  Speaker 4: and no exercise, flabby every one of you.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: Hear Tony did my rowing machine sprang a leak a
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: little while back? Rationalization, Well they're rationing everything these days.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Come in mister, you know me, Templar.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: Barnard Buzz Barnhart. I used to see you with the
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: pathouse when you went state the grip, brother.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: What oh yes, the grip? As if I could ever forget?
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: How does it go again?
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: If you were trying to joke, Templar, there are two
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: things I never joke about. The university the fraternity. Won't
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: you sit down, mister Barner buzz Buzz. You played football,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: didn't you? Football? I was before your time, Templar, But
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: my old jersey still hangs in the frat house, the
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: one I wore when I scored the touchdown against Michigan
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: All America nineteen twenty six, and in nineteen twenty six,
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: football was football.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Remember that football was football. I got it.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Templar. You've made quite a reputation as the saint. That's
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: why I've come to you. There's a force of evil
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: loose on the campus of a Ramamater, Templar, A force
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: of evil.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Read this, I know all about you and Angie. Let
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: me tell you what will happen if you keep on
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: seeing it first, you will be was written by a
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: very sick mind, mister Barnard.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Obviously a poison pen note. And I have reason to
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: believe that every man showing interest in Angela has received one.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Oh who is Angela?
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: My daughter and the senior at the university, young and
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: very beautiful.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: I am sure of it, but I don't quite see,
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: mister Barnard, that is buzz that there's anything that I
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: can templar.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: The young student who receive this note, Jim Fuller, disregarded it.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Last night he was seized from behind and choked unconscious.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: If his assailant hadn't been frightened off while other students approaching,
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: I firmly believe Fuller would have been killed.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: And then it's a matter for the police.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: The police, templar. The police that alone, not being statemen,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: are not even university men. You see how impossible it is.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: But I still don't see how there is no higher
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: duty than the duty we all owe our alma mater.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Though we may wander far. When she issues a call,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: we must answer, Templar. Her reputation is threatened.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: She needs you buzz for university, for fraternity.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: The grip a brother. Oh, and it's all settled. I'll
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: tell Dean Matthews to expect you.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: Oh is Dean Matthew still there? He must be one
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: hundred and eighty years old by now.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Of course he no longer handles the administrative duties, but
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: he insists on knowing everything that's going on.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: And I'll see him in the morning and arrange to
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: take some refresher courses.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Very intelligent, excite less suspicion.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you might give me the names of the students
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: your daughter has been seeing.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: Angela's a rule. Doesn't care too much for the company
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: of students, Templar. She prefers older man.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, how about fuller fooler?
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Is I believe more of a convenience than anything else,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: College dances and so on. Angela, and I say this
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: without conceit. You understand, prefers someone cast more in the
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: image of her father younger naturally, well.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Can you give me the names of any of these images?
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: She has been somewhat circumspect. You might try Professor Hobson,
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: the young instructor in psychology around thirty five.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: Quite handsome. Angela must be a very active girl.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Angela is an attractive woman, as you will find out.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Is anything in particular meant by that, mister Berner, Just caution,
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: mister Templar. I know my daughter, and I'm looking forward
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: to it for Alma Mater. Of course, of course, of course,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: the grip, the grip.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Good afternoon, Dean, My name.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: Is come in, Templar.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: How is that?
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: I never forget a face? Never understand? You're coming back
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: with us again in a way, yea good. Finish the
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: job this time, my boy. Graduate. Make up your mind
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: to it and you'll do it.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Dean, I think you have me confused.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: No concerns, nonsense. I remember you perfectly left here last semester,
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: didn't you.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, Dean, I graduated from this
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: fair tower of learning quite a number of well a
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: fair number of years ago.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: The reason I'm here just now is to.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: Audit a few courses, any courses in connection with an
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: investigation I'm making for mister Barnard.
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: But I understand all this. Oh good, I understand your
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: needs exactly. Fine, Angela Barnhart is a very interesting young woman.
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: Now don't tell me you've received a note too.
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: How's that young man?
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Er? Nothing saying now about those courses deemed.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: My assistant will arrange things with the registrar. I know
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: exactly what you want of splendid and this semester. Templar,
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: make up your mind to buckle down to work. No
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: more cutting classes. A job worth doing is worth doing well.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: Dean astituity, sticituitiveness, and a constant image before you of
• 7:46
  Speaker 6: your parents. Proud smile when you bring home that diploma.
