Ah, Mr. Lambert, here.

Oh, the car's waiting.

Hi, Mr. Lambert.

Hi. How's the action?

A little light
for the happy hour,

but 8:00's booked pretty good,
Mr. Brandon said.

Well, he should know.

Thanks, Eddie.

Hello, Barnaby.

What are you doing here?

Meeting a client, Joe.

What floor?


Henry Warren?

What happened?

Lieutenant, Edwards just called

from the airport
about ten minutes ago.

He's on his way down
with Warren's wife.

His widow.

She's been in San Francisco.

What did Warren want
to see you about?

He didn't tell me.

He said on the phone
he'd explain when I got here.

What time was your appointment?

Around 5:00.

Yeah, that's about the time

the medical examiner
figures he got shot.

I called to tell him
I'd be 30, 40 minutes late,

but nobody answered.

A neighbor said she
heard the phone ringing.

Any suspects, Joe?

Yeah, one of the
tenants says he thinks

he saw a stranger on 29.

You want to read his report?

I sure do.

Boy, oh, boy.

Maybe if I'd been on time,
he might still be alive.

Yeah, but then again,

maybe there would've been
two of you lying up there.

Excuse me.

I'm Lieutenant Taylor,
Mrs. Warren.

Sorry you had to
find out this way.

Please, just... let me go up.

Yeah, maybe she knows
why he wanted to see you.

I'll let you know.

BETTY: Barnaby, it's
really not your
problem anymore.

That's what I kept telling
myself all last night.

[phone ringing]

Barnaby Jones' office.

May I help you?

He's right here.

Lieutenant Taylor.

Hello, Joe.

I talked to the widow... no help.

She never even knew her husband
called you, let alone why.

Okay, Joe.

Thanks for trying.

Got bills, advertisements

and something marked personal.

Retainer for $500

and a letter of confirmation.

From whom?

Henry Warren, dated yesterday.

Guess I'm still working for him.

MINISTER:
And so, reluctantly,
but with the knowledge

that Henry Warren
richly deserves the love

and respect of those of us

who have been honored
to know him,

I solemnly lay him
to his eternal rest.

[piano playing gentle melody]

Hi.

Anything special you
want to hear, big man?

How'd you know?

I mean, uh...

Ah, that's okay.

I'm cool about it.

I tell you, when
you've been blind

as long as I have, you
learn other ways to see.

Oh, not...
not everybody'd pick it up.

But, at this early hour, with
so few patrons in the club...

You know, no one yukking it up...
I could hear you

coming across that carpet
like an elephant.

And then, when you sat down...

that, uh, aftershave lotion
you're wearing...

That's pine, isn't it?

Yeah.

Well, that gave you away.

A big man.

Well, you ask
a silly question, and...

Yeah, and another thing...

Your voice has got an...

an outdoor, easy flavor.

Yeah, way down deep.

North Carolina, back a way.

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

I'm a country music fan myself.

You?

Never knew there
was any other kind

till I started wearing shoes.

[chuckles]

Stan?
Hmm?

Here. Microphone.

Oh, thanks.

Is it dark outside yet?

Not quite.

Oh.

I can't stand it in here
when it's light outside.

A nightclub should
be at night, right?

Any other girls work here?

Uh, there's
a bookkeeper sometimes.

Oh, and Jenny.

Here... here she comes now.

[plays flourish]

[smatter of applause]

STANLEY:
That crazy perfume.

I'd know it in a crowd.

Sorry I'm late.

Ah, it's no sweat.

[gentle piano music continues]

Oh, you're the singer.

I saw your picture out front.

That's me.

Ginny Lynd, girl singer.

How do you do?
I'm Barnaby Jones.

That's nice.

Excuse me.

I'm thirsty.

A double, Gloria.

Here you go, sweetie.

Thanks.

Can I get you something, sir?

Glass of milk.

Well, another pussycat.

May I sit down?

I'm not in the mood
for a chitchat.

I know.

I... saw you
at the funeral.

