I'm sorry to have to give it to you this
way, Rudy, but you see, you've got to

go back.

Richie's murder must be answered for.

What happened?

I was fingered for Kepler. That's what
happened.

That Rudy.

That old Rudy Kepler. He's something,
isn't he? I went in on this deal to get

Kepler.

So we missed.

So we got Richie, not him.

So we get him back into the country, so
then what?

Can't even get him to die at a cemetery.

There's no question about it, Arthur.

The fingerprints prove Kepler was in
that car.

Why, after a year, has he risked coming
back?

Could be a lot of reasons.

Maybe he just found out who killed his
brother. There's no place that anyone

could hide from you, is there?

Is that all you have to say?

My good friend Nick?

Picking up the rent where I left off?

All right, get it over with, but don't
hurt me. Don't let me feel pain.

Like my brother Richie felt no pain.

The FBI.

A Quinn Martin production.

Ephraim Zimbalist Jr., also starring
Philip Abbott and Shelley

Novak, with guest stars John Vernon,

Ark, James Gregory, Vic Mojica.

Tonight's episode, The Vendetta.

Rudy? Hey, Rudy!

Hey, Frankie, baby!

Junior!

Get some age.

Oh, what a surprise.

Like sunshine, a rainbow.

Hey, Rudy, these boys are yours. You
trained them pretty good.

We could have used them back in the
States, huh? They're well paid, too.

Henri and Pierre.

Hey, Pete, my friends. My family.

Extra blood relatives.

Seeing you guys like this makes me feel
alive again. You know, a year.

Yeah. That's a long time to be without
family.

You're a mess, sir, Rudy.

New Orleans isn't the same without you.

Well, you can thank Uncle Sam for that.

He almost buried me.

Rudy Kepler.

He's still alive.

And living good, eh?

On rape, yeah?

Fix some drinks.

Tonight we're gonna get drunk, eh?

You should have told me you were coming.
Well, I didn't know myself, Rudy. Just

one. Sure.

Nice place, eh?

Yeah, yeah.

Rudy, I gotta tell you.

Well, things ain't... Well, they're not
just how you think.

What? What isn't how I think?

Why are we here, Rudy?

Well, you said it's a surprise, eh? Like
a birthday party.

No, Rudy.

It's not that kind of a surprise.

All right.

Forget the birthdays.

They just bring you one year closer to
the end anyway.

Now you tell me.

What is what?

Rudy, it wasn't any government agency
people, no federal bureau that killed

brother.

You and Richie were set up. Nick Thomas
pulled the trigger.

Nick was next to flesh and blood.

He was almost as close to me as Richie.

Nick took your girl, Angie, got her to
sell you out.

Angie was the one that set you up.

You and Richie.

Set you right up, right in front of
Nick's guns.

Oh, he's come right out with it.

He admits it.

You know what?

Every day, little by little, he's
dipping into your take.

A lot of the boys are falling in line
behind him.

He's telling them.

You know what he's saying? You ain't the
head of the family anymore.

He says.

Who says?

He's doing it.

You know, a lot of the boys agree with
him.

They don't like the idea of paying you a
million bucks a year tribute while

you're laying around here doing nothing,
just sitting in the sun.

You got any proof?

Check it out.

Call one of the boys. You got a
telephone?

Not about that.

About Nick and Angie setting me up.
About killing Richie.

There we are.

What's this?

Nick, how many times do I have to tell
you? I don't care anymore about Rudy.

Just let him rot in Haiti. As long as I
have you, nothing else matters.

You sure about that, Angie?

I'm sure.

It's you I love.

That old bum.

I wish he could hear you say that.

I'd like to see that two -bit nothing
cut down to size.

I don't believe it!

That couldn't be Nick and Angie.

Do you remember Pidgey King, Rudy?

It took a lot of doing, but I got him on
his next bodyguard.

He planted the tape recorder, got the
tape back to me.

I don't believe it.

You've taken off a lot of convincing,
Rudy.

Jojo. Show him.

I'm sorry to have to give it to you this
way, Rudy, but you see, you've got to

go back.

Richie's murder must be answered for.

I'm going to make a call to New Orleans.

In one hour, the swamps will have him.

And the boys will be breaking their
necks to get back in the line.

What happened to you down here, Rudy?

We're talking about life and death, and
you're fooling around with some silly

doll.

