There's a knife on your side. Just act
natural. You won't get hurt.

Why don't you take a little walk with me
around the corner?

It's your mistake.

Anything you say.

No.

Miss Thornton, have you seen Walker?

No, I haven't, Doctor. Is anything
wrong?

Well, he's ten minutes late for his
hour.

Maybe he's in the library.

Would you like me to check?

Yeah, would you please?

I'll just poke my head in the ward and
see if he's there.

Hey, what about the 15 cents the machine
owes me?

Mollet!

Did you

find

him?

No, doctor, I didn't.

Nurse, call the main guard station
immediately.

Tonight's episode, The Quest.

On the morning of October 14th, Walker
Graham Carr escaped from a mental

institution in Seneca, New York.

Carr had been a patient at the hospital
for nearly a year after being indicted

by a federal grand jury for the murder
of his wife and found incompetent to

stand trial.

Because the alleged murder had taken
place on a government reservation and

been investigated by the FBI, the Bureau
entered the case.

He's desperate and he's running, and the
Canadian border is less than 50 miles

away.

And there's always the possibility he
may head for Mount Vernon.

With the border so close?

Well, Carr has never been convinced he
murdered his wife.

The body's never been recovered.

The grand jury indicted him on strong
evidence before he was sent to the

hospital. We found a .45 automatic
registered in his name. Two shots had

fired. There were powder burns on his
hands.

Bloodstains in the house.

They'd been having marital troubles. The
neighbors even heard them arguing that

night. I know.

His mind was a complete blank covering
the time his wife was allegedly killed.

He swore he was innocent.

Maybe he still thinks that.

Maybe in his confused mind, he's decided
to try and find her.

You'd better alert the resident agent
covering Mount Vernon.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police and
the Border Patrol have been alerted, Mr.

Ward. Olu, the resident agent found this
in Walker Carr's hospital room.

It appeared in the New York Chronicle
five days ago.

Anyone having information leading to the
whereabouts of Barbara Carr, please

contact Austin Carr, Mount Vernon, New
York. Austin is Walker Carr's father.

Well, that could have triggered his
escape.

Well, his doctor ought to be able to
give us more information. I can see him,

Art. Just find him fast, Lewis, before
he harms himself or anyone else.

Where are you headed?

New York City.

Well, I can get you down the road a
little ways.

At least as far as Albany.

Ordinarily, I don't pick up too many
hitchhikers, but you can usually tell

people the way they look.

I mean, I'm a salesman.

I'm going to be able to size up people
real fast.

I'll tell you something funny.

I knew I was going to pick you up the
minute I saw you.

I just had that feeling, you know?

No, thanks.

You get pretty sharp about people when
you've been around them as much as I

have. We interrupt this program for a
special news announcement.

At 11 a .m. this morning, Walker Carr,
inmate at the Seneca Mental Facility,

escaped. He had been indicted for the
murder of his wife and reportedly

possesses a handmade knife.

Walker Carr is considered extremely
dangerous.

He is believed to be wearing dark brown
pants and matching jacket with the

insignia of J and L vending above the
left breast pocket.

Anyone knowing this man's whereabouts is
urgently requested to contact the FBI.

This has been a special news
announcement. Mister.

Stay tuned for further details. Turn
left up there.

Please, Mr. Ryan, I got a family.

Take the card.

Take anything, only please don't hurt
me.

You see, the difficulty with people like
Walker is that you can't form a

relationship with him.

You can get so close, and bang, a steel
curtain descends, and you can't get

beyond it.

Where did the curtain come down in his
case?

The time surrounding his wife's alleged
murder and her disappearance.

He simply has no recollection of what
took place during those few hours that

evening. But that's not uncommon.

People who have undergone some trauma
tend to shove the events leading up to

out of sight.

But can they keep this out of sight,
Doctor?

Not really.

Because whatever it is they're trying to
repress usually has a habit of popping

back up again and making trouble.

What kind of trouble?

Well, that's hard to say.

In Walker's present condition, do you
consider him dangerous?

Perhaps desperate would be a better
word.

A moment ago...

He spoke of his wife's disappearance.

Now, Doctor, is it possible he didn't
murder his wife?

I mean, that something else could have
induced the hysteria you spoke of?

Yes, Inspector, that is possible.

I think I'll quit while I'm ahead.

