The Falcon - Case Of The Shopkeepers Gun · The Falcon Collection

• 0:03
  Hello, Yes, this is the Falcon speaking. This is Hurly he Friends
• 0:08
  inviting you on behalf of the Craft Foods Company to listen to the Adventures of
• 0:13
  the Falcon, starring Lestaiman. You met the Falcon first in his best selling
• 0:17
  novels, then you saw him in his thrilling motion picture series. Now join
• 0:22
  him on the air when the Falcon solves case of the Shopkeeper's gun. It's
• 0:32
  Sunday night in New York and in the Midtown hotel room. An ugly smile
• 0:37
  that has almost a sneer twist the thin lips of stocky Ed Taylor as he
• 0:41
  looks with bored and sleepy eyes at the young man who was pacing the floor
• 0:45
  in front of him. Sit down, Conrad, give you feet of rest.
• 0:50
  You haven't given me your answer yet. Do I get my money back
• 0:52
  at don't? I? Now think about it? What's the think? You
• 0:55
  gave me a rocket? Either you make good on it or what do I
• 0:59
  get my money? Come here, Conry, what do you want? Tell
• 1:03
  you something? What I could go? That's the idea? What are you
• 1:07
  trying to do? Just taking precaution? Yeah, here we are, so
• 1:11
  you brought a gun with you. I wasn't gonna use it much. I
• 1:15
  had had to to protect myself. Well, now that you don't have any
• 1:19
  protection, don't you think it's a little dangerous to hang around here. I'll
• 1:23
  get a lawyer. If a lawyer could do you any good, you wouldn't
• 1:26
  have come up here throwing your weight around. I hate to keep you because
• 1:30
  I know you must have things to do. Shall I show you out or
• 1:34
  throw you out? All right? Teller, you win this ride, I
• 1:38
  win them all. Pals, you might as well throw in the towel unless
• 1:42
  you want to see what it feels like to get counted out. We'll say
• 1:45
  about that goodbye. Tell him you're an old meanie Taylor. That was no
• 1:53
  way to treat the fella, dum jerk. He had a gun like you
• 1:57
  said he would. Yes, I wonder if he'll try anything else. I
• 2:00
  doubt it, But as long as he doesn't know we're working together, I
• 2:04
  can always find out. Let's see the gun here. Thanks? Could you
• 2:08
  hear all he said in the other room? Yeah? Forty five? Conrad
• 2:14
  believes in doing things in a big way. He probably won't quit. You
• 2:17
  better have a talk with him tomorrow. See if he's planning anything or maybe
• 2:21
  it won't be necessary. I have thought of one way I can kill two
• 2:23
  birds with one stone or one bullet. What you're not going to kill him?
• 2:30
  No, Taylor, I'm not going to kill him. Well I'm going
• 2:32
  to kill you. What kind of a gag is that? We wait a
• 2:38
  minute, Moody, don't point out you're the owner of the shop. What
• 3:00
  I said? Are you the owner of this place? Oh? Yeah,
• 3:02
  George Conrad, that's right. How's business? What I said? How's look?
• 3:07
  Turn off that record? Well here's a week of talk? Oh yeah,
• 3:09
  shoot shu, what were you saying? I said? The record?
• 3:14
  Business must be pretty good? Why for you to be able to blow ten
• 3:17
  grand Conrad? Why sick? Who are you? Sergeant Corbett? Police Department?
• 3:23
  Police? Well, what's the matter? He found your name and Ed
• 3:27
  Taylor's books? Oh you've got his books? Can you prove anything about?
• 3:30
  What about his swindling? Oh you think he's a swindler? Of course,
• 3:34
  isn't that why you picked him up? Not exactly? Then? What found
• 3:37
  the gun? Traced it? You bought it a couple of days ago.
• 3:39
  That's right. What's that got to do? That? Killed Taylor? Killed?
• 3:44
  That's what I said? Oh so that's it. But surely you don't.
• 3:47
  Look if I had anything to do with the shooting, I certainly wouldn't
• 3:50
  have left my own gun there. Why did you leave your gun there?
