WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:07.000 Auto Light and its 96,000 dealers present Suspense. 00:09.000 --> 00:18.000 Tonight, Auto Light brings you Love, Honor or Murder, a suspense play produced and edited by William Spear and starring Kathy and Elliot Lewis. 00:23.000 --> 00:28.000 Hello Alice. Yeah, this is Helen. Look kid, I'm not going to be able to go to the dance after all. 00:28.000 --> 00:36.000 Well, Harry works the late shift with that taxi of his, so I've got to stay home and look at the four walls again. 00:37.000 --> 00:41.000 I'm so fed up sometimes I feel like leaving this house and Harry and the whole works. 00:42.000 --> 00:45.000 Believe me, the only reason I haven't is because I need the money to do it. 00:47.000 --> 00:52.000 Seven years of wedded bliss. All I can show for it is this stinking place. 00:52.000 --> 00:57.000 If I ever get my hands on a thousand bucks I'd get out of here so fast I'd make it. 00:58.000 --> 01:01.000 I said if I had a thousand bucks I'd kiss off Harry so fast I'd make it. 01:02.000 --> 01:08.000 Hold it a minute Alice, somebody came in. Is that you Harry? Yeah, it's me. I came home early. 01:09.000 --> 01:11.000 Well, if you expect to find dinner at this hour you're going to be disappointed. 01:12.000 --> 01:15.000 It's Harry, Alice. Honey? What was I saying? Oh yeah, the same old thing. 01:15.000 --> 01:21.000 Honey, cut the conversation. Something's happened. What? I said cut the conversation. Here, give me that phone. 01:22.000 --> 01:29.000 Alice, Helen will call you later. Goodbye. Big man. Baby, you know what I got here? Twelve thousand dollars. 01:31.000 --> 01:38.000 Yes, in a moment Cathy and Elliot Lewis and a tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. 01:38.000 --> 01:43.000 Well, I'll spend. Wilcox, where'll you spend your summer vacation? 01:44.000 --> 01:50.000 On the open road, Hap, my hapless pedestrian, enjoying the remarkable performance of my auto light stay full battery. 01:51.000 --> 01:56.000 The battery that needs water only three times a year in normal car use. Ah, what? Sweet stay fullment. 01:57.000 --> 02:00.000 Correction Wilcox, you mean sweet fullfillment. Ah, you walked into a trap, Hap. 02:01.000 --> 02:04.000 Milad, the auto light stay full battery brings sweet stay fullment. 02:04.000 --> 02:08.000 Because it has three times as much liquid reserve as batteries without stay full features. 02:09.000 --> 02:11.000 That's why it needs water only three times a year in normal car use. 02:12.000 --> 02:18.000 A man who puns like that won't live long, Wilcox. Ah, but Hap, the auto light stay full battery lives an incredibly long life. 02:19.000 --> 02:27.000 According to tests based on SAE life cycle standards, for example, this famous battery gave 70% longer average life than batteries without stay full features. 02:28.000 --> 02:29.000 I shouldn't have started all this. 02:29.000 --> 02:36.000 Oh, and speaking of starting, my friend, the auto light stay full battery has plenty of starting stamina and dependability. 02:37.000 --> 02:43.000 So friends, see your friendly auto light battery dealer tomorrow and ask for an auto light stay full battery for your car. 02:44.000 --> 02:46.000 And remember, you're always right with auto light. 02:46.000 --> 02:58.000 And now with love, honor or murder and the performances of Cathy and Elliot Lewis, auto light hopes once again to keep you in suspense. 03:09.000 --> 03:12.000 That's what I said, baby. $12,000. 03:13.000 --> 03:14.000 Are you out of your mind, Harry? 