Speaker 2: Broadways Mybeat from Times Square to Columbus Circle. The gaudiest,

16
00:01:42,879 --> 00:01:46,319
the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world.

17
00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: Broadways My Beat with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover.

18
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:16,479
Speaker 2: The carnival scream rises high on Broadway, carried high on

19
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,560
plumes of neon light, and its shape is of many things.

20
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,960
The metallic anguish of a trumpet shriek, the feudal beating

21
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:27,120
against closed doors, the laughter bargained, forebought, paid for Under

22
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,520
the winking girl on the spectacular Broadway scream rises, shatters

23
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,120
into fragments of glitter, prowls through the city, and finally

24
00:02:35,159 --> 00:02:46,639
touches you wherever you are. It touches you for me.

25
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,199
It was a phone call, a girl dying, It said

26
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,000
from a jackknife in a diamond dance palace on Broadway.

27
00:02:52,319 --> 00:02:54,479
Come to it, Danny, Maybe you can grab yourself a

28
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,400
free dance. The welcome committee is out, the pale girls

29
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,879
with the scarlet streak to cross them up, and the restless,

30
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:04,240
scarlet tipped hands playing in the spinning lights, reaching out

31
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,719
for you. Someone called said the girl was hurt. Where

32
00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:09,199
is she me?

33
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,199
Speaker 4: I called sure.

34
00:03:11,199 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 5: You don't want to dance one of those girls?

35
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 2: First?

36
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 5: It was square, you know, square policeman. Come on, I'll

37
00:03:18,039 --> 00:03:21,520
take you too. Georgie's beneath type. Don't like to spoil

38
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,080
the fun. That's why she picked the lonesome lounge to die.

39
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,879
You gotta picked up where you're gonna die. You should,

40
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:37,719

00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,599
Speaker 2: Okay if she watches me.

Speaker 4: Die, isn't it?

00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: Who didn't Georgia?

48
00:03:56,439 --> 00:04:01,639
Speaker 4: A dancer, keen dancer? You should have been here for

49
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,439
his mambo Dancy. It was a show.

50
00:04:05,639 --> 00:04:07,599
Speaker 2: Who he stabs at, Georgia? That makes it all right

51
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:11,560
to tell me who was it? He bought five dollars

52
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:12,319
worth of tickets.

53
00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 4: A man like that, you feel, you know? Don't ask

54
00:04:18,319 --> 00:04:18,720
his name.

55
00:04:20,639 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: It's spoils with this knife.

56
00:04:24,879 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, wild dancing. I'm keeping it for a souvenir. Make

57
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,480
sure it's with me in the coffin, not Danny.

58
00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:35,959
Speaker 5: Promise.

59
00:04:36,959 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: You're a long way from home, Georgia. What brought you here?

60
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,839
I like it here? Come here a lot.

61
00:04:45,519 --> 00:04:46,279
Speaker 4: It's peaceful.

62
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 2: The man blows the bugle, so peaceful. A crowd, Georgia.

63
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:54,519
Now the boy's in the crowd, stabby because you're not

64
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,120
liked anymore? How can you.

65
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 5: Talk when he's.

66
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,319
Speaker 4: Listen to Danny?

67
00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:02,439
Speaker 2: Listen.

68
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,319
Speaker 5: A girl feels young again with music like that.

69
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: After that, the place got clattered up. People started to

70
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,600
come into the lownes, policemen with notebooks, a woman in

71
00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:28,519
a tweet suit of a press card in her hat,

72
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,000
then a couple of men with a stretcher. The only

73
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,120
thing the doctor picked up on his stethoscope was at

74
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,480
trump but blowing what is called the blues, because there

75
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,000
was no heartbeat from Georgia Gray because she was dead.

76
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:55,279
Find out why. Going out to Mott Street, where it

77
00:05:55,319 --> 00:05:58,279
intersects an alley whose name no one remembers, climb four

78
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,920
flights of stairs and wonder briefly why the quality of

79
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,199
sound and light in a tenement was like nothing else

80
00:06:04,199 --> 00:06:07,560
in the world. Walk at Carter, where mice and men

81
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,680
live together in perfect tolerance, and stop at the door.

82
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:20,639
Speaker 6: Standing in line a little bit more so i'll.

83
00:06:20,519 --> 00:06:24,079
Speaker 2: Know who's Stanny Clover. Benny, you coming to checker. I'm okay,

84
00:06:24,079 --> 00:06:25,000
I'm okay. Co Man.

85
00:06:25,399 --> 00:06:30,319
Speaker 6: Sure, sure, yeah, I'm okay. Danny, I'm okay. Except for

86
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,519
the stomach. It hurts when I present.

