- 1:03time to begin a new yours truly Johnny Doller series, The Long Shot Matter,
- 1:08Parts one and two from Hollywood. It's time now for Johnny Dollar.
- 1:18Welcome to Hollywood, mister Dollar. This is Darryl Darryl, Jim Darrel,
- 1:22Daryln Clark Insurance. We wrote up the pomb Quist policy. Oh that Darryl.
- 1:25For a minute, I thought maybe, yeah, yeah, everyone does
- 1:27about the policy. Understand you're worried about it. National Underwriters is They asked
- 1:32me to take a look. Come on over and help yourself. It's a
- 1:34simple enough policy. One hundred thousand dollars coverage on both doctor Kyle pom Quist
- 1:37and his wife. It's that double indemnity clause I'm interested in becomes effective at
- 1:41the end of this week, doesn't it. That's right? Why what's wrong?
- 1:44An anonymous letter is sent to underwriters kind of hints that somebody is going
- 1:48to try to collect tonight and every weekday night. Bob Bailey in the transcribed
- 1:59Adventures The Man with the Action Packed expens count America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator yas
- 2:05truly Johnny Dollar. From Special Investigator Johnny Dollar, two National Underwriters Association,
- 2:21one, one Eighter River Road, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an
- 2:24accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the long Shot matter. Expense account out
- 2:31of one one hundred and seventy four dollars and ninety cents airfare and incidentals to
- 2:35Hollywood, California, a good night's sleep at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and in
- 2:38the morning sunshine. Hartford's slush was only a clammy memory. Nobody walks in
- 2:43California, and so when in Rome I had them two two dollars even cam
- 2:46fair to Darrell and Clark Insurance Brokers, Beverly Hills. Where else, Come
- 2:52on in Dollar, We'll be a minute that chair one look at the furnishings,
- 2:57and you knew a lot of insurance was sold here. It takes a
- 3:00flock of premiums to pay for the really good matyor and the long, clean,
- 3:02functional stuff. Impressive. Jim Darrell was even more so, and I'd
- 3:07have bet the ninety percent of his policy holders were women. He seemed to
- 3:10be doing two things at once, shaving and keeping drank and passes by on
- 3:15the street outside. I watched him plants quickly out the window for the fifth
- 3:17time, smile happily, then make a check mark on a desk. Pay.
- 3:23I give up? What is it? Electric shaver? I mean the
- 3:25bit outside the window. Oh, it's this year's version of counting license plates.
- 3:30You playing alone? Huh? With Clark my partner. You see,
- 3:32he takes charcoal gray suits and I take from you to shorts based on strictly
- 3:37how many passed the window other side of the street. Doesn't come loser buys
- 3:39lunch. Where's Clark seeing prospect? We play on the honor system. Uh
- 3:45yeah, mister Darrel, that's pretty yeah. Palm Cliff policy. Huh you
- 3:52want to know about it? You sound reluctant. It's delicate. So is
- 3:55this letter look into palm Quist policy you may have to pay off soon.
- 4:02Nice corny touch there letters from a magazine pasted on to form the message.
- 4:06Well, the style's a little old half, but the meaning's clear enough.
- 4:09You want to fill me in the palm quis mister Dollar, the last of
- 4:13one of our oldest families out here. Name, social position, money,
- 4:15They've got it all. That's why I'm not too impressed with this little communicat
- 4:18you were telling me about the family palm Quist, the doctor an important one
- 4:23six dish for the manner born complete with iron gray hair and distinguished bearing.
- 4:27He uh knows what he wants type of man, has tremendous practice and still
- 4:30finds time to go hunting about two months out of every year. And his
- 4:33wife invalid, confined to the house, a huge house by the way out
- 4:36near the beach. And there's a son, Eric twenty five who lives with
- 4:40them. That's the family about the policy, Daryl, civil enough one hundred
- 4:44thousand straight coverage on both doctor Palmquist and his wife and the beneficiaries, only
- 4:47one son Eric for both, for both, it's pretty pointed, grunt.
