Hunter (1984–1991): Season 6, Episode 19 - Sudden Withdrawal - full transcript
Hunter and McCall search for a beautiful woman whose numerous liaisons are linked to a series of bank robberies.
Tonight on "Hunter."
Everybody freeze!
This is a holdup.
Do what we say,
nobody gets hurt.
Looks like they knew
what they were looking for.
They sure did.
Bearer bonds are
almost as good as cash.
$1,400,000.
Not bad for a
couple minutes work.
Nothing interesting
ever happens to bankers.
I think this banker's
very fascinating.
Could I buy you
a drink, mister, uh
Hunter.
Rick Hunter.
And what is your line of work?
Banking.
Where you been?
Oh, just, uh, running errands.
Looks like you've been shopping.
What you shopping for?
Gee, that looks like fishing.
Very good.
I didn't know you
were into fishing.
Oh, yeah.
Been fishing a long time.
Yeah?
What do you like?
Freshwater or deep sea?
Oh, deep sea?
Hm.
This is freshwater stuff.
I meant fresh water.
I was just just you know.
So want to tell me
what's going on?
There's nothing going on.
I just have a couple of days
off and I'm going to go fish.
Look.
The closest you've
ever been to fishing
is when you had a tuna fish
sandwich last week for lunch.
So what's his name?
What do you mean,
what's his name?
You think that I can't
go fishing by myself?
Well, you've got to have
someone hold your bait.
I was a girl scout.
I know how to camp.
Lieutenant, right?
No.
Give me my stop it!
Give me my pole.
Now, look.
This is me you're talking to.
Compadre, companion,
your friend, your amigo.
What's going on?
There's absolutely
nothing going on.
I'm just going to take the
three days, which by the way
are due me, and I'm
going to go fishing.
Now if you'll excuse
me, I have work to do.
I'm running late, honey
What about tomorrow?
I have a 12 o'clock
lunch meeting tomorrow.
It would have to
be the day after.
Well, there's always
tomorrow night.
Ah.
You know the rules.
It's too risky.
Zip me up.
You're frisky today!
Mmm.
I can't get enough of you.
I don't want to go back to work.
Neither do I. But we both
have these little things
called jobs.
I can think of much
better things to do.
You sure about
tomorrow night, huh?
We'll have to wait.
I got to go.
So you're a couple minutes late.
So what?
Looks like a snap.
Yeah, I hope so.
Hey, don't worry.
You know what to do.
Hear anything we
should know about,
three blasts from the horn.
Right.
Let's do it!
Good afternoon, Nancy.
Sorry I'm late.
Mr. Dellwin.
Mr. Dellwin, I need a
manager's approval on this check.
Let me see.
Looks all right to me.
You go ahead and put it through.
Everybody, freeze!
This is a holdup!
Give it to me.
Do what we say,
nobody gets hurt.
Touch that alarm
button, you're dead!
Stay calm.
Move away from the counter!
Everybody!
Now!
You come with me.
It's all right.
All you tellers, put your
hands up where I can see them.
Everybody else,
down on your bellies.
Now!
That's right.
Come on.
Open it.
Hey, not that key, man.
This key sets off
the alarm, man.
I'm not stupid.
Use the right one.
Now let's get the bearer bonds.
Open it!
Everybody keep your hands
up where I can see them.
Everything will be just fine.
Move, move, move!
End of the line.
Hold it!
Stay calm and stay put!
Hey, gonna hit that halfday.
Yes, exactly.
You were going to leave without
saying goodbye, weren't you?
I was just in a hurry.
I was running late, so
Hm.
Goodbye.
Bye.
Now we got a bank
robbery on Pacific Avenue.
I want the two of you
down there right away.
What is that?
Oh, you see, she's
after the big one.
With who?
Looks like they knew
they were looking for.
They sure did.
Bearer bonds are
almost as good as cash.
You know, maybe
one of your employees
tipped them off
to the key alarm.
I don't think of my
employees would
be involved in
anything like this.
Besides, a lot of banks
have similar alarm setups.
It could have anyone who worked
for a bank some time or other.
I see.
Look, maybe one of the
armored transport company people
or somebody from the main
office tipped the robbers off.
Eh, it's a possibility.
I still need to get a
list of all the people
who knew the bonds
were going to be here.
All right.
Got a final tally on
the bonds stolen.
$1,400,000.
Not bad for a
couple minutes work.
Oh, Mr. Dylan, this
is Dave Michaels, FBI.
How do you do?
And Mr. Dylan, your guard
should have engaged the suspect
the minute he
walked into the bank.
What happened?
I was late returning
from lunch and I
guess he stepped into
that office for a few minutes.
I don't know why.
Well, if you're done
with LAPD, the FBI
will want a separate
interview with you.
Certainly.
Thanks, Mr. Dellwin.
We'll be in touch.
Thanks.
We'll keep you informed
on what we find out.
You're not the kind of cops who
resent the fact that the Bureau
has jurisdiction in
cases like this, are you?
No, not at all.
I assume the FBI will
take care of the 211
and LAPD will handle the 187.
Right.
Just remember, you
take your lead from us.
No problem.
I guess you told
him, didn't you?
What if I that to you?
Ow!
It's a good thing you
were right about these.
If we'd walked out of there
empty handed after killing
that guard, someone
else might have gotten hurt.
Hey, I'll just saying
what's on my mind.
All three of us have a murder
rap on our hands right now.
It's nothing to worry about.
The police don't
have a thing to go on.
It's easy for you to say.
We're the ones
carrying the weight!
One slip and we're
up for the gas chamber.
If I'd known there
was a guard, I
would never have
sent you in there.
I put a lot of my own
time and money into this.
And if you succeed,
then I succeed.
Yeah, and if we get blown
away inside the bank,
you walk away untouched.
You knew what the odds were
when I brought you into this.
Killing people cost extra!
No way do you deserve 50%.
I put this whole thing together.
If it wasn't for me,
you'd be getting
50% of nothing
instead of 50% of this.
The last job's off unless
we even out the money.
1/3 for you, 2/3 for us.
We're with him.
It's totally up to you.
All right.
We do the last job.
Split everything.
1/3 is mine, 2/3 is yours.
