06x03 - Escape to Terror

Post by bunniefuu »

They've gotta be coming out pretty soon.

They're taking forever.

[indistinct chatter]

There they are.

'Oh, good.'

Go on home, I'll handle 'em.

How about a statement, Mr. Breen?

I don't have anything to say.

Over here, George.

Hey, how do you feel about your forthcoming trial?

Just a moment, ladies and gentlemen.

I have a statement for you.

As Mr. Breen's attorney

I must confess I was shocked and appalled

that my client had to be tried

for conspiracy to defraud the government.

This entire procedure

is an inexcusable example

of harassment by the Federal Government.

It's a meaningless waste of the taxpayer's money.

What about Mr. Breen's connections

with La Cosa Nostra?

What connections?

'That's sheer nonsense.'

George Breen is a successful and reputable

certified public accountant.

His services are sought after

by many large and reputable corporations

doing business with the government.

If La Cosa Nostra

has any interest in those companies

I assure you

George Breen knows nothing about it.

Then why is the government bringing your client to trial?

I suggest you ask

the government prosecutor.

[honking]

[tires screeching]

When do I leave?

Tonight.

Here's your car fare, George.

Thirty-five thousand.

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

Forget it, kid.

It's the best thing to do.

For you, for me, the whole organization.

But still, I know you're sticking your neck out.

Yeah, that's right.

If they make this, uh, case against you stick

they're one step closer to me.

They know that I'm the one

that's pulling the corporate strings.

But without you they can't prove a thing.

Now, uh, here's a..

a list of your contacts.

Here's your new passport.

You go by private plane to Portland

and by boat to Vancouver.

Does Mr. Frost know I'm jumping bail?

Not yet, I haven't been able to reach him.

Shouldn't he know, Al?

George, he knows that you can't bluff your way

through a whole trial. He'll be glad you're gone.

Still, I think he should know.

George, you're my wife's cousin.

That makes you part of the family.

Now you're my responsibility, okay?

By the way, how's Peggy?

'How's she taking it?'

A lot better than I am.

I need to leave her, Al.

Oh, between Doris and I

she won't have a chance to worry about you.

As a matter of fact

she can even move in with us

till the baby comes.

I mean, after all, what's a family for?

Huh? Like brothers, right?

Hey! Ha ha ha!

[instrumental music]

What about Mr. Breen's connections

with La Cosa Nostra?

What connections?

That's sheer nonsense.

George Breen is a successful and reputable

certified public accountant.

His services are sought after

by many large and reputable corporations

doing business with the government.

If La Cosa Nostra

has any interest in those companies

I assure you

George Breen knows nothing about it.

[female reporter] 'Then why is the government bringing your client to trial?'

[Michael] 'I suggest you ask'

'the government prosecutor.'

[turns off TV]

George, the car is here.

I'll be right there.

- Peg-- - You better hurry--

Look, you know, I don't want to leave you here.

- You know that. - Yes.

But as you said, it's the only intelligent way.

That's right.

The trip.

Well, it may be dangerous

it could be the..

...worst possible thing for you and the baby.

I know.

Now, you go, please.

[instrumental music]

I've arranged everything with Doris and Al.

'If you need anything, anything at all just--'

George, please go

before I start making a fool of myself.

I'll call for you, as soon as it's safe.

You and the baby.

[groans]

This is ridiculous.

I can't go without you.

George, I-I can be packed

in five minutes.

Then do it. Go on. Hurry.

Tonight's Episode, "Escape To Terror."

[instrumental music]

[Marvin Miller] On the morning of October 7th

George Breen failed to appear for trial

in US District Court, Reno, Nevada.

A bench warrant was immediately issued

for his arrest.

And the FBI started a search

for the missing fugitive.

How far west did the storm spread?

Well, the weather bureau said

it covered most of Nevada.

Northern California and Oregon.

Any decrease in air traffic?

Just a couple of commercial jets got off

before the storm really hit.

