Speaker 5: You, Templar.

52
00:04:03,759 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 7: This is a homicide bureau. I am up to the

53
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,159
cleft of my rugged chin and work. I got maniacs

54
00:04:09,199 --> 00:04:12,599
confessing to murders that never happened. I got murderers caught

55
00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:14,159
in the act. Who say who?

56
00:04:14,199 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 4: Me?

57
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 8: And no?

58
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:15,759
Speaker 4: No?

59
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 9: I got Temblar. Yes, Lieutenant, Templar, you got something to say?

60
00:04:21,319 --> 00:04:25,600
Say it anyone for Badminton Tamplar. Okay, Lieutenant, I just

61
00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:26,560
want some information.

62
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 7: Read the newspaper's, Templar. They whip up the crime waves.

63
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:29,519
Speaker 8: I don't.

64
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,079
Speaker 4: Well, then, what do journalism's juvenile delinquents have to say

65
00:04:33,079 --> 00:04:35,319
about events in the city of Littleton today?

66
00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 7: You don't know.

67
00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 4: I couldn't even get well. Stay happy, go back to bed, Lieutenant.

68
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,639
I'll write a letter to the times.

69
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 7: Okay, Templar, have it your way. You ever hear of

70
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,839
a band leader named Terry Richard?

71
00:04:45,959 --> 00:04:47,879
Speaker 4: Of course, you mean the one they call the real

72
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:48,680
gone guy.

73
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,439
Speaker 7: I hope to hold your half noe, Templar. He's real gone,

74
00:04:51,519 --> 00:04:53,720
all right, so gone he's dead. He was strangled.

75
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 4: Oh well, thank you, lieutenant, for your first exclusive.

76
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 7: Look, if you're a figure in a bud in Templar,

77
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,759
I wouldn't now you know you remember Lieutenant Ruggles, old.

78
00:05:02,959 --> 00:05:03,959
Speaker 8: Old meat head.

79
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 7: Well he is now chief of police at Littleton. You'd

80
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:07,639
better stay out of his way.

81
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,439
Speaker 4: I wouldn't dream of getting in his way, or would I?

82
00:05:10,439 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 7: I am not kidding, Templar. Terry Richards was a real

83
00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:15,439
big name. Ruggles wants this one for himself. You get

84
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:16,879
in his way, you'll have you so deep in the

85
00:05:16,879 --> 00:05:18,040
pokey they'll be feeding.

86
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 5: You with a pea shooter.

87
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,959
Speaker 7: Rep Hey, on second thought, is that.

88
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:28,639
Speaker 4: Bad, Lieutenant? Yeah, Tampler, did someone spike your bubblegum this morning? Yes? Camp, goodbye, pal,

89
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:45,800
don't sneeze into the breeze. I'd like to go backstage, please,

90
00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:46,560
mister Dorman.

91
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 10: It's possible to get there if your cult will development

92
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,160
is at a certain level.

93
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 4: Well, I'm fond of Montreal.

94
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 10: I collect Americana. I am fond of portraits of those

95
00:05:56,959 --> 00:05:59,959
men who will become our president. I am especially cheered

96
00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:03,079
by portraits of Lincoln are done, of course, on fine paper,

97
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,759
in black, bordered and shaded in hues and shades of green,

98
00:06:07,199 --> 00:06:09,120
which one finds so cool and comforting.

99
00:06:09,319 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 4: Your taste is admirable. It happens that I here you

100
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,480
are a perfect specimen a pass fraind Thank you so much. Oh,

101
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,480
mister Templar, you know me. You expected me. Miss Gray

102
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,920
hoped for you as she described you. Still it cost

103
00:06:22,959 --> 00:06:24,120
me five dollars.

104
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 10: Nothing ventured, nothing gained, and miss Gray is in her

105
00:06:26,519 --> 00:06:29,800
dressing room. First corridor to your wreck and first daughter.

106
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,319
Speaker 4: To the left, or thank you? I say, tell me something.

107
00:06:32,879 --> 00:06:36,480
Is this the same Shirley Gray who sings pallid so wonderfully?

108
00:06:36,519 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 10: The same? But she sings them no more? Merlow rouley elbaudy.

109
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,639
Speaker 4: You swallowed something bop.

110
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,639
Speaker 10: That's what the great Terry Richards played.

111
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 4: Oh, I gather you were not her fan of the

112
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,240
late mister Richards.

113
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 10: The man who knocked him off was a hero.

114
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 4: I see.

115
00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:55,639
Speaker 10: Miss Gray is the only nice person in the band.

116
00:06:55,959 --> 00:06:57,879
Take care of her, will you? You think she needs

117
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,839
taking care of? There's a killer around, mister Templar. Of

118
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,639
course she'll be just after another musician. It's all right.

119
00:07:05,399 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 4: Bettilla's gonna hate you in the morning.

120
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,439
Speaker 10: He wouldn't dare A first corridor to your right, first

121
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,040
daughter that left, mister Templar.

122
00:07:27,279 --> 00:07:27,839
Speaker 4: Miss Gray.

123
00:07:29,079 --> 00:07:30,079
Speaker 11: Oh you frightened me.

124
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,839
Speaker 4: You're Simon Templar, Secretary Shirley Gray Fanclub Cell three, Group two,

125
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:36,639
currently underground. It took chores.

126
00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 11: Oh, mister Templar, I'm so glad.

127
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:39,839
Speaker 4: Who is Sammy?

128
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 11: He's what do you mean?