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: You touched me, study hard, thing straight and resolved to
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: be the kind of a success which in later life
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: will enable you to contribute generously to the alumni.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Fun Professor Hobson. Yes, my name is Templar, Simon Templar.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: I'm auditing your psychology one with.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: One in mine.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Templar, Do I impress you as a typical undergraduate type? No? No,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: I was afraid not. Then I'd better be frank.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: I understand poison pen notes are circulating on the campus Hobson.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: And further that you yourself may have received one.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: Yes, well, I've been asked by uh Buzz Barnhardt to
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: find the author of the notes.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: I hope you can. I hope you can.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Can you contribute to anything further than just hope?
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: Templar? I? Uh, I suppose you know that I'm implicated.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: In this MM. It has been suggested yet I.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Have one of the notes. Have you seen them here?
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's pretty much like the other I saw. Have
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: you eat the warning to stay away from Angie?
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: No? Or rather, Angie hasn't stayed away from me? That
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: sounds egotistical, But then you don't know Angie? Or do
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: you know I'm still looking forward to I don't. I
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: still don't know how this thing got started, Templar. Every
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: young professor gets a certain amount of flattering attention from
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: the CODs. But this is different, vastly different. Angie's a
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: woman tremendously attractive and tremendously evil. You really feel that, yes, no, no,
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: no one that young is evil? Will give them time.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Angie is twisted badly so her family, her father is Oh.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: I can't even be objective enough about the girl who
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: analyze what's wrong?
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Have any ideas about the author of the notes?
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: No, someone badly neurotic, perhaps dangerously neurotic. That's obvious, total
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: lack of adjustment to realities. Perhaps these traits are apparent
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: on the surface. Perhaps not. It could be anyone you make.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: My chances of fight or her appear rather gloomy, obsen
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: why not and eurotic?
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: A psychotic In college ranks these days we turn them
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: out on an assembly line. I'm somewhat of an escapist, Templer.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: I saw the professorial post as a refuge, a serene
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: and lofty observation point. Let others complete struggle become also written,
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: not for me? When you could have chosen a better
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: historical period, any historical period. Have you any idea what
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: goes on in a university today, Templar. Just last June
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: we graduated most of our veterans. We get back to normalcy.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: Six months later, nine out of every ten men in
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: college are one a now. Try instilling the old college
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: spirit and these boys. Try getting them to study their
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: homework so the mothers will be proud of them. Try
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: getting them to conform to the nice, conservative moral standards
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: which prevailed when you and I went to college hall.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: Happily, I don't have to try. I only have to
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: catch someone who's been writing letters. Any ideas about anyone
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: else who might have received one of these valentines?
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: You know about young Fuller? Yes, yes, well you can't
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: really count him anyhow, Try our esteemed.
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: Football coach, Buddy Ridcot. A football coach hasn't enough worries.
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: He has to go out and choose more.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: You don't choose Angie exempler, she chooses you. Oh, I see, well,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: thanks for your help. Hoops.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: And then i'd be a little careful about walking around
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: alone after dark till this thing is cleared up. You
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: might be in danger, unless, of course, I was the
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: author of these letters. There's always that possibility. Yes, in
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: any case, I wish you success in any case. In
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: any case, the every tower has come crashing down. This
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: bruised and soiled occupant has no further distance to fall. Well,
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: see you went class template. Oh if I don't get
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: hurt in football practice yet?
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Oh? Yes, our mister ritco a character builder, a character
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: builder or a winning football coach. He combines the aggressiveness
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: of a hungry shark with the ethics of a professional
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: stool pigeon, A winning coach.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: See you in class, professor.
• 12:29
  Speaker 7: All right, breaking up, boys, hit the showers.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: I beg your pardon. My name is Temple, mister ritco.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Oh an alumnus. Well, what's the complaint, mister.
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: Templar, No complaint, coachs just little information.
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: Oh you want to know why we dropped two games
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: last fall, Well, the ball was slippery and our quarterback
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: was stupid.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Not that kind of information.
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: I wanted some information about Angela Barnhardt, Angela and you.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: You're pretty nosy, even for an alumn I'm on the office.
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: You haven't been writing me letters on the subject of Angela.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: So you got one too? May I see it? Sure? Yeah,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: he's pretty nasty.
