The Saint.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Hello, this is long distance.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I have a call from mister Simon Templar.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
This is E one moment.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Please Hello, Can I have you a party on the line?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Hold on please, mister Templar. Mayor Towers is calling. Hello, Templar,
how are you, mister Mayor? How's your campaign coming?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Templar?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Could you get up here to my home right away?
Speaker 6 (01:17):
I know it's asking a lot, but this is urgent, most.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Urgent, certainly. What's it all about?
Speaker 6 (01:22):
Well, I don't like to say too much over the phone, Templar,
but something has come up which could very well cost
me my office. Use that's nothing, but it might cost
me the life of my son Bill.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I'll take the first brain I can get.
Speaker 6 (01:35):
Well, Thank you, my boy, thank you, and Templar, say
nothing to anyone.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Nothing, Yes, Mayor Towers sent for me. Simon Temple. Oh,
come in, Templer, come in. Thank you. Good of you
(02:00):
to come so promptly. We appreciate it. I'm J.
Speaker 7 (02:03):
Chase Finley, the Mayor's confidential secretary. Will you come right
this way?
Speaker 8 (02:06):
Oh, thank you. It's a very imposing home. I hadn't
been here before.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
We like it in here, please, Simon Templar, mister Mayor.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Templar, good to see you again, Simon, much too long much?
How I well, thanks, mister mayor, mister Mayor. Listen to him, Russ.
You weren't calling me, mister mayor that night up at
the Plaza Hotel. When Simon, my wife, my dear, this
is Simon Templar, old old Pray.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Currently, Simon my wife, Prudence, how do you do? Married?
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Five years now since you and I last saw each other. Templar,
Sit down, Sit down, my dear.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Business.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
I'm getting worried, Russell.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I told you, my dear, there's nothing to worry about.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
I can't help it.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
I sometimes wonder, Prudence, if you would be as worried
about me if I stayed away a few days, you wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Stay away a few days.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Good night, mister Templer, Good night, missus Towner, good night, missus.
Speaker 8 (03:04):
Tower City has a very beautiful first lady, mister.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
As you see, Templar, I haven't told her about Bill
and a favorite.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Her re action would be, well, the.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
Reason we sent for your, Templar is that the mayor's
son is being held a prisoner, you might say, a
political prisoner.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
By whom Packy Flynn, all those who worked for him.
I didn't know Flynn was that crude? What's his angle?
It's not crude at all, Templar.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
As you know, the mayor has been forced into this
special election by false charges of graft and tie ins
with gangsters. Flynn's candidate, Wickersham, has made this the main
theme of his campaign, and he's making serious inroads.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
And I haven't been able to reply because they're holding Bill.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
It's horrible. Bill is the price of silence.
Speaker 7 (03:51):
Exactly if we reply to the opposition's charges by showing
his link with Packy Flynn, the head of organized crime
in the city.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
But Bill might be well.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
When I think of that hypocrit Wicksham accusing me of
corruption when all the time he is in the camp
of corruption, seeking to lay his avarice's hands on the
public trusty whose funds most inevitably. My friends come from
the pockets, are simple, honest, working folk, like those of
you who tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Well, let's neither here nor there. How long is it, Bill,
being gone four days and the election is only two
days off? Have you reported this to the police?
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Unfortunately, Templar, it has lately come to my attention that
my own police force is not entirely trustworthy. Corrupting hand
of Patty Flynn has touched that. Also after the election,
I fully intend well, providing that I am re elected
of cause.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
Also, our Templar, A clumsy handling of this thing might
be extremely dangerous.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
For the exactly.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
I am prepared to pay the price of silence about
Flynn Wickersham if necessary.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
But the boy is the important thing.
Speaker 8 (04:51):
How does Flynn figure I'm getting away with this? What
happens after the election. He's gambling that I won't be
elected With Wickersham in power. Many charges we might make
would have little change of success.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I get the idea, and you want me to find Bill.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
It's constant. I should be everlasting, the great. My gratitude
is another thing to be taken likely, simon.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I'll do my best.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
How old is Bill? Now?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I think it's been years since that's twenty four.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Find a templar when organized gangsterism max is so bold.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
This is not the America I know and love.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
And this is not the America that those hardy pilgrims
landing on that rocky spray swept coast so many years
ago envisioned in shining imagery.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
As well, let's let's neither here nor there find my
boy templar. I'll do my best. Ins comm.
Speaker 9 (05:52):
Rockets you brought along company, mister Blinn. Mister Glynn is
not in. No, I don't expect him.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Thank you, good morning.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I wanted to see mister Flynn.
Speaker 8 (06:02):
Mister Flynn is not in.
Speaker 9 (06:04):
Didn't you just hear any say?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Sir, I never eat straw?
Speaker 10 (06:06):
Try it.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
You're missing half your life.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Believe me, you believe in living vicariously?
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Say you being fresh?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Because if you not feed it, I'll do my best. Eloise, Luise,
that's my favorite.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Name, Well it's not mine.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
How soon will mister Flynn be in Ellouise? Never?
Speaker 5 (06:24):
That is, even when he's in, he's out.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
And how could we arrange it so that he is
in dinner tonight? Perhaps dancing? Yeah? Maybe we could.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
No, let's not plan on it.
Speaker 9 (06:35):
I feel bad when you didn't show up, and you'd
have me on your conscience when you didn't show up,
So why don't you just go right on in?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Mister Flynn is the.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
First door to the right eloise. You are destined for greatness.
Speaker 9 (06:45):
I'm justined to marry a guy who wears eleven neck
tie and drives a motorcycle.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Don't tell, mister Flynn, I'll let you in.
