Tonight's episode, Duet for Dying.

8
00:01:05,649 --> 00:01:10,630
Love can be so fun and I've got the
time.

9
00:01:11,250 --> 00:01:14,110
Honey, let's not waste it.

10
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,880
If you're looking for some fun, I know
where you can find it.

11
00:01:48,540 --> 00:01:50,880
Don't tell me you own an amusement park.

12
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:57,479
No, but I do own a little house near
here with a swimming pool and a well

13
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,460
-stocked bar and tiki torches.

14
00:02:01,020 --> 00:02:02,860
Why don't you and me go have a party?

15
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,479
Sounds like a ball, but before leaving
home, my mother made me promise to take

16
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,479
care of my baby sister, Pearl.

17
00:02:10,521 --> 00:02:15,969
If I'm going to teach you, you've got to
get a little closer.

18
00:02:15,970 --> 00:02:17,020
Oh, yeah?

19
00:02:17,050 --> 00:02:18,100
Okay, now.

20
00:02:18,530 --> 00:02:19,580
Okay,

21
00:02:19,901 --> 00:02:21,869
now.

22
00:02:21,870 --> 00:02:22,930
You see? Oh!

23
00:02:24,030 --> 00:02:25,930
Wait a minute.

24
00:02:26,250 --> 00:02:28,360
Didn't I tell you I used to be a
lifeguard?

25
00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:32,690
No. I have a strange feeling there's a
lot you haven't told me.

26
00:02:33,570 --> 00:02:34,630
Oh, like what?

27
00:02:35,250 --> 00:02:36,300
Like you're married.

28
00:02:36,610 --> 00:02:37,660
All right.

29
00:02:38,310 --> 00:02:39,360
I'm married.

30
00:02:39,450 --> 00:02:41,250
But I'm separated.

31
00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:43,380
That was after 15 years.

32
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,500
My wife walked out on me.

33
00:02:45,940 --> 00:02:46,990
Just like that.

34
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,660
I don't mind telling you, Ruby.

35
00:02:50,300 --> 00:02:51,350
It hurt.

36
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:57,540
But that's why I'm glad that I found you
and your little baby sister, Pearl.

37
00:02:57,541 --> 00:03:03,119
Pearlie. Where is Pearl, anyway? Oh,
she's probably just sleeping it off. She

38
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,560
can't drink that much anyway.

39
00:03:21,930 --> 00:03:22,980
You little thief.

40
00:03:23,490 --> 00:03:25,470
You was just ripping me off.

41
00:03:25,471 --> 00:03:28,969
You and your sister figured you had an
easy pigeon, didn't you? My little

42
00:03:28,970 --> 00:03:30,830
Pearl, I'm going to teach you a lesson.

43
00:03:35,410 --> 00:03:39,030
We'll fix you both now.

44
00:03:54,410 --> 00:03:56,090
Doesn't look like he's breathing.

45
00:03:57,050 --> 00:03:58,450
He is a ruby.

46
00:03:59,410 --> 00:04:00,460
He's dead.

47
00:04:01,790 --> 00:04:05,230
We better get out of here. I can't leave
him just like this.

48
00:04:05,670 --> 00:04:08,020
What if someone saw us leave the club
with him?

49
00:04:09,330 --> 00:04:10,590
Well, think of something.

50
00:04:11,870 --> 00:04:13,150
We'll dump him in the pool.

51
00:04:13,710 --> 00:04:14,760
He was drinking.

52
00:04:14,970 --> 00:04:17,860
They'll think he just slipped and hit
his head on the side.

53
00:04:18,269 --> 00:04:19,390
What about the stuff?

54
00:04:19,630 --> 00:04:21,070
We gotta put everything back.

55
00:04:23,180 --> 00:04:26,430
If we don't put everything back, they'll
know it was an accident.

56
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,620
Take one of these and wipe everything
off, okay?

57
00:04:31,140 --> 00:04:32,190
Go on.

58
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,600
I mean everything, Pearl.

59
00:04:47,820 --> 00:04:49,920
I heard you, Ruby. I heard you.

60
00:04:56,140 --> 00:04:59,759
I can remember a time when the only
thing people did in pools was swim. My

61
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:01,319
husband bought that somewhere.

62
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,340
Mr. Jones, I just don't believe it was
an accident.

63
00:05:04,820 --> 00:05:07,290
The police didn't find anything to say
it wasn't.

64
00:05:07,380 --> 00:05:11,100
Harry never went swimming late at night,
drunk or sober.

65
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,100
In fact, he rarely used the pool at all.
He had other interests.

66
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,040
What other interests?

67
00:05:19,340 --> 00:05:22,280
Women. Oh, Mrs. Dunbar, are you sure?

68
00:05:22,580 --> 00:05:26,320
Yes. Harry was going through sort of a
middle -aged crisis.

69
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,750
I found out that he was going to
neighborhood bars and picking up women.

70
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,360
I confronted him about it several months
ago.

71
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,260
He said he swore he would stop.

72
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:37,940
He said he still loved me.

73
00:05:39,300 --> 00:05:41,900
I loved him, and I forgave him.

74
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,679
Still, you think with you out of town
for a few days... Yes, he might have

75
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:47,820
brought somebody here.

76
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:51,720
Somebody who also might have stolen his
coin collection.

77
00:05:51,721 --> 00:05:55,629
Couldn't your husband have sold the
collection while you were away?

78
00:05:55,630 --> 00:05:57,050
That's what the police said.

79
00:05:57,430 --> 00:05:59,830
But Harry adored those old coins.

80
00:06:00,450 --> 00:06:02,330
Oh, please, Mr. Jones.

81
00:06:04,050 --> 00:06:10,389
I know it may sound selfish, but if
Harry's death was an accident, an

82
00:06:10,390 --> 00:06:15,529
that I might have prevented by being
here, then I'll have that guilt on my

83
00:06:15,530 --> 00:06:17,430
conscience for the rest of my life.

84
00:06:19,750 --> 00:06:20,870
I'll do what I can.

85
00:06:21,550 --> 00:06:22,630
Can you fix it or not?

86
00:06:23,550 --> 00:06:25,910
Anything that runs on gas, I can fix.

87
00:06:29,190 --> 00:06:30,370
Tell the truth, bro.

88
00:06:31,590 --> 00:06:34,450
I'm just getting pretty tired of fixing
things for you.

89
00:06:36,610 --> 00:06:38,350
I'm not getting anything in return.

90
00:06:39,050 --> 00:06:40,490
You're not getting anything.

91
00:06:42,110 --> 00:06:44,350
Harley, we go out together, don't we?