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: Oh, I've gotten worse. You should see them when I
• 13:22
  Speaker 7: lose a football game. The man who wrote this might
• 13:24
  Speaker 7: be dangerous, Ricka. I can handle myself.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you look.
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: Thank you can any aversions to telling me what there
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: is between you and Angela.
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: None except that it's none of your business.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, her father.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: Asked me to investigate these letters. Good old buzz I
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: met Angie through him. He's the kind you find on
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: every campus.
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: If you're unlucky, he's still back in nineteen twenty six
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: when he was a star.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: Nobody knows anything about football but him.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Least of all me. What about Angie? She's the kind
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: you meet on the campus if you're lucky. Aren't you
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: a little old for her? Rick Go? She likes it
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: that way. Couldn't this be trouble? It's worth it?
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: All these notes were typewritten. You don't have a typewriter,
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: do you, coach?
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: Look these letters were written by a nut I didn't
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: have time to go to class when I went to college.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: But I'm smart enough to figure that. Am I nutty
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: enough to be doing it?
• 14:21
  Speaker 7: Forty three coaches last year had nervous breakdowns, a lot
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: more acting strange. But the man with the net hasn't
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: gotten them yet.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: Am I one of them. I'll put your money and
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: take your choice.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Now'll beat it.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: I'm busy.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: You're a hard man, mister Rico.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, oh well there you are, Templar. I'd heard
• 14:37

• 16:07
  Speaker 8: That's all I know.

  Speaker 3: Who's that?
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: Jimp fory?
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Oh? Sorry you, Jim, don't try to be friendly, Templar.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: I know you're gonna beat Angie. Oh I shouldn't have
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: bragged the boys at the frat house. Not funny, Templing.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: I suppose it isn't done. Sorry you s all right.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: I don't count. I'm worried about Angie. Come on, we
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: can talk as we go. Jim. It's it's not natural
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: to be like she is. Give you a rough go,
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: not only me. Oh man, it's kind of like she's
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: revenging herself on him for something. Well, how about this? Uh? Well,
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: this preference for older men not a pattern? Hobson, Ritko,
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: you and a lot of others. How long does it
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: usually last?
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Not long?
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: She cauts them up too? What causes a templar? What
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: is it? When I help her? But I can't rate you?
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: What's manning a little bout a light tower alongside the city?
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: And m I don't seem lying on the concrete? Come on, huh.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: It's it's a man.
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it was the man before he fell from a
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: long way up. Who is it better than I loved Jim?
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: It's pretty nasty, professor Hobson. Hobson, What happened to him?
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: If he fell or jumped or was pushed, whatever it was,
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: he won't be able to tell us he's dead. The
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: Ivory tower has come crashing down. Looks like the writer
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: of these letters wasn't fooling jin finand Jean take her home.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: I've got what to do.
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: Uh, Good morning, Dean, Oh Jumpler Sitter, thank you?
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: Shocking thing about Hobson. Shocking accident, of course? What makes
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: you think so, my dear fellow, Hobson was one of
• 19:54
  Speaker 6: our professors. How could it be anything else?
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Dean?
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: Do you think he was climbing light towers at the
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: stadium just for exercise.
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: Officially, yes, actually no, But whatever it was, I don't
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: want to know. I mean, well, the good name of
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: the university, Templar.
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: You can see that the command has been killed, Dean.
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: The police are investigating.
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: But we don't need to tell them about the letters,
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: do we, That is to say, do we?
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: I'm afraid we do, Dean. Hobson didn't fall from the
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: light tower. He fell, but from somewhere else. His body
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: was moved to the base of the tower.
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: You're making things up, Templar. It was an exodent.
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: I think it was murder.
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: Murder, Templer, I must ask you not to use that word.
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: No stateman was ever murdered. Keep that in mind. No,
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: I'm very busy this morning, Dean. Remember, Templar, in this
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: country a boy can be anything he wants to be
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: if he makes up his mind to it. Study how
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: God save your pennies and you'll get there aswell. And
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: now you'll excuse me. I. Oh, by the way, Templar,
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: here's a note for you that was left in my
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: office this morning.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: A note for me. Oh, thank you. Hm.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: I know all about you and Angie. You don't stop
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: seeing her?
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: I will. Uh yeah, And it.
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: Looks like I'm on the list, Dean. Another letter written
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: in poison.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: I don't believe it.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Look here, read it for your No.
