Sabotage transcribed at the Serve George Valentine. 30 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:38.159 Damn, miss a Valentine, how would you like to do three things? 31 00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:40.280 See a bit of the world, solve a situation for me, and 32 00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:45.080 be of service to your country. On second thought, the order of those 33 00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:49.240 three things should be reversed. In any case, if you're available for such 34 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:53.560 an assignment at your regular pee plus, please call on me as soon as 35 00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:59.960 possible. At the ask you're very truly Miles Card you're president, are interesting, 36 00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:01.680 Brooksy. I'm sort of a yen to see some of the world. 37 00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:06.639 Oh, George, how do you know you're included in? Oh? Well 38 00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:12.840 I don't, but you ought to be able to fix it. Why i'se 39 00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.319 kind of president. I'm president of what. Oh let's see actually mining and 40 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:23.199 smelling company? At you here on this letter? Well wow, let's get 41 00:04:23.240 --> 00:04:26.439 out there right away and see my clients. How do you know he's going 42 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.319 to be a client? And why did your sparks go the name of the 43 00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.160 company, Well, it just happens to be a very big and important concern. 44 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:35.759 Angel practically has a corner on South American tin Oh is that which incomes 45 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:39.959 from a good deal of me? And mister Carter has run out of stuff 46 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:43.959 to make Kim cans with wants you to discover another man in something that with 47 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.639 a case he's hire an engineer. Then what could this situation be? I 48 00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:50.439 guess the best way to find out is to call on mister Carter. What 49 00:04:50.639 --> 00:05:05.399 on your face, Brooksy, Let's go, Valentine. Let's start out with 50 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:09.160 three facts. Yeah, okay, mister Kenny. But let's get to the 51 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:13.439 first. A quarter of the world's tin supply comes from Bolivia in South America. 52 00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:17.399 Second, American interests control four fifths of that output, and third act 53 00:05:17.560 --> 00:05:23.040 imports more tins from South America than any other countries. That's quite true, 54 00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:26.759 miss Brooks, but that isn't the third Twice, Oh, I'm sorry, 55 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.319 I interrupted. That's all right. The third point is where you can in 56 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:33.240 Valentine. Okay, let's have it. In the last few months, acme's 57 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:38.319 tin production has been steadily slowing up. The minds are just as productive, 58 00:05:38.399 --> 00:05:42.680 but we're not getting the middle out. I see, And just how can 59 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.160 I do anything about that? There's some kind of sabotage going on at the 60 00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:50.399 MAP, well organized plot to slow us up. That means slowing up the 61 00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:55.000 defense program. Well, just a minimum, Carter, isn't this a job 62 00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:58.879 for some kind of government agency. No, the people at the bottom of 63 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.399 this plot of plans very carefully. They could smell a government man a mile 64 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:08.279 away. I need somebody who will be completely unsuspectful. But wouldn't these people 65 00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:13.000 suspect anybody? Not the way I have it set up, Valentine, have 66 00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.720 you ever taken pictures? Oh? Yeah, sure, of course you don't 67 00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:23.560 have, as long as you can get I rather thought you might be interested 68 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.120 in the job, Valentine, so I took the trouble to get this for 69 00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:34.279 you. Here official news photographer, accredited the staff of Events magazine. That's 70 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:38.920 your nre. The editor of Events is cooperating with me in this state. 71 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:42.000 Oh yeah, yeah, I see. I'm to get down to your minds 72 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:47.480 in Bolivia photographer sabotaged. You mean he has to go alone? That's right? 