00:00:28,559 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Great Detectives of Old Time Radio from Boise, Idaho.

2
00:00:35,439 --> 00:00:38,479
This is your host, Adam Graham. In a moment, we're

3
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,320
going to bring you our second Listener Support and Appreciation special.

4
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,159

last two dollars per month by going to patreont Great

9
00:01:04,079 --> 00:01:07,799
Detectives dot nit. Well, we're bringing you something a bit

10
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:12,920
different today. In years past, we brought you twice Told Tales,

11
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,239
where we take a look at one version of a

12
00:01:16,359 --> 00:01:20,560
radio script and how it was reused on another. This

13
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:25,519
is different. I could, I suppose call it four times

14
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,280
told Tale, but don't let that scare you or put

15
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,879
you off. And I know some people might think hearing

16
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,200
the same exact story four times in a row doesn't

17
00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:41,879
sound very interesting. I think I'll skip to the next episode. Well,

18
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,799
let me explain a little. This is actually going to

19
00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:50,439
be a look at a yours truly Johnny Dollar serial

20
00:01:50,959 --> 00:01:56,079
that was written by E. Jack Newman under the pseudonym

21
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,519
John Dawson. What makes Johnstones Yours Truly Johny Dollar cereals

22
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,719
interesting is that they are rarely a case of take

23
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,439
one script, pad it out, and there you go. Plus

24
00:02:11,479 --> 00:02:15,479
Crossfield did a few scripts that were like that, but

25
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,599
E Jack Newman tended to take elements and ideas from

26
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:25,680
different scripts and combine them into the Johnny Dollar Cereal.

27
00:02:26,159 --> 00:02:29,240
In addition, you'll get to hear how different actors and

28
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:35,520
creative teams handled these particular stories. So we're going to

29
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,759
be bringing you Jeff Reagan, not beat Yours Truly Johnny

30
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,479
Dollar with John Lund and then the Yours Truly Johnny

31
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:49,240
Dollar Cereal with Bob Bailey. So now from October twelfth,

32
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,319
nineteen forty nine, here is Man in the Church.

33
00:03:04,439 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: My name's Reagan. I worked for Anthony J. Lyon International

34
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:20,840
Detective Bureau. They call me the Lion's Eye.

35
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 3: Jeff Reagan, Investigator, starring Frank Graham as Reagan, with Frank

36
00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:23,840
Nelson as Anthony J.

37
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 4: Lyon.

38
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 3: So stand by for mystery and suspense and adventure. In

39
00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:31,280
tonight's story of the Man in the Church.

40
00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: You'll find the Cosmopolitan Building on Seventh Street near Olive,

41
00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:47,159
A pile of Mike granite holding up a brass clock

42
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,639
that hasn't kept time since nineteen thirty two.

43
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 5: That's the Anthony J. Lyon.

44
00:03:52,199 --> 00:03:54,039
Speaker 2: The guy I worked for took out a thirty year

45
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,319
lease on sweet three year eight. You can't miss it.

46
00:03:57,639 --> 00:04:00,639
Right after you get off the elevator. International detect Bureau,

47
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,199
Good bargain counter if you want to buy your trouble wholesale.

48
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,199
Right after the se game last Saturday, I walked in.

49
00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:11,919
The lion was at his desk. He had a sparkle

50
00:04:11,919 --> 00:04:13,919
in one eye and a jeweler's glass in the other.

51
00:04:15,039 --> 00:04:16,480
And even though he tried to cover up, I can

52
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,199
tell he was looking at a fifty dollars bill.

53
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 6: Oh oh, oh you, Reagan.

54
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 7: I I was just noticing the engrieving on this veil, intricate,

55
00:04:26,959 --> 00:04:28,240
fascinating work of art.

56
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 5: Really Grant took a good picture.

57
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 7: Yeah it didn't, he though, ULYSSI Simpson. Grant was one

58
00:04:33,639 --> 00:04:34,959
of our greatest presidents, Reagan.

59
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 5: So you're starting a collection.

60
00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 6: I've already started one. This is my first showing.

61
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 5: All right, who's the new client?

62
00:04:41,879 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 8: Eh?

63
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,079
Speaker 6: Client? Oh?

64
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,879
Speaker 7: I didn't get this from a client really, rather an

65
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,560
old Friday. It just a little errand yes, I called

66
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,240
you in because I want you to do a favor

67
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:52,800
for a friend.

68
00:04:52,879 --> 00:04:54,439
Speaker 2: Last time we did a favor for a friend, he

69
00:04:54,519 --> 00:04:55,839
turned out to have a record as long as a

70
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:56,839
rolled up kite string.

71
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 7: Oh, Pincole's not like that, not at all. Yes, Charles

72
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,279
Pencoll our my friend. He he wants a bonded licensed

73
00:05:05,319 --> 00:05:08,279
operator at his place at six o'clock tonight, Capitol Hotel

74
00:05:08,319 --> 00:05:09,160
on Elisha Street.

75
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,439
Speaker 2: And just what does Charles Pencoll Capitol Hotel, Aliso Street

76
00:05:12,439 --> 00:05:15,160
want this bonded license operator to do at six o'clock?

77
00:05:15,439 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 6: Now see here, Jeffrey, there's no need to take that attitude.

78
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,399
Speaker 7: Old Pencoll wants is someone to deliver a cash amount

79
00:05:21,439 --> 00:05:22,519
of five thousand bucks.

80
00:05:22,519 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 2: You took another job without asking any questions, didn't you?

81
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:25,759
Speaker 6: What do you mean to ask question?

82
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,199
Speaker 2: When a man who lives in a two bit hotel

83
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,600
on Aliso Street needs a license operator to deliver five

84
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,240
thousand bucks, there's questions to be asked.

85
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 6: Well, I asked question.

86
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 5: I don't give me some answer, all right?

87
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 6: All right?

88
00:05:35,079 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 7: Oh I lied to you a little about his being

89
00:05:37,079 --> 00:05:40,399
an old friend. He isn't that really, But the man

90
00:05:40,519 --> 00:05:45,240
asked for help. I couldn't turn him down. He touched

91
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,800
me in some way, Jeffrey. Here there was a look

92
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:53,680
about him. Jaf saul a fifty dollars. I tell you,

93
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,319
mister Pencoll was a distress. So when he came in

94
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,399
to see me, if you could have seen him so disturbed,

95
00:05:59,439 --> 00:06:02,680
so help bliss. It was our opportunity to help a

96
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:03,959
brother in distress.

97
00:06:04,399 --> 00:06:06,879
Speaker 6: Choros. Pen Coal is our brother. Rica.

98
00:06:06,959 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 5: Come on, answers, start talking.

99
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,759
Speaker 6: All right, all right, I'll tell you what I can.

100
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,600
Ben Cole has a problem, but it's in strictest confidence.

101
00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 7: I told him i'd give him my best operator you, Jeffrey,

102
00:06:17,879 --> 00:06:21,000
but I had to swear I wouldn't divulge details, even

103
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:21,319
to you.

104
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 6: But I promise it's nothing illegal, just a simple little job.

105
00:06:25,639 --> 00:06:26,839
My word, Jeffrey.

106
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,759
Speaker 5: If you're lying to me again, I'm not.

107
00:06:28,959 --> 00:06:31,199
Speaker 7: Go see this man, Jeffrey, take one look at it.

108
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:35,199
You'll see I'm telling the truth. I told him you'd

109
00:06:35,199 --> 00:06:37,879
be there. The reputation of the agencies at State.

110
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 5: It took fifty buck, yes, I took his fifty And

111
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:40,600
we're on the hook.

112
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 6: Yes, we're on the hook.

113
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, fat So I'll see him, just see him,

114
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,800
but you stay right here, stay here. What because if

115
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,480
this ball has a curve on it, I'm coming back

116
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:58,439
here around that fifty dollars right down your throat. Well,

117
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,279
the lion and put on a good act, and I

118
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:03,759
went for it again. Maybe it was because I figured

119
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,079
he lied so much he'd accidentally have to tell the

120
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,160
truth once in a while. Or maybe it was because

121
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,920
he looked different when he was describing Charlie Pencoll. Anyhow,

122
00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:16,000
it was dark on Alisa Street and it was trying

123
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:17,920
to rain when I found a white blister over the

124
00:07:17,959 --> 00:07:21,439
sidewalk that blinked up Capitol Hotel rooms one dollar anough.

125
00:07:22,879 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 5: I walked through a.

126
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: Lobby that smelled like last year's laundry. Nobody was behind

127
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,079
the desk, but I spun the register around and picked

128
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,279
up a Charles A pen Call in room age. It

129
00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:35,639
was upstairs, in between a broom closet and a fire.

130
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 5: Escape, but I didn't have to knock.

131
00:07:38,839 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: A tall, big man with a lot of gray hair

132
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,600
had the shorter one by the lapels.

133
00:07:43,319 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 9: Don't think it's well you went out of touch, yeh, Johnny,

134
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:46,800
I've been out of touch, but I don't know how

135
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:47,879
to handle a punk like you.

136
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 10: Now.

137
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,639
Speaker 9: Listen to me, get in my way once acond and

138
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:51,519
I'll break you in half.

139
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,519
Speaker 11: Oh, come one and your kid, all right, big shut out,

140
00:07:56,519 --> 00:07:57,279
don't try a gun.

141
00:07:57,279 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 5: You crossed the heater buster, I should drop.

142
00:08:05,399 --> 00:08:06,319
Speaker 12: Got a lot of friends.

143
00:08:06,399 --> 00:08:09,439
Speaker 13: Jolly, you always show up just in time.

144
00:08:10,839 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 14: I remember you too, mister.

145
00:08:13,519 --> 00:08:16,639
Speaker 6: I remember you got out of here, go on, get out.

146
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,399
I remember this, I remember all of this.

147
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 9: You're a pretty good social what's your name? Oh yeah,

148
00:08:25,639 --> 00:08:29,680
some thanks, thanks, Reagan? How to use that thing?

149
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 15: You know?

150
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: We try to keep our clients alive until we've earned

151
00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:36,080
our fees. I'm from International, and if you're Charlie Pincall,

152
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,720
you're a client until fifty bucks.

153
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 5: Is used up.

154
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, sure, sure, come on in, Regan, make yourself

155
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,960
at home. Isn't much wire bedding the neon sign outside.

156
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,759
I've had better, Reagan. Yeah, hey, you want to drink?

157
00:08:49,279 --> 00:08:49,639
Speaker 5: Why not?

158
00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 9: Probably got a lot of questions to ask, Gregan. I'll

159
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:58,000
answer him fast. Yeah here, yeah, don't you start with

160
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,000
the punk Johnny Lago. Okay, he hasn't got anything to

161
00:09:01,039 --> 00:09:02,679
do with you and me. He's a separate fuse.

162
00:09:02,759 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 2: Sure he's used that thirty eight before you know. I've

163
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,279
seen him in the mug files.

164
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 9: I can handle him. I want you to handle something else.

165
00:09:14,159 --> 00:09:15,080
What's a look for it.

166
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,559
Speaker 5: I've seen that kind of sup before the ten bucks coming.

167
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 16: Yeah, just got out.

168
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 9: Of sad Quentin that eighteen years. It's sober time served.

169
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,480
It shows, Hey, you don't do that much vacation standing

170
00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:31,159
on your ear rig and it's hard to get any

171
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,200
exercise in that ten by eight room. And the nights too.

172
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,080
There always a couple of million years long. You got

173
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,759
somebody to worry about. Somebody like logo, No, no, I

174
00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:42,440
tell you he's nothing.

175
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:43,159
Speaker 16: I was in twenty nine.

176
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 9: He was a truck driver who had big ideas. He

177
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,200
still got him, but he's got nothing to back him

178
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:47,440
up with.

179
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 5: All right, you got somebody else to worry about.

180
00:09:50,039 --> 00:09:54,279
Speaker 9: Yeah, guy's name is Sydney Chambers. Owe him some money.

181
00:09:54,519 --> 00:09:55,639
Speaker 5: You sure you want a detective.

182
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 9: I can pay Chambers, but I can't see him. I'm

183
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,399
going to be busy. You're bonded. I can trust you

184
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:02,000
to carry.

185
00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:03,159
Speaker 5: Them on messenger. Boys are bonded.

186
00:10:03,159 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 9: Simple job, Reagan. That's why I'd only pay the lion

187
00:10:05,799 --> 00:10:09,399
fifty bucks to have it done here. Yeah, five thousand,

188
00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:10,799
right go ahead, count it.

189
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,759
Speaker 5: I'll take your word. Where do I find your man.

190
00:10:14,159 --> 00:10:16,399
Speaker 9: Sydney Chambers will be at the planetarium in front of

191
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,120
the entrance. He will be in a black suit, wearing

192
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,200
a white carnation, the briefcase.

193
00:10:19,759 --> 00:10:21,759
Speaker 2: And just like that, I walk up and hand him

194
00:10:21,759 --> 00:10:24,120
five grand, just like that. How do you know I

195
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,279
won't feel like taking a trip?

196
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,879
Speaker 9: I don't, But then I still haven't got anything to

197
00:10:31,919 --> 00:10:34,159
worry about. You got that much money, No Reagan, I

198
00:10:34,159 --> 00:10:37,679
got me and Charlie Penkell never let anybody put anything

199
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:38,240
over on him?

200
00:10:38,279 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 5: What about the state of California? Was a bomber? Oh sure,

201
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,600
it was good night.

202
00:10:50,799 --> 00:10:53,399
Speaker 2: I left him sitting there. He looked as happy as

203
00:10:53,399 --> 00:10:57,080
a ubangi with a fever blister. Maybe the lion was

204
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,840
telling the truth. So I put the five ground in

205
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,799
my pocket, but it felt hot, like a dynamite stick

206
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,000
with a short fuse. It was ten minutes awake. When

207
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,480
I parked in front of the planetarium. A little guy

208
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,200
in a black super is standing at the entrance looking

209
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,519
at his watch. I was afraid he was going to

210
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:21,399
get trampled, but the briefcase and white carnations saved him.

211
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 5: Gonna lecture, it's all about a trip to the moon tonight.

212
00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:27,279
Speaker 13: Oh, is it? Well, I don't think i'll go in.

213
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:28,279
I'm expecting a friend.

214
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 5: And then Charlie Pencoll, what pen Call? You're going to

215
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:32,279
meet him here?

216
00:11:33,279 --> 00:11:35,799
Speaker 13: Yes, but you can't be pen called.

217
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,759
Speaker 5: You're much too young, right, I'm not pen call.

218
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 13: I don't understand. And mister Reagan, oh pen Call, promised

219
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,399
me faithfully he'd meet me.

220
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 5: Here tonight, Clarence, didn't you name?

221
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,799
Speaker 13: No, I'm Sydney Chambers.

222
00:11:49,799 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 5: But you got the briefcase to collect some money in?

223
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 13: Did you bring it? Did you really bring how much?

224
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,240
Expecting five thousand dollars not a penny less?

225
00:11:59,759 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 17: Yeah?

226
00:12:00,279 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 13: Well, well say now it certainly?

227
00:12:05,039 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 18: Is it?

228
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,799
Speaker 13: Certainly? Is it? Most certainly? Is gay? Yes, indeed, thank you,

229
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:10,399
mister Reagan.

230
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 2: If I hadn't seen him Patty's bullish pocket, I'd have

231
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,639
gone on home and played canast with my landlady. But

232
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,240
when I saw him drive away, I began to get

233
00:12:21,279 --> 00:12:24,960
a slow feeling like all my troubles were already started.

234
00:12:26,279 --> 00:12:28,080
So I crawled at my car and followed him. I

235
00:12:28,159 --> 00:12:30,080
was still following when he pulled up in Pollo's Verotie

236
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,720
and parked in front of a little house stuck up

237
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:32,120
on a hill.

238
00:12:32,159 --> 00:12:32,919
Speaker 4: All by itself.

239
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 2: I had that same feeling when I cut my engine

240
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,399
coast into a stop and sat there thinking about nothing.

241
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,600
I watched a light go on somewhere in the back

242
00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:45,600
of the house. I was just putting my cigarette out

243
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:46,759
when the place led up like I cut.

244
00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:50,279
Speaker 19: I pulled my can and started for the door, but

245
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,080
I wasn't fast enough to stop that black hook that

246
00:12:52,159 --> 00:13:01,759
was in the alley.

247
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 2: I found Chambers wrapped around the dining room table. He

248
00:13:06,399 --> 00:13:09,159
was holding onto that briefcase, and the five grand was

249
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,559
still there, but he'd never get a chance to spend it.

250
00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:14,720
He was all used up.

251
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 8: Anthony J.

252
00:13:22,159 --> 00:13:24,919
Speaker 5: Lyons, you better have something good to say. Fat So, Reagan,

253
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:25,440
who you've been?

254
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 8: I've been looking all over.

255
00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 5: You know what I've been.

256
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,799
Speaker 20: I called the Capitol Hotel, but no when I actually listened, Reagan,

257
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,159
I don't want you to take this job.

258
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 2: I took it three hours ago, and now I need

259
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,159
those answers you told me pen Call had filled in

260
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,039
on the background of this thing.

261
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 5: Well, it's time you shared secrets with.

262
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:38,039
Speaker 6: Me, Reagan.

263
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,879
Speaker 5: I can't tell you you need better.

264
00:13:40,279 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 8: But I didn't get anything from me, Reagan.

265
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 20: I I made up ched up about a personal problem

266
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:46,360
just to get you to take.

267
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 5: The job, all for fifty bucks.

268
00:13:47,639 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 8: There's no time for that.

269
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,279
Speaker 5: Now you said it, you left.

270
00:13:50,279 --> 00:13:52,759
Speaker 8: I got worried, so I looked up pen Call. He's

271
00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:54,639
really good time, Charlie pin Call.

272
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 2: An old time racketeer, and he just got out of

273
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,120
Sam Quentin and somebody's already dead.

274
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 5: I got this.

275
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 2: I'm calling you from my house in Palace Verdes. It

276
00:14:02,279 --> 00:14:04,759
belongs to a little guy named Sydney Chambers. I made

277
00:14:04,759 --> 00:14:06,679
the delivery and decided to follow him home. Just as

278
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,080
I got here, somebody blew his fuse.

279
00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 8: What happened to the five thousand?

280
00:14:09,519 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 5: The killer steel it?

281
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 6: It's still here, still there? Good?

282
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 5: I thought that'd good action.

283
00:14:13,879 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 20: Hold on to it, get a national look, keep it

284
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:21,840
safely until the police go ahead. Achegate, Hello, you're still there.

285
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 2: I was still there, but I wasn't listening to the lion.

286
00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:28,559
I was looking at the traffic cops standing in the doorway.

287
00:14:29,279 --> 00:14:30,960
He was looking at what was left of Chambers. Had

288
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,480
the money spread all around, and then it's me. I'd

289
00:14:34,559 --> 00:14:36,960
go to feel helpless, like a fiddler without a chin.

290
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,320
I'll take your gun, go ahead, finish your call. I

291
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:46,320
won't listen to it. Isn't important dead Huh You got

292
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:55,440
any to say, mister, huh m hmm, nice gun yours? Yeah,

293
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,159
it's my gun, but yeah, yeah.

294
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:02,159
Speaker 21: Yeah, sure m hmm, just been fired.

295
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 22: Those bullets won't match up with the ones in him.

296
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:11,919
You got this all wrong. Money too well, well, weapon motive.

297
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,600
I've been playing closer this time tomorrow. Look the guy

298
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,039
who did it's making time right now.

299
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 21: You'll be surprised the kind of drivers we have around

300
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,919
Los Angeles. I'm working Palace Verdi's. I stop a minute,

301
00:15:23,039 --> 00:15:26,200
I hear noises, white guns, and I just cruise around

302
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,000
on my bike where I think I hear the noise

303
00:15:28,679 --> 00:15:29,519
and I find you.

304
00:15:31,039 --> 00:15:33,919
Speaker 5: All right, killer, move my turn to make a call.

305
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:35,360
I leaned into his guns.

306
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:36,639
Speaker 23: I'm not just missed down.

307
00:15:37,639 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 5: The bullets went wild, and I hit the light switch

308
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:41,919
that give me time enough to get through the door.

309
00:15:42,799 --> 00:15:44,080
He lost me when I ran up the hill in

310
00:15:44,159 --> 00:15:45,480
back of the house, toward the oil there.

311
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,399
Speaker 2: Extent that I knew we'd keep out on looking, and

312
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:59,120
so would every cop in Los Angeles. I had as

313
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,360
much chance as a no ball in a Turkish bath.

314
00:16:01,799 --> 00:16:04,799
None of it made sense. I delivered pencoes five grand

315
00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:06,879
of a little guy named Sidney Chambers, and before I

316
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,919
knew it, a question mark in a black coop blew

317
00:16:08,919 --> 00:16:12,600
out Chamber's life. But he left that five grand scattered

318
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,240
all over the place, and an eager cop who likes

319
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,720
up or breasted suits tagged me for the job. When

320
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,320
I broke away from that cop, I knew I'd have

321
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,240
to get some answers. I made my way back downtown

322
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,759
and dropped into the Capitol Hotel, any key fitted room age.

323
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,200
It was as clean as a bookie's stall when a

324
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:37,240
long shot comes in. No Charlie Pencoll Nothing, the newspaper

325
00:16:37,279 --> 00:16:39,200
clipping on the dresser with an ad on how to

326
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,360
handle your muscles on one side and part of a

327
00:16:41,399 --> 00:16:42,480
society column on the other.

328
00:16:42,559 --> 00:16:46,279
Speaker 5: Men. Nothing but the knock on the door had possibilities.

329
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:47,639
Speaker 24: Oh are you in there?

330
00:16:47,879 --> 00:16:48,519
Speaker 6: Are you asleep?

331
00:16:49,559 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 25: Oh?

332
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 5: She was a tall, gray haired woman in a fur coat.

333
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,159
She didn't look like Penco's kind of company.

00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,879
Speaker 26: Oh, I'm so sorry.

00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 5: It was almost morning when I started to come around.

354
00:18:29,319 --> 00:18:30,440
I was still in room. Mate.

355
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 2: Some cold water and I tripped to the drug store

356
00:18:33,279 --> 00:18:35,559
didn't make me feel any better. I had some answers

357
00:18:35,559 --> 00:18:39,119
to find. The morning papers were full of the brutal

358
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,880
murder of city employee Sidney Chamber.

359
00:18:42,079 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 5: He ran out to tell how he worked in the.

360
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,039
Speaker 2: Hall of Records. My name was in the article. They'd

361
00:18:47,039 --> 00:18:50,559
matched the bullets and my gun didn't figure. But homicide

362
00:18:50,559 --> 00:18:52,160
had wanted some answers, and I didn't have any to

363
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,200
give them. I started with that clipping I'd found in

364
00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:00,640
Pencole's room. It wasn't much, but it had names, something

00:19:16,839 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 5: My name's Reagan. I'd like to see Meredith Gibbons.

381
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 27: Private investigator.

Speaker 5: I found this clipping about your marriage in Pencoll's room.

402
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:55,759
Speaker 27: That's funny, truly, mister Reagan. I never heard the name Donald.

403
00:20:56,279 --> 00:20:57,279
Speaker 24: You have so many things.

404
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 27: Oh, mother, I want you to meet mister Reagan. He's

405
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,000
a detective. This is my mother.

406
00:21:03,559 --> 00:21:04,759
Speaker 13: How do you do, mister Reagan.

407
00:21:05,559 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 5: It was the same gray haired woman i'd met the

408
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,599
night before in Charlie's room.

409
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 29: Had the handed to her. She didn't raise an eyelash.

410
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,279
She looked right through me like she was meeting me

411
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,440
for the first time. I didn't give her away. There

412
00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:19,960
was something in her eyes and said.

413
00:21:20,319 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 28: Don't mister Reagan, I know you'll excuse us. We have

414
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,640
so many things to do. Well, perhaps mother can help you. Sure,

415
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,039
I hope you find your man, mister Reagan.

416
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,279
Speaker 5: They looked like a real nice Pyramissus Giddon.

417
00:21:33,599 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 24: They are wonderful children, mister Reagan, wonderful.

418
00:21:37,559 --> 00:21:40,319
Speaker 5: You know what I have to ask her? Yes, yes,

419
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,200
I know man's been killed.

420
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 30: Sit down, mister Reagan. Please thanks that.

421
00:21:46,839 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 24: Lovely girl who just walked out of the doors. Charles

422
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:55,519
Pencall's daughter. Oh, yes, Charles married my younger sister in

423
00:21:55,559 --> 00:21:58,920
nineteen twenty nine. She never knew what Charles did for

424
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,960
a living. She was in the hospital mister Hyden's dying.

425
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:08,640
Charles was in court when his sentence was pronounced. His

426
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,119
His daughter was born at a hospital in Glendale that'd

427
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:18,400
before Charles began his life's sentence. He he took what

428
00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:21,880
money he had left and established an irrevocable trust fund

429
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,240
for her and for me. It was his plan I

430
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,680
adopted illegally. He promised that he'd never write a bother

431
00:22:28,759 --> 00:22:32,599
in any way, and he hasn't. Oh, after so much

432
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,279
heartache for her real mother, he was trying to do

433
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:36,519
one decent thing.

434
00:22:36,839 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 12: It worked, Yes, if he kept his word.

435
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 26: He was parole last week.

436
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 24: I read it in the papers.

437
00:22:43,279 --> 00:22:44,799
Speaker 5: And you want to see him at his hotel? I

438
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:45,200
mentioned that.

439
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:45,599
Speaker 15: Yeah.

440
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 24: As I went to see him last night, the parole

441
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:48,839
officer gave.

442
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:49,319
Speaker 31: Me his address.

443
00:22:50,279 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 24: A little man had been here last week on some

444
00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:55,839
pretext for another, and I was worried. I I thought

445
00:22:55,839 --> 00:22:58,119
he was a friend of Charles who might want to

446
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:58,759
make trouble.

447
00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 32: Nobody else knows about the no, no, no one, no

448
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,599
one at all, just just Charles and I my sister.

449
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 24: She had the baby under my name.

450
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 17: I see.

451
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 24: I read the morning papers. The little man, the one

452
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,759
who called on me last week and active strange labors

453
00:23:18,519 --> 00:23:22,799
murdered last night. His name was Chambers. I read about

454
00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:25,880
it in the paper. That's right, and the police are

455
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:31,319
looking for you, mister Reagan. Oh pza. I can't ask

456
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,400
you to continue being a fugitive. I know you didn't

457
00:23:34,519 --> 00:23:37,559
kill him, but if there's any way anyway all.

458
00:23:37,519 --> 00:23:39,559
Speaker 33: Mister Reagan, oh, listen to me.

459
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,759
Speaker 24: Meredith can't become involved in something like this.

460
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,039
Speaker 5: That's the only way to keep her out of it.

461
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,880
Missus Gibbons, I'll do it.

462
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 27: Oh, thank you, thank you.

463
00:23:54,799 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 2: When I left there, I had a pretty good picture

464
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,279
of the whole thing. A check with the Civil Service

465
00:23:59,279 --> 00:24:01,599
Commission did the right as far as Chambers Pipe fitted in.

466
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,359
Besides working at the Hall of Records from nineteen thirty

467
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,039
two on, he worked at the City Morgue before and

468
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,640
before that the County Hospital was an orderly and before

469
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:16,599
that a private hospital in Glendale. But that still left

470
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,680
Johnny Largo on stage. The lion had part of it.

471
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,160
When I found him at the office, Reagan, would you expect.

472
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 6: Never mind anybody see you. You're a hot boy?

473
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,319
Speaker 5: You know how I got that way?

474
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 6: I know, I know, But those things will happen. It

475
00:24:28,559 --> 00:24:29,319
is it? Pipe Gray.

476
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 2: A cop on the palace. Verdie's Division is looking at it. Huh,

477
00:24:32,039 --> 00:24:33,599
don't you read the papers. They're looking for me.

478
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 5: They want to talk to me about a murder.

479
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,079
Speaker 6: Oh and I wanted to see how that much money

480
00:24:38,079 --> 00:24:38,799
looked all at once.

481
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 2: What have you been telling homicide that I don't know

482
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,279
anything about it? Well, maybe I better make a call.

483
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,839
Speaker 7: Not look, Look, Jeffrey, We've got to find out who

484
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:45,559
tag Chamber is.

485
00:24:45,599 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 6: It's the only way we can square ourselves with homicide.

486
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,319
Speaker 5: You're afraid of that jail house coffee?

487
00:24:49,319 --> 00:24:50,079
Speaker 6: Please please?

488
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:55,599

Speaker 6: Oh now, please please find out who killed that poor

494
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,279
man chamber, square yourself with the police, make a clean

495
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:12,279
breast of everything.

496
00:25:12,319 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 5: Well, then you start giving me more answers, so.

497
00:25:14,079 --> 00:25:15,839
Speaker 6: I'll help you in every way. I cared Jeffrey.

498
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,759
Speaker 5: All right? What is Johnny Largo tye in with Charlie

499
00:25:17,759 --> 00:25:18,799
Pencore Lago?

500
00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 6: Oh it's an old time feud. I went through the

501
00:25:21,079 --> 00:25:24,160
nineteen twenty nine Morgue piles. Largo tried to kill pen

502
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,880
call over some money or something. He claimed. Pencal held out.

503
00:25:26,799 --> 00:25:28,079
Speaker 5: On nothing else, nothing else?

504
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:29,519
Speaker 6: Why you gotta lead?

505
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 5: What does Lago do now?

506
00:25:30,799 --> 00:25:32,599
Speaker 6: He runs a joint and guardina. The fronts were a

507
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,799
roulette wheel. Hey, hey, where are you.

