created in the motion picture The Third Man with Zuper

Speaker 2 (00:55):
That was the shot that killed Harry Lyone. He died
in a steward beneath the as those of you know
who saw the movie is a third Man? Yes, that
was the end of harry line, but it's not the beginning.
Harry Lyin had many lines, and I can recount all
of them.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
How do I knowsten because my name is Harry Lyme me.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I don't approve of gambling, at least not the legitimate kind.
It's not so much the gambling I dislike. It's the
losing I detest across all business and tails a certain
amount of risk. That's why insurance companies grow rich. I
believe in insurance. That's why when I have to gamble, I.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Always like to ensure that I'm on a sure things.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Some people have been rude enough to call this cheating,
that they were prejudiced by being on the losing side.
At that time in Mexico City, when I brought off
what I like to call my Mexican hat trick.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
And now Orson wells as Harry Lyon, the third man
in Mexican hat trick.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
There is no human affliction worse than poverty. In Mexico City,
I realized again that it's more pain.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
For when the disease occurs in the midst of plenty.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Somehow there had always been enough to buy.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
A drink for some poor unsuspecting to restera you know
the kind. Too much money in his pocket, too much
trust in his heart for a fellow American, the meal
ticket for Harry Lyme, But now nothing.

Harry Lyme, soldier of many fortunes good.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
And bad, was down to his last borrowed cigarette, sitting
in a crummy dive in a fourth rate district of
the city, checking a mental roster of friends, contacts and
local suckers. Oh diego, just thinking about you, Jega, said
a man. We know, what's your standard rate for six

Speaker 3 (04:10):
The police. Go to it, old man, but the police.
Could you not deliver this?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
No need to the police, Diego. Remember Bolo has interrusted
to you. Be a man, faced the issue straight, not

Just for me, you could remove borow stains more.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Simply, all right, let me see this note. See hm hmmm.

that's mhmm.
Speaker 2 (04:38):

You guys and reorganized. You will take it to the police.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I don't worry about a thing, oh man, I'll take
care of the note. M. When I managed to get
rid of the grateful Diego, I sat down and studied
this little not more carefully seventeen years.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Ago than I would explain.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
In the little Mexican town of Leon, Boulomignoso had killed
a man. This was his confessional, complete account of how
he permitted an innocent man, somebody named Vicente Coelio, to
be accused of this murder. It explained that Bolo had
hidden signed after David's proving Coelio's innocence.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Somewhere in Leon. Just wear in Leon.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
He eggrected to say, at least be interested in this confession,
of course, but then it seemed.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
To me that the Koeio family might have a greater concern.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
So I decided to investigate the financial aspects of a
family interest, Senor, says Senora Coelio.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
See this is my daughter, and I won't cut out.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I'm delighted in Senora, this document concerns your husband.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
He was your husband. Yes, yes, that is dead. And
how long has it been since his death?
Speaker 7 (05:55):
I mean we do not know, not for sertain and
it has been a long time.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yes, you needn't be delicate on my account, Senora. I
know no, Senora, I know that your father was accused
of murdering Ane Leon seventeen years ago.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
He did not be sent he would not hurt, he
was not a criminal.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
The police didn't share that view when he escaped from
prison before his triumph seemed to cinch.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
The case against him. Right, Okay, maybe the authority more
certain of his guilt, but.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
He had to escape, but there was no hope without
the pays. Yes, you think to know so much, mister
l I.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Know what you know, Senorita.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Those papers with the evidence that could have saved your father,
and they were stolen.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
This does not help us. We have searched for seventeen
years for some kind of evidence that.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Would have cleared the name of my husband.
Speaker 7 (06:39):
We have spent thousand corpas or what.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
If you found that evidence now, Senora.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
Oh Portillos, If we only.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Could, Senora seniority to those papers.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
They were affidavits proving absolutely that your husband was nowhere
near the scene of the crime when it occurred.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
They were How do you know this?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I have the word of the man who stole them.
Speaker 7 (06:57):
You have Alicia. Where is his name, mister daid.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
It's too late for that. He's dead dead.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Then it has been for nothing.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Why do you come to us now?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
There's always hope, scenery. I have his confession that he
was the murderer. I can prove your father's innocence.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
You can no you're here. If I knew that, someday
I'm the grass. We must go to the prey.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I'm afraid not the police. You won't go where there's death,
dead confession. I'm afraid it isn't enough. The Afi David scenerytor.
I know where they can be found. That is the
approximate location. After seven exist. With a little searching, I
can produce them.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
Then you must get them for us.

