<v Speaker 2>Oh wait a minute. Where is here?

37
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:58.520
<v Speaker 4>Thirty eight forty sun Swept Drive. It's a studio city

38
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:01.159
<v Speaker 4>just across the coun from Hollyood thirty Canyon.

39
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Now look, mister Kettering, right, okay, okay, all right, mister

40
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Kettering I'll see it. The address he gave me turned

41
00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:15.919
<v Speaker 2>out to be a healthy chunk of old Spain, a

42
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:18.199
<v Speaker 2>whitewashed house that spread out for at least one hundred

43
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:21.319
<v Speaker 2>yards under a pink tiled rule. I was admitted by

44
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:23.719
<v Speaker 2>a butler with our eyes no shoulders in a small

45
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.000
<v Speaker 2>bay window, and they followed the leader over a cool

46
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:31.280
<v Speaker 2>marble ankle, beat Persian rug and inlaid Philippine mahogany. Finally,

47
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:33.240
<v Speaker 2>I was ushered into the ballroom, which was big enough

48
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:36.280
<v Speaker 2>for a highlight match. It was decked out for a wedding,

49
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.639
<v Speaker 2>from the champagne buckets and dead over ice lobsters to

50
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.479
<v Speaker 2>a pink rose covered canopy at the center, and in

51
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:43.639
<v Speaker 2>the middle of it all chained smoking while he worried

52
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:45.759
<v Speaker 2>it was my new client, Hobby kettering.

53
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:47.719
<v Speaker 4>Oh, mister Mallow, I'm afraid there is no moment to lose,

54
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:50.240
<v Speaker 4>so I'd better tell you what I know quickly. But

55
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:52.960
<v Speaker 4>let's step outside on the patio, all right, mister Kettering,

56
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.080
<v Speaker 4>Miss Mollow. Last night, Chirley and I won a full name,

57
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:02.479
<v Speaker 4>mister Kenny Doyle. Shirley Doyle. Here here's a snapshot of her.

58
00:04:02.680 --> 00:04:05.639
<v Speaker 4>She's twenty five, blonde and as you can see, mister Marlow,

59
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:06.240
<v Speaker 4>very attractive.

60
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:08.599
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so right you started? Tell me about last night.

61
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 4>Oh, yes, we were out together at a nightclub, the

62
00:04:11.159 --> 00:04:14.240
<v Speaker 4>blue Chip and Venturable. Of Yes, we'd never been there

63
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.439
<v Speaker 4>before yet I think that's where it started.

64
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:17.360
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean started?

65
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:19.879
<v Speaker 4>Well, when we were leaving the place about midnight, I

66
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:21.839
<v Speaker 4>called a cab. I was just giving the drive of

67
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:25.560
<v Speaker 4>Shirley's home address, the moor Park Court apartments, when suddenly

68
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:27.879
<v Speaker 4>she told me to get in and told the driver

69
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:28.639
<v Speaker 4>to start at once.

70
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:29.680
<v Speaker 2>You know why No.

71
00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.759
<v Speaker 4>I thought perhaps she'd seen somebody coming from the club,

72
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 4>but when I asked her about it, she said it

73
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:38.120
<v Speaker 4>was just her nerves. Since tomorrow is her wedding day.

74
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:38.839
<v Speaker 2>I see.

75
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.279
<v Speaker 4>Then today she was supposed to call, but she didn't.

76
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:45.480
<v Speaker 4>At two I called her. Oh she was gone, but

77
00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:48.199
<v Speaker 4>I talked to the day maid, she said. When she arrived,

78
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:50.360
<v Speaker 4>she brought in a note that had been left outside

79
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.519
<v Speaker 4>Shirley's law. There's one of those lever message pads in

80
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.319
<v Speaker 4>a box on her portrail. She said. It seemed to

81
00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:59.800
<v Speaker 4>upset Shirley terribly. Mister Mollow, what are we going to do?

82
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:01.839
<v Speaker 2>Look? Have you been over there to Shirley's place. No,

83
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:04.800
<v Speaker 2>I haven't got a key, Yes I do, all right,

84
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:06.519
<v Speaker 2>mister Kettering. You have the key, so let's go.

85
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.160
<v Speaker 4>But what should I do about the guests the.

