00:00:12,359 --> 00:00:15,519
discuss an idea for a movie. Uh uh, Now I

4
00:00:15,519 --> 00:00:18,399
can't make it, Angel and I can't miss this. These

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:22,039
characters have dreamed up the perfect switch. Instead of shooting pictures,

6
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:23,640
they plan to shoot people.

7
00:00:28,519 --> 00:00:29,039
Speaker 2: Once again.

8
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 3: The Adventures of the Falcon dedicated to private investigators everywhere,

It's Sunday afternoon in New York, and in his hotel suite,

13
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,000
Ken Marlowe, who loves smashed his way to movie start

14
00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:04,439
him by portraying a two fist drinking man. He's giving

15
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,640
a sample of the performance that made him think. Only

16
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,599
this time, Ken isn't acting.

17
00:01:10,079 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: I'll fix them all.

18
00:01:11,599 --> 00:01:13,879

00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 2: Huh, how are you Ken?

22
00:01:24,599 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 4: Jackie Howard, I'm sorry, I was expecting somebody else. I

23
00:01:29,519 --> 00:01:32,359
bet she's a lot prettier, Nothing like that, I'm here

24
00:01:32,359 --> 00:01:35,079
with a wife. It's a funny thing. I didn't even

25
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,840
know you were in town. I thought I left you

26
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:37,680
on the West coast.

27
00:01:37,879 --> 00:01:41,239

00:04:26,639 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: Steve?

81
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,639
Speaker 5: Just saw Laura. You're really living your part, aren't you?

to see you love her up.

86
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,439
Speaker 7: She's one in a million because she's stuck by you.

87
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:42,959
When you've gotten that mess out in Beverly Hill.

88
00:04:42,959 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 2: Why don't you mind your own business? Steve?

89
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 4: I tried like you're not very good at it. I

90
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,759
pay you two hundred bucks a week to take care

91
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,160
of my publicity. I haven't seen my name in print

92
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:51,720
for months.

93
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,439
Speaker 7: Sometimes a publicity man does a job by keeping his

94
00:04:54,519 --> 00:04:55,920
client's name out of the papers.

95
00:04:55,959 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 2: What kind of a crack is that?

96
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,639
Speaker 7: Who squared that beef with that girl in Santa Monica

97
00:04:59,639 --> 00:05:01,720
and that chicken and seen it?

98
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 5: Look, Steve, if you don't like it, you know what

99
00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:04,480
you can do.

100
00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:07,399
Speaker 7: You know, I was just thinking, if national doesn't pick

101
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:08,160
up your eruption.

102
00:05:08,759 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 5: You're gonna be in trouble.

103
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,319
Speaker 2: Who says, so I could go to a metro or fill.

104
00:05:12,079 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 7: I got a scoop for you.

105
00:05:12,959 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 5: Boy.

106
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,639
Speaker 7: They wouldn't let you through the main gate.

107
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 5: Your only chance is national.

108
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,959
Speaker 7: You gotta behave yourself until they make up their minds?

109
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:20,319
Speaker 5: Kind of a jam?

110
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 7: Did you get yourself into with Jackie Howard?

111
00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:25,319
Speaker 5: Oh, so Laura has been She hasn't been doing anything

112
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:25,759
of the kind.

113
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,439
Speaker 7: I saw Jackie in the lobby. I put two and

114
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:27,920
two together.

115
00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 4: But I can stop adding and pay more attention to business.

116
00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:32,160
We'd all be better off. Why don't you get me

117
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:32,839
some publicis?

118
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,399
Speaker 5: Okay? Maybe you could stop a runaway horse top me.

119
00:05:35,519 --> 00:05:35,879
Speaker 2: Funny.

120
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 7: I was just pointing out that putting three quarts of

121
00:05:38,759 --> 00:05:41,600
booze away isn't considered front page stuff anymore.

122
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:42,759
Speaker 5: You see, editors are funny.

123
00:05:42,759 --> 00:05:46,519
Speaker 2: They wait a minute, Wait a minute, I got an idea.

124
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 5: Suppose my life was threatened, Oh forget it.

125
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,959
Speaker 2: Why it sounds pretty good to me now if we

126
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:53,560
went to the con.

127
00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 7: In case you haven't heard Ken horsing around with the

128
00:05:55,879 --> 00:05:57,360
laws of pretty serious matter.

