The Fugitive (1963–1967): Season 2, Episode 19 - Fun and Games and Party Favors - full transcript

A young woman, desperate to be free of her mother's manipulating control, plans to marry a boy her mother doesn't approve of. Kimble tries to help but the girl's other suitor threatens to expose him if he interferes.

Hey. Hey, come on!

Hey, man.

Please. Oh, no, get off me.

Come on, now.

I thought I told you
you weren't invited.

Now, come on. Whoa, whoa,

hold it, big daddy.
We got an invitation.

Let's go. You too. No, you
too, come on outta here.

Hey, Phil, come on, buddy-boy.

Or what?

The police?



You gonna call the fuzz?

I gotta talk to you.

He's making noise
about calling the cops.

Wouldn't you? He can't.

Why?

A QM Production.

Starring David Janssen
as Dr. Richard Kimble.

An innocent victim
of blind justice,

falsely convicted for
the murder of his wife,

reprieved by fate when
a train wreck freed him

en route to the death house.

Freed him to hide
in lonely desperation,

to change his identity,
to toil at many jobs.

Freed him to search
for a one-armed man



he saw leave the
scene of the crime.

Freed him to run before
the relentless pursuit

of the police lieutenant
obsessed with his capture.

The co-stars in tonight's story:

Katherine Crawford.

Mark Goddard.

Joan Tompkins.

Anthony Call.

Douglas.

I came out to see if my
car had been cleaned.

I may want to use it.

Yes, ma'am, I
did it first thing.

Thank you.

Two years ago, this
man was Richard Kimble,

Doctor of Medicine.

Today, he is Douglas Beckett,

employed in the hills
above Los Angeles,

he is a trusted
chauffeur and gateman.

He is also still a fugitive.

Oh, Danny, where've you been?

Just working.

I telephoned everywhere.

Oh.

Wonderful things are happening.

You know my party tonight?

Mm-hm.

I want you to come.

It's okay with your folks?

It doesn't matter,
they won't be home.

It's just perfect.

Senator Barnes flew
into town yesterday

and tonight there's this
dinner party at the Cooper's.

And Mother just couldn't
let Daddy miss a...

A supper with Senator Barnes

and all those
government contracts.

So you see, it's just perfect.

I know, I know.

A duchess and a stable boy.

Oh, Danny.

Look, I...

I never wanted a
party without you there.

It was only that...
Well, I didn't ask you

because I wanted to save you
being embarrassed by anything...

Yeah,

by anything your
mother might say or do.

Aw, honey, I know, but...

But I don't know about this.

Yes?

Uh, Joanne?

Phil Andrews is
here to see you, dear.

Oh, Mother, can't you
tell him that I'm not in?

Uh, Warren, show Mr. Andrews
into the study, please.

Uh, Joanne?

He wants you to go
sailing with him, dear.

And really, it's been a month
since you've seen him at all.

Now, uh,

he's waiting in
the study for you.

Please come up.

I've gotta go get
rid of Phil Andrews.

Jonesy?

I don't wanna come
tonight behind their backs.

Can't we talk to your mother?

Do you want to tell her?

Well, I'd rather go
through that again than, uh,

sneak around anymore.

All right.

I'll go get rid of Phil
Andrews and we'll talk to her.

I won't be long.

Douglas.

Hi, Doug.

What's the good word?

Oh, chlorine.

I live in a whole little
world of chemical smells.

Chlorine, formaldehyde.

You know, I may give up pre-med

and take up making stink bombs.

Yeah. Have you registered yet?

No, registration's Monday.

You know, I think I might
take that course in embryology

I told you about.

I'd be the only
senior in the class...

Douglas?

Oh, Douglas, I want you
inside for a minute, please.

Good morning, Mrs. Glenn.

Well, Danny, isn't
tomorrow your day?

Yes, for the pool, uh...

But I, uh, wanted
to see Joanne so...

Why, I'm sorry,

Joanne has a visitor just now.

May I give her a message?

No, thanks. I was...

Well, uh, Douglas, as
soon as you're finished

then I'll see you inside.

Thank you. Yes, ma'am.

Hm. I really blew that.

What do you mean?

I wanted to ask her something
about the party tonight.

There still gonna be a party?

