Speaker 1: Well, anyway, I learned the answer to the question what
Speaker 1: does a doctor do when a doctor needs a doctor.
Speaker 2: This is another and the adventures of America's fabulous freelance
Speaker 2: insurance investigator Johnny Dollar. At insurance investigations, Johnny Dollar is
Speaker 2: only an expert at making out his expense account, He's
Speaker 2: an absolute genius.
Speaker 1: Expense accounts submitted by special investigator Johnny Dollar to American
Speaker 1: Volunteer Liability Insurance Company Hartford Connecticuts, Attention Homer Shelley, General Managers.
Speaker 1: The following is an accounting of my expenditures during my
Speaker 1: investigation of one of your policyholders, doctor Otto, Schmedlick an Apple.
Speaker 1: A days sent the doctor away, or it couldn't have
Speaker 1: happened to a bigger worm. Spense account item one eighty
Speaker 1: cents cab fare to your office and answer to your call.
Speaker 1: Tip the driver one dollar. Oh morning's dollars? Yah? Nice sir,
Speaker 1: Good morning dollar, Good morning, thank you.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry we had that unfortunate ovacation over the last
Speaker 3: expense account.
Speaker 4: You submitted to this office.
Speaker 1: Oh that's all right.
Speaker 4: It was ridiculous.
Speaker 3: You're going around tipping cab drivers a dollar after a
Speaker 3: fifty cent trip.
Speaker 1: Well, you know me, Homer, just a silly, headstrong, impetuous boy.
Speaker 3: It is somebody else's money.
Speaker 4: Yes, we've been through all that.
Speaker 3: What I want to talk to you now is a
Speaker 3: oh yeah, oh, doctor Otto Schmidlick, Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: California, California. Doesn't anything ever happen at Hartford. I've been
Speaker 1: using an airplane's seat else so much lately, I'm about
Speaker 1: ready to throw away my suspendeds.
Speaker 3: Doctor Ada Schmedley. I suppose you're familiar with the existence
Speaker 3: of that tackle of insurance policy which protects doctors against
Speaker 3: charges of malpractice.
Speaker 1: I've heard of them.
Speaker 3: Well, we had the rare misfortune of issuing such a
Speaker 3: policy to this this quack sch Medlick.
Speaker 1: Well, what do you want me to do? Go out
Speaker 1: and take his temperature and dollar.
Speaker 3: When I want to laugh, I tune in Jack Benny. Now,
Speaker 3: this is serious. The policy we issued the doctor Schmidlick
Speaker 3: only covers him up to the extent of what is
Speaker 3: construed as accidental malpractice. If we can prove criminal malpractice,
Speaker 3: we can cancel this chunital's policy.
Speaker 1: Do you have a good reason to think it's criminal
Speaker 1: or are you just toying with happy thought?
Speaker 5: Look.
Speaker 3: Our company has already paid off on two claims.
Speaker 4: Recently, we've heard rumors about this man.
Speaker 3: It seems the Medical Association is watching him very closely,
Speaker 3: but so far no one can prove anything. Dollar.
Speaker 4: Do you want the assignment?
Speaker 1: No, what I'll take it expens accounts Item two one

Speaker 1: five cents eleven Nichols spent telephoning the Schmidlick office at
Speaker 1: fifteen minute intervals until I at last found the doctor
Speaker 1: not in in California. The doctors really specialize, and the
Speaker 1: buildings they work in sometimes really make the most of it.
Speaker 1: As I found out in the elevator going.
Speaker 6: Up second floor, I ear nose and throw doctor's care crider, whitis,

Speaker 1: Would all these medical terms you just tossed off, by
Speaker 1: any chance, means that we have now arrived in the
Speaker 1: land of the mechanized store, to put it crudely, Yes,
Speaker 1: thank you, Jack Armstrong and the Hello doctor Schmidliken. No,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm good. I mean that's too bad.
Speaker 5: Just what do you mean?
Speaker 1: Well, I meant to say that. Well, since the doctor isn't,
Speaker 1: I I mean I'm gonna talk to you anyway, felt
Speaker 1: I should be. I'm a girl. Now.
Speaker 5: Is there something I can help you with?
Speaker 1: Yes, as a matter of fact, you can. I have
Speaker 1: sort of empty feeling around my heart. How would you
Speaker 1: prescribe by cob minisoda? Is that all? Cuche? Now? I
Speaker 1: have an empty feeling around my head? Please?
Speaker 5: Will you state your business?
