Johnny Manero was a clone of Pat Novak for 10 00:01:11,519 --> 00:01:15,519 Hire more or less. In fact, it was much more a clone of 11 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:23,400 Patnovac for Hire when it first aired in its now lost first episode. In 12 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:33,640 that episode, the opening sounded just like Patnovacks and Johnny's sidekick was named Dipso. 13 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,079 ABC took exception to this as they were still running Patnovak down in San 14 00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:46,239 Francisco with Ben Morris. They filed a lawsuit and it was settled between ABC 15 00:01:46,359 --> 00:01:51,640 and Mutual, with Mutual agreeing to get rid of dipso and to change the 16 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:56,239 opening. This didn't really satisfy ABC, but they were willing to forget about 17 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,680 their lawsuit so that they could go back to just making radio. The show 18 00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:09,719 Johnny Madaro, if anything, features more similes flying fast than Pat Novak did, 19 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:17,919 and it starred co stars William Conrad as Inspector Warcheck Conrad of course in 20 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,560 his pre gun smoke days here, and Gail Gordon plays father Lahee. Gail 21 00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:29,159 Gordon also stars in the case Book of Gregory Hood. The show is generally 22 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,520 not considered to be as good as Novak, but there are two episodes in 23 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:38,479 existence and it'll make an interesting couple weeks listening. Before we start into today's 24 00:02:38,479 --> 00:02:43,319 show, I do want to briefly let you know about a product that's offered 25 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,800 on our website at Great Detectives Dot now. I mentioned Netflix yesterday, and 26 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,639 for most of your DVD needs, that's a pretty good way to go. 27 00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:58,120 However, there's a movie that's not yet on general DVD release, and that's 28 00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:02,560 Dragnet nineteen fifty four. If you like Pat Novak, it was that movie. 29 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,280 Dragnet was written by Richard Breen, who wrote Pat Novak Universal Studios, 30 00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:15,280 which has released this as a DVD on demand, has the Prince of the 31 00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:21,879 original nineteen fifties Dragnet shows.

All 36 00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:46,719 right, well, we're gonna get into today's episode of Johnny Madero. This 37 00:03:46,759 --> 00:03:53,360 one is commonly called Pete Sutro. I like another one of the name of 38 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,759 the show, but we'll talk about that when we get back. Let's go 39 00:03:55,759 --> 00:04:06,599 ahead and listen to Pete Sutro. Yeah, I'm Johnny Madero, Peer twenty 40 00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:20,519 three. You know, the only time San Francisco really gets hot is when 41 00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:24,519 a tourist calls it Frisco, and then it gets warm enough to give a 42 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,360 slay dog a Southern accent. Down around the water front. They don't care 43 00:04:28,439 --> 00:04:30,480 so much for a buck. You can insult anybody, but show the magi. 44 00:04:31,399 --> 00:04:34,560 The piers stretch out like a big yawn from south of a ferry building 45 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,480 clear to the China docks. You pushed over on one side so you won't 46 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,439 notice. About the same spot you'll find dusk in a bride's parmer. You'll 47 00:04:42,439 --> 00:04:46,480 find peer twenty three. From there, it's a short skip to Johnny Madero's 48 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,079 boat shop. My face the sign outside looks honest, but down here the 49 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:55,000 only sign people pay any attention to his rigor mortis. I rent boats and 50 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,240 do anything else you can blame on your environment. It works out all right. 51 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,360 It's pretty soon where it gets around. You got a reputation that doesn't 52 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,240 pay to argue, because even if you're leveling, you make as much headway 53 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:09,120 as a whistler with a split lip. I found that out last Wednesday afternoon. 54 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,240 I was looking out the window watching the tide come in, when somebody 55 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,199 in back of me cough. When I turned Nat Friendly was standing there in 56 00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:18,480 the office. He didn't say anything for a minute, and you notice designs 57 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,600 were as soft as the inside of a woman's arm. I had one of 58 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,959 those far away looks you couldn't follow with a road map, and then I 59 00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:28,519 saw the rest of him. He wasn't flabby, but he was on the 60 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,240 way, and you got the idea. He was an ex fighter who settled 61 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,839 down on the restaurant. I uh, I got the right place, haven't 62 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,639 I. If a woman screams, you haven't, what's on your mind? 63 00:05:36,879 --> 00:05:41,199 That's a good question, thedell, that's a good question, and that's what 64 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,480 I want you to find out, blood fellow. Maybe I don't even want 65 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,839 to be friendly. What's on your mind? I don't know, Madeo, 66 00:05:46,079 --> 00:05:47,040 I don't know. All right, you convinced me. Now back out of 67 00:05:47,079 --> 00:05:48,879 here. We'll both be in the dark. One Wait a minute, Madeo, 68 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,920 listen to me. My name is Nat Finley, My wife and I 69 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,160 live up the knob Hill, and i've been retired for a while. Seeing 70 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,399 I don't but go ahead, Well, you gotta help me, Madeo. 