• 4:05
  Speaker 9: Worse you weren't calling you, mister Mayor that night up

  Speaker 3: Simon, my wife, my dear, this is Simon Templar.
• 4:13
  Speaker 9: Oh old, pray exactly, Simon my wife, Prudence, how do
• 4:18
  Speaker 9: you do?
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Married?
• 4:19
  Speaker 9: Five years now since you and I last saw each other. Temple,
• 4:21
  Speaker 9: Sit down, Sit down, my dear. Business. I told you,
• 4:28
  Speaker 9: my dear, there's nothing to worry about.
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: I can't help it.
• 4:32
  Speaker 9: I sometimes wonder, Prudence, if you would be as worried
• 4:34
  Speaker 9: about me if I stayed away a few days.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: You wouldn't stay away a few days. Russell good Nights.
• 4:47
  Speaker 9: City has a very beautiful first lady, mister, as you see, Templar,
• 4:51
  Speaker 9: I haven't told her about.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Bill the Favorite. Her reaction would be, well, the.
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: Reason we sent for your Templar is that the Mayor's
• 4:59
  Speaker 8: sun has been being held a prisoner, you might say,
• 5:02
  Speaker 8: a political prisoner.
• 5:03
  Speaker 9: By whom Packy Flynn, all those who worked for him.
• 5:06
  Speaker 9: I didn't know Flynn was that crude. What's his angle?
• 5:09
  Speaker 9: It's not crude at all, Temper.
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: As you know, the mayor has been forced into this
• 5:13
  Speaker 8: special election by false charges of graft and tie.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Ins with gangsters.
• 5:18
  Speaker 8: Flynn's candidate, Wickersham, has made this the main theme of
• 5:20
  Speaker 8: his campaign and he's making serious inroads.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: And I haven't been able to reply because they're holding Bill.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: It's horrible. Bill is the price of silence?
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: Exactly if we reply to the opposition's charges by showing
• 5:33
  Speaker 8: his link with Packy Flynn, the head of organized crime
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: in the city, for Bill might be well.
• 5:38
  Speaker 9: When I think of that hypocrit Wisham accusing me of
• 5:41
  Speaker 9: corruption when all the time he is in the camp
• 5:44
  Speaker 9: of corruption seeking the layer's avarice's.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Hands on the public.
• 5:46
  Speaker 9: Christee, whose funds most inevitably my friends come from the pockets,
• 5:50
  Speaker 9: are simple, honest, working folk like those of you who tonight.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Well, let's neither How long is this bill being gone?
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Four days and the election is only two days off.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Have you reported this to the police.
• 6:02
  Speaker 9: Unfortunately, Templar, it has lately come to my attention that
• 6:06
  Speaker 9: my own police force is not entirely trustworthy. Corrupting hand
• 6:10
  Speaker 9: of petty Flynn has touched that. Also after the election,
• 6:14
  Speaker 9: I fully intend well, providing that I am re elected.
• 6:17
  Speaker 9: Of course, also our templar.
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: A clumsy handling of this thing might be extremely dangerous for.
• 6:23
  Speaker 9: The exactly I am prepared to pay the price of
• 6:25
  Speaker 9: silence about Flynn Wickersherton if necessary.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: But the boy is the important thing.
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: How does Flynn figure I'm getting away with this? What
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: happens after the election. He's gambling that I won't be
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: elected the quickish human power. Any charges we might make
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: would have little chance of success.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I get the idea, and you want me to find Bill.
• 6:42
  Speaker 9: If possible, I should be everlasting, the great. My gratitude
• 6:46
  Speaker 9: is another thing to be taken lightly silent.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: I'll do my best. How is Bill now in years
• 6:54
  Speaker 6: twenty four?
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Find it templar?
• 6:57
  Speaker 9: When organized gangsterism wax is so bold. This is not
• 7:00
  Speaker 9: the America I know and love. And this is not
• 7:02
  Speaker 9: the America that those hardy pilgrims landing on that rocky
• 7:06
  Speaker 9: spray swept coast so many years ago envisioned in shining
• 7:10
  Speaker 9: imagery as.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Well. Let's let's neither here nor there. Find my boy, templar.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: I'll do my best in tom.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Rockets. You brought alone company, mister Bline. Mister Glynn is

• 8:15
  Speaker 4: have me on your conscience when you didn't show up,

  Speaker 3: You make a pointless decisions moving Thursday, and then one
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: day they've grown up. That's strangers. The Bill would have
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: made a great competition if it wasn't that. The making

  Speaker 3: is work. Yeah, I remember his great school graduation. Oh

  Speaker 3: this time Colonius's advice to the.

