WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.360 It's time now for Edmond O'Brien as Johnny Dolla, Liukraiger, 2 00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:08.000 mister Dollar. Yeah, Lou, what's up? 3 00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:10.439 They found the bolt a few miles off the Atlantic 4 00:00:10.480 --> 00:00:11.480 side of Saint Croix. 5 00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:14.240 Oh, she was empty. Neither one of them aboard. 6 00:00:14.359 --> 00:00:17.280 No, from what I understand, it looks like there was trouble. 7 00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:17.679 All right. 8 00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:21.359 How's that blood stains? I guess signs of a struggle. 9 00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:24.280 The engine had run until it was out of gas. 10 00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:26.760 As sure as the boat. Huh, yeah, they must be. Oh, 11 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.760 they're sure. It's registered to Willard South. All right, where 12 00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:31.399 can I see it? 13 00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:33.799 Well, they won't have it in for another thirty minutes. 14 00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.880 The police doctor is next to Royal Mail. You can't 15 00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:38.679 miss it. I'll meet you there if you want. 16 00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:40.759 Good Lou, I'll see in about twenty minutes. 17 00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.640 Edmond O'Brien and the Transcribed Adventure of the Man with 18 00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:55.000 the Action Packed Expense Account, America's populous freelance insurance. 19 00:00:54.600 --> 00:01:09.760 Investigator, Yours truly, Johnny Dalla. Expense account submitted by special 20 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:14.200 Investigator Johnny Dolla to Great Eastern Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut. 21 00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:17.680 The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation 22 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:23.799 of the Willard South medic expense account IDEM one hundred 23 00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:27.000 and forty three dollars and eighty cents airfan incidentals between 24 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.719 Hartford and the city of Charlotte Emily Island of Saint Thomas, 25 00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.359 Virgin Island Group. I arrived there two days after the 26 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.519 disappearance of your policyholders Willard South and his wife Georgina, 27 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:41.120 and one day after the report had been made by 28 00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:44.359 his foster mother. She was too upset to be questioned. 29 00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:46.959 But I did find a local guide and boat owner 30 00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:49.719 who claimed to know the boating habits of Willard South 31 00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.920 through a number of fishing trips. I made arrangements with 32 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:55.519 him to start my own search the next morning. But 33 00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.400 it was this guide, Luke Craiger, who phoned that second 34 00:01:58.400 --> 00:02:01.400 evening to tell me that South's crew have been found 35 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:14.400 empty old taller over here yellow. I didn't know if 36 00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.159 you'd spotted me or not. I hadn't you could do 37 00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.120 better on light down here. That is part of the 38 00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:23.719 romance of the island. MM. This is the boat. Huh? 39 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:26.960 Police officers still a board a native by the name 40 00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:27.400 of Shore. 41 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:31.039 I told him you were coming, that we can go aboard. 42 00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:40.159 Now the cabin officer. Show, yes, mister Dollar is here 43 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:46.199 boor to come inside. Then thanks for letting me aboard. 44 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.319 I was glad to meet you, mister Dalla. I was 45 00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.599 sent to your University of Iowa's to learn to be 46 00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:55.639 a policeman, A good school, I learned, but they taught me. 47 00:02:55.759 --> 00:02:57.639 But I've had no chance to learn. If what they 48 00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.280 taught me is right, it is our boast. There is 49 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.520 no crime in the Virgin Islands that has been right. 50 00:03:03.960 --> 00:03:07.159 But now this, well, that happens in the best of circles. 51 00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:09.719 Sooner or later. What do you make of it? Let 52 00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:14.080 me show you with my light near the wheel. See 53 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:17.080 the bullet still in the wood. 54 00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:19.479 Yes, I will take out the piece of the panel 55 00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:21.919 with a saw and they take the bullet from that. 56 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:27.479 There's bloodstained under the wheel. Are they more like it? 57 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.000 This is the large one, as if somebody fell there, 58 00:03:31.000 --> 00:03:32.360 As if somebody fell there. 59 00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:36.840 There are more here and more on the passageway, then 60 00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:41.319 on the deck there on the rail, as if somebody 61 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:47.199 climbed over the side or was pushed over. There's one 62 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:54.159 other thing back here, this piece of line. Look, it's 63 00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.840 been cut, mister Craig says. A small boat was usually 64 00:03:57.879 --> 00:03:58.719 tied to the stern. 65 00:03:59.120 --> 00:03:59.960 You're sure that I love? 66 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.560 Oh yeah, I'm sure will had always trailed a dinghy, 67 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.439 you know, a skiff unless he was trolling. 