mean the tret as none since I
was a child in San Francisco. Now

16
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:07.000
that she is sixteen, I feel
for her almost the same affection as for

17
00:02:07.080 --> 00:02:13.240
my own revered mother. Still,
she has a kind of courage that made

18
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:17.639
her keep a scheduled Red Cross engagement
the day after she received notification that her

19
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:23.319
eldest son had been killed on Battle
Canal. Now that she was in trouble

20
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:28.319
and she had sent for me,
she received me in the morning room of

21
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:38.000
her fifth Avenue house. Her fine
old eyes were strained with wine and bewilderm

22
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.319
Mister Loso, I've had the lost
incredible shock. I've something to also,

23
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:46.759
which waited her. Then turned my
dear old friend to me. Come now,

24
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:50.560
let me share your trouble. That, after all, is what friends

25
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:55.400
are for. Its Paul, What
about Paul? I have reason to believe

26
00:02:55.479 --> 00:03:01.240
that my deldest son is is what
if I hadn't seen it with my own

27
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:07.120
eyes, I just wouldn't believe it. Please tell me, he last night

28
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:10.080
I couldn't sleep. I tossed around
till three in the morning. Then I

29
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:15.319
put on a road and came down
to the library. It was so warm

30
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:19.639
I sat outside. Their French doors
had opened. From the library to the

31
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.159
patio, but I was sitting there
in the dark. I'm quite Suddenly someone

32
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:29.240
switched on the library night. It
was poor. He couldn't see me,

33
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:36.280
but I could see him quite clearly, and he he store a nettress of

34
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:40.840
mine out of the library walls.
The store it, mister Moto. He

35
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:46.919
was wearing gloves I see. Then
he turned off the lights and night upstairs,

36
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:52.520
without knowing you had seen him.
Yes, it worried me, so

37
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:58.319
I couldn't sleep all night. Finally
I telephoned you. The netrice is valuable

38
00:03:59.000 --> 00:04:02.280
begged diamonds, cavish on emerald set
in satment one of the emeralds ways study

39
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:06.479
four carrots. It was a wedding
gift from my husband, but since his

40
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:11.000
death, I practically never wear it. And Paul knows this. Yes,

41
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.800
he knows that all months might go
by before I missed it, and you

42
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:19.519
want it back. I could probably
get it back by going up to his

43
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:26.120
room asking for it. That isn't
cause I want. I want to help

44
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:30.040
him. He's all I have in
the world. So our problem is why

45
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:35.120
why did he steal it? Yes, he needs money, Perhaps he really

46
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:39.839
has a good position and he gets
a thousand dollars a month from his father's

47
00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:45.639
state. He needed to cat Has
Paul never married? No Amy, do

48
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:49.279
you hesitate? Oh there was a
girl once they were engaged. She died.

49
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:56.160
Oh I am so, mister Moto. I don't get upset very easily,

50
00:04:56.600 --> 00:05:00.439
but I'm sure there's something wrong in
this house, something evil and terrifying.

51
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:06.319
It this honest, I know Paul
is in trouble, trouble that I'm

52
00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:12.480
too old. This motto, Yes, who a telephone Paul is a quarter

53
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:14.800
to nine in the morning. How
do you know it's for Paul? There's

54
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.519
an extension in his bedroom. He's
obviously answered it, but surely Paul has

55
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.839
many friends who telephone him. Tell
him at a quarter to nine, and

56
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:27.120
especially the night after he's stolen Nicklass, I want you to listen to that

57
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.920
conversation. I'm dear, old friend
to you stop on someone else's whoever will

58
00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.160
hang up? I am afraid,
but such a then I don't know.

59
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:42.160
No, no, if you insisted
the receiver yet I'm calling me at home,

60
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:46.680
I d I mean it, don't
tell on me at home in the

61
00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.199
necklace. Yes, last night hang
it to the maul teased room A friently

62
00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:55.800
in seven. All right, and
Paul, if you want to stay living,

63
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:08.279
don't try anything. Smile critic when
Paul is meeting a man named Riddick

64
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:12.920
in the Maltese room of the thir
plea at seven, have given the nextace?

65
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:18.560
Yes? Why why missus de clat
has Paul that I've been arrested.

