Tonight's episode, Renegades Child.

Now you should do like me.

I'm reenlisting when my fur stitch is up. Oh, yeah?

30 -year man.

Why not?

This man's army is the only steady job I ever had.

Hey, come on. I'm giving you the whole road.

All right, follow that bike. You understand?

Yeah, sure.

All right, get out.

Get your hands up.

Move.

Face this way.

If they turn around, shoot them.

Money in the bank.

Try to be a hero, damn it.

Pete,

help me!

Ridgeway, this is Transport 411. We're being hijacked.

Aliso Canyon.

Pete, get it!

He's dead.

Oh, no.

Wayne, you said nobody was going to get hurt.

You promised me.

Come on, let's start moving. What about the rest of the guns?

If he got through to anybody on that radio, this place is going to be

with cops any minute.

Meet us back at your place.

Hey, wait a minute, Wayne.

What about me?

Nothing's changed.

Our bases were covered and you didn't see what we were driving. You know the

lyrics.

A roadblock.

They didn't waste any time.

We'd be long gone if we didn't have to stop at that damn motel.

Shut up.

Identification, please.

What's up, officer?

Been a robbery.

May I have a look in the back, Mr. Lockwood?

Sure.

The kid's got a cold, so don't wake him up, okay?

Sorry, ma 'am.

Yeah, we're kind of pooped out.

Been up all night nursing the kid.

Sorry to bother you folks.

I hope the boy feels better.

Thank you.

Not through such dumbbells.

You're so bright.

I ought to break your head, lady.

What's the matter now?

You were supposed to tell those people at the motel to keep Jody out of the

pool. Now his cold is worse.

When it comes to this kid of yours, I can't do anything right, can I?

All right, I'll be out in a minute.

Oh, not more red tape.

Yeah, what can I tell you? It's just hard to take somebody out of prison,

it?

Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Nesbitt. I'd like you to meet our new associate in the

office, J .R. Jones.

Chicago's answer to the legal profession.

How are you?

My daughter know that I'm here?

Yeah, born to be just told her.

Now, don't worry, Mrs. Nesbitt. I'm sure everything's going to be just fine.

It's been seven years since Julie ran away from home, Betty.

Seven years trying to find her.

Didn't she phone or write in all that time?

Sometimes there would be a postcard from Taos or a commune in Arizona.

Living like a nomad with a strange young man.

I didn't even know they'd had a child until Jody was almost a year old.

Well, I tell you, trying to get a line on Wayne Lockwood has been next to

impossible.

No wonder.

Man robs a supermarket and then runs off and leaves Julie to be arrested by the

police.

How could he do that to...

The toughest part of making up is that first howdy.

Julie?

You look very nice.

Thanks for sending over the new clothes.

Is it all right?

I haven't changed much.

Except maybe I've grown up a little.

I have too.

In all these years.

Julie, I know that you had to give my address because the parole board

it.

If you'd like to stay a while with me.

I just want to come home.

You will discover, J .R., that for times like these, you should always carry an

extra supply of handkerchiefs.

Oh, I saw them on the marshmallow.

So what?

Mr. Jones, I don't know how to thank you all for finding Julie for me. Well,

since we've only brought together part of the family so far, maybe you better

save part of the thanks till we find your little grandson.

You still know Trace of Jody?

Well, we think we have a place to start in our search for Lockwood. Did you

bring the blow -ups?

Yeah, I did. I made a dozen. That's the best of them.

Do you recall when this picture was made?

About 18, 19 months ago, before the robbery and my arrest. Why?

We thought we might be able to trace Lockwood through the license plate.

You see, with only the numbers visible, the DMV can't possibly come up with the

current address.

Now try very hard, Julie.

See if you can recall the letters on the license plate.

Yeah.

Um, we'd had such tough luck with that truck. I figured the license plate said

it all.

Jinx.

J -N -X.

Griff, Mark Menforth.

Yeah, this is Wayne.

Griff there?

Wayne Lockwood.

Hey, old buddy.

How you going?

Yeah, about that merchandise.

You ready to talk some business?

That's my native tongue.

When? About an hour, okay?

Park? See you there.

Did you ever meet Lockwood?

Who?

Wayne Lockwood, you know?

No. That's good. That's good. Now, you stay out of it for now.

Okay.

I'm meeting Griff at the park in about an hour.

Then we can get some tacos or something. I'm starving.

Later.

Listen, Jody needs something for his cold.

I'm going to drop you two off at the clinic first.

Will you come on?

I gave him one of those tranks I lifted from the drugstore in Palmdale. He's all

right. You gave Jody a tranquilizer?

Well, you said he needed some rest, didn't you?

If you ever do that again, I'll kill you.

Do you understand?

Someone you know?

Me.

It's like looking at a ghost in myself seven years ago.

The flowers in your hair.

