Yes, radio, mystery theater presents.
spk_0
Come in.
spk_0
Welcome.
spk_0
I'm E.G. Marshall.
spk_0
To flee vice is the beginning of virtue.
spk_0
And to rid oneself of folly is the beginning of wisdom.
spk_0
Yes, but given the state of affairs today,
spk_0
to avoid both folly and vice is a full-time job.
spk_0
And we are left with little energy or leisure for anything else.
spk_0
I wouldn't dream of it.
spk_0
Come on, Carter.
spk_0
It's completely against every moral principle.
spk_0
What's so terrible about it?
spk_0
I have my own sense of values.
spk_0
I don't care to discuss it any further.
spk_0
You ever get headaches, Carter?
spk_0
Yes, I suppose I do.
spk_0
Sometimes you want to know why?
spk_0
It's because your halo is on too tight.
spk_0
Our mystery drama, Jerry DeConvincer,
spk_0
was written especially for the mystery theater by Sam Dan
spk_0
and stars Paul Hecht.
spk_0
I'll be back shortly with that one.
spk_0
There is no vice so simple,
spk_0
but assumes some mark of virtue on its outward parts.
spk_0
For Mr. Shakespeare wrote that line,
spk_0
did he even dream that almost 500 years later
spk_0
it would become the theme of a permissive and self-indulgent society?
spk_0
Probably.
spk_0
Something's never changed.
spk_0
Officer Bernie Talon's patrol car is obscured by a clump of trees
spk_0
near the side of the road.
spk_0
You could say it's a speed trap,
spk_0
but then, if you're obeying the law, why should it matter?
spk_0
Well, Bernie, my boy, he was fined up where he is often.
spk_0
So, where's the fire at the yacht club officer?
spk_0
I had my radio on. I didn't feel anything.
spk_0
When I met his officer, my friend's boat caught fire.
spk_0
Oh, and you were speeding over at the help and put it out?
spk_0
I mean, there's nobody else around.
spk_0
So, what I meant was, how long is this sort of riot some been burning?
spk_0
I didn't say it was unfunny.
spk_0
spk_0
spk_0
spk_0
Now, what I said was that it had caught fire.
spk_0
That gives you the right to break the speed course.
spk_0
Oh, no, no, it doesn't.
spk_0
So, what does that?
spk_0
The fact that you drive in a fancy imported sports car officer,
spk_0
are you going to give me a ticket just because I'm driving an expensive car?
spk_0
Well, I could say I'm giving you a ticket because you're an old fella.
spk_0
I could say I'm giving you a ticket because there's an energy crisis in your waist and gasoline.
spk_0
I could say I'm giving you a ticket because guys like you
spk_0
who seem to be well-off and well-educated should set an example for other people.
spk_0
I could say all that.
spk_0
But the fact is, you get in a ticket because you were doing 95 in a 50-mile zone
spk_0
so give me a license and registration.
spk_0
Do tell me what happened. First tell me what you're going to have.
spk_0
And I came as quickly as I could. How about the usual?
spk_0
Is there a jean club special from the sales width and a little reinforcement for me?
spk_0
How do you want this?
spk_0
No, no, just a minor thing compared to what happened to you today.
spk_0
How did the boat, let's get you a minor little thing out of the way for you?
spk_0
No, no, it's not even worth talking about.
spk_0
It's been such a rush to get down here. I got a ticket.
spk_0
It's that old. Let me handle it.
spk_0
No, no, what's for you?
spk_0
I'll get it fixed for you.
spk_0
No, no, I'd rather not.
spk_0
Why?
spk_0
Don't think I feel comfortable about it.
spk_0
I don't think I'll forget it.
spk_0
I can't. I feel responsible. Look, it's nothing.
spk_0
Across your $50 fine.
spk_0
I did break the law.
spk_0
Give me the ticket and donate the 50 to your favorite charity.
spk_0
I've never done a thing like this before.
spk_0
I've always the first time for everything.
spk_0
Can it over?
spk_0
You know what I think I will?
spk_0
And you know why?
spk_0
That cop, the one who gave it to me?
spk_0
I mean, I offered to Bernard J. Talon.
spk_0
You think I was a criminal?
spk_0
You know how some cops can be arrogant and condescending?
spk_0
Here's your club space in the Elzberg.
spk_0
I mean, I tell you, Sue, I could have killed him.
spk_0
And yours was on the rocks?
spk_0
Yeah, you know, I was so angry you know how you get.
spk_0
If I had a gun, I would have shot Officer Bernard J. Talon.
spk_0
So you can't have the Elzberg.
spk_0
So I'd like you.
spk_0
You can have a surgery, Betty.
spk_0
Well, I'll be too sure of that, Sarah Jean.
spk_0
You should hear how he talks about you sometimes in the service as well.
spk_0
You get him on my other lunch?
spk_0
No, no, what if you come back a little while?
