  Speaker 1: On December 3rd, 1949, CBS Radio presented episode 61 of
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: The Adventures of Philip Marlowe, The Kid on the Corner.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Gerald Moore stars as the private detective, asked by a
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: young newsboy to locate the boy's missing uncle. The inquiry
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: soon leads Marlowe into a homicide investigation. Gene Levitt wrote
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: this broadcast, directed and produced by Norman MacDonald, with Ford
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: as sponsor. And now, we return to the original broadcast.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Get this and get it straight. Crime is a sucker's road,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: and those who travel it wind up in the gutter
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: of the prison of the grave. This time it started
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: with a kid hawking papers on Hollywood Boulevard and moved
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: from there to a house full of hate on a
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: quiet street, a blonde liar on ice skates, and a
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: corpse in a burned-out shack. And it all wound up
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: right where it really began, in the heart of the
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: kid on the corner.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: From the pen of Raymond Chandler, outstanding author of crime fiction,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: comes his most famous character in The Adventures of Philip Marlowe. Now,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: with Gerald Moore, starred as Philip Marlowe, we bring you
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: tonight's exciting story, The Kid on the Corner.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: The Kid on the.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Corner After a day jammed full of heat waves in December,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: actresses who passed mascara and long A's off as talent,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and producers with glossy convertibles and holes in their shoes,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the world looked as phony as a $ 7 bill. And
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: when I finally closed my office, stepped out onto Hollywood
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Boulevard into the glare from miles of sheet iron Christmas
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: trees on lamppost trunks, and watched a loud speaker Santa
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Claus with neon reindeer trundle by in a cloud of
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: artificial snow, I'd have gladly traded all of Hollywood, California
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: for one quiet Vermont hillside and thrown my license in
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: to boot. All of which convinced me that what Marlowe
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: needed most was a martini in his own apartment, a
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: good book, and a night's sleep in that order. So
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I started home after them, but only got as far
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: as the middle of the street. It was the kid
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: who sold papers on the corner.
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Mr.
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: Marlowe, can you spare him enough? Got to talk to you.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Okay, Tommy.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Let's get out of the street first, huh? I'm not
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: so good at dodging fenders.
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: Oh, yeah, sure.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: What's on your mind, kid?
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: That's about my Uncle Bert.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Bert Larson.
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: He's gone, Mr. Marlowe.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: What about your family, Tommy? Don't they know where he is?
• 2:48
  Speaker 7: I don't have no family. I've been living with Uncle
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: Bert in a flat down in Van Ness. Hey, if
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: you haven't had your dinner yet, maybe you'd eat with
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: me in the cafeteria, huh? It's real important to me, Mr.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Marlowe.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Anything that's important to you, kid, is important to me.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Let's go in.
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: Oh, swell.
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: I should have known something was wrong when I heard
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: him walking around. Late last night, you know? He said
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: he was after a drink of water, but he's got
• 3:11
  Speaker 7: those metal plates kind of like caps on his shoes, so...
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: I knew he was all dressed, only I was too
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: sleepy to think anything about it then.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Maybe he just got an early start and he's been
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: busy today, huh?
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: No, it's not like that, Mr.
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: Marlowe.
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: Something's wrong.
• 3:24
  Speaker 8: Well, you have, gentlemen.
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: The pork's nice tonight. Stew's the best deal for the money, Mr.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Marlowe.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: I'll have the stew, please.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you better make it two, miss.
• 3:32
  Speaker 9: Okay, a couple of stews coming up.
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: See, when I got up this morning, I found this
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: envelope on the dresser. It was 200 bucks inside and
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: this was written on the front.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Let's see it. Dear Tommy, must leave town on business.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I'll send more money soon. Be a good kid and
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: take care of yourself, Uncle Bert. I see what you mean. Yeah.
• 3:53
  Speaker 7: I spent all day trying to find out where he went.
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: I checked everything but the airport. I know he wouldn't
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: take a plane. He gets dizzy just standing on a curb.
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: No luck, though.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Milk, Mr.
• 4:02
  Speaker 10: Marlowe?
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: No, I'll have coffee, Tommy. I feel rugged. And there's
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: a table over in the corner. Come on, huh? Okay.
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: What really makes it fishy is that Uncle Bert's got
• 4:11
  Speaker 7: no out-of-town business. Besides, he's never been out in front
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: more than 20 bucks in his life.
