3:36
Carter. Today's story starts in Nick's office. Says Nick and Patsy are interviewing
3:42
a stranger, a young man who has just called to consult Nick. How
3:45
did you happen to come here? Well, I ask a policeman where I
3:47
could find a good detective, and he gave me your name. Does you
3:50
tell us what's bothering you? Well? Three mornings ago I woke up in
3:53
a strange bed in a strange apartment until the young lady whose apartment it was
3:58
told me I had no idea where I was. Judge, I'd rather bandage
4:00
around your head. You must have had an accident. Was that before or
4:03
after you woke up in this strange bed? It must have been before.
4:06
I don't remember anything about it. The girl whose apartment it was told me
4:11
she found me on the steps of her apartment house last Friday night or other
4:15
Saturday morning, as she returned from a party where she saw I was injured.
4:17
So she managed to get me up to her place and called her doctor.
4:21
Well, he said my injury wasn't serious, but I had to be
4:24
quiet for a few days. So she let me stay there for the night.
4:27
But the next morning, even though I was able to answer her questions,
4:30
I knew nothing about myself. I had to tell her something, so
4:33
I invented a name, and I told her some story about being from out
4:38
of town, having had a bad fall, and so on. What name
4:40
did you give it? John Powell? That name doesn't mean anything to you.
4:43
No, I just picked it out of the air. What makes you
4:45
think you may be a criminal? This look good, grief and it cook
4:48
At all that money? Yes, there's over ten thousand dollars there, And
4:53
look at this well diamond levlire one like that, even though it's pretty old
4:58
fashioned, must be worth at least five or six thousand. And those diamond
5:00
eardrops are pretty special too. Did you find anything in your pockets that might
5:04
help you establish your identity? No? The suit I was wearing the night
5:08
she found it was bloodstained. So I bought this suit and hat this morning
5:12
at a small store I passed. I left the other suit at the cleaners,
5:15
but I went over thoroughly. First, all I found was this calling
5:18
god, Warren McAllister. No address or anything, just mean anything to you,
5:24
not a thing. I looked in the telephone book and found there is
5:27
a Warren McCallister on East eighty first Street. I thought maybe I was he,
5:30
so I called up and asked for him. But whoever answered said mister
5:34
McAllister was just leaving for the country and couldn't come to the phone. What
5:38
do you want me to do? Find out who I am if you can,
5:41
and especially find out whether or not I'm a criminal? Come on,
5:45
Nick, we've got nothing better to do. Why don't you help him out?
5:48
All right? First, what's the girl's name and address? Her name
5:53
is Lara David. She lives at seventy six eighty four Windsor Road. And
5:57
what about the doctor, Well, Miss David called him doctor Boom and that's
6:00
all I know about him. And where'd you leave your other suit? To
6:01
be clean? Here's the claim check for ed. I'm sure he won't find
6:05
anything. You never can tell where are you going to be? I don't
6:09
know that. I'll let you know as soon as I get settled. Very
6:11
well, mister Powell. Meanwhile, Patsy and I'll start by calling on miss
6:15
Laura David, Apartment three d David. He told us the truth about this
6:29
anyway. Oh yeah, Riley, what are you doing here? He was
6:35
just gonna ask you that what do you know about her? About who the
6:40
dame who rents this apartment? Wise, guys, you never even heard of
6:43
her until half an hour ago, lieutenant were you doing? See? You
6:46
just jumped him to pass the time of day? I said, we came
6:48
to see her about a client of hour. Ook. Hey, Riley,
6:50
what's this all about? And why are you here? Right now? I
6:54
am asking the questions. What's the name of this client of yours? He
6:57
told us his name was John Powell. What did he want you to do
7:00
for him? He wanted us to find out who he is. He has
7:02
amnesia from a thought on the head. So that's what that move meant?