The whole bit.

We were going to make the world look like a label in a bottle of herbal

shampoo.

Takes some of the kids a long time to find their way back to reality.

You have to watch out so you don't become a cynic.

Wayne did that when he graduated from petty little rip -offs to armed robbery.

You're the guy that's asking for me? Yes, if you're the Cy Rogers that the

says that pickup truck out there is registered to.

So?

Oh, excuse me.

This is Julie Nesbitt. I'm Barnaby Jones, private investigator.

What is to investigate?

I bought that truck over nine months ago.

Yes, I know. From Wayne Lockwood.

Cy, don't you remember me?

You're Lockwood's old lady.

When you saw Wayne, was Jody with him?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Neat little kid.

Great.

I haven't seen him in a year and a half.

Where is Wayne now?

Drifting. I don't know.

Last I heard, someone saw him over in Venice maybe two, three months ago.

Who saw him?

Must have been Rudy.

Rudy Bates.

Remember Rudy? Click, click, click, always with the camera.

Everybody's going straight now like the rest of us, earning his daily

cheesecake.

Any idea where?

Different places.

He shoots for some ad agency, but don't ask me which one.

Well, that's all right. We can probably locate him with a couple of phone calls.

Thank you very much. Sure.

Bye.

Who was that?

That was Leo Shentz and Wayne's best friend.

Leo'd know where Wayne and Jody are.

I got 36 of these heavyweights and three cases of M16s.

That's a 36 and three.

Ah, and I'll give you... I'll give you $3 ,500.

Ah,

you're a friend. $4 ,000 for the lot.

Come on, man. Don't you think I know what this stuff goes for at retail?

Now, look, Wayne.

According to the news, you blew up a G .I. to get it.

You know, it kind of taints the merchandise.

Makes it a little tougher to turn over.

So don't buy.

Oh, wait, wait, wait, Wayne, Wayne, Wayne. Wait, sit down.

Come on, come on. Who said anything about not buying?

I mean, did I say that? Did you hear that?

You insult me with your four grand. It's the same thing.

Oh, all right, all right. I insulted you.

I apologize.

I'll give you five.

Okay.

Good boy.

I'll take this stuff to the same place in Chatsworth.

Time you got.

A two after one. Three o 'clock, okay.

See you there, buddy.

Keep the faith.

Daddy?

Hey, Jody.

What are you doing here, huh?

Huh?

I thought I told you to wait for me at the clinic.

I'm all better, so we didn't go to the clinic.

When I tell you to do something... Wayne, Joey doesn't have a cold. He's

got the morning sniffles.

I don't care. I don't take chances with my kid. Do you understand?

I wanted to be sure.

The clinic was jammed with all those sickies anyway.

I'm hungry, Daddy. Can I have a hamburger?

Want a hamburger, kid?

How about some french fries?

And a vanilla malt?

Okay, let's go.

Hey,

now, when we roll this time, I want you to remember, the whole idea behind this

is that even Eskimos eat bananas, right? They love bananas.

Okay? Okay.

We sure come a long way from that commune we crashed at.

Don't leave that smile in the dressing room, Foxy.

Paul. Let me know when that ice machine is ready, okay?

I'm back.

Would you like a cup of coffee?

Yes, thank you. Do you have any milk?

I think we do. Thank you.

Wayne Lockwood.

I'm supposed to have seen him where? In Venice about two or three months ago,

according to Cy Rogers.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I was shooting out on the beach then.

I only talked to him for a minute or so.

I don't know where he'd be now.

There's one other person who might know where he is. It's...

Leo Shenson.

The streak.

Yeah, I remember Leo.

He used to give me lifts on his bike.

Any idea where I might find him now? Is he staying with his folks or a

girlfriend? I was never that close to Leo.

I seem to remember that he used to crash at his father's house.

You know his father's full name?

No.

Wait.

Leo told me once that his father worked out of L .A. as a shack.

Well, if I can fall back on my railroading experience, a shack is

in charge of the freight cars and the freight train.

Right.

Hey, Wayne.

I never believed what I ran into.

See that he drinks his milk. Every drop, you hear me? And then he's back out for

a couple hours.

Can I come with you? No, son.

Leo, open the shed.

I wanted to tell you.

There's a detective been asking about you. A detective?

Not a cop.

I'm not going to believe this.

He was with Julie.

Julie? She's out?

Must have been paroled or something.

Anyhow, she's got this Jones guy helping her look for your kid.

Julie's out.

What do you know about that?

Up on Candlefoot Road off the top of Topanga Canyon.

That's out there near that hippie restaurant.

Did you check out?

Well, if there's another Shenson living in LA working for the railroad company,

the railroad union sure doesn't know about it. I think I'll take a drive out

there. Good idea.

Don't you have any studying to do?

Yeah, I do, but I gotta earn my keep, don't I?