Walker.

What are you doing here?

The FBI has already been to see me.

What did you tell them?

The truth, that I didn't know where you
were.

You didn't say anything about the guy
that answered the ad you put in the

So that's why you're here. I never
should have told you. I never should

you talk me into it.

You've seen Barbara, hasn't he?

Yes.

Dad, I want to talk to him.

Walker, give yourself up.

Let me handle it.

No, I can't do that.

Why can't you trust me?

Maybe because you never trusted me.

That's not fair.

Oh, come on, Dad. You made every
important decision in my life, and you

Well, maybe I did hold the reins a
little tight, but you, you, you had

everything you wanted. I had everything
you wanted me to have.

Look, you'd only shown some little sign
of appreciation. It lit up the sky.

Appreciation for what? My childhood?

I mean, you've got some great memories
of that. You know, like standing in the

judges' chambers with everybody deciding
who was going to get custody of me. Is

that what you're talking about?

Oh, for heaven's sake, Walker, don't dig
up the past. We both, both made

mistakes.

Dad, I don't know. Maybe I... Maybe I
did kill Barbara. I just don't know

anymore. I mean, there's been... So much
has happened. So many... I just don't

know.

I cannot believe a son of mine is a
murderer.

All right, how'd you leave it with this
man?

His name is Hauser, Joseph Hauser. We're
supposed to meet tonight at nine at a

bar here in Mount Vernon.

Ernie's on seventh.

He said he'd be at the end of the bar,
nearest the stairs.

Barbara's alive. I'll find her.

Walker, you can't go.

Dad, please, I can handle it.

You'll be picked up.

Look, just leave me alone, will you,
please, Dad? Just stay out of it.

Walker!

I'm sorry, Father, but you're not going
to brainwash me anymore.

All right.

But when you run out of options, don't
come back to me for help.

I'll tell you something funny.

I knew he was in trouble the minute he
opened the door. I just had that

You know what I mean? Well, when you
deal with people as much as I do, you

size them up in a flash.

Is this the man you picked up?

Yes. Where was it?

About ten miles out of Seneca.

Did he tell you where he was headed?

New York City.

You're sure it was New York City? Oh,
absolutely.

Did he take anything else from you
besides your gun?

Just my car and my sample cases.

I don't know how I will ever replace
those sample cases.

My whole new line of men's sportswear.

What am I complaining about?

I'm lucky to be alive.

Can you give us a list and description
of the clothing in your sample cases?

Oh, yes, that's no problem.

Hello?

Thanks, Mr. Newman.

Just got a call from the state police.

They found the van abandoned about ten
miles outside of Seneca.

Walker Carr's prints are all over it.

Dan, have your secretary make
reservations. We're going to Mount

Hauser? Yeah?

My father said you had some information
for me.

I... I thought I'd be dealing with him.

Look, why don't we grab a table? It'll
be a little easier to talk.

You from Mount Vernon?

Yonkers. I drive in my cab here.

Have you seen my wife?

Yes, I've seen her.

How do you know? How can you be sure?

It's a car.

I used to drive your wife to the train
station whenever she went to New York.

Once or twice a week.

It was her, all right.

Hauser, I want you to take me to her.

It's not that simple.

Why not?

I'm taking a risk just telling you about
this.

What do you mean a risk? What are you
talking about?

I knew it was her as soon as I saw her.

I hung around for a while just to make
sure.

I guess I wasn't too smart because when
I went up to her later, I find a gun in

my ribs.

If you want to stay alive, the guy says,
you'll forget about this.

I looked in your wife's eyes, Mr. Carr.

If I live to be 100, I'll never forget
the fear on her face.

Wait till this... Wait till this
happens.

It's not that easy.

You're lying to me, aren't you?

No.

I swear.

I even got a picture of her.

My kid's camera was in the cab.

I know what you're thinking, Mr. Carr.

But I'm no crook.

Ask anybody about Joe Hauser.

What do you want? What is it you want,
Joe?

I got bronchial asthma, real bad.

The doctor says go to Colorado, to a
sanitarium.

Get out of New York or you're gonna die.

He tells my wife.

She cried all night.

Tells me to go to Colorado.

With what?

It's not easy, is it, Mr. Carr?

How much?

$10 ,000.

Miss, bring me another scotch.