03:14.000 --> 03:17.000 Helen, I found this wallet in my cab just a few minutes ago. 03:18.000 --> 03:18.000 Wallet? 03:19.000 --> 03:20.000 Here, look inside. Open it up. 03:22.000 --> 03:24.000 Harry, $100 bills. 03:25.000 --> 03:28.000 I have 50s and 20s and 10s. More than $12,000. 03:29.000 --> 03:31.000 $12,000. 03:32.000 --> 03:33.000 Now is it all right to come home early? 03:34.000 --> 03:37.000 Why, gee, I don't know what to say. 03:38.000 --> 03:40.000 Take it easy, baby. Don't get too excited. I got to give it back. 03:41.000 --> 03:42.000 Give it back? 03:42.000 --> 03:44.000 Well, yeah. Look at the name inside the wallet. 03:45.000 --> 03:46.000 Well, for... 03:46.000 --> 03:52.000 Belongs to a regular custom-mined, Sidney Walker, the news commentator. I take him around town every afternoon. He calls up for me personally. 03:53.000 --> 03:54.000 $12,000. 03:55.000 --> 03:57.000 Yeah, but as far as we're concerned, it's not worth 12 cents, huh? 03:58.000 --> 04:02.000 If I don't turn it into the company before Walker calls about it, they can throw me in a pen for five years. 04:03.000 --> 04:05.000 Then why did you bring it home? 04:05.000 --> 04:18.000 I don't know. I guess I shouldn't have at that. It's just that I never saw so much money before. I wasn't so far away. And I just had to bring it home and show it to you. 04:19.000 --> 04:21.000 You had to bring it home and wave it under my nose. That's like you. 04:22.000 --> 04:23.000 Oh, now, Helen. 04:23.000 --> 04:24.000 That's just like you, Harry. 04:24.000 --> 04:28.000 No, give me the money, Helen. Walker's going to remember leaving the money in my candle, call up the company. 04:29.000 --> 04:32.000 Wait a second. How long ago did you find the money? 04:32.000 --> 04:34.000 Twenty minutes ago. I came straight home. 04:35.000 --> 04:36.000 So what's the hurry? 04:36.000 --> 04:37.000 What? 04:37.000 --> 04:43.000 Nothing. As long as you're home, why don't you wash up? I'll fix you some supper. I'll make you a good supper. 04:43.000 --> 04:44.000 Well, I don't know. I ought to get back. 04:44.000 --> 04:46.000 Go on, honey. Go on. Wash up. Go ahead. 04:47.000 --> 04:52.000 Give us a chance for a little while to kind of pretend the money belongs to us. 04:52.000 --> 05:02.000 Ah, this coffee really hits the spot. Why didn't you eat, honey? 05:03.000 --> 05:05.000 Hmm? I was thinking. 05:06.000 --> 05:10.000 About the 12,000 bucks? Well, someday we'll have it too, baby. 05:11.000 --> 05:12.000 We've got it right now, Harry. 05:13.000 --> 05:15.000 Well, yeah, for about five more minutes. 05:15.000 --> 05:21.000 Well, I guess I'd better report in now. It's been almost an hour. Walker will be calling the company pretty soon. 05:22.000 --> 05:24.000 I want the money to be in the safe when he does. 05:25.000 --> 05:27.000 Uh, you giving me the wallet, Helen? 05:28.000 --> 05:30.000 How do you know Walker will call the company? 05:30.000 --> 05:34.000 We've been through all of that. He'll call because he'll remember the ride with me. We went over a bumpy stretch. 05:35.000 --> 05:37.000 Easy for his wallet to pop out then. He'll probably remember that. 05:38.000 --> 05:44.000 He could have lost it in so many other places. He may not even think of the cab ride. And if he doesn't, won't you feel like a fool? 05:44.000 --> 05:46.000 Well, it's better than cooling my heels in some jail. 05:47.000 --> 05:50.000 I know what I'd do if I were you. 05:51.000 --> 05:52.000 What? 05:53.000 --> 05:57.000 I'd take the chance that Walker wouldn't remember, that he wouldn't call. I'd keep the money. 