1
00:00:12,519 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: Come in welcome.

2
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 2: I'm e. G. Marshall, shepherd of this far flung flock

3
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,399
that dissembles regularly at this time and in this place,

4
00:00:24,039 --> 00:00:30,160
to indulge in our mysterious devotions. While might may not

5
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,079
make right, it can and often does make just about

6
00:00:34,119 --> 00:00:34,759
everything else.

7
00:00:35,679 --> 00:00:36,840
Speaker 1: In a very real sense.

8
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 3: The story of our alleged civilization is a story.

9
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 2: That has been created by armed men. Although the imminent

10
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,039
mister Bulwer Lytton may have said that the pen is

11
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,960
mightier than the sword, it should be noted that he

12
00:00:50,079 --> 00:00:54,119
used a knife to sharpen his quill. And after all,

13
00:00:54,799 --> 00:00:58,039
when you come to think of it, our country, and

14
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,799
practically every other country in the world, still spends more

15
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,840
money for guns than for almost everything else put together.

16
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 3: Any special orders today, Frank, nothing, It's quiet. This should

17
00:01:12,879 --> 00:01:17,719
be one of the nice, peaceful days a police win's delight. Yeah,

18
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,359
I hope so, Frank, anything wrong with he?

19
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:23,159
Speaker 4: Well?

20
00:01:24,359 --> 00:01:26,359
Speaker 3: Is it possible to know when the last day of

21
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,920
your life has arrived? No, it isn't possible.

22
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 5: I got this funny feeling.

23
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

24
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,239
Speaker 3: Right now, if I close my eyes, I see myself

25
00:01:36,359 --> 00:01:39,159
walking the beach. A guy with a gun is running

26
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,560
out of a store, I yell halt, he turns, he

27
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:43,159
shoots over.

28
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,079
Speaker 1: You want to go and sit? Call no.

29
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:48,239
Speaker 5: I get this feeling every day and.

30
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 3: You're the most sensible guy in a precinct. It's just

31
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:57,959
a crazy feeling and it always passes except today, Except today, What.

32
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: Bath and I'll be Okay, Okay.

33
00:02:13,759 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 2: Our mystery drama Just One More Day was written especially

34
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,479
for the Mystery Theater by Sam Dan and stars Theodore Biquel.

35
00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:37,520
His name is Edward Mason, and this is the early

36
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:41,120
morning of a very special day in his life. To

37
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,639
each of us, there comes a final day from time

38
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,719
to time, a last day, a day which marks a divide,

39
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,520
and today is one of those special days for Eddie

40
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,199
because it is the last day that Eddie will spend

41
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,919
as a police officer. This is the nine fifty fifth

42
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,520
day that Eddie has been on the force, and it

43
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,240
marks a total of twenty seven years. Every routine act

44
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,240
that Eddie performs today is something that he will do

45
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,560
for the last time. Checking in, standing must walking his beat,

46
00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:19,960
making his reports, and checking out. But today there may

47
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,319
be one act that Eddie will be called upon to

48
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,439
perform for the very first time. In nine eight and

49
00:03:26,439 --> 00:03:31,439
fifty five days for the first time in twenty seven years.

50
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 4: Morning, darn, I, what are you doing so early? I

51
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,719
heard you stirring around?

52
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 5: Sorry, I woke you, so I.

53
00:03:38,759 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 4: Figured I come out to the kitchen and put up

54
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:45,120
the coffee. Yeah, well, what's the matter, Eddie?

55
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:45,879
Speaker 5: Nothing?

56
00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 4: Same dream?

57
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, same dream.

58
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,639
Speaker 3: I've been dreaming that dream now for I guess for

59
00:03:53,759 --> 00:03:56,879
the last six eight months, but it's never been so real.

60
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,599
Speaker 4: You know what you ought to do with that vivid

61
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,479
a medication? New yours, Eddie.

62
00:04:01,719 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 3: I'm sitting in Mom's candy store, eating at the sh

63
00:04:04,919 --> 00:04:07,960
ice cream vanilla with strawberry syrup.

64
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:09,879
Speaker 4: You should become a writer, Eddie.

65
00:04:10,319 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 3: I'm aware of how creamy white that ice cream is

66
00:04:13,439 --> 00:04:16,519
and the strawberry syrup is red like blood.

67
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 4: Maybe go back to school, take a writing course.

68
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 3: Usually you don't dream in such shop to tell, you know.

69
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,600
And then there's this kid, he's maybe seventeen eighteen. One

70
00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:30,240
of the local punks, his name is Tommy, comes running.

71
00:04:29,879 --> 00:04:32,959
Speaker 4: In, Eddie, Eddy hits on a dream.

72
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 3: Yells, there's a guy next door Indangelo's. He's got a

73
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,160
gun and rush out of the candy store and I

74
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,839
hit the streak as this guy with a gun in

75
00:04:41,879 --> 00:04:44,759
his hand, and I yelled, halt, But he doesn't. He

76
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,319
spins around any fires.

77
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,639
Speaker 1: And what happens I don't know.

78
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: The shop's the loudest shot I ever heard in my

79
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:55,720
whole life.

80
00:04:56,319 --> 00:04:59,639
Speaker 1: Always wakes me up, Eddie, call him sick.

81
00:05:00,319 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 5: Nope, not on my last day.

82
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:04,879
Speaker 4: But you got the time off coming.

83
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,759
Speaker 3: Mayrah, Honey, I'm gonna put in my twenty seven years

84
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,560
fair and square. Hey, turn on the radio. Let's hear

85
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,199
the news.

86
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,439
Speaker 4: Oh, okay, of the radio.

87
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, the radio. Oh, I can't Why what's the matter?

88
00:05:20,079 --> 00:05:21,079
Speaker 4: It's broken?

