16
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,560
Harry Foster murder case.

17
00:01:47,079 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: Broadways My Beach from Times Square to Columbus Circle, the gaudiest,

18
00:01:51,599 --> 00:01:56,959
the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world.

19
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,439
Speaker 3: Broadways My Beat with Larry Thor as Detective Danny.

20
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: Clover in the early Twilight. Broadway is dappled with beginning shadows.

21
00:02:21,479 --> 00:02:24,560
It's the time of the small shock, the springtime's day

22
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,120
starts its long scream down into night. It's time, clock time,

23
00:02:28,159 --> 00:02:31,280
the hour for going home again. Close the ledger, lock

24
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,280
the store, figure the overtime, smile at the boss and

25
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:37,680
out into the street. Blink, then run the subway. Waits

26
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:47,840
for no man home again. End another day again. But

27
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,520
my day was just beginning north on Broadway into the

28
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,560
East Central Park around the eighties, and push through the

29
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,360
crowd whose focus was a park bench that faced the street.

30
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,759
Come on, break and starts at my and tells you

31
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:01,400
why you're there?

32
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,759
Speaker 4: I over here, Danny lent right there near the bench.

33
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,199
Speaker 5: I found the knife.

34
00:03:06,319 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 6: I didn't pick it up.

35
00:03:07,439 --> 00:03:09,039
Speaker 4: I read, was the boy, Paul.

36
00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:09,879
Speaker 6: Paul Gilbert.

37
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:11,479
Speaker 7: I haven't been home from school yet.

38
00:03:11,479 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 2: Oh you'll go home in a squad car, Paul, I

39
00:03:13,319 --> 00:03:13,879
promised him.

40
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,479
Speaker 4: With the siren, Danny, with a siren.

41
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 2: What happened, Paul? How did the knife get there?

42
00:03:18,479 --> 00:03:20,159
Speaker 7: I saw the man take it out of his own

43
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,240
back and throw it down, and then the man staggered away.

44
00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:24,039
Speaker 4: Did I show you this?

45
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:24,479
Speaker 8: Danny?

46
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,879
Speaker 4: All this blood? Wherever he is, he's hurt, real bad.

47
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: I want you to think for a minute, Paul, what

48
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,159
did this man look like?

49
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 9: Tall?

50
00:03:32,159 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 7: I guess, yeah, I guess that's all.

51
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:35,919
Speaker 6: He was tall.

52
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: Most growing ups are tall, an't.

53
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 7: They, Paul, all of 'em except for midgets.

54
00:03:40,759 --> 00:03:43,159
Speaker 2: One more thing, Paul, was there anyone with this man?

55
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:43,800
Think hard?

56
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,159
Speaker 7: No, I don't think so. You told me that the

57
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,479
other man I saw wasn't with him. The other man

58
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,439
in the hat just watched him. Then the man in

59
00:03:51,479 --> 00:03:53,479
the hat ran away. He wasn't with him.

60
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: What did the man in the hat looked like he

61
00:03:55,439 --> 00:03:56,080
had a hat?

62
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,319
Speaker 7: That's all I know. I got scared.

63
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,919
Speaker 4: I ran, That's right, Danny.

64
00:04:00,039 --> 00:04:02,319
Speaker 10: Paul ran right into Officer Crissio on the beat, almost

65
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,080
knocked him down. Cushio came back, saw the blood on

66
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,400
the bench, the knife, phoned.

67
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: It in, Paul, Did you know the man, the man

68
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:08,680
with the knife?

69
00:04:08,759 --> 00:04:09,439
Speaker 6: No, hauh.

70
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,319
Speaker 7: I usually don't come home from school this way. We

71
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,319
are after school game with the eight by two over

72
00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:16,439
there on the playground. This is the first game of.

73
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:17,319
Speaker 9: The Inner Mirror Squad.

74
00:04:17,399 --> 00:04:26,879
Speaker 2: Carmaga for Paul with a siren, Then the careful tracing,

75
00:04:26,959 --> 00:04:29,279
the sifting through the shadows of a city. The dust

76
00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:31,279
of a city, the hiding places of a city into

77
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,879
which a wounded man must crawl and lie for a time,

78
00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:36,639
and then wander in search of a kindlier place, a

79
00:04:36,759 --> 00:04:40,240
darker place, and leave behind him the trail of the wounded,

80
00:04:40,439 --> 00:04:48,680
the blood of his life. But the man who had

81
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,399
been stabbed had done none of these things. The hospitals

82
00:04:51,399 --> 00:04:53,439
told me that the doctors, the fellow in the neat

83
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:55,600
white jacket, and the drug store across from the park,

84
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,160
who not having a wounded man, offered me a special

85
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,600
and shaving cream. Legwork of the man on the beat,

86
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,040
harvesting the crop of those who had been at the

87
00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:07,160
scene of the crime, sorting them, packaging them, parceling them

88
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,360
out to me one by one.

