The National Broadcasting Company presents the Adventures of Sam Spade Detective. Sam Spade Detective. Please sweetheart. Oh, who's that loud? Nothing, that was my teeth, Saturn. Oh, is it cold now? Out where I was, Epglis, I've been swimming. And he's said that? Oh, Sam, you caught a kill. That's true, Alph, I caught a real Russian kill. They're not keeping San Francisco Bay as well. He did as they might. Today, Sam, you were swimming in the... Where else, Eps? Oh, Sam, you've been drinking. Only Brian, Angel, and what kelp do you, Cycod Stevin? Help you! Oh, it was a taxing experience, F. Our lesser man couldn't have come through it. Lay out some dry clothes for me, mix me a hot grudge, get out your pencil, it lights underwater, and prepare to take down a narrative of international and free GNSB inage, which we will call...

Let's see, the 2-5-123-5-6-79, paper. What? Or, the Russian's number is up. Oh, Sam, you're not a real Russian. Oh, Sam, you're not a real Russian. NBC invites you to listen to the greatest private detective of the mall, as William Spear radios outstanding producer director of history and crime drama, bring you the adventures of Sam Fade. Oh, Sam! Fade! Here I am, Sam. I'm going to call the janitor to see if he could turn on some more heat. But you say... Oh, you're not so very well. Well, I had a dry martini on the way over. Dr. Ames called you a few hours ago. Dr. Oscar Ames. It ain't, that was nice. You're worried about you. I wonder now if you've been found yet. He said, you can go on a ferry boat, and he just happened to have a cup of coffee and when he came back... Yes, sir. Yes. Well, can't keep the FBI waiting. The FBI? Oh, well, she don't think I was playing around with kid down this, K-Pan. Oh, no, no, no, Sam. I need to go home. I'll take it down. And this one, your uncle Sam was working for his uncle Sam.

They fill it in. Two federal bureau investigation, Washington, DC. Care of J-Edgar. I don't know, that'll be too much. Well, why not? One Samuel's paid. License number 137596. Sonsik, Morris, Targomensky. Uh, how do you spell that, Dan? Targomensky, K-A-R-G. Don't want to be met. I mean, Morris. Oh, I should have known. B-O-R-I-S. Dear, sir. Last night, I let my secretary off at 530. So that she could go and do some Christmas shopping, although I told her repeatedly that all I want this year is money. The fine was rolling in off the bay, and it was bitter cold. If they came out onto the street, pulling my overcoat collar up around my ear. Seemed like the night for spaghetti. A wonderful spaghetti dinner and some pleasant Italian hospitality down at Mama Pizza's restaurant. On the Embarcadero opposite the ferry building. So that's where I went. But Mama Pizza had more than hospitality on her mind when she met me at the door.

Oh, I'm so glad to find you. I'm just calling you out. Oh, what's the trouble, Mama? Someone's been stealing out of your own. Please. It's in my cousin's tone. They tried to kill him. Oh, what happened, Mama? Come on, sir. You hit the without our table. I'll make a ton of data. It's not fair to say so good, but he can talk all right. You're going to see. You led me to the back of the restaurant to the people with a family generally, since her daughter is Angelina and Patty with her with place of food in front of them. But they weren't eating any of it. I was staring in awe at the man who sat next to him. He was small to start with, but he was even smaller, Angelina's chair miserably staring, unseen, into a glass of wine. On the table in front of him was a battered old concertina. The top of his head was waved in a clean, new bandage. She found him, said, oh, she found him. This is about causing funny color to you. Funny. My good friend, Mr. Spade. Hello, Tony. Hello. Go on, Tony. You tell us, then, what's happened on you?

Damn. You have a new donor to say a new time. Yeah. Don't forget. Tonight, you're going to be mangled. Who do you not could say it? Oh. Galapini, catch a theory. Well, I don't care. Mama, what's that on the honey or plate, Angelina? You're going to eat that? Well, pass it over. And wait, not warm, ma'am. That's what I always say. Now, what happened on you, Tony? Well, I'm on the boat, to say it. Yeah, what boat? The ferry boat. The whole couldn't ferry boat. Don't you never hear my music on the boat? Ah. You play the concertina on the ferry ride. Sure. My novel. Tonight, on the 6 o'clock of boat. Oh, boy. Tonight, on the 6 o'clock of boat, what? I'm going to play inside the first, by the sandwich you play. From everybody's say, oh, boy, it's going to be good. You play good. You play some more. At 10 o'clock to hear, five o'clock to hear, two quarters to even. Then, I go up the stairs. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. And? Then, I go out on the deck. It's very misty for the back. It doesn't say nothing.