129
00:05:57,519 --> 00:06:02,079
Speaker 4: Okay, isn't Mike wearing a buddy of yours at private

130
00:06:02,079 --> 00:06:03,160
Dick they call a falcon.

131
00:06:03,399 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 5: What about it?

132
00:06:04,439 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 2: They keep playball? No, No, Mike wouldn't touch anything that's phonny.

133
00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 5: Why would he have to know?

134
00:06:09,519 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 4: I suppose we cooked up some anonymous far it's out.

135
00:06:13,079 --> 00:06:14,319
Why because I thought of it.

136
00:06:14,399 --> 00:06:15,639
Speaker 5: Ken, don't be ridic.

137
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: We're gonna handle it my way.

138
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 4: We'll hire the falcon to be my bodyguard, and you

139
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,720
leak it to the papers. I'll be worth a couple

140
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,920
of column I don't like it, K I don't like

141
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,800
paying your salary. While I dream up the ideas, I'll

142
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,639
go call wearing set up a date.

143
00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:37,439
Speaker 5: Well that's the story, Mike.

144
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 7: After the third phone called, Ken thought we ought to

145
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:41,120
do something about it.

146
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: I assume not that I was worried.

147
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 4: You understand I can take care of myself, but I

148
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:46,560
had to think of Laura.

149
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:49,759
Speaker 2: Laura my wife. You know how a gal worries.

150
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,759
Speaker 1: Tell me some more about these phone calls. Mar Alone,

151
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,120
do you recognize the voice? No, I thought it was

152
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,560
a gag at first. What convinced you otherwise?

153
00:06:58,959 --> 00:07:01,079
Speaker 4: Well, this morning someone he took a pot shot at

154
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,120
me while I was playing golf with Steve.

155
00:07:03,439 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: Do you report it to the police?

156
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 5: He didn't want to, Mike, but I insisted.

157
00:07:06,399 --> 00:07:06,959
Speaker 1: What did they say?

158
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,199
Speaker 5: They thought it was a publicity stunt? Is this no?

159
00:07:10,759 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: You sure, Steve?

160
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,199
Speaker 5: I look, Mike, you've known me for how many years? Ten? Twelve?

161
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,519
I think I've always leveled with you.

162
00:07:15,759 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but you can't blame me for being suspicious.

163
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,920
Who did you talk to at headquarters? A Sergeant Corbett?

164
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,480
Now there's a phoney. If I ever met one. He

165
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,639
happens to be a friend of mine. Oh, offense, old man, Kippe.

166
00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:30,360
Have you any idea who might be after him? No

167
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,800
indulging in any extracurricular activities? You mean women?

168
00:07:35,279 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 4: You take me for an idiot. I'm married to the

169
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,399
greatest little girl in the world.

170
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: You owe anybody any money? No, I'm the kind of

171
00:07:41,399 --> 00:07:43,759
pays his bills. I'm always on the dot. You sound

172
00:07:43,839 --> 00:07:46,360
too good to be true. Ah. The more I hear

173
00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:49,199
of this, the more I'm convinced Corbett was right. Come again,

174
00:07:49,399 --> 00:07:51,199
the way you tell it, you're the most popular man

175
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:54,160
in the class. Okay, if that's the way you feel,

176
00:07:54,199 --> 00:07:57,160
we'll get somebody else. There are other private detectives in

177
00:07:57,199 --> 00:07:58,519
New York and better too.

178
00:07:58,720 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 5: I Steve.

179
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: Sorry, Mikee, I forget. It's not your fault. Just say

180
00:08:02,839 --> 00:08:07,480
it's a clash of personalities. Yeah, it's a long palla seeing.

181
00:08:08,439 --> 00:08:09,759
Give me a call before you leave town.

182
00:08:09,839 --> 00:08:13,399
Speaker 5: I will well. I hope you are satisfied.

183
00:08:13,879 --> 00:08:14,759
Speaker 1: I am.

184
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: I think wearing is gonna work out fine.

185
00:08:17,279 --> 00:08:20,639
Speaker 5: So help me your nuts. Didn't you hear what he said?

186
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,079
Speaker 4: He thinks this is a publicity stunt. All he caught

187
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:26,800
was the prologue. He'll play ball after the first actor.

188
00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:27,839
Speaker 5: What are you talking about.

189
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: Let's find a phone.

190
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 4: I got to cast a show and I know just

191
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:42,320
the boy to play the lead.

