  Speaker 3: Reading flung Hollywood ladies and gentlemen. In our play tonight,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: we take you on a trail of intrigue and suspense
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: that circles the globe. J Richard Kennedy wrote the story
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: and screenplay of To the Ends of the Earth, and
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: we have the same stars you saw in the Columbia
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Fixtures release, Dick Powell and Signey Hassel. At one time
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: or another in my travels, I think I have visited
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: most of the fascinating and exotic places of Tonight's exciting story.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: And there's one thing.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: I can assure you you'll find everywhere lux Flakes, proof
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: enough that lux Flakes had made a hit not just
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: with the American Housewife, but in Saigon and Singapore and
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: To the Ends of the Earth. Here's the first act
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: of our play, starting Dick Powell as Mike and so
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: as Anne gragged.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: The United States Department of Treasury. To most of us,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: that means the place that makes.
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: The money that green stuff we scramble to get. And
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: then give back so cheerfully. But the Treasury departments a
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: lot more than that. It's the Coastguard, Secret Service, Alcohol
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: Tax Unit, Narcotics.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: That's where I work narcotics.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: My name, by the way, is Michael Barrows, and I
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: work out of the San Francisco office.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: And this is the story.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: Of how I learned about an innocent, pretty little flower.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: The poppy, it's not the kind of poppy you've seen.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: After this one blooms and the petals fall, the pod
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: is ripe. When you bleed that pod, and the liquid
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: that oozes out is processed. The finished product is opium.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: One day before the war, my assistant Harry Hart brought
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: in the teletype from my boss in Washington, Commissioner Anslinger.
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: She's as a ship Mike a braider, and trying to
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: make a landing along the South American coast. Well, what ship,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: no name of markings thing driven north and spotted off
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Peru in Mexico. My trapper landing around here to refuel
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: or something. Okay, I'll contact the coast.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: Guard, just a routine check, but I thought i'd tag
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: along when two days later the Coastguard spotted the freighter.
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: Must have been hiding in one of the island coves
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: and now was making a run sea.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: She was still in our twelve mile limit.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: If she could get out, she'd be protected by international law.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: The captain signaled her to stop. She's caught our seno barrels,
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: but she's putting on more sea. Oh a headress Ruddem's
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: fire one over the ball.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: The shot didn't face her. We kept on her tail,
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: acting like we meant to board her and see.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: What the bluff would do. She was passed a twelve
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: mile limit.
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: Now I was alone at the rail, trying to pick
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: up something through the binoculars. Suddenly I saw a scramble
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: on the deck, the crew and about one hundred men.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: What happened then was almost impossible to believe. They were
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: pushing those hundred men overboard, and men were chained again,
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: dropping into the sea and disappearing.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: It was all over less than that. I told the
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: skipper what I'd seen. I asked him to catch up
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: with her, at least let me get a better look.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: The deck was now empty, just the captain on the bridge,
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: a face I'd never forget.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Then we turned back and circled the spider where I've
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: seen the men go down and out of the water.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Came the only piece of evidence that said I hadn't
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: dreamed the whole thing. A life preserver. It told me
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: that the ship was the Kira Maru out of Shanghai.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Six days later I was in Shanghai the office of
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: the Japanese company.
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: Almost shocking story, mister Bouts, But unfortunately we have no
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: record of a Japanese ship named Kira Mru.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: You'll believe what I've told you.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: It is strange that you alone should see one hundred
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: men murdered.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Petilla Maroon was too far off. I saw what happened
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: with the binoculars. Your word is good enough, mister Badows.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: We would take action against the captain of the Kiro Maru.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: So they brought him to trial.
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: He wasn't there to defend himself, of course, and they
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: couldn't be sure that such a man even existed.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: But they passed.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: And this is for having carefully considered the testimony. Finds
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: that if a not guilty and sentences him to a prison.
• 6:23
  Speaker 7: Term of thirty.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Days, thirty days in America, that's what you get for
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: reakfast driving.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Such sentence to be carried out when and if the
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Accusday's apprehended.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Thank you, mister Varrows. That is all.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: I came to a slinger that I was licked and
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: coming home. I was in the hotel packing my bag
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: when I had a visitor, a Chinese.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: I saw you in court, mister Varrows. I followed your
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: story with great interest. Hi. Who are you one who
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: has always.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Thought that the climate in parts of South America was
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: admirably suited to the growing of the opium puppy? The
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: men you saw murdered were slaves intended for such work.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Slaves? Huh? You would recognize that captain again as you
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: saw him. I would.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Three days ago a Japanese captain was landed here illegally
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: from a fishing boat. Why would such a man take
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: employment here in Shanghai as a rich runner?
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Where would I find him? And we'll get to that,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: mister Donalds.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: These slaves you say you saw six months ago in Egypt,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: a Chinese coolie escaped from a ship called.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: The Kila Naru.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Before he died, he gave some information to a British
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: gentleman named Hedley.
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: Look if you know anything about that captain, I also
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: make interest you.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: The Cooley told mister Hadley that he was one of
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: two hundred slaves brought to Egypt to plant a large
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: field of puppies where for whom he did not know,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: but he mentioned their name.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Hawks, Jean hawks.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: The slaves said gene hawks was a sign a coat,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: maybe a man, maybe a woman, maybe an organization. He
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: also said that the harvest of that puppy field would
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: be sent here to Shanghai or refining.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: This man Hadley, who is he? The British narcutage commissioner
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: in Carol? Oh this official information? How did you get it?
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: I think this will answer all questions. This cablegram if
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: arrived at my office, But it's for you, some washing pat.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: You are talking to lum Chi Cha Chinese Commissioner of Narcotics.
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: You rush to Shanghai a little them possibly, but you
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: may stay to do yourself some good Answlinger.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: You see, I too, had cabled mister Anstick. Glad to
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: know your commissioner.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Now about Egypt. Two hundred slaves plant a puppy field.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Six months later you count one hundred off the California Code.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Certain facts begin to come together. Only one hundred would
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: be needed to harvest the crop. The others were loaded
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: back on the kiln roof for South America.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: What's that got to do with the man you were
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: going to help me find?
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: If that rickshaw runner is the captain of the Kiram Roo,
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: he's the only link I have between Egypt and the.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: Refining of that opium here in Shanghai.
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: Oh why let the stuff get here? Why not round
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: it up in Egypt before it harvested?
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: The British and Egyptians have been searching for months, and you're.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: Expecting raw opium from puppies they can't find to show
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: up here and very soon?
