[1:00] Speaker 1: But now, from October 20th, 1949, here is the International Intrigue.
[1:09] Speaker 2: Pepsi-Cola, P-E-P-S-I, that's your smartest cola buy. Pepsi-Cola presents Counterspy.
[1:33] Speaker 2: Washington calling David Harding, Counterspy.
[1:37] Speaker 3: Washington calling David Harding, Counterspy. Harding, Counterspy, calling Washington.
[1:44] Speaker 4: United States Counterspies.
[1:52] Speaker 3: Especially appointed to investigate and combat.
[1:55] Speaker 5: The enemies of our country, both at home and abroad.
[2:04] Speaker 2: Tonight, the case of the international intrigue. Another counter-spy report
[2:09] Speaker 2: to the American people. Brought to you each Tuesday and
[2:12] Speaker 2: Thursday by Pepsi-Cola.
[2:14] Speaker 3: Pepsi-Cola hits the spot.
[2:16] Speaker 2: Two full glasses, that's a lot. Lots more value, lots
[2:20] Speaker 2: more zest. Why take less when Pepsi's best?
[2:22] Speaker 3: And now it's proved. Pepsi's best.
[2:26] Speaker 2: Because Pepsi and only Pepsi gives you more bounce to
[2:30] Speaker 2: the ounce. More real value and quick food energy ounce
[2:34] Speaker 2: for ounce than any other leading cola drink. No other
[2:38] Speaker 2: leading cola can say that. Proven highest quality and homogenized
[2:43] Speaker 2: for finer, smoother flavor. More bounce to the ounce. That's Pepsi.
[2:49] Speaker 2: Listen later in this program for a sensational special offer. Meanwhile, remember,
[2:53] Speaker 2: get more bounce to the ounce. Get delicious ice cold Pepsi-Cola.
[3:00] Speaker 2: And now, to Counterspy.
[3:10] Speaker 3: Early one evening, in the glass and steel railroad terminal
[3:13] Speaker 3: in the lovely Swiss city of Lucerne, a train chugged
[3:16] Speaker 3: busily to a stop at the platform. Among the crowd
[3:21] Speaker 3: waiting at the platform was a tall, swarthy man in
[3:24] Speaker 3: a dark gray chauffeur's uniform. Half hidden behind the post,
[3:28] Speaker 3: his eyes scanned the faces of the disembarking passengers. As
[3:32] Speaker 3: a dignified gray-haired man stepped from the train, the chauffeur
[3:36] Speaker 3: smoothed down his uniform and approached the gray-haired man deferentially.
[3:40] Speaker 6: Dr. Brewster, the American scientist?
[3:42] Speaker 2: Yes.
[3:43] Speaker 6: The car you ordered is over here, sir. Just a
[3:45] Speaker 6: few steps. Good, good. Tell me, this cottage up the
[3:49] Speaker 6: valley I'm going to, is it quiet, secluded, well-hidden? Oh, yes, Dr. Brewster.
[3:55] Speaker 6: Once you are there, you will believe yourself to be
[3:58] Speaker 6: in another world. Driver, you're slowing down. Are we near
[4:12] Speaker 6: the cottage already? No, Dr.
[4:13] Speaker 2: Brewster.
[4:14] Speaker 5: But the young lady up ahead on the road seems
[4:15] Speaker 5: to be having difficulty with her car. I thought I
[4:17] Speaker 5: might see if I could help her.
[4:20] Speaker 6: Old world courtesy, of course. Of course. Mademoiselle, can I
[4:28] Speaker 6: be of some assistance?
[4:29] Speaker 4: For starters, something seems to be wrong.
[4:32] Speaker 6: Allow me.
[4:35] Speaker 5: Everything is going well, Carol. Have you contacted the agents
[4:39] Speaker 5: of the nations that might be interested?
[4:41] Speaker 1: Yes, Valère.
[4:42] Speaker 4: They are eager to see you, particularly that young one,
[4:44] Speaker 4: Victor Modesto.
[4:45] Speaker 6: I'll be ready to talk to them in 48 hours. Dr.
[4:48] Speaker 6: Bruce and I should have reached an understanding by then.
[4:51] Speaker 4: Very well.
[4:51] Speaker 6: 48 hours. There you are, mademoiselle. It was just a
[4:55] Speaker 6: loose bolt.
[4:56] Speaker 4: Thank you.
[4:56] Speaker 6: I fixed it now so that nothing can go wrong. Karen,
[5:11] Speaker 6: as many times as I've been here, I never cease
[5:13] Speaker 6: being amazed.
[5:14] Speaker 4: Really, Victor?
[5:16] Speaker 6: To think that this chateau, the most impressive in all
[5:18] Speaker 6: of CERN, in all Switzerland, belongs to such a scoundrel
[5:22] Speaker 6: as Belair.
[5:22] Speaker 4: If you feel that way, why do business with him?
[5:25] Speaker 6: Unfortunately, my profession compels me to deal with swine.
[5:29] Speaker 4: Such as I?
[5:32] Speaker 6: You are the exception, Karen.
[5:35] Speaker 4: Not be too sure, Victor. Shall we go in?
[5:42] Speaker 6: Tell me, what is it Belair has to sell this time?
[5:45] Speaker 4: I act only as his messenger. He does not share
[5:48] Speaker 4: his secrets with me.
[5:50] Speaker 6: What does he share?
[5:51] Speaker 4: His leisure hours.
[5:53] Speaker 6: Sounds delightful, Karen.
[5:56] Speaker 4: That depends.
[6:00] Speaker 6: Ah, Karen, you've brought it.
[6:02] Speaker 4: Yes, Belair.
[6:02] Speaker 6: Hello, Belair. So formal, Victor. We know each other better
[6:06] Speaker 6: than that. I'm afraid we do. Um, Karen. Yes, Bernard?