Speaker 8 (06:51):
I wouldn't think of it, mister Flynn will my name
is Templar, and mister.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
F in Simon Templar, I'm from the Clean.
Speaker 8 (07:02):
Government League and I'm interested in getting your analysis at
the present.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Campaign and unbelieve it. How about if I applied for
a loan.
Speaker 10 (07:11):
We don't give loans here except the policemen and politicians.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
You don't look like either. You're very frank packing. Sure
I pay.
Speaker 10 (07:18):
Enough to hire politicians. They supply all the hypocrisy that's needed.
Why don't you be justice frank with me, Templar?
Speaker 8 (07:25):
What if I said I just wanted to have a
look at the famous Packy Flinn.
Speaker 10 (07:28):
I wouldn't believe it, but not accept it. You aren't
from Jay Edgar. You aren't from the treasury, so you
can be anything else.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
You want to be.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
How about the elections.
Speaker 10 (07:37):
Right after it's all over, I'll still be doing business.
It's a word to remember. Business. That's what politics is,
That's what gambling is.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Business.
Speaker 10 (07:48):
We're all in business to get We may fight a
little bit in public, but after it's over, we meet
back at the barn and divide up the loop.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
In other words, you are not where.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
That's why I like a keen mind.
Speaker 8 (08:03):
I'll let one of the boys show you, and I
think my keen mind and I can find a way.
We'll make sure I don't encourage nomads in my place
of business.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Gotch you, Buster, what are you doing here?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I just come down to better horse packings.
Speaker 10 (08:20):
I wanted you there, So go home and stay there.
But first show our friend out.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
Shall I show him out? Hurt or so soft but thorough?
Let's go frun goodbye packing.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I'll give you a message to the clean government.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Please do that.
Speaker 10 (08:36):
Always interested in clean government, but I don't think it'll
ever be popular.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Well let's just say it will never replace baseball? Do
you Buster?
Speaker 9 (08:47):
How can any message satch you?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Goodbye?
Speaker 9 (08:50):
Hllerwy oh cleaving so suit.
Speaker 8 (08:52):
I'd love to stay, but Buster insists we beat him runs.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I'll let this guy in anyway.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You're so fired me.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Come over here to the elevator.
Speaker 8 (09:10):
Yeah, you're interested in horses, bust. I got some information
this morning and something that day matter I.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
Never but got my own system mathematical. You can't have
three horses from the bottom. Divide the speed rating by
the number of winners. The jackass for the meeting a
copy four and then you you're well, I gotta have
paper in principle.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
This might be the one to get even on. Yeah, well,
I know, I know, I never bet. Oh yeah, but
this is straight from the owner.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
Yeah yeah, uh what I'm waiting to hear this afternoon.
They only won't release it unless he's sure. But if
you give me your address, no, no, no, not a
lot of bust. I don't even give back to my wife.
So long, friend, and don't try to tell me.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Why should I take it easy? Bust? And that oh
you said you haven't got a match?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
You should shoot?
Speaker 7 (10:11):
Yeah, and friends, you stay away from tips and packy
flynt with horses. You wind up in a barrel with Packy.
The barrel is full of concrete.
Speaker 2 (10:23):

Speaker 3 (10:24):
You've killed me.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
Huh oh oh, yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
See you see you.
Speaker 8 (10:33):
Later when I've been pounding the pavements, George and footloads
hush over eyes.

Oh you have me worried, foot over ice.
Speaker 11 (10:59):
Oh here you.
Speaker 2 (11:00):

Speaker 4 (11:15):
Just watch me. I'm hoping to see a friendly face
of the bar. First lady of the city. Isn't supposed
to be seen drinking alone?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
At your service, and as patriotic as the next.
Speaker 8 (11:27):
Gibson, please, George, coming right up, Missus Dowers, you.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Look tired, mister temple.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Mm I've been trying to run down the home of
a book of matches.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Well it's to his own taste.
Speaker 8 (11:40):
May I see that sid here eats your nets and
grows thin? Any success growing thin looking but no success?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
H sufficiently cryptic? My errand is much more simple.
Speaker 11 (11:57):
Russell is upstairs addressing the Young Republican Club, and I'm
a fugitive.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
When I look out into the sea of shining faces,
I know that the future of America is a shold
pretty much like that.
Speaker 11 (12:11):
Russell is nice, he's gentle, honest.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Juan Gibson for the lady.
Speaker 8 (12:17):
I thank you, George and dull Well, each to his
own taste.
Speaker 11 (12:24):
I'll take a night thought, mister Templar. I'm not going
to tell you the story of my life, not on
one drink.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Have another. I'm a student of human nature.
Speaker 11 (12:33):
I mean, try this one emphasise. How does a girl
marry at eighteen to a boy twenty who's got just
as much money and just as little aim in life
as she has, divorcing at twenty one, and then at
twenty four marry a man twice her age.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Mm.
Speaker 8 (12:47):
First she marries to get away from her family. Then
she marries a man old enough to be her father
to return to her family. Figuratively that is, should have.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Met two years ago, but to save ten thousand dollars
in fee for an animal.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I'm a thin merry word prudence about bills?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Did Russell once you inspire me as that is?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
No? But that's part of your life. You didn't tell me.
Speaker 11 (13:15):
It doesn't mean anything, never will. But if anything's happened
to go up, did you give me a cigarette?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Of course? Oh, here's a light at George. Huh uh
where'd you get those matches? Are these? I don't know?
Speaker 8 (13:32):
Oh yeah, I think it a little greasy spoon I
eat in the fourth and Alm.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
That's called Ma's lunchbucket.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Why you collect match covers, mister Templan.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
It's a business, George, Prudence. I've got to go see Ma.