- 4:54Why not I was thinking of the double indemnity clause that'll be effective in a
- 4:57few days. And that's what I thought you were thinking. Well, let
- 4:59me have a couple of addresses. Were you the House of the Beach in
- 5:00Palmquiss office. Sure, office was only a few blocks from here. And
- 5:08dollar, please be tactful with those premiums. They're so lovely. My way
- 5:12to make sure they keep coming is to keep people healthy. Yeah, I
- 5:14guess, Hey, what do you know? Another one? Why Bermuda shorts
- 5:19that puts me three up glass? Cann't scream like an eagle when he pays
- 5:23that lunch check. Today we did Roman Office. I walked the four or
- 5:30five blocks to doctor Carl Palmqui's office. It was easy to find. You
- 5:32just look for the most expensive building and the most expensive part of Beverly Hills,
- 5:36or as the natives sometimes call it, Lootville. As I turned into
- 5:41the entrance, a young executive type brush past me on the street, suit
- 5:45shark old gray. I hoped he wouldn't pass Darryl's window. Doctor Palmquiss office
- 5:49was all it should be, tasteful, quietly, lush, the kind of
- 5:51place that made you wonder why he didn't live right there. The nurse who
- 5:56came forward did nothing to destroy the thought blonde complete with eyes retrese knows,
- 6:00and the figure that floated. Great medicine for the sick. May I help
- 6:05you? I'd like to see the doctor. Do you have an appointment mister
- 6:09Dollar, Johnny Dollar, No, I haven't. Doctor Palmquist isn't in right
- 6:12now. Oh what time will you be back? Well, he has a
- 6:15four to thirty appointment. Suppose I show it five? Then, Miss Lund,
- 6:18Stephie Lunn, Miss Lunn. Five. I can't promise anything that you
- 6:23might try. Oh I will, I'll try, like man. Expense account
- 6:31item three thirty eight dollars even deposit in first days rental on a drive it
- 6:34yourself car and driving an out along Sunset Boulevard was delightful. I had no
- 6:41trouble at all getting into the California spirit. I pretended that I was a
- 6:44movie producer going home to his starlet wife. I found the palm Quiest house
- 6:48on a quiet, dead end street high on the Palisades, overlooking the Pacific.
- 6:54Daryl was right. It's huge, a single story farmhouse that seemed to
- 6:58ramble endlessly. It was a long way to come for nothing. I walked
- 7:12around the side of the house, and nobody tried to stop me. I
- 7:15moved through an open breezeway and wished that somebody had because suddenly I felt like
- 7:18an intruder. Because of the woman sitting in the wheelchair, staring vagantly down
- 7:23at the swimming pool it sparkled in the sunlight. Because of the way she
- 7:26poured a drink from the bottle beside her without ever looking at it. Because
- 7:30of the way she held the glass as though she wanted you to believe it
- 7:32was sassprilla tea, not whiskey. It isn't really medicine, you know,
- 7:41I only pretend that it is. Yeah, sure, Look I didn't mean
- 7:46to barge in like this, Missus punquest. Victor says it's disgusting, called
- 7:54it a sign of weakness. Do you feel that way, Well, nobody
- 8:03does anything without a reason. My name is Duller, Missus palm Quist.
- 8:07And while I'd like to talk to you for a little while, if if
- 8:11you feel up to him weakness, Oh I'm sorry, very sorry. Victor
- 8:20wouldn't like that idea. Would you mind wheeling me into the house, young
- 8:26man, I'm very tired. Oh yeah, sure, thing you just relax.
- 8:35She leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes. She wasn't sleeping,
- 8:37just somewhere off and thoughts were own. I pushed the chair toward the
- 8:41house as gently as I could. It wasn't until we almost reached it and
- 8:46I realized we had an audience. A good looking kid in his mid twenties
- 8:48watching us from a bedroom window, A kid who didn't want to be seen.
- 8:52The way he jumped back from the window told me that he was getting
- 8:54pretty weird outs. Inside the house, I wheeled missus Palmquest into a large
- 9:03living room gently, patiently. I tried to get her to answer a few
- 9:07questions, but I got nowhere. She wasn't rude, just secreted, smiling
- 9:11and very far away. I was wondering how to get out gracefully when I'm
- 9:16so very sorry. I'm afraid I haven't been very attentive, have I.
