It was that briefcase that 38 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,599 made me look like a respectable German citizen.

Part of it was true. 54 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 4: My name was Keller or right Vince Keller, and I 55 00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:47,840 had come from Bilafelt. 56 00:03:48,639 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 5: But I wasn't a wine salesman. 57 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 4: I was an agent of the OSS and what I 58 00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:56,960 had to sell was something stronger than wine. It was 59 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,360 organized resistance to Nazism. I've been at it for about 60 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,639 a year then almost the years inside sat in Colonel 61 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,039 Metcalt's office in London, R. 62 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 5: Keller and told him I wanted to volunteer for the job. 63 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,639 Speaker 2: You're sure that there's no trace of American dialect in 64 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:12,439 your German. 65 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 5: Quite sure, sir. 66 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,199 Speaker 4: My family lived in Germany also my childhood.

If 70 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,199 the Nazis grab you, I know, Colonel. 71 00:04:30,079 --> 00:04:32,879 Speaker 5: But you still want to undertake the mission. 72 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 4: It's important, isn't it, Colonel, if we can step in 73 00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:38,399 the German underground's resistance to Hitler. 74 00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:41,199 Speaker 2: The anti Hitler movement in Germany right now can hardly 75 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,319 be called an underground. 76 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:44,439 Speaker 5: Oh, it's merely a. 77 00:04:44,399 --> 00:04:48,399 Speaker 2: Handful of isolated individuals in various cities. There's almost no 78 00:04:48,519 --> 00:04:51,560 contact between them and no organized activity at all. 79 00:04:51,439 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 4: And that won't do us any good when our troops 80 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,600 start moving across the German border. 81 00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 2: So exactly, we need detective allies inside Germany, no matter 82 00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:03,399 how few we are.

She insisted 220 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,759 I must be hungry, and she led me out into 221 00:12:36,799 --> 00:12:38,679 the kitchen and gave me the dinner she'd cook for 222 00:12:38,759 --> 00:12:39,240 her husband. 223 00:12:39,639 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 6: Poor. 224 00:12:41,159 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 7: I don't suppose he'll get anything to eat tonight. 225 00:12:43,799 --> 00:12:45,159 Speaker 5: He should have eaten before he left. 226 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,159 Speaker 8: Oh, you do not know him, hair Killers. This underground 227 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,759 work is his life means nothing to him. He goes 228 00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:56,200 without sleep, he never has a moment of pleasure. Nothing 229 00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,759 matters to him but fighting enough, not even the woman 230 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:01,159 he met. 231 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,279 Speaker 5: I guess that's the way a man gets in the 232 00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:04,200 underground After. 233 00:13:04,039 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 7: A while, Yes, he gets hard and cold and camps. 234 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 8: Like Ludwig Holtzmann.

I saw her then in 246 00:13:42,159 --> 00:13:44,840 the living room, with her back to me, her head 247 00:13:44,919 --> 00:13:46,039 stand over the telephone. 248 00:13:46,159 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 5: Can't I heard her too. 249 00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 7: No, no, don't ask me, just do what I can. 250 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 8: Don't come here, whatever you do, meet me by the 251 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,039 Bramsen in the po He's here a half hour and 252 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:55,440 wait for me. 253 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 7: I'll come as soon as I can. 254 00:14:00,039 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 5: Our Horstman could do a lot of tricks with the telephone. 255 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 4: I wondered if she could explain away the second one 256 00:14:05,639 --> 00:14:09,480 as easily as she'd explained away the first. I didn't 257 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,519 ask her, though, I'll let her show me up to 258 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,120 my room a half hour later, and I told her 259 00:14:14,159 --> 00:14:14,639 good night. 260 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,919 Speaker 7: Good night. If you need anything, call me.

