Tonight's episode.

The Inside Man.

As soon as this is tallied, you fellas
have another pickup to make at the

arena.

I keep my mind on business, Ralph. If
those figures don't jive, Mr. Dyer's

to keep us all here till midnight.

Oh, yeah.

I guess I'd like a cup of coffee.

And don't be late tonight, Daddy. Mom's
invited the Wilsons.

You tell her I'll be there by seven.

Hi. Hi,

Miss Longacre. How are you? Oh, hi.
How's it going, Robert?

It's Ralph.

Taking a break, huh?

You get a little punchy in there
sometimes.

Industrial fatigue.

I read about it in a magazine. You gotta
be careful of that.

Oh, industrial fatigue, yeah.

Maybe you're right.

Yeah, the way I see it, counting money
all day long is like tightening the same

bolt on an assembly line.

A monotony could crack a guy up, you
know what I mean?

Sounds like maybe you ought to talk to
the boss for us about getting more

vacation time.

No, but be sure to get me down to get
this car back.

Now, everybody on their feet and put
your hands on top of your heads.

Come on.

You, come here.

Open the door.

No, put your other hand.

Back up, sweetheart.

You, fill up this bag.

With the bag.

I got to

get a cup for Kathy.

Let's get out of here.

Anybody makes a move after us, step.

Wait for me.

There's been a little change in plans,
kid.

You're going to get your cut right now.

Call the police. One of my men's doing
it. There were two of them, Mr.

Looks like Ralph stopped this one.

The money.

It's all here.

You took a terrible chance, Ralph, going
after an armed man.

You mean you did this?

He sure did.

Ralph's a real hero.

As chief of security for Longacre, it's
my job that's on the line, Marjorie.

The company's off the hook. The robbery
failed. The money's recovered.

The only one that's going to wind up
holding the bag is me.

Well, Joe... In the 30 years that we've
known each other, I've never

heard of anyone questioning your
integrity.

I don't think it's a matter of integrity
that Longacre's questioning.

It's more like my competence.

What about the police? Do they think it
was an inside job also?

They haven't labeled it as such.

But since my security people are the
only ones that are supposed to have the

cards that would open that fire door, I
can't blame them for thinking so.

You stand behind your people?

The FBI couldn't have done a better job
of screening them than I did.

They're clean.

I'd stake my career on any one of them.

I guess I have.

I take it you've accounted for all the
key cards that were issued?

Well, they're signed out when a man
comes on duty.

They're signed in when they go off.

Nevertheless, it would be a simple
matter for somebody to slip one out

the day and get a duplicate made.

Well, that's a possibility, Barnaby.

But I'm hoping that you can dig up some
information pointing away from any of my

men. What about Mr.

Longacre? Is he going to mind having a
private detective snooping around?

Frankly, yes.

But he doesn't want his board of
directors wagging a finger at him in

turns out that everybody but me has been
on the wrong track.

How about it, Barnaby?

Would you look into it?

I think you already know the answer to
that, Joe.

I'll give you a call later.

Ralph Alcott, sir.

You invited me over this afternoon?

Is it on fire?

Oh, hello.

Uh, no, it's one of those hoses.
Probably the radiator, too.

Ah, look like old Faithful there for a
minute.

Come on.

We'll take care of it later.

Here he is, Dad.

Ralph?

Ralph, I'd like you to meet my wife,
Nora.

Ralph Elka.

Very pleased to meet you, Mrs. Longacre.
Ralph, I've been looking forward to it.

I bet you've seen all the newspapers.

All about one man's courage.

It'd be nice if they could make a serum
out of it and give a shot to everybody

in the country.

Wouldn't it, though?

Well, Dad, aren't you going to tell him?

Give me a chance.

Ralph, you probably know there's been an
opening for some time now for a new

assistant to the chief accountant.

It's yours, Ralph. Dad's promoting you
for what you did.

Oh, hey, wait a minute.

That is the trouble with women. They
will never let you tell a punchline.

I'll be raising it for you, too.

There. At least I got that in.

Well, whatever it is, I'm sure you're
still being underpaid.

Look, I really didn't expect... A word
to the wise, Ralph.

Never give Martin a chance to change his
mind.

They're always ganging up on me.

Chris, maybe Ralph would like a drink
before lunch?

Oh, I'd better do something about my
car. Oh, don't worry about it. Dad, you

have someone take care of Ralph's car,
can't you? One of the hoses broke or

something. Oh, no problem.

Andy's coming over from the motor pool.
He can fix yours just as well as mine.

