The Streets of San Francisco (1972–1977): Season 2, Episode 2 - Betrayed - full transcript

A young executive stole money from his company, he then robs a bank to replace it. The robbery goes wrong and a security guard is killer and his live in client happens to be working at the bank that day as a part time teller.

Listen, can you keep
the meter running?

I'll be about five minutes.

Can do.

Here you go.

Hey, thanks, man.

Katie, thanks for
pinch-hitting today.

Must be the flu.

The girls are
dropping like flies.

Heh. No kidding, though.
You really bailed me out.

If you had any class,
you'd take me to lunch.

Well, it's tough
to get too classy



when you got a
wife and three kids.

How about Dutch at the deli?

You're on.

Are you sure that guy
you've been seeing

won't get bent out of
shape if he finds out?

He'd better. Oh-ho-ho.

Freeze. Turn
around. Turn around.

Move.

You. Stay put.

Agh.

Anybody else
moves, they're dead.

You. Fill it up. Just the bills.

Best you tellers move
away from those windows.

Come on, lady, move faster.



You, by the door, duck squat.

You heard me, duck squat.

That's fine there, lady,
move to the next drawer.

Come on, move.

Wow.

Hey, man, this stuff
is unreal, you know?

Hey, Tonto, you
gonna buy something

or stand around with your
mouth flapping all day?

Oh, come on, man. Don't
pull no numbers on me.

I'm just waiting
for my gig, you dig?

Well, wait in your
hack, all right?

This ain't the public library.

Okay, man. Okay.
Don't get hassled.

Hey, let's go, old buddy.

Right away, sir.

And the woman,
the one that was hit?

Kate Evans. She
was right over here.

Over there, behind that desk.

She started to get up and...

And then she started to
move toward him, and...

Who moved towards him?

Um, Miss Evans. Kate Evans.

Sh... I guess the guy thought

she was going to
scream or something.

He hit her so hard.

Mr. Davis, let me ask you,

is it normal for a
branch bank like this

to be carrying a hundred
thousand on hand?

No, that's just the point.
Never. Except on Thursday.

More of a courtesy
than anything else.

Just to cash the payroll
checks for our customers.

Who knows about that?

Heh. Anybody who
banks here, I suppose.

Or works here.

Well, I don't quite understand

that kind of a
comment, inspector.

Are you suggesting
that one of our

employees is involved in this?

Mike? Check it out.

Excuse me. Mr. Davis.

You said the man
had a green topcoat

and he put the money
in a brown leather case.

You didn't see his face,
you didn't see his hands.

Tell me.

What did you notice?

Did you notice the way he spoke?

Did he have an accent?

Accent? N-no.

Use any funny phrases?

Hm. Oh, y...

Well, I don't really
think it was important.

Go on. Go on. It might be.

Well, he said something that

I hadn't heard
since basic training.

What was that? Uh, "duck squat."

There was a customer
over here trying to slip out,

and he told him to duck squat.

Duck squat, huh? Okay.

Now, you say he came

in through that side door.

And how did he go out?

The same. The side.

All right, Mr. Davis.
Thank you very much.

We'll keep in touch.

Climb on the horn
to headquarters.

Have them go through
the bank-robbery files.

And ask them if the phrase
"duck squat" has been used

in any job in the
last couple of years.

Yes, operator. I understand.

Yes, I have some change
coming. How much is it?

Fifteen cents?

Well, that's not necessary
but, uh, it's very sweet of you.

Yes, my name is Katherine Evans

and you can mail it
to 3217 Union Street.

Yes.

Thank you very much.

Miss Evans?

I'm sorry.

Ah, my name is Steven Keller.

I'm an inspector with
the police department.

If you're feeling up to it,

I have couple of
questions I'd like to ask you.

I was listening to the radio.

And they said that the
security guard had been killed.

Is that so?

Yes.

Did you recognize the gunman?

No. You're sure?

Yes. Why?

Well, why did you move
towards him during the robbery?

Did I? Yes.

Yes.

Yes, I suppose I did.

No, uh.

