Speaker 2 (02:05):
I thank your pardon?
Speaker 4 (02:06):
You pinched me?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yeah, well I had to make sure I wasn't dreaming.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
But you're supposed to pinch yourself if you think you're dreaming.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I know, but this way was more fun. Also, I
never heard a corpse say ouch before. Therefore you're not dead.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
I already knew that I didn't.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Now that that's settled, I think perhaps we ought to
go visit visit who your corpse?
Speaker 6 (02:41):
Taxi? Taxi?
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Hey a night rain?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Upright? Never mind, Louis, mister Temple. Had I have normal
was you, I wouldn't have bothered with the whims. Had
I known it was you, I just wouldn't have bothered. However, friends,
thank you.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Louis should perhaps be explained. He's a cab driver. I
try to avoid. I rarely succeed, which proves to me
that my life isn't all.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
That it should be. Keep it clean? And where at
this hour of the night are you going the rest?
Will chapel? Get another cab? Louie?
Speaker 7 (03:17):
Okay, okay, some sport takes the girl to see a
funeral follow in the.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Middle of the night. I'm ready taking her home. She
lives in a funeral pollo. She's dead in a funeral parlor.
Speaker 8 (03:29):
Who's dead?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Mis plague an me? Excuse me, but Louis.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I don't take your hand on will I already did so,
she said out personally.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
I would to like to find out for myself, but
if you say so, I do.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I'll take your word for it. Only how are you gonna.
Speaker 7 (03:46):
Explain to the funeral follow how riding around in cabs?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Would you? Simple?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I am apparently the kind of a man a girl
wouldn't mind being seen dead with.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
The rest while chapel at your service. Uh, Louis, I know.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Wait, but I'm telling you one thing, considering the type
of company you're keeping, I ain't waiting until nobody plays
no hot links on a trumpet.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I don't think you'll have to come along, Francis.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
I've been trying to pretend to myself that it's awesome
kind of a joke, but that funeral parlor looks too real.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
We'll find out soon enough.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
One nice thing about funeral pilors, they're always open.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
That you call nice.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
You have a point there. Listen to that doorbell chopin
at least?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Oh, I beg your pardon, I said, oh, oh, come in.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
This is an.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Hour that comes to all, except in states that don't
have daylight saving, I, sir, was referring to your bereavement.
Speaker 9 (05:12):
Whom are you mourning?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
We would like to look at Francis Blake. The hour
is late, but grief knows no clock.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Good heavens an apocram.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Who we try, sir? If you'll follow me, thank you. Ah,
here we are, and there.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
She is beautiful, isn't she?
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Erry Simon?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
She does look like me a little bit, but hardly
enough to explain. How did she get here? Miss blakeman?
The police brought her? Oh, I see who identified her?
Speaker 9 (05:52):
That was hardly necessary. Her coat over there in the corner.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Wait a minute, Francis, what about her coat?
Speaker 10 (05:59):
It had her name on the lake. Now I shall withdraw.
You will want to be alone with your grief.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
All right, But make a sound withdrawing, please, so we'll
know you're withdrawn.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Really, sir, it's no use jesting.
Speaker 9 (06:12):
The dead never laugh.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Well he's withdrawn, Simon.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
That's my coat, It is mine, Simon.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
But look, yes, two holes in the front of it.
Bullet holes, bullet holes. The girl here, whoever.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
She is, was murdered. Come on, we better get out,
all right.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
But I'm taking my coat. I don't think it's mine,
not hers.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
It belongs to me, even though she was murdered in it, Simon,
what was that girl doing with Mike.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Wearing it when she was shot? Presumed blame? There's another question,
perhaps a more important one. Why was she shot in
the first place?
Speaker 4 (07:05):
I suppose she had enemies?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Have you again? Yeah, we're back again, Francis. Thank you,
little lady lost the place?
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Francis, where do you live the Thornton town, Louis, Simon?
Back there? Why did you ask if I had any enemies?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
The coat's a distinctive one.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
It's a very colorful play.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yes, the girl back at the funeral parlor was murdered
while wearing it. The question comes to was her wearing
the coat when she was killed merely a coincidence or
was she killed because her murderer thought she was You.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Here?
