is time for this week's episode of Dangerous
13
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.840
Assignment. The original aired eight January
twenty eighth, nineteen fifty three, and
14
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:57.200
the title is The Hunt for Karen. Dangerous Assignment timescribes Darring Brian don Leave
15
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:17.479
as Steve Mitchell. Yeah, danger
is my assignment. I get sent to
16
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:21.280
a lot of places I can't even
pronounce. They all spell the same thing,
17
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.280
though, trouble. But when I
walk into the Commissioner's off because I
18
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.599
don't realize this assignment's going to prove
that sometimes the only way to catch the
19
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:38.960
right guy is to chase the wrong
One morning, commissioners sent for me.
20
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:43.560
Se Ever, hear of a gent
named Karen. Karen Cherry ran a river
21
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.159
taxi ferried the souls of the dead
across the river sticks. He was in
22
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.919
Greek mythology. This one's in Mexico
City. Come again, mister Karen,
23
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.319
he calls himself. He's a cold
blooded killer, Steve an assassin for hired
24
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:58.159
and mixed up in half a dozen
international murders. There's given us nothing but
25
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.400
trouble during the past few years.
I want you to go to Mexico City
26
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:05.599
to find a man named Tilippe Alvarado. He says he has all the information
27
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:07.960
we need to nail Karen. Alvarado
has been playing a game of hide and
28
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:12.280
seek with us. He wants to
make a cash deal before he does any
29
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.639
talking. For fifty thousand dollars,
he'll put the finger on mister Karaen.
30
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.000
So it's up to me to find
him and convince him. We don't do
31
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:21.840
business that way. Real Sinch.
Get to Alvarado, get the evidence we
32
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:23.960
need to nail mister Karen. But
don't waste any time, mister Karen,
33
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:29.240
here's the deal. He'll be looking
for Alvarado too, Are you well?
34
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:46.800
That's it, Steve, You've got
your assignment. Good luck. The National
35
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:52.439
Broadcasting Company is presenting Dangerous Assignment,

agent. At all those places of the
37
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.080
world where danger and intrigue walk hand
in hand, There you will find Steve
38
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:05.400
Mitchell on another dangerous assignment. One
of the most important functions of a radio
39
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:10.639
network is the quick dissemination of news. When you listen to the NBC Radio
40
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:15.560
Network, you can depend upon expert
news reporters, analysts and commentators to bring
41
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.040
you all the important news whenever and
wherever it happens. And you can depend
42
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:25.120
upon NBC for full coverage of all
major news events at home and overseas.
43
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:29.439
NBC employees reporters in all of the
important news making cities of the world,
44
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:34.000
and via the worldwide facilities of major
news gathering agencies. NBC can give you
45
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:39.680

