Tonight's episode, Child of Love, Child
of Vengeance, Part 2.

I've only seen you mean adult and child
once.

In an elevator on her way to a board
meeting.

I said hello, she said hello. Big
conversation.

She probably wouldn't even remember.

That's what I'm wondering about.

You're wondering if she's a little... I
don't think so.

But, I mean, in the elevator.

You know, I could tell her perfume was a
hundred proof.

I think she may have the strong
weakness, as we used to say about one of

uncles. But if Mimi Nettleton Child says
she's an old school friend of Mrs.

Scott, well, we never question what a
Nettleton says.

Oh, uh, Stephanie Capello.

My daughter -in -law, Betty Jones.

Hi, Betty. Hi.

Happy to meet you. Here, sit here.

Oh, forgive me for not waiting, but my
figure was begging to be filled out.

Well, according to J .R., your figure is
filled out nicely.

Devil. And I thought he was interested
in my brilliant legal mind.

First things first.

You'll get around to that.

I couldn't help overhearing what you
said about Mimi Childs. I'm afraid we

have to question her memory, Barnaby. I
just spoke to Mrs. Scott again.

She never heard of Mimi Childs, Mimi
Nettleson, Mimi anybody.

Scratch one old school chum.

I did learn something, though. The only
contact that Mrs. Scott had with the

hospital in Santa Barbara where Diana
was born...

was through a nurse there, a Mrs.

Pomeroy. She's now retired, living
somewhere here in Los Angeles.

See if you can find her, Betty. She
might be worth talking to.

I've already made a few inquiries.

Did you also talk to my alleged punching
bag, Claire Boyers?

Yes, but she wasn't about to tell me how
she got the bruises.

I learned an interesting thing, though.
You might want to file it under

miscellaneous. Claire Boyers' nursery is
owned by a building maintenance

company, Hub Corporation.

Ever hear of it?

Yes, I've heard of them.

I've seen their trucks around town.

Oh, speaking of corporations, have
either one of you ever heard of this

Nusselis Corporation?

This is a stock proxy solicitation
addressed to the stockholders in your

corporation. Yes, as if Nettleton
Corporation doesn't have enough trouble.

Now we've got these vultures soliciting
proxies for the stockholders meeting

coming up.

Oh, I'd like to know how they got our
mailing list.

Well, this is something to keep Jedediah
busy.

I see they just used the box number.

Tell him to check into that with the
Corporation Commission.

Save him the trouble, Barnaby. We're
already on it. In fact, I'd better get

to it right now.

Thanks for lunch.

I'm afraid that J .R.

wouldn't have been available anyway,
Barnaby.

He left a note.

I'll try and quote.

In direct disobedience to standing order
number one, I am yielding to my better

judgment by infiltrating the ranks of
the Center for Spiritual Awakening.

My better judgment.

The robes you wear now may seem strange
to you at first. They shouldn't.

These are cloaks of equality.

Remember that.

The outside world may have looked at you
with prejudice because of the clothes

you wore.

Here, we open our arms and our hearts to
you with a love that is

blind to any prejudice. You are all
equal here.

You are all... free here You are all
safe here

The outside world has tried to stifle
your spirit Here we will help

your spirit live and grow bless you and
welcome

All right, just a

couple of words of advice we assume that
you're here because you want to be

There's a fence around the place.

It's low enough for you to go over any
time you want.

But as long as you're neophytes, you can
only go over one time.

If we don't have what you want here,
then we don't want you back.

Now that means no dope, no coke, no
needles, no booze, and no

grass.

I'll be right back.

Claire, sorry about the bruise. You
feeling better?

Yeah. It's okay. It worked anyway.

What's your name?

Jackson. Jason Jackson.

Wrong.

You don't know who you are.

Any of you.

That's why you're here. To find out who
you are.

That's why we're here.

To help you.

Now let's get our bedding from the
supply building and get settled in.

Hey, let's go.

Get our things into the dorm.

Dina!

Dina Scott!

You remember me?

Pray not. Wrong number. Oh, Diana, then.
You remember our old super bad buddy

used to call you Dina? Candy Cane, you
remember?

I'm afraid that you have me.

Hi. What's happening?

Just saying hello.

Why don't you just say hello to that hoe
you're leaning on, Jackson?

You got work to do.

No, I'm just trying to be sociable, you
know. First you sweat, then you

socialize. When you're new here, you
work and meditate in silence. You don't

talk.

You listen and learn.

We're trying to help you get in touch
with yourself.

