16
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:29.719
<v Speaker 1>Not Bait and Well, I'll admit to being a little

17
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:32.359
<v Speaker 1>bit unsure on the providence of it. I will go

18
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:35.239
<v Speaker 1>ahead and play it and we'll talk about it afterwards.

19
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:39.319
<v Speaker 1>The original air date is July the thirteenth, nineteen fifty one,

20
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:41.840
<v Speaker 1>and this one is Anton's return.

21
00:01:45.400 --> 00:02:06.920
<v Speaker 2>Nights eight.

22
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:01.439
<v Speaker 3>Hi.

23
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.200
<v Speaker 4>This is Randy Stone. I cover the night Beat for

24
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 4>the Chicago Star. Stories start in many different ways. This

25
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:24.639
<v Speaker 4>one began on an elevated train and ended in eternity.

26
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.560
<v Speaker 5>Night Beat, starring Fik love Joy as Ramby Stone.

27
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:37.479
<v Speaker 6>The night is just about washed up.

28
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:40.840
<v Speaker 4>The sky is getting that tattletale gray around the edges.

29
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.560
<v Speaker 4>Another hour or so, three million alarm clocks will start

30
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.840
<v Speaker 4>yacking against the air drums of Chicago's.

31
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:48.639
<v Speaker 6>Dear hearts and gentle people.

32
00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.319
<v Speaker 4>A goodly number have said, dear hearts and gentle people

33
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:54.479
<v Speaker 4>will stumbled at the front door for they copy of

34
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.479
<v Speaker 4>the Morning Star. I'm wondering what they'll say when they

35
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:01.560
<v Speaker 4>read the opening sentence of night Beat story for Today,

36
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:05.280
<v Speaker 4>the line that goes, this is a love story with

37
00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:06.719
<v Speaker 4>the happiest ending.

38
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:07.280
<v Speaker 6>I've ever heard.

39
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:10.400
<v Speaker 4>I guess they'll think his spring has got me in

40
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:13.560
<v Speaker 4>its perfume clutches, And more than likely I'll wind up

41
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:14.080
<v Speaker 4>around the.

42
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:15.719
<v Speaker 6>Blogonney Sandwich and that'll be that.

43
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:20.120
<v Speaker 4>Only if they just keep reading, maybe they'll be in

44
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:26.759
<v Speaker 4>for a strange kind of surprise. It started a little

45
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:30.280
<v Speaker 4>after ten o'clock last night. I just boarded an elevated

46
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:31.800
<v Speaker 4>train and was on my way to the loop.

47
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Speaker 6>The train was pretty crowded, but I.

48
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.240
<v Speaker 4>Saw on it the seed up front, and I hurried

49
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.719
<v Speaker 4>for it. I started sitting down without.

50
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:42.439
<v Speaker 6>Looking at Tom. Where have you been? I beg your pardon.

51
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:46.840
<v Speaker 7>Oh, I've waited for long and Tom the girls sitting

52
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:47.400
<v Speaker 7>next to me.

53
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:49.680
<v Speaker 6>I noticed her for the first time.

54
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:54.840
<v Speaker 4>About twenty maybe, and so beautiful, so delicately beautiful.

55
00:03:54.879 --> 00:03:56.919
<v Speaker 6>It was like your eyes. It hit the jackpot, and.

56
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:01.560
<v Speaker 4>Somehow the grinding elevator train suddenly sounded like a gypsy violin.

57
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:04.800
<v Speaker 3>You shouldn't have gone away.

58
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:07.719
<v Speaker 4>Look, I hate to tell you this, but I think

59
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:08.759
<v Speaker 4>you've got me mixed up.

60
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.319
<v Speaker 3>It's so good to hear you, to be near you,

61
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:12.520
<v Speaker 3>and Ton so good.

62
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:16.519
<v Speaker 6>Yes, it's good to be near you too. Kid. Won't

63
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.639
<v Speaker 6>ever go away again, will you. I'd like to stay

64
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.759
<v Speaker 6>here forever, coms me.

65
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:24.040
<v Speaker 3>You'll never go away.

66
00:04:27.319 --> 00:04:29.920
<v Speaker 4>Beautiful as she was, and started giving me the crease.

67
00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 4>If i'd been Anton, i've enjoyed it immensely, But being

68
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:37.680
<v Speaker 4>as how I was two other guys, I didn't see it. Also,

69
00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:40.639
<v Speaker 4>there was something about her eyes a disturbing brightness. I

70
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:42.199
<v Speaker 4>didn't know what to do about it, and before I

71
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:45.240
<v Speaker 4>could decided, I reached my transfer station.

72
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:51.839
<v Speaker 6>I started getting up. Lady, look, it's my station. I

73
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:54.319
<v Speaker 6>take it easy. I talk me, what's wrong with you?

74
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:55.079
<v Speaker 6>This is my stake.

75
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:59.920
<v Speaker 8>I'll you'll just have to kid, and I'll like, go

76
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:00.519
<v Speaker 8>my son.