Fair enough?
Anything you say, Ms. Fallon.
Hunter!
We just got the getaway
car from the bank job.
Lab boys went
over it tooth and nail.
Couldn't find a thing.
Oh, that figures, doesn't it?
Now the FBI is trying
to cross reference
that one shotgun shell we found.
But Michaels hasn't
called me back yet.
Uhhuh.
Captain.
This is Ken Dellwin.
He gave us a list
of employee names
for Security Independence.
Bank.
We can check them out.
Ms. Dylan. Good to
see you Mr. Dellwin.
Sir.
So now tell me.
How often do you
have these bearer
bonds stored in your vaults?
Maybe once or twice a year.
Well, you see, that's just too
big of a coincidence for me.
The bank robbers hit the
back exactly the same day
that the bearer bonds get there.
I just can't believe that one
of the employees at my branch
would be in on the job.
Well, Mr. Dellwin, it's possible
that it wasn't intentional.
Maybe one of your employees
told a friend and that individual
told somebody else.
We we discourage our employees
from discussing bank business.
But Mr. Dellwin, isn't it
possible somebody in your bank
told a close friend
or relative something?
Uh, anything's
possible, Sergeant.
Are you sure you didn't tell
anyone about those bonds coming
through the bank?
None of my friends care
anything about banking.
Why would I have said anything?
I'm just thinking
you might have said
something in a
passing conversation.
Well, I think I'd remember
if I'd said anything.
Ken, why are you
acting so crazy?
Well, it's just that when
that cop was talking to me,
I realized how much I
told you about the bank.
Ken, I didn't rob your bank.
You sure you didn't say
anything to anyone else?
I'm sure I didn't!
Darling, don't you trust me?
Sure.
I'm just a little
rattled, that's all.
Seeing that man gunned
down yesterday really shook me.
I know, I know.
You can't imagine what
went through my mind
when I heard it on the radio.
I thought, oh my
god, he's been killed.
I wanted to call you.
I wanted
I wanted to call you too.
There was no getting
away from my wife last night.
I really needed you.
Sorry I couldn't have
been there for you.
This isn't right.
We should be together.
Oh, Ken.
You know, it's not just
your wife we're talking about.
It's your kids, too.
I can work something out.
We both know it's so impossible.
Let's just be happy
with what we have.
You're beautiful.
I really love you.
Ken, we don't have privacy here.
There's always your apartmen. t
I can't, darling.
I'm late for an appointment.
Tomorrow.
I love you.
Sorry I'm late.
It doesn't matter.
I've been dying to see you.
You look like you're
in a good mood.
Oh, I always am
when I'm seeing you.
So what about the preliminaries?
What preliminaries?
Well, aren't you going to tell
me about how your day was?
Nothing interesting
ever happens to bankers.
Oh, I don't think that's true.
Hm?
I think this banker
is very fascinating.
Hey.
I just finished doing
a background check
on Ken Dellwin's list of people.
According to this,
other than a couple
outstanding warrants for traffic
violation, everybody is clean.
Everyone?
Everyone.
Even the people at the
armored car company?
Yep.
Oh, that's great.
Tell you what,
Charlie's not going
to spring for four
or five officers
to help us check people out.
Tell me about it.
You have a visitor.
I was hoping you'd both be here.
Our lab came up with a
match for the shell casing found
at the Security
Independence robbery.
It compared to the casing
found at a robbery in the San
Fernando Valley four months
ago, the New Liberty bank.
Nobody was killed in that one.
They expended to
round into the ceiling
to get everybody's attention.
Now we're getting someplace.
Yeah.
They wore Halloween masks
and trench coats in that one.
But everything else
about the MO compares
exactly to Security
Independence.
How much did they get?
A million two,
most of it being held
in bearer bonds for the
San Francisco reserve.
And these guys knew
what they were looking for.
I guess it's a dead
end, Sergeant.
Not one of them worked here
at the time we were robbed.
You want me to go
through the files again?
No, no.
That's all right.
Excuse me.
Sure.
Yes?
Tell him I'll be interested in
buying when the price is right.
Well, what did you say?
Fine.
Tell him I'll call
him back later.
It's my white wine broker.
I collect vintage wines.
It's kind of a hobby.
You know, I was thinking.
We have photos
of all the employees
of Security Independence.
It's possible one of
them was using an alias
and that's why you
couldn't match the name.
Would you be willing to
come down to Parker Center
and take a look?
Sure.
I can't believe that
one of our employees
was involved in the robbery.
Well, still.
It's real odd that your
bank would be held up
on the same day that you
get a shipment of bonds
to your vault.
Only five of us knew
the bonds were there.
And the FBI went over each
one of us with a magnifying glass
and didn't come
up with anything.
It was only a coincidence.
Maybe not.
What are you doing?
Changed my mind.
I'm going into the office today.
But the bank gave
you the day off!
You should take it.
I can't. Don't
make dinner for me.
I'll be a little late tonight.
Ken!
We've got to talk.
I don't have time.
You never have time anymore.
I've had a lot on my mind late.
What, another woman?
I want the truth for change.
You have the truth.
Who is she?
What's her name?
Did you meet her at work?
You've got it all wrong.
Don't treat me like an idiot.
You think I don't know
what's happening between us?
You don't talk to me.
You don't touch me.
Tell me who she is.
We'll talk later.
Stop running away from me.
Not now.
We'll talk later.
We'll talk now.
You're like a
tourist in this house.
All you do is eat
and sleep here.
Your mind and your
emotions are somewhere else.
Well, I've been
busy lately, too.
My bank was robbed.
My guard was gunned down!
I want my husband back.
Tonight.
We'll talk tonight.
Ken!
I'm not living
like this anymore.
Ken!
What a surprise.
I'll bet it is.
What's the matter?
You want to tell me about
the guy I just saw you with?
The one you were
kissing outside?
Well, if you really want to
know, she's my exboyfriend
and he wanted to
get back together.
What are you going to do?
I told them that I
was in love with you
and so we just set
our final goodbyes.
I was just going to call you.
I really miss you.
Oh, you never
stop lying, do you?
That old boyfriend of yours?
We started out together
at the same bank.
His name is Al Redfern.
So?
