Yours Truly Johnny Dollar The Pearling Matter, Parts one and two from Hollywood.
1:19
It's time now for Johnny Dollar. This is Mortan Scottland, mister Dollar at
1:26
the Eastern Liability and Trust. Oh yes, I got your message. I
1:30
was just about to call you back, mister Scottland. Would it be possible
1:33
for you to drop in's day? I think so, say in an hour,
1:36
that would be excellent. What's it about, mister Scotland? David Perling?
1:40
I understand he was killed in a boating accident a couple of days ago.
1:42
Read something about it in the papers. For a phrase, mister Dollar,
1:46
that report was somewhat exaggerated. Mister Pearling is still very much alive tonight
1:59
and every weekday. Bob Bailey, in the transcribed Adventures of the Man with
2:02
the Action Packed Expenser, count America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator Yours true Johnny Dollar
2:22
expense account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the Eastern Liability and Trust Company,
2:27
Hertford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting of expended yours during my
2:30
investigation of the Pearling matter. Mister Scottman, you're a pretty good guy,
2:37
and I'll say this right at the top, since you were the one who
2:38
called me in. You're reading about the Pearling matter in your newspaper right now,
2:43
but they haven't got the story rights. None of them will ever have
2:46
it quite right. Just remember that as you go through your newspaper and this
2:50
report. Mister Scottman, you look pretty worried when I met you that afternoon
2:53
about five o'clock, and you led me into the top drawer offices of Eastern
2:57
Liability and Trusts. I tagged you as a take it a sort of man
3:00
who knew when his laundry was coming back. I wasn't a bit surprised to
3:04
learn that you were vice president and chairman of the board. Why don't you
3:07
sit down there, Dollar, the best chaired place. Thanks God, Cigarette,
3:13
No, I have these thanks lighter right there too. Rights. You
3:19
can run along for tonight, Evlyent, no more to do, Thank you,
3:23
good night, Evlyent. I understand you've handled several matters for our company,
3:29
Na, mister Dollar, Yes, sir, I was just going over
3:30
in my mind. I believe the last one was the san Antonio case.
3:36
Yes, Mark san Antonio. Yes, yes, you have that very well,
3:39
Miss Dollar. I want you to know I appreciate your reputation in the
3:43
field. Nice of you to mention it. I'm curious, mister Scotland.
3:46
I rarely work directly with an insurance company. Usually I'm hired by the adjusting
3:51
agency. And let's say, this is little idea on my own, only
3:54
one person notes about it. So far. You will be the second board
3:58
of directors. Might not exactly prove what I'm about to propose, but I
4:01
feel some action should be taken. I have some good whiskey in that cabinet.
4:06
No thanks, now, yes, well, this case involves David Perling,
4:11
who, despite what the newspapers reported yesterday, is still very much alive.
4:15
You say you saw the item in the papers, Yes, something about
4:18
him being killed in a bolting accident in Florida. I think the story was
4:23
erroneous to be retracted. Fact of the matter is, mister Perling was already
4:28
on his way back to New York save fan Sound when that report came out.
4:31
The boat that he'd been fishing from did have a boiler explosion, but
4:34
no one was killed. Yeah, these things sometimes happened, I guess.
4:40
However, was printed all over the country. You know, David Perling is
4:44
highly regarded in financial circles, and that is the reason I asked you to
4:46
come in and talk to me. Did you see the stock exchange figures yesterday?
4:51
Well, I don't pay too much attention to the I do if we
4:56
do. As an insurance company, that report of Pearling's day he affected several
5:00
commodities listed on the New York Exchange, companies in which he holds varying positions,
5:05
positions that would if say, the report of his death were engineered for
5:10
that specific purpose allow certain people to risk very little money and make a great
5:14
deal of money in just a minutes or certain people. Are you talking about
5:16
purling and I don't know who I'm talking about, really, I'd like you
5:21
to find that out. Find out, among other things, if the situation
5:26
has been taken advantage of in any way. This isn't exactly in my line,
5:29
mister Scotman, and I think it is, mister Dollar, I'll come
5:32
right out with it. Eastern Liability has considerable investment in some of the commodities
5:36
that could be affected. We or let's put it this way. I want
5:42
to know where we stand. I want to know if we've been cheated or
5:45
are about to be cheated. I had dinner with more than Discotman at his
5:53
club. He acquainted me with the several companies involved in the matter and supplied
5:56
me with stock exchange information that would be valuable and making them garrisons in case
6:00
the action he anticipated ever happened. An hour later, I was at the
6:05
airport expencer count item one one hundred and twenty three dollars and sixty nine cents
6:10
hair fair and incidentals from Hartford to key West, Florida. I arrived at
6:14
four o'clock in the morning, found a hotel, and had six hours sleep.
