Oh, Mr. Burton. Good morning.

Yoshi?

Is Mr. Reynolds up yet?

Mr. Reynolds is not here, sir.

And where might he be this time?

Have you tried his office?

Excuse me.

Mr. Burton?

Sir?

What did he do, take a plane?

Tell you to forward his clothes afterwards?

Yoshi, the man, ran out on a debt.

Why'd he want to be loyal to a fool?

If he couldn't afford to lose, he shouldn't have gambled, should he?

I'll kill you if I have to, Yoshi. You know that, don't you?

Now, where is he?

Mr. Reynolds' residence.

Will you accept a collect call from Mr. Beverly Kingman?

Yes. Go ahead, please.

Hi, Yoshi.

Good morning, Miss Kingman.

Is he there?

He's in the shower.

He's in the shower, Miss Kingman.

Oh, well, don't bother him. I just wanted to let him know that our

for San Juan have been confirmed.

I'm leaving to meet him now. Isn't this exciting?

Yes, miss.

You sound bored to tears.

No, I'm not at all bored, Miss Kingman.

Well, think of it this way. You're not losing a bachelor, you're gaining a

bride. We won't be long, and when we come back, you can take care of the

for both of us, okay?

Okay.

Bye -bye.

So it's a honeymoon trip.

I just put my mind at ease.

Tonight's episode, Southwind.

April 13th, banker Lawrence Reynolds boarded a Miami -bound plane with nearly

million in cash in his possession.

On the same morning, a routine audit of Reynolds' San Francisco bank by the

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation uncovered possible violations of the

Federal Reserve Act.

When FBI Inspector Louis Erskine arrived in San Francisco, Reynolds' leave was

exactly one hour and 55 minutes.

Our main stumbling block so far is Reynolds' own reputation.

A few people we've talked to refuse to believe he's capable of embezzlement,

including the FDIC official who originally called us.

Who was that, by the way?

Julian Scott.

He's a hard man to fool.

If Reynolds is a thief, he's certainly fooled more than one man in this town.

comes from a highly regarded San Francisco family.

His father was president of the bank before him.

Did you talk to Reynolds personally?

No, we tried to telephone, but there was no answer from the apartment.

I told his secretary he could reach us at Scott's office if he should come in

before 10 o 'clock.

Oh, that's it up there.

You better take a run over to Reynolds' apartment, Tom. See if the manager knows

where he is.

Yes, sir.

Yeah? Oh, Lewis.

Hello, Julian. How are you?

Shaken. I suppose Bennett's filled you in.

Let's go over it again anyway.

Well, there isn't much to say, but what there is brings up some interesting

questions.

In the last 24 hours, my examiners have developed a pretty bad picture where

Reynolds is concerned.

It looks as though he may have embezzled roughly $1 ,800 ,000.

We tried to reach his executive assistant, but the man was out of town.

His name is Walter Cleaf. We located him this morning. He was on vacation in

Oregon. He's on his way back to the Bay Area now. I told him we'd meet him here.

Alan, I'm sorry. Did you say Reynolds was married?

No, single.

What about his business sense?

Has he ever backed any speculative ventures? Ever taken a gamble in the

Florence Reynolds?

No, Reynolds would never gamble on anything.

He's too conservative for that.

He gave me a message.

Where do we stand?

He's gone, Mr. Leitner.

There's no doubt about that.

Adam,

maybe I'm too old for this business.

A hundred thousand in IOUs, and I never believed for a minute he'd cut out of

this. Not for a second.

What now?

The girlfriend says they're going to end up in San Juan.

She lives in Boston.

I called Everett, told him to drive up there and watch the airport.

But either they intend to meet someplace else or Reynolds is up to some kind of

hanky -panky.

Why?

No flights out of here for Boston till this evening.

Oh, the tangled web we went first we practiced to this evening.

Yes, sir.

Go after him.

San Juan.

You want him dumped?

That's what I want.

Not unless you have to.

You know, Mr. Lydon, I was thinking.

Reynolds owes us $100 ,000, and he's a banker.

It could be he isn't coming back.

What do you mean?

Well, if I was a banker and was leaving for good, I'd never split out of here

empty -handed.