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: I can't figure it.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Now, look, Tommy, if you're really worried you don't want me,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: you ought to go to the police right away.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Cops?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: No, I can't.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: Well, Uncle Bert's been awful good to me, but, well,
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: I guess he's really kind of a bum. You see,
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: he's a gambler, Mr.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Marlowe.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: A bookie.
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: Just a harmless small-timer, sure, but I'd get him in
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: an awful jam if I called the cops.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: Will you try to find him for me? I got dough.
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: I'll pay you whatever you charge.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Don't worry about the money, Tommy.
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: I got one lead for you. This name here in
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: the back of the envelope.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: See? Yeah. Lester Carney. And the number 3,004 and a half.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Does that mean anything to you, kid?
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: No.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: I'd have looked that guy up myself on how far
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: a kid could get.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: Gee, Mr. Marlowe, I'm sure my uncle didn't leave town.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: It's something else. It's gotta be. He's in some kind
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: of trouble.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Now, Tommy, you know that he might be on the
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: wrong end of it, don't you?
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah. Well, if that's right, I want to find it
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: out fast, Mr.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Marlowe.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: Here's a picture of him.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: Mm-hmm.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Scared, son?
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: Me scared? Nah. Not for myself, anyway. I.
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, I.
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: Yes, I am, kind of.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Well, okay, Tommy, eat your dinner, then get back to work.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I'll see what I can find out, huh? I patted
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: my new client on the shoulder and left the cafeteria.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: But I was sure of one thing. The dry rot
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: that gets to most people in Hollywood wouldn't touch a
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: hard-working kid named Tommy Larson. He was already smarter at
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: 15 than a lot of citizens get at 50. I
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: stopped in a phone booth and found the name Lester
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Carney listed in the book at 8110 Cherokee Street. That
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: turned out to be an oversized California Spanish model that
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: had taken lots of old-fashioned wealth to build. Halfway up
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the curving walk to the already-opened front door, I heard
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: the voices.
• 6:10
  Speaker 9: All right, children, if that's the way you feel, I
• 6:11
  Speaker 9: don't want you in this house another night.
• 6:13
  Speaker 11: Well, I'm sorry, Mom, but I don't think it's fine.
• 6:15
  Speaker 11: I'm telling lies, but a part of me is going
• 6:17
  Speaker 11: to leave him.
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: But I would like to know about.
• 6:20
  Speaker 11: My back salary first.
• 6:21
  Speaker 9: You'll get your back salary, my girl. Don't worry about that.
• 6:24
  Speaker 12: Now get out.
• 6:25
  Speaker 9: Very well, ma'am. Excuse me, sir.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, sure.
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: Well, what do you want?
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I'm looking for Mr. Lester Carney. Is he in?
• 6:32
  Speaker 9: He is not.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Would you mind telling me where I can locate him?
• 6:34
  Speaker 9: I don't know. And I don't care anymore.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Just a minute, just a minute. Is he with Bert Larson, maybe?
• 6:40
  Speaker 9: I don't know what you're talking about. Now get out
• 6:42
  Speaker 9: of here.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: And good night to you, too, Mrs. Carney. Hey! Hey, Susan!
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Just a minute, baby.
• 6:50
  Speaker 11: Who are you calling baby?
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I call anybody baby when they're as cute as
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: you are.
• 6:53
  Speaker 11: You're not so bad yourself.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Well, now that that's established, let's get friendly.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: I'm always friendly.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: But then not, huh?
• 7:02
  Speaker 11: Oh, there's going to be trouble in that house.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 7:05
  Speaker 11: Well, good night, mister.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Now, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: I'll give you a lift in the car. Let me
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: have your bag.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: Well, all right.
• 7:13
  Speaker 9: Thank you.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Say, what about that trouble you spoke of, Susan? What
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: did you mean?
• 7:20
  Speaker 11: It's Mrs.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: Cullen.
• 7:21
  Speaker 13: Julie.
• 7:22
  Speaker 11: She isn't as pretty as she used to be. She's
• 7:25
  Speaker 11: turned her aunt's head. She's driven that poor husband of
• 7:27
  Speaker 11: hers out of his mind. He almost never comes home nowadays.
• 7:31
  Speaker 11: Practically lives in his studio.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Studio? What kind?
• 7:34
  Speaker 11: Photography. It's way up in the Hollywood Hills someplace.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Susan, did you ever hear either of them mention a
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Bert Lawson?
