  Speaker 1: On May 23, 1949, Lux Radio Theater brought its 659th
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: broadcast to CBS. This evening's presentation adapts the 1948 Columbia
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Pictures film To the Ends of the Earth, with Dick
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Powell and Sina Hasso returning to their screen roles as U.S.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Treasury narcotics agent Mike Barrows and Anne Grant. Barrow's investigation
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: begins after an encounter with a suspicious freighter off the
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: California coast. From San Francisco, it follows clues tied to
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: an opium smuggling organization across an international route, Shanghai, Cairo, Havana,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and New York, where officials and uncertain loyalties complicate his pursuit.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: The source story and screenplay.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Were by J. Richard Kennedy.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: William Keeley produced the Lux broadcast. Lever Brothers brought the
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: program to the air with Lux Flakes. Now, back to
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the golden age of radio.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Presents Hollywood!
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Lever Brothers Company, the makers of Lutz Flakes, bring you
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: the Lutz Radio Theater, starring Dick Powell and Cigna Hasso
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: in To the Ends.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: Of the Earth. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. William Keeley.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. In our play tonight,
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: we take you on a trail of intrigue and suspense
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: that circles the globe. J. Richard Kennedy wrote the story
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: and screenplay of To the Ends of the Earth, and
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: we have the same stars you saw in the Columbia
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Pictures release, Dick Powell and Signe Hassel. At one time
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: or another in my travels, I think I have visited
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: most of the fascinating and exotic places of tonight's exciting story.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: And there's one thing I can assure you you'll find everywhere.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: Lux Flakes. Proof enough that Lux Flakes have made a
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: hit not just to the American housewife, but in Saigon
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: and Singapore and to the ends of the earth. Here's
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: the first act of our play, starring Dick Powell as
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Mike and Signe Hasso as Anne Grant.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: United States Department of Treasury. To most of us, that
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: means the place that makes the money. That green stuff
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: we scramble to get and then give back so cheerfully.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: But the Treasury Department's a lot more than that. It's
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: the Coast Guard, Secret Service, Alcohol Tax Unit, Narcotics. That's
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: where I work, narcotics. My name, by the way, is
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Michael Barrow, and I work out of the San Francisco office.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: And this is the story of how I learned about
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: an innocent, pretty little flower.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: The poppy.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: It's not the kind of poppy you've seen. After this
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: one blooms and the petals fall, the pod is ripe.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: When you bleed that pod and the liquid that oozes
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: out is processed, the finished product is opium. One day
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: before the war, my assistant, Harry Hart, brought in a
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: teletype from my boss in Washington, Commissioner Anslinger.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: He's in a ship, Mike. A freighter. Been trying to
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: make a landing along the South American coast.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Well, what ship? No name or markings. It's being driven north.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Been spotted off Peru and Mexico. Might try for a
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: landing around here to refuel or something.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, I'll contact the coast guard. Just a routine check,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: but I thought I'd tag along when two days later
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: the Coast Guard spotted the freighter. Must have been hiding
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: in one of the island coves and.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Now was making a run to sea.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: She was still in our 12-mile limit. If she could
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: get out, she'd be protected by international law. The captain
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: signaled her to stop.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: She's caught our signal, Burroughs, but she's putting on more speed.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Go ahead, Mr.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Adams.
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: Fire one over the bow.
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: Fire!
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: The shot didn't faze her. We kept on her tail,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: acting like we meant to board her and see what
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the bluff would do. She was past the 12-mile limit now.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I was alone at the rail, trying to pick up
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: something through the binoculars. Suddenly, I saw a scramble on
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: her deck, the crew and about 100 men.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: What happened then was almost.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Impossible to believe.
• 4:29
  Speaker 8: They were pushing those hundred men overboard. Men who were
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: chained together, dropping into the sea and disappearing. It was
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: all over in less than a minute. I told the
• 4:38
  Speaker 8: skipper what I'd seen. I asked him to catch up
• 4:40
  Speaker 8: with her, at least let me get a better look.
• 4:42
  Speaker 8: The deck was now empty, just the captain on the bridge.
• 4:45
  Speaker 8: A face I'd never forget.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Then we turned back and circled the spot where I'd
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: seen the men go down. And out of the water
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: came the only piece of evidence that said I hadn't
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: dreamed the whole thing. A life preserver. It told me
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: that the ship was the Kirimuru out of Shanghai. Six
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: days later, I was in Shanghai. The office of the
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Japanese consulate.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: A most shocking story, Mr.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: Barrowson. But unfortunately, we have no record of a Japanese
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: ship named Kira Maru.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: You don't believe what I've told you.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: It is strange that you alone should see a hundred
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: men murdered.
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: The Kira Maru was too far off. I saw what
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: happened through the binoculars. Your word is good enough, Mr. Barrows.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: We will take action against the captain of the Kira Maru.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: So they brought him to trial. He wasn't there to
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: defend himself, of course, and they couldn't be sure that
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: such a man even existed. But they passed sentence.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: This court, having carefully considered the testimony, finds the defendant
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: guilty and sentences him to a prison term of 30 days.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: 30 days?
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: In America, that's what you get for reckless driving. Such
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: sentence to be carried out when and if the accused
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: is apprehended. Thank you, Mr. Barrows. That is all.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: I cabled Ann Slinger that I was licked and coming home.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I was in the hotel, packing my bag, when I
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: had a visitor. A Chinese gentleman.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: I saw you in court, Mr. Barrows. I followed your
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: story with great interest.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Why? Who are you?
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: One who has always thought that the climate in parts
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: of South America was admirably suited to the growing of
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: the opium puppy. The men you saw murdered were slaves
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: intended for such work.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Slaves, huh?
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: You would recognize that captain again if you saw him?
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: I would.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Three days ago, a Japanese captain was landed here illegally
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: from a fishing boat. Why would such a man take
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: employment here in Shanghai as a rickshaw runner?
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Where would I find him?
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: We'll get to that, Mr. Barrows. These slaves you say
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: you saw. Six months ago, in Egypt, a Chinese coolie
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: escaped from a ship called the Kila Maruq. Before he died,
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: he gave some information to a British gentleman named Hadley.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Look, if you know anything about that captain, I.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: This also may interest you. The coolie told Mr. Hadley
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: that he was one of 200 slaves brought to Egypt
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: to plant a large field of poppies. Where? For whom
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: he did not know. But he mentioned their name.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: Hawks.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Gene Hawks. The slave said Gene Hawks was a sign,
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: a code. Maybe a man, maybe a woman, maybe an organization.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: He also said that the harvest of that poppy field
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: would be sent here to Shanghai for refining.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: This man Hadley, who is he?
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: The British narcotics commissioner in Cairo.
• 7:17
  Speaker 9: Oh.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, then it's official information. How did you get it?
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: I think this will answer all questions. This cablegram. It
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: arrived at my office. But it's for you. From Washington. Hmm.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: You are talking to Lung Chee Chow, Chinese commissioner of narcotics.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: You rush to Shanghai a little impulsively, but you may
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: stay to do yourself some good. Anslinger.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: You see, I too have cabled Mr.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Anslinger. Glad to know you, Commissioner.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Now, about Egypt. Two hundred slaves plant a poppy field.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: Six months later, you count one hundred off the California coast.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Certain facts begin to come together. Only a hundred would
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: be needed to harvest the crop. The others were loaded
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: back on the Hiromaru for South America. What's that got
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: to do with the man you were going to help
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: me find? If that rickshaw runner is the captain of
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: the Hiromaru, he's the only link I have. between Egypt
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: and the refining of that opium here in Shanghai.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Well, why let the stuff get here? Why not round
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: it up in Egypt before it's harvested?
