Easy. He's a friend.

I prefer the term business.

Point.

He's only been trained to understand that you're either a friend or an enemy,

Curland. Take your pick.

Have you got the report?

Yes.

The money.

Oh, yes. We wouldn't want to forget that, would we?

This is first stage.

I don't understand.

There are two stages to the new remote control observation craft.

The piloting control unit and the new electronic system for transmitting wide

-angle television pictures, the BZ -24.

I've given you the first.

If you want the second, you're going to have to pay extra for it.

We agreed on $5 ,000 for the entire project.

The BZ -24 is more difficult to get hold of than I thought. There are a lot of

risks involved.

That's your concern.

No, it's yours.

Because without it, what you have there is useless.

Now, you just tell your superiors that I want $5 ,000 more, and there's no room

for bargaining in this market.

Just show them the first stage to whet their appetites, Joe.

I'm sure they'll be happy to pay.

Cullen, you know I could turn you into the authorities.

Yes, but if you did, think what I might tell them about you. You know nothing

about me.

Now, can you really be so sure of that, Joe?

How do you know I didn't go out of my way to learn your real name or where you

live?

I'm a scientist, remember?

We're curious by nature and very practical.

I don't think you'll turn me in.

We've both got too much to lose, friend.

No!

No!

Get away from me.

Tonight's episode.

The Watchdog.

On the morning of May 18th, a coded message was sent from a communist

operating off the coast of Massachusetts.

The signal, beamed over a very high frequency transmitter, was received

strongest in the Boston area.

This message, the second in less than two weeks, was intercepted by monitoring

an iron curtain radio frequency and forwarded to the FBI in Washington.

This is the first message.

Proceed as planned with watchdog.

That's all there was, Inspector.

The word watchdog appeared in both messages. It's obviously a code name for

something the communists are after.

Well, let me see the second message then. All right.

Watchdog useless without BZ24.

Must obtain urgent.

Whatever project watchdog stands for, I'm afraid the communists have succeeded

in compromising part of it.

Tom, see if our Boston office can find out anything about this BZ -24 and what

laboratories are involved in projects making use of it. Yes, sir.

Lewis, I'd like you and Tom to handle this case.

We can leave in a couple of hours.

Yes, I believe it.

Where did you locate him?

Colonel's at the General Hospital, all right.

His condition?

Well, they never come right out and tell you anything.

But I gather it's very serious, though.

It's too bad. He could have been very useful to us.

What did happen, Luther?

I told you, he lost his footing and fell.

He lost his footing? Or did you lose your temper?

Speaking of footing, Damien, don't you think you're overstepping yours? You've

no right to question me.

Only the right that comes with ten years of friendship.

Luther, you've changed.

You used to be so cool -headed.

Have I, Damien?

Well, you get angry about things that never used to bother you before.

I've seen you brood over unimportant matters as if it meant the whole life

death of the apparatus.

What you're saying is I'm losing my grip.

But perhaps someone else should be put in charge, possibly even you yourself.

Is that it, Damien? You see, you're doing it again.

No, Lothar, I don't want your job.

You've been doing a very good one, and for a very long time.

Maybe what you need is a short vacation.

You forget that the man I replaced took a short vacation.

I'm afraid the demands of the apparatus continue whether we happen to be tired

or not. We survive by keeping ahead of those demands.

The change you notice is just that of a man having to run a little harder to do

so.

All right, we forget about Curland.

If you must know, he threatened to make trouble.

I wanted to teach him a lesson.

It went a little further than I'd planned.

What concerns us now is getting hold of those plans with the BZ -24.

What's your idea?

That woman who worked at the same lab as Curland, that administrative assistant,

what was her name?

Kate Waller? Yes.

I remember you got on rather well with her before we decided to concentrate on

Curlin.

Oh, I dated her a few times. We had some laughs.

Nothing what you'd call an earth -shaking love affair.

How did you end it?

Rather badly, I'm afraid.

When you decided that Curlin would be a much more youth, I dropped her.

That's too bad.

Still, when it comes to women, I have the utmost faith in you, Damien. I'm

you'll find some way to make amends.

Don't you think we'd be better off if we found someone else at Dino Space?

There simply isn't time. That message said urgent.

Now, Damien, if you can't handle it, I'm sure I can find someone else who can.

All right.

See ya.

Good.

Good night.

How have you been?

Fine. And you?

No complaints.

Can we go someplace and talk?

I was just going to get my car.

I'll walk with you.

Sorry about leaving and not telling you, Kate.