87
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 2: You've been behaving yourself, Benny.

88
00:06:34,639 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 6: Since I got out the hospital. Sure, sure, I'm beating now.

89
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,639
He taught me to make things out of beads when

90
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,160
I was resting in a ward pot Beckles and ladies' sensories.

91
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: You know why I came here? Don't you are in

92
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,680

Speaker 6: I'm a beating now.

95
00:06:51,399 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: Who killed Georgia Gray? I'm a beat? How long since

96
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,600

113
00:07:55,519 --> 00:07:58,079
How you closed our eyes? I wish it'd have been me.

114
00:07:58,199 --> 00:07:59,759
Speaker 2: Maybe you got there ahead of me, Niki. Maybe you

115
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,160
want dancing? Saw Georgia in a place. You never thought

116
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,639
she'd be killed her because she was getting away from you.

117
00:08:05,279 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 8: Oh, oh, your dire, Danny, awful dire. No one gets

118
00:08:09,639 --> 00:08:13,399
away from me, not even the dead. Right into the den.

119
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:15,480
I want you to meet my mother.

120
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:18,839
Speaker 2: She'll be hurt. I don't show all my friends, all right, Nikki,

121
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,439
I wouldn't want her to be hurt. You will wish

122
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:28,519
yours had been like her. Just wait, mother, Loo, could

123
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:29,639

124
00:08:30,079 --> 00:08:34,879
Speaker 9: Sit down, Danny, have a mint. NICKI hasn't made up special.

125
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:39,919
Speaker 2: For me, thanks well, specially nothing too good for my mother.

126
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,799
Speaker 9: It's always been like that with my son. Up to now.

127
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 2: NICKI hasn't been good.

128
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 9: He let his guyl die in a cheap place, dancing

129
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,840
with another man for pay for dimes. That cheapens his name.

130
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 2: You could have stopped, Nikki. How could I have known?

131
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 5: Mother?

132
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 9: I told you, don't snap at me, Nikki boy, I'll

133
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,360
slap your mouth, wash it out with dout.

134
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 8: Georgia'll like that hole, Danny. I never understood why she

135
00:09:04,799 --> 00:09:07,120
tried to explain it to me about the music, about dancing,

136
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,240
crazy for dancing.

137
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: Who understands these things?

138
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 4: And a girl once she had everything everything.

139
00:09:12,799 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 9: You gave her everything you worked hard for.

140
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 8: You're getting your share her mother.

141
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 9: The funeral to Nikki. Will you buy me one like

142
00:09:20,399 --> 00:09:23,519
the one you're buying for Georgia. Let me show you

143
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,240
the invoice of Danny. I never knew Diane came so

144
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,000
high inflation.

145
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:29,639
Speaker 5: Huh.

146
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,159
Speaker 8: Maybe it'll wipe out the taste of what happened to

147
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,519
her where it.

148
00:09:33,639 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 4: Happened to her.

149
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 9: It's just a maybe, son, don't build a monument on it.

150
00:09:40,279 --> 00:09:42,200
I want to know why they killed her, Danny. You

151
00:09:42,279 --> 00:09:47,360
know they think my son is finished, done, used up.

152
00:09:48,159 --> 00:09:50,440
They killed the girl that frightened my nikky boy. And

153
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,240
you know what my boy's frightened.

154
00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:55,879
Speaker 2: Who does that to your friends? Your boys?

155
00:09:56,279 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 9: You know, when you see their bodies on a slab,

156
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,759
there'll be in all the papers you saved, the clippings

157
00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:02,559
for me, Henniggy.

158
00:10:02,919 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 2: Oh isn't she a dream?

159
00:10:05,159 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 9: Denny?

160
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: I told you, wonderful girl, my mother. When I got

161
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,200
back to headquarters, there was a file on my desk.

162
00:10:14,639 --> 00:10:17,039
The neatly centered sticker on its front cover was typed

163
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:22,279
Georgia Gray, Open it, read it, Digest it. Georgia Gray,

164
00:10:22,639 --> 00:10:25,440
aged between twenty five and twenty nine, computed from data

165
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,919
gathered from arrests. Hometown Salina, Kansas, followed a soldier at

166
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,279
New York Court of Embarkation in nineteen forty three, but

167
00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:35,799
never caught up with him, so she stayed counter girl

168
00:10:35,799 --> 00:10:38,879
in a five and ten, then model for Ladies Garments,

169
00:10:38,919 --> 00:10:41,519
then nightclub hostess, and two years ago in night court

170
00:10:41,919 --> 00:10:43,960
after losing a race with a squad car. She said

171
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,639
she'd retired because I don't have to work anymore. She said,

172
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:50,919
no better reason. She asked. Name linked with NICKI Gannon

173
00:10:50,919 --> 00:10:55,120
from here on in address Park Avenue expenses shared by

174
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,320
fran Holland, who said, now She'll have to look around.

