Thanks so much for your support.

Now this special is going to be one of our twice told tale episodes.

Now for those of you who haven't listened to these in the past, what we do is we will play two episodes, both written by the same writer.

But recycled from one series to another.

And there's sort of recycling of scraps. We refer to it from time to time, but it was a fairly common practice by many writers who took advantage of the fact that their programs aired only once.

So it wasn't that hard to wait a few months or a year or so, and essentially take the same script, make a few changes, and you have another program from the same basic story.

Today we are going to feature a story that was done on two very different series.

First of all, there was the silent man, a series starring Douglas Fairbank, Jr., where each week he would play a different protagonist who represented one of the obscure federal agencies,

whose bottle work often went unnoticed and little known by their fellow Americans.

And then we have Notbeat, which was a series starring Frank Lovejoy as a reporter who walks around in the evening searching for stories for his newspaper call, called Notbeat.

And this series features many human mysteries.

So now from February 3rd, 1952 is the episode of The Silent Men, The Big Kill.

Dogless Fairbank's junior in the silent man.

The national broadcasting company proudly presents Dogless Fairbank's production of the silent man.

Transcribed stories of the undercover operation of the special agents of every branch of our federal government.

And their relentless fight against crime. Now here is Dogless Fairbank.

Many people assume that the special agents of our federal government are concerned only with foreign intrigue, espionage or international problems.

But this is not the case. For every citizen of this country regardless of age or nationality is under the constant protection and surveillance of the silent men.

And the same skill and persistence that is used in guarding the security of our nation is also used in dealing with some of the trials and disturbances of Mr. and Mrs. Average American.

This is such a story. A case involving simply P.K.

In it I play the part of special agent Alec Brown from whose departmental chief in Washington I obtained the facts.

The file case entitled The Big Kill in which only the names and places are fictional.

I've been transferred from CAA headquarters in Washington to the district office in New York.

A new office meant a new routine and I was familiarizing myself with it by working evening.

An office is a lonely place at night and when the phone at my side shattered the stillness with a sharp cry I was startled out of my wits.

Hello?

Mrs. Civil Aeronautics Bureau?

Yes. Who do you want to stay to?

What is it? Maybe I can help you.

A bomb in the plane Chicago.

What?

If there anyone there who can understand me, I can use a Chicago bomb plane.

One minute please.

Give me your name please.

What is my name?

You have no time.

The passenger?

I must have your name.

No, I haven't gone.

I've got to go now.

I've got to leave.

What flight to Chicago?

75.

75?

Yes, that couldn't go now.

Lady, it's 5 after 8 now.

You phone just 10 minutes too late.

No!

No!

No!

In my line of work I get a lot of crank telephone calls but I couldn't take chances on this one.

I call to control tower at the airport immediately.

True tower?

Brown at CAA.

You have 755 flight to Chicago?

Yes, sir, but contact the pilot immediately.

I have him make an emergency landing at once.

Unload the passengers and let no one in or near the plane till I get there.

I'll stand by.

I've been trying to tell you, sir, the Chicago plane hasn't taken off.

The fog settled suddenly on the airfield and we're waiting till it lifts.

Where is she now?

The far end of the strip.

Well, leave her there.

We're on all personnel to keep clear.

I'll be there as soon as I can.

But what is it?

Well, I don't understand.

Do as I tell you.

I phone police headquarters.

By radio, they contacted Lieutenant Pearson and a driver in my neighborhood.

And in less than five minutes, I was in the back seat of a car racing to the airport.

What time you got to dinner?

8.20.

Step on the driver.

He's doing 80 now.

There's the light of the field.

And there's anything I can't stand as bomb.

Even thinking about them gives me a good flash and me off 20 minutes ago.

Here she is.

You can stop here.

You stay here, Lieutenant.

I'll call you if everything's okay.

That makes me plenty happy.

I don't like it.

There's been a bomb all right.

And a big one.

When the earth stopped tossing me around, I looked up at the burning DC-4.

People were pouring out of the main building and I saw a truck with a fire crew headed for the plane.

I picked myself up to my feet.

Come on.

You heard that?

You heard that?

Oh, I was just taking up.

Okay, I didn't get any closer.

Oh, okay.

You really died when I heard it.

I'm going to feel nothing in this big wide world like a bomb blast.

And I thought she was another clang.

All right, folks.

Let's just step back.

Lieutenant, I don't want anyone near the fireman near this plane.

You heard the man.

All right, now step back.

Right back on.

You get back here.

Fireboys did their best, but it wasn't good enough.

The tide goes to the airliner lay down on the ground.

If she had taken off on time, 30 human bodies would have been added to the awful side.

Being in this burn to the service for seven years taught me where to look for evidence.

Lieutenant Pearson, help me.

What are we looking for?

Oh, anything.

Bomb fragments, maybe.

See these bent ribs here?

No, no.

That's the spot that got it first.

She will miss this luggage.

Yeah.

What there is left of it?

What's that you've got in your hand?

A piece of sharp metal I picked up.

Here, put it in this handkerchief.