7:05
What not's that rally? We found it on the table here one hundred dollars
7:09
Bill pion to it. Yea, it is day, Miss David. Thanks
7:14
for all you've done and impose in your hospitality no longer. Please reimburse both
7:18
the doctor and yourself for an expense you've been put to on my account.
7:23
Waitfully, John Howell, I doesn't say much the David girl and tell us
7:28
what it means once we start working on her. Is she in the jug?
7:31
A cup on the bead? Found her trying to hide a gun in
7:33
a nice canon a way to work this morning? He brought her and the
7:36
gun down the headquarters. She claims she found it on his steps last Friday
7:41
night and was trying to get rid of it. Maybe she's telling the truth,
7:44
Riley, People do that you know anything wrong with the gun plenty?
7:48
In the first place, it was a Swedish gun a boat for his thirty
7:50
two caliber. Now you just don't find them on your doorstep. In the
7:55
second place, we checked it and found it was the gun used to knock
7:58
off a stiff who was killed near the water front last Friday night. So
8:03
so you better kick in with what you know about this so called client who
8:07
yourse. Well, I'll be glad to that you talk with him, Raley,
8:09
But I don't know where to find him. But the love you got
8:13
a client and you don't know where to find him. Just as soon as
8:15
he gets in touch with us, we'll let you know. In the meantime,
8:18
how about letting us talk to the David girl. Oh sure, anything
8:22
I can do for you, mister Carton will be a pleasure, even though
8:24
you won't do nothing for me. Come on, well, Patsy, we
8:41
certainly didn't get much out of that David girl. No, she just told
8:43
us the same thing she told Rally. Yes, please, we want to
8:48
see the suit this check calls for Oh yes, sure, just a minute,
8:52
I'll get it for you. I ain't changed it out yet. I
8:56
knew that step On it was blood. Shaddy had an accident. If it
9:01
is, thanks, h oh, pocket's all empty, just as he said
9:11
they were, no labels it. Oh well, here, Patsy, a
9:18
hole right through pocket lining cloth and everything smells the powder to me. Yes,
9:24
if I had the gun right through the pocket, didn't have time to
9:26
draw it. Is this part of the lining of the jacket or is it
9:30
something in the lining? Let me see. It feels like something in the
9:33
lining. I should say, yes, there's a hole in the pocket.
9:37
Here the second Ah, here it is, But what is it? Nick?
9:43
It's one of these small labels you paste on your baggage showing the ship
9:48
you sail down. This one came from the Ebercrombie. Does that help it?
9:52
May? We'll find out later. Well, that's all we can do
9:54
here. Now, let's call on mister McAllister here. Lieutenant is expecting you're
10:11
in the library, Nick, find out. Fascinating what took you so long?
10:16
Nick? Did you get a flat tire? Maybe? Thanks for the
10:18
welcome rally? What's going on here? Is? If you didn't know?
10:22
But I don't, Well, Riley, what is it? Oh? Is
10:26
that McAllister? Yes, it's McAllister, and Denn's a door nail. And
10:31
don't tell me you don't know nothing about it because I wouldn't believe it.
10:39
Well, so McAllister is dead too. How is this going to affect Nick's
10:43
efforts to learn who John Powell really is? Or does John Powell know more
10:48
about this? And he's told Nick? We'll see in just a moment.
10:52
Folks have a habit of forgetting to use the door mat, whether they come
10:56
home through winter snow, in spring rain or from summertime. Swimming rules and
11:00
the water they track in certainly spoils the appearance of shining freshly cleaned floors.
11:05
But those floors look spick and span again in a twinkling when you keep them
11:09
protected with Linux Clear Gloss Varnish. Because it keeps both dirt and water right
11:13

all three great Linax Home Bright News and kem Tone, the Miracle wall finish
12:07
at hardware paint and department stores everywhere. And now back to our story.
