01x17 - The Chameleon

[bunniefuu]

[theme music]

[humming]

Stephen?

Yes, Harriet.

'I think it came off well, don't you?'

Indeed I do, sweetheart.

'Did you hear how we came out?'

No.

'Well the expenses were only about $600'

and a little over 3000 for the orphanage.

Wonderful.

'I told you a dance would be better'

'than one of those home talent plays.'

'Nobody cares about them anymore.'

'Of course, the actors do.'

[Harriet continues humming]

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[Harriet continues humming]

Darling, will you help me with this zipper? It's stuck.

'In here.'

Stephen, what are you doing?

I'm going to plaster up the vault.

But why?

Because I won't be needing it any longer.

But I thought you said you were expecting

some money from Mexico. Some, some cash.

I lied.

Darling, I don't understand, why did you go

to the trouble of building the vault

and putting the false wall in and..

I had to have some place to hide your body, sweetheart.

[gasping] 'Aah!'

[dramatic music]

[whistling]

[theme music]

[male narrator] "The FBI."

A Quinn Martin, Warner Bros. production.

Starring Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.

Also starring Philip Abbott

Stephen Brooks

with guest star

James Daly

and special guest star

Margaret Leighton.

Tonight's episode, "The Chameleon."

[instrumental music]

[Victor] 'The genuine security was produced'

'by the Victoria Banknote Company.'

'On this one, 50 percent of the lines'

'in the seal are not printed.'

'The knife marks don't match those of the genuine'

'indicating the use of a different cutting machine.'

The black ink, it's glossy.

On the genuine, a dull ink is used.

'The vignette, um, lacks the detail charactered lineation'

'of the, uh, genuine instrument.'

There are eight other discrepancies.

All significant.

Doesn't leave much room for doubt, does it, Vic?

You can presume forger, inspector.

- Hmm. - Ten thousand dollars.

I hope whoever sent this in can afford the loss.

Question is, can his bank afford it?

He's the executive vice president

and he's holding 99 more of these.

The security for a cash loan.

A million dollars.

[phone buzzing]

Quinlan.

Yes, he's here.

Rhodes. For you.

Yes, Jim.

Lou, Harvey's got a call

from the Nebraska Exchange Bank.

He enquired about that General Electronics bond you sent.

- It's fraudulent. - Wow.

Well, then, Scott's afraid that his bank might be the center

of quite a fancy little swindle.

Seems the Nebraska Exchange has financed four new banks

in that state, all in the last few months.

They're all holding the same securities.

- Hm. Sounds like a pyramid. - Mm-hm.

He also mentioned a Stephen Fitzgerald

who might be involved.

Seems he married the widow of the late owner

about six months ago

and took over control of the bank.

[instrumental music]

Oh, Harvey. I'm glad I caught you before you left for the day.

- Have you got a minute? - Yes, sir, of course. Come in.

Harvey, one of the General Electronics bonds is missing.

Would you know anything about that?

Yes, sir. I took it.

I signed a receipt.

You took it? Why?

Because I think it's a forgery.

I had it sent to the FBI to find out.

Well, that rather reflects on me a bit, doesn't it?

After all, I arranged for that loan.

I accepted those bonds.

What are you trying to do to this bank, Mr. Fitzgerald?

I'm trying to help it grow, Harvey.

With a little imagination

I've expanded one small-town bank

into a state-wide chain.

And not one of the links is solvent.

Harvey, you know what's wrong with you?

May I be honest?

Progress frightens you, I think. And it shouldn't.

I wish you could've seen what I did

with the New England chain.

Mr. Fitzgerald, may I be honest?

I have friends in New England banking circles.

They never heard of you.

Friends?

At least they've never heard of you

under the name of Fitzgerald.

What did you say?

What name were you using in New England?

If you were ever there.

- I was there. - I don't believe you.

- Who are you to question-- - The question is, who are you?

- I am Stephen Fitzgerald. - Are you?

Stephen Fitzgerald.

And where is your wife?

What happened to Harriet?

What did you do to her?

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[woman over PA] 'Flight 577, non-stop for Washington'

'may now be boarded at Gate 5.'

- Inspector Erskine? - Yeah.

I'm Wayne Hamlin, senior resident and agent.

How are you, Hamlin? This is Jim Rhodes.

- Hello. - Hi, Jim.

Inspector, I was able to get

five agents from the Omaha office.

They're all accountants. They're here in Greenfield now.