89
00:05:21,879 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 3: It is when I was getting up just before I

90
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:25,399
thought I heard it.

91
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 4: Well you did, but it just quit all of a sudden.

92
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 5: Well, let me see if I can fix it.

93
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 4: So take my word for it.

94
00:05:31,639 --> 00:05:36,399
Speaker 3: Eddie, Come on, Mayra, what is it? You don't want

95
00:05:36,439 --> 00:05:39,480
me to hear now, Eddie, I'll know about it sooner

96
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:39,959
or later.

97
00:05:41,079 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 4: I was hoping it would be later.

98
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,079
Speaker 5: Tell me what it was.

99
00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 4: Well, A cop was shot early this morning, a hold

100
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:55,839
up in an all night cafeteria. Ooh, Coler, George Coohler,

101
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:57,240
did you know him?

102
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 5: You know him too?

103
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 3: His father was the first partner I had on the force,

104
00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:03,000
Henry Coller.

105
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,079
Speaker 5: You hand me the phone book.

106
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,079
Speaker 3: I think the kid was with the Southwest precinct, Eddie.

107
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,519
Speaker 4: I want you to listen to me.

108
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: Southwest here it is, Oh.

Speaker 1: Take it easy.

111
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 5: Sarzant Rowland.

112
00:06:26,319 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 3: I'm patrolling Edward Mason with a twenty fifth precinct about

00:06:29,879 --> 00:06:35,560
Georgia coler I I called to see if he needs blood.

00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:43,879
Oh yeah, sure, kid died an hour ago.

115
00:06:44,519 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 2: Eddie.

116
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:47,879
Speaker 1: I think I better leave now.

117
00:06:48,439 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 4: You haven't even had your breakfast.

Speaker 4: In early, Eddie. Watch yourself.

121
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 3: You know, that's what you always say, and that's what

122
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:13,959
I always do, Hoddie. I thought sure the Captain was

123
00:07:13,959 --> 00:07:16,079
going to make a little speech this morning about what

124
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,839
oh about this being your last day and all.

125
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, well I asked him not to.

126
00:07:21,879 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 3: I'll miss you, Eddie. I'll tell you. I think you're

127
00:07:25,519 --> 00:07:26,439
the best cop.

128
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:26,879
Speaker 1: I ever knew.

129
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: How come you will wind up after twenty seven years

130
00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:31,920
just pounding the beast.

131
00:07:32,279 --> 00:07:33,439
Speaker 1: I like to beat Frank.

132
00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 5: You get to know the people, you get to be involved.

133
00:07:36,959 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: That's where I disagree, Eddie.

134
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:41,279
Speaker 3: It's a job, all I want to do is put

135
00:07:41,319 --> 00:07:44,160
in my eight hours and get home, especially now I'm

136
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:44,839
getting married.

137
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,439
Speaker 1: Congratulations, Frank.

138
00:07:46,759 --> 00:07:48,639
Speaker 3: Look at what she gives me for a wedding present.

139
00:07:49,079 --> 00:07:52,279
She says to me, Honey, I want you well taken

140
00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:52,720
care of.

141
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,199
Speaker 5: I must say, it's an unusual gift.

142
00:07:57,439 --> 00:07:57,839
Speaker 1: Revolver.

143
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 3: How can you just call this a revolver? It's like

144
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,800
calling the mona Lisa picture. It's a custom made thirty

145
00:08:07,839 --> 00:08:10,959
eight special that but is a mother of pearl. It's

146
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,399
pure ivaly be graving. It's a work of arts, feel

147
00:08:15,439 --> 00:08:17,600
of balance, trigger it.

148
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:20,759
Speaker 1: What do you say?

149
00:08:22,079 --> 00:08:23,959
Speaker 3: All I can say is I wish we didn't have

150
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:24,920
to carry guns?

151
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: Are you nuts? How can you be a copper not

152
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:28,519
carry a gun.

153
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 3: Cops don't carry guns in England, your kid, The cops

154
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,600
there don't carry guns, So most of your criminals don't

155
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,679
carry guns either. Look, Eddie, the very fact that you've

156
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,080
got that revolver riding on your hip, don't.

157
00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:45,919
Speaker 1: I give you a sense of security? No?

158
00:08:46,279 --> 00:08:49,159
Speaker 3: Oh, come on, all the times in the past twenty

159
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,759
seven years that you had to go to the host,

160
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,799
where would you be if there was no gun there?

161
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,720
But I've never gone to the holster. Frank never what

162
00:08:56,639 --> 00:08:57,080
that's right?

163
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: Frank?

164
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 3: Never are you telling me you've been a cop twenty

165
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,960
seven years and not once in all that time did

166
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,000
you ever have to draw your gun? In twenty seven years,

167
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,360
I never have been forced to fire a single shot.

168
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: I can't believe it.

169
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,919
Speaker 3: You you got an arrest record as good as any

170
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,120
man in the precinct. Some of your collars have been

171
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,759
real rough characters. And you say you never went for

172
00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:19,200
the gun.

173
00:09:19,399 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: I never won. Swim for the gun? Want your bag?

174
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,960
Half of these guys been lucky.

175
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,039
Speaker 3: I guess that has got to be the most single

176
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,840
sensational streak the luck.

177
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 5: And I only hope it'll go on for one more day.

178
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:42,919
Speaker 3: That's what I'm praying for, Frank, Just one more day. Hello, Tommy,

179
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:44,720
what do you want, Copper?

180
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,759
Speaker 5: What do you want? Tommy?

181
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:47,399
Speaker 6: Oh?

182
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:48,759
Speaker 1: It's a public street.

183
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,279
Speaker 3: Ann No, not exactly a public it's an alleyway used

184
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,240
as a loading dock for this warehouse.