86
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:22.439
<v Speaker 2>Nursing right now? We may be lucky.

87
00:05:24.519 --> 00:05:27.120
<v Speaker 4>There are only three rooms, mister Marlow. What do you

88
00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:27.759
<v Speaker 4>suggest we do?

89
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:29.959
<v Speaker 2>Well, first, let's look for that note. She may have

90
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:32.519
<v Speaker 2>left it here somewhere. You try the bedroom. I'll start

91
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:36.920
<v Speaker 2>with the waste basket full of papers, all right, yeah, sure,

92
00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:45.120
<v Speaker 2>And the clinics, say, Kettering, what does Shirley do for

93
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:45.519
<v Speaker 2>a living?

94
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:47.959
<v Speaker 4>She was a receptionist, mister Marlow, with a medical clinic

95
00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:52.120
<v Speaker 4>on run. I figure, miss Marlow. Mister Marlow, I found it,

96
00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:54.600
<v Speaker 4>the note the maid spoke of. It's the same paper,

97
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:56.319
<v Speaker 4>written with a soft pencil, like the one attached to

98
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:58.240
<v Speaker 4>that box outside. It was on her dresser.

99
00:05:58.319 --> 00:06:02.279
<v Speaker 2>Give it here, let's see it. Yeh, Shirley Doyle. Guess

100
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.920
<v Speaker 2>what I ran into last night? Francis Stragatto. It'sest to

101
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:07.519
<v Speaker 2>meet me at the corner of Ventura and WIT's at

102
00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Boulevard at ten thirty.

103
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.399
<v Speaker 4>Not signed is Francis spelled with a knee.

104
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:11.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah.

105
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:14.600
<v Speaker 4>The girl's name I've never heard Shirley mention, the Francis

106
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:17.160
<v Speaker 4>Stregatto and a public street corner wouldn't be much of

107
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:19.360
<v Speaker 4>a page to check five hours after people met, would it,

108
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:19.959
<v Speaker 4>mister Mallow?

109
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:23.160
<v Speaker 2>No, it's fun, mister What have you got?

110
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:23.560
<v Speaker 4>What is it?

111
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:24.360
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

112
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:27.480
<v Speaker 2>A page torn out of the classified directory listing in

113
00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.959
<v Speaker 2>theatrical agencies line threw by pencils made down the sea.

114
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:33.439
<v Speaker 4>The last one crossed out is Capital Artist.

115
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:35.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that makes Drake Talent Agency next.

116
00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:37.519
<v Speaker 4>Well, she never had anything to do with show business,

117
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:39.839
<v Speaker 4>mister Marlow, What do you think it means?

118
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:40.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

119
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:42.920
<v Speaker 4>Uh? You going to check with the Drake Agency?

120
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:44.959
<v Speaker 2>No, My first stop's going to be where you were

121
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:47.959
<v Speaker 2>last night, the blue Chip. I know the owner already cheft,

122
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.920
<v Speaker 2>and Eddie knows an awful lot, including things that aren't

123
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 2>always exactly his business may be able to help us

124
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:54.000
<v Speaker 2>if he wants to.

125
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:55.839
<v Speaker 4>Should I come along with tomorrow?

126
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:56.000
<v Speaker 5>No?

127
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:58.439
<v Speaker 2>No, you go home kidding. I'll try to deliver a

128
00:06:58.480 --> 00:06:59.439
<v Speaker 2>bride before nine.

129
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.519
<v Speaker 4>All right? Uh? Shall I pay you now? Now? Will

130
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:02.839
<v Speaker 4>let it go?

131
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:05.759
<v Speaker 2>Cod? I have the slightest idea what I'm going to

132
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:15.360
<v Speaker 2>run into the snapshot of Shirley Doyle my client had

133
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.720
<v Speaker 2>given me reminded me of the kid you went to

134
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:20.920
<v Speaker 2>school with. You know, she had the kind of well

135
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.759
<v Speaker 2>scrubbed look you knew was quick to smile, but I

136
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:25.160
<v Speaker 2>knew that she could be in a lot of trouble

137
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:27.439
<v Speaker 2>if she was tied in it all with a dapporady shaft.