- 9:20Mister Dollar suddenly just as clear and lucid as that. I looked around to
- 9:24see what it made, this almost magical change, and he was standing just
- 9:26inside the room, the kid i'd seen watching from the window. Eric,
- 9:31Come here, dear, this is my son. Eric. I'm afraid I've
- 9:37forgotten where you told me you were from, mister Dollar. My mother's been
- 9:39idle, mister Dolla. She's not supposed to be disturbed. Oh, I
- 9:43am sorry. I was just leaving good. I'll show you the way out.
- 9:46Oh maybe that would be best. You will come back again, mister
- 9:52Dollar, when I'm feeling Yeah, sure of course, make it soon.
- 10:01I don't seem to keep very good track of time. Another sign of weakness,
- 10:11I suppose when you show mister Dollar out, please come back, Paul.
- 10:18Oh, yes, mother, you're a good son. Paul. This
- 10:24way, miss Della, what do you want here? You can see she'sn't
- 10:35well. Yeah. Yeah, it didn't take you long ago from Eric to
- 10:41Paul that she is not insane. You hear, mister Dollar, I didn't
- 10:46say she was. Now why did she call you? Paul? Paul was
- 10:48my older brother. He died three years ago. That's part of why she's
- 10:52like she is a small part. Oh, I'm sorry. Nobody's asking you
- 10:56to be you just don't come back here. I had plenty of time to
- 11:05kill before five o'clock, and a lot of things would have been pleasant,
- 11:07sopping up the Malibu son, watching the kids on the beach, you name
- 11:11it, but instead I settled for a visit with an old friend, Lieutenant
- 11:13Berry, homicide. I wasn't just being social, pretty sneaky. As a
- 11:16matter of fact, the anonymous note, which underwriters had received intrigued Berry,
- 11:20and he promised to have it gone over by the police lab. At five
- 11:24on the dot, I was back in doctor Palmquist's office. Hi, you're
- 11:31a punctual sort of patient, mister Dolla. Yeah, he used to get
- 11:33gold stars for it at school. I'm afraid doctor Palmquist doesn't get one.
- 11:37He called just a little while after you left this morning, said to cancel
- 11:41all appointments for today, that he wouldn't be in. I'm so sorry,
- 11:46Yeah so am. I I would have called you, but I didn't know
- 11:48where to read. Oh sure, that's okay. What about tomorrow. I
- 11:52can give you an appointment at ten. I'll be here, thanks, mister
- 11:58Dowler. Would you like to give me some information now? Like what medical
- 12:03history, previous illnesses, complaints, the usual thing saves time in the morning.
- 12:09Well, why don't we wait till tomorrow in case doctor palm Quest decides
- 12:13to play hooky again. There's one nice thing about this job. You get
- 12:18around so much. You learn to pick up local habits without even thinking about
- 12:22it. For instance, that evening I had a leisurely dinner, then took
- 12:26in an endless double feature, all without ever once getting out of my car
- 12:31drive in jail. It was well after midnight when I got back to my
- 12:35hotel, feeling a kinship for bus drivers everywhere. I headed across the lobby,
- 12:41ran smack into Jim Darrel as a rounded the cigar standard dollar. Where
- 12:46have you been? Wow? Hi Daryl? Hey who wound up paying for
- 12:48lunch? Just not been trying to get hold of you all night? Where
- 12:50were you? Dinner? A movie The Wildlife on? Well, don't look
- 12:54that unhappy. I didn't do anything illegal. Somebody did. Hey, what
- 12:58is it, Daryl? What are you talking about? Missus Pumpquist dead shot
- 13:03to death a couple of hours ago, Johnny Dellar, Johnny Lieutenant Barry Homicide
- 13:26got messages from you three inches thick. Yeah, I've been trying to get
- 13:28hold of you all morning. It hasn't exactly been a social tea around here,
- 13:31you know what with the murder of doctor Pumquis's wife and I come down
- 13:33there the headquarters, come ahead, and if you're a good boy, I'll
- 13:37introduce you to the man who did the killing. What of course he denies
- 13:39it completely. Who wouldn't when you hear his story, it's a wild one.