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: How do you know from the puppies grown there legally
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: for medicinal purposes franted about the same time in Egypt,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: the harvest must be completed within.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: Five days or they pass. Will run a.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: Puppy field that no one can find. A story from
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: a dying coolie slave.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: You expect me to swallow that I swallowed the hundred
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: slaves going overboard in chains off the California court.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: Oh okay, Commissioner. Now suppose I see that rickshaw runner.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: And not until you agree to take others from me.
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'm sorry. I only worked on cases when I believe.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: In them, I will compromise for just five days, pretend
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: to believe and follow my orders.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: After five days, the case is finished or there is
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: no case.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: At that time, the Japanese ship Captain becomes your private property.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Okay, okay. Where did we start? At?
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: A soccing home, the largest rickshaw station in the city.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: It is owned by Nicholas Soki.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: Let me tell you how about the.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: Next morning I call on Nicholas Sokin. Here in America,
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: if you want to go somewhere, you call a taxi.
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: In Shanghai, you call a rickshaw a spig business. I
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: told mister Sokine that my name was Brett and I
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: was in the rock business. That I was looking for
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: a Japanese.

  Speaker 5: I was about to leave when a young woman walked up,
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: good looking.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Well dressed, holding onto her hand was a Chinese girl.
• 10:47

  Speaker 5: was sure I'd never hear from him again. I was

  Speaker 5: It was easy following him. He led me straight back

• 13:59
  Speaker 4: A few weeks ago. Oh, I see Chupin. Huh. Well
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: that's a nice name. Huh. I think I'll just call

  Speaker 5: Well, what little I learned went under my pocket notebook.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: I couldn't risk remembering every minor detail, and minor details
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: might prove very important. Our last stop for the day
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: was at the temple. When we came out, it didn't
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: seem too unusual that the wheel of my witch Shaw
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: should break down, or that Shannon himself should offer to
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: walk me back to the hotel.
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: Tell me, mister Bran, didn't you lose something this afternoon?
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: This is yours, isn't it this notebook?
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Oh? Yes, yes it is. What did you say your
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: business is? Or in the rug?
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: Hmm, stranger make these notes about my guests? Or are
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: you really a census taker?
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: I have no idea. Let's get back to the street,
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: and we will save a lot of time down this alley. Now,
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: what did you want those names for?
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: It?
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Talk past Minster? Who are you now?
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: Before you get tough, mister Shall listen, you've been caught
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: before this time. You'll do five years unless you talk
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: about what a ship named the Killer Maroon.
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: I don't know what you're talking about, but I know
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: who you are, and I'm not gonna.
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Let you in a podcast. They have peered out of nowhere,
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: eight of four Kay's little helpers. When I came to
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: I was lying on a dock at the waterfront. It
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: was almost dark. Bending over me was a King's assistant,
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: Mister Greed.
• 15:58
  Speaker 11: You'll be all right, mister Britt, Oh great, you're a
• 16:02
  Speaker 11: very lucky man. Mister Sukeem had a hunch this might happen.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Oh what did happen?
• 16:07
  Speaker 11: Shannon was going to kid you. I followed him here,
• 16:11
  Speaker 11: but he resisted. Well, Shannon's dead.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: Yes, he was wearing this belt.
• 16:18
  Speaker 11: It's unrefined opium.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Mister ZC. King knew he had it somewhere.
• 16:25
  Speaker 11: How he called on mister Sakim before your tour started, missus,
• 16:29
  Speaker 11: A king told him he had no interest in smuggling narcotics.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Than what Shannon said.
• 16:34
  Speaker 11: This ship it was perfectly safe, straight off a Japanese boat.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: Did he say where it was grown? I believe he
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: mentioned Egypt Square in each of all.
• 16:44
  Speaker 11: I don't know, sir, I have to reveal, mister Brenton.
• 16:48
  Speaker 11: If that's I'd better take it your account.
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: And if you don't mind, I'd like to stop at
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: a friends first, mister Lum, twenty five Peacock Lane.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Perhaps i'd better wait for you in the cars. No,
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: I'd like you to meet, mister Lum and you can
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: start telling me.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: The truth, all right, I don't understand, or maybe this
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: will help you understand. Misters hello, Lam, you better give
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: me a hand, all right.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: Greek and not get up and go ahead. Had a
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: very interesting tour, so I could see you would hit me.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Why why here's mister why?
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: Well, listen to this. I tangled with Shannon this afternoon
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: was not cold, walk up miles away on the river.
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: Shannon's dead at least, mister Greek says so that much.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: I believe mister greeg under so Keem's orders saved my life.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: Mister Sokin did more. Yeah, take a look at this well,
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: OpEM Greek says he found it on Shannon. Opium from
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: the Kira Marou from Egypt. That's what Shannon said. You
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: heard him say it, well, did you? Yes, you're a liar.
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: The opium couldn't have been from Easy because poppies can't
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: be harvested until a pedal's fall, and they fall this
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: week today.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: Maybe the opium we're looking for is still in Egypt.
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: Shannon's got that from the Japanese captain. He got nothing
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: from the Japanese captain. Soakin told the captain to lead
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: me to the hotel yesterde.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: I was supposed to hear him say, mister Shannon's room please.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: That was to throw me off.
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: Depends suspicion on Shannon. And then mister Sokeem saves my life,
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: throws me some narcotics.
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: It could have been Shannon's or anybody. Then you think
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: mister Sokeem is interested in narcotic He's got to be.
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: And ten to one, that refining equipment you're looking for
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: is somewhere in Soakim's Reckshaw stations.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: I'll phone the police. They can take up mister greg
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: I ask Captain Sego and later.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: We'll raise Sokme's takes later. Why not now? Because first
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: I want to know more of what happened today. This way,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: mister Greek, Well that's about it. Lam. Here you have
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: the names of everyone in the party.
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: It will be well to question them all except missus Graham.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: I told you that Shannon's tour is leaving Shanghai, but
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: Missus Grant is staying.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Do that means she couldn't be tied up with.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Him, but she could be tied up with Sokim waiting
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: to arrive.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: At the Opium from Egypt.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: Then, if she's half as smart as you think she is,
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: she won't talk. You'll get nothing out of her. But
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: I think I can through the Chinese girl.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Good. Now about Sokim's place, you're ready to raid it?
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: Yes, now, I am ready. While that's going on, have
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: the police pick up Missus Grant. Be sure they leave
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: Chupin in the hotel.
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: You are not coming with me on today, No, I
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: think I'll learn more in the hotel with Chupin before
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: we bring her. At two to the Ends of the Earth.
• 19:48

• 20:15
  Speaker 10: for the picture's premiere on the twenty sixth.
