Or I can see why, 26 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:15,000 even at this distance she sings too. I wouldn't have thought it necessary, 27 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,439 however, about my drink. So what happens? She makes big door. 28 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,479 Then she gets palsy with Joe Maxon, at that time a small punk. 29 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,080 But with her door, he works himself up where he's now on in the 30 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,000 biggest gambling joint this side of the Kifather Committee. So now he is a 31 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,039 big shot, and what happens? He won't even buy her a drink? 32 00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:38,280 Right, I don't want to Nora anymore? Don't even give her a doorback? 33 00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:42,039 You know something? Yes, I'm thirsty. She could kill him as 34 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,960 easy as swatting a fly.

Fair a dizzy spell? 53 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,519 She cut over it in a few seconds, walked out of here with no 54 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,560 difficulty, perfectly straight. She must have had some reason. Only two reason 55 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,720 Dam's got for leaning against the guy. The other one is they want to 56 00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:31,000 pick his pocket. Oh be that's what she did in a way. But 57 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:44,279 what she still wasn't money. It was my revolver tax see taxe. Are 58 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:50,160 you gonna do this? What her away? With her? Hey? How 59 00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:54,639 did you know my name? Louis told me. He also told me I 60 00:05:54,639 --> 00:05:58,759 should take good carrier should you ever stop or foot into my cam? Well, 61 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,639 my name is Eddie, and where would you like to with it? 62 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,120 And I'm very glad to know you're Eddie. Do you know where Joe Maxon's 63 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:11,319 establishment is? Yeah? Good, only enough fuss cycles. You know what 64 00:06:11,399 --> 00:06:15,079 they preferred to was an establishment. This is better known as a joint. 65 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,480 You're gonna maybe gamble a bit, and not exactly. A blonde just leaned 66 00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:23,680 against me, Eddie. Oh, that's bad. And she did it in 67 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,800 order to steal my gun. That's bad. Yeah, but I don't explain 68 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,279 where you're going to Maxin's. You think that maybe she swiped the gun to 69 00:06:30,319 --> 00:06:33,079 give it to him. I am afraid it wasn't the guns they thought of 70 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:53,399 giving to him, only the bullets in it. Looking for someone You're not 71 00:06:53,519 --> 00:06:58,639 Joe Maxon? Are you no? My name is Brent is h Maddie North? 72 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,199 Here? Maddie? Who wants to know? I do? That leaves 73 00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:06,360 me pretty much? Word farmer. My name is Simon Templer. The Saint 74 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,879 roomors do spread down? Think I have no idea where miss North is? 75 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,839 Well? I do. The idea is that she's here. What do you 76 00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:17,879 want it for? I'll tell her that is she here? Well? All 77 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,360 she was here a little while ago, at the moment the moment, I 78 00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:25,920 don't see here. Where is Maxim? I am not acquainted with your schedule, 79 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,600 and you're giving a very good imitation of an idiot. If it is 80 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,120 an imitation, where is Maxim's offer? It's a templar. I've got a 81 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,800 job is to keep the customers happy and mister Maxim undisturbed. If Maddie North 82 00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:39,680 gets to him, Maxim is going to be more than disturbed. What are 83 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,120 you talking about? She stole my gun in a bar a little while ago. 84 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,040 I believe her intentions were murderous. They concerned mister Maxim. Good heavens 85 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:53,839 are come along. If i'd only known matt you let her visit Maxim. 