138
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:38.680
<v Speaker 2>After Doc, the blue Chip was one of those cozy

139
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:42.639
<v Speaker 2>soft lights melting on thick drapes, kind of places made

140
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:44.879
<v Speaker 2>you forget all about the stiff prices for limp food,

141
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:48.720
<v Speaker 2>but now a little better than five in the afternoon,

142
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:53.279
<v Speaker 2>and the wide eyed, unblinking work lights had all the

143
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:58.000
<v Speaker 2>cushion come hither of a union hall. In one corner,

144
00:07:58.040 --> 00:08:00.439
<v Speaker 2>a skinny musician with a golf ball complexion was working

145
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:03.399
<v Speaker 2>over a clarinet, while in the middle of a dance

146
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:05.160
<v Speaker 2>floor was no more diameter than the hole in a

147
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:08.959
<v Speaker 2>candy lifesaver. A girl was standing on a piano stool.

148
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.279
<v Speaker 2>She was smoking and looking straight ahead at nothing. A

149
00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.120
<v Speaker 2>red shingled hair, promise of a nose and plunged neckline

150
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:19.480
<v Speaker 2>tagged her as the singer on the posters outside one

151
00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:20.759
<v Speaker 2>Miss Cocky in netherliness.

152
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:27.000
<v Speaker 6>The place is closed, soldier, you told me, never would

158
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:45.200
<v Speaker 2>What's the connection between Eddie and the headline?

159
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:48.879
<v Speaker 7>Soldier, Eddie was stabbed to death sometime this morning.

160

<v Speaker 8>little before noon, an hour or so.

182
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:52.679

<v Speaker 2>it should.

191
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.919

192
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:16.960

00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:17.240

<v Speaker 8>Of course Eddie Shaft went with a lot of girls.

00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:26.360
<v Speaker 5>Right, yeah, just got hold of that nightcasher over at

<v Speaker 4>Yeah what you say?

205
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:39.639
<v Speaker 8>has it?

206
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:42.320
<v Speaker 5>No lieutenant, but that gives us another angle to shoot

207
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:42.559
<v Speaker 5>at all.

208
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:45.120
<v Speaker 8>Right, Money passed a word to the boys. Okay, look, Monol,

209
00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:49.159
<v Speaker 8>just a passing thought. You're sure, you're just curious. You're

210
00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:50.960
<v Speaker 8>sure you don't want to play one and one makes.

211
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:51.240
<v Speaker 4>Two with me?

212
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:53.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I'm sure. Lieutenant. Well, look i'll see I'll

213
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:54.360
<v Speaker 2>give you a call out.

214
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:57.200
<v Speaker 8>Wait a minute, Yeah, look, I know all about your

215
00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:00.440
<v Speaker 8>professional ethics, you know, relations between client and private detective.

216
00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:01.240
<v Speaker 4>We won't go into that.

217
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:04.360
<v Speaker 8>We're going to go into something else very briefly, Phil,

218
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.519
<v Speaker 8>You know, the law on many points is quite.

219
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Clear, Mallow clear, like what Matthews clear, Like the.

220
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:13.559
<v Speaker 8>Status of an accessory before or after the fact in

221
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.799
<v Speaker 8>a murder case, and like aiding and a betting a criminal,

222
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:20.039
<v Speaker 8>like a lot of things. You know all about film.

223
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:22.799
<v Speaker 2>Keep me in mind, will you, Okay Matthews, Yeah, I

224
00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:33.799
<v Speaker 2>see it. Since the lieutenant hadn't mentioned Francis Draccato, I

225
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:36.039
<v Speaker 2>didn't see why I should, All of which made it

226
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:37.720
<v Speaker 2>a good time for me to cross my fingers and

227
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:39.519
<v Speaker 2>check the name which have been on deck on the

228
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.759
<v Speaker 2>list in Shirley's apartment. The Drake Talida to say the

229
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.679
<v Speaker 2>place which was on Sunset's trip was strictly coy Colonial

230
00:11:46.759 --> 00:11:50.679
<v Speaker 2>from miliature Mount vernon front two an oversized mirror polished

231
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:53.080
<v Speaker 2>brass knocker on the front door that said my tie

232
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.919
<v Speaker 2>was cooked, and I was sure that the gentleman who

233
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:59.840
<v Speaker 2>entered the door noticed it. It was impeccable in cooco

234
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:02.840
<v Speaker 2>brown gabardine white hired the throat tab shirt and also

235

<v Speaker 2>crew cut of a jet black horn rims. He took

238
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:15.039
<v Speaker 2>the glasses off and long soft fingers toyed with one

239
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:18.039
<v Speaker 2>stem while he talked. Yeah, sir, my name is Philip Marlo.

