00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 4: The baseball, mister templated Lewis, I should have gone in

22
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,919
for baseball instead of becoming a cab jockey. Grown men

23
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,599
getting paid thousands of dollars for tossing a little ball

24
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:28,800
around two hours a day.

25
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 5: Can you beat it? Can you? Mister Templar, I'm asking you.

26
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,039
Speaker 3: Can you beat it?

27
00:02:32,159 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 5: Louis? I based for you can't beat it? Now?

00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 4: I'd like to live in the tal where I got

29
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,439
major league ball. The Bruce Socks here is all right,

30
00:02:38,479 --> 00:02:40,599
but it's minor league. Do you think we'll ever get

31
00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:43,680
a big league ball in this town, mister Templar, I

32
00:02:43,719 --> 00:02:45,319

Speaker 3: Mister Template.

34
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 5: You can't quiet today, mister Temple. My silence, friend, Louis

35
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,000
is purely comparative.

36
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 4: Oh well, since you're not feeling what, it's good you're

37
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,840

Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, the old man just down from the majors

Speaker 3: Leg won't even be a uniform.

50
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 4: That's what goes first in baseball. Miss the Temple of

52
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,080
mister Temple.

53
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,719
Speaker 3: You knows something funny. This rumors out about the Blue Socks.

54
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 5: What kind of room he is doing?

55
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 4: The rumors say the Socks are gonna do business lose

56
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,080
a ball game that maybe they should win.

57
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 5: Nine tense Lewis, baseball is honest. You know that.

58
00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: Maybe it's so, but it's still gotta be played by humans.

59
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,919
Speaker 5: You'd better step on it, my cinecal friend, we're.

60
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 4: Late, sure, mister Templar. Most likely nothing to the rumors anyway.

61
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,439
You know how it is driving a cab, you pick

62
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,960
up all sorts of things. Me, you don't do no

63
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,800
good to pick nothing up. I'm married.

64
00:03:56,479 --> 00:04:00,439
Speaker 3: Hey, yeah, ahead, you head that, mister Templar. I said me,

65
00:04:00,479 --> 00:04:02,520
it don't do no good to pick nothing up.

66
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 5: I heard, Louis, I heard pretty funny. Huh, Louis, take

67
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:25,120

68
00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 6: The Hello, Lefty, thanks for coming, Saint, Sit down, sit up, dang,

69
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:32,360
I hope I'm not late.

70
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 7: No, the game won't start for another ten minutes.

71
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 5: How how's the leg, Lefty?

72
00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 7: That's improving, Saint?

73
00:04:37,399 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 5: I was crime. It stays about the same, always with it.

74
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, that it is that it is.

75
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,639
Speaker 5: Blue Stock's going to win today.

76
00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 6: You know something, Saint, I don't much care. Oh, don't

77
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,959
get me wrong. When I'm in there myself, I played

78
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,279
a win, so that's the only way I know. And

79
00:04:51,439 --> 00:04:53,439
after the majors, you don't get very excited over the

80
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:54,040
blue socks.

81
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 5: I guess not now.

82
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 7: I'm just playing out the string. What comes after that?

83
00:04:57,759 --> 00:04:58,079
Speaker 5: I don't know.

84
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,759
Speaker 6: I manage this job, no chance. I was too busy

85
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,000
spending my money. Well, the smart boys were learning the

86
00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:07,480
inside of the game. But I had fun. I guess,

87
00:05:07,639 --> 00:05:12,199
did you, Nah, Saint, There's only one thing in baseball

88
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,279
I care about. There's only one thing in the world

89
00:05:14,319 --> 00:05:16,759
I care about. He's sitting across the field and the

90
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,040
dugout wearing number thirty three. My son, Mmm, I hear

91
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,920
Phil is a great picture, Lefty. Hey, he's good. He'll

92
00:05:22,959 --> 00:05:27,160
be great he's going up next year. Maybe this heah,

93
00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:29,279
I can look at him through the binoculars. M.

94
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, he looks like you, lefty.

95
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,439
Speaker 6: You really think so, Saint. I'm worried sick about him.

96
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,120
That's why I asked you. I know, that's why I'm here.

97
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,920
What are you worried about it? And I think they're

98
00:05:42,959 --> 00:05:45,680
after him, Saint. The crowd with the dirty money's after him.

99
00:05:46,319 --> 00:05:48,560
I never handle any dirty money, but I've been around

100
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,439
it and I can smell it.

101
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,879
Speaker 5: I can smell it. Now, what does Phil say? Do

102
00:05:51,959 --> 00:05:52,600
you talk to him?

103
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 7: I can't talk to him.

104
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 6: Maybe you've read in the papers about our wonderful father

105
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:58,680
and son relationship.

106
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 5: Uh, the kid hates me? How come left?

107
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 6: And he was brought up by his mother and he

108
00:06:04,439 --> 00:06:06,839
was brought up to hate me. I got out a

109
00:06:06,879 --> 00:06:08,680
horse from her when the kid was two years old.

110
00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 7: I gave her a raw deal.

111
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,399
Speaker 5: He should hate me. You say you smell dirty money?

112
00:06:14,759 --> 00:06:16,000
Do you have anything else to go on?

