The original air 11 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,599 date July third, nineteen fifty one and the title is A Country's Democracy Threatened. 12 00:01:38,680 --> 00:02:02,319 Dangerous Assignment starring Brian Don Laviz Steve Mitchell. Yeah, danger is my 13 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,280 assignment. I get sent to a lot of places I can't even pronounce. 14 00:02:06,359 --> 00:02:08,560 They all spell the same thing, though, trouble. But when I walk 15 00:02:08,599 --> 00:02:13,439 into the Commissioner's office, I don't realize that this assignment's going to make a 16 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,680 flower hater out of me. A sunflower almost has me pushing up daisies. 17 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,879 Morning Commissioner Bruce said, you had an assignment for me. I do, 18 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,759 Steve, and plainly so. So South America in one hour. South America. 19 00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:34,039 Pretty hot down there this time of year, Isn't it not as hot 20 00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:36,680 as will be after you get down there? Now send me off to get 21 00:02:36,719 --> 00:02:38,599 shot at. On a note of gaiety, I always say, Okay, 22 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,039 what's the deal. Here's the deal, Steve, This country right here on 23 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,000 the map. Yeah, yeah, I might have known. What do you 24 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,639 mean? I read the newspapers too, you know, then you know the 25 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,479 background of the deal pretty much. That particular country's on the fence politically. 26 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,240 There's an election coming up next week. The party in power is democratic and 27 00:02:55,319 --> 00:03:00,439 friendly to us. The Minority party is fascist and not friendly to right. 28 00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:02,960 Last night Borego, head of the Minority Party, was murdered. Why and 29 00:03:04,039 --> 00:03:07,800 what's worse? The man the suspect of murdering Borego is an American named Hartley. 30 00:03:07,039 --> 00:03:10,319 Oh fine, has he been arrested? No, he'sn't hiding somewhere in 31 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:15,960 that country it's a mess. Steve Hartly did Kilberego, the resulting tension in 32 00:03:15,039 --> 00:03:19,240 anti US propaganda will be enough to switch the election over into the hands of 33 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,319 a hostile minority. Yeah. Look, you say, if Hartly killed Barrego, 34 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:24,879 I kind of get the idea that you think the whole deal might be 35 00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:28,840 a frame, do you. I don't think anything, Steve. I'm sending 36 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,800 you down there to do my thinking for me. Well, just one think, 37 00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:35,360 Commissioner, you take it. What's that Suppose it isn't a frame. 38 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,719 Suppose Hartly really did kill Borego. In that case, Steve, where lick 39 00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:40,639 we haven't a leg to stand on. But that's just what you've got to 40 00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:43,719 find out, one way or another. Get down there, Steve, and 41 00:03:43,759 --> 00:03:46,039 do anything that's necessary to get to the bottom of this whole rotten mess. 42 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,960 Well that's it. You've got your assignment. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 43 00:03:49,960 --> 00:04:08,080 I know. Good luck and good luck to you too. A National Broadcasting 44 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,199 Company is presenting Dangerous Assignment, starring Bryan Don Levy in the role of Steve 45 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,839 Mitchell, colorful two fisted government agent. At all those places of the world 46 00:04:15,839 --> 00:04:20,000 where danger and intrigue walk hand in hand, there you will find Steve Mitchell 47 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:31,519 on another dangerous assignment. Sure, I get my assignment, fly down to 48 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,759 a Latin American country and find a murder suspect named Hartley, then proved that 49 00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:40,480 the charge against him is just a frame to swing an election. And all 50 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,720 of this a course in the face of the few characters from an opposing team 51 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,600 will be trying, no doubt, to take me out of the ball game 52 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,279 for keeps. It's Friday when MC plane lands at the Capitol City. I 53 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,959 always figure, if you don't know where else to start, start at the 54 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,120 top. So I head for the office of the Prime Minister. A worried 55 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,480 gent named Valdez. Does it bed situations in your nature? An incident this 56 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,120 series could easily be enough to start a landslide that would carry the Fashes into 57 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,480 power in the election. Yeah, that man Borego supposed you tell me a 58 00:05:09,519 --> 00:05:14,199 little about him. Well, it is my secret belief that he had almost 59 00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:16,639 outlived his usefulness to his party, his reputation. That becomes so bad. 60 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,399 But now, of course it is quite different. Now he's a big, 61 00:05:20,439 --> 00:05:25,639 fat martyr. Precisely. One of the newspapers here in the city is controlled 62 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,680 by Borego's party and They, of course, are busy convincing everyone that Borego 63 00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:31,279 is the greatest man who ever lived. Well, I guess that's all I 64 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,920 need to know about Barrego. But what about this murder suspect Hardly where does 65 00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:38,600 he fed? End of the