 Hi everyone, this is Chih-chou. And what we're going to do in this video is continue with the comic book reading set number 4 and we're going to have a read through Daredevil number 1. It's one of the key issues for Marvel comics from the 1930s, from the 1960s, from the Silver Age of comics. And it's the first appearance and origin of Daredevil. It's the first appearance of all the secondary characters, Maggie Nelson and Karen Page and sort of introduces the Daredevil universe to us. And this book came out in 1964. And the script for this, the writing for this is done by Stanley. The pencils and the inks for the inside of this for this comic is done by Bill Everett. And the cover for this is done by Jack Kirby and Bill Everett. And Daredevil, the people credited with creating Daredevil are Stanley and Bill Everett, but by all accounts or most accounts anyway, Jack Kirby had a lot to say about the creation of Daredevil. So Jack Kirby should also in my opinion be credited with being one of the creators of Daredevil. And we've talked about Jack Kirby a lot. One of the most influential comic book creators in history, along with Steve Ditko and Will Eisner and Stanley and Wally Wood and a number of other artists and writers as well, right? And Stanley, we know about, we've talked about him before. But Bill Everett, I don't think, I don't remember reading anything else from Bill Everett. Bill Everett's, he was around since the golden age of comics. He actually didn't plan on getting into the comic book medium, just like many other writers and artists really. A lot of people that got into the comic industry in the golden age of comics, they really didn't plan on getting into comic books. There were artists or writers that, you know, were trying to find work and the comic book medium was one of the places that was hiring. So Bill Everett actually, in the 1930s, he worked in advertising. He worked as a draft man, as an art director. And then when he was having a hard time trying to find work, he came across someone that offered him a job or asked him if he could do comic books. And he said that as an artist, as a starving artist goes, he said, sure, he'll do comic books. So what he ended up doing, he started working with Funny's comics. He actually created Namor. He was the creator of Namor, the writer and the artist from Namor, the Submariner. And then, you know, he did some work there. And then he worked with Time Lee and Atlas, which were sort of the companies before Marvel became Marvel, right? So he did a lot of work in the 1930s, 40s, 50s. No, 1940s, 50s. And then in the 1960s, he got involved with Marvel Comics. And he was hired on to do, you know, create new characters, and one of them was Daredevil. And he actually did the pencils and the inks or the artwork only for Daredevil number one, okay? From Daredevil number two to four, it was Joe Orlando doing the pencils and Vince Coletta doing the inks. And then from issue number five to number ten, it was Wally Wood doing the artwork, right? So Bill Leverett, even though he's credited with creating Daredevil, he only did, as far as I know, he only did one issue of Daredevil. He did return to comics after he tried his hand on a few other things and started working as a Submariner and did some stuff on a haul, can strange tales and stuff like this. But unfortunately, he passed away in 1973 at 55, so he didn't get a chance to really reap the rewards other than the initial financial gains that he was getting when he started working for comic books in the 1930s and 40s and 50s, right? Because at the time, comic books were paying good money relative to other types of artwork that people were doing for artists that were doing either as draftsmen, working for advertising agencies and stuff like that. So comic books were paying well. And for the golden age of comics, one thing we have to appreciate is comic books were sort of disruptive innovation that hit the industry where it was new technology coming into play which was allowing companies to do printing of comic books like this and it was something that came about with word balloons being added to artwork, right? As compared to what the yellow kid was and we talked a little about this a way, way long time ago when we started talking about comics. But basically, you can think about the comic book medium as it exists right now as being sort of disruptive innovation that came about in the golden age of comics in the early 1900s 19, I guess, 15, 20, 30 that started hiring a lot of people and you know contributing to the economy, okay? So that's sort of the quick little lowdown on this. Let's crack this open as far as grade goes. And I have this in... because we took down... this was in a frame, right? We did a comic book framing video where I showed you guys how I framed these comics so I framed this comic and I believe in the previous video anyway we took down those frames and I took this out of the frame and replaced it with something else and I put a little video together showing you guys where I replaced all these comics or this comic from the frame and some of the other comics, right? So we took this out to do this reading sort of did a rotation of the art and when I bought this, I bought this at a grade of 4, 4.5 and when I took it out of the frame I sort of took a look at it and I sort of agree with that grading as well this is sort of... I would say this is graded as 4, 4.5 and I sort of put these things in my light this is 2mm sort of to protect it from UV rays and stuff and give it more protection just that a regular comic books back, right? So let's bring this out and let's take a look