[6:10] Speaker 5: They are performing a particularly fine ballet at the opera
[6:13] Speaker 5: house tonight. I thought we might go there and follow
[6:16] Speaker 5: it with a late supper and a little gambling at
[6:17] Speaker 5: the casino.
[6:19] Speaker 6: As you wish.
[6:20] Speaker 5: Then, um, hadn't you better return to your hotel so
[6:24] Speaker 5: you can change and perform whatever mysterious rites you must
[6:27] Speaker 5: to keep yourself so attractive?
[6:29] Speaker 6: Oh, of course. Goodbye, Mr. Modesto. I may see you
[6:34] Speaker 6: at the casino later, Karen. Come, Victor, my study. It
[6:39] Speaker 6: is the only place in this chateau I permit business
[6:41] Speaker 6: to be transacted.
[6:44] Speaker 2: A moment.
[6:45] Speaker 6: I close the doors. Drink, Victor? Brandy?
[6:52] Speaker 5: Aquavit?
[6:53] Speaker 6: Vodka?
[6:54] Speaker 5: Or did you pick up a taste for scotch during
[6:57] Speaker 5: your years as diplomatic attaché in the United States?
[7:01] Speaker 6: I never drink well on duty, Belair. You're something to sell.
[7:05] Speaker 6: What is it? Ha, ha, ha.
[7:08] Speaker 5: That is why I'm so fond of you, Victor. So
[7:10] Speaker 5: correct and so direct. Why did such a prim young
[7:16] Speaker 5: man as you ever enter his country's espionage service?
[7:19] Speaker 6: For a reason you would not understand, Belair.
[7:22] Speaker 2: Patriotism.
[7:24] Speaker 6: I not understand patriotism. Don't be ridiculous, Victor.
[7:27] Speaker 5: I make my living from selling secrets to patriots so
[7:30] Speaker 5: that they may kill other patriots.
[7:32] Speaker 6: It is a matter of honor I prefer not to
[7:34] Speaker 6: discuss with one such as you. Oh, so righteous. Get
[7:38] Speaker 6: to the point, Blair.
[7:40] Speaker 5: Not only do you speak English like an American, but
[7:42] Speaker 5: you do business the same way with the same directness.
[7:45] Speaker 6: Very well.
[7:48] Speaker 5: I offer you a most valuable article. In fact, to
[7:52] Speaker 5: your country, to any country, it is priceless.
[7:55] Speaker 6: Be more specific. I will, when we have talked price.
[8:00] Speaker 4: Oh?
[8:01] Speaker 6: What did you figure? One million dollars, American. That is
[8:06] Speaker 6: the starting price for this knowledge. Starting price? What does
[8:10] Speaker 6: that mean?
[8:11] Speaker 5: There are other nations besides yours who could use this information,
[8:14] Speaker 5: and I'm not particular.
[8:16] Speaker 6: You are making this offer to others, too.
[8:18] Speaker 5: You are the fourth representative of as many nations that
[8:21] Speaker 5: I have talked to.
[8:22] Speaker 6: Have you no sense of honor, Belair? I have a
[8:26] Speaker 6: good sense of business.
[8:28] Speaker 5: Four possible buyers mean a better price than just one
[8:30] Speaker 5: possible buyer would.
[8:32] Speaker 6: And that is the lowest price you will consider? Yes,
[8:36] Speaker 6: but I'm sure there will be higher ones.
[8:38] Speaker 5: So return to the aged diplomats at your embassy. Let
[8:42] Speaker 5: their watery blood run thicker at the thought of what
[8:45] Speaker 5: I offer. The secret of American know-how in the field
[8:49] Speaker 5: of modern miracles.
[8:51] Speaker 6: This information, Belair, is it on film?
[8:56] Speaker 3: On paper?
[8:57] Speaker 6: What is it?
[8:58] Speaker 5: It is imprinted on a human mind. You see, I'm
[9:02] Speaker 5: selling not secrets and papers, but a human being. A man.
[9:08] Speaker 5: The most experienced atomic scientist in the United States.
[9:18] Speaker 1: Clear Channel 12.
[9:23] Speaker 6: Clear Channel 12. Channel 12 clear.
[9:26] Speaker 1: Use.
[9:27] Speaker 6: Counter spy headquarters, Washington. Flaherty, chief of communications speaking. Code
[9:33] Speaker 6: 7-2 revised. Code 7-2 revised.
[9:36] Speaker 2: Are you ready, code division?
[9:38] Speaker 6: Go ahead, Flaherty.
[9:39] Speaker 2: Go ahead, Q-8.
[9:44] Speaker 5: To David Harding, chief of counter spies from Archer codes division.
[9:47] Speaker 3: Here follows decoded message from Switzerland, Q-8.
[9:51] Speaker 5: Man named Belair, leading espionage operator living in Switzerland, claims
[9:55] Speaker 5: to hold American scientists informed all phases of American atomic progress.
[9:59] Speaker 6: Belair acting as agent for scientists to sell his.
[10:01] Speaker 5: Services and knowledge to highest bidder among spy services here.
[10:05] Speaker 3: End of message. Thank you, Archer.
[10:08] Speaker 6: Dave, that message means big trouble.
[10:10] Speaker 3: Maybe, Peter.
[10:11] Speaker 2: Maybe.
[10:11] Speaker 6: With someone selling us out on our atomic secrets? If
[10:14] Speaker 6: they fell into the wrong hands.
[10:15] Speaker 3: As long as they're a secret, anyone's hands are the
[10:17] Speaker 3: wrong hands.
[10:19] Speaker 6: Who could that scientist be?
[10:20] Speaker 3: I have no idea. But I think this is important
[10:22] Speaker 3: enough for you and me to move to the actual
[10:24] Speaker 3: point of operation.
[10:25] Speaker 6: Switzerland?
[10:26] Speaker 3: Call the airfield, Peters, and have our C-54 made ready
[10:29] Speaker 3: for transatlantic flight. And take care of all the necessary
[10:31] Speaker 3: clearance routine.
