No.

All right.

This is Riley.

Did I have the receipt tabulation?

Tonight's episode, The Mastermind.

The brazen robbery of over $1 ,800 ,000 from an armored truck, which included

weekend holiday receipts from a Louisville, Kentucky amusement park,

one of the largest robberies in the nation's history and plunged the FBI

one of its most dangerous manhunts, a search which was to cover thousands of

miles and employ the full resources of the Bureau.

Because evidence indicated the stolen money and getaway car had been

across state lines into Indiana,

Special agents of the FBI under Assistant Director Arthur Ward and

Louis Erskine immediately assumed on -the -scene supervision of the

investigation.

Mr. Ward?

Hello, Lewis. Ed? How's the wounded guard?

He's still in serious condition, but the doctors feel he'll recover.

We interviewed all the employees here, but their descriptions of the subjects

weren't much help.

You mean because of the costumes?

That's right.

Excuse me.

This is Arthur Ward. Go ahead.

Mr. Ward, we found tire impressions near the panel truck. Looks like the

subjects had a second vehicle planted there.

We've taken photographs, and we're making plaster casts now.

Have you developed any latency?

Well, we found some, but we're still processing the truck.

All right, keep me advised.

We forwarded the costume found in the truck to the lab.

How did they get away with it?

Well,

the park carries a regular staff of wandering entertainers. They usually

start until afternoon.

So the subjects were able to pose as employees and move right in.

LS -14 to LS -1.

LS -1, go ahead.

We've located a car the subject may have used to bring them to the park.

It's in section E, the 1962 light blue corridor.

The office just checked the license number through DMV. It was stolen from

parking lot here in Louisville yesterday.

This is Inspector Erskine. Do you have anything else that ties in?

Yes, sir.

The parking lot attendant remembered four men getting out of the car.

They were carrying bundles large enough to contain the costume.

All right, we'll send some agents over to process the car.

Mr. Ward?

Ward, this is Sandy Harris.

Hello, Sandy. Harris was here in the park with some friends during the

He also took some pictures of the animals.

We made it, Selvin. Yeah?

No. Nerves.

Hey, how much you figure?

It's got to be over a million, maybe two.

You know, for a civilian, you play them just like a pro. You sure this is your

first job? First and last.

Well, you don't look too happy about it.

I didn't want to shoot that guard.

You should have finished him. He's probably the guy that set off the alarm.

You should have killed him.

Well, I'm going to be glad when we split up. He scares me.

Turning's okay.

You're just nervous.

Who isn't? My guts are still turning.

But it's all over now. We got it made.

We got it really made.

What's first for you, Howard?

Well, now I think I'll just settle down and become a landowner.

Buy me a nice big piece of property somewhere.

Hire everybody, do all the work, lay down in the sun, not do nothing.

That sounds pretty good. What about you?

Women. Yeah, I never had much luck with women.

I don't know, maybe all this money will make a difference.

How about you, mastermind?

What's your big dream?

I'm not sure.

You don't talk much about yourself, do you?

Let's split the money and get out of here. Half the cops in the country must

looking for us by now.

Hey, come on.

Relax.

There'll be months getting a lead on us.

Howard Douglas Rademaker served two terms for armed robbery released from

prison a couple years ago.

His fingerprints matched the latents found in the armored truck. Fortunately,

the latent fingerprint section was able to identify him because of his previous

involvement with major crimes. Right.

The U .S. attorney has just authorized a warrant for Rattamaker's arrest.

This is one of the pictures the girl took at the park.

The costumes match the witness's descriptions.

We know one of them is Rattamaker. Our job is to identify the other three.

They're teletyped from the Cincinnati office, Mr. Ward.

Well, they've located Rattamaker's wife and have her apartment under

surveillance. They're requesting permission to interview her. All right.

Director's office for you, sir.

Ward? Yes, sir?

Yes, sir, right away.

There's been a top -level defection at one of our Iron Curtain embassies. The

director's ordered me back to Washington.

Lewis, why don't you get up to Cincinnati and interview Mrs. Rademaker?

I'll let you know what we find out.

Rattamaker, all the money in there.

You're kidding.

No, I'm not. Go on.

I'll toss the guns over there.

Now let's unload the car.

Help him, Matthew.

Chernick, on your feet. Up, up, up.

Go back against the door.

