WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.000 The Adventures of Frank Race, starring Paul Dubov. 00:05.000 --> 00:18.000 The war changed many things, the face of the earth and the people on it. 00:18.000 --> 00:25.000 Before the war, Frank Race worked as an attorney, but he traded his law books for the cloak and dagger of the OSS. 00:25.000 --> 00:29.000 And when it was over, his former life was over too. 00:29.000 --> 00:53.000 Adventure had become his business, The Adventures of Frank Race. 00:53.000 --> 01:04.000 And now we join Frank Race for The Adventure of the Mormon Country. 01:04.000 --> 01:09.000 A dinner jacket is hardly the thing to wear to Joe Bell's saloon on the Lower East Side. 01:09.000 --> 01:17.000 When I was wearing mine, clinging to the hope that the call from Bruce Benton of Trans-Pacific Life Insurance was nothing more than the gag of a warped mind. 01:17.000 --> 01:23.000 If it was, I had a date with a lady that I'd be able to keep later, but it wasn't a gag. 01:23.000 --> 01:27.000 Benton was there in an isolated booth as Mark Donovan and I walked in. 01:27.000 --> 01:32.000 There, thought I was kidding you, didn't you? Well, that's Benton over there, ain't it? 01:32.000 --> 01:39.000 It's Benton, all right. And that, I fear, means that my lady of the evening dines alone. 01:39.000 --> 01:40.000 Hello, Race. 01:40.000 --> 01:41.000 Hello, Bruce. 01:41.000 --> 01:43.000 I told you I'd dig him up, Mr. Benton. 01:43.000 --> 01:44.000 Thanks, Donovan. 01:44.000 --> 01:45.000 It's all right. 01:45.000 --> 01:46.000 Sit down, boys. 01:46.000 --> 01:47.000 What's up, Bruce? 01:47.000 --> 01:53.000 This saloon is hardly the type of place for an insurance company vice president to be keeping late office hours. 01:53.000 --> 01:57.000 Something came up. Something I'd rather handle in an unorthodox manner. 01:57.000 --> 02:01.000 I called you to the office or picked one of the usual meeting places. 02:01.000 --> 02:04.000 Well, that wouldn't be quiet, would it? 02:04.000 --> 02:07.000 A foundry would be more quiet than this joint. 02:07.000 --> 02:11.000 Quiet was the poor choice of words. Let's say secret. 02:11.000 --> 02:12.000 What's the job? 02:12.000 --> 02:18.000 First, I want you to be a go-between in the payment of $50,000. It's ransom money, Race. 02:18.000 --> 02:20.000 Has somebody in your family been kidnapped? 02:20.000 --> 02:24.000 No. Victim is Walter Kruger, one of our policy holders. 02:24.000 --> 02:26.000 Wait a minute. I know that guy. 02:26.000 --> 02:29.000 Who doesn't? Walter Kruger, better known as Sonny Kruger. 02:29.000 --> 02:32.000 Playboy and heir to one of the largest fortunes in the country. 02:32.000 --> 02:35.000 But how is it you're being tapped for the ransom, Bruce? 02:35.000 --> 02:39.000 We're dealing with a clever gang, Race. They haven't bothered the family. 02:39.000 --> 02:43.000 They're dealing on a business basis without risking any emotionalism. 02:43.000 --> 02:45.000 I still can't see why you want to pay off. 02:45.000 --> 02:52.000 We have Kruger insured for $300,000. With double indemnity, that's $600,000. 02:52.000 --> 02:54.000 If we don't pay off, they'll kill him. 02:54.000 --> 02:55.000 Holy cow. 02:55.000 --> 02:59.000 That is smart. Either you pay the 50 Gs or lose 600 Gs. 02:59.000 --> 03:04.000 I can see your point, but I can't buy it, Bruce. Refuse him calling the FBI. 03:04.000 --> 03:08.000 Don't get me wrong, Race. I'm not playing ball with him. 03:08.000 --> 03:11.000 I'm just trying to save Kruger's life. 03:11.000 --> 03:15.000 Once he's set free, we'll spend a million if we have to to bring the criminals in. 03:15.000 --> 03:18.000 That's better. Where do I start? 03:18.000 --> 03:22.000 There's $50,000 and $20 bills in this lunch pail. 03:22.000 --> 03:27.000 I've named you as go-between. They'll contact you and arrange for the pickup. 03:27.000 --> 03:29.000 I don't know when or how. 03:29.000 --> 03:31.000 And after I deliver? 03:31.000 --> 03:36.000 We have the serial numbers, naturally. All banks will be informed and alerted. 03:36.000 --> 03:40.000 When we pin them down to a central point of operation, then you can go after them, Race. 03:40.000 --> 03:43.000 And no holds barred. All right? 