73 00:06:48.680 --> 00:06:51.439 No, no, no, wait a minute, you've given me an 74 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:57.399 idea. Yes, of course I should have thought of it. The Events 75 00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:01.879 magazine needs pictures minds, it also needs a story to go with them. 76 00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:08.879 Can you write, miss Brooks editors my school page. Good deal, I'll 77 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:12.839 get you certified by Events to a photographer and a feature. Right, have 78 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.319 a look. That'll dress up our investigations. Oh nobody will not. Oh 79 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.879 thank you, miss Cards. There's a panem clipper leaving from a Plas tomorrow. 80 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:21.759 What you haven't looked on? I'll make reservations for your bok, that 81 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:26.040 is, if you want your s Oh yeah, sure, we'll be glad 82 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:29.439 to go. Good Dan. Just remember one thing. You'll look like a 83 00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:32.279 photographer and a reporter. But your job is to stop a bad case of 84 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:49.439 sabotage. Sure as this is supposed to be in this block somewhere. That's 85 00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:54.720 right, I'm sine, I want to come to it. I guess it's 86 00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:58.560 an old Bolivian custom brook scene. Don't put up sign let them guess. 87 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.000 You could ask them that. Yeah, sure, I suppose. So how's 88 00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.120 your Spanish. Well it's a little on the Mexican side. You've got a 89 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:11.079 camera, Yeah, that's right, and you speak engways, so perhaps you 90 00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:15.319 could tell us you'll take my picture? Yeah sure maybe, but I'm looking. 91 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.680 I got a friend who is manager in the office of act Me Mines. 92 00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:22.040 It's right here this building. You could take my picture there, they 93 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:26.319 act me. Well, yeah I suppose I could. Then you will come 94 00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:30.120 with me, mister Vallon and miss Brooks hang on. Wait a minute, 95 00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:33.440 how do you know you are expecting you? Mister Valla. I saw you 96 00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:35.720 when you got on the plane. I was worried that you might get lost. 97 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.559 Yeah, well, since you know so much, where can I find 98 00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.159 a man by the name of Ed Burke? That's easy? So your Burke 99 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:48.200 is the manager of the card of mine's Bolivian. I take you rich. 100 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:52.480 You think I'm trying to This thing looks a little screwed to me, but 101 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.440 we'll go along with a gag. I beg your pardon, senior. I 102 00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:03.000 am not a gag whatever that is. Jose, okay, Jose, just 103 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:13.519 take us to Wed Burke. I just one thing before we get down to 104 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:18.159 business, Broke, what's with this Jose character, the little Bolivion who brought 105 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:22.519 you here? Yeah? Oh, Jose's all right. He has that jobs 106 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.240 first around here? What sort about jobs? Mister Burke? Little of everything, 107 00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:31.120 drives cars, carries messages back and forth between here and the mines. 108 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:35.039 He's a freelance pilot, goodman who has his own plane. I see, 109 00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:37.919 a matter of fact, we've been using him as a sort of spy lately. 110 00:09:39.399 --> 00:09:41.000 When we go up to the mines. They don't seem to know we're 111 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:45.840 coming. Everything set up for us, but one Jose goes up there, 112 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:50.559 well he doesn't actually work. They never suspect him. Does he found out 113 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:54.720 anything about this sabotage. Hasn't been able to tell us a thing. That's 114 00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:58.000 why mister Carter sent you down here. And where are we supposed to start, 115 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:01.840 mister Burke, I don't know exactly. I do know we've got a 116 00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:07.440 problem as of right now. Oh what's that? Several days ago a train 117 00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:09.679 loaded with or left the mines a couple of hundred miles up in the mountains 118 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:13.480 bound for Enna Fergasto. That's on the coast, isn't it. That's on 119 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:18.960 shipping point. The train would do there two days ago. It never arrived. 