All language subtitles for The FBI s09e05 The Exchange

I don't understand what's happening
here. Please come and get me.

That's enough.

Okay, okay.

What are you doing to her?

I realize Mrs.

Benson's life is in jeopardy, but isn't
there a less dangerous way?

She's been a hostage for over a week.
I'm afraid time's running out.

They didn't get that silver plate in his
head quick enough back in Vietnam. His

brains are still scrambled. You say
that.

He should have stuck to demolition
derbies. He's a natural talent for

destruction.

I'm warning you, Captain, you better lay
off.

Vincent, I'm going to put your wife on
again. No tricks and no more stalling.

Just remember this. You stand to lose
your wife.

Tonight's episode, The Exchange.

Phil, I have a note here for you.

They're sending two new guards for the
early pickup.

Who authorized it? Company dispatcher.

Why wasn't I informed?

Call came when you're on your rounds.

In here.

Sign. Sign here, please.

Put it there.

I said put it there. Hang on.

Matt!

All right, put your hands on your head.

Nobody moves, nobody follows.

Got it?

Come on.

We got to get rid of these sacks.

Get rid of them.

Come on.

Come on, pull that up.

Go on, drop it.

Those are great.

On the afternoon of June 4th, two armed
men held up Bayshore Park, escaping with

$261 ,000.

Seriously wounded was Phil Jamieson,
chief security officer at the track.

Because a second car that was stolen for
use in the getaway was discovered

abandoned across a state line, the FBI
was brought into the case.

Inspector Louis Erskine was immediately
placed in charge of the investigation.

We operated and removed the bullet.

It's 50 -50.

Can I have a word with him?

That's about all.

Mr. Jameson, it's Inspector Erskine,
FBI.

Ed... Ask Ed Benson... What should I ask
him?

I hope whatever he said will help.

That's all you're going to get for a
while.

Thank you.

Sam?

You go out of the way.

Don't you tell me a few seconds.

Mention it, Benson.

Benson? He's an employee at Pratt.

He thought me and then they took the
truck.

They tied the two of you up and put you
in the storage room. Well, I want to

thank all of you very, very much.

It must have been a pretty harrowing
experience.

Local police have described this daring
holdup and getaway as a thoroughly

professional job, executed with almost
military precision.

Track officials have now estimated their
loss in excess of $250 ,000.

Just don't spend any of it.

What do you mean? You pulled it off. You
got the money. You got away.

Murph, what's the matter?

We blew it.

Blew it? How?

Ray? Ask your boyfriend.

I'm asking you, what happened?

Building a kid here gunned down a
security man. That's what happened.

Quarter of a million down the drain.

Look, get off my back, Captain. It was
your idea to dump it. Dump it? Dump it?

Where? It's still at the track.

Hidden. You left it there and ran?

That's right.

You locked your nerve.

What did you say?

I just said... You say that again and
you're dead. Is that clear?

Murph? Hey!

I asked you a question, lady.

All right, Captain, sir.

Look, we're in a tough spot, Marty.

We had to pull out because we're afraid
of getting pinned down. Ray had to make

a decision.

I said, all right.

What happened now, Captain?

Somebody's got to go back for the money.

No.

What do you mean, no?

I mean, you're not going to do it. Every
time there's a dirty job to be done,

you're the one that's got to do it.

Why?

Why? Why?

It's all he's good for, that's why. It's
all he was ever good for. Cut it out.

They didn't get that silver plate in his
head quick enough back in Vietnam. His

brains are still scrambled. Don't say
that.

He should have stuck to demolition
derbies or destroying cars. He had a

talent for destruction.

I'm warning you, Captain, you better lay
off.

Our board is going to do it for us.

Yes? Mr. Benson?

Edward Benson?

Yes, what is it?

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

I've already talked to the police today.
They have my whole statement.

Well, we'd like to talk to you.

Oh.

All right.

Come in.

I don't think I can add anything to what
I've already said.

Could anything have slipped your mind in
all the confusion?

It's possible. The whole thing was like
a nightmare.

Do you have any word on Phil's...
Jameson's condition?

He's in a coma.

Oh, my God.

But he managed to say a few words first.

He said to ask you.

About what?

I don't know.

I thought perhaps you could help us.

I wish I could.

Right now, my mind's a blank.

Hello?

Benson, we've got a little problem here,
and you're going to help solve it for

us before you get your wife back.

Oh, Mrs.

