Now it's time for this week's episode of Dangerous Assignment. The original air
date July third, nineteen fifty one and the title is A Country's Democracy Threatened.
Dangerous Assignment starring Brian Don Laviz Steve Mitchell. Yeah, danger is my
assignment. I get sent to a lot of places I can't even pronounce.
They all spell the same thing, though, trouble. But when I walk
into the Commissioner's office, I don't realize that this assignment's going to make a
flower hater out of me. A sunflower almost has me pushing up daisies.
Morning Commissioner Bruce said, you had an assignment for me. I do,
Steve, and plainly so. So South America in one hour. South America.
Pretty hot down there this time of year, Isn't it not as hot
as will be after you get down there? Now send me off to get
shot at. On a note of gaiety, I always say, Okay,
what's the deal. Here's the deal, Steve, This country right here on
the map. Yeah, yeah, I might have known. What do you
mean? I read the newspapers too, you know, then you know the
background of the deal pretty much. That particular country's on the fence politically.
There's an election coming up next week. The party in power is democratic and
friendly to us. The Minority party is fascist and not friendly to right.
Last night Borego, head of the Minority Party, was murdered. Why and
what's worse? The man the suspect of murdering Borego is an American named Hartley.
Oh fine, has he been arrested? No, he'sn't hiding somewhere in
that country it's a mess. Steve Hartly did Kilberego, the resulting tension in
anti US propaganda will be enough to switch the election over into the hands of
a hostile minority. Yeah. Look, you say, if Hartly killed Barrego,
I kind of get the idea that you think the whole deal might be
a frame, do you. I don't think anything, Steve. I'm sending
you down there to do my thinking for me. Well, just one think,
Commissioner, you take it. What's that Suppose it isn't a frame.
Suppose Hartly really did kill Borego. In that case, Steve, where lick
we haven't a leg to stand on. But that's just what you've got to
find out, one way or another. Get down there, Steve, and
do anything that's necessary to get to the bottom of this whole rotten mess.
Well that's it. You've got your assignment. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I know. Good luck and good luck to you too. A National Broadcasting
Company is presenting Dangerous Assignment, starring Bryan Don Levy in the role of Steve
Mitchell, colorful two fisted government agent. At all those places of the world
where danger and intrigue walk hand in hand, there you will find Steve Mitchell
on another dangerous assignment. Sure, I get my assignment, fly down to
a Latin American country and find a murder suspect named Hartley, then proved that
the charge against him is just a frame to swing an election. And all
of this a course in the face of the few characters from an opposing team
will be trying, no doubt, to take me out of the ball game
for keeps. It's Friday when MC plane lands at the Capitol City. I
always figure, if you don't know where else to start, start at the
top. So I head for the office of the Prime Minister. A worried
gent named Valdez. Does it bed situations in your nature? An incident this
series could easily be enough to start a landslide that would carry the Fashes into
power in the election. Yeah, that man Borego supposed you tell me a
little about him. Well, it is my secret belief that he had almost
outlived his usefulness to his party, his reputation. That becomes so bad.
But now, of course it is quite different. Now he's a big,
fat martyr. Precisely. One of the newspapers here in the city is controlled
by Borego's party and They, of course, are busy convincing everyone that Borego
is the greatest man who ever lived. Well, I guess that's all I
need to know about Barrego. But what about this murder suspect Hardly where does
he fed? End of the picture? That is the mystifying parts in your
meature. Hardly has lived in his country for several years. He represents a
group of American financial interests. Here what you might call a lobbyist. I
don't suppose you'd have any idea where Hardly has hidings in your valles. Notice
Lightest and your Unfortunately, the fact that he is hiding looks somewhat bad for
him. Come in the great man. They're working tirelessly behind his desk to
lead our country into slavery. Good afternoon, Senior Ortic. I see that
are powerful northern neighbors have lotional time in sending one of their agents down.
