00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,439
Thanks so much for your support. Now from March fifteenth,

18
00:01:31,719 --> 00:01:36,159
nineteen fifty two, here is the Gordon Merrick murder case.

19
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 2: Broadways might be from Times Square to Columbus Circle, the gaudiest,

20
00:01:53,799 --> 00:01:57,200
the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world.

21
00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:14,599
Speaker 3: Broadway is my beat with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Klover.

22
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: When Broadway leaps into the nighttime. The sound is a

23
00:02:22,879 --> 00:02:25,800
thing compounded of trumpet and machine and hiss and the

24
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,840
gaudy laugh. They melt together the noise. You get a

25
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,759
shock when the month is March and the rains of

26
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,080
spring fall softly into the riot. Shark scatters and huddles

27
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,919
tightly behind this facade and that in that doorway, behind

28
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,520
that window. The street is hurry up and get out

29
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,599
of the weather. The street is stragglers, is bleeding neon.

30
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,199
So make a phone call, find a friend. It's lonely

31
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:58,080
in the rain. There were ceiling to floor windows where

32
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,800
I was to enjoy the view high above the city

33
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,560
and look out over it, blurred now by the spinning

34
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,479
rain drops. The penthouse apartment and violent death on the

35
00:03:07,479 --> 00:03:10,680
fortieth floor with its own private entrance and detective mug

36
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:11,800
of a kneeling over it.

37
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,319
Speaker 4: It's a way to die, Danny, A thirty two slug,

38
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,319
i'd say, shot in the back. Of course, it's frowned

39
00:03:17,319 --> 00:03:18,520
on by one hundred percent sports.

40
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: Where is the mugument?

41
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,039
Speaker 4: Name's Gordon Merrick. You know Angel Merrick.

42
00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:26,159
Speaker 2: I hope he makes Angel the showbacker with a golden

43
00:03:26,199 --> 00:03:27,879
touch is meant what the columnists call him.

44
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, they'll think of a better one after the night.

45
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: We let's have a muggument.

46
00:03:31,319 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 4: What happened so pretty definite? When he was shot a

47
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,479
hotel like this time is everything calls request for room service?

48
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:37,719
Speaker 2: You know?

49
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 4: Merrick called down for champagne at eleven thirty and the

50
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,080
table service for two. Would you drink champagne alone and

51
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:44,719
a rainy night in.

52
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 2: A place like this? Sure? For two?

53
00:03:47,039 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 4: Waiter brought everything. A half hour later at midnight, no answer.

54
00:03:50,199 --> 00:03:52,840
Walked in, saw Merrick lying there any callers of the desk,

55
00:03:52,919 --> 00:03:55,800
you know, anybody could get on the public elevator the

56
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,159
thirty fifth floor, get off, take the private elevator to hear.

57
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: No way of checking. The painting underneath him looks like

58
00:04:01,479 --> 00:04:03,520
he grabbed it when he fell. I don't blame him.

59
00:04:04,199 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 4: All I got that resembles that picture I had to

60
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,719
cut out of a magazine, and the taste in my

61
00:04:07,759 --> 00:04:12,319
locker with Merrick. It's a life sized oil painting. Comes

62
00:04:12,319 --> 00:04:13,680
the time I back a show's dying.

63
00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 5: That woman Arrow Royce, beautiful girl like I saw her

64
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:18,839
a couple of weeks ago coming out of the theater

65
00:04:18,879 --> 00:04:21,279
where show was playing. I would have found some excuse

66
00:04:21,319 --> 00:04:23,959
to stop her and talk to her. You know your

67
00:04:23,959 --> 00:04:29,120
cars parked in the wrong zone or something. Well, work

68
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:35,680
to do, huh daddy, And through the window the pattern

69
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,800
of the city far below, sodden now with rain and mist.

70
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,959
Speaker 2: The sunken city. It's roar, muted, it's brilliant, dimmed and

71
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,800
sallad in the haze of night rain. Then the quick

72
00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:49,439
phosphorescent gleam of neon. And only neon has the power

73
00:04:49,439 --> 00:04:52,800
of flight through this darkness. All other lights are slowed,

74
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,800
their shimmer flows on the currents of wind. And here

75
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,720
and there are trapped, gathered into a blob, shapeless, blurred,

76
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,600
And the man on the pavements below pauses an instant,

77
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,040
touches a flame to a cigarette, hurries away because this

78
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,639
death in this place has somehow whispered into the fall

79
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:16,600
of rain. And at headquarters, the opening of a file

80
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:19,319
on the death of Gordon Merrick, the image of the

81
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,519
woman's portrait to whom he spoke is dying gives you

82
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,639
the first entry. A name Carol Royce, an address, Sutton

83
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,240
Place on the East River. Go there, the woman who

84
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,480
finally opens the door to who is wrapped in night

85
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,920
lace and goes well with March Torrent.

