Original subtitles

Robert Berchtold, you're hereby ordered

to serve 15 days.

15 days?

The very first time I laid eyes on you,

I was transfixed.

Now I don't think I could live without your special light.

He is a deeply wicked man, Jani.

You're the ones who are tormenting me.

And I'm not a child!

I'd like to invite anyone

who wishes to bear their testimony.

Even if you bring her back, she's just gonna leave again.

I'll check with his parole officer,

but he wants to make it seem like

she left of her own volition.

You are a monster,

a heartless, vile excuse of a man,

and I will get my daughter away from you

if it is the last thing I do on this Earth!

Where are you, B?

Is Jan with you?

No. No.

No, Mary Ann.

No, she called, said she ran away.

Oh, I've been drinking myself sick all morning.

Hey, angel, hi.

Follow my instructions?

You leave a note like I told you to?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, good, good.

Hey, hey.

It's all right.

You're okay.

All right?

Okay.

Here.

Take one of these

just for the jitters.

Now...

After I drop you at the airport,

you do exactly like I told you to.

Okay?

My friends are gonna meet you to pick you up when you land.

You look beautiful.

I'll try to come out as soon as I can

so we can spend a little time together before school starts.

All right?

All right.

Now you close your eyes, get some rest.

Got a long trip ahead of you.

Mary Ann?

Mary Ann.

The FBI can't treat this as a kidnapping either,

not with the note.

As far as the Bureau is concerned,

Jan is a runaway.

I've been told to stand down

unless we find incriminating evidence.

But until then, my hands are tied.

I'm sorry.

This is all my fault.

It's easy to blame yourselves right now.

No one thinks that their best friend is a monster.

I'll do my best to keep track of Berchtold,

but the best plan is to make him comfortable enough

to contact you and make a mistake.

If you can get him on tape incriminating himself,

then I can help you.

You go along with the idea that Jan ran away,

at least to him.

To anybody else, you can tell whatever story you want.

But don't accuse him.

He is your only link to Jan right now.

You need to get him talking and let him lead us to her.

Hello, Brobergs.

Hi, Mary Ann. How are you?

Well...

Not good.

Oh, that, uh, husband of yours around?

He's working late at the store.

Well, I don't know if you heard,

but Gail and I are done, really and truly over.

And, uh...

and I got a place of my own here in Salt Lake City.

It's not much, but you know me--

You need to tell me where Jan is right now.

Well, it's funny you say that.

I just got through talking to Jan.

You did? What'd she say?

B, please.

She said she met two girls,

two older girls, out hitchhiking.

And they've been doing heaven knows what out on the road.

I said, "Jan, where are you?

You got everybody worried sick."

And she wouldn't tell me where she was.

Oh, she's just so mad at you and Bob.

She does not want to come back

and be a child in your home anymore.

She wants to be a grown adult?

Oh, Christ, she is right now.

She's 14.

It is pure hell, Mary Ann, not knowing where she is.

Oh, and just thinking about all the awful things

that might be happening to her out there.

You know, I said to her-- Mary Ann, I said,

"Jan, is there any way that you'll come back?"

And she said, "I told them

I want to marry you more than anything else in this world."

I said, "Jan, would you settle for if we

"kept it very, very quiet,

"and we went down to the justice of the peace,

and nobody knew, and you could still live at home?"

And she said, "Oh, B,

do you think there's a chance they'd let me?"

You are an evil man!

Evil!

I'm glad you're going to jail.

Damn him!

Just couldn't listen to that for another second.

Ah--pshh. Come on.

Hey, friend.

There something I can help you with?

Sure.

Where's Jan Broberg?

You know, I thought the FBI didn't investigate runaways.

Some people might say this is harassment.

Enjoy your vacation, Berchtold.

Starts today. Doesn't it?

Yeah. Yeah.

15 days in the pokey.

Might have enough time to read a book or two.

Well, you take care, Agent Welsh.

Don't wanna be late.

Pocatello will continue to be sweltering.

