I want to know some more about that kid you mentioned on the 22 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,319 phone last night, Eddy Money, Yeah, I don't know. That was 23 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,199 told to me in confidence. Johnny. I'm going to talk to you like 24 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,759 a policeman for a minute. A man named Willow was knife to death last 25 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,319 night. Told me yourself is dead. Is probably tied in with that warehouse 26 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,520 robbery. Another man is dying at Queen of the Angels. So confidence or 27 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,919 no confidence, I want to know about that kid. All right, guess 28 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:46,159 here. I'll be there in twenty minutes tonight and every weekday night. Bob 29 00:02:46,199 --> 00:02:50,759 Bailey and the Transcribed Adventures of the Man with the Action Packed Expense Account America's 30 00:02:50,800 --> 00:03:08,439 Fabulous Freelance Insurance Investigator, as Truly Johnny Doller from Special Investigator Johnny Dollar location 31 00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:13,840 in Los Angeles, California, that the home office Mono Guarantee Insurance Company, 32 00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:22,159 Hartford, Connecticut, assignment the Silver Blue Matter expense account continued. Item ten 33 00:03:22,199 --> 00:03:24,960 a dollar and forty five cents taxi from my hotel to the police headquarters office 34 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:30,120 of Lieutenant Garcia. The early morning fog was starting to lift in the city 35 00:03:30,199 --> 00:03:34,360 sprawl beneath a slate gray sky. The filtered sun should have softened things, 36 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,199 but didn't. Gray sun, gray world, grab and dreary, and a 37 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,879 case to match. Teenagers, not a gang of hardened criminals, a bunch 38 00:03:42,919 --> 00:03:46,560 of wild kids who'd broken into a warehouse and stolen eighty fur coats, silver 39 00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:50,280 blue mink. A night watchman had been slugged and lay dying in the hospital, 40 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,639 and a lunch from owner named Red Weller had been stabbed at death the 41 00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:58,240 night before. So it couldn't be called kids stuff. That term doesn't apply 42 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,000 to murder. Run those forecards through, Joel, See what you can make 43 00:04:02,039 --> 00:04:05,759 on the nice Come on into the office, Johnny. This Mattou's out here. 44 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,680 Get to a frazzle before you know it. Oh, you police detectives 45 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,479 have it pretty softwarees here. That's news to me. A lot of times, 46 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,199 photophiles, record cards, crime labs. How'd you like to try working 47 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,560 alone on your expense account? I could suffer the hardship and let's go in 48 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:26,759 here. Ever, see, Johnny? Thanks? Yeah? Did I put 49 00:04:26,759 --> 00:04:29,319 the fear of the Lord in you? On the phone? You were real 50 00:04:29,399 --> 00:04:31,360 impressive. Yeah. The Chief was breathing down my neck. And then I'll 51 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,000 stop trembling. Getting aside, Johnny, I've got to know just how that 52 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:40,360 Monday boy figures in this? Did I say he even figured in it at 53 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:46,279 all? No? You just wanted some information on him. But key figures 54 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,839 all right. You didn't come out here from hotfood to look up the nephew 55 00:04:48,879 --> 00:04:53,879 of an old friend. Oh, I've done crazier things and times. He's 56 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:59,160 got a record. Did you know that? No petty stuff, no convictions, 57 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:06,160 gang brows, auto pilfering, vandalism, intoxication, interrogative attitude, sullen, 58 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:12,800 hostile, antisocial. Yeah, that's quite a nephew you've got, Johnny. 59 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,079 I actually be it a family. What's the study? How did you 60 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,680 get onto this school? Look from megor I made a promise on this. 61 00:05:18,759 --> 00:05:25,560 I hate to break it. It's murder, Johnny. This kid's sister worked 62 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,120 for Red Weller and at lunch from across the street from the warehouse. Her 63 00:05:29,199 --> 00:05:31,360 name is Carlamonti. She's five years older than he is. They lived together, 64 00:05:31,399 --> 00:05:34,439 their parents are dead, so I put some pressure on her, and 65 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,199 she told me she thought her brother Eddie might know something about the robbery. 66 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,839 She took me to a pool room to meet him. Oh, was he 67 00:05:40,879 --> 00:05:43,879 supposed to have known about it? He's say no, no. She admitted 68 00:05:43,959 --> 00:05:46,600 later that she suspected him of being mixed up in himself. Things he'd said, 69 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,240 the way he acted. She asked me to help her try to keep 70 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,360 him out of trouble. I think he's already in trouble, Johnny, Yes, 71 00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:56,600 so do I, and I think she does too. What did he 72 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,639 have to say when you talk to him in the pool hall? Several things, 73 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,759 but they added up to two words, get out. When I wouldn't 74 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,040 he did. Why do you think Red well I was killed? Johnny? 75 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,759 Well? I think those kids use his lunch room as a lookout post to 76 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,560 spot the prowl. Carla was patrolling that area as soon as it passed they 77 00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:16,600 pulled the job. Figures all right. I think Red realized it when he 78 00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:19,720 thought back and knew who the kids were. I think that's what he was 79 00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:23,600 going to tell me. So they found out what he was up to and 80 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,879 knocked him off to shut his mouth. Yeah, it ends up, Gursey. 