Speaker 1: No, honey, you should know that anybody who walks into
Speaker 1: a doctor's office wants to live. I'd have to seeing you.
Speaker 1: I really want to live. What are you doing tonight?
Speaker 1: I am not in the habit of making dates with
Speaker 1: strange men. And furthermore, the most insufferable ecotistics. A chance, darling.
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll be able to prove you.
Speaker 5: But I wouldn't be caught dead.
Speaker 1: Like that.
Speaker 5: This is the first time I've ever tasted champagne.
Speaker 1: Good old champagne. A rich people seven up well is
Speaker 1: to us to us, Darena, I feel like talking well,
Speaker 1: thanks for putting me on God listening to you can
Speaker 1: do strange things to a girl. I want you to
Speaker 1: know more about me. I'm an insurance man. I didn't
Speaker 1: go up to your office hoping to see the doctor.
Speaker 1: I wanted to see his nurse.
Speaker 2: You why, Johnny Dollar, if you try to sell.
Speaker 1: Me, oh hey, you no, wait a minute, hear me out.
Speaker 1: You can probably guess it's getting bleached out trying to
Speaker 1: sell insurances days more than anything else. A guy needs
Speaker 1: a new angle, and I've got one. People who go
Speaker 1: to doctors, they're worried about their health. Now, people who
Speaker 1: are worried about their health, they're worried about the security
Speaker 1: of their families. So they become good prospects for insurance policies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but at the same time, are they also bad risk?
Speaker 1: A lot of them all, Yeah, but they can't pass
Speaker 1: the insurance physical, but there are plenty of others you
Speaker 1: should know the figures proved there as many healthy people
Speaker 1: go to doctors as do unhealthy. Perhaps the most popular
Speaker 1: disease in America is hypochondria, and the national headquarters seems
Speaker 1: to be located right here in Los Angeles. And from me,
Speaker 1: you want a list of doctor Schmdlick's patience, Smart girl,
Speaker 1: smart boy. Spenser accounts Item five a dollar forty cab
Speaker 1: fare to Doreen's apartments, where I told the driver to wait.
Speaker 1: Expense accounts same item, Part two, twenty eight dollars eating
Speaker 1: time before I took the cab the rest of the
Speaker 1: way back to my hotel. Spencer counts. Item six breakfast
Speaker 1: the next morning, two hard earned dollars for two soft
Speaker 1: boiled eggs. The hand that laid them must do barnyard
Speaker 1: bits in the movies. At least at those prices, she
Speaker 1: could have auto grabbed them. At nine thirty, I was
Speaker 1: right on time for my morning appointment with Doreen to
Speaker 1: pick up the list of doctor Schmidlick's patience a half
Speaker 1: hour before the doctor was due to a rise. Well, Johnny,
Speaker 1: for a man who stayed up so late, you're very punch.
Speaker 1: Oh that's me, the early worm who so often gets
Speaker 1: the bird. You got a copy of the list, yeah,
Speaker 1: got heard to type it. It is, so, this is wonderful.
Speaker 1: You're a dial Yeah, a a Aaron's. He'd make the
Speaker 1: top of any alphabetical list. Look, this is a selfish
Speaker 1: way of saying thanks, because I'll enjoy it more than
Speaker 1: you will. But dinner at Romanostolone, I love it.
Speaker 5: Good good Oh, good morning.
Speaker 4: Oh it's patience already.
Speaker 1: Yes, doctor d Doll, he's out of town. Good morning.
Speaker 4: Well all right, what's the metal of view?
Speaker 1: Oh it's it's really nothing.
Speaker 5: Let me be the judge of set.
Speaker 4: I will make the diagnosis. I will see you in
Speaker 4: the moment.
Speaker 1: Johnny, I don't know what happened. He's never come in
Speaker 1: this early before. Oh mind, lad, But I wish you
Speaker 1: hadn't made a pasion. I just had to say something.
Speaker 1: He wants to know about everybody who comes in here. Johnny,
Speaker 1: you'll just have to go through with it. We can't
Speaker 1: really know about the lip. Okay, okay, but what's this
Speaker 1: going to cost me? What does the old squarehead get
Speaker 1: for a checkup? Fifty dollars consultation? Oh, honey, instead of
Speaker 1: Romano's for dinner tonight. We better make it a drive in. Sorry, Johnny,
Speaker 1: I am you can come in with the d doctor.
Speaker 1: The name is Dollar.
