All language subtitles for The FBI s07e18 Judas Goat

I'm a long way from home And I miss my
loved one so

In the early morning rain No place

to go Hear the mighty engines roar

See the silver bird on high She's away

and westward bound

Far above the clouds she'll fly Where
the morning rain don't fall

And the sun will always shine She'll be
flying

over home In about three hours time

In the early morning rain

With a dollar in my hand.

You know how long it's been since I
signed a real comer like Torrey Hughes,

Wadsworth? Eight years.

Well, they should be in a new room or
something, some kind of a place that

a younger crowd.

I know this is the best I could get in
Indianapolis. The crowd's all wrong,

but... Mr. Wadsworth, another few
thousand would do it.

A demo record, some plane tickets.

If you could just carry me for a couple
thousand more.

You know the organization doesn't work
that way, Keno.

This is different.

Torrey Hughes is like money in the bank.

You said yourself the kid will make it.

I'm a regular fan, Keno.

Well, what's everybody so all uptight
about?

You'll get the money I owe you. Or
Torrey Hughes' contract.

What? That's the only deal, Keno.

I walk out of here paid in full or with
the kid's contract.

Wait a minute, you gotta...

I won't.

The organization plays rough when
payments get sloppy.

You could get hurt, Keno.

And you knew that going in.

Didn't you?

We're children of the universe.

So like every tree and star, we'll build
our house in an act of God.

Tori, what do you think?

I like it. I really do.

Well, I'm no Dylan.

I'm sure glad of that.

Hey.

What did Wadsworth say?

Let's forget him.

Wait a minute.

What do you mean?

I thought he was going to lend us some
money for a demo.

Changed his mind.

Keno, come on.

This loan could have made the difference
for us.

You said Wadsworth was a businessman who
liked to invest in talent. You said

you'd borrowed from him before.

You could count on him. You told me
that.

Tori, it just didn't work out.

I'll see you kids back at the motel.

What is happening? Am I jinxed or
something? Is that it?

So, that's what... Wait.

Keno Donnelly.

Keno, I got this message for you.

It's nothing personal, you understand.

I mean, stomping on old men.

It's not my style.

It's just business.

I saw that man beating you. I called the
police.

No.

Liz, you didn't see anything.

I understand.

But I saw him.

No.

Not a word. Not a word to anyone.

Don't tell Tori.

Please.

The FBI.

A Quinn Martin production.

Starring Ephraim Zimbalist Jr.

Also starring Philip Abbott, William
Reynolds, with guest

stars John Davidson, Catherine Justice,

Lyndon Childs, Richard O 'Brien.

Tonight's episode, Judas Goat.

In the early morning hours of October
13th, Indianapolis police, acting on an

anonymous telephone tip, discovered
Kenneth Keno Donnelly, a talent agent,

beaten one block from a night spot
called the Rag Doll, said to be

organized crime.

When it was learned that Donnelly had
been seen only moments before with Paul

Wadsworth, an influential mobster and
loan shark.

The FBI moved into the case and began an
investigation under the extortionate

credit transaction statute.

Up to now, Wadsworth hasn't made a wrong
move.

Well, he has this time.

What do you have to go on, aside from
the fact he was seen a couple of times

with Donnelly?

That, plus the word of an informant who
says it was one of his lieutenants who

put Donnelly in the hospital.

Does he know which one?

Unfortunately, no.

Donnelly was in debt to Wadsworth.

Yes, according to the informant, he owed
Wadsworth $3 ,200.

And was behind on the payments.

I'd like to talk to Donnelly as soon as
possible, Arthur.

All right, Lewis, get right on it.

I once had a fairy gut, Mother.

It looked just like you, Liz.

That was me, you old darling.

Tori?

When the doctor told me you'd be all
right, I figured I'd let him get his

But he's on his way.

He doesn't know what happened.

Keno, if I told him some big gorilla
chased you and beat up on you... You

tell the cops about him.

No, not yet.

Liz, promise me something.

Promise you you'll forget what you saw.

The whole thing.

Keno, if you're in trouble, Tori and I
are... That goes for Tori, too.

You know how this kind of thing can
throw him.

Promise, huh?

Our secret?

You better get your rest.

Where were you when I was 25?

Why'd you wait so long to call me?

What's going on?

Listen to him.

So many questions.

But are you really okay?

Some bruises and scratches and... I'll
be out of here

in no time at all.

How'd it happen?

An accident.

A dumb accident.

I must have...

Slipped or something.

Went down like a ton of bricks.

Something was bugging Keno. He just
wasn't himself.

