our Listener support slash listener in our Appreciations

6
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:03,239
specials, and we're going to do
something that's been popular the last a few

7
00:01:03,319 --> 00:01:10,400
years, and that is our twice
Told Tale specials, where we will play

8
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:17,239
two episodes where the second episode was
adapted from the script used in the first

9
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:22,519
episode. We're going to start out
today with an episode of The New Adventures

10
00:01:22,519 --> 00:01:26,760
of Michael Shane starring Jeff Chandler.
Now as a refresher. The New Adventures

11
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:34,599
of Michael Shane was a twenty six
week syndicated series, and it's very difficult

12
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:40,560
to determine which episode aired first or
when the first air date was, although

13
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:46,280
most of the episodes were probably played
in nineteen forty seven. The title of

14
00:01:46,319 --> 00:02:00,480
this one is the Case of the
Crooked Wheel. A big gunn his hand

15
00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:04,480
turned over and over, he leaned
his face close to mind, hissing softly

16
00:02:04,519 --> 00:02:07,640
between his teeth. It was a
face that held all the evil in the

17
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,360
world. It kind of gets up
close when somebody's going to die. Suddenly

18
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,000
everything shattered in front of me,
like a bub smashed against a rock.

19
00:02:14,439 --> 00:02:16,919
I got the last funny flash.
Michael Shane, a guy head deep and

20
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:35,879

Crooked Wheel. Mister Private Detective. Thanks,

24
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,360
It's beginning to wonder whether that one
lining classified was worth a price.

25
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,919
I observe, mister detective, a
man who has journey to an estrange land.

why did you try? Dark?
Hollow down the hall, he's a psychologist.

32

There you can lie down and talk
about your troubles. Please please,

33
00:03:39,639 --> 00:03:43,319
Perhaps I should come to the point. No, yeah, make things a

00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,759
a living like that? Well,
two days ago I asked myself the same

44
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,839
question. There is no future in
it. So I come to see you.

losing money? Simple, is it not?

00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,279

I a's one hundred pacos. Plain

52
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,519
detectiv Now, will you come sure? Just one thing, mister Pequito.

53
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,800
You said you wanted me to save
you from yourself. What did you mean?

54
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,160
Observe me where mister Detectivachin? Yeah? Do I appear as a person

55
00:05:13,199 --> 00:05:19,199
who could cut a man's heart out? No, I, Ramon Paquito could

56
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:24,079
do it with a smile on my
lips. Yes, mister Detectivachin. If

57
00:05:24,079 --> 00:05:27,600
what I suspect is true, I
could. I would whistle a song sentimental

58
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:34,920
while I commit the murder. Just
a moment, we'll return to the New

59
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:53,839
Adventures of Michael Shane and the Case
of the Crooked Whale. The airplane trip

60
00:05:53,879 --> 00:05:57,439
across the Gulf gave Senor Ramot Pequito. At the time he needed to fill

61
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,160
in the details. Somebody had a
m to beat his roulette wheels. Another

62
00:06:01,199 --> 00:06:05,000
couple of weeks of the process and
Roman would be wearing a serapi and horoxis

63
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:10,360
instead of a double breasted pinstrip,
all of which had made him angry enough

64
00:06:10,399 --> 00:06:14,920
to want to kill whoever was out
smarting him. We landed late the next

65
00:06:14,959 --> 00:06:18,279
afternoon. Signor registered me at the
Hotel Blanco, gave me directions how to

66
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:23,839
reach the casino later, and then
took off. I decided to give the

67
00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:28,040
town a world before it was time
to punch the clock. Shops on Avenue

68
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,040
and Nacionale were a sight to see, but I couldn't afford much looking.

69
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,879
I settled for a Mexican style backscratcher, then wandered down a side street for

70
00:06:35,959 --> 00:06:41,079
local color. It was just when
I hit the first block of wooden shacks

71
00:06:41,079 --> 00:06:46,399
that two things happened. Suddenly it
wasn't daylight anymore, and suddenly I wasn't

72
00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:49,759
alone. Picturesque guy sleep for the
goat and a flock of chickens. They

73
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:53,319
call it picturesque. I'll be a
big tourist like you, gets bang out

74
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,920
there. Look, mister, your
name's Shane. No, it's Poncho,

75
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,199
Poncho Diablo taken hugo quick that separated
itself from a lot of other shadows.

76
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,720
Wasn't quite as tall as a gorilla, but it was a yard wider.

77
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:09,079
Lunch taught me and spun me around. It felt like I was trying to

78
00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:12,079
blang my way out of a rubber
beach ball. And then the thing stopped

79
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,720
playing. It hoisted me by the
neck off my feet and started to squeeze.

80
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,519
A bead of light explode in front
of my brain like a billion nickels.

81
00:07:18,519 --> 00:07:32,920
And then then somebody had sense enough
to pull down the curtain. I

82
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:40,240
first thought was it It's a lousy
place to be dead, in filthy room

83
00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:46,480
with a naked electric bulb dangling from
the ceiling. I tried to focus,

84
00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:50,240
but it was too tough getting through
the pain. Something was playing tricks of

85
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,600
my hair. I curved my eyes
backwards, and then I knew for sure

86
00:07:54,639 --> 00:07:59,519
I'd been killed. It was an
angel leaning over me. Time might be

87
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,680
able to make at the wings such
a pretty man. Open your eyes,

88
00:08:01,759 --> 00:08:09,199
Chico there feeling better. You're a
very lucky man. It's shake. In

89
00:08:09,279 --> 00:08:11,199
a few more seconds, your neck
would have been broken. Then both of

90
00:08:11,279 --> 00:08:16,560
us would have been unhappy, You
and I who are you? Anything?

91
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,199
You like Chico? Whatever? Stud
you? That's a real dramatic touch change.

92
00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:24,920
But who are How did I get
here? I am Gabby? That's

93
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,800
all you need to know. No, I need to know all that more

94
00:08:28,959 --> 00:08:31,160
like how did you get here?
Like? How do you know who I

95
00:08:31,199 --> 00:08:35,159
am? Simple Chico? They carry
you up here and went through your pockets.

96
00:08:35,639 --> 00:08:37,399
That would have killed you. Said, I have a better idea,

97
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,559
Like what use that return ticket to
New Orleans? You can't get a meal

98
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,039
in mak or City like you can. Look, Angela, let's stop playing

99
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,240
patty cake. Who are those guys
who jump me? Then you see them?

100
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,039
No, no, it was still
dark. All the register was a

101
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,320
guy who talked lazy in a shadow. It must have been Charlie Atlas's price

102
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,919
pupil. But then you are lucky. You better forget this whole rotten business.

103
00:09:00,159 --> 00:09:03,559
Go home like a good boy?
Who said anything about being a good

104
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,320
boy? You hardly look in any
condition to exert yourself. Oh come here,

105
00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:16,240
I hate you. Yeah, now
they were practically soul mates. Gaby,

106
00:09:16,279 --> 00:09:20,480
start lying to me, starts from
the beginning and making a good story.

107
00:09:20,759 --> 00:09:22,759
What are you doing about? Who
are you? And what's this all?

108
00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:26,279
About go home now, look,
Angel, go home, mister Shane,

109
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,759
go home before they pick you out
of the gather and put you the

110
00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:37,960
bed on a slab with a tag
around your top. And she wasn't killing

111
00:09:37,799 --> 00:09:41,000
did something frightening. I watched that
angel face tightening on a lot of hard

112
00:09:41,039 --> 00:09:43,960
lines. I know I couldn't get
any answers out of her, So I

113
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:48,559
helped the cabin where I figured there
might be something. The Pequito Casino,

114
00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:52,200
Raymond Pequito soul and legitimate proprietor.
He saw me as I came through the

115
00:09:52,279 --> 00:09:58,399
door, Shane, I's saying,
no, you look lousy. Yeah.

116
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,200
A couple of t as planet hoodlums
felt like playing tag I was here.

117
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,639
Ah, that is very sad.
Well, in any case, you see,

118
00:10:05,759 --> 00:10:09,039
I have quite an establishment here,
mister detective. It would grieve me

119
00:10:09,039 --> 00:10:16,960
if I had to part with it. Yeah, say Mark Momento, come

120
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,840
here, Pablo will take your place. I want to talk with you.

121
00:10:18,919 --> 00:10:22,879
Mark, somebody special, Mark Hagan, the best croupier Michico. Mark.