192
00:08:50,919 --> 00:08:55,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, text Riley around, don't know? Tell him it's Ken Marlow?

193
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: Why you no good louts?

194
00:08:57,759 --> 00:08:58,759
Speaker 6: How can you have the herd.

195
00:08:58,799 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: Your shirt on text?

196
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,159
Speaker 4: But you thought I forgot about that hundred bucks you

197
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,720
loaned me before I went to Hollywood?

198
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:04,879
Speaker 1: Well didn't you?

199
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: Oh this is my first trip in New York in

200
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:07,279
six years.

201
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:08,919
Speaker 1: You could have mailed it.

202
00:09:09,039 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 4: Oh that's too impersonal. I wanted to give it to

203
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,799
you myself with a little bonus. How would you like

204
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,840
to pick up an additional five hundred?

205
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:17,919
Speaker 1: I don't sound like a Ken Marlow.

206
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 8: I know and hate.

207
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: What do I have to do.

208
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 2: Well. I got a little part i'd like you to

209
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,720
try out for in a picture. It's a play I'm

210
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,759
going to produce on my own. But first i'd like

211
00:09:27,799 --> 00:09:28,960
to see a dress rehearsal.

212
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:30,799
Speaker 1: I don't get it well.

213
00:09:30,799 --> 00:09:32,919
Speaker 4: My wife doesn't know anything about this, and i'd like

214
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,320
to test a reaction. If you meet me in the

215
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,120
Creighton lobby in twenty minutes, we'll run over the script.

216
00:09:48,799 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 2: Hey, Laura, you better order some more ice. I'm running low. Oh,

217
00:09:51,799 --> 00:09:53,480
I can why radic.

218
00:09:55,039 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 6: You expecting someone?

219
00:09:56,399 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 2: Oh, Steve Nichols said he might drop around answer the door.

220
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 6: That's a second.

221
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: Well, hire sugar.

222
00:10:07,039 --> 00:10:09,919
Speaker 2: I beg your pardon, I beg yours.

223
00:10:10,519 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: Is Hollywood hot shot in?

224
00:10:11,919 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 4: Oh?

225
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: Is it?

226
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: Lara?

227
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 5: What?

228
00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 2: Never mind?

229
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: I'll announce myself.

230
00:10:15,919 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 2: Hi am Marlow the devil?

231
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: Are you? We're just an autograph hound?

232
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 2: Get out? I ward, I put my pencil.

233
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,159
Speaker 1: I had it right here.

234
00:10:24,919 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 4: Hey, look at what I found.

235
00:10:26,799 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: Ken, that's the idea of the gun.

236
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:30,039
Speaker 2: You can't say you.

237
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:31,039
Speaker 5: Weren't warn Marlow.

238
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,799
Speaker 2: You're a friend of mine, some dough He told you

239
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:34,399
to get it up.

240
00:10:34,639 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: Since you didn't.

241
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,639
Speaker 2: No, you can't get out of my waist. No, you

242
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:38,399
stop butting in.

243
00:10:38,519 --> 00:10:39,159
Speaker 6: I'm not afraid.

244
00:10:39,159 --> 00:10:40,039
Speaker 2: You don't know what you're doing.

245
00:10:40,159 --> 00:10:40,559
Speaker 6: Yes, I do.

246
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: Look, lady, I got nothing against you. I get out

247
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:42,759
of the way.

248
00:10:42,879 --> 00:10:45,039
Speaker 6: Say what a hero he is, Ken, he's afraid of

249
00:10:45,039 --> 00:10:46,039
a woman half his son.

250
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 8: I'm warning you, baby, if you don't get out of

251
00:10:47,480 --> 00:11:05,159
the way out.

252
00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 2: I thought you have it's me, sergeant.

253
00:11:02,039 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: Well if I think that high flying bird the faulk.

254
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,639
Welcome to our little nest who wrote your material fell

255
00:11:08,639 --> 00:11:12,279
out in California. He works real cheap, he should. So

256
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,960
it was Ken Marlow around to see you this morning. Yeah,

257
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,919
I spotted it for a publicity stunt. That's what I

258
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,120
thought at first too, But I changed my mind. Someone

259
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,519
tried a gun him an hour ago. Obviously they didn't

260
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,840
make it. How do you know, Well, I already talked

261
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,399
to you, mister Marlow. Hey, here's the jacket of the

262
00:11:27,399 --> 00:11:29,759
buller we found in the room. What do you make

263
00:11:29,799 --> 00:11:33,320
of it? It's a blank, that's right, mister Waring, it's

264
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,039
a blank. Marlow is in no danger at all. Well,

265
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,919
I guess that makes me the chump of the year.