You don't have to apologize.

I'll admit I was a little surprised when your hotel told me you checked out.

But then there's the surprises in life that make it interesting.

Besides, I'm over 21.

I still feel I owe you an explanation.

If it'll make you feel better.

I got a call that morning from this woman in New York who takes care of my

She said he was ill.

So I called the next plane out.

I hope it wasn't anything serious.

Well, not really.

Mrs. Deltman has a tendency to exaggerate those things.

And you haven't been back since, Damien.

Oh, yes, I have.

But there were reasons I couldn't call.

My car is over there.

Kate, are you busy tonight?

Yes.

My sister has another new boyfriend.

A stockbroker.

She wants me to meet him.

They're taking me out for dinner.

Can you get out of it?

Lindsay would be very disappointed.

Fine.

I'm not going to be here very long, Kate.

I'd really like to see her.

I'll try, Damien.

I'll pick you up at eight.

Good to see you, Mr. Tony.

Hi, Tony.

Anything about the BZ -24?

Yes, there's a laboratory here in Boston called Dynaspace that recently

completed the development of a remote control observation craft.

It can be launched and controlled by a portable field unit and also has

interchangeable lens capability, wide angle, telephoto, even infrared for

I think you'll find this even more interesting, Inspector.

One of the engineers on the project, Ralph Kurland, met with an accident the

before we intercepted that second message.

It seems he fell down a steep cliff overlooking the bay.

Ambulance attendants said they found an envelope sticking out of his pocket. It

contained $5 ,000 in cash.

Where's Carolyn now?

The boss in general.

He's in pretty bad shape. His doctor said we wouldn't be able to interview

until at least tomorrow.

Were there any witnesses to the accident?

A man by the name of Tad Cheyenne was fishing on the beach.

He saw Curlin tumbling down the side of the cliff and called for help.

Let's have a talk with him.

But you promised to have dinner with us, Kate. Keith is dying to meet you.

Keep him around a little longer than the others and maybe I'll get his chance.

I don't think that's funny.

I'm sorry, baby.

Look, you don't need me.

We'll make it another time, I promise.

Well, what's come up that's so important, Kate?

I've got a date.

Do I know him?

Yes. It's Damien.

Damien?

After what he did to you?

What did he do to me, Lindsay?

Talk about shabby treatment. Why, he just disappeared without even saying

goodbye.

Maybe he had his reason.

Men like that always have reasons.

men like what lindsey you make him sound like an opportunist his wife died two

years ago and he's devoted to his young son don't make him sound like a monster

i'm just thinking of your own good kate if that's true baby then let me enjoy

this let me enjoy getting ready for him let me enjoy feeling wanted even if it

doesn't last forever

I'm Inspector Erskine with the FBI, and this is Mr. Colby.

Well, you didn't have too much trouble finding me. No, your wife told us where

you'd be.

That's the trouble with being married 20 years. There's no way out even before

you get there.

Mr. Fern, we understand you saw the accident.

Yes, I was fishing just around where we are now, and I heard this kind of sound.

And I looked up, and I saw something falling over.

Well, to tell the truth, I thought it was just a big sack until I got closer

found out different.

See anybody up there with him?

No, just the dog.

Mr. Cheyenne, assuming it wasn't a mongrel, do you think you could

breed from a photograph?

Yes, I believe I could.

Thanks very much. We'll be in touch with you.

Really interested, Damien?

I wouldn't have asked if I weren't.

Yes. One.

When was that?

I was 17.

No, don't laugh.

It's very serious.

Who was he?

A young man.

you might say, was in aerospace.

He ran the rocket to the moon ride at the Sedalia County Fair.

I remember it cost me nearly $3 in tickets before he even noticed me.

His name was Billy Monroe, and he was 20.

And like no other young man I'd ever met before.

What happened?

County fairs end.

And it seems the people that run them one year don't necessarily return the

next. And you haven't been in love since?

Damien, why do you want to know these things?

You came into my life, and without saying a word, you left.

Now you want me to open up to you.

Well, I'm not sure I can.

I'm sorry. I just want to know everything I can about you.

Yes, I've been interested.

Infatuated, but not really in love.

I've had other things to occupy my time.

Lindsay was only 15 when our parents were killed in an accident.

I've been taking care of her ever since.

And then there's my job with Dino Space.

I may be only a glorified secretary, but it's interesting work.

Oh, now, don't put yourself down, Kate.

You're an administrative assistant with a great deal of responsibility.