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: No, I don't want to read it, I.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Templar.
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: If it's someone in this college, then somehow I fail,
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: haven't I? I mean this age these times, things have
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: somehow gone wrong, haven't they?
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Yesteing, somehow things have gone very wrong?
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: Tepler, Templer, Wait up, I've been looking for you.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: Oh hello, Bynard, I've been looking for you too. I
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: got a little note this morning, dripping with venom.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: No, there's a force of evil loose on this campus, Templar.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: You've got to find it in quickly. Spring football practice
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: starts next month.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: Or we'll clear it up before then. Tell me how's
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: Aanngie taking Hobson's dad? How should she take it? What
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: was Hobson to.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Her more than a friend?
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: I should say, true, But Angela's not for brooding. She
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: wanted me to remind you that you didn't keep your
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: date last night hardly. She said she would be at
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: the same place tonight. Didn't tell me where, but I
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: guess you'd know.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: As I suppose I would.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: Fine, girl, Angela, you're lucky that she singled you out
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: for attention. She has You know, you're very lucky.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: I could be the luckiest man in the cemetery.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: Say you could at that templar. Well, that's the way
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: things go. That's just the way things go. Assure, that's
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: just buzz. If you don't mind, I haven't gone yet.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: I'll see you at the fifty yard line. I'll almost
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: to jump with Jim.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: It seems I meet you at the same spot every night.
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: I know you're going to meet Angie. I followed her,
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: and so I go up to the press box and
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: you seem to get her around. Jim, tell me something,
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: Where did you find Angie last night? After I told
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: you to get her and take her home? She wasn't
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: up in the press box. No, she was coming from
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: the other direction. I'm glad why I think Professor Hubson
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: jumped from the press box jumped. No, would you do
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: me a favorite? Jim, wait at the foot of these stairs.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: Don't let anyone come up. Would you do that? Why
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: should I?
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Because I think I can solve this thing tonight. That
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: reason enough? Oh?
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: Sure, goo ahead, wish me luck Huh not with Angie
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: Luck fee lategy.

  Speaker 3: H anybody here? Oh, Angie?
• 24:27
  Speaker 10: Yeah?
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: Stay? What a disappoint Where are the lights? Angie?
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: You're the first one who ever wanted any Angie. I
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: want you to listen and answer my questions. I didn't
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: come up here to hold hands with you or whatever
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: it is they're doing in college these.
• 24:44
  Speaker 8: Days, same thing as in your day, Simon.
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: Angie. A man's been killed. I don't know how to
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: make it register with you, or how to get you
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: to drop the role of the femme fatale and face reality.
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: A man's been killed because of you.
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: I know, and I'm afraid, Simon, terribly afraid.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: Good.
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: That's a start. If you're the key to this, Angie,
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: what you are and what made you that way? This
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: may sound strange, but do you remember your mother a little?
• 25:18
  Speaker 9: My father was mean to her and I hated him
• 25:20
  Speaker 9: for it.
• 25:21
  Speaker 8: But I love my father all right.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: Now. What was the first thing you remember about him?
• 25:26
  Speaker 9: I thought he wanted me to be a boy football player,
• 25:29
  Speaker 9: he didn't want a girl.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: Yes, what was that? Well? I heard something, Angie. Do
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: you think your father loves you? Now? I don't want
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: to ask you this, but I have to, of.
• 25:40
  Speaker 9: Course he does. I think he enjoys my being able
• 25:43
  Speaker 9: to make fools of men.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: He asked me about it, men younger than himself. And
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: do you enjoy him?
• 25:49
  Speaker 11: Oh?
• 25:50
  Speaker 9: I don't know. Paul Hobson told me that I was
• 25:54
  Speaker 9: revenging myself for the way my father treated my mother.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: But I don't know, Angela. Do you think your father
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: is rationals? Stop? Stop?
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: Please?
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: Please?
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: Oh no, I know. Look trying for yourself together, Angie.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: I want to show you something.
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: Come over here what I brought a flashlight so you
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: could look at this typewriter.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: Read the story.
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: A young, tearing, slashing Buzzsaw roared up and down the
• 26:25
  Speaker 9: gridiron at State today. The fury of a man wearing
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: the number eighty seven. This must have been left in
• 26:31
  Speaker 9: the typewriter from last four. Read the date line November eighth,
• 26:36
  Speaker 9: nineteen twenty six. I don't understand.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: Read further.
