You think you can make it?

I got to.

Steve, can you let me have anything?

Not for me.

It's for the electric bill. They're
going to turn it off.

Why not for you, huh?

I mean, why can't it ever be for you?

Finally made it in, huh, genius? And
only 45 minutes late.

You got some business, genius.

Yes, sir.

Not a man. You look beat.

Long hours.

Yeah, especially with all that studying
you've been doing, huh?

How do you know that?

You look the type.

Ambitious.

How are you going on jury duty tomorrow
with a schedule like that?

I tried to get out of it, but...

Who are you?

Someone interested in your welfare.

Yeah, but I mean, how do you... I know
all about you.

Your wife's had a rough time.

You're in debt up to your ears.

You're being thrown out of that rat trap
you live in because of two months back

rent.

You're cramming for college entrance
exams second time around.

Do you really think you have a prayer of
making it this way?

Don't you guys ever give up, huh?

Your friend made a visit the other day.
I told him I wasn't interested and I'm

giving you the same answer.

Sure.

That'll be $4.

Charge or cash?

Let's keep the change.

I can't change this. You got anything
smaller?

First time you've ever held that much
money, isn't it?

$5 ,000.

And that's only a down payment.

I'll double it once you vote the right
way.

What torrent do you?

It's just a name.

What difference does it make if he stays
in business?

You vote guilty and the government will
pat you on the back and say, thank you.

It sends you right back to the gas
station to work.

Use your head.

Now you're being smart.

I'll get in touch with you after the
trial.

Tonight's episode Silent Partner.

On September 24th, Carl Torrance,
powerful lord of organized crime, was

to trial in San Diego, California, on
four counts of interstate gambling and

racketeering. For almost two weeks,
United States Attorney Layton Sims

vigorous and well -documented
prosecution against Torrance.

Now, with the jury ready to return a
verdict, conviction was considered

certainty.

But Sims had not anticipated the
infectious reach of La Cosa Nostra into

sanctum of the courtroom.

All rise.

Has the jury reached a verdict?

No, Your Honor. We're hopelessly
deadlocked.

Order.

The jury is hereby discharged.

The defendant will continue on bail
pending motion for new trial.

Court's adjourned.

I'll take it.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello, Mr. Sims?

I'd like to ask a question about a
deadlocked jury.

Yes.

Go ahead.

If... If someone could prove that a
juror was bribed...

Would the defendant go back on trial
more quickly?

Who is this, please?

It's not important.

Are you talking about the Torrance case?

Can't you be more specific, at least?

Hello? Who is this?

Give me the FBI.

There has been a jury tampering. We've
got to find out about it.

Sims couldn't identify the voice as one
of the jurors.

No, he couldn't.

That could have been a crack call.

Well, let's find out.

Lewis, I want you and Tom to get out to
San Diego.

You know Layton Sims?

Yes. I want to move fast on this.

If they did reach a juror...

And if he's wavering on a confession, I
want him uncovered before Torrance

steadies him.

With this mistrial and with the legal
recourses we can employ, it could be

possible to delay the government's case
at least a year.

That'll give us time for a more solid
defense.

That's fine.

We've been together a good many years
now, fellas.

It's been good for us.

Till now.

What would have happened if there hadn't
been a mistrial?

We can understand why you'd be upset,
Mr. Torrance.

The day you let them put me through the
gate of a federal penitentiary, I'll be

upset.

Vic!

Hello there. Good to see you. Hello,
Carl.

Stop by and see if you need anything.

That's my Vic, always taking care of me,
always looking after me, worrying about

me. Don't let me interrupt anything.

No, they were just leaving.

Go get yourself another suitcase full of
court orders, boys.

Keep me happy.

We'll be contacting you, Mr. Torrance.
Mr. Peretz?

You make me proud, Vic.

Very proud. You make the whole family
proud.

The way you handled everything.

Perfect. No problems, no troubles.

Thanks. I had a good teacher.

Like your father.

Smart. Quick with the charm.

You'll go far.

I mentioned it to the council.

Oh, I'm glad to hear that, Carl.

Here.

Flowers bring me luck.

Oh, they're beautiful.

Uncomplicated.

That's you, Vic.

You stay that way.

You've got the world by a short string.

I like it that way.

Just don't forget who's letting you hold
the string.

I tried to hold him on the phone as long
as I could, but he evidently panicked

and hung up.

Could have been a crank, but I don't
think so.

He was too frightened.

Is there anything unusual about his
voice?

Nothing I could tell.

Any background sounds?

Just some traffic noises.

Probably used a public phone.

Could we find out how the individual
jurors voted?

Not unless they volunteer the
information.

They elected to vote by secret ballot.

Well, we've got 12 names.

Let's get started.

Nine o 'clock, hon.

The station's going to be calling for
you.

Sure.

What is it, Steve?