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Well, tell me about the Laura-Large.
spk_0
Ha, the Laura-Large.
spk_0
She's gone, Carter.
spk_0
She's gone.
spk_0
I mean, it was over in ten minutes.
spk_0
Burnt right down to the water line and sunk for the hell.
spk_0
I had this guy working on the engines, you know.
spk_0
I must have been smoking swears he wasn't.
spk_0
But why are you gonna do?
spk_0
Unfortunately, I'm fully insured.
spk_0
Yeah, but even so, I know how you felt about that.
spk_0
And how do you even talk about it?
spk_0
Fuck, I need your help.
spk_0
You got it.
spk_0
I have to buy you a boat.
spk_0
Sure, you got it.
spk_0
I mean, nobody can handle it like you can.
spk_0
So I'll need you, too.
spk_0
You got me tomorrow night.
spk_0
Yeah, Millie's on the West Coast visiting her mother.
spk_0
I'm free. You want to go fishing?
spk_0
This is business.
spk_0
Oh, business?
spk_0
You know, actually, this kind of word.
spk_0
Your zenith, too, is better than my Laura-Large.
spk_0
I would have been an inch and a bigger.
spk_0
That's just a little work.
spk_0
You're talking about.
spk_0
Well, what about 25 miles do we use to Dutchmen's coves?
spk_0
The water.
spk_0
We got around a little with my tank.
spk_0
He said it was a full-masted schooner.
spk_0
We'll pick up 5,000 pounds.
spk_0
A little more or a little less.
spk_0
A pot.
spk_0
And we bring it back.
spk_0
What are we gonna pick up pot?
spk_0
Grass.
spk_0
How, mother?
spk_0
What's in a name, too?
spk_0
I don't think this is very fun.
spk_0
For three hours of nice light is work.
spk_0
We each collect 25,000 dollars.
spk_0
It's against the law.
spk_0
And Laura, is it joke?
spk_0
Nobody will bathe you.
spk_0
Not even you when you and I were roommates.
spk_0
Stay.
spk_0
Can we smoke pot?
spk_0
Yeah, well, we were trying our wings.
spk_0
I can't.
spk_0
I always like the old vent telling me about prohibition.
spk_0
We paid me attention.
spk_0
No, no, look. Supposed we dropped the card.
spk_0
Come on.
spk_0
You know, you're not something.
spk_0
You're getting fat.
spk_0
You must have put on 15 pounds at least since college.
spk_0
You know why?
spk_0
Because you don't do anything.
spk_0
It's really exciting.
spk_0
You mean you've already done this kind of thing?
spk_0
One.
spk_0
Last July.
spk_0
Just a minute.
spk_0
It puts a little spice in your life.
spk_0
Little action.
spk_0
I mean, is it enough for you to sit around all day and figure out how to sell housewives or that that's dropped between the lugs?
spk_0
It's to die there here.
spk_0
Well, whatever. It's 25,000 dollars.
spk_0
I don't mean it.
spk_0
Everybody needs 25,000 dollars.
spk_0
Anything in your office later?
spk_0
I want to send Jerry around to see you.
spk_0
Chef, who's Jerry?
spk_0
Jerry, the convinced.
spk_0
Don't wait to time your time in my tater.
spk_0
As it could, it seemed to me.
spk_0
And another thing.
spk_0
Give me back that traffic ticket.
spk_0
You have to get headaches, Carter.
spk_0
I suppose I do.
spk_0
From time?
spk_0
You want to know why?
spk_0
It's because your handle is on too tight.
spk_0
Continuing the media report.
spk_0
Research in our top seven markets demonstrates that 25,000 women between the ages...
spk_0
No, why did I just say that?
spk_0
I don't know.
spk_0
How did you get in here?
spk_0
Getting in, getting out. That's one of the tricks of the trade.
spk_0
Who are you?
spk_0
You know who I am. You've been waiting for me the whole day out the deal.
spk_0
I'm Jerry, one of the semi-maintenance in the outfit.
spk_0
The what?
spk_0
I read the book.
spk_0
spk_0
spk_0
spk_0
spk_0
spk_0
spk_0
The book is a report to the mains.
spk_0
So, it's all set.
spk_0
25 big ones, thanks.
spk_0
No, no, look. I don't want to become involved.
spk_0
What's involved?
spk_0
It's saleable. I'll pick up the glass sealer, back dump it out.
spk_0
Hello and goodbye. I have no desire.
spk_0
I know what you're going to say.
spk_0
They all say it.
spk_0
You have no desire to embark upon the pathway to crime.
spk_0
And the mains, they don't want you to either.
spk_0
What's the main?
spk_0
The mains.
spk_0
They need a nice refined law-abiding citizen element.
spk_0
They want to break himself.
spk_0
Working this end of the deal.
spk_0
One shot operation, maybe once a year, understand?
spk_0
You've got yourself a pretty little annuity working there.
spk_0
Yes, but there are the authorities.
spk_0
Of course.
spk_0
And they've been taken care of.
spk_0
What do you mean, taken care of?
spk_0
The fix, it's in.
spk_0
Well, look, I don't know if you know.
spk_0
You know.
spk_0
And if you're worried about the stipend,
spk_0
it's the policy of the mains to pay an advance.
spk_0
I have a little envelope here with 250 crisp 100 dollar bills.
spk_0
Well, did you come down?
spk_0
No, I didn't say I was going to...
spk_0
I'll just leave it here on your desk.
spk_0
No, please. I don't got to look at the merchandise.
spk_0
Feel it. I would rather not.
spk_0
Nobody's twisting your arm.
spk_0
The mains don't operate in that fashion.
spk_0
Now, if this is truly against your morals,
spk_0
the screwballs say no.
spk_0
And we still part friends, huh?
spk_0
Come on. Pick it up.
spk_0
Put it in your pocket.
spk_0
See you tonight.
spk_0
And we chalk up another for Jerry DeConvincer.
spk_0
I can't believe it's two.
spk_0
I mean, just can't believe it.
spk_0
I can't believe it. My first trip is...
spk_0
You mean this is all there is to it?
spk_0
Or are we getting blinds?
spk_0
Go out. You meet a scooter.
spk_0
They load you up on the home again.
spk_0
Now, they have to stay much further out now.
spk_0
They take a little signature to find things.
spk_0
It's just like driving in the town to pick up the Sunday paper.
spk_0
I mean, I didn't know what to expect.
spk_0
I needed it, I, first time.
spk_0
I'm nearly that scared.
spk_0
Well, what I...
