[music continues]

At least it's quiet out here.

It’s quiet in the grave.

Come on, Marilyn.

I'm sorry, I forget that you spend all day long

in a graveyard, you and your Indians.

They're not my Indians.

They happen to work at the mine. I don’t own them.

No, there isn’t very much that is yours.. or ours.

Furnished apartment, a couple of cars

and a chance to take a moonlight ride out

to this godforsaken lake.

I shouldn’t have said that. I’m sorry.

It's not your fault, I guess.

Whose fault would you say it was then?

We repaired a valve stem today.

I just want to check and see if it held

then we go home. Okay?

Marilyn, look..

I know it hasn’t been what I told you it would be

but I want you to be patient

just a little longer.

[music continues]

Jim?

Yeah?

What is that?

- Where? - Out in the lake.

[Jim] 'Looks like one of the company boats.'

It sure looks like there’s something..

Or somebody in it.

You're right.

Tonight's episode

"Superstition Rock."

[theme music]

[dramatic music]

[male narrator] On the night of April eighteenth

George Harris, a field representative of

the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs

was assaulted near the Superstition Rock mine

at Bancroft, California.

My informant, Jim Wade, who found Harris

told local law enforcement officers

that the as*ault which left Harris

in a coma and unconscious

was the latest in a series of accidents

employee injuries and other troubles

that have plagued the mine

located near the site

of an ancient Indian burial ground.

Because Harris had been assaulted

in the performance of his official duties

the Federal Bureau of Investigation

moved immediately into the case.

Well, I hate to break you off your weekend, Lewis

but I think we ought to get started on this

as soon as possible.

You have any idea why Harris was attacked?

Yes, he called his office yesterday afternoon

said he was planning to meet with a informant

who claim to have information on a person

who is responsible for all the problems

the Indians had complained about.

What's his condition now?

He's still critical, unconscious

some neurosurgeons are examining brain X-rays right now.

Lee Amboy, the resident agent covering Bancroft

sent in some photos.

I suggest you get out there today, Lewis.

When Tom comes back from Cleveland

I'll send him on immediately.

Why was Harris sent to the mine in the first place?

The request came from some of the younger Indians.

Apparently when the mining operations

which are on the surface began

some of the older members warned the mine owners

that it was very close to a tribal burial grounds

’and they’re afraid that it will be desecrated.’

What was the management's reaction to that?

First, they paid very little attention to it

but then the incidents began

the accidents at the mine and the processing plant.

And as the morale of some of the younger Indian miners

began to deteriorate, they put in a call for help

to the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

They asked Harris to look into the problem.

Hmm.

[dramatic music]

Wade and his wife found Harris about 11:15 p.m.

The county ambulance took him direct to the hospital.

I must’ve gotten out here about, uh, one in the morning.

He was already in a coma by then.

And Harris was unconscious when Wade found him?

Yes, sir. He was.

I packaged his clothing and sent it on the Bureau

with other evidence we found.

’We located his car in a side street in Bancroft’

'we processed it thoroughly, there were now laitance'

'or anything else of value.'

What about the crime scene?

Oh, sure, the lake was clean.

Agents spread out and combed the area.

’And just off the secondary highway’

'that runs down the processing plant'

’we found traces of blood on some undergrowth.’

There were also some tire marks, just off the highway.

We made, uh, plaster impressions and photographs of those

and sent them in for comparison

along with the tires of Harris’ car.

[music continues]

So, if anything, he’s in a deeper coma than before.

I'm afraid his condition will not permit surgery

at this time.

Can you tell us anything about

the type of weapon that was used?

Flat. Heavy.

No indication it was sharply pointed.

Alright, doctor, you let us know if there's any change.

I will..

...one way or another.

[woman over PA] 'Calling Dr. Dennis. Dr. Dennis.'

Oh, Inspector Erskine? Mr. Ewing Carter.

- Hello Mr. Carter? - How do you do?

Mr. Carter is the, uh, President of the Bancroft Savings & Loan

and a long time authority on Indian Affairs.

[chuckles] Mr. Erskine sometimes a man gets to be an authority

just by virtue of having been around a place

since the year one.