71 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,839 I'll pay you fifty bucks a day to help me. That that price, 72 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,839 it won't be helped. I want you to find someone for me, but 73 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,439 I don't know who or why yet we're back to that again. Huh Oh, 74 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,439 listen to me. Lately, a name has been ringing in my ears, 75 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,879 just a name, Pete Sucho, Pete sucho, over and over again, 76 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,279 so you read it somewhere. I don't know where I picked it up. 77 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,639 For the last week, the name Pete Sucho has been on my mind. 78 00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:20,959 It's a nightmare. You gotta do something about me. Now, change 79 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,759 your diet. That might help. I want you to find Pete Sutro, 80 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,240 find out who he is, whoever he is, why he's bothering me. 81 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,759 If you do well, I'll give you a two hundred dollars bonus. Look, 82 00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:30,560 Binley, is this a job or a career? There must be a 83 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,639 dozen suitos from here to Jersey City maybe, But the Pete Sutro I want 84 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,439 lives right here in this town. He's got to there's a law listened to 85 00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:41,839 me man or last night I kept hearing the name Suto yet only this time 86 00:06:41,879 --> 00:06:46,000 there was an address too. It was care of General Delivery, San Francisco. 87 00:06:46,519 --> 00:06:47,879 So he's got to be somewhere in this town. Why don't you check 88 00:06:47,879 --> 00:06:51,160 the phone book I have in the city directory too, But so far I 89 00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:54,399 haven't been able to locate him. Then I will huh. Well, if 90 00:06:54,399 --> 00:06:56,519 you don't, you're still getting fifty bucks a day. What are you worried 91 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,319 about that fifty bucks a day? It might turn out to be a dream 92 00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:01,920 too. You better's some advanced money, sure Madell brought a check along, 93 00:07:01,959 --> 00:07:05,279 Gustin Chase will one hundred dollars covey of doubts. Yeah, if the bank 94 00:07:05,319 --> 00:07:08,759 can cover your check. If they can't, you don't have to do the 95 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,079 job. That's fair enough. Will you start looking right away? Yeah, 96 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,720 but you gotta be careful, my daro. My wife's never to know about 97 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:20,600 this. Understand why, because well, she doesn't like the idea. She 98 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,680 thinks I'm a little crazy looking for a name like this. She hates me. 99 00:07:25,759 --> 00:07:29,120 I think she thinks I'm crazy. Don't worry about her, Findley until 100 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:42,920 she starts mixing your night caps for fifty bunch a day. I'll change anybody's 101 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,279 dream because of that kind of dough. You're rich enough to run down a 102 00:07:45,319 --> 00:07:47,040 couple of your own. When Finley left, I called the bank and found 103 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,720 out his check at solid banking. So I went down to Lofties and I 104 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,879 put out some feelers on Pete Sutro. It didn't take long before one of 105 00:07:53,879 --> 00:07:56,560 the boys came up with the lead. A couple of other people were looking 106 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,439 for Sucto too. One was a guy named Marty Keane. You know there 107 00:07:59,439 --> 00:08:01,839 was a torch sing named Evelyn Day. The word was that Sutro and Evelyn 108 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,319 used to trade max notes in Detroit. But I phoned the Jade Club where 109 00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:07,959 Evylin was working, but she wasn't due for an hour. So I decided 110 00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:11,199 to give Marty Kane first try. He was living in a motel out in 111 00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:13,959 the Marina, so I went on. There was a sign outside that said 112 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,199 modern cabins, but you knew Abe Lincoln did better in Illinois. The cabins 113 00:08:18,199 --> 00:08:22,959 were the size of an upper berth with an Uphols startup punchboard. I didn't 114 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,240 leave much privacy. You had more chance of keeping a secret from Matta Harry. 115 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,600 I asked the manager where Kane's place was, and he pointed to the 116 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,200 end cabin. I went over, knocked on the door. Kane opened it 117 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,480 and glared. His eyes were the color of Saturday night on a week old 118 00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:37,600 jag. And he was so chunky you figured he'd be harder to move than 119 00:08:37,639 --> 00:08:41,240 a nice box through a basement window. Oh you, my name's Madero, 120 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,840 Johnny Madero. Don't rhyme with anything. What are you looking for? A 121 00:08:45,879 --> 00:08:48,840 guy named Pete Sutro. I hear you got the same idea, So your 122 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,279 gut is I'll invite you in. Well, I can't send you down. 123 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,639 That's what everybody says about this gun. Let's sit down and you get me 124 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,279 nervous. Put the way the gun and we'll both be calm. Huh after 125 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,200 you'd tell me what said all about, supstraw. I'm tracking down a dreamer 126 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,360 yours a client's you sound anxious? What's your pitch? Oh wild one? 127 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,639 Just say he owes me some throwing. I need it bad. Now, 128 00:09:07,799 --> 00:09:11,919 you got the muscles taken laundry. I'll put you through the ring of first. 