Got it?

Bull. Shut up, climber.

You know, you rattle that stuff off like
somebody put a cassette in your mouth

and pushed a button. Yeah, well, you
don't like it here. Why don't you just

up and leave?

Nobody's stopping you.

Hey, come on, you guys. It's a nice day.

Now inhale, both of you, okay?

Got the message.

Sweat first, socialize later. Got it.

Good.

Shouldn't do that, Stan.

It's time somebody spoke out.

I tell you, something's going on here,
and we're all going to get caught up.

Oh, please, Stan, not again.

Why do you think they kicked me out of
the downtown office? Nobody kicked you

out. You were needed out here.

Yeah, suddenly I was needed out here.

Because I ask too many questions
downtown.

Now, I'm going to tell you something.

There are two sets of books.

I don't know anything about any book.

And neither do you. Yeah, well, I can
count.

You know those envelopes with all the
money in it?

The books don't show half of it.

I mean, that box 4 ,300, it's a private
gold mine for your GW garage.

Is that it?

Are you jealous?

You're damn right I'm jealous.

Because I want you.

Diana. I want you to come away from here
with me now.

No.

Mr. Garrison saved my life. And yours,
too.

He's given you every possible chance to
play an important part in the center.

And now you're letting stupid suspicions
and jealousy ruin it all.

What about us, Diane?

Us?

I'd better get back to work.

What are you doing now?

I was just looking for the door. It's
not important.

You know, I don't... I don't know if
you're going to fit in here, Jack.

Oh, yeah, yeah. No, look, I'm fitting
in. I'm going to fit in good. Look,

this. See?

See that?

I've developed my own kind of technique.

I can hold... Stephanie,

this may be just a wild hunch, but since
you have all the employment records

there, it might be worth a look.

Thank you. I'll get back to you.

Barnaby, I have our retired nurse, Mrs.

Pomeroy, on line three.

Mrs. Pomeroy, my name is Barnaby Jones.

I'm a private investigator.

Oh, no, nothing like that.

I'm working on a case that started a
long time ago in Santa Barbara, and you

might be able to help me with it.

Well, I'd appreciate that.

Could you give me some directions?

Yes, yes, I know where that is.

Do I turn to the right or the left?

I turn right after Jordan Road.

Three o 'clock's fine.

Thank you. I'll see you there.

Three o 'clock.

Any time.

Tell them it must be final.

It must be accidental, but it must be
final. I don't want to know how, only

it's done.

Yes, sir.

Oh, Father.

Why couldn't you let this cup pass from
me?

I will be done.

25 years ago?

That's a long jog from my old memory.

There was this baby girl, born to an
unwed mother, adopted

by a couple named Scott in Santa
Barbara.

Oh, Scott.

You remember?

I think Mr. Scott died suddenly, just
before I retired.

Read about it somewhere.

That's the one. Do you remember the
baby?

Oh, I remembered that one all right.

They tried to keep it hush -hush.

25 years ago, such things were still
frowned on, you know. But the nurses in

maternity, we all knew.

The mother was a pretty young thing.

Very, very rich family.

Her name was Mimi Nettleson.

Are you sure?

Mimi Nettleson? Oh, yes.

They registered her under another name,
of course.

which was kind of foolish because their
chauffeur used to drive in big as life

and bring the girl's mail to her,
addressed to Mamie Nettleson.

Was the baby adopted by the Scots right
after she was born?

Yes, but they almost didn't get her.

Now, that was something for the book.

I mean, the day the girl left the
hospital, skinny and carefree as you

the baby's father tried to kidnap the
little tyke right out of the nursery.

Is that so?

Who was he?

I don't know.

They wished the young man off and
arrested him, I guess.

There was never a word about it in the
papers.

Of course, people like that have the
clout to keep it quiet.

You know?

I don't know whatever happened to him.

Well, thank you very much, Mrs. Pomeroy.
You've been a big help. I'll leave you

to your chores.

You won't bring my name into this, will
you?

Oh, no.

Your nice little hideaway will remain a
hideaway.

Thank you.

You know what, Betty?

I think I'm going to take a vacation.

Yeah, I'm about a month or so behind on
my fishing.

And this case is going to reach the dead
end.

We might as well give it up.

Things are kind of slow around here
anyway.

Why don't you take a few days off?

Thanks, Bob.

There's a little beauty.

You are seriously telling me that our
phones have been bugged?

Somebody knew I was going places they
didn't want me to come back from.

What happened?

Well, when I was leaving Mrs.

