00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:52.280
<v Speaker 6>You hurried?

40
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:59.039
<v Speaker 2>Please, okay, okay. Here was streamlined, close cropped hair, the

41
00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:01.360
<v Speaker 2>color of a smoky sun and set the low heeled slippers,

42
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:04.840
<v Speaker 2>brocaded and brogs, and in between address that conformed us

43
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.960
<v Speaker 2>close and smooth as lacquer on a Chinese vase. I

44
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:10.039
<v Speaker 2>made four turns and four blocks and pulled into the

45
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:12.520
<v Speaker 2>curb and stop. You stabbed to look at me with

46
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:14.719
<v Speaker 2>a pair of shop jade green eyes that said life

47
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:17.560
<v Speaker 2>had always been nothing but a calculated risk. And she

48
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:19.080
<v Speaker 2>stepped out of the car and smiled.

49
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:20.319
<v Speaker 5>You were a big hell brother.

50
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.599
<v Speaker 2>Thanks good bar, and not just like that, baby, Come here.

51
00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:25.680

<v Speaker 6>Now.

53
00:03:26.120 --> 00:03:28.280

00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.400
<v Speaker 5>it right here. It's trouble. You wouldn't like it.

55
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:33.240
<v Speaker 2>On the contrary, it's business like keeping my own nose clean.

56
00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm a private detective, but I didn't issue any invitation

57
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:37.000
<v Speaker 2>for you to jump into.

00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:38.719

66
00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:59.319
<v Speaker 5>and why she's following me, but every time I look back,

67

<v Speaker 2>Uh huh, so what's the point?

00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:26.360

<v Speaker 5>Huh yeah, here mallow, fifty and fifty one hundred dollars.

83
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:40.680
<v Speaker 5>I want you to locate that woman, find out who

84
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:41.879
<v Speaker 5>she is and why she's after me?

85
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Will you not without a few more effects, for instance,

86
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.240
<v Speaker 2>because she had some connection with your business?

87
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 5>No, I have two men working with me, A strong

88
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:52.720
<v Speaker 5>one named Harlan Casey, who sees that my cash gets

89
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:55.160
<v Speaker 5>safely to where it's going, and a smart one named

90
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:57.439
<v Speaker 5>Joe Temple, who knows what to buy with it. She

91
00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:58.639
<v Speaker 5>doesn't belong to either of them.

92
00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Are you sure positive?

93
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:06.879
<v Speaker 5>Casey hates all women, even me, I think, And Joe Temple, well,

94
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:10.079
<v Speaker 5>Joe's a wonderful guy, you hint like a woman falling

95
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:11.639
<v Speaker 5>in love with a fellow named Joe Temple.

96
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Can't they talk about it further?

97
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.720
<v Speaker 5>Why Temple and Katy have been in San Francisco all

98
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:17.399
<v Speaker 5>week on a deal?

99
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 2>A big deal.

100
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:20.959
<v Speaker 5>It'll make or break. It's every set I have is

101
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:21.560
<v Speaker 5>tied up in it.

102
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:23.680
<v Speaker 2>What about you and Joe Temple?

103
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:28.639
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, well, perhaps this will explain. I planned to go

104
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 5>away this weekend, but I changed my mind because I

105
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:34.240
<v Speaker 5>didn't want to missus letters. I know it sounds funny,

106
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:34.839
<v Speaker 5>but it's true.

107
00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:36.199
<v Speaker 2>Those must be some letters.

108
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:39.759
<v Speaker 5>They are like the one I got this morning. It's

109
00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:42.680
<v Speaker 5>half business, all right, complete account of how hard he

110
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:46.040
<v Speaker 5>and Casey worked for me yesterday in San Francisco. But

111
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:48.439
<v Speaker 5>the rest of it is to me personally.

112
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:50.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to sound old fashioned missus Lebarb.

113
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:51.959
<v Speaker 6>But what about my husband?

114
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:52.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

115
00:05:52.399 --> 00:05:55.399
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that was a mistake. I couldn't live with one thing.

116
00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:57.639
<v Speaker 5>I can't Stan Marlow was being lied to. It leaves

117
00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:02.079
<v Speaker 5>me vindictive. I'm suing for divorce right now. Vince lebar

118
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:05.199
<v Speaker 5>is a human elite, just cold and spineless and parasitic

119
00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:05.959
<v Speaker 5>is the real thing.