at this so it sits nice and flat only major flaw from the cover there's some marvel chipping going on down here right at the bottom you can see it there, right? the major flaw with it is there's a hole torn out on Daredevil's knee so... oh yeah, there's a little rip here as well so I sort of looked at this and I would agree that this is grade 4, 4.5 it's not a bad book sort of lower mid-grade or mid-grade depending on who's grading it there's a little bit of chipping there going on it's not pure white, right? there are some issues out there that are nice and white and the back, you know, there's no chunks missing nice and sharp it hasn't been trimmed, right? I don't usually buy any restored comics well, I do have some, you know, tape on them but I don't consider tape as being a restoration and sometimes I thought books where I've seen sort of felt mark on them trying to hide sort of places where you know discolorations and stuff and that's unfortunate that people do that for me it's silly it's a good copy, not a bad copy and let's take a look at this so let's read the text on top of here and this is obviously approved by the comic code, right? censorship, we've talked about that regarding comic book censorship and stuff someone asked me why we're seeing a resurgence in comics or have seen a resurgence in the characters and it's due to the medium the TVs and movies and stuff coming up and video games, of course but I think it has a lot to do with the comic code disappearing so Daredevil number one, here comes Daredevil the man who felt fear, right? remember when we introduced Spider-Man? now we continue the mighty Marvel tradition with Daredevil a worthy companion magazine to such all-time greats as the fabulous Fantastic Four there's a Fantastic Four, right? in this issue, you will meet the most unusual hero of all Matt Murdock fun-loving Fogging Nelson gorgeous Karen Page down here can you guess why Daredevil is different from all other crime fighters? and I showed you guys a couple of years ago I guess before the Daredevil series hit on Netflix I'm just gonna put on my glasses here before the Daredevil series hit on Netflix I did the first comic book haul video that I loaded up on this channel to share with you guys was me sort of buying 100 plus a whole bunch of Daredevil comics from the mid-teens up to the mid-100s or so in anticipation of Daredevil coming out and I bought those comics at an amazing, amazing price those comic lots, right? I think it was 100 plus or close to 100 comics and it bought them for, I don't know, I can't remember two bucks a pop, right? and in this comic Spider-Man and Fantastic Four I think they only appear on the cover, right? and Jack Kirby is the person really that put the cover together okay, Bill Everett contributed a little bit to it as well and that's the, check this out it's almost the same, right? the first page and from what I've read Kirby is the one that did the first design for this and they were sort of running behind schedule and trying to meet that line so what they ended up doing was using Kirby's sketch of here, right? and just the initial sketch to put it on the cover and then Bill Everett sort of finished off the page, right? so depending on where you're getting the information from some people say Jack Kirby is the one that first drew this some people say Bill Everett is the one that first drew this, right? written by Stanley illustrated by Bill Everett so he did the pencils and the inks lettered by Sam Rosen and remember this cover if you are one of the fortunate few who bought this first copy you probably wouldn't part with it for anything amazing Spider-Man number one, right? and I've held this before I had the opportunity to buy this before and that's a story I'll tell you one day, right? that was a university I was given the opportunity to buy this but I'll tell you that story that's a good story so before we get into the reading of this let's again, read the fine print and there's browning on the pages here alright? we're not gonna flip through this because we're gonna read the whole thing I usually wanna show you guys books, we do flip through it but we're not gonna flip through this one we're gonna read the whole thing so I don't want any spoilers on this so let's read the fine print I'm gonna be pretty gentle with this okay because I don't wanna do any more damage to it I like it being mid-grade to a degree but it is well worth it Daredevil is published by Olympia Publications Incorporated Office of Publication 655 Madison Avenue, New York, New York published bimonthly copyright 1964 by Olympia Publications Incorporated I believe that's the first time we're seeing the Olympia Publications I don't remember reading Marvel comics with Olympia Publications in there before alright?

strange tales 120 a quick new way to get into auto mechanics a lot of education stuff going on back then right as is now so matt's going to his room to study our glass here so time has passed by little indication little book lots of studying very nice little cool little details as the years roll by matt murdock does his best to live up to his father's dream he becomes top student in his class forsaking all sports all athletic activity although his heart aches for the thrills of the baseball diamond and the if only dad would let me try out for the team I'd be as good as any of them I just know what I would he's behind the fence talking we're thinking but I can't go against his wishes I can't defy dad after all he's done for me after all his sacrifices I've got to be the son he wants me to be and so young matt murdock goes his lovely way spending