Speaker 2: Yours is somebody else's, Johnny.

19
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 3: Have you hear of the Cuvella diamonds?

20
00:01:40,439 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, matter of fink I have? It's a pink diamond,

21
00:01:42,719 --> 00:01:42,920
is it?

22
00:01:43,159 --> 00:01:45,359
Speaker 3: That's right? One of the companies who represented road a

23
00:01:45,359 --> 00:01:48,079
seventy five thousand dollars policy on it. The owner of

24
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:50,560
the stone, a jeweler named Joseph Wentworth, was trying to

25
00:01:50,599 --> 00:01:54,519
sell it. So last night the Savella Diamond was stolen.

26
00:01:55,599 --> 00:02:06,959
Speaker 2: I'll be right over Bob Bailey in the Exciting Adventures

27
00:02:06,959 --> 00:02:10,080
of a Man with the Action Packed Expense Account, America's

28
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:29,759
fabulous freelance insurance investigator was truly Johnny Dollar. Expense accounts

29
00:02:29,719 --> 00:02:34,840
submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar the Universal Adjustment Bureau Hertford, Connecticut,

30
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,199
following us an account of expenses incurred during my investigation

31
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:45,599
of the Rolling Stone matter. Expense account had a one

32
00:02:45,719 --> 00:02:48,080
dollar twenty camp fare from my apartment of the Office

33
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,680
of Universal Adjustment Bureau, Pat McCracken gave me one additional

34
00:02:51,719 --> 00:02:53,520
dope he had, which wasn't much, and I headed for

35
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,159
New York that side him two twenty six dollars forty

36
00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:59,319
cents and the apartment of Joseph Wentworth. I was just

37
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,719
released from the hospital an hour ago. They kept me

38
00:03:01,759 --> 00:03:04,960
overnight for observation. Nothing serious, I hope mister Wentworth no.

39
00:03:05,479 --> 00:03:07,120
I was hit on the back of the head. At

40
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,560
first they suspected the scoll fracture, but it was only

41
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,159
a slight concussion. Wow, you're lucky.

42
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 4: Practically my total asset stolen, and you call it lucky.

43
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 2: You mean the Sabala diamond. I borrowed heavily to purchase

44
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,120
that stone, mister dollar, I'm afraid I'm just about ruined. Well,

45
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,199
if I'm not mistaken, it was insured for seventy five

46
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,240
thousand dollars. You don't understand the insurance money will barely

47
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,159
cover the loans. The diamond wasn't insured for its full value.

48
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,080
I see, And what's worse, I had a customer for it.

49
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,400
I was almost ready to close the deal, could have

50
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:37,240
gotten at least one hundred thousand.

51
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 4: Maybe more.

52
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:40,479
Speaker 2: Try to tell me exactly what happened to mister Wentworth.

53
00:03:40,919 --> 00:03:43,919
Last evening, Eloise stopped by the shop at six. We

54
00:03:43,919 --> 00:03:47,560
were going to have dinner. Alos Heloise Barnes by fiance.

55
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:50,520
I started to close up, and I remembered I'd forgotten

56
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,560
to put some things in the safe. She went down

57
00:03:52,599 --> 00:03:54,560
the street aways to hail a taxi, and I went

58
00:03:54,599 --> 00:03:57,400
back inside and left the front door unlocked. I must have.

59
00:03:57,599 --> 00:03:59,400
I was in a hurry. I opened the safe and

60
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,919
I heard the sound behind me. I started to turn,

61
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,400
but too late that's the last I remember. The police

62
00:04:05,439 --> 00:04:07,680
figure out what you were hit with. Yes, a heavy

63
00:04:07,719 --> 00:04:10,800
brass candlestick in my shot. And when Eloise brought me

64
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,479
to Subala diamond was gone just a minute, you say

65
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,480
Eloise brought you to? Yes, you see when I didn't

66
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,360
come right back outside, she started wondering what had happened.

67
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,120
She came in and found me lying.

68
00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:22,399
Speaker 4: On the floor.

69
00:04:24,439 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 2: How long have you known Aloise mister Wentworth? About a year?

70
00:04:27,759 --> 00:04:31,680
Why mind giving me her address? I think I'd like

71
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:38,519
to talk to her expense account. I am three a

72
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,639
dollars ready cave fair to Aloise Barnes apartment. Aloise looked

73
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,399
if anything more expensive than the Sabala Diamond, and I

74
00:04:46,399 --> 00:04:49,000
had the feeling that underneath that lovely surface she was

75
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,519
almost as hard. Her gray eyes never left my face

76
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,319
as we talked, and I got the impression she had

77
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,000
deeply waived me, cataloged me, and put a price tag

78
00:04:57,079 --> 00:04:57,319
on me.

79
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 5: Grad I can't help you much, Johnny. Joe went with

80
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,639
apparently told you all there is to tell about it.

