- Terry.
- Dad?

No, don't say anything;
don't turn around.

I don't want anyone
to know we've met.

Now, if the answer is
yes, just touch your hair.

Did you pick up a package
at the airport locker?

Did you bring it with you?

Take it back to the apartment.

Put it in a safe place.

Do you remember that restaurant
where we had lunch last week?

Bring it there tomorrow at 1:00.

Bring it in my briefcase.

Make sure that
you're not followed.

I'll explain later.

Good morning.

Morning, Peg.

Fresh and hot.

For a change, huh?

Thanks, Peg.

It's gonna cost you.

I need an extra
half hour for lunch.

- I saw a darling dress.
- Buy it.

We might as well
both be in debt.

How'd the party go last night?

Oh, as parties go...

it went.

I'll get it.

Hi, Art.

- Good morning, Peggy.
- I'll fix you some coffee.

No, thanks.

It's hot.

Thanks anyway. Is he in?

Mm-hmm, go on in.

Morning, Joe.

Hi, Art.

Coffee?

No, thanks.

It's hot.

I understand you gave
a party last night, Joe.

Somebody complained
about the noise?

We wouldn't hear
about that in Homicide.

That girl one of your guests?

Terry Graham.

Yeah, why?

They found her this
morning at Point Fermin Park.

What happened?

She was mugged,
a little chloroform.

Is she all right?

She's going to have a nice long
sleep, but she's coming around.

Any suspects?

No.

Do you have any idea what
time she left the party last night?

Oh, I don't remember
saying good night to her.

Uh, no, I don't know
what time she left, Art.

Did you notice what kind
of jewelry she was wearing?

Yeah, as a matter of
fact, we talked about it.

It was a brooch, uh...

She said it was imitation.

Her father gave it to
her for her birthday.

Stones about that size?

Yeah, I'd say
something like that, yeah.

Those aren't imitation, Joe.

They're the real thing.

Do you know anything about
the Graham girl's family?

Yeah, a father and stepmother
live at the Sunrise Towers.

Were they at the party?

Mrs. Graham was,

but Howard Graham was
out of town on business.

Howard Graham...

Howard Graham.

Why does that name
ring a bell with me?

His first wife was the
daughter of Robert Blakely.

Blakely the financier?

Yeah, that's the one.

You know, I've suddenly
got a strange feeling

that this was part of

a famous jewel collection
that Blakely owned...

The Auroras.

The Auroras!

A million-dollar
matched collection

that was stolen in New
York about five years ago.

The owner, Robert
Blakely, died shortly after.

Hey, not bad, Art.

I do my homework occasionally.

Blakely had a daughter
that he disowned

when she married a man
that he didn't approve of...

Howard Graham.

You were hired to find those
jewels, weren't you, Joe?

Yeah, and I struck out.

The Auroras are still missing.

I've got an idea
they're about to surface.

Art, uh...

when can I see Terry Graham?

Sometime this afternoon.

Has anyone told her stepmother?

Oh, sure.

Mrs. Graham was very upset.

She wanted to hang
around the hospital,

but the doctor sent her home.

Well, maybe I
better get over there

and see if there's
anything I can do.

How awful it must
have been for her, Joe.

I could never have
forgiven myself if anyth...

If she had...

What time did Terry
leave the party?

About 10:00.

She said she had
to meet somebody.

She wouldn't tell me who it
was or where she was going.

So I came home and waited.

For hours.

When she didn't return,
I started imagining

all kinds of things...

blaming myself.

Why didn't you call the police?

I don't know how
to explain this, Joe,

but all of a sudden, I
knew that the call Terry got

was from Howard,

and that he was in trouble.

What made you think that?

He's been acting so
strangely for weeks.

I didn't know what was wrong.

It was foolish of me, I suppose,

but, uh, I was afraid
to call the police.

Mm.

Lois...

you've heard of the Auroras?

Who hasn't?

They belonged to
Terry's grandmother.

But they were stolen.

I think your husband
has the Auroras.

Howard?!

That doesn't make sense.

That brooch he gave
Terry for her birthday,

it was part of the collection.

That's not possible.

I'm afraid it is.

But if Howard knew, how...
how could he let Terry wear it?

He probably figured
that, after all these years,

no one would recognize
the brooch alone.

Hello.

Yes?

Yes, right away.

Terry's awake.

Thank you, nurse.

My father didn't
steal the Auroras, Joe.

He couldn't.

I'm sure he'll be
able to explain, Terry.

Something's happened to him.

I know it.

Something awful.

If he knew about me,
he would have been here,

no matter what.

I don't think he does
know about you yet, Terry.