No, I don't have any
explanation for that

except the doctors
say I probably

sustained some kind of shock.

But you moved towards him

before you were hit, ma'am.

I'm sorry. This, uh...

This really is not
my finest hour.

Maybe we can continue
these questions later.

Just have a couple
more questions.

You don't give
up easily, do you?

A man's dead.

I don't really see how I can.

Thank you. You're welcome.

So you, uh, think the market

has really bottomed
out, eh, Dean?

Daddy.

Oh, I'm sorry, dear.

I'm just trying to
pump your young man

to see if I can get a few tips

to pass on to those

who seem to be systematically

destroying my portfolio.

Lindsay tells me
you've, uh, turned a profit

yourself these last few days.

Well... Daddy,
you're about as subtle

as a sledgehammer.

What he's really asking you

is if you can support me

in the style I'm accustomed to.

And the answer is yes.

Now that that's
finally off your chest,

can I get my partner
out on the court, please?

Oh, I thought we might
have one drink together.

Sorry about that.

He still needs some work

on his backhand
before he's perfect.

Hello, Johnny.

Hey, Mike. How you hitting them?

Oh, not bad. Not
good, but not bad.

You know how it is. Listen.

Did you see anything out here

during that trouble at the bank?

Sorry, Mike.

I didn't even know
anything was going on

till the first black
and white blew in.

You didn't see anything
at all during that time?

A guy with a...

Oh, a topcoat and a briefcase?

Oh, come on, Mike. Look around.

How many topcoats and briefcases

go by here in a day?

Look.

I'm not talking about all day.

I'm talking about ten minutes.

Fifteen minutes at the most.

Now, he hit that bank at 1:00.

He was out in five minutes.

That put him on the street

around five minutes before 1

and five minutes after.

He had on a green coat

and he was carrying
a brown leather case.

So don't you give me any of that

everybody-looks-alike-out-here
jazz.

You really want
him bad, don't you?

That mean he cashed somebody?

Security guard.

Old Charlie Bates? Oh, no.

Why, I've been
selling to him for...

Oh, why a nice
old guy like that?

Come on, come on,
Johnny, think. One o'clock.

I don't know, Mike.

Yeah, yeah. Wait
a minute. Maybe...

What? There was a guy.

Came out of the
hotel just before

the black and white rolled in.

And he had a briefcase.

But I couldn't
swear about brown.

He came out of the hotel?

Yeah.

Sure, that figures.

He could have ducked in the back

and come out here.

Hey, was he alone or was
somebody waiting for him?

How did you happen
to pick him out?

The cabby. He kept bugging me.

A... A real weirdo.

You know, long hair.

A real loose end.

Cabby, huh? Yeah.

The cab was waiting for him

with the motor running.

Pretty smart.

Could've pulled into traffic

as though nothing had happened.

Right. Name of the cab company?

Let's see, Golden Gate, I think.

Golden Gate?

They got a lot of those
ding-dongs driving for them.

Yeah, they have. Anything else?

Uh, no. But, Mike.

That's not to say
he was your man.

Maybe not. But
it's a start, Johnny.

It's a doggone good start.

No way. Thanks a lot.

Come on, take it. Please.

Just, uh, nail the crumb.

For old Charlie.

Hi, love. What you doing?

Hey. What happened to you?

Didn't you get my message?

What message?

I called your office
from the hospital.

Hospital? Darling,
what happened?

The bank was robbed.

You're kidding.

But wait a minute, you
weren't there, were you?

Y-you were supposed
to be off today.

One of the girls was sick.

Tom Davis called me to fill in.

Darling, I can't believe it.

Are you all right?
How did you get hurt?

He, um... The man hit me.

Oh, no.

I'm all right. He
killed a guard, though.

Oh, my God.

Oh, you... You poor darling.

You've been through all that?

Well, are y...? Are you
sure you're all right?

Listen, I'm gonna get
a hold of Frank Kamer.

Have him take a look at
you and run some tests.

Dean, I just came
from the hospital.

Well, who saw you there?

Some intern just
out of med school?

Listen, darling, you
deserve the best

and Frank Kamer's the best.