89
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,959
Speaker 9: Look, mister, how many rights do we have to give you?

90
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:11,319
Speaker 2: Guys?

91
00:05:11,399 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 11: I was calling on my girl, brought her a box

92
00:05:14,079 --> 00:05:17,079
of chocolate covered pepper, and she was beginning to understand me.

93
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,199
Speaker 2: Oh, we won't keep you long.

94
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 11: You don't understand this day. I don't stay close to

95
00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:23,279
my little bird. She busts out of a cage.

96
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 9: I've known her to do that when I pop out

97
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,759
two minutes for a corner newspaper.

98
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 2: You're in the park. This afternoon saw a man who

99
00:05:28,959 --> 00:05:30,959
was stabbed. Can you describe the man?

100
00:05:31,319 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 9: I was never no park when unfortunately got stabbed.

101
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 2: An officer took your name. You made him erase it

102
00:05:36,439 --> 00:05:38,560
start all over again because he wasn't spelling it right.

103
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:40,759
Speaker 9: So you caught me in a lie.

104
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,439
Speaker 2: Can you describe the man who was hurt?

105
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 11: Describe who got a chance to get close to him?

106
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,240
Everybody push and shove and like was a parade for

107
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:47,879
a general.

108
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 9: I'm lucky. I gotta piek at the top of his

109
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:50,519
fleeting skull.

110
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 2: That's all.

111
00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 11: Look, I want to explain why I lied about not

112
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,680
being in the park, my girl.

113
00:05:56,759 --> 00:05:59,079
Speaker 9: The big thinks I work for a living. It's a

114
00:05:59,079 --> 00:06:01,199
little white lion. He used to keep the king.

115
00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 2: That's all you can go. Then the man who is eager,

116
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,240
whose eyes darned and pierced, who follows you as you

117
00:06:12,319 --> 00:06:14,399
move away from him, stays close to you, needs the

118
00:06:14,439 --> 00:06:15,279
lapel of your coat.

119
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 9: I was real close to him.

120
00:06:17,079 --> 00:06:18,319
Speaker 4: He had a knife in his back.

121
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 2: He breathed in my face.

122
00:06:20,439 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 4: I can tell you the color of his eyes, how.

123
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: Close I was.

124
00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 10: Tell me blue eyes, washed out blue, and no tears

125
00:06:26,759 --> 00:06:29,560
in them, no tears at all, no remorse for the

126
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,560
evil doing that had brought wrath upon him.

127
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:37,439
Speaker 2: Blue eyes, what color? Hair dooty, a dirty color, all matted. No, No,

128
00:06:37,639 --> 00:06:37,959
it was.

129
00:06:37,959 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 10: Blond and shining, and it was a kind of light

130
00:06:41,079 --> 00:06:45,759
that shone about it. That's because he was dying, dying

131
00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:47,720
and protest against all the wickedness.

132
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,439
Speaker 4: Little drowned, drown us.

133
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,639
Speaker 2: All A big man, a sharp manner. What is the matter?

134
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,680
How I looked? I was close to him. I tell you,

135
00:06:56,199 --> 00:06:56,959
he reached.

136
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:01,399
Speaker 4: Out his hand to me, touched my tears on my face.

137
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: Help him out of your office. Motion a policeman, over

138
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,279
watch him. Be gentle with the man, take him away,

139
00:07:10,959 --> 00:07:12,720
and then motion for the next one to come in.

140
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 12: Realize, of course, that you're imposing on my time.

141
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 5: Not that I mind.

142
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 12: It could be a welcome relief from those spoiled monsters.

143
00:07:20,199 --> 00:07:22,040
I simper and smile at and die of her.

144
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,439
Speaker 2: You're a nursemaid, miss Cram, Is that right?

145
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,319
Speaker 12: Call me governess and call me Virginia. Miss Cram doesn't

146
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,720
sound like me at all, don't you think?

147
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,759
Speaker 2: You take the children of the park every day.

148
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,519
Speaker 6: Four to five thirty, except on rainy days.

149
00:07:34,959 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 12: On rainy days, the children and I stay at home

150
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,879
and I am permitted callers from four to five thirty.