81
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,879
Speaker 2: You were out looking for a taxi at the time.

82
00:05:05,959 --> 00:05:06,839
Wentworth got sluck.

83
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 5: That's right. I feel sorry for Joe. That was a

84
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,360
lot of diamond to lose must be quite a storm

85
00:05:14,959 --> 00:05:18,240
you go for those things. I know. I guess some

86
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,600
people really have a thing about diamonds.

87
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: Huh.

88
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 5: All right, just happens. There are a couple of things

89
00:05:25,399 --> 00:05:29,319
I prefer like, what like money and mink?

90
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,439
Speaker 2: Huh. But now, according to your fiance you were it's

91
00:05:33,439 --> 00:05:38,800
a minute According to my what your fiance went worth it?

92
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:39,879
Speaker 3: Johnny?

93
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,959
Speaker 5: That may be his idea, but it's not mine.

94
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: Well, you're not engaged.

95
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 5: It's been very nice to me, and I like him,

96
00:05:47,439 --> 00:05:51,519
but we're just friends as far as I'm concerned. Oh yeah,

97
00:05:52,199 --> 00:05:56,959
I'm afraid I'm not the engaged type, Johnny. I've tried

98
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,240
it once or twice, but it didn't work. Seems to

99
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:06,759
interfere with my hobby. Your hobby, Yeah, having fun, that's

100
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,800
your hobby, Johnny.

101
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 2: Well, at the moment, trying to find the Sabala diamond.

102
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 4: Then what hell?

103
00:06:14,959 --> 00:06:18,079
Speaker 2: I have been known to have fun?

104
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:23,439
Speaker 5: Now and then, Jenny, I hope you find the diamond

105
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:25,360
real soon.

106
00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 2: The invitation was printed in large type. This was no

107
00:06:34,959 --> 00:06:38,920
time for an RSVP, especially since I remember it wentworth

108
00:06:38,959 --> 00:06:41,439
mentioning a customer who'd been anxious to buy the diamond

109
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,279
just before it was stolen. I called Wentworth and got

110
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,000
the man's name, Gerald Mantel, who had an apartment just

111
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,839
off Fifth Avenue in the East seventies. Ah, Yes, mister Dollar.

112
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 6: The Sabala diamond an exquisite stone. The pink radiance of

113
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,480
it when it caught the light positively hypnotic.

114
00:06:57,319 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 2: Such a pity it was stolen. Mister Wentworth tells me

115
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,040
he was negotiating with you for the sale of that time.

116
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 6: That is correct. Unfortunately we had reached a stalemate yesterday.

117
00:07:06,439 --> 00:07:09,079
You see, he wanted more than the diamond is worth.

118
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,519
Speaker 2: Wow. Maybe that's a matter of opinion, mister Dollar.

119
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 6: I am a collector and a connoisseur. I know what

120
00:07:14,879 --> 00:07:18,160
such things are worth. Are yes, I only hope it

121
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,920
will be recovered before Friday. It would make things so

122
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,680
much more enjoyable for me. What happens Friday, I am

123
00:07:23,759 --> 00:07:24,639
leaving for Europe.

124
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: All business chrip.

125
00:07:28,279 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 6: Not really, as a matter of fact, more of an

126
00:07:30,959 --> 00:07:32,360
impulse than anything else.

127
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:39,759
Speaker 2: Anything wrong with that, mister van Tell that's a good question.

128
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,680
Act two of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar. In a moment,

129
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:00,600
our flag.

130
00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:04,879
Speaker 7: Now numbers fifty stars, and behind each star there stands

131
00:08:04,959 --> 00:08:09,480
yet another flag representing one of the fifties states. Alabama

132
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,079
state flag is Saint Andrew, the symbol of the Confederacy

133
00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:18,000
and the national flag of Scotland. Alabama state capital, Montgomery,

134
00:08:18,439 --> 00:08:21,759
served as the first capital of the Confederacy, and it

135
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,680
was on the steps of its capitol building that Jefferson

136
00:08:24,759 --> 00:08:27,279
Davis took the oath of office as President of the

137
00:08:27,279 --> 00:08:32,039
Confederated States of America. The Scottish cross is in the

138
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:36,159
form of an x or saltier and is also found

139
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,600
on the state flags of Georgia and Mississippi. Perhaps it

140
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,200
is the independent, rugged spirit of the Scots that recommended

141
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,759
its national symbol to the Confederacy as a symbol of

142
00:08:47,799 --> 00:08:48,559
its rebellion.

143
00:08:49,919 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: Alabama's state flag, the flag.

144
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 7: Of the twenty second state to enter the Union, was

145
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,279
adopted on February sixteenth, eighteen hundred and ninety five.