[sighs]

Uh, what are you into,
Mr. Jones?

I mean, uh, like,
what do you do?

Private investigator.

I see.

Well, that's fine with me.

Everybody has to be something.

Sit down.

I was at the cemetery
to pay my respects

to an aunt who passed away.

Yes, I, uh...
checked the headstone.

Your aunt was, uh...

Abner Smith who left us in 1896.

Is it a crime to attend
someone's funeral?

No, but obviously you did
change your appearance

for the funeral,
and you must admit

that brings up a few questions.

I'm speaking of
Henry Warren's funeral.

All right, Mr. Jones.

We were close friends.

I'm not here to make judgments.

Everybody does.

When I met Henry,
he was living alone.

He never mentioned a wife
or that they were separated.

But he was living with his wife
at the time of his death.

He'd gone back to her.

That's how I found out
about their marriage.

His wife was ill.

Henry was worried.

GINNY:
He thought he could
see her through it...

and then discuss
everything frankly

and convince her
to give him a divorce.

BARNABY:
And you went along with it?

No, not at first.

But then he explained
why he'd kept it from me.

He wanted to marry me,

and he was afraid
that I'd leave him

if I knew that
he was already married.

So we started seeing
each other secretly.

Does she know about you?

And the marriage was over
before Henry and I met.

I'm... grateful she never knew.

I could never forgive myself
the hurt.

Did she agree to the
divorce, do you know?

He said so.

She was gonna have
minor surgery next week,

and after she recovered,

Henry and I were gonna
fly to Vegas.

I'm on.

Something giving you a bad time?

No.

Let's just do it.

Lieutenant Taylor,
Barnaby Jones here.

Hello, Barnaby.

Heard you were
at the Warren funeral today.

Guilty.

I also heard you followed
some woman away.

Still guilty.

So where does it fit in?

Well...

Barnaby? You there?

When I find out
where it all fits in,

if I find out,

I'll let you know, all right?

Now I'm trying to find out

why Henry Warren hired me.

His check came
in the mail today.

Bye, Joe.

It's just that I don't like
anyone coming in here this way.

Well, you really are uptight.

What you need is to get
your mind off things.

Mr. Brandon, what I need
is to be left alone.

I don't know if you know it,

but the owners of this club
run a hotel in Acapulco.

The penthouse suite's
always available to me

whenever I want it.

So, if you'd like
a change of scenery,

I can always get a week off.

You're much too generous.

[door slams against wall]

I'll keep the offer open, Ginny.

Don't hold your breath,
Mr. Brandon.

[playing flamenco]

[birds singing]

Hello!

Mr. Jones.

How did you know
where to find me?

You got a good
answering service.

[sighs] Well, I, uh, I told you
all I know yesterday, really.

Yeah, but there
might be some things

that you don't consider
important that might be just...

Is that a Classico?

Oh, no, the name's inside.

Might be, uh, just
what I'm looking for.

For instance, that man

that, uh, came out of your
dressing room yesterday.

[strums guitar]
Mr., uh... Brandon.

He, uh, didn't take it too cool
about being turned down.

[chuckles]
Emory Brandon.

He makes passes at every girl
who works in the club.

Yeah, but he took it
kind of sensitive.

Now, if he knew
about Henry Warren...

He didn't.

No one did.

Henry never even came
into the club.

Positive?

Here.

The closest anyone ever came
to learning about us

was when we gave Stan Lambert
a lift home one night.

And Henry used another name
and hardly said anything.

So Stan couldn't
possibly know who he was.

Don't be too sure.

Blind men pick up awful fast.

Now, Stan got me on shaving
lotion and footsteps.

But I'm sure.

No.

How long has Stan been blind?

Since he was a boy.

Talk about guts.

No chance of an operation or...

Oh, he's been up end down
the line, here and in Europe.

Mayo, Waverly in San Francisco,
Rieskamp in Switzerland.

But no luck, no way.

Well, that would seem
to eliminate Stan.

