Dragnet, the documented drama of an actual crime. For the next 30 minutes in cooperation with the Los Angeles police department, you will travel step by step on the side of the law through an actual case transcribed from official police files. From beginning to end, from crime to punishment. Dragnet is the story of your police force in action. It was Monday, June 8th. It was warm in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out a homicide detail. My partner is Frank Smith. The boss is Captain Warman. My name's Friday. I was on my way into the office and it was 8.03 a.m. when I checked into room 42. Homicide. Joe? Yeah. Back here in the Skipper's office. Ray Geesey wants to talk to you. All right. Morning, Joe. Hi, Ray. What do you got? Suicide. Anything on it? Here's the report. Team from the business office went out last night. Get on it right away, will you? Right, Ray. Let's go, huh? Yeah. Want to check this stuff before we get started? Might as well give us an idea what we got to do. What's the report say? There you go. Let's see. According to this, business office got a call at 2.30 this morning. Landlady out in the Westlake Park District called in. Said that this young girl committed suicide. They got an ID on her? No. They got her listed as Jean Doe, number 17. There's a description here. Better check it with missing persons, huh? How'd the landlady happen to find the body? Well, according to the report, she heard the water running in the apartment. Finally went up to see what it was. She knocked on the door. Nobody answered. She opened it and went in. Found the body. Well, the girl didn't live in the apartment then. No. The place is rented to a Ross Mitchell. Anything on him? No. Because he wasn't home. He was checked through R and I. No make on him. How about prints on the victim? No go. Checked him out. Nothing on her here. We can send him on to Washington. Yeah. Then he found a suicide note. A copy of it here. What's it say? Ross, I've tried to make you understand. Nothing seems to do any good.  But you don't want to try to make a go of it. I know this doesn't solve anything. It's the only way I can think of. Any signature? No. The report says that the original copy is over at the crime lab for processing. Well, I guess we better start with the landlady, huh? It's the best lead we got. Glendo and Bates are out there now. The place was staked right away. Friday, you want to take two? Right. Thanks, Ray. It's Friday time. Yeah. Uh-huh. No, we just got it. Is that right? Okay, Max. No, have him wait there, will you? No, we'll be right over. Right. Thank you. Well, it's a little break. Max over at the coroner's office says they know who the girl is. Yeah. Her father just identified the body. Eight, 14 a.m. We left the city hall and we went over to the Hall of Justice. We met the victim's father, Mr. Robert Andrews Paul. He told us that there could be no mistake. The body was that of his daughter, Gloria Z. Paul. The attendant had given him some smelling salts, and after introducing us, he'd left to close off the viewing room. I don't understand why she'd do it. None of it makes sense. Well, when did you see your daughter last, Mr. Paul? Saturday afternoon. That was the last time. I never saw her again. She was gone Saturday night and all day yesterday, isn't it? Yeah. You hear from her at all? No. Aren't you worried about her at all? No, sometimes she doesn't come home, stays with a girlfriend, but when I didn't hear from her last night, I got worried, started calling around. She'd say where she was gone when she left? Told me she was going over to see Peggy. Said the two of them were going to a show and that she'd be home for dinner, sure. Who was this Peggy? Peggy Rockwell, a friend of Gloria's. Have you talked to her? What? I say, have you talked to this Peggy since your daughter disappeared? Yes, I called her last night. I talked to her then. I was most out of my mind. I didn't know what to do. I talked to her last night, she didn't know. Did your daughter know anybody named Ross Mitchell? Ross Mitchell? No, I don't think I've ever heard the name. Why do you ask that? I just wondered. You know something about this you're not telling me, is that it? No, sir, we don't... Well, it must be something like that. You don't just come up with a name like that out of thin air. You got to have a reason. Now, look, I'm her father. I got a right to know. All night sitting there waiting for the phone to ring, calling her friends, thinking she's been in an accident, imagining all kinds of things. If you know something, you should tell me. I've got to know. How am I going to tell her mine? Poor woman's almost dead with worry. She doesn't know about this. All she knows is that the baby's gone. That's all. The baby's gone. Glory is dead. I don't know what to do. All right, Mr. Paul, try to take it easy. I'm sorry if you got a cigarette. Yes, sir. Here you go. Here, I'll give you a light. I'm sorry about that. It's all right, sir. We understand. And do you think you can give us an address where we can talk to this Peggy Rockwell? Yes, she works at a restaurant over on Seventh. I've got a home address, too, if you want it. Yes, sir. We hope you'll understand this, Mr. Paul. We don't mean any offense here. What's that? Did your daughter have any steady boyfriends that you know about? No, I don't think so. I know when that she went with steady. No one man she liked more than the others? I think there was. I don't know who. A mother asked her about it a couple of times. Wanted to know who the fellow was, but Glory had never said. Just said that it wasn't serious. It didn't matter. I'd seem to get along with this man, would you know? All right, I guess. I told you, I never saw him. I didn't know who he was. But whenever Glory had a date with him, she acted like it was something special. Did your daughter have a job? Not regular. She used to model once in a while, and then maybe she'd pick up a day's working pictures, not much. Can you think of any reason why she'd want to take her own life? No. She seemed pretty happy. Never gave any indication there was anything wrong. Has she been ill lately under a doctor's care? No, not that I know about. Mr. Paul, is it possible she might have been seeing a doctor and you wouldn't know about it? No, her mother would have known. She'd had told me. Now, I'm pretty sure she was feeling all right. Anything about her job that bothered her? What do you mean? Well, was she happy with what she was doing, the kind of work she was doing? Oh, yeah. Glory didn't want a career. She was looking for a husband, one to settle down, raise a family. Well, can you think of anything at all that might make her want to take her own life, as I ask you about her? I can't understand it. None of it makes any sense to me. Where she was found, she didn't know anybody in that part of town. I don't know what she'd be doing over there. Could she drink? I don't think I understand. Well, did she drink much, sir? Bars, cocktail lounges? No, she didn't. Now, Gloria was a good girl. She didn't drink or smoke. She was a good girl, and I don't understand all this. First this thing with Ross, and now you want to know if she drinks. I don't know what you're trying to get at, but I don't like it. You're trying to make Gloria something that she isn't. She's a good girl, always has been. Just a home and family. That's all she wanted, nothing more. I don't know why you're asking me all these questions. I'm her father. You're the police. It's up to you to find the reason. That's your job. Not to come around and say things about my girl. I'm sorry. We're not saying anything, Mr. Paul. You're trying to make me believe that Gloria wasn't a nice girl. I know different. I raised her since she was a baby. Gave her all the care I could. I don't know why she'd do a thing like this. You don't? No. Why ask me these questions? Well, sir, you said it yourself. You're her father. We continue to talk to the father of the victim. From him, we got a list of the girl's friends, the address, and the names of the people that she worked for. While we were talking to him, he was unable to give us any ideas of why his daughter, Gloria Paul, might want to take her own life. He insisted that he didn't know anybody or any one of his daughter's acquaintances named Ross Mitchell. A telephone call was put through to his wife, but she was unable to tell us who the man was. 8.20 a.m. Mr. Paul recovered from the initial shock, and he went home. 8.39 a.m. We drove over to the rooming house where Gloria Paul had been found. On the way, we stopped to call the crime lab if they'd been able to come up with anything and the dead girl's effects to help us. Lieutenant Lee Jones at the lab told us that they hadn't finished their investigation yet. 8.50 a.m. We arrived at the house and talked with the landlady, Selma King. It's terrible. Poor little thing. You haven't seen Ross Mitchell yet, has he? No, he hasn't come in. I told the officers last night that I didn't expect him until noon today. Have you seen the girl before? Once in a while. She'd come in with Ross, wait for him, and then they'd go right out. Did you see her last night, sir? I told the officers that were here last night. That I didn't. Didn't you talk to them at all? Yes, ma'am. We have a report they found, Mrs. King, but we'd like to get some additional facts from you. It seems like a waste of time, but I suppose you have to. Yes, ma'am. Do you have any idea when she might have come in? No, not the slightest. When was the last time you saw Mitchell? Saturday around noon. He came in and told me that he'd be out of town over the weekend, said to me to keep an eye on the place. Yes, ma'am. Did you tell him where he was going? He told me he was going to visit an assistant director friend of his over in Larkin Yardah. Did you say what the friend's name was? No, they're working on a picture together. Ross just met him the other day. Asked him out for the weekend. Ross was very good at making friends. You know where he's working? No. Ross just said it was a sea adventure. Doing it in full color. 