00:00Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went to the police academy.
00:06Two in Los Angeles.
00:13The other in San Francisco.
00:16And they were each assigned very hazardous duties.
00:22But I took them away from all that.
00:25And now they work for me.
00:27My name is Charlie.
01:58Paul.
02:00We gotta talk to you.
02:02Okay.
02:03It's important, Paul.
02:05I'm gonna get a cup of coffee. Why don't you come on in?
02:08See if we can get them frowns off your faces.
02:11We won't have time for that.
02:18Paul, this is Mr. Dressler.
02:22Why the gun, Mr. Dressler?
02:24You better come with us, Sheriff. Something you should see.
02:29Tom, what the devil's going on?
02:31I think you better do as he says.
02:36You drive, Sheriff.
02:54Bosley Level with us.
03:13Are you actually picking up the tab for the whole three days in Arizona?
03:17Food and lodging?
03:18Well, no, not actually.
03:20Charlie's paying for this little western vacation.
03:23Personally, I feel his actions are dangerously generous.
03:28Meaning he'll spoil us?
03:30Meaning that a smart detective is a hungry detective.
03:35What about a thirsty detective, Bosley?
03:37Oh, yes. His reckless actions also include beverages as well.
03:42Milk?
03:43No, no. Dom Perignon champagne, if you like.
03:47Oh.
03:48That is, provided we can find it in this distant village wherein your aunt and uncle hold forth.
03:55Bosley, they don't hold forth. They endure.
03:58My Uncle Paul has been Sheriff here since he retired from the Phoenix Police Force.
04:02And my Aunt Lydia is the mayor, no less.
04:05Or is it mayoress, no less.
04:08You mean she's really the chief honcho, as they say?
04:12Yep. She was elected about three months ago by a margin of 33 votes.
04:18Very near a margin.
04:20That when you consider that there are 63 voters in the district.
04:23Oh.
04:24Sixty-three?
04:26Well, then we are going into the wilderness.
04:29It's not the wilderness, Bosley.
04:32No, actually, it's sort of a retreat for the older set.
04:38Older set?
04:40Mm-hmm.
04:41I would say that the average age is about 60.
04:45Oh, wonderful.
04:47Well, you said you wanted to get a lot of rest.
04:50You really took us at our word, too, didn't you?
04:54We interrupt our program to bring you some local news.
04:57It seems that the tiny village of Palin in the Mahonka Mountains
05:00will host a national celebrity of sorts for a day or two.
05:03Listen, here's that news thing about Uncle Paul.
05:07The nationwide manhunt for syndicate strongman George Camaras
05:10ended this morning when three forest rangers accidentally came upon Camaras
05:14hiding out in a remote mountain cabin at a place called Cave Rock.
05:18Cave Rock? Uncle Paul and I hiked up there.
05:21Oh, whee!
05:24Oh, can I be?
05:25Is that what you're calling?
05:27Listen, listen.
05:28The rangers are bringing Camaras out of the mountains to the Palin substation
05:32where Sheriff Danvers will hold him
05:34until the FBI can arrange transportation for Camaras back to Washington, D.C.
05:38Camaras, of course, is due to testify
05:40before the Justice Department Organized Crime Commission.
05:44And now back to our program.
05:46Big doings in Palin.
05:48Step on it, Bosley.
05:50Oh, right on.
05:52Right on.
05:54Into the wilderness!
06:02Waaah!
06:07Waaah!
06:11Waaah!
06:13Waaah!
06:15Waaah!
06:17Waaah!
06:19Waaah!
06:21Waaah!
06:23Waaah!
06:25Waaah!
06:27Waaah!
06:30Waaah!
06:38All right, get out.
06:52Who are they, man?
06:54It'll all be explained to you when you get on the bus.
06:56It'll be explained to me now!
06:58What I have in mind will work whether you're on that bus or lying dead here.
07:02Don't push your luck.
07:06Exactly what is it you have in mind?