146
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,879
Speaker 2: Too, If yours truly, Johnny Dollar and the rolling Stone Metter,

147
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,519
I went back to my hotel, stretched out on the bed,

148
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,919
and went over the whole thing in my mind. Elloie,

149
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,000
who liked the things that money could buy, and who

150
00:09:18,039 --> 00:09:20,960
supposedly had been looking for a taxi while Wentworth was

151
00:09:21,039 --> 00:09:24,559
slugged and the diamond lifted. Then there was Gerald Mantel,

152
00:09:24,639 --> 00:09:29,159
a collector who was now suddenly leaving for Europe. Yeah,

153
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:36,360
could be either of them. Johnny Dollar, you're looking for

154
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:37,480
the Sabala diamond.

155
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,279
Speaker 3: Mister Dollar was that? Well, that doesn't matter. I know

156
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,240
where the diamond is.

157
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,159
Speaker 2: Oh that's a fast dollar.

158
00:09:45,759 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 3: I'm sure the insurance company represent would they quite a

159
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:52,080
bit bigger than stone pack? The question is how much?

160
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 2: Oh there's a bigger question than that, friend, whether you're

161
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:55,600
on the level or not.

162
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,039
Speaker 3: I suppose I can show you the case the diamond

163
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:00,759
was kept in. Be convinced.

164
00:10:00,799 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 2: Then maybe and Tonio is bonn E's fifty third. Yeah,

165
00:10:05,879 --> 00:10:07,879
maybe there in an hour. Wait a minute, how'll I

166
00:10:07,919 --> 00:10:08,200
know you?

167
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 3: I'll know you.

168
00:10:10,519 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 2: Hey, wait a minute. I had them four two dollars

169
00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:23,200
even drinks at Antonio is WHI. I waited for my

170
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,440
telephone buddy to contact me. A half hour went by

171
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,879
and nothing happened. Then somebody came in and went to

172
00:10:29,879 --> 00:10:33,080
a corner booth. Not the person I'd been expecting, but

173
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:40,799
just as interesting. So I went over, Hello, Eloise, Johnny,

174
00:10:41,919 --> 00:10:46,279
sit down, thanks, expecting someone.

175
00:10:46,159 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 5: All sorts of people, but this is a pleasant surprise,

176
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,919
but brings you around here business. I thought, you know, Johnny,

177
00:10:53,919 --> 00:10:58,960
you've got a one track mind, always business. With that attitude,

178
00:10:58,960 --> 00:10:59,679
you miss a lot.

179
00:11:00,159 --> 00:11:04,399
Speaker 2: I don't Donald, Oh here you Why Alouise? Oh why

180
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,519
it's mister Dollar, Well, mister Mantel.

181
00:11:06,799 --> 00:11:07,399
Speaker 5: Don Jeryl.

182
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,639
Speaker 2: I didn't know you two knew each other.

183
00:11:10,879 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 3: Oh, yes, we've.

184
00:11:11,639 --> 00:11:13,759
Speaker 6: Been friends for years. As a matter of fact, it

185
00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:16,039
was Eloise who told me about the Subala diamond.

186
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 2: Oh he didn't tell me that, Eloise.

187
00:11:19,159 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 5: You didn't ask me, Johnny, Oh, Gerl they had waiters.

188
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:24,960
Seems to be signaling to you.

189
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:25,879
Speaker 2: That's so, I see.

190
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:27,159
Speaker 6: I'll be right back.

191
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 2: Well, look, Eloise, I think i'd better be getting along.

192
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,120
Don't leave, Johnny, you've got a date with Mantel.

193
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 5: He just wanted to have a drink with me before

194
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,320
he left for Europe. I told him I was meeting

195
00:11:39,399 --> 00:11:41,519
Joe Wentworth here, so he said he'd stop by for

196
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:42,000
a minute.

197
00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: Didn't went Worth know that you and Mantell are old friends.

198
00:11:45,639 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 5: I've done no reason to tell him, Johnny. Joe was

199
00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:50,440
very tiresome about things like that.

200
00:11:50,639 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: You mean he's jealous.

201
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,639
Speaker 5: I wonder what happened to Gerald this trip.

202
00:11:55,399 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: He's taking to Europe. I gather he got the idea

203
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:58,759
rather suddenly.

204
00:11:58,519 --> 00:12:00,879
Speaker 5: Geryl, very impulsive way.

205
00:12:01,039 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'll be getting along. Eloise. Looks like a

206
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,000
man I came here to meet isn't going to show.

207
00:12:07,399 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 5: I can't imagine what's keeping Joe. I say, we've both

208
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,720
been stood up, Johnny. Maybe we should do something about us.

209
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:18,919
Speaker 2: Well, as I told you right now, the only thing

210
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,120
I have on my mind.

211
00:12:20,039 --> 00:12:26,279
Speaker 5: I know that diamond. A girl could get tired of waiting, Johnny.

212
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,399
Speaker 2: Eloise, I don't think you've ever waited very long for anything.

213
00:12:31,159 --> 00:12:31,600
Cheer later.