122
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,600
This is mister Michael Sheen, a
friend of mine. I show him around,

123
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,039
Mark, show him every quire.
Sure, I'm glad to know mister

124
00:10:28,039 --> 00:10:30,879
Shehan. You're from the States.
I leave you, gentlemen, now,

125
00:10:31,039 --> 00:10:33,759
there's much I gonna see your phone. Fine Town, Orleans. Sometimes I

126
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,320
got a yend to get back there, just to see how fine it really

127
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,679
is. This joint with gentleman Hagan. Oh, it's as square as a

128
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,679
box twenty one. You hit sixteen
hole, seventeen dies but him anyway you

129
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:50,759
like with the house or against a
couple of let wheels they gaped. Did

130
00:10:50,759 --> 00:10:54,279
Pequido tell you to ask me those
questions? It's nasty rooma going on around.

131
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,159
Left wheels can be rigged against the
house. Yeah, I don't like

132
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,320
you, mister Shane. I don't
know who you are or what you've got

133
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,960
on your mind, but I don't
play like that. The Chito is my

134
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,639
friend. Okay, I'm sorry.
So I made a mistake. I tried

135
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:15,240
now I was wrong. No hard
feelings, plenty of hard feelings, mister

136
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,200
Shane. I think I'd like it
better back at the table. You can

137
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:26,200
look around by yourself. So I
did. As far as I could see,

138
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,759
nobody was dealing second cards. The
dice didn't shimmy after they hit the

139
00:11:28,759 --> 00:11:31,919
back of wood, and the roulette
wheels were giving the house better than even

140
00:11:31,919 --> 00:11:37,639
break and then she walked in gappy
angel facing an evening down There wouldn't quit,

141
00:11:39,159 --> 00:11:43,360
all smooth and round and cotton candy
blom hair. She stood in the

142
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,960
door. I looked around the room, then nodded slightly. Little guy in

143
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,039
a fun colored dinner jacket and fitted
in like a dream. I walked up

144
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,240
to him, watched the frown brow
at the corners of her mouth. You

145
00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:56,000
fool, get out of here.
Ten years ago I had a vision about

146
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,279
a woman who looked like you.
You don't know what you're doing. There

147
00:11:58,399 --> 00:12:01,399
a lot of women, be a
lot of kinds of women. I don't

148
00:12:01,399 --> 00:12:05,320
know whether I like that. En
We're don't scared easily be, mister Shane,

149
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,879
not very Should I be scared?
Shoot yourself your l Yeah, and

150
00:12:09,919 --> 00:12:11,960
I expect to take it back with
me the gind I phrase, mister Shane,

151
00:12:13,159 --> 00:12:15,639
I make book on that, and
I'll coin one right back at you.

152
00:12:15,759 --> 00:12:20,960
Angel five will get you ten.
Ask the Maniana really only for you

153
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:30,720
tomorrow won't happen. I watched a
sway the path through the ankle deep road

154
00:12:30,759 --> 00:12:33,279
to the black jack table. She
bought some chips and busied herself with the

155
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,039
game. I took a stand at
the roulette wheel next to the fun colored

156
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:45,399
jacket, and watch. It's something
to see men and women expensively dressed with

157
00:12:45,519 --> 00:12:48,039
that same look of fascination you see
around the cock fighting back of a bunnet

158
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,559
sink grown number five on the black. Oh, I'm sorry, senor,

159
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,879
you traced your money after the ball
had settled. The house cannot accept you

160
00:12:56,919 --> 00:12:58,279
a bit. What are you talking
about? I had that hundred base hell

161
00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:01,279
built down before you started to spin. I'm sorry, Senor, but that

162
00:13:01,399 --> 00:13:03,919
is not so. What kind of
a two bed choint is us? Anyway?

163
00:13:03,919 --> 00:13:05,879
Sure I had my money down.
These people will tell you. The

164
00:13:05,919 --> 00:13:09,759
house insists you take back your money, Senor. There is no question about

165
00:13:09,799 --> 00:13:13,879
the honesty of this. Now pay
me, brother for I take his dive

166
00:13:13,919 --> 00:13:18,440
apart you first. Yes, this
gentleman he placed a bed after the wheel

167
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,559
had started. He's tugging to his
hat most hundred per singer. The bill

168
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,639
you laid down on the table,
now, if you please get out,

169
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:33,320
And he did too quickly. The
big guy folded the bill carefully, winked,

170
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,559
grinned, and got out. In
another second, I knew the reason

171
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,679
why Vaughan colored jacket was shoveling in
a stack of chips from the number five

172
00:13:39,759 --> 00:13:43,639
square, all according to house rules, except he hadn't bet any chips on

173
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:48,000
the number in the first place.
I ducked out of the casino just in

174
00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:50,799
time to see the big guy disappeared
around the corner. I raced down the

175
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,480
walk, but he was more in
sight, and, like it says in

176
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,720
the corresponding score lessons, I knelt
down to look for footprints in the soft

177
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,919
grass. You're looking for leash?
Should I be as a detective? You're

178
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,919
a phonny. You couldn't detect foul
play if you came across the corpse in

179
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,799
the trunk good enough to figure out
that pitch you pulled back there in the

180
00:14:07,799 --> 00:14:11,120
casino. Give me a reading,
Shane. What did I do? You

181
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,080
and the little man in the dinner
jacket? You threw down a hundred pace

182
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,480
on not with a blue chip underneath
it, You get thrown out. Dinner

183
00:14:16,519 --> 00:14:22,000
jacket collects thirty five to one.
You're a pigeon boy. If I had

184
00:14:22,039 --> 00:14:24,039
made just like it was figured you
would. Can't you talk about that gun

185
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,159
in your hand. It's good for
shooting pigeons right now? You wait a

186
00:14:28,159 --> 00:14:31,519
minute, No mo minute, Shane. You got no more time, but

187
00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:33,399
your lippers, say a prayer,
or just close your eyes and take it.

188
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:39,440
It's yours boy, to hold onto
it. A big gun in his

189
00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:43,159
hand, turned over and over.
He leaned his face close to mine,

190
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,519
hissing softly between his teeth. There's
a face that held only evil in the

191
00:14:46,559 --> 00:14:50,480
world. A cane gets up close
when somebody's going to die. Suddenly everything

192
00:14:50,559 --> 00:14:54,360
shattered in front of me, like
a bob smashed against a rock. I

193
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,840
got the last funny flash. Michael
Shane, A guy head deep and nothing.

194
00:15:05,759 --> 00:15:09,240
Just a moment. We'll return to
the new adventures of Michael Shane and

195
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:18,559
the Case of the Crooked Wheel.
There are some guys in this world crazy

196
00:15:18,679 --> 00:15:24,000
enough to leave their happy home just
for the opportunity of getting choked by a

197
00:15:24,039 --> 00:15:28,000
gorilla and getting shot by a man
who has fun watching people fold up under

198
00:15:28,039 --> 00:15:31,399
the impact of a slug. Guys
like me, all for twenty bucks a

199
00:15:31,519 --> 00:15:37,960
day and expenses. And it started
out as a simple nugging job, trying

200
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,320
to ferret out who was beating Senor
Ramon Pequito's roulette wheels at his casino in

201
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:46,159
Mexico City. Only somebody was having
a personal fiesta having me bounced around.

202
00:15:46,919 --> 00:15:50,159
As a result, I was catching
the habit of waking up in strange rooms

203
00:15:50,159 --> 00:15:54,679
after each current beating. This time, I fought my way through the numbness

204
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,360
in my right shoulder long enough to
squint out of what was around me.

205
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,639
There were several things, daylight,
four walls, a Roulette wheel on a

206
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,879
round tape. When a guy I'd
seen once before, who I figured didn't

207
00:16:06,879 --> 00:16:11,240
never want to see me again,
Mark Hagen, send your Paquito's number one,

208
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,840
croupier. I think it easy,
Shaney, but I'll not try to

209
00:16:14,879 --> 00:16:18,480
move for a while. Hey,
no you caire Hagen. I brought you

210
00:16:18,559 --> 00:16:22,039
to my room. It seemed like
the only decent thing to do. Let

211
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,080
you find me. I followed you. I was afraid I was a little

212
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,039
too late. I apologize for that. What made you come after me?

213
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,679
That gag they pulled with a palm
chip is the oldest dodge and Roulette had

214
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,960
an idea, you're a right guy. After you went after that, big

215
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,480
fellow had an idea, I could
be some help. You see those guys

216
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:45,480
before the Big One and Skinny Laddie
worked with They've been around. A fellow

217
00:16:45,519 --> 00:16:48,360
who followed us called Hugo. The
other one's name Drew. I didn't know

218
00:16:48,399 --> 00:16:52,120
they knew each other. They should
have been more careful. Guy Hugo has

219
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,679
a sense a human. They could
kill you. I don't worry about it

220
00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:00,720
anymore. I removed the bullet.
You remove the bullet. It's an old

221
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,079
hobby of mine, taking bullets out
of people. I made a living out

222
00:17:03,079 --> 00:17:07,079
of fifteen years ago. I was
a specialist until the log got interested.