81 00:06:28,199 --> 00:06:34,120 Oh, tell me about her, Carla wants to tell She's just a 82 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:43,360 girl like millions of others, decent, hardworking and real sweet. But there's 83 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,079 something about her, something special. I don't know what. I don't know 84 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:54,879 the words to use, but well it's there. You feel it, and 85 00:06:54,959 --> 00:06:59,160 she's kept it somehow in spite of everything. I guess I know what you 86 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,839 mean. Oh yeah, I told you once, Johnny, I grew up 87 00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:08,199 in that district. I know her rought is, or maybe it's even worse 88 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:14,639 for a girl it is. I know I had a sister. Oh, 89 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,279 I didn't know that she was a lot like this girl Carla once. Then 90 00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:23,480 the district got to her and she got to be more like Carla's brother. 91 00:07:25,079 --> 00:07:29,800 What happened to her? One to five possession of narcotics, a couple of 92 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,079 other pretty rough charges. She she died in the Hatcher be prisoned seven years 93 00:07:34,079 --> 00:07:42,439 ago. I'm sorry. See, I don't want to see this girl Carla 94 00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:45,680 hurt any more than you do, Johnny. Maybe the hurt, will break 95 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,399 her, make her lose that something special. But I've still got to pick 96 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:58,279 up her brother and bring him in for questioning. Expense account Adam eleven a 97 00:07:58,279 --> 00:08:03,000 dollar and ninety cents taxi that while lunch room to see Carla Montey, Lieutenant. 98 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,439 I see. I had a police detail checking known fences and borderline dealers 99 00:08:05,439 --> 00:08:09,399 specializing in furs, but so far none of those contacted had been approached by 100 00:08:09,399 --> 00:08:13,639 any member of the Warehouse gang. Albert Chrisman, the night watchman who had 101 00:08:13,639 --> 00:08:16,480 been slugged during the robbery, was still in a coma, unable to talk, 102 00:08:18,279 --> 00:08:20,639 so Carla remained my best, in fact, my only lead to the 103 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,439 case. The lunch room was closed, I paid off the taxi, walked 104 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,560 three blocks to Carla's apartment house, climbed the stairs, and knocked on her 105 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:37,720 door. Yes, Johnny Doler, I'd like to talk to you, all 106 00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:48,240 right, just a moment coming, Johnny. What were you expecting a major 107 00:08:48,279 --> 00:08:50,279 invasion? I don't know. I don't know what I'm expecting. Easy, 108 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,840 Carl, Easy, It's not the end of the world. Eddie didn't come 109 00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:56,080 home last night. I tried, Johnny, I tried to be a mother 110 00:08:56,159 --> 00:08:58,759 and father both doing. What did I do wrong? Oh? That's the 111 00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:03,519 had a question that doesn't always have an answer. Have you got a drink 112 00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:07,240 in the house? I got anything to drink? Well, there's some brandy, 113 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,759 I think, all right, get it. I don't know if it's 114 00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:13,679 a good brand, It doesn't matter. Bring two glasses. We're out a 115 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,360 couple of stiff ons. No, I don't go ahead and for them, 116 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:22,000 two of them? All right? Is this a snapshot of Eddie when he 117 00:09:22,039 --> 00:09:24,639 was younger? Yeah, he was in junior high school. Then it was 118 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,720 taking at summer camp when he won a middle for swimming. That was the 119 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,639 only year I could afford to send you yard. Thanks, all right, 120 00:09:33,759 --> 00:09:39,000 here's it go not drink it? All of it? All right? Good? 121 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,440 You needed that. Where do you think he is? Johnny? What's 122 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,720 happened to me? Carla? You're going to have to face it sooner or 123 00:09:48,799 --> 00:09:50,799 later, And I kind of think now is the time. What do you 124 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,519 mean? You've been worried, sick for fear your brother would get into some 125 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,559 kind of trouble, and you had reason to worry. It's finally happened. 126 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,679 He's in trouble, all right, plenty of trouble You're not the only one 127 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,559 looking for him. Who else is? Who do you mean John? The 128 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,120 police there's an apb out. They want him for questioning in connection with the 129 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,120 robbery and with the murder of Redweller. Oh Eddie wouldn't kill anyone, Maybe 130 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,840 not, but somebody did, some member of the gang that robbed the warehouse. 131 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,519 And it looks very much as if Eddie is a member. Yes, 132 00:10:18,799 --> 00:10:20,960 I suppose he is. Look, Carly, is there anything you haven't told 133 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,679 me about the robbery? I mean no, no, I I was just 134 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,519 suspicious that song, because if there is, let's have it. It's too 135 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,000 late to protect him now. The sooner he's taken into custody, the less 136 00:10:31,039 --> 00:10:35,200 likelihood of his getting any even deeper. He was out that night. He 137 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:39,399 didn't come home until almost morning. I was worried about it. I knew 138 00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:41,320 it wouldn't do any good to ask you. Do you know who was with 139 00:10:41,399 --> 00:10:43,799 him that night? Who would be the most likely ones to go along on 140 00:10:43,799 --> 00:10:46,200 a deal like that, Any of him, any of those he's been running 141 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,919 around with lately, Any idea what they hang out? Mostly just those two 142 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,399 places I took you to last night, that drive in in the pool hall. 143 00:10:54,159 --> 00:10:56,960 Look if they did pull at robbery, where do you suppose they take 144 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,000 the furst? I don't know. Does Eddie have a car? No, 145 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,480 but some of the other boys do. Carlo, would you mind if I 146 00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:09,200 look through Eddie's room? No, I don't mind. It doesn't matter. 147 00:11:09,759 --> 00:11:16,240 I guess nothing much matters now. It's gone so far. It's Eddie. 