Despite intermittent cloud cover,

it will again be in the 90s.

Hello, Gail.

I heard the divorce went through.

May I come in?

Yes, of course.

What brings you by?

Um, I finished dropping Bob off at jail.

Oh.

And I wanted to

come express my grief

that Jan has run away again.

It must be so hard for you and Bob.

Thank you.

Of course, if you knew something,

anything that would give us a clue where she is,

you would tell us, right?

I did ask him about it.

I looked him dead in the eye,

and he told me that he didn't have anything to do

with Jan running off this time,

and I believe him.

Gail.

I think Jan truly felt like

she didn't have a choice.

She wants to be with him that much.

You can't really believe that.

You know...

I wasn't that much older than Jan

when Bob and I first met.

If she were my daughter,

I really think I would just let her marry him.

I guess if it brings her back,

what does it matter what a piece of paper says?

I see what you're doing,

and I pity you.

And shame on you

for still lying to protect him.

I married him.

And we have four beautiful children together.

What's your excuse?

You asked for me, sir?

Can you explain to me why this office

just received a fresh complaint about you

harassing Robert Berchtold?

Sitting in my own car is harassment?

What were you doing?

Trying to corroborate his claim that he wasn't

involved in the second disappearance of Jan Broberg.

I thought she left a note.

She misspelled her own mother's name.

Hoofbeats mean horses.

If she left a note saying she ran away, she ran away.

Stop wasting Bureau resources.

Thank you, sir.

Mary Ann, I heard from Jan again,

and even though the last time we spoke,

we had some words, I knew that I had to call you.

I'm glad you did now that you're out.

Last time we spoke,

I was really upset about Jan leaving.

Yeah, well, I figured that's what it was.

Lord knows I've been upset myself.

I'd probably still be passed out at some--

some bar if I didn't have to pay my debt to society.

So how did she sound?

Well, she's still hitchhiking with those two older girls.

It kills me to tell you this, Mary Ann,

but she's using heavy drugs.

Heroin, Mary Ann.

Oh.

Oh, dear.

And where was she calling from?

She didn't say,

but she said, "The only way that I'll come home

"is if I know that you and I can be man and wife.

"So ask them again, please,

to sign the papers, so we can get married."

So that means she'll be calling back

at some point then, right?

Yes, I suppose so, to hear your response.

Is it cold where she is?

She didn't bring much with her.

You know, I think she just really wants to come home.

We'll buy her a plane ticket.

Just tell us what airport.

Or could she take a bus?

Mary Ann, she's barely got enough change to call me.

I say, "Jan, how are you getting your money?"

And she says, "Hard."

Are you saying that you'll send her back

if we let her marry you?

It's not so much that I want to.

It's that if I had to, for her sake.

You know I love Jan.

So of course I'd marry her if that was the only way

to get her to come home and to know she's safe.

But I guess I'll find her myself

since you don't give a damn.

Okay, the good news is that we have him on tape

saying that he would marry her, right?

I mean, that's gotta be something

that Pete can work with, right?

- It's worth a shot. - Yeah.

You did great.

Well?

I wish it was enough.

He said he would marry her.

Not as a demand.

Brobergs.

Mary Ann, Bishop Paulson here.

Is Bob with you?

Yes, Bishop. He's right here.

Bishop, how are you?

Bob, Nicole and I were coming back from BYU today,

and we were passing through Ogden.

And I happened to notice a car going past.

And I am quite sure that it was Bob Berchtold at the wheel.

And I believe that it was Jan riding in the car with him.

You saw Jan in the car?

Yeah, I think so.

And you had said she was staying with her grandmother,

so I thought that was to put some space

between her and the Berchtold situation.

So I figured if they were spending time together,

you'd want to know about that.

Do you know where they were headed?

Could you tell?

Headed South on I-15.

They're near Ogden, like I said.

South on I-15. Thank you, Bishop.

Sure thing.

He's with her. He's with her.

