00:01:53.079 --> 00:01:55.760
<v Speaker 2>What was left of your policy holder, Mister Perry was

27
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.079
<v Speaker 2>just sliding out of his swivel chair as I hit

28
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.719
<v Speaker 2>the room. At the top of his desk get erupted

29
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:03.959
<v Speaker 2>and split the mahogan. He pointed their sharp fingers.

30
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:07.040
<v Speaker 3>Upward through lazy circles of smoke swirling toward the ceiling.

31
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.439
<v Speaker 3>The buzzer from his secretary's desk had been rigged to

32
00:02:10.479 --> 00:02:15.280
<v Speaker 3>a booby trap. No, mister Parris, they away from him.

33
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:16.879
<v Speaker 3>There's nothing you can do for him. He's dead.

34
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:21.080
<v Speaker 5>What happened, What happened? Whatever happened?

35
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:26.439
<v Speaker 2>Come on, let's look it back out of here. Hey, Irna,

36
00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:37.800
<v Speaker 2>sit down, I'll get you a drink of water. Here

37
00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:44.759
<v Speaker 2>you are, just drink this turn.

38
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:45.360
<v Speaker 7>In the lars.

39
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:47.759
<v Speaker 8>Everybody heard as a doctor in the third floortion. I

40
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:48.159
<v Speaker 8>call him.

41
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:51.159
<v Speaker 2>Never mind the doctor, call the police, and nobody gets

42
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:53.240
<v Speaker 2>in here until they arrived. And the rest of you

43
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:58.800
<v Speaker 2>go on, feed it, run along and turn off that alarm.

44
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.039
<v Speaker 3>Okay, miss just take it easy.

45
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:04.639
<v Speaker 5>He was also sudden. What happened?

46
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:06.280
<v Speaker 3>That's not too hard to figure out.

47
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.599
<v Speaker 2>Somebody wanted to give your boss mister Perry a shortcut

48
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:12.759
<v Speaker 2>through life. So whoever, it was figured out that the

49
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:15.199
<v Speaker 2>secretary would never buzzer a boss unless he was at

50
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:18.000
<v Speaker 2>his desk. They rigged up a bomb somewhere in his desk.

51
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:19.400
<v Speaker 2>It would go off when you buzzed him.

52
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:21.520
<v Speaker 3>I like you, I wait a.

53
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Minute, Wait a minute. Don't get hysterical on me. There's

54
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:25.960
<v Speaker 2>excitement enough around here. There'll be plenty more when the

55
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:26.719
<v Speaker 2>police get here.

56
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:27.759
<v Speaker 3>Keep cool.

57
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.599
<v Speaker 5>But I did you saw me do it?

58
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:30.599
<v Speaker 3>Look the way you put it.

59
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:32.240
<v Speaker 2>I killed him by coming in here and giving you

60
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:33.520
<v Speaker 2>my name, So you buzz him?

61
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:34.599
<v Speaker 3>Drop it, will you?

62
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:37.280
<v Speaker 5>I'm sorry?

63
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:38.960
<v Speaker 8>Now?

64
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:42.680
<v Speaker 3>What about yesterday? Was he here? Yes?

65
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:43.280
<v Speaker 9>All day?

66
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 3>What time was it when you last used the buzzer?

67
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:48.520
<v Speaker 5>Right up to the last minute? About five point thirty?

68
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.000
<v Speaker 3>Who left the office first? You or Perry?

69
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 5>Mister Perry, he always leaves first. And I lock up.

70
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Looks of things. You should have used more locks last night?

71
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.800
<v Speaker 2>Somebody got in here to do some wiring. Oh I

72
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.759
<v Speaker 2>forgot that fire alarm, haul that equipment and no fire

73
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 2>Look before the police arrived. Do you know why I

74
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:08.199
<v Speaker 2>was sent here?

75
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:08.960
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

76
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.919
<v Speaker 4>Mister Perry recently felt that his life was endangered. He

77
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:16.360
<v Speaker 4>thought that, well, one hundred thousand dollar policy, the insurance

78
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.839
<v Speaker 4>company would do everything they could to help keep him alive.

79
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:20.680
<v Speaker 3>Well, we didn't have much of a chance to be

80
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:21.800
<v Speaker 3>What was he afraid of?

81
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

82
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:25.319
<v Speaker 3>Okay. Why were his other appointments for today?

83
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.600
<v Speaker 5>He only had two, his partner, mister van Bruton at

00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:30.120
<v Speaker 5>eleven and the.

85

<v Speaker 3>One at a time. Now, van Bruton, anything special about

86
00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:33.759
<v Speaker 3>that meeting?

87
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:37.759
<v Speaker 5>Yes, mister van Bruton arrived just yesterday from Holland.

88
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:39.759
<v Speaker 3>You mean there was a branch of this firm in Holland.

89
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.560
<v Speaker 4>Yes, mister Perry was buying out Van Bruton's interest. They

90
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:45.839
<v Speaker 4>had their final meeting at Van Bruton's hotel last night. Oh,

91

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, now Christine the beneficiary, Yes, but.

99
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.360
<v Speaker 4>She wouldn't have been the beneficiary in another two weeks.

100
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:05.759
<v Speaker 4>They were getting a divorce.

101
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:08.560
<v Speaker 3>Thanks for the motive. You don't like her?