It's a bomb fragment.

Did you see any more?

I don't handle it.

Prince, I didn't even know from the bomb.

I wouldn't have touched it with a ten-foot pole.

Here's a real find.

These have leather with a fragment embedded in it.

Could just be it.

Do you want?

As soon as the bomb came in.

Passing just to waiting?

Yeah.

They're celebrating the miracle that I'm going on living.

I'm afraid one of them is going to stop celebrating.

Let's go.

I want to have a talk with them.

You think the bomb was really the passion to suit choices?

I'm sure now.

But it doesn't make sense.

Why would a guy for the bomb's own luggage?

I mean, you're going to blow him the kingdom come.

I don't know.

Maybe insurance?

Just ship his luggage and when the plane goes, he's registered his dead.

Stranger things have happened.

Never thought of that angle.

Who's in charge of this investigation?

Both of us.

Why?

My name is Stephen Bradley.

So, I want to go back to my hotel.

I'm badly shaken up.

You have no right to hold us here.

I have a lot of right to find out who tried to murder 30 people.

Then it was murder.

I knew it.

You have a copy of the passenger lessons and you're having...

All right, folks.

We'll call you up one by one.

See if you can identify this piece of yellow pig skin leather.

If you think it was your luggage, please say so.

We'll begin with you, Mr. Bradley.

Bradley, Bradley.

Bradley.

Is this your luggage? Look anything like it?

No. That wasn't mine.

All right.

Next one, please.

Come on, folks.

We need to run my kid move and come on.

30 people lined up to look at the piece of yellow leather.

Not one of them claimed it.

They kind of checked their addresses and gave them a routine...

...speal about being available for questioning and then letting go home.

That's right.

Guess the loot much more we can do tonight.

My time's just 10 past nine.

That's right.

Less than an hour ago, 30 people would have died.

Up there somewhere.

It's nothing for a loop.

Why don't you phone your report in and take off?

What about you?

No, I have a little more routine checking to do in the baggage department.

Then it turns up, I can call you.

The baggage man was reading a 10 cent comic book.

He put it down reluctantly as I approached.

What can I do for you?

You handle all the luggage?

Six to one o'clock.

Why?

Would you remember if you handled a piece of luggage made out of yellow pig skin?

Hey, you must be the fellow looking in that bombing.

You know, I got my own ideas how it happened.

It's them coming.

We'll get to the international situation in a while.

Right now, see if you can remember handling a yellow bag.

Handle may be four or five hundred bags a night not being paid enough of that.

Now I gotta start memorizing things.

Of course, green on the leather makes me think it was a glad song.

By God, now you're coming to say it.

Hey, I do remember seeing one.

Yeah, yellow ones.

Yep.

Right here on this rack tonight.

And once more, I know how it got there.

A messenger brought it.

You sure?

A positive.

Oh, wait.

Now I'll find a little slip.

Yeah, here it is.

Another messenger.

Let's see that.

Hey.

Deliver to airport terminal one pig skin glad song bag.

Look here.

Deliver to baggage room for Stephen Bradley.

Flight 36.

Stephen Bradley.

Bradley.

Yeah, that's the guy.

You better go get him, mister.

I found Bradley at his hotel.

He hadn't checked in yet.

Then I called a ton of Pearson.

There was no real welcome in his voice.

Glad you told Alex. What's up?

I found out who owns that suitcase.

Good. I'll pick him up.

Not so fast. It's Stephen Bradley.

And he's not in his hotel.

I'll get him all right.

So that's who did it.

The way he spread around there, you think he owned the airport.

Well, let's not convict him yet.

Find him first and prove it.

That's the way it's done, you know.

Save them book rules for somebody else.

Where'd you be?

I'm going to visit a 24 hour messenger service.

A maneuver company.

Have I heard of it?

No.

You will.

Three or four souped up motorcycles rested on the wall of a maneuver

messenger service.

And inside the enthusiasm to drive them, we're playing cards.

It goes that card game.

What's he missing?

I'm looking for a messenger who delivered a yellow pig skin soup case

to the airport early this evening.

No, anything about it?

That much shit that I'm a guy who took it.

Y'all pig skin.

Glad to come back.

Build a Stephen Bradley?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was the name, yeah.

Where'd you pick it up?

I always had a screwy dealer, Stephen.

Boss finds an envelope in a mail spot.

Got two bucks in it.

And he will lock it at the island and bust people.

Instructions pick up a suitcase about $6.30 and take it to the airport.

Allings and bust people.

Yeah.

But if you'd excuse me, I was kind of having a lucky streak when you came in.

Well, here's the half a bug I kept you from winning.

Oh, thanks.

Thanks.

That guy's all right.

The fact that Bradley happens off the suitcase to the airport himself

led to some interesting speculations.

And I've learned long ago in this business

that the obvious is something you've got to regard with suspicion.

It was about a quarter to ten when I got to the bust people.

The usual weary-looking travelers sat around nodding their heads.

The lady who started this evening off from me had phones from here.

There was no doubt of that.

Especially after I learned that the yellow bag

and then picked up at the same depot.