picture? That is the mystifying parts in your 66 00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:42,560 meature. Hardly has lived in his country for several years. He represents a 67 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,480 group of American financial interests. Here what you might call a lobbyist. I 68 00:05:46,519 --> 00:05:49,319 don't suppose you'd have any idea where Hardly has hidings in your valles. Notice 69 00:05:49,439 --> 00:05:54,959 Lightest and your Unfortunately, the fact that he is hiding looks somewhat bad for 70 00:05:55,040 --> 00:06:03,199 him. Come in the great man. They're working tirelessly behind his desk to 71 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,759 lead our country into slavery. Good afternoon, Senior Ortic. I see that 72 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,800 are powerful northern neighbors have lotional time in sending one of their agents down. 73 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,600 Senior Ortigue is editor of one of our newspapers. Senor Mitchell, three guesses 74 00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:21,000 which one? And you visually necessary orders to the so called head of our 75 00:06:21,079 --> 00:06:26,680 government. Senior Steve Mitchell, send your artigue. Your insolence is by now 76 00:06:26,759 --> 00:06:29,319 familiar to me, but I must ask you, if you intend to converse 77 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,959 with us, that you observe the common courtesies. One does not speak with 78 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:40,519 him a full see you are right you Jesus, Senior Steve Mitchell, being 79 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,560 what they poor ignorant citizen. And I'm not familiar with some of the refinements 80 00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:50,639 of life. Oh brother, but here preveryday two of you will share my 81 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:56,800 simple full time senior days. No crosses, Senior Mitchell, I go, 82 00:06:56,959 --> 00:06:59,879 and I have plenty in this paper. Baby, one are your what son? 83 00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:04,560 Flower sees sunflowers? See? Jem an excellent nerve, Tannic, I 84 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,680 suspect your nerves could use it. Tannic at presence, Senior admit sure, 85 00:07:09,759 --> 00:07:13,759 Hey, what do I have to be nervous about? I see you are 86 00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:16,959 excellent bluffer, Senior. Look, I'm just down here the seat that this 87 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:24,279 Hartley guy gets a fair shake. Indeed, what kind of you say? 88 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,519 Fair shake? Do you think a murderer deserves? You know? I must 89 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,600 be behind the times. Last I heard, the trial hadn't been held, 90 00:07:30,879 --> 00:07:33,839 and he partly is not guilty. Why is he hiding? That's a good 91 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:39,120 question. Or take here's another. Any particular motive for Hartley too kill the 92 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,360 Rigo. But of course I see you have not read my paper today. 93 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,920 I tell all there, suppose you tell all here very well. We haven't 94 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:51,040 done the best of authority. That hardly went to the leader of our party, 95 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:56,040 Borego, with a most treacherous proposal. Oh what was it? Simply 96 00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:01,040 that Borego sell our party out to the American imperialist art they resented. Naturally 97 00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:05,519 Borego refused, partly killed him. Sounds real simple here, you tell it. 98 00:08:05,839 --> 00:08:09,319 But there's just one thing wrong with it. Your party isn't in power. 99 00:08:09,439 --> 00:08:13,560 How could Borego as its leader be in a position to make any deals 100 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,759 at the kind you describe? You forget that after next week my party will 101 00:08:16,839 --> 00:08:20,959 be in power. That is to be decided by election artic a foregone conclusion. 102 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,360 You seem pretty sure yourself. I suppose you've already got a job picked 103 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:31,080 out for yourself in the new model state, Sure, director of maybe most 104 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,279 happy to serve in whatever capacity I can. You better not cut your sunflower 105 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,720 seas before their hats to Artig and you send your better than at count and 106 00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:43,840 accomplishing anything by this tree at least is guilty. You'll be captured sooner or 107 00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:48,360 later. And no amount of this quite washing by you, and what this 108 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,639 party can change that, Artica, I want, that's sure. I will 109 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,080 give the nature of your mission white publicity. Mitch. Oh, look, 110 00:08:54,200 --> 00:09:00,440 I see you do not want publicity. Then I shall be more they lighted 111 00:09:00,519 --> 00:09:03,240 and ever to give it to you, Senior Artic. I am certain we 112 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,440 have nothing more to say to each other. Yep, you are right, 113 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:11,000 Senior. One days it's time for talk is best. They cannot persuade either 114 00:09:11,159 --> 00:09:16,279 of you to share my son flower seeds. I leave some flower seeds. 115 00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:20,679 Let's see they use those in chicken feed, don't they. What do you 116 00:09:20,759 --> 00:09:24,039 mean by let nothing? Nothing at all? I'll see a later, Artigue. 