102
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:10.079
<v Speaker 5>I didn't mean it that way.

103
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:17.279
<v Speaker 3>How about Perry? Did you like him? Okay? Well, here's

104
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:17.839
<v Speaker 3>an easy one.

105
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:20.079
<v Speaker 9>What's your name, Susan, Susan Gates?

106
00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:20.879
<v Speaker 5>Now, isn't it about it?

107
00:05:20.959 --> 00:05:23.839
<v Speaker 3>Now? Okay, Susan, you'd better save your voice during the

108
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.120
<v Speaker 3>next few hours. You're going to have a lot of

109
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:26.920
<v Speaker 3>talking to do.

110
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh, here come the fireman, and we haven't even got

111
00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:31.920
<v Speaker 2>a child who asked them to save.

112
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:34.360
<v Speaker 8>Where's the fire? I'm looking for a fire.

113
00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:37.279
<v Speaker 2>Just stick around when the cops get here. Somebody will

114
00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:45.639
<v Speaker 2>get burned. The fireman should have stuck around, because the

115
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:47.560
<v Speaker 2>cops arrived in a blaze of glory.

116
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.120
<v Speaker 3>It was a very high class investigation to lieutenants.

117
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.839
<v Speaker 2>Finally, after about an hour, the police photographer ran out

118
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:58.240
<v Speaker 2>of flashboats, the office of the deceased ran out of fingerprints,

119
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 2>and the lieutenants ran out of question so they on

120
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.639
<v Speaker 2>the scene phase of the investigation was closed out about

121
00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:06.519
<v Speaker 2>five minutes of eleven. I left the police to pack

122
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:10.000
<v Speaker 2>up their notebooks, their clues, and the body and went

123
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:12.680
<v Speaker 2>into the outer office. Susan looked like she could use

124
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.240
<v Speaker 2>a big broad shoulder to weep on, but unfortunately I

125
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.279
<v Speaker 2>was worrying my light gray suit about. Then a dark

126
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:20.639
<v Speaker 2>blue suit and a deep green voice entered the room

127
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:21.439
<v Speaker 2>from the car door.

128
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.120
<v Speaker 10>Say there's some fella out here, says he belongs here.

129
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:26.480
<v Speaker 8>His name is Ben Bruton.

130
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:27.879
<v Speaker 10>Shall I let him in?

131
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:29.920
<v Speaker 3>What do you think his name is on the door

132
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:31.000
<v Speaker 3>you just open? Oh?

133
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:34.319
<v Speaker 1>Indeed, now, well, my name happens to be Murphy and

134
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:36.279
<v Speaker 1>it's on beds all over the country.

135
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:39.160
<v Speaker 3>But that don't mean I'm stuck with feathers.

136
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:39.079
<v Speaker 5>Does it?

00:07:37.600 --> 00:07:39.759
<v Speaker 10>that it is indelicate to speak of such things as

158
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:43.600
<v Speaker 10>money at a time like this. That is why I'm

159
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:45.279
<v Speaker 10>here to receive my payment.

160
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:47.759
<v Speaker 3>Oh just because Perry got hiss. There's no reason for

161
00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:49.160
<v Speaker 3>you not getting yours. Huh.

162
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:53.560
<v Speaker 10>But you misunderstand me. I am deeply grieved. Since a

163
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:57.399
<v Speaker 10>transaction was consummated, what they there to do? A delay

164
00:07:57.399 --> 00:07:59.959
<v Speaker 10>would be in needless waste of money. I have already

165
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.120
<v Speaker 10>faithful passage back to Amsterdam tomorrow.

166
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:05.959

<v Speaker 8>Thank you.

<v Speaker 10>In all my years of business, this is indeed the

169
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:11.839
<v Speaker 10>saddest moment.

170

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, those are very kind words, Van Bruton, and

171
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.720
<v Speaker 2>I'd believe them if your eyes would stop counting all

<v Speaker 2>the zeros on that check expense account. It him three

00:08:59.039 --> 00:08:59.399
<v Speaker 10>What's that?

186
00:08:59.799 --> 00:08:59.960
<v Speaker 8>Yeah?

00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:04.679
<v Speaker 3>Somebody tell mister Perry into a firecracker. He's dead news

<v Speaker 3>is shall I stay on the case?

190
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:14.440
<v Speaker 8>Certainly? By all mean? By the way, is there is

191
00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:17.919
<v Speaker 8>there a chance of proving suicide?

192
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:19.279
<v Speaker 3>There's a non.

193
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Payment clause to make this one a suicide? That have

194
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:25.919
<v Speaker 2>to be a Santa clause. Nobody could hate himself enough

195
00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:26.720
<v Speaker 2>to do it this way?

196
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.960
<v Speaker 3>What are the possibilities? Only fair?

197
00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:35.200
<v Speaker 2>As an estrange wife, she's the beneficiary, but she wouldn't

198
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:36.960
<v Speaker 2>have been in a couple of weeks. Divorce coming up,

199
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:39.080
<v Speaker 2>I'll start with her, all right.

200
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:43.960
<v Speaker 3>Turner, good luck. But watch those expenses. I godon, I'm surprised.