240
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:19.200
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to talk to mister Drake.

241
00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:21.919
<v Speaker 4>I'm mister Drake. What was it you wanted? Mister Marlow?

242
00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:26.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm not exactly sure you see I Hey Drake,

<v Speaker 5>Yes, she's a client of ours, But this picture isn't

00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:38.039
<v Speaker 2>important and confidential.

<v Speaker 4>This isn't a lonely high.

251
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:41.679

00:12:58.840 --> 00:13:00.000
<v Speaker 4>The towers an apartment Hoe.

261
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:04.399
<v Speaker 2>One last thing I call her after I leave, unless

262
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:06.960
<v Speaker 2>you want to if your handstitch, lapels and cops.

263
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:23.519
<v Speaker 3>In just a moment, the second act of Philip Marlowe.

264
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:26.279
<v Speaker 3>But first you might think that, after several years with

265
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:30.519
<v Speaker 3>Gracey Ellen, George Burns had seen everything, done everything, been everything.

266
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:33.759
<v Speaker 3>But this Wednesday Night you'll find George in a brand

267
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:37.440
<v Speaker 3>new role, that of a Flora Dora girl, with costume

268
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:40.799
<v Speaker 3>and complications by Gracey Ellen. The Burns and Allen Show

269
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.799
<v Speaker 3>has heard every Wednesday and most of these same CBS stations,

270
00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:49.120
<v Speaker 3>along with The Bing Crosby Show and the Groucho Marx Program. Now,

271
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:51.639
<v Speaker 3>with our star Gerald Moore, we returned to the second

272
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:54.879
<v Speaker 3>act of Philip Marlowe and Tonight's story The Deep Shadow.

273
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:07.559
<v Speaker 2>I left the glossy mister Drake and his glossy little

274
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:10.440
<v Speaker 2>agency with his mouth hanging open, and drove down a

275
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:12.559
<v Speaker 2>Hollywood boulevard tou iyevar on. From there up the hill

276
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:15.799
<v Speaker 2>to a five story air conditioned monolith with Venetian blinds

277
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:19.919
<v Speaker 2>called the Towers Chopped about as much sanctuary as the

278
00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:23.799
<v Speaker 2>Yankee Stadium. I parked heading downhill and walked in across

279
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:26.399
<v Speaker 2>the buzzing green and silver lobby Drake with pale pink

280
00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:29.440
<v Speaker 2>curtains and blaise women to the elevator and rode up

281
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.720
<v Speaker 2>to the third floor Cocky Netherland's apartment, with the fourth

282
00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:35.720
<v Speaker 2>down the Hall of the Right and quiet. But the

283
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:38.480
<v Speaker 2>door was a jar two inches, so I wrapped hard

284
00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:40.799
<v Speaker 2>enough to swing it all the way open. The answer

285
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:42.519
<v Speaker 2>sounded like a cry for help from the bottom of

286
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:44.480
<v Speaker 2>a well. When it came again, I went in, and

287
00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:46.080
<v Speaker 2>it took me a few seconds to realize that the

288
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.360
<v Speaker 2>noise was coming from my closet. And when I got

289
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:50.679
<v Speaker 2>it open, Cocky Netherlands railed out, looking like she'd been

290
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:53.600
<v Speaker 2>through a threshing machine. She was after the money, Who

291
00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:55.879
<v Speaker 2>was after what money coffee? Who some dame?

292
00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:57.720
<v Speaker 7>I didn't know her, but she who she is?

293
00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Surely miss boyer? Wait a minute, it was Chirley Doyle.

294
00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:06.120
<v Speaker 2>She'd been hiding inside near the door. She grabbed her

295
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:08.039
<v Speaker 2>handy oversized ash tray and let it fly. It us

296
00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:09.720
<v Speaker 2>can't beat it. I made it to the hall just

297
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:11.480
<v Speaker 2>as the elevated door closed, so I took the stairs

298
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:13.200
<v Speaker 2>and raced it down to the lobby. I got out

299
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:14.559
<v Speaker 2>on the street in time to see Shirley, with a

300
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:16.559
<v Speaker 2>lodge Manil envelope in one hand, pile into a sleek

301
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:18.720
<v Speaker 2>New Hudson and take off. I ran in my car

302
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:20.240
<v Speaker 2>to follow over, but that was as far as I got.

