Margaret?

Margaret?

Hello?

Professor Scott, I'm sorry I didn't
catch you before you left, sir, but... I

just had a call from our friends.

Listen, it's late and I'm rather tired,
so... They're in Baltimore, sir. They're

waiting for us now.

They're quite anxious.

Do you have your notes?

Yes. All right, my boy. I've got them.

Where do they want me to meet them?

All right, I'll be there as soon as I
can.

I thought about it. for a long time and
feel this

is the best thing for both of us.

When I fell in love so long ago with
this other man, I never dreamed it would

come to this.

Ernest Malloy?

Yes? We're special agents of the FBI.

We have a warrant for your arrest,
charging you with espionage against the

United States.

Tonight's episode, The Hunters.

On the night of October 4th, Ernest
Malloy, a scientist employed by the

Research Corporation, was arrested by
the FBI on charges of espionage.

Malloy, a special assistant to DeSales
Corporation director Frederick Oliver

Scott, had been identified as a member
of a communist espionage ring. But what

the FBI was about to learn was that the
penetration of the DeSales Corporation

had reached even higher levels.

The arrest of Malloy became the first
link in a chain of events which would

launch the FBI into one of the most
extensive and important espionage

investigations ever conducted in Bureau
history.

I have to view this whole thing as an
attack on the scientific community.

Mr. Malloy, we have a record of all your
trips to Montreal beginning last year.

Does that represent some kind of
violation of the law?

We also know about the trips from the
Eastern Zone to Montreal by your

an enemy intelligence agent who's just
been arrested by the Royal Canadian

Mounted Police.

Contact? What contact?

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

I think this says it all.

It might be easier if you just told us
how it happened.

began almost three years ago at a
cocktail party.

I was introduced to a businessman named
Carol Schumann.

Mr. Schumann is a very friendly,
elegant, sophisticated man, and we

friends.

It was just after my divorce, and Carol
knew a lot of eligible young women

in Washington and New York. He picked up
the checks?

Yes, some rather large ones.

The night we took Fred Scott and his
wife to dinner, the check was well over

$200. Is that the scientist?

Yes. Frederick Oliver Scott.

He's Schumann's prize catcher.

Didn't you know that?

I think it's more important that you
tell us what you know.

Well, Professor Scott has a new
brainchild.

Its code name is Operation Guardian.

Roughly, it's a thermonuclear alert
system.

that represents a rather unique
application of special photography

are already available.

How much of this has he given to
Schumann?

Nothing as yet.

But he should be meeting with him right
about now, with the full details.

Where?

Suite 618, Hotel Lee in Baltimore.

Hello?

Tell Malloy and your friend I can't make
the meeting after all.

What are you talking about?

We've been waiting for you for more than
an hour. We've just had a newsflash

that Malloy has been arrested.

I didn't know.

Are you sure?

Where are you?

I'm at the depot. I have to go to New
York.

Well, I'll meet you there then.

No, that's impossible.

It's a personal matter.

Just a second. Fred! Look, I barely have
time to catch the last express.

I'll call you when I get things
straightened out.

I want you on the next plane to New
York.

Me? Surely our people in New York can
handle it. No, I have no one anywhere

has become as close to Frederick Scott
as you.

No one who knows his habits, his haunts.

I want you to check every place and
everyone.

Schumann?

Find him.

It was my day off.

I just got back an hour ago, and both
Mr. and Mrs. Scott were gone.

And you think they left separately?

I can't be positive, but that is the
pattern I'm used to.

Mr. Scott is a very important scientist,
Inspector.

His life is his work, his colleagues.

He goes to London or Vienna like I go to
the grocery store.

But usually without his family, his wife
and his daughter.

Seemed to work out better that way.

Karen, of course, is in school now.

I have a number.

It's a private college in Michigan.

I'll get it.

Of course.

I believe it was a going away to school
that increased Mrs. Scott's loneliness.

The problems they were having.

What sort of problems?

Well, Mr. and Mrs. Scott were together
very seldom.

Distance, you might say.

Excuse me.

Scott residence.

Oh, one moment, please. It's for you,
Inspector.

Thank you.

Your skin.

All right, have them check back with the
hotel and see if either man ever

registered there before.

And we'll need complete descriptions.

Baltimore office says two men registered
in room 618 at the Lee Hotel last night

and left without checking out.