Good. We'll move out to the other branches tomorrow

if we find anything here.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

You accused him.

Mr. Erskine, I know I shouldn't have said anything

but I couldn't help it.

If you had any idea of how I detested that man.

Hamlin, get on it fast.

His house, highways, terminals.

Find him and keep him under surveillance

until we confirm a charge.

I'll need a picture of him, Mr. Scott.

I don't have one. I've never even seen one.

What about newspaper photographs?

He always made me represent the bank publicly.

Said he preferred to remain in the background.

I'll get a description.

Jim, get going with the examination of the books.

The case here, we gotta find it before we can touch him.

Yes, sir.

[Lewis sighs]

[instrumental music]

You're sure?

Hold on.

Jim, what have you got so far?

Forged notes, cashier's checks

issued under fraudulent accounts.

All with Fitzgerald's brand on them.

Hamlin, go ahead with the all-points.

Looks like just a start.

We got enough for a warrant.

There won't be any trouble in catching him

will there, inspector, I mean, with the FBI after him?

Trouble?

Do you realize that Stephen Fitzgerald

doesn't even exist, Mr. Scott?

And never did except for the time

he spent in Greenfield?

He's an actor playing a part.

And you can bet your life he's in rehearsal

for his next performance right now.

You'd think, wouldn't you, inspector, that a man

smart enough to become executive vice president

of a bank would be smart enough to keep his mouth shut.

I-I'm sorry.

Is there anything I can do to help?

There may be.

The FBI maintains an extensive file on confidence men

thousands of methods of operation

bits and pieces of evidence

phony newspaper clippings

theater tickets, toothbrushes, lists of aliases.

You'll collect that sort of thing on Fitzgerald?

We probably already have from prior complaints

and that's where you can help us.

By telling us everything you know about him. Everything.

And maybe we can match him with the file in Washington

and maybe we can find out who this man is we're looking for.

[instrumental music]

[male #1] 'One-way, Omaha to Dallas.'

'That's flight 21, Gate 11.'

Leaves at 10:47.

Have a pleasant trip, Mr. Stevens.

[music continues]

I suggested that he had used another name in New England.

And when I asked him point-blank who he was

that's when he hit me.

'Is that important?'

Identity is important to all of us, isn't it?

Did his, um..

...his wife tell you how they met?

It was a very emotional business, apparently.

He told her she looked so much like his first wife

that he almost fainted when he saw her.

- And, uh, where was this? - At a charity function.

For the Green Haven Children's Home.

An orphanage.

It's ironic, you know.

Harriet's devotion to charity

ultimately led to her death.

Oh, he k*lled her, Mr. Erskine.

I don't know how

and the police can't prove she's even dead

but he did it.

I know he did it.

And he planned to do it right from the very beginning.

[instrumental music]

[indistinct chatter]

- Mrs. Hunter? - Yes.

Louise..

Oh, oh, what is it? Are you alright?

- I'm so sorry. - No, sit down.

Now, you just stay right there

and, uh, I'll go and find a doctor.

Oh, no. Please, wait.

- I just can't believe this. - Believe what?

I look like someone you know, is that it?

My wife.

She died last year.

I'm so sorry.

Mrs. Hunter, my name is Stevens.

What I really came to see you about..

...is this.

Will you accept this? In memory of my wife?

Why, thank you very much, Mr. Stevens.

Well, that's very, very generous of you.

Thank you so much.

[clanks]

Well..

Mrs. Hunter, please forgive me but, uh..

Is there somewhere we could meet again?

I-I'm sorry, but I'm afraid, I'm not..

Of course. I understand. I'm sorry.

Oh, uh, Mr. Stevens.

You know, there's a time

for being proper and a time for being human.

W-would you invite me for a cup of coffee at the stand?

[instrumental music]

[theme music]

[Lewis] 'Well, there he is, Stephen Fitzgerald.'

'All that's left of him.'

'The fraudulent bond you examined'

'uh, phony clippings, some cancelled checks.'

'one of them a $3000 donation to an orphanage.'

And an envelope that once held a plane ticket

from Greenfield to Fort Wayne, Indiana. June 12th.

Oh, he left a complete wardrobe behind.

We brought along one outfit to establish his size.

Here's the report, Vic. The MO's pretty clear.

Mm-hmm.

The clipping file might give us a lead on this.

