00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:01.560
<v Speaker 1>From Hollywood.

2
00:00:01.679 --> 00:00:07.160
<v Speaker 2>It's time now for John Lund as Johnny Dollar al.

3
00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:10.480
<v Speaker 3>Harford, Corinthian, Johnny, I have a case here. He won't like,

4
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:12.359
<v Speaker 3>but the commission will be good if we beat it.

5
00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:13.480
<v Speaker 1>How big is the policy?

6
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:17.359
<v Speaker 3>Two hundred thousand dollars? I'm afraid to tell you the rest.

7
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:21.039
<v Speaker 1>Why it's in Hong Kong? You have to travel. You

8
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:24.120
<v Speaker 1>haven't scared me yet. Is there something you're leaving out?

9
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:28.120
<v Speaker 3>Policy holders are people we've had trouble with before. Remember

10
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:30.079
<v Speaker 3>the Transpacific Import Export outfit.

11
00:00:31.280 --> 00:00:36.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I sent flowers to the widow. Transpacific was in Shanghai.

12
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:38.359
<v Speaker 1>Then this is their Hong Kong place.

13
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:40.280
<v Speaker 3>I want to take a crack at it.

14
00:00:40.880 --> 00:00:47.000
<v Speaker 1>No, but I will al Yeah, I'm scared.

15
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:55.719
<v Speaker 2>Now tonight and every weekday night, John Lund in the

16
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:58.679
<v Speaker 2>Transcribed Adventures of a Man with the Action Packed Expense

17
00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:04.239
<v Speaker 2>account America's Fabulous freelance insurance Investigator, Yours truly, Johnny Dollar.

18
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Expense Accounts submitted by a special investigator Johnny Dallar to

19
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Home Office, Corinthian Liability and Risk, Carford, Connecticut. The following

20
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:28.439
<v Speaker 2>is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the

21
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:36.359
<v Speaker 2>Trans Pacific matter. I found Hong Kong to be a

22
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:41.040
<v Speaker 2>city without simplicity, burdened with the tragic complexities of war.

23
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.640
<v Speaker 2>To fill the smallest one is a difficult and almost

24
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:49.040
<v Speaker 2>always expensive task, as a shortage of everything food, water

25
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:52.799
<v Speaker 2>helped places to live. Both the island and the city

26
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:56.359
<v Speaker 2>of Colown and the mainland burst with thousands of refugees

27
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 2>who have moved from the interior. Over the bobbing head

28
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 2>of my boy, I watched many of them lining the streets,

29
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.879
<v Speaker 2>wailing for arms as we made our way to the

30
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:07.560
<v Speaker 2>offices of the American Consulate.

31
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.080
<v Speaker 4>Yes, it is true. Life is very difficult here.

32
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:25.639
<v Speaker 1>Where are they all going?

33
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:28.560
<v Speaker 4>Many of them do not know? Where is it for

34
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:29.039
<v Speaker 4>him to go?

35
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:33.000
<v Speaker 1>What do they do? How do they stay alive?

36
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 4>Many of them do not. It is not like this

37
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:37.319
<v Speaker 4>in your America.

38
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:41.080
<v Speaker 1>No, had it ever been well?

39
00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:44.319
<v Speaker 2>There was a civil war once. The books I've read

40
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.599
<v Speaker 2>say that at times it was pretty.

41
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:47.759
<v Speaker 1>Bad, but not like this.

42
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:49.080
<v Speaker 2>Never.

43
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 1>Yes, mister Grover, Louisa, mister Dollard, step in.

44
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Speaker 4>Mister Grover is ready to speak with you.

45
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Ah, artwork Connecticut. It sounds for it, I suppose

46
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.199
<v Speaker 2>it would. It's a pleasure. Mister Dollar. Same here mister

47
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:16.039
<v Speaker 2>Grover s Don Insurance investigation. Now, yes, well, now what

48
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:17.919
<v Speaker 2>your errand and what can this office.

49
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Do for you?