So you either have
a thing for bankers,
or you were using me to set
up the robbery at my own bank.
And you're probably doing
the very same thing to him.
You're way off base.
You know that I was
coming over here
to tell you that I wanted to
divorce my wife and marry you?
You really suckered
me in all the way.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Knock it off!
I know what's going on here.
You were never in love with me.
I was being used.
You're all wrong.
I am all right!
I told you everything
about my bank.
The alarm system,
the bonds, everything!
How long was it going to
be before you dumped me?
Maybe the police would
like to know what you're up to.
Go ahead and go to the police.
You'll lose your house,
your wife, your job.
I'll tell him you helped
me plan the whole thing.
Face it, Ken.
You got what you wanted,
and I got what I wanted.
You're nothing but a whore.
A very well paid one.
Get out, Ken.
That's it, captain.
No exemployees
from Marsden's bank
were working at Security
Independence when it was hit.
So I guess that shoots
down your theory
about being an inside job.
Well, not exactly.
Wait a minute.
I see this coming.
You're going to try
to sell me on the idea
that somebody on the outside
had connections inside both
those banks and helped
to set up the robbery?
Yes.
So where does that leave us?
Well, what we'd like to do is
to interview all the relatives
and friends of the
employees at Security
Independence and
New Liberty Bank?
Do you have any idea
how much time and personal
that would cost?
Four people?
Yeah, got about four officers.
A couple weeks.
Over about two weeks.
What?
Absolutely not.
No way.
There is no way.
No.
Look, Charlie.
That's our only lead.
That's all we got left.
All right.
I'll tell you what I will do.
I cannot give you
any more personal.
But I'll give you a week to
interview as many people
as you can find.
If you don't buy anything
by then, I'm pulling the plug!
How was I to know he 'd
come by my place like he did?
Every time you slip up, you
put our necks on the time.
Now, this isn't a game
we were playing, lady.
This is for keeps.
If you want out, say so.
But until then, I'm
running this show.
All right.
If you're so smart,
what do we do next?
Well, the way I see it,
we have two options.
One, we split the take,
we forget about the last job,
and leave town now.
And we forget about the $2
million in Al Redfern's bank.
What's the second option?
Have you found the
person who did this?
No we haven't, Ms. Dellwin.
We think your husband
was deliberately run over.
What?
We think it may have something
to do with the bank robbery.
How?
Ms. Dellwin, your husband
may have given the bank robbers
that inadvertently
some information
that helped them rob the bank.
Oh, oh no.
Ken Ken would never have
been party to anything like that.
The man was killed!
We're not saying that
he was an accomplice.
He made a mistake.
It's not like him.
Mrs. Dellwin, had your husband
changed any of his business
activities over the
last few weeks?
Made any new
business acquaintances?
Made any new friends?
My husband has been
seeing another woman.
I I've suspected
for several weeks.
I call his office at
noon and they'd
say he was playing racquetball.
And then I call the
racquetball court
and they say he wasn't there.
And then at night, he just lied.
Ms. Dellwin, do you know
who this woman was?
No.
I was curious at
first, even thought
about hiring a private
detective to follow him.
But I didn't.
Look, Ms. Dellwin.
This woman could be very
helpful in our investigation.
Would it be possible if
Sergeant McCall and I came back
to talk to you
later on about it?
Yeah.
Thank you very much.
Would you like us to
take you to your car?
No, I'd like to
stay here please.
Certainly.
Thank you, Ms. Dellwin.
I'm very sorry.
You were terrific.
I was inspired.
You better hurry or
you're going to be late.
You have a very big
day today, remember?
Oh, I remember.
Something very
big and mysterious.
And you said that bankers
don't have an exciting life.
Oh, it's not going to change
the course of human history.
Just a little shipment.
Well, a big shipment, at
least for our little branch.
So what are you bringing in?
A million in gold?
Nothing so romantic.
But a lot more money.
I'm taking reception of two
and 1/2 million in bearer bonds
this afternoon.
We send them off to
Belgium in the morning.
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow.
It was not just a hit and run.
Dellwin was taken down
because he knew something Now,
you say there's nothing
suspicious in his background?
He never drank,
smoked, or kicked the dog.
That's right.
Well, he sounds like
he's criminally dull to me.
Uh, Captain.
This guy did have
one particular vice.
The day manager at his
club remembers Dellwin.
He said that last month, he
came in regularly at lunch time
to play a match
with a very attractive
lady whose name
was Linda Fallon.
She also was a recent member.
And over the last few weeks,
he hasn't seen either one of them.
Linda Fallon.
That must be the
girl that Dellwin's
having an affair with.
So Dellwin's not the
dullard we thought he was.
Look, somebody hit this guy.
It's too much of a coincidence.
We got to find
this Linda Fallon.
Run a check on her.
Yeah, right.
What was the manager's
name at Liberty Bank?
Marsden.
Marsden.
Linda Fallon.
I don't know
anyone by that name.
It's a rather
indelicate question,
but were you involved
with another woman
at about that time?
What are you getting at?
What she's getting
at, Mr. Marsden,
is if you're withholding
information from the police
investigation of a homicide,
you're obstructing justice.
Now, you were having an
affair with another woman.
Weren't you?
Yes.
Her name was Mary Rhoden
I met her at a wine tasting.
She was so beautiful.
She she just came at me.
And you were taken in.
Oh yeah.
You know, she she even bought
me a '26 Chateau Montreaux.
That's a bottle of wine?
A very rare and
expensive bottle of wine.
I thought she was
in love with me.
And then one day, she left.
Just like that.
You probably think
I'm a fool if not worse.
Look.
If at all possible,
don't tell my wife.
Yeah, this woman researches
her victims very carefully.
She makes sure that
they're married, which
makes them more discreet.
And then she goes
to work on them.
Right.
And in Dellwin's case, she
found that the guy's a health nut.
She joined his health club
and started playing racquetball.
With him.
You know, with Marsden,
it was the wine business.
He's sort of a wine snob.
Right.
You know, I think I'm
getting the picture now.
These managers,
they preen a little.
They tell her how
important they are,
how much money
they manage every day.
Next think you know, she knows
when and how to hit the bank.
And when Dellwin found out
She had him run over.