508
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:35,759
Speaker 5: Going to try my luck?

509
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 6: By the way, what happened to your fate?

510
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 5: It got stepped on? Somebody had big feet, yeah, six something.

511
00:25:42,599 --> 00:25:49,079
Speaker 2: Why I knew I was coming into the home stretch.

512
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,960
I made Largo's place about three o'clock that afternoon, but

513
00:25:53,039 --> 00:25:56,119
I was too late. Three squad cars were piled up

514
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,319
in front, and the Morgue wagon was there. I checked

515
00:25:59,319 --> 00:26:02,519
with the driver, looked inside and saw that their customer

516
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:08,720
was Largo. He was extremely dead. It was easy to

517
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:13,000
see Pencore was making the rounds, first Chambers, second Largo.

518
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,079
He figured to have one more stop, and I found

519
00:26:17,079 --> 00:26:21,920
it that Black Coop was in front of Saint Anne's

520
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:26,000
Church in Sherman Oaks, inside Meredith Gibbons and Townshenre, kneeling

521
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,599
at the altar. There were a lot of people watching,

522
00:26:29,759 --> 00:26:31,240
but the one I was interested in was the guy

523
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,279
in the dark suit. He was standing in the back.

524
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 17: Hello, Riggan, I.

525
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:39,319
Speaker 5: Came to get you, Charlie.

526
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,599
Speaker 17: Yeah, I figured you would.

527
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,079
Speaker 5: They don't like murder in this state, no matter what

528
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:44,519
it's for.

529
00:26:45,039 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 9: How the state doesn't know Chambers was trying to buy

530
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,240
that kid up there out of her life.

531
00:26:49,319 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 2: So to keep your daughter from knowing who her old

532
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,359
man was, your hired kne so you could get a

533
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:54,640
line on Chambers, follow.

534
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:55,839
Speaker 5: Him, kill him.

535
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 9: He was just a name on the phone to me.

536
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,519
You had to tag him for me. The only way

537
00:27:00,519 --> 00:27:04,799
to treat him. Somehow, he knew she was my kid.

538
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,920
He had all the facts for black male. He waited

539
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,039
eighteen years to trap me. Lago was just a sideline.

540
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,000
He was until he found out I'd kill Chambers. You see,

541
00:27:15,039 --> 00:27:18,000
he was following me that night and twas Verdes. So

542
00:27:18,079 --> 00:27:21,160
you treated one black male for another. Yeah, and no

543
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,880
way off We better go, Penko. Yeah, I just a

544
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:35,680
met the Riggan. I want to see you walk. She

545
00:27:37,319 --> 00:27:38,400
looks just like a mother.

546
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,519
Speaker 5: Wrecked. Does matter, but Logo.

547
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 17: Threw some that connected here. Put your arm in back

548
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:46,359
of me.

549
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,559
Speaker 6: Hold me a freaking at least till she gets by.

550
00:27:49,799 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 17: I don't want to ruin anything.

551
00:27:51,759 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 27: Please McDonald. He came to our wedding.

552
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,319
Speaker 12: Nah, hello, thanks for coming.

553
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 27: Oh, we're so happy. Did you ever find a man

554
00:28:01,519 --> 00:28:02,079
you're looking for?

555
00:28:02,319 --> 00:28:04,039
Speaker 5: Yeah? I found him.

556
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 27: I'm glad. We're so very happy today.

557
00:28:07,839 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 6: Sure are, mister Reagan.

558
00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 27: Do I know your friends he looks for me.

559
00:28:15,839 --> 00:28:19,519
Speaker 17: No, No, you don't know me, not at all.

560
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:25,039
Speaker 6: Uh, good luck, thank you very much, Come on all.

561
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:34,400
Speaker 5: Right, okay, pencall thanks freaking Oh, get me out of

562
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:34,880
here quick.

563
00:28:42,519 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 2: There were four of Lago's slugs in him. He died

564
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,279
in the ambulance homicide. Knew about the old feud and

565
00:28:49,319 --> 00:28:51,880
not satisfied them. Why Pencall killed Johnny Largo in those

566
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,079
two hoods. But they were bending their eyebrows trying to

567
00:28:55,119 --> 00:28:58,799
figure out why Pencoll killed Chambers. I didn't figure it

568
00:28:58,839 --> 00:29:06,279
was up to me to explain it. The next morning

569
00:29:06,279 --> 00:29:08,240
when I came into the office, somebody was just leaving.

570
00:29:08,839 --> 00:29:10,240
The lion had one arm around her.

571
00:29:10,319 --> 00:29:13,599
Speaker 6: Should Oh no, no, just part of our service. Glad

572
00:29:13,599 --> 00:29:14,200
to be of hell.

573
00:29:14,279 --> 00:29:19,119
Speaker 5: But oh well, missus Gibbons, I.

574
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,079
Speaker 24: Just came by to thank you, to thank you for everything.

575
00:29:22,319 --> 00:29:24,519
I didn't know that people could be so understanding.

576
00:29:24,599 --> 00:29:28,559
Speaker 27: I didn't know, thank you, thank you so much.

577
00:29:32,119 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 6: Fine figure a woman, Reagan, Fine figure a woman.

578
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:38,039
Speaker 5: And what else does she want?

579
00:29:38,319 --> 00:29:40,319
Speaker 6: Oh? She just came to thank you, that's all.

580
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, Regid, you don't think that, after all it's happened, Yes,

581
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:45,079
I do.

582
00:29:46,559 --> 00:29:48,839
Speaker 6: That certainly doesn't show a very good opinion of me.

583
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 5: How'd she get the address?

584
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:51,759
Speaker 6: Well, I gave her a call.

585
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,799
Speaker 5: Give me, I shaid, give me.

586
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 6: It's just a small check, a gesture of her appreciation.

587
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,839
Speaker 7: Reagan, that's do that got paid for this once, Yes,

588
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,599
but this was a bonus for the rest of them.

589
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:10,000
After all, international has expenses. This is a legitimate.

590
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,319
Speaker 6: Oh well, maybe this time You're right.

596
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: Well, this was pretty early in Frank Graham's run. The

597
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:57,440
similes were dropping locked nobody's business in this one, and

598
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,279
they were still trying to find the right balance in

599
00:31:00,319 --> 00:31:04,200
the relationship between Reagan and the Lion. But this was

600
00:31:04,279 --> 00:31:08,200
still an enjoyable episode with a good guest appearance by

00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:21,599
for the Chicago Star. Stories start in many different ways.

613
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,720
This one began in a nightclub with jazz music and

614
00:32:24,799 --> 00:32:29,599
laughter and ended in a church with organ music and dead.

615
00:32:34,799 --> 00:32:47,319
Speaker 16: Pike beat, starring Bright love Joy as Randy Stone On

616
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:47,960
My Job.

617
00:32:48,039 --> 00:32:50,839
Speaker 10: You sort of come to terms with the night. You

618
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,039
have to, because that's where you learn the lessons of

619
00:32:53,079 --> 00:32:57,160
the day. Lesson one, The night is for sorrow, the

620
00:32:57,319 --> 00:33:02,400
day regret. You can't hide in the darkness for the

621
00:33:02,559 --> 00:33:06,519
night has a thousand eyes. Lesson three to one hundred.

622
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,359
Don't go looking for the dawn with a gun because

623
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,359
it might come up like thunder and leave you dead

624
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:14,359
on the doorstep.

625
00:33:17,359 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 16: Sob stories chill the night.

626
00:33:19,599 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 10: Unhappy love affairs, girls gone astray, bookkeepers who stole from

627
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,720
their tills, men who died drunken, friendless. Last night, I

628
00:33:27,799 --> 00:33:29,880
decided to pass them up and stroll into the bright

629
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,839
lights and listen to laughter. So I picked out a

630
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,440
couple of fancy bistros on the Gold Coast and started

631
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,759
the rounds to watch champagne flow and eavesdrop. I'm a

632
00:33:38,799 --> 00:33:41,279
happy stories of success.

633
00:33:40,839 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 16: Promotion, love and friendship. But it didn't work.

634
00:33:45,559 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 10: Like an iron filing, I was drawn to the magnet

635
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,039
of unhappiness.

636
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 16: It happened in the Pelican field.

637
00:33:53,839 --> 00:33:57,359
Speaker 10: He was sitting alone, all gray haired, rugged and face

638
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,839
full of some fifty odd years, I guess, and full.

639
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,559
Speaker 16: Of some other things no one could guess with three drinks.

640
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 10: At the bar before I made out who he was,

641
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,079
A man who was once big in a way that

642
00:34:09,159 --> 00:34:10,800
only politicians made.

643
00:34:10,559 --> 00:34:11,199
Speaker 15: Them kill.

644
00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 10: Mind if I sit down, who are you, Randy Stone,

645
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,679
Chicago Star, Miss McMaster's.

646
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 9: Well you're the first one. What first one who was

647
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,599
recognizing them? Not only from your pictures. It was a

648
00:34:30,639 --> 00:34:34,800
long time ago time. I know more about time than

649
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,320
you or that old guy they always have around on

650
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:39,800
New Year's with a beard and.

651
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 15: The hay cut it.

652
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,199
Speaker 9: I just thought there might be a story somewhere, Church

653
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:48,440
sit On saidan I'll tell you a story. Once upon

654
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:52,840
a time there was a guy who had everything, bunny, friends,

655
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:56,400
the future, and a bunch of old women made a

656
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,599
law called the VOLSTEEDA can remember it. Yeah, yeah, but

657
00:34:59,639 --> 00:35:02,960
I wasn't first time. Well, a lot of people were everybody.

658
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,440
In fact, you see, the law was always supposed to

659
00:35:06,519 --> 00:35:10,360
be for the other guy, not for them. If there

660
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,800
were no other guys. So this fellow I'm telling you

661
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:18,239
about got on the bandwagon. He bottled millions of violations

662
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:19,320
of the Bullstead Act.

663
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,519
Speaker 16: There's a lot of money and a lot of trouble.

664
00:35:22,559 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 4: Am I boring you?

665
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,599
Speaker 16: If you are? I asked for it, but you're not well.

666
00:35:26,639 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 9: The trouble got him a lot of jail nineteen years ago,

667
00:35:31,159 --> 00:35:33,800
started in nineteen thirty one into.

668
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,159
Speaker 15: Just two days ago.

669
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 9: I see all this guy's out and he's gonna stay clean.

670
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,960
And I can pass a thousand stupid laws and he's.

671
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 16: Not going to fall for any of them.

672
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,199
Speaker 9: He's going to do everything the way it says in

673
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,079
the books and live happily ever after.

674
00:35:52,199 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 16: How's that for a story as a good moral but

675
00:35:54,559 --> 00:35:55,199
no drama?

676
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 15: How's the spense good?

677
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 16: I hope it's real bad because I don't want you

678
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,280
to print it. Stone.

679
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 9: I'm flattered that you recognized me, but I paid back

680
00:36:05,119 --> 00:36:07,199
ten days for every one I took.

681
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 16: All I ask is that you just let me alone

682
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:11,199
in the papers.

683
00:36:12,039 --> 00:36:14,559
Speaker 10: Okay, McMaster, As far as I'm concerned, you made your

684
00:36:14,639 --> 00:36:16,320
last copy in nineteen thirty one.

685
00:36:16,559 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 9: Stone is nice to come out of prison and I

686
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,679
have the first guy you meet and not like you.

687
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 16: Let me buy you a drink.

688
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 10: He tried to be happy and gay after that, and

689
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,039
I tried to help him, but there was a sadness

690
00:36:31,039 --> 00:36:34,039
about himness stood him the way. I wanted to ask

691
00:36:34,079 --> 00:36:38,519
more questions about times and places, but I didn't. Why

692
00:36:38,599 --> 00:36:40,679
is it when you come across the best stories, you

693
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,800
fall all over your conscience. I know I couldn't print

694
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,679
anything about John McMasters, yet I was still thinking about him.

695
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,360
An hour later at police headquarters, while batting the breeze

696
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,119
with Lieutenant Fairly White. The lieutenant was on his way

697
00:36:54,119 --> 00:36:55,760
out to cover a hotel shooting, and I.

698
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 16: Went with him.

699
00:36:57,039 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 10: It was a showy placed with glass doors and ebony handwriting.

700
00:37:00,079 --> 00:37:04,320
Else the night manager was standing his alpaca jacket.

701
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 31: With nervous sweats. Please please be as quiet as possible.

702
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:08,920
I don't want it to sound like an else's convention

703
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:09,320
in here.

704
00:37:09,559 --> 00:37:10,559
Speaker 16: Just tell us what happened.

705
00:37:10,599 --> 00:37:12,159
Speaker 15: We're putting for throughout this week.

706
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 31: I don't know where to beginning. Dec If somebody phoned

707
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,840
down it happened on the fifth floor, said there was

708
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,199
a shooting. So I went up there, but I couldn't

709
00:37:20,199 --> 00:37:21,960
hear any shooting or see any.

710
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,039
Speaker 10: You rarely can a for his other that's rather obvious.

711
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,079
I mean, just tell us there shooting or wasn't there?

712
00:37:29,119 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 17: Well?

713
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 16: Did you think I call you men all the way

714
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:31,159
out here?

715
00:37:31,199 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 15: If there wasn't you think.

716
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,159
Speaker 31: I'm a crank or something that I like to have

717
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,039
loud policemen standing.

718
00:37:36,639 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 16: For the lobby excitement?

719
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:38,519
Speaker 26: Where was it?

720
00:37:38,719 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 15: Well?

721
00:37:39,039 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 16: Pass, I'm gonna ask you, Ques sure?

722
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,079
Speaker 10: I wanted to answer a single declarative English sentence.

723
00:37:46,199 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 15: Now you're ready.

724
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 31: Ook here, I'm not a child, and you mustn't treat men?

725
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:53,039
Where was a shooting in Room five twenty one?

726
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,159
Speaker 16: All right? Don't you want to know who it was?

727
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:57,599
Speaker 6: Oh?

728
00:37:58,039 --> 00:38:00,519
Speaker 16: A man named John McMasters.

729
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 10: And Vohn McMasters. Lying on his bed. The rumpel silk

730
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,960
counterpane was slowly changing from chartrus to a bright crimson.

731
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,440
Two bullets had ripped ragged holes and then threw flesh

732
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,320
and bone. His face was a shade paler and a

733
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,840
lion sadder. But when Lieutenant White questioned him, he was

734
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,960
just as self contained as ever I know John in

735
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,760
a long time. Yeah, curly, you were just a flat foot.

736
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,719
Then I was only a small fire department. You were

737
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:35,119
strictly stuffed the commissioner.

738
00:38:35,679 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 16: He did a good job. Yeah, how did it happened?

739
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:39,199
Speaker 17: John?

740
00:38:40,119 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 16: This cleaning my gun. Yeah, I lose it. John, You're

741
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:46,559
not supposed to have a gun.

742
00:38:46,599 --> 00:38:48,519
Speaker 15: Oh you know the in the law, curly, we.

743
00:38:48,559 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 16: Sometimes didn't hit it off. And where is the gun?

744
00:38:52,599 --> 00:38:57,719
I swallowed it? I want to say, yeah, no.

745
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:00,320
Speaker 35: I don't want to say what.

746
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 36: Makes you guys like you are? But I know it

747
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,320
won't do any good to try and beat it out

748
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:08,440
of him. At doctor, get the ambulance, Waddy, we'll take

749
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:09,559
him to the police hospital.

750
00:39:09,679 --> 00:39:13,119
Speaker 9: Now he's on I've served my time and I'm clean.

751
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,960
Being shot out, even in this state, doesn't make you

752
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,039
a criminal. Not take me to the general hospital. Yeah,

753
00:39:20,079 --> 00:39:22,119
I can get a one. And when you gotta come

754
00:39:22,159 --> 00:39:25,079
and see me, bring me some ice stream, Lieutenant. I've

755
00:39:25,079 --> 00:39:28,920
always liked ice stream English coffee.

756
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:36,119
Speaker 10: I didn't have a chance to change a word with mcmathews,

757
00:39:36,159 --> 00:39:37,440
so I followed him to the hospital.

758
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 16: They put him in a room.

759
00:39:39,039 --> 00:39:40,559
Speaker 10: While I was waiting for them to set up an

760
00:39:40,559 --> 00:39:43,760
emergency operation to take the bullets out of him. Lieutenant White,

761
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,800
let me slip in alone for a couple of minutes.

762
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,880
Speaker 16: Describe. You got yourself a story, after all, didn't you? Well?

763
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,639
Speaker 10: Not much along. McMath's a good reporter. I should find

764
00:39:57,639 --> 00:39:59,519
out a lot more like who shot you?

765
00:39:59,599 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 9: And why well I shot myself and just for something

766
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:07,679
to do.

767
00:40:08,119 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 10: Look, McMasters, I'm not as old as yours informed in

768
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,079
the ways of crime, but I have a fair idea

769
00:40:14,079 --> 00:40:15,599
of how tough it is to come out of prison

770
00:40:15,599 --> 00:40:18,400
and start all over. I want you to know I'd

771
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,400
be willing to help you if there's any place that

772
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,440
you need help within the law.

773
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 15: Just forget a story.

774
00:40:24,599 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 10: I have a job that says I'm supposed to bring

775
00:40:26,519 --> 00:40:28,679
in stories. Sure, but that isn't what I mean.

776
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,679
Speaker 9: Still, It's just the way I said earlier tonight. It's

777
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,599
a pleasure to meet someone like you. And if it

778
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,039
was anything I could tell you, or any way you

779
00:40:39,039 --> 00:40:42,519
can help me, you'll be the first to know. Let's

780
00:40:42,519 --> 00:40:45,760
put it this way. I have nothing to say to

781
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:51,159
you now. They come and see me tomorrow. Maybe I'll

782
00:40:51,199 --> 00:40:52,039
have a story for you.

783
00:40:52,039 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 10: Today was a riddle, his way of life, his long

784
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,800
prison term. It equipped him with a certain stoicism was

785
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:03,360
on most impossible to penetrate. I can only stand in wait,

786
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,639
at least I thought so at the moment Lieutenant White

787
00:41:06,679 --> 00:41:08,239
was standing in the corridor when I came out.

788
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,199
Speaker 15: Why not anything round me, nothing truly.

789
00:41:12,639 --> 00:41:13,320
Speaker 37: Not Granby.

790
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,159
Speaker 10: You're not pulling professional immunity on me, are you. I'm

791
00:41:16,159 --> 00:41:19,519
telling you the truth, Lieutenant say, don't be a favorite.

792
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,079
Speaker 15: Oh my badge in my ID card? Now what's this point?

793
00:41:23,519 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 10: Why don't care those I'm a policeman when I don't

794
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:27,360
have him, I'm just a citizen.

795
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 16: Now this is with a print. But in that room,

796
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:37,719
on that bed, eh, I's quite a man. You couldn't

797
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:38,119
fight it.

798
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,519
Speaker 10: Everyone who had contact with John McMasters felt the same way.

799
00:41:41,639 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 16: Despite his background, despite his code, despite his.

800
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 10: Record, there was quite a man. It occurred to me,

801
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,360
I should know more about him. So I went back

802
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,360
to the Star office. Isn't poked around.

803
00:41:52,079 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 15: On the Morgue file.

804
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 10: His folders started nineteen twelve and was sat with yellow

805
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,400
clippings all the way through in nineteen thirty one. The

806
00:42:00,519 --> 00:42:03,239
cleppings didn't mention a family or much else except a

807
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,800
lawyer associate, a man named Julian Glass, and I found

808
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:09,679
out all I could from the clippings. I went back

809
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:11,800
to his hotel to see if I could wangle another

810
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,400
once over of McMaster's room.

811
00:42:13,679 --> 00:42:15,719
Speaker 31: No, no, no, I'm sorry. A reporter or not is

812
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,320
simply count be done the police. Let explicit all.

813
00:42:18,679 --> 00:42:22,679
Speaker 10: Yes, I know, but is there anything you need these days?

814
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,920
Like a new sport code or a couple of golf cubs?

815
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 16: Mister Stone, do I look corruptible? Well? Excuse me, yes, madam?

816
00:42:30,039 --> 00:42:32,159
Speaker 33: What did you want mister McMaster's room?

817
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:32,559
Speaker 18: Please?

818
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:33,119
Speaker 16: Oh?

819
00:42:33,159 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 17: Well, I'm sorry.

820
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 15: Mister McMasters were taken to the hospital shortly ago.

821
00:42:36,679 --> 00:42:37,559
Speaker 33: What happened to him?

822
00:42:37,679 --> 00:42:38,599
Speaker 15: Somebody shot him?

823
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 33: He's still alive.

824
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:41,039
Speaker 16: I wouldn't know.

825
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,280
Speaker 10: Why don't you call find my ma'am? I can tell

826
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:47,000
you about John McMaster's. Oh, mister Stone is reporting he's

827
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,360
still alive at the County Hospital. As far as I know,

828
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:50,480
he's under excellent care.

829
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:51,119
Speaker 33: Thank you.

830
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,119
Speaker 16: Would you mind telling me what your connection is with McMasters?

831
00:42:54,159 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 33: I have no connection?

832
00:42:55,159 --> 00:42:55,599
Speaker 6: Goodbye?

833
00:42:55,599 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 16: Oh just a minute. You must at least know it,

834
00:42:58,480 --> 00:42:58,880
young man.

835
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:03,159
Speaker 33: You'd either get out of my way, I'll call it, and.

836
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:04,119
Speaker 16: She could do it.

837
00:43:04,159 --> 00:43:06,079
Speaker 10: So I stepped aside and let her walk out of

838
00:43:06,119 --> 00:43:08,679
a hotel, but I followed not far behind her. She

839
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:11,199
was middle aged, gray haired, well dressed, and she got

840
00:43:11,199 --> 00:43:13,280
into a good looking car and I got her number.

841
00:43:14,159 --> 00:43:15,119
Speaker 15: Then I called.

842
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 10: One Randy Son, Lieutenant, can you give me a rundown

843
00:43:21,039 --> 00:43:24,880
on the license numbers a lot.

844
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 16: But you know where the key is? How about it?

845
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,639
What it for? For a story I'm working on.

846
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:35,519
Speaker 10: If you will help me tonight, maybe I'll help you someday.

847
00:43:35,599 --> 00:43:39,199
Speaker 16: It's Illinois one three, seven, five nine six.

848
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:40,639
Speaker 9: I want.

849
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:43,639
Speaker 38: A callback.

850
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:51,159
Speaker 39: Lest I know it would take some time for White

851
00:43:51,159 --> 00:43:52,920
to run it down. So I made my way back

852
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,639
to the County hospital for a check up on McMaster's condition.

853
00:43:56,599 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 10: The reception does seemed reluctant to talk about them and

854
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,119
referred me to the head who sent me to the

855
00:44:01,159 --> 00:44:03,599
surgical o day who took me to the chief doctor.

856
00:44:04,199 --> 00:44:06,000
He told me to look into a crystal ball.

857
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,559
Speaker 15: He's gone and we have no idea where.

858
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:09,639
Speaker 16: How could he be gone?

859
00:44:10,039 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 10: And we started to give him a transfusion, he jumped up, suddenly,

860
00:44:13,079 --> 00:44:15,960
knocked down two male nurses, grabbed his pants and ran.

861
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:16,559
Speaker 35: Out of the hospital.

862
00:44:16,599 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 15: As simple as that.

863
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 16: I thought he was in a critical condition.

864
00:44:19,039 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 24: He was.

865
00:44:20,079 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 36: Now he's in mortal danger, running around town hemorrhaging from

866
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:24,159
two bullet wounds.

867
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,599
Speaker 15: All right, give him an hour, maybe two, with the

868
00:44:27,639 --> 00:44:28,159
most to live.

869
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,199
Speaker 16: John McMasters is a walking dead man.

870
00:44:45,199 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 34: NBC is bringing you Night Feet, starring Frank Lovejoy as

871
00:44:49,599 --> 00:44:50,320
Randy's dogs.

872
00:45:00,039 --> 00:45:00,599
Speaker 16: Take it from me.

873
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 10: Cats aren't the only animals who have a corner on curiosity.

874
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:09,639
Consider also the species randous Sona's reporter type animal the tests.

875
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,159
When the next big shot of the Roaring twenties minus

876
00:45:13,199 --> 00:45:15,480
a quarter two of blood from bullet wounds, walks out

877
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:16,840
of a hospital bed in the middle of the.

878
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:21,679
Speaker 16: Night, reporter walks too. Well, call it curiosity, or just

879
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,440
say I like what I've seen of the guy.

880
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 10: All I know is I didn't want Big John mcmass's

881
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:28,440
to bleed to death walking around town.

882
00:45:28,519 --> 00:45:30,679
Speaker 16: So I went out looking for him.

883
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:32,639
Speaker 10: And because I thought he might go to a friend's

884
00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,039
I looked up as only known friend another man of

885
00:45:35,079 --> 00:45:39,480
the same courier, Julian Glass, attorney at law. He lived

886
00:45:39,519 --> 00:45:41,880
not in a glass house, but in Cicero, in the

887
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:43,800
cromea half of a yellow duplex.

888
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 36: Young Man the drug store delivers what I need most

889
00:45:48,519 --> 00:45:52,280
to telegraph opers what I drink most. Obviously, you represent

890
00:45:52,519 --> 00:45:55,400
neither concern, and therefore you are no concern of my.

891
00:45:55,519 --> 00:45:57,639
Speaker 16: Whatever are you, mister Glass, I am.

892
00:45:57,559 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 36: He, and I am drunk and disheveled, and three o'clock

893
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,360
in the morning I'd like to talk with you.

894
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:03,679
Speaker 16: May I come in? You may not.

895
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,119
Speaker 10: This isn't exactly the hour for making calls, but I

896
00:46:06,199 --> 00:46:08,039
did stop by and pick out something to take the

897
00:46:08,119 --> 00:46:08,519
edge off.

898
00:46:09,199 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 16: It's bonded.

899
00:46:11,519 --> 00:46:16,039
Speaker 15: Inside. Perfect your apology?

900
00:46:16,159 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 16: Are you honest?

901
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:17,159
Speaker 15: Glass?

902
00:46:17,519 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 35: Ah?

903
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,519
Speaker 16: Now, then we'll make a bargain. As long as this lasts,

904
00:46:27,639 --> 00:46:31,639
you will last speak. I'm looking for a man. The

905
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,519
entire world is looking for a man, just one man.

906
00:46:34,599 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 36: A man may so blindly presume we'll break off these

907
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:42,440
shackles that bind us and lead his forth into eternal justice.

908
00:46:42,559 --> 00:46:42,760
Speaker 16: Yeah.

909
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,199
Speaker 10: Sure, but that's not the man I'm talking about. I'm

910
00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,079
a friend of John McMasters.

911
00:46:47,119 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 16: You you come from that place.

912
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 15: Sidons are not on you.

913
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 16: The Paller's not with you. No, Oh, you lie.

914
00:46:57,119 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 10: I didn't say that I was a convict. I'm a reporter.

915
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:00,719
Macmasters is out of prison.

916
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,039
Speaker 16: I'm well of that. But did you know he was.

917
00:47:03,039 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 10: In an accident to night or he was attacked? I

918
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,400
don't know which. Anyhow, he was shot in an hour

919
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,159
ago he left his hospital bed. I thought he might

920
00:47:09,159 --> 00:47:11,400
have come to you. What made you think that you're

921
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,079
the only man I know who might be his friend?

922
00:47:13,119 --> 00:47:15,199
As he contacted you and I he has not.

923
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 16: Is he here? He is not, mister Glass. If he

924
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:21,159
doesn't hospitalized soon, he'll die. Why is the phenomena of

925
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:25,119
death so persistently alarming? So you die? They all die,

926
00:47:25,639 --> 00:47:26,719
usually from a bullet.

927
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 36: Oh, mister Glass impressed me with the urgency of his situation.

928
00:47:30,679 --> 00:47:33,559
For John McMasters, he is not here, nor has he

929
00:47:33,639 --> 00:47:35,960
been here, nor has he contacted me.

930
00:47:36,159 --> 00:47:37,920
Speaker 16: Well, I was just trying. I believe him.

931
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,760
Speaker 36: You're concern for him is a distressing irritation.

932
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:43,679
Speaker 15: What's the reason for it?

933
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,039
Speaker 16: As I said, I'm his friend.

934
00:47:45,079 --> 00:47:45,679
Speaker 15: I like him.

935
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:50,280
Speaker 16: I think he deserves to live. You his friend? Now?

936
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,280
Speaker 36: His friends were the most part of Garden, like the years,

937
00:47:54,519 --> 00:47:59,239
like Hamburg hats and the Charleston lime, Ricky one who

938
00:47:59,519 --> 00:48:04,119
left broken tired with old faces, faces like mine, like his,

939
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:08,039
and they should be gone too, another ages here.

940
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:09,760
Speaker 16: Are you sure you're his friend?

941
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:14,039
Speaker 36: I once thought so, he once thought so, But now

942
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:19,559
I haven't enough strength to be his friends?

943
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 35: Hello?

944
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 15: People, who's your friend?

945
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 16: Julie? Mister Glass?

946
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:25,199
Speaker 17: To you?

947
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:30,639
Speaker 16: All right, mister Glass, Now tell me who's this?

948
00:48:30,639 --> 00:48:36,599
Speaker 36: This is mister Stone, mister Stone, Missus, mister Engel, Marty Angle.

949
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,920
I'm an associate of mister Glasses. Mister Stone, I haven't

950
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:44,679
seen you around before. Obviously you just met mister Glass,

951
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:48,039
or you'd never never offer him a drink.