received. So when you want the best
46
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:45.439
radio news coverage, be sure to
set your radio dial to this NBC station.
47
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.399
Here. I've get my assigned and
get down to Mexico City in persuade
48
00:04:56.399 --> 00:05:00.120
a gent named Felipe Alvarada hand over
the evidence we need to grab off an
49
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.040
international killer known as mister Karen.
It's early Friday evening when my plane sets
50
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:08.360
down and one of our boys,
Jeff Sloan, meets me at the airport.
51
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:12.480
We hop into his car and drive
over to a quiet residential district on
52
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:16.120
the outskirts of town. There's a
house up ahead, Steve, left hand
53
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:21.480
side of the road. M some
layout. You sure he's the man we
54
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:25.879
want, Jeff, Yeah, he's
Philippe Alvarado. All right, when did
55
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.360
you get a leader on this place? Just an hour ago? The local
56
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:31.160
laws cooperating. They have men watching
the villa. That one of them up
57
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:35.000
ahead there under the trees. Yeah, let's check him. Hey, good
58
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:40.720
eating, Sergeant Ruise. This is
Steve Mitchell, Senor Mitchell. Hello,
59
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:44.720
raise our man still inside. We've
been here only a few minutes, but
60
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.160
he has not left the house during
that time. But he has had visitors.
61
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.040
First was a woman. She entered
the house from fifteen minutes ago.
62
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:55.439
She's still inside. And the other
visitors one or a man. She went
63
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.360
in about five minutes after the young
lady. He was only inside the house
64
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.519
for a few minutes and then come
out again. You have anyone following him?
65
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:05.279
How about the servants? They leave
the house at the aeroclos a few
66
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:10.000
moments before the only lady arrived.
Okay, well here goes you two.
67
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:24.199
Wait here. I move across the
road, push open the heavy iron gates.
68
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.240
Hurry up the path to the front
door of the villa. And I
69
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:33.240
leaned on the bell. No answer. I'm about to ring again when I
70
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:38.639
notice the door is open, just
a crack. The center hall is dark,
71
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:42.800
and the house is quiet, too
quiet. At the foot of the
72
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:48.279
curved staircase is a door, a
thin sliver of light under it. Sitting
73
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.279
at a desk in a tall,
high backed chairs, a gentle in a
74
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:57.040
white suit. There's a surprised expression
on his face, frozen there. He
75
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:05.120
doesn't pat an eyelash, He can't
steve what is it? Looks like mister
76
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:09.759
Karen beat us to it. Jeff, what, holy smokes, it's Alvarado
77
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.839
dead all right, strangled, cord
wrapped around his back. And look at
78
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:17.920
the room a shambo. Somebody gave
this place a fast frisk, including Alvarado.
79
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.639
Look, his pocket's been turned inside
out. Walla's gone too. Yeah,
80
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:26.959
and probably whatever evidence he had on
mister Karen is going too. Come
81
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:30.600
on, let's have a look around. That lady visitor Luis mentioned must still
82
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.160
be Hey, wait a minute,
what is it? Steve thought I heard
83
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:38.720
a noise sounded like it came from
Yeah, door to the next room is
84
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:44.759
partially open. Hey, oh great, Oh Steve, is she no,
85
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:51.319
she's coming around? Oh you okay? Miss? Oh my head, take
86
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:58.560
it easy now, oh my head. What I was just going to ask
87
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:03.279
you that sitting there in the chair
by the terelephone, I heard someone come
88
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:09.160
in. I started to get up
and turn around. Something struck me on
89
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:11.079
the side of the head. You
didn't see who it was. No,
90
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.360
it happened so quickly, Steve.
Look over there, and lunch windows are
91
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.000
often killer could have gotten out that
way. There's been a murder, miss,
92
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:24.279
Senor Alvarado. Alvarado, who is
he? You don't know? Should
93
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:26.560
I? Yeah? Sorry that he
happens to live here. Look, who
94
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.800
are you and what are you doing
here? Oh? I am Maria Montalba.
95
00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:35.320
I came to the house to use
the telephone to call the garage down
96
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.399
the road. You see my carriage
still not far away. The man of
97
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.879
the house led me in here and
then went into the next room. Oh,
98
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:46.759
Alvarado had a visitor shortly after you
arrived. Did you see him hear
99
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.559
anything? No? Nothing, not
even the door chimes. No, I
100
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.759
do not recall the door might have
been unlocked, Steve. He could have
101
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.200
just walked in. Yeah, and
he also walked out that front door a
102
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.039
few minutes later, according to Sergeant
from the looks of things here, it
103
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.080
would see our killer made his escape
through this room after slugging Miss Montalba,
104
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:09.840
then ducked out those French windows.
But Ruiz has a man in the garden.
105
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.559
Yeah, it could have happened before
Ruiz's man got there. Stay stay
106
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:18.000
here with a girl, Jeff.
I'll have a look. I run out
107
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.080
through the French windows, across the
flagstone patio and end of the garden.
108
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:24.960
I can hear Sergeant Ruise shouting to
his men close by. And then I
109
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.200
think if I spot someone moving along
the back garden wall. As I start
110
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.039
for it, a short, heavy
gent suddenly steps out in front of me
111
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:37.399
and jams a gun into my ribs. Take it easy, busted quickly,
112
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:43.519
I said, do not move,
senor. Look, you'll never get out
113
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:52.000
of here. The joint's crawling with
not one word signor or I pull the
114
00:09:52.039 --> 00:10:01.480
trigger. Why maybe one are on
the other side of the hall. You
115
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.480
did well not to So what happens
now? Do I get what you gave
116
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:09.600
that guy inside? I seen you. I did not kill him, although
117
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.799
I confessed that was my reason for
cunning here. I was too late.
118
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.600
He deserves to die. To stick
CONRADI you mean Alvarado. You may have
119
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.320
no name as Alvarado, but his
real name was CONRADI butcher of Barrio,
120
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:22.919
and many wished him dead. Now, Senior, move to the back gate.
121
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:26.639
If you're innocent, you're taking a
strange way of proving it leaving at
122
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:30.559
the point of a gun. Where
I come from. My reputation is a
123
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.879
good one. I don't I wish
to jeopardize it by such an occurrence as
124
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:37.679
this move. I said, I
move all right, but not in the
125
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.639
direction he's expecting. I throw myself
back. It knocks him off fast plug
126
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:43.679
whistles past my ear and I die
for his gun hand, but my footslips.
127
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:46.200
I grab it his coat and his
pocket tears off in my hand as
128
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.720
I plow into a mass of shrubbery. By the time I untangle myself and
129
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.480
get to my feet, the little
genter is long gone. You make over
130
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.799
here always? Are you all right? Yeah? Except for a few scratches
131
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.759
and a bum ankle, As they
say in the movies, he went that
132
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:11.080
away. Ruiz takes off after him. I spot an envelope on the ground
133
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:16.080
with the torn pocket. It's addressed
to a senior Vasquez in the South American
134
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.600
city. I went back to the
house, filling Jeff on what's happened and
135
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.120
what I want him to do.
Then I put in a call to police
136
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:24.440
headquarters. Ten minutes later, a
gray haired, wiry little gent named Captain
137
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.320
Astasio shows up, and I take
him into the room where the dead man
138
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:33.799
is. There's a great deal yet
I would recognize him anywhere. This is
139
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.519
Enrico Conradi, otherwise known as the
Butcher of Barrio. Who was he?
140
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.000
An evil man? Senor Mitchell,
a most evil man, one of the
141
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.799
most hated men of South America.
He was chief of detectives there many years
142
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.039
ago, and if I remember correctly, there were more than a dozen attempts
143
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.120
on his life during his administration.
With so many people after his skin,
144
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:54.399
he changed his name to Alvarado and
came here. Huh. You know,
145
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.799
Captain, this brings an interesting question
to mind. Was this man killed as
146
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:03.600
Alvarado or as CONRADI you mean,
did he killer come here seeking only revenge
147
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:07.159
or was he after the evidence that
would identify mister Carol. If the motive
148
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.200
was revenge and only revenge, there's
a chance the evidence we want is still
149
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.600
around still look about you, Senor. The room was searched, That is
150
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:18.240
quite clear. Yeah, looks like
it was mister Karen who did the job.
151
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:22.440
All right, this this evidence you
see exactly what is it? I
152
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.399
only wish I knew it could be
a photograph of mister Karen's and papers the
153
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:30.919
police file. Probably that would tie
in with Conraddi here since he was once
154
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:35.960
a cop. Oh, CAPTAINTAIA phone
call for you. Oh, thank you.
155
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:41.679
I will be right back, Senor
Mitchell. You take care of that
156
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:43.639
little job, Jeff. Yeah,
Steve, the man from the garage brought
157
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:48.240
back Miss Montalba's car a few minutes
ago. Simple repair job, they said,
158
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:50.879
how simple? Loose wiring, They
said, it could have been done
159
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.080
on purpose. I see where's the
girl now? Police matrons with her.
160
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.720
Nothing turned up from the frisk.
What do you think, Steve, her
161
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:01.240
story could be true, Senor Mitchell? Yeah, Captain, I have just
162
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:05.759
received a report on the man who
visited this house earlier tonight, the man
163
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:07.559
seen by Sergeant Ruys. Yeah,
the guy who was only in the house
164
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.120
a few minutes. What about him? He was followed to the Hotel International.
165
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:16.279
His name is Dominic, Karl Dominic. Okay, let's pay him a
166
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:30.080
call. Fifteen minutes later, Captain
is Stashio and I walk into the lobby
167
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:33.159
of the Hotel International. The Captain
takes up a position near the elevators,
168
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:35.720
and after I checked with the clerk
at the desk, I head up the
169
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.639
stairs. Then, just as I
reached the landing on the second floor,
170
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:41.120
I catch a movement out of the
corner of my eye. I ducked,
171
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:46.039
but not fast enough. A noose
settles around my neck. Then it jerks
172
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:48.080
a pipe. My claw at it, but it's no use. My head's
173
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:52.639
pulled back and I'm looking straight up
into the ceiling lighted timmer, timmer.
174
00:13:54.200 --> 00:14:11.440
Then it goes out. Steve Mitchell
will continue his dangerous assignment in just a
175
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:15.639
moment. If your child can run
and skip and jump, he's lucky.
176
