5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,760
Atlantic Central Railway. Some guys knocked
over at one of their box casts last

6
00:00:24,839 --> 00:00:28,120
night and hoisted half the load.
They carry a blanket policy and all their

00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,960

00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,519
main offices of the Atlantic Central Railway, where a tall, heavy set man

16
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,920
and a dusty blue surge pulled a
cop cigar from the side of his mouth

17
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:29,760
and spun swiveled chair in my direction. I'm a grim's dollars and now let

18
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:34,079
me close this storm. Well you
did take long getting him. I wasn't

19
00:01:34,159 --> 00:01:38,519
very far away. I'm the cinder
bull for this at and I'd be doing

20
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,519
what you're gonna do if was like
the all days only ship is indemnity handles

21
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,719
the insurance and it's odd job.
Now that's the service you pay for,

22
00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:49,519
mister Graham. When they stuck me
in this desk, iud but knock on

23
00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:53,120
dead heads around for twenty years and
seeing they got them thirty days on the

24
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,000
road gang, Now I'm just I
guess they figure I'm too old. Well,

25
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,280
maybe you can give me a hand
on this. Dona need some action.

26
00:02:00,599 --> 00:02:05,920
You want to tell me about it, mister Grimm's you bent Atlantic Central

27
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,520
Hustle six gully jump visit after Rochester
five hours after the ten on weight leads

28
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,159
here last night she jerks up at
Botavia. So the clowns can water it

29
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,360
down. That's when the Johnagan notices
one of her brownies is busted open and

30
00:02:19,439 --> 00:02:23,960
half the jigg is gone, So
right away he wang doodles a copper buster

31
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:28,520
up the line. Are you getting
this? I think so? Translated,

32
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,159
you mean the brakeman at Potata found
the box car had been broken into and

33
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,479
half the cargo stole him, and
he phoned ahead to the telegrapher. That's

34
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,960
it, all sorts of stuff on
the car. I don't know what all's

35
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,439
gone yet. It was him make
up any kind right, you know?

36
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,400
I got the poodles over in the
book Penn looking up the invoices to see

37
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,159
exactly what's missing. It'll take a
while, good, that'll help. Who's

38
00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:52,759
in charge of the loading here?
Andy Madson been with us thirteen years.

39
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,439
He inspected it and see the down
himself. I talked to him already,

40
00:02:55,439 --> 00:02:58,800
but call him in if you're not
well. I'm not going to see him

41
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:02,439
later. What about the brakeman and
Batavia A gandhy dancers Skeeta Minkonski. Nah,

42
00:03:02,479 --> 00:03:06,680
he couldn't have done it then.
High Ball only lingered there long enough

43
00:03:06,719 --> 00:03:09,960
to get water cannon load of brownie
in three minutes take more like three hours.

44
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,400
What other stops did she make?
One six minutes at the junction fifteen

45
00:03:15,439 --> 00:03:17,599
miles outside of here, waiting for
a hot shot passenger to get by,

46
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,439
And all in all the trains stopped
ten minutes, of the most, not

47
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,080
long enough to unload a kittie cart. Engineer name of Roper Jamesy spotted the

48
00:03:25,159 --> 00:03:30,360
game in a reds mess hanging around
the yards yesterday afternoon, and the boys

49
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,840
at the round I say the same
name, was in asking questions about trains

50
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:37,759
leaving, said she was in a
newspaper. She give me Ruthe Smith.

51
00:03:37,879 --> 00:03:40,319
I checked, no newspaper in town. Got any Ruth Smith working for him?

52
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,759
Well, she's our Tipston. Somebody
out to look for him already,

53
00:03:44,879 --> 00:03:47,919
got somebody out doing that good.
Now along the route up to Rochester.

