Unknown Broadcast — old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR, radio suspense, and Christmas ghost stories for the longest nights of the year. A special holiday edition, my dear: later nights for cold frights. We unwrap mislaid presents, whispered confessions, and footsteps in new snow; a Yule of shivers where favors come due and the past waits in a frost-rimmed mirror. Come nearer to the speaker. The tree lights hum. Somewhere between the carols and the wind, a voice promises a gift… and the bill.

Inside this Christmas collection you’ll hear snowbound horror stories, ghostly radio chillers, a brush with a Yeti, and wintry crimes that bite like sleet. Cozy up—cocoa in hand, curtains drawn—and let Unknown Broadcast thread these holiday hauntings together in one long night.
3) Emoji-headed blurbs per story (no author credits)

  • 🎁 The Gift — A present chosen with care… and paid for in something other than money.
  • 🎄 Christmas Story — Candlelight, confession, and a truth that won’t stay wrapped.
  • 📦 Delayed Christmas Present — A package arrives a year late; its sender hasn’t moved on.
  • 🎁🗡️ A Present for Benny — Ribbon, paper, and gunmetal; sometimes the bow hides the bite.   
  • 🎁📻 A Present for Ricky — Good boys get toys; the rest get what they deserve.
  • 🐾❄️ The Abominable Snowman — Whiteout, wide eyes, and footprints that don’t circle back.
  • 🖼️ Cold Canvas — Art that steals warmth; a portrait that keeps breathing when the room does not. 
  • 🔧 The Open End Wrench — Under a streetlamp, one tool left behind points the way to the station house—and the end. 
Blow out the last candle, my dear, and keep the radio low—Unknown Broadcast will handle the rest of your classic OTR Christmas horror tonight.

1
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:12.880
Hello, my dear, So good to see you so close

2
00:00:12.919 --> 00:00:19.519
to the holidays. I do so enjoy your visits. What

3
00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:26.600
say tonight we stay up late, really late, and enjoy

4
00:00:26.760 --> 00:00:34.320
something frightful together, try to make ourselves feel merry and bride.

5
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:39.159
Or it's that well, I suppose that wouldn't be much

6
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:44.759
of a difficulty. Just give me one moment. Hot tea

7
00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:50.439
is our usual go to, but tonight, why not warm cocoa.

8
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:57.399
The fire's burning bright, it's so warm and inviting. Let's

9
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:05.840
gather around, because moments like these aren't the celebration, they're

10
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:07.120
the gift.

11
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:33.560
Radio, mystery theater presents. Come in, Welcome. I'm a g Marshall.

12
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:39.439
The moving finger writes, and having writ moves on. Nor

13
00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:43.480
all your piety nor wit shall lure it back again

14
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:49.599
to cancel half a line, Nor all your tears wash

15
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.359
out a word of it, or put it this way.

16
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:58.400
You can never erase nor rewrite what has been inscribed

17
00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:03.519
in the book of your life, Or can you What

18
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:04.640
are you doing here?

19
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:05.040
Water?

20
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:07.879
I had to see you, reader, I had to see you.

21
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:12.240
Don't you know it's dangerous, Rita? After all, we killed him.

22
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:14.439
Oh you've got that all wrong.

23
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.599
You killed him no, no, we both planned it. We

24
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.800
both did it. Your fingerprints on the gun, Rita, you

25
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:26.120
were there. It was your idea.

26
00:02:26.719 --> 00:02:27.919
What was my idea?

27
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:29.439
Walter?

28
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.280
I don't know what you're talking about.

29
00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:44.840
Our mystery drama, The Gift was written especially for the

30
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:50.000
Mystery Theater by Sam Dan and stars Robert Dryden. It

31
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.680
is sponsored in part by a Bwick Motor division and

32
00:02:52.840 --> 00:03:08.319
True Value Hardware stores. I'll be back shortly with that one.

33
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:13.000
And we have laws against it, both man made and divine,

34
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:19.560
practically all civilized and most uncivilized societies as well prohibited.

35
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:23.560
So then how do you account for the fact that

36
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.080
murder has flourished since the dim red dawn of history.

37
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:32.120
Murder by individuals, murdered by groups, murder at wholesale, murder

38
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:38.280
at retail, but murder everywhere and enough to spare. We

39
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:41.879
are in a pretty little cafe law. A man and

40
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:45.680
a woman are at a table, holding hands. They seem

41
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:50.520
to be very much in love, and yet as we listen,

42
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.759
the very first word we hear is murder.

43
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:57.599
Now what brings the s.

44
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:01.400
Plan to do it?

45
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:01.759
Don't we?

46
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:05.479
Of course time, but we don't have to talk about it.

47
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:08.120
What do you mean we don't have to talk about it.

48
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:10.520
But what I mean is we don't have to talk

49
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:13.879
about it anymore. Everything we have to say has already

50
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:16.160
been discussed. It only remains to be deaf.

51
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:26.000
Yeah, maybe maybe, Walter, Are you beginning to have second thought?

52
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:28.839
I don't know.

53
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.519
Well, for your information, you were the first to mention

54
00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:37.120
it six months ago, didn't you say, if only Dennis

55
00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:38.040
weren't around?

56
00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:41.560
Well? Yes, what did it mean?

57
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:42.680
You have a way?

58
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:45.959
I have a way of cutting through the months of

59
00:04:46.079 --> 00:04:50.639
cracking the shell to get at the meat. Well, do

60
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:51.759
you want to call it Austin?

61
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:52.920
Do you?

62
00:04:54.680 --> 00:04:55.000
Walter?

63
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:58.160
The time has come for you to take a stand

64
00:04:58.240 --> 00:04:59.240
and to stay there.

65
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.560
Those were good court We're going through all that again. Oh,

66
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:04.839
it's something to think about.

67
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.160
It was something to think about.

68
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:10.920
It was one of a great many problems and dangers,

69
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.639
but we considered each one of them, arrive at a

70
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:15.399
decision and put them.

71
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:16.800
All behind us.

72
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.040
Yes, there's no guarantee we'll get.

73
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.879
Away with you. Does it have to be done today?

74
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:24.920
Will it be easier tomorrow?

75
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:27.680
Yes, you're right.

76
00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.000
No, we're right.

77
00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:33.360
This is being done by the two of us.

78
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:38.439
But five o'clock time to go. I don't see the

79
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:39.680
waitress around will have to.

80
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:41.480
Leave a ten dollar bill on the table that will

81
00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:42.160
more than cover it.

82
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:47.720
Read I'm leaving now, Walters, with you or without you?

83
00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:03.120
Oh hello, yeah, uh war right, there's some time of contails. Oh,

What water? Dog? I'm sorry missus Sollen, I'm all right

94
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:55.000
now in your own words. Can you tell us what happened? Well,

95
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.839
a little tenants savage, I've already Oh I know, mister Powers.

96
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:01.800
But another eye witness reported the same event. Usually add

97
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:03.399
some details.

98
00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:07.199
That I don't mind, Lieutenant. I want to help much.

99
00:07:07.360 --> 00:07:11.800
I can thank you, as Walter and mister Powers.

100
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:15.560
Said, we came into the apartment. Well, it must have

101
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:21.720
been about four five fifteen. Dennis was listening to his

102
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:27.000
music in the study. I recently wanted paging a Thurday landscape.

103
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:29.720
I heard of him, Yes, Missus Allen.

104
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:31.079
Then you know.

105
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.600
I had it hung in the living room. Walter hadn't

106
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.319
seen it yet, so he and I went inside.

107
00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:41.519
And yes, missus land.

108
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.240
You know how you can get lost in a Thurday landscape.

109
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:51.160
So we must have been looking at it for all

110
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:55.920
of ten minutes. Then we went back to the study.

111
00:07:55.600 --> 00:07:56.959
And and.

112
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:01.360
Would you careful drink of water, missus Holland.

113
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:10.120
No, no, we saw Dennis flying on the floor. He

114
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:13.319
was very still, and you could see that dark stain

115
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:17.040
of blood on his shirt over his heart. You knew

116
00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:18.720
you you could tell that he was.

117
00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:22.120
And what else did you see?

118
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:23.879
What else did I see?

119
00:08:25.560 --> 00:08:30.040
Not very much? Nothing? Nothing? Well, did you notice that

120
00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:34.440
the what did you call it, mister Powers, that tacitor

121
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.960
collection Louisiana. That's the task of a collection. Did you

122
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:39.360
notice that it was gone?

123
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:41.960
I'm afraid the only thing I really saw was my

124
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:47.840
hus lying said, I tried to close my eyes against Lieutenant.

125
00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.879
Now, as I understand that your husband had these coins

126
00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:54.039
called the Tastit collection.

127
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:59.919
Yes, they were twelve English cold sovereigns, minted in sixty

128
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:03.159
sixty two by King Charles the second to honor one

129
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:05.000
of his friends, Lord Tacitus.

130
00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:07.960
And what was this collection worth?

131
00:09:09.200 --> 00:09:12.120
Or been insured for one hundred thousand dollars?

132
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:13.759
And your husband wanted to sell?

133
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:14.559
Yes?

134
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:23.000
Why Dennis was aterial person killed with sudden whims, subject

135
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:27.960
to unpredictable moods. He was always buying, selling, changing his mind.

136
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:30.120
He was not a part of his charm.

137
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.399
And where was the collection usually kept?

138
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:34.440
In avolved?

139
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:38.440
Then how was it he had these valuable coins in

140
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:38.919
the house.

141
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:45.360
The word was out among collectors and in the trade people.

142
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:45.799
Were coming to look.

143
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:49.039
Well, isn't it usual or sell these things at auction?

144
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:51.200
To turn them over to a dealer.

145
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.919
Benefiting his own way, he wanted to be sure that

146
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:56.080
the buyer would be someone who could appreciate the.

147
00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:01.240
Meaning of the collection. Then Dennis was whole all day.

148
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:05.159
Yeah, he was expecting buyers.

149
00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:10.320
At about the three I went out for a walk

150
00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:15.000
the night. I ran into mister Powers here. We stopped

151
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:19.279
for a drink and then decided to go home pick

152
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:21.320
up Dennis for dinner the theater.

153
00:10:21.759 --> 00:10:25.559
You came home, now you remember seeing the collection on

154
00:10:25.639 --> 00:10:26.039
his desk?

155
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:29.279
Yes, I'm sure I did.

156
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.799
It would have to be there because if he'd already

157
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:33.159
sold it.

158
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:34.360
He'd just said. So.

159
00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:37.320
Now you went into the other room to look at

160
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:41.799
the painting, and you were there for ten minutes. Now,

161
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.240
during these ten minutes, someone came in. I was a

162
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:46.879
person enter.

163
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:49.279
The only way is through the front store.

164
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:52.559
Money'd have to ring a bell. The door locks automatically,

165
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.080
and there's no sign of forced entry. You didn't hear

166
00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:56.559
a bell.

167
00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:58.919
No, would you see?

168
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:00.399
He had his music going.

169
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:05.200
It was very loud, and this same somewhat then shoots

170
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:10.480
your husband. You didn't hear a shot. No, and you

171
00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:14.799
didn't either, mister Powers. No, as she said, the music

172
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:19.200
was going full blast in the next room. Well, thank you,

173
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:25.679
missus Allen h Yes, that's out. Lieutenant Savage. Dennis Holland

174
00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:29.840
was my closest friend. He was also a fine human being.

175
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:34.919
His murderer must not go unpunished. We'll do what we

176
00:11:34.960 --> 00:11:38.759
can at Tom Mandy got your pictures ready, all right,

177
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:42.519
let's leave, Oh goodbye, missus Holland, mis Powers all A,

178
00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:54.399
don't father. We can let ourselves out. We got away

179
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:58.279
with this. This detective bought the story. I could tell

180
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:00.600
he bought the story. We need it.