117 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:31,000 Indeed, you wait well. An all time showman in the States once 118 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,039 said he didn't care what they wrote about him as long as they spelled his 119 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,000 name right. I guess that goes for me, except I hope they spell 120 00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:39,000 the name of my hotel right too. What I thought you did not want 121 00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:41,840 any publicity? I just let Artic think that, so he'd be sure to 122 00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:46,559 give me plenty. Ah, I understand it is hardly wherever he is should 123 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,759 read in the paper who and where you are. He may try to contact 124 00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:52,720 cats about the size of it. Well, I'll be getting along. The 125 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,120 best of luck to you, Senor Mitchell. But please remember, from this 126 00:09:56,279 --> 00:10:05,600 moment on you are entirely on your own, aren't that note of good cheer? 127 00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:09,159 I leave Valdet's office and start walking along the sidewalk back to my hotel. 128 00:10:09,279 --> 00:10:13,399 It's dark now, and then I noticed a figure walking along the sidewalk 129 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,039 on the other side of the street, parallel to me and a little behind 130 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,600 me. Just a hunch, but I speed up a little bit, so 131 00:10:20,799 --> 00:10:26,200 does he. Then I slowed down. He follows suit. I'm sure he's 132 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,919 following me. Suddenly I turned down a side street. I hear scurrying steps 133 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,840 behind me. Then suddenly ahead of me, I see another figure. It's 134 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,679 a trap and ali opens up to my right. I dive into it. 135 00:10:37,759 --> 00:10:41,559 The slugs rustle my eyebrows. Then it's quiet. I wait a minute, 136 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,519 then ease out of the alley. No one in sight. I turned in 137 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,200 the corner and there's a figure in the doorway. I jump him. Let 138 00:10:48,399 --> 00:10:52,039 two of me just stand stillbuster, I said, let go meet. That's 139 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,279 the same gun you were popping a boy at me with a minute ago. 140 00:10:54,600 --> 00:11:00,679 You'll take it there you have made the misticks sigging Mitchell, I've made a 141 00:11:00,759 --> 00:11:03,559 mistake. But you know my name. Don't give me that I know your 142 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,960 name because I have been following you, That's what I mean. But I 143 00:11:05,039 --> 00:11:07,159 am not one of those who shout at you a moment ago. Oh look, 144 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,360 you expect me to believe that you didn't match all. I do not 145 00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:13,120 feel abregated to prove what I say to you. And yet, if you 146 00:11:13,159 --> 00:11:15,440 will kindly place my gun under your nose and smell of it, you will 147 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,600 see that it has not been fired recently. Well, no, it hasn't. 148 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,200 Look if you didn't take that shot at me? Who did? Two 149 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,679 men were following you. They run off before I could get to this scene. 150 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,360 Who are you? And how come you know my name? I'm Alfred 151 00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:31,960 Goya, chief of Police. Why precisely? And now may I have my 152 00:11:31,039 --> 00:11:35,200 gun back? Why? Yeah? But I still don't see why you were 153 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,519 following me. The warn you, senor Mitchell, I know who you are 154 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,320 and why you are here. Oh you want me to keep hands off? 155 00:11:41,799 --> 00:11:43,840 You could not have stated it more clearly. I guess that sort of tips 156 00:11:43,879 --> 00:11:48,000 me as the which camp you're in You're mistaken against Senior, I am in 157 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,039 neither camp. Then what is your angle in this deal? My angle, 158 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,200 as you call it, is quite simple. Politics is not my business, 159 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,840 but law enforce my is. I have the best police force in South America. 160 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,759 At present. We are engaged in the for a fugit different justice partly 161 00:12:01,879 --> 00:12:05,159 partly I do not intend to let anything or anyone interfere without search, Senor 162 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,320 Mitchell, And by anyone, I mean chiefly you. Well, you've made 163 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,039 yourself pretty clear, Goya. What happens if I sort of getting your way 164 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,639 somewhere along the line. My policemen are quite zealous, Senor Mitchell, and 165 00:12:16,759 --> 00:12:26,039 the penalty for obstructing justice is quite severe. Need I say more? No, 166 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,679 he doesn't have to say anymore. I've got the picture in this deal. 167 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,799 I've got no friends at all. Ortigue and his paper are out to 168 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,559 cut my throat. Baldi's can't lift a finger to help me. And now 169 00:12:33,639 --> 00:12:37,559 Goya tells me that he'd be happy to steamroller me out of his way. 170 00:12:37,039 --> 00:12:39,720 I go back to my hotel. The papers are out by now with a 171 00:12:39,799 --> 00:12:43,320 story about me. So I wait in my room a couple of hours on 172 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:48,240 the chance that Hartly might contact me. But nothing happens. Finally I give 173 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,759 up and I got down to the bar for a drink. Down at the 174 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,039 other end of the bar, SIT's a dark eyed lovely and at least that's 175 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,600 where she is the first time I look. The next time I look, 176 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:01,840 she's right beside me. Hallo, I I have been talking to myself. 