05x03 - The Swindler

[bunniefuu]

[indistinct chatter]

Miss Burke.

- Here you are. - Pollard.

Oh, Ed, hey, here, let me introduce you

uh, to Kate Burke.

Ed Sprall, Sprall and Banner

'didn't you say, Ed, real estate?'

Yes, we're located in Springfield, Illinois.

You in real estate too, Miss Burke?

Oh, no. I'm, I'm one of the bankers.

- Bankers? - Uh, Fidelity Trust.

Munther, Illinois.

Miss Burke, you're the only banker

I'd like to take to a drive-in movie.

Um, well, my father's bank actually.

He's been an invalid for five years.

Where are you located, Pollard? Waiter.

You seem to know everyone here.

The bankers all think you're in real estate.

And the real estate is thinking vice versa.

Well, I sort of fall in between. I'm a consultant.

Gladd, Clark, Pollard and Dunning, uh

Columbus, Ohio, our main office.

We're industrial land consultants.

You know, industrial park developments.

'That sort of thing.'

Miss Burke, um.. Munther.. I, uh..

I may be coming out your way, and, uh, if we..

- Excuse me for a second. - Yeah, sure.

- You, uh.. You see him there? - Yeah.

Gotta keep smiling, Clyde.

Well, that little, uh..

That little jerk's got a g*n.

We'll have to get him outta here.

Mr. Hoyer. George. Where..

I-I've been trying to get in touch with you.

- Don't touch me. - Now, wait a minute.

I heard from the people in Ontario.

They've got the geologist reports.

They're extending the lease onto your land.

They've sent $2000 to secure it

and the lease papers arrive tomorrow.

- How's that, tomorrow--? - Don't touch me.

You swindled me.

- You destroyed me. - Oh, no.

Look, there must be some way we can work this--

Outside. I've got my car.

[intense music]

George, I can't understand you. You've got it made.

They want the land..

- They've sent money. - Will you stop it!

I embezzled $80,000 and in.. And invested it in a fraud.

Your's!

You embezzled?

Get in the car. You drive.

Where to, George?

To get my $80,000 and put it back.

George, you're a banker.

You could cover up, you could stall

until you could get the money.

They're already looking for the money.

You destroyed me.

George, please.

Get in.

Get in.

[dramatic music]

[g*nsh*t]

Quine, Quine, come on.

Come on!

Let's get him outta here.

[male narrator] "The FBI."

A Quinn Martin production.

Starring, Efrem Zimbalist Jr.

Also starring, Philip Abbott..

...William Reynolds.

With guest stars..

...Vera Miles..

...Peter Donat..

...William Schallert.

Tonight's episode, "The Swindler."

[male narrator] On the morning of April sixth, three days after an audit

of the Covenant First Federal Bank of Chicago

revealed a shortage of $83,000

the body of George Lumis Hoyer was found by police

a few miles outside North Harbor, Michigan.

Under the Federal Reserve Act

the FBI immediately entered the case.

- Inspector Erskine? - Yeah.

- Captain Ramsey. - How are you, captain?

Tom Colby.

- Colby. - Captain.

Found this along with the g*n

in the front seat of the car down there.

"My dear wife, by the time you read this

"you will already have learned of my embezzling.

"I hope you can find it in your heart

to forgive what I am about to do, but.."

- Unfinished. - Yeah.

You wonder, how a man feels at a time like that.

[Lew] 'Well, he's certainly methodical.'

Not everyone dates a suicide note.

Captain, if it's alright with you

I'd like our laboratory to examine this.

Of course. Think it might be a forgery?

Well, it's a possibility, isn't it?

You know, now that you mention it, it's the first suicide

I ever saw sh**t himself in the stomach.

Kate, there's a-a gentleman here from out of town

who claims he knows you, a Mr. Pollard.

- Pollard? - Do you wanna see him?

Alright.

Yes?

I was making bets with myself, if you'd remember the name.

Did you?

No.

Well, I could go out and come in again.

Um, Mr. Ganz, this is Mr. Pollard, he's, um, um..

A land consultant. Industrial park development, isn't that it?

Oh, that, that general kind of thing.

How do you do?

We, uh, met at that convention in Chicago.

- Oh, yeah. - That sounds wicked.

Well, come in to my office.

What're you doing in Munther, Mr. Pollard?

Oh, just drifting through, I, uh..

I might be here overnight. Oh, by the way..

I wanted to ask you to dinner that night, but, uh..