12:18
We left Nick and Patsy facing an angry Lieutenant Raleigh, who was accusing them
12:22
of knowing more about the murder of mister McAllister than they pretended. Yes,
12:24
it's McAllister, and did as adore Neil, And don't tell me you don't
12:28
know nothing about it, because I wouldn't believe it. But we doubt,
12:31
Lieutenant Army. Of course we don't now what happened, Riley. He was
12:35
just about to learn the details when you drove up, so we waited for
12:37
you to join us. Thank you, Riley. I knew I could count
12:39
on you to do the right thing. Why watch your blood pressure, Lieutenant,
12:43
I ought to throw you both in the click for ninety nine years.
12:46
All right, all right, now, how about finding out what happened to
12:48
McAllister? All right? All right now, you you chauffeur, Yes,
12:54
sir, what's your name? Barry? Sir? All right, Barry,
12:56
tell us what you know about this, and don't leave nothing out. Well,
13:00
I was driving mister McAllister home from the bank, and I stopped in
13:03
front of the house, same as always. I was just going to get
13:05
out and open the door. For him. When a man came up to
13:07
me with a gun in his hand. He told me to keep my hands
13:11
on the wheel and it look straight ahead, not to pay any attention to
13:15
what I heard. You go on? What happened? Then? Well?
13:18
I heard the car door open behind me. Mister McAllister started to say something,
13:22
and then I heard a shot. Then I heard a man say,
13:26
come on, Mike, and they ran up the street. I turned around
13:28
saw mister McAllister slump down in the back seat and two men running toward a
13:33
car. Where was the other car in the middle of the block on the
13:35
other side of the street. The men got in and it drove off.
13:39
You got any idea who the men were what it was after? No,
13:41
sir, all right, Berry, it's off for you for now, but
13:46
don't go away. We may watch you again in a few minutes. Oh,
13:48
Charlot Tenant a stick around now you what's your name? Well, what
13:52
do you know about this? The name is Stu the Lieutenant. I'm I
13:56
was mister Mcallis's butler. Stover. Did a man named John Powell call here
14:03
today? Yes he did, just as mister McAllister was leaving, Sir,
14:07
But mister McAllister said he didn't know anyone by that name, so he didn't
14:11
speak to him. Did you recognize the voice? And no, sir,
14:15
But I'm almost sure it was the same person who called about an hour ago
14:18
and asked if mister McAllister had returned it. I told him I expected him
14:22
in about half an hour. I asked him his names here, but he
14:26
hung up. So, mister, Detective Carter, this guy Powell didn't just
14:30
happen to call you two up and tell you he knocked off this guy too,
14:33
now, did he? He couldn't have called us, Lieutenant, We
14:35
haven't been back to the office since we left you. Then, how did
14:37
you happen to show up here just when you did that? We found McAllister's
14:39
card and Powell's wallet. That's right, Lieutenant Al asked us to say if
14:43
Mcallison knew anything about him, who he might really be. I'd sure like
14:48
to get a look at this client of yours. He seems to have a
14:50
finger in every murder that goes on around here. You wouldn't let me just
14:54
take a little pea cat and would you just for the sake of our long
14:58
and lovely friendship. Finally, I mean it. I haven't say why what's
15:01
going mc? I told that guy to stick around here. He'll be right
15:05
back, sir. He's just taking the car round to the garage on the
15:07
next avenue, the same as he always does when it's not being used,
15:11
and we gotta go over that car for a fingerprints. As soon as my
15:13
men get here, cal Goo get him. I'll even back here before I
15:16
can say, John ruck, Michael right scover. What do you know about
15:22
that chauffeur Barry? I not much, sir. He came to work here
15:26
about three months ago, as mister McAllister hired him himself. Did you see
15:31
any part of what happened when mister McAllister was shut just the ind sir.