214
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,399
Speaker 3: I'll count on it.

215
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 2: Got well, Oh what worth? We were wondering? What has

216
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,080
happened to you, mister Dollar. I'm certain you're a very

217
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,960
efficient investigator, but it seems to me that you've questioned

218
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,320
Eloise all you need to or have your conversations with her,

219
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,759
and now reached the unofficial state that is the case,

220
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,399
and I suspect it is. I'd better remind you that, Eloise.

221
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,440
Maybe i'd better remind you of a couple of things

222
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,759
went worth in the first place. Over here with there's

223
00:13:03,799 --> 00:13:04,480
the dollars.

224
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 4: A load and a package for you.

225
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,039
Speaker 6: So gentlemen, just left with me.

226
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 2: Did he give his name?

227
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, but there was a.

228
00:13:09,519 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 2: Short man of stock here in the word gray suit. Okay, thanks,

229
00:13:12,279 --> 00:13:16,480
here you go, oh thank you. As I started to

230
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,919
say hello, what you went with? Couldn't take a chance

231
00:13:21,039 --> 00:13:25,320
contacting you, somebody was following me. Contents of the package

232
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,159
will show you. I know what I'm talking about. We'll

233
00:13:28,159 --> 00:13:31,159
contact you later. What's this all about, delle? It's from

234
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,080
a man who formed me a couple of hours ago.

235
00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:37,080
If it's what I think is in his package? Yeah,

236
00:13:38,039 --> 00:13:40,600
empty jewel case, your name on. I went with, what

237
00:13:41,159 --> 00:13:41,759
that's the case?

238
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 4: I kept the subotto diamond in Yeah, see you later.

239
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,039
Speaker 2: I went with where are you going?

240
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 3: Dollar?

241
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: Back to my hotel room. I wait to hear from him.

242
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,039
I went outside and started for the corner to grab

243
00:13:53,039 --> 00:13:56,360
a cap. As I passed the alley, I spotted something

244
00:13:56,399 --> 00:14:08,120
sprawled on the ground. A body, general man tell act

245
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,879
three of yours truly, Johnny Dollar in a moment.

246
00:14:12,159 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 6: The way a man conducts himself at ease or under

247
00:14:15,279 --> 00:14:19,120
stress shows what he's made of. It shows his character

248
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,879
under the strongest flight. This is particularly true when a

249
00:14:22,919 --> 00:14:26,639
man becomes a prisoner of war. One of the points

250
00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:29,679
of the Code of Conduct of the American Fighting Man says,

251
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,159
if I become a prisoner of war, I will keep

252
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,559
faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information

253
00:14:36,639 --> 00:14:39,039
nor take part in any action which might be harmful

254
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,840
to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command.

255
00:14:43,519 --> 00:14:46,399
If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those

256
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,960
appointed over me, and will back them up in every way.

257
00:14:51,039 --> 00:14:53,279
The very essence of the ideals set forth in those

258
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:58,120
words were displayed by Commander later Rear Admiral Richard Antrim

259
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,279
in April nineteen forty two, while a prisoner of war

260
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:06,039
and ma Cassar Duchy Cinties during World War II. Acting

261
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,480
instantly on behalf of a naval officer who was subjected

262
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,039
to heavy punishment, Commander Antram boldly tried to quiet the

263
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,159
guard and persuade him to discuss the charges against the officer.

264
00:15:15,679 --> 00:15:19,840
The guard refused. Tension increased. The entire enemy prison force

265
00:15:19,919 --> 00:15:24,639
was faced by twenty seven hundred Allied prisoners. An order

266
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,200
was given to continue the punishment. Suddenly, Commander Antrum, at

267
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,960
the risk of his own life, stepped forward and volunteered

268
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,159
to take the remainder of the punishment. This sudden move

269
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,039
got a roar of acclaim from the inspired Allied troops,

270
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,440
and so amazed the enemy that both men were spared

271
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,879
any further in dignities or punishment. Commander Antram's heroic and

272
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,080
unselfish conduct brought about better conditions for the prisoners and

273
00:15:49,159 --> 00:15:53,399
earned new respect for American officers and men. Commander Richard

274
00:15:53,399 --> 00:15:57,840
Antrim upheld the highest ideals of an officer and earned

275
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,440
for himself the Medal of Honor.

276
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,279
Speaker 2: No. Act Three of Yours truly, Johnny Dollar and the

277
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:18,039
rolling Stone Mutter, Mantell, Mantel, Mattel, Come out of it, Clian,

278
00:16:18,159 --> 00:16:22,159
Come on my hid here, I'll help you all right?

279
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:28,879
Easy enough? Are you okay? So who did it? I

280
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:29,799
don't know. Dollar.