113
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,759
Speaker 6: Left ing rumors and a girl? No, I take that back,

114
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,279
a woman. Take another look through the glasses, Saint. She's

115
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,360
sitting in the box behind Phil, bending over to talk

116
00:06:25,439 --> 00:06:27,160
to him. She's there every day.

117
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, yes, indeed, perhaps I should have taken that baseball.

118
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:32,480
That's just it.

119
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 6: There's a woman who's got what she has go for

120
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,759
a twenty one year old kid just because he plays

121
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,160
baseball good ordinarily now, but she's got Phil hooked so

122
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,079
hard and so deep.

123
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 7: I heard all over for her. He thinks it's romance.

124
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:44,639
Speaker 5: What do you think it is?

125
00:06:45,319 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 7: I don't know, not exactly, Saint. Could you could you

126
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,160
see if you could find out?

127
00:06:50,519 --> 00:06:53,079
Speaker 5: I can try what's her name lefting.

128
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 6: Diane Courtney. She's staying at the Regent, same hotel the

129
00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:58,360
ball club puts up at. I happen to hear the

130
00:06:58,439 --> 00:07:00,759
kid making a cocktail date with her there for six

131
00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:01,360
this evening.

132
00:07:01,439 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 5: Good you see, if you can get him delayed a

133
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:04,560
few minutes.

134
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 6: I will find out what she's trying to do. SAT,

135
00:07:07,439 --> 00:07:10,040
find out who's in back of her. If they spoil

136
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,079
that kid, they won't, they won't let thanks Sat. And

137
00:07:14,199 --> 00:07:15,319
there's anything I can never do.

138
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 5: No worry about it. In fact, I'm looking forward to

139
00:07:17,879 --> 00:07:20,240
meeting Mss Courtney. I'm sure we'll have a lot in

140
00:07:20,399 --> 00:07:39,920
common baseball and well we'll find something. Do you mind

141
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:42,360
if I sit down here? The bar seems to be

142
00:07:42,519 --> 00:07:45,040
rather crowded is crowded. As matter of fact, he was

143
00:07:45,079 --> 00:07:46,279
crowded the minute you walked in.

144
00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:50,279
Speaker 8: But I am waiting for someone.

145
00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 5: He might be late.

146
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:52,319
Speaker 8: That's very true.

147
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 5: He won't be. What are we drinking? Martini?

148
00:07:55,319 --> 00:07:55,680

Speaker 8: My friend's just leaving phil and I don't care for

00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:57,120
your tongue.

172
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm sorry, Diana, I just thought that.

173
00:08:59,679 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 6: Well.

174
00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 8: Remember I don't care for the jealousy routine. You're too

175
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:04,200
young for it.

176
00:09:04,519 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, well it's been charming. But I have a

181
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,120
You got a friend. I'm afraid now I'm just dreaming, Louis.

182
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,039
I'm not absolutely convinced about the purity of the lady's intentions.

183
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,879
This is a cause for complaint, you misinterpret Come up

187
00:09:55,519 --> 00:09:57,480
cab at that particular time, come ahead of you.

188
00:09:57,759 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 3: There's times in everybody's life when the least things he

189
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,559
means a tax like.

190
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,360

191
00:10:25,799 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 8: Oh, come in, come in quickly. Someone makes you.

192
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,039
Speaker 11: Has already seen him. Frank, go ahead, and Jack and

193
00:10:31,159 --> 00:10:34,600
I'm right behind you with something that resents any quick moves.

194
00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 12: Sneak up behind people pretty quietly. Frank used to be

195
00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:43,759
in a girl guide. Shut the door down, Shut it. Oh,

196
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,919
my nosey friend here and me has business.

197
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,639
Speaker 8: I didn't tell the saint anything, Frank.

198
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:49,039
Speaker 5: I just boss.

199
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 11: Don't like nosy guys like the Saint. I don't like

200
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:53,960
nosy guys like the Saint.

201
00:10:54,039 --> 00:10:56,159
Speaker 8: Let him alone, Frank, You what good beating him up to.

202
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,279
Speaker 11: The bosses orders? Besides, my analyst tells me beat enough

203
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,080
nosy guys.

204
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:01,639
Speaker 5: I don't like.

205
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,039
Speaker 11: It's a good way of working up my aggressions.

206
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,519
Speaker 5: You're analyst. What's the matter? I can't get analyzed? What

207
00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:10,159
does your analyst say about your carrying a gun? Didn't

208
00:11:10,159 --> 00:11:12,759
he point out this is an artificial property or otherwise

209
00:11:12,879 --> 00:11:13,960
charming personality?

210
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:19,639
Speaker 11: My analyst says, I shouldn't get insulted. It remarks by neurotics.

211
00:11:19,799 --> 00:11:22,120
You think I'm a neurotic. If you ain't, no, Jackie

212
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,840
will be when I finished. Don't fall down yet, I

213
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:27,759
got four for.

214
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:40,159
Speaker 5: How do you want? Okay? Don it?

215
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,039
Speaker 11: I shouldn't have gotten mad, my analyst says, I shouldn't

216
00:11:44,120 --> 00:12:00,759
let my emotions color my business life, mister.