3D, too. I guess it's going to be quite a spectacle. I didn't have all the gimmicks in my day. Ma'am. I didn't have 3D or the other things. In my day, we acted. We knew how to act from the heart. These youngsters are good flack to make a star out of anybody. Things have changed. Here. This one. That's me with the pith helmet. This was made over on Catelyn Island. We were shooting a jungle picture. We acted. No doubles for us, real actors. When was this, ma'am? A few years ago. Now why are you asking all these questions about Ross? Well, a note the girl left was addressed to him. That doesn't mean anything. Just some love-sick girl. Doesn't mean Ross had anything to do with it. How'd you happen to find the body? I went to bed about 10.30. They were running one of my old movies on TV, and I stayed up to see it. You happened to catch it. A thing called The Floods Will Come. Made it over at Catalina. It's Todd Nick Benton, real movie idol. Here's one of the stills from the picture. That's ma'am. Here's the whole company. That's me. And that's Nick with the patees. He'd put on a little weight. I remember he had to do road work while we were there to trim down. Held the company up for a week. The grand picture. They didn't do it right on television, though. Looked like horny. I guess the way they ran it through the machines. You know, we all looked pasty. Even Nick. Yes, ma'am. Would you go on, please? Well, after I saw the rest of the picture, I went out to the kitchen, got a bowl of shredded wheat to eat in bed. He came back to the bedroom and I heard this noise. What noise was that, ma'am? Like somebody was running water in one of the taps. Went on and on. But he soon started to bother me. I couldn't understand it. Finally, I went up to see what was. Noise came from Ross's apartment. I'd knock, but there wasn't any answer, so I unlocked the door and went in. I thought something was wrong. And that's when I saw her. I see. She was lying on bed. Right away, I called the police. Before you went up, did you hear any other noises? Anything out of a struggle, anything like that, maybe? No. Just the water running. Well, how about the shot, ma'am? You hear that? No, no, I didn't. A lot of shooting in the picture I was watching. Did you touch anything in the room? No, I turned the lights, but that's all. The room was dark when I went in. Just turned on the lights and then I called you. According to our report, there wasn't any purse found in the body. Did you see one when you went in there? I didn't. But if I had, you'd gotten it. But you're trying to say that I stole her purse. Is that what you're trying to say? No, ma'am. That's not what we're trying to say. I've got a reputation in this town. I know a lot of big people. Is that going to have you come in here and call me a thief? Well, we didn't mean to offend you, ma'am. Mm-hmm. Who has a key to Mitchell's place besides him, ma'am? No one. He's got the only one. I don't like a lot of keys to the rooms out. I tell all the tenants that. Have you got any idea how the girl might have gotten into the room? No. Do you know who the gun belonged to? Yes, it was Ross's. You pretty sure about that, are you? Yes, I saw it when he moved in, commented on it then. He said that he'd had it since he was a kid, kept it out of sentiment. Mm-hmm. What's this all about, anyway? You seem to think that there's something wrong. Is that it? No, ma'am. It's just that in things like this, we have to make a complete investigation. You can understand. Oh, well, I'd want to do all I can to help you, but I do have an appointment. If there's nothing more you want, I'd like to be going. That's all right, Miss Keen. If we want to talk to you, we'll be able to reach you here. Yes, right here. We'll give you a call to tell you about the inquest. Am I going to have to be there? Yes, ma'am. You and Mitchell. Why him? That was his apartment, ma'am. But he didn't have anything to do with it. Well, maybe so, ma'am, but he'll still have to be there. It's not fair. A thing like this can ruin him. By the time the papers get through, whether he'll be finished, it can ruin his career. He doesn't know anything about it. He won't be able to tell you anything. Are you wrong there, ma'am? What? He's got a lot to explain. We went upstairs and met the officer, staked out in the room, and looked at the apartment where the girl had been found. 9.20 a.m. We gave our car to Thelma Keen and asked her to call us if she thought of anything else. We also asked her to notify us immediately in the event she heard from Mitchell. The stake out on the room continued. 9.52 a.m. We drove over to the coffee shop on West 7th Street to talk to the girl's friend Peggy Rockwell. We found her in the back of the place, typing out the day's menus. What about Gloria? Something wrong? When was the last time you saw her, Miss? Well, let's see. Saturday night, she stayed at my house. Left about noon on Sunday. I had the day off. Figured that maybe we'd do something, but Gloria said she had something to do. Last I saw her was on Sunday morning. You know a man named Ross Mitchell? That bum. Why do you say that, Miss Rockwell? Because he is real no good. You pretty friendly with Miss Paul? Gloria thought so. It turned out he was just using her. Well, how do you mean? I thought at first she could get him some jobs. It turned out when he could do better, he dropped her. They were going to get married, and then he thought he could do better, so he dropped her. Mm-hmm. Say, do you mind if I go ahead with these menus? The boss will be sore if I don't get through with them.  We can talk while I'm doing it. Yes, ma'am. I took a course once. Touch typing. Didn't think I'd ever use it. Boy, it was eye-fooled. You go right ahead, Miss. Well, this Ross really gave her the rush. Had her take him around, introduce him to her friends. She got him a couple of jobs. She's the one who introduced him to Mike. Mike? Yeah, Mike Cowell. That's Ross's agent. Peggy set it up. She's done just about everything for him. Then the bum acts like this. What do you mean, Miss? Treated her so bad. Say, how do you spell croquettes? Well, I think it's C-I-O-Q-U-E-T-T-E-S. Q-E-T-T-E-S. Turkey. They had roast turkey last night. I don't understand how people can eat them, but we sure sell a lot of them. Did Miss Paul say she was going to see Ross over the weekend? Yeah. She said she had an appointment with him Sunday. He said she'd called him and set it up. You know what time? He just said she wasn't going on like this. Had to be straightened out. I don't blame her. She's told her friends they were going to get married, and at the last minute, Ross had back out. Her family know about Ross? No. Father didn't mind her doing a little work-in-show business, but he didn't want her to marry anyone in it. She thought that if they just got married, then the family'd understand. Joel, yeah. I'll call a crime lab, see if they finish. You know, fine, thanks. How'd Miss Paul and Mitchell seem to get along, man? What do you mean? Well, do they have any arguments or disagreements? Would you know? Not often. Most of the trouble they had was about getting married. Ross kept saying that it wouldn't do him any good to be married now. He thought that it might hurt his career. That's all he thought about. Were you ever present at any of these arguments? Once. We'd gone out on a double date, went to a place down at the beach, had dinner, and then stopped on the way back for a couple of drinks. Ross got pretty drunk on a big thing about his career. Yeah. He went on and on about how hard he'd work, how much the theater meant to him, all that kind of stuff. I see.  He'd kill anyone who'd try to stop him. Yeah, yeah. See you in a minute. Would you excuse me, please? Sure. Uh, just a minute. Um, is there one L or two Ls in broccoli? Just one, man. Oh, thanks. Yeah. Just talked to Lee Jones. Yeah, do you finish up? Yeah. Something's wrong. What's that? He thinks the girl was murdered. You are listening to Dragnet, the authentic story of your police force in action. Years ahead of them all. Chesterfield is years ahead of all cigarettes. Chesterfield quality is highest. Here's the proof. Recent chemical analysis give an index of good quality for the country's six leading cigarette brands. The index of good quality table, which is a ratio of high sugar to low nicotine, shows Chesterfield quality highest. Chesterfield quality highest. 15% higher than its nearest competitor. Chesterfield quality highest. 31% higher than the average of the five other leading brands. Don't you want to try a cigarette with a record like this? Chesterfield. First with premium quality. And best for you. Try Chesterfield today. Regular or king size. 1037 a.m. We drove to the crime lab and talked with Sergeant Jay Allen. He told us that when they checked for powder burns on the body they hadn't found any. They measured the reach of the dead girl and found that it would have been almost impossible for her to have pulled the trigger on the rifle leaving the fingerprints they found on the gun. Water test failed to show any traces of nitrate powder on her hands. They checked the handwriting on the suicide note found in the room against samples of Gloria Paul's writing and found that they didn't match. From their findings they said that it was their opinion that the girl had not killed herself, that she'd been murdered. We went back to the city hall and got a local and an APB on Ross Mitchell. We called the landlady of his rooming house. She hadn't heard from him. 12.30 p.m. We went back to the rooming house and relieved the stakeout. We asked the landlady not to say anything to Mitchell about our being there. 12.45 p.m. Still no sign of the suspect. 1 o'clock. 1.30. Who are you? What are you doing in my place? Come on in. Who are you? Police officers. Come on in. Close that door. Put that suitcase down. What's this all about anyway? What have you guys been doing here? The place is only a corner. You're Ross Mitchell? Yeah, why? You know a girl named Gloria Paul? What's she got to do with it? You know her? Yeah, I know her. When's the last time you saw her? Say, what's this all about? What's all these questions? When was the last time you saw Gloria Paul? Friday night, I guess. Don't you know for sure? All right, Friday night. You haven't seen her since? I told you, the last time was Friday night. You didn't see her Sunday? No. Where were you Saturday and Sunday? Out of town. Where? La Cognata. Can you prove you were there? Why? Can you prove you were there? I don't like all this. You guys coming in here asking a lot of questions. You haven't got any choice. That's what you say. You haven't told me what this is all about. I'm not telling you anything. Will you tell me? Now, you look, Mitchell, understand this. We're not here to pass the time of day. You better come up with some answers quick. Now, who are you with? A friend of mine, a guy named Sid Austin. What's his phone number? Are you going to call him? We've got to check your alibi. Now, what's his number? Won't do any good to call him. Thought you said you were there. I was. Then we've got to call him. Well, he won't be able to tell you anything. He wasn't there. He just let me use his place. There wasn't anybody there. You mean here? That's right. Nobody. You've got the only key, huh? That's right. The landlady's got one, just the two of them. You got any idea how somebody else could get in here? No, why? How well do you know, Gloria Paul? What's she got to do with it? How well do you know her? We used to go together. Anything serious between you? She thought we might get married. How'd you feel about it? I don't think that's any of your business. Maybe it is. How'd you feel about it? I liked her. She was a nice kid. Nothing more. No, now you look. I think it's about time you told me what this is all about. Something to do with Gloria. Is that it? The cigarette? Yeah. Here. Here's a minute. How'd it happen? I thought maybe you could tell us. Why'd you figure that? Where'd you see your last? Up here. In this room? Yeah. When was that? I told you Friday night. Do you have any trouble with her? No. No argument? I told you no. Well, how'd it happen? Can't you tell me? You want a .22 rifle? Yeah. You got bullets for it? Yeah, why? Why do you keep it? Closet over there? You keep it loaded? No, the bullets are on the shelf in the closet. All right, come on, Ross. We better go downtown. What for? I want to talk to you. What for? You got to tell me before I have to go. You got to tell me what you're holding me for. Suspicion to murder. Now, come on. Where are you taking him? Downtown. Why? We want to talk to him.  I don't even know what this is all about. All I know is that Gloria's dead.  