spk_0
Well, let's say I'm not bored.
spk_0
For the first time in a...
spk_0
Still, you know something?
spk_0
This is really why I did it.
spk_0
Okay, okay, the money. Sure.
spk_0
I got some very special plans for it.
spk_0
I'm in charge to explain.
spk_0
I know what you think. I feel...
spk_0
I think it was a word, but...
spk_0
I feel exhilarated.
spk_0
I mean, it's more than that. I'm a younger.
spk_0
I'm a lion, I'm sure.
spk_0
Yeah, so what does it say about the kind of life I've been leading?
spk_0
Are you going to get philosophical on the GameCard?
spk_0
Yes, this is wrong. I mean, we know that.
spk_0
All right, that is not really very wrong.
spk_0
I mean, you want some philosophy, listen to this.
spk_0
There is neither black nor white only varying machines of grace.
spk_0
That's the only thing I remember from my philosophy courses in college.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
It was Jerry. He's below.
spk_0
Fast asleep. Or sleep. This is all tough to him.
spk_0
But nothing's going to happen.
spk_0
I mean, it's a milk run from here to Dutchman's code.
spk_0
Yeah, well, that bothers me.
spk_0
Why should I get in body?
spk_0
My Dutchman's code.
spk_0
Because it's that great little inlet.
spk_0
You come right up against the show.
spk_0
It's less than a quarter mile from the space.
spk_0
I will you relax.
spk_0
Jerry said the mains and everything fixed.
spk_0
I'm not going to go yet.
spk_0
I think I'm going to grab a little smooth with myself.
spk_0
Hi, Carter. You sure this is it?
spk_0
Yeah, this is it.
spk_0
I can't see a thing.
spk_0
Is your truck supposed to be here?
spk_0
This is the place. She's here with the boys.
spk_0
What's the signal?
spk_0
Thank you, sir. I don't know after three times.
spk_0
I go ahead, still.
spk_0
Aim it down as much as you can.
spk_0
Otherwise, you can be seen from the road.
spk_0
Hey, that's a truck.
spk_0
She's going to our light tool.
spk_0
Can you hold her steady, Stu? I'll make her fast.
spk_0
All right, you guys.
spk_0
Let's get her unloaded. Party.
spk_0
You and Pete Hopper on board and start passing it off that Indian Jol.
spk_0
Here's the carter.
spk_0
We'll get you clear and let him 10 minutes.
spk_0
All right, Stu. Cut the engines.
spk_0
Okay, guys. Move it. Move it along.
spk_0
Hey, what's that? What's going on?
spk_0
It's like a car.
spk_0
Okay, it's a car.
spk_0
Probably a couple of gears looking for a sponsor park and make out.
spk_0
I won't bother nobody.
spk_0
It's a cop.
spk_0
Jerry, Jerry, it's a cop.
spk_0
No, it's a cop.
spk_0
How can you say it like that?
spk_0
He's probably throwing up in the fight to see that everything's going okay.
spk_0
What do you say, officer?
spk_0
What's going on here?
spk_0
You know what's going on here.
spk_0
I asked you a question.
spk_0
Look, this is all been taken care of.
spk_0
Yeah?
spk_0
So you just take off, huh?
spk_0
What did you say?
spk_0
I said it for your own good, pal.
spk_0
You're only beginning yourself in a jam.
spk_0
You're all under arrest.
spk_0
All right, pal.
spk_0
Either they forgot to tell you or you're trying to shake me down.
spk_0
Look, let me give you 50 bucks.
spk_0
No call it square.
spk_0
Everybody, put up your hand.
spk_0
All right, take a hundred and beat it.
spk_0
Yeah, hand side where I can stay.
spk_0
I said a hundred and that's the top figure.
spk_0
Say you can call off the end.
spk_0
Nobody moves.
spk_0
Look out, officer.
spk_0
Good thinking, Marty.
spk_0
Please.
spk_0
Police officer, he...
spk_0
He's dead.
spk_0
Suddenly it's no longer fun in game.
spk_0
No longer a lot.
spk_0
No longer kids and thrills and excitement.
spk_0
An exchange of crits, angry gunfire,
spk_0
and without warning,
spk_0
life has become real.
spk_0
And for a courageous and incorruptible police officer,
spk_0
I never mind what the poet said.
spk_0
The grave has just become the goal.
spk_0
I'll be back shortly.
spk_0
We're back to.
spk_0
Those are front-kites.
spk_0
One of a kind.
spk_0
Writing.
spk_0
Writing.
spk_0
Writing.
spk_0
Working with the superb CBS news team together
spk_0
and bring forth the news.
spk_0
A fussed on the sale of the daily
spk_0
constant pressure of being the best.
spk_0
And there's only one place you can find the tanker man.
spk_0
This editor.
spk_0
This team.
spk_0
Very well, officer strong,
spk_0
but the confite and company is only on the CBS evening news.
spk_0
Monday through Friday on the CBS television network.
spk_0
spk_0
Laws said Mr. Johnson's rift are like cobwebs,
spk_0
which may catch a small fly,
spk_0
but let wasps and hornets break through.
spk_0
On this particular theme,
spk_0
the cobweb of law has just been pierced by the bullets of some hornets.
spk_0
What started out as a romp around the honeycomb has now become a bitter and deadly serious business.
spk_0
He's dead.
spk_0
The cop is dead.
spk_0
Hurry up and unload the stuff. We gotta get out of here.
spk_0
You killed him.
spk_0
Not now. Just told him a second family.
spk_0
We killed him.
spk_0
I had nothing to do with it.
spk_0
You're in, not to your ears.
spk_0
I was told by you specifically that there wouldn't be any trouble and any danger.
spk_0
It was his own fault he had no right to poke his nose and other people's business.
spk_0
What are you saying?
spk_0
He was an officer of the law.
spk_0
He was doing his duty.
spk_0
I gave him my way out, but he was a Trump.
spk_0
Now, don't you be a Trump.
spk_0
Don't you try to be a hero?
spk_0
That's murder.
spk_0
All right. Murder. Nobody likes murder. Do I like murder?
spk_0
These things happen, you know what I mean?
spk_0
Hey, Marty, Pete, come on.
spk_0
Get the last few damn tales off the boat and under the truck.
spk_0
Now listen, Pellet.
spk_0
Go home. Forget it.
spk_0
Forget it.
spk_0
What are you gonna do? Is that the last of it, Marty?