Hands against the wall.

I'll get you.

No matter what it takes.

He took the road off. Oh, find your car.

Come on, get up. Move!

Come on!

Thank you.

How long has it been since you've seen your husband, Mrs. Radmaker?

Well, uh, just twice since he got out of prison the last time.

Once for the funeral of our daughter.

She, uh, died in an accident about a year ago.

I'm sorry.

The last time he came, he wanted money.

I gave him what I had.

I don't make much, but I gave it to him.

He won't be back.

He's not very sure of that, Mrs. Rademacher.

He has another woman.

I gave him all the money I had.

And he bought a present for her.

Do you know who she is?

Could I get you gentlemen something to eat? No, no, thank you. Really.

He was mailing it to a bowling alley in St. Louis.

A woman with the first name of Mavis.

That's all I saw.

I hate him.

I was a good wife.

Could I get you gentlemen something to... I'm sorry, I'm repeating myself.

It gets lonely.

If you do hear from him again, would you contact us, please?

I was a good wife.

I had something real nice planned for him.

We'll find him.

You got any ideas, love?

You leave me out of it.

Yeah, you want him for yourself, don't you, Charlie?

If you want things straight, we're after a pretty clever operator.

Split up now, we're finished.

Keep our heads worked together, still got a chance.

All right, where do we start?

From what we know about him.

Which is nothing.

All right, let's take it step by step.

You started at the beginning, Roderick. You met him in St. Louis.

You knew your rap sheet.

Yeah, he said he was hunting up talent for a caper. I got referred to him.

By who?

He wouldn't say.

My name could have been given to him by anyone.

Didn't he give you anything on himself?

No. I said to call him the Phil.

I don't... Why didn't you check him out?

Why didn't you?

Come on, let's face it.

We got time.

He had us believe in anything.

Sir, we got nothing.

What about Jim Farber? Do you have anything loose?

I doubt he's going to be sitting there waiting for us.

Well, maybe he left something behind.

Maybe.

St. Louis.

Thank you.

How are you feeling?

I'm not too kindly towards hitchhikers. I can believe it.

Can you describe them?

No.

One was big, light hair, maybe 40.

That knock on the head I took blacked out to rest.

But you were conscious when they brought you back here.

Yeah, hog -tied and blindfolded.

All I remember is their voices.

The two of them came back here to pick up a partner. He was in pain, like he'd

been shot.

What'd they talk about?

Well, they talked about the amusement park robbery and something about getting

guy that had nailed him.

Sounded like a double cross.

Did you catch any names?

No, no names.

Except for the guy that double crossed him.

They called him the salesman.

Salesman.

Well, thanks very much.

We found some latent prints on the car and traces of blood on the floor and on

this, from the looks of it.

Whoever was wearing this is suffering from a gunshot wound in the wrist or the

arm. Better alert all nearby doctors and hospitals and advise the Bureau that

evidence is on the way in for examination.

Yes, sir.

You weren't supposed to be back till next week. Changed my plans.

I'm glad you're home.

Did you get a new job? Right.

Did you pick up another line?

I opened up a whole new territory.

Oh, Debbie's birthday, remember?

Daddy!

Debbie!

am I glad to see you.

Debbie, would you believe I forgot?

I forgot.

You forgive me?

Yeah, sure.

I mean, you don't want a present or anything like that.

Oh, thank you, Daddy.

A wristwatch.

Look at Mommy.

It's a wristwatch.

Beautiful. You go on back to your friends, baby.

Happy birthday.

Enjoy.

What's the matter? Have I worn out my welcome already?

Kurt, that watch you gave Debbie, it must have cost a fortune.

Close enough.

We can't afford that.

What is the best possible news that you could think of?

Tell me.

Well, how about having me home for good?

I mean, no more long road trips, no more goodbyes.

I'm not going to quit your job.

No?

I already have.

I'm going into business for myself.

Kurt, what's this all about?

From now on, I sit in the boss's chair. I look over the expense accounts.

What business?

It's that new clothing line, you know, that I always wanted to develop.

Didn't you say that takes a lot of financing?

I got the right people interested.

Who?

Marion, a long time ago, we made a bargain.

Now, you mind the house, and I'll buy the bread.

Is that bargain still on?

You're going to stand by me, trust me, hmm?

Always.

