12
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.399
here is the episode Windfall.
13
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:04.040
Willing to undertake a dangerous mission behind enemy lines, knowing
14
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:13.840
that you may never return alive. What you have just
15
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.040
heard is the question asked during the War of agents
16
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:21.959
of the OSS. Ordinary citizens to this question answered yes.
17
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:47.040
This is Cloak and Dagger, black warfare, espionage, international intrigue.
18
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:52.599
These are the weapons of the OSS. In today's adventure, Windfall,
19
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.159
the part of McAllister is played by Lestra may Jan
20
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.400
Minor plays Jen and Mike Slade is played by Bill Quinn.
21
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.319
The story is suggested by actual incidents recorded in the
22
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:07.359
Washington files of the Office of Strategic Services, a story
23
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:18.800
that can now be told. We had three new guests
24
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:21.479
at the lodge at Noirmont that day, and the first
25
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:23.479
one blew in just after lunch, and I recognize him
26
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.520
right away, at least I thought I did. I didn't
27
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:27.919
know who he was, you understand, but I thought I
28
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.599
knew what he was. A fellow American, for one thing,
29
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.719
and probably a member of the diplomatic mission at Baron.
30
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:37.240
I wish now that that was all he had been.
31
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.680
You have a reservation for me the name Monsieur Heywood,
32
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:41.719
Frederick Heywood.
33
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.719
At one moment, Monsieur, I.
34
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:46.520
Made a mental note of that name as I shuffled
35
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.520
my cards and dealt myself another hand of solitaire. I
36
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:51.159
was sitting in the lobby close to the desk, and
37
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.199
not by accident, either, I made my business to catch
38
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:55.759
the names of new arrivals.
39
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:56.599
If you know a.
40
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.759
Man's name, he's usually more willing to sit down at
41
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.199
the car table with you. And if the guests at
42
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:06.599
Noirmont didn't play cards with me, how could I eat well?
43
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.639
Clerk, do you have the reservation or not. Yes, hit
44
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:10.240
is monsieur.
45
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.080
It was fund in yesterday from ber Your room is
46
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:13.719
being prepared.
47
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:15.560
Nowson, let me know what it's ready. I'll be in
48
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.439
the bar. I went to work.
49
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:21.120
Then I followed him into the bar. I was sure
50
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.560
by then that i'd size him upright. A secretary or
51
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.319
a file clerk could come to the lodge to ski
52
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:29.360
and relax. He was right for picking, I figured. I
53
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.120
found him at a table by the window, looking out
54
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:33.800
over the mountains of snow and ice and down into
55
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:38.960
the green Valley where Switzerland became France. Not see occupied France.
56
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:44.560
Welcome to normal, mister Heywood. Eh, who are you name?
57
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:45.000
Slade?
58
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.759
Mike Slade? I heard you ask for your reservation. I
59
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:52.080
couldn't help overhearing your name. You're an American, that's right.
60
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:57.240
You mind if I said, now, thanks up here to
61
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.960
do a little skiing. I suppose perhaps planning to stay long?
62
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:05.240
That depends. Oh what a number of things, none of
63
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:06.319
which are your business.
64
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:09.840
Relax, mister Heywood. You don't have to be afraid to
65
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.599
talk to me. I'm not on the enemy's side. In fact,
66
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.879
I'm not on anybody's side. I'm just a plain ordinary
67
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:17.639
private citizen.
68
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:26.439
Oh and what are you doing in Switzerland, he.
69
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.720
Asked, So I told him the whole sad story. How
70
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:31.800
I shipped out of San Francisco when I was fifteen,
71
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:34.560
how I jumped ship in Shanghai, How I'd spent the
72
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.279
next twenty five years gambling my way around the world
73
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.079
till I hit it big, knocking over a roulette wheel
74
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:42.480
in Paris for a million francs.
75
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.240
So you're up here blowing your million francs.
76
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:49.160
I slid, No, not exactly, didn't last long enough to blow.
77
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:52.360
A week after I won it, the Germans marched into Paris,
78
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:55.160
and my money wasn't worth a thin diet. I got
79
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.079
away and landed up here at Walmart. And I'm waiting
80
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.560
ever since, waiting for what why, for someone to win
81
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:02.000
this war?
82
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:04.720
Of course, someone anyone, you mean.
83
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.000
Oh, I'm not too particular, mister hay Wooden, Like I say,
84
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:11.199
I don't play sides. I'm what they call a neutral,
85
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.720
I guess, a neutral American. Well, it's been a long
86
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.439
time since I was in America. I just want them
87
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.879
to get the war over with somehow, so Jen and
88
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.600
I can get out of here. Jen my girl wins
89
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.439
to hey, which she's one of the skiing instructors here
90
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:27.879
at the lodge, and when I go, she's promised to
91
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:28.279
go with me.
92
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.519
I see, I'll go see if I rule ready? Oh
93
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:32.720
wait a minute, how about another drink?
94
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:32.879
Well?
95
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:33.199
Thanks?
96
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:35.360
Well, look, if you're not doing anything tonight and you're
97
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.480
like a little game of stud as got away as
98
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:40.839
any to pass the evening up here. Maybe, But I'm
99
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:43.759
rather particular about the kind of men I gamble with, Slade,
100
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:53.439
especially the kind of Americans. Oh well, I figured some
101
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:57.519
guys couldn't help being patriots. Me I had other things
102
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:00.160
to worry about, not enough money in my gene to
103
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:01.519
pay for my room at the end of the week,
104
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:02.839
and no stud game in sight.
105
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.360
Hello, Mike, Jen, how are your babies?
106
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:08.480
Mike came into the bar a few minutes ago, but
107
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:10.800
you were talking to somebody here who was.
108
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:14.079
A guy named Heywood, an American just checked in from.
109
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:17.959
Bern from Bay with Mike. He couldn't have what do
110
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:20.000
you mean you left that heavy snow last night? He
111
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.959
couldn't have come by automobile. And you know perfectly well
112
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.000
the train from Beern doesn't arrive for another three hours.
113
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.279
Hey, I forgot about that, And how the devil did
114
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:29.720
he get here?
115
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.199
There's only one way. You must have.
116
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:33.759
Walk walked all away from Bern.
117
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.680
He walked from down there in the valley, he came
118
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:39.120
across the French border.
119
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.040
Maybe you're forgetting there's a war on There aren't any
120
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:44.680
Americans touring France these days.
121
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.839
No, but there are some fighting for France, fighting with
122
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:48.639
the French Marquis.
123
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:52.160
I don't know what cha an intelligence agents.
124
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:55.519
Mike, Hey, wait a minute, Maybe you've got something there
125
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:58.800
that would explain why Heywood brush me off that way.
126
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.560
He must be one of those OSS guys we heard about.
127
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:10.519
It was the only answer. I didn't think much of it.
128
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.079
I figured an OSS agent just out of occupied France
129
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:16.759
wouldn't have enough money to finance a game of stud
130
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:19.480
So I went looking for someone who would.
131
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:23.759
There's two ones, clerk, one for Dot, one for myself.
132
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:28.319
Crowds were crowds, and you didn't have to be a
133
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.800
patriot like Hey would not to like them. But I
134
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:32.439
figured that these two guys at the desk were a
135
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:33.879
couple of jokers on a holiday.
136
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:35.519
They'd be well.
137
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:39.959
Healedous, ridiculous, welcome to no gentlemen.
138
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.800
The clerk, what about those ones? I don't believe I
139
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.519
quite caught your names. Gentlemen, if you'll please my friend
140
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.759
dear trying to get accommodation, I am sorry.
141
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.000
All I can give you and here you and here Vierstadt.
142
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:54.199
Is a double room. There are no single ones, No, sir.
143
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:56.680
The American who arrived today took the last one.
144
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:59.920
Oh an America and the life.
145
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.519
I'm an American too, slaves. My name Mike Slade. But
146
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:05.199
it does not you who just cave.
147
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.439
No, no, I've been around for nearly three years.
148
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.240
The new guest is mister Heywood, mister Haywood, eh and
149
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.120
his room eighteen, Room eighteen.
150
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:15.720
I'm in twenty seven myself.
151
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.240
Gentlemen, if you'd be interested in a friendly game of
152
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:21.240
stud poker the saving I'm afraid we are going to
153
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:22.160
be busy this evening.
154
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:27.160
Yeah, we are going to be a valley busy.
155
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.559
So that took care of my last chance to put
156
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:36.639
some meat on my thin bank roll. Jen and I
157
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:38.960
had dinner at the lodge that night. Then I walked
158
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:42.519
her back to a cottage above the hotel. The moon
159
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:46.519
was bright, dry, snow squeaked under our feet. It was
160
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:49.240
the same as any other night at Guamon, seemed the
161
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:52.279
same anyway, Even the things we talked about were the same.