05:58.000 --> 05:59.000 Well, Helen, stop that. 05:59.000 --> 06:05.000 That's what I'd do. But not you. You've always been afraid to take a chance. You'll always be content to be nothing. 06:05.000 --> 06:09.000 I'm sorry I ever came here with the money. Now give it back to me. I'm turning it into the company. 06:09.000 --> 06:10.000 You love me, Harry. 06:11.000 --> 06:13.000 Well, that's got nothing to do with it. 06:13.000 --> 06:17.000 No, it has everything to do with it. If you leave this house with the money, when you come back, I'll be gone. 06:18.000 --> 06:20.000 Now you're talking like a sad... 06:20.000 --> 06:21.000 I mean it. 06:22.000 --> 06:23.000 Come on, give me your wallet. 06:25.000 --> 06:31.000 Here it is, Harry. When you come back, I'll be gone. 06:32.000 --> 06:34.000 Yeah, I'll bet you will. 06:36.000 --> 06:40.000 Well, I gotta be gone. I'll see you later, honey. 06:40.000 --> 06:41.000 I'll be home later. 06:42.000 --> 06:46.000 Doesn't matter when you come home. You won't find me here. 06:47.000 --> 06:53.000 Fine. You stop talking like that. So long, Helen. 06:54.000 --> 06:57.000 It's really goodbye, Harry. I mean it. 06:58.000 --> 07:02.000 You. You. 07:02.000 --> 07:12.000 You. The first day we were married, you've been twisting me around your little finger. 07:13.000 --> 07:17.000 Only because you know how much I love you. How much I need you. 07:19.000 --> 07:22.000 I guess you'll never stop doing that, will you, Helen? 07:24.000 --> 07:25.000 Well? 07:29.000 --> 07:30.000 What do you want me to do? 07:30.000 --> 07:34.000 Nothing. Nothing. Leave everything to me. 07:48.000 --> 07:49.000 Fearless Cab Company. 07:50.000 --> 07:53.000 This is Mr. Sidney Walker's personal secretary calling. 07:54.000 --> 07:58.000 Don't tell me that Cab Mr. Walker order hasn't got there yet. I sent it out hours ago. 07:58.000 --> 08:01.000 Oh, oh, it got here all right. It's not that. 08:02.000 --> 08:06.000 We're trying to locate Mr. Walker and I just wondered if by any chance you might have heard from him. 08:07.000 --> 08:11.000 What? Oh, no. If he got his cab all right, why should he have called us? 08:12.000 --> 08:15.000 Of course you're right. Well, thank you very much. 08:16.000 --> 08:17.000 Well? 08:17.000 --> 08:18.000 He hasn't reported anything yet. 08:18.000 --> 08:21.000 That don't make sense. 12,000 bucks is a lot of money even for Walker. 08:21.000 --> 08:22.000 Give me the phone book. 08:23.000 --> 08:24.000 If we're gonna call now. 08:24.000 --> 08:27.000 Mr. Walker, of course. We gotta find out why he hasn't reported losing his wallet. 08:27.000 --> 08:28.000 Huh? 08:29.000 --> 08:31.000 Oh, look. Why don't you let me bring the money back? Maybe... 08:32.000 --> 08:34.000 Hey, maybe he'll give me a good reward. He might even give me a... 08:34.000 --> 08:36.000 You're not gonna do anything. 08:47.000 --> 08:48.000 You're gonna get us in trouble, Helen. 08:48.000 --> 08:49.000 I know what I'm doing. 08:53.000 --> 08:54.000 Hello? 08:54.000 --> 08:57.000 I'd like to speak to Mr. Walker, please. 08:57.000 --> 09:00.000 Well, he's not in right now. This is Mr. Walker's housekeeper. Could I take a message? 09:01.000 --> 09:05.000 No, no. This is a personal matter. Where could I be certain of reaching him? 09:05.000 --> 09:07.000 Nowhere until ten o'clock. 09:07.000 --> 09:08.000 Ten o'clock? 