303
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.639

304
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:25.679
<v Speaker 2>hands of a Southern accent behind a pair of strictly

305
00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:26.799
<v Speaker 2>Hollywood duck glasses.

<v Speaker 6>with you right down the middle.

370
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:13.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm listening.

00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:45.039
<v Speaker 2>I know that's not what you asked, but anything else

411
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:46.440

00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:53.160
<v Speaker 4>After that, I'm putting on a call to have you

416
00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:54.559
<v Speaker 4>picked up for withholding evidence.

417
00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Do you think, kidd in this time.

418
00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:03.039
<v Speaker 7>You didn't say goodbye? That's quite a tight rope you walk.

<v Speaker 2>Mona yeah sometimes, oh good And I'm.

<v Speaker 7>for me, and it's fifty to fifty.

<v Speaker 2>No, my only chance, don't kidd no kidder, baby, you're

423
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:19.079
<v Speaker 2>a girl of two words. Double and cross. Good night, cocky.

424
00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:31.079
<v Speaker 2>And I found my Carol right at half a block

425
00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:34.279
<v Speaker 2>from Sunset Boulevard. It took twenty minutes to get from

426
00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:38.000
<v Speaker 2>there to the Sandbar District. It was downhill all the way.

427
00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:41.960
<v Speaker 2>It was a neighborhood squeezed and cramped in by a

428
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:45.640
<v Speaker 2>solid wall of massive factories and its fested as the

429
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:48.960
<v Speaker 2>bottom of a bent garbage can. At the corner of

430
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:52.640
<v Speaker 2>River Street and Third I found the house, three sagging,

431
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:55.720
<v Speaker 2>rotten stories of tenement that squatted in the eternal shadow

432
00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:59.359
<v Speaker 2>of a huge gas tank, like a sick, dirty old man.

433
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:03.160
<v Speaker 2>The proud, gleaming giant of City Hall was only seven

434
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:06.680
<v Speaker 2>blocks away, might just as well have been seventy miles.

435
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:09.440
<v Speaker 2>I went up to the door and knocked, and finally

436
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:11.799
<v Speaker 2>it inched open, just far enough for a face the

437
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:14.920
<v Speaker 2>color of dishwater to peek out. She hissed at me

438
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:16.599
<v Speaker 2>for a minute through the gap where her front teeth

439
00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:19.759
<v Speaker 2>should have been, and then told me she was Ma. Haggas.

440
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:23.759
<v Speaker 2>The manager motioned me inside. The living room looked like

441
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:25.599
<v Speaker 2>something swept out the back door of it down at

442
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:26.519
<v Speaker 2>the Hill Museum.

443
00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:31.279
<v Speaker 10>So you want to know about the Dragodas.

444
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:31.480
<v Speaker 5>Huh?

445
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they lived here, didn't they?

446
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:33.519
<v Speaker 5>Maybe?

447
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:34.240
<v Speaker 10>Maybe not.

448
00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Cops got the old man about five years ago. Possible,

449
00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:42.640
<v Speaker 2>I became of his daughter. Where's Francis Dragotto? Why are

450
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:44.200
<v Speaker 2>you being so cagey about Ma?

451
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:48.359
<v Speaker 10>Because a verd that asks questions has got an angle, Allas.

452
00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:51.119
<v Speaker 2>The one who knows the answer has got a price.

453
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:52.559
<v Speaker 10>Huh always.

495
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:54.480
<v Speaker 10>wanted to do some for them girls. But what can

496
00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:57.920
<v Speaker 10>you ever do in a hole like this for anybody?

497
00:23:58.359 --> 00:24:01.240
<v Speaker 2>You've just done it. Ma here's five more by yourself.