15:35
I heard the car drive up and I went to open the door. Just
15:39
as I did, I heard a shot and saw the two men start toward
15:41
the other car, and Barry was sitting in the front seat the way He
15:46
said, yes, sir, he was sitting there with his hands on the
15:48
wheel. As soon as the men started running, he called me and I
15:52
went to see how badly mister McAllister was hurt. I see by the waist
15:56
over. Do you happy to know whether the chauffeur Barry Lives. I think
16:00
he has a room over in the next avenue, sir, at number seven
16:03
six one two. I believe it is. It's over a bakery. Thank
16:07
you well, Patty. I think that's all for us here. Where do
16:11
you Nannik? I think we'll take a trip down to the waterfront. I
16:14
want to call on the purser of the Abercrombie. Did you say the Ebber
16:18
Crombie, sir? Why? Yes? Why it's probably only a coincidencer,
16:22
But mister McAllister was very much worried last Friday night because of men he was
16:26
expecting on the Ebber Crombie failed to show up. That's so who was this
16:33
shepherd didn't show up? I don't know, sir. And mister McAllister was
16:36
looking forward to seeing him. He was bringing him something important. I believe
16:41
he sent his car down to the pier to meet him, but very reported
16:44
that he wasn't on the boat. Why is mister McAllister interested in anything besides
16:48
his bank? Oh yes, sir. He was the head of several committees
16:51
which were acting against enemy propaganda in this country. Combatting enemy propaganda, huh
16:56
ah, This thing is beginning to make sense, Patsy. Now I'm more
17:00
anxious than ever to talk to the purser of the Abercrombie. Will you tell
17:14
the purser who I'd like to see him? Please? This doesn't look like
17:15
an American ship, Nick, Even though it is named the Abercrombie, isn't,
17:19
Patsy. It was originally the Prince knot a d any special. I
17:23
was taken over by the English when Hitler rolled over Denmark, now sails for
17:26
Sweden. I believe you think that the label we found in John Powell's clothes
17:30
may mean that he came in on this bout. I hope so, Patsy.
17:33
And that's another thing makes me think that may be true. The gun
17:36
that miss David found, the one that Powell must have dropped on the steps
17:37
of her apartment house, was a Swedish gun. Remember, yes, a
17:41
Beauforst thirty two. Mister Carter, you want to talk to me? Yes?
17:45
Yes, was there a passenger on your boat this last trip by the
17:48
name of John Powell, Jan Powell? And no, we have only three
17:53
young gentlemen traveling alone. I remember well, one Swedish American, mister Lars
18:00
Joust from from Michigan one Norwegian mister Harveson and the young South American mister Richard
18:07
Vallen. Richard Wallen done so much like Colinx? You are from the police.
18:12
Maybe, well, yes, in a way? Why then I think
18:18
maybe this mister Vallen could be the one you are looking for. We had
18:22
trouble with him on the way. What kind of trouble, Oh, it
18:26
was not serious, just his room steward report to me that he was armed,
18:32
that he had seen pistol on his dresser. So I call on him
18:36
and ask him to give me pistol for the trip. It is les,
18:41
you know, yes, I understand, But he did not want to give
18:44
it to me. He talked about it for a long time. Then at
18:48
last he gave it to me and I put it in safe then we dark
18:52
I give it back to him. Very interesting. Did you notice the make
18:56
of it? Oh? Yes it was, Bofer started to calibove thirty two.
19:00
Could you describe this Richard Vallin for me? Hey? He was young
19:03
man, slender, good looking, a blonde hair, about my size.
19:10
That's pawel all right, nick, Oh pursua. Did you happen to notice
19:12
of a car met him at the dock. But yes, when he leaves
19:15
the boat, he get into big black limousine. They start away, and
19:19
then how about the block from the dock the car stop again. It was
19:25
too dark to see what was happening. I think maybe there was trouble with
19:29
the engine because I hear a backfire and then the car go on again.
19:33
But that wy same place where police find dead man next morning. Nick.