He probably thinks you're at
the apartment, waiting for his call.

When Terry leaves the hospital,
I want her to stay at my place.

When Howard calls, you
can tell him where she is.

That won't be necessary, Joe.

I'll be at the
apartment with her.

Sorry, Lois.

Why?

Whoever attacked
Terry in the park last night

might think she
can identify him.

But I didn't see him.

I couldn't identify him.

But he doesn't know that.

Yeah, those are his eyes.

Kind of scary.

Chin was a little bit
more pointed, I think.

More like this?

Yeah.

Pleasant little thing, isn't he?

Hi, Chuck.

Hello, Joe.

What are you doing here?

I had a dinner date
with Peggy; we, uh...

got started a little early.

I think we have something, Joe.

Like what?

A man came to our
apartment last week.

I don't think I was
supposed to see him,

'cause father sent me
out on some excuse,

but I passed him in the hall.

Then I saw him
knock on our door.

We thought if we could
get his face on paper,

it would help, so
I called Chuck.

How did it turn out?

Have a look.

That's good, Chuck.

Thank you.

- You know him, Joe?
- Yeah.

He sells things.

Sells things?!

And not always things
that belong to him.

May I help you?

Hello, Jonah.

Been a long time, Mannix.

Last time we talked, Penny
here was just out of the egg,

so to speak.

Hello.

Something I can show you?

I've got a couple of nice
pieces of bronze you might like.

A real bargain.

You're going to
wear that out, Jonah.

What makes you so nervous?

Nervous?

Why should I be nervous?

Maybe you're, uh,
mixed up in something

that's way over your head.

Just what are you after, Mannix?

The Auroras.

Listen to him, Penny!

- Penny.
- Expecting to find the Auroras

in a place like this.

Give you my word, Mannix,

if I had the Auroras, I'd
burn this place to the ground

and give the
insurance to charity.

Why did you go to
see Howard Graham?

How do you know about that?

Did he offer to sell
you the Auroras?

The Auroras!

I'm in the antique business.

I want straight answers, Jonah.

Someone got away
with the Auroras last night

and almost killed Graham's
daughter in the process.

And you think I had
something to do with that?

I'm going to find out...

one way or another.

I'm not an evil man, Mannix.

If I help someone to dispose
of something they have for sale,

where's the harm?

I told Mr. Graham I'd try
to help find him a buyer.

What happened?

He never showed up.

Anybody else know that you,
uh, were dealing for the Auroras?

- Nobody.
- You're sure?

Yes.

You told Graham you were
going to find him a buyer.

Maybe what you really meant
was that you already had one.

Who could that be?

How about Hamilton Starr?

Starr?!

That's pulling one
out of the hat, Mannix.

The Auroras always had a
great fascination for Starr.

I've had the feeling that if
they showed up anywhere,

he wouldn't be far behind.

The last I heard
of Hamilton Starr,

he was cruising the
Caribbean on his boat.

Well, his boat is
moored at the marina,

just a couple of
miles from here.

Oh. Hello.

Leave me alone, Mannix!

Be a friend. Go away!

You told Starr, Graham
had the Auroras, didn't you?

Now don't lie to me, Jonah!

What could I do?

Looking into those blind eyes,

knowing he sees
right through you.

I had to tell him... if I
wanted to stay alive!

So, Starr had Terry Graham
followed from my place,

and wound up
with the collection.

I don't know
anything about that.

I'm sure you don't.

Look, Mannix...

I've never done you any harm.

If it gets around I talked...

I'll never live out the day.

If anyone finds out,
Jonah, it won't be from me.

Jonah.

It'll probably be from Penny.

You wouldn't tell on
me, would you, old girl?

Hi, Joe.

Hello, Orville.

It's beginning to look
like old home week.

Drive into traffic,
okay, Mannix?

And head toward the marina.

Oh, you won't need that Orville.

I was planning on
visiting your boss anyway.

Oh, sure, you were.

Come on, move it.

A little better.

Lassiter?

You want to talk to me, Mannix,

you can start by
calling me Captain.

Last time I saw you, you
were scrubbing the deck.

I'm off my knees now.

Evolution has come a long
way, hasn't it... Captain?

Come.

He was exactly where you
said, Mr. Starr, at Jonah's Place.

Welcome aboard, Mannix.

Well, how does he look, Orville?

Have the years
treated him kindly?

Looks about the same.

Well, you finally got your
hands on the Auroras, huh?

Magnificent, aren't they?

Banked fires to
warm a man's soul.

No wonder so many people have
died for them through the years.

Last night you nearly added
Terry Graham's name to the list.