181
00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.080
Easy for him, A simple story.

182
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:04.639
Snow frills.

183
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:06.440
He had the coins on the desk.

184
00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:08.120
We were in the next room.

185
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:11.639
Someone comes in to buy kills him. He's got the

186
00:12:11.720 --> 00:12:13.039
music going. We don't hear a thing.

187
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:14.279
We come back.

188
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:16.960
That's all over beautiful.

189
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:21.159
And do you want to know why? It's a good

190
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:23.240
story because it's built on a.

191
00:12:23.240 --> 00:12:24.879
Platform of facts.

192
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:29.320
Each one can be readily verifast First, then it's did

193
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:32.399
on the Passier collection. I think he did want to

194
00:12:32.440 --> 00:12:36.039
stop get taken out ads. Third, he did bring it

195
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:36.759
home from the vault.

196
00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:40.600
The clerk would remember, for people.

197
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:44.639
Were coming in and out all day. It's I said,

198
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:46.200
we went into the living room to look at a

199
00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.039
new Faraday painting, and there is a new Faraday painting.

200
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:53.159
Sixth We said we couldn't hear anything because the music

201
00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:57.919
was so loud. The neighbors will be glad to tell

202
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:00.759
the police out Constantly they complained about that love music.

203
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:07.399
Wait a minute, wait, good lord, what is it? Should

204
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:11.000
we be talking like this? What should we be saying

205
00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:14.879
what we're saying? It just occurs to me. There were

206
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.240
two or three detectors spoking about the place while the

207
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:22.879
Lieutenant Savage was talking to us. What were they doing?

208
00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:27.519
What are the features looking for fingerprints and well anything

209
00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:28.240
that might serve.

210
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:28.559
As a pete.

211
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:30.759
That's what they'd like us to think they were doing.

212
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:36.559
How do you know they weren't planting secret microphones whatever

213
00:13:36.759 --> 00:13:41.000
for to record this very conversation.

214
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:43.840
Oh what if they did it?

215
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:46.559
They did it, then you admit they did it.

216
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:49.440
Oh, come on, water, it's so far fat.

217
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:53.399
Use anything far fits today. Look, a man is murdered,

218
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:57.480
the police automatically suspect his wife and his friend, not

219
00:13:57.519 --> 00:13:58.000
when they're the.

220
00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:00.000
One hundred thousand dollars robbery.

221
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:02.240
Robbery story is our story.

222
00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:05.559
Now, look, we have a lot to do. Birth and

223
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:07.559
hide the gun and the coin upon the farm.

224
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:08.399
Take it like a.

225
00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:11.000
True and loyal for and make the funeral arrangements, will you?

226
00:14:11.559 --> 00:14:14.039
But before you do that, take me home to my

227
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:17.480
mother's and then you can return to your place and

228
00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:34.519
I'll call you.

229
00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:41.399
What what's this music? Where's this music coming from?

230
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:41.639
From?

231
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:45.440
A record player? A record player? But I don't have

232
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:57.159
a record player. I bought you one, you book, Dennis, Yes, Dennis,

233
00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:04.559
you're dead. You have to be dead, Dennis, He's dead,

234
00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:14.600
and get your standing year. That's a pretty good declarative sentence,

235
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:19.919
isn't it. You're dead and you're standing here. It consists

236
00:15:19.960 --> 00:15:23.759
of two independent faults, and you would think that one

237
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:29.440
negates the other. Well, grammar is grammar, and murder is murder.

238
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:35.039
But surely in this case something has to give. It

239
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:37.720
will give me a few minutes breathing space, and I

240
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:54.120
shall return shortly for that too. The basic drawback of

241
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:59.279
being dead is that it lasts forever. This bit of

242
00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:02.919
wisdom was uttered by an anonymous character in a forgotten

243
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:09.440
novel by a completely undistinguished writer named T. Presley mcclello. However,

244
00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:13.120
it does seem to have captured what was always considered

245
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:18.039
a fundamental human truth. Are we about to discover a

246
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:23.080
new vision? At five point fifteen pm, mister Walter Powers

247
00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:28.000
shoots and kills his best friend, mister Dennis Holland. At

248
00:16:28.159 --> 00:16:32.759
nine pm that same evening, mister Walter Powers returns to

249
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:37.440
his apartment and who is sitting there listening to a

250
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:46.080
Beethoven symphony by mister Dennis Collin? Dennis here, I'm there,

251
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:51.159
start with that. So you're dead? Who knows? I've better

252
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:56.879
new water? You kill me, but you're here? Will you

253
00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:01.120
call be here? If I kill you? Less? You're imagining it?

254
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:04.559
Yes, yes, that's it.

255
00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:08.599
It's all in my imagination. If it's your imagination, how

256
00:17:08.599 --> 00:17:13.079
do you account for the music? I can account for it.

257
00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:20.119
Turn ything off if you say so, woten, But still

258
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:24.240
you must account for it. You know you don't own

259
00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:29.000
a record player? Did you subconsciously go out and buy one?

260
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:32.119
Why would I buy one? Because you're now in the

261
00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:38.359
hands of your conscience. Remorse what I did, I would

262
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:42.640
do again. It's just that I have to expect a

263
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:47.880
few bad moments. I think I see what you do

264
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:53.160
see me. I'm here. The record player proves it. If

265
00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:55.559
I'm just a creature of your guilty imagination, then how

266
00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:59.000
do you account for the plan? And maybe you needed

267
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:03.000
it to help the name, But the fact is it's here.

268
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:07.119
How did you get here? Well, I must have gone

269
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.119
out and brought it myself. When you spent the afternoon

270
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:14.519
with Rita, you killed me exactly fourteen minutes out of five.

271
00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:17.079
You were at the apartment with the police and one

272
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:19.880
thing or another till eight. Then you had to take

273
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:23.359
Rita to her mother's and here you are at nine o'clock.

274
00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:26.319
But every minute to count it for if it's still

275
00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:28.200
I don't know, no, no water, the record player is

276
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:32.079
here because I brought it, and I brought it as

277
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:36.759
a gift, A gift, I orwe you a present for

278
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:41.319
what for killing me? Well, you say, if you hadn't

279
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:43.119
done it, I'd have had to do it myself, and

280
00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:46.079
I just wouldn't be able to summon the courage. So

281
00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:49.799
let did begin by thanking you. Yeah, I don't understand.

282
00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:53.200
I was very sick. Quarter for that percent. I'd be

283
00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:56.480
lucky to live a here. Oh I didn't know. Well,

284
00:18:56.519 --> 00:19:00.400
I just found out lucky to have a year, and

285
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:02.599
they said in a few weeks there might be some

286
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:07.279
very intense pain. Then you would have died. Yes, I

287
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:12.160
would have died anyway, but in terrible agony. That's one

288
00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:16.240
reason I thank you, one reason, where the other is

289
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:23.960
I'm broke. You were broke, croustas, cleaned out, washed up.

290
00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:26.720
Why do you think I was selling the Tacitor collection?

291
00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:31.680
I don't know. I thought you were bored with all.

292
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:35.039
Never it had to go to meet my debts. In

293
00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:37.319
about four or five months, the truth about my financial

294
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:40.960
juggling would come out. I'd be disgraced. There, I'd be

295
00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:45.279
deathly illstone broke, and under indictment. You saved me from

296
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:49.880
that water. I thank you. That's what I came back

297
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:54.319
to tell you. But that the dead cannot come back.

298
00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:56.720
You know, I used to think that myself. But the

299
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:00.720
deads do come back all the time. That so many

300
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.759
of the living are too blind, too insensitive to see them,

301
00:20:04.440 --> 00:20:08.599
to feel them, to hear them. I hear you, I

302
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:13.240
see you so clearly. But it has to be my imagination.

303
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:21.799
I'll turn this on. Listen, that's not your imagination. I

304
00:20:21.839 --> 00:20:24.200
want you to develop a taste for it. Water. You

305
00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:28.119
fank me of what's going to happen. I'll go back

306
00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:33.079
where I belong, where you belie don't belong here. I

307
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:37.599
just have some unfinished business. That's all unfinished business. I

308
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:41.599
have to take care of you me. You're my best friend.

309
00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:45.599
Look at what you did for me. But I murdered you.

310
00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:50.680
I murdered you in cold blood. You had that look

311
00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:54.440
in your eyes just before I pull the trigger. Do

312
00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:57.400
you think I'll ever forget that look? Or you're always

313
00:20:57.480 --> 00:20:58.319
so metodramatic?

314
00:20:58.359 --> 00:20:58.680
Waldon.

315
00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:01.519
As I fired, there was a brilliant flash, you're telling me,

316
00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:03.559
I thought i'd go blind for a second. Your eyes

317
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:08.839
became very bright, and then they started to become darker

318
00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:16.079
and darker as the light has them flickered and slowly faded.

319
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:20.960
Then all the light went out of him.

320
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:22.039
I was dead.

321
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:25.680
Yes, that's exactly what it feels like. All the light

322
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:29.079
goes out of you and you're lost in a dark void.

323
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:34.079
I'm sorry. Then, Oh, you're not the blame. She puts

324
00:21:34.119 --> 00:21:37.240
you up to it. I know she did. She knows

325
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:41.400
how to drive a man wild. Well, she'll go time

326
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:44.640
to you, not awhile. You'll sense it in her eyes,

327
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:50.079
her restless eyes. Already she's planning for your successor now

328
00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:53.279
wait a minute, I unconscious. Then not all she has

329
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:57.319
the many men, but she will one day, and then

330
00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:02.359
she'll be prepared driving it. What did you do with

331
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:06.799
the gun and the coins? I hid them? Why didn't

332
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:10.599
you destroy them? Because she said to hide them? Hide them?

333
00:22:10.680 --> 00:22:14.720
Hide them where up at the farm? What for so

334
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:17.839
she can have that gun handy in case she'll need it.

335
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:21.079
Why would she need it? Why she needed a gun

336
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:21.319
for me?

337
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:21.720
Didn't she?

338
00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:25.160
Are you? Are you saying she may not use it

339
00:22:25.240 --> 00:22:28.519
to shoot you? She'll bring that gun to the police,

340
00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:33.519
to the police, you know what you'll say? Come on, Dennis,

341
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:36.039
what can she say? She's in it up to her neck,

342
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:38.759
which is why she wants to get out. But ruttens,

343
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:43.000
She says, she is such a resourceful, inventive, creative woman.

344
00:22:44.079 --> 00:22:50.079
Can't you imagine what she could say? Think, Walter, think.

345
00:22:56.799 --> 00:22:59.400
He did it? What power did it.

346
00:22:59.319 --> 00:22:59.799
Are you with?

347
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:04.640
She's using water powers. Missus Holland, protect me, don't kill me.

348
00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:05.759
He's insane?

349
00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:07.200
What is insane?

350
00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:09.720
I'll tell you everything.

351
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:14.039
We came back to the apartment, or to hateed Dennis.

352
00:23:15.319 --> 00:23:18.920
She shut Dennis, shut him in cold.

353
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:20.240
Just a minute, please, missus Holland was.

354
00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:22.759
In one of those coins that ties to the collection.

355
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:25.759
He shut Dennis and he forced me to go along

356
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:26.279
with the story.

357
00:23:26.359 --> 00:23:27.119
Or ef you kill me.

358
00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:30.640
You don't know what he's like, missus Holland, have you

359
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:32.839
got any sort of proof?

360
00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:39.680
I know where he hit the coin, hit the cat?

361
00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:47.319
Could she play a scene like that? Is reader capable

362
00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:47.519
of it?

363
00:23:47.559 --> 00:23:47.799
Walter?

364
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:52.160
But she loves because she also loved me. It comes

365
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:57.000
and goes with herm Why cling to a dying tree?

366
00:23:57.720 --> 00:24:02.720
Why treasure would no longer blessom? Those words those were?