No?

It may take a while to find him.

This may turn out to be a very profitable business deal.

Just so you remember who the profit belongs to.

With what?

I wouldn't want to have to send somebody after you, Mike.

Embezzlement? No, there's got to be some other explanation. You've made a

mistake.

Money's gone, Mr. Cleve. There's no mistake about that.

Well, but what does Mr. Reynolds say?

You mean you haven't talked to him yet? Why not?

Do you know where he is?

Why, certainly. He's in Fort Worth.

Or at least he will be if he hasn't landed yet in a minute or two.

He was scheduled to leave this morning by private plane.

To accuse a man like Larry Reynolds of embezzlement, well, it's just... Well,

perhaps we are wrong, Walter.

I hope so.

I know you're wrong.

Are you familiar with his personal life, Mr. Cleve?

Well, I know he's engaged to be married.

To whom?

Miss Beverly Kingman. Do you have her address?

Boston. I'm not sure.

You can get it through the personnel office.

She's the executive secretary to our manager in Boston.

But I don't see what that has to do with anything.

Yes?

Yes, certainly.

Inspector, someone named Colby.

Oh, thank you.

Yes, Tom.

I'm in the Reynolds apartment, Lou. There's been a beating here.

When I first arrived, I couldn't raise anyone, so I had the landlady open the

door with a passkey.

We found the Reynolds valet, a man named Yoshimura, laying on the floor, badly

beaten. Possible skull fracture.

What about Reynolds?

Well, there's no sign of him.

There's a trunk packed and ready to go.

Were you able to get anything out of the valet?

He was only semi -conscious, but he did mention the name Burton and something

about gambling.

Gambling.

All right, stay with him, Tom, until we can get some agents over to the hospital

to relieve you.

Inspector.

A plane just landed at Fort Worth with nobody aboard but the pilot.

He said Reynolds called him in the middle of the night and told him he

be able to make the trip but to go ahead, have the plane serviced in Texas

wait for further orders.

Round -the -clock surveillance on the plane and the pilot.

Yes, sir.

And bring the SAC Boston up to date.

Ask him to keep an eye on a Miss Beverly Kingman, Reynolds' fiancée. She works

for the bank's office in Boston.

Right. Alan, does the name Burton tie in in any way with local gambling?

Yes, sir, it does.

Joe Leitner is the current man at the top. Burton works for him.

See if you can locate him. I'd like to talk to him.

About what, Inspector?

Oh, just say, one of his clients.

Much.

What's the matter?

Nothing. I'm nothing.

Oh, I don't know.

You've got on that same conservative suit. Yes. Same banker's attaché case.

What? But a different soul.

Do souls change?

No.

Aims change.

Pressures build up.

Masks crack.

That's all.

Oh, Beverly, I, uh...

I was going to telephone you this morning. Oh, I told Yoshi you didn't

Told Yoshi?

When I talked to him, he said you were taking a shower.

When was this?

Well, this morning, about 45 minutes before I left Boston.

Eight your time, about 11 my time.

It was an odd conversation.

I got the feeling there was someone else in the room with Yoshi.

Did you tell Yoshi where we were going?

I don't think so.

I know I told him to tell you our reservations have been confirmed.

Did you mention Puerto Rico?

No.

Or did I?

Why? Does it matter?

Your attention, please.

Flight 519, Miami to San Juan.

Ready for departure at gate 24.

Come on, that's us.

Beverly, I... No, I can't do this to you. I thought I could, but I can't.

Do what?

Take you with me.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Well, you see, I won't be coming back. I won't be able to.

Yoshi will get a letter Monday telling him where to send everything.

I'll fly to Brazil from Puerto Rico.

Yes, that's right, Aya.

I have almost two million dollars in here.

You love me?

Oh, yes.

Then that's it.

Take me along.

You don't understand what it means.

I know I want to be with you. I understand that much.

I want Reynolds' picture shown to every ticket agent on every airline in every

terminal within 100 miles of here.

Use as many agents as you need, but keep on it.

Inspector.

We got a report on Mike Burton.

Where is he?

All the informant knows is he left the Bay Area sometime around 10 o 'clock

morning. He was alone.

