Baby, you scare me.

You are?

Well, what are you afraid of, Cass?

Losing Bo?

I don't know you anymore, Marianne.

I never did.

Are you the manager?

Yeah. We're looking for Harper J.

Who wants him?

FBI.

Cass?

Now, I don't want to hurt anybody.

I just want them stones.

Uncle!

He's out!

Tonight's episode, Sweet Evil.

You know, Kelsey, that's the best weekend we had since I've been tending

you. I ain't complaining.

How much you figure we took in tonight?

That's more than $20 ,000. Man, that's not too high to take.

Well, we just dropped this little bitty bag off the night deposit box, and then

we'll sleep till noon tomorrow.

Hi.

I'm back.

I thought you said you had a date when you left.

I did, with a farmer, and it was a drag.

Anyway, the night hasn't turned itself around yet.

That sounds a little bit like an invitation.

It was meant to be.

Do we need all this company?

Good night, boys.

We just run a little errand, and then we'll have a nice old party.

You've been working yourself hard, honeypot.

You need time to relax.

I'll get us a bottle.

Just a second. I got some right here.

Yeah.

Please keep your eyes straight ahead, Mr. Waller.

You've got a .38 pointed at the side of your head.

Yeah, and you better do exactly as he says, honeybunch, because my friend's

a very short fuse.

Now, slow.

Really slow.

I want you to reach down and hand me that bag.

On the night of April 8th, a man and a woman held up the owner of a nightclub

Pine Bluff, Arkansas, taking the weekend receipts amounting to over $20 ,000 in

cash and checks.

When the victim positively identified the male assailant as Bo Parker, an FBI

Most Wanted fugitive being sought for bank robbery, the Bureau immediately

entered the case.

I should have known better, but I just can't resist a pretty face.

Did she tell you her name?

Kate Michaels.

Does this sort of thing happen often?

Too often.

Had she been in here before?

A couple of times. She was always with that guy that... What was his name?

Parker.

According to the police, you fellas are looking for him for bank robbery.

He really shot a guard?

That's right.

Well, I guess I'm pretty lucky at that.

I don't suppose she mentioned anything about herself?

Where she came from, for example?

No.

All right, Mr. Waller, thank you. Easy come, easy go. I've already kissed that

money goodbye, Inspector. I just hope you nail her.

The state police found Waller's car, Lou.

It was abandoned in a shopping center parking lot on the outskirts of Little

Rock. There were several good latents on the car mirror and, uh...

The police also report a late model light blue station wagon missing from

same lot.

They've already turned it in to the NCIC.

John, ask the Bureau to check the name Kate Michaels in the alias file.

Oh, sir, I slept so late.

How do you feel?

Oh, I feel fine.

You want me to drive?

No, I'm okay. You sure?

Yeah.

Hey, you hungry?

Yeah. Well, I'll stop up here someplace.

Where are we, anyway?

Just crossed over into Tennessee a couple of minutes back.

Wow.

On behalf of the people of Tennessee.

I welcome you to my fair state, Mr. Barkley.

Well, I can tell you I'm glad to be here.

Hey, don't you come from around here someplace?

That's right.

Sweet little old town Meridian. Boy, it sure brings back memories.

When did you ever leave?

Oh, I had big ideas, so one day when I was old enough, I just took off.

Well, I'm glad you did.

You know, I never had much of a family, just Aunt Rose.

She raised me and my baby sister.

She's a sweetheart. You'd like her.

Who, your baby sister?

Oh, yeah. And Aunt Rose.

Oh, Bo.

Bo, all of a sudden I got so homesick.

Now, wait a minute. I'm ready to snap much out of our way.

Honey, we haven't got time. Now, the more distance I put between us and Pine

Bluff, the better off we're going to be.

Fifteen minutes. Just hello and goodbye. That's all. And we're so close. And,

Bo, I just wouldn't forgive myself if I didn't see my baby sister. Uh -huh. And

while you're saying hello and goodbye to your baby sister, what am I supposed to

be doing with Aunt Flora? Aunt Rose. Trading favorite recipes?

Oh, Bo, come on. I never asked you for anything before.

And anyway, you won't be sorry.

Honest.

All right, but just for a few minutes.

Cass.

Yeah. You're something else. Did I ever tell you that?

No.

Well, I'm telling you now.

but I wasn't sure we were going to make it until the very last minute.

Let me look at you, child.

Oh, just as pretty as ever.

