Tonight's episode, Fatal Imposter.

On October 10th, one of two fugitives wanted in Iowa had been wounded in a

shootout with sheriff's deputies and rushed to a nearby hospital in Bismarck,

North Dakota.

The FBI entered the case under the provisions of the unlawful flight

Resident agent John Dennison, in cooperation with local authorities,

launched an intensive search for the wounded man's accomplice.

We've got roadblocks out, a description out, every available man in the field.

So far, we've drawn a complete blank. We don't even know who the second man is.

What about this Davis? Were you able to talk to him before they took him to

surgery? No, he was almost unconscious.

Incoherent. The doctor said he'd let us know, though.

What about the car? Any latents?

Yes, Inspector.

The identification division has them by now, but we don't know what we have yet.

All right, see what you can find out about his known associates.

And, John, let's move quickly on this before someone else gets killed.

We've still got a lot of driving to do.

Well, it's been a ball.

I bet Clarion's going to be even more fun.

Boy, it sure is ugly.

Give it a chance, Larry.

We're not even there yet.

I know.

I'm sorry, Mom.

What's it like in Clarion?

Well, I always thought that it was the prettiest spot in the world where

everyone has the time to say good morning and how are you and really mean

And at night, it is so quiet.

You can even see the Milky Way.

The happiest years of my life, I think, were growing up in Clarion.

Looking at the Milky Way.

How are we?

No, Billy.

You'll have plenty to do.

Some movie.

A couple of restaurants.

Just about everything except the noise and the pressure of the city.

Well, she'll be happy there.

beat. Can I drive now?

Honey, you've never driven on a highway before.

Driven in the city. What's so different?

You have the rest of your life to drive a car.

Why are you in such a hurry to grow up?

Mom, I'm not a baby anymore.

Can't you understand that?

Well, of course I can, honey. It's just that, well, I just feel better driving

myself.

Don't scream. You won't get hurt.

Okay, get the car started.

Get moving.

Yes, Arthur.

Lewis, the latent prints give us a positive identification on Davis'

His name is Victor Kiley.

Two prior convictions for armed robbery and assault.

There's an arrest record dating back to when he was 16.

Where was he last arrested?

In Las Vegas, two months ago.

Drunk driving charge.

He had a girl with him known as Lorraine Wyatt.

Agents are trying to locate her now.

Good, let me know.

Well, we'll put out a... wanted flyer on him and see what that turns up.

All right.

Outside.

I'm just going to make a phone call. I'll feel better if he's along with me.

Let my mom go, please.

I'll stay with you if that's what you want.

How old are you, 18?

No, 16.

You know something? You've got guts, and that's a good thing for a man to have.

Don't move.

He's dead.

Don't hurt him.

Please don't hurt him.

Hey, buddy.

All right, get in the back.

Get in there!

Get moving.

It's hard to believe he could have slipped out of the area.

We've had every bus station, the airport, railroad terminal covered long

Kylie could have reached them.

Because he could have slipped through before you got the roadblocks in.

We just got some word on Lorraine Wyatt, Lou.

We located his sister in Las Vegas. She said that Lorraine had moved to

Minneapolis about three months ago.

Minneapolis? And she got that address?

No, the only thing the sister knew is that Lorraine had taken a job as a

at a downtown bar someplace. We're canvassing the area now.

You better get right up there, Tom, in case he turns through for help.

All right, love.

Now keep in touch.

Look, what do you want from us?

You can have the car.

You... I'm not gonna hurt you.

As soon as we get out of this area, away from the cops, I'm gonna turn you

loose.

Just relax, you understand?

I'm your brother.

We're driving to the West Coast.

You do a good job, you'll be okay.

You try anything, you'll be the first one to get it.

Just what do they want you for?

Murder.

Come on, try and look a little happier, both of you.

Just a routine check, ma 'am.

May I see your identification, sir?

Trouble, officer?

I hope social security and credit cards are okay.

driver's license?

I do all the driving, officer.

My brother's in well.

Okay, folks.

Sorry to inconvenience you.

Oh, by the way, if you see a hitchhiker, notify the police.

We'll appreciate it.

Hey, hey.

Pull over.

How long have you been driving?

I don't know.

Maybe ten hours or so.

Can you drive, Larry?

Do you have a license?

He's never driven on a highway like this Well, it's the first time for

everything please I can drive Get in the front seat Larry

Late model gray Fairlane.

Didn't get the license.

The description of the man he gave himself, it's Kylie for sure.

Hmm. And what about the bloodstains in the booth?

Definitely not his.

They were there when he called the police.

Must have to be Kylie's end of the night.

Looks like maybe one of the deputies hit him after all.

John, you better alert the medical authorities in the area. Give them a

of the situation.

It's going to be rough.

If he intends to use the woman and the boy as hostages.

Oh, Eunice, use extreme caution. We don't want either one of them hurt.

I was all right, wasn't I?

You were just fine.

See, Mom?

At least he's got faith in me.

You said that you were going to let us go.

I know what I said.

All right.