129 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,000 I wanna lead on sutral Yeah, we both do. But I'm not 130 00:09:13,039 --> 00:09:20,759 going down on my knee. Get up, my zarrow. I don't wanna 131 00:09:20,799 --> 00:09:24,879 make a liar out of you again. You're tough king. I'll bet you 132 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,600 got your dander scared stiff. Yeah, I'll start on yours. Now. 133 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,559 What soups are to you? Fifty bucks a day? A guy named Nat 134 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,000 Finley hired me to track him down. Does that make you happy? No, 135 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,759 just ambitious. It was Nat Friendley. He came in and paid me 136 00:09:37,799 --> 00:09:39,480 to find Sutro. He said the name was giving him nightmares. It sounds 137 00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:43,120 like a bedtime story, madarol. Well, if you don't like a jazzet 138 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,759 up, it's the truth. I read the wrong papers. Give me another 139 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:46,519 version, all right. If you don't believe me, you can't make up 140 00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:50,320 your own. Here's Findley's check. Can you read? If you will help 141 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,600 me with the big words? Give it here? That friendly? Eh, 142 00:09:56,200 --> 00:10:00,440 that friendly you weren't lying, looks like a good check. I'll take a 143 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:01,960 chance. I'll cash it for you. It's given me IDs huh, yeah, 144 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,200 first, once about you. Here's your dormeadda not get out? Get 145 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,440 out quick? Oh, you're too good to me. King suppose the check 146 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:18,960 bounces, it won't my dearer because I ain't gonna cash it. Oh, 147 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,360 I couldn't figure it. Came, looked at the chick and smile like a 148 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,679 guy who had just learned all about the atom bomb. I walked out. 149 00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:28,240 The only thing I knew for sure was the demand for Pete Sutter was big 150 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,120 enough to start a business boom. I headed back to my apartment to see 151 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,720 how much lift I could bring down with a nice bag and a little pressure. 152 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,159 When I got there, the door was open and the light was on. 153 00:10:37,759 --> 00:10:41,360 Inside things looked even brighter. A brunette was draped over the cotch, 154 00:10:41,399 --> 00:10:45,120 like she paid the first installment on it. It was about twenty five with 155 00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:46,519 a pair of legs. It would have made a silk worm turnover and write 156 00:10:46,519 --> 00:10:50,360 a fan letter. She wore a tan business suit, and the way it 157 00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:52,759 was rumpled up, you knew office hours were over. When she saw me, 158 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,200 she began to vibrate like an alarm clock at six in the morning. 159 00:10:56,399 --> 00:10:58,639 Good evening, I would argue, but you got the wrong room. Well 160 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,320 I read I don't know you that well, huh, you'll catch up with 161 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,279 the crowd. My name is Sheila. I'm not Simley's wife. He should 162 00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:09,759 be somebody's wife. It gets down on the risk. I wanna talk to 163 00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:11,960 you. Boy ahead, I'll try not to stare. Let's have a drink 164 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,639 for it's mister Madaro. Maybe it will cloud your vision. Yeah, and 165 00:11:16,759 --> 00:11:22,279 the issue too. Huh mm, you sir, You are strong stuff, 166 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,639 mister Madero. Soda. I'm all charged up now, lady, what's on 167 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,320 your mind? I have a problem. Maybe you can help me. Maybe 168 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,720 it's too late. I'm listening. It's about my husband, Matt. He 169 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,799 tries, but we can't hide much from me. Now that you have the 170 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,159 same trouble. Look, lady, you're working too hard for a sale. 171 00:11:39,159 --> 00:11:41,440 If you've got a point, make it all right, mister Madaro, we'll 172 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,919 skip the intermission. My husband saw you the night and sold you a wild 173 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,240 story. Yeah, but it paid off so far. I'm not complaining, 174 00:11:46,279 --> 00:11:48,799 but I am. I want you to drop the whole silly job and that 175 00:11:48,919 --> 00:11:52,360 gave you. You're not building a case. Fifty bucks a day buys a 176 00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:54,519 lot of hangover. Lady. You don't understand, mister Madaro. My husband 177 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,879 is a sick man. Yeah, I know. He can't sleep at nights. 178 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:03,120 He has a large imagination, and worse lately, he dreams up things 179 00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:09,080 sometimes I think sometimes I think he's a little crazy. Maybe it's a hobby. 180 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,720 He can afford it. There are some things even he can't afford. 181 00:12:11,879 --> 00:12:15,840 Yeah, like finding Pete Suchol. That's right, mister Madaro. There is 182 00:12:15,879 --> 00:12:18,240 no such man. Mm. A guy named Marty Kane will give you odds. 183 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,919 Who did you say, Marty Kane? He cashed in your husband's check. 