07:09Like I said, it'll all be explained to you when you get on the bus.
07:13Move, old man.
07:28Thank you.
07:38I've told you what to do. Now get to it.
07:59We are now entering Palin, Arizona, population 87.
08:07Looks like the river's down.
08:13Boy, this brings back memories.
08:19Palin Manor, one of the two great hotels in town.
08:24Palin Manor, one of the two great hotels in town.
08:29Now we're in downtown.
08:31Now we're in downtown.
08:52Well, you know, it looks actually civilized.
08:54Okay, we're gonna go see Uncle Paul, then we'll go to Aunt Lydia's,
08:57then we'll check into the hotel.
08:59Absolutely nothing.
09:04I'll have to call you back.
09:11Howdy.
09:12Fellows, right? Ed Fellows.
09:15Do I know you?
09:16My name's Chris Monroe. I'm Sheriff Danvers' niece.
09:19Oh, oh.
09:20You know, my uncle wrote me a while back.
09:22He said the county was sending him a deputy.
09:24You started two months ago, right?
09:26Yeah, that's right, two months ago.
09:28Uncle Paul has said some nice things about you.
09:30Thank you. I appreciate that.
09:32Oh, I'm sorry. These are my friends.
09:34Kelly Garrett, Sabrina Duncan.
09:36Hi.
09:37John Bosley.
09:38Hi.
09:39You really have me at a disadvantage.
09:42Your uncle told you about me, but he didn't tell me about you.
09:46Oh. Well, we're from the Towson Agency, and we're here on a few days' vacation.
09:50Oh, models.
09:52No, detectives.
09:54You're all detectives?
09:56Well, actually, we're strictly tourists for the next few days.
09:59Oh.
10:00Do you have any idea where my uncle Paul is?
10:02Uh, not exactly.
10:03He said he was going to get a cup of coffee about two hours ago, and I haven't seen him since.
10:08Hmm. Well, maybe we should go by my Aunt Lydia's.
10:11Maybe he stopped there.
10:12Uh, no. No, I don't think he was going home.
10:15Well, that's all right. I want to see my Aunt Lydia anyway.
10:18Listen, we have reservations at the Village Inn.
10:20So if, when you see the sheriff, will you tell him that he can reach us there?
10:23Village Inn. Right. I'll tell him.
10:25Thanks. Bye-bye. Bye.
10:31Well, Aunt Lydia's is just around the corner. We might as well walk.
10:34Okay.
10:56No, no, no. I cannot agree.
10:59It's completely out of the question.
11:01Now, I don't see how you can even consider...
11:04We just cannot let this community...
11:08Well, it's about time I saw a friendly face.
11:11Chris!
11:12Hi, Aunt Lydia.
11:13How are you?
11:14Well, I'm... I'm fine.
11:17What are you doing here?
11:20What am I doing here?
11:22Well, I'm here to see you.
11:24Oh.
11:25I'm here to see you.
11:27I'm here to see you.
11:29I'm here to see you.
11:31I'm here to see you.
11:33I'm here to see you.
11:35What am I doing here?
11:37I talked to Uncle Paul this morning. Didn't he tell you?
11:40No, he didn't.
11:42Well, I called him two hours ago at the office.
11:45Well, I... I haven't seen him since he left the house this morning.
11:49Oh. Well, that explains it.
11:52Oh, come on in. Come on.
11:54Hi.
11:55Thank you.
11:57Hi.
11:58Aunt Lydia, these are the people I told you about,
12:00the people I work with and my friends.
12:02This is Kelly, John Bosley, Sabrina Duncan.
12:04Nice to meet you.
12:05You do.
12:06You got the coffee pot on?
12:08Yes. Oh, come in.
12:11This is Joe Weatherby and Tom Mills.
12:16Hello. How are you?
12:17How do you do?
12:18I hope we're not interrupting anything.
12:20Well, we're having a...