120
00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but why would your hitting your husband put a

121
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.959
<v Speaker 2>woman in slice on your trail. I don't know, all right, Terry,

122
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:14.319
<v Speaker 2>I'll worry about that too. Any idea where I can start?

123
00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:17.279
<v Speaker 5>Just one? I pulled a switch on her yesterday model

124
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:19.600
<v Speaker 5>for about an hour. I traveled to the corner of

125
00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:22.319
<v Speaker 5>Wilshire and Losienagether and lost her in traffic. There are

126
00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:25.399
<v Speaker 5>several dancing schools around there. Is that worth anything?

127
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Maybe? What kind of car was she driving?

128
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.600
<v Speaker 5>We were both walking. She's tall and brunette, and I've

129
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:33.240
<v Speaker 5>seen todes with nicer eyes.

130
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:34.839
<v Speaker 2>Can't guarantee anything.

131
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:38.800
<v Speaker 5>I'll keep my fingers crossed. Marlow here take the hundred

132
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:40.879
<v Speaker 5>do which you can report to me at my place.

133
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:42.319
<v Speaker 6>Two or four Beechwood Circle.

134
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:47.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, pardon, share your drinks? Oh thanks here, Thank you, sir,

135
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:51.199
<v Speaker 2>to your success private dependent, see your health silk merchant

136
00:06:51.639 --> 00:07:01.800
<v Speaker 2>drink cording. Slugging it down was no way to treat

137
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:04.560
<v Speaker 2>a good dry martini, but I figured it was time.

138
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:07.079
<v Speaker 2>I was on my way. I drove out the Wheelshare

139
00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.079
<v Speaker 2>in Losienegas and slowed down enough to look at all

140
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:12.040
<v Speaker 2>four corners. It was a drug store with a specialized

141
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.680
<v Speaker 2>garbage cans to drive in called Scutties. A branch to

142
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:17.800
<v Speaker 2>the Bank of Los Angeles and the flying red Horse

143
00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.879
<v Speaker 2>over a mobile gas station. I drove on again. When

144
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:22.759
<v Speaker 2>I spotted a pair of black slacks going into a

145
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:26.839
<v Speaker 2>dancing studio, I half blocked down. It looked like a lead.

146
00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.360
<v Speaker 2>But after two hours of staring at knobby knees and

147
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:32.800
<v Speaker 2>shorts and bulging hips and bloomers, all knocking themselves out

148
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:36.040
<v Speaker 2>for a mythical cleek lighted future, I was finally convinced

149
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:38.600
<v Speaker 2>that it was a dead end. Now. I got back

150
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:40.279
<v Speaker 2>into my car and headed up into the hills for

151
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.199
<v Speaker 2>Beechwood Circle in the slim hope that Terry could give

152
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.079
<v Speaker 2>me something more to go on. Her house at two

153
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.879
<v Speaker 2>o four was low and dainty and half hidden behind

154
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:52.720
<v Speaker 2>the tough, slender grace of a bamboo grove. The walk

155
00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:54.920
<v Speaker 2>was guarded by a white marble Lion of Korea in

156
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:57.560
<v Speaker 2>the front door. When I finally found it turned out

157
00:07:57.560 --> 00:07:59.439
<v Speaker 2>to be a sliding panel in a wall of oriental

158
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.839
<v Speaker 2>lettice work. As the door slid open, I was looking

159
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:05.720
<v Speaker 2>down the barrel of a snub nosed pistol felt very

160
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:08.519
<v Speaker 2>steady in the hands of a heart eyed brunette in

161
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:09.959
<v Speaker 2>a pair of black slacks.

162
00:08:10.360 --> 00:08:12.360
<v Speaker 7>You've been looking high and low for me. Haven't your

163
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:15.360
<v Speaker 7>peeper ever since you left that day? I might have been,

164
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:16.800
<v Speaker 7>You're not the brightest.

165
00:08:16.480 --> 00:08:17.199
<v Speaker 6>Character in the world.

166
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:19.120
<v Speaker 7>In spite of what you and your friends think.

167
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:21.319
<v Speaker 6>I spotted your car when she got in.