I got tied up.

What are my chances tonight?

Oh, no, I don't think so, my father..

Yes, I'd like to. I-I can always call home.

Swell. Oh, I need some money.

Uh, will you trust an Ohio bank?

Ah, let me take care of that for you, Mr. Pollard.

Always running myself short.

- Two thousand? - Yeah.

You'll wanna confirm that.

Here, let me give you the number.

Uh, you can call Mr. Wineroof there, he's our, uh..

Yeah, here it is. Gladd, Clark, Pollard and Dunning.

Oh, you're one of the partners?

Yeah, keeps me out of mischief.

What a clumsy idiot!

- Let me give you a hand. - 'Uh, no.'

Mr. Ganz, uh, don't bother, please.

I've, uh, I've got everything, thank you.

I'll take care of that in just a moment for you, Mr. Pollard.

Thank you.

- So, how've you been? - I'm fine.

- And you? - Fine.

You know, I was sort of wondering how you'd look.

In your office as a banker.

Well.

- I wonder if you'd like-- - I must say you l--

Look, I-I don't wanna scramble your day, uh..

Is 8 o'clock alright?

Oh, yes, that's fine.

Where do you live? I'll pick you up.

Oh, well, it might, um..

A-are you staying at the hotel?

- Mm-hmm. - 'I'll, I'll meet you there.'

Sure.

Well, then.

He's a nice fellow.

Who? Oh, yes, very nice.

'He's in industrial park development, you said.'

Mmm.

Well, I, uh, called Ohio, his home office.

Uh, they said, of course, they'd honor any drafts.

And they also said that if he's in town

more than a month

'they'll be happy to transfer funds'

'and open an account for him here.'

We-well, he said he was only gonna stay overnight.

I know what he said.

Kate.

Did you happen to notice any of those papers he spilled?

Architectural drawings, plats..

That's what they were.

And there was one of them that was

a detailed map of the Riker's Ponds area.

That whole side of town.

'You know, where the expressway cuts through.'

It was all plotted out

divided up by access roads that don't even exist yet.

Hmm..

I'll just never believe

that my husband committed suicide.

[Lew] Hello, Cecile.

Excuse me. Lew.

Is this Mrs. Hoyer?

Yes, uh, she mentioned that her husband

had recently met a man named Goodwin.

It seems that he was gonna let them in

on the ground floor of a big ore strike in Canada.

So, we've been going over pictures

of known confidence operatives.

- Mmm. - Any luck yet?

Not so far.

Mrs. Hoyer.

I'd like you to meet Inspector Erskine.

- And Special Agent Colby. - How do you do?

Please go ahead, Mrs. Hoyer.

Yes.

Sir, he'll be right in.

- Lew, here's Mr. Ward. - Oh, thanks.

I'll see you in a moment, Tom.

- Yes, Arthur. - Lewis, I'm glad I caught you.

I'm in the Document section right now.

We compared the suicide note

with a sample of Hoyer's handwriting.

It's a forgery. And a pretty good one at that.

Any good latents on the g*n?

No, nothing.

Course, he might have wiped the g*n clean

and placed it in Hoyer's hand.

We can't be positive.

Any new developments out there?

We have Mrs. Hoyer here.

She thinks her husband may have taken the money

from the bank and lost it in a swindle.

Alright, Lewis. Good luck.

I'll talk to you later.

Oh, this is the man.

Mr. Goodwin.

Are you sure?

[Mrs. Hoyer] 'Absolutely.'

Excuse me.

His real name is William Fremont Quine.

Last known address St. James Hotel, Columbus.

Better call our resident agent, Tom.

No, he hasn't told me anything about his business

and I haven't asked him.

Kate.

You've been out with him a number of times.

Certainly is a small town, isn't it?

He's been all over the Riker's Ponds area.

He called in that civil engineer from Marshfield.

He spent whole days at the registry--

He gets ten long-distance calls a day.

'Hatten Eletric, Wetco, Mason Van lines'

National Wheel and Brake..'

Corporations.

I've got a niece that runs the switchboard at the hotel.

Well, she talks to the maids.

And they say, his hotel room..

Charts and maps, all over the walls.

Well, now what you fellows need to do

is send somebody up there with a little camera.

Well, have you seen them?

Oh, Kate, look, I.. I didn't mean anything.

Kate, the point is that

we're all just guessing, but we..

We know it's very big.

'Now we know the man is scouting'

'for industrial real estate.'

