Speaker 1: episode of the Adventures of Philip Marlow. The original air
Speaker 1: date April the twenty fifth of nineteen fifty and the
Speaker 1: title is The High Collared Cape.
Speaker 2: Get This and Get It Straight. Crime is a sucker's road.
Speaker 2: Those who travel it wind up in the gut of
Speaker 2: the prison of the grave. This time a nervous break
Speaker 2: down in a driving rain, A cape with a high
Speaker 2: color and a tiny sliver of glass led me from
Speaker 2: the ballet and a beautiful dancer to the edge of
Speaker 2: a cliff. It happened like this.
Speaker 3: From the pen of Raymond Chandler, outstanding author of prime fiction,
Speaker 3: comes his most famous.
Speaker 4: Character in the Adventures of Philip Marlowe.
Speaker 3: Now with Gerald Moore starred as Philip Marlowe, we bring
Speaker 3: you tonight's exciting story the high colored cape.
Speaker 5: Mm hmmm.
Speaker 2: Nothing like a drink and a good book and a
Speaker 2: rainy night and what a nice Oh no, all right,
Speaker 2: don't spray in your finger.
Speaker 6: I'm most sorry to intrude on you this time at night,
Speaker 6: but I may have waited.
Speaker 7: Too long already.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, looks.
Speaker 6: I felt something dreadful was going to happen to even know. No,
Speaker 6: I'm sure that you must find him for me to prove.
Speaker 2: Wait, who is Andrea bad Matter? Who are you?
Speaker 6: I am Vivian Northway, Prima Ballerina Ballet.
Speaker 2: Dumont Prima Ballerina.
Speaker 6: I'm forres sorry of the company, My dear, dear old friend,
Speaker 6: my teacher, the man who has been like a father
Speaker 6: to me, That is android Andrei. That do we must
Speaker 6: help him at once? Well, why don't you, mister molloy.
Speaker 6: I fear for some time that Andrei was on the
Speaker 6: brink of losing his mind. I can understand, fomented by
Speaker 6: a thousand frustrations. He will never dance. He's been crippled,
Speaker 6: but he's consumed with a passion for dancing and drives
Speaker 6: himself to express his genius to the clumsy feet of it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's very interesting, no Ida, But I don't see
Speaker 2: why you came to midnight massode Way. What can I do?
Speaker 6: Help me to find him? Yesterday so something else happened
Speaker 6: to Andrea. I don't know what, but it upset him.
Speaker 6: Then today at noon, when this awful rain started, he disappeared.
Speaker 2: Oh God, Kevin, Yeah, what about it?
Speaker 6: I'm be late for the performance. Here take this ticketing,
Speaker 6: Please come to the theater, mister Marlowe.
Speaker 5: I beg you.
Speaker 6: I'll pay you anything you'll ask. Only promised me you'll.
Speaker 2: Come well like please, okay, man, So I'll be there
Speaker 2: as soon as I can. Ballerina swept out of my
Speaker 2: apartment like a frightened whirlwind. As I got dressed all
Speaker 2: over again for an evening in ballet, which I needed
Speaker 2: like a cute appendicitis, I saw that the ticket she
Speaker 2: left was number twenty seven J at the Great Arts Theater,
Speaker 2: showing Ballet of the World, sponsored by one missus Imogene Wyatt.
Speaker 2: Now I got to the lobby half soaked, near the
Speaker 2: end of the second act when I see a shure
Speaker 2: edge of the program at me and hush hushed me.
Speaker 2: Inside the audience was a small quester about it die
Speaker 2: hards down front, which left me in twenty seven J
Speaker 2: feeling like Midway Island. My client, Vivian Oddway was the
Speaker 2: whole show. When I saw the finale coming, I slipped
Speaker 2: down a side aisle and into the wings, just in
Speaker 2: time to catch a beef at the stage door between
Speaker 2: a long wolf faced intruder and a pudgy domain.
Speaker 7: Yes, Kellie after, but even if you was you wouldn't
Speaker 7: get in.
Speaker 4: She left strict daughters, don't finish.
