The Line Up: UNTITLED (aka-Eddie Gaynor Framed For Murder)

The FBI in peace and war usually heard at this time throughout the year is taking its summer vacation The FBI in peace and war returned to CBS six weeks from now August 31st Ladies and gentlemen, we take you now behind the scenes of a police headquarters in a great American city Or into the cold blurring lights will pass before us the innocent the vagrant the thief the murderer

We take you now to the lineup. Don't worry about a thing, Mr. Honesty. I just don't want anything to happen to me. I've got a family.

Just identify the man you saw holding the gun. We'll see the nothing happens. I sit down. Gangsters. I should never have taken that job as Janet to there in the first place. As sweet of offices. A mess for gangsters.

You should have thought about that. Hey, I have your attention, please. You can be put out there on your name as Grapes. Sergeant, each of the suspects you will see will be numbered. I'll call up a number, their name and charge.

If you have any questions or identification, please remember the number of sides of the prisoner, as I call his name. At the end of the line, when I call for questions or identification, call out the number.

If you're sure or not too sure of the suspect, have him held. I don't like this, Luke, and I'm worried we are. We are the students who took your name, will assist you, their seated among you.

Please be frank with your questions or identification. When the prisoners leave here, they are sent to the bathroom and dress back into their jail clothes. It makes it quite difficult to bring them back here after they leave.

The questions I ask these suspects are merely to get a natural tone of voice, so do not pay too much attention to their answers as they often lie. Bring on the line. This way, boys, write down the stage.

You're the front man, walk to the end of a ticket place. The rest follow. The one John Weston, vagrancy, where do you live, John? How's one 69th Street? I know that for what number? Ain't no number.

One with a flag and a one. All right, what were you doing with the officer of rescue? What were you doing in a barrel? Nothing, Lieutenant. One of the things gets going bad. I find me up until I feel better.

Anything wrong with that? Number two, Lee Dogren carrying concealed weapons, ready to leave. Loop point hill, 1256, Park Boulevard. That's a pretty Tony place, Lee. What were you doing on Skid Row with a Luger?

Walking? Where'd you get the Luger? It's not mine, it's my wife. Where'd she get it? I was gonna ask her today where she got it. Number three, Aaron Kojaren. Armenia. What are you doing here?

Getting ready to go back to Uratou, Armenia. What were you doing when the officer arrested you? Practicing my profession like so I had in Uratou, Armenia. What's your profession, Aaron? Deep Pokey. Number four, Ed, again, a sufficient murder.

Where do you live? wherever you led me. Number four. I heard. I heard. Number four. All right, Sergeant. Turn sideways, did he? Okay. He's a side wave. Again, so you're back as to the again, sideways.

I understand. Number four. I wouldn't say so. I already feel like I was born here, lived here died. Why don't you get in.

Two days ago? It's a frame. I didn't care. Maybe I should never come from where? Longridge. I wish you could, but don't describe us. Why did you leave him? I told you. I wanted to better myself.

Live like real people that, especially rich people. What do you do, Eddie? Come again. I mean, what's your work, your profession? How do you make a living? Beat up on a week. The price is right up here.

There are other ways to make a living. Johnny Durand, who was a big man in our town? Price for killing him must have been high. Who paid you to kill him, Eddie? Nobody? Because I didn't kill Johnny Durand.

Why should I kill him and need him? For what? What I said to better myself, Johnny was big. He was a hoodle, a gangster. Like I said, like you said he was big, good connections.

When I get to town, the wind whispers in my ear, Johnny Johnato. With Johnny, it'll be good. I don't kill what's good for him. How to see the janitor, they may not have identified you.

Said he heard shots early this morning when he was cleaning up. So are you running out of Johnny's office with a gun in your hand? Found Johnny with bullet holes in him, just like I found him.

Tell me how it was. It'll do good. Tell me. Walking down the hall at Johnny's office, I hear shots. Quirk got run in. Johnny slumped over his desk. He's dead with his head on his penny bank.

I reached for my gun. I don't have it. Oh, I don't have it because my gun got there ahead of me. It's on the floor at Johnny's feet. My gun. And they timed it, Quirk.

I knew I hadn't appointed Wilma till o'clock in the morning. Why didn't you leave it alone? Why'd you pick up your guns? Why did you run? You must be kidding. Must be making big ha-ha jokes with me.

