Tonight's episode,

Hitchhike to Terror.

My name's Tony.

Hi, I'm Shelly.

Where are you heading to, Shelly?

L .A., downtown.

Well, you're in luck, beautiful mama.
I'm going to take you all the way.

So you just sit back and relax.

Fantastic.

Speaking of relaxing, I got just the
thing to help you along.

A little, uh, Panama red.

Finest grass on the side of the canal.

No, no thanks.

Hey now, don't say no till you feel the
glow.

That's right.

There you go.

Roll us a goody.

Just went through a red light.

Oh no, now you've done it.

Hang on.

All you did was run a red light! Hey,
you just shut up, you hear?

Better call it in, Alice. She's still
breathing.

Now, miss, don't move.

We've got an ambulance on the way.

Oh, it hurts.

Miss?

Look at my hand.

How many fingers am I holding up?

What? How many fingers?

Two.

All right, you understand me then?

Yes, I'm all right.

It's my duty to inform you that you have
the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can be held against you
in a court of law.

Why are you saying this?

Because I believe this contains illegal
drugs and I'm placing you under arrest.

Arrest? But it's not mine.

You'll have a chance to explain that
later.

Right now, is there anyone we can
notify?

Your mother?

No, not my mother.

Your father, then. What's his name?
Somebody will get in touch with him.

Barnaby Jones.

Barnaby Jones?

The private investigator?

Is your father?

That's what I said. Barnaby Jones.

Well, come in and tell you when you're
relieved to be here.

Yes, sir. Lieutenant, how's the young
lady?

Shelly Barrett? Have I got the name
right? Yeah.

Nothing broken. The doctor says she'll
be up and about soon.

And she claims that I'm her father?

That's her story.

says she was hitchhiking here to see you
when a young man in a van picked her up

from Redondo Beach, ran a red light,
cracked up, and then supposedly took

leaving her literally holding the bag on
a narcotics wrap.

DMV come up with the name of the
registered owner?

Well, that's where it gets stickier.
It's registered to a Stan Clay, federal

narcotics agent.

But he hadn't been heard from since he
contacted his office early this morning

about a possible bust.

Is Shelly from Redondo Beach?

San Pedro.

An elderly couple, she says, picked her
up there and dropped her in Redondo

Beach.

Before I let you talk to her, is there
anything you can tell me about all this?

John, I'm as much in the dark as you
are.

Okay, talk to you later.

Hello, Shelly. I'm Barnaby Jones.

I'll be outside.

Really, what's this about?

Damn you!

Damn you!

Now, hold on, young lady.

I don't know what your problem is with
me, but I've never seen you before in my

life.

I know.

Never.

Never in my whole life did my father
ever come to see me.

It was just some thing he made and
forgot about.

Now, wait.

First things first, you say I'm your
father, but you just didn't pick a name

of air. Why me?

Believe me, I don't like the idea of it
any more than you do.

The only reason I came to find you is
because of my mother. She needs your

not me.

Your mother?

Yes, Marie Barrett.

What'd you do, forget about her in 23
lousy nothing years?

Marie Barrett?

You're her daughter?

And yours.

You know, it's true.

Last Monday, I found the letters you
sent her. There was even a picture of

both of you holding hands.

Shelly, I don't deny that I knew Marie
Barrett. We were very good friends for a

while. Look, Dad,

you don't have to explain any of this to
me.

When you didn't show up for my first
communion, I began to get the message. I

began to understand what kind of a man
you were.

All I want for you to do is to help my
mother.

You owe us at least that much.

All right, you keep saying your mother
needs help. What kind of help does she

need? She's in a private hospital.

And she's doing good, Dr. Ashley says.

But it costs.

And if I don't come up with some more
money, they're going to junk her in some

state institution.

Where is she now?

She's in Windale Haven Sanitarium.

It's in San Pedro.

Windale?

Is she in a mental hospital?

Yes.

It's all your fault.

If you would just once, just once.

Now, Shelly.

Yes, I realize you have regular visiting
hours, but as I told you, this is

really terribly important.

Well, I do appreciate it. Thank you so
much.

Bye -bye.

Hi, Barnaby.