Speaker 7: Now get out and stay out.
Speaker 5: Hey, But let me tell you something.
Speaker 8: I brought my back getting publicy platform and a widow
Speaker 8: and to sappen and the gene whire is going to
Speaker 8: be sorry.
Speaker 5: She fired me. I'm gonna see it for personal.
Speaker 7: Get out of the takelly.
Speaker 4: Nuts toward his whole troop of stuck up bressols.
Speaker 6: Mister Morrow, Yeah, coming this tight to my sea.
Speaker 2: Tell me have you heard from Andre la Duvin? No?
Speaker 6: Nothing, but I did remember something that that nail Andre
Speaker 6: I once mentioned that he had a friend here in
Speaker 6: Los Angeles, in mister Baker, who will live to take
Speaker 6: Windthrop Arms, the Winterrop Hotel, the Winterrops. Something come in,
Speaker 6: mister Martin, Thank you Andre. Maybe there I'm grasping its straws,
Speaker 6: I know, but if if his mind is gone and
Speaker 6: he's lost, I'm so afraid for him.
Speaker 2: All I take it easy, honey, take it easy.
Speaker 6: And oh no, sure nothing in mister Marlowe. He was
Speaker 6: going to find him forrest. He's a private detective.
Speaker 5: I see wonderful.
Speaker 2: I am George Medlin, No Vivian.
Speaker 7: I'll be at the hotel. If I can help, please
Speaker 7: do call on me.
Speaker 9: And oh, my dear, you'll shine as beautifully tonight as
Speaker 9: the full moon.
Speaker 4: Simply we mere stars were hardly visible beside you.
Speaker 2: Best man with a he's very sweet. What hotel did
Speaker 2: he mean?
Speaker 6: The Wheelshore gardens most of the ballystat How about you
Speaker 6: say I have a house studio and look at Mountain
Speaker 6: eight fifty. No, no, I'm going to wait here in
Speaker 6: the theater. If Andre should remember him come back, I'd
Speaker 6: want to be here. He's a very sick man.
Speaker 2: After I left the theater, I quick checking a phone
Speaker 2: book showed a winter Farm's apartment hotel on Havenhurst Drive.
Speaker 2: It's just below Fountain Avenue. When I got there, I
Speaker 2: found the name Baker stuck over the mailbox to Apartment one.
Speaker 2: A went inside and out to the door. Yes, Andre,
Speaker 2: La do what do you want? Oh? You're friends at
Speaker 2: the theater worried about you?
Speaker 5: My friends. I have no friends.
Speaker 2: George Melacoff's worried about you.
Speaker 5: George Meddicoff, my friends.
Speaker 2: So it's Vivian, ddly, Vivian, that dear child.
Speaker 5: What's will it become of?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: What do you mean? What's happened? Who are you? My
Speaker 2: swordways sent me to find you. She's waiting for you
Speaker 2: at the theater, waiting the theater.
Speaker 5: Why Ballet's finished?
Speaker 2: What's that? This is?
Speaker 5: Himo gen Wyat withdraws her support completely. There is no
Speaker 5: more ballet. You moaned and penniless, and all our work
Speaker 5: has been for nothing. I try to reason with heaven.
Speaker 2: Oh it was hit it.
Speaker 8: Afterward I drove here in the dark street, the rain slashing,
Speaker 8: clawing at me.
Speaker 2: Way, Andrea, where's your friend, mister Baker? This place is
Speaker 2: packed in marthfall Ah.
Speaker 5: He is in Europe. It is all right that I
Speaker 5: am here.
Speaker 2: He sent me.
Speaker 8: The key is long ago, said I could use his
Speaker 8: apartment in this car. I came here to be alone,
Speaker 8: to sink my shad. Andrea, what time was it when
Speaker 8: you left missus White yesterday? I can't remember, only that
Speaker 8: it was dark, very dark, and it was such a
Speaker 8: difficult drive. Yeah, tomorrow she will notify her lawyer to
Speaker 8: alter the papers.
Speaker 2: Oh that that.
