All language subtitles for The FBI s06e14 The Inheritors

Basically, that's it, gentlemen.

The stock is our collateral.

200 shares of Hastings Electronics,
valued at the close of yesterday's

was $175 ,000 against a bank loan from
you. That should get us started.

With any kind of luck, the Collins plant
will be converted and in full operation

before the year's out.

Well, Harvey, this whole thing seems to
have you a little injured, doesn't it?

How long will the plant be in
receivership till its conversion?

Six months, maybe less.

That'll put holes in a lot of
pocketbooks.

I mean, the Collins plant employs over
500 men.

Gentlemen, I know I'm an outsider here,
and I don't want to appear calloused,

because it's true.

Some people are going to be hurt during
this conversion period.

But ultimately, we'll be employing twice
as many men.

We're not going to ruin this town,
gentlemen.

We're going to make it.

Yes? Just a moment. It's for you,
Harvey.

Yes. Gentlemen, then I take it we're in
business.

We're in business.

Thank you, Mr. Hunter, for your help. It
was a pleasure.

What's the matter, Harvey? Are you all
right?

Just a moment, please.

I've been doing a little investigating
on my own.

And I've come up with something I think
the rest of you should know.

Harvey, relax.

Don't take the edge off everything.

No, no, let him talk. Let Harvey have
his day in court.

If anybody's going to court, Mr. Fry,
it's not going to be me.

All right, Harvey, what is it you think
the rest of us should know?

Amongst other things, that your
industrial relations firm is a phony.

I checked with the bank in Minneapolis.

They'd never heard of you.

Well, Harvey, if you'd checked a little
further, you would have found out that

our parent company moved to Chicago over
three years ago. As a matter of fact,

all you had to do was ask me.

But that's not the issue here,
gentlemen. Harvey's rudeness and

Harvey, why don't you face it?

You're scared to death of this deal.
You're against any kind of progress, any

kind of development, and you'll do what
you can to sabotage it, correct?

You're pretty quick on your feet, Mr.
Fry.

But you're a fraud.

Your collateral is phony.

That was the stock issuing officer from
Hastings Electronics in Ohio I was just

talking to.

I gave him the serial numbers of the
stock you pledged, and he says they were

stolen.

Something tells me that the FBI is going
to be interested in you, too.

The FBI.

A Quinn Martin production.

Starring Ephraim Zimbalist Jr.

Also starring Philip Abbott.

William Reynolds.

With guest stars Gene Raymond.

Ray Danton.

And special guest star Suzanne
Plachette.

Tonight's episode.

The inheritors.

Because of the alertness of a bank
official in the small town of Miles

Montana, a major confidence operation
had been uncovered.

And within an hour, the FBI had been
notified and was able to make a positive

identification of both subjects
involved.

Both men definitely established Hunter
as Fry's accomplice. But it was Fry who

was carrying the ball.

Do you have a description of the car?

No. The stocks were reported stolen on
July 3rd from Harcourt and Bryce, a

brokerage firm in Columbus, Ohio.

They were entered in the NCIC the same
day.

And this is the first report we've had
of any attempt to pledge them as

collateral.

We're circulating photographs of Fry and
Hunter.

You suppose they'll try again?

I doubt it.

They're both old hands, and they've been
burned.

They'll go underground now until they
think it's safe to come up again.

Isn't this a new wrinkle for Fry?

In the past, I thought he always used a
woman accomplice.

He used to work with his wife until he
ran out on her and left her to be

arrested for a confidence operation they
were running.

Maybe she'll be more cooperative with us
now that she's had a chance to think it

over. Where's she living?

Since her release from prison, she's
been working for a private sanatorium in

Baltimore.

I can't get out there right now. I'm
dictating the final report on the Anders

case.

Tom, I wonder if... I'm on my way.

As soon as we're out of the state, we'll
sell the car and split the difference.

Yeah, well, I'll even throw in these
stocks.

Thanks.

See, we're that close, you know, that
close.

Forget it. It's over.

I know I could have sold that Harvey if
I just handled him right.

Well, you wake up, Glenn. You got to
realize there's some people in the world

who just can't be conned.

Couldn't have fooled Harvey even if
you'd been legitimate. We blew the

We blew it.

What a bust out.

What are you going to do now?

I'm going to San Francisco to collect an
old debt.

I'm gonna miss you, Les.

You're not too bright, but you got a big
heart.

Now, what's that?

What's the matter?

Feels like we, uh, gone flat in the rear
tire, one of the rear tires.

I don't feel anything.

All right, better stop and check it.

This one's okay.

Well, you better check the other side.

I'll be right back.

Mr. Fry?