Yeah, why wouldn't there be?

I got the, uh,
feeling that Joney

was going away for the weekend.

No, maybe tomorrow.

She, uh, she wants
me to come tonight.

Seems, uh, her folks
won't be home to com...

Object.

Since you volunteered
your confidence,

I'll volunteer a little, uh,

advice for what it's worth.

If you're really
serious about Jonesy,

I think she needs a guy

that'll stand up to
her mother and father.

For what it's worth.

We wouldn't have
to go sailing, Joanne.

We could do anything you like.

Just, uh, bum around,
uh, fly someplace.

I don't know.

Well, I have several
things planned,

but it's very lovely
seeing you again, Phil.

Bye, now.

Okay, bye.

Goodbye, Mrs. Glenn.

Goodbye, Phil.

Joanne.

Hey, there, good buddy.

Phil.

New car?

Yeah, I traded with my cousin.

Real nice.

Uh, you coming
to the party tonight?

What party?

Oh, uh,

I heard Joanne was
having some kind of a blast,

but I'm probably wrong.

Ah, maybe she'll call me later.

You, uh, doing our pool today?

Yeah, in a little while.

Holler for me, I've
got a cold beer.

Okay, you've got
yourself a customer.

Darling, Phil Andrews
is right for you

and you've had
a-a nice friendship

and you'll both mature together.

I'm asking you, Mother,

stop pushing him at me.

Pushing him at you?

He irritates me. Hasn't
anyone ever irritated you?

Isn't that a little petty?

I hope you won't be
as rude to him tonight

as you were just now.

He isn't coming tonight.

I didn't invite him, Mother.

Remember, I don't want him.

But they're all
your mutual friends,

I mean, people who
know both of you.

What of it?

Joanne, I'm afraid I'm
going to have to instruct you.

Call Phil and invite him.

Is that quite clear?

Douglas, I've
already told Warren

where I want the furniture.

Uh, but I think you'll
have to help him move it.

My suggestion is
we start with the sofa.

Danny?

Danny?

Can we talk to her now?

No, forget it.
Just come tonight.

What happened?

Same thing that always happens.

Mother arranges things.

But this isn't her
party, it's mine.

It's ours.

Danny, I told you
that it was important

for you to come tonight.

This is going to be
our wedding party.

We're going to elope.

Aw, Jonesy, come on, now.

We've been over
this and over it.

Look, I'm sick and tired

of talking about getting
married someday.

I want it to be now.

I love you. I mean it.

And I love you. And I don't
want your folks being sore at you

for the rest of your life.

They'll accept
it after it's done.

No, Jonesy.

Look, it's not far to Mexico,

and-and this is
the perfect night.

The kids will keep the
party alive to cover for us.

We'll use my car.

Danny.

Please?

No, Jonesy, I... I don't think
I'd even better come tonight.

Danny, please.

Now, Douglas, I'm
sure you understand

that it will by impossible

for Mr. Glenn and
me to stay in tonight.

I understand.

And the youngsters
seem to respect you,

so, um, I'm putting
you in charge.

You're to chaperon
my daughter's party.

Uh, these are the guests.

The, uh, only guests.

Anyway, uh,

I, uh... I didn't mean
to mention a party, Phil.

Forget it. What the hey?

I just don't score with
Joanne, you know?

She just probably
forgot. Forget it.

That's a kooky hobby you've got.

Some guys collect stamps...

some guys collect dames.

Look, Phil, uh,
thanks for the beer.

I better go down
and do your pool.

Okay, so what if I just
showed up over there?

Just went?

It's not my party.

It's none of my business.

Well, who'd be there to stop us?

I mean, like, say, Buzzy
and Joe and I went over?

The chauffeur and
the houseman, I guess.

Warren?

What about the chauffeur?
He give us any trouble?

Oh, you'd have to ask him.

Wanna go with us?

No, thanks.

Okay.

But, uh, maybe I'll try it.

Uh, Buzz?

Phil.

Yeah, yeah. Uh,

how'd you and, uh, Joe
like to go to a party tonight?

Charles, we're
gonna be very late.

What are you doing, dear?

Hm?

Well, actually, I'm
kind of regretting

that we made this
engagement for tonight.

Oh, Charles, you
and your insecurity.

