WEBVTT 00:00:23.339 --> 00:00:27.300 I am E .G. Marshall. Welcome to the terrifying 00:00:27.300 --> 00:00:32.719 world of your own imagination. I have an unusual 00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:36.719 story about foreign intrigue, murder, and love. 00:00:37.820 --> 00:00:41.119 Interesting combination. You know, that great 00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:44.380 mystery writer Edgar Allan Poe once wrote that 00:00:44.380 --> 00:00:47.859 the best way to hide something was to leave it 00:00:47.859 --> 00:00:51.219 in full sight. And that's what this story's about. 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:55.539 Steve Nash, agent for the Federal Narcotics Bureau, 00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:58.439 was awakened from a sound sleep by his chief. 00:00:58.659 --> 00:01:02.600 Steve, Manny and LeFarro got it tonight. Wounded? 00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:08.459 Dead. Oh, no. Manny's wife just had a baby. She's 00:01:08.459 --> 00:01:11.519 still in the hospital. Start packing a bag right 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:34.079 now, Steve. Am I going somewhere? drama Conspiracy 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:37.379 to the Fraud was written especially for the Mystery 00:01:37.379 --> 00:01:41.420 Theatre by Sidney Sloan and stars Paul Hecht. 00:01:42.159 --> 00:02:05.180 I'll be back shortly with act one. What the Police and the Federal 00:02:05.180 --> 00:02:08.199 Narcotics Bureau, believed to be a well -planned 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:12.340 and secret bust of a big narcotics ring, is taking 00:02:12.340 --> 00:02:15.099 place in a warehouse district in New York City. 00:02:15.340 --> 00:02:17.060 Stand by, Sergeant. I'm going to talk to them 00:02:17.060 --> 00:02:19.699 on a bullhorn. If they don't come out, we go 00:02:19.699 --> 00:02:41.629 in. Right, I got it. I'm going to blast the lock 00:02:41.629 --> 00:02:51.150 on the door. That's got the door. Let's go. Looks 00:02:51.150 --> 00:02:53.050 like there's nobody here. Careful. It might be 00:02:53.050 --> 00:02:58.330 a trap. This is your last chance. Come out with 00:02:58.330 --> 00:03:02.590 your hands behind your head. Cover me. Hit the 00:03:02.590 --> 00:03:07.610 lights. There's a body. Careful. Careful. Chief. 00:03:13.680 --> 00:04:37.019 Maybe here, too. No, I am oh You see I was sitting 00:04:37.019 --> 00:04:40.839 forward the second row on the outside Yeah, and 00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:44.139 I asked the stewardess to change my seat This 00:04:44.139 --> 00:04:46.339 was the only unoccupied seat in first class. 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:51.459 Oh sure sure sit down. I don't mind I thought 00:04:51.459 --> 00:04:55.639 this was gonna be a dull flight My name is Elaine 00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:58.740 frame. Oh, I'm Steve Nash pleased to have you 00:04:58.740 --> 00:05:03.449 as a traveling companion I'm pleased too. Are 00:05:03.449 --> 00:05:06.410 you going to be in Paris long, mister? Nash, 00:05:06.889 --> 00:05:10.069 call me Steve. So seldom I get called mister. 00:05:10.189 --> 00:05:14.569 I'm not sure whether I'm the one. Stephen, are 00:05:14.569 --> 00:05:16.709 you going to be in Paris long? Well, it all depends 00:05:16.709 --> 00:05:22.370 on business. Are you? No. No, I was rushing back 00:05:22.370 --> 00:05:24.910 to... Well, you see, my aunt and my brother are 00:05:24.910 --> 00:05:27.730 in Paris, and I was with them until last Thursday 00:05:27.730 --> 00:05:30.250 when I had to fly back to New York. Up and back 00:05:30.250 --> 00:05:32.949 across the Atlantic, I'm impressed. This is my 00:05:32.949 --> 00:05:35.730 first time over. I'm as excited as a kid. Your 00:05:35.730 --> 00:05:39.490 first time? Well, that must be exciting. You 00:05:39.490 --> 00:05:41.730 must let us show you the sights. Nothing I'd 00:05:41.730 --> 00:05:58.389 like better, Elaine. Stephen Nash, Federal Narcotics 00:05:58.389 --> 00:06:01.569 Bureau. That's right. Come in, come in, please. 00:06:02.009 --> 00:06:08.550 I've been expecting you. May I say that we are 00:06:08.550 --> 00:06:11.629 not pleased by this visit? I'm sorry, I didn't 00:06:11.629 --> 00:06:14.730 set it up. Oh, it is not personal, you understand. 00:06:15.209 --> 00:06:18.829 But we feel that France is, how shall I say it, 00:06:19.389 --> 00:06:22.449 is being insulted by the charges that we are 00:06:22.449 --> 00:06:24.910 the center of the illicit narcotics trade in 00:06:24.910 --> 00:06:27.629 Europe. Inspector. A lot of heroin is getting 00:06:27.629 --> 00:06:30.029 into the states. We know it's coming from France. 00:06:30.110 --> 00:06:33.389 Well, that is doubtful. In the last six weeks, 00:06:33.430 --> 00:06:36.370 we have intercepted and destroyed over 100 pounds 00:06:36.370 --> 00:06:38.709 of refined heroin coming into New York alone. 00:06:38.930 --> 00:06:42.209 From France? Definitely. Three men from my department 00:06:42.209 --> 00:06:44.970 have died in the operation, and that is no exaggeration. 00:06:45.290 --> 00:06:49.029 Well, as you say, it is foolish for me to fence 00:06:49.029 --> 00:06:51.790 with you. That is not my job. As I understand 00:06:51.790 --> 00:06:54.949 it, Inspector, your job is not to question nor 00:06:54.949 --> 00:06:59.689 to argue. Your job is to cooperate. That was 00:06:59.689 --> 00:07:01.769 the information handed down to my boss from the 00:07:01.769 --> 00:07:05.550 State Department. You may be assured of our cooperation. 