184 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,120 You know, no, No, I never heard of him. You 185 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:30,440 don't sound so sure. Marty was talking about sutra alright, mister Madaro, 186 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,559 I'm talking about something else now, money. So far you're whispering, shouting, 187 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,960 mister Madaro, five hundred bucks worth. I'll give you five hundred dollars 188 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,080 to drop the job and forget everything. Mm alright, baby, you twisted 189 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:46,919 my arm. You will you won't let me down, mister Madaro. Man 190 00:12:48,200 --> 00:13:00,639 if I do, it'll be nice and easy. Only had the kind of 191 00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:03,440 a wife you mate with a panther, she picked up her purse and peeled 192 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,240 off five hundred fish. She wasn't talking anymore, and when she swayed out, 193 00:13:07,279 --> 00:13:09,879 she wondered how much night practice she'd given that rumba. Well, I 194 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,080 was all washed up with the finlies and felt good already, so did the 195 00:13:13,159 --> 00:13:16,799 dough. I felt like a guy whose name was just picked in a chain 196 00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:20,159 letter. My mind was free for the better things of life. So I 197 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,320 called up a girl out on Van ass and told her to meet me at 198 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,600 the Regent Bowling Alley. I got there before she did, so I started 199 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,159 warming up the alley. A few minutes later, it got a lot warmer 200 00:13:28,159 --> 00:13:33,720 because Inspector Warchick of San Francisco Homicide began spoiling my game. Oh it was 201 00:13:33,759 --> 00:13:37,039 a nice track. You're in the wrong kind of alley, Warchick, what 202 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,679 do you want some pointers? You got time? No, I can see 203 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,480 how you hold a bowling ball, and I'll show me how you hold a 204 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,360 gun. I'll right, Warchick, what's on your mind? I was on 205 00:13:46,519 --> 00:13:50,240 Mardi Kanes a guy named Pete Sutro. He owed Knes some money and you 206 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,000 paid off. I paid him a visit. We had something in common, 207 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,120 and you must have bought him to the pain. Couldn't quite stand a couple 208 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,559 of slugs in his forehead, so he quick, Well, what do you 209 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,240 want me to do? Warchick, bak the news to his wife. Just 210 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,120 tell me about the argument you had? Was a monologue. Came wanted to 211 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,840 know where Sutra was hiding. I only knew one answer, so he did 212 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,000 all the time. Oh, you should have said, please, it's not 213 00:14:09,039 --> 00:14:11,720 polite to want to roupt the guy with a gun rock, Warchick, what 214 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,399 makes me the blue plate special? The motel manager, he said, you 215 00:14:15,519 --> 00:14:16,879 go into Cane's room, and then he heard a struggle, and later on 216 00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:20,360 he heard a shot. Did he hear who won? The fourth listened copper? 217 00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:22,799 A guy named Net Finley hired me to find out who Pete Sutro was 218 00:14:22,919 --> 00:14:24,960 my name, was playing tagging his brain all week, and he wanted to 219 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,879 know, why does that sound like a story? Check with Finley. He's 220 00:14:26,919 --> 00:14:30,080 the guy who made it up. What if he lets you down and work 221 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,840 on his wife. She's not bad looking. She paid me to drop Finley's 222 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:37,039 account. I'll check that your I know. In the meantime, I want 223 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,639 to line you up while you're making your rounds. Look up a gown named 224 00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:43,279 Devil and Day. She knew Suto too. Go ahead, run the police 225 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,639 force, tell me what to ask Forget a war chick, you're not the 226 00:14:46,679 --> 00:14:58,120 type. Wartchick stood there for a second, wiping his teeth with his tongue. 227 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,240 If he'd done it on the said, it would have been a contract 228 00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:03,960 job. And then one of the bowlers, in a tight pair of slacks, 229 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,639 brushed up against him and went out. He looked at me once more 230 00:15:05,679 --> 00:15:09,120 and headed after her. Thought. I didn't feel much like bowling either, 231 00:15:09,159 --> 00:15:11,480 so I left the note at the desk for the girlfriend and started out. 232 00:15:11,919 --> 00:15:15,399 I know I was in trouble some days. It's tired of the duck trouble. 233 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,039 In a handful of pebbles, no, I told myself I didn't kill 234 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,639 Kane, but that was like trying to fight a fire with an andy's smoke 235 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:26,480 law. The big question was Pete Sutro. Who was he? There were 236 00:15:26,519 --> 00:15:30,159 other questions. I quite did the Fendly dame buy me off? Why did 237 00:15:30,159 --> 00:15:33,360 her husband want Sutro in the first place? No, there were no answers, 238 00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:35,000 and I felt about as safe as an alligator walking through a handbag. 