'But no one matching the Breen's description'

'was on any of them as far as we know.'

What about private planes?

Well, most of them are grounded.

Oh, we checked the train and bus depots

but no luck.

Breen's car is still in his garage.

Must've had it all pre-arranged.

Tom, get a flight plan on all private planes

that left Reno in the last 18 hours.

I think he'd be a long way from here by now

if they got out.

[telephone ringing]

Yes?

Inspector, it's Mr. Ward.

Thank you.

- Hello, Arthur. - 'Lewis.'

'The director wants to know how we stand on the Breen case.'

Well, it's not gonna be easy.

'He's had a pretty good head start.'

Yeah, I bet.

He can't afford to go on trial

and we can't afford to lose him.

Lewis..

The results in his case

could well be the key

to a breakthrough of the mob's infiltration

and legitimate business out there.

Arthur..

Do you remember an ex-fighter

by the name of

Nick Irish?

As I seem to remember

a pretty fair middleweight.

That's the man.

Forrest Blackwell, the resident agent here says

Al Eubanks owned his contract at one time.

After he was over the hill

Eubanks took him on as chauffeur, bodyguard

and recently fired him for incompetence.

Anyway..

'Forrest thinks he might be willing to talk about Eubanks.'

Hmm. Well, let me know what you find out.

And, Lewis..

you know how badly we want Breen.

Uh, I know how badly La Cosa Nostra wants him too.

Well, there's one big difference.

We want him alive.

[instrumental music]

Who the devil is that?

Someone trying to help, probably?

That's the last thing we need. Now, if anybody recognizes..

'Oberly.'

Sorry, I took so long.

Did you get the parts you need?

Nope, I couldn't find 'em.

Well, then how do we get to Portland?

In this.

Oh, I don't know.

Well, it's been a long ride for Peggy.

'That storm shook her up pretty badly.'

No, George, I'm fine.

Well, you could be in Portland

and on that boat

long before I get this tub

back in the air again.

Where'd you get it?

I bought it.

Here's the sales slip.

It's yours for $2500.

Wait a minute. $2500?

You only paid five.

Mr. Breen..

'Now, I've got to make a profit on this too.'

That's my service charge.

Oh, forget about it.

We'll wait till you fix the plane.

Well, that's alright with me.

Mind you, a forced landing like this

always attracts attention.

You know, pretty soon you're gonna have

a lot of people around here..

...asking questions.

What are you doing, Oberly?

Blackmailing us, trying to take advantage of the situation?

I think I'm just facing facts, Mr. Breen.

We've all gotta live.

I've paid you $5000 to fly us to Portland.

Have you forgotten that fact?

You know, I didn't plan on

getting knocked out of the air last night.

Now, if you wanna stick around here

and, uh..

wait..

'Now, that's okay with me.'

But we're gonna be here

a long time.

He's right, George.

We can't stay here.

Let's just take the truck and go.

Alright.

You've made your point.

Pay him the $2500.

[instrumental music]

[engine cranks]

[panting]

[exhales deeply]

Sorry, mister. Gym's closed today.

Nick Irish?

So?

FBI.

I'd like to talk to you.

About what?

Your former employer.

Al Eubanks.

I got nothing to say about him.

I'll see you around.

Oh, your timing's still pretty sharp.

Doesn't look as though that, uh..

operation slowed you down too much.

So you know about me? Okay.

I still got nothing to tell you about Eubanks.

That fight he set you for with Bishop..

...you never had a chance.

- You saw it? - No. But I read about it.

Everyone agreed you were outclassed.

There was even a strong rumor

that Eubanks had a fortune on Bishop.

I wasn't ready for Bishop.

Eubanks knew it.

Doctor told me after the surgery

that I'd...come that close to buying it.

But you still feel, you owe him something, huh?

Or maybe because of that job he gave you

as chauffeur, bodyguard.

'How long did you have that before he fired you?'

Don't you understand?