Oh, that was Dr. Ashley at the
sanitarium. You can visit Marie Barrett

after 1 o 'clock. Good.

How are you coming with a Conway report?

Well, here it is, Barnaby, except I'll
tell you the truth. I don't really think

the DA is going to act on Conway's
accusation against his partner unless he

makes it to a court reporter under oath.

Well, take care of it, Jedediah. I'd
like to have it with me when I meet with

the district attorney on Monday. You
bet.

The way that I feel You made it so

I'll always love you What do you mean it
couldn't be helped?

That van was registered to a federal
law. It turns out to be missing. Now,

the hell have you been up to?

It's like I'm telling you, Harry, when I
opened the bag and showed him the

stuff. He flashes a badge and pulls a
gun.

I made a grab for it and got lucky.

Went off in his belly instead of mine.

So you waste a knock.

But then to steal his van.

What could I do? I needed it to dump the
body.

Oh, that's beautiful.

Hey, Harry, wait.

He's under a pile of junk in a
construction fight outside of San Pedro.

I'm clean.

You're clean, huh?

Right.

You know, if I could just get my hands
on another pound of coke, I could...

Tony, what about that girl that you
stood with in the van?

She knows what you look like.

So what if she does?

I don't have a record.

I don't have any mug shots they can show
her.

Yeah, and they'll wear your looks,
Ronnie, and we'll have them soon enough.

And if she ever ties you in with that
van, I could just see you making a deal

pointing a finger at her.

Harry, I'd never do that.

Oh, yes, you would.

So take my advice.

Get out of town. Start a new life.

Buried. Far away.

Harry, please, don't shut me off.

I can fix it.

As long as that girl can identify you,
there's no way.

Yes, there is.

Believe me, I'll take care of it.

Don't make me beg you, Harry.

I've been one of your best dealers.

Give me a break, huh?

Tony, I've got to go south for a few
days.

When I get back...

Either you or her better be out of the
picture

Well, you said you'd have the money so
we could pick up that new western outfit

we ordered for my act, remember?

Not now.

I got something I gotta take care of
first.

Thank you.

Hello, Marie.

Hello? It's Barnaby.

Barnaby.

Oh, you always surprise me.

When I least expect you.

Let me go freshen up. No, don't do that.
You look just fine to me.

Oh, they are beautiful.

But I wish it was candy.

Lately, I seem to be hungry all the
time.

Don't tell Shelly, though. She thinks
I'm putting on weight, as it is.

I just saw Shelly. She's pretty.

Because she takes after her father.

Come, sit down. You must be tired after
a hard day.

Marie, Shelly is a very troubled girl.

I know, I know.

Barnaby, do you know what that daughter
of ours has gone and done? Do you?

She's put the house up for sale. She's
selling everything.

She's even quit college to try and get a
job.

She says we need money to help pay for
doctors. Isn't that silly?

I wish you'd have a talk with her.
Heaven knows she won't listen to me

Marie, do you remember when we last saw
each other?

Of course.

I think it was Wednesday.

It's been 23 years.

23 years.

You left Los Angeles, and for a time we
exchanged letters, and then you stopped

writing.

Remember?

I remember that you made Shelly a very
sad little girl when you didn't come to

her ninth birthday party.

Or was that her tenth?

I'm afraid I missed both of the parties.

There's nothing to feel guilty about.

Ever since Shelly was a little girl and
first started asking why you were away

so much, I've always explained to her
that private investigators are always

working on cases.

Ever since she was a little girl.

You will talk to her about not selling
the house.

Yes, I'll talk with her.

Oh, darling.

I just don't know what Shelly and I
would have done without you all these

Marie, don't worry about anything.

Everything's going to be all right.

Yeah, that's right. Shelly Barrett.

She's a cousin on my mother's side.

I understand she was brought to your
hospital, and we'd like to know how

doing. She's doing fine, but she can't
have visitors, at least not for another

few days.

I'd like to send her a little something.

What's her room number?

We're not allowed to give out that
information.

As I told you, this is a police matter.

Yeah, right.

Well, I guess it would be better if I
checked with them first.

My goodbye.

What happened?

Honey, what's the matter?

That song's getting on my nerves.

I've been learning it. The one you
wanted me to sing for the audition.