She's in Ogden. Our Bishop saw her in his car.

Is she under duress?

Probably, I mean, I don't--

Surely that's enough for the FBI to get involved?

Yeah.

We need to disprove she's a runaway.

Contributing in the delinquency of a minor is a misdemeanor.

To open a federal case,

we need proof of interstate transport,

travel receipts, or a ransom demand,

or a confession on tape.

Couldn't you at least call the police department

in Ogden?

You can't open a case, but maybe they could

if they thought he was in the company of a runaway.

I can't.

I'm sorry.

It's not enough for the Bureau.

If I press too hard, they will cut me loose,

and you'll have no one there who cares about Jan.

But if the Bishop saw her, at least we know she's close.

Thanks a lot, Pete.

I'll see myself out.

Sorry I'm late.

Don't worry about fixing me a plate.

I don't have much of an appetite,

to be honest with you.

Yeah, I just don't know what to do.

Well, if you hear anything, please let us know right away.

Where are the girls? Are they okay?

- Jenny hasn't come home. - What?

Where is she? - I thought she was at Sally's.

I've called everywhere.

Hi.

How was the sleepover?

It was good.

Sally's mother called your mother

to thank her for letting Sally sleep here.

Where have you been?

It's not a big deal. We just went out to see a show.

I've been looking for you in ditches.

Dad, we're in Idaho.

Go to your room.

Ogden Police Department, how can I help you?

Peter Welsh, Pocatello FBI.

I'd like to speak with the ranking officer

on duty please.

Just one moment.

This is Captain Collins.

Hey, Terry, Pete Welsh here.

Listen, you didn't hear this from me,

but there's a guy down in Ogden

that I think you boys should know about.

We've been here all day.

Shouldn't we just go in or something?

I mean, if there's even a chance that she's in there.

At his known address where a parole officer could stop by?

No, we stick with the plan.

We wait, then we'll follow.

It's just wearing me down.

The waiting and the guilt.

Mary Ann...

I've forgiven you...

for everything.

That's him. That's him.

Get down.

There's somebody else in the car with him.

Is it Jan?

I can't tell.

Come on.

I think it's her. I think it's her.

So the girl that Bishop Paulson saw wasn't...

It was someone else's daughter.

With a mass spectrometer and other sensors,

NASA hopes to detect signs of life

from our sister planet.

Following up on the economy,

there is no easing up on the recession and inflation.

Meanwhile, here's an update on President Ford's...

I'll put you to bed.

Come on. I got ya.

From the National Crime desk tonight

comes news of another child abduction.

12-year-old Becky Williams of Orlando, Florida,

has been missing since she got off her bus,

which was only a half a mile

and ten minute walk from her home.

Friends of Becky reported noticing a man

talking to her after the bus had already pulled away.

So much of what people call truth isn't even reality.

I mean, it's just their perception

of what reality and the truth is.

Hmm.

Well, all right, I sure am glad

that I get to go to boarding school while we're out here,

while we finish the mission.

I wonder if it'll be weird, though, being Catholic.

Oh, you're gonna do just fine.

You're the best actress I know.

You're gonna win an Oscar one day.

Just hope I can make friends at Sacred Heart.

I almost miss Karen, and Susan, and Caroline.

Well, I hate to disappoint you, Dolly,

but I don't think Zada and Zethra would want you

making friends, not with those Catholic girls.

Sacred Heart's just temporary

until Mary Ann and Bob sign the marriage papers.

To do the mission, we need to spend

as much time as possible together

over the next two years before you turn 16.

The only way that happens is if they sign those papers.

Everything depends on those papers.

What's that got to do with making friends

while I'm there?

We don't want to slip up and compromise the mission.

You know, Zada told me something

that I think might cheer you up.

One of the nuns there is from their planet,

just like you.

I don't know which one,

but she'll be watching over you.

Can I talk to her?

Oh, I think it's probably best not to.

You might talk to the wrong one, say too much.

And I don't think Zada and Zethra would like that.