Have a drink on me, have a goal.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Of bean soup for me. Simon, do you always get hungry?
This sudden on me?
Speaker 8 (13:49):

Speaker 2 (14:15):

Speaker 12 (14:17):
Anybody who eats here and he can affords you somewhere else,
it's crazy. Anybody who reads here's crazy. I know I
do the.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Cooking, Thank you, Dunc and Hyde. I just want to
know if you give out this kind of matches.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
I'm sure I do. It's not don't they do?
Speaker 8 (14:37):
You happen to know a not too bright gentleman would
have pushed in face answering to the name of Buster.
Speaker 12 (14:42):
You sure do lives in the building across the street
or sea comes in here a couple of times a
day for.

who had left him.
Speaker 8 (14:55):

of god of and.
Speaker 4 (15:00):

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Oh well yeah, yeah, well yeah yeah, oh oh it's you?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Well baby, I was just passing by Buster and I
thought i'd dropped in, and.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Did you put out at the door. I don't want
to get wrong.
Speaker 8 (15:24):
I got confirmation on that clip I mentioned Buster.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Yeah, Uh, how'd you find me back?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
He told me?
Speaker 7 (15:33):
Maybe I mean me, But don't get putchy. I got
a cure for that.
Speaker 8 (15:38):

boat race?

The knife is just about off.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Well, mm you sure? And the phone with you?

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Dollyeah? We bet get out of here if you can
make it. Yes, I can't.
Speaker 8 (16:48):
Alright, that's all right. It's helped me a little to
take you over to your father's place. No, it's the templar.
I got my own apartment.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
I want to get a good night's rest before my
father sees me get all upset, you say, so, Bill, Hey,

Speaker 3 (17:02):

No, I like to call him.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
As soon as I get home. Let's go on. You're
sure you'll be already to a place to sure I'll.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Be perfectly safe. Besides, I got it down.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
There so long.
Speaker 13 (17:22):
But I still thanks for the hospitality.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Oh, templar, come in. The mayor's been expecting you.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
The templar, Good lord? Any luck at breakfast yet? Sit
down or something with meet? Then I'm going out to
the polls and full faintly? What time did the photographers do?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Mayor Towers? What did you mean any luck work? Bill,
of course didn't he call you last night, Bill, he'll
call me. There wasn't any call here at all, friendly,
nothing at all, said, they have been.
Speaker 8 (17:57):
I found Bill late yesterday afternoon. Well, I took him
to his apartment. He said he'd call you.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Why.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
I think we'd better get over there, Philly. You stay
here and handle him. What the photographers, mister photographers, Well,
well they can wait once they can wait.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Come on, Simon Temper, I'll never forgive myself of entities.
I mean a Bill. Oh, it's probably nothing.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
He was pretty well knocked out from dope and maybe
just fell into bed.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
And it's still sleepy. That's it. That must be it.
He's still sleeping. Wow, here we are, Bill, Templar. Do
you think that? Let's drive the door?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
It's Bill, Bill It?
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Where's his bedroom in here? I think I have been
here so seldom. Well, there he is, Bill. They'll wake
up him. Even as a kid.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
You couldn't get him up to wait a minute? Drive
Bill with his own gun? Why, Temple, Why, I don't know.
I'm not even should he did? Said, but the gun there,
miss Land.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
That can't come away.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
As politicians shouldn't have children, second that they shouldn't you
you never get to know them. You make appointments to
see them following Thursday, and then one day they've grown up.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
They're strangers.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
As the Bill would have made a great politician if
he wanted. He had the makings more. I remember his
great school graduation. Oh it was fine, colonious advice to
the as.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Either a power nor a lender.
Speaker 8 (19:58):
B as it going findly, we have the latest returns
from two hundred and thirty three out of five hundred.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
And ninety four precincts for Mayor Wickersham two hundred thousand,
three hundred fourteen towers three hundred twenty four.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
Congratulations on a winning campaigns but we expected it, did you?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Mayor coming down? Well, you can understand how he feels.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
But he's neverstn election night at campaign headquarters yet I
imagine he'll be here.
Speaker 10 (20:42):
Wow, mister temporary from the Clean Government League, he's for
the election, mister templary.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
Hello, Packy, as your head busted the horse lust, I
looked it up this smooth. I took advantage of you.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
What are you here for, Packy inm to celebrate?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
What else?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
In spite of acting with you're saying?
Speaker 10 (21:01):
I backed both candidates that's the safest way.
Speaker 8 (21:04):
But I backed Towers with more money. Interesting, that's not
what you told me, Finley, I didn't.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Well, what Packy Flynn does with his money is his
own business. He doesn't always consult me before he does it.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
I see, well, good eaving gentlemen, templar Packy Veusser.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Congratulations mister mayor. It's a landslide.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Oh well, it's always a good feeling to receive a
mandate from the electorate, for in the long run, it
is the people who will affirm on and I the
truth of the principles that I is.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Well, some of the time you heard about Bill Packy.
Papers haven't cared it yet, but I heard tough like you.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
I asked the papers to cooperate until after the election
time enough Lynn to look into the boys' motives for
doing what he did. Finley, have you found prudence yet?
You know, mister Mayer, have you seen her?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
I haven't now as well, she'll she'll be long, she
she'll be long.
Speaker 8 (21:55):
Was there anything you want to temper and just to
be in on the celebration with the rest of the family.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Oh, certainly, Sidney. Do we have a bottle of Finley?
I don't feel much like it. Prudence, my dear, where
have you been? I wanted you to be with me today.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I needed you?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Is honor? The mayor sh it down, my dear.