And he's trying to do it as quietly as possible.

And he's interested in this town.

Eh, there'd be no reason for his staying here

this long, if he weren't.

Except for Miss Burke.

[Stensrud] 'What we're talking about is big corporations moving in.'

Branch plans and all that.

Over the long haul, that's millions of dollars.

And unless we take a position first

we're not going to see one nickel of it.

[telephone ringing]

Kate?

Oh, Mr. Ganz, uh..

Well, I was just getting ready to go out

for the evening and I-I--

Mmm, if it wouldn't take too long

of-of course, sure, glad to.

But, uh, can you tell me w--

Yeah, well. Sure, sure, come on up.

[knock on door]

Mr. Pollard. I, uh, brought a few others.

Yeah, I see you did, huh?

Will you excuse me for a few seconds, Mr. Ganz?

- Come in, gentlemen. - Thank you.

Mr. Pollard, uh, this is Mr. Klein.

- He's a grading contractor. - Klein.

Mr. Dorman I think you've met. He's in realty.

Mr. Deans, the chairman of our selectmen.

- Mr. Deans. - And Mr. Stensrud.

Who owns a good deal of property here about.

Hey, am I being run out of town?

You've run into the town, we hope.

Well, I'm afraid I don't get you.

Mr. Pollard, we have a fair idea of what you're doing here.

You're scouting for land.

You're interested in this town.

Oh, come on.

I'm-I'm interested in land everywhere. My business.

You're interested in the Riker's Ponds area.

[Bob] The what? The..

You mean that swampland way out on..

If you're going to develop that land, factories come in.

Well, we want a part of it.

'What's more, we're in a position to help.'

'We live here. We know the area.'

'We have the skills.'

Land purchase. Financing.

Drainage, grading, roads.

I helped build that expressway.

Look, you understand I'm-I'm only a consultant.

I just advise the people who hire me.

I try to put things together for everyone's benefit.

That's what we want.

Well, there is, you're quite right

a consortium of companies interested in this territory.

Now, I can't speak for them, but, uh..

Supposing I arrange a meeting between..

...you and the man who can.

Thank you, Bob. That's all we're after.

Oh, it's a great place.

- It's wonderful. - Well, it's, uh..

Out of town.

Say, I, I really do wanna apologize for what happened.

I didn't know they were going to ambush you like that.

Well. It may be the best thing.

I was going to warn you.

But then I decided I would, uh, stay out of your business.

Even though, that is the only thing keeping you in town.

No.

It's not the only thing that's keeping me in town.

Now, come, it'll work out for everyone.

Your bank, for that matter, if the thing goes through.

Uh, the financing gets pretty complex, but..

You and old Ganz can handle that, can't you?

Yes.

Hey.

Boy, how old do you suppose that one is?

At least 20 years.

You know, we used to come up here

almost every weekend.

My father and I, even after mother died.

Well, not so much lately though.

- He's pretty old? - Oh, he's ill, and he's..

You wouldn't understand how he is.

I might.

When do I get a chance to meet him?

Oh, there's no hurry about that.

Well, why not?

You're afraid he'll destroy me..

...in your eyes?

Find some way to make me look like a phony?

He's done that to you before, hasn't he?

With other men.

He's always kept you in.

I don't think there's any reason to go..

Yes, he's always kept me in.

In some ways, I'm a very naive woman.

[Kate] Oh, god. Where has life gone?

I sometimes wonder that myself.

[sighs]

Kate.

I've got to tell you something..

...I should've told you before.

I'm married, you know.

No, I didn't know.

Well, I've got two sons.

Bob Jr.'s in the Marines, and..

And Frank's away at school.

My wife..

My wife has been insane for the last nine years.

Hospitalized, incurable, so they tell me.

And the kids feel I should get a divorce, but I..

I just haven't got the guts.

It's..

Well, it's a little the way it is

between you and your father maybe.

You know.

You have someone sick, you feel..

...held back.

Well, that's the way it is, and I'm sorry.

I should have told you before.

It was cowardly of me.

Come on, I'll get you back to town, I..

I've gotta fly up to the home office tomorrow

and set up that meeting.

[Kate] 'Bob?'

Don't go just yet.

According to the landlord, Quine and another man

left Columbus sometime this morning.

We checked his room. His belongings are still there.

The landlord says it's not unusual for him

to leave town every once in a while.

'I have agents on around-the-clock surveillance.'