Now, I'm very happy. I feel like I play some more. So, I'm a walk away back, kind of open, and down at the deck, kind of make a move. Then, all of a sudden, I hear somebody say something to me. I kind of see nobody. But I hear him. Why do you think he said to me? What? What? Cospidor. Cospidor? As in, boy? Cospidor. Well, so, I must head back to him. Cospidor. I feel kind of seen nobody. Then, I hear him, he said, is that you play bonus? So, I get mad. I say, no, I know play bonus. I play paliaci. So, I ask a tomato, but I don't play bonus. That's a flaw in the stuff. I see. I'm sorry. I said that because of this, I follow. He sounds like he's a fool. So, I'm just a girl and say, look, Mr. Oh, boy. What? I told you. I get a head on the head, the smash, the paton.

I fall down, I'm a breathing. I drop on my concertina, my head, the gallop, the big hole, on the top. I let her the big yellow, then in a blackout. Oh, boy. People come running around in a good lock, there's a doctor on the board that can't be down the stairs and hit fix me off. Otherwise, I'm a diet for sure. Well, what did it feel like? What do you hit you with? Well, it feels like a baseball bat. My deductees are looking into the doctor now. Just a comment. Hey, doctor. A doctor looked in our direction, when Tony called and stood over to the table. A big six foot tree blonde guy in the Joel McRae Gary Cooper tradition. Yeah, I don't like him right away. No bad bad man out of this, doctor. Although he could have had as much of it as he liked. He was all business and no kidding. I thought I told you to go to bed and stay there. Well, doctor, I just want to have a concussion, Tony. I'll be back here in an hour and then we'll take some extra. My name is Sam Spade, doctor. I'm a friend of a family. Oh, Amy, Dr. Oscar, Amy, hi. Dr. Serey, can you speak on a good speaker?

How many days are there? No, thanks, Mama. Smells wonderful, but I haven't had time. Oh, I'll have a cup of coffee, maybe. Sure. Oh, you want me to make a pan and go to bed? Yeah. It's going now, Tony. Go lie down. I'll be back and we'll check you over. Get some rest in the meantime. All right. All right. From my ducts and ends, I don't know. X-Serey is a whole thing. I don't know how I'm going to fail you. Never mind that. That's why we charge our nabial patients to the lexas, so we're able to do something like this once in a while. This'll be on me, Tony. You'll go to the kind of man that doctor. All right. I don't know what to say. You go on a light hour, Tony. You're embarrassing that doctor. All right, I got it. Scory thing, this one isn't that doctor. Sure is. Yes, you go, man. Oh, thanks, Mama. Yeah, sure is. Homicidal maniac, what's like, Mr. Spade? Spade? Sam? Are you the detective? Yeah, I try. Well, I know about you. You did something for a colleague of mine, Murphy. After Rauw Murphy? Murphy, Murphy. Yeah, I did a job in my summer. Yeah, he gave you a great send-off. I said, what is all this tonight down here?

Detectives, police? Police, how do you mean? Well, I think they were police. I was explaining close guys. They were waiting here on this side when the ferry pulled into slip. They're still there holding the boat. I just left them. Well, what were they doing? Talked to all the passengers that came off. Ask us for identification. Uh-huh. Hey, what do they think about Tony's little experience getting knocked down their head? Oh, they were. Might be interested, naturally. Especially when I told him how I thought the wound had been inflicted, which was. Gun butt? Gun butt, eh? Oh, yeah. I'd say so. The dog knows I saw enough of those in the war. The Russians used to club prisoners over the head that way to stay the ammunition. And then fling the guys into the river. Oh, hey, I've got to go. Take that gruely ride again. What, the ferry? Yeah, got patient over in Oakland. Had to come back over here to pick up some serum pulling the nurse and she met me just out here. Well, thanks to the senior Sam. Or tell her what she's saying. Tony, hey, wait a minute, Doc. I've got nothing to do. I'll ride over with you. A little air won't do this dinner any harm. We crossed the street, went into the ferry building.