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: The British and Egyptians have been searching for months.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: And you're expecting raw opium from poppies they can't find
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: to show up here?
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: And very soon.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: How do you know?
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: From the poppies grown there legally for medicinal purposes planted
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: about the same time. In Egypt, the harvest must be
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: completed within five days or the pods will rot.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: A poppy field that no one can find? A story
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: from a dying coolie slave? You expect me to swallow that?
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: I swallowed a hundred slaves going overboard in chains off
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: the California coast.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, okay, Commissioner. Now, suppose I see that rickshaw runner.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Not until you agree to take orders from me.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry. I only work on cases when I
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: believe in them.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: I will compromise. For just five days, pretend to believe
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: and follow my orders. After five days, the case is
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: finished or there is no case. At that time, the
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: Japanese ship captain becomes your private property.
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: Okay, okay.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: Where do we start? At Sokim Hong, the largest rickshaw
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: station in the city. It is owned by Nicholas Sokim.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: Let me tell you about.
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: It.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: The next morning, I call on Nicholas Sokim. Here in America,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: if you want to go somewhere, you call a taxi.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: In Shanghai, you call a rickshaw. It's big business. I
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: told Mr. Sokim that my name was Brent. And I
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: was in the rug business. But I was looking for
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: a Japanese.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: Who recently went to work as a rickshaw driver. I've
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: gone through all our records, Mr. Brent.
• 9:48
  Speaker 10: And my assistant, Mr. Krieg, has checked every man we employ.
• 9:52
  Speaker 10: We have no Japanese working here.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, thanks, Sokim. You've been very cooperative.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: I won't stop looking. If I find anything, I'll call
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: your hotel. I was about.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: to leave when a young woman walked up. Good looking,
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: well dressed. Holding on to her hand was a Chinese girl. I, uh.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: I beg your pardon.
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: I've been looking for Mr.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: Shannon. Shannon, uh, Shannon's Voltours.
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: Yes, I understood they would start from here.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Mr.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Grieg.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, sir.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: Shannon's Voltours. Have they been here for rickshaws today?
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: They're scheduled for tomorrow morning, sir.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: Oh, I see. Well, thank you very much.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: Come, Schubert.
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: Come along, dear.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I walked back to the hotel, and so did they.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: But it was so Kim I was thinking about. I
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: was sure I'd never hear from him again. I was
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: in my room trying to figure the next move when
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: the phone rang.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Hello? This is Sokim.
• 10:40
  Speaker 10: The man you want lives in a rooming house number 17.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Berry Alley.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: What's his name?
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: He goes by the name of Sego. I'm afraid that's
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: all I can do. Thanks.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: I waited for over an hour in Berry Alley. Then
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: I saw him come out. The man I'd come 6,000
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: miles to find. Captain Sego. It was easy following him.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: He led me straight back to my own hotel, to
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: the desk clerk.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Oh, Mr.
• 11:12
  Speaker 10: Shannon is expecting me of the Shannon World Tours.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: What is his room number, please? 506, sir. Elvato's to
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: the left.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Shannon World Tours. This morning, it was the good-looking girl
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: who had mentioned Shannon World Tours in front of Sukim.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, I was just wondering if any American tours happen
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: to be in town.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir. Shannon's World Tours. What's his schedule?
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Here's one of his folders, sir.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: It's on here. Big car? No, rather small. Seven or
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: eight Americans, sir.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Ten minutes later, I tailed Captain Sago back to 17
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Berry Alley. Itching to lay my hands on this murderer.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: But he wasn't my private property yet. Not for four
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: more days. Back in Lum's office, we looked for Shannon's
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: pedigree in the narcotics code book. It was Lum who
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: spotted him.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: Here's your man, Mr. Barrows. A little younger than the
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: photograph in the travel folder, but here he is.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Only here he's listed as Shea. Shea instead of Shannon.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: What's it say about him? World travels, huh? A dodge
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: to make narcotic smuggling easier.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Tomorrow morning, join that party of tourists for the day.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Memorize their faces.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: There's one I have memorized. The good-looking girl who came
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: to Sokim's this morning.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Let's hope she'll be there tomorrow morning, too.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: A pleasant day's work ahead, a tour of Shanghai, a
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: chat with my American companions as we drove along in
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: time to study every face. There was a stop at
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: the Willapurton Tea House for refreshments. My first real chance
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: at those two I'd seen yesterday looking for Shannon, the
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: girl and her young Chinese companion.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Well, it's rather crowded in.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: Here, isn't it?
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: What?
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, yes.
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: Yes, it is.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: Do you mind those flowers? Isn't that a rosa chinensis?
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: You see, I go in for roses. My name's Brent.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I travel for a rug firm.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: How do you do?
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Your little friend here, she seems so unhappy. I hope
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: she isn't ill.
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: Choupin speaks English.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know.
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: Well, it's quite all right.
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: You see, the Japanese bombed and captured Choupin's village. They
• 13:16
  Speaker 7: took her family away, and it happened only a few
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: weeks ago.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, I see. Choupin, huh? Well, now, that's a nice name, huh?
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I think I'll just call you Princess. I didn't get
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: your name.
• 13:28
  Speaker 9: Her name is Mrs.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Anne Grant.
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a nice tour, isn't it, Mrs. Grant? You're
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: going all the way to.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: The States, Princess?
• 13:35
  Speaker 9: Yes, to San Francisco.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: Well, what do you know?
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: That's my hometown. I think you're both very lucky to
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: be going there. Oh, Mrs.
• 13:41
  Speaker 9: Grant isn't going.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: You're staying in China?
• 13:44
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Yes, I am.
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: Chopin, come along, dear. I promised Miss Harrison that.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: You'd... The well-known brush-off. Interesting and a little mysterious, this Mrs. Grant.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: And exactly why was she staying in China? Well, what
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: little I learned went into my pocket notebook. I couldn't
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: risk remembering every minor detail, and minor details might prove
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: very important. Our last stop for the day was at
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: the temple. When we came out, it didn't seem too
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: unusual that the wheel of my rickshaw should break down,
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: or that.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: Shannon himself should offer to walk me back to the hotel.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: Tell me, Mr.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Brandt, didn't you lose something this afternoon? This is yours,
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: isn't it, this notebook?
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: Yes, it is. What did you say your business is?
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: Oriental rugs. Strange you'd make these notes about my guests.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: Or are you really a census taker?
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I have no idea. Let's get back to the street, huh? Oh,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: we will save a lot of time down this alley. Now,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: what did you want those names for?
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Talk fast, mister.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Who are you?
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: Now, before you get tough, Mr.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Shea, listen. You've been caught before. This time you'll do
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: five years unless you talk. About what? A ship named
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: the Kiramaroo.
• 14:51
  Speaker 11: I don't know what you're talking about, but I know
• 14:53
  Speaker 11: who you are, and I'm not going.
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: To let you pin a five-year stretch on me.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: They appeared out of nowhere.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: They're the four K's, little helpers.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: When I came to, I was lying on a dock
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: at the waterfront. It was almost dark. Bending over me
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: was Sir King's assistant, Mr. Greed.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: You'll be all right, Mr.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: Brent.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, Greed. You're a very lucky man.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Mr. Sir King had a hunch.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: This might happen. Well, what did happen?
