• 3:01
  you listen a little later this evening to Henry J. Taylor, one of
• 3:06
  the nation's best informed mus authorities, podcasting from London on ABC The Man from
• 3:13
  Homicide. According to Webster's Dictionary, homicide is the killing of one human being
• 3:23
  by another. According to Lieutenant Lou Dana, it's the beginning of a dirty,
• 3:28
  dangerous job that doesn't end until the killer is found. I don't like
• 3:32
  killers. Every week at this time, the American Broadcasting Company brings you,
• 3:53
  transcribed the star of Stage and Screen, Dan Duryea as Lieutenant lou Dana,
• 3:58
  the man from Homicide. You can get used to the dead. It takes
• 4:15
  time, but you can do it. You can get used to the men
• 4:17
  have given up their lives suddenly to a knife, a piece of lead pipe,
• 4:23
  or a garner a broken bottom. In time, you can get used
• 4:28
  to all of that. But when the dead are very young, you look
• 4:32
  down the beam of a police flashlight to see the death pill and spreading over
• 4:36
  cheeks that still wear a youthful fuzzs. No, you never get used to
• 4:44
  that. They find them like this, Dave, Just like this, Lieutenant
• 4:50
  Bump came up to the alley looking for a place to flop. I guess
• 4:55
  saw him. There must have been right after the kid got it. Excuse
• 4:59
  me a minute of ten, right after the kid got it. Yes,
• 5:06
  the blood hadn't clotted yet, the large pool had made looked purple under my
• 5:13
  life. They bleed out fast when the throat is slashed. Picture boys,
• 5:18
  are he lietenant in a minute, Dave? Ye notice his arm right here?
• 5:27
  Look? Yeah, what would you give him seventeen seventeen eighteen. Settlers
• 5:36
  start him young these days makes for more business later on seventeen eighteen. Well
• 5:45
  he got the man off his back the hard way. Any anything on him,
• 5:50
  I see, I don't think so. No. Here's his wallet,
• 5:57
  though nobody cut his throat just for money. Do with it? A couple
• 6:02
  of bucks, no social security. Here's his draft card. Hold a light
• 6:09
  a minute. Donald M. Shellbarger twelve sixty four, Martin. Well,
• 6:18
  I guess I better go talk to his family. Nice job. Yeah,
• 6:25
  how did he stand in the draft? I didn't look Yeah, four f
• 6:39
  twelve sixty four. Martin was a tenement, no worse, no better than
• 6:44
  other tenements. It was after one in the morning when I got there,
• 6:48
  but you can usually find somebody up on a hot summer night. I found
• 6:53
  out that Don shell Barger lived on the third floor. Rare. No answer
• 6:59
  at the door, so I settle down to wait. I must have been
• 7:02
  tired. Hey, mm, somewhere else to sleep it off? Will your
• 7:08
  jack? Oh you live here, you can call it living. Let's go
• 7:15
  inside and I'll wait on me. Oh couple, what is it now?
• 7:20
  We better go inside? All right, We'll go inside. Where were you
• 7:30
  tonight, Mischelle Barger shell Barger? Please? I lost that years ago.
• 7:34
  Gloria Gay, you got a badge? Yeah? Here, Lieutenant Dana,
• 7:41
  all right, I was working. I'm a dancer. What kind of a
• 7:46
  dancer? Just the kind you think I am? And where were you dancing
• 7:51
  tonight? What's the charge? Let it go for? No? Let me
• 7:57
  see your arm, Gloria, Hey, you gotta thing for arms? Hmmm,
• 8:03
  nice smooth skin. You could have just asked me. I could have
• 8:07
  who is Donald Shellbarker, Gloria, miss Gay? And he's my brother?
• 8:13
  What's he done? Now? Live here with you? Off? And onya
• 8:16
  mother and father dead? I don't know. My father took a potto when
• 8:20
  down was four. My mother pulled out about three years later. I tried
• 8:24
  to take care of him. Since you did a great job, city paying
• 8:28
  you a salary to mind my business? How long has your brother been taking
• 8:33
  dope? Mis Gay? That's a lie. Sure you don't know how long?
• 8:39
  Or you don't want to say. I didn't know he hasn't been how
• 8:43
  much? Late, labor, I didn't know, all right, miss Gay?
• 8:52
  Your brother was murdered tonight? No, who might have told me?