Oh, Aunt Rose.

Oh, Cass, you're forgetting the manners I taught you.

Aunt Rose, I want you to meet Bo, Bo Johnson.

Well, Aunt Rose, Cass has told me so much about you, I feel like I know you

already.

How are you?

Raised her and all. I'll bet she was a handful.

Oh, Cass was never any problem.

Her and her sister both just as good as gold. Where's Mary Ann?

She got herself a nice job waiting table down at that new barbecue restaurant in

town. But she ought to be home any minute now. Oh, good.

What line of business you in, Mr. Johnson?

Yeah, I'm a salesman.

Looks like you're doing right well.

Oh, I try to keep off the streets.

Listen to him. He happens to be the biggest Bond salesman in the whole

territory. I don't know.

Marianne! He's dead!

I can't believe it!

What are you doing here?

It's so good to see you.

Marianne, I want you to meet Bo. Bo Johnson.

Well, I see the cast didn't get all the good looks in the family.

Oh, Bo.

You blushing?

No, I'm not blushing.

He is such a tease.

Oh, come on, Mary. I want to show you what I did to your bedroom. You can come

touch my bedroom.

I scared you.

Aunt Rose, I want you to know that's the best dinner I've had in a month of

Sundays.

Now,

if you'll excuse me, I'll get some more coffee.

And dessert.

I hope you like pecan pie.

It just happens to be my favorite.

I'll be just a few minutes. I have the air.

Do you know what time it is?

You said we'd be here a few minutes. I feel like I've been here a month

Let's go.

Oh, Bo, don't get so antsy. We'll leave in a few minutes.

How do you like my baby sister?

Terrific. Now, could we just... Skip the pecan pie and split it. Now, now, I've

had it.

Coffee. Mary Ann.

I just can't get over it. You're just all grown up.

You got yourself a boyfriend?

Oh, I got me a few.

Let's see, there's Jimmy.

He's the usher at the only movie house we have in town.

So naturally, I get in free on Friday night.

It was for a hamburger or something.

Oh, yes. Then there's Earl. He works for his daddy's farm.

He calls me up every Saturday night when we go to the stop car races.

Oh, wow.

Do you remember those?

Do I? Oh.

Are you happy here?

Why, sure.

I'm having me the time of my life.

Really, Marianne? I mean, I want you to tell me the truth, are you?

Cass,

I am so lonely and so bored here.

I could die. Do you know what I mean?

Yeah.

How'd you like to go with it?

You're kidding.

Oh, I would.

we could take her just as far as Chicago.

Maybe she could get my old modeling job.

Cass, we have kind of a busy schedule, don't you think?

Well, right, but Marianne won't hold us up, and we'll leave right away. Oh, Bo,

please.

No, he doesn't want me to go.

Well, sure he does. Now, Bo's a sweetheart, aren't you, Bo?

kind of except for that rose.

Kate, you're the best. I'm the best sister in the world.

Um, Pat, I won't bring too much stuff.

Okay.

Thank you, Bob.

Hello, Arthur.

Lewis, we may have had some luck.

Kate Michaels is a known alias for a Cass Linden.

The identification record matched Layton's found in the stolen car with

fingerprint record.

She served time for car theft in Texas, but she's been out for nearly two years.

Next of kin listed in her prison record?

Yes, an aunt, Mrs. Rose Du Bois in Meridian, Tennessee.

Think about how to talk with her.

All right.

Go forward Lyndon's photograph and identification record to the resident

there. Lewis, Parker's also facing a murder charge now.

The guard he shot in the Dallas bank robbery died this morning.

Mary Ann, honey.

Are you sure this is what you want?

Oh, yes, Aunt Rose.

I mean, I'm really going to miss you terribly. You know that.

But it's, I mean, something I have to do.

Well, I won't stand in your way.

You're a grown -up young lady now.

I love you.

Ready, Marianne?

I think so.

She's been like my own baby all these years.

Gonna be real lonely here without her.

You'll take good care of her, won't you, Cass?

Of course I will, Aunt Rose.

I just want you to know, you're both...

Very dear to me.

Don't you worry, Aunt Rose.

Everything's going to be all right.

Now you be sure and ride, Jane. Oh, I will. I'll ride all the time. Let you

how everything's going. Good care, Marianne.

Ready.

Well, let's go.

Okay.

I'll never see this place again. It's going to be too soon.

Mrs. Du Bois?

