Presenting Orson Wells as the Third Man, the.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Lives of Harry Lyons the fabulous stories of the immortal character,
originally created in the motion picture The Third Man with
Zipper music by Anton kra.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
This is a love story. I don't worry. There's actionally
Arab chieftains, international gangsters and the buried treasure. But essentially
this is a tale of about one of the times
I fell in love. I don't laugh. I'm not the
first man that happened to the Third Man either.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
And now Orson Welles is Harry Lyons, the third Man
in an old Maorish custom.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
And Valerie Valerie Daruge that was her name. She lived
in North Africa, claimed descent from one of the old
Barbary pirates, and looked like the direct and miraculous offspring
of a couple of the more personable Greek gods. Maybe
(02:25):
she wasn't then, but her official grandfather was old Armand Darouge,
owner of an ancient fortified estate couple of hundred kilometers
inland from Algiers. I heard stories about him, of his
great wealth, and what was more important, its strange source.
So the first thing I did when I got into
town was to wangle an invitation for a gala the
Governor's mansion. I knew Mademoiselle d'arrouxe would be there. She was.
(02:48):
I figured one thing would lead to another, and it did.
Four weeks and seven meetings later, Valerie and I were
dancing together at rondezvous in the ballroom of the luxurious
Grenade Hotel in the Mediterranean. Harry, You've done so wonderfully.
I float and they dancing with you is like coming
(03:10):
in with the tide.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Oh, you are a poetry silly, not a close please,
Madame Fotage, she is watching.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yes, Madam Fantage, we have to bring her along.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
But suddenly I could not travel to the city alone,
not even for a visit.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Nearly to the shop.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
You've got presate protection without her sees to me that
giant Sudanese of yours in a red fairs and a
baggy fan.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
But Ali is only my shopper. This is not your America.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Shi. Here.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
The chaperone is also necessary for the unknarried.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Girl of the Yeah, yeah, let's go on about her
and watch the song. You know you have another chance
to be alone, not once since we met.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
But suddenly, if you read Barbarossa again, Harry, perhaps I
called the rain for Madame tornadage to occupy herself.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
And your grandfather, the senor.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Perhaps it will be a day when he is out
to inspect the fox or what is left of them?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
That was fox of sheep. There's hobby that that's that
is hobby. You know. It seems difficult how to think
of your aristocratical grandfather as a farmer.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
But he is much more at Barbarozza.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
He is king that certainly looks about you might be
very incarnation of that old barbaric because he founded your family.
A Rouse Barbarossa's called.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
You know about that her?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Oh sure, I read up on it. Rouse was the
greatest the Moorish pirates, was more.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
For the Greek town Muslim. He is good, was red
like the blood on his hands. So after four hundred
and fifty years an ancestival was cuf by God and
man becomes a romantic figure.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Grown no terry, Yes, what are you thinking? I was
thinking of perfectly beautiful, Oh, Harry, if you only.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Make booklets, he but no, you don't.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
That is more than a verbal posy.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Oh no, no, no, no, doom.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Don't embrace me. But if you love me, it will
not be easy.
Speaker 4 (05:10):

Speaker 2 (05:13):
He and I we we are the loss of it that.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Yes, I know he has plans for me to live.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
In Paris for a while, a time at Saban. He's
been rome in Ath can do all that now on
a long, wonderful honeymoon.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
But I can't disregard him since my parents are dead.
I am all he had left.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
What if I spoke tom what do you think of
your happiness? You just can say I don't know. Supposing
I drive up to Barbarosa tomorrow, I'll ask him.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Well he he will ask questions foolish wants such as
who is your family?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Your policy? No need to worry, honey, I'm like a
pair of socks, neither right nor left.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Oh, my dear, do not drop the compere for he
needs is most serious, I.
Speaker 3 (05:54):

I h you're a GENI did you rub a lamp
or something?
Speaker 6 (06:06):
My damn.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
You full fat.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I left the hotel and said it my way through
the streets to the little apartment in the European Quarter
that I've branded. I first arrived, but twilight was sewing
stars and the star and I learned footsteps silver taking
and looked down at the stell pink cheek little man
in a baggy out pack, a suede and fuzzy fodora.
He kept pace, looking up at me with glossy inquisitive eyes.