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Let's do it.
spk_0
Get your pound here on board.
spk_0
He's a boat and take him home.
spk_0
What's gonna happen to the police officer?
spk_0
How do I know?
spk_0
This was a cop who, for how to get here sooner or later, he's the kind that goes around begging for it.
spk_0
Just your tough luck you had to be there with nature against course.
spk_0
You'll be all right, Connor.
spk_0
No, no, no, no.
spk_0
I don't think I'll ever be all right.
spk_0
What could happen?
spk_0
But it's over. Nothing can be done about it here.
spk_0
Sure, sure.
spk_0
You're sorry I got you in with it.
spk_0
No, I got myself into it.
spk_0
Look, I don't know how to put this on.
spk_0
Maybe I just better say it.
spk_0
Cut it out. Cut it. Cut what out?
spk_0
The way you feel.
spk_0
How can I do that?
spk_0
Well, at least don't show it.
spk_0
You know, like you, I thought this was a game. You know, a lot of lives.
spk_0
I mean, is this Jerry game over like one of those comic hoods from a 30s gangster picture?
spk_0
But he isn't.
spk_0
And they are.
spk_0
They mean business and they play for keeps.
spk_0
You guys shoot to kill.
spk_0
What are you trying to tell me?
spk_0
Jerry thinks that he might be able to control your conscience, you know, maybe going to run to the police.
spk_0
Well, you know, life doesn't say things.
spk_0
He's looking at that cop's face like I keep hearing his voice.
spk_0
And you know, something he's the same one that gave me that ticket.
spk_0
Cut it where you listen to me. There's only one thing you can do now. You simply have to forget it.
spk_0
You want me to come in and spend the night in the office?
spk_0
No, no, no, no.
spk_0
But you are right.
spk_0
I just have to get over it somehow.
spk_0
Lieutenant Peris reporting on talent.
spk_0
Officer Talon was killed by a bullet fired from a 30-hectome of a revolver.
spk_0
Evidently, he had exchanged shots with his assailant.
spk_0
Two shells have been fired from his own gun.
spk_0
Hereby, we're tired of a very heavy truck.
spk_0
You can only assume he has interrupted a smuggling operation, most likely truck.
spk_0
And that is absolutely all we have to go on at that particular moment.
spk_0
Officer Talon, who was 40 years old, needs a wife and three-shot car.
spk_0
When you put the paper away and forget it, forget it.
spk_0
But we agreed that was what we would both have to do.
spk_0
The man had a family. He don't just say okay.
spk_0
You'll get a pension. You'll be taken care of.
spk_0
Sure, sure, sure.
spk_0
She knew the situation.
spk_0
The man chooses to become a cop, a woman chooses to marry.
spk_0
We both know when he needs to work, it could be the last time that a see-shot,
spk_0
and they accept that as part of the life together.
spk_0
Sure.
spk_0
As Jerry said, this was a cop who was bound to get it sooner or later.
spk_0
Carter, but I'm just as guilty as you are.
spk_0
But I mean, what's to be done?
spk_0
I'll incidentally.
spk_0
One of the bullets must have gone through the glass just after the gallery.
spk_0
I noticed it this morning, but I haven't seen it.
spk_0
I never want to see that bolt or any bolt again.
spk_0
Come on, Carter. I'm gonna sell it.
spk_0
Look, after a while you'll get over it.
spk_0
You wanna know the terrible truth?
spk_0
After a while I probably will.
spk_0
Hello.
spk_0
spk_0
Hello, Trudy.
spk_0
May I come in?
spk_0
I want you to get down to the canister.
spk_0
Oh, thank you, Trudy.
spk_0
I wish I had some news for you, but we're still absolutely in the dark.
spk_0
Well, I have some news.
spk_0
Oh, that's a terrible thing I'd say to you.
spk_0
Nice people can be.
spk_0
Yeah, I know.
spk_0
I've been getting letters from every horse,
spk_0
from people who know Bernie from strangers,
spk_0
from money.
spk_0
I want to tell you it over to you, the Kenneth, for the fun.
spk_0
At least it's physically able to go to college.
spk_0
I think those five and ten dollar bills are adding up.
spk_0
I called you because I got something in the mail today.
spk_0
There's mailman delivered a package.
spk_0
You know returning address?
spk_0
I opened it and I found these.
spk_0
What?
spk_0
You know $100 pounds?
spk_0
They add up to $25,000.
spk_0
$25,000 pounds?
spk_0
I can't sell it.
spk_0
I don't know.
spk_0
There wasn't any note.
spk_0
I think $25,000.
spk_0
I couldn't believe he had.
spk_0
What's the donor want to keep his gift of secret?
spk_0
There are other people who like to give his things anonymously.
spk_0
Whoever he is here, they are.
spk_0
Maybe that's good Lord Black.
spk_0
They say it's, uh,
spk_0
it came in a little package.
spk_0
What's in the package?
spk_0
Oh, I got it right here.
spk_0
You mind if I take that?
spk_0
I'd go to write the case.
