Just two weeks. But we got to know 72 00:05:39,879 --> 00:05:42,759 her so well. She was such a lonely girl. She used to come 73 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,920 down after dinner sometimes and talk about music and all the places she'd been. 74 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,959 Well, where'd she come from? Originally she never said, but she'd been 75 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,319 everywhere in Florida, everywhere. Does she have any visitors? Oh no. 76 00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:56,519 The first thing she told us was no visitors. Anybody asked for her. 77 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,279 She wasn't home. Such a lonely girl, so pretty too. You think 78 00:05:59,319 --> 00:06:02,199 she'd have boyfriend, No, mister down, No visitors did she act as 79 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,279 if she were frightened of something. That's just what the police asked us, 80 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,439 and we told them before, and we told him at the trial that we 81 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,800 thought she was frightened. We heard the luggers here for a while, but 82 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,680 the police took it. I haven't throw it. Thanks. Did you notice 83 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,120 all the labels from all over everywhere? Wonder what they're going to do with 84 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,079 all those lovely dresses and shoes. Look, I know the police asked all 85 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,120 these questions, but did you happen to notice if she got an e mail? 86 00:06:24,399 --> 00:06:28,480 Yes, we did. She didn't, not a single litter. She 87 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,959 spent much time away from her apartment, very little, oh little, twice 88 00:06:30,959 --> 00:06:33,439 a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. But she 89 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,879 always came back with him an how, I don't suppose you have any idea 90 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,920 where you win. That's right, we don't.

Took me the rest of that day and half 93 00:06:56,959 --> 00:07:00,759 of the next visiting neighborhood postal substations. It looked like a beautiful way to 94 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,600 waste time that I was betting on the impossibility that her daily excursions had been 95 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:10,160 familed. This kind of foot padding taught me very little, other than the 96 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,199 fact that there are a good number of substations in any given half hour area. 97 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,199 The second afternoon, I dragged into a fruit store which advertised postal station 98 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:25,000 three two fours, along with a special on honeydew melon.

I looked at the envelope pearl 102 00:07:51,319 --> 00:07:57,639 Carasso order who had been forwarded from Las Vegas three days before. I said 103 00:07:57,639 --> 00:08:01,360 something to myself about hard work, patience, and fool's luck, then headed 104 00:08:01,399 --> 00:08:18,720 through.

Do you have a 107 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,120 final address on her? There? A letter was parted at the general delivery 108 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,080 here in New York that was originally addressed to the Rambo Club. I got 109 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,039 a permit and had it open. It's nothing but a dressmaker's bill. I 110 00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:41,519 guess the Las Vegas postal authorities sent it on. It's all I got. 111 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,919 Do you want me to follow it up?

A boot plaque comes 116 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,879 in off the street with the last quarter he made and punks it down on 117 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:22,200 twenty one, A grandmother with a California pension, A redheaded kid with Oscar's 118 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,639 super Service tattooed on his overalls.

A long red gash of a scar ran across the left 143 00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:45,519 side of his face, twisting it into a humorous smile. The bar keepers 144 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:50,159 dismissed with a nod. We sat down, So thanks, No, what 145 00:11:50,279 --> 00:11:54,480 can I do for you? I'm looking for a missus Henrietta Carass.

It mustn't be bitter though it Why why questions? 199 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,759 Look, I'm just a working man. It's it's so simple. There's a 200 00:16:41,799 --> 00:16:45,200 company in Hertford, an insurance company. They sold a policy the girl aboard 201 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,639 is dead.