09:08.000 --> 09:11.000 Yes. That's when he does his nightly broadcast, you know. 09:11.000 --> 09:16.000 Oh, yes, of course. And what time does he reach the station? 09:16.000 --> 09:17.000 Five minutes after. 09:17.000 --> 09:20.000 Ah. You're quite sure he'll be there then. 09:20.000 --> 09:22.000 Oh, my heavens. You could stake your life on it. 09:22.000 --> 09:27.000 That's been his schedule for a good many years. Who's this talking? Are you a friend of Mr. Walker's? 09:27.000 --> 09:32.000 Oh, yes, yes. My husband and I have known Sydney for a long time. 09:32.000 --> 09:37.000 Well, as long as you're a friend, I can tell you. Mr. Walker has a busy evening ahead of him. 09:37.000 --> 09:38.000 Oh? 09:38.000 --> 09:44.000 He lost his wallet an hour or so ago. It contained a lot of money. Enough for a payment on a house he's wanted. 09:44.000 --> 09:47.000 That's too bad. I do hope he finds it. 09:47.000 --> 09:50.000 Oh, he'll find the wallet all right. He's out looking for it right now. 09:50.000 --> 09:52.000 Do you have any idea where he might have lost it? 09:52.000 --> 09:56.000 Oh, yes, he certainly has, and he's mighty disappointed it hasn't been returned. 09:56.000 --> 09:58.000 He knows who found the wallet? 09:58.000 --> 10:03.000 Not exactly. The way he told it to me, he knows who should have found it. 10:03.000 --> 10:05.000 But that is, he didn't tell me the rascal's name. 10:05.000 --> 10:06.000 I see. 10:06.000 --> 10:09.000 He's too kind and easygoing. That's what he is. 10:09.000 --> 10:11.000 He's always been that way. 10:11.000 --> 10:13.000 I'd have called the police right away. 10:13.000 --> 10:14.000 Why hasn't he? 10:14.000 --> 10:17.000 Oh, he doesn't want to cause any embarrassment or hard feelings, you know. 10:17.000 --> 10:21.000 So first he's going to look everywhere else he's been this evening. 10:21.000 --> 10:23.000 And if it still doesn't turn up? 10:23.000 --> 10:28.000 Well, he says that this fellow he suspects hasn't come by the apartment to return the money by the time he gets home. 10:28.000 --> 10:30.000 Then he'll report it all right. 10:30.000 --> 10:36.000 Oh, but my precious, here I am, gabbing away a mile a minute. I'm sure all this doesn't interest you. 10:36.000 --> 10:38.000 Oh, it does. Of course it does. 10:38.000 --> 10:44.000 Now, if we want to reach Sydney before he gets home, you say he will arrive at the radio station just before ten. 10:44.000 --> 10:47.000 At five minutes to ten, on the dot. 10:47.000 --> 10:50.000 Well, then we'll contact him there. Thank you. 10:50.000 --> 10:51.000 Harry. 10:51.000 --> 10:52.000 Yeah? 10:52.000 --> 10:55.000 That was his housekeeper. About what she said, he knows he left the wallet in your cab. 10:55.000 --> 10:56.000 See, I told you. 10:56.000 --> 11:01.000 Yeah, but he hasn't reported it yet. Mr. Walker is a very fair man. 11:01.000 --> 11:03.000 Well, I'll have time to bring it down to the company. 11:03.000 --> 11:08.000 Harry, how many times do I have to tell you we're not going to bring it down to the company? 11:08.000 --> 11:12.000 Now, come on, we've got to decide what we can do between now and midnight to keep Walker from reporting his loss. 11:12.000 --> 11:17.000 There's nothing we can do. You just said he knows he left the money in my cab. 11:17.000 --> 11:18.000 That's right. 11:18.000 --> 11:22.000 Well, then what is there to decide? What are you smiling about? 11:22.000 --> 11:25.000 Was I smiling? I was thinking of something. 11:25.000 --> 11:27.000 Of what? 11:27.000 --> 11:34.000 You know, there is really only one way in all the world to keep Walker from telling about that wallet. 