6:16
At eleven thirty I was standing in the office of a bluff red faced
6:19
man named Peyton. He happened to be the managing editor of a newspaper all
6:26
the way from Hartford, Connecticut. An. Welcome to Key West. What
6:30
can I do for you? Tell me about this story? A Turlin story.
6:34
Huh yeah, you lawyer. No, you're here to make trouble.
6:40
Just find out something about how that story got into print. That's all we're
6:43
retracting today. What do you want us to do? Wear sackcloth and issues.
6:47
I'm not here to file a suit. I just want some information about
6:50
the story. You can sit down if you want to. Thanks, find
6:58
Gracie Edward, will you right? H But I'd like the newspaper story except
7:03
for the mistake. That was a pretty good science mistake. Mister Peton Berlin
7:09
was here for a week to ten days, had an I dig, He
7:13
catched him tarp and a sailfish. He charted a boat called a yet Watcher
7:17
day before yesterday, just heading in for the landing. Somehow the fuel ignited
7:21
and she blew up. Everybody thought Peerlin was still aboard. Who was abort?
7:27
It's the skipper. He came out of it all right. Harbor patrol
7:30
boat picked him up going. Everybody thought Perlin had been aboard as usual,
7:34
was lost. Skipper wasn't in any shaped Tell it differently, then, After
7:39
all, Perland had been going out on her every day. We all knew
7:42
that where once Perlin? He's sleeping in his room when all this happened,
7:46
got up about three o'clock, checked out, took the train back in New
7:48
York. Story come out in the evening edition. Your reporter, the one
7:53
who wrote it up. I'd like to see him. It's her. Well,
7:56
how did she get the story? It was right there, right where
8:00
down at the Saleface landing. When they watch you come in at a regular
8:03
beat on the size, we don't have beats. But your reporter was there
8:07
when the boat caught fire. Yeah. What's her name? Gracy? Edit?
8:13
How long has she been a reporter? A couple of years? Did
8:16
you ever take a month? I hope you didn't come down here to run
8:18
her over the cool though. She's had enough of a dollar for me.
8:22
It's my job, not you. Okay, okay? Where do you eat
8:24
lunch around here Loof and Barn Grill about a half block down this side of
8:28
the street. Dip beef from apple Pie if you like that kind of thing.
8:33
Oh, hi, Gracie, this is Johnny Dollar. Gracy Edwards.
8:37
Well, mister, mister dollars, come all the way from Hartford to ask
8:41
you some questions about the Pearling story. Gracie, you want to talk to
8:46
him? Do I have to up to you? Ronnie? Who are you?
8:50
What do you want to know? I'm an insurance investigator. I want
8:52
to know how the story got into print without being verified. Oh that's a
8:56
straight enough answer. Who do you investigate? Your and sh Eastern Liability and
9:01
Trust company at the moment? Yeah, he got business cards and everything.
9:05
Yeah, he looks like he might do that kind of work out. If
9:07
you're going to talk to him, find someplace else. I've got work to
9:09
do. How about some lunch, miss Edwards? How about that? Oh?
9:13
Get out expense account item too? Two dollars two lunches for Gracie Edwards
9:22
and myself at the Bluefin Bar and Grille. She was a short, stocky
9:26
woman in the early thirties. She had a fresh looking face and fiery red
9:28
hair. She didn't strike me as the kind of reporter who would make a
9:33
bad mistake. I did it the way any cup would have only worse.
9:37
I had a three o'clock deadline. I wanted to make it. I could
9:39
have waited till the skipper came to said Pearling wasn't a board. I could
9:43
have contacted Pearling's hotel found out he was safely there. I didn't do any
9:46
of that. I just woned in my story. You know the rest.
9:48
Every wire service in the country picked it up. Yes, I was lucky.