77
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:08.160
<v Speaker 4>She folded up like a little rag doll, and there

78
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:10.720
<v Speaker 4>were dead faint. I bent over a picked up her arm.

79
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.240
<v Speaker 4>The massage your wrist was like touching a hot stove.

80
00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:16.560
<v Speaker 4>She was burning up with fever. Passengers in the car

81
00:05:16.600 --> 00:05:19.000
<v Speaker 4>were crowding around. The conductor still hadn't given the signal

82
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:21.279
<v Speaker 4>for the train to leave the station. I picked the

83
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:23.199
<v Speaker 4>girl up in my arms, who was like lifting a

84
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.199
<v Speaker 4>ten year old kid. She must have weighed a fast

85
00:05:25.279 --> 00:05:28.240
<v Speaker 4>ninety pounds. I carried her out of the train under

86
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.360
<v Speaker 4>the platform. Someone called for an ambulance. She was still

87
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.120
<v Speaker 4>unconscious when the ambulance came. She looked so small and

88
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:36.199
<v Speaker 4>so lost, and so.

89
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.040
<v Speaker 6>Alone and well.

90
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:42.279
<v Speaker 4>According to her, I was Anton, so the least Anton

91
00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:44.560
<v Speaker 4>could do would be to sit beside her on the

92
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:45.800
<v Speaker 4>long ride to the hospital.

93
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:48.040
<v Speaker 6>She was still out cold.

94
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:50.920
<v Speaker 4>When we reached County Hospital, they found her name and

95
00:05:51.079 --> 00:05:52.439
<v Speaker 4>address inside her purse.

96
00:05:53.800 --> 00:05:55.319
<v Speaker 6>This is Mauritia Noek.

97
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:58.800
<v Speaker 4>Six one two Larabee Street. I waited around to see

98
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.399
<v Speaker 4>what was wrong with it. After almost an hour, they

99
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:03.000
<v Speaker 4>said I could go upstairs.

100
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:03.439
<v Speaker 6>And talk to the doctor.

101
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.360
<v Speaker 4>Oh yes, doctor, I want to see about that girl.

102
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:14.120
<v Speaker 4>I brought in Marisha, and I like, yes, relative of yours?

103
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:15.199
<v Speaker 4>Oh no, no, I just met her.

104
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:15.639
<v Speaker 3>I know.

105
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.439
<v Speaker 8>I'm afraid we've got the contact somewherelative right away.

106
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:19.959
<v Speaker 6>Nothing you can do for her?

107
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:22.240
<v Speaker 8>Do for her for a kid's been sick for years,

108
00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:24.480
<v Speaker 8>and wait till she's dying before she comes to a hospital.

109
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.199
<v Speaker 6>It takes money to go to the hospital down not here.

110
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.000
<v Speaker 8>Why didn't she come here? It's wrong with these people?

111
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:31.160
<v Speaker 8>Are they proud of stupid?

112
00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:34.040
<v Speaker 6>Three years ago, maybe we could have done something for her.

113
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:37.600
<v Speaker 6>But now, Oh yeah, I don't know, mister s Tone,

114
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:40.560
<v Speaker 6>I don't know. It's it's completely frustrating. You study medicine,

115
00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:43.639
<v Speaker 6>What good does it do? Sometimes life doesn't seem to

116
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:45.959
<v Speaker 6>make any sense. Since one is it supposed to make sense?

117
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:48.199
<v Speaker 6>I sound like this is my first patient.

118
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:53.040
<v Speaker 8>Not very professional, I'm afraid, but don't worry about it.

119
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:57.279
<v Speaker 6>It's human. Now. This girl keeps talking about her husband Anton. Well,

120
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:58.680
<v Speaker 6>she was talking that way when I met her. He

121
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.120
<v Speaker 6>is he's supposed to take her away some place to Mexico.

122
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.399
<v Speaker 8>She says, well, it's warm and she'll get well what

123
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:05.000
<v Speaker 8>they expect miracles?

124
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:08.560
<v Speaker 6>No sure miracles. Maybe Mexico is going to be her miracle.

125
00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:11.160
<v Speaker 8>Do you have any idea how to contact her husband?

126
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:13.040
<v Speaker 6>Doesn't a girl know where he is?

127
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.680
<v Speaker 8>Doesn't seem to even when she's not delirious. Got an address?

128
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:20.839
<v Speaker 8>Workers a place over on Larabee Street, north of Chicago Avenue.

129
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:22.279
<v Speaker 6>Yes, I know that neighborhood.

130
00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:25.639
<v Speaker 8>Furnished rooms with kitchen privileges, bring your own mass trans lovely,

131
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:30.480
<v Speaker 8>no phone listing. I was thinking of calling the police. Yeah,

132
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.319
<v Speaker 8>trouble is there so little time? How much time I

133
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:36.079
<v Speaker 8>don't know? Could happen five minutes from now?

134
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:39.680
<v Speaker 6>Five hours? Well, i'll tell you what.

135
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:41.639
<v Speaker 4>I'll drop by her address and see what I can

136
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:44.480
<v Speaker 4>find out.