Speaker 11 (22:13):
No, I'd rather stand victory celebration. Another glorious mandate from
the people. Give them the grand choice between two thieves.
They chose the one with the most experienced Prudence.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I think you'd better leave Temper, will you. I don't
think so.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
I think it's fair that the people have at least
one representative presence, Temper.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
You may not be quite as stupid as I thought,
or as they thought. As they thought. I was Dutans
who has been talking to you Bill last night?
Speaker 11 (22:43):
He called me and I went to his apartment, and
that's the first time off. That's what you're thinking, mister Mayor.
Speaker 10 (22:48):
Get out of here, Finley, let her talk. Thank you, Son,
I'm interested in myself.
Speaker 11 (22:52):
Thank you too, Patty. You know why you were brought
in on this lovely affair. Son.
Speaker 8 (22:57):
I'm putting two and two together ostensibly to find Bill,
who was kidnapped by you packy.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
That's interesting, isn't it, rister man.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
But he wasn't held as a hostage for your silence,
mister man. He was held until after the election because
he had found out things about his father and Packy Flynn,
his fine, honorable father.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
He was threatening to go to the voters with it,
But it was just until after the election.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
After then I could have persuaded him. He wouldn't have
said anything. Then I could have reasoned with it.
Speaker 8 (23:26):
Little parental restraints until then, and if he talked later on,
I was your protection.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Flynn was the villain, and I was looking for Bill.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
On your behalf. Only I wasn't supposed to find him.
Or maybe if Bill talked too much, you would have
tried to throw Flynn to the wolves using me as evidence. No, no, no, no, Packy.
That wasn't it saying only I found Bill. That's a
disrupted thing.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
You've got to.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
Stand temple that when you're in politics, you've got to
make deals.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
You know that why everybody makes steals at it. It's
just business. Sure, I understand, But Bill didn't know, didn't.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
He never would.
Speaker 11 (24:02):
He taught the poor, dumb, long suffering voters to pay
the bills should have more for their money than the
choice between two thieves, and he was going to see
that they got it.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Prudence. We can talk later about why Bill, why he
did what he did.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Why he killed himself.
Speaker 11 (24:16):
Do you think he killed himself Simon, No, Templar, he didn't.
When I talked to him last night, he was alive.
He knew what he had to do, and he wanted
to live.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Well, who not mean not Packy Flynn. Good people. I
stopped them.
Speaker 10 (24:31):
I was with dollar bills much cheaper in the long run,
and just as sure that you couldn't stop bills.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Now Packy Joe. But then he wasn't a politician. Best.
I trust you have a good alibi for last night.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Well, give me time and I can give one.
Speaker 8 (24:46):
Yeah, I think you'll need it. Bill wouldn't have let
you into his apartment. He was killed by someone he knew.
It was a good act you put on this morning
there which you knew last night that I found Bill?
What pack He would have called you right away?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Oh, students, you don't leave them.
Speaker 8 (25:03):
You can't know, not you mister Mayor. You sent someone
to reason with Bill. You're hatchet man. Jane chase In.
You're very careful what you're saying. Temper, I try to
be finley. Your reasoning didn't work. Bill probably ordered you
out with his gun. There was a fight, and you
shot him, then rigged it to look like suicide.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
It's your word against mine and the mayor's.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
Finley's right to Your accusations are not only in bad taste,
they're also you.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
You your honor than mayor. You killed him.
Speaker 11 (25:34):
Maybe Sindley pulled the trigger, but it was you who
killed him. Killed him with the years of neglect, of hypocrisy,
of building up an idol of the people, and then
when he found out, you delivered him into.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
The hands of thugs.
Speaker 11 (25:45):
You stood aside in the Thinley murder him, and now
you're backing Finley Sener's son.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
You did Pruden's pecies.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Maybe it was ill advisively not to turn the Finley
over to the police immediately, but.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Tows, you're throwing me to the wolves.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Well, after all, while I don't doubt that it was
or might have been unintentional on.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Your part, why you sure very well done, Buster.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
This will all come out. It's really a matter of
adjusting ourselves. This I never explained about politics before because
I didn't think it was necessary.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Maybe if we go away for a while.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
Week prudents looked ours, I'll talk to you later later later.
Speaker 10 (26:31):
Looks like we better hand up a fresh mayor for ourselves.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Buster.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
Yeah, you're pretty sure you can buy up another one in.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
The open market. Huh.
Speaker 10 (26:40):
Acting There are a lot more weathers than came from saying,
and the money is right in my hip podcast.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
How about the voting? The voting? Who were they?
Speaker 8 (26:51):
Voters are people, and the people eventually catch up with
you hacking.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
They take them a while, but they will they always do.
Speaker 1 (27:14):

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Hello, this is long distance.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
I have a call from mister Simon Templar.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
This is E one moment.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Please Hello, Can I have you a party on the line?
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Hold on please, mister Templar. Mayor Towers is calling. Hello, Templar,
how are you, mister Mayor? How's your campaign coming?
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Templar?
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Could you get up here to my home right away?
Speaker 6 (01:17):
I know it's asking a lot, but this is urgent, most.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Urgent, certainly. What's it all about?
Speaker 6 (01:22):
Well, I don't like to say too much over the phone, Templar,
but something has come up which could very well cost
me my office. Use that's nothing, but it might cost
me the life of my son Bill.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I'll take the first brain I can get.
Speaker 6 (01:35):
Well, Thank you, my boy, thank you, and Templar, say
nothing to anyone.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Nothing, Yes, Mayor Towers sent for me. Simon Temple. Oh,
come in, Templer, come in. Thank you. Good of you
(02:00):
to come so promptly. We appreciate it. I'm J.