952
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 15: I wouldn't know.

953
00:48:50,559 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 16: You, see, I sort of look after mister Glass. We're

954
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:53,960
all friends.

955
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 36: I was his office boy once then no Republic, and

956
00:48:58,039 --> 00:49:01,000
when I finally got my degree, I became his partner.

957
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 16: More or less. Isn't that right, mister Glass.

958
00:49:04,559 --> 00:49:06,800
Speaker 36: Mady, you don't have to do this in front of

959
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:10,480
mister And since mister Glass has fallen on some bitter days,

960
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:12,360
shall we say.

961
00:49:12,199 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 16: I've undertook to a system. Perhaps I can help you.

962
00:49:17,119 --> 00:49:19,800
Speaker 36: I don't think solicizal. Then there, would you be good

963
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:26,559
enough to leave? Said mister Glass. Give mister Stone his vitle.

964
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:29,000
Go ahead.

965
00:49:31,199 --> 00:49:36,679
Speaker 16: Yeah, there you are, mister Stone. You were just leaving,

966
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:37,159
weren't you.

967
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,320
Speaker 10: Julian Glass stood helplessly by watching him, looking as I

968
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,719
have held the same sort of sadness I had seen.

969
00:49:46,519 --> 00:49:50,880
Speaker 16: In McMaster's eyes. But they were different too, They held

970
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:51,519
a weakness.

971
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,159
Speaker 10: The strong, sad eyes were somewhere else in the city,

972
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:58,920
walking alone, and the life blood was slowly draining from

973
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:02,639
the body that sparked them. I wanted to find McMaster's

974
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:04,480
more than I wanted anything in my life. So I

975
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:06,679
went to the only other saw sign. You the license

976
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,679
number that belonged to a gray haired woman with a

977
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,800
kind face, where tennant Fight had done his duty.

978
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 16: Annie, I shouldn't do this sort of time. I come on,

979
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,239
come on, tell me about the license nummer pleasure.

980
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 36: Plate car owned by a pony named Constance Gardner, aged

981
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:22,039
twenty two, of this city.

982
00:50:21,920 --> 00:50:27,280
Speaker 16: Addressed and sharing row number. You what I'm not supposed

983
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:31,360
to do already?

984
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,320
Speaker 10: I drove out there with a feeling that I was

985
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,920
racing death. I was in the nine hundred block riping

986
00:50:37,039 --> 00:50:40,079
back of the Shawnee County probably nice big colonial house

987
00:50:40,119 --> 00:50:42,920
in a nice neighborhood. The sky was beginning to quiver

988
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,360
and shake off the blackness of night. I talked in front,

989
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,280
wondering whether or not I should ring the bell, and

990
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,360
then I saw a light in the back at the kitchen.

991
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:53,119
Everybody seemed to be staying up that night.

992
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,559
Speaker 33: Oh, come in, you must be the man from the floor.

993
00:50:56,679 --> 00:50:59,239
Speaker 10: No, no, I'm afraid not. My name is Randy Stone.

994
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:00,400
I'm from the Chicago Star.

995
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:01,280
Speaker 18: Oh.

996
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:04,159
Speaker 28: You reporters do work all hours, but we are being

997
00:51:04,159 --> 00:51:05,000
married until seven?

998
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:06,679
Speaker 16: Are you Constance Gardner?

999
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:07,199
Speaker 35: Yes?

1000
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 27: But do you want to talk to Bob?

1001
00:51:08,559 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 16: Not me?

1002
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:10,840
Speaker 27: He's the one who's rich and famous.

1003
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:11,639
Speaker 33: I'm nobody.

1004
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 16: I think I want to talk to you, Miss Gardner.

1005
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,320
Speaker 27: Well all, I'm mister Stone, but I have so many

1006
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:17,960
things to do to.

1007
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 15: Say good morning to your bride.

1008
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:22,760
Speaker 33: Bob, Bob, you shouldn't be here.

1009
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:24,320
Speaker 18: It's sad lock or something.

1010
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:26,039
Speaker 30: Mister Stone.

1011
00:51:26,039 --> 00:51:28,800
Speaker 33: This is my fiancee, Bob Meredith, Bob, mister.

1012
00:51:28,559 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 30: Stones from the paper.

1013
00:51:29,519 --> 00:51:33,639
Speaker 16: Hikay, mister Stone, I want to interview you now. Looking

1014
00:51:33,679 --> 00:51:35,559
at her, wouldn't you say I'm the luckiest man in

1015
00:51:35,599 --> 00:51:38,960
the world. I'm glad to meet you Meredith and congratulates. Thanks.

1016
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 33: Thompsons.

1017
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,079
Speaker 16: Simply must hurry by, Bob.

1018
00:51:43,119 --> 00:51:44,079
Speaker 30: What are you doing here?

1019
00:51:44,159 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 16: You know it's not right.

1020
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,519
Speaker 30: Mother, I want you to meet mister Stone.

1021
00:51:47,519 --> 00:51:48,159
Speaker 33: He's a reporter.

1022
00:51:48,519 --> 00:51:49,119
Speaker 30: Mister Stone.

1023
00:51:49,159 --> 00:51:51,480
Speaker 33: This is my mother, Missus Gardner. How do you do

1024
00:51:51,559 --> 00:51:52,239
mister Stone.

1025
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:55,760
Speaker 10: It was the same gray haired woman i'd left in

1026
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,639
the hotel a few hours before, and I had to

1027
00:51:57,679 --> 00:51:58,280
hand it to her.

1028
00:51:58,599 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 16: She looked right at me like she was made him.

1029
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,079
For the first time we shook hands.

1030
00:52:03,119 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 10: Hers were steady, and firm, and her eyes didn't leave mine,

1031
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,280
But there was something in her look that pleaded don't.

1032
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:13,280
Speaker 33: Mister Stone. Perhaps mother can help you, excuse us, please?

1033
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:15,519
Speaker 16: Sure, I'll have to get rid of Bob and get

1034
00:52:15,519 --> 00:52:17,760
some things done, of course, so that's my cue.

1035
00:52:18,159 --> 00:52:20,320
Speaker 34: So long, mister stonem gonna come with this wedding.

1036
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,199
Speaker 10: Well, I don't one of the other boys, will. I

1037
00:52:22,199 --> 00:52:27,880
still met you by He looked like a real nice

1038
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,199
pair of kids, Missus Gardner.

1039
00:52:29,599 --> 00:52:32,400
Speaker 33: They are, but I doubt if that means anything to

1040
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:33,440
you and your newspaper.

1041
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,280
Speaker 10: Well, you were trying to reach John McMasters at his

1042
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:39,119
hotel tonight. You obviously have some connection with him. I

1043
00:52:39,119 --> 00:52:41,239
don't care about that or the story that goes.

1044
00:52:41,039 --> 00:52:44,079
Speaker 16: With it, Missus Gardner. I'm only looking for him. Is

1045
00:52:44,119 --> 00:52:45,400
he here, of course not.

1046
00:52:45,639 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 33: He's in a hospital. You told me that yourself.

1047
00:52:47,519 --> 00:52:49,639
Speaker 10: Well, he left the hospital, he walked out. He's wandering

1048
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,159
Chicago somewhere right now, in a serious condition.

1049
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 26: Oh no, No, he.

1050
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:55,800
Speaker 10: Must have had a good reason for doing such a thing.

1051
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:57,519
I want to find him and take him back to

1052
00:52:57,519 --> 00:52:59,920
the hospital. And missus Gardener, if you know where he

1053
00:53:00,199 --> 00:53:03,559
is what he's doing, tell me. I only want to help. Please,

1054
00:53:03,599 --> 00:53:06,599
he may be dying. I believe you, mister Stone, you

1055
00:53:06,639 --> 00:53:07,719
have any idea where he could be.

1056
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,079
Speaker 33: There's something you should know, something that shouldn't be written

1057
00:53:12,119 --> 00:53:16,199
in the papers. Please. That lovely girl just walked out

1058
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:20,239
of this room is John McMaster's daughter. In nineteen thirty one.

1059
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,480
I adopted her and raised her as my own. No

1060
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,360
one knew about it. John promised he would never write

1061
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,519
us or bothers in any way, and he's kept his word.

1062
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:29,320
Speaker 16: But you were trying to see him tonight.

1063
00:53:29,360 --> 00:53:33,039
Speaker 33: Why two days before he was released, a man came here.

1064
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,119
He said he knew confidence was not my real daughter.

1065
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:40,199
He said he wanted money to keep it quiet. It exposures.

1066
00:53:41,119 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 16: Did you pay this man off?

1067
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:43,119
Speaker 14: No?

1068
00:53:43,679 --> 00:53:46,599
Speaker 33: I contacted John and told him. He said not to worry, that.

1069
00:53:46,639 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 27: He'd take care of it.

1070
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,639
Speaker 10: He got shot and I trying to take care of it,

1071
00:53:49,639 --> 00:53:51,599
and he's out right now, still taking care of it.

1072
00:53:51,639 --> 00:53:52,320
Who was the man?

1073
00:53:52,679 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 18: Why?

1074
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,199
Speaker 33: I don't know, mister Stone. I never saw him before.

1075
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:56,480
He just said that.

1076
00:53:56,639 --> 00:54:00,519
Speaker 16: John would know who he was. Oh was he big? Tall? Short?

1077
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,599
Speaker 33: He didn't drinking heavily? It seemed cultured.

1078
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:07,760
Speaker 10: Julian Glass a lawyer. He'd know about the trust funneling adoption.

1079
00:54:08,599 --> 00:54:15,800
He probably handled it all. Julian Glass was a drunkard crewe,

1080
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,360
but he didn't strike me as a blackmailer. I was

1081
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:20,639
thinking of his friend, Marty Angel as I drove out

1082
00:54:20,639 --> 00:54:24,679
to Cicero as fast as I could. Three squad cars

1083
00:54:24,679 --> 00:54:26,880
were already there. And then I noticed with a sinking

1084
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:30,280
heart that a hearse was also there. I was too late.

1085
00:54:31,199 --> 00:54:33,320
A milkman filled in the details.

1086
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:34,519
Speaker 36: It was awful.

1087
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:37,079
Speaker 16: It happened so fast as all as you'll tell it fast.

1088
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 40: I'm delivering my milk when I see this tall guy

1089
00:54:40,039 --> 00:54:42,679
with a gray hair comes staggering up to the steps,

1090
00:54:42,519 --> 00:54:44,920
the sort of pale he pounds on this door.

1091
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:46,079
Speaker 16: Here, mister Glasses, that's right.

1092
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 40: A young guy with a briefcase opened the door. The

1093
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:52,239
police say his name is Marty Engle on a young

1094
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:54,719
guy sort of wise life says hello, you have come

1095
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:55,320
to pay.

1096
00:54:55,159 --> 00:54:55,760
Speaker 6: Off, huh?

1097
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:57,119
Speaker 16: And the big guy says yeah.

1098
00:54:57,039 --> 00:54:59,679
Speaker 34: Marty, and he opens up an angle goes down, but.

1099
00:54:59,599 --> 00:55:03,159
Speaker 40: He ain't yet, and then Julian Glass wreaths into the

1100
00:55:03,199 --> 00:55:06,239
picture and he falls in front of Engele's gun just

1101
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:07,119
as he pointed at.

1102
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 16: The other guy.

1103
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 40: Glass stops two slugs and he goes down. Then on

1104
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,039
the big guy finishes off angle. Then he goes over

1105
00:55:13,079 --> 00:55:16,599
and looks at grass. He sort of size, maybe a tear,

1106
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:18,320
and then he walks off.

1107
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:20,599
Speaker 16: You try to stop him. You think I'm nuts.

1108
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 40: With two guys dead already was terrible, terrible. I need

1109
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,360
myself a drink, That's what I need. I need myself

1110
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,320
a drink, and I don't mean milk.

1111
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,239
Speaker 10: It was pretty obvious that Julian Glass did have the

1112
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,480
strength to beat John McMath's friend.

1113
00:55:38,519 --> 00:55:40,599
Speaker 16: After all, he died for him.

1114
00:55:41,079 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 10: The police had already thrown a cordon around the neighborhood

1115
00:55:43,519 --> 00:55:45,760
for the man three witnesses had described as the killer

1116
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:46,519
of Marty Angle.

1117
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:49,760
Speaker 16: As for me, I got out of talking distance right away.

1118
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 10: It was easy to see it had taken mcmasss half

1119
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:54,559
the night and most of his strength to get to

1120
00:55:54,599 --> 00:55:56,639
Marty Angle, but I was certainly still had.

1121
00:55:56,519 --> 00:55:57,320
Speaker 16: Some strength left.

1122
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:01,039
Speaker 10: The sun was up by the time I drove out

1123
00:56:01,079 --> 00:56:03,360
past Evanston, around the lake and the will met and

1124
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:04,960
stopped at Saint Vincent's Church.

1125
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,159
Speaker 16: The ceremony was just about over.

1126
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,760
Speaker 10: I stood in the back as Constance Gardner and Robert

1127
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:15,440
Meredith were not man and wife.

1128
00:56:16,159 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 41: The name of the father, your son, the Hoigo, I

1129
00:56:20,519 --> 00:56:21,320
now pronounce you.

1130
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,599
Speaker 16: He turned around and started down the island.

1131
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,320
Speaker 10: That was when I noticed the tall, gray haired man

1132
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:40,920
leaning quietly against the door. Hello stuff, what are you

1133
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,000
doing here covering your daughter's wedding?

1134
00:56:43,039 --> 00:56:47,159
Speaker 16: The glasses. I know you're a smart guy, and I

1135
00:56:47,199 --> 00:56:50,000
should find out about everything. They don't like murder in

1136
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:51,159
this state, No matter what the.

1137
00:56:51,159 --> 00:56:54,519
Speaker 9: Reason, Marty Ingel was trying to buy that kid of

1138
00:56:54,599 --> 00:56:57,280
mine out of her life. He found out who she

1139
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:01,079
was when he worked for Julie Glass had to stop him.

1140
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:03,159
Speaker 17: Poor Julie.

1141
00:57:03,519 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 16: He did all he could, but I better get you

1142
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:06,679
to a hospital.

1143
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:12,079
Speaker 15: No, I want to, so just don't hold me up.

1144
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:15,719
Speaker 17: Don't let me fall right here and run a wedding.

1145
00:57:16,239 --> 00:57:17,239
Speaker 16: Thank you, hold me up?

1146
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,199
Speaker 18: Please, thank you coming.

1147
00:57:20,719 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 16: Oh Bob, Hello Stone, thanks for covering it yourself.

1148
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:27,639
Speaker 9: You can tell all of your readers I'm the happiest

1149
00:57:27,639 --> 00:57:29,039
bride in the world and quote me.

1150
00:57:29,119 --> 00:57:30,119
Speaker 16: Please, I'll do then.

1151
00:57:30,719 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 30: Oh, mister Stoner, do I know your friends? He seems familiar.

1152
00:57:35,719 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 9: No, you didn't know me at all. I'm sort of

1153
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:45,440
an associate of mister Stones. I was glad I could

1154
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:49,719
be at your wedding. Well, I'm glad to thank you.

1155
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 15: Well, I told you you had a story this morning.

1156
00:57:59,559 --> 00:58:08,079
Speaker 16: Rannie, you're going to blend it. Nope, thanks stop. Like

1157
00:58:08,159 --> 00:58:08,960
I said, you're there.

1158
00:58:10,519 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 35: You're the kind of a guy I'm glad to meet.

1159
00:58:28,159 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 10: Big John McMaster's died in the taxicab on the way

1160
00:58:31,039 --> 00:58:34,079
to the hospital, and there's no maybe about whether it

1161
00:58:34,159 --> 00:58:37,800
was better that way or not. So I'm writing a story.

1162
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,440
It's all about laws that made criminals and laws that

1163
00:58:41,519 --> 00:58:44,719
made them not criminals. It's kind of a wandering piece

1164
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,719
of copy that doesn't really get anywhere and never really

1165
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:51,800
solves anything. But it doesn't mention any names, because I

1166
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:56,480
don't think that had solved anything either. Maybe Julian Glass

1167
00:58:56,559 --> 00:58:59,639
was right when he said they're all gone now, and

1168
00:58:59,679 --> 00:59:02,280
the one who are left are broken and tired with

1169
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:06,320
old faces, and they should be gone too. I wonder

1170
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:09,880
what he'd have to say now that he's gone with them.

1171
00:59:10,119 --> 00:59:21,119
Speaker 16: Copy Boy.

1172
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:25,199
Speaker 34: Night Beat, darring Frank Lovejoy, is produced and directed by

1173
00:59:25,239 --> 00:59:28,320
Warren Lewis. To Night's story was written by John Michael

1174
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,400
Hayes and E. Jack Newman, with music by Frank Worth.

1175
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:35,880
John McMasters was played by Bill Conrad. Frank Lovejoy may

1176
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:36,679
soon be seen.

1177
00:59:36,519 --> 00:59:37,360
Speaker 17: In Warner Brothers.

1178
00:59:37,519 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 34: I was a communist for the FBI, and now here

1179
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:45,639
again is our star, Frank Lovejoy.

1180
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:50,039
Speaker 10: Someone once said a guy meets so many interesting people

1181
00:59:50,039 --> 00:59:52,760
in the newspaper business, and somehow they all turn out

1182
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:56,760
to be newspapermen. Well, in portraying a reporter on Nightbeat,

1183
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:58,639
I've met my share of the press, and I'd like

1184
00:59:58,679 --> 01:00:02,280
to double at quotation and faith. Tonight, I want to

1185
01:00:02,280 --> 01:00:06,159
congratulate the new president of the National Press Club, Carson F. Lyman,

1186
01:00:06,199 --> 01:00:09,679
and salute Frank Rogers, Washington, correspondent of the Los Angeles

1187
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:14,239
Daily News, who was elected secretary of that organization. There

1188
01:00:14,239 --> 01:00:16,480
are a great bunch of folks. These guys and gals

1189
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:19,559
are the working press, and I'm proud to be permitted

1190
01:00:19,599 --> 01:00:20,880
to portray one of them.

1191
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 34: Good Night, Nightbeat, came to you from Hollywood. In thirty seconds.

1192
01:00:36,519 --> 01:00:40,679
Here Marlene Dietrich in a foreign affair on NBC.

1193
01:00:53,599 --> 01:00:57,559
Speaker 1: Welcome back. Well, who knew that Jock Omanagan had a

1194
01:00:57,599 --> 01:01:00,840
cousin who was a lawyer? Yeah, I could not help

1195
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:04,480
but think Jock O Madigan the whole time, and that

1196
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:08,960
I wonder if that was intentional in any way or

1197
01:01:09,199 --> 01:01:13,320
that was the type of character they wanted, because Tudor

1198
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:17,480
Owen was capable of doing a lot of different voices.

1199
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:22,280
It's kind of interesting that in both Jeff Reagan and

1200
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:27,880
Not Bait, William Conrad plays the gangster role, but he

1201
01:01:28,239 --> 01:01:32,679
is really able to give so much more and Not Beat,

1202
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,599
which I think does speak to the fact that he

1203
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:39,400
was so appreciated or Not Beat and got such great

1204
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:44,440
material and always delivered just great pathos. This is, of

1205
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:48,159
course also such an unusual episode of Not Beat because

1206
01:01:48,199 --> 01:01:52,239
the series had been off the air for several months

1207
01:01:52,519 --> 01:01:55,880
and this was an interesting one to come back on

1208
01:01:56,639 --> 01:02:01,920
and really emphasize the humanity of Randy Stone.

1209
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:03,599
Speaker 6: And he is.

1210
01:02:03,639 --> 01:02:10,119
Speaker 1: One of the most selfless characters that we featured, and

1211
01:02:10,159 --> 01:02:13,280
he really does get a chance to feature in that

1212
01:02:13,519 --> 01:02:17,920
and again continue to play really well off William Conrad. Well,

1213
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:20,960
now we're going to fast forward a couple of years

1214
01:02:21,039 --> 01:02:25,960

Speaker 17: Yeah?

Speaker 8: A wonderful report before they come across.

1235
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 17: I see you know who killed him yet or why?

1236
01:03:16,639 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 10: Ah?

1237
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:18,920
Speaker 8: Not a thing, Johnny, Yes, that he's dead. When can

1238
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:19,280

Speaker 17: As soon as I can get a plane.

1240
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:24,679
Speaker 35: Good.

Fidelity and Life Insurance Corporation, sixth and Jordan Avenue, Hartford, Connecticut.

1255
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:51,599
The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation

1256
01:04:51,679 --> 01:04:59,519
of the San Antonio matter. Expense account Item one and

1257
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:03,719
two dollars and three cents Transportation and Incidental's Hartford to

1258
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:07,360
Saint Petersburg, Florida. I arrived exactly ten hours after I

1259
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:10,440
received the call from Bed Quigley. The rainy weather there

1260
01:05:10,559 --> 01:05:12,400
was as bad, if not worse, than the weather I

1261
01:05:12,519 --> 01:05:16,719
just left. I checked in at the Saint Petersburg Hotel, shaved, showered,

1262
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:20,239
had a meal and started in. My first contact was

1263
01:05:20,239 --> 01:05:24,199
a police officer, Lieutenant Benjamin by name, a big, swarthy

1264
01:05:24,239 --> 01:05:25,719
man who seemed to know what he was about.

1265
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:28,599
Speaker 6: I don't quite get this dollar.

1266
01:05:28,679 --> 01:05:29,440
Speaker 18: What's your part?

1267
01:05:30,039 --> 01:05:32,519
Speaker 38: Just at my insurance company would like a full report

1268
01:05:32,559 --> 01:05:33,519
on everything that's happened.

1269
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:36,119
Speaker 37: Oh you mean a report separate from what we have.

1270
01:05:36,559 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 17: Yeah, that's about it, lieutenant.

1271
01:05:38,159 --> 01:05:40,639
Speaker 37: Well it's there, dough. They can spend it anyway they

1272
01:05:40,679 --> 01:05:42,559
want to. What can I do for you?

1273
01:05:42,639 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 5: Oh?

1274
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 38: Maybe we can help each other, a lieutenant, I feel

1275
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:47,400
sort of Let me tag along and see what's what

1276
01:05:47,519 --> 01:05:47,960
on the case.

1277
01:05:48,559 --> 01:05:49,119
Speaker 17: We'll see.

1278
01:05:50,119 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 4: Well.

1279
01:05:50,719 --> 01:05:53,039
Speaker 37: San Antonio bought a big place over on the south

1280
01:05:53,079 --> 01:05:55,519
end of town eleven years ago, just after he was

1281
01:05:55,519 --> 01:05:59,360
released from Alcatraz. He's lived there ever since, quiet, minding

1282
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:01,679
his own business, is keeping his nose out of trouble.

1283
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 17: Yeah, so I understand.

1284
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:04,880
Speaker 37: As long as a man does that, even a man

1285
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,960
with a background like san Antonio, as long as a

1286
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:11,079
man does that, we don't bother him. He doesn't bother us. Well,

1287
01:06:11,119 --> 01:06:12,440
today it was the first.

1288
01:06:12,159 --> 01:06:13,679
Speaker 6: Peep we ever got out of him.

1289
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:16,800
Speaker 37: What happened seemed six o'clock this morning. He phoned into

1290
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:19,559
the station and said that somebody was watching his house.

1291
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:22,880
Proulcar went out to have a look around. He told

1292
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:25,039
the officers that two men had been hanging around the

1293
01:06:25,039 --> 01:06:27,599
front of his house, but they got away just before

1294
01:06:27,599 --> 01:06:28,519
the car showed up.

1295
01:06:28,679 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 14: Um huh.

1296
01:06:29,199 --> 01:06:30,000
Speaker 17: He give a description.

1297
01:06:30,159 --> 01:06:34,239
Speaker 37: Yeah, both about six feet dark or dark overcoats and hats.

1298
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:37,920
San Antonio didn't recognize either of them. The officers put

1299
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:39,679
the description on the air and tried to find them,

1300
01:06:39,679 --> 01:06:42,840
but they didn't have any luck. Oh, san Antonio wasn't

1301
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:44,639
the kind of a bird to get excited about a

1302
01:06:44,639 --> 01:06:47,360
couple of guys taking out his place. He pretty well

1303
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:49,639
knew how to take care of himself and handle trouble.

1304
01:06:50,639 --> 01:06:53,159
Speaker 38: Yeah, but you say that he hadn't been in trouble

1305
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:55,400
or asked for any around here, that's right.

1306
01:06:55,239 --> 01:06:58,199
Speaker 37: Too, And I'm sure he didn't want any either. So

1307
01:06:58,360 --> 01:07:02,000
his call was treated like any other Prower call. We investigated,

1308
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,559
didn't find anything, and promised to keep our eyes open.

1309
01:07:05,719 --> 01:07:09,159
The cook came on duty about eight thirty. She went

1310
01:07:09,199 --> 01:07:11,000
in the kitchen, made him some breakfast, took it up

1311
01:07:11,039 --> 01:07:14,679
to his room. She found him dead. He'd been shot

1312
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:17,880
twice with the Luger lab has the slugs. Now it's

1313
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:19,039
a close range job.

1314
01:07:19,719 --> 01:07:21,519
Speaker 38: Well, then the surest bed is the two men that

1315
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:23,840
san Antonio reported watching his house.

1316
01:07:24,239 --> 01:07:26,880
Speaker 37: That's about it. Wish we could find them somewhere.

1317
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:28,280
Speaker 17: What about the cook?

1318
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:31,920
Speaker 37: She just worked their days, fixing his meals and taking

1319
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:34,559
care of him. San Antonio must have been past.

1320
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 17: Sixty, he was sixty seven.

1321
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:39,679
Speaker 37: I guess he was beginning to show. A little tread

1322
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:41,719
man who's lived the kind of life he has and

1323
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:43,920
done the things he's done, is bound to show somewhere

1324
01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:47,559
and want some rest sometime in his life. According to her,

1325
01:07:47,719 --> 01:07:52,519
he spent his days painting. Painting, Yeah, Mark san Antonio.

1326
01:07:52,599 --> 01:07:54,760
Every room in the house covered with pictures he's done

1327
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:58,360
his last few years. Oil's pretty good too. And when

1328
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:00,639
he wasn't painting, he was listening to record all kinds

1329
01:08:00,679 --> 01:08:03,599
of heavy stuff in the way of music around the place. Now,

1330
01:08:03,639 --> 01:08:07,159
you hardly figure a bootlegger like san Antonio thinking of anything.

1331
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:08,159
Speaker 4: Like music and heart.

1332
01:08:09,559 --> 01:08:13,039
Speaker 37: Yeah, And all the time he was in action, running

1333
01:08:13,079 --> 01:08:15,280
booze up in New York and getting himself in trouble

1334
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:17,680
with the tax people, he was bound to step on

1335
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:19,680
a lot of toes and get himself a lot of enemies,

1336
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:24,479
the kind of people who wouldn't forget you talk too much.

1337
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:26,399
Oh yes, no, And then I'd meet him on the

1338
01:08:26,399 --> 01:08:29,399
street or in a store. He seemed pretty gentled up.

1339
01:08:31,079 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 17: How'd he lived?

1340
01:08:32,039 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 37: Apparently he saved something from the old days? A house

1341
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:37,560
he paid for in cash Bank in New York. Used

1342
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:39,359
to send him a statement every month. I suppose he

1343
01:08:39,399 --> 01:08:44,000
had some arrangement with him. Well that's about it so far.

1344
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:47,199
Speaker 4: I see, I'm not sure appreciate the information.

1345
01:08:47,399 --> 01:08:50,720
Speaker 37: Okay, when I get anymore, i'll let you know. Grime

1346
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:52,920
Lab's still working on some of the stuff in his room.

1347
01:08:53,319 --> 01:08:54,600
Maybe we'll get something there.

1348
01:08:56,279 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 17: Say, do you mind if I talk to that cook?

1349
01:08:58,159 --> 01:08:59,560
Speaker 37: Oh that's your privileged dollar.

1350
01:09:00,079 --> 01:09:00,680
Speaker 17: Name's Olsen.

1351
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 37: She's staying at the san Antonio house during all this. Okay,

1352
01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:08,640
san Antonio's daughter blew into down this afternoon. She's at

1353
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:09,199
the house too.

1354
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:10,760
Speaker 17: What does she have to say?

1355
01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:14,119
Speaker 37: Oh nothing. She didn't even know Mark san Antonio was

1356
01:09:14,119 --> 01:09:16,479
her father until your insurance company told her.

1357
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:17,359
Speaker 17: Didn't know.

1358
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:20,039
Speaker 37: Oh no, She's been living in Philadelphia all these years

1359
01:09:20,039 --> 01:09:23,399
with an aunt, all very legitimate. The girl's been using

1360
01:09:23,399 --> 01:09:25,640
the name Randall, Edith Randall.

1361
01:09:42,039 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 38: Yes, sir, how do you do you, missus Olson? Yes, sir,

1362
01:09:46,279 --> 01:09:48,880
my name is Dollar, missus Elson. I'm from the Great

1363
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:51,760
Eastern Fidelity People. Do you suppose I could speak with

1364
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:52,399
miss Randall?

1365
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:54,079
Speaker 16: Oh? I don't think so, sir.

1366
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:55,720
Speaker 26: She's not feeling Wales.

1367
01:09:56,359 --> 01:09:58,640
Speaker 30: All of these been quite a shock to her.

1368
01:09:59,359 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 17: I see it.

1369
01:10:01,279 --> 01:10:03,199
Speaker 4: Well, then, I guess my trip out here tonight was

1370
01:10:03,239 --> 01:10:03,640
for nothing.