217
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:06,639
Speaker 5: Temple, mister Templar, Oh, oh, Louis, mister Temple, you all right?

218
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,480
Should I call a doctor? I'm all right? I guess

219
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,039
what happened, mister Templar. I knocked on the door, just

220
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,960
like you said. When nobody answered, I come in. You

221
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,240
was on the floor. You're still on the floor, and

222
00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:23,799
I think i'll stay here. Oh, got myself worked over,

223
00:12:23,919 --> 00:12:27,840
Louis by psychoanalytical muscle boy. Oh, I should give you

224
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:34,120
some beautiful lumps. Yeah, real neat, professional job. Mhm. What's

225
00:12:34,159 --> 00:12:38,639
this business caught in your chest? George? No, let's see. Huh,

226
00:12:39,639 --> 00:12:41,679
thank you, mister put it there. This is part of

227
00:12:41,759 --> 00:12:46,360
the warning. I guess what's you say? It says the fixer,

228
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,279
I fix anything. Hmm. What you'd call modest is he?

229
00:12:50,919 --> 00:12:53,799
But fixes rarely are. I think we better have a

230
00:12:53,879 --> 00:12:56,080
doctor spray you with some of cure crome. No, Louis,

231
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:17,960
I'm going to be too busy doing what sleeping? Hello shaint,

232
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,559
This is Lefty Miller. Oh, hello, Lefty, what time is it?

233
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,480
At midnight? He was sleep I went to bed early night,

234
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,159
had a rather trying evening.

235
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 6: Look I've been finding out things, things about the crowd

236
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,720
with the dirty money, and who the head of it is.

237
00:13:31,039 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 5: You mean, who the fixer is?

238
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:33,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, I found out what they're.

239
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 7: Trying to get from the kid from Phil. Can you

240
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,240
meet me here at the hotel?

241
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 5: Half an hour? Good?

242
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:39,039
Speaker 13: In the bar.

243
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 7: I'm going after some more dope.

244
00:13:40,519 --> 00:13:42,399
Speaker 5: Now you better wait until I get there. Lefty, their

245
00:13:42,519 --> 00:13:43,480
rough boys, I.

246
00:13:43,519 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 7: Know, but don't worry about me. See you in half

247
00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:46,320
an hour.

248
00:13:56,879 --> 00:13:59,159
Speaker 5: A waiter another Johnny Walker over eyes? Please?

249
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,039
Speaker 14: Yes, Look you're Simon Temple, aren't you? When they call

250
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,919
a saint? Sit down, Phil, I'm not sitting down. Got

251
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,279
some things to tell you. I've heard that you've been

252
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,600
asking questions about me, and I can guess who sent you.

253
00:14:10,039 --> 00:14:12,279
Speaker 5: It was my father. Look, isn't it kind of late

254
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,639
for you? Phil? You're supposed to pitch Tom. I don't

255
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:16,879
need anybody to run my life for me, You or

256
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:17,840
my father either.

257
00:14:18,159 --> 00:14:19,679
Speaker 14: Where is he when I was to meet him here?

258
00:14:19,759 --> 00:14:21,600
But he hasn't shown up yet? Most likely up in

259
00:14:21,679 --> 00:14:23,480
his room. All right, come on, let's go up and

260
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,440
see him. I want to straighten you both out together.

261
00:14:25,559 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 5: You know what Roomy's in? Sure? Nine o' eight right.

262
00:14:28,279 --> 00:14:32,519
How do you still a waiter? Yes, hold that drink

263
00:14:32,559 --> 00:14:47,120
for me. I'll be back for it sooner or later. Hey, Dad,

264
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,679
open up, I want to talk to you. It doesn't

265
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,720
look like your father is in track the door? What's open?

266
00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:02,879
What's but there's this dad? Look? I told you not

267
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,679
to look. He shot himself? Why why he did? Feeling

268
00:15:06,759 --> 00:15:08,600
with a gun in his hand, but he didn't pull

269
00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:11,240
the trigger. What are you trying to prove? Who did?

270
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,279
What's oil? Mister Temple? A Region Hotel, Louis in Good morning?

271
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,200
Good morning? Say I read in the papers this morning

272
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,320
about Lefty Miller.

273
00:15:32,639 --> 00:15:34,399
Speaker 3: Oh Tom, why do you think he did it?

274
00:15:34,519 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 5: Mister Temple? He didn't. The police can buy the suicide

275
00:15:37,399 --> 00:15:39,559
theory for the time being. But it was murdered, Louis.

276
00:15:40,879 --> 00:15:43,240
A friend of mine was murdered last night, and today

277
00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:45,919
things are going to be done about it. What are

278
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,720
you going to do with the region? I'm going back

279
00:15:47,759 --> 00:15:49,759
to the Young Ladies room where I had such an

280
00:15:49,799 --> 00:15:53,000
interesting time last evening. This time I better go with you.

281
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,519
Perhaps you'd better, Louis, and I'm hiring you for the

282
00:15:55,559 --> 00:15:58,720
whole afternoon. We've got a lot of ground to cover.

283
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 4: It was a great ball player, mister Templar, seen him

284
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,039
in the world, serious one said, Yankee Stadium.