• 20:18
  Speaker 9: She plays the daughter of the president of the university.

  Speaker 10: Her wardrobe, for it happens every spring, includes lots of
• 20:32
  Speaker 10: lovely blouses for her suits, and of course separate slaters
• 20:36
  Speaker 10: and skirts.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: Sounds like a luxible wardrobe, it is.
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: And so true to college life.
• 20:42
  Speaker 10: Lux flakes are as popular on college campuses as they
• 20:45

• 21:13
  Speaker 7: are the rule for everything safe in water, loans, blouses, sweaters,
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: nice cottons, and washable prints.
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: An easy way for any woman to keep things fresh

• 21:58
  Speaker 5: While a lum and the police were rating Jean's rickshaw
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: station and Missus Grant was being held at headquarters for questioning.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: I went to her room to the hotel. The Chinese
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: girl from pan opened the door. Oh wow, hello, Bressus
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: is Missus Grant in?
• 22:14
  Speaker 9: She went out. She was very upset.
• 22:16
  Speaker 12: The tour is not saying to America.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: Yes, I heard about that.
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: I thought I could help you get to San Francisco
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: some other way.
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: I oh, I bet you've known missus Grant a long time? Huh?
• 22:26
  Speaker 12: Only a year, mister Gregg. She was my governor's back
• 22:29
  Speaker 12: home and panion after her husband died.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: Oh that's too bad.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: I suppose mister Grant was a teacher or a missionary
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: an engineer.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: You were married in America, Missus Brandon's to tell me
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: all about her? Oh? Hello, Missus Grant, I was just.
• 22:44
  Speaker 9: Talking to Penn.
• 22:45
  Speaker 10: I'm sorry, dear, but I forgot to stop in the lobby.
• 22:48
  Speaker 9: Would you see if there.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: As any name? Please?
• 22:49
  Speaker 9: Yes, of course, Thank you dear. And now, mister Brant,
• 22:55
  Speaker 9: what are you doing here?
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: Weren't you called at the police station about channel Why?
• 22:58
  Speaker 10: Yes, they said, back here to get my papers.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: Well, I knew shoe panels alone. I thought I could
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: cheer up a little strange kid. She can't be more
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: than thirteen or fourteen yet time, well.
• 23:10
  Speaker 10: At times she looks much older. Yes, that's what deaths
• 23:15
  Speaker 10: and bonds will do to your child.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: Suppose I could help you, Missus Grant. How about two
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: tickets on a clipper?
• 23:21
  Speaker 9: Stay kind of you, but I'm not going to America.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: You want to stay in China? Yes, I do. Well,
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: I guess you have your reason.
• 23:28
  Speaker 10: The children of this country have the right to live.
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: You're kind of young to bury yourself in pani end.
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: What else did Suepan tell you, mister Ben Something about
• 23:38
  Speaker 10: my husband?
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: Perhaps she mentioned him, Yes, he was.
• 23:42
  Speaker 10: Killed by Japanese boonds by doing a job for China.
• 23:45
  Speaker 10: I intend to finish that job as best.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: I can, and i'd go back home and tell Americans
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: about China, raise barrels of money for thousands of shoe pounds.
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: Or maybe there's something else you don't want to talk
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: about it.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: What makes you think because of shoe Pan means to
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: you what you say. She does, that's the point.
• 24:03
  Speaker 9: She doesn't And as soon as she realized, hello, it's rather.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: Important, schedule conforms mister Brett. That is I finish. I'll
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: be right over.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: Oh that was those people who sent for you, missus Grant,
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: And while i'm there, I'll try to make some arrangements.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: I'm sure everything's going to be all right. Thank you.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: We made a good guess about sokeem. Upstairs, over the
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: shed where the rickshaw drivers.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: Lived was equipment enough to refine half the opium in Asia.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: Only mister so Kim wasn't there to tell us about it.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: He swallowed poison. Mister so Kim was dead. So actually
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: we have learned very little. Mister prebrows, he died before
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: I could question him.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: Oh, we should never have moved in on him. We
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: should have waited until the opium from Egypt arrived.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: Once you knocked mister big down, there was little else
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: we could do. Oh, I know I made a bad mistake.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: Well my time, I've made a few myself. So Kim
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: is afraid, afraid of what mister bellows.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: For years, there's been an organization in China operating in drugs,
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: backed by the Japanese High Command. Why because drugs either
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: way of people's will to resist and conquests becomes easy
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: in the brains of this organization, citizens of all nations,
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: the Latic and Soukims who believe in conquests, the generates
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: who can be bought to do this fealthy work for
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: the Japanese High Command.
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: But let someone fail. So Kim failed suicide. So Kim's
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: death will warn the others that raw opium will never
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: come here.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Now, I am sending so Kim's papers to Cairo immediately
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: at their possibility.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: They will yet find the puppy field. It is my
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: hope that you will take them.
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: Oh, I'm sorry, Lama. I know it was my blunder
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: that finished the case here, but it is what about
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: Missus Grant.
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: For a year and a half before coming to China,
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: she was in Egypt, daus and dates on her passport
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: need no note of it.
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: Look look now, any decision on my going to Egypt
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: would have to be made by my boss.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: Mister Anstinger and I have exchanged several messages. He's quite
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: willing that you should call one step ahead of me,
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: right down the line. Excuss. Yes, Missus Catan sing, We
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: have just released Missus Grant. Thank you. She wishes to
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: leave at once for San Francisco, which should pine one
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: moment please. Missus Grant wishes to go to San Francisco.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: She told you that she told me she was staying
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: in China. Well let her go. Our men they're gonna
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: watch other moments she lands. We think she should go.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: Captain I was met in Cairo by the Egyptian and
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: British Narcotics commissioners. I'm a Hassam and Lyle Hadley. Hassam
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: went to work on Skin's papers while Hadley broke the
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: unhappy news that this was the last day of the
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: poppy hiters. All he was sure was the room.
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: You would take what it left, pigypt Take a look
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: at the map, mister Barrows. We know that poppy field
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: this summer in this area. If so, the only logical
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: way out of Egypt with the raw opium would be across.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: The Show's canal. And the nearest crossing of the canal
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: is here. And if all the harvest hasn't been mood,
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: what's left will go tonight?
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: I'm afraid. So did you check on missus Grant? She
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: and her husband left Cairo ten months ago. No record
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: of where they went.
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 27:24
  Speaker 13: Alexander Sukin's papers one lonely clue, gentleman, this letter and
• 27:29
  Speaker 13: other contents.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: But the handwriting, what about it? Hazam?