86
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 6: I was trying to sleep.

87
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 7: It's quite late, you.

88
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: Know for me. It's late. I'm from the police. Miss Royce.

89
00:05:41,319 --> 00:05:41,959
May I come in?

90
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 5: It's late.

91
00:05:42,639 --> 00:05:46,399
Speaker 7: I told you I'm trying to sleep. I haven't met Nate.

92
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: It's about Gordon Merrick.

93
00:05:48,399 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 4: What have I to do it?

94
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 7: What about Gordon?

95
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 2: He's dead, he was murdered.

96
00:05:54,680 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 6: Please come in, I asked, do something? Yes, what have

97
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,560
I to do with Gordon Merrick?

98
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 7: Alive?

99
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:05,439
Speaker 8: For him?

100
00:06:05,639 --> 00:06:08,199
Speaker 2: We found him holding a portrait of you when he

101
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,319
was shot on the back. He must have reached out.

102
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,639
Speaker 7: And in the back, poor boy, in the back.

103
00:06:15,399 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 2: It must have hurt you think so think what?

104
00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 7: Think that it hurts? Tell me I want to know.

105
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 2: I'll send you the oudiptse you report. Do that, please

106
00:06:25,759 --> 00:06:27,600
do that. That's all it means to you. Is dying

107
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:27,879
like that?

108
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 6: Gordon called me at the theater tonight, asked me to

109
00:06:31,879 --> 00:06:35,399
a champagne supper for two, a cold bird and candle

110
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,519
light to talk about things. I was bored talking to

111
00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:42,639
her about things, so I didn't go. I came home,

112
00:06:43,439 --> 00:06:47,240
tried to sleep. Oh my portrait in his.

113
00:06:47,399 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 7: Arms, poor boy?

114
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,399
Speaker 2: Talk to him about what things?

115
00:06:51,399 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 6: Miss Rice, vic king him over there on the silver

116
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,680
picture frame. I met him when I tour at the

117
00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:02,240
USO Lot four. The man stood out from that olive

118
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,439
drab crowd on the hill. I went oxyr him tooth

119
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:05,879
and claw.

120
00:07:06,959 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 2: I got him, and Mark wanted you back, wanted you

121
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:10,800
away from this vic Caine.

122
00:07:11,279 --> 00:07:14,199
Speaker 7: He never made it, but he died trying.

123
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:15,399
Speaker 4: That.

124
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 7: You can say for Gordon Merrick. He never stopped.

125
00:07:18,759 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: Trying, vic Caine. Did he know about you? America? Jealous?

126
00:07:24,399 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 7: Jealous? Is my vic so bitterly so without reason. I

127
00:07:29,439 --> 00:07:33,680
adore the man. You hear a night filled with rains

128
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,800
and no, vict you're here?

129
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 2: Where does he live?

130
00:07:36,959 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 6: A rooming house on third seven fifty six Third Avenue,

131
00:07:41,319 --> 00:07:43,160
But he won't be there when you go to him.

132
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,839
Speaker 7: I've been calling him ever since I got home. Hello,

133
00:07:49,079 --> 00:07:52,959
Oh yes, yes, is this.

134
00:07:54,959 --> 00:07:56,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, vic Caine.

135
00:07:57,519 --> 00:08:00,639
Speaker 7: No, our eager voice stays man. And as you're calling

136
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:05,720
a rehearsal for tomorrow's matinee, you dick between the two

137
00:08:05,759 --> 00:08:06,120
of you.

138
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 6: You've murdered, sleep anything else you want.

139
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: Then and leave there. And the drive mile downtown through

140
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,720
the streets of wavering shapes and rain that slants towards you.

141
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,319
With the sound of the windshield wiper that somehow becomes

142
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,879
intimate and lolling. The spotlight on the car searches out

143
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:31,560
a house number finds it be told Vic Caine is

144
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,559
not at home. But why don't you wait? Sir? That

145
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,279
chair over there in the hausers for waiters. So wait.

146
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,799
The hall is a place of built in draft and

147
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,000
a picture of a tiger at bay and a rug

148
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:47,879
becoming one with a wooden floor. Wait and in an

149
00:08:47,879 --> 00:08:59,320
hour your name, Vic Caine? Who are you Polish Danny Clover.

150
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 3: Waiting for me? I could have waited in my room, mister.

151
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,759
In here it's always open, a stinking room by the

152
00:09:08,799 --> 00:09:11,960
side of the road. What do you want, cop?

153
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,399
Speaker 2: Information about the death of Gordon Merrick.

154
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 3: Be dead on a rainy night. Very theatrical. He be

155
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,399
shot in the black Victor. You got a gun?

156
00:09:21,759 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 5: Yeah?

157
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 3: I got one?

158
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 2: Two?