Speaker 4: Oh yes, yes, I forget. I have so many cases
Speaker 4: on my mind. No, if you will be so good
Speaker 4: to slip off your jacket and your shirt. But I thought,
Speaker 4: and what is the nature of your complaint?
Speaker 1: Well, uh, on my back. See I was in a
Speaker 1: small automobile crack up driving out here.
Speaker 4: No, it's a dangerous, complicated area at the back. No,
Speaker 4: you'll be so good to get up on the table
Speaker 4: and lie dumb Now, I'm your stomach the feet down here, please,
Speaker 4: that's good. No, I tapped your back when I reached
Speaker 4: a painful area.
Speaker 1: Please to tell me. Yes, doctor, Oh, but they will
Speaker 1: muscle to mister Dulla, No bruises strange. Oh oh here
Speaker 1: it is ah, not dangerous to me.
Speaker 4: It's spine, but not interesting. Yeah, I think this will help.
Speaker 1: Oh. At first it felt like a big beast thing
Speaker 1: about a quarter the way up my back. Then came
Speaker 1: the buzzing inside my head. Whatever kind of liquid lullaby
Speaker 1: the good doctor sunk into my spine. It really rocked
Speaker 1: me to sleep. I had time to move my head
Speaker 1: and watch smdlick put down the hypodermic, walk across the
Speaker 1: room to my coat and take from it the lift
Speaker 1: of his patience, plus my wallet containing my identification. But
Speaker 1: I didn't give it a second thought. I didn't have
Speaker 1: time to for me. The lights went out.
Speaker 4: In just a moment.
Speaker 2: We will return to the second act of Johnny Dollar,
Speaker 2: but first assets one block of wood, liabilities, more trouble
Speaker 2: than the legendary paperhanger with the Hives. It sounds as
Speaker 2: though Edgar Bergen had a pretty bad bank balance, doesn't it.
Speaker 2: But luckily for you, he comes back week after week
Speaker 2: to the CBS studios with his block of wood named Charlie,
Speaker 2: and lets himself in for more trouble. As for you,
Speaker 2: you're really in the chips when you take in the
Speaker 2: Edgar Burgh and Charlie McCarthy show heard over most of
Speaker 2: these stations every Sunday. Don't miss their brightest, gayest show
Speaker 2: Tomorrow night on CBS where this fall you hear them all.
Speaker 1: In this ball for the show that you love the
Speaker 1: all listen careful.
Speaker 6: Hipsy Yet.
Speaker 2: Now with our star Charles Russell, we returned to the
Speaker 2: second act of yours truly, Johnny Dullar.
Speaker 1: And my racket. Sleeping on the job isn't always fun,
Speaker 1: and this was one of those times. Waking up from
Speaker 1: Doctor Schmidlick's slumber treatment for nosy people carried with it
Speaker 1: a dark brown taste in the mouth, thickness of the tongue,
Speaker 1: and big bells ringing your steeple. I was scoring on
Speaker 1: all those counts when I rolled open my eyelids, which
Speaker 1: fought me all the way. I sat up. I found
Speaker 1: myself on a hard canvas cut in a bare room
Speaker 1: with soft walls. They were patted. The window wasn't much.
Speaker 1: What there was of it was barred, so was the
Speaker 1: tiny opening and the upholstered doors. At first I thought
Speaker 1: I was going crazy. Then I realized I was in
Speaker 1: the kind of place where they put people they think
Speaker 1: they've already joined the ranks of the enchant it. It
Speaker 1: took me only ten years to make it over to
Speaker 1: the door before I looked out through the small slip. Hey, hey,
Speaker 1: come here, someone, Hey, room service, Wait a minute, I'm coming.
Speaker 5: Hold up your voices. I listen mister by singing light
Speaker 5: in here is we don't like noise makes the other patience, nervous?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, okay? Where am I? Who are you?
Speaker 5: I'm your nurse?
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, I didn't recognize you. I thought nurses were
Speaker 1: supposed to wear little caps.
Speaker 5: I got a little cap, but I don't live it
Speaker 5: in doors? It hut. Listen, you don't gonna make a
Speaker 5: fun of me. You'll be sorry.
Speaker 1: See, I'm sorry? Now? How am I getting? Anyway?
Speaker 5: All I know is this place is be a wrong
Speaker 5: good you say outside you're dangerous.
Speaker 1: You can depend on it. If I ever get out,
Speaker 1: I will be what'd you say? Nothing?
Speaker 5: H you're one of them, all right? Talking to yourself?
Speaker 1: What's your name?
Speaker 5: But it's none of your business. But I'll tell you.
