Back in nineteen forty eight, the Turkish government embarked in a 23 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,960 vast road building project. A nine year program was laid out in agreement made 24 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,400 with our government, unfinancially sure.

Get over to eastern Turkey and find out who's throwing a monkey wrench 49 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:08,439 into a road building program or helping to finance and supervise. It's late Thursday 50 00:05:08,519 --> 00:05:12,120 afternoon on my plane lands at the airport and see with some three hundred miles 51 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,399 east of Bankor. I hop aboard a train and ride deeper into the mountains. 52 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,600 It's well after dark when I jump off at a small whistle stop. 53 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:24,439 The station is deserted, almost in the dim light. At the far end 54 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,399 of the platform, I see a park jeep, and leaning against the front 55 00:05:27,439 --> 00:05:30,560 fender is a small, slender gent dressed in khaki and field jacket. Sorry 56 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,079 you've been waiting long, Buster, but I hey, how are you mister 57 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:39,079 Mitchell. Well surprised right now. I didn't expect a woman to meet you. 58 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,879 My name is Martha margut A hack Well. Hello, mister Bercy could 59 00:05:42,879 --> 00:05:46,079 not come to meet you. He sent me instead. Just throw usucase me 60 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:58,480 back there, okay, all right, my droller. You're looking at me 61 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,720 curiously, mister Mitchell. Sorry your puzzle. What is a woman doing out 62 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,639 in this wild, desolate country. I am an engineer. You a student 63 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,480 really, from the University of Anchoror. I see getting some experience in the 64 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,319 field. Eh, Yes, I understand you've run into some difficulties with regard 65 00:06:14,399 --> 00:06:16,600 to the road. It was to be expected. We are building a road 66 00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:20,199 through country where only pack animals have traveled before, and there have been some 67 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,759 accidents, they tell me. Yes, Perhaps that is why you have joined 68 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,800 us. Mister Mitchell. You are perhaps what they call a troubleshooter. You 69 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,639 might call it that, or I might call it a government agent. What 70 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,560 gave you that idea? Just a guess. I knew your government would send 71 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,199 someone to investigate before long, you see, mister Mitchell, I too do 72 00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:46,000 not believe all these accidents have been just accidents. Oh, mister Bush is 73 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,439 of the same opinion, as is mister Babers. He's one of your American 74 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,680 advisers. Yeah, there are two of them. How does Harold Kevin feel 75 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:57,279 about the accidents? Isn't that the other one's name? Yes, Kevin thinks 76 00:06:57,319 --> 00:07:00,680 they are simply accidents. How long has he been with outfit? Three months? 77 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,120 By a strange coincidence, the accidents began happening shortly after he arrived. 78 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:10,759 I see anything else, Yes, I'll tell you something else, mister Mitchell, 79 00:07:11,399 --> 00:07:14,319 only because I know you would find out about that too sooner or later. 80 00:07:15,439 --> 00:07:28,399 Harold Kevin and I were secretly married in Anchor last year. Well after 81 00:07:28,439 --> 00:07:31,040 that, the conversation drops to zero. We ride in silence for the next 82 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,800 hour, grinding, bouncing over the road, climbing higher and higher into the 83 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:40,000 mountains. Finally, Margo wheels the deep window and clearing a shelf dug into 84 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,120 the side of the hill where some other trucks are parked. We walked to 85 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,079 the edge of the canyon and looked down. A dozen or more floodlights illuminate 86 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,759 the work area below, tents, tool sheds, bulldozers and other equipment, 87 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:55,040 and rising out of the canyon floor are huge pillars of concrete and steel. 88 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,120 The night shift has been abandoned, lack of material and equipment. What's being 89 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,399 done about it? Train is on his way from Seabas, now loaded with 90 00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:05,480 more than enough material for us to resume a full schedule. More trucks, 91 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,639 tractors, cranes, spur parts and so on. Good, well, let's 92 00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:11,160 get down there. We go it on foot from here, Yes, down 93 00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:18,000 this path, come along. This is the farthest point your road has reached. 