367
00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:06.200
How would I know those words? Oh foolish water? Didn't

368
00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:08.799
she also speak them to me one day? And she

369
00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:12.119
whispered them on a sailboat. We were running before a

370
00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:15.519
freshening breeze. A long, honey color hair was flying straight

371
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:18.359
back in the wind, a wind that also held her

372
00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:22.119
shirt taught against that beautiful curving line of the body.

373
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:23.680
She didn't make her.

374
00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:26.880
Believe anything at a moment like that. Tell me where

375
00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:29.680
and when did she whisper those words to you? It

376
00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:34.839
can't be real, You can't be real. Listen to the

377
00:24:34.920 --> 00:24:35.640
music again.

378
00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:36.359
The water.

379
00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:42.240
Only I could have brought it here. It proves this

380
00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:46.240
is real. It proves I'm here to help you, here

381
00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:48.680
to save you. Saved me from what.

382
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:50.720
From her?

383
00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:51.119
Is that?

384
00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:51.279
It?

385
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:54.960
Yes? Because she'll want to get rid of me one day?

386
00:24:55.079 --> 00:25:01.319
Right now, there's something you forget. Sure there was another

387
00:25:01.359 --> 00:25:04.079
guy before you, and she ditched him for you, and

388
00:25:04.160 --> 00:25:08.839
she got rid of you for me, And you say

389
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:15.160
my turn's coming up exactly, Well, maybe it isn't. Maybe

390
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:19.599
there's something you can't face up to. Maybe you and

391
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:24.400
how many other guys before you simply weren't men enough

392
00:25:24.440 --> 00:25:30.119
for her. Ah ha, mister Matchau, All right, let's assume

393
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:33.559
that's true. Then your whole theory flies out the window,

394
00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:37.279
only to walk in again through the door. That little

395
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:41.960
scene in the police station. What little scene?

396
00:25:42.279 --> 00:25:42.599
You mean?

397
00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:46.000
That imaginary little episode will have to take place? You

398
00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:49.200
know why? Because you say so? Of course, logic demands it.

399
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:49.920
What rot it?

400
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:52.839
The logic of reality? A man is shot to death

401
00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:55.960
in the house at the time? Are his wife and

402
00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:57.240
his best friend?

403
00:25:57.920 --> 00:25:58.039
Now?

404
00:25:58.079 --> 00:26:01.599
Woul't be investigating? Detictive asks himself at the very beginning,

405
00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:06.920
is are these two having an affair? I would say

406
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:12.039
he's convinced they are. Why because he's trained, his experience

407
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:15.079
teaches him to look for those things. But how can

408
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:18.759
he tell people in love give themselves away? And any

409
00:26:18.880 --> 00:26:22.160
one of an infinite number of little things? Walter A glance,

410
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:26.039
a gesture, smile, a frown. Who knows? And so we

411
00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:29.039
begin with the old Lieutenant Savage. Do you think he's

412
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:35.839
adult podding policeman? Don't sell him shorts, Lieutenant Savage. What

413
00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:39.480
do you think he's doing right now? Howard Diner? You

414
00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:44.160
can fecture it. He's in his office at his desk,

415
00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:51.160
Lieutennis Savage. Oh, yes, the inspector. I'm doing the report

416
00:26:51.279 --> 00:26:55.240
right now. Well, Dennis Holland had these coins worth about

417
00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:58.960
one hundred thousand, A court could have come in killed

418
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:01.440
them and grabbed him. So we have to run a

419
00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:04.640
net among dealers, collectors, and so forth. On the other hand,

420
00:27:04.920 --> 00:27:07.519
we got the wife and the best friend. Now they're

421
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:10.880
in the next room while a thirty eight caliber revolver

422
00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:13.720
goes off and they claim they didn't hear a thing.

423
00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:17.720
Well that's what they say. I think I get a

424
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:20.319
little bit of a clique there. Well, I want to

425
00:27:20.319 --> 00:27:23.279
give it a play. Yeah, I'll get right on it.

426
00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:30.920
And he's on it this very minute.

427
00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:33.319
What will we discover?

428
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:38.480
Women, Why don't we discover nothing? Are you trying to

429
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:43.359
tell me there was nothing? We were very discreet, discreet.

430
00:27:44.640 --> 00:27:49.720
Nobody knows about us, nobody. Let's check that out. We

431
00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:54.519
are now in the area of routine, basic police routine.

432
00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:58.279
The police are experts when it comes to routine, and

433
00:27:58.359 --> 00:28:00.559
if it's a crime, it can be sound. The use

434
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:06.799
of routine. The police crank it every time. I know

435
00:28:06.799 --> 00:28:08.799
what you're talking about. I wish you didn't know what

436
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:12.279
I was talking about. Tomorrow morning till it Savage is

437
00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:15.200
going to ring Rita's doorbell, and do you know what

438
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:18.079
he's going to ask her? How could I call it?

439
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:20.440
It's a question. He couldn't ask her this afternoon. She

440
00:28:20.519 --> 00:28:24.240
was upset. But it's a question both you and she

441
00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:30.440
can very well expect. What is the question? What you

442
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:34.839
should know? It's the question that marks the beginning of

443
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:45.640
the routine, From the beginning of the routine, the end

444
00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:50.000
of which leads to a lifetime in a cell or

445
00:28:50.559 --> 00:28:54.359
just a fleeting moment on a scaffold. Neither is a

446
00:28:54.400 --> 00:28:59.119
prospect which actually pleases. And what is this question that

447
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:02.920
can give birth to all the wolves and troubles that

448
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:08.599
threaten to engulf water Powers? Not to mention Weeta Holland, Well,

449
00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:12.039
we'll give birth to Act three shortly.

450
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:14.720
Me.

451
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.680
Whoever it was that said we are a world of strangers.

452
00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:30.319
We see each other dimly as flickering shadows in a

453
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:34.559
darkened room may have had something. What do we really

454
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:38.599
know about the next fellow? Water Powers and Dennis Holland

455
00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:44.119
were lifelong friends. And yet did Walter know he'd be

456
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:48.119
doing Denis a favor by killing him? What question is

457
00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:52.359
Lieutenant Savage going to ask? Can't you picture it? He

458
00:29:52.359 --> 00:29:56.039
will ring the bell, Lita will answer the door. He

459
00:29:56.079 --> 00:30:00.680
will apologize for a staving her. He will say, I

460
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:04.160
just have a few questions, missus Holland yes, you said

461
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:07.039
you were at home with your husband till three o'clock

462
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:08.319
yesterday afternoon.

463
00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:09.240
At three o'clock.

464
00:30:10.200 --> 00:30:11.680
Yes, that's about right.

465
00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:15.319
And then you went out for a walk. Yeah, and

466
00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:17.880
then you said ken And I don't remember whether you

467
00:30:17.960 --> 00:30:22.799
said you met mister Powers or you ran into mister Powers.

468
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:25.599
Oh well, it wasn't.

469
00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:29.599
A set appointment or anything. Yes, that would happen every day.

470
00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:33.880
I see. Now you said you went in for a drink.

471
00:30:34.599 --> 00:30:37.079
Yes, we generally worked.

472
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:39.720
Where where do we go for a drink?

473
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:40.799
Oh?

474
00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:44.039
Well, that little place is south the square.

475
00:30:43.759 --> 00:30:49.160
Miletti, I see Mileetti's. Thank you very much, Yes, missus Hollen.

476
00:30:50.119 --> 00:30:51.519
Is that important?

477
00:30:52.279 --> 00:31:02.440
It's just routine, rutee. That's the first routine question. I

478
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:05.000
wonder what do you suppose will be the second? I

479
00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:07.839
don't know what are you supposed he's going to ask it?

480
00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:14.599
Milettis of course, miletteis mil Lettis. You would sit at

481
00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:18.319
the piano bar, wouldn't you? Yes? And Jerry the piano

482
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:22.839
player knew you, didn't he I had? Yeah, what's he

483
00:31:22.960 --> 00:31:24.480
going to tell Lieutenant Savage?

484
00:31:25.440 --> 00:31:26.000
How would I know?

485
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:26.319
Bar?

486
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.440
Now you know this is a murder case. Jerry is

487
00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:33.319
not about to lie to a come, Jerry's going to

488
00:31:33.319 --> 00:31:35.599
tell Lieutenant Savage exactly what he saw.

489
00:31:36.599 --> 00:31:38.119
And you know what he saw?

490
00:31:38.880 --> 00:31:39.079
Well?

491
00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:42.920
The I mean they come in most the afternoon for

492
00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:46.119
a happy hour. You know what would they do? What

493
00:31:46.119 --> 00:31:46.599
would they do?

494
00:31:47.680 --> 00:31:48.000
Where?

495
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:50.720
Well, a couple of grids to listen to me very piano?

496
00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:53.680
I mean, what were I supposed to do? Did they

497
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:59.160
all hands? Well? Did you ever see them hold hands?

498
00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:05.799
Now that's a direct question. Yeah, how often every time

499
00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:08.759
they were here alone? I don't know. I don't come,

500
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:13.000
but they did hold hands? Play it you go out

501
00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:15.839
for me. They could just be friendly. Did he ever

502
00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:19.400
put his arm around her? You really might have? Once

503
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:27.400
a twice? They ever kiss? Maybe once a trice. All right, Jerry,

504
00:32:27.680 --> 00:32:30.440
that's good enough. I'll let you off the hook.

505
00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:31.559
Now.

506
00:32:35.279 --> 00:32:41.160
Now that's where the routine pauses, gathers momentum, and moves ahead.

507
00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:45.359
So what do you suppose Lieutenant Savage is going to do?

508
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:48.720
Now he knows that you wouldn't be her having an affair,

509
00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:50.640
But he has no pro hole. He knows it in

510
00:32:50.640 --> 00:32:53.759
his bones water. He has the building blocks. All he

511
00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:56.680
has to do is put them in place. So he's

512
00:32:56.720 --> 00:33:01.599
going to ask questions, many questions of men people. Think

513
00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:03.839
of all the people who knew about or suspected that

514
00:33:03.880 --> 00:33:07.480
you and Reader were having an affair. Think in particular

515
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:15.400
of medicent Webber. Milica. The name drains all the color

516
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:21.079
from your face, and rightly so. Now, when in the

517
00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:25.799
course of his routine investigation, Lieutenant Savage talks to Medicine's Webber,

518
00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:29.480
what do you suppose he's going to tell him? Would

519
00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:32.680
I love to be there to hear it, But you

520
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:38.000
know perfectly well just exactly what she'll say. I would

521
00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:42.599
rather not discuss Walter Power, missus Webb. This is a

522
00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:43.839
murder investigation.

523
00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:45.880
What you want to know from me is was there

524
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:49.240
anything between Water and Rita Harland? Yes, ma'am, And let

525
00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:52.000
me say that about some time I read this story

526
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:57.880
in the paper about poor Dennis how a lover shot him.

527
00:33:57.920 --> 00:33:58.960
I don't believe a word.

528
00:33:59.559 --> 00:33:59.920
You don't.

529
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:01.640
No, and you don't either.

530
00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:05.640
Walter and Rita were happening in an affair, and you

531
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:07.319
would testify the Persian court.

532
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:11.320
Not that only because my testimony would be prejudicial.

533
00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:15.039
We see, I have reason to get test Water Power.

534
00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:16.519
Where are yes? For reasons?

535
00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:20.960
He was engaged to my younger sister. He broke it

536
00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:22.760
off to run around.

537
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:27.239
With that married woman. Dolls took it very hard. I

538
00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:29.360
tried to tell her she was let her off out

539
00:34:29.400 --> 00:34:29.679
of it.

540
00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:34.840
But she was a very romantic child. She was at

541
00:34:34.840 --> 00:34:38.199
the beach last summer. There was an accident.