spk_0
I'll give it back to you.
spk_0
All right.
spk_0
How do you want it?
spk_0
Maybe I can trace it.
spk_0
How?
spk_0
The department has ways.
spk_0
Wouldn't you like to find out who this person is?
spk_0
So you can thank him personally?
spk_0
Is it an impasse?
spk_0
Oh yes, Inspector.
spk_0
Yeah, I have a lead.
spk_0
Oh, man.
spk_0
So far out, I hesitate to ask for the manpower.
spk_0
Mrs. Talon received a gift of $25,000.
spk_0
That's right.
spk_0
Anonymous.
spk_0
I know there are generous people in this world, but 25 grand?
spk_0
No, not harsh money.
spk_0
I would say conscience money.
spk_0
I know it's a very slender read, but it's the only one in the pond.
spk_0
Okay, I'll run it.
spk_0
Hello, family.
spk_0
Oh, it's you.
spk_0
What do you want?
spk_0
How strict.
spk_0
I suppose everything's all right.
spk_0
The wife?
spk_0
She's still awake, visiting a mother on the west coast.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I'd like to be there this time of the year, isn't this?
spk_0
When the swallows come back, the cap is thrown.
spk_0
I don't know.
spk_0
Or maybe it's when they leave.
spk_0
I'm not sure.
spk_0
Look, why do you want to see me?
spk_0
I came here to say congratulations.
spk_0
Oh, for what?
spk_0
You are not going to be knocked off.
spk_0
I don't understand.
spk_0
What does that mean?
spk_0
All the mains came in for a meat.
spk_0
You know what I mean?
spk_0
Of that little country top that we had with a cup.
spk_0
It was gone over in detail.
spk_0
You had done a long thing.
spk_0
What did I do?
spk_0
You yelled to the cup, look out, officer.
spk_0
You tried to warn him.
spk_0
You were on his side, remember?
spk_0
Well, I had some mains that didn't like that at all.
spk_0
But I said, look, we are the prisoners of our own philosophy.
spk_0
I don't like that one, but I said, once it happened,
spk_0
that happened.
spk_0
What's he going to do, run to the DA?
spk_0
No, he's in his deepest, anybody.
spk_0
Did I say the right thing, family?
spk_0
Yeah, yeah.
spk_0
You said the right thing.
spk_0
So that's where we are.
spk_0
Life goes on, right here.
spk_0
Life goes on, and you got the 25 Gs to help move the pathway in 25,000.
spk_0
I looked at the paper this morning, nothing.
spk_0
I listened to the radio, nothing the TV did all.
spk_0
I was just supposed to, suppose someone might have seen or heard.
spk_0
Oh, somebody did.
spk_0
Oh, the cup.
spk_0
And he's dead.
spk_0
I'm sure the police.
spk_0
I mean, is it possible they could find clue-on clues,
spk_0
both don't leave traces in the water?
spk_0
Yeah, but the truck, the police said to were tire marks.
spk_0
Those tires, they already been stripped off.
spk_0
So, how do you feel?
spk_0
I've told you.
spk_0
I feel all right.
spk_0
You ready to order the Sanford?
spk_0
No, sir.
spk_0
Do you know where from, Mr. Nelson?
spk_0
I understand you're taking a shower in your boat.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Ah, too bad.
spk_0
Oh, do you still come around to the club, bring the drinks?
spk_0
Yeah, that's a great idea.
spk_0
The newspaper just came in, you won't look at it?
spk_0
Why would I want to look at it?
spk_0
Thank you, sir, I do.
spk_0
No, thank you.
spk_0
It's just a deep spread on this car.
spk_0
You know, opposite to talent, the one that got murdered?
spk_0
Is that all they can find to print about?
spk_0
We can look somewhere around here, and I think I'm fine.
spk_0
I'm just a officer, talent.
spk_0
All right, Mr. Nelson, sir.
spk_0
People in all walks of life get killed every day.
spk_0
Oh, sure.
spk_0
I mean, how long do we have to read about it?
spk_0
Now, just bring me my drink.
spk_0
You're just a man.
spk_0
You can take it from me.
spk_0
When the future just, just please mind your own business.
spk_0
Yes, Mr. Nelson.
spk_0
Yes, sir.
spk_0
Sir, Gene, I'm sorry.
spk_0
I'm just not feeling well.
spk_0
Good, sir.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Hey, how is everybody?
spk_0
Sorry, I'm late, sir.
spk_0
Gene, bring me your drink.
spk_0
spk_0
Then we'll order.
spk_0
Yes, Mr. Nelson.
spk_0
Who are you yelling at, or for, huh?
spk_0
Nothing.
spk_0
Just that there was a story about you, you know, who in the paper today?
spk_0
Well, you notice every day the stories get smaller.
spk_0
And you find them further back in the paper?
spk_0
Yes, there's a right path to the page, you know.
spk_0
That's why I say.
spk_0
Sort of blew up inside about it.
spk_0
You know, the terrible thing, the anger that I feel is also starting to melt to diminish.
spk_0
You know, a guy like you should never do anything wrong.
spk_0
Yeah, and I won't.
spk_0
Until next time.
spk_0
You know what they say?
spk_0
We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
spk_0
So don't be tied into this thing.
spk_0
No way at all.
spk_0
I don't know about that.
spk_0
These gentlemen may think they're completely in the clear.
spk_0
And I suppose, from their point of view, there's reason for optimism.
spk_0
But the fact is, there are three needs exactly, which can burst the bubble.
spk_0
What are they?
spk_0
Or are you listening?
spk_0
Well, wait for Act 3, and we'll refresh your memory.
spk_0
I can't believe how much things we've read.
spk_0
Yeah, it's really taken off as a major city.