I've 267 00:14:39,799 --> 00:14:44,039 been tired myself, but I felt wide awake. Then I 268 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,360 went to bed, though that as I went through the 269 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,200 motions of going to bed with all the proper sound effects. 270 00:14:50,039 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 5: I let my shoes drop loudly on the floor. 271 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,559 Speaker 4: Then, after I'd quietly put them on again, I opened 272 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,679 the window and clicked the light switch. 273 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 5: After that, I waited silently by the door. 274 00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:09,679 Speaker 4: She must have taken off her own shoes to tiptoe 275 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,080 down the stairs, because. 276 00:15:10,799 --> 00:15:13,279 Speaker 5: I didn't hear her go. But she shouldn't have let 277 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,039 the front door close quite so hard. I did hear that. 278 00:15:18,799 --> 00:15:24,200 Then I moved fast out of the bedroom and down 279 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:25,159 the stairs. 280 00:15:27,519 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 4: And out of the front door, but I closed the quiet. 281 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,799 She must have been thirty yards ahead of me when 282 00:15:35,799 --> 00:15:39,159 I reached the street. I didn't try to close the 283 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,440 distance between us. It was easy enough to follow us. 284 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 5: The sidewalks were practically deserted. She didn't look back once. 285 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,879 Speaker 4: A woman who was walking as eagerly as determinedly as 286 00:15:49,919 --> 00:15:52,320 then the Holtzman was walking doesn't bother to look back. 287 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 5: We reached the park in twenty minutes. It was deserted too. 288 00:15:58,639 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 4: She stayed on the gravel walk, and I stepped through 289 00:16:01,159 --> 00:16:05,200 the bushes, and then I disclosed another She approached the bandstand, 290 00:16:05,919 --> 00:16:08,679 A figure separated itself from the shadows and came toward her. 291 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,559 Did I was crouching behind the shrub three feet away. 292 00:16:11,639 --> 00:16:14,279 By then I saw out of the figure wore a 293 00:16:14,399 --> 00:16:15,279 Nazi uniform. 294 00:16:15,559 --> 00:16:16,919 Speaker 6: Oh what's hip? 295 00:16:17,399 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 11: What did you call me? 296 00:16:20,919 --> 00:16:21,279 Speaker 7: Kissed me? 297 00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:27,759 Speaker 5: He kissed her and they were both lost in it, 298 00:16:28,799 --> 00:16:31,600 so lost they didn't even hear the planes start whining 299 00:16:31,679 --> 00:16:36,919 through the night.

There was something 316 00:17:44,039 --> 00:17:45,920 in his voice that brought me to my feet. Was 317 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,880 the tone of a man who called when he doesn't 318 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:48,680 expect an answer. 319 00:17:48,759 --> 00:17:59,519 Speaker 12: Please do you, hear meding, He stayed, anything I can do, soldier. 320 00:17:59,279 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 5: Okay, there's nothing any want to want?