And, uh, I'll search securities file for a similar forgery

if this wasn't Fitzgerald's first time madness

It certainly doesn't look like it was.

I'll turn up a name for you.

If I can't

Carter Fox can.

He's got a memory that would make a computer

turn green with envy.

Hope some of this rings a bell, Carter.

Well, heh..

He's no penny-ante sh**ter, is he?

That narrows it down.

Now, met woman victim, married her.

Got control of her money.

Well, there's nothing exclusive there.

Donations to orphanage. That's a good come-on.

Wife disappeared.

No trace.

No trace..

- Tell you somethin'? - Maybe, maybe.

Let me study this a while, inspector.

I'll-I'll get it over to Vic Quinlan.

I'll compare notes with him

and we'll let you know.

Thanks.

[instrumental music]

[sighs]

[chuckles] What a wonderful evening.

Thank you again.

- Where's the moon? - Down.

Down?

Well..

I haven't been up as late as this sin..

Since you're husband died?

We had 15 wonderful years

but everything ends.

Even morning.

Amy..

...do you like me?

[chuckles]

Yes.

I'm glad.

I'd hate to be married to a woman who didn't like me.

To me? Oh..

- Don't laugh. - 'Oh.'

I mean it.

Before this week is out, I'm going to marry you.

[instrumental music]

[Victor] 'Wasn't too difficult, inspector.'

We have petered about, uh, half a dozen cross files.

He's used the, uh, same clipping gag several times.

Used the, uh, same securities forger for ten years.

Been to Fort Wayne before it too.

Picked up a book of matches there

theatre stop picked up a year later.

He's got quite a thing on orphanages.

Found three more checks for big donations.

Three different states.

Three different signatures.

How about the missing wife? That's happened before too.

Twice that we know of.

Oh, that many wives can't stay missing and still be alive.

Meeting his victims at some charity affair for an orphanage.

That's a definite part of his MO.

That, that never varies.

Why orphanages?

Well, Vic, you haven't said anything about a true identity.

I was hoping you wouldn't ask.

I can give you a choice of around 20 aliases

'beginning with Gerald Fitzroy.'

Hm. You have pictures?

'Artist inception. That's all.'

Alright. Wirephoto this to Omaha

get an artist to interview the people in Nebraska Exchange.

Maybe we can improve on it.

Jim, boil down this MO and get it in the wire

to all field officers.

Tell 'em to let us know the minute

anything similar turns up.

Here we go again.

It could be six months to a year before it repeats.

And it could be a week.

Amazing how conmen run true to form.

Yep. Most of them could make a million legitimately.

They never seem to maybe willing

to settle for what they really are.

Always pretending to be somebody else.

Gives them a, I don't know, an identity.

Carter, you're an expert. Let me ask you something.

Suppose Fitzgerald literally

doesn't know who he is.

The orphanages?

That could be an obsession with him.

Yes, you know, that struck me too.

It was when his name was challenged

that he became violent.

Erskine, I'd like to talk to Mr. Harvey Scott

in the Nebraska Exchange Bank in Greenfield, Nebraska, please.

[instrumental music]

Fort Wayne, Indiana?

Why, no, inspector

uh, he had no reason to go there that I know of.

You're sure you had no banking business there?

Positive.

Did he ever mention an orphanage in Fort Wayne?

Not to me. Why?

Oh, nothing, it's just a thought.

Well, thanks, Mr. Scott.

Uh, Jane, would you get me the first flight

to Fort Wayne, Indiana, please? Two seats.

[instrumental music]

Yeah, but why Fort Wayne?

There's a pattern forming.

Orphanages and Fort Wayne, two things keep reappearing.

I got a hunch they belong together.

It's quite a long shot.

Aren't most things in our business?

Mm-hm.

Even more than into Fitzgerald's.

[music continues]

You're friends aren't going to believe this.

Well, it's my life.

I can just hear them now.

"Married?"

"But you don't even know this character."

I know all I need to.

I know that this character's kind

and intelligent

and gentle.

And rich.

At least, I thought so

until I was told I couldn't have a honeymoon.

[both chuckle]

You'll have your honeymoon

as soon as my Mexican money gets in.

I don't know why they don't send you a cashier's check.

It's a matter of taxes, Amy.

You see, the money comes across the Mexican border in cash

it's straight income.

Then I invest it, build it up

and declare the returns.

That way I wind up with more and so does Uncle Sam.

Yes, but, but isn't it dangerous

having all that cash around?