What? In your room, Ross. It was suicide. Well, they're arresting me for murder. You can't do that. Ross didn't have anything to do with it. It was suicide. That's what you said? All right. Come on, Mitchell. Well, you can't do that. It was suicide. You want to take him out of the car, Frank? Yeah. You can see that you're making a mistake. He didn't have anything to do with it. He's going to have enough trouble with that girl killing herself in his apartment. You can't arrest him for murder. It was suicide. What are you trying to tell us, ladies? What? Something you want to say here? No. You're making things up. All right. Let's go. Yes. Let's go ahead and take him. Go ahead. He wants to be a star. Let him. Go ahead and take him and serve him right where he treats people. I tried to help him. God knows I tried. Got him to meet a lot of important people, a lot of contacts. You think he was interested? He bet he was. How does he show it? I'll tell you how. He thanks me for all I've done for him by running around, chasing after that young nobody, that Gloria. I tried to reason with her, tried to talk some sense into her. Told her that she couldn't do anything for him. Told her that I could make him a star bigger than anybody. She said she loved him. She doesn't know how to love. You want to go ahead? He came over here all the time, begging Ross to marry. I told her to get out of his life and stay out to leave him alone. He didn't need her. What was all this? Sunday evening, she came here all dressed up. When they're young, they know everything. I'm one of the biggest stars this town ever had. She's a nobody. I know what's good for that boy. Didn't you tell us you didn't see the girl Sunday? Isn't that right? That's what I said. Did you see her Sunday? Yes, I did. She wanted me to let her into Ross's apartment. Told her he wasn't there. She said it didn't make any difference. She'd wait for him. I told her to leave him alone. She didn't understand him. Didn't know how to take care of him. I know the right people. He could have written his own ticket in this town. He could have been big. You don't want him. I killed him. All right. Do you want to get a coke, ma'am? Yes. Doesn't make any difference. I did it to help him. I thought you'd think it was suicide. I didn't think you'd figure anything else. You wrote the note, didn't you? I did. That's what you've got to understand. For him. That was all that counted. He'd married her and he'd been through. I had to stop it. I didn't want to kill her. You can see I couldn't let him marry her. Ross is a fine actor. Real talent. Doesn't come along often. All right, honey. Let's go. He'll understand, won't he? He'll know why I did it. He'll understand. I wouldn't know, ma'am. We'll let you ask him. The story you've just heard is true. The names were changed to protect the innocent. On October 14th, trial was held in Department 89, Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Los Angeles. In a moment, the results of that trial.

Well, Jodi Arias was back on the stand today. She started the morning talking about her troubled past and previous boyfriends who cheated on her. She finally testified how she met victim Travis Alexander at a conference for the company that they both worked for. There was just a crowd of people everywhere and out of the corner of my eye saw somebody walking toward me, kind of fast paced. And I noticed it was a guy and I thought he was going somewhere because he looked like he had a purpose. So I haven't stepped out of the way because I thought he needed to walk past me.  Areas continued to recall how the two became intimate. She claims the day Alexander was killed, he invited her to his mason home for a day of sex that turned violent, forcing her to fight for her life.  Well, the intrigue level over the Jodi Arias case has skyrocketed since she took the stand yesterday. People are dissecting everything from her appearance, her demeanor, her childhood, wondering what exactly is the defense strategy here. Joining me now is David Cantor, a defense attorney who we should point out is not connected to this case. Thanks so much for joining us. Thank you. All right, so let's start with the decision for her to testify. That's usually a gamble, especially because it opens her up to cross-examination. Why have her testify? Well, the defense out of the chute said, he attacked me and I defended myself. You can't establish self-defense without her testimony. In this case, the physical evidence, that being the photographs and other things of that nature is too strong, so she'll have to say why she was in fear of her life. And they got to that question right off the bat. Did you kill Travis Alexander? Is that standard to go straight for the defense claim? Well, in this case, I think it's smarter the defense. Get it out in the open. Yes, I killed him, but here's why I killed him. Now, they're gonna have some problems here because there were 12 photographs taken in a matter of a minute and 46 seconds, which showed this gentleman in the shower for 10 of the photographs appearing to be unfazed that he's being photographed. The 11th, he's looking right at Jody or whoever took the photographs. And then the 12th, he's in the bottom of the tub. So it's gonna be a tough case. Well, and today they talked a lot about the establishing of their relationship, how quickly they became intimate. Why is that so important? That's important to show that she's weak, that he was somewhat dominant, and this is how their relationship started. They're also trying to portray him as a person that hid the way he really was from his religious friends and other coworkers. And that if he hid that from his friends, maybe he hid a violent side also. And yesterday, they spent a lot of time talking about her childhood. How is that relevant to this case? Well, that humanizes her. It also shows that she's been abused by a male figure, that being her father, and that she's somewhat akin to being manipulated and has been abused most of her life, even by her boyfriends. Okay, a lot of folks were focusing, obviously, on her appearance. She has kind of a childlike look to her, very soft spoken. Even the colors that she's wearing, much different from what we first saw initially with her. How does that lend itself to credibility? Well, the jury's looking at her, and they need to say, could this person really shoot somebody twice and stab them 27 times? That is so violent. And if it happened, is she the type that's rough, tattooed, looked like they'd get into fights a lot? Or does she look like the poor victim who was pushed to the breaking point? And I think the defense is doing a good job of presenting her in this light that she's somewhat weak. Now, she did give some interviews in the jail before she ever had a lawyer, and she appeared the same way.  It'll be very interesting as this case continues to present itself. Thank you so much, David. Always a pleasure to see you. Thank you. Thanks, see?


hi guys what is up welcome to my channel so for today's video i'm going to be doing the ultimate high-end makeup starter kit so basically what this video is if you are looking into dabbling into the high-end makeup lines these are the products that are the best of the best the ones that i recommend for starters to begin with so if you're interested in seeing my picks for these products then just keep watching so about a month ago i did my ultimate luxury makeup starter kit that was a collab with my girl Tara it was really fun but i also wanted to do the different ranges in makeup as well because not everybody is looking for luxury so i'm doing just high-end right now so not drugstore products and not luxury products just those mid-range types of brands that you can pick up at Sephora of course you can pick luxury up as well but like 99% of the stuff you can pick about Sephora which i think this video is perfect timing because of the Sephora VIP sale that's coming up so i've already done my recommendations for that but these are also just kind of tried and true products that i would also recommend just things i aren't new that i didn't talk about in my recommendations video but of course i love all of these products and i also highly recommend them for the sale if you are interested in getting started into these high-end makeup lines i will do an affordable and drugstore version as well but i did want to do high-end just because of timing i will link down below my luxury recommendations if you are interested in that but let's get into high-end this was a no-brainer for me the smashbox photo finish primerizer i actually have two but this is the one that i've been using most because i haven't been drinking enough water i'm gonna be honest with myself so my skin has been feeling a little bit more dry so i really like this because it's very lightweight and it's extremely moisturizing it's like a liquidy consistency but if you have dry skin you need this primer this makes the most perfect smooth base underneath makeup so whatever you're going to put on top this kind of just nourishes your skin so that makeup will sit pretty on it so i highly highly highly recommend this but i also kind of will go in and out of phases and one or the other with the two-faced hangover replenishing up face primer i wouldn't say i love one more than the other the difference is how they sit on the skin so both are equally as moisturizing this one is just more liquidy so it makes your skin a little bit more slick whereas this one has a little bit more of a stick to it so i find that maybe makeup will stick on to it a little bit better if you're using a liquidy foundation or foundation that moves around you might want this but honestly both were great they're equally as wonderful and i couldn't pick one over the other because they're both awesome and both of them i'm like running out of so that should tell you something because i never run out of anything foundations i also have to so the first one this one is definitely a tried and true foundation for me i will always have it in my collection it is a repurchase meaning this is not my first bottle this is the makeup forever ultra hd foundation this is just the best of every category of foundation that you would need i think it works great for every different skin type it's just the middle of everything it is not a dewy foundation but it's not a matte foundation it's not full coverage but it's not light coverage it's in the middle medium and it's just a solid foundation it lasts a long time it looks really good and it just is an easy foundation to go to that's reliable so i have to recommend this foundation it is a wonderful foundation that's never going to let you down it's kind of boring you know it's not a new release it's a really really old foundation but it has stayed in my collection for such a long time because it's a really good foundation it's the foundation i'm wearing now just overall very well-rounded if you want something with some more coverage that's more a dewy the abh luminous foundation i really really have been enjoying quite a lot this one is kind of the tried and true if you will but to kind of mix it up and add a newer product in case you were looking for something that was a bit more new i really enjoy this foundation some people don't but if you like a really dewy foundation and it does have really good coverage i definitely recommend it i personally have had nothing but good experiences with it so when i want something dewy that's also going to cover this is a foundation that i go for concealer i only have one because in my opinion this is like one of the best concealers this is the two-faced born this way multi-use sculpting concealer i use mine in the shade light beige and you guys this concealer is amazing it's actually been a while since i've used it because i've been trying out comparing a lot of newer concealers and i grabbed this baby out for this video today and i forgot how good it is it is like heart shape tape in my opinion but actually moisturizing underneath the eyes i find heart shape tape to be extremely drying and cracky and just emphasizing texture and all of the stuff i don't want to be emphasized because it's so dry this is perfect it has a lot of coverage and it never ever ever looks cakey under the eyes i find it to be a very very smoothing this is just all around a great concealer i forgot how good it was it's been so long since i've used it but 110 recommend this concealer it's definitely one of my top fives in my entire collection probably top three honestly my favorite