It's got to be coming out pretty soon.

There they are.

Oh, good.

Go on home. I'll handle them.

How about a statement, Mr. Breen?

Don't have anything to say.

Over here, George.

How do you feel about your forthcoming trial? Just a moment, ladies and

gentlemen. I have a statement for you.

As Mr. Breen's attorney, I must confess I was shocked and appalled.

That my client is to be tried for conspiracy to defraud the government.

This entire procedure is an inexcusable example of harassment by the federal

government. It's a meaningless waste of the taxpayer's money. What about Mr.

Green's connections with La Cosa Nostra?

What connections?

That's nonsense.

George Green is a successful and reputable certified public accountant.

His services are sought after by many large and reputable corporations doing

business with the government.

If La Cosa Nostra.

has any interest in those companies, I assure you, George Green knows nothing

about it.

Then why is the government bringing your clients to trial? I suggest you ask the

government prosecutor.

Tonight.

Here's your car fare, George.

$35 ,000.

Al, I can't tell you how much I appreciate this.

Forget it, kid.

It's the best thing to do for you, for me, the whole organization.

Bill, I know you're sticking your neck out.

Yeah, that's right.

If they make this case against you, Dick, they're one step closer to me.

They know that I'm the one that's pulling the corporate strings.

But without you, they can't prove a thing.

Now, uh, here's the...

A list of your contacts.

Here's your new passport.

You go by private plane to Portland and by boat to Vancouver.

Does Mr. Frost know I'm jumping, Dale?

Not yet. I haven't been able to reach him.

Shouldn't he know, Al?

George, he knows that you can't bluff your way through a whole trial. He'll be

glad you're gone.

Still, I think he should know.

George, you're my wife's cousin. That makes you part of the family. Now,

my responsibility, okay?

By the way, how's Peggy?

How's she taking it?

A lot better than I am.

I hate to leave her, Al.

Between Doris and I, she won't have a chance to worry about you.

As a matter of fact, she can even move in with us till the baby comes.

I mean, after all, what's her family for?

Huh? Like brothers, right?

Hey.

What about Mr. Green's connections with La Cosa Nostra?

What connections?

That's sheer nonsense.

George Breen is a successful and reputable certified public accountant.

His services are sought after by many large and reputable corporations doing

business with the government.

If the Cosa Nostra has any interest in those companies, I assure you, George

Breen knows nothing about it. Then why is the government bringing your client

trial? I suggest you ask the government prosecutor.

George, the car's here.

I'll be right there.

Peg, look, you know I don't want to leave you here. You know that. Yes, but

you said, it's the only intelligent way.

That's right.

The trip, well, it may be dangerous. It could be the worst possible thing for

you and a baby.

Now you go, please.

I've arranged everything with Doris and Alec. You need anything, anything at

all. George, please go before I start making a fool of myself.

I'll call for you as soon as it's safe.

You and the baby.

This is ridiculous.

I can't go without you.

George, I can be packed in five minutes.

Then do it. Go on, hurry.

The FBI.

A Quinn Martin production.

Starring Ephraim Zimbalist Jr.

Also starring Philip Abbott, William Reynolds, with guest stars

James Olsen, Linda Marsh,

Marge Redmond, and special guest star Harry Gardino.

Tonight's episode, Escape to Terror.

On the morning of October 7th, George Green failed to appear for trial in U

District Court, Reno, Nevada.

A bench warrant was immediately issued for his arrest, and the FBI started a

search for the missing fugitive.

How far west did the storm spread?

Well, the weather bureau said it covered most of Nevada, northern California,

and Oregon.

Any decrease in air traffic?

Just a couple of commercial jets got off before the storm really hit, but no one

matching the Breen's description was on any of them as far as we know.

What about private planes?

Oh, most of them are grounded.

Well, we checked the train and bus depots, Lou. No luck.

Breen's car is still in his garage.

Must have had it all prearranged.

Tom, get a flight plan on all private planes that left Reno in the last 18

hours. They could be a long way from here by now, if they got out.

Yes?

Inspector, it's Mr. Ward.

Well, it's not going to be easy.