Why does a guy like me run? Who arranged your appointment with Toronto? Something will sell perfume. Ruby Loyn? Yeah. Ruby. Never saw him before in my life. But five o'clock he picks me up at the pool room where I've been hanging out.

It's a big car. It takes me to a store, sells me a fifth, a November afternoon. It tells me I got an appointment with Johnny. What more could a guy ask? Between five and two in the morning.

Where were you? I gave you her name free, because she was in on the frame. Jenny Brain, the free smile conner in Nicky's barn, man. How were you framed, Eddie? Jenny takes me home with her because she sees him a stranger in time.

We talk, she sings me a lullaby. Oh, sweet. If I had to tell you, she works me. Pushes me out the door. I shouldn't be late for my appointment with Toronto. I don't even have time to notice my gun is gone.

I figured it must. You got a date, Eddie. You got a date to die because you murdered me. What have you got, man? The report from Holistic's. The bullet in Toronto's body came from Eddie's gun here.

Yeah, with a pretty, pretty frame. Hey boys and go pettypally on your day's work, Scott. Maybe Eddie. I'll go make sure. Talk him up, man. Like a what, mister? Scott, you're only walking.

Thanks. You asked, Lord, you got it. Makes me nervous, one of God's just stares at his scotch. I don't, Sima. A scotch stare with a burden. We provide, mister. Yeah. Friend told me. You see, a friend told you.

Our hostess is bringing a smile, mister. Mm. What's your friend telling you? Jenny, he told you good. Jenny, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. A friend told us once a man was a girl, Jenny, yeah.

Ah. He poured that drink for you, Jenny. Uh-huh. Well, try a keg. Enjoying each other. You're a lot clearer when you want more. I said hello. Yeah, no. trying to think of a clever answer.

Forget it. I was just thinking. Forget that too. You're a young evening. Come in, Nicole, huh? What do you plan to say about me? That you're nice to talk to? He was in last night.

It's a good song. It's a real good song. Last night he came in feeling unhappy. He said, Ginny, listen to him. What line of work are you in, Mr? Oh, you call it? I like things made out of silk.

Do you think I'll you like? Last night? Last night. That's what Eddie said. You know why you're not drinking your drink? Because you're a cop on duty who's not drinking on duty. What happened last night?

Mac? Mac, come here. Last night, Mac. Oh, what happened to you last night? You were here till 3 AM. I took you home. Had my eye on you all last night, Jenny. Goodbye, cop. In time, I was just going to close there.

Hi, Ruby. What's the matter, Ben? You goin' out, you need to smell good. I guess an English cologne on sale makes you smell like a dove. Come on in. Blocked the door, cause of another customer came in.

I'd be rude, June. I'm not tryin'. Well, can I show you, Ben? So, it's such a pleasure to wait on you. You stayed open today, are you? Hey, shouldn't it done there? Should've stayed home so the black band almost flew, you know?

Yes, and I've got a sale going on. It's been advertised in the press and radio and TV, or I couldn't disappoint my client. Johnny Toronto might have been disappointed. Johnny might have been at that.

Many ways he was a sense of humanity. You know Ben, I've been so engrossed in this sale, I didn't even think of it in that way. Forgive me, Johnny. That's all Johnny's death means, companionist number one, Aaron Boy.

We have the funeral, our bees, number one, more. Oh, why, you prying to my emotions there? Where were you last night, Ruby? Around two o'clock, say. Who would my wife at home, I couldn't sleep, so my wife played hearts with me.

You can check that with her maids. She'd love to use her cards. I don't keep a pack in my house. Johnny Toronto, dead to Seneca, could crown you, king in this town, couldn't it, Ruby?

Oh, it could, but I gave up all that to use the girls, everyone knew, even Johnny. And you know, in my heart, I hate perfume. Why did you promise any for the job? Eddie G Oh, here, howl it's done.

Almanage. Don't take your wife away for a vacation, Ruby. Wait, miss you both. It's got to call Lieutenant Homicide. Wherefore, Alie, between Maple and Truth, 23rd Street, three blocks away. Red light, Sergeant. Let's go.

Hello, Lieutenant. No purse. Let me make a identification a little tough. No. I know who she is. Huh? A girl who liked hillbilly music. In the bar? Yeah. Call them more, party. Tell him to come to an alley and pick up Ginny Breen, for a witness behind the scenes at police headquarters as we bring you the line up.