I got an awful funny feeling
about Emory Brandon.

Can't you leave it alone?

If you keep asking questions,

it might come out
about Henry and me.

Why can't you just let
the police handle his death?

Ordinarily, I would,

but Henry Warren has
made it my problem, too.

He hired me.

I look forward
to Chip's night off.

It's a nice change.

I get to drive home with you.

[Ginny laughs]

[car engine starting]

Much traffic?
No.

Ginny, sometimes
it helps to talk about it.

You know, get it out.

It's like you were
somewhere else tonight.

Well, it was that man who was
in yesterday, Barnaby Jones.

Oh?

What was he bugging you about?

Well, I, uh...

[sighs]

Well, it all started
about a year ago.

I met this man, Henry Warren.

He was an executive
with a big oil company.

Pretty successful.

Well, out of sight
doesn't mean out of mind.

I miss you, honey.

Sure.

Listen, I can pick you up
at midnight,

and we can...

Oh?

Well, that's okay.

Maybe tomorrow night.

Okay.

Good night, Roxanne, baby.

Roxanne, baby.

I'll bet she drinks
from a bottle.

Well, the only reason

Raquel Welch is not
in my little black book

is because I'm not
making enough money.

When are we going back
into business, Stan?

Hmm?

Blackmail is not exactly
like robbing a candy store.

An occupation
with which I believe

you were involved
when I found you.

Okay, Stan.

So you talk better
than I do.
Speak.

Speak better than I do.

And you play piano
better than I do.

With my eyes closed, dear boy.

But right now your 750 a week
is all that's coming in.

And I'm just a gopher
around here.

Stan, I can't live on
what you're doling out.

Now, there must be a lot of
Henry Warrens in the world.

You know what I'm saying, Stan?

Patience.

I still don't understand
why you'd want to k*ll someone

who's bringing in


I k*lled Henry Warren
because he had to be k*lled.

Stan, please.

Stanley, please!

I told you Warren was bluffing

when he said he was
getting a divorce

and didn't have to pay anymore.

No.

He suspected something.

He knew I wasn't blind.

He was even threatening me,

he was going to hire
a private detective
to prove it.

No, I'm afraid
our golden goose had to go,

but I think I've got another.

Who?

Where?

Wh-What have you got on him?

The blind man hears a lot.

The blind man sees a lot.

[playful ending notes]

Emory Brandon, the manager
of our cozy club.

[shaver buzzing]

Here.

Try some of that.

What's the occasion?

It's your birthday.
Congratulations.

My birthday isn't
for another six months.

You found me out.

I can't resist a sale
at the drugstore.

Here, I checked
the message service.

Those are the messages.

"Ruth Warren."

"Last night."

"Can I please stop by?"
Tsk.

When I saw that poor,
unhappy girl yesterday,

I almost decided
to send the check back

and forget the whole thing.

Almost?

And then I got to wondering

what it was that Henry Warren
wanted to tell me.

And I thought, just possibly,

it might have something to do
with his m*rder.

It could be what Henry
wanted to see you about.

Then again, it...

might be nothing.

Nothing at all.

Well, maybe if you
let me judge that.

Well, I was going through
Henry's checking account,

and there's been a
$1,500 cash withdrawal

the first of every month,

and no record
where it's gone to.

How long had that been going on?

Eight months.

Did you notify the police?

Not yet.

Any particular reason?

Privacy, I guess.

So, if it has to do
with his m*rder,

follow it
and let the police know.

But if it's another woman...

Drop it.

Frankly, I... I don't want
any names, times... places.

I understand.

Well, if... you want to get
in touch with me again,

I'll be here all week, and...

after that, you can reach me
at the, uh,

Parkhill Clinic
in, uh, San Francisco.

Well, I hope to be
calling you before then.

EMORY:
How long you going
to take the sun?

Oh, hush!

Lot cooler inside, Gloria.

But I like it out here.

And if you have to be back
to the club by 6:00...

Oh, catch.