He's had a pretty good head start.

Yeah, I'll bet.

He can't afford to go on trial and we can't afford to lose him.

Lewis, the results in his case could well be the key to a breakthrough of the

mob's infiltration and legitimate business out there.

Arthur, do you remember an ex -fighter by the name of Nick Irish?

Yes, I seem to remember a pretty fair middleweight.

Well, Forrest Blackwell, the resident agent here, says Al Eubanks owned his

contract at one time.

After he was over the hill, Eubanks took him on as chauffeur bodyguard and

recently fired him for incompetence. Anyway, Forrest thinks he might be

to talk about Eubanks.

Well, let me know what you find out.

And, Lewis, you know how badly we want Breen.

I know how badly La Cosa Nostra wants him, too.

Well, there's one big difference.

We want him alive.

Who the devil is that?

Someone trying to help, probably. That's the last thing we need now. Anybody

recognize her?

Oberlin!

Sorry I took so long. Did you get the parts you need?

Nope, I couldn't find them.

Well, then how do we get to Portland?

In this.

Oh, I don't know.

That's been a long ride for Peggy. That storm shook her up pretty badly.

Not George. I'm fine.

Well, you could be in Portland and on that boat long before I get this tub

in the air again.

Where'd you get it?

I bought it.

There's a sales slip.

It's yours for 2 ,500.

Wait a minute. 2 ,500? You only paid five.

Mr. Breen.

Now, I've got to make a profit on this, too.

That's my service charge.

Forget about it.

We'll wait till you pick the plane.

Well, that's all right with me.

Mind you, a forced landing like this always attracts attention.

You know, pretty soon you're going to have a lot of people around here asking

questions.

What are you doing, Overlake?

Blackmailing us, trying to take advantage of the situation?

I think I'm just facing facts, Mr. Breen.

We've all got to live.

I paid you $5 ,000 to fly us to Portland. Have you forgotten that fact?

You know, I didn't plan on getting knocked out of the air last night.

Now, if you want to stick around here and, uh, wait, now that's okay with me.

But we're going to be here a long time.

He's right, George.

We can't stay here.

Let's just take the truck and go.

All right.

You've made your point.

Pay him the 25 million.

Sorry, mister. Jim's closed today.

Nick Irish?

So?

FBI.

I'd like to talk to you.

About what?

Your former employer, Al Eubanks. I got nothing to say about him.

I'll see you around.

Well, your timing's still pretty sharp.

Looks as though that operation slowed you down too much.

So you know about me. You okay?

I still got nothing to tell you about Eubanks.

That fight he set you for with Bishop, you never had a chance.

You saw it?

No, I read about it.

Everyone agreed you were outclassed.

There was even a strong rumor that Eubanks had a fortune on Bishop.

I wasn't ready for Bishop.

Eubanks knew it.

Doctor told me after the surgery that I'd come that close to buying it.

But you still feel you owe him something, huh?

Oh, maybe because of that job he gave you as chauffeur bodyguard.

How long did you have that before he fired you?

Don't you understand?

He told me that if I got myself back into shape, he'd help me make a

Do you believe that?

What do you want?

I want George Breen.

And I think you banks may have helped him get away.

I don't know. I really don't.

Well, you've been around him a lot. You must have some idea who he'd go to.

There was a guy he used a few times to fly him to meetings, you know?

Out of state, middle of the night stuff.

What was his name?

Lenny. That was his name, Lenny.

I never heard his last name.

What did he look like?

I never saw him.

That's it, I'm sorry.

Probably isn't nothing.

Nobody else?

I'm dry, honest.

Okay, Irish.

Thanks a lot.

Inspector, Eubanks didn't fire me.

I quit.

The day I found out for sure that he'd bet against me, I was afraid I would try

to kill him.

Still having those pains?

Nope. All gone.

I don't like the way you look.

Flattering will get you nowhere.

I never felt better in my life.

You need some rest. We're going to stop at the first motel we come to.

Absolutely not.

Now, we're hours late already, George, and if we miss that boat in Portland...

It won't go without us. That's part of the deal.

George, we can't stop now.

We need every minute we can get.