Oh, I don't mean Senator Barnes.

Well, of course not.

He doesn't impress
you, you impress him.

Senators are not
superior beings, you know,

they just have superior
influence where it counts.

Well, I could see him during
business hours, you know.

Darling, you're a
brilliant organizer.

I want the Senator to know

that you are a charming,
brilliant organizer.

Well, it still bothers
me leaving Joanne

with this party. A
house full of kids.

They're young adults, my dear,

and they're all from
the very best families.

You know,

I think we can look
forward to a very nice match

for our daughter.

Young Phil Andrews is coming

and he is seriously interested.

Hello, Warren. Good
evening, Warren.

I know all these kids,
they're on the list.

Well, Douglas,

try to maintain reasonable
order, won't you?

They're good kids. They
won't be any trouble.

And I think you
should give Douglas

the Cooper's phone number, dear.

Oh, it's Brighton
something or oth...

It's, uh, in the book by
the phone in the study.

Yes, sir. I want you to call us,

uh, say about 10:00? All right.

Mm-hm, in case
your evening gets dull.

Oh, Charles,
we're terribly late.

Where's, uh...? Oh, there.

Excuse me.

Have a lovely evening, dear.

We'll try not to be late.

Thank you. What do I wish you?

Success?

Thank you.

Is, uh...?

Phil's not here.

I didn't ask him.

"Etiology of Delinquent
and Criminal Behavior."

You know, you gotta be a
brain just to read the titles.

What's etiology?

Causes and reasons.

Oh.

You know, you could
start your own FBI.

Just a hobby.

Keeps me out of trouble.

You know, man, if you ever
grabbed somebody like that,

can you imagine?

Pow.

Pictures in the
paper, TV, flashbulbs.

A long shot.

Joe's here, come on. Party time.

Oh, wait.

Just the chauffeur. You're sure?

I'm sure.

Okay.

Charge.

How's it goin'?

Welcome to the party.

Excuse us, I've
gotta steal him away.

We'll be right back.

You came, you came,
I knew you'd come.

Mm.

Okay, I... I came to the party.

That doesn't mean we're eloping.

But, Danny, it does.

Honey, people just don't
elope without making plans.

Oh, but I have. I have
a suitcase all packed

for us in my car.

Seriously? Mm-hm.

I did it this morning
before I saw you at the pool.

And yesterday I
went shopping for you

and bought everything.

Size 10 and a half socks.
And 15 and a half 33 shirt.

And a razor and your
favorite shaving things.

Mm.

And the Country Squire in Laguna

has the bridal suite reserved

for Mr. and Mrs.
Daniel Harvey Holt.

Why didn't you tell me?

Well, I thought it would
be a pleasant surprise.

Maybe I'm wrong, hm?

Honey, uh, you
know I love you, but...

Well, I know you say you do.

Well, now if there's any doubt
in your mind about that, uh,

you sure don't want
me for a husband.

Danny, all I want is you.

If you don't take
me away I'll be...

I'll be sent to the
proper schools,

and married to the proper man,

and join all the proper clubs,

and live a lovely,
proper, nothing life.

And the thought
of it tears me apart.

Look, I-I love my mother

but I can't stand
up to her any longer

so it's got to be now,

tonight for us, or...

I don't know what I'll do.

All right, Jonesy.

Okay.

Now our only hurdle is Douglas.

Once we get
passed him, I'm free.

Hi, there. Name please.

Joe. Just a moment...

Only invited guests are...

Now is the time
for all good crashers

to come to the aid of the party.

Am I right? Huh?

Uh, you're wrong.

Oh, if you're the
Glenn's chauffeur,

I'm Phil Andrews, uh,

we're friends of Joanne's.

Are your names on the list?

No, he isn't.

Joanne, it's three more guys.

Maybe it's my fault, Jonesy.

No, I'm sorry, my
mother set a limit.

That's it, fellows. Sorry.

Only the names
on the list, let's go.

Come on.

It's all right.

They just got a little mixed up.

Now, everybody happy?

Crash, he said.

Big operator.

Yeah, I wonder if he's
got any other big ideas.

So what do we care?

Let's go to the
castle. I'll buy, okay?

Oh, heh, I'm not hungry.

Hey, why don't we
drop Phil off at his place?

