All language subtitles for The FBI s01e03 A Mouthful of Dust

Good, now you're crazy.

It doesn't even make sense.

It don't supposed to make sense.

Poetry. Oh, poetry.

Hey.

Hey, where are we anyway?

Almost home, brother.

Home on the range.

Home.

Almost home.

What happened to the beautiful idea you
have about stopping someplace at

midnight, huh? Well, I got a thinking
about that little bride of mine.

All alone in that drafty house.

That's called Pikes Wagon, isn't it?

Hey, Joe.

Naimin?

Joe. Joey.

The FBI.

A QM production.

Blake.

R .G. Armstrong.

Tonight's episode, A Mouthful of Dust.

So?

And so.

I'll tell you one thing, Lewis.

Both these specimens were written by the
same man.

Wagner? No question.

How about the paper?

No, American made.

Very familiar watermark.

But the letter was mailed from Brazil.

No question about that either.

Cancellation, eh?

Everything checks out.

What's he wanted for?

Oh, a little awful fight to avoid
prosecution, embezzlement.

I think you're going to have a little
trouble getting him out of Brazil.

If he's in Brazil.

Sends the letter to his brother, the
brother turns it over to us.

Very cooperative.

Yeah, like shining a flashlight down a
dark alley, isn't it?

That's where the eye goes, whether
there's anything there or not.

Quinlan.

Inspector Erskine, he's right here right
now.

San Lucas, New Mexico. The resident
agent.

Erskine, who's this?

Oh, Dennis. How are you? Just fine, sir.
Fine.

Um, I have a little problem, Inspector,
and I tell you the truth, I'd appreciate

your help.

Shoot.

Well, a man named Pike was killed on the
Apache reservation this morning.

You know, everything we found points to
a simple case of manslaughter.

Pike had a mile -long arrest record,
assault, peeping Tom, the whole bit.

Anyway, he apparently tried to attack an
Indian woman in her own home. He must

have known the husband was away working
in Albuquerque.

But the husband came back.

What kind of a statement did the husband
make?

That's my problem.

He won't say anything except that he has
to talk to you.

Why me?

Captain, Captain, this is Cloud.

Private Cloud.

Company C, Korea.

Did you hear that, sir?

Put him on.

Well, I told him. I said you can't
disturb... What did you say, sir?

Put him on. I know who he is.

Yes, sir.

He wants to talk to you.

Captain, this is Private Cloud.

You remember me?

Sure, I remember, Cloud. How are you?

Fine. What's happening out there?

Well, I'd like to explain to you.

These policemen have been trying to make
me talk.

And I keep telling them they don't have
the right to do that.

Now listen, Cloud.

Special agents aren't policemen. They're
investigators.

All they want to do is find out what
went on so they can give the facts to

United States Attorney.

You think, Captain, I have to tell them
everything?

That's right.

But I did tell everything.

The whole truth.

The time I was caught behind the lines,
remember?

And they said I was a deserter.

Well, the charge was dropped, wasn't it?

Yeah, it was dropped. But you remember
why?

Because you argued with the judge until
you were blue in the face.

Listen, why do we do this?

I have to make a speech in Denver on the
19th.

Suppose I see you on my way home.

Captain, if you say it's okay, it's
okay.

I will see you around the 20th.

I'll be there.

Oh, Inspector.

You are right about the material in the
folds of the Wagner letter.

The botanist confirms that it's Barton.

Can he identify the tree?

Yes, sir.

Lost in Cyprus.

Good.

Good.

Good problem.

Thanks, Vic. Send a copy of your report
over to Jim, will you?

I'll see you later.

Heavy date?

Lunch with Barbara.

Why don't you join us? We'll be at the
Sorrento. Sorry, can't. Take a rain

check, though.

Oh, say, give that beautiful daughter of
yours a big kiss for me.

Isn't that the assistant director?

Hello, Barbara. Hello, Mr. Ward. Hello
there, Roach. Good afternoon, sir.