Copies of the flight plans. All the private plans that left the Reno area

night. Destination ETAs.

Because of the storm, most of the planes were forced back to the field or their

flights were canceled.

One of the planes got as far as Eugene, Oregon, before it was forced down.

He must have been pretty anxious to get through.

Here it is.

Destination Portland, Oregon.

Routine flight.

What was the pilot's name?

Oberly.

Leonard Oberly.

The resident agent in Eugene, Oregon, please.

Call the airport. Get us on the first flight.

And Forrest, get some background on Overly.

Leonard, Lenny, any other variations.

And check for outstanding warrants.

Come on, baby.

Look at that.

Al.

Later, Doris, later. It's important.

You've got company.

All right, son.

Go have your lunch. We'll finish this race later.

Oh, Charlie. Nick.

What are you doing here?

I thought you were in Miami.

We were.

You know my wife, Doris. Yes, we met last year at Mr. Frost's party.

Oh, how is Mr. Frost? Doris.

Excuse me.

Thanks.

Hey, how about a drink?

No, thanks.

Mr. Frost plans to call you today from Miami. He wants us to make sure you're

home when he does.

Since when do I need babysitters?

He's a little upset about George Breen's little trip.

What is he upset about? I made the decision myself.

But Mr. Frost didn't know about him.

It was in Europe or on his way back.

He couldn't be reached.

I had to move fast.

You should have notified the commission.

There was no time. I had to make the decision right or wrong.

That's not the point, Mr. Eubanks. The commission might have had other plans.

What do you mean, other plans?

Mr. Frost will explain.

Sit down, Mr. Eubanks. It may take a while.

Nick, fix Mr.

Eubanks a drink. He'll probably need one.

Inspector? Joe, good to see you again.

You know Tom Colby, don't you? Yes, I do.

We worked out of the New York office together.

That was a while ago, wasn't it, Joe?

We located the plane about over an hour ago.

It's Oberle's, all right.

The local residents say that the plane was forced down during a storm late last

night or early this morning.

No sign of the Marines?

Not since I've been here.

But a witness said he thought he saw some passengers around the plane early

morning. One of them was a woman.

Is that overly?

Yes, sir.

All right, let's have a talk with him.

on the brakes eh okay take it real easy now come on

come on come on

whoa hold it right there that's good that's good okay

all right shut it off

Leonard Oberle, FBI.

We'd like to talk to you.

What about?

Illegal parking?

You're a flight here from Reno.

Yeah, well, I got nothing to tell you.

Bloom?

The bill of sale for a panel truck.

Signed by you.

Purchased this morning for $500 cash.

I'd better turn this way to Portland right now.

Where are they, Oberle?

Eubanks residence.

Yes, Mr. Frost, he's right here.

Yes, we will.

He wants to talk to you alone.

We'll see ourselves out.

Hello, Mr. Frost.

How was the trip?

Nice.

Europe's a nice place, Al.

You and Doris ought to go sometime. Take the kids. They'll love it.

We'd like to.

When did you get back?

Yesterday.

I came home to help George, and what happens? He disappears.

Well, I couldn't reach you when someone had to make a decision.

I mean, there wasn't much time, and under the circumstances, I thought it

the best thing to do.

I talked to the commission, Al. They wanted he should stay.

They had all kinds of legal loopholes to delay the trial.

Well, Mr. Frost, I brought George into the organization, and I felt a

responsibility to him and to us.

I thought what I did was the only sensible thing.

Nobody's finding fault, Al.

But now that he's gone...

We've got to be sure he stays gone.

Well, the law won't find him.

I made that guarantee to the commission, Al.

I said nobody would ever find him again.

Mr. Frost, there's no point in that. I mean, he'd never... Commission decided,

Al.

Believe me, it's like a knife in my heart just asking you to do it.

Asking me?

Mr. Frost, George is like a kid brother to me. I mean, when Doris's uncle died,

I helped put him through school.

Look, Al, do you have to tell me that?

We need someone we can trust, someone George can trust.

Someone he wouldn't suspect.

You know, it's a real compliment to you, Al, that so many people trust you.