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: Shannon was going to kill you. I followed him here.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: But he resisted.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Shannon's dead?
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: Yes. He was wearing this belt... It's unrefined opium.
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Sakeem knew he had it somewhere.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: How? He called on Mr.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: Sakeem before your tour started.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Mr.
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: Sakeem told him he had no interest in smuggling narcotics.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Then what?
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Well, Shannon said this shipment was perfectly safe.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Straight off a Japanese boat. Did he say where it
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: was grown? I believe he mentioned Egypt. Where in Egypt?
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, I don't know, sir.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: I have no reveal, Mr. Brent.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: Perhaps I'd better take you to your hotel.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Well, if you don't mind, I'd like to stop at
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: a friend's first. Mr. Lum, 25 Peacock Lane.
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: Perhaps I'd better wait for you in the car, Mr.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: Brent.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: No, I'd like you to meet Mr.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Lum.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: And you can start telling me the truth. All right.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I don't understand. Well, maybe this will help you understand.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: Mr. Barrows.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Hello, Lum.
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: You better give me a hand.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: All right, Greig. Now get up and go in. I
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: had a very interesting tour, Lum.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: So I could see. You hit me. Why?
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: Yes, Mr. Barrows. Why? Well, listen to this.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: I tangled with Shannon this afternoon. It was not cold.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Woke up miles away on the river. Shannon's dead. At
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: least Mr. Greig says so.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: And that much I believe.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Mr. Greig, under Sokeen's orders, saved my life.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Sokeen did more. Here, take a look at this.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Raw opium.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Grieg says he found it on Shannon. Opium from the
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Kiramaroo from Egypt.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: That's what Shannon said. You heard him say it? Well,
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: did you? Yes.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: You're a liar. The opium couldn't have been from Egypt
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: because poppies can't be harvested until a petal's fallen. They
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: fall this week, today maybe. The opium we're looking for.
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: Is still in Egypt.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Shannon got that from the Japanese captain. He got nothing
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: from the Japanese captain. Soking told the captain to lead
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: me to the hotel yesterday. I was supposed to hear
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: him say, Mr. Shannon's room, please. That was to throw
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: me off, to pen suspicion on Shannon.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: And then Mr.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Soking saves my life. Throws me some narcotics that could
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: have been Shannon's or anybody's.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Then you think Mr. Soking is interested in narcotics? He's
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: got to be.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: And ten to one, that refining equipment you're looking for
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: is somewhere in Sokin's rickshaw station.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: I'll phone the police. They can take up Mr. Grieg,
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: arrest Captain Segoe, and later we'll raise Sokin's strength.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Later? Why not now?
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: Because first I want to know more of what happened today.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: This way, Mr. Grieg. Well, that's about it, Lum. Here,
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: hear the names of everyone in the party. It will
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: be well to question them all. Except Mrs.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Grant.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: Why not?
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Well, I told you that Shannon's tour is leaving Shanghai,
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: but Mrs. Grant is staying. That means she couldn't be
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: tied up with him.
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: But she could be tied up with Sokim, waiting the
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: arrival of the opium from Egypt.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Then if she's half as smart as you think she is,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: she won't talk. You'll get nothing out of her. But
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: I think I can, through the Chinese girl.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Good. Now, about Sokeen's place, you ready to rate it?
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, now I am ready. While that's going on, have
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: the police pick up Mrs. Grant. Be sure they leave
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Choupin in the hotel.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: You are not coming with me on the length?
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: No, I think I'll learn more in the hotel with Choupin.
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: Before we bring your act.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: Two to the ends of the earth.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Here's Libby Collins, our Hollywood fashion reporter.
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: You know, John, girls who are going to college this fall,
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: or who are in college now, will get a lot
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: of good ideas from Jean Peter's wardrobe, and.
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: It happens every spring.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: And will chemistry professors get ideas about becoming baseball players
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: like Ray Moland?
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: Well, better get Jean's opinion on that. She was a
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: co-ed herself not so long ago. Incidentally, she's just.
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: Left for St.
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: Louis with other stars from the studio for the picture's
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: premiere on the 26th.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: She plays the daughter of the president of the university.
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: So 20th Century Fox made a careful check... of what
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: the well-dressed co-eds are wearing... before designing jeans costumes. Her
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: wardrobe for It Happens Every Spring includes lots of lovely
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: blouses for her suits and, of course, separate sweaters and skirts.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: Hmm, sounds like a luxable wardrobe.
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: It is, and so true to college life.
• 20:01
  Speaker 7: Luxe flakes are as popular on college campuses as they
• 20:04
  Speaker 7: are in Hollywood studios.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: That's easy to understand.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: These tiny diamonds of Lux whip into suds fast.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: And what girl isn't always in a hurry?
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: The suds are wonderfully thick and rich, too. So much
• 20:18
  Speaker 7: college washing is done in the bathroom basin, girls appreciate
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: the way luxe flakes float away soil.
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: With gentle squeezing.
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: Besides, allowances can't stand expensive cleaning bills, so luxe flakes
• 20:31
  Speaker 7: are the rule for everything safe in water alone. Blouses, sweaters,
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: nice cottons, and washable prints.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: An easy way for any woman to keep things fresh
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: and attractive, especially in warm weather. Luxe Flakes are another
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: fine product of Lever Brothers Company.
• 20:50
  Speaker 7: With Luxe Flakes care, you can freshen things in no time.
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: And your favorite washables stay lovely far longer.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: Now, your producer, Mr. William Keeley. Act two of To
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: the Ends of the Earth, starring Dick Powell as Mike
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: and Signe Husso as Anne Grant. To the Ends of the.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Earth And so while Lum and the police were raiding
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Sokeem's Rickshaw station and Mrs. Grant was being held at
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: headquarters for questioning, I went to her room to the hotel.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: A Chinese girl from Pan opened the door.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, Mr. Grant.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Well, hello, princess. Is Mrs. Grant in?
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: She went out.
• 21:33
  Speaker 9: She was very upset.
• 21:35
  Speaker 12: The tour is not sailing to America.
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: Yes, I heard about that.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: I thought I could help you get to San Francisco
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: some other way. I.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Oh, I bet you've known Mrs. Grant a long time, huh?
• 21:45
  Speaker 9: Only a year, Mr.
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: Grant.
• 21:46
  Speaker 9: She was my governess back home in Pan Yin after
• 21:49
  Speaker 9: her husband died.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's too bad. I suppose Mr. Grant was a
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: teacher or a missionary?
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: An engineer.
• 21:55
  Speaker 9: They were married in America.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: Mrs.
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: Grant used to tell me all about.
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: Good evening.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: Oh, hello, Mrs. Grant.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: I was just talking to.
• 22:03
  Speaker 7: Oh, Shupan, I'm sorry, dear, but I forgot to stop
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: in the lobby. Will you see if there's any mail, please?
• 22:08
  Speaker 9: Yes, of course.
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: Thank you, dear. And now, Mr. Brent, what are you
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: doing here?
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Weren't you called at the police station about Shannon? Why, yes.
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: They sent me back here to get my papers.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Well, I knew Choupin was alone. I thought I could
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: cheer her up a little. Strange kid. She can't be
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: more than 13 or 14.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: Yet time.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: At times, she looks much older.