129
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 4: Well, all the way down here, I've been asking myself

130
00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:48,399
why would Shirley Gray call me? And after calling, why

131
00:07:48,439 --> 00:07:51,120
would she hang up just because a man named Sammy

132
00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:54,519
entered the room? You see, I'm just the old curious one.

133
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 11: Well, I want you to do one thing for me.

134
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,519
Find out who killed Terry Richards.

135
00:07:58,680 --> 00:07:59,759
Speaker 4: That's a job for the police.

136
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:02,319
Speaker 11: Is well, they might get the wrong person.

137
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,839
Speaker 4: Sammy, for instance, they.

138
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 11: Might not find out in time. Somebody else might get killed.

139
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,959
Speaker 4: The doorman seems to have had the same thought. What

140
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:10,720
brings it on?

141
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,839
Speaker 6: Well, no one knows why Terry was killed. Nobody liked him,

142
00:08:13,879 --> 00:08:16,560
but nobody hated him enough to kill him. This is

143
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,839
almost the work of a maniac. There was no reason

144
00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:19,199
for it.

145
00:08:19,319 --> 00:08:22,279
Speaker 4: You mean no one was ambitious, jealous, frustrated.

146
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:23,399
Speaker 11: We don't talk like that.

147
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 4: You're hiding something from Simon.

148
00:08:25,519 --> 00:08:29,319
Speaker 6: Please don't joke. I found Terry's body, I called the

149
00:08:29,319 --> 00:08:31,199
police and they said he must have been strangled with

150
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,039
a stout thin cord. But well, well they're wrong about

151
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,639
it and about everything else. He was strangled with it.

152
00:08:38,639 --> 00:08:43,799
Speaker 11: Watch this cop, Sammy, This is Simon Templar, the Saint

153
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:45,960
Simon alone.

154
00:08:46,039 --> 00:08:48,399
Speaker 8: Shirley, get out, Templar.

155
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 4: I'm happy to know you, too, friendly one.

156
00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:53,159
Speaker 8: Look, Templar. We're being held in this offbeat berg and

157
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,480
we can't get out. I'm spending all my time at

158
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,120
the jail answering the silly questions of these cornpall cops.

159
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,960
And now you. I've got rehearsals to don't know when

160
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:01,399
you get out.

161
00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 11: Oh no, Sammy, No, not rehearsals already. Terry hasn't even been.

162
00:09:06,159 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 4: Yes, Sammy, why are you so anxious to get in rehearsal.

163
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,519
Speaker 8: We've got a contract for a concert tour. That's what

164
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,360
we were doing in this corn palace, warming up for

165
00:09:14,399 --> 00:09:16,519
the tour. The band's got to be in shape in

166
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,799
a week, and the contract is canceled. No contract, no tour,

167
00:09:19,919 --> 00:09:22,320
no tour, no band, no band. We're on a panet,

168
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,399
you see. No, Just where do you fit in? I

169
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:26,679
like money, I eat it.

170
00:09:26,919 --> 00:09:28,399
Speaker 4: It's cheaper than food these days.

171
00:09:28,399 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 8: Besides, if we make out the agency is giving me

172
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,000
the band. I got it coming. It's like Terry had

173
00:09:34,039 --> 00:09:35,360
what happened coming to him?

174
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 11: Oh, Sammy, Well.

175
00:09:36,519 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 12: Terry was a slave and.

176
00:09:37,399 --> 00:09:40,399
Speaker 4: You know it. You are a man of grace and charm, Sammy.

177
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,399
Speaker 8: Send him away, surely, get him out of here.

178
00:09:44,799 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 4: Gentle psychotic? Isn't he? As we jazz lovers say, this

179
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:49,840
routine is murder?

180
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,159
Speaker 11: Well I'll talk to him. Will you wait for me? Simon?

181
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:54,879
Speaker 4: Need you ass.

182
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 12: I come in? Mister templar?

183
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,879
Speaker 4: Of course? Say how did you know me?

184
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 12: I talked Shirley into calling you. My name's Dick Carvin.

185
00:10:15,919 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 4: You're with the band.

186
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 12: All I do is beat these lousy drums? You ever

187
00:10:19,159 --> 00:10:19,679
hear that joke?

188
00:10:19,799 --> 00:10:22,879
Speaker 4: To the point of nausea? Who killed Terry Richards?

189
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 12: I don't know. The cops thought Shirley might have because

190
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,519
she found him, But it wasn't Shirley. I had her

191
00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:29,159
call you so you could prove it with someone else.

192
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 4: What was she doing in his dressing room? Was it

193
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,639
her habit to go there? The carveth dear boy, if.

194
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,519
Speaker 12: You want me to help, okay, okay, lay out for

195
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,279
four bars and I'll give you the score. I understood

196
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,519
Terry Richards. I didn't like him any more than anybody else,

197
00:10:41,519 --> 00:10:43,639
but I did understand him. I've been with him since

198
00:10:43,639 --> 00:10:45,840
the year one. Sammy has two only he played a

199
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:46,840
three year job with the army.

200
00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 4: Sammy called Terry a slob.

201
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,399
Speaker 12: Yeah, before the war, Sammy and Terry started this band.

202
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,399
Terry fronted at Samy arranged in, conducted rehearsals. A man

203
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,360
sent him greetings, and he went into the paratroops and

204
00:10:56,399 --> 00:10:59,120
came back top and hard. I thought he'd killed Terry

205
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,840
when he found out Terry cut in for one hundred

206
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,080
percent of the band. I remember his hands.