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:18.039
Just think how you'd feel if he'd
been crippled. In last year's record infantile
177
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:22.120
paralysis epidemic, more than one hundred
eighty six thousand Americans, most of them
178
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.879
children, were stricken by infantile paralysis
in the last five years, and last
179
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.879
year's polio epidemic was the worst on
record. Polio took away the power of
180
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:35.000
their hands and their fingers. Would
you like to save thirty million children from
181
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.879
attack by infantile paralysis? Well,
it takes millions of dimes and dollars spent
182
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:45.919
in medical research before a protective vaccine
is discovered. Last year, the National
183
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:48.720
Foundation for Infantile Prolysis went out to
every man, woman, and child who
184
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:54.039
needed help. And now your national
foundation is seven million dollars in debt.
185
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:58.440
Yes, the nineteen fifty two blow
of polio has got its fighters rocking on
186
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.279
their financial heels. And remember,
you can't fight your child's enemy just by
187
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:05.559
wishing it takes giving your giving.
Take a walk, now, won't you?
188
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:11.080
So the polio stricken may walk later
join the nineteen fifty three March of
189
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:31.639
Dimes. Now back to Dangerous Assignment
and Brian don Levy as Steve Mitchell Mitchell.
190
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:35.080
Eh, oh, captainess. Yes, you fell apart way down the
191
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:37.240
stairs. I heard the noise and
got here just in time to loosen the
192
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.799
court. Thanks. Did do you
see anybody around when you ran up to
193
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:43.440
me? No? Now, the
haul in the stairway were quite empty.
194
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.840
You were on your way to Carl
Dominic's room at the time, Yeah,
195
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.559
could be. He gave me a
little reception in that case in your I
196
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:56.720
suggest we return to visit at once. We go back up the stairs to
197
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.720
Carl Dominic's room. He turns out
to be a tall slender putting a gent
198
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:06.559
in a dressing gown who keeps messaging
his fingernails with a buffer. Dominique.
199
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:10.159
Earlier this evening you visited a villa
on the edge of the city. Of
200
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:14.799
course, be love Sagnor Alvarado.
Why did you go there to discuss a
201
00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:19.600
small business? Dear? Oh my
card, mister Mitchell, Carl Dominic,
202
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:26.120
fine perfumes you see, saguorl Verado
had expressed a desire to enter into business
203
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:30.600
of some sort. So it occurred
to me that he might like to take
204
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:33.399
overl of the perfume track. I
see, and that was the matter you
205
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:38.679
discussed with him. No, after
all, Captain, the one cannot carry
206
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:44.840
on a very intelligent discussion with the
dead man. I see. Your story
207
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.320
is that Alvarado was dead when you
arrived. Of course, quite a nasty
208
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:53.279
site. You left the house at
once, indeed the post haste, as
209
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:57.639
the expression is, and without reporting
the matter to the police. Slight error
210
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:02.159
of judgment, as I now realized, Why didn't you report it? Well?
211
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:04.200
As I told you, I am
in the perfume business, and this
212
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:10.400
affair, forgive me, did not
smell too good. I thought any publicity
213
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:14.759
involving me with it might be very
injurious to my professional connections. How did
214
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:18.640
you get in the front door?
As you? Sure? She said she
215
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:22.119
didn't hear the bell? It rad
had told me of the telephone that the
216
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:25.359
servants were out. You said it
would need the door unlocked for me,
217
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:29.400
and it was I did not need
to ring the bell, I see,
218
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.839
Senor, Are you expecting a visitor? Why? No, no, I
219
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.279
will see who it is. Just
sit still, Daminic. I'll go,
220
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:42.880
but very well, oh well,
boy, see these were ordered for this
221
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:48.039
room, Senior. H okay,
I'll take it here, gustious gratias.
222
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:53.119
Oh here we have a tray,
a cocktail shaker, and three martinis.
223
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:59.359
Captain, very interesting. I thought
you weren't expecting visitors, Dominic, I
224
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:03.839
meant any more visitors, gentlemen.
You see I was expecting you, indeed
225
00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:10.319
is Indeed, as I was leaving
Elverado's villa, I saw a policeman following
226
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:12.960
me. I knew it would be
only a question of time before I received
227
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:18.000
a visit from the police. Got
all the angles figured, haven't you in
228
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:22.359
my own modest way, I suppose
you try an onion in your marchinie or
229
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.200
would you gotta have a stuff all
of us? Suppose you try a stuff,
230
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:37.400
dollive, we're leaving. Come on, Captain, A most perplexing case,
231
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.119
MITU. Yeah, this Dominic is
a cool cookie, pretty sure of
232
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:44.400
himself. He could have knocked off
Conrady and grabbed the evidence. But who
233
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:45.920
then hit the girl over the head
and left by the guard could be the
234
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:49.359
GENTI ran into in the garden,
Vescuarrez or else the girl was lying about
235
00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:52.440
getting hit. That, of course, is a possibility. Off here's another
236
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.160
thought. Maybe Dominic kill Conrady then
slug Marie and opened the garden minoe to
237
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:59.960
make it look like the killer left
that way. But it seems to me
238
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.640
if Dominic's the killer, he'd be
long gone by now, instead of pouring
239
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:08.119
Martiniz for us in this hotel room. Oh come in, Oh, Sergeant
240
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:12.559
Luise, you're mitching the menu encountered
in the garden outside Conradi's villain Rasquez.
241
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:15.000
What about him? The letter you
took from his pocket, He gave us
242
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.799
his home address in South America.
We investigated and have found he's a prominent
243
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.640
citizen of the same city where the
dead man Conradi used to be cheap of
244
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:25.799
police. Oh, from what we
could find out, apparently there was a
245
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:30.119
scandal involved in Conratti and Basquez's wife. I see, Captain, it looks
246
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:33.400
like that sort of takes Fasquez off
the hook. Yes, his motive would
247
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:36.839
have been clearly revenge. Yet Conradi's
killer tore the room apart looking for evidence
248
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:38.960
on mister carrol I. Guess that
brings us back to the girl again.
249
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:42.279
But Mitchell, bear in mind that
at the time the killer made an attempt
250
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:45.319
on your life. With that news
of Domini's hotel, the girl was being
251
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.680
held here at policehead. Yeah,
but it is possible she's working with the
252
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.279
killer. She may have gotten into
Conradi's villa with her story about a car
253
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.920
breakdown, so she could open the
window and let the killer in. Look,
254
00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:57.680
why don't you release her and let
me tailor? Right now, it
255
00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:07.640
looks like she's our only lead,
So we release Marie, I give her
256
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.000
a block lead start after her.
And it's a slim chance that the trail
257
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:15.759
of lead anywhere. But right now
I'm grabbing at anything which might possibly throw
258
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:19.680
a little light on the deal.
And suddenly stop A little light. Yeah,
259
00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:23.079
a little light I was staring at
overhead when the noose was tightening around
260
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:26.440
my neck. The deal begins to
add up fast. I start walking again,
261
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.359
and all of a sudden, I've
got a feeling I'm being followed.
262
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.759
I spot a shadow in the doorway
across the street. I speed up,
263
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:37.359
turn into an alley. Then I
stop and hug the side of the building
264
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:45.440
and I wait. Pretty soon I
hear someone easing closer than he turns into
265
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:48.000
the alley. I spot the gun
in his hand, gleaming in the moonlight.
266
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.680
I grabbed for it. Let me
have it go, Thank you.
267
00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:56.880
Yeah, just what I thought,
my little friend Vesquez from the garden.
268
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:00.640
It figured to be you. What
do you mean, Dominic's taller than I
269
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:03.559
am. You're the only short one
in the deal. A little guy from
270
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.240
behind me would have to pull down
on the news at forced my head back.
271
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:11.599
And that's how come I was staring
up at the light overhead when I
272
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:15.319
blacked out, had not choicen you. I was afraid you would track me
273
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:17.920
down. I had to try and
put you out of the way, just
274
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:21.240
like you were trying to do.
Now you know, Besquez, what threw
275
00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:25.000
me off was the room being torn
apart. You did kill Conrady for revenge,
276
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:27.240
all right. Then tore the room
apart, not looking for evidence,
277
00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:30.960
but for a reason so obvious we
overlooked it. You wanted to make the
278
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:36.160
motive look like common ordinary robbery.
See, in the process, you remove
279
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:40.759
some evidence. I want evidence that
identifies an international killer known as mister Karen.
280
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:42.359
I took only a few papers and
some keys. What did you do
281
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:45.200
with them? Threw them in the
bushes outside the walls of Gnrady's villa.
282
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:51.079
Take me to them, all right, doesn't matter anymore anyway to me,
283
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:57.079
it does. Believe me. Come, I will show you here as I
284
00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:03.319
remember. Oh are you there against
the world behind the large bushes. Yeah,
285
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:08.839
I see this stuff. I got
it, some papers and keys.
286
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:14.240
You know. This key looks like
one of a baggage locker five. Will
287
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:17.079
get your ten. That's where the
evidence is. Thank you very much for
288
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:23.160
finding Dominate. Drop the gun,
Mitch alias mister Karen exactly. You went
289
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:26.960
to kill CONRADI, but found out
somebody else had done your dirty work for
290
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:33.200
you for another reason. Yeah,
your friend Vasquez. I realized he must
291
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:36.200
have taken the evidence about me,
and that is why I've been following him.
292
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:40.279
And now you have been kind enough
to find it for me. Yeah,
293
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:42.839
mother's little helper, that's me.
Drop the keys on the ground.
294
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:51.240
Okay, good Now over against the
wall. Both of you bushes should hide
295
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:56.279
your bodies very nicely. Move best
kids, and I started into the bushes
296
00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:00.000
with Dominic behind us. I pushed
back a large branch and then I doesn't
297
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:04.799
back over me. Dominate the slug
gets best guess I hack a Dominic' spress
298
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:07.839
and his gun goes flying me.
He sits around, unch adam, shove
299
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:12.039
hard, he goes back into the
wall. I'll take a little startch sh
300
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:15.680
out of you. Well, after
all, Dominis, you hit me up
301
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:19.559
against the stone wall through the deal, so I just returned the compliment the
302
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:38.359
hard way. Our star Brian don

