Well, it's time now for us to continue on with the Curse of
2:00
cameishek Matter? Parts three and four from Hollywood? It's time now for Johnny
2:09
Dollar. This is the operator at the Explorers Club. Oh good, have
2:13
you been able to marry mister Dollar? But I haven't been able to reach
2:15
mister Donald Cronin for you. Well, hasn't he been there at all?
2:20
He was in and out all morning, but he refused to answer any calls.
2:23
Then, since you FaZe telephone, he hasn't been back. Well do
2:25
you know when he will be back? No? I don't, sir,
2:29
All right, then leave a message. I'll meet him there at the club.
2:31
Is it very important that you see him, mister Dollar. It's important
2:36
that I keep him from being murdered tonight and every weekday night. Bob Bailey

in the Transcribed Adventures of the Man with the Action Packed expensve out America's fabulous
2:51
freelance Insurance Investigator, Yours truly, Johnny Dollar from Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to
3:10
Winter Allied Life Insurance Company, Crutchfield Square, Hertford, Connecticut. Assignment.
3:15
The Cursive Commashek matter expense account continued, Item six nine dollars eighty cents Trained
3:27
to New York, quick lunch and taxi to the Trader's Bank and Trust Company.
3:30
There, I picked up the American Express travelers checks that Eric Turnbull had
3:34
left in my name. Had left for expense money to take me to Egypt
3:37
to make sure his nephew, Donald Cronin lives safely through an expedition to open
3:40
the grave of the ancient Faro Commashek. The bank teller's brief remark gave me
3:45
something to think about. I'll sign mister yep, it's now. Let me
3:50
check them out for you, judge once for all right, twenty thousand,
3:54
two thousand, three thousand, thirty five hundred forty five seven eight five thousand
4:04
dollars easy, Hey, you are good. Thanks, And as I'm sure
4:10
mister Turnbull knows, this will close out this particular account completely. I thought
4:18
about that remark a little later, when it began to tie in with some
4:21
other things I learned right now it am seven eighty cents care fair to the
4:26
Explorers Club. Donald had not yet returned, so I left another message for
4:30
him, asking him to sit tight until he heard from me. And I
4:32
meant sit tight because apparently, after the latest argument with his uncle Eric,
4:36
he was quite likely to hop off to Egypt on short notice. This I
4:40
didn't want. As a matter of fact, at this point, I wasn't
4:43
sure I approved of his expedition at all. Both his uncle and his girlfriend,
4:46
Dorothy Harkness, had told me they thought his life was in danger,
4:50
and each accused the other of plotting his murder. I was about to leave
4:55
the Explorer's Club when I was buttonhole by a short, kind of cute looking
4:59
old character and gray stripe suit. Tell us all vest spats, believe it
5:01
or not, and all but a monica, I say, they're old men.
5:04
Yes, if you'll pardon me, I believe I overheard you inquiring at
5:09
the desk for Donald Cronin, didn't I? Oh, yes, you know,
5:12
I most certainly do. But excuse me. I'm Percival Thronghurst, scattereday,
5:16
mister Scannaday, I'm Johnny Downd. Yes, yes, yes, Donald
5:18
hold me that he'd met you at his home. Tell me do you plan
5:21
to accompany him on the expedition to thebes Well, yes, excellent, excellent.
5:27
It should result, you know, in one of the most important archaeological
5:30
kinds of the century. Think of it, the tomb of Kamashek. Yes,
5:34
do you know where Donald is now? Inasire's artifacts and that should put
5:39
to shame the ones that were excavated from the tomb of Tuton Common. Yes,
5:43
I'm sure. Well, but now, if history has told us the
5:45
truth about Kamashek eighteenth dynasty, I believe that I wouldn't know. But now
5:48
i'm mister Scanaday. It's important that I reached Donald Chronach just soon. No,
5:53
no, no, no, now that I think of it, camsh
5:55
Camashaker's Twilft dynasty, Missus Scannaday. But he couldn't be because that was the
6:00
era. Yeses, I remember now it was the eighteenth the same period in
6:03
which the Great Temple of Queen Hatshepsut was erected at dire El Bahari at Thieves
6:11
of course you see that. Of course, No, I haven't all magnificent
6:14
in thralling. But now, mister Dollar, I can't reach Stanald Cronin.
