From Hollywood. It's time now for
Edmund O'Brien as Johnny Dollar. I'll harper

2
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,359
at Corinthian. Johnny, I got
a case here you won't like, but

3
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,480
the commission will be good if we
beat it. How big is the policy?

4
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,480
Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars?
But you'll have to apply to Hong

5
00:00:18,559 --> 00:00:21,519
Kong. Hey, you still haven't
scared me? Al? Is there something

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:26,960
you're leading out? Yeah? The
policy holder Transpacific Import Export Company. We've

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:31,719
had trouble with them before, remember, Yeah, I send flowers to the

8
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,640
widow. You want to take a
crack at it? No, but I

9
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:47,079
will. Edmund O'Brien, in another
transcribed adventure, The Man with the Action

00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:53,320
Packed Expense Account America's Fabulous Freelance Insurance
Investigators, Yours truly, Johnny Dollar.

11
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:08,799
Expense account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny
Dollar, two Home Office, Corinthian Liability

12
00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:12,640
and Risk, Hartford, Connecticut.
The following is an accounting of my expenditure

13
00:01:12,719 --> 00:01:21,719
during investigation of the Trans Pacific Import
Export Company South China Branch expense account.

14
00:01:21,719 --> 00:01:26,280
Einem won twelve hundred dollars fair and
incidental expenses between Hartford and Hong Kong,

15
00:01:32,719 --> 00:01:34,920
I realized three minutes after I got
off the plane that there is no longer

16
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:41,439
any simplicity in Hong Kong. To
fill the smallest one is a complicated problem.

17
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,319
There is a shortage of transportation,
food, water, and space.

18
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,680
Both the island and the city of
Kowloon on the mainland have been swamped by

19
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,840
the flood of millions of refugees moving
out of the interior. I fought my

20
00:01:53,879 --> 00:01:57,799
way through the jam streets under the
offices of the American counsil. Oh.

21
00:01:57,879 --> 00:02:04,280
Yes, true, life is very
difficult here. Where are they all going?

22
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,800
Many of them don't know? Where
is it affording to go? Well?

23
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:12,840
What do they do? How do
they stay alive? Many of them

24
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:16,759
don't. Yes, the gentleman from
the States, Oh, yes, sir,

25
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:22,960
mister Dallar, Yes, sir mister
Grover is ready to speak with you.

26
00:02:23,159 --> 00:02:30,960
Thank you as Connecticut. Eh it
sounds for it. I suppose it

27
00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:37,599
were. It's a pleasure. Miss
He'll sure it's a destigation. Eh,

28
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:40,039
it's all. I don't suppose my
problem will seem very important now here.

29
00:02:40,479 --> 00:02:44,800
Yeah, I was thinking very same
thing. It's it's always the case.

30
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,199
On the fringe of war, very
few individual problems are important, nor are

31
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,960
the individuals themselves. I trust you
will keep that in mind while you are

32
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,159
here. And now what is your
errand the Transpacific Import Export Company? Oh

33
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,120
yes, yes, will Meadows firm
on the mainland destroyed by fire last month

34
00:03:01,199 --> 00:03:06,080
one dred percent according to the claim
he sent the company that hired me two

35
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:09,319
hundred thousand dollars. Do you know
this William Meadows. I've met him at

36
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:14,080
the American Club now and again.
The company isn't satisfied with the report on

37
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,319
the cause of that fire. It
was blamed on vandalism. Vandalism has become

38
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:23,840
quite a popular pastime across in Kolon
especially. I take it you suspect fraud

39
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,919
on Transpacific had a branch in Shanghai. When the war closed in on them.

40
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,319
Up there, the same thing happened. They came out far better by

41
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:35,000
collecting on the insurance than they would
have by standing the expense of liquidating.

42
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,639
I suppose coincidence won't quite do,
Willard, What do you want from this

43
00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:45,080
office dollar? I'd appreciate some phone
calls or letters that would get me some

44
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,080
support from the fire brigade and the
police. So we're back to the individual

45
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:51,719
problem. Yeah, but I'll do
the best I care. Thank you,

46
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,000
mister Govin. I won't take up
any more of your time. Let me

47
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,400
know how you make out. Oh
had you found a place to stay?