high end setting powder is the huda beauty easy bake loose setting powder i have mine in the shade pound cake now if you don't like scented items or fragranced items this one does have a slight fragrance to it but honestly i just love the powder for this i find it to be very blurring on my skin i love it mostly to set my under eyes i think it does a really nice job of just sinking into the concealer and just mixing very well with concealers and setting it and having the concealer not move it just smooths the under area and makes your under eyes look perfected and then if you just lightly dust the rest of your face it does its job but now it's looking into my collection there wasn't really a lot of high end powders that i was in love with i mostly love luxury and then my maybelline fit me powder the formulation of this reminds me a lot of the fit me powder because it's a little bit more of a dense powder so it fills in all of the lines on your face so if you like the maybelline fit me you might also like this one as well it's just so blurring and soft and just makes your skin look really good so highly highly highly recommend this one going into bronzer products i have two cream contours that i enjoy cream contours are one of my favorite steps in my makeup routine because there really is nothing more natural to sculpt your face than a cream bronzer cut type of product that i have two and the reason is because i couldn't pick one over the other they're equally as good so the first one is from milk makeup and this is the baked bronzer stick this is so good so this one is a stick form it's a little bit more matte than the one i'm going to mention this is just like the perfect neutral toned color it's not too warm and it's not too cool it's right in the middle it just acts as a shade there that both sculpts and warms up your face and it blends really beautifully back in the day i used to be very skeptical about these types of sticks but this one is absolutely amazing and it spreads with ease i also love the hood of beauty tan tour contour and bronzer cream i have mine in the shade fair this is also another incredible product the way i apply this is with my beauty blender i just pat this in and put it all over my face with the milk makeup one i also will take my beauty blender and just rub it off the top but there's something a little bit easy i feel like about just opening this and popping it in both of them are equally as good i can't really tell you which one to choose over the other one thing that hood of beauty has over the milk is the milk only has two shades of the bronzer stick and hood of beauty has at least five i believe so one or the other is great but hood of beauty has more shades so i love both truly i do also have one powder bronzer to talk about with you guys and this was my most recent monthly favorites because i kind of rediscovered it and it's just so good it's one of my favorite high end bronzers and this is the two-faced sweethearts bronzer in the shade sweet tea it has a little bit of a sheen to it i use it today to set my hood of beauty tan tour and it's just the perfect shade it blends into the skin so beautifully it is so natural because of that very light natural sheen and it's the perfect kind of neutral bronzy color leaning a little bit more warm i would say but that's perfect because it is a bronzer super cute packaging and i think what's great about this for beginners is it's kind of foolproof to apply you don't apply too much and it blends very easily so love this bronzer very very much moving on to blushes i have two different lines or formulas to speak about so the first one is jouet any jouet blush is incredible this is a six-pan palette that they no longer sell unfortunately but this does contain shades that are in their regular line they do have blush duos and i recommend you pick those up if you can i think one of my favorite most universal shades is adormy which you can purchase individually jouet has one of the best blush formulas in the game especially in the high end range they're probably my favorite because they're so easy to blend out if you over apply they have one of the most beautiful range of shades in my opinion and they just have the best colors that are so flattering and very easy to apply definitely foolproof for a beginner so if you are looking in what direction to go as far as blushes i would point you towards jouet they have just the best line ever and the best colors i did also want to talk about max line as well i specifically love the shade melba it's kind of my everyday go with every i look kind of blush mac also has a really beautiful formula and they have an even better range than jouet because they have a billion and one blushes which kind of can make it harder because at least jouet is a little bit more of a condensed line so it's easier to choose mac is kind of all over the place but mac blushes have been around and very popular for a very long time for a very good reason they have a lot of different textures different finishes and every single blush from mac i've used is incredible they do not have a bad blush in their line so i definitely recommend that you do look into max blushes my personal favorite if you're looking for a color recommendation has to be melba you know it's warm and cool at the same time it goes with every look it's a very very universal blush on a lot of different skin tones so highly recommend this for highlighters my go-to high-end highlighter has been at the milk makeup flex highlighter i have mine in the shade lit they have one of the most beautiful highlighting formulas i have dealt with this is the highlighter that i am wearing right now one of the things that i look for in highlighters is how they blend into the skin or if it looks like it is sitting on the skin so sometimes with highlighters you can kind of see that line of where you applied the highlighter and sometimes you can't really get it to buff into the skin so that glow looks like it is in your skin and not sitting on your skin this highlighter is the perfect example of melting into the skin beautifully buffs into the skin you can't see any lines over here and it's just the most beaming highlight as well i love a more natural highlight typically but if the highlight is beaming but it can still blend into the skin i'm all for it that is still a good highlight for me and this is just the most smoothing formulation as well it doesn't emphasize texture it's actually incredible how it could be so beaming and not emphasize texture normally i wouldn't suggest to purchase individual highlights because that can be quite expensive but this is one that is definitely worth every single penny i love their highlighter formulas i don't know how they created such a silky smooth formula but they really really nailed it also you can't go wrong with classic becca highlighters as well becca is really known for their highlights and for good reason they're a lot different than the milk formulation they're a little bit more creamy whereas the milk is more silky beckas are easy to work into the skin as well and they have very good colors my two favorites are opal opal is great especially for medium skin tones or if you're not into a super bright white stark highlighter if you have light skin this is also the way to go be careful with opal because it can leave a cast on lighter skin tones but this is a really good just kind of turn and see the light and then turn and then you don't see it anymore so opal is a really really good one becca has a great formulation if you're looking for something a little bit more blinding champagne pop is the way to go do you remember jacklyn hill's collaboration i've even hit pay on this this is a really good highlight if you want something more blinding let me show you put a little bit on so you can kind of see and this one's a little bit more golden compared to the lit from milk i love this highlighter as well so both formulations are really incredible you can't go wrong with either just depending on what you're feeling but i feel like everybody kind of recommends becca highlighters those are no surprise so i did want to shed some light on that milk as well because milk also has an incredible highlighting formula let's talk about eyebrows really quick there's two eyebrow pencils that i highly recommend and that everybody recommends so i'm just going to quickly breeze through it today i use the benefit precisely my brow pencil i use the shade for this is a really great classic brow pencil just to kind of fill in the eyebrows in the areas that you need it has a really fine tip so that you can draw hair like strokes also the abh brow pencil is very good i can't really tell the difference between the two this is just the one i happened to have in my collection today but definitely go abh or benefit when it comes to any brow products i always recommend the benefit precisely my brow pencil because it's very very precise all right time to move on to eyes let's talk about my favorite eye base of the moment this is the mac painterly paint pot this has been around forever this is no surprise i just like it because of how simple it is to use i wouldn't say it guarantees that your shadows aren't going to crease because it doesn't i still do get creasing but i love the way shadows lay on this i love the way that this blinks out the veins on my lid so for me it's worth it i'll take an esum w 25 brush which is this really big sable hair brush and this is just what i use to quickly paint all over my eyelid my eyelid is even and it's ready for shadows to be applied so this in my opinion is the best prep for eyeshadow it just leaves the most beautiful canvas for eyeshadows so now it's time to talk about eyeshadows this is very predictable but i do recommend abh shadows to start off for first time high end users there are so many beautiful eyeshadows out there in the world of course especially high end i do really recommend abh not only because their formula is great but because it is so known you know everybody knows about abh palettes and it does feel nice to be a part of understanding that um my number one recommendations especially for beginners is the soft glam this is very predictable i've talked about this recently in videos about how good it is and how it needs to be a sable in a collection this has every kind of neutral color that you're going to need you can lean more cool you can lean more warm the formulation on this is really easy you have beautiful shimmer your blendable mats you can't go wrong with this palette so this is the number one palette that i recommend maybe this isn't your cup of tea any palette that you get from abh is great sultry is my personal favorite of the moment if you like more cool toned shadows if you really really really are looking for colors for a one eye modern renaissance is the way to go modern renaissance made warm tones happen in the first place and this was a very unique palette of the time and it's really good i really enjoy it and then the other one that i highly recommend is the jackie aina palette if you're looking for a little bit more room for creativity this is the one that i wore today because i've been wearing soft glam too much so i had to give my jackie aina some love so i did create a little bit more of a crazy look with this palette but i really do recommend any abh palette whatever kind of strikes your fancy the amresi one is a really great one to start off with as well khalib i will if you like there's more light kind of a lavender cool tones any of the palettes are great but of course my number one recommendation is soft glam just to start you off high in makeup brands also have some really great lid toppers i always talk about the stila magnificent metals glitter and glow so my favorite