120 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.159 But you must know what happened to it. We haven't. The least 121 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:26.000 Idea just disappeared into thin air. We know it left the Olandia mine, 122 00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:30.639 that's all. Oh who was manning it? Anybody used to strike? Not 123 00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:33.919 at all? Both gray road men from the stakes, but it was in 124 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:37.360 charge of the mine. That's when I think of trouble lies the tat men 125 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:43.159 at both O'landia and on cr Germans. But East Germans. You know where 126 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.840 their sympathies. Lie, yeah, sure with Russia, of course. But 127 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:48.759 if they're the ones who were responsible for these slow ups, why not fire 128 00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:52.639 them? That sounds easy, Valentine, But these men have been in there 129 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:56.480 to be a long time. They're under long term contracts with big penalties at 130 00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:03.519 their fire. Oh besides which we can't prove anything. Well, it seems 131 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.080 to me the first thing to do right now is to find that missing train 132 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:11.080 that's right so somewhere along the way and nothing else can get through. Okay, 133 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:13.519 let's start from there. You say this, Jose is a good pilot. 134 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.360 Oh, yes, very good. Well, I suppose we haven't taken 135 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:20.519 me over the railroad route between here and the mines. Trains don't just vanish, 136 00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:24.360 you know, would be very happy to face. My plan is already 137 00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:28.039 to be well, well, well, it seems to be handy all the 138 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:33.799 time, Jose. Shit, see it said, maybe a little too handy. 139 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:37.600 Come what say skipping? Can we fly up to the lines in fact 140 00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.159 before dark? Jose? Shit? If we leave it once, I'm already 141 00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:45.919 to go through Angel next trip. I'm just gonna do a little scouting this 142 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:50.159 time. But I'd like to go Valentine's right, Miss Brooks. You'd better 143 00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.600 go along with Jose this trip. Next time up, we can take you. 144 00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:58.519 Well, all right, I'll go back to the hotel and wait for 145 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.159 you there. Yeah, okay, if you find anything on the way, 146 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:03.120 Valentine, please let me know at once. All right, but huh, 147 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:07.159 Jose had a radio on this plane. I have smitted right here in the 148 00:12:07.200 --> 00:12:11.799 office. Call me as soon as you see anything. Right, come on, 149 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:24.480 let's go warm off. That plane of you isn't get gone. Seen 150 00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:28.679 anything in that train yet, Jose, no, senor not. It's pretty 151 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:33.000 hard to see from this altitude. And she comes down a little. Oh 152 00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:35.840 no, no, the wind corns over the mother's fasts. They're very bad. 153 00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.759 Oh yeah, sure. How many cars were there on that train? 154 00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.120 I think they were seven? Seven? Huh. I should be easy enough 155 00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:46.240 to spot even from this hide, that is, if it's still on the 156 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:50.120 track. See if it is still in the train. Hey, hey, 157 00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:58.679 wait a minute, to be a starmpard wing a little s Yeah, yeah, 158 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:03.279 there's the train all rides roy, Yeah, but a hundred miles back 159 00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:07.600 from the border of Chile. Okay, give me that radio transmitter. See 160 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:13.440 anybody around the train. You see the train has run all the tracks. 161 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:18.159 It's against the canyon wall. There is nothing. Hello Valentine and flight calling 162 00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:22.679 bracket, lapis come in lapiz a there Burke, Yes, I'm waiting to 163 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:28.120 hear from you found anything over? Yeah? We spout at your all train 164 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.480 all right? The raven healed over against the canyon wall while one hundred miles 165 00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.559 and the Chilian porter over looking like a bad record. Not too bad, 166 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.080 guess the wrecking crew could take care of it. Okay, and the work 167 00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:41.799 training up right away? Send you one a time? Yeah, what is 168 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:46.000 it up? Happening? The gas is leaking? How could that happen? 