185
00:09:54,279 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 5: You got any business here?

186
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 7: Well, I'm just passing through.

187
00:09:58,759 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 3: You wouldn't buy any chance case in the joints me

188
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,559
figuring out maybe a little breaking entry tonight.

189
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 7: Would you stop me like this if I was a

190
00:10:06,799 --> 00:10:09,279
rich old guy? Now you see it's the poor and

191
00:10:09,399 --> 00:10:11,720
the downtrodden that get pushed around by the law.

192
00:10:11,879 --> 00:10:13,919
Speaker 5: Against a wall here, Tommy, what.

193
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,399
Speaker 7: Do you want to frisk me for?

194
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm clean?

195
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,879
Speaker 5: Not Tommy, I'm about this ship.

196
00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:21,279
Speaker 7: Well, I got to protect myself, don't I.

197
00:10:21,759 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: The law will protect you, Tommy.

198
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 3: Well, I just hold on to this and you won't

199
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,679
be tempted to get into trouble.

200
00:10:28,919 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 7: Is that all, Santa Claus?

201
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,399
Speaker 3: Why don't you go back to school, get yourself an education?

202
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: Are you for real?

203
00:10:35,919 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 3: It's the only way. Tommy, you're breaking my eyes. Don't

204
00:10:39,879 --> 00:10:41,600
you want to get anywhere now?

205
00:10:41,759 --> 00:10:42,039
Speaker 1: Sarah?

206
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:42,399
Speaker 7: Not me?

207
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 5: Why not?

208
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: Well?

209
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 7: I guess I'm like you, Weddie.

210
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: What did you have a gift?

211
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,919
Speaker 7: You put in twenty seven years and you're still a

212
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,960
uniform cop. Now, I can understand it if you were

213
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,039
making money down here, but you two don't even shake

214
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:57,480
down the storekeepers.

215
00:10:57,639 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 5: Okay, punk beat it.

216
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 7: I understand when you're retiring tomorrow aready and all you

217
00:11:02,519 --> 00:11:06,200
got is your pension and you're telling me to be smart?

218
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:07,519
Speaker 1: I said, be that.

219
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 4: Good morning Eddie, Good morning mam Eddie. Maybe you better

220
00:11:19,159 --> 00:11:21,240
come into the store for a minute.

221
00:11:21,759 --> 00:11:23,039
Speaker 5: What is it, mom?

222
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 4: Well, I don't know. I got a funny feeling.

223
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: You too, What do you mean?

224
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 4: Me too?

225
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,279
Speaker 1: What? Nothing?

226
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 4: I was opening up the store this morning. You know,

227
00:11:36,799 --> 00:11:38,120
Benny's got this guy Attica.

228
00:11:38,879 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 3: Hey did he go see the stock Dot told you about?

229
00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 4: Did he ever go see a doctor in his life?

230
00:11:45,039 --> 00:11:47,879
So I just put out the papers on the stand

231
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,639
and this man, a Youngish man, oh maybe city years old.

232
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:57,080
He picks up a paper, throws down some money, walks away.

233
00:11:57,519 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: What about him?

234
00:11:58,159 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 3: Mom?

235
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 4: I don't know. His face was familiar.

236
00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: In what way?

237
00:12:03,039 --> 00:12:05,399
Speaker 4: Well? You know me, I'm always looking at the papers.

238
00:12:06,039 --> 00:12:12,440
I recognized him, some gangster, you know, yeah, crook? Hold up, man,

239
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,240
I've seen that face in the papers, but I can't

240
00:12:16,279 --> 00:12:17,159
remember the name.

241
00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:19,799
Speaker 3: Wait wait, and what connection would you have seen him

242
00:12:19,799 --> 00:12:20,279
in the paper?

243
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 4: Well? Like maybe a man that escaped from jail.

244
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 5: Try and think more.

245
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 4: I'll try, But it ain't no good, you know me, Eddie,

246
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,679
let something once fly out of my head and wild

247
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,360
horses couldn't drag it back. Benny, he says the same thing.

248
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,519
But you know who could tell you who this kid? Tommy?

249
00:12:43,759 --> 00:12:46,759
He eats breakfast with me here every morning. What can

250
00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:50,120
I do? The father's are drunk and the mother. Ugh,

251
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,360
Tommy's seen him too. So I says to Tommy. I says, Tommy,

252
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,480
do you know who that is? And he says, no,

253
00:12:57,639 --> 00:12:59,960
I don't, but I could tell by the way he

254
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,519
said no, I don't. The answer was yes, I do.

255
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 3: Telling me maybe I can get it out of him.

256
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 4: And he don't bother with it.

257
00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: What do you mean don't bother with it?

258
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:14,159
Speaker 4: Well, in the first place, he ain't gonna tell you.

259
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:19,480
And in the second place, it's your last day, on

260
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:24,279
your last day, please don't look for trouble.

261
00:13:31,279 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: Come out in Lucas. I ain't you busted out of

262
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,279
the slam. How's your wake it? Let's get out of business,

263
00:13:39,399 --> 00:13:43,320
just go. That's what I like about you, Lucas. You're sociable.

264
00:13:43,399 --> 00:13:45,279
Speaker 8: I called you because I need a wheelman, and you're the.

265
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: Best of his. I used to be monest, but why

266
00:13:49,159 --> 00:13:49,519
fight it.

267
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 8: You're like twenty maybe thirty minutes stops.

268
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: You get twenty five percent of what.

269
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 8: Come over by the window across the street on the corner.

270
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,679
You got a candy store next to it. See the

271
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,080
sign Dangelo's Jewelry.

272
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:09,399
Speaker 1: That's it?

273
00:14:10,039 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: You mean you want to knock off a jewelry store?

