• 5:24
  Speaker 4: You can see it again if it makes you feel

• 5:44
  Speaker 7: A fool?
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: No?
• 6:17
  Speaker 9: Mm apparently yes, I was just about to curl up
• 6:23
  Speaker 9: in front of the fire with a bottle of shut iron,
• 6:25
  Speaker 9: sleep and sleep, and well maybe I don't need tablets
• 6:29
  Speaker 9: to soothe my nerves.
• 6:31
  Speaker 10: Come in, Thank you, mister Temples. My name is Susan Sparrow.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it sounds very demure, are you?
• 6:41
  Speaker 10: Isn't that the kind of thing you should find out
• 6:43
  Speaker 10: for yourself.
• 6:44
  Speaker 9: Missus Sparrow or missus missus? Oh, and I could always
• 6:49
  Speaker 9: ask your.
• 6:49
  Speaker 10: Husband if you can find him. I can't. That's why
• 6:53
  Speaker 10: I've come to you.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, I see somebody lost him.
• 6:56
  Speaker 10: Well, he was supposed to have reached New York three
• 6:58
  Speaker 10: days ago the steamship X Book.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Oh he was a passenger, No.
• 7:03
  Speaker 10: One of the crew. He hasn't come home.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Mister Templar, you waited three days before doing anything about it.
• 7:08
  Speaker 10: Well, of course, because we live in Cleveland.
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: Oh, which means you'd have allowed him a day to
• 7:13
  Speaker 9: get there, a day's wait before you got alarmed, and
• 7:16
  Speaker 9: a day for you to come here.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: All right? Can you think of any reason why he
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: wouldn't have come to Cleveland?
• 7:23
  Speaker 10: Can you?
• 7:24
  Speaker 9: M Well, of course he may not feel the same
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: way I do about about Cleveland.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: You've got in touch with the ship's captain.
• 7:34
  Speaker 10: No, you see, Frank, my husband didn't want anyone to
• 7:37
  Speaker 10: know he was married.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: He's shy.
• 7:40
  Speaker 10: I don't know he well, he's sort of mysterious about things.
• 7:44
  Speaker 10: I see when you find him for me, mister Templar,
• 7:47
  Speaker 10: I'm afraid something may have happened to him, something terrible.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: I'll do what I can.
• 7:52
  Speaker 10: That means you'll find him.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Very pretty vote of confidence.
• 7:56
  Speaker 10: But it's more than a vote. You're a life saved.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: The silence, Well, thank you.
• 8:02
  Speaker 9: I just hope i'll strike the right flavor with your husband. Hey, pard,
• 8:15
  Speaker 9: I beg your pardon.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Where you're going. I'm on my way to the x Brook.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: That's it, isn't it.
• 8:21
  Speaker 11: At the end of the year, Yes, that's the x brook.
• 8:23
  Speaker 11: But visiting ours ain't in effect? Oh yeah, hop of details.
• 8:27
  Speaker 11: Got a little job of work to do? Oh such
• 8:30
  Speaker 11: as drudging? It sounds deep for anything in particular a body?
• 8:36
  Speaker 11: I see someone fell overboard? Well maybe or he could
• 8:40
  Speaker 11: have been pushed. Okay, mister doubler, Well tell it. It's
• 8:55
  Speaker 11: ready to see you now.
• 8:56
  Speaker 9: It's very nice of the Lietenant. Come on, they found
• 9:01
  Speaker 9: the body then.
• 9:02
  Speaker 11: Yeah, watch your stuff here, Hey, lieutenant, here's the guy.
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: Okay Simmons, Now, mister Temple, I understands you've been hanging around.
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: Watch for waiting might be a better description. I bring
• 9:19
  Speaker 9: you here a man named Sparrow, friend of yours. I
• 9:22
  Speaker 9: never met him, however, i'd like to see him. Why
• 9:24
  Speaker 9: he might be worth seeing? He might be Wait a minute,
• 9:28
  Speaker 9: mister Temple, aren't you the saint?
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: He is? But you don't want my biography at the moment,
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: do you? No? Ma'am?