159
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 3: You want a pat pat on top of your head

160
00:09:25,279 --> 00:09:28,039
and admiring, don't you? You just tell your boss? I said,

161
00:09:28,039 --> 00:09:31,039
you're real good for thirty two? It is yet it sure?

162
00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: Hey?

163
00:09:43,639 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 2: What is I find a Vic?

164
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,039
Speaker 3: What do you think I'm doing?

165
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 2: Cop?

166
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,279
Speaker 3: Going through a ritual before I reach on to the

167
00:09:48,279 --> 00:09:50,600
mattress and say well here it was all the time.

168
00:09:51,039 --> 00:09:51,759
The gun is gone.

169
00:09:51,799 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna just walked into your room by the side

170
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,519
of the road, which you leave open because you're friendly,

171
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,000
unless somebody took it. Is that right?

172
00:09:57,039 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 3: That's right?

173
00:09:57,799 --> 00:09:58,919
Speaker 2: Where were you tonight? Right?

174
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,279
Speaker 3: Shooting snooker point out the table. The acoustic want.

175
00:10:02,039 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: Me to between eleven and twelve midnight.

176
00:10:04,759 --> 00:10:07,799
Speaker 3: And me walk along Broadway past Carol's Theater to look

177
00:10:07,799 --> 00:10:10,399
at the posters. Then had me a long walk in

178
00:10:10,399 --> 00:10:13,080
the park in the rain. Let's see your shoe, Vic,

179
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,960
Come on, come on, hold it up. Let's see it's

180
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,919
a muddy park to night. Vic, your shoes are awfully clean.

181
00:10:20,039 --> 00:10:21,960
What did you do? Walk on your hands? Now, look,

182
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,960
you're under arrest. Vick suspicion of murder.

183
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,759
Speaker 2: And deliver him to homicide to the deaf handlers for

184
00:10:31,879 --> 00:10:36,320
further questioning, further probing. The coffee scalded too many times,

185
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,679
the pack of cigarettes tossed in a gleaming arc from

186
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:43,519
one shadow to another. The quiet night talk Caine stays

187
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:47,000
with his story is booked locked up on suspicion of

188
00:10:47,039 --> 00:10:50,240
the murder of Gordon Merrick, and in a room reserved

189
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,519
for it, gather up the shreds and rags of sleep.

190
00:10:52,639 --> 00:10:55,799
Try to arrange them on the steel cot, not quite

191
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,159
make it, because too quick there's a gentle clutching at

192
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:58,759
your shoulder.

193
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 8: Danny, Danny, Sorry I have to bother you, but there's

194
00:11:02,759 --> 00:11:03,720
a man waiting for you.

195
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 2: In your office. A couple hours now.

196
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,039
Speaker 8: I tried to let you sleep as long walk.

197
00:11:07,879 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 2: Away from sleep to where the man waits. A bulk

198
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,639
of a man is hand like a clump of cold

199
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:18,879
iron in your yours, and his voice soft, surprisingly soft.

200
00:11:19,039 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 5: I wish I didn't need to disturb your mister Clover.

201
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,519
You boys work hard, need all the dreams you can steal.

202
00:11:24,799 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 2: I know, and the thing I can do.

203
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,519
Speaker 5: For you if you care who you can. It's a

204
00:11:28,519 --> 00:11:31,600
matter that rests entirely with you. My position being rather

205
00:11:31,639 --> 00:11:35,240
ambiguous in this thing, which makes me a pleader, mister Clover,

206
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,799
a special pleader for what I'm a private investigator, Jackie Skahan.

207
00:11:40,639 --> 00:11:43,360
I've been retained this morning by a Miss Carol Royce

208
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,279
to investigate the murder of Gordon Merrick, which you were handling.

209
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,200
I understand you see now what an ambiguous position she's

210
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,200
pluto to have told.

211
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,519
Speaker 2: Her you didn't want it. You could have told her

212
00:11:53,519 --> 00:11:54,519
the police for handling.

213
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,159
Speaker 5: And you've seen her, mister Clover. You talked to her

214
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,639
at the moment when she expected another. Or you will

215
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,080
understand my receptiveness that in the large.

216
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,159
Speaker 2: Fee she's paying you to find Vic Caine innocent of

217
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,159
Merrick's murder.

218
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,159
Speaker 5: An observation not to a stute considering how deeply she

219
00:12:11,279 --> 00:12:16,320
loves this Caine man. No offense, mister Clover, honestly, no offense.

220
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 2: If you took the job, you must believe that you

221
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:22,639
can do that prove Kin's innocence. Otherwise she's thinking all

222
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,279
that she offers under false pretenses not true, mister Clover.

223
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,480
I shall work very hard with intigrity, but I prove nothing.

224
00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:34,799
I get nothing, only expensive to think. We've grown to

225
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,000
admire here, mister Scott, integrity, and you'll admire me.

226
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,159
Speaker 5: And since I must begin the process somewhere, your permission

227
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,639
to speak with the Caine man in his cell, that is,

228
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,799
if it's moving, Danny Clover.