169 00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.000 I felt at Jo like somebody shooting at a below. Maybe shots hit the 170 00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:52.120 gas. Can't you do something? No, no, there's nothing to know. 171 00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:54.360 We must play. Are you sure? We had plenty of gas and 172 00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:58.279 we started out seeing it's made for false and we must all right, we'll 173 00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:01.000 look for a place spur Perk. Are you still there? Yes? Yes, 174 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:07.360 Ah, that was close. Somebody is shooting at us, PreK hit 175 00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.639 our gas tank. We gotta come down. I know, I know. 176 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:15.720 That's what I'm worrying about. Pint a place in land, Jose, I 177 00:14:15.720 --> 00:14:20.559 think so might careful the platza Okay, head for it. Just talking to 178 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.639 Jose and I'll listen. Perk, get this. Jose thinks he can land 179 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:26.279 on a plateau. We'll make our way up the canyon to the wreck. 180 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:28.840 All right out in the train. Yeah, we can sure you it's all 181 00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:41.840 right if we ever managed to land this crate. In just a moment, 182 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:46.039 we'll return to tonight's adventure of George Valentine.

George Valentine, you're engaged by the head of 200 00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:26.559 a large tin mining company to try and discover the source of sabotage and the 201 00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:30.679 company's Bolivia mind. Before you can even get to the workings, the plane 202 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:34.440 which you're flying is shot down over the wreck of an ore train. If 203 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:38.080 your name is George Valentine, it's a mighty pleasant feeling when you step out 204 00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:42.559 of the bullet riddled plane on solid ground, and when a couple of days 205 00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:53.559 later you jump off the work train back in the pond Hi routine you got 206 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:56.320 back here, I don't have Before you realize I've been worried to dance. 207 00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:00.840 Sorry I couldn't let you know, Angel, a telegraph's were down. I 208 00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:03.359 know. Oh okay, we would you being about us who we came down 209 00:17:03.359 --> 00:17:07.440 to meet it. We got worried how the telegraph line has been back in 210 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:11.240 operation all day? And that's in case you didn't know. Oh no, 211 00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:14.319 I didn't. Then I suppose you know the R train is just a little 212 00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:17.200 bit behind us. We asked that work came down the line too. Tell 213 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:19.200 me what did you find up that direct? Well, it's a clear case 214 00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:22.759 of sabotage. One rail of been taken out completely, spikes and all. 215 00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:26.759 Huh. You see, we've been trying to work on the idea of sabotage 216 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:30.839 at the mine and probably I'll guest this, I forget the best thing to 217 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.240 do is to keep the stuff from getting through, and that's about it. 218 00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:37.519 And what we have to do is to check on the mines again. But 219 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:41.160 we twined that not with a news photographer from Events magazine. Oh yeah, 220 00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:45.240 I see it means and a reporter from the same magazine. Oh no, 221 00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:48.559 Angel, this is man typed up. When do you figure you can get 222 00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:51.440 the R train unloaded and started back for Laalania? And don't see a mister 223 00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:53.440 Burke. Oh it could be ready to head back up tomorrow night. Good 224 00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:56.359 good. I'm going to be on it, complete with camera, complete with 225 00:17:56.400 --> 00:17:59.720 paper intent. Oh no, I told you. Oh no, I don't 226 00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:03.119 think the old fashioned George. You remember there are a lot of good women 227 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:06.160 reporters in the business. Yes, I happen to work for Avance too. 228 00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:08.880 Might be a little dangerous, miss Brooks, especially if they should get on 229 00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:11.720 to who you are. They won't come on, George, you must be 230 00:18:11.839 --> 00:18:17.440 hungry, okay, brook See, Okay, you win. We'll keep us 231 00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:19.160 posted, Broke, and I'll be on that or training