with Bill Goodwin. Dave Garaway is

00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:25.359
and Jan r. Van. This
is John Storm speaking Dangerous Assignments, starring
321
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:29.519

Steve Mitchell will embark on another transcribed dangerous
325
00:25:42.000 --> 00:26:00.799
assignment tomorrow here both Father Knows Best
and Truther Consequences on NBC. Welcome back.
326
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:07.200
I love episodes where the complexity of
two people in separate crimes complicates the
327
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:11.279
case and leads to a lot of
great twist, and certainly this episode had
328
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:15.480
that. Also, mister Kron's pun
about a situation not spelling right as he
329
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:19.920
was a perfumer was near the top
of the list of horrible puns we get
330
00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:25.599
each week on this series, and
that really does take a lot of doing.
331
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:30.079
He not only kills with guns,
but also with puns. Hey that
332
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:34.160
right? All right? Well,
listener comments and feedback, and we've had
333
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:41.240
some comments about the compilation releases we've
been doing. Over on YouTube Harold Riots
334
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:47.160
helped me through the night shift,
and SRD twenty two says thanks for putting
335
00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:52.759
these compilations together, loving them,
and over on our Patreon page, Steve
336
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:56.000
Wrights loving these early episodes. Well, thank you so much. I appreciate
337
00:26:56.039 --> 00:27:00.559
your comments. Now, for those
who missed the episode where I commented on
338
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:08.759
that a few weeks back, we're
posting compilation videos containing in entire weeks worth
339
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:15.400
of programming from the earlier parts of
the podcast. We're starting all the way
340
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:19.920
back at the beginning with season one, but right now posting episodes from two
341
00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:26.039
thousand and nine, and we put
them on YouTube the premiere three pm Mountain
342
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:32.839
five pm Eastern Time on Tuesday.
I definitely am leaning towards continuing to them.
343
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:37.599
We've got some good feedback and we've
also picked up some new subscribers,
344
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:41.880
and I think it may be a
good way for our channel to grow.
345
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:45.759
I am going to look in the
future think a little bit more about the
346
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:51.079
time that we launched the premiere,
because under the current time we didn't get
347
00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:57.559
above ten people listening live at the
same time until we've been playing for about
348
00:27:57.599 --> 00:28:00.960
an hour. So there are some
things I'm going to tweak on that,
349
00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:06.160
but I appreciate all the positive feedback
we've gotten so far. Well, now
350
00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:08.880
it's time to thank our Patreon supporter

359
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:51.960

it easy. Flash the light into every
360
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.079
corner and don't turn you back on
that closet door. Mister, come in,
361
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:00.160
have a look at that? What, Dave? The body of the
362
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:04.079
steplanner. I don't get you.
This house is bad except for a step
363
00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:07.319
lander and a murdered man. Not
a stick of furniture, not a sign
364
00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:11.559
of life. I guess just as
he stepped off the ladder somebody plugged him.
365
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:14.519
No, Dave, he was shot
down from the ladder. You see
366
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:19.319
the flaw dust on discloseser it rolled
over, Dave? Look what I'm throwing
367
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:25.920
a light on the ceiling. Hey, looks like a handprint. I hope