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: No.
• 7:42
  Speaker 11: Why, who's he?
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Gambler? I gather from Julia that Connie's blowing the family fortune, eh?
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Sure he is.
• 7:48
  Speaker 11: And that's not all she's driven him to.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: No?
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: What else?
• 7:52
  Speaker 11: What do you think? Another woman, of course.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 7:55
  Speaker 11: An ice skater named Carol King at the Igloo. That's
• 7:59
  Speaker 11: that nightclub with the skating show.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been there. Does Mrs. Connie know?
• 8:03
  Speaker 11: Oh, she suspects. That's why she wants me to spy
• 8:06
  Speaker 11: on her. But I wouldn't because I don't blame him
• 8:08
  Speaker 11: one bit. Not with Julia being like she is.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Maybe you're right, Susan. Then again, maybe you've got your
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: cause and effect backward, huh?
• 8:16
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 8:18
  Speaker 11: I don't know anything about that. But that poor man's
• 8:20
  Speaker 11: been driven so crazy, he's threatened to kill her. Well,
• 8:25
  Speaker 11: here's where I get out. And stay out.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I dropped Susan off at the car stop and headed
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: out Sunset Boulevard for Westwood in a club called the Igloo,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: which looked more like a down-at-the-heel Taj Mahal than an
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Eskimo's bedroom. Inside, a line of fast-moving ostrich plumes with
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: rye-crisp waistlines and imitation sable zipped over a short sheet
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: of tinted ice toward the climax of chorus numbers, while
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: I bluffed my way backstage and intimidated the callboy into
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: sending over one Carole King. She turned out to be
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: left in in the lineup out front, so I sat
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: down on a cold trunk and waited until the curtain fell.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: And I got up to greet an athletic blonde with
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: more than healthy face, who sidled dubiously toward me, ice
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: skates and all, and I introduced myself and told her
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: I was looking for Burt Lawson.
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: Why are you looking for Burt Lawson, Marla?
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Well, because people say he's disappeared. Now, I know he's
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: a bookie. You don't have to protect him on that score,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: and I'm no cop. Just want to know where he's gone. Okay.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: I hear he made a real killing yesterday, the first
• 9:32
  Speaker 8: one in his life.
• 9:33
  Speaker 9: I understand he's leaving town to retire.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Who's going to make book for you from now on? Nobody.
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: I never play the voices. My friends do.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, friends like Lester Carney?
• 9:42
  Speaker 14: Lester.
• 9:44
  Speaker 8: Well, now we get down to business. Looks not like
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: you're working for a wife, Seamus.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, again, sugar. I'm after Bert Larson, nothing else. That's
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: why I want to talk to your friend. Where is he?
• 9:54
  Speaker 8: Lester Carney is no friend of mine.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: You know, you should be smart enough to know you're
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: just wasting your time with that picture.
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: Bud, he was my friend, sure, but that's all off,
• 10:02
  Speaker 8: as of an hour ago.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: We're all through.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: Watch this.
• 10:06
  Speaker 8: I gave him the boot.
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Did he run out of blank checks?
• 10:10
  Speaker 8: I ought to bust your shin wide open for that.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Keep those skates on the floor, honey.
• 10:13
  Speaker 14: Then skip the cracks. I threw them out because I
• 10:16
  Speaker 14: got sick and tired of waiting. Kept me on the
• 10:19
  Speaker 14: string for months with nothing but promises. Said he hated
• 10:22
  Speaker 14: his wife, but when it comes down to cases, he
• 10:24
  Speaker 14: refused to leave her.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Why?
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: I don't know.
• 10:25
  Speaker 15: Got some holdover, and he wasn't nerve enough to break.
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: So I wrapped him up in a neat little bundle
• 10:32
  Speaker 8: and sent him home. It was a mess.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: I'll bet. Between you and Julia, he must be in
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: a great frame of mind tonight.
• 10:39
  Speaker 8: That's his problem now, brother, not mine.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: What is yours? How to keep your life on ice?
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: No, white guy. For your information, I'm quitting this show.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: I'm going to make a clean break all along.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Happy landings. But look, what's the connection, if any, between
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Lawson and Carney?