In the state of California, to drive a nail into a saw log intended for lumber,

is that a felony or a misdemeanor?

Uh, misdemeanor.

Felony. Now, if you want to pass that bar exam, you better stay here and bone

up.

Penal code 593 little a.

He always uses that when he thinks the lawyer needs to be brought down a peg or

two.

That's it.

Okay.

Well, don't forget, old buddy. If you get any more of this stuff, give me a

call, huh?

All right.

Take it easy, Leo.

Hey, Wayne.

Hey.

You Jim Rokas?

Are you?

No Jim Rokas around here.

Oh, come on.

They told me I could score with you, man.

Hey, I'm hurting real bad.

You know what I mean.

Oh, come on, man. Try the beanery down the hill. You might find it there.

Hey!

I know one of you is... Rocus.

So empty your pockets and everything on the ground.

Look, we don't do junk, so we won't have any.

Now!

Nothing.

What's that?

It's a letter from my mother.

Hand it over.

No. No.

Oh,

man.

With this kind of bread, I could trip forever.

Oh.

shot leo's dead some junkie ripped us off for all our money those people down

there might have heard the shot first that soldier now leo two people dead and

what have we got to show for it get jody we're moving out nothing that's what

we've got absolutely nothing get jody you're a loser you know that well the

with you and the hell with nurse mating jody i've had it

Come on, Jody, we're taking off. What about Amanda?

Amanda's not going to be with us anymore.

In you go.

Are you a friend of the Shempsons?

Why, no, Ralph, Leo's father.

We attend the same church.

Good father, bad seed.

Youth happens.

Any of Leo's friends around?

You mean that... That young couple?

You have a child, a little boy?

Oh, a nice little fellow. It's a shame that a boy like that ends up with

looking after him.

When's the last time you saw them?

Well, the man and the boy, yesterday.

The woman a little while ago. I saw her heading down the hill when I come out to

see what the shooting was all about.

Oh, she's a real snippy type.

sashaying around like she was queen of the world.

Sounds like the girl I just saw.

She blonde, wearing something that looked like an undershirt with a scarf

wrapped around the middle.

That's her.

How far are you going, young lady?

As far as you want, as long as I get to San Francisco.

You know, usually when I ride with a straight, I get a lecture.

About the dangers of hitchhiking?

It is dangerous, you know.

What'd you have in mind? A little detour up in the woods?

No, a little detour down to the sheriff's office.

What?

You help me out, I may put in a good word for you.

Hey, man, what's going down?

I have to find Wayne Lockwood.

Who are you?

Private detective, hired by Jody's mother to find Jody.

Stop the car, I want to get out.

All right.

I figure the first question the sheriff is going to ask you is who killed Leo,

Wayne or you?

Wait a minute.

You were recognized.

There's a witness who saw you there about the time of the shooting.

Well, it wasn't me.

Wayne said that some guy showed up and he robbed him of all their money and

he shot Leo.

Where is Wayne now?

He split.

He took off with Jody in the van. He didn't tell me where he was going.

Can't you give me a break?

I didn't have anything to do with Leo's killing.

I think the only break you can look forward to is if I find Wayne and he

up your story.

But I swear I don't know where he took off to.

If he was tapped out by that robbery, he's going to need money. What's he been

into lately?

Ripoffs, stealing stuff, anything he could sell.

Oh.

Fence.

What's the fence's name?

Griff.

Griff something and I don't know anything else honest.

Well, that's some place to start from

I'm

gonna blow you right out of the bucket.

Let I get that five grand back. I know wait a minute. Wait a minute What's this

all about knock it off? You know exactly what it's about

Now, you wanted to hurt me.

Why? What did I do to you?

You ought to know.

You're the one that sent the gun to get the money back. Well, he killed Leo

doing it.

Killed Leo?

Yeah.

Oh, man, that's terrible.

And let me get this straight. You're blaming me for that?

Who else knew I had the money?

Oh, come on, Wayne. People are held up every day.

You see, Willie?

See what grief can do to a man?

Here's a man, he loses his friend.

And what does he do?

He strikes out at another friend.

Now believe me, Wayne, and this is from the heart, I didn't send any gun after

you.

Yeah, okay.

Maybe the hophead got lucky.

Hey, you lost it all, huh?

That's a shame.

Now, wait a minute, will you? I'll tell you what I'll do, will you?

Now, I got another important order to fill.

So I'll raise the ante 25%. How's that?

Does that prove I'm leveling with you?

I'll have to check with my inside man.

I hear from you.

Tonight.

If I can set it up, it'll go down tomorrow.

Where's Roy?

South back.

Well, you have him tell Wayne.

We find out who the source is, we eliminate the middleman.

Hey.

Want to sit up front with me?

No.

Something the matter?

Come here.

