Good, you're later. Now they haven't got a fair department anymore. Does that 85 make stolen?
What?
Edmund O'Brien. In the not-a-transcribed adventure of the man with the action-packed expense account.
America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. Yours truly. Johnny Dollar.
The expense account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to Mr. Ed Zana,
a mutual liability company, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting of expenditures
incurred during investigation of burglary, a technical policy issued to Edward's favorite department store,
Boston, Massachusetts, or the 85 little means. The expense account, item, $1.90. Taxi-fair to
Stuart Street entrance of Edward's favorite department store or a police emergency ambulance
was standing open. Two police officers were helping a man in a white coat load a blanket
wrapped figure under the ambulance litter. I got my first information from the intern.
I watched up. I only worked a wagon. I pick up where everything else left off.
Guy's name's Cronin, he's a night watchman here. Dead? About an inch away. We already get my
transfusion upstairs. The bullets don't kill him, they expose your will. What does that mean?
Guy's holding his chest, he's also got frostbite. Somebody plug him, let him lay in the
cold storage vault where they keep the furs. How long ago? Oh, who knows. I'd place he
wind it up, let's get out of here.
And a started group of reporters and cameramen seem to be converging sort of freight elevator just
inside the store entrance. I converge with them. We all run up to the fifth floor
by two plane clothesmen from Berberley's detailed stuff. I showed my ID card, argued for five minutes
and finally got a frown and a thumb jerk. I walked across 35 yards of expensive
coffering through a cubby hole office door into a large room. Standing in front of a huge,
refrigerated vault was a tall man in a black set. His name was Delaney. We shook hands.
Cronin, I think, darling. Some guys walked out of here last night with 85 min coats. It's a mess.
You got a cigarette? Yeah, sure, here. Thanks.
Darling's going to be closed all day while the burglary squad goes over it with everything they've
got. You can do what you have to do too. Thanks, lieutenant. I appreciate it.
What do you think? A freight elevator is there. Hey, there are both. I don't know.
I must add a panel truck or a big limo in that alley. Yeah, I noticed that on my way up.
To keep any guy hidden from the street and they'd be able to work without being bothered.
I got a man coming down to check for tires, thanks, but it won't do any good.
Whoever they were, they did a quiet and they did it neat.
Neat? Yeah. A quiet? Yeah, you mean that night watchman, Cronin?
Well, that must have been some noise when he walked into them and got shot.
I hope he lives to tell us something. He's in tough shape.
How about this? The vault?
Yes, like the banks have only smaller and they can also hang meat in it.
Not pride or blast it or cut into, just plain old fashioned tumbler work.
Sandpapered fingers and all. I wouldn't surprise me.
Somebody was plenty good and not even much of a Jimmy or pride tool to feel an edge.
Just click to unplug this nice as your pleas and 14 little tumblers bow back.
The doors from open.
I thought that kind of thing stopped with Jimmy Valentine's who today?
Who reported it?
Guy named Jimmy 3 Stronger now, manager of the third apartment.
Come on, he's in his office now giving a statement of a couple of my boys.
You can have a listen in.
Hey, you're picking, darling.
How could you have me?
Absolutely.
Jimmy 3 Stronger now.
Aha.
Who's having de la reme?
Hey, Mr. Stronger, this is Mr. Darling.
He represents your insurance company.
Oh, you're a kind of a relationship Mr. Darling above all else I am glad to make.
Aha.
85 lean coats while you're the $300,000 coin of the realm.
You have a cost broad check for sale, yeah?
No.
What?
The adjuster will do that, Mr. Stronger now.
I'm an investigator, but don't worry.
We keep by week, month by month, 14 years.
I get two words from the insurance company.
Two words.
Hey, premium.
Now is Stronger now starting to say back in two words.
Say, Stronger now.
Believe me, Mr. Stronger now.
Your money's waiting for you in a vault and a bank in Hartford,
when nobody can get it, but you.
Whoa, blah, blah, blah.
I suppose you go right on with your statement, Mr. Stronger now.