03:43.000 --> 03:44.000 I'll take it. 03:44.000 --> 03:49.000 Good. Now, I guess you might as well drift out of here. 03:49.000 --> 03:53.000 Now, there's a side door. I'll have another drink and leave later. 03:53.000 --> 03:56.000 Right. Come on, Mark. Let's go. 03:56.000 --> 04:01.000 Brother, carrying that kind of dough in this joint ain't a happy idea, do you? 04:01.000 --> 04:03.000 Especially the way you address them. 04:03.000 --> 04:06.000 I'll be out soon. Then I'm in for a lonely evening at the telephone. 04:06.000 --> 04:09.000 And if the lady calls, I'll have to hang up. 04:09.000 --> 04:13.000 Oh, yeah. I left the car in front of the joint. 04:13.000 --> 04:16.000 I guess we can go through this alley here. 04:16.000 --> 04:20.000 Sure, come through. But don't be in a hurry. 04:20.000 --> 04:25.000 He stood in the shadow of a doorway where the streetlight at the end of the alley couldn't pick out his face. 04:25.000 --> 04:27.000 But the gun in his hand was very visible. 04:27.000 --> 04:31.000 Two other men were crouched behind the rubbish cans at the far side of the alley. 04:31.000 --> 04:35.000 You got a package to deliver. Start unloading. Just drop it on the ground. 04:35.000 --> 04:36.000 It's rather valuable. 04:36.000 --> 04:41.000 Yeah, I know it's valuable. Don't monkey around. 04:41.000 --> 04:43.000 Now, may I have a receipt? 04:43.000 --> 04:46.000 Well, I'd give you one, but I don't think you'd like it. 04:46.000 --> 04:49.000 Walk to your car slow and get lost. 04:49.000 --> 04:53.000 I'll do it, reluctantly. I hope we meet again someday. 04:53.000 --> 04:54.000 Think we can jump off? 04:54.000 --> 04:56.000 No. It's their play this time. 04:56.000 --> 04:59.000 Look, I don't know what you're mumbling, but I don't like it. Now move. 04:59.000 --> 05:02.000 Come on, Marcus. 05:02.000 --> 05:05.000 We'll send our guest home in a couple of days. 05:05.000 --> 05:08.000 Meanwhile, be like the little Fisk boy. 05:08.000 --> 05:12.000 It's time to retire before somebody blows your candle out. 05:20.000 --> 05:23.000 I knew it. I knew it. It happens every time. 05:23.000 --> 05:24.000 What's the matter, Mark? 05:24.000 --> 05:28.000 Every time I get in one of these cases, which it starts out on nice solid ground, 05:28.000 --> 05:34.000 but sooner or later you drag me into the wild blow yonder, and I ain't no papi point. 05:34.000 --> 05:36.000 Relax and take a look at this map. 05:36.000 --> 05:38.000 Rantum bills have turned up in all the circled areas. 05:38.000 --> 05:41.000 Cities in Idaho, Montana, Arizona, Nevada. 05:41.000 --> 05:44.000 Yeah, that's great. So how are you going to find a guy who's pushing? 05:44.000 --> 05:49.000 There's one good-sized city in the area that hasn't been touched. Right there. 05:49.000 --> 05:53.000 Yeah. Salt Lake City. You figure they'll try to unload some of the dough there? 05:53.000 --> 05:56.000 No. They must have skipped Salt Lake City for a reason. 05:56.000 --> 06:00.000 And I think the reason is simple. They're working out of Salt Lake City. 06:00.000 --> 06:03.000 They wouldn't push any of the bills too close to their base. 06:03.000 --> 06:07.000 Oh. You were ever been in Salt Lake before, right? 06:07.000 --> 06:09.000 In the winter. It's great for sheeing. 06:09.000 --> 06:11.000 Sheeing? You mean girls? 06:11.000 --> 06:14.000 Maybe. Maybe I'd better say skiing before you get into trouble. 06:14.000 --> 06:17.000 This is Mormon country, and you'd better be on your good behavior. 06:17.000 --> 06:20.000 Yeah. I'll grow wings and make like an angel. 06:20.000 --> 06:24.000 As a matter of fact, I feel a lot safer up here with a spare set of wings. 06:24.000 --> 06:27.000 Oh, go get yourself a magazine. I want to take a nap. 06:27.000 --> 06:29.000 Okay. Be back in a while. 06:31.000 --> 06:35.000 May I sit down for a moment, Mr. Akes? 06:35.000 --> 06:39.000 For a moment I thought I dozed off and had myself a vision. 06:39.000 --> 06:44.000 She was standing over me and her eyes were like violets, but there was fire behind them, 06:44.000 --> 06:47.000 just like that smoldering something in her voice. 