What audition?

For Mr. Wilkerson at Solitaire Records.

The audition's tomorrow, remember?

And if you keep changing the songs...
Hey, look, um... I talked to Mr.

before, and, uh...

He has to fly off to Nashville for a
couple of weeks.

One of his acts is having trouble.

Another postponement?

Yeah, well, Solitaire ain't the only
record company in town.

I've been talking to other labels, and
I'll tell you all about it tonight. Oh,

other labels? Which ones? When?

Dead.

Tonight.

Okay, get the autopsy report on my desk
as soon as the coroner's finished.

You get my message?

No. Is it Shelly? She take a turn for
the worse?

No, but the charge is against her half.

Stan Clay, narcotics agent, has been
found dead.

Where? Construction site near San Pedro.

Shot to death with a .38 caliber weapon.

You find a gun?

No. And unless Shelly tells us where she
hid it, we may never find it.

Oh, come on, Lieutenant.

You don't really believe that that girl
in there got the better of a

professional, killed him, disposed of
the body, and then drove away in his

do you?

Maybe I do and maybe I don't.

But unless she comes up with an alibi
that makes sense, it's some hotshot over

in the DA's office who will have to
decide what to believe, not me.

Mind if I talk to her again?

Hope you have better luck than me.

It's all right.

We have to stay in the room from now on,
Mr. Jones.

The lieutenant's orders.

I understand.

Oh, Shelly, I just visited your mother.

That's nice.

Your medal will arrive in the mail.

Now, see here, young lady.

I understand how you feel.

But being rude is not going to help the
situation one bit.

Is my mother going to be transferred to
a state hospital?

Or is she going to stay with Dr. Ashley?

And that's another thing we better get
straight. There is nothing wrong with a

state hospital.

For my mother, there is.

It's taken over four months for Dr.

Ashley to crack that shell she's built
around herself.

If she's transferred away from him,
she'll have to start all over again with

another doctor.

Well, you finally found something we can
agree on.

That's why I arranged for her to stay at
Windale.

You did?

At least for a while. After that, we'll
see.

I guess I'm supposed to say thank you.

Not necessarily, but the thought is
appreciated. Now, let's see how I can

you. You're a little late for that,
Daddy.

You said you were picked up in San Pedro
by an elderly couple.

Why did they let you off in Redondo?

Because they said they lived nearby.

But no one believes me. They all think
I'm a murderer.

If we find this couple, we'll be able to
prove that they're all wrong.

Swell. The guy's name was Bill, and I
didn't catch her name.

That's all I know. In your statement,
you said that they were driving a panel

station wagon, but you never mentioned
the color.

Blue, green, I don't know.

And you said that they let you off on a
corner where later you hitchhiked a ride

with this Tony fella.

It was my lucky day.

Can you give me anything that would give
me an idea which corner it is?

Park bench, bus stop, traffic lights,
they all look the same.

Why do I keep remembering donkeys and
bulls?

I know.

There was a guy in one of those corners
who was selling those paper animals.

Well, that's someplace to start.

Look, I'm sorry I laid into you like
that.

I guess things happen.

I haven't really given you a chance to
tell your side.

We'll have to talk about that later.

Well, it's a beautiful morning, Barnaby,
and driving up and down the Pacific

Coast Highway is my second favorite way
to spend it, but I don't see an animal

in sight.

Except maybe for that pretty redhead
over there.

We'll make one more path.

Barnaby, look at that.

No wonder we couldn't find it. He's just
opening up.

Well, that's one needle.

Now all we have to do is cruise up and
down this residential haystack until we

find the other one.

It is the only green panel station wagon
we've seen so far.

Barnaby.

Now, didn't Shelly tell you the man's
name was Bill?

Jedediah, I have a feeling we're on a
hot roll.

help you?

Yes, my name is Barnaby Jones.

I'm a private investigator.

This is my associate, Delediah Jones.

Oh, my.

I've never met a private investigator
before.

Have I done something wrong?

No, ma 'am. We're looking for
information about a young hitchhiker

your husband may have picked up
yesterday.

Girl named Shelly, about 23.

Oh, yes, yes. I know who you mean.

You remember her.