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: Yes, that's what death and bombs will do to a child.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Suppose I could help you, Mrs.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Grant. How about two tickets on the clipper?
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: It's very kind of you, but I'm not going to America.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: You want to stay in China?
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: Yes, I do.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Well, I guess you have your reasons.
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: The children of this country have a right to live.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: You're kind of young to bury yourself in Pan Yan.
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: What else did Shupan tell you, Mr.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: Brent?
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: Something about my husband, perhaps?
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: She mentioned him, yes.
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: He was killed by Japanese bombs while doing a job
• 23:03
  Speaker 7: for China. I intend to finish that job as best
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: I can.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Why not go back home and tell Americans about China?
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Raise barrels of money for thousands of shoe pans. Or
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: maybe there's something else. You don't want to talk about it.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: What makes you think so?
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Because if shoe pan means to you what you say
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: she does.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: After a point, she doesn't.
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: And as soon as you realize.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: I'll take it.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: Hello?
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: It's rather important that you come to Sokin's, Mr. Brandt.
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: That is. If you're finished.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: I'll be right over. Oh, uh, that was those people
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: who sent for you, Mrs.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: Grant.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: While I'm there, I'll try to make some arrangements. I'm
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: sure everything's going to be all right.
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: We'd made a good guess about Sokim. Upstairs, over the
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: shed where the Rickshaw drivers lived, was equipment enough to
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: refine half the opium in Asia. Only Mr. Sokim wasn't
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: there to tell us about it. He'd swallowed poison... Mr.
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Sokim was dead.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: So, actually, we have learned very little, Mr. Peros. He
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: died before I could question him.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Oh, we should never have moved in on him. We
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: should have waited until the opium from Egypt had arrived.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Once you knocked Mr. Big down, there was little else
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: we could do.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. I made a bad mistake.
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: Oh, in my time, I made a few myself. Sokim
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: was afraid.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: Afraid of what?
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: Mr. Barrows, for years there's been an organization in China
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: operating in drugs, backed by the Japanese high command. Why?
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: Because drugs eat away a people's will to resist, and
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: conquest becomes easy. And the brains of this organization? Citizens
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: of all nations. Fanatical Sukims who believe in conquest. The
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: degenerates who can be bought to do this filthy work
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: for the Japanese high command. But let someone fail. Sukim failed. Suicide.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: So Kim's death will warn the others that raw opium
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: will never come here now.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: I am sending So Kim's papers to Cairo immediately. A
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: bare possibility they will yet find the poppy field. It
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: is my hope that you will take them.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sorry, Lam. I know it was my blunder
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: that finished the case here, but it is finished.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: What about Mrs.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Grant?
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: For a year and a half before coming to China,
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: she was in Egypt. The visas and dates on her
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: passport need no doubt of it.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: Look, look. Any decision on my going to Egypt would
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: have to be made by my boss.
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: Mr. Anslinger and I have exchanged several messages. Oh. He's
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: quite willing that you should call.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: One step ahead of me right down the line. Excuse me. Yes?
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: This is Captain Singh. We have just released Mrs.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Grant.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: Thank you. She wishes to leave at once for San
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: Francisco with suit planned.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: One moment, please.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: Mrs. Grant wishes to go to San Francisco. She told
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: you that?
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: She told me she was staying in China. Where? Let
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: her go. Our men there can watch her the moment
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: she lands.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: We think she should go, Captain.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: I was met in Cairo by the Egyptian and British
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: narcotics commissioners, Amah Hassan and Lionel Hadley. Hassan went to
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: work on Sukim's papers while Hadley broke the unhappy news
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: that this was the last day of.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: The poppy harvest.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: All he was sure of was the route the opium
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: would take when it left Egypt.
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: Take a look at the map, Mr.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Barrows.
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: We know the poppy field is somewhere in this area.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: If so, the only logical way out of Egypt with
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: the raw opium would be across the Suez Canal. And
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: the nearest crossing of the canal is here.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: And if all the harvest hasn't been moved, what's left
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: will go tonight?
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: I'm afraid so.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Did you check on Mrs.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: Grant? Yes, she and her husband left Cairo ten months ago.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: No record of where they went. Well, I've examined Sookin's papers.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: One lonely clue, gentlemen. This letter. Not the contents, but
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: the handwriting. What about it, Hassan? It's written in English.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: But the men who wrote this letter first learned to
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: write in Arabic.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: There are certain characteristics.
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: I examined the paper itself. Made in France. French paper
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: isn't sold in Egypt. But it is sold in the
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: French Mandate, such as Lebanon.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: But I thought the party field was in Egypt. Where
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: does Lebanon come in? Lebanites. We have many.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: Wealthy Lebanites with estates in Egypt, especially in the suspected area.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: Suppose we run the film again.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: We have motion pictures of some of the Lebanon estates, Mr. Barrows.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: Let's look them over. This is the last reel, Mr.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Burroughs.
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: The estate you're looking at now belongs to Ali Yusuf.
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: Ten acres of roses.
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: Grown for perfume.
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: Hmm.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: What kind of roses? They don't look like much from
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: the air. Rosa Santa, probably. You're a rose fancier?
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, I certainly am. I'd like to get a cutting
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: of that Rosa Sancta to take home with me.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: This next estate belongs to Jaffa Pasha.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: Maze and cotton, easily identified. And now, we move to
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: the uplands.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: Uplands?
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: How do they get the water? Pipe over from the Nile.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Drawn up by pumps. That's a bit of engineering.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: And now this estate is at the edge of the
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: Bayadere Plateau, the property of Bindeshah.
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: 30 acres of roses for perfume.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: Artificial irrigation, huh? A very modern job was done up
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: there about two years ago.
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: You wouldn't remember that engineer's name. I'm afraid not. Cheer up, Barrows.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: That's what we all need.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Is a drink.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: How far is it to this Bindershah's place?
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: Oh, three hours back, huh?
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: I'd like to have a specimen of that road. Bindershah
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: would never let you go near the place. It's strictly
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: against Muslim law.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: That's why we had the photograph in the air. Why
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: couldn't I climb one of those cliffs? You're not serious.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: Why not? Well... Even if you didn't break your neck climbing,
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: Bindeshaw would break it for you when you got to
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: the top.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Oh, it'd be dark by the time I got there.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Mind if I borrow your car? Nothing could prevent Hadley
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: and Hassan from coming with me. They knew it was
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: more than a rose I was after. And these were
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: the last desperate minutes of the last day. They were
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: ready to follow even this wild hunch of mine that
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: the irrigation system at Bindeshaw's had been installed by an
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: engineer named Grant. It was a clear night, and once
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: at the top of the cliff, we saw the almost
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: endless line of roses.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: We're getting too close to the house.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: And maybe dogs.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: We'd better leave.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: We found exactly nothing.
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: What did you expect to find?
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: I don't really know. But an engineer doesn't come all
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: the way from the United States just to install a
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: few pumps for growing roses.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: Unless.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, wait a minute. Alice, where are you going? I
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: had to take a look at that irrigated soil. It
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: had just been cultivated, too. My hunch was leaping around
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: like mad now, and then all of a sudden, the
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: almost unbelievable answer. There in the earth, almost covered, a
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: battered stem that had been hoed under just a little
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: while ago. Not a rose stem, but a stubby one,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: with a swollen pod at the end. Stem of the
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: opium poppy.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Poppy stems, planted, grown, and harvested.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Under the rose bushes. No wonder we couldn't detect anything
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: from the air.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: Well, now we know how the opium might be going through.
