Hi there Monks

I have to extract some values from a JSON data. I have a sample here where I cant get to one of the values in one of the blocks. I would like to have this as a result:

 Yes: Mary Lou - 11111 | 1 
 Yes: Mary Lou - 22222 | 2 
 Yes: John De - 33333 | 1 
 Yes: Smith Doe - 4444 | 1 
 No sec value, just the name: Joseph D.
[download]

But I can not get to the value:

 Yes: Mary Lou - 11111 | 1
[download]

Instead, I am getting just this:

 Yes: Mary Lou - 22222 | 2 
 Yes: John De - 33333 | 1 
 Yes: Smith Doe - 4444 | 1 
 No sec value, just the name: Joseph D.

Any help on that?