Senior Ortigue is editor of one of our newspapers. Senor Mitchell, three guesses
which one? And you visually necessary orders to the so called head of our
government. Senior Steve Mitchell, send your artigue. Your insolence is by now
familiar to me, but I must ask you, if you intend to converse
with us, that you observe the common courtesies. One does not speak with
him a full see you are right you Jesus, Senior Steve Mitchell, being
what they poor ignorant citizen. And I'm not familiar with some of the refinements
of life. Oh brother, but here preveryday two of you will share my
simple full time senior days. No crosses, Senior Mitchell, I go,
and I have plenty in this paper. Baby, one are your what son?
Flower sees sunflowers? See? Jem an excellent nerve, Tannic, I
suspect your nerves could use it. Tannic at presence, Senior admit sure,
Hey, what do I have to be nervous about? I see you are
excellent bluffer, Senior. Look, I'm just down here the seat that this
Hartley guy gets a fair shake. Indeed, what kind of you say?
Fair shake? Do you think a murderer deserves? You know? I must
be behind the times. Last I heard, the trial hadn't been held,
and he partly is not guilty. Why is he hiding? That's a good
question. Or take here's another. Any particular motive for Hartley too kill the
Rigo. But of course I see you have not read my paper today.
I tell all there, suppose you tell all here very well. We haven't
done the best of authority. That hardly went to the leader of our party,
Borego, with a most treacherous proposal. Oh what was it? Simply
that Borego sell our party out to the American imperialist art they resented. Naturally
Borego refused, partly killed him. Sounds real simple here, you tell it.
But there's just one thing wrong with it. Your party isn't in power.
How could Borego as its leader be in a position to make any deals
at the kind you describe? You forget that after next week my party will
be in power. That is to be decided by election artic a foregone conclusion.
You seem pretty sure yourself. I suppose you've already got a job picked
out for yourself in the new model state, Sure, director of maybe most
happy to serve in whatever capacity I can. You better not cut your sunflower
seas before their hats to Artig and you send your better than at count and
accomplishing anything by this tree at least is guilty. You'll be captured sooner or
later. And no amount of this quite washing by you, and what this
party can change that, Artica, I want, that's sure. I will
give the nature of your mission white publicity. Mitch. Oh, look,
I see you do not want publicity. Then I shall be more they lighted
and ever to give it to you, Senior Artic. I am certain we
have nothing more to say to each other. Yep, you are right,
Senior. One days it's time for talk is best. They cannot persuade either
of you to share my son flower seeds. I leave some flower seeds.
Let's see they use those in chicken feed, don't they. What do you
mean by let nothing? Nothing at all? I'll see a later, Artigue.
Indeed, you wait well. An all time showman in the States once
said he didn't care what they wrote about him as long as they spelled his
name right. I guess that goes for me, except I hope they spell
the name of my hotel right too. What I thought you did not want
any publicity? I just let Artic think that, so he'd be sure to
give me plenty. Ah, I understand it is hardly wherever he is should
read in the paper who and where you are. He may try to contact
cats about the size of it. Well, I'll be getting along. The
best of luck to you, Senor Mitchell. But please remember, from this
moment on you are entirely on your own, aren't that note of good cheer?
I leave Valdet's office and start walking along the sidewalk back to my hotel.
It's dark now, and then I noticed a figure walking along the sidewalk
on the other side of the street, parallel to me and a little behind
me. Just a hunch, but I speed up a little bit, so
does he. Then I slowed down. He follows suit. I'm sure he's
following me. Suddenly I turned down a side street. I hear scurrying steps
behind me. Then suddenly ahead of me, I see another figure. It's
a trap and ali opens up to my right. I dive into it.
The slugs rustle my eyebrows. Then it's quiet. I wait a minute,
then ease out of the alley. No one in sight. I turned in
the corner and there's a figure in the doorway. I jump him. Let
two of me just stand stillbuster, I said, let go meet. That's
the same gun you were popping a boy at me with a minute ago.
