly are partners.

It's like you said, you find out one way or another.

Where did you see her last?

I don't know. I guess she's at her house getting ready to leave town.

She's been selling out everything the last couple of days. I guess maybe she

this was coming.

Where is her house?

101 -79 Magnolia.

It's liable to be after midnight by the time we get up to your school, but I

just spoke to the dean of girls and she said...

And we're going to live in Seattle?

Oh, Mom, that's great.

And you know something?

I think Mr. Wallen's going to make a super new father.

Then you better get started packing.

Just bring what you'll need for the next few days, and we'll have the schools

and the rest of your things.

All right. I'll be waiting when you get here, for the both of you.

Oh, how neat.

Goodbye. We'll see you later.

Bye, Mom.

Is this where the bus leaves for Seattle? This is the place. You want to

ticket?

Oh, I'm afraid we're going to have to break this up. You've got to get your

things in the car.

Well, I brought the small ones downstairs, but I left the big ones

you to bring down.

Harry, what are you doing here?

Hiya, Bella.

Bet you're surprised to see me.

Don't come any further.

Craig! Come down here, quick!

I just came to say goodbye, Della.

Get your hands up, Harry.

Sure.

Just be careful with that thing, Della.

What's going on?

Who's he?

I caught him breaking in.

Call the police.

You better let me have that.

I'll call my partner. I'll explain it to you later.

Over here.

Not you, Craig.

Oh, please, not you.

I'm afraid I can't take credit for all of it.

Harry made the setup.

I trusted you.

For the first time, I believed in somebody.

Well, we all make mistakes.

What are you going to do with me?

What do you think we should do if you don't?

Hey.

there's got to be someone around

Drop the knife Put your hands behind your head

Mrs. Murat?

I think that's my daughter.

May I please answer it?

Hello? Hello, Mom.

Hello, Cindy.

I'm sorry to be a pest, but I just want to know if you've started yet.

No, sweetheart.

No, I haven't.

There's been a change in plans.

I won't be picking you up tonight after all.

Why?

Cindy.

Darling. You're going to hear things about me.

Things that you won't understand.

Remember, no matter what you hear, remember I love you.

Darling, your mother loves you very much.

More than anything in the world.

I don't understand.

I'm so sorry, Cindy.

Della Maroc, David Michael Kelly, Edward Talbert, and Lou Dubbins were tried and

convicted in federal court of conspiracy, bank robbery, and receiving

property.

Greg Walden, Harry Peel, Kelly, Talbert, and Dubbins were also found guilty of

assaulting federal officers.

Walden and Peel were tried in state court for attempted murder and armed

robbery.