You live so so modestly. See not at all.

descendant of Cortez.

Speaker 5 (09:57):
Just a minute, Generator, I have the car.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
We'll need an interpreter.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Perhaps I've heard it's a lonely town.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Yes, well, I don't just stand that woman going home
and pack.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
No need to signor my luggage is downstairs in the car.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
We got our first glimpse of Leon from a hill
behind the city. Quiet little mountain town, quite incapable of
coping with giddy tourists and expense accounts as.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
We had Leone. I wondered what merder I had to do.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
With a place like this, When not, Harry, you have
taken us directly to the town plaza.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Wouldn't mess only one road into town at a hotel
over there? It is the hotel, and that must be
the town's official greeter.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
After go, after go.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
Gracius, he says he will watch the car.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
All right, one or one hundred and every mentor.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
His mother says, your family is dying of hunger.
Speaker 8 (11:09):
He's something.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Looks like the breeder was just send into retirement.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Bueno years.
Speaker 9 (11:16):
When your welcome to John, you will be happy with
us in this hotel, your wife and your gratis might
have a beautiful room for you.
Speaker 7 (11:27):
Senor will Momento dos Senor Rea.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Senior.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
We founded the officials little hotel manager across the time.
Speaker 9 (11:46):
Lab and many centuries before this, my hotel.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
Was the home of one of the Spanish conkystas.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
There are rooms down there. There is much romance over there.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
Is that we here?
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Brian, Oh the bill.
Speaker 9 (12:04):
This is the famous church bell of Leon Faus. There's
a long and tragic stories in your eta. Every hour
it tolds to remind us of the scene.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Look man some other time.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
If you don't find she's in your pit.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Here you are.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
For you a young lady. How do you say?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
We worsh up first and then start the big search
for the after David.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
Harriet seems so difficult. Who does one begin with?
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Of course, sign Israel, we find the papers. That's cool.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Orson Wells returns in just a moment as the third
man now Orson Welles. As the third man continues with
(13:46):
Mexican hat trick.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Leon was even sleepier than most Mexican towns. Only the
bell disturbed it. After the midday siest, when you're expecting
to come to life, everything just went on sleeping as before.
Good for the nerves, of course, unless you were trying
to wake up a memory seventeen years old. This mass
(14:16):
of some little time of asking if he's you speak English?
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I want some information? Gone to doing b I understood that.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Okay, Now, Harry, another bar, one bar, another, one cafe
after another.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
We made them all. We had cock.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Fried rings, the viehos on the street.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Everyone in every place where there might be a clue.
I need to points in the direction of those affe.
Speaker 7 (14:57):
Davis, did you find anything, Harry, I think to John,
but perhaps we are making a mistake. What about my father?
It would be easier to find someone who remembers him.
We can start some day mentioning.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Your father's name.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Just mentioned it around here, and not only the police
down on us.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
We'll have every cheap confidence man in Mexico on our
hands trying to find out what we want.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
But we have to start somewhere, and we have to
rest somewhere too.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
My feet are killing me.
Speaker 7 (15:23):
Let's go back to the hotel, Harry, it is not
right for me to be.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Come on, come on, there's no time to worry about propriety,