Did the sun get to your head?

Which doctor gave me this?

He healed my wounds.

He said it would protect me against my
enemies.

You listen to me.

You forget about that silly doll and no
telephone calls.

You got to go back yourself.

You're the one that's got to make him
answer for Richie's death.

What are you doing now?

Goodbye, Nick.

He's paid to drive, that's all.

Knows nothing about my private business.

On the night of November 11, Rudy
Kepler, a syndicate boss, returned to

United States.

Kepler, a federal fugitive, was wanted
by the FBI for interstate flight to

prosecution for murder.

Earlier that same night, an informant
alerted the FBI in New Orleans that

was arriving by private plane somewhere
near New Orleans.

A search for the landing field was
launched.

When an apparent gangland shooting was
reported by the local police, Erskine

Special Agent Chris Daniels arrived at
the remote airstrip.

Inspector Erskine, FBI.

Guy was shot in the head, is all we know
of.

No idea of any kind on him. We found a
couple of cartridge cases, but no

What's his condition?

Bad. He's lost a lot of blood. It'll be
like the siren all the way, if he lasts.

Who discovered the victim?

We got a call from some hitchhiker. He
was going to use that shed over there

the night.

He found him.

Where is he now?

Over there, sir.

Uh, Inspector Erskine, FBI.

This is Special Agent Daniels.

I don't know anything.

It's dark.

I was looking for a place to sleep, and
I practically fell over his body. Did

you see or hear anything?

Well, that's all I know.

Thank you very much.

Well, it looks like Kepler landed here.

We'll keep the field under surveillance.

That man who was shot, I sure wonder how
he fits in.

He may talk if he winds up in the
hospital.

It's going to be a little difficult if
it's the board.

The hotel or the office?

18 Bourbon Street.

What's there?

A joint with a Creole named Lafayette.

How reliable is he?

That depends on his mood and the price.

He was running guns in South America. He
nibbled on both sides of the cake.

Maybe the time he did in the
penitentiary has curbed his appetite.

Hope he has a line of capital by now.

I didn't know about the airstrip.

Thank you.

Well,

you are going to invite me to sit and
have a drink with you, aren't you?

Well, if we weren't, it wouldn't really
help, would it?

Alphonse. My friends have invited me to
have a drink with them.

I trust you are here to celebrate
success.

We found the asterisk, if that's what
you mean.

But we came in second.

From a humble servant and to the cause
of justice in which he serves.

Somebody at that airfield stopped a
bullet.

You got any ideas?

I'll need some time to ask questions.

While you're asking, find out if Kepler
was really on that plane.

Want a lot for a drink?

You get that nose ears working and we'll
talk about it. Tell me something,

Inspector.

As it crossed your mind, it was Kepler
who was supposed to be lying on that

field, dead.

That's the rumor on the street.

The word is there is going to be a
bloodbath.

Take that now, Frank.

I'll give it back to you when I get on
that plane again.

I finished what I came here for.

I won't be needing this place anymore.

You can have it.

It's a gift.

You know, at least one thing hasn't
changed.

I wonder how Nick got a word on me so
quick.

I'm going to try to have me hit the
minute I get off the plane.

Well, you know this town, Rudy. For the
right money in the right place, word

travels fast.

There's no morality anymore.

Everybody can be bought these days.

I didn't thank you for what you did to
the field.

Ah, forget it.

It's just that I'm ashamed.

I'm embarrassed. I'm hurt to think that
Nick could get to one of my people.

You still move pretty fast for an old
dog.

All right, first things first, even
before business.

My brother, Richie.

Where is he?

He's buried, Rudy.

He was buried nice.

Under a tree, where it's always cool.

Fresh flowers every day.

I want to go to his grave, pay my
respects, kiss the stone where he lies.

And then I'll take care of the ones who
killed him.

Severe knife wound causing deep
penetration of the spleen.

Oh, gentlemen.

Kind of you to see a doctor.

This is Special Agent Daniels. I'm
Inspector Erskine.

How do you do?

I've been in surgery half the night.
This is the first break I've had. Can I

offer you some coffee?

No, thank you.

Well, let's see. You're here on that
gunshot case, bullet in the head.

Unfortunately, it's hard to keep track
of them on this floor these days.

Stabbings, gunshot wounds, you name it,
a jungle.