[10:32] Speaker 6: Right, Ted.
[10:33] Speaker 3: Not so fast, Peters.
[10:34] Speaker 6: All right.
[10:36] Speaker 3: We'll be operating in alien territory without our usual facilities.
[10:39] Speaker 3: You better have one of our portable laboratories transferred.
[10:41] Speaker 6: To the plane.
[10:42] Speaker 3: Flying lab.
[10:43] Speaker 6: Good idea.
[10:43] Speaker 3: Now you can put on speed, Peter.
[10:45] Speaker 2: Right. I'll call you as soon as everything's set.
[10:47] Speaker 3: If I'm not here, try the communication room. I want
[10:49] Speaker 3: to get right to the business of ferreting out the
[10:51] Speaker 3: identity of that scientist in Switzerland.
[11:06] Speaker 6: Good evening, Karen.
[11:07] Speaker 4: Ah, Belair.
[11:09] Speaker 5: I've known you only four months, my dear, but you.
[11:11] Speaker 6: Continually amaze me.
[11:13] Speaker 1: Good.
[11:14] Speaker 6: You grow lovelier each.
[11:15] Speaker 5: Day and make me wonder more about your life before
[11:18] Speaker 5: we met.
[11:19] Speaker 4: Belair, did you finish your business with Victor this afternoon?
[11:23] Speaker 3: Yes.
[11:23] Speaker 6: He made an attractive offer.
[11:25] Speaker 5: How does fortune favor you at the gambling tables tonight?
[11:28] Speaker 4: She smiles pleasingly since I have adopted this charming gentleman
[11:32] Speaker 4: as a lucky piece. Oh? Well, let me present Monsieur Fulda.
[11:37] Speaker 2: Fulda?
[11:38] Speaker 6: I've heard that name, monsieur. And I the name of Belair.
[11:42] Speaker 5: It's not strange, since we are in allied fields. But
[11:45] Speaker 5: it is strange we have never met before. I have
[11:47] Speaker 5: dealt with representatives of your government.
[11:49] Speaker 6: Yes, they submit very flattering reports on you.
[11:52] Speaker 4: Gentlemen, gentlemen, am I to be completely ignored?
[11:56] Speaker 6: Karen, I am sorry.
[11:58] Speaker 5: But it is not every evening one meets such a
[12:00] Speaker 5: notable foreign agent as Monsieur Poulter.
[12:02] Speaker 6: I return the compliment, Belair.
[12:03] Speaker 2: Um.
[12:06] Speaker 6: You will be here in Lucerne for some time pulled up?
[12:09] Speaker 6: Quite some time. Lisbon, where I've been until now, is
[12:11] Speaker 6: not quite the beehive of information it once was. Now,
[12:15] Speaker 6: you may find Lucerne has taken its place.
[12:17] Speaker 4: Gentlemen, this was to be an evening of pleasure.
[12:21] Speaker 6: I am sorry, my dear. I apologize too, sir.
[12:25] Speaker 5: However, if Belair has something of interest to me, perhaps
[12:27] Speaker 5: we can arrange an appointment.
[12:29] Speaker 6: I was just going to suggest that. You will bring
[12:32] Speaker 6: your credentials? Naturally.
[12:33] Speaker 5: Then come to my chateau tomorrow at four. Where is
[12:36] Speaker 5: your chateau, Belair? I will send Karen for you.
[12:40] Speaker 6: Ah, my good fortune continues.
[12:41] Speaker 4: And I have stopped with all this talk. Can we
[12:44] Speaker 4: return to the table?
[12:46] Speaker 6: With pleasure, my dear.
[12:47] Speaker 5: Some success at gambling might well be a forecast of
[12:50] Speaker 5: larger stakes yet to be won.
[13:02] Speaker 3: Long time, Peters.
[13:03] Speaker 2: Pretty good, Dave. The weather holds we should be in
[13:06] Speaker 2: Lucerne by early evening.
[13:08] Speaker 3: Conway and Washington to C-54H. Conway to C-54H. Washington calling, Walt. Yeah,
[13:16] Speaker 3: I'll take it. C-54H to Washington, receiving clear. Go ahead, Conway.
[13:20] Speaker 3: We've checked passport records, Mr.
[13:22] Speaker 6: Harding.
[13:23] Speaker 3: Five atomic scientists have European travel permits. What countries are
[13:27] Speaker 3: they in now? Sweden, France, Switzerland, and Italy. I've wired
[13:33] Speaker 3: the counter-spy attachés in the various cities to verify their presence.
[13:38] Speaker 6: Good.
[13:38] Speaker 3: Radio photo was complete identification on the men involved.
[13:42] Speaker 6: That's all.
[13:43] Speaker 3: Peter, let's see if we can raise Agent Q8 in
[13:46] Speaker 3: Switzerland on the code transmitter, so our arrival won't be
[13:49] Speaker 3: too unexpected. We may get more news of the man Belair.
[14:02] Speaker 6: You find my chateau attractive, Mr. Fulda? Very much so, Mr.
[14:05] Speaker 3: Belair. But to business.
[14:08] Speaker 5: These offers you've had from other nations, what is the highest?
[14:12] Speaker 5: Two and a half million, Fulda.
[14:14] Speaker 6: But I want more.
[14:15] Speaker 5: Shall we say $ 250, 000 more? Fulda, let's not quibble over
[14:20] Speaker 5: a quarter of a million dollars. There's only the money
[14:23] Speaker 5: of the taxpayers of your nation. Let's say around some.
[14:26] Speaker 5: Three million dollars. Of course, I would first have to
[14:30] Speaker 5: know who the atomic scientist is and have material proof
[14:33] Speaker 5: that you can deliver him.
[14:34] Speaker 6: Naturally. And if he is not as important as you say,
[14:37] Speaker 6: I withdraw the offer. The gentleman of whom I speak
[14:43] Speaker 6: is Dr. Simon Brewster. Brewster?