is time for this week's episode of Dangerous
13
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:38.840
Assignment. The original aired eight January
twenty eighth, nineteen fifty three, and
14
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:57.200
the title is The Hunt for Karen. Dangerous Assignment timescribes Darring Brian don Leave
15
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:17.479
as Steve Mitchell. Yeah, danger
is my assignment. I get sent to
16
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:21.280
a lot of places I can't even
pronounce. They all spell the same thing,
17
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.280
though, trouble. But when I
walk into the Commissioner's off because I
18
00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:27.599
don't realize this assignment's going to prove
that sometimes the only way to catch the
19
00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:38.960
right guy is to chase the wrong
One morning, commissioners sent for me.
20
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:43.560
Se Ever, hear of a gent
named Karen. Karen Cherry ran a river
21
00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:46.159
taxi ferried the souls of the dead
across the river sticks. He was in
22
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.919
Greek mythology. This one's in Mexico
City. Come again, mister Karen,
23
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.319
he calls himself. He's a cold
blooded killer, Steve an assassin for hired
24
00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:58.159
and mixed up in half a dozen
international murders. There's given us nothing but
25
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:00.400
trouble during the past few years.
I want you to go to Mexico City
26
00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:05.599
to find a man named Tilippe Alvarado. He says he has all the information
27
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:07.960
we need to nail Karen. Alvarado
has been playing a game of hide and
28
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:12.280
seek with us. He wants to
make a cash deal before he does any
29
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:15.639
talking. For fifty thousand dollars,
he'll put the finger on mister Karaen.
30
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.000
So it's up to me to find
him and convince him. We don't do
31
00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:21.840
business that way. Real Sinch.
Get to Alvarado, get the evidence we
32
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:23.960
need to nail mister Karen. But
don't waste any time, mister Karen,
33
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:29.240
here's the deal. He'll be looking
for Alvarado too, Are you well?
34
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:46.800
That's it, Steve, You've got
your assignment. Good luck. The National

38
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:05.400
Mitchell on another dangerous assignment. One
of the most important functions of a radio
39
00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:10.639
network is the quick dissemination of news. When you listen to the NBC Radio
40
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:15.560

news reporters, analysts and commentators to bring

wherever it happens. And you can depend
42
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:25.120
upon NBC for full coverage of all
major news events at home and overseas.
43
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:29.439
NBC employees reporters in all of the
important news making cities of the world,
44
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:34.000
and via the worldwide facilities of major
news gathering agencies. NBC can give you