And we have to have it, you know.
Why is my age for making this direct?
I answer you.
Customer telephone's provided.
Send over me in court right away, Mr. Stronger.
As I send, night comes, you wear code to party.
To breakfast next morning, she's also wearing code,
maybe eggs she's using to party after day
and to cocktail Sunday, also Monday.
Aha.
My husband does not like code.
I'm sending back, Mr. Stronger now.
You can have a tell what people will do next.
I'll see Mr. Stronger now, Mr. Stronger now.
Look, if you'll just answer a few questions.
Morning, even as I arise, comes to me a feeling of doom.
Yes, yes.
Well, now about something is going to happen bad, I said to myself.
And when I get here, no, no, even before I get here, I slip and fall.
No, no, even before that parking ticket for too long pass.
No, no, even before that.
You went on like that for quite a while.
And the police denographer took down every word.
His whole testimony typed up into 23 single space pages.
But only the following was of any use.
Stroganoff arrived at the store, approximately 845,
found of all door open and inside the wounded watchman
Cronin, also the main code's gone.
Stroganoff notified insurance company.
Stroganoff notified police in that order.
Expense account, item.
$1.35 for two hand sandwiches, two bottles of beer,
all of which I shared with Lieutenant Delaney and Stroganoff's office.
No, times that.
Highs.
Jewels, trucks, cars, banks.
But this is the best so far.
A real 14-carat double-bestered,
a number one dilly.
That's what it is, Donna.
How'd they get in that safe?
They just open it up and walk in the same way you're walking
your own front door, Lieutenant.
But how?
Who's that good?
Who?
Well, there's a creepy kid.
They always say he's that good.
And we both know a creepy guy 12 years ago at Denomore.
And there was Dancing Dan Marathon.
Dancing Dan?
He couldn't open a two-bit padlock if he had the key.
Who is good, Johnny?
Who could do it?
I wish I knew.
Stroganoff, the only one in the store, knows the combo.
The only one.
And what I don't know.
But you aren't taking any chances.
Didn't I feed two of them and tell them out of here?
You've got your life here, didn't you?
And by the way, didn't you put in a call to your office
and having checked on?
You've got your life, I didn't have a cop one.
All the time, we'll go.
Tell Amy, yeah, yeah, I'll hire you.
I'll give it to him.
Yeah.
All right, thanks.
Hospital, don't.
The night watchman.
Ronan died 10 minutes ago without saying a word.
He was hoping he'd be able to fill in some gaps.
And he does.
At least one.
Which one?
The other watchman's story about playing the radio.
Part of the watchman.
Now, reading.
Oh, I'm sorry, darling.
Maybe you passed him on.
Well, tell me about him.
Is he shot too?
Oh, no, no, no.
We questioned him pressing this morning.
You see, Ronan made the rounds and readie held down the office.
Readie didn't know nothing about anything last night.
He was listening to his radio in his office downstairs.
What gap does that show?
And that says, Ronan got it with a 32 minutes bit.
They don't make much noise and a man leaning into a radio close.
Readie, huh?
Well, where can I find him?
Right here, he's waiting in the locker room.
Why, do you want to talk to him?
Yeah.
Mine?
I'll help yourself, darling.
Thanks.
Oh, darling, yeah?
You're looking for $300,000 with a mink coat.
I'm looking for a killer.
Don't be a wise guy when you do your poking around, huh?
I'll, uh, I'll try to keep my nose clean, look at it.
Yeah? Hello?
You, I'll readie.
You another cop?
No way, yeah.
In what way?
Insurance investigator.
All right, Mr. Insurance investigator.
Am I supposed to tell you something?
A little tip for whole thing?
No, Mr. Nightwatchman.
You're just supposed to tell me how things went for you last night.
Well, that's my office from 10 to 6 when Ho went to bed.
Got picked up by two big, flat-footed coffers at 730.
And here I am.
How things go with you last night?
You sound a little put out, Readie.
Or are you used to places being heisted where you work?
What kind of a nasty crack is that?