Oh, please, Mr. Frost, wouldn't it be better to get someone else? I mean, I

couldn't do it. Not to George.

I'll tell you what.

When it's over, take Doris and the kids to Europe for six months, okay?

Everything first class. How's that sound to you?

Al, you still there?

Yes, Mr. Frost, I'm still here.

Good boy.

I know you won't disappoint us, Al.

Just clean up a few loose ends.

I'm sure the commission will forget it ever happened.

Say hello to Doris for me.

Reservation, please.

Oh, yes.

I'd like to reserve a seat on your next flight out to Portland, Oregon.

Don't do it, Al. Please.

Don't do what? What are you talking about?

Oh, Al, stop playing games.

I can guess what Mr. Frost told you to do.

Well, then you know too much, Doris, and that's a dangerous thing. Al, for 18

years I've been quiet.

I've never interfered, not even once.

And every time the truth came along, I was a good little wife, and I looked the

other way.

But now, when I look one way, I see George and Peggy.

They're part of our family, Al.

And when I look the other way, I see my husband.

No, Al, please.

Oh, come on. What are you getting all worked up about? I never said

It's what you don't say that scares me, Al.

What's the matter with you?

You know me better than that. I wouldn't do anything to hurt George and Peggy.

Yes, but you're flying to Portland. I heard you make the call. All right, I'm

flying to Portland. I have to. It's business.

Al.

Doris. The less you know, the better. Now will you trust me?

Reservations, please.

It's Portland Harbor.

How do you feel?

Fine.

That nap really helped.

You're running a fever. We'd better find a doctor. Now, there's nothing wrong

with me that a boat trip to Vancouver won't cure.

You stay here, and I'll ask about the boat.

Nothing doing. Stay put.

George, they'll recognize you. I'm not quite that famous yet.

Excuse me, I'm looking for a boat called the Little Joe. Do you have any idea

where it is?

Over down the end.

Oh, thanks.

My husband isn't here, Inspector. He was called out of town rather suddenly.

Can you tell me where he went?

It was a business trip. He doesn't discuss those things with me.

Does the business pertain to George Breen?

I have no idea.

I understand you're related to Breen, Mrs. Eubanks.

Yes.

Have you any idea of the danger he and his wife are in?

What kind of danger?

His testimony might incriminate certain members of La Cosa Nostra.

I think you know what that means.

And if your husband is trying to help Rain... I'm sure Al can take care of

himself.

Possibly.

Your cousin and his wife may not be quite as self -sufficient.

Mrs. Eubanks, any information you can give us might prevent a murder.

There's nothing I can tell you, Inspector, nothing.

You know, in a case like this, the murdered man isn't the only victim.

That's the tragedy.

Thanks for your time.

Al left an hour ago for Portland, Oregon, to find George and Peggy.

Where in Portland?

I don't know.

I really don't.

Thanks.

Six hours late.

I can't wait forever. Sorry, Mr. Diamond, we had some problems.

All right, jump on board. Let's get underway.

I'll get my wife. Your wife?

She's in the truck.

All right, all right, but hurry up. Get her on board.

Come on, Peggy.

Peg.

Peggy? Peggy!

Tom? We checked on all the incoming flights, Lou.

No value banks on any of the passenger lists.

They're probably using the same name.

Nobody's recognized the photographs so far.

I'm sure he's here in Portland.

Let's start with the taxi and car rentals.

Excuse me, fellas.

I'm looking for... Excuse

me.

There's a skipper named Diamond, Jack Diamond. You know him? Yeah.

It's him and the little Joe.

Better hurry, though. He's getting underway.

Hey, Diamond!

Hey, Diamond, hold on!

What are you doing here, Al?

The Greens.

Tell them I want to see them.

I can't do it. They ain't on board.

Where are they?

I sent them over to Doc Hollinger's.

Who's Doc Hollinger? He's a friend of mine.

Look, that Mrs. Green, she looked like a pretty sick kid to me.

Well, what happened?

I don't know, but it looked to me like she was about to have a baby.

Well, look, Harry, I've got to find him. Now, can you give me the doc's address?

Peggy?