68 00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:09.120 Then he oystered at the board. But where is it now? 69 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.680 You're searching for it, aren't you? Yes, so is the 70 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:14.960 coast Guard boat. I wish you're luck. A little skiff 71 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:16.839 will be a lot harder to find than a cruiser 72 00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:20.879 like this. Well, I'll be anxious to learn of any developments, 73 00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:32.040 Officer Shoy. I'm staying at the Grand. Nothing had developed 74 00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.639 by noon. The next day. I spent the morning on 75 00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:38.360 routine legwork. In the twelve thirty I was back at 76 00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:41.519 the Willards South address. There was an old building with 77 00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.240 enough elevation to give its windows a view of Charlotte 78 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:48.000 Emily's pleasant Harbor. I'd known Willard South. 79 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:50.319 Spost aimother lived there, but I hadn't known about the 80 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:51.079 man who met me. 81 00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:51.639 At the door. 82 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:55.879 I'm Willard's brother. I was told you'd call yesterday, mister Dollar. 83 00:04:55.959 --> 00:05:01.240 Come in. Your mother was too upset to talk with 84 00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:04.399 me yesterday. You've gotten the news on what they found. 85 00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:06.439 I suppose, yes. I went down to see the boat. 86 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.360 Has anything further been learned. Oh not, you sit down, 87 00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:12.079 mister Dollar. It's cooler here on the Verandah, ain't you. 88 00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:16.199 I wasn't here yesterday because I was searching for Willard's 89 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:16.680 boat too. 90 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.839 I'm surprised to learn Willard has a brother. I've asked 91 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.600 a lot of questions about him in the village. Nobody 92 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:24.079 mentioned you. 93 00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:27.600 Well, I'm only here a few days a year. My 94 00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.199 home is in Tampa. I arrived the first of the 95 00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:32.040 week Tuesday. 96 00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:34.480 Mmm. I'm glad I met you before I had to 97 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.639 see a mother. It's a lot easier to be blunt 98 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:42.120 with a brother. Blunt, mister Dollar. About Willard's reputation on 99 00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:45.399 the island, I can't seem to find anybody who doesn't 100 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:48.600 hate him. I'm afraid you won't either. Do you know 101 00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.199 anyone who hated him enough to shoot him? Well, I 102 00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:54.759 hardly know how to answer that. I know a number 103 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.120 of men have been hurt seriously by the ones that 104 00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:01.879 have lost wives. Yes, do you think he's dead? I 105 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.959 don't know. The Only thing I'm sure of is that 106 00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.519 there was a shooting on his boat and somebody was hurt. 107 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:10.920 I'm told your brother and his wife were seen leaving 108 00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:15.040 on it. At dusk night before last. Is that right? Yes, 109 00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:19.399 they'd packed an even meal. Meal had never been eaten. Well, 110 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:22.560 little trips like this a regular habit of the Oh, no, 111 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:23.519 they weren't at all. 112 00:06:23.560 --> 00:06:27.480 It was a special occasion. Georgina has never stopped hoping 113 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:29.439 she could reform Willard and win him back. 114 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.680 This trip was one more of her efforts. Did they 115 00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:36.079 say where they were going? No, but I thought it 116 00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:36.879 would be Cobra. 117 00:06:37.480 --> 00:06:39.079 That's a night at about twenty miles from here, in 118 00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:42.959 a westerly direction. Mother said, they started that way, but 119 00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.959 the boat was found almost forty miles in the other direction. 120 00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:51.319 It's a matter of sixty miles, Yes, sixty miles, mister Dollar. 121 00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:53.920 What could have happened in those sixty miles? I don't 122 00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:57.000 know yet, but I hope to find out. You knew 123 00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.480 about the skiff being cutlers, Yes, they told me. 124 00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:02.319 But well, dear yes, mother, who's with you? 125 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:04.079 Is there any news? 126 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:07.600 Nothing yet? Mother, This is mister Dollar from the insurance covernment. 127 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:08.680 How do you do, mister dollar? 128 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:11.879 Missus south, I'm sorry I have to meet you at 129 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:12.519 a time like this. 130 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.600 A great many crises in the past ten years have 131 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:20.199 revolved around my son Willard. I've conditioned myself to expect him, 132 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:24.920 even his death by violence, if that should be, Mother, please, 133 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:27.399 But if harm has come to Georgina. 