I'm with the FBI.

I'd like to talk to you about your
husband.

What do you want to know?

When was the last time you saw him?

Before they collared me for the rap I
served.

Ben took off and let me take the fall.

Have you heard from him since then?

You're kidding.

Any idea where he might be now?

Not the slightest.

He's probably still trying to catch up
with Temple.

Temple?

Yeah, the girl he dumped me for.

But you gotta give the devil her due.

She took him. She took him good.

$10 ,000 worth.

She got him to get her some front money
for some con they were working.

And she took off.

What's her full name?

Temple Alexander.

And you say your husband is following?

Well, it's not just for the money.

That's an ego thing.

He was in love with her.

What's the name of that character, the
one who sold his soul for eternal youth?

You're probably thinking about Dorian
Gray.

Dorian Gray.

Well, Temple is the female version.

There's a feeling about her. I mean,
it's not just beauty. She's got a kind

innocence. You wouldn't believe to look
at her that she could do the things

she's done.

Glenn isn't even in the same league with
her.

Temple is pure evil.

Embarrassing me.

Padre, isn't she everything I said she
was?

Yes, she is.

You'll keep our engagement a secret,
won't you? I want to announce it at the

harvest party.

Not to even tell George.

Oh, especially not George.

If he knew I was going to marry Temple,
he'd say, don't be a fool.

Afraid you underestimate him.

Well, I love my son, Father, but I also
know his limitations.

You will respect our confidence, won't
you? Of course.

Thank you for everything, Father. Not at
all. I'm so happy to have finally met

you.

Goodbye, Father. Goodbye.

Are you happy?

I'm delirious.

Darling,

are you sure you really want to do this?

Oh, Harlan, you keep asking me that
question like you expect me to change my

mind. Because if you did change your
mind, I wouldn't be angry. I'd

Now, I'm not insensitive to the
difference in our ages.

But for the first time in my life, I'm
happy.

I mean, I'm really happy.

That someone who cares about me, about
the way that I feel.

I think that's the difference between
two people being in love and two people

trying to take love from each other.

Have you been in love often?

Well... Often enough to know the
difference.

I never thought there could be a new
beginning for me.

But I'm not deluding myself.

We're not young kids running away
starting fresh.

Wait a minute, hear me out.

I know you're not marrying just me.

But a style of life I can give you.

I understand that.

I thank my lucky stars that I'm able to
give it to you.

You know, my father lived to be 78 years
old. Now, I'm not guaranteeing I'll

live that long.

But whatever years are left, we'll make
the most of them.

Hi, how do you feel?

Oh, just fine, thanks. Good.

You know, it's almost worth the $10 ,000
just to see your face, Temple.

Well, I don't have it, if that's why
you're here.

I went to a lot of trouble to find you.
Now, don't spoil it.

It's gone. I'm sorry. Where is it gone?

The stock market.

I was hustling a mark. He gave me a tip.
The stock market fell. I wiped him out.

He wiped me out, too.

What?

That is so beautiful.

How much are you going to knock him over
for?

A couple of thousand. Things are slow,
you know.

I met him in that gallery where I was
cataloging in San Francisco.

I sold him a few antiques. I'm going to
decorate his apartment and sell him a

few more antiques. You mean some fake
antiques that Barry's been making for

Oh, that's how you found me. That's
right. Barry said you'd be delighted to

me.

Well, I kind of am, in a way, even
though it's going to cost me $10 ,000.

Why don't you save that for the old man,
dear?

Hey, tell me something.

This, uh, this old man, what have you
got in mind for him, really?

Well, then would I con you?

Only once, sweetheart.

Only once.

Beautiful woman, all right.

But her background belies her
appearance.

She was serving a term for assault
before she was 20 years old.

She met Glenn Frey shortly after she was
released from the women's reformatory.

He taught her everything that he knew
about the confidence game, and she

improved on that.

Got anything on this New York address?

No, she had studied art at the Pratt
Institute for a couple of years, was

working as a cataloger at one of the
best art galleries in New York.

Uh, she left for lunch one Thursday
three months, uh, ago and, uh, never

back. Oh, Lewis.

We may have a breakthrough in the Fry
Hunter case.

Kirby Green called a few minutes ago
from Chicago.

An informant saw Lester Hunter leaving
an exclusive men's shop on Michigan

Avenue. So I want you to get out there
right away.

Right. I'll phone Kirby and have
Hunter's photographs circulated in all

better hotels and restaurants.

Call you from Chicago. Good.

background check on Miss Temple
Alexander.

I believe she's staying at the hotel.

She surely is.

How long is she planning to stay?

Who's doing the asking?

Oh, private investigator, huh?