It's just that this is so abrupt. I couldn't imagine things changing so

This is just the beginning.

A lot of things are going to be different.

Tom picked it up off the floor. It was lying near the car.

It appears to be the same kind of watch worn by the subject in the photograph.

Could you trace it?

Yes, through the serial number and warranty.

It was Swiss made.

The owner reported it stolen over a month ago.

The blood found on the car floor and on the watch was type A.

That doesn't match ratamakers.

Our best lead right now is the invisible laundry mark found on the inside of the

costume shirt.

Report shows it was the mark of the Argo Laundry in St. Louis.

Uh, just a moment, Art.

Erkin. St. Louis calling, Inspector.

Hold on.

Art, uh, St. Louis is calling. I'll get back to you.

All right, Lewis.

Go ahead, Stu.

We've located Rattamaker's girlfriend, Inspector.

Her name is Mavis Barrett.

Police describe her as uncooperative.

She's working now at the Crown Bowling Alley on Arolo Street.

The manager told us she's been associating with a man of Rademacher's

description. We have her under surveillance.

Good. I'll see you in a few hours.

I found these in the closet.

The salesman plays golf.

That's going to help a lot.

You know, attorney, you got to get that thing looked at. Yeah.

How are you going to do that?

Doctors report gunshot wounds, Roderick.

Not all of them. I know a guy outside of town that's safe.

You want to go or not?

All right, let's go.

Let's get out of here. There's nothing here.

Hello?

Is Kurt there?

He's in the shower.

Can I help?

Just tell him Sally phoned.

Tell him I was worried.

I hadn't heard from him in a while.

Could you hold on a moment?

Kurt says could you come right on over?

Now? Yeah.

I'll be there in about ten minutes.

Right.

She might know something.

Okay, we'll wait for her. I gotta get us to do this pain.

Why don't you go with him and get some help, and I'll talk to her.

Okay.

His number will be...

Of course it's one of my costumes.

Where else could you find workmanship like that?

Do you remember who rented it?

Oh, he was around 30.

Perfect size 42.

He came in alone.

Is it the man?

No.

He came in and left a deposit check.

But the information he filled out on the card won't help you any. It's a phony.

I checked it when he didn't come back with the costumes.

And he picked up all four of them himself.

That's right. Two size 42s, 148 and 138.

These are the costumes?

Yeah. Did you find them?

Not yet.

You say, uh, you say pay by check.

That's the one thing that did come back.

He was the smoothest talker I ever saw.

I'm ashamed, gentlemen.

Ashamed.

Do you need these?

No, you can have them. It's a gift.

Kurt had to go out on a call. He asked if he'd come in and wait.

Come on in.

I'm, uh, Clint.

Sally Gaynor.

Hi.

Can I have a drink?

Oh, I'm afraid I don't know where he keeps things.

I'm afraid you don't even know Kurt Hardin.

Well, when did he move out?

I don't know.

I just took a lease this afternoon.

You called, and I liked your voice, and I can't blame a guy for trying.

Nope.

I better go.

Hey, am I that bad?

No, you're not.

Why don't I order something to drink?

Oh, no, there's no need for that.

But, well, if you're lonely, I'll talk to you.

Why don't you sit down? Come on.

You know, I think you're a very nice person.

You do?

You don't even know me.

I can tell.

Oh.

Sometimes I'm just not very smart.

I guess I...

Trust people too much.

You know, you can get hurt doing that.

You mean like this guy, Kurt?

Mm -hmm.

Oh, he was a salesman. A good one.

One date, and he had me believing in him.

Oh, he could really charm a gal.

Sounds like a smart operator.

What'd he tell you?

I'd rather talk about you.

Me?

I shouldn't have said that.

I shouldn't even be here.

I really have to leave.

Leave,

leave, leave, leave.

Please move out of the way.

Look, if you want to talk about me, you want to be with me, right?

No.

I wanted to be with Kurt.

But Kurt's gone, isn't he?

Why don't you just forget about him with me?

But I'd only be using you.

Use me. Use me. Go ahead. I don't mind.

All right.

Look, let's start again.

Okay.

I'm Clint.

I'm Sally.

Hi.

I went out to do some digging. You don't need an anesthetic. No anesthetic. I

want to see what you're doing.

Oh. What's this going to cost?

It ought to be very reasonable.

Use your phone?

It's in the other room.