177 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,360 See, I say to myself, there he is drinking alone. Here am 178 00:13:07,399 --> 00:13:09,879 I drinking alone? But why we don't drink together? Or why don't we? 179 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,200 Indeed, now I ask myself questions, Say you've got something going on 180 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,000 all the time, haven't you? I said the laws? What is this 181 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,120 boy's name? What is the laws? Saying? Oh, you don't get 182 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:26,080 it, honey, I am delors. Oh really, Steve Mitchell's mind laws. 183 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,519 See, I've thought so good. I had to be sure. I 184 00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:31,279 must talk to you about Jack. Jack? Who's Jack? And how did 185 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:35,840 he get into the action? Jack Hardley? I am his girl. We 186 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,720 read about you in the paper and knew you were a one chance. I 187 00:13:37,799 --> 00:13:41,320 did not do a telephone your room the police, but be listening in. 188 00:13:41,879 --> 00:13:43,840 So I came here to the bar and waited, hoping it sooner or later 189 00:13:43,919 --> 00:13:46,919 you would get thirsty. Well, for once my thirst stayed off. You 190 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,720 know where Hartly is. Oh see, I've been hiding him in my apartment. 191 00:13:52,000 --> 00:14:05,600 You come quickly up, there's no time to lose. That's the apartment 192 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,840 house up ahead us. See. Hey, what bunch of guys coming out 193 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,879 the front entrance. Yeah, and I've got a guy in the middle of 194 00:14:13,159 --> 00:14:18,840 Jack. That's Hartley video. Oh great, we have to look. Look, 195 00:14:20,159 --> 00:14:22,799 I'm going down at the police headquarters and see if they let me talk 196 00:14:22,799 --> 00:14:31,679 to him the laws. I'll check with you later. I find Doya in 197 00:14:31,759 --> 00:14:35,759 his office with him as the editor. Ortigue smirking happily through a face full 198 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:43,159 of sunflower seeds. Senor Metel, you're at treep down to our country was 199 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,399 quite in vain. Too bad, too bad? Well, try not to 200 00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:48,279 cry, Ortigue. What is the Jewish? Senor Mitchell? I'd like to 201 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,440 talk to Hartley? Or maybe you'd rather I didn't. I see no reason 202 00:14:52,519 --> 00:14:54,919 why you should not come. I will take you to his self. Okay, 203 00:14:56,759 --> 00:15:01,320 one moment, Senor, take where are you going? M oh do? 204 00:15:01,639 --> 00:15:03,159 I I thought I will go to the cell, which you see no 205 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,679 reason for that, But you have already interviewed the prisoner. I have given 206 00:15:07,679 --> 00:15:11,039 you such facts as I possess, there is no need for you to accompany. 207 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,200 So on your Mitchell here do you say?

Maybe you wouldn't mind 210 00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:26,360 telling me? And what is that? You and your boys did a good 211 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,399 job of finding Hardly and locking him up. Did it ever occur to you 212 00:15:28,559 --> 00:15:33,799 this whole deal might be a frame? Who can say, well, what 213 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,360 if you found out it was, then I should work equally hard to free 214 00:15:37,399 --> 00:15:41,720 Hardly. You intend to do anything about finding out there is this self? 215 00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:50,480 Senor Mitchell, you may have five minutes along with a prisoner. Hello Hardly, 216 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,000 Oh you Steve Mitchell, accomminated from the States. Oh what do you 217 00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:00,360 want? Look, you probably know the deal better than I do. There's 218 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,720 an election coming up here next week. The minority part wants to win. 219 00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:07,799 They also want to discredit the United States, so they take a US citizen 220 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,600 you and rig a frame on you. Frame they charge you with the murder 221 00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:14,440 of their party leader. Berego. Now, if you can just give me 222 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,879 some idea who might be in on it and make sure yeah, you're wasting 223 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,440 your time. What do you mean it's no frame? All right? I 224 00:16:22,559 --> 00:16:41,200 really did kill Beerego. It's the Silver Jubilee on NBC Tomorrow on most NBC 225 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,559 stations, listen for the premier of Pete Kelly's Blues. Pete Kelly he lived 226 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,000 the fast life of a Prohibition musician when Kansas City was the heart that beat, 227 00:16:49,039 --> 00:16:52,840 the temple of the Roaring twenties. His trademark was a Boston three star 228 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,039 cornet. His big year was nineteen twenty two.

And now back to 231 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:23,359 Dangerous Assignment and Brian don Labe, Steve Mitchell, let me have that again. 232 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,480 Hardly hurt me right the first time Mitchell I killed Perego, so they 233 00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:30,960 caught up with me like, I say, you're wasting your time. Why 234 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,920 did you kill him? I wanted to cut Ferego in on a big business 235 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,359 deal his party won the election. I would have meant about two million pacos 236 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,599 to split, but he didn't see it my way In trying to make trouble 237 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,759 for me. Do you mean the story at Ortie Grand in his lousy paper 238 00:17:44,759 --> 00:17:48,119 who was true? Yeah? Oh no, I just can't seem to believe. 239 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,599 Hey, wait a minute, come over here. You know it's a 240 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,400 matter. I want to look at you under the light. Hey, what 241 00:17:55,480 --> 00:18:00,319 are you doing lifting my eyelids?