• 10:54
  Speaker 9: Why, Mr.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Marlowe, I have no idea. Isn't that wonderful? Okay, sugar,
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: that's where we'll leave it for now. But in making
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: that clean break, be sure it's not your neck. I'll
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: see you around. I had nothing tangible to base it on,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: but as I left the igloo and drove back to
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Hollywood for some reason... I kept thinking that Tommy Lawson
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: was right, that his uncle was still in town and
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: in some kind of trouble. And I was sure that
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: at least half of Carole King's story had been lies,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: but why, I couldn't figure. And another idea hit me
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: and hit me hard. I turned onto Cherokee again and
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: drove up to Carney's house at 8110 Park and went in.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: There the vague hunch began to shape up like grim
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: fact because... The front door was wide open and spilling
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: a pale glow from the one light in the house,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: the hall lamp. I saw the note propped under the
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: lamp even before I went in. I left it where
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: it was. It said to whom it may concern... I
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: have paid all my just debts, my affairs are in order,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: and since life has been made intolerable for me, I
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: have destroyed that which made it so. My wife, Julia.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Now there's nothing left that she'll dispose of myself, nor
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: am I sorry, lest it come. I looked up beyond
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: the note and saw her lying at the edge of
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: the circle of light from the lamp. Julia had been
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: strangled by a silk cord that was still embedded in
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: her swollen throat. I turned and started for the phone.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: There we are.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I got here a little too late, huh? Or is
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: it too soon?
• 12:28
  Speaker 10: My wife's dead, so what's the difference? Better stand still,
• 12:30
  Speaker 10: because I'll shoot fast. Who are you, and what are
• 12:33
  Speaker 10: you doing here?
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Name's Marlow, and I assume you're Connie. All right, I'm
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: a private detective trying to find Bert Lawson. In the process,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: I got mixed up in your little fiasco from one
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: end to the other. Bert Lawson. Just a cheap bookmaker.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: He's one of the very few people who ever gave
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: me a fair break. Where is he, Connie? Do you know? No.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Does it matter?
• 12:54
  Speaker 10: Too bad you brought it into this now. I'm going
• 12:57
  Speaker 10: to do what I've decided to do. It's the most personal,
• 12:59
  Speaker 10: private affair.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: It's your party. Maybe you better think it all over again.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: I've already thought it over. Thoroughly. Turn around and walk
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: through that door to the kitchen. Go on. Sure, sure.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: All right. Stop there. Now, open that door on your right.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: This one? Yes.
• 13:23
  Speaker 10: Years ago, that cellar was filled with the best wines
• 13:26
  Speaker 10: the world had to offer.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: What happens? You pull too many corks?
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Find out for yourself, Marlowe! In just a moment, the
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: second act of Philip Marlowe.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: But first.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Will Tyrone Power listen to Jack Benny's siren song? Will
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Ty consent to portray CBS's great Sunday night musician and
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: lover in the movie The Life of Jack Benny? Tune
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: in tomorrow and find out. No, there's never a question
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: about the quality and quantity of comedy and sheer entertainment
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: on CBS on Sunday night. And remember, the Jack Benny
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Show is heard on all of the CBS stations. Now
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: with our star, Gerald Moore, we return to the second
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: act of Philip Marlowe and tonight's story, The Kid on
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: the Corner.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Lester Carney bouncing the private detective down the cellar stairs.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Had been rough on both the inner and outer man
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: and my jaw was bleeding where his heavy signet ring
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: had connected. I was back on my feet through the
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: dusty jumble of barrels and boxes over to a grimy
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: side window and finally out onto the street. I found
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: neither confessed killer nor car any place in sight, which
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: made my next step a return trip into the house
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: and a call to Lieutenant Matthews.
• 15:00
  Speaker 13: All right, Marla, from your client to Julia Carney to
• 15:02
  Speaker 13: that ice skater and back to Julia Carney. Now, Dad,
• 15:05
  Speaker 13: I follow, but the why I don't. Where's the connection
• 15:08
  Speaker 13: between the newsboy's uncle and this guy you say is
• 15:10
  Speaker 13: on the way out?
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: This, uh.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Lester Carney, Matthews. I don't know.
• 15:14
  Speaker 13: You don't know? You're not saying.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Which, Phil?
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Well, maybe it's a little of each. Now, look, Lieutenant, I...
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Just a second.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: What is it, Marlow?
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Hold the wire, will you, Matthews?