148 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,159 He has his own key. Take it easy, Be careful, Johnny, 149 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:26,279 So you're gonna have What the devil are you doing here? Looking for you? 150 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,200 Eddie? Yeah? What for? I think you know, Eddie, 151 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:33,240 Eddie, even gotta give yourself up as I got you to think for this 152 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,919 jam, This insurance that comes around romances up a little in your sum me 153 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,240 right down the river. That's not true. How do you know you were 154 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,960 in a jam? Eddie. I got friends in this neighborhood. They give 155 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,879 me posted the same friends. Tell your redweller was about to make a deal 156 00:11:45,879 --> 00:11:50,639 to talk. You're whistling in the dark. Dollar. Maybe, I imagine 157 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,039 Garcia will find out though, when he gets you down to headquarters. Did 158 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,879 you hand off that phone? So you've got a gun, Eddie? Eddie, 159 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:03,000 don't keep out of this. Move back against that wall. Dollar, 160 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,960 put your hands flying against that while you're keeping there. Give me some clothes, 161 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,679 Carler, come on, make it fast. What are you gonna do? 162 00:12:07,919 --> 00:12:13,840 See? Give me some clothes? All right? You're wrong though, 163 00:12:15,279 --> 00:12:20,679 you're making a big mistake. Eddie. It's no use running. You're lonely 164 00:12:20,759 --> 00:12:24,279 yet, Eddie, what's the matter Down there in the street? A police 165 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:33,519 car just pulled up. You're line. There were your dollars. Chill you, 166 00:12:33,759 --> 00:12:37,799 Carla. You're the one that brought him here, trying to let him 167 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,000 trap me. I'm think I'll pull a bullet in you before I leave. 168 00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:43,639 You'll fire one shot and you won't have a chance. They'll be in here 169 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:48,000 before you can get out of the hallway. You better make up your mind. 170 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,679 Eddy, Well you've still got time. There were you a dollar. 171 00:12:50,279 --> 00:12:54,679 I'll try to come after him. Eddie. Please give yourself off, Eddie 172 00:12:56,519 --> 00:13:01,879 topping, Johnny, I'm afraid it's a little late. Why did you let 173 00:13:01,919 --> 00:13:05,120 him go? There was no choice cover. He'd have killed you if i'd 174 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:09,879 moved. Why did you'd? Better give me that list of his friends. 175 00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:15,840 The police will want it. Heaven help him. Yeah, that's about all 176 00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:37,759 that can help him now, Johnny Doller are the boys and the police car 177 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,759 still there. There are three police cars here now. They've searched the apartment 178 00:13:41,799 --> 00:13:45,600 house from top to bottom. No Eddie got away. I didn't dare make 179 00:13:45,639 --> 00:13:46,799 a move to stop him. He was going to shoot his sister. Well, 180 00:13:46,919 --> 00:13:50,080 we don't get him, Johnny, don't worry about it. I don't 181 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,000 attend to. My job now is to locate one hundred thousand dollars worth of 182 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,000 stolen furs, not to go after Eddy money. It's the same job, 183 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,600 isn't it. Probably did you see that list of his friends Carla gave me. 184 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,759 I just put out an app to bring them in good. They weren't 185 00:14:01,799 --> 00:14:05,799 all in on that warehouse robbery, but some of them were. They we'll 186 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,080 take them. We've got an interrogation room down here to sort the sheep from 187 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,679 the gold. Yeah, I know, but first you got to catch your 188 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:30,000 goats. From Special Investigator Johnny dall a location, Los Angeles, California, 189 00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:35,039 to the home office Mono Guarantee Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut, assignment the 190 00:14:35,159 --> 00:14:45,399 Silver Blue Matter expense account continued, i'dem twelve two cents for the way I 191 00:14:45,559 --> 00:14:48,919 felt. I hung up the phone and walk to the window, stood there 192 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,399 looking out into the street. The police were leaving in the apartment to carry 193 00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:56,240 their search for fugitive Eddy Moody into wider territory, and Eddie's sister Carlos, 194 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:01,960 sat huddled in a corner forlorn, beaten, broken hearted. From the window, 195 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,039 too, the view was anything but cheerful. Dirty clutted streets lined by 196 00:15:05,159 --> 00:15:09,200 row and rows, sagging tenements, drabbing gray in the weakening light of late 197 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:15,720 afternoon. This was the slums that had spawned Eddie Muddy, raised and nurtured 198 00:15:15,759 --> 00:15:18,799 him, made him into a member of a gang, and had now sent 199 00:15:18,879 --> 00:15:22,120 him fleeing from the police with a gun in his hand. And the same 200 00:15:22,159 --> 00:15:24,120 slum had bread the others of the gang who'd robbed a warehouse of Eddy silver 201 00:15:24,159 --> 00:15:28,000 blue mink coats, slug night watchman Albert Grisman into a near death comma, 202 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:35,720 and had murdered a man who tried to give them away. Why Johnny, 203 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,279 what got into him? Why is he ending up this way? I wish 204 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,080 I could tell you, Ka, I did something wrong, that's it, 205 00:15:43,159 --> 00:15:46,320 of course, But forget it. You did all you could wasn't enough. 206 00:15:48,039 --> 00:15:52,799 Sometimes nothing is enough, And nobody knows exactly why I loved him. I 207 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,720 never thought of him is just a nuisance of a kid brother, the way 208 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,639 a lot of girls do. Now. Look, you did more than anybody 209 00:15:58,679 --> 00:16:03,480 could respect. You were a pretty young kid when your folks died, too 210 00:16:03,559 --> 00:16:06,799 young to have to take on the responsibility of raising a teenage brother. But 211 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,799 I tried. I tried hard, and I thought I was doing all right 212 00:16:10,919 --> 00:16:15,559 until lately. So it didn't work. And what's happened is breaking your heart. 