Pomeroy's, I was flagged down by a
flagman who wasn't there, and then I was

almost run down by a truck with no
driver.

I'm glad that this thing only picked up
our phone conversations.

I think this has gone far enough,
Barnaby.

We should call Lieutenant Bill.

Well, not yet, Betty.

Under the circumstances, John's duty
would be to lock me up.

That's right, I almost forgot.

No license.

Yeah, it isn't just that. I'm afraid
that by now we're so far ahead of the...

Police, they couldn't catch up in time.

Well, we're not far enough ahead to keep
you from almost being killed by people

we don't even know.

Barnaby, do you think the center's
behind this somehow?

It certainly seems to have that way.

Betty, who do you suppose bugged our
phone? Think for a minute.

The painters.

While they were painting my office.

I left them alone any number of times.

Call a building manager.

I'll bet you ten to one that the people
who did the work were the Hub building

maintenance people.

Hub owns Claire Boyer's landscaping
company.

Claire Boyer's new Diana Scott at the
center.

And Claire was the one who filed those
trumped -up charges against you.

It all seemed to make a circle.

With a center and Diana Scott in the
middle.

Well, it's a lie. I don't know who told
you, but it is a lie.

It doesn't matter who told me, Mrs.

Childs. We're trying to get at the
truth.

Well, it's not the truth. It is not the
truth.

Mrs. Childs, why do you go on torturing
yourself over something that happened

such a long time ago?

We only want to help you.

We're trying to help Diana.

Don't you want to help your daughter?

She is not my... You see, you can't even
say it.

Diana Scott is your daughter.

Please, Mrs. Childs.

We don't want to see you hurt.

But Lawrence Adams was killed because he
was trying to locate Diana.

Barnaby himself was almost killed
yesterday.

We have to have the truth.

What the devil are you doing here?

Mimi?

What have you been doing to her?

We're just trying to get her to face the
truth, Mr. Dentles. Look, Jones, I

don't know whether you're trying to
extort money from us or just trying to

your sleazy license back.

Oh, yes, yes, I've checked up on you
with the police.

And if you're not out of here in ten
seconds, I'll call them and have you

in jail.

The same way you had the baby's father
thrown in jail 25 years ago?

Get out of here.

They meant no harm, Stuart.

How would you know?

My God, Mimi, try to get a hold of
yourself.

When father died, I ordered you to leave
all this in the past.

Why in the devil are you trying to dig
it all up now?

She ran away, Stuart.

She must have been unhappy.

I just wanted to see if there was
something I could do for her. That's

Good Lord, the Nettleson Corporation is
at the edge of ruin, Mimi.

And you're playing with dynamite?

You had no business putting our legal
staff on this in the first place.

I'm going to correct that little
indiscretion immediately.

Hey,

what are you doing with that?

I'm just looking.

Looking, huh?

Yeah.

Look, we're supposed to speak the truth,
right?

Right.

Well, I was just trying to figure out
how much that would bring with offense.

You know, old habits die hard.

That's good goods, man. I'd bring a
couple of grand at least.

All right, add the showers. And doctor,
next election, ten minutes. Hurry it up.

No word from him today.

I take it?

No, and I'll tell you, I am worried
sick, Wendy.

One of us has got to stay by these
phones around the clock till he either

or comes through that door.

Thanks a lot, good people.

Do you mind if I move in here with you?
I would give a notice this morning. Oh,

no, definitely.

Well, you probably got the gilly party
all right.

We saw Mimi Nettleson again.

Sorry we got you into this.

I'm not.

No, getting fired gave me a couple of
free hours in the newspaper library,

over microphone copies of old
newspapers.

Remember you asked me to go through our
personnel records?

Well, item.

One Joseph Phillips, seven years ago,
spoke to a service club downtown on the

glorious attributes of the Center for
Spiritual Awakening.

Employment record?

The leader of the Wildcat Strike at
Nettleson Paper Mills.

Item. Five years ago, the master of
ceremonies at the center's children's

Christmas party was one Evan Clark.

He's not really Santa Claus.

Employment record?

The plant superintendent of Nettleson
Packing, from whence cometh the tainted

food at Nettleson Hotels.

Hmm.

From the center, the spider weaves his
web.

Granted, they're only two isolated
cases, but it's a start.

We may have a case of conspiracy here.

Really? I think we found ourselves a new
detective.

If you would like a printed copy of G.
Wesley Garrison's message today or wish

to make a contribution to the work of
the Center for Spiritual Awakening

write to us today.