229
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,879
Speaker 9: Here, Danny, get down to the more kind of thing

230
00:12:51,919 --> 00:12:52,720
for you, real.

231
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 2: Interesting thing right away. You want to talk to Kain

232
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,000
And that's a special play.

233
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,159
Speaker 5: Mister Scott, exactly so I too can earn my ca tell.

234
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 2: Him at the desk. I said, you could have an hour.

235
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,279
Go ahead, prove his innocence. Garn I'll admire you when

236
00:13:06,279 --> 00:13:07,120
it happens.

237
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 4: Over here, Danny, why don't you take a look at somebody?

238
00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:25,519
Speaker 2: Okay, what have you gone?

239
00:13:25,799 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 4: This woman been here in the more since five this morning.

240
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,480
She'd been dead about half hour. Who issue the name

241
00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:35,720
that's made the police blotter a lot of times, Vicinity

242
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:36,200
of the Bowery.

243
00:13:36,279 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 2: What'd you call me for this?

244
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,879
Speaker 4: This gun was found beside her in an alley downtown

245
00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:44,320
and it's been up the technical, Danny. Slug that killed

246
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,759
this woman came from this gun. Also the slug that

247
00:13:46,879 --> 00:13:47,759
killed Gordon Merrick.

248
00:13:48,639 --> 00:13:53,039
Speaker 2: Let's see it for a second. Serial number has been

249
00:13:53,039 --> 00:13:53,440
filed off.

250
00:13:53,519 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 4: Yeah. I was coming to that, the boys and technical

251
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:56,480
raising numbers and you.

252
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,639
Speaker 2: Know what, No, I don't know what. Come on, come on?

253
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,159
Guns registered to vic but I had Dick book to

254
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:01,879
two this morning.

255
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, his gun, this woman, he couldn't have killed. You've

256
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,720
got to find yourself a new murderer.

257
00:14:19,039 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 3: You are listening to Broadways My Beat, written by Morton

258
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,679

Speaker 2: This is Burt Lancaster.

262
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:35,759
Speaker 9: I've been doing quite a bit of traveling around the

263
00:14:35,759 --> 00:14:39,519
world lately, either on location or making personal appearances. But

264
00:14:39,559 --> 00:14:41,639
I always keep in touch with Hollywood by listening to

265
00:14:41,639 --> 00:14:45,000
the Lux Radio Theater every Monday Night over the CBS

266
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,840

267
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,879
Hollywood because you can always be sure of hearing the

269
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,320
don't you tune in with me to the CBS Radio

270
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,279

272
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: Theater this Monday night.

273
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 3: It's Barry Fitzgerald and Blythe and Dennis Day in Top

274
00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:21,159
of the Morning on most of these same CBS radio stations.

275
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,399
Speaker 2: The squall of rain lashes once more at Broadway. For

276
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,600
the time of its passing, the desolation is complete. Only

277
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,679
the gutters run with movement. Only the pavement receives reflects

278
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,720
the shrieking of spectaculars, the insinuations of neon, the whisperings

279
00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:39,279
into nothing, the shrill promises offered on rain tossed when

280
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,480
and finally the storm begins. It's dying, and from underground

281
00:15:43,559 --> 00:15:47,240
a girl darts, her slicker, glistening, her hair streaming under

282
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,600
the shelter of a newspaper torn from the trash bin.

283
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,960
And after her, another and then another. The street is

284
00:15:53,000 --> 00:16:00,399
no longer desolation. Something else now, something that happens after rain. Yeah,

285
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,240
from a window. Consider it. Follow the trickle of a

286
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,120
rain drop with your finger. Consider that in this passing

287
00:16:08,159 --> 00:16:11,320
storm a woman it lay dad in an alley. Then

288
00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:13,879
turn away from it. You come face to face aside

289
00:16:13,919 --> 00:16:16,200
Tottaglia rains.

290
00:16:16,279 --> 00:16:18,679
Speaker 8: Indeed the moody thing, ain't Anny?

291
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 2: Oh well, hell out? You know.

292
00:16:20,639 --> 00:16:23,559
Speaker 8: I tossed a similar comment to missus start Taglia during

293
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,120
the night. I knocked on her shoulder, woke her up

294
00:16:26,159 --> 00:16:29,960
and said, missus, t rain is a moody thing. It

295
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,799
taps on windows, calls up memories of cotwood. You woke

296
00:16:33,879 --> 00:16:37,120
her to tell her that once she woke me about snow.

297
00:16:37,919 --> 00:16:39,840
We have an understanding about things like that.

298
00:16:39,919 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 2: Danny. I'm glad for you both.

