Okay, but you know my instinct is not enough.

Speaker 2

I know you that should be sufficient for most people.

Yeah, but look, I really came here to give you some the tabe Thompson killings, all right, mastermind, so give and go.

Thompson got into a street fight yesterday afternoon with another contractor named Jack Morgan.

Morgan is a jerk with a business reputation to match.

I see when I broke up the fight, Morgan said that he'd come back and finish the job.

Speaker 1

Is that all, genius?

Saturday?

I just handed you a Grade.

Speaker 2

A suspect and you don't say I could have sworn it?

Speaker 1

You don't get excited, like, don't worry.

Speaker 2

Morgan has an alibi for last night with checking on it now, what is his alibi?

He says he was with Dewitch, Sloan and Simeon Palmer the entire evening from six o'clock on to midnight.

Speaker 1

Loan and Parma, Loan and Farmer.

Speaker 2

What's a shop operator like Morgan doing with a couple of millionaire playboys?

Speaker 1

There is money boys.

They put up the door for his construction jobs.

Speaker 2

If they say he was with them, we let Morgan go and we start looking for another suspect.

Speaker 1

I just thought of Paul Brunt always Branston.

Where does he come into that?

Speaker 2

Another contractor who's been fighting Morgan and Thompson for every job in the last three years, and Brent till Thompson.

I didn't say that practically.

Speaker 1

I just asked if you thought of them, that's all.

Speaker 2

If Morgan's alibi holds up, you'll need somebody inspected.

Speaker 1

That don't tell me what I need.

You don't need a thing, and that includes brain.

Can I talk to Morgan?

Speaker 2

I've already talked to him.

He doesn't know anything.

You two have so much in common, you see, Brent, I'll see Morgan.

Speaker 1

Good.

Speaker 2

Let's see what there is in missus Kerr.

Yeah, they're always looking for a body.

We hit the jerk, but we got two bodies, not one.

I still remember the street Pride Morgan.

Speaker 1

It's not a live blacking.

But there's no reason to keep me here at headquarters.

Speaker 2

I didn't kill Dynamite.

I was with Clone and Palmer from six o'clock on.

Speaker 1

He broke up after midnight, and that's kind of a long meeting.

Speaker 2

Yes, we have them every week, Clone and Palmer may be big shot millionaires, but they still want to know where every penny goes.

Speaker 1

They're still millionaires.

Case.

You've got a point there, I think so.

Speaker 2

But I can't understand why it should be so difficult to locate them.

After all, they're not just a pair of chumps.

Speaker 1

Relaxed, Morgan, Milks time, relaxed.

I got nothing to worry about.

Speaker 3

You have funny to worry about.

Speaker 1

Blanking, Well, Luca's here.

Yeah, what do you know about Paul Grant?

Oh?

You want to see him?

Jarney?

That's right?

What he's say?

He didn't?

Speaker 2

He got away and I got a dragnet out for him.

He won't get far.

Wait a minute, Hell yeah, what was that Cooper?

Speaker 1

Oh?

Speaker 3

Okay, all right, Morgan, I got moos for you.

Speaker 1

They found floaning Farmer.

That's right, A patrol top picked him up.

Speaker 2

Okay, So they were found and they said I was with him last night and now you can let me go.

Speaker 1

No, Morgan, now I can knock you up?

Speaker 4

Right?

Speaker 1

Did they lie about being with me?

What's the story of Arney?

Speaker 2

Blackie, Floan and Farmer was from dead but their car was driven through a fence.

Speaker 1

Into a ravine, but.

Speaker 2

They were shot before their car was pushed over them.

That's show Morgan back to jail.

See I hold and inspected.

You say you went to talk to Brent and he ran away.

Yeah, but don't you get the same idea.

You're going to jail to say, I'm not thinking of running.

Speaker 1

I don't have to.

Someone killed my alibis.

I think it's Brent.

Speaker 2

I was thinking the same thing.

Sure, Listen, Brent didn't like me, and he knew I was spending the evening with Sloane and Palmer.

Speaker 1

Well, how did he know that?

Speaker 2

I called him at his office.

I told him Clone and Palmer were with me.

That was at seven o'clock.

An hour later, according to the time in the papers, Thompson was shot.

Wait a minute, you trying to say that Brent kills Thompson's flown and Palmer.