He told me that if I got myself back into shape

he'd help me make a comeback.

Do you believe that?

What do you want?

I want George Breen.

And I think Eubanks may have helped him get away.

I don't know, I really don't.

Well, you've been around him a lot.

You must have some idea who he'd go to.

Well, there was a guy he used a few times

to fly him to meetings.

You know?

'Out of state, middle of the night stuff.'

What was his name?

Lenny. That was his name. Lenny.

I never heard his last name.

What'd he look like?

I never saw him.

That's it, I'm sorry.

'Uh, probably isn't nothing.'

Nobody else?

I'm dry, honest.

Okay, Irish.

Thanks a lot.

Inspector..

Eubanks didn't fire me.

I quit!

The day I found out for sure

that he'd bet against me

I was afraid I would try to k*ll him.

[instrumental music]

Hmm.

Still having those pains?

Nope.

All gone.

- Ah! - I don't like the way you look.

[chuckles] Flattery will get you nowhere.

I never felt better in my life.

You need some rest, we're gonna stop

at the first motel we come to.

Absolutely not.

Now, we're hours late already, George

and if we miss that boat in Portland..

It won't go without us, that's part of the deal.

George, we can't stop now.

We need every minute we can get.

Copies of the flight plans

all the private planes that left the Reno area last night.

Destination, ETAs.

Because of the storm, most of the planes were forced back

to the field or their flights were canceled.

One of the planes, uh..

Got as far as Eugene Oregon before it was forced down.

They must've been pretty anxious to get through.

Here it is, um..

"Destination Portland Oregon. Routine flight."

What was the pilot's name?

"Oberly. Leonard Oberly."

Get me the resident agent in Eugene, Oregon, please.

Call the airport, get us on the first flight.

And, Forrest, get some background on Oberly.

Uh, Leonard, Lenny, any other variations.

And check for outstanding warrants.

[Al Eubanks] I'll be.

Oh, ha ha ha. Look at that.

'Oh!'

- Al. - Later, Doris, later.

It's important. You've got company.

Aright, son.

Go ahead, go have your lunch. We'll finish this race later.

Oh, Charlie, Nick.

What are you doing here? I thought you're in Miami.

We were.

Uh, you know my wife Doris.

Yes, we met last year at Mr. Frost's party.

- Oh, how is Mr. Frost? - Doris..

- Excuse me. - Thanks.

- Hey, how about a drink? - No, thanks.

Mr. Frost plans to call you today from Miami.

'He wants us to make sure you're home when he does.'

Uh, since when do I need baby sitters?

He's a little upset about George Breen's little trip.

What is he upset about? I made the decision myself.

But Mr. Frost didn't know him.

It was in Europe, or on his way back.

He couldn't be reached.

I had to move fast.

You should've notify the commission.

There was no time! I had to make the decision, right or wrong.

That's not the point, Mr. Eubanks.

The commission might have had other plans.

What do you mean other plans?

Mr. Frost will explain.

Sit down, Mr. Eubanks, it may take a while.

Nick, fix Mr. Eubanks a drink. He'll probably need one.

[instrumental music]

- Inspector. - Joe, good to see you again.

- You know Tom Colby, don't you? - Yes, I do.

We worked out of the New York office together.

That was a while ago, wasn't it, Joe?

We located the plane about, oh, an hour ago.

It's Oberly's alright.

The local residence say that the plane was forced down

during a storm late last night or early this morning.

- No sign of the Breens? - Not since I've been here.

But a witness said he thought he saw some passengers

around the plane early this morning.

One of them was a woman.

- Is that Oberly there? - Yes, sir.

Alright, let's have a talk with him.

[engine cranking]

Alright. Now nice and easy on the brakes, eh?

Okay.

Take it real easy now.

Come on.

Come on.

'Come on. Whoa, hold it right there, that's good!'

'That's good. Okay.'

'Alright, shut it off, will you?'

'That's beautiful.'