92
00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:46,670
I'm not talking about that.

93
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,260
I want you to marry me, Pearl.

94
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,420
Settle down, have kids.

95
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,720
Harley, I'm not giving up my career.

96
00:06:58,660 --> 00:07:01,760
Ruby and me, we were born the same.

97
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,880
But you ain't getting anywhere.

98
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,900
That is because true talent takes time
to mature.

99
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,960
But we're going to make it. You'll see.

100
00:07:10,980 --> 00:07:14,650
Now, are you going to fix this thing or
do I have to take it somewhere else?

101
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,360
Lester? Yeah, Harley?

102
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,490
You're not going to use that socket
wrench. Can I use it for a minute?

103
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,570
Here you go.

104
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:29,810
Lester.

105
00:07:32,340 --> 00:07:33,600
Don't run into the fender.

106
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:39,890
All right, Harley.

107
00:07:40,260 --> 00:07:41,310
You want money?

108
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,970
This time I'm going to pay you for your
work.

109
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,300
But you said you was broke.

110
00:07:45,540 --> 00:07:46,590
I am.

111
00:07:46,860 --> 00:07:52,319
But just as soon... as I find a buyer
for this coin collection, I'm gonna have

112
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:53,370
some money.

113
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,280
Where'd you get that?

114
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,060
Who we got for playing this club last
weekend?

115
00:07:58,500 --> 00:08:01,270
The owner said it was worth a lot more
than our usual fee.

116
00:08:02,140 --> 00:08:04,370
Why don't you take to a coin shop and
sell it?

117
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,200
Well, to tell you the truth, Harley, I
think this owner was a little bit shady.

118
00:08:09,340 --> 00:08:10,390
You know what I mean?

119
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:12,300
Who knows where he got it?

120
00:08:12,980 --> 00:08:17,540
Anyway, I thought if I could find a
dealer who was also a bit shady...

121
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,310
Wouldn't know anybody like that, would
you, Harley?

122
00:08:23,900 --> 00:08:28,420
I got a friend. I sure appreciate it,
hon.

123
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:33,799
We'll see if I can get him.

124
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:39,729
Hey, Pearl.

125
00:08:40,039 --> 00:08:42,320
Can you bring the brood bomb back to
life?

126
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:43,650
Yeah.

127
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,900
Ruby. Ruby, remember when Mama used to
say she was struck with a fear of him?

128
00:08:49,369 --> 00:08:51,870
Uh -huh. Well, that's what happened to
me today.

129
00:08:52,330 --> 00:08:54,470
I thought of a new name for the act.

130
00:08:55,550 --> 00:08:57,630
The Starshine Sisters.

131
00:08:59,350 --> 00:09:00,400
Starshine Sisters.

132
00:09:00,450 --> 00:09:01,500
Huh?

133
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:22,370
take anything.

134
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,940
Yeah, well, you also told me we needed
some money to cut that new demo.

135
00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:30,460
Not if it means spending the rest of our
lives in jail, no.

136
00:09:30,940 --> 00:09:33,040
We are not going to.

137
00:09:33,420 --> 00:09:36,120
I'm already making plans to get rid of
them.

138
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,640
Besides, no use crying over spilt milk.

139
00:09:40,180 --> 00:09:42,040
Can't very well take them back, can I?

140
00:09:42,980 --> 00:09:44,580
No, you sure can't.

141
00:09:46,140 --> 00:09:47,190
Hi, Ruby.

142
00:09:47,191 --> 00:09:48,319
Hi, Harley.

143
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:49,400
Did you find someone?

144
00:10:02,161 --> 00:10:04,119
He was in Friday night.

145
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:05,170
You sure?

146
00:10:05,171 --> 00:10:07,339
Yeah, he sat at that table right over
there.

147
00:10:07,340 --> 00:10:08,420
I sat him there myself.

148
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,880
He, uh, wanted to be next to the stage.

149
00:10:12,780 --> 00:10:16,620
If bar hopping was an Olympic event,
he'd be another Mark Spitz.

150
00:10:16,860 --> 00:10:19,040
What? I checked out 12 bars.

151
00:10:19,380 --> 00:10:21,140
He'd been in four of them that night.

152
00:10:21,540 --> 00:10:23,160
Well, I bet this was his last stop.

153
00:10:23,620 --> 00:10:24,670
Why do you say that?

154
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,510
Well, because when he left, it was
almost 2 o 'clock.

155
00:10:27,620 --> 00:10:29,420
Wouldn't have found any others open.

156
00:10:29,421 --> 00:10:30,639
Was he alone?

157
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:31,690
He came in by himself.

158
00:10:31,691 --> 00:10:33,519
But left with the Macon Dolls.

159
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,200
The Macon Dolls? A singing act.

160
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:38,790
If you can call it in the other note,
singing.

161
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,360
But they're knockouts to look at, so...
The Macon Dolls.

162
00:10:43,980 --> 00:10:45,060
What are their names?

163
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,250
Don't ask me that. I book a lot of
groups right off the streets.

164
00:10:48,740 --> 00:10:51,400
They come in, they look good, so I give
them a shot.

165
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,040
Afterwards, I slip them 50 bucks and,
you know, so much for showbiz.

166
00:10:56,041 --> 00:10:58,359
Did you leave any publicity pictures?

167
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,600
No. But I told you what they looked
like.

168
00:11:00,601 --> 00:11:01,929
You did?

169
00:11:01,930 --> 00:11:04,510
Yeah, knockouts. I mean, real knockouts.

170
00:11:09,690 --> 00:11:14,110
An 1836 Siegelbrecht silver dollar.

171
00:11:14,430 --> 00:11:19,250
Not in mint condition, but I must admit,
well cared for.

172
00:11:19,490 --> 00:11:20,690
You want to buy it or not?

173
00:11:20,691 --> 00:11:25,169
Well, I'll tell you the truth, it's
really not much of a collection, but

174
00:11:25,170 --> 00:11:28,780
you're a friend... 500 bucks, that's the
least I'll take for it, all right?

175
00:11:28,930 --> 00:11:30,310
500? Yeah.

176
00:11:31,270 --> 00:11:33,590
Well, why quibble over a few dollars?

177
00:11:34,230 --> 00:11:37,360
I'll have to get the money from my
office. I'll keep my own money.

178
00:11:38,250 --> 00:11:39,300
If you wish.

179
00:11:43,450 --> 00:11:45,270
Five hundred dollars.

180
00:11:58,631 --> 00:12:03,099
Barnaby Jones Investigations, may I help
you?

181
00:12:03,100 --> 00:12:04,150
Is he there?