48
00:03:58,719 --> 00:04:00,639
No? Not Janet? Well don't
father? Were the accidental places? They're

49
00:04:00,719 --> 00:04:05,039
jammed? Would speak with my receptionist, mister Vadrus. Yeah, I saw

50
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:11,039
on the way in a vadress.
I thought she was Chinese half her father's

51
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,439
Portuguese. Here's accommodations about halfway up
the peak on Singuang. Charming girl,

52
00:04:15,759 --> 00:04:19,519
nice people. Oh good, I'll
ask and thanks again. Oh dollar,

53
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:25,560
Just a matter of interest, the
case in Shanghai. You say the insurance

54
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,480
company was forced to meet the claim
there, that's right. The investigator Asanova

55
00:04:29,639 --> 00:04:32,360
was killed before he could build a
case. They blamed his death on more

56
00:04:32,399 --> 00:04:38,519
conditions too, said he was robbed
a knife by starving refugees. Nobody had

57
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:48,439
time to dig up the truth.
Sing Wang is a street of steps that

58
00:04:48,519 --> 00:04:53,800
climbed from the waterfront to the plush
European residences on top of Victoria Peak.

59
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,519
My accommodations were a room that looked
out on a narry an iron bed,

60
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,240
a chair, and a pitcher of
water on a bamboo table. There were

61
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,600
no other non orientals in the building, but I seem to be the only

62
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:13,000
one that noticed it. I was
suffering from a sort of claustrophobia and loneliness

63
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,240
that night, and at first I
was glad to learn it was she who

64
00:05:16,319 --> 00:05:21,920
knocked at my door. If you
were comfortable, Oh, thank you,

65
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:29,319
I am now, this is fine. I don't have much to offer you,

66
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:38,000
SIGRed Scotch, No, thank you. I came because I am curious.

67
00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:41,360
I'm in Hong Kong on business.
And that's what you mean. It's

68
00:05:41,399 --> 00:05:46,279
better kept confidential right now? Is
it danger in this business? Why do

69
00:05:46,319 --> 00:05:49,199
you ask that? Because you were
followed here? You are being watched,

70
00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:54,319
you know. Oh, I know
this street. I've seen this meant he

71
00:05:54,399 --> 00:05:58,360
has not been here before. Where
is it? Maybe you can see him

72
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,240
from a window. Wait a minute, you tell me where he is.

73
00:06:01,399 --> 00:06:06,000
I'll look shop on the other side. The box is pile near the door.

74
00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:15,399
Well, thanks for telling me about
Do you know who he is?

75
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,360
No, I didn't think anybody knew
I was in town. Let's talk about

76
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:29,000
something else. What is that?
Music is a love song. There's about

77
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,639
two lonely people who meet near a
river. Oh, in America, they're

78
00:06:33,639 --> 00:06:40,360
different. Yes, I know I
liked him. You know many Americans.

79
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:45,759
Yes, I want to marry one. He's a lucky American. Oh no,

80
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,959
I don't mean there's only one.
I want to marry an American who

81
00:06:48,959 --> 00:06:55,319
would take me from China. There's
no other way. You hate it that

82
00:06:55,519 --> 00:06:59,920
much, there's nothing else to do. But he did. There's no good,

83
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,480
always trouble. Chinese are very patient
people, but I am not all

84
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:10,879
Chinese. I can't make myself be
patient any longer. I want to go.