Exactly.
Hey.
Hot off the presses.
Great.
How did Marsden do?
This man's memory of
this woman is indelible.
Says that this
looks just like her.
Ah, by the way, ran
the name Mary Rhoden.
Came up with another alias.
So who the hell are you, lady?
There's no time to organize it.
It has to be done today.
2 and 1/2 million?
It can happen.
It's too risky.
Why?
There isn't even a bank guard.
Or is there some new
wrinkle we should know about?
No.
With our new way of,
uh, dividing the pot up,
maybe you just don't
like the arithmetic.
This last job is,
uh, our pension
plan for a long,
pleasant retirement.
I just wish we had
more time to study it.
Well, study it all you want.
We're going in.
I see, Ms. Ritter.
When was that?
Ah.
About a week ago?
I see.
Now, you sure she
took everything?
I see.
OK.
I appreciate it.
Yeah, thank you.
What do you got?
Well, Ms. Ritter says that
Linda Fallon did indeed
rent a private locker
at the racquetball club.
But a week ago, she
cleaned in and cleaned it out.
Probably cleaned off
her fingerprints, too.
Yeah.
We'll check it anyway.
That's a good idea.
Just when you think
you know what's going on,
we got an anonymous tip.
There's a 211 about to
happen at Golden West Bank.
Everybody stay calm.
Don't move.
No one's gonna get hurt.
Don't even move.
Don't even breathe.
Stay right there.
Nobody catches him alone.
Let's go.
Where the hell's Bayliss?
Freeze!
This is William 56.
Shots fired, officer down
at Golden West Bank.
Request an RA unit, code three.
Get a blanket for him, huh?
All right.
Let's cover him up.
Right, stay with him until
the wagon comes out.
Everybody all right?
Yeah.
How's the officer down?
The wagon's on it's way.
It doesn't look too good.
These guys are gone.
Good.
Got the driver alive and well.
Good.
We'll crack into him tonight.
You guys do good work.
Three counts of murder, Bayliss.
After you're finished
serving time for that,
you're going to do more
federal time for the bank jobs.
Gee, you know?
I'm standing here looking at
a guy with a real bright future.
I didn't kill anybody.
Lambert did and
you were with him.
It's the same thing.
You want to cut a deal, tell
me where Linda Fallon is.
I told you, I don't
know where she lived.
We always met at Lambert's.
What's her real name?
I don't know that either.
She sold you out, man.
Why are you trying
to protect her?
If I ever see her again, you'll
see how much I'll protect her.
You don't get it, do you?
Well, let me break
it down for you.
The magical mystery woman
has taken us for an eticket ride.
You, me, everybody.
Then the lady vanishes.
Poof.
What Redfern have to say?
He IDed our composite
Carol Johansson.
We know where she lives.
It seems he met
her at his riding club.
She rides too?
That's great.
Better get our forensic
guys over there right away.
Let us take a shot at it first.
Be my guest.
Come on.
Hey, how you doing?
She was thorough.
Wish I had the name
of her cleaning lady.
Uh huh.
What did the landlord tell you?
Well, said she left
some time last night.
I thought I might have the
FBI run our composite of her
over the airport.
Well, you know,
Bayliss said they all
planned to retire
after this job.
Go to the airport?
She's probably turned into an
astronaut or something by now.
You know what really gets
me about the whole situation
is how much fun
this woman is having.
She's horseback riding.
She's playing racquetball.
She's guzzling
down a what was it?
A $25,000 bottle of
Chateau Montreaux 1926.
Look, here's one thing
you can look forward to.
You don't have her around
to drive you crazy anymore.
What's the problem?
The wine.
You want some wine?
No, no, no!
The the wine!
Come on.
OK.
Everything looks fine.
You'll have checking,
savings, a gold card,
and three safety deposit boxes.
That's correct.
I see you're a
native of San Diego.
Yes, I've been out of
the country for years
investing in the foreign
real estate market.
It's good to be back.
Well, welcome home.
Will you need any
special handling of funds?
Foreign currency
transfers, anything like that?
I've reinvested most of my
money in the US bond market.
I will be catching bearer
bonds from time to time.
That'll be fine.
Ms. Carlton, we're happy
to have you as a customer.
Thank you.
Linda Fallon gave
that to Marsden.
Luckily, he put it
right into his cellar.
We don't think he
touched it that much.
Lab found three sets
of prints off that bottle.
I hope that one of
them matches hers.
Well, I hate to burst
your balloon here.
But unless she has a record or
something that we can manage
these prints to, it's not
going to make any difference.
She doesn't have
a record, Captain.
But she did work at a bank once.
We've got a complete
set of fingerprints on her.
Sarah Carlton, San Diego.
Seems like a
nice place to retire.
Could I have a usual?
I don't think so.
Sorry, I thought
you were the waiter.
No, wrong line of work.
And what is your line of work?
Banking.
Oh!
Could I buy you
a drink, mister, uh
Hunter.
Rick Hunter.
Hi.
Sarah Carlton.
Yes, I know.
Oh, Ted.
Thank you.
Well, I just got a
call from the FBI.
They're saying that
Sarah Carlton is denying
all responsibility
in the robberies.
Well, what do you
expect, Charlie?
She conned the bankers.
She's sure going
to try to con the FBI.
Ah, she can try.
I think we've really
got her nailed this time.
In fact, I'm going to
recommend to the DA
that he go for
an allfemale jury.
That'll knock the
wheels off her wagon.
Yeah, it really is
a shame, isn't it?
What do you mean?
Well, I mean, Ms. Carlton's
a very beautiful woman.
She's kind of, uh well,
she could have done more
with her life, don't you think?
Let me ask you both something.
Um, do you think
that either one of you
could have fallen for her?
I don't think so.
No.
I mean, if she
weren't a criminal,
could you have fallen for her?
Well, we're not, uh
we're not bankers
No, that's right.
Oh, OK.
But if you were bankers.
Well, I guess we could have
made a couple of deposits with her!
So where are you going?
I told you.
I have three days off
and I'm going fishing.
Are you going alone.
No, I'm not going alone.
Oh.
So, uh, who are you going with?
A guy.
Does he have a name?
Yes, he has a name.