Leonard Oberly. FBI.

We'd like to talk to you.

[Oberly] Ha! What about, ill*gal parking?

Your flight here from Reno.

Yeah, well, I got nothing to tell you.

Lou..

A bill of sale for a panel truck.

Signed by you.

'Purchased this morning for $500 cash.'

I bet it's on its way to Portland right now.

Where are they, Oberly?

[telephone ringing]

Eubanks residence.

Yes, Mr. Frost, he's right here.

Yes, we will.

He wants to talk to you alone.

We'll see ourselves out.

Hello, Mr. Frost.

How was the trip?

Nice. Europe is a nice place, Al.

You and Doris ought to go sometime.

Take the kids, they'll love it.

We'd like to. Uh, when did you get back?

Yesterday.

I came home to help George, and what happens, he disappears.

Well, I couldn't reach you and someone had to make a decision.

I mean, there wasn't much time and under the circumstances

I thought it was, uh, the best thing to do.

I, uh, talked to the commission, Al, they wanted he should stay.

They had all kinds of legal loopholes to delay the trail.

But, Mr. Frost, I brought George into the organization

and I felt the responsibility to him and to us.

I thought what I did was the only sensible thing.

Nobody's finding fault, Al.

But now that he's gone

we gotta be sure he stays gone.

Well, the law won't find him.

I made that guarantee to the commission, Al.

I said nobody to ever find him again.

Uh, Mr. Frost, there's no..

no point in that, I mean, he'd never--

Commission decided, Al.

Believe me, it's like a knife in my heart

just asking you to do it.

Asking me?

Mr. Frost, George is like a kid brother to me.

'I mean, when Doris' uncle died I help put him through school.'

Look, Al, do you have to tell me that?

We need someone we can trust, someone George can trust.

Someone he wouldn't suspect.

You know, it's a real compliment to you, Al.

That so many people trust you.

Please, Mr. Frost, wouldn't it be better to get someone else?

I mean, I couldn't do it, not to George.

I'll tell you what.

When it's over, take Doris and the kids to Europe

for six months, okay?

Everything first class. How's that sound to you?

Al, you still there?

Yes, Mr. Frost, I'm still here.

Good boy.

I know you won't disappoint us, Al.

Just clean up a few loose ends.

I'm sure the commission will forget it ever happened.

Say hello to Doris for me.

Reservation, please.

'Oh, yes, uh..'

'I'd like to, uh, reserve a seat'

'on your next flight out to Portland Oregon.'

Don't do it, Al, please.

Don't do what? What are you talking about?

Oh, Al, stop playing games.

I can guess what Mr. Frost told you to do.

Well, then you know too much, Doris.

And that's a dangerous thing!

Al, for 18 years I've been quiet.

I'd never interfered, not even once.

And every time the truth came along I was a good little wife

and I looked the other way.

But now, when I look one way, I see George and Peggy.

They're part of our family, Al.

And when I look the other way

I see my husband.

No, Al, please.

Oh, come on, what are you getting

all worked up about? I never said anything--

It's what you don't say that scares me, Al.

What's the matter with you?

You know me better than that.

I wouldn't do anything to hurt George and Peggy.

Yes, but you're flying to Portland.

I heard you make the call.

Alright, I'm flying to Portland.

I have to, it's business.

Al.

Doris, the less you know the better. Now will you trust me?

Reservations, please.

It's Portland harbor.

- How do you feel? - Fine.

That, that nap really helped.

You're running a fever, we better find a doctor before--

No, there is nothing wrong with me

that a boat trip to Vancouver won't cure.

You stay here, and I'll ask about the boat.

Nothing doing, stay put.

George, they'll recognize you.

I'm not quite that famous yet.

Excuse me, I'm looking for a boat called "The Little Joe."

Do you have any idea where it is?

Uh, over there, in the end.

Oh, thanks.

Huh!

[groaning]

My husband isn't here, inspector.