182
00:12:04,151 --> 00:12:06,279
No, I'm sorry, he isn't. May I take a
message?

183
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,760
It's Stanley Beauchamp at the coin
gallery.

184
00:12:09,460 --> 00:12:12,780
An associate of Barnaby's stopped by
earlier today.

185
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,540
He said Barnaby was interested in a
stolen coin collection.

186
00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:20,360
Well, it just walked in the door.

187
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,320
Did two girls bring it in? Two girls?

188
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,750
No, it's a young man. He's waiting here
now.

189
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,160
Mr. Beauchamp, the owner of those coins
was murdered.

190
00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:31,200
Murdered?

191
00:12:31,870 --> 00:12:36,070
Look, miss, I don't want to get involved
with the murderer.

192
00:12:46,830 --> 00:12:48,570
One of them was a redhead.

193
00:12:48,790 --> 00:12:50,150
The other brunette.

194
00:12:50,430 --> 00:12:52,830
Such faces, such babies.

195
00:12:53,330 --> 00:12:54,450
Real knockouts.

196
00:12:54,451 --> 00:12:56,209
What were their real names?

197
00:12:56,210 --> 00:12:57,260
Their real name?

198
00:12:57,870 --> 00:12:58,920
I don't know.

199
00:12:58,921 --> 00:13:00,599
You must have called them something.

200
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:05,639
Oh, I didn't call them at all. They just
walked into my office one morning. And

201
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,720
in those three minutes, they made their
biggest mistake.

202
00:13:09,740 --> 00:13:11,180
They sang for me.

203
00:13:11,181 --> 00:13:12,899
They were really that bad, huh?

204
00:13:12,900 --> 00:13:14,980
I don't make snap judgments anymore.

205
00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:17,880
Not since I turned down Alice Cooper.

206
00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:20,860
And you beat that Alice Cooper.

207
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,660
I said to myself, what kind of name is
that for a grown man?

208
00:13:28,010 --> 00:13:32,270
Mr. Jones, whatever happened to singers
like Dick Hames, the Andrews sisters?

209
00:13:33,110 --> 00:13:34,160
Who?

210
00:13:35,870 --> 00:13:37,670
And you never heard from them since?

211
00:13:37,810 --> 00:13:41,830
Not a word. Of course, in this business,
they come and go like the wind.

212
00:13:42,370 --> 00:13:46,490
Anybody can pluck a guitar, fancies
himself another John Denver.

213
00:13:46,830 --> 00:13:50,950
And why not? I wish my own kid was
another John Denver.

214
00:13:51,910 --> 00:13:53,550
Instead, he became a doctor.

215
00:13:54,850 --> 00:13:59,509
Well... The way things are today, Mr.
Prideman, you just can't tell how kids

216
00:13:59,510 --> 00:14:00,560
going to turn out.

217
00:14:00,610 --> 00:14:04,449
If you should happen to hear from the
girls, would you call me, please, at

218
00:14:04,450 --> 00:14:05,690
number? Why not?

219
00:14:08,430 --> 00:14:09,550
Sam Prideman, agency.

220
00:14:10,610 --> 00:14:12,970
Oh, yeah, just a minute. Mr. Jones, for
you.

221
00:14:14,470 --> 00:14:18,650
Hello? Oh, Barbie, I'm so glad I finally
found you. I tried five other agents.

222
00:14:18,950 --> 00:14:20,570
What is it? Well, I just got a call.

223
00:14:21,580 --> 00:14:25,159
There's a man in his door right this
minute trying to sell the Dunbar

224
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,759
collection. He said he'd try and stall
him. Thank you, Betty. We'll be right

225
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,280
over. Thank you very much for your time,
sir.

226
00:14:34,020 --> 00:14:35,070
Well?

227
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,010
What'd you think?

228
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:39,330
I told you!

229
00:14:39,340 --> 00:14:40,720
Now, wait a second.

230
00:14:41,660 --> 00:14:44,400
Wait a second. I meant... I liked it.

231
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,220
I didn't mean I loved it.

232
00:14:46,740 --> 00:14:48,180
Well, what was wrong with it?

233
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:49,900
That needs work, that's all.

234
00:14:50,770 --> 00:14:51,820
Better phrasing.

235
00:14:53,650 --> 00:14:54,700
Sharper beat.

236
00:14:54,770 --> 00:15:01,250
And that... You like that, huh?

237
00:15:02,290 --> 00:15:04,460
Sweetheart, that went out with Brenda
Lee.

238
00:15:06,910 --> 00:15:10,250
Well, you're still going to produce the
demo for us. Yeah, yeah.

239
00:15:11,730 --> 00:15:13,590
As soon as you come up with $1 ,000.

240
00:15:14,110 --> 00:15:17,190
$1 ,000? It would only cost $500.

241
00:15:18,190 --> 00:15:19,790
That was a ballpark figure.

242
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,180
It needs more work than I thought.

243
00:15:22,380 --> 00:15:24,790
A couple of extra sidemen wouldn't hurt
either.

244
00:15:24,860 --> 00:15:26,940
Look, I've got a reputation.

245
00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:29,620
I once produced the space people.

246
00:15:31,420 --> 00:15:32,920
All right, all right, Michael.

247
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:34,760
Then you can get the bread.

248
00:15:35,460 --> 00:15:38,820
Sure, I'll... Michael, Ruby and me, we
were thinking.

249
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:45,140
What we really need is a manager, you
know, somebody who could look after us,

250
00:15:45,180 --> 00:15:46,580
take us under his wing.

251
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:53,280
And instead of paying him cash up front,
what we do is give him a commission.

252
00:15:53,940 --> 00:15:57,240
And other benefits.

253
00:15:59,180 --> 00:16:01,460
I'll see if I can find somebody for you.

254
00:16:02,620 --> 00:16:04,100
When can you get the bread?

255
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,620
I'll give you a call tomorrow.

256
00:16:09,020 --> 00:16:10,070
You do that.

257
00:16:18,570 --> 00:16:19,770
This is Michael Albert.

258
00:16:21,170 --> 00:16:23,070
I gotta talk to you inside. Come on.

259
00:16:23,071 --> 00:16:24,229
What, what?

260
00:16:24,230 --> 00:16:25,280
Come on.

261
00:16:25,370 --> 00:16:26,420
Hey!

262
00:16:26,550 --> 00:16:28,730
Don't! What's wrong with you, Harley?

263
00:16:28,731 --> 00:16:30,569
Hey, you're all in trouble. Now, get in
there.

264
00:16:30,570 --> 00:16:31,950
Harley! Harley!

265
00:16:32,530 --> 00:16:36,250
Michael Albert just happens to be the
producer of our new song.