One of them fits the description Malloy
gave us of Schumann.

The other sounds like European.

What about Scott?

This is Karen's address and phone
number.

And I just found this besides a
telephone.

That is the flight that Mrs. Scott
always takes.

Do the Scotts have an apartment in New
York?

No, not anymore.

But she does have a sister, Marie.

Yes?

Yes, I can hear it.

Hello, Marie.

Oh, for heaven's sake. Sorry to disturb
you so early in the morning.

Well, I could have guessed for a week
who was knocking on the door and never

come up with your name.

Margaret should have phoned and told me
you were coming.

I was hoping Margaret might be here.

Here?

What's the matter?

When did you talk to her last?

Well, I don't know. Sometime last week.

I want the truth, Marie.

Well, you won't even get a cup of
instant coffee with that tone of voice.

I told you the truth.

I'm sorry.

I guess we haven't been very close in
the last few years, you and I.

Close? I'm surprised you even knew your
sister -in -law was still alive.

Well, I need your help now.

I need to know if Margaret has contacted
you at all in the last few days.

What she may have said, what she may
have been feeling.

She isn't sick.

No, she's not sick.

But on some irrational impulse, she...
She seems to have left me for another

man.

Does that surprise you so much?

Well, what does that mean?

I'm just surprised it didn't come
sooner.

What did you expect?

You're such a busy big shot. I see you
on TV coming out of all of those big

important meetings, or I read about you
with those big scientists and important

politicians. All right, my job takes up
a lot of my time, but... But she stayed

with you.

I'm sure she loved you.

And she's had Karen.

She's had what's known as the...

Perfect Washington marriage.

And now she's found herself a man, huh?

Well, I wonder what it's like for her.

I'm sorry, Fred. I didn't mean to be
cruel. Maybe... Well, maybe I can help

some way. If she calls me, I'll call you
here in New York.

I don't know where I'll be staying.

Tell me Fred, it's not just your pride
that's been hurt. You really want to

Margaret because you love her.

I understand we found Margaret Scott's
car at the airport.

We've alerted the New York office. Tom
and I are flying right up. Good.

The Baltimore office says Schumann never
went back to his house last night after

the leave hotel.

And there was no evidence of Scott
having been there.

Yet if what Malloy says is true, Scott
had every intention of going to

Baltimore. Until he found out his wife
is in New York.

Well, if we're looking for him, we can
assume Schumann's network is looking for

him, too.

And they'll offer him and his wife
asylum anywhere in Eastern Europe. So

got to find him first.

Scott has taken certain notes with him.
They're highly classified.

The notes need Scott's interpretation to
open up the full potential of Operation

Guardian. So what they really need is
what's in Scott's mind.

Can it be, Professor?

Hello, Max.

Long time.

Rye and soda.

Very light on the soda.

Never forget a man's drink, do you, Max?

Anybody can pour whiskey, Professor.

But a bartender remembers a man's drink.

I should have realized that.

Excuse me a minute, Max.

Yes, Max.

I didn't expect to be speaking to you so
soon again, sir, but believe it or not,

the party you inquired about just walked
in.

Well, we all follow patterns, don't we?

Where is he now?

Using the phone.

Good. I'll be there in a few minutes.

Just made yourself a nice piece of
change, Max.

Hello?

Karen?

I'm glad I caught you.

I was just on my way to class. What a
surprise, Daddy.

Well, I... I've been meaning to call you
for some time, but I... Well, there's

been a lot of pressure here, and... Are
you at home?

No, I'm not.

I'm in New York City.

As a matter of fact, that's why I
called. I... Something has come up.

Is Mother with you?

No, she's not.

She flew into New York yesterday.

I'm trying to reach her, Karen.

It's rather important.

Try the Maurice.

I've been there.

She might be at the Southwick, then. We
sometimes stay there.

Southwick. All right, I'll try that.

Uh, Karen, when you and your mother came
to New York, you went to the theater a

lot, didn't you? The opera and the
ballet and so on?

Well, sure, always.

Mm -hmm.

Um, just the two of you, was it?

Well, I do know a few boys, Dad.

What about Mother?

Is there anyone I can call?

Well, if Bill McGrath was free and
sober, he used to go to the theater with

quite a bit.

Does Bill still live in the village?

I've got to go. I'll call you again
soon.