every minute he can spare with his books never sharing in the games of the other teenagers the kids the Indian Indian wrestling if only I could go down and join them no one can be as cruel as unthinking youth it is only a matter of time before the neighborhood kids make up a nickname for matt a name he will long remember well well if it ain't all dare devil himself hi dare devil be sure you don't tire yourself out turning all those heavy pages in your school books they're laughing at me they think I'm a sissy when he reaches his room someday I'll show them I'll make them eat those words I'm as strong as any of them as rugged as any of them I'll prove it someday I'll prove it his anger boiling with him the resentful youth strikes out at his dad's punching bag the fury of thunder clap the day will come when no one will ever laugh at me again when hey I knocked the back clean off after repairing the clasp what a numbskull I am why don't I do this every day just to keep in shape it is only natural that the son of a battling murdoch should take to vigorous training the way a duck takes the water and so in the months that followed while his dad is out of town on the boxing circuit he does barbells, rope skips cable pull the bag, he punches the bag rowing machine, the bike no matter how hard he trains the determined teenager never forgets the goal he has set for himself how were things at school this is the way Matt everything alright son guess so dad if you call straight A's alright Matt I know how tough it's been for you for you while the other kids were out playing and having good times but the day will come when you thank me boy you're going to amount to something just the way your mother would have wanted you to but there's one problem murdoch keeps from his son I haven't been able to land a fight in weeks I'm getting too old no manager will take me but I can't let Matt down I've got to keep fighting until he gets through college I home that for the way he's worked all these years finally in desperation murdoch makes a final decision look murdoch you're all washed up and you know it my whole manager has been like you is the fixer and the fixer is the guy earlier there that I was waiting for right the fixer I always swore to myself that I'd steer clear of a guy with his reputation but now I've got no choice I have to get a fight and so well well if it ain't battling murdoch 10 years ago you kicked me out of your dressing room when I offered you a deal but I knew you'd come around sooner or later sure I'll get you some fights and you won't have to take a dive either just because I'm really a soft hearted fool here sign this contract with trembling fingers the middle age fighter grasps the pen as a drowning man with clutch at a straw and then this is the luckiest day of my life now I'll be able to send Matt to college I don't have a thing to worry about excitingly the joyful prize fighter rushes to his apartment only to find Matt, where do I tell you the news Matt, he's not here as fate would have it Matthew Murdoch at that very moment is returning from the library taking the most important few steps of his entire life gee just to help the blind man across the street say, mister, can I give you a hand he didn't seem to hear me he might be deaf too say, there's a truck turn in the corner coming towards him he jacks atomic labs radioactive materials danger slam on the brakes someone's crossing in front of us I can't, something's wrong she won't stop his subtle muscles responding to the emergency with the speed of thought Matt Murdoch hurls towards the scene of impending disaster he's drunk he won't have a chance unless I can reach him in time the swift moving teenager hurls the unsuspecting blind man out of the truck's path but he himself is not so fortunate he saved that man's life most heroic act I've ever seen but a cylinder fell from the truck this truck's face is is it something radioactive don't just stand there someone call an ambulance municipal hospital your son is a very brave lad Mr. Murdoch you must try to be equally as brave as brave in the days ahead the nurses if only it had happened to me instead of him if only I had been there don't dad it could be worse even if I do lose my sight at least I'm alive and days later after the injured boy returns home good news Matt the doctors report says that an operation may restore your sight in a few years after the tissues have healed don't worry I'll still keep on my studies using books written in Braille I'll get my diploma yet you'll see the days that follow Matt Murdoch's studies more than the written word he begins a still more intensive program of physical exercise I don't get it ever since my accident I seem to be able to do lots better than before even without my sight it's as though nature made all my senses far more powerful to compensate for my blindness I wonder could they radioactive elements we struck my eyes have anything to do with my increased powers stranger things have been known to happen just bouncing around everywhere whatever the explanation it is supremely confident self assured Matt Murdoch who finally graduates from high school and is eagerly accepted by a director of admissions of state college where we find him sharing a dormitory room with his new buddy Franklin Foggy Nelson old hound dog how do you do it I study like a demon with all that with all the top grades I guess my dad deserves the credit Foggy he had me steady so hard when I was younger that it all seems to come easy to me now and I won't be surprised if the radiation I absorbed in the accident doesn't have something to do with it too everything seems