66
00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:25.519
No, you're sure towards the mintatic
violation and that is all. Yes,

67
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:30.439
my dear old friend, this is
not my usual line of work. I

68
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.399
am saving for yours and a world
play. As you've got to help me.

69
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:35.800
I couldn't possibly go to the police, not about my own son.

70
00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:41.240
Please, mister Moto, they're the
only one I can trust. Well,

71
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:45.839
then, of course I will help
you. Please try not to worry.

72
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:53.040
Let me do that for you.
Now do you suppose that Paul coming morning?

73
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:57.040
Mother? I'm afraid I'm late for
breakfast. But why, mister Moto,

74
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.759
Hello Paul, good morning, dear
How are you Tomoto? Ye?

75
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.519
Thank you? You and mother hatching
up a plot your mother and I need

76
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:10.600
for as twice a year like the
stockholder. Well, I'm sorry I can't

77
00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:15.480
join you. I'm late for the
office dining home tonight. No, Barbara

78
00:07:15.519 --> 00:07:17.399
and I are going to the theater. He'll give him my love, have

79
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:21.120
a nice time. Thanks. I'm
sorry to rush off the Tomoto hope I'll

80
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:28.480
see you soon. Goodbye, paulod
bye dining, good bye. You must

81
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:34.319
admit he's a good act, impeccable. Oh he's so fine, so decent.

82
00:07:35.319 --> 00:07:39.279
Mister Moto. What can we do? I will go to the Machiese

83
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:43.160
room at seven. In the meantime, I'll make a few inquiries. I

84
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:47.319
am sure that the trouble is Paul
will be all right, mister Moto.

85
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:53.800
There's just one thing. Yes,
some years ago I needed money rather badly.

86
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:58.279
I didn't want him to stay investments, so I sold the necklace of

87
00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:01.839
fifty thousand dollars and later brought it
back. And it seems silly to have

88
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.680
that amount of money and jewelry I
never wore. I had a duplicate made.

89
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:11.519
You mean the necklace Paul took last
night. Yes, it's worth about

90
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:15.480
two hundred dollars. Such man would
be very kind of you to see me

91
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.040
on such short notice, of mister
Moto. I'm here to help people,

92
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:22.279
especially people like you. Thank you
so much. I would like to check

93
00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:28.879
the police files on a young man
named Paul Decresto, Paul decrest Yes,

94
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:33.960
do you know him? Yes,
I do, and his mother. I've

95
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.799
known her for many years. I'm
very gracious meeting. Yes she is,

96
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:43.200
mister Modo. Paul Decretos no prison
record. I'm quite positive the files on

97
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:48.519
him a negative, but you would
have no objection if I checked. I'm

98
00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:54.720
afraid I would such burns. I
do not understand. Look, mister Moto,

99
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:58.120
I know you've done some brilliant work
for the government. You're a man

100
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:03.360
of honor and integrity, and naturally
I wish to co operate with you in

101
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:07.399
every way I can. However,
you are not a license detective in New

102
00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.399
York State. That is true,
and if you wish to check politics file,

103
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:16.000
you will have to get a notarized
statement from him authorizing you to do

104
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.519
so. But surely, judge burns. Between friends, this formality can be

105
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.159
dispensed with. I am afraid not, but if its ticket, this license

106
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:26.360
would damage my cover as a secret
agents. My regular work is done completely

107
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:31.320
incognito. I am really trying to
assist an old friend. You must do

108
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:35.559
so through routine channels. Very well, I am sorry if I have bothered

109
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.759
to note at all. I assure
you our next contact will be along much

110
00:09:39.840 --> 00:10:09.360
more formaba. Hello Elean Chester,
can you talk freely? Yes? Do

111
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:13.080
you know a Japanese named Moto?
Yes? Yes, I don't. By

112
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:18.279
any chance? Is he working for
you? Oh? Yes? He is

113
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:22.799
an official officially? Have you lost
your mind? Do you realize what could

114
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:26.000
happen to me if that little man
ever reopened the house? In murder case?

115
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:33.440
Mister Moto, I didn't expect to
see you again today. The multi

116
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.679
room is my favorite bar? Oh? Is it? Yes? It's moved

117
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:43.240
fors gently on one's nerve. By
any chance, you wouldn't be following me,

118
00:10:43.559 --> 00:10:46.279
my dear boy, what a ridiculous
suggestion? Will you have a cuptare?