You'll take it there you have made the misticks sigging Mitchell, I've made a
mistake. But you know my name. Don't give me that I know your
name because I have been following you, That's what I mean. But I
am not one of those who shout at you a moment ago. Oh look,
you expect me to believe that you didn't match all. I do not
feel abregated to prove what I say to you. And yet, if you
will kindly place my gun under your nose and smell of it, you will
see that it has not been fired recently. Well, no, it hasn't.
Look if you didn't take that shot at me? Who did? Two
men were following you. They run off before I could get to this scene.
Who are you? And how come you know my name? I'm Alfred
Goya, chief of Police. Why precisely? And now may I have my
gun back? Why? Yeah? But I still don't see why you were
following me. The warn you, senor Mitchell, I know who you are
and why you are here. Oh you want me to keep hands off?
You could not have stated it more clearly. I guess that sort of tips
me as the which camp you're in You're mistaken against Senior, I am in
neither camp. Then what is your angle in this deal? My angle,
as you call it, is quite simple. Politics is not my business,
but law enforce my is. I have the best police force in South America.
At present. We are engaged in the for a fugit different justice partly
partly I do not intend to let anything or anyone interfere without search, Senor
Mitchell, And by anyone, I mean chiefly you. Well, you've made
yourself pretty clear, Goya. What happens if I sort of getting your way
somewhere along the line. My policemen are quite zealous, Senor Mitchell, and
the penalty for obstructing justice is quite severe. Need I say more? No,
he doesn't have to say anymore. I've got the picture in this deal.
I've got no friends at all. Ortigue and his paper are out to
cut my throat. Baldi's can't lift a finger to help me. And now
Goya tells me that he'd be happy to steamroller me out of his way.
I go back to my hotel. The papers are out by now with a
story about me. So I wait in my room a couple of hours on
the chance that Hartly might contact me. But nothing happens. Finally I give
up and I got down to the bar for a drink. Down at the
other end of the bar, SIT's a dark eyed lovely and at least that's
where she is the first time I look. The next time I look,
she's right beside me. Hallo, I I have been talking to myself.
See, I say to myself, there he is drinking alone. Here am
I drinking alone? But why we don't drink together? Or why don't we?
Indeed, now I ask myself questions, Say you've got something going on
all the time, haven't you? I said the laws? What is this
boy's name? What is the laws? Saying? Oh, you don't get
it, honey, I am delors. Oh really, Steve Mitchell's mind laws.
See, I've thought so good. I had to be sure. I
must talk to you about Jack. Jack? Who's Jack? And how did
he get into the action? Jack Hardley? I am his girl. We
read about you in the paper and knew you were a one chance. I
did not do a telephone your room the police, but be listening in.
So I came here to the bar and waited, hoping it sooner or later
you would get thirsty. Well, for once my thirst stayed off. You
know where Hartly is. Oh see, I've been hiding him in my apartment.
You come quickly up, there's no time to lose. That's the apartment
house up ahead us. See. Hey, what bunch of guys coming out
the front entrance. Yeah, and I've got a guy in the middle of
Jack. That's Hartley video. Oh great, we have to look. Look,
I'm going down at the police headquarters and see if they let me talk
to him the laws. I'll check with you later. I find Doya in
his office with him as the editor. Ortigue smirking happily through a face full
of sunflower seeds. Senor Metel, you're at treep down to our country was
quite in vain. Too bad, too bad? Well, try not to
cry, Ortigue. What is the Jewish? Senor Mitchell? I'd like to
talk to Hartley? Or maybe you'd rather I didn't. I see no reason
why you should not come. I will take you to his self. Okay,
one moment, Senor, take where are you going? M oh do?
I I thought I will go to the cell, which you see no
reason for that, But you have already interviewed the prisoner. I have given
you such facts as I possess, there is no need for you to accompany.
So on your Mitchell here do you say? Go aheah, I'm sorry,
Chu, thanks for getting repulsive off my neck. Go ahead, hardly?