134 00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:29.800 There's no evidence of that, missus South, well, if. 135 00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.759 It does, I shall hold myself responsible mother, because I 136 00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:35.360 allowed her to become the wife of the beast I 137 00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:40.199 have called my son. 138 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:48.040 There was a rare situation. There was no actual evidence 139 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.879 that Willard South had been murdered, but almost everyone I 140 00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:53.600 talked to seemed to think he had been, simply because 141 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.439 there were so many motives. One of the people who 142 00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.800 didn't think so was a newcomer to the island, So 143 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.839 Robertson there to take advantage of the six weeks divorce law. 144 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:07.279 Who told you about me? 145 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:10.480 A bartender up the street? He said, you and South 146 00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:12.199 had been seen together recently. 147 00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:14.680 Yes, I know him. 148 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:17.560 As a matter of fact, I've spent quite a bit 149 00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:20.399 of time with him in the last couple of weeks. 150 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:21.720 Where do you think he is? 151 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:25.079 But I I don't know. 152 00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:26.399 Do you think he's dead? 153 00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:30.160 No? No, I don't. 154 00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:31.720 Most people do. 155 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.120 Well, I can't help that. I know a lot of 156 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:36.480 people don't like him. 157 00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:40.559 Would there be anyone close to you that doesn't like him. 158 00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:41.559 No, there wouldn't. 159 00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:45.320 I'm here alone when you see him. 160 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.960 Last the afternoon before he and his wife disappeared in 161 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:48.440 their boat. 162 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:51.120 You answered that almost as if you knew you'd be 163 00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:51.919 ansked the question. 164 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.559 Well, I didn't. I just remembered it was only a 165 00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:57.399 couple of days ago. 166 00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:00.000 But you wouldn't remember his mentioning anybody who might be 167 00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.480 out after his scalp. Eh. I understand he enjoys. 168 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.279 That sort of thing you mentioned anybody. 169 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:07.000 Why are you holding back, missus Robinson? 170 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:09.039 Nothing. I don't have anything to hold back. 171 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.080 Did he ever say anything to you about getting rid 172 00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:11.559 of his wife? 173 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:12.840 I don't know what you mean. 174 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:14.799 Look all we have to work where there's a bullet 175 00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:16.960 hole in the boat and some bloodstains that could have 176 00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:18.600 come from her or from him. 177 00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:20.440 He never said anything. 178 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:21.399 And what are you afraid of? 179 00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:21.960 I'm not. 180 00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:27.720 Look, mister Dollar, Please, I I don't want to get 181 00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:28.840 my name mixed up in this. 182 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:31.360 If I can help it, I'm here sort of. I'm 183 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:32.440 good behavior. 184 00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.159 I know I was wrong to see him because he 185 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:38.559 was married, But but what just because I. 186 00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:39.080 Did see him? 187 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:40.600 I don't think I have to get mixed up in 188 00:09:40.600 --> 00:09:43.320 things like shooting something. I don't know about it all. 189 00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:46.440 I guess you can't be blamed for that. You don't 190 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:50.039 have to get mixed up in it unless you already 191 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:59.720 are all. That day plane searched the sea for the 192 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:03.679 miss skiff. Boats too swept back and forth between the islands. 193 00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:07.159 It wouldn't seem possible that anything they missed would ever 194 00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:14.240 be found. But it was that evening, after the planes 195 00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:15.879 had given up in order to get back to their 196 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:19.320 fields before dark, a radio report was received from one 197 00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:19.919 of the boats. 198 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:23.919 The skiff had been found, and in it, still alive, 199 00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:26.120 was Missus with itself. 200 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:32.360 I was with Officer Shoy when the boat was docked 201 00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.519 under the steady hand of a leathery old skipper with 202 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:39.320 the help of one get some pains over, General, what's 203 00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:42.360 got here?

She's been put through a hard time. 211 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.639 She gets turned over to doctor Gorr before she talks 212 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:12.399 to anybody else. 213 00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:15.679 What about her husband? Did she say what happened. 214 00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:16.559 Yes she did. 215 00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:20.480 She's seen him shot down before her very eyes, and 216 00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.559 his dead body heaved to the sharks. 217 00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:25.399 And then somebody go fetch doctor Gorr. 218 00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:43.919 She needs some work, else she'll die. 219 00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:47.559 We'll return you to the second act of yours, truly, 220 00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:51.240 Johnny Dollar, in just a moment.