201
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:45.960
<v Speaker 2>I think an insurance man would be the first to

202
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:53.159
<v Speaker 2>want to see a fellow live a little expense account

203
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:57.080
<v Speaker 2>item free camp fair two eighty cents, tip the driver

204
00:09:57.399 --> 00:10:02.320
<v Speaker 2>one dollar. Christine perry apartment was on Sutton Place, overlooking

205
00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:05.480
<v Speaker 2>the river, and from what the dormant told me all

206
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.279
<v Speaker 2>of the proprieties. I took the elevator up to the

207
00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:10.559
<v Speaker 2>twenty fourth floor, and there I discovered that our garden

208
00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:13.360
<v Speaker 2>fresh widow was living high in more ways than one.

209
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:17.159
<v Speaker 2>Everything about the place was French. The maid that led

210
00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:20.679
<v Speaker 2>me into the living room, the decorps, and the perfume,

211
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:24.320
<v Speaker 2>which reminds you that breathing can be fun. I looked

212
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:26.919
<v Speaker 2>up from enjoying my nose to see Missus Perry looking

213
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:27.480
<v Speaker 2>down her.

214
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:29.840
<v Speaker 3>Mister Dollard or Missus Perry.

215
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:32.279
<v Speaker 9>I believe we can dispense with any getting acquated.

216
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.440
<v Speaker 11>You're an insurance investigator interested in the death of my husband,

217
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:37.679
<v Speaker 11>the natural.

218
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:39.559
<v Speaker 9>You're here because you've jumped to the conclusion that I

219
00:10:39.679 --> 00:10:40.159
<v Speaker 9>killed him.

220
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:43.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh you're the one that's jumping the conclusions, lady.

221
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.279
<v Speaker 9>And what do you want the policies in order the

222
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:47.279
<v Speaker 9>premium of the polipaid.

223
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:48.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm not quite sure.

224
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:51.879
<v Speaker 2>I know that you've got a great motive so far,

225
00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:53.039
<v Speaker 2>the only motive I've found.

226
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:56.440
<v Speaker 9>You haven't had much time to look Chack.

227
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:59.120
<v Speaker 3>This is my first thought. Maybe you can help me.

228
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:01.960
<v Speaker 3>I know anyone who would be happier with your husband

229
00:11:01.960 --> 00:11:02.440
<v Speaker 3>out of the way.

230
00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.840
<v Speaker 11>I know very little about my husband's friends or for

231
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:08.279
<v Speaker 11>that matter, his activities for the past six months.

232
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:11.320
<v Speaker 3>That's when I left him. Uh huh, Well, that's not

233
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:15.279
<v Speaker 3>my help for either of us. Oh, that's someone else

234
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.519
<v Speaker 3>to suspect. I may just have to concentrate.

235
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:19.240
<v Speaker 9>On you, mister Dollar.

236
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:19.960
<v Speaker 5>I picked him in.

237
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:21.200
<v Speaker 9>I want to concentrate on me.

238
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:21.600
<v Speaker 3>Well.

239
00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:23.559
<v Speaker 2>I hope he is long on alibis as you are

240
00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:24.559
<v Speaker 2>short on your temper.

241
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:27.240
<v Speaker 3>Where were you last night for.

242
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:31.000
<v Speaker 11>A friend, al Donovan for a while? I think as

243
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.200
<v Speaker 11>my husband was, and I've witnesses to prove who was

244
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:35.360
<v Speaker 11>with him.

245
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:37.480
<v Speaker 9>Anybody at the club, the priest can tell you.

246
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:39.759
<v Speaker 3>We'll save me a trip. I can't afford the prices

247
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:42.000
<v Speaker 3>they get there. Certainly pleasure.

248
00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:45.600
<v Speaker 11>My husband was with his beautiful little secretary of Susan

249
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:46.600
<v Speaker 11>Yates wore.

250
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:49.320
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't be more surprised if your late husband walked

251
00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:51.720
<v Speaker 2>through the door and said that all right, Master, that

252
00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:52.679
<v Speaker 2>siy else.

253
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:54.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, how much time?

00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:57.600
<v Speaker 7>I am a big guy, baby, six foot four, and

255
00:11:57.639 --> 00:11:58.720
<v Speaker 7>I've got big years.

256
00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:01.919
<v Speaker 3>Come back, please, mister Donovan, your companion of last evening,

257
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:03.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm getting you out of here.

258
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.799
<v Speaker 8>Christine, you do what you say you lie to me?

259
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:07.279
<v Speaker 3>How can I help you? If you lie to me?

260
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:08.600
<v Speaker 3>You call me stupid.

261
00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:10.519
<v Speaker 8>The way you're playing this, you'll all of you. I'm

262
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:12.639
<v Speaker 8>right into herself. I'm getting you out of here.

263
00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:14.000
<v Speaker 5>What are you doing in the idea creates?

264
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.200
<v Speaker 3>She's right, you are stupid, Donovan. She was doing just

265
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:20.120
<v Speaker 3>fine until you dropped in. Mister You've been asking a

266
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:21.399
<v Speaker 3>lot of questions.

267
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:23.679
<v Speaker 8>Now I'll give you one answer.

268
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:30.919
<v Speaker 7>All right, Christine, So much for the wise guy. Now

269
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:34.480
<v Speaker 7>about you and your alibi. You wasn't with me at

270
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:37.120
<v Speaker 7>the club cup Priest last night, And if it's always

271
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:40.320
<v Speaker 7>did approve, your husband was there with his secretary, who

272
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:43.240
<v Speaker 7>were you there with? You told me you were going

273
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:45.200
<v Speaker 7>with your husband talking divorce.