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: He said you wanted to look at Sparrow. Okay, look
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: at him. He's not very pretty. Nobody is. After soaking
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: in the harbor for three days, she's must have been hungry. Yeah,
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: the guy's face is practically gone, but he was carrying
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: his papers on him the temple.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: You've found your man, Frank Sparrow. Mmmm, he was drowned.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Surprised he wasn't drowned. A couple of bullets in him. Oh,
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: we'll put him there.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: The same night he disappeared, the night watchman on this
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: tub disappeared too, an all guy named Gleason. We found
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: the watchman's gun in one of the ventilators. Two shots
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: had been fired from it. Also, some weights were missing.
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: Watchman shot Spara put the weights in his clothing to
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: keep him down for a while.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Get him down for three days. But Sparrow came up anyway.
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: Proving you can't keep a good man down or a
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: bad man.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Templar acts suspicious about anything, Susy, No.
• 10:42
  Speaker 10: He believed me. He's out looking for Sparrow.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Now, you're a good girl, Susy.
• 10:47
  Speaker 10: I wonder they go now, that could be unhealthy.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: Me and Collins asked you to front for us, get
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: a legit character like template to find Sparrow for us,
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: for which you get paid. Don't wonder, all right, leg.
• 11:00
  Speaker 10: Why are you so anxious to find Sparrow?
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: He goes, Me and Colin must be a lot mind
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: your own business?
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: Is he?
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: Where's Collins telling Templar? We want to know where Sparrow is?
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: The instant Templar tags we goo.
• 11:15
  Speaker 10: You told me why you didn't want to go to
• 11:17
  Speaker 10: Templar yourself. You said he'd be more willing to do
• 11:20
  Speaker 10: it of a pretty girl like me, asked him.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: And what's that supposed to be? Nudes?
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: No?
• 11:24
  Speaker 10: But I'm beginning to think maybe the reason you wanted
• 11:28
  Speaker 10: your names kept out of it is suppose something happens
• 11:31
  Speaker 10: to Sparrow after Templar finds him, something fatal, then you'd
• 11:37
  Speaker 10: be in the clear.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: You've got a very healthy imagination.
• 11:40
  Speaker 10: It doesn't feel healthy right now.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: Listen, you're running in there, inform me. Don't try to
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: run it up to anything else.
• 11:48
  Speaker 10: Otherwise you wouldn't lay a hand on me.
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: Oh wouldn't I? Oh see, you were wrong about that.
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: It could be wrong about lots of things, So stop imagining.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: Just do like your told.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Me.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: I'll talk into the bedroom un till we see you's
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: coming for somebody else.
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: Coming?
• 12:11
  Speaker 10: Coming? Oh hello, Simon?
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: May I come in?
• 12:19
  Speaker 10: Of course I'm glad you came. I've been sort of lonely.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: That's not exactly why I came, Oh.
• 12:29
  Speaker 10: Simon, you don't mean you've already found Frank. I don't, Oh, Simon,
• 12:35
  Speaker 10: you're wonderful.
• 12:36
  Speaker 9: Not especially. It was very simple. What isn't simple is
• 12:40
  Speaker 9: why someone followed me here.
• 12:42
  Speaker 10: Someone followed you, or you must be imagining it.
• 12:45
  Speaker 9: Perhaps I thought better of my imagination though. However, Susan,
• 12:51
  Speaker 9: what was your husband carrying on him?
• 12:53
  Speaker 10: I don't quite know what that means, carrying something?
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Just a wild shot, Susan.
• 12:59
  Speaker 9: When I got down to the ship, the police were
• 13:02
  Speaker 9: very busy doing what fishing a body out of the harbor.
• 13:06
  Speaker 9: The papers found on it belonged to Frank Spoun. Oh no, no,
• 13:11
  Speaker 9: nothing else in his pockets except Susan. A night watchman
• 13:16
  Speaker 9: named Gleaton disappeared the night of the murder, presumably after
• 13:19
  Speaker 9: emptying those pockets.