• 9:00
  Right off? You might have told Lad, I'm sorry. I'm homicide detail,
• 9:05
  Miss Gay. My first responsibility is to catch murderers. Anything else has
• 9:11
  to come second. Eighteen eighteen. He was no any reason for anyone killing
• 9:16
  him. No, I guess even I didn't know him too well. I
• 9:22
  tried to raise him. But you know, no, you don't anybody else
• 9:30
  live in this apartment, Miss Gay. My husband off and on here to
• 9:33
  explain that there hasn't been anything between us for a long time. But I
• 9:37
  let him stay because he can't find another place. He's a You wouldn't understand
• 9:43
  that either. Got any idea where he is now? There's a bar over
• 9:48
  on Elm. It's just called Ed. Frank's kind of handy man there,
• 9:52
  Frank. Okay, anything else that's Don's picture, nothing else. I'll be
• 10:05
  in touch, sure, and I'm sorry. Just leave me, Will you
• 10:07
  just leave me? I left her standing alone in the tenement apartment with its
• 10:18
  water stained ceiling and peeling walls. This was the home from which Donald M.
• 10:26
  Shellbarger, aged eighteen, had tried to escape. Well, he finally
• 10:33
  made it. What catches most killers, not big thinking routine. On my
• 10:45
  way to Ed's place, I stopped in headquarters to see how the routine was
• 10:48
  sifting out. Got something on the shell Barger boiled tennis. Yeah, I
• 10:52
  been checking with Henderson Narcotics. They had a warner out for the kid as
• 10:56
  a peddler, been watching him to try to pin down sauce Dave. Where
• 11:01
  was Henderson tonight? He didn't say, lou Yeah, well there's the motive
• 11:09
  for us anyway, his supplier. I found out the kid was going to
• 11:11
  be picked up. He didn't want to be stooled on. Oh, he
• 11:15
  sure didn't. What's the record on the kid? Not much arrest shoplifting eight
• 11:20
  months ago, probation suspicion cough theft two months later in sufficient evidence and since
• 11:26
  there's nothing, not hard to figure is it took a lot of loot to
• 11:31
  buy his medicine, around twenty dollars a day. The kid made it by
• 11:37
  stealing for a while and then somebody showed him how he could get his for
• 11:41
  free. He got it all right. Yeah, he notified his family.
• 11:48
  Ho'd they take it? Now? He's got a sister, Well, I
• 11:52
  got a call to make it. A bar head's on elm. You know
• 11:56
  what, No anything other in law of the kids. From what I hear
• 12:01
  is nothing. Two thirty when I hit Ed's Place, a neighborhood bar,
• 12:13
  small and dirty. Two thirty am was after closing. But in bars like
• 12:20
  heads, it makes little difference. They just serve it under the counter and
• 12:24
  coffee cups and answer to my question. The bartender nodded me over to Frank.
• 12:30
  Frank shabby clothes, bloodshot eyes and racing for him. Frank, Yeah,
• 12:39
  sit down, anything good running tomorrow? Oh, tomorrow might be the
• 12:43
  day. It just might be the day. You know. I got a
• 12:46
  theory. You know, every day just one buck on a three horse poll,
• 12:50
  long shots, you see, see someday I got to hit big,
• 12:54
  don't I? Huh? I mean, don't I. Where were you tonight,
• 12:56
  Frank Well law, yeah, right here, captain, right here all
• 13:05
  evening or in the back room, you know, Ask mister McPherson, he
• 13:07
  runs this place, see, and he'll tell you. He'll say Frank,
• 13:11
  He'll say, Frank was here. That's where Frank was. Frank was here.
• 13:13
  McPherson's the owner. Yeah, huh, you married Frank. Nothing's happened
• 13:20
  to glory. No roll up your sleeve, Frank left sleep? Oh sure
• 13:26
  sure, captain? Sure there you want to take yours in a glass.
• 13:31
  So Frank beer so I can afford see. But look it now, it
• 13:35
  stands to reason I'm gonna hit it. Something I don't glow of averages.
• 13:39
  Just three horses. That sent much to ask for, is it? And
• 13:43
  look at look at what I got picked out for tomorrows. You're right here
• 13:45
  now look at Frank. Well the kid don did you ever look at his
• 13:52
  arm? Don? Oh? I know, no, Come on, you
• 13:56
  knew well. I got the word here and there, But I didn't say
• 14:01
  anything to glory because he'll come around. Donald'll snap out of it while he's
• 14:05
  Did you know how he got his money? No? No, no,
• 14:09
  I didn't, Captain law. Look, I swear I didn't talk. Frank,
• 14:11
  Please please look, I didn't. I tell you. If I know
• 14:15
  honest, I would look at Captain. He's almost like my own son.