239 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,399 Fact me. So I looked up the only good guy I know, a 240 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,159 waterfront priest named Father Lady. I found him in his room and flipping through 241 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,360 a couple of raffle books. Hello, Johnny, just in time to buy 242 00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:50,279 a ticket. The boy's club is rattling off an electric toaster. I'm already 243 00:15:50,279 --> 00:15:52,159 a little burn, father. I'm in a spot, Johnny. The boys 244 00:15:52,159 --> 00:15:56,679 gave me a quoter to Phil. I got stuck at a banker's luncheon all 245 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,679 afternoon. You know what they're like on risk? Yeah? Yeah, I've 246 00:16:00,679 --> 00:16:02,879 got to sell some tickets. All right, I'll buy a couple, but 247 00:16:02,919 --> 00:16:06,879 I need your help. I'm in trouble. You'd better buy five at a 248 00:16:06,919 --> 00:16:11,279 time like this. Both of us can afford to be generous. What kind 249 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,399 of trouble this won't take long. Father, You always say that, but 250 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,159 it adds up. You don't realize it, But I lose whole weekends that 251 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,080 way. Will you please listen? Father, war Check wants to pin me 252 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,600 down on a murder. You've got the weight. Who's dead? A guy 253 00:16:23,639 --> 00:16:26,919 named Mary King. I saw him a couple of hours ago, and he 254 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,799 was still alive when I left. Can you prove it? That's gonna be 255 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,039 tough. The clerk at the motel saw me go into Kene's room just before 256 00:16:33,039 --> 00:16:36,320 he got tumbled. So far, you don't have a way out? Why 257 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,159 not plead insanity? I would, but I'm afraid of the competition. What 258 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,200 do you mean? A muddled up guy named Nat Finley hired me to chase 259 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,080 down the name Pete Sutro, who claimed the name was haunting him. I 260 00:16:45,159 --> 00:16:48,799 know how he feels, Johnny. I don't think the bishop likes me either. 261 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,840 My only lead was Marty King. He seemed to want Sukra worse than 262 00:16:52,879 --> 00:16:56,440 I did. Sutro is certainly popular for a dream, you think you'll have 263 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,399 a materialize. I don't know, but I don't think Marty King was killed 264 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,120 over a dream. If he was, it must have been quite a nightmare. 265 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,200 Did you look up your client again? I didn't have the time. 266 00:17:04,519 --> 00:17:07,799 His wife paid me to drop the whole job. She said Finley was a 267 00:17:07,799 --> 00:17:11,519 harmless duck with a pail full of wild ideas. Does the husband feel the 268 00:17:11,559 --> 00:17:15,079 same way about his wife? Do you want gossip? Father? Do you 269 00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:18,359 want to help me? That's an unfair question, Johnny. Either way, 270 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,400 I'm embarrassed. Please, Father, Will you check up on a few people 271 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,000 for me? Yes? Yes, look up Kane's friends, and if you 272 00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:27,160 run out of those, try his enemies. Find out who might have had 273 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,559 an urge to kill him when you it's a tall order, Johnny, or 274 00:17:30,559 --> 00:17:32,960 maybe a lot of people involved. I can use'em all, father, 275 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:47,079 I know, But can they all use an electric toaster? When I left, 276 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:48,240 Father, lighty, I know, I still had one base to tag. 277 00:17:48,599 --> 00:17:52,400 It was Sutro's ex flame, a doll named EVILN day, I drove 278 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,119 out of Eddie Street and my park near the Jade Club. Well it's not 279 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,039 a bad place, but on a slow night even the whinos are afraid to 280 00:17:59,039 --> 00:18:02,160 go in. Inside it was dark enough to hide the decimal point on a 281 00:18:02,279 --> 00:18:04,279 check and over by the bar that was the piano playing music that nobody was 282 00:18:04,319 --> 00:18:10,359 listening to the Evelyn came on and right off he started hunting for the nearest 283 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,519 fire exit. She had red hair about this side of ninety eight degrees, 284 00:18:14,839 --> 00:18:17,519 and she wore a black evening gown that held up by one strap in a 285 00:18:17,599 --> 00:18:19,079 prayer. She was a kind of a girl. Loo could wear a mother 286 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,680 hubbed and make it look like an anglogee, and when she sang, it 287 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,559 came out low enough to strike oil. After she was through, I asked 288 00:18:26,559 --> 00:18:29,839 the bartender to give her a message. She walked over to me, and 289 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,920 she wasn't happy one way or the other. Are you the man who wanted 290 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,079 me one of'em? Be a revelyin? Huh? Yeah? What let 291 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,319 lead to a crisis if you don't sit on all right? You've got me 292 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,839 interested. Now what's on your mind that we can talk about. My name's 293 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,079 Madero. Now let's start with a friend named Pete Sutro, that's Continure. 294 00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:51,079 What do you want to know about him? Where is he? Are you 295 00:18:51,079 --> 00:18:52,400 have a coppo? You pay for the ride? M set. I need 296 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,119 too many of'em. Baby. I'm way out ahead in the murder derby, 297 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,759 and I'll pitch homicide anybody I can get them. What do you want 298 00:18:57,799 --> 00:19:02,640 Sutra for? I think he shot Marty King. Someone should have. But 299 00:19:02,759 --> 00:19:06,240 you're betting on the wrong whose your prejudice. Sutro was your boyfriend, that's 300 00:19:06,319 --> 00:19:10,440 right. He was my boyfriend, but I haven't seen him lately. All 301 00:19:10,519 --> 00:19:12,680 right, then, what was the last thing you did with me? I'll 302 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,960 read my diary to you some day. Now, Look, baby, you 303 00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:18,160 got a choice. I'm gonna rough you up, or let the pros do 304 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:22,279 it. Let go of my armadaro, or I'll call it bounce Paul Sutro 305 00:19:22,319 --> 00:19:23,880 and I'll start talking before I bruise you up. Good, go down the 306 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,240 daro. You're out of my weight class. Yeah, I'll tell you what 307 00:19:27,319 --> 00:19:30,839 you want to know. Should I take notes or is this gonna be quick? 