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Okay, but make it snappy, will you, Phil? Killer on
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: the loose isn't such a good idea if he's promising
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: on himself, or... Might decide to take somebody else along,
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: you know. Three thousand four and a half, North Westmore.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: Three thousand four and a half.
• 15:35
  Speaker 11: What?
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: What? Oh, a piece of paper, Matthews, in the dead
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: woman's hand.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: Oh, now you're finding it.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: It's got an address on it. The same address that
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: was on the back of the envelope Tommy's uncle left
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: for him.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: Well, this address could be the connection I asked you about.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the hook between Uncle Bert and the Connie's.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll get right over there. Matthews, wait a minute.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Let me try it alone first, will you? I think
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: it'll play better that way.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: And keep the kid's uncle out of the police.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Lineup that way. Uh-uh, Motto, I can't. Now, wait a minute, Matthews, please.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking of the kid.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I... Okay.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Attaboy.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Hear from you again.
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: Goodbye.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: I knew that the 3000 block on North Rossmoor wasn't
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: even close to the Hollywood Hills, which meant that the
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: address couldn't be the dilettante photographer's studio that the Carney's
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: ex-maid had described. And 20 minutes later, when I was
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: out of my car and standing next to the doorbell
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: marked 3,004 and a half, I knew something else. Because
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: the name underneath was Carol King. A light showed from
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: someplace deep inside, and my leaning on the doorbell only
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: proved that it worked. There was no answer at 3,004
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: and a half, but 3,004, the other twin to the duplex,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: was different. It featured a sweet old lady who shattered
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: the illusion the second she opened her mouth.
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: I suppose you're just another one of that king girl's friends, eh?
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Why, do I look the type, Granny?
• 16:52
  Speaker 9: There is no type, young man. Miss Carol King entertains
• 16:55
  Speaker 9: all sorts.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, which might include a recent someone who's gray at
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: the temples short and maybe talks a lot about the ponies.
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: Huh?
• 17:01
  Speaker 9: How would I know what a guest to talk about?
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Oh, you've got to be kidding. Look, honey, a woman's
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: been murdered tonight. Murdered?
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: I knew it.
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: I knew it.
• 17:10
  Speaker 9: She had to come to a bad end, but only yesterday.
• 17:12
  Speaker 16: I told him.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Hold it. Hold it, Granny. Carol is not the one
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: who's dead. Oh. Yes.
• 17:19
  Speaker 9: Well, I'm glad.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Sticks out all over you. Now, look, what about that man?
• 17:22
  Speaker 9: Well, he was here about 30 minutes ago, just the
• 17:24
  Speaker 9: two of them drinking that hard liquor like it was
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: water and making enough noise to raise the devil itself.
• 17:29
  Speaker 9: Farewell party, they called it.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Did you see him leave?
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: No, no.
• 17:33
  Speaker 9: Henry made me come in then, and I... Well, I mean.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I know what you mean. You missed it. Okay, Granny,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: now look, how do we get in here without kicking
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: the door down? Come on, sweetheart, it's important. There may
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: be a body inside.
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: A body? Oh, well, how awful. Here, here. Over here,
• 17:49
  Speaker 9: behind this ledge.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: That's better.
• 17:50
  Speaker 9: You always kept a spare key. Yes, yes, here it is.
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: You do it. I'm too shaky.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: You shouldn't be. Just think of tomorrow, Granny, and the
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: news you'll have for one and all.
• 18:00
  Speaker 9: The light switch is on your right there. See anything?
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: No. How many rooms here?
• 18:07
  Speaker 9: Bedroom, kitchen, and bath, aside from this. Anything in there?
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: No.
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: You suspect foul play, all right, don't you?
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: The foulest? Don't let it worry you, because... Hey, those
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: photos there on the wall. They're taken from Mulholland Drive,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: aren't they? One by day, one by night, both in
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: the same spot, the Hollywood Hills? Sure, sure.
• 18:28
  Speaker 9: That's where he has the studio, that Lester fellow.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that Lester fellow. Granny, do you know where it is?
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, Mulholland Drive and where? You know, that street
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: runs for miles along the top of the mountain.
• 18:38
  Speaker 9: Well, of course I do. I was born and raised
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: here in Los Angeles.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Granny, where? Mulholland and where?
• 18:43
  Speaker 9: Mulholland, Laurel Canyon Boulevard, just south of the intersection.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Thank you, sweetheart, and goodbye. Oh, wait.