Johnson, I'm sorry. I didn't recognize
your voice. Look, my wife's not at home.

She's spending a few days with her
brother.

Look, I can't talk now. I've got two FBI
men here with me.

I'll call you later.

The FBI is there.

Don't worry. He won't talk.

Pay for my wife.

You have to cut her off, or she'll talk
your ear off.

Well, where were we?

Mr. Jameson.

Oh, yes.

Something Jameson wanted to ask me
about.

Has anything occurred to you?

Well, the only thing I can think of is
that call from the armored car

dispatcher. Of course, it wasn't really
him, but I didn't know that at the time.

About the change in guards?

Phil wasn't in the office when the call
came through.

He was terribly upset.

Quite properly so, as it turned out.

Because all I did was take the message.

Do you suppose that's what it was?

I don't know.

Is it something else?

No, I think not.

The way the job went off, there almost
had to be an inside man.

Benson just doesn't seem right for it
somehow.

Or does he?

I want continuous surveillance on him.

23 to control.

We'll wait here till they arrive.

Somebody wants to say hello to you,
Benson.

Come on.

Ed.

Ed, darling.

I'm so frightened.

I don't understand what's happening
here. Please come and get me.

That's enough. Ed!

Okay, okay.

What are you doing to her?

Don't hurt her.

Please, don't hurt her. Look, I'll do
anything you say. Just don't hurt my

I won't hurt her if you do. exactly as I
tell you, understand?

Yes.

If you want to see her again, you
remember that.

It's you, Mr. Benson.

It's okay, Steve.

Working pretty late tonight.

Yes.

Yes. Well, we'll all be working overtime
until we get this nest straightened

out. Yes, I... I know what you mean.

Well, that was quite a hit.

Any leaves to the hold -up gang?

No. No, I don't think so.

At least, uh, not yet.

Come on, I'll walk you up to your
office.

That won't be necessary.

Oh, no problem. Part of the service. I
said that won't be necessary.

Thanks.

Anyways, dear.

Hold it right there, Mr. Benson.

They made me do it.

They're holding my wife for a week.

They phoned...

I had to do it. I... I had... I... I had
to do it.

I realize Mrs.

Benson's life is in jeopardy.

But isn't there a less dangerous way?

Just a moment, Arthur.

It's been a hostage for over a week. I'm
afraid time's running out.

But the men who pulled the robbery saw
Mr.

Benson when they took the money.

Well, Arthur, Benson can't make the
delivery. He's in a state of total

Well, all right, Lewis.

I'll go to the motel and wait for the
call.

Here you are, sir.

Has there been a call for me, Benson?

No, sir.

Thank you.

22 is down the hall to your left.

Hello? Benson?

Yes, it's me.

Have you got the money?

Why else would I be here?

Now, let me talk to my wife.

You talked to her last night.

Yes, and the last thing I heard her say
was, let me alone.

I want to know she's all right.

Look, I'm calling the shots here, so
don't come on strong with me.

But how do I know what you've done to
her?

Maybe she's dead. Maybe...

How are we doing on the trace?

We're working on it.

Now, you listen to me.

You've had things all your way.

But don't forget, I'm holding cards now,
too.

I've got the money.

And I'm not letting go of it until I
know the data's alive and well.

Look, I can't talk to you when you're
like this. You call off and I'll call

later.

What's the matter?

I don't know. Somebody's put a stick
down his back.

Now he's making demands.

He wants to talk to it.

If all he wants is to talk to his wife,
let him.

Did it ever occur to you, Big Mama, that
he's already been to the cops and he

might be trying to keep me on the phone
so they could run a trace?

Well, what are you going to do? Give up
on a quarter of a million dollars?

It needs working out.

Hey, if you can do the job better, it's
all yours.

Too short, Lou. Another couple of
minutes and we'd have a trace.

He'll call again.

Maybe next time.

What's the matter? Don't you like my
cooking?

What do you think he's going to do?

I think he's going to crack.

Captain?

He's on the edge.

One more shove and he's going to crack
up.

Oh, come on.

If you'd seen that guy, Nam, he's got
more guts than a crate of tigers.

This isn't Vietnam, Murph.

Maybe he left it there.

Or maybe he needs a uniform to keep his
back straight.

You don't know him.

But I know men, lover.

And I know when they aren't men any
longer.

He's lost his... Murph, come here.

She talks to her husband for ten
seconds. If she goes over, we cut her

Then what?

Then we go for the money.

