Speaker 2: Goodnight. The Case of the Bouncing bank Ropper. Another counters

20
00:01:59,879 --> 00:02:02,799
by report to the American people brought to you each

21
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,439
Tuesday and Thursday by Pepsicola. Pepsicola hit the spot.

22
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:08,479
Speaker 6: Two full glasses.

23
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 2: That's a lot, that's right, you heard what they said.

24
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,639
Two full glasses of sparkling pepsi from one big twelve

25
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,719
ounce bottle. You're getting an extra glass fall. And what

26
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,639
a delicious glass fall. The most refreshing, delightful cola that

27
00:02:21,759 --> 00:02:25,240
ever tickled your teeth. You can't top Pepsi's tangy flavor.

28
00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:28,639
And that big, big bottle saves you money, goes twice

29
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,639
as far. Pepsi's America is big, big favorite and America's

30
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,879
biggest cola value. So why take less when Pepsi is best?

31
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,120
Whenever you reach for refreshment? Remember why take less when

32
00:02:43,360 --> 00:03:02,520
Pepsi's best? And Now to Counterspy. Sometimes counter spy cases

33
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:06,520
extend over a period of years. The Night's case, however,

34
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,680
extended over a period of hours. The most exciting six

35
00:03:10,719 --> 00:03:17,400

85
00:07:30,959 --> 00:07:35,120
leaped straight through this window without any hesitation. Yes, wondering

86
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,519
he didn't cut himself to pieces.

87
00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:39,639
Speaker 10: Well, he was wearing a very heavy leather jacket from

88
00:07:39,639 --> 00:07:40,480
what I could see.

89
00:07:41,519 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 6: He ran to about here.

90
00:07:43,839 --> 00:07:47,759
Speaker 10: His partner said something, then he turned and shot him

91
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,000
and then continued on straight through the window.

92
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 6: That's him. Did you notice how he went through the window?

93
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 10: Definitely, as he leaped, he covered his head with his arms,

94
00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:01,160
actually broke the glass with him, and he landed outside,

95
00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:02,600
just like a tumbler in the circus.

96
00:08:02,839 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 6: How do you mean, Well, you know the trick they

97
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:05,120
have just.

98
00:08:05,079 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 10: Before they land, They double up, bring their chins down

99
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,319
sharply and actually land on their shoulders and back. You're

100
00:08:10,399 --> 00:08:12,879
very observant, mister Fulton. Well it happens. I took my

101
00:08:12,959 --> 00:08:15,399
daughter to the circus two nights ago. I couldn't help

102
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,680
noticing the peters. Excuse me, mister Fulton.

103
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 15: Yes, a report just came in on the whole up car. Yes,

104
00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:22,560

eighteen Street and Avenue J at four ten pm.

106
00:08:25,439 --> 00:08:27,959
Speaker 16: The lead patrols guarding it. Now good, we'll get out

107
00:08:27,959 --> 00:08:50,919
there as soon as we can. Is there any chance, doctor.

108
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,799
Speaker 17: Not much, mister Harding. That's why we're using the respirator.

109
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,279
So wonder this gunman wasn't dead on arrival with these

110
00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:00,480
bulletphones in him?

111
00:09:00,639 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 6: Well, is there a chance he'll regain consciousness even for

112
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:03,840
a moment or so.

113
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 17: Well, that's what we're trying to do. Right now, he's

114
00:09:14,279 --> 00:09:19,000
going fast? Or try doctor, try right, there's some of

115
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:27,039
the hypodemic adrenaline. Yes, alcohol on his chest. Nos, thank you,

116
00:09:33,039 --> 00:09:47,600
there'll be a few seconds. Yeah, he's responding. You better

117
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:48,840
get over here if you want to talk to him.

118
00:09:48,879 --> 00:09:59,240
Mister hardy and the lead's moving here, I'll remove the respirator.

119
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:06,399
Let's start talking with Johnny.

00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:19,639
Speaker 6: Can you hear me? Listen? Can you hear me? You

Speaker 6: Right out? Yes? On street? Twenty four one? Johnny?

128
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,679

00:11:42,879 --> 00:11:44,600
I heard it on at six o'clock news.

136
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 6: Why do you have to start blasting away?

137
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 7: Do you want me to know sit there and wait

138
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:49,080
for the cops.

139
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 6: What about my description?