so easy for me now all my senses are razor sharp my hearing is so acute if someone is in the room with me just by hearing the heartbeat and I never forget an odor once I smell it I could recognize any girl by her perfume or any man by his hair tonic even my fingers have become incredibly sensitive I can tell how many bullets are in a gun just by the weight of the barrel while my sense of taste has become so highly developed that I can tell exactly how many grains of salt are on a piece of pretzel plus but my most important new ability is in the form of a built-in radar that seems to have developed enables me to walk around safely without bumping into anything it is sensing that stuff I feel a strange tingling sensation when I approach any solid object warning me which way to turn he's not even using his cane say son want any help crossing the street no thanks I can make it ping that's what we're seeing little does he suspect I can cross more safely than he can for I have every one of my remaining senses working at an absolute peak capacity meanwhile the career of battling murdoch takes a surprising turn Madison Square Kid Murdoch vs. Pedro probably Garcia's Thursday October 10pm Murdoch KO Sims Murdoch 12th knockout Kid Murdoch favorite here's your dough Murdoch keep it up and you may become big champ someday I can't believe a fixer it all seems like some kind of miracle then after Murdoch leaves wait till the old fool finds out that all his fights were set ups you paid his opponents to take a dial sure I did it to give Murdoch a build up to draw the crowds but he'll learn the facts of life in his next fight that's where I get him to take the count a few days before battling Murdoch's latest fight footsteps I can tell by the weight the distance between each is foggy Nelson hey Matt wait up I want to read you the sports headline it's about your dad he's fighting Dynamite Davis tomorrow night in New York how about that want to go I've already got the tickets foggy one for each of us nice I read the headline before just by running my finger over the page and feeling the impression of the ink what does the headline say Daily Chronicle Kid Murdoch to face Davis number two contender semi something at garden promises thrills and so the next night the fixer said I have to take a dive in the first round tonight in the corner the middle-aged sensation battling Murdoch but my boys here tonight to root for his dad I've always trained him to do his best I can't disappoint him now he thinks Murdoch you're full take it easy what are you doing if you try to double cross me you have to regret it you're supposed to dive now here dive he's winning Matt your dad pulverizing him you can follow the fight perfectly by hearing the sound of each blow each footstep it's my one chance maybe my last chance to do something to make my son proud of me I'm not going to fail him I'm going to win the here I'm going to win pure willpower sheer determination call it what you will but a few seconds later the winner bottling Murdoch in the dressing room you did it dad you proved that nothing's impossible if a man has the courage if a man's not afraid I wanted you to be proud of me Matt my son in the backseat of a dark sedan which quietly pulls away from the radio nobody double crosses the fixer you know what to do Slade yeah boss I know what to do a few minutes later as Matt's happy father leaves the gym no matter what the fixer does I won't care my son is proud of me nothing can ever change that suddenly the sharp explosive sound of a gunshot destroys the silence of night one man's reverie forever within seconds is battling Murdoch he won the big fight tonight he won the big fight somebody must have an awfully sore about his victory and we're not going to rest until we find out who nothing I can do for him it's too late they're pulling a sheet over him after grieving Matt Murdoch has heard this tragic news you've got the snap out of it Matt pull yourself together fella that's what your dad would have wanted we'll be graduating soon and my dad's setting me up in a law office I want you to join me Matt as my partner finally the big day arrives graduation Matthew Murdoch to congratulate you for being chosen class valedictorian you have proven that an alert mind and a strong will can conquer any obstacles thank you sir Matt and he's going to be my partner boy can I pick him as foggy in the background thinking that leaks miles on him as he pulls for those of you interested in the grade of this this table is very nice and tight the next day in New York we're in a business Matt with your brains and my dad's money nothing will stop us Nelson and Murdoch attorney at law the door says come on in and meet the secretary I hired there's Karen my name is Karen Page Mr. Murdoch I hope you'll be pleased with me her voice is like music sounds she's 5 5 feet 4 young and I know she's a lovely man later that night in the furbished room Matt has rented near the office I'll never be able to concentrate on my law work until dad's murderers finally brought the justice but years ago I promised that Matt Murdoch would use his head never become a fighter never depend on my strength the way that I can't break that promise I made and yet with my agility my extra sharp senses there's so much I could do I can't let all my powers go to waste wait I'll see to it that Matt Murdoch never goes does resort to force but somebody else will somebody totally different from Matt Murdoch all I need are some old shirts which I can stitch together I'm no Betsy Ross but I should be able to handle this lucky my touch is so sensitive and even blend the colors for