274
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:18,559
A little neighborhood ice parlor. Well, it's been great talking

275
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,240
to you, Lucas. C you around if the fuds don't

276
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:21,639

277
00:14:21,799 --> 00:14:24,399
Speaker 1: What's wrong with it? What's wrong with it? What do

278
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:25,320

279
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 9: There?

280
00:14:25,519 --> 00:14:28,639
Speaker 1: The Kohino diamond? For crying out loud? All right?

281
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,559
Speaker 3: Say you can empty your mount What do you get?

gotta fence every penny and pennies is all a fence

284

will give you.

285
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,679
Speaker 8: I don't want what's on a counter or on a shelves?

286
00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: Oh, what do you want? What's in a safe?

287
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 8: He's holding half a million bucks worth of uncut diamonds.

288
00:14:46,679 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: How do you know?

289
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,759
Speaker 8: He's holding them for some guys that smuggle him out

290
00:14:49,759 --> 00:14:50,679
of South Africa?

291
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,399
Speaker 1: Where'd you get the tip?

292
00:14:53,399 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 8: Guys in jail with me telling him a good turn?

293
00:14:55,519 --> 00:14:57,679
Speaker 1: So are you giving to me? And I know her?

294
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 8: I can get a quarter million for the ice you're

295
00:15:00,759 --> 00:15:02,279

296
00:15:03,639 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: You want me to keep talking? I'm all is, Lucas?

297
00:15:07,639 --> 00:15:11,240
What time you got on your watch? Eight forty five?

298
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 8: Right now the cop on the beat's gonna walk out

299
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:14,960
of the candy store.

300
00:15:15,039 --> 00:15:20,559
Speaker 6: Watch see, yeah, there he goes he's gonna go in

301
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:26,679
the jewelry store, see, and he'll be there exactly two

302
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,360
and a half minutes. I do you know, I've been

303
00:15:29,399 --> 00:15:31,440
watching this cop eight hours a day for more than

304
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,960
a week. I know every movie makes I know where

305
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,879
he's gonna be every minute.

306
00:15:37,519 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: Well, that's good.

307
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,159
Speaker 3: The biggest problem you've got on any job is a

308
00:15:42,159 --> 00:15:43,919
cop who comes wandering along.

309
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,399
Speaker 1: I don't know. Why don't you worry about this cop?

310
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,919
Speaker 8: He just ain't gonna be no problem at all.

311
00:15:55,799 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: After nine eight hundred and fifty five days on the job,

312
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,000
will Patrolman Eddie Mason finally have to draw his service

313
00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:08,440
revolver in the line of duty. The two gentlemen whose

314
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,799
conversation we have just overheard would seem to be the

315
00:16:11,879 --> 00:16:14,919
type who could very well make him do it. I

316
00:16:14,919 --> 00:16:29,360
shall return shortly with that too. I am the master

317
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:35,240
of my fate, says the poet, not quite answers the realist,

318
00:16:35,639 --> 00:16:37,799
and he would seem to have the best of the argument.

319
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,440
The fact is so much of our fate lies in

320
00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:45,440
the hands of others. Much of life is spent adjusting

321
00:16:45,519 --> 00:16:49,759
to or countering moves by other people, people who may

322
00:16:49,799 --> 00:16:53,480
neither know of nor care about our existence. Some of

323
00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:57,000
these may be good moves. Some are not such good moves,

324
00:16:57,639 --> 00:17:01,120
particularly the ones being pondered at prest by two young

325
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,320
men who are peering out the window of a flat

326
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,000
in a dingy tenement building. I have to hit the

327
00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:09,599
joint at exactly ten minutes to four.

328
00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:12,279
Speaker 1: Why so late? At eleven minutes.

329
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 8: Of the cop goes into the candy store next door,

330
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,000
and he has a plate of ice cream. I can

331
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:22,119
even tell you what kind vanilla with strawberry syrup.

332
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,839
Speaker 1: Oh, you gotta be out of this world, Lucas, who

333
00:17:25,839 --> 00:17:26,599
could believe you?

334
00:17:26,759 --> 00:17:29,839

00:20:21,519 --> 00:20:25,440
I'm always careful. He always carries a big gun, likes

393
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,480
to use it. We better ask to have an extra

00:20:28,519 --> 00:20:30,359
car patrol the area.

00:20:30,599 --> 00:20:32,039

00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,839

410
00:21:20,319 --> 00:21:20,519
Speaker 1: Mom?

00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,319
Speaker 4: Why do you think I am wrong? Eddie?

412
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,839
Speaker 3: If I tell you, you say I'm crazy?

413
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:29,559

Speaker 4: You crazy? It's impossible.

415
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 3: Today is well, the only thing I can think of

416
00:21:37,319 --> 00:21:40,519
to call it is Today's the day of the gun.

417
00:21:41,039 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 4: The day of the gun? Now, what is this, Eddie?

418
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: The law of averages?

419
00:21:45,319 --> 00:21:49,079
Speaker 3: Mom, the law of averages suddenly realizes that me Edward

420
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,319
Mason has been breaking it far too long.

421
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,039
Speaker 4: Now that sounds crazy, you know.

422
00:21:54,599 --> 00:21:56,519
Speaker 3: So today we have to have the day of the

423
00:21:56,599 --> 00:21:58,960
gun to make up for all the days we didn't

424
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,599
have one. I won't want to talk this way to

425
00:22:01,599 --> 00:22:02,200
anybody but.

426
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,559
Speaker 1: You, Mom.

427
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 4: Eddie, what is this about a gun?

428
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,799
Speaker 3: Wherever I turn today, I'm looking down the barrel of

429
00:22:09,799 --> 00:22:13,599
a gun. Last night I dreamed about a gun this morning,

430
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,160
A cop I knew since he was a kid is

431
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,079
gun to death.