151
00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 6: That's on rainy days.

152
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: You told an officer you saw the man who was hurt.

153
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 12: I was making conversation. I needed that to get those

154
00:07:48,399 --> 00:07:49,519
brats out of my air.

155
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: You didn't see him.

156
00:07:50,959 --> 00:07:53,439
Speaker 12: I wouldn't have gone near him. But I can tell

157
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:54,279
you who did see him.

158
00:07:54,279 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 6: The looker?

159
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,319
Speaker 2: Who the looker?

160
00:07:56,879 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 4: All of us in the park know her.

161
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,639
Speaker 12: She sits in a window across the street on the

162
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:01,759
fifth floor, watches.

163
00:08:01,519 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 6: Every move we make every day.

164
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:04,399
Speaker 5: Sits there and watches.

165
00:08:04,439 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 12: It makes you feel as if you're being spied on

166
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:07,560
what I mean, fifth.

167
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,199
Speaker 2: Floor in an apartment on eightieth and fifth.

168
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:10,839
Speaker 12: Oh, you can't miss her. Just stand out in the

169
00:08:10,839 --> 00:08:13,399
street for a while. Her eyes will bore right through you.

170
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,319
Speaker 2: But on a rainy day, I know you're permitted callers.

171
00:08:17,439 --> 00:08:45,759
That's all misker. Yes, I'm Danny Clover Police. We haven't

172
00:08:45,759 --> 00:08:47,720
done anything. I know. I don't even know who you are.

173
00:08:47,759 --> 00:08:50,039
There's no name card on your door. You want to

174
00:08:50,039 --> 00:08:55,440
come in and talk to us, all right? I'm George Mason.

175
00:08:55,799 --> 00:09:00,600
She's mine in the wheelchair. Diane's my wife. Good evening,

176
00:09:00,639 --> 00:09:10,600
Miss Mason, Diane, Dianey Diane, we've got a visitor. He said,

177
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:18,159
good evening to you. Say hello, Diane, this is mister

178
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:23,000
Clover from the police. Mister Mason, there was some trouble

179
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,639
earlier across the street from how.

180
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 13: You talk to her when I'm trying something. Maybe it'll

181
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,559
do her some good talking to her?

182
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 2: No one ever? Does you know? You just talked to her?

183
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,360
And I'll answer you all right? There was a man

184
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:37,759
stabbed across the street from you, missus Mason, in the park. Yes,

185
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,120
I heard about it when I came home. Have you

186
00:09:40,159 --> 00:09:43,639
found the man? No, Missus Mason. I understand that you

187
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,159
sit by a window every day. That's right, that one

188
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,879
ge sits there watches. It's her pleasure today every day.

189
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,480
Then she must have seen what happened.

190
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,879
Speaker 6: She must have been pretty pretty.

191
00:09:56,279 --> 00:10:02,639
Speaker 2: What what are you trying to say, Diane? Did you

192
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,480
see how it is? I'm sorry, m.

193
00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:08,039
Speaker 14: George.

194
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,399
Speaker 2: Yes, what is it?

195
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 14: I saw a man today, I saw a knife today.

196
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,159
Speaker 2: Is there anything you can do? Can you talk to her, Diane?

197
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,039
Speaker 14: A man today, a knife today?

198
00:10:24,039 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: Yes? Well, can you tell me what the man looked like? Sweetheart?

199
00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 6: Nice?

200
00:10:28,639 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 13: Was he a big man? Was he a small man?

201
00:10:32,799 --> 00:10:50,759
Was he a nice man? Man, did you like him?

202
00:10:50,799 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 2: And try to erase from memory the eyes of the

203
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,039
woman filled with the name terrors, the known terrors, the

204
00:10:56,159 --> 00:10:58,919
dart and scurry, gnaw and nibble at the fleeting instance

205
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,679
of serenity within her, and try to wash away in

206
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,720
the city's night, screaming, the crooning of a tuneless song,

207
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,039
and suddenly the known words a man, a knife. And

208
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,360
know that the eyes that absorb all movement, all shadow,

209
00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:15,000
all light on faces and things that pass before them

210
00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:18,279
have seen nothing, not the man who was stabbed, not

211
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,200
the one who did the stabbing. And then the long

212
00:11:21,279 --> 00:11:24,519
walk to the darkened room, turn on the shaded light bulb,

213
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,799
and search the cupboards for sleep. And finally it comes

214
00:11:37,919 --> 00:11:40,480
in the morning, the scorching cup of coffee, the walk

215
00:11:40,519 --> 00:11:43,159
to headquarters, and the cheery greeting on the threshold from

216
00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:44,679
the cheery sergeant are tightly.