274
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Remember when Ill measured me for that swing, I measured

275
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:50.840
<v Speaker 2>my chances with him. To me, he looked like one

276
00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.360
<v Speaker 2>of the corporate assets of Murder Incorporated. So I rolled

277
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:56.440
<v Speaker 2>over the punch, hit the floor, and stayed there with

278
00:12:56.600 --> 00:12:59.279
<v Speaker 2>my eyes closed and my ears open. What I heard

279
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:02.639
<v Speaker 2>was Christine's alibi flying out the window, mister Donovan giving

280
00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:05.279
<v Speaker 2>her a few loving cuffs, and finally the pair of

281
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:08.200
<v Speaker 2>them flying out the door. I allowed myself the luxury

282
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:10.600
<v Speaker 2>of a twenty second massage and the new lump on

283
00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:13.039
<v Speaker 2>my jaw, and then I got up and started.

284
00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:15.559
<v Speaker 3>Out after them. This case was becoming interesting.

285
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:32.399
<v Speaker 1>In just a moment, we'll return to the second act

286
00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:34.399
<v Speaker 1>of yours truly, Johnny Dollar.

287
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:36.919
<v Speaker 8>But first this important message.

288
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:40.279
<v Speaker 1>Sixty million dollars is what the Red Cross needs to

289
00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:43.559
<v Speaker 1>carry on it's great work in nineteen forty nine. If

290
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.200
<v Speaker 1>this seems like a lot, just try to review briefly

291
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:49.240
<v Speaker 1>the various activities of the Red Cross. It can't be

292
00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:53.480
<v Speaker 1>done briefly. Red Cross services extend into every area of

293
00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:56.840
<v Speaker 1>our lives, bringing care, comfort and recreation to the men

294
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:01.720
<v Speaker 1>of the armed forces, bringing first aid training programs, nursing services,

295
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:03.799
<v Speaker 1>blood banks to our own communities.

296
00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:04.919
<v Speaker 3>And all the.

297
00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:08.919
<v Speaker 1>Time, as these activities go on uninterrupted, the Red Cross

298
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:11.519
<v Speaker 1>is holding itself ready to spring into instant action in

299
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:15.879
<v Speaker 1>case of disaster, fire, but explosion, any sort of catastrophe

300
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.919
<v Speaker 1>finds the Red Cross on the scene with food, clothing,

301
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.240
<v Speaker 1>and medical care. Sixty million isn't so much in the

302
00:14:22.320 --> 00:14:24.799
<v Speaker 1>light of such activity. We can make it. With each

303
00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:28.440
<v Speaker 1>of us contributing. We're giving to our own safety, security

304
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.440
<v Speaker 1>and peace of mind, and to our neighbors too. So

305
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:36.039
<v Speaker 1>let's give generously to our own red Cross. Now back

306
00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:38.720
<v Speaker 1>to the second act of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar.

307
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:48.960
<v Speaker 2>I hit the street just in time to see Donmond

308
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:52.279
<v Speaker 2>pushing Christine Perry into a cream colored convertible. When they

309
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.679
<v Speaker 2>got rolling, I file into a cab and followed them,

310
00:14:54.720 --> 00:15:01.759
<v Speaker 2>and the chase was on. At fifty seventh and Broadway,

311
00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:05.080
<v Speaker 2>things got complicated. My cab was three cars behind theirs

312
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:07.559
<v Speaker 2>when a red light flashed into a stop. Then the

313
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:10.720
<v Speaker 2>door of their convertible flew open. Christine jumped out, dashed

314
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:13.559
<v Speaker 2>across the street and down to the subway. Since Donovan

315
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.600
<v Speaker 2>didn't follow her, I followed him. When he finally pulled

316
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:19.440
<v Speaker 2>to a stop, he took two chances. He parked in

317
00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:22.559
<v Speaker 2>a no parking zone and walked straight into the building

318
00:15:22.600 --> 00:15:24.600
<v Speaker 2>beside it a police station.

319
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:33.440
<v Speaker 8>This is mister Doll, Lieutenant. He's been waiting for you.

320
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:34.039
<v Speaker 10>For some time.

321
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:37.159
<v Speaker 8>Well, you can wait outside sat.

322
00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:37.879
<v Speaker 3>CA, sir.

323
00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:44.879
<v Speaker 2>My name is Johnny Della, Lieutenant. There are my credentials.

324
00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:47.000
<v Speaker 8>Insurance. Eh.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the Perry murder in particular, You've.

326
00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:51.279
<v Speaker 8>Come to the right place. Dollar.

327
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.200
<v Speaker 12>A man named Donovan just walked in here and made

328
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:55.279
<v Speaker 12>a full confession.

329
00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:58.519
<v Speaker 8>He what that's right, right, clicks, just typing it up.

330
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:01.519
<v Speaker 12>In the meantime, the gentleman is down in the tank

331
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:04.360
<v Speaker 12>having a bite of lunch on the city he confessed.

332
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:06.279
<v Speaker 3>Does his story add up?

333
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:09.279
<v Speaker 12>As far as I know, I haven't heard too much

334
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:10.720
<v Speaker 12>about the case myself.

