[1:35] Speaker 2: the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world.
[1:43] Speaker 3: Broadway is My Beat with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Glover.
[1:55] Speaker 2: When October dies and the river wind takes over, Broadway
[1:59] Speaker 2: is arranged in clots of crowd and coldness. There's a
[2:02] Speaker 2: new quality on Broadway, shrill, having to do with top
[2:06] Speaker 2: coats and early darkness and frosty sounds. And twilight is brief,
[2:10] Speaker 2: a darting ebb of light in the sudden autumn chill
[2:13] Speaker 2: and hurry, hurry, hurry to this place or that home,
[2:16] Speaker 2: or to a hot dog stand, or to the neon
[2:18] Speaker 2: that winks a promise. Hurry, kid, make a phone call,
[2:21] Speaker 2: find somebody. It's night already, and it seems the night
[2:30] Speaker 2: comes sooner in the tenement district, or somehow it never
[2:33] Speaker 2: quite leaves in the barrio in Spanish Harlem. That's why
[2:37] Speaker 2: the people gather together sooner and start their music earlier.
[2:41] Speaker 2: In a small nightclub like Lacantina, where I was and
[2:44] Speaker 2: Detective Gomez was and the man who led us across
[2:47] Speaker 2: the floor.
[2:48] Speaker 4: But here, Signoris Dandy steps, he's in the cell.
[2:56] Speaker 2: You were the one who found him, see, and he
[2:57] Speaker 2: went down here to my stove, being to reprint the
[3:00] Speaker 2: for my customers. Well, you see any other entrance to
[3:06] Speaker 2: the cellar than all the steps we just came.
[3:07] Speaker 4: Down, you will see, Senor.
[3:10] Speaker 2: Don't make a drama out of it. Low, it's just.
[3:14] Speaker 4: There and the big cases stretched out with dead.
[3:19] Speaker 2: I'll tell us, Luis, how did you get in here?
[3:22] Speaker 4: You see a window through which deliveries are made from
[3:24] Speaker 4: the alley. Mirror of the window is broken through.
[3:26] Speaker 2: So take a look in the alley. Coms Okay, you
[3:30] Speaker 2: know who he is.

[3:48] Speaker 4: It's the floor show. Senor be gone.
[3:50] Speaker 2: Yeah.
[3:51] Speaker 4: Decide who cannot take the time to see Senor? It
[3:54] Speaker 4: is exciting. Decide you have not the time?
[4:02] Speaker 2: And beating against the cellar tomb containing a boy's death,
[4:05] Speaker 2: the ribbon plaque of a woman's high heel dancing in
[4:08] Speaker 2: measured frenzy, to a nimble passion plucked from a guitar,
[4:12] Speaker 2: to the percussion of men's applause, to the olets hoarsely
[4:15] Speaker 2: whispered deep in the throat. The light bulb sways to it,
[4:19] Speaker 2: the shadows dance, and the huddled boy shrieks his stillness
[4:28] Speaker 2: and into it. After a while, Gomez with information there
[4:31] Speaker 2: were blood stains in the alley outside. The boy had
[4:34] Speaker 2: been knife there, had fallen or was pushed through the
[4:36] Speaker 2: cellar window. Leave Gomez to the official gathering of the dead.
[4:41] Speaker 2: Walk a barrio street to the bakery of Signor Lorca,

[16:30] Speaker 2: One not celebrate. You were telling us how you didn't

[16:42] Speaker 15: All of a sudden it was a shot.
[16:44] Speaker 16: I guess where that windows open to the alley. All
[16:47] Speaker 16: of a sudden, Rain had just dropped down in my arms,
[16:50] Speaker 16: and there was blood on my shirt from where she.
[16:54] Speaker 11: See it.