You know, I just talked to the head nurse.

’I understand George is just barely holding his own.’

That seems to be the general feeling.

You know, I've always thought of George as a

very good friend of mine.

I realize most of our meetings have been

on a kind of an official basis helping to arrange loans

’for Indian housing and that kind of thing.’

Well, maybe that’s how the best friendships are formed

through a sense of mutual accomplishment anyway.

[woman over PA] ’Dr. Westover, please. Will you call your exchange?’

I, uh, assume they're here out of respect for Harris?

Most of them, they feel he has always tried to help them.

Yeah? And the others?

Oh, they're waiting for him to die.

You see, to them, the mine disturbed sacred ground

the graves of their ancestors.

And the mine itself is responsible

for all the injuries and accidents

that we've suffered over the past few months.

Uh-huh!

John Run..

Inspector Lewis Erskine of the FBI.

How do you do?

I’m pleased to meet you.

But, uh, why do you come?

Oh, we’re here because Harris is a federal officer, Mr. Run.

My people have a saying.

If I hold an egg in my hand

and crush the egg

it will look like a crushed egg.

’But if I leave second egg on ground’

and the wind blows so strong

that second egg is crushed..

...who can tell first egg from second?

[music continues]

[sighs]

You see, inspector, he believes that Harris’ injury

is the work of angry spirits

guarding the burial ground.

[music continues]

[indistinct singing]

♪ The wind blow ♪

♪ Hear the wind blow dear ♪

♪ Hear the wind blow.. ♪

[grunts]

No, please, don't. Don't do it.

N-no, please.

It-it wasn't my fault.

Harris..

...h-he got there early and surprised me.

Look, that’s not what we got to worry about.

We, we got to worry about if he lives.

No, please, don't do it.

That's right, inspector

it was my idea to send for Harris.

You have any idea who might've assaulted Harris?

No, and I don't think it was the anger of the spirits either.

'But the more the incidents go on'

’the more uncertain the boys get in it.’

It's just easier to leave rather than try to find out.

And enough of the young people have left the tribe already.

Why do you stay, Mr. Blacklion?

Well, partly it’s because of the job.

When Jim Wade made me sub-foreman of the mine

he didn't forget to put the pay in the envelope too.

I used to think I'd be moving away too

but then after Vietnam and..

...college traveling in the States

I realized I have work to do here.

- So you came back? - That's right.

- Hey, Bill! - Yeah!

There you go. Come on, catch it.

Came back for them too.

I'd like to talk to Jim Wade now.

Okay, if he's not in the plant office

he'll be back here in a minute.

[engine revving]

Oh! Hi, Bill.

Mrs. Wade. I didn’t know you were here.

Well, I was just waiting for Jim

it seems that I wrote checks for more money

than I have in my account again.

Oh, I bet you're the FBI men

the local citizenry are all turned on about.

We are with the FBI.

Uh-huh.

- Mr. Amboy. - Jim.

Inspector Erskine, this is Jim Wade.

How do you do inspector.

Marilyn, unless this is really important, I--

Oh, honey I just wanted to ask you..

[telephone]

Wade?

'Yeah, Chris.'

[sighs] No, no, don’t send him in. I’m coming up.

What is it, Jim, men running out again?

As of lunch. They quit, Bill.

They talked it over at lunch and they're through.

[music continues]

Jim, they want to go back in. Get paid off.

[sighs]

[exhales] Take 'em in. Pay 'em off.

Hey, wait a minute!

You guys hold it.

You walk down the mountain now.

You don't ride in the truck.

That's right.

The company rules say we don't allow..

...children to ride in the trucks.

Just the men.

Men, who work in the mines can do that.

’That’s right, men.’

For 100 years we give up our lands

we sat on our reservations

we make beads and trinkets

and we said there was no work.

Well, now there is work..

a job and pay for your work!

So, you can have pride as a man!

And you want to give it up because you’re afraid.

Hey, listen.

You come on back up the mountain with me.

I say, we're not on the sacred grounds.

I say, I don't believe the old men and the old stories.

