  Speaker 2: I hadn't come. Jonsey was gone, with no other word
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: than that she wasn't coming back. I spent what was
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: left in the night looking for checking from one place
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: to another, but it was not good. The next morning
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: early when I tried once more at a studio apartment,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: I found out.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Was that she never returned.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: I decided there was one place left to look. A
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: street corner and Laguna, wherever a month ago is. Something
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: had happened that wouldn't lie too. I got in my
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: car and hit it out, and all the way down
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: for one specific surf looked cool and hustle, and the
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: dreary desolation that hits all beach resorts out of season
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: settled on Laguna like a sick hangover. I finally found
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: the intersection of certain notes, with two sleepy drug stores,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: a dying bar, and a pottery stand closed for the winter.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Nothing else. The only sign of life was a black
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: spooted old man on a bench, whipling listlessly at a
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: piece of nerve grade risk what it matches his hands
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: with perfection. He looked as though he'd been there for
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: twenty years. So I decided to give him a try.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: But that's just say, you know, fellow, I said, things
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: are pretty dull around here, hip, Pop.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Generally, somewhere something happening.
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: People come, people go, like you, You all got things
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: on their minds.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: They know they come and go more often. Pop. He'll
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: take the dead corner.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: Well, I don't know about that now.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Seems like this corner gets.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: A good share of light.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Oh, I bet you nothing's happened in this corner in
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: the last six months. Worth talking about.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Wrong a sudden it's run the gamma.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: For instance, last.
• 17:01
  Speaker 11: August a baby was born over in front of the
• 17:04
  Speaker 11: drug store there.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: In a taxi.

  Speaker 2: Who were eight palm boys. And on the other end
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: of life, yes, met two fella named Peters.
• 17:20
  Speaker 11: He was a kind of belated war casualty. You might say,
• 17:24
  Speaker 11: what do you mean, Well, he went through the First
• 17:26
  Speaker 11: World War without a scratch, and then he got himself
• 17:29
  Speaker 11: killed by a hit and run driver right over there
• 17:32
  Speaker 11: in front of the tavern.

  Speaker 3: And it happened just a month ago.

  Speaker 2: burned out on a street corner at two o'clock in
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: the morning a month ago. But we're still got a
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: check because I can only talk to Jonesy all the
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: way back to LA. I worry because so that I
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: had to find her first. I was halfway down the
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: hall of my apartment when I heard it my phone.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: I ran to the door in tactically ripped it off
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: a hsion before I stopped ringing Hello, Hello, Daring Jonesy, Jonesy,
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: where are you? That doesn't matter. I just called it
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: a goodbye doller. I couldn't leave it now. Look, you're
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: not going anyplace. You're going to sit tight right way
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: out and I get there. I'm in a bad jam.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: I should have told you what about it long ago. Well,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: it's it's not too late, baby. I just got back
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: from wagoona, Honey, I know all about it. Look look,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: you're in love with a good private eye. You remember it,
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: So run, baby. That's not the answer. There isn't any answers.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: It never was for us.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Jonesy, Please, will you shut up and listen to me
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: for a minute, can't.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: I thought it all over.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: My mind's made up, so I'm going to have to
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: get out of this mess in my own way. Honey,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: we got to talk. Come on, where are you please? Sar?
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: You see I'm having an awful tough time.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Pictures it is.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Let me make it tough.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Run me.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry boy.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Thanks for the bubby riding mister as well while it left. Baby,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: you can't run, don't try it.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: I know that.
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: But I come back, King Jonesy.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: We'll make it a hard way. Since I couldn't stop
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Jonesy from running, I figured I can at least stop
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: the guy who was chasing it. So I called the
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: BigMan Plaza and found out that all In Begley was
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: still registered. I got my car started for the hotel,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: but then I get another idea. It was a good
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: chance for a sleazy, blackmailing crumb like Beggie carried a
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: record of his own anyway, it was worth a trying
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: to pay off better now than a beating. So I
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: went to police headquarters instead, where Detective Lieutenant Matthews was
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: his own sympathetic self as usual. So you got some
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: citizen all stake out, and now you want to find
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: out if he's a crook. I'm what is this something
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: new in crime detection? Now? Look, Matthews, I'll come down
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: some quiet Tuesday and we'll make all the jokes all afternoon.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: But right now, in a minute, if you're going to
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: dip into police files, I would like to know a
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: little bit more about it, eh, not joke? All right?
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: The guy goes by name of all In Begley, fat
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: dog six one about forty could be anything from a
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: badget or a bum check on it. Right now, he's
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: shooting an angle. It includes me, So I find him
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: in the files. I want an exclusive on him for
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: ten minutes. Then he's audio eh, and watched the Hooker?
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Why are you included because of a brunette named Jones?
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Oh Jones, yes Jones. I like to make it Marlow
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: someday and pool Matthews the time. I'm serious, okay, soill okay, okay,
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: so you'll find about three thousand fat guys in there.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: You know, two thousand of them were doc Yeah, go
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: ahead and start. I'll send them one of the clerks
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: to give you a hands. Matthew's gifts was close, were
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: the clerk's helping hard work. We narrowed the field down
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: to a few hundred cards and started through the street lights.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Have no outside for now. We finally founded forty pounds
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: lighter in sporting mustache. But there was no doubt about it.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: James Holland alias jim Olo Elias Allan big Low is
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: now all in Bagley. Were charges that ran from Hetty

  Speaker 2: good again for the first time Jones he'd run away
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: at the Square Dance. When we turned up Whindley, Matthews
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: cut the siren and he blocked above the boulevard. We
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: stopped around the corner from the beachman ploset with a
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: two story frame hotel held together by countless coats of
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Chief paint only and inside the line of empty sweet
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: air bottles said it took something more than ordinary ventilation
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: to keep the musty smell from getting thicken.
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: Up his shoes.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: Jittery Nightcarck managed to tell us the vaguely had room
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: two twelve and left his mouth hanging open while Matthews
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: sent him outside. Lollo, you mentioned ten minutes along with him.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: You still want to Yeah, it's important to me, Matthews. Okay,
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: somebody's got to go up and get him.
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: Might as well be you.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: Look, the boys will cover his window from outside and
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: both ends of the hall from the landings.
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: If it gets tight, just whistle, let he duck go ahead.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: I went upstairs the second slow, and the only life
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: was in red bull with the flower into the hall.
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Mad fire rises. Just then midway down I saw a
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: ticket back me out of the door. A figure was
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: having trouble with a lot. He turned three fast steps
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: toward me before he realized I was there. It was
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: all the begueley. He saw me stop and began slowly
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: backing up. What do you want? What are you doing here?