12:23a minor community crisis of sorts.
12:27Well, nothing serious, I hope.
12:29Oh, no.
12:31It's just that...
12:33well, when one is mayor,
12:36one has to handle all sorts of problems.
12:39It is time-consuming.
12:42Uh, Chris and her friends are detectives
12:46who work in Los Angeles.
12:48Detectives?
12:49You mean police detectives?
12:52No, private investigators.
12:55What brings you here?
12:57Oh, just a little rest and relaxation.
13:00Oh. Oh, well, that's nice.
13:06Uh, well, listen.
13:08You all seem pretty busy,
13:10and, you know, we haven't even checked into the hotel yet.
13:13So, um, I think maybe we should do that,
13:15and I'll call you later, let you know where we are,
13:18and maybe we can get together and have some dinner, okay?
13:20Yes, that would be fine.
13:22Fine?
13:23I'm sorry, we...
13:24Nice to meet you. Excuse us.
13:26Bye.
13:30Nice to meet you. We'll see you later.
13:32Thank you.
13:33Bye-bye.
13:36Oh!
13:39What next?
13:43Your aunt seems like a very nice lady.
13:45She sure does.
13:46Ah, she's lovely.
13:47She sure seemed upset, though.
13:49Well, I guess being mayor isn't easy,
13:51even if it is a little village.
13:53I suppose so.
13:54Listen, being in any executive position can be difficult.
13:57Believe me, I know.
13:59You know, Bosley, I think you're right.
14:02You're actually beginning to look stoop-shouldered
14:05from the weight of executive decision-making.
14:07You really mean that?
14:09Are they back now?
14:18Hi.
14:19Good morning.
14:20We had reservations for four singles.
14:22The name's Monroe.
14:24I don't believe so.
14:26What do you mean?
14:28I mean, uh,
14:30I have no reservation under the name Monroe.
14:34Well, I thought you called.
14:36I did. I called this morning.
14:38I talked to a man.
14:40I'm sorry. I own this place.
14:43I'm the only man here,
14:45and I have no such reservations.
14:48And besides, we're all booked up.
14:51This is crazy.
14:53I made a reservation.
14:55Okay, okay, so somebody made a mistake.
14:57We'll stay somewhere else.
14:59I mean, there is another hotel, isn't there?
15:01Yeah, there's one, the Palin Manor.
15:03Great, good, then no problem.
15:05Let's go. Thanks.
15:07Uh, sorry about the mix-up.
15:18Give me the Palin Manor.
15:28Well, Palin Manor's about two blocks down the street.
15:32It's not exactly four stars, but it'll do.
15:34Okay.
15:35Thanks.
15:36Let's keep going.
15:41Hi there.
15:42Mind your uncle?
15:44Uh, no.
15:46What, uh, what happened to my headlight?
15:49I was, uh, just about to ask you the same question.
15:52Looks like somebody backed into you.
15:54Looks like somebody backed into you.
15:56Probably a flatbed truck.
15:58I don't think so.
15:59No?
16:00Well, no, a truck that wide wouldn't have a bed that low,
16:03and there's not a dent on the fender or the bumper.
16:05Looks like somebody just knocked them out.
16:08Well, I suppose that's possible.
16:11Could have happened last night, maybe.
16:13No.
16:14No, I can't buy that.
16:15I would have noticed it when I got in my car this morning.
16:17Sometimes you notice these things, sometimes you don't.
16:19Well, one of us would have noticed it
16:21before we left Los Angeles this morning.
16:23Which means it happened after we got here.
16:25Well, I suppose that's possible, too.
16:27We get a lot of transient kids through here.
16:29There's been some vandalism.
16:31Oh, that's terrific, and a wonderful way to start a vacation.
16:34Oh, Bosley.
16:35Yeah, that's, uh, that's really too bad.
16:38Say, uh, why don't you take the Bill's station?
16:41He can probably get him fixed up for you.