Maybe they have him on some sort of
medication.

Aye. Hope I'm not breaking up anything.

My name is Paul Wadsworth. How do you
do, sir?

Yes, I saw you talking to Kino the other
day.

This is Liz Cavella. She does my
arranging and my special material.

Hi.

You can both consider me a fan.

Thank you so much, though. As a matter
of fact, I'd like to get your autograph

on a management contract.

Oh, well, you know I'm signed with Kino.

Yeah, I know that, but it's not going to
get you a demo record or a TV show.

Or the moon.

That's what you're after, isn't it?

Yeah, but a contract is a contract. And
a contract is supposed to apply to

both parties, right? I mean, you're
holding up your end of the deal.

What's Donnelly doing? Is he coming
through for you?

Yeah, but it takes time. How much time
are you willing to give it, Tori?

You don't understand.

Keno is not just a manager. He's family.

Is that what you want, more relatives?

Tori... Maybe it's time.

We'll discuss it with Keno.

Thank you very much. Sure.

He might surprise you.

Talk to you later. Goodbye, Miss
Corvallis.

It's gotten so complicated all of a
sudden.

I started out wanting to write songs and
sing them for people.

Look, I know Keno's a dead end for me. I
know that.

But... Tori, you can love him just like
I do.

But you don't owe him anything.

I know.

You're right.

Let's talk about it later, huh? Okay.

Tori, I'm with you.

Whatever you decide.

That's it.

The police say the caller who directed
them to Donnelly hung up before they got

a name.

Was it a man or a woman?

They couldn't be sure, but it sounded
like a woman.

Now, we've checked the cashier and two
of the cocktail waitresses who work at

the Ragdoll.

And we're also tracing the musicians who
were there that night.

Was Donnelly able to describe the
attacker?

No, he insists the whole thing was an
accident.

All right, Frank, we'll keep in touch.

Mr. Donnelly?

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

FBI?

I had an accident.

I just have to look where I'm running
next time.

I think we've got a pretty good idea
what happened to you last night.

What?

Who beat you up.

What beat up?

I was jogging.

I ran into a bus stop bench.

Did it have Paul Wadsworth's name on it?

Whatever you're looking for, I don't
have it.

Mr. Donnelly, don't you understand we're
trying to help you?

Help me?

You know something?

Once I figured on retiring at 50.

Now, four years later, I'm just this
close to being a welfare case.

You want to help me?

Find the last 30 years.

I must have misplaced them someplace.

All right, Donnelly.

Think about it.

Yeah? Hello, Keno.

I heard about your accident.

Anything I can do to help?

That last price you mentioned on
Torrey's contract.

That was firm, you know.

Okay.

You bought yourself a star.

Just treat him like one.

Taxi ought to be here any minute.

Albuquerque. How about a lift to the
airport?

The bus depot. Okay.

Keno got Tori a week's guarantee in
Albuquerque.

How does two weeks in Chicago sound?

With options.

At the Blue Guitar.

I've decided not to decide anything
until Keno gets out of the hospital.

Keno changed his mind, Tori.

I bought your contract.

He wouldn't do that.

They let him out of the hospital about
an hour ago.

He's got a lot of money now. He's got
just about enough money to do anything

he's ever wanted to do.

I can't believe it.

Well, you know Keno's signature?

Sure I do.

He sold me out.

Keno sold me out.

Lousy money. I never knew it meant that
much to him.

What's the matter, Tori?

You're not afraid of being a star, are
you?

I mean, I'm flying in an accompanist for
you. We have bookings in New York, San

Francisco, Los Angeles.

First class all the way.

I'd never go anywhere without Liz.

She's already on the payroll.

I formed a company. It's called
Continental Entertainment, Inc.

Also, I can loan you that money you
wanted, up to $25 ,000.

$25 ,000?

You know what? Publicity and
photographs, copyists and all that cost

money. I mean, it's going to take at
least that much just to get your show on

the road, right?

Well, we can charge it to my expired gas
credit card.

Anyway, I know you're broke, so 25 is
just a little side deal between you and

me. All it takes is your signature on a
personalized loan.

Routine, 5 % a month.

You yourself are going to loan me $25
,000.

Sure.

Of course, the people I do business with
play a little rough if you fall behind

in your payments, but I'm a good judge
of talent, Tori. I know you can make it.

Wait a minute. Stop right there.

You're going to loan me $25 ,000, and
it's at 5%. And what's about people

playing rough?

Look, I'm not a businessman. I don't
know a thing about percentages.