See if they k*ll me.

[dramatic music]

[engines cranking]

That’s quite a man you got there.

I know.

They tell me you were at the plant

when Harris came in.

That's right.

What'd he say, do you remember?

He didn't say much of anything, inspector.

I only wish I knew who did this.

- There's no one you suspect? - No.

[screaming]

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

You see that, lads?

The markings on the bow?

'That was Talking Elk'

’The last w*r chief of our tribe.’

In 1873..

...he was tricked into a peace meeting..

...then he was beaten to death.

[music continues]

[theme music]

As you can see, the arrangement of the artifacts

in this photograph is pretty much the same

'as the painting of what we had here.'

’The w*r lance at the right hand..’

Quiver of arrows, food vessels

and personal effects to the left.

You said, "Had here," Mr. Thurman.

That's correct.

You see the artifacts and the skeletons

were stolen from here last March.

Then Lou is right. The originals were

on the top of Superstition Rock.

Did you make a report of the theft?

Oh, yes, I did.

I don't recall the exact date

but I can look it up for you.

I'll check with the police. May I use the phone, please?

Yeah, sure. Use that one.

- Over there. - Thank you.

Yesterday..

on the side of a mountain in Bancroft, California..

...this arrangement was duplicated almost exactly.

Using the true skeleton of Talking Elk.

That's very strange.

Would you say whoever staged this

was extremely well acquainted with Indian lore.

Hmm, possibly an Indian himself.

Or a visitor to this museum?

Very possibly.

You have a, uh

a guest book for visitors, don't you?

Yes, we've kept one for years.

It’s in the outer display room. I’ll get it for you.

Thanks.

Yes, here it is.

The theft took place on March 18th.

A report was filled but the case is still unsolved.

Did this, uh, staged incident

'have any particular goal or effect?'

Yes, sir.

It closed a mine.

Pull.

[g*nsh*t]

This was a definite date to sh**t, Jim.

You’re a little bit late, what happened?

Well, I happened to have taken my wife shopping

then I went and had my car greased and lubed.

Besides, I don't have to answer to you anyway.

You’re a little touchy today, aren’t you?

Well, I'm not Arlen Parent, you know

I'm not one of your errand boys.

You know, Parent was a little upset

over the beating you gave him.

Yeah? Well, I was a little upset

over what you and he did to Harris, too.

Pull.

[g*nsh*t]

That's ten out of ten for me.

Terrific.

I had nothing to do with that, Jim.

I dropped him off a half a mile from the mine

and a half an hour before he was supposed to meet Harris.

Yeah? Well, he said Harris was waiting for him.

You know what the means, Harris was there

'an hour ahead of time.'

Meant probably he saw him

so, he couldn’t pull off one of his little accidents.

Parent stupidly then slugged him.

Pull.

[g*nsh*t fired]

Yeah, Parent bungled it alright.

But as it happens, it worked out

to our advantage anyway.

It's scared the Indians into pulling out

and the mine is closed.

And I imagine your bosses back east

are getting just a little bit tired of

all the expenditures.

Pretty soon I’m going to take back

what should’ve been mine rightfully all along anyway.

By the way, what did Marilyn buy?

I don't see that that's any of your business.

No?

That's money you might've given me, isn't it?

Or do I imagine all those IOUs in my safety deposit box?

You’re gonna get your money. So, don’t worry about it, huh?

[chuckling] I know I'm going to get my money.

When I own that mine I'm going to use the profits

to spread all over this valley.

'You're gonna share in that.'

'You'll have money and then you'll pay me back.'

You'd just love to turn that g*n on me, wouldn't you?

It wouldn't do any good, though, would it?

[chuckling]

No, Marilyn would leave you for sure, then, wouldn't she?

Pull.

[g*nsh*t fired]

In tracing Harris' activities during the day

we learned he had a phone call

while he was having lunch with you and Carter.

’I think this may be when the so-called informants’

'set him up.'

Oh, that fits, Lewis.

Harris called his office to inform them

of the prospective meeting about 2:15.

[sighs] Well, he made two visits to the plant.