1371
01:10:04,079 --> 01:10:05,840
Speaker 26: Will you come tomorrow, mister Dolla?

1372
01:10:06,319 --> 01:10:06,680
Speaker 42: Please?

1373
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:10,399
Speaker 18: Yes, Miss Randal.

1374
01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:13,159
Speaker 30: Who isn't it.

1375
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:15,159
Speaker 27: It's a mister Dolla. He's from the insurance company.

1376
01:10:15,359 --> 01:10:16,520
Speaker 26: Are your round company?

1377
01:10:17,079 --> 01:10:18,520
Speaker 30: Yes, I'd like to talk for him.

1378
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:22,199
Speaker 38: The woman who said at the base of the iron

1379
01:10:22,239 --> 01:10:25,119
grilled stairway was tall and dark eyed, and she came

1380
01:10:25,199 --> 01:10:30,319
towards me, smiling, showing a frank, wide, happy mouth, young

1381
01:10:30,399 --> 01:10:33,239
kind of face that could have been twenty or maybe thirty.

1382
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:36,279
Missus Olson excused herself and we were alone.

1383
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:39,680
Speaker 30: I wanted to talk to someone who might be able

1384
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:41,600
to give me a little more information about all this.

1385
01:10:42,159 --> 01:10:43,279
It's all quite new to me.

1386
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:45,399
Speaker 17: Well, I'll tell you what I can, Miss Randal.

1387
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:49,199
Speaker 30: Yes, I'm sure you will. From what mister Hurt and

1388
01:10:49,279 --> 01:10:52,359
the insurance officers told me on the phone. I'm to

1389
01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:53,680
be quite well off because this.

1390
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:56,319
Speaker 18: Man was murdered here today, you mean, mister san Antonio.

1391
01:10:57,159 --> 01:11:01,159
Speaker 30: Yes, mister san Antonio. They tell me he was my father.

1392
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:06,880
To awaken one morning and discover you're not one person

1393
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:12,319
but an entirely different person. I mean, I'm the daughter

1394
01:11:12,359 --> 01:11:14,279
of a famous rackteer who's been murdered.

1395
01:11:15,399 --> 01:11:19,520
Speaker 17: You seem to me like a very nice person, and so.

1396
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:23,279
Speaker 30: Do you, mister Dille. Will you tell me all about.

1397
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:26,960
Speaker 38: This please, Well, just our part of it, miss Randall.

1398
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:30,720
Let's see you're twenty six, now, is that right? That

1399
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:34,760
is well, twenty six years ago, your father was on

1400
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:39,039
trial for income tax evasion. Just before he was convicted,

1401
01:11:39,079 --> 01:11:41,520
he set up a trust fund with my insurance company

1402
01:11:42,159 --> 01:11:45,479
to provide for you. He's been paying money for your

1403
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:49,520
support and education all these years. According to the condition

1404
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:52,359
of the trust, the rest of the money reverts to

1405
01:11:52,399 --> 01:11:56,079
you now comes to well over fifty thousand dollars.

1406
01:11:57,079 --> 01:12:00,840
Speaker 30: That's all there is to it. Yeah, except for this,

1407
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:05,920
you mean my father. So strange to say that my

1408
01:12:06,119 --> 01:12:12,079
father's murder. I suppose I'm grateful to my father. I

1409
01:12:12,079 --> 01:12:16,119
suppose I should be grateful. I can't say that I'm

1410
01:12:16,159 --> 01:12:18,840
particularly sorry about his death any more than I would

1411
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:24,199
be if any human being died violently somewhere. Strangely, life

1412
01:12:24,199 --> 01:12:31,760
treats he sometimes very strangely. You know, you've somehow made

1413
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:34,680
me feel comfortable in this house. May I offer you

1414
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:35,079
a drink?

1415
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:43,239
Speaker 38: It was strange for me too, because I felt comfortable

1416
01:12:43,279 --> 01:12:46,760
in the house. Over the drinks, we talked of Mark

1417
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:50,199
san Antonio. I told her what I knew of his life,

1418
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:53,079
with his activities up until the time he'd been sent

1419
01:12:53,119 --> 01:12:57,159
to Alcatraz. She told me how she's been reared, far

1420
01:12:57,239 --> 01:12:59,600
removed from anything that might have connected her in any

1421
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:03,680
way the san Antonio name. Altogether, it was a revealing

1422
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:07,279
conversation for both of us. She'd never imagined any part

1423
01:13:07,319 --> 01:13:10,039
of the kind of life her father had lived, and

1424
01:13:10,119 --> 01:13:12,359
I never imagined that it was possible for anyone to

1425
01:13:12,399 --> 01:13:14,239
get away from a man like san Antonio?

1426
01:13:17,319 --> 01:13:17,800
Speaker 42: Was the road?

1427
01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:18,279
Speaker 6: Johnny?

1428
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:20,600
Speaker 17: All right?

1429
01:13:22,039 --> 01:13:24,760
Speaker 18: How long would you be in Saint Petersburg till all

1430
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:25,680
this is straightened out?

1431
01:13:26,119 --> 01:13:27,720
Speaker 30: You mean you'll be here until they find out who

1432
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:30,000
killed him?

1433
01:13:30,039 --> 01:13:30,680
Speaker 17: How about you?

1434
01:13:31,119 --> 01:13:35,000
Speaker 30: I really don't know. I really don't even know why

1435
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:41,079
I came here exactly, Yes, I do. I wanted to

1436
01:13:41,119 --> 01:13:45,039
see him, see what he looked like what kind of

1437
01:13:45,039 --> 01:13:46,520
a life he led?

1438
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:46,800
Speaker 15: Here?

1439
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:48,600
Speaker 17: Did you see him?

1440
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:49,680
Speaker 43: No?

1441
01:13:51,159 --> 01:13:54,880
Speaker 30: I suppose I can if I want to. But I

1442
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:58,640
have seen what kind of a life he had. He

1443
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:03,000
was just an ordinary man, wasn't he. Have you noticed

1444
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:04,079
the pictures he's painted?

1445
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:07,560
Speaker 17: May I ask you something?

1446
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:08,079
Speaker 44: Well?

1447
01:14:08,159 --> 01:14:08,520
Speaker 18: Yes?

1448
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:10,680
Speaker 17: How do you feel about him? Now?

1449
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:12,840
Speaker 30: Is this for your report?

1450
01:14:14,039 --> 01:14:14,680
Speaker 17: For myself?

1451
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:21,880
Speaker 30: Since you've been here in these last two hours, I've

1452
01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:24,520
begun to think of him for what he was my father.

1453
01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:28,600
I mean, I'd like to know why he was killed

1454
01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:33,119
and who did it. Will I see you again?

1455
01:14:35,039 --> 01:14:44,560
Speaker 18: I hope so, Edith, Yes, I hope so very much so,

1456
01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:45,520
I Johnny.

1457
01:14:52,119 --> 01:14:53,720
Speaker 38: I left her at the door of that line with

1458
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:58,359
a warm sensation inside of me, something I certainly hadn't

1459
01:14:58,359 --> 01:15:01,399
expected in the routine business of the investigating a murder case.

1460
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:07,640
The next morning, I was back at the house talking

1461
01:15:07,680 --> 01:15:10,000
to missus Olsen. She gave me all the information she

1462
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:12,880
could remember about San Antonio's activities up until the time

1463
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:16,239
of his death, same information she given the police, all

1464
01:15:16,239 --> 01:15:19,720
of it accurate, but lacking any possible clues to the

1465
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:23,199
identity of his slayer or slayers. I had breakfast with

1466
01:15:23,319 --> 01:15:25,359
Edith there and then went back downtown to spend a

1467
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:28,720
solid twelve hours in the company of Lieutenant Benjamin, who

1468
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:31,720
had still not located or identified the two mysterious men.

1469
01:15:32,359 --> 01:15:34,479
Speaker 4: However, there were other developments.

1470
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:38,279
Speaker 37: Say this may be something. Oh, san Antonio's partner in

1471
01:15:38,279 --> 01:15:41,760
the old days, Pallalichi, was murdered in Newark last night.

1472
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:42,760
Speaker 17: Timmy Palalici.

1473
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:43,319
Speaker 5: That's the one.

1474
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:46,279
Speaker 38: Any details, Oh, yes, that he was shot to death

1475
01:15:46,279 --> 01:15:52,600
with a luger. When the slugs taken from San Antonio's

1476
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:55,680
body were compared with those that killed Paalolichi and were

1477
01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:58,039
proved to have been fired from the same gun, the.

1478
01:15:57,800 --> 01:15:59,359
Speaker 17: Case took on new proportions.

1479
01:16:00,119 --> 01:16:03,079
Speaker 38: Every available bit of information regarding the two ex big

1480
01:16:03,079 --> 01:16:05,199
shots of the twenties was located.

1481
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:05,800
Speaker 4: Read and re read.

1482
01:16:06,359 --> 01:16:09,560
Speaker 38: It meant activity in such cities as Saint Louis, Chicago,

1483
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:13,439
New Orleans, and Buffalo, but no new information as to

1484
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:14,760
the identity of the killer.

1485
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:19,319
Speaker 17: Johnny, Hey, what is it you're shaking?

1486
01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:24,520
Speaker 30: Hold me, Hold me please. I suppose I'm being a

1487
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:27,520
terrible fool about it all, Johnny. But they've been after

1488
01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:28,199
me all day.

1489
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 17: The cheap little things.

1490
01:16:31,079 --> 01:16:33,840
Speaker 30: A newspaper syndicate wants me to write my exclusive story

1491
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:37,439
is the daughter of Mark Saint Antonio, very princess, daughter

1492
01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:38,079
of racketeer.

1493
01:16:38,199 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 5: Hey, hey, no, take it easy.

1494
01:16:40,039 --> 01:16:43,439
Speaker 30: Even Hollywood called. Some producer saw my picture in the

1495
01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:45,439
paper and offered me a contract. He says, he has

1496
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:46,520
a script already.

1497
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:52,119
Speaker 12: Come on, come on, now, come on, I'll try.

1498
01:16:54,359 --> 01:16:58,920
Speaker 30: Women are fools, aren't they. I shouldn't have come here,

1499
01:17:00,039 --> 01:17:01,319
I shouldn't have shown up at all.

1500
01:17:02,239 --> 01:17:03,479
Speaker 17: Then what would I have done either?

1501
01:17:05,279 --> 01:17:09,520
Speaker 30: And what would I have done? It makes you talk

1502
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:12,000
a drink, Johnny, I'll put on a new face.

1503
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:18,079
Speaker 38: It had become apparent to me in the five days

1504
01:17:18,119 --> 01:17:20,159
I had known her, and the five days that she'd

1505
01:17:20,199 --> 01:17:23,840
known of her father, that she'd grown to love him

1506
01:17:24,079 --> 01:17:27,039
by the memory of him. She stated it very simply.

1507
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:32,199
Speaker 30: Everyone needs a pother. If you find out you have

1508
01:17:32,319 --> 01:17:36,000
one or had one, really you love him.

1509
01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:38,439
Speaker 38: They were walking up the gravel path of the house

1510
01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:41,279
when she said that. I suppose I was thinking of

1511
01:17:41,319 --> 01:17:43,319
how nice it would be to kiss her at the door.

1512
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:47,840
Speaker 17: When I heard someone behind me. I twisted, trying for

1513
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:49,079
the gun in my inside pocket.

1514
01:17:49,119 --> 01:17:51,199
Speaker 38: But there was nobody to shoot at at least nobody

1515
01:17:51,199 --> 01:17:57,039
I could see me, Johnny.

1516
01:17:57,159 --> 01:18:03,840
Speaker 4: What Edith died right there, and I lowered it to

1517
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:04,319
the ground.

1518
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:29,039

1531
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:22,399
the second act of yours, truly.

1532
01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:23,159
Speaker 17: Johnny Dollar.

1533
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:39,520
Speaker 38: Ten seconds after Ridith Randall died in my arms, I

1534
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:41,600
was stumbling down the gravel path that led from the

1535
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:44,359
house to the road. It all happened so suddenly and

1536
01:19:44,479 --> 01:19:46,199
violently that I can't say that what I did.

1537
01:19:46,079 --> 01:19:48,359
Speaker 4: From there on or what I felt was entirely rational.

1538
01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:50,560
Speaker 38: All I know is that a car was parked at

1539
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:52,239
the deep end of the gateway and two men were

1540
01:19:52,279 --> 01:19:53,159
just climbing into it.

1541
01:19:55,279 --> 01:19:56,960
Speaker 17: Hey, hey, you two, shop.

1542
01:19:59,399 --> 01:20:12,760
Speaker 45: Stop, stop, get out of there.

1543
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 17: You get out with your hands up.

1544
01:20:15,159 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 10: My head, I'm afraid to get out.

1545
01:20:20,399 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 6: Come on, I'm gonna come.

1546
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:28,439
Speaker 17: All right, you two, Come on, Come on, m No.

1547
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:29,439
Speaker 4: Use on him.

1548
01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:31,760
Speaker 17: Mister, you see used up.

1549
01:20:32,039 --> 01:20:33,520
Speaker 4: You've got him really good.

1550
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:35,159
Speaker 16: You.

1551
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:44,439
Speaker 38: Hey, hey, stay away, you did what happened?

1552
01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:47,199
Speaker 17: I phone the police. Missus Olson, get over here right away.

1553
01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:49,600
Go on, do what I tell you.

1554
01:20:49,840 --> 01:20:56,560
Speaker 16: Hurry all right, mister all right, Yeah, you're pretty tough.

1555
01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:57,119
Speaker 42: Hello.

1556
01:20:57,319 --> 01:20:59,039
Speaker 17: What's your name? Just said?

1557
01:20:59,079 --> 01:20:59,680
Speaker 16: Pretty equal?

1558
01:21:00,079 --> 01:21:01,520
Speaker 17: Who's he was?

1559
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:06,560
Speaker 16: My brother? John?

1560
01:21:07,119 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 6: Eat the dog?

1561
01:21:12,119 --> 01:21:16,159
Speaker 17: Listen? Oh, tell it to me. Tell it to me

1562
01:21:16,239 --> 01:21:19,319
right now. There's no policeman around the calvi. You're nobody

1563
01:21:19,319 --> 01:21:19,880
but you and me.

1564
01:21:20,399 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 4: If you don't tell it to me now, you'll never

1565
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:22,760
tell it to anybody.

1566
01:21:23,359 --> 01:21:33,640
Speaker 17: Now tell it. Tell it. I die first. I had

1567
01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:34,920
one bullet left to my gun.

1568
01:21:35,960 --> 01:21:38,880
Speaker 38: I set the barrel back against his temple and pulled

1569
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:42,079
back the hammer. I think I really meant to go

1570
01:21:42,119 --> 01:21:44,920
through with it, And for the first time I noticed

1571
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:48,880
that my shoulder was covered with blood. My head began

1572
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:51,359
to ring, and I had let go and straighten up.

1573
01:21:52,119 --> 01:22:08,600
That was not the thing to do. Oh hello their dollar.

1574
01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:12,920
Speaker 17: Huh oh, lieutenant.

1575
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:17,359
Speaker 37: Quite a night this one. Huh yeah, Oh, you stopped one.

1576
01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:17,680
Speaker 17: Boy?

1577
01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:20,319
Speaker 37: You were sure curled up when we got there.

1578
01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:22,239
Speaker 17: Eatith.

1579
01:22:23,199 --> 01:22:24,119
Speaker 37: I'm sorry, Dollar.

1580
01:22:26,079 --> 01:22:27,159
Speaker 17: They thought I might have been wrong.

1581
01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:28,479
Speaker 37: No, you weren't.

1582
01:22:30,239 --> 01:22:31,880
Speaker 4: How long am I slated for this place?

1583
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:32,159
Speaker 6: Well?

1584
01:22:32,159 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 37: The doctor says, you can get out when you want to.

1585
01:22:34,439 --> 01:22:35,359
Speaker 17: If you like talking.

1586
01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:38,840
Speaker 4: They were just there and they shot her.

1587
01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:39,840
Speaker 17: That's it.

1588
01:22:40,159 --> 01:22:45,439
Speaker 4: Which one I don't know? They were together. That's enough,

1589
01:22:45,479 --> 01:22:45,720
isn't it?

1590
01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 46: Sure?

1591
01:22:46,079 --> 01:22:49,720
Speaker 37: Sure, same Luga that killed san Antonio and Palalici. Just

1592
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:51,840
trying to pin it down a little more. We can't

1593
01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:53,199
get much out of the one that's left.

1594
01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:55,000
Speaker 4: Let me ask him some questions.

1595
01:22:55,039 --> 01:22:55,920
Speaker 17: Lucian's easy.

1596
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:57,199
Speaker 37: I know how you feel about her.

1597
01:22:57,439 --> 01:22:58,680
Speaker 4: Just lie back there now.

1598
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:02,600
Speaker 17: Did he say anything at all?

1599
01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:03,560
Speaker 10: Oh?

1600
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:06,159
Speaker 37: Nothing more than his name and his brother's name. Found

1601
01:23:06,199 --> 01:23:08,199
papers on him. That's say that From New York please.

1602
01:23:08,279 --> 01:23:10,760
New York are looking him up right now. So far

1603
01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:13,359
they haven't been able to find any connection with san Antonio.

1604
01:23:15,079 --> 01:23:19,399
People like san Antonio and Palaici make enemies. But that girl,

1605
01:23:19,640 --> 01:23:22,680
it doesn't figure. And those two flew here from New

1606
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:26,479
York just to get her. Yeah, yeah, Dollar, you talked

1607
01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:28,039
to her a lot in these last few days.

1608
01:23:28,039 --> 01:23:28,680
Speaker 17: What'd she say?

1609
01:23:30,079 --> 01:23:32,920
Speaker 38: Nothing that has anything to do with this. You know yourself.

1610
01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:35,079
She didn't even know who her father was. They got killed.

1611
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:36,760
Speaker 37: That could have been an act.

1612
01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:40,560
Speaker 18: No, it wasn't. I knew her well enough to tell

1613
01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:40,760
you that.

1614
01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:43,079
Speaker 37: Yeah, why would they gun her down?

1615
01:23:43,159 --> 01:23:46,279
Speaker 38: Why the trip ed Rico boy you're holding in the

1616
01:23:46,359 --> 01:23:48,079
jail hospital as the answer?

1617
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:49,399
Speaker 17: Get it from him.

1618
01:23:50,199 --> 01:23:54,800
Speaker 37: We will doll her, We will Oh just a minute, sure,

1619
01:24:03,800 --> 01:24:09,039
old Dollar, Hue, I spoke too soon. Rico died five

1620
01:24:09,079 --> 01:24:10,720
minutes ago.

1621
01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:18,039
Speaker 38: As far as my investigation of the San Antonio case went,

1622
01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:21,720
could have ended right there. The logo found and the

1623
01:24:21,720 --> 01:24:24,119
dead Rico brother was the same gun that had fired

1624
01:24:24,199 --> 01:24:32,680
fatal bullets into all three victims. I got my release

1625
01:24:32,720 --> 01:24:35,840
from the hospital and late that afternoon walked into Lieutenant

1626
01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:37,760
Benjamin's office.

1627
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:42,279
Speaker 37: Dollar, I don't get it, don't get what here? This

1628
01:24:42,479 --> 01:24:45,159
just came from New York on. The Rico boys, Oh,

1629
01:24:45,359 --> 01:24:47,800
came to this country when they were eighteen and twenty one.

1630
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:51,079
Both of them were naturalized citizens. Records not a thing.

1631
01:24:51,319 --> 01:24:52,119
No trouble ever.

1632
01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:54,479
Speaker 17: Oh, that's funny. What else?

1633
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:57,239
Speaker 37: What's about it? At least there can't seem to locate

1634
01:24:57,279 --> 01:24:59,680
their old man. He disappeared a week ago, lived on

1635
01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:00,880
the eat side somewhere.

1636
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:02,920
Speaker 17: He naturalized citizen too.

1637
01:25:02,960 --> 01:25:05,359
Speaker 37: Oh, that's another funny thing. He's taking out his papers

1638
01:25:05,399 --> 01:25:08,000
and was due for examination with the immigration people this week.

1639
01:25:08,239 --> 01:25:13,760
They're looking for him too. When are you leaving tomorrow.

1640
01:25:13,359 --> 01:25:14,399
Speaker 17: Afternoon at one o'clock?

1641
01:25:14,399 --> 01:25:16,520
Speaker 37: Clean, Well, come on, I'll buy you some dinner.

1642
01:25:21,279 --> 01:25:22,159
Speaker 17: We had dinner.

1643
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:24,960
Speaker 38: Together and talked about the case. It had been a

1644
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:29,399
strange one. The deaths were useless, the motives unknown. The

1645
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:33,760
killers weren't even associated with their victims. I parted company

1646
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:36,319
with Lieutenant Benjamin and went back to my hotel to

1647
01:25:36,359 --> 01:25:39,399
trouble it out with sleep. About eleven o'clock, I had

1648
01:25:39,399 --> 01:25:42,520
a phone call Johnny Doller.

1649
01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 17: I don't know, this is ben Oh, what's up?

1650
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:48,279
Speaker 37: Old man Rico just walked into the city Morgue. He

1651
01:25:48,319 --> 01:25:50,479
wants to take his two sons back to New York

1652
01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:51,199
for burial.

1653
01:25:54,239 --> 01:25:56,600
Speaker 38: Twenty minutes later, I was standing in the corner's office

1654
01:25:56,640 --> 01:25:59,520
when Lieutenant Benjamin led a small, wizened old man into

1655
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:01,880
the room, sat him down in one of the chairs,

1656
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:05,239
gave him a glass of water, offered him a cigarette.

1657
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:10,359
Speaker 4: Old man refused, no, no, no, no, thank you, mister Rico.

1658
01:26:10,479 --> 01:26:11,880
Speaker 37: This is mister dollar.

1659
01:26:12,279 --> 01:26:14,319
Speaker 17: Ill, mister dollst Rico.

1660
01:26:15,359 --> 01:26:18,800
Speaker 18: I read you you.

1661
01:26:18,520 --> 01:26:19,319
Speaker 4: Killing my boys.

1662
01:26:21,319 --> 01:26:24,359
Speaker 17: So yes, they tried to kill me.

1663
01:26:25,359 --> 01:26:30,000
Speaker 4: I know, I know, too bad.

1664
01:26:32,039 --> 01:26:38,279
Speaker 17: Why, mister Rico, it just seems you're washing the way.

1665
01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:41,359
Speaker 38: I don't mean about me, I mean about Edith Randall

1666
01:26:41,439 --> 01:26:43,800
and Palalchi and Mark san Antonio.

1667
01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:50,680
Speaker 17: Why I take her the water now? Please? Why do

1668
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:56,800
you know? Why? See and tell me they're all dead? Now?

1669
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:00,359
Speaker 47: I missed it that I.

1670
01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:10,399
Speaker 38: Pietro Rico was held in custody for the immigration officials.

1671
01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:13,239
He refused to talk about his sons or any of

1672
01:27:13,279 --> 01:27:16,920
their activities. He just stayed in his jail cell, silent,

1673
01:27:17,279 --> 01:27:21,680
noncommittal to all visitors, including the chaplain. I don't suppose

1674
01:27:21,680 --> 01:27:23,479
we'd never have gotten the story of it, except that

1675
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:27,000
the will of Mark san Antonio disclosed that before her

1676
01:27:27,039 --> 01:27:30,640
marriage to him, his wife's name had been Maria Rico.

1677
01:27:33,760 --> 01:27:36,680
Speaker 17: Yeah, mot equations.

1678
01:27:37,680 --> 01:27:41,560
Speaker 38: No, I've got some answers. Mark san Antonio's wife was

1679
01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:47,479
your daughter, wasn't she? Wasn't she?

1680
01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:49,479
Speaker 8: She was?

1681
01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:52,920
Speaker 17: That all you have to say. I know talk.

1682
01:27:54,199 --> 01:27:58,079
Speaker 38: Well, and I do, mister Rico, because your daughter had

1683
01:27:58,119 --> 01:28:03,840
a daughter, a lovely, wonderful daughter, that your two sons killed.

1684
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:05,880
Speaker 17: I happen to know that girl.

1685
01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:10,880
Speaker 42: She had to die to why pard Alichi said Antonio

1686
01:28:11,119 --> 01:28:12,880
and her they.

1687
01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:13,560
Speaker 17: Had to die.

1688
01:28:14,840 --> 01:28:17,159
Speaker 4: All the bad All of us are bad at one

1689
01:28:17,159 --> 01:28:17,800
time or another.

1690
01:28:19,079 --> 01:28:23,640
Speaker 17: Who made them die? You see? Who gave you the right?

1691
01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:26,399
Speaker 4: I'm the father.

1692
01:28:28,039 --> 01:28:31,239
Speaker 42: When a daughter marries a bad man on the bad,

1693
01:28:31,319 --> 01:28:34,520
they cannot come of it. He came to her village

1694
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:37,800
many years ago, and he took her away. He and

1695
01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:43,640
the man Plichi help him to live with me all

1696
01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:48,520
this time. I live only to destroy him. For that,

1697
01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:53,880
I destroy him and the other man and the girl

1698
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:58,520
to my sons, why the girl she could not have

1699
01:28:58,600 --> 01:28:59,199
been good?

1700
01:28:59,680 --> 01:29:00,319
Speaker 17: For bad?

1701
01:29:00,359 --> 01:29:08,439
Speaker 48: The man Vendetta was at it, if you would like Mendebt.

1702
01:29:09,600 --> 01:29:12,800
He was a bad man who did the bad, the things.

1703
01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:15,199
Speaker 47: Bad.

1704
01:29:15,239 --> 01:29:17,000
Speaker 35: The man.

1705
01:29:18,760 --> 01:29:21,880
Speaker 17: I smoke. Now you've got in Chicago.

1706
01:29:38,880 --> 01:29:41,640
Speaker 38: The disposition of old Pietro Rico is up to the

1707
01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:46,000
immigration authorities. I didn't stay around Saint Petersburg for all

1708
01:29:46,079 --> 01:29:48,800

1709

1738

Speaker 17: This is the CBS Radio Network Floorway.

1739
01:32:14,439 --> 01:32:20,479
Speaker 1: Welcome back. This one is interesting and you can see

1740
01:32:20,840 --> 01:32:26,199
in many ways it's an entirely different story. The big

1741
01:32:26,439 --> 01:32:30,840
similarity is that it involves an old bootlegger who has

1742
01:32:31,199 --> 01:32:37,000
a daughter who he has protected from being involved in

1743
01:32:37,039 --> 01:32:40,680
his rackets. But the story takes a very different turn.

1744
01:32:41,239 --> 01:32:44,800
There's a strong emotional element to it, but it is

1745
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:50,399
also very steeped in the more grounded procedural approach. But

1746
01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:55,079
good performances all around, with a solid emotional outing for

1747
01:32:55,359 --> 01:32:58,520
John Lund. Now, let's go ahead and take a look

1748
01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:02,800
at how this plays out in the course of the

1749
01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:07,239
serialized version this one, and we will play all five parts,

1750

1757
01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:31,439

1758
01:33:31,479 --> 01:33:34,119
New Orleans had quite a time last night. He opened

1759
01:33:34,119 --> 01:33:36,279
the safe and walked out with seventy five hundred dollars

1760

01:33:46,199 --> 01:33:47,520
not to mention the manager's wife.

1766
01:33:47,600 --> 01:33:48,600
Speaker 4: What do you want back?

1767
01:33:49,000 --> 01:33:51,920
Speaker 8: Mainly that necklace is the property of one of our clients.

1768
01:33:52,319 --> 01:33:54,039
She was stopping at the Saint Agnes and had a

1769

stote in the.

1770
01:33:54,520 --> 01:33:56,640
Speaker 49: Hotel safe any line on the bell hop not a

01:33:56,680 --> 01:33:59,600
trade so far, my wife, don't be funny. Can you

Speaker 4: Yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Expense accounts submitted by Special Investigator

1778
01:34:32,960 --> 01:34:36,800
Johnny Dollar to the New Britain Mutual Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut.

1779
01:34:37,159 --> 01:34:39,439
The following is an accounting of expendit yours during my

1780
01:34:39,520 --> 01:34:45,960
investigation of the Valentine matter expense account Item one one

1781
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:48,880
hundred and seventy five dollars and no sense airfare and

1782
01:34:48,920 --> 01:34:50,960
the incidental cost it takes to get from Hertford to

1783
01:34:51,000 --> 01:34:54,560
New Orleans. Once there, I was more than surprised to

1784
01:34:54,600 --> 01:34:57,399
discover the police had wound up the whole case. The

1785
01:34:57,479 --> 01:35:00,640
prodigal bell hop, along with the seventy five hundred, the

1786
01:35:00,640 --> 01:35:04,199
diamond necklace, the station wagon, even the vantager's wife had

1787
01:35:04,239 --> 01:35:09,000
all been recovered, everything and everyone tearful but intact. I

1788
01:35:09,039 --> 01:35:12,159
reported this development to all parties concerned, phoned the airport

1789
01:35:12,159 --> 01:35:14,479
for a reservation back to Hartford, which they said would

1790
01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:17,479
be the following afternoon, and then looked around for something

1791
01:35:17,520 --> 01:35:20,600
to do. I found a spot on Burgundy Street that

1792
01:35:20,640 --> 01:35:22,680
seemed to be less crowded than the others, and settled

1793
01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:28,600
down for the evening. That's where it happened. He was

1794
01:35:28,600 --> 01:35:32,600
sitting alone, tall, gray haired, rugged, a face full of

1795
01:35:32,640 --> 01:35:35,560
some fifty odd years, I guessed, and follow some other

1796
01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:38,479
things no one could guess. It was three drinks at

1797
01:35:38,520 --> 01:35:40,760
the bar before I made out who he was, who

1798
01:35:40,840 --> 01:35:44,039
he had been, A man who was once big in

1799
01:35:44,079 --> 01:35:51,039
a way that only prohibition made them be. The seat

1800
01:35:51,039 --> 01:35:56,079
taken no mind. If I sit down, mister Valentine.