When I get back, we'll spend some time
together.

I'd like that.

I miss you, Daddy.

Always.

Three dollars, cover it, Max.

Good morning, General Lee.

But you're not leaving already?

Yes, I'm in kind of a hurry.

Nice seeing you, Max.

But, Professor, let the hotel buy you a
drink.

Some other time. I haven't had a chance
to ask about the family. Family's fine,

Max.

West 6th Street. I think the apartment's
called the Christopher's.

Come back any time, sir.

Malloy says this is a very good likeness
of Schumann.

He must have spent months studying
Scott.

From what you said on the phone, he
doesn't seem to have much in the way of

we'd call conventional weaknesses.

His reputation's impeccable.

None of the usual motives seem to apply
here.

There's no history of any association
with the Communist Party, no scandal

would invite blackmail, not plenty of
money.

So what was the lever?

How did they get to him?

Well, we have an address for Scott's
sister -in -law.

Is that why he came to see you?

Yes. I told him I was amazed Margaret
hadn't left him sooner.

Do you happen to know the man's name?

No, she would have been discreet about
something like that.

Where would either one of them be likely
to go now? I don't know.

No friends they might contact?

Well, there were plenty of friends at
the beginning.

But then, well, after Fred became so
successful, there was never any time for

old friends.

Or even family. I hardly saw it myself.

What about your sister?

Yes, it's possible.

She had plenty of time on her hands. She
needed friends.

Does anyone in particular come to mind?

Let me see.

Phil McGrath.

Fred's closest friend all through
college.

They both were supposed to have
brilliant futures.

Fred went up, Bill went downtown,
selling books in his shop there.

But I don't think Fred even knows he's
still alive.

What are you doing? It took me quite a
while to find the place, Bill.

Well, just so you did.

Sit down.

Try to ignore the debris.

Well, glad I took the day off. Well, I
haven't much time. I think you know why

I'm here.

Let me try to guess.

First, I'll need a drink.

The other glass is for Margaret, I
presume.

Margaret?

No, it's for my landlady.

Sometimes she drops up... All right,
look, Bill, let's quit the kidding,

we?

You took the day off because Margaret is
in town.

You went down to buy the scotch and
she... Where is she?

Down at the corner grocery buying the
bread and cheese?

It's all very romantic, isn't it?

Are you crazy? You're the old friend
she's been in love with all these years.

This is what she wants, huh?

A drunken failure living in a rat trap
like this.

What am I supposed to do? Sit still for
it?

You're not worth killing.

It's nice to have an objective,
scientific appraisal of myself.

Especially from such a dear old friend.

Fred, we're going to be a little
embarrassed by this.

I haven't seen Margaret in a month. I
don't believe that.

She did call last night from the
Southwick.

I was a little smashed.

I did ask her to have dinner.

But she said she was just passing
through.

Who was she with?

Why would she tell me?

But she said they were passing through.

She rambled quite a bit. I could tell
that she was disturbed.

I asked her if there was anything I
could do, and she said no.

Then something about a trip.

Where? Where were they going?

A name like the Hermitage?

The Heritage.

Fred, you were going to use that gun on
me.

Now you want to use it on her, and
someone who loves her, wants to see her

happy. I have the same feelings as any
other man.

You mean you can be jealous and
possessive and furious when something's

away that belongs to you?

I'm sorry I threatened you, Bill.

I'm flattered that you think I could be
that important.

In a way, I wish I had been the one.

I didn't realize things had gone so
badly for you.

You've earned your success.

I worked at my failure.

Freddy, was it necessary to drive away
the old friends quite so obviously?

There must have been a dozen times I
happened to be in Washington. I phoned

And after trying to get through five or
six...

assistants and secretaries.

I just leave a number.

You never call back.

I'm sorry, Bill.

Carol, how did you know where I was?

That's not important, Fred. The
important thing is that I found you and

help you. That's impossible.

I have to find Margaret. Where is she? I
don't know where she is. She may still

be at the Southwick or going on to the
Heritage. Look, I have to talk to her,

that's all.

Afterwards, I'll call you and we'll
arrange a meeting.

Surely, as a friend, you can understand
that.

Now, Fred, you're going with me now. Get
your hands off me, Schumann!

Don't try to get up. I'll call an
ambulance. Just take it easy now.

Did you get a good look at the man he
shot?