You still look a
little shaky to me.

Dean, I don't need
another doctor.

I don't need another doctor.

I just need you to hold me.

Just hold me.

Just please hold me.

A-All right, babe.

It's okay. It's okay.

Just hold me.

What is this? A power shortage?

No. A film festival.

Film festival. Yeah.

Hey, you got that developed
pretty fast, buddy boy.

Yeah. The lab
needed the overtime.

There. Right there.

What?

She knew him. I'm sure of it.

Or thought she did.

There's a big
difference, buddy boy.

Hey, you guys wanna give us

a little light around here?

Yeah, Bill, sorry.

Even when I talked to her,

I knew she was
holding something back.

Well, run a make on her.

Got R&I on it.

Good, what about the taxi?

No word yet.

Well, jump on them again.

Tell them we want it
now, not next week.

Mike? Yeah.

Uh, duck squat.

That phrase match you asked for?

Turned up a guy with two priors.

Both armed robbery
and both branch banks.

He used the same expression?

He did the last time out.

Come on.

Bill, push those guys
for that taxi information.

Check this number out, will ya?

Okay. Thank you.

Poor Pretty Boy.

Still don't feel well, do ya?

Morning. Good morning.

How you feel? Like a new woman.

Nothing wrong with the
old one, if you ask me.

Hey, you're up
early this morning.

Where you off to?

Oh, just thought I'd go out

and get a breath of fresh air.

Nothing special.

You give me a
chance to get dressed,

I'll go with ya.

You have to play
golf with some clients.

So? I can cancel.

Don't be silly.

You sure? Positive.

To be continued.

I'm gonna hold you to that.

Have a good
morning. You too, hon.

If I just scored a hundred thou,

I don't think I'd return
here for anything.

Anybody ever tell you
you'd make a lousy crook?

You think being a cop
was my first choice?

Check the back. Right.

Yeah?

Taylor?

Binx Taylor?

Who wants to know?

Police.

Steve!

Okay, man.

All right, on the
wall. Let's go.

What are you doing? I'm clean.

You got no business hassling me.

What do you know about
the Bay National Bank?

The what? The
bank, man, the bank.

Man, I don't know
nothing about no bank.

All right, Taylor, duck squat.

What? You heard
me, man. Duck squat.

Put your hands behind your neck.

Lose something, Taylor?

So you know I
gotta fly to Denver

tonight to see a client.

You know, sometimes
I get the feeling

you've got another
girl hidden away.

You really should see someone
about your fantasies, my dear.

Anybody in particular?

You couldn't afford the price.

We'd work it out.

I'll call you
tonight, love. Okay.

Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

Kate. Please.

Get away from me.

No, listen to me. Please.

You hurt me. No,
darling, I can explain.

Let go of me. No,
please listen to me.

Darling, she's a client.
A client, nothing more.

It's an account I need.

I swear to God. Nothing more.

What did you need
me for? The bank?

Don't do it, Katie.

Please. Not till we can talk.

You don't know what
happened or why it happened.

Darling, I did it for us.

Everything was for
us. I love you, Katie.

Please. I love you.

Would you turn around, please?

Turn around.

Now, you mind telling me
what that was all about?

It was my fault, officer.

He was just trying to keep me
from doing something foolish.

I don't deserve you,
darling. I really don't.

I destroyed everything
we had together.

How can I expect
you to understand

why I had to do it?

I understood.

You told me and I understood.

You say you do
because you're beautiful.

Really beautiful.

You know, I was
scared back there.

Terrified.

I can't allow that fear to
involve you in what I did.

I should've told that cop
right then but I couldn't.

I think I can now. I
just had to tell you first.

No.

You took that money to cover
what you stole from the firm.

Now that you've put it
back, nobody knows.

And nobody knows
about the bank but me.

I have to do it, darling.

I can't live with
myself anymore.

I have to get it over
with. Dean, listen to me.

That security guard died.

I know you didn't mean
for him to, but he did.

That means a life
sentence. Even with parole.

Dean, I'm not young anymore.

By the time you're free...

I love you.