[17:33] Speaker 2: Thank you. Let's sit on. My name's Clover Douglas, Sir
[17:38] Speaker 2: John Douglas. Bobby Garfield called you. Bobby's in a lot
[17:41] Speaker 2: of trouble.
[17:42] Speaker 4: Trouble, mister Clover is a thing youth is prone to
[17:45] Speaker 4: generate for itself. You will I understand it.
[17:47] Speaker 2: The trouble is murder. May I asked, mister Douglas, why
[17:52] Speaker 2: Bobby called you?
[17:53] Speaker 4: Of course you made didn't you know I'm a football coach?
[17:56] Speaker 2: No, I didn't know.
[17:57] Speaker 4: Bobby comes under my tutelage. Is an end, an excellent one, Kay,
[18:00] Speaker 4: College's pride offensive end of course?
[18:02] Speaker 2: Of course? What else about Bobby? What else about him?
[18:07] Speaker 4: I found him in New Mexico, prevailed upon the McKay
[18:09] Speaker 4: regents to make his way to New York easy. They
[18:11] Speaker 4: certainly agreed with me. He's very fast as Bobby at
[18:15] Speaker 4: a speed racing the super Cheap across the New Mexico deserts.
[18:18] Speaker 4: I tell sports reporters for Color.
[18:20] Speaker 2: He was found running out of a room where a
[18:22] Speaker 2: girl was shot to death.
[18:25] Speaker 4: This series confounding, I told my squad. I keep telling
[18:29] Speaker 4: them no dates until after the season, so surely they
[18:32] Speaker 4: must be a mistake. Bobby listens to me.
[18:34] Speaker 2: There's no mistake, mister Douglas.
[18:37] Speaker 4: Who is the girl those flirts from Greenberry School across.
[18:41] Speaker 2: The river Raynham Martinez? A barrio girl?
[18:45] Speaker 4: Of course? If gen well, what am I expected to do?
[18:52] Speaker 2: Answer another question? Do you know a McKay student named
[18:55] Speaker 2: Donald Jordan?
[18:56] Speaker 4: No, he's not football.
[18:57] Speaker 2: I wouldn't know him.
[18:59] Speaker 4: I still don't know what I'm expected to do about this,
[19:04] Speaker 4: this altercation that Bobby has gotten himself into.
[19:07] Speaker 2: Just talk to him, mister Douglas. He's under suspicion of murder.
[19:11] Speaker 2: He asked for you, of course, your pardon me, sir.
[19:15] Speaker 12: I go.
[19:20] Speaker 2: And watch the leader of men go talk to one
[19:22] Speaker 2: of his boys, not knowing what to say, not knowing
[19:25] Speaker 2: how to pep talk a boy out of a grief.
[19:27] Speaker 2: The coach had never played against before, and imagine it
[19:32] Speaker 2: the pat on the shoulder, the voice modulated to the
[19:34] Speaker 2: acoustics of a cell, then the curiosity taking over. Finally,
[19:38] Speaker 2: gentle insinuating, tell me about his son, Tell me about
[19:42] Speaker 2: the girl. Tell me what there was about her that
[19:45] Speaker 2: made you. Then wipe the smirk off your mouth. Because
[19:49] Speaker 2: you've asked these questions too, we'll go on asking them.
[19:53] Speaker 2: And because you're a policeman, ask them with the official
[19:56] Speaker 2: stamp of approval of anyone of an employer of the girl. Now, Dad,
[20:01] Speaker 2: senor Laca, for instance.
[20:02] Speaker 10: I told you, say, I told you of the exquisiteness
[20:05] Speaker 10: of Reyna. That she is dead does not change my
[20:09] Speaker 10: philosophy about her. Well, there is such as Raina. There
[20:13] Speaker 10: is such as.
[20:14] Speaker 2: Did you kill her? Laca?
[20:17] Speaker 10: Listen to me saying or listened very closely. How could
[20:22] Speaker 10: I lift my hand to Reina acceded to ow.
[20:27] Speaker 2: That's why with a gun in it? Then shoot her
[20:29] Speaker 2: through a window while she was dancing with Bobby Garfield.
[20:31] Speaker 10: That's how explain me, Explain me something. Why should I
[20:36] Speaker 10: do this when I don't even know this?
[20:37] Speaker 11: This Garfield?
[20:39] Speaker 2: Bobby Garfield, he knew Raina, loved her like Riccardo Migual,
[20:42] Speaker 2: did someone found an alley where Ricardo was stabbed him
[20:45] Speaker 2: to death, then saw Raina in the arms of Bobby Garfield,
[20:49] Speaker 2: shot Raina, killed her, watched Garfield being taken to prison.
[20:53] Speaker 2: It all worked out real good for a man like you,
[20:56] Speaker 2: a man who says he loved Reina, a man who
[20:58] Speaker 2: Reina didn't love.
[20:59] Speaker 10: I tell you some things, saying all this that you said.
[21:03] Speaker 10: I could wish it, wish it deep inside here, but
[21:07] Speaker 10: I could not do it. I'm only a seller of pastries.
[21:11] Speaker 10: I have not the what it needs. And you didn't
[21:15] Speaker 10: know about Garfield, about Ded Ricardo, my pastry boy. I
[21:18] Speaker 10: knew about the college boy who took Rana for me
[21:21] Speaker 10: to show her dogs quack quack on Needley's rivals.
[21:24] Speaker 11: I knew till now. I regret you told.
[21:28] Speaker 2: Me about this Garfield one more playing.
[21:31] Speaker 11: That told me I may speak to the phone.
[21:33] Speaker 10: Go ahead, Lord has pastelaria eh a detective.
[21:42] Speaker 11: See there is a detective here.
[21:44] Speaker 10: This is what you want.
[21:45] Speaker 12: A Lord.
[21:47] Speaker 11: Momento for you, saying your thanks.