shades are diamond dust which is the color in my hand kitten which is a glittery champagne and rose gold retro which is a rose gold base with some silver flecks in there these make a glitter so easy to deal with so right now i only have diamond dust because the other two are actually in my makeup kit because i use them for brides or whoever wants some glitter but i do have disco dusk kind of right in the middle of the eye in the inner corner and i just added that extra pop to the look these colors don't have fallout they're so glittery and they just ease of application i mean all of it it just makes everything foolproof so if you're looking for that one key glitter item or that one liquid shadow stila is definitely the brand that you have to look for their stuff is gorgeous now don't go overboard like i did and buy like 20 and then never use them because they do dry out within a year i would say but if you can pick up one or two colors that you use throughout the year you won't regret it these are phenomenal ever since i've used them i've been in love with them but if you're looking for something that's a little bit more of a powder lid topper to kind of finish it off and really add a glittery look i also love the touch and soul sparkling foil to pigments i stopped talking about these because i've been diving into other things but this one is also so good my favorite color in case you were wondering is cream peach this is kind of that champagne color that goes with everything so they're gonna kind of look like this and they are as crazy as they look on the finger they are that metallic and reflective and it's a different look than the stila the stila is a liquid shadow this guy is just a really really reflective powder shadow that you're not going to get in a regular kind of powder eyeshadow scenario because they need to be packed individually so that they don't dry out these are just the perfect kind of pop to the center of the lid shades i have almost a whole line but cream peach is my favorite sonora it's a really cool kind of green gold and then persian rose if you like more pinky tones but these are also incredible highly highly recommend especially if you want to pick them up during the sale because they're kind of expensive to buy those individual things so my all-time favorite eyeliner from high end this is one that i use in my makeup kit it's the only gel liner that i will use this is the mac black track fluid line this has been a classic for me for years it's the only kind of gel pot liner that i find doesn't transfer on me it legitimately lasts a really long time it's one of the best that i've personally tried i prefer gel liners like i use a lot of liquid eyeliners and pen eyeliners as well but when it comes down to it i really do feel like i get the best line and the best wing and have the most control when i'm using a gel liner and a very very thin brush the mac 210 is what i use i always get my best wings when i use these two together so this is just the best pretty basic gel liner in my opinion my favorite cream eyeliners are from the sephora brands actually and these are the colorful shadow and liners right now i just have a white a nude and a blue jean kind of blue color in my collection i'm wearing the nude in my waterline right now i find that these last a very long time you can use these as eyeshadows i'll use them as eyeshadow bases the white especially under pastel shades or you could use a black they're just so creamy and so easy to blend out you can't use them as like top liner but you can use them as either an eyeshadow base or waterline mascara secret bourgeois is what i'm wearing right now it's a nude and it's just so creamy it just glides onto the waterline and staying time is just really really good as well you know it's not perfect it's not the most long lasting but for being so creamy it's just so amazing i love these guys so much so let's talk about lashes the one pair of lashes that i have to recommend to you from lily lashes are the style con these are the ones that i'm wearing right now they have a nice curl to them they also have some spaces in between so that you can see the eyeshadow underneath they're not too long or obnoxious just the miami lashes i find to really overpower my eyes con is the perfect amount of drama will still not overpowering and weighing down my eyes so if you have smaller eyes i recommend con they're just really nice they have a nice curl they look unnatural but they looked as natural as unnatural could be so lily lashes in con is one of my go-to lashes they're the ones that i'm wearing right now my number one favorite lip liner brand is mac they have the most perfect formulation where it's not too creamy so that you don't have control but it's not too waxy so that you're dragging on the skin it's just right in between the mac lip liners are what i use in my makeup kit because i find if i use something too creamy on a client it's quicker to bleed and it also is harder to apply if it's more creamy i feel like i can get true precision with the formulation of the mac lip liners and they also have of course a great color range as well my favorite everyday lip liner shades are world and spice those are my two favorite and of course those are the ones that i keep in my makeup kit so i don't have them here with me right now but whirl is like that perfect mauve rose color and then spices like whirl but more warm and then cork is what i'm wearing today it's just that basic brown lip liner shade as well and they are creamy enough to where you can blend them before they set down as well that's very important to know whirl spice and cork are your go-to colors and then for lipsticks i have a whole line i love the Becca lipsticks they have the best so the one that i'm wearing today and is probably my most used is the shade sugar this is just the perfect nude color that goes with everything i recommended sugar for a very long time because it's very good but they have some really great nudes in here we have dune which is a little bit more peachy cubit kess has a little bit more deepness into it a little bit more red this is from the chloe molica collection hot tamale an incredible red orange shade just so many good colors dusk it's so good tawny is a very nude chocolate brown shade it's really stunning so i love the Becca lipsticks that's my number one favorite high end lipstick formula something about them is so creamy they all have a little bit of a shine to them she has the best color selection as well and overall they just feel very very expensive the formulation is very comparable and up to par with charlotte towberry so and then finally the fenty lip glosses are also the best in the game they have the best big fat applicator the best range of colors and the most glossy shiny not sticky finish at all any color you get you can't go wrong with all of mine are in my purses so the only one i have right now is fussy the universal shade is really great it's a bit more rosy than this shade right here fussy is the perfect pink and she just has so many different colors these are the best glosses i'm sure you guys have heard about them enough because they're just everything about them is so good just so comfortable so shiny so juicy love it so that is all i have for my high end makeup surrogate i definitely know it's a mouthful lots of products but there are so many good things that i wanted to talk about i didn't want to miss anything i just think that these are really great for you to consider picking up for this for a vib sale as well these are just my staples things that i don't get to talk about all the time so let me know your thoughts down below or any of these products of interest to you do you think i did justice as far as the ultimate high end makeup starter kit that is all i have for today's video i hope you guys enjoyed it if you aren't subscribed to my channel already i seriously hope you take the time to do so we have a lot of fun videos i post every day of the week except for sunday and i will see you guys in the next one bye guys have a good one


What are you doing getting water?  Yeah idiots Corbin Rick and you can follow us on Instagram twitch off of all juicing content Twitter account ring the bell to be part of the notification squad Good he's dead Just kidding today, we're doing a movie review because that's what we do That was a good beat actually. Hmm. Anyways But yes, we Found out just the other day. They're like we haven't watched the rent beer movie in a while And so we miss this fellow and I know you guys have been recommending us Lutera for a long long time And so we finally finally watched Lutera. What are you gonna say? Was that what we were supposed to watch because I just watched gully boy again. Oh, did you? Just fill in the dots. I'll make something up Okay, once again 100% spoiler view. That's what we do. Yeah, I've seen it Go watch it.  Thanks for being here read the synopsis. Do you have it in front of you? The IMDB synopsis. Yes. Yes It says it's an aristocrat. We start that over an aristocrat's daughter Falls in love with a visiting archaeologist, but he holds a secret that could drive them apart Well done. Yeah, it doesn't give me anything away. I like that Directed by say his name for me, Rick, please Yes, last name is mutwani, I think first name forgive me if I mispronounce the sir I believe it is Vickra Matatia and he was he was also the director of Udan Really, yeah same director. Well, no wonder it was so good. This is also written by Anurad Kashi up The dye the dye so that makes sense again produced by Anurad Kashi up composed by Amit Trivedi Yeah, and obviously starring our boy Ranveer Singh Yeah, and say her name for me Rick, please And yes, but again if I mispronounce, I hope I don't mispronounce her wonderful name But I believe that the proper pronunciation as Sonakshi Sena and then bar say say the father's name Baru Chhada who is apparently a Bengali Star and I want to say something off the bat about that. I Recognized that they were in Bengal before they said it and I was very proud of myself I it was like it was like the first five minutes and a guy walked on screen. I was like He looks Bengali to me Look at you. I think it was because he looked like the father in in a poo When he was wearing the brown glasses Mm-hmm, and that's what he looked like and I was like he looks like a from a poor I wonder if this has been in Bengal and then it was yeah, so I was proud of myself As you should be anyways were you excited when you found out that it was gonna be taking place and Yeah, had in Johnny had in Johnny seen this film. She saw it when it was in theaters. Yes, okay gotcha Okay, so your initial thoughts Rick I My initial thoughts are I think this is a wonderful movie. I loved it I have a very few little nitpicky things that don't even really mean anything because the most I have to do is rave about this at a Bunch of levels. I just think this is a really good movie. Yeah, I think I think so too. I Really enjoyed this film. It's a a Romance movie if you want to say that with a little bit of Stockholm syndrome in there Which you know, I love but You should have a shirt that says I love Stockholm syndrome But anyways, yeah, so I enjoyed that and I let's just talk about Ranveer cuz you know, he's our he's our guy Yeah, probably the most subtle performance even more subtle than gully boy.  You're expecting his big in Padma Vat.  