86 00:07:54,079 --> 00:07:57,120 Well you may not know this, but she and mister Maxim at one time 87 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,000 used to know what they used to be. And it's been a few gene 88 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,040 jes, however, perhaps, but everyone around here likes Maddie and she must 89 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:11,920 have been figuring on that through here. I Well, we're all hoping perhaps 90 00:08:11,959 --> 00:08:16,759 she and mister Maxim would get together again. The office is right down this 91 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:24,319 wayor I'd better not. Oh, someone else decided to knock first. It's 92 00:08:24,399 --> 00:08:26,480 locked. Have you got a key? Get it out quick? All right? 93 00:08:28,279 --> 00:08:35,480 Though we were shot her mind being brilliant here here, thanks, Max 94 00:08:37,399 --> 00:08:43,480 go forward unto his desk. Window behind him is open, a short drop 95 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:52,080 to an alley. We're a little late. Bullets went in under his left 96 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,080 shoulder. Blame mister Templer's dead. If that's what's bothering you? Now? 97 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:01,360 You see that man, Well, he's in a dark suit and his hair 98 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:22,639 is the same color. But that isn't maxim my throne. The police quiet 99 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,279 at the boys out front and disposed to the customers. I've been through the 100 00:09:26,279 --> 00:09:31,519 Little Stranger's pockets brand find anything a couple of ten dollars chips? Have you 101 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,120 ever been to Allentown, Pennsylvania? Brand? No, this man has. 102 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,879 How do you know that brilliance on my part? I looked at the label 103 00:09:39,919 --> 00:09:43,879 in his suit came from Hes Brother's department store in Allentown. Now you'd be 104 00:09:43,919 --> 00:09:48,360 just as brilliant and tell me his name, Carrie. He's a well a 105 00:09:48,639 --> 00:09:54,080 business competitor who rings a bell. Don't stop their brand. He and a 106 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,799 man named Harris run a rival establishment, the Red Wheel down the street. 107 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,120 Interesting, they've been doing well. No, as a matter of fact, 108 00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:09,039 mister Harris was here yesterday to see mister Maxims. He accused mister maximum unfair 109 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,879 practices designer among the in a way. Interesting. That doesn't explain why Carroy 110 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,440 died in Maxon's office. Now he's built something like mister max and he's wearing 111 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,240 a similar suit and from the alley. He could easily have been mistaken from 112 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,879 mister Maxon. Ur now let the police worry about that. You're leaving. 113 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:33,759 Yes, I've got her acclaim some property property stolen revolver from Mattie North. 114 00:10:33,039 --> 00:10:37,639 Yes, a lady who may have made a mistake. On the other hand, 115 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,240 she may not have had a chance to meaning what this is Maxon's office, 116 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:56,399 that's Maxon's desk. But where's Maxim? Hey, mister Tepler, just 117 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,440 we was pulling away from the Maxim's joint. Now the cops was pulling in, 118 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,159 and they always do after a murder. Eddie, Oh Machin ain't no 119 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,399 longer would if you mean present? The answer is yes, if you mean 120 00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:13,360 dad, I don't know who this you think helps me? A man named 121 00:11:13,399 --> 00:11:18,679 Carry was shot in Maxim's office haadly by mistake, not necessarily, however, 122 00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:22,279 Well that's okay by me. If it was a mistake, then his murderer 123 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,200 could have been Maddie North or possibly Harris, a business rival. Oh yeah, 124 00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:30,279 this is very clear to me. If, however, Carrie was shot 125 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,759 as Carrie, Ah, I beg your pardon. Well, I just thought 126 00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:37,320 this would be a nice place to say. Ah huh. So if a 127 00:11:37,519 --> 00:11:41,720 carry was shot as Carrie, the killer then might have been Maxim. Yes, 128 00:11:41,879 --> 00:11:45,720 so whichever will you look at it altogether? There are three suspects. 