He was called out of town rather suddenly.

- Can you tell me where he went? - It was a business trip.

He doesn't discuss those things with me.

Does the business pertain to George Breen?

I have no idea.

I understand you're related to Breen, Mrs. Eubanks.

Yes.

Have you any idea the danger he and his wife are in?

What kind of danger?

His testimony might incriminate

certain members of La Cosa Nostra.

I think you know what that means.

And if your husband is trying to help Breen..

I'm sure Al can take care of himself.

Possibly.

Your cousin and his wife may not be quite as self-sufficient.

Mrs. Eubanks..

any information you can give us might prevent a m*rder.

There's nothing I can tell you, inspector, nothing.

You know, in a case like this

the m*rder*d man isn't the only victim.

That's the tragedy.

Thanks for your time.

Al left an hour ago for Portland Oregon.

'To find George and Peggy.'

Where in Portland?

I don't know.

I really don't.

Thanks.

Six hours late. I can't wait forever.

Sorry, Mr. Diamond, we had some problems.

Alright, jump on board, let's get under way.

- I'll get my wife. - Your wife?

She's in the truck.

Alright, alright, but hurry up, get her on board.

[ship horn blowing]

Come on, Peggy.

[dramatic music]

Peg.

[George] My god.

Peggy.

Peggy.

Peg!

[instrumental music]

Tom.

We checked on all the incoming flights, Lou.

No Al Eubanks in any of the passenger lists.

He'll probably use an assumed name.

Nobody's recognized the photographs so far.

I'm sure he's here in Portland.

Now, let's, uh, let's start with taxies and car rentals.

Excuse me, fellas.

I'm looking for, uh..

Excuse me.

There's a skipper named Diamond, Jack Diamond.

- You know him? - Yeah.

That's him in The Little Joe. Better hurry though.

He's getting under way.

Hey, Diamond!

Hey, Diamond, hold on!

What are you doing here, Al?

The Breens, tell them I wanna see them.

I can't do it. They ain't on board.

Where are they?

I sent them over to Doc Hollander's.

- Who's Doc Hollander? - He's a friend of mine.

Look, that Mrs. Breen, she looked like

a pretty sick kid to me.

- Well, what happened? - I don't know.

But it looked to me like she was about to have a baby.

Well, look, Harry, I've got to find him.

Now, can you give me the doc's address?

Oh, yeah.

[instrumental music]

[tires screech]

Peggy?

Peggy.

We gotta get inside.

[music continues]

The doctor, quick, where is he?

I'm sorry, he's busy right no--

It's an emergency! My wife, she's in the car..

Please, you gotta help me.

That's the man, I'm positive.

How long ago was he here?

Less than an hour ago.

His name was, um..

Here it is.

Evans, Albert Evans.

His car was released at 3:40 pm.

Did he leave a local address, hm?

He give you any indication where he might be going?

Well, he did ask for directions to the harbor.

One more thing, we'll need a description

of the car and the license number.

It's all here on the order bank, inspector.

You can have this copy.

Thank you.

We better notify the other units and local authorities.

Mm-hmm.

[instrumental music]

How is she?

The hemorrhaging has stopped.

We've called for an ambulance.

An ambulance?

Your wife has to be hospitalized, mister..

- Mister? - Uh, Bridges.

Can't the doctor take care of her here?

We don't have the facilities here, Mr. Bridges.

She'll be much better off at Community General.

But that's gonna take so much time and by the time--

The doctor's trying to save two lives, Mr. Bridges.

[siren wailing] Your wife's and the baby's.

He'll need all the help he can get.

'And now if you don't mind'

'I'd like some personal information please.'

[siren wailing]

Mr. Bridges?

'Your wife's full name, please?'

Peggy Ann Bridges.

'Her age?'

Uh, 27.

Is this her first pregnancy?

Well, she had a miscarriage last year.

'Right through that door, the doctor's with her.'

Your address, please?