when the head's back 232 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:34.440 up into the andies. I mean we will, George, this can't be 233 00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:37.559 the lie in your mind. No, we got that sign over there in 234 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:41.559 big letters. But mister Burke said, this is one of the biggest of 235 00:18:41.640 --> 00:18:45.200 them. And there's nothing going on around here. Yeah, no, probably 236 00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:48.400 another funny strikers. Oh what are we gonna do? You're going to act 237 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:52.079 like a very able magazine reporter. And I hope you didn't forget your camera 238 00:18:52.160 --> 00:18:57.160 here' from somebody else. Oh then I beg your present, sir. Yeah, 239 00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:02.720 I did not see you get up the train. Why are you Well, 240 00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:06.720 my name is Valentine, a photographer for Events magazine back in the States, 241 00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:11.200 and this is miss Brooks, reporter from the same magazine. We'd like 242 00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.200 to see the manager here, I am the manature and name's Miller. What 243 00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:18.319 is you want? Oh, I'm sorry, Well, you'd like to see 244 00:19:18.319 --> 00:19:22.279 our credentials? Yes, you're a mine or see? Oh? Yes, 245 00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:26.720 church, and here am mine. Yeah, let's see. You were sent 246 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:32.119 by the company. You mean act me? Well no, no, we 247 00:19:32.559 --> 00:19:34.880 we had to argue pretty hard, even though we had let us of introduction, 248 00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:40.160 but they finally let us get on the train. Huh, let's see. 249 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:41.799 Yeah. It doesn't look like we're going to get much of a story 250 00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:45.119 here, though, doesn't Why what do you mean, I mean, nothing's 251 00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:49.200 happening? What is this a holiday? Oh then no, no, no, 252 00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:52.400 it's too bake. You cannot see us in operation. But you see, 253 00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:56.759 yesterday one of our machines, one of our most important machines, got 254 00:19:56.759 --> 00:20:00.279 out of auder that we have parts broken. But don't you have any extra 255 00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:04.440 point these paths? Unfortunately no, I have ordered them from La Paz. 256 00:20:04.799 --> 00:20:08.559 We should be in within a few days. Uh huh, Wow, that 257 00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:11.799 doesn't help us much for the story and pictures for our magazine. Oh no, 258 00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:15.440 I suppose not. But there's nothing I can do, No, no, 259 00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:18.440 no, of course. You see, we plan to do quite a 260 00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:22.880 layout on both the Lagnia and Unci. Yeah, well, maybe it's better 261 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.920 you go back to La Paz and wait until we get in operation. Oh 262 00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:29.480 better still, George, why can't we go right on up to be Unca. 263 00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:30.960 Mind that train's going to pull out any minute. Yeah, that's right. 264 00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:36.359 It's the Valentine for you're good and the safety or the lady. I 265 00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:38.400 do not believe it would be wise for you to go on to Uncia at 266 00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:42.839 this time. Oh why not? The natives who are working in the minds 267 00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:48.599 threatening to strike at any moment, maybe violence. Well that would make an 268 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:51.720 even bigger story, maybe some good action pictures. George. Oh yeah, 269 00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:52.920 but I don't like the idea. If you're being up there, there's going 270 00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:56.920 to be trouble. You're quite right, mister val I'm a newstable woman, 271 00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:00.759 George. If anything happens up there, I'm going to cover it. Well, 272 00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:03.079 we've come this far. I guess we've better get the whole story. 273 00:21:03.839 --> 00:21:11.359 Well, we'll cover your workings when you're an operation again. That sure? 274 00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:12.920 What do you think about him? I think he's one of our sabotaries. 