The address is Box 4300.

That's box 4300.

Betty?

What are you looking for?

Here it is.

Here it is.

What is it?

Take a look.

It's a proxy solicitation from the New
Theleth Corporation, a company that's

trying to take over Nettleson
Corporation.

And to what address do I send my proxy
vote?

Box 4300.

And if you wish to make a contribution
to the Center for Spiritual Awakening,

just write to box 4300.

Busy little box number. It just dawns on
me.

Hub Maintenance Company.

Nucleus Corporation.

Think about that.

Hub.

Nucleus.

Nucleus means nucleus.

Hub. Nucleus. Listen.

What are we doing?

Born to be. It's me. I'm all right.

Well, thank heavens.

Listen, I hit the jackpot. I found Diana
Scott.

And she is there.

Yeah, that's not all that's here.

They said that a gold watch was stolen
from Lawrence Adams when he was killed.

Now, I think I found it.

There's an inscription on it that says,
To Lawrence from Marie. One of the head

honchos here is wearing it.

Good work, Jedediah. Now, I want you to
get out of that place.

You get on the road and I'll pick you
up. Not yet. I want to stick around and

see if I can find why they're holding
the Scott girl here.

I'd also like to learn how they came by
that watch.

Jedediah, I... I want to be somebody
who's coming. I got to go. Don't blow it

for me. I'm okay. If I can get to a
phone by tomorrow noon, I'll call you.

All right?

Ciao.

What are you doing here?

What does it look like I'm doing? I'm
shaving.

Keep a hoe in our hands all day. You
lecture us half the night.

Well, I got the message.

Taking some new pride in myself here.
I'm shaving, okay?

All right, just hurry it up and hit this
back.

I'm hurrying, I'm hurrying. Don't shoot
me, huh?

Barnaby, you're putting me right in the
middle.

Stuart Nettleson is hollering
harassment.

He's convinced you're either cooking up
an extortion plan or out to smear the

good name of Nettleson. John, that
simply is not true.

Oh, no, Betty.

John, you've just got to give us a
little more time.

Oh, you need more time to do what I
ordered you not to do in the first

Look, I'm supposed to hold you downtown
and scare you into behaving yourself

with a lot of questions under the bright
lights. Now, you want to make me look

silly? Take the DA what we've given you
and you'll look indispensable.

Or crazy.

The DA will think it's a time bomb,
Barnaby.

That center carries a lot of clout with
a lot of people.

He'll just think it's a scheme you
cooked up to get your license back.

Now, I doubt that I could even get a
warrant.

I expect Jedediah to come out of there
with a lot more than that.

If that outfit is what you think it is,
you'll be lucky if J .R. comes out at

all.

Come with me.

I can't, Stan.

My whole life is here.

So was mine.

This place saved me when I stopped
breathing, remember?

I mean, I was hitchhiking back and forth
across this country. I didn't even know

what direction I was heading in, so
don't tell me.

This used to be a place where we
recycled lives.

It still is.

Not anymore.

Garrison, he's turned this place into a
money -making dictatorship.

Diana, get out of here before the place
falls in on you, please.

Diana, that's good advice.

You again. Who are you anyway?

Never mind. Just do what he tells you.
Get out of here while you still can.

And when you do, I want you to contact a
man named Barnaby Jones.

Look, Diana, one man has already been
murdered trying to find you.

I don't believe it. Believe it.

Look, why don't you ask your friend
Jamie what time it is?

Do you know that he's actually wearing
the watch of the lawyer who was

Stop it.

You're lying.

You told him to say all this.

You are a liar, and you don't belong
here.

I'm not going to listen to any more of
this.

Diana, wait.

What is this about a murder and a watch?

Stan, my name is J .R. Jones.

I'm an associate of a guy named Barnaby
Jones. He's a private investigator.

J .R. Jones.

I'm sure of it. He came by the nursery
asking about Diana.

Wesley?

Now, now.

Remember, we are in the sanctuary of the
spirit.

No emissary of a hostile world has any
authority.

From this day forward, no one here has
ever seen or heard of J

.R. Jones.

A strong right hand.

Seek out this deceiver.

I want to look on the faith of this
Judas.

I'm sorry if we caused you any
suffering, Mrs. Childs. Oh, no, no.

I didn't come here for any apologies.

In fact, for the first time in so many
years, I'm trying to stop thinking about

myself.

Mr. Jones, you know the truth.

Diana.

my daughter.