There was no of unboothed telephones.

There was a magazine and a candy stand.

I waited till the girl behind the counter

got rid of some of her customers.

Do I say it's something to you?

Any other payphones than these over here?

No.

And you make change for most of them?

Yeah, drives me nuts.

I'm going to fail to make change.

And I've got a condition.

What am I telling you?

First of all, your job gets to be pretty observant, don't you?

Yeah, tell me.

Hey, my boss don't like me talking to fellows

and working out like this.

Well, maybe you'll forgive me in this case.

I'm a special agent, federal government.

Go on, you're kidding.

I'll tell you what you do.

Don't look like that.

No square cut jaws, silly grey eyes.

Look, Miss, this is serious.

Very serious.

I get to miss you.

A little after eight o'clock tonight,

a girl phoneed me from this bus depot.

She'd been crying.

I thought maybe you'd notice that.

Oh, no.

You're trying to think.

No, did she look like?

No.

I'd say she was between 30 and 35, kind of a 60 boy.

She said she'd had to hang up.

A bus was leading me.

That would have been about five minutes past eight.

Stopped for Jersey Special.

And I think I got the girl for you.

Go on.

Well, she came in about seven thirty.

I noticed how nervous she was.

And when she came up to me and asked if anyone

had left a message with me,

so Mrs. Cohen, or Cohen,

anybody something like that.

Her eyes were red like she's been crying.

So I watched it.

You saw her make the call?

Right at the first phone.

Did you?

No, I couldn't hear what she said.

But her shoulders were so clean like she was crying.

Mrs. Cohen, or Cohen.

What did she look like?

Well, like I wish I looked.

She got here about five feet before.

Beautiful.

Thank you.

Are you writing that down?

Yeah.

Yeah, a minute.

Why am I down?

Before she left she gave me a note to give to anyone who might ask for it.

It said how.

How?

Yeah.

She didn't feel it and nothing.

So I...

I know.

I know.

You came and got the note?

No.

I still got it.

Here it is.

How?

Please come home.

What do you make of it?

Jersey bus leaves at 805.

I saw it go through the gate.

The gate goes to you?

Yeah.

A lot.

You know what?

Right.

If you ever need a job,

there's one waiting for you.

In Washington.

The girl had left the trailer easy enough

for the ten different boys out the farm.

The phone book told me there was a hell to ran

living on 96 feet in Jersey City.

Caution should have warned me that it was a little too bad, too easy.

Wavesings looked at this point.

I'd had a case four or against Bradley by morning.

Less than two and a half hours after the woman had called to tell me about the bomb.

I was standing in front of the door to her apartment.

First I thought there was no one home.

Then I heard the movement behind the door.

Is that your house?

No.

Please open the door.

Who is it?

The man you called on the phone early this evening.

I don't know you.

Who? Who?

I'd know you, Mrs. Koran, your voice.

It's very distinctive.

I've heard it only once before, but I'd know it ten years from now.

You read my voice.

I think you must say it.

You spoke to me on the telephone at my office this evening.

Yes.

I think you better go.

Mrs. Koran.

You phone me this evening from the Arlington bus depot of Warren

and a bomb would explode in a Chicago-bound plane.

No, I didn't.

I made a recording of the conversation.

As I said, Mrs. Koran, you have a very distinctive voice.

You're mistaken.

I see.

You didn't leave the apartment?

No.

I have a note here for your husband.

House.

Oh.

That is your husband's name?

Yes.

You gave it to a girl in the bus depot.

Is this your writing?

Maybe you can see now how useless it is to you.

Yes.

Yes, I gave it to her.

And you phoned me at the civil aeronautics authority?

Well, I tried to stop it.

I made hell not to do it.

But she's like a crazy man.

Better give me a description of him.

You've got to pick him up.

It's no use.

You won't find him.

Why not?

He said he was going to take his own life.

I got his description and phoned it into police headquarters.

From then I learned that Bradley had not yet been located.

All the while I'd been on the phone, Mrs. Koran sat there crying, saw.

And Sergeant, if you get anything you can phone me at...

What's the number here, Mrs. Koran?

Exeter 1074.

Exeter 1074.

Okay.

Thanks.

Yes.

And it's my fault.

It was the quarrel.

It started off like another quarrel.

Husband and wife just agreed.

Would you like to tell me about it?

I suppose I'll have to sooner or later.

My husband and Stephen Bradley started the union machine shops together.

They were useful partners to begin with.

They did exceptionally well on the family.

No, not at first.

Then...

And how did something?

He was some of the company's funds. He gambled with it.

And Bradley found out he wanted the money put back at once and he would prosecute.

Well, how could he raise that much?

Bradley took over house half of the business and paid.

And then?

He lost all of his initiatives.

He became a labor and the business he created.

Bradley used him for all he could.

We quarreled about it.

We always referred to him in the past tense.

He did it.

I did.

And Bradley had sold out to an Eastern con line for $150,000.

Bradley hadn't said anything to the deal.

It's completed.

And that night, how can I open work?