Expense account item seven twenty dollars doctor bills. Nothing serious, 209 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:32,119 but I couldn't go out in the street looking like that. I stayed 210 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,680 in my hotel room for two days until the swelling went down. On the 211 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,559 third morning, I had a visitor. It was the girl who gave me 212 00:17:37,599 --> 00:17:41,000 the brush off in Rambos Bar. She had an over night bag with her. 213 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,880 There was a label Bloomington, Indiana. You're in trouble. Do you 214 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,359 know that three days ago that information would have done me some good? I 215 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,519 mean real trouble. You don't think Pete Barren lets you out of there because 216 00:17:52,559 --> 00:17:56,400 you believed your story, no more than you think you weren't followed here. 217 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:02,440 No, I know she never come here, but Pearl get him at each 218 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,759 tour. Will you tell me never to show up here again? She won't? 219 00:18:07,079 --> 00:18:11,240 What do you mean she won't? She's dead? I got tour. 220 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,839 You know why I got to get out of here. Wait a minute, 221 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,440 why did Pete Baron hire a pot to kill her? I gotta get out 222 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:19,640 of here. He came up here for a purpose, but I didn't know 223 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,319 she was dead. You're gonna let him get away with it. It's narcotic, 224 00:18:25,079 --> 00:18:27,519 be gambling taxes the front. They fled up from Mexico, not and 225 00:18:27,599 --> 00:18:30,359 get out by morning. Prul found out about it, and that's why they 226 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,759 did it. This baron, no pearl told you all this. I don't 227 00:18:33,759 --> 00:18:37,160 think so. I'm not taking any chances. I got a bus ticket. 228 00:18:37,519 --> 00:18:40,680 It leaves from across the street. I only got a minute. Good blow, 229 00:18:40,759 --> 00:18:45,440 honey. I went to the window and watched to leave the hotel and 230 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,839 across the street. A nice girl, I thought, and I wondered how 231 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,000 she got mixed up with Baron's crowd. The mus door opened and she put 232 00:18:53,079 --> 00:18:56,839 one foot on the step. She crumpled to the sidewalk. A little of 233 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:02,880 the night bag tumbled into the gut. I got downstairs, just ahead of 234 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:04,960 the deputy sheriff. Just after the bus had left. The people were still 235 00:19:06,039 --> 00:19:11,240 standing around. She was a nice kid. You knew her, not for 236 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:17,119 long. Could you see this happen? Yeah, step over here for a 237 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:25,880 second with may I have your name? Please? And she here, he's 238 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:33,519 my ID card insurance investigation. Something about her? Oh a friend of us 239 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,000 pulled out of the East River. Pearl Carrassa shot to death. Carassa, 240 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,240 Yeah you didn't know? Oh would heard? She left tom That was about 241 00:19:42,279 --> 00:19:45,000 all. She got mixed up with Pete Barron and her family just saw her. 242 00:19:47,799 --> 00:19:49,359 Well did you see what happened to this girl? She was just getting 243 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,359 on the bus. It sounded like a rifle. She was working with Pete 244 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,839 Barron too. Yeah, I thought I recognized her. She just come up 245 00:19:56,839 --> 00:20:02,319 to see me. Had quite a story to tell. Baron's running narcotics up 246 00:20:02,319 --> 00:20:04,920 from Mexico by plane. They're so, I've heard, We've had a rye 247 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,839 on them for months, but we aren't ready to pick them up yet. 248 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,640 Why don't you tell you that she had to tell somebody she had a message. 249 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,559 She wanted me to deliver purl And this is beginning to tie up. 250 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,720 But what's insurance cuts to it? Carass A? Girl left the policy five 251 00:20:19,799 --> 00:20:25,720 thousand dollars to another. The conscience must have bothered. He comes from one 252 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,759 of the finest families in this part of the country and starts downhill with a 253 00:20:27,799 --> 00:20:33,920 crowd like that her mother needs five thousand dollars, like I need two haircuts, 254 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,359 and mister, if I where you are to take that, check out 255 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,960 the carasses and catch the next plane out of town. You know something, 256 00:20:40,039 --> 00:20:49,720 Sheriff, It's just what I'm going to do, and that's just what I 257 00:20:49,839 --> 00:20:52,880 tried to do. Expense account item eight fifty cents. Cab fed at the 258 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,440 grassa estate on Juniper Drive. They should have charged the admission. There was 259 00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:02,279 an ivied stone wall running over around it, and a mile drive through a 260 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:06,559 cactus rock garden to the mansion. I felt a little like a grocery boy 261 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,400 delivering a check for an easily five thousand dollars. I was met at the 262 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,519 door by a butler in a business suit and was toured around an indoor swimming 263 00:21:14,559 --> 00:21:18,200 pool and potted palms to the library. Buried in a large leather chair reading 264 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,440 a twenty five cent version of How to Be Your Own Gardener was the man 265 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:29,599 of the house. I was introduced and left alone with him. Insurance investigation. 266 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,480 How long since you've heard from your daughter? Oh, such a long 267 00:21:33,599 --> 00:21:37,480 time, Such a long time. Is she in more trouble? He's dead, 268 00:21:37,599 --> 00:21:48,240 mister Krasher dead, Pearl Debt can't be what happened. She was killed 269 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:53,839 naturally. No, it wasn't not a natural. Someone hired a killer. 