Word is he was on a job for Joe Leitner.

Contract? Yes, sir.

Try to get a direction on him at least. Right.

Erskine. Oh, hello, Lewis. This is Arthur.

What have you found out?

He got away with more than $1 ,800 ,000.

Do we have any leads?

Not yet.

Well, he may have gotten away with a Kingman girl, too.

What do you mean?

She's missing.

I just talked to Boston.

The people she worked with thought there was something in the air in terms of an

elopement, but she didn't say where she was going or when.

Yeah, if there's time.

Time? It looks as though somebody else wants Reynolds, too.

He may have run out on some gambling debts. We're trying to follow that

now. Uh -huh.

Well, I'll send a description to you right away.

Just keep me informed, Lewis.

I will.

Good luck.

Hello? A hospital called. Ballot's conscious now. Got a car downstairs.

We're on time.

The sun should just be going down when we land.

Very romantic.

I'm tired, that's all.

Don't worry, I'm not going to foist that little game on you for the rest of our

lives. What little game?

Oh, I think it's called... Boy, mister, are you going to pay for that dreadful

thing you did to pitiful Beverly?

I'm just glad you couldn't leave without me.

But it's going to take a certain amount of adjusting to, that's all.

I know.

Do you mind if I ask you a couple questions?

No, no, no. Anything you want.

Why don't we go straight to Brazil?

Two reasons.

To muddy up the trail a little bit and because I have to see a man in San Juan.

What man?

A man who's going to give us new names, new papers.

You see, there may be somebody else after Lawrence Reynolds, too.

Part of the money I owed was in gambling debts.

Zoe.

You know what they put under my picture in the high school yearbook?

The girl most likely to end up a proper Bostonian.

Yes, that's the man.

Why did he hit you, Mr. Yoshimura?

Was he looking for your employer?

He said Mr.

Reynolds owed him money.

Gambling debts?

Why did Mr. Reynolds leave town?

I heard one of the nurses talking about embezzlement.

Where is he now?

Where were you going to send the trunk?

He said he would mail me the instruction.

Where did he and Miss Kingman plan to meet?

Mr. Yoshimura, you know better than most people how dangerous Burton is.

Now, we understand your feelings of loyalty.

But don't you realize what will happen if Burton reaches Reynolds and Miss

Kingman before we do?

Arrest. Pardon.

He's disappeared.

Mr. Yoshimura, please cooperate with us. There isn't much time.

Thank you Mr.

Yoshimura.

What would you like on the series, Umber?

Bonche in six games.

It's a very good choice.

Zalarkoff.

Welcome to San Juan Center.

My name is Zalarkoff.

What can I do for you?

How much did Mr. Leiker tell you on the phone?

Nothing. He just said you had a job, that's all.

I'm looking for a man and a woman.

The man's name is Reynolds.

The woman's name is Kingman.

When did they get in?

I don't know.

What do they look like?

The man is 35, dark, a banker.

The woman?

I don't know.

You're not much help, are you?

They're worth $5 ,000 to me.

A piece?

How soon can you get them?

Five thousand for the both.

Two weeks.

Five thousand for them both.

And I want them tonight.

Is the bureau here? Are you sure?

Positively, yes.

Dispense him here.

Inspector.

It's wonderful to see you again. Henry, thank you.

John Colby, Henry Galbraith. Henry. Very fast trip.

Any progress, Henry?

Yes, considerable.

Embarrassment of riches, almost.

They're here. The pictures came in from the bureau a few minutes ago.

We took them around to all the reservation counters, and the clerk at

identified them right away.

They booked space on a flight to Rio.

Leaving when?

2 a .m.

I've got agents at the luggage scales and the KBO gate as well as the

reservations window.

What about Burton?

No luck there at all.

Oh, but a girl at the car rental desk also recognized Reynolds and Miss

I was talking to her when you got here.

I wonder if you'd repeat to Inspector Erskine here what you were telling me

about these people.

Well, yes, of course.

I remember them very well. They came by about, oh, about 6 .30.

Well, I think it was about 6 .30.

Did he try to disguise himself in any way? A mustache or anything like that?

No, nothing.

And he wanted to rent a car?

