Tonight's episode, Terror on a Quiet
Afternoon.

Hi, Daddy. I was going to call you right
before I went to bed.

How is it up there in the... What does
the TV weatherman call it? The high

desert? Low desert, high desert. All
hospitals are the same.

Jails. And if you don't get up here as
soon with my medical records, I'm going

to go stir crazy.

You're going to have to stay there for
at least a couple more weeks, so you

might as well just hang in there.

I'll be up Saturday with your records,
okay?

What's all that racket I hear? Are you
babysitting that dog again?

No, man. Mrs. Roberts is a little hard
of hearing, and obviously her little

poodle is on the loose for the umpteenth
time.

Look, I'll see you Saturday, okay?

Okay. Love you.

I love you, too.

Bye.

Don't do this to me.

I'm not going to play with you anymore.
It's too dark in here.

God,

you again.

Sure, it's me.

Who else loves you enough to lead a
dog's life?

You!

Amy, you are fantastic.

Get away from me!

Take it easy.

Take it easy.

I was just trying to get your attention.
I didn't think you'd get this scared.

You didn't think I'd... Then you're out
of your mind and you ought to be locked

up. Oh, Amy.

Don't, Amy, me.

What do I have to do to make you stay
away from me, huh?

What? Just get off your high horse and
start going out with me.

Hey, I'm not that much of an ogre.

You're worse than that. And if you don't
leave me alone, I'm going to go to the

police again.

You don't want to go through that
embarrassment again, do you?

They're just going to say what they said
the first time.

The police have no jurisdiction in the
affairs of the heart.

Then I'll do something myself.

I'll do something terrible if you don't
leave me alone.

Like what?

Kill me?

You want to kill me?

All right.

Here.

Here. Come on. Cut me right along here.
I'll prove to you how much I love you.

Come on. If it makes you happy, right
along here. Come on. Come on. Do it.

Parting is such sweet sorrow.

But I'll see you in the bank tomorrow.

You've got to shake a leg,

Betty. That court convenes in 30
minutes.

Right. Thank heavens it's Friday so that
we can have the weekend to finish up

the paperwork before the case resumes on
Monday.

Did I think you'd get that report
finished by Monday? No problem at all,

Barnaby. I just wish I was going with
you, you know? I could, uh...

Try out some of the new angles I've been
learning in law school.

Well, from my experience in court, I've
found that it's better to just show up

with facts and let the lawyers trip over
the angles.

Well, may we help you?

I was hoping to speak to someone about a
problem I've got.

And your name is?

Amy Vickers.

Well, Miss Vickers, we're due in court
in 30 minutes. I'm sorry, but what was

the nature of the problem?

There's a man who's been hounding me.

Won't let me alone.

Have you been to the police?

They say there's nothing they can do to
help me until he actually breaks the law

and I can prove it.

Well, I'm sorry that we're in such a
hurry.

Why don't you talk to my associate,
Jedediah Jones? He has a peculiar way of

coming up with helpful angles.

Would you like to sit down?

Okay.

Now, what's it all about?

His name's Mitchell Grady II.

You know the Grady Construction Company?

That's his financial statement and his
life history.

Where did you get this?

He gave them to me the first day I met
him at the bank where I'm a teller.

You mean he just gave you his financial
statement?

Yes, he was waiting for me after work
one day.

And he said he wanted to know all about
me and he wanted me to know all about

him. Well, what did you say to that?

Well, we had a cup of coffee, and I
realized that was a mistake, so I tried

discourage him, but he just laughed and
said that he had made up his mind to

share my life, and he has ever since.

Are you sure you want him to stop?

Sorry I bothered you. No, wait a minute.
Wait a minute. Look, look.

There is very little I know about you
except that you're a pretty lady with

eyes. I mean, I have to know exactly
where you're coming from before I'm

to help you, you understand?

I guess I don't blame you for that.

Sometimes I don't even think it's
happening to myself.

My phone rings every morning to remind
me that it is.

And I go to the window and look out and
he's across the street.

Calling me from a phone in his car.

And I just want to crawl back in bed and
stay there.

Because I know wherever I go, he's going
to be there.

Watching and listening.

And talking to me.

Almost touching me.

Okay, I get the picture.

Does he send you letters?

He used to and gives to.

But I sent him back all unopened, so he
finally stopped.

That's too bad, because it's a very
strong foundation for a civil suit.

I can't wait for a lawsuit.

Well, you may have to. But in the
meantime, I think we can try a more

approach.

I'm going to be a while if you guys have
anything you want to do.

It's okay, Mitch. We'll keep on tapping.

