That was a shot that killed Harry Lyon. He died in a seward beneath Sienna. And those of you know who saw the movie The Third Man, Yes, that was the end of Harryline, but it was not the beginning. Harryline had many lives, and I can recount all of them.

The price if my hatred comes pretty high. But for money and hate, lyme goes anywhere. Lovely lady read on comfortable business would be made as pain, as as possibleness, girl as a pleasure. A dark Irish type with eyes the mood and color of the restless channel waters, and hair as blue black as the proverbial raven's wing. Began to enjoy myself. My waiting game is gonna pay off through an old enemy. It was a fine evening for

Aren't you in the wrong state? Still the same old are insulting night me? You're the man I'm supposed to help.

To help me.

That's good, you begging me for help, all right? Sing you a sad song, hadly, old man about the beast you must feed you? No, don't I always know, Governor, knowing who was after your official scalp, I realized you to undoubtedly come to me for help. He was one poison as they had to do for another, and made myself available.

You found me.

You mean you knew it all the time, even downstairs.

You knew in general, Deonora, though I neither knew the sordid details nor the price to be paid for my services.

Thank you, h.

O.

You who you've seen, or even lyme believes the man in those cursive pictures as we it's very interesting.

Who's the lady?

How should I know?

How?

Come on, our governor, official manners, or in this case even unofficial manners, the man that you at least know the name of your female or companion. As an American etiquette deteriorated at the point that you summoned such creatures with a hey, you miss the limel.

Have you know that Governor Hadley is not the man in those.

Pictures, and good little girl should never never tell lies, nor hang it all.

She's telling the proof line. I never frequent such club as those pictures show. I'm here, Yeah, look at this one. Have you recognized on you covered?

The yes, Cato Cato, the Robert Baron Mara's instincts, but not always his performance.

He's a bit clumsy.

Who wish Kate Gambler award heater.

Graft such dear nostalgic words you almost make me home, said Governor.

Would be sensible line.

Can you imagine me in such company at any time, particularly with an election coming.

Up next morning?

Unless you're even more scupid? You used to be James, but then everything is possible.

Really missed the line this is in?

But cameras don't lie.

You above anyone else should know better than that line.

How many times have you faked the picture to gain your own intrusha governor? But then I always do things the hard way.

You told Norah that yourself.

You're hard to be your victims.

Oh, but this isn't getting us any place, no.

Matter what else you may choose to think of me, lyme, you know my term in office has been.

Clean in so far as prove is concerned the incorruptible Governor had However.

These pictures prove extremely embarrassing.

Or Man, the untouchable Hadley seems to have been taken me.

I don't know much about you missed the line, except that you hate Governor Hadley. Now he's asking for your help, no matter what happened in the past between you.

Please help me.

He's willing to pay. He said your hated came high. Wasn't this offer high enough for Nora?

That's quite all right, Governor.

I admire honestying, loyal, even though I don't approve of it. Of believing, Come here, Noura, what came and should stand right before me? Rang into my eyes straight my eyes answer your question.

Well, mister lymewody is if I were the governor and you and my secretary, would you be as honest as loyal?

As honest? Yes, as loyal.

I see why the great concern about these pictures and is sure that your indiscretions are.

That importance you are going to help me. I'm considering it.

Then you know those pictures are important to him. Cato's going to use them. To ruin me. Why he wants control of my state, either his crooked syndicate moves in or he sends these pictures to every newspaper in the state.

On the evil the election.

Through miss Cato's improved he is. It's almost worthy me.

I never expected you to understand lam, but I thought the fee might make it worth you a while.

Reelection means a great deal to me.

I worked hard for my office.

I don't want to win or lose because of a hoodlum like Cato. And I don't want my wife, my family subjugated to this kind of smear campaign.

They don't be spoken like a true family man, an American and a politician.

But why I trust you?

That sounds funny.

That's the true.

I was being taken for a ride, a long one, a silent one. Once we got maccart Trubis stopped talking. You know, I was not in the mood to make any conversation. I had my tiger by the table. I waited for his move, waiting, mccarzy, this is gonna take long, Hey boss, I am.

Waiting after a nocterneral tour.

You bringing to a ruin like this, really, cater I First, you're doing pretty well.

I'm doing fine, Harry.

Place on the state line, not too far from the capitol, makes it handy for you and the governor who waiting.

To see tumas well.

This is a surprise Handley. Who is this?

The face is Jim Handley and the voice is almost identical inside. Look, come on, Harry, and I'll buy you that drink.

I promised.

Drinks some house.

Yes, yes, huh, I could use one.

Sit down, Harry.

I didn't think i'd see you so soon again, Troops, what happened is shut up.

For the drinks? Oh in sure, sure, Trush.

Now, Harry, I'm open for business, all right? To risk the obvious. This isn't the governor Handy?

Hey, you're better.

The Happy Boys were identical twins. Look here was the black sheep of the family. Also was supposed to have died in a train wreck fifteen years ago.

Identical twins. The oldest picture in the world.

Luke was the man in those pictures. So simple it always works. Even fool you, Harry.