175
00:10:57,519 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 5: The first thing I'm going to do is get another

176
00:10:59,039 --> 00:10:59,440
room mate.

177
00:11:00,159 --> 00:11:02,279
Speaker 2: Well, with Georgia, she had.

178
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,519
Speaker 5: Her ideas I had mine. You know what I mean?

179
00:11:04,919 --> 00:11:10,840
Tell me, well, this man, Georgia was wide a pretty girl.

180
00:11:11,039 --> 00:11:12,399
Speaker 2: I'd say she was beautiful.

181
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess she was very beautiful. Ah, but she

182
00:11:17,799 --> 00:11:21,120
was ruining it. Ran around, danced, but she didn't enjoy herself.

183
00:11:21,159 --> 00:11:24,519
I know she didn't. She only enjoyed herself relaxing.

184
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 2: Here with me something I haven't made up my mind.

185
00:11:26,879 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 5: Well, you better make up your mind about it, Danny. Sure,

186
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,000
she had all I had dough and she lived.

187
00:11:32,799 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: With a dance hall hostess with me. You know why

188
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,480
because she needed someone like me to run home to

189
00:11:39,519 --> 00:11:41,759
her right.

190
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,159
Speaker 5: So she could have soft hands rub in the back

191
00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:46,320
of her neck, to bring her cold tomatoes when she needed.

192
00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:47,519
Speaker 2: It off on friend.

193
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,639
Speaker 5: Look, Danny, she was dance happy.

194
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:50,759
Speaker 9: That's why she hung around the place.

195
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 5: I worked a little bit of music and a guy

196
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,200
in a high waistband with two strong feet could make

197
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:56,720
her smile like she was happy?

198
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: Did nick again in mind that she stepped out on him?

199
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,240
Why did make he care for a front for his business?

200
00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:03,600
He didn't care about a dancing who killed her friend?

201
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:05,399
A man?

202
00:12:06,039 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 4: What else?

203
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 2: But a man? What? Man? Who?

204
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:11,200
Speaker 5: You know what you want to do, Danny?

205
00:12:11,879 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 2: You know Tommy chander Nicki's hood.

206
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,919
Speaker 5: The padded shoulder that stands near Nicky with his hand

207
00:12:16,919 --> 00:12:18,559
in his pocket, asked Tommy.

208
00:12:19,039 --> 00:12:21,759
Speaker 2: See how he reacts when you ask him. You know

209
00:12:21,759 --> 00:12:22,600
where Tommy is?

210
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,919
Speaker 5: I know we will be in the morning eight o'clock.

211
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:31,159
Speaker 2: He throws him bread, stale bread. But what do ducks know.

212
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,159
Speaker 4: That one over there likes Pampa nickel? Danny, Yeah, even

213
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,720
a piece. You're making impression.

214
00:12:51,879 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 2: We've got none of these advantages at city jail, Tommy, you.

215
00:12:55,039 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 4: Don't arrest me, kidding a ducks will miss me? You

216
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,200
want to piece upon a nickel to him? Sure you do.

217
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,759
H You see how Horn looked at me, Denny said,

218
00:13:10,799 --> 00:13:14,720
like he already knows about the arrest. What are you

219
00:13:14,799 --> 00:13:18,559
taking me down for? Look, think of something feeding the

220
00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:22,399
pintails in central part. I won't be able to hold

221
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,159
up the head for the shame of Let's go, kid,

222
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:27,879
that's your squad.

223
00:13:27,639 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 2: Calviny, you got a blush when I say suspicion of murder.

224
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 4: That's been done to me too.

225
00:13:32,159 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 2: You didn't come up for a long time, George. You

226
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,200
got me case for that. Georgia was murdered. Maybe Nicki

227
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,399
Gannon goes too. The whole crowd will miss him. I'll

228
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,200
tell you something else. Whoever stabbed George ain't gonna be

229
00:13:47,279 --> 00:13:49,840
around a long Any crowd will see to that. Huh.

230
00:13:49,919 --> 00:13:50,679
I didn't say that.

231
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,279
Speaker 4: I just set a prediction.

232
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,519
Speaker 2: It's who takes over if Nicky is rubbed, Tommy and

233
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,519
you take over?