119
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:48.559
Well? No thanks, I'm meeting
a friend who should be here any

120
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:52.600
minute. On fact, furious now
down the bar? Will you excuse me

121
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:54.919
suddenly and remember to call me some
day? So? Yes, yes,

122
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:01.080
I'll do that all right, Eank, I's actual what it's talking to a

123
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:05.840
friend? Ian on this? Don't
be crazy? If sure? Of course,

124
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:09.879
I'm sure relax. Got the necklace? Yes, I view the letter

125
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:16.600
I said I would, didn't I
give it to me? Sure? Thanks?

126
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:20.799
Here's the neck question of the bar? You idiot. Listen, Rade

127
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.720
just finishes it. If you ever
phone me or try to get in touch

128
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.320
with me again, I'll well,
I'll you're one. This as the end.

129
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:33.240
You understand it's finished. I'll shut
up and relax. Put the letter

130
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:39.919
on the pocket. I remember,
radeck don't call me again. Never sell

131
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:50.039
and Paul obviously and keep out in
front. But me, Paul, Look,

132
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.879
mister moto, will you leave me
alone? Would you prefer that I

133
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.080
arrested you? Look modo? Whatever
it is you've been drinking, have a

134
00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:58.759
couple more and go home. Did
you give me to rate it under the

135
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:05.399
bar? What are you talking about? The emerald necklace you stole last night?

136
00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:09.840
Listen, motto? Do you write
detective fiction? Your mother saw you

137
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:13.919
take a sheep? Oh? Now
look here, she was upside on the

138
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.480
patio. She couldn't sleep. I
detest scenes in boss. I want a

139
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:22.399
few minutes conversations with you alone.
You will be so kind as to come

140
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:28.360
quietly to my apartment. Now all
right, I'm here. What are we

141
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:31.720
doing next? Oh? I am
your friend? Do you believe that?

142
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:33.840
Why should I? I have known
your mother since before you were born.

143
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.320
I know that you are in trouble. I want to help you. Your

mother saw you take this next.
She's worried and upfest for her sake,

00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:20.000
murder murder. I I was in
love with a girl named Mary Houghton when

152
00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:26.200
she she was a singer in a
nightclub that that rade owned. They get

153
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:30.080
on. He started, I was
a baker's helper when he was sixteen.

154
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.080
He stole and fought and shot his
way up to the top. He ended

155
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:37.720
up owning the Canyon Club. Mary
Houghton sang there. I I was crazy

156
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:43.120
about her. I was just a
kid and she was do you boy?

157
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:48.480
It is a very familiar that we
were going to be married. Then I

158
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:54.279
found out that Raydick was was paying
the rent on her apartment. I wrote

159
00:13:54.279 --> 00:14:01.519
her a letter here you may as
well read it. Dearest Mary, I

160
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:07.120
have thought about her phone night.
Can't you understand how tortured I am,

161
00:14:07.240 --> 00:14:09.840
and that I'd rather you were dead
than not even to read it. I

162
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:16.559
promish you I'll kill you before Paul. How old were you when you broke

163
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:20.600
this? Anyone did you kill?
No? Well, I don't know.

164
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.000
There were always a lot of older
men. She even had a friend of

165
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:26.840
mother's, a judge, Judge,
Judge Burns. Yes, do you know

166
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:33.000
him? He's like, are you
suggesting that Judge Bloom a rayech? It

167
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:35.759
could have been anybody. She played
the field and you were so in love

168
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:41.679
with her you didn't care. Yes. Then what happened? There was an

169
00:14:41.720 --> 00:14:45.240
inquest. The verdict was suicide.
You had an alified. I was at

170
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:48.799
my fraternity house to had trouble fixing
the exact time of death. Why it

171
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.000
was winner twelve degrees blow zero.
All the windows in her apartment were left

172
00:14:52.039 --> 00:14:56.840
open, the body was frozen.
Who found ye went through her personal effects,

173
00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:58.759
found this letter and kept it and
then telephoned the piece. Oh no,

174
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.879
no, no. Then he went
home. The building is superintendent father.