285
00:16:05,679 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 5: Hard to believe he's dead. A man can be killed

286
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,799
in a lot of ways, Louis. He can be killed faster,

287
00:16:10,919 --> 00:16:14,000
or he can be killed through what happens to his son.

288
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,279
I'm glad at least that didn't happen to the lefty.

289
00:16:31,919 --> 00:16:34,320
You sure nobody isn't he called on the house phone

290
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,720
before we came up. I think this key will fit.

291
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,279
How did you get a key? I remember to make

292
00:16:40,279 --> 00:16:43,200
an impression of the lock after that beating last evening.

293
00:16:43,879 --> 00:16:50,120
There we're in nobody here, all right? Shut the door, Louis,

294
00:16:50,159 --> 00:16:56,759
and lock it. Okay, what are you looking for, mister Templar?

295
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,320
The truth, Louis is my friend Philip Marlo would say

296
00:17:00,399 --> 00:17:04,039
crime detection is an adventure in search of the hidden truth.

297
00:17:04,279 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 3: I'm going to find the hidden truth looking out that

298
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:07,480
window and the fire escape.

299
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 5: Perhaps lewis right, it's a Templar. Somebody's at the door, Louis.

300
00:17:12,559 --> 00:17:14,839
I'll handle this if I need help, you'll need help.

301
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,359
We're in trouble. Good morning, miss Courtney.

302
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 8: What are you doing?

303
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 5: I'm in Diane, It's Courtney, my good friend. Louis, Oh

304
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,200
charmed you want? I should leave, mister Temple now, we'll

305
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,200
both be leaving in a minute, Louis. Just as soon

306
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,000
as we asked Miss Courtney some questions. She probably won't

307
00:17:32,039 --> 00:17:35,240
answer my questions, like who killed Lefty Miller?

308
00:17:35,319 --> 00:17:37,799
Speaker 8: I don't know. I thought it was suicide.

309
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 5: Who's the fixer, Diane?

310
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:45,279
Speaker 8: I can't tell you why. I'm afraid, Saint, if you

311
00:17:45,319 --> 00:17:46,880
believe me, if you'd help me, Why.

312
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,799
Speaker 5: Are you working on Phil Miller to throw a ball game?

313
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 8: Why I can't tell you that.

314
00:17:52,039 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 3: Frightened.

315
00:17:52,599 --> 00:17:54,759
Speaker 5: I don't care how frightened you are. Man's been killed.

316
00:17:54,799 --> 00:17:58,599
Why I can't? I'm afraid, lady's afraid. Come on, Louis,

317
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,480
let's go back to the ballpark and see if we

318
00:18:00,599 --> 00:18:15,640
can throw a few curves. Mister Bush, as manager of

319
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,680
the Blues tax, you must have known Lefty Miller fairly well,

320
00:18:20,039 --> 00:18:20,599
not well.

321
00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,079
Speaker 15: No, I manage the team, but you don't manage an

322
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,759
old pro like Lefty. You just tell him what time

323
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,839
the game is and he does the red. Yes, from

324
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,599
what I saw of him, No, he was a good guy.

325
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,680
I'm sorry I was still taking it. That's hard to

326
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:38,640
tell about kids.

327
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 5: He didn't.

328
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 15: Lefty weren't close. Maybe you knew that, Yes, knew that,

329
00:18:43,319 --> 00:18:45,599
but it's hard to tell just how he was taking it.

330
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,079
And I says, turned the pitch, and I told him,

331
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,720
of course i'd start somebody else, but no, he's going

332
00:18:50,759 --> 00:18:53,200
to pitch tonight. Insisted on it, said he had it,

333
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,720
so you'll pitch.

334
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 5: You think he should. He's the best we.

335
00:18:58,279 --> 00:19:01,039
Speaker 15: Got, and I might get a phone call tomorrow telling

336
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,559
me he's sold to the major leagues. Anytime he wants

337
00:19:04,599 --> 00:19:05,160
to pitch.

338
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 5: You'll pitch, mister Bush. Have you heard any rumors about

339
00:19:09,039 --> 00:19:11,759
a fix on your ball? Lin or, mister Templar. There's

340
00:19:11,799 --> 00:19:15,599
always rumors around any kind of sport. I've never been

341
00:19:15,599 --> 00:19:17,480
in a phony ball game, and as far as I know,

342
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,799
I've never seen one, so I don't listen to rumor. Thanks,

343
00:19:21,839 --> 00:19:25,440
mister Bush, and good luck tonight to you and Phil

344
00:19:25,519 --> 00:19:40,839
both well to Eno, mister Templar. I want to go

345
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,920
see a bookmaker, Louis Samus Spender.

346
00:19:43,079 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 4: You know, I'm sure I know they're just Booky and

347
00:19:45,319 --> 00:19:47,960
Tom place down on State Street, only a block or

348
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:48,720
two down the street.

349
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,039
Speaker 5: That's something good in Hollywood. Pot, No, Louise, you want

350
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,000
something good. Thanks, but no, this is different. I did

351
00:19:56,039 --> 00:19:57,839
a favorite for Sam once he might be able to

352
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,519
return it. Sham Rey tins anything? What money?