46
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:45.439

47
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.399
Here. I've get my assigned and
get down to Mexico City in persuade
48
00:04:56.399 --> 00:05:00.120
a gent named Felipe Alvarada hand over
the evidence we need to grab off an
49
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:04.040
international killer known as mister Karen.
It's early Friday evening when my plane sets
50
00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:08.360
down and one of our boys,
Jeff Sloan, meets me at the airport.
51
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:12.480
We hop into his car and drive
over to a quiet residential district on
52
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:16.120
the outskirts of town. There's a
house up ahead, Steve, left hand
53
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:21.480
side of the road. M some
layout. You sure he's the man we
54
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:25.879
want, Jeff, Yeah, he's
Philippe Alvarado. All right, when did
55
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.360
you get a leader on this place? Just an hour ago? The local
56
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:31.160
laws cooperating. They have men watching
the villa. That one of them up
57
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:35.000
ahead there under the trees. Yeah, let's check him. Hey, good
58
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:40.720
eating, Sergeant Ruise. This is
Steve Mitchell, Senor Mitchell. Hello,
59
00:05:40.839 --> 00:05:44.720
raise our man still inside. We've
been here only a few minutes, but
60
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.160
he has not left the house during
that time. But he has had visitors.
61
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.040
First was a woman. She entered
the house from fifteen minutes ago.
62
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:55.439
She's still inside. And the other
visitors one or a man. She went
63
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.360
in about five minutes after the young
lady. He was only inside the house
64
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:00.519
for a few minutes and then come
out again. You have anyone following him?
65
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:05.279
How about the servants? They leave
the house at the aeroclos a few
66
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:10.000
moments before the only lady arrived.
Okay, well here goes you two.
67
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:24.199
Wait here. I move across the
road, push open the heavy iron gates.
68
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.240
Hurry up the path to the front
door of the villa. And I
69
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:33.240
leaned on the bell. No answer. I'm about to ring again when I
70
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:38.639
notice the door is open, just
a crack. The center hall is dark,
71
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:42.800
and the house is quiet, too
quiet. At the foot of the
72
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:48.279
curved staircase is a door, a
thin sliver of light under it. Sitting
73
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.279
at a desk in a tall,
high backed chairs, a gentle in a
74
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:57.040
white suit. There's a surprised expression
on his face, frozen there. He
75
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:05.120
doesn't pat an eyelash, He can't
steve what is it? Looks like mister
76
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:09.759
Karen beat us to it. Jeff, what, holy smokes, it's Alvarado
77
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:14.839
dead all right, strangled, cord
wrapped around his back. And look at
78
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:17.920
the room a shambo. Somebody gave
this place a fast frisk, including Alvarado.
79
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.639
Look, his pocket's been turned inside
out. Walla's gone too. Yeah,
80
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:26.959
and probably whatever evidence he had on
mister Karen is going too. Come
81
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:30.600
on, let's have a look around. That lady visitor Luis mentioned must still
82
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.160
be Hey, wait a minute,
what is it? Steve thought I heard
83
00:07:33.160 --> 00:07:38.720
a noise sounded like it came from
Yeah, door to the next room is
84
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:44.759
partially open. Hey, oh great, Oh Steve, is she no,
85
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:51.319
she's coming around? Oh you okay? Miss? Oh my head, take
86
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:58.560
it easy now, oh my head. What I was just going to ask
87
00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:03.279
you that sitting there in the chair
by the terelephone, I heard someone come
88
00:08:03.319 --> 00:08:09.160
in. I started to get up
and turn around. Something struck me on
89
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:11.079
the side of the head. You
didn't see who it was. No,
90
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.360
it happened so quickly, Steve.
Look over there, and lunch windows are
91
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.000
often killer could have gotten out that
way. There's been a murder, miss,
92
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:24.279
Senor Alvarado. Alvarado, who is
he? You don't know? Should
93
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:26.560
I? Yeah? Sorry that he
happens to live here. Look, who
94
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.800
are you and what are you doing
here? Oh? I am Maria Montalba.
95
00:08:31.080 --> 00:08:35.320
I came to the house to use
the telephone to call the garage down
96
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.399
the road. You see my carriage
still not far away. The man of
97
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.879
the house led me in here and
then went into the next room. Oh,
98
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:46.759
Alvarado had a visitor shortly after you
arrived. Did you see him hear
99
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:50.559
anything? No? Nothing, not
even the door chimes. No, I
100
00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:54.759
do not recall the door might have
been unlocked, Steve. He could have
101
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.200
just walked in. Yeah, and
he also walked out that front door a
102
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.039
few minutes later, according to Sergeant
from the looks of things here, it
103
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:05.080
would see our killer made his escape
through this room after slugging Miss Montalba,
104
00:09:05.240 --> 00:09:09.840
then ducked out those French windows.
But Ruiz has a man in the garden.
105
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:13.559
Yeah, it could have happened before
Ruiz's man got there. Stay stay
106
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:18.000
here with a girl, Jeff.
I'll have a look. I run out
107
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:22.080
through the French windows, across the
flagstone patio and end of the garden.
108
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:24.960
I can hear Sergeant Ruise shouting to
his men close by. And then I
109
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.200
think if I spot someone moving along
the back garden wall. As I start
110
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.039
for it, a short, heavy
gent suddenly steps out in front of me
111
00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:37.399
and jams a gun into my ribs. Take it easy, busted quickly,
112
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:43.519
I said, do not move,
senor. Look, you'll never get out
113
00:09:43.559 --> 00:09:52.000
of here. The joint's crawling with
not one word signor or I pull the
114
00:09:52.039 --> 00:10:01.480
trigger. Why maybe one are on
the other side of the hall. You
115
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:05.480
did well not to So what happens
now? Do I get what you gave
116
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:09.600
that guy inside? I seen you. I did not kill him, although
117
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.799
I confessed that was my reason for
cunning here. I was too late.
118
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.600
He deserves to die. To stick
CONRADI you mean Alvarado. You may have
119
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.320
no name as Alvarado, but his
real name was CONRADI butcher of Barrio,
120
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:22.919
and many wished him dead. Now, Senior, move to the back gate.
121
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:26.639
If you're innocent, you're taking a
strange way of proving it leaving at
122
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:30.559
the point of a gun. Where
I come from. My reputation is a
123
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.879
good one. I don't I wish
to jeopardize it by such an occurrence as
124
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:37.679
this move. I said, I
move all right, but not in the
125
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.639
direction he's expecting. I throw myself
back. It knocks him off fast plug
126
00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:43.679
whistles past my ear and I die
for his gun hand, but my footslips.
127
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:46.200
I grab it his coat and his
pocket tears off in my hand as
128
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.720
I plow into a mass of shrubbery. By the time I untangle myself and
129
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.480
get to my feet, the little
genter is long gone. You make over
130
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:58.799
here always? Are you all right? Yeah? Except for a few scratches
131
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.759
and a bum ankle, As they
say in the movies, he went that
132
00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:11.080
away. Ruiz takes off after him. I spot an envelope on the ground
133
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:16.080
with the torn pocket. It's addressed
to a senior Vasquez in the South American
134
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.600
city. I went back to the
house, filling Jeff on what's happened and
135
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.120
what I want him to do.
Then I put in a call to police
136
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:24.440
headquarters. Ten minutes later, a
gray haired, wiry little gent named Captain
137
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.320
Astasio shows up, and I take
him into the room where the dead man
138
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:33.799
is. There's a great deal yet
I would recognize him anywhere. This is
139
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.519
Enrico Conradi, otherwise known as the
Butcher of Barrio. Who was he?
140
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.000
An evil man? Senor Mitchell,
a most evil man, one of the
141
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.799
most hated men of South America.
He was chief of detectives there many years
142
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.039
ago, and if I remember correctly, there were more than a dozen attempts
143
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.120
on his life during his administration.
With so many people after his skin,
144
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:54.399
he changed his name to Alvarado and
came here. Huh. You know,
145
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.799
Captain, this brings an interesting question
to mind. Was this man killed as
146
00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:03.600
Alvarado or as CONRADI you mean,
did he killer come here seeking only revenge
147
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:07.159
or was he after the evidence that
would identify mister Carol. If the motive
148
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.200
was revenge and only revenge, there's
a chance the evidence we want is still
149
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.600
around still look about you, Senor. The room was searched, That is
150
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:18.240
quite clear. Yeah, looks like
it was mister Karen who did the job.
151
00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:22.440
All right, this this evidence you
see exactly what is it? I
152
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.399
only wish I knew it could be
a photograph of mister Karen's and papers the
153
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:30.919
police file. Probably that would tie
in with Conraddi here since he was once
154
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:35.960
a cop. Oh, CAPTAINTAIA phone
call for you. Oh, thank you.
155
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:41.679
I will be right back, Senor
Mitchell. You take care of that
156
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:43.639
little job, Jeff. Yeah,
Steve, the man from the garage brought
157
00:12:43.679 --> 00:12:48.240
back Miss Montalba's car a few minutes
ago. Simple repair job, they said,
158
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:50.879
how simple? Loose wiring, They
said, it could have been done
159
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:54.080
on purpose. I see where's the
girl now? Police matrons with her.
160
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.720
Nothing turned up from the frisk.
What do you think, Steve, her
161
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:01.240
story could be true, Senor Mitchell? Yeah, Captain, I have just
162
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:05.759
received a report on the man who
visited this house earlier tonight, the man
163
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:07.559
seen by Sergeant Ruys. Yeah,
the guy who was only in the house
164
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:11.120
a few minutes. What about him? He was followed to the Hotel International.
165
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:16.279
His name is Dominic, Karl Dominic. Okay, let's pay him a
166
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:30.080
call. Fifteen minutes later, Captain
is Stashio and I walk into the lobby
167
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:33.159
of the Hotel International. The Captain
takes up a position near the elevators,
168
00:13:33.159 --> 00:13:35.720
and after I checked with the clerk
at the desk, I head up the
169
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.639
stairs. Then, just as I
reached the landing on the second floor,
170
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:41.120
I catch a movement out of the
corner of my eye. I ducked,
171
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:46.039
but not fast enough. A noose
settles around my neck. Then it jerks
172
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:48.080
a pipe. My claw at it, but it's no use. My head's
173
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:52.639
pulled back and I'm looking straight up
into the ceiling lighted timmer, timmer.
174
00:13:54.200 --> 00:14:11.440
Then it goes out. Steve Mitchell
will continue his dangerous assignment in just a
175
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:15.639
moment. If your child can run
and skip and jump, he's lucky.
176
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:18.039
Just think how you'd feel if he'd