Speaker 5: I wish you were dead, you hear me, I wish that.
Speaker 5: Imogine Wyatt? What did?
Speaker 2: What was best? Way you were?
Speaker 3: What is it?
Speaker 5: Do you see anything?
Speaker 2: Oh? Now, look, Andrea, bout your headache. Wouldn't you like
Speaker 2: to see a doctor?
Speaker 5: Doctor?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 5: No, I'll be all right. I am I to understand.
Speaker 2: Yes, sure, do me a favor for your own say
Speaker 2: stay here tonight. Inside. I want to check a couple
Speaker 2: of things and then I'll be back, Yes, I'll stay.
Speaker 2: Where else would I go? Now? I left. I was
Speaker 2: convinced that if the belllet impresario hadn't already slipped his trolley,
Speaker 2: another slight bump would do it. But two things bother me.
Speaker 2: So first I walked around to the window again, but
Speaker 2: the neat trace of an eavesdropper and washed away by
Speaker 2: the rain. Adam number two was the strong imprint to
Speaker 2: drive home in the rain. It made and Andrea's troubled mind.
Speaker 2: I wanted to know why the garage was under the
Speaker 2: building on the far side, though was unlocked, and a
Speaker 2: small light burned in the back. I finally found a
Speaker 2: car asleep close to the ground Hudson registered to Allen
Speaker 2: Baker and found it for the first grim discrepancy. The
Speaker 2: left headlight and fender was still streaked with rain marks,
Speaker 2: but the right had been white clean. When I reached
Speaker 2: in and switched on the lights that sensed it, the
Speaker 2: glass and the right headlight had been replaced. It was
Speaker 2: brand new. Hey Dan, Hi, are you up to just
Speaker 2: testing my friend's car? I may borrow it you the attendant.
Speaker 10: Youn't here last night thinking around with this your car?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 2: Maybe it was mister Lado. He had it out last night.
Speaker 5: Oh it wasn't It was somebody else.
Speaker 12: I heard her.
Speaker 7: No, I see you when I come out of my
Speaker 7: back room.
Speaker 5: There the sky big.
Speaker 10: He took off like a scared turkey, had a big
Speaker 10: black capan with a high collar flapping in the wind.
Speaker 2: Better watch it, old time that stops getting your eyesight.
Speaker 7: Looked like a cape to me.
Speaker 10: Well, I looked around, I didn't see her. I'm done,
Speaker 10: so I went back to my room. What time was
Speaker 10: all this, Oh way past midnight, maybe one or two o'clock.
Speaker 10: Couldn't pay much attention, by the way, was careful and nip.
Speaker 2: No thanks, I'd like to use the phone. You got one?
Speaker 5: Oh sure, sure, you're bed in the corner. I'll show you.
Speaker 2: I'll find it. The call is personal to your mind.
Speaker 10: I shall say, not herself, sunny hand, the old to
Speaker 10: even be curious.
Speaker 2: My first call was to a death sergeant on the
Speaker 2: Police Traffic Bureau, when I identified myself and asked about
Speaker 2: a hip and run accident, possibly on Fountain sometime before
Speaker 2: midnight yesterday. It was a pause while he checked the record,
Speaker 2: and then on.
Speaker 12: The button mister Marlow. We identified him by his blue
Speaker 12: shield medical car. One Lyle kretch Hour apparently stepped out
Speaker 12: from between parked cars on Fountain Avenue between Orange Drive
Speaker 12: and Roxbury was struck by an unidentified vehicle at about
Speaker 12: eleven ten last night. Conditions serious, Now what.
Speaker 7: Do you know about this? Mister Marlow?
Speaker 2: I get in touch with the latest sergeant. Thanks stepped
Speaker 2: out from between parts. It's Philip Marlow. I want to
Speaker 2: talk to Vivian old Way.
Speaker 5: Oh hang on.
Speaker 2: Here, okay.
Speaker 6: You found.
Speaker 2: Yeah for the present, but listen, Vivian, I gotta talk
Speaker 2: to Imogene Wyatt. Where does she live?