Yes. And I can tell you his name.

I heard Fred say, get out of my way,
Schumann.

Does this look like the man?

Yes, it does.

Was he badly wounded?

I think so. It all happened so fast.

I'll have the office alert hospitals
about that gunshot wound.

Do you have any idea where Scott went
from here?

After his wife, Margaret.

I guess I shouldn't have said anything,
but I told him that she had called here

last night and that she might still be
at the Southwick or a place called The

Heritage. I'd never heard of it, but
Fred seemed to know it very well.

Inspector, could I ask what the charge
is against Fred?

Espionage.

Espionage.

Now he almost killed somebody.

All my adult life, I thought Fred was
lucky.

Because once he made up his mind he
wanted something, he let nothing stand

his way.

Even those he loved.

I envied him, that drive, that force.

I wouldn't trade places with him for
anything.

Say, my wife checked out of here around
noon today.

This is rather an old photograph, but do
you happen to recognize her? Yes, I put

her in a cab to Grand Central somewhere
around, oh, one o 'clock.

Do you remember if there was anyone with
her?

No, it was awful crowded during the
lunch hour.

All right.

I'd like a cab, too, please. Yeah.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good day, sir.

Can you take me up to Greenbrier?

Greenbrier?

Man, that's Connecticut.

Maybe 50 miles.

Are you saying you won't take me up
there?

Oh, no, Jack. No, no, sir.

It's your bankroll.

I'll leave that flag down till we hit
Montreal, if that's what you want to

your money for.

But I'll have to check with my
dispatcher.

All right, check with him.

Greenbrier.

You know, that used to be a big resort
area. A lot of wealthy people used to go

there. But them days are gone.

Yes, I'd say they were.

Hello?

It is Schumann, sir.

Carol?

Where are you? What's happened?

I'm in a phone booth.

I've been shot.

By whom?

Scott.

I found him at a friend's apartment in
the village.

He's armed. He's looking for his wife
and a boyfriend.

I don't think I can go much further.

Where is Scott now?

He's on his way to a small lodge near
Greenbrier, Connecticut, called Williams

Retreat.

One of the cabins at the lodge is called
The Heritage.

And you're sure that's where he's going?

Yes. The Southwick Hotel was mentioned.

I called there just now, but she's
checked out.

It's getting more painful, George.

Scott himself told you about this
heritage cabin?

Yes.

I drove there once for a meeting, but he
cancelled it later.

Very good, Carol. Very good.

Now, do you think you can make it here?

Or shall I send someone for you?

I'll be there in a few minutes.

Doctor, a private plane.

Gregory, you will stay here. When
Schumann arrives, make him comfortable

sedate him heavily. Then wait for my
call.

What have we got here?

He collapsed on the street a few blocks
from here.

It's a gunshot wound.

You know, we received an alert from the
FBI a little while ago. This may be the

man. Oh, you better call him.

Okay.

Nice country, huh?

Yes, very.

That last turnoff, didn't that...

Road lead to a lake?

You got me, buddy.

I'm sure there is.

I used to go boating there when I was in
college.

Oh, yeah?

Sometimes there'd be 10 or 15 couples
out on the lake all at the same time.

You, uh... You planning on meeting
somebody?

Yes, why?

Well, before we get there, we could stop
at a gas station or something.

You could clean up a bit.

Well, you look kind of like... like
maybe you had it.

All right.

Thank you.

Thanks very much.

When I found out what had happened, I
took the first plane here.

You haven't found either of them yet?

Karen, have you ever heard your mother
or father mention a place called The

Heritage?

Yes.

It had a special sort of meaning for
them.

I think they used to vacation there or
something.

Do you know where it is?

Somewhere in Connecticut, I think. But
I'm not even sure that's the name of a

place. I always got the feeling it was a
special cab in her house.

Excuse me.

Whatever my father's done, Inspector,
please try to understand.

I love them both so very much, and
there's nothing I can do.

If my father's guilty of anything, it's
for believing that his judgment was so

much better than anyone else's.

My mother's, mine, people he works with.

His country's?

That's the whole key to my father.

Ego.

They must have found that key and
twisted it to give them what they

I can't excuse what he's done, but he's
still my father.

Just a moment, Karen.

Agents in Connecticut are working on the
heritage lead.

In the meantime, a local clinic just
responded to our alert on Schumann.