So why don't you just let me take care
of everything, all right?

Hop in. We're flying to Chicago.

I knew it would happen.

Harper Morris?

Who are the FBI?

Not an easy man to find, you know that?

Why not?

Most men have trouble finding
themselves.

Some of your friends at the Ragdolls,
you usually camp that around here.

Yeah.

Mr. Morris?

Harper.

Well then, Harper, what do you know
about the beating Keanu Donnelly took?

That was Indianapolis.

Yeah.

I must have picked up on that someplace.

You knew he was worked over, didn't you?

Yeah, I heard about it.

I didn't see it, though.

Did you hear about a woman who might
have called the police?

Yeah.

Yeah, I remember Liz.

She was on the phone when I was leaving.

She's a friend of Keno's.

Liz who?

Liz Corvellis.

Tori's chick.

Yeah, I was just splitting when she
rushed out of the phone booth.

Then I saw her take off up the street.

Man, that chick sure could wrap herself
around a lyric.

You saw her call?

Scout's on it.

Well, thanks, Moss.

Harper. Yeah.

In the early morning rain There's a
dollar in my

hand With an aching in my heart

And my pocket full of sand

I'm a long way from home And

I miss my loved one so In the early
morning rain

Big 707 said go.

Well, I'm standing on the grass where
the cold winter wind

blows.

Well, the liquor tasted good and the
women all were

fine.

Well, there she goes.

We'll be right back.

in my hand with an agent in my heart

and my hockey full of fans I'm

alone

eating his heart out.

What?

Well, he blew 10 % of what I'm making
when he sold the contract to Wadsworth.

I used to think he was a pretty smart
guy.

Maybe he didn't have a choice.

What are you talking about?

What do you mean by that?

You made him promise not to tell.

Tori...

I was the one that phoned the police
when that creep was chasing him.

Chasing Keno?

Where? What are you talking about?

In Indianapolis.

I saw Keno running from some guy.

You mean that was no accident?

The guy was roughing Keno up?

Keno was so uptight, I agreed to keep
his promise not to tell anyone.

It didn't seem to matter till tonight.

Yeah? Go on.

I saw him again.

The guy that chased Keno?

He was in the club tonight talking to
Mr. Wadsworth.

Oh, I see.

That never did sit right.

The whole thing about Keno selling me
out.

Here I've been putting him down. I've
been writing Keno off.

Liz, you should have leveled with me.

Keno made it sound like I'd be helping
you if I kept quiet. How could that

possibly help me? By selling me out to a
couple of high -class hustlers?

Liz, my name is on Wadsworth's contract,
and you did everything but hold the

pen.

That's not fair.

I didn't even know what Wadsworth was.
I'm still not even sure.

And you didn't fight very hard, because
he's the man that's picking the plums

off and handing them to you.

Or tell me you don't dig making it big.
Tell me you don't eat up that applause.

I was happier before.

We both were.

Tori. You sold me out.

You sold me out to Wadsworth and his
sharks.

Tori, one favor to a thick old man?

One secret?

I've lost Keno.

All I ever had was you and him.

I don't have anybody.

That's not true.

Tori, I love you.

Don't lock me out.

You did that yourself, babe.

You did it yourself.

I hope you get everything you want.

Lewis, we've got a break in the
Wadsworth case.

The New York office reports a talent
manager named Ike Stromberg was

last night. He decided to cooperate with
us.

It was bound to happen sooner or later.

Well, he admitted he was in pretty deep.
Couldn't keep up with the interest

payments. Did he say who worked him
over?

Yes. Michael Ribble. He's one of
Wadsworth's loan sharks and enforcers.

You mean he implicated Wadsworth?

No, he wouldn't go that far.

But the U .S. attorney has authorized
the arrest of Ribble for violating the

extortionate credit transaction statute.

Lewis, have you been able to locate Liz
Corvallis?

Tom has something on that.

Yes, sir. It seems that she no longer
works for Torrey Hughes.

She just dropped out of sight.

But we've located an older brother who
may be able to give us a lead on her.

The Los Angeles office is checking on
that, Arthur.

All right.

Let me know what you develop.

What's wrong?

I'm not happy with that balance.

Better check with the recorder. I'll be
right back.

Okay. Take your time.

Sounds like you're cooking up another
winner, Torrey.

I didn't know you were in town.

Yeah, I just flew in.

There's something I'd like to talk to
you about.

Really? Yeah, it's business stuff.

Like what?

Like $25 ,000.

I want to pay you off.

I want out of my contract.

Well, I'll tell you what.