00:07:27.629 --> 00:07:30.709 Harrington frame, Helene's brother. Oh, hi, I'm 00:07:30.709 --> 00:07:33.230 Steve Nash. Yes, well, hello, hello. Sit down, 00:07:33.290 --> 00:07:35.149 sit down. Helene should be back in a minute. 00:07:35.310 --> 00:07:37.050 Just stepped out to a bit of last -minute shopping. 00:07:38.449 --> 00:07:42.689 That you, Helene? Oh, Auntie, this is that chap 00:07:42.689 --> 00:07:45.170 that Helene met on her flight back, Mr. Stephen 00:07:45.170 --> 00:07:48.610 Nash. This is our Aunt Phyllis, Mrs. Starrum. 00:07:48.930 --> 00:07:52.129 Oh, how do you do, Mr. Nash? How do you do, Mrs. 00:07:52.410 --> 00:07:54.910 Starrum? Oh, please, please call me Phyllis. 00:07:55.209 --> 00:07:58.069 Mrs. Stowers reminds me that I'm an old widow 00:07:58.069 --> 00:08:01.149 woman. He's going to be in Paris long, Stephen. 00:08:01.509 --> 00:08:04.490 Oh, uh, two, three weeks, perhaps longer. Auntie 00:08:04.490 --> 00:08:07.129 thinks of herself as an unofficial tourist bureau. 00:08:07.529 --> 00:08:09.490 Feels she must take her fellow countrymen under 00:08:09.490 --> 00:08:12.490 her wing and show them her Paris. Oh, you be 00:08:12.490 --> 00:08:15.930 quiet. I just want to be pleasant. Don't you 00:08:15.930 --> 00:08:18.610 like people who are pleasant, Stephen? Oh, uh, 00:08:18.689 --> 00:08:22.810 yeah. Yeah, of course. I don't suppose that Harrington 00:08:22.810 --> 00:08:25.870 or Helene has told you about trouble. Oh, good 00:08:25.870 --> 00:08:28.009 Lord. Phyllis, must you tell everyone you meet? 00:08:28.430 --> 00:08:30.389 Mr. Nash has only been here a few minutes, and 00:08:30.389 --> 00:08:32.450 you want to burden him with a story. Well, I 00:08:32.450 --> 00:08:34.710 must say it's rather a traumatic experience, 00:08:34.809 --> 00:08:37.909 wouldn't you say, Stephen? To lose emeralds worth 00:08:37.909 --> 00:08:44.629 150 ,000? $150 ,000? Oh, that must be Helene. 00:08:44.950 --> 00:08:47.149 Let her in, Harrington. Phyllis is angry with 00:08:47.149 --> 00:08:49.690 me. She always calls me Harrington when she's 00:08:49.690 --> 00:08:54.529 annoyed. Oh, Helene. Is Mr. Nash here yet? Oh, 00:08:54.549 --> 00:08:57.490 indeed, yes. Phyllis and I have been staging 00:08:57.490 --> 00:09:00.570 a little domestic spat to keep him amused. Well, 00:09:00.769 --> 00:09:03.929 I wasn't amused. And I'm sure that this nice 00:09:03.929 --> 00:09:07.070 Mr. Nash wasn't amused either. I'm certain he 00:09:07.070 --> 00:09:10.629 wasn't. Hello, Steve. Helene. Sorry I was late 00:09:10.629 --> 00:09:13.409 and allowed my abrasive brother and aunt to put 00:09:13.409 --> 00:09:16.509 on a show for you. I enjoyed every moment, Helene. 00:09:26.250 --> 00:09:29.549 Any clear thoughts, Steve? Oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't 00:09:29.549 --> 00:09:31.669 have let the maitre d' Cedis hear in the window 00:09:31.669 --> 00:09:36.690 with a view of Notre Dame and the river. It is 00:09:36.690 --> 00:09:39.769 beautiful, isn't it? I was worried that perhaps 00:09:39.769 --> 00:09:42.129 you might feel that I've steered you to a tourist 00:09:42.129 --> 00:09:45.490 trap. This place is frightfully expensive, you 00:09:45.490 --> 00:09:48.370 know. That's great. I'm on an expense account. 00:09:48.590 --> 00:09:51.870 Stop worrying. All right, I shall. And speaking 00:09:51.870 --> 00:09:55.169 of worry... You seem to have something bothering 00:09:55.169 --> 00:09:58.309 you. Is it something personal? Well, it's about 00:09:58.309 --> 00:10:01.889 my aunt and Harrington. Yeah? Well, you see, 00:10:02.470 --> 00:10:05.549 my aunt has lost a very valuable piece of jewelry. 00:10:05.590 --> 00:10:08.470 Oh, the emeralds? You know. One of the first 00:10:08.470 --> 00:10:10.570 things she told me when I caught with a hundred 00:10:10.570 --> 00:10:13.889 thousand dollars or more. They're insured for 00:10:13.889 --> 00:10:16.049 a hundred and twenty thousand. Why should she 00:10:16.049 --> 00:10:21.289 worry? She's not worrying. I am. The emeralds 00:10:21.289 --> 00:10:26.990 are not lost. straight or stolen. It's just a 00:10:26.990 --> 00:10:29.970 stump to bilk the insurance company. She's being 00:10:29.970 --> 00:10:32.750 very foolish. She's desperate. She's completely 00:10:32.750 --> 00:10:35.090 without money. For that matter, both Harrington 00:10:35.090 --> 00:10:38.309 and I are too. If they go through with this insurance 00:10:38.309 --> 00:10:39.669 swindle, they're going to be in big trouble. 00:10:40.070 --> 00:10:41.950 Even a professional crook would have serious 00:10:41.950 --> 00:10:45.509 problems in there. Rank amateurs. When I went 00:10:45.509 --> 00:10:47.470 back to New York to see if I could raise some 00:10:47.470 --> 00:10:50.870 money. Oh, no good, eh? Aunt Phyllis has been 00:10:50.870 --> 00:10:54.169 to the well too often. No credit. Well, why doesn't 00:10:54.169 --> 00:10:57.549 she sell the emeralds, honestly? Well, I believe 00:10:57.549 --> 00:11:00.570 it's Harrington's idea, but he wants her to sell 00:11:00.570 --> 00:11:06.190 them to some... Offense? Yes. And also collect 00:11:06.190 --> 00:11:09.590 the insurance. He's made several tentative moves 00:11:09.590 --> 00:11:12.850 in that direction. He's spoken to several mysterious 00:11:12.850 --> 00:11:17.029 callers. I don't know how far the transaction 00:11:17.029 --> 00:11:37.799 has gone. What? No, no, thanks, sir. What a town. 00:11:38.179 --> 00:11:41.799 Even the taxi drivers have agents. You will not 00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.639 make a move, Messier. It is a revolver that is 00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:57.100 pressing into your back. Perhaps you underestimated 00:11:57.100 --> 00:12:00.659 your strength, Keb. The blow on the head? No, 00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:06.039 he'll be all right. We dropped her at the Concord. 