94 00:08:18,079 --> 00:08:22,160 Yes, just a moment, miss Mitchell. Yeah, sounds like, 95 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,639 hey, look out, get back. I reach out to pull Margot off 96 00:08:26,639 --> 00:08:33,759 the trailers. The first of the huge boulders roars past us. Thank you, 97 00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:37,919 thank you? Mister Okay, yes, I'm all right brother that it's 98 00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:43,360 a little too close for comfort. Another shall we say accident? Yeah, 99 00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:52,759 ear marked for me. Looks like the noise is attracted the camp. Yes, 100 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,679 who is that? Okay, who's that? Abers? One of the 101 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:03,600 American advisors. The man with him is mister Vershit coming along. Hey you 102 00:09:01,159 --> 00:09:05,919 start, No, mister Habers, we did not. You are not harmed, 103 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,320 my dear, not harmed. This is mister Mitchell, mister Bercier, 104 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,559 misters mister Berscher. How do you do, mister Mitchell. Abers, glad 105 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,559 to have you with us, Margat. He's not mister Kevin with you? 106 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,279 Why? No, I had not seen him for some time, mister Abers. 107 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,559 Have you seen him? No, not for a couple of hours, 108 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,360 Margaret. We better see what damage those bowlers caused. Of course, good 109 00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:26,639 not, mister Mitchell. Right, there's anything I could do to help you 110 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:35,840 get settled, but you'll let me know. Sure those rocks, mister Mitchell. 111 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,440 No exagere telling me. Look, mister Bercier, just who knows why 112 00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:43,279 I'm here? No one but myself. The others think you are an engineering 113 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:48,240 consultant, Margat, doesn't She had me spotted as a government agent right off 114 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,639 the bat, Yes, she said. The others could make a guess too. 115 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,279 Yes, I suppose about this man named Kevin, I find engineered. 116 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,600 Mister Mitchell. What's all this done to your schedule? Here? We have 117 00:09:58,759 --> 00:10:01,000 some two weeks behind still, we have a chance to catch up, and 118 00:10:01,039 --> 00:10:05,919 we will, mister Mitchell. Once the equipment and the material arrived. They 119 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,320 train, huh, yes, it will be here early in the morning. 120 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,440 That train means everything to us. We can return to our work, step 121 00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:16,639 up the schedule, finish the road before the rains come t the ground suddenly 122 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,960 jumps up on earth bush and I find ourselves standing in a shower of rocks 123 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,320 and debris, all of it coming from the rem in the canyon. Overhead. 124 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,080 Brusher strings in the wax and starts up the path. I know he's 125 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,759 headed for the tunnel, and I'm right behind him. We're halfway up the 126 00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:31,360 canyon wall when I spot someone crawling among the boulders. I let Busha go 127 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,399 ahead, duck off the path and circle around, and I reach out and 128 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:43,080 grab all the drop the knife, drop it, okay, I drop on 129 00:10:43,159 --> 00:10:48,200 your feet, Mitchell, bitche over here, Busha is what happens to us? 130 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,159 Caught our friend air creeping along the path way. This is one of 131 00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:54,480 the workers. His name is Dapor from Afghanistan. What happened up there with 132 00:10:54,639 --> 00:10:56,919 the tunnel? Someone set off a charge of dynamize. This gent probably look 133 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,279 it dives into Persia, who snatching to me. As I reach out the 134 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,559 grab, I missed both person and I pulled back off the path and slide 135 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:11,039 away down the side of the canyon. Mitchell, Mitchell, are you all 136 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,519 right? Yeah? I guess so that was a neat block he threw on 137 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,279 you versia and the neader one you put on me. I'm sorry he threw 138 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,960 me off balance. Yeah, and he's sign of our friend. No, 139 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,360 I did not see him. He's got to be up there among the boulders 140 00:11:22,399 --> 00:11:35,960 somewhere. You take that side and I'll go up this way. I spend 141 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,159 the next ten minutes poking around the boulders along the canyon wall, but there's 142 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,480 no sign of Daubpoor. I finally go back down to the canyon floor and 143 00:11:41,759 --> 00:11:45,720 find a group of workers getting ready to start up the path to the tunnel. 144 00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:48,320 In their lead is a tall, lanky American who should be the other 145 00:11:48,399 --> 00:11:52,000 engineer, Kevin. All right, man, let's go on the double. 146 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:58,279 Hey Kevin? What? Oh? Oh hello? You must be Mitchell's right. 147 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,639 I'd like to talk to you, Kevin. Oh sure, get going, 148 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,440 man, be right up.