54
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,800
Between here and Batavia there there must
be a highway running parallel to the track

55
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,599
somewhere, eh. And whoever cracked
into that box car had to get aboard

56
00:03:57,639 --> 00:04:00,560
at the junction, then tossed the
stuff from the movie train and jump off

57
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:03,919
somewhere the side of Botavia. And
I had to be a truck following along

58
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,439
on the road to pick up the
stuff in the dock. Have you been

59
00:04:06,439 --> 00:04:11,039
out there at mister Grimms Nah.
Kind of thought I'd wait around and see

60
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,759
what sort of boatworkers the insurance companies
that turned out these days. I like

61
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,519
you tell you're all right. You
figured how it was done fast. Other

62
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:23,879
guys that are hemmed and hard around
asking train crews questions. I already asked,

63
00:04:24,399 --> 00:04:29,360
well, what's next? Find out
who did it? I like that

64
00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:32,439
too, Hey, have you got
a car I can borrow? Mister Grimms,

65
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,759
I got a jeep and a shop
for to go with him. Who's

66
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,120
the chauffeur man? You said you
might want me to help you. I

67
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:42,199
bought the thing from Army surplus.
I want to see if I got a

68
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:51,199
bargain expensive car. I had them
four dollars thirty eight cents for gasoline,

69
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:55,120
which went into a jeep that Ef
Grims and I used to follow the lonely

70
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,680
stretch of old road that ran parallel
to the Atlantic Central Railroad tracks. Two

71
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,560
beyond the junction, we found heavy
duty tiremox which could have been made by

72
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,279
a truck which could have left the
road then driven over the flats as far

73
00:05:06,319 --> 00:05:11,120
as the embankment to pick up freight, which could have been thrown from the

74
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,720
moving train. Following the right of
way, we found several such tiremarks at

75
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,160
several points turning off the road,
but no building nearby. Finally, at

76
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:24,519
one place we found an unpainted chanty
that stood better and lonely against the sky.

77
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,079
It belonged to a man named Bogoddess, big truck. You're danged right,

78
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,399
I did, mister, your dang
bootly dood to the right, walked

79
00:05:31,439 --> 00:05:34,160
me up or did? Well?
What did the truck look like? Eh?

80
00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:38,040
Do you remember what the truck looked
like? Yellow? Yellow? It

81
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,639
was all yellow, seen it plain
even though it was night. You haven't

82
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,279
noticed the license number? You kidding? Say? All right, I forget

83
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,319
it. But you haven't to notice
any lettering on the truck, Mister Bogotti,

84
00:05:47,439 --> 00:05:51,519
don't read, never learn, never
believed in it. No, well,

85
00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:56,759
don't make no difference, So twas
nothing rid on it anyhow. Oh,

86
00:05:56,879 --> 00:06:00,680
the truck's usually got printing on them, dang making all that noise,

87
00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:05,439
grunting and heaving and waking the man
out to be sleep. They ain't had

88
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:11,279
nothing like that since the army maneuvered
here in forty one. You're gonna stop

89
00:06:11,319 --> 00:06:14,040
it, well, I hope so
good. Do you happen to see who

90
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,439
was driving the truck? Nope?
You know about what time it was here?

91
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:20,720
Nope? You happen to say anything
to the melt Well, do you

92
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:26,120
know in which direction it went from
him? Huh? It turned around and

93
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:33,839
headed back for Buffalo, which is
exactly what we did. Back to Buffalo,

94
00:06:34,439 --> 00:06:36,480
where we began to look, with
the help of the police, for

95
00:06:36,519 --> 00:06:42,040
a big yellow truck with no lettering
on it. We tried garages, trucking

96
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,199
concerns, and any place big enough
to hide such a truck. It wasn't

97
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:50,160
an easy job, but it turned
up. Hello, Hello, a yellow

98
00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:54,879
truck. All lot of town was
stolen. Fright? What yeah? Meet

99
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,920
you over with the West End fire
a Conway Patronia's find it good? Only

100
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:05,879
one thing, it's wrecked. The
plastin orders had a flat tire. Ride

101
00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:09,319
here. He got out of his
car to fix a flat and saw here

102
00:07:09,399 --> 00:07:13,639
went pupled down. Good sumble must
be thirty feet anyhow, they're trying to

103
00:07:13,639 --> 00:07:15,759
get the driver out of the cab
now he may still alive. They're using

104
00:07:15,879 --> 00:07:20,319
suddenlying torches. Ten minutes later,
the ambulance crew dragged the driver out of

105
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:25,000
the twisted cab. The interns worked
on him for a short time, and

106
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,160
one of them straightened up handed me
a billfold. Who here you are.