[phone ringing]

Yeah?

Hi, Chip.

I wanted to discuss
a little business, Mr. B.

I'm busy right now.

Uh, Mr. B, I have
some interesting invoices

on a private arrangement
you have going

with, uh,
Continental Meat Company,

Cornwall Liquor

and Ace Linen Supply.

Are you still busy?

Well, uh, $1,500
sounds reasonable

to keep it just between us.

I mean, considering how
your employers might take it.

To say nothing
of Internal Revenue.

Now, look, uh...
I think we'd better talk a bit.

Talk is cheap.

Let's say you make
the first installment tonight

in the parking lot
at 8:00.

Bye.

[playing gentle melody]

Evening, Mr. Jones.

[laughs]

Couldn't fool you, huh?

Not with that shaving lotion.

[stops playing]

Seventh inning, folks.

Well... it's nice to see
you're becoming a regular.

What's the special attraction?

The atmosphere.

You mean Ginny?

Just a little early for her yet.

Why should I mean her?

Well, you see,
we're pretty close,

and she sounds off to me
when things get her down.

As a matter of fact, uh,

she leveled with me about you.

Oh?

Yeah.

She's the best.

I'd, uh, hate to see anyone
giving her a bad time.

So would I.

[chuckles]

That's nice to know.

[resumes playing gentle melody]

BARNABY:
Oh, miss.

[gasps]

[sighs]

I didn't mean to
startle you, but, uh...

could we have a few words
before you went in?

What is it?

Well...

for a man who carried
only credit cards,

Henry Warren drew
an awful lot of cash

the first of every month.

Being close to him,
uh, well, you know...

Okay, why don't you just...

lay it on the line, Mr. Jones?

You think he was keeping me.

We were in love.

He offered friendship,
love and understanding.

Period.

[tires screeching]

Good evening.

I'll park it for
you, Mr. Brandon.

No, leave it.
I'm coming right out.

Your friend was here again.

I know. I saw
him out back.

Is he still there?

How should I know?

Hey, what time is it?

Mm, 8:00 on the button.

Would you fill in for me?

Oh, sure.

Mr. Jones...

there is this, uh,
fellow who, uh...

who does things,
takes care of me.

His name is, uh, Chip Rawlings.

I was wondering
how you got around.

[wry chuckle]

Well, I hear that he has been
spending a lot of money lately.

Uh, much more than he
could afford on what I pay him.

Maybe he's got a rich aunt
he hasn't told you about.

[chuckles]
No.

No, he's got something
going for him.

Mr. Jones, the point is,
we're close friends...

At least I thought we were...

And he hasn't leveled
with me about this.

Any indications?

Eddie.

The-the parking lot attendant.

Well, he said
that he saw Chip and Brandon

out in the parking lot

that Ginny and you were there.

Eddie said that he
heard Brandon talking

about a lot of money
that, uh, he owed Chip.

Does Eddie work for you, too?

Oh, no, no.

I tip him pretty good.

Mr. Jones, the point is that,

well, if Chip
is doing something shady

with the outfit I work for,
it hits me.

It... my job, maybe.

Now, it's important
to me, Mr. Jones,

and I-I was wondering if...

if you could tell me anything
that you saw

that, well, I should know.

Well, uh, they left together.

Uh, n-no, no, no.

I mean, what exactly
did you see?

They took Brandon's car...
That's all.

That's all?

Mm.

Oh.

Oh, well...

Well, look, m-maybe I'm wrong.

Yes.

Henry found out about him.

Did Mr. Warren ever go up there
with you?

Oh, yes.

He... he investigated the place
thoroughly.

The clinic, the entire staff.

He was like that, you know.

Very precise.

Well, good luck, now.

And I'll keep trying to find out
where the money went.

BETTY:
In San Francisco.

Person-to-person

Parkhill Clinic.

Parkhill?

Yeah, and find out

what, uh, Stan Lambert
usually does after hours.

I've heard him talk a lot
about digging country music.