353
00:20:01,279 --> 00:20:03,839
Speaker 3: One time? I had a three horse polly going against him.

354
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 5: Hoist to come in? The sight is leading into the stoy.

355
00:20:06,799 --> 00:20:07,440
Isn't this the play?

356
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 13: Oh?

357
00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:13,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're sure? Wait for me here, Lloyd won't be long, sure,

358
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:19,759
mister Temple, Hello, Samn house.

00:20:19,559 --> 00:20:21,759
Speaker 16: Business, Simon Temple, are glad to see you.

360
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,039
Speaker 5: What can I do for your information? Which you're going?

361
00:20:24,079 --> 00:20:26,880
No further than Simon Temple. We in business to say,

363
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 3: Nah?

364
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,039
Speaker 16: In the East's big business. It's all bet on the

365
00:20:31,079 --> 00:20:32,880
major leagues out peanuts.

366
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 5: Have you handled or heard of any bets lately on

367
00:20:35,079 --> 00:20:37,559
the Blue Socks or against him? Against him?

368
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:37,839
Speaker 8: Yeah?

369
00:20:38,079 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 5: On yesterday? Funny thing too. Get to tell me about it?

370
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 16: And sure a big creep comes in with two hundred

371
00:20:44,039 --> 00:20:46,039
dollars to bet against the Socks in the game tonight

372
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,240
and don't like the smell of it.

373
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 5: Nah, I tell him. Nah.

374
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,319
Speaker 16: Then the creep tells me what's wrong with me is

375
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,839
that I had any emotionally insecured childhood? Honest to go on?

376
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,960
Then he does a funny thing. He give me an

377
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,279
extra two hundred pay you up if you win the bet.

378
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,319
Imagine that, And if the Socks win, I get to

379
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:06,680
keep the home four hundred.

380
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 5: The guy's nuts. I can't lose. The best he can

381
00:21:10,079 --> 00:21:12,559
do is break even. Where's the payoff? Sam? If the

382
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:13,599
Socks lose.

383
00:21:14,039 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 7: In room eight and eight the region tonight after the game,

384
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:18,599

385
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 8: Sing?

386
00:21:19,079 --> 00:21:22,799
Speaker 5: I'm beginning to bestor Miller was right. Dirty money has

387
00:21:22,839 --> 00:21:24,759
a smell to it, and I'm beginning to smell it.

388
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:29,279
Thanks Sam, anytime sink, see you soon, maybe tonight tonight.

389
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:34,079
I hope so sink nothing personal, Sam, but I hope not.

00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 3: What is it.

00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:50,319
Speaker 5: Good evening, Diane?

392
00:21:50,599 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 11: Well, it's all friend, Jack, Harry, Franky?

393
00:21:54,519 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 5: What is this room?

394
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,759
Speaker 8: Mister Templer? You're a home away from home.

395
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,519
Speaker 5: Let me throw the bum out, Frankie, your aggressions is.

Speaker 5: Too busy to go to the ball game tonight? Did

00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,039
you know beforehand how it would come out? Let me

400
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,200
trot a bum out.

401
00:22:12,599 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 10: I hate schizophrenics, but he looks like such an interesting one. Frankie,

402
00:22:16,519 --> 00:22:17,839
and he's handsome too.

403
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 5: Right, Dane, you're not as frightened as you wear. Well,

404
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,039
it's all right. I won't tell the boy.

405
00:22:22,319 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 11: Jack, you better get out of here. It ain't healthy.

406
00:22:25,839 --> 00:22:28,160
What's your trouble. You got a compulsion or something.

407
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 5: No, it's just that when I start out on something,

408
00:22:30,559 --> 00:22:32,640
I like to be in on the payoff, and tonight's

409
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,880
the payoff. The game should be over by now, and

410
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,799
the people will be arriving. I'll be the host of

411
00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:40,240
our little party. You'll be hosts for a party of

412
00:22:40,319 --> 00:22:43,680
one in a wood box. Jack, Diane shle liked you,

413
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:45,920
Dian it's a kid.

414
00:22:46,039 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 7: Don't let him in.

415
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 8: Frankie, come in, Phil, Hello.

416
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 5: Sweetie, Hello Diane. Frankie. Yeah, Hellom, it's Templar. I love him.

417
00:22:54,839 --> 00:22:58,839
Speaker 8: Ball game over, honey, Yeah, it's over. How you feel dirty?

418
00:22:59,000 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 5: Oh?

419
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,039
Speaker 10: I don't feel bad about it, sweety. In a week

420
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,599
or two, you'll forget all about it.

421
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,319
Speaker 5: Sit down, Phil, I've taken over the party. Let's all

422
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,519
find out what games we've been playing. Diana, I'm getting

423
00:23:08,519 --> 00:23:13,039
an awful frustration listening to him. Let him talk, Thank you, Phil, Yes,

424
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,839
mister Templar, What line did Diane? Use to get you

425
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,599
to throw the game tonight. The fixer had something on her.

426
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,559
She was afraid of him. Something would happened to her

427
00:23:20,599 --> 00:23:24,359
if you didn't do as he wanted. And it doesn't matter,

428
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,640
you know the real reasons. Go on tell him Jack,

429
00:23:27,759 --> 00:23:30,880
I will, Frankie. It was a trap for you, Phil.