542
00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:40.079
She drowned.

543
00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:43.079
I think she did it deliberately.

544
00:34:44.119 --> 00:34:47.079
That's all I can tell you. You know of any

545
00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:50.719
way we could prove reader Holland and water Powers were

546
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:57.880
having an affair. No, wait, of course I do your motel.

547
00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:00.559
I want to twist with him.

548
00:35:01.480 --> 00:35:02.440
I had him shadowed.

549
00:35:03.000 --> 00:35:06.159
The detective reported that Walter and Rita had spent several

550
00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:14.840
nights there. I presented the evidence to Doth. Yes, that

551
00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:19.199
was the end of things between them. Was off at

552
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:21.679
the beginning of the end of everything for Dars.

553
00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:29.440
The Riverview Motel, Thank you, missus Webbin. The Riverview Motel.

554
00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:33.000
Water That's what Medison will tell him. And how many

555
00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:36.559
desk clerks, chambermaids and cocktail waitresses will remember the two

556
00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:40.199
of you together there. What are you trying to convince

557
00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:42.639
me of? Well, but you are getting closer and closer

558
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:44.960
to that little scene in the police station where she

559
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:48.880
sells you down the river. You don't know how much

560
00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:52.239
she really loves me, she would never do that, which

561
00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:56.480
she may have no charge water the routine, It's become

562
00:35:56.480 --> 00:36:00.800
a juggernaut. It threatens the ride right over her. Now,

563
00:36:00.920 --> 00:36:03.920
Lieutenant Savage is going to go back to her. Now,

564
00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:07.960
Lieutenant Savage's arms, he's ready, and you can just picture

565
00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:11.880
what he's going to say. You're crazy, You mean you

566
00:36:11.960 --> 00:36:15.159
can't picture it? Water? You mean he isn't going to

567
00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:22.320
ask missus Holland, are you having an affair with Water Powers?

568
00:36:23.000 --> 00:36:25.480
Should I repeat the question? How care you?

569
00:36:26.320 --> 00:36:29.159
Would you have no right to ask such an indulting land.

570
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:35.599
If I were to go to the Riverview Motel, di,

571
00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:39.280
did you much? Would I find witnesses among the personnel

572
00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:42.280
who could testify that you and mister Powers engage the

573
00:36:42.400 --> 00:36:47.880
room there? Quite often? Would I? You can?

574
00:36:49.519 --> 00:36:51.920
Did Joseph Powers?

575
00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:52.639
Gee?

576
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:57.360
Did so?

577
00:36:57.639 --> 00:37:02.480
You see water? The scene? We are ready for the scene.

578
00:37:03.559 --> 00:37:07.960
You don't believe it. I don't believe any of this,

579
00:37:08.760 --> 00:37:12.679
and I can't. I'm going crazy.

580
00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:13.679
I have this.

581
00:37:14.039 --> 00:37:17.599
Hallucination that you're here, that a dead man is talking

582
00:37:17.679 --> 00:37:19.920
to me, that a man I killed is here in

583
00:37:20.000 --> 00:37:23.280
this room targing to me for me. It were an hallucination.

584
00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:26.119
All of this is Henria all of this is here

585
00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:31.000
and phantom oh Rita, and I must do is not

586
00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:33.719
lose our heads. He has to send you down the

587
00:37:33.800 --> 00:37:38.480
river water. Now you're not really. All I have to

588
00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:42.679
do is cut you out of my mind. I'm real water.

589
00:37:43.760 --> 00:37:48.400
It's a reality you can't understand. Yes, in this room, however,

590
00:37:48.559 --> 00:37:52.079
there is a reality that you can understand. It takes

591
00:37:52.159 --> 00:37:55.039
up room. You can stub your toe against it, you

592
00:37:55.079 --> 00:37:57.199
can touch it, try to switch on.

593
00:37:57.320 --> 00:37:59.199
You can hear it.

594
00:37:59.320 --> 00:38:03.360
The record player. I brought you the record player. You

595
00:38:03.480 --> 00:38:07.039
left the house at three this afternoon. It wasn't here,

596
00:38:07.480 --> 00:38:10.800
was it? No, Like he tells you why, I brought

597
00:38:10.800 --> 00:38:13.039
it as a gift, so that you would believe me.

598
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:14.039
Right.

599
00:38:14.079 --> 00:38:16.800
It's the finest you can buy water, exactly like the

600
00:38:16.840 --> 00:38:20.360
one I have, or I had in my house. You see,

601
00:38:20.960 --> 00:38:27.320
look at it, listen to it. Only I could have

602
00:38:27.400 --> 00:38:33.440
brought it. Yes, Yes, place yourself in my hands. I'm

603
00:38:33.480 --> 00:38:34.880
the only one who can help you.

604
00:38:34.960 --> 00:38:35.280
Really.

605
00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:39.599
She mustn't play that scene in the police station. She's

606
00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:40.360
capable of it.

607
00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:42.679
Didn't he isn't he?

608
00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:48.679
Yes, one way or another, one day or another. You

609
00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:52.039
have to be killed, just as I had to be killed.

610
00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:59.440
Kill her first well, now you have to. But that

611
00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:03.719
will surely I I I mean the police. U I'll

612
00:39:03.719 --> 00:39:05.519
be arrested for murder. Know you won't.

613
00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:07.440
What do you mean?

614
00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:08.079
I won't?

615
00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:08.639
For her?

616
00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:12.360
I'm dead, which means I see things.

617
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:14.480
Kill her.

618
00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:20.079
You won't be caught. Right now, she's asleep, all alone

619
00:39:20.400 --> 00:39:26.960
at her mother's house. Go there, quietly, kill her quietly.

620
00:39:28.360 --> 00:39:33.360
No one will know. Kill her. You'll get away with it.

621
00:39:35.079 --> 00:39:43.360
Trust me, believe me, be believe you. Isn't this music

622
00:39:43.559 --> 00:39:49.199
proof that you can believe me? Yes? Yes?

623
00:39:56.079 --> 00:39:56.199
Who?

624
00:40:00.159 --> 00:40:01.920
Ship? Who?

625
00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:02.039
No?

626
00:40:03.199 --> 00:40:04.800
No? Who? Want not?

627
00:40:04.920 --> 00:40:05.639
Even life?

628
00:40:06.400 --> 00:40:11.519
Oh?

629
00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:16.079
I hope you got rid of the nine? Through it

630
00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:22.119
off the bridge? Good? No one will ever find it?

631
00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:27.559
Well happen? Is now nothing? The police probe and try

632
00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:34.320
and poke around, but proof not at all? Sit tip,

633
00:40:35.679 --> 00:40:43.199
sack tie, sit tip and enjoy the music? Who who

634
00:40:43.199 --> 00:40:46.280
could that be? Why don't you answer it?

635
00:40:49.719 --> 00:40:50.119
Oh?

636
00:40:50.199 --> 00:40:52.920
Hey, this is a break, I've glide. You're home? Well

637
00:40:53.440 --> 00:40:56.039
who are you? Who do you think I am? I'm

638
00:40:56.039 --> 00:40:58.920
glad you're enjoying the set. Maybe you want to buy one?

639
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:00.000
Eh?

640
00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:02.039
Hey, maybe that's not such bad play to that size?

641
00:41:02.159 --> 00:41:05.480
What he was talking about? This game? Wanted to give

642
00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:08.159
her husband a surprise birthday present an apartment for E.

643
00:41:09.000 --> 00:41:11.599
She bought him this year record player. What are you

644
00:41:11.719 --> 00:41:14.719
saying on that stupid salesman the store wrote down tweet

645
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:18.159
on a ticket instead the super let me in here earlier.

646
00:41:18.639 --> 00:41:21.199
You'll make a mistake. That's what I'm saying. I made

647
00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:25.079
a mistakes this record player. If it's a idea from

648
00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:28.559
Dennis to look fair, believe me. Explained it again, and

649
00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:32.239
Dennis tell him. Tell him. You see this woman calls me, Dennis,

650
00:41:32.519 --> 00:41:35.719
she's having a pit Where's that record player? I paid

651
00:41:35.719 --> 00:41:39.079
for that record player, I said, lady. I delivered that

652
00:41:39.199 --> 00:41:42.000
record player. I still live in the apartment three like

653
00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:45.079

657
00:41:56.239 --> 00:42:01.280
I just explained, Dennis gave it to me. You. Dennis

658
00:42:01.320 --> 00:42:04.360
told me it would be all right. Look if I

659

have to get a cop, Dennis said, nothing's gonna happen

660
00:42:06.760 --> 00:42:10.119

662
00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:20.679

Yeah of course he did, Yes, Dennis, who brought me

00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:43.599
you just excuse me?

669
00:42:44.440 --> 00:42:45.119
Excuse me?

670
00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:57.400
The end of the story, it writes itself, that poor

671
00:42:57.480 --> 00:43:01.519
frightened sound technician. Can't you see him hailing a police

672
00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:04.880
cruiser or making a frantic call from the nearest phone booths.

673
00:43:05.079 --> 00:43:07.519
Can't you see the police arrive and take our friend

674
00:43:07.599 --> 00:43:10.960
Walter into custody. And you know perfectly well that poor

675
00:43:11.000 --> 00:43:14.159
Water has had it one way or another. It's probably

676
00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:16.719
a cell in an asylum for the rest of his life.

677
00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:20.400
If he ever recovers, there'll be a cell in a prison.

678
00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:26.519
Which would you choose? Choose neither. I'll be back shortly.

679
00:43:37.199 --> 00:43:42.159
Can the dead? Do the dead ever come back? Of

680
00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:46.400
course they do all the time. They come back in

681
00:43:46.639 --> 00:43:51.000
what we do, in what we say, and even in

682
00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:54.800
what we are. They are gone from our sight, their

683
00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:59.880
voices are still, and we see them and hear them.

684
00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:04.480
So clearly sometimes who was it that said to be

685
00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:07.880
remembered is to live forever?

686
00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:13.000
Our cast included Ralph Bell, Robert Dryden, Evie Jester, and

687
00:44:13.079 --> 00:44:17.000
Sam Gray. The entire production was under the direction of

688
00:44:17.079 --> 00:44:22.559
I'mond Brown, My dear, I.

689
00:44:22.480 --> 00:44:29.599
Have to admit that was an excellent idea. Oh why

690
00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:40.119
every sip is so comforting, so cherished? Ah. I don't

691
00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:44.960
know about you, but I really needed this to have

692
00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:56.159
a moment, to reflect, a moment too appreciate. Well, I'm

693
00:44:56.199 --> 00:45:00.159
glad you're here to do it too. I suppose at

694
00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:03.519
the end of the day we all have our own

695
00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:18.760
Christmas Story.

696
00:45:20.679 --> 00:45:25.280
The Mutual Broadcasting System presents The Mysterious Traveler, written, produced

697
00:45:25.280 --> 00:45:26.400
and directed by Robert A.

698
00:45:26.559 --> 00:45:27.719
Arthur and David Cogan.

699
00:45:28.159 --> 00:45:32.079
I'm starring two of radio's foremost personalities, Leon Jenny and

700
00:45:32.119 --> 00:45:41.079
Anne Shepherd in Christmas Story.

701
00:45:45.239 --> 00:45:48.719
This is the Mysterious Traveler inviting you to join me

702
00:45:49.199 --> 00:45:52.039
on another journey into the realm of the strange and

703
00:45:52.119 --> 00:45:58.760
the terrifying. I hope you will enjoy the trip and

704
00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:02.280
it will really woo and cheer you a little. So

705
00:46:02.519 --> 00:46:05.559
settle back, get a good grip on your nerves, and

706
00:46:05.760 --> 00:46:08.880
be comfortable. If you can as we hear the tale

707
00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:23.360
of an enterprising young man. It's the drama called Christmas Story.