213 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,919 Well that can't be changed. But just remember this one thing. You 214 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,320 did the best you could, and that's all anybody could do. So don't 215 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,960 blame you yourself. Tell me something, Johnny. Yeah, you're wearing a 216 00:16:27,039 --> 00:16:30,480 gun. I don't think it. He knew it when he ran from here. 217 00:16:32,799 --> 00:16:34,360 Maybe you couldn't have used it to disarming, not when he was on 218 00:16:34,399 --> 00:16:38,600 the verge of killing you, But you could have drawn it and killed him. 219 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:44,159 He was careless. He gave you several chances. Why didn't you? 220 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:51,279 I don't know. Thank you, Johnny. I'd like to look through Eddie's 221 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,519 room if you don't mind, all right, I'll go with you this way. 222 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,879 It's down the hall. Thanks. Somehow, I still can't believe it. 223 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,240 Not the killing at least Eddie is just not that kind. Well, 224 00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:07,799 a kid gets under precious son of times and gets pushed overboard. Maybe we'll 225 00:17:07,799 --> 00:17:11,880 know more when they pick him up. What if what if he tries to 226 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,559 resist a risk? You know the answer to that? Oh? I hope 227 00:17:15,559 --> 00:17:19,839 he doesn't. Oh, here it is. This has been Eddie's room since 228 00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:23,880 he was thirteen. It ought to tell something. The main thing at the 229 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,680 moment is to find something that tells where he might go to hide out. 230 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,519 I've also got one hundred thousand dollars worth of First I'll kate you. You 231 00:17:30,599 --> 00:17:33,839 go ahead and look around whatever you want. Okay, Thanks, I'll be 232 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:42,880 in the living room. You call me if you want me. For the 233 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,799 sake of company, I switched on a beat up record player in the corner, 234 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,119 and I looked at six years of a boy's life accumulated in one role, 235 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:57,160 comic books, hot rod magazine, school mementos, knickknacks, photographs jump 236 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:02,759 mostly to anybody but the owner. I went through all of it, and 237 00:18:02,839 --> 00:18:07,000 through the drawers and chests and through his clothes. Nothing. I looked over 238 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,960 the photographs stuck in the mirror, attacked on the wall. Some of the 239 00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:12,920 names on the boys pictures were the same as those on the list Carla had 240 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:17,799 given to the police. There were a few pictures of girls and a lot 241 00:18:17,799 --> 00:18:21,880 of pictures of hot rods. I picked up an envelope of loose photographs lying 242 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,559 on the dresser. They were views of a secondhand panel truck, and in 243 00:18:25,599 --> 00:18:27,400 all of the pictures that he was standing beside the truck with obvious pride of 244 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:32,960 ownership. One of the views showed the front license plate. I turned the 245 00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:37,680 envelope over. The film had been developed less than two weeks before. I 246 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,720 called Carla back into the Roman asked her about him. No, no, 247 00:18:41,799 --> 00:18:44,440 I didn't know he had a car or a truck ridding. It may not 248 00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:47,039 be his, but I'll lay odds that it is. That look on his 249 00:18:47,079 --> 00:18:49,960 face as a dead giveaway. I don't know. He sure kept the secret. 250 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,960 He never brought it here once. Do you recognize the background on those 251 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:59,079 pictures? No, no, I don't. It looks like a stewarde yard 252 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:00,839 or an industrial places some kind, doesn't it. Yeah, I'd call it 253 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,079 that. Do you mind if I take these with me? Of course? 254 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,200 Not why the gang had to use something to haul those furs away from the 255 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:14,039 warehouse. If if Eddie was keeping the truck a secret from me. It 256 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,400 was because he was planning to use it for the robbery that one or some 257 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:22,359 other one. Johnny, he was in on it all along. Look, 258 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,000 Carlin, I've got to hunch Eddie as the leader of that gang. I 259 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,240 think the truck was used in the robbery, and I think when we find 260 00:19:29,279 --> 00:19:32,640 it, we'll find the furs and we'll find Eddie. See you later, 261 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:44,400 Carlin. Expense account item thirteen A dollar eighty five taxi fair from Carlo's apartment 262 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:52,720 to the police headquarters office of Lieutenant Garcia. Come in, Oh, Johnny, 263 00:19:52,759 --> 00:19:56,200 I've been trying to look at you. What's up. We picked up 264 00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,559 two of those kids on Carla Monte's lists friends of Eddie's. Ah, it's 265 00:20:00,559 --> 00:20:02,839 a start. Not with one of them, he's in the clear, perfect 266 00:20:02,839 --> 00:20:06,559 alibi. We have something on the other one, though, I want to 267 00:20:06,559 --> 00:20:10,680 help me talk to him. Yeah sure, Oh say, here are some 268 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,960 photographs I picked up in Eddie's room a while ago. We should take a 269 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,160 look at them, Gert. See all right, let's see them. The 270 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,240 pictures were taken about two or three weeks ago. If this truck is his, 271 00:20:21,319 --> 00:20:23,359 his sister doesn't know about it. He sure got that owner look on 272 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,359 his face. Yeah, sure, is that second one there shows the license 273 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,680 nuver see yeah, yeah, I see it. Do you think they might 274 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,079 have used this in the robbery? Johnny, it's a possibility, and we're 275 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,000 not exactly swamp with angles. I was wondering, two of you haven't to 276 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,559 recognize that background behind the truck. No, but it looks like it might 277 00:20:42,599 --> 00:20:47,079 be done in that area somewhere the warehouse district. Look, why don't you 278 00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:48,799 get some copies made, circulate them and see if any of your boys can 279 00:20:48,839 --> 00:20:52,880 tag the place? Or are you insurance sticks? Do get ideas? Sometimes 280 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,720 you'd be amazed. All right, I'll do it, and now let's go 281 00:20:56,799 --> 00:21:07,039 down and talk to that kid. Interrogation Room five nineteen was on the fifth 282 00:21:07,079 --> 00:21:11,039 floor, air walls painted gray, A business like room without a dormant, 283 00:21:11,079 --> 00:21:15,079 a compromise for any's only with the necessary table, chairs and lights. We 284 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,680 stopped in the ante room and looked in through the one way glass window. 