Came back first. You told me 151 00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:13,759 what had happened. Oh when did you see him? Just a few minutes 152 00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:18,360 ago? He's around here somewhere. I what's the matter? What are you 153 00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:22,320 staring at? Up there. That cable stretching across the canyon. Oh, 154 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,080 that just a small bucket car we used to haul stuff from one rim of 155 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,480 the canyon to the other. Yeah, the car is moving headed away from 156 00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:31,759 the tunnel. Yes, so it is. Wonder who's using it? Moving 157 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:48,080 very fast. I think we can just about make it there. It comes 158 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,440 Mitchell, But I don't see anyone in here. If my aunt is right, 159 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,120 he's in there? Who is I'll look, what's this all about? 160 00:12:56,799 --> 00:13:05,759 Well, don't see anybody getting out? Come on? Well, looks like 161 00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:09,320 my hents was right, Kevin, Who is it? Our friend app were 162 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:31,120 with a knife in his back? Steve Mitchell will continue his dangerous assignment in 163 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,399 just a moment. Do you remember that old saying A stitch in time saves 164 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,519 nine Unlike a lot of old proverbs, this one really works whether you apply 165 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,360 it to a chair with loose rungs or your health. Suppose you learned that 166 00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:46,720 a few dollars spent now could be that stitch in time that might save your 167 00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:50,480 health or the health of your family in the year to come. Sound like 168 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,759 a good proposition. Well, here's how it's done. Just buy Christmas seals 169 00:13:54,759 --> 00:13:58,320 this Christmas Yes, The money we spend for Christmas Seals now goes for case 170 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:05,000 finding, health education, medical research and rehabilitation to help fight tuberculosis during the 171 00:14:05,039 --> 00:14:09,879 next year. Christmas Seal money spent now helps protect us all from the number 172 00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:13,799 one killer among infectious diseases, TB. It's the stitch in time that saves 173 00:14:13,879 --> 00:14:18,279 human lives and health, prevents economic chaos and the broken homes which often follow 174 00:14:18,519 --> 00:14:22,440 in the wake of TB. Don't say it couldn't happen to you. It 175 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,600 can, but you take out little insurance against it. Save lives and prevent 176 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:41,120 misery your own and your neighbors when you buy Christmas Seals. Now back to 177 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:54,600 dangerous assignment and Brian don LEVIEZ Steve Mitchell. Who killed Dapho and why Mitchell? 178 00:14:54,679 --> 00:14:56,840 I don't know who at this point, but I've got a pretty good 179 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,000 idea why Kevin Oh whoever hired Dapper to blow up the tunnel killed him to 180 00:15:01,039 --> 00:15:03,559 close his mouth. He either got it while he was trying to make his 181 00:15:03,559 --> 00:15:07,320 getaway in this cable car, or else the killer dumped his body in here 182 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,919 to hide it. Either way, the killer must be the one who started 183 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,639 the cable car in motion. Yeah, h what is it this stain on 184 00:15:13,759 --> 00:15:20,039 Dupper's hand orange color. Well, let's get back down to the camp, 185 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,600 find out where everyone was a few minutes ago and this cable car started moving. 186 00:15:31,759 --> 00:15:33,759 I quite agree, Mitchell, we should all furnish an accounting of our 187 00:15:33,799 --> 00:15:37,080 whereabouts during that period of time when Dappoor was murdered. Well, he might 188 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,639 as well start with you, mister Berschall. Very well, I think I 189 00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:43,519 can help you there, Mitchell. I saw Berger climbing up the side of 190 00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:46,559 the canyon toil the top shortly before I joined you down here. Oh, 191 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,879 of course, But if you will remember, Mitchell, we were both searching 192 00:15:48,879 --> 00:15:52,320 for that poor and in the future, Kevin, I would appreciate it if 193 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,600 you would allow me to speak for myself, just trying to help out version. 194 00:15:56,879 --> 00:16:00,039 Indeed, then perhaps you can also help out by explain your own strange 195 00:16:00,039 --> 00:16:04,919 and unsatisfactory attitude up to now. What are you talking about calling these incidents 196 00:16:04,919 --> 00:16:10,120 which have occurred merely accidents when we all know better. Now just a minute, 197 00:16:10,159 --> 00:16:12,039 Les, calm down, both of you. This sort of thing won't 198 00:16:12,039 --> 00:16:15,480 get us anywhere. Abers is right, I say, let's get on with 199 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,120 the investigation. Okay, I guess we've worked our way around to you. 200 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,320 Abers. You and Margaret went up to the tunnel after the blast to investigate 201 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,360 the damage. Yeah, that's right. Were you together all the time? 202 00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:29,799 Well, matter of fact, no, we were separated for a few minutes 203 00:16:29,799 --> 00:16:32,600 as we inspected the scene of the blast. I see, okay, the 204 00:16:32,639 --> 00:16:36,279 way it adds up. Then shortly before I spotted that cable car moving across 205 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,960 the canyon up there. Burstia