All language subtitles for The FBI s07e02 Recurring Nightmare

Hi, Wendy.

Hi, Wendy.

Hi, are you Wendy Rankin?

Well, look, I'm from the stables, and
I'm sorry, but they said your horse has

got a loose shoe there, and they want
him brought back.

Oh.

So you can ride on back with me in the
truck, and my partner will walk him back

there.

Maybe we should have asked her to join
us.

Sure. It's such a bummer when you're
shy.

What would you know about being shy?

I spend my nights reading about it. Come
on.

I don't remember seeing you at the
table.

Oh, we're most of the time at the
grazing range.

Oh, well, I'd rather walk him back
myself.

Well, listen, the boss asked me to, you
know, bring you back in the truck

because it's all our fault. It's about
the horse and, you know, we don't want

put you out.

You're not putting me out.

I can walk back. I'll tell him it was my
idea, okay?

Hey,

what are you doing?

The FBI.

A Gwyn Martin production.

Starring Ephraim Zimbalist Jr.

Also starring Philip Abbott, William
Reynolds, with guest

stars Belinda Montgomery, Ralph Meeker,
and Tim

McIntyre as Dale Fisher.

Tonight's episode, Recurring Nightmare.

On April 9th, a truck matching the
description and license number furnished

the eyewitness to the abduction of Wendy
Rankin was found across the Colorado

state line outside Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Because the victim apparently had been
transported across state lines, the FBI

entered the case.

Yes, I have it. Thank you.

Mr. Rankin, I just received... I'll get
it.

Inspector. Holden. Hi.

Has there been any contact yet?

No, sir, not yet.

But agents have just located the rental
agency where the pickup truck was

rented. The leasee matches the
description given by the eyewitnesses.

the name used?

Wyatt Larson.

Agents are forwarding latent prints
lifted from the truck, and the Bureau is

searching the name Wyatt Larson.

Has something happened?

You haven't found her?

No, I'm sorry, not yet.

Inspector, why don't they phone? I don't
understand.

A little girl could be... Why doesn't
somebody do something?

I'm sorry, Inspector. It's this awful
waiting that I can't stand. It's not

knowing.

We're not wealthy people, Inspector.

But if we get a ransom note, I don't
care how much they ask.

We'll pay it.

We just want Wendy back, alive and safe.

That's what we want too, Mr. Rankin.

Was horseback riding one of your
daughter's regular activities?

She went once or twice a week. She was
just getting to the point where she

really seemed to like it.

Do many people know about her riding
other than the stable personnel?

No.

We need a list of her friends, Mrs.
Rankin.

People she's been seeing recently.

Wendy doesn't have very many friends.

You see, she's always been very shy,
withdrawn.

It's just been in the last couple of
years that she's begun to gain some

confidence to come out into the world.

I just know this is going to drive her
right back into it.

Please get her back for us, Inspector.

Please get our little girl back.

Why won't you tell me where you're
taking me?

Well, I did tell you, darling. Now, just
relax. Just think of it as being kind

of a little vacation.

You're so tired. Now, why don't you try
and get some sleep?

No. No, I can't.

Well, sure you can if you try.

Now, look, why don't you climb back
there and curl up in the back seat and

just throw my coat over you.

No, she stays where she is.

If she gets in the back, she might try
to jump out.

Oh, now, come on, Gray. What are you
trying to do, scare our girlfriend here?

Listen, now, just put your head on my
shoulder and... Okay, but, I mean, look

at yourself. You're just a nervous
wreck, and there's no need for it.

Nobody's gonna hurt you.

My parents must be frantic by now.

No, they're not, honey. That's why we
sent them that little note.

Oh, please, what do you want?

Nothing, honey.

Just... Look around you. It's beautiful
here. Just take it all in and let your

mind go. Let your thoughts come out.

Dear Mommy and Daddy, I just need a
little time to myself away from home and

with friends.

Everything is just fine, so please don't
worry about me. Love, Wendy.

They must have forced her to write that.

According to what the witnesses told us,
she didn't get in the truck willingly.

Is it her handwriting?

Oh, yes, it's her handwriting.

Do you have any other examples of her
handwriting around the house? Yes.

Yes, I think we do.

There's something.

She never called us Mommy and Daddy. You
see, Wendy's an adopted child.

It took her years before she could even
refer to us as her mother and father.

Believe me, that was a momentous
occasion.