299
00:16:41,759 --> 00:16:43,799
Speaker 8: I shall tell missus t you didn't mind I woke

300
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:45,960
her up, thank you anything, and me, g you know

301
00:16:46,759 --> 00:16:48,600
what do you have to tell me. And then the

302
00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:51,080
woman found dead of the same gun which did murder

303
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,080
one Gordon Merrick.

304
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,399
Speaker 2: What about her? You know, a woman.

305
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 8: Sophie Henry by name, a freaquent caller at a precinct polgy,

306
00:16:58,279 --> 00:17:03,559
a frequent instigator of friendly riots, etcetera, etcetera. Wreck it

307
00:17:03,679 --> 00:17:04,440
up to hear, Danny.

308
00:17:04,559 --> 00:17:05,039
Speaker 2: I don't the end.

309
00:17:05,039 --> 00:17:07,519
Speaker 5: It brought a connection between her and Gordon Merrick.

310
00:17:07,799 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 8: None, Danny was gone over by the department with tooth

311
00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:11,119
and comb.

312
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,039
Speaker 2: Look connection anything else that ress if you.

313
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,839
Speaker 8: Need it besides the polky your flea bagging the Bowery.

314
00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:19,559
I scrolled the name here, Danny, take if you need

315
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:24,240
You're welcome. That boy we're holding for Mary's murder, Danny

316
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:24,960
vic Kane.

317
00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:26,319
Speaker 2: What about him?

318
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 8: Do we release?

319
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 2: Not yet? You know, there's still an answer. I got

320
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:38,039
to find why Sophie Henry was killed with his gun. So,

321
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,359
because the new murder is closer to you in time

322
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,119
than the old one, pursue the reasons for violence done

323
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,160
upon a woman named Sophie Henry, late of the Bowery,

324
00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:50,559
late of police blaughters, late of the living. The ride

325
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,039
downtown at the tip of the island. The streets are

326
00:17:53,079 --> 00:17:56,079
clean now after the rain, the chalk on the walls faded,

327
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,480
the gutters running deep, and turbulence for the five year

328
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,000
old sailor of matchsticks. The address you're looking for his

329
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,000
place between a grocery store and a bar, and no

330
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,720

373
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 10: No?

374
00:19:53,759 --> 00:19:54,319
Speaker 5: Give his name?

375
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:56,079

376
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,960

378
00:20:03,039 --> 00:20:04,880
got dressed like always and she went out. So I

379
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,599
closed my door and went back to sleep.

380
00:20:07,759 --> 00:20:08,039
Speaker 8: Poor.

381
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,599
Speaker 10: So you know, she was like a little girl. Nothing

382
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,599
you couldn't ask her to do, And She would do

383
00:20:13,599 --> 00:20:14,160
it right away.

384
00:20:14,319 --> 00:20:18,599
Speaker 5: She would talk just one thing, mister Clover. Looks good

385
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,759
for my client, doesn't it. How can you possibly figure

386
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,240
the cake the killer?

387
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:48,039
Speaker 2: Thanks, garn, I'll call you when I want you. Hello, Vic, Welcome,

388
00:20:48,799 --> 00:20:51,119
Carl Roy's been in to see your Vic. She was here.

389
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 3: She wept and pressed her lips against the wire mesh

390
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,119
and carried on everything. But they saw on the fruitcake.

391
00:20:57,759 --> 00:21:00,279
Speaker 2: I can't figure you with all the I have.

392
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 3: Theolice psychologists had to go at me a little while

393
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,599
ago and screaming down the hall.

394
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: I can't figure Vic because a woman like Carol Royce

395
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,039
is in love with you, A beautiful woman, talented, famous, hold.

396
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,319
Speaker 3: Acoustic, little finger crooked just so you love Carol. It

397
00:21:15,319 --> 00:21:16,640
eats you what I got for Carol.

398
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,039
Speaker 2: That's not what I asked you. Listen.

399
00:21:18,079 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 3: You love what you want with me, lover?

400
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that gives you motively to kill for

401
00:21:31,079 --> 00:21:33,359
We've been over that. I said no to you. I

402
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,960
know you went walking in the park at the time

403
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:36,680
of Merrick's death.

404
00:21:36,799 --> 00:21:39,599
Speaker 3: Hey, I forgot to tell you something about that. But

405
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,200
I scraped the mud off my shoes so I wouldn't

406
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,039
get the landlord's rug all muddy and dirty. He's got

407
00:21:45,079 --> 00:21:47,640
trouble enough with the tenants to drop cigarette buttarr'd.

408
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 2: Let's assume you've scraped your shoes and you're all needing natty.

409
00:21:51,319 --> 00:21:54,079
Do you happen to walk past Merrick's apartment house and

410
00:21:54,319 --> 00:21:56,480
just happened to get on the elevator and just happened

411
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:57,559
to get off with the penthouse?

412
00:21:57,559 --> 00:21:59,279
Speaker 3: I've never been in a penthouse in my life, which

413
00:21:59,279 --> 00:21:59,960
includes Mary.