9:52
I wasn't fired. You want another glass of beer. No, you've
10:01
been pretty nice. I'm sure you're not all insurance investigator. Notice I haven't
10:05
asked you exactly what you're investigating. Yeah, I noticed that. You're gonna
10:11
tell me, possibly right now. Something worries me. You were down at
10:16
the landing when the boat caught fire. Yeah, you go down there off.
10:18
It's more or less my beat. Oh what, I didn't think a
10:24
reporter to have a beat in a town this us, I said, more
10:26
or less. I like to go down there in mid afternoon when the boats
10:30
are coming back. The water's blue and fresh, usually a good offshore breeze.
10:35
Blowing. Have they caught any big fish? The flags are up,
10:39
it's a place to go. I'm romantic. Good. Suppose we go there
10:45
two thirty Now I ought to see some of those boats come out. Expense
10:54
account item three one buck one cab transporting myself and Gracey Edwards, Reporter to
10:58
sail for planning, or as near as we could get. The last five
11:01
hundred yards we had to walk on the planking between the slips. Now,
11:09
tell me where was the outwatcher? Once? She blew up over there?
11:13
Not there? Where were you right here? I was sitting right there looking
11:18
out to see how long had you been here? Oh? An hour or
11:22
so? That was day before yesterday? She blew up there. You phoned
11:26
in your story before three o'clock, right before three. Where's the outwatcher?
11:31
Now? They raised it this morning? Told her over the repair docks.
11:33
That's around the point. That's kind of funny. What's funny? Well,
11:39
I guess I didn't hear it right you? You saw her get in trouble.
11:43
You were right here. Then you went and phoned in your store.
11:46
It's right? Where'd you phone it in? What the last phone I saw
11:50
was at the tavern before we came in the ducks high heels running over these
11:54
slips take quite a while to get to it. I used a phone in
11:58
town. How'd you get there, cab? You had one waiting? Look
12:03
suppose I did. Suppose you didn't, miss Edwards. Suppose you weren't even
12:05
here. If you were, where's the sunburn? Every redhead on Earth burns
12:09
up in an hour when the sun's like this, unless you're an exception.
12:13
I don't think I like this. I don't like it much myself. But
12:16
I have to find out something I'd like to find out for you. I
12:18
hope I can. If I can't, I'll have to find out from someone
12:22
else, maybe the man who owned the boat, the man who ran It's
12:24
someone around here. I'm going wait a minute, I'm not just throwing words
12:28
around. The boat was probably insured, and it'll probably have a claim on
12:31
it, and I'll probably know the adjuster who was sent to work the claim.
12:35
I'll talk to him and tell him what I'm thinking. I'll find out
12:37
about this one way or another. Miss Edwards, but I think you can
12:39
help me. You're a good reporter. You would have waited to see if
12:43
Perling was a board. You would have checked his hotel. You would have,
12:46
in spite of a three o'clock deadline, you would have made sure he
12:48
was or wasn't a board that boat. All right, miss Edwards. Did
12:54
somebody pay you to file that story? I just want to know that somebody
13:01
paid me. Yes, okay, I'll take you back now. We don't
13:07
have to mention this again in case it comes up though. Yeah, mister
13:13
Pearling paid me, paid me to print the story he was dead. Johnny
13:35
Dollar ready with your call to Hatford. Hello, Hello, mister Scottman.
13:41
Johnny Dollar. Hope I didn't get you up. No, no, no,
13:45
I've been very anxious to hear from you. Well, I thought i'd
13:46
better call mister Scottman. I just found out that David Peerling paid a reporter
13:50
here in Key West to print that story about his death. See. I
13:54
can be in New York at seven tomorrow morning. Could you meet me there?
13:58
Sometime? I can meet you at Idle while my plane comes in at
14:01
seven twenty. From Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the Eastern Liability and Trust Company,
14:13
Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting of expended yours during my
14:18
investigation of the Pearling matter. Expense account continued Item three ninety eight dollars and
14:28
nine cents airfare and incidentals, including board in Rome, Key West to New
14:31
York City. Mort Scottman was in the airport coffee shop, having tea and
14:35
toast in the best tradition of a vice president. He looked shaved, rested,
14:39
and fresh. Would you like some breakfast, mister Dollar, Just coffee
14:43
for now? Thanks, a cup of coffee please. Well we seem to
14:48
have made nice connections. Not to seven thirty yet, yeah, mister Scottman.