- 13:43All that's your way ahead of me. You're saying you've got the killer
- 13:46there, That's what I'm saying. Well, who is he? You wouldn't
- 13:48know him. Nobody seems to make a little sense. What are you,
- 13:50lieutenant? Look you coming down or not? Right now? From Special Investigator
- 14:03Johnny Dollar location in Los Angeles, California to a National Underwriter's Association Hertford,
- 14:07Connecticut assignment. The long shot matter los Angeles traffic being what it is,
- 14:18there was plenty of time to think on the way to Berry's office. But
- 14:20think about what an unsigned warning that someone was going to collect on one hundred
- 14:26thousand dollars policy. A frail, defeated woman wasn't going to have to worry
- 14:30about weakness anymore. There was an awful lot to find out before this whole
- 14:35thing had begin to make sense. That was pretty obvious. The man I
- 14:37was going to see was anything but obvious. Big and round, he was
- 14:41like a fat Cby doll with a gun. He always had the feeding his
- 14:45round little eyes were dreaming, passed you seeing an island where there was no
- 14:48jail cells. A lot of cons had made that mistake, found out too
- 14:52late that Barry was as sharp as any homicide. Cobb alive. Life is
- 14:56like that at Johnny yesterday, your visit was today. It's business. Yeah,
- 15:01just one dead woman can make a lot of difference. Sit on,
- 15:03like I said, I'm way behind you. How did it happen? Why
- 15:07sit down? I can't talk when you're standing, Okay. Santa Monica Substation
- 15:13got the call about nine last night from doctor Palmquist. He was real excited,
- 15:16said he was holding a rifle and a prowler would come in and shot
- 15:18and killed his wife. So we got out there fast. Wait a minute,
- 15:22did the doctor know Let me tell it my way. Huh hop you?
- 15:26We found missus Pomquist dead on the living room floor, and the doctor's
- 15:28still holding this guy at rifle pointed thirty eight colt lay in a corner with
- 15:31nobody paying much attention to it. Ballistic says it's the murder weaponar right.
- 15:35What's the doctor's story? He says he was out on a house call,
- 15:39got home a couple of minutes before nine on the way to the front door.
- 15:41He glanced through the living room window saw this prowler holding a gun on
- 15:45Missus Palmquist. Doctor got into the house quietly and was sneaking up from behind
- 15:48when the prowler heard him and got rattled. Prowler fired and killed a woman
- 15:52just as the doc brought a paperweight down on his head. Nice and a
- 15:56lot of left field funny, I always thought and gunmen are two different things.
- 16:02Nothing says it can't happen, and the evidence says it did. What
- 16:04does that mean that this is one prowler who's sewn uptight because everything checks out.
- 16:08The thirty eight is his his prints are on it. Lab found the
- 16:11Lockey force to get in. What else? You want a moving picture?
- 16:14We don't get mad. Don't get mad. I'm just asking them now that
- 16:18house call the doctor was out on. I'm a stranger in town. But
- 16:21isn't that kind of a late hour to see a patient unless it's a real
- 16:23emergency, Not when they look like this one. Oh. I checked with
- 16:26her this morning. She could make me go to medical school right now,
- 16:30even at this age. Nice put it this way. Her first name ought
- 16:33to be Marylyn. Well, that's pretty clear. Who is she? A
- 16:36missus Laura Kansanty thirty five, widow money and everyone should look like that.
- 16:41She's been doctor palmq's patient long three or four years, and she backs up
- 16:45the story of the house call completely. You sold. I want to know
- 16:48about the prowler? Who is he? X Con drifter fifty seven years old?
- 16:52Got a record that goes way back? What kind of record? I
- 16:56was afraid you'd ask, because that's the fly in the ointment, a long
- 17:00sheet and it's buried bunco con game, badger, bad checks, pigeon drop,
- 17:03all small stuff, but not an ounce of violence anywhere. A killing's
- 17:07way out of pattern, isn't it. Yeah, this prowler, what does
- 17:10he claim? It's so wild I'm embarrassed to repeat it. How'se chances am
- 17:14I seeing him? Maybe he'll tell me. Barry took me upstairs to what
- 17:22they call the hotshot section, A very exclusive floor, this one because the
- 17:26cells hold only prisoners suspected of the big rap murder. You know something,
- 17:32I never had a place like this, But what an old fallacy comes bouncing
- 17:34back into my mind, that bit about being able to tell a man's character
- 17:38by looking at him? What does a murderer. Look like, go ahead,
- 17:42put yourself out on that limb, but don't drag me out there with
- 17:45you. Because the man sitting quietly and sell eight a looked about his heart
- 17:49and dangerous as a Victorian Ada Macasser. Lonnie Miller prowler and murder suspects.