266
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,320
I guess it does. Well. I had a little help, Okay, sage,

267
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,120
I'll be seeing you. I got to thank the man

268
00:11:45,159 --> 00:11:58,879
who thought me so deserving at you, Laura, Sorry to

269
00:11:58,919 --> 00:12:03,919
disappoint you. Marlow, you're wearing said no thanks. I just

270
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,679
dropped by to congratulates. You want a magnificent performance?

271
00:12:06,799 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: What's eating you?

272
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: It was a beautiful job of sucking me in. You

273
00:12:10,039 --> 00:12:12,320
were hired. Whoever took that shot at you? You are nuts?

274
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,240
But I can't figure out is how your wife got

275
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,600
in the act. What happens? She had little pot for herself. Hi,

276
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,960
I don't think she knew the bullet was a blank.

277
00:12:20,639 --> 00:12:21,840
You don't rate a gal like that.

278
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 2: You got your nerve get out?

279
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:25,519
Speaker 1: Does that mean I'm fired?

280
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,799
Speaker 2: What do you think good?

281
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: Because I hate to hit a client. Come on, Marlow,

282
00:12:32,519 --> 00:12:34,120
we can't end the scene with you on the floor.

283
00:12:34,159 --> 00:12:36,039
Your public would never stand for it. Now get up

284
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:36,840
and make like a hero.

285
00:12:47,799 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 2: How you Mike?

286
00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:50,279
Speaker 1: Oh? I just not have an expect to see you

287
00:12:50,279 --> 00:12:54,600
again today. You know me always do the unexpected. But

288
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,360
you have to see ken Marlow? Yeah, what happened? Nothing

289
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,000
worth talking about all you're too modern? All right? So

290
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,039
I slapped him a couple of times. He had it coming,

291
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,279
maybe the slaps, but not the rest.

292
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 4: What are you talking about he's dead, Mike, He's what

293
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,559
he's out for all time? Were you wearing brass nuts?

294
00:13:13,799 --> 00:13:18,120
You're crazy? I wish I were better. Get your coat, fella,

295
00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:26,759
I got a long ride ahead.

296
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,879
Speaker 3: An hour has passed since Mike Wearing was informed Ken

297
00:13:39,919 --> 00:13:42,919
Marlowe was dead, and now at the scene of the crime,

298
00:13:43,039 --> 00:13:45,879
Sergeant Corbett gives our hero some fatherly advice.

299
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,279
Speaker 4: Less and Mike, I got it all figured out. I'm

300
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,639
sure you'll be able to cop a plea.

301
00:13:51,759 --> 00:13:54,039
Speaker 1: What are you babbling about? Well, it was self defense,

302
00:13:54,159 --> 00:13:56,279
wasn't it. You didn't mean to kill him and I didn't,

303
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,200
and I left here. He was at the other end

304
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,120
of the room with the back of his head caved in. Well,

305
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,039
let's just hit or But how did it get that way?

306
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,120
I didn't slug him from behind, and he must have

307
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,879
hit it when he fell against what that sofa wouldn't

308
00:14:06,919 --> 00:14:10,000
hurt a fly. How about the fireplace, No, he wasn't

309
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,679
anyone near it. It'd be blood stains if he were.

310
00:14:14,039 --> 00:14:16,559
There must be something around that caused the damage. The

311
00:14:16,639 --> 00:14:22,360
familiar blunt instrument. Yeah, let's see those fire times clean?

312
00:14:23,399 --> 00:14:23,559
Speaker 5: You know?

313
00:14:23,639 --> 00:14:28,919
Speaker 1: How about those book ends? Not a stain on him. Listen, Mike,

314
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,159
maybe the killer took the weapon with him. Does that

315
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,080
mean you're absolving me if we can come up with

316
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,440
some evidence. You think the murderer might have walked off

317
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,759
with it? I doubt it. A lot of blood flowed.

318
00:14:38,919 --> 00:14:41,559
I can't see anyone taking a chance on staining his clothes. Well,

319
00:14:41,559 --> 00:14:43,480
he didn't leave it around for us to find he

320
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,559
Wait a minute, there's something missing in this room. What

321
00:14:48,679 --> 00:14:52,799
and that's just the trouble. I can't I got it? Liquor?