We've had it.

Gee, honey, I'm
awfully sorry about Phil,

I-I made a bigmouth goof,

I mentioned the party to him.

Well, at least
we got rid of him.

He's the type that would
try to make trouble for us.

You didn't tell him about
the elopement, did you?

No. No.

I've got a feeling
Douglas is wise.

Why?

Well, this afternoon,

he said something
about, uh, you going away.

He must have seen me
put my things in the car.

He's pretty sharp.

Hey.

Hey, baby, over
here, chop, chop.

Right here. Coming.

Here, honey, for
your hope chest.

Hey, there, good buddies.

All of a sudden I got so hungry.

Still wanna go to the party?

Do you like getting
kicked out on your tail?

Not tonight. Not anymore.

It just so happens I got a pass.

Oh, a pass, huh?

Maybe your, uh,
chauffeur-type can't read.

He can read this.

I'll have him down
on his knees, begging.

"Yes, sir, please sir.

Walk right in, sir".

What do you say?

What do you say?

He means it.

Let's get it on.

Twist my arm.

Hey, Dave? Party, come on.

Hey, party time.

Hey, hey, come on, guys.

Not the whole gang.

You guys know where it is?

Joanne Glenn's place.

Listen, they can't,
not all of them.

All right, you'll have to move
some cars to get mine out.

The keys are in it. Hurry.

No, no trouble, Mr. Glenn.

I had to turn away
a couple of boys

who came without invitations.

But they left peacefully.

Well, Douglas, I'm
sorry this has happened.

I'm sorry you got
saddled with it.

Now, you're sure that
nobody's feelings were hurt?

All right. Now, uh,

we'll be here at the Cooper's
for perhaps another hour

and then we're coming home.

Charles.

Yes, now, call if you need us.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

What happened?

Well, Douglas had to turn
away a few uninvited friends.

Oh, is that all?

Well, it's enough.

Well, it isn't a crisis.

Oh, I didn't call it that.

But you said we'd be
home in an hour. We can't.

We should be home now.

Oh, Charles, why don't you
have some confidence in Joanne?

I do. I do.

But I just don't like
leaving her welfare

to a chauffeur and a butler.

Well, really, you...

It isn't the time or
the place to argue.

Madge?

Look, can't we...?
Can't we just politely say

our thank you's and leave?

No, we cannot.

The senator wants to go to
that new little club on Pico.

Well, get us out of it.

No, Charles, it
was my suggestion.

Then get me out of it.

I'm not going on any
round of night clubs,

I'm going home.

Alone?

Wouldn't that be sweet?

Madge... Madge,
does this nonsense...?

Is it really so
important to you?

Your position is important to
your wife and to your daughter,

even if you don't think so.

Now, Charles, I've worked hard

for whatever we've
achieved tonight.

Don't throw it away, hm?

Shut it off.

Where are you going?

Out.

Come on, Danny.

I need some fresh air.

Where's your car?

I like this one better.

Because it comes complete
with Joney's suitcase in the trunk?

All right, what are you, uh,

the Gestapo or just a nosey guy?

You sound like, uh,
about 10 years old.

You're not gonna
stop us, Douglas.

You and Joney think you're
going to elope, is that it?

You're a real smart guy.

No, actually, I'm pretty stupid.

I thought you and Joney
were a couple of kids

who might really be in love.

We are.

Yeah, sure.

You act like it.

You face the problems
like real adults, don't you?

What other chance have we got?

Her folks treat me like dirt.

My-my aunt and
uncle, they just laugh.

They call it puppy love.

What are you
making it look like?

Douglas, Joanne
and I have been in love

for almost three years.

Do you know what that's like?

One girl, nobody else.

And loving her

and wanting all
the time to touch her

and at the same time
hating yourself for wanting to.

Yeah.

You got, uh, a year
of college left, right?

Then what about med school?

He's going to med school.

I don't suggest you
interfere with this, Douglas,

stick to your cars

or you may be fired tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

Tonight, your parents
left me in charge.

Oh, and does my mother pay
you an extra bonus for spying?

Look, Douglas,
we love each other.

Well, then why do this
behind peoples' backs?

We're not hurting
anyone, we're...

We're going to get married
and he'll go to medical school.