6:17
So if you'll excuse me, mister Dollar. Please you say you are going
6:20
with Donald, you do know about the curse of Kamashek or do you?
6:26
Yes, yes, I've heard it. Then you'll certainly arrange not to be
6:29
present at the opening of the sarcophagus. Well as I'm certain you know all
6:34
the preliminary work has been accomplished by the advanced party. Of course, so
6:39
I understand the anti chamber of the tomb was opened over a month ago.
6:43
So well, it simply means that as soon as Donald arrives, they will
6:46
penetrate to the sepulchle chamber and the sarcophagus itself. Wow, mister Donner,
6:51
it was engraved on the stone slap barring the way to the last chamber,
6:56
mantac co fora l and so on. Oh, it's not supposed to be
7:00
the warning, my boy, the warning that whosoever violate the tomb and desecrate
7:04
the body of the noble Pharaoh by contact therewith shall quickly die. You don't
7:11
believe in those things, do you, Dolls. I always understood it.
7:13
Those warnings were just put there to discourage thieves from robbing, was old to
7:16
mister Dolla, only asked that you remember what happened to those who violated the
7:20
tomb of Tuten Cantall. Well, couldn't the deaths of the people who went
7:24
at that tomb be due simply to coincidence or rather things circumstances quite apart from
7:30
their having done so? Of course, of course they could. But were
7:31
they? Mister Dollar? I assure you that if it were not for the
7:35
warning of the curse of Kamashek, I would be the first to want to
7:39
enter that tom Instead, I have refused to go on the expedition at all.
7:45
Take care of Donald, well, that's what I'm being hired to do.
7:47
And of yourself, sir, Yeah, sure, now sorry, but
7:50
I'm anxious to reach Donald. And you say you've seen him here at the
7:54
club, Yes, only last evening he was here making some of his final
7:57
preparations. Well do you know where he is now? Yes, at his
8:00
uncle Siplation's Stamford, Connecticut. You're sure as sure as I am. But
8:05
you've not heeded my warning about the curse of Camashek. But I beg you,
8:07
mister Dollar, for the welfare of Donald Cronin and yours. Yeah,
8:11
sure, thanks. If this were a mystery story instead of an accounting of
8:20
expenditures on a case, i'd thank Percy Scannaday as a prime suspect for whatever
8:26
might happen later, like the man who tries to throw you off his own
8:28
trail by suggesting that somebody else is gunning for you. But I decided he
8:33
was just an old fogie who had been turned down on the Kamashek expedition,
8:35
was trying to justify his own shortcomings with the tales about the curse. But
8:39
you know something I was wrong. I should have listened to him a little
8:43
more understanding me. I had an eight seventy five cents taxi to the office
8:50
of Harrison and Dolman and Company to see David Wilt, the man Eric Turnbull
8:54
had named as a stockbroker. The reason, it remarked the bank teller had
8:58
made about closing out in a ounce. As it turned out, my timing
9:01
was perfect. Sit down, sir, sit out. I'll be with you
9:05
as soon as I finished this phone call. Oh sure, thanks, I'm
9:09
sorry to kept you waiting, but someone just stepped into my office. If
9:11
you'd rather be left alone, it's all right now, As I started to
9:13
say, if you dispose of the gold medal mining stock, your holdings will
9:18
be reduced to practically nothing. Yeap, Yes, that's right. Well but
9:24
mister yes, but mister look, you're sure you wouldn't rather I can come
9:26
back another time. Very well, very well, It's just that I hate
9:30
to see what was once a very strong investment program. Very well, mister
9:33
Turnbull, if you insist, Turnbull, yes, good rye now now Eric
9:41
Turnbull, mister wilt, yes, but now just a minute, sir,
9:43
it was very remissive me to mention the client's name in front of you,
9:46
At least under the circumstances. Whatever I may have sat on the phone just
9:50
now was quite confidential. Yeah, I'm sure it was. I can only
9:54
ask that you discreetly forget anything you may have heard, not by a long
9:58
shot. What's this? Who are you, sir Dollar? I believe the
10:03
receptionist said, that's right, Johnny Dollar, insurance investigator. And that conversation
10:07
told me just what I came here to try to charm you into telling me,
10:09
mister Dollar, Please remember this, that was entirely confidential. None of
10:13
your business here, mi credentials. Yeah, well, now you remember something.