322
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,279
What are you talking about? Marlow was a drinker. A

323
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,639
boy like him would have at least one bottle around. Hey,

324
00:14:57,639 --> 00:15:01,039
you're right, where's the trash basket in the pantry, Well,

325
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,799
let's get it. The killer might gamble. The next time

326
00:15:03,799 --> 00:15:06,120
the chamber made came through, she dumped without a second glance.

327
00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:14,000
He quite a collection. Eh, there's a baby, don't touch it.

328
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,000
I won't. But mine are probably the only thing of

329
00:15:16,039 --> 00:15:18,399
prints that aren't out of everyone else who was up here.

330
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,840
Must have been invited to help himself. Yeah, you're probably right,

331
00:15:21,799 --> 00:15:24,600
A Haskell. Take this down to the lab. Well, now

332
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,279
you're convinced I had nothing to do with this murder. Yeah,

333
00:15:27,399 --> 00:15:29,840
but if you didn't kill Marlowe? Who did? That's what

334
00:15:29,879 --> 00:15:32,480
I intend to find out. Why don't you stay out

335
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,600
of this mine? Oh? No where? But tailored this frame

336
00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:37,639
did a lovely job. It's just lucky I didn't fit

337
00:15:37,679 --> 00:15:39,799
the picture. I can't blame me if I want to

338
00:15:39,799 --> 00:15:40,879
get my hands on the artist.

339
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 7: I tell you, Mike, I don't know anything about it.

340
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,159
First I heard of it was when the cops phoned

341
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,519
me they found Ken's body.

342
00:15:56,919 --> 00:15:59,559
Speaker 1: Whose bright idea was his publicity start in the first place, Steve?

343
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 5: I didn't want any part of it.

344
00:16:01,919 --> 00:16:02,919
Speaker 1: And why did you bring him to me?

345
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 5: I couldn't help myself, Mike. I was working for the man.

346
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,799
Speaker 1: That's another thing I don't understand. How come you tied

347
00:16:08,879 --> 00:16:10,039
up with a heel like Marlowe?

348
00:16:10,159 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 5: The dough was good?

349
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,279
Speaker 1: When did your last get it? According to what I

350
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,679
hear now, he was strictly no pay. When did you

351
00:16:16,679 --> 00:16:20,240
get your last salary check? Come on, Steve, it'll be

352
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,320
easy enough to find.

353
00:16:21,039 --> 00:16:22,559
Speaker 5: Out three months ago.

354
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: Then why did you stick he was on the skin?

355
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 5: No, he wasn't National head till Friday to pick up

356
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:27,720
his option.

357
00:16:28,039 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: You think they would have There is no telling.

358
00:16:29,639 --> 00:16:30,679
Speaker 5: It wasn't even money Bett.

359
00:16:31,399 --> 00:16:32,519
Speaker 1: Oh who had it in for him?

360
00:16:32,919 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 5: No one?

361
00:16:33,679 --> 00:16:36,879
Speaker 1: Look Steve when no longer playing games? The o Judowe,

362
00:16:36,879 --> 00:16:37,759
he must have vote others.

363
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 5: Jackie Howard?

364
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:40,799
Speaker 1: Who's Jackie Howard?

365
00:16:40,799 --> 00:16:42,879
Speaker 5: He owns a gambling joint or the strip? Ken was

366
00:16:42,879 --> 00:16:44,600
into him for around twenty.

367
00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: Grand Is this Howard character in time?

368
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,399
Speaker 5: Yeah? Staying at the Brighton?

369
00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: Okay, we got one suspect. Let's try for two. What

370
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:51,360
about missus Marlowe?

371
00:16:51,519 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 5: Don't talk like a chump.

372
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: She was in love with the guy, and he certainly

373
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:56,279
didn't raid a wife like that.

374
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 5: Nobody does.

375
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: Oh, so like you go for yourself.

376
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,639
Speaker 5: Oh, don't be silly. You know I'm married.

377
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: I suppose you feel like a big brother to her.

378
00:17:06,519 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 5: That's exactly how I feel.

379
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:11,759
Speaker 1: You know something, Steve, I believe you. Thanks, No, I

380
00:17:11,839 --> 00:17:15,119
mean it. I think Laura explains why you continued working

381
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,240
for Marlone. Maybe that's why you knock yourself out, suppressing

382
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,559
those items that would have ruined them. You didn't want

383
00:17:20,599 --> 00:17:22,960
her hurt, right, Yeah, why.