1801
01:35:56,399 --> 01:36:00,840
Speaker 51: Well you can't be that old, howled old enough to

1802
01:36:00,880 --> 01:36:01,560
recognize me?

1803
01:36:01,760 --> 01:36:04,720
Speaker 4: Recognize you for your picture a long time ago.

1804
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:08,920
Speaker 51: I guess I could tell you more about that than anybody.

1805
01:36:09,640 --> 01:36:12,520
Speaker 4: You're a cop, No, I'm an insurance investigating you were

1806
01:36:12,560 --> 01:36:15,960
a cop once? Once? Can I buy you a drink?

1807
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:17,640
Mister Valentine?

1808
01:36:17,920 --> 01:36:21,399
Speaker 51: Damned enough? Sure you're doing better than the boys in

1809
01:36:21,439 --> 01:36:23,840
the force. I've been living in New Orleans for three

1810
01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:26,680
months now. Nobody's calling me any reason why they should.

1811
01:36:27,119 --> 01:36:28,840
Speaker 17: No, No, there isn't.

1812
01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:31,359
Speaker 51: Then, no one's ever figured out a way to stop

1813
01:36:31,359 --> 01:36:33,079
a policeman from making a visit when he wants to.

1814
01:36:33,560 --> 01:36:34,279
Speaker 4: That's true.

1815
01:36:34,840 --> 01:36:37,319
Speaker 51: They had a funny thing. There's a lot of policemen

1816
01:36:37,359 --> 01:36:41,159
I've liked in my day, visiting policemen. That is, on

1817
01:36:41,279 --> 01:36:45,159
certain days. You're too young to remember much about a dollar.

1818
01:36:45,239 --> 01:36:47,960
But a long time ago, a bunch of old women

1819
01:36:48,039 --> 01:36:49,239
made a law called.

1820
01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:51,800
Speaker 4: The Balstead Act, sure prohibition.

1821
01:36:52,199 --> 01:36:55,960
Speaker 51: Everybody heard about it, including the old women who passed

1822
01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:58,640
the law. You see, this law was supposed to be

1823
01:36:58,680 --> 01:37:02,560
for the other guy, not for them. Anyhow, a lot

1824
01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:07,680
of people started bottling up violations of this Balstead Act. Retired, No,

1825
01:37:07,800 --> 01:37:10,319
not a bit him. Well, I've got me a lot

1826
01:37:10,319 --> 01:37:13,600
of money and a lot of trouble. Thirteen years for

1827
01:37:13,680 --> 01:37:17,199
income tax evasion. Finally, and it just three months ago,

1828
01:37:17,279 --> 01:37:19,640
and I came here to live happily.

1829
01:37:19,680 --> 01:37:21,600
Speaker 4: Ever after, funny.

1830
01:37:22,159 --> 01:37:22,239
Speaker 15: No.

1831
01:37:23,319 --> 01:37:26,119
Speaker 4: New Orleans is a nice, quiet place to live, but

1832
01:37:26,239 --> 01:37:27,560
it's still no one's bothering you.

1833
01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:28,960
Speaker 17: That's the way I want to keep it.

1834
01:37:29,680 --> 01:37:31,880
Speaker 51: And they can pass a thousand stupid laws, and I'm

1835
01:37:31,880 --> 01:37:34,319
not going to fall for any of them. Everything the

1836
01:37:34,319 --> 01:37:37,760
book says, everything in order. Now that sounds pretty good.

1837
01:37:38,359 --> 01:37:39,039
Do you believe it?

1838
01:37:39,520 --> 01:37:39,760
Speaker 17: Yes?

1839
01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:40,159
Speaker 4: I do.

1840
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:43,399
Speaker 51: Then I've got my point over. I'm flattered that you

1841
01:37:43,439 --> 01:37:44,079
recognize me.

1842
01:37:44,159 --> 01:37:44,439
Speaker 4: Dollar.

1843
01:37:45,199 --> 01:37:48,680
Speaker 51: I paid back ten days for everyone I took. All

1844
01:37:48,720 --> 01:37:50,680
I ask is that you don't ask the police to

1845
01:37:50,720 --> 01:37:51,119
bother me.

1846
01:37:51,880 --> 01:37:55,800
Speaker 4: Okay, as far as I'm concerned, Dan, you didn't even

1847
01:37:55,880 --> 01:37:56,920
have the dinner I'm.

1848
01:37:56,760 --> 01:38:00,800
Speaker 51: About to buy for you, Dollar. It's nice to come

1849
01:38:00,840 --> 01:38:03,760
out of prison be recognized by a nice guy. Where

1850
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:04,600
we go to me Miriam.

1851
01:38:08,479 --> 01:38:10,800
Speaker 4: That's where we went, and it was a swell dinner,

1852
01:38:13,840 --> 01:38:16,800
only Dan Valentine didn't eat much of him. He tried

1853
01:38:16,840 --> 01:38:20,039
to smile and crack wise, but there was a sadness

1854
01:38:20,079 --> 01:38:22,680
about him that stood in the way. I wanted to

1855
01:38:22,720 --> 01:38:25,439
ask him more questions about those days back when, but

1856
01:38:25,520 --> 01:38:28,560
I didn't. We dropped into a couple of other places,

1857
01:38:28,800 --> 01:38:32,840
the absentth House, Joe Glorioso's We listened to some jazz

1858
01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:36,359
and drank Sazarex and walked along Canal Street. Finally we

1859
01:38:36,399 --> 01:38:41,800
shook hands and said good night. Expense account item two

1860
01:38:41,920 --> 01:38:45,680
twenty six dollars and twenty six cents, hotel board and miscellaneous.

1861
01:38:46,359 --> 01:38:48,479
The next morning, I packed my bags, checked out of

1862
01:38:48,479 --> 01:38:50,439
my hotel, and was about to take a limousine out

1863
01:38:50,439 --> 01:38:55,960
to Mobile Airport. Oh, miss Donna, Yeah for you? Oh? Thanks.

1864
01:38:57,199 --> 01:38:59,479
It was from a police officer on the New Orleans

1865
01:38:59,479 --> 01:39:03,319
Force and Inspector Debacca. Could I dropped by before I

1866
01:39:03,359 --> 01:39:06,760
left town. I went right over and met Tobacca, a tall, lean,

1867
01:39:06,840 --> 01:39:09,600
gray haired man with thirty years service who kind of

1868
01:39:09,600 --> 01:39:14,640
puzzled me at first. Thanks for coming by, Donna, Sure,

1869
01:39:14,840 --> 01:39:20,000
get down? What's up the bell hop? Take back his

1870
01:39:20,039 --> 01:39:21,239
confession on that necklace?

1871
01:39:21,279 --> 01:39:21,520
Speaker 14: Theft?

1872
01:39:21,560 --> 01:39:26,800
Speaker 52: No, No, there's something else, Donna. Dan Valentine, Oh, you

1873
01:39:26,840 --> 01:39:28,680
met him about six thirty last night. You had two

1874
01:39:28,760 --> 01:39:30,439
drinks with him, and he went over to Moran's and

1875
01:39:30,439 --> 01:39:33,279
had dinner. He went to two other places. You left

1876
01:39:33,359 --> 01:39:34,159
him at eleven thirty.

1877
01:39:34,359 --> 01:39:36,560
Speaker 4: Yeah. I also brushed my teeth when I got back

1878
01:39:36,600 --> 01:39:38,119
to the hotel. But I bet you can't tell me

1879
01:39:38,159 --> 01:39:39,079
what color my pajama.

1880
01:39:39,199 --> 01:39:42,319
Speaker 52: Take it easy, Just take it easy. Maybe I'm saying

1881
01:39:42,399 --> 01:39:45,359
this bad. He doesn't know it. We've been keeping an

1882
01:39:45,359 --> 01:39:47,760
eye on Danny ever since he showed up New Ones.

1883
01:39:48,319 --> 01:39:49,039
Speaker 4: Just so it happened.

1884
01:39:49,039 --> 01:39:51,399
Speaker 52: You were with him last night, and you did business

1885
01:39:51,479 --> 01:39:54,640
with us here yesterday afternoon. So we want to know

1886
01:39:54,680 --> 01:39:56,439
if you had any business with Dan Valentine.

1887
01:39:56,560 --> 01:39:58,000
Speaker 4: Don't be funny, inspector.

1888
01:39:58,159 --> 01:40:00,800
Speaker 52: Okay, okay, and now don't get huffy. Let me put

1889
01:40:00,840 --> 01:40:04,439
it this way. Dan came to New Orleans three months ago,

1890
01:40:04,880 --> 01:40:08,119
bought a house out in Jefferson Parish. He had a housekeeper,

1891
01:40:08,279 --> 01:40:11,359
brought himself a little car, took up fishing every afternoon

1892
01:40:11,399 --> 01:40:14,159
or just walking. Nothing wrong with that, Oh of course

1893
01:40:14,199 --> 01:40:16,800
there isn't We like it fine? The boys in the

1894
01:40:16,840 --> 01:40:18,600
car drive by now and then look at him.

1895
01:40:18,880 --> 01:40:19,239
Speaker 4: Just look.

1896
01:40:19,520 --> 01:40:22,680
Speaker 52: No questions, no knocking on the door. When we see

1897
01:40:22,760 --> 01:40:24,159
Danny in town, we turn the other way.

1898
01:40:24,600 --> 01:40:25,279
Speaker 4: Just look. You see.

1899
01:40:25,479 --> 01:40:29,119
Speaker 52: Sure, Now he doesn't have any visitors, No old pals

1900
01:40:29,119 --> 01:40:32,359
from Chicago or New York or Detroit come to see him.

1901
01:40:32,960 --> 01:40:35,359
Speaker 4: He lives alone and he likes it. That's what he

1902
01:40:35,399 --> 01:40:39,800
told me. You'res first visitor. Now I just wondered you

1903
01:40:39,920 --> 01:40:44,640
wondered wrong, Debaka Okay, okay, I had to ask about it.

1904
01:40:44,680 --> 01:40:52,359
Speaker 52: You know how it is? Yeah, excuse yeah, yeah, okay,

1905
01:40:52,800 --> 01:40:53,119
right on.

1906
01:40:53,279 --> 01:40:53,720
Speaker 4: Queue.

1907
01:40:53,880 --> 01:40:56,159
Speaker 52: And your pal just stopped a couple of bullets. Huh,

1908
01:40:56,399 --> 01:40:57,720
Danny Valentine, come on.

1909
01:41:02,560 --> 01:41:05,119
Speaker 4: According to the uniform officer who had put in the call,

1910
01:41:05,159 --> 01:41:07,920
a newspaper boy had found Valentine lying on the sidewalking

1911
01:41:07,960 --> 01:41:11,239
around the neighborhood. One of the residents had carried him inside.

1912
01:41:11,640 --> 01:41:13,920
The ambulance crew stood by the bed as we came in.

1913
01:41:14,640 --> 01:41:17,039
Valentine was lying on his back, the white chinneel spread

1914
01:41:17,079 --> 01:41:19,479
under him, changing to a deep red. Two bullets had

1915
01:41:19,560 --> 01:41:21,840
ripped ragged holes in one shoulder through flesh and ball,

1916
01:41:22,520 --> 01:41:24,640
but he was just as self contained as ever. I

1917
01:41:24,720 --> 01:41:26,640
got the idea you were going to stay out of trouble, Dan.

1918
01:41:27,319 --> 01:41:29,800
Speaker 51: I didn't know I was in any trouble. Are your dollar?

1919
01:41:30,039 --> 01:41:30,439
Speaker 4: Okay?

1920
01:41:31,199 --> 01:41:32,880
Speaker 51: You went to the police after all.

1921
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:35,720
Speaker 52: No, the inspector called me in about you, Dan, But

1922
01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:36,920
let's forget that for now.

1923
01:41:37,319 --> 01:41:37,960
Speaker 4: How this happen?

1924
01:41:38,640 --> 01:41:40,760
Speaker 17: Yes, cleaning my gun.

1925
01:41:40,800 --> 01:41:42,840
Speaker 4: You're losing, Dan. You're not supposed to have a gun.

1926
01:41:43,359 --> 01:41:43,800
Speaker 8: Oh.

1927
01:41:43,840 --> 01:41:46,640
Speaker 51: You know me in the law, we sometimes didn't hit

1928
01:41:46,680 --> 01:41:47,119
it off?

1929
01:41:47,600 --> 01:41:48,600
Speaker 4: Odd? Where is the gun?

1930
01:41:49,359 --> 01:41:49,920
Speaker 17: What gun?

1931
01:41:50,039 --> 01:41:52,119
Speaker 52: The gun you were cleaning when you were walking down

1932
01:41:52,159 --> 01:41:53,640
the street and shot yourself.

1933
01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:55,199
Speaker 17: I swallowed it.

1934
01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:55,880
Speaker 29: Now.

1935
01:41:55,960 --> 01:41:58,600
Speaker 52: Look, somebody's taking a couple of shots at you, Dan.

1936
01:41:58,680 --> 01:42:00,840
Nobody can tell us anything about it, but you so far.

1937
01:42:01,560 --> 01:42:07,760
We don't want you murdered. Well, okay, boys, get the

1938
01:42:07,800 --> 01:42:09,399
eminence back. Wait a minute, Wait a minute.

1939
01:42:09,399 --> 01:42:09,760
Speaker 8: You're hurt.

1940
01:42:09,760 --> 01:42:10,880
Speaker 4: You're going to the police hospital.

1941
01:42:11,000 --> 01:42:15,199
Speaker 51: No, no, I've served my time and I'm clean. Being

1942
01:42:15,239 --> 01:42:17,560
shot out, even in this state, doesn't make you a criminal.

1943
01:42:18,439 --> 01:42:21,840
Dollar Yeah, Dan, do me a favor. Would you phone

1944
01:42:21,840 --> 01:42:23,840
a private hospital and have me take him there?

1945
01:42:24,720 --> 01:42:27,159
Speaker 52: Go ahead, Johnny, take it easy, Dan.

1946
01:42:30,479 --> 01:42:32,880
Speaker 4: I did as he asked. A crew from one of

1947
01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:34,760
the large private hospitals was out there in a matter

1948
01:42:34,800 --> 01:42:36,880
of minutes, and an hour and a half later, Dan

1949
01:42:36,960 --> 01:42:39,840
Valentine was operating on and the bullet successfully removed from

1950
01:42:39,840 --> 01:42:42,600
his shoulder. I waited around until he was taken to

1951
01:42:42,640 --> 01:42:46,800
a private room and inspected. The BACA waited with him.

1952
01:42:46,920 --> 01:42:50,439
Speaker 52: Dolla, Yeah, why don't you go back to Hartford. This

1953
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:51,640
isn't any of your business.

1954
01:42:51,880 --> 01:42:54,560
Speaker 4: I know my plane takes off it for I'll be

1955
01:42:54,600 --> 01:42:58,359
on it. Why are you waiting around here? Oh, to

1956
01:42:58,359 --> 01:43:01,199
see how he is? I guess you, bally, I just

1957
01:43:01,279 --> 01:43:05,600
met him last night. You know that, But you're waiting around. Yeah,

1958
01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:07,600
you want me to tell you why you're waiting around.

1959
01:43:08,720 --> 01:43:11,439
You want to make sure he's okay. You met him

1960
01:43:11,520 --> 01:43:13,720
last night, and outside of what you ever read or

1961
01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:15,680
heard about him, you don't know him from a load

1962
01:43:15,680 --> 01:43:18,279
of coal. But you want to make sure he's going

1963
01:43:18,319 --> 01:43:24,399
to be all right. Well so do I, because in

1964
01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:29,680
that room, on that bed, that's quite a man. A

1965
01:43:29,760 --> 01:43:32,279
lot about summed it up. No matter what he had

1966
01:43:32,359 --> 01:43:36,000
been or what he had done, Dan Valentine was quite

1967
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:38,800
a man. It was the same thing that had caused

1968
01:43:38,840 --> 01:43:40,239
me to go over to him the night before and

1969
01:43:40,279 --> 01:43:43,039
start a conversation, the same thing that caused me to

1970
01:43:43,039 --> 01:43:46,279
believe his plans for living a quiet life in New Orleans.

1971
01:43:47,760 --> 01:43:49,680
He came out of the anesthetic a half hour later,

1972
01:43:49,720 --> 01:43:50,399
and he sent for me.

1973
01:43:51,640 --> 01:43:51,760
Speaker 5: Hi.

1974
01:43:52,159 --> 01:43:54,000
Speaker 4: Hi, They say it's going to be okay.

1975
01:43:54,359 --> 01:43:58,359
Speaker 51: Oh sure, sure, this is nothing. I just wanted to

1976
01:43:58,359 --> 01:43:59,720
thank you for giving me a hand.

1977
01:44:00,079 --> 01:44:02,680
Speaker 4: Tobacca could probably help you more. All you have to

1978
01:44:02,680 --> 01:44:04,439
do is tell him who shot you and why.

1979
01:44:04,760 --> 01:44:07,560
Speaker 51: I shot myself? And just for something to do.

1980
01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:11,560
Speaker 4: Look, Dan, I have a fair idea of how tough

1981
01:44:11,600 --> 01:44:14,000
things were for you and how tough they can be now.

1982
01:44:14,680 --> 01:44:17,800
But inspected Debaca understands a tool. He'll do everything he

1983
01:44:17,880 --> 01:44:20,119
can to help you, but you have to help him. Dan,

1984
01:44:20,680 --> 01:44:22,560
Debacca is a good boy. You're right.

1985
01:44:22,640 --> 01:44:24,920
Speaker 51: You'll tell him who shot you. If there was any

1986
01:44:24,960 --> 01:44:27,239
way he could help me, I'd let him know first.

1987
01:44:28,479 --> 01:44:31,920
I'll handle this myself. I guess you want to be

1988
01:44:31,960 --> 01:44:37,600
getting your airplane. Yeah, good luck, kiddo, same to you.

1989
01:44:42,279 --> 01:44:44,439
Speaker 4: I went back to my hotel, picked up my bags,

1990
01:44:44,439 --> 01:44:49,119
and took a cab to Mobile Airport. My plane had

1991
01:44:49,119 --> 01:44:50,840
developed engine trouble and there was going to be a

1992
01:44:50,880 --> 01:44:53,439
five hour delay. I killed time at the bar and

1993
01:44:53,439 --> 01:44:55,800
in the restaurant and just standing around looking at the

1994
01:44:55,800 --> 01:44:59,359
field at night. By that time, the newspapers carried the

1995
01:44:59,399 --> 01:45:02,279
story of the amped on Dan Valentine's life. It was

1996
01:45:02,319 --> 01:45:04,720
as skippy as the story Dan had told himself. And

1997
01:45:04,840 --> 01:45:07,880
a troubled me, Miss Dollar. Yeah, a long distance off

1998
01:45:08,039 --> 01:45:16,039
you from Hartford. You can date you right in there? Oh, thanks,

1999
01:45:16,119 --> 01:45:16,960
Johnny Dollar.

2000
01:45:17,479 --> 01:45:20,479
Speaker 8: Roy Vickers, Johnny a New Britain mutual glad I.

2001
01:45:20,399 --> 01:45:22,680
Speaker 4: Caught him, just waiting for my plane back to Hartford.

2002
01:45:22,680 --> 01:45:25,800
Speaker 8: Now, this story about Nan Valentine's and all the papers

2003
01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:26,760
up here have you read?

2004
01:45:27,159 --> 01:45:29,720
Speaker 4: Yeah? I was in on it in a way. Somebody

2005
01:45:29,720 --> 01:45:32,079
shot at him today. He won't tell who, says he'll

2006
01:45:32,079 --> 01:45:32,920
handle it himself.

2007
01:45:33,159 --> 01:45:34,239
Speaker 8: Can you find out, Johnny?

2008
01:45:34,680 --> 01:45:37,680
Speaker 49: I don't know why we carry a fifty thousand dollars

2009
01:45:37,680 --> 01:45:38,439
policy on him.

2010
01:45:38,640 --> 01:45:40,399
Speaker 8: Somebody's trying to kill him. We'd like to know all

2011
01:45:40,399 --> 01:45:40,800
about it.

2012
01:45:41,600 --> 01:46:00,119
Speaker 4: You mean I can stay here and work on this, Yes, okay, Roy,

2013
01:46:03,760 --> 01:46:05,119
Johnny Dollar, This.

2014
01:46:05,000 --> 01:46:07,520
Speaker 8: Is Charlie Debacca down at HEADQUARTERA You left.

2015
01:46:07,399 --> 01:46:10,840
Speaker 4: Calling me, that's right, inspector, But you went back to Hartford.

2016
01:46:11,079 --> 01:46:11,600
Speaker 6: What now?

2017
01:46:11,920 --> 01:46:14,680
Speaker 4: The company I represent happens to hold an insurance policy

2018
01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:17,239
on Dan Valentine. They asked me to stay here in

2019
01:46:17,279 --> 01:46:19,119
New Orleans and look into this attempt on.

2020
01:46:19,119 --> 01:46:21,439
Speaker 8: His Life'd they hear about it so fast?

2021
01:46:21,479 --> 01:46:23,640
Speaker 4: Well? It wasn't. All the papers and on the wire services.

2022
01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:26,000
Valentine's always been news ever since prohibition.

2023
01:46:26,279 --> 01:46:29,119
Speaker 8: Yeah, God like him would be, you know as much

2024
01:46:29,159 --> 01:46:29,520
as I do.

2025
01:46:29,680 --> 01:46:32,319
Speaker 4: Don lead Yet he's still quiet about the whole thing.

2026
01:46:32,640 --> 01:46:34,840
Speaker 8: Just lack a mouse who won't up when up, except

2027
01:46:34,840 --> 01:46:36,319
to see he'll take care of himself.

2028
01:46:36,600 --> 01:46:38,760
Speaker 4: Maybe it'll help matters when he finds out the insurance

2029
01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:39,560
company is interested.

2030
01:46:40,039 --> 01:46:43,920
Speaker 8: You know something I don't think me, you, the whole

2031
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:47,840
Force insurance company, anybody else can see that bird alive

2032
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:49,319
unless he helps us.

2033
01:46:59,199 --> 01:47:03,319
Speaker 4: Expense accounts submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the

2034
01:47:03,319 --> 01:47:07,000
New Britain Mutual Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is

2035
01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:10,600
an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the Valentine matter.

2036
01:47:13,880 --> 01:47:17,760
Expense account continued Item three three bucks. One telegram to

2037
01:47:17,840 --> 01:47:20,439
Roy Vickers in Hartford, requesting a copy of the policy

2038
01:47:20,479 --> 01:47:24,319
contracts between New Britain Mutual and Dan Valentine, plus the

2039
01:47:24,359 --> 01:47:27,000
name and location of the beneficiary and any other debt

2040
01:47:27,039 --> 01:47:29,800
on the case. After that, I walked over to the

2041
01:47:29,800 --> 01:47:35,479
police station and looked up inspected Debacca. Sit down, thanks,

2042
01:47:36,479 --> 01:47:39,399
I don't quite get this. Tell him what's your part? Well,

2043
01:47:39,399 --> 01:47:41,720
the insurance company would like a full report on everything

2044
01:47:41,720 --> 01:47:43,760
that's happened. That's all. You can give them that on

2045
01:47:43,760 --> 01:47:47,039
the back of your thumbnail. Couldn't you not quite inspector? Oh,

2046
01:47:47,039 --> 01:47:49,399
you mean a separate report from what we have something

2047
01:47:49,479 --> 01:47:52,000
like that. Yes, as they're do they can spend it

2048
01:47:52,039 --> 01:47:54,399
any way they want to. I guess if there's any

2049
01:47:54,399 --> 01:47:57,359
reason for them canceling the policy on Valentine, they'll do it.

2050
01:47:57,960 --> 01:47:59,720
The fact that somebody shot at them a couple of

2051
01:47:59,760 --> 01:48:02,199
times and came near killing him is one thing. The

2052
01:48:02,239 --> 01:48:04,239
fact that he won't open his mouth about it is another.

2053
01:48:04,960 --> 01:48:06,920
He's looking for a way out. I didn't say that.

2054
01:48:07,560 --> 01:48:09,720
They just want to make sure about everything. That's all.

2055
01:48:10,359 --> 01:48:13,920
An insurance policy is a contract mutually beneficial to both parties.

2056
01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:16,039
Both parties have to keep the line of that contract.

2057
01:48:16,399 --> 01:48:19,760
They don't figure Danny Valentine's run around shooting himself. Insurance

2058
01:48:19,760 --> 01:48:24,000
money inspector, They don't figure anything. Well, now that you've

2059
01:48:24,039 --> 01:48:30,680
been official, be unofficial, what's your idea. Well, Valentine's got

2060
01:48:30,720 --> 01:48:33,000
a legitimate policy with the company. They don't want to

2061
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:35,399
see him kill. They tell me to investigate the shooting.

2062
01:48:36,039 --> 01:48:37,800
Actually they're telling me to see to it that he

2063
01:48:37,840 --> 01:48:41,319
stays alive. And well, well that makes sense. Good luck.

2064
01:48:41,760 --> 01:48:43,479
If you will sort of let me tag along on

2065
01:48:43,479 --> 01:48:44,720
the case, i'd appreciate it.

2066
01:48:45,279 --> 01:48:49,039
Speaker 52: Well, we'll see what's the matter now. It just could

2067
01:48:49,159 --> 01:48:52,680
me Valentine bought a house out in Jeffson Paris three

2068
01:48:52,680 --> 01:48:54,800
months ago, a couple of days after he was released

2069
01:48:54,840 --> 01:48:59,159
from federal penn He's lived there quiet, minding his own business,

2070
01:48:59,239 --> 01:48:59,960
keeping his nose up.

2071
01:49:00,159 --> 01:49:00,520
Speaker 8: Trouble.

2072
01:49:00,640 --> 01:49:03,319
Speaker 52: Yeah, as long as a man does that, even a

2073
01:49:03,319 --> 01:49:06,399
man with a background like Valentine, As long as a

2074
01:49:06,399 --> 01:49:08,920
man does that, we don't bother him, and he doesn't

2075
01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:13,800
bother us. Well, so what happens yesterday? You meet him

2076
01:49:13,840 --> 01:49:16,520
and have a couple of drinks with him? Hello, goodbye,

2077
01:49:16,760 --> 01:49:22,319
Boom boom. He gets shot twice by somebody somewhere. You

2078
01:49:22,399 --> 01:49:23,399
a bad newsboy.

2079
01:49:23,960 --> 01:49:26,359
Speaker 4: That's as wild as you can get. We had nothing

2080
01:49:26,359 --> 01:49:30,399
together except the drinks. You sure, I'm sure, but I'm

2081
01:49:30,399 --> 01:49:34,800
thinking about it just the same. Yere be back in

2082
01:49:34,840 --> 01:49:42,760
a minute. The bunky thick folder Inspector to Paka, shoved

2083
01:49:42,760 --> 01:49:47,039
across the desk at me was marked Valentine Daniel. It

2084
01:49:47,119 --> 01:49:50,359
started nineteen fifteen and was fat with yellowed clippings all

2085
01:49:50,359 --> 01:49:53,039
the way through nineteen forty two. It was a pretty

2086
01:49:53,079 --> 01:49:55,680
good history of Dan Valentine and the age he lived in.

2087
01:49:56,520 --> 01:49:58,359
He was born in Ireland and had fought in the

2088
01:49:58,359 --> 01:50:01,880
Irish Rebellion. He was regarded as both hero and scoundrel

2089
01:50:02,520 --> 01:50:05,439
for his own good. He came to America somehow. He

2090
01:50:05,520 --> 01:50:09,079
started out in the wholesale drug business, and understandably it

2091
01:50:09,119 --> 01:50:12,159
was an easy step to making prohibition alcohol and an

2092
01:50:12,199 --> 01:50:14,720
even easier step to make prison on an income tax

2093
01:50:14,760 --> 01:50:18,000
evasion charge. The fuller mentioned a wife and a daughter

2094
01:50:18,039 --> 01:50:20,760
who seemed to have successfully avoided most of the newspaper

2095
01:50:20,760 --> 01:50:24,479
headlines that had involved Dan Valentine. There was one picture

2096
01:50:24,479 --> 01:50:27,600
of Missus Valentine taken in nineteen twenty eight. That's about

2097
01:50:27,640 --> 01:50:29,479
as far as I got when Tobaca came back into

2098
01:50:29,479 --> 01:50:35,159
the room. Not alone. Interesting stuff, very inspector, very where

2099
01:50:35,199 --> 01:50:38,000
there is something more interesting. My men have been covering

2100
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:41,560
the neighborhood where the shooting happened yesterday afternoon. This man's

2101
01:50:41,560 --> 01:50:45,560
a witness is mister Dolla, an insurance investigators Willie Blakeley.

2102
01:50:45,840 --> 01:50:48,159
Speaker 53: Oh hi, how do you do, sir?

2103
01:50:48,239 --> 01:50:49,079
Speaker 4: Hope you're gonna help us?

2104
01:50:49,079 --> 01:50:49,319
Speaker 17: Will he?

2105
01:50:50,119 --> 01:50:55,000
Speaker 53: Well, I can crime. I really didn't see too much. See,

2106
01:50:55,039 --> 01:50:57,039
I was on my milk truck, and I saw this fellow,

2107
01:50:57,079 --> 01:50:59,960
as this big fellow walking down the street of.