was somewhere near the top on one side. 206 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,279 Margaret and Abers were somewhere near the top on the other side. Now, 207 00:16:42,519 --> 00:16:47,559 which side is the cable car controlled from. There's a switch at each end. 208 00:16:47,639 --> 00:16:51,360 Oh great, Kevin, omits one very important fact, which what's that 209 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,360 Borsia? It is true there is a switch at either end up on the 210 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,440 rim. But where was Kevin at the time? I told you I was 211 00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,440 down on the floor of the canyon. Mitchell saw me. Then he was 212 00:17:00,519 --> 00:17:03,359 organizing a work party near the construction shack. Then it might interest you to 213 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,839 know there is a master switch in the sack. It also controls the cable 214 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,559 car. Why okay, so what I'd forgotten about the master switch? Un 215 00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:15,359 this it's just dandy. Any one of you could have killed up or and 216 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:26,279 started the cable car. Yeah. At this point it looks like everybody's trying 217 00:17:26,319 --> 00:17:29,079 to get into the guy Prussia and I climb up to the recuel. The 218 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:33,039 workers are starting to clear away the debris. This delays, of course, 219 00:17:33,079 --> 00:17:36,799 it costs me one Mitchell, but we can still finish on schedule. When 220 00:17:36,799 --> 00:17:42,200 the train arrived with the supplies and equipment, what is it over here? 221 00:17:44,319 --> 00:17:49,559 Something partially buried in the rubbles. Looks like a box of some sort. 222 00:17:51,519 --> 00:17:55,880 Yeah, hey, a dynamite box. Yes, empty, or it's pried 223 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,039 off the top. Looks like this is where Dupper opened the box. But 224 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,160 whereas all the dynamo? Are you kidding? That's what blew up the tunnel? 225 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:03,559 No, no, not all of it. What do you mean? 226 00:18:04,039 --> 00:18:07,960 I told you whoever arranged the blast in the tunnel knew his business. Judging 227 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,559 from the sound and the scene of the blast, only a few sticks of 228 00:18:11,599 --> 00:18:15,000 dynamite were used there. Why then where's the rest of it? That poor 229 00:18:15,079 --> 00:18:18,079 must have planted it somewhere? Wait a minute, the train, Mitchell, 230 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,440 that could be the big target. Yes. If that train were blown up 231 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,319 and the equipment it is carrying loss, the work here would be brought to 232 00:18:23,319 --> 00:18:36,759 a complete stop indefinitely. What what's that? How long ago? Very well, 233 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,200 we're too late, Mitchell. They tell me the train passed the junction 234 00:18:40,279 --> 00:18:41,839 and onto our spur line five minutes ago. Oh great, and there's no 235 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,680 way we can contact it now. No. According to this map, your 236 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,920 spur track from the main line is about ten miles long. Yes, very 237 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,119 close to that and somewhere and that ten miles stretches the train also a charge 238 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,839 at dynamite. We've got to find it and find it fresh. But how 239 00:18:56,039 --> 00:18:59,519 we cannot possibly cover every foot of that track? I know, But I 240 00:18:59,559 --> 00:19:02,880 figure the points on the map are the trouble points, areas where it's most 241 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,480 logical the charge would be set. Now Here, Yes, the area where 242 00:19:06,519 --> 00:19:08,599 Dapoor and the others were working today. Yeah. Then here, yes, 243 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,599 a downgrade with a curve at the bottom. Then over here a new bridge 244 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,200 and this tunnel here. Okay, have abers Kevin and Marga take some workers 245 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,119 and start along the track. If the Sabatory is one of those three, 246 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,160 we'll have the other two is insurance. Have them check the track as they 247 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:26,720 go along, and if they get to the train and it's in one piece, 248 00:19:26,759 --> 00:19:30,119 they can flag it down. And what about us. We're going to 249 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:40,319 cut across country to those trouble spots and hope we're in time. Of course, 250 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:41,799 it gives the necessary orders. Then he and I grabbed the jeep and 251 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,119 roar out of the camp six minutes later where the first stop the section the 252 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,960 track where Dapper had been working earlier in the day. We give the area 253 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,960 a fast frisk, but no dynamite. The railroad makes a horseshoe bend around 254 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,720 the mountains. From here, we cut across over the narrow road to our 255 00:19:56,799 --> 00:20:00,359 next stop, a downgrade with a sharp curve, But we can't find the 256 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,039 charge there either. We're working against time. Somewhere in these mountains is that 257 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:07,000 train, and it's getting closer every minute we head for the next step. 258 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,440 We are running out of time. Meter. There remain only the tunnel, 259 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,400 the new bridge, and wait there is also a tressly overlooked earlier. Oh, 260 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,599 but the train must have passed over it by now. Hey, wait 261 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,160 a minute, the bridge, what about it? Did you say it was 262 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,160 new? Why? Yes, it was completed just two days ago. Steel 263 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,200 construction girders, of course. Okay, I'll drop you at the tunnel. 