384
00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 5: Steve, it won't make any sense to you.

385
00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: Like, Oh, try me.

386
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 5: First day I met her, she reminded me of Edith. Edith,

387
00:17:28,799 --> 00:17:32,200
my kid's sister. She was married to a boy like Ken, and.

388
00:17:32,079 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: What happened to her?

389
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 5: She's dead?

390
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: Oh?

391
00:17:34,279 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 5: Sorry, maybe she's better off.

392
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:37,799
Speaker 1: So are you transferred your feeling to Laura?

393
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:38,799
Speaker 5: Anything wrong with it?

394
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 2: No?

395
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: I think it's very commendable. So I wonder how Laura

396
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:42,920
feels about it?

397
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 5: Huh?

398
00:17:43,279 --> 00:17:44,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, why don't I find out?

399
00:17:44,559 --> 00:17:46,559
Speaker 5: Oh look, Mike, you're not to bother her.

400
00:17:46,599 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 2: She knows nothing about Ken's murder.

401
00:17:48,559 --> 00:17:50,839
Speaker 1: Well, I've only got your word for it, Steve. Not

402
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,839
that I don't believe you understand, But I'd like to

403
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,559
text these things for myself. I'll be seeing you, fella.

404
00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 6: Who is it?

405
00:18:05,559 --> 00:18:06,799
Speaker 1: I'd like to say, Laura Marlow.

406
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 6: There's no one here by that name.

407
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: I know there is. This is Mike wearing missus Marlon.

408
00:18:12,039 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 6: Please go away.

409
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: I got to talk to you.

410
00:18:14,759 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 4: Leave me.

411
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,839
Speaker 1: I wouldn't disturb you, but it's important.

412
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:19,839
Speaker 6: Come in.

413
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:20,599
Speaker 1: Thanks.

414
00:18:22,279 --> 00:18:23,279
Speaker 6: How do you know I was here?

415
00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: Sergeant Corbett told me I just saw Steve.

416
00:18:27,279 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 6: Nichols and Steve sent you here.

417
00:18:29,799 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: No, as a matter of fact, he insisted I leave

418
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:31,799
you alone.

419
00:18:32,519 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 6: Where'd you come?

420
00:18:33,599 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: Because I want to solve your husband's murder.

421
00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 6: Can meant nothing to you.

422
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,319
Speaker 1: He was a client, He tricked you. I still took

423
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,960
his money. It's I whoever killed him involved me. I

424
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,680
don't forget things like that. I'll tell me what sort

425
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,279
of a man was your husband? You must have some idea, yes,

426
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:51,720
but I like the woman's viewpoints.

427
00:18:52,839 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 6: It was wonderful.

428
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,039
Speaker 1: Oh come now, Angel, you can't expect me to buy that.

429
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 6: I don't care what you heard. Sorry, took a drink

430
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,680
once in a while. Is there anything wrong with it?

431
00:19:03,079 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: What about slapping you around?

432
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:04,839
Speaker 6: He never did.

433
00:19:05,559 --> 00:19:08,319
Speaker 1: You can't blame me for jumping to conclusions. But take

434
00:19:08,319 --> 00:19:10,240
a blind man not to notice those bruises on your

435
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,839
face and arm? How did you get him? I feel

436
00:19:14,559 --> 00:19:18,160
the question is that ken push you? How dear you look,

437
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,160
missus Marlow. I don't mean to be obnoxious, but we've

438
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,160
been a murder to solve. Did your husband play around

439
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:23,759
on the outside?

440
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 4: No?

441
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: What about those stories?

442
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 6: Why is every one of them? He was started by

443
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:28,519
his enemies.

444
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: Oh so he was just a misunderstood kid.

445
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,799
Speaker 6: I understood him and that's all it counted.

446
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,319
Speaker 1: All right, missus Marlone, I think you're telling the truth.

447
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:39,799
Speaker 6: I'm overwhelmed.

448
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,079
Speaker 1: You should be, because if Jackie Howard doesn't turn out

449
00:19:42,079 --> 00:19:44,160
to be a liar, I won't know what to do.

450
00:19:45,079 --> 00:19:47,160
Take care of yourself, Angel and I got to run along.

451
00:20:00,079 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 4: Graft back your hard nineteen Please tell Graham Jackie Hard.