I mean, what do you do with it

'if you can't put it in the bank?'

I'll show you when we get home.

[saw buzzing]

[dramatic music]

[buzzing continues]

[groans]

I'd have thought a potential millionaire

could afford a carpenter.

You don't like my work?

Oh, I think it's beautiful.

Had no idea you are so talented.

I'll never stop bragging.

No, Amy

nobody must know about this wall

but you and me. Just us.

It's too dangerous.

- Promise? - Of course.

John..

...are you really happy?

There's only one thing that could make me happier

to have you all to myself

alone, forever.

I'm going to do it too.

There's a place I know in Hawaii

high above the ocean.

We'll build our home there.

You sold me.

But what about my business property here?

Sell it.

Who do you love, your business property or me?

You.

Always and forever.

[instrumental music]

[Lewis] 'Right off the wire from Greenfield.'

We'll have prints made

description and alias list for each of your men.

How many can you give us, Dan?

As many as you want.

After all, how many orphanages and juvenile halls

are there in Fort Wayne?

Fitzgerald's last known trip there was June 12th.

Somebody ought to recognize him.

[crickets chirping]

John, are you mad at me?

Mad at you?

No, no, no. I was just thinking, Amy.

What about?

Alright, about Hawaii, about our home.

Hawaii?

I was serious about that, Amy.

We are going.

There's only one thing.

Well, don't stop now.

I want to retire, Amy.

I mean, for good.

I mean, in style.

An opportunity came to me today

one of those once-in-a-lifetime propositions.

I could triple my investment overnight.

Oh, well, that's marvelous, isn't it?

It could be

if I could raise the cash fast enough.

Well, what about the money from Mexico?

It's going to be delayed, there's been some trouble

at the mines, a temporary shut down.

Well, couldn't you liquidate some of the other holdings?

They're mostly long term deals.

I couldn't possibly jar enough loose to swing it.

[instrumental music]

I'll need at least a quarter of a million.

John...maybe I could.

Could what?

Jar-loose the money you need.

Well, I mean, th-the property here in Dallas.

I've already had offers to sell it.

We always said we would when the time came.

Well, maybe now it is the time.

No. Amy, I can't let you do that.

Absolutely not.

- Absolutely not? - Absolutely.

[engine starts]

We'll see.

[music continues]

[instrumental music]

One of my men just radioed in.

He found your orphanage, inspector.

"Children's Refuge."

Fitzgerald lived there for 15 years.

Did I say long shot?

[instrumental music]

Twenty years ago, I wouldn't have been surprised

to learn the FBI was looking for Michael, Mr. Erskine.

He was an incorrigible child..

...a pathological liar, ran away at 15..

- Oh, sit down, gentlemen. - Thank you.

But I thought he changed so much through years

I really thought so.

Came back a half dozen times

gave us a $1000 donation.

Took the cash right out of his wallet.

Oh, here.

The young man said you'd like to read our records.

It's fairly complete

gives the details of how he came to us.

Stephen A., is that his real name?

No. We never knew.

He was a foundling.

Did that bother him?

Funny you should ask that, Mr. Rhodes.

Of course, that sort of thing bothers all the children.

But I never saw a boy so disturbed

by not knowing who his parents were

'nor a man so determined to find them.'

Sometimes I think that's why he came back

just to see if we learned anything.

I'd like to study this record, Ms. Lawrence, if you don't mind.

Certainly, inspector.

But there won't be much to help you there, I'm afraid.

As I said, we tried everything.

Of course, you are professional investigators

Now, that could make a difference.

[instrumental music]

Found on the back porch of the orphanage.

February 27th, 1922, about one week old.

Now, let's see, that would make, Fitzgerald, what, uh, 43.

New wicker basket

cloth and expensive garments

blue satin trim blanket with $500 in cash pinned to it.

Penchant for cash runs in the family.

It's a note.

'"God forgive me and protect my baby."'

You know, Jim, this might just do it.

It's distinctive enough handwriting.

Oh, Lou, that note's 43 years old.

Parents obviously had money.

So, the mother was probably cared for in a hospital.

And hospitals keep records.

- Birth certificate? - No, the doctor fills that out.

I was thinking of the admission form.

Take my word for it, Arthur.

If we can find out who he really is

and wave it under his nose he'll show up

at the county clerk's office to check on it.

He won't be able to help himself.

Where do you expect to find his nose?