Well, of course. We picked up Shelly in
San Pedro.

She seemed like such a nice girl.

She isn't in any trouble, is she?

Not anymore, thank you very much.

Oh, is that all?

Don't you want to grill my husband, too?
I can wake him.

Maybe next time.

Excuse me.

I have these flowers to deliver.

Could you tell me which room Miss
Barrett is in?

Oh, I'll take them to her.

Could you see that she gets them right
away? They need to be put in water, you

know. Is there a card?

No, she'll know who they're from.

Oh.

Hornaby, I'm going to call Lieutenant
Biddle to fill him in on Shelly's alibi.

Oh, hello.

Hi, can I use your phone?

Sure, follow me.

It's a pleasure to see you feeling well
enough to be up and about again.

Hey, they're going to transfer me out of
here in a day or two, over to county

jail. I think that's one adventure
you're going to miss. We found a couple

gave you the ride.

You did?

That's great. Did they tell you I was
with them?

Yes, and just as soon as Lieutenant
Biddle sends somebody over there to see

and verifies your alibi, I'm afraid
you'll be relieved of the duty of

Shelly. Well, that's fine with me.

Well, I guess that's it, then.

I'm okay.

Mom's okay.

I guess everyone's off the hook.

Except me, where you're concerned,
right?

No. No, it's all right.

I told you, I understand how things can
happen.

Look, I never even expected to know my
father, let alone have him be an all

right guy.

Shelly. Look, it's all right, really.

The things you've done, sending me the
flowers, that's enough for now.

I'm sorry, Shelly, but I didn't send you
the flowers.

Oh.

There was no card, so I figured they
were from you. I mean, flowers like that

cost a lot of money.

Yes, they do.

You have no idea who sent them?

No. All my friends are as broke as I am.

Seems to me people aren't usually so
secretive about being considerate.

I'll be right back.

Okay, thank you, Lieutenant. We'll wait
till we hear from you. Bye -bye.

How long ago did those flowers from Miss
Barrett arrive?

Oh, just a minute or so before you got
here, Mr. Jones. Who brought them?

I excuse you.

Did he say what delivery service or who
they were from? No.

What is it?

It's funny, but that order they had on
Sunglass, he could be the same man.

You hit him.

That's right, Lieutenant, but it was
dark and I couldn't tell how badly he

wounded. But there is a chance that he
might show up in one of the hospitals in

the area.

Well, it wasn't easy, but I found him.

Eddie Pearson in person.

Hiya, Barnaby.

Well, that's very good news, Lieutenant.
I'm sure that Shelly will be glad to

hear it.

Thank you.

They dropped the charges against Shelly?

A couple from Redondo backed her story.

Good to see you, Eddie.

Likewise, pal.

What is all this hush -hush stuff? Eddie
wouldn't tell me to what I owe the

pleasure.

Eddie, what do you know about the
narcotics agent who was murdered

Only what I read in the papers.

You still wired into everything that
happens in San Pedro?

Not like I used to.

I need some information.

Uh, who runs the, uh, cocaine trade down
there now?

Hey, Barnaby, come on.

You know I stay away from the hard
stuff.

Anyway, those dealers are always being
busted.

Drug scene's always changing.

I need a name, uh, someplace to start.

Anything at all that would tell me what
the narcotics agent was into.

Barnaby, you know I can't refuse you
nothing.

If you want it, you got it. If it can be
got.

Oh, forget it, pal. I owe you.

You sure?

Well, maybe, uh...

Thank you.

See you, folks.

Tony?

There's nothing in that bathroom or the
kitchen.

How come you don't keep any bandages in
this dump? God, what happened?

You're hurt.

Bandages, no antiseptics, nothing.

Look at that. Poor baby.

It's all right.

You get blood poisoning or something.

I'm going to call a doctor.

No. No.

A doctor's have to report things like
this to the cops. Uh, forget it.

What do cops have to do with... Forget
it. It's just a scratch.

Tony, don't shut me out.

Tell me what happened.

Uh, I had a run -in with some people I
owe some money to.

I mean, these are real heavy dudes.

And if, uh, I go to the cops, they'll
really blow me away next time.

Tony, what are we going to do?

