I was about halfway through them when Grant came in with an attractive woman in her early thirties.

This is miss truth Boulogne, Young Radio.

I told you bought how Johnny Dollar of mister Dollar's an investigator, Miss Bolloyne.

I want you to tell him exactly what you told me on the full this morning, and well anything else you may have thought of on the way down here.

Well, I don't really know whether I.

Have anything to tell you.

Worked for the doctor who examined Lauring when his policy was issued.

Yes, doctor Felton.

That was in New York.

I just got not obtaining.

It's my first job.

I was only there three months.

Then I went into the Army during the war, and since the war, I've worked in Boston, the Hayward Clinic.

Well, I feel sort of foolish telling you all this.

I'm probably wrong, but.

She thinks she saw Lauring in Boston.

Johnny when well.

About two weeks ago, two weeks ago, yesterday where at the clinic.

Look, really, I'm not sure.

About You're not hurting anybody, miss Boulogne.

Suppose you just tell us and we'll take it from there.

Well, as I said, it was two weeks ago.

A man came to the clinic.

He wanted to be vaccinated.

He gave his name, Yes.

But it wasn't Frank Wring.

He gave the name of Michael Walsh.

I thought he looked familiar, but I couldn't face him.

What was the reason for the vaccination.

He needed an international certificate of vaccination.

It's required by law for anybody going abroad.

Oh, he was leaving the country.

Well, I guess, so he wanted a certificate.

I administered the vaccine.

He came back five days later, and the doctor entered the result in his card and signed it.

That's all I know.

What made you connect this Michael Walsh with Frank Lauring.

I really don't know.

I didn't until this morning.

I remember thinking I'd seen him before, and then when I saw that story this morning about Missus Lauring, the name just came into my mind.

You'd only seen Lauring once ten years.

Ago, Yes, but as I said.

It was my first job, and I was impressed at the time having him for a patient.

Why impressed, Well, I knew he was an actor.

I've seen a couple of shows he was in.

Read his name and columns things like that.

Did this Michael Walsh look like Frank Lauring as you remembered him?

No, he didn't.

I can't explain it.

Well, it seemed with a trot and have the joint.

Wait a minute, a grant, Let's not chuck it out so easily.

I've been reading this file on Luring, played a lot of character roles, expert on dialects and makeup.

Man like that could change his appearance very easily.

Something about him, the way he moved, the tone of his voice.

Something registered with this girl.

He'd have recognized her too when he went to the clinic.

She was impressed with him.

She had a reason to remember.

I feel a little foolish, and I feel a little curious.

How about your grandpa?

I'm I'm curious all morning, so curious.

I checked the steamship and airlines and and a man named Michael Walsh said in the SS Caristio six days ago.

She runs between Boston and San Diego Chili.

Somebody shoved the glass into my hand like they.

Used to do it at the local movie houses and a dish nights.

Ah, you must be Linda's boyfriend, Oh must I.

I knew at the minute I saw you.

She ought to be happy enough just to be rid of him.

They'll be so bitter, lad it'll throw your rhymes out of meter hers.

I helped her get over him.

I helped her anytime she wanted anything.

All she had to do was call little Freddy.

Now she's getting all that money, and she'll just run out.

Oh she wouldn't do that to you, would she?

Oh no, that's how much you know about women.

She's going to Chili, South America.

Oh no, that's an interesting bit of information, Freddie.

She thinks I don't know about her.

The airline called a confirm her reservation while she was out shopping this afternoon.

Which one of those lovely ladies is Marcia lauring those m She doesn't look like any of them.

Marsha's out in the kitchen fixing sandwiches.

She did even think she'll get any help from me?

Oh maybe I can lend a hand.

Listen, mister, you've got a girl, coming.

Oh oh sure, Linda, Well she told me to give Marcia a message.

Besides, you don't want to talk to me in affairs with your brooding.

I'll see it later.

Well, hello, come in, I'm making sandwiches for the starving multitudes.

I know I came in to help.

How are you on opening bottles?

But for those.

Peasants, beer's it's right there, the openers on the hook.

Oh, we're in business.

What are you a party crasher?

Or did you come with one of the girls a crasher?

Who the breed is improving?

We both know some of the same people.

Though, like who who's been hiding.

You from me?

Fellow up in Boston.

I don't know anyone in Boston, not even Michael Walsh.

Get out of here, I'll listen, missus Laurence.

I said, get out.

You were invited here, you don't belong here.

So what is it?

Marshall?

What happened?

I came out of it lying on the cold stone of a basement areaway, and then I went in search of a tiner a telegram focus expenser con item three eighty cents for breakfast and aspirin.

Cab fare to the international airport, an Item six, four hundred and fifteen dollars plane fair and incidentals to the city of Colan, Panama, Canalzon.

As usual, it was raining in Klan.

The SS Castillo had reached ports slightly ahead of schedule was waiting to go through the looks.

When I made my way forward, it was almost midnight.