Maybe that's what I like about you, Damien.

You make me feel important.

Aren't you?

And you have the right to a lawyer.

I know.

But I really don't remember much.

What about the $5 ,000 they found on you?

I agreed to sell the plans to the remote control observation craft for $5 ,000.

Instead, I only gave him the piloting system and asked another five for the BZ

-24.

He refused.

When I threatened to expose him, he turned his dog on me.

Do any of these look like the breed?

Yes, yes, that one.

The Rattweiler.

Now, what about your contact?

Who is he?

I have no idea.

But you just said you threatened to expose him.

I bluffed.

And he called it.

How did he approach you?

Well, I go deep sea fishing sometimes.

A few months ago, I was standing at the railing. I turned around, and he was

there with me.

Fish weren't biting, so we started to talk. Said his name was Joe.

When we got to shore, we had a few drinks.

That's when I realized our meeting was no accident.

He knew quite a bit about me.

About my being in debt.

Where I worked, what I was working on.

He told me what he wanted, I told him the cost, and we made a deal.

Did you ever see him again?

Only that last time.

He kept in touch over the phone. He always called me.

What kind of a car was he driving?

Four -door yellow with a brown top.

New car.

Do you think you could describe him to one of our artists?

Yes.

I'd never forget him.

Baby? I'm home.

Kate?

Guess what?

You got the television commercials!

Yes! Oh, fuck!

It's working. You were looking at the new Golden Globe makeup, girl. I'm so

proud of you.

You know, the first thing we're going to do with that money?

We're going to take that vacation we've always talked about. We'll fly to

London, Paris, Rome, a couple of weeks on the Riviera. I can't take off just

like that. Sure you can. It's going to be the best vacation yet. You'll see. In

the meantime, we are going to celebrate over a nice, quiet dinner at home. I

picked up some lasagna, Papa Joe's. Lindsay, I'm having dinner with Damien

tonight.

He'll be picking me up in a little while.

Baby.

Keith's working tonight.

Guess I'll just eat alone.

He's only going to be in town a short time.

I know, but... It's just that we never get to see each other

anymore, Kate.

The only time we saw each other before was when you were getting dressed to go

out. That's not fair, Kate.

You don't really care, do you?

How can you say that?

I've cared about you your whole life.

I've seen to it that you had nice things, so that you didn't have to bury

yourself in some dull job so you could become a model.

I've cared about you when you've been ill.

I've cared when you've been upset.

But I'm your sister, Lindsay, not your mother.

I've got to start caring about myself.

Be happy for me, baby, please.

If I don't hurry...

Keith? Oh, hi, honey.

Hey, what's the matter, beautiful? You sound upset.

I guess I am a little.

What's the matter?

I'm worried about Kate.

What about her?

Remember that Damien Howards I told you she was seeing?

Uh -huh.

Keith, Kate has never really dated very much, and when it comes to men, she's a

babe in the woods.

I don't understand what this Damien... Once, unless he's... Unless what?

He's just using her.

Uh, want me to find out about him?

Do you think you could?

Sure, sure.

Damien Howard.

The Ness, right?

You know what company he works for?

Uh, Telecall.

Uh, they make intercom systems.

Telecall. Okay, I'll get right on it.

According to Paul Elton, Curlin's project leader, there are at least 50

at Dynaspace who have access to the BZ -24 plants.

That includes engineers, administrative assistants, secretaries.

Even those who work in the copying room have clearance on the project.

It might have been simpler to get a list of those who don't. That's right.

Harper?

Yes, sir. He's right here. It's for you, Inspector. Mr. Ward.

See what you can find in these, Tony.

Yes, Arthur.

Are you making any progress?

Well, we have what Curlin says is a good artist's conception of the subject.

So far, we haven't been able to identify him. Have you come up with anything

else?

Possibly. Curlin said the contact had a dog which caused his fall.

We established it as a Rottweiler, and we're working on those lines.

Fine.

Well, keep me informed of any other developments.

Right.

to wear that black patch I bought you?

I'm going to. I'm going to look just like that big fat man inside. What do

think of that?

What are you going to show me now?

Show you?

I've lived here for years and I've never been here.

I don't believe you. It's true.

I love being a tourist and just wandering around enjoying the day.

Have I tired you out yet?

No, I'm enjoying it too.

Really?

Really. Isn't it obvious?

Are you having as much fun as you did at the country fair in Sedalia?

Yes.

I was much too young then.

You only know the words, not the feeling.

I'm going to have you immortalized.