It's not only murder in an antique shop. It's murder by an antique method which faces Mr. Keene when he comes to CDS again tonight. This time the famed tracer of lost persons investigates the death of a man who owns an old curiosity shop, and who has been murdered by one of his items of merchandise, an antique battle axe.

Join Mr. Keene just a little later tonight on most of these same CDR stations for murder in the old Curiosity Shop. And now we return you to the lineup. Well, let me know. I want a lift. Two in the mornings long enough to work. I need the bed.

Me too. What's worrying you, Ben? A gang killing? You've been through it before. Sometimes we come up with a killer. Sometimes you know. So? So you sleep on it. As simple as that, eh? Simpler.

Young Hooligan comes to town, knocks over Johnny Toronto. What's come, fine? Oh, I know. So you sleep on it. Man. You're still trying to alibiate, he gain a... He said he was framed. A young hood, his gun at the scene of the crime.

Aw, don't get philosophical about a punk like that. Why was Ginny Breen killed, man? I hang her on. She rubbed noses with Hooligan's. She could have come to me five years ago and I would have told her what happened.

Maybe I couldn't have said what, Ali? But there would have been an Ali in it. We've got to find out who killed him, man. We will. And who killed Johnny Taran? Eddie Gaynor. I don't know.

I really don't know, man. How can you not know? Taranto runs everything in this town that's got a fast dollar strong to it. He buys lots with these fast dollars, most anything he wants. Let's not kid ourselves.

Taranto owns his part of this town. Someone wants it high as Eddie Gaynor to kill him. Let's not kid each other, Ben. I'll drop you off, man. That's late hours, you boy. What's on your mind, Tobin?

What's on my mind, he says. What's on a lawyer's mind at a time like this? A place like this? A boy's like you? Stop jingling those coins, Tobin. All right. What's on your mind? Read it.

Read it and pop a tear. A writ. Ebeus corpus, boys. Release it again, huh? Rit says so. I'll wait for him at the death. Sweetwell. What's stupid. I'll go on with your education, Ben. Eddie, gain his just been strong.

People with conveys. Don't say it, don't say it. Come on, I'll take you home. What are you talking about? I walked into my lollie.

Oh, I'm Murray. Murray used cars. Your name, please say? Ben Guthrie. Thanks, Mr. Guthrie. I take your name because it is unknown when you might be in the market for a used car. I know your name. It's like you're dealing with an old friend.

You'll find him like this? Just the way you see him sitting there in the front seat. Like he was real. Like he was admiring the dashboard of this luxurious bargain in a used car. I hello'd him went into my spirit.

You couldn't tell he was dead. Well now I'll tell you, Mr. Guthrie. Some of the suckers I get in here, it's hard to tell. But this one looks so sold. I thought he was alive and intelligent. I even handed him my ballpoint fountain.

This man's any gainin'. Why didn't you call the police? Well, finding a dead man all shot up in one of your better used car bargains that takes a little mulling over friend after I mowed I was going to call you for sure on it that you say this man said he gained her I've been reading about in the paper well

what do you know well what do you know about that Tobin we still haven't been able to find him still can't understand why you should take off like he did lose himself a client of his was found murdered in a used car lot maybe maybe Tobin was a shame. Maybe he heard we'd want a question. Criminal oil like that. Maybe something will

come up. Keep looking. I've got to make this line up. I didn't know he was enough. What you say to him? Just did he want to see the sights of the city, tour of the spot. Have a good time. Number 26. Mooney Roger. Believe that's the man, Sergeant. I believe you're a Sergeant. Yes, I'm sure of it. Sergeant Graham, send that man to my office for interrogation.

The woman too. Right. I look awful. He closed.

It fit me like a bag. I can't help it, Lieutenant. I felt conspicuous all during that line of ho. It'll pass. You're getting to be a good police woman, Prince. I did good. I did good, huh?

You're a dead Mooney. Just fine. I want to tell you, Miss. When you're off duty, not being a police woman, hold on to your purse tighter. There's guys like me for real on the street cars.

What have you got, Mooney? I'm a good stoolie, huh? Yes, I told you. The lady, the mister, she's ain't Mooney. You're good, Julie. Yeah. Ha ha. It's covered when I arrange for the cops to pick me up so the boys won't know my true profession, so I can stay alive.