Sellis they want at the end? One thing? Maybe you wouldn't mind
telling me? And what is that? You and your boys did a good
job of finding Hardly and locking him up. Did it ever occur to you
this whole deal might be a frame? Who can say, well, what
if you found out it was, then I should work equally hard to free
Hardly. You intend to do anything about finding out there is this self?
Senor Mitchell, you may have five minutes along with a prisoner. Hello Hardly,
Oh you Steve Mitchell, accomminated from the States. Oh what do you
want? Look, you probably know the deal better than I do. There's
an election coming up here next week. The minority part wants to win.
They also want to discredit the United States, so they take a US citizen
you and rig a frame on you. Frame they charge you with the murder
of their party leader. Berego. Now, if you can just give me
some idea who might be in on it and make sure yeah, you're wasting
your time. What do you mean it's no frame? All right? I
really did kill Beerego. It's the Silver Jubilee on NBC Tomorrow on most NBC
stations, listen for the premier of Pete Kelly's Blues. Pete Kelly he lived
the fast life of a Prohibition musician when Kansas City was the heart that beat,
the temple of the Roaring twenties. His trademark was a Boston three star
cornet. His big year was nineteen twenty two. You'll step into his world
when you hear radio's newest dramatic half, Pete Kelly's Blues, beginning tomorrow on
most NBC stations. Hear it, You'll like it. And now back to
Dangerous Assignment and Brian don Labe, Steve Mitchell, let me have that again.
Hardly hurt me right the first time Mitchell I killed Perego, so they
caught up with me like, I say, you're wasting your time. Why
did you kill him? I wanted to cut Ferego in on a big business
deal his party won the election. I would have meant about two million pacos
to split, but he didn't see it my way In trying to make trouble
for me. Do you mean the story at Ortie Grand in his lousy paper
who was true? Yeah? Oh no, I just can't seem to believe.
Hey, wait a minute, come over here. You know it's a
matter. I want to look at you under the light. Hey, what
are you doing lifting my eyelids? Just want to see something pupils and normal.
Okay, I haven't been drugged, Event's what you mean? Yeah?
Sure, I ought to know hardly. I don't know if you realize what
this killing couldn't mean, A possible split between this country and ours, the
beginning of a new fascist movement. Brother, you couldn't have done a better
job of selling us down the river if you try lay up the sermon.
I got troubles enough about you, okay, Okay, I'll be seeing it
hardly. Yeah, why, that's a good question. If I can think
of an answer, I'll be back. Guard leads me out of hardly selling.
I start down the corridor wondering what I'm gonna do. Then I spot
a little gentle massaging the floor with a broom. I get an idea,
Senor, ascuse me, please under your feet against sweet you work here beneath
or Senor, you're most polite to put it the way you do. What
do you mean I work here? See see for a six months sentence?
Oh, I'm what you call a trusty t Let me wander around with the
broom. Why did you get sent here? Benito? Can you beat this
for making the flowery speech? Flowery speech? Oh you mean political romantic?
See I say like this? I say, oh, Senorita, you are
the most duty for the most wonderful one of all of them? Will you
marry me? You mean they put you in jail for that? How about
that? I don't get it. What's wrong with that? I make the
speech six times each time the Senorita, she say, see, well,
I still don't see what's wrong? Each time? Senuel was a difference,
Senorita, Oh brother, what a glutton for punishment. Hey look, blue
Beard, I need a little information, sure, Senor, that prisoner down
at the end cell you mean hard? What about? Has there been any
rough stuff used on him? You mean they've been pushing him around? Yeah?
No, see, anybody go in that cell with a hypodermic middle.
No, Senior, this is really important, Panito. So I hope you're
sure about it, But I am Senior, I've been right here in the
corridor ever since they bring sen You're hardly in okay, Benito, thanks,
Oh look, Dolores, crying about Hartley is not gonna help. I just
don't see what else I can do. I know, Senior mich you have
been most kind of all you have. It's just I cannot seem to believe
it yet. I guess from the first time, why did he hide?