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: And perfume jars, cartons of rose petals. I should be
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: at the Suez crossing telling my men what to look for.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Suppose the last of the harvest is still here? Take
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: the car, Hassan.
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: Get to the crossing. What about you?
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: I'll keep looking here. I'll stay with you.
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: I'll be at the crossing in 30 minutes.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: I'll send some men back to watch for you.
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: Here, take my gun.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Thanks.
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Well, let's go, Barrows.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: We finally found what we were looking for. A barn
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: that held the entire secret... In it, stupefied with opium,
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: were what remained of the 200 slaves brought to Egypt
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: six months before on the Kira Maru. Also in the
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: barn were the vats where the gummy juice of the
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: poppy plant had been turned into raw opium. May I
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: ask what you are doing here? Bindasha. Yes. We've been
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: learning about the harvest of the Orpium party. Your knowledge
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: comes late. The harvest left here an hour ago. I
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: did not come alone, gentlemen.
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: I am well protected.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: We didn't come alone either. Your entire estate is surrounded.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: The best thing you can do is to tell us
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: where the Orpium is going. I have completely forgotten.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Order your men to put down their guns.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: Topka, I'll allow this.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: The men lowered their guns and disappeared. It seemed incredible
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: that Benda Shah should surrender so readily. We ordered him
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: ahead of us and walked back toward the cliff. Suddenly
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: he started running straight for the cliff and over it.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: A second fanatic like Sokin. Paying with his life for
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: fame and taking all information with him. By midnight, we
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: were at the Suez Crossing, only there wasn't a sign
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: of the opium. At dawn, Hassan's men came back from Dendeshaw's,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: where they'd searched the estate. Dendeshaw's private papers yielded nothing,
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: but out of the pump house came an interesting item,
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: an engineer's logbook. In the book was a snapshot. Well,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: who is she, Barrows? You seem to recognize her. Ah, Mrs.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: Grant.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Hmm. This logbook belonged to her husband.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Edwin!
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: Barrows!
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: Hassan?
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: It sounds exciting. The open shop. That's not news, Hassan.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: But I think I know where it is. Now, who
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: has left this crossing tonight? According to the customs, men,
• 32:21
  Speaker 4: no one's left here since six o'clock yesterday afternoon. What
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: about that camel driver I told you about? But you
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: said his camels weren't carrying anything. No, nothing on their backs.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: One native driver, ten camels.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Headed for Beirut, you said?
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: A camel driver said the price of camel hair and
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: hides has just gone up. He's taking them to a slaughterhouse.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: Then what makes you think... I just telephoned Beirut. Actually,
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: the price of camel hair and hides had gone down.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: The driver was lying. It is my opinion that the
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: opium is inside the camels, forced down their throats in
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: some sort of containers that will be removed at the
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: slaughterhouse in Beirut.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Fantastic.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: Any more fantastic than poppy plants growing under roses?
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: I suggest we get to Beirut, gentlemen, and wait for
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: the camels. Hadley put a couple of men on the
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: trail of the camel driver. We took over again near
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: the outskirts of Beirut. But this was French territory, and
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: helping us now was Emile Horissier, the French Carthaginian chief.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: It is vital, monsieur, that the camel driver never know
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: what that we suspect.
• 33:19
  Speaker 10: How can we examine his camels without his knowing?
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: He will find hundreds of camels at the end. And
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: men from the Department of Sanitation checking the beasts against disease.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: His ten camels.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: Along with all the others.
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: What he will not know is that only his camels
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: will be fluoroscoped.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: So you get suspicious.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: Undoubtedly.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: As a result, there will be no delay at the slaughterhouse.
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: Now, I suggest you wait at the hotel. I will
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: have the information you need sometime this afternoon. Well, monsieur,
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: I can now report... In the stomach of each camel
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: were many metal cartridges. You may be sure they contained
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: the opium grown on Bindeshah's estate. An estimated $ 100, 000 worth
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: in each piece. A million dollars all told. Where were
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: the camels taken? To a slaughterhouse owned by a man
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: named Agassiz. Forty minutes ago, a truck left the slaughterhouse
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: for the docks. It carried three bales for shipment. Then
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: let's get to the docks. We've got to know their destination.
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: One of my men already has that information.
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: The first bale went to a Mediterranean freighter addressed to
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: Monsieur L. Lexato, Athens, Greece.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: Greece.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: The second will go aboard a French ship bound for
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: Marseille and someone named Delier. The other bale went to
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: a Dutch freighter addressed to M. Branstadter, Havana, Cuba. We
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: can be fairly sure, monsieur, that a million dollars worth
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: of opium is in one of those bales.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: That night at dinner, we celebrated the first solid clue
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: that might take us eventually to the leader of Gene
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Hawk's ring.
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: That woman, monsieur Bell, the one in Shanghai. You told
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: me before you would show me her photograph. Oh, yes.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Here you are, Larissier. We found it in Grant's logbook.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: Ah, yes.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Yes, very beautiful.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: Intelligent, too.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Knew there were poppies growing at Ben Bichard's. Much too
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: intelligent to mention it.
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: And she is still in Shanghai?
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, she's not. Oh, by the way, Lauricie,
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: that man you're sending to Havana tomorrow, that's on my
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: way home. I'd like to follow that veil myself. Another hunch, Barrows? No, Hadley,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: this time it's information. I had a cable today from
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: my office in San Francisco.
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: Here.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Read it.
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: Anne Grant left San Francisco a few hours after arrival.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Destination, Havana, Cuba.
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: We pause now.
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: For station identification. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: After a brief intermission, we'll continue with Act Three of
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: To the Ends of the Earth. Our special guest tonight
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: is beautiful Lola Albright. Lola has just been handed a
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: new contract with Columbia Pictures.
• 36:29
  Speaker 9: I'm so thrilled, Mr. Keeley. I can hardly believe it.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: You know, they tell me at Columbia you've been a
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: very apt pupil.
• 36:34
  Speaker 12: Well, yes, I did study hard. But what I appreciated
• 36:37
  Speaker 12: most was the opportunity of going on the sets. That's
• 36:40
  Speaker 12: how I happened to see that terrific earthquake scene for
• 36:43
  Speaker 12: Lust for Gold. And I certainly was impressed.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: Really great picture. You know, Glenn Ford does a remarkable
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: job with an unusual characterization. There's something really different what
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: he's done here before on the screen.
• 36:55
  Speaker 12: And I loved Ida Lupino and the lovely costumes of
• 36:57
  Speaker 12: the 80s. And what a sizzling performance.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: And all those period costumes for Lust for Gold. They
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: must have given the wardrobe people a headache when they
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: were on location in Arizona.
• 37:07
  Speaker 9: The wardrobe mistress mentioned that.
• 37:09
  Speaker 12: But John Kennedy will be interested to know that the
• 37:12
  Speaker 12: company took along plenty of Luxe plates. Miss Lupino's embroidered stockings,
• 37:17
  Speaker 12: as well as her own nylons, survived beautifully.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: A matter of dollars and cents economy, Lola.
• 37:22
  Speaker 9: I can believe that. My own nylons are washed with
• 37:25
  Speaker 9: Lux Flakes, and they last for ages.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: You may not realize it, but that simple care is
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: giving you twice the wear. If you were to use
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: strong soaps or rub nylons with cake soap, they would
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: go into runs a lot sooner.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: Strain tests prove that.