14:52
The reporter in Key West who printed that story about David Perling was paid
14:56
one hundred dollars in cash to do it. Pearling paid her to file and
15:00
erroneous story that he had been killed in a boating accident. You said,
15:03
cash, that's right, cash, no check, No way to prove it
15:05
one way or another, just the reporter's word, and she said she denied
15:09
it. If anybody else asked her, disclaim the whole thing. Yeah,
15:13
where does that put us? Well, look, Pearling had to pay somebody
15:16
to fire that boat, probably the skipper, I don't know, but it's
15:18
an angle. If you're thinking about legal lines, it's very good. Of
15:22
course the boat would demand explanation. Oh, let's let it go for the
15:26
moment. I noticed a retraction disclaiming the story of Pearling's death is in every
15:28
paper this morning. It was in all of last night's papers too. Now,
15:33
if the story could affect the stock market, when would it show up
15:35
today at the latest. There was no action yesterday, not on the exchange.
15:39
No, how do you feel about this whole thing now? In view
15:43
of the fact you've ascertained that Perling himself arranged for his own death report to
15:46
be published, I can only assume that he did it for one reason,
15:50
take advantage of some brisk trading it would occur because of such a report.
15:54
But there's been nothing of that so far. Tell me, mister Scottman,
15:58
in the event this does happened, what would you do? I don't know
16:02
exactly. Possibly report the meta to the exchange and see if Peerlin could be
16:06
prosecuted for manipulation. Well, let's go over there and see what's what.
16:12
I had him four or five dollars camp fair for myself and Morton Scottman to
16:15
Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange. Since I didn't understand too much
16:19
about the board, I simply sat and kept an eye on Scotman. The
16:22
pinstripe suit, the hamburg, the tie, the shirt, the glasses.
16:26
Somehow he tickled me. I was beginning to like the guy. About fifteen
16:30
minutes before the place closed, he cleared his throat and touched my arm.
16:33
Eh. I suspicioned, wronged dollar. There's been no manipulation on the exchange.
16:40
I thought certainly if there had been any, it would appear in that
16:41
Alabama company. I was wrong, and I apologize for taking up your time.
16:48
You're paying for it. Besides, I'm glad you didn't m M.
16:51
Shall we go, eh, Claire? Well, we know he didn't have
16:55
the story printed, a cheat on the market, but we still have the
16:56
same old question. What's that? Why did Perling paid that reporter to say
17:00
he was dead? The reporter lied to you. You've been lied to the
17:04
poor, I'm sure, oh sure, and by experts. But she wasn't
17:07
a good one, not even halfway good. So I still believe her story.
17:11
You believe that board up there, I believe that too. Well.
17:15
Then Perling had a reason for getting such a story printed. I want to
17:18
find out about it. Expenser count had him five four dollars lunch for Morton,
17:29
Scotman and myself. After lunch, I checked into the new Western Adam
17:33
six fifty dollars deposit car rental. A phone call to the offices of David
17:37
Perling gave me the information that mister Pearling was at his home on Long Island.
17:40
I drove out there, a small estate greened up with all the lush
17:44
things that happened there this time of the year. As I reached the place,
17:47
I noticed a group of people in white flannels and dark blue jackets mixing
17:49
cocktails on the terrace. One of them I recognized from previous newspaper pictures as
17:53
David Purling. A middle aged woman with iron gray hair and the figure of
17:57
a sixteen year old girl opened the door. She looked from behind dark glasses
18:02
disapprovingly. Yes, how do you do I'd like to see mister Pearling if
18:06
I may, I'm missus Pearling. May I help you? Well, this
18:08
is a business matter, Missus Perling. My name's Dollar Eastern Liability and Trust
18:11
Company. Well, he's not in now. I suggest you call his office
18:15
and explain the nature of your business to his secretary. Good day, mister
18:18
Dollar. Look, I know he's here. I saw him as I drove
18:21
up. You are both impertinent and rude. I'm sure you'll see me if
18:25
you give him my name and tell him I just came back from Key West
18:27
and that I had a long talk with a newspaper reported down there. Since
18:32
you saw so much as you drove up, you might have noticed that we're
18:33
entertaining guests, mister dollar. Oh, I noticed that. Wait here.