175
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:09.279
The next morning one of the radiators
was frozen and had burst at leaked,

176
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:13.120
and he went into repair it.
And none of this came out of

177
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.080
the inquest. No, everybody concerned
had an alibi and the case was dropped.

178
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:22.120
Dropped Why that scene at the time, as though there was pressure from

179
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:24.559
higher up? Maybe Radeck had something
on the police. I don't know.

180
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.279
And how long has this blackmail's been
going on? Well, this is the

181
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:33.320
first time Raydeck lost a lot of
money recently, Paul, blackmail is something

182
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:37.120
that never ends. What do you
mean? I mean that Radeck, in

183
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:41.639
all probabiliness, he had made go
fer steps of this promised me. He

184
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:48.840
gave me his words, would Paul? Besides the nickast you gave him was

185
00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:54.960
an imitation? Why? Yes,
mother told me this morning. But diva

186
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:58.639
tour. She sold the original some
time ago. She needed money. Then

187
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:06.159
when that tries to sell it hills
exactly. So if he has not made

188
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:11.200
photos deeps the letter, our position
is excellent. How can we find out?

189
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:14.240
What can we do? We is
ridiculus the grom Hotel, Room eleven

190
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:17.120
twenty three, Telephonium. Do you
know his number? Yes? But but

191
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:21.639
what do I say? Nothing?
If he answered hang up? I merely

192
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:34.480
wish to find out if he is
at home. That's Righteck. Please eleven

193
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:44.039
twenty three? Thank you? Are
they mean yeah, it's not in?

194
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:48.919
Then we shall break into his room
and such a threat, or you're crazy

195
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:53.039
as entry is something about which I
know a great deal. I have the

196
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:59.320
equipment and the experience. Now come
along. We took a textige to Groom

197
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:04.279
Hotel. The eleventh floor hallway was
deserted, but brilliantly lit. Radex Doll

198
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:08.160
was around the corner in a dead
ended foot hall while I worked down the

199
00:17:08.240 --> 00:17:19.039
lock. Paus to God, never
hurry up delicacy and haste our poor companions

200
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:26.319
very open. It would help if
you were quiet. Ah, what the

201
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:30.799
way do a raider comes back?
We will rely on the inspiration of the

202
00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:33.880
moment. Come along. If we're
caught here, we'll be turned on the

203
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:42.559
lights. Now where would a man
of rady disposition hide valuable paper at the

204
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:51.079
desk? To up? Let me
think, Mr Mode or listener? Someone's

205
00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:56.359
coming which way? I know?
That whistle coming the back room quickly and

206
00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:59.480
throws the door. Just keep out
of frighting the crass he carries our gun.

207
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:03.279
Mode f the back room quickly and
be quiet unless I be careful.

208
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:10.160
He's dyning like what please? Mister
Rabbick, do not reach for You're done?

209
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:12.279
This is a fantic call the Teplould

210
00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:15.480

so I took the liberty of coming in.

211
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:18.960
You can take the liberty of getting
up. Fair, mister Riddick,

212
00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:22.759
would you like to make a great
deal of money? Faded? I am

213
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:26.119

in our discussing it. There is something

214
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:30.599
I want done that's so like?
What? May we talk it over?

215

Listen, what is nice? You
will observe that a few ances more

224
00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:25.279

shoulder bones from the stucket. Paul,

227
00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:40.200
will never use this arm again unless
you give us what we want. Where

228
00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:45.559

229
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:49.680

231
00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:02.079
Medic? Yes? I would believe

00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:07.920

233

00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:21.440
Rick get up. I would advise
you not to try blackmail again. If

235
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:26.680
it's a revoting profession, go ahead, Paul. What's your name? I

236

Good night, mistree, mister Motorway.

238
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:42.160
I don't know how to thank you. I don't something is radically wrong

239
00:20:42.319 --> 00:20:48.359
wrong. Why give me mister Dick's
gun? Bro? Thank you? No.

240
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:52.000
By the way, here is your
mother's next you took it from her.