(06:41):
Less your lamb, yes me to introduce myself. He drew
a wallet from his pocket and flipped it open in
a entity faminate his plastic sheet that stared up at me.
Pierre ju chanon police to take me. You were a
man in Algas, wake yourself. That's why of your stay
is a compliment to our city massive and I've always
(07:04):
held that you can't really know a place, and as
you lived there for a while, but when you've.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
Stopped over in Palervo, it's just before selling for Algians.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Did you meet their one calling himself.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
Pierre du boisbo Only his name is not du Bla monsieur.
It is Mario Martu huh and once he john plenty
of things monsieur, including the other.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
He fled algia some time ago. His tale was picked
up at Tallemo. But would he be likely to return
to our jeans evidently he has a British Aldiala has
identified his picture as one of several bandits who tortured
and robbed him last week. I seen a dangerous man, monsieur.
We think perhaps he is a.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
Lieutenant of El Sequina, who El Sequina a bad one outlaw,
one of our local gangster leaders.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
If it occurs that you'll see Mary or making in
this erring on the telephone, Oh lottled away into the
gathering twilight. How many pieces in my past? He does it?
(08:18):
That board pass forward? He checked it with a parashuity,
but no no, so he picked me up for sure?
If he has I was this another one of those
captain mouse games? Couldn't tell? Went on to my apartments
when I got there, and put my key in the
lock and refused to turn, but I was already unlocked.
(08:41):
Come on in on me.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
You're gonna just spend there and spare you.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
What are you doing here?
Speaker 8 (08:50):
Yes, s Kina, treasure is getting low. It was necessary
to get money at one car. He is getting impatient
with you.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
On patient, you know, just stop me on the street
a police agent asking questions about you.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Tell me something new?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Perhaps I will that legend you told me in Planomo
about a Rouse Barbarossa buying a billion franks with the
gold cups and things like that. No legend, maybe not anywhere.
I did some research in the government library. So Rouse
Barbarossa actually captured a galleon back in fifteen four, which
the pulpit sent from General loaded with gold dust and
wine to the use of the church. He was pursued
(09:25):
by warships and hid his loot in a cave on
a court somewhere between Algiers and Gucci. He used to
be a legend that Arous and his crew returned to
the cave once every year, rising from hell, you know,
to celebrate their capture and toss their looking sacramental wine wine. Yes,
an old Moorish customer. The Cloran does not omit Muslims
to drink. My friends, Rus was a Greek variety. In
his courses, wrote their own chorra I am not interested in,
(09:49):
and neither am i I. According to the records, the
guaryon Rouse captured was loaded with newly mine gold dust
for the goldsmiths of Cherida Vekia has no mention of
finished gold. Article I do not get us through what
the records say. All I know is what I see now,
O Damo Darushli this.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
Past year has sold numerous antiques.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Of pure goals to deal us.
Speaker 8 (10:06):
The englishman we robbed had a sixteenth century cup he
brought from Darusha.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
We're all, okay, okay, you just leave it to me.
I'll find out soon enough. Just where the stuff is here?
Speaker 7 (10:14):
Good?
Speaker 8 (10:14):
You have just twenty four hours. What if you still
have not secured the necessary information? Else the Kina will
take steps to obtain it himself.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Meaning just what, meaning he may have to visit Parvarosa personally,
I say.
Speaker 8 (10:26):
And as for you, Harry, your services will be dispensed
with them minutely.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I am sure you understand. Yes, yes, I think I understand.
The sun was high when I woke up the next morning,
addressed carefully, hired a limousine and expensive working on, and
drove out from Algiers towards the ancient estate of Barbarossa
(10:55):
and pulled up before the villa Senor Aman Darus was
brought and sprawling narrow embrasures for windows. The old house
was like a lonely fortress in the blazing heat. I'd
expected Valerie to meet me at the door open. Instead,
a silent Arab servant bowed me, and it's very good
(11:23):
to find you at home, sir. I was, I was
hoping to speak to you. Yes, yes, sir, your granddaughter
and your granddaughter and I senor.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
But of course your childing campaign to win her hand.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Did you imagine I would not wonder who you are,
but I would not take a trouble to find out.
I told you all about it, and an.