168
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:25.040
<v Speaker 7>It wasn't too tough to tag, where's Terry sleeping off

169
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:26.279
<v Speaker 7>a hangover from better day?

170
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:27.399
<v Speaker 2>To get the chatter? Where is she?

171
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:30.839
<v Speaker 7>Come on in and look? And that's no suggestion, sailor

172
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:33.679
<v Speaker 7>as an order. Move over there to the top.

173
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:34.080
<v Speaker 6>Of the stage.

174
00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:37.159
<v Speaker 2>Sure, that's a good snot.

175
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:38.159
<v Speaker 6>Boy, you're late.

176
00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:40.600
<v Speaker 5>You know I got what I came for, and now

177
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:41.279
<v Speaker 5>I'm in a hurry.

178
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:53.639
<v Speaker 2>Turn around looks oh oh? There were ten stairs down

179
00:08:53.639 --> 00:08:56.600
<v Speaker 2>to the basement, and with a chivalry and forced by

180
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:59.360
<v Speaker 2>the forty five, I hit all with the first three.

181
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:01.759
<v Speaker 2>By the time I worked all the kingshout and was

182
00:09:01.799 --> 00:09:05.399
<v Speaker 2>back upstairs again, she was gone. I started through the house,

183
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:07.840
<v Speaker 2>then slowly from one room to another, turning on lights

184
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:09.440
<v Speaker 2>as I went looking for I knew it was going

185
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:12.240
<v Speaker 2>to be a very sick plant. Well. I got as

186
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.039
<v Speaker 2>far as the study, where somebody had gone through the

187
00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:17.000
<v Speaker 2>desk draws with what must have been a snowplow, and

188
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:20.279
<v Speaker 2>I still hadn't found Terry. I got that number feeling

189
00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:23.360
<v Speaker 2>in my stomach. I started out a side door that

190
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:26.559
<v Speaker 2>opened into the patio, but then I heard a whistle

191
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:29.240
<v Speaker 2>from the front walk. I cut back through the house

192
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:34.320
<v Speaker 2>instead and waited near the door. Erry, Hey, Derry, can

193
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:38.759
<v Speaker 2>I come in this little Joe the Fresco kid? What

194
00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:43.799
<v Speaker 2>happened your weekend trip? Honeia? Who are you? What do

195
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:47.120
<v Speaker 2>you want? Hi? Temple? How do you know me? Missus

196
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:49.679
<v Speaker 2>Lebbar hired me today just after she canceled the weekend.

197
00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:51.679
<v Speaker 2>She gave me a rundown. You hired you? What do

198
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:54.840
<v Speaker 2>you mean? I'm a private detective named Mallow. Why would

199
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:57.000
<v Speaker 2>she hire you? Because she was being followed by a

200
00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:58.799
<v Speaker 2>brunette and slack. She didn't like it. And that's all

201
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:02.759
<v Speaker 2>the information you're going to get. Relax, you say, Terry,

202
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:06.960
<v Speaker 2>isn't here, isn't home? Not so far? No man? Back

203
00:10:06.960 --> 00:10:08.360
<v Speaker 2>here to the study, Temple. I want you to look

204
00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:13.440
<v Speaker 2>at Temple. Somebody's gone through the desk in an awful hurry. Yeah, yeah,

205
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:15.360
<v Speaker 2>I see what you mean. Maybe you know something about

206
00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:18.080
<v Speaker 2>what's missing. Huh. You and missus Leabar were fairly close

207
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:21.799
<v Speaker 2>when I'm told the letters. The letters are gone. Terry

208
00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:25.360
<v Speaker 2>kept my letters in this bottom drawer. By the way, Temple,

209
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:26.960
<v Speaker 2>where's your sidekick Colin Casey?

210
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:27.679
<v Speaker 8>I don't know.

211
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:31.720
<v Speaker 9>We both left San Francisco yesterday. He hates to fly,

212
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:34.000
<v Speaker 9>so I assume he took a train. He ought to

213
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:37.200
<v Speaker 9>be here in La Now. Well, you don't think Casey's

214
00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:37.720
<v Speaker 9>mixed up in.

215
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:38.960
<v Speaker 2>This, do you. I don't know.