06:47.000 --> 06:52.000 Then she slipped into Mark's seat, and her hand, very soft, very alive, 06:52.000 --> 06:55.000 very feminine, settled over mine. 06:55.000 --> 06:59.000 You don't remember me, do you, Mr. Akes? 06:59.000 --> 07:03.000 If I should and I don't, I ought to be shot. 07:03.000 --> 07:08.000 I'm Sybil Anderson. The insurance company hired you to keep an eye on the family jewelry 07:08.000 --> 07:12.000 at my coming-out party in 1946. 07:12.000 --> 07:15.000 But you can't be that scrawny little society girl. 07:15.000 --> 07:18.000 I've grown up a little. It happens. 07:18.000 --> 07:20.000 Hmm. It should happen to every girl. 07:20.000 --> 07:23.000 Didn't I read something about you getting yourself engaged last year? 07:23.000 --> 07:25.000 Mm-hmm. But it didn't take. 07:25.000 --> 07:33.000 My father unfortunately went broke, and I found it hard to keep up with Sonny Krueger and his pal. 07:33.000 --> 07:35.000 You were going to marry Krueger? 07:35.000 --> 07:38.000 Yes, but not anymore. 07:38.000 --> 07:40.000 Where are you bound for, Sybil? 07:40.000 --> 07:43.000 Same destination as yours, Race. Salt Lake City. 07:43.000 --> 07:44.000 Vacation? 07:44.000 --> 07:50.000 No. I've been living there for a while. You know, Race, I've become a career girl. 07:50.000 --> 07:54.000 I found that a smart girl can make a lot of money on her own. 07:54.000 --> 07:56.000 Why are you going? 07:56.000 --> 08:01.000 To study the habits of smart people who make a lot of money on their own. 08:01.000 --> 08:12.000 If Sybil Anderson was throwing out a trail deliberately, she couldn't be as bright as she looked. 08:12.000 --> 08:15.000 Mark and I took turns following her for a couple of days, 08:15.000 --> 08:20.000 but her activity seemed as innocent as those of a campfire girl on the night before a rally. 08:20.000 --> 08:26.000 We gave it up finally and headed for the great Salt Lake to have a swim, or rather, a float. 08:26.000 --> 08:30.000 You know, they tell me the water here is so thick a guy bobs around like a cock. 08:30.000 --> 08:33.000 What's the fun of swimming if you can't drown? 08:33.000 --> 08:36.000 You're a weird one at times. Hurry up and crawl into that suit. 08:36.000 --> 08:39.000 Okay, okay. 08:39.000 --> 08:42.000 You know, the walls are short thin in these bath houses. 08:42.000 --> 08:45.000 Well, people with secrets shouldn't live in bath houses. That's all. Snap it up. 08:45.000 --> 08:46.000 Give me a chance. 08:46.000 --> 08:50.000 I'm telling you, Perky, it's too dangerous. We're hot. How long do you think you can stay like this? 08:50.000 --> 08:51.000 Quiet, Mark. 08:51.000 --> 08:52.000 Don't scream at me, Gorman. 08:52.000 --> 08:55.000 All right, all right. Let's get dressed and get out of here. 08:55.000 --> 08:56.000 What is it, Race? 08:56.000 --> 08:57.000 You hear that voice? 08:57.000 --> 08:58.000 Which one? 08:58.000 --> 09:01.000 Gorman, the man who helped himself to $50,000 in the alley behind Joe Bell's saloon. 09:01.000 --> 09:03.000 Back into your clothes quickly. We've got to tail him. 09:03.000 --> 09:09.000 I'm beginning to feel like Gypsy Rose Lee playing a double matinee. 09:15.000 --> 09:20.000 Let us speed it up a little, Mark. Gorman seems to be developing a lead foot on that accelerator. 09:20.000 --> 09:24.000 He asked me. He knows we're after him. 09:24.000 --> 09:28.000 We should have taken out a license number to car just in case. 09:28.000 --> 09:31.000 Don't worry. I've got the number. 09:31.000 --> 09:33.000 This ought to be the last curve. 09:33.000 --> 09:35.000 Down a straightaway. 09:35.000 --> 09:38.000 Hey, uh, I tell you, nice stretch all the way up the side. 09:38.000 --> 09:40.000 Yes, but no car stopped. 09:42.000 --> 09:45.000 Holy cow. Where could they have gone? 09:45.000 --> 09:49.000 Must have driven into some side road we missed or into a patch of saplings. 09:49.000 --> 09:50.000 Well, I'll turn this bus around. 09:50.000 --> 09:53.000 No. No, we'll leave it here and take to the woods on foot. 09:53.000 --> 09:57.000 They can work back under cover. Maybe their hideout is near here. 09:57.000 --> 10:03.000 You know, this is going to give them a great chance to take pot shots at us and swear they thought it was a couple of Moses. 10:03.000 --> 10:06.000 They'd make an even better target if we were creeping along in the car. 10:06.000 --> 10:10.000 Stay about five yards deep from the road and I'll head in a little deeper. 