234
00:13:58,639 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 4: Why a back groom poker game from matchsticks? What are

235
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,120
you talking about? Look, Baby, arrest me if you want,

236
00:14:06,159 --> 00:14:12,200
but don't ask me stupid questions. It makes harm nervous. Hey, herm,

237
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:19,960
hey bright herm.

238
00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:22,279
Speaker 2: Looked sad when I took Tommy away from him. All

239
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,840
the ducks looked sad for a minute. Then they found

240
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,879
a new love or to stay a loaf of bread.

241
00:14:27,879 --> 00:14:31,600
Swam away screaming for it. Tommy looked back over his shoulder,

242
00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:34,200
stopped to call him a name, got shoved into the

243
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:39,600
squad car, but on the way down a code call.

244
00:14:39,639 --> 00:14:42,200
A woman's voice in the police radio. Man dead, she

245
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,960
announced to the quiet number. Then she said it playing

246
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,360
in an alley, fourth Street, off sixth. Get their car

247
00:14:48,399 --> 00:14:54,080
sixty two. We got there. Mind if I tag along?

248
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 4: Danny man dead, I recognize him a number. You got

249
00:14:57,799 --> 00:14:58,600
a shaddy thing.

250
00:14:58,639 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 2: Hold your gun on, Hi muggaun. He was a tall

251
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,000
Break it for.

252
00:15:01,039 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 4: Him, pleasure.

253
00:15:01,799 --> 00:15:02,919
Speaker 10: Danny.

254
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:16,159
Speaker 2: Let me through, Let me through. They can't SKay anymore.

255
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:23,039
Kenny nicky, not anymore. He was propped up against the wall,

256
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,159
his head thrown back, his mouth open, like he was

257
00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:29,000
trying to tell someone about it. The furtive dog scrubbing

258
00:15:29,039 --> 00:15:32,559
for food in the trash, not listening the small crowd

259
00:15:32,559 --> 00:15:35,360
he'd assembled because the blood sighed across his shirt front,

260
00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:39,240
but not listening, watching an alley wind gathered soot at

261
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:45,960
his feet, watching me lean over him, watching Nicki Gannon Dead,

262
00:15:46,399 --> 00:15:47,159
Nicki Gannon.

263
00:16:03,639 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 3: You are listening to Broadways My Beat, written by Morton

264
00:16:07,159 --> 00:16:10,840
Fine and David Friedkin and starrying Larry Thor as Detective

265
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,440
Danny Clover. You'll find Jack Benny in the desert this

266
00:16:14,519 --> 00:16:17,120
Sunday night on CBS. Jack and his gang are making

267
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,879
a safari to entertain the boys at an airbase in Nevada.

268
00:16:20,279 --> 00:16:22,360
And for more laughs, there will be another session with

269
00:16:22,399 --> 00:16:25,120
Eve Arden as the gay, romantic, fun loving school teacher.

270
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,360
Are Miss Brooks on most of these same CDs stations.

271
00:16:38,679 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: Broadway is wide enough for everybody, generals and open touring cars,

272
00:16:42,759 --> 00:16:46,639
blondes and taxis and sailors against lamp posts. It's the

273
00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:48,919
place to come to for one reason or another, to

274
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,600
be a tourist, or get stared at by the tourists,

275
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,519
to make a pitch by a bargain, get cheated, insulted,

276
00:16:55,639 --> 00:16:58,080
or have your picture taken, and end the day with

277
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,440
a memory depending upon what you wanted, what you've got,

278
00:17:02,159 --> 00:17:04,799
what you gave for it. In part of the days

279
00:17:04,799 --> 00:17:07,599
memento of Broadway will be the news item. Nicki Gannon

280
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,839
shot down in an alley hudlum slain, a new outbreak

281
00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:14,559
of mob violence. Police seek clues in killing, especially me

282
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,680
and another man. The sergeant Gino tour Taglia, who had

283
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,960
once passed the civil service examination.

284
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,519
Speaker 11: And the medical examiner, doctor Sinsky, reveals that death was

285
00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:26,319
caused by hemorrhage and the plural parentheses lungs closed parentheses

286
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,680
and that is why Nicki Gannon was done in.

287
00:17:28,839 --> 00:17:31,799
Speaker 2: Thanks Gino, Well you're quite welcome. I'm sure anything else?

288
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:32,799
Speaker 4: May I?

289
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 2: Yes, you may thank you?

290
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 5: You know.

291
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 11: Danny is shooting up and now he brings to man

292
00:17:38,319 --> 00:17:40,599

Speaker 4: What are you gonna do? Danny?