Speaker 5: I don't like people calling me. Hey you, so I'll
Speaker 5: tell you. My name is Foggy.
Speaker 1: Okay, Foggy. Listen. All I want is a chance to
Speaker 1: talk to somebody who's in charge. How about it?
Speaker 5: That's easy. When your time comes, the boss will be
Speaker 5: here without no asking. You get one visit from the
Speaker 5: boss every day, just like all the others. What will
Speaker 5: that be just before supper? So why don't you go
Speaker 5: back to sleep? That won't be for four more outs?
Speaker 1: Oh dandy? Who is this boss. What's his name?
Speaker 5: The boss is not a hey, He's just a she,
Speaker 5: and her name is doctor Smith.
Speaker 1: I had four hours to think up different ways of
Speaker 1: calling myself a sucker. At the end of our number one,
Speaker 1: I ran out of fingernails. At the end of our
Speaker 1: number two, I ran out of patience. And the other
Speaker 1: two I spent devising torturous new ways of getting even
Speaker 1: with a combination that shang hired me into that fancy
Speaker 1: four walled straight jacket. They had left me only one
Speaker 1: move to make was out. I figured that the winsome
Speaker 1: doctor Doreene Smith paid me a visit. She'd come with
Speaker 1: her body, well guarded, probably by the charming, be muscled
Speaker 1: behemoth nurse Ford, who, from what I saw them through
Speaker 1: that slit in the door, was no Florence Nightingale believed
Speaker 1: me for him. I needed a club. I didn't have
Speaker 1: much to work with. The iron and canvas cart was
Speaker 1: heavily bolted to the floor, as was the only other
Speaker 1: piece of furniture in the room. It's small but sturdy table.
Speaker 1: Took off one of my shoes, ripped the heel off
Speaker 1: in an angle of the cop and looked lovingly at
Speaker 1: the shiny little nail points gleaming back at me from
Speaker 1: a solid piece of leather and the palm of my hand.
Speaker 1: I put it to work ripping a four foot square
Speaker 1: of canvas out of the cot. Then I put both
Speaker 1: of my shoes into the center of the square, picked
Speaker 1: up the corners, tied them together and close to the weight,
Speaker 1: gave it a heft, feeling that I now had at
Speaker 1: least the start of a weapon.
Speaker 5: He up.
Speaker 1: I suppose you think that's good news.
Speaker 5: He's still proppy. Don't trust him. Grab his arms when
Speaker 5: you go in and hold on. I'll go ahead, I'll follow.
Speaker 5: I'll try any tricks you won't hurt you.
Speaker 1: See hiks mercy, I wouldn't fling them clear back in here, sweetheart,
Speaker 1: Oh drop your hypodermic planning on rocking me to sleep again.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something is one squirrel that's running.
Speaker 1: Get this case. Don't rub my fur the wrong way.
Speaker 1: My headaches, I'm seeing double. My nerve ans are whipping
Speaker 1: me to dad. For two cents, i'd punched you square
Speaker 1: in the nose, because one thing for sure, you ain't
Speaker 1: no lady, sit down, stay there. When I put on
Speaker 1: what reck of my shoes you better go back to heart.
Speaker 5: Little boy doesn't speak for you.
Speaker 1: Ring around you will make anybody grow old in a hurry.
Speaker 1: What do you think you're gonna do right now? I'm
Speaker 1: gonna take your cheese, lock you in here with sleeping
Speaker 1: beauty there, and then I'm going up for a breadth
Speaker 1: of fresh air. I have fun. The two of you
Speaker 1: can make a peach of a pear. I stumbled to
Speaker 1: the rest of the building, which turned out to be
Speaker 1: nothing more than a country house. There were no other
Speaker 1: rooms like the one I had just vacated. For that matter,
Speaker 1: the would no other so called patience. It could have
Speaker 1: been a place maintained for the purpose of making people
Speaker 1: talk or keeping them from talking. There was no telephone.
Speaker 1: I couldn't call out, but not that could anybody call
Speaker 1: in the fine out that something was going wrong. This
Speaker 1: little crime crib apparently located well out in the country.
Speaker 1: That meant that doctor Dreene Smith had arrived in the car,
Speaker 1: which I commentered and drove to the nearest filling station.
Speaker 1: No longer having in my possession that list of Schmidlick's patients,
Speaker 1: I flipped through my memory and came up with a
Speaker 1: single name I had noted in his office. AA Aaron. Hello,
Speaker 1: Hello is mister a Aaron inployees? Oh good, mister Aaron.