241
00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:56.319
Its most extremely simple, Paul,
I have some other calls to make

242
00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:02.319
go home if radio getting such with
you again, telephoned me at once at

243
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:06.599
my apartment. But why would we've
gotten the photo stature? Unfortunately, I

244
00:21:06.720 --> 00:21:14.319
am quite quite sure that I have
bundled Judge Burns. I too have friends

245
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:17.759
in high places in this city.
I was given access to the files on

246
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:21.519
the Merry Housen Murderkido, I'm not
interested. I told you that. Nevertheless,

247
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:25.680
you shall listen. The bullet which
killed Mary Hutton was fired from a

248
00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:30.480
German Luga automatic of nine millimeters caliber. The gun was never found until to

249
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:36.799
night. What do you mean in
Carl Radeck's position? I come too.

250
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:42.160
A single strand of short gray hair
was sent to the Priest's laboratory. It

251
00:21:42.319 --> 00:21:48.039
had been found on the marrying Houghton's
fingernaire the cellular arrangements that amateur and general

252
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:55.359
condition of the hair was being examined
when the laboratory attendant was suddenly called to

253
00:21:55.440 --> 00:22:00.440
the priest Commissioner's office. When he
returned, the hair had this appeared.

254
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:07.759
Why get out of here, that's
been Your hair is both great and short.

255
00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:12.559
Hello, It's called the cliff.
How good money? Paul? Did

256
00:22:12.599 --> 00:22:15.359
you sleep well? I just heard
from raining kick on his way over to

257
00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:19.440
your house. Yes, right now, he's your mother. I will be

258
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:23.799
there in fifteen minutes. You were
too taking get away with this your prazy

259
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:27.759
there's nobody puzzle trick right that on
me. He's commediately beto the talking.

260
00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:33.000
Will you murdered? Mary Hart?
I didn't all right by explaining that letter

261
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:36.319
in court, how he'll pay me? You offer it goes to the police.

262
00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:38.359
By know, there were more than
a dozen folf of tech needs.

263
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:41.759
As a matter of fact, that
word, mister murdo, what's he means?

264
00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:42.880
We got twelve of them? I
think he's bluffing all. I used

265
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:49.400
to be a baker, remember a
bigger that's a thirteene. Now let's crack

266
00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:53.279
the form around and I'll try offering
me that phony neck was fifty thousand in

267
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:56.960
cash. By known, you've got
two thousand a half. Anybody gets started,

268
00:22:57.200 --> 00:23:00.200
I can't possibly get fifty thousand dollars
in cash. Bye, you will

269
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:06.920
wake up your old lady and tyler
cash a check, will mother? It

270
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:10.759
is needless. The contrary, mister
knowlto It's very important that i'd be included

271
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:15.519
in this discussion. I've been listening
at the door. Mister Raydeck get out,

272
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:18.359
Love Graham, I join your here, said Kelly, it comes out.

273
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:19.640
I'll get high and mighty strong.
Mother. I didn't kill her.

274
00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:22.200
I didn't. That letter will send
you with a chair so fast you won't

275
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:26.160
know what hit chick. Hen mister, all right, let's cut out the

276
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:29.839
talk. Fifty thousand in cash,
bye on our sunny boy can take the

277
00:23:29.920 --> 00:23:33.720
consequences. Mister Moto, you have
guessed the flea. Judge Burns telephoned me.

278
00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:37.920
I hate to do this to him
that I have no other storie.

279
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:40.519
What do you mean, Judge Burns? Mother, Are you trying to say

280
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:45.400
that Judge Burns killed Mary? No, Paul, she is trying to say

281
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:49.960
that she did my dear old friend. If only you had told me everything

282
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:53.480
from the the ginni oh. I
didn't think it would be necessary. I

283
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:59.119
never connected Paul Steve the netlace with
mary husband's murder. She was cheap and

284
00:23:59.480 --> 00:24:03.880
coming desperable For ten thousand dollars,
she promised to end her engagement with Paul,

285
00:24:04.839 --> 00:24:08.920
and the day after I paid her, she broke that problems. I

286
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:15.599
went to her apartment. We had
oh her dreadful scene She took a gun

287
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:19.680
from her desk Ydex gun as you
know now, and ordered me out.