217
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,639
Speaker 11: Oh, welcome, Danny, Welcome to your abode, away from your abode.

218
00:11:48,799 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 2: Good morning, genal.

219
00:11:49,879 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 9: Ah, the best, the sunniest, the brave.

220
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 2: Not sorely. You know, all I've had is a cup of.

221
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 11: Coffee for which I am delighted. Huh, for which I

222
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,519
am delighted. Come will escort you to your office, Danning.

223
00:12:02,399 --> 00:12:04,440
You will see there how I have taken the liberty

224
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:05,480
to spread upon your.

225
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,879
Speaker 2: Desk a repast I shouldn't have done it.

226
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 11: A repast consisting of a hot paper container of coffee

227
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,279
and a half a dozen cinnamon bumbs.

228
00:12:14,159 --> 00:12:19,639
Speaker 9: What the repast heartache looks good? How else should they look?

229
00:12:19,919 --> 00:12:22,039
Speaker 11: The cinnamon bumbs were baked in the oven of Missus

230
00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:24,480
Tartagia with her own two lily whites.

231
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,279
Speaker 9: Go ahead, but bait munch.

232
00:12:27,039 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 2: If you like, Mmmm, thank Missus Tartaglier.

233
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 8: For me.

234
00:12:30,519 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 9: It goes without saying.

235
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 11: Now to the events of the morning, Okay, if I

236
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,879
disturbed while you munch, we have the department. I've discovered

237
00:12:40,919 --> 00:12:43,639
that this park bench upon which an alleged man was

238
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,840
allegedly stabbed has been a lucky bench. Are unlucky, depending,

239
00:12:47,879 --> 00:12:50,000
of course, on the point of view of whom sat there.

240
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 2: You'll explain it to me.

241
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 11: G know, goes without saying. The lucky part of the

242
00:12:54,279 --> 00:12:56,960
bench is that five weeks ago a man found upon

243
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,200
it wrapped in a newspaper three hundred dollars turned over

244
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,759
the lost and found. So is that four weeks ago

245
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,120
same man trained in the Lost and Found from the

246
00:13:06,159 --> 00:13:09,919
same bench a like newspaper containing another three hundred and

247
00:13:10,039 --> 00:13:12,000
we have not seen this pleasant honor.

248
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,279
Speaker 2: Citizen since do you have his name?

249
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 9: Oh, it goes with a.

250
00:13:16,519 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 11: Harry Foster, thirteen forty five West sixteenth one.

251
00:13:20,039 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 9: I should keep the simnon bums hot for you, Danny.

252
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:22,519
Speaker 4: I'll do that.

253
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:23,759
Speaker 2: You know, you go ahead and do that.

254
00:13:42,279 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 6: Please help me, Please come in and help me.

255
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:46,399
Speaker 2: What's the matter my husband?

256
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 6: No one will help me. I asked the neighbors. They said,

257
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,960
call the police. It's called an ambulance.

258
00:13:51,159 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 4: Please help her.

259
00:13:52,159 --> 00:13:53,399
Speaker 2: Is he you help me?

260
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 6: He's in our bedroom.

261
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,919
Speaker 4: I think he's I think he's dying.

262
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 6: And no one would know.

263
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,399
Speaker 4: One Foster, Yes, Harry's wife.

264
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 6: He came home last night and there was blood. He

265
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,639
just looked at me like an animal, and.

266
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:11,399
Speaker 4: Help him.

267
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 2: Please help him dead?

268
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,639
Speaker 6: Oh no, you're wrong.

269
00:14:20,799 --> 00:14:22,039
Speaker 2: You've been dead for a long time.

270
00:14:24,519 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 6: Hole asleep.

271
00:14:39,679 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 3: You are listening to Broadways My Beat, written by Morton

279
00:15:19,879 --> 00:15:23,559
Speaker 2: In the maytime, the sun grims down and pats Broadway's cheek.

280
00:15:23,799 --> 00:15:26,759
Broadway loves it. The sunlit minutes are added to the

281
00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:29,759
ten minute break for a cigarette. The walk is slower,

282
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,879
the sway gentler. The windows are opened wide and the

283
00:15:32,919 --> 00:15:35,639
door is too, And glints of sunlight a carried through

284
00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:38,679
long hallways, and the sigh of a summer's wind, touching

285
00:15:38,679 --> 00:15:41,120
the lips of the girl at the typewriter, touching the

286
00:15:41,159 --> 00:15:43,279
hand of the man at the water cooler, watching her,

287
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,159
touching the steel of the file cabinets, warming them. Having

288
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,480
made the tour back on Broadway and start all over again.