I haven't got that kind of money.

Your father's got plenty of money.

Hauser, I got a gun.

Look, I want to help you.

But I got to get something out of this.

Kill me.

You're never going to find her.

Okay.

I'll get you mine.

How do I... How do I reach you?

I'll be in touch with you.

Walker has no brothers or sisters, but
we've talked to former neighbors and

friends.

Nobody's seen him since his escape.

Apparently, his only relative in Mount
Vernon is his father.

Has his father changed his attitude, or
does he still think his son is innocent?

No, he's still convinced Walker
shouldn't have been indicted in the

Well, he knows how dangerous he is,
doesn't he?

He won't believe it's true.

Happy birthday, darling.

Aren't you going to open your presents,
Daddy? Sure I am, just as soon as we

have our cake.

I'll get it, dear.

Hello, Blair.

Walker.

Can I come in?

Sure, come in.

Walker!

Hey, Mindy.

Walker.

How are you?

Hey, Susie.

Can we talk?

Sure.

Ferret, take the children in the other
room to watch TV while we talk, okay?

Okay. Let's see what's on.

Won't we get help from the president? We
will in a minute, darling. We don't

have to stand.

Well, listen, I... Buddy, I need some
money.

Well, sure.

How much?

Ten thousand dollars.

Can you get it?

Can't you go to your father?

No.

Blair, I need it.

Can I ask what it's for?

Somebody's seen Barbara.

What?

Oh, Blair, she's alive.

This guy's going to take me to her.

She's in some kind of trouble.

Well, son, I'm not surprised.

When do you need it?

Today.

Oh.

Walker, wow.

Don't turn your back on me, buddy.

Hey, easy. I'm going to do what I can.

Yes,

he's here right now.

Please, I'm so frightened. Come as
quickly as you can.

Just be calm, ma 'am. We can have a car
there in a minute. Don't do anything to

upset him.

Oh, Sarah, you shouldn't have done that.

I'm sorry, Walker. I was frightened.

Why? The children.

I was scared.

You think I'm insane?

I don't know what to think anymore.

I was afraid to take a chance.

But you were going to testify for me at
the trial.

We've known each other all our lives.

I had to protect the children.

Walker, I'm sorry.

It never occurred to me that Sarah was
calling the police. I'm not blaming her,

but, you see, I think Walker's innocent.

I mean, I believe that Barbara is alive.

Oh, I know it sounds crazy, but you'd
have to know Barbara the way we did.

What was she like?

We used to get together for lunch once
in a while just to get out of the house.

And Barbara?

It was just like she was always
auditioning for a part or something.

She really put on a show.

She just couldn't help from flirting, I
guess.

I suppose it wasn't serious, but I just
stopped going out with her.

She was just the opposite of Walker.
Walker was kind of a square, but Barbara

a real kook.

There's no telling the kind of mess she
could have gotten herself in.

You believe these flirtations were the
reason for their separation, Mrs. Evans?

She just told me she couldn't cope with
Walker anymore, that he had too many

problems. Yeah, that's what Barbara
would say.

Lord knows everybody's got problems.

Walker had his good days and his bad
days, just like everybody else.

But I worked alongside the man for seven
years, and his problems were no worse

than anybody else's.

You mentioned he needed money.

$10 ,000, I believe.

Did he say why?

Yeah, he said that somebody had seen Bob
or something about her being in

trouble. He didn't happen to refer to
this person by name?

No. Anything about him at all?

No.

Where do you think Walker might go next
in order to raise $10 ,000?

I don't know.

Maybe his father.

I don't think so.

They didn't hit it off Walker.

Well, it would kill him if he had to go
to his father for money.

All right, thanks very much.

If he should try to contact you, you'll
keep us informed, won't you?

I did the right thing, didn't I,
Inspector?

Yes, Mrs. Evans, you did.

Chet, how many people could he turn to
at a time like this?

There are several others.

We'll get some agents on it right away.
I'm going to have another talk with Mr.

Carr.

Hello? Dad, it's me. Don't hang up.

Walker, are you all right?

Yeah.

Walker, I've been worried since our
meeting. I... Did you... Did you see

him?

Yes.

Well, I... I better call a private
detective and have him checked out.

You just can't help yourself, can you? I
mean, you just always have to try to

take over, don't you?