10:10.000 --> 10:11.000 Make as little noise as possible. 10:11.000 --> 10:13.000 Yeah, don't worry. I hate having bullet holes in me. 10:13.000 --> 10:15.000 Stop talking. 10:16.000 --> 10:19.000 This little ravine just in front of me. Run after it. Next shot. 10:19.000 --> 10:21.000 All right. All right. 10:21.000 --> 10:23.000 That last one was close. 10:23.000 --> 10:26.000 We're all right for now. They can't spot us in here. 10:26.000 --> 10:28.000 We'll be able to hear any approach they make. 10:28.000 --> 10:30.000 Yeah, but how are we going to get out? 10:30.000 --> 10:34.000 Why not? They got us pinned down. We'll stay here until it gets dark. 10:47.000 --> 10:50.000 Hey, Reyes, when are we going to move? My foot's asleep. 10:50.000 --> 10:52.000 That udol moon is a little too bright. 10:52.000 --> 10:55.000 There's a cloud formation though. If it blots things out for a while, we'll go. 10:55.000 --> 10:58.000 They probably left hours ago. 10:58.000 --> 11:03.000 I would like to bet you that they are right now chewing on T-bone steaks while we are hiding from the boogie men. 11:03.000 --> 11:05.000 That's a bet you'd lose. Take a look up that hill. 11:05.000 --> 11:07.000 Hey, a couple of flashlights. 11:07.000 --> 11:09.000 They're coming down and there's somebody in front of them. 11:09.000 --> 11:14.000 Two people. Guy in the dam. They're shining their lights right on them. 11:14.000 --> 11:15.000 What? 11:15.000 --> 11:16.000 What's that? 11:16.000 --> 11:20.000 The girl. It's Sybil Anderson and the man is Sonny Krueger. 11:20.000 --> 11:21.000 At least he's still alive. 11:21.000 --> 11:25.000 Yes, but for how long? They're getting ready for some kind of play. 11:26.000 --> 11:27.000 Reyes! 11:28.000 --> 11:31.000 Present teacher, don't come any closer. 11:31.000 --> 11:34.000 We're going to give you a chance to get out of here alive. 11:34.000 --> 11:36.000 Stop playing games with them, Garmin. 11:36.000 --> 11:40.000 Listen, Reyes, if you want Krueger and his team to stay alive, get lost. 11:40.000 --> 11:42.000 Until we unload all that money. 11:42.000 --> 11:43.000 Reyes! 11:43.000 --> 11:44.000 Yes, Sybil? 11:44.000 --> 11:46.000 I don't think they'll harm us if you go. 11:46.000 --> 11:49.000 But they'll kill us if you don't. You have no right to risk our lives, Reyes. 11:49.000 --> 11:51.000 Go away! Go away! 11:51.000 --> 11:53.000 All right, Krueger, don't get hysterical. We'll go. 11:53.000 --> 11:56.000 Your car is only 30 feet behind you on the road. 11:56.000 --> 11:58.000 I moved it down from where you left it. 11:58.000 --> 12:00.000 All right, run forward, Mark. 12:02.000 --> 12:03.000 There's a road straight ahead. 12:03.000 --> 12:04.000 Yeah, and there's the car. 12:04.000 --> 12:06.000 Start her up and go down the road away. 12:06.000 --> 12:08.000 Then we can turn around and come back. 12:11.000 --> 12:13.000 Stop on the far side of this curve. 12:13.000 --> 12:14.000 Okay. 12:15.000 --> 12:17.000 Brother, this hill's a lot steeper going down than it was coming up. 12:17.000 --> 12:18.000 All right, slow down. 12:18.000 --> 12:19.000 Right. 12:19.000 --> 12:20.000 I said slow down. 12:20.000 --> 12:21.000 Holy cow. 12:21.000 --> 12:22.000 What is it, Mark? 12:22.000 --> 12:23.000 This shit won't stop, Reyes. 12:23.000 --> 12:25.000 They must have sawed the brake rods. 12:27.000 --> 12:28.000 Almost tipped over, then, Mark. 12:28.000 --> 12:29.000 Yeah, you're telling me. 12:29.000 --> 12:31.000 We're gonna make this next curve, Reyes. 12:31.000 --> 12:32.000 All right, Mark, we'll have to jump for it. 12:33.000 --> 12:34.000 Go ahead. Happy landing. 12:34.000 --> 12:35.000 Happy landing. 12:35.000 --> 13:04.000 We'll return to the adventures of Frank Race in just about one minute. 13:04.000 --> 13:07.000 And now back to the adventures of Frank Race. 13:14.000 --> 13:20.000 Jumping from a car moving at 90 miles per hour over a winding mountain road is not the sort of sport I'd recommend. 13:20.000 --> 13:23.000 At least, not this side of paradise. 13:23.000 --> 13:29.000 And speaking of paradise, I wasn't sure which side of it I was on when I started to come to. 13:29.000 --> 13:31.000 The lady was dressed in white. 