223
00:17:07,559 --> 00:17:14,839
You're a doc class of twenty eight, Midwestern class of thirty five DNA mora

224
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:22,559
license revoked for a malpractice profile of
Mark hagen Bummer. So you drifted down

225
00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:26,400
here and went to work for Pequito. Well, it's a living, Shane.

226
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:32,480
Being a croupier has its points.
Nobody asked questions and gives you a

227
00:17:32,559 --> 00:17:36,640
chance to use your hands, doesn't
it? But yes, what made you

228
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,759
ask them? Roulette wheel on the
table? She get enough practice at the

229
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:45,839
casino sometimes, my friend, it's
an indiscretion to inquire into motives. Look,

230
00:17:47,559 --> 00:17:49,720
I'll tell you something, Hagen.
It could be a wild, wild

231
00:17:49,799 --> 00:17:53,400
dream, but I'll tell you about
it anyhow. Yeah about you? Maybe

232
00:17:55,599 --> 00:17:57,480
about a croupier clever enough to spin
a wheel in such a way that the

233
00:17:57,519 --> 00:18:02,680
ball drops in any slotty once.
Oh you're already your mind, Shane.

234
00:18:02,839 --> 00:18:04,839
Maybe, but I don't think so. It's been done before. I can't

235
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,400
give the place and date, but
it's been done as I remember it.

236
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,160
The croupier was a frustrated violinist.
He had no talent for the violin,

237
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,640
but he could make that wheel whistle, Dixie, just like you go on.

238
00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:19,279
Yeah, the next surgeon could get
the same idea. A man who

239
00:18:19,319 --> 00:18:22,440
could do things with his hands,
intricate things. What other reason for the

240
00:18:22,519 --> 00:18:29,640
roulette wheel on that table over there? Practice? What are you going to

241
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,240
do about it? I could tell
Pakito it's what he hired me for.

242
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,920
If you did that, I'd kill
you. Yeah, maybe you would that.

243
00:18:37,519 --> 00:18:45,200
That's a promise, Shane. Okay, Oh say no more, Come

244
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,359
on, Gabby, close the door. Congratulations mister Shane. Oh you two

245
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,319
know each other? Sure? Yesterday
your lady love was making book. I'd

246
00:18:53,319 --> 00:18:56,400
be washed up on the beach.
I see you. I must made it

247
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,039
a ready? What stop you?
So? What is this, Hagan?

248
00:18:59,079 --> 00:19:00,720
I'm going to do you if I'm
gonna give you some advice? What makes

249
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,680
you think Mark need your advice?
Get rid of her? Hagen, she's

250
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,039
no good voice. It's not good
for anybody. Don't listen to him.

251
00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:11,680
Mark, go ahead, sure,
see if you can follow me. I

252
00:19:11,799 --> 00:19:15,160
come to Mexico City and immediately get
beat up by two thugs. I wake

253
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,160
up in Gabby's room. She claims
that if it wasn't for her, they

254
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,480
would have killed me. He's lying. Understand, Hagen, I'm a stranger

255
00:19:22,519 --> 00:19:25,039
here. The only reason anyone would
want me out of the way is because

256
00:19:25,039 --> 00:19:30,119
I could have been hired the queerers
act. Okay, so far, yes,

257
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,039
it makes sense. So it follows
that Gabby had made some sort of

258
00:19:33,079 --> 00:19:36,920
play with these thugs. Maybe something
you don't know about. Mark. Everything

259
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,359
you say is a lie. You're
being very impolite, my dear. The

260
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,079
way it looks from here, Hagen, is a little Gabby has you frame

261
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,759
for a far guy. From here? That's the only way I see you.

262
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:55,119
How you sit down? You sit
down and shut up. I'm getting

263
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:56,160
out of you. I do you
want any part of you? Hagan?

264
00:19:56,279 --> 00:20:00,240
You what you're staying, Dear.
I can't afford to let you one of

265
00:20:00,279 --> 00:20:03,720
my sight. Mister Shane might be
having a wild dream, as he said,

266
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:14,599
but I can't take the chance that's
sit down. I left the happy

267
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:18,720
couple and walked out into the midday
Mexican sunshine. Things were beginning to add

268
00:20:18,799 --> 00:20:22,000
up. The guy who nearly broke
my neck and the man with a gun

269
00:20:22,039 --> 00:20:26,920
with the same That was Hugo.
I heard the name before I passed out

270
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,480
the first time, and it was
an even bet that the lazy Tucker and

271
00:20:30,519 --> 00:20:34,200
the dapper gent name drew or identical. But for a one armed detective without

272
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,680
a license to carry a gun in
Mexico, there wasn't much I could do

273
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,599
about either one of them. It
was time to go back and resign my

274
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,960
job. I couldn't put the finger
on Hagan anyhow, So I caught a

275
00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:51,200
cap at the Pikito Casino, walked
into the senor's private office. Oh yaaa

276
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,480
ya guy. Each time I see
you, mister Diet, you look worse.

277
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:56,640
Perhaps this climate doesn't agree with you. As a matter of fact,

278
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,440
Senior Pikito, the time has come
to a bit of reluctant Oh well to

279
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,720
the land of mothers. Oh,
mister deectiv observed before you a person who

280
00:21:03,799 --> 00:21:07,880
is deeply puzzled. Yeah. A
few minutes ago, I receive a call

281
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,799
by telephone from Mark Hagen. He
is leading my employee. Yeah, why

282
00:21:12,079 --> 00:21:17,440
tonight? Tonight he would be pa
for the last time at the Pakito Casino.

283
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:22,000
I don't understand why you tell me
why, mister detectiv Ah, your

284
00:21:22,079 --> 00:21:23,759
guess as good as mine. Maybe
the climate doesn't agree with him either.

285
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:30,599
This I doubt, mister Detectiva,
you have observed, sayor Hagen, what

286
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,039
is your impression as to his integrity? Like I said, your guess is

287
00:21:34,039 --> 00:21:37,960
as good as mine. It is
enough to make a guess anyhow I can

288
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,599
mail me watch your me the New
Orleans. I'm quitting, Senor, Yes,

289
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,599
but why every time somebody tries to
knock me off they come a little

290
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:47,279
bit closer? Now, hast whatever
it is to wait, wait, look

291
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,279
just this evening, remain here at
the casino. This I ask you,

292
00:21:51,319 --> 00:21:56,079
as a favorite personal to rama.
I even say, please listen. Please.

293
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,839
Well, I don't know, Senor, I don't know what good I

294
00:21:59,839 --> 00:22:03,559
can be two year perhaps no good
at an You just stay here, observe

295
00:22:03,839 --> 00:22:07,640
that. He's all I ask you
to do for these double wages, double

296
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,519
expenses, well very well, triple
Sunday night, triple play. Agreed,

297
00:22:12,519 --> 00:22:22,519
Agreed, Senor, I will observe
another hour of the joint began to fill

298
00:22:22,599 --> 00:22:26,519
up, and a few minutes after
that, Gabby walked into the room,

299
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,079
still looking like an angel. Away
some women who are devils Still, She

300
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,680
strolled over to the roulette table where
Hagen was raking him in and put a

301
00:22:33,759 --> 00:22:38,279
stack on the red I wasn't a
sign of recognition between Hagen and the girl.

302
00:22:40,559 --> 00:22:45,599
Seven pays red pays number seven on
the red way your bets for the

303
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,920
next spin. No bets can be
made after the queen starts. On the

304
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:53,240
next spin. The girl won again, and she lost. Soon she began

305
00:22:53,279 --> 00:22:56,960
to double her bets and kept winning
more times than she didn't. When she

306
00:22:57,039 --> 00:23:00,400
started to play individual numbers, she
made the law of averages look like something

307
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:06,720
and hadn't passed Congress yet. Just
before she bet number four, I watched

308
00:23:06,759 --> 00:23:08,720
Hagen fold his thumb under his palm
and rubbed the side of his face with

309
00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:14,279
the rest of his hand. Watrown
Negro four page black, page number four

310
00:23:14,319 --> 00:23:18,519
on the flat, Young lady,
seems to be lucky this evening. I've

311
00:23:18,519 --> 00:23:22,519
been observing you. Oh, I'm
always lucky at your tables. Yes,

312
00:23:22,599 --> 00:23:26,680
I have observed that too, Mark, Mark, stop the wheel. I

313
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,200
wish to see just how lucky this
young lady is. Ladies and gentlemen,

314
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,880
you will pick up your bets if
you care to play there at the other

315
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:37,720
tables. Please This qheel shall be
used exclusive to test the young lady's luck.