216
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:42.399
<v Speaker 10>It could be Vince Lebar. That's who it was that

217
00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:45.279
<v Speaker 10>got those letters. It was Vince Lebar. They were really

218
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:48.360
<v Speaker 10>love letters. The business part was nothing. And Lebar is

219
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.399
<v Speaker 10>the dog in the manger kind of guy who wants

220
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:53.480
<v Speaker 10>everyone to be unhappy. If he had it's that fits Temple.

221
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:55.799
<v Speaker 2>With a smart lawyer, your letters to Terry becomes great

222
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:59.039
<v Speaker 2>a material for a counter suit for divorce. Sure he

223
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:00.960
<v Speaker 2>could make it stick and to get a fat settlement

224
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:04.720
<v Speaker 2>at a community property laws. And listen, here's what you doll.

00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Through right now, Laby, you're too dumb to see it.

303
00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Go on clear over the.

304
00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:09.679
<v Speaker 8>Rail, your back to me, seven floors down, marlow to

305
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:25.320
<v Speaker 8>a concrete driveway, just in case you get jumpy.

306
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:28.480
<v Speaker 3>In just a moment, the second act of Philip marlow

307
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.440
<v Speaker 3>But first, most people like to know what to expect.

308
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:33.960
<v Speaker 3>But on at least one CBS show, a great part

309
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:35.960
<v Speaker 3>of the fun is in what turns up on the

310
00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.039
<v Speaker 3>spur of the moment. That show is Groucho Marks Great

311
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:42.120
<v Speaker 3>Quiz You Bet Your Life, heard every Wednesday Night on

312
00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:46.519
<v Speaker 3>most of the same CBS stations. Now with our star

313
00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:49.200
<v Speaker 3>Gerald Moore, we returned to the second act of Philip

314
00:15:49.200 --> 00:16:01.759
<v Speaker 3>Marlowe and tonight's story The Vital Statistic, the.

315
00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:04.080
<v Speaker 2>Moment Vince Lebar and the courage Caliber thirty two we

316
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:06.120
<v Speaker 2>held in his right hand made it out of the apopment.

317
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:08.480
<v Speaker 2>On the run for the elevator. I kicked through the

318
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:11.279
<v Speaker 2>plate glass door, and I spent the next two minutes

319
00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:15.080
<v Speaker 2>ultimately swearing, straining, and nicking myself while I played contortionist

320
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:17.919
<v Speaker 2>in and out of the fancy snake grill work in

321
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:21.559
<v Speaker 2>my wrought iron cage, until finally I reached the inside hand.

322
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:24.200
<v Speaker 2>I was free out and over to the telephone in

323
00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:26.840
<v Speaker 2>a big hurry, because for my money, the icing on

324
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:29.879
<v Speaker 2>Labar's voice left Joe Temple someplace on the short side.

325
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:35.639
<v Speaker 2>What the life insurance people call good risk? Hello, Marlow

326
00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Temple listened hard. Your life's in danger? What Leabar? You

327
00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:41.039
<v Speaker 2>had him tagged from the first after those letters? All right?

328
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:42.960
<v Speaker 2>But what about the girl in swat Well? I think

329
00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:44.600
<v Speaker 2>she might have a connection with a drive in on

330
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Wilshore and Losienego, a place called Scotty's In. I'm gonna

331
00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:49.679
<v Speaker 2>check it now. Tell me any word from Terry's muscle

332
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:51.919
<v Speaker 2>man yet? Yeah, oh nothing, Marlow?

333
00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:53.600
<v Speaker 11>But look, can I meet you and talking?

334
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:55.480
<v Speaker 2>No? No, Vince Lebar had a gun and a short

335
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:57.879
<v Speaker 2>tempa when he left here. I think it's working easier.

336
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Just hey, waye from open windows temple. I'll caught you.

337

338
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:10.680
<v Speaker 2>the finest California tradition. A mammoth circle of steel and

339
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:14.640
<v Speaker 2>the glass painted a dazzling yellow and blue, surrounded by

340
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:18.319
<v Speaker 2>a half a dozen cars containing teenaged couples with smudged

341
00:17:18.319 --> 00:17:21.400
<v Speaker 2>lipstack and the giggles. The second after I pulled in

342
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:24.119
<v Speaker 2>and parked something in slacks with false eyelashes, a waist

343
00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:26.880
<v Speaker 2>you could span with a handcuff, and a fixed front

344
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.000
<v Speaker 2>line chorus girls smiled with the cord mark ginger against

345
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:32.559
<v Speaker 2>my wind shoe, handed me a menu that still had

346
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:35.039
<v Speaker 2>the froth from an earlier customer's milkshake in one corner.