Speaker 7 (07:58):
You are, Louis, and I don't wait on the kind
of you're shitting up with a dead friend.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Good night, Louis, good night, good night folks.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Oh Simon, it's so good to be back. Calm my
apartments down the corridor, Simon, I feel terrible.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
You needn't.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
But what you said in the cab.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
She was wearing my coat, a very distinctive one, and
then she was shocked to death.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
That girl is dead because of me.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Oh, we don't really know that.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
It must be so somebody thought she was me and
killed him.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
That's possible.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Then that means that somebody wants to kill me.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Is this your door?
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Oh? Yes, of course.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
It's also possible that someone didn't like the coat. And hey,
did you leave your lights on when you left? No,
there's a light in the room ahead.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Well, that's the living room used.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
To hear in the hall. I'll go ahead and see
who it is.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
But I just want to make sure they're neutral on
the subject of plaid coats or you.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Hello, hello, ah, how she was beautiful? Your wife?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
What?
Speaker 11 (09:18):
Your wife?
Speaker 4 (09:19):
It's her picture on the desk there.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
No, does seem to be a picture of Francis and
your name. She is my name, Simon.
Speaker 12 (09:28):
It is a name that fills herself with the soul.
Speaker 13 (09:31):
No.
Speaker 12 (09:32):
No, I knew that tonight, of all nights, you would
be lonely. Believe me, I am here or your wife.
She must have been a wonderful woman. Your life with
her was the magnificent symphony.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
No chamber music would probably be more accurate.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
And now that she is the last gone, I am.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Here without even a pause for station at occasion, look
who are you?
Speaker 4 (10:03):
I am, Olga, Simon. I want who is she?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Alga? Who is she? Francis? And now that you two
have met, waiting.
Speaker 11 (10:12):
A moment, huh aha, I look on the picture. I'll
look on the flash, the flash of which I might adding,
your wife is perhaps carrying a little too much here
and there, especially there.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Now just a minnysn't point, Alga, bad man is?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
But I am seeing your wife. She is not dead.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
She isn't that is, Francis, isn't. If you like, you
could try pinching her.
Speaker 11 (10:37):
I never pinch except boys, Simon, you are disappointing me.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Goodbye.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Well that was quite a performance personally.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I didn't care for her cadenza.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Oh I don't know. It was a nice cadenza, and
the two D was definitely really that is, Francis. The
whole thing was camouflaged for what Take a look at
the room the room.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Oh, yes, it looks as if a junior hurricane had
visited it.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
You mean somebody of Alga searched the room.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Uh huh, this one, and yeah, the bedroom as well.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
But Simon, what was she looking for?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Whatever it was, she didn't find it. Our entrance stopped
her search.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Well, i'd better start straightening things.
Speaker 12 (11:22):
Up a bit.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Good idea, I'll help you.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Well. Shouldn't you be going home?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Oh? I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
You may get some more visitors later on, and rougher
ones than Alga.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Why maybe they'll tell us if we ask them prettily.
In the meanwhile, Yes, Simon, we.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Can practice the overture that that symphony Alga mentioned.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Simon. Yes, it's getting awfully late.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yes, I know.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
We really can't sit up all night for someone to come.
We don't even know for sure that someone will.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I'll go got into this apartment, and someone else did
before her.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Someone else.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Of course, your coat was stolen, wasn't it.
Speaker 13 (12:10):
Well, I suppose, but not from the apartment side. Not
from where was it stolen from?
Speaker 4 (12:16):
I can't be sure, of course, But I gave that
coat to the cleaning shop down the block about a week.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Ago cleaning shop. What's the name of it?
Speaker 4 (12:23):
The car to cleaners? Why?
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Because evidently it started out from there to wind up
on a murdered girl's body.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Therefore, come on, we're gonna.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yes, believe it or not, I'm taking you to the cleaners.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
What, oh, Louie, I thought I told you not to wait.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
This is a free country.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Yes, a parking limit in this crape maybe no, But
I waited. But we're only going down the block a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
You can't afford a quarter. I like to walk. What
do you get from walking? Exercise? Huh?
Speaker 7 (13:07):
And from exercise an enlarged hat, from an enlarged heart?
Speaker 9 (13:10):
You know how many people each year dropped it?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Add them up? We're walking. Come on, Francis.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Simon, you're worried moderately about all those people with enlarged hearts.
And this is the place. Yes, yes, front doors, shepherd,
there's a light inside. Let's try.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
It's locked.