He goes out even though he's pretty Ramleela. Yeah, he's pretty subdued there this He was almost Not Ranveer in this and you almost didn't look like cuz he didn't have the beard the full time And so sometimes it just didn't look like Ranveer a little bit So I this was one of my favorite performances of his actually I agree of how subtle it was and I think it was a huge stretch for him Had to be well actually, I don't know. He's a great actor So it's like I don't know if anything's really a stretch for me I think that man is a really gifted actor But I think this performance of his was just so subtle and really grounded and different and he never went over the top What like trying to display something trying to And you never knew what he was thinking in it if he was actually Wanting to do this or if he was feeling bad about it, which I think is an attestment to the writing and his acting And so go on what you want to say about him Yeah, that was the first note that I wrote was right off the bat was he's gully boy small. Yeah, I mean I think that's smaller I felt I felt he had a lot to work with that was really a testament to the writing and the directing in terms of the turn It takes in the in the in the second half by allowing him to play the more complicated side of the character and express that aspect of the character it's a very complex character And he got to carry some of that complexity and the silences at the beginning And you you know in retrospect you can go back and recognize what that character is dealing with when he's falling in love with her So yeah, I just another just great notch on the belt as far as I was concerned for him And then she I thought she was just wonderful. Yeah, and I think this is the first time we've seen her I believe unless I'm totally and utterly wrong. Let me see here I believe it's the first cuz I didn't read I didn't fully recognize her If we have I think we've seen her in something where she just had a very small role I don't think we've seen her in anything large. We have seen her in the song Gandhi Bach. She was in that film Gandhi Bob Gandhi Gandhi Gandhi So she was in that song, but we didn't see that film. We just saw that Yeah, a couple songs from that movie We've got it. Got it. But yeah, other than I think she did really really well as well. She She did really like I was because I was trying to sometimes critique her at certain points because I thought at some point She was being too big, but then I was like, I don't know. I think that's actually just her I think that's the character and she's very emotional at times And so and so I at first I was like, I don't know Is she sometimes being too much because normally she was really good and grounded just like Ranveer But then sometimes I was questioning whether I liked it or not But then I I went back and I was like, I think that's just who the character is. She's a very emotional person Especially yeah with what Ranveer did do her basically Absolutely. Yeah, you want to talk more about it. Yeah. Well, and she was very she was believable as Bengali She had this the stereotypical Bengali actress in movie stars historically. I have learned And what is historically feminine beauty in Bengali actresses is very round faces So that's the first thing that I have learned to look for of an actress on film Who's portraying a Bengali woman as oftentimes if they have that stereotypical Bengali round face So she was physically believable to me as Bengali And just the way that they carried themselves and what we've come to learn about Bengal and obviously with my Extreme bias toward is that part of the bias that she was I just felt that she was wonderful. I thought that she was Grounded again Very everything that on your I've caught you up puts his hands on It's almost like the minute you get started. He's like it. He says to everybody. Okay It's grounded and we're not doing it. So Y'all on board Realism or we're not doing it. I mean everything he touches whether he produces rights or directs. It's just got this grounded believable realism and I fully believe that these two people were real people who fell in love I believe the dad was who he was And our buddy who played the cop who we first were introduced to in Rossi. Oh Yeah, yeah, I didn't even notice that was him. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, that's what first met him was in Rossi He's always good. Hi. Yeah, I totally didn't even make that connection Yeah, no, yeah, they were all great. The dad was phenomenal. I thought the dad really really well Hey, you said he's a famous Bengali actor Yes The dad the dad that's what Indrani told me She said I think that was one of the big reasons that a lot of people there and Calcutta wanted to see it I mean, obviously they had heard a lot about run veer and this is how good he was a mess and They were excited for that and obviously excited for the fact that this took place in West Bengal and that he the dad is A very famous apparently soap actor in Bengali soap operas. Gotcha. Oh, cool. Yeah, he was he was great I loved him. I thought he was extremely believable and and you he probably is a theater background Imagine I would imagine he does. He's yeah, he sort of seems like it that So yeah, they're great every almost everybody in the entire cast was great the the detective like you were saying Before the the best friend. He was good And all that so I think everybody I think the songs were so so bar and we heard I think only one of them, right? Yeah, a couple weeks back, but it's I'm a Chivetti So that makes sense every single song was super super emotional and and and beautiful and I love the entire score I don't know if you want to say anything about that, but a hundred percent. I wrote this down early I wrote this score is just simply gorgeous And all of the songs are beautiful and I felt like the score got even more beautiful And it reminded me oftentimes he he was pulling some interesting Asian touches that almost remind me of some of the things that were done on the score of the last samurai without becoming so Asian That it left the realm of India, you know, it was just this Just it was so so beautiful. I thought one of the most beautiful scores. I think we've heard. Yeah, it was yeah So good. I loved how the director Gave us to not only did the script provide us to completely different kinds of stories from the first half from the second half But the director was so good in changing the tone everything about the tone the whole it's almost like he had a completely different vision from the from the production design team and the art direction and even the choices he used on his lenses Yeah, just the beginning felt like the warmth and expansiveness of Lagann and the second half felt like it had some of the the grittiness and rough edges that are in some of the more Crime story stuff that we see yeah, and that goes to the testament of I forget that you say that directors and I cannot say that I don't want to butcher it again.  I believe yeah, but money. I think he did a masterful job of doing a film that Normally you would you know, it's a romance film and you could go just one way with it But he decided to do some twists and some turns With it that I appreciated and I think that scene where they were running and they were trying to escape from the police That was actually like a really good action scene like it like a great sequence It was great sequence the cuts and the the the jumps to each of the things to make it seem like they were going through all out The city was really good and flawless And I that was a phenomenal scene Yeah, and I so I thought that yeah, like I said like you said it almost changed It was a drama and then almost like an action kind of chase like Car car chase but on on foot. Yeah, so a foot chase But yeah, I thought he did a really good job, but do you want to say anything about the director? Yeah, I mean that's just I felt everything he did was masterful in terms of the way he kept us Engaged with the tone the editing pacing And and that's a risky thing to do And keep it feel like it's the same Film and keep you engaged without put was one of the best intermission breaks ever Yeah, there was a really good intermission break like great intermission break because you're finding out the reveal Which is actually a great thing you did because the only gripe I really have with the film is that it was a tad bit predictable Not all the time. There were some really good parts But and then I kind of went back on that though because I can't think of a Romantic movie that isn't predictable because you kind of just know they're gonna be together Yeah, right Like I can't gather. I even even Bonnie and Bonnie and Clyde, right? They they're together in the end Yeah, they either live together or they die together, but in this one. I I it didn't end the way I Predicted when I was watching it. Yeah, how do you think I thought I thought they were gonna die in the bed together Like her of TB tuberculosis and yeah, I know them and then him of its wound That's what I thought it was gonna end up.  Yeah What I didn't see coming was a really nice touch was the flashback She had to when they were painting and he's putting leaf on the trees in that position What I thought was gonna happen. I thought he was gonna climb up into the tree She was gonna see him doing it and the cop was gonna show up and shoot him out of the tree. Yeah Yeah, I thought that for a minute, too. He also doesn't know how to climb trees Like why would you put your footing on the weakest branch? Maybe he's never climbed a tree before a Corbin it's but it's but it was snowing and it was windy It was slippery. You're right. I'm sorry. It was very slippery. There was probably You know, there was insects in the tree that were making him feel a tad bit off put I Something I really appreciated in the script because up until this point. I'm about to reference I Kind of was rooting for somebody to kill him. Yes, what he did what he did to her and her dad I didn't see it coming and I couldn't believe he did that to them But when he starts to share with her toward the very end of the film his monologue about growing up His uncle was the only one who took care of him and it's the only life he ever knew But no one ever loved him She's the first person who ever loved him and he didn't know how to respond to that and was Really struggling with that and felt a sense of remorse and pain for what he had done for probably the first time in His life. So there came this kind of a redemption of his character By the fact that he I felt he was genuine in his admission to her of The reason I am what I am. I'm not giving it as an excuse. It's just an explanation I've never known love until I met you and so to have someone love me unconditionally and we love them back Is something I never imagined I would ever have And I thought that was a beautiful turn and that's a credit to the writing team.  