• 27:32
  Speaker 13: It's written in English, but the men who wrote this
• 27:34
  Speaker 13: letter first learned to write in Arabic. There's certain characteristics.
• 27:38
  Speaker 13: I examined the paper itself made in France. French paper
• 27:42
  Speaker 13: isn't sold in Egypt, but it is sold.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: In the French Manday. It's such as Lebanon.
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: But I thought the proper field was in Egypt. What
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: does Lebanon come in Lebanites. We have many wealthy Lebanites
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: with the states in Egypt, especially in the suspected area.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: Suppose to run the film again? Why not? We have
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: notion victors of some of the Lebanon the states. Mister Barrows,
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: let's look the moon. This is the last three of
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: mister Barrows. The estate you're looking at now belongs to
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: Ali Yusuf.
• 28:11
  Speaker 13: Ten acres of roses grown for perfume.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: What kind of roses? They don't look like much from
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: the air rosas actor, probably your rose fencia. No I
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: certainly am. I'd like to get the cutting of that
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: roses act to the take home of me. This next
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: estate belongs to Jaffa Pasha. Maize and cotton easily identified.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: And now we moved to the uplands. Uplands, how do
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: they get the water tight over from the nile drawn
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: up by pumps? That's a bit of engineering.
• 28:38
  Speaker 13: And now this state is at the edge of the
• 28:40
  Speaker 13: Bayadea plateau, the property of beIN the Shah thirty acres
• 28:44
  Speaker 13: of roses for perfume.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: Artificial irrigation. A very modern job was done up there
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: about two years ago.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: You wouldn't remember that engineer's name. I'm afraid now cheer
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: up Barrows. Perhaps what we all need is a drink.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: How far is it to this Benda SHA's place? Oh?
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: Three hours, Sacka.
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: I'd like to have a specimen that rose. Bindershaw would
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: never let you go near the place. It's strictly against
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: Mars and love.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: That's why we had the photograph in the air. Why
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: couldn't I climb one of those cliffs? You're not serious?
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: Why not? Will?
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: Even if you didn't break your neck climbing binder Show
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: would break it for you when.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: You got to the top.
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: Oh, it'd be dark for the time I got there.
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: Mind if I borrow your car. Nothing could prevent Hapley
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: and Hassan from coming with me. They knew it was
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: more than a row I was after, and these were
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: the last desperate minutes of the last day.
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: They were ready to follow even this wild hunt of mine.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: But the irrigation system that bender shars had been installed
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: by an engineer named Grant. It was a clear knight.
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: Once at the top of the cliff, we saw the
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: almost endless line rows. We're getting too close to the house,
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: and lady dogs.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: With that a leave. We found exactly nothing what did
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: you expect to find?
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: I really know, but an engineer doesn't come all the
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: way from the United States just install a few pumps
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: for growing roses, unless he'll wait it else.
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: I had to take a look at that irrigated soil.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: It has just been cultivated too.
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: My hunch was leaping around like mad now, and then
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: all of a sudden, the almost unbelievable answer. There in
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: the earth almost covered a vattered stem that had been
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: holed under just a little while ago. Not a rose stem,
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: but a stubby one with a fallen pot at the end.
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: Stem of the opium poppy.
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: Poppy stems planted, grown and harvested under.
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: The rose bushes, the one that we couldn't detect anything
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: from the air well.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: Now we know how the opium might be going through
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: and perfume jars, cottons of rose petals. I should be
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: at the Swiss crossing telling my men what to look for.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: Suppose the last of the harvest is still here. Take
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: the kahasan, get to the crosser. What about you. I'll
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: keep looking here. I'll stay with you. That'll be at
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: the crossing in the thirty minutes. I'll since I'm ind
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: to watch for you. Here, take my gun. Well, let's go. Though,
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: we finally found what we were looking for, a vine
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: that held the entire secret in it, stupefied with opium,
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: or what remained the two hundred slaves brought to each
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: of six months before, and the cure marole.
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: Also in the vine where the vets where the gummy
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: juice of the poppy plant had been turned.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: Into raw opio. May I ask what you are doing here,
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: binda shaw. Yes, we've been learning about the harvest of
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: the opium potty. Your knowledge comes late. The harvest left
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: here an hour ago. I did not come alone. Gentlemen,
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: I am well protected. We didn't come alone either. Your
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: entire estate is surrounded. The best thing you can do
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: is the tennis where the opium is going. I have
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: completely forgotten. Order your men to put down their guns.
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: Up Popka all allow you.
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: The men lowered their guns and disappear. It seemed incredible
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: that then the Shah should surrender so readily. We ordered
• 32:04
  Speaker 5: him ahead of us and walked back toward the cliff.
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: Suddenly he started running straight for the cliff and over it,
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: a second fanatic like so Kim, paying with.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: His life for faith taking all information with him.
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: By midnight we were at the Suez crossing, only there
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: wasn't a sign of the opium. At dawn, Hassam's men
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: came back from then the Shaws.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: Where they searched the estate. Then the Shaw's.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: Private papers yielded nothing, But out of the pumphouse came
• 32:40
  Speaker 5: an interesting item, an engineer's log book.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: In the book was a snapshot. Well who is she
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: that us using to recognize him? Ah? Missus grant this
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: logbook belonged to her husband, that Hassam. This sounds exciting.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: That's not news, and I think I know where it
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: is now? Who is left is crossing tonight?
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: According to the customs men, no one's left here since
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: six o'clock yesterday afternoon.
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: About the camel driver, I told you about what you said.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: His camels weren't carrying no nothing on their backs. One
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: native driver ten camels headed for Beirroot, You said. A
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: camel driver said, the price of tamel heir and hides.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: Has just gone up.
• 33:15
  Speaker 13: He's taking them to a slaughter house.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: And what makes you? I just telephone beut.
• 33:19
  Speaker 8: Actually the price of camel hair and hides had gone down.
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: The driver was lying.
• 33:24
  Speaker 13: It is my opinion, the opium is inside the camels,
• 33:27
  Speaker 13: forced down their throats, and some sort of containers that
• 33:29
  Speaker 13: will be removed at the slaughter house in Bay Roads.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Fantastic, any more fantastic than poppety plants growing under roses.
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: I suggest we get to bearroot, gentlemen, and wait for
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: the camels. Padley put a couple of men on the
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: trail of the camel driver. We took over again. There
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: are the outskirts of Beirut, but this was French territory
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: and helping us now as a melarriciated the French nacatis cheap.