been crippled. In last year's record infantile
177
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:22.120
paralysis epidemic, more than one hundred
eighty six thousand Americans, most of them
178
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.879
children, were stricken by infantile paralysis
in the last five years, and last
179
00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:31.879
year's polio epidemic was the worst on
record. Polio took away the power of
180
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:35.000
their hands and their fingers. Would
you like to save thirty million children from
181
00:14:35.039 --> 00:14:39.879
attack by infantile paralysis? Well,
it takes millions of dimes and dollars spent
182
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:45.919
in medical research before a protective vaccine
is discovered. Last year, the National
183
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:48.720
Foundation for Infantile Prolysis went out to
every man, woman, and child who
184
00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:54.039
needed help. And now your national
foundation is seven million dollars in debt.
185
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:58.440
Yes, the nineteen fifty two blow
of polio has got its fighters rocking on
186
00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:01.279
their financial heels. And remember,
you can't fight your child's enemy just by
187
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:05.559
wishing it takes giving your giving.
Take a walk, now, won't you?
188
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:11.080
So the polio stricken may walk later
join the nineteen fifty three March of
189
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:31.639
Dimes. Now back to Dangerous Assignment
and Brian don Levy as Steve Mitchell Mitchell.
190
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:35.080
Eh, oh, captainess. Yes, you fell apart way down the
191
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:37.240
stairs. I heard the noise and
got here just in time to loosen the
192
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:41.799
court. Thanks. Did do you
see anybody around when you ran up to
193
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:43.440
me? No? Now, the
haul in the stairway were quite empty.
194
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.840
You were on your way to Carl
Dominic's room at the time, Yeah,
195
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.559
could be. He gave me a
little reception in that case in your I
196
00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:56.720
suggest we return to visit at once. We go back up the stairs to
197
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.720
Carl Dominic's room. He turns out
to be a tall slender putting a gent
198
00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:06.559
in a dressing gown who keeps messaging
his fingernails with a buffer. Dominique.
199
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:10.159
Earlier this evening you visited a villa
on the edge of the city. Of
200
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:14.799
course, be love Sagnor Alvarado.
Why did you go there to discuss a
201
00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:19.600
small business? Dear? Oh my
card, mister Mitchell, Carl Dominic,
202
00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:26.120
fine perfumes you see, saguorl Verado
had expressed a desire to enter into business
203
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:30.600
of some sort. So it occurred
to me that he might like to take
204
00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:33.399
overl of the perfume track. I
see, and that was the matter you
205
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:38.679
discussed with him. No, after
all, Captain, the one cannot carry
206
00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:44.840
on a very intelligent discussion with the
dead man. I see. Your story
207
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:48.320
is that Alvarado was dead when you
arrived. Of course, quite a nasty
208
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:53.279
site. You left the house at
once, indeed the post haste, as
209
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:57.639
the expression is, and without reporting
the matter to the police. Slight error
210
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:02.159
of judgment, as I now realized, Why didn't you report it? Well?
211
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:04.200
As I told you, I am
in the perfume business, and this
212
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:10.400
affair, forgive me, did not
smell too good. I thought any publicity
213
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:14.759
involving me with it might be very
injurious to my professional connections. How did
214
00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:18.640
you get in the front door?
As you? Sure? She said she
215
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:22.119
didn't hear the bell? It rad
had told me of the telephone that the
216
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:25.359
servants were out. You said it
would need the door unlocked for me,
217
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:29.400
and it was I did not need
to ring the bell, I see,
218
00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.839
Senor, Are you expecting a visitor? Why? No, no, I
219
00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:37.279
will see who it is. Just
sit still, Daminic. I'll go,
220
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:42.880
but very well, oh well,
boy, see these were ordered for this
221
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:48.039
room, Senior. H okay,
I'll take it here, gustious gratias.
222
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:53.119
Oh here we have a tray,
a cocktail shaker, and three martinis.
223
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:59.359
Captain, very interesting. I thought
you weren't expecting visitors, Dominic, I
224
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:03.839
meant any more visitors, gentlemen.
You see I was expecting you, indeed
225
00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:10.319
is Indeed, as I was leaving
Elverado's villa, I saw a policeman following
226
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:12.960
me. I knew it would be
only a question of time before I received
227
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:18.000
a visit from the police. Got
all the angles figured, haven't you in
228
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:22.359
my own modest way, I suppose
you try an onion in your marchinie or
229
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.200
would you gotta have a stuff all
of us? Suppose you try a stuff,
230
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:37.400
dollive, we're leaving. Come on, Captain, A most perplexing case,
231
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:41.119
MITU. Yeah, this Dominic is
a cool cookie, pretty sure of
232
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:44.400
himself. He could have knocked off
Conrady and grabbed the evidence. But who
233
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:45.920
then hit the girl over the head
and left by the guard could be the
234
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:49.359
GENTI ran into in the garden,
Vescuarrez or else the girl was lying about
235
00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:52.440
getting hit. That, of course, is a possibility. Off here's another
236
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.160
thought. Maybe Dominic kill Conrady then
slug Marie and opened the garden minoe to
237
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:59.960
make it look like the killer left
that way. But it seems to me
238
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.640
if Dominic's the killer, he'd be
long gone by now, instead of pouring
239
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:08.119
Martiniz for us in this hotel room. Oh come in, Oh, Sergeant
240
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:12.559
Luise, you're mitching the menu encountered
in the garden outside Conradi's villain Rasquez.
241
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:15.000
What about him? The letter you
took from his pocket, He gave us
242
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.799
his home address in South America.
We investigated and have found he's a prominent
243
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:22.640
citizen of the same city where the
dead man Conradi used to be cheap of
244
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:25.799
police. Oh, from what we
could find out, apparently there was a
245
00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:30.119
scandal involved in Conratti and Basquez's wife. I see, Captain, it looks
246
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:33.400
like that sort of takes Fasquez off
the hook. Yes, his motive would
247
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:36.839
have been clearly revenge. Yet Conradi's
killer tore the room apart looking for evidence
248
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:38.960
on mister carrol I. Guess that
brings us back to the girl again.
249
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:42.279
But Mitchell, bear in mind that
at the time the killer made an attempt
250
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:45.319
on your life. With that news
of Domini's hotel, the girl was being
251
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.680
held here at policehead. Yeah,
but it is possible she's working with the
252
00:19:48.759 --> 00:19:52.279
killer. She may have gotten into
Conradi's villa with her story about a car
253
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.920
breakdown, so she could open the
window and let the killer in. Look,
254
00:19:56.240 --> 00:19:57.680
why don't you release her and let
me tailor? Right now, it
255
00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:07.640
looks like she's our only lead,
So we release Marie, I give her
256
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.000
a block lead start after her.
And it's a slim chance that the trail
257
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:15.759
of lead anywhere. But right now
I'm grabbing at anything which might possibly throw
258
00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:19.680
a little light on the deal.
And suddenly stop A little light. Yeah,
259
00:20:21.079 --> 00:20:23.079
a little light I was staring at
overhead when the noose was tightening around
260
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:26.440
my neck. The deal begins to
add up fast. I start walking again,
261
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:30.359
and all of a sudden, I've
got a feeling I'm being followed.
262
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.759
I spot a shadow in the doorway
across the street. I speed up,
263
00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:37.359
turn into an alley. Then I
stop and hug the side of the building
264
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:45.440
and I wait. Pretty soon I
hear someone easing closer than he turns into
265
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:48.000
the alley. I spot the gun
in his hand, gleaming in the moonlight.
266
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:52.680
I grabbed for it. Let me
have it go, Thank you.
267
00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:56.880
Yeah, just what I thought,
my little friend Vesquez from the garden.
268
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:00.640
It figured to be you. What
do you mean, Dominic's taller than I
269
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:03.559
am. You're the only short one
in the deal. A little guy from
270
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.240
behind me would have to pull down
on the news at forced my head back.
271
00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:11.599
And that's how come I was staring
up at the light overhead when I
272
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:15.319
blacked out, had not choicen you. I was afraid you would track me
273
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:17.920
down. I had to try and
put you out of the way, just
274
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:21.240
like you were trying to do.
Now you know, Besquez, what threw
275
00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:25.000
me off was the room being torn
apart. You did kill Conrady for revenge,
276
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:27.240
all right. Then tore the room
apart, not looking for evidence,
277
00:21:27.279 --> 00:21:30.960
but for a reason so obvious we
overlooked it. You wanted to make the
278
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:36.160
motive look like common ordinary robbery.
See, in the process, you remove
279
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:40.759
some evidence. I want evidence that
identifies an international killer known as mister Karen.
280
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:42.359
I took only a few papers and
some keys. What did you do
281
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:45.200
with them? Threw them in the
bushes outside the walls of Gnrady's villa.
282
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:51.079
Take me to them, all right, doesn't matter anymore anyway to me,
283
00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:57.079
it does. Believe me. Come, I will show you here as I
284
00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:03.319
remember. Oh are you there against
the world behind the large bushes. Yeah,
285
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:08.839
I see this stuff. I got
it, some papers and keys.
286
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:14.240
You know. This key looks like
one of a baggage locker five. Will
287
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:17.079
get your ten. That's where the
evidence is. Thank you very much for
288
00:22:17.160 --> 00:22:23.160
finding Dominate. Drop the gun,
Mitch alias mister Karen exactly. You went
289
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:26.960
to kill CONRADI, but found out
somebody else had done your dirty work for
290
00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:33.200
you for another reason. Yeah,
your friend Vasquez. I realized he must
291
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:36.200
have taken the evidence about me,
and that is why I've been following him.
292
00:22:37.079 --> 00:22:40.279
And now you have been kind enough
to find it for me. Yeah,
293
00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:42.839
mother's little helper, that's me.
Drop the keys on the ground.
294
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:51.240
Okay, good Now over against the
wall. Both of you bushes should hide
295
00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:56.279
your bodies very nicely. Move best
kids, and I started into the bushes
296
00:22:56.279 --> 00:23:00.000
with Dominic behind us. I pushed
back a large branch and then I doesn't
297
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:04.799
back over me. Dominate the slug
gets best guess I hack a Dominic' spress
298
00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:07.839
and his gun goes flying me.
He sits around, unch adam, shove
299
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:12.039
hard, he goes back into the
wall. I'll take a little startch sh
300
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:15.680
out of you. Well, after
all, Dominis, you hit me up
301
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:19.559
against the stone wall through the deal, so I just returned the compliment the
302
00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:38.359
hard way. Our star Brian don
Levy will return in just a moment daytime