With a wife to support?

I've got money of my own.

And if it's not
enough, I'll get a job.

Where are you
gonna leave the baby?

There won't be any baby.

At least not for a while.

Oh, I don't think you're mature
enough to handle that either.

So go ahead, run
away. She can afford it.

But you can't buy
an M.D. degree.

Med school is
tough. It's very tough.

You won't see much of each
other but you won't be bored.

No, you'll be studying
night and day.

Saturdays and Sundays.

And you'll be running things.

Your own life your own way,
that's all you want, isn't it?

Douglas, it's tough to wait.

People wait. Animals don't.

All right, so he'll
call my parents

but it'll be too late. Let's go.

Joanne.

What're you doing?

We're not going.

Danny.

Danny, look, you can't
let him talk us out of this.

Just because he said...

A couple of pretty
important things.

He can't tell us what
to do. Nobody can.

I am not going to let
another person ever

arrange one more day of my life.

But you're arranging mine.

Danny... Danny, look, it's us.

Jonesy, honey,

it makes me sick to my
stomach to argue with you.

Maybe that's why your father
never argues with your mother.

That's why she rules him.
Well, now she's ruling us.

She's making us do
something that isn't right

just because she
disapproves of me.

Well, that's not reason enough.

Danny, I'm warning you, don't...

Jonesy, don't put it like that.

Let's try to stand up to people.

Jonesy...

Hey... Please.

You can't just...
Please. Stop it.

I thought I told you
you weren't invited.

Now, come on. Whoa,
hold it, big daddy.

We got an invitation.

Let's go, you too. No, you
too, come on, out of here.

Hey, Phil, come on, buddy-boy.

Or what?

The police?

You gonna call the fuzz?

I'd rather not do that.

Why not?

You need help.
Go ahead, call 'em.

Look, I don't wanna
get you kids into trouble.

I just want you out of here.

Hey, Joanne?

Douglas.

My, you're
persistent, aren't you?

I'm sorry, Joanne, I didn't
think there'd be so many.

Let them stay.

I want them here.

Douglas, pick up the vase.

Oh, they're all friends
of hers, Douglas,

uh, they're pretty good kids.

Hm.

I'm going upstairs
to change my clothes.

Be down in a little while.

Have fun.

Yes.

Well, no, I was trying to
reach a Mr. Charles Glenn.

Forget it.

Hey, guys, look. Spaghetti.

Hey, here we go!

I betcha there's
some upstairs, huh?

No. Listen...

Do you wanna go get some booze?

Dave...?

Hello, sergeant,
there's a party going on

at the Charles Glenn residence,

uh, that's on Little Fox
Road above Sunset.

L-look, it's getting a
little out of hand, uh,

maybe you better send one
of your patrol cars over here.

Yes, it's, uh, 7-1-3...

Now, I went along with
this because somebody said

that you were
friends of the Glenns,

and that you were nice kids.

Now, if there's any more damage,

I'm gonna do
everything I have to

to get you out of here.

Thank you.

Danny.

I gotta talk to you.

He's making noise
about calling the cops.

Wouldn't you? He can't.

Why?

I, uh, read the
background stuff on him.

Supposed to
have killed his wife.

He confess?

You don't confess
when you got a chance.

Circumstantial
evidence like that.

That's all and nothing else?

He was tried and convicted.

Danny, we could call
the cops... Shut up.

Danny, you don't get
many chances like this.

Headlines, pictures
in the papers, TV.

We split it down the
middle, you and me...

Would you lay off?

I'm gonna handle this, Phil.

I want you to keep
your mouth shut,

and I mean it.

My ankle.

It's twisted, Doug.

Clean this place up.

I'm gonna take him to his room.

The party's over.

Understand? The party is over.

Come on.

Don't break your back.

No, you just don't walk away.

Hey, liquor cabinet's locked.

We couldn't get it open.

Maybe we better forget it.

Wonder where Joanne's room is.

She probably knows
where the key is.

Hey, Joanne? JOANNE: Who called?

Hey, Joanne... Hey...

Uh, Joanne, where's the
key to the liquor cabinet?

What's the matter?
The party getting dull?

No, we just thought that maybe
we'd spike the punch, you know?

Oh, well, I'll be
down after a while

and we'll see what we can do.