You haven't said two words in the past
few days. Quit bugging me.

I'm sorry, baby.

I'm just tired. I've been up studying
most of the night, that's all.

Yes, I saw you asleep with your head on
the desk.

Don't you think you've been hitting it a
little too hard?

Lainey, I've been thinking.

How would you like it for the both of us
to take a trip, huh?

Trip?

Where? A vacation up the coast to one of
those seaside resorts.

Give you a little rest before Junior
makes the scene.

Would you like that?

Where would the money come from?

Thanks for the dream, hon.

Baby. You sit, okay?

Okay.

Hello? Oh, you working the late shift
now, genius?

I'm just leaving. I'll be there in a few
minutes.

Huh?

That's a surprise.

I thought you'd be phoning in your
notice.

Notice? Why?

What's a rich guy like you need with a
place like this?

You've been sniffing too many gas fumes,
Benny. You better take a rest.

You know, that's just what I was
thinking of doing.

$5 ,000 worth of rest.

for what you get for putting Carl
Torrance back in business.

Man, you don't know what you're talking
about.

Don't I?

I was watching from under a car not ten
feet away when that mafia picked us up

to the five big ones.

If I don't have the money by noon
tomorrow, I'll be making a phone call to

federal building.

What's your problem, Steve?

Look, here's your money.

I spent about 900 bucks.

I'll give it back to you as soon as I
can. I'm calling the whole thing off.

A little late, isn't it?

It's done. I know it's done, but...
Well, I don't want the money. Take it.

What's got you so rattled?

Well, maybe I got a conscience.

Buy it off.

Here's the other 5 ,000.

Like we agreed.

No.

You're really uptight, man.

There's something you're not telling me?

Look, I got a blackmailer on me.

Who? He saw you give me the money.

Benny... Go on.

Benny who?

Forget I said it. Forget everything.
Just leave me alone.

Thanks very much, Mr. Grayson.

I'll let you know if we need any more
information.

Glad to have been of help.

Anything? Very cooperative.

He even told me he voted Torrance
guilty.

But he has no idea who hung the jury.

Well, I talked to jurors Stewart,
Callahan, and Grove.

I couldn't help either.

I completed the check and the financial
statements.

None of the jurors made any recent large
bank deposits.

Still checking on outstanding purchases,
debts that have been cleared.

Three more to go?

Uh -huh.

Stephen Harbour.

You haven't been able to reach him yet.

I just called him at the house. He
wasn't in. He wasn't at work either.

some trunks. The water's great.

No, no thanks.

Hey, you better go easy on that stuff.

A little early for you, isn't it?

Just celebrating.

You're good and fixed, huh?

You got nothing to worry about, Carl.

There's no way he can put a finger on
you.

He doesn't even know my name.

He knows my name.

He's satisfied with the arrangement. No
problems.

Problems? What kind of problems?

I'm asking you, Vic.

My lawyers tell me the FBI is snooping
around.

I'd be foolish to let anything go wrong
now.

Harbaugh's in too deep.

He wouldn't talk. He'd only hang
himself.

It isn't his neck that concerns me.

You're in charge.

You take care of me. You protect me.

Council's watching. Don't let anything
go wrong.

You can count on it.

Certainly hope so.

Steve, what is it?

Nothing, nothing. Leave me alone.

Something's going on.

It's not just the debts and your work.

Lainey, please.

Baby, when we married, we made a bargain
to share it all.

Nothing so bad you can't tell me.

You can do anything so wrong I wouldn't
help you.

What makes you so certain that I've done
something wrong?

I told you, all I want to do is to be
left alone.

I know you.

You're decent.

You make one wrong step and it tears you
apart inside.

You couldn't stand it.

Stephen Harbour?

Yes? We're with the FBI.

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

Well, what's wrong?

I believe you were a juror in the Carl
Torrance case.

That's right. Come on in.

Thank you.

This is my wife.

How do you do?

We're investigating the possibility that
someone tampered with the jury.

We'd like to talk to you about it.

Jury tampering?

Who would do a foolish thing like that?

That's what we're trying to determine.

Has anyone made an attempt to contact
you about this case?

No, I don't believe this.

I mean, how could anybody tamper with a
federal jury?

Torrance has powerful connections.

I'm sure you heard the government
testimony concerning his tie with

crime.

Yeah.

You also had a chance to observe the
other jurors.

Did you get the feeling that any of
them...

Had made up his mind in advance?

Not that I noticed.

We argued quite a bit and discussed both
sides, as any jury would.

Mr.

Harbour, a week ago you were heavily in
debt.

Since then, most of your bills have been
paid off.

Do you mind telling us where you got the
money?

All right.

I won it at the racetrack.

Eight, nine hundred dollars.

Can anyone verify that? Were you with
someone at the time?

No, but it's the truth.

That's your story?

That's it.