316
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,119
But it is your intention to break
the bank, is it not?

317
00:23:41,319 --> 00:23:47,240
So? Spin the queel mark.
It was simple enough to figure out the

318
00:23:47,319 --> 00:23:49,400
two of them Hagen and Gabby were
making a one final grab and a whole

319
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,680
lot of money. Whatever his friendship
for Pekito might have been, Hagen was

320
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,519
forgetting all about it the girl in
the door. He had a full proof

321
00:23:56,519 --> 00:24:02,039
gimmick to do it in another hour, roughly one hundred thousand pacos stacked in

322
00:24:02,039 --> 00:24:04,920
front of the girl. If the
young lady doesn't mind, it is a

323
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,440
gentleman who wishes to join her.
It was a dapple ladd and a dinner

324
00:24:08,519 --> 00:24:12,559
jacket. The guy named Drew yea
be stiff and when she signed, I

325
00:24:12,599 --> 00:24:17,599
don't know this is my last spin. That's too bad, ma'am. I

326
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,599
had that idea I could ride along
on your streak. I'd be very disappointed,

327
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,720
man, But I thought Senor Pakita's
quite all right. Young lady.

328
00:24:25,079 --> 00:24:29,160
The gentleman informs me he wishes to
make his wager in the identical summon number

329
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,839
as you do. It's just like
a senor, says, man, won't

330
00:24:30,839 --> 00:24:33,599
spend any more. I guess I
can take a chance. You do it

331
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:40,279
all right, very well, all
of it. I did the whole amount

332
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,720
on number one. Good. That's
fine man, number one. It is

333
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,759
hundred thousand pacos riding right along with
you. Spend a wheel, mister.

334
00:24:49,839 --> 00:24:53,400
It was a sight to see a
girl a knuckle clamp between the teeth,

335
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,519
pakito with a tight little smile,
and Drew staring that's all, just staring

336
00:24:57,559 --> 00:25:00,480
down at the table. The only
one hoover was Hagen. His right hand

337
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:07,279
slid across his chest to the inside
of his coat dress. Rawle number three

338
00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:14,640
paces, why are you double?
The flash from Drew's gun lit on a

339
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,079
flying steel blade. Hagen spun across
the room, hammered back. When a

340
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,880
bullet shit tore through his chest.
Drew stopped shooting and tried to speak his

341
00:25:22,039 --> 00:25:25,160
words stuck on the knife blade in
his throat. They almost fell into each

342
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,359
other's arms. I turned just fast
enough to see the girl disappears through the

343
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,640
side entrance, and I went after
outside there was nothing. I held a

344
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,000
cab and gave him directions to the
only place I knew how to look,

345
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,880
Gabby's room. I took a wooden
stairs, three at a time, down

346
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:47,880
the hall to the doormark Number six
happened a man that's likely the only one

347
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,440
has left. Yeah. Everything,
you have a part of dice that doesn't

348
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:56,160
keep going. Two true, boy, it looks like I'm batting one thousand

349
00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:02,440
a day. Put that gun and
wear no killing, no more no.

350
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,559
In a moment, we'll be back
with a thrilling climax to the night's Michael

351
00:26:18,599 --> 00:26:33,200
Shane adventure. I watched the smoke
curler from the snout of Gabby's revolver mixed

352
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,960
with her yellow hair, and then
flung up to the ceiling. She stared

353
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,240
at Hugo's couple body, let the
gun drop from her limp fingers. I

354
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:47,000
picked it up. Then she stared
at me. Aren't you going to thank

355
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,920
me for saving your life? Sure? Thanks. She killed Hugo to save

356
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,960
your own beautiful skin. You are
mixed up already. He killed him because

357
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,720
you know he'd never believed your story
about what happened at the casino. You

358
00:26:57,759 --> 00:27:03,440
didn't have enough time you go enjoyed
killing too much himself, especially people he

359
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,319
thought crossed him. What are you
talking about? You had a good pitch

360
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,599
with Hagen. He could put that
ball in any number or color you better

361
00:27:08,599 --> 00:27:12,880
on. But that wasn't enough for
you. Doesn't matter now, he thought,

362
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:17,400
like a w profit by throwing in
with Hugo and Drew. Maybe you're

363
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,039
going to double cross them too.
I don't know. There's still plenty enough

364
00:27:19,039 --> 00:27:22,799
for both of us. Take your
choice. Angel, the Police of a

365
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,920
Kido. We're go away together,
you and night to night. There's a

366
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,359
plan, all of you and half
we can make it. We're good for

367
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:36,079
each other. Listen, Listen to
me. Plenty yours in mine. Listen

368
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:40,200
to me. Hello, operator,
listen to me. Yeah, we the

369
00:27:40,279 --> 00:27:49,599
police. This is your director,
Bell Russo again. Our story is based

370
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:55,240
on characters created by Brett Halliday.
The New Adventures of Michael Shane is a

371
00:27:55,279 --> 00:27:59,960
Don W. Sharp production, transcribed
in Hollywood and distributed exclusively by the Broadcasters

372
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:37,559
Guild. Welcome back. A couple
of things to say for this episode.

373
00:28:38,039 --> 00:28:42,920
First of all, you get to
hear Frank Lovejoy in a supporting role,

374
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:51,680
and that's one thing for a lot
of the middle nineteen forties syndicated programs,

375
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:56,079
whether it was Box thirteen or Michael
Shane or some other series, is there

376
00:28:56,319 --> 00:29:03,519
was a lot of up and couming
talent that will become big names later on

377
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:08,960
the forties and even into the early
fifties who were available. And obviously Frank

378
00:29:10,119 --> 00:29:15,559
Lovejoy is a great talent here.
One thing I did notice and appreciate it

379
00:29:15,599 --> 00:29:22,319
in this particular episode is when Shane
gets knocked out when going into town that

380
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:29,000
they didn't have him immediately come to, and the music, particularly the music

381
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,920
when he was out, I think
really kind of built the mood and almost

382
00:29:34,079 --> 00:29:40,440
made you feel, you know,
the feeling of being knocked out. I

383
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,240
guess that's an odd compliment, you
know, music to be concussed to,

384
00:29:44,559 --> 00:29:48,720
but I think what we heard certainly
qualify. Now. The reason we're playing

385
00:29:48,759 --> 00:29:56,559
this episode is that I read that
the first episode of gun Smoke, pilot

386
00:29:56,759 --> 00:30:06,079
episode somewhat infamous pilot episode from nineteen
forty nine, was actually adapted by David

387
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:11,200
Freakin and Mort Fine from the Michael
Shane episode we just heard. So we're

388
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:18,000
going to go ahead now and listen
to the first episode of gun Smoke.

389
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:25,440
Mark Dylan Goes to Gouji. This
pilot audition to eight was June eleventh,

390
00:30:25,759 --> 00:30:51,599
nineteen forty nine, and the title
is Mark Dylan Goes to Gauji. Gunsmoke.

391
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,799
The story of the violence that moved
westward with Young America. The story

392
00:30:55,839 --> 00:31:10,680
of one man who moved with it. Mark Dylan, United States Marshall lives

393
00:31:10,839 --> 00:31:15,559
on the Western Plain, where the
tongue of fight and an ounce of the

394
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:21,680
brain who hurts the cows as he
robs the train goes by the name of

395
00:31:23,119 --> 00:31:26,599
it. Was part of it,
A singing saddle bum, a cowboy,

396
00:31:27,119 --> 00:31:32,359
a drifted They all drifted here to
Dodge City one time or another. End,

397
00:31:33,039 --> 00:31:34,880
So the end of the track and
the start of the wilderness, a

398
00:31:36,079 --> 00:31:41,279
dumping ground, the odds and ends, beginnings, leftovers. It's a place

399
00:31:41,319 --> 00:31:45,480
to stop and take the kind of
pleasure you need, place to pass through.

400
00:31:45,359 --> 00:31:51,720
Sometimes it's a place to die.
My part of it was a sunshide

401
00:31:51,759 --> 00:31:56,240
shack rent paid by the United States
Governors and a Marshall's badge furnished flee.

402
00:31:56,759 --> 00:32:00,240
I was at the window, watching
the heat plump itself with Kansas dust and

403
00:32:00,359 --> 00:32:06,079
rolling towards the town. When the
door open, Your name Dylan you're a

404
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,680
United States marsher. She was about
fifty half poke bonnet rest gingham shoes.

405
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,359
Beat it, Indian mateleson. I
learned about you and go guy that there

406
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:21,000
was a steady marshal here and leven
for six months running who they've been lying

407
00:32:21,119 --> 00:32:24,279
to? Four? They say you
can break a man's heart at fifty yards

408
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:29,000
day, You and your gun's already
done that. What's on your mind?