281
00:16:30,879 --> 00:16:33,639
Speaker 6: The hadwaiter told me a taxi driver wanted to see

282
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,480
me outside. I came out, but there was no cab

283
00:16:37,559 --> 00:16:40,159
in sight. I thought he might be at the corner,

284
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:40,519
so I.

285
00:16:40,879 --> 00:16:42,639
Speaker 2: Started walking past the alley. Here.

286
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,759
Speaker 6: Yes, mister Dollar, why would anyone want to beat me up?

287
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to think of one possibility. Mantell is you

288
00:16:51,519 --> 00:16:54,159
wanted the Sabala diamond pretty badly, but went with wouldn't

289
00:16:54,159 --> 00:16:57,720
sell at your price? You suggesting I'm suggesting you lifted

290
00:16:57,759 --> 00:16:59,279
the diamond and somebody was trying to get it back

291
00:16:59,320 --> 00:16:59,919
from you. Just now.

292
00:17:01,759 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 6: I don't have the time, I never did.

293
00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 2: Maybe you know where it is.

294
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 6: No, I swear I don't. I was forgetting beaten up

295
00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:12,160
just now. I am every bit as much in the

296
00:17:12,279 --> 00:17:13,160
dark as you are.

297
00:17:18,279 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 2: I didn't know whether he was telling the truth or not,

298
00:17:20,759 --> 00:17:23,480
but I had no proof he was lying. I had

299
00:17:23,519 --> 00:17:25,200
him five a dollar, even a pot of coffee at

300
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,519
my hotel Roman. I tried to pull some threads together,

301
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,240
but they didn't pull. If Mantell had the stone? Who

302
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,119
phoned me sent the empty jewel case to convince me

303
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:42,680
he had information? How did he fit? Yeah? Con Ah,

304
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,960
why worth come in here, mister Dollary.

305
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 4: I have some information that will interest you.

306
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, First though, I owe you an apology for

307
00:17:52,519 --> 00:17:54,559
well flying off the handle when I saw you with

308
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,839
Eloise and Antonio. Okay, okay, see it'll touch you about Aloise.

309
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,240
Now what's the information? Well, just a few minutes to go,

310
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,960
a man telephoned me at my apartment. Huh, and I

311
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,599
think he was the same one who phoned you and

312
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,000
sent the empty jewel case. What he said that he

313
00:18:07,079 --> 00:18:09,480
knew where the diamond was and for a price, would

314
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:14,440
furnish the information. Ah. Now I wonder why he suddenly

315
00:18:14,559 --> 00:18:16,599
switched negotiations from me to you.

316
00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:19,599
Speaker 4: Well, perhaps he thought it too dangerous to continue with you.

317
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. Maybe, Speaking of danger, I wish I could locate

318
00:18:24,039 --> 00:18:26,000
this character before something happens to him.

319
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 4: That's the point, mister dollar. I think I know where

320
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:28,920
he is.

321
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 2: H But he must have placed his call to me

322
00:18:31,319 --> 00:18:33,799
through a switchboard, because I heard an operator in the

323
00:18:33,839 --> 00:18:38,680
background saying Hotel Masefield, Hotel Macefield, thanks for the lead,

324
00:18:38,759 --> 00:18:44,240
went Worth, I'll check with you later. I headed for

325
00:18:44,319 --> 00:18:46,480
the Macefield and described the man I was looking forward

326
00:18:46,519 --> 00:18:49,200
to the desk clerk. The clerk said his name was Krauss,

327
00:18:49,279 --> 00:18:51,799
that he checked out that morning. This I didn't get

328
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,440
because he'd called went with from the hotel. Shortly before

329
00:18:55,519 --> 00:18:57,279
I had the clerk let me in the cross's room,

330
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,319
hoping I could find some lead on where he'd gone.

331
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,839
I did a scratch pad with the imprint of a

332
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,599
pencil still visible, a phone number and a name Catcart hotel.

333
00:19:06,279 --> 00:19:08,759
I headed there fast and was referred to room four thirteen.

334
00:19:14,039 --> 00:19:17,279
Fellow Kraus there must have been a steak. My name

335
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,880
is Colin. Unerve me that your name's Krauss and you're

336
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:21,680
the guy who phoned me and said he had information

337
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,240
about that diamond. No, no, no, that's wrong. Come on,

338
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,680
let's quit playing games. When you call Wentworth a while

339
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,759
ago he found out the name of the hotel, shall I?

340
00:19:29,839 --> 00:19:30,839
Speaker 3: I haven't talked him since?

341
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought.

342
00:19:35,559 --> 00:19:35,839
Speaker 8: What with?

343
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,319
Speaker 2: Why about that phone call? Why because he hoped i'd

344
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,079
find you for him, but you had talked to him earlier. Yeah.

345
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,440
The theft of that diamond was rigged between you and Wentworth,

346
00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:49,880
wasn't it? And you slugged him to make it look legitimate.

347
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:55,680
Well yeah, yeah, but now you're hiding from Wentworth. Why

348
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,000
what happened to your cozy little partnership?