I don't know if you realize what 244 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,440 this killing couldn't mean, A possible split between this country and ours, the 245 00:18:10,559 --> 00:18:14,039 beginning of a new fascist movement. Brother, you couldn't have done a better 246 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,079 job of selling us down the river if you try lay up the sermon. 247 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,880 I got troubles enough about you, okay, Okay, I'll be seeing it 248 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,640 hardly. Yeah, why, that's a good question. If I can think 249 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:30,960 of an answer, I'll be back. Guard leads me out of hardly selling. 250 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,200 I start down the corridor wondering what I'm gonna do. Then I spot 251 00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:37,960 a little gentle massaging the floor with a broom. I get an idea, 252 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:48,799 Senor, ascuse me, please under your feet against sweet you work here beneath 253 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,440 or Senor, you're most polite to put it the way you do.

Benito? Can you beat this 257 00:19:03,799 --> 00:19:08,640 for making the flowery speech? Flowery speech? Oh you mean political romantic? 258 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,519 See I say like this?

You mean they put you in jail for that? How about 261 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,079 that? I don't get it. What's wrong with that?

Senuel was a difference, 264 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:36,079 Senorita, Oh brother, what a glutton for punishment.

Yeah? 268 00:19:48,839 --> 00:19:52,079 No, see, anybody go in that cell with a hypodermic middle. 269 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,799 No, Senior, this is really important, Panito. So I hope you're 270 00:19:55,839 --> 00:19:57,680 sure about it, But I am Senior, I've been right here in the 271 00:19:57,759 --> 00:20:03,000 corridor ever since they bring sen You're hardly in okay, Benito, thanks, 272 00:20:11,519 --> 00:20:15,119 Oh look, Dolores, crying about Hartley is not gonna help. I just 273 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,400 don't see what else I can do. I know, Senior mich you have 274 00:20:18,519 --> 00:20:22,559 been most kind of all you have. It's just I cannot seem to believe 275 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,480 it yet. I guess from the first time, why did he hide? 276 00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:30,240 I kept asking myself, Yeah, I know, Well, I've done a 277 00:20:30,279 --> 00:20:33,640 little checking before coming over here, and I guess in addition to his confession, 278 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,319 they've got a pretty good case against him. He was seeing entering Barrego's 279 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,480 house ten minutes before the killing, and he came out running after the shots 280 00:20:41,519 --> 00:20:45,200 were heard. And it's funny, though, Veniel. Oh, nothing, 281 00:20:45,279 --> 00:20:48,440 just a feeling in a fit of my stomach. Why I do not understand, 282 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,720 wondering if I've overlooked anything, what would it be. It's just that 283 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,400 there's something about this deal. It doesn't quite sit right with me. Oh, 284 00:20:56,519 --> 00:21:00,880 Senior Michi, do you think there is any chance all that he could 285 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,839 be innocent? No? No, right now it looks real doubtful, Delores. 286 00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:07,519 I don't get your hopes up. But I just happen to think one 287 00:21:07,559 --> 00:21:10,920 place I haven't looked for any new leads. Where is that his apartment? 288 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:22,920 Come on, there is Jack's apartment, Senor Meach. The door on the 289 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,599 right. Okay, maybe I can get the manager to let us in. 290 00:21:26,759 --> 00:21:30,759 And hey, wait a minute, the door is ajar. Well, come 291 00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:34,519 in, Senor Mitchell, come in, my old friend, the chief of 292 00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:41,079 police. A little surprised to see you here. Go aha, may I 293 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,759 ask laim. I thought you had all case and evidence you will need it 294 00:21:44,799 --> 00:21:48,960 against hardly that everything was all set. It isn't possible that you think the 295 00:21:48,039 --> 00:21:51,559 deal could still be a frame? Is it? As I told you before, 296 00:21:51,599 --> 00:21:53,920 I'm interested only in sing justice stump, Senor Mitchell, Oh my god, 297 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,119 Yeah, that's why I came here, see if I could turn up 298 00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,279 anything in the way of a lead. But if you've already gone over the 299 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,359 place, I arrived only a moment before you send your I see, but 300 00:22:03,519 --> 00:22:04,920 what is it you are looking for? Seava? There, you've got me 301 00:22:06,039 --> 00:22:08,400 the laws. I don't know. I'm just checking the tables and drawers and 302 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:14,000 ash trays the rug. But said Mitchell, what did you pick up off 303 00:22:14,039 --> 00:22:18,000 the rug? Go ahead, if you come here along. See has anyone 304 00:22:18,039 --> 00:22:21,240 else been here since Hardly went into hiding, No, Senor. The room 305 00:22:21,279 --> 00:22:23,839 has been kept locked an undergut at my order. Why thanks, where are 306 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:36,599 you going? See you later? Why did you come back here? I 307 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,000 told you you were wasting your time? Yeah, and you almost had me 308 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,160 convinced. Hardly, I don't get you. It's all beginning to fall into 309 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,880 place. Finally, what are you talking about? It could go together this 310 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,480 way? Hardly. Brego is leader of the Fascist Party, but he's outlived 311 00:22:48,599 --> 00:22:51,880 is usefulness. So why not get rid of them in such a way that 312 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,400 the cause of the party will be further kill two birds with one stone. 