The first to find out

why a valve stem had developed a leak.

And the second much later to meet the informant.

[sighs] I have the results now from the lab

on those tire impressions Amboy had forwarded.

They're identical.

Harris' car was apparently parked

just above the processing plant.

And the blood type also matches Harris'.

Well, Arthur, it's pretty clear how it happened.

The next question is why?

He must've known something.

Or at least been close to something.

It, uh, might be a good idea to have a talk with the owners.

'That's Trans Eastern Corporation'

'with home offices in Boston.'

I'll follow up on that.

Is the mine definitely closed now?

Wade thinks he can re-open tomorrow

with a pick-up crew of non-Indians.

I see.

Has Tom arrived yet?

No, we're expecting him any minute.

I'll be in touch, Arthur.

[dramatic music]

If anybody checks..

...the records at the county work forum

will show that you did 30 days

for vagrancy and petty theft.

In case anyone should ask, what did I steal?

A case of whiskey and three cartons of cigarettes.

Seems to me like we're awfully lenient with you.

Now we drop you off with a ticket to the state line.

Huh.

Suppose I should cash it in?

Well, we always need help at the county forum.

Hmm.

[music continues]

You fellas from around here?

Hi. I'm sorry I'm late.

Hey, could you give me hand with these packages?

Um..

Let's see..

Thank you.

[sighs]

- Here. - Mm-hmm.

And this..

Okay.

[instrumental music]

Oh! I'll take those.

- Thank you. - Here you are.

[sighs] I'll be just a minute.

I just fell in love with this

and I hope they got the alterations right.

Pretty?

I imagine you heard about the remains of Talking Elk

being found up at the mine yesterday.

Oh, sure, all the Indians ran away.

I can't really say that I blame them though.

You'd seen Talking Elk before, hadn't you?

'Under different conditions.'

Yup, San Francisco Museum.

Do you really like it?

It's very attractive.

Oh, yeah. I’ll be the rage of the supermarket in this

on Saturday night when everybody shows up

to watch everybody else buy garden hose.

I'm sorry, where were we?

- The Museum. - Oh.

Was your husband there with you?

Mm-hm.

I remember because he forgot his camera in the display room

and when the director handed me the book

I signed it.

What do you think of my portrait?

You know this was done when we were living in Santa Barbara.

Jim was doing very, very well there.

'Then he lost his job and, well, we ended up out here.'

Do you know what the average annual income

of some of the people in Santa Barbara is?

Ah.

[indistinct chatter]

Alright, break it up. Break it up.

[groaning]

You okay?

Yeah.

I'm okay. Forget about it.

Anyway, I started the fight.

I had it coming.

You did?

- That's right. - Why?

[panting] Because I was ashamed.

Ashamed of them, ashamed of myself.

But Indians don’t apologize

th-they can fight, but they don't apologize.

I made fun of them this morning, inspector.

I called them cowards, my own people.

Just afraid of something they don't understand.

Well, I wouldn't feel too bad, Bill.

After all, you can't change that overnight, you know.

No, I’m not talking about them, now.

Look..

...I’m an educated man, right?

High school, two years of college.

I'm a w*r veteran.

They went into that mine because I made fun of them.

But after we found Talking Elk

when they gave up and nobody had to go back up on that mountain..

...I was glad..

...because by then, you see..

...I was afraid too.

[dramatic music]

[theme music]

[motor whirring]

Hey, County! That’s enough for now!

You're gonna take the top of that mountain off!

[music continues]

Oh, uh, you boys met County here?

Yeah.

Forget that County stuff, my name’s Glen.

[chuckles] I'm sorry, I didn't know you were so sensitive.

Of course, all these good ol' boys have seen

the sheriff drop you off in front of the bus stop

so, uh, you ain't about to keep it a secret.

Come on, give the guy a break, will you, Arlen?

'We all do a little farming for the sheriff every now and then.'

Now, where you from originally, Glen?

Yeah, where are you from originally, County?

San Francisco.

'You ever been there?'

No, I don't have time for vacations.

Hey, Arlen, you was down in San Francisco

'just a while back, wasn't you?'