You, uh, want to tell us?
Oh yeah, I'll tell you his
name if he rises to the bait.
Everybody freeze!
This is a holdup.
Do what we say,
nobody gets hurt.
Looks like they knew
what they were looking for.
They sure did.
Bearer bonds are
almost as good as cash.
$1,400,000.
Not bad for a
couple minutes work.
Nothing interesting
ever happens to bankers.
I think this banker's
very fascinating.
Could I buy you
a drink, mister, uh
Hunter.
Rick Hunter.
And what is your line of work?
Banking.
Where you been?
Oh, just, uh, running errands.
Looks like you've been shopping.
What you shopping for?
Gee, that looks like fishing.
Very good.
I didn't know you
were into fishing.
Oh, yeah.
Been fishing a long time.
Yeah?
What do you like?
Freshwater or deep sea?
Oh, deep sea?
Hm.
This is freshwater stuff.
I meant fresh water.
I was just just you know.
So want to tell me
what's going on?
There's nothing going on.
I just have a couple of days
off and I'm going to go fish.
Look.
The closest you've
ever been to fishing
is when you had a tuna fish
sandwich last week for lunch.
So what's his name?
What do you mean,
what's his name?
You think that I can't
go fishing by myself?
Well, you've got to have
someone hold your bait.
I was a girl scout.
I know how to camp.
Lieutenant, right?
No.
Give me my stop it!
Give me my pole.
Now, look.
This is me you're talking to.
Compadre, companion,
your friend, your amigo.
What's going on?
There's absolutely
nothing going on.
I'm just going to take the
three days, which by the way
are due me, and I'm
going to go fishing.
Now if you'll excuse
me, I have work to do.
I'm running late, honey
What about tomorrow?
I have a 12 o'clock
lunch meeting tomorrow.
It would have to
be the day after.
Well, there's always
tomorrow night.
Ah.
You know the rules.
It's too risky.
Zip me up.
You're frisky today!
Mmm.
I can't get enough of you.
I don't want to go back to work.
Neither do I. But we both
have these little things
called jobs.
I can think of much
better things to do.
You sure about
tomorrow night, huh?
We'll have to wait.
I got to go.
So you're a couple minutes late.
So what?
Looks like a snap.
Yeah, I hope so.
Hey, don't worry.
You know what to do.
Hear anything we
should know about,
three blasts from the horn.
Right.
Let's do it!
Good afternoon, Nancy.
Sorry I'm late.
Mr. Dellwin.
Mr. Dellwin, I need a
manager's approval on this check.
Let me see.
Looks all right to me.
You go ahead and put it through.
Everybody, freeze!
This is a holdup!
Give it to me.
Do what we say,
nobody gets hurt.
Touch that alarm
button, you're dead!
Stay calm.
Move away from the counter!
Everybody!
Now!
You come with me.
It's all right.
All you tellers, put your
hands up where I can see them.
Everybody else,
down on your bellies.
Now!
That's right.
Come on.
Open it.
Hey, not that key, man.
This key sets off
the alarm, man.
I'm not stupid.
Use the right one.
Now let's get the bearer bonds.
Open it!
Everybody keep your hands
up where I can see them.
Everything will be just fine.
Move, move, move!
End of the line.
Hold it!
Stay calm and stay put!
Hey, gonna hit that halfday.
Yes, exactly.
You were going to leave without
saying goodbye, weren't you?
I was just in a hurry.
I was running late, so
Hm.
Goodbye.
Bye.
Now we got a bank
robbery on Pacific Avenue.
I want the two of you
down there right away.
What is that?
Oh, you see, she's
after the big one.
With who?
Looks like they knew
they were looking for.
They sure did.
Bearer bonds are
almost as good as cash.
You know, maybe
one of your employees
tipped them off
to the key alarm.
I don't think of my
employees would
be involved in
anything like this.
Besides, a lot of banks
have similar alarm setups.
It could have anyone who worked
for a bank some time or other.
I see.
Look, maybe one of the
armored transport company people
or somebody from the main
office tipped the robbers off.
Eh, it's a possibility.
I still need to get a
list of all the people
who knew the bonds
were going to be here.
All right.
Got a final tally on
the bonds stolen.
$1,400,000.
Not bad for a
couple minutes work.
Oh, Mr. Dylan, this
is Dave Michaels, FBI.
How do you do?
And Mr. Dylan, your guard
should have engaged the suspect
the minute he
walked into the bank.
What happened?
I was late returning
from lunch and I
guess he stepped into
that office for a few minutes.
I don't know why.
Well, if you're done
with LAPD, the FBI
will want a separate
interview with you.
Certainly.
Thanks, Mr. Dellwin.
We'll be in touch.
Thanks.
We'll keep you informed
on what we find out.
You're not the kind of cops who
resent the fact that the Bureau
has jurisdiction in
cases like this, are you?
No, not at all.
I assume the FBI will
take care of the 211
and LAPD will handle the 187.
Right.
Just remember, you
take your lead from us.
No problem.
I guess you told
him, didn't you?
What if I that to you?
Ow!
It's a good thing you
were right about these.
If we'd walked out of there
empty handed after killing
that guard, someone
else might have gotten hurt.
Hey, I'll just saying
what's on my mind.
All three of us have a murder
rap on our hands right now.
It's nothing to worry about.
The police don't
have a thing to go on.
It's easy for you to say.
We're the ones
carrying the weight!
One slip and we're
up for the gas chamber.
If I'd known there
was a guard, I
would never have
sent you in there.
I put a lot of my own
time and money into this.
And if you succeed,
then I succeed.
Yeah, and if we get blown
away inside the bank,
you walk away untouched.
You knew what the odds were
when I brought you into this.
Killing people cost extra!
No way do you deserve 50%.
I put this whole thing together.
If it wasn't for me,
you'd be getting
50% of nothing
instead of 50% of this.
The last job's off unless
we even out the money.
1/3 for you, 2/3 for us.
We're with him.
It's totally up to you.
All right.
We do the last job.
Split everything.
1/3 is mine, 2/3 is yours.
Fair enough?
Anything you say, Ms. Fallon.
Hunter!
We just got the getaway
car from the bank job.