129 00:11:45,759 --> 00:11:50,000 Huh, yes, well that's a nice number. So who is it this 130 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,320 address that I'm taking it to? A blonde? A leaning blonde. Yes, 131 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,519 you want to find out if she's still leaning, that's right, or 132 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:18,879 if she fell. Hello, Maddie nach, I'm on my way to bed. 133 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,759 You usually got a bed with your clothes on. I didn't have a 134 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:28,480 chance to get them off if you came here directly from the bar. I 135 00:12:28,519 --> 00:12:33,600 went for a walk, A long walk, all right, A long walk 136 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,919 the way that the revolver didn't bother you. What revolver? The one you 137 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,159 borrowed from me? I didn't. I'd like it back. I don't have 138 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:48,240 it. He led it to a friend. No. I I realized I'd 139 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,679 been crazy. After I left the bar. I threw it away before or 140 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,840 after two shots were fired from it. Two shots. Where does that door 141 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,879 lead to that? It's it's the back door to the apartment, funny place, 142 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:05,000 al right opposite the front door. The architect had no imagination. What's 143 00:13:05,039 --> 00:13:09,120 interesting about that door, Maddie. Nothing you've been watching it ever since I 144 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:15,600 came in. I think i'll have a look at it that I'm mad about 145 00:13:15,639 --> 00:13:35,080 backdoors. M it's dark. You ought to speak to the landlord about m 146 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,919 Simon. All right, all right, I'm ready for my music. Lesson 147 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,320 music, I'm the harp? Or is this the other place? Let me 148 00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:52,279 help you? All right, Maddie, you're a female Benedict Arnold. I 149 00:13:54,159 --> 00:13:56,799 was happy on the floor and me my other head, diamond. Please, 150 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,759 are you all right mine? My head may not be bloody, but it 151 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,480 certainly got bowed. I was so worried what that door turning out to be 152 00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:09,679 a door leading to your bedroom, not the back door at all? I 153 00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:16,720 who hit me? There was an suitcase over the door shelf It fell when 154 00:14:16,759 --> 00:14:20,559 you opened the door, A suitcase with lungs. Maddie, it is breathing 155 00:14:20,679 --> 00:14:24,240 just before it hit me. No, shall we go look for that shelf. 156 00:14:24,279 --> 00:14:28,120 They don't usually build him over doors. It was in that room, 157 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,000 Maddie. I don't know. Could it have been Joe Maxim? You think 158 00:14:31,039 --> 00:14:35,080 I'd let him hide here? Oddly enough? I do, but I hate 159 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,720 him. It's possibly true you did steal my gun to kill him with didn't 160 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,960 you. Maybe I did, then you changed your mind, or perhaps you 161 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,519 didn't change your mind. Perhaps you did kill him. He's not dead, 162 00:14:45,559 --> 00:14:48,039 of course he isn't. But how did you know that? I knew it 163 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,720 because he's just been here, Maddie. Did you ever wear glasses? No? 164 00:14:52,879 --> 00:14:56,440 My eyes, the perfect wine? No? A man named Carrie? 165 00:14:56,679 --> 00:15:01,039 Carrie? I think so my tents was wrong. I should have said you 166 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,840 a man named Carrie. He's dead. Somebody shot him earlier this evening in 167 00:15:03,879 --> 00:15:09,320 Maxon's office, either because the killer thought he was Joe Max because he didn't. 168 00:15:09,399 --> 00:15:11,679 You're making up some kind of a joke. Of course, be sure 169 00:15:11,679 --> 00:15:16,080 to tell it to Joe the next time you see. He may die laughing. 