Everything was normal enough for the main waiting room when I stopped the Vice-Cigarette in a pocket flash line. But outside on the dock where the Oakland boat was waiting to take off, there were a number of extra characters whom you wouldn't think would have chosen a dismal chili night like this for waterfront lounging. There wasn't anybody I knew. And in any gathering of plain clothes and local variety, I generally spot one or two familiar faces. Dr. Ains and I got a boy followed by three of these gentlemen. The broadest one was built for endurance, exchanged pleasantries with us as the boat moved out into the water. Hello, Dr. Ains. I see you didn't miss the boat, like they all say. No. Or you, one of the colors I talked to you before, I mean, landed. Yeah, that's right. I don't think I got your name. Connolly. Connolly, this is Satan. Yeah. Would that be Lieutenant Connolly or Sergeant Maybe? That's Connolly. How special, Taddle. How's it going to follow during, Dr? Hello, Chief. Tony? He's under care. He, uh, talked anymore, say anything interesting. I didn't talk to him. It's a sad hear, did.

Uh, really? Really? What do you have to say? Well, you see, I'm an old friend of his family. What he told me was in confidence. And I really have to know a little more about who I'm telling his secrets. Who? I say. Spade your name, or I say? Who is? Nice to meet you, Mr. Ains. Mr. Ains. It means nothing to you, huh? I admit. Mr. Ains sounds like another word. Somebody might think he said in custody. That's very funny. Hey, are you going to stay out here on deck? We haven't met up our mind. That OK? How to go inside? Have a little coffee at the snack bar. It's comfortable. Right, so before you know it, I'd hear it's foggy, wet, and miserable. Yeah. Well, I'm going in. I'll see you later. Goodbye, doctor. Well, maybe he's right. Although I'm not saying he's not my favorite man in the world in this country. It is strictly no more than the weather out here on deck. So we go in? Not just yet for me, doctor. Yeah, I think I'll stretch my legs a little. That, tell me. Where was it that Tony got caught? On the upper deck, I know, but which side?

Uh, he was turned around now. Uh, a sabote. Just about directly above where we're standing. Ah, don't point, doctor. I'll find Connolly in as a boy. Or I'm on my way out to see it. Now they went back in. Do you think there's mysterious, is they think? Oh, definitely, that. You know what made him turn back just now? Decider wasn't necessary to check whether we were still here. No, what? They can't make a sound out here. It's too dark. I can see two lighted cigarettes. Sandspapers, exactly. Look, even in the basement in the morning or you want to get up there and look around my journey while I was, don't you? I do. Well, in the end, me or say that. Now it's not going both. The art of part and we'll both be here. Step you. After aimed in the masterful thinking, doctor. Go ahead, I'll be here. So I tried the slippery spares for the upper deck. The fog was as wet as rain. I couldn't see any more than inches ahead of me with my flashlight. Finally, I stopped about a midship and looked down over the rail. Ames and his two cigarettes, honey red dots of light that grew brighter every now and then, if they puffed at them,

were almost directly beneath me. So I knew I was just about right. A sudden noise that on my head made me shoot my light up for it. It came from a piece of canvas that had suddenly ripped loose for canvas that covered the top of a light post. I got up there somehow and pushed for carry of layholding out a few steel supports that went on. The piece of canvas had been ripped open with a knife a whole large enough for a man's body to get through. And that's what was in there, spalled in the bottom of the light post, a man's body. He'd been stabbed in the neck. This was the man who had fled his home. Or so it seemed because the gun was still clenched in his right hand, barrel reversed. There's nothing in his pocket, just a handkerchief, and two dollars in change. But my flash caught a set of something like one of his shoes. It was a bit of paper with two pipe-witten line pipes. I let myself down to the deck, rub the circulation back into my arm or I'd been holding on and prepared to read the note. That's when my flashlight went dead. I drove the bus cursing him for not checking our batteries until I found a faint, ghostly, grim, red light over here,

out over the edge of the ship on the outside of the rail. I climbed over, steadied myself against lurging and read a couple of matches. It said, international postcard shot, seriously, SF, reading cards for boards. I put a bit of paper in my pocket and turned the phone back over the rail. And then something came out of me from the flash. I caught me full of my center of the foil. And my sagging came again like a blot. I would, like, pop up my head and made it burn with sudden fire. 90 points of like glitter in the blackness. Same rushing cordon in blue larger, and I felt crashing over the side. Go. Go. Go. Go. Go.

THE BEATS OF THE STATE Imagine the greatest names in stage, screen, and radio. People like Bob Hope, Rosalind Russell, Meredith Wilson, Frankie Lane, and many, many others. Imagine an hour and a half of the very finest in comedy, music, and drama. Imagine all this rolled into one wonderful program. Presided over by the just staffed Dynamo Talula Bankhead. Well, NBC has the program. It's the big show. Third every Sunday night over most of these stations. All this and Talula too. No wonder it's the big show. And Sunday evening also means theater guild on the air. This Sunday theater guild presents Boomerang, starring Kirk Douglas. THE BEATS OF THE STATE And now back to the two five, one, two, three, five, six, seven, nine, cable. The night's adventure with Sam Bade.