Lab boys went
over it tooth and nail.
Couldn't find a thing.
Oh, that figures, doesn't it?
Now the FBI is trying
to cross reference
that one shotgun shell we found.
But Michaels hasn't
called me back yet.
Uhhuh.
Captain.
This is Ken Dellwin.
He gave us a list
of employee names
for Security Independence.
Bank.
We can check them out.
Ms. Dylan. Good to
see you Mr. Dellwin.
Sir.
So now tell me.
How often do you
have these bearer
bonds stored in your vaults?
Maybe once or twice a year.
Well, you see, that's just too
big of a coincidence for me.
The bank robbers hit the
back exactly the same day
that the bearer bonds get there.
I just can't believe that one
of the employees at my branch
would be in on the job.
Well, Mr. Dellwin, it's possible
that it wasn't intentional.
Maybe one of your employees
told a friend and that individual
told somebody else.
We we discourage our employees
from discussing bank business.
But Mr. Dellwin, isn't it
possible somebody in your bank
told a close friend
or relative something?
Uh, anything's
possible, Sergeant.
Are you sure you didn't tell
anyone about those bonds coming
through the bank?
None of my friends care
anything about banking.
Why would I have said anything?
I'm just thinking
you might have said
something in a
passing conversation.
Well, I think I'd remember
if I'd said anything.
Ken, why are you
acting so crazy?
Well, it's just that when
that cop was talking to me,
I realized how much I
told you about the bank.
Ken, I didn't rob your bank.
You sure you didn't say
anything to anyone else?
I'm sure I didn't!
Darling, don't you trust me?
Sure.
I'm just a little
rattled, that's all.
Seeing that man gunned
down yesterday really shook me.
I know, I know.
You can't imagine what
went through my mind
when I heard it on the radio.
I thought, oh my
god, he's been killed.
I wanted to call you.
I wanted
I wanted to call you too.
There was no getting
away from my wife last night.
I really needed you.
Sorry I couldn't have
been there for you.
This isn't right.
We should be together.
Oh, Ken.
You know, it's not just
your wife we're talking about.
It's your kids, too.
I can work something out.
We both know it's so impossible.
Let's just be happy
with what we have.
You're beautiful.
I really love you.
Ken, we don't have privacy here.
There's always your apartmen. t
I can't, darling.
I'm late for an appointment.
Tomorrow.
I love you.
Sorry I'm late.
It doesn't matter.
I've been dying to see you.
You look like you're
in a good mood.
Oh, I always am
when I'm seeing you.
So what about the preliminaries?
What preliminaries?
Well, aren't you going to tell
me about how your day was?
Nothing interesting
ever happens to bankers.
Oh, I don't think that's true.
Hm?
I think this banker
is very fascinating.
Hey.
I just finished doing
a background check
on Ken Dellwin's list of people.
According to this,
other than a couple
outstanding warrants for traffic
violation, everybody is clean.
Everyone?
Everyone.
Even the people at the
armored car company?
Yep.
Oh, that's great.
Tell you what,
Charlie's not going
to spring for four
or five officers
to help us check people out.
Tell me about it.
You have a visitor.
I was hoping you'd both be here.
Our lab came up with a
match for the shell casing found
at the Security
Independence robbery.
It compared to the casing
found at a robbery in the San
Fernando Valley four months
ago, the New Liberty bank.
Nobody was killed in that one.
They expended to
round into the ceiling
to get everybody's attention.
Now we're getting someplace.
Yeah.
They wore Halloween masks
and trench coats in that one.
But everything else
about the MO compares
exactly to Security
Independence.
How much did they get?
A million two,
most of it being held
in bearer bonds for the
San Francisco reserve.
And these guys knew
what they were looking for.
I guess it's a dead
end, Sergeant.
Not one of them worked here
at the time we were robbed.
You want me to go
through the files again?
No, no.
That's all right.
Excuse me.
Sure.
Yes?
Tell him I'll be interested in
buying when the price is right.
Well, what did you say?
Fine.
Tell him I'll call
him back later.
It's my white wine broker.
I collect vintage wines.
It's kind of a hobby.
You know, I was thinking.
We have photos
of all the employees
of Security Independence.
It's possible one of
them was using an alias
and that's why you
couldn't match the name.
Would you be willing to
come down to Parker Center
and take a look?
Sure.
I can't believe that
one of our employees
was involved in the robbery.
Well, still.
It's real odd that your
bank would be held up
on the same day that you
get a shipment of bonds
to your vault.
Only five of us knew
the bonds were there.
And the FBI went over each
one of us with a magnifying glass
and didn't come
up with anything.
It was only a coincidence.
Maybe not.
What are you doing?
Changed my mind.
I'm going into the office today.
But the bank gave
you the day off!
You should take it.
I can't. Don't
make dinner for me.
I'll be a little late tonight.
Ken!
We've got to talk.
I don't have time.
You never have time anymore.
I've had a lot on my mind late.
What, another woman?
I want the truth for change.
You have the truth.
Who is she?
What's her name?
Did you meet her at work?
You've got it all wrong.
Don't treat me like an idiot.
You think I don't know
what's happening between us?
You don't talk to me.
You don't touch me.
Tell me who she is.
We'll talk later.
Stop running away from me.
Not now.
We'll talk later.
We'll talk now.
You're like a
tourist in this house.
All you do is eat
and sleep here.
Your mind and your
emotions are somewhere else.
Well, I've been
busy lately, too.
My bank was robbed.
My guard was gunned down!
I want my husband back.
Tonight.
We'll talk tonight.
Ken!
I'm not living
like this anymore.
Ken!
What a surprise.
I'll bet it is.
What's the matter?
You want to tell me about
the guy I just saw you with?
The one you were
kissing outside?
Well, if you really want to
know, she's my exboyfriend
and he wanted to
get back together.
What are you going to do?
I told them that I
was in love with you
and so we just set
our final goodbyes.
I was just going to call you.
I really miss you.
Oh, you never
stop lying, do you?
That old boyfriend of yours?
We started out together
at the same bank.
His name is Al Redfern.
So?
So you either have
a thing for bankers,
or you were using me to set
up the robbery at my own bank.
And you're probably doing
the very same thing to him.