50
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm here to investigate a claim filed by the Transpecific

51
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Import Export Company. Oh yes, yes, of course will Meadows

52
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:29.039
<v Speaker 2>from destroyed by fire last month one hundred percent or

53
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:31.680
<v Speaker 2>two hundred thousand dollars worth to my company.

54
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Do you know this William Meadow, mister.

55
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Grober Maddiam at the American Club. No, no, that's about

56
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:42.319
<v Speaker 2>all hey. Insurance investigators are hired when the company isn't

57
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:44.879
<v Speaker 2>satisfied with something about the claim.

58
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:47.879
<v Speaker 1>On this one, the fire was blamed on vandalism.

59
00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:52.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, vandalism has become quite a popular pastime across and

60
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:56.719
<v Speaker 2>Cologne especially. Do you suspect some sort of fraud? Frankly,

61
00:03:56.759 --> 00:04:00.840
<v Speaker 2>we do, mister Grover. Transpacific once had a branch in Shanghai.

62
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.039
<v Speaker 2>When the war closed in on them up there, their

63
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:07.319
<v Speaker 2>warehouse burnt to the ground, just like this one here

64
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:10.439
<v Speaker 2>I see, And it occurred to a number of people

65
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.680
<v Speaker 2>in my home office that Transpecific did much better by

66
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:17.120
<v Speaker 2>collecting on the insurance at that time than by going

67
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:21.879
<v Speaker 2>through the expense of liquidating mm hmm. I suppose coincidence

68
00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:25.120
<v Speaker 2>won't quite do it with it. Well, now, how can

69
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:28.199
<v Speaker 2>I help the Well, i'd appreciate some phone calls or

70
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.839
<v Speaker 2>letters that would give me some support from the fire

71
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:36.160
<v Speaker 2>department the police. I don't suppose my problem seems very

72
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:39.360
<v Speaker 2>important out here, just thinking that very thing. It's always

73
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.439
<v Speaker 2>the case, mister Dollar, on the fringe of war, very

74
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:47.079
<v Speaker 2>few individual problems seem very important, nor are the individuals themselves.

75
00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:49.800
<v Speaker 2>In the end, I trust you'll keep that in mind

76
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:51.560
<v Speaker 2>as you conduct your investigation here.

77
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:51.800
<v Speaker 4>Huh.

78
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:56.040
<v Speaker 2>I'll try to getting help even time from the police

79
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.000
<v Speaker 2>or fire brigade is one of those individual problems. But

80
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.519
<v Speaker 2>I'll do what I can for well, anything will help,

81
00:05:01.560 --> 00:05:05.240
<v Speaker 2>mister Gilmer, I won't take up any more of your time. Eh.

82
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Elections must have been quite exciting back home. Oh yes

83
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 2>they were. I missed that part of home very much. Oh,

84
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:15.199
<v Speaker 2>be sure to leave your number with my girl. I'll

85
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.560
<v Speaker 2>let you know about the official assistance. Well, I came

86
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:19.879
<v Speaker 2>right here from the airport. I don't have a number yet.

87
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh well, pretty tough. She as a matter of fact,

88
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:28.879
<v Speaker 2>almost impossible. The occidental places are always failed. I'll tell

89
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:32.600
<v Speaker 2>you speak with my receptionist miss vaders Vaderus. Yes, her

90
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:36.759
<v Speaker 2>fathers have Portuguese. He might have accommodations. She's a charming

91
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:40.240
<v Speaker 2>girl and nice people. Oh good, I'll ask her and

92
00:05:40.519 --> 00:05:43.160
<v Speaker 2>thanks again, Oh, mister dollar.

93
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Just a matter of ventures.

94
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.079
<v Speaker 2>Yes, the case of the trans specific import in Shanghai.