289
00:15:55,799 --> 00:15:58,480
Where I was, there was no warmth, only a woman

290
00:15:58,559 --> 00:16:01,639
drawing a shawl tight around her shoulders and talking quietly

291
00:16:01,639 --> 00:16:02,120
to her dad.

292
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 6: Harry, Harry listened to me.

293
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:04,639
Speaker 4: You were right.

294
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 12: We should have told them, we should have told them

295
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,519
all about it, and you wouldn't be like this.

296
00:16:09,639 --> 00:16:12,639
Speaker 2: And I would missus, Foster. What should you have told us?

297
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 6: What did you say?

298
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 2: What should you and your husband have told.

299
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,279
Speaker 6: Us about the money? Nothing else?

300
00:16:18,679 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: Money you found on the park bench.

301
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 6: Yes, you see, we should have told them Harry.

302
00:16:23,559 --> 00:16:25,799
Speaker 2: But he did, missus, Foster, He reported it, turned it in.

303
00:16:26,159 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 6: You don't understand, I know no one would understand.

304
00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: Then maybe you can help me.

305
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:39,039
Speaker 6: Friday, it was always Harry's day off from the factory

306
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,519
out there. You can see it from here, see, and

307
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,240
he's day off. I'd pack him a little lunch and

308
00:16:46,279 --> 00:16:50,559
he kissed me goodbye. Walk up town to Central Park

309
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:57,720
he gone. He always went alone. He always sat on

310
00:16:57,759 --> 00:17:00,919
the same bench. Harry used to describe it to me

311
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,240
what he saw people he talked to felt as if

312
00:17:05,279 --> 00:17:06,240
I'd been there with him.

313
00:17:06,279 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 2: And one day he found money in a newspaper and.

314
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 6: Turned it in, like you said, next week turned it in.

315
00:17:13,799 --> 00:17:16,960
But after that told him he didn't have to do

316
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:17,720
that anymore.

317
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 2: You mean he found more money. Is that what you're

318
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:26,039
trying to tell me? You mean he found more money.

319
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,839
Speaker 6: For five weeks in a row. I told Harry he

320
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,880
didn't have to turn it in anymore. I told him

321
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,920
to go back to be sure. And keep going back

322
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:45,640
every week, yesterday too, and we'd be rich. No more this,

323
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:48,319
no more factory.

324
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 2: Why didn't you call us when he came home hurt?

325
00:17:50,799 --> 00:17:52,240
Call a doctor who would.

326
00:17:52,079 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 6: Have spoiled it? Ended it the money, don't you see?

327
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:05,200
I thought he'd live and we that money. No, you couldn't.

328
00:18:06,799 --> 00:18:08,000
You couldn't see.

329
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: Then she turned from me and walked over to the window,

330
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,279
stared out of it across her shoulder into the noon sunshine.

331
00:18:21,279 --> 00:18:24,680
I could see the factory emptying its lunchtime employees, the

332
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,039
crowd breaking off its fragments to the curb with the

333
00:18:27,079 --> 00:18:29,039
lunch pails, to the push carts for the ham on

334
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,039
white and coffee. Then the other side, the feet in

335
00:18:33,079 --> 00:18:37,119
the doorway, the entrance of the professionals, coroner, photographer, reporter.

336
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:47,640
The man had been murdered. I left, then back again

337
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,039
to Central Park. In the park bench of the stabbing

338
00:18:50,279 --> 00:18:53,200
sit on it. A man named Harry Foster used to

339
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,359
find money here and he was killed. And a woman

340
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,160
who had seen it happen, a woman who sat at

341
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,480
a window every day, looked up to the window. She

342
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:11,440
wasn't there. I wondered why I knew why she was

343
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,640
in the wheelchair. There was a man pushing it carefully

344
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:18,519
down the steps. Can you scoot you a little to

345
00:19:18,559 --> 00:19:27,400
the side, friend Anita hand? Yeah, if you want. Thanks.

346
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,440
How are you feeling, missus Mason.

347
00:19:29,839 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 4: She ain't gonna answer you.

348
00:19:31,039 --> 00:19:32,319
Speaker 2: I didn't know if she left the house.

349
00:19:32,759 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 4: Why should you even bother?