170 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:30,759 Hello, Maddie, Joel, Yeah, did he temple you? He 171 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:35,240 guessed it was you, Just so long as he isn't sure, Maddie, 172 00:15:35,399 --> 00:15:39,120 I need some dough. I gotta stay hold up for a while. Why 173 00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:41,919 well, this business of Carrie getting bumped off in my office, the cups 174 00:15:41,919 --> 00:15:46,440 of level. I think maybe I bumped him off. He was sorry about 175 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,600 the way you did business, wasn't he? Joe? Yeah? But did 176 00:15:48,639 --> 00:15:54,159 you kill him? Joe? Until tonight you didn't even want to see me. 177 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,879 But when you get into jam, oh, it's not that, baby, 178 00:15:56,559 --> 00:16:00,279 I was busy. I was going to look you up the first It's 179 00:16:00,279 --> 00:16:03,519 like, God, sure, I wish I was dope enough to believe you, 180 00:16:04,679 --> 00:16:10,000 But even not believing you, I've got a few dollars, how can 181 00:16:10,039 --> 00:16:12,480 I get them to you? I gotta keep moving around. I'm done at 182 00:16:12,519 --> 00:16:15,799 park, grown up. Look baby, make it up on the bridge. 183 00:16:17,159 --> 00:16:21,759 The pedestrian war kind of are and I'll be all right. I'll be there, 184 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,960 Joe, fine, baby, fine, because I love you, No, 185 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:41,159 because I love you. Took it off a long time to find out 186 00:16:41,159 --> 00:16:45,120 about that leaning blonde, mister Templin, it did So did you find that? 187 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,720 Uh huh? I fell, mister Templin. No at it. Well, 188 00:16:48,759 --> 00:16:52,120 it could happen to anybody. It didn't to me. So some days 189 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,519 you can't make a nickel. Well that's why you're going through the red wheel. 190 00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,000 I think I should meet mister Harris. He may have some information. 191 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,599 He has also got crooked roulette wheels, and I won't play. You're playing, 192 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,359 mister Templar. From what I hear of mister Harris, you could easily 193 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:26,000 be playing with death. It's open, mister Harris. I'm Harris, you'd 194 00:17:26,039 --> 00:17:30,119 be templar. Your boys downstairs were very thorough about searching me. They're always 195 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:36,279 very thorough. They've got their orders. I notice you've got the window shades 196 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:41,799 drawn. Nervous playing it safe a habit of mine. Your partner felt the 197 00:17:41,839 --> 00:17:45,599 same way. No, Carrie was always on the reckless side, he said, 198 00:17:45,839 --> 00:17:51,519 was the cops have been here, Templar. Terrible tragedy, fine upstanding 199 00:17:51,559 --> 00:17:56,240 citizen like Carrie dead. I could spare your sarcasm. I'm not sure I 200 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,599 couldn't. But do you think killed him? Harris? The cops didn't tell 201 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,200 me you'd know. How much doubt do you think there is about Maxim? 202 00:18:04,039 --> 00:18:07,519 Is the killer? A good deal of doubt at the moment. You must 203 00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:11,839 have reasons I have. Maxin's club was doing very well yours, and Carries 204 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:17,559 isn't. Why should Maxim bother killing an unsuccessful competitor. Carry didn't care for 205 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,200 the way Maxon had been steering customers away from us. Carry, as I've 206 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,440 said, was on the reckless side. He probably told max And how he 207 00:18:23,519 --> 00:18:29,279 felt, and Maxim, being a sensitive plan, promptly killed Carry. It's 208 00:18:29,279 --> 00:18:33,440 a possibility. Don't you think I'm unarmed? In your club. I don't 209 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,640 think I can afford to do much thinking. It's on the house, thank 210 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,480 you. But still, and Harris, how did carry and you get along? 211 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,319 We got along fine. But you knew that's what I'd answer, whatever 212 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,559 the truth was, What is the truth? There's more than one way of 213 00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:53,279 answering anything, Templar, more than one way, Harris, You're quite right, 214 00:18:53,839 --> 00:18:57,000 I am, which means that I'm in a hurry about what if there's 215 00:18:57,039 --> 00:19:00,440 more than one way? I don't got it? Perhaps not, but I 216 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:18,440 suspect I've just discovered how Carrie got it. I was there, Simon, 217 00:19:18,519 --> 00:19:22,359 Templar, brand place all closed on. What do you think the cops have 218 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,960 an after us for a long time. Carrie shooting gives them their chance. 