You're way off base.
You know that I was
coming over here
to tell you that I wanted to
divorce my wife and marry you?
You really suckered
me in all the way.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Knock it off!
I know what's going on here.
You were never in love with me.
I was being used.
You're all wrong.
I am all right!
I told you everything
about my bank.
The alarm system,
the bonds, everything!
How long was it going to
be before you dumped me?
Maybe the police would
like to know what you're up to.
Go ahead and go to the police.
You'll lose your house,
your wife, your job.
I'll tell him you helped
me plan the whole thing.
Face it, Ken.
You got what you wanted,
and I got what I wanted.
You're nothing but a whore.
A very well paid one.
Get out, Ken.
That's it, captain.
No exemployees
from Marsden's bank
were working at Security
Independence when it was hit.
So I guess that shoots
down your theory
about being an inside job.
Well, not exactly.
Wait a minute.
I see this coming.
You're going to try
to sell me on the idea
that somebody on the outside
had connections inside both
those banks and helped
to set up the robbery?
Yes.
So where does that leave us?
Well, what we'd like to do is
to interview all the relatives
and friends of the
employees at Security
Independence and
New Liberty Bank?
Do you have any idea
how much time and personal
that would cost?
Four people?
Yeah, got about four officers.
A couple weeks.
Over about two weeks.
What?
Absolutely not.
No way.
There is no way.
No.
Look, Charlie.
That's our only lead.
That's all we got left.
All right.
I'll tell you what I will do.
I cannot give you
any more personal.
But I'll give you a week to
interview as many people
as you can find.
If you don't buy anything
by then, I'm pulling the plug!
How was I to know he 'd
come by my place like he did?
Every time you slip up, you
put our necks on the time.
Now, this isn't a game
we were playing, lady.
This is for keeps.
If you want out, say so.
But until then, I'm
running this show.
All right.
If you're so smart,
what do we do next?
Well, the way I see it,
we have two options.
One, we split the take,
we forget about the last job,
and leave town now.
And we forget about the $2
million in Al Redfern's bank.
What's the second option?
Have you found the
person who did this?
No we haven't, Ms. Dellwin.
We think your husband
was deliberately run over.
What?
We think it may have something
to do with the bank robbery.
How?
Ms. Dellwin, your husband
may have given the bank robbers
that inadvertently
some information
that helped them rob the bank.
Oh, oh no.
Ken Ken would never have
been party to anything like that.
The man was killed!
We're not saying that
he was an accomplice.
He made a mistake.
It's not like him.
Mrs. Dellwin, had your husband
changed any of his business
activities over the
last few weeks?
Made any new
business acquaintances?
Made any new friends?
My husband has been
seeing another woman.
I I've suspected
for several weeks.
I call his office at
noon and they'd
say he was playing racquetball.
And then I call the
racquetball court
and they say he wasn't there.
And then at night, he just lied.
Ms. Dellwin, do you know
who this woman was?
No.
I was curious at
first, even thought
about hiring a private
detective to follow him.
But I didn't.
Look, Ms. Dellwin.
This woman could be very
helpful in our investigation.
Would it be possible if
Sergeant McCall and I came back
to talk to you
later on about it?
Yeah.
Thank you very much.
Would you like us to
take you to your car?
No, I'd like to
stay here please.
Certainly.
Thank you, Ms. Dellwin.
I'm very sorry.
You were terrific.
I was inspired.
You better hurry or
you're going to be late.
You have a very big
day today, remember?
Oh, I remember.
Something very
big and mysterious.
And you said that bankers
don't have an exciting life.
Oh, it's not going to change
the course of human history.
Just a little shipment.
Well, a big shipment, at
least for our little branch.
So what are you bringing in?
A million in gold?
Nothing so romantic.
But a lot more money.
I'm taking reception of two
and 1/2 million in bearer bonds
this afternoon.
We send them off to
Belgium in the morning.
Tomorrow.
Tomorrow.
It was not just a hit and run.
Dellwin was taken down
because he knew something Now,
you say there's nothing
suspicious in his background?
He never drank,
smoked, or kicked the dog.
That's right.
Well, he sounds like
he's criminally dull to me.
Uh, Captain.
This guy did have
one particular vice.
The day manager at his
club remembers Dellwin.
He said that last month, he
came in regularly at lunch time
to play a match
with a very attractive
lady whose name
was Linda Fallon.
She also was a recent member.
And over the last few weeks,
he hasn't seen either one of them.
Linda Fallon.
That must be the
girl that Dellwin's
having an affair with.
So Dellwin's not the
dullard we thought he was.
Look, somebody hit this guy.
It's too much of a coincidence.
We got to find
this Linda Fallon.
Run a check on her.
Yeah, right.
What was the manager's
name at Liberty Bank?
Marsden.
Marsden.
Linda Fallon.
I don't know
anyone by that name.
It's a rather
indelicate question,
but were you involved
with another woman
at about that time?
What are you getting at?
What she's getting
at, Mr. Marsden,
is if you're withholding
information from the police
investigation of a homicide,
you're obstructing justice.
Now, you were having an
affair with another woman.
Weren't you?
Yes.
Her name was Mary Rhoden
I met her at a wine tasting.
She was so beautiful.
She she just came at me.
And you were taken in.
Oh yeah.
You know, she she even bought
me a '26 Chateau Montreaux.
That's a bottle of wine?
A very rare and
expensive bottle of wine.
I thought she was
in love with me.
And then one day, she left.
Just like that.
You probably think
I'm a fool if not worse.
Look.
If at all possible,
don't tell my wife.
Yeah, this woman researches
her victims very carefully.
She makes sure that
they're married, which
makes them more discreet.
And then she goes
to work on them.
Right.
And in Dellwin's case, she
found that the guy's a health nut.
She joined his health club
and started playing racquetball.
With him.
You know, with Marsden,
it was the wine business.
He's sort of a wine snob.
Right.
You know, I think I'm
getting the picture now.
These managers,
they preen a little.
They tell her how
important they are,
how much money
they manage every day.
Next think you know, she knows
when and how to hit the bank.
And when Dellwin found out
She had him run over.
Exactly.
Hey.
Hot off the presses.
Great.
How did Marsden do?