Switchboard told me your father was
here.

Oh, yes, he ought to be along any
minute. We've been expecting him.

I'll bet you have.

Hi, Daddy.

Hello, Lewis.

May I speak to you, too, for just a
minute?

This won't take long.

of pressure, you gentlemen, but will
someone please tell me why Nicholas

is still a fugitive after seven months?

He's had a very stimulating talk with
the director.

What, are we dragging our feet here a
little bit loose, or what?

If he's still in Brazil... He's not in
Brazil.

He's somewhere along the California
-Oregon border, probably around Eureka.

He may be working in a lumber camp.

What did he do, send you a telegram?

No, he sent a letter to Brazil.

And he had someone in Brazil mail it to
his brother in New York.

We found some minute wood particles in
it. Lost in Cyprus, bought off at Cedar.

Now, the only place it grows is in
northwestern California and southwestern

Oregon.

Nobody likes a show -off, Lewis.

Rode, you fly to the coast this
afternoon.

Yes, sir. And I want you here to
coordinate this.

Yeah, but Art, I'm scheduled to make a
speech in Denver tomorrow night. Well,

cancel it.

Let the SAC handle it.

Yeah, but you see it. What's more
important, delivering a speech or

Nick Wagner?

Another redskin bit the dust. Huh?

I'm not arguing with you, Counselor. I'm
just asking you to make it smooth. All

right, Crowley. I will speak to him.

About time you got here.

Where have you been?

Mr. Cloud, you aren't my only client.
I'm the only client you've got that

matters to me, mister.

Where did you find him?

He was in the county courthouse. Now,
just steady down, Joe.

Hey, mister, come on.

All right, Mr. Cloud, what's on your
mind?

Who do you think is on my mind?

I tell you to get me out of here, and
instead they are sending me to Santa Fe.

Mr. Cloud, don't you listen to anything
I say, huh?

You're a federal prisoner.

That means you've got to be tried by a
federal judge.

Now, the federal judge is in Santa Fe.

Tried for what?

I didn't do anything.

Don't you listen to anything I say?

Cloud, you killed a man. You already
said that.

A man?

Pike?

I wrung a chicken's neck.

She's fine, Joe.

I'm going to bring her home from the
hospital tomorrow.

She has her ribs taped, okay?

Okay, let's go.

Have fun.

Why don't you write a petition or
something?

Tell them I take back everything I said.

Maybe I said too much.

I want to wait for Mr. Erskine. He'll
know what to do.

He's my friend.

He will talk to them.

What's wrong?

Will you listen to me, Joe?

Mr. Erskine called.

He's not coming.

You're kidding.

He's a busy man or something, huh?

Believe me, it's true.

Everybody's busy.

This our boy, Sheriff?

Yeah.

Sign both these copies, will you, Gene?

TV said it'd be 104 by noon.

Well, I'd better have a sandstorm the
way it looks.

Yeah, crazy weather, ain't it? Like
something wild got loose.

Thank you, Marco.

Hey, will you loosen it for me?

It's got to be a long ride.

I'm going to double lock those things.

Yeah, I know.

You mean there's no trace of him?

What about the car?

We found out this morning in a canyon 60
miles west of town.

Is he armed?

Just with that cuff.

Well, that brings up another problem.

A marshal he hits in a pretty bad way.

Fractured skull.

The people around here are getting
scared.

And they're mad.

We may get a little vigilante activity.

All right, if there's a flight open,
I'll be there tonight.

Lewis, that Indian I told you about.
Well, I gathered that one... Can it

Thelma?

One Indian.

Unarmed.

He's the fox and the hounds are after
him.

Lewis, the director gives you a good
deal of autonomy because you deliver and

because he trusts you.

You've got more important things on your
docket than... Than what?

A man has got some rights, Art. And
among them is the right to be brought to

trial alive.

Let Denison handle it. Where do we stand
if he's lynched?

Let Denison handle it.

I want Nick Wagner, and I want you on
this case until it's completed.