• 33:56
  Speaker 13: It is vital this year that the camel driver never
• 33:59
  Speaker 13: know that we susp How can we examine his camels
• 34:01
  Speaker 13: without his knowing? He will find hundreds of cameras at
• 34:04
  Speaker 13: the edge of the city and men from the Department
• 34:06
  Speaker 13: of Sanitation checking the beasts against disease, his ten camels
• 34:10
  Speaker 13: along with all the others. What he will not know
• 34:12
  Speaker 13: is that only his camels will be phluoroscopes. You get
• 34:15
  Speaker 13: suspicious undoubted.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: As a result, there will be no delay at the
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: slaughter house.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: Now, I suggest you wait at the hotel. I will
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: have the information you need sometime this afternoon. Well, Monsieur,
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: I can now report.
• 34:35
  Speaker 13: In the stomach of each camel were many metal cartridges.
• 34:38
  Speaker 13: You may be sure they contained the opium grown on
• 34:41
  Speaker 13: Bindeshah's estate, and estimated one hundred thousand dollars worth in
• 34:45
  Speaker 13: each piece, a million dollars.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: All told, where would the cameras state them?
• 34:48
  Speaker 13: To a slaughterhouse owned by a man named Agassiz. Forty
• 34:52
  Speaker 13: minutes ago it left the slaughter house for the ducks.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: It carried three bales for shipment. And let's get to
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: the ducks. We've got to know their destination.
• 34:59
  Speaker 13: One of my and already has that information. The first
• 35:02
  Speaker 13: bail went to a Mediterranean frata addressed to Monsieur il
• 35:05
  Speaker 13: Lexatau Athens, Greece.
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: Please.
• 35:07
  Speaker 13: The second, we'll go about a French ship bomb for
• 35:09
  Speaker 13: Marseille and someone named Dlier. The other bear went to
• 35:13
  Speaker 13: a Dutch freighter address to n. Brunch Data, Havana, Cuba.
• 35:18
  Speaker 13: We can be fairly sure, Monsieur, the million dollars worth
• 35:21
  Speaker 13: of opium is in one of those bales.
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: That night, at dinner, we celebrated the first solid clue
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: that might take us eventually to the leader of gene
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: Hawk's ring.
• 35:35
  Speaker 13: That more, Monsieur Bell went in Shanghai. You told me
• 35:38
  Speaker 13: before you would show me your photograph.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: Oh here you are Risier.
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: We found it in Grant's log But yes, yes, very beautiful,
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: intelligent too knew there are poppies growing at Denver Shahs,
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: much too intelligent to mention it.
• 35:53
  Speaker 14: And she is still in Shanghai.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, she's not.
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: Oh by the way, Oursier that you're sending to Havana tomorrow,
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: that's on my way home. I'd like to follow that
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: veil myself. Not a hunch Barrows, no had lee. This
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: time it's information. I had a cable today from my
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: office in San Francisco. Here read it, and Grant left
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: San Francisco a few hours after arrival.
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: Destination Havana, Cuba.
• 36:32
  Speaker 8: Pause now for station identification. This is CBS, the Columbia
• 36:36
  Speaker 8: Broadcasting System.
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: After a brief intonation, we'll continue with Act three of
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: To the Ends of the Earth. Our special guest tonight
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: is beautiful Lola. All right, Lola has just been handled
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: a new contract with Columbia Pictures, and.
• 37:10
  Speaker 12: So willed mister KILLI. I can hardly believe that you.
• 37:12
  Speaker 4: Only tell me to Columbia. You've been a very appupil.
• 37:15
  Speaker 12: Well, yes, I did study hard, but what I appreciated
• 37:18
  Speaker 12: most was the opportunity of going on sets. That's how
• 37:22
  Speaker 12: I happened to see that terrific earthquake scene for Lust
• 37:25
  Speaker 12: for Gold, and I certainly wasn't pressed.
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: Really great picture.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: Now Glenford does a remarkable job with an unusual characterization.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: There's something really different what he's done here before on
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: the screen.
• 37:36
  Speaker 12: I loved I the Lupino and the lovely costumes of
• 37:39
  Speaker 12: the eighties, and what a sizzling.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Performance has all those period costumes for Lust for Gold.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: They once have given the wardrobe people.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: A headache when they were on location in Arizona.
• 37:48
  Speaker 12: The wardrobe mistress mentioned that. But John Kennedy will be
• 37:52
  Speaker 12: interested to know that the company took along plenty of
• 37:55
  Speaker 12: locks of plates Miss Dupino's embroidered stockings as well as
• 37:59
  Speaker 12: her own eyeline beautifully a.
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: Matter of dollars in sents economy, Lola, I can believe that.
• 38:05
  Speaker 12: My own nyelons are washed with luck flakes and.
• 38:07
  Speaker 9: They last for ages.
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: You may not realize it, but that simple care is
• 38:11
  Speaker 8: giving you twice aware. If you were to use strong
• 38:14
  Speaker 8: soaps or rubbed nylons with cake soap, they would go
• 38:17
  Speaker 8: into runs a lot sooner.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: Stream tests proved.
• 38:20
  Speaker 12: That so luxtam is certainly easy, just about.
• 38:22
  Speaker 8: The easiest care in the world. These tiny diamonds burst
• 38:26
  Speaker 8: into SuDS. The instant water touches them, and in no
• 38:29
  Speaker 8: time at all, these thick rip SuDS makes stockings fresh
• 38:33
  Speaker 8: and trim fitting as ever, help protect the colors too.
• 38:37
  Speaker 8: Thank you for coming tonight, Lola. All right, here's your producer,
• 38:41
  Speaker 8: mister William Keeley.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: The curtain rises on the third act of To the
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Ends of the Earth, starting Dick Powell as Mike and
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: Senior hassl As and Gruns.
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: I am was sure that the containing the opium was
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: the bail being shipped to Cuba, or why was missus
• 39:04
  Speaker 5: Grant going there? That's what I told the narcotics Commissioner
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: in Havanah.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: I'll bet it to Barrago. It should not be difficult,
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: Senor Barrows. I will let you know where she is,
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: what she does, in whom she sees.
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: So one person she will be saying, I think is
• 39:16
  Speaker 5: a fellow named Brandstatter, You know.
• 39:17
  Speaker 13: Him, the manufacturer of ARTI supplies a belief brushes, things like.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: That getting the camel air for his brushes from the
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: Near East.
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: Only this shipment contains a million dollars but of unrefined opium. Well,
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: let him refine it, let him ship it out with
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: his artist supplies, and then then I pollwer it million
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: dollars worth of narcotiction.
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: All I do is help to see that he gets
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: safely away. A lot to ask, and yes, Senor elt
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: to ask.