This man's memory of
this woman is indelible.
Says that this
looks just like her.
Ah, by the way, ran
the name Mary Rhoden.
Came up with another alias.
So who the hell are you, lady?
There's no time to organize it.
It has to be done today.
2 and 1/2 million?
It can happen.
It's too risky.
Why?
There isn't even a bank guard.
Or is there some new
wrinkle we should know about?
No.
With our new way of,
uh, dividing the pot up,
maybe you just don't
like the arithmetic.
This last job is,
uh, our pension
plan for a long,
pleasant retirement.
I just wish we had
more time to study it.
Well, study it all you want.
We're going in.
I see, Ms. Ritter.
When was that?
Ah.
About a week ago?
I see.
Now, you sure she
took everything?
I see.
OK.
I appreciate it.
Yeah, thank you.
What do you got?
Well, Ms. Ritter says that
Linda Fallon did indeed
rent a private locker
at the racquetball club.
But a week ago, she
cleaned in and cleaned it out.
Probably cleaned off
her fingerprints, too.
Yeah.
We'll check it anyway.
That's a good idea.
Just when you think
you know what's going on,
we got an anonymous tip.
There's a 211 about to
happen at Golden West Bank.
Everybody stay calm.
Don't move.
No one's gonna get hurt.
Don't even move.
Don't even breathe.
Stay right there.
Nobody catches him alone.
Let's go.
Where the hell's Bayliss?
Freeze!
This is William 56.
Shots fired, officer down
at Golden West Bank.
Request an RA unit, code three.
Get a blanket for him, huh?
All right.
Let's cover him up.
Right, stay with him until
the wagon comes out.
Everybody all right?
Yeah.
How's the officer down?
The wagon's on it's way.
It doesn't look too good.
These guys are gone.
Good.
Got the driver alive and well.
Good.
We'll crack into him tonight.
You guys do good work.
Three counts of murder, Bayliss.
After you're finished
serving time for that,
you're going to do more
federal time for the bank jobs.
Gee, you know?
I'm standing here looking at
a guy with a real bright future.
I didn't kill anybody.
Lambert did and
you were with him.
It's the same thing.
You want to cut a deal, tell
me where Linda Fallon is.
I told you, I don't
know where she lived.
We always met at Lambert's.
What's her real name?
I don't know that either.
She sold you out, man.
Why are you trying
to protect her?
If I ever see her again, you'll
see how much I'll protect her.
You don't get it, do you?
Well, let me break
it down for you.
The magical mystery woman
has taken us for an eticket ride.
You, me, everybody.
Then the lady vanishes.
Poof.
What Redfern have to say?
He IDed our composite
Carol Johansson.
We know where she lives.
It seems he met
her at his riding club.
She rides too?
That's great.
Better get our forensic
guys over there right away.
Let us take a shot at it first.
Be my guest.
Come on.
Hey, how you doing?
She was thorough.
Wish I had the name
of her cleaning lady.
Uh huh.
What did the landlord tell you?
Well, said she left
some time last night.
I thought I might have the
FBI run our composite of her
over the airport.
Well, you know,
Bayliss said they all
planned to retire
after this job.
Go to the airport?
She's probably turned into an
astronaut or something by now.
You know what really gets
me about the whole situation
is how much fun
this woman is having.
She's horseback riding.
She's playing racquetball.
She's guzzling
down a what was it?
A $25,000 bottle of
Chateau Montreaux 1926.
Look, here's one thing
you can look forward to.
You don't have her around
to drive you crazy anymore.
What's the problem?
The wine.
You want some wine?
No, no, no!
The the wine!
Come on.
OK.
Everything looks fine.
You'll have checking,
savings, a gold card,
and three safety deposit boxes.
That's correct.
I see you're a
native of San Diego.
Yes, I've been out of
the country for years
investing in the foreign
real estate market.
It's good to be back.
Well, welcome home.
Will you need any
special handling of funds?
Foreign currency
transfers, anything like that?
I've reinvested most of my
money in the US bond market.
I will be catching bearer
bonds from time to time.
That'll be fine.
Ms. Carlton, we're happy
to have you as a customer.
Thank you.
Linda Fallon gave
that to Marsden.
Luckily, he put it
right into his cellar.
We don't think he
touched it that much.
Lab found three sets
of prints off that bottle.
I hope that one of
them matches hers.
Well, I hate to burst
your balloon here.
But unless she has a record or
something that we can manage
these prints to, it's not
going to make any difference.
She doesn't have
a record, Captain.
But she did work at a bank once.
We've got a complete
set of fingerprints on her.
Sarah Carlton, San Diego.
Seems like a
nice place to retire.
Could I have a usual?
I don't think so.
Sorry, I thought
you were the waiter.
No, wrong line of work.
And what is your line of work?
Banking.
Oh!
Could I buy you
a drink, mister, uh
Hunter.
Rick Hunter.
Hi.
Sarah Carlton.
Yes, I know.
Oh, Ted.
Thank you.
Well, I just got a
call from the FBI.
They're saying that
Sarah Carlton is denying
all responsibility
in the robberies.
Well, what do you
expect, Charlie?
She conned the bankers.
She's sure going
to try to con the FBI.
Ah, she can try.
I think we've really
got her nailed this time.
In fact, I'm going to
recommend to the DA
that he go for
an allfemale jury.
That'll knock the
wheels off her wagon.
Yeah, it really is
a shame, isn't it?
What do you mean?
Well, I mean, Ms. Carlton's
a very beautiful woman.
She's kind of, uh well,
she could have done more
with her life, don't you think?
Let me ask you both something.
Um, do you think
that either one of you
could have fallen for her?
I don't think so.
No.
I mean, if she
weren't a criminal,
could you have fallen for her?
Well, we're not, uh
we're not bankers
No, that's right.
Oh, OK.
But if you were bankers.
Well, I guess we could have
made a couple of deposits with her!
So where are you going?
I told you.
I have three days off
and I'm going fishing.
Are you going alone.
No, I'm not going alone.
Oh.
So, uh, who are you going with?
A guy.
Does he have a name?
Yes, he has a name.
You, uh, want to tell us?
Oh yeah, I'll tell you his
name if he rises to the bait.