How about some tennis after lunch?

Seems like a nice young man, doesn't he?

It's funny. You know, he's worked for me
for over two years. I hardly ever took

notice of him before.

His name is Gully.

Leo Gully, out of Boston.

He was released six weeks ago from a
Massachusetts state penitentiary.

ADW, grand theft auto.

Is it a rap sheet or a portfolio?

Sounds like you came west looking for
greener pastures. What about the man

got away?

A witness from across the street said
she saw him jump into the back seat of a

car and take off.

Too far away to get a license number.

Back seat, and it was a driver.

Mm -hmm. It means there were at least
four in on it.

Trevor makes three. How do you figure
four?

You figure an inside man?

Probably somebody on the security force.

Now, wait a minute, John.

You don't want to back yourself into
that corner, do you?

Joe Montgomery is my friend, too.

I don't want to see him hurt, but there
is no way those two could have gotten

into that place without some inside
help.

I'm inclined to agree, but I'm also
remembering that a lot of other people

in that building besides Joe's security
force.

All right.

Only the others aren't issued key cards.

Okay, John.

If I get anything, I'll give you a call.

You know, for an ex -con only six weeks
out of the Massachusetts slammer, this

Gully character sure connected fast.

And with heavyweights yet.

Glad to see you've been paying
attention.

Well, how do you figure it?

Well, since I'm not clairvoyant, I'm
going to have to go to the streets for

information. Well, you'll have to just
point me in the right direction.

Problem is, the informant that I'm
thinking of is hard to find.

Did I ever tell you about my friend, the
professor?

told Lois she better stick her head out
of that ivory tower of hers and see

what's going on in the world.

Well, you should have heard what Lois
said.

What?

Oh, uh... Yeah, that's mine right over
there.

It's loaded with charm.

And peeling stucco.

Well, from here, all I can see is the
charm.

Inside, it's... It's even worse.

I'd ask you in, but... Well, it's been a
long day, Ralph.

A nice day.

Maybe we'd better take a night.

Yeah. I guess we just didn't meet,
didn't we?

Uh -huh.

I have been noticing you for a long
time, though.

Oh, where was I during all that?

Not noticing me.

Calling me, uh, Robert.

Robert, I'm sorry.

No, no, don't be.

I like Robert better.

Okay, Robert.

Well, thanks for the lift home and
everything.

When you get your car fixed, you can do
the same for me one day.

Well, good night.

Robert, sleep well.

Who is this?

Roy! Who is this?

Hey, I saw your picture in the paper.
You look great.

What do you want?

Another shot at killing me?

Oh, come on, pal. What happened was
strictly Gully's idea. I had nothing to

with that.

Yeah, sure.

Oh, it's the truth, Ralph. Listen.

Gully was afraid you'd crack up under
all that questioning. He deserved what

got. And on top of that, you wind up a
gold -plated hero.

So maybe it's all for the best after
all.

Hey, look, do us both a favor, okay?

Don't ever call me here again, okay?

Would you rather I call Longacre?

Or the cops?

And tell them how that side door got
opened?

What do you want?

That's better.

We're going in again.

In?

Wait a minute, that's crazy.

We'll talk about that tomorrow. I'll
call you.

Good morning, Mr. Longacre. Joe? Mr.
Longacre, this is the private

Barnaby Jones. Oh, yes, Mr. Jones. How
do you do?

I'm putting out a memo to have all of
our people cooperate in every way

possible. Well, thank you very much. In
my business, sometimes cooperation is as

good as a clue.

It's terrible to think that one of my
own people could have been involved in

this. But if that is the case, then
we've certainly got to know.

For everyone's sake.

If you heard a funny noise, that was my
pension going down the drain.

Uh, Kathy, you mind if I check the
total?

I'm really very happy for you, Ralph.

Listen, you deserve much more credit
than you've been given, pushing that

button like you did.

Ralph, see you in a minute?

Sure.

Barnaby Jones, Ralph Holcomb.

Ralph, it's my pleasure.

Heard a lot about you.

Barnaby's a private detective looking
into the robbery.

Oh, more questions.

If you don't mind.

I read the police report, but I always
like to get some of the facts myself.

There's not much I can tell you about
the robbery. I wasn't there.

To the company's great good fortune, as
it turned out.

I just came out of the lunchroom and I
looked and I saw these two masked men.

At the elevator, you said?

Yeah.

And then one of them came at me.

That's the part that puzzles me.