Speaker 13 (13:32):
However, I think someone's coming recognizing him, Yes, yes, that's.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Mister Max and the manager.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
What do you want? Do you mind if we come in?
Speaker 7 (13:44):
Look it may have escaped your attention, but it happens
to be after two o'clock in the morning. Why do
you want to come into the rain. It's not raining,
but suppose it starts.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I happened to be a very tired ma'am. You should
go home early.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I shouldn't be bothered by drunks. I'm not drunk. We've
stopped by from miss Lake's coat.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
The plaid.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
As I may have mentioned before, we are not open
for business.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
And then what are you doing here?
Speaker 7 (14:07):
I am crazy about carbon tech mcloride fumes.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I'd still like the coat.
Speaker 7 (14:12):
Oh, then please do stop buy in the morning?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Simon, why did you I wanted to find out if
the cleaning store knew the plaid coat was gone.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
But we didn't find out, did we.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
No.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Nevertheless, we've worried mister Maxon. Thank Heaven. Louise Handy, Hey,
Louis Louie, you give up?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Uh into the cabs right?
Speaker 8 (14:40):
Well?
Speaker 7 (14:41):
Name your destination, mister templar A very long trip.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah, drive to the back of the cleaning store. You'll
probably have to go around the block. That alley must
lead there.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Okay, but Simon, why are we going to the back
of the store Because we're going in?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
No, because I suspect mister Maxon is gone, going out.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
All this year is maybe none of my business. It
isn't oh you know, remark like that could easy hide
a fella's feeling. I'm sorry, No, it didn't hit mine.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I'm sorry still, but you're not spending this PM in
the way a PM should be spent, nonsense.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
So far, it's all been good cleaning fun, That's what
I mean, Simon.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Mister Maxon hasn't come out of the store yet.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
No, he may be coy.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
However, why should he have anything to do with anything
He shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
But it's very possible that Simon.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Yeah, yeah, mister Maxon is shutting up shop, coming down
the back alley, which confirms something or else.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
You mean, if he weren't hiding something, he wouldn't use
the back way.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Perhaps we're far enough away from the alley for him
not to notice, like he's turning the corner.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Louis, I am alert, not for nothing.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
Was I a boy scout, although actually when I was
a scout, fall was a certain girl scout.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Hold it a minute. He's getting into that he's a villain.
That's a conftible.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
Everybody knows only villains right around in convitibles.

Stones.
Speaker 3 (17:36):

various kinds.

You've got Friencis Blake. They haven't you to your phone call.
You must have listen.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
If you don't hurt her in any way, I'll get
you the stones you're looking for.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
She doesn't know where they are.
Speaker 8 (22:09):
Matter fact, where are the stones the Carter cleaner shop? Look,
don't have me that we already been through the joints.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
You didn't know where to look? That could be a deal.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
Okay, but your girlfriend will be under a gun all
the time. First funny move and she gets no funny moves.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Okay, Jake, we're going visiting.
Speaker 8 (22:33):
Maybe we'll trade in a bay for the stones if
the stones are handed over.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
If they ain't, we'll just trade her in. Good morning,
And oh you were here last night. That's right, mister Maxon.
I was looking for a plaid coat. Plaid. Yes, maybe
(22:57):
it would be here on this rack. Oh, it wouldn't
be there. You'll see. This rack is for dressing and
this is for last night.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Sorry to have upset you, mister Maxon, but company is
coming and I've got to set the table for them.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Joey looks plain. No blue uniforms around park at Jake.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Okay, here we go, baby, I can walk.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah, I know, I know, but I enjoy your company.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Silent.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Hello, Francis you tempa? That's right, stay next to me, sister.
I better just locked the door. We won't be interrupted.
All right.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Where the stones are? They're in the place here they
must be. I don't like the sound of that. It
could be a store. What's that, mister Maxon? He fell
down on while he was pressing some suits or something.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah, get up Mexican.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
Well yeah, oh oh, oh, hello, mister Barker.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Oh rash Oh you don't have to talk that way,
mister Barker. I can't help it.
Speaker 14 (24:12):
If the stones were stolen from me, if the woman
double crossed me, this babe here, yeah, why don't you
work her over, mister Barker and her boyfriend. After all,
they're the ones who killed og, aren't they. It was
a narrow pipe of mine out guy.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I like the kid. I sent her out the job.
