She knows about that, 326 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,680 she does a WHI was thinking about being unconscious, afraid 327 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,559 to answer questions. Yes, if you had talked when I 328 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,119 first brought you here, and have this matter cleaned up 329 00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:50,119 and tell me about the ten grams? Did two men 330 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,400 get it? Yes? There was a shakedown going on, wasn't 331 00:18:53,440 --> 00:19:00,759 there What kind of a stake was it? Blackmail situation? 332 00:19:01,039 --> 00:19:04,519 I was married once before. My first wife wanted a divorce. 333 00:19:05,079 --> 00:19:07,680 I offered to give it to her. You know, I 334 00:19:07,839 --> 00:19:10,119 pore I'd never get mixed up in a divorce case. 335 00:19:11,079 --> 00:19:12,960 Look at me now, No, no, no, it's not that 336 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,480 she and I were in perfect agreement, no hard feeling. 337 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,799 Josey's not behind this move. She died six months ago. 338 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,279 A robel tell me this. What part does the bland 339 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,279 named friend Draper play in it? She was part of 340 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,279 the divorce Seminence's great. She has some leticines and photos, 341 00:19:30,559 --> 00:19:32,559 But in the yells of the law my position in 342 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,920 Cob City, I'd be laughed at. It would have broken 343 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,880 my present wife's heart. Ohie, she'd feet a lot better 344 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,039 if you level were they what about this draper girl. 345 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,000 She's got some take witnesses. Also, the evidence he has 346 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,279 is not dated. She can make it feel as though 347 00:19:47,279 --> 00:19:49,680 the pictures were taken recently. Okay, Robul, thanks for the dope. 348 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,359 I'd suggest that you suddenly recover your memory. Go home. 349 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,319 What the draper girl? She's my dish. She's a little 350 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:06,000 too rare for you. I nodded so long to Mervyn 351 00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:08,200 Rubble and mold the whole sorry affair over my mind. 352 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,559 On the way back to the hotel. It'd be easy 353 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,359 to throw a scare into the draped girl and get 354 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,240 back the pictures and letters. But getting the ten thousands 355 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:21,759 from the two mugs, that would be another story. As 356 00:20:21,799 --> 00:20:23,720 I rapped on friend Draper's door, it swung in with 357 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,640 my real eyes that had been open all the time. 358 00:20:26,079 --> 00:20:28,319 I moved inside, feeling for a light switch because the 359 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:33,200 shade were drawn. The girl would pull no more frames. 360 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,359 He was lying on a back in the middle of 361 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,839 a mustard bed. There purple marks around a white neck. 362 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,640 The killer had done it by strangling.

Come here, 390 00:22:07,599 --> 00:22:11,000 I thought, so the letters and pictures fran Draper was 391 00:22:11,039 --> 00:22:13,240 holding over a robu, I was going to try them 392 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:14,359 over to the police for evidence. 393 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:14,839 Speaker 1: You were. 394 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,519 Speaker 2: Lanky. Take a look at the girl on the bed. 395 00:22:18,759 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, hey, that's friend. 396 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 3: He's dead. So now I who killed her? You too, screener, 397 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,759 And I heard what you said is okay. 398 00:22:28,559 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 2: Man, he's a lie. 399 00:22:29,559 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 3: You got to put no more a wrap on to 400 00:22:31,599 --> 00:22:32,200 them trying. 401 00:22:32,039 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 2: To say that, say, oh, they are Douglas. The way 402 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,599 I get it is that Fran Draper came to coach 403 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,400 Cate a blackmail robum. He found out that you wanted 404 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,920 as the bigger friend of roubles as you pretended you 405 00:22:42,039 --> 00:22:44,759 and fran got together. I never saw her before, and 406 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,680 that's why it was so simple for her to set 407 00:22:46,759 --> 00:22:49,519 up that frame up at the dunes tonight. No, you 408 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,720 two are partners. Can you prove that? I can try? 409 00:22:52,559 --> 00:22:55,519 Linky Douglas hired you gotta beat Robot get the blackmail. 410 00:22:55,519 --> 00:22:57,720 When he didn't he yeah, Shorge, thanks, but you and 411 00:22:57,759 --> 00:23:00,359 handko ideas you double cross Douglas and fran Draper. He 412 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,559 took the dough for yourself, so we didn't care. Of 413 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,480 course you're dead, that's why you were carrying the incriminating 414 00:23:05,599 --> 00:23:08,720 pictures and letters inside your shirt. A Douglas, when you 415 00:23:08,799 --> 00:23:10,559 found out that I took the Draper girl away from 416 00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:12,480 the dunes, who got scared. He thought he might sell 417 00:23:12,519 --> 00:23:13,079 the truth about you. 418 00:23:13,319 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 3: They came here, not me, sure, but. 419 00:23:15,279 --> 00:23:17,519 Speaker 2: They didn't have murder in mine, Douglas. All they wanted 420 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,720 was the blackmail stuff so they could make a pitch 421 00:23:19,759 --> 00:23:21,880 for another ten thousand. But you got hear ahead of them. 422 00:23:22,279 --> 00:23:25,519 You must have, because you have that evidence you killed 423 00:23:25,559 --> 00:23:26,960 Fran Draper. Are you mad? 424 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 5: Then? 425 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,279 Speaker 2: How did you know she'd been strangled when you haven't 426 00:23:30,319 --> 00:23:33,519 been close enough to see her neck? Why you don't try, 427 00:23:33,559 --> 00:23:42,279 A Douglas. Well, friends, that's the story. I'll be back 428 00:23:42,279 --> 00:23:51,480 to wrap up the case in just a minute. I 429 00:23:51,559 --> 00:23:53,799 sat Hill Douglas through the arms and I took him 430 00:23:53,839 --> 00:23:55,400 in the two muggs down the coast that the police 431 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,799 headquarters and told my story to an amazed and thoroughly 432 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,319 riledie of police. The mugs answered a few questions and 433 00:24:01,319 --> 00:24:04,039 were locked up. I went back to the hospital where 434 00:24:04,079 --> 00:24:07,759 Mervyn Roebel had amazingly recovered his power of speech. No, 435 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,400 it's over, Granger. Yeah, most certainly is. 436 00:24:10,559 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 4: We don't know how to say. Send you, mister Granger. 437 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,519 Speaker 2: Say that for later. First, here is the black Man materials, 438 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,960 and I hope you're telling missus Roebel the whole story. 439 00:24:18,079 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 4: He already has, mister Granger. 440 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 2: Ten thousand dollars is being held by the police department. 441 00:24:22,559 --> 00:24:25,880 You're certainly getting it back since the bank seller kept 442 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,039 the record of the serial. Anothers. That's wonderful. And now 443 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,039 let's talk about you. Her fear is normal under these circumstances. 444 00:24:33,079 --> 00:24:35,880 I understand.