00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:45.039
<v Speaker 2>I will stay out of a ginger. It definitely double

377
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:47.400
<v Speaker 2>talk with the effect was what I wanted. Ginger with

378
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:49.759
<v Speaker 2>mouth wide open and staring after me like my ears

379
00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:52.480
<v Speaker 2>were on backward. That way, she might be scared out

380
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:55.119
<v Speaker 2>of making a simple curiosity spike telephone call in the

381
00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:59.079
<v Speaker 2>popular roads for setacase would trumpet my arrab loud, clear

382
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:02.640
<v Speaker 2>and prematurely. Ten minutes later, I was poked away from

383
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:05.920
<v Speaker 2>number twenty eight, twenty four, Havenhurst. As I got out

384
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:08.000
<v Speaker 2>of my car and started to taut the place, I

385
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:10.480
<v Speaker 2>found Vince Labar's green sedan on the opposite side of

386
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:13.039
<v Speaker 2>the street and carefully tucked into the shadows of a

387
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:16.319
<v Speaker 2>pair of long head taper tries. It was a good

388
00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:18.799
<v Speaker 2>time for me to be careful. So when I knocked

389
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:20.640
<v Speaker 2>on the front door, which showed yellow light at the

390
00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:23.400
<v Speaker 2>threshold and with the starting point for something not too

391
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:25.839
<v Speaker 2>close to music, I did it with the butt end

392
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:30.599
<v Speaker 2>of my thirty eighty Yeah is it ziggy front of Ginger's.

410
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:28.079
<v Speaker 2>getting ready to run because you killed Terry and you'd

411
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:30.240
<v Speaker 2>rather not be around for the question and answer period. Right,

412
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:31.079
<v Speaker 2>I didn't kill her.

413
00:20:31.079 --> 00:20:32.759
<v Speaker 6>I just knocked it down.

414
00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:37.039
<v Speaker 2>No, you didn't kill it. He just slowed down, a

415
00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:40.359
<v Speaker 2>breathing somewhat with a pajama sash. You're wrong, copper, right,

442
00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:55.839
<v Speaker 2>Temple needs my help a lot more than you do.

443
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:05.400
<v Speaker 2>The home address Temple had given me turned out to

444
00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:07.359
<v Speaker 2>be lights in a quiet house on a quiet street

445
00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:09.839
<v Speaker 2>named Marlboro. I was there, out of my car and

446
00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:14.960
<v Speaker 2>running for the front door when they came. I chucked

447
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:16.480
<v Speaker 2>my gun out of the holes that got close into

448
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:18.000
<v Speaker 2>the building and moved up until I was on the

449
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:20.960
<v Speaker 2>line with a pair of half open patio doors. And

450
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:23.839
<v Speaker 2>I saw something I hadn't expected. On the floor that

451
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:25.839
<v Speaker 2>was littered with the broken lamb, pieces of oas and

452
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:31.920
<v Speaker 2>overturned furniture was Vince Laba, doubled up dead and standing

453
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:33.759
<v Speaker 2>over him, his face the color of soft cement of

454
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:36.400
<v Speaker 2>thirty two dangling and his limp right hand was Joe Temple.

455
00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:38.880
<v Speaker 2>When he saw me, he tried to talk with the

456
00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:41.799
<v Speaker 2>words jammed in his throat. When I stepped into the room,

457
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:45.960
<v Speaker 2>he began to tremble. Oh, I shot him. I couldn't

458
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:47.720
<v Speaker 2>help it. He was going to down Temple. Get hold

459
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:50.519
<v Speaker 2>of yourself. Got any brandy around over on that table

460
00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:53.160
<v Speaker 2>near the phone. Yeah, he was out of his mind,

461
00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:55.759
<v Speaker 2>an absolute mania. He said he was going to kill me.