Why, when they had a chance for a clean
getaway, did the gully, that's the man

you shot, chase you so far out of his
way?

Because, well, because he figured I
could recognize him, I guess.

Well, how could you recognize either of
them if they had their masks on?

Oh, sure.

You're right.

They had their masks off.

Both of them?

Then you must have gotten a look at
Gully's partner. You didn't tell that to

police.

No, this Gully had his mask off, not the
other one.

Well, you've got it all sorted out,
Ralph.

Are you sure?

Look, Mr. Jones, I'll level with you.

I've been in a fog ever since this thing
happened.

They tell me I'm a hero, but the truth
is I'm not.

I hardly even remember shooting this
guy, much less the details leading up to

it.

That's understandable Ralph.

Thank you very much.

Hey, if it isn't the big hero. How's it
going, kid?

Lousy. Ever since I let you tuck me into
this mess.

It didn't take much talking, remember?

We checked you out real good before we
ever made a move on you. You said you

hated the job, you wanted to shake
loose, make a score.

Now it's all still there.

Yeah, but robbing Longacres again is
dumb.

Ralph, that's the beauty of it. They
won't be expecting us.

Us. Dolly's dead. What do you mean, us?

Easy. Nobody's asked me to do anything
different.

I already got another guy.

The only thing we've got to worry about
is when.

No, no, no. One thing I'm not going to
do. I'm not going to risk getting a hold

of another key card. Now, that's for
sure. What about hitting the loading

Before they put the money inside and
when there are no other trucks around.

For crying out loud, I don't have that
kind of information. Get it.

I trust you. I've been reading about
your promotion.

So find a way and get it.

And if I don't, what are you going to
do?

Turn me in?

Well, that works the other way around,
too, you know. Except for one thing,

Turkey. I got lots of friends and lots
of places to hide. I can keep running

forever.

But how about you?

You really want to give up this good
life you're into now?

It's nice, isn't it?

All right.

Look.

I know.

Receipts from night ball games.

Always come in late. There's one
scheduled for tomorrow night. You call

you find out the time it's due in, okay?

Okay, just get away from me.

Get out of here.

I'll be at the Ruxton Hotel room 218,
218, waiting for your call.

Did he go for it? Yeah, he'll go for it.

What are you doing here? Girl named
Kathy at the office said she saw you

this way for lunch.

And I thought that... That guy trying to
mug you or something?

No, he was just looking for directions.

Where are you headed?

Headed? I was looking for you.

It's my father's birthday tomorrow.

Mother and I are planning to surprise
him with a dinner out.

I'm sure he'll like that.

And I get to bring somebody.

I'm asking you.

Me?

Dinner? You mean tomorrow night?

Well, unless, of course, you have other
plans.

It's just family, Ralph.

I'd really like you to be there with me.

Tomorrow night, huh?

Sure, I'd love it.

Oh, terrific!

any better than that.

Well, thank you, my good man.

And do call again.

Is he born to me? I told you I could
find a professor.

He's born to me.

I've been looking forward to your visit.

How about five again, son?

You're on.

Take the pilot seat.

President, don't you know it's against
the law to gamble?

Gambling holds none of the hazards of
breaking the unwritten law against

snitching on bad dudes.

Like the late Mr.

Gully and his friends.

In some cases, snitching on bad dudes is
good for the soul as well as the

pocketbook.

If you think throwing the point will
lull me, you're mistaken.

Listen, I was weaned in pool rooms. I'm
not going to get hustled over one of

these things.

Gully and his friends.

What do you got?

Well, at the moment, only score.

For a name and address, what would it
take to overcome your understandable

repugnance? A great number of toll
calls.

If you follow Bobini.

You know, false confidence is going to
trip you up every time.

If you're asking, would I pick up the
phone bill?

I've got a couple of long ones. Would
that cover it?

Quite nicely.

And now, the rest.

when the information is forthcoming.

You know,

I'm going to tell you a little secret,
son.

Half my opponents claim they were weaned
in the pool room.

This is the age of computers.

And I thank you.

Bye -bye.

Oh, you might as well turn around and
head right back out again. That was the

professor. He come up with something?

Well, according to his sources, an ex
-con named Artie Moth connected with,

well, as he put it, a heavy dude who
sounds very much like he might be the

man in the Longacre robbery attempt.

Is there any clue to where he's staying?

Only that Moth has been seen around a
hotel, Ruxton, near Echo Park.

Let's go.

and having a little fun.

A driver's license, a Massachusetts
prison parole card, and a few dollars is

we found on the body.