137
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:49.480
<v Speaker 6>All right, nurse, care to see your mister storm? Yeah?

138
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:52.160
<v Speaker 4>The doc turned and walked into the room, and I, well,

139
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:55.120
<v Speaker 4>I follow him. That's a nice promising beginning for a

140
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:59.120
<v Speaker 4>love story with a happy ending. Only when we got

141
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.800
<v Speaker 4>inside Mauritia and no X room, the joke was on me.

142
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.519
<v Speaker 6>There was no hearts and flowers.

143
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:08.560
<v Speaker 4>She was even more beautiful than before, her black hair

144
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:10.959
<v Speaker 4>spread out on a white pillow, her delicate face, and

145
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.439
<v Speaker 4>the lovely eyes following us as we came into the room.

146
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:17.839
<v Speaker 4>No fear in those eyes, none at all, just a

147
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:22.160
<v Speaker 4>sort of questioning. Doctor found him yet not yet, Mauritia

148
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:25.480
<v Speaker 4>was still trying. This is mister Stone. He's trying to

149
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:26.680
<v Speaker 4>help us locate your husband.

150
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:31.439
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I hope you find him, poor Anton. You feel

151
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:32.679
<v Speaker 3>so bad if you don't find.

152
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:34.600
<v Speaker 8>Him in time, of course, he well, that's why the

153
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:36.240
<v Speaker 8>doctor would like you to tell me anything you can,

154
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:37.559
<v Speaker 8>and I'd help us find him.

155
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:40.759
<v Speaker 3>But I told the doctor he went to find work

156
00:08:40.879 --> 00:08:43.879
<v Speaker 3>my Anton, so he could take me away where I

157
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.840
<v Speaker 3>could get well, could be a wife to him.

158
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.080
<v Speaker 6>There's a bother you to talk as it, Tirant.

159
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:53.279
<v Speaker 3>No, no, I like talking about him. And there's so

160
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:54.159
<v Speaker 3>little time.

161
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:57.399
<v Speaker 6>Doctor said, you were planning on going to Mexico.

162
00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:01.360
<v Speaker 3>To Las Flories, little town of flowers and very cruise.

163
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:06.600
<v Speaker 3>My ring is from Mexico. See silver and turquoise.

164
00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:07.480
<v Speaker 6>Nice.

165
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:12.879
<v Speaker 3>We were married with two rings exactly a life silver

166
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:13.679
<v Speaker 3>and turquoise.

167
00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:16.679
<v Speaker 6>You think Anton could have gone there to Mexico.

168
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:21.240
<v Speaker 3>No, no, we'd never have gone there without me, the

169
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:25.399
<v Speaker 3>little town of the flowers, like we planned on our honeymoon,

170
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:30.399
<v Speaker 3>just like it said in the travel folder, thousands of

171
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:35.559
<v Speaker 3>blossoms on the water for a fuming years. But we

172
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:38.320
<v Speaker 3>went to a real hotel here in Chicago and our honeymoon.

173
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:44.320
<v Speaker 3>Anton insisted on it, even though we couldn't afford it.

174
00:09:44.320 --> 00:09:46.480
<v Speaker 3>It was in the winter, and it was cold in

175
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:51.559
<v Speaker 3>Chicago like now. Icicles hung from the trees, breaking the branches.

176
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.080
<v Speaker 3>But in the room it was war and we had

177
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:56.840
<v Speaker 3>each other.

178
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:03.559
<v Speaker 6>Look out the window.

179
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.559
<v Speaker 9>Mauritia, you know, I've never seen the lake from up

180
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:09.559
<v Speaker 9>high in the beautiful and I'm so.

181
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:14.200
<v Speaker 3>Happy, And toon, wasn't it extravagant coming here to a hotel.

182
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:17.320
<v Speaker 3>I'd have been just as satisfied going straight to our.

183
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:21.159
<v Speaker 6>Room on Laravie Street. No, Mauritia, not on our honeymoon.

184
00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:22.759
<v Speaker 6>We left time enough for that.

185
00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:26.720
<v Speaker 9>How could you possibly imagine anything beautiful from a furnished

186
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:28.000
<v Speaker 9>room on Laravie.

187
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:29.759
<v Speaker 6>Street, Darling. But here this is different.

188
00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:33.399
<v Speaker 9>It's more than a hotel room in Chicago overlooking the lake.

189
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:38.320
<v Speaker 9>This is what we've dreamed of. Imagine, It's less Florish. Yeah,

190
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:42.720
<v Speaker 9>the little town of the flowers. Look out there, Mauritia.

191
00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:46.840
<v Speaker 9>That isn't snow, it's thick tropical foliage. And those aren't

192
00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:50.600
<v Speaker 9>icicles hanging from the trees, the blossoms, and the wind

193
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:52.159
<v Speaker 9>is warm and soft outside.

194
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:54.799
<v Speaker 6>Oh, you'll get well, Mauritia.

195
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:55.840
<v Speaker 3>And we don't need money.