What'd you see in here last night while you were doing all your nightwatching?
Nothing.
No freight elevator moving?
No.
No sounds on the stairs?
No.
And you didn't hear the shots.
It's like Chrono.
No, I did.
Why?
Because I sit in my office and listen to disc golfers.
Radio's level of smother a lot of noise.
Wrong answers.
Well, the cops like it.
I don't.
Give me a better one.
I'll have to look for it.
But I'll find it, Mr. Shoew.
Shoew.
You'll never find those guys who trumped off of those coats last night.
You sound awful sure of that.
I am.
You spend all your time on someone like me trying to make up not enough
and just to show everybody how good you are.
Readie, if you're clean, you haven't got anything to worry about.
Oh, maybe, but answer me this.
Who's going to say when a guy's clean?
When he's right or wrong?
A lot of filing cabinets in a building somewhere.
Answer me, investigator.
Who knows?
Who's going to say?
Well, let me alone.
Just let me alone.
Who's going to say?
President Barack Obama.

I didn't know what to make about it already,
but I didn't know I wanted to know more about it.
At the personnel office, I pulled out an application card.
It looked good enough and I suddenly put it back.
I had a hunch and I headed for the Middleton Safe Company.
The president and chief designer of the Middleton Safe Company
was standing under a blue light in the center of a newly completed boss.
He seemed lost in the huge room of shiny,
cleaning metal all around him.
Please excuse me for not receiving it in my office, Mr. David.
In fraction days?
Yes, something like that.
Now, this one, this is what I call the big haze.
The use of a linty, completed a fort now to go for the firm, a thousand-medicine bankers.
You work on the safe and vult yourself in the middle?
Indeed I do.
The drama of it catching me is a use.
To compose and weld and conform method and to an impregnable stronghold.
Oh, what's fascinating, eh?
Yes, yes, of course.
Fine method of case hard and perfectly alloyed or high on steel.
Strengthens the power.
Strengthens it.
But then I bore you, sir.
And now then, why are we meeting?
So you can tell me something about safe involves, Mr. Middleton?
Well, I guess I could just, but I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific.
All right.
Tell me, tell me about the kind of vult you manufactured
to the L Wood Favour Department, sir.
A vult was called.
Oh, yes, yes, yes, sir.
A vult, oh, yes, of course.
What precisely do you wish to know about that vult?
I wish someone could open it without knowing the combination.
Oh, and impossible occurrence.
Have you read the morning paper?
What about them?
That particular vult was open last night and all the furs taken.
It was what do you say?
Do you think what that's important?
It happens.
And that's why I'm here.
Yeah, this is part of the old DNA, Mr. Dollar.
Of course, it was a thorough account for my organization.
Of course.
And I should be glad to finish you with any information that might be helpful.
I'd like to know how the combination was set and who knows it.
But I'd have to know the serial numbers on that particular vult.
Yes, try these.
Oh, well, you're a very efficient man, Mr. Dollar.
I see you've jotted them down.
Hey, well, that's what's in my office and looked them up.
Oh, no, no, no, no, sir.
That won't be necessary.
I recognize these two.
D453C.
Oh, D.
Well, D stands for Dena.
And Mr. Dena's set the final combination.
Mr. Dena?
That my chief engineer for years.
And who else besides him would know it?
Myself and the person top authority at Elwood Fabricant.
I don't know what'd be struggling on.
Anyone else here?
No, sir.
I'd like to talk to Mr. Dena then.
Well, I'm afraid that's quite in pop.
Oh.
Albert Dena has been dead for 70 years.
Up to and including that point, I had a whole lot of nothing to go on.
But by the time I got back to Boyle Street heading for my hotel, things began to happen.
A police car pulled up at the curb and a familiar set for our top of the familiar head leaned out of the window.
Hey, Dollar, yo.
Yeah, hello, Delaney.
Up in.
Somebody got you.
Hey, uh, how about you might be interested in a guy?
What guy?
You know, when we found floating down the Charles River an hour ago?
With it.
I don't know.