107
00:07:28,439 --> 00:07:32,360
His name is Blakey, Blakie ricks
Blakey for the moment he won't live in

108
00:07:32,439 --> 00:07:35,839
on the five minutes practice skull neck
broken. You've got any questions? They

109
00:07:35,839 --> 00:07:42,720
ask a better hurry. Thank you, Blakey. Blakey listened to me.

110
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,639
Listen, you haven't got along.
You know this is all stolen cargo on

111
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,439
your truck. We want to know
who worked with you. Jake. Get

112
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:57,560
Jake, Jake, Jake who Jake? Jake sluck me, put it in

113
00:07:57,639 --> 00:08:01,120
gear and rolled me over the side
of the road. Get him, mister

114
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:07,240
cup, get him for doing this
to me. Ah. I stayed around

115
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,959
the wreck truck, watching eaf Grim's
crew stacking the cargo, and then I

116
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,959
saw something that could have fallen out
of Blakie's wallet when the interurn handed it

117
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,600
to me. It was a card. On one side was printed Horseshoe Barren

118
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:24,199
Grill, and there was an address
underneath it. But on the other side

119
00:08:24,279 --> 00:08:35,440
was written Jake eight o'clock Tuesday.
He's always there. The horseshoe barren grill

120
00:08:35,639 --> 00:08:39,720
was short on lights and even shorter
on drinks. After a couple I signaled

121
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:46,960
the bartender, Yeah, nullo one, uh huh, sure, Dame,

122
00:08:46,039 --> 00:08:52,519
trouble pal. I'm here to see
Jake. They should drink even in here

123
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:58,919
to night. It'll be fifty cents. Jake hangs around here. Look the

124
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,759
minute you walk in, look at
your feet, and I say to myself

125
00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:05,679
flatty, gum boots, glim heel
cop, not city hall type guy.

126
00:09:05,759 --> 00:09:11,000
But something else. I say something
different that still spells law. I was

127
00:09:11,039 --> 00:09:15,799
asking about a guy named Jake.
Something else. I say, maybe private

128
00:09:15,879 --> 00:09:18,799
people. Then I say, if
he's working, he's got hisself a bib,

129
00:09:20,519 --> 00:09:22,679
and a bib means it don't come
out of his pocket when he's around

130
00:09:22,759 --> 00:09:28,120
looking for somebody and asking for guys. Well, let's helped. Oh thanks,

131
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,039
Old Dave took a great picture.
What was your asking about a guy

132
00:09:33,159 --> 00:09:37,679
named Jake? Sit tight, Sammis, I'll tip you when he comes in.

133
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,759
An hour went by, and about
the time I was wondering if I

134
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:52,759
was going to be able to write
that five bucks off on the expense account,

135
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,600
the bartenders slipped out from behind the
bar and went through a door on

136
00:09:56,639 --> 00:10:01,919
the back, mock private. I
finished my Lincoln's strolled after it. He

137
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,240
was just hanging up the phone as
I walked in. Oh, there's a

138
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,720
lot of customers waiting to be served
out front. Yeah, I want to

139
00:10:09,759 --> 00:10:13,360
get right back to Wait a minute, haven't we got some unfinished business?

140
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,960
Well? Yes, no, I
come back here to slip myself a quick

141
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,240
smoke, and the phone is ringing. You'll never gets who it is?

142
00:10:22,159 --> 00:10:26,639
Jake? What's his last name?
I know across the bar a guy's just

143
00:10:26,799 --> 00:10:30,840
Jake or Sam Aurail? Anyhow,
Jake, see ain't coming by tonight?