Oh, here you go.

on the table nearly five hours.

He's still in intensive care.

What would you like to know?

Did he say anything?

Afraid not, Inspector. He's been
unconscious all this time.

Is he going to make it?

Well, he's got a chance.

That bullet stopped that short of
entering his brain.

We removed it all right, but we still
don't know yet the extent of the damage.

Meaning? Meaning he may or he may not
regain consciousness.

remember anything that's the medical
picture right now and the police haven't

come up with a match on his prints and
neither has the identification division

what about the bullet extracted by the
police well the police still have it

their main evidence in an attempted
murder case when they're through with it

have them send it to the lab right away
i will

I get rid of those weeds.

Nick, he's like an animal. He's got no
respect for the dead.

Trying to make a hit here in a cemetery.

Okay, Nick, now I'll find you and put
you in your own grave.

Spread the word around.

I want him to know that.

Thank you.

It was Russell.

He's at the police garage.

A couple of hunters found a car in the
swamp, blood all over the seat, bullet

holes in the windshield.

You think it ties in the coupler?

He does.

Some bits of crushed bean plant inside
the car check out to be of the same

species from the bean field where the
victim was found shot.

This being the fact, we can also assume
that the car may have been in the field

when the shooting occurred.

Police checked with the NCIC.

It was a stolen car.

Driven across state lines.

There were two cartridge cases found in
the car.

Same type as the police found at the
field.

Also, a gun was found in the car.

They had a chance to examine it yet?

The lab's working on it now.

The gun had been altered and the serial
numbers filed off.

How about the bullet they took out of
the victim?

There's no report on that yet.

Well, where does that leave us?

With the driver.

Now, the wounded man and the driver may
be one and the same.

These bloodstains and the blood type I
got from the hospital match.

The police lifted prints off the
rearview mirror, the steering wheel, and

door trim.

All belong to the same person.

Not the wounded driver.

There's no question about it, Arthur.

The fingerprints prove Kepler was in
that car.

Why, after a year, has he risked coming
back?

Could be a lot of reasons.

Maybe he just found out who killed his
brother.

If we can find Kepler first, we can give
him a different kind of revenge.

We can give him an opportunity to blow
the lid off the whole New Orleans

organization.

Erskine, what have you come up with?

Nothing.

The street is a grave.

No one is talking or seeing.

All right, start with this.

Kepler's here in New Orleans.

Where do we find his girlfriend, Angie
Cameron?

The last I heard, she was living in the
French Quarter on Place Moulade.

She certainly moved out quickly, very
quickly.

How quickly is very quickly?

Two days ago.

Left all of her furniture.

Half of her clothes.

She was behind in her rent.

Spent it all on jewelry. You know the
time.

Did she happen to say where she was
going?

No. Did she have any visitors just
before she left?

I only manage this building.

Thank you.

Come to think of it, there was
something.

She was on the phone when I came into
the apartment to take the suitcases out.

When she hung up, she said... Goodbye,
Mother.

I don't even know why I should remember
it.

Everybody has a mother.

There's no place that anyone could hide
from you, is there?

Is that all you have to say?

My good friend Nick picking up the rent
where I left off?

All right, get it over with, but don't
hurt me. Don't let me feel pain.

Like my brother, Richie felt no pain.

Why did you do it?

You think I wanted to set you up?

It was Nick.

He told me if I didn't do what he
wanted, he'd make sure that every time I

looked into a mirror and saw my face,
I'd wish I were dead.

He made me believe that you couldn't be
saved, that you'd be caught.

The government would put you in prison
for the rest of your life.

And he hurt me.

You'll never know how he hurt me.

What he did to me.

I wish I was dead.

I understand.

It must have been terrible for you.

I always loved you, Rudy.

And where is he?

Where can I find him?

Please.

Where can I find him?

Please, Rudy.

You said you were sorry. You said you
couldn't help yourself. Now you tell me

where I can find him and then I'll know
how much you really love me.

I'm afraid.

Tell me.

All right.

I'm listening.

Every day at noon, he works out at a
health club.

Where? What health club?

John!

That's a good girl, Angie.

You don't have to worry.

Nick will never hurt you again. That's a
promise. My promise.

You get into trouble, you know where to
call me. The Lodge.

You know where that is.

And when you hear Nick is dead, I'll be
gone.