288
00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:26.279
I tried to take the gun away
from her. It went off like why

289
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:29.920
did you put the windows up?
I was wearing heavy persume. I thought

290
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:33.319
it might be noticed. I had
no one to turn to, so I

291
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:37.880
went to Judge Burns and he managed
to obtain the only bit of evidence against

292
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:44.039
the gray hair under Mary hoppin Syndony. Yes, please do not worry for

293
00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:48.279
me. I am an old woman. I've had a rich, full life.

294
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:52.319
I have a fine boy. But
a murder tire is so terribly unpleasant

295
00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:57.400
of mister Moto. I'll never live
through a murder tryer, Please do not

296
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:03.839
worry about I would Judge Burns students. Why would he conceal evidence of this

297
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:08.359
nature? And he felt obligated to
me. In the crash of twenty nine

298
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:12.680
he lost everything he had. I
saw the necklace and gave him fifty thousand

299
00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:17.559
dollars You mean mont Oh, No, No, it was a gift.

300
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:21.720
So when I was in trouble he
tried to help me. I'd so like

301
00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:26.119
him not to be disgraced. His
partners must never been known. He wouldn't

302
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:29.519
have done it if he believed that
I well, that I wasn't innocent.

303
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:34.319
He is in love with you,
didn't you? We never see each other.

304
00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:42.119
He has a wife and family.
I see, mister motto. Yes,

305
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:53.359
those who thinks he'll convict me,
And gentlemen of the jury, have

306
00:25:53.559 --> 00:26:00.000
you reached a verdict? We have
your honor. We a jury find a

307
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:11.480
defendant, highly decret guilty of murder. But I leant destiny was not long

308
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:15.960
in the hands of justice. Before
she could begin the spending of imprisonment for

309
00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:25.119
the rest of her natural life,
her tired but still spirit faded as the

310
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:33.000
insensitive temple quietly and gently, He's
the strange, said, mystery of the

311
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:38.400
world beyond. You have just heard
the world's greatest international secret agent, mister

312
00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:45.480
I a motto. In Blackmail,
James Monks starred as mister Motto. The

313
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:51.880
script was written and directed by Harry
W. Junkin, produced by Carol Irwin.

314
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:56.039
Other members of the cast were Bill
Lipton, Grace Cuddy, and Ralph

315
00:26:56.079 --> 00:27:02.640
Fell. The music was transcribed welcome
back. Yeah. I have to say

316
00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:10.319
that I meant A Baker's Dozen has
to be one of my all time favorite

317
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:17.839
clues. I think in the position
mister Moto was kind of on the intense

318
00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:26.039
side in terms of interrogators. You
know the position he was in, and

319
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:27.880
he was gonna lie. He wasn't
gonna be able to. I don't think

320
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:33.160
he was thinking, let's oh,
I've got to find some way so that

321
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:37.240
later on I can say technically,
I told you correct. But it was

322
00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:42.119
a baker's dozen and also kind of
minimalist on the effect. This has the

323
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:49.680
feel. I don't know whether it's
a rehearsal or a badly edited tape,

324
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:56.920
but we do our best with what
we have available. So I apologize that

325
00:27:56.839 --> 00:28:02.440
some of these key things are missing
from this. A lot of the transitions,

326
00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:06.119
and we just kind of get action
upon action here. So kind of

327
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:11.559
odd, but all right. Listener
comments and feedback, Bobby says, my

328
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:15.079
wife and I've watched all the Mister
Moto movies. This was our first time

329
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:18.119
to hear the radio show. I
enjoyed it, but I wanted to hear

330
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:22.440
a few more episodes before I'm making
my mind. Thanks for sharing. Well,

331
00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:27.200
thanks, Bobby, and I will
say that I'm actually enjoying Mister Moto

332
00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:32.680
the second time through some of these
episodes. I haven't listened to all of

333
00:28:32.720 --> 00:28:37.400
them. I think I listened to
four or five of the thirteen we're gonna

334
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:41.839
play, but these first three i'd
heard and I actually like them better the

335
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:48.720
second time through. And then I
want to have a comment on Facebook from

336
00:28:48.880 --> 00:28:55.599
Bill Wise Guy Palucci, who says, listening to the Thin Man tonight,

337
00:28:55.839 --> 00:28:59.920
Well, thanks Bill, and I
love it. Folks availed them, say