308 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,559 I don't know. Depends on how sentimental I get. That's all right, 309 00:19:33,599 --> 00:19:37,839 I gotta handkerchief, Okay, I'll tell you. I used to be 310 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,240 Pete Sutro's girl in Detroit. Then one day he skipped out and left me 311 00:19:42,319 --> 00:19:45,279 hanging on the vine. Don't worry, baby, you haven't wear it yet. 312 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,079 I started looking for him and started King White King. He and Pete 313 00:19:49,079 --> 00:19:52,400 had a deal together. Pete ran out with all the dough. Your boy 314 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,960 should have run for Congress. He's got a nice record. What kind of 315 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,400 a deal did he have with King? I don't remember all of a sudden, 316 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,640 huh. I'm shy when it comes to changes. Let's just end it 317 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,880 by saying Pete disappears. Let's say you're dummying up. I love Pete and 318 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,599 I wouldn't want anything to happen to him. If you carry a picture with 319 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,400 that torch, baby, sure, I want to see. Here's a snapshot 320 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,759 of Pete in my locket. Do you know him? Not this season? 321 00:20:17,799 --> 00:20:19,960 Though? I want him back. He was a good guy. Yeah, 322 00:20:21,079 --> 00:20:22,640 your boy worked up a lot of people. He made number one nightmare for 323 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,759 a guy named Nett Finley. I heard, and I want to see Finley 324 00:20:26,759 --> 00:20:30,200 too. You show me in this. I want to talk to ladera hellove 325 00:20:30,319 --> 00:20:33,200 Findley. I gotta see him, madel and I gotta see it. Now 326 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,279 you lost your option. I'm freelancing here again. Well, you can't walk 327 00:20:36,319 --> 00:20:38,160 out on me. This is gonna hurt fellow. Your wife paid me to 328 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,720 drop the jum. That's what I got to talk to you about. Madara. 329 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:55,880 I think she wants to drop me too. Finley grabbed me for the 330 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:57,640 arm, and you could tell he was scared. His jaw was shut tighter 331 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,839 than a wall safe in his Adams Apple wrote up and down like a yo 332 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,240 yo. Evelyn wanted to compare notes with him on Sutro, but right now, 333 00:21:03,279 --> 00:21:07,559 Finley was as friendly as a no limit poker game. He hustled me 334 00:21:07,599 --> 00:21:10,680 out of the Jade and into a waiting cab. He wouldn't say anything because 335 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,519 of the driver, so he sat in one corner, rubbing his hands and 336 00:21:12,559 --> 00:21:15,759 looking straight ahead. When we got to the office, Finley paid the bill 337 00:21:15,799 --> 00:21:18,920 and we went up the ramp. Inside. He had a little trouble getting 338 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,759 started, like a big family leaving on a picnic, and then he got 339 00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:26,039 his voice. I'm in a bad spot, made, I need help. 340 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,759 I've been trying classified. I'm trying you. I tell you. My wife's 341 00:21:29,759 --> 00:21:32,759 out to get me. She keeps telling me I'm crazy. She's trying to 342 00:21:32,759 --> 00:21:33,799 talk me into it. A lot of wives feel that way, Finley, 343 00:21:33,839 --> 00:21:37,599 she'll get over it. Yeah, but well, I'm adel she's trying to 344 00:21:37,599 --> 00:21:40,279 send me to an asylum. She and sucho. You've got enough worries to 345 00:21:40,279 --> 00:21:42,599 start a peace conference. What brings sutro back into the headlines. I found 346 00:21:42,599 --> 00:21:45,920 a letter and she was pursed Caine one of ten thousand dollars from Shiva to 347 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,279 keep quiet about Sucho. All right, quick, priding me would go. 348 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,039 So your wife had a past and she and Sucho have a future on us 349 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,839 unless you help me. Help me. I tell you. I tell you 350 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,480 Sucho was behind the whole thing. He and my wife must know each other, 351 00:21:57,519 --> 00:22:00,799 and now trying to get rid of me. You're getting a complex Findley, 352 00:22:00,839 --> 00:22:02,920 slow down, Well you gotta help me. Oh, who's gonna help 353 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,039 me? I got a murder rapt to beat. But I'll clear you, 354 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,599 Madero. I'll clear if you help me. Now. You couldn't clear your 355 00:22:07,599 --> 00:22:10,319 own throat and an empty tunnel? What makes you eight feet tall? This 356 00:22:10,519 --> 00:22:12,559 gun in my hand, I'll stop pointing a fella, you're too nervous to 357 00:22:12,599 --> 00:22:15,720 aim. Well, you don't understand it. There, I'm not pointing at 358 00:22:15,599 --> 00:22:18,440 at you. I'm giving it to you. This is the gun that killed 359 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,839 Kane. You were there when it happened. No, but either my wife 360 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,559 or Sutro was When did you dream mat up? An hour ago? I 361 00:22:23,599 --> 00:22:27,000 found in my wife's closet two slugs in this anna I got a feeling of 362 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,720 killed Kane. Send it a homicide. They'll let you know who did it 363 00:22:30,759 --> 00:22:33,119 by return mail. I can't, Madelo, I can't just get I don't 364 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,480 know whether Shilo or Sutro did it. I got a feeling inside You've got 365 00:22:37,519 --> 00:22:40,359 a fine Sutro. You'll end up killing me. Yet that's a prediction. 366 00:22:41,759 --> 00:22:45,799 Wait a minute, someone's coming down the hall. Hi, begun, Madero. 367 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,680 They're after me now. They got to light to play old. They're 368 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,160 ainting for something bigger. What are you gonna do, Maderow, just waiting 369 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:56,839 for something to happen? Who Madero? Madero? I guess it happened. 370 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,359 Somebody turned to flashlight in my eyes and then hit a four bagger, so 371 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:11,759 they hung around. They could have seen me do a couple of quick quivers. 