Don't you get it, Inspector.

No, Brent knew about my fight with Dynamite Thompson.

He killed Dynamite and tried.

Speaker 3

To dependent on me by getting rid of my alibis.

Speaker 1

Only tried, he succeeded.

He showed a job on't you?

Speaker 3

Uh?

Speaker 1

But here, what do I do?

I don't know.

Speaker 2

But until Brent is in the long arm of the law.

You don't have a leg to stand them.

Now back to Boston, Blackie.

Blackie steps the fight between two building contractors, Jack Morgan and Dynamite Thompson that night while calling his wife in the office, Drynamite is shot to death.

Paraday arrests Jack Morgan for the murder, but Morgan has an air tight alibi.

He was with Simeon Palmer and de Witt Floane, two millionaire playboys who are backing him financially.

Paraday attempts to question another contractor, Paul Brent, but Brent escapes.

When Paraday returns to the office, he learns that Sloane and Palmer have been murdered.

Morgan is without an alibi, but Morgan accuses Paul Brent of engineering the whole thing, killing Dynamite Thompson, and then pinning it on.

Speaker 1

Him by destroying his albibi.

At a return to our story.

Speaker 3

Paul Brent has.

Speaker 1

Just eded his girlfriend to touch him.

Quick made me close the door.

Nothing maybe, Paul, what is it?

Speaker 2

Tell me?

The police were asking me why I think I killed dna By Thompson, But I got away.

Did you don't be a fool?

I was here with you last night when Thompson was killed me, why did you want away?

Because then I'd have to tell him I was with you.

I'd find out we're married.

Speaker 1

I don't know what that means.

Speaker 6

It is stupid reason I'm supposed to stay single.

Speaker 3

Right on the nose, I don't care.

Speaker 6

You tell them, Paul, tell them you were here that we're married.

Speaker 1

No, no, not yet anyhow, you gotta let me stay here until think cool off.

Yeah, that's right.

This is one place nobody will look for them.

Speaker 4

I suppose they do.

Speaker 1

Don't worry.

Speaker 2

I wasn't followed.

I made sure of that.

If you don't say anything, nobody will know.

Speaker 6

Of course I won't say anything.

But what if somebody else should walk in?

Speaker 1

Well, that's the chance you will have to take, poor Paul.

Are we doing the right thing?

Speaker 2

You'll figure it out.

I stay here and there's a chance I leave and I wind up in jail.

How are we doing the right thing?

Mamie?

Speaker 1

Still the half of the fact.

Speaker 4

You can't miss it?

Speaker 2

You do no, all right, you can take your finger off the hooking ready, I know there's nobody on the phone.

Speaker 1

You don't have to impress me.

Speaker 6

Well, you can't hate a gal for trying to make the place look busy.

Speaker 3

Oh yes they was.

Speaker 2

You weren't with him at the time of Dynamite's death, But you said you were knowing they were already dead and couldn't deny.

Speaker 1

It and figuring it.

Kind of stupid, isn't it, Blacks No, No, not.

Speaker 2

When I found out that Sloane and Palmer were getting ready to ditch you and start putting money into Thompson's coming.

Speaker 1

That's a lie.

Oh no, it isn't.

Dinahmane.

Thompson's would have.

Speaker 1

I think I have this.

Speaker 3

That's nice Blacky for everything.

Speaker 2

But he didn't know is that I couldn't tell anybody where I was when Thompson was killed, so I had no alibi.

Speaker 2

Yes, it's me too, okay, fair name when Morgan comes to lock him up with all right, as you know, it was Morgan, not Brent.

He who did the killing.

But Daddy good right, But you hit a date with her the night of the murder.

Remember a date with Betty.

Yeah, you were supposed to dictate to her, only you never showed that.

Speaker 1

She waited to the office for you till eleven o'clock.

No Brent, no letters, no type, no phone calls.

Speaker 3

How does that make Morgan the killer?

Speaker 2

Morgan told us that Brent knew that he was with Flowing Palmer because he called Brent at his office and told him just that.

And I said, how could he talk to Brent?

And Brent wasn't there and there were no calls at the office.

Speaker 3

It's because, say, my secretary.

Speaker 2

Was working later, you would never have known Morgan didn't call me.

You're so right, well, I I gotta get her a present.