Morning,

10, 5.

Have a good day.

Afraid I was unable to prepare my
deposit, Miss Vickers.

As you know, I was out rather late last
night.

Please don't do this to me.

Do? Do what? This is what banks do,
isn't it? Taking deposits?

Are you telling me you want me to take
my money to a different bank? No.

No, that's fine.

My business here is going to take some
time. I suggest that you try another

window.

Now, I'm just trying to be helpful.

I'd hate to see you lose your job again.

Though, while we're talking, I thought
that maybe you could be busy counting my

money.

Now, you just listen.

Because what I'm going to tell you is
going to change your life.

Up until now, it has been strictly one
way between us. All give and no take.

Then, last night, when I saw you in that
hallway...

wearing that nightgown.

Stop it.

I realized how easy it would be to stop
giving and just take.

Please, get away from me, please.

Everything all right, Mr. Grady?

Oh, yeah, I was just apologizing to Miss
Vickers for not having my deposit

tallied. Nonsense.

There's nothing the bank likes more than
counting its customers' money.

Have you had a chance to take a look at
that real estate proposal I gave you

yesterday? No, I haven't laid a glove on
it yet, but I'll try to get to it this

weekend. Now, hurry.

Now, as I was saying, up until now, it
has been all tease and no please.

But that's going to change next time I
get you a loan.

Your total deposit comes to $1 ,215 .30.

That's funny.

It's not what I got.

You said you hadn't counted it.

I'm sorry, but you're just going to have
to count it over again.

I guess I lost track when your employer
was talking to me.

Now, as I was saying, just picture the

two of us.

You and me, up in my cabin.

You could be wearing that nightgown that
you had on last night.

I'm going to be doing this.

Come on, now.

Louise, you're going to have to take
care of him.

I'm sorry, Mr. Taylor. I'm not feeling
very well.

Look, I'm in a hurry. You just mail me
the receipt, okay?

Amy!

What did he say to you?

I can't repeat it.

Not bad, huh?

Can't you do something?

Amy, we need... proof and we need
witnesses look we'll figure something

she go to the park again jack mitts you
ought to be up

to here trucking around after her why
don't you dump her why don't you clean

your fingernails kurt so at least people
won't know you're a mechanic until you

open your mouth

You better start making some points with
Mitch.

You're going to be back greasing
bulldozers at Grady Construction.

Yeah, at least I can earn a buck if I
have to.

You never done anything but wash out of
school and leech off of Mitch.

My friend wouldn't have it any other
way.

Mm -hmm.

He sees you. What do we do now?

I think maybe it's time I talk to him.

Who is he? What's he doing here?

Name is J .R. Jones.

I'm with the Jones Investigative Agency.
I think you should know that Miss

Vickers is planning to file a civil suit
for an injunction against you.

Yeah, I suppose that's your idea.

Yeah, yeah, that's my idea. And in the
meantime, if you bother her again, I'll

definitely put a stop to it. So why
don't you just bug off?

Stay away from this Vickers, Grady.

Before there's real trouble. Come on.

Hey, Charlie.

What happened?

Who's he?

He is some sort of private detective.

J .R. Jones.

Want us to get him? No, no, no.

Not now.

I will pick the time and I will pick the
place.

You know, Barnaby keeps telling me
there's more to do on a Saturday than

till noon. I think he's right.

Yeah, is he going to understand about
yesterday, spending all day as a

bodyguard?

Well, he ought to. He's seen the body.

Look, I don't want you to waste your
whole Saturday running family errands

little old me.

Objection overruled.

I'm going to be perfectly all right.

I will lock the car and roll up the
windows, and I'll be home before dark.

Motion denied.

On what ground? I don't have any plans
today. I have nothing to do except a

report I can finish for Barnaby tomorrow
morning. I like being with you, you

know.

Nice try.

Now what's the real reason?

All right.

There's this restaurant, you know, this
terrific little restaurant on the way to

Santa Carlita, and Barnaby and I always
hit it on the way up there, and I'm

starving. Come on, what do you say?
Okay.

Thanks. I can't tell you how nice it is
to walk out here and not see Grady

waiting to follow me. Yeah, well, don't
thank me yet.

I mean, I know it's good news he didn't
show up last night or this morning, but

I think it's too soon to write him off,
you know.

Hey.

Amy, where are you going? The barbecue's
about to start.

You don't have to bring anything, just
your, uh, foxy friend.

Oh, sorry, Linda, but J .R.'s driving me
up to take some medical records to my

dad.

But you still have to eat lunch.