• 3:53
  Taylor took it away from me. Why did you buy the gun? I
• 3:54
  thought there might be trouble when I demanded my money. So you admit demanding
• 4:00
  honey, You admit you expected trouble. You admit you went up there with
• 4:02
  a gun. I didn't kill him, Like I said, I suddenly wouldn't
• 4:04
  have left the gun. There wasn't left there. It was hidding in a
• 4:08
  trash barrel in an alley. Thereby, if the barrel hadn't been accidentally knocked
• 4:12
  over, the gun probably never would have been discovered. Well, then all
• 4:15
  I can say is get out of my way. Hey, I right stop?
• 4:33
  Well hello, George, you got the door quick, I said,
• 4:35
  shut it? What's the matter? Why do I lock it? Marie?
• 4:41
  The police arrested me? The police? Why what did you do? Nobody
• 4:45
  killed Taylor? Oh no, I think it was me. I admitted I
• 4:47
  had a row with him. But you didn't kill him, of course not.
• 4:49
  But how am I going to prove it if you didn't do it?
• 4:51
  When I was there. The bullet was from my gun. It was,
• 4:56
  but how could he? Taylor got it away from me. I don't know
• 4:58
  what happened after that. I did you not to get a gun? All
• 5:00
  right? You will? Right, let's not go into that. Now.
• 5:02
  What am I gonna do? Well? First, you better give yourself up.
• 5:05
  I can't. They got too much on me. But running away will
• 5:08
  only make it look worse. I can't help it. Please, Georgie,
• 5:12
  you wouldn't listen to me before. Listen to me now, don't be crazy.
• 5:15
  Give yourself up. We'll get a good lawyer and maybe a detective.
• 5:18
  Now what are you hope? Who's that? I don't know who is it?
• 5:30
  Don't let him in. You know you're in that Conrad. You don't
• 5:33
  want any trouble. You up, Marie. The building next door is the
• 5:36
  same height as this one of his name. I can get up the fire
• 5:39
  escape to the room. No, they'll have the building surrounded. They'll shoot
• 5:42
  you. My only chance, Georgie, Please, you gotta try it.
• 5:45
  Then I've got to try. Hello. Oh hello, I'm looking for Michael
• 6:04
  Waring's apartments of Falcon You found it, are you? He? That's right?
• 6:09
  Well, I'm Marie Cameron. I phoned you a little while ago.
• 6:11
  Oh, yes, come in, thank you. I since you call.
• 6:14
  I've been doing some research. The story is in the paper, and part
• 6:16
  of it. I want to give you the wrist. All right, go
• 6:19
  ahead. Well, do you prefer to be called Fulkon or mister Wearings.
• 6:26
  I'll settle for Mike, all right, but in that case, you better
• 6:29
  call me Marie. All right, Marie? Now what did you want to
• 6:31
  tell? Then? I turned Georgie into the police because I know he's innocent.
• 6:35
  You can't think of a better reason. Oh, I mean it.
• 6:39
  I was afraid of he tried to escape, they'd shoot him. But now
• 6:43
  I've gotten him into this jam. You've got to get him out of it.
• 6:46
  They're pretty good at making up other people's mind. But he's innocent,
• 6:49
  and you're such a good detective. So I hear you. Just keep listening
• 6:55
  to that kind of talk. I will if you live up to it.
• 6:58
  I'll try. Now, what makes you so sure Conrad is innocent? I
• 7:01
  know you also know he bought a gun. Don't tell me he was just
• 7:04
  going to use it as a paperway. He bought that for self defense?