207
00:11:02,879 --> 00:11:04,759
Speaker 4: Were just a tady. Did he come back with Terry?

208
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,639
Speaker 12: Terry was up here mac number one. He was willing

209
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,320
to pay for Sammy's talent and pay good. That's the

210
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,360
only way could keep anybody, including Shirley Kid. It wasn't enough.

211
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:15,559
She had to work for him. She had to go

212
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,320
along with him a little way if she wanted her job,

213
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:18,960
and she did.

214
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 4: Why why she used to be the biggest name on

215
00:11:21,639 --> 00:11:24,960
radio without Terry Richards? How did she ever become a

216
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:25,679
band singer?

217
00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 12: Canary is a hard to figure. Maybe that's the question

218
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:30,480
you've got to answer.

219
00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 4: Is Terry Richards seems to have been a dismal kind

220
00:11:33,039 --> 00:11:33,879
of snail. Well.

221
00:11:33,919 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 12: I admired him, mister templar, for one reason. He knew

222
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,960
how to compete, fight, cheat, steel hip, below the belt,

223
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,960
but stay on top. He had one philosophy and had

224
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,879
fit this world. Great hooray for me and nuts to you.

225
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:48,320
If I could have had that, I'd have done all right.

226
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,840
I'd have been bigger than Terry Richards.

227
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:52,399
Speaker 4: But I haven't got it.

228
00:11:52,879 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 12: I admired the man who had.

229
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 4: This has been an enchanting recital of the foibles of humanity.

230
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,080
But who killed Terry Richards?

231
00:11:59,080 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 12: I wish you'd find out?

232
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 4: Why are you so anxiously?

233
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 12: Because without Terry this band can still go places. Oh

234
00:12:05,159 --> 00:12:07,720
we needed him like the met needs common Lombardo. Now

235
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,759
Samuel'll be in charge, don't you see, And he'll give

236
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:10,960
everybody a chance, even me.

237
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 4: What do you mean?

238
00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:13,919
Speaker 12: But Terry wouldn't give any of us a chance to shine?

239
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,000
We always had to feature his guitar. What we got

240
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,480
a real gone arrangement of temptation, just Me on tempts

241
00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:22,159
and Shirley on voice, real gone, real gone. But Terry

242
00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:22,840
wouldn't even less.

243
00:12:22,879 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 4: I've heard of progressive music as a sample. I'd say

244
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,759
it hasn't gone quite far enough. It's still in the

245
00:12:27,879 --> 00:12:28,919
range of hearing.

246
00:12:28,759 --> 00:12:33,399
Speaker 12: A mister template, Shirley, come on, let's go this wait

247
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,399
the green room.

248
00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 4: Good head on, Shirley, hout of the way. Call the cops.

249
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 11: Hurry, Oh, mister templar. Oh are you all right, Simon?

250
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,879
Speaker 4: Oh yes, Angel, I'll be all right.

251
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,879
Speaker 12: Hey, I thought you were dance she'd just fainted a templar?

252
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 4: Did you call the police? Dick of between.

253
00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:04,879
Speaker 12: Giving her smelling salts and bathing your head, I haven't

254
00:13:04,879 --> 00:13:05,679
met much of a chance.

255
00:13:05,799 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 4: What is they say? And there who done?

256
00:13:07,399 --> 00:13:09,879
Speaker 12: It's happened if somebody slugged you from behind and pushed

257
00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:11,120
me through the door and slammed it.

258
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,919
Speaker 4: O my neck. Wo there must have been a rabbit punch.

259
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 11: Do you want a doctor, Simon.

260
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 4: Dear heart, I want an answer. By the way, what

261
00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:19,799
did happen to you? Well?

262
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 11: I argued with Sammy for a while and then I

263
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,279
came over here and I picked up Sammy's battonment. This

264
00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:26,480
was wrapped around it and.

265
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,639
Speaker 4: Wait did I stand up? Oh? That floor was so comfortable.

266
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:31,879
What is this thing?

267
00:13:31,919 --> 00:13:33,759
Speaker 12: It's an e string from a guitar. Huh, it's what

268
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,000
was used to kill Terry, probably from.

269
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 4: His own guitar. Probably someone had a sense of poetic justice.

270
00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:42,639
A guitarist string for a guitarist. Let me see that thing?

271
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,879
Speaker 11: Wow, what's the matter?

272
00:13:45,159 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 4: I pulled it tight? It cut into my hands. He

273
00:13:47,759 --> 00:13:51,000
wit a minute? Did you know Terry was killed with

274
00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:52,639
an e string? Shirley, Well, it.

275
00:13:52,639 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 11: Was beside him when I found him.

276
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,399
Speaker 6: Between the time I called the police and the time

277
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:57,879
they got here, someone had taken.

278
00:13:57,639 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 4: It, Shirley, My sweet Emily post has it that? And

279
00:14:00,159 --> 00:14:03,519
one is in possession of evidence or information about evidence,

280
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,399
One tells the cops, or one suffers. One does. I

281
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,639
was afraid, but you see you are more afraid now.

282
00:14:09,919 --> 00:14:14,279
This thing is a warning for Sammy, for you, for everybody.

283
00:14:14,279 --> 00:14:16,519
By the way, where is Sammy? Why didn't he come

284
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:17,720
running when he heard his screen?

285
00:14:17,799 --> 00:14:19,399
Speaker 12: Same reason? I know she was in the green room

286
00:14:19,399 --> 00:14:21,399
and not his dressing room. His room is soundful.