432
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hit it on the radio.

433
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 3: I come to work and Frank makes a big deal

434
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,440
out of his brand new custom made service revolver, a

435
00:22:25,519 --> 00:22:26,680
gift from his fiance.

436
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:31,279
Speaker 4: No less, what kind of gift? All right, each is own.

437
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 3: And now we have mad Dog Jackie Lucas, who I

438
00:22:35,319 --> 00:22:36,759
think was weaned on a gun.

439
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, but what does he want here?

440
00:22:40,319 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 5: I think he wants me.

441
00:22:41,799 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 4: What kind of talk is this? Did he know you?

442
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,839
Speaker 5: No, Mom, and I don't know him either.

443
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 4: Then what do you say?

444
00:22:48,039 --> 00:22:51,839
Speaker 3: And I'm saying, I got this feeling. I can't shake it.

445
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,960
Just one more day, that's all I want, just one

446
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,720
more day, and I know, I just know I can't

447
00:22:58,759 --> 00:22:59,039
have it.

448
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,039
Speaker 5: Listen, you say you saw this.

449
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,519
Speaker 4: Guy, Well, I could have been mistaken.

450
00:23:06,799 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 3: Ah, that doesn't help. If he's in the neighborhood, I

451
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,680
have to know. Could Tommy have seen.

452
00:23:11,519 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: Where he went?

453
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:13,519
Speaker 4: Could Tommy you see?

454
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: Yeah?

455
00:23:14,559 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 4: Sure, And I'll tell you why, because when I asked

456
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,759
Tommy if he knew the fella, Tommy went to the

457
00:23:20,839 --> 00:23:25,279
door and he looked, so wherever he went, Tommy would

458
00:23:25,279 --> 00:23:26,000
have seen him.

459
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:27,079
Speaker 1: Yeah.

460
00:23:27,079 --> 00:23:28,319
Speaker 5: Thanks Mom, for what.

501
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 7: I can't prove nothing by me, Tommy.

502
00:25:36,519 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 4: If a person like this is in the neighborhood, Eddie

503
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:39,880
should know about it.

504
00:25:40,079 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 7: A lot of things that he should know, But he's

505
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:42,480
a chump.

506
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:43,839
Speaker 4: Eddie's a good cop.

507
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 7: There ain't no such animal as a good cop.

508
00:25:46,519 --> 00:25:49,319
Speaker 4: Don't you talk that boy about Eddie. Was there ever

509
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:53,000
a hungry person on this block? Edie buy him groceries?

510
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,160
And your own father? How many times does Eddie carry

511
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,920
him upstairs when he's dead drunk?

512
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 7: Why don't own business and leave the old bum and

513
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:01,839
a gutter?

514
00:26:02,079 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 4: Tommy, you can't say that about your own father, even

515
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:11,480
if it's true. Believe me, Eddie's on your side.

516
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: Hello, Tommy, Wow, look who's here?

517
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 7: You're all Santa Claus in a blue coat? Here? What

518
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:18,559
happened your whiskers?

519
00:26:18,799 --> 00:26:21,079
Speaker 3: I want you to look at the picture on the circular.

520
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 7: I'm glad the lies you know, sport, the local fuzz

521
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:24,559
all the way.

522
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: That's my style.

523
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,759
Speaker 5: Look familiar, of course, that's.

524
00:26:28,519 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 4: The pushing you and I saw this morning.

525
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:31,599
Speaker 1: Tommy.

526
00:26:33,039 --> 00:26:34,759
Speaker 7: I never seen him before in all my life.

527
00:26:35,279 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 3: Okay, you walked through it to the door to get

528
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:37,759
a bit of look.

529
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: Oh did you did well?

530
00:26:40,039 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 7: I may have walked to the door because a good

531
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,319
looking dame was walking past.

532
00:26:43,559 --> 00:26:46,319
Speaker 1: Which way do you go? Which way? Who go?

533
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 3: The guy on the circular, the guy I'm looking for,

534
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:50,200
Jack Lucas.

535
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you which way you want one. I

536
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:52,960
never seen him.

537
00:26:54,519 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 5: Okay, Tommy, have it you away?

538
00:26:56,559 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: What do you mean? Habit my way?

539
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 7: What do you want for me? What am I a cop?

540
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,880
Am I supposed to go around looking for escape cons?

541
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,319
I don't get paid the word badge?

542
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:06,759
Speaker 1: Why do I have to do your work?

543
00:27:07,839 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 7: Maybe if you spend more time being a cop, unless

544
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,960
time hustling drunks out of the gutter and helping a

545
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,279
bunch of dead beats pay the rent and quit being

546
00:27:14,319 --> 00:27:17,400
big doddy good old uncle Leddie. Maybe if you spend

547
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,119
more time being a cop, a real cop, you'd find

548
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:20,720
of yourself.

549
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm getting out of here. What's a real cop, Tommy, sir.

550
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:35,519
Speaker 4: What they call it is their boy Eddie. He doesn't

551
00:27:35,599 --> 00:27:39,519
respect me, ma'am. H, don't say that.

552
00:27:39,519 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 5: It's the truth.

553
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 4: You are the best cop on a whole force.

554
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 3: No, I'd beat the best cop if I opened somebody's

555
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,920
skull with a billy club or gun down some crook.

556
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,920
That's what he's been taught to respect, Eddie.

557
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 4: He really looks on you as a father.

558
00:27:56,319 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 5: That's no compliment.

559
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:06,319
Speaker 4: Well just think tomorrow you'll be a retired man.

560
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's tomorrow. Meanwhile, I still got today, just

561
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,200
one more day.

562
00:28:21,079 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 2: Long ago, a poet wrote, be the day short, or

563
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:30,960
ever so long? It creepeth at last to evensong, and

564
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:36,039
the longest day for Patrolman Edward Mason also creeps reluctantly

565
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:37,200
to its close.