13:31.000 --> 13:33.000 Feeling better, Mr. Race? 13:33.000 --> 13:36.000 Oh, am I where I think I am? 13:36.000 --> 13:38.000 You're in the emergency ward of the Mormon Hospital. 13:38.000 --> 13:40.000 Mark Donovan, is he all right? 13:40.000 --> 13:43.000 Yes. Yes, as a matter of fact, he's waiting outside. 13:43.000 --> 13:44.000 How long have I been out? 13:44.000 --> 13:46.000 Four days. 13:46.000 --> 13:48.000 But you're all right now, and you can have visitors if you want. 13:48.000 --> 13:51.000 I'll take them. And a good, strong cup of coffee for a chaser. 13:51.000 --> 13:54.000 You don't need any stimulant now, but I'll bring you some water. 13:54.000 --> 13:56.000 And I'll send Mr. Donovan in. 13:58.000 --> 13:59.000 You can go in now. 13:59.000 --> 14:03.000 Oh, thanks. 14:03.000 --> 14:06.000 Race, why don't you stop trying to prove that your head's as hot as mine? 14:06.000 --> 14:09.000 I'll bet there's a hole in the road where you hid it, Marcus. 14:09.000 --> 14:12.000 Well, I've been busy while you've been gold-breaking here. 14:12.000 --> 14:16.000 Sybil Anderson is back in circulation, and Sonny Krueger's on the loose too. 14:16.000 --> 14:18.000 Which means I've been out too long. 14:18.000 --> 14:21.000 Gorman and Berkey must have pushed the last of the hot money. 14:21.000 --> 14:25.000 I went back up into the hills to see if I could find a hideout, but there wasn't anything. 14:25.000 --> 14:26.000 You know something? 14:26.000 --> 14:29.000 It was pretty lucky to be picked up after that crash. 14:29.000 --> 14:30.000 Who found us? 14:30.000 --> 14:32.000 A couple of guys from the forest patrol. 14:32.000 --> 14:35.000 There's a thing up there called a ski lift. 14:35.000 --> 14:38.000 It's a bunch of chairs hanging from some kind of telephone poles or something. 14:38.000 --> 14:41.000 There's no snow. Why would they be up there? 14:41.000 --> 14:43.000 Some kids must have got it started and somebody reported it, 14:43.000 --> 14:46.000 so these guys were going up the stop and they found us. 14:46.000 --> 14:47.000 Here's some water, Mr. Race. 14:47.000 --> 14:48.000 Thanks. 14:48.000 --> 14:50.000 Would you like a glass, Mr. Donovan? 14:50.000 --> 14:53.000 You're sure it wouldn't be too strong for me? 14:53.000 --> 14:55.000 You'll have to get used to our ways, Mr. Donovan. 14:55.000 --> 14:57.000 Maybe there's something to them at that. 14:57.000 --> 15:00.000 I never saw such healthy people in all my life. 15:00.000 --> 15:04.000 You know, Race, even when I feel good, I look at them and they make me think I must be sick. 15:04.000 --> 15:07.000 Mr. Race, the doctor says you'll be able to leave in the morning. 15:07.000 --> 15:09.000 Fine. I'll be ready. 15:09.000 --> 15:13.000 No, there's a big dance here Saturday night. 15:13.000 --> 15:16.000 There's one every Saturday night, Mr. Donovan. 15:16.000 --> 15:18.000 Goodbye. 15:18.000 --> 15:21.000 If you're really stuck for a date, I'm not doing anything. 15:21.000 --> 15:29.000 Shut up. 15:29.000 --> 15:32.000 No matter what the town, there's always some place on the outskirts 15:32.000 --> 15:35.000 that the local citizens would rather forget. 15:35.000 --> 15:37.000 Salt Lake City was no exception. 15:37.000 --> 15:40.000 When I left the hospital, Mark and I drove to the place, 15:40.000 --> 15:47.000 a bottle-carrying dive on Route 91 known as the Sinner's Lair. 15:47.000 --> 15:50.000 Holy cow, what did you want to come to this joint for, Race? 15:50.000 --> 15:53.000 Gorman and Berkey are hardly the type to give up their nightlife, 15:53.000 --> 15:56.000 and they'd find Mormon amusements too conservative. 15:56.000 --> 15:58.000 Well, how do you know they haven't blown town? 15:58.000 --> 15:59.000 They've set Kroger free. 15:59.000 --> 16:01.000 I don't think the money's all gone. 16:01.000 --> 16:02.000 Not enough's been picked up. 16:02.000 --> 16:04.000 I checked with Benton. 16:04.000 --> 16:06.000 Only 21,000 has turned up. 16:06.000 --> 16:08.000 You know something? 16:08.000 --> 16:10.000 We still haven't gotten a good look at Gorman's face. 16:10.000 --> 16:11.000 How are we going to know? 16:11.000 --> 16:13.000 It's a case of ears instead of eyes. 16:13.000 --> 16:15.000 Keep yours open and tab that voice if you can. 16:15.000 --> 16:17.000 Lift around a little. 16:17.000 --> 16:20.000 What, uh, suppose he spots us first? 