Thelma, get me Mr. Rhodes and Eureka.

Well, that's why I rang you, sir. Mr.
Rhodes called.

He wanted you to know they've captured
Wagner.

He said to tell you that Wagner was
right where you said he'd be.

Maybe you'd better get Rhodes anyway,
Thelma.

Yes, sir.

I suppose you'll want him to meet you in
San Lucas.

You're a good man, Art.

I love him.

I'll try to remember you in my prayers
you say that but you never do it

Don't make us out.

Anybody in the house? Just me.

Any food?

In the newspaper.

you

Oh, by the way, Crowley's given us a
search party. Men who really know this

country. Is that the sheriff Cloud got
away from?

First prisoner he ever lost.

Crowley's a good man.

Fine man.

But he's going to bring Cloud back if he
has to bring him back slung over a

horse. It's a point of honor now.

Inspector Erskine, I'm Crowley.

Sheriff, this is my partner, Jim Rhodes.
How do you do, sir?

Well, we got a couple of extra horses.
You can pick whichever one you want.

No highways back where we're going.

You have a pretty good idea where Cloud
is, do you?

I've got a couple of ideas.

We'll take him.

Alive, of course.

Mr. Erskine, can I ask you a question?

How come the FBI decided to send their
chief investigator on a case this small?

Well, Sheriff, I might say that the FBI
doesn't consider it a small case.

Also, I have to tell you that Cloud
happens to be a friend of mine.

Oh.

I knew him in Korea.

He was a good soldier.

Good killer, sir?

He killed because he was ordered to, not
because he wanted to.

There's a difference, Sheriff.

Nobody ordered him to hit that marshal
over the head.

The man's liable to die.

And if he dies, Cloud ought to be
brought to trial for murder alive.

Wouldn't he, Sheriff?

Yes, sir.

No doubt about that.

Well, shall we get started?

Do we have a minute? I'd like to talk to
his brother.

I don't think Peter's seeing you. He's
getting ready to burn the house.

To do what?

It's an Apache custom.

Someone dies in your Hogan, you burn it
down.

Are we going in?

Yes, sir.

Mr. Clark.

This is Inspector Erskine, Special Agent
Rhodes.

You finally made it, huh?

What did you bother for?

Don't you know that sometimes it's
better never than late, Mr. Erskine?

I tried to get here sooner.

Look at that.

That's Joe's wife.

I bet you never saw an Indian woman cry
before, did you?

It's funny.

Carl Pike have killed her, but she
didn't cry.

They must have hurt her bad in the
hospital, but she didn't cry.

They put her husband in the jailhouse
for trying to save her life, but she

didn't cry.

But let the medicine man burn down this
lousy, miserable hole of a house, and

she comes apart.

While she's young yet, she will get over
it.

She will find another man and have too
many children, and most of them will

She'll move to another house and another
one, another one.

It's just that this was the first house,
her honeymoon palace.

You know where Joe is, Mr. Cloud?

You want me to flush him out for you?

Mister, if they cut your wrists, gall
would flow out, not blood.

He's my brother.

I'm not going to help you kill him.

I want you to help me save him.

Okay, maybe I could whistle him out of
whatever cave he's hiding in. But

one thing I couldn't do, mister.

And that's watched those men out there
kill my brother when he reached out to

take my hand.

If you whistle him out, I give you my
word of honor, he won't be shot.

All right, now, you tell me.

What is a white man's word of honor
supposed to mean to an Apache?

Pete, please help them.

Annie, go back to Grandma's house and
stay there. You don't want to see this

place burn down, Mrs. Clark.

By tomorrow, there may be a lot of the
wrong people looking for your husband.

We've got to get there first.

Annie, you can't trust this man any more
than we can trust the others.

Pete, please.

Go to Grandma's house.

For Joe?

Go on, go on. Will you?

Yes. All right, go.

All right, well, um, I'll leave the
helicopter to spot for us. Check it out.

Yes, sir. I'll get the walkie -talkies.