[instrumental music]

Mr. Bridges, your address, please?

Well, uh, we were just driving through when this happened.

You must live somewhere.

Oh, uh..

Well, yes, we were, uh..

coming from Denver.

Uh, we gave up our apartment in Denver

'and we were moving out here.'

To Portland?

Well, no, we were going on to Seattle.

- Where in Seattle? - We don't know yet.

Uh, but I need some address, Mr. Bridges.

Well, um, I'll probably be moving into a motel or something

someplace near the hospital.

Can I give that to you later?

[instrumental music]

George.

George.

I'm right here, Peg.

Are you angry with me?

Peg, you know better than that, of course not.

I sure fouled things up, didn't I?

No, you're gonna be fine, everything's gonna be fine.

George, I don't wanna lose this baby.

I'll die if I lose this baby too.

You won't, Peg.

Isn't that true, doctor?

She won't lose the baby, will she?

We better hurry.

Come with me

Community General, OB ward, if you need me.

[nurse] 'Alright, doctor.'

Excuse me.

We're with the FBI.

What's the trouble?

We're trying to locate two men who might've been around here.

Does this man look familiar to you?

Yeah, I think that's the same guy.

Sure, that's him.

He was here about half hour ago. Or maybe less.

'He was looking for the skipper of The Little Joe.'

- The Little Joe? - Yeah, it's a charter boat.

He's gone now, left a few minutes ago.

Well, was he aboard?

Oh, I don't think so.

It seems to me, he came back to his car and he drove off.

I wasn't paying much attention.

Does this man look familiar to you?

Oh, yeah.

He stirred things up good around here.

- What do you mean? - His wife got taken.

Passed out cold.

He wouldn't let us call an ambulance.

'Just piled her into his truck and drove off.'

A panel truck?

'Silver Crown Bakeries.'

Yeah, that's the one.

Any idea where they went?

Hospital I guess.

A doctor.

Ooh, that girl was in sad shape.

Someone said she was having a baby.

Well, thanks very much.

'Yeah.'

[instrumental music]

I'll have the office start a canvass

of doctors and hospitals.

[music continues]

May I help you?

Oh, yes, ma'am. I'm, uh, looking for my brother.

Uh, I understand that he brought his wife here.

Some kind of an emergency.

- Mr. Bridges. - That's right, Bridges.

Yes, his wife is seven months pregnant.

We've been very worried about her.

I had the impression they were just passing through town.

- How did you-- - Oh, well, uh..

I followed them in my car

and we got separated.

I lost them for a while, but, uh..

'Can you tell me where I can find them?'

Yes, of course.

They're at the Community General hospital.

They left by ambulance, just a little while ago.

Community General.

Can you tell me how to get there? I'm new in town.

Go west to the first traffic light

that's Marigold Avenue, turn right on Marigold

for about two miles, you can't miss it.

Thank you.

Uh, Mrs. Bridges, is she, uh, in any danger?

Yes, I'm afraid the situation is rather serious.

Ah, poor kids. I hate to see anything happen to them.

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

[woman over intercom] 'Calling Dr. Stevens, Dr. Stevens, will you please'

'check with the nurse on duty in Ward B.'

- Doctor. - Oh.

I wish I had better news for you, Mr. Bridges.

Your wife's condition is still rather serious.

She's lost quite a bit of blood.

Will she make it?

We're doing everything possible

to help her.

And...the baby?

Oh.

A boy, premature

but quite healthy.

- Uh, may I see my wife? - She's still pretty weak.

Make it short.

[instrumental music]

Did you see him?

Oh, he's beautiful.

He's a little skinny, but he's beautiful.

He looks just like you.

Mm.

- You feel okay? - Mm-hmm.

Hey, look, I've almost got my waistline back.

Isn't that exciting?

I get a, a skinny little baby

and my figure back in the same day.

I wanna call him George Junior, okay?

Yeah, I'd like that.