16:20.000 --> 16:22.000 He's never seen us too clearly either. 16:22.000 --> 16:24.000 They've got as much of an edge as he has. 16:24.000 --> 16:25.000 Okay. 16:25.000 --> 16:28.000 If I see him, I'll give you the nod. 16:28.000 --> 16:32.000 Ears dropping has never been one of my favorite pastimes, 16:32.000 --> 16:35.000 and the patrons of the Sinner's Lair didn't favor it either. 16:35.000 --> 16:37.000 They were faces I'd seen before, 16:37.000 --> 16:41.000 migratory faces that turn up here and there around the country, 16:41.000 --> 16:45.000 small-time crooks running away from the laws of one state or another, 16:45.000 --> 16:47.000 moving from town to town, 16:47.000 --> 16:51.000 never staying too long in any one spot. 16:51.000 --> 16:54.000 But at the back of the place, near a booth, 16:54.000 --> 16:57.000 I caught the tones of a voice I knew. 16:57.000 --> 16:59.000 It wasn't Gorman. 16:59.000 --> 17:01.000 It was Sybil Anderson. 17:01.000 --> 17:03.000 Are you safe now, Sonny? Are you sure? 17:03.000 --> 17:06.000 Yes, I'm out of it. They won't bother me anymore. 17:06.000 --> 17:08.000 Hello. Hello, Race. 17:08.000 --> 17:11.000 Oh, Race. Race, you're all right. 17:11.000 --> 17:13.000 I'm looking for Gorman and Berkey. 17:13.000 --> 17:15.000 You know where they might be, Kruger? 17:15.000 --> 17:18.000 Probably thousands of miles from here by now. 17:18.000 --> 17:20.000 Might as well pack up and go home. 17:20.000 --> 17:22.000 Thanks for the advice. I think I'll stick. 17:22.000 --> 17:25.000 Mark and I meant to come back after you the other night, 17:25.000 --> 17:27.000 but we had an accident. 17:27.000 --> 17:29.000 I was frightened for you, Race. 17:29.000 --> 17:31.000 Tell me something, Sybil. 17:31.000 --> 17:33.000 How'd they happen to pick you up? 17:33.000 --> 17:36.000 Oh, that was my fault, Race. I thought I could get away from them. 17:36.000 --> 17:39.000 I slipped a note out to Sybil and asked her to meet me with a car. 17:39.000 --> 17:41.000 The man I bribed double-crossed me. 17:41.000 --> 17:43.000 I put the note and I picked her up. 17:43.000 --> 17:46.000 I don't think it's smart for you to be hanging out in a place like this, Sonny. 17:46.000 --> 17:49.000 He's right, Sonny. You ought to go back to town. 17:49.000 --> 17:52.000 I'll stay with Race, and he can drive me in. 17:52.000 --> 17:54.000 Why do you want to stay with him? 17:54.000 --> 17:57.000 The time has passed when I have to explain things to you, Sonny. 17:57.000 --> 17:59.000 Remember? 17:59.000 --> 18:03.000 All right. That's the way you want it. Call you tomorrow. 18:03.000 --> 18:05.000 Goodbye, Race. Goodbye. 18:05.000 --> 18:10.000 Well, we're alone, Race, but in the middle of a crowd as usual. 18:10.000 --> 18:13.000 We could go outside. There's a moon. 18:13.000 --> 18:15.000 Flex. 18:22.000 --> 18:25.000 We didn't speak, but when we got outside, 18:25.000 --> 18:29.000 I held my arms open for her and she came to me. 18:29.000 --> 18:32.000 She was smaller and softer than she looked, 18:32.000 --> 18:35.000 but the fire in her eyes and her voice were even more evident 18:35.000 --> 18:39.000 with her eyes closed and her lips smothered. 18:39.000 --> 18:42.000 I wanted to do that when I was 18, Race, 18:42.000 --> 18:44.000 the night of my coming-out party. 18:44.000 --> 18:47.000 I'm glad we waited. You learned a lot. 18:47.000 --> 18:50.000 Yes, I have. 18:50.000 --> 18:53.000 Including how to make money. 18:53.000 --> 18:55.000 Want to tell me about it? 18:55.000 --> 18:57.000 What do you mean? 18:57.000 --> 18:59.000 What was behind the kidnapping of Kruger? 18:59.000 --> 19:01.000 Why, I don't know. Race, you don't think that... 19:01.000 --> 19:04.000 You've made a lot of statements you haven't explained. 19:04.000 --> 19:08.000 I've been doing a series of articles on Mormon culture. 19:08.000 --> 19:11.000 I've been working, Race. That's what I meant. 19:11.000 --> 19:13.000 What was that? 19:13.000 --> 19:14.000 A shot from the club. Come on. 19:14.000 --> 19:16.000 Race, where are you? Here. 19:16.000 --> 19:18.000 Gorman and Boykin spotted him. 19:18.000 --> 19:19.000 They took a shot at me and scrambled a car. 19:19.000 --> 19:21.000 You know what they look like now? I'll never forget. 