- Does Quine live alone? - 'Yes, sir.'

What about this man he left with?

The landlord remembers seeing him before.

He'd occasionally stay over two or three days at a time.

[Tom] 'His partner.'

His room is almost barren

except for a bed and a phone.

But from the letterheads and correspondence on his desk

you think Quine was running a financial dynasty.

He was just tending the store while his partner was

out somewhere drumming up new business.

Well, everything we know indicates he isn't a k*ller.

More of a small-time dr*fter.

But the swindle that cost Hoyer his life

was well thought-out and ex*cuted.

Well, it's interesting to meet you, Mr. Pollard.

I asked Kate to invite you before this.

Well, I've been back in Ohio for the last couple of days.

I had to arrange some things.

Mm-hmm. Now, what did you say your firm was?

Gladd, Park, Pollard and Dunning.

[Burke] I remember a Frank Pollard in my fraternity at the Lloyd.

Any relation?

Mr. Burke, my name isn't really Pollard.

I'm a phony.

I was born Polanski, I grew up in Hamtramck

and I...began my business career

delivering groceries.

Oh.

Well, all the more credit to you.

But about this venture of yours here..

Oh, it's not my venture, Mr. Burke, uh..

I'm just a consultant. A go-between.

Well, the whole idea about..

...loading the landscape with factories?

Everybody tells me the town has to grow.

- I say why? - Progress.

No, to me, that's not a magic word.

What I'm saying..

Of course, I can't oppose anything this big

but as far as the bank is concerned

I don't think we'd want to take part.

Well, um..

We have most of the city banks interested, uh..

Outsiders, of course, but, uh..

They're familiar with this kind of operation.

'They know the profits, so, uh..'

If you're not interested to, uh, participate locally, it..

...may simplify matters.

Hmm.

Well, now you'll excuse me, Mr. Pollard.

They make me turn in early.

Mrs. Steers.

It's, uh, awfully nice meeting you, Mr. Burke.

Mmm.

[Burke] 'Mrs. Steers?'

Bob?

I better get back to the hotel, Kate.

I got that meeting tomorrow and everything.

You seem sort of..

Well..

I'm sorry your father and I didn't hit it off.

- 'Kate?' - Yes, dad. In a minute.

Listen, he's that way with everyone.

- Okay. - Bob..

Is it what he said? About the bank not taking part?

No, no, not that especially, um..

Well, yeah, I guess I'm a bit disappointed. I, uh..

I was hoping to stay around, and..

Why, you're not leaving?

Listen, we have a board of directors.

Paul Ganz has checked them all out completely in favor.

And frankly, I don't really plan

on keeping dad too well-informed.

- Okay. - I wish you'd stay.

Look, I c.. I can't. Really.

But there is something I wanted to tell you.

While I was away, I wasn't just making arrangements

for that meeting.

I went to visit my wife.

She didn't even recognize me.

She hasn't for several years.

And then I.. I called my lawyer, Kate.

And I told him to file for divorce.

Gentlemen, frankly, I'm not that interested.

The companies I represent are not that interested.

We think you're interested, Mr. Garrety.

Otherwise you wouldn't be here talking to us.

Now, look, gentlemen, I don't know what Mr. Pollard

has led you to believe.

Apparently a good deal more than he's authorized to.

Mr. Pollard has not led us to believe anything.

He was straight with us.

'I'd say he represented your interests very well.'

Alright.

Supposing we do see some advantage..

...in this area, gentlemen, I..

I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings

but I-I don't think you appreciate

the size of this thing.

Mr. Garrity. John.

'You know very well that sooner or later'

'you have to deal with local people.'

You need local co-operation and local support.

And for my money, you may be lucky.

Dealing with a group of people as cohesive

and well-informed as this.

Alright. Well, you know, you're a tough bunch.

As Bob has led me to believe.

Alright, here's what I'm authorized to propose.

First, you incorporate. Any time you choose.

Second, beginning next week we undertake a series

of discussions defining the relationship

between you and our business consortium.

Exploring the idea

of partnership development, okay?

'Third, we know we mean business, and we expect you to.'

We're going to start incurring immediate ground study

and survey costs on that land.

On outside, we'll subscribe a $100,000 in stocks

as collateral against the bank loan to cover those.

Are you prepared to do the same?

No problem, Mr. Garrety.

Alright.

I'll send the stock certificates tomorrow by messenger.

Uh, probably National Wheel.

Is your bank prepared to, uh, handle a $200,000 loan?