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: Berrado worked past Before evening he told me that Anne
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: Grant had reached Havana with Supan. Two days later, the
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: Dutch freighter arrived and the bale of camel's hair was
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: now in Brand's status possession.
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: At night in my room, yes, where they've just book passage.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: You rash letter, missus Grant, and you bet Steve ship
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: Cardio for New York. The Cardio, Well, there's no ship
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: on port called the Cardio to ship tomorrow sales attune
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: the following day. I would have report soon on every
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: piece of free cheese taking aboard. Good see you here
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: in the morning. For twenty four hours with our paws,
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: Berrado and his men checked and rechecked the cargo of
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: the Cardio.
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: Absolutely nothing was being shipped by Brand Statu not a
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: ray of hope until three hours before sailing time, and
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: then some last minute cargo arrived on the dot part'st
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: supplies from and Van Stata addressed to a man named
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: Sharp Maiden Lane, New York. A ray of hope that
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: made no sense. There wasn't a chance the opium was
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: in those boxes. The most routine checkup and the New
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: York customs would reveal it. It was too late now
• 40:54
  Speaker 5: to do anything but let brands stat to get the
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: opium on board his own way and take our chances
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: of finding it.
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: Right Then a couple of worried men got lucky.
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: One of Burrado's lookouts on the dock came up a
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: report of a very ordinary incident. The truck which had
• 41:08
  Speaker 5: delivered the boxes of artists supplies had stalled on the board,
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: but the lookout at Nando had been curious, and.
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: When one of the men worked to remotor, a second
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: one was tearing the wrappings of some packages near backery trunk.
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: Where did it stole? Hernando?
• 41:21
  Speaker 8: Near the kitchen supplies being loaded on the ship, senre
• 41:24
  Speaker 8: cartoons of butter, And when the rappians came of gunstatus packages,
• 41:28
  Speaker 8: that's what they were three cartoons of butter, exactly.
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: Like the others. Now we were getting somewhere. Three cottons
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: of butter containing a million dollars worth of opium were
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: stored and the ship's refrigerator where one.
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: Of ranstatus men, a member of the kitchen crew, could
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: watch it carefully. An hour before standing time, we saw
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: them go aboard Missus Grant, Schupin and brand stadd. According
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: to plan, there would be a vacant cabin for me
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: on sea deck and waiting for me now posing as
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: a ship steward, was Lenando Lord.
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: What a senor.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: That refrigerator will be watched constantly from here to New York,
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: now by whom during nights by the baker, an old
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: friend of mine, during the day, the ship's butcher, and
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: the assistant ship.
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: Where's brands status cabin and the others. On the upper
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: day senor bed before dinner, Ernando had news for me, Frands,
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: that there is no longer an bide Senor. He complained
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: about his cabin. He's taking one right across the corridor
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: from you, and he knows I'm here. No, I don't
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: think so. He inquired about all the cabins. I merely
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: told him this one was vacant. I think he believed me.
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: He's at dinner now and I'm moving his lugs. Empty
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: cabins are board yet don't have locked doors. My door
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: was locked. Sooner or later. Randstadter would have to know why.
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: Sooner or later. Oh, I beg your pardon.
• 42:56
  Speaker 8: How stupid of me. Yes, they gave me wrong key.
• 43:01
  Speaker 8: I simply went to the number like a sheep, being
• 43:04
  Speaker 8: very sad. I don't believe we have met.
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: I came aboard ill. Oh, I'm very sorry to hear me.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: Please for keeping.
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: Score for Brandstatter. He'd never stopped now until he knew
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: exactly who I was.
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: A good chance I was.
• 43:20
  Speaker 5: A narcotics agent. An outside chance I'd been on his
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: trail since China. A million to one shot. Missus Grant
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: had seen me there, would know who I was. He'd
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: have to bring Missus Grant.
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: To see me.
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: But no move by a brand Statter until the following evening.
• 43:35
  Speaker 5: You're off Cape Harris, just twenty four hours out of
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: New York.
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: I could hear the ship's walkster and the passengers, all
• 43:42
  Speaker 8: very gay and friendly.
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: What more perfect time for a man of finesse to
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: visit a poor shut in, and that's just what happened. Then, Goo,
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: good evening. We have brought you ay to cheer from
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: the captain's table. Oh and me, I pretend hello, miss Grant,
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: you know each other.
• 44:02
  Speaker 9: Why, yes, mister Brandon, I charming.
• 44:05
  Speaker 4: We met in Shanghai.
• 44:06
  Speaker 8: Mister rand you seem to be feeling much better tonight,
• 44:11
  Speaker 8: much better.
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: Yes, I'll be up and around tomorrow.
• 44:13
  Speaker 8: Good well, I really should be going back to the party.
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: Why don't you say it? Violence is grand. I'm sure
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: you will have a lot to talk about.
• 44:23
  Speaker 9: I'm sorry you'll get in.
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: Just to touch a favor I picked it up in Egypt.
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: I thought you went to San Francisco.
• 44:30
  Speaker 9: I did, But is your shoe parents? Uncle mister Sue
• 44:33
  Speaker 9: had gone to Avan on business.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: He insisted that we meet him there, and this grand
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: Stater ship's acquaintance.
• 44:39
  Speaker 9: Yes, a business friender mister Sue. He's been very kind
• 44:42
  Speaker 9: to us.
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: Oh see, charming fellow. You're looking very well, missus Grant.
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: Thank you. I feel wonderful, mister Brandt.
• 44:51
  Speaker 10: Remember the things you said to me in Shanghai. I
• 44:54
  Speaker 10: mean about coming back to the state. I know now
• 44:57
  Speaker 10: how right you would.
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: Oh good? Oh, I don't want to keep you from
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: the party.
• 45:02
  Speaker 10: You're sure you can't join us tomorrow? We'll have a
• 45:05
  Speaker 10: big day tomorrow, all right, Good night, mister Vent.
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: In the morning I joined Missus, Grant and the others,
• 45:12
  Speaker 5: a happy, chatty little group inseparable. By lunchtime, Chopan gave
• 45:17
  Speaker 5: me a little pencil sketch of herself at one of
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: the passengers had made the artists said there were lines
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: of suffering in her face in that afternoon, less than
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: an hour from New York. But nothing was worrying Nicholas
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: Brand's Stata or and Grant. I couldn't understand it. What
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: if Brandstada had known who I was long before I
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: got to Havana and had set me on this false
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: trail while he got the narcotics on board some other way.
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: This panic of mine was growing every minute. We were
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: at the bar now having a drink.
• 45:46
  Speaker 10: Someone said we'd be taken on the harbor pilots, so
• 45:50
  Speaker 10: maybe I better take.
