Transcript

I'm glad you could make it here at my office. I'm very glad you got here just now.

What's the big mystery, Markham? Why did you want me here at exactly 11 o'clock at night? I'm not sure this whole thing isn't a gag of some kind of dance, but if it isn't, I can promise you some excitement.

Well, Mr. Turturnis is famous for keeping their promises. I'm glad I came. I hope you will, Dave. What's up? Vance, I found a message on my desk this evening indicating I could expect a phone call at 11 o'clock tonight.

That might save somebody's life. That's what we're waiting for. waiting for. Well that's fine with me. I don't know anything I'd rather do. It's one minute after 11 though. Perhaps somebody else did a little life saving.

Perhaps we'll wait a few. All everything, man. Yes, of course. Is your attorney Markham speaking? Markham, this was John Green with Mirror Partents. You got my message. About saving your life? Where's just what is all this green? It's terrible. I... What's the trouble, man? I can't talk to you right now. Good What?

Vance, do you hear that? I certainly did. Maybe that phone book next to you. Yeah, sure. Thanks. He said his name is Green, John Green, Windmurd, Pardance. Green, Green, no. Yes, here we are. Tell Green if he's in trouble.

We can be over there in ten minutes. All right, Vance. Green, this is Markham again. Now listen, follow Vance and I are on the way over there. We'll be at your house in ten minutes.

No, no, don't calm if you try. Green. Green. He doesn't answer Vance. Let's get over to this place right away. Apparently somebody shot him while he was talking to you. Markham, you've just eavesdropped on a murder.