16:43Okay, well, we might as well all hop in the car
16:45because the hotel's right across the street from Bill's.
16:47Kelly and I will get us some rooms,
16:49and you guys can get the car fixed.
16:51I'm, uh, really sorry about this.
16:53No problem. Well, it's not your fault.
16:55Keep an eye out for my uncle, will you?
16:57I'll let you know the minute I see him.
16:59Thanks.
17:09Well, what is it?
17:11They're tourists.
17:13Tourists, just like they said.
17:15But they are detectives.
17:17Private detectives.
17:19This wouldn't bother me except for the one who keeps asking for her uncle.
17:22Sooner or later, she's gonna get suspicious,
17:24and then all of them are gonna get suspicious.
17:28Don't worry.
17:30If they don't leave, they'll put them out of the way.
17:35It's a little extreme, isn't it?
17:37Considering the larger picture, it's nothing.
17:41Let's hope they leave.
17:43Let's hope.
17:50Thank you.
18:01Well, it's only for three days.
18:06Oh, well, hello again.
18:08Hi. Mr. Weatherby, right?
18:11Yes. What can I do for you?
18:13Well, what you can do is you can give us some rooms.
18:16Oh, rooms.
18:18I'd love to help you out, but I'm afraid we're all full up.
18:23Well, your vacancy sign is still on.
18:26Oh, yeah, so it is.
18:29Tutty just can't get good help these days.
18:32Now, that night clerk, he should have turned that no sign on last night when we filled up.
18:36Well, is there another hotel nearby?
18:38Well, there's Marble Mountain Lodge about 30 miles back down the road.
18:44That's all?
18:46Sorry.
18:49Okay. Thanks.
18:52Oh, listen, by the way, when you were at my Aunt Lydia's house,
18:56had my Uncle Paul called or anything?
18:58Oh, yes, that's right. He called. He had to go down the mountain.
19:02Down the mountain? How come?
19:04Well, I really... auto accident, I think.
19:07He's gonna be gone for some time.
19:09Actually, if you head on down the mountain, you might see him on the road.
19:13Yeah. Thanks.
19:23You think they believed you?
19:25Let's hope they did. For their sake.
19:31They're here now.
19:33Yes, I will.
19:35I told you I would.
19:43Hi there. Hello.
19:45Help you? Yeah, we got a minor tragedy here.
19:49Ah. Somebody back into you, huh?
19:52Yeah. Somebody back into us.
19:56Well, I don't think I can help you.
19:59Why do you say that?
20:01Well, I'll have to check my stock, but I'm pretty sure I don't carry these kind of lights.
20:06I'll just be a minute. Yeah.
20:08Yeah. Very nervous fellow.
20:11Hello?
20:19How'd we do?
20:21Negative. No room.
20:23I mean, the vacancy light was on.
20:25The night clerk forgot to turn the light off.
20:27I'm afraid I can't do you much good either.
20:29You mean you don't keep these lights in stock?
20:31Sorry.
20:32Well, is there another station around here?
20:34No. Afraid not.
20:36I'm not surprised to hear that.
20:38Well, you see, I just mostly just pump gas.
20:42See, the wife and I just came up here a while back to sort of semi-retire.
20:46Don't do much repair work, which is why my stock supply ain't much.
20:50You understand? Yeah.
20:52We understand.
20:54I'm really sorry.
20:56You got no place to stay.
20:58You can't drive out of here at night with no headlights.
21:00Kind of ruins your whole day, don't it?
21:02Yeah, kind of does.
21:04Well, like I say, I'm really sorry.
21:07Yeah. Okay.
21:10What's nagging at you, Bree?
21:12I don't know. Something strange.
21:14I know what it is. They misnamed this town.
21:17They should have called it Bad Luck City.
21:19We have really had a string of bad luck.
21:21I don't think so.
21:23What do you mean?
21:24I don't know, but I agree with Bree.
21:26There's something very strange going on here.