I'd never seen him in the past.

Oh, just a minute.

I'll put the sign to the suit.

Hi, honey.

How come you brought your things home from the office?

I talked about it now and dead.

Oh, something's wrong.

Oh, not now.

Well, you didn't actually separate, please.

It's always not now when you listen dead.

Come on, tell me how.

All right, all right.

I lost my job.

I'm out of work.

Can't.

Lost your job.

And I'll get another one.

Well, why did Bradley find you?

Well, Bradley.

New people took over this month.

Oh, what new people?

Why did you never start up at the beginning?

What's new people?

Bradley sold a business.

They didn't want me, so I'm through.

Look, that business is half yours.

You have built it up.

Oh, look, we've been through this before.

How can you met things like this happen to you without a fight?

What kind of a man are you?

What was I supposed to do?

It's Bradley over the head.

Oh, no.

That takes nerves.

So he got to double-deam.

And he didn't say anything to you?

Oh, come up to me after it was all over.

And said goodbye.

He's going to the coast to live.

It's on tomorrow night.

And you just stood there and said, good luck, Steve.

Oh, hell, this is the last car.

I can't go on living with a man who will fight back

as famous and confident.

And after that, am I supposed to do killing?

Yeah.

Maybe that's what you want me to do.

Tell him.

You're weakly jealous, Steve.

Go on, let him step on us.

Howard.

All right, all right.

I'll show you.

Until the last time you're going to call me that.

What are you going to do?

If you want.

Kill him.

It'll be Bradley.

Who said anything about killing?

Just go up to him and demand what's coming to you.

Half of that money is yours.

Ah, you know what?

That's going to do.

Oh, hell, three.

Talk, Sam.

I'm talking to you for the first time in my life.

Feel it.

Hell.

Come back.

Hell.

The bomb.

I'll put it in the suitcase and maybe go with him and put it in the locker.

He drove me to the machine's location.

I got the envelope there with the key in it.

He had a gun with him and he'd be killed.

But why a bomb?

Why jeopardize the lives of 30 passengers?

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

I don't want to.

Yeah, find Bradley or Koran. No, I thought maybe you'd eat me up there. No, I don't think so concentrate on Koran

He's got a gun and when he finds out Bradley wasn't killed he'll go after him. He's the man we want now

All right, we'll keep at it. Daddy wasn't killed

But the bomb. He was grounded on a count of fog. None of the passengers were aboard

Then nobody was killed

What is it? That fog saved the lives

No, he's telling stuff for nothing. Oh poor hell even this one final gesture couldn't come off right for him

I'm not so sure he's dead Mrs. Koran

And may have been at the airport when the bomb went off

Maybe looking for Bradley now with the gun. No, he's dead idea. I tell you he killed us

Oh

Poor woman was in a state of semi-historia and I was only too glad to bring her some sedative pills. She kept an ametic and said

She kept two of them and fell back exhausted on the count. I found headquarters

Still no news of either Bradley or Koran

It was him that night and I was getting a little drowsy myself

Well, I heard someone turning the door now

Oh

You stood in the doorway a moment

No old old man in his day

He showed his tag and there was a look of utter detection about him

He blinked stupidly at me and he walked over to the woman on the couch

Better was her

Claire

Are you how Koran?

Let's talk to him. Claire. Okay. That's where we're going. What?

What do you want me? How? I hope you're right. How?

I couldn't do it. I couldn't go through them. Hey

He couldn't do it

He didn't have the nerve

That's a matter with her. I'd go through the letter B. She's upset hysterical

Poor kid. It's all my doing but Claire baby. Get away. Let me don't touch me. I hate you

You've never done anything right. Have you never?

I'm arresting you, Mr. Koran. Me?

Of course. That's pretty obvious, isn't it? What are you talking about? He doesn't know

He's about the bombs. The bomb you put in Bradley suitcase. Oh, that's what I've been trying to tell right I

Couldn't go through her today

You know thinking about all those people are women and some kids and

No fault of yours that they're alive at this moment

The plane hadn't been held up on account of fog. I don't know what you're talking about

I just couldn't go through it and then the stand I was going through was like

Claire says I got no guts. I don't have to take you in you're under arrest

You caught me. Yeah

Don't listen to me look this this is the way it was. I took the suitcase to people. I left it in the locker

I came back later and I took the bomb on. I'm like I'm telling you the truth

Well, I won't do you any good

Haven't you even got the things but miss what you've done? Look, I brought it home

Yeah, I just connected the fuse. I put it in this this drawer over here. Come on. I'll show you

Right in here

Well

I'm going to phone the police to come for you, mr. Karan. I put the phone down

Give me that guy. I mean it. I took the bomb out of the suitcase and somebody put it back there

All right

Well, when you listen somebody put that bomb back there. How long do you think you last long enough?

What you trying to follow me?