But Mommy and Daddy never... Could be
her way of telling you she was forced to

write the note.

Could be.

Did she seem preoccupied or disturbed
during the past couple of weeks?

Not at all.

When was Wendy adopted?

When she was eight.

Here, I think these notes of Wendy's
will help you. Thank you.

Where was the adoption made?

Here in Denver?

No, no, in Salt Lake City. We were
living there at the time.

What was her real name?

It was Williams.

Gwendolyn Williams.

Have her own parents or relatives ever
tried to get in touch with her?

No, no one.

And I'm sure she'd have told us.

Hello?

It's for you, Inspector.

You can take it in the hall if you like.

Lewis, the Wyatt Larson you identified
as renting the truck used in the

abduction is an alias of a Dale Fisher.

We matched the latents from the truck
with his fingerprint record.

I'm sending out his identification
record and photos right away.

Dale Fisher.

What do we know about him?

He was paroled from prison a few months
ago after serving a term for armed

robbery. At present, he's in violation
of his parole.

The Utah authorities have asked our
assistance in locating him under the

unlawful flight statute.

Salt Lake City is where Wendy was
adopted.

You think there might be a connection?

I don't know.

I know Fisher's a relative.

Has there been any ransom demand yet?

No, the Rankins received a note from the
girl, but it seems clear she was

coerced into writing it.

Why would Fisher go to the trouble of
getting her to write a note?

It's hard to say.

I think I'd better fly to Thoreau Lake,
Art, and have a talk with the people at

the adoption agency.

All right, Lewis.

Just keep me informed.

Come on, get out, honey. Stretch your
legs a little bit.

Boy, it's beautiful, isn't it?

Go ahead. Walk around a little.

You say this is the place?

This is the place.

Okay, then get to work.

Gray, you haven't listened to anything
I've been telling you. You can't force

these things. Just look at it.

You just got to let it kind of come out.

Because your brain is like a little
teeny computer.

Everything you've ever done is in there.
It's recorded in there.

But if something really bad happens, you
just...

kind of cancel it all out.

And it's still in there, still in the
computer, but it's like you've thrown

the key.

So we've got to take it nice and slow
and help her find this key. It's as

as that.

Sound like to me.

I'm not stupid.

Reading a few books doesn't make you a
genius.

I know that.

What's the matter, sweetheart?

Nothing.

Oh, come on now. What is it? You're
shaking all over. Come on.

Now, you can tell me. What is it?

It's this place.

There's something familiar about it to
you, isn't there?

No, I don't know.

Oh, sure you do. Now, you can tell me
because I'm your friend.

No, you're not. They take me home right
now.

Well, you know what we're talking about.

And you know exactly what this place is,
so tell us.

I don't know anything. I just want to go
home. All right, now, take it easy now,

honey. You can go home any time you want
to.

Oh, you don't mean that.

Yes, I do.

All you have to do is just tell us where
that money is.

What money?

The $400 ,000.

And you know exactly where it is.

After I got your call, Inspector, I
arranged for authority to make these

available to you.

Thank you.

Gwendolyn was only with us five months.

Did you ever meet her parents, Mrs.
Copeland?

No. Wendy came to us when her
grandmother became too ill to take care

anymore.

Unfortunately, I never met the
grandmother personally.

She died in the county hospital shortly
after the little thing came here.

What sort of child was Wendy?

Oh, I remember her quite well.

She was painfully shy and frequently had
nightmares.

Not that there's anything so unusual
about that.

But there were certain things she would
never talk about.

Such as?

Her background, where she came from, who
her parents were.

Her real name is Gwendolyn Williams,
isn't it? Yes, her parents are Mr. and

J .S. Williams of Salt Lake. Both
deceased.

Did Wendy have any brothers or sisters?

No.

Do you remember anyone by the name of
Fisher among her relatives or visitors,

for that matter?

No, I... I don't think so.

Mrs. Copeland, have your records been
tampered with recently?

We did have a burglary five weeks ago,
and some petty cash was taken.

At the time I reported it, I thought it
was only the money.

But now that you mention it, my records
were gone through.

I wonder if you'd mind if we had these
processed for fingerprints.

No, of course not.

Thank you for your cooperation.

We'll be returning to you as soon as
possible.

You've been most helpful.

Here you go, darling.

Now, come on, take it.

I'm going to show you something here.

And it's nothing you have to be afraid
of or anything. I just want you to look

at it and tell me what comes into your
mind.