18:41
I stood there a moment on the wide colonial porch and wondered what made me
18:45
such a social outcast. A man who was tending in the grounds walk by
18:48
and turned on the sprinkling system. He waved at me, and I waved
18:52
back. I felt better on the terrace, I could hear the tinkle of
18:56
glasses and a little laughter on Then finally David Pearling showed up. He was
19:00
a tall man with a hairline that started about an inch above the heaviest eyebrows
19:04
i've ever seen. Two tone shoes, white flannels, and the Mexican sports
19:07
shirt fitted in with the broad shoulders, and a wide mouthed grin that came
19:11
off just briefly when he looked at me. My wife told me to throw
19:15
you out. Can you think of any reason why I shouldn't. I'm about
19:18
ten pounds lighter than you, but I might be a good fifteen years younger.
19:21
Tell me what you want, kiddo, and then get out of here.
19:22
I want you to tell me why you paid Gracie Edwards one hundred dollars
19:26
to print a story about you being dead? Who are you anyway? Johnny
19:30
Dollar Insurance investigating? What's all this to you? An investigation? There's no
19:33
way you can prove I paid that girl to print that story. I know
19:37
that I was telling a friend of mine today that something probably could be proved
19:41
about the boat if it had to be, then the reporter thing had come
19:44
out. I don't know you see, Eastern Liability had an idea that you
19:48
might have had that story printed to cause a little action on the stock market.
19:52
Who at Eastern Liability? I'll keep that to myself. Well, doesn't
19:56
make any difference anyhow. They're way off base, or can't you. I
20:00
figure that part. That's why i'm here. I figured that part. Suppose
20:03
I told you I don't know what you're talking about, I'd ask you all
20:04
over again. Tell you about a reporter in a boat, tell her you've
20:08
gone this far and it's probably as far as you're going. I'm not going
20:11
to tell you anything, at least anything specific. I will tell you this
20:15
much. I paid the reporter in cash. I paid the boatman the same
20:18
way. Whatever reason I had, it was a good one, meant to
20:22
harm no one. You're sure about that, mister Pearling, As sure as
20:26
I'm going inside right now and mix another batch of martini for the second time
20:33
in a matter of minutes. I was standing in a porch feeling like typhoid
20:37
Mary. Somehow, I halfway believe David Perling. I also halfway believe that
20:41
whatever reason he had meant something to me. All halfway. Thank you.
20:47
If you want to be left alone, you don't slam a door once or
20:49
even twice. You invite the asker of the question in, give him a
20:52
drink, introduce him to your friend, slap him on the back, and
20:55
lie through your teeth. You don't tell a man to leave, because that's
20:57
the best way in the world to make him key coming. So I waved
21:00
at the friendly gardener once more, climbed into my rendit car, drove back
21:04
to the New Western and sat down with a magazine Johnny Dollar. Miss is
21:11
Celia Pearling, mister Dollar, Hello, Missus Perling. I think I should
21:15
like to talk to you, mister Dollar. David told me why you were
21:18
at the house. I'm downstairs in the lobby. I'll be right down,
21:23
Missus Peerling. I had to drive some friends in tonight and I thought i'd
21:30
stop and have this chat with you. I'm glad you did somewhat embarrassing.
21:34
I mean, after the way I acted at the house. Oh, I'll
21:37
suppose we forget that part, Missus Perling. Does mister Peerling know that you're
21:41
here? No, I'll tell him when I get home. There's something I
21:45
must know. What's that? You aren't just a sensation seeker something like that,
21:49
are you, Missus Pearling. Let me answer you this way. You
21:53
came to me. How you found me, I don't know, but you
21:57
did. You also found out I'm a legitimate investigator interested in facts. Am
22:02
I right? David called a friend of his or the Allied Bureau, and
22:04
they told him you were an insurance investigator. And they also told you that
22:08
when I work at Case in New York, I generally stay at the New
22:11
Western. Is that about it? I'd like to ask you a question.