Oh, no.

Oh, come on, Kay.

No, I couldn't. Come on, for me.

I'm not in my modeling mood today.

But you look so happy and beautiful.

Oh, dear, aren't we being glad?

I want a picture of you just as you look right now.

Okay.

Can we be next?

Thank you.

Be kind.

What are you doing here?

Protecting my future, Damien. You were supposed to keep in touch.

You'd better smile, Damien.

What do you want?

Have you asked her about the plan?

I'll need a little more time.

I've had more than enough.

I won't allow anything to stand in the way of getting these plans, Damien.

Not even your life.

Or hers.

You get them.

You don't have to threaten me.

Tomorrow, Damien.

By the way, my friends voted at your disposal any time you go to listen.

Come to think of it, he does look familiar.

You say he's got a Rottweiler?

That's right.

I'm almost sure that's him.

Only thing is, I can't remember the guy's name.

Well, you keep some kind of records, don't you?

No, not after their dogs have completed the course. I haven't got the room.

Besides, this must have been a couple of years ago.

Well, can you think of anything that might help us locate him, Mr. Nolan?

Something he said that might have stuck in your mind?

The only thing we ever talked about was the dog.

Well, what about a vet? Do you know where he took him?

I really don't remember.

But there's only one fellow I would have recommended if he'd asked.

Who's that?

Well, the best in town. Doc Keller over on Lincoln Avenue.

Thank you.

Jimmy, run that shepherd out of kennel three, will you? We'll work him out.

Damien, what's the matter?

Damien?

I'm leaving.

And I'm afraid for good.

I don't understand.

What's happened?

I couldn't leave without telling you this time.

Damien, is it something I've done or said?

No. Then what is it?

You've got to tell me.

I'm not sure I can.

You owe me that much, at least.

I did

something very foolish a couple of years ago.

It's come back to haunt me.

What?

I was installing an intercom system in a research laboratory out west.

And one day I was approached by a man who asked me if I would plant a

transmitter in one of the small boxes.

He said the lab had invented a type of television tube that the competition

wanted.

Industrial espionage is what it's called.

He said if I didn't do it, he'd find somebody else who would.

I knew it was the wrong thing to do, Kate, but I needed the money.

My wife was in the hospital, and it was costing me a fortune to keep her alive.

So I planted the bug, and I got my money, and I never saw him again or

from him until... Until when?

I met you.

He seemed to come out of the woodwork.

He knew everything about you, where you worked and what you did, and that you

had access to certain plans.

So he wanted me to get you to work for him.

And that's when I left without calling you.

I didn't want to get you involved.

But you came back.

I had to see you again.

I guess I was hoping that he'd leave me alone this time.

But he didn't. The man with the dog?

That's right.

He's been following us.

He said if I didn't cooperate this time, he'd turn me over to the authorities.

I didn't know it at the time, but the job I did for Mount West had nothing to

with industrial espionage.

It was a real thing.

Oh, no.

What are you going to do?

Tell him you refused.

That I'm not going to see you anymore.

What if he turns you in?

I'll just have to face up to the consequences.

The important thing is you're not involved.

But I am involved.

I'm in love with you.

It's no good, Kate.

It's the best thing that ever happened to me.

What does he want?

I can't let you.

Damien, if you hadn't come back to me, you wouldn't be in this trouble. Let me

help you get out of it.

What does he want?

The BZ -24.

Whatever that is.

When does he want it?

By tomorrow.

All right.

Tell him he'll have it.

And then you'll be free of them.

We can go away together.

Just the two of us.

But, Kate... Now don't talk.

Hold me.

Yes?

Inspector, it's Mr. Ward.

Yes, Arthur.

Lewis, another message was intercepted from the trawler this morning.

It seems to be a reply to a request made by whoever's in charge there, possibly

Curlin's contact.

What'd it say?

As far as we can make out, upon completion of Watchdog...

It authorizes the spymaster's request to recall the number two man to the

eastern zone for insubordination.

And it gives permission to liquidate him if he refuses to go.

He must be getting close.

That's what we make of it.

Have you come up with anything?

We may have something within an hour, Arthur. I'll get back to you.

Right.

You did what?

I asked Keith to find out about Damien.

Why?

Because you don't think I'm capable of finding a man to love me? I don't want

you hurt.

That's not the real reason.

We've got to take care of each other. You mean yourself. No.

That's it, isn't it? You make me sound so mean and selfish.

Any man who ever looked at me, there was always something wrong, wasn't there?