Don't ask me how
or why. I just do.

I love you and I need you now.

Okay. Okay. Well,
what about the stash?

Well, you bet I saw him throw it

and I saw him belt my partner

to get a chance to do it.

Well, you just give us the dates

and we'll both be there.

Scratch Taylor.
He's got an alibi.

He was in court
all day yesterday

trying to beat an assault rap.

Well, I guess we knew
that when we nailed him.

Listen, uh, you got
something smaller for a buck?

Did you look in the kitty?

Yeah, but there's not enough.

Put in an IOU.

Oh, come on. Come on, now.

A dime. You gotta have a dime.

Man, how come I
always gotta have a dime

when you never do?

What do you mean, "never do"?

If I kept track of
how much money

I put for your coffee habit,

I'd have a week's pay by now.

Okay, buddy boy.

What's chewing on ya?

I don't know. I
guess it's, uh...

It's that bank guard.
Just about to retire. Boom.

Also all these dead ends.

I just got this from R&I.

So that's it, huh?

Pride?

Now, wait a minute.
Wait just one minute.

Now, before you get
the old needle in too far,

remember you're
the man that told me

to listen to my gut
as well as my head.

And my gut tells me
that woman's covering up.

There's nothing she had to
cover on a record like this.

Not even a parking ticket.

No debts. A-one credit.

Same address for
the past 17 years.

Same phone number,
same job, there's no passport.

That means she
didn't do any traveling.

Right.

Lifestyle hasn't changed any.

There's nothing here that
sounds like all of a sudden

she jumped into
the middle of a bank.

You're ri... I got nothing.

All I got is what I feel

and what I saw in that film.

A picture of a woman

walking towards
a man with a gun.

I know she's as
straight as could be,

but you want to tell me
she's gonna talk that dude

into backing out the
same way he came in?

I mean, what was
she doing? You tell me.

I don't know, Mike.
But I wanna find out.

I want to put a team on her

and have her staked out.

Hold it.

Hold it right there.
Now, wait a minute.

Maybe I did tell you some time
or other to play your hunches.

But you do know, don't you,

that somebody
has to pay for them.

Huh?

Now, what do you
think we'd look like

asking for a stakeout
on information like this?

Oh, Mike? Yeah.

I found your cabby. Oh, good.

Here's that number,
Steve. Thanks.

What number? Oh, just a hunch.

I'm not leaving myself open yet.

Uh, Miss Evans, is it?

Yes.

And you're a friend of Dean's?

Yes. Quite a good friend.

Sorry. I don't remember
his mentioning you.

No, I'm... I'm
sure he never did.

Um, is there something
I can do for you?

Did he give you that?

What?

The ring.

Yes.

I'm sorry. I guess I...

And you gave him the bracelet?

Yes. The gold bracelet.

He's been wearing it
the last three months.

Is that when you became engaged?

Yes. Uh, forgive me,
Miss Evans, but I don't...

Miss Campbell, you
asked me a question

that I didn't answer.

Yes, there's something
you can do for me.

And for yourself.

You can give him up.

What did you say?

You can give him up.

He's not for you and
you're not for him.

He's a cripple.

He's a strange,
confused boy, really.

And he's trying so
hard to... Who are you?

Have you ever
wondered about times

when he couldn't be with you?

When he had to
be somewhere else?

I'm it.

The business meetings.

The trips out of town,
the late-night work,

the golf games with clients.

You and Dean?

I'm sorry. I just
don't believe it.

I know. I didn't believe
it either, Miss Campbell,

until I found out that
you were all those things.

So whether you admit
it or not, Miss Campbell,

we have a great deal in common.

The only difference is you
could never forgive Dean.

And I can.

I lost my pride a long time ago.

I'll be 41 years old
before this year is over.

And before my
life is over, I want...

Get out.

Get out.

Yeah, yeah. Real
smooth dude. Yeah.

Figured he was doing all
right in one of those places too.

Laid a 5 on me
when I took him back.

One of those places?

You mean, where you picked him

up and dropped him off?

Yeah, you know, stocks
and bonds. Stuff like that.