You remember that, Wendy?

Now, I know it's going to be hard. I
don't like to put you through this,

darling, but there's just no other way.

You seeing your father like this, and
you were only eight years old at the

and I think you're going to feel a lot
better if you just tell me about it.

I don't know what you're talking about,
and I feel fine, thank you.

You're just not telling me the truth,
honey.

This little vein right there on your
forehead is...

pumping like a puppy out of breath.

Now, I know it isn't easy losing your
father and having to go to your grandma,

but don't you want to go home, honey?

He told me to wait.

He said he'd come back for me.

So I waited.

All right, now, where did he say he was
going?

I don't remember.

I was scared, and then I heard gunshots
like

firecrackers.

I was so frightened.

But I ran toward the noise, and when I
got closer,

I stopped.

The man saw me, and I ran.

That's when I saw him.

I guess they didn't want me to see him,
but I did.

He was just lying there by the car.

Why did you bring me here?

Easy now. Take it easy.

Take your time.

It's all going to come back, and some of
it will be bad, but there's a lot of

good in it, too. Now, think of some of
the good things. Like, it must have been

fun driving up here with him. Do you
remember driving up here with him? Where

did he say he was going?

Oh, wait.

We are going away.

That's right, now. He was headed for the
Canadian border.

But before that, that morning, before
you got here, where had you been?

Where did he hide that money?

I don't remember.

Well, is there any... Did you pass
anything?

Was there... On the way, was there like
a place or something?

Rock.

The Indian teepees.

You saw Indian teepees?

The rock looked like three Indian
teepees.

My father made it up.

A story up about...

about three Indian brothers who didn't
want to fight.

And the other Indians thought they were
cowards.

But they all died very bravely.

And they carved the rot to look like
their teepees.

Act five.

You did just fine.

So that's it, huh?

Some Indian story.

We're getting there, Gray.

How? It seems like a puzzle. She just
gave us the first two pieces.

How do we get the rest of the pieces?

Find the rocks.

Inspector, I'm just waiting here.

Is there any way I can go with you and
help find her?

Mr. Rankin, I appreciate how you feel,
but...

You're going to help us best by
remaining calm and staying exactly where

are.

All right, Inspector.

Inspector, you have to understand, Wendy
is our only child.

She couldn't be more dear if she had
been our own.

You see, before we got her, the doctors
told us we couldn't have any children.

She's all we have in the world.

Please let us know the moment you...
learn anything.

Of course.

Colby.

Yes, sir.

Hello, it's Mr. Ward.

Hello, Arthur.

Hey, Lewis.

The background information from the
children's home records helped us in our

file search.

Wendy's father, J .S. Williams, was
undoubtedly Jason Stanley Williams.

Ten years ago, he and a confederate held
up a payroll office for $400 ,000.

That would make Wendy about eight at the
time.

That's right.

Williams' partner was captured at the
scene, but Williams got away with the

money. He headed up for Canada, but he
stopped on his way to pick up his

daughter.

Sheriff's deputies caught him in a
Wyoming national forest where Williams

to shoot his way out, but he was killed.

Was the money recovered?

No, that's just it.

Williams evidently hid it someplace in
that area.

Little girl was in such a state of
shock, she couldn't remember anything.

What happened to Williams' partner?

His name is Graham Newcomb.

He was released from prison last month
after completing his sentence.

His cellmate was the Dale Fisher we've
been looking for. And we developed

Fisher's latent prints on the children's
home records.

The whole thing's pretty clear, isn't
it?

I'm afraid it is, Lewis.

And that poor girl has to live through
it all over again.

Did it help you?

Well, I hope so, Ranger. I have a friend
with me that's a photography nut, and

he's looking for some rocks around here
that are supposed to look like Indian

teepees or something. Have you ever
heard of that?

I wonder if your friend might not be
thinking of sachem rocks.

They look like three Indian teepees.

Years ago, the Indians made pilgrimages
to them to pray to an end to any natural

disaster like floods or droughts or
forest fires.

Uh -huh.

Uh, is that anywhere near here?

Yes, it's, uh, just past the Carson
Turnout.

There's a picnic grounds there, too. A
nice place for lunch.

Oh, yes, right. And so I take this left
fork here, huh?

That's right. About a half hour from
here.

Great. Thanks a lot. That's a big help.

I wonder what's taking him so long.