I had nothing to do with
the attack on Miss Graham.

You expect me to believe that?

When you're sitting here
gloating over this collection?

My dear fellow,

these are nothing but paste.

Your eyes are deceiving you.

You're a man of
keen senses, Mannix.

Use them.

These have no melody,

no... heat.

The Auroras burn and sing.

That's why I've wanted
them all my life...

Not to sell,

just to own that fierce light.

It would be almost like
having my sight back.

So I planned.

For years, I planned.

Blueprints of Robert
Blakely's house,

the design of the safe,
servants' schedule,

night watchman's rounds.

Right, Orville?

How can you forget?

And finally, five
years ago, I moved.

There was only one
thing I couldn't anticipate...

The worthless
imitations in the safe.

Someone had beaten
me to the Auroras.

Howard Graham.

Exactly. Yeah.

Rather a bitter
joke on Mr. Blakely,

wouldn't you say?

Hoodwinked by the
son-in-law he despised.

Took me years before I
was sure it was Graham.

Then Jonah came to my rescue.

He told me that Graham was
prepared to deal for the jewels.

I sent Orville
here on his trail,

he saw the girl
come into the park,

and there were the
Auroras within arm's length.

Orville lost them

as a runt hound might
lose a hapless rabbit.

I did the best I could.

Yes.

And that's the pity of it.

Sorry, Mannix.

The point is, someone
else got the Auroras,

which is the reason for your
being my guest this morning.

Who else could have
known Graham had them?

Who else, indeed, Mannix?

Mannix, I want the Auroras.

I'm willing to pay you for them.

But, unless I get them soon,

there's going to be
more blood on them.

If there is, Starr,

I'll find you.

Don't try to threaten me.

I've lived in the dark too long
to be frightened by anything.

The Auroras, Mannix.

Hard way, the easy way...

it's up to you.

We'll soon have them, Orville.

Did I offend you?

It's... you know, it's
in front of people.

Sorry.

We make a good pair, you and I.

You're my eyes,

and I'm your brain.

It's a very satisfactory
arrangement.

Mannix.

Joe, are you in
some kind of trouble?

What makes you say that?

Art Malcolm called.

He wants to see you downtown.

Said it was urgent.

And he said it in his
policeman's voice.

Okay, I'm on my way, Peggy.

Hello, Jonah.

You wanted to see me, Art?

Yeah.

We had quite an
interesting conversation,

Jonah and I, after
you left the shop.

Really?

Tell him what you told us.

What did you tell them?

The truth, Mannix,

about how you offered me
the Auroras to sell for you,

and how I turned you down.

I'm sorry, Mannix,
but if I'm put away,

who's going to
take care of Penny?

You do understand,
don't you, Mannix?

I'm beginning to.

All right, Jonah...

you can go now.

Oh, make sure you
can keep yourself handy,

in case we need you.

I'll be where I always am,
Lieutenant... me and Penny both.

Sorry, Mannix.

You believe him, Art?

Sure I do.

Any more dumb questions?

What next?

Find the Auroras and
turn them over to us.

That's all?

I guess they are getting to
be a bit of an embarrassment.

You were on the
trail of them once.

I thought you might get
an idea about where to look.

As a matter of fact,

I've already got one.

Jonah.

Hello.

Hello? Hello?

Jonah.

It's your friendly
police department, Joe.

You said you had an idea.

I thought I ought to
find out what it was.

You know, Art, my respect
for you increases every day.

I'll put that in my memory book.

That burglar alarm an accident?

Burglar alarm to
report an accident.

Lieutenant, Jonah's dead.

That's the accident.

Let's go inside.

Call it in, Charlie.

Yes, sir.

He's been dead for a couple
of hours, by the looks of him.

That lets you out, Joe.

Oh, thanks a lot.

Penny.

What were you
doing here, anyway?

Trying to find the Auroras.

Those were your
instructions, weren't they?

How'd you know Jonah had them?

He told you I had them,

so I figured he was
protecting someone.

Himself?

I think Jonah's the one who
grabbed the jewels in the park.

How did he know they'd be there?

He had a deal with
Howard Graham.

Then he followed him

to get the Auroras... Without
having to pay for them,

saw Terry, grabbed her.

Apparently somebody
else had the same idea.

Took the jewels out of
the safe and put Jonah in.

Oh. Hello.

Yeah, not exactly
a fair exchange

from Jonah's point of view.

Any idea who might have done it?

I could make a
pretty good guess.

Hamilton Starr, huh?

We've had a 24-hour
surveillance at the waterfront.

Nobody left that boat today,
which leaves one prime suspect.

Howard Graham?