19:38
It all adds up, doesn't it. Yes, Patsy, I think it
19:41
does well. Thanks for your trouble, Pressure, It's no trouble, thank
19:45
you, Patsy. I think we'll have a look at this room where mister
19:48
McAllister's chauffeur lives. Do you expect to find Barry here, Nick, I'd
20:00
rather hope not. I'd like to get a look at his room without his
20:03
knowing it. Are you looking for someone? Yes, we have an appointment
20:07
with the barrier, mister Mcallis's chauffeur. He told us to come here and
20:11
wait for him. Said you'd unlock his door so we could wait inside.
20:14
I don't unlock no rumor's door for no strangers. Oh yes, you do
20:18
see this, Oh sure, sure, sure, I'll open it for you.
20:22
You don't have to act like that about it, though. Go ahead,
20:23
open up, get on this floor. Yeah, right over here here
20:30
you are. Hurry up? Will you sit down inside here where I can
20:33
see you? Okay, I said, all right, bed to shut the
20:37
Doorkay, now let's see what we can find here. Hey, look,
20:52
hurry up, will you. I got work to do. I can't sit
20:55
here forever. You'll sit there till we finish the search. In this little
21:00
can, I can't open it, hey, Petsy, let me have that.
21:03
Yes, as the cover is sound pretty tight. But that's movie film,
21:08
isn't it? Certainly is. Let's see. Oh I look at that?
21:15
Well, what is it? Nig? Looks like pictures of German atrocities
21:18
and destruction in some of the conquered countries. Oh, these are brutal.
21:22
What did you find this, Petsy? In the bottom drawer, wrapped up
21:25
in some long underwear. There's a briefcase there too, briefcase. I'll see
21:29
it here it is, Yes, that's it all right, Come on,
21:36
Patsy, but Nick, no time to lose. We're gonna take this stuff
21:37
down to Riley. If you turned over to the FBI, they'll be very
21:41
happy to get it. Maybe they would but they ain't gonna now, Carter,
21:44
take a look at this gun of mine, and then hand over the
21:45
film and the briefcase. I'll take care of them myself. Very I'd like
21:52
to make a deal with you. Yeah, what kind of a deal I
21:55
would? Excuse me? Do you mind if I get my handkerchief? Never
22:00
mind the funny business, give me the stuff you found here? Very well?
22:03
Here, may I get my hairdkerchief? All right? But I'm watching
22:11
you, so don't try anything. I don't carry any guns in my breast
22:15
pocket. I just want my handkerchief. Hey, what was that? Why
22:23
you you? Oh? All right, Patty, you can stop pulling your
22:34
breath. Now, we get out of your fast find a cop and bring
22:37
him back quick, right, Nick, Jim. I'm glad I realized what
22:40
you were doing in time, so I didn't get knocked out too. A
22:42
little flask of quick acting knockout gas comes in handy sometimes. Now, my
22:47
unconscious friend, I'll just collect the film and the briefcase and turn them over
22:51
to Riley to be forwarded to the FBI. They'll be glad to get evidence
22:53
like this. To Berry was only working for McAllister so he could keep an
23:08
eye on him. Yes, Rally. McAllister was very active and combatting enemy
23:11
propaganda, and Barry was on the other side. I believe that as soon
23:15
as he Barry found out the names of the men McAllister was working with,
23:19
he had him killed. Well with the pictures another date on that briefcase,
23:23
the FBI should be able to make short work of the whole crew. H
23:29
Lieutenant Rarey homicide speaking who Shoe Shoe Centerbraton something interesting Rally could be well,
23:37
Shultz, I was on mcbeachen night when the big car goes around the corner
23:40
fast and the guy falls out plans with these head up against one of the
23:44
l pillars, out cold. I got an ambulance and took him to the
23:47
hospital. Well, I found these things only, Lieutenant, That's why I
23:51
come direct to you. Nick Howl's lavalier and eardrops. Yes, and that's
23:56
McAllister's card and all the money. You mean that guy could be John Powells
24:00
and they could be Rally. So he wasn't no crooked Well, this show
24:03
looks like it. I'm sure he wasn't. Right. I am going to
24:06
the hospital and have a look at that guy. You want to come right
24:10
you are. Grab your hats to Patsy. Let's get going. I was
24:22
wonderful neck. When you're ride with the police department, you don't have to
24:26
watch up the traffic or red line or anything that's slayer safe gads or if
24:30
you don't use your own car, that's not Lieutenant Riley, Headquarters. Lieutenant
24:34
that calls for me, hold everything shoots shows. This is Lieutenant Randy.