11:34.000 --> 11:41.000 What are you talking about? The only way to keep Walker from telling would be to kill him. 11:41.000 --> 11:46.000 Now, now, look, we've got to decide what we're going to do, so let's stop the jokes. 11:46.000 --> 11:50.000 Do I look like I'm joking? 11:50.000 --> 11:56.000 No. No, you don't. 11:56.000 --> 12:06.000 Is that gun in the dresser drawer? Never been used? They could never trace anything to you. 12:06.000 --> 12:08.000 Oh, Helen, what are you talking about? 12:08.000 --> 12:10.000 You've got to kill him. It's simple arithmetic. 12:10.000 --> 12:14.000 But how can I? He's never done me any harm. 12:14.000 --> 12:17.000 If he lives, he'll call the police and tell them you've stolen his money. 12:17.000 --> 12:19.000 Well, that's the way I've got to return the money. 12:19.000 --> 12:21.000 If you do that, you'll lose your wife. 12:21.000 --> 12:22.000 No, but Helen, look... 12:22.000 --> 12:25.000 Listen to me. Look how simple it is. 12:25.000 --> 12:29.000 At five minutes to ten, you can be absolutely certain that he'll be entering the broadcasting studio. 12:29.000 --> 12:38.000 If you were waiting outside for him, there are so many quiet places you could take him with a gun. 12:38.000 --> 12:49.000 Yeah, but Helen, listen to me. Even if I wanted to kill him, I couldn't. I have no nerve. 12:49.000 --> 12:50.000 Oh, yes, you have. 12:50.000 --> 12:51.000 What? 12:51.000 --> 12:54.000 You see, Harry, there are some men who can kill a hundred times. 12:54.000 --> 12:56.000 It doesn't bother their appetite. They still get a good night's sleep. 12:56.000 --> 12:57.000 Yeah, but not... 12:57.000 --> 13:02.000 No, I know. No, not you. Not you, Harry. 13:02.000 --> 13:07.000 But every man, even a weakling like you, can kill once. 13:07.000 --> 13:09.000 He's got to kill to get rid of the thing that'll destroy him. 13:09.000 --> 13:10.000 Oh, Helen, please, I can't. 13:10.000 --> 13:14.000 You can. Harry, you can do it for me. 13:14.000 --> 13:18.000 Why don't you let me just bring the money back? It'd be so much better that way. 13:18.000 --> 13:22.000 Harry, what time is it? 13:22.000 --> 13:24.000 What? 13:24.000 --> 13:26.000 What time is it? 13:26.000 --> 13:29.000 It's ten after nine. 13:29.000 --> 13:32.000 You couldn't bring the money back now, even if I let you. 13:32.000 --> 13:33.000 But why? 13:33.000 --> 13:35.000 What time should you have reported in with your cab? 13:35.000 --> 13:39.000 I have passed date. What difference... 13:39.000 --> 13:42.000 Oh. 13:42.000 --> 13:44.000 So that's it. 13:44.000 --> 13:46.000 See what I mean? 13:46.000 --> 13:50.000 If Walker reports his loss now, you're in trouble no matter what you do. 13:50.000 --> 13:52.000 They'll know you were thinking of keeping the money. 13:52.000 --> 13:54.000 In their eyes, that's almost as bad as really keeping it. 13:54.000 --> 13:55.000 Yeah, but I... 13:55.000 --> 13:56.000 You know the rules of that company. 13:56.000 --> 13:58.000 You're supposed to inspect your cab after every fare. 13:58.000 --> 14:00.000 If they don't arrest you, they'll fire you. 14:00.000 --> 14:04.000 They'll blackball you. You'll never get another job. 14:04.000 --> 14:06.000 That's why you kept me here. 14:06.000 --> 14:10.000 I made supper for them. It's all around. 14:10.000 --> 14:13.000 You figured that one out too, didn't you, Helen? 14:13.000 --> 14:16.000 Yes, I figured that one out too. 14:16.000 --> 14:20.000 Walker will get to the station at five to ten. You've got 45 minutes. 