• 14:20
  Oh. Sure, he's had a little troubled show, but he'll snap right
• 14:22
  out of it any day. Now, he'll come back. The kid got
• 14:28
  it tonight, Oh bad as bad as it can get. We found him
• 14:37
  in an alley with his throat cut. Oh, I need a drink.
• 14:43
  I need a drink. Frank stumbled his way over to the bar and I
• 14:52
  let him go. In the back of the room was a swinging door.
• 14:56
  I went through it, took a few steps down a narrow hallway that wreaked
• 15:01
  a stale beer, and turned the knob on a door lettered office empty,
• 15:09
  big surprise, but the odor of cigar smoke told me it hadn't been empty
• 15:16
  long. And in one wall was a peep hole surveying the bar. I
• 15:22
  looked out. Frank was back at his table, hunched over his racing for
• 15:26
  him, but he wasn't picking winners. He was crying. I took myself
• 15:37
  out of it's place, and Frank didn't look up as I got McPherson's address
• 15:41
  from the bartender after persuasion. It was a good address, and his name
• 15:48
  wasn't ed. It was Andy. He interested me. Just out out of
• 16:00
  the saloon, I got a break. Hey, hey, you, hey,
• 16:06
  my friend, needle Nose. You're not happy to see me. Take
• 16:11
  your hands off me, Dana, you got very heavy hands. I told
• 16:14
  you that before. Take them off you clean? Shoe shoe? Sure,
• 16:18
  I'm clean, Dana, you got nothing on me, you know it?
• 16:19
  Shut up? What were you doing in this neighborhood? Nose? Just passing
• 16:23
  by? I was just passing by, not that it's aning your business,
• 16:27
  Dana, what I do or where I I don't like you. I don't
• 16:33
  like your face. I don't like that needle nose of yours. And Dana,
• 16:37
  you got no right every time you see me the startight. Maybe if
• 16:40
  I keep it up long enough, you'll get out of town. I got
• 16:42
  friends on newspapers, Dana, they'd be glad to hear hands. You haven't
• 16:45
  even got acquaintances. What were you doing around here? Now? Listen,
• 16:51
  Dana, take your hands off me. I know my rights talk. You're
• 16:55
  one of the miserable rats who make recks of these kids. Where do you
• 17:00
  get your stuff? Nose? I got right sight? All right, all
• 17:03
  right, beat me up. Hit me. We're a big man, sure,
• 17:07
  hit me. See what good does you're going? Okay? There are
• 17:11
  other ways, Needle knows. Maybe you'll wish you had the slaps in the
• 17:15
  face. What was I got friends, Dana? Maybe you ain't so bigger
• 17:19
  like your thought? Maybe you Hey, what's the ten dollars for it alone?
• 17:26
  Maybe I'm sorry I hit you ten bucks? Well, thanks? I
• 17:33
  don't get it, then, knows? Don't you get the feeling that maybe
• 17:38
  somebody's watching us. I do, well, what's that got to do?
• 17:45
  How is it gonna look? Huh? I slap you around, we talk,
• 17:49
  I give you money, you took it. Gonna look like your stool,
• 17:53
  isn't it? But I didn't you know, I didn't not. I
• 17:56
  know, sure, But how does it look? You your shaken nose?
• 18:04
  Know what you better do? You better start running fast? Yeah? Yeah.
• 18:17
  I stepped back into the shadows of a warehouse doorway to let needlenose get
• 18:21
  a good start and see who might start trailing it. It wasn't a smart
• 18:26
  move. I stepped into the wrong shadow. Something was dripping water, blood
• 18:45
  my blood. I didn't care. I wasn't curious at all. I had
• 18:52
  the idea something had happened to my head, but I didn't feel anything.
• 18:56
  I didn't feel anything up there at all. My eyes open, and I
• 19:02
  was lying in an alley with the rusted out drain pipe leaking alongside of me.