but it is.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
We're both tired, We've got to rest.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
We might as well talk while we're doing it. Go on,
I'll order.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Up a couple of drinks.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Hey, hey, not to cry about.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
I'm sorry, I cannot help you.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Come here. Come on.
Speaker 8 (15:54):
Oh you should not kiss me.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
I'd be pretty silly if I didn't.
Speaker 8 (15:58):
Harry, please, No, had a great care elation. Oh, Hatty,
you know what.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I kind of hope this search of ours isn't too
successful too soon. Things were considerably more bearable during the
next few days, the warm Mexican evenings and Alicia.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
But during the days, long, tedious days.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
We searched and searched and searched, and we found nothing.
After one of our better evenings together, I left Alicia
at the door and headed to my room.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
When I opened the door, there was a surprise waiting
for it.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I had a guest, the weasoned old beggar, who then
the first agree to some our.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Arrival and leone.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
This time, his greeting was a little violent.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Hey, damn, why you're doing so?
Speaker 3 (16:55):
He would die, to kill me, to try to kill me?
Speaker 5 (16:58):
I die?
Speaker 8 (16:58):
What are you doing here?
Speaker 3 (17:00):
What do you want?
Speaker 5 (17:01):
Hanhandle business? Falling off?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Robbing hotel rooms?
Speaker 9 (17:03):
Now?
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Or was he what the police?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Okay, okaya? Tell what's it all about? You're babbling about it?
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Wanted to kill you?
Speaker 9 (17:11):
Bow?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Are you looking for? Boro?
Speaker 5 (17:15):
What he got to do with?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Say?
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Hey, come back here?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Follow sway?
Speaker 3 (17:26):
You the beggar, the free bitten old car watching beggar.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
This was Alicia's father, buried in the dust of police records, rumors,
and memory.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
But after all these years, still.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Alive, and those after Davids proving his innocence of the murder,
maybe twice as valuable to the living as they were
the dead. His family would certainly building to pay much
more for them now, unless, of course, Kaway you found
him first, obviously, that's why he was in leone. I
had to get my hands on those papers before he did,
(17:59):
and before Alisha realized her father was still alive.
Speaker 7 (18:05):
H Harry, I thought we could go.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Harry, it's okay, come in and cross the door. What happened?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I had a argument with destiny, Honey, I won.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
You're cloth they're all torn in your face.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Oh, honey thing I can't wash off with soap and water.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
The old beggar you must have been asked to my money,
tried to kill me when I caught him.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
And oh, Harry, you must be cared.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
No, the other one has got to be careful. Stay
away from him.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Don't tell me what he's up to.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Now and I try to get back at me by
hurting you.
Speaker 7 (18:34):
Then we must go to the police.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
No, no, no, I don't want to talk to the police,
not until we can clear your father, and then handling myself.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
You just stay close to me. I had to find
those blasted papers quickly now.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
But how where us Coleo.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Any closer than than I? How could I keep Alisha
from learning that the.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Family was alive.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Ali's nagging thoughts, the incessant clanging of that church bell
just outside my window. You can well understand my reaction
to the hotel managers.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Typical good morning greeting the years and your I did
not sleep.
Speaker 5 (19:20):