340
00:19:42,839 --> 00:19:46,279
Speaker 10: You got tricks with batteries and portable radios to make

00:19:46,319 --> 00:19:49,680

342
00:19:51,039 --> 00:19:52,039
Speaker 2: Should be right up, Danny.

Speaker 2: Huh. Killing a lot of your line, isn't it cozy?

347
00:20:03,079 --> 00:20:05,519
I always figured you as more of the person snatcha type,

348
00:20:05,559 --> 00:20:08,400
the jack roll kid, the friend the drunk finds in

349
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:08,880
an alley.

350
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 10: I got a right to come up in the worling' eh.

351
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,599
This gives me class a reputation with things a fella

352
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,000
need so he can admire himself in the night.

353
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 2: Sure, I understand it. Man has to get ahead.

354
00:20:19,319 --> 00:20:20,279
Speaker 6: He sent me, Lieutenant.

355
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,319
Speaker 2: You want this, Yeah, it's come in. Please turn on

356
00:20:24,319 --> 00:20:26,599
the radio. Go and turn it on to dance music.

357
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,759
That'll be all right. Dance with the lady Cozy, go on,

358
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:35,440
dance with her.

359
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 10: He yeah, you're crazy, Danny. I get myself up to you,

360
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,759
and you go crazy. There are people like me, honest.

361
00:20:44,839 --> 00:20:46,599
Speaker 2: Dance with her like you did with Georgia. Show me

362
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,480
how it was at Georgia.

363
00:20:49,079 --> 00:20:51,759
Speaker 10: You know I can't dance, Danny. You know I wouldn't

364
00:20:51,799 --> 00:20:54,240
go there, damn to dance with her. They laugh in

365
00:20:54,319 --> 00:20:55,480
my face when they see me coming.

366
00:20:55,519 --> 00:21:00,079
Speaker 2: You're never near Georgia Gray. Are you not even close enough.

367
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 10: To They promised me they'd get me off, Danny. They said, confess,

368
00:21:04,039 --> 00:21:06,319
and then when I got off, they'd give me the

369
00:21:06,319 --> 00:21:06,720
big dog.

370
00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:07,799
Speaker 2: I promised you all that.

371
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 10: Oh, friends, Danny, I got good friends. They promised me things. Hey,

372
00:21:13,319 --> 00:21:16,960
they call me up and promised me things. You got

373
00:21:17,079 --> 00:21:19,039
to lock me up, Danny, so I don't disappoint him.

374
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,039
You got to lock me up.

375
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 2: They could come true for him and lock him up.

376
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,720
Now the afternoon was two hours old, and the gray

377
00:21:29,759 --> 00:21:33,000
had turned into a wetness, a drizzle that hung scurling

378
00:21:33,039 --> 00:21:36,200
in the air before it touched the pavement. The citizens

379
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,839
didn't mind getting wet. It was a sight to see.

380
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,440
The funeral procession wasn't very long. I like the good

381
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,880
old days when the gangster's death took up a mile

382
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,119
of Broadway. Not like the good old days at all.

383
00:21:49,079 --> 00:21:52,119
None of the mourners walked. They all rolled, and the

384
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,839
wreaths were wrapped in cellophane, which not only protected the

385
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,279
snapdragons from the rain, but it was more sanitary. I

386
00:21:58,319 --> 00:22:01,079
went along because I'd known nicki Gain for a long time.

387
00:22:01,799 --> 00:22:03,319
The rain let up a little, and they lowered him

388
00:22:03,319 --> 00:22:06,839
into his grave, and none of the mourners stayed, not

389
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,880
even his mother. And I wanted to talk to his mother,

390
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,119
Missus Gannam.

391
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,519
Speaker 9: Hello, Danny, you want to ride back to town.

392
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 2: I wanted to tell you how sorry you talk like that?

393
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 9: You don't ride with me? Come on, My son was

394
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,640
a hoot. Why should you be sorry for him?

395
00:22:28,799 --> 00:22:30,799
Speaker 2: We've talked together, I've had a beer together.

396
00:22:30,839 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 9: That's the reason you cry, not me.

397
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 2: Whatever you want, he was your son.

398
00:22:36,559 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 9: My son got scared men get scared, and men don't

399
00:22:39,759 --> 00:22:40,359
live anymore.

400
00:22:40,599 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 2: That's all he's dying does to him. Missus Gannham, Look

401
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:43,680
what I've.

402
00:22:43,519 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 9: Got, Danny. A thug's funeral on a rainy day.

403
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:47,599
Speaker 2: He was your son.