144
00:10:31,039 --> 00:10:33,240
He called you up to ten of
that? No, no, you see,

145
00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:37,039
Jake says he lost his glasses when
he was here last night. He

146
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,000
was called to an him, did
you no? But Jake says that if

147
00:10:41,039 --> 00:10:45,000
I do find him, I can
send him over to the Embassy Hotel.

148
00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:52,200
That's where he is, Room two
ted Embassy Hotel. Where's that from here?

149
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:58,320
Two blocks north? Thanks? Sure, he's here anytime, anytime you

150
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,879
got an expensive cap. I walked
over to the Embassy Hotel, and naturally

151
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,320
enough, there was no one in
room two ten named Jake. As a

152
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,440
matter of fact, there was no
room to ten But when I stepped outside

153
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,320
and started back for the horseshoe bar
and grill, a pair of white shoulders

154
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,159
and a coat collar fell and stepped
beside me. He shoved something against my

155
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,879
back. That's showing me kind of
turn in here. I blasted you right

156
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,159
here, and you know it.
In the alley. I want you should

157
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:31,559
meet a friend of mine, Jake. How'd you guess? Okay? Hold

158
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,840
it? Here are yes? Jake? A tall, thick figure with an

159
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,399
odor of fine cologne around it stepped
from the shadows. His hat was down

160
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,360
and his collar was up. He
stood very close in front of me and

161
00:11:43,399 --> 00:11:46,080
asked, why do you want me? Who are you? I'll ask you

162
00:11:46,159 --> 00:11:56,039
first. I all right, frisking
trench, see who he is. Everything

163
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,000
became very quiet. Then next for
one voice that belonged to our man who

164
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:05,519
died earlier that day. I kept
hearing it. Get him, get him

165
00:12:05,519 --> 00:12:09,759
for doing this to me. In
just a moment, we'll return to the

166
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:15,519
second act of Yours truly, Johnny
Dollar. But first, this Wednesday night

167
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,840
and every Wednesday night over most of
these same CBS stations were invited to hear

168
00:12:18,879 --> 00:12:24,080
the Bing Crosby show Bing Crosby with
the music of John Scott Trotter, the

169
00:12:24,159 --> 00:12:28,120
Rhythmaire's ken carpenter, and of course
the top name star each week is his

170
00:12:28,159 --> 00:12:31,879
special guest. Here's the show designed
for the whole family, a pleasant and

171
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:37,960
diverting mixture of music and merriment,
guided by the one and only Bing Crosby

172
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,879
Plan. Now to make Wednesday Night
Crosby Night on your listening schedule. That's

173
00:12:41,879 --> 00:12:48,120
the Bing Crosby Show, every Wednesday
Night on CBS. And now with our

174
00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:52,879
star Edmond O'Brien, we returned to
the second act of Yours Truly, Johnny

175
00:12:52,919 --> 00:13:01,720
Dollar. I was lying in a
the alley with my face up against the

176
00:13:01,799 --> 00:13:05,879
cold brick wall, and something warm
was dripping down the back of my neck.

177
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,399
I didn't move, I couldn't.
There was a steady ringing in my

178
00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:13,840
head, and my body seemed far
away. I struggled to my feet and

179
00:13:13,879 --> 00:13:18,159
headed for the man who had led
me into this. What do you want?

180
00:13:20,159 --> 00:13:24,080
Hey? What's this all about me? Look? I've been beaten and

181
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,080
slugged and frisked all because I talked
to the wrong guy. I looked for

182
00:13:28,159 --> 00:13:31,639
you in the bar, but they
told me you went home. I'll spit

183
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,720
it out. Split water does that
remind you of anything. You tipped Jaco

184
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:41,200
off that I was looking for him. Why let go with me. I

185
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,000
can't talk like this. If you
can breathe, you can talk. Come

186
00:13:45,039 --> 00:13:48,200
on. Look, Jake's a steady
customer of mine. I gotta treat him

187
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,840
right. I've never seen you before
in my life. What's Jake's full name?