140
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,159
Speaker 7: Do you think they haven't got that. Who can describe

141
00:11:53,159 --> 00:11:56,159

146
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,519
Speaker 7: We'll take that chance. All my life, I've been taking

147
00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:17,240
that extra chance nobody else takes. It's always paid off. Besides, Babe,

00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,759
Speaker 2: That's a lot lots more value, a lot more death

260
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,920
I take less when Pepsi's best. More and more among

261
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,400
fellows and girls, among mothers and dads, you hear that

262
00:20:53,519 --> 00:20:57,400
sane and sensible question. Why take less when Pepsi's beat,

263
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,279
no budget, no allowance ever had a better friend than tangy,

264
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,759
sparkling pepsicola. Because one big twelve outs Pepsi bottle gives

265
00:21:05,759 --> 00:21:09,400
you two delicious drinks. That's twice as much tangy taste,

266
00:21:09,759 --> 00:21:13,039
twice as much delicious Pepsi to go just twice as far.

267
00:21:13,839 --> 00:21:17,240
That's why more and more families say, why take less

268
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,359
when Pepsi's best. Yes, family is like yours and mine.

269
00:21:21,799 --> 00:21:26,000
Families all over America they're all saying, why take less?

270
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,880
When Pepsi's bet pepsi cola.

271
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 7: So delicious and its pottle makes two drinks?

272
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,319
Speaker 2: It is certainly the cola for the purchaser who thinks

273
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,480
everybody's drinking Pepsi.

274
00:21:36,079 --> 00:21:38,319
Speaker 4: Does compare it when the rest so much more and

275
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:39,160
so much finer?

276
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 6: Why take less?

277
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:44,759
Speaker 2: When Pepsi says today tomorrow always get America's biggest cola

278
00:21:44,839 --> 00:21:49,559
value take all mc carton of six big big pepsi bottles.

279
00:21:49,559 --> 00:21:53,119
Insist on pepsi at the store, and say pepsi at

do our best to avoid it. I hope you can. Hey,

330
00:24:53,279 --> 00:24:54,480
listen to those animals.

331
00:24:54,519 --> 00:24:56,039
Speaker 7: They're upset and scared.

332
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 6: All right in the microphone. We know you're in this.

333
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 18: We've got it surround it. I'm playing smart and give

334
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:06,920
yourself up.

335
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 2: The animals.

336
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,599
Speaker 4: They'll get excited today. Look, our lions will loose, shooting

337
00:25:15,599 --> 00:25:18,200
the locks off the animal cages. Edward one, all arm in,

338
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,720
where do you get your animal? Man here quick, Pondo,

00:25:20,799 --> 00:25:22,720
we got him from now, we've got the pitch in.

340
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,799
Before that turqut stop finds out, the animals will lose.

341
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:25,599
Speaker 6: Bottle Petty.

342
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 7: Hey, mister, where do you think you're going?

343
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:40,599
Speaker 6: Roller coast is under repair?

344
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,319
Speaker 7: Which stall it? Sis day, get out of that check

345
00:25:42,319 --> 00:25:43,799
of food. You're going for a ride with me, But

346
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,640
the coast is under repair. I tell you at you

347
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:46,240
run it off.

348
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,079
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll miss her gun.

349
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 7: All right, Girley, start moving fast.

350
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,319
Speaker 4: I hope they get all the animals mister honey, we'll

351
00:26:03,319 --> 00:26:03,799
do our best.

352
00:26:03,839 --> 00:26:07,039
Speaker 6: Pretty all the rotten tricks. We still got Hollow's escape cover.

353
00:26:07,079 --> 00:26:10,759
But you can't get off this point. Who's that Annoysem's pretty?

354
00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:12,279
Speaker 4: That's the roller coaster.

355
00:26:13,279 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 6: That's funny.

356
00:26:13,759 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 4: It's not supposed to start now, hallo.

357
00:26:16,519 --> 00:26:19,319
Speaker 6: The roller coaster. Oh he's crazy. Where can he go?

358
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:20,160
We'll find out.

359
00:26:20,319 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 7: Come on.

360
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 6: Tough spot to hard to see the upper part of

361
00:26:36,039 --> 00:26:38,400
the coaster. Mister party, hows this thing built?

362
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 4: It's a pretty long ride all around. First long incline

363
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,240
starts right here, goes up to a height of about

364
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:45,759
seventy feet right at the edge of the water.