We're going to have to get together with
Mr. Bannister.

You've heard me talk about Stacy
Bannister, my business partner in

Entertainment? Yeah, yeah.

He has a house in Palm Springs, so we'll
go down there.

wrap a little bit and then if you still
want out of your contract, so be it.

Okay?

Knock them dead.

I had some really great times here when
I was a kid. I guess I came back looking

for them.

Are you sure you don't want some coffee?

No, thanks.

No, thank you.

Old houses are so sad.

They die like people. We just don't have
the decency to bury them.

Yes, Inspector, this is the man who beat
up Keno.

Also the man I saw talking to Wadsworth
in the blue guitar in Chicago.

What else can you tell us about
Wadsworth?

I know that Keno tried to borrow money
from him to promote Tory, but he didn't

get it.

What about Tori?

How much do you think he owes Wadsworth?

I'm in love with Tori.

Right now, it's... You know, we've split
up.

But things change.

You know, we're really on the same side.

We're trying to help Tori, too. I hope
you realize that.

Tori... Signed a personal note to
Wadsworth, $25 ,000.

That was to cover the cost of costumes,
pictures, publicity, copyists, the whole

scene. Is he in a position to pay it
back?

I don't know.

There's a lot coming in, but most of it
goes right back out again.

Business managers, wardrobe, traveling
expenses, hotel bills, commissions. I

just don't know.

Just under three, Mr. Bannister.

Hey, that's wonderful.

Yeah. Well.

Torrey, huh?

I have looked forward to this. Torrey,
this is Casey Bannister. How do you do,

sir?

Torrey, what's your pleasure here?

A glass of ice water would do it. Oh,
good.

Something tall and cool, right? Yes,
sir.

Torrey, come on.

Paul here tells me a few things on your
mind, huh?

Yeah.

It's about the $25 ,000 at 5%. Mr.
Bannister, I want to close out my

management contract with CEI.

Oh?

Well, Paul, you haven't been mistreating
our boy, have you?

No, sir.

I'm afraid your arithmetic is a little
rusty here, Torrey. This check is...

Well, that's impossible.

Look, I'm paying back the loan, plus
interest, 5 % a year. But our deal is

% a month.

That's what you were told.

That's what you signed.

Look, I'm not a businessman. I don't
know anything about interest or loans.

If it's more than that...

It adds up fast. The monthly compounding
gets you every time.

Just tell me how much it is.

I'm afraid you couldn't pay it anyway,
Torrey.

I make good money.

Just tell me how much it is. I'll write
you a check.

You don't have that much money in your
personal account.

And your commercial account requires a
few other signatures.

Well, then get them.

You get them. Look, I want out.

Torrey.

We represent you as booking agent,
personal manager, public relations

My own investment counseling service
handles your money.

We have you contracted to our own label.

Now, I don't want to bore you with all
of this, but the fact is, Torrey, we own

75 % of you and control most of what's
left over.

So, uh, read the small print.

Maybe you'd like a little something
stronger than water.

What you got under the hood?

A motor.

Yeah?

Well...

I guess if you want something done
right, you got to do it yourself.

The informant was right, Inspector.

Ribble pulled in just a few minutes ago.

Let's go.

FBI, Ribble.

ambulance. Hey, hey, listen.

What's going to happen to my car?

Huh?

Call me sooner. I couldn't find you. You
couldn't lose me.

You got out just in time.

You make it sound like prison.

That's exactly what it is.

Tori, it's all my fault.

You're the hardest ticket in the
business. They can't just push you

Listen, this Continental Entertainment
thing, you wouldn't believe how powerful

it is.

I mean, Wadsworth and some super big
shot, Stacy Bannister.

They're going around signing up the
biggest names in the business.

Well, can't you warn them off?

I'm the guy that gets them to sign up.

Oh, no.

I can't get out of it. I don't know how
to get out. If I make a move...

Victoria, the FBI came to see me.

They wanted me to identify the man who
beat up Keno.

And I did.

Maybe if you went to him.

Did you hear what happened to Steve
Zumi? Did you read about it?

He's a sweet guy.

But that was no accident, Liz.

He signed up, and then he said he was
going to go talk to the cops.

I wish I knew where his keynote was. I
wish I knew where he was.

You can't find him?

No.

Then I will. Come on.

over a scratch.

You know you have the right to remain
silent.

That anything you say can be used
against you and you have the right to

attorney.

If I want one.

Look, I told you, I've got nothing to
say.

Not even about Ike Stromberg's trip to
the hospital?

I have nothing to say.