Speaker 7: Missus?
Speaker 6: W Yeah, Beverly here, twenty one coming with her?
Speaker 2: Twenty one can meet me there right away. Well, yeah,
Speaker 2: I may have a couple of rough answers for you.
Speaker 11: Baby.
Speaker 4: I'm still in car.
Speaker 2: That doesn't matter, all.
Speaker 6: Right, I put something on over it. I'll be just
Speaker 6: as soon as I can.
Speaker 2: Between Smith Streets and Visibility zero. It was a solid
Speaker 2: half hour drive from the Winter Bombs out of the
Speaker 2: swank Cameo Terrace. When I pulled up at number twenty one,
Speaker 2: I wondered what the wealthy widow had spent her money on.
Speaker 2: Ours was so small it must have been shingled with
Speaker 2: twenty dollars bills to meet the zoning restrictions. I just
Speaker 2: started up the soggy gravel path toward the door when
Speaker 2: it came. Because I started to run for the house
Speaker 2: of Green Convertible, I hadn't noticed before Raw Delight suddenly
Speaker 2: and disappeared down the side street, and I didn't have
Speaker 2: time to worry about it. Inside I found this is
Speaker 2: white on a dannial floor, cutting a losing battle with
Speaker 2: the distance to the telephone.
Speaker 4: Accident.
Speaker 7: That's nice.
Speaker 5: I was going to ruin.
Speaker 2: No, she was dead. I looked through the rest of
Speaker 2: the small and now silent house and Harry I found
Speaker 2: nothing more constructive than the rear door wide open. I
Speaker 2: got back to the living room just in time to
Speaker 2: see my client, Vivian odd Way, bizarre and a short,
Speaker 2: froffy ballet skirt and long white hose standing in the
Speaker 2: front door.
Speaker 6: Something's wrong, isn't it?
Speaker 2: It's one way to put it. How'd you get here?
Speaker 2: Vivian in the car? What do you know that drives
Speaker 2: are Green convertible?
Speaker 6: Sculley Haskill publicity man.
Speaker 2: But why the guy I saw on a beef at
Speaker 2: the theater tonight what's happened? Geene Wyatt was just shot
Speaker 2: to dead? And that puts two items of business up
Speaker 2: on Dick. First, a check call Andre la dou Andre
Speaker 2: Andre off chance that he can drive faster than I can.
Speaker 2: After that, a personal call on mister Haskell. You can
Speaker 2: fill that one in yourself.
Speaker 6: Malo Andre couldn't have. He couldn't.
Speaker 2: We'll see. Hang on tight, baby, Let's get it over with.
Speaker 4: In just a moment.
Speaker 3: The second act of Philip Marlowe. But first, the great
Speaker 3: international comedian and Beatrice Lily will be Ben Crosby's guest
Speaker 3: on CBS this Wednesday Night. The CBS Bing Crosby Show
Speaker 3: always guarantees enjoyment, so be listening when be Lily joins
Speaker 3: Bing on most of these same CBS stations this Wednesday night,
Speaker 3: and now with our star Gerald Moore, the second act
Speaker 3: of Philip Marlowe and Tonight's story, The High Colored keep.
Speaker 2: Made a cock eyed picture, a beautiful ballerina miles away
Speaker 2: from the stage, yet in full color drench costume and
Speaker 2: gaping through tears, street grease paints sudden death. It's a
Speaker 2: good time for me to start checking out. Andrea Lead
Speaker 2: do the highest strong anversario was first. He was still
Speaker 2: at the apartment. I could cross him off as having
Speaker 2: done it personally.
Speaker 12: Hello, Hello, who did you want?
Speaker 2: Sorry? Wrong number?
Speaker 6: Marlow? He was home, honey, You couldn't suspect him. Marlow
Speaker 6: Wyandre is the sweetest man in the word.
Speaker 2: Easy, honey. I didn't say the dude did it, and
Speaker 2: as being home doesn't say he didn't. People sometimes pay
Speaker 2: other people to do that dirty work for me.
Speaker 6: You know, just what are you trying to say?