- 17:56Lonnie Miller, gray haired, tall and slim, a man with good straight
- 17:59bearing even while he sat yet with a delicacy about him. Or maybe it
- 18:03was just the natural good manners of the born con man. I didn't know.
- 18:07Yell when you want out, Johnny. Yeah, I'm not going to
- 18:12change the story. I'll tell that again, but it'll be the same.
- 18:17Is that what you want of I'm not the police, Miller. My name
- 18:19is Dollar. I'm an insurance investigator. It's a little late for me to
- 18:22buy insurance, isn't it, Maler. You don't have to talk to me
- 18:26if you don't want to. But you'd be helping yourself if you told me
- 18:27the truth. They didn't believe me, not one word. Why would you?
- 18:33My jobs are different. My interest is in the insurance angle. Did
- 18:37you kill missus Palmquist nearly sixty? Mister? And I've done everything in the
- 18:42book almost everything, But I never killed never. I can't make them see
- 18:48that. Yeah, I know. I told them a hundred times, word
- 18:52for words, step by step. They just sit and look at me.
- 18:59What do I have to do to make them believe I didn't do it?
- 19:02From what I hear, they've got an awful lot of evidence. It says
- 19:03you did. You too, Go away, mister, you may be a
- 19:11little different kind of cop to talking like all the others, thinking like them.
- 19:17Let me alone. Yeah, I haven't got much chance, mill Or
- 19:19if that's your only answer to evidence evidence, I know all about that stuff.
- 19:23You can buy it and sell it, manufacture it, make it,
- 19:27stand up, and do tricks the cops. You're talking through your hat.
- 19:30You've been the route. Do you know one case where the police ever manufactured
- 19:33evidence? And I don't mean con talk, I mean one you actually know
- 19:37of what's the difference? Look, why don't you tell me about it?
- 19:41I think you could listen without sneering. Nobody else can try me. Huh,
- 19:47Now, how did you get into this? I just finished doing time
- 19:52in San Diego and hitchhiking my way up from there fur nights ago. A
- 19:59truck let me off on the Pacific Coast Highway, about fifteen miles south of
- 20:03LA A few minutes later, a man in a big cat gave me a
- 20:07lift. Nice enough fellow, a little nosy about where I was from where
- 20:12I was going, things like that, but nice there go on. After
- 20:18about five minutes, he decided we needed coffee, so he stopped at a
- 20:22little tacos joint. Ten minutes later we were back on the road. After
- 20:26about two miles. He said it felt like we had a flat, so
- 20:30he stopped. It was a flat, all right, left rear so well
- 20:34he had given me the lift. At least I could do was to change
- 20:37his tire, so I did it. He was real friendly the rest of
- 20:41the way, told me to stick around town and he'd see I got a
- 20:45job. He gave me a twenty, told me where to get a room,
- 20:48and set to wait for him to phone. He said his name was
- 20:51Carter. You do what he said last night he called me, said to
- 20:56be at his house at nine shop to meet a man who had a job
- 20:59for me. An address in the Palisades. We'll go on. The house
- 21:03was dark when I got there, so I rang the bell. Someone opened
- 21:07the door. I took one step inside and got hit on the head.
- 21:11Next thing I know, I'm coming to on the living room floor as a
- 21:15dead woman a few feet away, and my friend Carter's holding a rifle at
- 21:22my head, threatening to blow it off if I move. Only when the
- 21:26cops got there, they didn't call him Carter, but doctor Palmquist. Palmquist,
- 21:33Melody, realize what you're saying. I know and every word of it's
- 21:38the truth. Now tell me this, mister, how do I get anyone
- 21:45to believe it? Well? I sat there quietly, looking first at his
- 21:53burning cigarette. That'd me. It was as though he didn't expect either one
- 21:57of us to believe him. I was glad to get out of there.