219 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,240 It's a pity. What are you doing all alone here at the bar, 220 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,599 repressing your tears, taking some nourishment. The vitamins can wait, Brand? 221 00:19:33,799 --> 00:19:40,119 How did Carrie get into Maxon's office? Must have sneaked in with you watching? 222 00:19:40,279 --> 00:19:41,759 Well, I guess he didn't sneak in through the front door. He 223 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,720 must have got in through that back window, the one that was open. 224 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:56,400 Let's go take a look at it all right. Last time I was here. 225 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,240 All I had time to do is take a quick look at that window. 226 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:07,279 There's something I've got to check you I'm going. I did mention there 227 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:12,079 was a drop to the alley from the window. Still is what does that 228 00:20:12,079 --> 00:20:15,759 mean? The theory has been for some time that maybe Carrie was shot by 229 00:20:15,839 --> 00:20:18,839 mistake. Yes it has been, and that would me need to have to 230 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,920 have been shot through that window. What's wrong with that? Is a drop 231 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,640 to the alley, Brand, somebody standing outside wouldn't be able to see into 232 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:32,880 the room or fire a gun at someone in the room. Maybe he stood 233 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,720 up so we got into the room seconds after the shooting. It wouldn't have 234 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,680 been time to remove anything from under the window. There wasn't anything under the 235 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,680 window. Brand, Why, I don't know what you're saying. Brand, 236 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,039 Carrie didn't sneak into the office. You let him in. No, there 237 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,920 must be more than one way into this room besides the front door. Well, 238 00:20:52,440 --> 00:21:03,759 that door leads to what bathroom? Another door here, it leads to 239 00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:11,519 the hallway too. Very nice, Brand, what's very nice? Kerry wasn't 240 00:21:11,559 --> 00:21:15,519 shot by mistake. Whoever shot him intended to kill him. You let carry 241 00:21:15,559 --> 00:21:19,000 in, perhaps deliberately. I didn't make you an accessory. I didn't have 242 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,359 any motive. Maxim might have had. Maxon didn't have opportunity. He didn't 243 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,559 know Kerry was in his office. But sure he did it. I mean 244 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,680 you mean max and new Carry was waiting for him. How did he know 245 00:21:30,799 --> 00:21:33,599 brand I don't have to answer that. It might be the only thing to 246 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,559 keep you out of the chair. Well maybe I told him. You're not 247 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,119 sure you said carry up from Maxim. That's not what I served. You 248 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:47,480 didn't have to. I think you'd better stay in town. Brent. Please 249 00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:51,799 get annoyed when they have to travel for their witnesses. Sometimes they get so 250 00:21:51,839 --> 00:22:06,519 annoyed they don't even let them turn state's evidence. A couple of time. 251 00:22:06,559 --> 00:22:08,160 You come back even quicker than the block. But if any good reason that 252 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,559 she's not home, Oh that ain't good. Raise than that, Eddie, 253 00:22:11,559 --> 00:22:15,000 it's bad. Well it ain't such a cold night. I gotta find her. 254 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,160 Door man told me stok a cab. But he noticed the kind of 255 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:25,400 camp that fame is yours will in that case we are in. You got 256 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:26,759 an idea, Eddie, Yeah, all of us camp be's up in this 257 00:22:26,799 --> 00:22:30,119 part of time. You see we hang out at Sammy's and we ain't got 258 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,480 a fair Sammy. Yeah, that's a station a couple of blocks over toward 259 00:22:33,519 --> 00:22:37,640 the river. If the campy that dropped the blond any places around, I 260 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,319 will learn all. Hey, couple, think of us about time that I 261 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:56,000 learned to walk. Anyway, Eddie, you are sure your information is cracked. 