Hey, listen, we've always been straight with each other, haven't we? Right?

Now Amanda's gone, are we going to go looking for Mommy again?

I don't know.

She's been gone a long time.

I promised we'd find her someday.

Miss her a lot, huh?

Uh -huh.

Okay.

We'll see what we can do, all right?

Lieutenant Biddle, you have done it again.

Yes, John. We owe you one. All right. Bye.

The only griff the police have a file on is a suspected fence by the name of

Griffith P. Markham. He has an office in Studio City.

Can I say what he deals in?

Anything that's not nailed down.

But lately, though, he's been suspected of being in the gun trade.

Selling to foreign mercenaries, revolutionary groups, that sort of

Yeah, there's been a hijacking recently over the Palmdale area.

A soldier killed.

John mentioned that. I also got the feeling that he'd appreciate anything

might come up with on Markham.

Hey, do you think I could make a convincing mercenary colonel?

Barnaby, you're not really going to pretend to be a buyer, are you?

Well, can you think of a better way to get a close look at our Mr.

Griff?

First, I've got to set up a believable good background for the Colonel.

Who is it?

Heard you were looking for me.

So here I am. Judy.

Is he all right?

See for yourself.

He's in the van.

be paid handsomely.

Just, uh, who are your people?

You checked me out.

Let's just say that they're, uh, patriots.

Why come to me? I mean, odd goods are a little out of my line.

I thought we checked you out.

But if you insist that I got the wrong man... No, no, no.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Ah, just supposing I can get you maybe a hundred handguns, maybe five or six

crates of M16s. No, not enough. I thought that I was dealing with the big

operator. I'm going to need at least triple that amount.

Triple? You're talking about maybe $100 ,000.

First, sir.

And I'll need the goods now.

What do you mean now?

You mean today?

I'm leaving town tonight.

If I can't fill my needs with you, then I'll have to go elsewhere. I'm sorry,

but time is of the essence.

Okay, okay.

It just so happens that I got a man who might be able to lay his hands on some

merchandise in a couple of hours.

Now, if he delivers, I'll have everything you want. Maybe even more.

Sounds fine.

I'll be back at five o 'clock.

If you have the goods and it looks all right, then we'll talk money.

Fine. Don't disappoint me now.

Right.

Betty, he's coming now. I'll talk to you later.

Hear anything from Julie?

Well, Betty went to the sheriff's office and talked to Amanda, and she said that

the van Julie's mother described matches Wayne's. Yeah, that's what we figured.

How'd you do in there?

I built a fire under Markham.

If I read the smoke signals correctly, somebody's going to be ripping off a

shipment of guns somewhere today.

Yeah, well, let's hope it's Wayne.

Yeah, because I only hope to find Julie and the boy.

I passed a weapons carrier about 25 miles back. They stopped for some chow.

How long do you figure? An hour, maybe.

Look, I made it.

This is my last job.

Sure it is.

Until the next time that chick of yours wants to go to Las Vegas for the

weekend.

Don't fall asleep.

Watch for the signal.

4 .7 miles past the Baldero turnoff. On our way.

There they are.

Both of you out of there.

This side.

Face down on the ground.

Time up. Blindfold.

Down there. They're into it now.

All right, let's go.

Phone in this car. Call the sheriff. Oh, come on. Whenever you need me.

You got a license and they're carrying a gun. Until then, don't add to my worry.

All right, gentlemen.

Just turn around real carefully.

Yeah, go carefully and say hello.

Griff. I just happen to be in the neighborhood.

Don't do anything dumb.

He was yours.

It's all a little lie.

You the inside man?

From now on, you're my man.

Hold it!

Drop the gun.

The colonel.

You know, you luck a lot better without that phony eye patch.

I see you a lot better, too. Drop the guns.

Sure.

They're right where you are.

Give up, Markham.

You got no place to go.

I don't think so, Colonel.

I don't see any of your people around here.

You came alone, didn't you?

Hey, Colonel.

Where's the cop?

Looks like we got a little standoff here, doesn't it?

Until the sheriff gets here, he's on the way.

Daddy?

Daddy?

Jody, go back to your mother. Keep cool.

Keep cool. You're a dead man right now.

Jody?

Jody, Daddy's only fooling.

Leave the boy out of this, Markham.

Come on, Jody.

You're not using my boy as a shield. Don't you worry about the boy. He's not

going to get hurt.

Come on, Jody.

No!

Are you alright?

Sure.

Julie?

Yes.

Jody. He's all right.

He's in the van.

I'll get him.

No.

No, I don't want him to see me like this.

Julie?

Yes?

Do you remember?

Remember the flowers?

Yes.

flowers in our hair.

When I first met Wayne, Mr. Jones, he really was a very nice young man.

I'm sure Wayne will appreciate your telling that to Jody every chance you

Jody.