21:29At the risk of sounding paranoid, I don't think we're wanted here.
21:32Well, that's crazy. Is it?
21:34Chris, you phoned your uncle, told him you were on your way.
21:37When we get here, he's disappeared.
21:39Suddenly, there's no place in town to stay.
21:41Our headlights are mysteriously broken.
21:44They subtly tell us to drive back down the mountain before dark,
21:47meaning now. I got it.
21:49You got what? There are no women.
21:51What does that mean?
21:53It means there are no women here.
21:55Chris, you said that this was a retirement community for elderly couples, right?
21:59Look at that. It's a whole bunch of men,
22:01but I haven't seen a woman since we got here.
22:05So what are we supposed to do about that?
22:07I don't know.
22:09Maybe they're all inside at a bake-off or something,
22:11but it seems a little funny to me.
22:13What do you think? Does it seem strange to you?
22:16You know the place. It's your uncle.
22:18Real strange. What should we do?
22:21I think we better ask my Aunt Lydia some questions.
22:34I don't know.
22:50Listen, it's me again.
22:52I did just what you told me, but they're beginning to figure it out.
22:56How? What did you tell them?
22:58I didn't tell them anything. I did exactly what you told me.
23:01Look, they're going over to the mayor's house.
23:03You've got to believe me.
23:05Just great.
23:07What's wrong? I get suspicious.
23:11Listen, it's all going to go down pretty soon,
23:13and I'm not about to let them screw it up.
23:15Where are they now?
23:17On their way to the old lady's house.
23:19Okay, that does it. Let's go.
23:21All right.
23:31All right.
24:01Come on.
24:28Aunt Lydia doesn't want to see us.
24:30She's going to.
24:37There must be somebody there.
24:40Try again.
24:44Never mind.
24:53Aunt Lydia, we have to talk to you.
24:56What's wrong?
24:59I think you should tell us what's wrong.
25:03I don't know what you mean.
25:05Where's Uncle Paul?
25:07He's down the mountain.
25:10We don't think so.
25:12Mrs. Danvers, we know something's wrong.
25:14There is nothing wrong.
25:17Believe me.
25:19Aunt Lydia, we know each other too well.
25:23Chris, please.
25:25Mrs. Danvers, maybe we can help you.
25:28You can't help.
25:30You're just being here,
25:33being who you are, asking questions.
25:36It endangers all of us.
25:39But why? What's going on?
25:42I can't tell you.
25:44But you've got to leave.
25:46We're not going anywhere until you tell us what's happening.
25:50Hey, look out!
25:58Look out!
26:28He's dead.
26:59Aunt Lydia, who were those men?
27:02Who were they?
27:04You don't know what you've done.
27:06Why were they shooting at us?
27:08You just don't know what you've done.
27:13They're both dead.
27:17Oh, my God.
27:19You just killed Uncle Paul.
27:24Killed Uncle Paul and others.
27:30What are you saying?
27:33You're not making any sense.
27:38Mrs. Danvers, what do you mean?
27:41Please, if we're going to help you, you've got to trust us.
27:49All right.
27:51See there?
27:53It was a man, a prisoner,
27:56being brought here today by the Forestry Service people.
28:01Yeah, you mean George Camaras.
28:04We already know about it.
28:07We heard about it on the radio.
28:09What about Camaras?
28:11Well, those two men out there
28:16and three others
28:19kidnapped your Uncle Paul.
28:22It was this morning.
28:24It must have been right after you telephoned.
28:27And then they killed Deputy Fellows.
28:32That wasn't Fellows?
28:34Listen, they killed Deputy Fellows
28:37and they took his uniform and they took over his office
28:42and those two men stayed in the office.
28:46And the other three took your Uncle Paul on a bus
28:52and most of the women in the village.
28:55Why? What did they want?
28:58They wanted the prisoner that the Forestry people were going to bring here today.
29:03Camaras?