10:20
So far as Eric Turnbull is concerned, my coming here is entirely confidential,
10:24
none of his business. Goodbye, mister Wilson. So the wealthy Eric
10:33
Turnbull wasn't so wealthy after all. Big investments in the stock market, he'd
10:37
said, but they didn't look so big anymore. And the closing out of
10:41
bank accounts. I have nine thirty cents. Phone called to Dorothy Harkness.
10:46
Yes, I just called to tell you, Dorothy that if it'll be any
10:50
satisfaction to you, I'm going to make the trip to Egypt. Oh,
10:54
thank Heaven, and Donald will have some protection against the machinations of his uncle.
10:58
Oh yeah, that sounds like a line of an all melodrama. I
11:01
know you don't believe me, mister Dollar, but I'm so sure that Eric
11:03
Turnbull is plotting against Donald's life. You know something, I'm beginning to feel
11:07
a little that way too. Then you did believe me, inspite of the
11:11
way you poo pooed everything I said. Are you? Are you and Donald
11:13
leaving together? I can't see to find him. Do you know where he
11:16
is? Have you tried the explorers? No? Not there. Well,
11:18
he'll surely call me before he leaves. Well, if he does, have
11:22
him get in touch with me. Where mister doller. Right now, I'm
11:24
going out to Eric Turnbull's house. After that, I'll be back in Hyford.
11:30
I am ten seven dollars even trained fair back to Stamford and taxi to
11:33
the Turnbull residence in the hope that there I would find Donald Cronin, the
11:37
real principal in this case, and the one person I hadn't yet talked to.
11:41
But it was Eric Turnbull who met me at the door. Mister Dollar,
11:43
I'm glad to see you. Come in, Come in. Have you
11:46
seen my nephew Donald Well, No, isn't here. No, nor is
11:50
he the Explorer's Club. I've called him several times. I'm worried about him
11:54
in his present frame of mind. I'm worried about him too, mister Turnbull,
11:56
but not for the same because of that girl, Dorothy Hawkmas. He
11:58
said that is what I meant. In his present friend of mind, he's
12:01
likely to jump off in his flight to Egypt without look here. I wonder
12:05
if he's with her. No that much I do know. Oh, I
12:07
wish to heaven he would call if anything happens. If anything happens to him,
12:11
you'd love it, wouldn't you. What What did you say? I've
12:16
done a little checking up on you, mister Turnbull, since I last talked
12:18
to you. What do you mean? And the case is involved as this,
12:20
it's necessary to check all the angles everything, everyone, even the man
12:24
who hires you. Has that girl been poisoning your mind against me too?
12:28
Your banker from whom I picked up the American Express checks, let it slip
12:31
that your account is in pretty bad shape, non existent now. As a
12:35
matter of fact, go on, mister doll and your stockbroker quite inadvertently made
12:39
it all too plain that the big investments you told me about aren't so big
12:43
after all. Mister don I tie that in with the fact that if anything
12:46
does happen to Donald, you'll come into his estate. You've said enough,
12:48
But it's true, isn't it. You laid so much stress on Dorothy and
12:52
the museum getting his one hundred thousand life insurance, but you're the one who
12:56
would really benefit by his death. Della, you have talked with one banker
13:01
with one stockbroker. Why and you're snooping around? Didn't you talk with the
13:05
others who hold my account, who like, that's none of your business?
13:11
But if what you are implying were true, why in Heaven's name, would
13:13
I ever asked you to come in and protect my nephew as a cover up.
13:16
I should knock you down with my bare fists. And believe me,
13:20
my boy, I could do it. I'll listen to me. If I
13:22
didn't have any money, how could I afford to give you the five thousand
13:26
expense money? Pay whatever other costs may be inbound in your employment? And
13:30
why do you suppose in spite of this high handed attitude of yours, I'm
13:33
still begging you to stay on this case. See Donald, mister Dollar,
13:37
talk with him. You'll find it. In spite of the angry scene between
13:41
us, I'm concerned only with his welfare that I want to protect him,
13:43
that I want you to protect me. Wait quit, that's Donald, and
13:46
I may take it well in just a minute, Johnny, I'm oh,
13:50
mister Dollar. I was calling mister Turnbull, missus Scannada. Yes, of
13:54
the Explorers Club, mister Dollar. I've just talked to a couple of fellow
13:58
men who saw him off, saw him Donald Cronin, Yes, last night.