430
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,480
This outfit is big and smart. They're willing to make

431
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,200
an investment and wait a while to cash in. It's

432
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,480
too tough to get next to a major league player.

433
00:23:39,519 --> 00:23:41,720
You'll be up there this year or next, and when

434
00:23:41,759 --> 00:23:43,559
you get there, you'll do what the fixer tells you,

435
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,000
because there's a club over your head. Yeah, yeah, a

436
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,400
certain payoff. You took in a hotel room at the

437
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,200
region for throwing a game with a Blue Sox. You

438
00:23:52,319 --> 00:23:56,200
understand that. I understand your father found out about it.

439
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,039
He had the room right over this one nine o eight,

440
00:23:59,079 --> 00:24:01,799
and he listened on the I escape. He was seen

441
00:24:01,839 --> 00:24:04,359
from in here and he was killed. Then they took

442
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,279
him back up the fire escape to his room and

443
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,599
rigged the suicide, but they forgot to wash all the

444
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,559
blood off the iron outside this window.

445
00:24:11,759 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 11: You're gonna listen to him, kid, He's an erotic, aane

446
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:15,440
aren't you gonna say something.

447
00:24:15,599 --> 00:24:17,759
Speaker 8: I didn't have anything to do with it, honey. It

448
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,359
was the fixer who did it.

449
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,279
Speaker 5: Yeah. I believed in the fixer too at first, Diane,

450
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,640
until I came to your room the first time down

451
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,480
the bar. You said you didn't know me up here.

452
00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:29,240
You told Frankie I was the saint. He made other

453
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,880
lips tonight. So I know who the fixer is.

454
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:32,319
Speaker 3: Who is he?

455
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,559
Speaker 5: You mean? Who is she? Fixer is a very beautiful woman, Diane.

456
00:24:36,559 --> 00:24:39,920
The fixer is you? What is this a filibuster? A son?

457
00:24:40,079 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 8: Let's assume you're right, mister Templer. Where does it get you?

458
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:44,720
Where does a change thing?

459
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 5: I'm turning you over to the police, and Frankie can

460
00:24:47,039 --> 00:24:48,680
highly shoot both Phil and myself.

461
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,039
Speaker 10: You won't have to, as you. Yeah, you underestimate me, Saint.

462
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,400
We should have had more time alone together. Phil will

463
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,680
do whatever I tell him in spite of what's happened,

464
00:24:58,519 --> 00:24:59,440
won't you, sweetie?

465
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,039
Speaker 5: Will? Diane?

466
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,599
Speaker 8: I made sure of Phil, Saint. I made sure of

467
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:05,200
him first.

468
00:25:06,079 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 10: You'll crawl on his hands and knees if I tell

469
00:25:08,319 --> 00:25:10,599
him to, because if he doesn't, I might stop being

470
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,079
nice to him, and he couldn't.

471
00:25:12,839 --> 00:25:16,039
Speaker 5: Stand that you should have thought of that, Saint.

472
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,839
Speaker 10: He got a metal block or something finished with mister Temple. Frank,

473
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,920
we've got to finish packing this gun.

474
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,599
Speaker 5: Says, Get over to the windows, Saint.

475
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,319
Speaker 11: This time there won't be no blood and the fire

476
00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:29,039
escape just a lot on the sidewalk.

477
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 5: Pretty messy that way, Frankie, your subconscious will hate you.

478
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,839
I won't look down. Oh you're going over to the window.

479
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,839
Speaker 11: Quiet, filter it out and stand back, kid, I ain't

480
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,680
playing with the stinging.

481
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:45,079
Speaker 7: Give me that.

482
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,839
Speaker 5: Thank you. I'll bring your wrist you think my joannalist

483
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:56,279
would say. And this makes this even look so? How

484
00:25:56,519 --> 00:26:01,480
how bad? Is it? Not bad? My arm but not

485
00:26:01,599 --> 00:26:07,079
my pitching on? Good? Why Diane stand still? Better? Go

486
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,119
for the police, Phil, Can you make it? Yeah? I

487
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,920
can make it? And Phil thanks? But she did make

488
00:26:13,039 --> 00:26:16,880
up for the game. We'll figure out that later. About Dad, Saint,

489
00:26:17,279 --> 00:26:19,440
he did all he could to protect you, Phil. Yeah,

490
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,640
he did like me then more than anything else. He

491
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,000
told me you better leave. I want you out of here.

492
00:26:26,079 --> 00:26:28,920
Before that book he shows up to pay off mister Templar,

493
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:30,839
He won't be showing up.

494
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 11: I didn't lose the game tonight, tell me more, Phil,

495
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,039
I pitched a three hit shut out.

496
00:26:37,039 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 5: I figured it was the least I could do for Lefty.

497
00:26:52,759 --> 00:26:55,160
The kid's gonna be all right, mister Temple, there will

498
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,440
be all right, definitely.

499
00:26:57,079 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 3: You know I can't blame.

500
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 5: Him for getting tangled up with that Diane.