So much shooting lately. Yeah. What have you got? You're looking for a lawyer, Tobin. Mm-hmm. Run the fairish wheel at the Bay Shore park. He's got a little room underneath the hotel. There, huh? You might try that, Lieutenant.

Once Tobin did my friend a big favor. Parsony, rap. You might cry there. You're a good student, E-Monee. Ha ha ha. You're not a welcome sight to me, boys. You won't mind my saying, it's like your faces.

Ah, Tobin, that hurts. Haven't we always cooperated with you? You walk in jingling coins, you ask us to release a boy. We release him just because you ask us. You have to be glad to see it.

Sure, Tobin. We made it so easy for Eddie Gaynor to get killed. We thought you'd want to thank us. That's why we looked you up. I had nothing to do with killing that boy. Absolutely nothing.

Quite the reverse. Reverse? That means we're trying to save this life. Is that what it means to open? Well, answer me. It must mean something else, something. You're wasting your time, boy. I studied the law real hard.

That's why I know about things like this. I'll leave them and waste time. Where did it get you studying hard? You've got to mention a three car garage, servants to feed you pressure pants, and you end up under a ferris wheel.

Maybe it's this, Matt. Maybe it's just that he likes to hide under a ferris wheel. Other people ride, he hides. It's just like you say for him. But there's one thing we don't understand, Tobin.

Why do you like to hide? You're all clear like you say what's the need. I forgot. Maybe you thought no one would notice how Eddie was killed. It's how you got him out on a wrist so he could be killed.

I forgot. But in headquarters you'll remember, ain't Tobin? So fix the crease in your pants and let's go. Yeah, come on, let's go. How can you stand the noise of that wheel going round and round over your head.

A thing like that to drive a man back. Put the loose change in your pocket, Tobin. It'll get in the way of the cops. They're making a big mistake, boys. But we'll live. It'll be like you'll make a mistake and you'll die.

That's the difference between us. There's one other thing we don't understand, Tobin. Eddie Geener was almost sure to be executed. Why did the Cindy could have him released? Wouldn't it have been cheaper to let the state kill Eddie for him?

The cops too tight, Tobin? I'll make a deal with you, boys. You know better. No deal. I'll offer it anyway. You can consider it. There's no loss as you can't consider it. So? You said a man like me makes a mistake. He gets killed.

He was all right. You don't know. Riddoo's Tobin. All I want for what I give you is protection. You've got to promise you'll do your best to keep me from getting murdered. Wherever you get to Guillen.

I was Johnny Toronto's friend. I tried to make something up to him. I didn't want him dead. Who'd in? Best of promise. All right, kind heart, I'll tell you anyway. Eddie gain him a spring because someone wanted Johnny dead.

Johnny was killed and Eddie was the perfect pigeon. It was my own idea to get Eddie released. I thought Johnny would like that for me to use this someone's pigeon to avenge Johnny's death. This someone killed Johnny.

Who? Ruby Lloyd. And the girl? Ruby Lloyd. And Eddie? Ruby Lloyd. He killed me too, he could find me. Prove it to us, Tobin. Oh, we'll get you to the phone. You'll call Ruby. Tell him he doesn't have to look for you anymore.

You'll be at Toronto's office in an hour. You don't believe me, huh? You'll protect me? If we have to, you'll have to. Sure you'll be all right, Ben. Oh, I like it here, man. I like Toronto's swivel chair.

No squeaks. Air foam. It's got a rich feel about it. How do you open a punny bang? Hmm? In Toronto's punny bang. How did you open a punny bang? Never mind. I got it. I don't get it.

I thought I was going to be the pigeon. Uh-uh. Look, Ben. What do you want to be a hero? Ruby Lloyd expects to meet Tobin here, doesn't he? I just want to surprise him. I didn't realize you boyed him.

Take him out of here, man. Hold him on a... Well, he'll tell you what you hold him on. An open charge. He'll make it. Take me away, officer. He sure been. You sure Ben? On your way out to nothing nice.

All right. Open.

Open. Did I scare the pennies out of your hand, Tobin? Did I hurt you, Ben? I only want to kill you. Let's forget Nettie Geener released. Let's forget Naway the first time. Let's make sure you don't get away again.

Drop it, Ruby. Yeah, huh? Drop it. You're covered. Prove it, Jim. I've got you covered, Ruby. Behind you. You don't believe? Look over your shoulder. Three murders, but then you can only die once. Ruby, let's go.