She got his business.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
You gotta cut your losses when you have to. I
still want the stones, are.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
You They are here, they have to be and find them.
I've looked, but they're hidden cleverly.
Speaker 8 (24:36):
You sound like a guy up a tree missed in
In just a couple of seconds, I'm gonna cut that
tree down.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Tree you warm in a tree. Suppose you wanted to
hide a tree so you couldn't find it, where would
you hide it. I ain't interested in hiding trees.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
You'd hide it in the forest, of course.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Therefore, going through the place I noticed Francis go through
that dress rack. Find a dress, any dress that doesn't
seem to belong well, I I.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Don't get it, Bosh, who wants to hide a tree?
A jack? They just said something.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
I'm not sure what you mean, but this shop is
in a pretty expensive neighborhood. All the dresses here are
very good ones, except this one. It's quite cheap, covered
with cheap rhinestone.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Let me have it. Yes, of course it doesn't belong here.
Why is it here? Because it's a forest? Looks like
a rag to me, not like a forest.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
I suppose you take another look at some of the
rhinestones on let me have it. Hey, most of the
things going on that dress aren't cheap rhinestones, but among.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Them are the genuine stones, the ones we've been looking for. Well,
nice work, Max, I didn't know anything about it. Somebody
else must have done the frame here. No, no kids,
put a minute, bucker, Wait wait, oh, what I'm gonna
tell you something? Max?
Speaker 8 (25:52):
Nobot you sure Toning never did like a double cross?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Hey, ways on, it occurred to me you mightn't like
witness des.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I Francis came behind me, touching the seas build up
quite a lot of seams.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I kicked the outlet pipe off and it banged you.
But it's tramp bark her. Lets you want to get
my boy?
Speaker 3 (26:20):
You're leaving her? Oh thank god, yes, Francis, but not
for long.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
The police won't have much trouble picking them up.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
With them all forgive me, but I can't resist it
with them all steamed.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Up, Simon, I'm terribly grateful, but I can't resist Francis
asking you what it was all about?
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Oh, an intellectual when he's Fancis. Maxon and Baker were
partners in the jewelry business illegitimate.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
They worked out a nice idea. They'd used very distinctive
clothes left.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
With the cleaning shop as disguises for themselves and their confederates.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Oh and disguises which couldn't be traced because they'd lead
back only to perfectly innocent people who had albis and
everything right.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
And the last job they did involved a girl who
wore your plaid coat while stealing the jewels. Maxon, however,
decided he wanted all the jewels for himself, so he
killed the girl and hid the stones. And he had
to kill Alga because she suspected something wrong came to
this apartment because that's where the plaid coat came from.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Well, but how did you know that Maxon.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Had killed her back in the shop. He said, Alga
had been killed in this apartment. How did he know that?
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Because he'd killed her? Oh, Simon, What would I have
done without you?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
The question is what are you going to do with me?

Hello, Hello, are you Simon templar.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
We'll come in and we'll compare social security cards.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (01:16):
I thought you were in Schenectady, never heard of the
blaze sitting up with the sick as she recovered suddenly, Simon,
I need help, desperately.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Why because I'm dead?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
You're why dead? Oh? Well, of course some of my
best friends, Simon.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
My name is Francis Blake.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Here read this gree That little item down in the
corner under obituaries.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Obituaries says here that the body of Francis Blake is
at the rest will Chapel BURI ill at noon tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
You see the newspapers say that I'm dead.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Yeah, but I don't know whether to believe them or
not you are Francis Blair.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Of course I am come here a moment, right, thank you?
Speaker 4 (02:02):
No, Simon, what are you though?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I thank your pardon?
Speaker 4 (02:06):
You pinched me?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yeah, well I had to make sure I wasn't dreaming.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
But you're supposed to pinch yourself if you think you're dreaming.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I know, but this way was more fun. Also, I
never heard a corpse say ouch before. Therefore you're not dead.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
I already knew that I didn't.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Now that that's settled, I think perhaps we ought to
go visit visit who your corpse?
Speaker 6 (02:41):
Taxi? Taxi?