262 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,519 Yeah, the blonde took her camp to the New York end of the 263 00:22:57,519 --> 00:23:00,400 Brooklyn Bridge. She got out, she stopped walking across the bridge. That's 264 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,720 what you're telling me before. But the truth that canby happens to be my 265 00:23:03,799 --> 00:23:07,960 brother in law, and he always tells the truth, sure, except to 266 00:23:07,039 --> 00:23:11,119 my sister. But why would Maddie be walking on the bridge at this hour 267 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,559 of the night. Who can tell about blonde? Of course she might be 268 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:34,720 meeting someone there, or she may decide to jump. I don't hear any 269 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,799 I didn't see you. Not my habit of standing on the lamp posts. 270 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,880 It's so dark up here on the bridge, so dark and co I never 271 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:52,640 mind the emotions you got the dough. Yeah here, Joe, thanks baby, 272 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,279 Thanks baby? Is that all you've got to say to me? Joe? 273 00:23:56,559 --> 00:24:00,599 Somebody coming? Turn you back to the we'll lean over the rail right. 274 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:12,519 Whoever it was is gone. Yeoh Maddie, Maddie, I think you 275 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:18,400 swell. Sure. Maybe I didn't always act like I appreciated you, But 276 00:24:19,319 --> 00:24:22,240 once I get out of this message, I never wanted to see me again. 277 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,200 Oh not. Don't be like that, baby, I mean everything I 278 00:24:26,279 --> 00:24:30,160 say. Oh yeah, I better scrambling. Would it be asking too much 279 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:40,759 if I wanted you to kiss me? No? Thanks, I I gotta 280 00:24:40,839 --> 00:24:52,519 hurry so long, Maddie, I'll be seeing it, Maddie. How Sidon? 281 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,480 Where's Maxim? I don't know. I haven't got time to be cute. 282 00:24:56,839 --> 00:24:59,400 I came from the New York end of the bridge, Max and didn't 283 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:00,799 pass me. Must have gone on to Brooklyn. Simon. What do you 284 00:25:00,839 --> 00:25:03,079 want with him? You may not believe it, but I'm trying to save 285 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,480 his life. Did anyone pass you in Maxim on the bridge? Yes? 286 00:25:07,039 --> 00:25:11,880 Someone. We had our backs chained so we didn't see who it's who I 287 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:30,079 think it is? Funny? Yes, Yes, it's Maximum. He's dead. 288 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,640 Whoever killed him is heading for the Brooklyn and end of the bridge. 289 00:25:33,079 --> 00:25:37,759 It's got to start, perhaps too much of a starting list. Where are 290 00:25:37,759 --> 00:25:41,200 you going? I'm climbing down to the roadway. Perhaps I can get a 291 00:25:41,279 --> 00:25:55,720 hitch, but I don't understand it. Mister, don't try. I haven't 292 00:25:55,799 --> 00:25:59,279 enough time to explain for coming to the end of the bridge. Slow down 293 00:25:59,319 --> 00:26:02,200 here, well, but I don't want to get in any trouble about the 294 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:11,160 thanks. What's it all about? Murder? Oh dear, goodbye, good 295 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,920 evening, mister Harris. In a hurry, mister Harris, I was taking 296 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,759 a walk on the bridge, taking a run. You mean, well. 297 00:26:19,039 --> 00:26:22,759 I don't mind admitting I'm out of condition. It's sadly true, but I 298 00:26:22,839 --> 00:26:26,279 really must go along. I haven't a point where you have. I don't 299 00:26:26,319 --> 00:26:37,119 need a gun. It must still be warm, thank you, It is 300 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,319 still warm. Why, yes, mister Harris, I'll get you for this. 301 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,440 I can understand why you're so upset. Mister Harris, had made you 302 00:26:44,559 --> 00:26:48,000 late for your appointment, haven't I hello? Worry Even if you are late, 303 00:26:48,039 --> 00:27:11,400 the executioner always waits. Oh the things that happened on bridges and mister 304 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,440 Templer, we have not deposited the blond who wasn't only not leaning, she 305 00:27:15,599 --> 00:27:21,519 was collapsing, poor Maddie. Yeah, and we have also deposited on mister 306 00:27:21,559 --> 00:27:25,000 Harris with some policeman, and they were very happy to collect them. But 307 00:27:25,319 --> 00:27:29,640 do I know what happened? He murdered Joe Maxim up on the bridge. 