1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,279 I always say, if you take a trip halfway around the world, you've 2 00:00:03,319 --> 00:00:13,279 got to expect you'll get your ticket punch. This is another in the adventures 3 00:00:13,279 --> 00:00:20,199 of America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator Johnny Dollar. That insurance investigation Johnny Dollar is 4 00:00:20,199 --> 00:00:35,359 only an expert at making out his expensicouse. He is an absolute genius spens 5 00:00:35,359 --> 00:00:42,719 accounts submitted by special Investigator Johnny Dollar, who the constant Son Trading Company Hiro 6 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,880 Egypt and may I say this is an unexpected pleasure. The one thing I 7 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,520 didn't expect him up into during this case was somebody to pay the bills. 8 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,759 It started out being my answer to a fire alarm round twelve thousand miles away 9 00:00:56,799 --> 00:01:00,880 by an old wartime friend. It wound up being a game of who gets 10 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,760 killed first with a bunch of guys who suddenly declared themselves a small peacetime war. 11 00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:08,840 It's a different to the pinion arose over a little hassle I might call 12 00:01:10,519 --> 00:01:21,040 the expiring Nickels and the Egyptian Jackies. Trans accounts it don't want twenty two 13 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:26,400 hundred dollars air transportation from Little old Connecticut to Big Old French Indo, China. 14 00:01:26,239 --> 00:01:30,640 Or specifically in Hartford to hapning. That's why I got off the plane 15 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,359 to take a breather, but had ter smelling the air. I'm getting hipped 16 00:01:34,359 --> 00:01:38,840 my face with a bucket full of lukewarm raindrops. I got right on another 17 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,799 plane, bound for my destination, where I'd been summoned by an urging cable 18 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:57,359 calcutters. We took off on instruments in the downflour of a drenching monsoon with 19 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,000 like climbing up a waterfall blindfolded. We got chased up to twenty thousand feet 20 00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:07,359 player up into the penthouse by a batch of black hearted thunderheads laced with lightning. 21 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,560 And there we stayed, sucking oxygen for nine riary hours and waiting for 22 00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:27,800 the moment we'd get off our island. In the sky transit house, I 23 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,919 done two three rupees transportation from airport to the address of old friend would summon 24 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:42,479 me a place you'd never expect to find trouble in church, and what a 25 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,879 church. Two quoncert huts on chow RANGI rode A couple of dozen wooden benches 26 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:53,520 are required USO Hammond Organs, and the most important is panthers. A guy 27 00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:57,080 i'd met when I was calling the CBI. There my home away from home. 28 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,199 Champlin, Joe, blessing. That is to see you a long time, 29 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:05,000 Joe, too long. I haven't changed a bit since you were passing 30 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,039 out those sl slips unhappy GI. So you did decide to stay on here 31 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:14,240 after all? Yeah? Yeah, I decided East Indian brand. The fool 32 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,599 needed a little more saving than the kind I used to know back in Magnolia. 33 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:22,560 Simancy, come on in the opportunities. It was good of you to 34 00:03:22,599 --> 00:03:25,080 come right over. You must be wondering why you did well? Your tables 35 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,319 did. Got to worry too, Joe. You know when a next shoulder 36 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,840 against the troubles off a chaplain something's really wrong. What does so now that? 37 00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:39,000 Johnny tell me? I would you like to do some work in my 38 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,360 defunction? Wait a minute, I wouldn't know where to start. I'm asking 39 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,960 you to save a man's souls and to save another man's life while you're doing 40 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,759 it. Why me, Joe, Why did I ask you to come all 41 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,840 the way from Hospit Connecticut? Well, Johnny, the ways a deva. 42 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,319 There wasn't time for me to do anything else. If I'd gone through the 43 00:03:57,319 --> 00:04:00,560 proper channels, here if I'd become involved with all the inevitable red cape, 44 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,240 well, there just wasn't time, Johnny. There's a man in Cairo waiting 45 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,120 to be executed at dawn there after tomorrow for a murder he didn't commit. 