Well, listen, how about a rain check?
Because we just have enough time to stop

and eat on the way, okay?

Sounds cozy.

Well, say hi to your dad for me. See ya.

Bye.

Operator, go ahead on that call, please.

Grady residence.

Yeah?

What's he look like?

It's that private eye you tangled with
yesterday.

Looks like they're heading for the
freeway.

Follow them, Felix.

We're going to be heading out to join
you.

Check. We'll phone you for directions as
soon as we get out on the road. Oh, and

Felix, you lose them, and you can park
that rig by the side of the road and

the next bus out of town.

Sure thing, Grady.

Come on, Mr. America, let's get in gear.

office, not in the files.

Someone like Jedediah ought to take an
important piece of paper home with him.

Of course, he had no idea the client was
going to call a meeting for tomorrow

morning. As far as he knows, we don't
need the report until court convenes on

Monday.

Well, it looks as though J .R. has
decided that this is the one Saturday he

not going to sleep in.

What's the name of that young lady that
was in here yesterday?

Amy... Amy Vickers, I think she said.

There's one sure way of getting Jed and
I out of bed early on a weekend.

It's a beautiful young damsel in
distress.

Right you are.

I'll see if information has her listed.

Hello? I wonder, do I have the right
place to speak to Amy Vickers?

Yeah, you have the right place. Amy
lives here, but she's not here right

Let me have you talk to her girlfriend,
Linda Parker.

Hey, Linda, want to play 20 questions?

Hi.

Hello, this is Betty Jones of the Jones
Investigative Agency. We're looking for

Amy Vickers.

She's on her way to Santa Carlita.

Was she with an attractive, dark -haired
young man named J .R.? Yeah, that fits.

I think I'm in love with him.

Do you have any idea where they're going
once they're in Santa Carlita?

Uh, sure.

Amy's taking some medical records to her
dad.

Uh, he's in the hospital there, Midland,
I think. His name's George.

Any idea when they left?

Eleven -ish. I was just about to start
the barbecue, but they had plans to eat

someplace on the way.

Well, thank you very much. You've been
most helpful.

It's a pleasure.

I have to drive to Santa Carlita. I have
another hour for lunch.

They should be there 1 .30.

See if you can get Mr. Vickers on the
phone at the hospital.

That's going to be good enough to tell
Jedediah to call us as soon as he gets

there.

They've been in there almost an hour.

Yeah, I could use some lunch myself.

Later, when you've earned it.

Huh? Did I tell you?

Yes, well, I'm not a real big fan of
peach powder, but theirs was great.

You know, you're a terrific lunch date.
How about dinner?

Sure, when?

Tonight.

Never thought you'd ask.

How did you get interested in interior
decorating?

The houses I grew up in.

Fancy, huh?

Early basic, especially after my mother
died.

Between me and his work, my dad didn't
have too much time for thrilled.

How long till you get your degree?

One more year.

Sort of slow going when you have to work
days.

What's the matter?

Don't panic, but we've got company.

Oh, great.

I don't believe it.

I'm going to try and lose him.

That's not going to do any good.

He's a car freak. Those things have high
-powered engines.

Yeah, well, it's worth a try.

We just want to talk to you. Come on.

Hold on.

You all right?

J .R., no!

Look,

if we want action, they're going to get
it.

Come on! Come on, boys!

I think you have the freedom.

Listen, there's three of them.

I saw a cabin coming up the road over
that way someplace.

If we can get there, we can call the
police.

Please?

Please?

All right, let's go.

That works.

All right.

Call the operator.

Ask for the sheriff.

Grady stepped over the line. He's
breaking laws now.

Operator, give me the sheriff.

Looks like we really shook him up, huh?
Yeah.

Hey, can we get some lunch now? No, no,
no, no, no. Go and cut those telephone

lines before they call the police.

Oh, hey, that's right. Yeah.

Hello.

Hello?

What happened?

The deputy answered and cut me off.

in this cabin by Santa Carlita and there
are three men who are after us.

Hello?

Hello?

Cut us off.

No. The line is dead. One of Greedy's
guys got it.

before somebody gets hurt.

So what do we do now?

Anything we want to do.

Why don't we split?

If you knew anything about military
history, you'd know that the best

never retreated when they had the
advantage.

Right.

What if they got a call off to the cops
before we pulled the wire out? That

would be stupid.

If they had, our friend Jones wouldn't
be so anxious to talk.

Nah.

Can't you see?

This is the perfect place, and this is
the perfect time.

I'm scared, J

.R.

Take it easy.

What can happen on a quiet Saturday
afternoon, huh?

It's insane.

He's never going to let us go.