349
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 4: It was blackmail? Dollar Worth, don't move either of you.

350
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 2: Well what it looks as though I figured you right.

351
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,440
You thought I might have better luck finding Krause than

352
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,279
you had, so you gave me his last known address

353
00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:14,519
and followed me. Now, what's this about blackmail? I thought

354
00:20:14,559 --> 00:20:17,119
I could trust you, Kraus. Look, I wasn't really going

355
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,160
to blackmail. You got to believe that. I think I

356
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,200
get it. Now, Kraus was supposed to turn the stone

357
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,440
over you after a decent time and elapsed and Steady

358
00:20:25,519 --> 00:20:27,920
held on to it and tried to blackmail you about

359
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,799
your being involved in the fake robbery. That's why he

360
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,279
pretended to open negotiations with me to scare you into buying. Yes,

361
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,680
but you made a big mistake, Krause, trying to blackmail

362
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:38,400
a desperate man.

363
00:20:39,079 --> 00:20:40,319
Speaker 4: I had no money to pay you.

364
00:20:40,799 --> 00:20:42,839
Speaker 2: I needed every cent from the insurance and from what

365
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,160
we'd get for the stone when it was caught and sold.

366
00:20:45,279 --> 00:20:48,960
Why worth? Why do you need the money for Aloise?

367
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,119
For Eloise? Does she know about all this?

368
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:52,519
Speaker 6: No?

369
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 2: No, she knows nothing about this, But she she wants

370
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,599
so many things, and I want to give them to her.

371
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,880
I've got to I've got you to hold on to her. Brother. Oh,

372
00:21:03,039 --> 00:21:05,799
you wouldn't understand. You don't know what it's like when

373
00:21:05,799 --> 00:21:08,400
a girl like that gets into your blood. You're willing

374
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,240
to do anything like a couple of murders went with,

375
00:21:12,039 --> 00:21:15,400
You're willing to add them to your list. Two yes, yes,

376
00:21:15,519 --> 00:21:17,839
I am on our love. Put that thing down. Why

377
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,799
don't you stop kidding yourself about Aloise?

378
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:20,519
Speaker 4: She loves me?

379
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 2: Dollar, I tell you she loves Are you kidding? She

380
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,920
told me what she loves making money? How long do

381
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,880
you think she'd stick with you after the money ran out?

382
00:21:29,039 --> 00:21:31,079
Get back, stay where you're You're a thief and a

383
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,960
fool went with but you're not a killer. Stay away,

384
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:39,240
So you just better give me that gun right now. Thanks.

385
00:21:44,319 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 4: You're right about Eloise.

386
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: I guess I always knew.

387
00:21:48,799 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 4: It, but I just I just couldn't face it.

388
00:21:53,759 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 2: You just did, and you were right about me.

389
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 4: Dollar, I'm no killing.

390
00:22:01,599 --> 00:22:05,039
Speaker 2: You want to know something went Worth? I wasn't sure

391
00:22:05,079 --> 00:22:13,039
about that at all. Expense account total including the trip

392
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,440
home one hundred and forty six dollars, even remarks Klaus

393
00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:19,839
handed over the diamond. He and Wentworth are both in custody.

394
00:22:20,839 --> 00:22:23,880
It was Wentworth who beat up Mantel for hanging around Eloise.

395
00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:29,000
And Eloise last I heard, she was going her merry way,

396
00:22:30,039 --> 00:22:34,359
having fun, as she calls it, I never did accept

397
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,880
her invitation to join her after the diamond have been recovered,

398
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:54,559
and I'm not about to yours, truly, Johnny Dollar, Our

399
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,640
star will return in just a moment.

400
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,759
Speaker 8: Our flag now number is fifty stars, and behind each

401
00:23:00,839 --> 00:23:04,680
star there stands yet another flag representing one of the

402
00:23:04,759 --> 00:23:08,839
fifty states. The origin of Hawaii State flag has been

403
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,119
the subject of much debate. It is now believed that

404
00:23:12,279 --> 00:23:15,440
it was the work of foreign advisors to King Kameya Maya.

405
00:23:16,039 --> 00:23:18,759
Legend also has it that it was designed at the

406
00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:22,200
request of King Kameya Maya by George Beckley, an English

407
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,559
sea captain. The flag consists of eight horizontal and alternating

408
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,920
stripes of white, red, and blue, representing the eight major

409
00:23:31,039 --> 00:23:35,640
islands in the chain. Also represented is the British Union Jack,

410
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,599
a reminder of Captain Vancouver, who, on his voyage around

411
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,079
the world in seventeen ninety four, gave King Kamea Maya

412
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,000
a British flag and the promise of British protection. The

413
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,359
Union Jack is also a reminder of Captain James Cook,

414
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:55,000
who discovered the Hawaiian Islands in seventeen seventy eight. Hawaii

415
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,240
State Flag, the flag of the fiftieth state to enter

416
00:23:58,319 --> 00:24:03,119
the Union, was adopted in eighteen forty five. Now here's

417
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,359
our star to tell you about next week's story.