Walker, why can't you learn to trust me?

It's not easy for me either, Dad.

I mean, I'm trying, but... You know what
I keep thinking? I keep thinking about

when Barbara left me. Remember how I
came to you? I said, Dad, I think I need

some help. I might need a doctor. I feel
lost. Remember what you said to me?

You said, why don't you shape up,
Walker?

You're weak. Why don't you... You're
just feeling sorry for yourself. You

remember that?

Walker, I... I know I've made some
mistakes.

And I may have seemed unfeeling.

Now, listen to me.

Barbara's in some kind of trouble. I
don't know what it is yet, but Hauser

where she is.

What did he say, where?

No, no, he wants money.

How much?

$10 ,000.

Walker!

Now, I know what you're thinking, Dad,
but I've seen a picture of Barbara.

I mean, Hauser has a picture of her.

In a couple of hours, I can clear this
whole thing up. But you just have to

trust me, Dad. You just have to trust me
once.

And you, uh...

You can't come here. It isn't safe.

Go to Wendell.

I'll call him and tell him to get the
money.

All right, fine.

Dad, listen.

Listen, you better not tell Wendell it's
for me, all right? I mean, don't tell

him I'll be picking it up.

I do care for you, Walker.

Whatever else you may think about me, I
do care for you.

Yeah, Dad, I... Yeah, I believe you.

Mr.

Carr, this is Inspector Erskine. I'm Mr.
Colby.

I've already told Mr.

Randolph everything I have to say.

Mr. Carr, did you place this ad in the
New York Chronicle?

Yes, I did.

Did you discuss any response to it when
you visited your son the day before his

escape?

Have you heard from him since then?

Inspector, you will have to see my
attorney if you want any further

Mr. Carr, if he should try to get in
touch with his mother, would he know

to find her?

She deserted us both 28 years ago. There
was an ugly divorce.

I did everything I could to keep Walker
out of it. He was only eight at the

time. He's never seen her since.

I'm sure that has a lot to do with what
is happening today.

I see.

Well, if he does get in touch with you,
will you contact him?

I'm not sure I could do that, Inspector.

Oh, Mr. Carr, you realize that it's
against the law to harbor your son.

He's assaulted several people. He's
armed.

The most help you could give him right
now is to help us.

Gentlemen, I have nothing further to
say.

We'll see ourselves out. Thank you.

I want you under surveillance
immediately.

Thank you.

Hello, Wendell.

Walker.

Where's your father?

That money's for me.

No. No, I can't be a party to this.
Wendell, Barbara's alive.

Why don't we call in the FBI?

No, just give me the money.

Wendell, you don't understand.

Somebody knows where she is. I've even
seen a picture of her.

Pictures can be faked.

When you put an ad like that in the
papers, it's like an open invitation for

every con man in New York.

Is that what you think he is?

Walker, I've been a practicing attorney
for 20 years.

Why can't you benefit from some of my
experience?

You never believed I was innocent, did
you?

No one can fault the way I handled your
case.

The evidence the FBI developed...
Walker, don't do this.

Let me call them.

Why are you so anxious for me to give
myself up?

When Barbara left me, she came to see
you.

You were going to handle the divorce,
weren't you?

I spoke to her, if that's what you mean.
I bet you spoke to her. Walker, I'm not

going to listen to any more of this.

Why don't you give me the money?

I'm going to call the FBI. It's best for
you.

She'll do that. Now put the phone down,
Wendell.

Put it down.

Put away the gun, Walker.

Yes.

This is Wendell Pricker speaking.

Walker's got the money.

He's going to meet someone.

Who?

He didn't say.

Somebody who's seen Barbara.

Mr. Bricker, how did he know you'd have
the money?

Austin called.

My locked -in car began to face reality.

How's I got your money?

Where is she?

She works at the information booth at
the Westchester County Fair.

You can't miss it.

I got it written all down for you.

Okay.

Take me to her.

I can't do that.

I'm on duty, but I'll be off at three.

No, I want to go now.

Come on. Be reasonable, Mr. Carr. I told
you what you wanted to know.

How's Wendell?

Well, it's serious.

The doctors say he has a good chance.

I just can't believe it.

Mr. Carr, you have been in contact with
your son.

You can help us find him.

Unless you do, there may not be another
chance.

Mr. Carr, couldn't you put that gun
away?