Yes, Mr. Garrety. We can handle it.

Fine.

Alright, and this is fourth.

For the time being, I don't want

any of that money spent or released

except on Mr. Pollard's signature or the signature

of one of your corporation officers

countersigned by Pollard.

Is that agreeable?

Alright by you, Bob?

Sure.

[sighs] Well..

We may be in business.

I need a drink.

Will you all join us?

No, thanks, Bob.

We've got some things to talk over.

Mr. Garrety.

I'll...call you later.

By the way, if she asks, uh, I've got a wife.

Yeah, the one in the institution.

Yeah, and the children have persuaded me to get a divorce.

What's all the heavy a*tillery?

I thought she was in the bag.

Gotta let 'em see the light at the end of the tunnel, Quine.

Actually, Bob, uh, she's not that bad looking.

You...shut up.

Bob..

You haven't fallen in love with this woman, have you?

Well, she makes me feel..

...uncomfortable, I..

I don't know, when I'm with her..

...her face brightens, she-she talks about the future.

'All I have to do is walk into a room'

and, and-and she's all smiles.

Boy, I'd like to see myself through her eyes.

You're gonna laugh at this Quine, but..

...she touches me..

...in a way I thought no human being could.

Don't get juiced.

Look, I wanna stay here.

Next town maybe. Somewhere close by.

- I don't want you around. - Bob.

It's in the papers.

They're investigating Hoyer's death.

They could be getting next to me.

It'll take a day to get the loan account set up.

It'll take me a week to nibble it out small chunks.

I'll keep in touch. And then, Brazil.

I'm almost willing to make Brazil without it?

I'm not.

Without it, they don't treat you so well.

Stay loose, Quine,

How long ago did he get here?

About ten minutes ago, with a bonded messenger.

They went up to his apartment, number five in that building.

And the messenger came down with a sealed package.

Well, did you get the name of the messenger service?

Yes, sir. Tri-state Bonded Messenger.

They have a local office here in Columbus.

Oh, and inspector, the warrant's been issued.

Alright, Myles, uh, alert your agents.

We'll pick him up now.

Attention, all agents in the area..

- William Quine? - Yeah?

I'm with the FBI. We have a warrant for your..

[intense music]

[music continues]

[grunting]

[screaming]

Mr. Garrety sent these to me this morning by messenger.



Value at the close of market yesterday, a $180,000.

Has your bunch put up their marbles?

The loan is official. The account is open.

Good. I'll take half.

'Garrety's instructions, Kate.'

You're not the only bank in town

and Garrety doesn't wanna be put into the position

of favoring one local outfit over another.

I must be dense. I don't understand.

Well, the cat's out of the bag.

The rest of the town's found out what's happened, and, uh..

...they're up in arms, they feel cut out.

So anything we can do to smooth their ruffled feathers

'is just good public relations.'

'Hey.'

What's wrong?

Well, it-it troubles me, that's all.

Well, you'll still get most of the action, but..

Just for now, Garrety's instructed me to deposit

a $100,000 at the Munther First National down the block.

Ah, well, what am I complaining about.

I'm the one that's gonna keep business

out of my personal life.

Famous last words.

How do you want it, one dollar bills?

Look, just write me a cashier's check

and I'll trudge all the way down there and deposit.

Uh, yeah, Lew, I'm at the office of Tri-state Bonded.

According to their records, they delivered an envelope..

...uh, from Quine.

A sealed envelope containing 1400 shares

of National Wheel and Brake.

Who signed the receipt?

Uh, Miss Katherine Burke..

...for Fidelity Trust, Munther, Illinois

at, uh, 8:00 a.m. this morning.

Have you talked to the stock issuing officer

at National Wheel?

Yes, sir.

There's no record of an issuing of any stock to Quine.

Wonder what Miss Burke put up as her end of the bargain.

Alright, Tom, I'll meet you at the airport in 20 minutes.

Thank you.

- Hello, Kate. - Hello, Jim, how are you?

Fine. Say, Kate..

One of my tellers just brought in

a cashier's check for a $100,000.

To a Robert Pollard?

Yes, that's right.

I thought maybe you could use the business.

Well, the thing is, Katy, he wants it all in cash.

Is it alright?

Uh, yes, of course, that's alright.

We verified the check.

No, no trouble.

[intense music]

Yes, gentlemen?

Is Miss Burke in?

Well, I'm Mr. Ganz, the vice president of the bank.