14:20.000 --> 14:24.000 Start out in actors if you're on a regular run. That'll be your alibi later. 14:24.000 --> 14:27.000 Just stop at all the usual places and talk to the boys. 14:27.000 --> 14:29.000 And actors will be just another night. 14:29.000 --> 14:32.000 What about my schedule? I was supposed to be in at eight thirty. 14:32.000 --> 14:35.000 You can always tell them that business was so good you couldn't come in. 14:38.000 --> 14:41.000 Shall I get the gun, Harry? 14:43.000 --> 14:45.000 Yes. 14:53.000 --> 14:59.000 Auto Light is bringing you Kathy and Elliot Lewis in Love, Honor or Murder. 14:59.000 --> 15:04.000 Tonight's production in radio's outstanding theater of thrills, Suspense. 15:10.000 --> 15:15.000 Say, Wilcox, if you drive across the Arizona desert, take special note of the barrow cactus. 15:15.000 --> 15:17.000 What? I have. 15:17.000 --> 15:21.000 It's a desert phenomenon. Holes water like a well. 15:21.000 --> 15:28.000 Well, well. That reminds me of the Auto Light's day full battery, the battery that needs water only three times a year in normal car use. 15:28.000 --> 15:30.000 I was afraid it would. 15:30.000 --> 15:36.000 No need for fear, lad, because the Auto Light's day full battery has plenty of starting stamina and dependability. 15:36.000 --> 15:41.000 You see, this super battery has a fiberglass retaining mat protecting every positive plate. 15:41.000 --> 15:46.000 That keeps the power producing material in place and means extra long life. 15:46.000 --> 15:48.000 The little cactus lives a mighty long life too. 15:48.000 --> 15:57.000 Now pardon me, half, but SAE life cycle standard tests show that the Auto Light's day full battery gives 70 percent longer average life than batteries without day full features. 15:57.000 --> 15:59.000 Oh, there's no use talking. 15:59.000 --> 16:03.000 You're so right, half. The thing to do is see your friendly Auto Light battery dealer tomorrow. 16:03.000 --> 16:09.000 Ask for an Auto Light's day full battery, the battery that needs water only three times a year in normal car use. 16:09.000 --> 16:12.000 And remember, you're always right with Auto Light. 16:12.000 --> 16:19.000 And now Auto Light brings back to our Hollywood sound stage our stars, Kathy and Elliot Lewis. 16:19.000 --> 16:25.000 In love, honor or murder, a tale well calculated to keep you in... 16:25.000 --> 16:27.000 ...sus-pen-t! 16:32.000 --> 16:34.000 Harry? Is it you? 16:34.000 --> 16:35.000 Beg pardon? 16:35.000 --> 16:39.000 Oh, I'm sorry. I thought it was my husband. What do you want? 16:39.000 --> 16:42.000 Oh, you must be Mrs. Blake, Harry's wife, huh? 16:42.000 --> 16:43.000 Yeah, what do you want? 16:43.000 --> 16:47.000 Say, have I talked to you on the phone before? 16:47.000 --> 16:48.000 Why? 16:48.000 --> 16:50.000 Your voice sounds kind of familiar. 16:50.000 --> 16:52.000 You may have. Who is this? 16:52.000 --> 16:55.000 This is Dave Harris over at Peerless Cab Company. 16:55.000 --> 16:56.000 Peerless Cab Company? 16:56.000 --> 17:00.000 Yeah. Say, have you seen Harry in the last couple hours? 17:00.000 --> 17:02.000 No, he's out working. 17:02.000 --> 17:05.000 Well, he should have been through with his shift at 8.30. 17:05.000 --> 17:07.000 It's 25 to 10 already. That's not like Harry. 17:07.000 --> 17:10.000 25 to 10. Is something wrong? 