WEBVTT 00:00:17.889 --> 00:00:25.070 Come in. Welcome. I'm E .G. Marshall. Welcome 00:00:25.070 --> 00:00:29.510 to the sound of suspense. To the fear you can 00:00:29.510 --> 00:00:33.429 hear. I have an unusual story about a father 00:00:33.429 --> 00:00:37.070 and son. You know, it is said that love and hate 00:00:37.070 --> 00:00:41.189 are two sides of the same coin. If this is so, 00:00:41.829 --> 00:00:45.829 Phil, the son, never believed it. His hatred 00:00:45.829 --> 00:00:49.329 blinded him to the extent that he lost all humanity 00:00:49.329 --> 00:00:53.710 and compassion for his father This is Phil Coleman. 00:00:53.729 --> 00:00:57.990 It's not in the past. It's now Every day of my 00:00:57.990 --> 00:01:00.890 life since I can remember It was my mother's 00:01:00.890 --> 00:01:04.390 life the life of my sister There wasn't only 00:01:04.390 --> 00:01:06.769 his miserable life that was destroyed. It was 00:01:06.769 --> 00:01:13.620 all of us my mother dead at 43 My sister I don't 00:01:13.620 --> 00:01:16.140 even know where she is or what became of her. 00:01:16.420 --> 00:01:19.140 Look, Mr. Coleman, I can appreciate what you've 00:01:19.140 --> 00:01:24.540 been through, but if you won't take him, he'll 00:01:24.540 --> 00:01:36.239 die here in prison. Let him... Let him die. Our 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:39.840 mystery drama, Accounts Receivable, was especially 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.239 written for the Radio Mystery Theatre by Sidney 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:46.730 Sloan. and stars William Prince. I'll be back 00:01:46.730 --> 00:02:02.469 shortly with Act One. Phil Coleman parked his 00:02:02.469 --> 00:02:05.069 battered pickup truck in a prison compound marked 00:02:05.069 --> 00:02:09.009 for visitors. He walked 50 yards to the dirty 00:02:09.009 --> 00:02:11.370 gray guardhouse and presented his credentials 00:02:11.370 --> 00:02:14.370 to the stony -faced officer who permitted Coleman 00:02:14.370 --> 00:02:17.530 to step out again into the rain and proceed toward 00:02:17.530 --> 00:02:21.030 the great dirty granite complex, the maximum 00:02:21.030 --> 00:02:25.490 security prison for the state. Once inside, Coleman 00:02:25.490 --> 00:02:27.710 was ushered into the office of the chief prison 00:02:27.710 --> 00:02:32.169 doctor. Mr. Coleman, will you have a chair? I 00:02:32.169 --> 00:02:34.189 just want to get out the file on your father. 00:02:34.650 --> 00:02:36.849 I'm sorry you had to come out on such a nasty 00:02:36.849 --> 00:02:44.150 day. Let me see. Coleman. Richard. Oh, here we 00:02:44.150 --> 00:02:48.449 are. I don't really need to look at the file 00:02:48.449 --> 00:02:53.469 on Rick Coleman. I almost know it by heart. Caught 00:02:53.469 --> 00:02:55.990 in a police trap after being at large for 12 00:02:55.990 --> 00:02:58.430 days after the payroll robbery at the Sphinx 00:02:58.430 --> 00:03:01.669 Tool and Die Company plant. Both his accomplices, 00:03:01.849 --> 00:03:04.530 Buddy Mayer and Mickey Montross, killed, running 00:03:04.530 --> 00:03:06.830 from the police, and their share of the robbery 00:03:06.830 --> 00:03:13.110 recovered. Only your father held out, denying 00:03:13.110 --> 00:03:16.210 that he had any part of the money. Please, doctor, 00:03:17.430 --> 00:03:23.330 I know the story. Yeah, I suppose you do. You 00:03:23.330 --> 00:03:26.289 think he hid his share somewhere before the police 00:03:26.289 --> 00:03:32.090 got him? I don't know any more than you do. $106 00:03:32.090 --> 00:03:35.069 ,000. Your father was quite a celebrity, all 00:03:35.069 --> 00:03:38.289 over the papers, TV, radio. Nobody talked of 00:03:38.289 --> 00:03:40.770 anything else at the time. He was something of 00:03:40.770 --> 00:03:45.030 a folk hero. Gunman? Bank robber? A folk hero? 00:03:45.650 --> 00:03:49.949 Look, Mr. Coleman, the reason I asked you to 00:03:49.949 --> 00:03:52.750 come is that I couldn't write what I want to 00:03:52.750 --> 00:03:56.490 say. I discussed the matter with the warden and 00:03:56.490 --> 00:04:00.069 he approved of my plan. He will cooperate and 00:04:00.069 --> 00:04:02.849 with his help it won't be too difficult to obtain 00:04:02.849 --> 00:04:08.389 a parole. Parole? He's coming out? He's had a 00:04:08.389 --> 00:04:14.310 serious heart attack. It's his third. Now, the 00:04:14.310 --> 00:04:18.350 parole can be arranged for humane reasons, etc. 00:04:19.290 --> 00:04:23.449 There's only one catch. The warden will go along 00:04:23.449 --> 00:04:27.329 with this if you will assume responsibility. 