287
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 4: I move that. We adjourned to Sammy's little cell and see, no,

288
00:14:25,519 --> 00:14:27,759
surely you're not going to be stubborn.

289
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 11: All right, let's go.

290
00:14:43,399 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 4: Something tells me we've got to break it down.

291
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,159
Speaker 12: Oh Sammy, all right?

292
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,919
Speaker 4: Dick. Now the cops are cops. We take care of Sammy.

293
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 13: I hope, mister Templer.

294
00:15:09,919 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 10: I have answered the questions of the police. I have

295
00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:14,399
answered the questions of my wife. Now you want me

296
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:15,480
to answer your question.

297
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,279
Speaker 4: My friend is doorman of this house of culture. You

298
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,960
are in a most enviable position. You see who goes

299
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,039
and who comes. Now let me review the bidding the

300
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:29,080
famous Terry Ritchley, infamous Terry Richard. Nonetheless, he was killed

301
00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:32,679
a bumbling, murderous toad came within a minute of killing Sammy.

302
00:15:32,679 --> 00:15:35,879
To day the same wart brained idiot delivered a rabbit

303
00:15:35,919 --> 00:15:38,759
punch to my neck. I only want to be sure

304
00:15:38,759 --> 00:15:41,039
it was no outside force. Do you follow me.

305
00:15:41,159 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 10: As the animal at one of the acro bench, mister Templar.

306
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,600
But I must repeat, no insidious force has come through

307
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,080
these bottles unless that force be you. And you should

308
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,120
hear Chief Ruggles on the subject of you police.

309
00:15:54,399 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 4: You don't like the police, mister Templar.

310
00:15:56,519 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 10: The police were put on this earth for one reason,

311
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,600
so that so called musicians could arise in the morning

312
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,799
with the assurance that somewhere on earth there was someone

313
00:16:04,919 --> 00:16:06,720
lower on the scale of human beings.

314
00:16:07,159 --> 00:16:09,759
Speaker 4: You could be censored for that. Tell me, are you

315
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:10,679
here all the time?

316
00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 10: Mister Templar. There are matters one does not discuss with

317
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,120
just any stranger.

318
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 4: Oh oh, oh, to say, I'm sure. I simply want

319
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,279
to learn who could be a murderer, that's all. It's

320
00:16:25,279 --> 00:16:28,039
a simple want. Some people want food. I want a murderer.

321
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,519
Some people want a new apartment. I want a sneaky,

322
00:16:30,679 --> 00:16:33,559
soft pedaled thug who could walk so softly he would

323
00:16:33,559 --> 00:16:38,559
be unheard, and who would slug me from behind.

324
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 10: Even I could do that, mister Templar. I wear sneakers.

325
00:16:44,759 --> 00:16:51,879
They're relaxing. I could come upon you so quietly, so

326
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,679
you could. I'll give a thought. Thank you so very much.

327
00:16:56,039 --> 00:16:59,320
It was nothing, mister Templar, I know nothing.

328
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,839
Speaker 4: You're feeling better, Sammy, Templar, You're still a wrong You're

329
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,880
not happy with me, Sammy.

330
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,079
Speaker 11: Sammy, Please, if it weren't for mister Templar, you might

331
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:19,559
be dead.

332
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,079
Speaker 8: All he hadn't shown up, it wouldn't have happened. He

333
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,319
got a hold of something and scared somebody.

334
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 4: That's all. Whom did I frighten? Sammy? You?

335
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 8: What do you mean?

336
00:17:28,279 --> 00:17:30,559
Speaker 4: It occurs to me that if I were a person

337
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,519
so willed and so frightened, I could hold a wire

338
00:17:33,599 --> 00:17:36,119
about my neck and induce unconsciousness.

339
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,319
Speaker 8: You've got rocks in your head, Templar. Why don't you

340
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:39,839
leave it alone?

341
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 4: Let the cops because somebody slugged me, Sammy, and I'm

342
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,079
very sensitive about such things.

343
00:17:44,079 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 11: Why don't you two stop fighting? This is serious. Somebody

344
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,160
else is going to get hurt.

345
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,839
Speaker 8: Yes, and I hear by nominate Simon, Templar.

346
00:17:50,519 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 4: I must decline because of the pressive business. Look instead

347
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,880
of us arguing like this, why don't you go rehearse?

348
00:17:57,039 --> 00:17:59,039
Speaker 8: Oh great, now he's going to run the band too.

349
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 4: No, but at least to be out of my hair

350
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:09,279
for a while. Sammy has an abrupt personality. Well, Shirley, we're.

351
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,839
Speaker 11: Alone, Simon. Are you getting anywhere?

352
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 4: The answer to that would have to come from your

353
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,519
own lovely lips. You're very sweet, Shirley, to see you

354
00:18:17,599 --> 00:18:19,440
as you are now? As well as they say in

355
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,799
the soap operas, it does something to me here.

356
00:18:22,319 --> 00:18:25,319
Speaker 6: I suppose whoever it is gets away with it. Suppose

357
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,039
he succeeds next time, kill Sammy or me.

358
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 4: Tell me, Shirley, did you kill Terry?

359
00:18:31,279 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 11: What did you say?

360
00:18:32,039 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 4: I said? Did you kill Terry and try to kill

361
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,799
Sammy Simon. I'm very rude. My analyst tells me, no,

362
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,039
never mind, my analyst, I hate him. You didn't answer

363
00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:41,599
my question.

364
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,799
Speaker 11: No, I didn't kill Terry. You satisfied eminently.