Speaker 1: I'm representing a group of West Coast so I'm making
Speaker 1: a survey. Where do you have your prescriptions filled?
Speaker 4: Itoy Pharmacy?
Speaker 1: Oh, I see one more question, mister Aaron. I know
Speaker 1: in many cases people go to the pharmacists recommended by
Speaker 1: a doctor. Is this the case with you?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, mister a a Aaron A part of me.
Speaker 1: Mister Andoy. The clerk told me where I could find you.
Speaker 1: My name is Daller. I like to have a word
Speaker 1: with you if you are the time. On the basis
Speaker 1: of ethics, the state of California should have picked up
Speaker 1: a gentleman's pharmaceutical license and issued him a barber's permit.
Speaker 1: Mister Andoy loved to talk, and the two thousand words
Speaker 1: he threw at me during the ensuing half hour, I
Speaker 1: managed to sift the following information. Doctor Schmdlick's prescriptions were
Speaker 1: usually refillable, dangerous, and habit for me. I also managed
Speaker 1: to memorize the names of a few of his patients
Speaker 1: from the narcotics book. Well, He's tucked into a lonely
Speaker 1: corner of my cerebral cortex. I limped out into the
Speaker 1: newborn Knights SM's account on him seven fifty cent, having
Speaker 1: the missing heel on my shoe replaced by late working cobblers.
Speaker 1: Checking the owners of the first four names drew me nelling,
Speaker 1: but blanks. The fifth drew me closer. Come on in.
Speaker 1: Her name was Millicent's Royal. She's a kind of girl
Speaker 1: whose family takes up a full page in the blue book,
Speaker 1: and those personal habits take up full pages on police plotters.
Speaker 2: Well, don't just stand there, come in.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Sit down, miss Royal. I'm going to be
Speaker 1: honest with you. I'm an insurance investigator. I don't want
Speaker 1: any You don't understand. I said investigator, not sales. And
Speaker 1: I want to get a line out of doctor Otto Schmedlick.
Speaker 1: Do you recognize the name?
Speaker 5: I'm right, but I'm not sure if any of your business.
Speaker 1: Look, little lady, let's put sparring. I've tailed friend Schmdlick
Speaker 1: this far and now I want some information.
Speaker 5: What have you got nothing? He's a fine doctor, a
Speaker 5: wonderful doctor.
Speaker 1: I don't think he's doing you any good at all.
Speaker 4: You don't know anything about I'm afraid I.
Speaker 1: Do more than you think. I know enough about doctor
Speaker 1: Schmedlick to know that he's doing a lot people a
Speaker 1: lot of trouble. I want to put them in a
Speaker 1: business and you can help me. Oh look, honey, Schmidlick
Speaker 1: is the one that needs protection. You do you and
Speaker 1: the other people on the same spot you're on. Why
Speaker 1: don't you do yourself so good? I think you're better
Speaker 1: leave now. Okay, perhaps i'd better drop around to the
Speaker 1: home of Quincy p Royal bel Air. Good father, No, no,
Speaker 1: don't do that, and give me some answers.
Speaker 3: You can't make me.
Speaker 1: Nobody can.
Speaker 4: Anything that passes between the doctor and is taking as
Speaker 4: the sacred, nobody can make me say it's not even
Speaker 4: good jokes. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, wait a minute, All right, all right,
Speaker 1: if you change your mind, I'm staying at the Park
Speaker 1: Beverly Hotel. I'll trip them up sooner or later if
Speaker 1: I have to. I'm turning it over to the Federal
Speaker 1: men narcotics departments.
Speaker 5: Why did I let you in here? Go out? Leave
Speaker 5: you alone, go away?
Speaker 4: Please don't make me do anything. Well, well, it's my
Speaker 4: estranged wife having a loved.
Speaker 2: I don't see why I should rescue you from anybody's clutches,
Speaker 2: but you I don't like your looks.
Speaker 4: So get out before I bust your hat.