  Speaker 8: Well, you can understand how he feels. But he's never

  Speaker 8: be here.
• 22:21
  Speaker 11: Well, mister Templar from the Clean Government League, these were
• 22:25
  Speaker 11: the election mister Templar.
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: Hello, Packy as your head bust the house lust I
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: looked it up to smooth. I took advantage of you.
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: What are you here for, Packy am to celebrate?
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: What else?
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: Inspite of backing Wickersham, I backed both candidates.
• 22:40
  Speaker 9: That's the safest way. But I backed Towers with more money. Interesting,
• 22:46
  Speaker 9: that's not what you told me, Finley, I didn't.
• 22:49
  Speaker 8: Well, what Packy Flynn does with his money is his
• 22:51
  Speaker 8: own business. He doesn't always consult me before he does it.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: I see.
• 22:55
  Speaker 9: Well, good evening, gentlemen, Templar, Packys, congratulations miss the mayor.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: It's a landslide.
• 23:01
  Speaker 9: Well, it's always a good feeling to receive a mandate
• 23:03
  Speaker 9: from the electorate, for in the long run, it is
• 23:05
  Speaker 9: the people who will affirm or deny the truth of
• 23:07
  Speaker 9: the principles that I is.
• 23:10
  Speaker 6: Well.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Some of the time you.
• 23:12
  Speaker 11: Heard about Bill Becket. Neighbors haven't cared it yet, but
• 23:15
  Speaker 11: I heard tough.
• 23:17
  Speaker 9: I asked the papers cooperating to left the election time
• 23:20
  Speaker 9: enough then to look into the boy's motives for doing
• 23:23
  Speaker 9: what he did. Finley, have you found prudence yet? You know,
• 23:27
  Speaker 9: mister man, have you seen attempt? I haven't now as well,
• 23:30
  Speaker 9: she'll she'll be long, she'll, she'll be long. Was there
• 23:34
  Speaker 9: anything you want to temper? Just to be in on
• 23:36
  Speaker 9: the celebration the rest of the family, Well, oh said,
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: do we have a bottle for Lee? I don't feel
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: much like it. Prudence, my dear, where have you been?
• 23:46
  Speaker 9: I wanted you to be with me today.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: I needed you?
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: Is honor the mayor shut down, my dear.
• 23:52
  Speaker 13: I'd rather stand victory celebration another glorious mandate from the people.
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: Give him the grand.
• 23:59
  Speaker 13: Choice between two thieves. They chose the one with the
• 24:02
  Speaker 13: most experienced kruts.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: I think you'd better leave tempers will I don't think so.
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: I think it's fair that the people have at least
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: one representative presence him.
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: You may not be quite as stupid as I thought,
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: or as they thought, for as they thought I was.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Who has been talking to you? Bill?
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: Last night?
• 24:21
  Speaker 13: He called me and I went to his apartment and
• 24:23
  Speaker 13: that's the first time. If that's what you're thinking, mister.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Mayor, let her talk. Thank you, Son, I'm interested in myself.
• 24:30
  Speaker 13: Thank you too, Patty. You know why you were brought
• 24:34
  Speaker 13: in on this lovely affair.
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: Son.
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: I'm putting two and two together expensively to find Bill,
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: who was kidnapped by you, Patty.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: That's interesting, isn't it, mister Mayor.
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: But he wasn't held as a hostage for your silence,
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: mister Mayor. He was held until after the election because
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: he had found out things about his father and Patty Flynn,
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: his fine, honorable father.
• 24:55
  Speaker 9: He was threatening to go to the voters with it,
• 24:57
  Speaker 9: but it was just until after the election. After then
• 25:00
  Speaker 9: I could have persuaded him. He wouldn't have said anything.
• 25:02
  Speaker 9: Then I could have reasoned.
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: Widow a little parental resplaints until then, and if he
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: talked later on, I was your protection. Flynn was the villain,
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: and I was looking for Bill on your behalf. Only
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: I wasn't supposed to find him. Or maybe if Bill
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: talked too much, you would have tried to throw Flynn
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: to the wolves, using me as evident.
• 25:21
  Speaker 9: No, no, no, Katy, that wasn't it saying only I
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: found Bill.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: That's a disrupted thing.