275 00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:17.839 I can't just figure o a way to pin anything. We'll have better luck, 276 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:22.079 Aproduncia. Yeah, maybe not. At least we can try. Come 277 00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:23.000 on, let's see, let's be show. We're on that train when it 278 00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:42.720 pulls out. Funny of activity up here, Aduncia. It doesn't look like 279 00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:45.640 any slowdown. That's right. I just had a talk with Schmidt. He's 280 00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:49.680 the top foreman now East German. Huh yeah, but very friendly. He 281 00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:52.720 may not be mixed up in the sabotaged business at all. The way we 282 00:21:52.720 --> 00:22:00.559 do take pictures, how do I guess for the moment? But what was 283 00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:03.720 that I jumped a mile? Must be the whistle and ends work for the 284 00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:07.880 day. See the man are leaving the buildings over there, but this is 285 00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.880 early afternoon. Why would they be putting now? I don't know, as 286 00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:14.920 it will soon find out. Here comes Schmidt, now we'll ask him. 287 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.440 It doesn't look like a very pleasant character to me. All these baby sports 288 00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:25.680 sometimes, oh Schmidt, say what's going on here? Why are you closing 289 00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:29.960 down? You always stop works, some of them, But you see yesterday 290 00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:33.079 works and men over time, so we have a load for the train or 291 00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:36.759 not. They can advert them more to day. Oh I see, I 292 00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:41.519 see, well that that sort of spoils our pictures again. Yeah, I 293 00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:45.519 am so sorry. Maybe you'll go back to the pass from wait until we 294 00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:48.519 are working full force again. Now you mean you won't be working for a 295 00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:51.039 few days? Is that this shy? As a train is loaded, it 296 00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:55.039 always gives them in a few days off. And I guess we're all of 297 00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:59.200 lucky. Now you pardon miss as a man over there I must see is 298 00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:04.200 a friendom yeah, yeah, okay, mister Schmidt all the time. I 299 00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:07.000 just gotta look at that man Schmidt has to see Brocene right over there. 300 00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:11.440 Why would that? Oh? I have humans from down at Lallania. That's 301 00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:14.839 right. How did you get up here? He didn't come on the tree. 302 00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:17.960 Probably in that plane that landed a few minutes ago. Something's up angels? 303 00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:22.200 What like they suspect anybody who comes up here? I guess is they're 304 00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:26.319 getting together for a council of war about how did you vid that? Or 305 00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:30.759 something else? Hey, look they're going in that shack over there. Let's 306 00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:36.000 think I'm excited and see if we can hear anything that's a toolhouse or something. 307 00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:37.759 It's a clumsy looking thing. You got to be able to hear something 308 00:23:37.799 --> 00:23:41.279 through those walls. What you think catch? I see he's driving me. 309 00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:45.599 You're telling what they're doing. Careful, I won't. I'll get close here. 310 00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:52.880 You watch for anybody coming out a way, to be careful. That's 311 00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:55.960 why I have to come here. We have brought us. We have done 312 00:23:56.000 --> 00:24:00.480 my dream to slow down supply from the mind. Must stop the supply. 313 00:24:02.000 --> 00:24:04.000 That's the only way we can put the American defense work, father, and 314 00:24:04.200 --> 00:24:08.440 just for coun if we make it. I fused to work. That's not 315 00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:11.960 necessary. If the railroad has put out of commission, no team can be 316 00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:17.559 taken out. We tried that before they take the railroad. But when we 317 00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:19.799 have finished this time, they will not fix it for many weeks. Listen 318 00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:23.400 to me. The all train is loaded and waited to leave for Antipogasta. 319 00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:27.319 I know we have company cars, several of them the air Mountain roads. 