So let this be my last goodbye.

urgent, wants to see you right away.

10 -4, Lafayette.

It cost me more than a drink, Inspector.

But the word is that your fugitive
friend is on the hunt for Nick Thomas.

He's already staked out, waiting for
little Nick to surface.

Dominic's Health Club.

Merci, mon Dieu.

You'll keep getting in better shape
every day.

Yeah, got longevity running through you,
man. I can feel the vibes coming out of

your body.

Hey, you'll live to be at least 100.

Jojo, how did Nick get such big ideas?

It's the times, Rudy.

Things are changing.

Nobody wants to wait their turn anymore.

But in the years, like you and me, to
get to the top.

Yeah.

Remember when we made our move to take
over the DiCarlo operation?

You talk about a plan backfiring.

We staked him out for a month.

Knew every move the big ape took, even
what he brushed his teeth.

I'll never forget it.

7 .30 on a Sunday morning.

Now, sit.

We hit Takano now.

When he's alone and asleep like a baby.

We broke in the back door, raced up the
stairs, while the cops were coming in

the front door.

We made such a racket it gave the caller
time to get to the roof in nothing

flat. In his underwear.

That's right, in his underwear.

And the next morning, they blasted his
picture on the front page, being shoved

into the wagon in his polka -dotted
shorts.

It was some plan we made, Riddick.

We were young.

We moved too fast.

But it taught us a lesson, Giorgio.

Never make a move unless you know
exactly what you're doing.

That's what you used to tell Richie when
he got out of line.

I had such plans for that boy, Giorgio.

He was a smart kid.

He learned fast.

He would have taken over the
organization, made it even bigger.

That's what Nick was afraid of.

He knew he didn't stand a chance to be
number one as long as you and Richie

still in the picture.

In his back, Giorgio, Nick emptied his
clip in my

brother's back.

I pray there's a place where he'll burn
forever.

I'll drop you at your place.

There's something I gotta do on my own.

Time to keep...

Mr. Martinez has got a bad tick.

You ought to put him on tranquilizers.

Relax, Joey.

One jog around the block and I'll do you
good.

Oh, oh, oh. Hey, around the neck.

Soak up this one. Okay, boys.

Let's go.

You got a shot?

FBI.

Somebody just tried to pull Nicky
Thomas' head off.

Lee, I don't want you to think that I
had anything to do with it. Did you see

the gunman? I didn't see nothing.

I didn't hear nothing.

I don't know nothing.

Reminds me of the three monkeys.

In this part of town, mister, that's how
you stay alive.

I was fingered for Kepler, that's what
happened.

I nearly got my eyeballs shot out.

Somebody sold me out.

Somebody on the street.

Somebody on the inside, but somebody.

That Rudy.

That old Rudy Kepler, he's something,
isn't he?

You can never underestimate him. He's,
uh... I don't know, maybe he's got some

kind of magic.

Don't give me no magic talk.

I put my neck on the line with you a
year ago.

I went in on this deal to get Kepler.

So we missed.

So we got Richie, not him.

So we get him back into the country, so
then what?

Can't even get him to die at a cemetery.

Listen to me, Nick.

I listened to you a long time ago.

Zero.

So over a million dollars a year goes
down the drain to him.

And that should have stayed in our
pocket.

Nick, I told you. You got half my
action, haven't you?

Ah, you still got it. So come on, don't
panic.

You say.

You say don't panic.

I was set up, not you.

Yeah, yeah.

Nick, I tell you.

We send out Joey Martinez to buy off
them two bodyguards.

You're beautiful.

Yeah. Send out Joey Martinez.

Yeah. That's a beautiful idea.

I sent out Joey Martinez with 25 ,000
apiece.

Those two bodyguards to be back on that
plane from Haiti without Kepler.

And Joey came back.

And what did Joey say?

What did Joey say?

Still want to know what Joey said?

No.

Two bodyguards must have gone back to
Rudy and told him about us trying to

him off.

He's dead.

No matter what it takes.

He's dead.

This bullet was removed from the man
found at the airfield.

And this bullet was taken from Richie
Kepler's body.

As you can see, Both bullets were fired
from the same gun.

So it's a contract on Kepler or a move
to take over his operation.

Or both.

That means Frank Bonner or Nick Thomas.

Inspector, I've got Angie Cameron's
mother's address.