00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:34.519 No. He's a sick old man. No. Well, if you won't 00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:41.519 take him, he'll die here. Let him. Let him die. 00:04:43.899 --> 00:04:47.660 How long is it since you've seen him? I went 00:04:47.660 --> 00:04:51.819 to his trial. I took my mother. Over nine years 00:04:51.819 --> 00:04:55.339 ago. You haven't seen him or written to him since? 00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.060 Well, he wrote to me when he was informed that 00:04:58.060 --> 00:05:02.779 my mother died I didn't answer He's a birthday 00:05:02.779 --> 00:05:06.879 cards to Harry my son. I want you to do something 00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:13.680 for me. I Want you to see him? No, no, I couldn't 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:18.079 I want you to do it for me. I Won't ask anything 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:31.110 else of you Don't take long. Mr. Coleman Rick? 00:05:32.649 --> 00:05:36.250 Rick? You think you can wake up a bit and talk? 00:05:37.610 --> 00:05:43.850 Oh, it's you, Doc. What do you want? I brought 00:05:43.850 --> 00:05:50.589 someone to see you, Rick. Hello? Rick? Who is 00:05:50.589 --> 00:05:56.209 it? It's your son, Rick. He's come to see you. 00:05:56.750 --> 00:06:03.430 Phil? You? Yeah. Yeah, Rick. How are you feeling? 00:06:05.189 --> 00:06:11.449 I feel fine. Been a little under the weather. 00:06:14.470 --> 00:06:18.050 How's the kid? Oh, Harry's fine. He's going to 00:06:18.050 --> 00:06:21.970 school. Fine. And Nina, how's she? I only saw 00:06:21.970 --> 00:06:25.050 her that one time at the trial. Oh, she's okay. 00:06:25.670 --> 00:06:31.449 She's getting on. It fell. I wonder if, when 00:06:31.449 --> 00:06:35.350 you get back, would you send me a picture of 00:06:35.350 --> 00:06:40.490 Harry? Oh, yeah, I guess so. I'd appreciate that. 00:06:40.889 --> 00:06:44.310 Well, sure. Sure, I'll send you pictures. Well, 00:06:45.189 --> 00:06:49.730 only, Phil, if you don't mind, I'd like to have 00:06:49.730 --> 00:07:02.639 my grandson send it. Well, is that you? Where, 00:07:02.779 --> 00:07:04.839 Nina? Come on out in the kitchen. We're fixing 00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:10.360 dinner. Mmm. Smells good. One of your favorites. 00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.160 I thought I'd make you feel better with a good 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:15.759 meal in you after a day of driving in the rain. 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:17.699 Is it still raining? Oh, it stopped about an 00:07:17.699 --> 00:07:20.019 hour ago. Just about when I got to Glennis Falls. 00:07:20.100 --> 00:07:23.660 That's good. You had enough rain. Yeah. Harry 00:07:23.660 --> 00:07:27.209 home? In his room doing his homework. But was 00:07:27.209 --> 00:07:31.149 that radio going he says he concentrates better 00:07:31.149 --> 00:07:36.490 Ames call yeah twice about 30 minutes ago He 00:07:36.490 --> 00:07:40.509 seemed angry. That's too damn bad I wish you 00:07:40.509 --> 00:07:42.889 and him got along it'd make it so much easier 00:07:42.889 --> 00:07:44.629 pretty every does his share of the work at this 00:07:44.629 --> 00:07:47.850 station He has to go out and pump a tank of gas. 00:07:47.850 --> 00:07:50.829 You'd think the world was coming to an end Got 00:07:50.829 --> 00:07:52.889 to get his hands dirty now. You knew he didn't 00:07:52.889 --> 00:07:54.910 know anything about the gas station business. 00:07:54.970 --> 00:07:58.550 Oh, okay I needed his money, but I can't carry 00:07:58.550 --> 00:08:05.889 him on my back.