708
00:46:28.519 --> 00:46:31.480
The name is Steve Ferroll, and I've just gotten through

709
00:46:31.519 --> 00:46:33.440
playing Santa Claus.

710
00:46:33.639 --> 00:46:35.679
Yeah, you're looking at a guy who really played.

711
00:46:35.480 --> 00:46:39.280
It to the hills. It all started last month in Seattle.

712
00:46:39.840 --> 00:46:41.239
I was out of a job and down to my

713
00:46:41.320 --> 00:46:44.320
last few bucks. I was looking through the morning paper

714
00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:47.079
when I noticed this small ad in the personal column

715
00:46:48.039 --> 00:46:51.880
Driving to New York November fifteenth, man wanted to assist

716
00:46:51.920 --> 00:46:54.800
in driving free transportation.

717
00:46:54.519 --> 00:46:56.039
Paul Harris Hotel Royal.

718
00:46:56.880 --> 00:46:58.840
Well, I'd always wanted to see New York, and this

719
00:46:59.000 --> 00:47:00.519
was as good as anyway getting there.

720
00:47:00.639 --> 00:47:02.599
So I went up to this Hotel Royal to see

721
00:47:02.599 --> 00:47:11.079
this guy, Harris Harris. Yes, my name is Farrell. See Farrell.

722
00:47:11.800 --> 00:47:13.960
I read your ad in the morning paper. Oh yes,

723
00:47:14.119 --> 00:47:15.280
once you come in, think you.

724
00:47:17.760 --> 00:47:19.920
If you haven't already found someone to help you drive

725
00:47:19.960 --> 00:47:21.760
in New York, I'd like them off of my services.

726
00:47:21.800 --> 00:47:24.519
Well, as a matter of fact, I haven't. Can you

727
00:47:24.599 --> 00:47:26.280
leave for New York a day after tomorrow?

728
00:47:26.360 --> 00:47:28.159
Sure, anytime we're good.

729
00:47:28.639 --> 00:47:30.480
Then when I'd come around at nine in the morning

730
00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:31.880
and we'll get off to an early stack.

731
00:47:32.039 --> 00:47:52.639
Okay, mister Harris nine it is. I mean, when you're

732
00:47:52.639 --> 00:47:54.159
tired driving, mister Harrison.

733
00:47:53.840 --> 00:47:54.360
I'll take over.

734
00:47:54.679 --> 00:47:58.079
Thanks you will. Why not call me Paul?

735
00:47:58.519 --> 00:48:05.159
Okay, See it's my first name. Lewiston, thirty miles Lewiston.

736
00:48:05.639 --> 00:48:08.920
That's Idaho is Yeah. We're just crossing the state line

737
00:48:08.920 --> 00:48:09.519
into Idaho.

738
00:48:09.880 --> 00:48:12.639
This is all new to me. I was born and

739
00:48:12.719 --> 00:48:16.159
raised in Alaska. It's my first trip to the state.

740
00:48:16.719 --> 00:48:18.559
Well, you're going to see a lot of scenery between

741
00:48:18.559 --> 00:48:19.320
here and New York.

742
00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:22.280
Yes, I'm looking forward to it. Life must have been

743
00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:23.519
pretty rugged and alast game.

744
00:48:23.599 --> 00:48:24.199
Oh it was.

745
00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:28.639
My parents were homestead and I never saw a city

746
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:29.800
until a week ago when I.

747
00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:32.280
Arrived in Seattle. How come here going to New York?

748
00:48:32.880 --> 00:48:36.159
Well, my parents died last year and my grandfather, whom

749
00:48:36.159 --> 00:48:38.199
I've never seen, wrote asking me.

750
00:48:38.199 --> 00:48:38.960
To come visit him.

751
00:48:39.119 --> 00:48:39.880
You never seen him?

752
00:48:39.880 --> 00:48:40.039
There?

753
00:48:40.199 --> 00:48:43.559
No, No, There was some sort of squabble between my

754
00:48:43.679 --> 00:48:46.760
parents and my grandfather before I was born and they

755
00:48:46.800 --> 00:48:49.599
went to alash Gang and in all the years since then,

756
00:48:50.360 --> 00:48:52.000
my grandfather never wrote to them.

757
00:48:52.519 --> 00:48:53.639
Sounds like a stubborn guy.

758
00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:55.119
Yeah, he sure died.

759
00:48:56.679 --> 00:48:58.280
What are you going to New York for?

760
00:48:58.679 --> 00:49:01.239
Oh, mainly to look for a job, job, and I've

761
00:49:01.239 --> 00:49:02.679
always wanted to see you the big city.

762
00:49:02.960 --> 00:49:06.519
Sure, why uh do you mind taking over now, Steve?

763
00:49:06.599 --> 00:49:07.639
My eyes are getting tired.

764
00:49:07.760 --> 00:49:09.760
They glad to just pull over the side of their own.

765
00:49:13.639 --> 00:49:16.239
It's a long way from Seattle to New York, and

766
00:49:16.320 --> 00:49:18.440
there wasn't the radio in the car, so we just talked,

767
00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:22.199
and mostly we talked about Paul, his wife in Alaska,

768
00:49:22.360 --> 00:49:26.360
his parents, his grandfather. By the time we hit Columbus, Ohio,

769
00:49:26.440 --> 00:49:28.400
there wasn't the thing I didn't know about the guy.

770
00:49:29.079 --> 00:49:31.679
And from what he told me, his grandfather was loaded.

771
00:49:32.519 --> 00:49:35.519
And even more, he was the old man's only relative.

772
00:49:35.760 --> 00:49:39.159
It was obvious the kid was walking into a fortune. Yeah,

773
00:49:39.199 --> 00:49:40.599
some guys had all the luck.

774
00:49:42.559 --> 00:49:44.400
So these are the Alleghanium monks.

775
00:49:44.840 --> 00:49:48.440
Yeah, better take it easy, Paul. The roads a little flippery.

776
00:49:48.639 --> 00:49:51.719
Okay, how much further than New York two one.

777
00:49:51.679 --> 00:49:52.960
Hundred and fifty miles.

778
00:49:53.880 --> 00:49:56.679
It's getting dark. Better stop for the night at the

779
00:49:56.679 --> 00:49:57.480
next tourist court.

780
00:49:57.559 --> 00:50:00.239
All right, Proways should be able to make New York

781
00:50:00.239 --> 00:50:01.159
by tomorrow afternoon.

782
00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:02.320
Yeah, it's easy.

783
00:50:03.280 --> 00:50:04.119
What are you going to do.

784
00:50:04.079 --> 00:50:07.639
When we get there, Steve, start hunting for a job.

785
00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:11.679
Look, Steve, why don't you come to my grandfather's house

786
00:50:11.760 --> 00:50:13.960
with me. I'm sure he won't mind putting up for

787
00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:14.559
a few nights.

788
00:50:14.920 --> 00:50:17.760
Thanks, kid, but don't worry about me. I'll be all right.

789
00:50:18.159 --> 00:50:20.440
Hi, Steve, I don't want to lose track of Yeah,

790
00:50:20.480 --> 00:50:21.559
I thought.

791
00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:22.880
We were friends. Sure we are.

792
00:50:23.599 --> 00:50:25.199
As soon as I get located, I'll let you know

793
00:50:25.239 --> 00:50:29.239
where I am. You know, I thought this, being your

794
00:50:29.280 --> 00:50:32.400
first visit to New York and mine, we might see

795
00:50:32.400 --> 00:50:35.880
the town together. You know the Statue of Liberty that's

796
00:50:35.920 --> 00:50:41.400
your liberty? Yeah, sure, yeah, while we're the same age,

797
00:50:42.159 --> 00:50:43.920
I'm afraid I haven't been around very much.

798
00:50:44.679 --> 00:50:47.880
I guess it's like you said, strictly from the woods.

799
00:50:49.519 --> 00:50:51.079
Just one year in New York and you'll be hip

800
00:50:51.159 --> 00:50:55.920
to everything. Your eyes bothering. Hell, you better let me

801
00:50:55.960 --> 00:50:57.719
take over when you get to the bottom of this mountain.

802
00:50:57.840 --> 00:51:00.320
Okay, you know you want to see an eye doctor.

803
00:51:01.000 --> 00:51:02.920
Her eyes seemed to get tired off a quake.

804
00:51:03.000 --> 00:51:04.400
Well, the truth of the matter out.

805
00:51:04.599 --> 00:51:05.280
We're shutting the shid.

806
00:51:05.760 --> 00:51:07.599
No, don't cam on the brakes, only make it work

807
00:51:07.639 --> 00:51:08.840
the reverse your wheel I.

808
00:51:08.800 --> 00:51:12.159
Have, she was sitting the mountains wheel and do as

809
00:51:12.199 --> 00:51:18.760
I shined out of control was going over.

810
00:51:24.280 --> 00:51:27.280
When I regained consciousness, I was lying a few feet

811
00:51:27.320 --> 00:51:30.559
from the car. We'd rolled three hundred feet down the

812
00:51:30.599 --> 00:51:33.239
side of the mountain, and the car was completely right.

813
00:51:34.639 --> 00:51:37.760
I crawled to my feet and felt for broken bones.

814
00:51:38.800 --> 00:51:40.599
Other than a bad gash on my head and the

815
00:51:40.599 --> 00:51:45.079
massive bruises, I was okay. I limped the few feet

816
00:51:45.159 --> 00:51:49.960
to the overturned car and looked in. Paul was still

817
00:51:50.000 --> 00:51:53.199
behind the wheel. Even before I reached for his pulse,

818
00:51:53.280 --> 00:51:57.119
I had a feeling he was dead. Paul's luck had

819
00:51:57.199 --> 00:52:00.840
run out. He'd never see all that dough that was

820
00:52:00.880 --> 00:52:02.119
waiting for him in New York.

821
00:52:03.880 --> 00:52:04.159
Yeah.

822
00:52:04.199 --> 00:52:05.599
It was then that it came to me.

823
00:52:06.639 --> 00:52:09.840
I hadn't wished the guy did, but now that he was,

824
00:52:10.840 --> 00:52:13.280
and nobody in the state's Newpaul or what he looked like.

825
00:52:14.599 --> 00:52:19.760
And on the other hand, I knew everything about him. Well,

826
00:52:19.760 --> 00:52:22.239
it was a gamble, all right, but there was a

827
00:52:22.280 --> 00:52:25.559
fortune in the kiddy. I went to work switching our

828
00:52:25.599 --> 00:52:28.920
clothes and all identification. Just as I finished, the state

829
00:52:28.960 --> 00:52:31.880
police patrol car came along the mountain road and spotted

830
00:52:31.880 --> 00:52:34.440
the wreck. They took me to headquarters, where I made

831
00:52:34.440 --> 00:52:37.440
a complete statement. A couple of hours later, I grabbed

832
00:52:37.440 --> 00:52:38.320
the train for New York.

833
00:52:46.400 --> 00:52:49.719
Paul, I'm George Marlow, your grandfather's attorney.

834
00:52:49.920 --> 00:52:50.920
How'd you do it? Tomorrow?

835
00:52:51.280 --> 00:52:54.880
A Pennsylvania state police informed me of the dreadful accident

836
00:52:54.960 --> 00:52:57.079
you had. I understand a man who was with you

837
00:52:57.800 --> 00:52:58.320
was killed.

838
00:52:58.679 --> 00:53:01.480
Yes, filled by the name of Farrell. I met him

839
00:53:01.519 --> 00:53:04.440
in Seattle. Hectickted me with the driving too bad, But

840
00:53:05.280 --> 00:53:08.360
thank heavens it wasn't. Julie. Would have been your grandfather's

841
00:53:08.360 --> 00:53:08.960
death floor.

