Speaker 1 (00:01):
A note to the listener. The following story contains some
adult content and language. Hey, you can't. And I was there,
calmed down. He drained her, and then he cleaned her,
and then he cut her up in that please Doddy

(00:21):
Adler Harrison killed Madeleine Marie Evans, God damn it. And
the bastard let her Shaw helped him cover it all up.
He covered it all up. That's some of a bitch.
Wiped me right and the eye and said there wasn't
a party. He said she was never in his house.
We gotta do something. At point, this slowed down a minute.

(00:42):
I mean not me, I mean not we. Obviously I
can't do anything. I'm not a copy but you you
gotta do something. Call someone, Hank Perkins or Slatsky. He
called money for all I care. But we've got to
get back to that house before they get rid of it. Hey,
what to stop? Huh? Just stop for a second. Settled down,
getting all worked up again? Of course I'm worked up bad.

(01:04):
It's all right there. What is the drums? The pad
proved nothing? Of course they do they. I need you
to stop talking now because I need to ask you
some real questions, real questions. Stop talking, just drink your
coffee and settled down. Okay, Now you said he looked

(01:27):
you in the eye and lie to you. Do you
mean Sean? Yes, Sean. And this was in his house.
Of course, it was in his house. And how did
you happen to be at Shaw's house? I asked to
meet with him to ask him some questions, and Adler arranged.
It was Adler there when you met with Shaw. Yes,
he was there. He's always there. And this is why

(01:49):
was Adler there? Because Adler is Shaw's doctor. Apparently he's
sick with what. I don't know. I didn't ask, I
didn't care. What what? What's the problem? Okay? I can
tell you that the first problem is reasonable doubt. This
prescription pad belongs to Adler Harrison, who treats his patient,
Leonard Shaw, in the privacy of his own home. There

(02:11):
was no reason for this pad not to be their hank.
And what about the drugs? What about them? They're not illegal?
And now that we've established that Adler has every right
to be there, the same rules applied to the drugs.
Those were the same drugs that do you think that
Marlin Evans was the only person that ever happened in
a system she's been going almost two years, Hank. There

(02:33):
have definitely been other people who have taken in ad
ministry those drugs since then. There was some unconscious girl
in that movie because of those drugs. I saw what
they were doing in that girl. He's making pornography. If
he's not selling it, then all y'all got is a
guy who makes a bunch of racy home movies and
nothing more. And you don't even have witnesses, any participants,
any victims. So even if you're right about that, you

(02:56):
have no way of proving that it's all on my camp,
my edge. That's not proof, Hank. And none of this
is amissible. Come on, you have a conversation with Shaw,
excuse yourself to use the bathroom, and then sneak around
his house taking pictures, and then you remove what you
think it's evidence without probable cause you didn't witness a crime,

(03:17):
You're not in a public place, you didn't even have
a warrant. Technically, you lifted a doctor's description pad and
his patients pain medication. This isn't a joke. Oh, I
wasn't trying to be funny. I was trying to be realistic.
You've got nothing here. I'm sorry. If I were you,

(03:39):
I'd just be glad he didn't find you snooping. No
one was awakened and was very careful not to be seen.
What you're not making sense, Hank? I thought you said
you were there to ask him some questions. Was the
first time I thought you said? Advert was there tonight? No?
That wasn't tonight, Hank. What did Leonard Shaw know that

(04:02):
you were in his house tonight? Now, Jesus rights, Hank,
tell me you are trust passing on his property. I
can't tell you that. You better try and tell me that, Hanker,
because from where I'm sitting forget thinking straight you are?
You are not thinking at all. You You've got to

(04:23):
stop all this. Please. Don't you want to go home? Huh?
Do you want to see your girls? Of course? I
want to see my girl there. You better wake up, Hank.
I'm wide awake. The hell you are you barging here
in the middle of the night, hooting, hollering like a
crime has been committed. A crime was committed, not by
anyone you accused. The one committing that crime is you.

(04:44):
You don't believe me, my own partner doesn't believe me.
We're not partners anymore. Hanker turned up goddamn thing off. Now, Hank,
you broke the law. You're not a bump the law.
You even telling me that you broke in there? Don't
you understand that I can place you under arrest from

(05:05):
what you just admitted to me. But you won't, won't
I why huh? Because you're my friend and I'm supposed
to turn a blind eye and ignore my duty as
a member of the Los Angeles Police Department. You won't
because you know I'm right. Hey, No, I am right.
It's all there in that damn house. And if pads

(05:26):
and drugs, I may not have have to put it all together,
I will keep going until I can find it on. Hey,
I'm warning you no more of this foolishness voices, and
if I have to beat a confession at of him
to put it all together, so help me, God, I will.
They're Dotty for the corfet from Vot's Popular and the

(05:55):
Los Angeles Harold. This is the Angel of Vine my
old heart. Hanking in no ground because my Angela's Phyllis

(06:23):
told us early on that her mother had kicked hank
out of the house and over the past two months
I listened carefully to try and pinpoint the moment it happened.
I didn't expect that Hank would record a knockdown drag
out with Lois, but at least some indication somewhere that
it had happened. He never did ed. Asking him if
he wanted to go back home was the only time