I might have guessed.

Well, can't blame George.

If I was Francisca's son, I'd be asking
questions, too, if somebody was trying

to cut in on my inheritance.

I don't know what old man Franciscus has
taken, but maybe there's hope for us

all.

How long is she planning to stay?

Well, I ain't say she's going to be here
a long time.

You got a good lead on Hunter before you
landed him. That's why I thought you

better come straight out.

He's in that restaurant over there right
now.

Is he with someone, Kirby?

A woman.

If he's running true to form, he's
probably working on another victim.

Remember me, Ronald Ames, the phony
stock.

You've got the wrong guy, buddy.

Oh, no, I haven't. Call the cops.
Somebody call the cops.

After you, Hunter.

That's where you are.

All right, step back.

Is there something wrong?

No, why?

Because if there is... Harlan, I need
$10 ,000.

I can explain.

Don't.

You know, a marriage should be built on
trust.

What do you want to bet that he
announces his marriage at the Harvest

tomorrow?

That's his privilege.

I can't deny him his happiness.

It's so obvious what she's up to. Oh,
and what is she up to?

I'll tell you what she's up to.

She's moving in on you.

Cutting your inheritance right out from
under you. Did it ever occur to you that

she might really be in love with him?

Boy, oh boy.

You really are naive.

Well, it's been known to happen.

Who is she, anyway?

What do we know about her? Where does
she come from?

And it's not just the money, either.

Your father's a proud man.

When it finally dawns on him, it will,
that he's been had, it'll destroy him.

I've hired a private detective.

At least then, if he comes up with
something, I'll be able to go to father

facts, not empty accusations.

Well, that's something.

But why wait? Go to him now. No, not
till I know what the facts are. Now,

the end of it. You hear me?

Oh, look.

I didn't mean to snuff at you.

When you give your report to Mr.

Franciscus, I want you to give Temple
Alexander a clean bill of health. Do you

understand that?

You can't frighten me. I can't, can I?

A clean bill of health for Temple
Alexander.

Well, my friends and I will know where
to find you.

be a con man, but one man I never con is
myself.

There's no way I can beat this rat.

Where's Fry now?

Well, the last time I saw him was when
he left me high and dry in the

Guess I should have expected that.

But he didn't exactly leave me with a
good feeling toward him.

What kind of car was he driving?

Light green country sedan, 1970, license
number 283950.

I have a feeling he sold it before he
got where he was going.

Where was that?

To San Francisco to collect an old debt.

That's what he said.

From whom?

He didn't say.

Thank you.

That was very quick.

I almost get the feeling that you can't
wait to get rid of me.

Waiter. Another glass, madame.

Well, it's not that. You said you were
in trouble. I tried to get it for you as

fast as I could.

I guess this settles our old score,
doesn't it?

What are you going to do now?

I don't know. This may have done it, or
maybe I...

and squeeze a few more dollars out of
him.

I've been doing some checking on Mr.

Franciscus.

He's one of the largest wine growers in
the state of California.

Now, you wouldn't turn your back on
that, would you?

Well, he's been burned before.

Nobody's going to get close to him.

Not the way his son hovers around.

I'll bet on you.

No.

I don't think so.

I'll be moving on to greener pastures
soon.

Why don't you come with me?

Well, now.

That is tempting. Very tempting.

But we tried that before. It just
doesn't work.

How about this one thing?

I think the Pinot Noir is holding enough
sugar to be picked.

I just tasted the Cabernet Sauvignon.
It's ready to be bottled.

Oh, by the way, this letter came for
you.

George?

I had a call from a Mr. McDaniel.

Before he realized he was talking to me,
he let it slip that his investigation

of Miss Alexander was finished.

And so far as he could determine, there
was nothing out of character in her

background.

I assume your interest in Miss Alexander
was motivated out of concern for that

$10 ,000 check I gave her. No, I've
already written that off.

No, my interest in Miss Alexander was
motivated by my concern for you.

Well, if you were so concerned, why
didn't you come to me first? Because I

didn't want to interfere.

But you did interfere in the worst
possible way.

I'm sorry, Father.

George.

What's troubling you?

Are you sure this girl's in love with
you?

Is that so difficult to believe?

That a woman might find me still
attractive?

No matter what I say, it'll still come
out mean and petty.

Say it.

There's more at stake here, Father, than
your ego.

We're talking about the biggest winery
in the country, a tradition that's

on from generation to generation.

We're talking about what may be my last
chance for happiness.

Why does it have to be either or?

You don't have to forfeit one for the
other.

No.

I wouldn't begin a marriage by cutting
my future wife out of a proper right.