196
00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:57.279
<v Speaker 6>We can live for practically nothing.

197
00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:59.519
<v Speaker 3>Fresh fruit growing on trees all we can eat. We

198
00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:02.960
<v Speaker 3>will go there, Anton, we will, and I'll get well there.

199
00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:05.320
<v Speaker 3>I'll be a wife to you Anton.

200
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:06.399
<v Speaker 6>Just you wait and see.

201
00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:15.440
<v Speaker 3>But we didn't go to Mexico.

202
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:19.240
<v Speaker 6>And then Anton went away, and you haven't heard from

203
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:19.759
<v Speaker 6>him since.

204
00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:24.519
<v Speaker 3>No, but I don't blame him. Why should a man

205
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:25.759
<v Speaker 3>stay with a wife who's sick.

206
00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:28.360
<v Speaker 8>Oh no, no, no, you said yourself. You went away

207
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:29.399
<v Speaker 8>to warn money for your truth.

208
00:11:29.480 --> 00:11:33.559
<v Speaker 3>Yes, if that's it. But now if I could only

209
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:37.080
<v Speaker 3>see him once more, just once to tell him not

210
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:40.759
<v Speaker 3>to feel badly, to be happy for what we had,

211
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:44.399
<v Speaker 3>if I could only tell him not to feel sorry,

212
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:48.159
<v Speaker 3>because it was the same as if we really had

213
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:50.080
<v Speaker 3>been us. Floris.

214
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:54.279
<v Speaker 6>Well, you better rest now, I'll I'll try.

215
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:59.000
<v Speaker 10>To find him.

216
00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.279
<v Speaker 6>It's tough when they know they're going to die.

217
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:05.200
<v Speaker 4>It's not that they're scared, but suddenly there's something they

218
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:07.440
<v Speaker 4>feel that got to do when time is running out.

219
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:12.080
<v Speaker 6>That's how it was with Mauritia Noick. She had to

220
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:13.039
<v Speaker 6>find her Anton to.

221
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:15.200
<v Speaker 4>Tell him it was okay about a little town of

222
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:17.960
<v Speaker 4>Mexico that either one of them have ever seen or

223
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:18.440
<v Speaker 4>of a wood.

224
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:21.679
<v Speaker 8>See, how do you find a guy like that? And

225
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:26.320
<v Speaker 8>what was I doing looking for him? I took her

226
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:27.919
<v Speaker 8>cab back to the loop, I picked up my car

227
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:29.639
<v Speaker 8>and drove over to the Larryby Street address.

228
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:31.480
<v Speaker 4>It was a rooming house, all right, and the poorest

229
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:32.320
<v Speaker 4>looking one on the block.

230
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:38.720
<v Speaker 6>I rang the bell and I waited. Middle aged woman

231
00:12:38.919 --> 00:12:39.559
<v Speaker 6>came to the door.

232
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:40.120
<v Speaker 3>What is it.

233
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:40.919
<v Speaker 6>Are you the manager?

234
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:42.120
<v Speaker 11>You're looking for a room?

235
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:43.000
<v Speaker 6>I got no vacant.

236
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:44.320
<v Speaker 4>Oh no, no, I don't want a room. You have

237
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.039
<v Speaker 4>someone living here by the name of Noick.

238
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:48.480
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, but she ain't home, which ain't been here all day.

239
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:51.159
<v Speaker 6>I know that she's in the hospital.

240
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:54.600
<v Speaker 11>The hospital all the poor thing. I was worried about her.

241
00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:55.919
<v Speaker 11>She's never been out late.

242
00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:57.840
<v Speaker 6>Like this is her husband here? Anton Noick?

243
00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:58.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

244
00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:00.360
<v Speaker 11>I know he ain't been here for a long time,

245
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:01.879
<v Speaker 11>working someplace out of the city.

246
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:04.320
<v Speaker 4>I think whether you have any idea where I've got

247
00:13:04.360 --> 00:13:07.519
<v Speaker 4>to find him. Missus Noak is well, they don't expect

248
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:08.759
<v Speaker 4>her to live. He's got to be notified.

249
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.759
<v Speaker 6>Oh, that poor little girl.

250
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:15.720
<v Speaker 11>For such a long time, she's been sick. Come on in, please,

251
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:19.279
<v Speaker 11>maybe there's something in here written down, or maybe mister

252
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:20.480
<v Speaker 11>Noak's brother would know.

253
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:22.200
<v Speaker 6>Brother. Where does he live?

254
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:22.440
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

255
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:23.759
<v Speaker 6>No, I don't know exactly.

256
00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:26.080
<v Speaker 11>He's the one that's been sending missus Noak money to

257
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:30.480
<v Speaker 11>live on while her husband's been away.

258
00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:35.279
<v Speaker 4>That was the beginning. We found an envelope and the

259
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:36.320
<v Speaker 4>brother in the girl's room.

260
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:39.080
<v Speaker 6>Paul Noik. He lived on Clark Street in the Lincoln

261
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:41.919
<v Speaker 6>Park neighborhood. I drove over. There was a man coming

262
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:42.559
<v Speaker 6>down the steps.