14:03
His plain has probably reached Cara by now through all of us, didn't
14:07
he? Yeah? Thanks, well, I thought you want to well,
14:13
Donald, left for Egypt last night. Oh no, oh, yes,
14:20
please please, I beg of you. Go in Heaven's name, go to
14:24
it, stay with it. Protect him. For a long moments, Eric
14:31
Turnbull simply stood there sobbing, cleaning with his tear filled eyes, and suddenly,
14:37
I don't know why I found that. I believed him. I wish
14:43
now that he'd been lying. Two lives might have been saved. Johnny Dollars,
15:09
Yeah, I know, And no, I haven't found Donald Crohlin.
15:11
It wasn't at his uncle's place. Jenny must find him, talk to him,
15:16
talk him out of making the trip to Egypt. Dorothy, he'll die.
15:20
His uncle will see Dorothy. I'm afraid it's a little late for that.
15:26
He took off on a direct flight to each of early yesterday, as
15:28
at least a thirty six hours start. At least, Johnny, you must
15:31
go after him on the first plane I can get to Cairol from special Investigator
15:46
Johnny Dollar to inter Allied Life Insurance Company Crutchfield Square Hertford, Connecticut assignment.
15:52
The curse of comershek Matter expenser count continued. I had them ten taxi trained
16:03
to New York and camped to the airport nine dollars forty five cents. I
16:06
had A'M eleven round trip plane fair to Cairo, each of thirteen hundred and
16:10
five dollars. I was tired, and the steady drawne of the four powerful
16:19
engines lulled me to sleep in no time. I think I might have slept
16:22
most of the way to Paris, which was to be our first stop,
16:26
except for hunger bans and the appropriate administrations of a very attractive stewardess. Usually
16:32
on such a long flight, I try to make friends with everybody aboard just
16:36
to shorten the trip, and I did this time, except for one man
16:40
who sat four or five seats behind me. He was a rather hefty individual,
16:44
dark complexion, about thirty I'd guess who didn't budge from his seat during
16:48
the entire flight, and every time I approached him to pass the time of
16:52
day, he immediately made like he was asleep, so he wanted to be
16:56
alone. But when I settled down into my seat next to a lovely,
17:00
petite brunette named Carolyn, who was And that's beside the point, except for
17:04
purely personal reasons that I'll pursuit further when I get back to the States.
17:08
Hey Yeah. The point is that, in pumping a bit and replenishing her
17:12
lipsticks, she held up a small mirror compact and reflected in it. I
17:17
could see that the dark complexion man was not only quite wide awake, but
17:21
watching me every second of the ride in a not a strange way, too
17:25
concentrated, like you'd watch a fly you're planning to swat. Then every time
17:30
I'd turn around, he'd promptly shut his eyes and faint sleep again. Finally,
17:38
it was early evening. We sat down at Le Bourges, the airport
17:41
of the outskirts of Paris. Since this was Carolyn's destination during the short layover,
17:47
I helped her get her baggage and extracted the promise of a date in
17:49
New York when she returned in the fall. Yeah, yeah, I guess
17:53
Paris does it to me. Well. Anyhow, after she piled into a
17:57
taxi, I wandered around for a thinking and decided to reboard the plane,
18:02
look up the dark silent passenger and have it out with him. But apparently
18:06
I had waited too long. As I passed a narrow sort of alley beside
18:08
a baggage shit, he decided to have it out with me. In here?
18:11
Don quick? Huh what in here? We won't be saying, Oh
18:17
just a minute, fella, who are you? What do you want you?
18:27
All right now? Always a big idea, mister. You're gonna talk
18:33
and you want some more this? All right? All right, I'll talk.
18:37
We'll put you up to this car. I can't tell you that you
18:40
want to better. And I start talking. I said, i'll talk,
18:45
I'll talk. It was turnblow? It was turnblow? What Turnbull here?
18:51
Yeah, that's right, Frederic Turnbull. Why should I know? I do
18:56
a lot of strong iron for it. Go on, go on? So
18:57
he pays me good to get you, so I should ask questions. Well,
19:02
maybe he'll have a few to ask you if you ever get back to
19:03
the States, and I'll roll over. Don't call all right, what are
19:10
you doing? That's my Passport's right, mister, That's exactly what it was.