Speaker 9 (11:42):
Excellent story it was. But the police this morning, I've
told this story that is quite default. The police your
echoed with you.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Algeria got knob problem such at you. I a door
opened the other end of the room, and the giant
suited me and stepped in a red fat baggy pants
and door. This time, however, something newer the ad is
a gay bandolier of cartridges and a rifle, a rifle
whose black muzzle stared at me as the old man
pocketed his automatic and turned to a telephone on a
(12:10):
nearby table. I will arrange for you a police escot
that years with you.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (12:22):
The telephone service will no doubt improve itself later in
the meantime, Ali will convey you to a guest.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Homestible, thoughtless and if I've made any missakes in the past.
It's it's world. Well, after all it none of us
are perfect. But I do love your granddaughter, monsieur, and
I have information of the utmost importance for you. I
didn't want to alarmor, but I've uncovered a plot, a plot.
It's true. I swear it's true. El se kin, I
think you've discovered a great treasure buried by a rude barbaros.
Speaker 10 (12:52):
What.
Speaker 9 (12:53):
It's fantastic, of course, but I call no, wait, pif
I big doing stuff coming to my home, meaning no,
listen to.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Me for your sake.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
That's the king.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
There's no friend of mine.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
He may raid Barbarosa.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
That is very nice? What kay is this? You expect
me to believe your parable, inmate? If it were the truth,
which I doubt, why should you want me? What do
you expect to get out of this? Your friendship, my
friendship plus that's your naturally, there's a plus plus a
nomenal percentage of a loot plus by your last two cents.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
Take him out before I do.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Orson Wells returns in just a moment as the third man,
(14:34):
and now Orson Wells as the third man continues with an.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Old Moorish custom. The guest room which Ali locked me
featured primarily an iron door, naked stone walls, and a
single barred window. M The hours pass, the shadows lengthen,
(15:06):
and nothing whatever happened except that I got first. He
was ever gonna keep me here until I died from this.
Surely he had got this blasted called through the algiers
by now. The police should have been here long ago. First,
if he hadn't, if the telephone line was still out,
And then I knew, of course a zequina. He and
(15:29):
his raiders say, thought they'd cut it, preparing the attack.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
They sto on the gate, killed the gods, and I.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Hear the game.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Bullets came through my window, ricochet from wall to wall.
Sooner or later I knew one would make a billiard
shot that would knock me into a side pocket. But
finally the firing slackened and grew still.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Valerie, your one grandfather.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
But he did not believe you.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
You said your love. You thought that was a lie too,
After what the police told about you, what else could
I think? But if you are not lying about your love, Valerie,
you know I wasn't.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Then take his wifle. Harry helps you send the house.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
What is your fun?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
You'll ask me to prove my love by getting myself killed. Okay, honey,
give me the gun. If I'm taking alive, I'm finished anyway.
We tacked our way through the darkened rooms and carridors,
stepping over a dead bodies. The big Sudanese lay half
crouched beside him, embrasure. He quarrels. We handed you better
point that rifle the other way. Lad, I'm on your side, Valerie,
(16:38):
are you too old or left?
Speaker 7 (16:39):
No?
Speaker 4 (16:39):
My grandfather he's on god bad window on the other
side of the house, but he's wounded.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
This way.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
And Rouge lay in the darkness beside the low grade.
He turned and his side to look at him. As
he came in the moonlight revealed his shoot from dark
with blood. She lied, I have taken the disko. I
have no other.
Speaker 9 (17:01):
If you love my granddaughter, you willate to obtain her safety.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Now I have here, Can you reach it?
Speaker 9 (17:10):
On the floor, the fast fifth parchment, very old?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Just what is a map?
Speaker 9 (17:17):
I took it from its hiding place.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
A little wiler go to bermit. There beside you on
the floor a small piece of tank light.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
It the.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Map of the treasure out of the tail for children.
Speaker 9 (17:34):
Then it's true with the smaller part remains what it
has been for over four hundred years, with the curves
of Gord upon it. If you love Veraler, you can
buy her life with it and yours. You are clever alive,
you can bargain with a seekina save Valery from those
sides I don't understand. I will tell you their meaning. First,
(17:57):
swear on your salvation that you will keep faith. I swear,
I listen. Then I will show you how to find
the cave of the coffee. Here here he is the
key to the court.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
When the rose had finished, I put the patchment in
my pocket, stuffed the candle, tried to make the old
man little un comfortable. But this party had gone in.