Yes.

We're with the FBI.

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

I'm sorry to disturb you at this hour, but we'd like to speak to you for a

moment. Oh.

Well, yes, of course.

Come on in.

Thank you.

What's this about, Inspector?

Your niece, Cass Linden.

You're looking for Cass?

Do you know who she is?

Well, she left here a couple hours ago.

But why are you looking for her?

Mrs. Du Bois, I'm afraid she's wanted for armed robbery.

Oh, no.

Cass?

Are you sure?

Oh, and I let Marianne go off with her.

Oh, I never forgive myself.

Now, who's Marianne?

Oh, she's Cass's baby sister.

That's Mary Ann on the left.

It would be very helpful, Mrs. Du Bois, if we could borrow that picture.

Was there a man with him?

Yes.

Bo Johnson.

Is this the man?

Yes.

What kind of car were they driving?

New one.

Pale blue.

Station wagon?

Yes.

I think so.

I should never have let Mary Ann go.

My sister died when the girls were just babies.

And her father went to work one morning. They just never came back. And there

was no one else to take care of them.

They're all I have in the world.

Did they mention where they were going?

Yes, I think I did hear them say something about going north.

Thank you very much, Mrs. Du Bois.

I just couldn't stand in her way.

Mary Ann's 20, but she's still hardly more than a child.

She doesn't know anything about the world.

She lives such a sheltered life here.

We'll return the photograph as soon as possible. Oh, thank you.

This is Unit 7 to Control.

Go ahead, 7.

I have a Tennessee license number 91S628. Would you run a check on it

the NCIC?

10 -4.

Standby, 7.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Are you looking for the people in this car?

Do you know where they are?

Yeah, they just went up the street to the grocery store.

back there.

How about that baby sister of yours, huh, Cass?

You think that trooper will be all right, Bo?

Oh, yeah, sure. I just barely tapped him.

I didn't have time to explain. I don't know. I must have bought a hot car, Mary

Ann. If I'd tried to tell that to that trooper and he didn't believe it, I

have ended up in the pokey for something I never did do.

Is that so?

This car is hot, Bo.

And you just happened to fix the license.

Isn't that right?

What?

Gotcha.

I don't see what's so funny.

Well, that's rich.

And you thought your little baby sister was so innocent.

It's not what it seems.

You don't have to explain to me.

I know what's going on.

See, I had some friends in Meridian who told me about you serving time for

Carthage. Of course, nobody told Aunt Rose.

Is that the way it happened at all? I was framed?

Oh, come on, Cass. You don't have to explain to me.

I love you just the way you are.

We're going to make us a good team.

You and me and Bo.

We sure are a honey bunch.

Now, how about that, Cass? Don't you feel a little better?

Positively identified him? Yes, sir. A positive identification.

That's good.

I wish I could be more help to you, Inspector.

But I never even saw him.

What about her?

No. She's not the one that set me up either.

Is she in this picture?

Yeah, that's her.

Had a real sweet face.

She's the one that set me up.

You feel sure of that?

I feel positive.

But I don't know how it happened.

She's such an innocent kid.

You know what I mean?

Well, thanks very much, Earl. This helps a lot. Sure.

10 -4.

One of the waitresses at the diner remembers Parker asking for directions

Chicago.

We're going to get right out there.

Did the trooper give you anything?

It was the sister who set him up.

She used to be catching on rather quickly.

Sweetheart, we have no openings.

Nothing at all.

Business has been pretty bad.

Besides, she's too young.

How old are you, sweetheart?

Well, I'm almost 21, Mr. Dunbar.

Yeah.

Almost. Oh, come on, Nick. Give her a chance.

Cass, I'd like to. You know that. Sure.

Let's get out of here, Cass.

Look, it's late and I've got to close up, but why don't you stay?

Do you mean it, Mr. Dunbar?

Maybe we'll have dinner, see a show, and we'll talk about it, hmm?

Now,

Cass, I mean, she's your kid sister.

I'll look after her.

Thanks for nothing, Nick.

Come on, Marion.

He was old enough to be my father. What happened?

Never mind. Let's just cut out.

That crummy old man wouldn't give me a two -bit job.

Forget it, Marianne.

I got another idea.

What?

Oh, for Pete's sake, let's just get out of here.

Tell me, honey.

What's your idea?

So you changed your mind, huh?

You knew I would, didn't you?

What's this? What do you think?

The first old man.