414
00:22:00,079 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 2: One more question, Vic, did they let you see the

415
00:22:03,039 --> 00:22:03,680
morning papers?

416
00:22:03,759 --> 00:22:06,519
Speaker 3: I saw him, but you have a tree? Doesn't cop?

417
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,319
Kind of kind of what kind of jury is gonna

418
00:22:09,319 --> 00:22:09,799
convict me?

419
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 2: Cop?

420
00:22:10,559 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 3: Merrick dead with my gun?

421
00:22:11,799 --> 00:22:12,519
Speaker 2: I go to jail.

422
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 3: Hours later, I'm still in jail and somebody else has

423
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,519
found shot to death in an alley, also shot with

424
00:22:17,559 --> 00:22:20,480
my gun. My gun was stolen, Like I said, it

425
00:22:20,599 --> 00:22:22,759
was that guy, that guy that Carol hired for me,

426
00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:25,359
that Jackie Skhan. He's going to find out what this

427
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:26,079
is all about.

428
00:22:26,519 --> 00:22:36,079
Speaker 2: What do he wants? You know? Thanks A look, you'll

429
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,559
be interested in this too, Vic. These copies of your prints?

430
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,960
What about him? Say? Matched perfectly with Prince taking off

431
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,599
the phone at mister Gordon Merrick's penthouse apartment.

432
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, what so I was at his apartment, that's right.

433
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,920
I forgot to tell you. I made a free phone

434
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,599
call from there. But I didn't kill Merrick because I

435
00:22:56,599 --> 00:22:58,599
didn't have a gun. My gun was stolen. That I

436
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,759
can prove. My gun killed Merrick and it also killed

437
00:23:01,799 --> 00:23:04,799
a dame while I was in your jail. So what

438
00:23:04,839 --> 00:23:05,640
are you going to prove?

439
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 2: Cop and leave him Spend the rest of the afternoon

440
00:23:12,559 --> 00:23:15,519
wondering about Vic's question. What was I going to prove?

441
00:23:16,319 --> 00:23:18,839
And all this, Vic would never be brought to trial

442
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,000
unless I could prove something his statement that is going

443
00:23:22,039 --> 00:23:25,319
to have been stolen would hold. But make an assumption

444
00:23:25,519 --> 00:23:28,960
and work from there. Assumption VIC had murdered Gordon Merrick.

445
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,279
Reason for assumption VIC had lied twice, the mud that

446
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,960
wasn't any shoes, his prints that were on a telephone.

447
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,319
Further reason for assumption. He had motive for killing Merrick,

448
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,359
motive the love of Carol Royce. What needed to be

449
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,680
known now was how the murder gun was found in

450
00:23:44,759 --> 00:23:48,440
the bowery beside a dead woman. So have dinner and

451
00:23:48,519 --> 00:23:50,880
think about it. Read a newspaper ketch up on back

452
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:55,039
detail and it's eleven thirty, a late time, but still

453
00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:58,279
a question time. So go now to the apartment of

454
00:23:58,359 --> 00:23:59,119
Carol Royce.

455
00:24:07,319 --> 00:24:11,519
Speaker 6: Hm, it's getting habitual. I opened the door and it's

456
00:24:11,519 --> 00:24:14,359
you mind if I come in a well turned question?

457
00:24:15,039 --> 00:24:17,279
Speaker 2: Yes, I might mind if I ask why?

458
00:24:17,319 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 7: Because I'm dressed like this.

459
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 6: My third act costume happens to be this neglige eh, and.

460
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 7: I rush right home.

461
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 2: You've got to talk, miss Royce, if you want to

462
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,480
change all wait, well, a.

463
00:24:27,599 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 7: Packed house saw me like this tonight. Come on in

464
00:24:31,039 --> 00:24:38,519
for some standing room in here and don't stand too long.

465
00:24:38,599 --> 00:24:41,839
It gets me nervous, say you'll say, and get out.

466
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 6: I understand you saw Vic this morning, Miss roy Yes,

467
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:48,920
I did the team with bars in front of him.

468
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,839
Speaker 7: I wanted to measure my self control.

469
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 2: Do you think you'll be getting out?

470
00:24:52,799 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 6: I don't know much about the law, but I doubt

471
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:56,599
whether they'll even arrain him.

472
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,599
Speaker 7: It's what my friends tell me. It's what I read

473
00:24:59,599 --> 00:25:04,000
in the paper. Nick's coming home to me. We'll have

474
00:25:04,079 --> 00:25:07,079
a party. You'll drink wine from my slipper.

Speaker 6: We'll pass it around the room and only the two

476
00:25:10,039 --> 00:25:11,160

00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,079
Speaker 10: When's it coming back to soon?

500
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,599
Speaker 2: Sue? You can believe that if you want, Miss Royce,

501
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,680
But that's not the way it is. Vic Kane killed

502
00:26:26,759 --> 00:26:31,880
Merrick out of jealousy over you. Gently, my dear, I too.