But I spoke, There wasn't any answer the master of Obamas,
who was dead. Here they come.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
Now?
Speaker 6 (18:37):
Are you ahead, Mario Mario?
Speaker 10 (18:50):
Do you hear me?
Speaker 5 (18:51):
Then your boss to stop hooting.
Speaker 10 (18:52):
I got hurry under comproy.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Mario Mario is all right, I've just handed him. You've who.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
The big Sudanese was dying as he brought his rifle
out against the back of my skull. But all the same,
it was a blow that knocked me colder than a
witch's kiss. When I came to the brightness of day,
hurt my eyes and I closed them again quickly. The
world was rocking underneath me. Took a minute duo to
realize that I was tied hand and foot raped across
(19:23):
the back of a camel. The smell of salt air
was mixed with the smell of camel, and I saw
the dark blue of the Mediterranean curving to the left.
The Bedouins halted and dismounted. My wrist and ankle was
run bound, and I was led to the head of
the column. Mario Mato stood there and beside him it
(19:45):
was barely d rouge.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Good morning, Hadi.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Did you sleep well? And why have I been tied up?
I kept my part of the bargain. Didn dying? Did you?
Old Dus was holding me prisoner when you attacked. I
broke out and forced him to give me the chart
showing where the treasure Barbarossa is hidden here in my pocket.
Whatever it's gone, you have it, of course. Wow.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
I didn't fail, did I? And I once thought you
were a man, but I loved you anymore. Mario.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Those men over there, what are they? What are they digging?
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Oh for you, Hardie, but why why? Where's Alsiquina?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Where is he?
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Bring me to him?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
And you are supposed to be so clever. I should
have again a long time ago. You are el Sequina.
Well me both burning comment, Oh, in good time, Mademoiselle said,
that is the matter of the directions. Accord, Mademoiselle, I told.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
You I didn't know if I did, I died before.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
I said I know you. I'll tell you for a price, right,
said Mademoiselle de Roche, and myself free in Algiers. That's
not much to ask if this is not one of
your little fiction not tricks.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
I will set you both free after we find the treasures,
not before.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Okay, okay, I'll give me the map. We followed the
broken coastline, and later that day the sky grew gray
and dust devils dance. We reached the place. No bedroom
remained at the barrier on the beach as I led
them into an arrow break and the rocks, a break
(21:23):
that widened the to a an enormous cabin, and flashlight
beams danced about, picks out a number of copper chest
green with age and corrosion, no doubt about it, Greek fund.
It's the cave of the Cossus.
Speaker 10 (21:37):
Oh my shoot, thank you.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
The rules must have taken most of it. But here's
one chest n'll fill to the top. Look. Look, it's
cold dust, one hundred million prices worth. At least. It's
been left here to escape the task. It the list
of it for souls fans of course. Oh they have
found something. So it's wine, Mario. Look, sacramental wine and
(22:04):
seal flagging wine taking off the galley hidden over four
hundred years ago.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Well, Mario, I.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Kept, I would haven't I?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Don't you think I should.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Get a small chair? Take this stock out.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
We huddled on the beach, and the lead of a
sheltering rock valery a garden eyes the mountain. Surf crashed
on the narrow beach. The sky sagged like a wind
circus tent, and two of the gods stared enviously at
the revelry in and about the cave. The third, more devout, scowls,
what's wrong, old girl? You're shivering. Two of our gods
(22:46):
are leaving, heading for the cave, the others staggering around,
lying about the sand. They're all drink enough. What the
table a chest of gold dust, the only one that left.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Those four scoundrels are taking out. What do you think
they would do? They're really they don't know where they're going.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Hey, god, git, don't stand with the chest and too
near the breakers. They don't call Mario?
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Where is he? Get them back? Hard? That's mine, hey, Mario, so.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Take it by his feet. There's a chest.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Jude to this guy throwing all my open the blake
yellow dup swallow's.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Easy, it comes, Mario, shoke line meter sharing your money? No, no, no,
what's the matter.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Don't worry, don't shoot.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
It would be a sick h here now am I
still collapses? Cist calling from his Handedy, So look at
all of us, the whole gang lying around. M hmm, incredible.