498
00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:04.119
<v Speaker 2>Another light bulb, throw a party with the change. It's

499
00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:13.160
<v Speaker 2>a long The eyes of one young woman in the

500
00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:15.720
<v Speaker 2>chin and mouth of another side by side, smiling into

501
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:19.240
<v Speaker 2>a camera. Had cleared up a lot of questions, but

502
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:22.160
<v Speaker 2>there was one more that needed an answer fast. I

503
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:24.400
<v Speaker 2>called Matthews from the first phone booth I came too,

504
00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:25.759
<v Speaker 2>brought him up the date and a hurry, and then

505
00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:28.599
<v Speaker 2>asked him to check normal I at his place. If

506
00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:30.279
<v Speaker 2>that was blank, to meet me at the moor Park

507
00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Court apartments, which was the only other likely place I

508
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:35.640
<v Speaker 2>could think of. I crowded traffic lights all the way out,

509
00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:37.480
<v Speaker 2>but he and Sergeant Mooney got there almost as soon

510
00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:39.720
<v Speaker 2>as I did, and I led them back to Francis

511
00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:42.559
<v Speaker 2>Stregato as well as Cottage. But once she'd taken in

512
00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:45.720
<v Speaker 2>her new name, Shirley Doyle only went to cover the

513
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:47.440
<v Speaker 2>back while Matthews and I moved in up front.

514
00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:49.960
<v Speaker 8>The Hunches are playing off tonight, Mollo.

515
00:24:50.079 --> 00:24:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, they're in here all right. Yeah, come on

516
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:52.200
<v Speaker 2>over this way.

517
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:52.759
<v Speaker 4>The window's open.

518
00:24:52.880 --> 00:24:54.920
<v Speaker 2>We could catch a little conversation first, you know, it

519
00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:57.880
<v Speaker 2>might help. Yeah, if you keep quiet, we can in Chicago.

520
00:24:59.079 --> 00:25:03.160
<v Speaker 9>Thanks for your hell, Francis, Dear. Yeah, I had to

521
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:06.240
<v Speaker 9>get this money, no more than ever. You've got it,

522
00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:07.200
<v Speaker 9>Norma for goodbye.

523
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:09.799
<v Speaker 11>Now that's stuff. Shirt you're gonna marry. I'll never know

524
00:25:09.799 --> 00:25:12.240
<v Speaker 11>where you really came from or who you really are.

525
00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:17.920
<v Speaker 11>Oh and one more thing, dear, before I go. I

526
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:24.480
<v Speaker 11>killed Eddie Scheff this morning, and he put me on

527
00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:26.799
<v Speaker 11>the plane for Chicago. I figured something was fishy, so

528
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:28.880
<v Speaker 11>I got off and I came back and I found

529
00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:31.759
<v Speaker 11>out he was selling me short for that little jerk Corky, Netherlands.

530
00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:33.119
<v Speaker 7>He had an argument.

531
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:34.759
<v Speaker 12>I killed him.

532
00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:36.920
<v Speaker 5>Then I remembered.

533
00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:38.799
<v Speaker 7>Seeing you leave the blue Chip last night.

534
00:25:39.720 --> 00:25:42.319
<v Speaker 11>I needed someone like you to get the money for me, Francis.

535
00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:45.559
<v Speaker 11>I couldn't afford to be seen here in La when

536
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:48.240
<v Speaker 11>I was supposed to be in Chicago, not with a

537
00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:49.519
<v Speaker 11>murder on my name.

538
00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:51.319
<v Speaker 9>But you're worst scene by that man who chased me

539
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:51.920
<v Speaker 9>at the hotel.

540
00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:57.920
<v Speaker 11>He's still looking for a southern droll and dark glasses.

541
00:25:58.400 --> 00:25:59.920
<v Speaker 11>You're the only one who knows the truth.

542
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:00.920
<v Speaker 5>You're with me now.

543
00:26:01.000 --> 00:26:02.680
<v Speaker 11>I'm not gonna let you invom me the murder norma

544
00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:04.319
<v Speaker 11>getting that money with one thing, but I'm not gonna

545
00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:05.799
<v Speaker 11>be mixed up in at killing. I don't care what

546
00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:08.599
<v Speaker 11>I'm gonna tell a whole fool crisis. I got a

547
00:26:08.599 --> 00:26:10.400
<v Speaker 11>good alibi for one murder, it'll work for two.

548
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Let's go.

549
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:14.119
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, nobody is.