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:09.100 That is the hotel where she is staying, is it 00:12:09.100 --> 00:12:16.299 not? Yes. Nash, can you hear me? Ah, you are 00:12:16.299 --> 00:12:20.480 opening your eyes. That is better. Unfortunately, 00:12:21.139 --> 00:12:25.059 Geb found it necessary to persuade you to come 00:12:25.059 --> 00:12:28.500 with him. Oh, yeah. It's a neat little persuader 00:12:28.500 --> 00:12:31.480 he used. Right in the back of my head. Thanks. 00:12:33.139 --> 00:12:37.299 Don't try to move yet, Mr. Nash. Who are you? 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.279 I? You do not know me? I am quite well known. 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:46.139 I am Orestes Kolodinos. Rings no bells. Why should 00:12:46.139 --> 00:12:49.220 you try to make me come here? Wait a minute. 00:12:50.179 --> 00:12:52.600 Where is she? What have you done with her? Compose 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:56.129 yourself, Mr. Nash. I take it you are referring 00:12:56.129 --> 00:12:59.690 to Miss Elaine Frien? Where is she? Back at her 00:12:59.690 --> 00:13:04.509 hotel. I had her sent back immediately. We did 00:13:04.509 --> 00:13:10.769 not want to speak to her. Just you. Okay. You 00:13:10.769 --> 00:13:14.509 have the floor, Mr. Kalabanos. Kaladenos, Mr. 00:13:14.730 --> 00:13:19.169 Nash. It is an old name. In my country, a revered 00:13:19.169 --> 00:13:22.899 name. I'll do my best to remember. Well, continue. 00:13:23.179 --> 00:13:26.379 A question, monsieur. Why are you in France? 00:13:26.620 --> 00:13:30.279 As we say at home, none of your business. I like 00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:33.480 you, Monsieur Nash. You are refreshingly candid. 00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:39.879 You are working for FNB. You are a trusted, intelligent 00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:42.840 worker. Well thought of. Thanks for the information. 00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:46.120 When I get back, I'll put in for a raise. If 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:57.250 you get back, monsieur. If you get back. There 00:13:57.250 --> 00:14:01.389 is no doubt in Steve's mind that Caledinos would 00:14:01.389 --> 00:14:05.669 and could carry out his threat. Three men had 00:14:05.669 --> 00:14:08.990 already been permanently silenced, and it was 00:14:08.990 --> 00:14:11.590 not likely that Caledinos would hesitate at the 00:14:11.590 --> 00:14:27.710 fourth. I'll be back shortly with Act Two. After 00:14:27.710 --> 00:14:31.210 his meeting with Caledinos, Steve was taken back 00:14:31.210 --> 00:14:34.669 to his hotel. It was too late to do anything 00:14:34.669 --> 00:14:38.669 but call Elaine to reassure himself of her safety. 00:14:39.929 --> 00:14:42.509 It may have occurred to him that his feelings 00:14:42.509 --> 00:14:45.070 for her were more than that of a casual friend, 00:14:45.929 --> 00:14:48.210 and the sound of her voice on the phone convinced 00:14:48.210 --> 00:14:55.840 him of her personal concern for his safety. They 00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:57.759 told me that you'd been driven back to your hotel, 00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:00.879 but I wanted to be sure. I saw that man hit you. 00:15:01.220 --> 00:15:04.820 There was a car waiting. He forced me into the 00:15:04.820 --> 00:15:08.320 car, and they dragged you in. Oh, you were so 00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:10.759 white, I thought... With my hard head, you needn't 00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:12.899 have worried. I'll tell you all about it when 00:15:12.899 --> 00:15:17.100 I see you. When? When will I see you? There's 00:15:17.100 --> 00:15:19.559 so many things to ask you. I'm sorry, I can't 00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:38.679 tell you what time. I'll call you again. And 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:41.240 quite our room is here. It could not have occurred. 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.919 I tell you, he told me that his name was Carladinas. 00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:48.539 It could not be he. It is a, how do you say, 00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:51.700 imagination, hallucination. This lump on my head 00:15:51.700 --> 00:15:54.340 is not the result of a vivid imagination, Inspector. 00:15:54.700 --> 00:15:57.379 And also I have a witness. I was with a Miss 00:15:57.379 --> 00:16:00.820 Helene Frayne when the incident occurred. Frayne? 00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:04.320 Frayne is an English name? Possibly English in 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.240 origin, but she's an American. She has a husband 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:10.669 by name... Arrington, Fring? No, that's her brother. 00:16:11.129 --> 00:16:15.649 Ah, this is a most interesting development. Sir 00:16:15.649 --> 00:16:19.789 Fring was here not 20 minutes before you to report 00:16:19.789 --> 00:16:23.450 that his aunt, Madame Philistero, had been robbed 00:16:23.450 --> 00:16:26.590 of a valuable collection of emeralds. I believe 00:16:26.590 --> 00:16:30.690 he estimated the jewels to be worth, um, I have 00:16:30.690 --> 00:16:36.820 the report here. Yes, 700 ,000 francs. In dollars, 00:16:37.259 --> 00:16:40.480 150 ,000. Look, Inspector, let's stay with my 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:42.960 problem. What are you going to do about Kolodinos? 