842
00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:14.239
How is he week? Very weak but eagerly waiting to

843
00:53:14.239 --> 00:53:14.599
see you?

844
00:53:15.440 --> 00:53:15.760
All right?

845
00:53:15.840 --> 00:53:20.239
Come along getting how's that cash on your head?

846
00:53:20.400 --> 00:53:20.559
Oh?

847
00:53:20.639 --> 00:53:22.719
Not too bad? It would freezed by a doctor. To

848
00:53:22.719 --> 00:53:24.000
stay police headquarters.

849
00:53:24.639 --> 00:53:26.920
You can only spend a few minutes with your grandfather,

850
00:53:27.119 --> 00:53:30.480
and the excitement must be avoided by all means.

851
00:53:30.760 --> 00:53:34.079
I understand, And here we are.

852
00:53:39.800 --> 00:53:40.239
How is he?

853
00:53:40.360 --> 00:53:40.599
John?

854
00:53:41.079 --> 00:53:42.480
He's much better this afternoon.

855
00:53:42.639 --> 00:53:46.639
Good Joan. Now, this is Paul Harris. Paul Joan Deetrich,

856
00:53:46.719 --> 00:53:47.920
your grandfather's nurse.

857
00:53:48.559 --> 00:53:49.679
How do you do Hello?

858
00:53:50.440 --> 00:53:59.320
Oh is that you Paul guessing? Come over here where

859
00:53:59.360 --> 00:54:00.119
I can see you.

860
00:54:01.440 --> 00:54:06.239
Yes, grandfamny, So you look for.

861
00:54:08.239 --> 00:54:09.079
My grandson.

862
00:54:10.480 --> 00:54:11.000
Hits him.

863
00:54:12.559 --> 00:54:16.199
Sit down by my bed. Let me look at you

864
00:54:17.719 --> 00:54:19.599
all right, grand funny, how.

865
00:54:19.559 --> 00:54:20.039
Are you.

866
00:54:21.440 --> 00:54:21.840
So dog?

867
00:54:21.920 --> 00:54:23.039
Look like your mother.

868
00:54:24.400 --> 00:54:27.360
Must take after your father's side of the family.

869
00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:28.599
Yes, I do.

870
00:54:30.360 --> 00:54:30.400
That.

871
00:54:31.960 --> 00:54:32.880
That bandage.

872
00:54:34.400 --> 00:54:36.239
What what happened?

873
00:54:36.280 --> 00:54:38.639
For why I was in an accident? But it's nothing

874
00:54:38.679 --> 00:54:39.280
to scratch.

875
00:54:39.400 --> 00:54:43.000
Yeah you're sure, yes, yes, of course I suppose you're

876
00:54:43.039 --> 00:54:47.119
wondering why I said for you after after all these

877
00:54:47.199 --> 00:54:51.079
years treutting off your mother father.

878
00:54:51.760 --> 00:54:55.480
As a matter, now, the main thing is I'm here, you.

879
00:54:55.480 --> 00:55:01.199
Know, lying here for months. I've had a great deal

880
00:55:01.239 --> 00:55:05.920
of time to think things over. I was wrong, Paul.

881
00:55:07.280 --> 00:55:10.559
Your mother she had a perfect right to marry any

882
00:55:10.599 --> 00:55:16.159
one she wished. It is only my stubbornness that prevented

883
00:55:16.199 --> 00:55:16.960
the reconcile.

884
00:55:18.199 --> 00:55:19.559
We all make mistakes.

885
00:55:19.840 --> 00:55:25.480
Yes, yes, thirty years I have not seen my own

886
00:55:25.519 --> 00:55:34.519
flesh and blood. It's been lonely, Paul, so lonely. It's

887
00:55:34.599 --> 00:55:35.559
all my fault.

888
00:55:36.480 --> 00:55:42.000
But you're not alone anymore, I mean, yes, yes.

889
00:55:41.920 --> 00:55:46.800
Boy, yeah, what what little time I have left we

890
00:55:46.920 --> 00:55:48.199
must spend together.

891
00:55:48.480 --> 00:55:50.559
I think that's enough. And now mister Marshall Pope can

892
00:55:50.639 --> 00:55:54.400
come and see you later, just a few more minutes,

893
00:55:54.559 --> 00:55:56.320
yea after your nap.

894
00:55:58.360 --> 00:56:04.760
She's a wonderful girl. All but they're tired, and come

895
00:56:04.840 --> 00:56:07.280
see me soon as I have away.

896
00:56:07.880 --> 00:56:09.639
All right, grandfather, let me take you.

897
00:56:12.440 --> 00:56:14.840
Just your being here seems to have helped him pull

898
00:56:18.440 --> 00:56:23.119
What does the doctor see mis tomorrow? Week? Months? Several

899
00:56:23.199 --> 00:56:25.480
months at the outside? That bad?

900
00:56:25.920 --> 00:56:29.239
Yes, well, you must be tired off your trip. I

901
00:56:29.280 --> 00:56:32.079
had your suitcase taken to your room. If you have

902
00:56:32.119 --> 00:56:33.719
any other luggage on the way.

903
00:56:34.119 --> 00:56:36.000
There's a small trunk coming, but he won't be here

904
00:56:36.039 --> 00:56:36.360
for a week.

905
00:56:36.559 --> 00:56:39.199
You need any money, just let me know your grandfather's

906
00:56:39.199 --> 00:56:42.199
place to considerable sum at your disposal.

907
00:56:41.800 --> 00:56:44.320
Says, But I still have two thousand left of the

908
00:56:44.320 --> 00:56:45.320
five thousand he sent me.

909
00:56:46.480 --> 00:56:48.800
Never if there's anything at all you want, just let

910
00:56:48.840 --> 00:56:54.599
me know. Yeah, I was in.

911
00:56:55.280 --> 00:56:57.920
There was no question that I had passed as Paul Harris,

912
00:56:58.519 --> 00:57:01.639
and why not. I had all the answers, and I

913
00:57:01.719 --> 00:57:04.880
was playing a careful I walked through a room after

914
00:57:04.920 --> 00:57:08.000
a room of that Fifth Avenue mansion, knowing that within

915
00:57:08.039 --> 00:57:09.199
a matter of months.

916
00:57:08.920 --> 00:57:09.719
It would be mine.

917
00:57:10.760 --> 00:57:12.679
In the weeks that followed, not a day passed and

918
00:57:12.719 --> 00:57:14.760
I didn't spend a few hours with the old land.

919
00:57:15.599 --> 00:57:18.159
He liked me. I could see that. And the funny

920
00:57:18.199 --> 00:57:20.000
thing is I liked him too.

921
00:57:21.000 --> 00:57:23.480
During our little chats, there were times I felt I

922
00:57:23.679 --> 00:57:27.480
was his grandson, and sitting in at these little sessions,

923
00:57:27.519 --> 00:57:31.199
not saying much, just watching with those gray eyes of hers.

924
00:57:31.280 --> 00:57:36.079
With Joan Dietrich, she was one lovely dish and I

925
00:57:36.079 --> 00:57:39.320
could feel things building between us. Whenever she got an

926
00:57:39.360 --> 00:57:46.199
evening off, we went out together, having a good time.

927
00:57:48.360 --> 00:57:51.880
I love dancing. Well, mister Harris, what are we doing

928
00:57:51.920 --> 00:57:53.519
out here on the Terrence music?

929
00:57:53.639 --> 00:57:53.719
In?

930
00:57:53.800 --> 00:57:54.039
There?

931
00:57:55.440 --> 00:57:58.360
Too many people in there. You know, if you don't

932
00:57:58.360 --> 00:58:00.039
make a pass at me soon, I'm going to get.

933
00:58:00.159 --> 00:58:05.000
Girls of this shoulder quaint three weeks?

934
00:58:06.119 --> 00:58:07.360
What's the time I got to do with it?

935
00:58:08.599 --> 00:58:13.840
The day I walked into my grandfather's room first saw you.

936
00:58:13.840 --> 00:58:15.519
You knew this moment would come.

937
00:58:16.320 --> 00:58:23.079
Mm hmm, oh my gosh, you the same way, baby,

938
00:58:23.960 --> 00:58:27.760
So I was flying love me, you know, I do?

939
00:58:29.199 --> 00:58:33.480
In my the tears, Oh, I do love you, and

940
00:58:33.559 --> 00:58:36.360
I want to believe in I'm so confused, so.

941
00:58:36.559 --> 00:58:41.679
Confused back, Why go on? I want to you?

942
00:58:44.519 --> 00:58:47.000
Are you really poor?

943
00:58:47.079 --> 00:58:49.920
Hair? What makes you ask better?

944
00:58:51.000 --> 00:58:56.599
In your talks with mister Marshall, several things he said

945
00:58:57.280 --> 00:59:02.400
seem strained such a well, your grandfather spoke of a

946
00:59:02.400 --> 00:59:06.360
restaurant in San Francisco, and you said you knew it. Yeah,

947
00:59:06.400 --> 00:59:09.800
if you are Paul Harris, how could you not Paul Harris.

948
00:59:10.840 --> 00:59:12.400
He's never been to San Francisco.

949
00:59:13.119 --> 00:59:14.920
I might have taken in San Francisco on the way

950
00:59:14.960 --> 00:59:15.440
to New York.

951
00:59:15.480 --> 00:59:15.800
You know.

952
00:59:17.559 --> 00:59:18.199
What else about it?

953
00:59:19.800 --> 00:59:23.760
You mentioned that television show you've seen six months ago.

954
00:59:25.440 --> 00:59:29.119
There is no television in Alaska. If you're Paul Harris,

955
00:59:29.119 --> 00:59:30.119
how could you have seen it?

956
00:59:30.800 --> 00:59:34.079
People up in Alaska see chemiscopes of television shows. Baby,

957
00:59:34.800 --> 00:59:35.880
they shown like movies.

958
00:59:38.039 --> 00:59:40.159
Darling, Just tell me I'm wrong, That's all I wanted

959
00:59:40.159 --> 00:59:40.480
to hear.

960
00:59:42.880 --> 00:59:46.400
I wish I could tell you I'm Paul Harris, but

961
00:59:46.519 --> 00:59:46.800
I'm not.

962
00:59:48.519 --> 00:59:49.400
You're no.

963
00:59:49.400 --> 00:59:54.760
No. The name is Farrell, Steve Farrell, Steve har.

964
00:59:56.039 --> 00:59:59.239
Wasn't that the fellow that was chilled him? That it

965
00:59:59.440 --> 01:00:03.760
was Paul Harris who was killed? You changed identity?

966
01:00:04.119 --> 01:00:04.440
Yes?

967
01:00:05.800 --> 01:00:06.480
How could you?

968
01:00:06.960 --> 01:00:07.840
How could you?

969
01:00:08.360 --> 01:00:11.199
I was tired of being broke, of going from one

970
01:00:11.280 --> 01:00:14.760
lousy job to another. I saw a chance to grab

971
01:00:14.800 --> 01:00:16.599
a fortune and took it.

972
01:00:20.039 --> 01:00:20.760
What are you gonna do?

973
01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:28.880
I should go to the police. I can't mister Marshall

974
01:00:28.920 --> 01:00:33.599
thinks you're his grandson. He's extremely fond of you. If

975
01:00:33.639 --> 01:00:38.920
the truth were to come out, kill him.

976
01:00:39.320 --> 01:00:42.039
Is that the only reason you can't go to the police.

977
01:00:42.000 --> 01:00:43.320
Steve, What are we gonna do?

978
01:00:44.000 --> 01:00:44.320
Nothing?

979
01:00:44.679 --> 01:00:45.039
Nothing?

980
01:00:46.079 --> 01:00:46.559
That's right.

981
01:00:47.360 --> 01:00:50.199
I'm going on being Paul Harris until the old man dies.

982
01:00:50.800 --> 01:00:51.880
Then I'm taking the estate.