285 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,400 The boy waited alone at the interrogation table, trying to put up a tough, 286 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,680 defiant front, but failing by the tremble of a lip and the occasional 287 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:33,119 flick of his eyes. Let's go in a kid stiffened when he heard the 288 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,640 door open, but he didn't turn around. He just sat there at the 289 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:42,079 table, braced and waiting. You can take that chair at the side, 290 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:49,880 Johnny. Okay, thanks. What's your name? Maori? Nord I said, 291 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:56,119 what's your name? Mario Centauris? That's your right name? Yeah? 292 00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,359 Where do you live? Rockxman place? My aunt and arrested before Mario. 293 00:22:00,599 --> 00:22:08,880 No, you've got kind of a bad memory, haven't you. Why September 294 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:15,119 of last year, arrest made by officer C. J. Barton Chudge possession 295 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,519 of stolen articles pubcap to auto radios one camera. Wasn't convicted, I asked 296 00:22:19,559 --> 00:22:22,680 if you'd ever been arrested. It's not convicted. It was a frame up. 297 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:29,039 I didn't have any evidence, apparently not. Witnesses for the prosecution refused 298 00:22:29,079 --> 00:22:33,799 to testify. Case dismissed. Yeah, what are you going to claim this 299 00:22:33,839 --> 00:22:37,279 time? Mario? Another frame up? I don't know why you brought me 300 00:22:37,319 --> 00:22:40,759 in here. I don't know anything about anything. That bad memory again, 301 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,440 I just don't know what you're talking about. It's lucky for us that any 302 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,519 money had such a good memory. Yes, what about it? What do 303 00:22:49,519 --> 00:22:55,880 you mean? Is he a friend of yours. He's got a fine memory. 304 00:22:55,880 --> 00:23:00,319 That boy too bad. You can't remember things the way he does talking 305 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,440 about Well, that's true, all right, Eddie remembers everything that happened, 306 00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:07,200 what he did, What Mario did? I don't know what you mean. 307 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,559 Well that's because of your bad memory, Mario. Why Eddie remembers the name 308 00:23:11,599 --> 00:23:14,160 of every boy who was in on that job and just what each one of 309 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,200 them did? What job? That warehouse robbery? Have you forgotten about that? 310 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,759 I don't know anything about any robbery. Well there's been a lot of 311 00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:25,759 talk. At least you've heard about it, haven't you. I don't know 312 00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:29,400 anything about it. Maybe you've just forgotten. I don't know what you're talking 313 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,160 about. When did you see Eddie last? I don't remember. Have you 314 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,960 seen him since the robbery? No? How can you be sure? You 315 00:23:36,039 --> 00:23:41,960 said you hadn't heard of any robbery? Why I haven't? Still you haven't 316 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:48,960 seen Eddie since the robbery? Come on, Mario, tell us about it. 317 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,440 I guess maybe I did hear about it, so well, why shouldn't 318 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,160 I hear? It was in the papers? Everybody's been talking about it, 319 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:00,599 So what if I did hear? I don't prove anything he said you hadn't 320 00:24:00,599 --> 00:24:06,960 heard, so I forgot guy? Can forget something candy? Yeah, if 321 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,799 he's got a bad memory, can Mario's got a real bad memory, Johnny? 322 00:24:10,839 --> 00:24:14,200 Not Eddie, though, he remembers how you guys loaded those furs into 323 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,359 his truck. Are you waited across the street and read wellers until the prowl 324 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:21,000 car passed? How you slugg the night watch when Albert Christmas? That's a 325 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,960 lie? How do you know it is? Mario? You don't even remember 326 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:29,240 it? Eddie does, though, he even remembers the next night when you 327 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,559 stamped read Well as a death to keep him from coming to me. No, 328 00:24:33,559 --> 00:24:36,559 No, I didn't do that. Of course you did. You don't 329 00:24:36,599 --> 00:24:38,160 think Eddie would lie, do you? It's not true? It makes sense 330 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,200 to us. Is Eddie here? Do you pick him up? How would 331 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,119 we know what he remembers unless we picked him up? Now? How do 332 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,160 you think we got your name out of the telephone Book's not true? What 333 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,359 Eddie says? Well, if you've got anything to say, well listen to 334 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,759 it. But I don't think it's necessary, do you, Johnny? No? 335 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,559 I think Eddie remembers everything. Let's get out of here. Yeah, 336 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:07,920 he's lying. Who listen to me, I'll tell you the truth. I'll 337 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:29,920 get a stenographer, Johnny Daller speaking Lieutenant Garcia's office. Johnny, you're the 338 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,279 one I was trying to reach. This is Carlin Monte Oh. I was 339 00:25:33,319 --> 00:25:37,559 going to phind you later. What's happening yet? Not yet, But the 340 00:25:37,599 --> 00:25:40,720 police picked up one of his friends, Mario Sentrres. Mario, I know 341 00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:44,440 him, but he's been to the apartment lots of times. Was he and 342 00:25:44,519 --> 00:25:47,759 on the robbery? Yes? He just made a statement admitting it. And 343 00:25:48,599 --> 00:25:52,240 what did he say about my brother? He says, Eddie is the one 344 00:25:52,279 --> 00:25:56,559 who planned the whole thing. Must be lying. No, Garcia and I 345 00:25:56,559 --> 00:26:00,680 are pretty sure he's telling the truth. I'm sorry, Carlin. I'm coming 346 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,559 down to headquarters. Johnny. There's no use. There's nothing you can do 347 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,000 here. At least I can be there when they bring him in or whatever 348 00:26:07,039 --> 00:26:11,400 hep They won't help. You're better off at home now, Please, some 349 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,960 