Come on, it's late. You should get to
the club.

What if these people come after you
again?

We'll figure that out later.

Now, you be a good soldier, get on over
the club, and act like nothing's

happened. But, Tony... Now, do I look
worried?

So don't you worry.

Go on.

There.

Do the eyes seem better now?

Well, like I said, Barnaby and I really
didn't get a good look at him.

The only time I saw him close, he was
wearing sunglasses.

Barnaby, this is what the police artist
has been able to come up with so far.

This the man you hitched a ride with?

It's kind of close.

Can you make a copy? As soon as I get
back to headquarters.

Wait a minute, isn't there a photocopy
machine in the building?

There's one down the hall. I'll show
you.

I'll be right with you.

Well, how does it feel to be a free
woman?

Free? The guard's still here. She just
went out to get a cup of coffee.

Lieutenant Biddle is keeping her on as a
precaution.

That fellow's still out there, you know.

You need anything?

Nothing, except... Except what?

Well, I don't know what to call you.

I feel funny calling my own father Mr.
Jones.

Shelly, when your mother started telling
you about me,

She ever mentioned that I had been
married before we met?

No, she didn't. I met your mother
shortly after my wife died.

Your mother was very understanding, and
I needed that.

We all need someone to talk to
sometimes.

And after a while, Marie realized that I
wasn't ready for another relationship.

She gave me love and sympathy, and I
just gave her my pain.

Is that why you left us?

What I'm trying to say is that things
were not that serious between your

and me.

But you must have loved her once.

For a little while. I mean, I'm here,
aren't I?

Try to understand that we didn't know
each other that well.

And then your mother got the job up
north.

And she left Los Angeles for good.

But you kept on writing to her. I read
the letters.

Yes, we corresponded for a time.

And one day she wrote that she had found
someone. I think she said he was in the

Merchant Marine.

Oh, Salem, that's a beaut.

Look, I told you it's all right. I can
get along just fine without a father.

Only just stop lying to me about it.

Shelly, I like you.

And when you like someone, you have to
be honest with them.

I'm not your father.

I don't want to hear you lying to me
anymore.

I just don't. I don't want to hear it.

Just stop it. Just stop lying to me like
that.

Is something wrong?

I don't want to leave. I don't want to
get out.

Just a minute, please. I'll see if I can
get him.

Oh, Mr. Jones.

For you.

Yes? Barnaby. Hi, Eddie. Just dropped by
to fill you guys in on my travels to

San Pedro.

You come up with something?

Best I could do is Harry Coyle. Right
now he seems to be Mr. Big in the South

Bay area.

Where do I find him?

He's supposed to hang out in a... A
little joint down there called the Red

Bar.

The way that I feel You made it so

For I'll always love you Nothing can
change

The way that I feel

Howdy, fellas. What do you want to hear?

Well, we have a request, but it's not
for a song.

This man look familiar to you?

No, I've never seen him before.

Take another look.

Can't help you.

You sure?

Listen, man, I don't have that many
fans. And that guy isn't one of them.

But that's all about anyway.

Well, if you don't know them,

it wouldn't interest you.

Well, she certainly sings better than
she lies. Yes.

Let's drop by Lieutenant Biddle's, see
if the police have anything on her.

is gonna call you those two would they
want they wouldn't think that they were

looking for you did you tell them
anything no of course not good girl

they're the ones aren't they the ones
that shot you yeah that's them

only it wasn't about owing the money it
was about shelly whoever she is

what do you know about her you wrote her
name on your pad and also the number of

a hospital

What does she have to do with all this?

Well, she's a girl I went with before I
latched on to you.

She was in an accident yesterday and
ended up in the hospital.

I don't get the connection.

Well, her family's big in the syndicate.

They think it's my fault.

Tell me.

We gotta pack up and get out of town
right away.

Well, there's somebody coming back from
a trip tomorrow.

If I can't get this thing straightened
out by then...

Maybe we'll have to.

Shelly, please be reasonable.

I'm not under arrest anymore, am I?

No, but that man tried to get at you
once. Now he might try again. I don't

what happens to him.

You can tell anyone who wants to know. I
just don't care.

Barnaby Jones Investigations, may I help
you?

Hello, Betty.