Hm.

Uh, Buzzy, listen, don't...

Need any help, Joanne?

Come on, now,

all I want is one
lousy little kiss.

Me, too, baby.

Come on.

Now, you get 'em out of here.

All of them, right now. Come on.

All right, come on,
let's get out of here.

Come on.

Danny, I'm sorry.

That goes for you too, kid.

Savages. Savages. Savages.

Are you all right?

Didn't you see?

I didn't like what I saw.

I saw you ask for that.

Now are...? Are you all right

or are you just feeling
sorry for yourself?

Danny... You better
take a cold shower.

Danny... Danny.

Danny, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Douglas?

Doug, I, uh...

I just called the cops
a few minutes ago.

Thanks, Danny.

Make sure they
get the right kids.

In my opinion,

it was just a thoroughly
successful evening.

That's what Joanne
wished us when we left.

Remember?

Did she?

Success?

I'm wondering if she was
avoiding things like, uh,

have a good time,
have fun, be happy...

Oh, Charles, you're
not still peeved, are you?

Everything's going so well.

According to plan?

You know, we built everything
according to your plan

and specifications, Madge,

and I'm not real sure we
haven't built something ugly.

Who's in charge here?

I, uh, I... I made
the call, officer.

Party-crashers, huh?

You think we got 'em all?

I don't know. I'd have to check.

You the chaperon?

Mrs. Glenn left
me in charge, yes.

Okay, Danny, now?

You open your mouth, Phil,

and I'll tell them exactly
who started this little circus.

Wait.

Wait.

Well, it looks like we
got here none too soon.

You wanna prefer charges?

That'll be up to
Mr. and Mrs. Glenn.

Where are they?

Out.

What does this mean?
What does this mean?

Now, easy, Madge. Mrs. Glenn,

if you'll just try to
calm... You shut up.

I left you in charge.
Where were you?

Where were you?

Officer, I want the
responsibility for this fixed.

Maybe Douglas just
did that, Mrs. Glenn.

You. He's the one.

No, he's not.

He was the one that called us.

I tried to reach you at
the Cooper's residence.

Then I called two
or three night clubs.

You folks wanna prefer charges?

Well, I don't know... Th...

But that's Phil Andrews,
and Buzzy Phelps?

Mary... Uh, Charles?

Well, I... I guess you
better move the car.

I'm afraid we'll have to know

if you intend to press
charges, Mrs. Glenn.

They're all from good families,

people we know socially.

People my husband
does business with.

We'll press charges.

All right, whose nice,

bright little idea was this?

The brain.

Big time Charlie.

Look, I just wanted...

He's gone.

Grab him. That's Kimble.

That's Richard Kimble.

Look, you'll lose him.
He's an interstate fugitive,

a murderer. That's Kimble!

Danny, show them.
Show them the picture.

There's, uh, been a little
bit of drinking going on...

I bet there was. Danny...

What did you say your name was?

I asked for your name. Please!

Andrews. Phil Andrews.

Where's Joanne?

So we finally get
around to your daughter.

Is she all right?

Well, that all depends

how you mean the
questions, Mr. Glenn.

Uh, some of her friends
gave her a pretty bad time.

They might have even
treated her worse than they did

your house or your reputation.

She's upstairs.

Danny, we're, uh,

not unwilling to discuss
these matters with you,

it's just that...

I'm still so terribly upset.

Mother, so am I.

And, uh, I have
business people here.

Mrs. Glenn,

Joanne and I are
going to be married.

Now or later. We
don't have to wait.

I have the permission
of my guardians

and Joanne's old enough.

She doesn't need yours.

Well, now, you are
planning to go back to school.

How do you expect to
support my daughter?

Not your daughter.

My wife.

Charles?

Go on, Danny.

I've worked very hard for
my education, Mrs. Glenn.

I want the rest
of it. All of it.

We also want your blessings.

We'll work for that.

Right now we wanna talk

about how, and when, and where.

I think we ought
to talk about it now.

All right, dear.

Go tell the insurance
man to call me later tonight.

The world in which
young people get married,

and share love and build dreams,

is a thousand
miles from the world

in which Richard Kimble walks.

The world of pursuit and fear.

The world of a fugitive.