266
00:16:36,251 --> 00:16:39,729
Yeah, where's he gonna produce it? In
jail? Now, come on. What do you mean?

267
00:16:39,730 --> 00:16:42,620
I'll tell you what I mean. Now, this
coin collection is hot.

268
00:16:43,490 --> 00:16:47,690
Harley, I told you I didn't trust that
club owner.

269
00:16:48,220 --> 00:16:51,420
I heard the guy on the phone. He said
two girls done it.

270
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,080
Well, he was wrong.

271
00:16:53,081 --> 00:16:55,999
Well, I suppose he's wrong about murder,
too, huh?

272
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,440
Murder? Harley.

273
00:16:59,300 --> 00:17:01,160
Now, Pearl, I want the truth right now.

274
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,610
I want to hear it now. Come on. All
right, Harley.

275
00:17:03,980 --> 00:17:10,858
If that's what you really want, Ruby,
it's all right. I think he

276
00:17:10,859 --> 00:17:13,760
has a right to know, feeling the way we
do about each other.

277
00:17:15,180 --> 00:17:16,230
When we...

278
00:17:16,490 --> 00:17:20,730
When I finished singing the other night,
this man invited Ruby over for a swim.

279
00:17:21,630 --> 00:17:22,680
In that right, Ruby?

280
00:17:23,210 --> 00:17:24,260
Yeah.

281
00:17:24,261 --> 00:17:27,429
Yeah, only except I didn't want to go by
myself, so I asked Pearl to come along

282
00:17:27,430 --> 00:17:27,969
with me.

283
00:17:27,970 --> 00:17:28,729
Uh -huh.

284
00:17:28,730 --> 00:17:35,210
And while I was resting myself in the
bedroom, he left Ruby in the pool,

285
00:17:35,370 --> 00:17:42,189
came in, and started attacking me. She
was fighting for her virtue, Harley.

286
00:17:42,190 --> 00:17:45,260
I saw what he was trying to do, I hit
him over the head with this...

287
00:17:45,420 --> 00:17:46,470
Brass thing.

288
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,420
Next thing I know, he was dead.

289
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,200
You can imagine how scared we were.

290
00:17:52,740 --> 00:17:58,259
But then Ruby got this idea to throw the
body into the pool so it would look

291
00:17:58,260 --> 00:17:59,310
like an accident.

292
00:18:00,220 --> 00:18:02,580
And then I saw these things on the
dresser.

293
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:08,680
I said to myself, I said, Pearl, you
deserve those for what he just did to

294
00:18:09,820 --> 00:18:10,870
So I took them.

295
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,400
That's the... honest truth, Harley.

296
00:18:20,140 --> 00:18:22,100
I don't know what to play.

297
00:18:24,700 --> 00:18:28,739
But I know this. You need a man to get a
firm grip on you, and I'm just that

298
00:18:28,740 --> 00:18:29,790
man.

299
00:18:29,791 --> 00:18:32,359
Tonight, you and me, we're going away
from here.

300
00:18:32,360 --> 00:18:33,640
Away? Where?

301
00:18:34,420 --> 00:18:35,470
Albuquerque.

302
00:18:36,220 --> 00:18:37,760
Albuquerque? What's there?

303
00:18:37,761 --> 00:18:38,939
A garage.

304
00:18:38,940 --> 00:18:41,639
I've been thinking about buying it, and
I've got enough money put aside, and I

305
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:42,459
can do it now.

306
00:18:42,460 --> 00:18:44,690
Harley, you can't... Ruby, shut up!

307
00:18:46,290 --> 00:18:49,480
Now, you and me, we're going tonight,
right after I get off work.

308
00:18:49,590 --> 00:18:50,910
Harley, I can't.

309
00:18:50,911 --> 00:18:54,689
You ain't got no choice in the matter.
Look, you're coming with me, or I'm

310
00:18:54,690 --> 00:18:57,970
gonna... I'm gonna turn you into police.

311
00:18:59,890 --> 00:19:06,390
I love you that much, Pearl, and I...
Well, I don't know if I love you, honey.

312
00:19:07,190 --> 00:19:08,240
Oh, you will.

313
00:19:08,850 --> 00:19:11,380
I'll be two weeks alone with me, and
you'll love me.

314
00:19:12,030 --> 00:19:13,080
I'll see to that.

315
00:19:15,900 --> 00:19:19,340
You get yourself ready. I'll call you by
now, all right?

316
00:19:20,580 --> 00:19:22,680
Okay. Now I'm going to hang on to these.

317
00:19:29,900 --> 00:19:33,380
Mom never said the road be paved with
honeysuckle.

318
00:19:34,820 --> 00:19:41,740
Barnaby had an 1836 silver dollar with
the artist's name engraved at the base.

319
00:19:42,550 --> 00:19:43,600
Like this.

320
00:19:44,370 --> 00:19:45,420
Siegobrecht.

321
00:19:45,510 --> 00:19:46,830
And how much that's worth?

322
00:19:47,370 --> 00:19:48,750
Before or after inflation?

323
00:19:50,070 --> 00:19:51,470
Almost $2 ,000.

324
00:19:51,790 --> 00:19:54,690
All he wanted was $500 for the whole
collection.

325
00:19:55,470 --> 00:20:00,209
Barnaby, I know I owed you a favor for
helping me convince the police that I

326
00:20:00,210 --> 00:20:03,989
nothing to do with those counterfeit
rare coins that floated around last

327
00:20:03,990 --> 00:20:05,769
knew you had too much integrity for
that.

328
00:20:05,770 --> 00:20:07,350
But as of now, we're even.

329
00:20:07,790 --> 00:20:11,280
The slate is wiped clean. Now, can you
tell us anything more about him?

330
00:20:11,281 --> 00:20:14,589
Just that I wouldn't want to get him
angry at me. He was a big husky guy.

331
00:20:14,590 --> 00:20:15,640
Did you get his name?

332
00:20:15,690 --> 00:20:16,740
No.

333
00:20:16,790 --> 00:20:17,840
Wait a minute.

334
00:20:18,970 --> 00:20:20,850
Harley. Why do you say that?

335
00:20:21,090 --> 00:20:24,470
I remember seeing the name Harley
stitched to his jacket.

336
00:20:25,450 --> 00:20:29,530
And there was an O with a wing along the
side. I'll show you.

337
00:20:35,210 --> 00:20:36,260
Johnny.

338
00:20:48,539 --> 00:20:50,769
Harley, will you come out from under
there?

339
00:20:52,540 --> 00:20:54,040
Well, what are you doing here?

340
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,720
I told you I'd come get you after I got
my car going.