But it looked like he's got the same enemies as a night watchman named Cronin.
Huh?
Yeah.
And we're 232 slugged in him.
We wouldn't have picked it so fast, only that's the second pair of Benzville Ballistics in one day.
And they match like your two front seats.
The same gun killed the night watchman and the guy in the river.
In just a moment, we will return to the second act of Johnny Dollar.
But first, it's a family night on the Bing Crosby show.
Again, this Wednesday, brother Bob and Bing's son, Gary,
already have scored with the growner this month.
And tomorrow night, Bing's 14-year-old twin,
Philip and Dennis make their debut as a guest team.
You'll hear the kids trying to sell dad a membership in the Bing Crosby fan club,
a scheme that backfires.
And you'll hear some rare and wonderful singing.
CBS cordially invites you to hear the Bing Crosby show.
This Wednesday and every Wednesday,
over most of the same CBS station.
Now, with our star, Edmund O'Brien,
we return to the second act of yours truly, Johnny Dollar.
I spent half the night at the city morgue and Talisa quarters in Lieutenant Delaney,
examining the body they found in the Charles River and trying to identify them.
All the labors were ripped out of his clothes and the laundry marks were cut off.
We were less with just his physical characteristics and fingerprints.
The mug file didn't duplicate him,
and the prince didn't check with anything in town.
We'll be sentenced to the FBI and Washington.
I got to my hotel at 4am to get some sleep, and I got it.
Three of the shortest hours where I've ever had.
Dollar?
Oh, it's Dollar when he comes in.
Is that Bonner, Johnny? How would you like to be fired?
Oh?
Oh, uh, yeah, Mr. Bonner, sir.
Uh, uh, uh, what can I do for you?
Turn up with 85 mint coats.
What have you been doing since yesterday, sleeping?
Uh, Bonner, I've run my legs down to my knees, honest.
I've been trying to find out something, anything.
I've, I've peaked into so many corners.
I've, I've got television eyes.
And I've got a weak heart.
Unless we find those first 24 hours,
we have to pay off all of what's favorite, $300,000.
Well, what are you going to do? Take it out of my pay?
We have to. We'll start by selling your body to a medical school.
Play it, Johnny, do something.
Bonner, what's that would say to this financial position?
Triple A couldn't be better than they wouldn't say it was.
How about the firm, man?
It's drugging out.
He's always had money, family.
All right, Bonner, I'll keep after it.
I'll call you when I get something.
Johnny, don't take my shouting personally,
but this is a big one. Give it everything you got.
I post myself a grenade of bed, take a shower, and get my clothes on.
I started with a door, and I had no idea where I was going.
Aha, Mr. Dollar.
When somebody did my thinking for me.
See, you personally, I've shrugged off.
My extra of the elves would say, but for the department, I mean it.
Do you have any news?
News, every paper in the country, it should hit twice.
Never in my 30 years, association with that foul little beast.
Me, as anything like this happens, what happens?
You wouldn't believe me.
Look, I'm pretty gullible.
But it's incredible.
I don't blame you for not believing me.
Are we going to keep up this game, or do you tell me?
Don't get hussy with strong enough.
I will tell you.
This morning, Rust in dirty cardboard box,
is arriving at the department, guess what?
A mean course.
Incredible?
Incredible indeed.
You mean one of the coaches returned by nails?
Surprise.
Well, that's encouraging.
I am not overjoyed.
You're still all me for 84 courses.
I'd have $1.90 for a cab fare to help with favors.
It didn't make any sense.
That the man or a man who committed murder
to make the hike would return anything.
But one code had come back.
And in the pocket, I found a small piece of slick cardboard.
It was only a third of an inch long.
But there were three words on it.
Country Club Dan.
I was lucky.
The Country Club Secretary had a guest list.
And one name on it stuck out like the nose on Jimmy Doranti.
The Tricia Reedy.
Yes?
Oh.
Is Reedy?
Yes.
Go go in.
Name's Johnny Dollar.
Your father is employed at Elwood Tavers, me.
That's nice enough.