263
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:44.440
<v Speaker 4>As they got out of my car. I stopped him.

264
00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:48.320
<v Speaker 4>When he got to the side, I beg your pardon. Yes,

265
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:50.480
<v Speaker 4>I saw you coming out of that building. You wouldn't

266
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:53.600
<v Speaker 4>be Paul Noak, would you whether you were. I'm from

267
00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:56.120
<v Speaker 4>the Chicago Star. I'm trying to locate Anton Noick.

268
00:13:56.919 --> 00:13:59.559
<v Speaker 8>Oh, I can't help you. I don't know anything about him.

269
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:06.159
<v Speaker 8>I'm like to work, mister Nowick. You are his brother,

270
00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:06.559
<v Speaker 8>aren't you?

271
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:10.919
<v Speaker 6>Yes? But well, what's the matter? With you. I don't

272
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:14.759
<v Speaker 6>know anything about him. He's he's gone away someplace to work.

273
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:17.279
<v Speaker 4>Look, fellow, I got to find that Mauritia is very sick. Mauritia,

274
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:20.759
<v Speaker 4>she's in the hospital. I got to find your brother

275
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:23.000
<v Speaker 4>right away. I told you I don't know where he is.

276
00:14:24.080 --> 00:14:27.399
<v Speaker 4>My brother and I, well, we don't see each other.

277
00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:29.519
<v Speaker 4>I haven't seen him since he left, but he's written

278
00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:31.320
<v Speaker 4>to you. He must have you been sending money to

279
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:31.759
<v Speaker 4>his wife.

280
00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:36.840
<v Speaker 6>All right, it's none of your business, but I'll tell you.

281
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:38.600
<v Speaker 6>I had one letter from him. He asked me to

282
00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:40.159
<v Speaker 6>do what I could for Maurita until he could send

283
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:42.320
<v Speaker 6>fora Where was a letter from, say where he was

284
00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:45.519
<v Speaker 6>working someplace in Montreal.

285
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:49.960
<v Speaker 8>He didn't give any address, some for company like Chicago,

286
00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:50.679
<v Speaker 8>Montreal Firs.

287
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, it doesn't sound like you're telling me the truth,

288
00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:55.000
<v Speaker 4>mister Noye. But I can't say why you'd want a

289
00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:56.120
<v Speaker 4>thing like that any conscience.

290
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:59.240
<v Speaker 6>I'm telling you the truth. Well, okay, but don't take

291
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:04.600
<v Speaker 6>it so hard. Oh my wish, My poor kid. I'll

292
00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:06.919
<v Speaker 6>see you the first thing tomorrow. You better make it tonight.

293
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:08.679
<v Speaker 6>I can't. I just can't. Well, right in the middle

294
00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:09.519
<v Speaker 6>of our tax work.

295
00:15:09.919 --> 00:15:12.679
<v Speaker 8>Ah, Yes, yeah, well, I see your point. Only thing

296
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:14.840
<v Speaker 8>is that tomorrow shall be dead.

297
00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:21.480
<v Speaker 6>It's not true. Doctors are notorious for saying things like that.

298
00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:24.320
<v Speaker 6>I I don't believe it. Brow would you believe it

299
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.480
<v Speaker 6>if you weren't the middle of your tax work. You

300
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:27.759
<v Speaker 6>had no right to talk to me like that, No

301
00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:29.600
<v Speaker 6>right at all. I'll see you tomorrow, I tell you,

302
00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:33.559
<v Speaker 6>I'll see you tomorrow. Get out of my way.

303
00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:35.879

<v Speaker 5>NBC is presenting night Beat, starring Frank Lovejoy as Randy Stone, a.

308
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.039
<v Speaker 4>Love story with a happy ending. Yes, that's what the

309
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:12.679
<v Speaker 4>man said. I mean, right at the moment, if there

310
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:13.879
<v Speaker 4>was any happiness.

311
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:15.080
<v Speaker 6>In the world. Who was staying out of my sight?

312
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:17.320
<v Speaker 6>Almost midnight?

<v Speaker 4>The Mauritia and Noaka at the hospital, hanging on to

314
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:22.360
<v Speaker 4>life by her fingernails until I could find her husband Anton.

315
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:25.559
<v Speaker 4>Nothing to go on but the name Anton's brother had

<v Speaker 6>all right. I started dialing the numbers.

319
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:35.480
<v Speaker 4>I didn't imagine anybody being around this time of the night,

320
00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:37.159

321
00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.840
<v Speaker 4>There weren't too many moments left. All I could think

322

<v Speaker 4>about was what the doctor had said. Maybe she's got five.

00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:05.440
<v Speaker 4>window of the stockyards. I checked the vital statistics on

377
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:18.799
<v Speaker 4>reserve over on State Street. I drove around the State

378
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:20.880
<v Speaker 4>Street and rang the night bell of the Great Lakes Reserve.