I located the name of Michael Walsh on the passenger list posted in the lounge, and then made my way to the inside cabins on B deck.

I knocked on the door of cabin B sixty four.

There was no answer.

May I help you, Senor, you're the cabin steward.

I'm looking for the passenger who occupies this cabin or.

Senor Walsh is not here.

He's gone a shore in this downpour.

See pluck.

Here's five bucks.

All you have to do for it is to bring me the biggest towel you can find and open this cabin so I can wait inside, Senor.

But if you were waiting for Senor walh, he will not be bad.

Why not?

He's booked through the Santiago When you win a shore an hour ago.

He took his baggage with you.

I helped you with him.

You know where he went, No, Senor, he was most anxious to get ashore as soon as our lines were fast.

I see ship's wireless.

Take any kind of cablegram for him in the past twenty four hours.

I delivered one to him in the middle of last night.

It was more sgeuron.

I think he seemed most concerned.

Yeah, yeah, I thoughts.

Thanks.

I knew that Frank Lorang alias Michael Walsh wasn't going to be easy to find away from the ship.

He was likely to have a third name, and since he was an expert with dialects, there was every chance he'd adopt a different nationality.

I thought about it as I made my way through the narrow, rain swept streets.

I seem to be the only man without shellar in all of Panama.

But I wasn't.

Do you have a match, Senor?

Oh?

I could hardly see you.

Yeah, yeah, I got a match, I doubt it with the light of this rain.

Huh, you don't appreciate the rain, Senor.

In the rain, I always get what I want.

The touristas, they never refuse.

Jose, Hey, that isn't a cigarette near eh?

No, Senor, it is a gone you join me in the doorway.

No, well, I'd rather die and say no.

Now, if the Senor has some little thing he wishes to give Josett for a gif, Jose would be most grateful.

I don't have much cash, but his wristwatch is worth a couple of hundred.

Oh see, oh, that's a very nice one.

I would like that.

He bent his head slightly to look at the watch in his gun hand dipped automatically.

I brought my hands up to undo the watch.

Step step quickly to the side, and that was They have a left and the solar plexis.

Now now drop it pretty much.

If you insist.

That's better.

Sure you are going to turn me over to the police.

Well, that depends.

Pitch here is Verifie Cosette does not like it.

I'll tell you what you help me and I help you.

What kind of help does the sendor need?

Suppose the police somebody for after me?

Suppose I had to get out of here without using my passport, How would I.

Do it from Cologne?

There is no way, Senor, to many Americano offices.

I must slay some way out.

Thirty miles down the coast is Portobeyo.

It was once the hiding place for pirates.

In Portobeyo is a cafe called.

So you will be taken aboard the Akiramatsu and shortly.

You will see you at fow for where.

You will be pretty short of somewhere in South America, Venezuela possibly, Oh Brazil.

I'm not your only passenger.

Oh no, no, you are not.

Well.

How about untying me long as we're friends?

Are you?

Or will it be untied when you reach your destination?

Wait a minute, I can see the point here where somebody might give you away.

But why aboard ship?

Were fugitives from the husky cargo?

Mister da?

South American nations are rather.

A furrow about their coastal So if you are tied up, we can make certainly.

You're not caught.

What do you mean for somebody that.

You're you're hot cargos?

Did have?

Are the only way to carry hot cargo is to be certain that you can dispose of it in an emergency.

If we are challenged by a patrol vessel, you will be weighted.

Down and through an overboard.

It was dark when they carried me aboard and left me still trust in a deck cabin.

Then the Kira Matsu pitched and rolled her away into the open sea.

I knew that Loring was on board someplace, and I knew something else.

Kamamoo had lied to that cock me about what he'd found when he searched me.

He had more than a driver's license.

He had my.

Insurance company credentials and my passport and the door open.

And I got something else to think about it.

When send your dollar, Jose, how did you get here?

After you left me?

I ran into another Americano.

We've not racewatch, but much money.

He was kind to me.

He gave me money to leave the country when I told him about the bad jails.

How come kamamotos letting you run loose?

You are the only one who is tied up, Senor.

I do not think they intend for you to finish the trip.

How many other passengers are there besides us?

Three?

A man and a woman came just before we say that's two.

Who's the other one?

A man?

A man with a white suit and a hat.

A cockney accent.

What is that?

He sounded like an englishman.

Oh yes he is English.

Yeah yeah, I though's so.

How many in the crew Kamamoto and five seamen?

It is a very small boat.

Yeah yeah, I can feel that.

Look, Jose, I gave you a break with the police.

How about giving me one.

I'm a businessman, signor no sentiment.

A thousand dollars guaranteed by an American insurance company if you cut these ropes and lend me your gun.

Gosh, senor no credit?

So much book, I haven't got any cash.

Kamamoto took it all too bad.

Maybe next time.

There isn't going to be any next time for me, ever, buy a sweep steak ticket.

See, I'm then to take a chance on me.

Come on, how about it?

All right?

But when is the time for the drawing?

To see?