22:15
Are you going to continue with this matter, the one you discussed with my
22:18
husband this afternoon. I suppose I am you mean you believe there was something
22:22
ulterior and David having that story, Prinda, Well, let's say I believe
22:26
his answers about it were unsatisfactory. I'm the fellow who's supposed to find out
22:30
why why, that's my job. I can assure you there wasn't anything wrong
22:34
about it at all. It was a rather personal matter and certainly could harm
22:37
no one. I'm glad to hear that. I heard it once before,
22:41
though your husband said it to me today and practically the same words. Would
22:47
you like to buy me a drink? Sure? Come on. We walked
22:51
through the lobby to the cocktail Louns without a word. We sat down without
22:55
a word, and I ordered a couple of bourbons in water. Still no
22:57
word around this. People boy drinks, laughed and talked. I glanced at
23:03
missus Perling from time to time and wore the blankest expression I knew how finally
23:07
it worked. She began, in a small voice, we have a daughter,
23:11
mister Dollar. Her name's Eugenia Genie. We call her mmmmm. She's
23:18
the reason for that story in the papers. Tell me about it. It's
23:22
not easy, you know it's I mean, it's it's admitting a prominent defeat
23:26
to explain it. We're David and myself considered quite capable people, capable at
23:33
most everything business, home, capable of everything he set raising a child into
23:40
a woman. I'd rather not go into the forts that we have, mister
23:42
Dollar. I don't need you. I didn't mean that. I just mean
23:45
it seems painful you to even discuss this. I'll see it this way.
23:49
We've had too much money and too little time to put it on on Genie.
23:56
Now we're suffering for it. How do you mean Genie got sick and
24:00
tired of being alone and unattended and not understood. She left home a year
24:03
ago and we haven't seen her or heard from us since. She left a
24:07
note saying that we never would I suppose we deserve it. Well, I
24:12
wouldn't try to. Just that, we have no idea where she is,
24:15
what she's doing, even if she's with someone. We just know she's gone.
24:21
It's really quite ridiculous. Now that Genie's gone, we know how much
24:26
we wanted her around. What about the police, Well, we we didn't
24:30
go to the police. I think you can understand why, I mean,
24:33
the publicity. Who did you go to? The am Weell agency. They've
24:37
been working on them. Any luck, not a sign of her. Do
24:41
you understand now? Well, I don't understand everything. I'm sorry she's missing.
24:45
But about the story in the paper, well, Davy arranged that,
24:48
I mean, that his death would be reported. It was a crazy thing
24:52
to do, I suppose, but we've tried everything else. He thought that
24:56
if he were reported dead, wherever she was would see the story and possibly
25:03
contact me. You see, it's unbearable knowing she's alive somewhere hating us this
25:10
way. We wanted another chance. No luck, no luck, not a
25:18
word, not a word. Now here's our star to tell you about tomorrow's
25:37
intriguing episode of this week's story. Tomorrow the tramp is all baited, and
25:42
guess who walks in? John Us? Won't you Yours Truly? Johnny Dollar?
25:51
Yours Truly Johnny Dollar is starring Bob Bailey, is transcribed in Hollywood.
25:55
Written by John Dawson. It is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone. Be
25:59
sure did you hin us? Tomorrow night, same time in station for another
26:02
exciting episode of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, Roy Rowan speaking welcome back,
27:42
Well, this story is definitely already taken some turns. I recognize this story,
27:51
uh, and it's going to adapt a story we've done a long time
27:55
back on another series. I will see if any of our other listeners recall
28:00
it. But we turned that listener comments and feedback and a lot of folks
28:04
sounding off on some of these Johnny Dollar serials that they've enjoyed. Peter sounded
28:11
off on the Indestructible mic matter, this was a good story, one of
28:18
my favorites. Man that guy likes his drink. And then we have this
28:26
one from regarding episode eleven nineteen The Matters of Reasonable Doubt from Jason who says
28:34
the episode is a favorite of mine. And then also in regards to episode
28:44
to the Nick Suir matter, David Gallaher said, great episode, Thanks Adam,
28:48
having holidays and Merry Christmas, thanks so much. Also, I mentioned
28:55
that I've written the Johnny Dollar section of All I Needed to Know I Learned
29:00
from Dragnet, the next the sequel to All I Needed to Know I Learned
29:04
at Colombo, and David suggest also suggested a life lesson for Johnny Doller.
29:11
First lesson always keep account of your spending. Well, I'm not a little
29:15
deeper than that, but that's a good one too. It's interesting to work
29:19
on this concept, but I don't know if we'll have a third one,
29:22
but I expect the dragnet section will be fairly lengthy, and I still have
29:27
a ways to go. I finished writing Poirot, Frank Race, and Johnny
29:33
Doller. Next up our Joe Friday, reading Malloy and Frank Cannon. All
29:40
right, well that will do it for today. Join us tomorrow as we
29:42