46 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,599 And here in Calcutter, and here in Calcuttr is a man who not only 47 00:04:14,639 --> 00:04:17,240 witnessed that crime, but has in his possession the evidence that can save that 48 00:04:17,319 --> 00:04:21,120 man from swinging. Uh huh? Who is this man? A flying rope 49 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:26,800 band Lionel Brooke Nichols. He's the president of a vast enterprise called the Constant 50 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,439 Son Trading Company. Now, Johnny, I wasn't ignoring the fact that you 51 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,319 worked for a living. I'm sure that if you're successful, it's the name 52 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:39,000 your own praise. This is not a quote realism, Johnny. But mister 53 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,240 Brook Nichols has nothing but money. I didn't realize that such big man got 54 00:04:43,319 --> 00:04:46,079 into such big trouble. Oh he didn't get into it all by hisself. 55 00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:48,879 Oh no, Oh, this particular big man had the bad luck to have 56 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,720 a fun loving cousin who'd like to see him out of the way, and 57 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:57,480 the fast of the vettle name of Miles Atkinson. He must be some sort 58 00:04:57,519 --> 00:05:00,480 of big wheel in the Egyptian government. I saw I know about him, 59 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,720 except that the game control of the Constant Sun Company. He would move heaven 60 00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:06,959 on earth to see Brook Nichols dead. Well, I don't care what he 61 00:05:06,959 --> 00:05:11,160 does with the Earth, but I guess I can't stand by and let him 62 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,439 mess around with your heaven. Now let's get down occasion. What about this 63 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,120 dude here in Calcutter, the witness for the evidence. Well, his name's 64 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:24,279 William Briggs. He's a very sick man sonner knowing that he might die soon, 65 00:05:24,319 --> 00:05:27,480 and it looks like he might. He's at a sudden rush of conscience 66 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,639 for the mouth he wants to talk. Evidently he's decided that since it's too 67 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,160 late to save his body, he'd better do a quick job on his soul 68 00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:38,920 and I nurse him. The tyro is that no, I'm sending a young 69 00:05:38,959 --> 00:05:41,639 assistant of mine who will take that job off your hands. I think you'll 70 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,319 like him, Jurney. Now I want you to get Briggs to the right. 71 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,839 Official arrangements have been made for an ambulance to meet you in Cairo, 72 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,480 and well we've started a cargo plane to take you there. Now the pilot 73 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,040 says he can get you there but tomorrow night. Well, I spent so 74 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,879 much time in the air getting here that it shouldn't make any difference. But 75 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,959 why a cargo plane one on a passenger plane? They have nice soft feat 76 00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:17,120 So Johnny the airlines refused to transport a lesson. Heaven sure has some good 77 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,759 salesman on the road, and Chaplain Joe Blessing is one of the best. 78 00:06:21,959 --> 00:06:26,800 Before I knew it, a big Horizon's unlimited plane was lifting off the runway 79 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,240 at Calcutter and I was in it, sitting on a suitcase. It looked 80 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,439 like I'd never had five to one tax. The invalid Briggs was forward being 81 00:06:33,439 --> 00:06:40,800 betted down under the gentle hand of Chaplain Joe's assistance. Franky, Well, 82 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,519 that is done, and I give up me Saturday afternoon at belm on pot 83 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,720 for it. You're in luck, Frankie. Think of all the losers you 84 00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:51,600 miss betting on mister dollar. You have the philosophy of a man who has 85 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:57,120 never enjoyed the exquisite trill and losing his last two dollars upon a horse who 86 00:06:57,199 --> 00:07:00,160 was retarding the improvement of the breeze. The young man you've never heard of 87 00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:05,040 the Bluegrass branch or the Dollar family, Kentucky, Sir, mister dollars, 88 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,480 they were not for a citing horse in Kentucky named Briefy Boy who ran a 89 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,120 very poor eighth at Rockingham. I would not only be a Kentucky colonel, 90 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,759 I would be a Kentucky general passing the time of day with my esteemed cold 91 00:07:15,879 --> 00:07:23,519 general three star ennessy hits. That's it, here's briefcage breaks. He wants 92 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,279 you to take care of it. And what's that? What's in it? 93 00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:29,360 Should be in a holster. How do you know, mister Dollar, I 94 00:07:29,399 --> 00:07:31,399 got a such a field. Besides, I look, it's the Lucas a 95 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,759 Louder. Huh yeah, of that, I'd say. We are now in 96 00:07:36,879 --> 00:07:44,560 possession of the evidence the murder weapon in first exhibit A. Good still loaded 97 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:56,040 with Exhibit A making an arsenal out of my right coat pocket. We touched 98 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,639 wheels at Bombay for three hours and fuels and then I'll hiked back up for 99 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:18,319 the run across the Arabian Sea. We made landfall high on the coast