462
00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:57.400
<v Speaker 2>They lunched for him. There was a fight, and you

463
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:00.799
<v Speaker 2>came up with a gun. Huh. Started from me again.

464
00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:03.319
<v Speaker 2>I pulled the trigger, and then I did it again

465
00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:04.200
<v Speaker 2>a third time.

466
00:23:04.279 --> 00:23:04.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

467
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:10.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, think this. He brought the letters back, Marlowe. They're

468
00:23:10.599 --> 00:23:12.119
<v Speaker 2>inside on the floor where he threw them.

469
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:14.720
<v Speaker 9>He said they didn't mean anything anymore, that he and

470
00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:16.359
<v Speaker 9>that girl in the slacks had taken.

471
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:19.279
<v Speaker 2>Care of Terry Temples. He seemed to go crazy.

472
00:23:19.599 --> 00:23:21.480
<v Speaker 9>He said I was a wife steamer, the cause of

473
00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:23.200
<v Speaker 9>his trouble, and then I deserved death.

474
00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Well that's what I dumped at him. It was terrible,

475
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:30.599
<v Speaker 2>marlow Yeah. Well, between the two of us, we've just

476
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:33.160
<v Speaker 2>about got all the answers, which is usually a good

477
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:35.559
<v Speaker 2>time to call the police. What do you mean just

478
00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:38.680
<v Speaker 2>about got all the answers, Marlow? What else is there?

479
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:41.920
<v Speaker 2>Jess Freeman, the guy Lieutenant Matthews told us about when

480
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:44.039
<v Speaker 2>we were over at Terry's place. Remember, Oh, yes, that

481
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:47.440
<v Speaker 2>traffic crash and Empire oreicon. But why should that figure

482
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:51.279
<v Speaker 2>in this, Marlow? It shouldn't, but I think it does,

483
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Marlow Matthews. Another dead one on the Terry Lebar case.

484
00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:02.119
<v Speaker 2>Vince Lebara husband. He was shot, Yeah, a guy named

485
00:24:02.160 --> 00:24:06.559
<v Speaker 2>Joe Temple. It was self defense. We're coming in, Matthews.

486
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:10.079
<v Speaker 2>I'll take that gun. Temple, you get the letters. Let's go,

487
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:21.519
<v Speaker 2>and we got into my car and started downtown. Temple

488
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:25.559
<v Speaker 2>was more relaxed, and he talked easily until we passed

489
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Vince Lava's sparkling green sedan parked the block away, once

490
00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:34.640
<v Speaker 2>again close into the shadows and once again empty realm.

491
00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:37.480
<v Speaker 2>The sight of it closed him up tight for the

492
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.319
<v Speaker 2>rest of the trip. When we walked into police headquarters

493
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:43.359
<v Speaker 2>and through the quarter of a mile of glossy carter

494
00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:46.680
<v Speaker 2>leading to the door mark homicide, he didn't open up

495
00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:50.759
<v Speaker 2>any But it didn't matter really, because it's police rule

496
00:24:50.839 --> 00:24:52.519
<v Speaker 2>never to talk to two men about the same thing

497
00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:57.119
<v Speaker 2>at the same time. I was first. Matthews said hello

498
00:24:57.240 --> 00:24:59.799
<v Speaker 2>without shaking hands, waved me into an uncomfortable seat, and

499
00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:02.640
<v Speaker 2>then with his pipe, well, I brought him up to

500
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:04.640
<v Speaker 2>date and it was his turn.

501
00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:07.920
<v Speaker 4>The Rose Faceta killed Terry Labar so that she could

502
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:11.240
<v Speaker 4>get the letters Joe Temple had written. Did this so

503
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:13.519
<v Speaker 4>that her boyfriend, Vince Labar could raise a lot of

504
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:16.119
<v Speaker 4>fuss in divorce court with the letters, file a counter suit,

505
00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:16.880
<v Speaker 4>that kind of stuff.

506
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:17.880
<v Speaker 2>That's the whole deal.

507
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:19.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, with Temple making it a double ahead of by

508
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:21.599
<v Speaker 4>shooting Vince from Vince came to kill him.

509
00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:25.519
<v Speaker 2>That's it, Matthews. If you believe Temple, huh. And if

510
00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:28.720
<v Speaker 2>Temple hadn't slipped, Now, what are you getting at, Phil?