[14:47] Speaker 5: In some respects, the foremost atomic research physicist in all America.
[14:52] Speaker 6: It's incredible. It's unbelievable. Why should Dr. Brewster betray his country?
[14:56] Speaker 6: Men betray only institutions that have been unjust to them. Dr.
[14:59] Speaker 5: Brewster feels the injustice of the rewards he received from
[15:02] Speaker 5: the United States.
[15:03] Speaker 6: I'll have you material proof I can submit to my government.
[15:06] Speaker 6: You shall see him this evening. From a distance. He
[15:10] Speaker 6: does not wish to be bothered until the transaction is complete.
[15:12] Speaker 6: My eyes could be deceived. You shall have his fingerprints.
[15:17] Speaker 6: They could be obtained fraudulently in many ways. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
[15:22] Speaker 6: I'm so glad I'm not dealing with a fool.
[15:25] Speaker 5: The final identification will be a plaster cast of his teeth.
[15:29] Speaker 6: You can compare that with a dental chart. Where would
[15:32] Speaker 6: I get such a chart? Surely your agents in America
[15:35] Speaker 6: could obtain it. That would take time, Belair. I'm in
[15:37] Speaker 6: no hurry. Neither is the Dr. Brewster. He withdrew from
[15:41] Speaker 6: the atomic project a few months ago. He's enjoying his rest.
[15:45] Speaker 6: What about that glimpse of him you promised me? He's
[15:48] Speaker 6: at a cottage in the mountains. You can leave immediately. Good.
[15:54] Speaker 6: Hold on.
[15:56] Speaker 5: I'm afraid I must be melodramatic and ask you to
[15:58] Speaker 5: submit to a blindfold as we approach the car.
[16:01] Speaker 6: I understand. All right. Monsieur Belaire. Ah, Victor. Back into
[16:10] Speaker 6: that room. Was this a polite way to come calling
[16:12] Speaker 6: at my chateau? With a gun in your hands? You too, monsieur. Certainly.
[16:16] Speaker 4: Thank you.
[16:21] Speaker 6: Victor, you will give my guest a bad impression of
[16:23] Speaker 6: my friends. Belair, I want to know the name of
[16:26] Speaker 6: the scientist we talk about. The price you offered was
[16:29] Speaker 6: not high enough, this gentleman's watch. You take my price
[16:31] Speaker 6: for my bullet. I do not bargain for my country's welfare. Now,
[16:35] Speaker 6: how can one do business on such a basis? You
[16:37] Speaker 6: see what I must put up with, Fulda? A gun
[16:39] Speaker 6: can be very persuasive, Belair. But such evidence of bad faith.
[16:45] Speaker 5: Victor, I think you better drop your gun, or Karen
[16:49] Speaker 5: will shoot you in the back.
[16:51] Speaker 6: Through the door from the garden behind you. That trick
[16:55] Speaker 6: would not fool a child.
[16:56] Speaker 4: It is not a trick, Victor, and you are not
[16:58] Speaker 4: a child.
[16:58] Speaker 6: Put her up there.
[17:04] Speaker 5: You see, Fulda, these patriotic fools, always violence.
[17:09] Speaker 6: I say something else, too.
[17:11] Speaker 5: Mademoiselle Karen is much more than decorative.
[17:15] Speaker 6: Much more. Shall we go?
[17:19] Speaker 4: What about Victor?
[17:20] Speaker 5: When he regains consciousness, Karen, slap him on the wrist
[17:23] Speaker 5: and send him on his way. He will undoubtedly kill
[17:25] Speaker 5: himself for failing in his duty to his country.
[17:28] Speaker 6: Unless he has more sense than I give him credit for.
[17:31] Speaker 6: Once again, Fulda. Shall we go?
[17:44] Speaker 2: Listen to an amazing special offer. Think of it. A
[17:46] Speaker 2: genuine super speed candid style snapshot camera that takes wonderful
[17:51] Speaker 2: clear sharp pictures for only 50 cents and one bottle
[17:55] Speaker 2: top from Pepsi-Cola. Did you ever hear anything so amazing?
[17:58] Speaker 2: Here's what a high quality camera it is. Genuine plano
[18:01] Speaker 2: convex double element lens. Beautiful black plastic case. Take 16 pictures,
[18:06] Speaker 2: not just 8, on every reel of film. Standard size
[18:09] Speaker 2: film that you can get at your nearby camera store.
[18:12] Speaker 2: Pictures are 1 1⁄4 inches by 1 5⁄8 inches. So
[18:16] Speaker 2: clear you can have them enlarged. Instant eye-level viewfinder. Instantaneous
[18:20] Speaker 2: 1 25th of a second speed shutter. Needs no adjustment.
[18:24] Speaker 2: Just the thing to take to the beach with a
[18:26] Speaker 2: carton of Pepsi-Cola. In fact, this is such a wonderful camera,
[18:30] Speaker 2: it's guaranteed for one year against mechanical defects. The same
[18:33] Speaker 2: type of camera David Harding uses to catch criminals. Now,
[18:37] Speaker 2: here's all you do. Send only 50 cents in coin
[18:41] Speaker 2: with your name and address. And only one Pepsi-Cola bottle
[18:45] Speaker 2: top to... Now, please print your name and address clearly.
[18:53] Speaker 2: And be sure to enclose 50 cents. Your camera will
[18:56] Speaker 2: be sent to you post-paid, but don't delay. This offer
[18:59] Speaker 2: will not last. Send for your camera now, tonight. I'll
[19:03] Speaker 2: repeat that address later. And now, back to Counterspy.
[19:15] Speaker 3: On a small side street in Lucerne, Switzerland, Counterspy Harry
[19:19] Speaker 3: Peters stops at the doorway of a watchmaker's shop. He
[19:23] Speaker 3: looks at the window display briefly, glances up and down
[19:26] Speaker 3: the street, and then, certain that no one has followed him,
[19:29] Speaker 3: he enters the shop.