452
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:04,799
Speaker 2: Right here by.

453
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 1: Hello, Jackie, my name is Mike Waring.

454
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:09,839
Speaker 2: What's the idea?

455
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:11,559
Speaker 1: Well, this is the only way I can think of

456
00:20:11,599 --> 00:20:14,359
to get acquainted. I'd like to talk to you about

457
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,160
Ken Marlowe. You're a portter, no private detective. We are

458
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,720
representing myself. I understand Marlow wasn't huck to you.

459
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 2: Well, I understand that from you.

460
00:20:25,279 --> 00:20:26,079
Speaker 1: Might holding that match.

461
00:20:27,759 --> 00:20:30,519
Speaker 2: Thanks who told you Marlow was into me?

462
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,079
Speaker 1: Steve Nichols?

463
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,759
Speaker 2: Well, I got a flash for Steve. Marlow took care

464
00:20:35,759 --> 00:20:37,200
of those I used this morning.

465
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: I don't see how he owed you nineteen grand. According

466
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:42,799
to the police, he had only eight hundred bucks in

467
00:20:42,839 --> 00:20:43,559
his checking account.

468
00:20:43,599 --> 00:20:45,759
Speaker 2: He paid me in cash.

469
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: Got it out of his mattress.

470
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 2: I suppose, well, now that you mention it, I believe

471
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:48,480
he did.

472
00:20:49,599 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: You know, Jackie, you are a welcome changed from everybody

473
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,680
else in this case, am I? Yeah? They were telling

474
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:54,160
the truth.

475
00:20:54,799 --> 00:20:56,559
Speaker 2: Suppose I showed you the money.

476
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: Well, you probably could. Boy like you always travels well heeled,

477
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:01,799
But can you prove it? Came from Allow.

478
00:21:02,279 --> 00:21:05,319
Speaker 2: Well, let's look at it another way. Can you prove

479
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:05,799
it didn't.

480
00:21:06,279 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: If I can, it'll make you a choice.

481
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 2: Suspect, you're no worrying. There's one thing I don't like

482
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,599
about New York. There must be something in the air

483
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,559
that makes everybody run off at the mouth.

484
00:21:15,839 --> 00:21:18,079
Speaker 1: No, I suppose it's different on the coast, while we

485
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,000
have a special treatment for those who do. I'd like

486
00:21:21,039 --> 00:21:21,440
to see it.

487
00:21:21,799 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 2: I'll have to discuss it first with a fellow Californian.

488
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:44,279
But uh, don't be discouraged. I'll get back to you. Yes, Hellostan.

489
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 7: Oh, hie, Jackie, I thought by now you would be

490
00:21:47,519 --> 00:21:48,640
on your way back to the coast.

491
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 2: You thought wrong. Same, you got yourself a nice little spot.

492
00:21:54,599 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 7: Look, Jackie, I don't want to seem rude, but I

493
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:58,200
was just on my way.

494
00:21:58,079 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 5: Out or relax.

495
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 2: I won't stay long. Too bad about Canaan? Yeah, what

496
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:04,880
do you think killed him?

497
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 5: I have no idea.

498
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 2: Oh you must have, Steve, you're a bright boy. No,

499
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,119
maybe a ride now, I had you pegged as a

500
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,920
kind who kept his nose clean. And don't I not

501
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,400
my book? Why don't you tell Mike Wearing that Mollo

502
00:22:20,519 --> 00:22:24,039
owed me money, and he asked me, you're the real

503
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,119
helpful type, aren't you.

504
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 5: I do my best.

505
00:22:26,839 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 2: Sometimes it doesn't pain. People don't appreciate it. What's the

506
00:22:34,759 --> 00:22:38,759
matter of boy? Can't you catch your bread dirty? Maybe

507
00:22:38,759 --> 00:22:42,440
that's a good thing. You talk too much anyway, Little

508
00:22:42,599 --> 00:22:46,559
Doc Howard's treatment may break the habit. O home still, Steve,

509
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,799
I'm afraid this is gonna hurt.

510
00:23:12,519 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 3: Two hours have passed since Steve Nichols received a little

511
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:19,000
of Jackie Howard's specialized treatment, and now in Steve's hotel room,

512
00:23:19,039 --> 00:23:20,839
we find him recuperating from the visit.

513
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 6: Where's the doctor? You sure you gave him the right

514
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:24,480
room number.