335
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:12.559
<v Speaker 8>It's met in my precinct.

336
00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:14.159
<v Speaker 3>What did he use for a motive?

337
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:18.240
<v Speaker 8>Jealousy? Says he's in love, wanted to marry Perry's wife.

338
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:20.200
<v Speaker 3>Did he say how he manages it?

339
00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:22.840
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, he's still the key to the office from the

340
00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:25.600
<v Speaker 12>wife's apartment, entered the building last night and wired a

341
00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:28.200
<v Speaker 12>bomb to the buzzer system.

342
00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:30.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, guys do a lot of strange things the name

343
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:30.960
<v Speaker 3>of love.

344
00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:33.720
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, it looks like Donovan did.

345
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:34.519
<v Speaker 3>Ah.

346
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:37.519
<v Speaker 2>He either killed a man or he's trying to cover

347
00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:41.240
<v Speaker 2>up for someone who dead a Listen, don't execute him

348
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:42.080
<v Speaker 2>for a couple of days.

349
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:48.279
<v Speaker 3>Hollows and I.

350
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:50.879
<v Speaker 2>Spent the rest of the afternoon downtown in the offices

351
00:16:50.919 --> 00:16:55.559
<v Speaker 2>of Perry and Van Bruton, importers. The partner's correspondence told

352
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:59.000
<v Speaker 2>me two things. They had been extremely friendly and Van

353
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:02.399
<v Speaker 2>Bruton was extremely Perry had been sending him two pays

354
00:17:02.399 --> 00:17:05.640
<v Speaker 2>from a famous Hollywood makeup firm at four point thirty,

355
00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:09.279
<v Speaker 2>I opened the drawer marked employment files. They rocked me

356
00:17:09.319 --> 00:17:13.039
<v Speaker 2>with two minor explosions of their own. The folder marked Donovan.

357
00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Albert J. Told me that he'd been employed as Perry's

358
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:19.319
<v Speaker 2>bodyguard over a period of years, and that he was

359
00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:22.920
<v Speaker 2>canned the day before the murder. Before I received blast

360
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:26.640
<v Speaker 2>number two from the folder of Perry's secretary Susan Gates, the.

361
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:29.799
<v Speaker 3>Office door opened behind me. Well, mister dollar.

362
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:34.160
<v Speaker 11>They were supplied with a search warrant, just the one

363
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:36.920
<v Speaker 11>I was born with, Missus Perry, the kind they say

364
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:38.039
<v Speaker 11>kills cats.

365
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:42.359
<v Speaker 3>You know, curiosity? What are you looking for? I found it?

366
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:45.759
<v Speaker 3>How about you? What are you doing here? Why?

367
00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:50.240
<v Speaker 11>I'm tired of dueling with you? I'm here because I

368
00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:54.000
<v Speaker 11>want to Well, I've got to talk to someone. I

369
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:54.799
<v Speaker 11>called your hotel.

370
00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:55.359
<v Speaker 3>You what's there?

371
00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:59.400
<v Speaker 11>I tried to locate Susan, but I couldn't, so I thought,

372
00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:00.759
<v Speaker 11>maybe you'll be down here.

373
00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:03.559
<v Speaker 3>What's the basis of our sudden friendship?

374
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.119
<v Speaker 9>You should know al Donovan's confession.

375
00:18:07.319 --> 00:18:09.160
<v Speaker 3>The newspapers have it already is but there's not a.

376
00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:10.960
<v Speaker 9>Word of truth, and that he didn't kill my husband.

377
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:11.680
<v Speaker 3>How do you know that?

378
00:18:11.960 --> 00:18:15.880
<v Speaker 9>Because what it's impossible.

379
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:15.599
<v Speaker 3>That's all.

380
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:16.039
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

381
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:18.000
<v Speaker 2>It was a little hard for me to swallow too

382
00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:20.480
<v Speaker 2>when the police told me about it, But since then

383
00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:24.079
<v Speaker 2>it's become a little more digestible. What do you mean,

384
00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:26.759
<v Speaker 2>I just learned that he was your husband's bodyguard.

385
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:28.640
<v Speaker 3>He was fired yesterday.

386
00:18:29.079 --> 00:18:31.920
<v Speaker 2>That same day, your husband calls his insurance when he's

387
00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:34.559
<v Speaker 2>screaming for another body God, Now.

388
00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:36.920
<v Speaker 3>How would that head up for you? A beef? Maybe?

389
00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:40.559
<v Speaker 11>Al Donovan's a fool, never thinks. He just rushes in

390
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:42.920
<v Speaker 11>and says it does whatever's on his mind. He told

391
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:43.880
<v Speaker 11>my husband if he didn't.

392
00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:44.319
<v Speaker 3>Divorce me, that.

393
00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:47.519
<v Speaker 9>How he threatened him.

394
00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:50.519
<v Speaker 2>Now you came in here saying that Diamond's confession was

395
00:18:50.559 --> 00:18:53.079
<v Speaker 2>no good, and you spend your time making it sound

396
00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:53.799
<v Speaker 2>better and better.

397
00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:55.599
<v Speaker 3>What do you want anyway?

398
00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:58.960
<v Speaker 11>I can't help it. I've got to tell you the teeth.