• 18:48
  Speaker 9: One moment now, if you please.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: What's the matter?
• 18:50
  Speaker 9: What's your name, officer? I know my rights. Your name
• 18:52
  Speaker 9: and your division.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Granny, dear, I'm no cop.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Huh?
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: I said I'm no cop.
• 18:56
  Speaker 9: Oh, not a police officer. Well, then who are you?
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Just a passerby. A stranger in the night. Good night, Granny.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: All the way from Rossmoor to Sunset, then west to
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Laurel Canyon Boulevard, I kept worrying about Tommy Larson and
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: the uncle who, from where I stood, needed at least
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: worrying about no matter which way things played. But when
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: I was on the strip of macadam that twists its
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: way upward toward Mulholland Drive like a snake writhing from
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: a long, long bellyache, I forgot about both client and
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: relatives alike. Because at the top and a little to
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: the south, where Granny had said it would be... Lester
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Carney's studio, all right, but burned to the ground.
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: Well, he selects my way, George.
• 19:41
  Speaker 12: You'll go fast, huh, Chief? Yeah, it wasn't 20 minutes
• 19:44
  Speaker 12: on this one. Hey, mister, where are you going? Some
• 19:46
  Speaker 12: of that metal stuff's still pretty hot. Who are you,
• 19:49
  Speaker 12: with a law firm?
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: No, chief, I'm a private detective named Marlowe. I was
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: wondering if Lester Kearney was caught in there. He owned
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: the shack. I know.
• 19:56
  Speaker 12: Is he a friend of yours?
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: No, it's strictly business. He's wanted for murder. Yeah, he
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: was wanted for murder, Phil. He was burned to a
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: crisp in there.
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: Hello, Casey.
• 20:03
  Speaker 12: Hello, Matthews. Well, what's your guess? He started on purpose?
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: No, suicides hardly ever burn themselves to death. No, no.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: He probably took some sleeping pills or poison and then
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: a cigarette he left going and did this, you know?
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Hey, by the way, Phil, you saw Connie tonight. You
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: think you might recognize him?
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: Might.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's over there. There isn't much. Oh, see you, Casey.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: Right, Matthews.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Hey, Garcia. Hey, you tied Connie and this fire together
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: kind of fast, didn't you, Lieutenant? I just found out
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: about this place. Yeah, but you work alone, Marlowe.
• 20:30
  Speaker 12: I got help.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, there it is. All that's left. See anything? Yeah,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: that ring. I noticed it earlier tonight. And the watch? No,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I don't remember what kind of... Hey, Matthews.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: What is it? What are you staring at, Phil? Come
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: on over here.
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: Come on.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: See this little piece of metal?
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I think it's... Watch out! You know, fire makes things hot.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Hot things burn and... Marlowe, what is it? An idea. Yeah,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: like what? Like this isn't suicide after all. Like it's murder, Matthews.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Come on, we gotta get to our phone quick.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: Los Angeles International Airport Central Dispensary's office.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Look, miss, this is important. I'm calling for Detective Lieutenant
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Matthews at police headquarters. What passenger flights have left in
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: the last half hour?
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Passenger flights?
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: Well, there have been two, sir. One to Dallas, Texas,
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: and the other to Chicago. Both American Airlines.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: Nothing out of the country? Well, what are you getting at?
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute, Matthew.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: However, there is a flight scheduled to leave at 10.10.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Uh-huh.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: That's just five minutes from now.
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: That's going to Manila.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: Mercury Airways. Shall I connect?
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hurry, will you, please? Yes, sir. Hey, Matthews, this
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: may be it. I'm glad for you.
• 21:51
  Speaker 13: Mercury Airways.
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: Central dispatcher's office, Mercury. There's a call from the police
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: here for you. Go ahead, sir.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Look, your 10-10 flight from Manila, is it going out
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: on schedule?
• 22:01
  Speaker 11: Yes, sir.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: The plane's standing by for the passenger bill now.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, then tell me this. Is there a passenger aboard
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: named Bert Larson?
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: Larson?
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: One moment, please, sir. Hurry, will you? This Larson killed
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: Lester Conley. Will you hold it, Matthews?
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir. We have a Bert Larson aboard.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, good. Keep him there and don't let that plane
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: get up in the air, do you hear? The man's
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: wanted for murder. But don't do anything else either. Just
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: let him sit and wait for us. You got that?