You know, a cat could
make a real nice little stash...

If you like that kind of hassle.

Yeah, what's the address?

Oh, no address. Just a corner.

Same one I picked him up at.

What corner was that?

Montgomery and Bush.

Yeah? It's terrific,
huh? Just great.

Right in the middle
of money market.

You know, it would take...

Oh, at least five yea... Oh, no.

Ten years to canvass
all these offices here.

Give me a dollar, will you?

What do you want with a dollar?

Gotta make a phone call
and you took my last dime.

Hi.

Okay.

Okay, what's the
deal? Same prefix.

This could be the best dime
you ever spend in your life.

Well, it's a dime to
you, but it's a buck to me

and I still don't have any
idea what it's going to buy.

All right, when I
went to the hospital

to see Kate Evans,
she was on a payphone.

Well, she must've put a
quarter in on a dime call because

the operator was gonna
give her her money back,

you know how they do?

Anyway, I didn't
think much of it then,

but later on it hit me.

What hit you?

Who was she calling?

I know they keep
records of things like that.

I had Tanner check it
out and he gave me this...

Could you repeat that, please?

Thank you very much.

Fox, Crane and Gorman.

The way you describe him,
it just has to be Mr. Knox.

He's as well-known
around here for his wardrobe

as his knowledge of Wall Street.

Well, we certainly appreciate
what you're doing for us.

Not at all. That's his
office straight ahead.

Tell me what she said...

Do you happen to
know who she is?

His fiancée, I think.

Or maybe it was.

Steve. Got it.

Well, uh, thank you very
much. I'll announce myself.

Yes, Katherine Evans
is one of my clients.

Small investments, of course.

I mean, nothing more than,
uh, ten shares at a time.

But I don't follow, lieutenant.

Are you trying to
tell me you suspect

Miss Evans of being
involved in this robbery?

Well, you do know
she works at that bank.

Yes. I mean, no.

I-I mean, I didn't know, uh,

that she worked in that bank.

I knew she worked
at a bank somewhere.

But like I said, she's, uh,
not a very large investor.

Well, I just thought,
being her broker and all,

you might know if she
had any money troubles.

Well, I wish I
could help you, sir.

But, uh, as far as I'm aware,

Miss Evans has no
financial problems at all.

None.

That's good enough for me.

Say, uh, I appreciate your time.

Not at all.

Say, um, I suppose
in your business,

a lot of clowns come to you

and ask you for, uh...

But if you did have a
few beans laying around

and you'd like to see
them grow a little?

Right. We're getting
a lot of action recently

from National Wheel and Brake.

National Wheel and Brake?

Right. It's gone up seven
points this week already.

Seven points.

And I suspect it's gonna
hit another 15 to 20

before it starts to peak.

Phew.

National Wheel and Brake.

Right.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

There it is.

Reverse it.

Move in on his wrist.

Hold it right there.

I knew it.

I knew I'd seen it
before. Turn it off.

Bet Kate Evans
recognized it too.

I'll bet she gave it to him.

I don't know. That
looked pretty expensive.

That looked more
like that, uh...

That Campbell girl's
style, you know?

Finally found a way to join it.

Yep.

Do we wanna bring him in?

Oh, no. No, no, not yet.

The DA would laugh
us right out of the office.

You know, the mask
that he had on there

is nothing compared to the one

that he put on for me.

Mr. Innocence.

I'll bet you if they gave
him a lie-detector test

he wouldn't even
wiggle the needle.

We gotta find something
to lock him up good.

Something solid.

How about your lady, buddy boy?

Think we can crack her?

Yeah. I think so.
If she knows, yeah.

She knows.

The question is, does she know

too much for her own good?

Happy? You know I am.

You didn't tell
anybody, did you?

You said not to.

You're sure you
wanna stick with me?

You know that too.

Your last chance to bail out.

Miss Evans?

She ain't here.

Do you know where she is?

Vacation.

Well, where?

I don't know.

Ma'am, it's very important.

They wanted to be by themselves.

They?

Heh. Her boyfriend.

Say, is she in any kind
of trouble or anything?