418
00:24:05,519 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 2: Next week, Well, the title of the iron is the

419
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,440
Ghost to Ghost Matter, and the story lives up to it.

420
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:28,000
So join us, won't you? Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. Yours

421
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,920
Truly Johnny Dollar, starring Bob Bailey, originates in Hollywood and

422
00:24:32,079 --> 00:24:35,759
is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone. Today's story was

423
00:24:35,799 --> 00:24:39,240
written by Robert Stanley. Heard in our cast were Virginia,

424
00:24:39,319 --> 00:24:43,119
Greg Larry Dobkin, Boris Lewis, Edgar Berrier, and Don Diamond.

425
00:24:43,759 --> 00:24:46,279
Be sure to join us next week, same time and

426
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,839
station for another exciting story of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar.

427
00:24:51,960 --> 00:25:11,839
This is Dan cubberly speaking. This is the United States

428
00:25:12,039 --> 00:25:14,359
Armed Forces Radio and Television Service.

429
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: Welcome back. So once again we get a gold digger,

430
00:26:34,599 --> 00:26:38,319
though in some ways always is a bit of a

431
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:43,799
figure ahead of her time. She was what we might call,

432
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,559
in modern parlance, an ethical gold digger who lets you

433
00:26:47,839 --> 00:26:50,440
know that she was a gold digger. At least she

434
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:55,680
was electively ethical. She let Johnny know that she was

435
00:26:55,759 --> 00:26:58,400
a gold digger. She may have let Wentworth know, and

436
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,240
he was just not right enough to notice. Of course,

437
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,559
ethical gold diggers are a rare breed, and there's a

438
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:11,079
reason for that, because admitting to being a gold digger

439
00:27:11,279 --> 00:27:14,480
kind of kills the game. And that's true for gold

440
00:27:14,559 --> 00:27:18,640
diggers of either sex. I mean, what she did would

441
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,559
be the equivalent of a man today admitting to being

442
00:27:21,759 --> 00:27:27,119
only interested in beer and PlayStation games. So no points

443
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,559
to Johnny Ford not being interested. He seemed awfully proud

444
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,079
of not following up with a woman who told him

445
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,160
that she was really just interested in his expense account.

446
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,319
I'm also not sure what the point of beating up

447
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,200
man Tell was unless it was just a random thing

448
00:27:47,279 --> 00:27:50,440
that happened, and that does happen in big cities, even

449
00:27:50,559 --> 00:27:53,920
back in nineteen fifty eight, certainly. And then, of course

450
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,599
you have another tease for the next week's episode titled

451
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,119
the Ghost Ghost Man, and we'll have to find out

452
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,559
whether Johnny is right that it lives up to its

453
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,799
name or dies down to it. I guess all right, Well,

454
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,200
listener comments and feedback, and we've got some comments on

455
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:18,480
YouTube regarding the Wayward Trout matter. We start with Mark,

456
00:28:18,519 --> 00:28:24,640
who notes Los Angeles the older pronunciation was present in

457
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:30,519
this particular episode, and that is an interesting point. Now,

458
00:28:31,079 --> 00:28:34,119
those who've been listening a while will remember an episode

459
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,960
of Dangerous Assignment we played about a year and a

460
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,599
half or two years ago where it was mentioned that

461
00:28:41,559 --> 00:28:44,960
the decision had been reached and what I think it

462
00:28:45,039 --> 00:28:48,480
was in nineteen fifty two that Los Angeles was the

463
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:53,720
official pronunciation. But old habits die hard for many people.

464
00:28:54,359 --> 00:28:58,279
Ranzer writes, love the interaction between Johnny and Buster. These

465
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,839
two seem to really lock working together, and I think

466
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:07,000
that there really is some fun energy between Bob Bailey

467
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,920
and Barney Phillips. And you can hear that in a

468
00:29:11,119 --> 00:29:17,720
lot of the pre Buster Faber Johnny Dollar five parters,

469
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,880
and so you kind of get the feeling that the

470
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,640
recurring role of Buster was created to kind of harness

471
00:29:24,799 --> 00:29:29,720
that and to give Johnny this sort of unique friend

472
00:29:29,799 --> 00:29:32,200
who can act as a partner from time to time.

473
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,160
And another listener comments, I'm actually surprised there isn't some

474
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,720
kind of classic noar movie and radio detective conventions. There

475
00:29:40,759 --> 00:29:45,079
are soap operas, Hallmark Christmas movies, and game show conventions.