(24:10):
What are you going to do? Take you back to our.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Chears with me and let's go those time and see forever.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Relax, sweethearts, they will, they will. Your grandfather put that
wine there himself, he told me, so he dies. What
do you mean? Was for the refreshment of all might?
Tell upon the treasure in his absence. It's a fine
old vintage dear laced with poison. Harry Lyme returns in
(24:49):
just a moment and now very live. Whatever happens to that,
(25:53):
I'm sure you're asking that question. What Son time to
think of it? I saved her life and all she
had to say to that word goodbye. That's a long
for an hour. Remember, if you don't want to work
for your living, don't bother about buried treasure. You may
have to dig for it in its.
Speaker 10 (27:30):
Intus at
Speaker 6 (28:13):
Town
Presenting Orson Wells as the Third Man, the.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Lives of Harry Lyons the fabulous stories of the immortal character,
originally created in the motion picture The Third Man with
Zipper music by Anton kra.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
This is a love story. I don't worry. There's actionally
Arab chieftains, international gangsters and the buried treasure. But essentially
this is a tale of about one of the times
I fell in love. I don't laugh. I'm not the
first man that happened to the Third Man either.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
And now Orson Welles is Harry Lyons, the third Man
in an old Maorish custom.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
And Valerie Valerie Daruge that was her name. She lived
in North Africa, claimed descent from one of the old
Barbary pirates, and looked like the direct and miraculous offspring
of a couple of the more personable Greek gods. Maybe
(02:25):
she wasn't then, but her official grandfather was old Armand Darouge,

(02:48):
I figured one thing would lead to another, and it did.
Four weeks and seven meetings later, Valerie and I were
dancing together at rondezvous in the ballroom of the luxurious
Grenade Hotel in the Mediterranean. Harry, You've done so wonderfully.
I float and they dancing with you is like coming
(03:10):
in with the tide.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Oh, you are a poetry silly, not a close please,
Madame Fotage, she is watching.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Yes, Madam Fantage, we have to bring her along.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
But suddenly I could not travel to the city alone,
not even for a visit.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Nearly to the shop.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
You've got presate protection without her sees to me that
giant Sudanese of yours in a red fairs and a
baggy fan.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
But Ali is only my shopper. This is not your America.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Shi. Here.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
The chaperone is also necessary for the unknarried.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Girl of the Yeah, yeah, let's go on about her
and watch the song. You know you have another chance
to be alone, not once since we met.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
But suddenly, if you read Barbarossa again, Harry, perhaps I
called the rain for Madame tornadage to occupy herself.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
And your grandfather, the senor.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Perhaps it will be a day when he is out
to inspect the fox or what is left of them?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
That was fox of sheep. There's hobby that that's that
is hobby. You know. It seems difficult how to think
of your aristocratical grandfather as a farmer.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
But he is much more at Barbarozza.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
He is king that certainly looks about you might be
very incarnation of that old barbaric because he founded your family.

Speaker 6 (06:06):
My damn.
Speaker 5 (06:08):
You full fat.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
I left the hotel and said it my way through
the streets to the little apartment in the European Quarter
that I've branded. I first arrived, but twilight was sewing
stars and the star and I learned footsteps silver taking
and looked down at the stell pink cheek little man
in a baggy out pack, a suede and fuzzy fodora.
He kept pace, looking up at me with glossy inquisitive eyes.
(06:41):
Less your lamb, yes me to introduce myself. He drew
a wallet from his pocket and flipped it open in
a entity faminate his plastic sheet that stared up at me.
Pierre ju chanon police to take me. You were a
man in Algas, wake yourself. That's why of your stay
is a compliment to our city massive and I've always
(07:04):
held that you can't really know a place, and as
you lived there for a while, but when you've.
Speaker 7 (07:09):
Stopped over in Palervo, it's just before selling for Algians.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Did you meet their one calling himself.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
Pierre du boisbo Only his name is not du Bla monsieur.
It is Mario Martu huh and once he john plenty
of things monsieur, including the other.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
He fled algia some time ago. His tale was picked
up at Tallemo. But would he be likely to return
to our jeans evidently he has a British Aldiala has
identified his picture as one of several bandits who tortured
and robbed him last week. I seen a dangerous man, monsieur.
