Broadway's My Beat, from Times Square to Columbus Circle, the gaudiest, the most violent, the lonesomest mile in the world. Broadway's My Beat, with Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover.
The winds of January begin their unraveling, and Broadway shivers in doorways. submits to the lingering cold touch of their passing without regret, huddling against it, turning it back to it. But the wilderness of steel and stone, draped with glitter, whispers on the darkness. And Broadway tries again, ventures out, digs down, finds the currency of nighttime, once more lays its bets against the dealers of night. Neon is the red and black is the shadows and the numbers of rooms. Three flights up into the hall where a smile waits, where a tear... It's spinning, kid. Make your play. This could be it. And the dealers pay off in another way. The man who wipes his hands in a bar apron offers you one. If you'd ever been here before, you wouldn't say this was the same place, mister.
This time of night, other nights, my little place of business is alive, teeming with frolic. What changed it tonight? The frolickers was driven away. Yeah, I can see that. Come on, wait what I got for you in the back room. Just wait. A thing to see. My back room, my cribbage room. Ain't it a shambles, mister? Who is this man? Worst shambles of all, ain't he? Russ Warner, citizen of Chicago. Two years ago, when he dropped by for a visit, he looked in better health. He dead, mister? No, shoulder wound. The bullet almost tore it apart. He's lost a lot of blood. Why didn't you call an ambulance? I did, I did. I was laying myself odds who would get here first. You won. All right. Tell me what happened. Yeah. Russ walks into my place of business, don't even pass a how-to-do, just asks for the cribbage room.
I give it to him because no one else was in here. Maybe an hour later, another man walks in, asks for the cribbage room. I give it to him. All of a sudden, bing, bang, boom, I got a bleeding man and four bullet holes in my plaster. Look, look. You see, count them. There's one and another. This one had a water pipe. Who was the other man? An utterly complete stranger. Tell me, Mr... With personal damages like this, should I go on living? And a few minutes after that, the men salaried by the city to measure violence, photograph it, calibrate it. The men from technical, also the white-coated boys with stretcher and the remarks tailored to fit the occasion. Havoc and Russ Warner were being handled professionally.
So leave there, go home. And the next morning, back to headquarters, down the hall and into the office. Two men are waiting for you. Morning, Danny. Mugman. This is Lieutenant Clover, Russ. Hiya. Apologize to shaking with the left hand.