983
01:00:53.000 --> 01:00:54.079
You can't?

984
01:00:54.400 --> 01:00:54.840
You can?

985
01:00:55.119 --> 01:00:55.480
Why not?

986
01:00:56.280 --> 01:00:59.679
While the old man's alive. I'm making him happy if

987
01:00:59.719 --> 01:01:02.719
I get his estate when he dies? Who loses by it?

988
01:01:02.760 --> 01:01:03.199
Business?

989
01:01:03.280 --> 01:01:05.800
Though he has other relatives, Why shouldn't I get it?

990
01:01:06.119 --> 01:01:07.599
It's wrong, Steve, It's wrong.

991
01:01:08.119 --> 01:01:11.760
It's wrong only if you're a caught baby, Only if

992
01:01:11.800 --> 01:01:12.400
you're caught.

993
01:01:26.880 --> 01:01:30.000
Hello baby, If you don't up here on the room.

994
01:01:30.239 --> 01:01:32.840
It's getting a little fresh air while mister Marshall's state.

995
01:01:33.400 --> 01:01:35.360
How is he?

996
01:01:35.360 --> 01:01:39.800
He can't last more than a few days?

997
01:01:40.440 --> 01:01:48.039
Who you playing for the old man? Oh me, Steve?

998
01:01:48.079 --> 01:01:49.800
Ever since the other night when you told me, I

999
01:01:49.840 --> 01:01:53.400
haven't been able to think of anything else. It's wrong, Steve,

1000
01:01:53.480 --> 01:01:54.400
It's so wrong.

1001
01:01:54.760 --> 01:01:57.440
Who am I hurting? If I get the estate? I

1002
01:01:57.519 --> 01:01:57.960
deserve it.

1003
01:01:58.000 --> 01:02:00.880
If anyone does, at least I'm making the old man

1004
01:02:00.960 --> 01:02:03.000
happy in his life down What is your course.

1005
01:02:03.360 --> 01:02:05.119
Do you realize I'd send you to prison?

1006
01:02:05.199 --> 01:02:07.440
That's the chances you take, baby. Besides, who's going to

1007
01:02:07.480 --> 01:02:08.159
get wise to me?

1008
01:02:08.320 --> 01:02:11.880
There's mister Marlowe and he's nobody's fool. Just one little slip, Steve,

1009
01:02:12.000 --> 01:02:12.880
and he'll be on to you.

1010
01:02:13.039 --> 01:02:15.679
Marlow is a sharp citizen, all right, but I don't

1011
01:02:15.719 --> 01:02:17.480
intend to make that one slips.

1012
01:02:18.519 --> 01:02:19.760
Someone's coming up on the door.

1013
01:02:20.519 --> 01:02:23.559
Hello, you too, thought I find you up here? Hello?

1014
01:02:24.239 --> 01:02:25.400
Oh are you mister Morrow?

1015
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:25.639
Right?

1016
01:02:25.679 --> 01:02:29.199
Well, thank you, I'll stand there. Mister Marshall's asleep.

1017
01:02:29.440 --> 01:02:32.840
Yes, I left missus Walker to look after him. He

1018
01:02:32.880 --> 01:02:33.960
should be waking up soon.

1019
01:02:34.199 --> 01:02:37.760
May we better go down? My grandfather? And oh, what's

1020
01:02:37.800 --> 01:02:39.159
the matter shopping your eye?

1021
01:02:39.159 --> 01:02:39.400
Paul?

1022
01:02:39.519 --> 01:02:41.760
Yes, he's a cinder left eye.

1023
01:02:41.840 --> 01:02:46.000
Huh, yes, stop rubbing it. Put your handkerchief over it.

1024
01:02:46.159 --> 01:02:48.360
Yeah, things like the devil.

1025
01:02:48.719 --> 01:02:52.320
Going over and sit on the chair and I'll try

1026
01:02:52.320 --> 01:02:53.760
to take it out for you.

1027
01:02:53.760 --> 01:02:56.760
Want me to assist you to the chair, No, no,

1028
01:02:56.800 --> 01:02:57.639
I can still walk.

1029
01:03:02.920 --> 01:03:07.039
Let's sit down and tilt your head back. Take the

1030
01:03:07.079 --> 01:03:14.480
handkerchief away, oh, I said, hope still, yeah, I got it,

1031
01:03:15.119 --> 01:03:18.960
Thanks John. I think we better go down. Okay, you

1032
01:03:19.039 --> 01:03:19.920
coming mister Marlow.

1033
01:03:20.639 --> 01:03:24.880
Right, Oh, yes, yes, I'm coming.

1034
01:03:38.920 --> 01:03:41.519
Missus Walker said that mister Marshall was asleep and she

1035
01:03:41.559 --> 01:03:42.920
looked in on him a few minutes.

1036
01:03:42.719 --> 01:03:45.880
Ago, and she's still sleeping. Perhaps we'd better leave him

1037
01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:47.000
wait until he wakens.

1038
01:03:47.079 --> 01:03:49.800
No, no, no, I'm waking. It's time for his medicine,

1039
01:03:51.119 --> 01:03:59.960
mister Marshall. Mister Marshall, time for your medicine. Mister Marshall,

1040
01:04:00.039 --> 01:04:05.920
What is it, John, Yes, no, pump is suet.

1041
01:04:07.519 --> 01:04:09.760
Yes he did.

1042
01:04:11.719 --> 01:04:16.159
At least the end came peacefully. He died in his sleep.

1043
01:04:19.239 --> 01:04:21.360
Joan took the old man's death hard, and I felt

1044
01:04:21.360 --> 01:04:23.000
pretty upset myself.

1045
01:04:23.320 --> 01:04:24.920
Even with all that go awaiting.

1046
01:04:25.800 --> 01:04:29.199
As for Marlow, he was his usual efficient self, looking

1047
01:04:29.239 --> 01:04:32.719
after all the tails of the funeralom Maybe it was

1048
01:04:32.760 --> 01:04:35.480
the tension I was on there, but Marlow seemed changed

1049
01:04:35.519 --> 01:04:35.760
to me.

1050
01:04:36.719 --> 01:04:38.280
He wasn't quite so friendly.

1051
01:04:38.760 --> 01:04:41.800
And sometimes I turned to find him watching me, giving

1052
01:04:41.840 --> 01:04:43.920
me the cold eye.

1053
01:04:44.519 --> 01:04:47.039
I couldn't be sure whether it was my imagination or not.

1054
01:04:48.440 --> 01:04:50.199
After we got back from the funeral, I was in

1055
01:04:50.239 --> 01:04:52.280
my room when there was a knock on the door.

1056
01:04:53.800 --> 01:04:57.199
Come in, Ollo, Johnes, come in.

1057
01:04:57.679 --> 01:04:59.800
Mister Mortows. Downstairs the library.

1058
01:05:00.119 --> 01:05:01.159
To see you close the door.

1059
01:05:01.760 --> 01:05:07.039
Yeah, anything wrong, plenty? Whose trunk is that you're going through?

1060
01:05:07.320 --> 01:05:10.440
Paul had arrived this morning while we were at the

1061
01:05:10.440 --> 01:05:13.960
tune room. I've just been going through some of Paul's

1062
01:05:13.960 --> 01:05:16.840
personal papers. I knew, of course that he was four

1063
01:05:16.960 --> 01:05:17.800
F in the draft, but I.

1064
01:05:17.800 --> 01:05:20.280
Never knew why what are you trying to tell me?

1065
01:05:20.679 --> 01:05:22.920
Paul was for f in the draft because he was

1066
01:05:22.920 --> 01:05:28.719
blind in the right eye wind in the Yes, that's.

1067
01:05:28.599 --> 01:05:30.519
Why I've been getting the cold shoulder from marlow on

1068
01:05:30.519 --> 01:05:32.840
these past three days, ever since the afternoon we were

1069
01:05:32.840 --> 01:05:33.320
on the roof.

1070
01:05:33.880 --> 01:05:34.800
I don't understand.

1071
01:05:35.079 --> 01:05:38.159
Somehow Marlowe knew that Paul was blind in the right eye.

1072
01:05:38.199 --> 01:05:40.239
And when I got that cinder in my left eye

1073
01:05:40.280 --> 01:05:42.559
and I covered it with my handkerchief, you told me

1074
01:05:42.599 --> 01:05:44.719
to walk across the roof of the chair sit down.

1075
01:05:45.800 --> 01:05:48.519
I remember at that point Marlowe offered to lead me

1076
01:05:48.599 --> 01:05:49.440
to the chair.

1077
01:05:49.519 --> 01:05:51.559
Knowing you were blind in the right eye and had

1078
01:05:51.599 --> 01:05:52.920
your left eye covered with the hack.

1079
01:05:53.320 --> 01:05:53.519
Yes.

1080
01:05:54.880 --> 01:05:58.000
When I walked over to the chair without hesitation, that

1081
01:05:58.199 --> 01:06:01.360
must have started him thinking, I don't get panicky, baby,

1082
01:06:01.880 --> 01:06:04.000
marlow can't be sure he's right at the moment, he's

1083
01:06:04.039 --> 01:06:04.599
just suspicious.

1084
01:06:04.639 --> 01:06:06.280
But if he really investigates, you got.

1085
01:06:06.199 --> 01:06:08.519
To kill the suspicion in his mind, stop him from

1086
01:06:08.519 --> 01:06:13.440
doing any check. But I don't know yet. On he's

1087
01:06:13.440 --> 01:06:27.400
waiting for it in the library. Sorry, who kept you waiting?

1088
01:06:27.400 --> 01:06:27.960
Mister Tomorrow?

1089
01:06:28.199 --> 01:06:31.239
Quite all right, if you'll excuse me now, John, don't go.

1090
01:06:32.159 --> 01:06:36.920
No reason why you shouldn't hear what I have to say. Tomorrow,

1091
01:06:37.199 --> 01:06:42.119
Christmas Day, I'll officially read mister Marshall's will. However, I

1092
01:06:42.280 --> 01:06:44.719
don't think I'm violating a trust and telling you the

1093
01:06:44.880 --> 01:06:48.920
contents of the will. Two weeks ago, mister Marshall had

1094
01:06:48.960 --> 01:06:52.119
me draw up a new will, leaving his entire estate

1095
01:06:52.440 --> 01:06:54.000
to you will Paul.

1096
01:06:54.800 --> 01:06:58.000
I see. He was quite taken by you, felt that

1097
01:06:58.079 --> 01:07:02.159
you were a credit to his name. Why are you crying? John?

1098
01:07:03.199 --> 01:07:03.239
Not.

1099
01:07:05.599 --> 01:07:09.039
As administrator mister Marshall's will, it is my duty to

1100
01:07:09.079 --> 01:07:13.039
see to it that the heirs or air receive their

1101
01:07:14.199 --> 01:07:21.000
just inheritances. This duty I shall fulfill. I understand I

1102
01:07:21.000 --> 01:07:23.679
am responsible. I'm the law for the awarding of the

1103
01:07:23.760 --> 01:07:26.880
huge estate left by mister Marshall. I shall have to

1104
01:07:28.400 --> 01:07:30.559
see your eye troubling you. You've been doing nothing but

1105
01:07:30.639 --> 01:07:32.280
rubbing it since you came into this room.

1106
01:07:32.480 --> 01:07:33.320
Sorry tomorrow.

1107
01:07:33.480 --> 01:07:36.119
As you know, I'm blind in my right eye, and

1108
01:07:36.159 --> 01:07:39.119
now and then my left eye feel quite trained, particularly

1109
01:07:39.119 --> 01:07:47.679
a time like this, my grandfather's death funeral. Understand right, yes, yes,

1110
01:07:47.880 --> 01:07:51.039
of course you're saying right.