2108
01:50:59,680 --> 01:51:01,199
Speaker 4: What's Dan Valentine?

2109
01:51:01,319 --> 01:51:04,600
Speaker 53: Yes, sir, well, he was just walking like for an

2110
01:51:04,600 --> 01:51:07,680
early morning walk. And then I saw this car come

2111
01:51:07,720 --> 01:51:09,399
around the corner and there were a couple of men

2112
01:51:09,439 --> 01:51:09,640
in it.

2113
01:51:09,720 --> 01:51:10,640
Speaker 4: What kind of car?

2114
01:51:11,399 --> 01:51:13,560
Speaker 53: I think it was a buick seed then I'm not

2115
01:51:13,600 --> 01:51:14,640
sure it was a black car.

2116
01:51:14,840 --> 01:51:18,039
Speaker 4: You hap to get the license number, No, I'd go on.

2117
01:51:19,279 --> 01:51:22,399
Speaker 53: Well, so this mister Valentine, he looked up when he

2118
01:51:22,439 --> 01:51:25,479
saw it coming and he stopped, you know, kind of funny.

2119
01:51:25,680 --> 01:51:26,640
Speaker 4: No, I don't know.

2120
01:51:26,800 --> 01:51:29,439
Speaker 53: Tell me, you know, like he was surprised.

2121
01:51:29,920 --> 01:51:31,560
Speaker 4: Do you think he was surprised at who was in

2122
01:51:31,600 --> 01:51:31,920
the car?

2123
01:51:32,039 --> 01:51:35,760
Speaker 53: Yes, so that's it. He sort of smiled, not a hello,

2124
01:51:35,840 --> 01:51:39,840
kind of a smile, sort of a sad smile, didn't wave,

2125
01:51:40,079 --> 01:51:42,800
just stood there. I couldn't see the men in the

2126
01:51:42,840 --> 01:51:44,560
car by then, so I don't know how they were

2127
01:51:44,560 --> 01:51:45,359
looking at him.

2128
01:51:45,640 --> 01:51:47,520
Speaker 4: Did you see them as they round at the corner.

2129
01:51:47,560 --> 01:51:50,039
Speaker 53: Yeah, just a couple of fellas, dark coats and hats.

2130
01:51:50,239 --> 01:51:51,800
Speaker 4: Would you know them if you saw them again?

2131
01:51:54,680 --> 01:51:59,720
Speaker 53: I don't think so, capn Okay? Two men, yes, sir.

2132
01:52:00,640 --> 01:52:03,600
So this this mister Valentine stopped and looked at him

2133
01:52:03,600 --> 01:52:06,119
and give him this kind of smile. He recognized him,

2134
01:52:06,159 --> 01:52:09,079
you think, Oh yeah, And then I heard a noise,

2135
01:52:09,199 --> 01:52:13,000
you know, something like whack, whack, mister Valentine fell down

2136
01:52:13,119 --> 01:52:14,119
and the card drove off.

2137
01:52:14,159 --> 01:52:15,439
Speaker 4: Did Valentine go for a gun?

2138
01:52:15,479 --> 01:52:15,800
Speaker 53: Noser?

2139
01:52:16,039 --> 01:52:16,880
Speaker 4: What did you do then?

2140
01:52:17,600 --> 01:52:18,680
Speaker 53: I got out of there?

2141
01:52:18,840 --> 01:52:19,279
Speaker 4: Why?

2142
01:52:19,840 --> 01:52:20,960
Speaker 53: I didn't know what was happening.

2143
01:52:21,000 --> 01:52:21,920
Speaker 6: I didn't want to get hurt.

2144
01:52:21,920 --> 01:52:23,960
Speaker 4: He didn't even try to help him, Nosa.

2145
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:26,960
Speaker 53: I was scared. I didn't know what that whack whack was, sir.

2146
01:52:26,880 --> 01:52:28,640
Speaker 4: And it took you all this time to tell us

2147
01:52:28,640 --> 01:52:31,039
about it. I'm sorry, Kevin.

2148
01:52:32,760 --> 01:52:37,560
Speaker 52: Darling, Yeah, you got something to worry about. That noise

2149
01:52:37,600 --> 01:52:40,760
he was talking about didn't sound like regular gun shots,

2150
01:52:40,840 --> 01:52:43,159
or he would have said so silence.

2151
01:52:43,560 --> 01:52:44,000
Speaker 17: What else?

2152
01:52:49,479 --> 01:52:52,680
Speaker 4: Inspector Debaca continued to question the witness, trying to ascertain

2153
01:52:52,720 --> 01:52:54,920
more details about the shooting, the car, and the men

2154
01:52:54,960 --> 01:52:57,920
inside the car. Four hours later, when I left, he

2155
01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:04,479
was still at it. Some more expenses Item four two

2156
01:53:04,520 --> 01:53:07,279
dollars and a half cab fare from police station to hospital.

2157
01:53:10,359 --> 01:53:12,000
I thought i'd drop in and take a chance on

2158
01:53:12,119 --> 01:53:16,920
Dan Valentine coming across with some information. Sorry, no visitors,

2159
01:53:17,079 --> 01:53:19,239
it's pretty important. I'm a friend of his. I'm sorry.

2160
01:53:19,399 --> 01:53:20,199
One can I see him?

2161
01:53:20,279 --> 01:53:22,920
Speaker 53: That's hard to say. Mister Valentine's condition is not too good.

2162
01:53:23,359 --> 01:53:25,760
What well, nothing to be alarmed about. He lost so

2163
01:53:25,840 --> 01:53:28,960
much blood. He's in a weakened condition. The doctors ordered

2164
01:53:28,960 --> 01:53:34,399
a transfusion. You can phone in later. Do I excuse me, yes.

2165
01:53:34,279 --> 01:53:36,840
Speaker 26: Ma'am, I should like to sy mister Valentine. Please.

2166
01:53:37,079 --> 01:53:39,760
Speaker 53: I'm sorry. I was just telling this gentleman that's impossible.

2167
01:53:40,640 --> 01:53:41,159
Speaker 26: How is he?

2168
01:53:41,159 --> 01:53:43,520
Speaker 53: He needs rest? The doctor feels he'd be better off

2169
01:53:43,560 --> 01:53:44,720
without visitors at the moment.

2170
01:53:45,439 --> 01:53:45,760
Speaker 26: Thank you.

2171
01:53:50,359 --> 01:53:52,680
Speaker 4: I had a feeling about the gray haired, well dressed woman,

2172
01:53:52,720 --> 01:53:54,960
and I hurried after her down the long corridor outside

2173
01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:57,399
the hospital. I was just in time to see her

2174
01:53:57,399 --> 01:53:59,119
take a cab that had been waiting at the curb,

2175
01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:01,840
and it's to hail one myself and we tagged along

2176
01:54:01,880 --> 01:54:03,920
Canal Street behind her until she paid off the driver

2177
01:54:03,960 --> 01:54:06,600
in front of the Roosevelt Hotel. I was right behind

2178
01:54:06,600 --> 01:54:08,000
her when she stopped in the lobby and got a

2179
01:54:08,039 --> 01:54:10,960
key to room ten sixteen. I gave her five minutes.

2180
01:54:10,960 --> 01:54:19,199
Then I knocked on her door. Yes, hello, missus Valentine,

2181
01:54:19,479 --> 01:54:25,760
my name's Johnny Duman. Anne Valentine looked at me for

2182
01:54:25,800 --> 01:54:28,119
a long time. I had to hand it to her.

2183
01:54:28,399 --> 01:54:31,920
There were no tears, no frowns or screams, Just a wide,

2184
01:54:32,119 --> 01:54:34,960
frank look from a woman who, by any man's standards,

2185
01:54:35,399 --> 01:54:36,520
had once been beautiful.

2186
01:54:39,039 --> 01:54:41,920
Speaker 26: I haven't been called by that name for many years.

2187
01:54:42,279 --> 01:54:43,680
You're a reporter, of course.

2188
01:54:43,479 --> 01:54:47,199
Speaker 4: No I'm not. I'm an insurance investigator in a policeman's office.

2189
01:54:47,199 --> 01:54:49,159
Today I saw one of the few pictures ever taken

2190
01:54:49,199 --> 01:54:49,359
of you.

2191
01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:52,720
Speaker 26: At this hotel I registered under the name of Anne Ward.

2192
01:54:53,159 --> 01:54:55,119
Speaker 4: Ward is good enough for me? Missus Valentine? May I

2193
01:54:55,159 --> 01:54:55,600
come in?

2194
01:54:56,039 --> 01:54:58,680
Speaker 26: Yes?

2195
01:55:00,199 --> 01:55:00,359
Speaker 14: Now?

2196
01:55:00,359 --> 01:55:01,600
Speaker 26: What is it you want, mister Dollar?

2197
01:55:02,239 --> 01:55:05,560
Speaker 4: Possibly the same thing you want to keep your husband alive.

2198
01:55:06,079 --> 01:55:08,439
Speaker 26: I believe that's up to the doctor's isn't he not quite?

2199
01:55:09,119 --> 01:55:10,920
Speaker 4: If he was shot at once and he won't help

2200
01:55:10,920 --> 01:55:12,960
the police find out who did it, there's a reasonable

2201
01:55:13,039 --> 01:55:15,760
chance to be shot at again. Do you know who

2202
01:55:15,760 --> 01:55:20,840
did it or who it might be. Look, the police

2203
01:55:20,880 --> 01:55:23,119
have found a witness who describes two men as having

2204
01:55:23,159 --> 01:55:25,680
done the shooting. Can you add anything to.

2205
01:55:25,640 --> 01:55:29,119
Speaker 26: That, mister Dollar. I haven't seen Dan in over thirteen years.

2206
01:55:29,359 --> 01:55:31,640
I haven't written to him, talked to him, or contacted

2207
01:55:31,720 --> 01:55:33,640
him in any way, either while he was in prison

2208
01:55:33,680 --> 01:55:34,960
or these last few months he's been out.

2209
01:55:35,039 --> 01:55:37,079
Speaker 4: I see it was his idea, but he must have

2210
01:55:37,079 --> 01:55:38,039
had a reason he did.

2211
01:55:38,880 --> 01:55:39,680
Speaker 18: Our daughter.

2212
01:55:41,279 --> 01:55:45,640
Speaker 26: She believes that Ward was her dead father's name. Do

2213
01:55:45,680 --> 01:55:49,680
I make myself clear? Yeah, I read about the shooting.

2214
01:55:49,720 --> 01:55:51,199
I caught the first plane here because I thought I

2215
01:55:51,279 --> 01:55:54,239
might help Dan. My daughter thinks I'm on a little

2216
01:55:54,640 --> 01:55:59,279
vacation by myself. You don't believe me, do you?

2217
01:56:00,159 --> 01:56:02,199
Speaker 4: Well, in view of what you've just said about not

2218
01:56:02,279 --> 01:56:03,920
having written to him for thirteen it.

2219
01:56:04,079 --> 01:56:06,840
Speaker 26: Was the way he wanted it. I was never ashamed

2220
01:56:06,840 --> 01:56:10,079
of Dan. Never he was ashamed of himself and how

2221
01:56:10,119 --> 01:56:14,119
his activities might affect us. He gave me everything I

2222
01:56:14,159 --> 01:56:17,039
ever had out of life in New Salem. That's where

2223
01:56:17,039 --> 01:56:19,760
we live, and live very well. Because Dan thought of

2224
01:56:19,760 --> 01:56:22,079
that part of it before he went to prison. We

2225
01:56:22,119 --> 01:56:27,000
are considered very proper people. To rasay myself. Dan sacrificed

2226
01:56:27,000 --> 01:56:28,399
a great deal for that consideration.

2227
01:56:29,119 --> 01:56:32,239
Speaker 4: I think that you sacrificed a great deal yourself, Missus Valentine.

2228
01:56:32,279 --> 01:56:34,119
Speaker 26: When I go back to the hospital to see him tonight,

2229
01:56:34,119 --> 01:56:36,319
he'll probably tell me to pack my bag and go home,

2230
01:56:36,359 --> 01:56:37,680
that there's nothing to worry about.

2231
01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:41,119
Speaker 4: But there is something to worry about, isn't there, Missus Valentine?

2232
01:56:41,640 --> 01:56:43,920
He won't talk about it, and you won't talk about it,

2233
01:56:43,960 --> 01:56:45,600
and both of you know all about it.

2234
01:56:45,640 --> 01:56:49,239
Speaker 26: Oh, mister Dollar, you're a very young man. I am sorry.

2235
01:56:49,279 --> 01:56:51,720
If I sound like I could help you, I can't.

2236
01:56:52,640 --> 01:56:53,159
Speaker 12: Please go.

2237
01:56:55,920 --> 01:56:58,199
Speaker 4: I went back to my hotel and had some dinner.

2238
01:56:59,359 --> 01:57:01,000
Then after a while I put in a phone call

2239
01:57:01,039 --> 01:57:02,560
to the hospital and found out I could talk to

2240
01:57:02,640 --> 01:57:06,000
Dan Valentine between seven thirty and nine about Then a

2241
01:57:06,000 --> 01:57:08,960
special delivery came for me. It contained the information I

2242
01:57:09,000 --> 01:57:12,640
wanted regarding the policy on Dan Valentine. I noticed that

2243
01:57:12,680 --> 01:57:15,439
the beneficiary was a jewel affair wife and daughter, Anne

2244
01:57:15,439 --> 01:57:18,880
and Teresa Ward. I had to check with Inspector Tobacca

2245
01:57:18,960 --> 01:57:22,039
just once more, no luck. He had been unable to

2246
01:57:22,079 --> 01:57:24,600
identify or locate the two killers described by the witness

2247
01:57:24,880 --> 01:57:27,880
he was trying to trace the car. Seven thirty on

2248
01:57:27,920 --> 01:57:30,279
the dot, I was at the hospital. The reception desk

2249
01:57:30,319 --> 01:57:32,800
seemed reluctant to talk and referred me to the head nurse,

2250
01:57:32,840 --> 01:57:35,399
who happened to be out to dinner, who referred me

2251
01:57:35,439 --> 01:57:37,520
to the surgical nurse, who took me aside and told

2252
01:57:37,600 --> 01:57:38,920
me to find a crystal ball.

2253
01:57:39,079 --> 01:57:41,680
Speaker 26: Mister Valentine's gone. We have no idea where.

2254
01:57:41,520 --> 01:57:42,439
Speaker 4: How could he be gone?

2255
01:57:42,640 --> 01:57:45,920
Speaker 26: We started giving a transfusion, he jumped up, suddenly, knocked

2256
01:57:45,920 --> 01:57:47,800
down one of the male nurses, grabbed his clothes, and

2257
01:57:47,880 --> 01:57:49,840
ran out of the hospital, just as simple as that.

2258
01:57:50,000 --> 01:57:51,560
Speaker 4: I thought he was in a serious condition.

2259
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:55,119
Speaker 26: Keep your voice down. He was in a serious condition

2260
01:57:55,439 --> 01:57:58,319
and it's going to be critical pretty soon, running around

2261
01:57:58,399 --> 01:58:01,920
town bleeding from two bullets. If you want to keep

2262
01:58:01,960 --> 01:58:04,960
him alive, mister Dollar, you better find him and find

2263
01:58:05,079 --> 01:58:08,319
him fast.

2264
01:58:12,119 --> 01:58:14,279
Speaker 4: I thought over what Dan Valentine had told me in

2265
01:58:14,279 --> 01:58:17,279
the hospital earlier about taking care of the matter himself,

2266
01:58:17,880 --> 01:58:19,520
and the more I thought about it, the more I

2267
01:58:19,560 --> 01:58:22,279
realized he was going to do just that, even if

2268
01:58:22,279 --> 01:58:42,560
it killed him. Johnny Dollar, this is Anne Ward.

2269
01:58:43,399 --> 01:58:46,199
Speaker 25: Missus Valentine. Have you heard anything about Dan?

2270
01:58:46,439 --> 01:58:49,079
Speaker 4: Nothing, Missus Valentine. The police are looking everywhere for him.

2271
01:58:49,159 --> 01:58:50,760
Speaker 25: I went to the hospital to night and they told

2272
01:58:50,760 --> 01:58:53,199
me you walked out. He might die.

2273
01:58:53,239 --> 01:58:55,279
Speaker 4: Mister I know, Missus Valentine.

2274
01:58:55,800 --> 01:58:57,560
Speaker 25: Did you tell you when I was here in New Orleans?

2275
01:58:57,640 --> 01:58:59,359
Speaker 4: If you mean, did I mention it to the police.

2276
01:58:59,399 --> 01:59:01,640
Speaker 8: No, thank you, mister darr It was very kind of you,

2277
01:59:01,920 --> 01:59:02,279
but it.

2278
01:59:02,159 --> 01:59:05,119
Speaker 4: Makes me mad that I didn't Missus Valentine. I know

2279
01:59:05,199 --> 01:59:07,079
you don't want anybody to find you're related to him

2280
01:59:07,079 --> 01:59:09,479
because of your daughter, But I also think you could

2281
01:59:09,479 --> 01:59:12,039
help the police in the situation. You could help them

2282
01:59:12,079 --> 01:59:13,760
find Dan and put him back in a hospital.

2283
01:59:14,720 --> 01:59:17,439
Speaker 25: Mister Donald, would you come over and talk to me?

2284
01:59:17,479 --> 01:59:17,840
Speaker 42: Please?

2285
01:59:18,680 --> 01:59:19,079
Speaker 25: Please?

2286
01:59:28,359 --> 01:59:32,000
Speaker 4: Expense accounts submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the

2287
01:59:32,039 --> 01:59:35,800
New Britain Mutual Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is

2288
01:59:35,800 --> 01:59:39,279
an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the Valentine matter.

2289
01:59:42,479 --> 01:59:45,119
Some more expense. I believe this is item five. Yeah,

2290
01:59:45,239 --> 01:59:48,800
four bucks, four drinks for myself. What a next big

2291
01:59:48,840 --> 01:59:51,479
shot of the roaring twenties like Dan Valentine carries a

2292
01:59:51,520 --> 01:59:54,159
fifty thousand dollars life insurance policy and walks down the

2293
01:59:54,199 --> 01:59:57,000
street one day and gets himself shot and refuses to

2294
01:59:57,000 --> 01:59:59,680
disclose who fired the bullets. I have to do the

2295
01:59:59,680 --> 02:00:03,000
worry for the insurance company. When he decides to leave

2296
02:00:03,000 --> 02:00:05,039
a hospital bed minus a pint or two of blood,

2297
02:00:05,079 --> 02:00:08,000
I have to worry some more. I needed those drinks.

2298
02:00:08,560 --> 02:00:10,199
You can just say. I liked what I'd seen of

2299
02:00:10,279 --> 02:00:11,960
the guy, and I didn't want him to walk around

2300
02:00:11,960 --> 02:00:13,399
New Orleans bleeding.

2301
02:00:13,079 --> 02:00:13,680
Speaker 17: To death.

2302
02:00:19,560 --> 02:00:20,760
Speaker 26: In here, please, mister Dolla.

2303
02:00:21,279 --> 02:00:23,359
Speaker 4: The wife, who hadn't seen or heard from him for

2304
02:00:23,399 --> 02:00:26,680
thirteen years, looked pale and want It was obvious that

2305
02:00:26,680 --> 02:00:28,680
the strain was beginning to tell on her, although she

2306
02:00:28,760 --> 02:00:29,439
tried hard not.

2307
02:00:29,439 --> 02:00:29,920
Speaker 17: To show it.

2308
02:00:30,680 --> 02:00:33,359
Speaker 26: Doesn't it ever cool off in New Orleans sometimes?

2309
02:00:33,760 --> 02:00:35,960
Speaker 4: But I'm not here to talk about the weather, Missus Valentine.

2310
02:00:36,000 --> 02:00:39,840
You know that, yes, Well, don't just stand there and

2311
02:00:39,880 --> 02:00:42,640
give me the tears. Then, if you've got anything to say,

2312
02:00:42,680 --> 02:00:45,279
say it. If you know anything that will help let

2313
02:00:45,319 --> 02:00:45,880
me know about it.

2314
02:00:46,439 --> 02:00:50,279
Speaker 26: You're perfectly right in being angry with me, mister Dowr.

2315
02:00:50,319 --> 02:00:52,079
I honestly don't know where Dan is.

2316
02:00:52,119 --> 02:00:53,640
Speaker 4: Well, do you know why he'd get up out of

2317
02:00:53,640 --> 02:00:55,479
a hospital bed and a dangerous life?

2318
02:00:55,600 --> 02:00:58,119
Speaker 26: I have an idea he might have wanted to see somebody. Ooh,

2319
02:00:58,159 --> 02:00:58,960
I don't.

2320
02:00:58,720 --> 02:01:00,479
Speaker 4: Know the two men have shot him.

2321
02:01:01,279 --> 02:01:02,079
Speaker 26: I just don't know.

2322
02:01:02,199 --> 02:01:06,840
Speaker 4: We aren't getting anywhere, missus Valentine. Look, I'm going to

2323
02:01:06,840 --> 02:01:09,760
talk to you, frankly, why did he come here to

2324
02:01:09,800 --> 02:01:14,039
live in New Orleans? Well, you live in New England

2325
02:01:14,079 --> 02:01:17,039
with your daughter Teresa. Obviously Dan thinks a great deal

2326
02:01:17,119 --> 02:01:20,079
of you in her he's given you everything, provided for

2327
02:01:20,119 --> 02:01:23,159
you with all of his troubles, spent thirteen years in prison.

2328
02:01:23,920 --> 02:01:26,159
I can imagine his thoughts about you and her while

2329
02:01:26,159 --> 02:01:28,119
he was in there, and yet he comes out and

2330
02:01:28,159 --> 02:01:29,720
lives two thousand miles away from you.

2331
02:01:30,159 --> 02:01:32,760
Speaker 26: He didn't want to interfere with Teresa in any way.

2332
02:01:32,439 --> 02:01:34,479
Speaker 4: Sure, but it seems to me he'd want to look

2333
02:01:34,520 --> 02:01:37,319
at you at her, Certainly, even if it was a

2334
02:01:37,319 --> 02:01:39,319
matter of living in Boston and taking a bus to

2335
02:01:39,359 --> 02:01:41,479
New Salemon, standing on a street corner one day to

2336
02:01:41,520 --> 02:01:44,159
watch the two of you cross the street. That sound

2337
02:01:44,159 --> 02:01:44,760
reasonable to.

2338
02:01:44,720 --> 02:01:47,119
Speaker 26: You if you put it that way.

2339
02:01:47,279 --> 02:01:50,039
Speaker 4: Well, look, there's some reason he picked New Orleans, some

2340
02:01:50,079 --> 02:01:52,640
reason he didn't give himself the little gratification of just

2341
02:01:52,680 --> 02:01:56,199
looking at you and Teresa. Why why here?

2342
02:01:56,479 --> 02:01:57,560
Speaker 26: I'm sure I don't know.

2343
02:01:57,680 --> 02:01:59,760
Speaker 4: And why is he running around now? I can't answer

2344
02:01:59,760 --> 02:02:01,880
that he but it must have something to do with

2345
02:02:01,920 --> 02:02:04,479
you and your daughter. Obviously you're the only ones he

2346
02:02:04,520 --> 02:02:05,239
ever cared about.

2347
02:02:06,159 --> 02:02:09,800
Speaker 26: Well, I honestly don't know.

2348
02:02:11,720 --> 02:02:13,960
Speaker 4: Well, and I can't help you, and I can't help

2349
02:02:14,000 --> 02:02:14,960
myself or him.

2350
02:02:16,359 --> 02:02:19,840
Speaker 26: You mentioned as having a reason to be in New Orleans.

2351
02:02:20,640 --> 02:02:25,640
Maybe what there was a man named Webster. Conrad Webster,

2352
02:02:26,239 --> 02:02:28,439
he was a member of the Illinois Bar once in

2353
02:02:28,439 --> 02:02:31,119
those days, did a great deal of work for Dan

2354
02:02:31,199 --> 02:02:34,399
and friends of Dan. I think he lived here.

2355
02:02:34,439 --> 02:02:37,439
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, I've seen that name. Yeah, on copies

2356
02:02:37,479 --> 02:02:39,760
of the insurance policy. A man named Webster had the

2357
02:02:39,800 --> 02:02:42,840
power of attorney. He bought the insurance. There's a trust

2358
02:02:42,840 --> 02:02:43,640
in there for your daughter.

2359
02:02:43,760 --> 02:02:46,840
Speaker 26: Yes, Conrad Webster was an old friend of Dan's. I

2360
02:02:46,880 --> 02:02:49,520
don't even know whether he's alive now or not. Drank

2361
02:02:49,520 --> 02:02:52,439
a great deal later on. I think he lived here.

2362
02:02:52,680 --> 02:02:54,159
Speaker 4: Was he the kind of friend Dan would go to

2363
02:02:54,239 --> 02:02:55,000
if he needed help?

2364
02:02:55,399 --> 02:02:57,640
Speaker 26: Yes, I think so. All right, what are you going

2365
02:02:57,720 --> 02:02:57,960
to do.

2366
02:02:58,560 --> 02:03:01,119
Speaker 4: It's just something to look into. I'll try and find

2367
02:03:01,159 --> 02:03:02,680
Webster and maybe I can find your husband.

2368
02:03:03,000 --> 02:03:05,279
Speaker 26: Thank you for coming by. I needed somebody to talk to.

2369
02:03:06,920 --> 02:03:07,079
Speaker 16: Well.

2370
02:03:08,119 --> 02:03:15,119
Speaker 4: I hope he stays alive. Missus Valentine had him seven

2371
02:03:15,239 --> 02:03:17,279
sixteen dollars. The money had cost me to find out

2372
02:03:17,319 --> 02:03:20,600
the location of Conrad Webster. I started at his last

2373
02:03:20,600 --> 02:03:23,039
known address, followed a series of bars, and finally got

2374
02:03:23,079 --> 02:03:25,319
information from a bartender that led me to the crumby

2375
02:03:25,359 --> 02:03:28,920
or half of a decaying duplex on Gentilly Street. Everything

2376
02:03:29,000 --> 02:03:38,520
was quiet for Gentilly Street, young.

2377
02:03:38,359 --> 02:03:39,399
Speaker 42: Man in the drug store.

2378
02:03:39,479 --> 02:03:42,520
Speaker 41: To live is what I need most, the telegraph office

2379
02:03:42,560 --> 02:03:45,760
when I dread most. Obviously you represent neither. Therefore you

2380
02:03:45,800 --> 02:03:47,159
are no concern of mine.

2381
02:03:47,239 --> 02:03:49,039
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, are you, mister Webster?

2382
02:03:49,199 --> 02:03:53,159
Speaker 41: Conrad Webster him, he and I am drunk and disheveled,

2383
02:03:53,239 --> 02:03:55,239
and it is three o'clock killer the morning.

2384
02:03:55,279 --> 02:03:56,720
Speaker 4: I'd like to talk with you. May I come in

2385
02:03:56,840 --> 02:04:00,479
you may? No, this isn't exactly the hour for making calls.

2386
02:04:00,520 --> 02:04:02,760
But I did stop buying, pick up something to take

2387
02:04:02,800 --> 02:04:08,560
the edge off. It'sponded inside inside.

2388
02:04:09,960 --> 02:04:12,359
Speaker 42: Now then you are going to.

2389
02:04:12,359 --> 02:04:14,920
Speaker 4: Apologize here you are, mister Webster.

2390
02:04:16,399 --> 02:04:31,960
Speaker 46: Well yeah, now, then as long as this lasts, you will.

2391
02:04:31,840 --> 02:04:34,279
Speaker 4: Last, all right. I'm looking for a man.

2392
02:04:36,680 --> 02:04:40,239
Speaker 41: The entire world is looking for a man, just one man,

2393
02:04:40,960 --> 02:04:44,279
a man they blindly presume will break off these shackles

2394
02:04:44,319 --> 02:04:47,840
that bind us and lead us forth into eternal justice.

2395
02:04:47,880 --> 02:04:49,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, sure, but that's not.

2396
02:04:49,279 --> 02:04:51,119
Speaker 42: An ironic anticipation.

2397
02:04:51,279 --> 02:04:56,960
Speaker 4: I'm talking about Dan Valentine. Yes, I'm a friend of his.

2398
02:04:58,479 --> 02:05:02,000
Speaker 41: No, now, you don't come from that place.

2399
02:05:02,840 --> 02:05:05,359
Speaker 42: The pallor is not with you, you lie.

2400
02:05:05,600 --> 02:05:07,199
Speaker 4: I didn't say I was in jail with it.

2401
02:05:07,239 --> 02:05:09,920
Speaker 42: And where else would he have made friends these long years.

2402
02:05:09,960 --> 02:05:12,039
Speaker 4: He's out of prison now, he's been out for three months,

2403
02:05:12,079 --> 02:05:14,199
and I'm aware of that. Did you know he was

2404
02:05:14,239 --> 02:05:17,359
shot at yesterday? Three hours ago? He left his hospital bed.

2405
02:05:18,079 --> 02:05:20,840
I thought he might have come to you. Is he here?

2406
02:05:21,279 --> 02:05:24,319
You know where he is, mister Webster. If Valentine isn't

2407
02:05:24,359 --> 02:05:27,560
back in the hospital, pretty soon he'll die.

2408
02:05:28,319 --> 02:05:32,359
Speaker 42: Why is the phenomenon of death so persistently alarming?

2409
02:05:33,640 --> 02:05:34,840
Speaker 15: So he will die?