She'll be taken care of for the rest of
her natural life. I don't want to talk

about it. Well, we must talk about it.

I've given body and soul to running this
winery, and I'm going to protect it

from...

Of what?

From irresponsibility.

I thought you'd be happy for me.

But your only interest is self
-interest. You still haven't answered my

question.

Does she love you?

Look, son, only children have to be
loved.

She needs me.

Don't you understand that it's more
important for me to be needed than

George.

Here's that $10 ,000 check back.

There's a little note with it.

I won't need this after all.

Temple.

I hope this doesn't foul up your books.

Yes?

Oh, good. Put him on.

Hello, Lewis.

Yes, Art.

Agents in Denver have located Fry's car.

He sold it to a used car dealer there.

So it looks like Hunter was telling the
truth.

A car lot manager identified the seller
as Fry from mug shots and reported that

he took a cab from the car lot to the
airport.

Found for San Francisco, I suppose.

And Temple Alexander, she's there.

And, Lewis, there's a new wrinkle here.

It seems that when Miss Alexander walked
away from that gallery in New York

where she was working, she also walked
away with two of their Picasso etchings

worth thousands of dollars and
substituted two frauds.

The gallery just discovered the frauds
yesterday.

Art, call Bennett in San Francisco,
would you? Ask him to circulate her

to the art galleries.

We'll be out in the next flight.

All right. Keep me informed, Miss.
Right.

Do you have a moment to talk?

Yes. Can I get you something?

No, thanks.

Oh, George.

You and I always seem to beat each
other's throats, don't we?

That's true.

I've... I've doubted you.

May I be frank with you?

Oh, Lord.

Every time somebody says, may I be frank
with you, I know I'm in trouble. Oh,

you're not making it easy for me.

I owe you an apology.

You do?

My father is a wealthy man.

And there have been other women.

They're always out for what they can
get.

You think I'm out for what I can get,
huh?

It did cross my mind.

But you're different. You're genuine.

What made you change your mind?

When you returned the check.

Uh, I think.

See, I've been selfish.

But I really do care about my father.

Well, that's understandable, George.
Nobody can fault you for that.

You see, what I'm trying to say is that
I've been wrong.

And that I hope that you and my father
will be very happy.

And now that you'll be coming to stay
with us, I hope I have the chance to

you another side of myself.

George, I'm sure you and I are going to
be very good friends.

I must say, gentlemen, you rocked me.

I consider myself to be a fairly good
judge of character.

That's why I hired her.

But Miss Alexander fooled me.

You told a lot of people, Mr. Russell.

Did she give you any idea where she
might be going? No, sir, just that she

leaving and that she was sorry.

Did she mention any names, friends of
hers?

No, not really.

Say, there was one.

He did some restoring for us, some
frames, antiques, that sort of thing.

Barry.

Barry Hanson.

See what you can find out, Alan.

Mr. Russell, where was her desk? Right
this way, Inspector. Right over here.

Do you mind if we look through it? Not
at all.

How long has she been gone?

Oh, two and a half weeks, maybe.

We haven't had a chance to clean her
desk yet, so you may still find some

of her in it.

Hello?

14th of July is missing from this desk
calendar.

There's some indentation of writing on
the page below it.

14th. She was working here then.

Yes, she was.

Mr. Russell, do you mind if we take that
with us?

Why, no, of course not.

Well, thanks very much, Mr. Russell. Be
a cooperation.

And now I want you all to meet the
future of Mrs.

Franciscus. Thank you.

Thank you, Ben.

This is some

of our

finest champagne.

We laid it on its side a good many years
back.

Little did I know then I'd be using it
on such a happy occasion.

Oh, that's very sweet, Barton. Thank
you.

Temple, you've been holding out on us.

Your brother's arrived.

Temple, you didn't tell me.

Congratulations, Mr. Franciscan.

It looks as if I'm just in time for the
harvest.

Bennett checked on Barry Hansen.

He's wanted here in San Francisco for
interstate transportation stolen

In a case where he passed off some bogus
artwork for $10 ,500 to someone who

thought they were getting a bargain.

Agents, the cannabis, the antique
restores, and came up with this address.

There is a Barry Hanson working here.
From his description, he sounds like he

may be our man.

All right, Alan. Take some agents and
cover the other exits.

Take it easy, will you? That stuff's
fragile.

And that piece comes too.

You the manager?

Yes.

I'm Inspector Erskine with the FBI. This
is Mr. Colby.

Would you like to talk to Barry Hanson?

Barry?

Barry?

Barry?

I just saw him a second ago.

He must be around the corner.

Thank you.

Barry Hanson, FBI.

We'd like to talk to you.

Fire escape.