- 22:03Well, I'll say this much for Miller, Johnny, he's got that story
- 22:06down. Pat. He didn't tell you one word that he hasn't been telling
- 22:08us, Lieutenant, Does doctor Palmquist know what Miller claims? We haven't discussed
- 22:14it? Didn't. I tell you The doctor's resting at Blair Hospital for a
- 22:18day or so shock of his wife's death. The intended tell him. Look,
- 22:21I know you're a fellow who automatically roots for the underdog, But face
- 22:25it, boy, what have I got an ex con with a wild story
- 22:27against a respected citizen with a perfect alibi. I look kind of silly questioning
- 22:32Palmquist at the moment. At the moment, does that mean you've got doubts
- 22:34about Pumpquist? I doubt everybody to the last page. Boy, That's how
- 22:38I got to be lieutenant. And that's where we left it. I had
- 22:45a long, thoughtful lunch which included two very dry martinis, aimed at helping
- 22:49solve a new problem, to which how best to arrange a few words with
- 22:53a hospitalized doctor Palmquist at such a delicate time. In the end, I
- 22:57did the only thing I could, walked into round nine thirteen at Blair Hospital
- 23:02and introduced myself. Doctor Palmquest didn't seem at all surprised by the visit.
- 23:06He seemed annoyed, if anything, but the annoyance was with himself. I'm
- 23:11not a very good advertisement for my own profession at the moment, am I
- 23:14mister Dolla? I I'm sorry to intrude doctor, or I probably could have
- 23:18picked a better time for a visit. You've been doing your best. Which
- 23:22do you prefer, mister Dolla? My office or my home? Would you
- 23:25like the names of a few friends. Perhaps they can tell you whatever it
- 23:27is you're trying to find out about me. It's my job, doctor,
- 23:30And just what is your job, mister dollar insurance investigator for the company that
- 23:33holds the policy on missus palm quest and yourself. I see. Then you
- 23:40can stop running around, now, can't you. You can simply go to
- 23:41the police and they'll tell you anything you want to know. Doctor may I,
- 23:47I don't usually prescribe without a thorough examination. Bob very well, I
- 23:52don't think California is your cup of tea. I suggest another climate entirely.
- 24:03The visit was over, poun Quis lay back against the pillows, no longer
- 24:07interested, and I turned to leave. Just as I was reaching for the
- 24:11door, it opened, and one of the most beautiful women I'd ever seen
- 24:12started into the room. I think you have the wrong room, met him.
- 24:17For a moment, she just stood there, startled, Then without a
- 24:18word, she turned and hurried out, but not before I'd gotten a good
- 24:22look at the large block initials on the purse she carried ELC. The two
- 24:26letters, plus the way she looked made Laura Consandine a pretty good bet.
- 24:30Nice twist, huh. The doctor is ill and the patient comes to call.
- 24:34You can't trust anybody these days, can you. Now? Here's our
- 24:53star to tell you about Tomorrow's intriguing episode of this week's story. Tomorrow Beauty
- 24:57maybe skin deep, but goes a lot further down than that sometimes as far
- 25:03as death, join us, won't you? Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar?
- 25:30Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, starring Bob Bailey is transcribed in Hollywood, written by
- 25:37Tony Barrett. It is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone. Be sure to
- 25:44join us tomorrow night at same time and station for the next exciting episode of
- 25:49Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, Roy Rowan speaking welcome back. All the solutions seemed
- 26:52somewhat obvious at this point, but we may be kind of an inverted mystery
- 26:57here with John trying to figure out how to prove the X CON's story true,
- 27:06which I think is definitely a challenge. Interesting note here Tony Barrett as
- 27:11writer of the story. Tony Barrett, of course well known as a character
- 27:17actor, played a lot of villains I Think Gonna Let George Do It and
- 27:22many other detective shows, and of course played the role of the indispensable Mark
- 27:26Donovan taking a turn at writing, and it'll be interesting to see how this
- 27:33plays out. There was definitely greater opportunity to write radio just because so many
- 27:40of the established writers were going to television and it costs quite a bit to
- 27:47lure them to do radio writing. By the way, I should mention that
- 27:51I do have a new microphone I'm recording with. Got a wireless microphone for
- 27:59Christmas, and I'm trying it out for the first time in these couple episodes.
- 28:03Certainly I'm gonna ask Andrew Rhymes to keep a listen to it and provide
- 28:07some feedback. But your feedback is welcomed as well as to how the new
- 28:11MIC's working. But that will do it for today. We'll be back tomorrow
- 28:15with Mister Cameleon, and next week you won't want to miss it. We're
- 28:21going to open up the casebook of Gregory Hood. In the meantime, send