29:05Yes, they wanted to get him out of the country
29:08before the FBI people came here to pick him up.
29:11You mean if they deliver Camaras, they'll return the hostages?
29:15Yes.
29:18Well, it seems that we've stumbled into a very high-level operation.
29:23It also seems like we'd rather mess things up.
29:26Well, you... it wasn't your fault.
29:31You... you couldn't have known.
29:35Yes, it was our fault.
29:37But we could fix it. I know we could fix it.
29:40No.
29:44You couldn't.
29:47It's not possible.
29:49Why? Why isn't it possible?
29:53Because when the three men took your Uncle Paul,
29:57they took one of his portable radio units
30:01and unless that man out there called them by 4 o'clock,
30:10they had instructions to destroy the bus and everybody on it.
30:20No wonder this whole town is so terrified.
30:26Mrs. Danvers, where have they taken the bus?
30:30We don't know.
30:33We... we know nothing about it.
30:35That's why I've been doing exactly what they told us to do.
30:38But 4 o'clock, that's less than two hours away.
30:41And how many square miles of wilderness area to cover?
30:44Too many.
30:46Unless...
30:47Unless what?
30:48Wait a minute, you said they had one of Uncle Paul's portable radio units, right?
30:53And you have one of Uncle Paul's other radio units here?
30:57Yes, we always keep one for emergency.
31:00Okay, Aunt Lydia, do you have some old clothes?
31:05Old clothes?
31:07Yes.
31:09Why?
31:10Go get them.
31:28Pull over here, boss.
31:35Pull over here.
31:48Okay, wish me luck.
31:51Yeah, do your thing.
31:53Okay, Big Uncle, this is sweet Christmas.
31:56This is sweet Christmas, Big Uncle.
31:58You read me, honey?
32:00Big Uncle, this is sweet Christmas.
32:02This is sweet Christmas, Big Uncle. Do you read me?
32:05If you read me, honey, come and ask out there in Radio Land.
32:07Let me know you're there, sweetheart.
32:09Hey, Big Uncle, I need to hear your sweet, loving voice.
32:12Do you read me?
32:14What the devil is that?
32:16I don't know. CB air, I guess.
32:19What?
32:20CB, Citizens Band Radio.
32:22There's a ton of something around here.
32:24Hey, Big Uncle, it's sweet Christmas.
32:27I'm pushing me a semi-truck full of grapefruits down to Tucson.
32:30You out there, Big Uncle?
32:33CB air, all right.
32:35What are you talking about, old man?
32:37Citizens Band operates on different frequencies.
32:39How could she get on your radio?
32:42It's impossible.
32:44It's possible.
32:46Up here in the mountains, the signal bounces a lot.
32:49And splits.
32:52Get what they call rare monics.
32:55Come on in. This is sweet Christmas. Do you read me, Big Uncle?
32:58You out there?
33:00What does sweet Christmas mean?
33:02Well, that was our nickname for her when she was little.
33:04When she visited us in Phoenix.
33:07Go ahead.
33:09Hey, Big Uncle, you sly old fox.
33:11You haven't forgotten sweet Christmas now, have you?
33:13Or maybe you're trying to forget me on account of you don't want Big Mama to catch you playing around.
33:18Well, now, sweet Christmas is just gonna stay cool.
33:20And I'm just gonna keep at you until you let me know you're out there.
33:24Come on, you out there, Big Uncle? Let me know you're out there.
33:27Could she hear transmissions that we get or make?
33:31Not if I tell her to get off the frequency.
33:34Then do it.
33:36You be careful.
33:39Sweet Christmas.
33:41This is Sheriff Paul Danvers of the Palin Sheriff's Station.
33:45You read me?
33:46Sheriff who?
33:47Sheriff Danvers.
33:49And I'm here to tell you that you're using an illegal frequency.
33:55Oh, I'm using 940 kilocycles. Isn't that what I'm supposed to be using?