each colored fabric has a different feel to me a few hours later there whenever I whenever I don this costume I'll no longer beat Matt Murdoch but I'll need a new name what if the kids in the old neighborhood could see me now the kids who taunted me called me daredevil that's it daredevil they called me but they meant it as an insult well that's who I'll be the name is perfect I guess that's probably why he doesn't have a D on it yet because there should be a D on his chest right there but he hadn't picked it yet that might be an editing mistake but I think it's there for legit the costume is tight enough to wear under my clothes if need be I'll just make a few finishes finishing touches on the headpiece when I'm through daredevil will be recognized everywhere so he puts the D on the chest even though I don't need it I'll continue to carry a cane as Matt Murdoch that gives me another idea that cane would make a great weapon for daredevil through the long night the unseeing man works his super sensitive finger fingers molding and manipulating his cane far more precisely than any normal craftsman craftsman might do flexible handle showing that that's a flexible handle hinge he's got a hinge on the cane see that line right there I'll hinge it in the middle design a sheath for it it'll be the perfect all purpose weapon use it in a hundred ways it's perfect you can throw it, balance on it use it as a hook for the job at hand I've got to bring my father's murderer to justice tomorrow Saturday the office will be closed so I'll start in the morning and I know just where to begin and so dad's manager was a man called a fixer I have a hunch he deserves that nickname how confidently that blind man walks through the streets guided by his atama induced radar Matt Murdoch reaches his destination this will be a daredevil's first test now to chant change clothes in an alley and see if I'm as good as I think and so we return to the present as our daredevil saga continues so we're back to the beginning now do you take me to the fixer or nothing we've had it fella hang around he'll be here any minute somebody asking for me what do you want hey boss dig the get up on that clown he looks like trouble to me fixer want me should lean on him little it's like the same guy that killed Matt's dad my associates don't seem to like you your looks mister you better talk fast the tone of his voice his beefy rough I hear breathing on each side of him so the other two must be flanking him thinking correction fixer you're the one who's going to talk I want to know what arrangements you had with battling Murdoch battling Murdoch what's that to you it ain't healthy to mention him around here he must know something boss I'll take care of him that guy pulls out a gun the sound of a suit jacket being drawn aside fingers touching a metal object must be a gun butt in a shoulder holster the sound of his breathing the telltale click of the pistol safety release are all I need need to hear to pinpoint my targets and the almost inaudible sound of my cane cutting through the air is like a loud radar beep to my super sensitive ears I was right all the time my senses are so ultra keen that I can do anything a man with eyesight can and do it better his cane flying back I'll sneak up on him from behind and hey he swung around just in time how'd you know I was behind you that's my secret pal no matter how softly he crept up behind me his muffled footsteps sounded like heavy drum beats to me but footsteps hurrying away from me he's trying to escape hold it speedy I haven't dismissed the class yet how does he do it he doesn't miss a trick let's all settle down for a nice talk unless you'd like another lesson with me slam look you quiet, I'll handle this I'm still the boss to fix your sense mister, whoever you are you're in a mess of trouble you're not getting away with coming here and roughing roughing us up we got a law to protect innocent people Sam, call the cops he's picking up the phone to call the cops and the sound of a hand picking up a receiver this is almost too easy yo fixer I suspect you were responsible for the death of battling Murdoch why don't you confess now and save us all a lot of trouble you're nuts I had nothing to do with it I got a perfect alibi where I wasn't even aware of I can hear his pulse rate it's speeding up indicating he's lying my super sense of hearing is like a built-in lie detector maybe you do have an alibi maybe yours wasn't the finger that squeezed the trigger but you gave the order, didn't you no, no, stay back stop him you guys, don't let him get me he knows too much he might even know I'm the murderer can't take any chances he pushes him out the window intent is daredevil upon listening to the fixer's pulse rate to determine if he is the guilty man that his ultra sharp hearing sense reacts a fraction of a second too slow and it was me, but you'll never be able to do anything about it behind me, someone with all his senses might be doomed in such a situation but the moment the fearless daredevil feels himself hurling into space, his super keen ears cash the rustling of a flag as his lightning fast reflexes go into action a flagpole alongside me only one chance pressing the hidden stud which releases his cane handle at the same split second as he lunges out, he stops his fall in midair, got it from here on, it's all a breeze swings over back through the window now then gents where were we at the other side of town funny matt doesn't answer maybe he's still asleep the door's open hey lazybones I thought I'd see if you need anything and matt he's gone gosh I wish he'd call me I hate to think of poor