Well, there were a lot of crank calls,
but Hauser said he had a picture

of Barbara.

Did you ever see it?

No, but when I spoke to Walker, he said
he had.

Did Walker mention where they were going
to meet?

Do you know how to get in touch with
Hauser?

No.

When he called me, there was a voice in
the background. Sounded like someone

giving numbers and addresses.

There were a lot of other voices with a
lot of static.

Radio static.

Could it have been a dispatcher?

A taxi dispatcher?

Yes.

Yes, sir. That's possible.

Mr. Kerr, may I use your telephone?

Of course.

Thank you.

Lou, this is Joe Hauser at the Arrow Cab
Company. They're trying to locate him

now.

We'll be in touch with you, Mr. Carr.

Dispatcher to 37, what's your present
location?

Repeat, what's your location?

Turn that thing off.

Dispatcher to 37.

I said turn it off.

All right, where is she?

It's still early, Mr. Carr.

The fair's not open yet.

You mean she's been here at the fair all
this time?

I guess so.

But you don't need that gun.

Because I'm not going to any place.

Mr. Godley.

NY14. NY14, go ahead.

Stand by.

Lou, we just got a call from the Arrow
cab dispatcher.

They picked up conversation on an open
mic from Hauser's cab.

From the sound of it, Walker may be
holding Hauser hostage.

Did you get a location?

Hauser mentioned a fair.

The only fair around here is the
Westchester County Fair.

It's not open yet, but take the
Cedarbrook turnoff at Hutchinson River

Right. Send some more units. NY -14 out.

You know what I think, Hauser?

I think you made this whole thing up.

No. No, Mr. Carr. It was all a lie,
wasn't it? No, I swear it's the truth.

seen her.

Hauser, you're lying to me, aren't you?

Aren't you? There she is.

Give me the key.

Barbara? Can I help you?

You're not... You're not Barbara.

No.

There's no Barbara here.

No, maybe... Maybe if you tell me who
you want, I can... I can have her pages

something.

How's the cab all right?

Where is he, Hauser?

I don't know.

Where are they holding her? I don't
know.

I swear I don't know. It was all a con.

You're lying.

No.

I don't even want the money. Take it.
No.

No. She's in trouble and you won't tell
me where she is. Where is she? I made it

all up.

You're lying.

I had to tell you something.

All I wanted.

All I wanted was money.

You're lying.

Walker.

This is the FBI.

Put down your gun.

He knows where she is and he won't tell
me.

He doesn't.

Now put the gun down.

Until he tells me where Barbara is.

Where is she?

He doesn't know.

Can't you understand?

Walker.

Walker.

You're the only one who knows what
happened.

She wasn't there.

Yes, you were.

It was 8 .30 at night.

No.

No.

No, she... She wouldn't open the door.

And... And then...

And then she came out and she was... She
was dressed for a date.

And she... No, no.

Now, we were back in the room.

And I was... I was pleading with her.

But she was... She was fighting, but...

But... And then I...

I could see that she hated me.

It hit me.

I'd never seen that look before.

I wanted to go away.

I just wanted... I heard

a

gun firing a long way off.

And Barbara was gone.

I'm going to open my eyes.

He was on the floor.

And the gun was in my hand.

He wanted so desperately to believe he
didn't kill Barbara that he'd grab at

ray of hope, anything to avoid accepting
the reality of what he'd done.

What do you think his prospects are?

Well, that's hard to say.

But that steel curtain I talked to you
about before has been lifted.

Real progress will start now.

Excuse me.

Yes.

We'll be right out.

You know, two months ago, he couldn't
stay in the same room with his father

more than five minutes.

And now, for the first time, they're
learning to defend on each other, to

each other.

Doctor, will I be able to see him again?

Of course.

I'm sorry, Inspector. I guess I didn't
make your job any easier.

The doctor seems very optimistic.

I realize, Inspector, that when Walker
recovers, he'll have to stand trial to

face the responsibility for his actions.

And I realize, too, that I'm not free of
guilt either.

But there are degrees of guilt, aren't
there, Inspector?

Additional investigation by the FBI
resulted in the discovery of Barbara

remains. Walker Graham Carr was returned
to a mental institution until found

competent to stand trial.

Joseph Hauser was convicted of obtaining
money under false pretenses.