spk_0
A couple of bustle of grows, but part pace we live in?
spk_0
Well, there's something to be said about the old days.
spk_0
You know, eternal essential.
spk_0
Life was less complex, simple than.
spk_0
Money wasn't everything.
spk_0
Quality was important.
spk_0
Oh, come on, Rich.
spk_0
Quality's done for.
spk_0
Green, one company in Phoenix for quality is important.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Allen Piano and organ.
spk_0
Quality's very important.
spk_0
No, it's a tradition.
spk_0
I was talking to John Mayer at Allen Piano.
spk_0
spk_0
John Mayer said the quality of Allen's products and the traditional business sales could buy
spk_0
the territorial business.
spk_0
Yeah, well, I know that say people wouldn't stand for being taken.
spk_0
They just wouldn't buy from anyone.
spk_0
They did.
spk_0
Look, Richard.
spk_0
Group reputation, good products.
spk_0
And fair prices still price today.
spk_0
That's why Allen Piano is still a business.
spk_0
You don't want to be taking today anymore than your grand-pub again.
spk_0
I mean, remember, it's the lowest price.
spk_0
It's not always the best buy.
spk_0
Sometimes it can either work by.
spk_0
You have to trust the people you buy.
spk_0
So I heard that Allen Piano has a beautiful brand name piano for just $897.
spk_0
By the people who have brought you good deals from the territorial days, that's Allen Piano
spk_0
and organ.
spk_0
34.09 was Bethany, 10 West Main, Maysa.
spk_0
G.U.S. is the capacity for taking infinite pains and successful police work depends on the
spk_0
capacity for proceeding apparently insignificant details.
spk_0
That's also the story of life, which can be turned around by the accidental meeting, the
spk_0
over-heard remark.
spk_0
Coincidence happens to circumstances.
spk_0
On these shifting sands, does our fate usually rest?
spk_0
No inspector, that little carton is still our only lead for checking the box manufacturer's.
spk_0
Are you, Rick?
spk_0
Who can it pass?
spk_0
In Yes, Miss.
spk_0
Commit it on.
spk_0
Now, many times inspector, people pick up a box like this in a supermarket or drug store.
spk_0
So how could we ever hope to trace it, but it's all we got?
spk_0
Yeah, I'll keep trying.
spk_0
How, you want to see me?
spk_0
And they said that you were in charge of the officer, talent murder?
spk_0
Yeah, what's your name, please?
spk_0
Sarajeem Hall.
spk_0
Sarajeem Hall.
spk_0
Your address?
spk_0
Nine-a-peam power court.
spk_0
Oh, court.
spk_0
All right, now, Miss.
spk_0
What do you know about the officer, talent, smurter?
spk_0
I'm not sure.
spk_0
I know anything.
spk_0
But you think you do know enough to come here and talk to me, don't you?
spk_0
Oh, now that I think about it...
spk_0
No, not Miss.
spk_0
Howl is perfectly all right.
spk_0
It's natural.
spk_0
First and thing she knows, something, then she's faced the phase of the police detective.
spk_0
She can wonder if it's really legitimate information.
spk_0
I understand that.
spk_0
And just wondering if it was ever legitimate information.
spk_0
Why don't we find out?
spk_0
Well, now that I think about it, I'm sure it's crazy.
spk_0
How many times have I said a thing like that?
spk_0
I said, I'm sure you said it too.
spk_0
Said what?
spk_0
Oh, just said that you feel like you own somebody.
spk_0
And you heard somebody say that he or she wanted to kill Officer Talon.
spk_0
He?
spk_0
Who is this person?
spk_0
Well, if he didn't have to mean anything, you know, I'm sorry, I came.
spk_0
It's just got me silly.
spk_0
You feel that you have to tell us to somebody.
spk_0
But now that I think of it again, I'm sorry.
spk_0
Officer Talon was the finest type of policeman he gave his life.
spk_0
Now, if you have the slightest scrap of information,
spk_0
you owe it to him.
spk_0
Okay.
spk_0
Because I know you'll see how silly it is.
spk_0
I work at the Peach Harbor Yacht Fund in the way.
spk_0
But the day before the officer was killed, I heard one of my customers said,
spk_0
Oh, I don't know.
spk_0
Oh, I know.
spk_0
Oh, I know.
spk_0
This customer, my kid's mad as a boy.
spk_0
What?
spk_0
He was mad at Officer Talon.
spk_0
Because Talon had just given him a paper.
spk_0
What did he say?
spk_0
He said, if I had a gun, I would have shot officers Bernard J. Talon.
spk_0
Do you call him this?
spk_0
To talk to what he said?
spk_0
I don't remember.
spk_0
I was shocked.
spk_0
Could you tell Officer they do these such a nice thing going kind of person?
spk_0
Ellsworth?
spk_0
Mr. Colorado Ellsworth.
spk_0
And Mr. Ellsworth said, he said this just because Officer Talon was dead.
spk_0
So Talon gave him a ticket?
spk_0
I think he was mad, angry, about the way the officer went about it.
spk_0
He said something like, you think it was a criminal?
spk_0
You know how some cops are arrogant, kind of sending?
spk_0
When he makes me a cop, I'll show up again.
spk_0
I know Mr. Ellsworth couldn't show them.
spk_0
Do you think somebody's going to do something and it happens?
spk_0
It's crazy, huh?
spk_0
No, you know, Miss Hall, you did the right thing.
spk_0
Mr. Ellsworth, Mr. Carter Ellsworth?
spk_0
Come in, Miss Hall.
spk_0
Thanks, sir.
spk_0
I don't know if it is anything, but it is just that,
spk_0
we're from the last few years, it's been a car parked on the street.
spk_0
Home, we're good.
spk_0
Just had the fire halved.
spk_0
Oh, yeah, I can see him.
spk_0
He just stayed parked there.
spk_0
Do you see that man in time?
spk_0
Just a few cars.
spk_0
I have a feeling he's watching the house.
spk_0
Why?
spk_0
I don't know.
spk_0
I'm not scared of anything.
spk_0
Did that hit him?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Let me use your phone.
spk_0
Did you get a good look at this, Phenma?