matt walking around town all alone with all the traffic in New York that doesn't know how well it wins, save up spider-man number 12 fantastic 4 number 26 sale now so foggy's looking for matt I'll go up to the office maybe he decided to come here and get familiar with the place before starting work on monday but entering the new office foggy finds it unoccupied except for the most decorative accessory, Karen today's your day off foggy says I know mr. nelson but I'm a stranger in New York and had no one to visit so I thought I'd tidy up the office while I had a chance is mr. murdoch with you? matter of fact I hope he'd be here I don't like him wandering around town alone I understand what a pity such a wonderful handsome man is so handicapped I sure like to hear her talk about me in that adoring tone of voice don't let his blindless fool you, Karen he's still the smartest, most capable most courageous fellow I know he doesn't even seem to mind not seeing here's something about him that makes a girl want to take him in her arms and oh I'm sorry mr. nelson I had no right to speak that way it's just that he seems to need someone to look after him it would be hard to imagine Karen Page's feeling if you could see the handicapped man she is referring to at this moment out all of you I'm only interested in Slade and the fixer boy you don't have to tell me twice they say come back you rotten cowards don't leave us don't leave us with them now you too I've learned what I wanted Slade actually did the shooting but you gave the orders what girl it do you you can't prove it yeah where is your evidence from my final bluff they're so worried now they'll believe anything right here I have a miniature tape recorder concealed in my billy club I tell the police all they need to know he's got us before their devil can make a move the fixer tries one last desperate maneuver quick Slade run before he can get his balance oh I was a fool for being so overconfident should have known they make one final try to escape they can't have gone far I'll get them yet he says but racing around the corner Slade and the fixer quickly mingle with the Saturday afternoon shopping crowd he'll never find us now in the middle of this crowd just the same keep moving there's no telling what that guy can't do I can still smell the traces of the fixer's cigar smoke I can follow the scent like a bloodhound but I'll be able to get around easier in the crowd without a costume he puts on his clothes again and so keeping one of the strangest pursuits on record as a man without a sight unearingly makes his way through a crowded avenue on the trail of two killers I'm glad his cigar is a strong one he might as well be telling me where he is but he doesn't know it within minutes the graceful subtle figure of Matt Murdock has knifed through the unsuspecting crowd like a shadowy wraith and then I hope they're staying together I want to bring them both to justice the cigar scent is stronger now I'm almost up to them slow down Slade we're safe now he's nowhere in sight guess you're right no one here no one near us now but that blind guy we've lost him for sure we'll duck into the subway station across the street and get off at Penn Station we'll be out of town in an hour that's what they think hey did you see how fast that blind guy pushed past us who cares we got our own problems they're going down to the subway but unknown to the fleeing duo their problems are just beginning for directly ahead of them their footsteps are getting closer I'll just make it going somewhere boys it's him it ain't possible he says separate he can't get us both I was afraid they'd do that they'd try that all by the unbroken sound of Slade's footsteps there's no one between us so it's safe to throw my cane throws his cane at him right good he's tackling Slade that means I'll escape he tripped me with that infernal stick of his that'll slow him down while I go after the fixer he's too far ahead I need something to help me catch him this waste paper basket then I'm then then I'm touching perfect seconds later the rolling steel is making such a racket that I can't hear his footsteps but I can easily detect the scent of a cigar he's gonna get me fixer's running panicking at that second the beefy overweight fear filled the figure of the fixer grasps and slumps to the ground as his panic-stricken heart ceases to beat oh my my heart can't breathe no pulse, no heartbeat seems like a heart attack will save the state the expense of a trial what's going on here at the transit police just what the doctor ordered and so is this incoming train follow me boys I've got a little job for you don't you know enough to stay where I left you he nails the guy again the shooter now for my last bluff the fixer just told us everything Slade, he's innocent you are Murdoch's murderer the dirty crub he's not gonna wiggle out of this he's as guilty as I am I only pulled the trigger but he gave the orders hear him boys we sure did but wait who are you at the police names dare double, remember it you'll be hearing it again I promise not long afterwards Matt say I was worried about you fella where have you been just out for a walk foggy I'd have been here sooner but as soon as you know I can't get around too fast right we just had a call Mr. Murdoch an accused murderer named Slade he wanted to know if we defend him but I turned him down from the police report I was convinced he's guilty hope you don't mind Matt mind? no I don't mind at all but I don't mind at all not a bit dad wherever you are I kind of hope you're resting easier now his shadow is dare double right don't waste a minute we can't