162
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.960
We must be patient, Mike. We will leave Maamo.
163
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:58.840
Someday, but when and how We'll never get out until
164
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.080
I lay my hands on some dough, big dough, I mean,
165
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:03.720
not the kind I can win from a bunch of
166
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.200
yoguls who don't know two pair from a straight.
167
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:07.960
Your government would send your home, maybe.
168
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:09.879
Mike, Yeah, sure, sure, and shut me in the army.
169
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:12.240
Only they don't have any use for a guy in
170
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:16.440
my age, and that makes him mutual. Besides, they wouldn't.
171
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.159
Let you go with me, but I would wait.
172
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:19.799
And when the war is.
173
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:23.200
No dice, kid, when I go, you go. So the
174
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:29.679
answer is still money. It sounds like somebody's been hurt.
175
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:34.080
Come on, Honey, done down this way, Mike.
176
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:36.120
There's something lying this moose.
177
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:38.919
Yeah, yeah, that must be him.
178
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:42.399
Mike, Mike, it's the American, mister Heywood.
179
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:51.159
It was Hayward, all right, but it didn't look much
180
00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:54.080
like him anymore. His nose was broken and the rest
181
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.720
of his face was pushed out of shape. Lord knows
182
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:58.240
what else they've done to him.
183
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:00.399
Mm hmm mm hmm.
184
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.879
You all right, take take an easy fellaw. We'll get
185
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.080
the doctor at the large nose.
186
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:15.679
Shure, slave, shure. You want to stand him jam.
187
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:23.120
It sounds as if you're saying shore sure, he left
188
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:27.039
shure the heel of his left shore back.
189
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:37.799
Alice, What what was that? McAllister Joe, he's dead.
190
00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:39.240
I'll get doctor gon to Mike.
191
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:44.320
Never mind doctor Gant the jam. He's dead.
192
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.960
No, how could it have happened? Do you think you
193
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:50.240
very found a rock up there?
194
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.360
No, baby, he didn't fall of any rock. He fell
195
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:54.919
under the hands of a couple of Germans.
196
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.080
It was all clear by that Heywood had.
197
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:04.080
Been an OSS agent, and the only winter sports the
198
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:07.320
crowds had come to Noirmar for was torturing and beating him.
199
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:10.200
It was tough, plenty tough. But then I still had
200
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:14.759
problems too. I unlaced Heywood's left boot and slipped it
201
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:15.399
off his foot.
202
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:16.480
What are you doing, Mike?
203
00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:19.840
Finding out what hitlers happened as boys were after.
204
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:21.879
Look, the heel slips right off the shoe.
205
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:24.039
Yeah, there's something incited.
206
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:29.360
Wait a minute, it's a little ceylander.
207
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:30.320
It looks like a bullet.
208
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:34.679
That's no bullet, baby, it's a cylinder of microfilm microfi chers.
209
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:40.320
I don't know whatever it is, it's important, whatever's importance
210
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:40.960
is valuable.
211
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:45.960
What you think, uh me, I'm thinking about you and me, sweetheart.
212
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:47.159
Never mind.
213
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:49.159
Now, look, you take this film and get back to
214
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:51.639
your cottage and hide it. As far as anybody's concerned.
215
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.399
You weren't with me when I found Heyward's body.
216
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:54.440
I don't understand.
217
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.480
You will get gone, baby, But what are you going
218
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:56.759
to do?
219
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:00.000
Not a thing, Just sit around and cool my heels
220
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:14.360
and wait for a guy named McAllister. Of course I
221
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:17.919
had to report Heywood's death. I reported it to doctor Gunther,
222
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:21.720
the house physician at the lodge. Oh, this is terrible,
223
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.879
such a tragic excident. I didn't say it was an accident, doctor,
224
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:29.080
but it was, of course. No wait a minute, he said, so.
225
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:30.720
I am the doctor.
226
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.720
Yeah, but you can't here. Heywoods slipped in terre for
227
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:36.440
the lock. We will all do our best to see
228
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:41.639
that there's no another such tragedy. Really not sleep. It
229
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:43.440
gives the lotch a bad reputation.
230
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:48.679
So gun Through had already been briefed by his fellow crowds,
231
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:52.159
and Heywood's death was an accident. Well, I was all
232
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:53.799
right with me. It didn't hurt my angle a bit.
233
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:57.080
The next morning, Guntha got all the guests together in
234
00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.120
the lobby and broke the sad new.
235
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.320
My friends, that you can all want to pay your
236
00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:07.559
last respects the victim of this unfortunate accident. Services for
237
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:10.879
her Heywood will be heard in the chapel. At three
238
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:15.200
o'clock this afternoon turned away and I fell little sick.
239
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:18.360
Sometimes these Nazis made it hard for a guy to
240
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:22.120
stay strictly neutral, I was thinking. Then a hand clapped
241
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:22.879
me on the shoulder.
242
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:27.559
Good morning, al Slid, Hello, Kitle, this is well, it said,
243
00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:29.720
this news about your fellow countryman.
244
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.000
Yeah, you're all broken up about it, aren't you.
245
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:36.799
Doctor guns informs me it was you who found the body.
246
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:40.039
In You and doctor Gunha keep each other pretty well informed.
247
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:42.120
I was wondering how Slid.
248
00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:47.120
Yeah, I was wondering if, by any chance, you also
249
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:48.639
found something else?
250
00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:53.679
Whe are you when you keep right on wondering her title?
251
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.360
At most that day, playing solitaire at my favorite table
252
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:04.559
near the desk, I wasn't listening for the names of
253
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:08.480
poker prospects anymore. I was listening for another name, McAllister,
254
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:13.559
but I didn't hear it. At three o'clock I went
255
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.320
down to the chapel, I figured ioto pay my last
256
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:19.159
respects to Heywood too. Was the least I could do,
257
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:23.559
considering how much I was going to own. So cheap
258
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.960
the accidental death of a passing stranger may seem like
259
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:29.799
a trivial thing.
260
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:32.240
Believe me, my friend, it.
261
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:35.360
Was almost over when a big blonde guy sat down
262
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:37.639
next to the You're Mike Slayton.
263
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:45.360
Yes, that's right. You found Heyward's body last night. What
264
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:48.840
was left of him with us? He was still alive, wasn't.
265
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:49.639
He his spirit?
266
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:50.759
Slightly?
267
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:51.679
Lightly?
268
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:58.399
Did he say anything? Not much mentioned the name McAllister.
269
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:02.720
Maybe I'm McAllister.
270
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.840
Oh he has gone okay and we are left here alone.
271
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:13.159
He gave you something for me? Yeah? Good? When can
272
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:17.039
I get it? When can you pay for it? Pay
273
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:22.039
for it? That's what I said. I went twenty five
274
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:28.120
franks dollars full filthy double.
275
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:30.759
I'll watch it. Is that a way to act at
276
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:32.360
your buddy's funeral?
277
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.720
And now, dear friends, let it's all bow our heads
278
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:38.240
in prayer.
279
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.279
The minister's sermon wasn't the only one I've heard that day.
280
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:52.320
On the way back to the lodge, McAllister preached one too,
281
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:55.039
And you call your flag. MacAllister, You've got my proposition,
282
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:55.720
take it or leave it.
283
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:59.000
You know what's on that microfilm. You realize, what, what
284
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:00.799
do you think I could get that kind of money.
285
00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:04.240
You might try the embassy at Vain and if they
286
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:11.159
won't buy it, then maybe Berlin will Berlin, you would
287
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:14.000
actually shall let film to the Nazis sell out your
288
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:15.960
own country. I haven't had a country for a long time.
289
00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:18.159
You were born on Amerture, but I've lived in Switzerland
290
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:18.840
for quite a while.
291
00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:22.759
Some of its neutrality is rubbed off on me.
292
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:31.000
I stayed away from Jen all that day because I
293
00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:33.360
didn't want to attract any attention to her. But as
294
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.159
soon as it was dark, I started out for her cottage.
295
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:38.080
I didn't get very far.
296
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:40.240
Good evening house led.
297
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:43.960
If Yes, stud and Ivish to talk.
298
00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:48.360
The you guys picked funny places for conversation. On the contrary,
299
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.720
this fits our needs admirably. Three of us are low and.
300
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.679
We had another conversation last night in a similar pace.
301
00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:58.639
It would regret to have this one end in the
302
00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:02.440
same way that Indeed, Okay, what do you after the
303
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:05.759
micro film? Of course, just give it to us. I
304
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:07.119
don't know what you're talking about.
305
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:10.079
And I suppose we will have to stop the field.
306
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:15.000
There's arms ver ver stut pinned my arms behind me?