566
00:28:38,079 --> 00:28:39,519
Speaker 1: But before it ends.

567
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 2: Finally, a certain event is scheduled to take place, and

568
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,200
looking at it analytically, there are three possibilities. A. It

569
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,440
will be canceled. B it will be postponed. See it

570
00:28:52,480 --> 00:29:07,720
will happen. I shall return shortly with act three. Our

571
00:29:07,799 --> 00:29:11,119
dream is about to come true. For Patrolman Edward Mason.

572
00:29:11,799 --> 00:29:15,640
The trouble is he doesn't know which dream. He has

573
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,960
two of them. The first is that he'll be able

574
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,359
to complete twenty seven years as a police officer without

575
00:29:22,559 --> 00:29:25,240
firing a shot in the line of duty, and the

576
00:29:25,279 --> 00:29:29,359
second dream is that he won't. It is now two

577
00:29:29,359 --> 00:29:31,920
o'clock in the afternoon of his last day on the force,

578
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,799
and he has two hours to go. All twenty seven

579
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,359
years are now compressed into two hours, one hundred and

580
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:44,160
twenty minutes seventy two hundred seconds, and Eddie can feel

581
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,599
the beat of each of them.

582
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: Ah, Edgy.

583
00:29:51,119 --> 00:29:56,279
Speaker 3: Mom says, you wanted to see me, Jimmy, Edgy, look

584
00:29:56,319 --> 00:29:56,599
at you.

585
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,599
Speaker 1: I don't know. Should I love? Should I cry? Well

586
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,480
to both Jimmy, see what you like better? Eh?

587
00:30:04,519 --> 00:30:10,519
Speaker 11: I cry because twenty seven years Ady, where did it go?

588
00:30:11,279 --> 00:30:11,799
Speaker 1: Touch me?

589
00:30:12,079 --> 00:30:16,839
Speaker 11: But I laugh because tomorrow you are a retired man,

590
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:23,960
a free man. And then I cried because I lose

591
00:30:24,039 --> 00:30:25,119
an old friend.

592
00:30:25,319 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: How can you lose all friends? Eddie.

593
00:30:29,039 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 11: We're going to have a wonderful dinner tonight.

594
00:30:31,839 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 5: Tonight.

595
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 3: Oh no, I think my wife said we were invited to.

596
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 7: Oh sure, we fixed it with Myra.

597
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 8: There's going to be a bigger dinner in Cleanse's restaurant.

598
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,279
Speaker 1: For you, for me.

599
00:30:42,839 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 11: Everybody is coming Mama Feldman and Schmidt the Butcher, and

600
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,279
Pedro and Jerry the plower.

601
00:30:48,519 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: The whole neighborhood is supposed to be a surprise.

602
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:57,079
Speaker 11: Oh I shouldn't have told you. Don't ask me why

603
00:30:57,119 --> 00:31:00,559
I told you, Okay, Jimmy, I want to ask you.

604
00:31:00,079 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: Know why I told you. I don't know what got

605
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:02,359
into me.

606
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 11: I just want to make sure you know how how

607
00:31:06,759 --> 00:31:09,440
how everybody here feels about you.

608
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,519
Speaker 1: It's just look, you're coup.

609
00:31:14,079 --> 00:31:18,039
Speaker 11: You understand, any minute, some bomb, some some gum on.

610
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: You know how it is. I just felt I had

611
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:22,039
to tell you.

612
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 5: I understand.

613
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: Let me tell you the rest. You've got a promise

614
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,359
to act. Surprise when you get it.

615
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 5: When I get what?

616
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got to hear the drawer to watch.

617
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 5: Oh hey, that's it.

618
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,039
Speaker 1: Say what I engraved on the back. It's my finest

619
00:31:39,079 --> 00:31:44,759
work to Edward Francis Mason, Eddie a man of the low,

620
00:31:46,039 --> 00:31:47,480
and put it back until tonight.

621
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 3: Jimmy, Well what he got in that drawer?

622
00:31:55,079 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: A revolver? Jimmy, what I got a license for it? Eddie?

623
00:32:01,759 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 3: Times have changed, I know, but you can't change him

624
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:05,519
back with a gun.

625
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 11: Nobody gonna come into my jewelry shop and hold me up.

626
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 3: You want to get killed, Jimmy, what's gotten into you?

627
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: That gun?

628
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 3: He won't settle anything.

629
00:32:13,519 --> 00:32:16,119
Speaker 1: You'll maybe settle a few crooks. You show the gun,

630
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,119
you force them the killing.

631
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:22,559
Speaker 11: These animals today, they kill you anyhow. Believe me, Eddie,

632
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,440
you're getting out just in time. You're not a coup

633
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:27,240
for today.

634
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,079
Speaker 3: Promise me you won't do anything foolish?

635
00:32:31,119 --> 00:32:34,319
Speaker 11: How can any human being make such a promise?

636
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: Hey, Eddie, what's up? Frank?

637
00:32:43,799 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 3: Nothing rose in the neighborhood, soars Rogers.

638
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:48,519
Speaker 5: Anyone's spinning anything?

639
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: Not a smell.

640
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,839
Speaker 3: Lucas is here, he's sacked up tight.

641
00:32:53,359 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 5: I'll keep looking.

642
00:32:55,039 --> 00:32:58,799
Speaker 3: Just think, Eddie, forty more minutes. You're out of it forever.

643
00:32:59,599 --> 00:33:02,759
Why is it twenty after three already? As if you

644
00:33:02,839 --> 00:33:06,440
ain't clock on every second, I would say you're over the.

645
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,359
Speaker 1: Hump, twenty after three one.