85
00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:17,079
What about your Portuguese people? They
are gone. You think I am

86
00:07:17,079 --> 00:07:21,399
bad to be this way? Only
three I didn't say that. I am

87
00:07:21,439 --> 00:07:29,839
not bad. I hope you find
your American newsvaders. You want need to

88
00:07:29,879 --> 00:07:34,680
go now. I think you're better. I'll see you tomorrow. Yes,

89
00:07:35,639 --> 00:07:47,279
good night. Three things interfered would
sleep that night A watcher who is still

90
00:07:47,319 --> 00:07:51,000
at the station across the street when
I turned out my life, the fleeting

91
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,800
in the eyes of the girl,
and the smells and sounds that drifted into

92
00:07:55,839 --> 00:08:00,319
me from the restless, crowded city. There was four am before I dropped

93
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,079
off, and at ten I was
walking up the gravel drive that led to

94
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,480
the residence of mister William Meadow.
The watcher had changed, but I was

95
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:26,240
still being followed. Oh ya saw
mister Meadow at home. Oh your saw,

96
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,079
you will give them. My name
is Dollar, mister Meadow. I'm

97
00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:33,480
from Corinthian Liability, Hartford office.
Well, so they said, another snoop.

98
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:39,480
Let the man limb, you'll come
in. What did you say?

99
00:08:39,519 --> 00:08:43,440
Your name was Dolla. What's the
matter with that company? Anyway? This

100
00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:48,039
doesn't have to be unpleasantness to They
sit back there in Hartford with nothing to

101
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,080
worry about but Sunday's golf game.
They don't know anything about the conditions we're

102
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,480
working in there. They do know
that your fire here pretty much follows the

103
00:08:54,519 --> 00:08:58,320
pattern of the one in Shanghai.
Of course it does. The conditions are

104
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:05,399
the same, including the starming refugees
who killed and robbed the investigator. Careless

105
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,519
people are dying here every day.
And I'll say what you have to say

106
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,080
to me and get out of here. Well, it's very little. I

107
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,399
came here to get my reaction to
you. I have you jumped to the

108
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,799
conclusion you were under suspicion before I
got through the door. You're on the

109
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,639
defensive, so you must have a
reason to be and more important, you

110
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,639
are having me followed, So you
must be afraid of me. Have your

111
00:09:22,759 --> 00:09:26,799
dreams dollar but out of someplace else. I get out of here, go

112
00:09:26,919 --> 00:09:37,919
Snoop through the ashes. They're cold
expensing gun item too, approximately four dollars

113
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,120
American taxi and rich show affairs.
Legwork is strenuous enough in a familiar city

114
00:09:41,159 --> 00:09:45,799
and Hong Kong. It took me
the whole afternoon to locate three people who

115
00:09:45,799 --> 00:09:48,519
had worked in the office of the
Trans Pacific Company. The first was Franklin

116
00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:54,200
Abatt, accountant. Please find enclosed
transcript of his statement signed before witnesses.

117
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:58,279
Well, I didn't give a thought
to how it's starting to tell you the

118
00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:01,960
truth. I just went to work
on there. It was ashes. Had

119
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,240
they made any preparations? They're going
out of business? No. How about

120
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,080
the rest of the firms in that
section, it was all closing. We

121
00:10:07,159 --> 00:10:11,879
might just as well have There wasn't
no tried. But still they hadn't moved

122
00:10:11,919 --> 00:10:15,960
any of their merchandise. That's right. The storehouse was full as well as

123
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,159
your books were destroyed to Oh yes, sir, everything went. It must

124
00:10:18,159 --> 00:10:22,080
have been a vicious place. How
about the other companies they them burned out.

125
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:28,879
No, huh, I hadn't thought
of that. The other storehouse is

126
00:10:28,879 --> 00:10:33,519
over there, the empty ones.
There wasn't no vandals burning them. The

127
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:41,039
people broke in and lived in them
separately. The other enclosed statements aren't very

128
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,240
strong evidence either, the night watchman
who was discharged just before the night of

129
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,200
the fire and the clerk who had
seen William Meadow burning a confidential memo from

130
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,799
Transpacific's head office in San Francisco.
But with the three together in my hand,

131
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,519
I could begin to see a case
building against them. I was dog

132
00:10:58,639 --> 00:11:01,480
tired that night when I climbed the
steps of my Sing Wong Street to my

133
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:18,399
hotel. What are you doing in
here? Nothing wrong? I came to

134
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:24,120
wait for you. Why because I
am curious, Because I thought of you

135
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:30,840
today. I wondered where you weren't
what you thought? Because I was so

136
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,759
bold last night. I've been busy. You didn't think. Yes, I

137
00:11:35,799 --> 00:11:48,679
thought she still watching a different one, but still watching? Are you writing?