313 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:56,960 I don't know what this is all about, but you've just let me finish. 314 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:03,000 So what the party needs is a fall guy. You me get out 315 00:23:03,039 --> 00:23:04,839 of here. Mitchell, you're not making sense. Oh you killed Arego? 316 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:07,920 The party gets you off the hook. Barrego is the only one of those 317 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,720 guys I know. They's had nothing to do with Look at this, Hardly, 318 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,480 what is it? Little gray and white husk or something. It's the 319 00:23:15,599 --> 00:23:19,279 shell of a sunflower seed, and I found it in your apartment of sunflower 320 00:23:19,319 --> 00:23:23,079 See. Yeah, you know someone who's always stuffing them into his big fat 321 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,319 face, and so do I Ortigue, the editor of the fascist newspaper. 322 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,400 Look, Mitchell, know how that adds up to me? Ortigue was in 323 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,279 your apartment cooking up this whole deal with you. You take the rap for 324 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,039 them and they get your wharf? Was that at No, you're a real 325 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,599 keen patriotic kid. Hardly get out of Okay I will, but first just 326 00:23:40,759 --> 00:23:42,480 let me leave a cheerful little thought with you. Yeah, what is it? 327 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:47,160 You think you've been pretty smart in this deal, but actually you're the 328 00:23:47,319 --> 00:23:49,880 world's prize sucker. Yeah, okay, you've said just saying I'll get an 329 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:55,039 execution in this country is by firing squad, isn't it? What did Artigue 330 00:23:55,079 --> 00:23:57,799 tell you that he had connections would make sure there are blank cartridges and the 331 00:23:57,839 --> 00:24:00,519 gun. Shut up and get out of here. You know, from the 332 00:24:00,599 --> 00:24:03,079 look on your face, I'd say that was the gag? All right, 333 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,559 blank cartridges in the firing squad. Gun you through? Now sure I'm leaving 334 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,359 and there's something to remember me by. You really think your beloved party boys 335 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,559 want somebody left alive who knows as much about the deal as you do. 336 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,039 What do you mean by that you really think those are gonna be blank cartridges 337 00:24:21,559 --> 00:24:30,720 mature So long, Hartly, I leave him looking very thoughtful and slightly scared. 338 00:24:30,759 --> 00:24:33,960 I don't know how much of the deal I've got figured out right, 339 00:24:33,039 --> 00:24:37,720 but from his reactions I've hit the main points on the nose. I also 340 00:24:37,759 --> 00:24:40,200 don't know how much of a dent I've made in him, but I do 341 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:41,920 know this is my only chance. I give him a couple of hours to 342 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,839 think things over, and then I honestly suggested Dolores that she pay him a 343 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,240 visit to cheer him up. I wait outside the jail, and pretty soon 344 00:24:49,319 --> 00:24:52,119 she comes out in a hurry. I follow her to a hotel and catch 345 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,079 up with it just as she's entering the lobby. Just a minute, Dolores, 346 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,880 Oh, Stephen, com one, let's have it. What come on? 347 00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:03,759 Come on, quit stalling. But I don't know what you are talking 348 00:25:03,799 --> 00:25:06,440 about. I arranged for you to pay a visit the Hartley in his cell 349 00:25:06,519 --> 00:25:10,720 so he'd have a chance to give it to you a confession, Steve, 350 00:25:10,759 --> 00:25:14,119 I don't understand. Look, Hartley is now afraid the boys are going to 351 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,240 sell him out, So what's the logical thing for him to do? Write 352 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,960 a confession of the whole deal and smuggle it out of the jail. That's 353 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,480 insurance for him. He gave me no such documentary. You want to help 354 00:25:23,559 --> 00:25:26,519 him, don't you. You know I do, But I'm telling you the 355 00:25:26,599 --> 00:25:30,640 truth. He gave me no such document Swarren, he would have. Don't 356 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,319 tell me. I've figured this whole deal wrong. And what is the matter, 357 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:41,519 Steve, Ah, skip it, I'll see you around. What stopped 358 00:25:41,519 --> 00:25:44,079 me? All of a sudden there's a guy outside on the sidewalk, beckoning 359 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:45,759 to me through the lobby window. I go out and follow him into the 360 00:25:45,759 --> 00:25:48,759 alley. It's Benita, the little jail trusty with a broom. Only right 361 00:25:48,799 --> 00:25:52,480 now, instead of a broom, he's holding a piece of paper. Yeah 362 00:25:52,799 --> 00:25:56,720 this is for you signor Hardly asked me to deliver. I was able to 363 00:25:56,759 --> 00:25:59,920 get a ride on the laundry truck. Hardly say it's very important, goodbye, 364 00:26:00,039 --> 00:26:03,559 got gone. Benito melts away into the shadows by the flame from my 365 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,119 cigarette light. I read the letter, and all of a sudden everything falls 366 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,519 in the place, But too late, because right then something else falls in 367 00:26:10,599 --> 00:26:15,599 the place too, A gun barrel in my ribs. Such a nasty letter. 