550
00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:25.400
<v Speaker 8>Ill the girls, but police, you're not telling me. Come on, Mollo,

551
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:30.880
<v Speaker 8>I think she's dead.

552
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Lieutenant, you wouldn't stop.

553
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:36.440
<v Speaker 8>She was shooting at me. But she's a woman, all right,

554
00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:38.680
<v Speaker 8>moning and gun on her hand. She was a killer

555
00:26:38.720 --> 00:26:39.319
<v Speaker 8>and nothing more.

556
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:43.039
<v Speaker 2>I suppose she was. If you asked that kid inside,

557
00:26:43.079 --> 00:26:46.400
<v Speaker 2>she could tell you what made it that way. Oh well,

558
00:26:46.480 --> 00:26:47.680
<v Speaker 2>let's get out of here, Matthews.

559
00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:02.160
<v Speaker 4>I I can't thank you enough, mister Moller, for bringing Shirley,

560
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:04.279
<v Speaker 4>that is France Dispeck to me safely.

561
00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:06.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh believe me, mister Kettering, it was a real pleasure.

562
00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:09.640
<v Speaker 4>And you, Lieutenant Matthews, for your cooperation on withholding the

563
00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:10.839
<v Speaker 4>publicity aspects of this.

564
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:13.799
<v Speaker 8>Horrible Oh no, it's okay, mister Kerin, glad to help out.

565
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:16.599
<v Speaker 4>We're going to be married, you know. Right away. Shirley

566
00:27:16.799 --> 00:27:18.759
<v Speaker 4>told me the story and wanted to postpone the wedding,

567
00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:20.920
<v Speaker 4>but I wouldn't hear of it. Good. After all, I'm

568
00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:23.119
<v Speaker 4>not marrying her for the past. I'm marrying her for

569
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:23.680
<v Speaker 4>the future.

570
00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:28.599
<v Speaker 2>Eh, best wishes, mister ketterery. Yeah, maybe tomorrow, when Shirley's

571
00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:31.319
<v Speaker 2>calmed down, give him my congratulations, will you.

572
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:49.279
<v Speaker 4>Ill.

573
00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:51.680
<v Speaker 2>After a long cup of coffee and a lot of

574
00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:56.079
<v Speaker 2>conversation about people with Matthews, I finally got my car

575
00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:59.839
<v Speaker 2>and headed home to my apartment on Franklin Avenue, which

576
00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:03.079
<v Speaker 2>isn't the best street in the town, but it is

577
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:08.200
<v Speaker 2>lined with palm trees instead of garbage cans, and the

578
00:28:08.359 --> 00:28:13.279
<v Speaker 2>sun hits it all day long. Yeah, but that reminded

579
00:28:13.319 --> 00:28:17.079
<v Speaker 2>me again of River Street. A deep, perpetual shadow that

580
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:20.960
<v Speaker 2>that hangs over it, A dirty shadow that Ma Hagas

581
00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:24.839
<v Speaker 2>said could never be rubbed off, A shadow that spawns

582
00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:28.839
<v Speaker 2>the nomamadas of the world. I was still thinking about

583
00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:32.480
<v Speaker 2>it when I got ready forbid. I knew Ma wasn't

584
00:28:32.480 --> 00:28:35.400
<v Speaker 2>one hundred percent right. I'd seen the exception of the

585
00:28:35.480 --> 00:28:40.519
<v Speaker 2>rule that she was ninety nine percent right, just enough

586
00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:48.039
<v Speaker 2>to disturb my sleep. Oh well, one guy can't change things, Kenny.

<v Speaker 12>Detectives of Old Time Radio with Adam Graham and now

618
00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:31.039
<v Speaker 12>let's get back into the show.

619
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:40.079
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back, Well, next week's episode sounds intriguing. As for

620
00:31:40.240 --> 00:31:46.000
<v Speaker 1>this week's you definitely saw this focus, particularly at the

621
00:31:46.160 --> 00:31:51.200
<v Speaker 1>time on the top of neighborhoods and situations, the family

622
00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:56.640
<v Speaker 1>situations which often led to crime, and that theme worked

623
00:31:56.680 --> 00:31:58.599
<v Speaker 1>its way out in the episode in a way that

624
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:02.960
<v Speaker 1>brought up the point without being obnoxious about it. Overall,

625
00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:06.839
<v Speaker 1>some good twists and a fairly solid ending. It was

626
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:10.119
<v Speaker 1>weird though having Marlowe basically ask for an episode that

627
00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:13.640
<v Speaker 1>was the opposite of ladies not if no women involved

628
00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:17.839
<v Speaker 1>whatsoever or in any way related to the case. I

629
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:21.039
<v Speaker 1>think that was just him being cranky, though at any rate.