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Of Leon, the great scene of Leon, that must have
been a whopper, the terrible scenes in your on these days.
Seventeen years ago good man was killing Leon. For this
the Lord to remove the music from the pail. And
at wait a minute, perhaps seven years ago, there was.
Speaker 9 (20:02):
Murder in our seat, and the bell miracle, Senor, on

One of the men of Leon was taken by the
police for this murder.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
Then there recur this mirror mirror.

Put this note Bolla's note here. He admits it right here.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
He stole the evidence w cleared your father, He says,
he hid it right here, and lay on.
Speaker 7 (21:16):
Why did he not destroy it immediately?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Nose may be intended to confess sooner or later.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Murders are seldom logical people.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
But look now we learn that just before your father
escaped from the police, the tone of this bell suddenly, mysteriously,
miraculously change from a melodious ring.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
To that clank.

We are out there.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Listen to it, Alicia, listen, what makes a bell sound
like that?
Speaker 9 (21:34):
Hi?

Be careful, Harry, do not hurt yourself, Okay, Harry, I
love you.
Speaker 10 (22:26):
This is for good luck.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
I climbed up hand over hand.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I don't know how far, ten feet maybe fifteen or
twenty wasn't easy.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Then made a horrible racket over me, and the sound drew.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
In waves as I approached it, making me dizzy and dizzy,
and I'm not let go.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
But finally there was no more rope.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
My hand touched the inside of the bell and it.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Stopped ringing the old line.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Confidence was at a cock eyed angle.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
And slipping away fast, and I certainly grabbed the clap
room sounds what I wanted, heavy.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Oil skin wrapper around it, a couple of hundred thousand
paces worth of missing Affi Davids.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
One good tug pulled it away.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
I stuffed at my shirt front.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
Alicia.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
The rope burned chunks of flesh right out of my hands.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
As I slid down below me, I saw another figure
struggling with Alisha, trying to get past her. But two
of them were wrestling on a narrow ledge at the
top of the steps leading the bell tower.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I caught one moonlit glimpse of their faces as I
swung under the ledge. It was the beggar Coweyo, Alicia's father.
Before I could reach him, she.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Got one arm free and hit him.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
As hard as she could. Then she shoved and he
went over Alicia, Alicia to kill me.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
It's all right, it's all right, no good, look, this
is getting up. Yes, after all, my god, what we
came from.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
Harry Lime returns in just a month, and now Harry lyon.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
As far as the authorities were concerned, kawe Yo was
a nameless beggar who had gone and blown his top.
They locked him up, of course.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
But said he'd be released later on.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I was the one person who could identify and the
one person who could return him to his family with.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Who I interfere.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
But the old man figured it out for himself. If
he wanted to remain the unknown beggar.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
For the rest of his days, that was his business.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Probably everybody'd be happier the way things were, particularly Alicia.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
She was all that really worried me.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
I went out into Little.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Prize to think it over.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Day was breaking, the birds who were waking up. A
little canteena was still open. I went in and sat
down at a greasy little table and had myself a
couple of tequilas, and I borrowed a few sheets of
notepaper and wrote this. Ohl sure, my darling, I'm writing
us in a great rush because I want to be
gone from Leon before you're awake. I'm doing it this
(26:19):
way because I'm afraid if I saw you again, I
wouldn't know how to go, and I've got to no
matter what I can't, I mustn't stay on here in
Mexico with you. I hope you'll find somebody you deserve.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
But I doubt it.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Anyway, here's wishing your happiness, idiots. And as for my fee,
you compare it to a man called Diego who called
at your house again, Idios, yours.
Speaker 10 (26:41):
Harry life, its.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Instant in.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
It it it it.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
It it it
Speaker 10 (28:20):
It its
Presenting Orton Wells as the Third Man. The Lives of
Harry Lyon, the fabulous stories of the immortal character originally
created in the motion picture The Third Man with Zuper
music by Anton Karous.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
That was the shot that killed Harry Lyone. He died
in a steward beneath the as those of you know
who saw the movie is a third Man? Yes, that
was the end of harry line, but it's not the beginning.
Harry Lyin had many lines, and I can recount all
of them.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
How do I knowsten because my name is Harry Lyme me.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I don't approve of gambling, at least not the legitimate kind.
It's not so much the gambling I dislike. It's the
losing I detest across all business and tails a certain
amount of risk. That's why insurance companies grow rich. I
believe in insurance. That's why when I have to gamble, I.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Always like to ensure that I'm on a sure things.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Some people have been rude enough to call this cheating,