Eat and let's get back to work, huh?

[dramatic music]

I heard that Harris was operated on.

Yeah, I just talked to the hospital.

We may be able to see him tomorrow.

That's good.

Things are not so good at the mine.

- Huh? - Work is stumbling to a halt.

But all the new workers are convinced

that, uh, Wade is a good boss.

Tough but fair and not concerned about his job.

Well, he better be concerned.

His wife buys clothes

as if she doesn't want anyone else to get any.

I found out that Parent was in San Francisco.

He was confirmed by one of the miners at lunch.

And later on I was able to, um, pin it down to mid-March.

Which would Parent in the city

at the time of the theft at the museum.

Wade could have given him photographs

and instructions of exactly what to take.

Well, it's worked.

As a result of what's been going on here

Trans Eastern has indicated they may be willing to sell.

Has there been any offers?

Yes, just one

from a Wall Street law firm acting for a company called

Vantage Construction And Quarrying.

It’s a one-man corporation.

And you know who the one man is?

- Who? - Ewing Carter.

Carter’s been out here for 35 years.

Why would he wait till now?

We learned this land was up for public sale

in 1916 and Carter made a bid on it.

Shortly afterwards he suffered and financial reverses

and had to sell out to Trans Eastern at a big loss.

And so now he figures he's gonna take back

what he thinks belongs to him.

Yeah, and the irony is he may not have to pay much more for it

than Trans Eastern did.

And Harris must have been on the verge

of exposing the whole scheme.

Yeah, I dropped by the County Recorder’s office

a little while ago. He remembers him coming in last week.

Well, let's hope he's well enough to

tell you so himself tomorrow.

Well, I better be getting back.

Watch yourself, Tom.

Always.

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

[male #1] 'Come in.'

Unit Five to Unit One.

One, go ahead.

Parent just entered Carter's house

at 315 Shallon Road.

Right, Tom. Continue surveillance.

Ten-four.

[Arlen] 'Can't you understand?'

If that Harris guy opens his mouth

I'm on my way to the federal penitentiary.

No, Arlen, I think the government is gonna give

the state first crack at you.

Attempted m*rder carries a much heavier penalty.

I don’t think that’s funny.

But seein’ as how you got such a sense of humor..

...you can just figure on you and Wade

sitting on my lap wherever I go.

Oh, yes, what is the expression?

You're going to blow the whistle on everybody?

- Well, I don't want to but-- - Arlen, how can I help us all?

Help you, help me, and help Jim.

Now that is what I've tried to do right along, isn't it?

You know, if, uh..

If I had $30,000 cash money

I could, uh, try to go so far they'd never find me.

'I could leave right now.'

Arlen, I haven't got $30,000 cash here in my house.

But you could get it.

In the morning.

Now, you go on to work

just as if nothing had happened.

What do mean? Supposin’ that guy--

'Supposing he takes a turn for the worse'

and dies before noon

are you going to be able to explain

what you were doing catching a plane

without his saying a word?

[dramatic music]

[telephone ringing]

[man on T.V.] ...annual Golden Dawn Race.’

'The race draws dozens of millionaire sportsmen'

’both for the excitement of the race and the fun-filled’

’social events that precede and follow it.’

[telephone ringing]

- Hello. - 'Jim.'

There's an old saying..

"Situations growing desperate

are by desperate appliances relieved."

'I think that's Shakespeare.'

Well, I wouldn’t know about that, see.

I guess I could check it out.

We've got to tie it off, Jim.

Parent just left here.

- 'He threatened us both.' - Oh, yeah? Well, so?

Well, Parent's death has got to look like an accident.

A mine accident that he bungled in staging.

Well, I don’t want to hear anymore of that, see.

I'm hanging right now..

'Jim? Are you there?'

Yeah.

Now the only name that Harris can give is Parent's.

Jim, we are one accident away from a million dollars.

'And a good part of that for you.'

Now, wait a minute, you're talking about a human life.

[sighs] Well..

...yes, that’s what it comes down to sometimes, doesn’t it?

’Now, Arlen is the first man up on the mountain, isn’t he?’