24:40
Go ahead. We just got a call from the guy we took to the
24:44
hospital last night. Lieutenant. He says he saw a car used by McAllister's
24:48
killers. Says car licenses k X five six NASH seven D. I checked
24:56
that number and the belongs to Gussie line. He length chus send out some
25:00
minute once and pick up Cushy and his gang and bring him in and hold
25:03
them for question and get going fast. That's all right, Lieutenant, take
25:07
care of him fast enough. Well, step on it, race. What's
25:11
holding your back? So, Paul, you actually saw McAllister killed last night?
25:22
Y as plain as I see you now. I was waiting for him
25:26
to come home in hopes that he could identify me. When the killers started
25:30
off, I jumped on the rear bumper of their car, but when they
25:32
went around the corner, I got thrown off hit something. I guess you
25:36
hit your head and a nail pillar. Best here in the world for amnesia
25:40
practically never fails. Mister Valen Valin, how do you know my name?
25:45
I only know it myself. A few minutes ago. We find out things.
25:48
Now, suppose you tell us what happened when you landed off the Abercrombie
25:52
last Friday night, That is, if you can remember now. I remember
25:55
all right. I got off the boat and McAllister's show for met me.
25:57
We drove a block or so from the doc and he stopped. Two men
26:02
opened the car door and started to get in. I saw they had gun,
26:04
so I fired at one of them. Then something hit me on the
26:07
head, and that's the last I know. Now, look here, Powell
26:11
or Vallin or whatever your name is. Won't you get all that money we've
26:15
found on you? Them sparkless? They don't look honest to me. The
26:18
jewels belonged to my great aunt Miriam. I took them across to have them
26:22
recut in Amsterdam. Then the Germans took Amsterdam, so I had to bring
26:26
them back. The money belonged to a refugee I met who asked me to
26:30
deposit to my account until he could get over here. But I still don't
26:33
see why those men tried to hold me up. Nobody knew I had the
26:37
jewels with me. Wasn't the jewels they wanted, Vallain, It was the
26:41
role of film on the envelope of documents you had on your briefcase. Were
26:44
they important? Where did you get them? Well, a friend of my
26:48
father's gave them to me, asked me to give them to mister mc allister
26:51
when I got over here. But what were they, mister Connor? The
26:53
film showed, not se atrocities and conquered countries, the documents for pictures,
26:57
descriptions and names of active workers and anti American activities here in this country.
27:03
McAllister's show for Barry was one of the head workers. When you prevented those
27:07
men from getting what they wanted, Barry dumped you out of the car and
27:10
took the film and the papers to his room to hold mto legal dispos of
27:12
them safely. But we got there first. Well, lieutenant, are you
27:15
satisfied that mister Powell, or I should say, mister Vallen, is innocent?
27:22
H Come on Raley. Cheer up. You've got the film and the
27:26
anti American data, You've got McAllister's murderers, and you're going to get all
27:29
the credit for solving the case. What more do you want? In just
27:41
a moment, Nick and Patsy will bring you a preview of next week's exciting
27:45

29:07
himself. Well, Nick, how about a peek into next week's story?
