He comes to a record shop pauses in front and enters This Jimmy Warren's place. Uh-huh. I'd like to see him I'm an old friend. He's sleeping. Oh Well, if you tell me where he lives, I'll go over living back We I'm his wife. Oh Well, then would you please go back and wake him? Did you want some records? I want to see Jimmy Pardon me. I guess the door stuck wait. It isn't stuck. I Locked it for I wanted some privacy Annie, I think you ought to go up Roy hello Jimmy good to see you again. Why don't you get out? Day before yesterday better turn that thing off Jimmy who is this he was in jail with me Roy, I thought you were in for good. I didn't leave with the warden's best wishes. You busted out. Yeah, that was a general idea Why'd you come here to see you? Well, if you want money, you know What do you want? I'd like to stay here for a while. Roy. We got three small rooms and back It's hardly enough for us. Let him stay You can use the storeroom take him back there The following day at the local Red Cross blood bank FBI special agent Jim Taylor is drinking a cup of coffee after having made his donation When police detective dick Hopkins comes into the small anti room Oh hi dick. Oh, hello, Jim. It's caught empty. Yeah Yeah How about a little coffee? It's well, I get it. Yeah, thanks Running into you saves me a trip to your office. What would you want there? We might be on a case together, huh? The railroad police found a freight car in the yards this morning with a man's body His outer garments have been removed and in the corner of the car. They found a prison uniform Turned out to belong to somebody named Roy Carter Carter Escaped two days ago from Sheridan. Hmm. How would the FBI get in on I think you had a detainer on him What for bank robbery? local No, he's never worked this part of the state so far as we know Maybe you're just passing through. I don't think so Why not dick one of the prisoners that Sheridan told the warden that Carter intended visiting an ex-inmate who lived here Any idea who that was no About This torn piece of paper was found in the box car says market Street No address no Probably on the other half we looked for that no trace of it Well, I'll get a copy of Carter's writing have the lab checked to see if he wrote this fine All of you've been in touch with the prison. I wired him as soon as we identified the uniform I asked the warden to send along a list of prisoners from this area Who'd been released since Carter got to Sheridan go ahead and I'll find out about that detainer as soon as I get back to the office Morning, Mrs. Warren. What are you doing out here? Board sitting back there alone suppose somebody sees you think I'm a customer You're still taking a chance. I Like to take chances. What's in the container coffee once I'm yeah, I'll get your cup Where's Jimmy you went out? You sure don't like the idea might be in here much No Just black Yeah Thanks Good coffee Jimmy always says it's too strong. I got an idea that a lot of things is too strong for Jimmy How'd you two ever get together? I Met him right after he got out and put him on the straight and narrow. I Had nothing to do with it. Yeah, and what's with this store? An uncle died and left it to him. Do you have to keep it? He wanted to keep it. How about you? I Do what he says Who are you kidding? When I came in here, I found out who was in charge You want me to tell you what I think Do you what I Think you're in this because nothing better came along. That's not true. Then why'd you want me to stay here? Look, I'll tell you why It's because I happen to be what you're waiting for Is that right? Getting back Never mind just Jimmy Why are you shouldn't be out here? I asked him out for some coffee. Oh Well, I got good news for you Roy. What I ran into a friend of mine Joe Marshall He's got a farm upstate and I told him about you He said you could stay with him as long as you want. That's real nice of you Jimmy But I don't like farms. You can't keep on here cops will nail you sure Jimmy Roy has no money No, was it gonna be Joe Marshall's guests? He can work up there. That'll pay for his keep Don't just arrange Danny Joe's driving up to the farm. You'll meet Roy at the corner of Broadway and Maine at 9 o'clock tonight The essence of any investigation is speed Immediately upon his return to the FBI field office special agent Taylor checked the files He also sent the torn slip of paper bearing the words market street to the crime laboratory Where it was checked against a known sample of Roy Carter's handwriting Wanted notices were run off featuring Carter's picture and fingerprints Late that same afternoon the file room called agent Taylor Roy Carter was wanted by your FBI Upon receiving that message and a lab report on the handwriting agent Taylor hurried to police headquarters to see detective Hopkins Dick, you were right about that detainer. Did you get a report from the lab? Yes, Carter scribbled the words market street on that slip of paper Oh, did you get that list of ex inmates at Sheridan? Yeah, none of them has a market street address How many of them are from around here? Approximately 200 somewhere in other jails and a fewer dad then we get a breakdown of it. I'm having one made up now. Good Detective Hopkins. Mr. Hopkins. I was told to talk to you. Who was this? Never mind that Are you looking for Roy Carter? Yes You'll be at the corner of Broadway in Maine at nine o'clock tonight Hello Hello Jim that was a tip on Carter. He's supposed to be at Broadway in Maine at nine tonight You ready?