Is he in now?
He's probably in bed.
Now I help him.
I don't know.
And I saw you at the Country Club Dance the other night.
Oh.
Were you there?
Couldn't get my eyes out there.
Especially.
Especially when you had that knee coat on.
The knee?
Well, I want to talk with this guy fast.
Oh, do you want, Dollar?
An information.
Patty, will you make some coffee or something?
All right, Dave.
I'm going to do it.
Oh, nothing I can't handle.
Oh, Kate Dollar, what are you doing here?
Who asked you in my house?
My job.
I came to find out about a minke coat that showed up
that Elwood saved it this morning.
Look, sir.
Let's go out in the hall and talk.
Oh, Kate.
All right, Brady, let's hear it.
I don't go into a long song and dance.
I'll tell you everything.
Just the way it was.
And I'd be real interested.
The way I figured you'd help in the theft
and maybe even killed Conan.
You kept one of the coats but you got scared.
You might be caught with it so you send it back.
Your daughter let the dance take it in the pocket.
All right.
Here's the story right down the line.
I didn't help in my hide.
I had nothing to do with it.
I didn't even know it was happening.
Like I told you, I was in my office.
Listen to me, Brady.
Tell me, Brady.
You have been arrested?
I have dollar.
You're smart enough to find it out sooner or later.
I said time.
Sure.
You might as well know.
Lots.
Elwood Fable would be interested to know
a trusted watchman that served time.
What'd you expect me to do when I got off?
Call up and die.
I've got to live too.
I'm straight now, I.
Well, almost.
I had a wife, a kid, a wife died.
You've seen a kid in there.
13 years of her life, she had nothing.
But now I'm trying to make up for that.
Everything I do is for her, not for me.
Why about the cold, char?
I borrowed.
What the safe was locked up for the night.
I've been borrowing stuff right along.
Whenever my kid needed anything, I always returned him
in good shape, told Pat they left me to do a cheat
on them nothing.
That's kind of a strange philosophy.
I don't even know how to spell philosophy.
But I do know this.
That girl in there has a life ahead.
Reminds behind me.
I got to give her every chance I can to look good to act good.
The usual brain.
To meet the right people and go to the right places.
Not just for Dolly understand, a million of her husband.
But just for the right guy, and a fair crack and habits.
Ah, you guys are all the same.
You worked in my little book, Princess Directions.
Everything's black and white in the life.
Nobody's human.
Oh, well, that's bad.
I don't know what you're going to do.
But I hope it don't blast that kid's life to peace.
Brady, you should have thought it was a long time.
I don't want any lecture.
You'll shut up and you'll listen to me.
I think I believe you.
Maybe you're right.
Maybe we do work from Princess Directions a little too much.
Well, I can use a little judgment on my job.
I think for now, I'll forget everything you told me.
And forget where that coat came from.
Go on back a bit.
Go on, Brady.
All right.
And expect that from your dollar.
Brady, I know what bad breaks you're like, too.
Oh, come on, come on, come on.
Look, you'll have me doing that in a minute.
Hey, dollar, I don't go in for this stupid,
and stuff I never have.
Well, now I see it another way.
It doesn't matter what you tell as long
you tell us in the right guy.
What does that mean?
I'm going to give you something.
It'll take at least 24 hours to identify the guy they
find on the child's river, picture in the paper this morning.
Or I can tell you right now who it is.
Oh, who is it?
Ted Gray worked in Elwood's paper about six weeks.
He's fired two weeks ago.
How do you know?
Oh, I just know.
Personnel at Elwood's paper confirmed Ted Gray
had worked there and was fired for insubordination.
The dress was 1432 Parker's avenue,
and I was over there in 15 minutes.
There's an ordinary under-sing wished apartment house.
No one answers when I knocked at the apartment 12 a.
The door was unlocked.
Except for the furniture, the room had almost nothing to offer.
I talked around for half an hour before I saw the phone numbers
written on the wall paper next to the phone.
There were 14 numbers, and I started calling them right down the line.