Well, I suppose so. Although he was so rude, it was hard to tell.

He said the rates were too expensive, and then they left.

Oh, there was one other thing.

Yes? He asked for some change, and then he took a black attaché case and put it

in one of the deposit boxes over there.

Do you happen to remember which one?

No, I'm sorry.

All right, Miss Torres, thanks very much.

Interesting puzzle.

Yeah. Which one of these boxes has the two million?

No, no. I mean, why would he think of renting a car in the first place?

He was just going to be here a few hours.

What's wrong with a taxi?

Thanks. Oh, what is he doing in there? He said it would only take ten minutes.

Diez minutos, comprende?

Honey, let's go.

Not without those passports.

Now, look, you go in and you tell...

Now, maybe you can tell me what... Yeah.

Senora, listen to me, please.

If I knew where I could find French perfume at half price, I would tell you,

wouldn't I?

I just got your message.

Are they still there?

Yes. Both of them?

Yes, yes.

Hold them.

Please, be reasonable.

I cannot stop the world just because... Five minutes.

Me van a volver loco.

And, Munoz, maybe now you can tell me, what have you been doing in this thing?

Please, amigo, I'm trying my best.

Would you please sit down?

Just give me five minutes. Five minutes? Five minutes is a lot. Five minutes.

Please.

I'm sorry.

Why, I'm all right.

I should have left you in the car.

Oh, no. Where you go, mister, I go.

All the way.

You cold?

Yeah, crazy, isn't it?

Puerto Rico's supposed to be hot, and I'm colder than I've ever been in my

All right, you just wait until tomorrow, and you'll be stretched out there in

Copacabana.

What time is it? Will it take us long to get back to the airport?

We're not going back to the airport.

Why not?

Because if anyone does know that we're in San Juan, the FBI are...

Anybody, that's where they'll be expecting us to show up. That's where

be waiting.

I made sure that several people would remember us, be able to describe us.

What about our reservations?

We're leaving from a little field at Arecibo.

There's a plane to Georgetown, British Guiana.

Six o 'clock.

It's only a few miles from there to the Brazilian border.

Are you leaving the money behind?

but I saw you put the attache case in.

No, no, the money's in the trunk of the car now, in your grip.

I made the change in the men's room.

I don't know. I just can't get used to you thinking up things like that.

Larry, what's the matter?

I don't know.

There's no reason in the world it should take this long.

Give me the old one.

I'll go someplace else.

I'll be down in a moment.

I met him talk personally to every limousine and cab driver on the regular

airport shift.

No one recognized Reynolds or Miss Kingman from the photographs.

Of course, they might have been picked up by a private car.

Reynolds might have arranged to have a friend meet him.

But no one on duty outside recalls seeing him at all.

And that in itself seems a little odd, doesn't it?

Sir? Well, I mean considering how conspicuous they were in here and all

deliberate fuss they made.

It's almost as though Reynolds wanted to be sure we knew he'd be back, isn't it?

He certainly wouldn't leave the money behind.

Who says he has?

I just thought I saw him.

She saw a black attaché case, didn't she? And that's all she saw.

The downtown clubs and restaurants have been alerted.

No sign of them yet.

Excuse me, Miss Torres.

Oh, yes.

Miss Torres, did Reynolds ask about any other car rental agencies when he was

here? No.

Although... Although what?

Well, I was just going to say, he did ask if we had any booklets on driving

regulations or road conditions and that sort of thing.

Even though he wasn't going to rent a car?

Yes.

Suppose a man wanted to lease a car in advance.

Could he do that just by sending in a check? A certified check, yes.

That would speed up the paperwork and so forth.

Well, he would with our company. It's a new service.

Well, in that case, would he have to stop by here before picking up the car?

Not necessarily so.

Very often a client will tell us when he will be in, and we will have a car

waiting for him in the lot. Then he can just get the keys from the attendant and

leave.

I wonder, would you mind checking today's records for instructions like

Well, I already have.

There were no orders from anyone named Reynolds or Kingman.

What about orders from San Francisco under any name?

Reynolds could take off from.

Headed for Rio? No.

All the major lines depart from here.

What about unscheduled flights?