95
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.040
<v Speaker 2>You say your company was forced to meet the claim there,

96
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:57.000
<v Speaker 2>that's right. Was it investigated? The investigator they sent over

97
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:01.639
<v Speaker 2>was killed before he could build a case. They blamed

98
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:05.279
<v Speaker 2>his death on war conditions too. They said he was

99
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:10.720
<v Speaker 2>robbed a knife by starving refugees. Nobody had time to

100
00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:21.680
<v Speaker 2>dig up the truth. Msvadris arranged for accommodations at her

101
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:25.639
<v Speaker 2>father's place on a street called sing Long, a hill

102
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:28.600
<v Speaker 2>of steps that climbs from the waterfront to the plush

103
00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:32.759
<v Speaker 2>European residences on the top of Victoria Peak. I had

104
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:35.240
<v Speaker 2>a room that looked out on an alley. There was

105
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:38.720
<v Speaker 2>an iron bed, a chair, and a pitcher of water

106
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:42.519
<v Speaker 2>on a bamboo table. There were no other non orientals

107
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:44.959
<v Speaker 2>in the building, but I seem to be the only

108
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:50.480
<v Speaker 2>one that noticed it. The first night there, I was

109
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:57.199
<v Speaker 2>suffering from a combination of claustrophobia and loneliness, feelings which

110
00:06:57.199 --> 00:06:59.160
<v Speaker 2>at first made me glad to learn that it was

111
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:00.680
<v Speaker 2>she who to my door.

112
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:07.639
<v Speaker 4>Hello, miss Vaders, mister Grover contacted a man named Harrison.

113
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:11.240
<v Speaker 4>He's at a fire control office here. Oh, mister Grover

114
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.319
<v Speaker 4>asked me to tell you that mister Harrison will see

115
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:14.120
<v Speaker 4>you tomorrow morning.

116
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's good. Won't you come in?

117
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:22.519
<v Speaker 4>Are you comfortable? Oh?

118
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Thank you?

119
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:28.199
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I am a business fine, I uh, I don't

120
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.199
<v Speaker 2>have much to offer you cigarette.

121
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:37.920
<v Speaker 4>No, no, thank you. I am very curious about what

122
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:41.920
<v Speaker 4>why you are here business?

123
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:46.000
<v Speaker 1>If that's what you mean, it's a better kept confidential.

124
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:46.519
<v Speaker 1>Right now?

125
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:49.759
<v Speaker 4>Is the danger in this business?

126
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Why do you ask that?

127
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.240
<v Speaker 4>Because you are followed here and you are being watched.

128
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:58.319
<v Speaker 4>How do you know, se mong Street. I have seen

129
00:07:58.319 --> 00:07:59.879
<v Speaker 4>this man, but not here.

130
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:00.959
<v Speaker 1>Where is he?

131
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:03.439
<v Speaker 4>Perhaps you can see him from the window.

132
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.639
<v Speaker 1>Wait a minute, you tell me where he is.

133
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:10.360
<v Speaker 4>I'll look the shop on the other side, the boxes

134
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:11.240
<v Speaker 4>pie the door.

135
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you say you've seen him where I kind.

136
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:25.399
<v Speaker 4>Of remember that I have just seen him.

137
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:29.279
<v Speaker 1>Well, no need to worry. There won't be any trouble here.

138
00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:30.480
<v Speaker 4>You seem sure of that.

139
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:34.279
<v Speaker 2>I have the advantage right now. He doesn't know that

140
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:39.120
<v Speaker 2>I know he's there. Well, thanks for telling me about him.

141
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:41.720
<v Speaker 4>Perhaps you know who he is.

142
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:45.320
<v Speaker 1>No, I didn't think anybody knew I was in town.

143
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:49.759
<v Speaker 4>You will let this go on the watching.

144
00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:55.679
<v Speaker 1>Not much choice. But let's talk about something else. Huh.

145
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:57.440
<v Speaker 1>What's that music? Oh?

146
00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:01.240
<v Speaker 4>That is love song? Too many people who meet a

147
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:01.840
<v Speaker 4>new river.

148
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:05.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh, in America, the songs are different.

149
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:07.879
<v Speaker 4>Oh, yes, I know I like them.