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Hey a night rain?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Upright? Never mind, Louis, mister Temple. Had I have normal
was you, I wouldn't have bothered with the whims. Had
I known it was you, I just wouldn't have bothered. However, friends,
thank you.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Louis should perhaps be explained. He's a cab driver. I
try to avoid. I rarely succeed, which proves to me
that my life isn't all.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
That it should be. Keep it clean? And where at
this hour of the night are you going the rest?
Will chapel? Get another cab? Louie?
Speaker 7 (03:17):
Okay, okay, some sport takes the girl to see a
funeral follow in the.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Middle of the night. I'm ready taking her home. She
lives in a funeral pollo. She's dead in a funeral parlor.
Speaker 8 (03:29):
Who's dead?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Mis plague an me? Excuse me, but Louis.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I don't take your hand on will I already did so,
she said out personally.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
I would to like to find out for myself, but
if you say so, I do.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
I'll take your word for it. Only how are you gonna.
Speaker 7 (03:46):
Explain to the funeral follow how riding around in cabs?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Would you? Simple?
Speaker 3 (03:50):
I am apparently the kind of a man a girl
wouldn't mind being seen dead with.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
The rest while chapel at your service. Uh, Louis, I know.
Speaker 7 (04:16):
Wait, but I'm telling you one thing, considering the type
of company you're keeping, I ain't waiting until nobody plays
no hot links on a trumpet.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I don't think you'll have to come along, Francis.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
I've been trying to pretend to myself that it's awesome
kind of a joke, but that funeral parlor looks too real.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
We'll find out soon enough.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
One nice thing about funeral pilors, they're always open.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
That you call nice.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
You have a point there. Listen to that doorbell chopin
at least?
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Oh, I beg your pardon, I said, oh, oh, come in.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
This is an.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Hour that comes to all, except in states that don't
have daylight saving, I, sir, was referring to your bereavement.
Speaker 9 (05:12):
Whom are you mourning?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
We would like to look at Francis Blake. The hour
is late, but grief knows no clock.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Good heavens an apocram.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Who we try, sir? If you'll follow me, thank you. Ah,
here we are, and there.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
She is beautiful, isn't she?
Speaker 4 (05:38):
Erry Simon?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
She does look like me a little bit, but hardly
enough to explain. How did she get here? Miss blakeman?
The police brought her? Oh, I see who identified her?
Speaker 9 (05:52):
That was hardly necessary. Her coat over there in the corner.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Wait a minute, Francis, what about her coat?
Speaker 10 (05:59):
It had her name on the lake. Now I shall withdraw.
You will want to be alone with your grief.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
All right, But make a sound withdrawing, please, so we'll
know you're withdrawn.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Really, sir, it's no use jesting.
Speaker 9 (06:12):
The dead never laugh.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Well he's withdrawn, Simon.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
That's my coat, It is mine, Simon.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
But look, yes, two holes in the front of it.
Bullet holes, bullet holes. The girl here, whoever.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
She is, was murdered. Come on, we better get out,
all right.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
But I'm taking my coat. I don't think it's mine,
not hers.
Speaker 5 (06:37):
It belongs to me, even though she was murdered in it, Simon,
what was that girl doing with Mike.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Wearing it when she was shot? Presumed blame? There's another question,
perhaps a more important one. Why was she shot in
the first place?
Speaker 4 (07:05):
I suppose she had enemies?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Have you again? Yeah, we're back again, Francis. Thank you,
little lady lost the place?
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Francis, where do you live the Thornton town, Louis, Simon?
Back there? Why did you ask if I had any enemies?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
The coat's a distinctive one.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
It's a very colorful play.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
Yes, the girl back at the funeral parlor was murdered
while wearing it. The question comes to was her wearing
the coat when she was killed merely a coincidence or
was she killed because her murderer thought she was You.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Here?
Speaker 7 (07:58):
You are, Louis, and I don't wait on the kind
of you're shitting up with a dead friend.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Good night, Louis, good night, good night folks.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Oh Simon, it's so good to be back. Calm my
apartments down the corridor, Simon, I feel terrible.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
You needn't.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
But what you said in the cab.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
She was wearing my coat, a very distinctive one, and
then she was shocked to death.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
That girl is dead because of me.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Oh, we don't really know that.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
It must be so somebody thought she was me and
killed him.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
That's possible.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Then that means that somebody wants to kill me.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Is this your door?