I've found myself mechanically keeping up close somehow and trying to get out of my overtake. My eyes burn. I felt heavy and lost. If I swat a gallon of water. My head began to clear a little, but with returning consciousness, came increased pain pretty bad, too. From out of a nifty blanket, from every direction and a dozen different keys from near and far, five horn sounded. I knew that by now the carnage swept me out of the tap of the Oakland Ferries. The water was chilling. And I turned over and began swimming, just fine enough to keep the blood circulating. A light of a food came into sight suddenly, and I flew back my head and yelled. But the horn crying its warning, brought me out and a boat went on, and the fodged posed in behind me. And then I found myself full of a strange and wonderful weariness. A water wasn't cold anymore. I was warm with a comfortable soothing numbness. And I knew what to do. I'd swim until I didn't hear the noise of the horns anymore.

And then in the quiet of the friendly fog, go to sleep. Still I began to doles. And then some light came into my eyes, and I wanted to stay in the dark. And I turned my face down into the embrace of the water. And then I, I wasn't for you to expect at all. I was lying on a baggage truck that was moving. People were starting around, walking beside the clustering iron. A guy in uniform, wheeling me, notice I had my eyes open. Wow, hello, pal. Welcome back to the United States. Hello, what part of the United States? Just landing in Stapolito. They still will take you over to the hospital. Of course, so little. How long before this boat gets back, I'll send from the hospital. And then I'll be back. I'll be back. I'll be back. I'll be back. I'll be back. I'll be back. I'll be back. I'll be back. This boat gets back to San Francisco. Please, side away. I'm going with... Hey, what are you waiting for? I think I'll be okay. Half an hour later, shivering and shaking in my wet clothes, keeping my mouth clamped, so my teeth wouldn't sound like a dice game. I climbed into a taxi at the ferry building and went to my apartment.

There I swell up half a plateau, whiskey and rub myself with a coarse towel and put my skin with sore. Then I looked in the pocket of the soggy suit I'd hung up to drive. The sill air, a piece of paper from a dead man's shoe. Damn it, but legible. International postcard shop. Gary Street, SF. Reading card for Boris. I got out to put on a dry suit and then changed my mind with the wet one back on. Good evening. Are you the proprietor here? Yes, I'm like that. Six years at the same location. Oh, sure. My cooking's just ready now. You really got out of those and yes, I did. Nice collection of postcards from all over. Right? South America every place. Yes, yes. I fight myself on having the most complete possible collection. What's there something you have especially in mind? Yes, there was. Oh. I'm looking for a greeting card for Boris. What's the matter? Didn't you hear me? Yes. Didn't you understand? Well, well, what?

It's a word that I didn't expect somebody like you. What did you expect somebody slinking around in a Pulse Moustache wearing dark glasses and an Inverness cape? No, I... You know, you know, with your type of thinking you may not be the right man for this job, Gus Beijing. No, no, no, please, Mr. Yobok, I thought you were dead, you grow old. Yeah, I would told you about it. You were low. Yeah, well, I didn't drown. I jumped in the water when I heard him coming. You can see how wet I still am. Yes, yes, of course. So you were scared. Easily. An uptalk handed over. A greeting card for Boris. Very well. Let's see. Self-pulsing goes close. He turned and reached down under the counter. My slip, my hand under my armpit and held my 38 ready in case it came up with something similar. But only brought forth was a box marked special. And this extracted something and handed it to me. I took it with a knowing expression on my face that I didn't know if I'm nothing, or what it meant. All it was was an ordinary postcard.

That's all a picture postcard showing the golden gate bridge. Underneath it the caption, wonder the cities of the world, number 25, one, two, three, five, six, seven, nine, San Francisco. Nothing else. I was afraid my mouth was open. What's the matter? What's the matter? Don't you know how to read the name? It's so difficult to call. Did he? It certainly I know how I was just admiring no work at all. It is actually, it's not. Look, you better go now. You've been here a long, not really long. Time, we didn't know. Of course, we don't. I'll go this way. I'm sorry to have been overly cautioned. There is no such thing as over caution. Thank you. You were so... Were you seeing like an American? So are you. I showed out out of the street, touching my postcard, but I shoved it inside my sleeve a moment later because who I saw, standing under the mystic glimmer of a streetlight waiting for me, was my heavy-set, mysterious friend from the ferry boat.