All right, Mr. Harbour, if you think of
anything else, would you give us a call?

Keep him under 24 hours' available.

I want to know everyone he talks to.

SD -55.

SD -55.

SD -55 -10 -8.

SD -55. Stand by, please.

Inspector, this is Ted Cullinan.

Yes, Ted.

I'm out here at Carlisle Bay with the
police investigating an accident, if

that's what it was.

The jury foreman of the Torrance trial
has just drowned, Phil Grayson.

How'd it happen?

Well, he was apparently fishing and the
boat somehow turned over.

Are there any witnesses?

Haven't been able to locate any.

What do the police think?

Well, he suffered a head injury. It
could have been accidental, but the

aren't ready to say yet.

All right, stay with it. We'll be right
there.

10 -4.

Hello, Benny.

Who are you?

Don't you remember me?

You're the guy who...

What do you want from me?

Stay away from me.

You hear? Stay away from me.

Stay with me, you hear?

What are you bothering me for?

Phil didn't talk about the trial very
much.

It seemed somehow depressing to him.

And I didn't want to question him about
it.

Sit down.

Mrs. Grayson, did your husband go
fishing very often?

At least once a week.

He was retired, you know.

He must have been a pretty good sailor
then.

Yes. He always owned a boat.

I see.

And did he often fish at Carlisle Bay?

Every Saturday.

You... You think someone killed my
husband, don't you?

He suffered a head injury before
drowning. But so far, the coroner hasn't

able to determine whether it was
accidental or not.

Why would anyone hurt Phil?

Did anyone threaten him or try to coerce
him regarding his decision at the

trial?

No, no, not at all. Phil surely would
have told me.

Well, we won't trouble you anymore.

Excuse me.

Hello?

It's for you.

Riskin. Lewis, Ted Cullinan. I just got
a call from the city police. They have a

DOA on a Benjamin Logan.

He was a mechanic at the Golden Gate
service station where Steve Harbour

He took a fall from the second -story
porchway of his apartment.

Anyone see it?

Yes, the woman tenant of the building.

Now, she states that she wasn't in a
position to see everything, but that

was another man with Logan.

The police are questioning her now at
the South Beach division.

All right, Ted, thanks. We'll go right
over.

I know. I know. The council is always
worried.

Look, any time they don't like the way
I...

Yes. Yes, I'll

take care of him.

You'll tell them...

Stupid?

You think I'm stupid?

You killed that mechanic, the one from
Harbour's service station, didn't you?

Carl... Look why.

What's the connection?

Had Harbour talked to him?

Was the guy trying to shake him down?

Tell me!

The grease monkey heard my pitch. He was
trying to tap Harbour for half.

a little muscle on him.

That's all.

Kept him quiet until things died down.

Okay. I made a mistake.

Yes, you made a mistake.

I don't like that. I don't like that at
all.

Vic, Vic, what am I going to do about
you?

Let me show you something.

We're a close family, and you're part of
it.

The boys, they're part of it.

Me, I'm another part.

All different branches, just like this
plant.

In some parts of the world, this is used
as a remedy for cobra bite.

Mimosa pudica.

The sensitive plant.

And that's our family, too.

We're sensitive.

So if one of us makes a mistake, he's
not the only one who gets hurt.

The others suffer, too.

When one is touched, all are touched.

Okay, Carl, you made your point.

Good.

You read the newspaper, Vic?

No, I've been busy.

So you have.

Well, there's a very interesting item.

It seems that the esteemed jury foreman
at my trial has suffered a drowning

accident.

Do you see the excellent opportunity
that this offers?

Not exactly.

When you're as old and scarred as I am,
you'll recognize luck when it drops in

your lap.

What does luck got to do with Grayson
drowning? He can't help us.

The contrary.

He can help us a great deal.

Now, I want you to handle this job
personally.

$5 ,000 ought to be a good bribe for Mr.

Grayson.

Pay off a dead man?

We're going to give the FBI exactly what
they're looking for. A jury tampering

suspect.

And I distinctly heard Mr. Logan yell,
stay away from me.

Did you identify the man with him?

I'm not sure.

He was about average height and rather
well -dressed, in a dark coat.

A raincoat, I think.

Were you acquainted with any of Mr.
Loken's callers before this?

I don't think he had any. He was pretty
much of a loner.

I'd like you to look at some
photographs, Mrs. Wyatt, if you don't

It was rather dark. I can't promise
anything.

Well, you may be able to pick out
something you forgot in your excitement.

It sometimes happens.

Of course.

I just took a call from Mrs. Grayson.
She wants to see you immediately. She's

her way here now.

Did she say why?

Well, she was a little too excitable to
make much sense, but it seems that she's

uncovered evidence that her husband
might have been bribed.

Have you decided yet?

Decided what?

About going to the FBI and telling them
that you took the money from those

racketeers.