In a post office, looking at identification orders

see if he's currently wanted, or any newspaper?

Look, if you can get Mr. Hoover to give us a priority on him.

Move him into the ten most wanted list.

Ask the newspapers to give it a good coverage. He'll see it.

Alright, Lewis. I suppose you want a handwriting expert.

Yeah. Bryan Kemp, if you can spare him.

Well, I can't

but I'll put him on the next plane.

Thanks, Arthur.

- Did you sell him? - Everything is fine.

Except for one little thing.

Yeah, I know, I know.

We still don't know who Fitzgerald really is.

That's the one little thing.

It'll be a dull time without you, Amy.

That's hardly good reason to object

to anything that makes you this happy.

You don't think there'll be any difficulty a-about selling?

Oh, I don't think so.

The Hamilton crowd is still interested.

And I do want cash.

Right. Then your bank here can transfer a part

or all of it to you when you get to Hawaii.

O-oh, you don't understand.

Oh, no, I mean, um, cash.

You, you mean that literally?

I mean...literally.

[chuckles] Amy, have you any idea

how much cash you're talking about?

- It wouldn't be safe. - Oh, come on, Joe.

Don't go on about that.

Just tell the bank to have the money on hand.

Oh, and-and tell them to hurry. Goodbye.

[instrumental music]

Speed is the order of the day, gentlemen.

And special agent, Bryan Kemp is here

to give you a crash course in the specific peculiarities

of this handwriting, so we can expedite the search.

Kemp.

Do you all have copies of the note?

Now we'll go over this several times

until you've committed to memory

each individuality of all the letters I've marked.

Some of them should be included in almost

any sample of handwriting you may find.

You'll notice that the letter "G" in the word "God"

begins high above the line of the writing.

The "D" has a small loop near the beginning

which resembles the small letter "C."

The "F" has a line rather than a loop at the bottom.

The "R" has two sharp points

or shoulders.

It's the same in this word.

The "M" has a hook in the upper left.

The upper right hand portion is sharp

almost to the extent of being a retracing of the stroke.

"Y" has two small loops at the top.

The concluding stroke of the "Y" has a sharp angle

to the left of the downward stroke.

These are the principle points of identification.

By the time I get through with you

you'll be able to spot him at a glance

if they should turn up on a hospital record.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

I kept my shame even from my family, Mr. Erskine.

I hid away in Fort Wayne.

I confided only in my doctor.

Ms. Raymond, can you give us the name of the father?

Andrew S. Cook.

Ms. Raymond..

...did you ever name your son?

Yes.

I loved Andrew.

So I named his son for him.

Andrew S. Cook, Jr.?

Andrew S. Cook, Jr.

[instrumental music]

Here we are.

Now, when you bring the book of birth records

for the subject to see

place it here

right in line with the camera lens.

Then, uh, move aside.

Working with something over here, perhaps

and press this button.

Now, this will activate the cam.

And that's, uh, about it.

Sounds simple enough.

I'll instruct the other deputies carefully.

You can depend on it.

And the name is Andrew S. Cook, Jr.

- That's the man. - Andrew S. Cook, Jr.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[dramatic music]

[theme music]

I can't tell you, how much I appreciate this.

And, uh, so quick.

All I did was mention the name.

They were anxious to buy.

- I need another one here. - Oh.

It'll be another day at least before you get your money.

Not so easy to corral $380,000.

Oh, dear.

Oh, uh, I hope John..

Amy, was it your husband's idea

to get this all in cash?

Why?

Well, I know you pretty well, and for the life of me

I can't understand why you don't leave it in the bank

where it's safe?

Alright, but I can't say I think it's any of your business.

John is a financier.

His own money is tied up

he needs a certain amount of cash

to take advantage of a big opportunity.

- That's all. - Are you sure that's all?

Oh, now, Joe.

Okay, but wait a minute, Amy.

You've known your husband for less than two weeks.

I know what I'm doing.

I am a grown woman.

If I'd known him ten minutes, I'd have done the same thing.

I'm sorry, I said anything, Amy, but..

Yeah, so am I.

As a matter of fact, John had no part of this idea.

It was mine.

[instrumental music]

- Oh.. - What's the matter?

Joe..

...actually had the gall to suggest

that you might not be entirely honest.

Oh-h*, come on.

- You misunderstood him. - No.

I'll tell you what we'll do.

We'll go back and tell him to forget the whole thing

Certainly not.

