Sure Tell me How long you know no last night you sure I'm sure Any idea what happened? Oh, yeah. Yeah Someone was looting the place back door was Jimmy's and some stuff missing this day must have interrupted it got herself killed Where is she what the cops? Yes, the cops in here. I Hey That's not Marnie. Did I say it was? Oh No, I thought that Never mind, you know who this is. Yeah, and hotness according to identification in a purse No, it's from New York Taxi driver brought her here about 11 last night from the airport and the coroner says she must have been shot shortly after that You bring your girlfriend Straight here from bells. Yeah, that's new for you. All right That would put her here by 10 30 easy So so the taxi driver says a redheaded gal answered the door and let the Harkness woman in that doesn't prove a thing Oh, no, no, it doesn't I'd like to talk to her though Phil. You know where she lives She lives here doesn't she uh-uh House belongs to mr. Mrs. Allville Edwards. They're out of town. They had called to Chicago. Yes that he was a death in the family And the neighbors don't know anything about this miss miss car was it? Yeah money car Yeah, well, I got a call into Chicago for the Edward's is they ought to clear it up Hi, I'm only yeah, what do you got search? Well, this address book phone numbers from the phone desk in the hall Nobody named car listed. Oh, yeah, okay This note might be something from the big bedroom upstairs another heart. Oh, let's see It's signed money Phil it is let me have a look yeah Dear mrs. Edwards. Thanks for the lovely remembrance. You're very thoughtful I'll tell miss Harkness to make yourself at home. Yeah, whatever that means. I'll keep looking around Do that morning. Oh Well as soon as the Chicago call comes through we'll get our hooks into something look Matthews you might have a look around Oh, help yourself. You got any ideas? Yeah I don't think money had anything to do with it, and I don't know where she lives. Okay. Okay Phil only leave the note with me Yeah, I looked around and try to figure things that didn't figure Money didn't live here, but she knew the Edwards that is she knew mrs. Edwards, and she addressed her as mrs. Edwards and signed herself Marnie made maybe Paul could have been anybody and I wanted to find Marnie before I took up the matter of Paul with Matthews Upstairs by the phone in the master bedroom. I found something sergeant mooney. It overlooked Another address book smaller with phone numbers. I flipped through it There was nothing under C for car, but under M for money. There was a crest view number, but no address I decided to take the book with me Yeah, yeah just leaving oh look Hey what about that car girl? Yeah She may be the sweetest kid in town and she may be a killer you'll never know thanks for the tip and I Didn't call you to get in my way if I find her I'll tell you fair enough. Yeah. Yeah fair enough. Just don't get lost finding her It's kind of a break head start at least I Had a phone number for money that Matthews didn't have and I wasn't for her against him. He knew that I Just couldn't think murder and money in the same thought Until I could I'd string with her if I could find her The morning haze was lifting somewhat as I stopped at a gas station on the strip and used the payphone Would you say this wise? Oh Is Marnie there please No, I look would you be kind enough to give me a home phone I'm sorry, sir. We're not allowed to give out phone. Oh, but I'm an old matter who you are. I can't give you her number Okay, thanks. I Just talked to you a few minutes ago on the phone about money I told you then I tell you now we are not permitted to give out numbers How did you find us? Oh, mr. Felix is in the book and money's not look really this is important I'm doing this for her. I've given mr. Felix my word and I've never broken it. Yeah. Well, I don't doubt it Oh money's friend here. You know the special one. She keeps talking about her all the time. Isn't it strange? I can't remember her name. Hey. Yes. Yes, Peg. Sure. That's the one. Can I talk to her? Well, I oh All right 36 desk, please 36, please. Thank you. I hope this never gets back to mr. Felix I can't imagine what he'd think. Oh, I can't either, but don't worry. My lips are sealed. You blast for me 36 Over here Peggy. It's about money What about money? Well, I don't have a home phone or her address. She wouldn't give it to you, huh? Well, no, she she wouldn't you look all right to me. What's wrong with you? Nothing I'm a nice clean-cut fella. Yeah Looks like yeah What do you want with money? Well, I just want to see her Good enough reason Best in the world. She don't feel too well today. She called me first thing this morning Your fault. Oh No, no, I don't think so. No. Tell me. What did she say when she called? She didn't feel too well. Ah Well now look Peg does money go out to Mrs. Edwards often just when she's called to do her hair Good enough reason. You're all the best in the world. Do I get that phone number? Ridgely 004 oh, oh, yeah, and that's one six three seven north Vermont Apartment B Ridgely 040 1637 north of my department beat and walk softly by a That's the landlady. Yeah. Well, I'll remember. Thanks, Peggy and If you don't find her come back I'll give you mine Peg was something of a profit Among other things Well, there was no answer to my knock at one six three seven north Vermont apartment B in no answer to the phone call I placed in the lobby So I quit walking softly by apartment a knocked there and the doorway was suddenly filled with a solid block of granite Yes, I'm a landlady But if she don't answer the door it makes sense to me she ain't in well Have you seen her this morning ain't seen us and she went to work yesterday morning ain't seen him either her husband husband young man Even if I knew I wouldn't tell you and I was getting proud of my head It could dodge anything from flying darts the door slams near the eyebrow But that was about all I was proud of at the moment. I wasn't exactly