Another great story, based on Federico Collins, copyrighted book, The FBI in peace and war.
Drama, thrills, action, tonight's story, The Good Boy.
The FBI in peace and war.
Hey, there's one, Danny.
Where?
Over there on the trench.
Okay, Alex, pull up.
All right, come on.
You'll be the motorrunner.
Yeah, you better.
Hey, you.
It's always time, Danny. Let's kick him off of there. Don't worry.
Hey, you'll wake up.
Come on, come on, open your eyes.
Huh?
What do you want?
Get all bombs on a lot in the pocket, night.
I don't know, bombs.
Who's asking you?
I got a job, but there's been silver in there a little too much.
Where's the deal, anyhow?
Shut your mouth and get out of this park. Go on, beat him.
Hey, there's one right.
You better shut up.
Hey, man, I'll show you what's right.
The number's good, Danny.
Danny?
Nobody's going to tell you, huh?
Yeah.
Come on, Danny.
Somebody help me.
Somebody help me.
Almost with each succeeding year, usually in the months of spring or summer,
a new series of juvenile demonstrations are reported by the nation's press.
More often than not, the demonstrations take a reasonably harmless form.
But once in a while, they break out with such a violent and incredible turn
that responsible citizens everywhere are seconded and puzzled and rightly outraged.
Such a series of demonstrations had it start one night last year in a suburb of Milberg.
It was led by an 18-year-old skitzoid with an unquenchable thirst for power.
This young Haudenosaunee, Danny Casey, was known to his parents, his neighborhood, his school,
and even his parish priest as a real nice kid, a good boy.
It was an excellent serve.
Thank you, Mrs. Casey.
Good morning, father.
How old, Danny?
Good boy.
Nice to see you, young men and church.
All right.
Got a bad conscience, father.
I wanted to square myself with you.
Danny, what would a thing to say about your father?
Father, don't you believe one word of it?
I certainly do.
Nothing's only getting my...
Roy's a good boy, like you said.
Oh, what, Danny?
Yes, sir.
Could I talk to you a few minutes?
Sure, father.
I won't keep him long.
Keep him as long as you like father.
I didn't collapse as well.
No, go in here, Danny.
Anyway, sir.
No, sit down, sir.
Yes.
It's a lonely take a minute.
Father, what I said about this isn't about that.
I know how devoted you are to your brother.
No, I want to talk to you about something else and typing.
Yes, sir.
Danny, you and I have been friends for good many years.
You were Christians right here in this church.
You made your first Holy Communion here.
I think I can count on your health, if I ask for it.
My health, that's right, son.
I need the help of a boy who is outstanding in our community.
Someone, all the other boys, look up to his example.
Yes, sir.
Now, Danny, you heard my sermon.
You heard me say that some of our young people have formed gangs
that are terrorizing our whole community.
Yes, father, I did.
I don't imagine you have any idea who these boys are, Danny.
Me?
Well, no, sir.
Well, neither do I.
No, for that matter, the police.
But whoever they are, they must be stopped.
Now, before it's too late.
Yes, sir.
How, Danny, will you help me stop them?
Me, father.
For the moment, all you have to do is keep your eyes and ears open
and report anything you find out.
Oh, you can count on me, father.
I knew I could, Danny.
Well, I guess you can join your brother now.
Thank you for hearing me out.
Thank you, sir.
I mean, sir, good-bye, father Andrew.
I'll do the best I can.
I know you will, Dad.
Good-bye.
What do you want?
What do you want?
You know, it's a good laugh.
Yeah.
Galantig goes with it.
Only let's round up the rest of the guys first.
It's good to tell without the bunch of you listening.
Okay.
The longest father Andrew still thinks you're a good little Danny.
Good.
I'm practically sproutin' wings.
He thinks I'm an angel, but I weigh you here.
They help me, an angel.
Come on, let's find the others.
Oh, fellas.
Hi, Danny.
Round of four.
No, not tonight.
Mr. Greco here?
Yeah, yeah, in the back.
Nice.
Five on the side plank of friends.
Oh, it's a Greco.
Come in, Danny.
Come in.
I've been hovin' you to show.
Oh, what's that you drinkin' right?
It's got.
Sit down up, boy.
All the same to you.
I'd rather have the cash.
Yeah.
That's your cell.
Cash you've got right there in that envelope.
To what?
Got it.
I trust you, Mr. Greco.
Now, maybe no.
I'll take you up on that drink.
Say what?
Sell it up.
Save your arm, later.
Cute.
You have a cute boy, Danny.
Long as the girls think so.
Very cute.
You know what's happenin'?
I like the way you operate.
You got the dial.
Yeah?