I told the police and asked them to fake out the neighborhood then I went out after him

I figured he'd be hiding someplace close by

I felt uneasy about leading Mrs. Karan alone in the apartment so after about 15 minutes I went back

I heard some movement behind her door

I was sure Karan had come back and I wanted to get in quietly so I could get in from behind

Someone was standing close to Mrs. Karan, but it wasn't her husband. It was Bradley

even Bradley

Bradley that's that old man who's looking for help. Oh

Find him is no

Where have you been Bradley police have been looking for you?

Who knew it was how I put that bomb in the suitcase?

Didn't you, please?

Yes, I wanted to squirt my own way

Welcome back

well an interesting case and

A story that really does begin with the bang the

More melodramatic moments are a bit out of place on the silent man

But other than that, I thought it was a decent episode

Now let's see how not beat handled it seven months later here from September 4th

1952 is

Hi, this is Randy Stone. I cover the night beat for the Chicago star

In a newspaper office the night scenes are specially reserved for all sorts of scruly crank calls

And if every wildtale that came in over the telephone was tracked down

There wouldn't be enough reporters left around to make up a game of solitude

This yarn started with one of those calls, but it ended differently and how differently it ended

It was eight o'clock in the evening the heavy rain was falling and I found an excuse to sit it out by polishing my next day's monumental trivia for the column

I was looking for the capitolay on my typewriter on the phone right

Star I'm talking

I'm listening

Denver

What's your name?

If you're on the level you give me a man

You're in a bus thief or which one?

Well, what kind is the flight lead?

You say eight thirty

Well, lady you phone exactly ten minutes too late 20 minutes to nine right now

Oh

I repeat some nights are good for a dozen crank calls, but I couldn't take chances with this one. I

call the control tower at the airport

Oh, this is Randy Stone Chicago star you had an eight thirty flight to Denver

Oh, you better contact that pilot immediately and tell him to make an emergency landing wherever he is

Haven't all the passengers and let no one near the plane till the police get there

Where is she now? Oh, good. We'll keep her there and warn all personnel to keep clear and I'll be up there as soon as I can

So you do as I say

I told police headquarters and they sent a radio card to pick me up in five minutes

I was sitting in the back seat with sergeant's call ski while the driver ripped up the streets at 70 miles an hour

I don't know if there's anything I can't stand Randy as far as how Italian got sergeant

855 and me off 30 20 minutes ago I was getting a ride home when the call came through oh there she is you can stop here

Come on

I don't mind telling you Randy. I'm scared. Yeah me too. I hope that call was a foamy

I

It was a bomb all right in the big one the explosion threw me to the ground

When the earth stopped causing me around I looked at the burning DC4 and people were pouring towards the right of the main

Zootie I saw a jeep with a fire crew race for the plane. I fought my way back to my feet. You heard Randy? I'm shaking up. That's all wrong

We better get over there cost me. Yeah

All right, all right, all right folks step back step back. Let's clear the field now

Back inside the waiting room all of you

The fire boys already have it lick. Yeah

Looks like a ghost lying there

Well

What do we do now sergeant? Yeah, poke around a bit. It's safe now

It's a mega report on this

See I'd be boys will take over in the morning, but I got to make a report anyways

Well, exactly what are you looking for?

Bomb fragments maybe

Maybe a hunk of a container the bomb was in

Oh, there's a sum of this

What's this? Let's see

Could be a bomb fragment

You see anymore don't handle them prince print you mean prince. It stay on air from the explosion like that. Yeah

Crazy

Fragment just went the other

And this one is embedded in a piece of leather yellow pig skin leather

Take the bomb was in this bag. Maybe maybe not, but it's something to go on

Now let's go talk to the passengers. The person

Why would a passenger put a bomb in his own luggage if he knew he's gonna be blown to kingdom come

Nice guy who ever did it

All right folks now I settle down you've got a little talking to do

Everybody here there was to be a passenger in flight 63

Obviously my name is Stephen Bradley. So we're badly shaken up some of us need medical care

You have no right to hold us here only to write to find out who tried to murder 40 people all right

Brandy I'll handle this but then it was murder. I knew it now now take it easy folks and you'll all be out of here in a few minutes

I said quiet everyone

Now we'll call you up one by one all you have to do is tell us of this piece of yellow leather pig skin was part of your luggage

But he had to identify

Okay, Bradley you're in a hurry. We'll start with you

Yes

36 potential corpses lined up and filed past the piece of yellow leather none of them clinger

Then sergeant Koski checked their addresses and gave them the routine

Speel about being available for further questioning and he let them go

Well, it's not much more like and do tomorrow the aeronautics girl take over now phone my report in

My watch right. It's just quarter to ten. Yeah, it's right

You coming back to town with me one of us okay with you are stick around here do a little checking on my own

Okay, but I tell you what if anything hot comes up call me at home. Don't fold it into headquarters. I don't want him to think you know. I'll perish the thought

Koski gave me his home phone number and left

A little prodding on the baggage man remembered seeing the yellow pig skin suitcase and then came the first big break

The baggage man found a delivery slip from the Minerva messenger service testifying that the fact that they delivered in good order

One pig skin leather suitcase to be checked on the ticket of one of the passengers just to Stephen Bradley