264 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,079 I'm heading for that bridge. You think they is playing on hunch version, 265 00:20:30,079 --> 00:20:42,680 but it better be a good one. Three minutes later, I'm at the 266 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,920 bridge. I pile out of the jeep and slide down the side of the 267 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,559 hill and work my way under the bridge. I look at the network of 268 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,039 new steel girders and I know my hunch is right. They're still covered with 269 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:56,119 red lead paint, the same shade as the stain on upwards hands. Then 270 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,680 I spot the charge of dynamite. It's tied to the underside of a horizontal 271 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,920 girder about ten feet over my head. But just as I start to climb 272 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,000 up us, there's someone coming down the side of the hill. I crouched 273 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:12,240 behind one of the girders. Then I jumped, huh, Steve, Hello 274 00:21:12,319 --> 00:21:15,559 Martha, you're getting ready to set off your dynamite up there? Why? 275 00:21:17,839 --> 00:21:21,680 Yes, I see it. You see. I also realized what the stain 276 00:21:21,759 --> 00:21:25,319 on Duphor's hand meant. I was hoping against hope the dynamite would not be 277 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,440 here, but it is. Why Lock, what are you talking about? 278 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:32,000 Right up to now? I hope he was not involved. He Wait a 279 00:21:32,079 --> 00:21:36,160 minute, are you by any chance talking about Kevin? Yes, my husband. 280 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,519 His attempt to pass all the incidents off as accidents, aroused my suspicions. 281 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,160 Then I discovered he was leaving the cat mysteriously at night. You know, 282 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,240 you're not exactly in the clear yourself. I'm going to climb up there 283 00:21:47,279 --> 00:21:51,680 and get that dynamite. Then you're long, Mitchell. It's abras, Yes, 284 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,319 it sure is. Now just hold it booth here. Well, what 285 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,960 do you know? So you're my boy Abres Yeah, and you're not going 286 00:21:57,039 --> 00:22:00,440 to touch that dynamite, Mitchell. Then my husband is not involved. I 287 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,400 think Kevin was trying to pass things off as accident so he could do a 288 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,880 little investigating on the quiet. He followed me out of camp once or twice, 289 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,880 nearly caught up with me at the wrong time. Steve the train, 290 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:12,960 Yeah, what happens now? Avers After I get through with the two of 291 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,440 you, I'm leading fast, because when that train hits the bridge, the 292 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,839 whole thing goes sky high. I'll get over against the bank. Bove Abers 293 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,279 probably wants to get us under the bridge before he shoots us, so the 294 00:22:22,279 --> 00:22:25,440 wreckage will cover us when the bridge blows up with the train. Unless I 295 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,759 come up with something fast. Marga and I are that duck. Suddenly I 296 00:22:27,799 --> 00:22:30,880 stumble intentionally and fall on my knees on your feet, which I start to 297 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,119 get up and then whirl and with my arm up to his wrist, the 298 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,160 gun goes flying. I filled him with a left oh. He swalls back 299 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,160 against the bank. I jumped for the girder. I've got to climb and 300 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,039 jerk that dynamite loose before the train gets there, and I've left to hurry 301 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,240 getting closer. But Averies isn't through yet. He scrambles to his speak mark. 302 00:22:45,279 --> 00:22:48,160 He grabs at his arm, but he knots her down and up. 303 00:22:48,319 --> 00:22:51,039 He dives and catches my leg, drags me off the girder. He swings. 304 00:22:51,079 --> 00:22:53,920 I duck because this smashes against the girder. I tag him twice. 305 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,119 He goes down, and this time he stays. I start up the girder 306 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,640 again, time running out. The train's almost to the bridge. I keep 307 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,000 climbing another three feet. The train keeps coming. I sawt a wire leading 308 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,759 from the dynamite of the detonator. I reach up and jerk it loose just 309 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:21,000 the train thundered on to the bridge. After a couple of minutes, I 310 00:23:21,079 --> 00:23:25,599 climb down to the ground just as Margaret gets to her feet. Oh thank 311 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,960 Heaven, Steve. If you hadn't jerked that wire loose when he did, 312 00:23:29,039 --> 00:23:32,599 Yeah, hadn't been for that streak of red lead paint on top of his 313 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,519 hand, I wouldn't have been here to jerk the wire loose. It was 314 00:23:36,599 --> 00:23:38,759 fortunate you realize what that same was. Yeah. Matter of fact, you 315 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:56,119 might call it a red letter day for me. All Star Brian don Levue 316 00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:00,240 will return in just a moment. Here's a reminder about NBC stellar Sunday lineup 317 00:24:00,319 --> 00:24:04,039 of superb programming.