(06:44):
the subject was ever mentioned, And based on Hank's current
state of mind, I have to say that I wouldn't
want him around either. I was thrown by his recklessness.
I asked myself, when did Hank Briggs get to the
point of beating anything out of anyone? So I assumed
if anyone was going to take a beating, it would
have been Adler. I was wrong. Yeah, the Great Room

(07:12):
guard it. I knew where it is. Thanks, good afternoon,
Mr Seawan. We've got some more talking to do. When here,
I was thinking I would enjoy this flavorless luncheon piece,
Ndla didn't mention a reprise. I would have hoped to

(07:34):
see you in a Virgin World Sport card well at
the very least, and Ascott ad luck he's not here.
I just watched some leaf and he just let you
saunder in here. I wanted to make sure we have
some good old fashiona load time? Is that so good?
Damn right? Oh, I'm damn right now? Am I? Wow? Look?
Who grew a pair of balls since the last time?

(07:57):
Cut that ship out? What do you want? You lied
to me, and you told me there was no party
here that night. For the love of Christ. Again, of
course that was a party here. There's always a party here.
You knew I was lying to you. You weren't even
greater buffoon than I'd imagine if you didn't know that, Yes,
there was a party. No, I didn't know your dead girl.

(08:18):
There are we done? I don't have time for this.
I don't have time for you now. Can I go
back to my slot? Now? How long have you protected
that savage? I run a movie studio in Hollywood, California.
You're gonna have to be a lot more specific than that.
I know what Adler does in this house. Didn't I
tell you the last time that you would leave here

(08:38):
in a squad car? Hang it up? Hanging get up?
Will you pull a gun on me in my own house?
You're sniveling little ship of a man. I should destroy you.
I'll stand it by dad, we'll want to stand you

(09:06):
suit yourself. So Atlas suddenly grew a conscience? Huh? Is
that it is? That why he disappeared. He's been acting
a little funny lately. They say jin makes people go insane.
So whatever it is that he told you, I wouldn't
consider reliable by any stretch. He didn't tell me anything.
He doesn't even know I'm here. Would you point that

(09:27):
damn thing somewhere else before it goes off? Accidentally? I
was in the house out behind the pool. What that's
not important, only that I was in there. Quit a
little synup you've got there. Yeah, you almost sounded as
if you were stimulated by what you saw. You're deranged,
You know. I wouldn't have presumed you to be so delicate.
I mean, due to the very nature of your work
as a riff rap, you must have encountered worse than

(09:48):
a few straps and paddles and cat of nine tales,
maybe even done worse. Come on, you've never fancied a
knight of benzadrine. Hard to earn discipline in a little
nipple twisting. Begging on a man who's pointing a gun
at your head is probably not your brightest idea Shaw,
What that's on there. That's cruelty, it's tortured. Stop being

(10:14):
so dramatic holding women against their will. I have no
knowledge of any women being held in this house against
their will? Mr. Can you deny it? The reels were
right there on that projector I saw your little film
that you have nothing to say about the special requests
of my clients or what they paid for nothing, And
if what they request requires eight or sixty millivate a film,

(10:34):
then that's what it requires. This wasn't varieties or stripper rama,
not not not Bettie Page or Lily Don burlesque. I
saw her. She was unconscious being pleaded with like some
kind of of sex rag dog. I don't judge how
anyone chooses to test their boundaries, and either sh do
not bankers, not oil men, not land developers, and not
the women who want to be more than secretaries or

(10:56):
perfume pedalist at Bullocks. Whatever goes on in that little
play ground that's not being done to me or by
me is none of my business. Is your business? If
it's not their choice. Don't be so naive. Any woman
entering this house did so to either further their career
or to maintain it. I've seen thousands come and go
over the years, and the only thing that hasn't changed

(11:18):
is their desperation. And so what if a few of
them happen to get a little roughed up? Huh? I
consider that extra curriculum, wouldn't you? It's what they're paid
for now. I saw the operating table, I saw the
drugs and the machines, the play, none of which was
meant for you to see. That's why it's in my
home and not in the papers. Get away from me?
Does he you have over you? Huh? Why are you

(11:40):
pring to let go of me? Forcing? Alibi is holding you? Mirror?
How could you him get away with that? How many
more girls? Too? It? Ten? How many? How many innocent
women have been killed right under your bedroom window? You
couldn't laugh? Give you one reason not to put pull

(12:00):
it between your eyes? Sad La Harrison isn't a killer.
Adla Harrison barely has the stomach to do what I
pay him to do. He's not a killer anymore than
you're a detective. You allowed there instructions how to hog
tie captives a g string tie, and they're not captives.
How many times do I have to yell their participating
what the hell is with the looney been restraints on

(12:22):
the bed? But well, why why the restraints? The restraints
are a completely separate manner, and even more than I
expect you to understand what the actors dry out in
that room. They need somewhere to dry out discreetly, and
it's in there. Adler tends to their symptoms and make
sure they don't die in the process, because I don't
need dead actors. It's not good for business. Some have