Speaker 7 (02:03):
Chase Finley, the Mayor's confidential secretary. Will you come right
this way?
Speaker 8 (02:06):
Oh, thank you. It's a very imposing home. I hadn't
been here before.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
We like it in here, please, Simon Templar, mister Mayor.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Templar, good to see you again, Simon, much too long much?
How I well, thanks, mister mayor, mister Mayor. Listen to him, Russ.
You weren't calling me, mister mayor that night up at
the Plaza Hotel. When Simon, my wife, my dear, this
is Simon Templar, old old Pray.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
Currently, Simon my wife, Prudence, how do you do? Married?
Speaker 5 (02:40):
Five years now since you and I last saw each other. Templar,
Sit down, Sit down, my dear.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Business.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
I'm getting worried, Russell.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
I told you, my dear, there's nothing to worry about.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
I can't help it.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
I sometimes wonder, Prudence, if you would be as worried
about me if I stayed away a few days, you wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Stay away a few days.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Good night, mister Templer, Good night, missus Towner, good night, missus.
Speaker 8 (03:04):
Tower City has a very beautiful first lady, mister.
Speaker 5 (03:12):
As you see, Templar, I haven't told her about Bill
and a favorite.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Her re action would be, well, the.
Speaker 7 (03:19):
Reason we sent for your, Templar is that the mayor's
son is being held a prisoner, you might say, a
political prisoner.
Speaker 5 (03:25):
By whom Packy Flynn, all those who worked for him.
I didn't know Flynn was that crude? What's his angle?
It's not crude at all, Templar.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
As you know, the mayor has been forced into this
special election by false charges of graft and tie ins
with gangsters. Flynn's candidate, Wickersham, has made this the main
theme of his campaign, and he's making serious inroads.
Speaker 5 (03:45):
And I haven't been able to reply because they're holding Bill.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
It's horrible. Bill is the price of silence.
Speaker 7 (03:51):
Exactly if we reply to the opposition's charges by showing
his link with Packy Flynn, the head of organized crime
in the city.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
But Bill might be well.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
When I think of that hypocrit Wicksham accusing me of
corruption when all the time he is in the camp
of corruption, seeking to lay his avarice's hands on the
public trusty whose funds most inevitably. My friends come from
the pockets, are simple, honest, working folk, like those of
you who tonight.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Well, let's neither here nor there. How long is it, Bill,
being gone four days and the election is only two
days off? Have you reported this to the police?
Speaker 5 (04:24):
Unfortunately, Templar, it has lately come to my attention that
my own police force is not entirely trustworthy. Corrupting hand
of Patty Flynn has touched that. Also after the election,
I fully intend well, providing that I am re elected
of cause.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
Also, our Templar, A clumsy handling of this thing might
be extremely dangerous.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
For the exactly.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
I am prepared to pay the price of silence about
Flynn Wickersham if necessary.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
But the boy is the important thing.
Speaker 8 (04:51):
How does Flynn figure I'm getting away with this? What
happens after the election. He's gambling that I won't be
elected With Wickersham in power. Many charges we might make
would have little change of success.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I get the idea, and you want me to find Bill.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
It's constant. I should be everlasting, the great. My gratitude
is another thing to be taken likely, simon.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I'll do my best.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
How old is Bill? Now?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
I think it's been years since that's twenty four.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Find a templar when organized gangsterism max is so bold.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
This is not the America I know and love.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
And this is not the America that those hardy pilgrims
landing on that rocky spray swept coast so many years
ago envisioned in shining imagery.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
As well, let's let's neither here nor there find my
boy templar. I'll do my best. Ins comm.
Speaker 9 (05:52):
Rockets you brought along company, mister Blinn. Mister Glynn is
not in. No, I don't expect him.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Thank you, good morning.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
What can I do for you?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I wanted to see mister Flynn.
Speaker 8 (06:02):
Mister Flynn is not in.
Speaker 9 (06:04):
Didn't you just hear any say?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Sir, I never eat straw?
Speaker 10 (06:06):
Try it.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
You're missing half your life.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Believe me, you believe in living vicariously?
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Say you being fresh?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Because if you not feed it, I'll do my best. Eloise, Luise,
that's my favorite.
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Name, Well it's not mine.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
How soon will mister Flynn be in Ellouise? Never?
Speaker 5 (06:24):
That is, even when he's in, he's out.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
And how could we arrange it so that he is
in dinner tonight? Perhaps dancing? Yeah? Maybe we could.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
No, let's not plan on it.
Speaker 9 (06:35):
I feel bad when you didn't show up, and you'd
have me on your conscience when you didn't show up,
So why don't you just go right on in?
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Mister Flynn is the.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
First door to the right eloise. You are destined for greatness.
Speaker 9 (06:45):
I'm justined to marry a guy who wears eleven neck
tie and drives a motorcycle.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Don't tell, mister Flynn, I'll let you in.
Speaker 8 (06:51):
I wouldn't think of it, mister Flynn will my name
is Templar, and mister.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
F in Simon Templar, I'm from the Clean.
Speaker 8 (07:02):
Government League and I'm interested in getting your analysis at
the present.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Campaign and unbelieve it. How about if I applied for
a loan.
Speaker 10 (07:11):
We don't give loans here except the policemen and politicians.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
You don't look like either. You're very frank packing. Sure
I pay.
Speaker 10 (07:18):
Enough to hire politicians. They supply all the hypocrisy that's needed.
Why don't you be justice frank with me, Templar?
Speaker 8 (07:25):
What if I said I just wanted to have a
look at the famous Packy Flinn.
Speaker 10 (07:28):
I wouldn't believe it, but not accept it. You aren't
from Jay Edgar. You aren't from the treasury, so you
can be anything else.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
You want to be.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
How about the elections.