of the fault must be mine. I can't desert him. I'm going to 350 00:26:15,039 --> 00:26:33,559 be there if he needs me, Okay, Carlin. From Special Investigator Johnny 351 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:38,000 Dollar location, Los Angeles, California, to the home office Motel Guarantee insurance 352 00:26:38,039 --> 00:26:44,839 Company, Hartford, Connecticut. Assignment the Silver Blue Matter expense account final page 353 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:52,759 one hundred thousand dollars worth of fur coats, silver blue minks, stolen in 354 00:26:52,839 --> 00:26:56,319 a warehouse robbery and still missing. A night watchman slugg during the robbery by 355 00:26:56,319 --> 00:27:00,359 one of the teenage gangs, still lying in a coma, unable to speak 356 00:27:00,079 --> 00:27:03,559 and read weller. A man who tried to speak lay in the county Morgue, 357 00:27:03,559 --> 00:27:07,759 stabbed to death in a dark alley. But now one of the gang 358 00:27:07,759 --> 00:27:11,279 had been arrested, a seventeen year old named Mario Sentauris, and he'd finally 359 00:27:11,319 --> 00:27:15,480 talked. Sitting in Garcia's office, I read Mario's statement through for the second 360 00:27:15,519 --> 00:27:22,799 time. Well what do you think, Johnny? I think the kid was 361 00:27:22,839 --> 00:27:26,960 telling the truth. Eddie Mahdi scraped up enough money to buy that secondhand panel 362 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,559 truck and then talked the other kids in the knocking over the warehouse. That 363 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,680 ties in with what Eddie's sister said that he kept the truck a secret, 364 00:27:33,799 --> 00:27:36,359 hadn't told her about it, and also the fact that Eddie seems to be 365 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,039 a born leader type. They even mentioned it in one of his former records 366 00:27:40,039 --> 00:27:42,240 of arrest. Yeah, I think we can buy it that Eddie Monday is 367 00:27:42,279 --> 00:27:45,240 the leader of the gang, all right. They picked at night. They 368 00:27:45,319 --> 00:27:48,680 cased the place from Redweller's lunch rum across the street, and as soon as 369 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,799 the Prowl car passed, they made their move. They got the watchman, 370 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,240 Albert Krisman, to open the door by showing him a fake telegram through the 371 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,640 window. That's another thing that checks out. Mario studied Johnny. Mario claims 372 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,279 he's the one who showed the telegraph. That's right. Chrisman kept saying. 373 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:03,839 Kid with a mark on his arm, and Mario's got a bad scar on 374 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,319 his left wrist. That's what they mean. It checks out. Mario didn't 375 00:28:07,319 --> 00:28:10,079 know what Chrisman had told us, all right, So the gun inside and 376 00:28:10,079 --> 00:28:12,079 then, according to Mario's version, it was Eddie Mardy who slugged the watchman. 377 00:28:12,279 --> 00:28:15,279 Probably true. Then they jumped the other watchman in the dark and started 378 00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:18,759 hauling out the furs, loading them into the truck of Eddie's. They knew 379 00:28:18,759 --> 00:28:22,200 they had forty five minutes before the Parl car came back through. By that 380 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,200 time they'd finished and split up, Eddie driving their truck away alone, and 381 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,039 the others disappearing on foot. Yeah. I think that's about the size of 382 00:28:29,079 --> 00:28:32,119 it. And I think Mario's telling the truth when he says neither he nor 383 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,839 any of the others know Eddie planned to hide out the truck and read Weller, 384 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,079 according to Mario, is murdered by another gang member. What was his 385 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,680 name? Juwi Moreo. Yeah, that's true. Eddie Monty is at least 386 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,720 clean on the murder charge. If it's true, all you can tag him 387 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,880 on is robbery and a soul on that watchman. I'm kind of glad of 388 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:52,920 it, Johnny. I feel sorry for that sister, So do I. 389 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:56,400 She's a good kid and she's carrying a real load of guilt. Thinks that 390 00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:00,359 she's responsible in somewey Oh, she was only nine herself when their folks died. 391 00:29:00,519 --> 00:29:03,440 How could she be expected to hold him in line? And especially in 392 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,640 that district. She's on her way down here by the way. Yeah, 393 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,720 yeah, yeah, I tried to talk her out of him. Oh maybe 394 00:29:11,759 --> 00:29:14,440 she's as well off hanging around here. Though she is waiting alone in that 395 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,839 apartment. It's a rough deal for her no matter where she waits. Well, 396 00:29:17,839 --> 00:29:18,920 at least we can tell her her brother's not in quite as deep as 397 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:26,559 we can. Excuse me, gotta see us speaking good. Who's the other 398 00:29:26,599 --> 00:29:29,240 one? Yeah? Yeah, bring them on in and book them. I'll 399 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:37,720 talk to them later. And now we what when? All right? Keep 400 00:29:37,759 --> 00:29:41,799 in touch with me. The boys just picked up Chui Morrell and the other 401 00:29:41,839 --> 00:29:48,440 two and Leaves just wanted to go. Yeah, the big one, he's 402 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,640 even bigger now, Johnny, what do you mean that watchman? Eddie slugged 403 00:29:52,880 --> 00:30:00,680 Albert Chrisman? What about him? He just died. It was a different 404 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,480 thing. We had to tell Carla when she arrived at headquarters, not that 405 00:30:03,519 --> 00:30:07,599 her brother would probably get off on a lesser charge, but instead that an 406 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,240 app was out that every officer in town had been worn be on the lookout 407 00:30:11,279 --> 00:30:15,359 for Eddie Monty, aged nineteen, armed and dangerous, wanted for murder, 408 00:30:21,559 --> 00:30:25,240 expensive count Adam fifteen twelve dollars and fifty cents rent on a hired car. 409 00:30:25,839 --> 00:30:29,400 One of Garcia's boys was certain that the background appearing in the photograph of Eddie's 410 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,240 truck was somewhere in his district, but he couldn't tag the exact spot, 411 00:30:32,799 --> 00:30:36,799 so I decided to cruise that area street by street Carlo Monty, Eddie Systet 412 00:30:36,799 --> 00:30:44,680 went along with me. There's an alley off to the right, Johnny, 413 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,039 it might be worth a look. Yeah, it runs back toward a lumber 414 00:30:48,079 --> 00:30:51,759 yard there. That could be a lumber yard in the background of that photograph. 415 00:30:52,559 --> 00:30:57,720 Well, we'll give it a try. This isn't it, Johnny. 416 00:30:59,359 --> 00:31:03,000 Sally makes it right angle turn there before it even gets to the lumber yards. 