308 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,599 Yeah you all right, But then all you did was just to hit your 309 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:33,759 right on a car and then you beat him to the other round of the 310 00:27:33,759 --> 00:27:37,640 bridge and you grab him. Now, mister Templer, I will admit that 311 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,359 this was a public spirited action maybe with honest it ain't woidy view. What 312 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,799 do you mean, no clothes? Oh but Daddie, I already knew it 313 00:27:45,799 --> 00:27:49,200 would be Harry. Oh huh, all right, well now I'm beginning to 314 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:52,759 feel better, So tell me how did you already know there would be Harris 315 00:27:53,039 --> 00:27:56,559 who could have killed Carry. One theory was that Garry had been shot by 316 00:27:56,599 --> 00:28:03,160 a mistake for a Maxim that might have involved Maddie, but I eliminated that 317 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,400 possibility on my second trip to Maxon's play. Oh yeah, she did the 318 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:12,039 business about the alley. Yeah yeah. Another possibility was that Maxim and Carry 319 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:18,039 quarreled and that Maxim shot Carry. Yeah. This sounds reasonable except for the 320 00:28:18,079 --> 00:28:21,519 fact that, as I mentioned at the time, Carry was shot under the 321 00:28:21,599 --> 00:28:25,960 left shoulder blade, meaning he was shot in the back. He wouldn't have 322 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,440 turned his back on an open enemy like Maxim. Oh yeah, this also 323 00:28:30,519 --> 00:28:34,119 sounds reasonable. So that left Harris. Yeah yeah. By killing his own 324 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:40,839 partner and framing Maxim, Harris hoped to eliminate a business rival, thereby making 325 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:45,039 his own gambling club more valuable and at the same time gaining soul ownership of 326 00:28:45,319 --> 00:28:49,880 Ahi. Yeah. This guy was trying to kill two bodes with one stone 327 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:55,279 A Hi. Yeah, you're right Eddie when I should drive you home now? 328 00:28:55,359 --> 00:28:56,920 As the template, Hi, I guess so, Eddie. It's not 329 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:15,720 a blond insight, not even a leaning one.

You're listening to the great detectives of Old time Radio with Adam 354 00:31:53,240 --> 00:32:04,079 Graham. And now let's get back into the show. Welcome back. Well. 355 00:32:04,119 --> 00:32:09,519 I love Sheldon Leonard, but he's not a good substitute for Larry Dopkin 356 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:15,480 as Louie. There were some people, I think, during the golden age 357 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:21,039 of radio who thought you could replace one regular character with any other regular character. 358 00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:25,240 In fact, sometimes the stars of radio programs, the main stars, 359 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:30,519 are changed without any notice or thought that a change is being made. It's 360 00:32:30,559 --> 00:32:34,559 just all of a sudden, here's your new star, folks. And I 361 00:32:34,559 --> 00:32:39,079 think that's definitely the case with Louie. In this case, the script really 362 00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,480 sounds like it was written for Louie. They couldn't get him at the last 363 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,440 minute, and so they substituted in Eddie. Louie is of course very well 364 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:52,599 beloved, and that does bring me to a survey we ran over on Great 365 00:32:52,640 --> 00:33:00,599 Detectives dot Net on our Facebook page at Facebook dot com Slash Radio Detectives asking 366 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:07,160 people who their favorite sidekick or partner was on the current shows we had, 367 00:33:07,279 --> 00:33:14,000 and Louie actually won running away with sixty three percent for Louie, twenty six 368 00:33:14,119 --> 00:33:22,759 percent for Ben Romero on Dragnet, and eleven percent like Patsy Bowen, Nicky 369 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:29,119 Porter from Ellery Queen, Walda McGlenn and Scubby Wilson were listed but didn't receive 370 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,559 any votes. So you know what we want, more Louie, and hopefully 371 00:33:32,559 --> 00:33:36,279 we'll get it all right, Well, that we'll do it for today. 372 00:33:36,359 --> 00:33:39,440 Join us back here tomorrow for the adventures of Ellery Queen, and next Monday 373 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:45,720 another adventure with Simon Templar as the Saint.