I'm always amazed.

You plant a seed in the earth and weeks
later, something grows into life.

I don't know if I've made myself clear,
Mrs. Cameron.

We're trying to find a federal fugitive
named Rudy Kepler.

We think your daughter knows where he
is.

You already said that, Inspector.

Well, then where is she, Mrs. Cameron?

Why, Angie?

The reason's obvious.

We know she was in touch with you just
before she left her apartment.

And that she left abruptly and hasn't
been back since.

I promised Angie I wouldn't tell anyone
where she is.

I've never broken a promise to Angie.

Not from the time she was a little girl.

You realize the possible consequences,
Mrs. Cameron.

I went all through this when Richie
Kepler got killed.

Don't you people ever give up? Don't you
ever stop hounding? A year and you're

still on me.

The case won't be closed until we find
his brother.

Not for me. You don't get him. He's got
a much better chance with us than with

Nick Thomas.

Look, I can't help you.

You know that harboring a federal
fugitive can make you an accomplice.

Leave me alone.

Please. Get out. Just get out.

Is that really what you want?

I'm not sure about anything anymore.
Just go.

Hello? Baby, it's Nick.

Nick, I can't... Don't argue.

You get Rudy out of his place.

You get him to where you are and keep
him there with you.

You keep him 20, 30 minutes and then you
get him back out there.

You understand?

I can't do that.

Oh, yes, you can.

What did I say?

You told me you were afraid to stay
alone.

Afraid to talk on the phone.

Nick... Please, haven't I done enough?

Do what I tell you.

He'll believe you.

All you have to tell him is somebody's
been watching the place, that maybe I

traced you.

You want to get away, get out.

I don't know if he still trusts me,
Nick.

He's always had a thing for you.

He'll buy what you say.

Just tell him you love him and make it
convincing.

Understand that?

You shall.

You know I love you.

You say things like that, makes me feel
young again.

I mean them.

Rudy, there's something I've got to tell
you now.

You already have.

You said you love me.

That's all I need to know.

So I got taken tonight, huh?

Must be saving another bullet in that
gun for me, Frank.

Don't bother to explain.

Must have hurt to see all that money
slipping through your hands and come to

eh, Xavier?

Hurt enough to want to kill me?

And you, Giorgio, you talk to me about
revenge.

What a sweet line you give to me in
Haiti.

But I suppose it's a poor family that
has no beggars, traitors, or fools in

So I'm the fool.

We stop all the talk, all the sentiment.

Let's finish this.

The quicker the better.

And if I have to get the kiss, it should
come from the new generation, Nick.

It should come from you.

So come on, Nick.

So give your first kiss to an old dog.

I'm ready, Nick.

What do you think you're doing? Tell
your punks to give my boys back their

Go ahead.

You can't get at me outside the country,
so you got to bring me back, eh?

And you make it look good when one of
your hitmen misses.

I love your cover -up, Frank.

And the cemetery, miss, was real class.

You try so hard. I play along with you.

But I know sooner or later, you gotta
come out in the open.

I let you swing the rope.

I let it keep getting bigger and bigger.

So now it fits all your necks.

In 30 minutes, I'll be flying over those
swamps.

And you'll be in with the rest of the
snakes.

Angie, you were my woman.

That was a contract.

But when you set me and Richie up, that
was the end.

Rudy, listen to me, please. I tried to
tell you outside.

I listened to you once.

Now you belong to them.

You said I should revenge Richie's
death, didn't you, Frank?

Okay, that's what I'm doing.

Not pins to kill.

But bullets.

Okay.

Get him out of here.

Let's go.

Come on. Move it, man.

Okay, you two, come on.

Come on, let's go.

It was for you. It was for your life.

I tried to tell you outside.

I couldn't let Nick kill you.

All right, go against the wall.

Against the wall.

I called the FBI and told them. I only
let Nick think I was delivering you to

him. You've got to believe this, Rudy.

Well, the doctor says he'll be up and
around in a few days, Kepler.

As soon as you're strong enough, we have
a lot to talk about.

Why not?

Like I said, there's no morality anymore
these days.

How many years do you think I'll get,
Inspector?

I'm not the judge.

Well, I am.

And I'm going to take...

Every one of them with me.

Every one.

Nobody's going to dance on my grave.

Or Richie's.