Doc said it was his third, the bad one. 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:29.500 That why they wanted you to come see him? Partly. 00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:34.360 They had something else up their sleeve. They're 00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:38.139 gonna let him out. Out? Well, I thought he was 00:08:38.139 --> 00:08:41.240 in for life. That's right. Four -time loser, 00:08:41.500 --> 00:08:43.299 they call it. According to the state laws, that's 00:08:43.299 --> 00:08:48.789 life. But because of his health doc called it 00:08:48.789 --> 00:08:53.110 humane reasons or something They'll parole him 00:08:53.110 --> 00:08:55.470 and they have to get your approval that why they 00:08:55.470 --> 00:08:59.289 made you come Something like that They want me 00:08:59.289 --> 00:09:03.669 to be responsible for him what no me to take 00:09:03.669 --> 00:09:09.110 him in take care of him Maybe he wouldn't want 00:09:09.110 --> 00:09:11.889 that chill.

I swore that if I 00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:25.919 ever had a kid, I'd love him, take care of him. 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:30.639 Clean and honest like his father. I've never 00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.000 taken a scent that didn't belong to me, Nina. 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:37.059 I know that, dear, and I love you for it. You're 00:14:37.059 --> 00:14:42.539 a good man. That wasn't the first time the doctor 00:14:42.539 --> 00:14:47.419 has called, was it? No, he's called at least 00:14:47.419 --> 00:14:53.259 five times in the last few days. Call him. Tell 00:14:53.259 --> 00:14:58.419 him that the old man can come. Oh, Phil. I don't 00:14:58.419 --> 00:15:07.220 know how we're gonna manage. And so Phil Coleman 00:15:07.220 --> 00:15:10.500 yields to the pressure around him to accept his 00:15:10.500 --> 00:15:14.120 father into his home. The barrier of hate he 00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:18.120 has built up, however, will not dissolve. We'll 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:33.429 return shortly with Act Two. The first of the 00:15:33.429 --> 00:15:36.750 month has come, and Phil Coleman has not been 00:15:36.750 --> 00:15:39.149 able to raise the money to buy out his partner. 00:15:40.549 --> 00:15:43.110 Another event is taking place which brings him 00:15:43.110 --> 00:15:46.690 no joy. His father is coming today to become 00:15:46.690 --> 00:15:51.070 a permanent member of the household. It's them, 00:15:51.149 --> 00:15:53.490 Mom! They're here! It's Dad's pick -up truck 00:15:53.490 --> 00:15:56.090 of Grandpa! Harry, Harry, take it easy. You know 00:15:56.090 --> 00:15:59.429 how excited you get about things. Now remember... 00:15:59.309 --> 00:16:03.009 He's an old man and he's been very sick. I know, 00:16:03.169 --> 00:16:06.169 I know. Mom, I'm really glad to see him. Well, 00:16:06.350 --> 00:16:08.190 go open the door. Dad's carrying the suitcase. 00:16:09.750 --> 00:16:12.549 Welcome, Grandpa. Here, let me take this suitcase. 00:16:13.029 --> 00:16:17.250 Dad, I'll show him to his room. Well, come in. 00:16:17.710 --> 00:16:21.289 Don't just stand in the door. Sure, thanks. Let 00:16:21.289 --> 00:16:25.070 me take the suitcase. Oh, yeah, here. Follow 00:16:25.070 --> 00:16:27.860 me, Grandpa. I'll show you where you bump. Harry, 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:31.220 take it easy. Give him a chance to catch his 00:16:31.220 --> 00:16:38.100 breath. You want to sit down, Rick? Okay to sit, 00:16:38.379 --> 00:16:46.120 Phil? Sure. If you want anything, coffee or tea 00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:48.179 or anything... I ain't allowed to drink coffee. 