Can't win them all, can you?

How come you're so interested in this
Artie Moss, anyway?

Chip, I thought it might be a new man in
that crowd that Gully ran with.

Have you checked his hotel room?

Moss isn't registered.

Manager says he's been visiting lately
with a couple in room 218, Mr.

and Mrs. Norton.

They have anything to say?

No.

Seems they hightailed it out before my
men got here.

Think they had anything to do with the
shooting?

No. A witness said she saw a man she
didn't recognize take off down the

just after it happened.

John, it might not be a bad idea to get
out an APB on the Nortons.

It could be what's left of the gang that
hit Longacre Security.

I'm heady on that one.

Already have.

I don't know. It doesn't add up. Why
would the gang have a falling out if

didn't get any money to fight over?

And if you're right about this, Barnaby,
it's also interesting that they're

still around recruiting new talent.

That makes you wonder what their plans
are.

How did you get in here?

I came to your car. It was fixed, so I
thought I'd drive it over.

My God, Ralph, what are you doing with a
gun?

It's my father's.

I just got it out of the pawn shop. I
didn't even have the money till now.

I thought you were a burglar.

You're in some kind of trouble, aren't
you?

Look, things happen.

Things, if you could, if you just turned
back the clock, you'd never get back.

What are you talking about? Will you
just tell me?

Hello? You know what I'm going to do to
you, you slob? I'm going to make oatmeal

out of your brains.

I don't care what you say to me. You
can't scare me anymore. Not anymore.

Yeah, I know. You're a hero.

So I'm going to do you a favor. You're
going to stay alive, hero, if you tell

what time they're going to make that
night money delivery.

I'm warning you. Get off my back.

I got a gun. You try anything, I'll use
it.

What are you doing? Calling my father.
You need help? No. Then please just tell

me. Let me help you. Just tell me what's
going on.

Please.

Go on back to your nice, clean, pretty
world.

I like you.

I like you very much.

You're not going to turn me away.

Did it have something to do with that
robbery you stopped?

No use.

He's going to try to kill me. Who's
going to try to kill you?

That guy that I shot Gully.

That was his partner on the phone. He
said he's going to kill me for what I

There's only one thing to do.

Go to the police right now.

What good will that do?

He knows me. He knows where I live.
Before the cops even find out who

looking for, I'll be dead.

Well, what about that private detective
my father hired, Mr. Jones?

Huh?

You're going to stay at our house
tonight?

I'll have Daddy call him first thing in
the morning.

Please.

No, Mr. Jones.

I just don't like the idea of going to
the police for protection.

I mean, how long can they protect me? It
can't last forever.

Don't worry, Ralph.

You're welcome to stay here with us as
long as it's necessary.

Puzzling.

That a thief would risk his own safety
for revenge like this.

Yeah, you would think he'd do himself a
lot more good just by cooling it

somewhere.

Maybe this gully was his relative or
something.

I think that's worth looking into, don't
you, Mr. Jones?

Yes, there's something else I want to
check out.

Bill Hummel, the security guard, is he
on duty today?

I believe so.

But you've already talked to him,
haven't you? I've talked to everybody,

left with one fact, that in addition to
Ralph, Hummel was the only other person

who was alone at the time of the
robbery.

I'd like to know more about this myself.
I'll go with you.

Ralph, you'd probably be safer in a
crowd. Why don't you come along?

There's Rob in the third car.

But I don't see the girl.

Well, Longacre's with him, too.

That's perfect.

You wait ten minutes, then you make the
call.

Hello? The Longacre residence?

Yes. This is the police dispatcher,
Dwyer Division.

Our unit has just radioed a 640 traffic
accident at Sunset...

Oh, no, an accident?

One of the victims, Martin Longacre, has
been injured and is being rushed to

Central Receiving Hospital.

He's asking for Chris.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Come on, get out of the car.

Just come on.

I'm saying it.

Dan and Barnaby, we've been over all
this ground before.

Joe, it was your idea to hire the
private detective.

Let him do his job.

Sure, Mr. Jones. I was alone.

Well, he's got a right to ask.

All right.

You figure that all this is tied in with
Bill's key card.

It's the only card I haven't been
accounted for at the time of the

Excuse me, Mr. Longacre. Your
secretary's holding a call for you. Tell

take a number. It's a man calling about
Chris.

Says it's urgent.

I'll be right back.

Excuse me.

Mr. Hummel, you said that you... Keep
your card and your jacket at all times.

Yes, sir. Right here.