2410
02:05:35,520 --> 02:05:38,840
Speaker 42: They all die usually from a bullet.

2411
02:05:38,479 --> 02:05:40,439
Speaker 4: And that's what's going to happen to him. Two bullets

2412
02:05:40,479 --> 02:05:42,279
he stopped yesterday. Do you understand me?

2413
02:05:42,399 --> 02:05:42,880
Speaker 6: Acutely?

2414
02:05:43,199 --> 02:05:47,800
Speaker 42: Acutely, you've impressed me with the urgency of his situation.

2415
02:05:48,800 --> 02:05:52,279
But Dan Valentine is not here, nor has he been here.

2416
02:05:52,560 --> 02:05:55,119
Speaker 41: Has he contacted me, nor do I know where to

2417
02:05:55,239 --> 02:05:58,199
contact him?

2418
02:05:58,279 --> 02:06:03,760
Speaker 4: All right, mister Webster? All right, I guess I believe him.

2419
02:06:03,159 --> 02:06:07,880
Speaker 42: Your concern for him is a distressing irritation.

2420
02:06:09,840 --> 02:06:11,239
Speaker 15: What is the reason for it.

2421
02:06:11,359 --> 02:06:13,880
Speaker 4: I'm an insurance investigator and it's my job to keep

2422
02:06:13,920 --> 02:06:17,319
him alive. More than that, I like him. I told

2423
02:06:17,319 --> 02:06:20,319
you I was his friend. I think he deserves to live.

2424
02:06:20,439 --> 02:06:24,840
Speaker 42: You his friends. No, you are too young to be

2425
02:06:24,960 --> 02:06:27,960
his friend. His friends, for the most.

2426
02:06:27,720 --> 02:06:33,520
Speaker 41: Part, are gone like the long years, like Hamburg Hats

2427
02:06:33,640 --> 02:06:38,359
and the Charleston and Lime Ricky. The ones who are

2428
02:06:38,439 --> 02:06:45,119
left are broken, tired and faded, with old faces, faces

2429
02:06:45,600 --> 02:06:50,199
like mine, like his, and we should be gone too.

2430
02:06:51,279 --> 02:06:59,520
Another age is here. Mhm, this is my sadness. As

2431
02:06:59,560 --> 02:07:03,039
for your Dan, Valentine should never have lived in that

2432
02:07:03,279 --> 02:07:07,039
age or this age. He was meant to be an explorer,

2433
02:07:07,159 --> 02:07:11,199
a pioneer who conquered a willerness, not a racketeer who

2434
02:07:11,239 --> 02:07:13,359
conquered a wesside.

2435
02:07:14,880 --> 02:07:16,880
Speaker 4: Are you sure you're his friend, mister Webster?

2436
02:07:17,600 --> 02:07:25,680
Speaker 42: I once thought so, He once thought so. Now I

2437
02:07:25,720 --> 02:07:28,119
haven't strength enough to be anyone's friend.

2438
02:07:29,800 --> 02:07:32,079
Speaker 4: What's your name, Johnny Dollar?

2439
02:07:33,479 --> 02:07:35,600
Speaker 42: Good night, mister Dollar.

2440
02:07:39,439 --> 02:07:42,119
Speaker 4: The look in Conrad Webster's eyes held the same sort

2441
02:07:42,159 --> 02:07:45,800
of sadness I had seen in Valentine's eyes, but they

2442
02:07:45,840 --> 02:07:50,279
were different too. They held a weakness. The strong, sad

2443
02:07:50,319 --> 02:07:53,000
eyes were somewhere else in the city, walking alone, probably

2444
02:07:53,079 --> 02:07:56,279
looking for two gunmen, and the lifeblood was slowly draining

2445
02:07:56,279 --> 02:08:00,560
from the body that sparked them. I went back to

2446
02:08:00,560 --> 02:08:02,920
my hotel and tried to sleep, but sleep wouldn't come.

2447
02:08:03,479 --> 02:08:05,600
I was still rolling and tossing at seven thirty the

2448
02:08:05,600 --> 02:08:07,800
next morning, when Orange Juice Coffee in the Morning Paper

2449
02:08:07,840 --> 02:08:10,279
came up. A nationwide Cinda Get had picked up the

2450
02:08:10,279 --> 02:08:12,520
new development in the Valentine shooting and gone to work

2451
02:08:12,560 --> 02:08:15,039
on it. Among other names, they mentioned and giving a

2452
02:08:15,079 --> 02:08:17,920
resume of Valentine's career, where his wife and daughter living

2453
02:08:17,920 --> 02:08:22,039
in New Salem under the name of Ward. Hello, this

2454
02:08:22,159 --> 02:08:24,920
is Johnny Dollar. I just read the Morning paper Missus Valentine.

2455
02:08:25,039 --> 02:08:27,119
Oh yes, I'm sorry it broke for you this way.

2456
02:08:27,279 --> 02:08:30,239
Speaker 26: That's very kind of you to say, so maybe it's

2457
02:08:30,239 --> 02:08:32,560
for the better. Anyhow, for years I've been wanting to

2458
02:08:32,560 --> 02:08:35,880
tell Teresa who her father is, what he's like. I'm

2459
02:08:35,880 --> 02:08:38,199
going to call her later today, tell her where I am,

2460
02:08:38,319 --> 02:08:39,439
explain why I'm here.

2461
02:08:40,479 --> 02:08:41,399
Speaker 25: I think she can take it.

2462
02:08:41,479 --> 02:08:42,720
Speaker 4: You're doing pretty well yourself.

2463
02:08:44,079 --> 02:08:47,119
Speaker 25: Thanks again, any word yet?

2464
02:08:47,479 --> 02:08:49,079
Speaker 4: No, No, we still can't.

2465
02:08:48,840 --> 02:08:50,840
Speaker 25: Find him, mister Webbs. Did you find him?

2466
02:08:50,960 --> 02:08:52,239
Speaker 4: Yes, he wasn't much help.

2467
02:08:53,800 --> 02:08:56,560
Speaker 26: The New England paper said that Missus Ward was out

2468
02:08:56,640 --> 02:08:59,880
of town. Sooner or later they'll find out what town

2469
02:09:00,079 --> 02:09:00,640
his Ward is in.

2470
02:09:00,760 --> 02:09:03,079
Speaker 4: I'm afraid well, maybe you'd better get another hotel, use

2471
02:09:03,079 --> 02:09:05,520
another name. Yes, all right, I'll wait to hear.

2472
02:09:05,399 --> 02:09:06,520
Speaker 25: From you, mister Donna.

2473
02:09:06,680 --> 02:09:08,439
Speaker 42: Yes, thank you.

2474
02:09:13,000 --> 02:09:15,399
Speaker 4: I put in another call who inspected Debacca and asked

2475
02:09:15,439 --> 02:09:19,880
him about developments. Valentine was still unlocated. They were covering

2476
02:09:19,960 --> 02:09:22,520
drug stores and doctor's offices where he might seek assistance.

2477
02:09:23,359 --> 02:09:26,800
The two unidentified men who had shot him were still unidentified.

2478
02:09:27,439 --> 02:09:29,399
The police weren't able to dig up any more witnesses

2479
02:09:29,479 --> 02:09:31,880
or get any line on the car. By four in

2480
02:09:31,920 --> 02:09:34,239
the afternoon, Missus Valentine had still not called me to

2481
02:09:34,279 --> 02:09:36,880
report a new address. I got worried and went over

2482
02:09:36,880 --> 02:09:38,880
to the Roosevelt to see what was what. I was

2483
02:09:38,920 --> 02:09:41,239
surprised to see inspected Obaca in the lobby talking to

2484
02:09:41,279 --> 02:09:43,680
the bell captain. All rights and remember anything else?

2485
02:09:43,760 --> 02:09:46,960
Speaker 52: Call me here, yes, sir, I sure will Hi, Hi Donna,

2486
02:09:47,680 --> 02:09:49,920
Well you want to talk first? Do you want me to?

2487
02:09:51,239 --> 02:09:55,039
All right, I'll talk first. Missus Valentine's been staying here

2488
02:09:55,119 --> 02:09:56,319
under the name of Anne Ward.

2489
02:09:56,640 --> 02:09:57,079
Speaker 4: You knew that.

2490
02:09:57,600 --> 02:09:59,760
Speaker 52: Yeah, why didn't you say anything to me, she asked me.

2491
02:09:59,800 --> 02:10:03,119
Not that doesn't make any difference now. Anyhow, that boy

2492
02:10:03,159 --> 02:10:05,560
over there called us a little while ago. He said

2493
02:10:05,560 --> 02:10:09,039
that Dan Valentine came in here this afternoon, went upstairs,

2494
02:10:09,479 --> 02:10:11,960
came back down fifteen minutes later with Missus Valentine.

2495
02:10:11,960 --> 02:10:14,159
Speaker 4: They both left together. Yeah, he must have seen the

2496
02:10:14,199 --> 02:10:16,479
story in this morning's paper and guess she was in town.

2497
02:10:16,640 --> 02:10:19,520
Speaker 52: That's the way I see it. Well, we're right back

2498
02:10:19,560 --> 02:10:22,159
where we started from. When I'm about sick of it, we're.

2499
02:10:22,039 --> 02:10:24,560
Speaker 4: A little better off. Two people are easier to find

2500
02:10:24,600 --> 02:10:31,920
than one. We found them all right at seven o'clock

2501
02:10:31,960 --> 02:10:36,239
that night, and it was easy. Three squad cars were

2502
02:10:36,279 --> 02:10:39,000
already drawn up in front of the little hotel, and

2503
02:10:39,079 --> 02:10:41,159
I noticed with a sinking heart that a hearse was

2504
02:10:41,159 --> 02:11:03,960
there also. Dan Valentine and his wife were dead. Johnny Dollar,

2505
02:11:04,319 --> 02:11:05,159
What is all this?

2506
02:11:05,239 --> 02:11:05,640
Speaker 8: Johnny?

2507
02:11:05,720 --> 02:11:06,119
Speaker 4: Who's this?

2508
02:11:06,520 --> 02:11:09,199
Speaker 8: Roy Vickers New Britton Mutual? What happened to Valentine?

2509
02:11:09,279 --> 02:11:11,479
Speaker 4: He was gunned down last night going into a hotel

2510
02:11:11,520 --> 02:11:13,800
with his wife. No, the police here are turning the

2511
02:11:13,800 --> 02:11:15,720
city upside down trying to get a line on two

2512
02:11:15,760 --> 02:11:16,760
unidentified gunmen.

2513
02:11:17,039 --> 02:11:18,119
Speaker 8: Couldn't you keep him alive?

2514
02:11:18,159 --> 02:11:19,359
Speaker 4: I couldn't even find him.

2515
02:11:19,479 --> 02:11:21,960
Speaker 8: Well, well, this is no time to be yelling at

2516
02:11:21,960 --> 02:11:23,720
each other. I just left his daughter, huh.

2517
02:11:24,000 --> 02:11:26,600
Speaker 4: She final claim already through that lawyer Webster.

2518
02:11:26,800 --> 02:11:27,199
Speaker 6: No.

2519
02:11:27,199 --> 02:11:29,239
Speaker 8: No, she didn't even know anything about him until the

2520
02:11:29,239 --> 02:11:32,920
papers broke the story. Well, I I'm sorry, I got

2521
02:11:32,960 --> 02:11:35,880
annoyed for a second. Do what you can, Johnny Hell.

2522
02:11:35,960 --> 02:11:49,039
Speaker 4: Wonderful report Sure Roy Sure expense account submitted by a

2523
02:11:49,039 --> 02:11:53,680
special investigator Johnny Dollar to the New Brinton Mutual Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut.

2524
02:11:54,039 --> 02:11:56,600
The following is a further accounting of expendit yours during

2525
02:11:56,640 --> 02:12:01,680
my investigation of the Valentine matter. It had them nine

2526
02:12:01,720 --> 02:12:05,079
seven dollars for dinner. I had it with Inspector Charles Debucca,

2527
02:12:05,119 --> 02:12:08,359
New Orleans Police. He was a haggard, tired looking man

2528
02:12:08,399 --> 02:12:12,640
about that time all of us were. He wants more coffee, No,

2529
02:12:12,640 --> 02:12:13,359
no thanks.

2530
02:12:13,840 --> 02:12:17,399
Speaker 52: Two men, both about six feet wearing dark suits and hats,

2531
02:12:17,680 --> 02:12:20,520
medium to slight bills, one possibly thirty five, the other

2532
02:12:20,560 --> 02:12:21,279
possibly forty.

2533
02:12:21,680 --> 02:12:23,640
Speaker 4: A lot about ties up with the description of the

2534
02:12:23,680 --> 02:12:26,119
two men who plugged Valentine earlier and earned him a

2535
02:12:26,159 --> 02:12:27,079
place in the hospital.

2536
02:12:27,199 --> 02:12:29,560
Speaker 52: Yeah, we got more of a chance this time, though

2537
02:12:29,800 --> 02:12:32,760
there be some other witnesses. Somebody has to tell us

2538
02:12:32,760 --> 02:12:34,439
what kind of a car they had and what direction

2539
02:12:34,520 --> 02:12:38,279
they went. One thing they weren't using silences anymore. No,

2540
02:12:38,399 --> 02:12:41,279
but they did a professional job. I think Valentine knew

2541
02:12:41,319 --> 02:12:43,279
him climbed out of that hospital bed to go out

2542
02:12:43,319 --> 02:12:43,920
looking for him.

2543
02:12:44,000 --> 02:12:46,439
Speaker 4: Sounds reasonable. How do you figure the rest of it?

2544
02:12:46,520 --> 02:12:50,039
Speaker 52: Inspector, Valentine saw the newspaper story and knew his wife

2545
02:12:50,079 --> 02:12:52,640
was in town. He went over, got it, and I

2546
02:12:52,760 --> 02:12:54,399
take it they were going to check into a new

2547
02:12:54,399 --> 02:12:56,119
hotel when their friends showed up.

2548
02:12:56,319 --> 02:12:58,439
Speaker 4: She just happened to get in the way. Huh Sure,

2549
02:12:58,520 --> 02:13:01,159
Why did anybody want to shoot her? Why would anybody

2550
02:13:01,159 --> 02:13:04,039
want to shoot him? Well, because no matter what he

2551
02:13:04,159 --> 02:13:06,359
was now or how he was playing it, he still

2552
02:13:06,399 --> 02:13:09,439
lived pretty hard way back then. Man who has lived

2553
02:13:09,439 --> 02:13:11,359
the kind of life he has and done the things

2554
02:13:11,359 --> 02:13:14,239
he is is bound to make few enemies will remember now.

2555
02:13:14,359 --> 02:13:16,079
I think it has something to do with his family.

2556
02:13:16,680 --> 02:13:19,600
I agree with you that Valentine probably made enemies all over,

2557
02:13:20,439 --> 02:13:22,119
but he wasn't the kind of man to get excited

2558
02:13:22,159 --> 02:13:24,680
about any of those kind of people. He pretty well

2559
02:13:24,760 --> 02:13:26,720
knew how to take care of himself and handle trouble.

2560
02:13:27,239 --> 02:13:29,439
That's why he was out looking for you. You sound

2561
02:13:29,520 --> 02:13:32,279
pretty certain. It seems to me that a Valentine had

2562
02:13:32,279 --> 02:13:34,520
been expecting trouble from some of the old timers. He'd

2563
02:13:34,520 --> 02:13:36,600
have carried a gun. You got a point.

2564
02:13:37,479 --> 02:13:40,439
Speaker 52: But then again, he was pretty gentled up. You know

2565
02:13:40,479 --> 02:13:42,199
how he spent most of his time painting.

2566
02:13:42,720 --> 02:13:45,279
Speaker 4: Huh. In that house he brought out in Jeffson Parish

2567
02:13:45,279 --> 02:13:47,359
has covered with pictures he's done since he's been out

2568
02:13:47,560 --> 02:13:51,640
oils pretty good too. When he wasn't painting, he was

2569
02:13:51,680 --> 02:13:52,319
listening to music.

2570
02:13:52,520 --> 02:13:52,720
Speaker 5: Huh.

2571
02:13:53,399 --> 02:13:56,359
Speaker 4: He'd hardly think of Danny Valentine taking up the arts.

2572
02:13:56,560 --> 02:14:03,159
I live. Well, I've got to make and get busy. Yeah, inspector, Yeah,

2573
02:14:03,199 --> 02:14:05,600
any objection to me going out and looking around that house,

2574
02:14:05,880 --> 02:14:09,800
it's your privilege. Personally, I'm gonna look around town for

2575
02:14:09,840 --> 02:14:12,800
a couple of gunmen. Anyone out there now is cook?

2576
02:14:12,960 --> 02:14:14,800
Speaker 52: Name's Yachino, nice woman.

2577
02:14:15,239 --> 02:14:17,159
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll keep in touch with the inspector.

2578
02:14:16,800 --> 02:14:17,199
Speaker 17: Him, do that.

2579
02:14:18,000 --> 02:14:21,800
Speaker 52: Uh dollar Now, you forgot to tell me you looked

2580
02:14:21,880 --> 02:14:24,680
up the old family lawyer, Conrad Webster the other night.

2581
02:14:25,279 --> 02:14:27,239
Speaker 4: I was trying to find Valentine the same as you.

2582
02:14:28,159 --> 02:14:30,119
Speaker 52: Well, if you happen to run into Webster again, you

2583
02:14:30,159 --> 02:14:33,359
tell him to drop in and see me. Huh, he's missing.

2584
02:14:36,520 --> 02:14:37,720
I didn't know what to say to that.

2585
02:14:37,880 --> 02:14:39,840
Speaker 4: So I left him standing there and went back to

2586
02:14:39,880 --> 02:14:42,239
my hotel and shaved, changed clothes and tried to go

2587
02:14:42,279 --> 02:14:44,800
over the whole thing in my mind. I did phone

2588
02:14:44,840 --> 02:14:46,920
into the police station and find out that the slugs

2589
02:14:46,920 --> 02:14:49,079
that had killed Valentine and his wife were from an

2590
02:14:49,119 --> 02:14:52,880
Italian make pistol around Beryl thirty seven point five caliber.

2591
02:14:53,079 --> 02:14:57,600
So far, I'm traced expense account item ten cost of

2592
02:14:57,680 --> 02:15:06,800
cab from my hotel to Danny Valentine's house and Jefferson Parish. Yes,

2593
02:15:07,039 --> 02:15:08,680
how do you do? Are you, missus Zaccino?

2594
02:15:09,319 --> 02:15:10,239
Speaker 6: Yes? Who are you?

2595
02:15:10,279 --> 02:15:10,560
Speaker 26: Please?

2596
02:15:10,640 --> 02:15:13,079
Speaker 4: My name is Johnny Dollar, Missus Yaccino. I'm from New

2597
02:15:13,119 --> 02:15:15,239
Britain Mutual Insurance Company. I'd like to talk to you

2598
02:15:15,239 --> 02:15:15,560
if I.

2599
02:15:15,520 --> 02:15:20,399
Speaker 54: May, about mister Valentine. Yes, not right now, mister Dolls

2600
02:15:20,439 --> 02:15:21,000
some of the time.

2601
02:15:21,600 --> 02:15:23,920
Speaker 4: Well, if you prefer that way, Missus Yaccino.

2602
02:15:24,039 --> 02:15:27,279
Speaker 54: But it's been a hard day here. I mean mister

2603
02:15:27,359 --> 02:15:30,359
Valentine's death, his wife has been killed with him, all

2604
02:15:30,359 --> 02:15:32,359
of these policemen in and out of here.

2605
02:15:32,359 --> 02:15:36,399
Speaker 4: Now, Missus Ward and miss Ward his daughter, Yes.

2606
02:15:36,279 --> 02:15:39,079
Speaker 26: She's a here, arrived two hours ago. She's stay here.

2607
02:15:41,279 --> 02:15:45,319
You come tomorrow, mister dalla please now tomorrow, missus Yaccino. Yes,

2608
02:15:45,439 --> 02:15:46,000
mister Ward.

2609
02:15:46,039 --> 02:15:49,239
Speaker 54: Who is it, mister Dollar, He's from the insurance company.

2610
02:15:49,319 --> 02:15:52,119
Speaker 26: Insurance company. Yes, I'd like to talk to.

2611
02:15:55,800 --> 02:15:58,399
Speaker 4: Teresa. Ward stood at the base of the iron grilled stairway,

2612
02:15:58,800 --> 02:16:02,640
tall and dark, and I saw that, like her mother,

2613
02:16:02,720 --> 02:16:05,000
she had a quiet intensity about her face that made

2614
02:16:05,000 --> 02:16:10,119
it beautiful at the same time ageless. She smiled politely

2615
02:16:10,159 --> 02:16:13,159
at me. I could only stand there without speaking for

2616
02:16:13,199 --> 02:16:17,079
a long moment, looking at her. Then missus Ciaccino excused

2617
02:16:17,079 --> 02:16:18,119
herself and we were alone.

2618
02:16:19,840 --> 02:16:21,560
Speaker 26: I wanted to talk to someone who might be able

2619
02:16:21,600 --> 02:16:23,239
to give me a little more information about all this.

2620
02:16:23,399 --> 02:16:25,079
It's all quite new to me.

2621
02:16:25,319 --> 02:16:26,720
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what I can, Miss Ward.

2622
02:16:27,880 --> 02:16:31,199
Speaker 26: My name is Valentine. Isn't it really Valentine?

2623
02:16:31,359 --> 02:16:32,239
Speaker 17: Yes? It is.

2624
02:16:33,319 --> 02:16:35,319
Speaker 26: Well, suppose we correct that mistake right now.

2625
02:16:35,520 --> 02:16:37,879
Speaker 4: Sure, there's nothing wrong with Valentine.

2626
02:16:38,280 --> 02:16:40,360
Speaker 26: From what a mister Vickers from the insurance office in

2627
02:16:40,440 --> 02:16:43,079
Hartford told me, I'm to be quite well off because

2628
02:16:43,079 --> 02:16:44,399
of this man that was murdered.

2629
02:16:44,680 --> 02:16:46,000
Speaker 4: You mean Dan Valentine.

2630
02:16:46,360 --> 02:16:51,319
Speaker 26: Yes, Dan Valentine, tell me he was my father who

2631
02:16:51,319 --> 02:16:55,680
told her Oh reporters at home and your insurance company.

2632
02:16:57,200 --> 02:17:01,959
Mother told me my name was Ward. Poor thing must

2633
02:17:01,959 --> 02:17:03,799
have been difficult for her over the years keeping the

2634
02:17:03,879 --> 02:17:04,559
secret from me.

2635
02:17:05,159 --> 02:17:06,920
Speaker 4: Yes, she told me she thought it was the best

2636
02:17:06,959 --> 02:17:09,840
thing she uh, well, the same.

2637
02:17:09,680 --> 02:17:14,120
Speaker 26: As he did tell me about my father. Was he

2638
02:17:14,200 --> 02:17:14,799
a bad man?

2639
02:17:15,520 --> 02:17:15,879
Speaker 6: Oh?

2640
02:17:16,479 --> 02:17:19,200
Speaker 4: As good or as bad as the Volsted Act made people.

2641
02:17:19,760 --> 02:17:21,159
I only met him a couple of times.

2642
02:17:22,479 --> 02:17:25,280
Speaker 26: Awaken one morning and discover that you're the only daughter

2643
02:17:25,280 --> 02:17:27,280
of a famous racketeer who's been murdered.

2644
02:17:28,440 --> 02:17:30,319
Speaker 4: Look, miss Ward, if he had anything to do with

2645
02:17:30,360 --> 02:17:33,399
the way you turned out, with what you seem to

2646
02:17:33,399 --> 02:17:37,559
possess within yourself, I'd say offhand that whatever he was

2647
02:17:37,719 --> 02:17:42,760
or did he thought of you, are you flattering me?

2648
02:17:43,000 --> 02:17:46,440
I'm not trying to. You seem like a very nice person.

2649
02:17:46,600 --> 02:17:49,360
Speaker 26: And so do you, mister Donner. Will you tell me

2650
02:17:49,399 --> 02:17:50,399
all about this please?

2651
02:17:51,200 --> 02:17:53,840
Speaker 4: Well, let's see. You're twenty one, isn't that right? Yes,

2652
02:17:55,000 --> 02:17:57,239
Just about fifteen years ago or so, your father was

2653
02:17:57,280 --> 02:18:01,200
on trial for income tax evation. Just before he was convicted,

2654
02:18:01,239 --> 02:18:03,479
he set up a trust fund with my insurance company

2655
02:18:03,520 --> 02:18:06,319
to provide for you. It's been paying money for your

2656
02:18:06,319 --> 02:18:10,159
support and education ever since. According to the terms of

2657
02:18:10,200 --> 02:18:12,399
the trust, all of the money becomes yours. Now that

2658
02:18:12,440 --> 02:18:15,440
your mother and father are dead, it comes to well

2659
02:18:15,479 --> 02:18:17,280
over a fifty thousand dollars.

2660
02:18:18,920 --> 02:18:23,840
Speaker 26: That's all there is to it. I suppose I'm grateful

2661
02:18:23,879 --> 02:18:27,239
to him. I suppose I should be grateful. I can't

2662
02:18:27,239 --> 02:18:29,840
say that I'm particularly sorry about his death anymore than

2663
02:18:29,840 --> 02:18:33,159
I would be if any other human being died violently somewhere.

2664
02:18:35,200 --> 02:18:38,000
But about mother's death, I.

2665
02:18:38,000 --> 02:18:39,520
Speaker 43: Miss her very much already, mister.

2666
02:18:46,120 --> 02:18:48,840
Speaker 4: She was holding up pretty well until that point. Then

2667
02:18:48,879 --> 02:18:51,879
she let go. I held her in my arms and

2668
02:18:51,920 --> 02:18:54,639
I talked to her. I told her what I knew

2669
02:18:54,639 --> 02:18:57,680
of her father's life and death. She told me how

2670
02:18:57,680 --> 02:18:59,840
she'd been reared so far removed from anything that might

2671
02:18:59,879 --> 02:19:03,840
have connected her in the least way with a Valentine name. Altogether,

2672
02:19:03,879 --> 02:19:07,000
it was a revealing conversation for both of us. Missusioccino

2673
02:19:07,040 --> 02:19:08,200
brought us some food and wine.

2674
02:19:09,760 --> 02:19:10,840
Speaker 26: How long will you been New.

2675
02:19:10,799 --> 02:19:13,120
Speaker 4: Orleans until all of this is straightened out?

2676
02:19:13,719 --> 02:19:15,520
Speaker 26: I mean, until they find out who killed my mother

2677
02:19:15,559 --> 02:19:15,920
and father?

2678
02:19:16,159 --> 02:19:18,200
Speaker 4: Yes, how about you?

2679
02:19:19,120 --> 02:19:22,680
Speaker 26: Oh? I really don't know. After the funerals, I suppose

2680
02:19:22,719 --> 02:19:26,079
I'll go back. But I wanted to see him, to

2681
02:19:26,120 --> 02:19:28,200
see what he looked like what kind of life he led?

2682
02:19:29,520 --> 02:19:33,600
He was just an ordinary man, wasn't he? You seen

2683
02:19:33,600 --> 02:19:34,479
these pictures before?

2684
02:19:34,959 --> 02:19:38,000
Speaker 4: No, this is my first time in the house. Looked

2685
02:19:38,000 --> 02:19:40,920
like Italian landscapes to me, very good.

2686
02:19:42,440 --> 02:19:45,000
Speaker 26: Must have been something he had with mother. She was

2687
02:19:45,040 --> 02:19:45,600
from Italy.

2688
02:19:47,120 --> 02:19:48,120
Speaker 4: May I ask you something?

2689
02:19:49,440 --> 02:19:49,719
Speaker 18: Yes?

2690
02:19:51,399 --> 02:19:52,520
Speaker 4: How do you feel about him?

2691
02:19:52,559 --> 02:19:52,879
Speaker 35: Now?

2692
02:19:54,479 --> 02:19:55,479
Speaker 26: Is this for your report?

2693
02:19:56,000 --> 02:19:56,760
Speaker 4: For myself?

2694
02:19:58,520 --> 02:20:02,799
Speaker 26: Since you've been here these last two hours, I began

2695
02:20:02,879 --> 02:20:05,479
to think of him for what he was my father.

2696
02:20:05,559 --> 02:20:09,000
I mean, I'd like to know why he was killed

2697
02:20:09,000 --> 02:20:12,680
and who did it? Will I see you again?

2698
02:20:13,040 --> 02:20:19,680
Speaker 4: I hope so, Terry, Yes, I hope so very much.

2699
02:20:21,000 --> 02:20:25,440
Speaker 26: So do I Johnny.

2700
02:20:28,959 --> 02:20:30,520
Speaker 4: I left her at the door that night with a

2701
02:20:30,520 --> 02:20:34,319
warm sensation inside of me, something I certainly hadn't expected

2702
02:20:34,319 --> 02:20:42,680
in the business at hand. The next morning, I was

2703
02:20:42,719 --> 02:20:45,280
back at the house talking to missus Yccino. She gave

2704
02:20:45,319 --> 02:20:48,479
me all the information she could remember about Valentine's activities,

2705
02:20:49,360 --> 02:20:52,040
all of it accurate, but lacking in any possible clue

2706
02:20:52,079 --> 02:20:54,000
as to the identity of the two men who had

2707
02:20:54,079 --> 02:20:57,040
killed him and his wife. I had breakfast with Terry

2708
02:20:57,079 --> 02:21:00,280
there and helped you with funeral arrangements, then spent a

2709
02:21:00,280 --> 02:21:03,079
solid twelve hours with inspected Tobacca, who had still not

2710
02:21:03,159 --> 02:21:06,799
located or identified the two mysterious men. However, there were

2711
02:21:06,840 --> 02:21:09,079
other developments. This may be something.