I-I want him to have your name

a-and your looks

and your personality, everything.

I want him to be just like you.

Oh, George, what are we gonna do?

First of all, we're gonna get you back on your feet.

Well, the doctor said

that that may take two weeks or so

and, and the baby's gonna have to stay in the incubator

for at least, um..

George, you can't stay here.

You have got to leave without us.

I'm not going anywhere, not anymore.

Not a chance.

George, they'll catch up with you.

I almost committed a m*rder today, a double m*rder.

By running away, I almost k*lled you and the baby.

I'm not running anymore.

But you'll go to prison.

I'll testify for the government.

Tell 'em anything they want to know.

That way I might even get a shorter sentence.

Then when I get out

'we'll go somewhere else.'

'I'll make up for all this misery.'

Don't you see, Peg, it's the only way

we can salvage what little we've got left.

You're wrong.

We have more

than we've ever had before.

[music continues]

- Mr. Bridges-- - The name is Breen.

'George C. Breen.'

[music continues]

[instrumental music]

Give me the FBI, please.

[dramatic music]

What the devil are you doing here?

I've chasing all over looking for you.

How's Peggy?

It's been rough, but she's okay.

- Al, I don't-- - Did Peggy have the baby?

A boy, but why are you here?

There's trouble. We gotta get out of here, fast.

Now, wait a minute. I'm not running anymore.

George, you don't understand.

You've been marked.

They'll be here any minute. Now let's go.

[dramatic music]

[man on radio] 'Unit 3, coming in, please.'

Unit 3, go ahead.

'Unit 11 has found suspect's panel truck.'

'They report that suspect and his wife'

'are at Community General Hospital'

'corner of Fifth and Marigold.'



Advice all units to meet us there.

Here's the keys, George, you drive.

Where are we going?

Will you get in? You wanna stay here and get k*lled?

[dramatic music]

That's Eubanks' car.

Unit 3 to all units.

I meant what I said, Al.

I'm not running anymore.

I'm gonna turn myself in.

I'm gonna head into town.

No, you're not, George.

'You just stay on this road.'

You, Al.

There's nobody else after me.

They sent you to do it.

I made a wrong move, George.

Trying to get you out.

The commission didn't want it.

It was my fault.

And now you've got to clean it up.

Al, we're family, we're friends.

You talked me into working for you.

I know, I know.

You think I want it this way?

Remember what you said? There's nothing to worry about.

That gangster stuff went out with the old movies.

Nobody kills anymore you said.

We're too smart for that.

We're business men now.

Respectable business men.

If you were in my spot, what would you do?

I'd find a way out.

I've tried everything, you know that.

Except the law.

- You're out of your head. - We could go to the FBI.

Both of us, tell 'em everything we know.

It's the only way out, Al.

Alright, George, pull up over there.

By the bridge.

[instrumental music]

What do you say?

Come on, George, let's talk some more.

What do you say?

[music continues]

You're right, George, absolutely right.

Everything you say makes sense.

It's a matter of values I guess.

You've gotta understand what's important.

'Your own conscience'

'or a brotherhood of K*llers.'

You're right, George, values.

- Jesus. - Come on.

[dramatic music]

[g*nsh*t]

We were family.

Like brothers.

[instrumental music]

[instrumental music]

If it weren't for the FBI, I'd be dead right now.

They saved my life.

[Peggy over phone] 'But you'll go to prison.'

Honey, let's face it, I'll be safer there than anywhere else.

How long, George?

How long will you be in prison?

Well, that's up to the court.

We'll just have to wait and see.

But when I get out

we'll go somewhere else, okay?

You and me and that skinny little kid.

[instrumental music]

Okay.

I love you.

'I love you too.'

'Take care.'

'Both of you.'

Thanks for letting me call.

How is she doing?

Okay.

Both she and my son.

Peg's a lot tougher than she looks.

And she'll make it no matter how long it takes.

I'm sure she will. Why don't you sit down?