307
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:17.000
Kinda let me have it square in the face with
308
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:21.480
a fist is hard. There's a sledgehammer. Where's the microfilm? Straight?
309
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:24.079
You'll never get it this way? Say not?
310
00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:25.960
You didn't get it away from Hey with this way,
311
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:29.240
did you? Why don't you meet heads? Get smart? Kill
312
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:31.000
me and you'll never lay hands on that film. And
313
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:33.240
if we don't carry you and you might have a chance.
314
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.759
How much would the chance cost a slid? I'm catching
315
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.359
on how much? Well I would have let you have
316
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:42.480
a cheap before you started to push me around. The
317
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:48.839
price is gone up. I want fifty fifty thousand marks dollars.
318
00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:59.480
Think it over, boys. They must have seen some logic
319
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:01.319
in it, because they stopped slugging me and went away
320
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:03.960
to talk it over. I didn't go to Jen's cottage
321
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:06.680
after all. I didn't want them following me, So I
322
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:08.440
went back up to my room. And when I got there,
323
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:13.319
my door unlocked. The room was a shambles. Somebody had
324
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:17.960
gone through it like a cyclone. U oss, boys, now,
325
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:20.119
how to take a room apart, don't you McAllister? When
326
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:21.799
we have to Did you have to do this?
327
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:22.079
Oh?
328
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:24.839
I came up to do it, but those get Stoppa
329
00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:27.880
agents save me the trouble. It was already done. I
330
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:30.559
was afraid they might have found what they were looking for.
331
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:32.319
How do you know they didn't? By the condition of
332
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:34.799
your face. They've been working you over, haven't we?
333
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:37.480
What have it? They wouldn't have bothered if they'd found
334
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:40.119
the film. You're quite a brain, aren't you. Mccallis.
335
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:42.720
You're not slaved. If you were, you wouldn't be playing
336
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:44.920
this game. You're gonna wind up just where Heywood is.
337
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:47.599
I'll take my chances. You don't know what the doe
338
00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:49.519
means to me. You'd understand you don't know what these
339
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:52.440
films mean to the Allies, Or maybe you'd understand. Those
340
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:55.440
are pictures of German maps, Slaid maps, showing the location
341
00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:58.119
of every Nazib two rocket launching site on the French coast.
342
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:00.880
They could mean the saving of thousands of lives. They
343
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.920
could even mean winning the war or losing it. Does
344
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:08.400
that make any impression on you? My price is still
345
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:14.160
the same, all right, Jen, Let me tell you what Heywood.
346
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:16.039
Went through to get those films. You'll be wasting your time.
347
00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:17.440
My price is still the same.
348
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:22.480
Okay, you're the guy who has to look in the
349
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:27.240
mirror at yourself in your shave. I'll be around if you. Oh,
350
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:32.400
I forgot about this. What this picture was on the floor.
351
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:34.480
I accidentally stepped on it and broke the frame.
352
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:37.319
How me have that? I noticed the inscription to Mike
353
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:40.559
with all my love Jen. Okay, okay, let's have it.
354
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:45.000
She's the skiing instructor, isn't she beautiful? Girl? Be a
355
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:48.559
shame if anything happened to that face? Is that a threat?
356
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:53.240
Mccallosy No, oh, the osays doesn't go in for torturing women.
357
00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:56.880
Maybe we're too sentimental. Why would anybody want to touch
358
00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:59.319
her because she's helping you play your little angle? What
359
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:00.200
makes you think?
360
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:03.039
So? Just a guess. And if I can guess, it's
361
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:07.119
so can Kitle and Erstadt. And they're not a bit sentimental.
362
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:19.720
It took me a while to fall asleep after that,
363
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:23.119
but I managed it finally. Couldn't have been much later
364
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:30.559
when the phone beside my bed woke me up. Yeah, Mike, Jen, Baby,
365
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:31.079
what's the matter.
366
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:32.119
I've got to talk to you.
367
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:41.480
Mike, come to the cottage right away. I was scared
368
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:44.160
then all the way over, Machallous's words kept ringing in
369
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:45.519
my ears, and I was scared to.
370
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:46.079
Look at her face.
371
00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:48.559
But there was nothing the matter with it. When I
372
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:51.200
got there, the only mark center with the marks of
373
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:52.880
worry and a guilty conscience.
374
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:55.720
I couldn't sleep, Mike. I had to call you. I've
375
00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:56.839
been thinking about it.
376
00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:59.240
All night, about my new business enterprise.
377
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:02.200
I suppose you mean, yes, trying to make money out
378
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:03.119
of those microfilms.
379
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:05.839
It's wrong, Darling. We can't go through with it.
380
00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:08.680
Too bad, says McAllister. Was here, Yes, yes, he was
381
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:10.079
waving a flag all over the place.
382
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:12.720
What he said, madsense, He told me what was on
383
00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:15.559
the film. He made me say how Hayward had suffered.
384
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:16.759
To get it. I'm surprised you didn't turn it over
385
00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:17.680
THEE I wouldn't.
386
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:19.359
Do that, you know it. But I want you to
387
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:20.240
turn it over to him.
388
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:25.279
I will for twenty five grand, Mike, for nothing.
389
00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:28.160
Because they belonged to him rightfully, and because they'll help
390
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:29.240
the Allies win the world.
391
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:32.480
No dice, baby, Mike, do you want those vile metal
392
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:33.319
s Natzi's too win?
393
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:36.440
All I want is my twenty five Jeeves, and then
394
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:37.519
you and I can get out of here.
395
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:39.720
Not you and I.
396
00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:41.279
Mike what.
397
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.880
I won't go with you under those conditions.
398
00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:47.839
You don't mean that I do. I do.
399
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:52.319
I love you, Mike, but I couldn't go on loving
400
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:54.720
you if you did a thing like this. I come
401
00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:55.240
to hate you.
402
00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:56.359
Jen.
403
00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:58.519
I'm sorry, Darling, It's true.
404
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:05.000
Well, Mike, I've waited twenty five years for break like this.
405
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:08.079
I'm not going to let it run down the drain,
406
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:13.960
not even for you. If you don't want to go okay,
407
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:14.839
I'll be traveling along.
408
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:21.039
I don't think you'll be traveling anywhere just yet a slide.
409
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:27.720
It was titled and just behind it was Verstadt, and
410
00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:30.599
both of them carried Lucas. Before I could move, Verstat
411
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.240
had used his the butter had clipped me on the head.
412
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:33.960
I know.
413
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:38.000
I remember hearing Jen scream and feeling myself crumbling toward
414
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:44.000
the floor. When I came to, I couldn't move my
415
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:46.680
arms on my legs. It took me a minute.
416
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:48.599
To figure out why I was tied with a chair.
417
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:52.160
Slowly the room came back and focused, and I saw
418
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:53.359
the two Guestapo agents.
419
00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:56.920
Then I saw Jen. What they've been doing get your
420
00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:58.920
hands off of your filthy rights. Don't touch her.
421
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:01.519
Again, being I need to touch a her sleeve if
422
00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:03.799
you will corporate with us better than cheers been doing.
423
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:06.559
Where is the microfilm hair sleeves? You still think you're
424
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:07.440
gonna find out for free?
425
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:12.079
Huh yeah, me think so? Where is the microfilm hairsleeve? Along?
426
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:14.359
You tell us where it is? All right, all right,
427
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:17.759
stop it. I'll tell you to stop it.
428
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:23.720
We have stopped her slid my Please tell us, okay
429
00:23:24.359 --> 00:23:25.200
a microfilm is?
430
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:29.880
It?
431
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:32.119
Came from outside through the window that revolve a shot
432
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:34.640
fierce that let out a groan and dropped the floor.
433
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:36.599
Titdle dropped the floor too, but he hadn't been hit.
434
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:38.759
He flicked the light switches, he went down.
435
00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:39.599
The room went black.
436
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:42.680
The advantage was all his now he was in the
437
00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:45.839
pitch black room. Whoever was outside was moving around on
438
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.599
the bright moonlight, made even brighter by the snow. I
439
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:53.279
saw a title's gun spit the gun outside, answered. I
440
00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:55.759
was still tied hand and foot to the chair. There
441
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:59.160
wasn't anything I could do, or was there. I remember
442
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:01.559
that the light switch was just over my head. I
443
00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:03.680
worked until I got my chair turned around, so I
444
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:06.400
was facing the wall. I started butting up with at
445
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:07.039
the switch.
446
00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:07.240
With my head.
447
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:10.640
Three times I missed it. Fourth time it clicked. The
448
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:13.599
room was flooded with light. Kidle was outlined at the
449
00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:24.079
window like a sitting duck. It wasn't any great surprise
450
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:26.400
when a tall blonde guy walked in a minute later.