646
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 3: I turn around the beat and then I hand it

647
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,079
over to Smitty Twain.

648
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: You and me, Eddie.

649
00:33:14,559 --> 00:33:17,559
Speaker 3: I don't think Mom actually seeing this mad dog Locus,

650
00:33:17,759 --> 00:33:19,960
Well she did. He was just passing through.

651
00:33:20,599 --> 00:33:24,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, see you back at the station house. Okay, and Eddie,

652
00:33:24,839 --> 00:33:32,720
keep your eyes open. Huh, give me.

653
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 7: A pack of cigarettes some tommy.

654
00:33:35,759 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 4: You want to come to the dinner tonight?

655
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,119
Speaker 7: Me pay five bucks to eat with a cop.

656
00:33:40,559 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 4: I'll pay for you.

657
00:33:41,839 --> 00:33:43,039
Speaker 7: Why don't you get off my back?

658
00:33:43,759 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 1: Uh?

659
00:33:44,559 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 4: Who's bothering? Which year?

660
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 7: And don't ask me if I seen this guy who

661
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,480
was asking? Because the answer is no.

662
00:33:52,799 --> 00:34:14,559
Speaker 1: You had a phone boot right in the back nikes. Ah, yeah,

663
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,119
it's made chess go. I'm in a candy store. You set.

664
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,920

hard top near the fire plug.

666
00:34:22,639 --> 00:34:24,800
Speaker 1: You'll see I'm set. Listen.

667
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 3: I want to ask you something. Is there a chance

668
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,119
somebody could have fingered you?

669
00:34:29,679 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: What do you mean? Well, I mean your picture's been

670
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,519
in the paper. You could have been spotted. No way?

671
00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 3: And what was the Proud card doing outside? Two minutes ago?

672
00:34:39,599 --> 00:34:41,559
The cop in the car was talking to the cop

673
00:34:41,599 --> 00:34:44,280
on the beat that they been talking about you.

674
00:34:44,559 --> 00:34:48,320

00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,079
I told you, I know every movie these clowns.

680
00:34:59,639 --> 00:35:02,360

683
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:17,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like yesterday it was winter and today at summer.

684
00:35:18,119 --> 00:35:19,119
What happened to spring?

685
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,559
Speaker 1: Don't ask me? What do you get for an ice

686
00:35:22,559 --> 00:35:23,199
cream soda?

687
00:35:23,639 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 4: Forty cents?

00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: I can't remember when the cossed a quarter.

689
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,039
Speaker 4: I can remember when I sold him for.

690
00:35:29,079 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 3: A dime forty cents, but you get two scoops?

691
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: Uh, give me a black and white. Ain't of a

00:35:38,079 --> 00:35:40,679
crime the way prices the sky high today?

693
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 7: Yeah?

694
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:47,199
Speaker 4: Where will it end? H Tommy? I already paid the

695
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:48,679
five dollars for Benny.

696
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 7: I should have heard gone.

697
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 4: I just talked to Bennie on the telephone. He can't

698
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:57,360
even get out of bed. Why should the money go

699
00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:58,159
to waste?

700
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,960

Speaker 4: We got a cop on the beat, such a wonderful man.

00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,440

706
00:36:21,079 --> 00:36:21,800

707
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,639
Speaker 1: Hey is at the right time in your clock?

708
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,880

00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 1: It can't be three forty seven. My watch, my wife stopped.

710
00:36:32,519 --> 00:36:34,960
How do you like that? Stopped before?

711
00:36:35,519 --> 00:36:38,599
Speaker 4: Take it next to her? We got a jeweler, mister D'Angelo,

712
00:36:39,039 --> 00:36:39,960
The man's a genius.

713
00:36:42,599 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 7: Day.

714
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 4: You're two minutes early.

715
00:36:45,679 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 3: That's your car parked outside?

716
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is an officer.

717
00:36:49,199 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 3: You're kind of close to the fireplug. That'll be twelve

718
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:52,039
feet away.

719
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: Okay, officer, I'll thank care of it. Thanks for telling me.

720
00:36:55,519 --> 00:36:56,599
Speaker 5: You can finish your soup.

721
00:36:56,599 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: It's okay. You want to diet anyhow.

722
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,079
Speaker 4: What a nice young fellow. The usual.

723
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, weight as well.

724
00:37:06,519 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 4: Go easy on the syrup, though, Eddie, I can't tell

725
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,199
you how glad I am. The day is over.

726
00:37:13,119 --> 00:37:15,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just about over. And I made it.

727
00:37:16,559 --> 00:37:18,199
Speaker 4: I am so happy for you.

728
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:22,079
Speaker 5: I made it, mom, But I cheated.

729
00:37:22,639 --> 00:37:23,679
Speaker 4: What are you talking about.

730
00:37:24,039 --> 00:37:26,599
Speaker 3: It's like a pitcher on baseball who was trying for

731
00:37:26,639 --> 00:37:27,199
a no hitter.

732
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

733
00:37:28,039 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 4: From baseball? I know nothing.

734
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 3: Well, the first couple of innings he doesn't realize it,

735
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,400
but as the game goes on he becomes aware of it.

736
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 4: I still don't understand.

737
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:38,079
Speaker 1: The gun thing.

738
00:37:38,159 --> 00:37:41,639
Speaker 3: I mean, it's become bigger than anything else would make

739
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,280
me different. Give me something to brag about.

740
00:37:45,639 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 4: Eddie, don't be sataped with yourself.

741
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 3: This escape gunman Jack Lucas. I haven't really been looking

742
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:52,880
for him.

743
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 4: Which you don't even know if he's around here.

744
00:37:55,559 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 3: We know he's here, mom, but you see, my record

745
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,880
is more important to me than my is a cop.

746
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:02,679
I don't want to find him.