Anyhow, musicians don't usually
go to bed till the sun comes up.

I wonder if it's the
same for blind musicians.

I wonder if he's blind.

What?!

Yes, sir.

Gee, what a surprise.

Well, best country music
in town.

Hey, that exhibition
of yours... that, uh...

Mm, very good.

Oh, God, I just got lucky.

I used to be pretty fair
at darts myself.

Oh, yeah? Well,
you give me three to one odds,

and I'll take Stan.

$15 to five?

You got a bet.

Ah. You go first,
Mr. Jones.

All right.





[scattered applause]


that's good.

Ah, thanks.

Hmm. Thank you.

the board between throws?

Surely.

[onlooker gasps]

Okay, Stan,

Accidents will happen.

Is there anything...

Anything I could do
to make up for it?

Yeah, just...
Thanks.

Forget it.

Say, uh, you've been around
country music awhile.

Uh, are you really
a longtime fan?

Oh, the longest.

Do you remember
country Dan Joslin?

Well, how-how did you know
about him?

I mean, I haven't heard
a Joslin platter

since I played Nashville.

Now, how'd you come up
with that one?

Oh, somebody laid a record on me
the other day.

An old one... 78.

How'd you like
to come by my place

and hear it on your way home?

Well, I'd love to.

Well, if you don't mind,
I'll wait in the car.

I hate country music.

No need.

I'll take Mr. Lambert home.

Well, great.

I've had this place.

Let's go.
All right.

Well.

Well, I'll set you
right down here

It isn't exactly as good

as that elaborate setup
of yours,

but, uh,

the record should be right...

Hmm.

Not here.

The housekeeper
must have moved it.

Oh, take your time.

There's no sweat.

Oh, here it is.

I'd like to even the score
for the dart you threw.

[panting]

Okay.

So you know.

Sit down.

How did you find out?

What difference does it make?

I want to know.

I put a few things together.

For instance, that shaving
lotion that you knew me by.

I had another one on

the last time I was in the club.

And then there was
your television set

in your apartment.

It was warm
when I leaned against it.

A blind man doesn't normally
look at television.

Ugh! That's no proof.

What made you close in tonight?

Same reason that
Henry Warren got suspicious.

Dr. Waverly
and his Parkhill Clinic.

Ruth Warren put me on to that.

Her husband only knew

that he had operated
on a musician from Los Angeles.

I guess he wanted to prove
that you really could see.

I made one call and found out

that Dr. Waverly had operated
on you

two years ago in Switzerland.

Stan, when a man
regains his sight,

it's an occasion
for celebration.

A time for shouting hosannas
and offering thanks.

How come you just pretended
that nothing happened?

The greatest mistake I ever made
was having that operation.

When you've been
a blind musician all your life,

oh, you're something special.

An oddity.

A commodity.

He can always get work.

Someone always wants
to book an attraction like that.

Maybe, but the important thing
is your hands.

Oh.

[laughs]

I have no illusions
about my talent.

I am adequate.

That's all.

See, with my sight,

I would just be
another club date musician,

standing in line scratching
for work with the rest.

So...

I led two lives.

The public one

and the private one.

And your private life paid off
too well to stop.

Yeah, who would suspect
a blind man and what he sees,

but he saw and remembered
and blackmailed.

And made a small fortune.

It is too bad for you

that you and I are the only two
who know.

That is where it stops.

Not quite.

Betty?

[door opening]

STANLEY [on tape]:
See, with my sight,

I would just be
another club date musician,

standing in line,
scratching with the rest.

I'll take that.

Mr. Lambert,

that g*n isn't loaded.

[clicking]

This one is.

[playing pretty tune]

Oh, no.
Please sit down.

Gloria said you wanted
to say good-bye.

Your new accompanist
is gonna work out okay?

Well, maybe Stan was better,
but, uh,

I doubt if this one steals,
blackmails, bribes and murders.

That's something.

You're something, too.

Thanks.

I should hang in there, huh?