138
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,360
I don't know. It's nerve wracking. I haven't followed all day.

139
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:01,960
Are you a criminal? Mm hmm, no, but you're right, I'm

140
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,480
acting like one because I feel uneasy
in your city, and I'm trying to

141
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,679
do a job another man tried to
do in Shanghai and got himself killed.

142
00:12:11,919 --> 00:12:15,039
Why do we not asking any more? If that hadn't happened, I could

143
00:12:15,039 --> 00:12:18,159
take you someplace tonight, I'd be
with people. I can't take a chance.

144
00:12:18,919 --> 00:12:22,360
I have to stay here in my
room and hide. Oh. I

145
00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:26,279
don't want to go anywhere are because
if I can keep myself alive, I

146
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:31,080
might be able to save two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars for a company with

147
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:37,519
fifty million and declared assets. Now, let's talk about you. I'm glad

148
00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:46,639
you waited for me. I think
the toughest part of the case was the

149
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:52,159
memory of the murder of that other
insurance investigator in Shanghai. I made every

150
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:58,039
group of Hong Kong Chinese potential assassins, and every doorway or potential andbush gathering

151
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:03,399
the actual evidence almost easy. The
next afternoon, with a supervisor from one

152
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,240
of the fire brigades, I went
to the scene of the fire on the

153
00:13:05,279 --> 00:13:11,279
outskirts of Cooloun's actually mister Dollar.
Under the present circumstances here in China,

154
00:13:13,039 --> 00:13:18,799
arson can hardly be crossed as crime
in the face of war, destruction of

155
00:13:18,919 --> 00:13:22,600
material is a common defensive maneuver.
I see what you mean, unless,

156
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:28,720
of course, criminal intent can be
proved, and even then with an American

157
00:13:28,759 --> 00:13:31,679
pyramids rock or awkward, prosecution will
be up to you people. What I

158
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,720
want is evidence that will stand up
and caught against their claim in the company.

159
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,080
How do you think the fire started
to inside the structure without a doubt

160
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:45,279
and by means of apparatus, one
would hardly find in the position of common

161
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:52,240
bandits. What timing devices? You
have proof of this? We recovered fragments

162
00:13:52,279 --> 00:13:56,120
chess or can I get photographs of
these things and sworn statements from you?

163
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,240
He is? Certainly it's a place
to be of service to you, ye

164
00:14:05,159 --> 00:14:09,600
expenser con item three approximately forty five
dollars American a case of Scotch, and

165
00:14:09,639 --> 00:14:13,480
knew of payment for the photo lab
and clerical work the supervisor and as men

166
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,799
did for me. By the time
we were through the company at least was

167
00:14:16,879 --> 00:14:22,200
protective pictures and photostats of all the
statements had been posted to the heart that

168
00:14:22,279 --> 00:14:26,799
often. It was well after nine
that night when I started to climb toward

169
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,279
the hotel, and I noticed that
for the first time since I checked in

170
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,159
I wasn't being followed. I took
it for a good omen until I got

171
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,200
there and saw the man who should
have been following me standing inside the door.

172
00:14:43,799 --> 00:14:48,320
I staid away from a medical man
I don't pot for but she's don't

173
00:14:48,399 --> 00:14:52,919
miss me. She go to him
aside. She went or my quiet,

174
00:14:52,039 --> 00:14:58,600
don quiet done? I say,
what's this? What are you doing at

175
00:14:58,679 --> 00:15:03,639
the open? Did you lose me? Crying on con police? It's been

176
00:15:03,679 --> 00:15:09,480
probably a mister Dallas. What happened? His daughter has been killed? Shop,

177
00:15:09,159 --> 00:15:26,519
she's in your room. One of
your longtime mystery favorites, Philip Marlowe,

178
00:15:26,519 --> 00:15:30,639
has now heard on CBS on Friday
nights. Philip marlow Up for Parole

179
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,799
and Songs for Sale. That's the
lineup of fine shows for Friday now on

180
00:15:33,879 --> 00:15:37,559
most of these same CBS stations.
Hear them this Friday, hear them every

181
00:15:37,559 --> 00:15:43,200
Friday on CBS The Adventures of Philip
marlow Up for Parole and Songs for Sale.