• 13:22
  Speaker 10: Oh that's why you asked me what my husband might
• 13:25
  Speaker 10: be carrying on? I don't know, I Simon. You'd better go.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Now, of course. The shock Yes, good night, Susan.
• 13:37
  Speaker 10: Good night, Simon.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Came from down the hall.
• 13:43
  Speaker 10: Simon, don't leave me, he dear, Susan.
• 13:49
  Speaker 9: Come on back in, Simon, the new Corps, same man
• 13:54
  Speaker 9: who'd followed me here, Colin, what you just said Colin.
• 13:59
  Speaker 10: Did you see the man who?
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: No? By the time I got to the end of
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: the holly was gone. Who is Colin, Susan.
• 14:06
  Speaker 10: I don't know anyone named Colin's. You must have made
• 14:08
  Speaker 10: a mistake, Susan.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: A man was just killed out there. The police will be.
• 14:13
  Speaker 9: Along in a very little while. They'll identify him. That'll
• 14:16
  Speaker 9: lead them to you.
• 14:17
  Speaker 10: No, the police don't know anything about I do. You
• 14:19
  Speaker 10: wouldn't tell them.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: How long have you been married to Frank Sparrow?
• 14:24
  Speaker 10: A couple of years.
• 14:26
  Speaker 9: You spend a lot of time outdoors, don't you. Someone
• 14:29
  Speaker 9: must have told you how attractive tanned blondes are.
• 14:32
  Speaker 10: Well, yes, I do, get out a bit.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Mind slipping that wedding ring off your finger? No thanks?
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: What are you staring at your ring? Finger hand prettily
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: even under the ring? What?
• 14:46
  Speaker 9: You haven't been wearing that ring very long, Susan, Otherwise
• 14:49
  Speaker 9: there'd be a band of lighter skin on your finger.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: Which means you're not married, Susan. You just started wearing
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: that ring today, Simon, I do. You'll have to you
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: pretend to be Sparrow's wife and asked me to find him.
• 15:02
  Speaker 10: Why I a friend of mine? I mean Sparrow was
• 15:07
  Speaker 10: a friend of mine. I was worried about him. You know,
• 15:10
  Speaker 10: you know I didn't kill Collins. I was here in
• 15:13
  Speaker 10: the room with you.
• 15:14
  Speaker 9: Some one you know might have killed Collins, just as
• 15:16
  Speaker 9: you might have killed Sparrow.
• 15:18
  Speaker 10: What you said? The night watchman Gleason.
• 15:20
  Speaker 9: Was suspected, that's all. Who asked you to pretend you
• 15:23
  Speaker 9: were Sparrow's wife?
• 15:25
  Speaker 10: A man named Rego?
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Why did he want Sparrow found?
• 15:29
  Speaker 10: He didn't tell me.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: What were you supposed to do when I found Sparrow?
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: For you?
• 15:33
  Speaker 10: Tell Rego? That's all?
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Huh? Where is Rego? Now? I don't know where does
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: he live?
• 15:39
  Speaker 10: I don't know that either, But.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: The next time you see him, Susan, ask him to
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: get in touch with me. All right, Simon, is there
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: a back way out of this apartment? I'd just as
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: soon avoid the police.
• 15:50
  Speaker 9: Back way apartments frequently have them, you know, usually through
• 15:54
  Speaker 9: the kitchen, of course.
• 15:56
  Speaker 10: Come on, I'll show you. You can go right out here.
• 16:01
  Speaker 10: Those stairs lead to the street.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, thank you, Susan, Simon.
• 16:06
  Speaker 10: Couldn't you forget that you ever came to see me?
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Forget? Yes, Susan, I can be forgetful about a lot
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: of things, but not murder. Bred boy gone. Oh, reg
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: you went very smart, Susan. What do you mean feeding
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: bread boy my name?
• 16:28
  Speaker 10: I had to otherwise he might have turned me over
• 16:30
  Speaker 10: to the cops.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: You didn't knock off Collins, did you? So why worry?
• 16:34
  Speaker 10: Because maybe you did?