404
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,839
Speaker 9: He's dead, Danny, I'm not. I'll think about him. Some

405
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,960
things will come up in my mind from time to time,

406
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:59,160
but I've forgotten about right now. No smile, and I'll

407
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,400
think nice about Nicky.

408
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 2: Then you know who killed him? I know who I said.

409
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,519
I know the same person that killed Georgia.

410
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 9: If I let you out of the car, now you

411
00:23:08,839 --> 00:23:09,799
get witch, you're going.

412
00:23:09,799 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 2: To do anything about the person that killed Nikki.

413
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 9: I'm sure of it, Danny, sure of what. He's going

414
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,039
to rain all day? Funny, ain't it the paper.

415
00:23:32,039 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 4: Harry Danny Clover?

416
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 2: Yeah? I am bother you, mister m but it bothers

417
00:23:38,519 --> 00:23:40,680
me more. Your unhappiness. Let's have a good cry over

418
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,000
at my office. You in the Holloway suits me.

419
00:23:43,039 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 13: He used to Dafty Hallway spend my life and I'm

420
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:46,880
waiting to do things for unhappy people.

421
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,759
Speaker 2: Spreader of good cheer, that's your business at police headquarters, mister.

422
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,839
What name do you spread it under? Forbes consulate law,

423
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,160
my kind Forbes counselor of law. Someone came to you

424
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,119
said I was unhappy you took the case almost precisely

425
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,440
how it happened. I told you. What makes me sad.

426
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 13: Kindly people they grieve when a policeman throws away a

427
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:07,720
confessed killer.

428
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 2: Cozy Barrett.

429
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 13: It seems to them almost ungrateful. However, they respect your

430
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,160
analytical prowess.

431
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,319
Speaker 2: You've got something I can hang on my wall that

432
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:20,200
says that something much better. Silver cup maybe with an inscription.

433
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,279
Speaker 13: Better an envelope Manila with money he could take you

434
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,680
hours to count. No silver cupper better the bonus, the killer,

435
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,880
the real, true killer of George and Nikki, that could

436
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:32,880
bring you so much happiness to a man like you.

437
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,880
Where do I find Itwhere else? Envelope and Killer, the

438
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:41,559
Diamond Dan's Palace where Georgia danced upstairs one o'clock. That's

439
00:24:41,559 --> 00:24:44,079
this morning. Be there and a smile and grow on

440
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,960
your face. You have brought me true happiness, counselor.

441
00:24:47,039 --> 00:24:52,599
Speaker 2: Thank you. Then he walked away. At the end of

442
00:24:52,599 --> 00:24:54,440
the hall, he stopped and looked back over his shoulder,

443
00:24:54,599 --> 00:24:57,240
grinned at me. Then he turned up his collar and

444
00:24:57,279 --> 00:24:59,880
walked out into the street. This was at seven p

445
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,400
Then I walked down Broadway and dinner and a double

446
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,480
feature on forty second Street. Then it was time to go.

447
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,279
The Diamond Dance Hall was blaring against its time of closing.

448
00:25:19,519 --> 00:25:21,880
I walked through it, pushed my way across the floor

449
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,960
into a doorway. No one stopped me. Then up a

450
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,640
flight of stairs and into a loft littered with old

451
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,599
telephone books, cigarette butts, a neatly stacked bundle of your

452
00:25:31,599 --> 00:25:35,599
old newspapers. The only light the light from the spectaculars

453
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,359
down the street, spelling out the evening's pleasure forty girls,

454
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,759
forty no cover charge. Up front with William, Joe continued

455
00:25:42,799 --> 00:25:47,880
his performance Chinese food, fried rice and dancing. And I waited.

456
00:25:53,119 --> 00:26:00,400
I didn't wait long. You here, Denny, Come on in, Tommy.

457
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 4: Thanks, I brought yourself here. He's all your steady.

458
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:07,839
Speaker 2: Who is he?

459
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,519
Speaker 4: The killer that got promised to you? Dead?

460
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:18,079
Speaker 2: You bring the envelope? Tommy? You bring it?

461
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 4: Sure?

462
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 2: Sure?

463
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 4: I brought yeah, caught it that you Leisure fifteen thousand.

464
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,839
Speaker 2: I don't know, Tommy, a dead killer? How am I

465
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,319
going to explain a dead killer?

466
00:26:31,839 --> 00:26:32,799
Speaker 4: I thought of that too.

467
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,759
Speaker 2: What did you come up with, Danny.

468
00:26:35,759 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 4: I found a guy in skid row wasn't doing anybody

469
00:26:39,279 --> 00:26:43,000
any good, so I figured he could do us. So

470
00:26:43,039 --> 00:26:46,640
you shot him with a police positive just like you carry.