[19:37] Speaker 6: Quite a collection of clocks you've got here.
[19:40] Speaker 5: I only wish they were mine. The shopkeeper has stepped
[19:43] Speaker 5: out for a moment.
[19:45] Speaker 6: Oh? Okay, Peters, it's safe to talk.
[19:47] Speaker 3: You sure?
[19:48] Speaker 6: Mr.
[19:49] Speaker 2: Fulda?
[19:50] Speaker 6: Positive, and skip the Fulda. Okay, Mallory. Well, you do
[19:53] Speaker 6: that accent wonderfully.
[19:55] Speaker 3: Practice.
[19:56] Speaker 6: The chief's in Switzerland? Yes.
[19:57] Speaker 3: He's staying undercover, living in the plane out at the airport.
[20:00] Speaker 5: That's a good idea. This town's a hotbed of spies.
[20:02] Speaker 5: Someone be sure to recognize him. That's why he wants
[20:04] Speaker 5: fast action on this case, Mallory.
[20:06] Speaker 3: He's got it.
[20:07] Speaker 6: Valera's got hold of something really big.
[20:09] Speaker 3: He told you?
[20:09] Speaker 5: Yes, believing me to be the real Fulda. I know
[20:12] Speaker 5: it's risky, but I'd like to report to Mr.
[20:13] Speaker 6: Harding direct. That big? Yep. Okay, Mallory. You leave this
[20:19] Speaker 6: shop first.
[20:20] Speaker 3: I'll cover you.
[20:21] Speaker 6: If you're clear, I'll give you a high sign and
[20:23] Speaker 6: head for the plane. You can meet us there. Hello, Mallory.
[20:55] Speaker 6: Come on on the plane.
[20:56] Speaker 4: Mr.
[20:56] Speaker 2: Harding's waiting.
[20:57] Speaker 6: Mr. Harding?
[21:00] Speaker 4: Yes?
[21:01] Speaker 3: Oh, hello, Mallory.
[21:03] Speaker 2: Good to see you.
[21:03] Speaker 6: Hello, Mr.
[21:03] Speaker 2: Harding.
[21:04] Speaker 3: Peter says you're getting action.
[21:05] Speaker 6: Too much.
[21:06] Speaker 3: You mean Belair's suspicion?
[21:07] Speaker 6: On the contrary. Posing as Fulda, I've made a deal
[21:10] Speaker 6: for the scientist involved. Three million dollars. Who is he? Dr.
[21:13] Speaker 6: Simon Brewster. Brewster? You're kidding. I've seen him.
[21:18] Speaker 3: You talked to him?
[21:18] Speaker 6: No.
[21:19] Speaker 5: Belair only let me see him from a distance. He's
[21:21] Speaker 5: hiding in a cottage in the mountains. I was blindfolded
[21:23] Speaker 5: and taken there.
[21:24] Speaker 6: Brewster, a traitor. I can't believe it.
[21:27] Speaker 3: You saw him from a little distance there, Mallory. It
[21:29] Speaker 3: could have been an imposter.
[21:30] Speaker 6: It must have been.
[21:30] Speaker 3: I doubt it.
[21:32] Speaker 6: Here are his fingerprints. I made Belair get them on
[21:34] Speaker 6: this sheet of paper I gave him.
[21:36] Speaker 3: And one thing more.
[21:37] Speaker 5: This dental cast to check against Brewster's chart. My agents
[21:41] Speaker 5: are supposed to obtain it from America.
[21:42] Speaker 3: Yes, we've got it. A radio photo. Peter, check this
[21:44] Speaker 3: right away in the laboratory compartment of the plane.
[21:52] Speaker 6: Well, Peter?
[21:53] Speaker 3: No doubt about it, Dave.
[21:54] Speaker 6: The prints and the dental chart check exactly. Then it
[21:56] Speaker 6: is Brewster. What do we do now?
[22:00] Speaker 3: Well, there's one point in our favor. Brewster's been off
[22:02] Speaker 3: the project for quite a while now, and a lot
[22:04] Speaker 3: of new progress has been made. But still, I'd rather
[22:07] Speaker 3: gamble $ 3 million than the atomic information.
[22:10] Speaker 6: Brewster does have. I might be able to locate that cottage, Mr.
[22:13] Speaker 2: Hunter.
[22:13] Speaker 4: No.
[22:14] Speaker 3: No, Mallory, that's too much of a chance to take. No, instead,
[22:18] Speaker 3: contact Belair again tomorrow. Make final arrangements to complete the deed.
[22:21] Speaker 3: I'll see that the money's transmitted to you from our
[22:23] Speaker 3: export bank. Dave, why don't we at least try to
[22:25] Speaker 3: find that cottage? No, no, we'll cover Mallory on the money.
[22:28] Speaker 3: I want him to get Brewster actually into his possession.
[22:31] Speaker 3: If there's a slip-up, I'd rather lose the money than
[22:34] Speaker 3: the man.
[22:34] Speaker 6: Okay, Mr.
[22:35] Speaker 5: Harding, I'll take the money to Belair and his chateau
[22:37] Speaker 5: right away. Well, Belair, my part of the bargain satisfactory?
[22:48] Speaker 6: Perfectly, Fuller.
[22:50] Speaker 5: I have not realized how big a package the money
[22:52] Speaker 5: would make, even in large denominations.
[22:55] Speaker 6: And now, Dr. Brewster. Of course. I have him rightfully. Come.
[23:11] Speaker 6: This is Dr. Brewster. You do?
[23:19] Speaker 3: Shall we go, Dr.
[23:20] Speaker 6: Brewster? Yes. A drink, first gentleman. To celebrate a most
[23:27] Speaker 6: profitable transaction for all. Uh, not that. I insist. Very well.
[23:32] Speaker 6: To your health, Fulda. Thank you. And yours too, Dr. Brewster.