150
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:10.039
<v Speaker 1>Do you know many Americans?

151
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:12.679
<v Speaker 4>Oh? Yes, at the consulate office, I see them all

152
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:14.960
<v Speaker 4>the time. I want to marry one.

153
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:17.519
<v Speaker 1>Well, i'd say he was a very lucky American.

154
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:22.320
<v Speaker 4>You misunderstand. I do not mean there's only one. I

155
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.919
<v Speaker 4>want to marry an American who would take me from China.

156
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:27.159
<v Speaker 4>There is no other way.

157
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:29.519
<v Speaker 1>You hate it that much.

158
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:33.120
<v Speaker 4>There is nothing else to do but hate it. There's

159
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.960
<v Speaker 4>no good here, always trouble. But Chinese are patient people.

160
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:41.919
<v Speaker 4>But I'm not all Chinese, and I cannot make myself

161
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:45.440
<v Speaker 4>be patient any longer. I want to go to America,

162
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:49.799
<v Speaker 4>where people thrive on impatiency. You know, I would think

163
00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:52.799
<v Speaker 4>from what I've seen of them, the Americans are the

164
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:54.440
<v Speaker 4>most impatient people in the world.

165
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:59.320
<v Speaker 1>They say, we kill ourselves that way, heart and stomach.

166
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:01.919
<v Speaker 4>Still you live longer and better.

167
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:05.440
<v Speaker 1>What about your Portuguese people.

168
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:11.919
<v Speaker 4>Oh, dear gone, Hugh think I'm bad to be this way?

169
00:10:12.679 --> 00:10:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, no, I didn't say that.

170
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:16.679
<v Speaker 4>I'm not bad.

171
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:24.720
<v Speaker 2>I hope you find your American mewsuaders. Hugh want me

172
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:28.919
<v Speaker 2>to go now, well, I think you'd better. I'll see

173
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:29.519
<v Speaker 2>you tomorrow.

174
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:32.120
<v Speaker 4>Yes, good night.

175
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Three things interfered with sleep that night. The pleading in

176
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:46.679
<v Speaker 2>the eyes of the girl, the smells and sounds that

177
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:50.159
<v Speaker 2>drifted into my room from the restless, crowded city, and

178
00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:53.000
<v Speaker 2>the watcher who was still at this station across the

179
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:57.519
<v Speaker 2>street when I turned out my light. The toughest part

180
00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:59.720
<v Speaker 2>of the case was that failure in Shanghai. At the

181
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:03.559
<v Speaker 2>age of had been killed. There was a sobering memory,

182
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.240
<v Speaker 2>and for that reason, every face on sing Wong Street

183
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:10.240
<v Speaker 2>was a suspicious one in every group of Hong Kong Chinese,

184
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:13.559
<v Speaker 2>a potential assassin. With my watcher the first to be

185
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:18.279
<v Speaker 2>reckoned with gun in hand, eyes on the street, I

186
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:29.080
<v Speaker 2>fell asleep that night watching him. The next morning there

187
00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:31.720
<v Speaker 2>was a different man in his place. I was followed

188
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:34.399
<v Speaker 2>to the office of Harrison, the chief of the fire brigade,

189
00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:38.080
<v Speaker 2>who had developed couldn't see me after all, So with

190
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:40.480
<v Speaker 2>the morning on my hands. I decided to talk to

191
00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:54.080
<v Speaker 2>William Meadow, the head of Trans Pacific. Oh yes, home,

192
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:55.519
<v Speaker 2>mister Meadow at home.

193
00:11:55.639 --> 00:11:57.799
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, you give name please?

194
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:02.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh, gentlemen, my name is Dollar, mister Meadow. I'm from

195
00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Corinthian Liability, Hertford office, all away from the stage. That's right,

196
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.840
<v Speaker 2>we mean, Oh, you'll come in please. Would't you say

197
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:15.399
<v Speaker 2>your name was Dollar? They weren't submited with that company anyway.