Speaker 10 (07:37):
Right after it's all over, I'll still be doing business.
It's a word to remember. Business. That's what politics is,
That's what gambling is.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Business.
Speaker 10 (07:48):
We're all in business to get We may fight a
little bit in public, but after it's over, we meet
back at the barn and divide up the loop.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
In other words, you are not where.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
That's why I like a keen mind.
Speaker 8 (08:03):
I'll let one of the boys show you, and I
think my keen mind and I can find a way.
We'll make sure I don't encourage nomads in my place
of business.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Gotch you, Buster, what are you doing here?
Speaker 3 (08:17):
I just come down to better horse packings.
Speaker 10 (08:20):
I wanted you there, So go home and stay there.
But first show our friend out.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
Shall I show him out? Hurt or so soft but thorough?
Let's go frun goodbye packing.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I'll give you a message to the clean government.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Please do that.
Speaker 10 (08:36):
Always interested in clean government, but I don't think it'll
ever be popular.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Well let's just say it will never replace baseball? Do
you Buster?
Speaker 9 (08:47):
How can any message satch you?
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Goodbye?
Speaker 9 (08:50):
Hllerwy oh cleaving so suit.
Speaker 8 (08:52):
I'd love to stay, but Buster insists we beat him runs.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I'll let this guy in anyway.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
You're so fired me.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Come over here to the elevator.
Speaker 8 (09:10):
Yeah, you're interested in horses, bust. I got some information
this morning and something that day matter I.
Speaker 7 (09:22):
Never but got my own system mathematical. You can't have
three horses from the bottom. Divide the speed rating by
the number of winners. The jackass for the meeting a
copy four and then you you're well, I gotta have
paper in principle.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
This might be the one to get even on. Yeah, well,
I know, I know, I never bet. Oh yeah, but
this is straight from the owner.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
Yeah yeah, uh what I'm waiting to hear this afternoon.
They only won't release it unless he's sure. But if
you give me your address, no, no, no, not a
lot of bust. I don't even give back to my wife.
So long, friend, and don't try to tell me.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Why should I take it easy? Bust? And that oh
you said you haven't got a match?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
You should shoot?
Speaker 7 (10:11):
Yeah, and friends, you stay away from tips and packy
flynt with horses. You wind up in a barrel with Packy.
The barrel is full of concrete.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Buster.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
You've killed me.
Speaker 7 (10:25):
Huh oh oh, yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
See you see you.
Speaker 8 (10:33):
Later when I've been pounding the pavements, George and footloads
hush over eyes.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Oh you have me worried, foot over ice.
Speaker 11 (10:59):
Oh here you.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Are, thank you. M uh and now some for the left.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
But George's okay, mister Templar, isn't.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
It, Missus Towers?
Speaker 8 (11:14):
What you join me?
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Just watch me. I'm hoping to see a friendly face
of the bar. First lady of the city. Isn't supposed
to be seen drinking alone?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
At your service, and as patriotic as the next.
Speaker 8 (11:27):
Gibson, please, George, coming right up, Missus Dowers, you.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Look tired, mister temple.
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Mm I've been trying to run down the home of
a book of matches.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Well it's to his own taste.
Speaker 8 (11:40):
May I see that sid here eats your nets and
grows thin? Any success growing thin looking but no success?
Speaker 4 (11:52):
H sufficiently cryptic? My errand is much more simple.
Speaker 11 (11:57):
Russell is upstairs addressing the Young Republican Club, and I'm
a fugitive.
Speaker 8 (12:01):
When I look out into the sea of shining faces,
I know that the future of America is a shold
pretty much like that.
Speaker 11 (12:11):
Russell is nice, he's gentle, honest.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Juan Gibson for the lady.
Speaker 8 (12:17):
I thank you, George and dull Well, each to his
own taste.
Speaker 11 (12:24):
I'll take a night thought, mister Templar. I'm not going
to tell you the story of my life, not on
one drink.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Have another. I'm a student of human nature.
Speaker 11 (12:33):
I mean, try this one emphasise. How does a girl
marry at eighteen to a boy twenty who's got just
as much money and just as little aim in life
as she has, divorcing at twenty one, and then at
twenty four marry a man twice her age.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Mm.
Speaker 8 (12:47):
First she marries to get away from her family. Then
she marries a man old enough to be her father
to return to her family. Figuratively that is, should have.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Met two years ago, but to save ten thousand dollars
in fee for an animal.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I'm a thin merry word prudence about bills?
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Did Russell once you inspire me as that is?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
No? But that's part of your life. You didn't tell me.
Speaker 11 (13:15):
It doesn't mean anything, never will. But if anything's happened
to go up, did you give me a cigarette?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Of course? Oh, here's a light at George. Huh uh
where'd you get those matches? Are these? I don't know?
Speaker 8 (13:32):
Oh yeah, I think it a little greasy spoon I
eat in the fourth and Alm.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
That's called Ma's lunchbucket.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Why you collect match covers, mister Templan.
Speaker 8 (13:40):
It's a business, George, Prudence. I've got to go see Ma.
Have a drink on me, have a goal.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Of bean soup for me. Simon, do you always get hungry?
This sudden on me?
Speaker 8 (13:49):
See I got into politics. You never know what meal
is going to be your last?
Speaker 2 (13:54):
See you at the polls, Prudence, Uh.
Speaker 12 (14:07):
My, hold the phone, phone, Well, what do you want?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
I'd like to know if you don't want easier.
Speaker 12 (14:17):
Anybody who eats here and he can affords you somewhere else,
it's crazy. Anybody who reads here's crazy. I know I
do the.