The dial class.
You're all right.
I've been waiting in the papers just now.
Julio Gonzales.
Huh?
Gonzales had fun yet to care last night.
Oh, that was his name?
Papers, huh?
Well, along with your side of spite, I'm satisfied.
Only...
Only what?
Nothing.
What?
Why was just wondering why you got it into these bombs?
That's none of your business.
Okay.
You would just do like your total.
Well, no offense.
I was just wondering.
Don't.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to get worked up.
Yeah, sure.
I got something for you.
Little present.
Yes, I like it.
Hey.
Well, fancy switch plate.
Just press a button.
Me looking, isn't it?
Huh?
Like I'm in a alley, you know what I mean?
Say, you're okay, Mr. Greco.
Thanks a lot.
I got it, kid.
You do things for me.
I don't feel.
Just don't want us so much anymore.
We get along okay.

Finally, that ziprecruiter.com slash Zip.
What was that?
He said, I did not hurt.
I believe he means bother anyone.
I did not do anything.
Well, ask him to try to calm himself and answer your questions.
Explain that we came all the way from Washington
from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
We want to help him.
We want to find the gang that did this to him.
Right, Steve.
Well, what do you think of Zip Recruiter?
Zip Recruiter.com slash Zip Recruiter.com slash Zip.
Right, Steve.
Well, Gonzales.
You can pick him up and answer my questions.
Agent Stevens and I have come from Washington from the FBI.
We want to help you to find the gang that did this to him.
I believe the better if we leave Agent Reynolds alone with Gonzales.
Of course.
They will be outside if he tells you anything.
All right, Steve.
You should listen now.
Should I listen after you, Padre?
Tell him to rest, Mr. Reynolds.
We'll be back when he's feeling better.
I'll tell him.
Well, Mr. Stevens, you see how it is.
I'm afraid you're not going to get much satisfaction from that poor soul.
No, I'm afraid not.
It's a brutal business.
I'm certainly glad the FBI is here.
We'll do what we can, Father, and as quickly as we can.
I'm sure of that.
The plane fact is, it can't be too soon.
We understand that.
And I don't only mean for the safety of potential victims.
The community has really worked up over this.
You mean people might begin to take the matter into their own hands?
They very well might.
Actually, you see, there are two main factions.
One man feels that even hanging is too good for hoodlums like this.
Another man thinks, well, the other feels more humanely about it.
Yes.
If young people can act so viciously against the common good,
there must be an underlying reason.
Remove the reason and you remove the act.
How do you feel, Father?
Well, frankly, there's something to be said for both sides.
Depends a lot on the individual.
But no matter how I, or anyone else may feel it's up to the courts,
and the court process to determine.
I'm sorry I certainly didn't mean to start a summit.
I'm sorry.
You've been awfully helpful, Father.
Not at all.
I only wish I were one last thing.
Yes.
Perhaps I do lean a little toward what you call the more human sight.
Oh, I don't believe there's no such thing as a bad boy.
But I believe there are very few.
Unless...
Yes.
Unless there's someone behind them.
Yes, Agent Reynolds and I have discussed that.
Any ideas, Father, who that someone might be?
No, none.
But there have been several attempts over the past few years
to discredit and distract the local police.
Now, that might tie you night.
I don't know.
Attempt by home.
A gambling elements, vice, beautiful.
Ever since the police started to crack down,
there's been some sort of trouble.
Because it may not connect at all, I...
I just thought I'd mention it.
I'm glad you did.
But whatever it is, I only hope you stop it in time.
I've seen things like this mushroom before, Mr. Stevens.
I only hope you stop it before it gets out of hand.
Use air, boy.
Sit up now.
Rook's fry.
You step reliably.
This is your great grand call.
And then some.
My name?
Oh, I've been called Johnny Reb,
and I've been called Billy Anke.
I'm a soldier.
Civil war.
What you want to know about soldier?
March?
Oh-ho!
We did it a plenty.
Both heavy march and order and light march and order.
See, light march and order meant we was to march only
with musket ammunition,
have a sack and canteen,
and be ready for work and or for fighting.
Well, that was nothing.
It was the heavy march and order we didn't like.
Oh-ho!
That meant carrying everything you owned on a long march
to the next field of battle or else a new camp.
There was never enough order,
and sometimes we wouldn't have us nothing to eat for a whole day.
And us, in our heavy woollen,
carrying 50 or 60 pounds on our backs,
and we'd have to go to the beach and down,
dusty roads in the summer,
and muddy ones in the winter.
Still, it was something to see.
First, there'd be the agitants,
then the scouts, then the band and drum corps,
then the kernel and the lieutenant kernel,
then the two surgeons and the hospital knaps that carrier.