• 37:39
  Speaker 9: To Lux them is certainly easy.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Just about the easiest care in the world. These tiny
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: diamonds burst into suds the instant water touches them. And
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: in no time at all, these thick, ripped suds make
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: stockings fresh and trim-fitting as ever.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Help protect the colors, too. Thank you for coming tonight, Lola,
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: all right? Here's your producer, Mr.
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: William Keeley. The curtain rises on the third act of
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: To the Ends of the Earth, starring Dick Powell as
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: Mike and senior hassle as Anne Grant.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: I was sure that the bale containing the opium was
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: the bale being shipped to Cuba. Or why was Mrs.
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: Grant going there? That's what I told the narcotics commissioner.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: In Havana, Alberto Barado.
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: It should not be difficult, Senor Barros. I will let
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: you know where she is, what she does, and whom
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: she sees.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, one person she will be seeing, I think, is
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: a fellow named Brandstetter. Know him?
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: A manufacturer of artist supplies, I believe. Brushes, things like that.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Getting the camel hair for his brushes from the Near East.
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: Only this shipment contains a million dollars worth of unrefined opium. Well,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: let him refine it. Let him ship it out with
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: his artist supplies. And then? Then I follow it.
• 38:53
  Speaker 11: A million dollars' worth of narcotics, and all I do
• 38:55
  Speaker 11: is help to see that it gets safely away?
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: A lot to ask, huh? Yes, senor.
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: A lot to ask.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: Verado worked fast. Before evening, he told me that Anne
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: Grant had reached Havana with Chupan. Two days later, the
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Dutch freighter arrived, and the bale of camel's hair was
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: now in Randstadter's possession. That night, in my room.
• 39:19
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Verado, well, Dave just.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: Booked passage here. The Cardillo? Well, there's no ship in Porto.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Called the Cardillo.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: She's off ship tomorrow, senor. Sails at noon the following day.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: I will have a report soon on every piece of
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: freight she is taking aboard.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Good. See you here in the morning. For 24 hours
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: without pause, Berardo and his men checked and rechecked the
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: cargo of the Cardeo. Absolutely nothing was being shipped by Branstadter.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: Not a ray of hope until three hours before sailing time.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: And then some last-minute cargo arrived on the dock. Artist
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: supplies from and Branstadter addressed to a man named Sharp,
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Maiden Lane, New York. A ray of hope that made
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: no sense. There wasn't a chance the opium was in
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: those boxes. The most routine checkup in the New York
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: customs would reveal it. It was too late now to
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: do anything but let Branstad get the Opium on board
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: his own way and take our chances of finding it.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: But right then, a couple of worried men got lucky.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: One of Berardo's lookouts on the dock came up to
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: report a very ordinary incident. The truck which had delivered
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: the boxes of artist supplies had stalled on the wharf.
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: But to look out, Hernando had been curious.
• 40:33
  Speaker 10: While one of the men worked on the motor, a
• 40:35
  Speaker 10: second man was tearing the wrappings off some packages in
• 40:38
  Speaker 10: the back of the truck. Where did it stall, Hernando?
• 40:40
  Speaker 10: Near the kitchen supplies being loaded on the ship, senor.
• 40:43
  Speaker 10: Cartons of butter. And when the wrappings came off Branstad's packages,
• 40:47
  Speaker 10: that's what they were. Three cartons of butter.
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: Exactly like the others.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Ah! Now we were getting somewhere. Three cartons of butter
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: containing a million dollars worth of opium were stored in
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: the ship's refrigerator, where one of Branstad's men, a member
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: of the kitchen crew, could watch it carefully. An hour
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: before sailing time, we saw them go aboard, Mrs. Grant,
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Shoe Pan, and Branstad. According to plan, there would be
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: a vacant cabin for me on sea deck, and waiting
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: for me, now posing as a ship's steward, was Hernando.
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: Do not worry, senor.
• 41:21
  Speaker 10: That refrigerator will be watched constantly from here to New York.
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: How?
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: By whom?
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: During nights by the baker, an old friend of mine.
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: During the day, the ship's butcher and the assistant chef.
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: Where's Randstadter's cabin and the others? On the upper deck, senor.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: B deck.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: Before dinner, Hernando had news for me.
• 41:39
  Speaker 10: Rastetter is no longer on VDX, senor. He complained about
• 41:42
  Speaker 10: his cabin. He's taken one right across the corridor from you.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: Then he knows I'm here.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: No, I don't think so. He inquired about all the cabins.
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: I merely told him this one was vacant. I think
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: he believed me. He's at dinner now, and I'm moving
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: his luggage.
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: Empty cabins aboard ship don't have locked doors. My door
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: was locked. Sooner or later, Branstad would have to know why.
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: Sooner or later, he'd... Oh, I beg your pardon. How
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: stupid of me. Yes? They gave me the wrong key.
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: I simply went to the number like a sheep.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: I'm very sorry. I don't believe we have met. I
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: came aboard ill. Oh, I'm very sorry to hear it.
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: Please forgive me.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Score for Branstadter. He'd never stop now until he knew
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: exactly who I was. A good chance I was a
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: narcotics agent. An outside chance I'd been on his trail
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: since China. A million to one shot, Mrs. Grant had
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: seen me there and would know who I was. He'd
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: have to bring Mrs. Grant to see me. But no
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: move by Branstadter until the following evening. You're off Cape Harris,
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: just 24 hours out of New York. I could hear
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: the ship's orchestra and the passengers, all very gay and friendly.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: What more perfect time for a man of finesse to
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: visit a poor shut-in.
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: And that's just what happened. Come in. Good evening.
• 43:14
  Speaker 11: We have brought you a little cheer from the captain's table. Oh,
• 43:17
  Speaker 11: and may I present... Hello, Mrs.
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: Grant.
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: You know each other? Why, yes.
• 43:22
  Speaker 9: Mr.
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: Grant and I... What a charming coincidence.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: We met in Shanghai, Mr.
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: Grant, sir.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: You seem to be feeling much better tonight.
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: Much better, yes.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: I'll be up and around tomorrow.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 43:33
  Speaker 11: Well, I really should be going back to the party.
• 43:36
  Speaker 11: Why don't you stay a while, Mrs.
• 43:37
  Speaker 6: Grant?
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: I'm sure you will have a lot to talk about.
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry you've been ill.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: No, just a touch of fever.
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: I picked it up in Egypt.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: I thought you went to San Francisco.
• 43:49
  Speaker 6: I did.
• 43:50
  Speaker 7: But you see, Choupin's uncle, Mr. Sue, had gone to
• 43:53
  Speaker 7: Havana on business. He insisted that we meet him there.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: And this Branstetter, the ship's acquaintance?
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: Yes, a business friend of Mr.
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: Sue.
• 44:00
  Speaker 6: He's been very kind to us.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, I see. Charming fellow. You're looking very well, Mrs. Grant.
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: I feel wonderful.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Mr.
• 44:09
  Speaker 6: Grant, remember the things you said to me in Shanghai.
• 44:13
  Speaker 6: I mean about coming back to the States. I know
• 44:15
  Speaker 6: now how right you were.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, good. Fine. Well, I don't want to keep you
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: from the party.
• 44:21
  Speaker 6: You sure you can't join us?
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: Tomorrow.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: We'll have a big day tomorrow.