471
00:26:47,599 --> 00:26:50,880
Here's the gun. You track this killer down. He tried

472
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:52,000
to escape. You shot him.

473
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,839
Speaker 2: Makes you a hero, that's right, And how many heroes

474
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,160
have fifteen thousand dollars?

475
00:26:57,279 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 4: We're going to get along.

476
00:26:58,319 --> 00:27:02,640
Speaker 2: Fine. You've taken over for I deserve, don't I yeah, yeah,

477
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,519
you do. Killing Georgia nick again, I'm sure you deserve it.

478
00:27:06,519 --> 00:27:07,440
It's a courage.

479
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 4: You don't know how much had me sweating there for

480
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,440
a while. And she didn't die right away. Only Georgia

481
00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:20,240
was a girl with character. Live and let live die

482
00:27:20,559 --> 00:27:26,839
and let live great girl. Huh. I called you from

483
00:27:26,839 --> 00:27:27,160

484
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,279
Speaker 2: Time, Denny. Wait a minute, Tommy, get.

485
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 4: Used to it, Denny, I said, I'd call you.

486
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,559
Speaker 2: Don't go away. You're under arrest for murder.

487
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 4: You're practicing being a cop. Don't be a cop around me.

488
00:27:44,319 --> 00:27:47,559
Speaker 2: You forgot something, Tommy, I can't be anything else.

489
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 4: Let's go because you're pointing the police positive. Yet troubles

490
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:05,960
they step away all over. Don't let me fare.

491
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,599
Speaker 2: I got your coat no, let me fall.

492
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:11,599
Speaker 6: I don't want to dare that one?

493
00:28:12,039 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 8: Mommy, Yeah, Denny Wall.

494
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 2: His fingers clawed against the sheer stone, body twisting, face torture,

495
00:28:23,599 --> 00:28:26,319
pleading for a return to life. His body hung there

496
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,400
hell one out of breach. Then the fabric that held

497
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,279
his life together gave way, and the noise of the

498
00:28:33,319 --> 00:28:42,480
street came up to meet him, killed her scream. When

499
00:28:42,519 --> 00:28:46,480
I got outside and walked through the gathering crowd, I

500
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:51,079
remembered something in my hand, Tommy Chandler's torn coat.

501
00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:00,359
Speaker 12: M h.

502
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 2: It's the gathering place of all the sleepless nights, this

503
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,759
Broadway and all the unwept tears, the place to come

504
00:29:20,799 --> 00:29:24,319
to erase what's happened. Start all over, make a memory,

505
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:30,960
then try to forget it if you can. It's Broadway,

506
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:36,319
the gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world.

507
00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:40,200
Broadway My Beat.

508
00:29:55,519 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 3: Broadway Is My Beat stars Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover,

516
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,640
Jan Murray gets on that Coast to coast phone and

517
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,000
gives away one thousand dollars in a crack if you

518
00:30:33,079 --> 00:30:36,799
can identify the Phantom Boys, be listening for Sing It Again,

519
00:30:36,839 --> 00:30:40,000
which follows immediately on most of these same CDs stations.

520
00:30:42,079 --> 00:30:45,240
Joe Walters speaking, This is CDs where you laugh at

521
00:30:45,319 --> 00:31:09,680
Jack Benny every Sunday night, the Columbia Broadcasting System.

522
00:31:00,799 --> 00:31:05,359
Speaker 1: Welcome back. Well, we've had a lot of weird behavior

523
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,160
by people on broadways my beat, but cursing out docks

524
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,079
for their lack of loyalty when you get arrested and

525
00:31:12,119 --> 00:31:14,599
they move on with their lives is kind of a

526
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,119
whole nother level. On a brighter note, I have to

527
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,559
appreciate Tartaglia having brought in his interest in detective fiction

528
00:31:22,759 --> 00:31:26,519
beyond Mike shrap. All right, Well, we've got some listener

529
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,960
comments and feedback now, and we go over to YouTube

530
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:36,599
where w Baker the third comments, I've listened to every

531
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,920
episode and I really enjoy Broadways my beat, but I

532
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:44,559
don't recall a single crime taking place on Broadway, let

533
00:31:44,599 --> 00:31:48,759
alone between Columbus Circle and Times Square. I also note

534
00:31:48,799 --> 00:31:52,119
the distance from Columbus Circle to Times Square, which would

535
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:56,119
be from fifty ninth Street to forty fifth Street, is

536
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,920
only about three quarters of a mile. Perhaps they mean

537
00:31:59,039 --> 00:32:02,240
all the way to forty second Street, as that would

538
00:32:02,319 --> 00:32:06,079
encompass the entire theater district. So no, I don't understand

539
00:32:06,119 --> 00:32:09,119
what is so gritty and dangerous about the theater district.