365
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 4: Tell me something, Shirley. A couple of years ago you

366
00:18:49,079 --> 00:18:51,839
were going great guns as a soloist. I remember reading

367
00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:54,920
something about a big recording contract. I had your recording

368
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,599
of April in Paris. It was one of the best

369
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:57,519
things I ever heard.

370
00:18:57,759 --> 00:18:59,279
Speaker 11: I'm still getting royalties on it.

371
00:18:59,559 --> 00:19:01,839
Speaker 4: How is it that you came to work with a band?

372
00:19:02,519 --> 00:19:04,720
What happened that you gave up your contracts and your

373
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,279
big career? Why do you stay with this band?

374
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 11: Is my career pertinent?

375
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 4: I don't know, but I do know that we're going

376
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,519
to have this cleared up very soon.

377
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 11: Oh do you really think so?

378
00:19:16,519 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 4: I've got something right on the tip of my mind.

379
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,440
Can't quite get hold of it, but I will. And

380
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,720
if we can clear it up in time and Sammy

381
00:19:24,759 --> 00:19:26,799
has the band in shape, you'll be hitting the road,

382
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,240
so you'd better be in shape. But why don't you

383
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,960
go to your dressing now dressed? Huh? Go ahead, it'll

384
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,000
do you good well.

385
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,519
Speaker 11: All right, if you say so.

386
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 4: I'll walk with you. Is that the idea of Dick's

387
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,680
about temptation going to work out? Really?

388
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,799
Speaker 6: I don't know, Simon, I'm not too crazy about it,

389
00:19:45,839 --> 00:19:47,640
but maybe it will, I hope.

390
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 11: So for Dick's sake, Dick say yes.

391
00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 6: You know, every time Sammy wrote an arrangement so Dick

392
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,279
would have some breaks, Terry would insist that it be rewritten.

393
00:19:55,799 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 11: For his guitar.

394
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,319
Speaker 6: Poor Dick would just sit up and keep a rhythm,

395
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,920
as he said, all he does is play those lossy drums.

396
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 4: Yes, it might be a break for Dick at that.

397
00:20:05,559 --> 00:20:08,960
He's a nice fella. He's got something coming, I should suppose.

398
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 11: Well, this is where I drop off. What are you

399
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:12,079
going to do?

400
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 4: Oh? I don't know, catch a murderer?

401
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:31,519
Speaker 14: Maybe?

402
00:20:33,039 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 12: Hello Dick, Oh hello, mister template.

403
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,759
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, don't stop playing. Go right ahead, Dick.

404
00:20:37,839 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 12: Oh, I'll just pass the time of day. Have any luck.

405
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 4: And I'm about to step out of the store window

406
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,039
and call for Philip Marlowe.

407
00:20:45,559 --> 00:20:47,319
Speaker 12: Well, if there's anything I can do, or any of

408
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,119
the fellas for that matter, I know they'll help.

409
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 4: I thought they were all happy to see you or

410
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,759
laid my stroke go. That was the impression I had.

411
00:20:53,839 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 12: Now, Sammy might give you that impression or that whacked

412
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,960
up doorkeeper out there, But I don't think anybody likes

413
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,400
to see somebody murdered, especially when they know the killer

414
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:02,200
is still in the loose.

415
00:21:02,279 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 4: Mm. But you fellas seem to be taking it in stride.

416
00:21:05,599 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 12: Some people, Yes, some people know me.

417
00:21:08,599 --> 00:21:11,839
Speaker 4: I'm worried it would take it easy. Now, say, you

418
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,599
certainly need a lot of paraffernia in your trade.

419
00:21:14,839 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, cymbals, TIMPs, bongo tambourines.

420
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:19,759
Speaker 4: What are these things?

421
00:21:19,759 --> 00:21:21,319
Speaker 12: Oh? These these are claves?

422
00:21:21,839 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 4: What are they for?

423
00:21:22,759 --> 00:21:24,319
Speaker 12: Sut a rhythm? Latin American stuff?

424
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 15: Hey, let me show you see. Very simple, Yes, indeed,

425
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,640
very simple. Yeah, this is quite an array of stuff

426
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,359
for one who just beats the drum.

427
00:21:35,599 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 12: That's all I do, beat these lousy drums.

428
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 4: Well, I have to do some more snooping, Dick. I'll

429
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:41,559
see you're.

430
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,079
Speaker 12: Out, okay, mister templar.

431
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 4: Lousy drums?

432
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:55,559
Speaker 8: Hey, what's your idea bussing in here?

433
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 4: Amy? I've got two questions for you if you're interested

434
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,720
in finding Terry Richard's killer. I'm not number one. You

435
00:22:01,799 --> 00:22:04,440
were in the paratroops, Yes, I was in the para

436
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,519
number two. Did you make patrols behind the lines where

437
00:22:07,519 --> 00:22:09,440
you had to kill a man with your own hands?

438
00:22:10,599 --> 00:22:11,400
You scuff?

439
00:22:11,519 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 8: I asked your question, did you That's my answer. I

440
00:22:16,319 --> 00:22:18,400
get out of here, and if I set eyes on

441
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,119
you again, I'll kill me.

442
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 4: Sammy, get out. You know, I think i'd feel much

443
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,559
better if you'd take my head and your lap and

444
00:22:37,599 --> 00:22:40,200
bathe my face. I hadn't feel much better.