379
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:23.920
<v Speaker 4>The watchman wouldn't let me in, but in a couple

380
00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:25.880
<v Speaker 4>of minutes no Ik came out of the building alone.

381
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:28.720
<v Speaker 6>His face was quite as he came toward me. Why

382
00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:29.640
<v Speaker 6>did you come here?

383
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.160
<v Speaker 4>Well, your brother doesn't work for the Chicago Montreal for Company.

384
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:33.960
<v Speaker 4>I thought you'd want to know.

385
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:35.160
<v Speaker 6>No, I don't want to know. I don't want to

386
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:37.480
<v Speaker 6>know anything about it. Your own brother had no right

387
00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:38.680
<v Speaker 6>to come here, no right to you here.

388
00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:41.000
<v Speaker 4>This is my work, for sure, But I didn't think

389
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:43.759
<v Speaker 4>you'd mind. After all, you've got nothing to hide.

390
00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:44.920
<v Speaker 6>Of course I had nothing to hide.

391
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:45.640
<v Speaker 5>They know me here.

392
00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:47.720
<v Speaker 6>I'm respected, I have a position of trust.

393
00:19:48.920 --> 00:19:50.559
<v Speaker 8>You had no right to come here and make trouble

394
00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:50.799
<v Speaker 8>for me.

395
00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:52.720
<v Speaker 6>It's taken me years to get where I am.

396
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:55.039
<v Speaker 4>All right, not just take it easy. Nobody's interested in

397
00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:57.920
<v Speaker 4>making trouble for you. But I am interested in finding

398
00:19:57.960 --> 00:19:59.880
<v Speaker 4>Anton Noak, and whether you like it or not, that's

399
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:00.640
<v Speaker 4>I intend to do.

400
00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:02.680
<v Speaker 13>And find them, find them or they stay away from me,

401
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:03.680
<v Speaker 13>stay away from my work.

402
00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:04.920
<v Speaker 6>I can't help you.

403
00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:06.880
<v Speaker 5>I oppose you that I'll stay away from me.

404

00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:36.759
<v Speaker 8>get away one only travel full round Mexico.

457
00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:40.559
<v Speaker 6>I'd found him.

458
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:43.680
<v Speaker 4>Anton Noak was John Doe, arrested for robbery May tenth,

459
00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:46.519
<v Speaker 4>nineteen forty eight, Convicted and sentenced to joliet for two

460
00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:49.279
<v Speaker 4>to five years, still under the name of John Doe.

461
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:51.200
<v Speaker 4>It was beginning to fit together.

462
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:51.559
<v Speaker 6>Sure.

463
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:53.680
<v Speaker 4>He didn't want her to know. That's why he hadn't written.

464
00:22:54.839 --> 00:22:56.400
<v Speaker 4>That was the reason for the lie about the job

465
00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:59.200
<v Speaker 4>in Montreal. He was afraid it would hurt her the

466
00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:02.160
<v Speaker 4>prison record. That's why his brother wouldn't tell where. He

467
00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:05.359
<v Speaker 4>was afraid that somehow Anton's crime would reflect on his

468
00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:08.880
<v Speaker 4>own bank job. I jumped into my car and headed

469
00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:12.000
<v Speaker 4>out out Dannaven' tosched Joliette over thirty miles away with

470
00:23:12.119 --> 00:23:13.960
<v Speaker 4>the middle of the night. I had no idea what

471
00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:15.640
<v Speaker 4>I could do when I got there. All I knew

472
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:18.640
<v Speaker 4>was I had to get there fast. Maybe you'd been released.

473
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:21.079
<v Speaker 4>Maybe I could talk to the warden and do letting

474
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:22.839
<v Speaker 4>him out with me. Onder guard, maybe I could put

475
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:24.640
<v Speaker 4>a call through to the hospital. He could at least

476
00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:27.960
<v Speaker 4>talk to her on the phone. I didn't know. When

477
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:29.720
<v Speaker 4>I got to Joliet, the place was lit up like

478
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:32.240
<v Speaker 4>soldier's field. The guard took me inside of the ward

479
00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:34.279
<v Speaker 4>and he was dressed. He seemed to have been expecting me.

480
00:23:35.480 --> 00:23:36.839
<v Speaker 6>Your little lights shone.

481
00:23:36.640 --> 00:23:38.799
<v Speaker 4>Doesn't anybody who bet around here and the rest of

482
00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:41.279
<v Speaker 4>the boys who've been and gone? Rest of what boys?

483
00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:42.440
<v Speaker 4>The other papers?

484
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:44.119
<v Speaker 6>You mean they got here ahead of me? Now?

485
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:44.319
<v Speaker 2>Why?

486
00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:46.960
<v Speaker 6>Of course? The break happened a couple of hours ago,

487
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:47.720
<v Speaker 6>a break.

488
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:50.200
<v Speaker 4>I thought there was something funny about all those lights

489
00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:51.279
<v Speaker 4>and everybody being up at this.

490
00:23:51.240 --> 00:23:52.799
<v Speaker 6>Time of the night. Isn't that why you're here?