503
00:26:32,079 --> 00:26:34,640
Did you tell her Vic Prince were found in Merrick's apartment?

504
00:26:35,799 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 3: Oh gently, you said it would be all right.

505
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,559
Speaker 5: Situation doesn't flo once so much drama I did. It's

506
00:26:45,599 --> 00:26:47,400
really a very simple situation.

507
00:26:47,519 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 2: Let's start from there. Vic killed Gordon Merrick out of

508
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,880
jealousy over you, Miss Rice. He used Merrick's phone called

509
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,759
you told you what he'd done. Listen, So miss Royce

510
00:26:56,799 --> 00:26:58,839
got in touch with you Scott, and you set up

511
00:26:58,839 --> 00:26:59,160
a thing.

512
00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 5: I'm sure this voice is quite bored with all this now,

513
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,400
Miss Royce, you set.

514
00:27:05,279 --> 00:27:05,839
Speaker 7: Up a thing.

515
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 6: Gone, picked up fixed gun where he left it in

516
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,160
his room.

517
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 2: Then killed, that's right, Then killed Scarne got hold of

518
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,000
a woman named Sophie Henry murdered her with VIC gun.

519
00:27:21,079 --> 00:27:22,079
Speaker 5: Did you did?

520
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:22,839
Speaker 10: You did?

521
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 2: Look that way? If they could never be brought to

522
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,720
trial lack of sufficient evidence, his story about his stolen

523
00:27:27,759 --> 00:27:31,680
gun couldn't be disproving all I get out of this expenses.

524
00:27:31,759 --> 00:27:34,079
Speaker 5: Like I told you, I don't help in any way.

525
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,160
I get practically nothing. But you helped. You did a lot.

526
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:38,839
You get a reward.

527
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 2: Coming if you want. Let's go gone.

528
00:27:41,279 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 5: That's Carol Royce Clover. No, then we'll have to do

529
00:27:47,519 --> 00:27:48,440
it another way.

530
00:27:50,839 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 2: You want.

531
00:28:07,039 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 7: Is my gun? Mister Clover? Did I kill him? Is

532
00:28:12,519 --> 00:28:12,920
he dead?

533
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 2: He's dead?

534
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 7: Good taking me away? I feel clean again.

535
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,119
Speaker 2: Broadway is almost empty now, except for those who never quit,

536
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,319
those who wear peep holes for eyes, the dream walkers,

537
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,759
the people who want to laugh, the search behind doorways,

538
00:28:50,839 --> 00:28:57,640
in alleys, through shuttered windows. They never go home because

539
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:05,079
they can't. It's Broadway, the gaudiest, the most violent, the

540
00:29:05,119 --> 00:29:10,799
lonesomest mile in the world. Broadway My Beat.

541
00:29:26,599 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 3: Broadway's My Beat stars Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover,

542
00:29:31,039 --> 00:29:35,200
with Charles Calvert Astrotaglia and Jack Kruscian as Muggavin. The

543
00:29:35,279 --> 00:29:38,640
program was produced and directed by Elliott Lewis, with musical

544
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:42,920
score composed and conducted by Alexander Courage. In Tonight's story,

545
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,440
Rita Johnson was heard as Carol Royce, Herb Butterfield as

546
00:29:46,519 --> 00:29:50,400
Jackie Scarn, Martha Wentworth as Missus Polk, and Paul Richards

547
00:29:50,519 --> 00:30:01,359
as Vic Caine. Tomorrow Night, Joseph Coutt stars in Playhouse

548
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,680
on Broadway. The play is titled in a Lonely Place,

549
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,359
Don't Forget. It's a filler for a Playhouse on Broadway.

550
00:30:08,519 --> 00:30:09,319
Speaker 2: Tomorrow and I on.

551
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:13,359
Speaker 3: Most of these same CBS radio stations. And remember Robert

552
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,319
Q's Waxwords bring you the top records and recording artist

553
00:30:16,400 --> 00:31:07,400
on the CBS Radio Network.

554
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 1: Welcome back. Well, the role of the smooth talking private

555
00:31:22,799 --> 00:31:28,680
investigator is probably one of the more unique Herb Butterfield

556
00:31:28,799 --> 00:31:31,640
roles we've heard, and we have heard quite a few

557
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,559
of them. He was also the way he was played,

558
00:31:34,799 --> 00:31:38,240
the last guy you would expect to meet violent death

559
00:31:38,359 --> 00:31:41,720
at the end of the episode, but a good way

560
00:31:41,759 --> 00:31:45,799
to surprise us. All right, Well, now we turn to

561
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:51,000
listener comments and feedback, and we start on Spotify, where

562
00:31:51,119 --> 00:31:54,680
a random Spotify user rights, I'm like Danny, I don't