It's always with me.

When you're using the washroom to clean
up, you probably take it off then.

Well, no. I usually push back my
sleeves. I never take it off except...

when? Except when I'm eating.

You weren't wearing it when you were
having lunch?

No, I never do. I don't want to get any
stains on it, you know.

Well, where do you usually keep it at
that time?

Right there on the hangar.

Will you be back to it?

It's the ball game.

Anybody could have left it.

Well, not just anybody. It would have to
be a certain anybody who made two

trips. That's right.

Second time to return the card.

Well, let me see.

Joe, you were in and out a couple of
times.

And one of the girls, I can't remember
which one.

And Ralph?

You came back to get Kathy a cup of
coffee.

Coffee for me?

Sure.

Right about at the time those guys hit
the place. Ira?

Sure.

But don't you remember?

No, not really.

But if you can't, though.

Hello? Dad.

Chris, you sound funny. Is something
wrong?

Dad, do what the men said or he's going
to hurt me.

Chris? Chris?

Longacre. You have any doubt that was
your daughter?

Who is this?

What have you done to Chris? Shut up and
listen.

Go to your vault and put $250 ,000 in a
bag.

You've got a half an hour, so that won't
give you time to mark the bills.

In a single car with the money, go north
from the freeway along the Arroyo

Canyon Road until the car is stopped.
You got that?

I can't possibly get the money all
together and drive there in half an

I'm allowing you an extra 20 minutes for
the trip, and you're not driving. I

want somebody I can recognize.

And who?

That kid whose picture's been in all the
papers. Ralph Olcott.

Him I'd recognize.

Okay?

Hey, Andy, listen. Make sure that thing
doesn't lock on me, huh?

That's okay.

You sure you're going to fit in that
truck?

Yeah, it shouldn't be any problem.

You think Grandpa caught the inside man,
huh? Sure began to look that way, but

we got no definite proof to go on.
That's the reason he's not going to know

you're in the back.

Part of me.

How many speed loads did you break
getting here? I stopped counting halfway

here. Here are your walkie -talkies.

New batteries and all.

Now, Jedediah, ground rules. No heroics.
Just keep sending locations. That's

all. You understand?

You're the boss.

Just remember that these things don't
carry very far.

I'll be within your range.

Well, Barbie, I also have a message for
you from Lieutenant Biddle. They found

latent prints at that hotel belonging to
a Roy Swain, an ex -con and parole

violator. What did this Swain serve time
for?

Armed robbery. Before that, extortion
and attempted murder.

It's all here. Now, Mr. Longacre, before
we start, I want to advise you once

again. No.

No police.

Now, the company has my personal check
for the money.

It's nobody's business but mine, and
until I get Chris back safely, the

stay out.

Your daughter comes first, that's for
sure, but the man who did the kidnapping

and the one who is threatening you,
Ralph, I believe is one and the same.

Yes, I know, but I want to go anyway.

Well, we'll try to see that nothing goes
wrong, but I'll need about three or

four minutes after you make contact.

See if you can find a way to stall him
for that long.

Okay.

We will do whatever is necessary.

Barnaby, we just stopped.

I can't see much, though.

Barnaby, there's a sawhorse blocking the
road when we turn off to the right.

That sounds like a quarry. If so, it's a
dead end.

and NJR.

Find a phone and call Lieutenant Riddle.

He must pay something for that jerk to
commit suicide over.

Well, then I'll see how much your daddy
loves you.

Okay, open the doors.

And I don't want to see anything in
there except a bag of money.

Chris, are you okay?

All right, bring it over.

I want to talk first.

About what?

You know, this is chicken feed compared
to what's still in Longacre's vault.

There's five or six million.

We could still pull it off.

How about it?

Ralph, what are you talking about?

Uh -uh.

What's in the bag will do me fine. Just
put it up there.

Okay, let her go.

I want to see it first.

It's all there.

Chris, go to the car.

You've got to be dreaming. You made a
deal. Let her go. The only trouble is

can't get up by us.

You walk right in.

Where's that ambulance anyway?

It'll be here in a minute.

But from the looks of him, I don't think
he'll even make it to the hospital.

Did you tell Chris I was just stalling
for time, like he said?

Yes, Ralph, I told her.

Ralph?

You all right, Chris?

Thanks to you?

I don't know what they told you, but I
just wanted to know.

Don't try and talk now.

I won't have another chance.

Sure you will.

You'll be out of the hospital in no
time.

I just wish we could have met before all
this.

So do I.