2712
02:21:09,159 --> 02:21:13,239
Speaker 52: Johnny oh Comrad Webster has been found huh up by

2713
02:21:13,319 --> 02:21:16,440
Lake punch train just identified him. He was shot to

2714
02:21:16,479 --> 02:21:19,760
death with a thirty seven point five Italian gunyah, just

2715
02:21:19,920 --> 02:21:25,360
like the one that killed Dan Valentine in his way.

2716
02:21:27,200 --> 02:21:29,840
It later developed that the slugs taken from Webster's body,

2717
02:21:29,879 --> 02:21:32,200
when compared with those that had killed the Valentines, were

2718
02:21:32,239 --> 02:21:33,319
fired from the same weapon.

2719
02:21:34,000 --> 02:21:37,840
Speaker 4: The case took on proportions. Every available bit of information

2720
02:21:37,920 --> 02:21:41,239
regarding the two X big Shots of the twenties was located,

2721
02:21:41,319 --> 02:21:45,479
red and reread. It meant activity in cities like Saint Louis, Chicago, Detroit,

2722
02:21:45,520 --> 02:21:48,399
and New York, but no new information as to the

2723
02:21:48,440 --> 02:21:54,399
identity of the killers. I went back to the house here,

2724
02:21:54,479 --> 02:21:55,639
what is this you're shaking?

2725
02:21:59,319 --> 02:22:01,959
Speaker 43: I suppose being a terrible for about old Johnny, but

2726
02:22:01,959 --> 02:22:06,159
they've been after me all day. Cheap little things newspaper

2727
02:22:06,159 --> 02:22:08,680
sending it wants me to write my exclusive story as

2728
02:22:08,680 --> 02:22:12,399
the shadowed daughter of Dan Valentine, fairy Princess.

2729
02:22:12,000 --> 02:22:12,520
Speaker 5: Of a racket.

2730
02:22:12,520 --> 02:22:14,959
Speaker 26: Two take it ease, take it easy, even I.

2731
02:22:15,000 --> 02:22:19,520
Speaker 43: Would call a producer. Oh, Johnny, I shouldn't have come

2732
02:22:19,520 --> 02:22:19,959
here at all.

2733
02:22:20,959 --> 02:22:22,319
Speaker 4: Then what would I have done, Terry?

2734
02:22:23,879 --> 02:22:27,879
Speaker 26: What would I have done? You get yourself a drink, Johnny,

2735
02:22:27,879 --> 02:22:29,040
I'll go put on a new face.

2736
02:22:34,719 --> 02:22:36,760
Speaker 4: It had become apparent to me in the short time

2737
02:22:36,760 --> 02:22:38,920
I'd known her that she'd grown to love the memory

2738
02:22:38,920 --> 02:22:42,000
of her father, also that the pressure of all that

2739
02:22:42,040 --> 02:22:43,879
had happened was beginning to take its toll on her.

2740
02:22:44,879 --> 02:22:47,360
We were walking down the gravel path away from the house.

2741
02:22:47,799 --> 02:22:51,079
She was quieted down. I suppose I was thinking how

2742
02:22:51,159 --> 02:22:54,200
nice it would be to kiss her. I twisted trying

2743
02:22:54,239 --> 02:22:56,239
for the gun inside my pocket, but there was nobody

2744
02:22:56,239 --> 02:22:58,319
to shoot at. The two men who had fired the

2745
02:22:58,360 --> 02:23:01,120
guns were already out of sight. I was alone with

2746
02:23:01,200 --> 02:23:04,440
Terry Valentine, who was hanging on the gate. I caught

2747
02:23:04,440 --> 02:23:15,399
her before she fell. She was dead before I could ence.

2748
02:23:33,120 --> 02:23:35,799
Johnny Della, Hey, what are you doing at the Valentine house.

2749
02:23:35,879 --> 02:23:38,159
Get a car out here, quick, Inspector. Terry Valentine has

2750
02:23:38,200 --> 02:23:39,559
just been shot. Two guys showed up.

2751
02:23:39,639 --> 02:23:41,879
Speaker 8: Down, slow down. When doll this happened.

2752
02:23:41,559 --> 02:23:44,959
Speaker 4: A few seconds ago, eminently good Tobacca. She died in

2753
02:23:45,000 --> 02:23:45,479
my arms.

2754
02:23:46,840 --> 02:23:47,920
Speaker 8: Do you think they're still around there?

2755
02:23:47,959 --> 02:23:49,120
Speaker 4: They must be. I'm going looking.

2756
02:23:49,239 --> 02:23:50,959
Speaker 8: Wait a minute, Wait a minute, this is a police matter.

2757
02:23:51,000 --> 02:23:51,680
Speaker 4: You stay putt.

2758
02:23:51,760 --> 02:23:54,680
Speaker 8: I'll have a car. Then five minutes and you can. Johnny,

2759
02:23:55,079 --> 02:23:58,120
I heard that you're gone. Now look you're all around up.

2760
02:23:58,159 --> 02:23:58,799
Don't do anything.

2761
02:24:07,520 --> 02:24:11,280
Speaker 4: Expense account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the

2762
02:24:11,319 --> 02:24:15,040
New Britain Mutual Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is

2763
02:24:15,040 --> 02:24:17,920
an accounting of further expenditures during my investigation of the

2764
02:24:17,959 --> 02:24:23,520
Valentine matter. Dan Valentine ex gangster and of course your

2765
02:24:23,600 --> 02:24:27,799
policy holder. But then his wife was killed two then

2766
02:24:27,840 --> 02:24:34,120
his lawyer, then his daughter, the girl that I thirty

2767
02:24:34,159 --> 02:24:36,559
seconds after Terry Valentine died in my arms. I was

2768
02:24:36,559 --> 02:24:38,680
stumbling down the gravel path that led from her house

2769
02:24:38,680 --> 02:24:41,559
to the road. It all happened so suddenly. I can't

2770
02:24:41,600 --> 02:24:43,200
say that what I did from there on or what

2771
02:24:43,239 --> 02:24:46,120
I felt was entirely rational. All I know is I

2772
02:24:46,159 --> 02:24:48,239
hadn't heard a car leave the area, which meant the

2773
02:24:48,239 --> 02:24:51,120
two killers were still somewhere nearby. Then in the dim

2774
02:24:51,200 --> 02:24:56,840
light I saw the car. A man was climbing into it. Hey, hey,

2775
02:24:56,879 --> 02:25:03,840
stop stop row shot stop.

2776
02:25:15,159 --> 02:25:17,440
Speaker 23: Get out of there. Get out of there and get

2777
02:25:17,479 --> 02:25:18,040
your hands up.

2778
02:25:20,280 --> 02:25:20,799
Speaker 4: I'm a hit.

2779
02:25:21,440 --> 02:25:22,280
Speaker 53: I'm afraid to move.

2780
02:25:22,319 --> 02:25:26,280
Speaker 4: Come on, get out, tron. I'm coming on coming yo too, Come.

Speaker 42: On, come on, no you son him, mister used up.

2782
02:25:29,959 --> 02:25:31,000
Speaker 4: You've got him real good.

02:25:33,200 --> 02:25:34,079
Speaker 47: I need a doctor.

2784
02:25:34,799 --> 02:25:35,520
Speaker 6: Help me get to it.

2785
02:25:35,840 --> 02:25:36,920
Speaker 4: Right there, Doc.

2786
02:25:36,799 --> 02:25:37,479
Speaker 23: Sands till.

2787
02:25:39,000 --> 02:25:40,159
Speaker 4: You pretty tough fella?

2788
02:25:40,239 --> 02:25:40,840
Speaker 23: What's your name?

2789
02:25:41,600 --> 02:25:42,479
Speaker 17: She just know what?

2790
02:25:43,079 --> 02:25:44,079
Speaker 42: It's good enough for you.

2791
02:25:44,159 --> 02:25:46,399
Speaker 51: I need a doctor, bad listen.

2792
02:25:47,399 --> 02:25:49,760
Speaker 4: Tell it to me. Tell it to me right now.

2793
02:25:50,479 --> 02:25:52,040
If you don't tell it to me now, you'll never

2794
02:25:52,079 --> 02:25:52,840
tell it to anybody.

2795
02:25:52,879 --> 02:25:53,200
Speaker 8: Tell it.

2796
02:25:53,239 --> 02:25:53,399
Speaker 29: You know.

2797
02:25:54,360 --> 02:25:55,120
Speaker 53: I need doctor.

2798
02:25:55,280 --> 02:25:56,399
Speaker 37: Tell it.

2799
02:25:56,959 --> 02:26:05,440
Speaker 4: I die first. Johnny, Johnny, what is this? Who's he?

2800
02:26:05,440 --> 02:26:06,360
Speaker 6: He's gonna kill me.

2801
02:26:06,479 --> 02:26:07,280
Speaker 53: He's got to kidded me.

2802
02:26:07,479 --> 02:26:11,719
Speaker 52: You better give me that gun, Johnny stay, will take careim. Thanks.

2803
02:26:12,840 --> 02:26:15,920
Speaker 4: I should have done it. I wanted to do it,

2804
02:26:16,200 --> 02:26:18,600
I know, sir. Come on, let's get out of here.

2805
02:26:22,479 --> 02:26:25,319
But I didn't get out of there. I waited around

2806
02:26:25,319 --> 02:26:26,879
while they dug the body of the other man out

2807
02:26:26,879 --> 02:26:29,440
of the smashed up car, and while they carried the

2808
02:26:29,479 --> 02:26:33,319
still limp form of Teresa Valentine away. She was the

2809
02:26:33,360 --> 02:26:35,840
third member of the family who had died violently within

2810
02:26:35,920 --> 02:26:48,799
three days. I'm sorry about it, Donna, Inspector. I was

2811
02:26:48,799 --> 02:26:52,319
hoping I might have been wrong, but she wasn't dead. Oh,

2812
02:26:52,399 --> 02:26:55,120
you weren't wrong. Which one shut her?

2813
02:26:56,040 --> 02:26:56,239
Speaker 17: Huh?

2814
02:26:56,440 --> 02:26:58,399
Speaker 4: The dead one or the one we still got in

2815
02:26:58,399 --> 02:27:01,319
the hospital. Oh, I don't know both of them. I

2816
02:27:01,360 --> 02:27:04,399
guess you don't feel like talking about I'm just trying

2817
02:27:04,440 --> 02:27:05,079
to pin it down.

2818
02:27:05,399 --> 02:27:08,360
Speaker 52: What about him? Can't get much out of him so far.

2819
02:27:08,680 --> 02:27:09,799
He's in pretty bad shape.

2820
02:27:09,879 --> 02:27:13,040
Speaker 4: Let me ask him some questions, Inspector. I'm no police officer.

2821
02:27:13,079 --> 02:27:15,360
I don't have to obey any rules. Takes it easy, kid.

2822
02:27:15,520 --> 02:27:17,239
Speaker 52: You were about to do that once and we'd be

2823
02:27:17,280 --> 02:27:19,639
holding you for murder if you're going ahead. I know

2824
02:27:19,719 --> 02:27:23,799
how you feel about Rasa Valentine. Has he said anything

2825
02:27:23,799 --> 02:27:24,079
at all?

2826
02:27:24,159 --> 02:27:24,479
Speaker 4: Nothing?

2827
02:27:24,680 --> 02:27:26,360
Speaker 52: We found papers on him and the other one that

2828
02:27:26,479 --> 02:27:29,760
makes some brothers, sister and Darby Chanity in New York.

2829
02:27:30,559 --> 02:27:32,680
So far, it doesn't seem to be any connection with

2830
02:27:32,760 --> 02:27:37,360
the Valentines. People like Valentine make a lot of enemies,

2831
02:27:38,120 --> 02:27:42,399
but that girl doesn't figure. Yeah, I know you talked

2832
02:27:42,399 --> 02:27:44,200
to her a lot. He's least couple of days. Johnny

2833
02:27:44,559 --> 02:27:45,159
what you say.

2834
02:27:45,799 --> 02:27:49,079
Speaker 4: Oh, nothing that had anything to do with this. You

2835
02:27:49,159 --> 02:27:51,440
know yourself. She didn't even know her name was Valentine

2836
02:27:51,479 --> 02:27:53,520
until her father got shot at Yeah, it could have

2837
02:27:53,520 --> 02:27:55,840
been an act and you could have been twenty feet tall,

2838
02:27:56,040 --> 02:27:58,559
just trying trying with that punk you got upstairs in

2839
02:27:58,600 --> 02:27:59,120
the hospital.

2840
02:27:59,559 --> 02:28:17,239
Speaker 52: We will Johnny, we will just Johnny your bad news.

2841
02:28:17,319 --> 02:28:21,920
Maybe I spoke too soon. Why sister Cianny died five

2842
02:28:21,920 --> 02:28:22,760
minutes ago?

2843
02:28:26,920 --> 02:28:30,200
Speaker 4: Expense account I had of ten ten bucks, carratt. I

2844
02:28:30,200 --> 02:28:35,680
went out to the Valentine house once more. Oh, mister

2845
02:28:35,760 --> 02:28:36,920
don hello missus yet.

2846
02:28:36,879 --> 02:28:42,360
Speaker 54: You know please, so many police and so many reporters.

2847
02:28:43,000 --> 02:28:44,479
Speaker 26: I've been trying to close the house.

2848
02:28:44,559 --> 02:28:50,120
Speaker 54: Sure, I know how you must feel, I mean about her.

2849
02:28:50,719 --> 02:28:53,799
Speaker 26: Yeah, what are these cis?

2850
02:28:54,200 --> 02:28:56,399
Speaker 4: Well, we don't know much about them yet. The New

2851
02:28:56,479 --> 02:29:00,000
York Police is still doing a rundown on them. Don't

2852
02:29:00,040 --> 02:29:01,959
let me stop you. Whatever you're doing. I'll just look

2853
02:29:02,000 --> 02:29:03,079
around if you don't mind.

2854
02:29:02,920 --> 02:29:03,719
Speaker 42: It all right?

2855
02:29:04,159 --> 02:29:07,920
Speaker 4: Oh, well, one thing, Yes, did mister Valentine make any

2856
02:29:07,920 --> 02:29:08,559
provision for you?

2857
02:29:09,559 --> 02:29:09,840
Speaker 17: Yeah?

2858
02:29:10,680 --> 02:29:14,399
Speaker 26: He thought a thousand dollars.

2859
02:29:15,639 --> 02:29:19,799
Speaker 44: Whatever he was the man I knew was kind and good,

2860
02:29:21,079 --> 02:29:28,000
and he scenes had been forgiven him.

2861
02:29:28,280 --> 02:29:30,399
Speaker 4: I spent two hours or better than going from room

2862
02:29:30,440 --> 02:29:34,200
to rome looking at the oils that Dan Valentine had painted.

2863
02:29:35,440 --> 02:29:40,319
Pastoral scenes, happy scenes, gay scenes, all of them with

2864
02:29:40,479 --> 02:29:44,520
colorful Italian backgrounds. I was thinking about that when I

2865
02:29:44,520 --> 02:29:47,840
walked into Inspected Debacca's office late that afternoon. I don't

2866
02:29:47,879 --> 02:29:49,600
get it, Johnny, don't get what here.

2867
02:29:50,120 --> 02:29:52,760
Speaker 52: It came from New York on the Chandy boys. Oh,

2868
02:29:52,840 --> 02:29:54,520
they came to this country when they were eighteen and

2869
02:29:54,559 --> 02:29:57,079
twenty one. Both of them were naturalized citizens, live with

2870
02:29:57,120 --> 02:29:58,120
their father records.

2871
02:29:58,159 --> 02:30:00,760
Speaker 4: Not a thing, no trouble ever. What else that's about it?

2872
02:30:01,239 --> 02:30:03,680
New York police can't seem to locate the old man

2873
02:30:04,239 --> 02:30:06,840
disappeared about a week ago, lived on the side. What's

2874
02:30:06,879 --> 02:30:07,399
about him?

2875
02:30:07,719 --> 02:30:10,120
Speaker 52: That's another funny thing. He's taken out his papers and

2876
02:30:10,239 --> 02:30:12,600
was due for an examination with the immigration people this week.

2877
02:30:12,760 --> 02:30:13,719
They're looking for him too.

2878
02:30:19,399 --> 02:30:21,399
Speaker 4: We went out and had dinner together and talked about

2879
02:30:21,440 --> 02:30:25,040
the case. It had been a strange one. The deaths

2880
02:30:25,079 --> 02:30:29,799
were useless, the motives unknown. I parted company with Inspector

2881
02:30:29,799 --> 02:30:31,879
Tobacca and went back to my hotel to trouble it out.

2882
02:30:31,920 --> 02:30:34,440
Was sleep about eleven o'clock. I had a phone call.

2883
02:30:36,479 --> 02:30:37,959
Johnny Dollar is Debacca.

2884
02:30:38,319 --> 02:30:40,559
Speaker 8: Old man Chatty just showed up, but I saidy Mark

2885
02:30:40,600 --> 02:30:42,159
and wants to take his two cents back to New

2886
02:30:42,239 --> 02:30:42,920
York for burial.

2887
02:30:46,559 --> 02:30:48,799
Speaker 4: Twenty minutes later, I was standing in the corner's office

2888
02:30:48,799 --> 02:30:51,360
while inspected. Tobacca led a small, wizened old man into

2889
02:30:51,399 --> 02:30:53,840
the room and sat him down at one of the chairs.

2890
02:30:54,319 --> 02:30:58,879
It's Channy, it's mister Donna. How do you do, mister Channy?

2891
02:31:00,040 --> 02:31:03,479
Speaker 47: I read about you. You killed my boys?

2892
02:31:04,879 --> 02:31:09,319
Speaker 4: Sure, yes, they'd killed four other people, No I know,

2893
02:31:10,760 --> 02:31:15,479
But why did they kill the Valentine family? Mister Chanty?

2894
02:31:15,799 --> 02:31:19,319
Why did they kill Conrad Webster the lawyer? Do you

2895
02:31:19,479 --> 02:31:20,879
know why?

2896
02:31:21,360 --> 02:31:21,440
Speaker 6: She?

2897
02:31:22,879 --> 02:31:23,319
Speaker 47: I know?

2898
02:31:23,719 --> 02:31:27,639
Speaker 4: Then tell me they're all dead now.

2899
02:31:30,319 --> 02:31:31,559
Speaker 17: I am.

2900
02:31:32,120 --> 02:31:34,319
Speaker 47: I was still alive for mister Dollar.

2901
02:31:37,639 --> 02:31:39,760
Speaker 4: He refused to talk about his sons or any of

2902
02:31:39,799 --> 02:31:44,000
their activities. Debacca held him to answer to the immigration officials.

2903
02:31:44,600 --> 02:31:47,040
He remained in his cell, silent and non committed to

2904
02:31:47,079 --> 02:31:51,360
all visitors, including the chaplain. I appeared before the coroner's

2905
02:31:51,399 --> 02:31:54,479
jury the following morning, was clear of any charges. Pietro

2906
02:31:54,600 --> 02:31:58,079
Chianti still had said nothing, and he looked at me

2907
02:31:58,200 --> 02:32:00,719
as though he was going to keep on saying nothing

2908
02:32:01,600 --> 02:32:03,120
a chanty.

2909
02:32:04,120 --> 02:32:07,799
Speaker 47: I see you, mister, more questions.

2910
02:32:08,559 --> 02:32:10,479
Speaker 4: Dan Valentine's wife was your daughter?

2911
02:32:10,600 --> 02:32:11,040
Speaker 8: Wasn't she?

2912
02:32:12,399 --> 02:32:15,440
Speaker 4: Wasn't she? All right? You don't have to admit it.

2913
02:32:15,479 --> 02:32:17,280
I have a copy of the marriage license right here.

2914
02:32:17,319 --> 02:32:18,600
It came from New York this morning.

2915
02:32:20,079 --> 02:32:21,399
Speaker 47: She was my daughter?

2916
02:32:22,760 --> 02:32:24,079
Speaker 4: Is that all you have to say? Now?

2917
02:32:24,360 --> 02:32:25,360
Speaker 18: I had no talk.

2918
02:32:26,280 --> 02:32:30,159
Speaker 4: Then I will, mister Chandy, because your daughter, Missus Valentine,

2919
02:32:30,159 --> 02:32:34,120
had a daughter herself, Teresa, a lovely, wonderful girl that

2920
02:32:34,200 --> 02:32:37,200
your two sons killed. I happen to know that girl.

2921
02:32:38,280 --> 02:32:39,639
I might have been in love with her. I don't know,

2922
02:32:40,600 --> 02:32:41,399
but I do know.

2923
02:32:41,399 --> 02:32:48,440
Speaker 55: She had to die too. What this ship, Conrad Webster,

2924
02:32:49,239 --> 02:32:55,120
mister Valentine, and my own daughter and granddaughter had to die?

2925
02:32:55,879 --> 02:32:57,159
Speaker 47: All bad?

2926
02:32:58,120 --> 02:33:02,120
Speaker 4: You see?

2927
02:33:02,520 --> 02:33:03,360
Speaker 16: I order it?

2928
02:33:04,799 --> 02:33:06,040
Speaker 17: You ordered it?

2929
02:33:07,600 --> 02:33:11,200
Speaker 4: And who are you God? I am of the father.

2930
02:33:13,000 --> 02:33:17,559
Speaker 55: When a dollar marries a bad man, only bad can

2931
02:33:17,639 --> 02:33:23,840
come from it. The granddaughter was lenbad. He come to

2932
02:33:23,920 --> 02:33:29,559
our village many years ago, take her away. He and

2933
02:33:29,639 --> 02:33:31,399
the man Webster help him.

2934
02:33:32,479 --> 02:33:33,479
Speaker 17: It.

2935
02:33:33,479 --> 02:33:36,959
Speaker 55: It lived with me, his stealing over my own of

2936
02:33:37,079 --> 02:33:41,639
flesh and blood. All this time it grow inside me.

2937
02:33:43,159 --> 02:33:47,399
I am old, but I keep on living only so

2938
02:33:47,520 --> 02:33:50,879
I can come here and find him and destroy him

2939
02:33:51,440 --> 02:33:55,159
and her and the daughter and the lawyer of man

2940
02:33:55,239 --> 02:33:59,840
who help him, and I destroyed them through my sons,

2941
02:34:01,120 --> 02:34:02,000
a whole family.

2942
02:34:03,200 --> 02:34:05,319
Speaker 4: Vendetta was that it.

2943
02:34:08,120 --> 02:34:14,159
Speaker 55: If you like Bendetta, he was a bad man who

2944
02:34:14,200 --> 02:34:15,959
did bad things.

2945
02:34:17,239 --> 02:34:17,840
Speaker 18: Bad man.

2946
02:34:22,360 --> 02:34:28,639
Speaker 47: Okay, I smoke, Now you have a sigatto.

2947
02:34:33,040 --> 02:34:35,319
Speaker 4: The disposition of old Pietro Cianti is up to the

2948
02:34:35,319 --> 02:34:39,040
immigration department. I didn't stay around New Orleans to learn

2949
02:34:39,040 --> 02:34:41,479

2957
02:35:13,040 --> 02:35:16,440
Whenever I close my eyes, I can see a lovely

2958
02:35:16,520 --> 02:35:19,319
girl standing at the bottom of a long curving stairway,

2959
02:35:20,399 --> 02:35:26,959
smiling because I'm in the room. That's all yours truly,

2960
02:35:27,399 --> 02:35:28,000
Johnny Dollar.

exciting story of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. Roy Rowan speaking.

2974
02:37:45,120 --> 02:37:46,159
Speaker 1: Welcome back.

2975
02:37:46,719 --> 02:37:46,920
Speaker 6: Well.

2976
02:37:46,959 --> 02:37:52,159
Speaker 1: There are a few notes here. It's interesting that both

2977
02:37:52,239 --> 02:37:57,319
the thirty minute and the serialized version featured Geneavello, although

2978
02:37:57,360 --> 02:38:02,719
in different roles, as the fall in the San Antonio

2979
02:38:02,799 --> 02:38:07,399
Matter and the lawyer in the Valentine Matter. The Valentine

2980
02:38:07,440 --> 02:38:14,520
Matter combines ideas and plots from the previous stories and

2981
02:38:14,600 --> 02:38:20,079
combines them together while adding its own unique spand there's

2982
02:38:20,280 --> 02:38:24,239
a great performance in this from Virginia greg and of

2983
02:38:24,280 --> 02:38:29,200
course Bob Bailey. But it also reflects very clearly some

2984
02:38:30,399 --> 02:38:35,760
different storytelling approaches. I think that the biggest thing I

2985
02:38:35,799 --> 02:38:39,280
would say about the Valentine Matter is that it is

2986
02:38:39,479 --> 02:38:44,799
a much more emotionally charged story. And there are some

2987
02:38:44,959 --> 02:38:49,799
subtle changes, such as this is the only version in

2988
02:38:49,840 --> 02:38:54,159
which the gangster's wife is alive, but she's killed, which

2989
02:38:54,200 --> 02:38:58,719
means that Teresa not only is dealing with the loss

2990
02:38:58,719 --> 02:39:02,079
of the father that she never knew, but also the

2991
02:39:02,200 --> 02:39:06,959
loss of her mother who's been there her whole life.

2992
02:39:07,600 --> 02:39:11,399
And then you have the final part, which is far

2993
02:39:11,520 --> 02:39:14,959
more intense than what you get in the San Antonio matter.

2994
02:39:15,799 --> 02:39:18,920
I mean that opening is one of my favorite old

2995
02:39:18,959 --> 02:39:23,079
time radio openings. Even though I know if you try

2996
02:39:23,120 --> 02:39:26,600
to make the chronology of how this happened in the

2997
02:39:26,680 --> 02:39:31,040
episode makes sense, it does begin to seem a little

2998
02:39:31,079 --> 02:39:37,280
bit absurd, like Johnny compulsively answers the ringing telephone while

2999
02:39:37,399 --> 02:39:41,719
chasing the people who shot down a woman he cared

3000
02:39:41,760 --> 02:39:46,799
about greatly. But it works dramatically. I love it draadically,

3001
02:39:47,280 --> 02:39:54,079
and the whole tenor is just so much more intense.

3002
02:39:54,319 --> 02:40:01,280
I think the confrontation with the Suns, and even when

3003
02:40:01,920 --> 02:40:06,680
you get to the part where Johnny is confronting the father,

3004
02:40:07,319 --> 02:40:11,959
it was much more understated. In the San Antonio matter,

3005
02:40:12,239 --> 02:40:16,680
the material Bailey is given to work with is great.

3006
02:40:17,239 --> 02:40:21,680
I mean, the way that he delivers that line, who

3007
02:40:21,799 --> 02:40:23,200
do you think you are?

3008
02:40:23,840 --> 02:40:25,639
Speaker 25: God? Is?

3009
02:40:26,159 --> 02:40:31,559
Speaker 1: You know, it's original to the Valentine matter, and again,

3010
02:40:31,760 --> 02:40:37,280
it just makes it such a powerful story. And you

3011
02:40:37,319 --> 02:40:41,360
can argue over which approach was better. But to me,

3012
02:40:41,479 --> 02:40:45,959
the Valentine manor leaves more of an impression. But then again,

3013
02:40:46,040 --> 02:40:51,120
your knowledge may vary, but it definitely shows a difference

3014
02:40:51,280 --> 02:40:56,280
in how Johnstone would approach a story versus Jim Delvai

3015
02:40:56,559 --> 02:41:00,600
in terms of what he was going for and what

3016
02:41:00,760 --> 02:41:04,799
went out on the air. It's a fascinating comparison, and

3017
02:41:04,840 --> 02:41:10,600
it's just interesting to see how elements from not Mate

3018
02:41:11,360 --> 02:41:14,920
and the other stories were kind of weaved in and

3019
02:41:15,079 --> 02:41:20,079
mixed together to create this overall feel while still making

3020
02:41:20,120 --> 02:41:24,120
it work within the confines of the five part Johnny

3021
02:41:24,159 --> 02:41:28,600
Doller story. I did also have an experience just listening

3022
02:41:28,639 --> 02:41:32,280
to this, because I've listened to the Valentine matter several

3023
02:41:32,399 --> 02:41:37,520
times and I'd never noticed before. But in the first

3024
02:41:37,559 --> 02:41:42,200
time that Debaca is talking to Johnny, he says that

3025
02:41:42,360 --> 02:41:46,719
Valentine all he does essentially is go fishing every day,

3026
02:41:47,120 --> 02:41:49,600
and then towards the end of the story, he says, well,

3027
02:41:49,719 --> 02:41:55,040
Valentine spends all of his time painting or listening to music.

3028
02:41:55,239 --> 02:41:58,840
No mention a fishing, which may be an indicator to

3029
02:41:59,200 --> 02:42:03,600
the This is still relatively early in the serial run

3030
02:42:03,799 --> 02:42:06,079
that there may have been a bit of rushing, and

3031
02:42:06,079 --> 02:42:09,600
that's one of those sort of continuity things that could

3032
02:42:09,680 --> 02:42:14,639
be missed when they were trying to make these stories

3033
02:42:14,799 --> 02:42:19,399
work as five parters on the radio program. But at

3034
02:42:19,440 --> 02:42:22,360
any rate, I hope you found this a fascinating a

3035
02:42:22,479 --> 02:42:28,360
comparison and enjoyed finding out how these particular stories mixed together.

3036
02:42:28,959 --> 02:42:31,920