I've got it all worked out so there
won't be any trap.

And who goes out to get it?

I do.

Hello?

Hello. Just a minute.

Now, tell him you're safe.

And you tell him you haven't been
mistreated. And to do everything he's

he wants to see you again. You
understand?

I want to say something to him. Just
that and nothing more.

Hello, Benson?

Yes? All I want to do is to remind him
to use his eye drops because he has weak

eyes. He has glaucoma.

He tends to forget to use his eye drops.

Can't I just say that?

The answer is no.

Benson, I'm going to put your wife on
again.

Just remember this. You stand to lose
your wife.

Ed? It's me. It's Ada.

Is that you?

Listen, Ed, my dear, I'm all right. I'm
quite all right. They haven't hurt me at

all.

Ed?

Ed, darling, are you there?

Yes.

What? I can't hear you. Do as I told
you.

Ed, my dear, please. Do exactly as they
say to you, please.

And don't forget to use your eye drops.
We told you not to say anymore. Why must

you be so rough?

All right, Benson, are you satisfied?

Yes, yes.

Please, please don't hurt her.

I'll do anything you say.

Of course I'm here. Where are you?

I have new instructions for you.

Turn left as you leave where you are.

Drive 11 miles west on Highway 16.

You got it?

Yes, yes.

Highway 16, 11 miles.

Okay. You'll come to a service station
on the right -hand side of the road.

Be there at 1045.

Well, I'm not sure I... Be there!

Erskine, do all units on the special.

They're going to run me from place to
place while they're checking

I'm on my way to a service station 11
miles west from the last contact point

Highway 16.

Do you read?

10 -4.

The area is covered. As soon as the
rendezvous is established, we'll form an

outer ring. We're in position to move in
quickly.

Do you read me, Inspector?

Right.

Let's make sure all units stay well
back, even after the car has bought it.

And don't move in unless it's absolutely
necessary.

A picnic area?

Yes, I understand.

I'll be there as soon as I can.

Don't bother, Benson.

Is that the money?

Yes. Just drop it on the ground.

Where's Ada?

One thing at a time.

Where's my wife?

First, I want to check those sacks.

The money's all there. I haven't even
opened them.

All right, open them now. I want to see
for myself.

It's okay.

All right, Vincent, freeze.

What's wrong?

I don't know. I don't know something.

Look here.

You've got the money. What more do you
want?

You know something, mister?

I let a VC go once.

And then he turned and he fired three
slugs into my leg.

Then he had to take it off.

I'm sorry, mister.

Yes, but I did everything you want. I
brought the money and I...

We're getting out.

Raiden back yet?

He isn't coming, lover.

That's crazy. He'll come.

Why shouldn't he come?

I don't know whether he's got the money
and run out on us. No, not a chance.

He'd never do that. Or maybe he walked
into a trap.

A trap?

The police could be sweating him right
now.

Look at you, and you're calling him
yelling. You know what I think? I think

you're the one that's looking for an
excuse to bug out.

Morty, I don't want to give up on
getting the money now. I can't give it

Grow up, lover.

Your great big hero isn't coming back.

There isn't going to be any money.

Are

you

coming or staying?

I'm not doing anything until I find out
for sure what's happened. Well, then why

don't you find out?

And how do I do that?

Call the motel, lover. That's all you
have to do.

Why the motel?

Talk to Benson. He'll tell you the
score. He has to.

We've still got his wife.

Mr. Benson doesn't answer.

No, I don't know when he's expected.

Yeah, yeah, I know my rights.

Name, rank, and serial number. That's
all you get.

Can't you pick up the money?

How are you going to explain that?

I'm not.

Curtis, where's Mrs. Benson?

Where's who?

Doesn't an innocent woman's life mean
anything to you?

I've seen a lot of innocent people die
in my time.

Lose its impact after a while.

Is that a fact?

Still not there?

Well, we better go.

Hey, for a quarter of a million dollars,
we can wait five more minutes.

Now, we're not getting another shot at
that kind of money.

I guess you'll have to go back to
smashing up cars.

Hey, Morty, you want a split? Split!

With $250 ,000, I'll buy a dozen of you.

This time, pretty.

Segway Motel.

No, I'm sorry, Mr. Benson still
hasn't... Oh, oh, oh, just a minute.

now.

Mr. Benson, phone.

You can take it over there.

Where were you, Benson? What happened?

What happened? Nobody met me.

What kind of people are you?