17:10.000 --> 17:17.000 Well, I don't know. One of Harry's regular customers, Sydney Walker, called up a few minutes ago from a restaurant on the way to that broadcast he is. 17:17.000 --> 17:18.000 Yeah? 17:18.000 --> 17:22.000 He thinks he left a wallet in Harry's cab. 17:22.000 --> 17:23.000 I said he thinks he left a... 17:23.000 --> 17:25.000 I heard you. 17:25.000 --> 17:28.000 Well, there was $12,000 in the wallet, Mrs. Blake. 17:28.000 --> 17:32.000 Walker says he looked everywhere else so that he might have lost it and it hasn't turned up. 17:32.000 --> 17:37.000 He just wants me to contact Harry as soon as possible and tell him to look in the back of his cab. 17:37.000 --> 17:42.000 Well, if Harry should call, I'll tell him to get in touch with you right away. I should... 17:42.000 --> 17:43.000 What did you say before? 17:43.000 --> 17:44.000 Huh? 17:44.000 --> 17:49.000 Walker called and told all this before he started for the station? 17:49.000 --> 17:52.000 What are you talking about, Mrs. Blake? 17:52.000 --> 17:54.000 Nothing. Nothing. 18:00.000 --> 18:05.000 Walker called before he reached the station. Harry will be waiting at the station to kill him. 18:05.000 --> 18:09.000 But now Walker's already told him that maybe Harry took the wallet. 18:09.000 --> 18:14.000 Everything will point to Harry. They'll arrest him ten minutes after he's killed Walker. 18:14.000 --> 18:17.000 Harry will tell him everything. He's weak. 18:17.000 --> 18:20.000 He'll try to blame me. He'll tell him I made him do it. 18:20.000 --> 18:25.000 I gotta call him back. I gotta stop him before he kills Walker. 18:25.000 --> 18:27.000 Twenty-five to ten. 18:27.000 --> 18:31.000 Twenty minutes to reach him. I've got to reach him. 18:31.000 --> 18:36.000 Twenty minutes to reach Harry. Twenty minutes to call him back. 18:36.000 --> 18:40.000 I told Harry to make all the regular stops. Everybody will remember him. 18:40.000 --> 18:42.000 I'll let me think. 18:42.000 --> 18:45.000 He'll stop for gas at the taxi garage. 18:45.000 --> 18:48.000 Yeah, yeah, I reached him there before. His number's written down someplace. 18:48.000 --> 18:50.000 Where's that little book? 18:50.000 --> 18:53.000 I'm shaking so I can't... 18:53.000 --> 18:55.000 Here.

I haven't got the time to explain. 19:42.000 --> 19:44.000 If I don't reach him right away, I don't know what'll happen. 19:44.000 --> 19:46.000 Well, I don't know what I can do, Miss Blake. 19:46.000 --> 19:50.000 Well, you can tell me the names and the telephone numbers of some of the places that cabbies like Harry stop off at... 19:50.000 --> 19:51.000 Well, he... 19:51.000 --> 19:52.000 ...while they're on the runs? 19:52.000 --> 19:56.000 Well, sometimes the boys stop at Gus's coffee shop on Sixth Avenue for coffee. 19:56.000 --> 19:57.000 What's their number? 19:57.000 --> 19:59.000 Uh, wait a minute.

Where else? 20:05.000 --> 20:09.000 Oh, maybe if he had a few minutes to spare, he'd go into Frank's Tavern on Washington Boulevard. 20:09.000 --> 20:11.000 I don't know the phone number there. 20:11.000 --> 20:12.000 I'll look it up, I'll look it up. Where else? 20:12.000 --> 20:16.000 Of course, he might go up to Union headquarters to chew the rank with the boys. 20:16.000 --> 20:18.000 Union headquarters. Yeah, where else? 20:18.000 --> 20:22.000 Look, there's lots of places he might stop off at. 20:22.000 --> 20:25.000 You gotta reach him by ten o'clock, huh?

Can't you take side streets or something? 22:05.000 --> 22:08.000 Again, you're stuck. It's the traffic, lady. But you told me. 22:08.000 --> 22:11.000 I know what I told you, but I didn't figure out so much traffic. 22:15.000 --> 22:18.000 Please hurry. Yeah, yeah.