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: Little thinker, ain't you, Susie. I was in the apartment
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: when Colin's got it.
• 16:41
  Speaker 10: You could have gone out the back door, shut him,
• 16:44
  Speaker 10: then come back.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Sure, only you forgot to mention that's the temper.
• 16:48
  Speaker 10: I didn't forget, Rego. You were expecting something from Sparrow,
• 16:53
  Speaker 10: something worth money. That night watchman who killed Sparrow must
• 16:57
  Speaker 10: have stolen it. But you're going to find that night
• 17:00
  Speaker 10: watchman now, aren't you.
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: I wouldn't know Sparrow's being fished out of the hob.
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: It don't make me feel good, Rego.
• 17:07
  Speaker 10: I stuck my neck out on this for peanuts. There's
• 17:10
  Speaker 10: been a couple of murders, Rego. I want more money
• 17:14
  Speaker 10: for my end of this job.
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: Suppose I did kill Colin, says, that would be on
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: account of I didn't want to cut him in.
• 17:23
  Speaker 10: I mentioned your name to Templar. That would be because
• 17:27
  Speaker 10: I wouldn't want you to get the same idea about me.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: You're not only pretty, sissy, you're smart. Thanks, you could
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: easily get too smart. All right, I'll cut you in, Susy,
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: but no more flapping of them out the templar right right?
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Am? I?
• 17:47
  Speaker 10: Where are you going home?
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: I'm a hard working man. I need a rest.
• 17:50
  Speaker 10: What about Gleason the night watchman?
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Don't worry, you'll have to pedal the stuff he took
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: off Sparrow when he does.
• 17:57
  Speaker 10: You won't forget to let me know, will you?
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: I won't forget, And you watch yourself for that singer,
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: because the way I've heard it, it's only a nickname.
• 18:16
  Speaker 9: Hello Rica, I rather thought you'd be using the back door.
• 18:21
  Speaker 9: Let's not loiter, shall we? The police object you have
• 18:27
  Speaker 9: a nice visit with Susan.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Susan who.
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: If you weren't in Susan's apartment, you might have been
• 18:34
  Speaker 9: out in the hallway killing Collins.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: Now you mentioned it, you meant Susan. Sure I was
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: in her apartment all the time.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Why were you hiding when I dropped in? How it is?
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: I'm a gentleman.
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: The word has been redefined since I went to school, Rigo.
• 18:50
  Speaker 9: It looks as though Sparrow is a dead end. How
• 18:53
  Speaker 9: are you going to find Gleeson?
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: Why should I want him? Whatever Sparrow had, Gleason has it.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: Now something We ain't hear Susie's apartment house anymore.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: It's kind of late, nobody around.
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: You're very observant, also somebody who don't like interference. So
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: that's why you're showing me your gun temper? What's to
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: stop me from getting you out of my head?
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: For one thing, you're bald.
• 19:18
  Speaker 9: For another, the man who's been trailing us ever since
• 19:21
  Speaker 9: we left Susan's house.
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: You're lying look back fat. Oh no, you're just angling
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: for a chance to jump me. It's your problem. Okay,
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: move up in front of me a couple of peep
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: and now I'll take a look.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: So, yeah, I've seen him, only I couldn't have he's dead.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Prettygo. You're a fool. If you hadn't started running, we
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: could have caught the man trailing us. I like this
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: better being on a cab. Oh that's the.
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: Kind of remark I approve of.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Let me stay out of this conversation.
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: Uh sudden, Oh you don't like cab drivers, mister Tumphem,
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: I'm crazy about them. Look, I see two fellas having
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: a foot race in the middle of the night. I
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: think maybe they would get there faster in a cab.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: I pull over to the kop And it's my fault.
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: It turned out to be you. H'h mister company.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: No, Louis, I'm very grateful that you stopped.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: For it, okay, And nobody mentioned the address fifty three Cosson,
• 20:20
  Speaker 6: Well it's an address.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Who is that man, Rigo? George Washington? Here a little
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: behind the times, Riga, did you kill Colins? No? An
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: you prove it. No, the police are going to want
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: somebody for that murder. All let them find their own murderers.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: I got other troubles. You may turn out to be
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: the same trouble. Rigo.