399
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:01.839
<v Speaker 11>I know it doesn't sound like I'm trying to help.

400
00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:03.839
<v Speaker 2>Al, but what can I Do You really want me

401
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.839
<v Speaker 2>to answer that here? If you want to help out,

402
00:19:08.200 --> 00:19:11.240
<v Speaker 2>phone the police, tell them Donovan made that phony confession

403
00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:15.119
<v Speaker 2>to cover up for you. It's simple, not as simple

404
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:20.400
<v Speaker 2>as dead. You don't need the gun, Christine, hang up

405
00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:20.880
<v Speaker 2>the phone.

406
00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:26.519
<v Speaker 11>Sure, I hope you don't mind my version being held

407
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:27.759
<v Speaker 11>for murder myself.

408
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's a commoner version. I'm in no hurry to

409
00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:34.039
<v Speaker 2>see you behind bars, but don't forget. When the cops

410
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:35.559
<v Speaker 2>want to pick you up, they'll.

411
00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:36.279
<v Speaker 3>Do it now.

412
00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Don't spoil the rest of the afternoon. Take that gun

413
00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:40.680
<v Speaker 2>someplace else. I've got things to do the first time.

414
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:41.880
<v Speaker 9>Imagine we'll need to call that.

415
00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:44.160
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't man, not necessarily.

416
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:47.240
<v Speaker 2>If it'll make you feel any better, we'll just put

417
00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:48.359
<v Speaker 2>this phone out of order.

418
00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:51.319
<v Speaker 3>Satisfying, of course not.

419
00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:56.480
<v Speaker 9>But don't get me wrong, mister Dalla, I wish you nothing.

420
00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:58.400
<v Speaker 10>But success in your investigation.

421
00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:07.759
<v Speaker 2>I puzzled over that exit line for a few seconds

422
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:10.200
<v Speaker 2>after she'd gone, and then I went back to the

423
00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:14.799
<v Speaker 2>company's employment file, namely the application for employment as secretary

424
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:15.759
<v Speaker 2>of Susan Gates.

425
00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:17.960
<v Speaker 3>It informed me that during.

426
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:20.440
<v Speaker 2>The war she had worked in the munitions planned a

427
00:20:20.640 --> 00:20:23.599
<v Speaker 2>specialty wiring bomb fuses.

428
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:28.559
<v Speaker 3>When Miss Susan Gates.

429
00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:30.680
<v Speaker 2>Reached home at eight thirty that evening, she found a

430
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:40.559
<v Speaker 2>visitor me, how did you get in here?

431
00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:42.200
<v Speaker 3>Professional secret Oh?

432
00:20:42.279 --> 00:20:46.519
<v Speaker 5>You scared me? What do you want? Why did you

433
00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:47.000
<v Speaker 5>come here?

434
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:48.519
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to bring you the good news.

435
00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:52.319
<v Speaker 2>I heard on the radio that al Donovan confessed to

436
00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Perry's murder.

437
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:56.359
<v Speaker 5>El I can't believe it.

438
00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:58.440
<v Speaker 3>Why not? Who do you like for the spot?

439
00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:01.319
<v Speaker 5>Why Christine? Alice covering up for.

440
00:21:01.839 --> 00:21:04.039
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to agree with you if it turns out

441
00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:06.240
<v Speaker 2>that Christine wound up her husband's life with a bang.

442
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:09.759
<v Speaker 2>The company that hired me saves a hundred thousand dollars,

443
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:12.880
<v Speaker 2>But I don't know. She claims she has all kinds

444
00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:18.200
<v Speaker 2>of alibis. One of them is you me? Ah, did

445
00:21:18.200 --> 00:21:20.759
<v Speaker 2>you see her at the club Caprice last night? Why?

446
00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:21.559
<v Speaker 5>Who? Yes?

447
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:24.200
<v Speaker 3>I know who you were with your boss.

448
00:21:24.440 --> 00:21:25.440
<v Speaker 5>There's nothing wrong with that.

449
00:21:25.799 --> 00:21:27.480
<v Speaker 3>I am not preaching it, Sirma. I want to know who

450
00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:27.920
<v Speaker 3>she was with.

451
00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:31.720
<v Speaker 4>I don't know, man, I'd never seen before mister Perry,

452
00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:33.240
<v Speaker 4>knew him, but he wouldn't tell me who he was.

453
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:33.599
<v Speaker 3>Why not?

454
00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:35.480
<v Speaker 5>I don't know? He said, I might get the wrong

455
00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:37.279
<v Speaker 5>idea about what. I don't know.

456
00:21:37.920 --> 00:21:39.640
<v Speaker 4>We didn't sit there and talk about it all night.

457
00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:41.480
<v Speaker 4>Why should we sit here and talk about it all night?

458
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:44.480
<v Speaker 3>All right? All right? When a census taker shows up

459
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:46.559
<v Speaker 3>and asks a lot of questions, people answer them.

460
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:49.480
<v Speaker 2>When an investigator tries to do his job. They make

461
00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:51.720
<v Speaker 2>the proverbial clam look like a blabbermouth.

462
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:54.880
<v Speaker 4>Look, mister dor believe me, this has been a greater

463
00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:56.319
<v Speaker 4>shock to me than anyone else.

464
00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:59.240
<v Speaker 3>The shifting. Of course, you're a late employer, mister Perry.