It wasn't until the next morning that doctor 232 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:38.639 God decided Missus South was strong enough to be questioned. 233 00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:42.080 He'd taken her to the single small hospital and Charlotte 234 00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:46.679 Emily at ten, he beckoned from the door to a room. 235 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:49.840 I think it'll be all right, but please don't tire her. 236 00:12:50.519 --> 00:12:54.519 Mister teller. Yeah, I want you to question her. I 237 00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:56.519 never learned about a case like this one. 238 00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:00.159 I never did either anything. You say, all right, doctor. 239 00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:08.279 Georgina, this is Officer Shoy and this is mister Doner. Yes, 240 00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:10.559 mister Dollar is here to ask you some questions. But 241 00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.240 I don't want you to let him tire you. I'll 242 00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:18.279 try not to. Missus Allen, why are you here? I 243 00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:19.120 was sent down from the. 244 00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:22.279 States when you and your husband disappeared by your insurance company. 245 00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:24.000 Huh I see. 246 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:27.399 Oh, I know it's pretty horrible to go back over it, 247 00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:30.000 but we've got to find out just what happened in 248 00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:32.159 that boat, and the quicker we do it, the quicker 249 00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:33.559 we can get to the bottom of it. 250 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:36.240 I'll try to help. 251 00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:38.600 Captain Bracken told us just the bad details. 252 00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:41.200 He is the boat captain who found you. Remember I 253 00:13:41.320 --> 00:13:42.000 mentioned his name. 254 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:42.480 Uh. 255 00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:46.159 Yes, he told us you saw somebody shoot your husband. 256 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:47.480 Who was it? 257 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:53.360 I don't know. There were two men. I've never seen 258 00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:53.879 them before. 259 00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:55.799 How did they get aboard? 260 00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:56.200 Missus? 261 00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:56.480 Sound? 262 00:13:56.759 --> 00:14:02.840 Oh? We run a widow glibra almost halfway. 263 00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:06.039 I think it was dark, and we saw a light 264 00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:10.440 blinking from another boat. Will said it was signal and 265 00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:14.559 somebody was in trouble, and we went over. This man 266 00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:17.080 said they'd run out of fuel and asked if we 267 00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:23.519 had any despair. But when Will pulled alongside it, this 268 00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:24.879 man jumped on our boat. 269 00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:26.080 Gun. 270 00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:29.320 Fuck d It's all right, Georgina. 271 00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:30.879 Don't go on if you don't want to. 272 00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:37.120 He shot shot Will, that's all it. He shot him, 273 00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:40.399 and then the other man jumped aboard to him. 274 00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:42.519 What did they say? 275 00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:44.799 I didn't say any anything. 276 00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:46.240 You think your husband knew them? 277 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:49.120 No, No, he didn't know them. 278 00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:50.080 What did they do? Then? 279 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:55.080 Well, one of them hit me because I was screaming up. 280 00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:58.720 I was wearing a bracelet me. He grabbed it off 281 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:02.080 my roost and and then me take off two rings 282 00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:03.399 and get him to women. 283 00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:06.600 They took Will's wallet and they dragged him out, and 284 00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:08.720 then they pushed him into the water. 285 00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:13.279 Now I don't remember anymore, but. 286 00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:18.799 It's all right, Georgian, and nobody can hurt you now. 287 00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:22.480 No, generally, I think we'd better. 288 00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:25.399 Let her rest now, sure, doctor, I'm sorry we had 289 00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:26.320 a barley of missus. 290 00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:33.000 Sum I'm I'm sorry. 291 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:36.039 Don't be Considering what she's been through, I think she 292 00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:36.879 did very well. 293 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:40.679 Actually, her physical condition except for exhaustion is quite good. 294 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:43.679 She did have water during the time she was adrift, 295 00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:47.759 and some shelter from the sun. What do you make 296 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:48.120 of it? 297 00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:52.960 The whole thing seems pretty brutal for simple robbery. Say, 298 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:55.759 where's the nearest present? Surely for Puerto Rico. 299 00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:58.759 Now that's something that had not occurred to me. 300 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:02.600 Escaped vis might carry out such a ruthless attack, might 301 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:02.919 they not? 302 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:06.159 Yeah, even more so, I will send cables to both 303 00:16:06.200 --> 00:16:06.919 of those prisons. 304 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:17.879 I think you'd better. There was little enough to go on, 305 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:20.360 but it was obviously useless to try to get any 306 00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:24.120 more information from missus South thing. Doctor Guy at every 307 00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:27.440 right to insist that we leave his patient belong. I 308 00:16:27.559 --> 00:16:30.120 was ashore. He went to his headquarters to cablest questions, 309 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.720 and I went back to the waterfront. The skiff was 310 00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:35.240 still on the dock, but before I even got to it, 311 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:36.320 I was hailed. 