491
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:52.960
<v Speaker 3>No?

492
00:23:52.960 --> 00:23:55.279
<v Speaker 6>No, I came up to see a fellow. What happened?

493
00:23:55.559 --> 00:23:58.240
<v Speaker 12>One of the men suddenly decided he wanted out, grabbed

494
00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:00.359
<v Speaker 12>a gun away from a garden, started blasting away.

495
00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:03.640
<v Speaker 6>Had to shoot him to stop him. Not unorganized break.

496
00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:04.880
<v Speaker 7>No, he was alone.

497
00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:06.240
<v Speaker 6>I can't understand it.

498
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:09.920
<v Speaker 12>Model prisoner coming up for parole a month and the

499
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:12.160
<v Speaker 12>night he just blows up for a pill.

500
00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:16.960
<v Speaker 4>Uh, his name wouldn't be John Doe with it one

501
00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:19.960
<v Speaker 4>of many how did you know he might be the

502
00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:23.640
<v Speaker 4>fellow was coming up to see Chicago number one nine

503
00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:24.559
<v Speaker 4>seven one.

504
00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:29.359
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so that's a shame. He's in a hospital. Sell

505
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:32.759
<v Speaker 6>down the hall. I see, it's pretty bad. I'd like

506
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:35.119
<v Speaker 6>to see him if you don't mind on come on.

507
00:24:35.640 --> 00:24:41.240
<v Speaker 6>Thank you. Funny about these John does did you know him? No? No,

508
00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:43.279
<v Speaker 6>I don't. I think I know his wife.

509
00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:46.319
<v Speaker 12>Usually something pretty decent about them, trying to protect their families.

510
00:24:46.359 --> 00:24:50.880
<v Speaker 12>Mostly can't hardly blame them either. Oh, doctor, this is

511
00:24:50.880 --> 00:24:53.480
<v Speaker 12>mister Stone, one of the Chicago papers. All right, if

512
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:55.279
<v Speaker 12>we go in talk to him for a minute, I'm

513
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:56.640
<v Speaker 12>afraid it won't make much difference.

514
00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:05.039
<v Speaker 6>Warden Grehadstone, Thank you. Hello, Fellah.

515
00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:07.960
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to bother you, but I came up

516
00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:10.519
<v Speaker 4>here tonight looking for a fellow named Anton Noik.

517
00:25:12.759 --> 00:25:16.519
<v Speaker 6>My name's John Doe. Yeah. This uh, this Anton Noak.

518
00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:18.720
<v Speaker 6>I never met him, but from what I hear is

519
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:20.079
<v Speaker 6>quite a guy. I wouldn't know.

520
00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:23.279
<v Speaker 4>I had it from a girl named Marisa, his wife.

521
00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:27.920
<v Speaker 4>I believe she loved him quite a lot. By the way,

522
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:29.440
<v Speaker 4>that ring you were worrying, where'd you get that?

523
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:33.400
<v Speaker 6>I stole it? Really? Why would anyone steal a cheap

524
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:35.799
<v Speaker 6>little bit of silver and took hers. I hadn't like

525
00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:37.799
<v Speaker 6>Uh huh.

526
00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:40.079
<v Speaker 4>I saw one like that on a girl once. It

527
00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:43.079
<v Speaker 4>was a wedding ring. The girl liked the too. This

528
00:25:43.160 --> 00:25:45.400
<v Speaker 4>fellow Noak gave it to her. But then he got

529
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:46.839
<v Speaker 4>into some sort of a jam. He had to go

530
00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:49.839
<v Speaker 4>away for a while. Didn't tell her anything about what happened.

531
00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:53.279
<v Speaker 4>He was afraid it might have heard her would kilty

532
00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:57.720
<v Speaker 4>no would have made her unhappy. Maybe she would have

533
00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:02.920
<v Speaker 4>understood awful lot. She would have been glad he was

534
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:06.640
<v Speaker 4>squaring things up. She she loved him an awful lot.

535
00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:10.319
<v Speaker 3>What do you want, mister, Like.

536
00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:13.599
<v Speaker 4>I said, I was just looking for a fella, just

537
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:15.519
<v Speaker 4>one question for the paper. I'm sorry I have to

538
00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:18.440
<v Speaker 4>ask you. But how did you happen to pick tonight

539
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:20.640
<v Speaker 4>to break out? Why didn't you wait for your release?

540
00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:27.039
<v Speaker 6>I don't know. Something made me, something telling me she

541
00:26:28.039 --> 00:26:38.440
<v Speaker 6>needed me doctor quick. Oh shit, flowers of the water,

542
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:43.920
<v Speaker 6>how beautiful in the sunlight. She's gone.

543
00:26:47.079 --> 00:26:50.599
<v Speaker 4>Instinctively, I looked down at my watch. Two thirty five

544
00:26:50.680 --> 00:26:54.000
<v Speaker 4>in the morning. A nice, lonely time to make your

545
00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:55.799
<v Speaker 4>curtain call, two thirty five.

546
00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:57.880
<v Speaker 7>I am fine.