445
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 6: Oh Simon, stop it. You know you shouldn't have just

446
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,880
barged in on Sammy like that. He has a temper

447
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,079
and he doesn't like to be reminded of Well, it

448
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:51,759
just should have been more diplomatic.

449
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 4: I was diplomacy, my dear girl, is not always a

450
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,680
matter of kid gloves.

451
00:22:56,759 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 6: Oh Simon, why don't you give it up? I'm awfully

452
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:00,880
sorry I got you into this.

453
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 4: I'm not at all. It's well worth everything just to

454
00:23:03,519 --> 00:23:05,279
sit here and have your sympathy.

455
00:23:05,279 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 11: And he surely, Simon, what's the matter?

456
00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 4: But dressful round the neck of it?

457
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,599
Speaker 11: An east, Simon?

458
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 4: I think I know what it means now, all of it?

459
00:23:18,319 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 11: Why me? Do I know something? What is it?

460
00:23:20,599 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 4: No? You don't know anything, but you've done something? Yes, yes,

461
00:23:24,759 --> 00:23:25,519
it figures.

462
00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 11: Oh, Simon, I don't cry.

463
00:23:27,559 --> 00:23:31,759
Speaker 4: Sureley, tell me, did Sammy get someone to take Terry's

464
00:23:31,759 --> 00:23:35,640
place with the guitar? No good, first to take care

465
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,160
of that for him, But second, you're going to make

466
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,599
sure the public address system is warmed up in the

467
00:23:40,599 --> 00:23:43,319
wings so I can use it. And third you're going

468
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,319
to tell Sammy and Dick you want to run through temptation.

469
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 11: Oh no, Simon, I couldn't.

470
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 4: Make like that tired old gag. You know, the show

471
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,359
must go on. It's one of the most important things

472
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,839
in your life. And I want you to do just

473
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,880
as I say, or I'm afraid you're not going to

474
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,319
have a life to have important things happen an in.

475
00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:13,319
Speaker 8: Off Kenn's taking once and then forget it. No, com

00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:14,720

You smile, luring me on. My heart was gone you temptation.

482

Speaker 4: What's you got away from me? Timper, I'll kill you.

485
00:25:25,759 --> 00:25:28,200
You're killing Daser over Son all over what.

486
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 8: Are you trying to Temple, trying to lost up the

487
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:30,279
whole plan?

488
00:25:30,599 --> 00:25:32,599
Speaker 4: The music you play hasn't lost up your band? How

489
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,559
could I possibly do, Simon, I'll clip you.

490
00:25:36,559 --> 00:25:38,279
Speaker 11: How could it? I don't understand.

491
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,599
Speaker 4: We understand, don't we, Dick, what you're talking about, Sammy?

492
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,720
If you will call the cops, I'll tell Dick a

493
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,720
little story about a man who was very ambitious, who

494
00:25:46,799 --> 00:25:49,480
wanted to be big and important, like Terry Richards, who

495
00:25:49,519 --> 00:25:52,279
didn't want anybody to get in the way of his ambitions,

496
00:25:52,279 --> 00:25:56,480
who admired selfishness and ruthlessness. It's about the story. Will

497
00:25:56,519 --> 00:25:57,480
tell his nitty.

498
00:25:58,039 --> 00:25:59,799
Speaker 12: Oh I do is beaty loudly?

499
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 4: Oh, I don't bit she's loving dum.

500
00:26:14,279 --> 00:26:16,519
Speaker 11: But why did he try to kill me? Simon?

501
00:26:17,039 --> 00:26:20,759
Speaker 4: Dear, just remain as you are, Simon.

502
00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:21,839
Speaker 11: You should know.

503
00:26:22,079 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 4: No, I do know. He killed Terry because, as you said,

504
00:26:25,759 --> 00:26:28,440
Terry took all the licks. Would you say that Dick

505
00:26:28,519 --> 00:26:31,720
thought belonged to him? Then he got real ambitious. He

506
00:26:31,759 --> 00:26:33,960
wanted to be like Croup of his own band, and

507
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,359
he tried to kill Sammy. Then he could fight for

508
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,519
the leadership of a band that was already great.

509
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 11: Oh, it's so awful.

510
00:26:40,039 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 4: Dear heart and a woman.

511
00:26:41,319 --> 00:26:46,599
Speaker 11: It's so wonderful, Simon. Oh, but when did you.

512
00:26:46,519 --> 00:26:48,279
Speaker 4: First suspect that you are wonderful?

513
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 11: No, that Dick was the killer.

514
00:26:51,279 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 4: I was puzzled that someone had used a guitar string

515
00:26:54,039 --> 00:26:57,359
for the purpose of strangling Terry Richards. It cuts into

516
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,480
the hands and there's no purchase unless it's wound around

517
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,279
the hands, and that gives no wire for strangulation. Then

518
00:27:04,319 --> 00:27:08,799
I came across the Klavi's and Dick's drums, and everything

519
00:27:08,799 --> 00:27:09,559
fell into place.

520
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 6: I see, you know, I remember when Sammy got back

521
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:14,839
from the army and we had a party and he

522
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,640
got drunk and told us how they used to kill

523
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,960
the enemy with wire, the ends of which were tied

524
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,119
to batons to give them.

525
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,079
Speaker 11: What did you say, purchase.

526
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 4: Shirley, You're making Simon sound anticlimactic, and that's not in

527
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:27,119
the contract.

528
00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:31,559
Speaker 11: Oh. I'm sorry, Simon. You really did a good job.

529
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 4: But just here's your idea.

530
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 11: Oh, Simon.