Amy, if there's the tiniest seed of doubt in your mind

believe me, it isn't worth it.

Oh, John.

Tsk, oh, you know I've no doubts.

Oh, and it'll be another day before we can get the money.

Another day?

Well, now, that is a shame.

Because, uh, tonight was the deadline.

Oh, really?

If I could just talk with him.

Well, can't you?

No, they're out of town.

And phoning is no good.

But, uh..

...maybe I could take a plane to meet them.

I'll go with you.

Oh, no, Amy, it'll just be overnight.

I'll be back tomorrow.

You'd only spend the whole time by yourself in a hotel room.

The honeymoon's over.

The honeymoon is never going to be over between us.

[chuckles]

Come on, now.

I'll even let you pack my bag.

Where are these men? Where do you have to go?

Fort Wayne, Indiana.

[instrumental music]

Yes, sir, may I help you?

I, uh, I'd like to see the record of a birth, please.

Yes, sir. Name and date of birth?

Oh, yes, uh..

February 21st, 1922.



Cooper.

Robert L. Cooper.

Robert L. Cooper. I'll get the book for you.

[instrumental music]

I think you'll find it in this volume.

[dramatic music]

Andrew S. Cook, Jr.

[camera shutter clicking]

[music continues]

Well, we finally meet.

It's a good picture. Thank you very much.

I'm afraid I didn't call soon enough

but I was so nervous.

You did fine, all of you.

He's fast. We covered this building like a blanket.

He just vanished like a, like..

Like a chameleon, sergeant?

[chuckles] Yes, sir.

If you'll have some prints made of that

we'll give you all the help we can, inspector.

Oh, there's no time. I'll need this at the airport.

Jim..

He's in too much of a hurry getting here.

He'd use anything slower than a plane getting back.

Thanks again, all of you.

[instrumental music]

[woman on PA] 'This is final call.'

'Flight 77 departing at Gate 5.'

'All aboard, please.'

Well, if he left here by plane, he didn't look like that.

Or maybe, he's still in town.

Either way, this is what he looked like when he came.

Lou, you're right, the place he bought his ticket.

That's where they'd recognize that picture.

Get a list of incoming flights in the last, oh, eight hours.

We'll wire the picture to the points of origin

have the field officers interview all personnel.

Somebody will recognize him.

[telephone ringing]

Sublette. Yeah.

Dallas? It's for you, Lou.

Erskine.

Ye.. Yes?

John Stevens. Address?

Good. Get a warrant, put a surveillance on the house.

If you see him trying to come and go, arrest him.

We're on our way.

A steward has recognized the picture, put a name to it.

Reservation desk had the phone number and address.

Call the airport, Dan. We need a fast jet to Dallas.

Thanks for the hospitality.

[instrumental music]

[door opens]

John?

Is that you?

[John] 'Yes, darling, I'm home.'

Oh, huh. Uh, I have a surprise for you.

You better come up quickly.

[music continues]

My Lord and master.

[giggles] Here it is.

- All of it? - All of it.

I carried it all personally in a suitcase

and you've no idea

how much $380,000 weighs by the pound.

This is wonderful.

You just don't know how..

It's marvelous.

If you only knew.

[music continues]

John?

Where are you? Dinner's ready.

[John] 'In here.'

Well, come on out.

We're playing house.

The servants are out and we're now all alone.

Do you know, I've forgotten how much fun cooking..

[John whistling]

Good heavens.

What are you mixing in that bucket?

[music continues]

But I don't understand.

What are you, you taking about?

'Course you're John Stevens.

No.

No, no.

I'm Andrew S. Cook, Jr.

I was born on the 21st of February, 1922

in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

And that's where I'm going as soon as I leave here

to see my parents.

I've never seen them.

Did you know that?

Did you know that?

Get off me.

[screaming]

[screams]

Go.

John, no!

No, no!

Drop it!

I said drop it.

[Amy panting]

I doesn't take much imagination to figure out

what happened to his other wives, does it?

Little wall tapping in the Greenfield house

by the police should be very instructive.

Get a photographer up here, Jim.

Yeah.

Feeling better?

I don't understand.

How I could've..

Uh, to love a man like that.

How could I have believed him?

He was an expert at fooling people.

I'm still alive.

I suppose that's something.

I think I'd better go away for a little while.

To Hawaii.

Europe.

You can meet so many nice people.

Yes, Mrs. Stevens, you certainly can.