Speaker 1: You know you look like just the guy who might
Speaker 1: be able to do it. Happy Honeymoon. My hangover from
Speaker 1: doctor Schmidlake's health cure hit me again as I hit
Speaker 1: the street. What I needed was a hot shower and
Speaker 1: a cold drink. After the water hit me in the face,
Speaker 1: and a trifle of the same hit the scotch in
Speaker 1: my glass. I sat down on the big easy chair
Speaker 1: in my room posing for a picture Johnny Dollar, lonesomest
Speaker 1: man in town. I was mixed up in something mighty
Speaker 1: big and mighty wrong, but something I couldn't as yet
Speaker 1: put a finger on. Up until then, I had to
Speaker 1: go on with ability, experience, and instinct, all unacceptable to
Speaker 1: the police as evidence. I asked myself why I hadn't
Speaker 1: called the law and told them about my party with
Speaker 1: the doctor and the man nurse. Then I answered myself
Speaker 1: that if I did, I'd probably be the one charge
Speaker 1: with the salt battery and whatever else they want to
Speaker 1: trump up Again, it would only be my word against
Speaker 1: that of an established medical man and his doctor type nurse.
Speaker 1: So I decided to leave dreen in a monster type
Speaker 1: nurse where they were until I could turn them over
Speaker 1: to the cops. Four drinks later, I was beginning to
Speaker 1: realize that those kinds of troubles don't drown easily. And
Speaker 1: then the phone rang. Yeah it's dollar, Yes, this is
Speaker 1: a dollar.
Speaker 2: Want you to come over right away.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, what's the matter?
Speaker 5: Change my mind? I'll tell you everything, anything.
Speaker 1: You want to know. I listen, midicine. Take the advice
Speaker 1: of an old hand at this sort of thing. If
Speaker 1: you want to help, tell me now over the phone.
Speaker 5: I can't trust telephones.
Speaker 1: Somebody's always listening. Listen to me. It never fails, Miss Royal.
Speaker 1: You're playing around with a kind of suspense they like
Speaker 1: to put into movie scripts. The dame calls with some
Speaker 1: hot information she's afraid to spill over the phone. Then
Speaker 1: when the investigator gets there, she's dead. I went there.
Speaker 1: I was right, she was dead. That gave me two
Speaker 1: people to go looking for. I didn't know where a
Speaker 1: strange husband, Bill lives, so I went to work on
Speaker 1: the doctor. His own telephone exchange gave me the information
Speaker 1: that he had called in just before leaving the hospital
Speaker 1: on his way to the office and could be reached
Speaker 1: there in twenty minutes. I was apparently closer than he was,
Speaker 1: so I walked out of the building up to the
Speaker 1: fourth floor. There were lights on the she Medlick office,
Speaker 1: so I walked in. What do you want? I came
Speaker 1: here to see the doctor Bill, but I was going
Speaker 1: to get around to you eventually, and I just came
Speaker 1: from your wife's apartment, so did I. That's what I mean.
Speaker 1: You've got some talking to do.
Speaker 4: I know who you are, but don't go getting any ideas.
Speaker 4: I didn't kill her.
Speaker 1: I loved her, it didn't sound like love. When I
Speaker 1: met you in the apartment.
Speaker 4: We made up. Right after you left, I went out
Speaker 4: to get her something from the drug store. When I
Speaker 4: come back, she was dead. That's what I'm doing here.
Speaker 4: I'm waiting here to kill the man who did it.
Speaker 1: How do you know it was Fred Light Because after
Speaker 1: you left her apartment, she called the doctor and told
Speaker 1: him they didn't stop taking her down.
Speaker 4: She was gonna tell you the whole story.
Speaker 1: He threatened her, and she called me. Offers the grounds
Speaker 1: for blackmails, not contacts. That's right.
Speaker 6: He got started on during the long illa she had
Speaker 6: after she was well but still needed a doug.
Speaker 4: He told her he see that her family heard about it.
Speaker 4: He didn't pay him off.
Speaker 1: Nice guy.
Speaker 4: He wrecked us, wrecked our marriage, made a victim of her.
Speaker 4: And she wasn't the only one.
Speaker 1: There were not this.
Speaker 6: He made doug outts out of them and then threaten
Speaker 6: the blackmail them if they didn't pay off.
Speaker 1: And you prove all this.
Speaker 4: I can't prove it. Nobody can, but cops a medical association.
Speaker 4: They've tried. But Shellic is clever, too clever. When I
Speaker 4: last that monster out in the world, I'll be curing
Speaker 4: it of a bixick.
Speaker 1: Now take it easy. Look, I know how you feel,
Speaker 1: but you haven't got the right answer. Why don't you
Speaker 1: let me take over? Stay out of a dollar.
Speaker 4: I never belonged to any boy scout troops. I'm not
Speaker 4: joining enough. You'll know what they see an apple a day. Well,
Speaker 4: I've got one here for the doctor. You see this,
Speaker 4: it's left over from what I'm coming out.
