 From Hollywood, it's time now for Johnny dollar There are three police cars here now they've searched the apartment house from top to bottom no Eddie got away I didn't dare make a move to stop and he was going to shoot his sister Well, I don't intend to my job now is to locate a hundred thousand dollars worth of stolen furs not to go after Eddie money It's the same job, isn't it probably did you see that list of his friends Carla gave me? I just put out an APB to bring them in good they weren't all in on that warehouse robbery, but some of them were We've got an interrogation room down here to sort the sheep from the goat. Yeah, I know but first you got to catch your goats Tonight and every weekday night Bob Bailey in the transcribed adventures of the band with the action-packed expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator yours truly Johnny dollar From special investigator Johnny dollar location, Los Angeles, California To the home office mono guarantee insurance company Hartford, Connecticut assignment the silver blue matter Expense account continued item 12 2 cents for the way I felt I Hang up the phone a walk to the window stood there looking out into the street The police were leaving the apartment to carry their search for fugitive Eddie Monty into wider territory And Eddie's sister Carla sat huddled in a corner for Lorne beaten broken-hearted From the window to the view was anything but cheerful dirty cluttered streets lined by row-on-row sagging tenements Drab and gray in the weakening light of late afternoon This was the slums that had spawned Eddie Monty raised and nurtured him made him into a member of a gang And had now sent him fleeing from the police with a gun in his hand And the same slum had bred the others of the gang who'd robbed a warehouse of 80 silver blue mink coats Slug night watchman Albert Grisman into a near-death coma and had murdered a man who tried to give them away Why Johnny what got into him? Why is he ending up this way? I wish I could tell you I did something wrong That's it of course, but but why forget it you did all you could it wasn't enough Sometimes nothing is enough and nobody knows exactly why I loved him I never thought of him as just a nuisance of a kid brother the way a lot of girls do now look you did more than anybody could expect You were a pretty young kid when your folks died too young to have to take on the responsibility of raising a teenage brother I tried I tried hard and I thought I was doing all right until lately Now so it didn't work and what's happened is breaking your heart Well, that can't be changed But just remember this one thing you did the best you could and that's all anybody can do so don't blame yourself Tell me something Johnny. Yeah You're wearing a gun. I Don't think yet. He knew it when he ran from here Maybe you couldn't have used it to disarm him not when he was on the verge of killing you, but you could have drawn it and killed him He was careless. He gave you several chances Why didn't you? I Don't know Thank You Johnny I'd like to look through Eddie's room if you don't mind. All right, I'll go with you This way. It's down the hall. Thanks. Somehow. I still can't believe it not the killing at least Eddie is just not that kind. Well, the kid gets under pressure sometimes it gets pushed overboard Maybe we'll know more when they pick him up What if he what if he tries to resist arrest? You know the answer to that. Oh, I hope he doesn't Well, here it is This has been Eddie's room since he was 13. It ought to tell something The main thing at the moment is to find something that tells where he might go to hide out I've also got a hundred thousand dollars worth of first to locate you. You go ahead and look around Whatever you want. Okay, thanks. I'll be in the living room. You call me if you want me For the sake of company I switched on a beat-up record player in the corner And I looked at six years of a boy's life accumulated in one room comic books, hot rod magazines, school mementos, knick-knacks, photographs Junk mostly to anybody but the owner I went through all of it and through the drawers and chests and through his clothes nothing I looked over the photographs stuck in the mirror attacked on the wall Some of the names on the boys pictures were the same as those on the list Carla had given to the police There were a few pictures of girls and a lot of pictures of hot rods. I Picked up an envelope of loose photographs lying in the dressing They were views of a second-hand panel truck and in all of the pictures Eddie was standing beside the truck with obvious pride of ownership One of the views showed the front license plate. I turned the envelope over The film had been developed less than two weeks before. I called Carla back into the room and asked her about it No, no, I didn't know he had a car or a truck rather It may not be his but I'll lay odds that it is that look on his face is a dead giveaway I don't know He sure kept it a secret He never brought it here once. Do you recognize the background on those pictures? No, no, I don't It looks like a storage yard or an industrial place of some kind, doesn't it? Yeah, I'd call it that Do you mind if I take these with me? Of course not Why the gang had to use something