• 45:50
  Speaker 9: Shoe pins, daddy, Oh, not getting to say.
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: Another drink, mister van Do, I continued French.
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: Then suddenly there was a motion in the stern, a
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: flurry of excited voices, and the flayed order of something burning.
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: Worry about it is a gament, it's a self fall
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: st trees by the galley.
• 46:11
  Speaker 9: All right, it's all right here. You heard what the
• 46:13
  Speaker 9: officers said.
• 46:14

  Speaker 8: I'd better start by pet Maybe Chupin would like to
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: watch the seagull see either They are just.
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: Off the stern, hundreds of them. But what are they

  Speaker 10: France, Well, Chopin all right for a moment, maybe.
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: I arrest to find Ernando. That's fire in the galley.
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: Ernando's words confirmed what I was reading. You hinted during
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: the fire, where did the stuff go?
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: What about our men done? Well? There was so much
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: smoke they could not see. Go back to the galley, Nando,
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: I'll see what our friends are up to.
• 46:59
  Speaker 5: And I went out, and I remember passing a lifeboat
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: and the sudden instinctive mood the ward up the blow,
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: but I wasn't fast enough.
• 47:06
  Speaker 13: Oh.
• 47:08
  Speaker 5: When I came to I was lying in my cabin.
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: The ship's doctor was there, so was Ernando, so was
• 47:16
  Speaker 5: Anne Grant.
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: I'm sure you would be all right, mister brand quite
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: a bump, but.
• 47:20
  Speaker 9: If you take it, he's not comfortable. Let me loosen
• 47:22
  Speaker 9: your collar here.
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't worry that much about me, Missus Grant.
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: One of the crew was towing some gear in a lifeboat.
• 47:28
  Speaker 6: It slipped out of his hands just as you were
• 47:30
  Speaker 6: passing back.
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: Careless of him, wasn't it. I was got by lease inst.
• 47:34
  Speaker 9: Are you sure you're all right?
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: And you're about to get back to your packing Missus Grant?
• 47:38
  Speaker 9: Oh, I have plenty of time. Can't I help you?
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: Ernando can give me a hand. I'll see you later.
• 47:42
  Speaker 9: Yes, yes, of course, And that she did.
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: No, No, I wasn't wanted up there, Ernando. What about
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: the galley still in the place of the drug Sis.
• 47:51
  Speaker 5: Five twenty five? I left Missus Grant and the lounges
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: twenty minutes ago. She was going to pack.
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: How did she get here? How did she learn about it?
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: I heard some of the past I just mentioned you
• 48:00
  Speaker 4: at occidents when I started back from the galley. Suddenly
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: the noose was all over the sheep. Look, look we're
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: slowing down. That means a pilot is coming aboard. Let's
• 48:08
  Speaker 4: get down to the galley. We all but tore that
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: galley a pot.
• 48:16
  Speaker 5: No sign of the opium. The kitchen crew wasn't of
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: much help. Half of them couldn't speak English.
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: I didn't want to.
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: And then it dawned on me that garbage as it
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: went over the stern, the fire starting just about that time,
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: brand stature. Wanting to watch the seagulls, I tore back
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: up the Companion away from Missus Grant's cabin.
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: As I reached the deck, Upan called to me, there's
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: the bread. Oh well, what's the trouble, Supan?
• 48:41
  Speaker 14: There is no trouble now.
• 48:42
  Speaker 12: But when I couldn't find you, I was so afraid you.
• 48:46
  Speaker 9: You just disappeared.
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: I've been all over the ship looking for you.
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: Noah, isn't that funny. I was just trying to find you.
• 48:52
  Speaker 5: I want you to do something for me, Princess. I well,
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: I like to talk to Anne alone, just for a
• 49:00
  Speaker 5: few minutes.
• 49:01
  Speaker 9: You like her, don't you, mister Brandon, Yes.
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: Yes, I do very much. Oh, mister Bramstadter wanted my
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: business address. I won't have time to look for him,
• 49:10
  Speaker 5: so I wrote him a little note. While I'm with Anne,
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: will you take this cabin?
• 49:15
  Speaker 9: I'll be glad.
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: Don't forget come right back here and wait for me.
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: It was a short note.
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: The seagulls didn't get everything, did they, But it was
• 49:24
  Speaker 5: a nice try. I signed my real name, Barrows. I
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: wanted to be in missus Grant's cabin when bramstead A
• 49:31
  Speaker 5: read it, well.
• 49:33
  Speaker 10: Hello, come on in the cabins.
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: Besides, I just wanted to tell you I won't be
• 49:38
  Speaker 4: able to have dinner with you and ramstad at tonight.
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: Oh that's a shade, Yes, sister, so many things I
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: wanted to ask you.
• 49:44
  Speaker 10: Well, we'll all meet his ads.
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, but some of this can't wait. For instance, about
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: your past life, my past life, and your husband tell
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: me about him just like that. Yes, quite a rough story,
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: wasn't it.
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: Maybe it wasn't not the last year of it. No, really,
• 50:03
  Speaker 5: you seem so full of his memory in Shanghai. We're
• 50:06
  Speaker 5: going to stay in China to finish his work.
• 50:07
  Speaker 9: His work was something else.
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: Oh so you approved of that? Huh? An engineer believes
• 50:13
  Speaker 4: in building something. The point is what you.
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: Don't at all want to build the same thing. The
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: Japanese High Command, for instance, they want to build one
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: kind of world, and I want to build another, meaning
• 50:22
  Speaker 5: one meaning your husband, your own grant. Why the coincidence
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: this snapshot.
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: My picking it up in Egypt?
• 50:29
  Speaker 9: Where did you get it?
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: Where you played governess for Benda Shah's children, where your
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: husband was building better.
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: Irrigation for better poppies. That was his work, helping to
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: make a billion slaves of the next generation. I just
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: want to answer to one question from you.
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: When you were back at the stern watching the seagulls,
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: the opium went overboard with the garbage, didn't it, Hides,
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: And if that's your pal, then I'll know for sure.
• 50:54
  Speaker 10: Shall I answer it?
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: Pick up the phone, just say one word hello, and
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: then give it to me. Hello, grat it's see what
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, chopin. I just couldn't wait. Watch everything's going fine, Princess.
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: You just wait back there? Huh, that wasn't the one,
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: missus Grant you come in Ernando.
• 51:17
  Speaker 14: You'd better watch her. He's covered senor study suicide.
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: The third fanatic who paid for failure, but Bramsteads death
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: told me many things I wanted to know.
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: While the ship's.