747
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 4: I don't believe you.

748
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 3: I've been going through the motions. I haven't really been looking.

749
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,800
You know why, because if I find him, I know

750
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,599
I'll have to shoot. So I'm sweating out four o'clock

751
00:38:12,639 --> 00:38:16,199
and four o'clock is eight minutes away.

752
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,119
Speaker 4: Eddie. You want to finish your career without using your gun,

753
00:38:21,559 --> 00:38:22,960
not just for pride.

754
00:38:23,559 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 5: I know myself, Mom.

755
00:38:25,079 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 4: I know you better than you know yourself. You want

756
00:38:28,559 --> 00:38:30,880
to prove that a cop don't have to be a

757
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,639
man as violent as the criminals, except he wears a

758
00:38:35,679 --> 00:38:38,320
badge and he's got the right to smash heads.

759
00:38:40,519 --> 00:38:40,880
Speaker 1: All right.

760
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 3: The ice cream is in the syrup is blood red,

761
00:38:45,559 --> 00:38:46,320
just like a dream.

762
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:50,280
Speaker 4: What you're trying to tell everybody is, look, a cop

763
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:55,159
can be kind and understanding and a human beast.

764
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 3: I don't think I can eat it, mom, Eddie, something to.

765
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:05,199
Speaker 7: Matter hey, Eddie, Yeah, what is it you gotta?

766
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 5: What do you want?

767
00:39:06,639 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 4: Punk?

768
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 7: Nothing?

769
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,199
Speaker 3: You're gonna like the cop who's gonna walk this beat tomorrow.

770
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:13,920
He's your kind of cough Eddy.

771
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: What is he? Don't say?

772
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,320

Speaker 4: But what Eddie.

781
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 3: He wouldn't let the hood take the watch.

00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 1: Oh this watch. Read what it says.

783
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 4: I know what it says.

00:40:17,599 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 1: I killed the guy. I know he fired first.

785
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:23,559
Speaker 4: That's what everyone says.

786
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,679
Speaker 3: He's thirty two years old, spent twelve years in jail.

787
00:40:28,679 --> 00:40:30,840
He had to end like this one day. He was

788
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,119
searching for this day. He was waiting for it.

789
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:34,679
Speaker 4: That's right, Eddie.

790
00:40:36,119 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 1: Listen.

791
00:40:36,679 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 5: Uh.

792
00:40:38,079 --> 00:40:41,199
Speaker 3: I told the commissioner that since I'm still on the fifty,

793
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,159
I can put in thirty years instead of twenty seven.

794
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:49,639
All right, Eddie, they need me on that beat.

795
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:51,599
Speaker 1: You're my myra.

796
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 4: I don't mind. They need you, Eddie.

797
00:40:59,519 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 9: See what it says to Edward Francis Mason, Eddie, a

798
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:12,519
man of the law. Guys like you a few far between.

799
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:18,079
Speaker 3: Nah, there's lots of guys like me. Guys will pray

800
00:41:18,199 --> 00:41:23,119
for just one more day. Well, just because I didn't

801
00:41:23,119 --> 00:41:25,400
get it, don't mean I have to walk out.

802
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,519
Speaker 1: I'll just start all over again.

803
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:39,519
Speaker 2: Just one more day, a modest enough request. There are

804
00:41:39,559 --> 00:41:43,440
so many days, so many uneventful days, so many dull

805
00:41:43,559 --> 00:41:45,360
days in which nothing happens.

806
00:41:46,199 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: And yet when Eddie Mason prayed for just one.

807
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,760
Speaker 2: More of them, suddenly it became too precious a gift.

808
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:55,639
Speaker 1: I'll be back.

809
00:41:55,440 --> 00:42:13,679
Speaker 2: Shortly, because they come and go without effort, without notice,

810
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,960
because one follows another swiftly and regularly.

811
00:42:17,639 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 1: Do not take your days for granted.

812
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:24,679
Speaker 2: Each is special, Each has its own meaning and his

813
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:28,519
own place in the scheme of your life. Each one

814
00:42:28,679 --> 00:42:31,960
added to the other shapes the meaning of your existence.

815
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,320
And hopefully you will always be able to ask for

816
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:41,199
and receive just one more day of whatever it takes

817
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:46,079
to make you happy. Our cast included Theodore biquel E

818
00:42:46,199 --> 00:42:50,280
v Jester, Jackson, Beck, Ken Harvey, and Jack Grimes. The

819
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,119
entire production was under the direction of Hyman Brown.

820
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,559
Speaker 12: Well, my name is Matt, and today I was supposed

821
00:42:57,599 --> 00:42:59,719
to get married to the girl I loved more than

822
00:43:00,079 --> 00:43:00,920
anything else.

823
00:43:00,679 --> 00:43:04,039
Speaker 1: In the world. Her name is Angela. See.

824
00:43:04,079 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 12: We were all at my bachelor party doing shots, and

825
00:43:07,639 --> 00:43:09,599
then my buddy Mike, who I've known since we used

826
00:43:09,599 --> 00:43:12,920
to raise tricycles together, whipped out some coke in the bathroom.

827
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,519
I did four spoons and died right there in the stall.

828
00:43:17,519 --> 00:43:22,559
Cardiac arreste said, a heart attack. In the last second

829
00:43:22,639 --> 00:43:26,679
before I died, I thought of Angie and how we

830
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:30,360
had everything, how she'd start a sentence and I'd finish it,

831
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:34,280
or how our hands fit together when we held the

832
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,280
day we fell in love, and the dunes at the

833
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,280
beach and then we cried the night we got engaged,

834
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,199
and how she wanted boys and I wanted anything with

835
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,719
ten fingers and ten toes. How it was going to

836
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:52,519
be Matt and Angie. Angie.