I kept asking myself, Yeah, I know, Well, I've done a
little checking before coming over here, and I guess in addition to his confession,
they've got a pretty good case against him. He was seeing entering Barrego's
house ten minutes before the killing, and he came out running after the shots
were heard. And it's funny, though, Veniel. Oh, nothing,
just a feeling in a fit of my stomach. Why I do not understand,
wondering if I've overlooked anything, what would it be. It's just that
there's something about this deal. It doesn't quite sit right with me. Oh,
Senior Michi, do you think there is any chance all that he could
be innocent? No? No, right now it looks real doubtful, Delores.
I don't get your hopes up. But I just happen to think one
place I haven't looked for any new leads. Where is that his apartment?
Come on, there is Jack's apartment, Senor Meach. The door on the
right. Okay, maybe I can get the manager to let us in.
And hey, wait a minute, the door is ajar. Well, come
in, Senor Mitchell, come in, my old friend, the chief of
police. A little surprised to see you here. Go aha, may I
ask laim. I thought you had all case and evidence you will need it
against hardly that everything was all set. It isn't possible that you think the
deal could still be a frame? Is it? As I told you before,
I'm interested only in sing justice stump, Senor Mitchell, Oh my god,
Yeah, that's why I came here, see if I could turn up
anything in the way of a lead. But if you've already gone over the
place, I arrived only a moment before you send your I see, but
what is it you are looking for? Seava? There, you've got me
the laws. I don't know. I'm just checking the tables and drawers and
ash trays the rug. But said Mitchell, what did you pick up off
the rug? Go ahead, if you come here along. See has anyone
else been here since Hardly went into hiding, No, Senor. The room
has been kept locked an undergut at my order. Why thanks, where are
you going? See you later? Why did you come back here? I
told you you were wasting your time? Yeah, and you almost had me
convinced. Hardly, I don't get you. It's all beginning to fall into
place. Finally, what are you talking about? It could go together this
way? Hardly. Brego is leader of the Fascist Party, but he's outlived
is usefulness. So why not get rid of them in such a way that
the cause of the party will be further kill two birds with one stone.
I don't know what this is all about, but you've just let me finish.
So what the party needs is a fall guy. You me get out
of here. Mitchell, you're not making sense. Oh you killed Arego?
The party gets you off the hook. Barrego is the only one of those
guys I know. They's had nothing to do with Look at this, Hardly,
what is it? Little gray and white husk or something. It's the
shell of a sunflower seed, and I found it in your apartment of sunflower
See. Yeah, you know someone who's always stuffing them into his big fat
face, and so do I Ortigue, the editor of the fascist newspaper.
Look, Mitchell, know how that adds up to me? Ortigue was in
your apartment cooking up this whole deal with you. You take the rap for
them and they get your wharf? Was that at No, you're a real
keen patriotic kid. Hardly get out of Okay I will, but first just
let me leave a cheerful little thought with you. Yeah, what is it?
You think you've been pretty smart in this deal, but actually you're the
world's prize sucker. Yeah, okay, you've said just saying I'll get an
execution in this country is by firing squad, isn't it? What did Artigue
tell you that he had connections would make sure there are blank cartridges and the
gun. Shut up and get out of here. You know, from the
look on your face, I'd say that was the gag? All right,
blank cartridges in the firing squad. Gun you through? Now sure I'm leaving
and there's something to remember me by. You really think your beloved party boys
want somebody left alive who knows as much about the deal as you do.
What do you mean by that you really think those are gonna be blank cartridges
mature So long, Hartly, I leave him looking very thoughtful and slightly scared.