312 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:39.600 Hey you're there. Whatever your name is? 313 00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:43.519 HOHI Captain Bracken, boh oh? 314 00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:45.000 How's the invalid? Have you heard? 315 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.559 Yeah? I just left her. She'll be okay, Eh, lots 316 00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:48.600 of spunk that one. 317 00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:50.480 What are your figures behind it? 318 00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:53.240 She wasn't strong enough to tell us much, and I 319 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:55.799 was a show. Is checking the possibility that those two 320 00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:59.080 men she talks about might be escaped convict say they 321 00:16:59.159 --> 00:16:59.639 might have been. 322 00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:04.079 I can't see anybody like that leaving her alive to 323 00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:05.000 talk about it. 324 00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:08.279 No matter how low the get. There's then the can't 325 00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:11.720 kill a woman. I suppose, Eh, what are you doing 326 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:12.039 down here? 327 00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:13.920 I want to take a look at that skiff by daylight. 328 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:17.039 The escape prisoner theory is too long a chance to 329 00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:20.480 rest on. It still may have been a local job. Now. 330 00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:23.440 I hate to see it turn out that way somehow. 331 00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:26.319 Why do you say that, oh, this wants to. 332 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.279 Be a peaceful island. It's the truth. Nobody wastes any 333 00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:34.039 affection on willing. But if it been downright fitting, if 334 00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:37.000 two escape convicts done that devilion. 335 00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:46.559 I spent thirty minutes looking over the skiff, in another 336 00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:50.400 hour going over will it South's cruiser again? Nothing I 337 00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:53.359 dug out of either one added up. Neither did the 338 00:17:53.400 --> 00:17:56.039 results of a trip to the cable office. There had 339 00:17:56.079 --> 00:18:00.000 been no recent escapes from the prisons right from the beginning. 340 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:03.680 For all my prying and all my questions, I hadn't 341 00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:07.799 gotten one positive lead. But by this time there were 342 00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:10.440 so many things I couldn't put my finger on that. 343 00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:12.759 I began to reason, why not make a weapon? But 344 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:16.680 just that? So I started again with Luke Crag, the 345 00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:20.000 first person i'd met in the investigation. I found him 346 00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:26.839 about his boat. Donald once got into you anyway. I'm 347 00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:28.960 sick and tired of the run around and double talk 348 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:31.960 I've been getting. I don't get it. You will. You 349 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:34.119 were quick to make yourself available to me when I 350 00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:37.720 showed up here. Why, Gregor, I thought you needed some help. 351 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:40.000 You wanted a boat, I had one. I think you 352 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:42.480 mean somebody else needed help. That piece of line you 353 00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:45.000 pointed out, I was a shaw in me on South's cruiser, 354 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:47.880 A short piece. Who cut it? I don't know how 355 00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:49.519 should I know who cut it? It's one of the 356 00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:52.160 things you better get straight. You said it had been 357 00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:54.440 used to tow the skiff, that the line of the 358 00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:57.319 skiff had not been cut. What does that mean that 359 00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:01.079 you were lying? Now? I'm no sailor, but why cut 360 00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:03.440 a line when loosening a couple of half hitches would 361 00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:05.799 free the skiff? But it was cut, wasn't it? The 362 00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:08.480 line you pointed out was cut, And you made your 363 00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:12.160 point that Will at South always trailed the skiff. Why 364 00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:14.079 because you wanted the search for it to go on, 365 00:19:14.240 --> 00:19:16.200 because you knew his wife was alive and would be 366 00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:18.519 found in it. I think the tropics have got you. Dollar. 367 00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:21.079 You don't think I can break this case down, do you? 368 00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:23.519 Because half of the non tourists on the island are 369 00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:26.119 willing to lie to cover up for her. I don't 370 00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:28.839 care how noble their loyalty is. This case is going 371 00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:31.960 to be broken down because there's a reason Coast Guard 372 00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:34.440 planes can search for three days and not find her. 373 00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:38.519 But that night after Doc, your friend Bracken can her 374 00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:41.119 story of the other boat and the two men. If 375 00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:43.440 the South Cruiser had been stolen, the other boat would 376 00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:45.480 have been found. Or do you know what happened? I 377 00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:48.160 know that a doctor will be here unless than eighteen hours. 378 00:19:48.160 --> 00:19:51.680 It will prove that Georgina South did not spend three 379 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:55.279 days adrift.