I'm sorry, Mr. Vickers, but we haven't
heard from him. Matter of fact, I was

hoping this call might be from Jedediah.

As I told your secretary earlier, Amy
said she'd be here at 1 .30, and it's

almost 3.

Well, maybe they stop to admire the
view. You know, young people sometimes

track of time.

Not Amy. She's very punctual, and she
knows that my doctor is here waiting for

the records that she's bringing.

I see.

The hospital called the local sheriff's
office, and there was a bad accident on

the highway about 12 .30, but it turned
out to be a truck and a motorhome.

Mr. Jones, I don't know what to do next.

Well, I think you've done all you can do
from a hospital bed.

I'll take over from here, and we'll
contact you just as soon as we locate

Oh, one other thing, Mr. Vickers.

I want you to know that Amy could not be
out with a more responsible young man

than Jedediah.

They could have had car trouble.

A long stretch of road up there with no
telephone.

What about houses?

It's cabin country.

Weekend, fishing, but not this time of
year.

Are you driving up there?

Yes, I thought I might.

There's a restaurant between here and
there, the Oak Tree Inn.

Set a dish of their peach cobbler in
front of Jedediah, and he's in hog

You're worried, aren't you?

No, I'd just like to have that paper
before the meeting tomorrow.

Call you later.

Might as well forget it. I'm not going
to leave you here alone with him.

Amy, look, we've got to play percentages
here.

If they see you get away, they'll know
you're coming back with the police.

They're not going to hang around here
chasing me.

What if they catch you?

What if it gets dark while we sit here
arguing?

I asked you first.

You know what to do.

Here goes Jones.

Get him.

Hold it, hold it, hold it. It's a trick.

He should be heading back to the car.

She's fine. Come on.

It's me.

It didn't work. I'm sorry.

It doesn't matter.

The car wouldn't start anyway.

We'd better get back to the cabin.

All right, come on.

Hold it!

All right, look.

So far, it's all been for laughs, but
the joke is over.

Now you keep this up and somebody gets
hurt, you're going to be facing prison

sentences. Maybe you're right.

So why don't you run off like a good
little boy and let me drive the lady

Nobody touches this girl.

Can't take all three of us even with a
knife.

Stay away from her.

Stay away from her.

Go on, go on.

Felix?

Get the carbine in the work rig.

There's a box of ammo there, too.

Don't mess around with the gun, Mitch.

What do you mean? He pulled a knife on
me.

Besides, he's holding a lady against her
will.

He's just trying to scare us.

I think he's succeeding.

Well, I don't want any part of this. I'm
cutting out.

You want to walk?

You're going to walk?

Well, before you leave, I want you to
leave me my clothes and my shoes and

everything else that's mine.

You're bought and paid for, Kurt.

Okay, okay.

Barnaby Jones Investigations. May I help
you?

Hello, Betty.

I'm at the restaurant.

One of the waitresses here recognized
Jedediah from his picture.

She said that he and Amy left here at 1
o 'clock.

Have you heard from Amy's father?

No, I've just talked to the doctor.
They've had no word.

And he said that the anxiety is not
helping Mr. Vickers' condition.

Oh, that's a shame.

Well, at least I've narrowed it down to
the 15 miles between here and the

hospital. Maybe when I see him, I'll
have some good news for him.

Oh, I hope so.

Please call me the minute you find them.
Yes, I will.

It's off -season up here, so if anybody
sees smoke, they'll report it to the

authorities and they'll send somebody
over to check it out.

What's the water for?

All right, watch this.

Abracadabra. Are you a magician or a
firebug?

Would you believe a Boy Scout?

Go get me a blanket.

Go get me a blanket!

Put it up in the chimney.

Come on.

They stuffed something in the fireplace.
Open that window over there.

Well, there goes our signal. Well, if
Grady saw it, maybe somebody else did.

Didn't work.

Um, Mitch?

How long... We're just gonna hang around
here. I thought we was going to the

club tonight.

Yeah, it's getting late.

Yeah, that's right.

That's right, it is the cocktail hour.

Why don't we mix one up for him?

You get me some gasoline and you get me
a bottle.

You mean you're gonna burn him out?

Ain't no way, Mitch.

What if you burn somebody up in there?

You know, Private, I was right.

You're gonna kill somebody, and I'm not
gonna be around when you do it. Look,

nobody leaves until I say so.

And don't point this at me, all right?

No.

He's breathing, but he's bleeding bad.

We got to get him to hospital, Mitch,
fast.

Yeah. How do you propose we explain this
to the police?

This and everything else that happened
here today.