341
00:20:57,060 --> 00:20:58,500
I had to talk to you, Harley.

342
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,090
It's important.

343
00:21:00,340 --> 00:21:01,390
Well, go on.

344
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:06,979
Well, I've been thinking about what you
said this afternoon, and I've come to

345
00:21:06,980 --> 00:21:08,720
the conclusion that you were right.

346
00:21:08,910 --> 00:21:13,589
Best thing for me to do is to go to
Albuquerque with you, get married,

347
00:21:13,590 --> 00:21:15,070
down, have children.

348
00:21:16,470 --> 00:21:18,790
You do want children, don't you, Harley?

349
00:21:19,370 --> 00:21:20,420
Oh, yeah, sure.

350
00:21:20,750 --> 00:21:21,800
I do, too.

351
00:21:22,190 --> 00:21:25,850
And I hope they're all boys and just
like their daddy.

352
00:21:25,851 --> 00:21:27,369
Only...

353
00:21:27,370 --> 00:21:35,229
Only

354
00:21:35,230 --> 00:21:36,269
what?

355
00:21:36,270 --> 00:21:37,320
Harley.

356
00:21:37,580 --> 00:21:39,720
I just got some terrible news about
Ruby.

357
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:41,650
Well, tell me.

358
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,020
She's sick, Harley.

359
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:44,490
Real sick.

360
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:46,640
Well, what's she got?

361
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,380
The doctor won't know for sure until he
performs the operation.

362
00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:53,620
When is that going to be?

363
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:54,970
You don't know.

364
00:21:55,020 --> 00:21:57,400
It costs a lot of money and we don't
have any.

365
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,250
How much?

366
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:00,500
At least a thousand.

367
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,050
Probably more.

368
00:22:07,050 --> 00:22:08,110
Well, I want to help.

369
00:22:08,111 --> 00:22:11,129
She's going to be my sister -in -law.

370
00:22:11,130 --> 00:22:12,180
Really, Harley?

371
00:22:12,310 --> 00:22:15,690
Yeah. Well, if you could lend us some.

372
00:22:16,530 --> 00:22:19,510
You did say you had some saved up,
didn't you?

373
00:22:20,770 --> 00:22:22,050
Yeah, I got some.

374
00:22:23,530 --> 00:22:29,069
Well, then, just as soon as little
Ruby's back on her feet again, I can

375
00:22:29,070 --> 00:22:30,120
in Albuquerque.

376
00:22:31,291 --> 00:22:37,959
You tell Ruby to go ahead and make
arrangements for that operation, okay?

377
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:39,010
Oh, Harley!

378
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:44,599
And just as soon as it's over and she's
out, you can fly back from Albuquerque

379
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:45,650
and take care of her.

380
00:22:45,740 --> 00:22:48,030
All right, and you have to send the
bills to me.

381
00:22:48,031 --> 00:22:52,419
Harley! What do you think? You think I
fell off something and I'm turning it,

382
00:22:52,420 --> 00:22:53,470
truck?

383
00:22:53,471 --> 00:22:56,279
I know what you want, and you get on
back there and finish that pack, and I'm

384
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,780
going to pick you up in one hour.

385
00:23:16,110 --> 00:23:17,190
You can go for it.

386
00:23:17,430 --> 00:23:18,480
Creep.

387
00:23:20,230 --> 00:23:22,370
There's only one thing left to do.

388
00:23:24,750 --> 00:23:25,850
No, Pearl.

389
00:23:27,450 --> 00:23:28,500
Pearl?

390
00:23:43,670 --> 00:23:44,970
Is that you again?

391
00:24:16,319 --> 00:24:22,179
Ruby, like Mama was right again, not
even Satan's army can stop the market to

392
00:24:22,180 --> 00:24:23,230
town.

393
00:24:28,980 --> 00:24:32,780
Did Harley know a couple of singers
called the Macon Dolls?

394
00:24:32,781 --> 00:24:35,039
Pretty. One's a brunette, one's a
redhead.

395
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,050
Yeah, sounds like the two that used to
come around to see him.

396
00:24:38,700 --> 00:24:40,260
I didn't know they sang, though.

397
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:41,480
You know their names?

398
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,030
No, I just started to work here a couple
weeks ago.

399
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,570
A little redhead used to bring her car
in for Harley to fix.

400
00:24:47,571 --> 00:24:49,919
Well, her name would be on a work order
then, wouldn't it?

401
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,440
No, he didn't write one up.

402
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,380
He did the work for free.

403
00:24:53,940 --> 00:24:55,740
Didn't want the boss to know about it.

404
00:24:55,900 --> 00:24:56,950
What kind of car?

405
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,660
Oh, 68 wreck.

406
00:24:59,500 --> 00:25:00,740
Sort of a faded blue.

407
00:25:01,140 --> 00:25:03,310
Is that all you can tell us about the
girls?

408
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,010
Yeah.

409
00:25:06,300 --> 00:25:07,560
They sure were pretty.

410
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,160
as possible. Try to drown out the
voices.

411
00:26:59,421 --> 00:27:02,999
Didn't you really like it, Michael?

412
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,050
Hey, like it?

413
00:27:04,300 --> 00:27:08,559
That baby's not going to just any
flunky. I'm taking it to the head of

414
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:09,610
Records himself.

415
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,200
But first, I'm taking the Starshine
sisters out to dinner.

416
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,660
Now go get dressed and meet me at the
samovar in an hour.

417
00:27:37,770 --> 00:27:39,270
It's a champagne, all right.

418
00:27:40,830 --> 00:27:42,330
Barnaby Jones, can I help you?

419
00:27:42,550 --> 00:27:45,290
Mr. Jones, this is Sam Prideman.

420
00:27:45,590 --> 00:27:46,640
Oh, Mr. Prideman.

421
00:27:46,710 --> 00:27:48,770
I think I saw the Macon dolls.

422
00:27:49,230 --> 00:27:52,470
I wouldn't want to bet my life on it,
but sure looked like them.

423
00:27:52,890 --> 00:27:55,900
Only these girls called themselves the
Starshine Sisters.

424
00:27:56,250 --> 00:27:59,490
Where were they? A recording studio on
Wilcox.

425
00:27:59,491 --> 00:28:00,789
Are they still there?

426
00:28:00,790 --> 00:28:04,949
No, they left. But I overheard them
saying they were going to the Samovar

427
00:28:04,950 --> 00:28:06,000
dinner.

428
00:28:17,379 --> 00:28:21,880
Unless I'm in the wrong business,
Carlisle's going to want a three -album

429
00:28:22,700 --> 00:28:25,460
And you ladies are going to need a
personal manager.