372 00:23:11,759 --> 00:23:15,839 A chorus girl would have been proud of. I laid there in the 373 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,160 dark for a while, and if you're gonna look messy, a blackout is 374 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,799 in a bad place to do it. After a while, I tried to 375 00:23:19,799 --> 00:23:22,359 get up with my stomach fell as empty as a horse laugh at a funeral. 376 00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:26,440 I sprawled out again, and I tried to figure how a name like 377 00:23:26,519 --> 00:23:30,799 Pete Sutro could start so much pain. Then the lights went on. They 378 00:23:30,799 --> 00:23:33,759 should have stayed off because Warchik was breathing over me like a steam engine with 379 00:23:33,799 --> 00:23:37,079 a broken heart. Oh the light, buy of your eyes. Yeah, 380 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,559 war chick, get out of it and get used to it. It's a 381 00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:45,400 lot stronger. Down a headquarters and tell me about the gun on the floor. 382 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,240 I heard you were coming. I wanted to commit suicide. He didn't 383 00:23:48,279 --> 00:23:49,880 try it, and I just got a phone tip that said you had the 384 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,720 gun to kill Marty. Can hand it to me, all right, compero, 385 00:23:53,839 --> 00:23:57,200 make it easy for you. Bentley left the gun here before somebody saped 386 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:02,880 me. It was somebody. Oh any of your friends have names? Sure? 387 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,680 Check with Finley. He was here when it happened. It was dark, 388 00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:07,640 Mado. How did he see with an electric eye? I don't know. 389 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,839 Maybe he smelled his wife's perfume. Look her up to He's that interesting, 390 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,119 he used to think. So, what do you mean? It was 391 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,920 blackmailing? Luck Madaro. A grocery list is blackmailed to you. I'll put 392 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,039 you on the inside. Bentley found a letter in her purse. Kane wanted 393 00:24:22,079 --> 00:24:23,880 ten grand to keep quiet about Sutro. Finley told you all about it. 394 00:24:25,319 --> 00:24:27,200 He can't keep a family secret, and the wife Combo Kane to keep him 395 00:24:27,279 --> 00:24:30,000 quiet. Is that day? I to him, Well, this is your 396 00:24:30,039 --> 00:24:32,920 good day. War Check find Sutro now and you've locked the whole thing. 397 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,440 Oh you find him, Madero, and we'll give you a reward. You're 398 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,240 too generous. What's the pitch Sutro has wanted for a playroll robbery in Detroit. 399 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,319 He's been out of side for a year now. He hasn't been out 400 00:24:41,319 --> 00:24:44,079 of mind, though Finley thinks his wife is carrying on a sideline with him. 401 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,480 Look, Madero, I talk to you, boy Finley. He's got 402 00:24:45,599 --> 00:24:49,680 enough dreams to start a Mactre's factory. I don't believe him. I don't 403 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,720 believe you. You don't believe the world is round. Take stock Warchick and 404 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,119 start learning. Yeah, I will, I will. Let's see how much 405 00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:00,599 the fingerprints on this gun. Teach me you've got a story. I'll stay 406 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,759 after school. He'll still wear the dunce cap, that's all right, but 407 00:25:04,319 --> 00:25:18,440 there'll be a badge on it. Warchick wrapped the gun up in a handkerchief, 408 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,640 and if it killed Marty Kane, I might as well, start writing 409 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,799 letters to the governor. The gun was a plan, but I had about 410 00:25:23,799 --> 00:25:26,720 as much chance of selling after warcheck as a pair of shark pants to a 411 00:25:26,759 --> 00:25:32,839 reform school. Warchick stood there and smiled, Then he walked on. There 412 00:25:32,839 --> 00:25:36,319 were a lot of questions again, like who sapped you? And did Finley 413 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,359 really have a story. The more I thought about it, the more snarled 414 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:45,319 guy. And then the phone right, Yeah, hello, Johnny, this 415 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,559 is father Lay. Are you still free? Yeah? But I'm breathing hard. 416 00:25:48,559 --> 00:25:51,599 How'd you make out? Fine? Johnny? I sold ten raffle tickets? 417 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:56,359 What'd you find out? Warchick just got a teletype Sutro full to payroll 418 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,920 robbery in Detroit. They think Monty Kane helped him. Well, that figures. 419 00:26:00,079 --> 00:26:03,119 What else Sutro and the door was supposed to be somewhere in town. 420 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,079 Yeah, even the Bloodhounds are worried. How does Shila figure? She and 421 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,880 the girl named Evelyn we're both in love with Sutro. The rumor has it 422 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:14,279 the Sutro's favorite with Evelyn. What about Finley? Sheila must have got tired 423 00:26:14,319 --> 00:26:17,839 of share cropping, so she settled for Finlay. They both came in from 424 00:26:17,839 --> 00:26:21,960 Detroit about a year ago. The father it's still fuzzy. Marty Kane was 425 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,000 black, meaning Shila because of Sutro. There must be a tie. Evelyn's 426 00:26:25,039 --> 00:26:29,599 asking the same question, and she thinks Sheila knows the answers. She's on 427 00:26:29,599 --> 00:26:32,720 her way to the Findley Place for a showdown. Thanks Father, I'll tag 428 00:26:32,759 --> 00:26:34,359 along and grab a seat on the sidelines. It'll be a free for all. 429 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,880 If those two girls tangle, don't worry, father, they won't get 430 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:47,400 in my hair. Don't be too sure. Samson had trouble with one girl. 431 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,079 When father lay he hung up, all the pieces began to fall into 432 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,640 place, all but one. Where was Sutro? It was around somewhere, 433 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,200 but it was like throwing a headlock on a shadow. I grabbed a cab 434 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,599 out of the Stafford arms, and when I got there, the dormant looked 435 00:27:03,599 --> 00:27:06,039 at me as if I'd just blown up an orphan. And I took the 436 00:27:06,079 --> 00:27:07,839 elevator and got off on the sixth floor. And then I leaned on the 437 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:12,599 doorbell and Sheila answered. She was wearing a pair of rose colored lounging pajamas. 