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
I can't film you on this.
spk_0
Why don't you just get to anything bad?
spk_0
I wonder what he's doing.
spk_0
Jim, look in the front.
spk_0
Check the computer.
spk_0
I want a license tag ID.
spk_0
The end space.
spk_0
Why you in 3536?
spk_0
Blue market at sports school.
spk_0
Yeah, you all hold on.
spk_0
I guess I'm still at cops.
spk_0
Why?
spk_0
I just automatically notice everything.
spk_0
Yes, Jim?
spk_0
Who?
spk_0
Mr. Carter Ellsworth.
spk_0
Uh-huh.
spk_0
Thanks.
spk_0
Tuddy.
spk_0
The man Carter Ellsworth.
spk_0
You ever heard of before?
spk_0
Carter Ellsworth, Pink.
spk_0
Sounds like a mountain climber.
spk_0
Somebody who'd ride a book.
spk_0
But it's not familiar.
spk_0
How crazy.
spk_0
Get here familiar.
spk_0
Who's your wife?
spk_0
What connection was?
spk_0
What did I hear?
spk_0
The only way that you could have heard
spk_0
it would have been if Bernie had happened to mention it.
spk_0
That's right.
spk_0
He did.
spk_0
The night before.
spk_0
The last night.
spk_0
We were sitting at dinner.
spk_0
He was telling me about a ticket.
spk_0
He did not command me.
spk_0
Carter Ellsworth.
spk_0
He said that you know the types of things they all know of.
spk_0
I remember the name.
spk_0
Why?
spk_0
Maybe it's smoking.
spk_0
I know we are committed to the theory that Bernie Callan was killed by a drug lover.
spk_0
However, we have here my hypothesis that he was killed by a man named Carter Ellsworth
spk_0
in a fit of rage because of a speeding ticket.
spk_0
After work Ellsworth, giving remorse,
spk_0
Saint Bernie's widow 25,000 dollars,
spk_0
and comes to watch the house regularly.
spk_0
I am proceeding along the following line.
spk_0
Did I special for me, sir?
spk_0
You all have the same meeting room.
spk_0
Thank you, Peter.
spk_0
I don't know.
spk_0
I guess it's me.
spk_0
Would you do a bag of food?
spk_0
I'm sure she'd love it.
spk_0
I don't know.
spk_0
She's been kind of short and sharp with me for the past week or so.
spk_0
I must be losing her touch.
spk_0
How do you feel?
spk_0
Better.
spk_0
Better.
spk_0
I mean, but everybody's no.
spk_0
I know.
spk_0
I know.
spk_0
Millie's home.
spk_0
That's helped a lot.
spk_0
Well, I guess the world goes on to...
spk_0
Can you say to myself, Carter, go to the police.
spk_0
I did too.
spk_0
But never very loud or strong.
spk_0
I don't know how many times I had practically driven to the police station.
spk_0
I suppose I'm a coward.
spk_0
What do you say we never talk about it again?
spk_0
I'm sure.
spk_0
You're still planning on selling the books?
spk_0
That's the point.
spk_0
I couldn't tell Millie the real reason,
spk_0
and she'd only make me buy another.
spk_0
Oh, did you...
spk_0
You were six-sexy last night,
spk_0
I was telling you not, and I'll go around to it.
spk_0
And I just wish I had the guts to do the right thing.
spk_0
You're doing the right thing.
spk_0
Look at this music.
spk_0
You killed him.
spk_0
I'm an accessory, and so are you.
spk_0
But nothing.
spk_0
Absolutely nothing.
spk_0
Can we bring him back to life?
spk_0
You're right.
spk_0
We simply can't talk about it anymore.
spk_0
Yeah.
spk_0
Who?
spk_0
Well, have him come in.
spk_0
I, at least.
spk_0
Hi.
spk_0
What is it this time?
spk_0
Well, is this the way to talk to a guy that saved your life?
spk_0
All right, what do you want?
spk_0
I like your style, the way you handled the boat.
spk_0
What happened when we got there, it wasn't your fault.
spk_0
But the mains will guarantee that the world will happen again.
spk_0
So, Friday night, Friday, are you asking me?
spk_0
Yes.
spk_0
You could say I'm asking.
spk_0
You got a hand, you could also say I'm telling.
spk_0
I don't want any more of this.
spk_0
Why not?
spk_0
Look, a cop was killed.
spk_0
I just want to go through that again.
spk_0
Oh, you're kidding.
spk_0
He loved every minute of it.
spk_0
That's a lie.
spk_0
Is it?
spk_0
I've seen you while all the guns were going off.
spk_0
You had to look in your face.
spk_0
You wanted to be in on that.
spk_0
That isn't true.
spk_0
You wanted to have a gun in your hand too.
spk_0
Pally.
spk_0
You know how often things go wrong.
spk_0
One in a thousand.
spk_0
So, you got 999 more to go.
spk_0
Think of his widow.
spk_0
A kid's lucky to get 25 grand a throw.
spk_0
You can sneak her a few bucks.
spk_0
It's not the way to do it.
spk_0
Now, Friday night, it's shooting fish in a barrel.
spk_0
A guy knows the waters like you.
spk_0
I can get you a couple bucks more.
spk_0
God, it isn't for money.