188
00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:54,360
What does he do? And why
can I find him? I don't

189
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:58,480
know. You don't know why anything
about him except that he's a big,

190
00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:01,639
blackhaired guy who dresses like a book
flash. He just comes in with some

191
00:14:01,639 --> 00:14:07,360
guys and drinks. The name is
Jack Samuels. He has a sidekick named

192
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,320
Trench. I don't even know his
last name. What does Jake do?

193
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,519
I don't know. You don't say
nothing personal to me. What do you

194
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,000
think he does? If he plays
the horses books? How do I know?

195
00:14:18,759 --> 00:14:22,320
And you don't know where he lives, mister? If he owed me

196
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,799
one hundred dollars bar bill, I
couldn't find his house. It was late

197
00:14:26,799 --> 00:14:28,799
and my head hurt, and I
wanted to lie down somewhere, so I

198
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:33,440
made for the Imperial Hotel. If
Grimes had recommended. I took a shower

199
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,759
and polished off the drinks they sent
up, and I felt well enough to

200
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,399
call Grims again. But before I
lifted the phone, he walked into my

201
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:46,080
room with some interesting information. Sorry, you got to be up, Jenny.

202
00:14:46,679 --> 00:14:50,039
It's all right. I'm covered with
accident insurance. You know. I

203
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,600
wish I could help you with his
Jake Samuel's fellow, but I've never heard

204
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,759
of them. Thanks anyway, but
I'll I'll run him down sooner or later.

205
00:14:56,919 --> 00:15:01,159
I don't have something of mine out, Johnny. Yeah, we checked

206
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,879
all that cargo that was found in
the right truck, and I don't know

207
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:09,519
exactly what it means, but everything
was there except one barrel. What was

208
00:15:09,519 --> 00:15:13,679
that? A barrel? And listen
to others of all things, a barrel

209
00:15:13,759 --> 00:15:18,679
of jeweler's rules, the stuff they
use for gem policy. That's when an

210
00:15:18,679 --> 00:15:24,879
intelligent friend of mine told me it
was ensured that when I got right here,

211
00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:30,799
Sue one hundred and forty seven dollars. Now, why would anybody want

212
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,679
that? Well? Who sent it? A jeweler by the name of Ralph

213
00:15:33,919 --> 00:15:43,279
Morton Jewelry Company, thirteen twelve Shnnon
Joes Street, sent to Michael Adelson ad

214
00:15:43,399 --> 00:15:50,799
E ls O N. One seven
seven Carling Terrace, Boston, MASSI Aidelson

215
00:15:50,879 --> 00:15:58,720
or Addlson, Lom Johnny not sure
something rings a bell? Thanks a lot,

216
00:15:58,759 --> 00:16:02,919
great, I'll have a talk with
that jeweler, Ralph Morton in the

217
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:10,559
morning. In the morning, I
rented a small car and started for the

218
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,440
Morton Jewelry Company on Shenandoah Street.
I found it in the middle of the

219
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,039
block, a small, hungry looking
neighborhood jewelry store. But the most interesting

220
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,120
thing about it was standing in a
doorway across the street from it a middle

221
00:16:22,159 --> 00:16:26,799
aged man. He was a plant
that ever I saw. I ignored him

222
00:16:26,919 --> 00:16:30,600
and entered the store. There was
a small man with thinning brown hair bent

223
00:16:30,639 --> 00:16:36,159
over the inside of a watch,
and a snappy looking blonde job dusting counters.

224
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,120
About four paces away. I spoke
to the watchmaker. He took out

225
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:45,039
his eyelands and looked up. Yes, two days ago you shipped some jewelers

226
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:52,240
rouge to Michael Adolson and Boston.
Yes, I did. What about it?

227
00:16:52,519 --> 00:16:57,360
And it was hijack out of the
freight car yesterday? Clumsy This morning

228
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,119
you say stolen? Somebody wanted it
pretty bad. They passed up a lot

229
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:10,839
of other stuff more valuable. Who
are you Johnny Dollar Insurance Investigative with the

230
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,599
ship is in them that day company? Oh it was ensured, of course,

231
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,599
Well you should know for two hundred
and forty seven dollars. I'm sorry

232
00:17:18,599 --> 00:17:22,319
it was stolen. I presume your
company will have to pay for it.

