EPISODE 13

Frank rekindles an old flame who tracked him down at the Triangle Social Club. Fritzy's fiddling with his blood pressure machine, while Frank tries to distract him with talk about Babe Ruth. Sadly, since this baseball chat is considered "non-pertinent," FBI agents shut the recorder off for a minute (which we've marked with a short piano interlude). But when the tape rolls again, Frank is back in his baby's arms. (6:34)