511
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:30.880
<v Speaker 2>When I was on the phone with you earlier at night,

512
00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:32.920
<v Speaker 2>you asked me if Temple or I knew anything about it.

513
00:25:33.000 --> 00:25:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Jess Freeman was killed in a traffic accident and Empire, Oregon, right, right,

514
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:39.599
<v Speaker 2>But you didn't no, no, nor did I mention the

515
00:25:39.640 --> 00:25:43.160
<v Speaker 2>town of Empire. It's a Temple. Get a half hour ago,

516
00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:45.480
<v Speaker 2>just before I called you, Temple came up with that name.

517
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:51.200
<v Speaker 4>Oh, then Molly, hold my calls, Mooney, Molly, I mean

518
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:53.960
<v Speaker 4>that Joe Temple killed Terry lebar Rose.

519
00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:56.200
<v Speaker 2>Just knocked her out and got the letters. Temple strangled

520
00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:58.599
<v Speaker 2>while she was still unconscious. But why because a guy

521
00:25:58.720 --> 00:26:01.440
<v Speaker 2>identified as Jess Freeman himself killed in a traffic accident.

522
00:26:01.519 --> 00:26:04.039
<v Speaker 2>So a guy who I think was actually Holland Casey,

523
00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Terry's two fisted assistant, together with Joe Temple, was crossing

524
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:10.119
<v Speaker 2>the boss Lager and that left Temple in a very

525
00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:12.640
<v Speaker 2>hot spot save himself. He had a kill. Can you

526
00:26:12.680 --> 00:26:16.599
<v Speaker 2>approve all this mode No, not a word of it.

527
00:26:16.599 --> 00:26:19.640
<v Speaker 2>It's a conjecture, but conjecture that fits Matthews. When Temple

528
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:21.920
<v Speaker 2>found Terry unconscious in the gard and that was his chance,

529
00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:25.279
<v Speaker 2>he took her. Look, Phil, Phil, you're guessing at night? Sure, sure,

530
00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:28.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm guessing, but not in the dock. I know how

531
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:30.039
<v Speaker 2>these guys think an act. I've done too many cases

532
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:31.319
<v Speaker 2>not to know. And I listen for a minute, WILLI

533
00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:36.319
<v Speaker 2>your Matthews? All right? Look, Temple had to get those

534
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:39.079
<v Speaker 2>letters back, right, the last one in particular, because in

535
00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:40.720
<v Speaker 2>the last one, this is the way it's got a figure.

536
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:43.119
<v Speaker 2>He had lied to Terry about being in San Francisco

537
00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:46.519
<v Speaker 2>with Casey yesterday when actually Casey was an Empire Oregon.

538
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:48.960
<v Speaker 2>When Casey was killed up there, the fact was bound

539
00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:51.559
<v Speaker 2>to come out. Yeah, it's it's a good run. You

540
00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:56.039
<v Speaker 2>let me finish, please, all right, finish. Temple knew Terry

541
00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:58.279
<v Speaker 2>would find out. He knew that she couldn't stand a

542
00:26:58.359 --> 00:27:00.720
<v Speaker 2>liar and a partner who double cross it. Temple knew

543
00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:02.119
<v Speaker 2>that she'd get him and ruin him if it took

544
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:03.839
<v Speaker 2>up the rest of her life. So he came back

545
00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:05.680
<v Speaker 2>to get the letter before she could read it. But

546
00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:09.240
<v Speaker 2>she hadn't left Towna's plan, ironically enough, because she didn't

547
00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:10.319
<v Speaker 2>want to miss one of his letters.

548
00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:12.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but look, I'm a policeman still, I got a hat,

549
00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:14.160
<v Speaker 4>all right, all right, you're the policeman.

550
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:17.079
<v Speaker 2>You got labs and technicians. You'll get the facts, and

551
00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:20.240
<v Speaker 2>I'll bet you figures, just like I said. Okay, Phil, okay.

552
00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:23.400
<v Speaker 2>And another thing, Matthews. But when you talk to Temple

553
00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:25.119
<v Speaker 2>who's holding the packet of letters now like a real

554
00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:27.680
<v Speaker 2>good boy, Yeah, you'll find the last one missing. It'll

555
00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:30.279
<v Speaker 2>be in his pocket. I'll bet you on that. I'll

556
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:31.440
<v Speaker 2>let her to do it. Lieutenant.