19:21.000 --> 19:22.000 Hit the highway. Maybe we can catch them. 19:22.000 --> 19:31.000 Race, be careful. 19:31.000 --> 19:33.000 There's a car up ahead. It must be theirs. 19:33.000 --> 19:35.000 At least they didn't have time to work over the brakes on this heap. 19:35.000 --> 19:36.000 They're slowing down. 19:36.000 --> 19:38.000 Yeah, well, let's not figure out I'm giving up too easy. 19:38.000 --> 19:39.000 They made business. 19:39.000 --> 19:41.000 Well, we're armed too this time. 19:41.000 --> 19:43.000 Come on up to him. 19:43.000 --> 19:45.000 Keep low over the weak boy. 19:45.000 --> 19:46.000 You hit something. He's going off the road. 19:46.000 --> 19:49.000 Careful, Mark. 19:49.000 --> 19:53.000 He's got our tires. Hold on. 19:53.000 --> 19:55.000 Oh, brother, I was afraid I was going to have to jump again. 19:55.000 --> 19:56.000 Well, we've lost him. 19:56.000 --> 19:57.000 But we've got a busy night ahead of us. 19:57.000 --> 19:58.000 Turn around and go back to the sinner's lair. 19:58.000 --> 19:59.000 What for? 19:59.000 --> 20:00.000 One of them is wounded. 20:00.000 --> 20:03.000 If you need treatment, they won't dare go to a hospital or a doctor. 20:03.000 --> 20:19.000 Maybe we can pick up the name of somebody who specializes in the treatment of illegal wounds. 20:19.000 --> 20:21.000 Yes? What do you want? 20:21.000 --> 20:24.000 A friend of mine was brought in here suffering from a gunshot wound. 20:24.000 --> 20:26.000 I want to see him. 20:26.000 --> 20:28.000 I don't know what you're talking about. 20:28.000 --> 20:31.000 Look, he's hot. I've got to get him out of town. Stop stalling. 20:31.000 --> 20:34.000 Hey, come in. 20:34.000 --> 20:38.000 He's in here. Get him out of here fast if he's hot. 20:38.000 --> 20:40.000 What happened to the fellow who brought him here? 20:40.000 --> 20:43.000 He couldn't wait. 20:43.000 --> 20:47.000 Hello, Gorman. Or is it Berkey? 20:47.000 --> 20:51.000 You're right the first time, Rice. It's Gorman. 20:51.000 --> 20:53.000 This is the end of the road, boy. 20:53.000 --> 20:57.000 Yeah, I know it. Who you want? 20:57.000 --> 20:59.000 Who's the head man? 20:59.000 --> 21:01.000 What's in it for me if I spill? 21:01.000 --> 21:03.000 I can't promise you anything, you know that. 21:03.000 --> 21:07.000 But it might go easier if I could say you were cooperative. 21:07.000 --> 21:10.000 All right, all right. I'll gamble. 21:10.000 --> 21:12.000 The whole snatch was engineered by... 21:24.000 --> 21:28.000 Rice, will you please tell me what we're checking all these mortals for? 21:28.000 --> 21:31.000 Sonny Krueger's car. He must be staying at one of them. 21:31.000 --> 21:33.000 Isn't registered in any of the hotels. 21:33.000 --> 21:37.000 Oh, hey. Look, beside that cabin, a yellow convertible. 21:37.000 --> 21:40.000 Monogram. That's it. W.K. Walter Krueger. Come on. 21:40.000 --> 21:42.000 What do you want with him? 21:42.000 --> 21:44.000 Just want to ask him a question. 21:50.000 --> 21:55.000 Yes? Oh, it's you, Rice. Come in. 21:55.000 --> 21:57.000 I want to ask you something, Sonny. 21:57.000 --> 21:59.000 Where were you at 1 a.m.? 21:59.000 --> 22:01.000 Why? 22:01.000 --> 22:06.000 Because somebody shot one of your captors, Gorman, while I was talking to him. 22:06.000 --> 22:09.000 Well, I was with an old friend of my father's, Joseph Saunders. 22:09.000 --> 22:13.000 Will he swear to that? And is his word any good? 22:13.000 --> 22:15.000 He's a Mormon and very highly respected. 22:15.000 --> 22:17.000 How did you spend the evening? 22:17.000 --> 22:19.000 Playing chess at his house. 22:19.000 --> 22:23.000 Matter of fact, we stopped at exactly 1 a.m. and he made some coffee. 22:23.000 --> 22:25.000 And we talked for a while. 22:25.000 --> 22:27.000 Did you know what I called him and check on it? 22:27.000 --> 22:29.000 I don't think it would do any good. 22:29.000 --> 22:32.000 He just died a few minutes ago. Heart attack. 22:32.000 --> 22:35.000 I heard the report while I was listening to the radio. 22:43.000 --> 22:46.000 Grace, why are you asking me all these questions? 22:46.000 --> 22:48.000 Because you know more than you've been telling me. 22:48.000 --> 22:50.000 Was Sonny in some kind of trouble? 