[21:52] Speaker 2: Danny Clover speaking Danny, I just striped.
[21:54] Speaker 13: You only because Dean Crawford McKay College found didn't want
[21:57] Speaker 13: you to come to his office right away.
[21:58] Speaker 2: I tell you. Why shaka for you?
[22:01] Speaker 13: What an immediate charka goose?
[22:02] Speaker 2: What is very thanks to you?
[22:03] Speaker 5: Know?
[22:04] Speaker 2: Maybe I'll have to get back to you, larker, So
[22:07] Speaker 2: don't go away. Did I say something funny, Dean Crawper.
[22:21] Speaker 18: No, not you, mister Clover. I said something funny. I
[22:25] Speaker 18: made the remark to myself. Oh this week, mister Clover,
[22:29] Speaker 18: just this week, I sent in my resignation to the
[22:33] Speaker 18: Board of Regents, a thing unheard of. No dean ever
[22:36] Speaker 18: quits at McKay. We get fired. I quit effective the
[22:41] Speaker 18: new year. And that's funny, scandalous to use a McKay
[22:45] Speaker 18: term that's hardly ever used. And then think about it,
[22:48] Speaker 18: mister Clover, one of the students is involved in a
[22:51] Speaker 18: murder all in the same week. This is a black
[22:54] Speaker 18: week for McKay. I wonder about something about what statistics
[23:01] Speaker 18: how many McKay boys have gone out into the world
[23:04] Speaker 18: and committed murder? As still Dean of McKay, I'll match
[23:09] Speaker 18: my boys against anybody.
[23:10] Speaker 2: Loo Dane Crawford, you called me setter. Was urgent? Suppose
[23:13] Speaker 2: you tell me something urgent.
[23:15] Speaker 18: I got a letter a while ago from a daddy,
[23:18] Speaker 18: A daddy who is sending his son through McKay. He's
[23:22] Speaker 18: a worried man. What are you talking about? The daddy
[23:25] Speaker 18: of Donald Jordan worried about the bills? His son has
[23:28] Speaker 18: run up. No wonder Maajorie jewelry baubles.
[23:32] Speaker 11: For a sex.
[23:33] Speaker 18: We only mention in psychology too female, So that I
[23:38] Speaker 18: came after your detective gumz it left.
[23:40] Speaker 2: How close was Donald Jordan to Bobby Garfield?
[23:43] Speaker 18: I'll tell you how close we have an arrangement here
[23:47] Speaker 18: a sign of football player to a scholar arrangement. Garfield
[23:51] Speaker 18: was coached in his studies by Donald Jordan. This is
[23:55] Speaker 18: known as intellectual freedom. Donald writes Bobby's themes, does his assignments,
[24:01] Speaker 18: which leaves Bobby free to think about nothing admirable.
[24:06] Speaker 2: What else can you tell me about them?
[24:08] Speaker 18: Which one of those rascals do you think killed that girl?
[24:10] Speaker 2: I asked you a question.
[24:11] Speaker 18: I've told you everything I can, mister Clover, Well, McKay,
[24:16] Speaker 18: semper fidelio, as we always say, don't you always say no?
[24:21] Speaker 2: I don't blame you, Bye, mister Clover. Bobby, come on,
[24:39] Speaker 2: Bobby on your feed?
[24:41] Speaker 15: What what do you want?
[24:43] Speaker 2: Let's go, Bobby, We're going for a visit.
[24:45] Speaker 5: Visit.
[24:46] Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going back to school.
[25:01] Speaker 14: There's rooms on this floors to clear, right across the
[25:03] Speaker 14: hall from mine.
[25:05] Speaker 2: He never goes to the bonfire rallies. It's probably in.
[25:09] Speaker 14: Listen, the most studious room in the fraternity house. Where
[25:15] Speaker 14: is it you, Bobby, It's me, Bobby Garfield. Bobby, I thought, oh,
[25:26] Speaker 14: let's go inside.
[25:27] Speaker 2: Donald. I'm sure, gee. I'm glad to see you're out, Bobby.
[25:33] Speaker 14: Yeah, I knew you would be.
[25:34] Speaker 15: That's why I came right to you so you could
[25:36] Speaker 15: be glad.
[25:37] Speaker 2: That's right, Donald. Bobby told me a lot about you
[25:39] Speaker 2: on the way over here. I don't understand what you're
[25:42] Speaker 2: doing here. We'll get around to it.
[25:44] Speaker 14: I get bad news for your kid, bad news. You
[25:48] Speaker 14: remember something the day we were inducted into this fraternity.
[25:53] Speaker 4: What are you talking about?
[25:54] Speaker 14: The day we put four fingers up in the air
[25:56] Speaker 14: and gave the secret handclasp and said the words the
[26:00] Speaker 14: second finger meant loyalty.
[26:03] Speaker 4: You haven't been too blue?
[26:05] Speaker 2: What did they do to you in jail? Bobby?
[26:07] Speaker 4: You talk crazy? Crazy, Frank Blake crazy.
[26:13] Speaker 2: Cut it out.
[26:14] Speaker 14: Yeah, I'll cut it out. Pardon I didn't have a paddle,
[26:18] Speaker 14: fraternity brother? Is this how you police act?
[26:20] Speaker 2: Bring a crazy man into my room and having beat
[26:22] Speaker 2: me up. I'm sorry, Donald, I told him a few
[26:24] Speaker 2: things on our way here. I didn't know what upset
[26:26] Speaker 2: him this way. Look, I don't know what this is
[26:28] Speaker 2: all about. Why don't we all go down to the bonfire?
[26:32] Speaker 4: Sure, sure, let's do that.
[26:34] Speaker 8: It'll make a big impression, Bobby, you being out of jail,
[26:37] Speaker 8: gonna play tomorrow?