Speaker 2: I had made a final do and I did also.
Speaker 2: I found he was suffering from shock and has been
Speaker 2: since last night when Missus Wyatt told him she was
Speaker 2: going to fold the show.
Speaker 11: Yeah yeah, Vivian would run.
Speaker 6: Him, and half a dozen more I couldn't.
Speaker 2: They's all right, so you've all got plenty of motive.
Speaker 6: What about Huskell? We know he hated Missus? Why it
Speaker 6: isn't revenge? Motives revenge? And the fact that you saw
Speaker 6: his car, why do you insist on understanding him?
Speaker 2: Don't? There's another angle. It's called hit and run, and
Speaker 2: I know that it ties in tight with La Doo,
Speaker 2: Missus Wyatt and the actual killer. And I don't understand
Speaker 2: neither yet. Look, do you know where Scully Haskell lives.
Speaker 2: Where does he hang out?
Speaker 6: Sometimes at the bar at Wielshire Garden.
Speaker 2: Tuta, Okay, I'll try it. You go back to your
Speaker 2: place up on the hills. I'll find it when I
Speaker 2: got some answers. Now hurry up and get out of here,
Speaker 2: will YEA. Somebody might have heard the shot and called it.
Speaker 2: Somebody did hear the shot? Go on, get out. Oh
Speaker 2: but come on, heavy and get a cab and go
Speaker 2: straight home.
Speaker 11: Do you crying there?
Speaker 2: Oh God, I'm trying it.
Speaker 7: Hey, hey, heavy and you forgot your car?
Speaker 11: Heavy and you.
Speaker 2: Oh no, baby, you forgot your cap. For a long second,
Speaker 2: I just held the titanstead Hi elizabethan color enough gathered
Speaker 2: cloth or rig o lion sides. It could have been
Speaker 2: what the garage attendant thought he had seen running away
Speaker 2: from the car that they would used. But the garage
Speaker 2: attendant could have been mistaken too. I told myself that
Speaker 2: leaping higher conclusions was strictly for ballet dancers. I jammed
Speaker 2: the cape into a small bungle and left via the
Speaker 2: surface engines. Just the police sirened up. I took the
Speaker 2: Great Circle route back to my car, tossed the cape
Speaker 2: on the seat next to me and drove fast for
Speaker 2: the bar at the Wiltshire Gardens Hotel. It was a
Speaker 2: kind of flattering pink merrit place where they are dirt
Speaker 2: It long ago replaced the pretzel. But Haskell wasn't in sight.
Speaker 2: The only person around who could possibly be of any
Speaker 2: help to me was the delicate George millerical.
Speaker 7: Mister Margot, have you seen Vivian? I am beside myself
Speaker 7: with Wadi.
Speaker 11: He's all right, melicoch she's not.
Speaker 4: I know it is monsieur le dou that she still
Speaker 4: worries about him.
Speaker 2: Him in a little bit more, George, I'll tell me
Speaker 2: you know where I can find Scully Haskell.
Speaker 7: Yes, I do.
Speaker 11: He was just here for a drink. Where'd he go?
Speaker 7: You're being very bruce, mister Marvel, being.
Speaker 2: Very wide, Yeah, Bruce bruh.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well now look, George, without grant jetting out of your
Speaker 2: satin loafers, get this has been a murder and Vivian's
Speaker 2: ended up to a.
Speaker 11: Pretty flap skirt.
Speaker 7: How is Vivian concerned?
Speaker 2: Come on, boys, let's get out again.
Speaker 7: Where are we going, mister Marvel?
Speaker 11: Out to my car?
Speaker 2: Well, we can talk a rain stopped. Come on over here,
Speaker 2: you uh, you said somebody was murdered?
Speaker 11: Who was that?
Speaker 2: Missus? Whyatt she was shot? That might have been a
Speaker 2: Haskell because she discharged him. Maybe, oh, maybe something more complicated,
Speaker 2: like a hit and run accident that belongs to a
Speaker 2: duo but somebody wants to cover. Doesn't make any sense
Speaker 2: to you? He's a kind No should it No? What's more,
Speaker 2: it shouldn't the Vivian either.