233
00:17:22,559 --> 00:17:25,920
We don't mind paying if we know
what we're paying for. What do you

234
00:17:26,039 --> 00:17:30,000
mean by that? Why would anybody
gonna steal Rouge? I'm sure I don't

235
00:17:30,039 --> 00:17:32,119
know. Well, intead, I
went to a lot of expense and trouble,

236
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:36,599
and they murdered a man for good
measure? Andrea, why must you

237
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:44,160
always be knocking things down my hands? Well, be more careful. You

238
00:17:44,319 --> 00:17:48,319
say they killed a man, mister
Dollar. Surely they did not do this

239
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,839
over my little shipment of jewelers whose
it sounds stupid, I know, but

240
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,400
it was done. Why did you
send Rouge all the way to Boston and

241
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,359
Michaelatosson when you could buy the same
stuff there? Oh no, you're wrong.

242
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:02,240
This is a private formula I developed
myself. I sell her to a

243
00:18:02,319 --> 00:18:07,759
number of widely scattered people if they
seem to prefer my mixture. Who is

244
00:18:07,839 --> 00:18:11,680
Michael Stilson? It is sign of
expensive jewelry. His reputation in the field's

245
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,920
first class. Well, mister Morton, and so that's all for the lay,

246
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,160
but I'll be back. All the
time I was in there at the

247
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,559
blonde, Miss Phillips kept her blue
eyes and her pink ears focused on me.

248
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,960
My common sense spoke to my vanity
and told her to play dead.

249
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,400
She was interested in more than my
profile. Outside, I spotted the plant

250
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,559
across the street. I thought he
was growing in the doorway until I approached

251
00:18:37,599 --> 00:18:41,160
him. He ducked clumsily and walked
away with such obvious nonchalance that I was

252
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,799
tempted to follow him, and I
did, to a corner drug store with

253
00:18:45,839 --> 00:18:49,480
a good view of the Morton Jewelry
Company. We shared adjoining stools while he

254
00:18:49,519 --> 00:18:56,680
cut into a butterscotch Sunday. Hey, yeh, a little more butterscotch on

255
00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:00,480
this plie. It got twenty cents
special. What do you want for twenty

256
00:19:00,599 --> 00:19:07,680
cents butterscotch? H? Okay,
okay, I don't pay for it anyway.

257
00:19:08,279 --> 00:19:12,319
What's the job? Was it?
H? Of course you are beat

258
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:18,200
it. Yeah, we're both in
the same racket. Oh insurance. Are

259
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,039
you working on the Arcadia job too? No? What's the Arcadier? Job.

260
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,559
What are you working on a railroad
hijack? What's the Arcadier job?

261
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,319
Oh? Ben Sanchez is my name? Honey? You do though? How

262
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,200
you do? Yeah? I'm working
independent. I don't take divorce cases.

263
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,519
See. In two months, I
haven't had a decent job, but I

264
00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:41,079
got myself a little old idea.
You see, three months ago a wholesale

265
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,079
jewelry house was pride open, see, and two hundred and fifty thousand worth

266
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,519
of uncut stuff disappeared. And so
far none of it has showed up anywhere.

267
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,480
And somebody will pay a lot of
money if it's found, especially enough

268
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:57,000
that called the eerie mutual fidelity.
What's Morton's edge on it? Well,

269
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:03,240
I could be wrong. I seen
that guy operate for a number of years.

270
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,200
Thanks thanks the little jewelry store stuck
off in a forgotten part of the

271
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,880
city. You know, buys watches
for ten bucks and sells them for twelve.

272
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,240
Lots of guys do that, yeah, yeah, but they don't own

273
00:20:15,279 --> 00:20:18,920
a little old lady. Five thousand
dollar house to long Acre section, two

274
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,839
new cars in the garage. And
you think Morton has the Arcadia Jewels.