365
00:26:45,799 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 6: Butt huh, I can make out something now, Dave a

366
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,359
man in a leather jacket. It'sndo all right in the car.

367
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,240
Holy smoke. That the girl with him?

368
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 7: Girl good?

369
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 4: Heaven's the ticket girl from the booth here?

370
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,519
Speaker 6: I don't get hondo ski. The roller coast only goes

371
00:27:00,519 --> 00:27:01,519
to around and ends up right here.

372
00:27:01,759 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 4: You can take a high diet from the top of

373
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,240
this first in finding into that water. Maybe get away

374
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:06,519
from it after all in the dark.

375
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 6: Party, how do you stop the coaster? Yes, yes, right here,

376
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:20,880
this big weaver. It stopped Dame Honda's getting up, starting

377
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,920
to climb forward out of the car. Final warning shot, Peters,

378
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,839
come down, Han know he's firing back. Holy smoke, Peter,

379
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,759
you're gun. He's almost out of the car. Look out

380
00:27:33,799 --> 00:27:38,240
for the girl. You got him to Come on, we'll

381
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:39,920
climb up right in time, get him and the girl.

382
00:27:41,559 --> 00:27:45,799
Speaker 4: What's that the car slipping back? Oh, something's broken. I

383
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,920
saw tooth wheels in the middle of the track. They

384
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,039
act as a break.

385
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 6: Coming right down here in fasts we are crash. Stand

386
00:27:51,720 --> 00:28:07,160
back and pray for that girl. Come on, take a

387
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,319
look at the girl, Peter. How is she?

388
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 4: He just faded, no cuts or anything. Look how about

389
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,039
handle here he is in the wreckage.

390
00:28:19,079 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 6: This shot did a dave. He was wild and a

391
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,720
wild animal. Peter. This is one case we can close

392
00:28:25,759 --> 00:28:29,640
without a trial. I can't say I'm sorry it took

393
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:39,960
us six hours.

394
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 2: When your friends drop in, be generous, but be thrifty too.

395
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:51,759
There are plenty of delicious pepsicola. Pepsis be twelve ounce

396
00:28:51,799 --> 00:28:54,680
bottle gives you not just one sparkling glassful, but two.

397
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,400
Get a cart in the six and serve twelve delicious drinks. Yes,

398
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,799
Pepsi is America's biggest col of value. You get twice

399
00:29:02,839 --> 00:29:06,880
the tangy taste, twice the refreshment, twice the pepsi. So

400
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,039
why take less when pepsi is dead. Whenever you reach

401
00:29:11,119 --> 00:29:15,920
for refreshment, remember pets, the call up hits the bots glasses.

402
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,000
That's a lot lots more value, a lot more deaty,

403
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:24,079
take less when tune in every Tuesday and Thursday, same time,

404
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,400

exciting Counterspy case of the Murdering Messenger.

406
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,079
Speaker 4: The fast talking man who posed as himself to impersonate

407
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:39,839
someone else, the strange corpse that was discovered a quarter

408
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,480
mile deep in the earth, and the river boat which

409
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,400

Laarde production for Pepsicola. Enjoy some Pepsi ice Cold Tonight.

415
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:37,519
Speaker 1: Welcome back Well, Counterspy very openly, and I think quite

416
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,799
successfully tries a story that's a bit of a departure

417
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,039
for them. I think that when you think of Counterspy,

418
00:30:45,319 --> 00:30:51,960
you tend to imagine these sort of very long playing

419
00:30:52,039 --> 00:30:56,039
out cases, but here you get a real action thriller

420
00:30:56,279 --> 00:31:00,799
playing out in the course of six hours. Embrace makes

421
00:31:00,799 --> 00:31:05,759
an intimidating villain, although I would say I probably if

422
00:31:05,799 --> 00:31:08,160
I were a criminal, would not want to be paired

423
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,759
with him, as he's a bit unpredictable and tries things

424
00:31:12,799 --> 00:31:17,039
that only he ends up surviving. Race illustrates. I think

425
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:22,240
that there is a limit to how far just pure

426
00:31:23,319 --> 00:31:29,119
audacity and nervness will take you. But still it's quite

427
00:31:29,119 --> 00:31:32,839
a ride while it lasts. All right, Well, now it's

428
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,480