Peggy?

We gotta get inside.

The doctor.

Quick, where is he? I'm sorry. He's busy right now. It's an emergency. My wife,

she's in the car.

Please, you've got to help me.

That's the man. I'm positive.

How long ago was he here?

Less than an hour ago.

His name was, um... Here it is.

Evans, Albert Evans.

This car was released at 3 .40 p .m.

Did he leave a local address?

Did he give you any indication where he might be going?

Well, he did ask for directions to the harbor.

One more thing. We'll need a description of the car and the license number.

It's all here on the other blank, Inspector.

You can have this car.

Thank you.

We've got to notify the other units and local authorities.

How is she?

The hemorrhaging has stopped.

We've called for an ambulance.

An ambulance?

Your wife has to be hospitalized, Mr... Mr... Bridges.

Can't the doctor take care of her here?

We don't have the facilities here, Mr. Bridges.

She'll be much better off at Community General.

But that's going to take so much time, and by the time... The doctor is trying

to save two lives, Mr. Bridges.

Your wife and the babies.

He'll need all the help he can get.

And now, if you don't mind, I'd like some personal information, please.

Mr. Bridges?

Your wife's full name, please.

Peggy Ann Bridges.

Her age?

Uh, 27.

Is this her first pregnancy?

Well, she had a miscarriage last year.

Right through that door. The doctor's with her.

Your address, please.

Mr. Bridges, your address, please.

Well, we were just driving through when this happened.

You must live somewhere.

Oh, well,

yes, we were coming from Denver. We gave up our apartment in Denver and we were

moving out here.

To Portland?

Well, no, we were going on to Seattle.

Where in Seattle?

We don't know yet.

But I need some address, Mr. Bridges.

Well, I'll probably be moving into a motel or something, someplace near the

hospital. Can I give that to you later?

George?

George?

Right here, Peg.

Are you angry with me?

Peg, you know better than that, of course not.

I sure fouled things up, didn't I?

No, you're going to be fine. Everything's going to be fine.

George, I don't want to lose this baby.

I'll die if I lose this baby, too.

You won't, Pink.

Isn't that true, Doctor? She won't lose the baby, will she?

Better hurry.

Come with me.

Community General OB Ward, if you need me.

All right, Doctor.

Excuse me.

Who are the FBI?

What's the trouble?

We're trying to locate two men who might have been around here.

Does this man look familiar to you?

Yeah, I think that's the same guy.

Sure, that's him. He was here about a half hour ago.

Maybe less.

He was looking for the skipper, Little Joe.

Little Joe?

Yeah, it's a charter boat.

It's gone now. It left a few minutes ago.

Was he aboard?

Oh, I don't think so.

It seems to me he came back to his car and he drove off.

I wasn't paying much attention.

Did this man look familiar to you?

Oh, yeah. He stirred things up good around here.

What do you mean?

His wife got taken. Passed out cold.

He wouldn't even let us call an ambulance.

Just piled her into his truck and drove off.

Panel truck?

Silver Crown Bakeries? Yeah, that's one.

Any idea where they went?

Hospital, I guess.

A doctor?

Well, that girl was in sad shape.

Someone said she was having a baby.

Well, thanks very much.

Yeah.

I'll have the office start a canvas of doctors and hospitals.

May I help you?

Oh, yes, ma 'am. I'm looking for my brother.

I understand that he brought his wife here, some kind of an emergency.

Mr. Bridges. That's right, Bridges, yes. His wife is seven months pregnant.

We've been very worried about her.

I had the impression they were just passing through town. How did you... Oh,

well, I followed them in my car, and we got separated.

I lost them for a while, but... Can you tell me where I can find them?

Yes, of course.

They're at the Community General Hospital.

They're left by ambulance just a little while ago.

Community General.

Can you tell me how to get there? I'm new in town.

Go west to the first traffic light.

That's Marigold Avenue. Turn right on Marigold for about two miles. You can't

miss it.

Thank you.

Mrs. Bridges, is she in any danger?

Yes, I'm afraid the situation is rather serious.

Poor kids. I hate to see anything happen to them.

Calling Dr.