557
00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:35.559
<v Speaker 4>There was one exception, Phil, How did Temple maneuver all

558
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:38.519
<v Speaker 4>this getting the letters from Rose, paset it then setting

559
00:27:38.599 --> 00:27:39.720
<v Speaker 4>up at self defense deal?

560
00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:42.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, but my guess is that Vince got

561
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:45.079
<v Speaker 2>the letters from Rose just before I arrived at her place.

562
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:47.640
<v Speaker 4>But when he got into his car, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

563
00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:50.000
<v Speaker 4>Temple was waiting, slugged him, drove back to his own house,

564
00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:51.599
<v Speaker 4>dropped the body in the living room, shot him when

565
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:51.920
<v Speaker 4>he heard you.

566
00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:54.559
<v Speaker 2>Coming, something like that. Man. See if you can't get

567
00:27:54.559 --> 00:27:57.279
<v Speaker 2>it out that way, Oh, no worry, Phil, if it's true,

568
00:27:57.400 --> 00:27:58.920
<v Speaker 2>we'll get it out. It'll be true.

569
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:00.400
<v Speaker 11>Oh.

570
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Now, would you ask mister Temple to come in, please,

571
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:07.319
<v Speaker 2>mister Mullow, I'll be glad to Lieutenant, say Temple. Lieutenant

572
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:08.359
<v Speaker 2>like to see him, all.

573
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:11.160
<v Speaker 9>Right, Marlowe, I think I can speak coherently now.

574
00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:14.599
<v Speaker 2>Good. Good. They like to get the facts straight in there.

575
00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:18.920
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, Yes, of course, good night, marlow and thanks

576
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:23.920
<v Speaker 2>for your help. Oh good evening, mister Temple. Sit down

577
00:28:25.079 --> 00:28:43.160
<v Speaker 2>and stop talking. When I got into my car, the

578
00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:45.960
<v Speaker 2>new day was starting to push the black out of

579
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:50.640
<v Speaker 2>the sky, and the early morning air smelled fresh and

580
00:28:50.880 --> 00:28:55.839
<v Speaker 2>cool and clean. Yeah, the whole night had been confused

581
00:28:55.880 --> 00:28:59.799
<v Speaker 2>and complicated, but I knew that by the time Matthews

582
00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:06.039
<v Speaker 2>miss with Temple, there'd be no questions left unanswered. That'd

583
00:29:06.079 --> 00:29:08.640
<v Speaker 2>be great, wouldn't it if everything could be that way,

584
00:29:09.880 --> 00:29:11.519
<v Speaker 2>no questions left unanswered.

614
00:31:44.440 --> 00:31:47.039
<v Speaker 13>the great detectives of old time Radio with Adam Graham.

615
00:31:47.440 --> 00:31:49.160
<v Speaker 13>And now let's get back into the show.

616
00:31:54.440 --> 00:31:59.799
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back, Well, I somewhat more sedate reveal of the

617
00:32:00.440 --> 00:32:03.960
<v Speaker 1>murderer in some ways makes a lot more sense than

618
00:32:04.599 --> 00:32:09.359
<v Speaker 1>usual when Marlow will reveal what he knows or you know,

619
00:32:09.559 --> 00:32:13.039
<v Speaker 1>not just Marlow, but they're a wide variety of different

620
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:16.039
<v Speaker 1>detectives who will basically tell what they know and put

621
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:19.480
<v Speaker 1>their lives in peril. Marlow really does the smart thing,

622
00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:22.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, just pretends that he's totally been taken in

623
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:26.079
<v Speaker 1>and then once he gets into headquarters, then he reveals

624
00:32:26.160 --> 00:32:29.960
<v Speaker 1>to the police that he's actually wise to what's going on.

625
00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:32.240
<v Speaker 1>But at any rate, that will do it for today.

626
00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:35.799
<v Speaker 1>Join us back here tomorrow for an episode of Nick Carter,

627
00:32:35.960 --> 00:32:39.160
<v Speaker 1>and next Wednesday, it's another episode of the Adventures of

628