[23:39] Speaker 6: Thank you. Um... Hold on. Yes?
[23:47] Speaker 5: I am Dr. Brewster's banker. If any attempt should be
[23:51] Speaker 5: made to regain this money, part his, part mine, he
[23:55] Speaker 5: will lose his power of speech as far as atomic
[23:59] Speaker 5: information is concerned.
[24:02] Speaker 6: Correct, Dr. Brewster?
[24:05] Speaker 2: Yes.
[24:08] Speaker 3: Come along, Dr.
[24:09] Speaker 6: Brewster. I want to get you into jurisdiction of my
[24:11] Speaker 6: government as soon as possible. Goodbye, Billet. Goodbye, fool, though. Karen! Karen,
[24:22] Speaker 6: are you upstairs?
[24:23] Speaker 4: Yes, Billet.
[24:23] Speaker 6: Then pack up quickly. You must move fast. We're going
[24:26] Speaker 6: to take a vacation. A very long one. Worth three
[24:31] Speaker 6: million dollars. Sit down, Dr. Brewster. I... I don't understand, Mr. Fool.
[24:43] Speaker 6: The plane isn't even warming up. There's someone I want
[24:46] Speaker 6: you to meet.
[24:47] Speaker 2: All right, Chief.
[24:50] Speaker 6: Hello, Dr.
[24:51] Speaker 3: Brewster.
[24:52] Speaker 6: Hello.
[24:54] Speaker 3: Don't tell me you've forgotten me.
[24:56] Speaker 6: Why, no, you're... What's the matter? Hold him, Mallory. What's
[25:08] Speaker 6: the Sam Hill?
[25:09] Speaker 3: His pulse, Mallory.
[25:10] Speaker 6: Feel it. Right now. He's dead.
[25:13] Speaker 3: What's the matter, Dave?
[25:14] Speaker 6: I've heard a scuffle. Brewster's dead of a heart seizure. Brewster?
[25:17] Speaker 3: I wouldn't bet on that.
[25:18] Speaker 2: What?
[25:19] Speaker 3: This man is not Dr. Simon Brewster. Look at him closely.
[25:22] Speaker 3: The features are generally the same, but here. Along the
[25:24] Speaker 3: chin and the side of the nose. Faint scar tissue.
[25:27] Speaker 6: See?
[25:28] Speaker 3: Plastic surgery. An imposter, as we thought.
[25:31] Speaker 6: The fingerprints, the dental chart. You checked them. They were Brewster's.
[25:34] Speaker 6: What's happened to him? I'm afraid of the answer to
[25:36] Speaker 6: that question. We can get it out of Belair.
[25:37] Speaker 3: I think you're right, Peters. It's time we came out
[25:39] Speaker 3: in the open. Mallory, you'll come with me to Belair Chateau.
[25:42] Speaker 1: Peters?
[25:42] Speaker 6: Yes?
[25:43] Speaker 3: We'll take the pilot and the co-pilot along for additional support.
[25:46] Speaker 3: You'll cover us from outside. Let's get going. Oh, Fulda.
[26:01] Speaker 2: Yes, sir. Where's Belair?
[26:02] Speaker 6: Why, I do not... All right, gentlemen, and his companion, too.
[26:05] Speaker 4: Come in, gentlemen.
[26:08] Speaker 6: Why the gun, Belair?
[26:09] Speaker 5: You seem angry, Fulda, and you bring strangers to my house.
[26:12] Speaker 5: I think it advisable to have a gun. Very discreet,
[26:14] Speaker 5: particularly since I came to take back the money I
[26:17] Speaker 5: paid you.
[26:17] Speaker 6: With this other gentleman to assist you? Yes.
[26:19] Speaker 2: Why?
[26:20] Speaker 6: Dr. Simon Brewster is dead.
[26:23] Speaker 5: How unfortunate. But, Fulda, I kept my part of the
[26:27] Speaker 5: bargain I delivered him to you.
[26:28] Speaker 6: I want that money, Belair. My country cannot afford to
[26:31] Speaker 6: waste dollars. Ridiculous.
[26:34] Speaker 5: Your country wastes more than any other in the world,
[26:37] Speaker 5: doesn't it, Mr.
[26:38] Speaker 6: David Hardy? What do you mean? Don't be foolish, Fulda,
[26:42] Speaker 6: whatever your real name is.
[26:43] Speaker 3: It's Mallory, Belair. Thank you, Mr.
[26:45] Speaker 6: Hardy.
[26:46] Speaker 5: You think that I, a dealer in espionage, would not
[26:48] Speaker 5: recognize the head of the largest counter-spy organization in the world?
[26:53] Speaker 6: Karen.
[26:53] Speaker 4: Yes, Belair?
[26:54] Speaker 6: We'll leave them of any weapons they may be carrying.
[26:57] Speaker 4: Certainly.
[26:59] Speaker 6: So, I was dealing with the United States all the time, Mr.
[27:02] Speaker 4: Harvey.
[27:03] Speaker 3: You didn't suspect it, did you?
[27:04] Speaker 6: Give this agent of yours credit. He was very clever
[27:07] Speaker 6: to assume the identity of a known spy. What about Dr. Brewster?
[27:11] Speaker 5: Of course, you soon realized the man I delivered was
[27:13] Speaker 5: an imposter. A fool I hired.
[27:15] Speaker 6: To impersonate the doctor.
[27:16] Speaker 3: But the real doctor?
[27:18] Speaker 6: Like the fake one. He's dead, too.
[27:22] Speaker 3: Can you prove that, Belair?
[27:24] Speaker 5: That's how I got his dental cast and fingerprints. I
[27:27] Speaker 5: thought I could persuade him to talk. Unfortunately, his heart
[27:32] Speaker 5: was not as strong as his conviction.
[27:34] Speaker 6: You're lucky with heart trouble, aren't you?
[27:36] Speaker 5: You mean the gentleman who died on your hands? That
[27:38] Speaker 5: wasn't heart trouble, Mallory. Definitely not.