Speaker 8 (14:26):
Cooking, Thank you, Dunc and Hyde. I just want to
know if you give out this kind of matches.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
I'm sure I do. It's not don't they do?
Speaker 8 (14:37):
You happen to know a not too bright gentleman would
have pushed in face answering to the name of Buster.
Speaker 12 (14:42):
You sure do lives in the building across the street
or sea comes in here a couple of times a
day for.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Food to take out.
Speaker 12 (14:50):
I suspect him of feeding a woman except on my food,
who had left him.
Speaker 8 (14:55):
Ma, please except my undying gratitude and an autographic picture
of god of and.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Hamilton, Oh my favorite president.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Who is it?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Oh well yeah, yeah, well yeah yeah, oh oh it's you?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Well baby, I was just passing by Buster and I
thought i'd dropped in, and.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Did you put out at the door. I don't want
to get wrong.
Speaker 8 (15:24):
I got confirmation on that clip I mentioned Buster.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Yeah, Uh, how'd you find me back?
Speaker 2 (15:31):
He told me?
Speaker 7 (15:33):
Maybe I mean me, But don't get putchy. I got
a cure for that.
Speaker 8 (15:38):
They will point the cure somewhere else. Busting blue Girl
in the night that bang. Uh you sure it's a
boat race?
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Buster?
Speaker 2 (15:47):
That jacks are all carrying oars instead of whips.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yeah, then cooked jacks.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
They cost me plenty, even with my shih the Harry Buster.
The knife is just about off.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Well, mm you sure? And the phone with you?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Sure? I hated you do it, but but I think
it was a bum tip.
Speaker 8 (16:08):
Anyway, Hey Bill, Bill, are you in there?
Speaker 3 (16:16):
Bill?
Speaker 8 (16:22):
Bill, don't hold it wasn't I take out the gag.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
There, Thanks Simon, templar. Hey, you've got a good memory.
All right, pluggy and open my food?
Speaker 2 (16:39):
Keep me quiet?
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Who sent you?
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Soon?
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Your father?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
Dollyeah? We bet get out of here if you can
make it. Yes, I can't.
Speaker 8 (16:48):
Alright, that's all right. It's helped me a little to
take you over to your father's place. No, it's the templar.
I got my own apartment.
Speaker 7 (16:55):
I want to get a good night's rest before my
father sees me get all upset, you say, so, Bill, Hey,
what day is it?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Election is nowhere?
Speaker 2 (17:03):
In now? The elections tomorrow? It's good. You want me
to phone your father?
Speaker 3 (17:07):
No, I like to call him.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
As soon as I get home. Let's go on. You're
sure you'll be already to a place to sure I'll.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Be perfectly safe. Besides, I got it down.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
There so long.
Speaker 13 (17:22):
But I still thanks for the hospitality.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Oh, templar, come in. The mayor's been expecting you.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
The templar, Good lord? Any luck at breakfast yet? Sit
down or something with meet? Then I'm going out to
the polls and full faintly? What time did the photographers do?
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Mayor Towers? What did you mean any luck work? Bill,
of course didn't he call you last night, Bill, he'll
call me. There wasn't any call here at all, friendly,
nothing at all, said, they have been.
Speaker 8 (17:57):
I found Bill late yesterday afternoon. Well, I took him
to his apartment. He said he'd call you.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Why.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
I think we'd better get over there, Philly. You stay
here and handle him. What the photographers, mister photographers, Well,
well they can wait once they can wait.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Come on, Simon Temper, I'll never forgive myself of entities.
I mean a Bill. Oh, it's probably nothing.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
He was pretty well knocked out from dope and maybe
just fell into bed.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
And it's still sleepy. That's it. That must be it.
He's still sleeping. Wow, here we are, Bill, Templar. Do
you think that? Let's drive the door?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
It's Bill, Bill It?
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Where's his bedroom in here? I think I have been
here so seldom. Well, there he is, Bill. They'll wake
up him. Even as a kid.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
You couldn't get him up to wait a minute? Drive
Bill with his own gun? Why, Temple, Why, I don't know.
I'm not even should he did? Said, but the gun there,
miss Land.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
That can't come away.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
As politicians shouldn't have children, second that they shouldn't you
you never get to know them. You make appointments to
see them following Thursday, and then one day they've grown up.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
They're strangers.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
As the Bill would have made a great politician if
he wanted. He had the makings more. I remember his
great school graduation. Oh it was fine, colonious advice to
the as.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Either a power nor a lender.
Speaker 8 (19:58):
B as it going findly, we have the latest returns
from two hundred and thirty three out of five hundred.
Speaker 7 (20:20):
And ninety four precincts for Mayor Wickersham two hundred thousand,
three hundred fourteen towers three hundred twenty four.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
Congratulations on a winning campaigns but we expected it, did you?
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Mayor coming down? Well, you can understand how he feels.
Speaker 7 (20:37):
But he's neverstn election night at campaign headquarters yet I
imagine he'll be here.
Speaker 10 (20:42):
Wow, mister temporary from the Clean Government League, he's for
the election, mister templary.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
Hello, Packy, as your head busted the horse lust, I
looked it up this smooth. I took advantage of you.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
What are you here for, Packy inm to celebrate?
Speaker 3 (20:58):
What else?
Speaker 2 (20:59):
In spite of acting with you're saying?
Speaker 10 (21:01):
I backed both candidates that's the safest way.
Speaker 8 (21:04):
But I backed Towers with more money. Interesting, that's not
what you told me, Finley, I didn't.