You're just stalling, aren't you?

You know where the money is, but you're
just playing for time.

I'm talking to you!

out of your head. Put that thing away.

You're giving orders now?

You can't have a raffle up here, man. If
anybody sees us with that, we're gonna

get nailed.

Come on.

If we don't get what we came after soon,
we're gonna get nailed anyway.

Look, she knows where the money is.
She's just stalling. Oh, leave her

She told the truth about those rocks,
man. I found out where they were.

Look here.

See, there's the Carson turnoff.

Right there. St. Jim Rocks. Well, let's
go.

Ray? Yeah.

That's it.

From now on, we'll do it my way.

This is where the gunfight occurred?

Yes, sir. I was with the sheriff's
department at the time.

We tried to take Williams alive, but we
were forced to fire in self -defense.

Were you able to talk to him?

No, he died immediately.

We conducted an extensive search for the
money, but we never found it.

We didn't know what area he'd been in,
and the rainstorm had washed out all

tracks.

What about her daughter?

You talked to her?

Not right away. She was in some kind of
shock.

We tried later, but the doctor said
she'd blocked out all memories what

happened.

And to question her further would do
some real damage.

The girl was staying with her
grandmother, then?

Right.

I'm sorry she's been thrown into this
nightmare again.

Have all range of stations been alerted?

Yes, sir.

We're doubling security at the
entrances.

Well, we've divided the area into grids
with a control point right here.

We'll be using helicopters. Why don't
you keep that? We have another copy.

If we can be of any further help, you
let us know.

Thank you.

Unit 60, Unit 1.

This is 1.

Inspector, District Force Ranger Reed
reports that a man answering the

description of one of the... The subject
was in to see him.

10 -4. Tell him we're on our way.

I don't see any Indian TPs.

Well, maybe we're too close to
something. Just keep looking around,

you remember ever having been here
before?

I warned you about stalling.

Look, I'm trying.

I'm honestly trying.

But the more you threaten me, the more
frightened I become and... Oh, I don't

care what happens anymore. I just don't
care.

You don't want to remember, do you?

If I saw my father dead, I'd never
forget.

It'd take something else to make me want
to forget it.

That's not true.

Sounds like sense to me.

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

You think it's your fault, don't you?

You're a liar!

Hey, wait a minute. That is it, isn't
it? No.

Well, sure it is. Your father had the
money. He could have gone right on to

Canada, but he stopped and got you.

Look, he loved me. No matter what he
was, he loved me.

Well, of course he loved you, but that
just made it hurt more, knowing that

you'd float him up and knowing that
because of you he got himself killed.

No, I did not!

That's absolutely true. That's what
you've been thinking all these years,

it? Well, it's wrong.

It's not your fault.

You've been blaming yourself all this
time for nothing.

It's not your fault that he pulled that
job, and you can't be blamed for what

happened to him. Can't you see that?

But I did blow him down.

I had a cold, and it was rainy and
windy, and I didn't feel well, and I

him to stop someplace. I even remember
crying.

Where did he stop?

A cabin. I remember waking up, and I
felt warm. He put a coat over me.

the cabin?

I don't know.

I did remember a picture on the wall of
an old man with a white beard.

What else? What else did you see in
there?

Rocks.

Out the window.

The rocks.

The three Indian teepees.

Get the map.

Come on, then. What else? Do you
remember where you hid that money?

How can you be friends with somebody
like that?

Oh, he's not so bad. He's just a
desperate man, that's all. He thinks

belongs to him because all those years
in prison, that's all he ever thought

about.

Were you in prison with him?

Yeah.

Now, listen, I'll protect you as long as
I can, but you've got to help me.

You've got to remember where that money
is heading, and this whole thing will be

over. Dale!

I think this is it.

Historical monument.

Round Rock Cabin has got to be hostile.

Yes, this is the man who was here.

Was he alone?

No, sir.

He said he and a photographer friend
were looking for a particular rock

formation, shaped like some Indian
teepees.

I directed him to the Sachem Rocks.

Where would that be, Ranger?

Just there, past the Carson Turnout.

But you don't get a good view from
there.

You're too close.

Was he driving a car?

No.

Matter of fact, he was on foot.

Maybe he had a car parked further on
down the road.

They say you don't see Satrum Rocks very
well from there. Where do you see it

from? Best place is right up here near
the Round Rock cabin.

Thanks very much.

Anytime.