I found Bradley at his hotel he hadn't checked in yet

Then I called sergeant Koski. There was no real welcome in his voice

No, no, but I

I found out who owned that yellow bag Stephen Bradley one of the passengers

That's not going to be that easy. He's not at the address. He gave us

It's 25 to 11

At the Minerva messenger company 24 hours service you will

The

The brakes were with us the Minerva messenger company had a complete record of the pickup on the suitcase

They found an envelope on the mail slot that evening with two dollar bills and a key in it

And the tight Britain unsigned noted instructed them to pick up a suitcase in the locker at the Arlington bus depot and take it to the airport

To be checked on Stephen Bradley's ticket

It was nearly 11 o'clock when I got to the bus station

And near a roll of long-unbued telephones there was a candy and cigars

Yes, sir something for you

Uh those are the only payphones here. Uh huh no closed booth

When it's quiet you should know some of the conversations I listen to

I guess you make change for a lot of them. Yeah, I drive me nuts

My boss don't like me talking to me during working hours. Well, uh, I'm disqualified. I'm a reporter reporter

No kidding no kidding

I'm trying to locate a woman who phone me from here. She's about

Go by 29. Are you working now? Yeah, you know what you look like. I don't know. I don't know

She'd been crying. I'd say she was in her early 30s

Kind of a sexy boys 20 to 9 you say she was crying or toward the end of the conversation she started crying

I think I know who you mean I talked to her. I go on. She came in about 15 minutes after eight

Maybe 20 after she got scared like she'd run away from somebody so I watched her

That's my slow time. You said you'd talk to her

She asked me if anyone had left a note for Mrs. Koran or Koran

Some name like that. Oh, Mrs. Hal Koran. That's what it was

You think she was Mrs. Koran? I know it

She said if anybody asked for her but she'd be back a few minutes later she made the call

It must have been to you. She burst out crying and hung up. What did she look like?

Like I wish that I looked

Doc here 5 to 3 of 4

Beautiful figure

Maybe you're looking for her. She was alone. Nobody with her that I know us and she got on the bus all along

You wouldn't happen to know what bus? Sure, the Lake Forest bus. She asked me what time it left and I told her

Hey, that should make it a cinch. Her name is Mrs. Hal Koran and she lives in Lake Forest. All right, that's almost too easy

It looks like she loaded you with information knowing that I'd be around

In a way

Maybe I don't blame her. Oh, what's your name? Narion

Why? Another story breaks. I'll share my byline with you. I don't know exactly what you mean, but I'm all for it

I was looking for Mrs. Hal Koran

The girl who'd called me from the bus station to so accurately prophecy the bomb explosion on the Denver bomb plane

And she left the trail easy enough for a tender foot boy scout to follow

In less than an hour I was pounding on her door

Grab to your house open the door please. Who is it? Let me in

What do you want want to talk to you?

What do you want? I'm Randy Stone. Mrs. Koran. I don't know you

Please get out. Are you called me earlier this evening at the Chicago Star? Remember?

Oh, you're mistaken Mrs. Koran. You warned me that a bomb would explode in the Denver bomb plane

Well, it did

What plane? I don't know what you're talking about. Well

Let's face it you're not very good at this sort of thing Mrs. Koran

He gave yourself a way half a dozen times first. You made your phone call from the bus people

I found out which one it was by tracing the baggage back to the Arlington. That's where you call from

You're crazy. I wasn't out of the apartment all day

And you walked up to a bright young girl with the candy counter and asked her if there was any messages for a Mrs. Hal Koran

I talked to that girl. She described you to a T

once or more

You you have no right to talk to me like this. I'm just trying to refresh your memory

You took the like forest bus correct? No

It could have made it easier if you wanted me to find you and I think you did

I never thought of

Stupid stupid you wanted me to stop that plan and get to the person responsible didn't I tried to stop in my big

Hell not to do it, but

It was like a crazy man

Your husband he engineered this little thing for hell pull mixed up hell

Well give me a description of him. We got to have him pick up. No it's too late. I tell you

He said he was ready

To take his own life after the bomb went off

NBC is bringing you night feet starring frank love joy as Randy Stone

This month of September many thousands of children will be going back to school

Four times daily these children will be walking to and from school

You are urged to be careful to be watchful to be safe

In one year's time 61,000 children were killed are injured by motor vehicles

Watch for them as they get on and off school buttons

Watch for children playing on the sidewalk and crossing the streets going to and from school

Remember this a child made dare so drive with care

And now back tonight beef and Randy stone. I got a description and folded into police headquarter

I asked him a sergeant kalski had brought in Bradley and they told me he hadn't

All a while I bet on the phone. Mrs. Koran sat there crying

Sergeant if you locate kalski tell him I'm at there. What's the number here Mrs. Koran?