• 7:08
  Oh sure? Who ever heard of guns or anything else? You think he
• 7:11
  killed Taylor his gun did? Oh? But that's just it. Can't you
• 7:15
  see how convenient it was that the trash can was turned over so the gun
• 7:17
  could be found. It was a plant maybe, According to the paper,
• 7:21
  Conrad claims Taylor got the gun away from in the fights. But I didn't
• 7:25
  say what the fight was about, do you know? Yes, That's why
• 7:28
  I wanted to see you. Taylor was a swindler. He sold Georgie an
• 7:31
  interest in now fake silver mining project. How did Georgie find out it was
• 7:35
  fake? Mister Moody told him. Who's Moody? Oh, the man who
• 7:39
  introduced Georgie to Taylor. And when he found out Taylor was a crook,
• 7:43
  he felt terrible about it and told Georgie right away, But Georgie had already
• 7:47
  invested. Is Moody a friend of Georgie's? No, they met on a
• 7:51
  train. I think, where can I find Moody? Well? I don't
• 7:55
  know, but I guess Georgie would. Why what are you wanting for?
• 7:58
  Do you think Moody can help you? Maybe in a number of ways.
• 8:01
  So if I'm going to help you, I better get moving. Where are
• 8:03
  you going to jail? Hello? Georgiane, who are you? Mike Wearing?
• 8:22
  Haven't I heard that name somewhere before? I hope? So what do
• 8:26
  you want? Perhaps you could tell me how to find Frank Moody. Why
• 8:30
  well, he might know something about this murder? And what makes you think
• 8:33
  so Marie tells me that, Marie, what have you got to do with
• 8:35
  her? I'm working for her? In fact, get out of here now,
• 8:39
  Look, George, I said, get out. I'll take it easy.
• 8:41
  He just made enough trouble it. So have you all right, Georgie,
• 8:48
  get up? Sorry I had a sluggie, but you asked for it.
• 8:52
  I don't want any help from Marie, all right, all right,
• 8:54
  it's no use trying to throw me out. I can't get out of here
• 8:58
  even if I want to until they make with the key. Oh yeah,
• 9:01
  I didn't think so. I noticed very interesting? What is where you blow
• 9:05
  your top? Could explain what happened to Taylor? That's right, tell me
• 9:09
  I killed him? See to kind of help? Marie gets me. I
• 9:11
  don't say you kill Taylor, but the police do? You seem determined to
• 9:15
  build up a case for them, And maybe I can help you out of
• 9:16
  this. But I'm gonna need your help. Do I get it? Or
• 9:20
  do you like bars in the window. I don't want any help from Marie.
• 9:24
  I'm not Marie. You're working for her. I'm working for whoever pays
• 9:26
  me. If you want to pick up the check, fight it out with
• 9:28
  her. Do you think you can do anything for me? Wearing? Probably
• 9:33
  if I can find Moody. I don't know where he stay. He always
• 9:37
  called me, oh fine, but I don't think he knows anything about it.
• 9:41
  He was Taylor's come on, wasn't he? Nah? He introduced us.
• 9:45
  Well, that's what I mean. But I'm sure they weren't working together.
• 9:48
  Why it was Moody who told me Taylor was a crook. That's right
• 9:50
  after you had invested. Even so, it was Moody that suggested that you
• 9:54
  buy a gun. Wasn't it to protect myself? Yeah? Yeah, sure.
• 9:56
  In fact, was following Moody's advice that landed you right where you are.
• 10:01
  I hadn't thought of that. You better start thinking. Are you suggesting
• 10:05
  Moody's the murderer? I'm just suggesting it's worth looking into. Yeah it is.
• 10:11
  I had an idea with somebody else who's been swindled by Taylor. But
• 10:15
  the way you line things up. I mean the way Moody has lined you
• 10:18
  up. If only I could tell you where to find them? Or didn't
• 10:22
  he ever say anything that might give a lead, not that I can think
• 10:24
  of. Oh, come on, think hard, though your life depended upon
• 10:28
  it, because there's a good chance it does this, Is it hurly?