Hold it right there.

Drop the gun.

Raise your hands. Very slow.

Turn around.

Slowly.

We're going to take a walk right out the
front door.

Beautiful setup, Temple.

What do you want?

Well, someone's got to look after you.

Protect your interests.

See if there's insurance in case
something happens to the old man.

See that something's settled on you
right from the beginning.

What's the trouble with you, Temple? You
don't have the killer instinct.

You know how to set the mark up, but you
don't know how to put him away.

It's not going to be that way.

Oh, yes, it is.

We're going to ride this for a long
time.

You should be thankful to me.

I set it all up.

I sent the check back. I took care of
the detective.

What detective?

Don't worry. I got rid of him.

Why are you being so good to me?

For old time's sake.

I'm warning you, Glenn, don't louse this
one up. You're not threatening me, are

you?

Don't be greedy, Temple.

There's plenty here for everybody.

All of my life, I wanted something like
this.

You ever see where I live?

No, you never did.

It was dirty and ugly.

And lonesome.

I'm 26 years old, Glenn.

The youth doesn't last very long.

One day you're necking in the back seat
of a drive -in and... Next day you're

pulling the gray hairs out of your head.

I've got my looks now, but how long is
that going to last? What, five years,

years?

Take it easy, baby.

The old man isn't going to live forever.

Neither can I.

I'm tired.

I had enough sour notes in my life. I
want some peace.

Glenn, let me off the hook.

All right.

All right, I'll go away.

Disappear for a little while.

Till everything gets settled here.

The only thing is,

I'll need a little traveling money.

Do you have Inspector Erskine for me?

I'll put him on.

Yes, Art.

Now, Lewis, the lab used side lighting
on that calendar page you sent us.

And the message reads, Harlan
Franciscus, Guerneville.

One Betamar commode.

one Louis XVI writing table and chair
with Ormolu, one iron and wood Spanish

chandelier with five branches, called
Barry.

And that's it.

Did Hanson tell you anything?

Not much. Before he asked to see his
lawyer, he did mention that Fry had been

see him.

He said he may have caught up with Miss
Alexander already.

All right, Lewis. Well, I hope this
helps.

Thanks, Art. I'll be in touch.

Does that name, Harlan Franciscus, mean
anything to you?

He's one of the largest wine producers
in California.

He lives outside Guerneville.

Well, when we get back to the office,
call the resident agent there and tell

we'll be coming up. We're radio
instructions en route.

Hello? Glenn?

Yes, it's Temple.

I have what you wanted.

Uh... Yes, how about the restaurant at 3
.30?

Temple?

Is everything all right?

Yes. Fine.

Is there anything I can do for you?

Yes, you can help me get those three
bolts of fabric into the car so I can

the upholsterer before we leave.

All right.

Inspector? Ron. Ovi? I called the house,
but Franciscus wasn't in. He's expected

back shortly.

Well, let's get over there.

That's Francisco's car.

This place is closed today.

I know.

Why don't you give us a chance to talk?

What have we got to talk about?

Well, isn't this a little out of
character for the future Mrs.

Franciscus?

Future Mrs.

Franciscus is only protecting her
interests.

You're bluffing, Temple.

Maybe I am.

I told you to get out. I'm not going to
let you blackmail me.

All right, all right.

I'll clear out.

Pick and clean.

I don't care.

You'd come back.

No, no, I wouldn't.

You're cunning, Glenn.

You don't know any other way.

You'd come back, you couldn't help it.

So I was wrong after all.

Harlan!

Harlan!

Turn us in.

B .I., drop the gun.

wouldn't have turned you in.

I guess there's no fool like...
Strangely enough, I don't feel foolish.

I remember something my wife said a long
time ago.

She said it to our son who was going
through the torments of first love.

If you can't afford to be hurt, she told
him, you can't afford to love.

I guess that proves I'm still
vulnerable.

We're all vulnerable, Mr. Franciscus.

I feel sorry for Temple.

She was reaching out for something.

I don't know much about these things,
Inspector, but I think Temple turned a

crime because she thought the only way
to stop people from using her was to use

them first.

Does that make any sense to you?

I think you know it doesn't.

Well, I may be deluding myself, but I
think in time I could have made a real

contribution to her life because she was
reaching out.

For help.

Anyway, thanks for everything,
Inspector.

Goodbye, Miss Franciscus.

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Glenn Frye recovered from his wounds and
with Lester Hunter was convicted of

interstate transportation of stolen
property.

Temple Alexander and Barry Hanson were
found guilty on similar charges.

Frye, Hunter, and Hanson were also
charged with assaulting federal officers

sentenced to a penitentiary.