that they were prejudiced by being on the losing side.
At that time in Mexico City, when I brought off
what I like to call my Mexican hat trick.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
And now Orson wells as Harry Lyon, the third man
in Mexican hat trick.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
There is no human affliction worse than poverty. In Mexico City,
I realized again that it's more pain.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
For when the disease occurs in the midst of plenty.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Somehow there had always been enough to buy.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
A drink for some poor unsuspecting to restera you know
the kind. Too much money in his pocket, too much
trust in his heart for a fellow American, the meal
ticket for Harry Lyme, But now nothing.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Harry Lyme, soldier of many fortunes good.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
And bad, was down to his last borrowed cigarette, sitting
in a crummy dive in a fourth rate district of
the city, checking a mental roster of friends, contacts and
local suckers. Oh diego, just thinking about you, Jega, said
a man. We know, what's your standard rate for six
(03:40):
fast lessons in pocket taking?
Speaker 6 (03:43):
I prayed your favor for fail that.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
You know my friend Bominozo, well, of course, king of
Mexico City, dipson, how's he doing? He died this morning. No,
it's too bad or anything I do.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Before he died Bono asked me to helpe him remove
a great spain from his immortal source.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
He was afraid of winning in the next world.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Love, Diego, you've comes the wrong man.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
I'm having troubles enough with this world.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
Gave me this note, Harry.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
He asked me to take it for him to to.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
The police. Go to it, old man, but the police.
Could you not deliver this?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
No need to the police, Diego. Remember Bolo has interrusted
to you. Be a man, faced the issue straight, not
showed his back chest out all man.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
Just for me, you could remove borow stains more.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Simply, all right, let me see this note. See hm hmmm.
I don't know why you should be so worried about
that's mhmm.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Okay, Oh now, well, well, Diego, you've done a favorite
two for me.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
I am.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
I guess I'll take care of.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
You guys and reorganized. You will take it to the police.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I don't worry about a thing, oh man, I'll take
care of the note. M. When I managed to get
rid of the grateful Diego, I sat down and studied
this little not more carefully seventeen years.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
Ago than I would explain.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
In the little Mexican town of Leon, Boulomignoso had killed
a man. This was his confessional, complete account of how
he permitted an innocent man, somebody named Vicente Coelio, to
be accused of this murder. It explained that Bolo had
hidden signed after David's proving Coelio's innocence.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Somewhere in Leon. Just wear in Leon.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
He eggrected to say, at least be interested in this confession,
of course, but then it seemed.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
To me that the Koeio family might have a greater concern.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
So I decided to investigate the financial aspects of a
family interest, Senor, says Senora Coelio.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
See this is my daughter, and I won't cut out.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I'm delighted in Senora, this document concerns your husband.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
He was your husband. Yes, yes, that is dead. And
how long has it been since his death?
Speaker 7 (05:55):
I mean we do not know, not for sertain and
it has been a long time.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yes, you needn't be delicate on my account, Senora. I
know no, Senora, I know that your father was accused
of murdering Ane Leon seventeen years ago.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
He did not be sent he would not hurt, he
was not a criminal.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
The police didn't share that view when he escaped from
prison before his triumph seemed to cinch.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
The case against him. Right, Okay, maybe the authority more
certain of his guilt, but.
Speaker 7 (06:21):
He had to escape, but there was no hope without
the pays. Yes, you think to know so much, mister
l I.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Know what you know, Senorita.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Those papers with the evidence that could have saved your father,
and they were stolen.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
This does not help us. We have searched for seventeen
years for some kind of evidence that.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Would have cleared the name of my husband.
Speaker 7 (06:39):
We have spent thousand corpas or what.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
If you found that evidence now, Senora.
Speaker 8 (06:43):
Oh Portillos, If we only.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Could, Senora seniority to those papers.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
They were affidavits proving absolutely that your husband was nowhere
near the scene of the crime when it occurred.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
They were How do you know this?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I have the word of the man who stole them.
Speaker 7 (06:57):
You have Alicia. Where is his name, mister daid.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
It's too late for that. He's dead dead.
Speaker 6 (07:06):
Then it has been for nothing.
Speaker 8 (07:07):
Why do you come to us now?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
There's always hope, scenery. I have his confession that he
was the murderer. I can prove your father's innocence.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
You can no you're here. If I knew that, someday
I'm the grass. We must go to the prey.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