So I Think I was always rooting for them to die I Thought I thought she was gonna die with him like I did too. I thought it was gonna be Romeo and Juliet Yeah, yeah, like a real Juliet or a Bonnie and Clyde situation Something like that. That's so I thought yeah, I was hoping it was gonna be that but then you wouldn't have that reveal at the end Where she sees that he's been putting up the leaves every single day That she's been that she's been there So that was that was a pretty sweet moment. It was almost it was almost like a notebook type movie But with murder I Tara it's a notebook kind of movie with murder say that should be the synopsis No, but I really really enjoyed it's probably one of my favorite romance movies that we've seen in India, I mean it helps that he's just frickin gorgeous But Yeah, I can't hmm. I'm trying to think of other romance. I mean I love Remlita, you know, I love Remlita Yeah, this one is a different Remlila is a is a far more Campy over the top that thing and you know the story where it's going because it's gonna be a Romeo and Juliet kind of thing This this felt more. I don't know that you'll like that with comparison. I'm about to give you Think about what I'm about to say without the acting difference. We feel but it felt more like Devdas I Acting no, I'm not I'm just I don't like that. Think about think there's a tree in the end There's somebody dies the guy dies at a tree at the end There's that sense of wishing they could be together, but they couldn't be together. So that's the closest thing I would compare the Relational I don't care what anybody says. This is way better than Devdas Like a thousand percent Sorry guys Devdas was beautiful. I'll give it that But yeah, so I would a thousand percent recommend this movie. Oh, yeah, go watch this movie It's so so good. I like this director a lot a lot. He's so he's done He didn't direct Dev. No, that's Sanjay, but he worked on Devdas What was he on Devdas? Who the director? Yeah, the director What's what does it say? Interesting that I referenced Devdas and there his name popped up in Devdas. Was he an assistant was he an AD? Let me check and it's the SRK Devdas. We're talking about right? SRK ashore you're right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He associate director and sound designer So he was AD and sound designer. So he was involved with that story interesting He was a writer in Devdi. He directed Udan. He was the producer of Queen He was a producer of ugly. He was a producer of man. Okay. He was a producer of mason.  So yeah, he's a big time.  Well, I love it and that's score man. Just what a gorgeous gorgeous score score was amazing Yeah, great. Let us know what we should watch next down below any anything bollywood tollywood colliewood Malolium anything. I don't care Bengali. Uh, you know, yeah, you know, we don't care I'm very much looking forward to Renvier's next film 83 whenever that comes out into theaters Who knows but let us know what we should watch down below and let us know what you thought about this movie Thank you, too


The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents This Is Your FBI. This Is Your FBI. The official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Presented transcribed as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community. If you're covered by Social Security, you will certainly be interested in a plan for turning your Social Security into full security. The Equitable Life Assurance Society will be glad to show you how simple that can be. Interested? Then please listen carefully in about 14 minutes to this important message from the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. Tonight, the subject of our FBI file, Racket Control. It's titled, The Million Dollar Question. Tonight's case from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation points up an alarming condition existing in our country. While our forces fight on foreign shores to protect our precious heritage, criminal forces within our own borders are trying to strangle it, demanding protection money from those conducting legitimate businesses. Your FBI says that protection money, like blackmail money, is unnecessary. Law enforcement agencies can and will give adequate protection, but businessmen must cooperate, must reveal the facts as they know them. Then and then only will this vicious underworld practice be wiped out for criminal sphere exposure almost as much as they fear bullets. Right here and now your FBI pledges all legitimate business enterprises with its full support in the fight against graft, corruption and exploitation. Listen tonight to an example of what we mean by this. Tonight's file opens in a large eastern city. Over the entrance to a building in the warehouse district is a sign which reads, Our trucks move anything, anywhere, anytime. A middle-aged man sits in an office on the top floor of that building. He is just greeting a visitor. Come right in, sir. Thank you. Secretary tells me you're with the FBI. Yes, that's right, sir. My name is Taylor. Here are my credentials. I see. Have a chair, Mr. Taylor. Thanks. What can I do for you? Well, sir, I'd like some information. I'd be glad to help. What is it? A hoodlum named Joe Russell was arrested this week by the police. The prosecuting attorney got permission to examine Russell's bank records. Now, they showed that your trucking company and quite a few others paid Russell a sum of money every month. The FBI was called in when it developed that most of the companies used their trucks interstate. I'm afraid I don't follow you. A simple arithmetic showed the amount each trucking company paid Russell was equal to $25 a month for every truck. What does that prove? We've got a case of interference with interstate shipments against Russell. It's an open secret that all of you pay him that money for protection. The United States attorney needs more, however, than an open secret for evidence. He wants proof, and that's why I'm here. How can I help him? By giving me a signed statement that Russell extorts the money from you and then by going to court to substantiate your statement with testimony? Mr. Taylor, I'm afraid I can't do that. But we know that you're giving Russell that money. We pay him because he helps us in our business. Oh, and how? We used to have accidents before we signed with him. Since then, we haven't had a single one. All right, sir. Will you put that much into a statement? No, and I won't testify. Look, what do you want from me? I'm not a criminal. And as far as Russell goes, he's nothing.  Arrest Alex Butler. He steals more than 20 Joe Russells. Can you help us prove that? No, but there must be people who can. Why don't you find them and stop bothering the small fry? Mr. Ramsey, can I have a few more minutes of your time? What for?  All right. About 25 years ago, a young man named Bill Coleman joined the police force here. A few nights later, he was walking his beat when he came to a small candy store or what had been a candy store. Now, the counter was smashed, every window broken, and the owner was crumbled and conscious against a wall. Bit by bit, Officer Coleman got the story. Every shop on that street was paying a dollar a week to a young hoodlum. The officer got a description of a petty larceny thief named Curly, whose hangout was a pool room just a few blocks away. Nice shot, Colonel. Eh, eh, bank this six-ball. Well, that's game, Jack. Pay me. Okay. Yeah. I'll buy a return, huh? You got any more, Doe? No. Hang up your cue. Wait a minute. I'll, uh, put up some info. On what? The street you can get for yourself, really, is he? 20 stores on it. They're paying five a week now. It's 100 smackers. I'll put them up. You'll put up 10 bucks cash, huh? What are the stores? What street? Curly. I'm no dope. You say it's a deal, and I'll tell you. It's a deal. They're on Broadway between spring and May. Pete Harper's got that block. He was picked up last night. Word is he'll get six months. By then, you could have the block organized so good and never get a pack. Well, you'll buy it. I'll buy it. Here's a cue ball. You'll break. Cop just come in. Yeah, I see him. Hello. Hi. Your name, Curly? Uh-huh. I want to talk to you. Go ahead. You beat up a candy store owner over on Wilson Street last night. I wasn't near Wilson Street last night. I went to the movies with this guy here. Oh, what'd you see? Uh... The big parade. Yeah, the big parade. I hear you collect from every store on Wilson Street. Collect what? Protection. The candy store didn't pay you this week, so you went in and beat up the owner. How could I? I was at the movies. Can you prove that? Can you prove I beat the guy up? I might. The victim is at Memorial Hospital. I'm going over there now. If he talks, I'll be back. Good afternoon, sir. Hello, officer. Well, how do you feel? Yeah. You got a pretty bad beating. The doctor says I'll be all right. What happened last night? Who did this to you? I don't know. Now, look, sir, I'm here to help you. Then do me a favor. Forget the whole thing. Why? I don't want any more beatings. But you don't have to pay protection. Officer, you're a young man. You don't understand these things. I didn't pay. That was a mistake. I don't make another one. You know a man called Curly. Who? You know who I mean. Yes.  I didn't say that. Now, look, officer, I don't make trouble for you. Don't make trouble for me. Please leave me alone. Well, Mr. Ramsey, that started Curly's career. His one protection block became two blocks then three, then the entire neighborhood. Curly was finally arrested. Officer Coleman picked him up for assault and battery, and Curly was sentenced to six months. At the time he got out, someone else had taken over his protection racket, but Curly didn't care. He had enough money by now to set himself up in a new business. He became a bootleger. He was only doing fairly well with his whiskey trade till one night at a dance hall. Curly! How are you, Ruthie? Oh, I didn't see you come in. Oh, I just got here. It's a new band tonight. They sound good, huh? They're okay. Well, are we gonna dance? I'm supposed to meet a guy here. Oh, come on. You'll find him. Well... Come on. You've been busy or something? Why? Well, you haven't been around. I've been working. Oh, you got a new car? Yeah. Marmon Roadster. No kidding. Oh, I'm sorry. That's okay. I guess I'm a little too tricky for you. I'll stay with the straight stuff. Curly. Oh, hi. Come on. This is the guy I'm supposed to see. You've been here long? No. You know Ruthie, don't you? Yeah, sure. Hi. Get lost a minute, honey. I want to talk to this guy. Oh, but, Curly... I'll be back. Come on, Jack. What'd you want to see me about? The farmer just got knocked over. So, I'll get my stuff from somebody else. Anyway, come. I want to sell you some information. Like what? The customer the farmer had. Big one. You can move in if you want to pass. What's this information worth? Ten percent. Okay, let's hear it. It's the West Side Club. We got 3,000 members. The farmer was moving 20, 30 cases a day into the place. That much? Sure. The manager's got a racket on the side. Sells a member's booze to take home. What's the manager's name? Morgan. Tomorrow every guy in town will be trying to make the connection. You, uh, buy it, huh? I buy it. Is this Morgan at the club now? Yeah.  I'm going to go see him. Curly went to see Mr. Morgan, but so did another bootlegger. Curly made the deal to supply the club's whiskey, but his competitor never stopped trying to steal the business away. Never stopped, that is, till Curly murdered him. Officer Coleman went to work on this case. Slowly, surely he collected evidence. Finally, he needed only one more element. Proof that Curly had the whiskey concession at the West Side Club. Sit down, sit down. Have a seat, Sergeant. Thank you, Mr. Morgan. What can I do for you? Well, I'd like some information. I understand this club gets its whiskey from Curly. Whiskey? Yes, Mr. Morgan. We don't buy any whiskey. That's against the law. Now I'm not a revenue agent. I'm here investigating a murder. Everything I've learned so far adds up to the fact that Curly committed a crime. The motive has to be the whiskey concession here.  No, I'm sorry, Sergeant. I don't know anything about whiskey being sold around this club. I just came in through the dining room. How come everybody's drinking? Well, after all, this is a club. If a member keeps a few bottles in his locker, we really can't stop him, can we? Mr. Morgan, you're not being very cooperative. Well, I'm telling you all I know. Yes, I'm sure you are. Oh, are you leaving? Yep. Well, drop in again any time. You're always welcome. There was another opportunity to stop Curly's progress, Mr. Ramsey, and once again it failed because a man who could have indicted him refused to help. Well, in a few years, Curly controlled the bootleg whiskey business here, and he should have been satisfied, I guess, when he wasn't. He respected Jack Moody, and Jack told him the thing wouldn't last, and that worried Curly. Then one night he took Ruth Dawson to the old arena to see the six-day bicycle races. Curly, why are they riding so slow? The judge weighed the red flag. That means nobody can steal a lap. What's with that guy singing? He's a song-clugger. They're always at these things. I can stand a hot dog. Well, I'll grab the guy when he comes around. Uh, 50 for a sprint. 