• 19:07
  But it just seemed exactly the right place to be. I wasn't gonna
• 19:12
  move four o'clock. I wasn't interested. Four o'clock headquarters wasn't far and even
• 19:29
  though walking was pushing one leg in front of the other, that was good
• 19:33
  for me to walk. I could almost think. By the time I hit
• 19:37
  the station, ooh, what happened to you? Games? Dave, funny
• 19:45
  games year, no time, Dave, no time? Get out on all
• 19:49
  points a needle knowsractly. I want him found, and it's gotta be quick.
• 19:53
  Get it on the air, Dave and Dave found Lieutenant. It won't
• 19:59
  be had you got him. Yeah, on a slab in the morgue four
• 20:10
  twenty. Then I was just beginning to care about time again. Outside of
• 20:15
  Dave. I was the only other one in the romo did care. I
• 20:19
  think they put him in lower two. He's not pretty, Lieutenant, He
• 20:23
  wasn't pretty alive. Roll him out, Dave, right there, he is
• 20:36
  funny thing, Lieutenant. He had to die before we found out his real
• 20:41
  name was Henry Henry needle Knows Rackley. For the second time, and one
• 20:48
  night, I was looking down at a man with his throat cut. This
• 20:53
  time I could feel responsible. If it wasn't for me, needle Knows could
• 21:00
  have been still alive, alive and ruining the lives of eighteen year old kids.
• 21:07
  I looked down. I didn't feel sorry at all. Put him back.
• 21:14
  Dave almost five in the morning, I got around to the address I'd
• 21:26
  gotten from the barkeep at Ed's place, Andy McPherson. He was beginning to
• 21:33
  interest me more and more. Somehow I doubted that McPherson was a sound sleeper.
• 21:45
  One of my keys fit the lock, it usually does. I looked
• 21:52
  in all the rooms, found nothing, so I sat down. My head
• 21:59
  was coming around to the point where it was hurting pretty good, and the
• 22:03
  chair was too modern to be comfortable. McPherson had more money than taste than
• 22:11
  a key turned in the lock. Come in a social call, Miss Gay.
• 22:21
  I couldn't sleep. I had to talk to someone. You're a cop,
• 22:26
  yeah, and my apartment doesn't look like this at all. There's a
• 22:30
  little hole in the wall with only two keys. I've got both of them
• 22:36
  an early morning newscast. Why did you come here, miss Gay? My
• 22:42
  job is finding your brother's killer. You're either on one side or the other.
• 22:47
  You don't think much of me. We won't argue it. What's McPherson
• 22:51
  to you. I've been going with him. How'd he get his money?
• 22:55
  I never asked him. It's the same color as all other money. That's
• 22:59
  pretty dip. Look, miss Gay, I want you to go to the
• 23:04
  Windsor hotel. I'm elm register there in your own name right now. I
• 23:11
  want to use you as bait. Will you do it? It's for Dawn,
• 23:15
  Yes, all right, miss Gay. It's only fair to tell you
• 23:22
  that I tried this trick a few hours ago and got a man killed.
• 23:26
  Oh well, you couldn't be that lucky. Twice five thirty a few milk
• 23:40
  wagon drivers and street car jockeys were on their way to work, and a
• 23:44
  few late drunks were on their way home. But the second time, and
• 23:48
  one night, I headed for D's place and it was still open. They
• 23:52
  must have thrown away the keys to that place the day they opened it.
• 23:56
  A track sweeper was having a belt at the bar before starting work, and
• 24:00
  there in the corner was Frank Close, a little shabbier eyes, a little
• 24:06
  more bloodshot, and racing for him, a little more dog geared. Frank
• 24:15
  all along got those three horses picked out yet. I don't know. For
• 24:21
  the first time in my life, I got the feeling it Maybe today isn't
• 24:25
  today. I don't know, Frank about Gloria. What about Gloria? She
• 24:32
  took a hotel room, Frank, I think she found out something about Don's
• 24:36
  killer, and she's scared one to know where she is. Well, sure,
• 24:40
  I wanted maybe you better not tell me the Windsor Hotel. Windsor Hotel
• 24:48
  be seeing you, Frank, I just wanted to let you know. Thanks
• 24:52
  very much. Huh, thanks very much. I got out of Edge's place
• 25:02
  all right. My head was booming like a circus parade, but I was
• 25:06
  smart enough to stay out of the shadows. At the Windsor. The night
• 25:11
  clerk was asleep in his chair, the register in front of him. Gloria
• 25:15
  Gay was in two oh two, second floor. Huh. Anybody could have
• 25:21
  stolen the whole hotel, but who'd want it up the worn flight of stairs
• 25:26
  with the walls painted an institution brown, I knocked on two oh two.