409
00:32:29,319 --> 00:32:32,920
I could just saddle up and get
down the gouguy Why my husband husband owns

410
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,960
the white Buffalo Ulett music drinks the
day, the Roulette Wheels cooking. Look,

411
00:32:38,039 --> 00:32:43,640
ma'am, after Roulette wheels in the
west of public cooking maybe and then

412
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,920
Gouja they kill a man for running
a crooked wheel. Well, look,

413
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,880
ma'am, I have a Gale Conquirius. That's my name. Yeah, well,

414
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,039
missus Conquii. If you don't need
a marshal, you need an honest

415
00:32:53,119 --> 00:32:57,880
husband that wheels no more crooked than
you are. He's wise. From all

416
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,279
I hear about you, it was
I would none of the money's one from

417
00:33:00,359 --> 00:33:05,920
it. Don't saw me, Marsel. The money don't just mean money to

418
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,559
me. It means books for Indian
kids and writing stuff, slates and all

419
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:15,880
masonry. He the gambler and the
Philandro and a coper for a husband.

420
00:33:15,599 --> 00:33:19,960
Teach Engian kids, that's all.
He seem to behave a little learning,

421
00:33:20,039 --> 00:33:23,039
that's all. It's good work man. These towns could use more people like

422
00:33:23,119 --> 00:33:27,440
you. Never mind that if I
don't get to help, those kids will

423
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,039
go back to the wild ways and
not have a dead husband. You'll coming.

424
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:35,039
You have to ride that new some
more, riding back to down Jim.

425
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,799
I'll make it soon, Marsel,
I'll be a convulsion down there if

426
00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:44,400
you don't. It was nice when
the town of Gougi came out of the

427
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:50,119
wilderness and beckoned to me like the
painted skinny hag. If God City had

428
00:33:50,119 --> 00:33:53,119
a tougher sister, this was it. I rode up to the white buffalo

429
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,160
and started the time a horse to
a hitching post, whittle of the shape

430
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:01,599
of a pawny girl. When suddenly
the gun on my back told me I

431
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:06,160
wasn't alone. You won't like it
here, my shoo, pretty as it

432
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,000
is, you won't like it.
No, no, and they don't turn

433
00:34:08,039 --> 00:34:13,480
around my shoo. I'm shy and
I'm modest, and I embarrass easy isn't

434
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:20,079
that so Harold, You see,
Harold thinks its own. Harold had his

435
00:34:20,119 --> 00:34:24,320
tongue clipped apaches. Maybe it was
too long on. That's not a genteel

436
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:29,519
thing to say to Harold Marshoo.
He takes of thanks. I'm new here.

437
00:34:29,599 --> 00:34:31,559
Back in Dodge City. The etiquette's
a little more formal. Then go

438
00:34:31,639 --> 00:34:37,519
back to Dodge. We're very happy
here in galjaying like little birds. You

439
00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:43,320
could spoil it. I was invited
special invitation. The party's over. No

440
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:51,599
hell, something lashed out across my
skull. Feet of glass splitt in my

441
00:34:51,639 --> 00:34:58,599
brain from far far away, I
heard some words. I wanted to kill

442
00:34:58,679 --> 00:35:00,239
him, but I couldn't. I
didn't know who he was. I hadn't

443
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:05,559
seen his face, but I knew
I'd never forget that voice and that crazy

444
00:35:05,599 --> 00:35:09,440
giggle. But I opened my eyes
up. I was in dolgized dirty.

445
00:35:10,079 --> 00:35:15,079
I picked myself up and waited till
the town stopped its dizzy dance. And

446
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:20,679
it's a third time around. The
spotted the horse took struck my head and

447
00:35:21,199 --> 00:35:25,000
get rid of the blood in my
face. I finally pushed my bones to

448
00:35:25,119 --> 00:35:32,079
the swinging doors of a white buffalo. It was the usual kind of place

449
00:35:32,119 --> 00:35:37,559
like missus Canda has said, let
music drinks. I got halfway across the

450
00:35:37,599 --> 00:35:45,039
floor towards the bar. Then I
saw and heard it. Swimbler hair molded

451
00:35:45,159 --> 00:35:52,679
black, something profane, an exquisite
distilled into her features. She looked at

452
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:58,320
me, and when she spoke it
was as if she hadn't quit. Sa

453
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:07,239
Oh a lot Immersia with a new
star and a natty bush. You buy

454
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,119
a drink, na Chico, here's
a butt, Buy yourself an egg?

455
00:36:12,079 --> 00:36:17,360
Where can I find the owner?
Over there by the portal table? Thanks?

456
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:28,280
Yeah, but he seeing you your
name cantaris see Oh the bush from

457
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,920
Dutch City. Oh, you have
the look of the large headaches in your

458
00:36:31,159 --> 00:36:37,039
Yeah. Someone else besides you and
your wife was expecting my dad. It

459
00:36:37,199 --> 00:36:40,280
wasn't good, I see. But
I'm glad you have clubbed seeing a my

460
00:36:42,519 --> 00:36:45,920
look at that. You'll see my
place the white buffalo. So it proprietor

461
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:57,559
an owner magnificously established, and no
looks like your magnificent establishment takes playing for

462
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,599
weeks. Now I'm losing money on
the roulette. We still people say this

463
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:07,239
is crooked. Someone Swinglily, say
you this someone? I swear I will

464
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:14,960
kill that unless you find him for
me. That is where my wife comes

465
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,559
to. You are still to come, tokajack. She had a little difference.

466
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:25,119
She's afraid that someone might kill you
first. That might happen, but

467
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:30,760
not so long as he can swing
bardon why kill the chicken with the golden

468
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:35,159
eggs? An you? Well,
let's have a look at this squealiers see

469
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:43,559
well on me? Wow, bred
who is your spinner, Greg Hagen?

470
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,679
Based any territory? Suppose you'll let
me look around myself as you was saying,

471
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:53,440
oh, you'll find that someone who
is swingling my wings. I'll give

472
00:37:53,440 --> 00:38:04,000
it a try, mister Camparies.
When Ontarius left me alone, I watched

473
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,880
the tables for a while. Nothing
happened. Wheel didn't look crooked. It

474
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:12,800
was being swindled. It was done
clever. Finally I moved around near the

475
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:20,800
coupier Hagen. Yeah, see you
a minute, Oh Marshall, Yeah,

476
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,159
Bill take over for a minute.
Okay, Marshall, what can I do

477
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:30,000
for you? It's joint legitimate?
Why ask me, Quantuarius? I know

478
00:38:30,159 --> 00:38:34,840
so propriet an on a rumor?
Has it the wheels rigged? Is it

479
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,280
the buzz it is? Well?
Man, I could win, You could

480
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:42,440
win too, maybe twenty five percent
of what I win and Contuarius wouldn't know.

481
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,440
Keep talking. We both got to
live fifty percent. Now get this,

482
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:52,320
Conquarius is my friend. Sorry,
I'm in a mistake. No hard

483
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,599
feelings. That a hard feeling.
I think I like it better. Back

484
00:38:54,599 --> 00:38:58,920
at the table, look around yourself, make up your own mind about the

485
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:07,519
wheel. So I did. Mostly
I hung around the roulette table. As

486
00:39:07,559 --> 00:39:09,199
far as I could see. The
wheel was given a house and the customers

487
00:39:09,199 --> 00:39:13,800
and even break. Just about the
time I started to walk away, two

488
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,840
new players came up to the crowded
table, one pasty Face, handsome and

489
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:21,599
a week chins at the way,
the other a big, silent hulk of

490
00:39:21,679 --> 00:39:24,039
a man with a drooping lower lip. It didn't seem to be together or

491
00:39:24,039 --> 00:39:29,519
even know each other. I'm an
ex spin. The ball fell into twenty

492
00:39:29,599 --> 00:39:34,360
nine, bounced out, rolled around
thirteen, finally settled in double low.