I don't know how much of the deal I've got figured out right,
but from his reactions I've hit the main points on the nose. I also
don't know how much of a dent I've made in him, but I do
know this is my only chance. I give him a couple of hours to
think things over, and then I honestly suggested Dolores that she pay him a
visit to cheer him up. I wait outside the jail, and pretty soon
she comes out in a hurry. I follow her to a hotel and catch
up with it just as she's entering the lobby. Just a minute, Dolores,
Oh, Stephen, com one, let's have it. What come on?
Come on, quit stalling. But I don't know what you are talking
about. I arranged for you to pay a visit the Hartley in his cell
so he'd have a chance to give it to you a confession, Steve,
I don't understand. Look, Hartley is now afraid the boys are going to
sell him out, So what's the logical thing for him to do? Write
a confession of the whole deal and smuggle it out of the jail. That's
insurance for him. He gave me no such documentary. You want to help
him, don't you. You know I do, But I'm telling you the
truth. He gave me no such document Swarren, he would have. Don't
tell me. I've figured this whole deal wrong. And what is the matter,
Steve, Ah, skip it, I'll see you around. What stopped
me? All of a sudden there's a guy outside on the sidewalk, beckoning
to me through the lobby window. I go out and follow him into the
alley. It's Benita, the little jail trusty with a broom. Only right
now, instead of a broom, he's holding a piece of paper. Yeah
this is for you signor Hardly asked me to deliver. I was able to
get a ride on the laundry truck. Hardly say it's very important, goodbye,
got gone. Benito melts away into the shadows by the flame from my
cigarette light. I read the letter, and all of a sudden everything falls
in the place, But too late, because right then something else falls in
the place too, A gun barrel in my ribs. Such a nasty letter.
Steven. Well, you know the old saying dolores eavesdroppers always hear ill
of themselves. I guess that also applies to reading letters over other people's shoulders.
Fortunate for me that only you have read the letters, Stephen. It
sure is. It says that you kill Beerego and sugared hardly under taking the
rap telling him he'd be taken care of. He would have been too sure
by the firing squad with real bullets that shuts his mouth. Your party has
rid of Therego and rides in the power on a wave of anti us feeling.
You analyze our plan very well. Now I must thank you for mentioning
the possibility of hardly writing such a letter as this, Steven. Otherwise I
might not have known about it. But when I saw the little man beckoning
to you through the window, I've followed. Yeah, you can chalk that
bloomer up to me, all right? When I sent you to sea hardly,
I figured he'd give you the letter, but naturally he wouldn't. Well,
all of that does not matter now I'm afraid it must be goodbye for
you. Just a minute, the larson, What is the sense, Steve?
You can't get away with this, you know. No, And why
not that little guy who brought me this letter? What about him? He
left? No, No, that's where you're wrong. He's still around in
the shadows right near here. Even really, you can do better than that.
There is really a policeman, special police, when a Goya's man.
Really. We rigged that act in the lobby window to draw you out here
in the alley. We figured you might start shooting in the hotel and somebody
get hurt. You have quite an imagination, Steve, on that right hand
of yours. I see you bringing it up slowly, stopping better, dropped
the gun the lares Like I tell you, Bernato is standing right over there
in the shadows, and he's got you covered. The oldest bluff in the
world. He is there. Thanks for turning your head, baby, So
I'll take the gun. Thanks. You'll tricked me? Yeah, yeah,
so I did, as it turned out. But believe me, it was
as big a surprise to me as it was that you you were just bluffing.
I sure was, Yeah, thanks to a big assist from you.
You'll be interested in knowing that I just passed you off as one of goya
As special police indeed, that makes you a quick thinker. Yeah. I
told the Laura as you rigged that act in the lobby, when to draw
her outside so nobody would get hurt. See very quick thinker. Also slay
psyche psychic. See that is why I look her outside. Wait a minute,
who are you? You just said it when I'm Goya's special police.