417 00:31:03,039 --> 00:31:03,920 Oh, we may as well check it on through. It seems to 418 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,920 run clear on down to the railroad yards. Please let us find him. 419 00:31:07,519 --> 00:31:11,599 If it's the police, he'll fight and he'll kill someone else, be killed 420 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,680 himself. Me. It's out of your hands now, Carl. It's gotta 421 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,079 work itself out in its own way. There's nothing to watch. Anybody can 422 00:31:18,119 --> 00:31:22,240 do to stop it or change it. I know, Johnny, I keep 423 00:31:22,279 --> 00:31:25,960 trying to fool myself all the time. I know. Well, all you're 424 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:30,440 gonna do is hop Look that fence ahead of us there next to the railroad 425 00:31:30,519 --> 00:31:33,759 yards, and it could be the fence in these pictures. Looks the same. 426 00:31:33,279 --> 00:31:36,960 And that storage shed there at the right that's in one of the shots. 427 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,519 And that pile of oil drums this is it, Carla. This is 428 00:31:40,519 --> 00:31:44,000 where those films were taken. The truck was parked right at the corner of 429 00:31:44,039 --> 00:31:48,359 that shed. Well, it looks as though that off chance paid off. 430 00:31:48,759 --> 00:31:52,319 I'm scared, Johnny, now that it's so close, I'm scared. Don't 431 00:31:52,319 --> 00:31:55,759 be by off chance. I meant just finding the place. He may not 432 00:31:55,839 --> 00:31:57,799 have come back here since the day those pictures were taken. You don't believe 433 00:31:57,839 --> 00:32:01,079 that. And you know it, Carla. That house back at the corner 434 00:32:01,119 --> 00:32:04,759 has a phone. There's a wire running in for the pole. Go back 435 00:32:04,759 --> 00:32:07,319 there and use it to call Lieutenant Garcia. Give him the location and tell 436 00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:08,640 him to hit the radio and have this whole area blocked off. Got it. 437 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:12,599 Tell him to cover the railroad yard too, so up this whole section 438 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,920 tight and tell him to make it fast. Yeah. Eddie may be watching 439 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:22,160 us from around here, somewhere right this minute. I waited until she'd gone. 440 00:32:22,839 --> 00:32:25,000 Then I got out of the car and walked towards the shed and the 441 00:32:25,039 --> 00:32:30,599 sagging wooden fence that bordered the railroad yards. It was nearly dark now. 442 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,799 The high floodlights had been turned on above the criss cross network of gleaming steel 443 00:32:34,799 --> 00:32:37,960 tracks, shadows by tricks at such a time of evening, and I got 444 00:32:38,079 --> 00:32:43,079 sudden movements now and then from the corner of my eyes, But yet nothing 445 00:32:43,119 --> 00:32:45,440 really moved, and the only sound was the sound of my own footsteps. 446 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:52,319 I stopped several times and stood watching and listening, but nothing moved. There 447 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:57,559 was only silence. I reached the door of the long wooden shed and found 448 00:32:57,559 --> 00:33:00,880 it padlocked. Looking in through a broken and do I could see the lock 449 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,960 didn't matter. The shed was empty and long abandoned. Between it and the 450 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,839 fence was a drive leaning towards the little rear, and behind the shed in 451 00:33:07,839 --> 00:33:12,000 a loading area. I found it. He struck, and in the back 452 00:33:12,039 --> 00:33:15,920 of it was one hundred thousand dollars worth of first All right, dollar, 453 00:33:16,599 --> 00:33:22,440 gets your hands up, Eddie. You're in a rut. That's the first 454 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,279 thing you said to me the last time we met. I gotta killed you 455 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:30,279 there in that A partner hasn't one killing enough. I don't suppose you know 456 00:33:30,359 --> 00:33:34,119 it, but Albert Chrisman died this afternoonner I no, I got a radio 457 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,880 in the truck there. That's where you've been hiding out all the time. 458 00:33:37,039 --> 00:33:39,880 If I wanted to answer questions, I go turn myself in. You may 459 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:44,680 be better off in the long run if you do, get you here alone? 460 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,799 No, no, your sisters with me? Oh the what does she 461 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,559 want to do? Watch me get it? Why don't you give me that 462 00:33:50,559 --> 00:33:52,200 gun? Eddie? It's only a matter of time. You know that you 463 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:57,200 don't have a chance. Oh I think I got a pretty good chance right 464 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,599 here in my hands. Chance at what to break Carlo's heart? Smash her 465 00:34:00,599 --> 00:34:02,279 into the dirt killer? Maybe? What more do you want to do to 466 00:34:02,359 --> 00:34:07,000 her before you through? I'm not planning to be through. Oh that's great, 467 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,320 But the police are doing some planning of their own. They gotta find 468 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:14,719 me first. I found you, didn't I I got to kill you right 469 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,599 where you're standing. Is that all you gotta think about, Eddie? To 470 00:34:16,679 --> 00:34:22,079 kill somebody and go on killing until one of them kills you. Think about 471 00:34:22,119 --> 00:34:25,039 Carla, if you want to think about something, think about the things she's 472 00:34:25,039 --> 00:34:29,599 done for you, the year she's worked for You're worried about you, and 473 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:34,159 that dame was born to worry. Nobody's born to worry. They inherit worries 474 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,079 like you were inherited by her. I didn't ask her to do it. 475 00:34:37,159 --> 00:34:40,719 Life didn't give her any choice. But it's too late now to talk about 476 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,320 that. It's all over ready, this is the wind up. Come on, 477 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,119 I'll give yourself up. You haven't got a chance, and I would 478 00:34:46,119 --> 00:34:51,199 have if I gave myself up. Don't you hand me that stuff. The 479 00:34:51,199 --> 00:34:53,639 police have got this whole section surrounded. Carla went to call him twenty minutes 480 00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:58,360 ago. I thought you were trying to hand me. Keep your mushut, 481 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,440 Eddie. You don't have a chance. Be careful. Let he's here. 482 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,639 I hit the dirt and roll under the truck and came up on the other 483 00:35:06,639 --> 00:35:08,360 side with my gun in my hand. I could hear ready running away, 484 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:12,840 but I couldn't tell where he was. Yeah, I'm all right. Eddie 485 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,519 went over the fence into the yards here the corner of the shed. Come 486 00:35:15,519 --> 00:35:17,920 on, let's go after him. He take it through. I've got been 487 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,239 working this way from the other side, back there somewhere. Come on, 488 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:23,360 we can get through the fence here. Carla, stay where you are, 489 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,920 don't follow us. There, he goes, Johnny behind that line of freak 490 00:35:27,039 --> 00:35:29,280 all right, come on, he can't get too far that way. There's 491 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,320 a train coming there, he goes. He's gonna try to beat it. 492 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:57,480 The crazy Come on, I don't know Johnny, there must be better ways 493 00:35:57,599 --> 00:36:06,880 today.