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Oh? Yes, of course.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
It's also possible that someone didn't like the coat. And hey,
did you leave your lights on when you left? No,
there's a light in the room ahead.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Well, that's the living room used.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
To hear in the hall. I'll go ahead and see
who it is.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
But I just want to make sure they're neutral on
the subject of plaid coats or you.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Hello, hello, ah, how she was beautiful? Your wife?
Speaker 2 (09:17):
What?
Speaker 11 (09:18):
Your wife?
Speaker 4 (09:19):
It's her picture on the desk there.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
No, does seem to be a picture of Francis and
your name. She is my name, Simon.
Speaker 12 (09:28):
It is a name that fills herself with the soul.
Speaker 13 (09:31):
No.
Speaker 12 (09:32):
No, I knew that tonight, of all nights, you would
be lonely. Believe me, I am here or your wife.
She must have been a wonderful woman. Your life with
her was the magnificent symphony.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
No chamber music would probably be more accurate.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
And now that she is the last gone, I am.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Here without even a pause for station at occasion, look
who are you?
Speaker 4 (10:03):
I am, Olga, Simon. I want who is she?
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Alga? Who is she? Francis? And now that you two
have met, waiting.
Speaker 11 (10:12):
A moment, huh aha, I look on the picture. I'll
look on the flash, the flash of which I might adding,
your wife is perhaps carrying a little too much here
and there, especially there.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Now just a minnysn't point, Alga, bad man is?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
But I am seeing your wife. She is not dead.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
She isn't that is, Francis, isn't. If you like, you
could try pinching her.
Speaker 11 (10:37):
I never pinch except boys, Simon, you are disappointing me.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Goodbye.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Well that was quite a performance personally.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
I didn't care for her cadenza.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Oh I don't know. It was a nice cadenza, and
the two D was definitely really that is, Francis. The
whole thing was camouflaged for what Take a look at
the room the room.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Oh, yes, it looks as if a junior hurricane had
visited it.
Speaker 4 (11:04):
You mean somebody of Alga searched the room.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Uh huh, this one, and yeah, the bedroom as well.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
But Simon, what was she looking for?
Speaker 2 (11:15):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Whatever it was, she didn't find it. Our entrance stopped
her search.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
Well, i'd better start straightening things.
Speaker 12 (11:22):
Up a bit.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Good idea, I'll help you.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Well. Shouldn't you be going home?
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Oh? I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
You may get some more visitors later on, and rougher
ones than Alga.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Why maybe they'll tell us if we ask them prettily.
In the meanwhile, Yes, Simon, we.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
Can practice the overture that that symphony Alga mentioned.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Simon. Yes, it's getting awfully late.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yes, I know.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
We really can't sit up all night for someone to come.
We don't even know for sure that someone will.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I'll go got into this apartment, and someone else did
before her.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Someone else.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Of course, your coat was stolen, wasn't it.
Speaker 13 (12:10):
Well, I suppose, but not from the apartment side. Not
from where was it stolen from?
Speaker 4 (12:16):
I can't be sure, of course, But I gave that
coat to the cleaning shop down the block about a week.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Ago cleaning shop. What's the name of it?
Speaker 4 (12:23):
The car to cleaners? Why?
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Because evidently it started out from there to wind up
on a murdered girl's body.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Therefore, come on, we're gonna.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
Yes, believe it or not, I'm taking you to the cleaners.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
What, oh, Louie, I thought I told you not to wait.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
This is a free country.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Yes, a parking limit in this crape maybe no, But
I waited. But we're only going down the block a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
You can't afford a quarter. I like to walk. What
do you get from walking? Exercise? Huh?
Speaker 7 (13:07):
And from exercise an enlarged hat, from an enlarged heart?
Speaker 9 (13:10):
You know how many people each year dropped it?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Add them up? We're walking. Come on, Francis.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Simon, you're worried moderately about all those people with enlarged hearts.
And this is the place. Yes, yes, front doors, shepherd,
there's a light inside. Let's try.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
It's locked.
Speaker 13 (13:32):
However, I think someone's coming recognizing him, Yes, yes, that's.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Mister Max and the manager.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
What do you want? Do you mind if we come in?