501
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,759
Speaker 3: Now there is real age in the woodstump.

502
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 5: She will be quite as attractive when she gets out Lowie.

503
00:27:05,759 --> 00:27:07,720
Twenty years does something to a woman.

504
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,599
Speaker 4: Should have seen what had done to my wife if

505
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,480
she was no prize to begin with. What do you

506
00:27:12,519 --> 00:27:16,039
think was wrong with Diane, mister Templan emotionally insecure.

507
00:27:15,599 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 5: Childhood you've been talking to Frankie. I think Diane felt

508
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:24,640
an urge to corrupt Loie, to feel power, revenge, perhaps

509
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,799
for something hidden in her past. It might have been

510
00:27:26,839 --> 00:27:31,599
her childhood, might have been society. So now society exacts

511
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:36,559
further told twenty years, I feel like a drink. Louis

512
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,519
Well till, mister Templar back to the Regent. I've got

513
00:27:39,559 --> 00:27:41,200
a Scott's waiting for me at the bar.

514
00:27:54,759 --> 00:27:57,599
Speaker 2: You have been listening to another transcribed adventure of the

515
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,720
Saint the robin Hood of modern crime, and all here

516
00:28:00,839 --> 00:28:02,440
is our star bencent Price.

517
00:28:02,319 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 5: Ladies and gentlemen, the most priceless gift which a community

518
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:10,079
can give its children is a fine education. Here in America,

519
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,119
your parents have been able to take that education pretty well,

520
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,000
for granted, but that won't be true of the future

521
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,799
unless we plan now to cope with the educational problems

522
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,599
of the future. There are going to be lots of them.

523
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,720
We know that for sure. Because of the increased birth

524
00:28:25,799 --> 00:28:29,119
rate during and since the war, an extra seven million

525
00:28:29,279 --> 00:28:31,839
children are going to be enrolling in our public schools,

526
00:28:32,559 --> 00:28:35,759
and the way things stand, our schools just aren't ready

527
00:28:35,799 --> 00:28:39,559
to handle them. The problem varies from district to district,

528
00:28:40,079 --> 00:28:43,799
but it's always a problem of shortages. In some localities

529
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,279
there aren't enough class rooms and in others not enough

530
00:28:46,359 --> 00:28:50,119
books and equipment, and overall we're suffering from a shortage

531
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,480
of teachers. In order to meet the challenge and make

532
00:28:53,559 --> 00:28:56,480
sure that our youngsters will get the education they deserve,

533
00:28:57,119 --> 00:28:59,640
we'll have to lay down an educational blueprint for the

534
00:28:59,759 --> 00:29:03,680
years ahead. Our local school boards are doing that right now,

535
00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:07,160
but they can't do it alone. They need everyone's efforts

536
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,119
to build a stronger educational system. If you wish to help,

537
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,079
simply contact your local school board and for further an

538
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:19,319
information right to the National Citizens Commission for the Public Schools,

539
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,640
New York, New York. That's the National Citizens Commission for

540
00:29:23,759 --> 00:29:28,400
the Public Schools, New York, New York. Good citizens everywhere

541
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,160
are helping, but they know that better schools make better communities.

542
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,599
Missus Vincent Price, inviting you to join us again next

543
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,759
week at this same time for another exciting adventure of

544
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,160
the Saint. Good Night.

545
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,839
Speaker 2: The night's script of The Saint was written by Dick Powell.

546
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,519
Our cast to Night included Gloria Blondelle, Jack Moyles, Halmarch

547
00:29:58,759 --> 00:30:01,440
m Max, Bob Clark, and Marry Doctor. The music was

548
00:30:01,519 --> 00:30:04,680
composed and conducted by Von Dexter. The Saint, based on

549
00:30:04,839 --> 00:30:08,079
characters created by Leslie Charteris, is a James L. Safier

550
00:30:08,119 --> 00:30:11,400
production and is directed by Helen n. Vincent Price is

551
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,079
soon to be seen co starring in RKO's production of

552
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,599
His Kind of Woman. All you Saint fans will be

553
00:30:16,599 --> 00:30:18,400
glad to know that the Saint comic books are on

554
00:30:18,519 --> 00:30:24,119
sale at all newsstands. You're announcer Val Brown, Three Times

555
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,799
Mean Good Times on NBC. There's Fine Entertainment on Theeter

556
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,839
Gild on the Air, returning Next Sunday on NBC. This weekend,

557
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,920
four hundred Americans have a holiday.

558
00:30:33,559 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 5: Date with death. Stay off the list. Be careful.

559
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,319
Speaker 2: Next Sam Spade, then here Katherine Grayson on NBC.

560
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,759
Speaker 1: Welcome Back. I have to admit that I was a

561
00:30:55,880 --> 00:31:00,240
little bit confused, as I tended to think of any

562
00:31:00,279 --> 00:31:03,279
of the Saint's adventures taking place in New York and

563
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:08,680
certainly with Louis, based on his accent. However, the Brooklyn

564
00:31:09,039 --> 00:31:12,920
Cabbet had kind of become a national institution, at least

565
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,680
over radio. I also struggled a bit with the idea

566
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,519
of the Saint being in a minor league city, but

567
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:24,440
then again, this was nineteen fifty, so everywhere west of

568
00:31:24,559 --> 00:31:26,920
Saint Louis was a minor league city.