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: Good night, Mr.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: Grant.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: In the morning, I joined Mrs. Grant and the others.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: A happy, chatty little group. Inseparable by lunchtime. Choupin gave
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: me a little pencil sketch of herself that one of
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: the passengers had made. The artist said there were lines
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: of suffering in her face. Mid-afternoon, less than an hour
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: from New York. But nothing was worrying Nicholas Branstad or
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: Anne Grant. I couldn't understand it. What if Branstad had
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: known who I was long before I got to Havana
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: and had set me on this false trail while he
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: got the narcotics on board some other way? This panic
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: of mine was growing every minute.
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: We were at the bar now, having a drink.
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: Someone said we'd be taking on the harbor pilot soon.
• 45:08
  Speaker 6: Maybe I'd better take Shoe Pan's baggage.
• 45:10
  Speaker 7: Oh, not yet, Mrs.
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: Grant. We have plenty of time.
• 45:13
  Speaker 11: Another drink, Mr. Grant, to our continued friendship.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: Then suddenly there was a commotion astern, a flurry of
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: excited voices and the faint odor of something burning. Don't
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: worry about it, ladies and gentlemen.
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: If you smell smolder, it's a little freeze fire in
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: the galley.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: Mrs.
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: Brandt, fire!
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: It's all right, it's all right, dear. You heard what
• 45:32
  Speaker 6: the officers said.
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: Incidentally, Mr.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: Brandt, why don't we all have dinner tonight on shore?
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: Oh, could you, Mr.
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: Brandt?
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Yes, princess, I think I could. But we'll be docking soon.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: I have a lot of things to do.
• 45:44
  Speaker 6: I'd better start my pack.
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: Maybe Choupin would like to watch the seagulls. See, they
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: are just off the stern, hundreds of them.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: But what are they doing? Having dinner, my dear. The
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: crew is throwing refuse food overboard. Come, let us go
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: and watch.
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: Oh, please, Mrs. Grant.
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: Oh, well, Choupin. All right, for a moment, maybe.
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: I rushed to find Hernando at fire in the galley.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: Hernando's words confirmed what I was dreading.
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: The cartons are empty, senor. Empty during the fire. Well,
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: where did the stuff go? What about our men down there? Well,
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: there was so much smoke, they could not see.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: Go back to the galley, Hernando. I'll see what our
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: friends are up to. I went out on deck. I
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: remember passing a lifeboat in a sudden instinctive mood to
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: ward off the blow, but I wasn't fast enough. When
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: I came to, I was lying in my cabin.
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: The ship's doctor was there.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: So was Hernando. So was Anne Grant.
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: I'm sure you will be all right, Mr.
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: Grant.
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: Quite a bump, but if you take it easy.
• 46:39
  Speaker 6: I'm not comfortable. Let me loosen your collar here.
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't worry that much about me, Mrs. Grant.
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: One of the crew was storing some gear in a lifeboat.
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: It slipped out of his hands just as you were
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: passing by. Careless of him, wasn't it? Well, I will
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: stop by later, Mr. Grant.
• 46:53
  Speaker 6: Are you sure you're all right?
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: Hadn't you better get back to your packing, Mrs.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: Grant?
• 46:57
  Speaker 6: Oh, I have plenty of time. Can't I help you?
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: Hernando can give me a hand. I'll see you later.
• 47:01
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, of course.
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: An accident?
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: No. No, I wasn't wanted up there, Hernando. What about
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: the galley?
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: Still no trace of the drugs.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: It's 525. I left Mrs. Grant in the lounge 20
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: minutes ago. She was going to pack. How did she
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: get here? How did she learn about it?
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: I heard some of the passengers mention your accident when
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: I started back from the galley. Suddenly the news was
• 47:22
  Speaker 4: all over the sheet. Look.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: Look, we're slowing down.
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: That means the pilot is coming aboard.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: Let's get down to the galley. We all but tore
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: that galley apart. No sign of the opium. The kitchen
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: crew wasn't of much help. Half of them couldn't speak
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: English or didn't want to. And then it dawned on me.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: That garbage that went over the stern. The fire starting
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: just about that time. Brandstatter wanting to watch the seagulls.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: I tore back up the companionway from Mrs. Grant's cabin.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: As I reached the deck, Chupin called to me.
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: Mr.
• 47:55
  Speaker 6: Grant!
• 47:56
  Speaker 5: Oh, Mr.
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: Grant!
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, what's the trouble, Chupin?
• 48:00
  Speaker 9: There is no trouble now, but when I couldn't find you,
• 48:03
  Speaker 9: I was so afraid.
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: You just disappeared.
• 48:06
  Speaker 12: I've been all over the ship looking for you.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: Well, now, isn't that funny? I was just trying to
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: find you. I want you to do something for me, Princess. I, uh... Well, I...
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: I'd like to talk to Ann alone, just for a
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: few minutes.
• 48:20
  Speaker 9: You like her, don't you, Mr.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: Branstad? Yes, yes, I do, very much. Oh, uh, Mr. Branstad,
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: I wanted my business address. I won't have time to
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: look for him, so I wrote him a little note.
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: While I'm with Ann.
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: Will you take this to his cabin?
• 48:33
  Speaker 9: Oh, I'll be glad to.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: And don't forget, come right back here and wait for me.
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: It was a short note. The seagulls didn't get everything,
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: did they? But it was a nice try. I signed
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: my real name, Barrows. I wanted to be in Mrs.
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: Grant's cabin when Branstetter read it. Well, hello.
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: Come on in.
• 48:54
  Speaker 6: The cabin's this side.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to tell you I won't be able
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: to have dinner with you and Branstetter tonight.
• 48:59
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's a shame.
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: Yes, isn't it?
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: So many things I wanted to ask you.
• 49:03
  Speaker 6: Well, we'll all meet in San Francisco.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, but some of this can't wait. For instance, about
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: your past life.
• 49:10
  Speaker 6: My past life?
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: And your husband. Tell me about him.
• 49:14
  Speaker 6: Just like that?
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: Yes. Quite a rough story, wasn't it? Or maybe it wasn't.
• 49:20
  Speaker 6: Not the last tear of it, no.
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: Really?
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: You seem so full of his memory in Shanghai. You
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: were going to stay in China to finish his work.
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: His work was something else.
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, so you approved of that, huh? An engineer believes
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: in building something. The point is what? We don't all
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: want to build the same thing. The Japanese high command,
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: for instance, they want to build one kind of world
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: and I want to build another.
• 49:40
  Speaker 6: Meaning what?
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: Meaning your husband, Jerome Grant. Quite a coincidence, this snapshot,
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: my picking it up in Egypt.
• 49:48
  Speaker 6: Where did you get it?
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: Where you played governess for Ben Deshar's children. Where your
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: husband was building better irrigation for better poppies.
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: That was his work.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: Helping to make a billion slaves of the next generation.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: I just want the answer to one question from you.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: When you were back at the stern watching the seagulls,
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: the opium went overboard with the garbage, didn't it? Didn't it?
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: And if that's your pal, then I'll know for sure.
• 50:13
  Speaker 6: Shall I answer it?
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: Pick up the phone, just say one word, hello, and
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: then give it to me.
• 50:17
  Speaker 9: Hello?
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: Mrs. Grant, this is Choupin. It's Choupin.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: Give it to me. Choupin?
• 50:23
  Speaker 4: I just couldn't wait, Mr.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: Grant.
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: What did she say?
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, everything's going fine, Princess. You just wait right there, huh?