493
00:39:35,119 --> 00:39:37,800
Just as it did, Pasty Face
reached out and put one hundred dollar bill

494
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:43,400
on double low. Greg Hagen,
the croupier, looked up and spoke soft

495
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,280
but sorry, mister, you placed
your bed after the ball settled. The

496
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:49,440
house can't accept it. I had
that hundred dollars down before you started the

497
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,639
spin pay me on. Sorry,
mister, the house says, you take

498
00:39:51,639 --> 00:39:53,559
back your money, how well,
Jamie Brother, before I make brush out

499
00:39:53,559 --> 00:39:58,000
of this joint. You first.
Yeah, this man placed the bed after

500
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,360
the ball does Ah, he's crazy, had the bed down a plenty of

501
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:05,480
time, so I thought, the
croupier's always right, take your bill from

502
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:14,320
the table, and if you please
get out. He heard fast, too

503
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,159
fast. As he went, I
started to remember his voice. I'd heard

504
00:40:17,159 --> 00:40:22,400
it before, with a voice behind
my back when I first hit town,

505
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:24,440
And all of a sudden it made
sense, and I knew I'd found out

506
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:28,960
one way the spaniard was getting looked. Pasty Face on the hull or a

507
00:40:29,039 --> 00:40:31,599
team on Pasty Face picked up the
bill. There was a blue chip under

508
00:40:31,599 --> 00:40:36,559
it on double O, and the
house paid off to the hull, all

509
00:40:36,599 --> 00:40:40,480
according to Hoyle except for one thing. The whole catn't placed any vets with

510
00:40:40,559 --> 00:40:44,440
a good stunt. There had to
be more too it than that. So

511
00:40:44,519 --> 00:40:49,199
I gave Contoirius a nod and followed
Pasty Face as he leapt. I got

512
00:40:49,199 --> 00:40:52,599
out of the casino just in time
to see him disappear around the corner.

513
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:59,360
I took it easy for light and
easy, and a bullet nubbed the dust

514
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:00,960
of my feet. I ducked into
the shadows, whipped out my guns.

515
00:41:01,599 --> 00:41:07,480
A flash should come from a narrow
passageway between two buildings. Sally Marshall,

516
00:41:07,519 --> 00:41:10,880
come on in and get me.
Wait right there, kid, It was

517
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:15,440
in there, somewhere in that long
slab of night that was too black to

518
00:41:15,519 --> 00:41:22,199
see through, somewhere in the I
put my back against the wall and sliding

519
00:41:24,199 --> 00:41:28,760
strike a match. I want to
see your face when it happens to you.

520
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:35,599
Fry knows you shoot birds. You'll
miss you know that, Marshall,

521
00:41:36,039 --> 00:41:38,559
But I won't because your gun flash
will tell me where you are. Real

522
00:41:38,639 --> 00:41:43,639
clever. That was clever what you
did back at the White Buffalo, honest

523
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:47,559
injin. Now tell me about you
and your friend. That was Harold Huh,

524
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:52,159
a giggler with a talent for pistol
whipping. Tell me some more about

525
00:41:52,199 --> 00:41:54,719
it. You throw down one hundred
dollar bill with a blue chip underneath it

526
00:41:54,719 --> 00:42:00,079
after the ball box and get yourself
thrown out. Harold collects thirty. I

527
00:42:00,079 --> 00:42:04,320
have to one. Did Harold do
that? Oh hell, did you do

528
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:13,360
that? And there he was framed
in the entrance of the alley. I

529
00:42:13,559 --> 00:42:17,920
was caught between them. Hasty face
and the mute called Harold the big guns,

530
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:22,559
and Harold's hands turned over and over. His face held all the evil

531
00:42:22,639 --> 00:42:29,719
in the world. All right,
Harold, take him. He was shooting

532
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:35,760
waist high along the wall, and
it was getting close. There was only

533
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:42,079
one thing to do, and I
couldn't mess You got, Harold, Marsha.

534
00:42:42,119 --> 00:42:49,480
But you made a mistake. Your
gun flesh gave you a way.

535
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,599
When I opened my eyes, I
was in a place I'd never been before,

536
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:06,079
kind of cottonwood, clemming. I
eased the wound in my shoulder,

537
00:43:06,079 --> 00:43:10,239
and I'm across a smoldering campfire.
I saw it, the girl who of

538
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:15,719
white bubble. A morning sun lighted
up the features of a man at her

539
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:22,519
feet. It was Signor Rafael Ramo
Jose Contois, and the bullet hole in

540
00:43:22,519 --> 00:43:28,559
the middle of his forehead gave him
an extra Now it was Sennor Rafael Ramo

541
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:34,360
Jose Conquire. As they ceased,
and the pretty Senor Reader was singing a

542
00:43:34,519 --> 00:43:52,840
love song. Back took gunsmoke in
just a moment, Combining modern detective methods

543
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:58,280
with secrets of the mysterious East.
The Green Lama offers CBS listeners a new

544
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,559
thrille now on Sundays, once he
has heard of a crime or an injustice.

545
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:07,039
Jethro Dumont, a wealthy young American
just returned from ten years in Tibet,

546
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:09,639
brings him a play. His quick
wit and knowledge of allusion to Dwarf

547
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:15,679
the Evildoers join him Sunday as he
continues his fight against crime on this side

548
00:44:15,679 --> 00:44:20,079
of the Pacific, wearing green,
the color of Tibetan justice, aided by

549
00:44:20,119 --> 00:44:24,360
Tultu, his trusted lieutenant. The
Green Lama is a feature presentation of most

550
00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:30,719
of these same CBS stations. Now
back to Mark Dillon, United States.

551
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:53,000
Marshal and gun smoke had consul.
Yes, but mon chief, are you

552
00:44:53,039 --> 00:44:59,000
another one? Nor dreams the contents
or death to be a reticulation and then

553
00:44:59,079 --> 00:45:02,280
ride away on a black Hmm.
Yeah, I'm lucky. Who are you?

554
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:07,280
How did you get? They call
me to mouth. I brought you

555
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,960
here the wagon over there in the
burrow. You are moly lucky cheaper.

556
00:45:12,559 --> 00:45:15,000
The bullet was for your heart,
but it can't it tilt in your shoulder.

557
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:22,199
It's not your trying to die.
But it was contarrious, perhaps to

558
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:30,320
brave. It's been empty too long. You know him well? See I

559
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:34,199
know it well enough to kill him. I did not kill him in your

560
00:45:34,199 --> 00:45:39,760
Contorius was smug? Protect What did
he protect you from himself? I like

561
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:45,360
your mouth better when it was gently
cheaper? And who did kill him?

562
00:45:45,559 --> 00:45:47,440
Oh? Would I know? It
was there like that when we arrived?

563
00:45:47,599 --> 00:45:52,880
Why did you bring me here?
I like you check. That's why I

564
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,480
tell you. If you leave,
go back to Dodge City. Did you

565
00:45:55,639 --> 00:46:00,719
die? Die in Dodge City?
It is not good here for either one.

566
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:05,519
Why didn't tasty face finish the job? Not after you were wounded?

567
00:46:05,559 --> 00:46:10,440
I came in there. I'm persuaded
when you were dead? He persuades easy,

568
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:16,199
He persuade easy. For tomorrow.
The shots were heard, people came.

569
00:46:16,519 --> 00:46:21,400
Senor Drew does not like attention.
Drew. His name is Drew.

570
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,800
But why here? What'd you bring
me here for? I thought compliance could

571
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:30,000
help you after wrong when your friend? How do you know that? I

572
00:46:30,159 --> 00:46:35,840
saw you're talking together in the White
Buffalo. But to night out of the

573
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:49,000
darkness death found compliers. I'm fired, ursy, pursy, and to me

574
00:46:49,119 --> 00:46:52,239
woman around the horse with you within
an inter of your night fair Senor,

575
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:59,599
Hello, Marshall, go in yourself. Get up, Contrary, get up,

576
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:06,559
he's dead, man. You shouldn't
be lying there on the cold ground.

577
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,480
Lift them under the cart. I
will help you, so you so

578
00:47:10,639 --> 00:47:22,880
much as touching markire so obvious.
Give me that blanket, Marsha. You

579
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:27,719
won't need it. Sure here,
man, you're pretty strong to lift him

580
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:32,119
by yourself. I've done it before. You're hurt, Marsha, I'll be

581
00:47:32,159 --> 00:47:35,920
all right. You can come too
if you want to. Marshall, I'll

582
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:39,599
take you back to town. Yes, ma'am. I didn't think she'd make

583
00:47:39,639 --> 00:47:44,960
it, but she did. Somewhere
on that long wagon ride back to town,

584
00:47:45,039 --> 00:47:49,280
she squeezed a tear under her cheek, just one tier, But for

585
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:53,599
missus Contoirius, it was a major
emotion. The sun was doing its best

586
00:47:53,599 --> 00:47:59,119
to charge the wood frame buildings when
we hid guard. All right, Martha,

587
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,519
get out of the wagon. Why
bring me back to goug I just

591
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:28,639
wow, Marshal, what's the offer
this time? One hundred and fifty percent

592
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:35,559
Hey, yeah, hurt, Come

596
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:57,800
things. You haven't answered my question. Do things with my hand, Marshall

597
00:48:58,519 --> 00:49:02,679
in the left wheel and expect you
were duck? Yeah, I'm a doctor.