(12:45):
become violent on occasion. The restraints protect Adler. He saves lives,
he doesn't take them. Well, you've got an explanation for everything,
don't you. It's not my problem if you find the
month satisfactory. What it is your problem? The shakes, don't
explain the stirrups and the boyd my god, you're insufferable.
Adler is the studios goddamn insurance policy. Insurance policy. You

(13:07):
don't have a clue about how any of this works
because it's not your world. You break into my home,
making damn fool assumptions and creating this fantastical storyline to
justify your existence. Crawled back under your rocket festival word
insurance policy. Pretty people like three things attention, more attention,

(13:27):
and having sex fast and loose and often too often
the hill. Does it have to do with anything birth control?
Mr Briggs? It has to do with the issue of
birth control. It's in all of their contracts. No kids.
Adler disposes of unwanted pregnancies when necessary. Now does that

(13:51):
explanation satisfy you? Is it why Adler was in Phoenix?
I don't follow when Marline was found. Adler said he
was in Phoenix for an actor who fell off of
his horse, Minervaus Strickland pregnant by said horse riding actor.
We have an arrangement with North Mountain Hospital. Adler was there.
I told you he's not your killer. So all these

(14:12):
tubes and needles and drugs that that that, that's all
required for a voluntary procedure. Pental barbiton, suckle, barbatas on
milltown and thorazine dem all method. Don't perka, Dan, take
your goddamn pick. I like to be kept very comfortable.
There's too much blood. I've got the wasting disease, kidney failure,

(14:35):
a whole bunch of other ship. I can't even pronounce
that I don't care to learn how to. But I
survived the Depression prohibition, I survived Westerns and aqua musicals.
I'll survive television, and I'll survive this. That doesn't explain
the amount of board. Yes, that fucking well does. There's
no way they're bumping an old bastard like me up

(14:57):
the transplant ladder three to four days a week. I
sit in that freezing cold self for seven to eight
hours at a time while those machines, those abominations of
natural science, they clean my blood, filter out all the
fun I have a mass throughout my lifetime, and then
pump it back in spick and span. I don't believe.
I don't fucking care what you believe at this point,

(15:18):
and I don't think Adler would appreciate your skepticism. He
went through a lot of trouble to make it feel
like a legitimate facility back there and not something illegal
abortion clinic. Where did he get them? Adler's mash unit
used the larger one when they were in Korea. He
had it brought here by his army buddies. Wasn't cheap.
It still doesn't explain when there was so much blood

(15:40):
I bled more than a fair amount. Adler has to
cut into me every damn time. My veins are so
damaged from all those punctures. It takes time to stop
the bleeding. I don't heal so well anymore. Now you
see that's a lot of bandages. Wouldn't you say? I
also piss myself from time to time. Please stop, I'm

(16:06):
calling the police, Call the police. In all of this
this makes the headline. No, none of this makes headlines.
It never makes the headlines. Don't you get that game
will if it's being recorded? Do you set a big
don't set something but seats of it. It's my blood,

(16:28):
God damn it, there are complications with the machine. I
don't even know if the goddamn thing works anymore. Bad
luck got that that made evil looking nineteen forties standing
thing at nine. It leaks, It leaks my blood all
over the floor. It was my blood, clearly enough blood

(16:51):
to be misconstrued by a dim wit as a crime scene.
You're smoking gun is nothing more than hemo dialysis, a
little bit of sado masochism. Mr Briggs, Congratulations, stalemate. You're
now guilty of breaking and entering and attempted murder, and

(17:11):
I can't use it against you. A lot of good
that does me. Where did your plan the recording device?
Where is it in the couch? Oh? All of a sudden,
you've got nothing to say. Why he's suddenly been struck dumb?

(17:32):
No more fight left than you? When was this picture taken?
When was his picture taken last two year's eve? How
do you know him? I've known Samuel Tuch for years,

(17:53):
crowd favorite, all those women in a cluster around him
every party, oh, hoping to sit for him to be
his next masterpiece. Frankly, I think he was bored by
all of it. Damn shame too, all those women. He
could have rivaled Gable for notches on his bed post.

(18:16):
But I suppose just because you've been raised by tramps
doesn't mean you have any interest in them. That little
devian had probably spent more time in that damn pool
house than I had. Well, what where where they? Having?
In your need? I need to go here. If Samuel

(18:40):
Tencher is a regular at Leonard Shaw's parties, then that
might place him there the night that Marlene was murdered.
For all we know, he may have even known her.
But why not mention that from the start? Maybe the
omission was an oversight. MM. Hello, this is Samuel, Mr

(19:03):
tench Attack brace good afternoon, Mr Bricks. So nice to
hear from you news I hope. Well, I think I'm
just about done. Mr Touch, That's wonderful to hear so
so so was there anything conclusive? Why don't I stop
by tomorrow show you everything I've got? Perfection? I hope

(19:26):
there will be plenty of tea. You jest, but of
course there will be, of course until then, until then.