Johnny Deller, Roy Rolin speaking Welcome Back the Silver Blue Matter. 510 00:39:39,519 --> 00:39:45,159 In many ways feels like a throwback. I could imagine this story being told 511 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:51,800 in the O'Brien era. It's a heartbreaking story that only offers glimmers of hope 512 00:39:52,159 --> 00:39:55,599 in order to extinguish them. Take episode five, when it's revealed that the 513 00:39:55,679 --> 00:40:00,800 lunch counter owner was killed by Number, the member of the gang, only 514 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:05,400 for it to be revealed a minute later that the guard died. The story 515 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:10,480 serves to highlight the challenges of life and the slums and anyone trying to live 516 00:40:10,519 --> 00:40:16,360 a decent life there or raise a family. The ending leisure really feeling for 517 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:22,480 Carla and all that she's gone through. It's a story that raises issues but 518 00:40:22,559 --> 00:40:29,440 doesn't offer any easy answers or ready made villains. Carlo's closing remarks left the 519 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:34,800 audience with something to think about without telling them what to think. Of course, 520 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,800 these are difficult issues, many of which continue to this day. This 521 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:44,199 is a story that could just as easily be told in a modern setting with 522 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:51,440 iPhones rather than for coats. It's also interesting that practically as soon as Johnny 523 00:40:51,519 --> 00:40:55,599 got back to Hartford from The Calicles Matter, he was on his way on 524 00:40:55,679 --> 00:41:01,480 another plane back to Los Angeles. Of course, these two serials, while 525 00:41:01,559 --> 00:41:07,360 set in the same city, are practically in different worlds. It's an interesting 526 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:13,039 contrast, though I'm not sure it's intentional, given that it's never brought up, 527 00:41:13,519 --> 00:41:16,840 and it may just have been a matter of how the scheduling works and 528 00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:22,760 how writers got their scripts completed. On a lighter note, Richard Krenna is 529 00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:29,000 the actor who played the other kid in the Gang Mario in episode four. 530 00:41:29,519 --> 00:41:35,920 Today, Krenna is probably best remembered for playing Colonel Trautman in the Rambo films, 531 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,760 among many other fine performances in his long career. However, in nineteen 532 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:45,760 fifty six, he was best known for playing ar Miss Brooks squeaky voice. 533 00:41:46,159 --> 00:41:54,039 Student admirer Walter Denton and I have actually, since the first time I played 534 00:41:54,079 --> 00:41:59,960 this serial, and I think it was twenty fourteen, I've listened to every 535 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:06,119 episode of our Miss Brooks, and that leads to an interesting effect Whakrana did 536 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:12,559 his best to vary the marial voice enough for a dramatic story and for the 537 00:42:12,599 --> 00:42:16,199 fact that he was playing a young hoodlum. I kept hearing touches of Walter 538 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:22,960 Denton, and my mind was thinking that Mario was dark. Walter Denton add 539 00:42:22,039 --> 00:42:25,639 it all right? We turned out a listener comments and feedback, and we 540 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:31,800 go over to YouTube where Brian comments on the La Douglas Douglas of Heather Scope 541 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:36,920 Matter. Brian rights, I might be in the minority Adam, but Laird 542 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,480 Douglas is one of my favorites of the five parters. It starts out so 543 00:42:40,639 --> 00:42:46,360 lighthearted, and Bob Bailey and Harry Bartel have such wonderful chemistry as Johnny and 544 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:52,519 Harry Guy interrupting Harry with his right before Harry can get cranked up. It's 545 00:42:52,599 --> 00:42:59,320 hysterical. Yet Janette Nolan, who comes across as one of the three Good 546 00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:05,000 Fairies her about eighty percent of all five episodes, does an outbout face and 547 00:43:05,039 --> 00:43:10,800 goes full maleficent in episode five where she says, mister Dollar, how much 548 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:15,559 do you want? The only thing that was missing was a fire breathing dragon. 549 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:20,519 Great episode, and you add him as always do a phenomenal job. 550 00:43:20,679 --> 00:43:24,079 Well, thank you so much, Brian, and I really appreciate your perspective 551 00:43:24,159 --> 00:43:29,559 because obviously we've had some listeners who didn't care for it much, and even 552 00:43:29,679 --> 00:43:34,880 I've had a few issues with it, but I appreciate that you enjoyed it. 553 00:43:35,039 --> 00:43:39,559 And really, I think that most of the criticism of the story comes 554 00:43:39,599 --> 00:43:45,199 down to the fact that it does have some flaws, and of course everything 555 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:51,320 does, and the question is always to what degree you do the flaws ruin 556 00:43:51,639 --> 00:43:58,360 or at least lessen your enjoyment of something that's otherwise entertaining, And that's really 557 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,760 an individual judgment, and I think you did point out some really good strong 558 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:09,440 points with that story, and I do enjoy Harry Bartel and Bob Bailey as 559 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:15,760 Harry and Johnny, perhaps more than some listeners do, so thank you so 560 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:20,519 much.

But he wouldn't listen. He kept holding 571 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:22,920 me by this ground, beating me when he fists like he enjoined Yah, 572 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:24,480 all right, all right, missus Jameson, could you tell us how he 573 00:45:24,519 --> 00:45:31,360 got in the house the door and ranked the bell.

He said he was a policeman. 575 00:45:37,199 --> 00:45:39,039 So when he missed and I opened the door all the way I did. 576 00:45:40,559 --> 00:45:46,800 Yes, And you can't describe the man for us, Missus Jameson.