515
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: Take it easy, Laura, he'll be here all right, Steve,

516
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,920
try some of this. Come on, it's good for what

517
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:30,839
ails you?

518
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 5: Mike.

519
00:23:31,559 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: Don't talk, Just drink it down.

520
00:23:34,279 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 5: I'm all right. How did you find me?

521
00:23:37,319 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: She called me?

522
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:38,559
Speaker 6: How do you feel?

523
00:23:39,599 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 2: Laura here?

524
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 6: Raise your head off, fix the pillow.

525
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 5: You're duh?

526
00:23:44,559 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: Who did it? Steve? Who gave you the shillaking?

527
00:23:48,039 --> 00:23:48,519
Speaker 5: I don't know?

528
00:23:48,759 --> 00:23:50,279
Speaker 1: Come on, Steve, you can't hold out.

529
00:23:50,839 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 6: Must you question him now?

530
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm afraid I must. This is all tied up

531
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,400
with your husband's murder. But Jackie Howard wasn't it?

532
00:23:58,640 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 5: Yes?

533
00:23:59,319 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: Why did he do it? I have no idea you

534
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,200
know anything that would definitely mark him as Marlow's killer?

535
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 5: No?

536
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: You sure, Steve anything at all? Think of the thing

537
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,680
you've got to It's our only chance of making this

538
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:10,599
come out the way we want.

539
00:24:10,799 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 6: I don't understand.

540
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: Well, Jackie must have felt he had good reason to

541
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,359
give Steve that beating. What do you mean, well, you

542
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:18,880
don't feel Laura killed her husband?

543
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,559
Speaker 5: Who? Now? Look, Mike, I told you, I.

544
00:24:21,519 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: Take it you don't. So that brings us back to

545
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,119
Jackie again. Now, what would be his motive in killing Marlowe?

546
00:24:26,839 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 5: Well? Ken hold him money?

547
00:24:29,279 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: How could he be sure Mala wouldn't raise it?

548
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 6: Ken couldn't.

549
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: We were broke, But you would have been an easy

550
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,359
street if national picked up his option. I don't think

551
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,200
they would still where there's life this hope. You told

552
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,400
me they had to let twenty third. Today is the eighteenth,

553
00:24:41,559 --> 00:24:44,519
So so Jackie would be sucker not to wait it out.

554
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 6: What are you getting here?

555
00:24:46,599 --> 00:24:48,839
Speaker 1: Well, if neither you nor Jackie killed your husband, who

556
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:55,559
does that leave? I don't know, Yes you do it's Steve? No, Yes,

557
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,160
that's why Howard gave him that pasting. He felt Steve

558
00:24:58,200 --> 00:24:59,960
cost him nineteen grand I don't believe it.

559
00:25:01,279 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 6: You didn't do it, Stee, tell me, tell me. I

560
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:06,720
gotta know.

561
00:25:08,519 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 5: He's right, Laura?

562
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 6: Why why? I can never hurt you?

563
00:25:15,759 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 5: No, but he hurts you.

564
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,039
Speaker 6: He was the only man I ever loved, and you

565
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:20,680
killed him.

566
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:29,039
Speaker 5: Don't you see, honey? I was Laura? Mike explains it.

567
00:25:29,279 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: I can't. He was no good and she loved him.

568
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:51,319
I'm sorry, Steve, I've gotta call the police.

569
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,559
Speaker 4: What do you say, Mike? Some more coffee? No thanks, sir,

570
00:25:55,799 --> 00:25:58,119
I come on, come on, cheer it up. What are

571
00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:58,880
you dragon for?

572
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: You must have some idea. Steve Nichols was my friend

573
00:26:02,319 --> 00:26:05,319
and he committed a murder. There's no question about that.

574
00:26:06,279 --> 00:26:09,920
Tell me something. Was he in love with Laura? If

575
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,400
he was, he was able to kid himself in the

576
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,440
believing it was strictly platonic. He thought marlow was hard

577
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,759
timing her. Only was right now he Wasn't you mean?

578
00:26:17,799 --> 00:26:20,839
There was nothing to those stories about Marlowe playing around.

579
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,960
Oh they were true enough, but they didn't mean a

580
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,920
thing to Laura. She was in love with him, and

581
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,279
that's all that counted. This goes to prove it's awful,

582
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,359
dangerous to play God. You never know what's best for

583
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:31,960
other people.