to haul those furries away from the warehouse But if if Eddie was keeping the truck a secret from me It was because he was planning to use it for the robbery that one or some other one Johnny He was in on it all along Look Carla I've got a hunch Eddie is the leader of that gang. I think the truck was used in the robbery And I think when we find it, we'll find the furs and we'll find Eddie See you later, Carla Expense account item 13 a dollar 85 taxi fare from Carla's apartment to the police headquarters office of lieutenant Garcia Oh, Johnny, I've been trying to locate you Oh, what's up? We picked up two of those kids on Carla Montes lists friends of Eddie's. Wow, that's a start not with one of them He's in the clear perfect alibi. We have something on the other one though Want to help me talk to him? Yeah, sure Oh say here are some photographs I picked up in Eddie's room a while ago We should take a look at them Garcia. All right, let's see them The pictures were taken about two or three weeks ago Now this truck is his his sister doesn't know about it. Yeah, he sure got that on our look on his face. Yeah, he sure is That second one there shows the license number. See? Yeah. Yeah, I see it You think they might have used this in the robbery, Johnny? It's a possibility And we're not exactly swamped with angles I was wondering too if you happen to recognize that background behind the truck. No Oh, but it looks like it might be done in that area somewhere the warehouse district Look, why don't you get some copies made circulate them and see if any of your boys can tag that place? No, you insurance leaks do get ideas sometimes. Oh, you'd be amazed. All right. I'll do it And now let's go down and talk to that kid Interrogation room 519 was on the fifth floor air walls painted gray a business like room without a dormant or compromise furnished only with the necessary table chairs and lights We stopped in the anti-roman looked in through the one-way glass window The boy waited alone at the interrogation table Trying to put up a tough defiant front But failing by the tremble of a lip and the occasional flick of his eyes The kid stiffened when he heard the door open, but he didn't turn around He just sat there at the table Braced and waiting you can take that chair at the side Johnny. Okay. Thanks What's your name? You already know it. I said, what's your name? Mario Santoris at your right name. Yeah, where do you live? Our actual place my aunt ever been arrested before Mario. No Hey, you've got kind of a bad memory, haven't you? Why The timber of last year arrest made by officer cj Barton Charge possession of stolen articles uncapped to auto radios one camera. I wasn't convicted I asked if you'd ever been arrested not convicted. It was a frame up. I didn't have any evidence No, apparently not Witnesses for the prosecution refuse to testify case dismissed Here, what are you going to claim this time mario another frame up? I don't know why you brought me in here I don't know anything about anything that bad memory again I just don't know what you're talking about It's lucky for us that Eddie money had such a good memory. Yes. What about Eddie? Huh? What do you mean? Is he a friend of yours? All right, no one he's got a fine memory that boy Too bad. You can't remember things the way he does. What are you talking about? Oh, that's true. All right, Eddie remembers everything that happened what he did what mario did I don't know what you mean. Well, that's because of your bad memory mario Well, yet he remembers the name of every boy who was in on that job and just what each one of them did What job that warehouse robbery? Have you forgotten about that? I don't know anything about any robbery. Well, there's been a lot of talk At least you've heard about it. Haven't you? I don't know anything about it. Maybe you've just forgotten I don't know what you're talking about. When did you see Eddie last? I don't remember. Have you seen him since the robbery? No, how can you be sure? You said you hadn't heard of any robbery I haven't still you haven't seen Eddie since the robbery What? Come on mario. Tell us about it I guess maybe I did hear about it. So Well, why shouldn't I hear it was in the papers? Everybody's been talking about it. So what if I did hear it? I don't prove anything that you said you hadn't heard so I forgot The guy can forget something can he? Yeah, if he's got a bad memory he can. And mario's got a real bad memory, johnny Not Eddie though. He remembers how you guys loaded those furs into his truck How you waited across the street and redwellers until the prowl car passed How you slugged the night watchman albert christmas? That's a lie. How do you know it is mario? You don't even remember it Eddie does though He even remembers the next night When you stabbed redweller to death to keep him from coming to me No No, I didn't do that of course you did You don't think yet. He would lie. Do you it's not true make sense to us Is eddie here you pick him up? How would we know what he remembers unless we picked him up? Now, how do you think we got your name out of the telephone book? It's not true what eddie says Well If you've got anything to say we'll listen to it, but I don't think it's necessary. Do you johnny?