But there's something that you should know.

I'm expected in Clarion in two hours.

And if I don't show up... And you just reminded yourself, huh?

All right, where's your appointment?

At a real estate broker's office.

I worried ahead last night to say I'd be there by three.

I'm not trying to trick you.

My grandfather died a couple of months ago and left me his farm.

I was raised there and I'm going back.

You decided to leave your husband at home, eh?

My husband died nearly two years ago.

Such a waste.

Yes.

I'm like you.

looking woman. How come you're not married again?

Oh, he's the reason, eh?

Well, he's not going to be around much longer.

I peeled out on my old man.

Before I was his age, of course, in my case, I didn't have any choice.

Cops were after me, but I'd have done it anyway.

Well, Larry wants to stay with me.

You like keeping him, don't you?

Well, sooner or later, he's going to bust out on you. You can't keep him

on that farm with you forever.

Buried?

Slow down.

What are you going to do? Pull into the gas station over there.

I want you to go in that drugstore.

Get bandages and painkillers, anything you can get without a prescription.

Don't be too long, you hear?

Fill it up, man.

Yeah, we passed him through about 20 minutes ago.

Gray Fairlane, Massachusetts license.

Woman said the guy with him was her brother.

According to his identification, he was Wallace James.

All right, Sergeant, you can take the roadblock down.

James is a truck driver, highly robbed outside of River Falls.

Inspector!

Quick to blame yourself, Sergeant. There's no way you could have known.

A pharmacist in Sheridan reported he sold a woman some bandages, antiseptics,

and painkillers. He saw her drive off in a great fair lane. It's only about 20

minutes from here.

Notify all units in vicinity.

Ouch. I'm sorry.

Just finish it.

How did you get that?

Was it the man you murdered?

No.

Everything went sour right from the start. My partner and I, we... How long

you think that you can keep running with this?

Why don't you just give yourself up?

You're a great one for giving up, aren't you?

Larry's coming with me.

Be back in a few minutes.

Where did you disappear to?

I got no time. Just listen.

Cock trouble, Vic?

You said this one was going to be such a breeze.

I said I got no time.

I need your help, Lorraine.

What happened?

Never mind. I want you to get hold of Eddie Ortega.

See if he'll fly both of us to Canada in his plane. If he's willing, I can meet

you at the airfield by dark.

I don't know, Vic.

I'm hurt, Lorraine. You understand?

I'm counting on you.

Okay.

Okay, but give me some time to contact Ortega.

I'll give you three hours.

Call me back at exactly 4 .15.

My number is 701 -KL5 -4110.

It's long distance, but dial direct.

Write it down, will you?

You come through, you won't regret it.

How far is that farm of yours?

About a 20 -minute drive from here.

Okay, we're going to hold up there for the next two hours.

Come on, get going.

They're going to stop for gas here.

Excuse me.

We're with the FBI.

I wonder if you could help us.

I believe a woman in a gray four -door stopped here for gas.

She had a man and a boy with her.

What about them?

Did they ask directions or give you any idea where they were going?

Just filled up and went.

Who paid for the gas?

The woman.

Cash or charge?

Credit card.

I wonder if I could see the slip, please.

and asked the Boston novice to check on a man, Wentworth.

Massachusetts license plate 609634.

Maybe a friend knows where they were going.

Bye, Inspector.

Oh, Ann, this is Wentworth.

I forgot to tell you.

The phone isn't connected yet.

I'll take care of it, Mr. Joseph. Thank you.

How'd you explain me?

I told him that you were my husband.

Don't worry. Nobody around here knows that he's dead.

You'll be perfectly safe.

You promised that you'll leave when it's time for you to go and get your call.

Yep.

Then you'll be all along with your problems.

never guess who just got back into town.

Your old girlfriend, Ann Foster.

Is that right?

Well, I might go by her place later on.

Say hello for old time's sake.

Mm -hmm. Lorraine Wyatt?

Mm -hmm.

FBI.

My name is Tom Colby. This is Special Agent Stanley.

May we come in?

Well, I'll tell you anything about my age.

Promise not to ask.

I want to talk to you about Victor Kiley.

Uh -huh.

Has he been in contact with you lately?

Uh -uh.

Miss Wyatt, he's in pretty serious trouble.

Tried to avoid capture and he took two hostages.

A 16 -year -old boy and his mother.

Well, I'm sorry. I can't help you.

Can't or won't.

Kylie's already killed one man.

I'm sorry. I don't know anything about it.

What do you owe Kylie?

Now, why don't you please go?

If something happens to them, you can help us and don't.

You have a lot of people to answer to, including yourself.

He won't harm them.

You're sure?

What if he were your boy?

I'm sorry.

I know how disappointed you must have been.

It'll be okay once we get a coat of paint on it.

It's all so different.

It isn't the way that I remember it at all.

It never is.

Here, put this on.

Oh, I don't need it, Mom.

Larry, please. Mom, I don't need it.

You don't give them much room, do you?

You just stay out of our lives, do you hear?

Start tearing that up.