00:16:43.059 --> 00:16:47.460 Do? But you are jesting, Monsieur. Monsieur Kolodinos 00:16:47.460 --> 00:16:51.340 is a very rich, very powerful man. So we can 00:16:51.340 --> 00:16:53.659 get away with hitting a man over the head and 00:16:53.659 --> 00:16:56.019 forcibly detaining him, kidnapping him, threatening 00:16:56.019 --> 00:16:59.179 him? Monsieur Kolodinos could not have been involved 00:16:59.179 --> 00:17:01.899 in this matter. What do you mean? I spoke to 00:17:01.899 --> 00:17:05.140 him. He introduced himself. He insisted that 00:17:05.140 --> 00:17:08.339 I pronounce his name correct. It was not Kolodinos, 00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:11.119 Monsieur. Who was it then? What was this man's 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:13.279 purpose in posing as Kolodinos? That, Monsieur, 00:17:13.599 --> 00:17:17.619 I cannot answer. But I know that it could not 00:17:17.619 --> 00:17:21.380 have been Kolodinos. He is just at this time, 00:17:21.980 --> 00:17:25.920 in 1900 hours, arriving in France, at Orly Airport, 00:17:26.220 --> 00:17:50.490 in his own plane. I wasn't expecting you to kiss 00:17:50.490 --> 00:17:54.630 me. Don't you think we ought to shut the door? 00:17:56.509 --> 00:17:59.609 I wanted to take you 20 minutes after we met 00:17:59.609 --> 00:18:03.349 on the plane. I wanted you to 13 minutes after 00:18:03.349 --> 00:18:11.450 it. Damn, let's ignore it. You better answer 00:18:11.450 --> 00:18:22.279 it. Oh dear. Yes, he's here. Steve, it's for 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:24.619 you. New York calling. Oh, yeah, I left word 00:18:24.619 --> 00:18:27.119 of my hotel where I was gonna be. Here, Don. 00:18:27.220 --> 00:18:31.980 Oh, thanks. Hello? Steve, this is Hal Borden 00:18:31.980 --> 00:18:34.319 in New York. Oh, right, Chief. You got my cable? 00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:36.420 Yeah, and I have all the info you requested, 00:18:36.420 --> 00:18:39.339 but I can't give it to you where you are. Incidentally, 00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:42.339 where are you? Oh, suite 1013 at the Concord 00:18:42.339 --> 00:19:31.690 Hotel. All right, it's a friend. mysterious, 00:19:31.690 --> 00:19:34.549 rushing off to the Gardunard to receive a phone 00:19:34.549 --> 00:19:38.170 call at three o 'clock in booth three? Oh, I 00:19:38.170 --> 00:19:40.509 almost forgot. What? When I came to the hotel 00:19:40.509 --> 00:19:42.490 just now, the clerk at the desk could give me 00:19:42.490 --> 00:19:45.250 a message for you. Hang on, I got it here someplace. 00:19:45.609 --> 00:19:49.049 To me? I think it's for your brother. What did 00:19:49.049 --> 00:19:52.750 I do with it? Ah, darn it. Well, don't be upset. 00:19:53.069 --> 00:19:55.029 It's probably nothing important. Hang on, hang 00:19:55.029 --> 00:20:01.230 on. I can remember it. It was very short. What 00:20:01.230 --> 00:20:06.789 yeah, it was sound sort of Arabic El Moray EL 00:20:06.789 --> 00:20:12.950 M O R E Y ever hear of it before I know Maybe 00:20:12.950 --> 00:20:15.730 I'm not sure you seemed a bit upset when I mentioned 00:20:15.730 --> 00:20:20.170 it Well, I was actually I I think it's the man 00:20:20.170 --> 00:20:22.529 Harrington has been trying to contact about the 00:20:22.529 --> 00:20:26.130 sale of the emeralds. Yes We've had several calls 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:29.299 I've heard him deep in muffled conversation on 00:20:29.299 --> 00:20:31.579 the phone at least three times in the last week. 00:20:31.900 --> 00:20:34.059 Helene, you can't let them... You've got to help 00:20:34.059 --> 00:20:37.420 me. I'm desperate. I can't think how I can stop 00:20:37.420 --> 00:20:40.559 them. Except by going to the police, as you said. 00:20:41.299 --> 00:20:47.339 Oh, not that. No. That would be the last resort. 00:21:47.950 --> 00:21:50.109 more than a general warning to get the hell out. 00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:41.019 The other night, the one who let me have it on 00:22:41.019 --> 00:22:43.579 the back of the head. Don't you see he's in the 00:22:43.579 --> 00:22:46.480 next booth? Probably hooking up some sort of 00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:50.200 electronic device to listen in on us. He expected 00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:52.319 you there at three. Yeah, you were right. You 00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:54.539 were right about the phone being bugged. But 00:22:54.539 --> 00:22:56.559 we got the jump on him by several minutes because 00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:59.099 I was early. I won't hang up my phone, Chief. 00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:39.910 Stay on the phone. and point the finger at Colladenus, 00:23:40.230 --> 00:23:42.490 and while you're getting Colladenus into trouble 00:23:42.490 --> 00:23:45.210 with the police, you might tell them that they 00:23:45.210 --> 00:23:48.430 got me locked up. I don't think I'll be able 00:23:48.430 --> 00:23:50.930 to explain. Locked up? What are you talking about? 00:23:50.970 --> 00:23:54.289 You're not locked up. No, but by that time I 00:23:54.289 --> 00:23:58.990 will be. Here comes the gondarm now. Bye, Chief. 00:24:04.630 --> 00:24:07.589 It is one thing to point the finger at Colladenus. 