Oh, I almost forgot.

I got one more surprise for you.

It's a portable TV.

I saw one just like this in a magazine.

Well, now you can watch "Bionic Woman"

and "Charlie's Angels" and all that.

But you got to keep it a secret.

No TVs allowed at school.

Thank you.

Watch it when you're lonely and think of me,

the Six Million Dollar Man.

You know, I met Lee Majors about two years

before that show came out.

And I told him I had an idea for a program

about an astronaut who gets injured.

And then I turn on the TV, and I see that show,

and I think, gosh darn it.

That's my idea.

I wouldn't want to be out here in Hollywood

with all those "pinkos" anyways.

Her mother passed tragically when we were escaping the PLO.

I find it best not to speak to her about it.

You know, luckily, Jerry has--

Sorry.

It's a force of habit.

President Ford has been so supportive.

We're proud to support the work you do

for the White House in any way we can, Mr. Tobler.

Well, thank you, sisters.

I'm sure she'll be just fine here.

You know, the CIA investigated your school.

So I know just about everything there is to know

about Flintridge Sacred Heart.

Would you excuse me?

Remember what I told you, Dolly.

One of them will be watching over you.

Got it?

Okay.

Come here.

You take care of my Janis now.

Of course.

I can't believe what I've been hearing,

Martians, flying saucers.

I know this is gonna sound crazy,

but there was something out there.

I saw it. - You saw it?

Come on, Oscar. What'd you see?

A flying saucer.

Everything that these people are saying is true.

A great big flying saucer. - Really?

Wait, wait, what about Bill Robinson?

He's a UFO expert. Did he see it too?

He hasn't got the faintest idea about it,

but it was there.

It flew over them and then disappeared.

Disappeared?

Yes, it was a beam, a light.

And they just ride horses all day.

- So jealous. - I don't even understand.

Well, hey, new girl.

You don't need to look so nervous.

We don't bite. What's your name?

Janis. Janis Tobler.

Well, where are you from, Janis Tobler?

Um, well, before here, my dad and I were in Lebanon.

Are there any cute guys there?

I don't really like to talk about it.

Okay. Suit yourself.

Did you know Melissa Sue Anderson

from "Little House on the Prairie" goes here?

Anyway, next weekend, there's going to be a pool.

So that means bring your bathing suits.

Oh, Janis, come in.

Have a seat.

What can I help you with?

I just wanted to ask about something.

What is it?

Ask anything you like.

Are you...

Are you...

like me?

I'm not sure what you mean, Janis.

Are you sure you're all right?

Yeah. No, I'm sorry.

I just don't think that I'm feeling very--

Janis.

I know what this is about.

You miss your mother, don't you?

Losing a parent is hard.

There's nothing wrong with being sad about it.

But you can always turn to the Lord for comfort.

And don't forget. You still have your father.

You're lucky to have him watching over you.

Yeah.

I am.

- Hi. - Hey.

I sure am glad you came to visit,

even if it's just for the weekend.

You're the only person I can really talk to.

You been doing like we talked about,

staying focused on the mission?

Yeah, of course.

That's my girl.

Oh.

Here.

There's something I've been itching to share with you.

It's a little something I wrote.

And then I want you to write something.

Write what?

Just a few words from the heart.

We'll get there.

First...

this is from a little something I call

"A Season in the Sun."

It's sort of a memoir.

What's that?

Oh, that's where you write down

your memories from the best parts of your life in a book.

So this one's all about you, Dolly.

There's quite a few publishers interested,

and even talk of $1/4 million advance.

We'll see. - Wow.

"Even as Mary Ann and Bob

"try to keep us apart out of jealousy and spite,

"the only thing I can hang on to

"through this whole mess is Jan's love.

"I know with all my soul that I would die for her.

More important than that..."

He's willing to live

and endure everything you can throw upon him.

He'd go through it all for me and so much more,

more than you can ever imagine,

with all your hang-ups and old-fashioned ways.

We have a special connection, the two of us.