I'm afraid not the police. You won't go where there's death,
dead confession. I'm afraid it isn't enough. The Afi David scenerytor.
I know where they can be found. That is the
approximate location. After seven exist. With a little searching, I
can produce them.
Speaker 7 (07:38):
Then you must get them for us.
Speaker 8 (07:40):
We will do anything.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
There's nothing I'd rather do more. I'd like very much
to help. You can clearly you caller your name, but
well I can't leave immediately.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
It take time six months or so, and yes, probably
a year, depends on.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Business, of course, and you have certain commitments here in
Mexico City is losing quite a bit of income. I'm
afraid months anyway.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
No, you must cut it now, Mama senior. We do
not want you to lose any income for our sake.
If you help us, we will pay you what money
you would lose.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
I'm grateful, Singer would hesitate usy. My income is not.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Small, something around one hundred thousand paces.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
For six months.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
We will give you two hundred thousand paces.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
It's in your line.
Speaker 8 (08:22):
Our money is yours.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
We will pay anything.
Speaker 8 (08:24):
You will not be sorry.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
I'm sure day back you're going go a baby. Mm hmm,
hey there you go, take back.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
You come in, come in, come in your life.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
In pause, come come right.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
I see your preparing for your journeys.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Kind of your decent share. Take this one.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
It's all right. I will stand.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Don't you ever find me here?
Speaker 7 (09:02):
It was not difficult. You are well known.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
It seems oh checking up on me.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
You might say, the equilis as cautious people, mister l
My mother thought it senda.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
I should be making apologies.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
Mister Lyne, forgive me for saying this. But for a
man with business attairs such as yours.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
You live so so modestly. See not at all.
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Not the spider web over there and read.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
A genuine antique fifteenth century. The spider is a direct
descendant of Cortez.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
I am sorry, mister. That looks there's no one.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
It seems you've.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Had your share, Risha, I said, mind, there's really nice
little difference. We can help each other now, and that's
what's really important, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
See yes, let me for your drink, good stuff. The
pocket friend of mine borrowed it from an American tourist.
Speaker 7 (09:45):
No, thank you. You are still gay, mister, Harry.
Speaker 8 (09:48):
See Harry, I say no, I.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Think I think something is bothering you.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
What is it? The spider web, the saggy chair?
Speaker 7 (09:54):
Harry, I would like to go to Laone with you.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Just a minute, Generator, I have the car.
Speaker 7 (10:00):
We'll need an interpreter.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Perhaps I've heard it's a lonely town.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
Yes, well, I don't just stand that woman going home
and pack.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
No need to signor my luggage is downstairs in the car.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
We got our first glimpse of Leon from a hill
behind the city. Quiet little mountain town, quite incapable of
coping with giddy tourists and expense accounts as.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
We had Leone. I wondered what merder I had to do.
Speaker 7 (10:29):
With a place like this, When not, Harry, you have
taken us directly to the town plaza.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Wouldn't mess only one road into town at a hotel
over there? It is the hotel, and that must be
the town's official greeter.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
After go, after go.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
Gracius, he says he will watch the car.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
All right, one or one hundred and every mentor.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
His mother says, your family is dying of hunger.
Speaker 8 (11:09):
He's something.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Looks like the breeder was just send into retirement.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Bueno years.
Speaker 9 (11:16):
When your welcome to John, you will be happy with
us in this hotel, your wife and your gratis might
have a beautiful room for you.
Speaker 7 (11:27):
Senor will Momento dos Senor Rea.
Speaker 5 (11:36):
Senior.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
We founded the officials little hotel manager across the time.
Speaker 9 (11:46):
Lab and many centuries before this, my hotel.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
Was the home of one of the Spanish conkystas.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
There are rooms down there. There is much romance over there.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
Is that we here?
Speaker 5 (12:01):
Brian, Oh the bill.
Speaker 9 (12:04):
This is the famous church bell of Leon Faus. There's
a long and tragic stories in your eta. Every hour
it tolds to remind us of the scene.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
Look man some other time.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
If you don't find she's in your pit.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
Here you are.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
For you a young lady. How do you say?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
We worsh up first and then start the big search
for the after David.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
Harriet seems so difficult. Who does one begin with?
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Of course, sign Israel, we find the papers. That's cool.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Orson Wells returns in just a moment as the third