I wanted to find her like some long
-lost obsession, like I could

to bring her back, ease the pain and
erase old

wrongs. But time, time had beaten me,
Mr.

Jones.

She is a woman now.

A whole world of her own.

Where my name wouldn't even be
remembered.

It's her world.

And I don't want to walk into it and get
a blanket here.

So, if she's happy where she is, let her
be.

I'm afraid there's more to it than that
now, Mrs. Childs.

May I ask you a very personal question?

Yes.

Of course.

Who was the father of your baby?

He was kind of a wild boy.

Not acceptable at the club, you know.

My father was furious.

I never saw him... even heard from him
again. His name was George.

George Garrett.

Barnaby Jones Investigations may help
you.

Yes, they're ready when you are. It's
John Lake.

I'm ready.

Can't wait any longer.

He'll be right with you.

And keep a watch on him, will you?

Thanks. Miss Childs, you'll have to
excuse me now.

But I want to thank you for coming into
us.

You have helped probably more than you
know.

If I haven't heard from you in two
hours, I'm calling Lieutenant Biddle.

Jackson. What's that, lunch?

I got some free time, right?

Your free time's over, Jones.

Walk, or I'll drop you right here and
we'll carry you.

Now look, you've already murdered
Lawrence Adams. Don't you people realize

consequences of what you're doing?

It was an accident. He had a gun. Well,
this is no accident, man. You murder me,

they're going to put you away for good.

So this is the young apostle who repays
a good deed with betrayal.

So hungry you echoed, as I recall.

Well, listen. Center's been good to you.
You look strong and fit.

You're through, Garrison.

You may have started this place with
some fantastic idea, but obviously it's

long been forgotten.

Listen to him. I have been listening.
I've been listening ever since I got

This man is insane.

The wild raving of an outside heathen
world.

You heard him.

He attacked the Citadel.

I am the Citadel, young man.

And the Citadel will survive.

And the heathen hordes will be
destroyed, one by one destroyed.

You!

But first, you will tell me why you seek
out the beloved child Diana to

take her away from me.

You're crazy, Garrison.

I'm going to tell you nothing.

And they're not going to kill me.

Oh, indeed they will.

Indeed, they will.

Thanks, son.

I don't know what's going on here, but
they got that guy J .R. with a gun in

room. I don't want to get you out of
here.

Diana?

Are you Mr. Jones?

They got J .R. over there. These two
guys with guns. They took him over

I decree that this infidel is a menace
to the true spirit.

I judge him unworthy of life.

Kill him.

Hold it, Garrison.

Can't turn your back this time,
Garrison.

Turn around.

Diana.

Go back to work, child.

No. What's going on here?

Murder, Diana.

Didn't you just hear Mr. Garrison give
the order for a murder?

No.

Diana, go back to work, child.

I'm not a child.

He thinks you are.

You're his daughter, Diana.

Isn't that right?

She is your daughter, George Garrity.

of my loin and love.

Take you away from me, will they?

The all -powerful Nettleton.

Cast you out.

Make you a number in an orphan's crib.

Call you bastard while you were pink and
innocent.

And throw your rightful father into a
dungeon.

Use their power. Use the law to take you
away from me. I swore.

I swore and wrote it on the wall of my
cell that one day, one day,

and then God delivered you back into my
hands.

God himself.

It was a...

that I had been chosen.

I had been chosen to crush them and
destroy them.

Kill them.

Both of them.

They're not my enemies.

You kill them.

Thy will be done.

Diana. Throw it down, father.

Diana. If you are my father.

I thank you for saving my life and
giving me something to live for.

I thank you for that.

But I will kill you before I let you
take it all away from me now.

I will kill you.

The place has such great natural beauty,
I kind of hate to leave.

Matter of fact, if you had one small
trout stream running through the

wouldn't.

Mr. Jones, I really want to thank you.

And I'm going to give him all the help I
can when they open up those books.

Yeah, it'll probably take months to sort
out all the charges against G.

Wesley Garrison, George Garrity.

Sorry, Diana.

So am I.

But, you know, the real thing is still
here.

I found it, and I hope others will, too.
Well, it looks like a great place to

start over.

I certainly like the costumes better.

We've organized a council to manage
things.

We sure don't want anyone playing God
again.

Good idea. As somebody says, the power
of love sometimes becomes a love of

power.

That's too bad.

Will you be coming to see us again, Mr.
Jones?

You bet I will. I'm going to keep my eye
on you.

You started as a child of love, became a
child of vengeance, and I'm looking for

the day you become Woman of the Year.