Every green three one oh seven four. It's evergreen three one oh seven four. I get

Dead. It's my fault. It's just like I did it. There was no point in blaming yourself. Mrs. Koran

It was the quarrel

How and Bradley started the business together they were equal partners

Mrs. Koran I'm a reporter maybe you'd better not say anything. No

Just like I killed him I got to talk to someone. It may not be dead

About about six years ago

How gambled with company funds Bradley found out and said he prosecuted the money wasn't returned

Work at how raised six thousand dollars. Oh, that's quite a amount of green bags

Like they made a deal

Bradley was to get how's interest and

agreed to keep how on as one of the shop foreman

After that he lost all his initiative. He stayed a laborer in a business. He created a beggin to break away

But he wouldn't the quarrel about it often

I didn't know it would lead to this

Maybe you better try and have a rest

That's my how came home to work and never seen him look so old and beaten

You

Ellen

Hi, honey. Hi

How come you bought all your things home from the office? Let's not talk about it now and did

Have something's wrong. Not now. I have to suffer. Please. It's always not now with you isn't it tell me how

All right, I lost my job how to work and

Lost your job

How I'll get another one

Bradley fired you why it wasn't Bradley with new people a new people

Why isn't you never start from the beginning what new people Bradley sold them the business. They didn't want me so I'm through

Bradley sold out

That business is half yours how we've been over that before without a fight you let him sell out without opening your mouth

What kind of a man are you as I supposed to do get him over the hand?

Y'all that takes news

dirty

And he didn't say anything to you. It was all over

Oh came up this morning and said goodbye. It's going to the coast to live tomorrow night

Costa

With your money and you just stood there and said good luck Bradley

Oh, how this is the last straw. I can't go on living with a man who won't fight back

Finally in company. That's enough of that. Can I kill him? Is that what you want you kill you you coward

I'm no coward Ellen and I'll prove it to you

I'm going out now. How come back? What are you going to do? What you want kill Bradley?

Kill Steve oh who said anything about killing just go up to him and the man what's coming to you

That's not what you really want is it Ellie. Oh try talking since now. I'm talking you through the first time in my life. How

Come back. How

Oh

And this was last last I didn't know he meant it

This morning

He brought it home. He had a gun too

He said he killed me if I tried to win the fear it was crazy. What did he do with the bomb?

Put it in the suitcase and made me go with him to the bus depot

But this is a case in the locks

Later he had a messenger pick up the key check the bag through to the plane

But why a bomb why?

I take the lives of 40 people to murder one man. How did you lost his mind?

Wouldn't help to you. They just watch me every minute and after the messenger came

He said goodbye to me

He said as soon as Bradley was dead he'd kill himself

We've got to find them when he finds out Bradley wasn't killed he'll go gunning for him

But

Bradley isn't dead

But the bomb you said it went off what a dead that the plane was still on the ground your call was in time after all

Then nobody was killed

What's the matter? Don't you understand? Nobody was killed nobody

I'll kill himself and nothing for that

Even this last thing couldn't come off right for him

Well, I'm not so sure he's dead Mrs. Koran

And he had been at the airport when the bomb went off he may be looking for Bradley now

And with a gun he's dead. I tell you

He's killed himself

The outburst tapered down and Mrs. Koran fell back exhausted on the couch

I called the police again still known news not a Bradley nor Koran have been located

Mrs. Koran had fallen asleep and I sat opposite her and waited

I heard someone opening the door and I turned around he stood there in the doorway

An old old man in his early 30

His shoulders sagged and there was a look about a objection about him

And he splinked stupidly at me and then he walked slowly over to the woman on the couch

What's the matter with her?

Now let her alone let her alone. She's exhausted

You're how Koran? I got a talk to her

Helen, wake up

Oh, what do you want? It's me

How?

Tell you you didn't I couldn't do it. I couldn't go through with it

Why he couldn't do it? He couldn't do it

She's hysterical. That's what's the matter with her

Oh, shit, it's my doing

Helen, this is your way from me

Don't touch me, I hate you

Helen, listen, I'm arresting you, Mrs. Koran, a citizen's arrest

Mary

What's wrong?

Well, just to remind you, the bomb and Bradley suitcase

If that plane had them ingrotted, your wife hadn't called me

What are you talking about? I couldn't go through it, did you understand? I was going to

But like Ellen says

I got no guts when it comes to a pinch

I got no guts

How lying through you and it's good having to even get the space to admit what you've done

I took it out of the lock and brought it home

Early this afternoon

You were out Ellen, I disconnected the fuse and I put it in this drawer and that's the truth

Right in here, come here mister, I'll show you

Well

It was here

I put it here myself

Oh, it's funny, it's funny, the mess he makes the things

I'm following the police to come and get you, Koran

Put that phone down

Oh, give me that gun, Koran

I mean it, I put the bomb in that drawer

Somebody took it out

That gun, please

How, what's the use?

Helen, somebody took the bomb out of the drawer or anything

They put it, mister, I'm leaving

How long do you think you'll last?

Long enough

Don't put a phone in

I found the cops again, I brought them up to date and then I would look in for it

I figured he might be hiding close by

In a few minutes the neighborhood was swarming with police so I went back to stay with Mrs. Koran

I heard some movement behind her door

I was sure it was Koran

I wanted to get in quietly so that I could grab them from behind

A man was standing there, Mrs. Koran, when I got inside, but it wasn't her husband

Bradley, what?