• 20:36
  Speaker 9: You didn't kill Collins, and the man who did maybe
• 20:38
  Speaker 9: after you. Yeah, and for the same reason. Get you
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: out of the way so he could catch in on
• 20:44
  Speaker 9: the stuff Sparrow was smuggling into the country, jewels, that
• 20:47
  Speaker 9: guy who.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Cares what you guess? Besides, that would make it Gleason.
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: And I ain't afraid of Gleason's why not because he
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: ain't dead.
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: And mister Temple, yes, Louis, you know personally I'm not
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: sorry we deposited mister Rego at his house. He's not
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: the type I'm comfortable driving around.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: In my care. That would be narrow minded, Louis. No,
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: it's not that I'm narrow minded, just so happens. I'm
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: not bulletproof neither.
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: Hey, mister Temple, you want I should drive you back
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: to that blonde's apartment.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: No, Louise, Oh, then your description of what was not
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: the truth? Oh? It was the truth. But I have
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: a more important earn go on in the middle of
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: the night.
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: What could be more important than a blonde?
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: Louis? Make it the more all right, Louis, Oh, it's
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: about time.
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: I don't enjoy waiting around for affair outside of the morgue.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: I get morbid thoughts. What do you want? I should
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: take you back house? Look, mister Temple, I got a suggestion.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Why don't we just stay here and send for Rigo?
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: You know, then after he got through with this, we
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: could move right into the walk without bothering nobody.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: Europe. Yes, I should have been a truck driver. Oh,
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: you whistled nicely.
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: My brother in law, he keeps telling me. Louis says,
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: you should be a truck driver. You'll in manners want
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: to be polite to people. Why not to help distress
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: motorists when they're in distress?
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Why not? You shouldn't be a road hog.
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: And above everything else, he says, you don't.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Have to associate with riff rat. So I listen to them.
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: No, I stay a cab driver, and.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: I visit the Maugue. Hey, mister Temple, what did you
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: do there? Looked at the corps they fished out of
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: the harbor? Uh huh. He improved in appearance hard Lane.
• 22:46
  Speaker 9: However, I did suggest that the officer in charge that
• 22:49
  Speaker 9: he get in touch immediately with Sparrow's dentist.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, wow, the corpse has a toothchacher.
• 22:54
  Speaker 9: Oh, I don't know, but it's possible, Louis, it's possible.

  Speaker 3: I see things? You sure you come along?
• 23:27
  Speaker 10: Of course I did.
• 23:29
  Speaker 5: Maybe you only think so because maybe somebody came with you,
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: only you can't see him.
• 23:35
  Speaker 10: You're drunk.
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: I wish I was drunker.

  Speaker 10: What's the matter?

  Speaker 3: Window? There's somebody in the window.
• 24:22
  Speaker 10: Who he's got a gun.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: I figured him to have one.
• 24:26
  Speaker 10: Did you run?
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: That's no place to run to?
• 24:36
  Speaker 10: We run? Oh?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: No, no, open the door?

  Speaker 3: Simon? Shot where we go? Never mind?

• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Who shots? No, no, Rego, don't be a fool. Oh Rico.
• 25:11
  Speaker 10: Eh, that's that Simon.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: He's dead. You were the only one in the room
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: with him. Susan.
• 25:17
  Speaker 10: He was shot through that window, Simon. Please believe me.
• 25:21
  Speaker 9: Mm when the glass broke him by the bullets.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: He just a glass fell into the room. That means
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: someone outside shot Rico. Someone keep talking, Susan. He still out. Ah, yeah,
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: you mustn't know that. We know we're in the light.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Oh is it? I think I could name him.
• 25:41
  Speaker 9: Keep talking, Scissan, I'm going to work my way around
• 25:45
  Speaker 9: to the wall next to the window. As soon as
• 25:47
  Speaker 9: I get there. Put the lights out in here.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: The lights. Why you're near the switch.