of 100 00:08:18,399 --> 00:08:22,360 Saudi Arabia and the freight of the cuff shoreline let us on of the Queen 101 00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:26,839 of Siva's old hometown hot while we sat down again for servants, airplane and 102 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,759 personal. Frankie and I got our sick man Briggs out and into the shade 103 00:08:31,759 --> 00:08:35,080 of a hangar, figuring he'd use a breath of fresh air, but he 104 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,039 didn't find it in that sun baked hell hole. Rubby little ground crew burned 105 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,840 up four valuable hours taking their own unsweet time servicing the ship. That left 106 00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:48,360 us just eight hours to get Briggs in his evidence up to Cairo, and 107 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,799 left me almost enough time to save with the brook Nichols and taking the rope 108 00:08:50,879 --> 00:08:58,480 ride. Estimated time of arrival midnight, time of execution six am, and 109 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:07,559 I've learned that British official are hard to wake up. Pilot stood the ship 110 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,240 straight on the tail and made a quite a take off getting out of there. 111 00:09:13,799 --> 00:09:16,799 We were forty minutes out of out, about five thousand feet above the 112 00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:20,159 Red Sea when we ran into what I've learned to expect in my business, 113 00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:24,639 be unexpected. Oh could uh, I've heard you, gentlemen? Tell me 114 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,279 where I pay my share? Well for tru Where did you come from? 115 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:33,240 Hey? Walk on like this? I have not seen spinzmane. It's all 116 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,720 right. Gentlemen, you can top your eyes back. And you've seen a 117 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,759 woman before. I remember a scoop one up out of the sky before it. 118 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,759 Could it be she's an angel? What are you doing here? I'm 119 00:09:43,799 --> 00:09:46,720 afraid I'm what you'd call her still away? How'd you get aboard when the 120 00:09:46,759 --> 00:09:52,000 plane was empty? I lost myself in the pocket room. I'm sorry I 121 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,200 had to do it this way, but I have to get the kiro immediately. 122 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,279 The next airline fly doesn't go out till eleven to night. I should 123 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,360 have ride to the captain. I have him turned around. Dump your back. 124 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,399 I'm perfectly willing to pay my way. Don't worry. We can't spare 125 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,360 the time, mister dollar. There are only certain things which make air travel 126 00:10:07,399 --> 00:10:11,679 a pleasure to certain people. With me. That is a stewardess, and 127 00:10:11,759 --> 00:10:15,120 I would be glad to brief her about her duty. Uh, you go 128 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,200 check the patient, frank you, I'll check my stowaway. Ah, that's 129 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,279 what comes. I'm always being only in the system.

It's also a secret how you get into that little 134 00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:43,559 dress you're wearing. I'm glad you like it, address yet secret snow. 135 00:10:43,879 --> 00:10:46,200 When I find myself in an airplane of stowaway, I smell trouble. That 136 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,360 trouble you smell across eighty five dollars an hour. I listen to saviors sharp 137 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,960 talk for a cocktail, Aunes, don't waste it hair. You must think 138 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:58,519 I'm kidding. That's a serious You're flying across international boundaries. Who are you 139 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:05,759 too fat? Saviian kiss, here's my passport and here is money?

She didn't jump, 143 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,200 and after seven and a half more droning hours, I was glad of it. 144 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:37,519 Faate Sabian was all woman, all beautiful. Oh, in a pretty 145 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,679 nice relief. I'm watching the time run through my wrist watch. She spent 146 00:11:41,799 --> 00:11:45,440 most of the trips hearing my suitcase when they but once I looked up at 147 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,960 her, which she was shillouetors against the windows posed against that move throught the 148 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,960 Gyptian sky. It was almost worth a trip the way she looked wearing those 149 00:11:54,039 --> 00:12:00,159 stars in the aircos about vent a vague glowing the horizon took over when my 150 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,840 conscience left off. We were coming in the Cairo, and the problem of 151 00:12:03,879 --> 00:12:07,279 landing fifty thousand pounds of airplane replaced the problems landing one hundred and twenty pounds. 152 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:18,840 A woman I've never learned. I have a whole back a sty of 153 00:12:18,919 --> 00:12:24,879 relief when I heard those big tires take along the runway, and I tried 154 00:12:24,919 --> 00:12:31,600 another one when I saw an ambulance standing by at the parking ramp. When 155 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,639 the time the loading platform was pushed in the place and the door opened, 156 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,000 the ambulance was banked up ready to receive break.