19:14
When you get back in your feet, you can try to figure out
19:15
how to go on from here without it. Question. You're dirty, Sorry,
19:18
buddy, I gotta catch a flight. I suppose I should have turned
19:25
the unfriendly thug over to the French police, but figured he'd have trouble enough
19:29
laking a passport to keep him out of my way for a while. The
19:32
only changes I could make against him would be for assault. Time was of
19:34
the essence tool, since Donald Cronin actually was two days ahead of me,
19:38
and it was important that I joined him at the tomb of Kamashek as soon
19:41
as possible, at least so I thought, until I entered the main building
19:45
of the airport again and heard my name being called on the PA system.
19:48
The information desk showed me where to take a transatlantic phone call, Johnny Dollar
19:57
Dollar, This is Eric turn Well. Well, thank goodness I was able
20:02
to reach you during your passed up. I'm glad you did, mister Turnbull,
20:04
because there are a couple of things I want to talk to you about
20:07
when you returned. Mister Donald, what's the matter with right now? And
20:11
I suggested to take the first plane back here first. I want a little
20:15
explanation for a beating I just took from Wait a minute, Wait a minute,
20:19
what did you say? Come back here and we'll settle our accounts.
20:22
The case is closed. What Donald is dead? Where? How? I
20:30
just received word from one of the members of the expedition in Egypt. Yes,
20:33
the curse of cover check has been fulfilled or was he murdered. I'm
20:38
afraid it was the same mysterious death that's overtaken so many who violated those old
20:45
tombs. Well, I don't believe it any more than you believe in that's
20:48
so called curse. The last time I talked to you, I know I
20:52
was wrong. Heaven forgive me for letting the boy go. Look, mister
20:56
Turnbull, things just don't make sense at all. Come back, mister Dollar.
21:00
I'm going to talk about it here. Listen to me before I decide
21:03
what I'm going to do. I want to know why you hired a thug
21:06
to try to put me out of the picture. What I don't know what
21:10
you're talking about? Oh you don't. Well, he made it plenty,
21:12
playing that he's handled strong armed jobs for you before. That gave me your
21:15
name as the man who's hired him many times. Frederick turned. Oh hold
21:22
it, hold it a minute. Dollar. I'm very sorry, but maybe
21:26
I will go back to New York. At that, mister Dollar, it
21:32
suddenly dawned on me that I must have been slightly befuddled by the partial beating
21:37
i'd taken earlier. You know, when the thug made his little confession a
21:41
few minutes before now talk, not talk. It was try and Blow hired
21:45
me Frederick tryan Blow, Frederick turn Blow, he said, instead of Eric
21:49
Turnbull. Sure they sound alike, but a guy who's done a lot of
21:55
strong arm jobs knows the guy the right name of the guy that hired him.
21:59
That can mean only one thing. Someone had instructed that Doug to say
22:03
he'd been hired by Turnbull. But who I cancel out the rest of my
22:11
flight to Cairo, made reservations back to New York, and then while waiting
22:14
for that plane, ran up item thirteen eighty two dollars American on phone calls
22:18
to whoever I could dig up among the Egyptian government authorities who had been overseeing
22:22
the excavation of Kamashek's tomb. What little I learned was pretty much summed up
22:26
by the British doctor who'd been a member of the expedition. Very mysterious,
22:30
mister Donna. You see, because of the superstition about violating the tomb,
22:34
only two of our people even touched any of the bones we found within it.
22:37
Yeah, and incidentally, that is always found the tom had been dally
22:42
ransacked by thieves were probably centuries ago. Yeah, but you were saying,
22:47
doctor, Oh, yes, yes, only two touched any of the remains.
22:51
One was a native carrier as soon as the bones had been properly sprayed
22:55
where they preserve it. Huh. And the other was Donald Cronin, who,
22:59
for some reason or other wrapped up the bones and sent them by her
23:02
to his uncle. Ah, mister Eric Turnbull in the United States. Oh
23:07
well, go on, go on. Well that's really all, mister Donald,
23:11
except, of course, that both of them have died of unstrange malady
23:15
that the authorities have not been able to determine, and that's why the tomb
23:18
is being officially closed again. Hey, listen, tell me something that the
23:22
bones have been accessible to anyone before those two touched them, Yes, to
23:26
anyone in the party. Don't tell me that. Oh listen, mister,
23:30
I don't know what I suspect, but I don't believe it was any curse
23:33
of a long dead pharaoh that killed those two men, even in view of
23:38
what happened to those who entered the tutant common for some years ago. And
23:42
then the tu tell me this, will you have any of the expedition returned
23:47
to America? Of course, the authorities have here no reason beholding them.