368 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,960 Steven. Well, you know the old saying dolores eavesdroppers always hear ill 369 00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:25,240 of themselves. I guess that also applies to reading letters over other people's shoulders. 370 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,240 Fortunate for me that only you have read the letters, Stephen. It 371 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:32,440 sure is. It says that you kill Beerego and sugared hardly under taking the 372 00:26:32,559 --> 00:26:36,119 rap telling him he'd be taken care of. He would have been too sure 373 00:26:36,319 --> 00:26:40,279 by the firing squad with real bullets that shuts his mouth. Your party has 374 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,559 rid of Therego and rides in the power on a wave of anti us feeling. 375 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,519 You analyze our plan very well. Now I must thank you for mentioning 376 00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:52,200 the possibility of hardly writing such a letter as this, Steven. Otherwise I 377 00:26:52,279 --> 00:26:55,160 might not have known about it. But when I saw the little man beckoning 378 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,200 to you through the window, I've followed. Yeah, you can chalk that 379 00:26:57,319 --> 00:27:00,519 bloomer up to me, all right? When I sent you to sea hardly, 380 00:27:00,519 --> 00:27:03,640 I figured he'd give you the letter, but naturally he wouldn't. Well, 381 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:07,599 all of that does not matter now I'm afraid it must be goodbye for 382 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,480 you. Just a minute, the larson, What is the sense, Steve? 383 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:12,799 You can't get away with this, you know. No, And why 384 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,759 not that little guy who brought me this letter? What about him? He 385 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,640 left? No, No, that's where you're wrong. He's still around in 386 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,480 the shadows right near here. Even really, you can do better than that. 387 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,359 There is really a policeman, special police, when a Goya's man. 388 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,599 Really. We rigged that act in the lobby window to draw you out here 389 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,359 in the alley. We figured you might start shooting in the hotel and somebody 390 00:27:32,519 --> 00:27:34,640 get hurt. You have quite an imagination, Steve, on that right hand 391 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,079 of yours. I see you bringing it up slowly, stopping better, dropped 392 00:27:37,079 --> 00:27:40,880 the gun the lares Like I tell you, Bernato is standing right over there 393 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,519 in the shadows, and he's got you covered. The oldest bluff in the 394 00:27:42,559 --> 00:27:48,440 world. He is there. Thanks for turning your head, baby, So 395 00:27:48,799 --> 00:27:51,559 I'll take the gun. Thanks. You'll tricked me? Yeah, yeah, 396 00:27:51,599 --> 00:27:53,319 so I did, as it turned out. But believe me, it was 397 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,839 as big a surprise to me as it was that you you were just bluffing. 398 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:03,240 I sure was, Yeah, thanks to a big assist from you. 399 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,680 You'll be interested in knowing that I just passed you off as one of goya 400 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,680 As special police indeed, that makes you a quick thinker. Yeah. I 401 00:28:11,759 --> 00:28:14,240 told the Laura as you rigged that act in the lobby, when to draw 402 00:28:14,319 --> 00:28:18,319 her outside so nobody would get hurt. See very quick thinker. Also slay 403 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,240 psyche psychic. See that is why I look her outside. Wait a minute, 404 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,440 who are you? You just said it when I'm Goya's special police. 405 00:28:26,279 --> 00:28:30,160 Now I've seen everything you see Goya, like yourself suspected a frame. I 406 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,960 was stationed at the jail when Hartley Losey's nerve and wrote the confession. We 407 00:28:33,079 --> 00:28:36,160 know that we are right, but we needed to catch us. And you 408 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,319 read also, and now we have Cotta. It looks like go Ahead deserves 409 00:28:38,359 --> 00:28:41,920 a lot more credit than I gave him. He's a good man who incidentally 410 00:28:42,039 --> 00:28:48,039 think the same thing about you. Oh he's interested in knowing what glue put 411 00:28:48,079 --> 00:28:52,839 you on the right back. Sunflower Seed and Hartley's apartment. See that connected 412 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,200 Hartley and Ortigue. Yeah that's sunflower Seed sort of ruined Artigue in his plan, 413 00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:34,200 which is quite fretting. He's a pretty seedy character anyway. Dangerous Assignment 414 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:38,519 starring Brian don Levy as Steve Mitchell with Hert Butterfield as the Commissioner is written 415 00:29:38,559 --> 00:29:42,079 by Bob Ryfe and Adrian John Doe, with music by Robert arm Brewster, 416 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,920 and is produced and directed by Bill Karne. Others in the cast were Bill 417 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,839 Conrad, Betty lou Gerson, Tony Barrett, Paul Freeze, and Bill Johnstone. 