We returned to 176 00:14:24,159 --> 00:14:46,639 the second act of Yours Truly Age, Johnny Dollar. I had made four 177 00:14:46,679 --> 00:14:48,960 steps toward the content when I heard Frankie yell, and I haven't stepped back 178 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,720 toward the door when I heard the shot. By the time I got to 179 00:14:52,759 --> 00:14:54,279 the top of the ramsey m and I sent about twenty yards away. It's 180 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,960 hit it against that distance for two overlapping thoughts. One I might have stopped 181 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,480 or they slow it down with the punch of the rear. Tryers to the 182 00:15:03,559 --> 00:15:05,240 two of hand. Was that loaded exhibit at Luga that should have been in 183 00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:13,279 my pocket? It wasn't there. I looked around, didn't see it, 184 00:15:13,799 --> 00:15:16,840 but I thought I knew where to find it. Come on, come on, 185 00:15:16,919 --> 00:15:20,600 open up. I'll put the spires because of that joy, and if 186 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:26,360 your head of them in the way, I'll get that bonn more. Don't 187 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:31,159 use the same hiding place twice. It could be that I wasn't hiding, 188 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,240 and it could be that that purse is now holding a luger. Give me 189 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:39,759 it. Yeah, Now, all I need is to hear you say you 190 00:15:39,799 --> 00:15:41,759 don't know how it got there. I don't know how it got there. 191 00:15:41,879 --> 00:15:45,360 That does it? Come on? You're coming with me, Come on, 192 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:52,720 go Oh, you don't have to do that. What I did have to 193 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,559 do was dig up some transportation. It turned out to be a taxi whose 194 00:15:56,639 --> 00:15:58,879 driver had slept for the excitement and therefore was the only one I thought, 195 00:16:00,159 --> 00:16:04,799 And he was still asleep when I gave my unwilling companion and ungentlemanly shove into 196 00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:15,759 the rear seat, and we left. Nobody in full control of their faculties 197 00:16:15,799 --> 00:16:21,960 could drive the way hit it. He knew he had a horn, but 198 00:16:22,039 --> 00:16:27,559 somebody had forgotten to tell him about. Break I had to go on was 199 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,600 the direction in which that ambulance had taken off, straight toward Cairo. So 200 00:16:32,879 --> 00:16:40,519 that's where we went, straight toward Cairo.

You're all working for the same guy. What 207 00:17:04,039 --> 00:17:08,079 the same guy, Miles Atkinson, the guy that's trying to keep witness breaks 208 00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:11,920 and his evidence from saving Brooke Nichols from hanging about five and a half hours. 209 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:17,400 You're being give me his aye.

They have 215 00:17:34,559 --> 00:17:57,240 a nice little game they play with combinations like that. Hello, are you 216 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:02,480 the chief inspector? I am. This girl keeps telling me her name is 217 00:18:02,599 --> 00:18:07,400 Faith Fabian. How do you do, Inspector? I'll I'll bet my name 218 00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:11,319 is Johnny Dollar. I'm looking for somebody who knows the Brook Nichols case. 219 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,400 Well, you pert indicated the right place I know about the Brook Nichols case. 220 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,200 Well that's what I'm here about.

He was 224 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,880 an eyewitness the murder. I brought him all away from Calcutter and somebody put 225 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,319 a slash on him at the airport. Only at last they grabbed the guy 226 00:18:38,319 --> 00:18:41,559 who was helping me. Oh, yes, yes, that would be the 227 00:18:41,599 --> 00:18:45,599 obstreperous young gentleman you call Frankie. Well you know where he is, Yes, 228 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,440 indeed I do. Things are all right? Yes? Is you could 229 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,000 call a man all right? And he's just been arrested for the murder of 230 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,920 mister Biggs murder. Yes, mister Briggs, will softened the ambulance that took 231 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:02,599 him from your plate. Okay, what is this? This is a very 232 00:19:02,599 --> 00:19:06,160 good time for both of you to remain perfectly still, mister Ballad. After 233 00:19:06,279 --> 00:19:11,160 you raise your hands, there's misstad and you needn't bother. There's hardly enough 234 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,119 of that dress to conceal all of you, let alone the weapon. Thank 235 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,400 you, mister Ballard. This is what a romanticist with Polly poetic ins us. 236 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,920 You see this lugo, the evidence that you call it happens to belong 237 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:29,599 to me, because that's the murder weapon. Who are you anyway? Deep 238 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:37,559 of inspectors miles An Miles Atkinson. Oh no, oh, yet five five 239 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,519 thousand miles from cow cut out to put you in the hands of the police, 240 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,799 and you turn out to be the police. Bloody convenience. Isn't it 241 00:19:44,839 --> 00:19:49,039 not for me? It isn't steady old one. You know, this gun 242 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,359 was probably the most fortunate purchase I haven't made in my life. First, 243 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:57,400 it killed a man who was in my way. Then because it disappeared, 