He told me, but Ray didn't.

Have you still got the money?

Of course I've still got it.

What about my wife?

What about my wife?

You hang on a minute.

There's a Mexican restaurant on
Barnsdale Road.

It opens at 11 o 'clock in the morning.

You be there when it opens tomorrow and
wait for my call.

Ray never showed. Can you believe that?
He wins a silver star and he chickens.

I'm asking to Daniel. Can you read me?
10 -4.

There ain't another chance, Chris.

I'll have to make the most of it.

Move up faster and I'll get the signal.

Yes, sir.

Lou, if someone confronts you with Mrs.
Benson, you've got to expect a reaction

might give you away.

This looks like it.

No bones here.

All you can turn, please.

I'm probably being watched from the
hillside.

you

Chris, check all units.

I've been here 40 minutes.

Something may have gone wrong.

Chris, there's a message here.

Bring the money and follow this path for
two miles. You will be met and watched.

If you follow those instructions, we're
going to be out of contact.

You just have to do your best.

There's no way we can cover you.

Mrs. Benson doesn't have anyone covering
her.

I realize that, but... That's the way it
is, Chris.

Not getting a thing. He's already out of
range.

What do you want to do?

Where'd you have to go, Mr. Benson?

Put the money down and start on back.

What about my wife?

You'll make the payment and take the
delivery when it comes.

That's all very well, but once you've
got the money, what's to stop you from

killing her?

There's nothing to stop me from killing
you right now.

Now put out the money and beat it.

So you can shoot me in the back?

Back or front, it makes no difference.
Go on, move!

What's that noise? Don't move, Benson.

Cut.

You've got to cut.

That's ridiculous.

I'll tell you one thing.

If the police are here, that'll bring
them in a hurry.

Okay, okay, pick up the bag, Bits. We're
getting out of here. Go on, move!

Pick it up!

Anybody tries to stop us and you're
dead!

Remember what I said, I got nothing to
lose.

Which way?

Straight ahead.

He's out of range or he's... All units,
all units, report

positions.

Where's that chopper?

Can't hit it now.

Proves nothing. Maybe it landed close
by.

Get in. You're driving.

Get cute and you bought it.

You're going to kill me, aren't you?

What would you do?

I won't talk. I've promised I won't
identify you.

Here.

You could use a drink.

You know something?

You're not so pretty anymore.

What did you bring him for?

The chopper flew over. I couldn't tell
if it was the cops.

It's safer to bring him. Here.

Come on, get out.

Get in the house.

Ada, my dear.

What have they done to you?

This is monstrous.

Thank God you're all right.

It's all over now, my dear.

I'm going to take you home.

Take a look at that, baby. How about
that?

We did it.

We brought it in.

So what do you have to say, babe?

Beautiful. Who is this guy?

Who? What, Benson? How do you know?

You got a big love affair going, huh?

She didn't seem very happy to see you.

Well, for heaven's sake, can't you see
she's terrified?

Here.

You got some identification, Mr. Benson?

Identification? Of course I have. Are
these yours?

Are you nearsighted, Mr. Benson?

Can you see me from here?

window glass.

You've been had, lover.

What? He's a phony, a ringer.

What are you, a cop?

FBI.

Are you lousy creep?

All units, move in. All units.

This is a microphone.

And this place is surrounded by agents.

What?

He's bluffing.

I'll get the car out.

Do what you have to do.

No witnesses, Murph.

Do it!

I knew there was something wrong up
there in those mountains. I should have

you have it then.

Yeah, it might have been your only
chance.

Don't kid me, mister. If there were cops
around here, they'd be here by now.

Well, that's not what I meant.

What?

Your girlfriend.

With a quarter of a million dollars,
what does she need you for?

She needs me, man.

Does she?

She's got the car, she's got the money,
and she's going to drive right on out.

Is Mrs. Benson all right?

Are you sure you're

all right, Ed?

I'm fine, dear.

Everything's fine now.

You sure?

See you tomorrow.

Good night, Nancy.

Good night.

Do you think I'll have to face charges?

Well, that's up to the U .S. Attorney.

Well, that's something to worry about
when the time comes.

Ray Curtis, Desmond Murphy, and Marty
Nolan were convicted on state charges of

kidnapping, armed robbery, and
conspiracy.

And they were convicted in federal court
for interstate car theft.

and assaulting federal officers.

Security Guard Phil Jemison fully
recovered from his wounds.