00:16:50.790 --> 00:16:54.429 Well, if you're tired, you can go to bed. Don't 00:16:54.429 --> 00:16:59.029 sit up to be polite. I ain't tired. Oh, Nina, 00:16:59.230 --> 00:17:01.149 I'm going down to the station. I got a little 00:17:01.149 --> 00:17:04.289 work to do. Well, Eddie called up at seven when 00:17:04.289 --> 00:17:06.549 he closed up, Bill. What's the point of going 00:17:06.549 --> 00:17:08.390 there at this hour? Well, today's the first of 00:17:08.390 --> 00:17:11.250 the month. I thought I'd pay my bills. Some people 00:17:11.250 --> 00:17:14.269 do, you know. Phil, your father just got here. 00:17:14.269 --> 00:17:22.789 I got bills to pay, Nina. Check his grandpa at 00:17:22.789 --> 00:17:25.609 homework Harry. I did it this afternoon so I'd 00:17:25.609 --> 00:17:27.670 have a chance to spend some time with grandpa 00:17:27.670 --> 00:17:30.670 How about a grandpa? I'm gonna show you how to 00:17:30.670 --> 00:17:43.670 play that game. I was a champ at Call my service 00:17:43.670 --> 00:17:47.470 station. Oh, mr. Wetley Yeah, yeah, I called 00:17:47.470 --> 00:17:49.569 the bank earlier, but they said you was busy. 00:17:50.190 --> 00:17:55.960 Yeah Well, it's getting kind of urgent. You see, 00:17:56.099 --> 00:17:57.880 I told Ames I'd be able to settle matters with 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:00.380 him around the first of the month. It's the 11th 00:18:00.380 --> 00:18:05.980 already. He calls me every day. Mr. Wetley, I'm 00:18:05.980 --> 00:18:11.380 desperate. I gotta get that loan. What? Well, 00:18:11.380 --> 00:18:15.039 when can you let me know? Well, couldn't you 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:19.259 make it sooner? Okay, Mr. Wetley, I know you're... 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:22.000 Doing your best for me. Pardon me, Mr. Wetley. 00:18:22.059 --> 00:18:24.779 Someone wants gas. Please call me as soon as 00:18:24.779 --> 00:18:31.339 you know. Thanks. Goodbye. Coming! I'm sorry 00:18:31.339 --> 00:18:33.019 to keep you... Is this the way you do business, 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:35.480 Coleman? You're gonna run this joint into the 00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:38.119 ground in three months. I'm sorry, but Eddie's 00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:41.779 out to lunch or something. Skitch. Mr. Ames to 00:18:41.779 --> 00:18:46.079 you, Coleman. Fill her up. Sure, sure.

What does 00:18:58.420 --> 00:19:01.200 that mean? Either you're gonna get it or you're 00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:04.000 ain't Don't try stalling me with soon.

Thanks, Ames. You know why I think 00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:21.980 you're going to be able to come up with the money? 00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:27.380 Your old man is living with you now. What the 00:19:27.380 --> 00:19:30.559 hell are you driving at? Everybody knows he's 00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:32.799 got over a hundred thousand stashed away from 00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:35.440 that job he did about ten years ago. You fat 00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:38.920 prick! I'll pull you out of that car! Let go 00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:45.019 of my car! You're choking me! Okay.