The very seven produced such things as
Ling Qi, Chinese hand laundry, the happy hour liquor store,
and several other things that didn't have the particular information
I needed.
On the eighth call, I got the call.
Hello?
Hello?
Harry there?
Harry?
Harry calls?
Harry, good.
But I'm sorry.
You must have the wrong number.
Oh, sorry.
That's quite honest.
Maybe he didn't know Harry, but I knew him.
At least his voice.
I called Lieutenant Delaney and told him where I was going.
It was dark by the time I got to the middle of the safe factory.
There was a single work-life spreading a sickly yellow glow
over the main floor of the loading platform.
It wasn't a sound when I entered.
That was too good to laugh.
Went off somewhere in the darkness,
and I dropped behind a medium-sized station
and waited for a gun crash.
Tell us.
Tell me, tell us.
What are you doing here?
Looking for 84-man coach, Middleton?
I thought that was you on the phone, darling.
How much money do you miss?
Not much, but say the best.
You're going to need it to run.
A man of your talents could do a lock-in,
tell him, I don't know.
For the hundredth power, who in the business?
I could never remember all those Spanish verbs, thanks.
If you got anybody coming.
What's the people, Middleton, a lot?
If I hit you, how can I know your words are hurtless?
You know, I'll never give up.
And you'll have to shoot better than that.
I'll have to shoot better than that.
Oh, my windage throw is off.
Let the 32 you use on Ted Gray.
No.
This time I have a look at it.
Make it work.
I can flip that.
Oh.
Go on.
Go on.
That blue guy didn't help you much, Middleton.
Listen, isn't there many things that you blew a good life?
And I could never find what I wanted.
Look, I know why you kicked the watchman over.
But why your own boy, Gray?
He was in the deer with me, but he held out a coat for himself.
That shows you how wrong it can be.
It wasn't Ted Gray.
You see, Middleton?
Oh.
Start!
Oh, this way.
Now you would shoot up the time, honey.
Now what's this?
Jessup came, Middleton, he's your boy.
Yeah, boy, for what?
For the fur heist and the bodies of the moths.
How do you know?
Now there's a safe full of fur on his way to South America somewhere.
If you're hurry, you might stop it at the port of New York.
And why would he kill the guy in the river?
And who was that guy?
Ted Gray.
He was the man who cased the Elwood Favour job.
He reported 85 coats ready to go.
And when only 84 showed up Middleton thought he was holding back on him.
Well, okay, Johnny.
Thanks for doing all the work.
I was just lucky to lady.
You were sure we were.
You could have been hit where, hurt worse.
Come on, let's have the ambulance.
Look at that shoulder.
This is the only way to live.
It's really you.
Take it.
You know, you're great on your feet.
Well, what about you, Johnny?
Don't you look at your arms.
Well, I took the no-hands cause at a half of Murray's.
Probably with the dollar.
That's it.
The whole coat is your table.
Oh, thanks, lady.
Come on.
Johnny, dollar.
That's fine, a dollar.
Finer?
Uh-uh.
I won't take another job for at least a week.
All right, it's not that.
Oh, what is it?
Are you afraid I'll put a night out on the swindle sheet?
You aren't finished.
Not finished.
Hey, you got the coat, didn't you?
Yeah, we found a safe down at the dock.
Connid just before it was loaded for South America.
There were 84 coats in it, all right.
But you know, the one that was set back in the mail.
It's been stolen again.
One still messing.
Oh, lady.
Oh, oh, man.
Oh, yeah.
Well, you know, butter somehow I am.
I have a feeling that last coat will be in the mail tomorrow.
Sure.
Positive.
Along with the butter.
Along, Johnny.
Who liked it?
Who?
Nobody important.
You know something, Pat?
It was just grand and neat.
Well, the coat did show up the next day and in the mail.
Maybe she'll have one of her own someday.
Me?
I suck around being down for a few days
who'll get a better look at the Bunker Hill monument
for Revere's home and her deep blue eyes,
which began hinting at wedding bells.
So expense account item 1175 back home.