00:24:08.329 --> 00:24:12.970 It is another to pin him down. Kaladinos is a 00:24:12.970 --> 00:24:17.089 man used to wielding great power. A very cunning 00:24:17.089 --> 00:24:21.690 and wily antagonist. We'll be back shortly with 00:24:21.690 --> 00:24:38.119 Act 3. Steve Nash's assignment has him feeling 00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:42.079 as though he's chasing phantoms. He keeps reaching 00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:45.200 out to grab something tangible and ends up with 00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:49.660 empty hands. After ten days in Paris, he is as 00:24:49.660 --> 00:24:52.319 much in the dark about a narcotics racket as 00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.400 he was before he came. Carlodinos is probably 00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:00.720 deeply involved. But Carlodinos is untouchable. 00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:07.319 You can close the cell door, guard. Thanks for 00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:09.720 being so prompt, Inspector. I didn't think I 00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:11.940 could stand you by steel for another ten minutes. 00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:15.039 Monsieur Nash, we have received a call from your 00:25:15.039 --> 00:25:17.420 bureau in New York, asking us to come here and 00:25:17.420 --> 00:25:20.319 release you. How they knew you had been arrested 00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:24.079 is a mystery. I told them on the phone. You called 00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:26.819 from here? No, no, when I was making a call to 00:25:26.819 --> 00:25:28.980 my chief in New York from a booth in the Gare 00:25:28.980 --> 00:25:32.220 du Nord. I still do not understand. I knew I 00:25:32.220 --> 00:25:35.259 was in trouble after I hit that man that Colladino 00:25:35.259 --> 00:25:38.519 sent. Colladino? He is becoming, how you say, 00:25:39.079 --> 00:25:41.380 an obsession. You still don't believe he was 00:25:41.380 --> 00:25:44.960 the man? No. And I do not wish to continue this 00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:47.819 useless conversation. You have been released. 00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:50.259 You may leave. Good day. Hey, wait a minute. 00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:52.859 Wait a minute, Inspector. What happened to the 00:25:52.859 --> 00:25:56.019 man I hit? He was treated for his injuries and 00:25:56.019 --> 00:25:59.460 sent home. Hey, let him go. He is called a Venus 00:25:59.460 --> 00:26:01.819 man. He's the one who cracked me over the head 00:26:01.819 --> 00:26:06.029 and took me here. I will not listen to more from 00:26:06.029 --> 00:26:09.869 you. I am three years from retirement, and I 00:26:09.869 --> 00:26:12.769 am not stupid to jeopardize my pension. What's 00:26:12.769 --> 00:26:15.150 your pension got to do with this? What, indeed? 00:26:15.769 --> 00:26:19.250 I have told you that Monsieur Kolodinos is very 00:26:19.250 --> 00:26:23.150 important, very powerful. You're afraid of him. 00:26:23.450 --> 00:26:27.369 I would not exactly say that. Well, I would exactly 00:26:27.369 --> 00:26:30.390 say it. I think he's the fat butterfly I came 00:26:30.390 --> 00:26:33.640 here to catch. And I'm gonna net him with your 00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:49.660 help. Or without it. Mr. Nash! Mr. Nash! Here! 00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:53.680 Well, Mr. Coladino's fancy meeting you here. 00:26:53.740 --> 00:26:56.079 May I give you a lift? Oh, thank you. My head 00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:58.740 still aches when I remember my last ride in your 00:26:58.740 --> 00:27:02.829 Rolls. Get in! We're tying up traffic parking 00:27:02.829 --> 00:27:06.970 here. Come on, you're perfectly safe. Okay, okay. 00:27:09.349 --> 00:27:17.750 Good. Drive on, Andre. As a matter of fact, I 00:27:17.750 --> 00:27:21.309 was anxious to see you, Kalabinos. Really? I 00:27:21.309 --> 00:27:25.190 am flattered. You wanted to say goodbye? Goodbye? 00:27:25.589 --> 00:27:28.910 Yes. Because you are leaving Paris. Where did 00:27:28.910 --> 00:27:31.690 you get that information? I mean, how come I 00:27:31.690 --> 00:27:35.250 haven't heard? You will, Monsieur. You will. 00:27:35.930 --> 00:27:40.569 And you are very lucky, you know? Go on. You 00:27:40.569 --> 00:27:45.769 are alive. Monsieur Nash, you have been walking 00:27:45.769 --> 00:27:50.630 in dangerous territory. And do you know why you 00:27:50.630 --> 00:27:55.069 have survived? Tell me. Because you have been 00:27:55.069 --> 00:27:59.150 completely ineffectual. Because you have discovered 00:27:59.150 --> 00:28:02.730 nothing in all the time you have been here In 00:28:02.730 --> 00:28:06.109 fact your superiors are of the opinion that you 00:28:06.109 --> 00:28:09.329 have wasted your time and your government's money 00:28:09.329 --> 00:28:12.650 So I'm going home in disprace Friday afternoon 00:28:12.650 --> 00:28:18.130 flight 225 International suppose I decide to 00:28:18.130 --> 00:28:21.549 Stay on until I've nailed you that would be a 00:28:21.549 --> 00:28:25.960 very unfortunate decision Learn to quit when 00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:29.299 you're ahead. You are ahead right now. Well, 00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:33.279 I want to thank you for everything. All the arrangements. 00:28:33.980 --> 00:28:38.519 Very neat. Very efficient. Thank you. And now 00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:41.200 I should like to drop you at your destination. 