598
00:49:04,519 --> 00:49:08,280
Was had a shingle shiny one,
and they said I couldn't have it

599
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:15,320
anymore. They had a word for
it, mal practice. They said I

600
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:20,559
did something. What are you looking
at? I had left wheel on the

601
00:49:20,599 --> 00:49:23,119
table over there? So matter?
Greg? Don't you give enough practice at

602
00:49:23,119 --> 00:49:28,840
the White Buffalo? Do you want
this moon fixed or not? Yeah?

603
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:37,000
Yeah, sure it's like Greg,
Yeah, I once heard about Croupier clever

604
00:49:37,119 --> 00:49:39,679
enough to spin a wheel and drop
a ball into winning Slottly one. It

605
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,039
hit it about once out of five
times, not bad. Once in four

606
00:49:45,199 --> 00:49:50,639
is better? What about it?
I couldn't mention it to missus Contarius.

607
00:49:51,559 --> 00:49:55,800
Round up you and Drew and go
back to Dodge City through Pasty faced guy,

608
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,679
the guy who pulled a fast trick
with a chip and one hundred dollar

609
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,360
bill last night. I didn't know
I refused the bed, didn't I.

610
00:50:02,639 --> 00:50:07,559
Yeah, that's what doesn't fit.
I'd stop worrying about it. If I

611
00:50:07,599 --> 00:50:10,559
were you, Marshall, I could
keep this wound open and let it bleed.

612
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,400
On the other hand, you could
take the bullet out. Yeah,

613
00:50:15,559 --> 00:50:19,920
I could do that, And I
owe you something I wouldn't have to remember

614
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:24,960
you, missus cantars like this,
Marshall. First, I just wanted to

615
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:30,559
tame the wheel. Bennett got out
of hand. Tamma have anything to do

616
00:50:30,639 --> 00:50:36,199
with get an out of hand?
What do you know about I'm ready to

617
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,360
take the bullet out, Marshall.
You're gonna keep what you know to yourself?

618
00:50:39,119 --> 00:50:44,800
Take the bullet out? Oh,
bipe my lip? Yeah, do

619
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:50,719
that, Marshall. Then I suppose
I bit my lip, But all I

620
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:52,719
got was pain in my mouth.
I didn't need that. There was enough

621
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:57,519
pain. There was a pain that
was painted in red, and it couldn't

622
00:50:57,519 --> 00:51:02,320
decide whether it was a flame or
an icicle. When I woke up,

623
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:07,159
Greg was talking to someone. It
didn't take long to recognize the voice.

624
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,559
You should have let him die,
Chico. It would only cast He's got

625
00:51:10,599 --> 00:51:15,760
nothing on me. Only trouble I
got is you every man in town.

626
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:20,079
You couldn't even leave the Marshal alone. Yeah, you're crazy. I found

627
00:51:20,119 --> 00:51:22,800
the Marshall in the Cottonwood clearing,
like I told you when I can.

628
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:29,920
Yeah, keeping your little rundable with
contuaria I wanted Tomorrow. I told you

629
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:31,199
if I ever caught you with Contuarias
again, I'd kill him, and I

630
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:37,239
did. I'm sorry I heard you
say that. Greg. Don't be sorry.

631
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:43,320
Just leave town. I could have
let you die. Marshall. You're

632
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:45,239
gonna take it, Greg, But
first I'm going to give you some advice.

633
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:51,039
Yeah, get rid of tom One
of her stories is bad, either

634
00:51:51,079 --> 00:51:53,639
the one she told Jo or the
one she told me. She told me

635
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:58,199
she brought me the Cottonwood clearing,
persuaded Drew that I was dead. If

636
00:51:58,199 --> 00:52:00,920
that's true, then it follows a
cruise cut your time, the same as

637
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:05,719
contoire As was. You can't kill
everybody. Tomorrow takes up with the Marshall

638
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:09,320
talking to his wound. Tomorrow.
He's delirious, he's lying. I found

639
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:13,039
him in the clearing, as I
told you. Well, Greg, who

640
00:52:13,079 --> 00:52:17,559
do you believe me? Or Tomorrow? Get out Marshall, Get out and

641
00:52:17,639 --> 00:52:22,880
leave tom can't Greg Grunt yet gotta
take it. Also, there's a personal

642
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:25,199
man to attend. I couldn't let
you die, Marshall. Remember yeah,

643
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:34,440
I'll testify at your Troyal. Greg
him shut up. You know tomorrow you've

644
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:38,239
got too many friends. It's a
lie. Everything he says is alive.

645
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:45,679
Maybe we'll stay one more night in
Valji. Just one more night, that's

646
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:47,880
all we'll need. No good Greg, I'll have to take you. Whether

647
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:52,280
you're shooting nominous sling, I don't
think so. I'll gamble on a Greg.

648
00:52:52,519 --> 00:52:59,840
What odds. I got up and
left Greg shack. He didn't try

649
00:52:59,880 --> 00:53:05,360
to stop me. One thing about
Greggy wasn't afraid of me or anybody else.

650
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,800
I went back to the White Buffalo
and waited. About an hour later,

651
00:53:10,079 --> 00:53:15,039
Missus Contoireus drove up. She was
wearing black. She just come from

652
00:53:15,039 --> 00:53:21,079
her husband's funeral, and me your
goodam, Marshall, I do under rip

653
00:53:21,119 --> 00:53:27,079
this dress, yes, ma'am.
Hey guy, was it a nice funeral?

654
00:53:27,119 --> 00:53:30,960
Man? Yes, Marshall, the
kid's behaved real nice. You've done

655
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:35,719
a good job on him. Man. Thanks, Come in and have a

656
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:38,960
drink, Marshall, you look piking. I followed her into the casino and

657
00:53:39,119 --> 00:53:43,840
an hour began to fill up.
I hid myself behind the stairs, where

658
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:47,159
I had a clear view of the
roulette table, and waited it. About

659
00:53:47,199 --> 00:53:53,360
eight Tomorrow walked through the door,
Tomorrow an address of red Tomar buckle with

660
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:58,239
silver. She strolled over to the
table and put some chips on the black

661
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:02,639
as Greg's fun. There was no
sign of recognition between them. Seven black,

662
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:07,800
seven pays black pays. Place your
bets on an ex spin tomorrow one

663
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:12,199
again, and then she lost.
She doubled her bets and won more times,

664
00:54:12,199 --> 00:54:15,239
and she lost. After a while, she stopped playing colors and switched

665
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:20,960
to single numbers thirty five to one. She kept on winning about one out

666
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,920
of four. Like Greg said,
in an hour, there was roughly twenty

667
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:29,440
thousand dollars stacked in front of her. Just before she bet number thirteen,

668
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:31,920
I saw Greg bold his thumb under
his palm and rubbed the side of his

669
00:54:32,039 --> 00:54:38,880
face. Thirteen black, thirteen pays
black pays. Happy are very lucky tonight,

670
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:45,159
Tomar, tonight, Senora. But
I'm always lucky at your table flow

671
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:50,199
not as lucky as tonight. Sorry, man, this is a private table

672
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,199
from now on, and I'll move
to the second. We are right over

673
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:59,800
there private table, Senora, Yes, that's due. And this gentleman,

674
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:07,320
a man Abigail thumbed it over his
shoulder, was mister Drew in person.

675
00:55:07,159 --> 00:55:10,239
I put my good hand on my
gun. I'm prepared to finish my unfinished

676
00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:15,400
business, and I decided to wait
for the piece to play itself up.

677
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:19,280
I didn't know what missus Contoire has
had in mind, but this show was

678
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:24,119
too good to spoil. Tomorrow,
Greg and Drew, I don't know.

679
00:55:25,039 --> 00:55:30,400
This is my last spin. That's
all right, tomorrow, our mister Drew.

680
00:55:30,519 --> 00:55:35,360
Once is just one spin, right, mister Drew. Yeah, guy's

681
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:40,440
one spin with a little lady.
But mister Drew, yeah, but I

682
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:49,679
do not feel like better will spin
once more? Why all of my chips

683
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:59,360
on number one, m number one, and that's a good number number one.

684
00:56:00,559 --> 00:56:17,599
I'll take ten thousand in gold,
number one ray red three paste.