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: That wasn't the one, Mrs. Grant.
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: Senor Barros! Senor Barros!
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: Come in, Hernando.
• 50:35
  Speaker 4: Branstad, you'd better come, senor. Stay here, Hernando. Watch her.
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: He's coming, senor.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: Hurry! Suicide. The third fanatic who paid for failure. But
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: Branstad's death told me many things I wanted to know.
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: While the ship's captain was fixing the approximate spot where
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: the opium had been thrown overboard, I was talking by
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: radio to Coast Guard.
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: I asked for boats to meet the Cardio as fast
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: as they could get to us. Here's a chart of
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: where the stunt went overboard, Mr. Paros.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: Within half a mile anyway.
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: A million dollars in opium at the bottom of the ocean.
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: But not for long, Captain. This stunt isn't exactly new.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: The opium will be in waterproof wrappings and attached to floats.
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: They'll be anchored on ropes, chemically treated. The salt water
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: will gradually eat away the ropes and the floats will
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: bring the drugs to the surface.
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: And you'll be there to pick it up?
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, unless somebody else beats us to it.
• 51:28
  Speaker 4: Better stand by, Mr. Barrows. Those launches will be alongside
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: in no time. They sent three launches. I took Anne
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: Grant with me and Choupin. She wouldn't be separated from us, so.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: I let her have her way. It was 10 or
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: 12 miles back to the spot, and the question was,
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: would we make it in time?
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: The ropes might have broken already. The stuff picked up.
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: And the rest of the gene hawks... Waterboat ahead, Mr.
• 51:53
  Speaker 5: Farrells.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: They're fishing something up out of the water. Well, don't
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: let them get away. I want them alive.
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: But if you've got to shoot.
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: I don't like that sound of you, sir.
• 52:01
  Speaker 11: Watch it, ladies.
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: Here we go.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: It was our three boats against their one. They might
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: have made a run for it, but they tried to
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: save the opium. A few minutes later, they surrendered. But
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: these were workmen, not leaders. Where was Gene Hawks? I
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: looked at the girl in my launch, and I had
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: the answer. The prisoners went aboard the other boats. I
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: took the narcotics, and with Mrs. Grant and Shoe Pan,
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: we cut away from the others and headed.
• 52:29
  Speaker 4: Directly for Customs. There were two Coast.
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: Guardsmen handling the launch. Their backs were to us when suddenly.
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: Subban! No!
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: Get back!
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: What's the idea, Princess? Put the gun down.
• 52:40
  Speaker 6: Tell him to make for a point a mile above
• 52:42
  Speaker 6: Conover Beacon. She grabbed his gun!
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: That same-ish gun!
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: Did you hear what I said?
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: Better head for shore, boys, a mile above Conover Beacon.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: That's an order, sir.
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: That's an order.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: Never heard of Gene Hawks, Mrs. Grant?
• 52:53
  Speaker 6: Gene Hawks?
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: The name that took those narcotics around the world.
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: Never heard of it, huh?
• 52:59
  Speaker 5: No.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: Amazing. Could be our baby-faced princess here.
• 53:04
  Speaker 9: I am 20 years old.
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: The Chinese girl for the honor and glory of Japan.
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: Tell him to go faster. The lady says to speed up, Skipper. Well,
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: what are you going to do? Get this stuff ashore,
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: then what? You'll have to kill the four of us,
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: won't you?
• 53:18
  Speaker 5: Well, that's insane, is it?
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: Gene Hawks would do it without batting an eye. And
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: you had no idea, Mrs. Grant.
• 53:25
  Speaker 9: No.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: Didn't even know your husband was hired by Japan to
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: grow narcotics. And that you've been chaperoning Gene Hawks ever
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: since Pan Yan. You, the respectable widow of an American
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: killed by Japanese bombs. Didn't know that, huh?
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: No.
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe that isn't how he died at all.
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: Maybe he knew too much and wasn't the fanatic he
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: should have been.
• 53:44
  Speaker 9: He wasn't.
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: Quite.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: You murdered him.
• 53:47
  Speaker 5: No, you did.
• 53:47
  Speaker 9: With notions of helping shine and asking questions.
• 53:50
  Speaker 6: He was told to get rid of you.
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: But he couldn't bring himself to do it, huh?
• 53:54
  Speaker 5: Still had a little feeling for his wife.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: That weakness licked him, didn't it? Ah, that's the weakness
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: that licked me, too. The feeling I had for a
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: helpless little girl. Oh, I was a sucker for that,
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: wasn't I? Your side praise and that kind of thing...
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: Decent human feeling. No use for it yourself except to
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: fake it. But I've been learning fast, Princess, and I
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: learned that lesson just in time. In fact, I had
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: an idea who you were when you got in this boat.
• 54:23
  Speaker 6: Stop lying.
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: You see, after the accident, Mrs. Grant was standing by
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: my bed. But not the warm little girl who liked
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: me so much. Where was she? At the stern watching seagulls.
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: She must have heard about it.
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: The same time Mrs. Grant did. What made her so
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: late in coming to find me? and how those lines
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: of suffering in an artist's sketch of a young girl
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: could be the madness of a grown woman. But I
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: wasn't sure yet. So the next step was that note
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: to Branstadder. When he didn't call Mrs. Grant, when he
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: killed himself, that could mean you opened the note on
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: the way, told Branstadder he'd failed and that his services
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: were no longer required. See what I mean, Princess? You
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: can't fake real feelings, not for long. They're the exclusive
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: property of real human beings.
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: Now put on that gun.
• 55:12
  Speaker 9: Come and take it, Mr.
• 55:13
  Speaker 5: French.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: Yes, I will. No, don't.
• 55:16
  Speaker 5: She'll kill you.
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: She'll kill you. Keep pulling the trigger, Princess. Not loaded? Oh,
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: what a shame. What do you know, Mr.
• 55:26
  Speaker 5: Burroughs?
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: Your stunt worked.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you know? Poor little Jean Hawks. Not
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: even one bullet left to kill herself with. Tire up, boys.
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: That's how and where the trail ended, in outer New
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: York Harbor off Conover Beacon. And that's where another trail began,
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: you might say, because now, back in Frisco, I don't
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: have to worry about my roses getting watered. And does it,
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: like any normal life should. All in all, it's like
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: my boss Anslinger said today at Lake Success at a
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: meeting of the World's Narcotic Commission of the United Nations.
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: By this time, I hope we have learned a deeper
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: lesson that no boundaries between people are as important as
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: the simple, common, lasting bond of belonging to the human race.
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: Before our stars return to their curtain calls, here's a
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: sensational bargain for homemakers. The amazing new Regal aluminum saucepan.

  Speaker 4: part of the world in tonight's play, here are Dick
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: Powell and Signe Hassell back for the curtain call they
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: certainly earned.

  Speaker 4: Keeley.
• 58:15
  Speaker 7: I'm going east to rehearse for the play Love for
• 58:17
  Speaker 7: a Stranger. And then I'm going to tour in summer.
• 58:19
  Speaker 6: Stock with it.
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: Then I guess you'll be traveling most of the summer.
• 58:22
  Speaker 7: Yes, and I packed my trunks this morning. And I
• 58:25
  Speaker 7: think you may be interested to know that one thing
• 58:28
  Speaker 7: I always put in is an emergency supply of Lux plates.
• 58:32
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't be without them. Well, good luck with your tour.