00:28:41.579 --> 00:28:45.859 My hotel? I was thinking, perhaps, that you would 00:28:45.859 --> 00:28:49.660 be going to the American Embassy. There to call 00:28:49.660 --> 00:28:53.890 your superior in New York. Chief Borden. and 00:28:53.890 --> 00:28:57.230 verify the information that I have given you. 00:29:03.769 --> 00:29:07.130 Morning here, Steve. Right, Chief. Been trying 00:29:07.130 --> 00:29:11.630 to reach you all day. I haven't got good news 00:29:11.630 --> 00:29:14.690 for you. I know, I know. I'm coming home Friday. 00:29:15.450 --> 00:29:17.789 I'm sorry, Steve. I'm just following orders. 00:29:17.970 --> 00:29:20.609 Don't bother to explain, Chief. Someone over 00:29:20.609 --> 00:29:24.710 here doesn't like me, that is. Maybe because 00:29:24.710 --> 00:29:27.569 I'm getting close to something, beginning to 00:29:27.569 --> 00:29:30.490 press where it hurt. Well, if you want it straight, 00:29:31.230 --> 00:29:33.769 we got the info that you were having a big thing 00:29:33.769 --> 00:29:37.630 with a certain Miss Helene Frayne, spending government 00:29:37.630 --> 00:29:40.170 bread on her fancy restaurants, things like that. 00:29:40.569 --> 00:29:43.910 Yeah, no mention of Orestes Kolodinos in all 00:29:43.910 --> 00:29:47.869 the memos on me. No, not a thing. Marvelous. 00:29:48.289 --> 00:29:50.490 It's simply astounding how that overweight olive 00:29:50.490 --> 00:29:52.769 salesman can be everywhere at the same time. 00:29:52.940 --> 00:29:55.779 wield influence strong enough to get our government 00:29:55.779 --> 00:29:59.240 to back down and still not show himself. Steve, 00:30:00.339 --> 00:30:05.200 I'm sorry. Yeah. I'm not fired yet, am I? No, 00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:09.960 not yet. It's nice to know where you stand. I'm 00:30:09.960 --> 00:30:15.559 still employed until Friday. That gives me three 00:30:15.559 --> 00:31:17.900 and a half days. I left messages. I was in jail. 00:31:18.539 --> 00:31:20.859 Jail? Yeah, I ran into the buzzard who hit me 00:31:20.859 --> 00:31:23.640 that night. Oh, that night? Yeah, I was making 00:31:23.640 --> 00:31:25.599 that overseas call with the guard who knew her 00:31:25.599 --> 00:31:27.460 when I noticed him getting into the booth next 00:31:27.460 --> 00:31:30.680 to mine. What a coincidence. No, that was no 00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:33.339 coincidence. Someone knew I was to be there at 00:31:33.339 --> 00:31:36.599 3 o 'clock and tipped him off. I hit him and 00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:41.119 Jean -Dame... Say, you've been packing. Are you 00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:43.240 leaving Paris? Well, that's what I wanted to 00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:45.859 tell you. We're flying to New York on Friday. 00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:48.220 Friday? I'm going back on Friday, too. Flight 00:31:48.220 --> 00:31:52.500 225 International. You're kidding. Oh, that's 00:31:52.500 --> 00:31:56.579 our flight. Oh, Steve, that's wonderful. Oh, 00:31:56.579 --> 00:31:59.940 we'll have six whole hours together. I'm speaking 00:31:59.940 --> 00:32:02.039 of coincidence. I'm beginning to wonder if it 00:32:02.039 --> 00:32:04.299 is really that or if someone isn't programming 00:32:04.299 --> 00:32:07.079 my whole life to suit his own wishes. I don't 00:32:07.079 --> 00:32:09.240 understand you. Oh, I'm just talking to myself. 00:32:10.099 --> 00:32:11.839 You're going to be a wee bit overweight, Elaine, 00:32:11.859 --> 00:32:14.440 all these boxes and... Packing crates are they 00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:17.920 going with you? Oh heavens? No? We'll just carry 00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:20.299 suitcases. This will all be sent by freighter. 00:32:20.299 --> 00:32:26.240 Oh, I see ship via SS Andreas Bordeaux. Is that 00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:28.880 a French ship or what? I wouldn't know Harrington 00:32:28.880 --> 00:32:31.099 made all the arrangements. Oh speaking of your 00:32:31.099 --> 00:32:34.980 brother. How's his little swindle going? I'm 00:32:34.980 --> 00:32:37.319 afraid that it's all been settled. I saw today. 00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:40.039 Well, he seems to have a great deal of money 00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:42.829 on him And Auntie's out shopping at the most 00:32:42.829 --> 00:32:46.390 expensive couturier in Paris. What about you, 00:32:46.410 --> 00:32:51.289 Elaine? I couldn't do it, Steve. I couldn't turn 00:32:51.289 --> 00:32:54.470 them in. Oh, the whole thing's a mess. I feel 00:32:54.470 --> 00:32:57.710 helpless. Well, take heart. They may get caught 00:32:57.710 --> 00:33:00.849 yet. Wait till they try to collect the insurance 00:33:00.849 --> 00:33:05.549 money. Oh, Phyllis. Oh, I am exhausted. Utterly 00:33:05.549 --> 00:33:09.160 exhausted. One doesn't realize how... Tiring 00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:14.559 shopping for clothes can be. Oh, hello. You're 00:33:14.559 --> 00:33:18.119 Mr. Roe. Nash, Mrs. Stone. Oh, of course, of 00:33:18.119 --> 00:33:21.619 course. Nash, Philip Nash. Now, where did we 00:33:21.619 --> 00:33:25.359 meet your man? Right here, Philip. Not more than 00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:28.779 ten days ago. And his name is Stephen, not Philip. 00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:35.119 Oh, yes. And? And? And he's the man I'm going 00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:39.339 to marry. If you'll have me. Will you Steve? 