Speaker 16: I may call it do the next few days. Isness

173
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,720
that purely social if you don't mind Ms. Thomers, not

00:12:23,879 --> 00:12:38,960
at all right, m d.

175
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,639
Speaker 2: He fell for two thousand and ten a perfect trick.

176
00:12:42,919 --> 00:12:45,279
They saw that little violet hung hung out like a

177
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:45,840
hound dog.

178
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 6: A million bucks, he thought, right under his nose, and

179
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:49,919
he hadn't known it.

180
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 2: Jones behind it on the road car following.

181
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 6: Then the one is rod Riggers.

182
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,039
Speaker 2: Following to see where we go with a bottle.

183
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,039
Speaker 6: Maybe find out if we really are counted five or not?

184
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 2: You think he was putting on an at that he's

185
00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:11,320
clever enough.

186
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 6: To oh swear he thought that he was really sick.

187
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:16,720
Lucky those drugs you gave petty full of the doctor.

188
00:13:19,519 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 2: I thing to do now, but get back to the

189
00:13:21,279 --> 00:13:23,639
guns placing to see what's happened.

190
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 7: With guns handy and back to the wall I caught

191
00:13:27,759 --> 00:13:32,600
to following. Maybe Rodriguez will pay that social call of

192
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:38,000
his right away. He felt for you, odd he noticed

193
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,759
you and I don't get along. I'm betting he makes

194
00:13:41,799 --> 00:13:45,240
a try for this little while. He won't stop at anything,

195
00:13:45,279 --> 00:13:46,360
and he things can get away with it.

196
00:13:47,679 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 6: He may start several times.

197
00:14:06,759 --> 00:14:08,879
Speaker 2: If you neither go away or come in. I don't

198
00:14:08,919 --> 00:14:09,679
like to suspense.

199
00:14:09,919 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 6: He may shoot. Stay away from the windows.

200
00:14:12,519 --> 00:14:13,759
Speaker 2: Can't we pull something on them?

201
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 6: You might? Yeah, let's try what Yeah, no suitcase is

202
00:14:19,399 --> 00:14:21,639
not packing as if we're leaving. Maybe that'll have the

203
00:14:21,679 --> 00:14:22,360
limited actions.

204
00:14:22,679 --> 00:14:26,639
Speaker 2: I'm trying my bags in the closet, Hella.

205
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,559
Speaker 6: I think if we drive the rest of the night,

206
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,080
we can make our pasta by daylight.

207
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:30,919

208
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:36,279

00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,720
beef peace. You know, it's the dawn game. We got

210
00:14:40,759 --> 00:14:43,240
that call to leave so soon. I like to surprise.

211
00:14:45,519 --> 00:14:47,519
Speaker 6: M Now we find out the worst.

212
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:59,799
Speaker 5: I'll go, Oh, hello, mister Redriguez, come in for go?

213
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,759
Do you forgive this an effected visit sooner than I

214
00:15:02,919 --> 00:15:06,879

215
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 2: Look, he hasn't haven't I changed in the last two hours.

216
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 6: Packing?

217
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,799
Speaker 5: Mister Jones, I understood you were saying some days more. Well,

218
00:15:18,039 --> 00:15:18,960
we got a hurry call.

219
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 6: Always gives me no time to cultivate the acquaintance of missus.

220
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 2: I'll come back someday. Mister.

221
00:15:26,879 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 11: Perhaps you are not even leaving, either of you one.

222
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:37,240
You are not United States counters fires. You yourselves are

223
00:15:37,279 --> 00:15:39,240
the thieves. Of that urania material.

224
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 6: Mister, you're all wrong. Further, you yourselves intensive selling.

225
00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 2: We don't know anybody with a million dollars. Never let

226
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:48,159
me talk, miss.

227
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,159
Speaker 6: Suppose you did know someone with a million dollars. We're

228
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,320
American agents, Rodriguez. You are not. You're a pair of crooks.

229
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,039
Now suppose that vile contains the uranium compound and you

230
00:16:03,159 --> 00:16:07,399
knew someone with a million and a hump.

231
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:10,759
Speaker 16: Dollars.

232
00:16:11,919 --> 00:16:18,519
Speaker 6: Wow, that strength up, fella. Go ahead, Arigus. Can you

233
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,919
prove it as the rear uranium compound. Let's say we couldn't.

234
00:16:24,159 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 11: Then in three days I can raise a million and

235
00:16:26,679 --> 00:16:30,879
a half cash American dollars.

236
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,279
Speaker 6: And then you'll resell the material abroad for ten million.

237
00:16:35,759 --> 00:16:36,879
That would be my risk.

238
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 7: Take the deal, chanty, Okay, Redrigus, we'll prove it's the

239
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,240
uranium compound. Six drops plus certain other ingredients can be

240
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,000
set off by a capitat fuse.

241
00:16:50,639 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 6: Uranium is not.

242
00:16:51,559 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 7: Set off that way. I told you this is a

243
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,919
new secret development. It can be used dozens of ways.

244
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,840
It will show me. Now if I let you know

245
00:17:01,879 --> 00:17:03,679
where the stuff is in our lives when they were

246
00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:11,480

00:17:25,759 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 6: You it shall come from me, missus.

254

I tell the Mexican police that you left him in

256
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,960

257
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 6: You are both very clever. Good night.

258
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 3: Back to Counterspy and just a moment, but first test.

259
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,839
Speaker 5: Collars take the spots, two four glasses, that's the.

260
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 6: Lost lots more value, that's more debt. Why take less

261
00:18:10,279 --> 00:18:11,480
when Pepsi's that's.