350
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:35,799
Speaker 2: Oh I'm Danny Clover police.

351
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,799
Speaker 15: Oh Hi, I'm Ben Taylor. Got a you drive down

00:19:39,799 --> 00:19:44,240

Speaker 2: I see just today?

355
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,799
Speaker 15: Oh all the time, from one to three, the elements

00:19:50,839 --> 00:19:56,079

357
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,319
right away, miss Mason is see you Danny.

358
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,599
Speaker 2: Wait a minute? How long have you been doing this, Ben?

359
00:20:02,559 --> 00:20:05,799
Speaker 15: Or since her accident? Since its coney last year? Hid

360
00:20:05,839 --> 00:20:11,160
her back here and up here head. I guess i'd

361
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,359
better take her. I heard her cry like that before.

362
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,279
I can't stand it. Sure, it's a nice day, missus Mason.

363
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:18,559
I hope you enjoy your ride.

364
00:20:18,599 --> 00:20:20,759
Speaker 4: Or she will. She likes riding in the car. See

365
00:20:20,759 --> 00:20:21,599
you're around, Danny.

366
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 2: I watched Ben lift her gently out of the wheelchair,

367
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,559
lift her into the back of the car, close the door,

368
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,599
fold the chair, place it in the car. Trunk, then

369
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,640
back and saying something to her. She looked up for

370
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,200
an instant her eyes found me. Then she smiled and

371
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:48,720
shaped a lost word with her lips. They were gone,

372
00:20:51,079 --> 00:20:53,960
and back at headquarters, the wall clock taking off the

373
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,119
hours of Harry Foster's death, taking off the hours that

374
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,640
his murderer came to a park bench, looked at it,

375
00:20:59,759 --> 00:21:03,200
sild walked away in the warm sun, ticked off the

376
00:21:03,279 --> 00:21:05,720
question of why money had been left there for Harry

377
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,599
Foster to find week after week on Friday's twilight, and

378
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,279
at four o'clock, the door opening slightly, and all you

379
00:21:12,319 --> 00:21:13,799
saw of the man was his cocked head.

380
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 9: You, mister Danny Clover.

381
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,599
Speaker 2: That's right, you want something.

382
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,559
Speaker 9: All I didn't know if you, mister Danny Clover. And

383
00:21:20,599 --> 00:21:22,400
to give you what I have in my pocket. They

384
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:23,920
said I should give it to you, you being the

385
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:24,880
interested party.

386
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 3: And all?

387
00:21:25,079 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 2: What have you got in your pocket?

388
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,039
Speaker 9: This an envelope stamped and everything I found it?

389
00:21:29,039 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 2: Don't give it to me. It's addressed to George Mason.

390
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 9: Anybody can see that. That's the husband of that woman,

391
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,680
the cripple, the one they call a looker in the papers,

392
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,279
the one they think they saw that stabbing. I did

393
00:21:41,319 --> 00:21:42,039
right bringing it to you.

394
00:21:42,319 --> 00:21:45,599
Speaker 2: It's been opened. You open it. I don't lie to me.

395
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,599
You opened it and then resealed it, all right, I

396
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,400
opened it. I'm a normal kind of fella with all

397
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,039
the normal curiosities. First I was going to mail it

398
00:21:52,079 --> 00:21:54,160
when I found it, and then I saw who was addressed.

399
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:57,200
Though I couldn't restrain myself, un like the provibial cat,

400
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,559
mister Clover, it could make trouble for you being like that.

401
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 11: When you see what's in it, not when you see

402
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,720
what it says. It says you've made a terrible mistake.

403
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 9: That's all. Not another word.

404
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 11: See, you can't do anything to me for just reading that.

405
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:13,960
You just read it yourself. That's why I brought it

406
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,960
to you, because I'm a cooperative citizen. Or did you

407
00:22:16,039 --> 00:22:19,480
find it at Grant's too? And I've been curious about

408
00:22:19,519 --> 00:22:21,880
that tune for years now. Finally I took time off

409
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,680
to go to study it. Then I found a letter

410
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,759
on the steps, and I never did get to really

411
00:22:25,759 --> 00:22:26,680
study Grants.

412
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 2: Tool tough you'll stick around, huh. Some of our boys

413
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,839
want to have a long chat with you. They enjoy

414
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:31,759
curious fellas.

415
00:22:31,759 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 9: Sure run anything you say I'm nothing if I'm not cooperative,

416
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:35,119
just nothing.

417
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say that, but you stick around.

418
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:47,319
Speaker 16: Huh?