• 10:43
  He friends, Well, it sounds as though Mike and George Conrad are going
• 10:46
  to have to think pretty hard to find Moody. Yes, the way you
• 10:50
  have to think when you want to find a way to make good use of
• 10:52
  those leftover pieces of yesterday's roast. But making use of leftovers isn't hard at
• 10:58
  all. If you make Velvita your handy helper. You can melt Craft's famous
• 11:05
  pasteurized processed cheese food for a smooth golden cheese sauce to pour over those leftovers
• 11:11
  for a brand new hot Maine dish. And this velveta sauce is so easy
• 11:16
  to make. All you do is melt a half pound of velveta in the
• 11:20
  top of your double border. You don't have to cut velveta up because it
• 11:24
  melts so easily and so smoothly without any lumps. Then Jester in a quarter
• 11:30
  cup of milk season to your taste, and there you have the smoothest golden
• 11:35
  cheese sauce ever, Just the thing to pour over leftover bits of meat or
• 11:39
  seafood or vegetables for a main dish that really tastes good, extra good because
• 11:46
  Velvita has such a rich yet mild cheddar cheese flavor. And this sauce is
• 11:50
  extra nourishing too because Velvita is so rich in important food values from milk.
• 11:56
  Make it your handy helper mother for easy, hot made dishes and for hearty
• 12:03
  snacks and sandwiches too. Tomorrow you get a two pound loaf of the pasteurized
• 12:07
  processed cheese food of top quality, genuine velvet Doe. Now back to the
• 12:20
  adventures of the Fulcon. Ten minutes have pasted its Mike Wearing had his talk
• 12:26
  with Georgie Conrad. Now the Falcon drops into the homicide Durea to have a
• 12:31
  talk with Sergeant Cormack. Oh Corbett, well you've done it again, ah,
• 12:35
  are you Wearing? What have I done with your usual brilliant logic?
• 12:39
  You locked up the wrong guy. If you're talking about Georgie Conrad, Wells,
• 12:43
  don't tell me you pulled any other Bonus Bonner. Hey, yeah,
• 12:48
  you're right. Wearing. Conrad is unbottledly innocent. That's why I pulled a
• 12:52
  sprint when I questioned him. Well, he's impulsive, that's all. Jerry
• 12:54
  runs for cover when he says a badge. This kind of impulse I don't
• 12:58
  go for. Doesn't prove anything. It doesn't have to with all the rest
• 13:01
  we have on him. You could be wrong. I'm willing to be Sean.
• 13:03
  What have you got a character? Who got Conrad into this? Frank
• 13:07
  Moody one a on him? That's what I want to ask you. You
• 13:11
  have anything on him? Just that he's a name Conrad gave me. He
• 13:13
  has no record, he has no address. If that's your hot Lee,
• 13:16
  I'd like to have a talk with him. Go ahead. All you have
• 13:18
  to do is find him. I was coming on him. Assist from you.
• 13:22
  If he drops in, I'll let you know. It's too good to
• 13:26
  me. Think nothing. I mut to leave me, Corbett, I don't
• 13:41
  Hello, Hello, Marie, this is Mike Wearing. Oh yes, Mike,
• 13:46
  what is it? Do you ever meet Frank Moody with Georgie? Oh?
• 13:48
  Once? It's enough if you remember him? Well, I think I
• 13:52
  would if I saw him again. Good? How soon can you get here
• 13:54
  where the Hollis Hotel is Moody there? That's what I want you to tell
• 13:58
  me. I'll be right over. Well, Mike, hello, Marie,
• 14:15
  run over here. We can sit down. You can watch the people as
• 14:16
  they go through the lobby. Hiight, But what makes you think i'll see
• 14:20
  Moody. I check with Taylor's apartment house. All outgoing calls go through the
• 14:24
  desk there and the clerk writes down the numbers. Taylor made five calls at
• 14:28
  this hotel the last few days before he was killed. And you think he
• 14:31
  was calling Moody. He was calling somebody and would have been Moody. Did
• 14:35
  you ask for Moody at the desk? Oh? Naturally, they say there's
• 14:37
  nobody here by that name. But who says he used his right name?
• 14:41
  Well? How long do you expect me to sit here until you see Moody?
• 14:46
  It may take all day? All right? If you want to help,
• 14:48
  Georgie, do you think Moody can help? I wouldn't be surprised.
• 14:52
  But suppose he's checked out, or suppose it isn't Moody who Taylor was calling.