• 25:27
  Speaker 9: You got to understand, Temple that when you're in politics,
• 25:30
  Speaker 9: You've got to make deals. You know that why everybody.
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: Makes steals a dig. It's just business, sus you. I
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: understand that Bill didn't.
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: No, Bill didn't. He never would.
• 25:40
  Speaker 13: He taught the poor, dumb, long suffering voters to pay
• 25:43
  Speaker 13: the bills, should have more for their money than the
• 25:45
  Speaker 13: choice between two thieves, and he was going to say
• 25:47
  Speaker 13: that they got it.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Prudence. We can talk later about why Bill, why he
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: did what he did, why.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: He killed himself. Do you think he killed himself, Simon, No, Templar,
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: He didn't. When I talked to him last night, he
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: was alive. He knew what he had to do, and
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: he wanted to live.
• 26:05
  Speaker 11: Well, not mean, not Packy Flynn, good people. I stopped them.
• 26:09
  Speaker 11: I was with dollar bills, much cheaper in the long run,
• 26:11
  Speaker 11: and just as sure, which couldn't stop bills.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Now, said Joe. But then he wasn't a politician.
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: Buster. I trust you have a good alibi for last night. Well,
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: give me time and I can go one right. I
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: think you'll need it. Bill wouldn't have let you into
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: his apartment. He was killed by someone he knew. There
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: was a good act you put on this morning there
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: which she knew last night that I found Bill Well,
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: Packy would have called you right away.
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: Oh dudes, you.
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: Can't know, not you, mister Mayor. You sent someone to
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: reason with Bill, your hatchet man, Jade Chasetein. You're very
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: careful what you're saying, temper.
• 26:50
  Speaker 9: I try to be viny. Your reasoning didn't work. Bill
• 26:54
  Speaker 9: probably ordered you out with his gun. There was a fight,
• 26:57
  Speaker 9: and you stopped him, then rigged it to look like.
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: It's your word against mine and the Mayor's. Finley's right.
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: Your accusations are not only in bad taste.
• 27:06
  Speaker 13: There also you you your honor than me.
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: You killed him.
• 27:12
  Speaker 13: Maybe Sindy pulled the trigger, but it was you who
• 27:14
  Speaker 13: killed him.
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: Killed him with the years.
• 27:17
  Speaker 13: Of mis blest, of hypocrisy, of building up an idol
• 27:19
  Speaker 13: of the people, and then when he found out, you
• 27:21
  Speaker 13: delivered him into.
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: The hands of thugs.
• 27:24
  Speaker 13: You stood aside in that thinley murder him, and now
• 27:26
  Speaker 13: you're back in Finland.
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: Sent a ton you did.
• 27:33
  Speaker 9: Maybe it was advised me not to turn the Finley
• 27:35
  Speaker 9: over to the police immediately, but Towers, you're throwing me
• 27:38
  Speaker 9: to the wolves. Well, after all, while I don't doubt
• 27:41
  Speaker 9: that it was or might have been unintentional on your path?
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Why, very well done.
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: This will all come out. It's really a matter of
• 27:53
  Speaker 9: adjusting ourselves. This guy I never explained about politics before
• 27:57
  Speaker 9: because I didn't think it was necessary.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Maybe if we go away for a while week, Look,
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: tarsh I'll talk to you later later.
• 28:09
  Speaker 11: Looks likely better hand up a fresh marror for ourselves. Buster, Yeah,
• 28:15
  Speaker 11: you're pretty sure you can buy up another one.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: In the open market. Huh.
• 28:18
  Speaker 11: I think there's a lot more where this one came from, Saint,
• 28:21
  Speaker 11: and the money is right in my hippos.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: How about the voting? The voting? Who were they?
• 28:30
  Speaker 6: Voters of people? The people eventually catch up with you.

  Speaker 1: Welcome Back Well, an excellent performance by John Brown as
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: the Mayor, one of those really great radio actors, probably
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: best known for Plane Broadway on the Damon Runy in
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Theater and also playing Digger O'Dell on the Life of Riley,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: and he played that role over television as well, and