419
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:47,559
Speaker 2: Hi?

00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:52,880

422
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,640
telephone is on the outside of my shack.

423
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:57,799
Speaker 4: Inspiration.

424
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: Eh? Fine, who wants to be.

425
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 4: On the inside?

426
00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 15: Went outside at sunny your car renting, Danny?

427
00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:04,440

428
00:23:04,799 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 15: Just talk if you know, through business to ghett would

429
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:08,839

430
00:23:09,319 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 4: What's on your mind?

431
00:23:10,279 --> 00:23:11,039
Speaker 2: Missus Mason?

432
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:14,519
Speaker 8: Sad?

433
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 16: Huh?

434
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 15: You know, if you set your mind to it and

435
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,000
consider able, She's been true.

436
00:23:20,559 --> 00:23:23,279
Speaker 4: And then look at her. She's a pretty woman.

437
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 2: I noticed you said she was hurting an accident at

438
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,359
Coney Island, Ben, what kind of an.

439
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 15: Accent on the roly coaster? You know one of them

440
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,359

441
00:23:33,559 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 2: She stood up fell Was she with anyone?

442
00:23:36,559 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 8: Yeah?

443
00:23:36,759 --> 00:23:37,319
Speaker 4: Her husband.

444
00:23:38,319 --> 00:23:41,799
Speaker 15: You want to know something, in spite of the heartbreak

445
00:23:41,839 --> 00:23:44,759
and having a wife like that, You know, mister Mason

446
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,279

447
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 2: What about missus Mason, Ben?

448
00:23:49,599 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 4: What about her?

449
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 2: Can anyone ever talk to her? Have a conversation with her.

450
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,759
I talked to her about what things?

451
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:57,319
Speaker 4: You know?

452
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 15: Ain't it a pretty damousus Mason? Is there a draft

453
00:24:01,279 --> 00:24:04,279
on you? Missus Mason. I talked to her, but she

454
00:24:04,559 --> 00:24:08,640
just hums and sings. But you know, I think she's

455
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,720
getting better. Maybe I'm contributing. Where'd you go driving today?

481
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 13: Yeah, talking like you know what you're saying. You do

482
00:26:14,599 --> 00:26:18,079
know what you're saying. What's happening? What's happening to us?

483
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:19,839
Speaker 2: It's already happened. It's all over.

484
00:26:30,079 --> 00:26:30,279
Speaker 14: Over.

485
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 2: You paid off, did missus? Mason sitting at the window watching,

486
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,200
watching for a man your husband could.

487
00:26:36,079 --> 00:26:40,319
Speaker 5: Kill, simple little man. He came and sat on the

488
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:41,920
same bench every friday.

489
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 6: He got paid for a while.

490
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,079
Speaker 13: It was you you wrote that first letter to hand,

491
00:26:49,279 --> 00:26:52,680
and this one made me pay blackmail to a man

492
00:26:52,759 --> 00:26:54,519
or didn't even know me, didn't know anything about me.

493
00:26:55,079 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 14: It was so simple. Write a letter, put a stamp

494
00:26:59,039 --> 00:26:59,519
on it.

495
00:26:59,559 --> 00:27:01,279
Speaker 6: Drop it from the car.

496
00:27:02,279 --> 00:27:04,079
Speaker 14: Someone picked up the first letter and.

497
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 2: Mailed it about five weeks ago, a letter with instructions

498
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,839
in it? Why leave money every Friday on the park bench.

499
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,119
And the man who picked up mister Mason, you thought

500
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,759
was a blackmailer, so you killed him. Miss's crazy? She

501
00:27:14,799 --> 00:27:15,720
really is. She's crazy.

502
00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 5: No, I'm not. I'm just a cripple, George. I can't

503
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:27,160
move from this chair, honest, But I'm not crazy.

504
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 2: She's crazy. What did that first letter say, mister Mason?

505
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 13: When that a man saw me push my wife off

506
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,759
a ride at Coney Island, he demanded blackmail, But I

507
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,000
didn't push Anne.

508
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 5: Then why did you pay the money?

509
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,599
Speaker 2: Darling? But you weren't going to let your husband alone warrior,

510
00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:44,240
Missus Mason, even after he did what you wanted him

511
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,559
to do, murder a man. Another letter that won your

512
00:27:46,599 --> 00:27:49,119
husband's holding, telling him he killed the wrong man.

513
00:27:49,319 --> 00:27:53,279
Speaker 5: It's not much to ask, is it? Wanting George to suffer?