I feel a lot better in the Rankin, girl.

Well, they obviously haven't found the
money yet, so they still need it.

Unit 1 to all units.

Subjects are believed to be in the area
of Satrum Rocks.

Concentrate search in grid F3.

It was dark, but it looked like it.

Look, please don't leave me alone with
him.

Yeah, those three peaks.

Yeah, they do look like teepees.

All right, where did he bury it?

I don't know.

I'll give me some time to think, please.

Down there.

He had a shovel with him, and he walked
back up that little trail.

I couldn't see where he'd been, but,
well, it couldn't have been too far.

He said that he buried it in between the
two birch trees in the middle of the

trail, and he'd marked the spot with a
pile of stones.

And he said that it'd be...

It'd be safe there until we could come
back for it.

Keep an eye on her.

Dale? I lied about the money. It's not
there.

You what?

Look, just listen first, please.

Once he finds that money, he's going to
kill me.

Oh, come on. Nobody's going to kill
anybody.

Yes, he will.

I'm not a child anymore.

I can identify him and you.

And that's what you planned all along. I
know it.

But what's to stop him from killing you,
too?

All he wants is the money, you know.

Now you're all worried about me, huh?

Well, you've been kind.

And you're not like him.

Well, if I was to show you where the
money was, you'd let me go. I know it.

Do you know where the money is?

Yes.

Look, I can tell you're just as afraid
of him as I am.

And you can have it all to yourself.

All right.

Where is it?

About half a mile. I can't tell from up
here.

Let me tell you something.

If you're lying to me, so help me. I
swear.

Please, Dale.

I'll take you to the money.

All right.

Let's go.

EW!

Well, these could be their footprints.

Yeah, it appears they didn't wander very
far from the car.

Well, they really didn't need to.

Can't see Sachem Rocks from here anyway.

You know, I don't think Williams would
try to bury the money on this side, Lou.

It's almost sheer rock.

Yeah, it's pretty exposed over this way.

Well, we said the best view of Sachem
Rocks is from the Round Rock cabin area.

Unit 1 to all units.

Subjects are believed to have left HM
Rocks and proceeded northeast.

All units in grid 7, 8, and 9
concentrate in that area.

You startled me.

You camped down Site 12?

I guess you didn't read the signs, but
firearms aren't permitted in this part

the National Forest.

If you have a car nearby, why don't you
lock up the trunk?

Yeah, I'll do that.

This is Ranger Harper at Promontory
Rock.

I just encountered a man with a rifle.

He...

All right, then. We've gone over a mile,
and you said it was a half a mile. Now,

where is it? Well, there were two trees.

Two trees? That's a lot of help, isn't
it?

I remember water.

You see any water around here?

You tried to split us up, didn't you?

Well, you've done it.

Because he knows we're going by now, and
he's out looking for us with that

rifle. Listen to me.

I lied, but I'm not lying now.

I had to, or you wouldn't have come, but
not now.

Bits and pieces keep coming back to me,
and I remember the two trees and a

waterfall of some size.

waterfall on there.

Come on.

One of them jumped me.

Like the one called Newcomb.

Was he alone?

Yes.

Seemed like he was looking for the
others.

We'll get help here right away.

There used to be a waterfall over there.

And... I think these are the two trees.

Where did he bury it?

There.

It's 10 -4.

Helicopter 3 spotted two people, a man
and a girl, in grid E -2.

Leave him alone.

You can't just let him die.

He won't die.

Gritty, too, must be right.

There.

Yeah.

FBI, Newcomb.

Wendy, down behind the rock.

Take a back.

Completely decomposed.

What a price to pay.

No, not yet.

I really appreciate it.

Yes, I'll tell her.

I'll have June call you later.

Wendy!

Well,

fellas, come on in. Come on in.

Oh, thank heaven.

Thank you.

Let me look at you. How do you feel? Are
you all right? Yeah, I'm fine.

I think you'll find she's a little
different from the girl you described to

Different? No, Mom, really, I'm all
right.

Nothing's changed.

Hasn't it?

The first time you ever called me Mom.

Well, what are we all sitting around
for? Let's go inside and be comfortable.

Graham Newcomb recovered from his
wounds.

He and Dale Fisher were tried and
convicted in federal court of

Newcomb was also found guilty of
assaulting federal officers.

Fisher was convicted in state court of
burglary. They were sentenced to terms

federal penitentiaries.