man now Orson Welles. As the third man continues with
(13:46):
Mexican hat trick.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Leon was even sleepier than most Mexican towns. Only the
bell disturbed it. After the midday siest, when you're expecting
to come to life, everything just went on sleeping as before.
Good for the nerves, of course, unless you were trying
to wake up a memory seventeen years old. This mass
(14:16):
of some little time of asking if he's you speak English?
Speaker 3 (14:22):
I want some information? Gone to doing b I understood that.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Okay, Now, Harry, another bar, one bar, another, one cafe
after another.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
We made them all. We had cock.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Fried rings, the viehos on the street.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
Everyone in every place where there might be a clue.
I need to points in the direction of those affe.
Speaker 7 (14:57):
Davis, did you find anything, Harry, I think to John,
but perhaps we are making a mistake. What about my father?
It would be easier to find someone who remembers him.
We can start some day mentioning.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Your father's name.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
Just mentioned it around here, and not only the police
down on us.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
We'll have every cheap confidence man in Mexico on our
hands trying to find out what we want.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
But we have to start somewhere, and we have to
rest somewhere too.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
My feet are killing me.
Speaker 7 (15:23):
Let's go back to the hotel, Harry, it is not
right for me to be.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
Come on, come on, there's no time to worry about propriety,
but it is.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
We're both tired, We've got to rest.
Speaker 5 (15:37):
We might as well talk while we're doing it. Go on,
I'll order.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Up a couple of drinks.
Speaker 5 (15:46):
Hey, hey, not to cry about.
Speaker 7 (15:50):
I'm sorry, I cannot help you.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Come here. Come on.
Speaker 8 (15:54):
Oh you should not kiss me.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
I'd be pretty silly if I didn't.
Speaker 8 (15:58):
Harry, please, No, had a great care elation. Oh, Hatty,
you know what.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
I kind of hope this search of ours isn't too
successful too soon. Things were considerably more bearable during the
next few days, the warm Mexican evenings and Alicia.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
But during the days, long, tedious days.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
We searched and searched and searched, and we found nothing.
After one of our better evenings together, I left Alicia
at the door and headed to my room.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
When I opened the door, there was a surprise waiting
for it.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I had a guest, the weasoned old beggar, who then
the first agree to some our.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Arrival and leone.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
This time, his greeting was a little violent.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Hey, damn, why you're doing so?
Speaker 3 (16:55):
He would die, to kill me, to try to kill me?
Speaker 5 (16:58):
I die?
Speaker 8 (16:58):
What are you doing here?
Speaker 3 (17:00):
What do you want?
Speaker 5 (17:01):
Hanhandle business? Falling off?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Robbing hotel rooms?
Speaker 9 (17:03):
Now?
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Or was he what the police?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
Okay, okaya? Tell what's it all about? You're babbling about it?
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Wanted to kill you?
Speaker 9 (17:11):
Bow?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
Are you looking for? Boro?
Speaker 5 (17:15):
What he got to do with?
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Say?
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Hey, come back here?
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Follow sway?
Speaker 3 (17:26):
You the beggar, the free bitten old car watching beggar.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
This was Alicia's father, buried in the dust of police records, rumors,
and memory.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
But after all these years, still.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Alive, and those after Davids proving his innocence of the murder,
maybe twice as valuable to the living as they were
the dead. His family would certainly building to pay much
more for them now, unless, of course, Kaway you found
him first, obviously, that's why he was in leone. I
had to get my hands on those papers before he did,
(17:59):
and before Alisha realized her father was still alive.
Speaker 7 (18:05):
H Harry, I thought we could go.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Harry, it's okay, come in and cross the door. What happened?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I had a argument with destiny, Honey, I won.
Speaker 7 (18:15):
You're cloth they're all torn in your face.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Oh, honey thing I can't wash off with soap and water.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
The old beggar you must have been asked to my money,
tried to kill me when I caught him.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
And oh, Harry, you must be cared.
Speaker 5 (18:28):
No, the other one has got to be careful. Stay
away from him.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Don't tell me what he's up to.
Speaker 5 (18:31):
Now and I try to get back at me by
hurting you.
Speaker 7 (18:34):
Then we must go to the police.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
No, no, no, I don't want to talk to the police,
not until we can clear your father, and then handling myself.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
You just stay close to me. I had to find
those blasted papers quickly now.
Speaker 5 (18:50):
But how where us Coleo.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Any closer than than I? How could I keep Alisha
from learning that the.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Family was alive.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
Ali's nagging thoughts, the incessant clanging of that church bell
just outside my window. You can well understand my reaction
to the hotel managers.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Typical good morning greeting the years and your I did
not sleep.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Your your body is not comfortable.
Speaker 3 (19:22):