563
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,680
speak Spanish, but when I talk to someone who does,

564
00:31:57,839 --> 00:32:02,119
I speak slower and more clearly and louder. It doesn't work,

565
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,559
but I always give it a chance. Well, thanks for

566
00:32:05,599 --> 00:32:08,559
that comment, and I can see how in certain cases,

567
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,319
like if someone knew just a little bit of English

568
00:32:12,519 --> 00:32:16,559
though Spanish was their primary language, they might pick up

569
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:20,079
on what you're saying, though obviously there are ways to

570
00:32:20,119 --> 00:32:23,720
push that too far. All right, So just a quick

571
00:32:23,799 --> 00:32:27,880
couple quick updates again somewhat your regular for the way

572
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:34,119
we do our show. I'm actually recording these episodes. I'm

573
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,680
hoping to get through the last three of the week,

574
00:32:36,759 --> 00:32:42,480
as well as a counterspy from my parents' place in

575
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,680
Callus Belle, and then we will have our Summer break

576
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:51,319
week coming up next week with some summer encores that

577
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:52,599
you're sure to enjoy.

578
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 2: Well.

tomorrow for drag NetWare.

590
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 2: I'm at a description lot. It's anything unusual there, No,

591
00:33:36,039 --> 00:33:36,880
I wouldn't say so.

592
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,039
Speaker 11: Small girl, I put three or four, I'd say one

593
00:33:40,119 --> 00:33:42,960
hundred and ten or fifteen pounds, dot care, shoulder length,

594
00:33:43,599 --> 00:33:47,880
got guys, nicety questions, very pretty, I wow twenty.

595
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:48,799
Speaker 7: It's what she told me.

596
00:33:48,799 --> 00:33:50,799
Speaker 11: Anyways, she said she had a Bristie and me. I

597
00:33:50,839 --> 00:33:52,799
remember we talked about that she was born under the

598
00:33:52,839 --> 00:33:55,759
same kind Iowa, and all.

599
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 2: The tucks you had with this and our girls. You

600
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,240
never gave you any reason to think that anything was

601
00:33:59,279 --> 00:34:00,079
wrong with it.

602
00:34:00,079 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 5: Seemed to be despondent, depressed about anything, perfectly normal girl.

603
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 11: As far as I could tell, I just can't get

604
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,039
over it. I can't imagine her doing anything like this.

605
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,079
Speaker 2: Well, how'd you seen this morning when you got in

606
00:34:10,119 --> 00:34:12,519
on the bus. Pretty much the same, yes, I think.

607
00:34:12,599 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 7: So we got off the bus together.

608
00:34:15,039 --> 00:34:16,760
Speaker 11: She had her hands full with the baby, so I

609
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,400
helped her off with the hand belief she was carrying.

610
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,920
When we got inside the waiting room, she mentioned that

611
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,519
she had to go pick up some luggage from the

612
00:34:23,559 --> 00:34:25,960
tech stands. She asked me if I'd mind very much

613
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,360
holding her baby while she went after it. I said, no,

614
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,440
not at all. She went around the corner of the

615
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,079
baggage stand and that's the last I saw.

616
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,559
Speaker 3: You checked around the depot, did you, and you had

617
00:34:34,559 --> 00:34:34,960
her paid.

618
00:34:35,119 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 11: I talked to everyone in the place, supporters, ticket close

619
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,599
Information to travelers aid not one of.

620
00:34:40,519 --> 00:34:41,079
Speaker 7: Them could help.

621
00:34:41,119 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 11: I tried everybody. There were times another yea, he.

622
00:34:48,559 --> 00:34:51,119
Speaker 7: Tried to see did somewhere.

623
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 2: Wonderful?

624
00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 11: It's adorable. It's a little boy, she said. He's named Steven.

625
00:34:57,039 --> 00:34:59,599
Speaker 2: Yes, ma'am, Oh, you say you've been way around the depot?

626
00:34:59,639 --> 00:35:01,119
Three are there? The baby been said?

627
00:35:01,559 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 11: Yes, this handley similar girl gave me the whole. I

628
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,119
found a bottleful of formula in it, and that's coffee

629
00:35:07,119 --> 00:35:12,000
shop formed for me. No teller here finished it off. Well,

630
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:13,960
I guess we'll be wanting some more pretty soon.

631
00:35:14,199 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 2: I guess were back. Yes, I can't imagine.

632
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 7: I just can't imagine.

633
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:20,519
Speaker 4: This little boy.

634
00:35:20,679 --> 00:35:25,039
Speaker 7: Just look at him, her own baby, so small, helpless?

635
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,119
How could she go off and leave you?

636
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,119
Speaker 2: Well, I guess she had a reason. Must have been important.

637
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:31,559
Seven week old baby?

638
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 7: What's more important than that?

639
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,599
Speaker 1: I hope you'll be with us then in the meantime.