• 25:33
  Who lou Dana. I never thought i'd be glad to see you coming,
• 25:44
  Jumpy said, I don't think we'll have long to wait. What did you
• 25:52
  tell Frank? You don't think, Frank, I don't think Frank can keep
• 25:56
  a secret very long. Did you have to do it that way? No,
• 26:03
  that's the best way I could think of. Do you chew them all
• 26:11
  the time? Yeah, I'm getting on your nerves. You got on my
• 26:15
  nerves the first minute I saw you. I've heard about you, mister Dana.
• 26:23
  You take chances. You don't wait for a killer to come out,
• 26:26
  You go in after him. What are you trying to prove all the time?
• 26:33
  I don't like killers? You married, mister Dana. No, No,
• 26:40
  you wouldn't be. You put on a little tin badge, the other
• 26:45
  type of resigns from the human race. You'll wear it when you go to
• 26:49
  bed, Dana. What is it you don't like? Dana yourself? I
• 26:57
  heard something. Get in the bathroom quick and stay there. If anything happens
• 27:03
  to me, go out the window. I'll beat it. Hi. Oh
• 27:19
  I, I guess I made a mistake. I guess you did. Come
• 27:25
  all the way in, McPherson. Let me get a good look at you.
• 27:29
  Who are you? You know who I am? Yeah, big guy,
• 27:36
  aren't you? What'd you bring with you? A knife or gun?
• 27:41
  Come on in and close the door. Sure, I'll close it. Thanks,
• 27:48
  been a busy evening for you, McPherson. No, he tells me
• 27:52
  a little different this time. I'm not needle noose, and I'm not an
• 27:56
  eighteen year old kid either. A lit so different? All right? Where
• 28:00
  is she you want to know here, I am take a body. Look,
• 28:07
  I killed your brother. But we can still be friends, can't we.
• 28:11
  I told you to stay out of this. You'd have been smarter to
• 28:12
  listen to the Copper. Gloria, and I brought along a gun this time.
• 28:17
  Dana, I hope you got good teeth. You're gonna have to eat
• 28:19
  it. Get back where you were, Gloria. Hold hold it. I'm
• 28:25
  just as good with a gun as a knife. Dana. How I freeze
• 28:27
  copper, Hold on to it, Hold on to it, and get your
• 28:37
  arm broke. You didn't hold on to it. Take care of Frank,
• 28:48
  Gloria. We get a doctor for you. You'll be all right. I
• 28:52
  didn't want to. I didn't want to tell him, Gloriable. He made
• 28:57
  me. Mhmm. It's all right, Frank, it's all right. He
• 29:03
  made me to glory. Yeprank, just this once, I didn't do so
• 29:12
  bad. Yeah, well you did great, Frank, you did Frank.
• 29:21
  Frank. Three and one evening. McPherson, you're a dandy fellow. I
• 29:30
  tak me in, but I'm not talking, not talking. I got a
• 29:33
  lawyer, a lawyer. McPherson at coursed the state about forty thousand dollars to
• 29:40
  electrocute you, and I'm just itching to save him that dough. Come on,
• 29:47
  you got a knife, make a move for it. Come on,
• 29:51
  let me alone, Daniel, Let me alone. Let him alone. Killed
• 29:55
  three people and now he wants to be let alone. Come on, mcphe
• 30:00
  you're a big fellow. One move just that one eyelash. Come on,
• 30:08
  let me alone. Take him in, Dana, he's all through. Yeah,
• 30:15
  I guess he is. I guess he is. I'll stay here with
• 30:21
  Frank. Six o'clock. Frank was right. Today wasn't his day? What
• 30:42
  does a cop think about after a case? All right? Now? I
• 30:48
  was thinking about how a girl named Gloria might have looked before she'd been pushed
• 30:52
  around so hard and so long by the years since her father and mother walked
• 30:56
  out on her. And then I tried to think what loud Dana was like
• 31:02
  as a kid so long ago. I couldn't remember. But I know what
• 31:10
  he is now, A cop who doesn't like killers. You have just heard
• 31:27
  another In a series starring Dan Durier as the Man from Homicide with Larry Dobkin
• 31:33
  as Dave, Mister Douria can be seen starring in Al Jennings of Oklahoma.