465
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:01.519
<v Speaker 3>How long did you work for him?

466
00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:02.240
<v Speaker 5>Four years?

467
00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:03.599
<v Speaker 3>And where'd you worked before? Then?

468
00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:14.240
<v Speaker 2>H Let me help you bombs, wiring fuses? Remember all right?

469
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:15.000
<v Speaker 5>I remember?

470
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:15.400
<v Speaker 3>Good?

471
00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:18.440
<v Speaker 2>Then maybe you'll remember a little bit more. Let's go

472
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:21.000
<v Speaker 2>back to last night, guy with Christine Perry?

473
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:22.039
<v Speaker 3>Who was he?

474
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:22.920
<v Speaker 5>I tell you, I don't know.

475
00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:25.400
<v Speaker 3>Was it Van Bruden? I don't know, you don't know.

476
00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:26.759
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I'll get that.

477
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:27.359
<v Speaker 4>No, I'll go.

478
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:37.880
<v Speaker 3>You make sure you just don't keep going Susan. When

479
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:39.839
<v Speaker 3>Susan snapped the spring locks, who opened the door?

480
00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:42.599
<v Speaker 2>The gun outside opened up the first slug quarter on

481
00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:44.200
<v Speaker 2>the left shoulder, spinning her out of the way of

482
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:46.400
<v Speaker 2>the rest of them. It was getting them knotts. Every

483
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:49.640
<v Speaker 2>time a buzzer went off, things started booming. Susan was

484
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:51.640
<v Speaker 2>sprawled out on the floor and from the door, and

485
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:53.799
<v Speaker 2>to open it, I had a mover. By the time

486
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:59.480
<v Speaker 2>I did, the hallway outside was empty. Okay, my ticketies,

487
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:02.480
<v Speaker 2>it won't start hurting for a couple of minutes. We'll

488
00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:04.599
<v Speaker 2>have a doctor here by then he'll give her something.

489
00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:08.559
<v Speaker 2>I just try and keep going. Yeah, I'll throw my

490
00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:13.799
<v Speaker 2>coat over you. Try not to move, trying to ruin

491
00:23:13.839 --> 00:23:16.720
<v Speaker 2>this rug? Never mind the rug. But we want to

492
00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:18.359
<v Speaker 2>worry about is who tried to ruin you?

493
00:23:19.279 --> 00:23:20.279
<v Speaker 5>What'll they do to me?

494
00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:21.720
<v Speaker 3>Well? Who do to you?

495
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:23.559
<v Speaker 5>They'll arrest me?

496
00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:26.519
<v Speaker 2>No, they don't arrest people beginning shot. Do you have

497
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:29.839
<v Speaker 2>any idea who it was that.

498
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:30.799
<v Speaker 5>Man in the office this morning?

499
00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:34.200
<v Speaker 3>One picked up the check man Bruton?

500
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:35.359
<v Speaker 5>No, No, he wasn't.

501
00:23:35.400 --> 00:23:39.519
<v Speaker 3>Then Bruton he was a phony? Yep, and you still

502
00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:40.279
<v Speaker 3>gave him that check.

503
00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:43.799
<v Speaker 2>Yes, well, I won't ask you why, but apparently you

504
00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:45.640
<v Speaker 2>gave him the money and then try to blackmail him.

505
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:46.160
<v Speaker 3>Is that right?

506
00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:47.920
<v Speaker 5>He'll have me.

507
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:50.720
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't be a bit surprised. Who is this guy?

508
00:23:50.759 --> 00:23:54.079
<v Speaker 2>Where can I find him? Come on, I don't pass

509
00:23:54.119 --> 00:23:55.119
<v Speaker 2>out on me. Now his name?

510
00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:55.559
<v Speaker 3>Quick?

511
00:23:57.039 --> 00:23:57.759
<v Speaker 5>Then?

512
00:23:58.279 --> 00:23:58.960
<v Speaker 3>Where does he lived?

513
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:00.480
<v Speaker 5>Nelson?

514
00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:08.319
<v Speaker 3>Who did under his own name? I don't blame you.

515
00:24:09.200 --> 00:24:19.799
<v Speaker 2>I could use a few moments of unconsciousness myself. The

516
00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Nelson hotel didn't have a Dutch name on the register,

517
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:24.759
<v Speaker 2>so I got a hold of the housekeeper and found

518
00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:26.920
<v Speaker 2>out how many rooms his staff hadn't been able to

519
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:29.480
<v Speaker 2>make up all day because of do not disturb signs

520
00:24:29.480 --> 00:24:32.839
<v Speaker 2>and their doors. I want to calling at these particular rooms.

521
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:35.759
<v Speaker 2>On the ninth floor I awakened one old maid. On

522
00:24:35.799 --> 00:24:38.000
<v Speaker 2>the seventh I startled a bunch of poker players who

523
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:40.599
<v Speaker 2>thought they were being raided. On the fifth I blushed

524
00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:42.920
<v Speaker 2>my way out of the bridal suite, and on the

525
00:24:43.039 --> 00:24:46.160
<v Speaker 2>fourth I struck the door of four twenty seven and

526
00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:47.240
<v Speaker 2>the jackpots.

527
00:24:47.559 --> 00:24:51.000
<v Speaker 10>Who's there? Don't you see the sign I do not

528
00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:52.079
<v Speaker 10>miss to be disturbed?