531
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,799
Speaker 4: Well, in any event, Dick remembered Sammy's tales of the paratroops.

532
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,519
He tied the ends of the guitar strings to the

533
00:27:41,559 --> 00:27:44,599
klavi's he used for Latin American rhythms, and then he

534
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,400
approached his victims from the rear, looped the wire over

535
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:48,960
their heads and curtains.

536
00:27:49,039 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 11: Oh, how terrible.

537
00:27:50,519 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 4: It was very clever. When you screamed and fainted and

538
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:55,839
we came to you, he stepped behind me and slugged me.

539
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,519
Then he ran to make his pass, it killing Sammy.

540
00:27:58,559 --> 00:28:00,640
He wasn't clever enough to take it time and make

541
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:01,200
it thorough.

542
00:28:01,559 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 11: I think it's so gruesome.

543
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 4: I think it's wonderful.

544
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 11: Oh Simon, your cat, But I do.

545
00:28:06,079 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 4: The more I explain, the more you shiver, and the

546
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,400
more you shiver, the closer you're coming. It's what theerful?

547
00:28:11,559 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 11: Will you please listen to me for a moment.

548
00:28:14,319 --> 00:28:16,759
Speaker 4: No, dear, you're upset. You'll be going back to the

549
00:28:16,799 --> 00:28:19,720
city now, you know. I think that monster Chief Ruggles

550
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,880
will release all of you. Why don't you have dinner

551
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,079
at my place, just you and me. You like my place.

552
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,599
I have a fine collection of modern arts, especially Picasso.

553
00:28:30,319 --> 00:28:33,839
Speaker 11: You're inviting me to come up and see your picassos.

554
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 4: My dear, when one is charming as you comes to

555
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,640
my place, it's not to see the picassos, but the

556
00:28:38,799 --> 00:28:39,880
handwriting on the wall.

557
00:28:41,039 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 8: What are you doing with my wife? Template you're my wife.

558
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,559
Speaker 11: Oh how depressing, Simon. That's what I've been trying to

559
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,039
tell you. You asked why I stayed with this band

560
00:28:51,039 --> 00:28:53,880
and gave up my other career. Well it's because Sammy

561
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,960
and I have been secretly married for six months.

562
00:28:56,039 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 4: Oh no, well that's why.

563
00:28:57,559 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 11: I called you. I was afraid when the police found up.

564
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,640
I think that Sammy killed Jerry because of jealous.

565
00:29:02,359 --> 00:29:04,279
Speaker 8: I would still like to know, Templar, what you were

566
00:29:04,279 --> 00:29:05,759
doing with your armor on my wife.

567
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,839
Speaker 4: I Oh, I was consoling.

568
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 8: I've got some consolation for you.

569
00:29:13,279 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 4: As Emmy. I wouldn't advise violence. I'm ready this time violence.

570
00:29:17,559 --> 00:29:21,759
You've got me all wrong. Shep ruggles. Sammy, how what

571
00:29:21,799 --> 00:29:22,240
do you want?

572
00:29:22,359 --> 00:29:24,759
Speaker 8: You're still looking for template? What else here is?

573
00:29:24,799 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 9: Oh?

574
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:29,279
Speaker 4: No, Temper, I want to talk to you.

575
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:30,759
Speaker 8: Say goodbye to the nice man.

576
00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:34,759
Speaker 11: Surely, goodbye, Simon, and thanks nice weeks.

577
00:29:34,799 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 8: We'll meet again over my dead body. I'll try to

578
00:29:37,799 --> 00:29:38,359
arrange it.

579
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,880

Speaker 3: Then Summer Symphony on NVCAT.

598
00:31:02,359 --> 00:31:07,559
Speaker 1: Welcome back. Well, another story with a musical setting, though

599
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:12,200
this time more in a swing setting, and the Saints

600
00:31:12,519 --> 00:31:17,640
learned an important lesson to really be sure of a

601
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:23,440
woman's marrible status before making advances to be fair to

602
00:31:23,599 --> 00:31:27,440
Simon and everyone else. It really was an honest mistake.

603
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,279
You can understand. She wouldn't have been wearing a wedding

604
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:37,039
ring even after the bandleader was killed. You wouldn't necessarily

605
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:41,319
want that you had this situation where you were secretly married,

606
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:46,200
as that would tend to play suspicion on Sammy. But nevertheless,

607
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,680
Sammy was not amused. But I'm not too hard on

608
00:31:49,759 --> 00:31:53,720
him because of the way the Saint asked that question

609
00:31:54,039 --> 00:31:59,640
about his wartime service. Now, of course there are exception

610
00:32:00,319 --> 00:32:05,160
but as a general rule, most return veterans did not

611
00:32:05,359 --> 00:32:09,519
want to talk too much about their experiences at war.

612
00:32:10,079 --> 00:32:14,880
In fact, I've even heard radio program where they've had

613
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:20,839
PSAs advising people don't ask them about the war, don't

614
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:25,440
ask them to provide details. So for the Saint to

615
00:32:25,559 --> 00:32:30,440
ask that question that way, yeah, it was a bit tactless.