569
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 5: I have to say that the.

570
00:31:29,319 --> 00:31:35,559
Speaker 1: Character Lefty is kind of fascinating. He's a very flawed

571
00:31:35,759 --> 00:31:40,079
man who owns his mistakes, of which there were many.

572
00:31:40,599 --> 00:31:45,000
He's alienated from his son, a party responsible for an

573
00:31:45,079 --> 00:31:49,559
acrimonious divorce, failed to prepare for his post baseball career,

574
00:31:50,119 --> 00:31:53,559
failed to save any money, and didn't even really have

575
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:58,279
fun in the course of this very long and successful

576
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,079
major league career. He was and he's not even trying

577
00:32:02,119 --> 00:32:05,240
to work his way into his son's good graces. He's

578
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,359
trying to just save him from ruining his life and

579
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,880
his career, and you can definitely appreciate why Simon is

580
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:19,839
sympathetic and even carries on this mission after Lefty was murdered.

581
00:32:20,279 --> 00:32:24,960
I think that the plot by night In is clever.

582
00:32:25,359 --> 00:32:30,480
It's nice break from the typical old time radio plot

583
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,640
of you know, we're gonna make a bunch of money

584
00:32:33,799 --> 00:32:37,359
fixing the game or fight or whatever. It's playing a

585
00:32:37,519 --> 00:32:44,039
long game and taking advantage of the loop her atmosphere

586
00:32:44,119 --> 00:32:48,799
in the minor leagues who acquire long term stakes in

587
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,039
a future big leg star and the bet with the

588
00:32:52,119 --> 00:32:57,319
bookie was an interesting puzzle. Do think that Diane was

589
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:02,119
probably overplaying her villains part right in front of Phil.

590
00:33:02,279 --> 00:33:04,279
I mean, at some point Phil should have said, you know,

591
00:33:04,519 --> 00:33:08,680
I am just I am standing right here at anyway, though,

592
00:33:08,839 --> 00:33:12,640
a good episode. Now we turn to some listener comments

593
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:17,400
and feedback, and we start with this from Peter, who

594
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:22,960
writes in regarding the episode reflection on murder. I couldn't

595
00:33:23,039 --> 00:33:26,279
help but notice the sound of instrumental music during some

596
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,759
of the dialogue for this episode. It almost sounded like

597
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,920
the episode was tape recorded over a previous recording of

598
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,319
an orchestra. Was this sort of thing common during the

599
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,599
old time radio era? Now, it was common during the

600
00:33:40,799 --> 00:33:46,440
era during which old time radio was being circulated in

601
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:50,839
the early years. During those early years of old time

602
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:58,000
radio collecting, there was a lot of copying of episodes

603
00:33:58,079 --> 00:34:03,839
onto tape and even reusing and re recording over old tapes,

604
00:34:04,279 --> 00:34:08,000
and so you might end up with sound artifacts, and

605
00:34:08,639 --> 00:34:14,559
those recordings, in some cases, with various episodes of various series,

606
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,400
might be the best that we have available. That's why

607
00:34:18,599 --> 00:34:22,079
for a lot of old time radio collectors and researchers,

608
00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:28,039
the aim of old time radio collecting and preservation isn't

609
00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:32,039
just about finding new recordings, but it's also about finding

610
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:37,440
upgraded recordings, better copies. But alas in some cases they

611
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,320
are just not available. Then we have a comment from

612
00:34:41,519 --> 00:34:45,760
Sasoff on reflection on murder. Okay, when I die, I'll

613
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,519
make sure to have eleven dollars and sixty three cents

614
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,280
in my pants pocket. I wish you well. I tell

615
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:58,199
you to tell me how that goes, but for obvious reasons,

616
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,400
you would not be able to. But I appreciate the comment. Anyway,

617
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,480
thanks so much, says all. Well, now it's time to

618

627
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:41,880
the Big Story.

628
00:35:42,119 --> 00:35:43,760
Speaker 5: Where over to missus Jone.

629
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 17: I went over there once, the youngster Miami said it

630
00:35:46,519 --> 00:35:49,000
only happened at night. And I've seen her walking out

631
00:35:49,039 --> 00:35:51,239
in the white nightgown with the moon shining down hun

632
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,559
her walking around in the back of the house, outside

633
00:35:53,599 --> 00:35:54,800
the ship just behind.

634
00:35:54,559 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 13: The house, five times in a circle, walking around and

635
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,079
then just stockstill. And she wasn't talking to no god

636
00:36:02,079 --> 00:36:05,280
in the sky. She was talking to the devil underfoot.

637
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 3: Or what do you think she did?

638
00:36:06,039 --> 00:36:06,639
Speaker 7: Missus Stones.

639
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 17: I've known them both, miss Herkimer and her mother going

640
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,400
on to forty years. She killed her Mah.

641
00:36:11,519 --> 00:36:13,559
Speaker 8: That's what she done, killed her mother.

642
00:36:13,639 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 17: As God is my witness.

643
00:36:15,119 --> 00:36:17,639