• 14:56
  He can't always play a sure thing Angel, the other one who said
• 14:58
  I I have to clear Georgie. Not if you can't spare the time,
• 15:01
  I'm willing. I just hope it. You wait a Minuteary, he is
• 15:05
  where waiting for the elevator. Good, I'll join him. And it didn't
• 15:09
  even take five minutes. Are you kidding? This is the third lead I've
• 15:13
  tracked down, and it's the first one that was even hot enough to call
• 15:16
  you in on. I'll be seeing you, Marie. Hello, Marie,
• 15:28
  I beg your pardon, I said, hello, Moody, my name is
• 15:33
  mars Let your friends call you Moody. Who are you? What do you
• 15:35
  want? Mike wear him a friend of Georgie. Conrad very up? Excuse
• 15:39
  me? Oh that's all right, friend, I'm right with you. What
• 15:43
  do you want with me? Wearing tie up with Taylor and I have no
• 15:48
  tie up with him? He led Conrad to him. I'm admitting nothing.
• 15:52
  Oh, it's easy to prove, and I won't be the only one you
• 15:54
  sucked in. Ought to be plenty of people to identify him. I'll cross
• 15:58
  that bridge when I come to it. And now you finished? Or do
• 16:03
  you care to come in? No? I haven't even started I'll come in
• 16:04
  very well. You're what they call a private eye, aren't you? Also?
• 16:11
  Dick Seamers flat foot for hire? A snooper a hawkshaw Michelle, I
• 16:15
  go on, I get the idea. How did you find me with those
• 16:18
  credentials? What do you expect? At any rate? You're a step ahead
• 16:22
  of the police. They haven't been here yet. That's good, is it?
• 16:25
  As long as we can keep you step ahead. I didn't want to
• 16:30
  be connected with this, and you're going to tell me how you found out
• 16:33
  so that I can wipe out the connection. You'll have to wipe me out
• 16:36
  too. You'll begin to get the idea. Don't reach for gun, not
• 16:40
  as long as you beat me to it. I'd hate you to think I'm
• 16:41
  a copycat. Now you'll just raise your hands. That's it, Rocky,
• 16:47
  Rocky, you want me miss Moody? Oh? Who's a Fred Michael Waring
• 16:55
  Defolk? It? Oh? Is that what they call him? Must be
• 17:00
  wonderful to be educated like you are, Rocky. Well, let's clip the
• 17:03
  falcon's talents, frisk him for a rod oughs clean mhmm. It rather careless
• 17:14
  of your wearing coming here without a gun, and I can't see what good
• 17:17
  of it? Do mean? You have a point? Know what, mister
• 17:19
  Moody, Tie him up? Okay, you should I geg him. It
• 17:22
  won't be necessary. One sound out of him, and he knows you will
• 17:26
  shut him up. You'd better be tied up because you and I are going
• 17:30
  to have to make plans, and while we're doing it, we don't want
• 17:33
  the falcon flying away. Well wearing, how do you feel said to be
• 17:48
  untied? You and your boy had your contab yes, wearing. So I
• 17:55
  have things to do. Rocky will keep you company. So long take care
• 17:59
  of him. Rocky, you sure walked into something, mister. Maybe I'll
• 18:07
  get out of it. Moody doesn't seem very smart. Who says so?
• 18:11
  He should have kept up his bluff. This rough stuff just clinches things against
• 18:14
  him. But who knows about it except you, and you're not gonna talk.
• 18:18
  It's only one way to shut me up. He knows that. But
• 18:22
  the place now I'm working on this case, anything happens to me, they
• 18:25
  will. Now it's tied to the tailor murder. So what so what becomes
• 18:27
  of the frame Moody had worked out for Conrad. Conrad's in the poking now
• 18:30
  so that clears him of anything that happens to me. You don't give Moody
• 18:33
  credit. Do you think he didn't think of that? Doesn't look like it.
• 18:37
  So the frame against Conrad fools might anyway with him, horror and frame.
• 18:44
  The question is who framed him? And what's Moody's answer? What's the
• 18:48
  matter with Conrad's girl, Marie? Yes, she turned them in. Who's
• 18:53
  to say she didn't do it to protect herself? Oh so that's it.