You're going to rob me?

Oh, you want to talk about it? Get your hand behind you.

Look, maybe I was a bit hasty.

Shut up.

gun, will you? You're liable to shoot me.

Well, I was just getting the hang of it, Bo.

All right, this is Oliver.

Cass, you take the car. We'll follow you in the truck.

Hey, where do you think you're going?

I forgot something. Wait for me.

You were going to take me to dinner.

Sure you were.

That's him.

That's him, all right.

If he hadn't come back, she would have killed me, sure as I'm sitting here.

I tell you, that little girl was enjoying it. I could see it in her eyes.

I'll bet the whole thing was her idea.

By her, you mean Marianne.

Sure. If they'd wanted to rob me, they would have done it when they came up the

first time.

How long did Cass Linden work for you?

I don't know, maybe a year.

She have any friends here?

Not that I know of.

She was pretty much of a loner.

Inspector, I've been burned before, but never like this.

Mr. Dunbar will need a complete description of the furs they took.

Yeah, sure.

But why should she want to kill me? I didn't hurt her.

I heard her sister get the job here. Someone recommend her?

Now, wait a minute. There was another model.

And she told me about Cass. I think they were roommates.

Do you recall her name?

Honey.

Honey Robbins.

I didn't even know Cass was back in town.

Besides, she wouldn't call me.

Why not?

Well, we didn't exactly part on the best of terms.

You know, I got her that modeling job.

I mean, I thought we were pretty good friends until I found out she was dating

my boyfriend.

So I tossed her out.

What's his name?

Jay.

Harper J.

Can you think of anyone else that might try to get in touch with her?

No.

You know, I can't prove this, but I think she took my watch when she left.

Is that a federal crime?

I'm afraid not.

Thank you, Miss Robbins.

By the way, Miss Robbins, if she should contact you, would you please give us a

call?

Sure. Thank you.

Harper J. is a known fence here, and he's a suspect in a case we have under

investigation right now.

Where can we find him?

Well, he's got a couple of hangouts.

Well?

Do you like the furs or don't you?

Am I supposed to be impressed because you copped a couple of coats?

I don't need the kind. Just make me an offer.

Do you mind if I have one?

Go ahead.

That's it?

I'm doing you a favor.

You call this a favor?

Because you're a friend of Cass's.

Well, this doesn't cut it. I want more, a lot more.

All right, all right, all right.

If that's the best you can do.

How come Cass didn't stop there to say hello? She leaves the business end to

How is she?

She's fine.

I'm glad she called and told her not to be such a stranger.

Look, what about that truck? Don't worry about the truck. I'll have it dumped

someplace.

You going to have anything else for me, kid?

We might.

I don't think he understands you. The name's Bo.

I'm sorry, Bo.

The point I'm trying to make is, you lucked out.

I just happen to have had a buyer for the furs. If I hadn't, you wouldn't have

been able to unload.

So if you've got anything else lined up, let me know.

There's going to be a jewelry show in town.

You know the one I mean?

At the Anderson Hotel?

I'm going to hit one of the showrooms.

Well, you can pull that off.

I'm your man.

I can pull it off.

Hey, kid.

Don't forget to tell Cass.

I'm glad she remembered.

So, everything's falling into place.

One more job and we're all gonna be rich.

Hey, want some ice cream?

Sure.

Cass, do you want some ice cream? No.

You didn't ask me what I wanted.

Two scoops of vanilla.

All right.

You were going to kill him, weren't you?

Who?

You know who. Old man Dunbar.

Oh, him.

No, I was just trying to scare him.

That's not what Bo said.

Well, what's Bo, a mind reader?

Anyway, what if I was?

Baby, you scare me.

Do I?

Well, what are you afraid of, Cass?

Losing Bo?

Flavor of the month.

Oh, what do you have?

Pistachio. Let me have a taste.

Hey, wait a minute. Didn't they ever have pistachio in Tennessee?

Well, welcome to the big city.

I want Marianne to get out of here.

What? She'll go back home.

What's the matter with you anyway?

I don't want her to turn out like us.

Oh, wow.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means that she still has a chance, that she doesn't have a record.

Well, I don't want her to go back.

She's a good luck piece.

Yeah, well, our good luck piece nearly killed a man.

You think that this is all that it is, don't you, Mary Ann? Just eating ice

cream and robbing old men.

Well, it's not.