And then I knew 406 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,279 I was right. I turned away from the door. 407 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,599 Speaker 4: I didn't have any place to go, so I turned 408 00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,680 back again, and the man in the doorway was still 409 00:23:00,759 --> 00:23:04,000 standing there, still staring at me thoughtfully. 410 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:10,039 Speaker 9: Excuse me, why did you want to see Ludli quotsman. 411 00:23:10,599 --> 00:23:14,079 Speaker 5: Well, I'm a wine merchant. I didn't know he was dead. 412 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,640 I thought he might be interested in some wine. I see. 413 00:23:20,559 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 4: Strong wine, very strong, a special kind called called death 414 00:23:28,039 --> 00:23:28,920 fry hide vine. 415 00:23:30,079 --> 00:23:35,759 Speaker 5: Ah, you're familiar with it. Yes, I'm familiar with it. 416 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 4: Perhaps I could interest you, Perhaps you're quote, won't you 417 00:23:42,079 --> 00:23:50,000 step in? I followed him into his house, and then 418 00:23:50,079 --> 00:23:52,799 I took a chance. I told him who I was 419 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:54,960 and why I had come to Ostina Brook, and what 420 00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:56,200 had happened since I arrived. 421 00:23:56,559 --> 00:24:00,519 Speaker 9: I see, then, the real Ludrikosman is dead. He was 422 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,359 killed by the Gestapo head Keller. His own wife betrayed him. Funny, 423 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,240 that's just how her head figured. Fortunately she doesn't know 424 00:24:07,279 --> 00:24:09,160 who the rest of us are, or she would betray 425 00:24:09,319 --> 00:24:09,640 us too. 426 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,799 Speaker 4: Not anymore. She was killed in the raid last night, 427 00:24:13,519 --> 00:24:16,559 she walks. That doesn't exactly break your heart, I imagine. 428 00:24:16,599 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 9: On the contrary, it saves us the trouble of some 429 00:24:18,839 --> 00:24:20,079 day killing ourselves. 430 00:24:20,759 --> 00:24:22,759 Speaker 10: But you say she introduced another man. 431 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:23,599 Speaker 7: To you as her husband. 432 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,799 Speaker 4: She must have had orders to report anyone who came 433 00:24:25,839 --> 00:24:28,519 looking for Ludwig. She went out and brought this man 434 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:32,279 back with her, a tall, thin chap with a black mistake. 435 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,839 Speaker 9: Ah yeah, fitzgabl probably one of the most powerful Gestapo 436 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:36,960 agents in Arsena. 437 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,759 Speaker 5: Brook, in his company.

What is he waiting for for the meeting tonight? 440 00:24:43,839 --> 00:24:46,640 Speaker 4: Probably meeting he knows I'm planning to talk about the 441 00:24:46,759 --> 00:24:48,200 underground work in neighboring cities. 442 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 5: I see. He figures you'll pick up a flock of names. 443 00:24:51,079 --> 00:24:53,279 Speaker 4: Yeah, he'd never asked me for the name directly, but 444 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,480 fear he looks suspicious. 445 00:24:54,799 --> 00:24:57,039 Speaker 9: Ah yeah, but who does he intend to bring to 446 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:57,720 such a meeting? 447 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,759 Speaker 4: Some more Gestapo agents.

As soon as you thought you 537 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:32,720 understood what was going on, everything changed and went a 538 00:30:32,799 --> 00:30:36,640 different direction, leading to the twist where Keller in the 539 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,880 end was able to turn the tables on the Gestapo. 540 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:46,839 Mel Ferrer is such a great bit of casting, really 541 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:54,079 noted former and director in film as well as a 542 00:30:54,519 --> 00:30:58,440 huge presence on Broadway, didn't do a lot of radio. 543 00:30:59,799 --> 00:31:04,680 A good bit of work by NBAC search A newspapers 544 00:31:04,759 --> 00:31:08,039 shows that the casting god a brief bit of attention 545 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,839 and a little bit of publicity for the program and 546 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,599 what would be it's penultimate episode, Fransis Robinson's appearance in 547 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,920 the episode it's a bit of a puzzle to me. 548 00:31:18,119 --> 00:31:23,680 Longtime fans of The Great Detectives will remember her as Brooksy, 549 00:31:23,839 --> 00:31:26,799 the first Brooksy and Let George do It. Though her 550 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:32,799 career did start out on the East Coast, she appeared 551 00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:37,640 in the ZIV syndicated series Manhunt with Larry Haynes, but 552 00:31:38,519 --> 00:31:43,119 most of the post war radio programs I can find 553 00:31:43,839 --> 00:31:49,319 information for her shows that her post war radio career. 554 00:31:49,559 --> 00:31:54,400 All the credits I can find are in Hollywood. So 555 00:31:55,039 --> 00:31:58,319 bit curious how that happened. And I shouldn't say this 556 00:31:58,519 --> 00:32:02,279 is probably the worst sounding episode of the series, but 557 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,640 given the state of some of the other series we played, 558 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:10,079 it's really not that bad. And again, another great story 559 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,799 and I will be sorry to bid farewell to this 560 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,480 one next week.