• 18:57
  That's it. And then he hires you to make it look like she's innocent.
• 19:03
  But you stumble onto something, so she has to get rid of you.
• 19:07
  Two. I say, she's not stirred, so anything that happens to
• 19:11
  you will fit right into the picture. Well, I've got to apologize to
• 19:15
  Moody. I underestimated him. You're the one who's playing it dumb me.
• 19:21
  Yeah, how do you figure that? The mood is obviously a character who
• 19:25
  likes to go it alone. He gets rid of anybody who knows too much
• 19:27
  about him or with whom he has to split little blood more or that doesn't
• 19:32
  mean a thing to him. How long do you think it's going to be
• 19:34
  before he gives you a dose of the same. He wouldn't maybe not,
• 19:40
  But if I were you, I wouldn't sleep so good as soon as he
• 19:42
  decides you are necessary to him anymore. Okay, just think it over.
• 19:47
  Crazy, not as crazy as Taylor. He thought he and Moody were partners.
• 19:52
  Look what happened to him? I said, shut up, all right,
• 19:56
  Rocky, you don't want to face it. I suppose see you expect
• 20:00
  me to let you go. It would be the smart thing to do,
• 20:03
  ehl. Even if Moody is like you say, What's to stop me from
• 20:10
  clearing up before he gets back and leaving you here? Nothing except that when
• 20:14
  Moody gets through with me, don't you think he'll go gunning for you?
• 20:17
  But if I let you go so you can finish Moody, what's to stop
• 20:22
  you from coming after me? Nothing? But my heart wouldn't be in it
• 20:26
  as much as Moody's. I'll have to think it over. You do that
• 20:32
  and think fast, because when Moody gets back, he'll be calling the shots.
• 20:34
  And I've got an idea. He has one label for each of us.
• 20:45
  This is ed Hurley here again. Friends, Well, I should say,
• 20:48
  Rocky will have to think fast if he's going to get Mike and himself
• 20:52
  out of this predicament as fast as you have to think when unexpected company comes
• 20:56
  and you have to fix something to eat in a hurry. Of course,
• 21:00
  if you have a two pound loaf of Velveta in your refrigerator, your problem
• 21:04
  is solved, because in a matter of minutes you can slice Craft's delicious pasteurized
• 21:10
  processed cheese food and make golden brown grilled cheese sandwiches your guests will really go
• 21:15
  for, and no wonder. Velvita has such a fine, rich, yet
• 21:19
  mild cheddar cheese flavor, and Velveta sandwiches are as wholesome as snack as you
• 21:25
  could want, because Velveta is rich in important food values from milk and as
• 21:30
  digestible as milk itself. Make Velvita your handy helper, won't you? Or
• 21:34
  delicious wholesome snacks and fine hot dishes too. Get genuine Velveta tomorrow. Now
• 21:48
  back to the Adventures of the Falcon. It's a few minutes since Mike tried
• 21:53
  to convince Rocky that he was on the wrong team. Rocky is thinking it
• 21:57
  over, and he's still thinking, and the door opens and Moody returned.
• 22:03
  Well, Rocky I just talked to Conrad's girl on the telephone. She fell
• 22:06
  for it nicely. Yeah, I asked her to meet you in half an
• 22:10
  hour at Roper's grill. Now when she gets there, here's what I want
• 22:12
  you to tell her. Just a minute, Moody, what's that right over
• 22:15
  there we're wearing in the corner on the desk looks like a telephone to me?
• 22:19
  Out of this wearing. I can't help wondering why you had to go
• 22:22
  out to the phone with one ride here in the room. Yeah? Was
• 22:26
  it because there was something you didn't want Rocky to hear? Couldn't it be
• 22:30
  something I didn't want you to hear? Considering your plan for me doesn't seem
• 22:33
  likely. Yeah. Oh but mister Moody, don't be silly Rocky. And
• 22:37
  how come you're asking Rocky to meet Marie? Why not me? To yourself,
• 22:40
  I told you to stay out of this wearing. That's the trouble with
• 22:42
  tagging a guy for the big sleep. It's one way take it for me
• 22:45
  anyway? So why should I take orders? Because you can go out faster,
• 22:48
  you can go out slow if you insist upon being annoying, There's still
• 22:52
  time for Rocky to make you quite uncomfortable. I don't think so. I
• 22:56
  have an idea. Rocky is interested in what I have to say. Rocky
• 22:59
  will do what I tell him. For instance, why are you having him
• 23:02
  meet the girl in the public place that's not wearing Is it because you want
• 23:04
  them to be seen together? Of course not makes it very convenient, Rocky.