Perhaps I could help you.

[knocking on door]

[Kate] 'Bob?'

You lied to me.

You said you wanted the money to spread around.

You withdrew it.

Katy?

Where's the money, Bob?

In the case.

I can't fool you for a minute, can I?

'I just cannot pull 1the wool over your eyes.'

First, I stole your heart, now I've stolen your money.

As a matter of fact, I was getting ready to leave

when you caught up with me.

'Well, what are you waiting for, Kate?'

Why don't you call the police?

Or look in the attache case.

That's where the money is, isn't it?

[intense music]

[music continues]

You are a swindler.

Ah, that's Garrety alright.

I've known Kate Burke since she was a little girl.

If-if her father finds out that she's involved in this, it..

It'll just break his heart.

Pollard checked out of his hotel 20 minutes ago.

The Burke woman was with him.

But that does mean that Pollard

is gonna try to get the rest of the $200,000?

It's a possibility.

Unless he tried to get ahold of Quine

he has no reason to believe he's in any trouble.

Well, thanks, Mr. Ganz.

If Miss Burke does contact you.

notify us, but don't try to stop her.

I'll ask the US Attorney for a warrant.

We better put Miss Burke's house under surveillance.

And notify all units to be on the lookout for Pollard.

Yes, Kate, I could take it all back.

I could go to prison for Hoyer's death.

But I'm not going to.

Or, you could turn me in. I-I'd be on the run.

They'd probably catch me before I made Brazil.

I want the money.

What I have already, and the rest of it in the bank.

And I want you.

'And I want us to make a new start.'

How in God's name did I ever fall in love with you?

Because I'm the first man who ever fell in love with you.

We need the money, Kate.

The bank's insured. There's no loser.

Unless you wanna make us the losers.

What if I'm caught?

It's your bank. Walk in and take it out.

Where will you be?

I'll be waiting for you.

At the lodge.

I left my purse in the bank.

I have to go in the house and get

the extra key to the car.

Then get it.

You're saying goodbye to all that.

It's a new life, Kate.

It's the last chance for both of us.

Yes.

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

- Twenty three to twenty. - 'Go ahead, twenty three.'

Subject just came out of her house

is driving north on Maple Lane.

- Is she alone? - 'Yes sir. Any instructions?'

If she stops at the bank, drive by as pre-arranged.

Yes, sir.

Subject's car continuing into town.

[intense music]

[music continues]

[music continues]

[music continues]

Twenty to all units.

Subject proceeding north on route three.

Bob?

- 'Bob.' - Yeah, yeah, I'm here.

- Did you get it? - Yes.

[intense music]

[Bob] Yeah, it scares me half to death.

I don't know why I carry it.

Come on, we'll take your car.

What is it?

Who is it?

Police? FBI?

It doesn't make much difference, does it?

- Maybe we could.. - We're all out of maybes.

[Lew] 'Robert Pollard, this is the FBI.'

Send Miss Burke out .

And then come out yourself with your hands raised.

It's not a bad idea. What do you say, Kate?

- I'm as guilty as you are. - No, don't put on airs.

I'm guilty of things you haven't even dreamt about.

Go on out, Kate, I'll follow you.

I'm wondering.

How much, if anything, of what you told me was real.

It's all real, Kate, all of it.

Everything I've ever done has been real to me.

At the time.

In a way.

You said you loved me.

Sure, I said it.

'I said it to every girl I ever wanted.'

'And I meant it too.'

Now..

Go on out to the nice people.

I won't go.

You don't get it.

You've been swindled.

You're my last patsy.

Do you love me?

[dramatic music]

Say you love me.

Why don't you have some pride?

I do.

I love you.

Goodbye, Kate.

Put your hands up.

'Pollard.'

Now.

[music continues]

He's still alive.

It would be the easiest thing in the world to say

I was blinded by my love for Bob.

But nobody held a g*n at my back.

Nobody forced me to rob my own bank.

I'm sure he's a very persuasive man.

As an honest one, he might have had a brilliant life.

In a way I was to blame.

'There was a time back there'

where it could have gone either way.

I could have got him to take the money back.

But I was afraid I'd lose him.

You don't believe me.

I didn't say that.

You don't understand.

You see, he really loves me.

[male narrator] Kate Burke was tried in federal court

and found guilty of embezzlement.

Jack Pollard recovered from his wounds

and was sentenced to life imprisonment

for the m*rder of George Hoyer.