It was the storm

Oh, did you hear me?

No, no, we haven't gotten yet

It won't be long though

This is the newspaper man you told me about Helen

Yes

Well, you've been keeping yourself, Bradley, a lot of uniform men have been looking for you

Oh, he knew at the airport that Helen put the bomb there, didn't you see?

Yes, I recognized the letter

I'd given that back to him for a birthday present

Why didn't you tell the sergeant?

I wanted to squirt my own way

I tried to stop it, I tried all I could

She tried all right

How?

I locked the door

Line up against the wall, all of you

Give me that gun for then

Get back

I'll shoot you

I'm in it for the cops will be here in a minute

So I need a minute

How?

Don't, don't, put the gun down

We can settle this without guns, Graham

It came to me, all of a sudden

A few minutes ago, I got the total

I did take that bomb off

He lied, he never came home all day

So I asked myself

Who put it back in the suitcase and had it delivered

The answer was so simple, I had to laugh

Helen, she took it back

No, no, no

You're not on trial here, savior defense for the right place

I'd suggest that you don't move

People be trans to stop me now, gets killed

Why bring Helen into this?

Why don't you be man enough to take me?

Yes, myself, that too

Why would Helen?

Anybody go to stop him?

Then it hit me

Helen's been working me up on Bradley

Not because he was running out on me

But on her, get it

He's crazy

When I told her Bradley was leaving, I couldn't understand

Why she went wild like that

And I started remembering little things

My useless trips Bradley would send me on

Stuff like walking into a room and seeing him laughing about something

You know that special kind of laugh

And you're being ridiculous

When he showed he was going to run out on her, she wanted him dead

And she took the bomb out of the drawer, rigged it up again, and sent it to the airport

You see the way it added up?

Lies, every word of the lies

You've proved all that in court and you're in good shape, Helen

I can't wait for the court to straighten my accounts

I just got the total tonight, and I got to pay it off

Steve, he's going to kill you

Ah, look, you're not yourself

What do you want?

Money, I'll give you some

Lies

Steve will make it right, will you help?

He will

Tonight

Tonight, I got the picture

Bradley, Ellen and Hal, Ellen, Bradley and Hal

Hal always left

No, no, no, it's not true

No, will it all came to me?

After I left you a little while ago, Ellen

I didn't go running through the streets looking for a place to hide

I went to the apartment house next door

I sat down on the fire escape

Open up an air

Keep quiet all of you

Know what room I could see from the fire escape?

This one, Ellen

I saw Bradley come in

Hal, you...

Oh, Hal, I missed

It didn't mean anything

You ran up to him

And I saw him look on your face

Let's say, look, I used to see when we were first married

Okay

How do you know?

Hold it, Tom, he's got a gun, shut up

You took that look away from me and gave it to Bradley

That made it a clean sweep for him, my business, my job, my wife

Hal, I'll make it right, just give me a chance

You will, Bradley

You don't owe me anything

It's Ellen

What she's taken from me, there's only one way to square

Me?

Hal, are you...

You've got to kill me?

No, Anlis

I believe the court will, too

You love me, Hal, don't you love me?

Yes, Ellen

I love you

Yes, you and me

Corrine

Goodbye, Ellen

You did it

You killed her

Yeah

Yes, I was in the middle of that one

Now I've got to write it up for tomorrow morning's eye open

Now whose point of view will I handle it from?

Hal, I couldn't do that

He's a murderer, you wouldn't want to sympathize with him

And Bradley's

What's he done that a million other men haven't?

And Ellen

That reminds me of a song

Please don't talk about me when I'm gone

Now we better leave Ellen out of this room

How about a nice bit on the green exhibit at the museum?

Welcome back! I have to admit when I heard this episode of not beat

I was taking it back a bit just because it seemed so different from the other episodes

It wasn't till later that I heard the silent men episode

It makes a lot more sense of it

As a story, it tries to take something that was told for a federal law enforcement officer

And tell it for a reporter

And I think they're able to cover most things pretty well

There are some things though that just are awkward

Brandy Stone making a citizen's arrest

Like, that never happened in any other episode of not beat

Now to understand why this episode ended up on not beat

You have to understand what was going on with that series

It had been sponsored by perhaps Blue Ribbon Beer

Throughout the summer of 1952

But in September that sponsorship was over

And it was essentially at this point a sustained network program

That would leave the air before October

So there's a sense in which these four episodes in September were effectively

Playing out the string for the series

So if you're Warren Lois and you've already got the script you wrote for the silent men

It's like let's turn this into a not beat episode

And it worked to get the job done

But it doesn't come off as very consistent with this series

As evidenced by the somewhat rambling into the episode

Which was trying to get that not beat

Ending when Randy would philosophically sum up something about the case

Often with keen insights here it just felt like he was rambling on about

The one thing I will say for this episode is that the domestic plot works a lot better

Even though that's still not typical for not beat the way it played out

It was also interesting that we had another case where an actor

In this case Paul Freeze played essentially the identical character in both episodes