I'm going to tie you both up and go get my phone call.

You're lucky you won't ever see me again.

That's the sheriff's car.

If he comes in, get rid of him.

He's not much, am I?

Jerry. Jerry Stevens.

Uh... Oh, sorry, Jerry. No, it's... I guess I just wasn't expecting anybody.

I brought you some groceries. I figured you might not have stopped.

Thank you.

I'll take them. Oh, it's no trouble at all. It isn't every day that Ann Foster

comes back to town.

Jerry, uh... My... My husband and son are asleep.

We drove all night and... Yeah, well, I won't make a sound. I'll be right back.

Fifteen years, Ann.

On you, it doesn't show.

Are you happy?

Look, Jerry, I know that you'd love to talk, but to tell you the truth, I'm...

Sure, sure, you're tired.

Look, what about tomorrow night?

Could I buy you and your husband some dinner or something? I'd sure like to

him. Jerry, please, I'll call you.

I'm sorry, I'm just exhausted.

It's all right.

No need to apologize.

You know, I... I sure never thought that you'd come back.

There is so much here when you get right down to it.

Why did you come home?

I guess I just thought it would be more peaceful here.

What's he doing?

How am I going to get to that phone booth on time?

Well, you could drive right past him.

He doesn't know what my husband looks like.

He might know me if they have my picture.

Are you sure this is the number he gave you?

Vic? This is Inspector Erskine. Would you put Mr. Colby on, please?

Yellow. Tommy hasn't shown up.

Have you set up surveillance at the airport where Ortega keeps his plane?

Yes, sir. It's covered.

Good.

Tell her if Carly calls again to say Ortega's agreed to fly him out.

and wants him to get to the airfield as soon as possible.

Yes, sir.

I couldn't get to the phone booth.

Are you all right, honey?

What about Ortega?

Well, you know, we're in luck.

I mean, he says you can have whatever you want.

Plane's ready and waiting.

And what else?

What do you mean, what else, baby?

How much it gonna cost me?

How much money did he ask you for, Lorraine?

Well, Vic, he, uh, he didn't say anything about money.

You're setting me up, aren't you?

Ortega wouldn't talk to you without naming a price.

Vic, I swear it. You sold me out, you little...

Inspector?

All right, Tom, get back here as soon as possible.

Let the agents there take over.

Teletack just came in from the Boston office on Ann Wentworth.

According to neighbors, she left town five days ago, headed for Clarion.

Where's that?

We can drive there in less than half an hour.

Let's go.

It's no use. I can't break them.

It's all right.

Somebody's bound to come by.

Mom, when this is all over, we're not going to stay here, are we?

I don't know.

Maybe it was a mistake to come back.

I don't know what I expected, but I guess people really can't go backwards.

When your father died, I couldn't face the future.

I was afraid, I suppose.

So I tried to stop everything.

Including you.

If I get out of line, you just remind me that you're a young man now.

And not my little boy anymore.

That's what I've been trying to tell you, Mom.

Why did you come back?

You promised.

You're driving me to Canada.

You'll bleed to death before you're halfway there.

I'll make it.

I put the bandages in the kitchen. Go on, get them.

You're not going to do this to us again.

Won't I?

I could have gotten her killed, you know that?

I'll bet you anything Kylie had a gun on us the whole time I was talking to her.

That's why she was so nervous.

Where is the house?

If you're thinking of going in there, Inspector, I'd forget about it. That

farm's pretty isolated.

Kylie'd see us coming for a good hundred yards.

Well, I'll have to find another way then.

I've never seen him before.

Good afternoon, Ms. Wentworth. I'm Louis Erskine of Hodges & Erskine Real

Estate. May I come in?

I'm afraid that this is... You know, we've been interested in this property

quite some time. I thought you might reconsider selling it.

Oh.

Quite a place you have here.

I'll just need a few minutes of your time. I'm sure you won't regret it.

I have to understand, I'm just not interested.

Yes, well, people usually aren't. That's why we like to point out all the

advantages.

Looks like you just walked into something, Charlie.

I'm with the FBI, Carly.

Get rid of the gun or I'll kill him, you understand?

There are a dozen men out there.

Unless you call them off and give me a clear path out, he's dead.

I got nothing left to lose.

Unit 1 to Unit 3.

Unit 1 to Unit 3, come in.

Unit 3, go ahead.

Kylie's got the boy, John.

He's gonna be driving out with him.

Let him through.

All right, Inspector.

I'll give the order.

Get in.

No, no more.

Look, Larry, don't make me do something... I'm not going!

I had to try to get out. You understand?

I want

to

thank you, Inspector.

Quite a boy you have there, Mrs. Wentworth.

I know.

I've just begun to realize that.

Will you be staying on here?

I'm not sure.

I think that that's something that Larry and I are going to have to talk about.

We're just going to have to feel our way.

Rick Davis recovered from his wound.

and with Victor Kiley was convicted in state court of armed robbery and murder.

Kiley was later tried separately on kidnapping charges and sentenced to life

imprisonment.