[27:41] Speaker 6: It was poison.
[27:42] Speaker 5: The drink he took before you left Boulder.
[27:45] Speaker 6: Mallory. Now, Mr. Harding. I have no doubt you have
[27:51] Speaker 6: other agents outside. But I, too... have an ace. There
[27:57] Speaker 6: are many exits from the chateau. I shall leave by
[28:01] Speaker 6: one and leave you two here dead. Your first shot
[28:07] Speaker 6: will bring our men in.
[28:08] Speaker 3: And you're not going to fire it, Belair. I have
[28:11] Speaker 3: a trump ace to play yet. The agent who informed
[28:14] Speaker 3: me of this in the first place.
[28:17] Speaker 4: All right, Belair, drop your gun.
[28:18] Speaker 6: Drop it, Belair.
[28:19] Speaker 3: That's right, Belair. Meet Miss Karen Delphus, counter-spy. My Trump 8.
[28:24] Speaker 3: But the dead one.
[28:29] Speaker 6: You all right, Karen?
[28:30] Speaker 4: I'm okay, Mr.
[28:31] Speaker 6: Harding.
[28:31] Speaker 4: He missed by just enough.
[28:32] Speaker 6: I didn't think he'd try that, Mr.
[28:33] Speaker 2: Harding.
[28:34] Speaker 3: Not just as well. A little stable. A lot of
[28:35] Speaker 3: explanation all around. It's all right, Peter. Everything's under control.
[28:41] Speaker 3: An agent you haven't met. Meet Karen Delphus, codename Q8.
[28:45] Speaker 4: Glad to meet you at last, Mr.
[28:46] Speaker 5: Peter.
[28:47] Speaker 6: Glad to meet you.
[28:48] Speaker 3: Mallory, stay here with the body. Call the Swiss police.
[28:50] Speaker 3: I want to report everything to Washington. Peter, you can
[28:53] Speaker 3: escort Karen to her hotel. She'll probably fly back home
[28:56] Speaker 3: with us. That'll be a pleasure, Dave. Yes, that's what
[28:59] Speaker 3: I'm afraid of. Let's go.
[29:10] Speaker 2: Now, everybody, act immediately. Send only 50 cents with your
[29:15] Speaker 2: name and address clearly printed and only one Pepsi-Cola bottle
[29:19] Speaker 2: top for a genuine, candid-style camera. Send to Counterspy Headquarters,
[29:25] Speaker 2: Box 12, New York 8, New York. And remember... Pepsi-Cola
[29:31] Speaker 2: hits the spot.
[29:32] Speaker 3: Truthful glasses, that's a lot.
[29:34] Speaker 2: Lots more value, lots more zest.
[29:36] Speaker 3: Spy takes less when Pepsi's best. Tune in every Tuesday
[29:39] Speaker 3: and Thursday, same time, same station, to Counterspy. Listen next
[29:43] Speaker 3: Tuesday for the exciting Counterspy case of the beefy buyer.
[29:48] Speaker 3: Millions in merchandise vanished into thin air. A master criminal
[29:52] Speaker 3: with one tiny failing. And a weakling who turns strong
[29:56] Speaker 3: in the face of death. These were some of the
[29:58] Speaker 3: memorable facts in an action-packed investigation we're going to dramatize
[30:01] Speaker 3: next week. Be sure to be listening for Case of
[30:04] Speaker 3: the Beefy Buyer on Counterspy. Tonight's Counterspy program originated in
[30:14] Speaker 3: New York, was directed by Mark B. Lowe, dramatized by
[30:17] Speaker 3: Palmer Thompson, and featured Don McLaughlin and Mandel Kramer with
[30:21] Speaker 3: music by Jesse Crawford.
[30:23] Speaker 2: Bob Shepard speaking. Counterspy is a Phillips H. Lord production
[30:27] Speaker 2: for Pepsi-Cola. Enjoy some Pepsi ice cold tonight.
[30:39] Speaker 1: Welcome back. I can't believe it. They got me. Totally
[30:46] Speaker 1: took me by surprise. This is this whole thing with
[30:51] Speaker 1: the camera to me felt like David Harding was real
[30:56] Speaker 1: and ran Pepsi's marketing department. I've heard this done before,
[31:01] Speaker 1: but generally on kids programs, Superman. There was also a
[31:09] Speaker 1: serial with Dick Tracy where he had a decoder ring
[31:13] Speaker 1: and then, you know, you could get the decoder ring.
[31:18] Speaker 1: But I always imagine Counterspy as more of an adult
[31:23] Speaker 1: or family program. I wouldn't expect to see this type
[31:27] Speaker 1: of promotion. Of course, there are other types of promotions.
[31:32] Speaker 6: Certainly.
[31:34] Speaker 1: That is something that was leveraged in radio quite a
[31:37] Speaker 1: bit at the end of the 1940s. They had a
[31:41] Speaker 1: giveaway on Nick Carter in the late 40s where, you know,
[31:46] Speaker 1: you entered a contest and the grand prize was a car.
[31:52] Speaker 6: But this is the.
[31:53] Speaker 1: Sort of giveaway that you might hear about more often
[31:57] Speaker 1: on a kid's program. But what I liked is they
[32:01] Speaker 1: were a lot more subtle than you would be on
[32:03] Speaker 1: a kid's program. And they really gave this whole camera
[32:08] Speaker 1: thing its own arc. Because it starts out with Hardy
[32:12] Speaker 1: mentioning it would be nice... if all our agents had
[32:17] Speaker 1: these mini cameras. That would make our jobs a lot easier.
[32:21] Speaker 1: Then a week later, it gets introduced into the plot.