It's 00:20:02.660 --> 00:20:07.500 all ready, Phil. It's all ready. Rick, fool's 00:20:07.500 --> 00:20:11.440 on the table. I thought I'd join you for a grub. 00:20:11.740 --> 00:20:14.089 I don't want to cause no trouble. Sit down, Grandpa. 00:20:16.670 --> 00:20:19.369 There was a man here to see you today, Rick. 00:20:20.109 --> 00:20:23.529 See me? Can't imagine who'd be coming around 00:20:23.529 --> 00:20:28.150 to see me. Maybe some old cellmate. Phil. Yes, 00:20:28.190 --> 00:20:40.430 maybe Phil's right. One of my old buddies. Yes, 00:20:40.430 --> 00:20:44.039 sir. What can I do for you? Mr. Coleman? Yeah. 00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:46.880 Sorry to bother you during business hours, but 00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:49.319 seemed like the best time to talk to you alone. 00:20:49.900 --> 00:20:54.019 Oh, my God. Herbert McCauley, Crandler & Epping. 00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:58.559 International Insurance. I'm an insurance detective. 00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:02.200 Let me explain. When a big job is pulled, maybe 00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:05.039 a hundred, two hundred grand, even bigger, the 00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:07.599 insurance companies have to fork over the money 00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:10.059 to the people who have insurance to cover such 00:21:10.059 --> 00:21:12.440 things. The money the desert recovered, that 00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:16.279 is. You get me? Yeah. But what you don't know 00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:20.059 is the insurance companies never give up. They'll 00:21:20.059 --> 00:21:23.059 follow a man right into his grave to get back 00:21:23.059 --> 00:21:25.460 the stolen cash. Take your father's case for 00:21:25.460 --> 00:21:27.740 example. I don't want to go into it. I know all 00:21:27.740 --> 00:21:30.599 about it. It might be worth your while to talk 00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:34.819 to me. Ten percent of a hundred and six thousand 00:21:34.819 --> 00:21:38.539 bucks is a lot of green. One hundred and six 00:21:38.539 --> 00:21:41.380 thousand was your father's cut of the heist. 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:44.200 And that's the amount still missing from the 00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:46.259 Sphinx Tool and Die company hold up ten years 00:21:46.259 --> 00:21:49.359 ago. But on trial he said he never got his share. 00:21:49.700 --> 00:21:51.799 That his buddies cheated him. Ah, Bunk, the jury 00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:53.799 didn't believe him then and I don't believe him 00:21:53.799 --> 00:21:58.039 now. He's got it. But he'll never be able to 00:21:58.039 --> 00:22:00.720 spend a buck of it. We've been after him for 00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:03.700 ten years already and that ain't nothing. We 00:22:03.700 --> 00:22:06.539 kept after a guy for 20 years and finally got 00:22:06.539 --> 00:22:08.359 the money back. Happened before I got in the 00:22:08.359 --> 00:22:11.619 company. They caught the guy digging up a big 00:22:11.619 --> 00:22:15.920 glass bottle stuffed with moldy old bills. Here's 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:20.039 the laugh. The bills were the big old size, printed 00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:22.680 before they changed over to the small ones. He 00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:25.339 couldn't have spent the money. It was out of 00:22:25.339 --> 00:22:28.160 date. Yeah, I, uh, I'm a busy man, Mr., uh... 00:22:28.160 --> 00:22:32.450 Davicolli. I, uh... I was over to your house 00:22:32.450 --> 00:22:35.549 yesterday to talk to Rick, but I... I figured 00:22:35.549 --> 00:22:38.109 it'd be better talking to you. Oh, so that was 00:22:38.109 --> 00:22:42.029 you. Look, I'm shorthanded here. You're keeping 00:22:42.029 --> 00:22:44.930 me from... I guess you didn't hear what I said 00:22:44.930 --> 00:22:52.630 a moment ago. You could get 10 % of 106 grand 00:22:52.630 --> 00:22:57.269 just for helping me get the money back from your 00:22:57.269 --> 00:23:11.069 father. Okay, now, what's the big mystery? Where's 00:23:11.069 --> 00:23:13.609 Harry? He didn't go to church last Sunday either. 