They report a man with a gunshot wound.
Matching Schumann's description was just

brought in.

It'll be all right.

I've got to go.

No, just relax now.

He'll sleep for a while.

We're with the FBI. We'd like to see the
man with the gunshot wound.

Right this way.

Too much.

You're alone, Mrs. Scott?

Who are you?

Where's the caretaker?

I called ahead and he said it would be
all right if... Mrs. Scott, it's not

important who I am. Come into the cabin,
please.

I don't understand. What is it you want?

I want you to do exactly as I tell you.

Let me explain that your life and the
life of your husband depend on that. On

absolute obedience.

Now come on in, please.

And you have the right to an attorney,
if you wish.

So... It's all over.

Not quite.

Do you know where Scott is?

Do I know where Scott is?

That's the question I asked.

Inspector, I can't believe you're that
naive.

I can only assume that you must think
that I am.

Why would you want to protect him after
what he's done to you?

Well, someday we'll sit down and have a
cozy chat about organizational

procedure. In the meantime, let's say I
don't choose to answer.

You'll have to figure that out for
yourself.

You don't understand, Mr. Schumann.

We know all about the heritage.

What we're interested in is your
possible involvement in his going there.

My involvement?

I haven't been in William's retreat for
years.

I haven't even been in Greenbrier.

Thank you, Mr. Schumann.

You've been most helpful.

Beautiful.

Yep.

Should cover it.

Oh, hey, thanks.

Yeah, thanks.

I want you to know that I appreciate
everything you've done.

Oh, well, yeah, well, you take care of
yourself, huh?

Have a label. I'll take the gun, Mr.
Scott.

You have very little time, Frederick.

It's a few hours' drive to the Boston
Harbor.

You'll be there well after dark.

I've made arrangements to have both of
you slipped aboard one of our

Fred, what is he talking about?

I don't know what he's talking about.
I'm not going aboard any freighter.

Really? He made what you call a deal.

I intend to see that you keep your
bargain.

Believe me, you'll have no reason to
regret it.

We offer you and your wife asylum.

And we offer you the honors of a
scientific community anxious to learn

May I speak with my wife alone, please?

Very well.

You can explain the necessity for both
of you to cooperate.

and the alternatives if you don't.

Well, there's no way out, Margaret.

No, I agree.

Perfectly capable of killing both of us
if we don't cooperate.

Does that matter so much now?

Margaret, please. I realize what I've
done. Not just this last terrible thing,

but all of it. All the years.

You've waited a long time.

I don't deny it.

How can I? It's in all your faces.

Marie's, Bill McGrath's, now yours.

I don't know.

I guess the truth is I thought I was
raised above everyone else, so much more

intelligent, more important.

I can't blame you for finding someone
else, reaching out to another human

Didn't you read the note I left you?

Of course I read it.

Who is he, Margaret?

Don't you know?

Why do you think I came here?

Where we spent our honeymoon.

He was the only man that I've ever
loved.

Me?

I felt guilty.

It stayed as long as I could.

They needed you at those meetings.

Doing all those important things.

You belong to the world.

And I told myself that was right.

No, Margaret, it wasn't right.

But I can't help remembering the time
when you belonged only to me.

Wanting that time back.

The time we had here.

You remember when we missed each other
so much.

After only a few hours apart.

Margaret, I'm so sorry.

And when Karen finally left and the
house was empty, I had to leave.

No, Margaret.

All these years.

It's time.

on to Unit 4 and 5.

The following major and secondary
highways should be covered.

I've reached a decision.

You set my wife free, and as soon as I
know she's safe, I'll go any way you

like. I'm touched by the apparent
reunion that's occurred between you two,

especially since you came here a few
minutes ago intending to kill her and

lover. That's none of your business,
Havlick. I disagree.

It's apparent now that once you knew
your wife was safe... You'd hold out,

unto the death, if necessary.

I think your wife will be quite valuable
when we reach asylum.

But she's not involved. Let's get
started.

Let's get out of here.

Well, you saved our lives, Inspector.

For my wife's sake especially, I owe you
a debt of gratitude.

May I see my family for a moment?

Certainly.

Would you come in, please?

know what to say.

That's kind of funny, isn't it, my not
having any answers?

Fred, if you ever need me... I do need
you.

Both of you.

It's just a pity I didn't realize that
simple fact before.