451
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:29.720
He started one timing. Looks as if you had to
452
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:32.119
choose signs after all, Slaine, Yeah.
453
00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:36.359
It looks as if maybe I did ms. You are right, Jen,
454
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:44.079
I'll be fine, sure, baby, Yes, Mike, thank you, mister McAllister.
455
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:48.119
I should have said that to McAllister. Thanks.
456
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:53.119
That's okay, Mike, And I don't you see now, don't
457
00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:54.400
you understand.
458
00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:55.720
I don't know what you're talking about?
459
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:58.680
You do? You must the difference between here and those
460
00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:03.200
horrible roots. It's the whole point, Mike. That's why you
461
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:05.359
can't hold onto that microfilm.
462
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:11.240
Oh yeah, yeah, the microfilm. I've been thinking about that.
463
00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:15.559
You've decided to give it to me. No, I haven't, McCallister.
464
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:20.440
I'm a gambler, and gamblers don't give things away. All
465
00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:23.799
they do give is a sporting chance. What do you mean,
466
00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:28.400
I'll cut cards with you for the microfilm double enough.
467
00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:30.680
If I get the high card, you will give me
468
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:33.960
the film, right, and if I get high card, you
469
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:35.200
pay me fifty thousand.
470
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:37.240
It's the deal.
471
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:59.799
Slate Okay, yeah, shovel McCallister, you cut first, one card doesn't.
472
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:10.440
Well? Six not so good, fellow, go on, slate, cut
473
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:21.359
well four, I win. There, you win, get them the film?
474
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:25.680
Jen, all right, Mike, Now, both sides in this war
475
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:27.839
have cost me money.
476
00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:32.039
There it is mister Mcanithton, and good luck to you.
477
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:33.839
With his luck, he'll win the worst single handed.
478
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:39.960
These microfilms will help. Good Bye, Jen, he's see yeah, he's.
479
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:41.119
Seeing mcal's.
480
00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:49.119
Mike, why did you do it?
481
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:49.480
Do what?
482
00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:56.839
Here's your card? The one new cut. He wasn't a fool,
483
00:26:57.839 --> 00:26:58.799
it was a thing.
484
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:00.599
Yeah.
485
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:06.319
I know you had him beaten. He would have paid
486
00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:07.359
the fiftieth thousand.
487
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:14.839
That's right, Mark, Why did you do it? I don't know, baby.
488
00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:19.920
I guess some guys just can't helping suckers.
489
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:24.759
I guess some guys just can't helping patriots.
490
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:36.000
So we were stuck in Switzerland for a couple of
491
00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:37.000
more years, Jane and I.
492
00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:39.680
There were times when I could have kicked myself for
493
00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:43.799
being a sentimental chump lots of times until a day
494
00:27:43.839 --> 00:27:46.519
came after the war when I ran into McAllister again.
495
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:49.920
I felt better about it then. I guess you know.
496
00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:52.400
What the Alliant Air Forces did to those Nazi rocket
497
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:55.519
launching sites along the French coast couldn't have been done
498
00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:58.559
without the microfilm Slave, so you can take some credit
499
00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:01.839
for it. You were the toughest lie the US has
500
00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:06.880
ever had, brother, but you did the job. And once
501
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:09.920
again the report of another OSS agent closes with.
502
00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:12.240
The words mission accomplished.
503
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:15.559
Today's story was based on actual incidents recorded in the
504
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:17.720
Washington files of the USS.
505
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:22.799
And was brought to you on Cloak and Dagger.
506
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:46.559
Heard in Today's Cloak and Dagger Adventures, McAllister was Less Tremaine,
507
00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:51.400
Mike Slaide, Bill Quinn, Jan Jan Minor. Others were Grant Richards,
508
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:56.319
Raymond Edward Johnson, Carl Weber, Charles Irving, Steffan Schnabel, Boris Applin,
509
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:59.920
Paul Arnold, and Jerry Jarrett. The script was written by
510
00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:03.119
Field and the music was under the direction of John Guard.
511
00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:08.440
Sound effects by Jerry McGee, engineering by Joe Silva. Today's
512
00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:11.559
OSS Adventure was based on the book Clokndagger by Corey
513
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:15.839
Fard and Alistair McBain. This program was produced by Lewis G.
514
00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:19.799
Collen and Alfred Hollander and under the direction and supervision
515
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:20.640
of Sherman Marx.
516
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:32.839
Welcome Back. In some ways, this episode clse to mind
517
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:40.480
the film Cossablanca, with an expat trying to maintain neutrality
518
00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:46.119
in a neutral place. Although Mike lacks the heroic backstory
519
00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:49.640
of Rick Wayne, I think Mike is wrong to make
520
00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:52.440
his decision by two things. First of all, in the
521
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.599
Nazis really didn't do much to make friends in the
522
00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:00.680
course of this operation, as was could be said of
523
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:05.480
most of the war, and through their brutality, particularly towards Jen,
524
00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:09.000
pushed him towards his own country. But I think more
525
00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:15.200
importantly was the service and the approach of OSS men,
526
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:20.359
in particular McAllister. And this is another key similarity with
527
00:30:20.519 --> 00:30:24.119
Casablanca of the cynic being inspired by the courage of
528
00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:29.640
a dedicated patriot, with McAllister instead of Victor Loslow and
529
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:34.759
his action obviously more direct and seventy five years later,
530
00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:38.400
I think that inspiration still continues through the stories we've
531
00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:41.279
heard on Cloak and Dagger. The type of people we've
532
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:45.759
heard about in this series are not the superspies of
533
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:51.000
James Bond or I Spy, or the men from Uncle
534
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:56.319
who would become such icons of popular culture. These were
535
00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:01.400
not professional spies, but citizens who took on a dangerous task,
536
00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:05.680
all responding yes to the offer that we heard at
537
00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:08.640
the start of each episode, and at least some of
538
00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:13.640
the people profiled paid with their lives. Some made colossal mistakes,
539
00:31:13.799 --> 00:31:17.319
others were either the victim or the beneficiary of luck.
540
00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:21.119
All took graversk to save the world from a darkness
541
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:24.279
that threatened it and paid a cost to save it.
542
00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:28.519
Logan Dagger honors these brave men and women and holds
543
00:31:28.599 --> 00:31:34.640
up wonderfully as an exciting adventure series, great drama, and
544
00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:39.279
also a magnificent tribute to the sacrifices of the men
545
00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:42.960
and women of the OSS. I hope you've enjoyed this series.
546
00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:45.480
I've heard a lot of great feedback from so many
547
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:49.359
of you who have enjoyed this series and really been
548
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:53.319
surprised by it. It's a great gem that a lot
549
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:58.440
of people haven't listened to, and for our first adult series,
550
00:31:58.839 --> 00:32:02.319
it really sets a high bar and it's been such
551
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:04.799
a delight to bring it to you. And now it's
552
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:08.200
time to thank our Patreon supporter of the day, and
553
00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:12.240
I want to thank Ian, Patreon supporter since September twenty twenty,
554
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:15.720

555
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:18.319
four dollars or more per month. Thanks so much for
556
00:32:18.359 --> 00:32:18.920
your support.
557
00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:19.200
Ian.
558
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:22.880
And in terms of our series, next Saturday we begin
559
00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:28.039
our holiday break and we'll have an encore presentation for
560
00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:31.720
one of our other podcasts that still fits very well
561
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:35.960
into the Great Adventurers theme and also fits within the
562
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:41.079
sort of crime adventure that people would expect for being
563
00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:46.279
cross posted on Great Detectives. However, the Great Adventurers podcast
564
00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:50.759

Detectives dot net. But now, from October twenty second, nineteen fifty,
12
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.399
here is the episode Windfall.
13
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:04.040
Willing to undertake a dangerous mission behind enemy lines, knowing
14
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:13.840
that you may never return alive. What you have just
15
00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.040
heard is the question asked during the War of agents
16
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:21.959
of the OSS. Ordinary citizens to this question answered yes.
17
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:47.040
This is Cloak and Dagger, black warfare, espionage, international intrigue.
18
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:52.599
These are the weapons of the OSS. In today's adventure, Windfall,
19
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.159
the part of McAllister is played by Lestra may Jan
20
00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:59.400
Minor plays Jen and Mike Slade is played by Bill Quinn.
21
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.319
The story is suggested by actual incidents recorded in the
22
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:07.359
Washington files of the Office of Strategic Services, a story
23
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:18.800
that can now be told. We had three new guests
24
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:21.479
at the lodge at Noirmont that day, and the first
25
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:23.479
one blew in just after lunch, and I recognize him
26
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:26.520
right away, at least I thought I did. I didn't
27
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:27.919
know who he was, you understand, but I thought I
28
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.599
knew what he was. A fellow American, for one thing,
29
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:33.719
and probably a member of the diplomatic mission at Baron.