No Like to say goodbye to her she'll be here before you go Tell me about this Joe Marshall It's real nice guy. Do you know I'm hot? No, I just told him you weren't feeling good and needed a change I'm back here No, I've been waiting to say goodbye to you. I'm glad you did save your trip. What do you mean? I called Joe Marshall's house the guy I'm going away with yeah, what did you do that for? Just checking up. I talked to his wife. What do you think? He's in, California He can't be his wife said she talked to him an hour ago in Sacramento, but I just saw him He's lying Roy. He probably has the cops there waiting to pick you up. Now. Why would I do that? That's a good question Let's try and figure an answer, huh? Look Roy. I'll go to Broadway in Maine with you if it's a frame that wouldn't do me Much good. It's not a frame and suppose I call Marshall's house again, but Roy talked to his wife That's a good idea Look, aren't you gonna take my word for it? No Any Never mind it was a frame, huh? It was a means of getting you out of here That was a sucker move Jimmy all I got to do is And the frame is off In just a few moments we'll get back to tonight's case from the official files of the FBI But right now let's consider the question of family security I want you to meet mr. And mrs. James Hudson a couple with a problem that nearly all fathers and mothers have to face up to Eventually good evening. Good evening mr. Hudson I understand you're worried about how your family would get along if something happened to you Well, that's right. Mr. Keating mrs. Hudson would get social security But 112 dollars a month wouldn't go far with three youngsters to bring up No, it certainly isn't enough to take care of us if jim passed on well and How much more do you think you'd need? I guess it would take quite some time to figure that out No, mrs. Hudson all you need is this fact-finding chart for fathers and mothers Published by the equitable life insurance society now here Let me show you how this fact-finding chart works It's been designed by the equitable society to help you figure out exactly what income your family would need If your husband died suddenly look It guides you every step of the way with easy to understand pictures Every major item of living expense is included so you can get an answer you can rely on Jim we really need this chart. How much does it cost mr. Keating? Not a cent. It's free Your equitable society representative will be glad to give you a copy and after you filled it in He'll be glad to show you how easy it is to turn your social security into full security full security Oh, that's what we need but that's expensive on the contrary With the big head start you already have from social security plus whatever insurance you now own You may need only a very small additional amount of insurance to give you full security So friends, why not get in touch with your equitable society representative soon? Ask him for your free copy of equitable society's fact-finding chart for fathers and mothers That's e q u i t a b le the equitable life assurance society of the united states And now back to the fbi file the unwilling host It is an axiom among law enforcement officers that people get the kind of local police protection they deserve Either good or bad according to the interest they show That point is of vital importance to your fbi and to you Because no agency even one functioning as smoothly and efficiently as the federal bureau of investigation is self-sufficient Tonight's case is an example of the type of cooperation necessary between officers who represent a city county or state and your fbi That cooperation can exist in your community Only if you have an adequate local police force And as a citizen Part of your job is to see that such an organization is protecting you The battlefront against crime is wide Wide enough to cover every corner of the united states Wide enough so that a weakness in any part of the line Will invite defeat Invite an even greater crime wave in the future Tonight's fbi file continues in a sedan on the corner of broadway and main Special agent jim taylor and detective dick huptons are waiting for roi carter Dick it's 10 30. Yeah looks like the tip was bad. I guess um Shall we move? Okay Maybe this was somebody's idea of a joke. I doubt it My feeling is somebody tried to set carter up for us and it didn't work. Oh Well, that's big casino The gym don't turn here. Huh? That list ought to be ready now. Let's go back to headquarters. Okay You seen any part of it? Uh-huh Out of the first 50 names. There were seven ex-inmates not back in jail dead or moved out of town Well, maybe we won't have too many to question Well, if the others call down the same way, there'll be maybe 30 or 35 I know it'll be ready by morning for sure. Yeah, well, it's too late to start contacting people tonight Let's meet for breakfast and get on it then How is he? Well, he's conscious again. Oh good For a while. I was scared about what? That you might have killed him. Oh, I'm sure he'd appreciate that I was only thinking about the police Is it safe to leave Malone in there? I got him tied up Well, I I better start packing, huh? What for? Are we getting out of here? I think we better talk about that What do you mean? Well taking care of jimmy doesn't mean the cops have stopped looking for me That's why you can't stay here. That's right But I better make my move alone And leave me here. I'm afraid so Look, I just saved you from walking into that trap. I know I can't stay here. Honey. I'll be moving fast hitching rides freight cars. Yeah, you have to go that way I gotta go that way. I got no dough Is that the reason you're not taking me? That's a good reason, ain't it? I got a better one for me going along Like what? $5,000 What are you talking about? I can get $5,000. Does that change your mind? Where would you get $5,000? From Jimmy's account. Is it a joint account? No checking. And he'd have to sign a check. That's right I think you could persuade him to do it The following morning Detective Hopkins had a list ready. It contained 34 names These were ex-inmates of the prison from which Roy Carter had escaped Ex-inmates who still lived in that city Now a further breakdown on the 34 names was done They were divided into those living on the north side and those on the south Detective Hopkins and Agent Taylor each took half the city as their assignments And started the door-to-door search for Roy Carter Carter 9 Come in Dick Jim, how are you doing? No good so far I've got five more people to check Where are you? You know if this list doesn't work we'd better give this story to the papers Okay I'll talk to you later Huh?