529
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:54.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh sorry, I must have the wrong room.

530
00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:57.000
<v Speaker 2>I started up the hall after the fire acte, but

531
00:24:57.000 --> 00:24:59.319
<v Speaker 2>when I got to it, I changed my mind. One

532
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:00.920
<v Speaker 2>of the few things I had learned about this guy,

533
00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Van Sant was and he loved to murder people through doors,

534
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:06.599
<v Speaker 2>So I decided against trying to chop his down. Then

535
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:08.640
<v Speaker 2>I remember the way those people came pouring out of

536
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:10.519
<v Speaker 2>those offices earlier in the day when they heard that

537
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:13.240
<v Speaker 2>fire alarm. So I picked up the little red hammer

538
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:15.319
<v Speaker 2>next to the big red fire axe, broke the little

539
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:17.960
<v Speaker 2>glass window, pulled the little brass hook, and set off

540
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:19.079
<v Speaker 2>a big brassy noise.

541
00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:25.799
<v Speaker 3>Then I rushed back to four twenty seven. Fire, Fire, fire,

542
00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:27.920
<v Speaker 3>where's the fire right here?

543
00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:28.599
<v Speaker 6>In my eyes?

544
00:25:28.680 --> 00:25:29.279
<v Speaker 3>Sweethet?

545
00:25:33.200 --> 00:25:33.960
<v Speaker 10>Why you come here?

546
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:38.319
<v Speaker 2>You wish you hadn't to remind addresser you're through shooting

547
00:25:38.319 --> 00:25:43.000
<v Speaker 2>guns for the day. Well you think the him sense

548
00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:44.119
<v Speaker 2>you want to try some more?

549
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:45.839
<v Speaker 10>You kind of make me stay here.

550
00:25:46.279 --> 00:25:47.519
<v Speaker 3>The fire we all died and.

551
00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:50.039
<v Speaker 2>It looked good barbecued. But I'll make a deal with you.

552
00:25:50.039 --> 00:25:52.759
<v Speaker 2>You talk. If I like what I hear, I'll show

553
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:53.839
<v Speaker 2>you how to get out of here alive.

554
00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:55.000
<v Speaker 10>How do I know this?

555
00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:56.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, you don't think I'm gonna stay here in Friday.

556
00:25:57.680 --> 00:25:59.599
<v Speaker 2>And if you don't start flapping that tongue in a hurry,

557
00:25:59.599 --> 00:26:01.440
<v Speaker 2>I'll probably I just tie you to a chair and run.

558
00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:03.319
<v Speaker 3>First was Van Bruton.

559
00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:04.680
<v Speaker 10>You will find him in the bedroom.

560
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:11.200
<v Speaker 3>You've gotta be alive. He's out cold. What's the matter

561
00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:11.400
<v Speaker 3>with it?

562
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:12.759
<v Speaker 8>People? Be all right?

563
00:26:13.519 --> 00:26:14.640
<v Speaker 10>He's on the sedatives.

564
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:18.680
<v Speaker 2>What did this identity switch start? You better hurry up.

565
00:26:18.720 --> 00:26:19.440
<v Speaker 2>I smell smoke.

566
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:22.519
<v Speaker 10>I knew Van Bruton in Amsterdam. I knew about to

567
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:24.680
<v Speaker 10>say of his interest, and I knew that the girl

568
00:26:24.720 --> 00:26:26.799
<v Speaker 10>in the office here had never seen Van Bruton. What

569
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:27.599
<v Speaker 10>let's go now.

570
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:29.759
<v Speaker 3>I don't get up. I can't feel it getting warm

571
00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:30.160
<v Speaker 3>in here.

572
00:26:31.720 --> 00:26:35.200
<v Speaker 2>The firefies. You will be safe, and don't be too sure.

573
00:26:35.319 --> 00:26:37.839
<v Speaker 2>They always started the top floor and work their way down.

574
00:26:38.359 --> 00:26:39.960
<v Speaker 2>Come on, I can hear those flames crying.

575
00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:43.119
<v Speaker 10>You know the rest. Last night, when the transaction was

576
00:26:43.119 --> 00:26:45.559
<v Speaker 10>all finished with Parry, I gave to Van Bruton someb

577
00:26:45.559 --> 00:26:46.559
<v Speaker 10>sedative and his cocoa.

578
00:26:47.039 --> 00:26:49.319
<v Speaker 3>You set up that bomb, so Perry get it before

579
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:51.240
<v Speaker 3>you showed up to pick up the check. Y'all.

580
00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:53.839
<v Speaker 10>I told you that then it happened. That girl didn't

581
00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:56.000
<v Speaker 10>know I was an impostor. I don't know how.

582
00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:56.960
<v Speaker 3>Let me tell you.

583
00:26:57.319 --> 00:26:59.559
<v Speaker 2>She's been sending old Van Bruton and they had two

591
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:32.079
<v Speaker 2>Of was trying to stay on the right side of

592
00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:35.720

593
00:27:35.839 --> 00:27:38.359
<v Speaker 2>with at the club Caprice, not to fix herself an alibi,

594
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:41.359
<v Speaker 2>but to keep al Donovan from learning that she'd been

595
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:44.279
<v Speaker 2>out with another guy, that guy being the real mister