Speaker 7 (21:10):
Well, what Packy Flynn does with his money is his
own business. He doesn't always consult me before he does it.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
I see, well, good eaving gentlemen, templar Packy Veusser.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Congratulations mister mayor. It's a landslide.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
Oh well, it's always a good feeling to receive a
mandate from the electorate, for in the long run, it
is the people who will affirm on and I the
truth of the principles that I is.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Well, some of the time you heard about Bill Packy.
Papers haven't cared it yet, but I heard tough like you.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
I asked the papers to cooperate until after the election
time enough Lynn to look into the boys' motives for
doing what he did. Finley, have you found prudence yet?
You know, mister Mayer, have you seen her?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
I haven't now as well, she'll she'll be long, she
she'll be long.
Speaker 8 (21:55):
Was there anything you want to temper and just to
be in on the celebration with the rest of the family.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Oh, certainly, Sidney. Do we have a bottle of Finley?
I don't feel much like it. Prudence, my dear, where
have you been? I wanted you to be with me today.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
I needed you?
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Is honor? The mayor sh it down, my dear.
Speaker 11 (22:13):
No, I'd rather stand victory celebration. Another glorious mandate from
the people. Give them the grand choice between two thieves.
They chose the one with the most experienced Prudence.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I think you'd better leave Temper, will you. I don't
think so.
Speaker 8 (22:29):
I think it's fair that the people have at least
one representative presence, Temper.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
You may not be quite as stupid as I thought,
or as they thought. As they thought. I was Dutans
who has been talking to you Bill last night?
Speaker 11 (22:43):
He called me and I went to his apartment, and
that's the first time off. That's what you're thinking, mister Mayor.
Speaker 10 (22:48):
Get out of here, Finley, let her talk. Thank you, Son,
I'm interested in myself.
Speaker 11 (22:52):
Thank you too, Patty. You know why you were brought
in on this lovely affair. Son.
Speaker 8 (22:57):
I'm putting two and two together ostensibly to find Bill,
who was kidnapped by you packy.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
That's interesting, isn't it, rister man.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
But he wasn't held as a hostage for your silence,
mister man. He was held until after the election because
he had found out things about his father and Packy Flynn,
his fine, honorable father.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
He was threatening to go to the voters with it,
But it was just until after the election.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
After then I could have persuaded him. He wouldn't have
said anything. Then I could have reasoned with it.
Speaker 8 (23:26):
Little parental restraints until then, and if he talked later on,
I was your protection.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
Flynn was the villain, and I was looking for Bill.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
On your behalf. Only I wasn't supposed to find him.
Or maybe if Bill talked too much, you would have
tried to throw Flynn to the wolves using me as evidence. No, no, no, no, Packy.
That wasn't it saying only I found Bill. That's a
disrupted thing.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
You've got to.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
Stand temple that when you're in politics, you've got to
make deals.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
You know that why everybody makes steals at it. It's
just business. Sure, I understand, But Bill didn't know, didn't.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
He never would.
Speaker 11 (24:02):
He taught the poor, dumb, long suffering voters to pay
the bills should have more for their money than the
choice between two thieves, and he was going to see
that they got it.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Prudence. We can talk later about why Bill, why he
did what he did.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Why he killed himself.
Speaker 11 (24:16):
Do you think he killed himself Simon, No, Templar, he didn't.
When I talked to him last night, he was alive.
He knew what he had to do, and he wanted
to live.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Well, who not mean not Packy Flynn. Good people. I
stopped them.
Speaker 10 (24:31):
I was with dollar bills much cheaper in the long run,
and just as sure that you couldn't stop bills.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Now Packy Joe. But then he wasn't a politician. Best.
I trust you have a good alibi for last night.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Well, give me time and I can give one.
Speaker 8 (24:46):
Yeah, I think you'll need it. Bill wouldn't have let
you into his apartment. He was killed by someone he knew.
It was a good act you put on this morning
there which you knew last night that I found Bill?
What pack He would have called you right away?
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Oh, students, you don't leave them.
Speaker 8 (25:03):
You can't know, not you mister Mayor. You sent someone
to reason with Bill. You're hatchet man. Jane chase In.
You're very careful what you're saying. Temper, I try to
be finley. Your reasoning didn't work. Bill probably ordered you
out with his gun. There was a fight, and you
shot him, then rigged it to look like suicide.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
It's your word against mine and the mayor's.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
Finley's right to Your accusations are not only in bad taste,
they're also you.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
You your honor than mayor. You killed him.
Speaker 11 (25:34):
Maybe Sindley pulled the trigger, but it was you who
killed him. Killed him with the years of neglect, of hypocrisy,
of building up an idol of the people, and then
when he found out, you delivered him into.
Speaker 4 (25:44):
The hands of thugs.
Speaker 11 (25:45):
You stood aside in the Thinley murder him, and now
you're backing Finley Sener's son.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
You did Pruden's pecies.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Maybe it was ill advisively not to turn the Finley
over to the police immediately, but.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Tows, you're throwing me to the wolves.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Well, after all, while I don't doubt that it was
or might have been unintentional on.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Your part, why you sure very well done, Buster.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
This will all come out. It's really a matter of
adjusting ourselves. This I never explained about politics before because
I didn't think it was necessary.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Maybe if we go away for a while.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
Week prudents looked ours, I'll talk to you later later later.
Speaker 10 (26:31):
Looks like we better hand up a fresh mayor for ourselves.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Buster.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
Yeah, you're pretty sure you can buy up another one in.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
The open market. Huh.
Speaker 10 (26:40):
Acting There are a lot more weathers than came from saying,
and the money is right in my hip podcast.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
How about the voting? The voting? Who were they?
Speaker 8 (26:51):
Voters are people, and the people eventually catch up with
you hacking.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
They take them a while, but they will they always do.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