320 00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:33.480 One point, the road comes very close to the railroad line. Remember God. 321 00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.960 Yeah, By leaving now with dynamite and the detO latter, one can 322 00:24:37.039 --> 00:24:41.440 be well ahead of the train when it reaches that point. Who can we 323 00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:45.960 trusted to do ourselves, no others MACHOs ourself. Who knows, pat We 324 00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:49.640 will be rewarded by the party. That's school, and let us make our 325 00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:59.039 preparation. George, what do we do now? What I need? Something 326 00:24:59.039 --> 00:25:02.240 about wrecking a train? Yeah, sure, but they don't know we know 327 00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:04.519 about it. They're going to stand up on one of the company auders before 328 00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:07.240 our train goes back, and as soon as they're out of side, we're 329 00:25:07.279 --> 00:25:11.319 going to take another company car and phone. Oh well, I suppose you 330 00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:14.920 know what you're doing rough idea bro see, but it might work. You're 331 00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:18.359 coming out of that tool shed and heading to the car. See. I 332 00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:19.799 think if I get a shot at the mouth of the mine, it'll be 333 00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:27.480 pretty good standing over the every side where. Well right, there's good. 334 00:25:27.839 --> 00:25:33.599 Yeah, yeah, that's very good. Hold it there, decided anywhere? 335 00:25:33.960 --> 00:25:37.119 Oh yeah, yeah. I thought i'd get a few while we're up here, 336 00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:41.119 and the pads they would not be very interesting, was as a workers. 337 00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:45.559 No, that's true, but well we'll come back again for those you 338 00:25:45.720 --> 00:25:48.519 are leaving on the or train of course, Oh sure, sure, what 339 00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:52.279 will it be pulling up in a very few minutes. I suggest you've got 340 00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.200 a ball yeah. Sure, we'll do that, mister Schmidt, and we'll 341 00:25:56.200 --> 00:26:11.160 be seeing you. Well, here's the place, all right, proceed. 342 00:26:11.839 --> 00:26:18.200 There's the company car parked up ahead. Yeah, the now by the tracks 343 00:26:18.240 --> 00:26:29.319 somewhere. I guess all right, I don't see them anywhere. Just take 344 00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:32.240 a quiet like, Angel, don't make any no, it is any more 345 00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:38.519 than you have to. Hey, listen, it comes to train. Yeah, 346 00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:41.279 we gotta work fast. What are we gonna do? I don't know 347 00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:45.920 yet. Just be a voice down. It kept the movies rocks. What 348 00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:51.319 did you see something? I thought I heard something over there by the tracks, 349 00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:56.480 George, I didn't hear anything. Couldn't be your imagination. I don't 350 00:26:56.559 --> 00:27:02.759 think Sorry, Angel, I don't think so. You can see a lot 351 00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:06.279 of track from here. Sure that's how they picked this place. I guess 352 00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:10.799 the train's almost here. No, not quite, Angel, You can get 353 00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:14.920 it a long way in these canyons. Don't be long. Sure, Yeah, 354 00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:18.880 there they are. They've been hiding behind those rocks. See yeah, 355 00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:22.319 sure, but wait a minute, they nowhere near the tracks, just waiting 356 00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:27.240 back here. I wonder, Yeah, sure, what George? I remember 357 00:27:27.279 --> 00:27:32.400 now they were talking about dynamite and a Tata. They must be all hooked 358 00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:33.480 up and runny. Do you mean they can set it off from here? 359 00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:37.960 You stay here for see? What are you gonna do? Speak up as 360 00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:40.680 close as I can without attracting their attention to get the drop on him. 361 00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:44.759 George, he's putting the plunger on that back. I know he'll keep quiet 362 00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:51.200 and come when I caught you. Okay, all right, get away from 363 00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:55.240 that box, I said, get away from that back. He'll go. 364 00:27:56.440 --> 00:28:00.559 That's quite. You might reach as high as po a con. You're making 365 00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:07.960 a mistaken Yeah, you almost made a mistake. Brokcy. You'll see, 366 00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:14.359 mister van deconnects. You're gonna explain a lot of things later. Bruxy and 367 00:28:14.440 --> 00:28:17.200 Schmidt smart to drop his gun? Si if Bola has one on him, 368 00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:23.000 I don't care. Just dynamite hand. Okay, Now, how fast can 369 00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:26.599 you get down that bank out of the tracks. I'll try it and see 370 00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:29.960 what flag that on t Brucy when you get them stopped, telling them they 371 00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:45.720 got four more passengers, two of them for a one way trip. When 372 00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:49.079 you buy motor oil for your car, you want protection against where and repair, 373 00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:53.279 So listen to the kind of protection a fleet of taxicabs get by using 374 00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:59.319 heavy