182
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,080
Now, with our star Edmund O'Brien, we return you to the second

183
00:15:48,120 --> 00:16:08,440
act of yours, truly, Johnny
Dollar. Shots were fired through the window,

184
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,240
shade was drawn. She must have
been right in front of it.

185
00:16:12,399 --> 00:16:17,480
Light behind her. How well,
did you know her just for a couple

186
00:16:17,559 --> 00:16:21,960
of days? A jealous suitor?
Perhaps she was beautiful? How come you

187
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,559
were following me? Constable orders direct
from the Inspector General. Request came from

188
00:16:26,559 --> 00:16:30,840
a mister Grover at the American Consulate, said you needed protection, and then

189
00:16:30,879 --> 00:16:33,159
you know better than to mention a
jealous suitor. She was killed because with

190
00:16:33,519 --> 00:16:37,159
only a shadow behind that shade,
they thought it was me. Where were

191
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:41,000
you when it happened? I was
waiting for you outside Brigade headquarters when I

192
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,159
heard about it. When did it
happen? No, moan, fifteen minutes

193
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:52,799
ago? Fifteen minutes. Why couldn't
we have been here? Fifteen too late

194
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,240
to bother yourself with what might have
happened. Besides, it's not the same

195
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,480
as it would have been if she
was a British name. Shut up?

196
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,279
Thank you? Take me down Herelutenano, Superintendano, whoever he is of I'll

197
00:17:03,319 --> 00:17:21,720
make my statement of him. Yes, Oh is Ukraine? Good evening,

198
00:17:21,799 --> 00:17:25,839
sir, This is the American Chapanister
Dollar. Oh yes, yes, Superintendent

199
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:27,519
Claide, pleasure to meet you,
sir, Thank you. I want to

200
00:17:27,519 --> 00:17:30,880
make a statement on the Vader's shooting. Vadru I don't think it's got to

201
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,559
you yet, sir. What with
all of them these days? Chinese girl

202
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:40,720
fathers are Portuguese. Hey, she, you're in possession of information pertaining to

203
00:17:40,759 --> 00:17:44,880
this case, mister dollar information.
I know who's guilty. I'm not sure

204
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,039
who fired the gun, but an
American national named William Meadow is guilty.

205
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,440
Mightn't stop me. She was killed
in my room. She was killed because

206
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,440
she was mistaken for me. I've
been here three days collecting evidence of attendant

207
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,759
insurance brought against Meadow, and that's
why she was killed, because they mistok

208
00:17:57,759 --> 00:18:00,440
her for me. He's got to
be a arrested tonight, good lord,

209
00:18:00,599 --> 00:18:04,480
sir. I can't trace a man
under arrest on the basis of a statement

210
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,160
like that, certainly not an American. I have proof of a motive here.

211
00:18:08,519 --> 00:18:11,240
The evidence of fraud is right there, photographs, statements. Look at

212
00:18:11,279 --> 00:18:15,279
him, beg your pardon, sir. It was a Chinese girl who was

213
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,400
killed by mistake. Rather difficult to
prove. I'm afraid she was in my

214
00:18:18,559 --> 00:18:22,039
room. My dear Chap, do
you have proof that this this Meadow fellow

215
00:18:22,079 --> 00:18:26,160
knew where you lived, which room
was yours? Oh? How do you

216
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,599
approve things like that. Unfortunately,
there are certain niceties of jurisprudence which we

217
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,720
must respect, right or wrong.
Sir, I'm convinced of your sincerity.