275
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,240
So I think he's been a fence
for a long time, and there's been

276
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,720
nothing good defense since the arcadier job. He has a record, he has

277
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,200
say what they steal of his from
a railroad car? Just some jewelers ruse

278
00:20:34,279 --> 00:20:40,559
and so ohe Maybe I'm wasting my
time, and I hope you pardon me.

279
00:20:41,319 --> 00:20:42,640
The blond came out of the jewelry
store with a coat and hat on

280
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:47,039
and climbed in an automobile parked down
the street. I made for my U

281
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,640
drive at model and followed her at
eight cents a mile. I was out

282
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:53,000
about a buck twenty five before she
shut off a key and coasted into a

283
00:20:53,079 --> 00:20:56,759
curb. I went past her around
the block, parked the car, and

284
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,960
sauntered back to the house she had
entered. It was just a house,

285
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,720
nothing special, or two more bricks, maybe flagstones instead of cement for a

286
00:21:03,759 --> 00:21:07,960
walk, But that was all.
I stood looking straight at the house when

287
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,119
it turned out I should have been
looking straight behind me. Why don't you

288
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:18,359
kind of put your hands behind your
neck that ship You won't need this sheeting?

289
00:21:18,839 --> 00:21:22,359
Seems to me I've heard that voice
before and it was just as unpleasant.

290
00:21:23,759 --> 00:21:32,720
Why don't you kind of walk into
the house. I would have been

291
00:21:32,759 --> 00:21:41,880
amused to know that I kind of
wanted. Sorry, he would have been

292
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,799
amused to know that I kind of
wanted to get into that house as much

293
00:21:44,799 --> 00:21:48,160
as he kind of wanted me to. We went up the walk arm in

294
00:21:48,279 --> 00:21:51,640
arm. He opened the door and
graciously allowed me to enter first. The

295
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,759
building room was empty, but I
could hear voices plainly in the next room.

296
00:21:55,839 --> 00:22:00,920
That stuff was worth more than you
ever sing. I'm looking for two

297
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:10,319
guys. Hey, it's me in
this world. It's me. We stood

298
00:22:10,319 --> 00:22:12,160
there, trench beaming and me frowning, and they came into the room.

299
00:22:12,599 --> 00:22:17,200
The guy was big, black hair
and overdressed the way the bartender had tagged

300
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,079
him. It was Jake Samuels,
all right, and hanging on his elbow

301
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,519
giving him a hot ear was the
jeweler's name. Samuels wasn't in too good

302
00:22:25,519 --> 00:22:29,440
a frame of mind. I'll blessed
all over town, and you won't people

303
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,160
touch me because I got protection.
How will you shut up? I got

304
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,079
to talk with a friend, Johnny
Dolla. Jake, welcome to my house,

305
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,400
just the same. It's too bad
you had to come. This isn't

306
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,839
exactly the day we're receiving. Well, I work weekends and this is the

307
00:22:44,839 --> 00:22:48,079
only time I could make it.
Jake will do the talk. And what

308
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,880
is it you want to see me
about last night and the night before?

309
00:22:52,079 --> 00:22:56,559
Oh? You mean when we roughed
you up? That and the Atlantic Central

310
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,400
job and Rix Blakey, whom you
killed at the wheel of his truck.

311
00:23:00,039 --> 00:23:03,119
And there's the little manner of your
blonde girlfriend here. I saw her in

312
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:08,599
Morton's jewelry shop. She couldn't possibly
be the phony reporter who was hanging around

313
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:14,519
the railroad yards? Or could she
shake this guy? Really? Shut up?

314
00:23:15,279 --> 00:23:17,359
Is that all you can say?
Yeah? Is that all you can

315
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:22,960
say? Shut up? I won't
for dollars? What are you talking in

316
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,000
front of him for? Oh?
I care about him? That you'll worry

317
00:23:27,039 --> 00:23:33,960
five thousand dollars, but three hundred
thousand worth of jewelry. Go on,

318
00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:36,759
now get out of here. Take
what your gotten. Consider it lucky.