• 25:51
  Speaker 9: Don't look at it for I as to your left
• 25:56
  Speaker 9: a little higher than your waist. Turn a bit away
• 25:59
  Speaker 9: from me. Slide one hand behind your back.
• 26:02
  Speaker 10: What are you going to do, Simon?
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: The light? I'm scared to worry about it, I said, Susan.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: Cut your finger on the switch.
• 26:11
  Speaker 12: Yes, all right, then let's have a little darkness.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, much better, Susan. Put the lights on inside?
• 26:31
  Speaker 10: All right, Simon, Simon?
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: Did you yes?
• 26:35
  Speaker 9: Yes, a little stranger is resting you recognize him? No,
• 26:41
  Speaker 9: I've never seen him, and perhaps.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: I'd better introduce you to him. Susan, meet mister Sparrow.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: So all right, mister Temple, is a guy you in that?
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: That'll Rigo's house was Sparrow? Yeah, so he killed REGOs
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: so he also killed Collins only but he was dead.
• 27:06
  Speaker 9: No, Louis, he checked with Sparrow's deadist. It wasn't Sparrow
• 27:10
  Speaker 9: in the morgue.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Or sure, sure he was out shooting feet. But if
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: it wasn't Sparrow, who was the night watchman Gleason?
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: Oh, oh, you mean instead of gleasonan knocking off Sparrow,
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: it was Sparrow, which.
• 27:22
  Speaker 9: Not for Gleicion, That's right, Louis. Then he emptied Gleason's
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: pockets and put his own papers in them. He hoped
• 27:28
  Speaker 9: that would result in the police looking for Gleeson.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 27:31
  Speaker 9: He also hoped it would throw Collins and Rego off.
• 27:34
  Speaker 9: It did, and that he could kill them and keep
• 27:37
  Speaker 9: the jewels for himself.
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: It's a very low type.
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: Only you must have known before you caught Sparrow on
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: a coup. If you know, you told the cops to
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: look up that dentist.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: So how did you know?
• 27:48
  Speaker 9: Obviously Sparrow was in a hurry after he killed Gleeson,
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: the shots might have been heard. Therefore, he didn't have
• 27:54
  Speaker 9: time to change clothes with the dead man. All he
• 27:57
  Speaker 9: could do was empty Gleason's pockets of everything that he
• 28:00
  Speaker 9: might have identified him and substitute his own identification.
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: And then he hoped the water and the fishes would
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: make it impossible to identify Lesion.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Huh, but that still don't tell me, Louis.
• 28:09
  Speaker 9: No, it was too pat what the only thing in
• 28:13
  Speaker 9: a corpse. This pocket turned out to be is identification
• 28:15
  Speaker 9: papers a corpse otherwise unrecognizable. Oh it's too pat and
• 28:20
  Speaker 9: therefore for a fake.
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: Sure, okay, yeah, but there's something else you have to explain,
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: which is why ain't that beautiful blonde.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: With you, Susan?
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Oh, she's in conference at headquarters? Is that so? Yes?
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Who says the policeman's lot is not a happy one?
• 28:49

  Speaker 2: Palmer on Theater Guild on the air, and enjoyed The
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Phil Harris Show later on NBC.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. Well, this one was probably, in terms of mystery,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: one of the weaker Saint plots. I guess this one
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: early on, just because it did seem to me the
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: likely big shakeup rather than any of these people who
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: were far away having committed the crime. I also have
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: to say that with the suspects talking among themselves and
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: the way the Saint comes into this, it almost seems
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: like a script for The Falcon, and I can't help
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: but wonder if this was either a reused script or
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: a script that had been proposed for the Falcon and
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: then rejected and subsequently reworked for the Saint. Acting is
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: still good Invencent Price acts as always. Speaking of that,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: we have some listener comments and feedback. Jen says love
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Vincent Price's voice on the Saint radio show. I have
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: I'd have watched him a lot more than Roger Moore
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: if he'd been on the TV series. While high praise indeed,
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Jan and then we have a note from Joe. I