She could be unless
we find her, yes.

I promised not to tell anyone.

But, well, she left
Pretty Boy with me.

The bird.

He's been sick with pneumonia.

It's a big responsibility.

What do I know from birds?

Anyway, she told me if
anything happened to him,

I could reach her
at Pine Wood Lodge.

That's Marin County.

And plenty private. Thank
you. Thank you very much.

What are you smiling about?

Oh, it's gonna be
a beautiful sunset.

You're an incorrigible
romantic, dear.

I know. I am.

I had to invent most of my life.

I must've been the
loneliest person in the world

till I met you.

Now, how'd I get into that?

Let's go down to the
point and watch the sunset.

Well, I'm delighted you're so
overwhelmed with my suggestion.

It's not that. It's just that...

I've always had this
thing about heights.

Of course, darling.
I'm sorry, I forgot.

It's silly, I know.

I mean, you'd think
after all these years,

I would have worked it out.

Not to worry.

We'll think of something else.

No, if you wanna go to the point

to watch the sunset,
let's go to the point

and watch the sunset.

Okay.

You the boys from the city?

You find them?

Nobody registered here

under the names you radioed in.

What about the descriptions?

The guy at the desk says

a couple checked
in a little earlier.

He didn't see 'em.

His wife gave them the key

while he was having lunch.

Check the unit?

Nobody there.

Car's still here, though.

What about the trail?

Thought the best thing I
could do till you got here

was keep my eye on the car.

Stay with it.

Come on.

You're right. It's beautiful.

Come here, love.

No. Not yet. Dean?

What?

I have a confession to make.

Oh, really?

I talked to Lindsay Campbell.

Yeah, I know.

You didn't have
to do that, Kate.

You didn't have
to lie to me either.

I would have understood.

I understood the
moment I saw her.

She's young and
wealthy and beautiful

and all the things a
man like you really wants.

All the things I'm not.

How could you understand?

I mean, what do you
really know about me, Kate?

I know you brought
me up here to kill me.

You believe that
and you still came?

I had to.

Am I wrong?

You know, Kate,

when you first started
to work at that bank,

I was still in high school

fighting for tips at
the country club.

Parking cars,
carrying golf bags,

cleaning out the locker rooms.

Watching the beautiful
people glide in and out

like they owned the world.

And you know what? They did.

At least the world I
wanted to belong to.

Do you have any understanding
of what I'm trying to say?

No.

No, none at all.

All you ever wanted
was a man, right?

Just a man, any man.

You used me.

You used me to find out

when the bank was
the most vulnerable.

And it worked, didn't it?

Because you knew
I was vulnerable.

I've always been curious, Kate.

Did you ever think
I could love you?

I mean, didn't it
ever occur to you

that you and I don't even
breathe the same air?

It doesn't matter.

I do want you to
know that I didn't plan

for any of this to happen.

For you to die, I mean.

Come on, Kate.

I loved you very much
and you betrayed me.

I loved you so much.

Kate.

But you've never suffered.

You have never suffered
the way you made me suffer.

You've never suffered the
way you made me suffer.

And you're evil,
Dean. You're evil!

Ah.

Come on, take him.

Help!

Dean! Please help!

Your choice.

Are you all right?

I don't know.

I-I guess I won't know
for a very long time.

Thank you. Thank you.

Hey, Mike, how's it going?

Give me a paper. Here you are.

No game yesterday. I know that.

What do you think, I
only read the box scores?

What is this with the,
uh, Financial section?

Here we go, over the counter.

What's over the counter?

National Wheel and Brake.

Now, wait a minute.

Is that that stock
Knox turned you on to?

Uh-huh. Oh, here
it is. Now, let's see.

Why, that no good,
chiseling, lousy bum.

Did you put your
savings into it?

No, I didn't put
my savings into it.

But for the first
time in his life,

he was telling the truth.

Up 21 points.

Serves you right.

Serves me right?

What do you mean,
serves me right?

Do you know what it
means, up 21 points?

Do you know what a fella
could do with that kind of dough?

Up 21 points!