We think perhaps he is a.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
Lieutenant of El Sequina, who El Sequina a bad one outlaw,
one of our local gangster leaders.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
If it occurs that you'll see Mary or making in
this erring on the telephone, Oh lottled away into the
gathering twilight. How many pieces in my past? He does it?
(08:18):
That board pass forward? He checked it with a parashuity,
but no no, so he picked me up for sure?
If he has I was this another one of those
captain mouse games? Couldn't tell? Went on to my apartments
when I got there, and put my key in the
lock and refused to turn, but I was already unlocked.
(08:41):
Come on in on me.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
You're gonna just spend there and spare you.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
What are you doing here?
Speaker 8 (08:50):
Yes, s Kina, treasure is getting low. It was necessary
to get money at one car. He is getting impatient
with you.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
On patient, you know, just stop me on the street
a police agent asking questions about you.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Tell me something new?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Perhaps I will that legend you told me in Planomo
about a Rouse Barbarossa buying a billion franks with the
gold cups and things like that. No legend, maybe not anywhere.
I did some research in the government library. So Rouse
Barbarossa actually captured a galleon back in fifteen four, which
the pulpit sent from General loaded with gold dust and
wine to the use of the church. He was pursued
(09:25):
by warships and hid his loot in a cave on
a court somewhere between Algiers and Gucci. He used to
be a legend that Arous and his crew returned to
the cave once every year, rising from hell, you know,
to celebrate their capture and toss their looking sacramental wine wine. Yes,
an old Moorish customer. The Cloran does not omit Muslims
to drink. My friends, Rus was a Greek variety. In
his courses, wrote their own chorra I am not interested in,
(09:49):
and neither am i I. According to the records, the
guaryon Rouse captured was loaded with newly mine gold dust
for the goldsmiths of Cherida Vekia has no mention of
finished gold. Article I do not get us through what
the records say. All I know is what I see now,
O Damo Darushli this.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
Past year has sold numerous antiques.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Of pure goals to deal us.
Speaker 8 (10:06):
The englishman we robbed had a sixteenth century cup he
brought from Darusha.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
We're all, okay, okay, you just leave it to me.
I'll find out soon enough. Just where the stuff is here?
Speaker 7 (10:14):
Good?
Speaker 8 (10:14):
You have just twenty four hours. What if you still
have not secured the necessary information? Else the Kina will
take steps to obtain it himself.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Meaning just what, meaning he may have to visit Parvarosa personally,
I say.
Speaker 8 (10:26):
And as for you, Harry, your services will be dispensed
with them minutely.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I am sure you understand. Yes, yes, I think I understand.
The sun was high when I woke up the next morning,
addressed carefully, hired a limousine and expensive working on, and
drove out from Algiers towards the ancient estate of Barbarossa
(10:55):
and pulled up before the villa Senor Aman Darus was
brought and sprawling narrow embrasures for windows. The old house
was like a lonely fortress in the blazing heat. I'd
expected Valerie to meet me at the door open. Instead,
a silent Arab servant bowed me, and it's very good
(11:23):
to find you at home, sir. I was, I was
hoping to speak to you. Yes, yes, sir, your granddaughter
and your granddaughter and I senor.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
But of course your childing campaign to win her hand.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
Did you imagine I would not wonder who you are,
but I would not take a trouble to find out.
I told you all about it, and an.
Speaker 9 (11:42):
Excellent story it was. But the police this morning, I've
told this story that is quite default. The police your
echoed with you.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Algeria got knob problem such at you. I a door
opened the other end of the room, and the giant
suited me and stepped in a red fat baggy pants
and door. This time, however, something newer the ad is
a gay bandolier of cartridges and a rifle, a rifle
whose black muzzle stared at me as the old man
pocketed his automatic and turned to a telephone on a
(12:10):
nearby table. I will arrange for you a police escot
that years with you.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (12:22):
The telephone service will no doubt improve itself later in
the meantime, Ali will convey you to a guest.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Homestible, thoughtless and if I've made any missakes in the past.
It's it's world. Well, after all it none of us
are perfect. But I do love your granddaughter, monsieur, and
I have information of the utmost importance for you. I
didn't want to alarmor, but I've uncovered a plot, a plot.
It's true. I swear it's true. El se kin, I
think you've discovered a great treasure buried by a rude barbaros.