Speaker 7: What are you getting at?
Speaker 2: There isn't time to expe and call it thinking out loud,
Speaker 2: thinking about this cape, for example, it belongs to Vivian
Speaker 2: about the testimony of a whiskey garage attendant, all of
Speaker 2: which makes me hope real hard that Haskell's the boy.
Speaker 2: More thinking out loud, Maybe look where can I find Haskell?
Speaker 9: The Paradise Court Motel on Vine He has a bungle
Speaker 9: of that number three?
Speaker 2: Thanks. Thanks. If you're really worried about Vivian, George going
Speaker 2: over to a place on Lookout Martin Road and she's
Speaker 2: not in good shape.
Speaker 11: Here, take this cape with you.
Speaker 7: What what did you cut yourself? Your fingers bleeding?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 2: And a slipper of glass, George West. It could have
Speaker 2: come from a broken headlight.
Speaker 9: Huh from my broken what what are you talking about,
Speaker 9: mister Marlin?
Speaker 11: The benefit of the dog.
Speaker 2: George keeps getting hoted to give it away?
Speaker 11: Bring this back to Vivian?
Speaker 2: Would you tell us she left it at missus Wyatt's
Speaker 2: and then I'm positive? Haskells man howlong George.
Speaker 11: Oh, quite, the name's Marlow. I want to talk to you, Haschal.
Speaker 5: Always bro get to chase her.
Speaker 7: I'm broken.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna stay broken until the first the next month.
Speaker 11: After that you can get in line.
Speaker 5: Oh, you're probably taught the finance company em.
Speaker 2: Jeene Wyatt's dead, Haskell, What did you say it? What's
Speaker 2: a gun for a lousy temper? Get back?
Speaker 5: Hey, wait a minute. I saw you at the theater
Speaker 5: tonight and I heard you.
Speaker 2: Which pushed me out in front. Now do we talk, Haschal?
Speaker 2: What missus Wyatt's murder? You were sloppy and you're off?
Speaker 11: You not.
Speaker 5: I didn't shoot her.
Speaker 2: I didn't even slips on kids.
Speaker 4: Oh I know she was shot.
Speaker 7: Doesn't prove my fitdot.
Speaker 2: Come on, why did you kill missus Wyatt?
Speaker 11: I did?
Speaker 2: Do you know she was shot?
Speaker 4: Because it happened just I got out of my car
Speaker 4: and started taught up place.
Speaker 7: I was calling up there, Arina or off. The shot
Speaker 7: scared me away. I had mallow.
Speaker 4: I was soft, but I didn't kill it.
Speaker 11: But interference on that hit and run you were covering
Speaker 11: with plenty of reason.
Speaker 7: What are you talking about?
Speaker 5: Hit and run?
Speaker 2: Hit and run?
Speaker 5: Pas nuts.
Speaker 6: Don't congratulations, Handsome, That's.
Speaker 11: Just what I had in mind.
Speaker 2: Close the door and stands still?
Speaker 7: Sure? Now what the name's Nancy Connick? Occupation ex friend
Speaker 7: of the unconsciousness.
Speaker 3: Don't look so worried, Handsome.
Speaker 7: I'm on your side.
Speaker 6: I had something in mind exactly like that left cross.
Speaker 5: You just threw.
Speaker 2: That. Yeah, what's your beef? I took this louse to
Speaker 2: a party with me last night and he got so
Speaker 2: stink and drunk that I'm still apologizing to people.
Speaker 7: He was with you last night, me and a couple
Speaker 7: of burden from eight thirty to five am.
Speaker 2: He never left, not for a second.
Speaker 7: The loud mouth was positive.
Speaker 5: Nobody could get along without him.
Speaker 7: What's that got to do with you?
Speaker 2: Too much? Tell Haskell, I'll be in touch, will you.
Speaker 2: I got to run? Oh what are you looking at?