430
00:28:26,300 --> 00:28:28,770
Well, that's why we're counting on you,
Michael.

431
00:28:28,940 --> 00:28:30,260
Think you can manage us?

432
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,880
I'll even tell you when to breathe.

433
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:48,450
Coupling knockout.

434
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,299
Wish we had a little more description
than that. Well, we know one's a

435
00:28:52,300 --> 00:28:53,350
and one's a redhead.

436
00:28:53,500 --> 00:28:55,500
They're still operating on suspicion.

437
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,370
It's worth about two cents in the open
market.

438
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,400
Want some more champagne?

439
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:06,570
Yeah.

440
00:29:09,780 --> 00:29:10,830
Hey.

441
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,020
You're the singers.

442
00:29:13,540 --> 00:29:14,840
The making dolls.

443
00:29:16,620 --> 00:29:19,090
I think you've got us mixed up with
somebody else.

444
00:29:19,140 --> 00:29:20,320
Are you putting me on?

445
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,320
Oh, I get it. You don't know who you
recognize in public.

446
00:29:25,820 --> 00:29:31,119
I won't tell another soul that you're
here, but I caught your act in Whittier,

447
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,840
place called the Red Crow.

448
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,530
Sensational. You're a couple of
knockouts.

449
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:41,160
We never played the Red Crow in
Whittier.

450
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,900
We're called the Starshine Fistos. I am.

451
00:29:44,500 --> 00:29:45,780
Starshine? Uh -huh.

452
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,180
Maybe you caught her acting in Vegas. We
play Vegas all the time.

453
00:29:50,460 --> 00:29:51,720
Vegas? Where at in Vegas?

454
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,460
The Fiesta Lounge.

455
00:29:55,140 --> 00:29:56,600
Fiesta Lounge?

456
00:29:56,980 --> 00:30:02,140
Well, then you must know my friend Sid
Howard. He's a musical director there.

457
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,200
Oh, no. I don't think you do either.

458
00:30:06,860 --> 00:30:10,220
You're right. I saw it work once in an
Humphrey Bogart picture.

459
00:30:10,620 --> 00:30:12,120
Oh, yeah, we saw that picture.

460
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,100
What do you want?

461
00:30:14,540 --> 00:30:15,740
My name's Barnaby Jones.

462
00:30:15,820 --> 00:30:20,719
I'm looking for somebody to kill a man
named Harry Dunbar. Stole his coin

463
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:25,260
collection and killed an auto mechanic
named Harley Nelson.

464
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,640
Sounds like a big assignment.

465
00:30:27,641 --> 00:30:29,559
Yeah, I'm looking for a murderer.

466
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:30,610
Well,

467
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,900
then, shouldn't you be working on it?
Why come to us?

468
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,800
I didn't come to you. I came to the
Macon Dolls.

469
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:39,890
I'm sorry.

470
00:30:43,100 --> 00:30:44,150
Starshine sisters.

471
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,940
It was an honest mistake. I apologize.

472
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:52,240
Oh, what did the making dolls have to do
with all this anyway?

473
00:30:52,700 --> 00:30:55,360
Well, nothing that I can prove yet.

474
00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:00,019
But I just want to have a face -to -face
confrontation with them and see what

475
00:31:00,020 --> 00:31:01,140
kind of reaction I get.

476
00:31:02,900 --> 00:31:05,660
Well, sorry to interrupt you.

477
00:31:07,420 --> 00:31:08,470
Starshine sisters.

478
00:31:09,620 --> 00:31:10,780
Had a nice ring to it.

479
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,580
Ruby, if he finds out we were the making
dolls... We just did.

480
00:31:21,380 --> 00:31:22,430
Oh.

481
00:31:22,820 --> 00:31:24,620
Then we better get rid of those coins.

482
00:31:24,940 --> 00:31:28,220
We got a whole lot more than that,
Pearl. A whole lot more.

483
00:31:28,221 --> 00:31:30,239
Remember them. You kidding?

484
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,470
You don't see two chicks like that every
day.

485
00:31:33,140 --> 00:31:34,190
This is it.

486
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,100
This is their car. This is the one I
parked for them.

487
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,840
It's the prettiest wreck I ever saw.

488
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,300
Maybe they borrowed it from somebody.

489
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,680
Maybe they came into some money
suddenly.

490
00:31:53,500 --> 00:31:56,760
Bought it at Royal Motors today.

491
00:31:57,180 --> 00:31:58,500
Did they say who bought it?

492
00:31:58,660 --> 00:32:01,440
No. Well, it shouldn't be too hard to
find out.

493
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,760
I hope I'm not disturbing anything.

494
00:32:25,300 --> 00:32:27,980
No, I was just watching something on the
tube.

495
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:29,490
Oh.

496
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:35,319
Well, Harley showed me where you lived
once, and I just...

497
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:41,599
Well, to tell you the truth, Lester,
after what happened to Harley, I just

498
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,300
need to be with someone.

499
00:32:45,500 --> 00:32:47,800
You can understand that, can't you,
Lester?

500
00:32:48,460 --> 00:32:49,510
Sure can.

501
00:32:49,511 --> 00:32:55,759
A private detective around asking
questions about June Harley.

502
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:56,810
It was?

503
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:58,800
What'd you tell him?

504
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,120
Well, almost nothing.

505
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:01,460
I didn't know anything.

506
00:33:01,980 --> 00:33:04,270
Oh, well, probably wasn't important
anyway.

507
00:33:06,140 --> 00:33:12,600
My, you got a real cozy place here,
Lester.

508
00:33:12,820 --> 00:33:14,940
The kind of place girls feel home in.

509
00:33:15,380 --> 00:33:17,220
I bet a lot of them have.

510
00:33:18,260 --> 00:33:19,310
Not many.

511
00:33:19,900 --> 00:33:24,670
Oh, now, that's... It's hard to believe
a nice -looking fella like you.

512
00:33:26,030 --> 00:33:27,080
Get a beer?

513
00:33:27,110 --> 00:33:28,790
I bought a six -pack on the way home.

514
00:33:29,030 --> 00:33:31,210
You are so cute.

515
00:33:32,130 --> 00:33:34,390
But I got a better idea.

516
00:33:35,110 --> 00:33:37,510
Why don't we go out someplace?

517
00:33:38,050 --> 00:33:41,190
You know, hear some music, have some
fun.

518
00:33:41,810 --> 00:33:45,210
I mean, we can always come back here
later.

519
00:33:45,450 --> 00:33:46,500
I got you some place.

520
00:33:47,090 --> 00:33:48,710
What are we waiting for?