'He checks every vehicle'

'and signs the county safety compliance reports.'

So, he’ll be alone then, right?

- I can’t do it. - Of course you can, Jim.

We haven't any choice.

[man on T.V.] ’At the race’s inception 14 years ago.’

'Perhaps the biggest disappointment of the day..'

What did you do that for, right in the middle of the race?

I'll buy you a yacht, Marilyn, you can be in the next one.

Jim, what is the matter with you?

You're leaving me, aren't you?

Where you going?

I am not leaving you, Jim.

Don't lie to me, Marilyn, I saw your bags packed.

I'm going to San Francisco for the weekend

to visit my sister.

Now, I told you that days ago.

That's right, you did.

I forgot.

[dramatic music]

Look, Marilyn.

You gotta give me a little more time.

I know how you hate it here

but you gotta be patient.

I need you.

Jim, what is wrong?

Hold me, Marilyn.

Nothing's wrong.

Everything’s gonna be fine

as long as you stay with me.

Everything’s gonna be fine.

You’re gonna have everything you ever wanted.

[music continues]

[theme music]

It was Arlen Parent, inspector.

Was he alone?

Yes, and on foot.

Somebody must've dropped him off on the highway.

You did talk to him before the attack.

That's right.

He was surprised..

...shook..

...because I wasn’t supposed to be there before he arrived.

'When I asked who sent him out'

'he swung on me with a wrench.'

But you must have been on to something else..

something that prompted the attack.

I learned that Carter made a bid on the mine once before.

I got a hunch.

...Not enough to take to the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

But I happened to be talking to one of his bookkeepers.

He mentioned this company in Los Angeles.

Vantage Construction And Quarrying?

'That's right.'

You're on the same trail as I was, huh?

That makes me feel good.

Did you mention this to Carter?

Yes.

And he said it was a tax shelter

and that didn't sound right.

Then Carter invited me to lunch

and Parent knew where we were going.

Alright, George, that's all we need for now.

Your, uh, parents are outside

and they've, they've had quite a wait.

Thanks, inspector.

Thank you.

Tell the US attorney what we've got

and ask for a warrant on Arlen Parent.

[dramatic music]

[music continues]

Didn’t expect to see you here this morning.

Morning, Arlen. Larkin.

Mr. Wade.

Carter called me early this morning.

He's got what you want.

You go in there at noon, he'll give it to you.

You two finally listenin’ to reason, huh?

You mind, uh, give me a lift up to my rig?

Yes, sure. Why not?

[dramatic music]

[engine rumbling]

[dramatic music]

[rumbling]

[dramatic music]

[siren wailing]

I saw Larkin moving. He must be alright.

Can you hear me down there?

You got to get me up out of here.

But do something, don't just let me die.

Wade's trying to k*ll me.

[dramatic music]

Hey, Parent.

I am gonna throw the rope down to you.

'Reach out and grab it.'

Come on. Reach out and take it.

I can't. I'll fall!

I'm going down. Give me a hand.

[dramatic music]

[grunts]

He woulda k*lled us both.

Him and Carter, they're in it together.

[panting]

Well, you can tell me about it later.

Let's get you out of here.

[dramatic music]

Okay, Tom.

Can you move?

Yeah.

Yeah. I think so.

What about Parent.

He's alright.

[dramatic music]

Jim, what's happened?

You tried to k*ll me.

'You and Carter.'

Arlen Parent, we have a warrant for your arrest.

Charging you with the as*ault of George Harris.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say maybe used against you.

’You have the right to an attorney if you wish.’

It was him and Carter. I don't care.

Jim, is that true?

Is it true?

Yeah, it's true.

What? Why?

Oh, my. Not for me?

Doesn't much matter anymore, does it?

I’m ready to tell you whatever you want to know.

You can come with us now.

[dramatic music]

[grunting]

[dramatic music]

Okay, your turn now, inspector!

[grunting]

[male #2] ’Alright, you guys. Keep it movin’ there.’

Hey!

How’s it goin’?

Well, we’re just about ready to leave.

Whoo! Well, uh, congratulations, inspector.