198
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:18.159
<v Speaker 2>This doesn't have to be on it there in Hartford

199
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.480
<v Speaker 2>with nothing to worry about but Sunday's golf game. They

200
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:23.200
<v Speaker 2>don't know anything about the conditions we're working under. They

201
00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:25.600
<v Speaker 2>do know that you're a fire here pretty much follows

202
00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:27.639
<v Speaker 2>the pattern of the one in Shanghai, and of.

203
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Course it does.

204
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.159
<v Speaker 2>The conditions are the same, including the starving refugees that

205
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:34.919
<v Speaker 2>kill and rob the investigator. I tell you this now,

206
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:39.720
<v Speaker 2>careless people are dying here every day. It can happen

207
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:42.279
<v Speaker 2>pretty easy. Now, I don't say what you have to

208
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:44.240
<v Speaker 2>say to me, and get out of here. It's very little,

209
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:47.320
<v Speaker 2>mister Meadow. I came here mainly to get my reaction

210
00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:51.120
<v Speaker 2>to you. I have you jumped to the conclusion that

211
00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:53.399
<v Speaker 2>you were under suspicion before I got through that door.

212
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:57.000
<v Speaker 1>You're on the defensive, so you must have a reason

213
00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:58.879
<v Speaker 1>to be sure him out. Will you'll come now, mister

214
00:12:58.919 --> 00:12:59.440
<v Speaker 1>doll wait.

215
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.519
<v Speaker 2>More important, you're having me followed, so you must be

216
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:04.279
<v Speaker 2>afraid of reason.

217
00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:05.120
<v Speaker 1>It's a dollar hold on.

218
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:08.440
<v Speaker 5>I'm not afraid of your dollar or what you can

219
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:12.080
<v Speaker 5>find or what you might try to do. Corinthian liability

220
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:15.200
<v Speaker 5>means no more to me than a bill I authorize

221
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.240
<v Speaker 5>payment on. At the beginning of the year, my firm

222
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:21.279
<v Speaker 5>burned down here, and that dandy little company of yours

223
00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:22.240
<v Speaker 5>is going to pay the claim.

224
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:23.279
<v Speaker 1>True.

225
00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:25.720
<v Speaker 5>I don't like you snooping around. I don't like you

226
00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:28.279
<v Speaker 5>coming here to my house like this, and you know it,

227
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:32.080
<v Speaker 5>no man would. That's the biggest parcel of information you'll

228
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:34.519
<v Speaker 5>ever get from me, that I'll go elsewhere. Good idea.

229
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:38.000
<v Speaker 5>Have your dreams, donar, but have them someplace else. Go

230
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:43.039
<v Speaker 5>snoop through the ashes, they're cold. Mainly, just get out.

231
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:44.960
<v Speaker 2>Of you, and how mister doll or players I can

232
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:55.519
<v Speaker 2>find the door. Two things came out of that conversation

233
00:13:55.639 --> 00:14:00.519
<v Speaker 2>with William Meadow. One reasonable platform to build a suspicion too,

234
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:02.639
<v Speaker 2>a veiled threat.

235
00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:04.720
<v Speaker 1>In his reference to the agent who had been killed

236
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:07.200
<v Speaker 1>in Shanghai. Let me elaborate on that.

237
00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:10.679
<v Speaker 2>Most all of what Meadows was saying to me was

238
00:14:11.120 --> 00:14:13.759
<v Speaker 2>this is my town, and I run things. Anybody who

239
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:15.279
<v Speaker 2>gets in my way can get hurt.

240
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Hm.

241
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:19.759
<v Speaker 2>It was a real nice situation, all right. I'd been

242
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:28.720
<v Speaker 2>threatened and I was being followed. Expense account item two

243
00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:32.559
<v Speaker 2>seven dollars for Scotch. I rickshawed back to my hotel,

244
00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:35.519
<v Speaker 2>locked myself in and took up my vigil by the window.

245
00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Same watcher, same kind of night in the city where

246
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:48.000
<v Speaker 2>life was supposedly so cheap mine began to grow expensive.