685
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,480
Greig didn't have a chance. The
knife he tried to draw his hammered back

686
00:56:22,519 --> 00:56:25,960
by the bullets that tore through his
hand and across his chest. Suddenly his

687
00:56:27,039 --> 00:56:30,599
face changed. He looked young and
hurt, and they shamed of the blood

688
00:56:30,599 --> 00:56:34,480
that he couldn't hold back. It'll
make me happy if no one tries to

689
00:56:34,519 --> 00:56:37,440
follow us, let's go to mind. He held his guns like they were

690
00:56:37,519 --> 00:56:42,880
dogs on a leash that could snap
easy. He waited for tomorrow to scoop

691
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:50,360
up the money, and they backed
out of the casino. You'll let him

692
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:52,519
get away, Mars. I don't
think so, ma'am. He knows I'll

693
00:56:52,519 --> 00:56:55,920
come and get him. He'll be
waiting for him if he wanted to finish

694
00:56:55,960 --> 00:57:00,599
me off. If he can,
and I'm gonna give him his chance.

695
00:57:05,639 --> 00:57:09,880
I figured there was only one place
to look. They were rest and easy

696
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:15,719
in the cottonwood clearer. I knew
you'd have to come after me. Myshaw.

697
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:22,559
You're funnier than an actor. I
saw one once and diede you're funnier

698
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:29,079
maybe a laugh tweasy drool like a
kill, tweasy Myshall with a gun.

699
00:57:29,119 --> 00:57:32,480
I'm and a sling chasing the killer. Go away, Marshall, go away

700
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:37,719
while there's still time. I got
nothing but time. I'll wait. You're

701
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:51,920
wrong, my shoe, You've got
no time at all. Yeah, Chico,

702
00:57:52,119 --> 00:57:58,079
Chico, Lisa, do not believe
this is impossible that someone could shoot

703
00:57:58,079 --> 00:58:02,679
faster than senior drew. But what
your left? Oh Chico, you're so

704
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:07,760
very quick with your gun. I
like that about him. Man, take

705
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:14,039
it easy tomorrow. Come on,
let's go go, not no emotion.

706
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:24,239
There's time. Sit here, sit
here next to like this. See you

707
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:29,320
know what I think. I think
he had a great thing with Greg.

708
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:32,320
You can put that ball on any
number you bet on. That wasn't enough

709
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:36,079
for you, But it doesn't matter. No, you thought you could double

710
00:58:36,119 --> 00:58:38,159
your profits by throwing in with Drew. Maybe you we're gonna double cross him

711
00:58:38,159 --> 00:58:40,719
too, I don't know. Don't
worry about it, Chico. The money

712
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:45,679
is yours too. It belongs to
missus Guntwys. That's who's gonna get it.

713
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:49,440
What are you talking about? Take
your choice. Come back with me

714
00:58:49,519 --> 00:58:52,400
to the jail and goujai, or
I'll turn you over to missus gun Twise,

715
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:58,480
I don't think he could stand having
you align you. Come on,

716
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:05,599
this is the first time I've ever
held a gun and a woman. Surely,

717
00:59:06,079 --> 00:59:07,960
surely you are playing with me.
You're an accessory to murder. Timrod,

718
00:59:08,119 --> 00:59:12,599
we go way together, you and
I Mako new Orlean. Listen to

719
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:17,599
you and I let's go to listen
to me. There's plenty money yours and

720
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:23,960
mine. Listen. Put her arms
around my neck and her lips close to

721
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:29,559
my ear, and for a long
time, for a long long time,

722
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,800
first in English and in Spanish,
then in Cherokee, then in a language

723
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:37,840
I couldn't recognize. She whispered at
me every foul name in the book.

724
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:45,400
She was talented. She didn't repeat
herself once. Sama didn't understand that a

725
00:59:45,519 --> 00:59:58,960
marshall had a job to do,
and that the job got done. On

726
00:59:59,079 --> 01:00:01,800
the way back to which I came
across a cottonwood clearing I've never noticed before.

727
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:07,280
I rode down into it. A
small animals scurried off a log and

728
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:12,639
lost itself in the shadows, and
I was alone for a time after that.

729
01:00:14,239 --> 01:00:19,840
For a long time after that,
I thought about tomorrow. He'd given

730
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:29,239
her a guitar, but I knew
she wouldn't be singing much longer. The

731
01:00:29,239 --> 01:00:34,440
rest of the way home, the
country was dust got inside of my mouth.

732
01:00:35,519 --> 01:00:59,760
It stayed there. Welcome back.
There can be some criticism labled at

733
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,840
this episode. Certainly I'm going to
do some of that, but I do

734
01:01:04,039 --> 01:01:08,480
have to praise a couple of things. Usually when we do this sort of

735
01:01:08,679 --> 01:01:16,159
special, we find a lot of
scenes word for word, and sometimes even

736
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:22,599
copied from one location to another where
it doesn't make sense. Even when we

737
01:01:22,719 --> 01:01:28,760
did a voyage of the Scarlet Queen
episode that was adapted to Johnny Dowler,

738
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:36,400
there were relatively few changes here.
It feels like mort Fine and David Freakin

739
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:43,360
used a lot of the plot details
from their Michael Shane's script and do some

740
01:01:43,599 --> 01:01:49,199
heavy rewriting to try and make it
work better for a Western format. I

741
01:01:49,239 --> 01:01:53,880
think the idea of having the wife
be the one who came to Dylan was

742
01:01:53,960 --> 01:02:00,960
a good idea. However, there
are some things that I think work or

743
01:02:01,119 --> 01:02:06,719
a hard boiled detective that don't really
work well. If you're writing an Old

744
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:14,079
West marshal. The idea that you're
going to beat up a US Marshal and

745
01:02:14,239 --> 01:02:21,039
take even the slightest chance that he
might go free is absurd. The murder

746
01:02:21,079 --> 01:02:29,000
that the Croupier perpetrated also creates all
sorts of plot problems. Marshall Dylan at

747
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:36,400
that point really can't consider leaving and
also having a murder committed. It's all

748
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:42,440
sorts of a plot problems. Ating
with the Marshals say to the crup you

749
01:02:42,559 --> 01:02:49,079
know I just overheard you admitting being
a murderer. You really need to dump

750
01:02:49,119 --> 01:02:53,239
your girlfriend before you do something stupid. It made sense in the Michael Satan

751
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:59,679
Gone deck does not make sense here, and it certainly doesn't make sense for

752
01:03:00,199 --> 01:03:05,159
him to let the Marshall lift because
he's already committed one murder. I mean,

753
01:03:05,239 --> 01:03:10,199
the best argument you could make is
he only murdered his friend because his

754
01:03:10,320 --> 01:03:15,960
friend was making time with his girlfriend. And it's not like his girlfriend was

755
01:03:16,119 --> 01:03:21,239
making time with the Marshall. Okay, so that doesn't actually make any sense.

756
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:27,280
This pilot had a lot of problems
out to their credit, CBS would

757
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:34,639
actually remake the pilot with Howard Culver
and a more estern feeling script, although

758
01:03:34,639 --> 01:03:38,679
they would shelve the series. It
kind of reminded me of special I saw.

759
01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:45,719
It was like a Daffy Duck special
ware. The producer advised that they

760
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:50,480
would remake the film that Daffy had
before they shelved it. It's like,

761
01:03:50,559 --> 01:03:54,000
Okay, this is not good enough
even for the films for shelvings, so

762
01:03:54,159 --> 01:03:59,039
we need to remake it before we
shelved it. Now, one other thing

763
01:03:59,079 --> 01:04:02,079
I would know. I think that
the first time I played this, I

764
01:04:02,119 --> 01:04:10,559
did not know a lot about Rye
Billsberry. And that's actually because he kind

765
01:04:10,559 --> 01:04:15,000
of professionally changed the name he went
under to Michael Rye. He had an

766
01:04:15,039 --> 01:04:23,480
incredible voice acting career going into the
nineteen nineties. If you grew up you

767
01:04:23,519 --> 01:04:30,159
know the older gen X would know
him from his work in Super Friends as

768
01:04:30,239 --> 01:04:34,960
both Green Lantern and Apache Chief.
If you were a bit older than that,

769
01:04:35,039 --> 01:04:42,519
then you may have known him from
the nineteen sixty six Lone Ranger animated

770
01:04:42,599 --> 01:04:45,960
series. Oh for the Golden Age
of Radio. He was best known as

771
01:04:46,159 --> 01:04:53,320
Jack Armstrong All American Boy from nineteen
forty four to nineteen forty six, as

772
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:59,320
well as doing announcing duties on a
wide variety of different programs, whether operating

773
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:04,719
under the name Michael Rye bring his
later career, or Rye Billsbury during the

774
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:09,719
early parts of career. He was
a talented guy. He just did not

775
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:14,480
get quite the script he needed to
make this take on gun Smoke work.

776
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:20,639
All right, So I hope you
enjoyed this comparison and we will hopefully look

777
01:05:20,679 --> 01:05:28,719
forward to doing another one of these
types of programs come spring. And a