Yeah, we was quite a sight, I tell you.
Even though some of us didn't have shoes
and straggled a bit sometimes.
Now, now you, boy.
You got shoes,
space you'll build to last.
And if you watch yourself,
blame that they don't help protect your feet
from frostbite and things like that.
But, what's real important,
lots of times you've got trucks to carry your gear,
and you too, for which you can thank your lucky stars and stripes.
Oh, believe you, Nissan.
It takes more than just men and guns and generals to make you an army.
It takes no one's somebody thinking about your durned old feet
and your aching back.
Like that good transportation corps you've got.
Dang, if it don't.
Hey, Alex.
Come on, I'll look what I found.
Man, man, man.
All right, where's your manners?
That's the young lady,
so they don't want to ride.
How about it, girls?
The carriage awaits with us.
Without what?
Without girl?
There you are.
Why won't you ride and have a laugh a minute?
Come on, girls, hop in.
Nothing.
Oh, at night like this,
it's dangerous to be out alone without men like us to protect you.
Please, please, just a little.
We want a walk.
And we want you to ride.
I'm not asking you, I'm telling you,
the boat to your hop in.
Oh, Mr. Greco, you want to see me?
Shut the door, Danny.
I'm sorry, it took so long getting here either.
It's been a little busy.
You don't mind if I help myself to think of this nice scratch?
I might.
Very much.
What's the idea?
I'll tell you the idea.
I love it a little suit, mom.
That's nothing to what I ought to do.
Nothing.
It's got into you, Mr. Greco.
Oh, give me those baby blues.
You know what's got to enemy.
What?
This got to enemy.
I read the papers, don't I?
Oh, that.
Great publicity, huh?
Great publicity.
You know what that kind of publicity can get us, don't you?
Yeah, I think maybe I do.
You're going to have to pay for this cleaning, Mr. Greco.
You crazy little punk.
Who told you to pull a thing like this anyway?
Probably with you, Mr. Greco.
You think small.
Now me, I think big.
Big.
You call hijacking a couple of body sucksers up the street?
Think I'm big.
Maybe.
Bigger than having a kid beat up helpless old bombs
for a tin horn like Lucky Bannon.
Huh?
Who told you that the lie?
A priest.
But you'll never believe it.
And I used to play ball with me, Greco.
I thought you were a guy hated bombs and all the time
you were a student for Lucky.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I do hate bombs.
I don't even know Lucky.
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Danny, maybe you got those two girls.
Tied up nice and snug.
Where, huh?
And a man of cigar.
Let him go.
I'll leave that to Lucky Bannon.
I got an idea he'll be kind of pleased.
Maybe take care of me, too.
You think I'm going to Lucky Bannon?
No, I don't think.
I'm through dealing not direct.
I don't need you no more.
Oh, look, you.
It's time maybe you got something straight.
You take your orders from me and me only.
Oh, what?
Oh, what, Greco?
I've been anxious to try this ever since you gave it to me.
May come in handy, you said.
Maybe this is the time.
Yeah.
Hey, kid.
What is this?
Two pals can't have a friend like this agreement?
I'm sure they can.
I just want you to get something straight like you wanted me.
As long as we understand each other, that's fine.
I don't take orders from you anymore.
For you.
For you.
St. Cecilia, church.
Father Andrew speaking.
Father, this is Root.
What?
Hello?
It's our fault, Father.
We've good.
Root.
Is this Root or CD?
Helen, don't they can't hear it.
Root, where are you?
Are you alright, Root?
Where are you?
I'm alright.
Now, Helen's all hysterical now, but a man let us go.
Please, Helen.
I can't talk with her.
Father, wait for us.
Will you?
I'll tell you about it when we get there.
Wait for us, please.
Come on, let's go.
Hey.
Hey, I swear, of course.
That's valid, huh?
It is.
Right.
Then, of course, what do you say?
I swear.
What, what were we saying?
I don't know.
Yes.
Drink.
Yes.
Is it zero?
Yes.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Nothing.
Nothing.
That was okay.
Yes.
Sure.
I'm going to open up the door.
We want to make a nice impression on the ladies.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
Roy?
Yes.
Open up then.
Open, says the lady.
The ladies wait within, my friend.
Within what?
Within the world.
You know what we need a writer.
That's what we need.
It was his last one.
We'll do that.
Oh, yeah.
I thought of you one time on tape.
I've female coming attractions.
And I will one time on tape in bottom.
Liquid refreshments, meanwhile.
Boy, do I speak English?
Yes.
Go on, Alex.
Yes.
Okay.