34:00Well, you're probably getting a 1640 bounce off Mill Mountain.
34:08I don't understand that, Sheriff. Can you clarify that for me?
34:13I'm saying you should pay attention to the 1640 bounce off of Mill Mountain.
34:191640.
34:21The only thing you can do to stay out of trouble is just to shift frequency.
34:26You understand what I'm saying, missus?
34:28Or do you want me to slap a fine on you?
34:31I hear what you're saying there, Sheriff.
34:33And you won't have no more trouble with Sweet Christmas.
34:36So I'll catch you on the flip-flop, 10-4.
34:41Good.
34:421640, that's a firebrush road.
34:44It intersects about 15 miles above the earth on the way to Mill Mountain.
34:48Okay, that's where they've taken the bus.
34:50I got 320.
35:20You better watch it.
35:50Look, they must have blocked it after they went in.
36:04Ram it, Bosley.
36:06Oh, boy.
36:26Ten minutes to four, still no word.
36:29You better hope your people did like they were told.
36:32I'm sure they have.
36:34They're old.
36:35No fight left in them, right?
36:38You better hope they're not so old they try something dumb.
36:43You people hold all the cards.
36:46By four o'clock or soon after, you'll get your call.
36:49So relax.
36:51Everything will go your way.
36:54As it usually does with you people.
36:57Talk too much, old man.
37:27Something's gone wrong.
37:30Relax.
37:32Don't tell me what to do.
37:34It's ten after four.
37:35The call was supposed to come no later than four.
37:38Your watch is fast.
37:39Don't be stupid.
37:42Listen, like I said, you people hold all the cards.
37:45Nobody in that town's going to cross you.
37:49The delay's probably with the Forest Service people.
37:51They've probably got delayed coming down the mountain.
37:53Give it a few more minutes.
37:55My order said four o'clock.
37:59You mean you'd really kill 25 helpless people?
38:04Twenty-six.
38:07Five more minutes.
38:09What can it possibly hurt to give them five more minutes?
38:13Okay.
38:15Okay, five more minutes.
38:17And then if the call hasn't come, you'll be the first to get it.
38:22I wouldn't have it any other way.
38:29Okay, slow down, Bison.
38:30Firebrush Road, 1540, ends about two miles up the road.
38:34It's ten minutes after four.
38:36We're too late.
38:37Come on, Aunt Lydia.
38:38My Uncle Paul's one of the smartest men in the whole world.
38:41I've always thought so.
38:42I know he's buying us some time.
38:43We've got to keep believing.
38:45Do you think we can get into the group without being noticed?
38:47Well, we've got to if we're going to make a move.
38:52Hey, there it is.
38:54Okay, Aunt Lydia, you stay here.
39:18If it goes down, you get her out of here.
39:19I will.
39:20No, he won't.
39:21I'm going with you.
39:23I'm sorry.
39:24Under no circumstances.
39:25I want you up here where it's safe.
39:26Chris, I know those women personally.
39:29They're frightened.
39:31They could give you away.
39:33But if I go first, I can tell them what's going to happen.
39:36It'll be better for you and it'll be better for them.
39:39I'm sorry.
39:40It's just too dangerous for you.
39:42Why?
39:43Because I'm too old?
39:44I didn't say that.
39:46Well, you didn't have to.
39:48They're my friends and my husband is there.
39:51I can't do any less than my best for them.
39:54I have to take as much risk as they're taking.
39:56If I don't, it makes me as old and as helpless as you think I am.
39:59You know what?
40:00She's right.
40:01I mean, if those ladies panic, we haven't got a chance.
40:03We're wasting time.
40:06Okay, come on.
40:07Here we go.
40:10♪
40:20♪
40:29Okay, what's the plan?
40:31Well, we each have to get near one of the guards
40:34before any of us can make a move.
40:36Well, I can stand closer scrutiny than either of you three,
40:39even in those ghettos.