Look, he might die in the hospital
anyway.

We can say it was an accident.

Yeah, what about them?

They saw it all.

Yeah, I took the call from her father.

Uh, Amy Vickers and J .R. Jones driving
a beige two -door.

I'm sorry, Mr. Jones, nothing else come
in on them.

They just disappeared.

Someplace between the oak tree inn and
the hospital.

which suggests that whatever happened to
him wasn't accidental.

I'd sure like to help you look for him,
but I can't leave the station unmanned.

We had an all -units call about 12 .30.
A big diesel took out an RV.

I've been here alone ever since.

Deputy, I'm grasping at straws, but did
you by any chance receive any strange or

somewhat unusual calls or reports during
the day? Anything even a little bit out

of line?

You get all kinds of calls.

Look for yourself.

Something you might call unusual, we
might write off as a crank call or so

Woman sounded excited.

Hung up.

What was that about?

Oh, yeah.

I had to put her on hold for a couple
minutes, and when I got back to her, she

said something about being in a cabin
near Santa Carlita and something else

about three men.

And she just hung up suddenly.

Just hung up, huh?

Here's something else in the Santa
Carlita area.

Deputy Bailey radioed 433 seeing smoke
in the Santa Carlita Pass

area. That's right.

Jay Crawford, he's the ranger from the
tower, said he kept his glasses trained

on the suspect area for about 20 minutes
and drew a blank.

False alarm.

I'd still like to talk to him.

I'm afraid you can't get him for about
an hour now. He's... Out of the tower

every day about this time, checking a
new stand of seedlings.

What was the deputy's name who reported
the smoke?

Uh, Joe Bailey.

Off duty at three.

I sure would appreciate you helping me
run him down.

The guy they shot's dead.

Oh, J .R.

That means Grady's a killer now, because
he didn't even try to get medical help.

And he knows we saw it.

Hey, Mitch, we gotta get out of here. We
gotta get far away. Another country.

You think I'm gonna spend the rest of my
life on the run when I don't have to?

All we have to do is take care of them
and we're clean.

Now go and get that cocktail.

All right,

look, don't ask questions. Just go into
the bedroom, get some blankets, bring

them to the kitchen, okay?

Now, can I ask you?

Yeah. Grady is planning a little party
for us, and we're going to put a wet

blanket on it.

Fill this up. Fill up another box. Come
on. Hurry up.

I think they're going to try and do it
again. I know it. I know it. Okay.

Calm down. Now listen.

Stay very low.

They're going to shoot at anything that
moves. Go into the bedroom.

Get me some pillows, a belt, a rope,
anything that ties. Go on.

Start putting that together.

Thank you, Deputy. And I'll get back to
you if I find out what the smoke was

about.

Can you give me a location on the Wilson
cabin?

Sure. It's about eight miles back down
the highway. I'll mark it for you on the

map.

But even if someone's up there, building
a fire in the middle of the day just

doesn't make sense.

It does if they were trying to attract
attention.

I'm finished. You think it'll work?

Well, it did for Sherlock Holmes and the
Adventure of the Empty House.

Will you be serious?

I am serious.

There's no guarantee, but there's one
way to find out.

Come on.

What took you so long?

I had to find a bottle.

All right, now look, I want you to throw
it.

Oh, no. Come on.

You want to do the shooting?

All right, then you throw it so I can be
ready when they start fighting the

fire.

Hey, it looks like our friend Jones is
getting a little bit careless.

All right, there he goes. Get ready.

Please be careful. I will.

Come on!

Grady, drop it, or I'll put this right
through you.

Don't try it, Grady. You'll never make
it.

Grady, give me the rifle, but first.

Just don't shoot. Please don't shoot.

To tell you the truth, I hope I can find
it. I'm starving.

How the two of you can think of dinner
after what you've been through today is

beyond me. I can't, Betty, but I don't
want to be alone tonight.

You ever think of retracing your steps?

All right.

Let me see. I was holding the papers in
my hand.

I was talking to Amy, and she... Oh,
those papers.

They're in the blotter here in your
desk, J .R. Oh, that's right.

You're...

I wonder why we never thought of looking
on Jedediah's desk.

Isn't that funny? That's the one place
we didn't look.

Okay, guys, give me a break.

Amy, look, I have something to tell you.
This isn't my desk. It's Barnaby's

desk. I guess I just use it to get your
attention.

Well, you've got it.

And divided.

As a matter of fact, if you don't want
me around anymore, you're going to need

court injunction.

A court injunction. Well, let's see. We
don't have any of those. How about

dinner?

Good. Huh?