Speaker 7 (13:44):
Look it may have escaped your attention, but it happens
to be after two o'clock in the morning. Why do
you want to come into the rain. It's not raining,
but suppose it starts.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I happened to be a very tired ma'am. You should
go home early.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I shouldn't be bothered by drunks. I'm not drunk. We've
stopped by from miss Lake's coat.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
The plaid.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
As I may have mentioned before, we are not open
for business.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
And then what are you doing here?
Speaker 7 (14:07):
I am crazy about carbon tech mcloride fumes.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I'd still like the coat.
Speaker 7 (14:12):
Oh, then please do stop buy in the morning?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Simon, why did you I wanted to find out if
the cleaning store knew the plaid coat was gone.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
But we didn't find out, did we.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
No.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Nevertheless, we've worried mister Maxon. Thank Heaven. Louise Handy, Hey,
Louis Louie, you give up?
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Uh into the cabs right?
Speaker 8 (14:40):
Well?
Speaker 7 (14:41):
Name your destination, mister templar A very long trip.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah, drive to the back of the cleaning store. You'll
probably have to go around the block. That alley must
lead there.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Okay, but Simon, why are we going to the back
of the store Because we're going in?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
No, because I suspect mister Maxon is gone, going out.
Speaker 7 (15:11):
All this year is maybe none of my business. It
isn't oh you know, remark like that could easy hide
a fella's feeling. I'm sorry, No, it didn't hit mine.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I'm sorry still, but you're not spending this PM in
the way a PM should be spent, nonsense.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
So far, it's all been good cleaning fun, That's what
I mean, Simon.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Mister Maxon hasn't come out of the store yet.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
No, he may be coy.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
However, why should he have anything to do with anything
He shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
But it's very possible that Simon.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Yeah, yeah, mister Maxon is shutting up shop, coming down
the back alley, which confirms something or else.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
You mean, if he weren't hiding something, he wouldn't use
the back way.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Perhaps we're far enough away from the alley for him
not to notice, like he's turning the corner.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
Louis, I am alert, not for nothing.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
Was I a boy scout, although actually when I was
a scout, fall was a certain girl scout.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Hold it a minute. He's getting into that he's a villain.
That's a conftible.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
Everybody knows only villains right around in convitibles.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
He started Louis there we go. Look Maxim stopping? Yeah,
(16:29):
I better stop right.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Here, Ah Simon, he's going into that nightclub.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Interesting place for a store manager to finish his evening's work.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Let's go, Francis. Leave me know how the floor show is.
I'll be sure to Barker's box.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
I've heard of the club.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Yeah, and I've heard of Barker. Nothing complimentary? Are there? Well?
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Here it is and in we go, dark, crowded and
needs ventilation. The floor show emphasis on show. Yeah, kducking
out a door near the piano. Let's follow any shifty footsteps.
I hope nobody notices what's going on or rather coming off.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Oh it's so dark in this hole.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah, I can't hear what it is. Wait a minute,
bark I'll get me. Wait long enough. Wear a stone.
I told you the girl, just what you told me.
Don't give me the stones. And I suppose you tell
me where the stones are. I don't know where they are.
Speaker 9 (17:35):
Stones.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
Yeah, Barker's got quite a reputation as a crook of
various kinds.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Stones are jewelry and unquestionably stolen jewelry.
Speaker 10 (17:42):
I having fun fellas well. I hope I didn't frighten you,
lady coming up behind you?
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Still know these people like this? That's her asthma.
Speaker 9 (17:51):

Speaker 4 (17:54):
How cute could I see it?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
And I've got a fill gratifying.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
Him and he fell down.
Speaker 2 (18:04):

Speaker 3 (18:28):
No, not yet I'm going in with you. No for safety?

the room.

just dead. I had better phone the police.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Wait, Simon, you know this thing started with Francis Blake
being dead.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
But it wasn't Francis Blake. It was another shit and
then someone else got killed.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
Olga.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Still not Francis Blake.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
But Simon, the next time, do you do you think

Speaker 3 (22:04):
If you don't hurt her in any way, I'll get
you the stones you're looking for.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
She doesn't know where they are.
Speaker 8 (22:09):
Matter fact, where are the stones the Carter cleaner shop? Look,
don't have me that we already been through the joints.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
You didn't know where to look? That could be a deal.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
Okay, but your girlfriend will be under a gun all
the time. First funny move and she gets no funny moves.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Okay, Jake, we're going visiting.