521
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:50,560
Let me turn off the TV.

522
00:33:53,780 --> 00:34:00,619
You're the last person I expected to

523
00:34:00,620 --> 00:34:01,860
be knocking at my door.

524
00:34:02,060 --> 00:34:05,680
Oh, life's road is full of unexpected
turns, Lester.

525
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:14,400
This is Joy?

526
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:20,709
Yeah. I knew from the day I saw you that
you and I were made. Oh, Lester, you're

527
00:34:20,710 --> 00:34:21,760
such a wuss.

528
00:35:17,170 --> 00:35:18,770
Service manager, line one.

529
00:35:19,290 --> 00:35:21,170
Service manager, line one.

530
00:35:21,610 --> 00:35:26,209
Here it is, Mr. Jones. That car was
registered to a Miss Pearl Connors, 3241

531
00:35:26,210 --> 00:35:27,530
Nichols Drive, Hollywood.

532
00:35:28,870 --> 00:35:30,730
What about the new car? Same address?

533
00:35:30,731 --> 00:35:34,329
Oh, yeah, but they wanted both their
names on the registration this time,

534
00:35:34,330 --> 00:35:35,380
and Ruby Connors.

535
00:35:35,670 --> 00:35:36,870
How did they finance it?

536
00:35:37,150 --> 00:35:41,469
Oh, it was something you don't see too
much of anymore, Mr. Jones. Cold, hard

537
00:35:41,470 --> 00:35:43,910
cash. $4 ,600 worth.

538
00:35:53,420 --> 00:35:57,939
The owner of the Red Crow identified
these pictures, and he is positive

539
00:35:57,940 --> 00:35:58,990
the Macon Dolls.

540
00:35:59,541 --> 00:36:02,479
Here's a girl who bought the car.

541
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,660
Yeah, if that's them, all right. Mr.
Barnaby Jones, line one.

542
00:36:05,661 --> 00:36:07,999
Oh, you can take the phone in the
office, Mr. Jones.

543
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,320
Mr. Barnaby Jones, line one.

544
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,150
Boy, they're really something, aren't
they?

545
00:36:13,240 --> 00:36:15,060
Real killers.

546
00:36:15,500 --> 00:36:16,550
Yeah.

547
00:36:16,940 --> 00:36:17,990
Yeah.

548
00:36:19,811 --> 00:36:26,919
Barnaby, I just heard from Lieutenant
Biddle. Yeah, I was just about to call

549
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,320
him. Things are beginning to fall into
place.

550
00:36:29,660 --> 00:36:33,559
Well, according to him, the puzzle is
already solved. The police arrested a

551
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:35,759
suspect in Dunbar's murder early this
morning.

552
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,740
Who was it? A young mechanic by the name
of Lester Gibson.

553
00:36:39,220 --> 00:36:42,560
It seems there was a fire in his trailer
late last night.

554
00:36:42,820 --> 00:36:46,899
And from what I can gather, the arson
investigators discovered the Dunbar

555
00:36:46,900 --> 00:36:50,000
collection stuffed behind a seat
partition.

556
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:51,860
So what do you know about that?

557
00:36:54,990 --> 00:36:57,390
Mr. Jones, I've never hurt anybody in my
life.

558
00:36:58,150 --> 00:37:01,610
I've never even met this Dunbar, or
whatever his name is.

559
00:37:02,430 --> 00:37:06,790
According to Lieutenant Biddle, the
police think that you killed Harley,

560
00:37:07,350 --> 00:37:08,400
Why would I do that?

561
00:37:08,401 --> 00:37:12,169
Well, Lester, the way they figure it is
you and Harley followed Ruby and Pearl

562
00:37:12,170 --> 00:37:14,189
when they left the Red Crow with Harry
Dunbar.

563
00:37:14,190 --> 00:37:16,469
And you waited outside his house till
they left.

564
00:37:16,470 --> 00:37:20,589
You went inside, you killed him, stole
his coin collection, and then later on,

565
00:37:20,590 --> 00:37:23,309
you and Harley had a falling out over
the coin collection, so you killed him,

566
00:37:23,310 --> 00:37:24,480
too. It's a lie.

567
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,050
Holly and I never went anyplace with
each other.

568
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,540
I only saw him at work.

569
00:37:29,541 --> 00:37:31,459
How'd the coins get in your trailer?

570
00:37:31,460 --> 00:37:33,760
I don't know. I've never seen the coins.

571
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,650
Did Holly's two girlfriends know where
you live?

572
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,170
One sure did.

573
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:45,419
Last night I was watching television and
Pearl, that was her name, came by and

574
00:37:45,420 --> 00:37:47,019
asked me to take her out for a drink.

575
00:37:47,020 --> 00:37:49,520
So we went out to the little bar and had
a few beers.

576
00:37:50,020 --> 00:37:52,910
And when I got back, the firemen and the
police were there.

577
00:37:56,830 --> 00:37:58,970
Wasn't arrested for murder.

578
00:37:59,530 --> 00:38:00,950
I never killed anybody.

579
00:38:01,830 --> 00:38:02,990
I swear it.

580
00:38:03,250 --> 00:38:05,950
Miss Pearl came in. What about her
sister Ruby?

581
00:38:06,150 --> 00:38:07,200
Never saw her.

582
00:38:10,770 --> 00:38:12,210
Pearl says she liked me.

583
00:38:14,710 --> 00:38:18,490
Says she needed someone like me to take
care of her.

584
00:38:19,710 --> 00:38:22,600
Well, so far, Lester, you've been doing
a pretty good job.

585
00:38:42,060 --> 00:38:43,680
But I still think it can be better.

586
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:48,279
Let's take a break for lunch and be back
here in an hour. Lou, I still want more

587
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:49,860
bass. Get my purse.

588
00:38:50,740 --> 00:38:52,100
Man, that sure was pretty.

589
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:53,760
You Ruby and Pearl Connors?

590
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:55,160
Who wants to know?

591
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,890
I don't see anybody else around here
asking, so it must be me.

592
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,530
Well, we're in a hurry. Well, I got a
little message for you here.

593
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,680
I think you better take a look at it.

594
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:09,570
You girls coming?

595
00:39:12,650 --> 00:39:13,850
We'll meet you back here.

596
00:39:16,090 --> 00:39:17,590
What is this supposed to mean?

597
00:39:17,870 --> 00:39:19,070
Well, now, that depends.

598
00:39:19,490 --> 00:39:22,080
To a collector, this thing here is a
thing of beauty.

599
00:39:22,990 --> 00:39:25,230
To a dealer, it's a way of making a fast
buck.