It's jail and it's waiting. It is waiting for the bondsman to post your

It is waiting for a trial.

It's just... It's just waiting your years away.

Yeah, well, there's all kinds of jails, Cass.

You ought to know that.

You got out of Meridian as fast as your legs would carry you.

Why can't you learn by my mistakes?

Because these last few days with you and Bo have been the only days in my entire

life that I feel alive.

Uh -uh.

I'm not going back to Meridian.

Don't go back. Just get out of here.

Not unless Moot tells me to go.

Look, Cass, why break up a winning combination, huh?

Everything's going to be all right.

for this lot.

Very nice.

How much for the whole lot?

$40 ,000.

That's a trifle high, don't you think?

Well, in Paris, they'll bring a fortune.

Why quibble over a few dollars?

I'll take the lot.

Ship them to my warehouse outside Paris.

Yeah. Looking for Harper J.

Who wants it?

FBI.

Very good. Very good.

Don't forget to give them the business card so they won't know what room to go

to later.

All right?

Let's get to work.

I'm taking an awful chance.

Look, buddy, don't fade on me.

We made a deal.

They have to find out those girls came from my model agency.

So what?

How are you to know they're going to rob the place? The point is, you can't

lose.

Have you got the money?

Yeah.

All right.

Okay.

Now, don't you worry about a thing. You just go on in there and enjoy yourself.

Where's Mary Ann? Mary Ann's waiting out in front. Bo, I have to talk to you. I

had to talk to you alone. We can talk later. Now it's all set. Get Mary Ann

start to work. No, now, Bo. We've got to talk now. What do you want?

Us to get out of here before it's too late. We've got plenty of time and we've

got plenty of money.

Look, I will give Mary Ann half of my share and she can go off and do what she

wants and then you and I can go off together just like it used to be. We're

close.

I'm this close to some real money.

I could be set. Now, you and Marianne settle all that later.

No. Oh, I love him, and she's come between us. Yes, I'm warning you.

Go to work and get out.

You know, Marianne would be happy to do this alone.

Valley Maintenance and Mavis Teal.

Okay, girls.

Hello. Hi.

Oh, sorry we're late.

Don't worry. The man from the jewelry company isn't here yet.

First time you girls do this kind of job?

I don't remember seeing you around. Yeah.

These are the gowns.

Hey, I think I'm going to like this.

Oh, it's not so bad.

Especially the jewelry.

And the guards keep the bars away from you, and after the show you can come and

go as you please.

Anyway, it sure beats waiting tables in Muncie.

Oh, is that where you're from?

Mm -hmm.

Say, could you sit me up in back?

Sure.

What is your name, my dear?

Mavis.

Well, Mavis, did you ever think you'd be wearing diamonds like that?

No, but I'm about to.

Don't make a sound.

You too.

Tie him up, honey.

Get down on your knees. You too, get down on your knees and put your hands

behind your back.

Ready, girls? If this has gotten you back, just move on in. You won't get

Get out.

All right, he's next.

Oh, Bo, where'd you get the rest of the stuff? I gotta get dressed.

Right.

Before you say anything, I want to advise you, you have the right to remain

silent.

Anything you say can be used against you.

You have the right to an attorney if you wish.

I know.

Who sold you the furs?

What furs?

Is that the way you want to play it? That's it.

Do you see him here?

Was he the man?

If he was, now's the time to say so.

I don't know. I'm not sure.

Was he?

The girl, Cass Linden, I used to go with her.

She put me in touch with that guy. He had the goods.

Where is he now?

They're going to pull another job, I think.

Where?

Here in town at the Anderson Hotel.

I think they're going to knock off a jeweler at the show there.

When?

This is Inspector Erskine, FBI.

Get me police headquarters, please.

That was easy.

So easy.

There must be a quarter of a million in stones in that case.

What are you doing?

I'm just keeping you in family care. But you're crazy. Don't try to kill me.

No, I won't.

Now on's just you and Anna.

A nightmare.

How can I thank you?

You'll think of something.

Bo Parker was found guilty in federal court of bank robbery and with Harper

of assaulting federal officers.

Jay was also convicted of receiving stolen property.

Parker was found guilty with Cass and Marianne Linden of various counts of

interstate car theft.

Cass, Linden, and Parker pled guilty in Arkansas State Court to armed robbery.

and with Marianne Linden and Ray Talley in Illinois State Court to similar

charges. Parker was sentenced to a life term for murder of the bank guard.