540
00:32:09,119 --> 00:32:11,359
The way it is described in the intro and outro,

541
00:32:11,519 --> 00:32:14,519
they make it sound like this is the entire stretch

542
00:32:14,559 --> 00:32:18,839
of Broadway. Broadway is actually about thirteen miles long in

543
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,359
just Manhattan. Indeed, the entire length of Manhattan and Broadway

544
00:32:23,559 --> 00:32:27,160
is considered the longest as well as the oldest street

545
00:32:27,359 --> 00:32:31,119
on the island. Thanks so much. I appreciate the comment.

546
00:32:31,519 --> 00:32:35,440
And while I can't find or speak to what specific

547
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:40,000
rates might have been, you can see some potential for

548
00:32:40,119 --> 00:32:44,920
higher crime rates given that you have a lot of

549
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:50,279
people out late at night, where presumably there would be

550
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,599
a greater risk of various sorts of criminal activity. I

551
00:32:55,599 --> 00:33:01,200
would also say that they're not often specific about location,

552
00:33:01,559 --> 00:33:05,880
although today's was very specific that the dime a dance

553
00:33:06,079 --> 00:33:10,599
place where the crime happened was on Broadway. In addition,

554
00:33:10,759 --> 00:33:16,440
one of the early cases was set at a theater,

555
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:22,079
so it's implied to be those sort of locations that

556
00:33:22,279 --> 00:33:25,720
are cross Broadway. And it can be helpful not to

557
00:33:25,799 --> 00:33:29,359
view it as like the whole spectrum of the human

558
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:34,200
experience that comes within that area, from the very wealthy

559
00:33:34,279 --> 00:33:37,880
to the very poor. That stretch had it all. And

560
00:33:38,119 --> 00:33:43,720
even if Danny's overall precinct area would be beyond that,

561
00:33:44,319 --> 00:33:47,519
it's trying to capture that field more than perhaps a

562
00:33:47,599 --> 00:33:51,440
literal distance. But appreciate the comment. And then we also

563
00:33:51,559 --> 00:33:56,400
turn over to Blueberry where we have a comment on

564

Now you follows call the Cramela.

581
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, on the way out? Was the old man the

582
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,199
only one who lived in the house here?

583
00:34:56,519 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 12: Yeah, that's what the neighbor told us. I should like

584
00:34:58,800 --> 00:34:59,960
to see what the crome lab cruise.

585
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,679
Speaker 2: I want to think of it. Well, what's the big

586
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:02,719
question behind us?

587
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 12: Well, I know it's none of my business, sergeant, you

588
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,000
fellas or the detectives.

589
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,280
Speaker 2: I just couldn't help. But notice though, what's that? Well?

590
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:14,760
Speaker 12: Here over here this rifle wired to the back of

591
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,679
the chair. I take a side along the barrel, of

592
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:25,440
the rifle. See what you think right through the sight huh, pointed.

593
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 2: Right above the arms.

594
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 8: You're over there.

595
00:35:26,519 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 2: It's in the straight line with the body. Uh, how

596
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,679
much fist? The old man pulled a string tied to

597
00:35:30,679 --> 00:35:32,880
his index finger and it set off the trigger took

598
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,360
the slug through the chest. Yeah, that's what I figured.

599
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,400
Now here, take a look at the wall directly behind

600
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:38,960
the old man.

601
00:35:39,559 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 12: Yeah, the slug went clean through the body, we know that,

602
00:35:43,159 --> 00:35:45,400
and through the chest above the heart, then out through

603
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:46,960
the shoulder blade.

604
00:35:47,039 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 2: I see what you mean.

605
00:35:48,559 --> 00:35:50,559
Speaker 12: Oh, here not Take a look at this wall here

606
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:52,800
and a mark on it. Yeah.

607
00:35:53,639 --> 00:35:55,119
Speaker 2: One of the things you're up. The old man was

608
00:35:55,159 --> 00:35:56,119
shot in that position.

609
00:35:56,199 --> 00:35:59,079
Speaker 12: The slug had to come this way, you know, pass

610
00:35:59,119 --> 00:36:01,239
through his body right about this height.

611
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 5: Here.

612
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,119
Speaker 13: We got to find a bullet hole in this wall

613
00:36:05,159 --> 00:36:07,000
right right around here.

614
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 2: In ought to be not a trace of a slug here.

615
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 1: I hope you'll be with us then in the meantime.