Howie, where have you been?

Later, Mavis. I need some money. What are you holding?

Look, Howie... Never mind, look.

What do you got?

I don't know. I might have $500 last week. I haven't balanced my account yet.

Which bank?

It's the first trust. It's on 5th near the park.

Get me the money. Meet me at the park. One hour.

Howie, I cannot just walk out on this job. No, I can't do that.

Mavis, walk.

Your friend has a low pain threshold.

How much longer is it going to take?

It's hard to tell. The wound has to be drained.

I've got to go out for a while.

Tell him I'll come back for him.

Well, you like this one?

I hate to go back to reality.

We better leave before we're picked up for trespassing.

On our own property?

You're not serious.

Serious enough to make a down payment.

With what?

The financing on the new line.

I told you, it's already starting to snowball.

But you haven't even gone into production. Honey, that's the easiest

See, I sold the idea big. Look, petty cash.

I'm turning backers away.

How did it happen so quickly? I'm a salesman, you remember?

I finally decided to sell myself. It's as simple as that.

Come on.

Let's take a look at the rest of the house.

So all this is real?

Sure.

Kurt, I'd like to go home.

I couldn't handle this.

Honey, you won't have to.

You're going to have a maid.

You can have a gardener. You can have a cook if you want. I don't mean that.

Debbie would have to change schools. We'd be miles from our friends.

Are you scared? Is that it?

I'm a small -town girl, remember?

This is... Well, this is so much.

I've never moved this fast. I can't just tear up roots.

Kurt, give me a chance.

I don't think I can handle all this.

Aye.

Aye, aye, aye.

What about me? Don't I deserve something?

Ten years!

Ten years on the road, second -class hotels, every jerk water burger across

country. Kurt! No.

You should have seen me.

I wish you'd been there to see me begging and pleading with fat -bellied

sweating out commissions.

You can believe that I had plenty of time to think, and I learned how to

things. And now I've made it, and I'm going to keep it, and you're going to

with it. You hear me?

Try, honey, honest.

But I can't promise.

Now, how do you feel?

Where's Roderick?

Oh, he left.

Where? I don't know.

Now, if you will give me $1 ,000, I think we can conclude our business.

$1 ,000?

Hey,

what the... Sorry.

Oh, please.

Is that your car in the driveway?

Yes, yes.

Give me the key.

Yes. Thank you very much.

What's the status on Mavis Barrett?

She got left the First Trust National Bank and is driving south on Fifth

Still no contact with any of the subjects.

Yes.

The Bureau is calling. Mr. Ward.

Put it on the speaker, would you, Stu?

Yes, Art.

Lewis, the documents section has identified the person who rented the

through handwriting examinations.

It's Clenard Massey.

His identification record includes numerous arrests for forgery.

Do you have an address?

No, he was released from prison five years ago and dropped out of sight.

I've brought all the officers up to date.

You'll forward his records?

Right away.

One of the surveillance units just reported that Mavis Barrett made contact

a man who may be Rattamaker.

Where are they now?

Near Shaw Gardens, traveling north on Maple.

We'll join the surveillance, too. Right.

You gonna make me ask for it again?

$90. I thought you said $500.

I know. I must have written some checks I didn't know about.

Are you holding out on me, Mavis?

No, Harry. I'm honest.

You know I'd give you every dime I have.

I've got to have some money.

Pull in there.

Why? What are you going to do?

Howie, what are you going to do?

Be here when I come up.

One, go ahead.

Barrett's car has just stopped in front of a supermarket in Barker's Shopping

Center at Maple and Fifth.

The girl is still in the car.

All right, maintain surveillance and keep me advised.

Would you step out, please?

I didn't have anything to do with this. It was our router maker's idea.

You better stop him. He went in with a gun.

Are you the manager?

No, assistant. May I help you?

Yeah.

Now, let's you and me take a walk to the cashier's booth, nice and slow.

Maker, FBI.

That one goes in the den.

Sir, where do you want the TV?

In the living room.

The FBI is getting close in that case, aren't they?

As the FBI makes its first major breakthrough in the case.

The mastermind, Curtis Greer, will be driven to desperate efforts to cover his

tracks, only to discover that vengeful gang member Lyle Chernick has learned of

his whereabouts and begins a reign of terror which will jeopardize Greer and

family. Next week on the FBI.