Speaker 10 (12:52):
What.
Speaker 9 (12:53):
It's fantastic, of course, but I call no, wait, pif
I big doing stuff coming to my home, meaning no,
listen to.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Me for your sake.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
That's the king.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
There's no friend of mine.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
He may raid Barbarosa.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
That is very nice? What kay is this? You expect
me to believe your parable, inmate? If it were the truth,
which I doubt, why should you want me? What do
you expect to get out of this? Your friendship, my
friendship plus that's your naturally, there's a plus plus a
nomenal percentage of a loot plus by your last two cents.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
Take him out before I do.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
Orson Wells returns in just a moment as the third man,
(14:34):
and now Orson Wells as the third man continues with an.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Old Moorish custom. The guest room which Ali locked me
featured primarily an iron door, naked stone walls, and a
single barred window. M The hours pass, the shadows lengthen,
(15:06):
and nothing whatever happened except that I got first. He
was ever gonna keep me here until I died from this.
Surely he had got this blasted called through the algiers
by now. The police should have been here long ago. First,
if he hadn't, if the telephone line was still out,
And then I knew, of course a zequina. He and
(15:29):
his raiders say, thought they'd cut it, preparing the attack.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
They sto on the gate, killed the gods, and I.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
Hear the game.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Bullets came through my window, ricochet from wall to wall.
Sooner or later I knew one would make a billiard
shot that would knock me into a side pocket. But
finally the firing slackened and grew still.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Valerie, your one grandfather.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
But he did not believe you.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
You said your love. You thought that was a lie too,
After what the police told about you, what else could
I think? But if you are not lying about your love, Valerie,
you know I wasn't.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Then take his wifle. Harry helps you send the house.
Speaker 5 (16:15):
What is your fun?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
You'll ask me to prove my love by getting myself killed. Okay, honey,
give me the gun. If I'm taking alive, I'm finished anyway.
We tacked our way through the darkened rooms and carridors,
stepping over a dead bodies. The big Sudanese lay half
crouched beside him, embrasure. He quarrels. We handed you better
point that rifle the other way. Lad, I'm on your side, Valerie,
(16:38):
are you too old or left?
Speaker 7 (16:39):
No?
Speaker 4 (16:39):
My grandfather he's on god bad window on the other
side of the house, but he's wounded.
Speaker 5 (16:43):
This way.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
And Rouge lay in the darkness beside the low grade.
He turned and his side to look at him. As
he came in the moonlight revealed his shoot from dark
with blood. She lied, I have taken the disko. I
have no other.
Speaker 9 (17:01):
If you love my granddaughter, you willate to obtain her safety.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Now I have here, Can you reach it?
Speaker 9 (17:10):
On the floor, the fast fifth parchment, very old?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Just what is a map?
Speaker 9 (17:17):
I took it from its hiding place.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
A little wiler go to bermit. There beside you on
the floor a small piece of tank light.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
It the.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Map of the treasure out of the tail for children.
Speaker 9 (17:34):
Then it's true with the smaller part remains what it
has been for over four hundred years, with the curves
of Gord upon it. If you love Veraler, you can
buy her life with it and yours. You are clever alive,
you can bargain with a seekina save Valery from those
sides I don't understand. I will tell you their meaning. First,
(17:57):
swear on your salvation that you will keep faith. I swear,
I listen. Then I will show you how to find
the cave of the coffee. Here here he is the
key to the court.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
When the rose had finished, I put the patchment in
my pocket, stuffed the candle, tried to make the old
man little un comfortable. But this party had gone in.
But I spoke, There wasn't any answer the master of Obamas,
who was dead. Here they come.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
Now?
Speaker 6 (18:37):
Are you ahead, Mario Mario?
Speaker 10 (18:50):
Do you hear me?
Speaker 5 (18:51):
Then your boss to stop hooting.
Speaker 10 (18:52):
I got hurry under comproy.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Mario Mario is all right, I've just handed him. You've who.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
The big Sudanese was dying as he brought his rifle
out against the back of my skull. But all the same,
it was a blow that knocked me colder than a
witch's kiss. When I came to the brightness of day,
hurt my eyes and I closed them again quickly. The
world was rocking underneath me. Took a minute duo to
realize that I was tied hand and foot raped across
(19:23):
the back of a camel. The smell of salt air
was mixed with the smell of camel, and I saw
the dark blue of the Mediterranean curving to the left.