30
00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:37.240
I wish now that that was all he had been.
31
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.680
You have a reservation for me the name Monsieur Heywood,
32
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:41.719
Frederick Heywood.
33
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.719
At one moment, Monsieur, I.
34
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:46.520
Made a mental note of that name as I shuffled
35
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.520
my cards and dealt myself another hand of solitaire. I
36
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:51.159
was sitting in the lobby close to the desk, and
37
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.199
not by accident, either, I made my business to catch
38
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:55.759
the names of new arrivals.
39
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:56.599
If you know a.
40
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:59.759
Man's name, he's usually more willing to sit down at
41
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.199
the car table with you. And if the guests at
42
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:06.599
Noirmont didn't play cards with me, how could I eat well?
43
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.639
Clerk, do you have the reservation or not. Yes, hit
44
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:10.240
is monsieur.
45
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.080
It was fund in yesterday from ber Your room is
46
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:13.719
being prepared.
47
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:15.560
Nowson, let me know what it's ready. I'll be in
48
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.439
the bar. I went to work.
49
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:21.120
Then I followed him into the bar. I was sure
50
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.560
by then that i'd size him upright. A secretary or
51
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.319
a file clerk could come to the lodge to ski
52
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:29.360
and relax. He was right for picking, I figured. I
53
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:31.120
found him at a table by the window, looking out
54
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:33.800
over the mountains of snow and ice and down into
55
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:38.960
the green Valley where Switzerland became France. Not see occupied France.
56
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:44.560
Welcome to normal, mister Heywood. Eh, who are you name?
57
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:45.000
Slade?
58
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.759
Mike Slade? I heard you ask for your reservation. I
59
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:52.080
couldn't help overhearing your name. You're an American, that's right.
60
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:57.240
You mind if I said, now, thanks up here to
61
00:03:57.240 --> 00:04:00.960
do a little skiing. I suppose perhaps planning to stay long?
62
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:05.240
That depends. Oh what a number of things, none of
63
00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:06.319
which are your business.
64
00:04:07.520 --> 00:04:09.840
Relax, mister Heywood. You don't have to be afraid to
65
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:12.599
talk to me. I'm not on the enemy's side. In fact,
66
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.879
I'm not on anybody's side. I'm just a plain ordinary
67
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:17.639
private citizen.
68
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:26.439
Oh and what are you doing in Switzerland, he.
69
00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:29.720
Asked, So I told him the whole sad story. How
70
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:31.800
I shipped out of San Francisco when I was fifteen,
71
00:04:31.879 --> 00:04:34.560
how I jumped ship in Shanghai, How I'd spent the
72
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.279
next twenty five years gambling my way around the world
73
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.079
till I hit it big, knocking over a roulette wheel
74
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:42.480
in Paris for a million francs.
75
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.240
So you're up here blowing your million francs.
76
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:49.160
I slid, No, not exactly, didn't last long enough to blow.
77
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:52.360
A week after I won it, the Germans marched into Paris,
78
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:55.160
and my money wasn't worth a thin diet. I got
79
00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:58.079
away and landed up here at Walmart. And I'm waiting
80
00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.560
ever since, waiting for what why, for someone to win
81
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:02.000
this war?
82
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:04.720
Of course, someone anyone, you mean.
83
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.000
Oh, I'm not too particular, mister hay Wooden, Like I say,
84
00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:11.199
I don't play sides. I'm what they call a neutral,
85
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:14.720
I guess, a neutral American. Well, it's been a long
86
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.439
time since I was in America. I just want them
87
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.879
to get the war over with somehow, so Jen and
88
00:05:19.959 --> 00:05:22.600
I can get out of here. Jen my girl wins
89
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.439
to hey, which she's one of the skiing instructors here
90
00:05:25.439 --> 00:05:27.879
at the lodge, and when I go, she's promised to
91
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:28.279
go with me.
92
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.519
I see, I'll go see if I rule ready? Oh
93
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:32.720
wait a minute, how about another drink?
94
00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:32.879
Well?
95
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:33.199
Thanks?
96
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:35.360
Well, look, if you're not doing anything tonight and you're
97
00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:38.480
like a little game of stud as got away as
98
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:40.839
any to pass the evening up here. Maybe, But I'm
99
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:43.759
rather particular about the kind of men I gamble with, Slade,
100
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:53.439
especially the kind of Americans. Oh well, I figured some
101
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:57.519
guys couldn't help being patriots. Me I had other things
102
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:00.160
to worry about, not enough money in my gene to
103
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:01.519
pay for my room at the end of the week,
104
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:02.839
and no stud game in sight.
105
00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.360
Hello, Mike, Jen, how are your babies?
106
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:08.480
Mike came into the bar a few minutes ago, but
107
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:10.800
you were talking to somebody here who was.
108
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:14.079
A guy named Heywood, an American just checked in from.
109
00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:17.959
Bern from Bay with Mike. He couldn't have what do
110
00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:20.000
you mean you left that heavy snow last night? He
111
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.959
couldn't have come by automobile. And you know perfectly well
112
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:26.000
the train from Beern doesn't arrive for another three hours.
113
00:06:26.279 --> 00:06:29.279
Hey, I forgot about that, And how the devil did
114
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:29.720
he get here?
115
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.199
There's only one way. You must have.
116
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:33.759
Walk walked all away from Bern.
117
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.680
He walked from down there in the valley, he came
118
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:39.120
across the French border.
119
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:43.040
Maybe you're forgetting there's a war on There aren't any
120
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:44.680
Americans touring France these days.
121
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.839
No, but there are some fighting for France, fighting with
122
00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:48.639
the French Marquis.
123
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:52.160
I don't know what cha an intelligence agents.
124
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:55.519
Mike, Hey, wait a minute, Maybe you've got something there
125
00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:58.800
that would explain why Heywood brush me off that way.
126
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:02.560
He must be one of those OSS guys we heard about.
127
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:10.519
It was the only answer. I didn't think much of it.
128
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:14.079
I figured an OSS agent just out of occupied France
129
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:16.759
wouldn't have enough money to finance a game of stud
130
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:19.480
So I went looking for someone who would.
131
00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:23.759
There's two ones, clerk, one for Dot, one for myself.
132
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:28.319
Crowds were crowds, and you didn't have to be a
133
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.800
patriot like Hey would not to like them. But I
134
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:32.439
figured that these two guys at the desk were a
135
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:33.879
couple of jokers on a holiday.
136
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:35.519
They'd be well.
137
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:39.959
Healedous, ridiculous, welcome to no gentlemen.
138
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.800
The clerk, what about those ones? I don't believe I
139
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:46.519
quite caught your names. Gentlemen, if you'll please my friend
140
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:48.759
dear trying to get accommodation, I am sorry.
141
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:52.000
All I can give you and here you and here Vierstadt.
142
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:54.199
Is a double room. There are no single ones, No, sir.
143
00:07:54.279 --> 00:07:56.680
The American who arrived today took the last one.
144
00:07:56.800 --> 00:07:59.920
Oh an America and the life.
145
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:03.519
I'm an American too, slaves. My name Mike Slade. But
146
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:05.199
it does not you who just cave.
147
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.439
No, no, I've been around for nearly three years.
148
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.240
The new guest is mister Heywood, mister Haywood, eh and
149
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.120
his room eighteen, Room eighteen.
150
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:15.720
I'm in twenty seven myself.
151
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.240
Gentlemen, if you'd be interested in a friendly game of
152
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:21.240
stud poker the saving I'm afraid we are going to
153
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:22.160
be busy this evening.
154
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:27.160
Yeah, we are going to be a valley busy.
155
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.559
So that took care of my last chance to put
156
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:36.639
some meat on my thin bank roll. Jen and I
157
00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:38.960
had dinner at the lodge that night. Then I walked
158
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:42.519
her back to a cottage above the hotel. The moon
159
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:46.519
was bright, dry, snow squeaked under our feet. It was
160
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:49.240
the same as any other night at Guamon, seemed the
161
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:52.279
same anyway, Even the things we talked about were the same.
162
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.960
We must be patient, Mike. We will leave Maamo.
163
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:58.840
Someday, but when and how We'll never get out until
164
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.080
I lay my hands on some dough, big dough, I mean,
165
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:03.720
not the kind I can win from a bunch of
166
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.200
yoguls who don't know two pair from a straight.
167
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:07.960
Your government would send your home, maybe.
168
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:09.879
Mike, Yeah, sure, sure, and shut me in the army.
169
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:12.240
Only they don't have any use for a guy in
170
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:16.440
my age, and that makes him mutual. Besides, they wouldn't.
171
00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:18.159
Let you go with me, but I would wait.