438 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:17,519 And I've seen baked potatoes with lucid jackets you must have been surprised, 439 00:27:17,519 --> 00:27:19,839 but she didn't blink an eyelash. Are you pausing or a posing? You 440 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,319 see, Dale, I'm looking for trap doors. Oh I thought you're going 441 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,839 to look that way. Come inside. Yeah, I'll bring that dream in 442 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,000 your eye over to the fireplace. They'll warm it up a little. It 443 00:27:32,039 --> 00:27:36,160 won't look good in company. Why who's company? Evelyn's a little late. 444 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,519 She got tied up sharpening her claws. Evelyn, who hold out? Baby, 445 00:27:40,599 --> 00:27:44,440 She's got a better question than that, Like what like words? Pete 446 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,839 sutra? The key sounds like a friend, but too early. That's probably 447 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,279 my husband. Nat Oh, the dar one. I'm glad you're hear somebody's 448 00:27:52,319 --> 00:27:56,839 been following me. Oh you're dreaming again, Darling. You see all right? 449 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:03,079 Tellyer it wasn't a dream. That must be Hello, Sheela, remember 450 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:11,119 me. You must have the wrong place. Lady's the right idea. I 451 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,079 want Pize Souso back. You want too much, I'll grab anyway. I've 452 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,279 come to Pete, Sheila. He came too late, he did. Pete 453 00:28:18,279 --> 00:28:22,079 Succo died two years ago in Detroit. Do you hear me? He's dead? 454 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,279 Not dead enough? You're lying, Sheila. Pete Sucro was standing right 455 00:28:26,319 --> 00:28:29,400 behind you. What do you mean that's my husband, that's Net So you 456 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,079 gave him another name and another face, but you can't give him another voice. 457 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,079 That's Pete Soucco. What are you talking about? What are you saying? 458 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,680 I'm not Pete Soucho. Don't you remember me, Peter? I'm Evivan? 459 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:44,000 Oh? What do they do to your faith? Do? I wasn't 460 00:28:44,039 --> 00:28:48,519 an accent? It's it's hard to remember things. Remember the tyro robbery, 461 00:28:48,559 --> 00:28:52,960 Pete, you were supposed to come back to me, Robbie. Yeah, 462 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,759 it was an accent. I I alays heard I.

Yeah, I told you, Darrol Pete Sutro 480 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,839 was gonna kill me in the end. Yeah, you talked yourself into it. 481 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:56,559 War Check got the whole story. The next morning. Seems that Sukro 482 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,839 and Keen were in a big robbery in Detroit. The plan was for Suito 483 00:31:00,079 --> 00:31:03,640 carry all the door and meet Kanaan Evelyn at their hideout, but Sutro got 484 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,880 smashed up in an auto accident and never made it. Sutro's face had to 485 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,559 be remodeled, and when he lost his memory, Sheila made her pitch. 486 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:14,079 She promoted a wedding and cut herself in on half a stolen cash changed his 487 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,599 name to Nat Finley and brought him out to San Francisco. Kanan and Evelyn 488 00:31:17,599 --> 00:31:18,839 got winned that Sutro had taken out to the coast, so they followed. 489 00:31:19,559 --> 00:31:22,440 They couldn't find him, and for a year, Sheila and Sutro got along 490 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,839 without a hitch, and Sutra began hearing his real name in his own mind. 491 00:31:26,839 --> 00:31:30,119 And before Sheila could do anything, I'd already shown her husband checked the 492 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,759 cane. He recognized Sutro's handwriting right away, and so he started to blackmail 493 00:31:33,799 --> 00:31:37,559 Sheila. He didn't make any yardist because Sheila stopped him with a thirty eighth 494 00:31:37,759 --> 00:31:41,359 and then she tried to convince her husband and he was crazy. Evelyn won 495 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:45,559 in the last round when she recognized Sutro's voice to Jade. Turned out that 496 00:31:45,839 --> 00:31:52,599 Sutra had been chasing himself until he caught himself well. Orchek asked only one 497 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:59,079 question, how can a guy forget his own name? I don't know a 498 00:31:59,119 --> 00:32:10,799 lot of hotels did like? I know that too.

Tony Lafranos is the Mutual Broadcasting System Welcome Back. This episode was 505 00:32:54,839 --> 00:33:00,720 also known as the Man who Chased Himself on This probably one of the most 506 00:33:00,759 --> 00:33:09,160 clever mysteries of the Pat Novak Johnny Madaro episodes out there, So it's definitely 507 00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:22,680 good job and I loved all of all of Madero's lines, expertly delivered and 508 00:33:22,759 --> 00:33:29,480 incredibly hilarious. I definitely missed Jocko in this episode. I don't think Father 509 00:33:29,599 --> 00:33:35,359 Leahy was as good. Was a good replacement, but we'll talk a little 510 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,720 bit more about that next week. Of course, in two weeks we'll be 511 00:33:37,759 --> 00:33:43,359 switching over to Jeff Reagan. But I guess that's about it for this episode. 512 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,680 Got any comments?