Connolly. I turned my head around and glanced down the other end of the block behind me. Two other guys were there, sure enough. My advanced slowly toward me with their hands raised, palms out, and if they were showing me they weren't carrying guns. I reached my hand inside for mine all the same, but I never got the use of it. Because Connolly rushed me from the other side. I caught him on the chair and he went down. Rattering into an ash can. The others who boys grabbed me and held my arms behind me. Connolly got up rubbing his face and I waited to get murdered, but no. All right. Joe Lewis. Bring it on. And so they did. We didn't go far though just around the corner to a little hamburger place. I had a sign in the door saying, close, although the light inside. Connolly knocked on the door and a fellow with an apron came and opened it and locked it after us. Connolly gave my nod and we sat down at a table while he brought us coffee. They, we've checked on you. You're saying to be okay. You're sending good with the department, friend. What department would that be, friend? This department. Huh? FBI.

Oh, oh. And maybe it can help. Anyhow, we don't want you going around making a noise and messing it up for us. So here it is. I'm all ears. Did you ever hear of a man called Boris Kaga Minsky? No. Well, not many people have. Even in Russia. Boris Kaga Minsky is the top Soviet agent of America. He's the head man. He organizes and runs everything for them here. I see. Now, he came to this country seven years ago and vanished. They've been trying to find him ever since. False passport, of course. I didn't help. There's nothing anywhere on Kaga Minsky. No pictures. Not even in Russia. No fingerprints. Nothing. Every week we had dead end. And then we got word last week. Go ahead, drink it, go. Oh, I'm too interested. We got word last week for another agent. An unimportant little guy named of you, Bob, was on his way to San Francisco. And that he would definitely have to contact the big gun. Something that could do with a Chinese war business. That only Kaga Minsky's been out to handle. Well, our man tailed you, Bob, all the way out here. And then he lost him. The Okron ferry. Well, it didn't bother us very much. He called us when we were waiting on his end.

But in pulls the ferry and no you, Bob. Blue Bob was a dead man on the light bulb. Right. He must have been up there waiting to be contacted. And then he heard Tony in his concertina thought this might be it. And then when he realized he'd made a mistake and uncovered himself, he can't Tony on the head. Right. And his Soviet contact got scared of investigations on the boat following Tony's human cry and stabbed Blue Bob. So now we're back where we started. Every passenger on that ferry was okay. What's that you're looking at? Picture post, right? On a message on Blue Bob about the international postcard shop on a greeting for... Hey. Hey, you're greeting for Boris. Boris Kaga Minsky, let me see that. My bulldozer was by guy on the shop, and he had it. Looks like nothing's just a picture, but he said he... He said I could read the name. Give me a... Go again, great. Oh, these numbers. Wonder cities of the world. Number 251235679. Hey, wait a minute. But... They put up a guy's name, Boris. B... O... R... I... Leave the space. K... Hey, hi. G...A...M...E...N...

SK...1. Now, put numbers... Wait a minute. The top number is 9. Yeah. All right, put... 12345 over Boris, and then start again. 12349 over Kaga Minsky. Uh-huh. Yeah. So... All right. Now, postcard. 251235679. Okay, what's two? Two. Three. One. Uh-huh. Oh, five. S. Oh, S. No, Kaga Minsky. One. Uh-K. Two, three. A. R. OSKAR. Oh, I guess we know the rest of it. 5679A-M-E-S. Correct? Correct. Oscar Ains. Doctor... Oscar Ains. Hm. But... I was just thinking. He was worried about me catching pneumonia. I called Mama Pizza and from what she said we knew where to go. We picked them up at the emergency hospital.

We were just finishing the operation on Tony's head. We watched them through the glass and the other young doctor standing alongside it. Said he was one of the greatest surgeons they'd ever seen. When he enrolled his gloves and took off his operating mask, he looked up and saw me alive. And the other boys with me is scalp-tiking for just a second and then he smiled. But when he reached into his bag that we rushed him before he could get the little red bottle to his lips. Period and the report. Oh, thanks. A five-star. Yes, it was. Everything had a choice and being thrown in the water and mysterious people and a coldness. That had kept you awake, Angel. What is it like not to want to be an American? Not to want to live the way we do in America. I can't imagine sweetheart. I can't. Damn. About that brain. Yeah.