172
00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:19.799
And when the war is.
173
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:23.200
No dice, kid, when I go, you go. So the
174
00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:29.679
answer is still money. It sounds like somebody's been hurt.
175
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:34.080
Come on, Honey, done down this way, Mike.
176
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:36.120
There's something lying this moose.
177
00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:38.919
Yeah, yeah, that must be him.
178
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:42.399
Mike, Mike, it's the American, mister Heywood.
179
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:51.159
It was Hayward, all right, but it didn't look much
180
00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:54.080
like him anymore. His nose was broken and the rest
181
00:09:54.080 --> 00:09:56.720
of his face was pushed out of shape. Lord knows
182
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:58.240
what else they've done to him.
183
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:00.399
Mm hmm mm hmm.
184
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.879
You all right, take take an easy fellaw. We'll get
185
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:09.080
the doctor at the large nose.
186
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:15.679
Shure, slave, shure. You want to stand him jam.
187
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:23.120
It sounds as if you're saying shore sure, he left
188
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:27.039
shure the heel of his left shore back.
189
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:37.799
Alice, What what was that? McAllister Joe, he's dead.
190
00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:39.240
I'll get doctor gon to Mike.
191
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:44.320
Never mind doctor Gant the jam. He's dead.
192
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:48.960
No, how could it have happened? Do you think you
193
00:10:49.200 --> 00:10:50.240
very found a rock up there?
194
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.360
No, baby, he didn't fall of any rock. He fell
195
00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:54.919
under the hands of a couple of Germans.
196
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:01.080
It was all clear by that Heywood had.
197
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:04.080
Been an OSS agent, and the only winter sports the
198
00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:07.320
crowds had come to Noirmar for was torturing and beating him.
199
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:10.200
It was tough, plenty tough. But then I still had
200
00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:14.759
problems too. I unlaced Heywood's left boot and slipped it
201
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:15.399
off his foot.
202
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:16.480
What are you doing, Mike?
203
00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:19.840
Finding out what hitlers happened as boys were after.
204
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:21.879
Look, the heel slips right off the shoe.
205
00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:24.039
Yeah, there's something incited.
206
00:11:24.320 --> 00:11:29.360
Wait a minute, it's a little ceylander.
207
00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:30.320
It looks like a bullet.
208
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:34.679
That's no bullet, baby, it's a cylinder of microfilm microfi chers.
209
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:40.320
I don't know whatever it is, it's important, whatever's importance
210
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:40.960
is valuable.
211
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:45.960
What you think, uh me, I'm thinking about you and me, sweetheart.
212
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:47.159
Never mind.
213
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:49.159
Now, look, you take this film and get back to
214
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:51.639
your cottage and hide it. As far as anybody's concerned.
215
00:11:51.679 --> 00:11:53.399
You weren't with me when I found Heyward's body.
216
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:54.440
I don't understand.
217
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.480
You will get gone, baby, But what are you going
218
00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:56.759
to do?
219
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:00.000
Not a thing, Just sit around and cool my heels
220
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:14.360
and wait for a guy named McAllister. Of course I
221
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:17.919
had to report Heywood's death. I reported it to doctor Gunther,
222
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:21.720
the house physician at the lodge. Oh, this is terrible,
223
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.879
such a tragic excident. I didn't say it was an accident, doctor,
224
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:29.080
but it was, of course. No wait a minute, he said, so.
225
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:30.720
I am the doctor.
226
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.720
Yeah, but you can't here. Heywoods slipped in terre for
227
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:36.440
the lock. We will all do our best to see
228
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:41.639
that there's no another such tragedy. Really not sleep. It
229
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:43.440
gives the lotch a bad reputation.
230
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:48.679
So gun Through had already been briefed by his fellow crowds,
231
00:12:49.200 --> 00:12:52.159
and Heywood's death was an accident. Well, I was all
232
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:53.799
right with me. It didn't hurt my angle a bit.
233
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:57.080
The next morning, Guntha got all the guests together in
234
00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.120
the lobby and broke the sad new.
235
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:02.320
My friends, that you can all want to pay your
236
00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:07.559
last respects the victim of this unfortunate accident. Services for
237
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:10.879
her Heywood will be heard in the chapel. At three
238
00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:15.200
o'clock this afternoon turned away and I fell little sick.
239
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:18.360
Sometimes these Nazis made it hard for a guy to
240
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:22.120
stay strictly neutral, I was thinking. Then a hand clapped
241
00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:22.879
me on the shoulder.
242
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:27.559
Good morning, al Slid, Hello, Kitle, this is well, it said,
243
00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:29.720
this news about your fellow countryman.
244
00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:33.000
Yeah, you're all broken up about it, aren't you.
245
00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:36.799
Doctor guns informs me it was you who found the body.
246
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:40.039
In You and doctor Gunha keep each other pretty well informed.
247
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:42.120
I was wondering how Slid.
248
00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:47.120
Yeah, I was wondering if, by any chance, you also
249
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:48.639
found something else?
250
00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:53.679
Whe are you when you keep right on wondering her title?
251
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.360
At most that day, playing solitaire at my favorite table
252
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:04.559
near the desk, I wasn't listening for the names of
253
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:08.480
poker prospects anymore. I was listening for another name, McAllister,
254
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:13.559
but I didn't hear it. At three o'clock I went
255
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:16.320
down to the chapel, I figured ioto pay my last
256
00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:19.159
respects to Heywood too. Was the least I could do,
257
00:14:19.840 --> 00:14:23.559
considering how much I was going to own. So cheap
258
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:28.960
the accidental death of a passing stranger may seem like
259
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:29.799
a trivial thing.
260
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:32.240
Believe me, my friend, it.
261
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:35.360
Was almost over when a big blonde guy sat down
262
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:37.639
next to the You're Mike Slayton.
263
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:45.360
Yes, that's right. You found Heyward's body last night. What
264
00:14:45.440 --> 00:14:48.840
was left of him with us? He was still alive, wasn't.
265
00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:49.639
He his spirit?
266
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:50.759
Slightly?
267
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:51.679
Lightly?
268
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:58.399
Did he say anything? Not much mentioned the name McAllister.
269
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:02.720
Maybe I'm McAllister.
270
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:07.840
Oh he has gone okay and we are left here alone.
271
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:13.159
He gave you something for me? Yeah? Good? When can
272
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:17.039
I get it? When can you pay for it? Pay
273
00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:22.039
for it? That's what I said. I went twenty five
274
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:28.120
franks dollars full filthy double.
275
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:30.759
I'll watch it. Is that a way to act at
276
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:32.360
your buddy's funeral?
277
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:37.720
And now, dear friends, let it's all bow our heads
278
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:38.240
in prayer.
279
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.279
The minister's sermon wasn't the only one I've heard that day.
280
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:52.320
On the way back to the lodge, McAllister preached one too,
281
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:55.039
And you call your flag. MacAllister, You've got my proposition,
282
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:55.720
take it or leave it.
283
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:59.000
You know what's on that microfilm. You realize, what, what
284
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:00.799
do you think I could get that kind of money.
285
00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:04.240
You might try the embassy at Vain and if they
286
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:11.159
won't buy it, then maybe Berlin will Berlin, you would
287
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:14.000
actually shall let film to the Nazis sell out your
288
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:15.960
own country. I haven't had a country for a long time.
289
00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:18.159
You were born on Amerture, but I've lived in Switzerland
290
00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:18.840
for quite a while.
291
00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:22.759
Some of its neutrality is rubbed off on me.
292
00:16:29.320 --> 00:16:31.000
I stayed away from Jen all that day because I
293
00:16:31.039 --> 00:16:33.360
didn't want to attract any attention to her. But as
294
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.159
soon as it was dark, I started out for her cottage.
295
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:38.080
I didn't get very far.
296
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:40.240
Good evening house led.
297
00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:43.960
If Yes, stud and Ivish to talk.
298
00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:48.360
The you guys picked funny places for conversation. On the contrary,
299
00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:52.720
this fits our needs admirably. Three of us are low and.
300
00:16:52.720 --> 00:16:56.679
We had another conversation last night in a similar pace.
301
00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:58.639
It would regret to have this one end in the
302
00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:02.440
same way that Indeed, Okay, what do you after the
303
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:05.759
micro film? Of course, just give it to us. I
304
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:07.119
don't know what you're talking about.
305
00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:10.079
And I suppose we will have to stop the field.
306
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:15.000
There's arms ver ver stut pinned my arms behind me?
307
00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:17.000
Kinda let me have it square in the face with
308
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:21.480
a fist is hard. There's a sledgehammer. Where's the microfilm? Straight?
309
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:24.079
You'll never get it this way? Say not?