• 26:40
  Speaker 9: Wearing the number eighty seven today? A footballer model was
• 26:44
  Speaker 9: born in the fire of competition. Whose name buzz Barnhardt?
• 26:49
  Speaker 9: But simon what.
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: The person who wrote this wrote the poison ten minutes.
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: A very sick person, Angie, A person unable to face reality,
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: someone living in the still, in that golden moment which
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: was never have to would equal a sick brain who
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: could sit up here and see himself down there on
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: that empty football field and write stories about what needs
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: to be.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: No, they were better days than you ever saw, Templar.
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: Far better. Will you hear all along? Buys, I just
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: came up.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: You told young Fuller not to let anyone up. And
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: of course Angie's father is different. I never thought much
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: of Fuller anyway. He couldn't make our fraternity. Templar didn't
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: even come out for football. Take it easy, buzz, wondering
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: why I asked you here to catch the right of
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: the note, Templar.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: A lot of criminals have it, buzz, the subconscious desire
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: for punishment nonsense.
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: You were the only one against whom it was fun
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: to compete, a state man.
• 27:40
  Speaker 9: How could you have?
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: Bollerry, Angie. We'll still be all right. Those fools with
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: their youth will still come flocking, and you'll send them
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: all away because they can't measure.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Up to me.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: That's it, isn't it. Their youth doesn't mean anything, doesn't.
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: You can't bring back your own youth. Buzz, Let it go.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: Let it go, I'm still twice the man any of
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: you are. Look at Hobson, I picked up. I'm up
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: like a baby, and he twenty years younger. And I'll
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: do the same for you.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Stay back, give it up.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: I saw you looking at her. I saw you. You're
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: all like you young men. Come here, Temper, come.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: Here, listen to me.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: One hundred feet straight down. Let's see how young you
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: look lying on the concrete, Templar.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Let's see why you look at him?
• 28:19
  Speaker 11: Look up, Oh, don't look on, don't look you all right, Jim.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: I guess so I dodgedn't And he yes, I know
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: he made his last run. Take Angie home, will you.
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm will you. I'm sure Angie, I'll stay with Buzz.
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: He liked that fraternity brothers.
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Templer, I want to congratulate you on the way
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: you've handled this thing.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Exemplary.
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: And I thought it was better for Angie's sake to
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: put her father's death down to pure accident. Dean also,
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: Hobson's not the truth. But there are times to look the.
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: Other way, exactly times to look the other way very
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: well could And of course, who are we to say
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: that they weren't pure accident, oh the Dean. And I'm
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: not at all sure that Bernhardt's mind wasn't sound as
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: a dollar? After all, wasn't he all American dean, chairman
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: of our alumni fund. What more proof do you want?
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: All right? It never happened, any of it.
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: Yes, indeed, Crue's what I've always said, can't beat a
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: college education. Send us the boy, and we send you
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: back the man. As the twig is bent, so the
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: tree shall grow out of memory, and above all keep
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: a sound grip on reality. Well, good luck in your
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: final examstimpler.
• 30:08

• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. Things I didn't expect from an episode of
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: The Saint a biding satire of higher education, But there
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: you go, folks. It's a fascinating story, really well beyond
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: what we would normally expect from a typical detective show
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: with psychological elements, and of course, as I said, that
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: huge satire of nineteen fifties higher education and the sort
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: of artificialness portrayed. All right, Well, now we turn to
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: listener comments and feedback, and we start out with an
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: email from Peter from Weymouth Door Set in the United Kingdom. Hi,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: I've been listening to your great shows for the past
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: few months and thought I would write to you and
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: thank you for highlighting that robin hood of modern crime
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: The Saint. He has been a favorite character of mine
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: for a very long time and I have a full
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: collection of hardback and paperback books by Leslie Charterer's and
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: I'm also a member of the Saint Club in London.

  Speaker 1: Sherlock Holmes is best known for having societies, but there's
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: also the wolf Pack and now the Saint Club. And
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of literature movies, radio television and even
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: comic strips and comic books with the Saint to be
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: a fan of. And I think the Saint is one
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: of those characters that really does have appeal on both
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: sides of the pawn, with there being both American and
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: UK adaptations of the Saint and so fascinating character. Thanks
• 33:29