Speaker 11: It's just a program from the ballet, is it?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Pascal has them all over the place after all.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, so oh so, Like I said, Nancy, I
Speaker 2: got a run. It was fifteen stop and go minutes
Speaker 2: from Haskell's place at the Hollywood Hills, and another five
Speaker 2: screeching up the paved snake that was Lookout Mountain Road.
Speaker 2: Finally it was there, out of my car and running
Speaker 2: toward number eight fifty seven, which was a collection of
Speaker 2: windows and a rustic log frame half jutting out into space.
Speaker 2: Around on the fact there was a wooden Sunday blow
Speaker 2: it on either side, huge rocks on the edge of
Speaker 2: the cliff directly below only the dark Barmer's Canyon from
Speaker 2: the end of the porch near me there was a
Speaker 2: long flight of stairs, and I started up, one careful,
Speaker 2: noiseless step at a time, my hands tied around the
Speaker 2: thirty eighth. Suddenly, in the wind light at the film
Speaker 2: slice Moon, I saw Vivian nordway back to the flimsy
Speaker 2: porch rail of face and ugly.
Speaker 13: Knot of t George inches away from her, and Brandish
Speaker 13: refused to kill missus Wyatt, mister half crazed answer or
Speaker 13: everything delicate, Jake, It's too late.
Speaker 9: Vivian Marlowe knows this cape was what the garage attendant saw.
Speaker 9: And do you know how because of a stupid little thing,
Speaker 9: a slipper up glass that was caught in it, which
Speaker 9: came from the broken headlights that the wearer of the
Speaker 9: cape replaced. A wearer who was covering up Andre la
Speaker 9: DU's hit and run accident, saw that he could have
Speaker 9: the pig what he wanted.
Speaker 6: You wor Mina was after Hatscal.
Speaker 7: He thinks has kill missus. Why he only hopes that.
Speaker 9: And he'll find out one way or another that the
Speaker 9: beautiful ballerina is guilty.
Speaker 7: Then he'll be forced to come back here after you us.
Speaker 7: Of course you're not videos.
Speaker 11: I am.
Speaker 9: The cape is mine, not yours. You only used it tonight.
Speaker 9: That's the only thing he doesn't know and never will,
Speaker 9: because you will have killed yourself after confessing to me.
Speaker 7: It's the only way video, you or me. But it's
Speaker 7: always been that way, hasn't it? Even in the ballet
Speaker 7: where one or the other of us had to be starved?
Speaker 7: Too bad? It wasn't I Yeah, crying, shame.
Speaker 6: Jump round there.
Speaker 2: It's a greater leap even for let's get out of here.
Speaker 2: A long time at police headquarters, but finally all concerned.
Speaker 2: It made this statement allow. It was more or less
Speaker 2: satisfied Andrea due never knew he'd hit anyone who was
Speaker 2: clear to hit and run. That left me in the
Speaker 2: ballerina driving into a friend's house where she was going
Speaker 2: to spend the night.
Speaker 6: Pila, I know you must have had enough of questions
Speaker 6: and answers.

Speaker 2: Vicious is anything I'd ever met on skid roll. And

Speaker 1: Welcome back. For whatever reason, this one wasn't hard to
Speaker 1: figure out. I begin to be suspicious of people whom

Speaker 1: But anyway, we do turn to listener comments and feedback,
Speaker 1: and we received a lot of positive comments regarding William
Speaker 1: Conrad and his appearance an episode sixteen sixty in fact,
Speaker 1: was one of our more liked episodes recently. More than
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty people liked it on Facebook, with
Speaker 1: four people tweeting it, so definitely well received. Guy said
Speaker 1: he was the original Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke on the radio.
Speaker 1: John says he was in so many roles on the radio.
Speaker 1: Always great to hear him, and Robert says would have
Speaker 1: been great if he had a detective show of his own. Well,
Speaker 1: definitely over the radio. Like I said, on television, he
Speaker 1: had Cannon, but there were some limitations on that.
Speaker 2: We do have.
Speaker 1: There's an episode of Escape that stars Bill Conory we're
Speaker 1: eventually going to play, and I think that's all the