630
00:32:21.240 --> 00:32:26.559
<v Speaker 1>We do turn to some listener comments and feedback and

631
00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:36.119
<v Speaker 1>Mike Porter says that the line for the monkey's uncle

632
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:39.960
<v Speaker 1>was the best opening line, which, by the way, was

633
00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:44.039
<v Speaker 1>this time I tangled with a mad scotsman, a phony

634
00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:46.920
<v Speaker 1>English lord, in a blonde corpse in a freight house,

635
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:49.960
<v Speaker 1>all because of a butler who walked on his knuckles.

636
00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:54.240
<v Speaker 1>That is pretty good, Laurence says. Adam says at the

637
00:32:54.359 --> 00:32:56.599
<v Speaker 1>end that that was one of the worst Scottish accents,

638
00:32:56.640 --> 00:33:00.440
<v Speaker 1>even though he was Welsh. Tutor Owen was known for

639
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:04.640
<v Speaker 1>playing many a Scotsman. Well, I still didn't think that

640
00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:07.200
<v Speaker 1>was his best. Tutor Owen's done some great work, but

641
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:13.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. The Scottish accent was a bit, but

642
00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:17.559
<v Speaker 1>it was passable, I guess all right. Well, we also

643
00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:21.440
<v Speaker 1>have a review on iTunes and this one comes from

644
00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:26.240
<v Speaker 1>She's on Fire FF five Rights. I've listened to this

645
00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:29.359
<v Speaker 1>podcast for over a year now and haven't found a

646
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:33.480
<v Speaker 1>single podcast in old time radio that compares. Adam is

647
00:33:33.640 --> 00:33:36.079
<v Speaker 1>very dedicated to the show, and it's obvious with his

648
00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:39.599
<v Speaker 1>catchy enthusiasm. He is well versed in his dates and

649
00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:44.039
<v Speaker 1>is accurate most of the time. Who are the best detectives? Personally?

650
00:33:44.119 --> 00:33:47.319
<v Speaker 1>I love Sam Spade but haven't found anymore. Do you

651
00:33:47.480 --> 00:33:50.799
<v Speaker 1>happen to have any more? Like the Gold Keykeeper? My

652
00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:56.839
<v Speaker 1>copy is very scratchy in I would like to hear

653
00:33:57.640 --> 00:33:59.599
<v Speaker 1>more Spade if you have any more. Thank you for

654
00:33:59.680 --> 00:34:02.839
<v Speaker 1>your for quality and for making my listening time worth

655
00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:06.160
<v Speaker 1>every minute. Well, thanks so much. We have not yet

656
00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:10.000
<v Speaker 1>gotten into Sam Spade, but when we do, we'll definitely

657
00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:15.039
<v Speaker 1>have a focus on bringing you the best recordings that

658
00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:19.480
<v Speaker 1>we can. Of course, with Sam Spade, there's a lot

659
00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:24.159
<v Speaker 1>of gaps and a lot of episodes missing, particularly from

660
00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:31.800
<v Speaker 1>the Howard Duff era. The run by Steve Dunn is

661
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:35.519
<v Speaker 1>actually mostly complete with twenty three of twenty four episodes.

662
00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:38.440
<v Speaker 1>But the Sam Spades do tend to be a little

663
00:34:38.519 --> 00:34:42.960
<v Speaker 1>bit more iffy in quality than Marlowe and some other shows.

664
00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:45.920
<v Speaker 1>It's just the nature of the preservation and the sort

665
00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:48.719
<v Speaker 1>of recordings that are out there. All right, Well, that

666
00:34:48.840 --> 00:34:51.039
<v Speaker 1>will do it for today. Join us back here tomorrow

667
00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:54.519
<v Speaker 1>for Nick Carter, and then next Wednesday it's another episode

668
00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:57.679