29:11
Got a few hints for us Our next week's story, Ken is about one
29:14
of the wildest and most exciting nights Patsy and I ever spent. I should
29:18
say it was what happened, Nick, Four ritual tories during the Revolution buried
29:22
all their valuables in a small rocky island. Their heirs had found a clue
29:26
to the burial place of the treasure and called me in to solve the clue.
29:29
It was in code, but they didn't figure on the one man who
29:32
wanted it all for himself and who was willing to kill to be sure he
29:34
got it. What do you call a story, Nick, It's called four
29:37
Rings of Death or the Mystery of the Tory Island Murders. I hope he'll
29:41
be with us next week. So long for now, So long to all
29:45
of you, see you soon, and so long to both of you,
29:47
Nick and Patsy. We'll be here waiting for you next week. Next week.
30:06
At the same time, listen to another curious experience of Nick Carter Master
30:10
Detective entitled for Range of Death for Nick Carter and the Mystery of the Tory
30:18
Island Murders. Nick Carter Master Detective is featured in Street and Smith magazines.
30:27
Lawn Clark is starred as Nick, with Helen Chot as Patsy. Original music
30:32
is played by Lou White, and the programs are written and directed by Jack
30:36
McGregor. Nick Carter Master Detective is presented at this time and over these same
30:41
stations each week by the three great Linax Home Bright News, Linux Clear Gloss
30:47
Varnish, Linux Cream Polish and Linax Self Polishing Wax created by ACME America's great
30:53
producer of ACME Fine Quality Paints. This is Ken Powell speaking for the thousands
30:59
of Linux dealers all over America and saying, so long until next week.
31:03
This is mutual welcome back. Sometimes I think Nick Carter carries around more weapons
31:30
and handy items than Batman and without even the benefit of a utility belt.
31:34
Overall, this is a great story. Definitely having writing this stuff during World
31:41
War Two is always a pretty handy thing, just because there are a variety
31:47
of different villains that can fit into a lot of pieces that you generally wouldn't
31:52
see in either post war or pre war stories. And that does lead into
31:56
a pretty good opportunity to incur to check out the war Great Detectives dot net
32:04
slash the War for great World War two stories, we turned to some listener
32:10
comments and feedback. Now Lone Wolf says, great app best money I ever
32:15
spent love old time radio and detectives. Ken writ's a shout out from Toronto,
32:22
Canada. Your show is great. You do a wonderful job as hosts.
32:27
I listen to you every day. Thank you so much. Who knew
32:29
the iPad would be used for radio programs my age? Well, thanks so
32:35
much. And then we did have a comment on Homicide o'caine, which we
32:38
only had one episode from episode twelve twenty. I'm addicted to this comes from
32:45
Daniel. I'm addicted to the Greatest Detectives. Wear my headphones to bed every
32:49
night and listen to one or two episodes. As a retired cop, I
32:52
wish that the leads had developed that quick and easy when I was a commander
32:57
of the detective Bureau. Some of the episode remind me of past cases.
33:00
Keep up the good work and the on the point commentaries. Thank you very
33:07
much on that, Daniel. I actually have a friend who's police officer here
33:13
in the Treasure Valley area, and he said that sometimes media presentations, obviously
33:22
not thinking of old time radio, but on television as well, where he's
33:29
been before Grand jurys and they've asked him about the results of test, you
33:32
know, the type of thing where you get instantaneous results if you're watching it
33:37
on TV. But he had to inform them very gently that they would not
33:43
actually have the results of said tests back for another month. I definitely think
33:47
that there are many police officers who would love to be able to wrap up
33:52
their cases in half an hour to an hour. That's the magic of drama.
33:58
And then we have a comment from my tale. Thank you for your
34:00
show. I truly enjoy it. It is my relaxation, my escape from
34:05
the day. Well, I'm so glad to be able to assist and provide
34:09
that for you that will actually do it for today. We will be back
34:15
tomorrow with Part five of the Phantom Chase Matter and an episode of Manhunt,
34:20
and then join us back here next Thursday for another episode of Nick Carter.