23:51
You haven't answered my question. No, we only the two young men that
23:55
Donald brought along with you. They Carl fortinah See from New York, like
24:00
Donald himself, he's an archaeologist and the other why of his colleagues at the
24:04
museum in U I believe it's in Stamford. What's his name? He's a
24:11
young arteological expert, son of a curator at the museum, as I recall
24:15
what and his name is Walter Harkman's. Well, i'll be but surely you
24:21
don't doctor him. You go right ahead and hang those two desks on good
24:23
old King komaschek me. I'm going after a couple of live suspects. There
24:34
was plenty of time before the New York plane for a quick look for my
24:37
heavy handed pal in the alley where I left him, but he'd either crawled
24:42
away and picked up other gendarmes, and I didn't have time for a session
24:45
with him, and am fourteen one fifty for some food and aboard the plane
24:49
and we took off. Ah. It was a rough case to figure actually,
24:56
of course, the insurance angle was done and over with, had ended
25:00
with Donald Cromin's death, and two people would benefit by his death, both
25:03
of the number one suspects, one his uncle Eric Turnbull, who would now
25:08
take over the million dollar estate, the other Dorothy Harkness, who would gain
25:11
a big chunk of life insurance money along with the museum. Of course that
25:15
her father ooh hold everything, her father Adam Harkness, who opposed her marriage
25:21
to Donald, who looked on him simply as a source of income for the
25:23
museum, who hold everything is right? There was the son to Walter Harkness,
25:30
who ducked back to the States the men of Donald died. How did
25:33
he fit into this? Believe me? In spite of all the talking and
25:37
the belief in it, the one thing I was sure had nothing to do
25:38
with the whole matter was the curse of Kamashek. Nevertheless, call it hunch
25:42
or whatever you like. The more I thought about it, the more certain
25:45
I became that I'd find all the answers in the package that Donald had mailed
25:49
back to the States, a package containing the bones of feral Kamashek. Yah
26:04
Oh, mister Dollar, Hello Haskins, mister Turnbull. Then yes, and
26:10
I'm sure he wishes to see you what's a frightful thing about? Master Donald?
26:14
How does mister Turnbull feel about it? Terribly broken up? I'll bet
26:18
hope it, But please come in. He's in the library. Nice.
26:22
He just perceived to package the poor boys sent to him before he quired Haskins.
26:26
As he opened a jet. He was examining the contents when the door
26:29
bell it good heavens, mister Turnbull, he's fallen from his chair, mister
26:37
donor, mister Dollar, he's oh yeah, Haskins, he's dead. Now
27:02
here's our star to tell you about the final episode of this week's story.
27:06
Before I do, please let me thank you for the letters you keep sending
27:08
us about the program. So many come in every day that it's become quite
27:11
a schory to answer them. But you know something, I love it.
27:15
As a matter of fact, your letters are appreciated by all of us who
27:18
are involved in the production and presentation of the show, our director, the
27:22
writers, the various members of our cast, and our excellent technical crew.
27:26
So please don't stop tomorrow. The wind up and a sorry example of what
27:30
the luss for money can sometimes do to nice people. Join us, won't
27:34
you yours? Truly? Johnny Dollar? Yours Truly Johnny Dollars Storry Bob Bailey's
28:00
transcribed in Hollywood. It is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone, who also
28:06
wrote this week's story. Be sure to join us tomorrow night, same time
28:10
and station for the next exciting episode of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, Roy Rowan
28:18
speaking welcome back. I kind of wish Johnny would have called and urged his
29:21
employer to not open the package since his son had died from it. It
29:33
seems like a common sense thing. And but then again, this one,
29:37
I'm a little bit nervous about how to turn out. In the first three
29:41
parts I think were particularly interesting. This last part is taken some odd turns,
29:47
and well, I have to see how part five goes, because I
29:49
know that Jack Johnstone does seem to struggle with fifth parts. We'll have to
29:56
see how this turns out. In part five. I've got an idea.
30:00
I think in some cases the death of Eric makes this a whole lot simpler.
30:06
But we'll see what Jack Johnstone has for us. All right, Well,
30:10
before we go, I do encourage you to support the show at support
30:12