Now I've seen everything you see Goya, like yourself suspected a frame. I
was stationed at the jail when Hartley Losey's nerve and wrote the confession. We
know that we are right, but we needed to catch us. And you
read also, and now we have Cotta. It looks like go Ahead deserves
a lot more credit than I gave him. He's a good man who incidentally
think the same thing about you. Oh he's interested in knowing what glue put
you on the right back. Sunflower Seed and Hartley's apartment. See that connected
Hartley and Ortigue. Yeah that's sunflower Seed sort of ruined Artigue in his plan,
which is quite fretting. He's a pretty seedy character anyway. Dangerous Assignment
starring Brian don Levy as Steve Mitchell with Hert Butterfield as the Commissioner is written
by Bob Ryfe and Adrian John Doe, with music by Robert arm Brewster,
and is produced and directed by Bill Karne. Others in the cast were Bill
Conrad, Betty lou Gerson, Tony Barrett, Paul Freeze, and Bill Johnstone.
Be with us again next week at this time when Brian Don Leavey,
starring in the role of Steve Mitchell, will embark on another dangerous assignment.
It's the Silver Jubilee on NBC Welcome Back. This was a good episode with
an interesting solution. There were several solutions that to me seemed kind of obvious,
and they didn't go with any of them, and I was pleasantly surprised.
Steve Mitchell, on the other hand, was not quite so pleasantly surprised
based on the big plot twist, but lives another day thanks to the quick
thinking of the local police. Again not what you would typically expect, but
I like them changing it up a bit now. I will say that Steve's
statement that it's hot in South America that time of year is a really big
generalization since a large part of South America is below the equator. However,
I guess it would be hard to call him out on it if the commissioner
said, well, Steve, actually, for the parts of South America that
are below the equator, it is technically winter, and so in Argentina it's
actually the start of the coldest month of the year. And Steve was say,
are you sending me to Argentina. No, I'm sending you to this
unnamed country. But my point is that if it was Argentina, it would
be very temperate, with highs in the fifties. And with that note,
we turned a lesson our comments and feedback, and we have a comment on
our four thousand, one hundred and fiftieth episodes special Fragile Content's Death and over
on YouTube Lessen our Riots. What triggered me in the story was when they
destroyed the Little Boys Watch. As someone who ordered from finger Hut and Service
merchandise as a kid, I counted the days until I got that package,
and if it didn't show up on time, I would bug that mailman until
he looked into it. Well, thanks so much for the comment. I
can definitely see that I didn't order stuff often by mail, in part because
we moved around so much when I was a kid. Until after my eleventh
birthday, but it would definitely be upsetting if he ordered something special and it
got destroyed by the post office, even with appropriate reimbursement. So many folks
don't know how easy they have it with all the two days shipping and such
that's offered these days. Well, now it's time to thank our Patreon supporter

Wednesday with another episode of Dangerous Assignment, But join us back here tomorrow for
Mister Chameleon, where this is strateful thing, I'm good a weapon if it
is If I'm going mad. This is bad. Your sister Rose was found
in this room stab to death with a paper knight. You were the only
person in the room with them, and you admit that paper knight is yours.
Yes, but if I killed Rose, I didn't know I was doing
it. I have done it in a dream and in a nightmare. That
might be very difficult to prove, Missus Blake. Mister Chamillion, you must
help me. I intend to if you're an innocent, But my job is
to find the murderer, whoever it is. And if I'm guilty, if
I killed my own sister, I want to be convicted. Tell me something.
Did you and your sister live alone in this house except for Tompkins your
my plan. Yes, we lived here alone. That is after my husband
and my son, Roddy, they were killed in an automobile accident. Yes,
two years ago. But as I told you, Roddy has come back
to me lately, back from the dead. I heard his voice right here
in this room. Did your sister hear it too. If she did,
she wouldn't have told me, mister Chamillion. Rose didn't usually sleep in this
room with me, but she she was worried about me, and that's why
she was here tonight. She had reason to be worried. What is the
name of the man that you've been consulting. What this man who makes you
think that you're hitting your son's voice? What's his name? I can't remember.
I only went there once. God remember his name. I hope you'll
be with us then. In the meantime, do send your comments to Box