Daddy, just spread that flesh over here.
No, sure.
Sir, Alex would like to name the lady.
Well, it is.
You have a plan.
Come through it.
I have a plan.
We're about to be on time.
So you can tie one on.
It's a very funny job with the one he left.
It's daddy's flesh.
Yeah.
Okay, here.
I did not say that.
Hey, lovely ladies.
I'm afraid you're all going to be disappointed.
I don't know.
Your guest, Savanna, won't be able to make it.
What is this?
How did you get here?
That doesn't matter much, does it?
What matters is this warehouse is surrounded by the police
and the FBI.
What?
The FBI?
They wanted to take you, possibly, if necessary.
I asked for one minute with you alone.
They weren't too keen on the idea,
but I told them you'd all be sensible
and surrender without further violence.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
I'll do it.
Why do you get this wrong?
I've been working.
I haven't got it wrong, Danny.
The only thing I had wrong was...
Well, that doesn't matter now, either.
Greco.
Who is Greco, Danny?
I told you that last time.
I told you that, Danny.
They're only waiting one minute.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's right.
Come on, fellas.
It's barricade that door.
What?
A door.
It's barricade.
The gun is coming and going.
We haven't a chance.
Yeah, we got us, haven't we?
Since when can't the four of us take him off?
Your friends are right, Danny.
Now listen to them.
It's the only way out for you.
You shut up, you!
Danny, shut up right.
Why are you shut up, you hear me?
The rest of you, boys.
I'm going out now.
Come with me.
We're...
We're coming, fellas.
Yeah, nobody moves to step.
Nobody.
Danny!
Now look.
We can hold Father Andrew here.
The FBI won't do what thing as long as we hold him.
I'm working out, Danny.
Oh, no, you're not.
You're not working anywhere.
No, Danny.
Don't tell me no.
First step, you'll make Father display.
It goes right through your middle.
Danny, don't talk like that.
He doesn't mean it, Father.
Yes, I do.
I mean it.
He doesn't.
Don't try me.
That's all.
I'm going to try you, Danny.
I'm working out that door right now.
Don't try it.
I'm going first, boys.
You follow up.
I'm wanting it for the last time.
Don't make a move.
I'm sorry for you, Danny.
I'm really sorry.
Stop, Father.
I mean it.
Take one more step.
Move, change your mind.
Walk out with me.
I'm wanting it.
And now I'm wanting it.
Don't take another step, Father.
Stop.
He means it.
I'll be outside, Danny.
Waiting.
Don't stop.
I'm wanting it.
Please stop.
Please.
Mr. Stevens.
Over here, Father.
You're all right.
I'm all right.
You can go in now.
There won't be any trouble.
You can go in.
This land is your land.
This land is my land.
This land was made for you and me.
God, peace and being,
John L. Sullivan and Fred Allen,
Harvard and MIT,
as unrelated as these things seem,
they all have something in common.
Mm-hmm.
They are all important parts of our American heritage
and all native to Massachusetts.
But more than the home of food and fighters,
Massachusetts has been the home of liberty and freedom
since 1620,
when the Pilgrim Father's arrived on the Mayflower
to make the first permanent white settlement at Plymouth,
and the home of three United States presidents,
poets such as Longfellow,
a novelist, Herman Melzell,
but Massachusetts is still more.
Mm-hmm.
It's summer that Martha's vineyard
are on the cape,
it's standing on the bridge at Concord
and watching the middle-sex farmers
take up arms in April of 75.
It's passed in the famous department store,
not by leans,
but Raymond's where you're bought the hat.
Massachusetts is the biggest tea party in history,
and the tidy chickadee,
the house of Winters first snow falling
on the old North Church near the common,
and the bloom of the Mayflower,
almost before the last snow melt.
Massachusetts has many things to many people.
To all Americans,
it's the birthplace of our nation.
With the apprehension of Danny Casey
and his gang,
the wave of terror ended in Millburg.
Nick Greco was identified by the girl victims
as the man who released them,
but he was nevertheless indicted
and eventually brought to trial
along with Lucky Behrman.
Both were given long-terms in prison.
The fate of Danny and his gang
was left to juvenile court,
where a trio of judges decided
in favor of a corrective institution
with rehabilitation the ultimate goal.
Then Casey's neighbors no longer refer to him
as the good boy.

Access to affordable credit helps me pay my employees,
but I don't really need it.
Inflation is killing me!
Who cares?
Big retailers and making record profits!
That's why we support the German Marshall Credit Card Bill!
See?
Banks and credit unions help small businesses make payroll.
This bill would cut the vital resources they need.
While increasing Megastore profits!
They deserve it.
Don't they?