This is John Storm Speaking Dangerous Assignments, starring Brian don 333 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,839 Levy as Steve Mitchell with Herb Butterfield as the Commissioner, is written by Bob 334 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:51,599 Bryf and Adrian John Doe and is directed by Bill carn Be with us again 335 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,599 next week at this time, when Brian don Levy, starring in the role 336 00:25:53,640 --> 00:26:02,680 of Steve Mitchell, will embark on another transcribed Dangerous Assignment tomorrow here both Father 337 00:26:02,799 --> 00:26:19,200 Knows Best and Truth or Consequences on NBC. Welcome back. Well, this 338 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,759 was a solid adventure story. The thing with Steve Mitchell as if you give 339 00:26:23,839 --> 00:26:29,039 him a problem and a ticking clock, he does rise to the occasion. 340 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:34,559 One difference I've noticed between Dangerous Assignment and the Man Called X is that when 341 00:26:34,799 --> 00:26:42,759 the Man called X featured women in additionally male fields, it was rarely commented 342 00:26:42,839 --> 00:26:48,960 upon. And I think on Dangerous Assignment Steve Mitchell comments on it all the 343 00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:52,680 time. Well, now we turn to listener comments and feedback, and this 344 00:26:52,759 --> 00:26:57,400 one comes regarding a series we played a while back, Casebook of Gregory Hood, 345 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:02,160 which is now playing on our ball two feet at volume two dot Great 346 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:07,119 Detectives dot net. But we've got an email here from Martin who writes, 347 00:27:07,279 --> 00:27:12,880 at the end of the Casebook of Gregory Hood episode The Eloquent Corpse, the 348 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:19,119 network announcer promises a whole hour of mystery from Hood and Richard Davis Private Investigator 349 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,720 next week. What hoever happened to Richard Davis? Do you know I can 350 00:27:23,759 --> 00:27:27,359 find no mention of the show. Perhaps I has heard the title. Well, 351 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:32,279 thanks for the question Martin, and no, you did not mishear the 352 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:37,000 title. I did. I did go to newspapers dot com and was able 353 00:27:37,039 --> 00:27:42,119 to verify that the series aired in nineteen forty six and nineteen forty seven. 354 00:27:42,319 --> 00:27:47,759 I couldn't find any more details on it, and I did check some other 355 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,799 sources as well. There was nothing in Dunning's Encyclopedia of Old Time Radio, 356 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:59,960 and nothing in any of the old Time Radio books that were indexed by Google 357 00:28:00,079 --> 00:28:06,480 book. And so essentially, like so many series, Richard Davis Private Detective 358 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:11,000 is a lost series. I couldn't even find any information as to who started 359 00:28:11,079 --> 00:28:15,960 it. And there are programs like that that you'll hear an ad for them 360 00:28:17,079 --> 00:28:22,640 on a program. The first one I remember was the series County Sheriff. 361 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:29,400 I was listening to Abbott and Costello over Abase and they were advertising the series 362 00:28:30,079 --> 00:28:33,400 County Sheriff, and I thought, wow, that sounds like a great series, 363 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,039 and I checked and found no episodes in circulation. And not too long 364 00:28:37,079 --> 00:28:41,920 ago, I remember on one of the mutual shows I think of the mid 365 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:47,599 fifties, I heard an ad for a series called Brooklyn Cop and yeah, 366 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:55,000 there are series out there where we have hundreds of episodes or dozens, and 367 00:28:55,559 --> 00:28:59,160 or occasionally we just have two or three to give you an idea of what 368 00:28:59,319 --> 00:29:03,720 the show was like. But then there are shows that are just essentially forgotten, 369 00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:07,200 and Richard Davis definitely falls into that category. But you never know when 370 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,920 one of those will show up. Just in recent years we had a single 371 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:18,119 episode of Billy Swift Boy Detective and crime fighters show up. So who knows. 