• 31:37
  In tonight's cast, you heard Gene Bates as Gloria, Bill bouchet is McPherson,
• 31:41
  and Joe Forte as Needle Knows. Music was by Basil Adlam. The
• 32:00
  Man from Homicide is transcribed and written by A. Louvitties, directed by dwighthauser.
• 32:05
  Be with us again next week, same time, over most of these
• 32:07
  same ABC stations to hear Dan Durier as The Man from Homicide, Lu Cook
• 32:12
  speaking, This program came to you from Hollywood. This is ABC, the
• 32:15
  American Broadcasting Company. Welcome back. I think we may have just found the
• 32:30
  hardest boiled detective of them all, and probably not the nasist. I can
• 32:36
  safely say he is just cold in some ways. I think the show was
• 32:40
  trying to trade on the success of a CBS series Broadways My beat. But
• 32:46
  he's a bit or, I should say, a lot tougher than Danny Clover.
• 32:53
  Shouldn't mention the star of the series is Dan Durier, and Duria is
• 32:59
  another one of those character actors. He was genuinely known for playing tops and
• 33:06
  heavies, real bad guys. In real life, he was, of course
• 33:13
  very different digital old LAFTP. He has his obituary posted from nineteen sixty eight,
• 33:22
  and the thing that he was really known for was he was the tope
• 33:30
  of guy who just love kids, all kids, so just very much the
• 33:36
  opposite of his on screen persona. With that, we turned to some listener
• 33:39
  comments and feedback. Catherine says, this donation is from two sisters, Katherine
• 33:47
  and Mary. Kathy lives in Oakland and Mary lives in Plymouth, California.
• 33:53
  We love your show and listen often. Thanks so much for keeping these shows
• 33:57
  available. Well, thanks so much for listening, marying Kathy. And then
• 34:05
  we do have a comment from Laura, And then we have a comment from
• 34:08
  Laura. I love the show. I listen every day, though I find
• 34:14
  dragging it a bit stressful to listen to, but I have all love all
• 34:17
  your shows. Have you considered a j Raffles stories. I've heard them before
• 34:22
  and they're pretty fun. Thanks and keep up the good work. Well,
• 34:27
  thanks so much, Laura. There were probably some Raffles stories done by BBC,
• 34:34
  and I know those that. There also were some done by the Jim
• 34:40
  French Productions in Seattle, both of which would be under copyright. There was
• 34:45
  there a couple of Raffles series for radio during the Golden Major radio, but
• 34:51
  in my opinion, the Raffles old time radio programs weren't really detective shows and
• 34:58
  were somewhat very quality, so I would not be presenting that by thanks for
• 35:02
  the question. Finally, we have a comment from Joan on the previous series
• 35:07
  we had here Crime and Peter Chambers in episode fifteen twenty eight Max Daily Suicide
• 35:15
  or Murder, Hi Adam. This being the last show in the current series,
• 35:19
  this show proved to be one of the to be the best one of
• 35:22
  them all. When Peter Chambers was at Clark Standish Place and while mister Standers
• 35:29
  is asking are you going to give it to me? I'm nodding my head.
• 35:32
  And then he asked the same question and again again and Powie gets it.
• 35:37
  Way to go, Peter. I'm smiling to myself as he gets it
• 35:40
  perfect. Thank you for bringing back the lineup in a few weeks. I
• 35:45
  so loved that show. Regards from Joan in Ontario, Canada. Well,
• 35:52
  thanks so much, Joan, and definitely enjoyed Crime and Peter Chambers. Now,
• 35:58
  of course, there were some limits on the mysteries and they were somewhat
• 36:01
  limited by the twist that you could get in there because the amount of time
• 36:07
  they had to tell their story compared to some of the previous shows, but
• 36:13
  within that time frame they managed to do a very good job with some compelling
• 36:17
  stories, and Dan Clark really did a superb job as a Peter Chambers.
• 36:23
  So I'm definitely very happy with the twenty one weeks that we had with this
• 36:30
  probably underrated series, so I'm glad everyone enjoyed it, and we do have
• 36:36
  the lineup coming in two weeks, So if lou Dana's not quite your cup
• 36:43
  of tea, Lieutenant Guthrie is waiting in the wings, well that will do
• 36:46
  it for today. We will be back tomorrow with the Adventures of Philip Marlow,
• 36:52
  and join us next Tuesday for one more episode with the Man from Homicide.