514
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:54,839
Look at me?

515
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,039
Speaker 2: You're an accessory, Missus Mason.

516
00:27:57,079 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 5: Am I What can you do to me? A cripple

517
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:01,160
in a.

518
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 4: Wheelchair in a prison?

519
00:28:04,039 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 6: Would that be different?

520
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,319
Speaker 13: Tell me how I didn't push you, Diane.

521
00:28:08,319 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 2: I didn't push you. You fell off that ride.

522
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 14: You fell, liar, Diane, You're a liar.

523
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 2: When you listen to me. I made it up to you.

524
00:28:17,319 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 13: I carried you, I waited on you.

525
00:28:20,519 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 2: I went crazy that day. I hated you. I don't

526
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,240
know why. I don't know.

527
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 6: Oh, I know why.

528
00:28:28,839 --> 00:29:13,839
Speaker 2: You're an evil woman. Evil is shauld a diet. It's

529
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:18,119
night on Broadway. Now, it's easy laughter and a trumpet

530
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,680
scurls its music into the grinning mob. It's top of

531
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,960
the evening. Have another drink on me, kid, and let's

532
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,599
set this stance out. It's a street gouged out of

533
00:29:27,599 --> 00:29:33,640
a scarlet dream. It's Broadway, the gaudiest, the most violent,

534
00:29:35,400 --> 00:30:09,680
the lonesomest mile in the world. Broadway, My Beat, Broadways.

Speaker 4: The Columbia Broadcasting.

551
00:31:07,839 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: System Welcome back. A good episode, although in the first

552
00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:32,319
half Danny was being unusually a prop in dismissing witnesses,

553
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:36,319
as if he realized that he had to get through

554
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:41,319
these witnesses in order for the episode to stay on schedule.

555
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:45,119
The boy who was given a squad car ride with

556
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,200
a light on was one thing that maybe wonder how

557
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,279
often that happens. I didn't think, unless it's a bread

558
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:55,720
or something, the light should only be used for true emergencies.

559
00:31:55,839 --> 00:31:58,920
But maybe I'm a stick in the mind. Danny called

560
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,440
the killer's wife accessory, and I'm not sure that's right.

561
00:32:02,559 --> 00:32:05,480
In fact, I'm pretty sure it's not. But I think

562
00:32:05,519 --> 00:32:09,799
the writers struggle with the idea that someone can be

563
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:17,039
morally responsible for death but not legally culpable, because yeah,

564
00:32:17,079 --> 00:32:22,000
she's definitely guilty of extortion. And of course she hoped

565
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,759
her husband would do the killing, but hoping that someone

566
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,519
commits a murder doesn't make you an accessory to the murder.

567
00:32:29,839 --> 00:32:33,720
The husband did it all by himself, with no assistance

568
00:32:33,799 --> 00:32:38,640
from her in either planning or covering up the crime. Well,

569

Speaker 8: You've been driving a couple of years for Lavelle Trucking Line.

Speaker 2: Yeah?

591
00:33:58,079 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 8: What if you'd mind running it through for us again.

592
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,160
Maybe there's a few details about the thing that you

593
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,799
forgot to mention. It won't be any different And last time,

594
00:34:05,279 --> 00:34:07,200
I pulled out from the load and dock about six

595
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,960
o'clock yesterday morning, hauling a load of Scotch whiskey over

596
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,440
to Phoenix. Pulled up for the red light at Alameda

597
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,400
and Jackson. That's when the guy pulled open the door

598
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:15,920
and got in next to me, put a gun in

599
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,920
my ribs, told me look straight ahead. The first thing

600
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:19,480
he did was hand me the pair of goggles and

601
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,039
tell me to put him on. Same kind the welders use.

602
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,199
Front of the lens was covered with tape. I put

603
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:25,960
him on. I couldn't see a thing. I took over

604
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,840
the wheel and started driving. Well, did you have any

605
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,519
idea what direction you're hitting him, not with the goggles on.

606
00:34:30,599 --> 00:34:32,159
I tried to follow it first, but I got all

607
00:34:32,199 --> 00:34:34,320
mixed up, couldn't tell where he was driving, made quite

608
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,360
a few turns. He drove about twenty twenty five minutes,

609
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,239
I guess before we pulled up. That's where the switching

610
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,639
point was. Two more guys met us there. I can

611
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,280
only tell by the voices. They pulled me out of

612
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:44,400
the truck and put me in a car.

613
00:34:44,679 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 1: I hope you'll be with us today and in the meantime.