319
00:23:37,319 --> 00:23:41,480
We took all the risk. Now
beat it, all right, I'll beat

320
00:23:41,519 --> 00:23:47,920
it when I come back. You're
gonna wish you what did Jake on your

321
00:23:48,079 --> 00:23:51,759
cheap? When she reached the door, she pulled a gun from somewhere,

322
00:23:51,839 --> 00:23:56,039
spun and trench got both slugs.
He dropped, groaning to the floor,

323
00:23:56,319 --> 00:24:00,200
and I kicked his gun into a
corner. Jake Samuel stood frozen to the

324
00:24:00,279 --> 00:24:06,279
rug, looking at the battle of
the automatics. You're going crazy or something

325
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,960
down that gun. God, they
shut up to me. Now go on

326
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,319
say it, you yellow toopid woman, be Andrew. You're making a big

327
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,240
mistake. No, am I going
to get my forty five thousand or not?

328
00:24:18,519 --> 00:24:21,559
But I don't have that much in
the house. Well, then call

329
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:26,480
somebody, come up with some jewelry. Yes, tomorrow tomorrow, I problem,

330
00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:30,720
not tomorrow today. Now I'm talking
to him. Why don't you get

331
00:24:30,759 --> 00:24:33,519
any ideas. Look, there's only
one way for you to get out of

332
00:24:33,519 --> 00:24:37,039
this, and that's to kill everybody
in this room. If you leave me

333
00:24:37,079 --> 00:24:38,400
alive, I'll track you down.
That's what I get paid for. If

334
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,519
you can't let you, I know
what I'm doing. If you leave trench

335
00:24:41,559 --> 00:24:45,079
at Jake alive, they'll get you
too. You bet we will, so

336
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,319
scared. Come on, Jacob,
the money right now, You've only got

337
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,440
a petty crime against you. Do
anymore and it'll be murdered. You'll last

338
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:59,880
a month if that long. Again, give me these two guys you cut,

339
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,839
turn them over to me, and
I'll go the limit and helping you.

340
00:25:02,839 --> 00:25:04,640
I'll forget the five thousands you got
from them. The most you can

341
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,720
get is a year in the county. Five thousand. Clear as good,

342
00:25:07,759 --> 00:25:12,400
though what happens to them? They
wanted a murder, I'll say in my

343
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:18,319
report you turn them over to me. Maybe you won't get anything. Of

344
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:19,759
course, I he's some tangry.
I'm as level as a guy can get.

345
00:25:19,799 --> 00:25:22,640
Come on, give me the gun, Miss Phillips. I don't know.

346
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:29,799
It's that or murder rap. Come
on, stay away from me.

347
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:34,599
It's freedom or murder? Which one
do you want? Give me the gun?

348
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:44,599
Here? Here, take it.
I just want to do this anyway.

349
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:51,640
For the start. This isn't living. This is this is dying every

350
00:25:51,839 --> 00:26:00,160
day. You're lucky you found it
out in time, Miss Phillips. You

351
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:06,279
know, except the guy in the
gas station, nobody ever called me,

352
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,880
Miss Phillips. And that Polon is
the way it all wound up. I

353
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,799
called the police and they took things
in hand. The jewels, of course,

354
00:26:15,839 --> 00:26:18,519
were buried in the barrel of the
jeweler's rouge, and Miss Phillips,

355
00:26:18,559 --> 00:26:22,759
knowing that Morton was unloading them at
Boston, sold the information to Jake and

356
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:27,680
friend for fifty thousand dollars, which
she didn't get. The Arcadia Wholesale Company

357
00:26:27,759 --> 00:26:30,880
jewels were in the stuff the police
picked up. Oh, by the way,

358
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,359
you'll notice one item on the expense
account four dollars and eighty five cents.

359
00:26:34,759 --> 00:26:38,880
That was a gift, a foam
rubber seat for if Grimm's surplus jeep.

360
00:26:40,519 --> 00:26:45,640