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: Yes, sir. I understand.
• 22:21
  Speaker 9: That.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Fine. We'll be there as soon as we can. Goodbye.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Come on, Matthews. It's your show from here on in.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Sirens included.
• 22:35
  Speaker 16: Okay, Marlow, okay, enough. So we're on our way to
• 22:39
  Speaker 16: the airport. We're going to catch her, kill her, everything
• 22:41
  Speaker 16: is great. But first, how do things add up? Mooney,
• 22:45
  Speaker 16: take it easy.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Five seconds more or less, never yet turn the trick.
• 22:48
  Speaker 9: Okay, Lieutenant.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Were you saying something, Matthews? Yeah, yeah, I'm saying I
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: don't know which end is up, Phil.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: Look.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Lester Carney killed his wife, right? Right. Why?
• 22:58
  Speaker 16: Because he wanted her out of the way so that
• 22:59
  Speaker 16: he and a cheap little monster named Carol King can
• 23:02
  Speaker 16: live happily ever after.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Well, divorce wouldn't do that for him, huh?
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: No, Moody!
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think so.
• 23:08
  Speaker 16: Probably because Julia Carney had a real tight grip on
• 23:10
  Speaker 16: the purse strings.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: Oh.
• 23:12
  Speaker 16: Maybe something more, like it's not very nice pass for
• 23:14
  Speaker 16: a guest. Yeah, yeah, but the purse strings, the money,
• 23:16
  Speaker 16: that's where Bert Lawson figures in, huh?
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: A bookie with a clank. No, no, blackmail.
• 23:21
  Speaker 16: Now, I figure Bert Larson knew about Connie and Carol King.
• 23:24
  Speaker 16: He must have stopped by once to pick up or
• 23:26
  Speaker 16: pay off a bet at the right time.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and from there, what? And from there, the team
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: of Carol and Lester killed Lester's wife. Yeah, which we've covered.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: But not in detail. Now, listen. You see, after the murder,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Lester planned to kill himself. Yeah. Or at least make
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: it look like that.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 23:39
  Speaker 16: A suicide note from Old Holland Studio burned down the works.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and the body we found.
• 23:43
  Speaker 16: That's an added attraction. Burt Larson included in the last minute.
• 23:47
  Speaker 11: What?
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: The wife and then the blackmailer? Ah, you're getting it.
• 23:50
  Speaker 16: Drugged while drinking at Carol's, where he thought that he
• 23:53
  Speaker 16: was going to get paid off in money, then up
• 23:55
  Speaker 16: to Mulholland Drive, ring watch and flames added. Oh, and
• 23:58
  Speaker 16: then out here at the airport headed for Manila.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Lester Carney. Uh-huh. Hey, Mooney, we're getting close. You're going
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: to kill the siren. Okay, Mama. Now, Phil, how do
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: you know all this? I mean, the switch. You know,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: what makes it so?
• 24:11
  Speaker 16: That piece of metal I burned my fingers on, Matthews?
• 24:13
  Speaker 16: It was a tap from a shoe. And Bert Larson
• 24:16
  Speaker 16: wore taps. The rest of it adds from there.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, including Connie at the airport now as Larson.
• 24:22
  Speaker 16: Sure, who'd be looking for a beat-up second-rate bookie who
• 24:24
  Speaker 16: decided to leave town? Aside from a nephew, that is. Yeah,
• 24:27
  Speaker 16: aside from a nephew who tried every place but the airport.
• 24:30
  Speaker 16: Uncle Bert couldn't stand planes.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: The brakes, Matthews. Oh, here we are.
• 24:33
  Speaker 16: Yeah, just you and me and Mooney and a killer.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Aren't you coming, Phil? Uh, no, I think I'll wait here, Matthews.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: I got some thinking to do. About the scum you
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: sometimes meet in the night?
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: No.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: About the kind of a kid I almost never meet
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: in the night. See? Yeah. All right, come on, Mooney.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Maybe our boy will make a break for it, I hope.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: Lester Carney didn't make a break for it, and an
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: hour later when they picked up Carol King, it was
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: the same thing. Each of them was surly, ugly, but
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: they talked. So when I finally left police headquarters, where
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: I try as he would for Tommy's sake, Matthews had
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: found it impossible to skip over Burt Larson's connection as
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: a blackmailer. It was pushing midnight, and I was dog-tired.
• 25:26