Didn't you realize what you were doing
to yourself?

To us.

Answer me. All right.

You know why I took it. Because I got
tired of you having nothing. I got tired

of us living in filth.

The day you took that money was when we
started living in filth.

We can't live under this.

There's only one way out. Let me call
Inspector Iskin.

No.

You know what that means?

That means jail.

A stretch in the federal prison. Is that
what you want, huh? Is it?

We're going to help ourselves.

We're getting out of here.

Steve.

You can't just give up everything. Think
of the future.

You're almost ready for your college,
then. That's all over now. Forget it.

you can't.

You... I think he was wrong.

You... You can't go now, honey.

The world's got to stop for a minute.
Junior's coming.

Are you sure?

I'm sure.

Come over here. Sit down.

Come on.

Do like I say.

Tell them, please, Steve.

We'll take care of you first, and then
we'll see, okay?

$5 ,000.

It was hidden under the workbench in the
garage.

I was getting some of Phil's things
sorted out.

Ted, have a list of the ethereal numbers
sent to Washington for possible

identification. Right.

I can't bring myself to believe Phil
would take a bribe to deadlock that

And you feel sure that money is a bribe?

I've tried very hard to convince myself
it isn't.

My husband and I always shared
everything. No secret.

He never hid money like this in his
life.

Why did he do it now?

Unless he was ashamed.

Coroner's autopsy of Philip Grayson.

It's impossible to tell whether the
injury was accidental or not.

Yes?

I'll put him on.

Mr. Ward. Oh, thanks.

Yes, Art.

Lewis, we checked the serial numbers on
the money Mrs. Grayson found in the

garage. Yes?

It was part of a...

Treasury issue printed less than two
months ago and delivered to the Federal

Reserve Bank in Chicago.

So, allowing for no distribution,
Grayson probably couldn't have had it

than six weeks.

Trial started four weeks ago.

That would give Torrance two weeks to
soften him up for a bribe. The pieces

could fit.

On the surface, maybe.

Have you had a look at Grayson's
financial statement?

Yes, I have it here.

He left an estate approximating $100
,000.

Not exactly a good prospect for a bribe,
was he?

Anything new on Harbor?

Nothing concrete yet. We're still
working on a possible connection with

death.

Well, keep me advised.

Right, Art.

Colby's trying to reach you on line two.

Yeah,

Tom. Hello, I'm with the Steve Harbor
surveillance.

He brought his wife to the Henderson
Clinic. I think she's going to have her

baby.

All right, stay with it. I'll get back
to you.

Let's assign some agents to the
Henderson Clinic.

I don't want anything to happen to
Stephen Harbour or his wife.

Mrs. Wyatt made a positive
identification on a man that she says

Logan when he was killed.

Hmm.

Victor Barris.

Let's find out his last known address.

Have the local authorities been
notified?

They have an APB out on him.

All right, let's pay Harbour another
visit.

Yes, sir?

Where's Steve Harbour? He quit.

Quit?

When? This afternoon. Just said he was
through and left.

Want me to fill it up?

No.

got a healthy boy. He arrived at seven
pounds even.

And my wife? She's fine.

You can see her in a few minutes.

He offered me $10 ,000 to vote Torrance
not guilty.

Go slow, Vic.

Don't get excited.

He's taken off. He quit his job.

I called his house. Both he and his wife
are gone.

He's pointed a finger right at himself.

If the FBI grabs him and he talks,
they'll get to me.

That would be most unfortunate, Vic.

If they find out about you, it's only
one more step to me.

You don't think I'd talk, do you?

No, of course not, Big.

I can depend on you, I know that.

I'm flying out of here before they break
harbor open.

Relax.

No need for panic.

Remember, we're a family.

We take care of each other.

am in trouble. What am I supposed to do?

I've got an idea.

Why don't you come over here? We'll talk
about it. Decide what to do.

No.

You're stalling me. Why?

Oh, you're upset, Vic.

Relax.

I don't want to relax.

I'm beginning to think I don't need your
help.

Greg.

He says he's flying out.

Go ahead.

You okay?

All right, let's roll him over.

Full statement by Stephen Harbour,
corroborating statement by Victor

implicating Torrance as well as himself.

Fine, Lewis.

I'll take over from here.

After I get through with Barris, the
state wants to press charges against him

for murder.

Inspector, I wanted to thank you for
clearing this thing up. I should have

the courage to do it myself.

Or not even get involved in the first
place.

I think Mr. Sims wants to have a word
with you.

I just wanted you to know that if you
continue to cooperate with us, you'll

every opportunity for leniency.

Well, I guess that's all I have a right
to ask.

Or probably all I deserve.

Carl Torrance and Victor Beres were
convicted of jury tampering.

Beres was turned over to state
authorities to stand trial in the death

Logan. Stephen Harbour was found guilty
of obstructing justice.