00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:55.299 Will I? I thought you'd never ask. Hello? Chief, 00:33:55.920 --> 00:34:00.559 Steve. You know what time it is? Yes, eight o 00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:11.420 'clock in the morning. I'm in Bordeaux. What 00:34:11.420 --> 00:34:13.480 the hell are you doing in Bordeaux? I'll explain 00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:15.639 it to you later. Just tell me this. You mentioned 00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:18.400 that Kolodinos had varied business interests. 00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:21.940 One you mentioned in passing. Shipping? Yes, 00:34:21.960 --> 00:34:25.519 he has. He owns two ships, both under Liberian 00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:28.199 registry. He uses them mainly for his olive oil 00:34:28.199 --> 00:34:31.280 company. Would the name of one of them be the 00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:39.760 S .S. Andreas? I'll be in Paris in a few hours. 00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:42.420 Would you check and call me? Sound like you've 00:34:42.420 --> 00:34:45.199 latched onto something, Steve. I may have. I'll 00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:46.860 tell you about it when I see you. I'm flying 00:34:46.860 --> 00:34:49.840 home this afternoon, remember? Yeah. If I have 00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:52.920 anything, I'll have you to thank. Thanks for 00:34:52.920 --> 00:35:04.760 the tip, Macaulay. Really, I can't understand. 00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:07.639 I distinctly remember ordering all... Three tickets 00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:10.860 for first class. Now they tell me that we have 00:35:10.860 --> 00:35:13.980 two firsts and one tourist. Now don't get so 00:35:13.980 --> 00:35:17.099 worked up about it, Har. I suppose you expect 00:35:17.099 --> 00:35:20.760 me to sit in the tourist class seat? No, I shall. 00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:24.699 Being a martyr, Helene? Nope. But I'll have more 00:35:24.699 --> 00:35:26.780 charming company and tourists than you, dear 00:35:26.780 --> 00:35:32.119 brother. Ah, here he comes now. Nash! That's 00:35:32.119 --> 00:35:35.940 right. Phyllis said he'd be on this flight. Steve! 00:35:36.389 --> 00:35:38.389 Over here. I'm sorry. I'm a little late. I had 00:35:38.389 --> 00:35:40.530 to wait for a call from New York. Hello, Harrington. 00:35:40.710 --> 00:35:43.650 Hello. Please excuse me. I've got to find Phyllis. 00:35:43.829 --> 00:35:46.369 She's buying perfume in the duty -free shops. 00:35:47.010 --> 00:35:49.849 She'll never know what time it is. Don't be too 00:35:49.849 --> 00:35:52.369 long. They'll be calling our flight any minute. 00:35:53.909 --> 00:35:56.650 Oh, Steve, I missed you. Where have you been 00:35:56.650 --> 00:35:58.690 for the last two days? Oh, a few things to wrap 00:35:58.690 --> 00:36:01.469 up before I left Paris. I wanted to take a look 00:36:01.469 --> 00:36:03.829 at a little more of the country. I may not be 00:36:03.829 --> 00:36:07.360 back for years, if ever. Why didn't you tell 00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:10.280 me? I'd have gone with you. Pardon, Mademoiselle, 00:36:10.599 --> 00:36:15.239 Monsieur. Oh, Inspector Boivin. Come to see us 00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:20.440 off, Monsieur? Not exactly. Mademoiselle, Madame 00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:22.940 Starrot, and Monsieur Harington -Frane should 00:36:22.940 --> 00:36:26.599 also be present. They are here? They're here, 00:36:26.659 --> 00:36:29.639 Monsieur Boivin. My aunt is doing some last minute 00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:33.760 shopping. Oh, here they are. I've had the most 00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:39.219 glorious time of day. Oh, Mr. Nash. Hi, Mr. Boivin. 00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:42.599 Well, I'm afraid I'm way, way over my quota. 00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:45.440 I have got to be gallons and gallons and gallons. 00:36:45.820 --> 00:36:49.239 But, uh, we have very little time, and it is 00:36:49.239 --> 00:36:52.119 necessary that all your luggage be examined before 00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:55.960 you board. Examined? At this end? We're going 00:36:55.960 --> 00:36:59.960 out, not coming in. I am sorry, Mr. Regulations, 00:37:00.139 --> 00:37:03.960 if you will be so kind. Regulations? Since when? 00:37:04.440 --> 00:37:08.840 Tuesday, this week. All luggage must be examined 00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:13.179 before departure. Ah, red tape. Bureaucratic 00:37:13.179 --> 00:37:16.260 red tape. If you'd stop arguing, we'd be through 00:37:16.260 --> 00:37:18.900 it in a matter of minutes. Quiet, Halleyton. 00:37:19.380 --> 00:37:23.019 Now, Mr. Poivin, where do we go? Please, be so 00:37:23.019 --> 00:37:26.840 kind as to follow me. You too, Mr. Nash. Through 00:37:26.840 --> 00:37:29.380 this door, please. Our bags are already on the 00:37:29.380 --> 00:37:32.420 plane. They were checked. You will find that 00:37:32.420 --> 00:37:35.219 all your luggage is on that table, ready for 00:37:35.219 --> 00:37:41.780 examination. Now, the attendants will help you, 00:37:42.099 --> 00:37:45.400 but we should like you to open your own luggage. 00:37:46.219 --> 00:37:50.539 Who is first, dear? That's mine. Open, please. 