Anything from the sanitarium since I was
there?

No, so I called them a few minutes ago.
And except for the visit with her mother

late last night, she hasn't been back.
Did you check at the house again for

Yeah, I just left there.

What about Jedediah? Was he able to get
an address on that girl singer, Ginger

Halston? Mm -hmm.

And he's gone over to her place now to
see if any of the neighbors could

recognize the composite drawing.

Do you think we should get Lieutenant
Biddle to put out an APB on Shelley?

We might have to do that, but first I
want to have another talk with her

You can reach me there.

You know the guy, Harry Coyle. He always
sits in the back.

Oh, he's there now?

No, I don't want to talk to him.

Where the hell have you been?

Come on, let's get packed. We've got to
get out of here.

Tony, I thought I could fix things up,
but I couldn't.

She was already gone.

What are you talking about?

That old girlfriend of yours.

The one that got in the accident.

Girlfriend?

The one in the hospital?

That's where I've been.

Are you crazy?

I only wanted to help. I thought maybe
if I could talk to her, if I could plead

with her, to get her family to call off
those killers.

Help? You probably let him right back
here.

No, Tony.

That's what I'm trying to tell you. She
was already gone when I got there.

Gone? Gone where?

The nurse said that she went home last
night.

Where's that story?

About what?

Never mind.

The same girl.

Tony?

Ginger, hi, listen.

From what your landlord tells me, you
lied to us last night about not knowing

this fella.

Thank you.

Hello, Marie?

Who are you?

What are you doing in my house?

Marie, it's Barnaby.

Barnaby?

You were born to be once.

They're giving me medicine that mixes me
up. It makes me forget things.

Dr. Ashley says it's helping you to get
well.

Excuse me, my daughter's been away, but
now she's come home and I have to clean

house.

That's who I want to talk to you about,
Shelly.

You know Shelly.

Who are you? You look familiar.

Try to understand.

Shelly is in trouble.

I've got to find her.

Shelly's a good girl. She's never been
in trouble, never.

Marie, when Shelly visited you last
night, did you say where she was going?

Barnaby.

Barnaby. Yes.

When Shelly was a little girl, the other
children used to... tease her because

she didn't have a father like they did i
used to tell her that wasn't true of

course she had a father the dearest
kindest man any little girl could ever

for but that was a lie it

was cruel of you to go away and never
come back

Where is Shelly now? It's important.

Shelly!

Shelly!

Dear, that girl just doesn't listen
anymore.

Marie, try to think.

When Shelly's frightened, scared of
something, is there some special place

person that she goes to?

Oh, yes.

Where is that?

She comes home to me.

Mr. Jones, there's a call for you.

You can take it right.

Hello? Barnaby, I'm at Ginger Halston's
place. Turns out that the guy we're

looking for is her boyfriend.

His name is Tony Bridger.

Did she say where he is?

Well, from what I can gather, he's on
his way to San Pedro looking for Shelly.

Does he know where Shelly lives?

He's going to find out soon enough.

He tore out the page in the phone book
with all the Barrett names on it.

Call Biddle.

Fortunately, Shelly's not home, but if
Bridger shows up, I'm going to give him

warm welcome.

Of course Shelly's home. Where else
would she be?

Shelly!

Come down here. Your father wants to see
you.

Shelly upstairs.

Didn't you ask me where she goes when
she's frightened?

Yes, ma 'am.

It's her special place. She always goes
there when she's afraid.

Excuse me, Marie, but I have to get
there fast.

Hey, uh, Kelly?

Now look, darling, I just want to talk
to you.

It's all right now.

It's all right.

Did you

talk to Dr. Ashley?

Yes, and Dr.

Ashley says that your mother is
responding so well to the new treatment

can probably stay here until she's ready
to go home.

That's wonderful.

And you are going back and finish your
last year of college, is that right?

Yes.

My mother told me about my real father.

The sailor.

Funny. For a while there, I thought I
had a father.

Now I don't again.

Maybe not, but I think you know that you
have found a new friend.

And Shelly, a friend, can be anything
you want him to be.

Thank you.

Thanks.

I'll be in touch.

Where have you had it go?

I think everything's going to be just
fine.