Oh, I can be fool, be fool.

Luke's living jealousy and whiskey ever since he's seen the accident. He crossed my past several years ago, just as I was figuring how to move into jim happy state.

He was an answer from heaven or the devil. That's all I had luck.

I can give you a fat fee, Harry, and I find you has to pay off your own grudge against the governor.

Since when is benevolence become one of your characteristics?

Kater? What about this that you only page?

As you know, I've already made the first contact of the governor. Do you know?

I know takes one to catch one, Harry. As I said, I got Jim over the battle. I know we sup bought you to get the pictures from me. But if you come into my deal, you not only make yourself some money, like you can put the final squeeze on.

The good government.

But I think you set me up as a clay page, and I oh man sending me to make the actual transactions so you can move your sand to get into the state.

Well, I'm caught with my blackmail down. No, Harry, you know I wouldn't do that. Coin a cliche about thieves, Cater.

I know how much is the governor paying to get these negative fifteen thousand?

I had a four parton fifteen thousand?

Why truebish, you only gave me five hundred dollars to pose in those times.

I'll give you twenty five thousand to come in with me.

I only five in advance half of it the rest when the dealer is clanchedestion here truebish.

If you're sure quick money around, so.

On my way, and I will need a percentage of my gross to take when I'm in the state.

It'll be like an annuity.

You listen to me, crewis you cut me in on this big dear you're talking about?

If you don't, I'll go to your what Luke.

Nothing to it. I didn't mean that. I was always trying to Oh, what are you going to do? Truers, I.

Take us rap and let us working out.

He talks too much. No, I pollish not to talk.

You need me, I'll never God, No, no.

Well, what's your ant, sayer, Harry? Do all of your business partners get that treatment?

No?

Man, No, of course not. He's always asking bread. But now ask, for instance, why we're clean up in happy state. Slop machines, numbers, racket, dope protection. And that's just the beginning, Harry. Keep us five years and we'll be making money from every man. Woman are challenging United States from there to you, Jee Stalin as an amateur, I don't think I'll settle for a their percentage. Cato, No either, I was going to be fifty to fifty or I won't come over

Plaza, but about his Hadley's secretary.

I spent a great deal of time and effort on getting a complete file of your misdemeanors, Cato. If I failed, a contractor copies of said file and immediately be sent to all state and federal law enforcement offices. You have pitiful ten times will be forgotten in the headlines about Troubius Cato. You wouldn't want to be named public Enemy number one.

Fifty to fifty eighties.

Nor good help girl, what happened?

Harry?

Lyme?

He's with Kato now? At least he top with him last night. By this time he might be dead.

Good Why don't.

You call the police the FBI? You're the governor to something.

You too, Laura? What do you mean? The notorious lime charm?

The man's brutal, marciless, vindictive, lives only for himself.

Yet when he wishes, he can hide all this with a choke of magnetism.

Great fascination. He's blinded you Norah.

No, I hate. He's a horrible man.

I oh, I don't know what he is.

It's been terrible, all of it, seeing Kato waiting all night for Harry's call, not hear in coming.

I know, my dear, believe me. I'm sorry.

Yes, mister Harry Lane him you do here some of them in vise.

What can it mean?

I don't know.

Good afternoon, Handley, Laurah, mister Lyon, and who is Kato?

Surely you haven't forgotten me, Governor Kato. I told you once and for all. Be too hasty, mister Governor.

My proposition is said, good that mister Lyon is coming on the deal with me.

What would you agree to? Lion?

Is this this Doug telling the truth?

I bought certain contracts for your signature, Governor. They're allarmis to Cato, four scale operations in your state.

Oh no, you wouldn't.

I don't believe it, not even you.

The price of the negatives, Governor, Oh, you'd better give me those negatives now, Kato prove our good face to Governor Hadley.

What good faith? Oh?

But here you are, Harry. The negatives and the rest of the pictures.

All nicely tied with a pretty ribbon, Governor. A ribbon is blue as Norah's eyes.

How small can you get now?

When you signed mister Canado's contracts, Governor, I'll delivered.

The negatives to mistake me.

That's right.

Just sign on the dotted line, Hadley, and everybody you'll be happy.

Should out because I trusted a rat.

Here's your pen, Governor, and here back on, get all the way live.

What what are you doing? Down on the floor, Governor, down on the floor.

Done you crossing me?

Old of Cato? It's my dear.

Oh yeah, I suggest you call an ambulance, young lady, there's been an attempt.

On Governor had his life. Goodness, and keep those people.

Say that, say that I had to care cater.

To take over his very lucrative business myself.

I'll keep these negatives, Governor.

These incriminating negatives, in my position, like the sword of Damocles, will be suspended of your uneasy head from now on call them with Harry Lyons, a Newersy governor. And now, if you will excuse me.

I am might to expected this, and I was beginning to think you were a human being.

At the time I left the Capitol building, the stars were out the stars. I was reached by hard ways I searched for, like the alley alle that was dark enough, lonely enough. Yeah, mm hmm, that's gonna do well better than over the ribbon, blue blue ribbon, better to burn.