• 23:07
  You're wearing a simple light to interrupt? Or are you really having the
• 23:11
  girl meet him there? Why are you lying a Rocky? Yeah, you
• 23:15
  do talk to the girl on the phone. I have to know. That's
• 23:17
  impossible, Rocky, for the last time. Why is it impossible, Weary,
• 23:19
  because she couldn't be reached by phone? You know, because right now
• 23:22
  she's downstairs in the lobby of this hotel. Don't listen to him, Rocky.
• 23:26
  Can't you see what he's trying to do? Can you prove what you
• 23:27
  said? Weary? Go see for yourself. Only take a minute. Say
• 23:32
  where you are, Rocky. He asked a lot of questions. Moody,
• 23:36
  you didn't answer it. I don't have to answer to him. Well,
• 23:37
  then answer me. That's your attitude. Here's your answer. He drop your
• 23:42
  gun, Rocky, sitting there with a gun in your hand, you let
• 23:45
  him beat you to the drawer. I didn't think I had drop that gun.
• 23:48
  Sure, Moody, like, so you a fool making me do that?
• 23:56
  People will be coming, that's right, Moody. Well you can stop
• 23:57
  bloating wearing. That means I've got to take care of you right now.
• 24:00
  Well, Moody, at least give me time. But how did you Rocky
• 24:04
  was a full bat, a complete fool. Now I'll take the gun.
• 24:07
  No, you don't know right, and I'll do this, say Corbett.
• 24:26
  Moody didn't know my hands were untired, and that gave me a chance to
• 24:29
  jump him. I mean, you talked Rocky into switching to your side wearing
• 24:33
  Well, not entirely, but I had him worried. So he untied me
• 24:37
  and sat behind me with a gun in his hand. He wanted to see
• 24:41
  which way the cards lay, and he was ready to play either side.
• 24:44
  Ah, But when he found out that Moody was double crossing him, he
• 24:47
  was too slow in the drawer. Oh, by the way, now that
• 24:51
  you've got Moody, did you get him to talk? Yeah? Yeah,
• 24:52
  he signed a statement. Good. I was guessing at his double cross.
• 24:56
  Did he fill in the details? Yeah, you were right. About it.
• 25:00
  I'm not calling the girl. He just wanted Rocky to go out asking
• 25:03
  for in order to establish the connection Rocky, because if anything happened to either
• 25:07
  one, the other would be blamed. Right. Well, one thing you
• 25:11
  got to say to the Moody. He's a guy who went all out and
• 25:15
  you were overlooking him from my little dope like Conrad who says I was overlooking
• 25:19
  him. Don't come now, Corbett. I try to see the Moody,
• 25:22
  but you couldn't see it. Sure, I got rocks in my head.
• 25:26
  Well, now that you mentioned wearing Corbett, who did all the legwork tracking
• 25:30
  down Moody, who got last sowed by a thug and nearly wound up with
• 25:34
  a bullet and his insides, Who are you trying to prove? Who's sitting
• 25:37
  across the table from me right now, the shiner the size of a grapefruit,
• 25:41
  which he got risking life and limb disarming a desperate killer who he has
• 25:45
  to turn over to me when he gets some disarmed. Well, all the
• 25:49
  time, dope be me. Can't think of anything but rest my feet in
• 25:52
  my desk and wonder what to do. And I'll wait him there wearing I
• 25:56
  got rocks in my head. You're the smart boy. You know something that
• 26:00
  suits me? Just fine? Care I genius. This is Mike Wearing friends
• 26:15