Well, there's a small private line, Adiosud.

They use property and planes fly out of Arecibo.

They carry freight mostly, a few passengers.

Do they go into Brazil?

No, but they often hit Georgetown.

They generally make island calls, stop at a few Venezuelan spots if there are

any freight consignments, and finish in the Guianas.

See what the schedule is for tonight, will you?

Inspector.

I'm sorry. There was just one order listed from San Francisco, and, well,

couldn't possibly be your man.

This gentleman was Japanese.

Mr. Yoshimura.

Look. Almost there. The car's just up the street.

It seems like we've been running in circles. We have.

I want to make sure that no one was following us.

Oh, Larry.

Sweetheart.

Sweetheart, we're almost there. Half a block.

Look, you can rest, Dad. I promise.

And think tomorrow.

Tomorrow, Copacabana, Shogolov, Ipanema.

Come on.

Half a block. Half a block. Come on.

Mr. Reynolds?

Good evening.

I've been looking for you all day long.

Put out an all -points bulletin, please.

And emphasize that the driver may be armed and should be approached with

caution.

The car is blue.

The 1968 sedan, license number 960987.

Burton, why would I lie to you now? Sure, I admit I thought of taking some

money, but there wasn't time.

So you just lit out about a suitcase or anything else? Our luggage is at the

airport. We're taking the 2 a .m. jet to Rio.

Reynolds, you owe a friend of mine $100 ,000.

When you give me that, then you take the jet. Burton, for the love of...

Larry? All right.

So you do have a couple of extra bucks put away.

Yes.

Where?

In the Natasha case back at the airport.

At the airport?

Well, it's in a safety deposit box.

Which one?

If you drive me there, just drive me there. I'll show you, all right?

Sit down.

But shut up.

Reynolds, you wouldn't be trying to set us up for a little fall, would you?

What do you mean?

By herding us into a public place like that and then calling the police over.

Burton, the police want me.

Me.

You wouldn't be doing this for the girl, would you?

Just to make sure the girl comes out safe.

I mean, that wouldn't be worth a jail sentence, would it?

Where's the money, miss?

It isn't at the airport, is it?

Reynolds, I'm going to kill this girl in the next three seconds if you don't

tell me where that money is.

Thank you.

It's there, all right.

Burton.

Give us a break.

Take half of it, take a minion, and let us go on.

To where?

Arecibo. We're booked on a flight to Georgetown.

Arecibo, where's Arecibo?

West of here.

It's nearly dawn.

You say you could still make it on time?

Yes.

All right.

Let's roll.

Yes, sir. There's a plane leaving for Montecito at 6 a .m., bound for

Port of Spain, and Georgetown.

They're holding space for two Americans, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Regan.

I've alerted the local police. They'll cover the airport and set up a

Samantha Reynolds.

We're on our way to Arecibo, aren't we?

We're on the way out of town.

You can get the job done without anybody hearing.

Burton, couldn't you?

Come on, man.

million dollars I think I'm entitled to at least one small request

don't make her watch me die

All right, thank you.

Closer than I thought. Hang on.

Beautiful countryside, senorita.

Don't you think?

Senorita.

Look behind us.

Burton, what do we do now?

What's that up ahead of us?

Take the next turn on the left.

Where's Beverly?

Wait, wait, just a minute, will you please?

Darling, how do you feel?

I wanted to go to the receiving hospital with you, but they wouldn't let me.

They told me about your broken arm.

Are we going back together?

I mean, will you be on the same flight too?

Yes.

I'm so sorry.

To put you through this for nothing.

It's all right. There could have been worse endings.

We're still alive.

Are you ready, Miss Kingman?

You know, it's almost funny, isn't it?

This time yesterday, I was in an apartment building in Boston getting

elope with a serious man in a conservative suit.

At least someone I thought was me was there.

That sentence doesn't make sense, does it?

Michael Burton did not recover from his wounds.

Eusebio Alarcon was tried in superior court of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico

and is serving a sentence for kidnapping.

Lawrence Reynolds was convicted of embezzlement and other violations of the

Federal Reserve Act.

He is also in federal prison.

Federal prosecution against Beverly Kingman was declined.