00:23:13.670 --> 00:23:16.130 No big mystery, Phil. He's out with the boys 00:23:16.130 --> 00:23:18.569 practicing basketball. So you have to practice 00:23:18.569 --> 00:23:21.369 today? It's the only time the basketball field 00:23:21.369 --> 00:23:23.849 or court or whatever they call it is available. 00:23:24.109 --> 00:23:25.769 So the little stinker thought he was going to 00:23:25.769 --> 00:23:27.829 get away with it, did he? Oh, now, don't be too 00:23:27.829 --> 00:23:29.890 hard on him. He's a good boy and he works very 00:23:29.890 --> 00:23:32.210 hard at his schoolwork. Oh, I know. I used to 00:23:32.210 --> 00:23:35.269 go eight -wall Sundays whenever I could as a 00:23:35.269 --> 00:23:38.220 kid, play basketball. Used to make my mother 00:23:38.220 --> 00:23:41.980 saw him. Once she came right out to the lot where 00:23:41.980 --> 00:23:44.140 I was playing, I grabbed my ear and walked me 00:23:44.140 --> 00:23:48.039 free boxed like that to school. I ain't mad at 00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:50.420 him, but I had to make a little fuss to show 00:23:50.420 --> 00:23:54.559 him the panics. Okay, Nina. Now, don't make a 00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:57.000 big thing out of it, huh? You think he's home 00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:00.299 yet? Well, he wouldn't be this early. Got your 00:24:00.299 --> 00:24:02.400 key? The door isn't locked. Your father's home. 00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:09.869 Well, Harry, you're home. Hello, Mom. Hi, Dad. 00:24:10.309 --> 00:24:13.970 This is Mr. Kanaki, my gym teacher. Uh, hello, 00:24:14.289 --> 00:24:16.329 Mr. and Mrs. Coleman. How do you do? I'm sorry 00:24:16.329 --> 00:24:18.109 to bother you, especially on a Sunday, but... 00:24:18.109 --> 00:24:22.170 Anything wrong? Well, Mr. Coleman, let me tell 00:24:22.170 --> 00:24:24.650 you that I know Harry's a good boy and an excellent 00:24:24.650 --> 00:24:28.329 student. And nothing is going to be done to spoil 00:24:28.329 --> 00:24:30.049 his record. What are you driving at, Mr. Coleman? 00:24:30.049 --> 00:24:32.470 Now, don't lose your temper, Mr. Coleman. It's 00:24:32.470 --> 00:24:35.579 just that... Harry and two other boys have been 00:24:35.579 --> 00:24:38.400 playing basketball in the school gymnasium on 00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:41.319 Sundays Well, what's so bad about that? Well, 00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:43.720 they had to break into the school to use the 00:24:43.720 --> 00:24:46.319 gym And now although they're all 14, it wouldn't 00:24:46.319 --> 00:24:48.740 be prosecuted for criminal action at that age 00:24:48.740 --> 00:24:52.059 Breaking and entering is a serious matter breaking 00:24:52.059 --> 00:24:54.740 and entering and when we found the locks jimmied 00:24:54.740 --> 00:24:57.819 last week We set a trap there Sunday And what 00:24:57.819 --> 00:25:01.359 do you intend to do? Oh, frankly, we are not 00:25:01.359 --> 00:25:05.339 going to do anything But we expect that the boys 00:25:05.339 --> 00:25:08.359 parents will exert some sort of influence to 00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:10.759 keep this from recurring You've you've talked 00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:14.019 to the other parents. Oh, yes on the phone three 00:25:14.019 --> 00:25:17.700 boys Caught busting into the school you call 00:25:17.700 --> 00:25:19.380 and tell the parents of the other two kids about 00:25:19.380 --> 00:25:22.440 it on the phone But Harry's folks get a personal 00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:28.579 interview Why? Well, uh You see this is sort 00:25:28.579 --> 00:25:30.519 of difficult to explain mr. Coleman, but maybe 00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:34.630 I can help wait Phil Harry you go to your room. 00:25:34.710 --> 00:25:37.869 No. No, he better stay right here. Sit down Harry 00:25:37.869 --> 00:25:42.230 Now mr. Kanaki I'll tell you why you came here 00:25:42.230 --> 00:25:46.109 to talk to me personal like You know the name 00:25:46.109 --> 00:25:49.130 Coleman for a long time. Don't you read about 00:25:49.130 --> 00:25:51.690 it in the papers? Well, really it was your son 00:25:51.690 --> 00:25:54.309 who revealed that Rick Coleman was his grandfather 00:25:54.309 --> 00:25:57.390 He turned in a theme last week to his English 00:25:57.390 --> 00:26:00.910 teacher. Mrs. Margolis, which rather shocked 00:26:00.910 --> 00:26:04.869 her he He used bad words? Oh, no, no, no, that 00:26:04.869 --> 00:26:09.069 wasn't it. He seemed proud of the accomplishments 00:26:09.069 --> 00:26:13.049 of his grandfather, extolled his talents, so 00:26:13.049 --> 00:26:15.789 to speak. Now, aren't you making a lot more out 00:26:15.789 --> 00:26:19.730 of this than is really there? Well, I told Mr. 00:26:19.910 --> 00:26:22.369 Gilchrist I didn't want to come here, but he 00:26:22.369 --> 00:26:26.309 insisted. It seems that he... Well, he wanted 00:26:26.309 --> 00:26:28.569 to know about your father, Mr. Coleman. We understand 00:26:28.569 --> 00:26:31.710 that he's living with you. You think he's been 00:26:31.710 --> 00:26:34.789 a bad influence? Oh, I'm trying not to make any 00:26:34.789 --> 00:26:37.970 judgments, Mr. Coleman, but I expect you will. 00:26:38.569 --> 00:26:41.710 And now I think I've said enough. Please excuse 00:26:41.710 --> 00:26:44.930 me for spoiling your day. Good -bye. Keep your 00:26:44.930 --> 00:26:49.250 nose clean there, Harry. Bye, Mr. Kanaki. Go 00:26:49.250 --> 00:26:53.329 to your room, Harry. Yes, Dad. I got a lot of 00:26:53.329 --> 00:26:58.619 homework anyway. Well, what are you going to 00:26:58.619 --> 00:27:03.119 do Phil I don't know I'm gonna start out with 00:27:03.119 --> 00:27:13.500 him with Rick In Phil's mind his father's influence 00:27:13.500 --> 00:27:17.799 was spreading like some evil disease Now even 00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:21.240 young Harry was infected But what he neglected 00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:24.420 to notice was the change in his own character 00:27:24.420 --> 00:27:40.470 We'll be back shortly with Act III. Despite Phil's 00:27:40.470 --> 00:27:44.049 resolve to speak to his father immediately, so 00:27:44.049 --> 00:27:46.769 many other matters converged on him that it was 00:27:46.769 --> 00:27:49.369 several days before he had time to get Rick alone 00:27:49.369 --> 00:27:52.170 for the soul -searching talk that he envisioned. 00:27:53.470 --> 00:27:56.170 Strangely enough, The conversation, when he finally 00:27:56.170 --> 00:27:58.529 got around to it, took an entirely different 00:27:58.529 --> 00:28:09.349 course. Come. Rick, you busy? Doing what? I've 00:28:09.349 --> 00:28:11.509 been expecting you for the last couple of days. 00:28:12.509 --> 00:28:15.089 Harry said you wanted to talk to me. Yeah, yeah, 00:28:15.089 --> 00:28:17.990 but I've been busy. I've got lots of troubles. 00:28:18.589 --> 00:28:22.890 I'm only one, huh? Well, you want us to pack 00:28:22.890 --> 00:28:25.309 up and... What are you talking about? Only place 00:28:25.309 --> 00:28:28.289 I gotta go is back to stir. Now that the kid 00:28:28.289 --> 00:28:30.549 gets wrapped with a charge of breaking and entering. 