That's right.

Art, I know Howard
Graham well enough

to know he couldn't do that.

You also know him
well enough to know

that he couldn't have stolen
the jewels in the first place?

I still say he didn't do it.

Do you have any idea
where Graham is now?

No, but I'm sure he'll try and
see his daughter Terry soon.

I realize that circumstances
cause me to be suspect,

but I didn't kill Jonah.

Thank you, sweetheart.

And I was at my
hotel all evening.

Mr. Graham, you understand
that I'm going to check this out,

so there really isn't
much point in your lying.

I'm not lying.

I was playing cards
with the night clerk.

You can ask him.

But you did steal the
Auroras originally?

Yes.

Yes.

I'll get back to
you, Mr. Graham.

I wish you'd told me.

I wish I'd never
seen the jewels.

They-they belonged
to you all along.

I wanted you to
have your birthright.

Because I...

cheated you of it.

You didn't cheat me.

Then you're... you're
not ashamed of me?

I love you.

Mr. Mannix's office.

Oh, yes, Mrs. Graham,
just a second, please.

Joe, Lois Graham
is on the phone.

Hello, Lois, where
have you been?

I've been trying to...

What man?

He came to the
apartment looking for Terry.

When I told him she was
gone, he pointed a gun at me,

forced me to go with him,
and then made me call you.

What does he want?

The Auroras.

If you don't give them to
him, he's going to kill me.

He'll let you know
where and when.

Let me know, uh, how?

He didn't say.

I'm frightened, Joe.

Lois?

Lois!

What is it, Joe?

They were after Terry,

but they're holding
Mrs. Graham instead.

Well, why?

What could they want?

The Auroras.

I'm supposed to hand them over.

You?!

You don't have
them, do you, Joe?

No.

I'm having a tough time
convincing anyone of that.

Do you have any idea
who does have them?

Yeah.

So far, most of my ideas about
this case have been wrong.

Well, let's hope this one
isn't, for Mrs. Graham's sake.

You can say that again.

Well, sir, there's a, a
candle and a round table

and a, a rug in the front.

Foreground,
Orville... Perspective.

Excuse me, sir, yes,
right, foreground...

And behind that is a
window with a little barn.

The colors, Orville.

The barn's red...
It's a red barn...

And there's snow
on it, white snow.

White snow?

When I die, Orville, I'm
leaving my eyes to you.

They belong with your brain.

Go on.

Uh, there's a curtain, uh,
in the window and, uh...

Who is it?

Mannix.

Who invited you here?

Let's talk, Starr.

Mannix, what are you doing here?

I want to talk to
you, Starr, alone.

It's all right, Lassiter.

That means you, too, Orville.

You can't trust him.

Allow me to decide that.

All right, Mannix, we're alone.

I want you to release Mrs.
Graham now... no haggling.

My dear fellow, I
may have to haggle

for the truth, because
I know nothing

about Mrs. Graham's
disappearance

or her present whereabouts.

You're lying.

You're perfectly free
to search the boat.

You could be
holding her anywhere.

I could indeed, but I'm not.

I have no reason
to deny the truth

if I thought it would
lead me to the Auroras.

And you didn't
have Jonah killed?

No.

Why should I?

I think he had the Auroras.

I think he got them the
other night in the park.

It's possible.

He was a greedy man.

Are you telling me
that whoever killed him

didn't find the
Auroras in the safe?

Apparently not.

And now this someone is under
the illusion that you have them?

That's right.

The idea does have a
certain currency, doesn't it?

If we can find out
who took Mrs. Graham,

it might point the
way to the Auroras.

Indeed it might.

You can help.

How?

I need the imitations.

For the ransom, of course.

Very good, Mannix, very good.

It's at moments like
this that I most resent

being chained to the darkness.

Orville!

Yes, sir?

Bring the jewel box.

Yes, sir.

There.

You see how
willing I am to help?

What's that?

I'd guess Mrs. Graham's
ransom instructions.

Someone just slipped
it through the mail slot.

What does it say?

"Leave jewels at
discarded anchor on rocks

at Point Fermin."

But doesn't it
mention Mrs. Graham?

When they get the jewels,
they'll release Mrs. Graham.

Do you believe that?

No, I don't.

What are you doing, Joe?

Whoever's after the Auroras

knows there's a stone
missing out of the brooch.

Don't you think they'll realize
that that's not the real thing?

Not even an expert
could tell the difference

without a jeweler's loupe.

By the time they find out,

I hope to have Lois
Graham back safe and sound.

Enjoy your swim, Lassiter?

Now put that down and
keep your hands in sight.

- Where's Lois Graham?
- Who?

