:10:01
But we don't want
Intelligence in this.
:10:05
I regret to say, sir, yes.
That's right, sir. I refuse.
:10:12
The last address Yale had for Preston
was a town I'd never heard of.
:10:18
Welcome to Gulf City, Mr. Murdock.
:10:21
Murdock...
Yes, a room is reserved for you.
:10:24
Nobody knew I was coming.
:10:26
- Warren Murdock, and from St. Louis.
- I don't get it, but I'll take it.
:10:32
It's our best. The gentleman
who telephoned insisted.
:10:35
- Then it's for me, all right.
- Front, boy.
:10:44
Geronimo, the paratroopers'jump call.
It was Johnny, all right.
:10:49
We could read each other's minds.
:10:52
He knew I'd want to help. He'd seen
me look at the back of his pin.
:11:02
Will call later, the message said.
:11:05
That was 10 hours ago.
How long is "later"?
:11:08
What to do in a hot wind, smelling
of jasmine except wait and sweat...
:11:13
... and prime the body to sweat more?
A phone directory might help.
:11:18
I'd never heard of Johnny
speak of any relatives...
:11:21
... but I was ready to try anything.
:11:25
"Prendergast, Prescott, Prestwood."
:11:28
Stalled again, like a jeep
on synthetic gas.
:11:34
48 hours since he'd called
and no word.
:11:37
I'd pitched the Cardinals
into the pennant...
:11:41
... and set the Red Sox down
in the World Series.
:11:44
Suddenly, Johnny's service record
came to me like a photograph.
:11:50
He'd enlisted October 11, 1943.
:11:53
Whatever jam he'd got in
must have been just before that.
:11:57
It might have made the papers.