00:28:31.369 --> 00:28:33.829 I figure this is it. Time for me to pack up. 00:28:33.849 --> 00:28:37.250 Why did you give him all the stuff on you? The 00:28:37.250 --> 00:28:38.990 story he wrote for his teacher about your life. 00:28:39.069 --> 00:28:41.670 He told me he was gonna write it. He asked me 00:28:41.670 --> 00:28:44.730 for help. I told him don't do it. It'll get you 00:28:44.730 --> 00:28:48.690 in trouble. So he goes down to the library. And 00:28:48.690 --> 00:28:50.670 they let him see the old newspapers and micro 00:28:50.670 --> 00:28:53.779 films. So that's how he got it. Ask him. No, 00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:57.279 no, I believe you. First time in your life, I 00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:01.140 felt. What? That you believe me. Yeah, maybe. 00:29:03.140 --> 00:29:07.619 Rick, you know, McCauley, insurance detective? 00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:12.019 Yeah, that old troublemaker. First couple of 00:29:12.019 --> 00:29:14.500 years, I was in Stur, he was practically my only 00:29:14.500 --> 00:29:17.720 visitor. Yeah, well, he came to see me with something 00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:20.400 on his mind. Don't tell me, I know. That old 00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:23.220 story, huh? That dough was supposed to be my 00:29:23.220 --> 00:29:26.380 cut. They want it. They're willing to pay me 00:29:26.380 --> 00:29:28.660 to help them get it. You were offered your 10%, 00:29:28.660 --> 00:29:32.000 right? That's right. What'd you tell them? Listen, 00:29:32.619 --> 00:29:35.079 I gotta explain something to you. You told them 00:29:35.079 --> 00:29:37.259 you'd go along. You'd get the money, didn't you? 00:29:37.380 --> 00:29:41.160 Look, look, Rick, you'll never be able to spend 00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:47.019 it. I'm desperate for cash. I need 15 ,000 to 00:29:47.019 --> 00:29:50.049 pay off my partner. To get him out of the business. 00:29:50.069 --> 00:29:53.289 I know Harry gave me all the details if he forces 00:29:53.289 --> 00:29:56.410 a sale to dissolve the partnership I'm done for 00:29:56.410 --> 00:29:59.549 We both won't get what the place is worth and 00:29:59.549 --> 00:30:02.450 I'll be out of work. What can I do? Look the 00:30:02.450 --> 00:30:06.549 bank is holding back on lending me 15 But I could 00:30:06.549 --> 00:30:12.670 I could get five Give me the money Rick That's 00:30:12.670 --> 00:30:16.329 a laugh I've never done anything for me in my 00:30:16.329 --> 00:30:20.089 whole life Now is your chance to pay me back 00:30:20.089 --> 00:30:22.609 for the kind of childhood and life I've had because 00:30:22.609 --> 00:30:26.509 of you hold on hold on I'd like to help you if 00:30:26.509 --> 00:30:30.970 I could but I can Because you want to hug the 00:30:30.970 --> 00:30:33.130 whole hundred six thousand for yourself.

Margolis didn't 00:31:43.220 --> 00:31:46.579 like the subject matter of the theme She gave 00:31:46.579 --> 00:31:49.759 me an A - for effort and research.

He hardly 00:32:05.299 --> 00:32:08.539 ever goes out. He sits around in his room most 00:32:08.539 --> 00:32:12.180 of the time. I asked him about it. You know something? 00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:15.740 He's been locked up for so long in a jail cell 00:32:15.740 --> 00:32:19.599 that he isn't used to having any freedom. He 00:32:19.599 --> 00:32:23.599 told me he doesn't feel safe outside. How do 00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:26.900 you like that? But when he does go out, where 00:32:26.900 --> 00:32:31.359 does he go? Once a month. He has to report to 00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:34.660 his parole officer. The office is over on Dean 00:32:34.660 --> 00:32:38.259 Street. I walked over there with him once.