[26:57] Speaker 2: Take my word for it.
[26:58] Speaker 14: Fraternity brother, there really was a Dane.
[27:02] Speaker 2: You talked about me, didn't you?
[27:04] Speaker 14: You and Reina we had a few chuckles whenever your
[27:07] Speaker 14: name came up.
[27:08] Speaker 2: You ready to go? Donald? What did you say about me?
[27:10] Speaker 14: You know what we said? Let you say to yourself.
[27:13] Speaker 14: I'm alone, Bobby, I.
[27:14] Speaker 2: Didn't kill anybody. Mister Clover who killed one of Raina's boyfriends,
[27:18] Speaker 2: Ricardo Miguel, to prove something to her that she couldn't
[27:21] Speaker 2: have anyone but you, that you wouldn't let her have
[27:22] Speaker 2: anyone but you. You don't know what you're talking about.

[27:39] Speaker 2: What are you laughing at? Nothing at all?
[27:42] Speaker 17: What are you laughing at?
[27:44] Speaker 14: I laugh because I remember something a couple of saturdays ago,

[27:51] Speaker 14: came out of the stadium, came up and told me.
[27:53] Speaker 15: Who she was.
[27:53] Speaker 14: We celebrated the occasion. You took her to that game,
[27:58] Speaker 14: didn't you.
[27:58] Speaker 2: Donald. I'm only sorry I didn't kill you two.
[28:02] Speaker 14: You almost did at that at Donald, Raina or me,
[28:06] Speaker 14: while you were peeking at us from the alley, while
[28:09] Speaker 14: you were.
[28:11] Speaker 2: Who we aiming at Raina?