616
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:35,240
Of course, he was investigating a murder, but from Sammy's perspective,

617
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:41,079
he doesn't actually have any capacity or business in being there,

618
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:48,079
So to have this unwelcome interloper asking such a question

619
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,799
of him, and he was probably asked about it by

620
00:32:50,839 --> 00:32:54,039
the police, probably in a more tackful way, be hard

621
00:32:54,039 --> 00:32:57,160
to ask in a less tackful way. He certainly didn't

622
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:03,519
feel obligated to answer to Simon Templar, and I can

623
00:33:03,599 --> 00:33:06,599
imagine that's part of the reason why he had no

624
00:33:06,759 --> 00:33:10,720
trouble turning him over to Chief Ruggles. One thing I

625
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,640
will say about Chief Ruggles is it's an unusual name

626
00:33:14,799 --> 00:33:21,319
because there was actually a fairly famous character actor by

627
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:26,319
the name of Charles Ruggles. Ruggles was known for quite

628
00:33:26,359 --> 00:33:30,960
a few comic roles, which cuts against the image of

629
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,119
the chief that they're trying to project, of this hard

630
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,880
nosed small town cop. Even for the era. A bigger

631
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:45,200
challenge was that there was actually a television sitcom called

632
00:33:45,279 --> 00:33:49,359
The Ruggles in which Charles Ruggles played the main character.

633
00:33:50,039 --> 00:33:54,440
So it's an unusual name and an odd one to

634
00:33:54,559 --> 00:33:59,960
give to a kind of hard nosed, walk on police chief.

635
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:06,519
The song Temptation had a wide variety is one of

636
00:34:06,559 --> 00:34:10,440
the more popular songs of the era. It was written

637
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:15,400
by Nashio, Herb Brown, and Arthur Freed and published in

638
00:34:15,519 --> 00:34:20,519
nineteen thirty three. There were versions done by Bing Crosby,

639
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:25,760
so many cover versions, and that's not even counting all

640
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:30,840
of the radio singers who took a turn with this song.

641
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,880
Because when they were doing live music on radio, you

642
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:40,760
would often have the rather than having like individual music,

643
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:45,880
you would have the very talented show singer sing out

644
00:34:46,199 --> 00:34:50,079
you know, whatever song was most popular. So this is

645
00:34:50,119 --> 00:34:53,400
one I've heard quite a few versions of and I

646
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,719
thought it was fairly well done for this episode. Listener

647
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,519
comments and feedback Now and we go once again to

648
00:34:59,599 --> 00:35:04,519
our lit listener survey, where Russell from West Haven, Connecticut writes,

649
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,000
love Vincent Price, something about the man even though he

650
00:35:08,079 --> 00:35:11,280
went to Yale to be able to do Shakespeare and

651
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:15,440
avenge his wife from the horrible doctors, the non terrible doctors.

652
00:35:15,519 --> 00:35:20,400
Love me that Vincent Price. Well, even so many years

653
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:25,360
after his death, he remains a recognized and cultural icon,

654
00:35:25,559 --> 00:35:28,559
and glad to be able to feature him on the podcast.

655
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,920

666
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,639
Speaker 17: Now, let's see you want the other member of the gang.

667
00:36:10,639 --> 00:36:13,119
I told you there was four. That's me and Marilyn

668
00:36:13,199 --> 00:36:16,119
Ketch and the fourth. The fourth is Noonan seventy five

669
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:16,760
twenty five.

670
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,519
Speaker 4: Noonan. We call him that on account of that's the cudio,

671
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:20,599
so we know, we know.

672
00:36:20,679 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 18: Come on, well, now, if I can make a suggestion

673
00:36:24,559 --> 00:36:26,800
to you, I think this is going to surprise you.

674
00:36:27,599 --> 00:36:30,639
I'd pick up Noonan on the robbery, but for TenneT

675
00:36:30,679 --> 00:36:32,519
twenty at least. But if you stop here, you'd be

676
00:36:32,599 --> 00:36:33,280
missing a bed.

677
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 4: How's that?

678
00:36:35,079 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 17: What je happened to remember? Kind of a jeweler by

679
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,119
the name of Emmanuel Liebman.

680
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:42,199
Speaker 10: What about Leibman?

681
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 4: Well, nobody thought about Noonan and Liban today.

682
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,559
Speaker 17: Now, now I can't say exactly that Noanan shot him,

683
00:36:48,599 --> 00:36:50,760
since I didn't say him to it. Only well I

684
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,599
asked him, mister Tenney's seventy five twenty.

685
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,280
Speaker 8: Five, well known for the way he keeps squeezing the trigger.

686
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 4: You're saying Nolan did it?

687
00:36:56,519 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 17: Well, all I know is the morning gott Chowdren like

688
00:36:58,559 --> 00:37:00,719
fifteen twenty minutes after it, and I got a phone

689
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,039
call from knowing it and he says I'm in trouble

690
00:37:03,079 --> 00:37:05,840
fed cut so I says, compile, I'll help you.

691
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,559
Speaker 4: No, you helped him, all right, you helped him. Fine?

692
00:37:07,639 --> 00:37:10,199
Speaker 17: What kept my mouth shut sixteen months without saying a word,

693
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:11,320
didn't I?

694
00:37:11,519 --> 00:37:13,559
Speaker 4: What's somebody? I don't like my testimony? Mister? All right?

695
00:37:13,599 --> 00:37:13,920
All right?

696
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 12: I want a statement on all this car signed.

697
00:37:17,199 --> 00:37:19,119
Speaker 3: I don't want you suddenly discovering I know he broke

698
00:37:19,159 --> 00:37:19,639
your arm.

699
00:37:19,519 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 4: To get it out of here. It's fair dirty.

700
00:37:23,599 --> 00:37:25,599
Speaker 8: I might be a story, but nobody says I haven't

701
00:37:25,639 --> 00:37:26,480
went back on my word.

702
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,920