Stevens. Dr.

Stevens, please. Will you please check with the nurse on duty in Ward B?

Doctor. Oh, I wish I had better news for you, Mr. Bridges.

Your wife's condition is still rather serious. She's lost quite a bit of

Will she make it? We're doing everything possible to help her.

And the baby?

A boy.

Premature, but quite healthy.

Well, may I see my wife? She's still pretty weak.

Make it short.

Did you see him?

Oh, he's beautiful.

He's a little skinny, but he's beautiful.

He looks just like you.

You feel okay?

Hey, look, I've almost got my waistline back.

Isn't that exciting? I get a skinny little baby and my figure back in the

day.

I want to call him George Jr., okay?

Yeah, I'd like that.

I want him to have your name and your look and your personality,

everything.

I want him to be just like you.

Oh, George, what are we going to do?

First of all, we're going to get you back on your feet.

Well, the doctor said that that may take two weeks or so, and the baby is going

to have to stay in the incubator for at least... George,

you can't stay here.

You have got to leave without us.

I'm not going anywhere, not anymore.

Not a chance.

George, they'll catch up with you.

I almost committed a murder today.

A double murder. By running away, I almost killed you and the baby. I'm not

running anymore.

But you'll go to prison.

I'll testify for the government. Tell them anything they want to know.

That way, I might even get a shorter sentence. Then when I get out, we'll go

somewhere else.

I'll make up for all this misery.

Don't you see, Peg? It's the only way we can salvage what... The little we've

got left.

You're wrong.

We have more than we've ever had before.

Mr. Bridges?

The name is Breen.

George C. Breen.

Give me the FBI, please.

What the devil are you doing here?

I've been chasing all over, looking for you.

How's Peggy?

It's been rough, but she's okay.

Did Peggy have the baby?

Boy, why are you here?

There's trouble. We've got to get out of here fast.

Wait a minute. I'm not running anymore.

George, you don't understand.

You've been marked.

They'll be here any minute. Now, let's talk.

Here's the keys, George. You drive.

Where are we going?

Well, you get in. You want to stay here and get killed?

It's you, Banks' car.

Unit 3 to all units.

I meant what I said, Al. I'm not running anymore.

I'm going to turn myself in.

I'm going to head into town.

No, you're not, George. You just stay on this road.

You, Al.

There's nobody else after me. They sent you to do it.

I made a wrong move, George.

Trying to get you out. The commission didn't want it.

It was my fault.

And now you've got to clean it up.

Al, we're family. We're friends. You talked me into working for you.

I know. I know.

You think I want it this way?

Remember what you said. There's nothing to worry about. That gangster stuff went

out with the old movies.

Nobody kills anymore, you said. We're too smart for that. We're businessmen

Respectable businessmen. If you were in my spot, what would you do?

I'd find a way out.

I've tried everything. You know that.

Except the law.

You're out of your head. We could go to the FBI, both of us. Tell them

everything we know. It's the only way out, Al.

All right, George, pull up over there by that bridge.

What do you say?

Come on, George. Let's talk some more.

What do you say?

You're right, George. Absolutely right.

Everything you say makes sense.

It's a matter of values, I guess.

You've got to understand what's important.

Your own conscience.

Or a brotherhood of killers.

You're right, George.

Value.

Like brother.

If it weren't for the FBI, I'd be dead right now. They saved my life.

But you'll go to prison.

Honey, let's face it. I'll be safer there than anywhere else.

How long, George?

How long will you be in prison?

Well, that's up to the court. We'll just have to wait and see.

But when I get out, we'll go somewhere else, okay? You and me and that skinny

little kid.

Okay.

I love you.

Thanks for letting me call.

How's she doing?

Okay.

Both she and my son.

Meg's a lot tougher than she looks.

And she'll make it, no matter how long it takes.

I'm sure she will.

Why don't you sit down?

George C. Breen and Al Eubanks were found guilty in federal court of fraud

against the government.

Eubanks was also tried in state court and convicted of attempted murder.

Green furnished information to FBI agents which led to the conviction of

Frost. Leonard Oberle was found guilty on harboring charges.