I'm gonna ask you once more,
and then I'm gonna stop asking.

Where is she?

She's in the bedroom.

Show me.

All right, Lassiter,
over to the table.

Put your hands on it.

Move.

Now, put your feet back.

Come on, you know how it's done.

Now, you stay there until
I tell you you can move.

Lois?

Lois.

Joe.

It's all right.

I feel so...

dizzy.

You've probably been drugged.

Now, you just take it easy
and get your bearings...

while I have a
talk with our host.

You ought to be
grateful, Lassiter.

If Starr had found out you
were double-crossing him,

you'd have been
back on your knees

just before he told Orville
to blow your brains out.

How you feeling, Lois?

I never felt better.

Don't move.

Don't turn around.

Hands on the table.

You know how it's done.

- Nice going, sweetheart.
- Hm.

So the two of you killed Jonah.

Well, knowing Jonah,

we figured he probably
took the jewels for himself.

So Tony and I persuaded
him to open the safe.

And when the
Auroras weren't there,

you put Jonah in
the safe instead.

Well, unfortunately for Jonah,

he talked more
than his mynah bird.

That's what convinced
you I had the jewels, huh?

Jonah told you?

He was very convincing, Joe.

Well, I'm afraid you've
opened the wrong safe again.

Yeah? And what's in the box?

Hamilton Starr's set.

Paste.

You know, Mannix, I've
seen Starr's set maybe...

a hundred times.

There's no stone
missing from this brooch.

Only the real one.

Well, uh, I can explain that.

I took the stone out
earlier this afternoon.

Nice try, Mannix.

Put everything in the car.

I'll take care of him.

Don't let him
change that position.

Why, Lois?

Why not?

Why shouldn't I
have the Auroras?

Don't move.

Look, Joe,

I discovered early on that
when Howard married me

he didn't want a wife,

he only wanted
a nurse for Terry.

Not once in ten years

has he treated me as a woman.

Then I met Tony, and
my life began again.

He was the one who told me
that Howard had stolen the jewels.

I knew he hadn't
stolen them for me.

They were for Terry.

I decided he should
pay me back for my life.

It won't work, Lois.

It will.

I will make it work.

What I'm trying to tell you
is you won't get out of here.

There's nothing to stop us now.

Lois...

the police have been
one step behind me all day.

Then why aren't they here?

It's no bluff, Lois;
they will be here.

You're good, Joe,

but I'm not buying.

You're still shaving
it a little close, Art.

Sorry, Joe.

Charlie.

I had to lay back to give
you a chance, didn't I?

They were in it together.

It's all right, Mrs. Graham,
your friend will live.

He'll stand trial.

Well, that only leaves
the real Auroras.

There's only one
possible answer:

They're at Jonah's place.

What?!

Yeah, they've
been there all along.

Hello.

Oh. Hello.

Jonah.

Hello.

Not there.

- They've got to be here.
- Penny.

- It's not there.
- You have eyes, Orville!

- Use them!
- Jonah!

What do I pay you for?

Ha-ha-ha.

Orville.

- Orville?
- Shut that bird up!

- Hello.
- Will you shut up!

- No.
- Jonah...

Wait.

There was only
one living creature

Jonah would have trusted with
anything that belonged to him.

Hello.

Who'd ever think of looking
for something of value

at the bottom of a birdcage?

Look.

Hello.

Orville!

- Hello.
- I can't open it, Mr. Starr.

Mr. Starr, I can't open it.

Penny.

Well?

Hmm?

It's just, uh,
birdseed, Mr. Starr.

Are they beautiful, Orville?

As beautiful as we thought?

It's like I told you, Mr. Starr,
it's nothing but birdseed.

Nothing but a pair of eyes,
after all, aren't you, Orville?

You just couldn't keep
the greed out of your voice.

You're right, Mr. Starr.

You're always...

you're always right.

Yeah, I got 'em.

You can have 'em.

Give them to me, Orville.

Sure, come on.

Huh... Come on.

Come on, take 'em.

Take 'em for all your insults!

No, no...

- No, over here, come on...
- Hello.

Come on over here. Come on.

Come on, boy, here!

Come on!

Come on, take 'em for
always putting me down!

Come running over here!

Orville.

It's Joe Mannix, Starr.

Put down the gun.

Don't come any closer, Mannix.

This is Lieutenant Malcolm.

I'm here with two
police officers.

It's no use, Starr.

The treasure hunt is over.

Now put down the gun.

Put it down, Starr.

Get an ambulance.

Mannix...

the light in them...

is it fierce?

I've never seen
anything to match it.

Then it was worth it.