372 00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:22,079 We may one day play an episode of Richard Davis Private Detective that ever 373 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:29,640 comes into circulation, and then we've got an email from Richard regarding our special 374 00:29:29,839 --> 00:29:34,599 mister one by one, Hi Adam, I listened to Sunday's podcast when you 375 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:41,039 were on about Australian currency. Yes, up to nineteen sixty six, the 376 00:29:41,079 --> 00:29:47,039 Ausse's used the Great British pound sterling, not their own version, as I 377 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,759 said on the podcast, so I was mistaken. A lot of Commonwealth countries 378 00:29:51,839 --> 00:29:56,279 held on to the pound as their currency, some even after independence, as 379 00:29:56,319 --> 00:30:00,680 it's a lot easier than running your own central bank. The as decided that 380 00:30:00,759 --> 00:30:04,160 for some reason, four pence to a groat, three groats to a shilling 381 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,359 and twenty shillings to a pound was not for them, and decided to go 382 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:18,920 with a dollar worth ten shillings or two dollars equals one UK pound. Australian's 383 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,279 small change was the same size and weight as it was in the UK, 384 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:27,920 though with different designs, and they retained some of the coins after decriminalization, 385 00:30:29,079 --> 00:30:33,839 so a shilling was still legal tender worth ten cents. Gradually the old coins 386 00:30:33,839 --> 00:30:37,119 were called in and replaced. I visited in nineteen ninety seven and found a 387 00:30:37,319 --> 00:30:42,640 nineteen fifty five sixpence in my Chaine, which apparently was as rare as hens 388 00:30:42,759 --> 00:30:47,839 teeth by then. Personally, I think they made a mistake by going for 389 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:52,480 the dollar. The cent has become almost worthless to inflation, and even by 390 00:30:52,599 --> 00:30:57,559 nineteen ninety seven there were no coins smaller than five cents. If you went 391 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:03,240 to a shop and the bill came to something not a multiple of five cents, 392 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,680 the bill would be rounded down if you paid cash. They should have 393 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,119 stuck with the pound, even if they broke the link with the sterling, 394 00:31:10,279 --> 00:31:15,839 but we learned from their mistake. Incidentally, possibly the most unlikely country to 395 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,920 use the sterling was Ireland, given that they broke away from the UK and 396 00:31:19,039 --> 00:31:23,920 what was a little short of a revolution yet they used the sterling until nineteen 397 00:31:25,039 --> 00:31:29,960 seventy eight, fifty seven years after independence, using their own pound until two 398 00:31:30,039 --> 00:31:33,279 thousand and two when the Euro began to be used as a day to day 399 00:31:33,319 --> 00:31:37,480 currency. All very dull, but it gives you a bit of background. 400 00:31:37,799 --> 00:31:40,680 Hope you and the family are well, and thanks for doing the podcast. 401 00:31:40,759 --> 00:31:44,920 Well, thanks for the email, Richard, And it was not doll at 402 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:49,640 all. We play the radio programs and we talk about any irrelevant trivia surrounding 403 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:56,920 them, and certainly the history of Australian coinage is definitely relevant to that episode. 404 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,000 And then we have a note from Hilva who became one of our Patreon 405 00:32:00,079 --> 00:32:06,200 supporters, and she wrote, thank you for providing outstanding content and commentary. 406 00:32:06,359 --> 00:32:09,920 And we have a couple of comments on the listener survey, and someone identifying 407 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:15,960 themselves as Echo writes, my dad and my uncle were big fans of Blackie. 408 00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:20,640 They would tell me Blackie bedtime stories when I was very little. I 409 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:25,279 love these old radio shows. Even though Blackie exited radio just after I made 410 00:32:25,359 --> 00:32:30,640 my entrance to the world, I'm loving hearing these old Blackie shows. I 411 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:35,359 probably already heard this show as a bedtime story, but this is the first 412 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:40,319 time I heard it broadcast. I'm surprised the actors weren't given on air credit. 413 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:45,680 I know Richard Comer was Blackie, and Mary was either Leslie Woods or 414 00:32:45,799 --> 00:32:53,839 Jan miynor a edge from the palm ol of Liquid. Ads Faraday was either 415 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:59,839 Maurice Tarplin, Richard Lane or Frank Orth. Shorty would be Tony Barrett. 