310
00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:25.960
You didn't get it away from Hey with this way,
311
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:29.240
did you? Why don't you meet heads? Get smart? Kill
312
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:31.000
me and you'll never lay hands on that film. And
313
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:33.240
if we don't carry you and you might have a chance.
314
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.759
How much would the chance cost a slid? I'm catching
315
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.359
on how much? Well I would have let you have
316
00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:42.480
a cheap before you started to push me around. The
317
00:17:42.519 --> 00:17:48.839
price is gone up. I want fifty fifty thousand marks dollars.
318
00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:59.480
Think it over, boys. They must have seen some logic
319
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:01.319
in it, because they stopped slugging me and went away
320
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:03.960
to talk it over. I didn't go to Jen's cottage
321
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:06.680
after all. I didn't want them following me, So I
322
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:08.440
went back up to my room. And when I got there,
323
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:13.319
my door unlocked. The room was a shambles. Somebody had
324
00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:17.960
gone through it like a cyclone. U oss, boys, now,
325
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:20.119
how to take a room apart, don't you McAllister? When
326
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:21.799
we have to Did you have to do this?
327
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:22.079
Oh?
328
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:24.839
I came up to do it, but those get Stoppa
329
00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:27.880
agents save me the trouble. It was already done. I
330
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:30.559
was afraid they might have found what they were looking for.
331
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:32.319
How do you know they didn't? By the condition of
332
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:34.799
your face. They've been working you over, haven't we?
333
00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:37.480
What have it? They wouldn't have bothered if they'd found
334
00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:40.119
the film. You're quite a brain, aren't you. Mccallis.
335
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:42.720
You're not slaved. If you were, you wouldn't be playing
336
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:44.920
this game. You're gonna wind up just where Heywood is.
337
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:47.599
I'll take my chances. You don't know what the doe
338
00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:49.519
means to me. You'd understand you don't know what these
339
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:52.440
films mean to the Allies, Or maybe you'd understand. Those
340
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:55.440
are pictures of German maps, Slaid maps, showing the location
341
00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:58.119
of every Nazib two rocket launching site on the French coast.
342
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:00.880
They could mean the saving of thousands of lives. They
343
00:19:00.880 --> 00:19:03.920
could even mean winning the war or losing it. Does
344
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:08.400
that make any impression on you? My price is still
345
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:14.160
the same, all right, Jen, Let me tell you what Heywood.
346
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:16.039
Went through to get those films. You'll be wasting your time.
347
00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:17.440
My price is still the same.
348
00:19:19.319 --> 00:19:22.480
Okay, you're the guy who has to look in the
349
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:27.240
mirror at yourself in your shave. I'll be around if you. Oh,
350
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:32.400
I forgot about this. What this picture was on the floor.
351
00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:34.480
I accidentally stepped on it and broke the frame.
352
00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:37.319
How me have that? I noticed the inscription to Mike
353
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:40.559
with all my love Jen. Okay, okay, let's have it.
354
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:45.000
She's the skiing instructor, isn't she beautiful? Girl? Be a
355
00:19:45.039 --> 00:19:48.559
shame if anything happened to that face? Is that a threat?
356
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:53.240
Mccallosy No, oh, the osays doesn't go in for torturing women.
357
00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:56.880
Maybe we're too sentimental. Why would anybody want to touch
358
00:19:56.960 --> 00:19:59.319
her because she's helping you play your little angle? What
359
00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:00.200
makes you think?
360
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:03.039
So? Just a guess. And if I can guess, it's
361
00:20:03.039 --> 00:20:07.119
so can Kitle and Erstadt. And they're not a bit sentimental.
362
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:19.720
It took me a while to fall asleep after that,
363
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:23.119
but I managed it finally. Couldn't have been much later
364
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:30.559
when the phone beside my bed woke me up. Yeah, Mike, Jen, Baby,
365
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:31.079
what's the matter.
366
00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:32.119
I've got to talk to you.
367
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:41.480
Mike, come to the cottage right away. I was scared
368
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:44.160
then all the way over, Machallous's words kept ringing in
369
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:45.519
my ears, and I was scared to.
370
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:46.079
Look at her face.
371
00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:48.559
But there was nothing the matter with it. When I
372
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:51.200
got there, the only mark center with the marks of
373
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:52.880
worry and a guilty conscience.
374
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:55.720
I couldn't sleep, Mike. I had to call you. I've
375
00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:56.839
been thinking about it.
376
00:20:56.720 --> 00:20:59.240
All night, about my new business enterprise.
377
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:02.200
I suppose you mean, yes, trying to make money out
378
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:03.119
of those microfilms.
379
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:05.839
It's wrong, Darling. We can't go through with it.
380
00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:08.680
Too bad, says McAllister. Was here, Yes, yes, he was
381
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:10.079
waving a flag all over the place.
382
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:12.720
What he said, madsense, He told me what was on
383
00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:15.559
the film. He made me say how Hayward had suffered.
384
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:16.759
To get it. I'm surprised you didn't turn it over
385
00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:17.680
THEE I wouldn't.
386
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:19.359
Do that, you know it. But I want you to
387
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:20.240
turn it over to him.
388
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:25.279
I will for twenty five grand, Mike, for nothing.
389
00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:28.160
Because they belonged to him rightfully, and because they'll help
390
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:29.240
the Allies win the world.
391
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:32.480
No dice, baby, Mike, do you want those vile metal
392
00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:33.319
s Natzi's too win?
393
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:36.440
All I want is my twenty five Jeeves, and then
394
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:37.519
you and I can get out of here.
395
00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:39.720
Not you and I.
396
00:21:39.960 --> 00:21:41.279
Mike what.
397
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.880
I won't go with you under those conditions.
398
00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:47.839
You don't mean that I do. I do.
399
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:52.319
I love you, Mike, but I couldn't go on loving
400
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:54.720
you if you did a thing like this. I come
401
00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:55.240
to hate you.
402
00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:56.359
Jen.
403
00:21:56.559 --> 00:21:58.519
I'm sorry, Darling, It's true.
404
00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:05.000
Well, Mike, I've waited twenty five years for break like this.
405
00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:08.079
I'm not going to let it run down the drain,
406
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:13.960
not even for you. If you don't want to go okay,
407
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:14.839
I'll be traveling along.
408
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:21.039
I don't think you'll be traveling anywhere just yet a slide.
409
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:27.720
It was titled and just behind it was Verstadt, and
410
00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:30.599
both of them carried Lucas. Before I could move, Verstat
411
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.240
had used his the butter had clipped me on the head.
412
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:33.960
I know.
413
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:38.000
I remember hearing Jen scream and feeling myself crumbling toward
414
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:44.000
the floor. When I came to, I couldn't move my
415
00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:46.680
arms on my legs. It took me a minute.
416
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:48.599
To figure out why I was tied with a chair.
417
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:52.160
Slowly the room came back and focused, and I saw
418
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:53.359
the two Guestapo agents.
419
00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:56.920
Then I saw Jen. What they've been doing get your
420
00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:58.920
hands off of your filthy rights. Don't touch her.
421
00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:01.519
Again, being I need to touch a her sleeve if
422
00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:03.799
you will corporate with us better than cheers been doing.
423
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:06.559
Where is the microfilm hair sleeves? You still think you're
424
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:07.440
gonna find out for free?
425
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:12.079
Huh yeah, me think so? Where is the microfilm hairsleeve? Along?
426
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:14.359
You tell us where it is? All right, all right,
427
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:17.759
stop it. I'll tell you to stop it.
428
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:23.720
We have stopped her slid my Please tell us, okay
429
00:23:24.359 --> 00:23:25.200
a microfilm is?
430
00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:29.880
It?
431
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:32.119
Came from outside through the window that revolve a shot
432
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:34.640
fierce that let out a groan and dropped the floor.
433
00:23:34.720 --> 00:23:36.599
Titdle dropped the floor too, but he hadn't been hit.
434
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:38.759
He flicked the light switches, he went down.
435
00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:39.599
The room went black.
436
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:42.680
The advantage was all his now he was in the
437
00:23:42.759 --> 00:23:45.839
pitch black room. Whoever was outside was moving around on
438
00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.599
the bright moonlight, made even brighter by the snow. I
439
00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:53.279
saw a title's gun spit the gun outside, answered. I
440
00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:55.759
was still tied hand and foot to the chair. There
441
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:59.160
wasn't anything I could do, or was there. I remember
442
00:23:59.160 --> 00:24:01.559
that the light switch was just over my head. I
443
00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:03.680
worked until I got my chair turned around, so I
444
00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:06.400
was facing the wall. I started butting up with at
445
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:07.039
the switch.
446
00:24:06.799 --> 00:24:07.240
With my head.