22:50.000 --> 22:52.000 How would I know? 22:52.000 --> 22:53.000 You do know. 22:53.000 --> 22:56.000 Sonny doesn't inherit his full fortune until he's 35. 22:56.000 --> 22:59.000 And his allowance from his father's will wasn't enough for him. 22:59.000 --> 23:03.000 If you got married, your father was going to advance him some money, wasn't he? 23:03.000 --> 23:05.000 Then your father went broke and the engagement was called off. 23:05.000 --> 23:07.000 You got a crystal ball race? 23:07.000 --> 23:09.000 I checked on Gorman and Berkey. 23:09.000 --> 23:12.000 Their regular racket is a floating dice game. 23:12.000 --> 23:14.000 What does that prove? 23:14.000 --> 23:17.000 I think that Sonny owed them money he couldn't pay and they were pressuring him. 23:17.000 --> 23:22.000 And I think he whipped up this deal himself to pay them off and get himself some cash on the side. 23:22.000 --> 23:26.000 Gorman and Berkey unloaded their money, but Sonny has the rest. 23:26.000 --> 23:27.000 Find it. 23:27.000 --> 23:29.000 I will. Sooner or later. 23:31.000 --> 23:34.000 Grace, Sonny is gone. I went back to check on him. He's gone. 23:34.000 --> 23:36.000 We're going too. I got the pieces now. We're going to pick Sonny up. 23:36.000 --> 23:38.000 You mean you know where he is? 23:38.000 --> 23:39.000 He's gone after the rest of the cash. 23:39.000 --> 23:42.000 And all you have to do, Grace, is find out where it is. 23:42.000 --> 23:45.000 I know where it is. It's in the hill, someplace near the ski lift. 23:45.000 --> 23:46.000 The ski lift? 23:46.000 --> 23:48.000 That's right, Mark. The ski lift that was running without any snow. 23:48.000 --> 23:52.000 Come on, baby. This is the payoff. 23:59.000 --> 24:01.000 All right, Mark. There's the cabin. He must be in there. 24:01.000 --> 24:04.000 If we go into that clearing, he's going to start blasting. 24:04.000 --> 24:06.000 We don't have to go in. 24:06.000 --> 24:08.000 Sonny! Come on out! 24:08.000 --> 24:10.000 Come and get me, Grace. 24:10.000 --> 24:15.000 I can do it from here. It's autumn, boy. If I fire this brush, you're finished. 24:15.000 --> 24:18.000 Got a point, Grace? 24:18.000 --> 24:20.000 Put your hands up and come on. 24:27.000 --> 24:29.000 Got me, Grace? 24:29.000 --> 24:31.000 Looks that way. 24:31.000 --> 24:34.000 Haven't you forgotten Berkey? He's right behind you with a gun. 24:34.000 --> 24:36.000 Reach for it, Grace. 24:38.000 --> 24:40.000 Nice going, Mark. 24:40.000 --> 24:42.000 It's nothing, really. 24:42.000 --> 24:47.000 Well, that's my last trump, Grace. Looks like you win. 24:47.000 --> 24:50.000 I should get out of prison just in time to collect my inheritance. 24:50.000 --> 24:54.000 You're not getting out, Sonny. You murdered Gorman. 24:54.000 --> 24:57.000 What race? I told you about my alibi. 24:57.000 --> 25:01.000 I think it will hold up. Maybe Berkey shot Gorman. 25:01.000 --> 25:03.000 No, Sonny. You did it. 25:03.000 --> 25:07.000 You shouldn't have used a dead Mormon for your story. There was a hole in it. 25:07.000 --> 25:09.000 How do you mean? 25:09.000 --> 25:13.000 You said you stopped your chess game at 1 a.m. and your Mormon host made some coffee. 25:13.000 --> 25:18.000 Good Mormons don't drink coffee, Sonny. It's banned. It's considered a stimulant. 25:18.000 --> 25:20.000 You should have learned a little bit about the customs of the country. 25:20.000 --> 25:21.000 But I tell you... 25:21.000 --> 25:25.000 Don't tell me. Tell a Mormon jury, Sonny. 25:25.000 --> 25:29.000 I think that imaginary cup of coffee may be expensive. 25:29.000 --> 25:39.000 It's going to cost you your life. 25:51.000 --> 25:57.000 The Adventures of Frank Ray starring Paul Dubov with Tony Barrett as Mark Donovan comes to you from Hollywood. 25:57.000 --> 26:04.000 Others heard in tonight's cast were Wilms Herbert, Inge Jolis, Bert Holland, William Johnstone, and Michael Ann Barrett. 26:04.000 --> 26:08.000 This series is written and directed by Buckley Angel and Joel Murcott. 26:08.000 --> 26:11.000 The music is composed and played by Ivan Dittmar. 26:11.000 --> 26:18.000 Be sure to be with us again this time next week for another dramatic chapter in The Adventures of Frank Ray. 26:18.000 --> 26:28.000 Michael Roy speaking. This is a Bruce Ells production. 26:48.000 --> 26:56.000 Thank you for watching.