416 00:32:59,839 --> 00:33:04,880 But I'd really like to know who on this episode and who were the supporting 417 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,079 characters like the Blame brothers, the killer, his girl in fair Day's assistance, 418 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:12,359 and who is the narrator? The voices I heard in this episode are 419 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:16,079 somewhat familiar, but I'd really like to know who they really were. Where 420 00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:21,640 can I find this? I've googled, imdb't Wikipedia and even listen to the 421 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,440 complete brad ast and no go help. Please. Thanks so much for sharing 422 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:30,799 these little Blackie gems. I'm looking forward to listening to some more. Well, 423 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:36,319 thanks so much. And I will say chiding, but just as an 424 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,400 f y I want to chide, But if you ask questions on the listener 425 00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:45,359 survey, there's no email address and I have no way to get back to 426 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:50,599 you, and generally I wouldn't read this out on the episode, but it's 427 00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,839 the only thing I've got, so on the off chance you listen to it. 428 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:59,359 First of all, I think that I love the fact that your family 429 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:06,279 made up Boston Blackie bedtime stories. That is amazing and that's definitely a way 430 00:34:06,319 --> 00:34:10,000 to keep these characters alive that I had never thought of. As to the 431 00:34:10,079 --> 00:34:16,079 cast of Boston Blackie, if you are listening to the ZIB series, depending 432 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:22,599 on the episode, Lesley Woods or Jan Minor could be playing Mary. For 433 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:29,599 Inspector Faraday, it would be Maurice Tarplin. Richard Lane was Faraday in the 434 00:34:29,679 --> 00:34:36,440 movies and in the Chester Morris radio program, Frank Orth in the TV show. 435 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,039 In terms of the rest of it, we just don't know. They 436 00:34:40,079 --> 00:34:46,119 didn't do on air credits, and there's not really a way to find the 437 00:34:46,159 --> 00:34:53,519 supporting cast. Usually if you recognize anybody, it's just through recognizing them from 438 00:34:53,639 --> 00:35:00,119 other places, like in various episodes. I heard Frank Lovejoy before he he 439 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:05,960 moved out towards Hollywood, Mandel Kramer, and a few I think there were 440 00:35:06,159 --> 00:35:12,440 some episodes that featured bouth Bell. The announcer for the series was Larry Elliott. 441 00:35:12,519 --> 00:35:16,960 That I can tell you it's just down to recognizing voices, and unfortunately, 442 00:35:17,079 --> 00:35:22,679 there are just very few of the New York productions in the Golden Age 443 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:28,880 radio where they properly credited people, So unless it was in a newspaper somewhere, 444 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,119 they're just down to, oh, I recognize that guy again. If 445 00:35:32,159 --> 00:35:36,400 you hear this, I hope that helps a little. Wish I had another 446 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,559 way to get back in touch with you. Well, now it's time to 447 00:35:38,599 --> 00:35:42,840 thank our Patreon supporter of the day, and I want to go ahead and 448 00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,239 thank Janet.

We'll be back next 454 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:12,519 Wednesday with another episode of Dangerous Assignment, but join us back here for mister 455 00:36:12,599 --> 00:36:15,639 Chameleon, where he had a note in his pocket saying, in the event 456 00:36:15,679 --> 00:36:21,480 of his being murdered, to interrogate you interrogate me, But why I can't 457 00:36:21,559 --> 00:36:23,840 understand. I think I understand perfectly, Miss Lotting. He expected to be 458 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:30,519 murdered and he left a note to question you because well, why do you 459 00:36:30,519 --> 00:36:32,800 think he left such a note? I don't know. The note bears two 460 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:37,719 interpretations, Miss Lodding. It could mean that he expected you to try to 461 00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:40,239 murdering No. No, or it could mean that you had knowledge of who 462 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:44,599 might have intent and motive for murdering him. It has to mean one or 463 00:36:44,639 --> 00:36:46,639 the other. But I tell you I know nothing nothing, Mister commisis which 464 00:36:46,679 --> 00:36:50,400 is it did? Well? It's Clayton fair that you might murder him? 465 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,280 Or do you know who did? Oh? Is it mis lotting you? 466 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,039 Or does kill him? I don't know who killed him. I don't know 467 00:36:55,079 --> 00:36:59,920 why he wrote such a note. You can question me all day and us 468 00:37:00,039 --> 00:37:04,039 tday. I don't know wallas Clayton was saying. Wasn't he he was your 469 00:37:04,079 --> 00:37:07,159 fiance? He wrote this note saying to question you? Now why why? 470 00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,760 I hope you'll be with us then, in the meantime, do send your 471 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:16,320 comments to Box thirteen at Great Detectives dot net, follow us on Twitter at 472 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:22,599 Radio Detectives, and check us out on Instagram, Instagram, dot com Slash, 473 00:37:22,599 --> 00:37:27,760 great detectives from Boisei, Aldohol.