The Bedouins halted and dismounted. My wrist and ankle was
run bound, and I was led to the head of
the column. Mario Mato stood there and beside him it
(19:45):
was barely d rouge.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Good morning, Hadi.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Did you sleep well? And why have I been tied up?
I kept my part of the bargain. Didn dying? Did you?
Old Dus was holding me prisoner when you attacked. I
broke out and forced him to give me the chart
showing where the treasure Barbarossa is hidden here in my pocket.
Whatever it's gone, you have it, of course. Wow.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
I didn't fail, did I? And I once thought you
were a man, but I loved you anymore. Mario.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
Those men over there, what are they? What are they digging?
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Oh for you, Hardie, but why why? Where's Alsiquina?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Where is he?
Speaker 5 (20:26):
Bring me to him?
Speaker 3 (20:27):
And you are supposed to be so clever. I should
have again a long time ago. You are el Sequina.
Well me both burning comment, Oh, in good time, Mademoiselle said,
that is the matter of the directions. Accord, Mademoiselle, I told.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
You I didn't know if I did, I died before.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
I said I know you. I'll tell you for a price, right,
said Mademoiselle de Roche, and myself free in Algiers. That's
not much to ask if this is not one of
your little fiction not tricks.
Speaker 8 (21:00):
I will set you both free after we find the treasures,
not before.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Okay, okay, I'll give me the map. We followed the
broken coastline, and later that day the sky grew gray
and dust devils dance. We reached the place. No bedroom
remained at the barrier on the beach as I led
them into an arrow break and the rocks, a break
(21:23):
that widened the to a an enormous cabin, and flashlight
beams danced about, picks out a number of copper chest
green with age and corrosion, no doubt about it, Greek fund.
It's the cave of the Cossus.
Speaker 10 (21:37):
Oh my shoot, thank you.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
The rules must have taken most of it. But here's
one chest n'll fill to the top. Look. Look, it's
cold dust, one hundred million prices worth. At least. It's
been left here to escape the task. It the list
of it for souls fans of course. Oh they have
found something. So it's wine, Mario. Look, sacramental wine and
(22:04):
seal flagging wine taking off the galley hidden over four
hundred years ago.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Well, Mario, I.
Speaker 5 (22:10):
Kept, I would haven't I?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Don't you think I should.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Get a small chair? Take this stock out.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
We huddled on the beach, and the lead of a
sheltering rock valery a garden eyes the mountain. Surf crashed
on the narrow beach. The sky sagged like a wind
circus tent, and two of the gods stared enviously at
the revelry in and about the cave. The third, more devout, scowls,
what's wrong, old girl? You're shivering. Two of our gods
(22:46):
are leaving, heading for the cave, the others staggering around,
lying about the sand. They're all drink enough. What the
table a chest of gold dust, the only one that left.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
Those four scoundrels are taking out. What do you think
they would do? They're really they don't know where they're going.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
Hey, god, git, don't stand with the chest and too
near the breakers. They don't call Mario?
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Where is he? Get them back? Hard? That's mine, hey, Mario, so.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Take it by his feet. There's a chest.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Jude to this guy throwing all my open the blake
yellow dup swallow's.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Easy, it comes, Mario, shoke line meter sharing your money? No, no, no,
what's the matter.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Don't worry, don't shoot.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
It would be a sick h here now am I
still collapses? Cist calling from his Handedy, So look at
all of us, the whole gang lying around. M hmm, incredible.
(24:10):
What are you going to do? Take you back to our.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Chears with me and let's go those time and see forever.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Relax, sweethearts, they will, they will. Your grandfather put that
wine there himself, he told me, so he dies. What
do you mean? Was for the refreshment of all might?
Tell upon the treasure in his absence. It's a fine
old vintage dear laced with poison. Harry Lyme returns in
(24:49):
just a moment and now very live. Whatever happens to that,
(25:53):
I'm sure you're asking that question. What Son time to
think of it? I saved her life and all she
had to say to that word goodbye. That's a long
for an hour. Remember, if you don't want to work
for your living, don't bother about buried treasure. You may
have to dig for it in its.