418 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,480 Be with us again next week at this time when Brian Don Leavey, 419 00:29:53,519 --> 00:29:59,279 starring in the role of Steve Mitchell, will embark on another dangerous assignment. 420 00:30:10,839 --> 00:30:26,359 It's the Silver Jubilee on NBC Welcome Back. This was a good episode with 421 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:33,400 an interesting solution. There were several solutions that to me seemed kind of obvious, 422 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,440 and they didn't go with any of them, and I was pleasantly surprised. 423 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:42,720 Steve Mitchell, on the other hand, was not quite so pleasantly surprised 424 00:30:42,839 --> 00:30:48,440 based on the big plot twist, but lives another day thanks to the quick 425 00:30:48,599 --> 00:30:55,119 thinking of the local police. Again not what you would typically expect, but 426 00:30:55,359 --> 00:31:00,559 I like them changing it up a bit now. I will say that Steve's 427 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:07,400 statement that it's hot in South America that time of year is a really big 428 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:15,079 generalization since a large part of South America is below the equator. However, 429 00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,359 I guess it would be hard to call him out on it if the commissioner 430 00:31:18,519 --> 00:31:23,839 said, well, Steve, actually, for the parts of South America that 431 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:30,119 are below the equator, it is technically winter, and so in Argentina it's 432 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,880 actually the start of the coldest month of the year. And Steve was say, 433 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:37,119 are you sending me to Argentina. No, I'm sending you to this 434 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:42,160 unnamed country. But my point is that if it was Argentina, it would 435 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,759 be very temperate, with highs in the fifties. And with that note, 436 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,680 we turned a lesson our comments and feedback, and we have a comment on 437 00:31:49,839 --> 00:31:57,000 our four thousand, one hundred and fiftieth episodes special Fragile Content's Death and over 438 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,920 on YouTube Lessen our Riots. What triggered me in the story was when they 439 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:07,240 destroyed the Little Boys Watch. As someone who ordered from finger Hut and Service 440 00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:10,039 merchandise as a kid, I counted the days until I got that package, 441 00:32:10,079 --> 00:32:15,480 and if it didn't show up on time, I would bug that mailman until 442 00:32:15,519 --> 00:32:17,480 he looked into it. Well, thanks so much for the comment. I 443 00:32:17,599 --> 00:32:23,160 can definitely see that I didn't order stuff often by mail, in part because 444 00:32:23,319 --> 00:32:29,319 we moved around so much when I was a kid. Until after my eleventh 445 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:35,759 birthday, but it would definitely be upsetting if he ordered something special and it 446 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:40,440 got destroyed by the post office, even with appropriate reimbursement. So many folks 447 00:32:40,759 --> 00:32:45,519 don't know how easy they have it with all the two days shipping and such 448 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:50,519 that's offered these days. Well, now it's time to thank our Patreon supporter 449 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,160 of the day, and I want to go ahead and thank Boss.

This is bad. Your sister Rose was found 461 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,079 in this room stab to death with a paper knight. You were the only 462 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,079 person in the room with them, and you admit that paper knight is yours. 463 00:33:54,279 --> 00:33:59,079 Yes, but if I killed Rose, I didn't know I was doing 464 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,680 it. I have done it in a dream and in a nightmare. That 465 00:34:01,799 --> 00:34:07,640 might be very difficult to prove, Missus Blake. Mister Chamillion, you must 466 00:34:07,759 --> 00:34:10,639 help me. I intend to if you're an innocent, But my job is 467 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:15,079 to find the murderer, whoever it is. And if I'm guilty, if 468 00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:19,519 I killed my own sister, I want to be convicted. Tell me something. 469 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,599 Did you and your sister live alone in this house except for Tompkins your 470 00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:29,320 my plan. Yes, we lived here alone. That is after my husband 471 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:34,440 and my son, Roddy, they were killed in an automobile accident. Yes, 472 00:34:35,079 --> 00:34:37,440 two years ago. But as I told you, Roddy has come back 473 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:43,079 to me lately, back from the dead. I heard his voice right here 474 00:34:43,159 --> 00:34:46,639 in this room. Did your sister hear it too. If she did, 475 00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:51,840 she wouldn't have told me, mister Chamillion. Rose didn't usually sleep in this 476 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,719 room with me, but she she was worried about me, and that's why 477 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,639 she was here tonight. She had reason to be worried. What is the 478 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,000 name of the man that you've been consulting. What this man who makes you 479 00:35:02,159 --> 00:35:07,239 think that you're hitting your son's voice? What's his name? I can't remember. 480 00:35:08,039 --> 00:35:12,800 I only went there once. God remember his name. I hope you'll 481 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,599 be with us then.