244 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:02,920 it made it possible for me to estab is false evidence ostensibly proving that my 245 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,359 esteemed cousin, Bruce Nichols was guilty of the murder. And now his death 246 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:12,200 by Hans will place in my hands the controlling interists of the Constant Sun Trading 247 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:17,200 Company. Quite a bargain, Thank you, mister Dollar. Not you the 248 00:20:17,319 --> 00:20:21,319 gun which I shall now put to its final use, and after it is 249 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,000 disposed of you two is who disposed of it? That was the prettiest compassion 250 00:20:25,039 --> 00:20:29,319 I've ever heard. I'm surprised that the peek inspector and bargain hunters to sell 251 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,559 himself out. So speaking, what do you mean by that that the concession 252 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,279 was complete voluntarily made in front of witnesses, and that we are leaving with 253 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:37,960 it, and that you are coming with us. Hey, fright, baby, 254 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,200 take it easy. No sense going on to make for a hot bullet. 255 00:20:41,279 --> 00:20:45,079 Mister Dollar is right. I warn you, the one who moves first 256 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:51,599 dies first. Very well. Heait one step close to Misstadian. I'm not 257 00:20:51,759 --> 00:20:56,200 afraid of you, all right, you are for it, now'll take it. 258 00:20:56,279 --> 00:21:02,279 No, it's not bullet light and Ladies says so fine. Out boy. 259 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,440 He did throw the gun, but not at me. Had the single 260 00:21:11,519 --> 00:21:14,079 light picture in the middle of a ceiling, and when that one out, 261 00:21:14,079 --> 00:21:18,400 saw at Atkinson out through the door, and the case was odd. There 262 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,480 was no dope. He knew what the light whiches were he as we went 263 00:21:21,559 --> 00:21:25,000 racing past them and twitched them off. It was like a night fline without 264 00:21:25,039 --> 00:21:29,079 gun up a carrot and might diet saving him down a long empty echoy card 265 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:34,240 or enough to spare for the roof at the door of the roof, I 266 00:21:34,319 --> 00:21:37,640 drew on our break. I threwing him on our face. He was sharp 267 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,039 and it was dark, but I was scared. I think that Atkinson might 268 00:21:42,039 --> 00:21:48,119 have picked up a weapon on the way, and that turned out to be 269 00:21:48,200 --> 00:22:00,440 and underrest of it what he had picked up was a fire hose through that 270 00:22:00,519 --> 00:22:03,240 door. We got hit by a big back boat of liquid lightning, a 271 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,079 couple of hundred pounds of water backed up by a couple of thousand pounds of 272 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,079 pressure. It felt like a salmon swimming upstream to spawn at the edge of 273 00:22:10,079 --> 00:22:12,119 the roof, braced against the low parapets, where Atkinson using all his weights 274 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,480 that keeps a rising nozzles from flipping him around. He was just one man 275 00:22:15,559 --> 00:22:22,119 on a fire department terrace. Great, I'm all around here this side. 276 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,119 Try throw that water off hiding which is get over that valve. He a 277 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,200 swim that wheel over there the end of the hose. He ate on put 278 00:22:30,319 --> 00:22:42,119 off the water. Come on, how can I go? Instead of dropping 279 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,960 away, it would dribble. A suddenly snapped its muscle up to a target 280 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:53,960 that the driving surge of water went through it, and before Atkinson to gut 281 00:22:55,039 --> 00:22:57,440 himself unentangled from the canvas and rubber snake, it snapped him over the parapet, 282 00:22:57,559 --> 00:23:03,160 off the roof and high end of the night. He fat turn off 283 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:18,480 and order, Oh I what a justice baby, and fire a hose through 284 00:23:18,559 --> 00:23:22,720 mister Chief Inspector Atkinson off the roof, and he made a hole in one 285 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,200 right through. That's gallows down there, the same gallows from which Brooke Nichols 286 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:33,160 was supposed to hanging a few hours. That's horrible. Let's let's move away 287 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,839 from you. He would have. I'd not like you, after all. 288 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,599 You're the gallows turned that water up and stood it down. He wanted it 289 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,000 done right. Why didn't you send a plumber. I don't want to ask 290 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,079 you if you met it that way or not, as well as I'm concerned 291 00:23:45,079 --> 00:23:48,359 to turn out to turn out just jolly this way. And while I'm at 292 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,519 it, I'd like to fight you for taking such a brave chance with my 293 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,799 life downstairs in the office. Oh really, mister Joll, I knew that 294 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,920 gun wasn't loaded. I unloaded it myself back in the powder room and there 295 00:24:00,079 --> 00:24:03,720 just before you accuse me of trying to steal it. Remember, the next 296 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,359 time I take a shower, I promised to wash my mouth out with soap. 297 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,400 But now I figure it's also about time you came clean.