duty RPM motor oil. With another oil, they averaged only thirty five 375 00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:03.880 thousand months miles between overhauls. Today, using heavy duty RPM, these same 376 00:29:04.039 --> 00:29:11.799 cab travel one hundred thousand miles before overhauling. Heavy duty RPM reduced engineware and 377 00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:17.240 greatly increased the time between overhauls. There's your proof that heavy duty RPM motor 378 00:29:17.279 --> 00:29:21.839 oil offers top protection and top the economy of operation, the kind you want 379 00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:26.279 in your car. So get heavy duty RPM at any independent Chevron gas station 380 00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:32.440 or standard station where they say and mean, we take better care of your 381 00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:48.319 car. George, What will they do with those man sah stick I'm a 382 00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:52.279 jail for a while, sabotage, attemptive murder, stuff like that. Damn, 383 00:29:52.240 --> 00:29:56.400 And when they get off, I don't know, fireing back to East 384 00:29:56.440 --> 00:30:03.480 Germany. I guess that's where they belong, George. Can you really use 385 00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:10.799 that camera for sure? Sure? Will you explain it to somebody so they 386 00:30:10.880 --> 00:30:18.279 can take our pictures? Maybe with your arm around me the harbor in the 387 00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:22.880 background. Oh, I couldn't let anyone else here, said Angela. And 388 00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:26.599 besides, I don't think Events magazine to take that kind of a shop, 389 00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:55.000 Old George Lights transcribed Adventure of George Valentine has been brought to you by Standard 390 00:30:55.039 --> 00:31:00.119 Oil Company of California on behalf of independent Shevron Gas stations and stand station throughout 391 00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:04.559 the West. Robert Daily Is starred as George, with Virginia Gregg as Brooksy. 392 00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:08.640 Let George Do It was written by Lloyd London and directed by Kenneth Webb. 393 00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:14.079 Ted de Corsia was heard as Carter, Tony Barrett as Jose, James 394 00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:18.359 Ducker as Burke, and Fix Feld as Muller. Music is composed and presented 395 00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:23.880 by Gaylord Carter. Your announcer John Heaston. Listen again next week, same 396 00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:33.559 time, same station, to Let George Do It. Let George Do It 397 00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:41.160 as Heart overseas through the worldwide facilities of the Armed Forces Radio Service. This 398 00:31:41.440 --> 00:32:01.359 is the mutual Don Lee Broadcasting System. Welcome back. I still wish they'd 399 00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:07.960 worked more of a mystery into this plot, just because you know, it 400 00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:15.359 was just the solution was so obvious. Let's see, we have some sabotage 401 00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:22.519 going on that benefits the communist and we have two people here from communist countries. 402 00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:25.559 You know, if they had made these spies, you know, somebody 403 00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:30.400 different, it might have worked a little bit better. This, of course, 404 00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:36.400 was pretty key for Let George Do It, as it marked George Valenhein's 405 00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:39.400 entrns into a lot of the Cold War stories we've heard over the last few 406 00:32:39.480 --> 00:32:45.480 months. This, however, I don't think was the better one of the 407 00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:50.400 better stories, and I think there were several that were much stronger than this 408 00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:53.079 one. All right, Well, we turned a listener comments and feedback, 409 00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:58.599 and we have this from Sarah who says, thanks for doing this podcast. 410 00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:02.960 I have insomnia and your podcast has kept me company many a night. Also, 411 00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:07.480 I've found that the sound quality you provide is much better than other similar 412 00:33:07.559 --> 00:33:12.680 podcast I've tried to listen to but had to give up on as being slightly 413 00:33:12.759 --> 00:33:15.200 death I struggled to hear them, but I never had that problem with yours. 414 00:33:15.960 --> 00:33:21.880 Once again, thanks well, thanks so much, Sarah. I know 415 00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:28.440 that early on when my podcast sound volume on the host segments was how some 416 00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:37.039 people worried I might cause a hearing problem. But I will say that Andrew 417 00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:42.119 Runs really does a lot on the sound quality to make it better and make 418 00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:45.880 it more listenable, and so we're glad we're able to make that enjoyable for 419 00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:50.480 you.