Speaker 8 (22:33):
Maybe we'll trade in a bay for the stones if
the stones are handed over.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
If they ain't, we'll just trade her in. Good morning,
And oh you were here last night. That's right, mister Maxon.
I was looking for a plaid coat. Plaid. Yes, maybe
(22:57):
it would be here on this rack. Oh, it wouldn't
be there. You'll see. This rack is for dressing and
this is for last night.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
Sorry to have upset you, mister Maxon, but company is
coming and I've got to set the table for them.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Joey looks plain. No blue uniforms around park at Jake.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Okay, here we go, baby, I can walk.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah, I know, I know, but I enjoy your company.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Silent.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Hello, Francis you tempa? That's right, stay next to me, sister.
I better just locked the door. We won't be interrupted.
All right.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Where the stones are? They're in the place here they
must be. I don't like the sound of that. It
could be a store. What's that, mister Maxon? He fell
down on while he was pressing some suits or something.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah, get up Mexican.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
Well yeah, oh oh, oh, hello, mister Barker.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Oh rash Oh you don't have to talk that way,
mister Barker. I can't help it.
Speaker 14 (24:12):
If the stones were stolen from me, if the woman
double crossed me, this babe here, yeah, why don't you
work her over, mister Barker and her boyfriend. After all,
they're the ones who killed og, aren't they. It was
a narrow pipe of mine out guy.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I like the kid. I sent her out the job.
She got his business.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
You gotta cut your losses when you have to. I
still want the stones, are.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
You They are here, they have to be and find them.
I've looked, but they're hidden cleverly.
Speaker 8 (24:36):
You sound like a guy up a tree missed in
In just a couple of seconds, I'm gonna cut that
tree down.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Tree you warm in a tree. Suppose you wanted to
hide a tree so you couldn't find it, where would
you hide it. I ain't interested in hiding trees.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
You'd hide it in the forest, of course.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Therefore, going through the place I noticed Francis go through
that dress rack. Find a dress, any dress that doesn't
seem to belong well, I I.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Don't get it, Bosh, who wants to hide a tree?
A jack? They just said something.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
I'm not sure what you mean, but this shop is
in a pretty expensive neighborhood. All the dresses here are
very good ones, except this one. It's quite cheap, covered
with cheap rhinestone.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Let me have it. Yes, of course it doesn't belong here.
Why is it here? Because it's a forest? Looks like
a rag to me, not like a forest.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
I suppose you take another look at some of the
rhinestones on let me have it. Hey, most of the
things going on that dress aren't cheap rhinestones, but among.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
Them are the genuine stones, the ones we've been looking for. Well,
nice work, Max, I didn't know anything about it. Somebody
else must have done the frame here. No, no kids,
put a minute, bucker, Wait wait, oh, what I'm gonna
tell you something? Max?
Speaker 8 (25:52):
Nobot you sure Toning never did like a double cross?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Hey, ways on, it occurred to me you mightn't like
witness des.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
I Francis came behind me, touching the seas build up
quite a lot of seams.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
I kicked the outlet pipe off and it banged you.
But it's tramp bark her. Lets you want to get
my boy?
Speaker 3 (26:20):
You're leaving her? Oh thank god, yes, Francis, but not
for long.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
The police won't have much trouble picking them up.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
With them all forgive me, but I can't resist it
with them all steamed.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Up, Simon, I'm terribly grateful, but I can't resist Francis
asking you what it was all about?
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Oh, an intellectual when he's Fancis. Maxon and Baker were
partners in the jewelry business illegitimate.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
They worked out a nice idea. They'd used very distinctive
clothes left.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
With the cleaning shop as disguises for themselves and their confederates.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Oh and disguises which couldn't be traced because they'd lead
back only to perfectly innocent people who had albis and
everything right.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
And the last job they did involved a girl who
wore your plaid coat while stealing the jewels. Maxon, however,
decided he wanted all the jewels for himself, so he
killed the girl and hid the stones. And he had
to kill Alga because she suspected something wrong came to
this apartment because that's where the plaid coat came from.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Well, but how did you know that Maxon.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Had killed her back in the shop. He said, Alga
had been killed in this apartment. How did he know that?
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Because he'd killed her? Oh, Simon, What would I have
done without you?
Speaker 2 (27:55):
The question is what are you going to do with me?