If my speak it wins as soon as you get these ropes off.

But let's do it now.

Just tell me get to my stoff any minute.

Jose cut the ropes and gave me his gun.

There was an oil slicker hanging behind the cabin door, and I slipped it on.

But cover the crew on deck was too busy to be counting noses in the storm.

I edged my way forward to the main cabin, grasped the handle and crashed down.

Dollar And let's not get jumpy anybody.

I'm wet and I'm mad, and I've been pushed about as far as I go.

Good for you go now glad you see up in a ba you can drop the accent, Lauring and stop flexing your fingernails.

Freddy, what's the matter, Marsha?

You get too nervous to stay home and fix sandwiches.

I didn't have to stay.

My lawyers can collect for me.

Oh what, Lauring looks pretty alive to me, even with that Cockney accent.

I'm more alive than you're going to be.

I'll be a fool, Louring.

You're more of a clay pigeon than I am.

You've been practicing for the part for seven years.

What are you talking about?

You think you're going to get to spend any of that insurance money?

You think I'm not?

Ask Freddy?

How about it?

Freddy?

I don't know anything.

I just came with Marsha because she asked me for.

He's a nice boy, Lauring.

He writes poetry and he'll do anything Marcia asks him to, won't you?

Freddy?

What are you trying to do.

I want to hear this, yeah, you auto before your hearing stops all together.

Maybe you've been dead for seven years, but your widow hasn't been putting flowers on your tombstone.

You stop talking about Marcia, you.

See, Lauring.

Freddie gets mad when I talk about Marcia.

Freddy loves Marcia, don't you, Freddy?

Yes, you ever take a look at his eyes, Luring.

If Marcia said the word he put a knife in you in a minute, think it over.

Mister Michael Walsh.

Turns up dead in South America, and missus Frank Loring and friend Freddy go back to Greenwich Village with a quarter of a million bucks.

Only this time they'd have nothing to worry about.

Don't listen to him, Frank, Why not Angel?

He sounds like a pretty smart guy.

We've waited seven years for this.

Do you think I'd have anything to do with this littlydia.

I've used him, that's all, Marsha.

You see, Freddy should get rid of you too.

After a while, there'll always be somebody else coming along to open the beer bottles.

I was kind of wondering how Freddy got in on this little trip.

I was wondering why we kept something between ourselves for seven years, and then you spill it to him.

I was frightened, Frank, I knew Dollar was after you.

That's why I wired you.

I couldn't come down here alone until I was sure we'd be together.

We'll be together, and we'll stay together until the money comes.

Then maybe I'll have some ideas of my own.

You up Lawing, You're never gonna get that money.

Yes, I am Dollar.

Kamamoto is standing right behind you, the curtain between this cabin and the next room.

Now let me have that gunjo all right, Kamamoto.

Now let's get rid of him.

Oh, why Kamamoto, Why don't we bargain a little first?

I have heard you are not in the bargaining position.

How much is he gonna give you for dropping me?

You'll get five grand dollar?

Oh, you're dealing with a real cheapskate, Camemoto.

I'm worth more than that.

I can shut you up right here is sorrowing.

Oh sweep, I do not use that, Conners or Siso.

This is my ship.

You took my credentials before, kamomto you know who I am?

Yes?

How much did Lauriing tell you it was gonna collect be Starling Cameramo to get rid of it.

I won't torrowing.

I will do sorry, who leaves a ship.

I'm well?

And how.

Suppose you tell me the amotor the policy mister Dolla a quarter of a million dollars.

He's lying.

It's only twenty five thousand, is it, Lauring?

I tell you what I'll do.

Then Kamamoto put us.

Both the shore back in the canal zone where I can get him into the hands of American authorities, and my company will pay you twenty five thousand dollars.

And I'll make it fifty thousand dollars.

Comma motive fifty thousand.

I've been sixty, so I hear seventy.

Come on, Lauring, bed I can go the whole quarter million.

Won't cost my company anymore.

Either way, I'll kill you dollars no Ha.

Louring and Kamamoto fired at the same time.

Both of them were hit, but only Kamamoto went down.

Lauring turned to Marsha.

You wanted him, you couldn't go together, all right?

Dollar?

That ends everything now I'm around to you for sure.

Oh, I wouldn't count on Luring this time.

I've got a friend in the doorway.

What he says, she's true.

Sen your Kamamoto was no longer using his gune, so I took it.

Besides, you have only one bullet left.

I have five.

You kill mister Dollar, and I will have to kill you.

He cut lauring your wife's dead.

You couldn't even get the money if you could get away.

All right, here, you can have it.

Come.

Mother, hit me in the side.

It hurts.

Maybe I canna patch it up a little better.

Just wrap your shirt.

I loved it.

She always wanted things more than an actor.

The giver whose idea was it hers?

I get out like a dog.

She sneaked up to Boston to see maybe once every six months after the first year.

First the time I was without her, I guess she wasn't lonely.

Yeah, some women never are.

And that about finished it.