40:41So I'll go in and tell the women what to do.
40:43All right, Amity, but please, please be careful.
40:47I never saw a man I couldn't handle yet.
40:51Go get him.
40:53♪
41:00♪
41:10♪
41:18Where'd you come from?
41:21I beg your pardon?
41:24What were you doing in there?
41:27Why, none of your business.
41:31Certain things that a lady likes to keep private
41:34under the worst circumstances, young man.
41:38If you had any brains, you'd know that.
41:42♪
41:50Don't, don't.
41:52Don't move a muscle.
41:54Be quiet.
41:56Pretend that I've been here all the time.
42:00Everything's going to be all right.
42:03What kind of girl, Annie?
42:05Okay, let's spread out and go in from different angles.
42:07Okay, I'll cover you from here.
42:09All right.
42:11♪
42:21♪
42:31♪
42:41♪
42:51♪
43:01♪
43:11♪
43:21♪
43:31♪
43:41♪
43:51What do you want?
43:53♪
44:03♪
44:07Everything is going to be all right.
44:10Go to his ball.
44:12♪
44:22♪
44:34Okay, time's up.
44:36Get him out of bus!
44:38Thanks for the disaster.
44:40♪
44:48Freeze!
44:50♪
44:58Hold it!
45:00♪
45:08You better unlock me,
45:10or that old lady's going to have to blow you away.
45:14The way I see it, you've got three choices.
45:16You can give it all up, you can make us shoot you,
45:18or we can let them have at you.
45:20Like him, keep him away from me.
45:22Keep him away from me!
45:24♪
45:26Kitty!
45:28Anyone here good at tying things?
45:30My granddaddy landed a horsey once.
45:33Face down and arms behind you.
45:36And a Harlem, too.
45:38I'll show you if I'm not see you.
45:42Okay.
45:44Let's go.
45:46Nice and slow.
45:48Nice and slow.
45:50♪
45:53Let's go join your friends.
45:55♪
46:00Oh! Oh, honey!
46:03♪
46:08Are you all right?
46:10I'm fine, honey. How are you?
46:12Me? Oh, I never felt better in my life.
46:17Oh!
46:35I take it your aunt and uncle are all right, Chris.
46:38Ah, they're both just fine, Charlie.
46:40When Uncle Paul got back to the office,
46:42the Forestry Service was waiting there
46:44for the federal prisoner, George Camaras.
46:46Well, I'm relieved to hear everything worked out.
46:48Oh, and this morning, when the FBI came to pick up the prisoner,
46:51there were all kinds of reporters and photographers there.
46:54We might get our picture in the news magazine.
46:56Sounds exciting.
46:58Not too much excitement for the elderly set at the village, I hope.
47:01That elderly set can be quite a forceful group when riled, Charlie.
47:05Very forceful.
47:07From what you've told me, your Aunt Lydia showed great courage, Chris.
47:10Ah, she was incredible, Charlie.
47:12There is a problem, though.
47:14What's that?
47:16Well, when it was all over with, Aunt Lydia got depressed.
47:18Depressed? Why?
47:20Well, when things got back to normal, everything seemed a little dull,
47:23and now she and Uncle Paul are having sort of a family dispute.
47:26Nothing troublesome, I hope.
47:28No.
47:30She just thinks that being mayor is boring,
47:32and she wants Uncle Paul to deputize her.
47:34She's not serious.
47:36Oh, yes, she is.
47:38Hey, I think that's a good idea, Chris.
47:41Your uncle could deputize maybe two or three of those ladies,
47:46give them assignments by phone,
47:48let them do all the work,
47:50and he just lays back and relaxes.
47:54That is an absolutely preposterous idea.
47:57I agree, Bosley. Totally absurd.
47:59Never work.
48:01No, of course not.
48:03I don't know any woman that would accept something like that.
48:05Mm-mm.
48:06Do you?
48:07Absolutely not.
48:11No!
48:41No!