50 dollars for a sprint, offered by the gentleman in box 83. That's Torchy Peden. Come on, Torchy! He'll win it. Now, McNamara, he can still ride. Hang on. There you see it. I told you. Hey, Curly. Oh, come on in. Sit down. Hi, Ruth. Hi. Sit here. Where you going, honey? That hot dog. I'm hungry. Okay. Hey, Jackie, you should have been here before. I put a 50 for a sprint, and I got a cheer like I was Jack Dempsey. Yeah, look, kid, I got a hot deal for you. Now, what is it? Ten percent? Okay. I know where you can buy a snatch. Real good. The guy's been fingered for a month. You can buy the schedule he lives by, the hideout, the muscle. Everything but 10 Gs. I got a cap right now. Not for this, Martin. You can get as much ransom as you want to ask for. Who is it? Old man Adams. Hey, yeah. How about it? Well, it sounds okay, but I never fooled around with that kind of deal.  But they'll always be rich guys like Adams. You got an organization working at it. You can do one a month. Let's say you're 100 Gs of crack. That ain't bad. Yeah, I know, Jack. Look, at Curly, we've been friends for a long time, right? That's why I brought you the deal first. But I can't stall the guys who owned this mark too long. Adams is going on a trip next week. The snatch has to be made by tomorrow night. Well, that doesn't leave much time. It's all set up. The only thing you've got to do is just nod your head. I'll be okay. Look at that, George. Curly, I've got to know right now. You'll buy it? I'll buy it. Come on! In just a moment, we will bring you the conclusion of tonight's case, which shows how the men of your FBI do their job of promoting national security. Now I want to talk about another kind of security. I want to talk about turning social security into full security. And just to prove how easy it is to do that, I've asked Mr. and Mrs. James Drummond to help me. Mr. and Mrs. Drummond. Good evening, Mr. Cating. Good evening. Mr. Drummond, before the show, I gave you a copy of the fact-finding chart for fathers and mothers put out by the Equitable Society. Will you tell our audience what you and Mrs. Drummond have learned in that short time with the aid of the fact-finding chart? Glad to, Mr. Cating. I've been wondering for years how margin the boys would get along if something happened to me. I knew the money from my social security simply wouldn't stretch far enough to let them live decently. That's true, Mr. Cating. We never knew before just how much money it would take. All we knew was that $110 a month doesn't go far these days, and that's what we get from social security. Mr. Drummond, did the fact-finding chart for fathers and mothers help? Oh, you bet. For the first time, I knew exactly how much money Marge and little Joe and Jimmy need to get along without me. Show Mr. Cating how we worked without Jim. See, here's the answer we got from the fact-finding chart. I knew you'd get the answer. The fact-finding chart covers everything. How much does the chart cost, Mr. Cating? I'd like to tell my friends. Not a cent. It's free. No obligations. Representatives of the Equitable Society are glad to give a copy to any man or woman who is interested. This chart guides you every step of the way with easy-to-understand pictures. The answer is trustworthy and accurate, and you learn exactly how much extra income you need to turn your social security into full security. Your equitable man will be glad to show you how to accomplish that. Remember, you've already got a big head start with your social security and whatever insurance you may now have. Only a small amount of additional insurance may be all it's needed to give full security. So why not get in touch with your Equitable Society representative soon? Ask him for your free copy of Equitable's fact-finding chart for fathers and mothers. That's E-Q-U-I-T-A-B-L-E. The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. And now back to the FBI file. The Million Dollar Question. After the influx of kidnappings in the late 20s and early 30s, the federal kidnapping statute was passed by Congress. This gave your FBI jurisdiction in those cases where an interstate element was present. Within a few years, kidnappings ceased to be a major law enforcement problem. Noting your FBI's success in that and other fields of crime over which it has jurisdiction, some people have raised their voices to demand a national police force, a master overall law enforcement agency whose authority would extend to every corner of the nation. Your FBI is against any such proposal. America needs no national police force. The federal government can never properly substitute itself for local self-rule. The experience of other people in foreign lands who suddenly found themselves living in a totalitarian state discloses that the trend always started with people in local communities being unable or unwilling to take care of local situations. The experience of your FBI has been that our present setup of local, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies works best. Works best for police officials and for you, the people. Tonight's FBI file continues in the warehouse office where Agent Taylor sits with Mr. Ramsey. Mr. Taylor, I don't see what the story of this man curly has to do with me. You'll let me finish it soon, I think you'll see. Go ahead. Well, Curley maneuvered that kidnapping and got $100,000 ransom. Bill Coleman heard a rumor and started to investigate. He questioned Curley and got a complete denial. Coleman's next stop was the victim, but he had no comment to make. As far as he was concerned, the matter was closed. So you see, once again, a man who could have stopped Curley refused to and by refusing allowed him to continue his career. A short time later, a prohibition was repealed. That was December of 1933. Curley took it easy for a while. Then in May of the following year, he took Ruth and Jack to Louisville to see the Kentucky dirt. I'll never be able to read a racing form. I told you what to do, but undiscovery. I already did. I just wanted to know why. The cashier won't ask you when you give him the ticket. The horses are reaching again. Where's Jack with those jewels? He'll be here. Curley, this matter harries a girl horse, isn't it? Mm-hmm. But don't get any ideas. Phillies don't win this race. Oh. Here we are, kids. Oh, thanks, Jack. Thanks, pal. Mm. That tastes good. It's my first time. Uh, Curley, down. I want to talk to you about something. No, I don't tell me you're gonna top me on Cavalcade. No, no, no. It's business. Look, the race is gonna start, man. Look, it's a big deal. Okay, okay. What is it?  Ten percent. Okay. What's the deal? What I've been thinking.  So? Well, the guy stepped in, put out the fire. He couldn't make a glove.  Make yourself like the George Landis of bookmakers.  You protect everybody's territory for them. Mm-hmm. Even if they don't like it, who are they gonna run to? Where is my setup? Yeah, it's not bad. You, uh, buy it? I buy it. And now... Now, Mr. Ramsey, Curley had something he could use his organizational talents on. And he did. Before anybody realized what was happening, he was collecting from every book in town. He was also moving into legitimate businesses. He bought a company that made jukeboxes, then he took over an outfit that distributed cigarette-vending machines then an automobile agency. They were all profitable because Curley had found a new formula.  Nobody could arrest him because he wasn't the legal owner of any of the outfits. Each had its own frontman. Curley merely pulled the strings and collected the profits. He operated from a suite of offices in a downtown skyscraper. One day, Jack Moody came to see him. Good morning, Mayor. Huh? You want to be mayor? That makes sense, would you? I was just over the second ward. Norton's having trouble. Now what kind? The primary's coming up next month. There's gonna be an opposition ticket. Now, Will is putting up a slate of his own. Will might give Norton more than just trouble. He knows it. And we can make a deal. Like what? Well, Norton figures with $20,000. He can keep control. In return, he'll give you three places on the ticket. You name the man, he'll run them. That sounds fair enough. Look, I was kidding about the mayor's job, but you could be a councilman for sure. No, no, no, no, no. I stay out of the picture. Whatever you say. I see Norton now telling me he's got his money. Okay.  Wait a minute. Why? I just happen to think he'll give us three men for 20 Gs. Maybe Will or Will too. What? Give them both 20. And we gotta want her either way. Well, that's how it started, Mr. Ramsey. Curly got control of the second ward in that primary five years ago. The next year he picked up three more districts and his machine will probably carry every office in next week's selection. I don't know anybody named Curly in local politics. You wouldn't serve for a couple of reasons. In the first place, he still stays out of the picture. Come in. Hello, I'm looking for... I'm here, Bill. Oh. Mr. Ramsey, this is Chief of Police Coleman. How do you do? Hello. This is the same Bill Coleman who was the officer in my story. Oh. How'd you make out, Bill? Well, Butler said if I make that arrest, he'll have my job. Mr. Ramsey, he's talking about Alex Butler. You see, Curly is Alex Butler. The man you've been telling me about? That's right, sir. A lot of people had a chance to stop Alex Butler while he was working his way up from being a cheap hoodlum to the man who runs this entire city. Nobody did, though. Well, there's nothing I can do about Alex Butler. No, but I came up here to question you about a petty last-knee chiseler named Joe Russell. 25 years ago, Curly was where Russell is now. But you've got a chance to stop Joe Russell before he becomes another Butler. Well, so what's your answer? I'll testify. Joe Russell was convicted in federal court of violating the atta racketeering statutes and sentenced to a federal prison. In addition to being the case history of a hoodlum, tonight's case from the files of your FBI told the story of how some political machines are born. It is unfortunate that some communities in every part of the nation find themselves ruled by such machines. However, that situation can be remedied. Throughout most of the country, this coming week we'll see an election being held. You, as a citizen, have a responsibility and a duty to vote in that election. In local contests, the smaller the number of votes cast, the fewer are needed to control the result. No political machine in our history has gone through the years without defeat. And they invariably met that defeat when the voters of a community turned out en masse at the ballot boxes. If there is an election in your community this coming week, do your duty as an American. Study the candidates and the issues. Then vote. Now, just two things to remember about the Equitable's fact-finding chart for fathers and mothers. First, it shows you exactly what monthly income your family would require if the breadwinner should die. Second, this pictorial chart doesn't cost you one cent. Ask your Equitable Society representative for a free copy. If you cannot locate an Equitable agent, send a postcard, care of this station, to the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. Next week, we will dramatize another case from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Its subject, Allotment Swindle. Its title, The Traveling Bride.