spk_0
It's always the money.
spk_0
And that's so much in this racket.
spk_0
Plenty for everybody, what do you say?
spk_0
Here.
spk_0
Maybe put the symbol open your door.
spk_0
Now, let's don't.
spk_0
Come on, Pally.
spk_0
Pick it up.
spk_0
Put it in your pocket.
spk_0
See.
spk_0
Talk up another one for Jerry, the condenser.
spk_0
Hello, ma'am.
spk_0
Where's the...
spk_0
Who are you?
spk_0
Where are you supposed to pick up your friends?
spk_0
What are you doing on this boat?
spk_0
What do you think?
spk_0
We're waiting for you.
spk_0
We?
spk_0
Do you have three police detectors down below?
spk_0
Police?
spk_0
I'm Lieutenant Parrot.
spk_0
But what do you want with me?
spk_0
I'm taking a chance on blowing the whole case.
spk_0
I don't want to give you a break.
spk_0
I still don't know what you're saying.
spk_0
We could have had the Coast Guard follow you
spk_0
and grab you and your friends in the act.
spk_0
And then you get the whole book thrown at you.
spk_0
But since I know you didn't kill officer Talon
spk_0
since you're more weak and confused than anything else,
spk_0
I'll go easy on you.
spk_0
You have no right now.
spk_0
You've got yourself involved in this smuggling deal.
spk_0
A quick, easy book.
spk_0
25,000, to be exact.
spk_0
But how did I know?
spk_0
Actually, you were being paid sweatshop wages
spk_0
for going right for what you're doing
spk_0
is at least twice that.
spk_0
Then you sent the money to Mrs. Talon.
spk_0
Nobody knows that.
spk_0
It was your conscience.
spk_0
But you made a mistake.
spk_0
You work for this beauty products outfit,
spk_0
hair dye, cosmetics.
spk_0
You used a little box from the company stock room
spk_0
to send the money to Mrs. Talon.
spk_0
Anybody could get hold of such a busho or...
spk_0
But we're building it up.
spk_0
Now you were seen hanging around Mrs. Talon's house.
spk_0
Why?
spk_0
I'd go for rides sometimes.
spk_0
And I just park any place.
spk_0
It was your conscience.
spk_0
Still building.
spk_0
You used this boat that night Talon was killed.
spk_0
He surprised you with the act.
spk_0
There was a gunfight.
spk_0
One of the bullets broke this window or a portal, whatever it is.
spk_0
No, no, it was an accident here on the dock.
spk_0
And the bullet went right into this
spk_0
a post at part of the wall, or is it a bulkhead?
spk_0
It was pretty well preserved.
spk_0
And ballistic has determined that it was fired by officer Talon's gun.
spk_0
Well, look, Lieutenant, look, it's all circumstantial.
spk_0
I don't know how a jury would look at it.
spk_0
I have the right to talk to a lawyer, sure.
spk_0
But you're not under arrest yet.
spk_0
Look, Mr. Ellsworth, you wanted to get caught.
spk_0
That's why you gave Mrs. Talon the money.
spk_0
Here's the box from your own company.
spk_0
Never fixed the glass.
spk_0
Never looked for the bullet hole.
spk_0
I don't know what I want, sure you do.
spk_0
You want some peace of mind.
spk_0
You want that more than anything else in the world.
spk_0
Let me help you.
spk_0
Help me. You're the kind of guy who can't help himself.
spk_0
It's not your fault.
spk_0
You just don't fit in.
spk_0
You want excitement.
spk_0
But you don't know how to do it legitimately.
spk_0
You're even going out again tonight.
spk_0
You're getting in deeper and deeper.
spk_0
Is that what you want?
spk_0
No, no.
spk_0
Then this is your chance.
spk_0
Your only chance to work with us.
spk_0
Who gets you out?
spk_0
All the way out.
spk_0
No, what are you saying?
spk_0
Well, I took you so long to find me.
spk_0
People are not strictly speaking heroes.
spk_0
Unlike war prisoners, they are not moist and tenon in granite.
spk_0
And they do not know the amplitudes of time.
spk_0
Most of us are like banners that are made of gossamer.
spk_0
We last for the day and face whichever way the wind blows us.
spk_0
I'll be back shortly.
spk_0
The name of our story is Jerry the Convincer.
spk_0
And why?
spk_0
Most of us can be had.
spk_0
Most of us are vulnerable to seduction, to fear, to greed.
spk_0
Most of us have to be won over.
spk_0
Carter Ellsworth needed a Jerry to convince him.
spk_0
Who or what is required to convince you?
spk_0
Our cast included Paul Hecht Mendelkramer, Ray Owens and Edie Juster.
spk_0
The entire production was under the direction of Heimenbaum.
spk_0
This is Edie Marshall inviting you to return to our mystery theater
spk_0
for another adventure in the macabre.
spk_0
Until next time,
spk_0
we will be back with a vote of approval by the Senate.
spk_0
He ruled on a suit filed by 24 members of Congress,
spk_0
one of them Republican Senator Barry Goldwater at Arizona.
spk_0
And the way that it's occurred through is that the first time
spk_0
in this nation's 200 years of constitutional history
spk_0
that our federal judges ruled directly on the power of
spk_0
pretty termination and it means that no American,
spk_0
not even the president, can break the law of the land.
spk_0
The State Department says the ruling should not have any immediate
spk_0
effect on US relations with P. King.
spk_0
So far, there's no official reaction from China or Taiwan,
spk_0
but sources within the Taiwan government expressed
spk_0
pleasure with the ruling.
spk_0
More news after this.
spk_0
If you work or want to work in any of the places I'm about to mention,
spk_0
I have news for you about exciting career opportunities.