270 00:21:55,519 --> 00:22:04,279 Oh it's my fault. I knew and I did nothing, Gregory. I've 271 00:22:04,279 --> 00:22:07,559 been looking all over for you. Have you wanted the palms today? No, 272 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,799 you didn't walk the palms. Now, Gregory, the leaves will get 273 00:22:11,839 --> 00:22:14,160 all yellow and fall all over the floor, and it will take sip ad 274 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,279 minutes to clean up the mess around the pool. And I told you specifically 275 00:22:17,519 --> 00:22:19,880 that the music club had change from Wednesday to Monday, and Monday is tonight. 276 00:22:21,319 --> 00:22:23,359 This is a man from the insurance company. How do you do now, 277 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,000 Gregory? Please do this one thing for me. You know how much 278 00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:30,880 I have to do with Henrietta. It's Pearl. I told you never to 279 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:37,640 speak that name in my presence. She's dead, dead, she was murdered 280 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,200 missus Kreiser in New York. I'm not sorry. Maybe I should be, 281 00:22:41,319 --> 00:22:45,920 but I'm not not. In the least. She's never done anything but brings 282 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,000 shame to me and to her father. She brought these awful people to the 283 00:22:48,079 --> 00:22:52,599 house to this house. Mind you humiliating me in front of my friends. 284 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,480 She even wanted to marry one of them. Henrietta, Please not now, 285 00:22:55,599 --> 00:22:57,680 Henriette. I am not a depth at putting on false grief like you are, 286 00:22:57,759 --> 00:23:00,720 Gregory. She was no good when you brought this man, and I 287 00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:04,359 told her right there and then you're not my daughter. Go to the people 288 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,400 that you begin with. Well, this is the way it had to end. 289 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,039 I'm going upstairs. Uh, missus Krasser, Just one thing more. 290 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,160 If you will sign this paper, my job will be other. I have 291 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,440 a check for you, a check. What kind of a check she left 292 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:27,079 you? Five thousand dollars? Me? She left me five thousand dollars. 293 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:33,039 I remember the policy she took out in high school. She never canceled it, 294 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,920 even when you sent her away. I don't want it. I don't 295 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,599 want tell me. Do you know who killed my daughter? The man that 296 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,200 did the actual killing has already been executed in New York State. The man 297 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:49,720 who hired him. It's only a suspicion. I'd rather not say. Bear. 298 00:23:52,079 --> 00:23:55,720 What about this check? I don't think she wants the money. You 299 00:23:55,799 --> 00:23:59,240 can tell your company that. Look, mister Grasson, I've come a long 300 00:23:59,319 --> 00:24:02,759 way. I'll leave it here. You can sign the form and mail it. 301 00:24:03,759 --> 00:24:11,920 Do you mind calling me a camp spends account item nine fifty cents cab 302 00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:15,559 fare. Just as we pulled out of the driveway, somebody else pulled in. 303 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,000 I don't know if he saw me, but I saw him. It 304 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:26,359 was Pete Barron. Are you sure, Dahna positive? Griff? I woke 305 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,119 up looking at that face. What would Baron be doing at Carassus place? 306 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,400 Could be a connection you didn't know about. Yeah, this could be the 307 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,640 tie up. We've been looking for somebody who supplied the bill. It's a 308 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,680 big operation. I'm sure Baron didn't have enough dough to start it. Well, 309 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:51,279 what are we waiting for? I wrote down with the sheriff. We 310 00:24:51,559 --> 00:24:56,160 bypassed the butler by taking him into custody. We heard voices coming from the 311 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,319 library and stopped outside the door. Business I had to do it. Threatened 312 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,559 to go to the police. She may have been your daughter, but she 313 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,799 wasn't mouth. Why did you tell her? I didn't? She found out 314 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,759 she knew about us, She knew about you, she knew about everything. 315 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:11,480 She would have turned you and your wife in a long time ago. If 316 00:25:11,519 --> 00:25:14,599 she hadn't been her parents, but she was willing to turn me in, 317 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,119 and I did what I had to. I wasn't my idea you coming into 318 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:18,960 this thing, But now that you're in it, you got to learn that 319 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:25,960 things like this happened. Yes, and things like this happened too, Robert 320 00:25:26,039 --> 00:25:33,960 Caresser. And look who's here? Hello missus, Carison. Let's go Carassi. 321 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,160 Wait. I want you to know about this woman. I want you 322 00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:44,519 to know what she is all respectability and shine, chamber music and non objective 323 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,279 paintings in high society. And where did the money come from, Henrietta? 324 00:25:48,559 --> 00:25:52,839 From narcotics? From the same people you hated so much. Gleigly Sty had 325 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,400 a child business before the war, but it wasn't good enough for her. 326 00:25:56,839 --> 00:26:02,319 She wanted to displace Italian marble tempestries. She met barn in back rooms and 327 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,480 arranged to have me buying his gambling casino. That was the first thing. 328 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,759 Don't you dare put the flame on me? Whod idea was to have a 329 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,720 narcotic fluid in? How many times did I beg you to stop? But 330 00:26:12,839 --> 00:26:17,759 you never listen to me. You couldn't keep from pressing the ladies and gentlemen, 331 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,200 and when Pearl wanted to marry a decent young MANU insulted him right out 332 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,680 of this house.