600
00:39:25,231 --> 00:39:29,129
But to a friend of mine named Harley
Nelson, it was a way of getting himself

601
00:39:29,130 --> 00:39:31,330
killed. You knew Harley?

602
00:39:31,331 --> 00:39:32,529
Like a brother.

603
00:39:32,530 --> 00:39:33,580
Who are you?

604
00:39:33,650 --> 00:39:34,700
Tom Morgan.

605
00:39:34,830 --> 00:39:37,490
Well, he never told me anything about
you.

606
00:39:37,730 --> 00:39:40,810
Well, maybe not, but he sure told me a
lot about you, Pearl.

607
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:42,840
And your sister Ruby there.

608
00:39:43,060 --> 00:39:44,110
Like what?

609
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:48,619
Oh, like how you picked up this guy at a
bar and you killed him and you stole

610
00:39:48,620 --> 00:39:49,599
his coin collection.

611
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,100
He told you, didn't he?

612
00:39:51,940 --> 00:39:56,599
Dear God, that boy had some imagination,
didn't he? Oh, yeah, don't you know it.

613
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,259
He had imagination that wouldn't quit.

614
00:39:58,260 --> 00:39:59,740
You didn't believe me.

615
00:40:00,140 --> 00:40:01,800
No, I didn't believe him, no.

616
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:06,580
Not until he met with a little accident.
And then I began to wonder, you see.

617
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,780
And so I went to see Lester.

618
00:40:09,060 --> 00:40:10,700
Oh, you went to see Lester.

619
00:40:10,701 --> 00:40:11,739
Mm -hmm.

620
00:40:11,740 --> 00:40:16,820
Late last night, and just as I got
there, you were leaving with him, Pearl.

621
00:40:17,220 --> 00:40:20,240
And then I saw something that just blew
my mind.

622
00:40:20,540 --> 00:40:27,159
What? Well, you, Ruby, you went inside
the trailer, you see, and you hid the

623
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:30,919
coin collection behind this sort of seat
thing, and then you started a little

624
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,319
bit of a fire, but it wasn't a very good
fire, because I managed to sneak inside

625
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:38,400
and take the coin collection out from
behind the seat thing, and...

626
00:40:39,550 --> 00:40:40,600
There it is, see?

627
00:40:40,910 --> 00:40:46,490
Ruby, I think it's time we told this
handsome young man the truth.

628
00:40:46,770 --> 00:40:49,990
I can't hold it in anymore.

629
00:40:52,890 --> 00:40:54,970
This is going to hurt you, Tom.

630
00:40:56,030 --> 00:41:00,810
But Harley killed Dunbar and Lester
helped him.

631
00:41:01,590 --> 00:41:07,109
Of course, we didn't know anything about
it until Harley gave me the coins as a

632
00:41:07,110 --> 00:41:08,160
present.

633
00:41:08,330 --> 00:41:13,490
But that made Lester mad, and they had
this terrible fight.

634
00:41:14,690 --> 00:41:20,250
Maybe it was Lester what dropped that
old car on Harley.

635
00:41:22,730 --> 00:41:24,570
That's the honest truth, Tom.

636
00:41:24,930 --> 00:41:25,980
Wow.

637
00:41:27,030 --> 00:41:30,450
Well, you sure make it hard not to
believe you, Pearl.

638
00:41:31,130 --> 00:41:36,589
Except for one little thing. See, now,
the night that Dunbar was killed, you

639
00:41:36,590 --> 00:41:37,640
see,

640
00:41:38,110 --> 00:41:40,630
Harley and I played poker till sunup.

641
00:41:45,430 --> 00:41:46,650
What do you want, Tom?

642
00:41:48,290 --> 00:41:52,009
Well, let's see. How's 50 % of
everything you make now, Dad? Like

643
00:41:52,010 --> 00:41:53,510
robbery, but you got a deal.

644
00:41:53,850 --> 00:41:55,230
Well, now, just a second now.

645
00:41:55,590 --> 00:41:58,600
How do I know I can trust you two after
what you did to Harley?

646
00:41:58,630 --> 00:42:00,470
We had good reason for that.

647
00:42:00,810 --> 00:42:05,609
After Harley found out we'd accidentally
killed Dunbar, he tried to blackmail me

648
00:42:05,610 --> 00:42:06,850
into marrying him.

649
00:42:07,180 --> 00:42:11,140
He wanted me to go to Albuquerque with
him and run a garage.

650
00:42:11,540 --> 00:42:13,240
Can't you just picture that?

651
00:42:13,580 --> 00:42:16,340
Shut up. We had to kill him, don't you
see?

652
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:21,279
He couldn't understand. He just could
never understand that Ruby and me were

653
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:22,330
born to sing.

654
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,980
Pearl. I think Harley was wrong, Pearl.

655
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:26,820
You sang real good.

656
00:42:27,300 --> 00:42:28,620
I got it all on tape.

657
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:31,490
That's it, girls.

658
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:34,690
No, it isn't.

659
00:42:37,130 --> 00:42:39,480
Mr. Jones, you just bring that tape on
down here.

660
00:42:40,670 --> 00:42:41,720
I'm not fooling.

661
00:42:48,670 --> 00:42:49,720
Hurry it up.

662
00:42:57,950 --> 00:43:02,270
Now, Pearl, you go up there and get that
tape and get his gun.

663
00:43:04,070 --> 00:43:05,120
Uh -oh.

664
00:43:10,609 --> 00:43:13,139
Could you please unbutton your jacket,
Mr. Jones?

665
00:44:19,720 --> 00:44:20,770
Don't do it again.

666
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:24,050
Don't even try.

667
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:33,130
Tom?

668
00:44:34,220 --> 00:44:39,240
Tommy, that was sure a mean trick you
played on us. That's J .R.

669
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:43,540
Well, as Mama used to say, a honeysuckle
by any other name.

670
00:44:44,900 --> 00:44:48,620
Ruby and me, we're going to need the
best lawyer in town.

671
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,919
We were wondering if you'd like to
invest in our new record to help us pay

672
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:54,970
it.

673
00:44:54,971 --> 00:44:58,639
Well, Pearl, somehow I get the feeling
that even the best lawyer in the country

674
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:00,380
isn't going to charge you very much.

675
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:01,980
I sure hope you're right.

676
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,800
Always needed somebody to take care of
us.

677
00:45:11,331 --> 00:45:17,769
Well, Barnaby, you really think they're
going to get away with it?

678
00:45:17,770 --> 00:45:23,289
Not a chance in a million yet, but I
sure wouldn't want to be serving on that

679
00:45:23,290 --> 00:45:24,339
jury.