[32:25] Speaker 1: And then we get this special promotional offer. And this
[32:30] Speaker 1: also does explain why the Minox wasn't mentioned or something
[32:36] Speaker 1: like that acknowledged as being in existence. And this is
[32:41] Speaker 1: somewhat illustrated by this comment from Saysoft, who writes regarding
[32:48] Speaker 1: the episode, The Genuine Counterfeit. I just checked on eBay,
[32:54] Speaker 1: and they have plenty of Minox cameras that are priced
[32:58] Speaker 1: at about $ 100 each. I also found a vendor that
[33:01] Speaker 1: sells fresh Fuji cameras. film for them that was custom
[33:04] Speaker 1: made by a camera store in Japan. The film price
[33:08] Speaker 1: is $ 119 for three rolls, and the Minox did have
[33:15] Speaker 1: a special type of film that you couldn't get at
[33:21] Speaker 1: a normal pharmacy, say, in the 1940s and certainly can't today.
[33:29] Speaker 1: You didn't want to have a camera that would require
[33:33] Speaker 1: the special type of like spy camera film for it.
[33:38] Speaker 1: And so what they were promoting and hinting at was
[33:41] Speaker 1: a camera anybody could use that could be mass produced
[33:46] Speaker 1: and obviously could take standard film. only other point I
[33:52] Speaker 1: would add to what Saysoft said, and I do appreciate
[33:54] Speaker 1: the research, is while $ 100 isn't bad for a camera,
[34:00] Speaker 1: any camera that costs, I'm now convinced, any camera that
[34:03] Speaker 1: costs more than 50 cents and a Pepsi bottle cap
[34:09] Speaker 1: is too much. In all seriousness though, it's a clever promotion. Now,
[34:15] Speaker 1: while this is the first time I've heard this sort
[34:18] Speaker 1: of thing on Counterspy, It may not have been unique.
[34:22] Speaker 1: I did find some internet sources that stated that Counterspy
[34:27] Speaker 1: often offered various promotional items that were tied into the program.
[34:33] Speaker 1: So perhaps the wary listener, particularly if he or she
[34:39] Speaker 1: had kids, heard he's going to see about making this
[34:43] Speaker 1: available to everybody, had the thought, well, I guess it's
[34:47] Speaker 1: time to buy some more Pepsi. And it might be
[34:51] Speaker 1: a challenge to explain to folks who were born the
[34:56] Speaker 1: turn of the 21st century how much kids would want
[35:04] Speaker 1: this sort of camera. as digital photography has been ubiquitous
[35:09] Speaker 1: throughout most of their lives. But I'll tell you that
[35:14] Speaker 1: as a child in the 80s, having my own camera,
[35:19] Speaker 1: even a cheap little model, and being able to try
[35:23] Speaker 1: to take pictures was such a thrill. And certainly it
[35:27] Speaker 1: would have been 1949 as well. particularly with it being
[35:32] Speaker 1: the same type of camera used on Counterspot. And these
[35:37] Speaker 1: sort of promotions were great for a couple reasons. For
[35:41] Speaker 1: the brand, it kept the public engaged with the brand,
[35:46] Speaker 1: and it also measured how much audiences were listening to
[35:53] Speaker 1: and following Counterspot, the level of success that you would
[35:57] Speaker 1: have with these sort of promotions. I do wish that
[36:01] Speaker 1: we had further episodes in this line. But alas, this
[36:07] Speaker 1: is the end of our, I think, 22 straight episode
[36:12] Speaker 1: streak of episodes. And the next available episode we have
[36:16] Speaker 1: isn't until February of 1950, by which, you know, three
[36:21] Speaker 1: months later, the promotion would obviously be over. But it's
[36:25] Speaker 1: neat that we had this episode, because without it, we
[36:29] Speaker 1: never would have known what the payoff was for what
[36:33] Speaker 1: was being dropped at, or even what was being hinted.
[36:37] Speaker 1: It's kind of interesting that the last program was about
[36:42] Speaker 1: this modern trail of breadcrumbs that Harding was leaving. And really,
[36:49] Speaker 1: we had a whole trail leading us over the radio
[36:54] Speaker 1: to this promotion. Now, a little bit about the plot.
[36:58] Speaker 6: Of the episode.
[36:59] Speaker 1: I think Blair's plan was incredibly nervy. In practicality, what
[37:07] Speaker 1: intelligence agency on the face of the planet in 1949
[37:12] Speaker 1: that could give you two, two and a half, three
[37:15] Speaker 1: million dollars are the type of people that you want
[37:18] Speaker 1: to try ripping off by giving them an imposter. who
[37:23] Speaker 1: dies before giving any secrets and then saying, sorry, no refunds.
[37:30] Speaker 1: And effectively, his entire information broker career would be over
[37:35] Speaker 1: because you can be an amoral cutthroat, but you have
[37:40] Speaker 1: to be an amoral cutthroat who delivers the goods. Although
[37:45] Speaker 1: $ 3 million was a lot to cash out with back
[37:48] Speaker 1: in 1949, still a huge risk. And speaking of that,
[37:55] Speaker 1: the troubling questions that Harding would have to deal with is,
[38:00] Speaker 1: why did you bring an operational team to conduct an
[38:05] Speaker 1: armed operation in a neutral country? And this might be
[38:10] Speaker 1: a case where Dangerous Assignment and the man called X
[38:17] Speaker 1: have a little bit more realism in how these sort
[38:20] Speaker 1: of things occur. Because With many of their missions, there
[38:25] Speaker 1: can be a degree of plausible deniability. It's a little
[38:30] Speaker 1: bit harder when you send in David Harding. You can't
[38:34] Speaker 1: just say, well, he was acting on his own. He's
[38:37] Speaker 1: the director. I will also say that the confrontation where
[38:41] Speaker 1: Harding and Blair were each, you know, countering each other
[38:46] Speaker 1: with revelations, It is the type of thing that they
[38:51] Speaker 1: parodied quite often on Get Smart, so it's nice to
[38:55] Speaker 1: hear the inspiration for that, or one of them anyway.
[38:58] Speaker 1: Now we turn to further comments and feedback. Dawn had