00:37:54.820 --> 00:37:58.179 Now... Let us look inside the case containing 00:37:58.179 --> 00:38:04.300 your articles of toilet, Monsieur. This is toothpaste. 00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:06.940 Is this necessary, Monsieur? Must you remove 00:38:06.940 --> 00:38:09.800 and examine everything in the case? Patience, 00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:14.800 Monsieur. I know what I am looking for. This 00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:18.860 tube is most interesting. Regard, it has been 00:38:18.860 --> 00:38:23.150 opened at the bottom and sealed again. When one 00:38:23.150 --> 00:38:27.030 presses firmly on the tube one discovers that 00:38:27.030 --> 00:38:32.429 there are unnatural lumps within We shall see 00:38:32.429 --> 00:38:39.590 what they are. I take my pocket knife and There 00:38:39.590 --> 00:38:45.650 These are emeralds, wouldn't you say madam? Yes, 00:38:46.130 --> 00:38:48.869 they are my emeralds. Now, would you be so kind 00:38:48.869 --> 00:38:52.539 as to give them to me? Presently, madam Mr. Frane, 00:38:52.760 --> 00:38:57.500 Madame Starrow, you are under arrest. On what 00:38:57.500 --> 00:39:01.139 charges? My nephew did not steal my jewels. I 00:39:01.139 --> 00:39:04.119 gave them to him for safekeeping. You reported 00:39:04.119 --> 00:39:08.179 a theft, Madame, a false theft. A mistake, a 00:39:08.179 --> 00:39:10.699 misunderstanding. We have found the emeralds 00:39:10.699 --> 00:39:15.260 and now we report them found. You are in a conspiracy 00:39:15.260 --> 00:39:18.639 to defraud the insurance company, Madame. That 00:39:18.639 --> 00:39:23.619 is a crime. No. You will both come with me. You, 00:39:23.820 --> 00:39:26.780 Nash, you did this, snooping around. I knew he 00:39:26.780 --> 00:39:29.800 was some sort of a cop, Phyllis. You are clear, 00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:32.980 Manzel. The attendants will see that your luggage 00:39:32.980 --> 00:39:41.480 is placed aboard the plane. So you've finally 00:39:41.480 --> 00:39:46.059 decided to do it, eh, Elaine? Yes. I discovered 00:39:46.059 --> 00:39:49.349 the P .M. Rolls hadn't been sold yet. Also, that 00:39:49.349 --> 00:39:51.289 Phyllis hadn't reported the loss to the insurance 00:39:51.289 --> 00:39:54.730 company. I knew the charges couldn't be too severe 00:39:54.730 --> 00:39:57.489 and would probably be dismissed. Of course, they'll 00:39:57.489 --> 00:40:00.210 probably never forgive you. Oh, I think they 00:40:00.210 --> 00:40:03.789 will in time. And I'll have you to console me, 00:40:04.050 --> 00:40:09.690 Steve. They'll be calling our plane now. Too 00:40:09.690 --> 00:40:11.869 bad Phyllis and Harrington's tickets won't be 00:40:11.869 --> 00:40:16.090 used. Oh, look, there's Boivin. He's alone. I 00:40:16.090 --> 00:40:19.289 guess he sent them off to the bus still. I don't 00:40:19.289 --> 00:40:21.489 envy them their visit. My experience was pretty 00:40:21.489 --> 00:40:31.289 bad Are you being paged your land?

I 00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:57.300 just got to make a telephone call that I'd neglect 00:40:57.300 --> 00:40:59.599 to do. Oh, there's a booth over there. Do you 00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:02.079 want me to come with you? No, no. Wait for me 00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:27.170 here. E -L -M... O. R. E. Y. Yes?

Sailed yesterday for New York. 00:43:00.539 --> 00:43:04.019 One dozen gallon tins in the cargo contain heroin. 00:43:04.739 --> 00:43:07.739 Not olive oil. They'll be found when the ship 00:43:07.739 --> 00:43:10.559 docks in New York. I've wired ahead. I'm sure 00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:13.179 you have.

Come on, Elaine. 00:43:20.440 --> 00:43:24.840 It started that way, I admit. Please believe 00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:35.079 me. I love you. Is that it? Yes, I'm ready. Goodbye, 00:43:35.119 --> 00:43:44.530 Stephen. Steve stood there and silently watched 00:43:44.530 --> 00:43:47.949 the woman he had just begun to love being led 00:43:47.949 --> 00:43:52.389 away by the French police. For long minutes after 00:43:52.389 --> 00:43:55.809 she disappeared through the main doors, he stood 00:43:55.809 --> 00:44:00.429 there without moving. Finally, with an effort, 00:44:00.969 --> 00:44:04.449 he responded to the last boarding call for flight 00:44:04.449 --> 00:44:20.710 225. I'll be back shortly. When Steve Nash got 00:44:20.710 --> 00:44:24.250 off the plane in New York, his chief was waiting 00:44:24.250 --> 00:44:28.510 to congratulate him. But all the praise and promises 00:44:28.510 --> 00:44:32.269 of a promotion couldn't wipe out the last look 00:44:32.269 --> 00:44:36.869 on Helene's face. would stay with him forever. 00:44:38.469 --> 00:44:41.710 Our cast included Paul Hecht, Suzanne Grossman, 00:44:42.070 --> 00:44:46.170 Ruth Warwick, George Petrie, Leon Jani, and Gil 00:44:46.170 --> 00:44:49.369 Mack. The entire production was under the direction 00:44:49.369 --> 00:44:54.110 of Hyman Brown. And now, a preview of our next 00:44:54.110 --> 00:45:02.570 tale. What was that?

I heard the voices of the lovers 00:45:38.179 --> 00:45:43.619 faint and half from inside. George, it's really 00:45:43.619 --> 00:45:48.920 dark, darker than before. There's no light at 00:45:48.920 --> 00:45:55.920 all. I had sealed them in. This is E .G. Marshall 00:45:55.920 --> 00:45:58.480 inviting you to return to our mystery theater 00:45:58.480 --> 00:46:04.380 for another adventure in the macabre. Until next 00:46:04.380 --> 00:46:04.880 time.