• 51:36
  Speaker 5: Captain was fixing the approximate spot where the opium had
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: been thrown overboard, I was talking about radio to the
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: coast guard. I asked for boats to meet the Cardio
• 51:44
  Speaker 5: as fast as they could get to us, said, stuck
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: with overboard, mister Parros with a happy man. Anyway, a
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: million dollars in opium at the bottom of the ocean.
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: But not for long, Captain. The stunt isn't exactly new.
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: The opium will be in waterproof wrappings and attested to floats.
• 51:59
  Speaker 5: They'll be ang on ropes chemically treated. The salt water
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: will gradually eat away the ropes, and the folks will
• 52:05
  Speaker 5: bring the drugs.
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: To the surface, and you'll be there to pick it up.
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: Le's somebody else pieces to it. I'm better stand by,
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: mister Potters. Those launches will be along the side end
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: no time.
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: They sent three launches. I took a grant with me
• 52:20
  Speaker 5: on shoepan. She wouldn't be separated from her, so.
• 52:22
  Speaker 4: I let her have a way.
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: It was ten or twelve miles back to the spot,
• 52:26
  Speaker 5: and the question was would we make it in time.
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: The ropes might have broken already to stuff picked up
• 52:32
  Speaker 5: and the rest of the gene Hawks.
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: Water about ahead. Miss Barrels, they're fishing something up out
• 52:36
  Speaker 4: of the water. We don't let them get away. I
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: want him alive. But if you've got to shoot, and
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: it's like that sting watching ladies, here we go. It
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: was on our three boats against their one.
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: They might have made a run for it, but they
• 52:52
  Speaker 5: tried to save the opium. A few minutes later they surrendered.
• 52:56
  Speaker 5: But these were workmen, not leaders. Where was gene Hawks?
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: I looked at the girl in my launch and I
• 53:02
  Speaker 5: had the answer. The prisoners went aboard the other boats.
• 53:06
  Speaker 5: I took the narcotics, and with Missus Grant and Shooppan,
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: we cut away from the others and headed directly for customs.
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: There were two coastguardsmen handling the launch. Their backs were
• 53:16
  Speaker 5: to us. When suddenly get that that's the idea. Princess
• 53:20
  Speaker 5: put the gun down, tell him to make.
• 53:22
  Speaker 12: For a point a mile above Conniver.
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: She grabbed his gun.
• 53:25
  Speaker 7: That's saying this scuf.
• 53:25
  Speaker 8: Did you hear what I said?
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: Better head for shore boys a mile above Cannover Beacon.
• 53:30
  Speaker 5: That's an order, sir, that's an order never heard of?
• 53:33
  Speaker 5: Gene Hawks, Missus Grant, Jean Hawks, the name that.
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: Took those narcotics around the world. Never heard of it?
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: Huh No, amazing could be our baby faced.
• 53:44
  Speaker 9: Princess here I am twenty years old.
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: The Chinese girl for the honor and glory was pan
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: telling to go faster? The lady says, the speed up skipper.
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: Oh what are you gonna do? Get this stuff ashore
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: than what not to kill? The four of us wants you.
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: That's the same, is it?
• 54:01
  Speaker 5: Jeene Hawks was doing without batting an eye, and you
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: had no idea, Missus Grant, No, didn't, even though your
• 54:07
  Speaker 5: husband was hired by Japan to grow narcotics, and that
• 54:10
  Speaker 5: you've been chaperoning gene Hawks ever since pan Yan, You,
• 54:14
  Speaker 5: the respectable widow an American killed.
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: By Japanese bonds, didn't know that, hunh. Or maybe that
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: isn't how he died at all. Maybe he knew too
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: much and wasn't the fanatic he should have been. He wasn't.
• 54:26
  Speaker 10: Twice you merged, No, you did with notions of helping China,
• 54:30
  Speaker 10: asking questions.
• 54:31
  Speaker 9: He was told to get rid of you, but.
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: He couldn't bring himself to do it. Huh, still had
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: a little feeling for his wife. That weakness licked him,
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: didn't it.
• 54:40
  Speaker 5: Ah, that's the weakness that licked me too, the feeling
• 54:44
  Speaker 5: I had for a helpless little girl.
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: Oh, I was a sucker for that, wasn't I? Your
• 54:49
  Speaker 4: side praised and that kind of thing decent human feeling,
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: no use for it yourself except the faked.
• 54:57
  Speaker 5: But I've been learning fast, princess, and I learned that
• 54:59
  Speaker 5: lessons and time. In fact, I had an idea who
• 55:02
  Speaker 5: you were when you got in this vote.
• 55:04
  Speaker 9: Stop lying?
• 55:05
  Speaker 5: You see after the accident, Missus Grant was standing by
• 55:08
  Speaker 5: my bed, but not the warm little girl who liked
• 55:11
  Speaker 5: me so much?
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: Where was she at the stern watching seagulls? She must
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: have heard about it at.
• 55:17
  Speaker 5: The same time Missus Grant did, but made us a
• 55:19
  Speaker 5: layton coming to find me? And how those lines of
• 55:23
  Speaker 5: suffering in an artice sketch of a young girl could
• 55:25
  Speaker 5: be the madness of a grown woman.
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: But I wasn't sure yet. So the next step was
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: that note to Brand's stature. When he didn't call Missus
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: Grant when he killed himself, that could mean you opened the.
• 55:36
  Speaker 5: Note on the way told brand Stad that he failed
• 55:38
  Speaker 5: and that his services were no longer required.
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: See what I mean, Princess, You can't fake.
• 55:44
  Speaker 5: Real feelings, not for long. They're the exclusive property of
• 55:49
  Speaker 5: real human beings. Now put on that gun, Come and
• 55:53
  Speaker 5: take mister Brant.
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, I will do. She's kill you. She kill you.
• 56:01
  Speaker 4: Keep pulling the trigger, Princess not loaded. Oh what a shame.
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: What do you know, mister berrels your stunt work? Yeah,
• 56:09
  Speaker 4: what do you know?
• 56:10
  Speaker 5: Poor little Jean hawks not even one bullet left to
• 56:13
  Speaker 5: kill herself with tire up on it. That's how and
• 56:21
  Speaker 5: where the trail ended in Outer New York Harbor off
• 56:24
  Speaker 5: Carnev a beacon. And that's where another trail began, you
• 56:28
  Speaker 5: might say, because now.
• 56:29
  Speaker 4: Back in Frisco, I don't have to worry about my
• 56:32
  Speaker 4: roses getting watered and does it like any normal life should.

• 56:44
  Speaker 5: of the United Nations.