The truth now, Lindsay. We've got to stop lying to each other.

Kate.

I can't lose you.

I need you.

Too much.

My poor baby.

My poor helpless baby.

My name is Keith McKay. I'm a friend of Lindsay's.

Oh, yes. Kate has mentioned you to me.

Well, come on in.

What I have to say won't take very long.

Uh, Mr. Howard?

If that's really your name.

I want you to leave Kate alone.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means I checked with a telecall company and there's no Damien Howard's

working for them. Never has been.

Well, who did you check with?

Hedda Perkinel.

Oh, well, then that's the reason.

You see, I do a special job for Telecall.

I'm what you call a troubleshooter.

I was hired by the president himself, R .J. Rhodes.

So you won't find me listed with a regular personnel?

Really?

That's very interesting.

But I think you're bluffing.

I think you'd better mind your own business, Mr. McKay. And I think you'd

stay away from Kate Waller unless you want me to call the police.

Maybe I should check with them anyway, eh, Mr. Howard?

Goodbye Yes,

Luther

I just had a visitor.

I think we might have some trouble.

Yes, I recognize him. Luther Shawn.

He was just in about a week ago.

I've taken care of his Rottweiler for a couple of years now.

You have his address, Doctor? I'll get it for you.

Come on.

I didn't know you were in the building, Miss Waller.

Yes. I had some work to catch up on.

I always thought the saying was no rest for the wicked.

Good night.

Sean's not there, Inspector.

Yes, 10.

I spoke to his landlady.

She said she saw him leave a couple of hours ago.

10, go ahead.

Inspector, we received a call from a Dr. Keller about a Luther Sean.

Yes?

Sean's dog attacked a man by the name of Keith McKay in an underground garage a

little while ago.

The police traced Dr. Keller by a dog tag found on the scene.

Did he say where McKay is now? Boston General.

Apparently, he was also shot.

Thank you.

Tony, have your unit keep the house under surveillance.

Right.

Oh, Damien.

I'm still shaking.

I can imagine.

How did it go?

Fine. But I was so afraid.

Give me the glass.

Hello? I'm at the hospital, Kate.

Lindsay, what's wrong?

Keith's been shot.

What?

Who'd want to do a thing like that?

I don't know. He found out about Damien and someone tried to kill him.

Found out what?

That he doesn't work for telecom, that he's been lying to you.

Is he there with you, Kate?

Is he?

What is it, Kate?

Keith McKay.

Lindsay's boyfriend.

He's been shot.

Shot?

Well, who'd want to do a thing like that?

Why don't you tell me, Damien?

What's that supposed to mean?

You lied about working at Telecall, didn't you?

Well, that was a mistake. I can explain that, Kate.

Keith found out and someone shot him.

Then everything else must be lies.

That story you told me about what happened two years ago.

They don't have a hold on you.

You're one of them, aren't you?

Yes, I am.

If I came right out and told you the truth, you wouldn't have done what you

Then it's all lies.

You and me are going away.

It was just to get me to steal for you.

Well, maybe it started that way.

But after a while, things changed.

You've got to believe I love you, Cain.

I'm in every word I said.

I can't believe you anymore.

How can I?

All right.

Maybe it's better this way.

I need those plans, Cain.

No. Well, where are they?

Kate, I need those plans.

That's him, Inspector. I'm positive of it.

Inspector, I think Damien's at the apartment. I just talked to Kate.

What makes you say that?

She sounded so strange and frightened when I asked if he was there, she hung

the phone on me.

What's the address there, Miss Waller?

333 Hartford Road, apartment 214.

Thank you.

Do you understand that Sean will stop at nothing to get those plans, even if it

means killing both of us?

Now, where are they?

I grew tired of waiting for you.

I see I was right in coming here.

You found Damien?

All right, Luke, you can go if you want.

Kate, I want to talk to you.

Damien!

My car's outside.

Let's go.

Both of you.

Lieutenant. Inspector, the Bureau just called back.

The Attorney General authorizes you to make arrests.

10 -4.

Let her go, Luther.

I'm afraid she knows too much, Damien.

Far too much.

Just a moment.

FBI.

Step over.

I'll call an ambulance.

It's Keith McHale, right?

You shot an elder. It's not serious.

I didn't mean for all this to happen.

You've got to be on your own now, baby.

You're going to be all right.

All right, Miss Waller.

Luther Shawn, Damien Howard, Ralph Kurland, and Tate Waller were convicted

conspiracy to commit espionage against the United States.