218
00:18:34,039 --> 00:18:38,680
I appreciated. That's good. If
you help me look up the phone number

219
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,799
of mister Grover's home, I have
to see him. Constable Crane will help

220
00:18:42,839 --> 00:18:48,480
you and see you safely there.
This why sap, mister Dollar, your

221
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,279
evidence, you've forgotten it. Well, it's too weak to make you believe

222
00:18:52,319 --> 00:19:04,200
me. I don't need it anymore. Yeah, here we are, sir.

223
00:19:04,839 --> 00:19:10,119
Will he be with mister Grover along? I don't know always did in

224
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:21,400
the John get a breath of it? Beeffully off the tize. Oh,

225
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:26,920
come in, come in. It's
dreadful news. You heard it, yes,

226
00:19:26,079 --> 00:19:33,920
yes, terrible shock. Come in
here for your brandy. Did you

227
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,839
hear about my part of it?
No? No, just just a bad

228
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,559
tale. The father was hysterical.
Oh, I tell him it's the Grover.

229
00:19:42,079 --> 00:19:47,079
This thing is driving me crazy.
It's my four she's dead here,

230
00:19:47,279 --> 00:19:49,720
my boy. We got to know
each other pretty well during those two days.

231
00:19:51,599 --> 00:19:55,440
I don't know quite how it happened. This has been a bad job

232
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,880
for the nerves with my mind on
what happened to the man in Shanghai.

233
00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:04,079
She was there and I got there
yesterday after a bad day. I didn't

234
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,240
know who was following me. I
guess I needed somebody to be with,

235
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:11,039
so she stayed for a while.
Tonight she was waiting for me in the

236
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,920
room. That's why she was killed. They thought it was me. You're

237
00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:18,920
sure of this. I'm positive,
as sure as if i'd had a camera

238
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,640
on the whole thing. But I
can't move the police. It's not enough

239
00:20:22,799 --> 00:20:25,400
that they have to be cautious.
Look, something's got to be done.

240
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,640
I can't have it left like this. I can't come into a life for

241
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:33,119
two days and be responsible for her
death and then see nothing done. I'm

242
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,240
afraid it's too late to accomplish anything. Tonight in the morning, when I

243
00:20:36,279 --> 00:20:37,480
was thinking, look clear, stop
it, stop it, will you?

244
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,400
You're not going to tell me to
go back to that room. I'm sorry,

245
00:20:41,559 --> 00:20:47,119
you see I at least am muddled. Of course you can stay here.

246
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,200
Oh I didn't mean that. I
I'd rather try to think this thing

247
00:20:49,279 --> 00:20:53,559
out by myself. How can I
get rid of that constable? I'm liable

248
00:20:53,559 --> 00:20:56,920
to kill him as I hear anymore
of his cheery words, A simply where

249
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:03,000
he's going place just wore. I'll
let you out by the rear door.

250
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,680
If you want to rest, please
come back here all right, I will,

251
00:21:07,759 --> 00:21:12,559
and please be careful. It's not
too wise to be on the streets

252
00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:22,359
at night anymore. It's a picture
i'll never walk out of my mind,

253
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,799
the girl who had wanted to leave
China, lying with her head on one

254
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:32,240
arm, as though she were asleep. I don't think I knew I would

255
00:21:32,279 --> 00:21:36,200
when I left Drover, but I
did go back to the hotel and enter

256
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,960
the room. Her body was gone, but there were chalk marks on the

257
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,200
floor where she lay. I transferred
an automatic from my luggage to a coat

258
00:21:45,200 --> 00:22:11,559
pocket, and I walked some more. Meadow, who is the dollar?

259
00:22:11,599 --> 00:22:19,400
I was here yesterday? Let me
in? You wait? Oh hello,

260
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:25,880
miss Metal, you're not here?
Not sure you wait? He's not here,

261
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,599
Miss He's not there here, Meadow, not here? You come back?

262
00:22:32,079 --> 00:22:34,279
Where is he? He said?
He come back two three days.