She is at the church.
Speaker 9 (19:28):
She s and your this is a great holiday in
our city at midnight, the bell begins to tall and
does not stop until the sunsets in the time.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
It's going to keep up that racket of sundown, that
horrible clanking clank.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
These lungs and your this is the will of the Lord.
Speaker 9 (19:42):
I need some cord the punishments and your we are
ton on this day for the great scene.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Of Leon, the great scene of Leon, that must have
been a whopper, the terrible scenes in your on these days.
Seventeen years ago good man was killing Leon. For this
the Lord to remove the music from the pail. And
at wait a minute, perhaps seven years ago, there was.
Speaker 9 (20:02):
Murder in our seat, and the bell miracle, Senor, on
this what's the charater with the murder?
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Please yours do not show?
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Will you please get the blasted point?

Senor, you must hear me. This bell was once a
glorious musical tone. Yeah, then there came this terrible scene.
Speaker 5 (20:18):
This kid go on.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
One of the men of Leon was taken by the
police for this murder.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
Then there recur this mirror mirror.
Speaker 9 (20:26):
The music left the tone of the bell, and this
man was never seen.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Again when I changed his tone over either before the
man of rot the trial.
Speaker 9 (20:34):
The will of the lords and your our punishment for
permitting violent death in our city. Each year, on this day,
we pray that the music will restore to our bell.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
You say you wish compie.
Speaker 5 (20:45):
No no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
When the Seniorator returns some of the see me fronto
right away, it's too late, honey, It is too fantic.
Oh sure, it's fantastic.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Bells. Don't change that tone the way you and I
change our clothes. It's gonna be a reason for it,
a practical, parliamental, tangible reason.
Speaker 5 (21:09):
I'll look.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Put this note Bolla's note here. He admits it right here.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
He stole the evidence w cleared your father, He says,
he hid it right here, and lay on.
Speaker 7 (21:16):
Why did he not destroy it immediately?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Nose may be intended to confess sooner or later.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
Murders are seldom logical people.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
But look now we learn that just before your father
escaped from the police, the tone of this bell suddenly, mysteriously,
miraculously change from a melodious ring.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
To that clank.
Speaker 5 (21:30):
We are out there.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Listen to it, Alicia, listen, what makes a bell sound
like that?
Speaker 9 (21:34):
Hi?
Speaker 7 (21:35):
I do not know how it may be.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I do not know why but tonight I'm gonna find out,
and you're going to help. It was midnight before the
streets were empty. Alicia and I handed the little church
and find up the ancient flight of stairs to the company.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
Quite wow, did you get to the ball?
Speaker 5 (22:03):
Get to I don't have to use the bell pool
it will make.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
So much noise.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Don't make much difference once we get what we're after.
Speaker 8 (22:12):
Can you reach it?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
That's done, I'll say, here the condra shoes. I'll let
me know. Make this second.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
Be careful, Harry, do not hurt yourself, Okay, Harry, I
love you.
Speaker 10 (22:26):
This is for good luck.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
I climbed up hand over hand.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
I don't know how far, ten feet maybe fifteen or
twenty wasn't easy.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
Then made a horrible racket over me, and the sound drew.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
In waves as I approached it, making me dizzy and dizzy,
and I'm not let go.
Speaker 5 (22:44):
But finally there was no more rope.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
My hand touched the inside of the bell and it.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
Stopped ringing the old line.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
Confidence was at a cock eyed angle.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
And slipping away fast, and I certainly grabbed the clap
room sounds what I wanted, heavy.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
Oil skin wrapper around it, a couple of hundred thousand
paces worth of missing Affi Davids.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
One good tug pulled it away.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
I stuffed at my shirt front.
Speaker 6 (23:13):
Alicia.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
The rope burned chunks of flesh right out of my hands.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
As I slid down below me, I saw another figure
struggling with Alisha, trying to get past her. But two
of them were wrestling on a narrow ledge at the
top of the steps leading the bell tower.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I caught one moonlit glimpse of their faces as I
swung under the ledge. It was the beggar Coweyo, Alicia's father.
Before I could reach him, she.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
Got one arm free and hit him.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
As hard as she could. Then she shoved and he
went over Alicia, Alicia to kill me.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
It's all right, it's all right, no good, look, this
is getting up. Yes, after all, my god, what we
came from.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
Harry Lime returns in just a month, and now Harry lyon.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
As far as the authorities were concerned, kawe Yo was
a nameless beggar who had gone and blown his top.
They locked him up, of course.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
But said he'd be released later on.
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I was the one person who could identify and the
one person who could return him to his family with.
Speaker 5 (25:40):
Who I interfere.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
But the old man figured it out for himself. If
he wanted to remain the unknown beggar.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
For the rest of his days, that was his business.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Probably everybody'd be happier the way things were, particularly Alicia.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
She was all that really worried me.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
I went out into Little.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Prize to think it over.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Day was breaking, the birds who were waking up. A
little canteena was still open. I went in and sat
down at a greasy little table and had myself a
couple of tequilas, and I borrowed a few sheets of
notepaper and wrote this. Ohl sure, my darling, I'm writing
us in a great rush because I want to be
gone from Leon before you're awake. I'm doing it this
(26:19):
way because I'm afraid if I saw you again, I
wouldn't know how to go, and I've got to no
matter what I can't, I mustn't stay on here in
Mexico with you. I hope you'll find somebody you deserve.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
But I doubt it.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Anyway, here's wishing your happiness, idiots. And as for my fee,
you compare it to a man called Diego who called
at your house again, Idios, yours.
Speaker 10 (26:41):
Harry life, its.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
Instant in.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
It it it it.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
It it it
Speaker 10 (28:20):