447
00:24:07.799 --> 00:24:10.640
Three times I missed it. Fourth time it clicked. The
448
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:13.599
room was flooded with light. Kidle was outlined at the
449
00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:24.079
window like a sitting duck. It wasn't any great surprise
450
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:26.400
when a tall blonde guy walked in a minute later.
451
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:29.720
He started one timing. Looks as if you had to
452
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:32.119
choose signs after all, Slaine, Yeah.
453
00:24:32.039 --> 00:24:36.359
It looks as if maybe I did ms. You are right, Jen,
454
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:44.079
I'll be fine, sure, baby, Yes, Mike, thank you, mister McAllister.
455
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:48.119
I should have said that to McAllister. Thanks.
456
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:53.119
That's okay, Mike, And I don't you see now, don't
457
00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:54.400
you understand.
458
00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:55.720
I don't know what you're talking about?
459
00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:58.680
You do? You must the difference between here and those
460
00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:03.200
horrible roots. It's the whole point, Mike. That's why you
461
00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:05.359
can't hold onto that microfilm.
462
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:11.240
Oh yeah, yeah, the microfilm. I've been thinking about that.
463
00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:15.559
You've decided to give it to me. No, I haven't, McCallister.
464
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:20.440
I'm a gambler, and gamblers don't give things away. All
465
00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:23.799
they do give is a sporting chance. What do you mean,
466
00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:28.400
I'll cut cards with you for the microfilm double enough.
467
00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:30.680
If I get the high card, you will give me
468
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:33.960
the film, right, and if I get high card, you
469
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:35.200
pay me fifty thousand.
470
00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:37.240
It's the deal.
471
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:59.799
Slate Okay, yeah, shovel McCallister, you cut first, one card doesn't.
472
00:26:01.920 --> 00:26:10.440
Well? Six not so good, fellow, go on, slate, cut
473
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:21.359
well four, I win. There, you win, get them the film?
474
00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:25.680
Jen, all right, Mike, Now, both sides in this war
475
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:27.839
have cost me money.
476
00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:32.039
There it is mister Mcanithton, and good luck to you.
477
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:33.839
With his luck, he'll win the worst single handed.
478
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:39.960
These microfilms will help. Good Bye, Jen, he's see yeah, he's.
479
00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:41.119
Seeing mcal's.
480
00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:49.119
Mike, why did you do it?
481
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:49.480
Do what?
482
00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:56.839
Here's your card? The one new cut. He wasn't a fool,
483
00:26:57.839 --> 00:26:58.799
it was a thing.
484
00:27:00.400 --> 00:27:00.599
Yeah.
485
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:06.319
I know you had him beaten. He would have paid
486
00:27:06.319 --> 00:27:07.359
the fiftieth thousand.
487
00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:14.839
That's right, Mark, Why did you do it? I don't know, baby.
488
00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:19.920
I guess some guys just can't helping suckers.
489
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:24.759
I guess some guys just can't helping patriots.
490
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:36.000
So we were stuck in Switzerland for a couple of
491
00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:37.000
more years, Jane and I.
492
00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:39.680
There were times when I could have kicked myself for
493
00:27:39.720 --> 00:27:43.799
being a sentimental chump lots of times until a day
494
00:27:43.839 --> 00:27:46.519
came after the war when I ran into McAllister again.
495
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:49.920
I felt better about it then. I guess you know.
496
00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:52.400
What the Alliant Air Forces did to those Nazi rocket
497
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:55.519
launching sites along the French coast couldn't have been done
498
00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:58.559
without the microfilm Slave, so you can take some credit
499
00:27:58.640 --> 00:28:01.839
for it. You were the toughest lie the US has
500
00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:06.880
ever had, brother, but you did the job. And once
501
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:09.920
again the report of another OSS agent closes with.
502
00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:12.240
The words mission accomplished.
503
00:28:12.519 --> 00:28:15.559
Today's story was based on actual incidents recorded in the
504
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:17.720
Washington files of the USS.
505
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:22.799
And was brought to you on Cloak and Dagger.
506
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:46.559
Heard in Today's Cloak and Dagger Adventures, McAllister was Less Tremaine,
507
00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:51.400
Mike Slaide, Bill Quinn, Jan Jan Minor. Others were Grant Richards,
508
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:56.319
Raymond Edward Johnson, Carl Weber, Charles Irving, Steffan Schnabel, Boris Applin,
509
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:59.920
Paul Arnold, and Jerry Jarrett. The script was written by
510
00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:03.119
Field and the music was under the direction of John Guard.
511
00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:08.440
Sound effects by Jerry McGee, engineering by Joe Silva. Today's
512
00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:11.559
OSS Adventure was based on the book Clokndagger by Corey
513
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:15.839
Fard and Alistair McBain. This program was produced by Lewis G.
514
00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:19.799
Collen and Alfred Hollander and under the direction and supervision
515
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:20.640
of Sherman Marx.
516
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:32.839
Welcome Back. In some ways, this episode clse to mind
517
00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:40.480
the film Cossablanca, with an expat trying to maintain neutrality
518
00:29:41.119 --> 00:29:46.119
in a neutral place. Although Mike lacks the heroic backstory
519
00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:49.640
of Rick Wayne, I think Mike is wrong to make
520
00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:52.440
his decision by two things. First of all, in the
521
00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.599
Nazis really didn't do much to make friends in the
522
00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:00.680
course of this operation, as was could be said of
523
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:05.480
most of the war, and through their brutality, particularly towards Jen,
524
00:30:05.759 --> 00:30:09.000
pushed him towards his own country. But I think more
525
00:30:09.039 --> 00:30:15.200
importantly was the service and the approach of OSS men,
526
00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:20.359
in particular McAllister. And this is another key similarity with
527
00:30:20.519 --> 00:30:24.119
Casablanca of the cynic being inspired by the courage of
528
00:30:24.160 --> 00:30:29.640
a dedicated patriot, with McAllister instead of Victor Loslow and
529
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:34.759
his action obviously more direct and seventy five years later,
530
00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:38.400
I think that inspiration still continues through the stories we've
531
00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:41.279
heard on Cloak and Dagger. The type of people we've
532
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:45.759
heard about in this series are not the superspies of
533
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:51.000
James Bond or I Spy, or the men from Uncle
534
00:30:51.119 --> 00:30:56.319
who would become such icons of popular culture. These were
535
00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:01.400
not professional spies, but citizens who took on a dangerous task,
536
00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:05.680
all responding yes to the offer that we heard at
537
00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:08.640
the start of each episode, and at least some of
538
00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:13.640
the people profiled paid with their lives. Some made colossal mistakes,
539
00:31:13.799 --> 00:31:17.319
others were either the victim or the beneficiary of luck.
540
00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:21.119
All took graversk to save the world from a darkness
541
00:31:21.119 --> 00:31:24.279
that threatened it and paid a cost to save it.
542
00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:28.519
Logan Dagger honors these brave men and women and holds
543
00:31:28.599 --> 00:31:34.640
up wonderfully as an exciting adventure series, great drama, and
544
00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:39.279
also a magnificent tribute to the sacrifices of the men
545
00:31:39.359 --> 00:31:42.960
and women of the OSS. I hope you've enjoyed this series.
546
00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:45.480
I've heard a lot of great feedback from so many
547
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:49.359
of you who have enjoyed this series and really been
548
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:53.319
surprised by it. It's a great gem that a lot
549
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:58.440
of people haven't listened to, and for our first adult series,
550
00:31:58.839 --> 00:32:02.319
it really sets a high bar and it's been such
551
00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:04.799
a delight to bring it to you. And now it's
552
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:08.200
time to thank our Patreon supporter of the day, and
553
00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:12.240
I want to thank Ian, Patreon supporter since September twenty twenty,
554
00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:15.720
currently supporting the podcast at the secret Agent level of
555
00:32:15.759 --> 00:32:18.319
four dollars or more per month. Thanks so much for
556
00:32:18.359 --> 00:32:18.920
your support.
557
00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:19.200
Ian.
558
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:22.880
And in terms of our series, next Saturday we begin
559
00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:28.039
our holiday break and we'll have an encore presentation for
560
00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:31.720
one of our other podcasts that still fits very well
561
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:35.960
into the Great Adventurers theme and also fits within the
562
00:32:36.000 --> 00:32:41.079
sort of crime adventure that people would expect for being
563
00:32:41.160 --> 00:32:46.279
cross posted on Great Detectives. However, the Great Adventurers podcast
564
00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:50.759
will be back on Tuesday for one last episode, this
565
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:55.559
one of Adventure Ahead and the Great Detectives podcast. We
566
00:32:55.799 --> 00:33:00.400
have our Sunday encore coming up tomorrow and then on
567
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:05.039
Monday our regular lineup with Danger with Granger. In the meantime,
568