Mr. Erskine, if this is just another
white man's treaty to be broken,

you remember, Joe is my brother.

Inspector,

I just got a call from town.

Joe Cloud beat and robbed a shepherd
south of the reservation.

He stole a knife, a gun, and a horse.
He's armed and headed this way.

I told my men to shoot to kill.

Okay, man up.

Has he been this way?

No.

That's fine.

Just fine.

Do you know what we're after, Apache?

We're chasing Joe Cloud, not a wild
goose.

I know better than you what we're
chasing.

If you don't like where I'm leading you,
why don't you follow somebody else?

Sheriff, why don't we take a break?

It's been a long day. We're all tired
and...

My eastern spine wasn't built for a
horse anyway.

Dismount! Five minutes!

He thinks I'm after his brother because
he's got a red skin.

You think that?

No.

I'm a lawman here, Mr. Erskine.

It's not an easy job.

A man learns to use a gun before he
leaves grammar school. He gets a big

the law, and the first thing you know is
his own law.

I'll quit before I see that happen,
whether he's red, white, black, green,

purple.

Now I know what they mean by the hinges
of hell.

Yeah, and it'll get hotter before it
gets cooler.

It'll be like the wind blowing off a hot
furnace.

Ain't a wet spring creek or waterhole
within 100 miles.

That's what's gonna beat Joe Cloud, no
matter where he is.

You don't think he's around here, then?

His brother's leading us, Inspector.

No, I don't think he's around here.

Joe's?

Mm -hmm.

The horse was going slow.

Almost done.

My brother is not far from here.

You make a good tracker, Pete.

Yeah.

It's like being a good hangman.

Look.

You're doing the best thing you could
for your brother.

I don't know.

You find him, and we bring him in safe.

You heard the promise.

It's funny.

You keep wanting to trust people.

No matter what they do, you want to
trust them.

You can trust Erskine. Why?

He's here.

I ask the same question, why?

This is not a war. It's one Indian alone
in the desert.

Unit 2 to ground.

I've spotted him.

Where are you? Straight north from your
present location.

There's a riot on the left about two
miles.

He's headed right into it.

We spotted him, boys. Mount up.

Crowley. Crowley!

You don't need that gun.

He's not going anywhere.

All you have to do is take him.

You boys stay here and fang along the
watch in case he doubles back.

Won't shoot.

Joe?

Now, there's a man.

Where's he headed for?

Hatchet Creek.

It's probably dry, too.

We'll go around. The bird will keep him
in sight.

Coming?

No.

It's over now, Mr. Erskine.

The sheriff said it.

He's a man.

He won't quit now.

He will go on fighting like a man.

And he will die like a man without me to
call him back.

Hey. Now!

I wouldn't do it now even if I could.

You go to him.

You find the words.

You tell him.

the wash over there.

I'll help you bring him up.

Well, clown.

You suppose the only time we're going to
get together is when there's a war on?

This one was rougher than Korea.

Private cloud against the world, right?

I'll tell you something.

Nobody's got it made.

Everybody fights.

You, your wife, Crowley, your brother,
me.

It's just that each person fights in a
little

different terrain.

Joe, you've lost a skirmish.

But as long as a man fights...

Can't lose the war.

Can he?

I'm not here to spin you fairy tales.

You're going to go to prison.

But it won't be as rough as what you've
come through.

And it won't last forever.

You'll have a wife to come back to.

And a new house to build.

Don't finish this on your stomach in the
dust.

Now give me the knife.

We'll get you back to town.

I imagine you want to...

Clean up before Annie sees you.

You look terrible.

And what did he say when he heard the
sentence?

Nothing. He knew it was fair.

He could have got life if either of the
men he hit had died.

Well, I got an appointment with the
director.

See you back at the office, Jim. Right.

Bye, sweetheart. Bye -bye, Daddy.

He's quite a man.

Yes, yes, he is.

I meant Joe Cloud.

He's quite a man, too.