You think your boss will back you up?

My boss?

Paul Wadsworth?

Look, you guys make the case if you can.

I'm not going to help you.

You know, Troy, Mr. Bannister feels
that... I must say, I agree with him

country and western group would give the
big rock concert the balance it needs.

Right. Well, whenever you're talking
country and western, that means

flock, right?

And they're not signed with CEI, right?

Well, Tori, we kind of figured that
maybe a little sweet talk from you would

enough to convince Shepard's flock to
join the concert. Look, suppose my sweet

talk has just gone sour.

Somebody had to finger Mike Ribble.

I had a hunch it might have been Liz.

Now, I like Liz, Tori. As a matter of
fact, I miss seeing her around.

She's still all right, isn't she?

I just don't know about Shepard's flock.
I mean... I mean, talking him into the

rock concert... Try, Tori.

Is it my life dependent on it?

Your life.

I own too much of.

Yes?

Oh, Mr. Bennis, sir.

It's nice to hear from you, sir.

Torrey just left.

Then it's all worked out?

Yes, sir. I think we can count on
Shepard's flock for the concert.

Good.

That Torrey Hughes really paid off.

On demand.

If you're worried about some sort of a
riot at the big rock concert that

Continental Entertainment's staging, why
don't you go talk to them about it?

Tori, you know who's behind Continental.

No, I don't.

How deep are you into what's with Tori,
do you know?

Me? Look,

I make so much money that I don't have
time to count it.

I mean, why would I want to go borrowing
it?

Because he needed $25 ,000.

Why are you guys picking on me?

I mean, CEI must have 50 artists under
contract.

They're all pretty happy, aren't they,
Inspector?

They've all got wheels.

They've all got bread in their pockets.

They've all got albums that are selling
in the millions.

I mean, why would any of us be all shook
up over some mythical garbage about

organized crime? That's ridiculous.

Then you're not going to have any
trouble paying it back?

Why don't you tell us about it?

I wish I'd never gotten into this whole
thing.

I'd much rather be sweating out two
weeks in Albuquerque.

You know, you aren't helping the story.
You aren't helping yourself.

Hey, man, I can't.

Besides, what good would it do?

A guy can't just start all over again,
can he?

Some people have.

Hello. Tori, I found him. Keno.

Can you get away?

I'm not sure. They're watching me like a
hawk.

If I... Tori, you still there?

Yeah, doll.

Yeah, sure.

Don't try and con me, Tori. I know
you're not sleeping. I was...

Sure,

I made myself scarce.

I knew that Wadsworth was tied in with
the mob, and I handed you over to him.

You were afraid of him?

I was, but not anymore.

Tori, when you and me were working
together, I was alive.

Now, this room is my world.

It's like a... Well, if I'm already
buried, what can Wadsworth do to me?

There's nothing left for me but... but
up.

We're gonna work something out.

The two of us.

Together?

Yeah. The way it was supposed to be.

Keno, I... Hey, I'm sorry for the things
I've been thinking about you.

I should have known that you were a
rotten judge of character.

You probably think I'm some kind of
sentimental slob.

Yeah, I got suckered, Mr. Wadsworth.

But I know where Torrey went.

Keno Donnelly's.

Well, together they just might get some
foolish ideas.

The timing that bothers me.

You mean with a rock concert opening
tomorrow and everything?

Sutter, I'm going to have to tell Mr.
Bannister about this.

Listen, I can get Torrey. No, no.

We'll do it another way.

A better way.

She's not here, Tony.

Oh, I almost forgot. I'm giving a little
party after the concert this evening.

I'll expect to see you there.

I guess that's about it, Inspector.

Thank you.

Tom Cooley, U .S. Attorney.

Mr. Donnelly, would you mind waiting
outside a moment while we have your

statement typed up?

Listen, I... Have you heard from Torrey?

No, why?

We were supposed to meet downstairs at 8
o 'clock. When he didn't show, I came

up alone.

I told Torrey to get Liz off someplace
where she'd be safe from them.

Go on.

Look, Inspector, I'm worried.

These guys are smart.

Wadsworth, he could have gotten to Liz
first.

Oh, he's about to come on. You behave
yourself and we'll both get to see him.

Suppose I don't go on.

Then what are you going to do, kill me?

No, not yet.

I love them.

I came for

God. God.

covered from his wounds, and along with
Michael Ribble, Stacy Bannister, and

other members of the gang, was convicted
in federal court of violating the

extortionate credit transaction statute.

Wadsworth and Ribble were also found
guilty of assaulting federal officers.