263
00:22:34,279 --> 00:22:37,319
I gotta find him. If you
know where he is, tell me,

264
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,039
oh, no, he come back. Listen. I don't want to hurt

265
00:22:40,079 --> 00:22:42,960
you, you understand, do not? I will hurt if I don't find

266
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:51,079
out where he is. It's important
all he go coloon and you go with

267
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,759
me and he's not there? Then
I heard her. I've got to find

268
00:22:55,839 --> 00:23:00,960
him. Where is he? All
right? I tell you Repulse Obey what

269
00:23:03,079 --> 00:23:07,359
Repulse Bay? Repulse Bay on the
other side of the island, where the

270
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:12,000
big hotel is. I can call
there on the telephone. Is he at

271
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:18,160
the hotel or no? He has
the cottage? Or numbers Haven or last

272
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:22,599
one? Where's the telephone? Please? You will not tell how you learn

273
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:37,720
he goes that country? Four on
cong police. I want to talk to

274
00:23:37,759 --> 00:23:45,559
the superintendent. Superintendent Kit Will you
believe a confession from William Meadow? Who's

275
00:23:45,599 --> 00:23:49,079
this mister? He's at Repulse Bay
Cottage seven. I'm going after him.

276
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,240
They want that confession. Have some
men there outside in an hour and quiet

277
00:23:53,319 --> 00:24:03,000
until it's finished. A taxi got
me there in forty minutes. When I

278
00:24:03,079 --> 00:24:04,960
was a few yards in front of
his cottage when the police cars slid without

279
00:24:06,039 --> 00:24:22,079
lights and cut moments Meadow Meadow,
who is it? It's Dollar? Who

280
00:24:22,599 --> 00:24:26,960
are you Dollar? Is that hard
to believe? That was somebody else in

281
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,640
the hotel room. I want you
to go back into town with me.

282
00:24:32,640 --> 00:25:11,160
Will you come out or shall I
come in Meadow Meadow. I don't suppose

283
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:17,240
it could be called hewing to the
niceties of jurisprudence. Since Meadow was dead,

284
00:25:17,319 --> 00:25:21,599
he could neither speak nor write his
confession. But there were two police

285
00:25:21,599 --> 00:25:25,839
car loads of expert witnesses who took
the fact that he had opened fire as

286
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,799
an acceptable admission of guilt. The
same thing cleared me legally on the grounds

287
00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:33,359
of self defense. I had hoped
that it would help clear my mind,

288
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:38,359
but it hasn't. Nothing good came
out of the assignment, except saving your

289
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:44,400
company some money that it didn't know
it had spends. Account Item four same

290
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:49,559
as Item one. Spenser count total
three five hundred and forty four dollars.

00:27:15,039 --> 00:27:19,599
CBS brings you a top Hollywood star
in a new radio play on the Hollywood

300
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:25,839
Theater. Comedy and melodrama, fantasy
and mystery. The dramatic fair on the

301
00:27:25,839 --> 00:27:30,160
Hollywood Theater is highly varied and always
good entertainment. Stay tuned now for the

302
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:55,279
Hollywood Theater which follows over most of
these same CBS stations. It's a concrete

303
00:27:55,440 --> 00:28:00,200
fact, the possible need for blood
for our national forces is. It's no

304
00:28:00,319 --> 00:28:04,480
longer a vague, shadowy possibility,
says General George C. Marshall. The

305
00:28:04,559 --> 00:28:10,880
United States government has requested that the
Red Cross again become the official agency for

306
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:17,680
collecting blood for the armed forces when
and wherever needed. Doctor Eugene Adishek,

307
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:22,559
medical director of the Los Angeles Regional
Blood Service, voices the plea of the

308
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:27,920
civilian doctor when he says increasing quantities
of blood must be made available for doctors

309
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:34,039
to use in civilian practice. Red
Cross can handle collection, processing, and

310
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:41,559
distribution of blood, but you control
the source. So call your Red Cross

311
00:28:41,599 --> 00:28:45,480
and make a date to give a
pint of blood. Make a date to

312
00:28:45,599 --> 00:29:12,359
save a life. This is CBS
where Philip Marlowe takes the case every Friday

313
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:34,519
night. The Columbia Broadcasting System