I left home because I was sick to death

of putting on the little girl act

just because it's what everyone expected of me.

I've had all I could take of the battle

between you and me over B.

He had been mine from the beginning,

and you had no right to him.

Most of all, on this Earth, I want to be B's wife.

And I know our love will go on into eternity,

no matter what you, or Bob, or anyone else on this Earth

does to us.

"I would like very much to start a new relationship

"with you on a woman-to-woman basis.

Maybe then we'd learn to enjoy each other."

"Please do whatever needs to be done

so that I can return and marry B."

"Love, Jan."

Morning.

Hey, Greg.

Did you have a chance to track down that psychologist

from the Broberg case, the one that came by

the first time he took her, Dr. Milstein?

Yeah, that clinic closed over a year ago.

And the last former employee I spoke with said

that Dr. Milstein's on a sabbatical

somewhere in Argentina.

If we could locate him, that would help establish

a pattern of behavior.

Berchtold is going to do this with other kids.

He's not gonna stop.

You know, listen, I think this LDS Social Services

in the Mormon church--

they had access to Berchtold's files,

since they're the ones that referred him.

So we should talk to them too.

Pete, Pete, Pete, what are you talking about?

I'm not gonna do any of this.

I know you've gotten close to these people.

But I'd like to go out in the Bureau's good graces.

So I'm gonna follow Flynn's direct order

not to work on the Broberg case.

And you should too.

He's right in there.

Thank you.

Bishop Paulson, Agent Peter Welsh, FBI.

Is this a good time?

Agent Welsh, come in.

Really appreciate you taking the time to see me.

Not at all.

Have a seat.

Oh, honey, you want to wait downstairs?

We shouldn't be too long.

Ever since she's in college, I gotta steal

whatever father-daughter time I can get.

Well, I'm just checking to see

if we missed anything from our initial investigation.

The LDS Social Services is mentioned several times.

Can you explain to me what that is?

Mm-hmm, that's a nonprofit operated by the LDS church

that provides counseling for members in need.

Mm-hmm, and why was Berchtold seeking counseling?

No, he was referred by me, his Bishop.

Oh, that must have been summer of '74.

But Jan wasn't taken until October that year.

So why refer him?

Well, Bob Berchtold actually--

He had made inappropriate overtures

toward my daughter, Nicole.

To your daughter?

How old was she at the time?

At that time, she was 14.

And he was a member of the High Council.

The High Council?

The High Council--

it sounds high and mighty, but we're a lay clergy.

So members of the church were called on to volunteer.

I've been a Sunday school teacher,

scout leader, high councilman, and now, Bishop.

So, yes, Bob...

Bob Berchtold was on the High Council.

But then when we learned that his condition

had gotten worse, he was excommunicated

and referred to LDS Social Services.

What do you mean, his condition had gotten worse?

Disciplinary matters before the Council--

they're supposed to be confidential, Agent Welsh.

Mm.

How about first I tell you

what I know about Robert Berchtold?

I know he doesn't feel emotions the way that we do.

I know that he will lie, manipulate, intimidate,

and blackmail to get the only thing that he wants,

which is access to young girls.

And I know that he is doing it right now as we speak.

So, Bishop, if you know anything

that might help us stop him,

it is incumbent on your conscience

and on your soul to share that with me right now.

Well...

Excuse me.

The reason that he was excommunicated

was because he told us

that he had drugged Jan Broberg

on multiple occasions

and acted out

sexual fantasies,

masturbation and...

limited, uh, intercourse

while she slept.

Before the first kidnapping?

Did anyone tell law enforcement?

Did anyone tell the Brobergs?

Agent, our religion,

it is built upon the pillars

of faith and repentance.

Okay.

We believe that Jesus Christ is our Savior,

and he died and paid for our sins.

If we repent...

He forgives us.

Our main teaching is to try

to become like him.

He's been doing this for years.

You could have stopped it.

He had repented, and...

I thought I was doing the right thing.