476
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:51,559
Why not a classic movie and a noir detective convention. Well,

477
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:55,279
thanks so much for the comment. In many ways, it

478
00:29:55,599 --> 00:30:01,240
just comes down to finding the combination. There are plenty

479
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,759
of mystery conventions out there. A lot of them tend

480
00:30:04,839 --> 00:30:08,599
to be geared more towards riders. There's some fans that go,

481
00:30:09,559 --> 00:30:15,440
but there's a huge professional development element for mystery writers.

482
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:24,559
There is also a convention called Narkon being held in

483
00:30:25,079 --> 00:30:30,000
Palm Springs October twenty three to twenty six. Kind of interesting.

484
00:30:30,119 --> 00:30:35,279
It's actually a bi annual conference, and as someone who

485
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:42,759
actually organized small writers' conferences, I like the idea of

486
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,839
a biannual conference because it's kind of exhausting when you

487
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:54,319
do the annual event because once you the way it works, essentially,

488
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,400
you begin really soon after the end of the last

489
00:30:58,519 --> 00:31:02,119
event planning for the next one. So the idea of

490
00:31:02,279 --> 00:31:05,200
taking a year between sounds great. But anyway, there is

491
00:31:05,599 --> 00:31:09,799
Noarkon over in Palm Springs, and they have a focus

492
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:14,200
on books and films, but nothing on radio. Now you

493
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,480
have a convention there that's pretty close. They just need

494
00:31:17,599 --> 00:31:22,359
to incorporate the radio element. But with a lot of things,

495
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:26,720
it's just a matter of who's organizing it and how

496
00:31:26,799 --> 00:31:29,559
they see the connection. Thanks so much for the comment.

497
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,279
I did not actually know about Noarkon until I started

498
00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:36,559
researching your question, so I appreciate you bringing it up.

499
00:31:37,319 --> 00:31:43,680
And this one comes from I think Skala or I'm

500
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:48,480
probably mispronouncing that, but she writes and this one is

501
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:53,279
on Facebook regarding the Eastern Western matter. I'm sure someone

502
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,839
mentioned this to you already, but I had to chuckle

503
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,039
when you wondered who would take a slede to Florida

504
00:31:59,279 --> 00:32:03,240
as a native who moved to Georgia, my dad told

505
00:32:03,319 --> 00:32:07,200
me they sled it on cookie sheets and cardboard boxes.

506
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,680
Obviously this worked better for small children. Thank you for

507
00:32:10,799 --> 00:32:13,680
all the great shows. I learn a lot and enjoy

508
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,559
so much about your podcast. Well, thank you so much.

509
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:21,200
I appreciate it, and really was actually a unique comment,

510
00:32:21,319 --> 00:32:26,480
and so I was glad to learn that from you. Well,

and daggerware.

524
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 9: Of Lieutenant Buman out of your window? Yeah, what about it?

525
00:33:18,519 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 10: In those green forests, as you may know, still roam

526
00:33:21,319 --> 00:33:24,079
the ancient pecocks and the sacred elephants of Siam.

527
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 9: Louis, I may as well tell you right now there

528
00:33:26,039 --> 00:33:28,759
are four things I know definitely about your country. What

529
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:29,240
are these?

530
00:33:29,319 --> 00:33:29,759
Speaker 6: My friend?

531
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 9: The Siamese twins were named Bang and Chang, Siamese cats,

532
00:33:33,039 --> 00:33:35,400
and blue Eye. Somebody wrote a book called Anna and

533
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,400
the King of Siam. And what is the fought Tan

534
00:33:38,599 --> 00:33:41,880
Yak Dai fuying Mai? The one line I know of

535
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,039
your language, which translated means.

536
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,559
Speaker 1: Do you want to meet the go?

537
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 3: Yes?

538
00:33:47,119 --> 00:33:49,559
Speaker 10: Well, rest easy. There will be no need for you

539
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,519
to speak more of the language. Must a ghost have

540
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,279
need of words? Once we arrive at Bangkok, you will

541
00:33:56,319 --> 00:33:59,519
be spirited from one place to another, my friend, as

542
00:33:59,559 --> 00:33:59,960
a ghost.

543
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 9: Fasten your seat belt, kindly fasten your seat belt.

544
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 2: We are coming into the Don Guang Fie.

545
00:34:08,159 --> 00:34:10,679
Speaker 9: Well, so far this has been too easy. Rang going

546
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:12,960
to a secret airport and Siam, will you pick me

547
00:34:13,039 --> 00:34:15,000
up on this plane? And here we are in Bangkok.

548
00:34:16,079 --> 00:34:19,400
Is this another hidden the field? Louis No, not exactly.

549
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,280
What do you mean, not exactly?

550
00:34:21,679 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 10: Oh, I should say that at about eight hundred jets

551
00:34:25,039 --> 00:34:28,800
on hand about the field. Huh, fasten your seat belt.

552
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:29,119
Speaker 6: Look.

553
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,559
Speaker 1: I hope you'll be with us then in the meantime.