262
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:12,000

00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,720
no budgets, no allowance ever had a better friend than

266
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,960
tangy sparkling pets Cola. Because one big twelve out Pepsi

267
00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:30,480
bottle gives you two delicious drinks that's twice as much

268
00:18:30,559 --> 00:18:34,119
tangy taste twice as much delicious, Pepsi to go just

Speaker 4: I know.

378
00:26:12,839 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 2: I cut the light and telephone right when I left

379
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,920
the candle. Yes, yes, there's one beside. You're on a piano.

380
00:26:20,079 --> 00:26:20,279
Speaker 7: Ah.

381
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 6: Yes, our friends mister will live, don't you lie? But

382
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:36,200
not very much alive now the Uranium Company. I know

383
00:26:36,279 --> 00:26:37,279
where I couldn't get it.

384
00:26:37,599 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 2: It's the moment.

385
00:26:41,519 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 6: Hidden behind a picture on the wall. What an obvious place.

386
00:26:45,759 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 2: It would say. You're the only one that even knew

387
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,880
we had nothing. I have it here. That's how you

388
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:52,359
handle it.

389
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 6: Now to arrange matters for you, you.

390
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 11: Will leave all your clothes here except what you actually need.

391
00:27:02,279 --> 00:27:04,599
From the shallow grave of a woman I had to

392
00:27:06,279 --> 00:27:09,599
dispose of not far from here, I won't do.

393
00:27:11,559 --> 00:27:11,599
Speaker 19: It.

394
00:27:11,839 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 21: Was enough mind being impersonated by the bones of a

395
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:15,880
dead woman.

396
00:27:16,839 --> 00:27:21,279
Speaker 10: I don't see it, and we will Manster split up

397
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:26,799

on my vans until we go to Europe.

403
00:27:39,599 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 6: Secretly, that's out the finnicopment for John.

404
00:27:43,079 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 21: Kill him before you set the fire, of course without

00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,079

00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,559
Speaker 6: Fine, only tired and lying on the floor.

412
00:28:07,279 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 5: Meet mister Jones. Oh let's call him Harry Peters, my assistant.

413
00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 6: But you'll have no evidence. No one will have to

414
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,119
speak again. You're a murderer.

415
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 5: You kept people silent by peer. The guvernment and narcotics

416
00:28:18,279 --> 00:28:21,119
runners who worked for you were afraid to talk. Now

417
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:22,799
that you're on to a rusbe will be free to

418
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:23,880
tell everything they know.

419
00:28:24,079 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 10: By the way, mister hard and here's the uranium that

420
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,640
talk he earned that la let him keeep it.

421
00:28:29,839 --> 00:28:32,759
Speaker 5: It's only a few cents full of harmless powder. I'm sorry,

422
00:28:33,599 --> 00:28:36,839
but illegal possession of uranium is the one charge.

423
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 6: We can't hang on you.

424
00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 3: When you'll find the drop in be generous, fussy thrifty two.

431
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,200
Whenever you read for refreshment, remember.

432
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:27,160

00:29:31,359 --> 00:29:35,839
same station to Counterspy was next Tuesday for the exciting

435
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,200
counter spy case of a bouncing bank robber.

436
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 5: The quick shooting intruder who power plants through a place

437
00:29:44,119 --> 00:29:48,839
glass window, the ferry boat that swistled a sling message

438
00:29:49,359 --> 00:29:53,400
about the passenger who had jumped overboard, and the roller

439

coaster in reverse that carry the killer who was beyond

440
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:02,799
the electric care next to these counterpy gmes, so'll be

441
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:03,720
sure to listen.

442
00:30:03,799 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 3: Case of a bouncing bank robber on Counterspy. The night's

443
00:30:17,039 --> 00:30:20,839
Counterspy program, originated in New York, was directed by William M.

444
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,880
Sweet and featured Don McLaughlin and Mandelle Kramer with music

445
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,880
by Testy Crawford. Counterspy is a Phillip States Lord production

446
00:30:29,039 --> 00:30:33,519
for Pets Coola. Enjoy Some Pepsy, Ice, Cold Tonight.

447
00:31:15,119 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: Welcome Back. I love the counter Spy gives us these

448
00:31:19,759 --> 00:31:25,759
good sting stories where they are laying traps for criminals.

449
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,559
And it's also nice to get a story that is

450
00:31:28,839 --> 00:31:34,839
much more Peter's driven and Peters centered, because that does

451
00:31:35,039 --> 00:31:40,240
feel more like how a real life agency like Counterspo

452
00:31:40,359 --> 00:31:43,039
should work. You know, you didn't have j Edgar Hoover,

453
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,000
you know, running all of the FBI's cases during this time,

454
00:31:48,279 --> 00:31:50,400
which is kind of the equivalent of what we have

455
00:31:50,559 --> 00:31:54,799
in so many episodes of Counterspy. And even then, David

456
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,759
Harding still is probably taking a bit of a bigger

457
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:02,759
role than Hoover or even some higher ranking like special

458
00:32:02,839 --> 00:32:07,519
agents in charge Wood. But Harding remains such a solid

459
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:13,599
planner that you can understand why he essentially had counterstoff

460
00:32:13,839 --> 00:32:18,240
by agents pretend to be criminals pretending to be Counterspy agents.

461
00:32:18,519 --> 00:32:22,319
Kramer definitely is able to carry the material, and you

462
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,119
do see the makings of how he became such an

463
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:31,079
important leading man in the closing days of the Golden

464
00:32:31,119 --> 00:32:34,440
Age of radio. Now it's time to thank our Patreon