closing in on money The landlady snort didn't give me much of a line on Paul if that's who she was exhaling about And there was the matter of Anne Harkness who flew into Los Angeles the night before Just in time to be murdered Well, I drove to a nearby drive-in and mulled over a sandwich Coffee was grim, too. I Was starting in on the routine that begins with if I were money, where would I go when I got a flash of an idea? Ten minutes later. I was banging on another door Oh Marlowe come in arrange for swinging doors first thing tomorrow. I'm sorry Bell, but I got an idea I told you lately. We're not open for lunch. I said I'm sorry. Didn't I it's just Yes, I'm kind of my feet today All right You ought to see what that butcher sent me in the name of prime rib and Charlotte Paul said she'd floundered like a beach Twail all night bad tooth. Well, will you run down and when I got here this was here for you Oh, oh, let's see someone shoved it under the door. I guess that's where I found it Well, I'm the Goshen come in get enough people with put on a floor show Make yourself at home lieutenant. I got work to do if you know that you also know I'm getting nowhere. Yeah, maybe Hey listen, huh? You've been telling me Matthew's tailing you. Yeah, that's what I said Just the boy's been going the same place as you have a little bit later all the way around and along about the second stop The description began to fit you and I look tell me how did your phone call of Chicago come up? Oh We found out where your money car fits in. Oh, yeah That Harkness Dame was a friend from New York who came to call in the Edwitz's and they tried to intercept her when they Got the call about that family death in Chicago. Only they couldn't reach her Now your money told Mrs. Edward she'd stick around the house and wait for the Harkness Dame Is that all? Well, they described some of the stuff that might be missing we checked and it is it is yeah Tell me how do you figure money by now? How can I figure a fill? She's missing Yeah, yeah She is missing isn't she Phil? I said if I found her I'd tell you you remember. Oh, yes, I remember Phil. I just want to make sure you do I Had a reason for not telling Matthews about the note Belle gave me it was signed money All right, but it wasn't the same handwriting. I'd seen in the note. She left for Mrs. Edwards It said Phil meet me at 8 30 tonight in the park above the bluffs at Santa Monica That was all Except 8 30 was like six hours away and it's just dark here at 8 30 And a fella can get killed keeping that kind of an appointment She'll ever wait six hours for something to happen. Oh, it's no fun Neither is the thought that maybe something final has happened to a pretty nice person. I Was almost sure now that Paul was my boy But almost wasn't close enough and I had to find Marnie if she could be found Now I got to the park above the Santa Monica bluffs about 15 minutes early Left my car a block or so away And all the way to the park I watched for a gray Chevy coupe 49 or 50 When you look for them they're hard to see And then I saw it Parking half a block down a guy got out and headed into the park. I let him go got to his car about the time he reached the bluffs I don't know what I thought I'd find but not my wildest dreams that I expect what I found Three minutes later. I was foot the floor boarding it up the coast highway toward Malibu the Seaway Motel 21245 Malibu Road That's the way the parking ticket I lifted from under the windshield wiper on the Chevy red and that was good enough for me I hit two wrong doors before I found the one I wanted and I had a spring the lock money Place rough doesn't he here. Yeah, that's how you risk Nothing get away with it Phil I've been such an idiot You love them a lot, huh? Who Who doesn't love their own kid brother? Paul is your kid brother. Yeah, all mine Write it down somewhere Phil Big sisters don't make good mothers. Take it easy honey. You're okay. Sure. I'm fine First I catch Paul stealing from the Edwards Then I stand there like a zombie and watch him shoot down a woman. He's never seen I'm sorry. I didn't want to drag you into this He asked me who you were when you brought me to the Edwards last night. I'd never heard of you But Paul had and wait a minute wait a minute. That's probably him now. Be careful. Philly's crazy I'll be ready for him right behind the door Yeah, right boyfriend stood me up. We gotta get out of here. Hey. Hey, what is this you? Just a kid I called Matthews and wandered up everything checked everything balanced Paul cried like the baby. He was and blabbed his head off when he came to Monty just cried Funny how many people dispose of anything from mayhem to murder with the phrase He's just a kid I bet someone said that about Capone Dillinger and pretty boy Floyd I'll take money She's What a kid the adventures of Philip Marlowe bringing you Raymond Chandler's most famous character star Gerald Moore are produced and directed by Norman McDonald and written for radio by Kathleen height Featured in the cast were Virginia Greg and Joan Banks with Paul Dubov Jim Nussar June Whittley Shirley Mitchell and Marjorie Bennett Detective Lieutenant Matthews was played by Larry Dubkin Gerald Moore may soon be seen in the Santana production Sirocco The special music is composed by Pierre Garagank and conducted by Wilbur hatch Be sure to listen again next week at the same time when Philip Marlowe says This time a pair of cross-telephone wires put the good neighbor policy into effect To the murderous accompaniment of an off-key xylophone one good neighbor almost kills another good neighbor fellow named Marlowe Lena Romai glamorous song stylist visits Guy Lombardo time tomorrow night on CBS Lena Romai sings Chiu Chiu and I get ideas and that should give folks ideas to not to miss Lovely Lena Romai on Guy Lombardo time tomorrow night Say also on tap over most of these same CBS stations another 30 minutes of Mario Lanza Words and music featuring magnificent Mario sings just as well hot as he does long hair.