547
00:26:57.920 --> 00:27:01.319
<v Speaker 4>Little light had been having a really fell low. I

548
00:27:01.400 --> 00:27:03.279
<v Speaker 4>telephoned the story into the paper and went back to

549
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:05.720
<v Speaker 4>the hospital. I wasn't going to be much help to Mauritia,

550
00:27:05.799 --> 00:27:09.200
<v Speaker 4>no act, but I promised i'd come back. The doctor

551
00:27:09.279 --> 00:27:11.200
<v Speaker 4>was in the hall working over some reports at the

552
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:13.000
<v Speaker 4>night desk. He looked up when I stepped out of

553
00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:13.559
<v Speaker 4>the elevator.

554
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:18.680
<v Speaker 6>Hell, almost I found our ant one, right, h A

555
00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:21.160
<v Speaker 6>little too late, though dead.

556
00:27:21.559 --> 00:27:28.440
<v Speaker 8>Really wouldn't have any difference. She yeah, I'm making out

557
00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:30.400
<v Speaker 8>the report now right.

558
00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:35.599
<v Speaker 6>I wasn't so bad. Stone wasn't bad at all. She

559
00:27:35.759 --> 00:27:39.359
<v Speaker 6>was happy. I've never seen anyone so happy. But did

560
00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:41.519
<v Speaker 6>she have to be happy about them? Who knows.

561
00:27:42.359 --> 00:27:45.759
<v Speaker 8>But right at the last, this wonderful smile came across

562
00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:49.319
<v Speaker 8>her face. I guess it was delirium. She kept saying

563
00:27:49.359 --> 00:27:54.359
<v Speaker 8>something like flowers on the water, how beautiful in the sunlight.

564
00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:56.119
<v Speaker 6>That's what she said.

565
00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:00.240
<v Speaker 4>That report that you're making O tell me was the

566
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:02.359
<v Speaker 4>time of death? Tell me, DoD please?

567
00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:08.960
<v Speaker 6>Oh it's two thirty five am. Why two thirty five am?

568
00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:22.400
<v Speaker 10>Yeah?

569
00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:26.119
<v Speaker 4>So here I sit, watching the dawn creeping up on Chicago,

570
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:29.720
<v Speaker 4>tapping out thirty My story for the night, A love story,

571
00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:35.079
<v Speaker 4>you know, less, A very pessimistic Fellow once wrote, when

572
00:28:35.079 --> 00:28:37.799
<v Speaker 4>two people really love each other, there can never be

573
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:38.599
<v Speaker 4>a happy ending.

574
00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:40.079
<v Speaker 6>Well that could be.

575
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:44.279
<v Speaker 4>But then again, maybe that pessimistic Fellow used one word

576
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:48.720
<v Speaker 4>too many. Maybe when two people really love each other

577
00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:53.599
<v Speaker 4>there can never be an ending. Who knows you pays

578
00:28:53.640 --> 00:29:00.160
<v Speaker 4>your money and it takes your choice copy Boy.

601
00:30:35.720 --> 00:30:36.960
<v Speaker 14>let's get back into the show.

602
00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:49.079
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back. Well, it's a good episode, but may sound

603
00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:53.799
<v Speaker 1>familiar to long term listeners because it's essentially the same

604
00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:58.000
<v Speaker 1>thing ass Flowers on the Water. My reason for playing

605
00:30:58.000 --> 00:31:03.279
<v Speaker 1>it is that most radio lists this episode, and I

606
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:07.160
<v Speaker 1>even found this plot summary. Now, there are numerous things

607
00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:11.079
<v Speaker 1>that kind of make me a dubious about it. It

608
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:14.400
<v Speaker 1>aired during the summer, but it referenced tax time, which

609
00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:16.920
<v Speaker 1>would be in March and spring, and there's also a

610
00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:19.720
<v Speaker 1>reference to spring at the start of it. This also

611
00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:25.200
<v Speaker 1>could be a straight out and out replay of that episode.

612
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:29.519
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't totally unheard of it by nineteen fifty one

613
00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:33.119
<v Speaker 1>with all of these episodes being transcribed, so again we

614
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:36.920
<v Speaker 1>went with the best sources available. But whether this is

615
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:41.599
<v Speaker 1>correct or not, who knows. They do label this episode

616
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:45.440
<v Speaker 1>generally Antonio's return, which is odd as there's no one

617
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:49.359
<v Speaker 1>named Antonio in the plot. It's anton Regardless, the story's

618
00:31:49.400 --> 00:31:57.640
<v Speaker 1>got a definite sense of tragic, somewhat beautiful romance while

619
00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:03.160
<v Speaker 1>still showing Brandy's will to take on the tough task

620
00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:06.039
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of the night when there's no one

621
00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:09.119
<v Speaker 1>else really available to do it. All right, well, that

622
00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:11.680
<v Speaker 1>will do it for today. Join us back here tomorrow

623
00:32:11.759 --> 00:32:15.640
<v Speaker 1>for pursuit, and then next Monday it's another episode of