Tony, Barrett, Eve McVeigh, Herbellus
320
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:25.359
and Jan r. Van. This
is John Storm speaking Dangerous Assignments, starring
321
00:25:25.440 --> 00:25:29.519

Steve Mitchell with Herb Butterfield as the commissioner.

Leavey is starring in the role of
Steve Mitchell will embark on another transcribed dangerous
325
00:25:42.000 --> 00:26:00.799
assignment tomorrow here both Father Knows Best
and Truther Consequences on NBC. Welcome back.
326
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:07.200
I love episodes where the complexity of
two people in separate crimes complicates the
327
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:11.279
case and leads to a lot of
great twist, and certainly this episode had
328
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:15.480
that. Also, mister Kron's pun
about a situation not spelling right as he
329
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:19.920
was a perfumer was near the top
of the list of horrible puns we get
330
00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:25.599
each week on this series, and
that really does take a lot of doing.
331
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:30.079
He not only kills with guns,
but also with puns. Hey that
332
00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:34.160
right? All right? Well,
listener comments and feedback, and we've had
333
00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:41.240
some comments about the compilation releases we've
been doing. Over on YouTube Harold Riots
334
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:47.160
helped me through the night shift,
and SRD twenty two says thanks for putting
335
00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:52.759
these compilations together, loving them,
and over on our Patreon page, Steve
336
00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:56.000
Wrights loving these early episodes. Well, thank you so much. I appreciate
337
00:26:56.039 --> 00:27:00.559
your comments. Now, for those
who missed the episode where I commented on
338
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:08.759
that a few weeks back, we're
posting compilation videos containing in entire weeks worth
339
00:27:08.920 --> 00:27:15.400
of programming from the earlier parts of
the podcast. We're starting all the way
340
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:19.920
back at the beginning with season one, but right now posting episodes from two
341
00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:26.039
thousand and nine, and we put
them on YouTube the premiere three pm Mountain
342
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:32.839
five pm Eastern Time on Tuesday.
I definitely am leaning towards continuing to them.
343
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:37.599
We've got some good feedback and we've
also picked up some new subscribers,
344
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:41.880
and I think it may be a
good way for our channel to grow.
345
00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:45.759
I am going to look in the
future think a little bit more about the
346
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:51.079
time that we launched the premiere,
because under the current time we didn't get
347
00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:57.559
above ten people listening live at the
same time until we've been playing for about
348
00:27:57.599 --> 00:28:00.960
an hour. So there are some
things I'm going to tweak on that,
349
00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:06.160
but I appreciate all the positive feedback
we've gotten so far. Well, now
350
00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:08.880
it's time to thank our Patreon supporter
of the day. I want to thank

here tomorrow for mister chameleon. Where now
359
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:51.960
into that room, Dave, take
it easy. Flash the light into every
360
00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:56.079
corner and don't turn you back on
that closet door. Mister, come in,
361
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:00.160
have a look at that? What, Dave? The body of the
362
00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:04.079
steplanner. I don't get you.
This house is bad except for a step
363
00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:07.319
lander and a murdered man. Not
a stick of furniture, not a sign
364
00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:11.559
of life. I guess just as
he stepped off the ladder somebody plugged him.
365
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:14.519
No, Dave, he was shot
down from the ladder. You see
366
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:19.319
the flaw dust on discloseser it rolled
over, Dave? Look what I'm throwing
367
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:25.920
a light on the ceiling. Hey, looks like a handprint. I hope
368
00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:29.559