1111
01:07:51.519 --> 01:07:53.960
Oh, well, it's not important at the moment. I'll be

1112
01:07:54.039 --> 01:07:57.559
here tomorrow at three for the reading of the will.

1113
01:07:57.599 --> 01:07:59.559
See to it that all the servants are here very well.

1114
01:08:00.079 --> 01:08:02.119
That Joan, Paul, good.

1115
01:08:02.039 --> 01:08:12.199
Night tomorrow, good name. See he's confused, that's business to

1116
01:08:12.280 --> 01:08:14.719
the eye. He doesn't know what to think now.

1117
01:08:15.239 --> 01:08:18.279
Yeah, it stopped him for the moment, but only for

1118
01:08:18.319 --> 01:08:20.720
a moment. Hard to tell, but I've got to do

1119
01:08:20.800 --> 01:08:27.479
something once and for all to convince him. I'm Paul Harris.

1120
01:08:28.159 --> 01:08:30.920
I didn't get to sleep that night. I just tossed

1121
01:08:30.960 --> 01:08:33.359
and turned, trying to come up with an angle that

1122
01:08:33.399 --> 01:08:37.079
would kill Marlowe's suspicions. Maybe that business of rubbing my

1123
01:08:37.119 --> 01:08:39.520
eyes it's satisfied in but I had to make sure

1124
01:08:40.520 --> 01:08:43.399
it was a difference between being handed a fortune and

1125
01:08:43.439 --> 01:08:44.279
the prison sentence.

1126
01:08:45.760 --> 01:08:48.239
This afternoon, at three o'clock, the servants.

1127
01:08:47.880 --> 01:08:51.520
Joan, Marlowe, and myself gathered in the library the whole

1128
01:08:51.520 --> 01:08:54.560
thing was over in an hour. The servants all congratulated

1129
01:08:54.600 --> 01:08:57.199
me and left the library, reading only the three of

1130
01:08:57.279 --> 01:08:57.640
us there.

1131
01:09:00.199 --> 01:09:03.319
I should like to offer a toast to mister Marshall's memory,

1132
01:09:03.640 --> 01:09:06.960
if you'll permit me. Of course, Sir was his favorite

1133
01:09:07.079 --> 01:09:15.119
cherry John. Thank you, oh thanks. He is to Peter Marshall,

1134
01:09:15.760 --> 01:09:21.760
man who lived honorably, died honorably. May his air be

1135
01:09:22.600 --> 01:09:27.399
worthy of him. As the three of us raised our

1136
01:09:27.399 --> 01:09:29.960
glasses to our lips and drank, I could see Marlow

1137
01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:32.119
watching me over the brim of his glass, with those

1138
01:09:32.159 --> 01:09:35.600
cold blue eyes of his. We set down our glasses

1139
01:09:35.680 --> 01:09:38.439
and I turned to give Joan a cigarette. Out of

1140
01:09:38.439 --> 01:09:40.600
the corner of my eye, I saw Marlow pick up

1141
01:09:40.640 --> 01:09:44.479
one of the three wine glasses. Suddenly I realized it

1142
01:09:44.520 --> 01:09:49.079
was my glass he picked up. He held it casually,

1143
01:09:49.560 --> 01:09:52.479
almost as if he didn't know he was holding it.

1144
01:09:53.399 --> 01:09:55.359
In that moment, I was going nuts trying to guess

1145
01:09:55.399 --> 01:09:57.880
whether he was satisfied that I was Paul Harris or

1146
01:09:57.920 --> 01:10:01.520
he was still suspicious and going out to me. My

1147
01:10:01.520 --> 01:10:04.479
fingerprints were on that glass, and the army had a

1148
01:10:04.479 --> 01:10:05.920
copy of those prints in Washington.

1149
01:10:07.039 --> 01:10:07.840
This was it.

1150
01:10:08.079 --> 01:10:09.199
Either I play my.

1151
01:10:09.399 --> 01:10:12.279
And go for the fortune or throwing my hand.

1152
01:10:13.000 --> 01:10:16.800
Suddenly I felt Jones hand in mine and say, mister

1153
01:10:16.840 --> 01:10:21.439
marlow yes, you say this will leaving me my grandfather's

1154
01:10:21.560 --> 01:10:22.680
estate is a new one.

1155
01:10:22.960 --> 01:10:26.479
Yes, I drew it up only two weeks ago. What

1156
01:10:26.560 --> 01:10:27.199
was the old will?

1157
01:10:27.319 --> 01:10:27.399
Like?

1158
01:10:28.159 --> 01:10:31.439
Well, under the old will, your grandfather's of state went

1159
01:10:31.479 --> 01:10:36.079
to charity. I thought as much to marlow Joan and

1160
01:10:36.079 --> 01:10:39.520
I have been talking things over. I don't want the estate.

1161
01:10:40.279 --> 01:10:44.159
I wanted all to go to charity as originally intended.

1162
01:10:45.640 --> 01:10:45.680
Me.

1163
01:10:45.840 --> 01:10:49.640
I seem to drop my glass. You realize, of course,

1164
01:10:50.880 --> 01:10:52.039
what you would be giving up.

1165
01:10:52.640 --> 01:10:55.720
I never really had it, mister Marlowe, so I hardly

1166
01:10:55.760 --> 01:10:58.479
think I'll miss it. Joan and I will get along,

1167
01:10:58.520 --> 01:11:04.560
won't We may be, Paul, Is that your considered decision?

1168
01:11:05.039 --> 01:11:05.319
It is?

1169
01:11:06.680 --> 01:11:10.159
It's a gesture worthy of Peter Marshall's grandson.

1170
01:11:13.439 --> 01:11:15.880
Yes, and that little gesture did it.

1171
01:11:16.960 --> 01:11:19.079
Any guy who gives up a two million dollar estate

1172
01:11:19.159 --> 01:11:22.439
can hardly be called an imposter, can he? You know, sir,

1173
01:11:24.640 --> 01:11:27.359
it's Christmas and I've just played Santa Claus to the

1174
01:11:27.399 --> 01:11:31.479
tune of two million bucks. The thing I keep wondering

1175
01:11:31.520 --> 01:11:34.359
about is what would have happened If I hadn't given

1176
01:11:34.439 --> 01:11:37.479
up the estate, would Marlow have gone after me?

1177
01:11:38.439 --> 01:11:38.880
Or was he.

1178
01:11:38.960 --> 01:11:45.119
Satisfied that I was Paul Harris? Yes, sir, that little puzzle.

1179
01:11:44.880 --> 01:11:47.079
Is going to give me plenty of thought for a

1180
01:11:47.279 --> 01:11:48.760
long time to come.

1181
01:12:00.199 --> 01:12:08.039
Yes, this is the mysterious traveler.

1182
01:12:08.119 --> 01:12:08.399
Again.

1183
01:12:09.479 --> 01:12:13.760
Did you enjoy our trip? Or what happened to Pearl Harris?

1184
01:12:13.880 --> 01:12:18.159
Or rather I should say Steve Tavel? He and John

1185
01:12:18.239 --> 01:12:19.199
were married.

1186
01:12:19.159 --> 01:12:23.560
And the poor fellow is now working at an honest living. Yes,

1187
01:12:23.960 --> 01:12:26.520
sometimes he thinks it'd be two million dollars of stead

1188
01:12:26.560 --> 01:12:27.119
he gave up.

1189
01:12:27.640 --> 01:12:30.279
But then, with taxes what they are, what could he

1190
01:12:30.319 --> 01:12:31.479
have kept? In any case?

1191
01:12:32.399 --> 01:12:36.800
Only a fortune, which reminds me of the story in

1192
01:12:36.880 --> 01:12:40.359
which another enterprising young man allowed himself to be killed

1193
01:12:40.399 --> 01:12:42.239
for the sake of acquiring what.

1194
01:12:43.920 --> 01:12:46.079
Oh, you'll have to get off here.

1195
01:12:46.319 --> 01:12:50.399
I'm sorry, but allow me to wish you a merry

1196
01:12:50.479 --> 01:12:54.920
Christmas before you go, And remember I take this same

1197
01:12:55.000 --> 01:12:57.920
train every week at this same time.

1198
01:13:13.039 --> 01:13:20.920
The snow is coming down rather intensely. No worry here,

1199
01:13:22.439 --> 01:13:26.600
the fire is so warm. In fact, I'll put another

1200
01:13:26.720 --> 01:13:31.560
log on just to just to be sure. Oh, what's that?

1201
01:13:33.119 --> 01:13:33.359
Well?

1202
01:13:34.680 --> 01:13:42.119
I suppose I suppose so, I don't know. It's not

1203
01:13:42.239 --> 01:13:46.680
something I like to think about it, but I appreciate

1204
01:13:46.800 --> 01:13:53.800
your concerns. No, no, all will be just fine. In

1205
01:13:53.840 --> 01:14:00.399
a way, my lot in life is kind of like

1206
01:14:01.760 --> 01:14:04.279
a delayed Christmas present.

1207
01:14:06.680 --> 01:14:23.720
The Signal Oil Program. The Whistler. That whistle is your

1208
01:14:23.880 --> 01:14:26.960
signal for the Signal Oil Program.

1209
01:14:27.319 --> 01:14:28.880
The whistler.

1210
01:14:38.680 --> 01:14:49.520
M I am the whistler, and I know many things

1211
01:14:49.560 --> 01:14:53.119
before I walk by night. I know many strange tales

1212
01:14:53.600 --> 01:14:55.560
hidden in the hearts of men and women who have

1213
01:14:55.600 --> 01:15:00.439
stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless errors

1214
01:15:00.439 --> 01:15:02.079
of which they dare not speak.

1215
01:15:07.399 --> 01:15:10.479
Yes, friends, it's now time for the Signal Oil Program.

1216
01:15:10.600 --> 01:15:14.239
The Whistler rated tops in popularity for a longer period

1217
01:15:14.319 --> 01:15:17.920
of time than any other West Coast program in radio history.

1218
01:15:18.720 --> 01:15:22.960
And here's an important announcement for whistler fans in California. Only,

1219
01:15:23.840 --> 01:15:28.279
Beginning next Sunday, January twod you to California's going off

1220
01:15:28.399 --> 01:15:32.359
daylight saving time. The Whistler will be heard in California

1221
01:15:32.439 --> 01:15:37.640
only one hour earlier, from eight thirty until nine. Remember

1222
01:15:37.680 --> 01:15:41.079
the change in time in California, only, the Whistler will

1223
01:15:41.079 --> 01:15:44.600
be heard at a new time from eight thirty till nine.

1224
01:15:45.319 --> 01:15:47.279
In other states, the whistler will be heard at the

1225
01:15:47.319 --> 01:15:52.600
same time as always, And now the whistler's strange story

1226
01:15:53.880 --> 01:15:55.600
delayed Christmas present.

1227
01:15:58.880 --> 01:16:01.960
Christmas was really for it was one o'clock in the

1228
01:16:01.960 --> 01:16:05.239
morning at Pete's canteena a tough little night spot on

1229
01:16:05.279 --> 01:16:07.159
the outskirts of Panama City.

1230
01:16:07.399 --> 01:16:08.560
But the melody lingered on.

1231
01:16:09.399 --> 01:16:11.319
You could hear the chimes of the Big Church a

1232
01:16:11.359 --> 01:16:17.039
block away playing a death stay for daylis there was

1233
01:16:17.079 --> 01:16:21.600
practically no business. Four hostesses, all Americans, were sitting drearily

1234
01:16:21.720 --> 01:16:22.640
at the far end.

1235
01:16:22.479 --> 01:16:23.760
Of the ballroom, near the bar.

1236
01:16:24.600 --> 01:16:28.680
One of them, Merry Winslow, billed as Candy Porter, just

1237
01:16:28.880 --> 01:16:33.159
sat gazing drearily into space, thinking bitterly of a past

1238
01:16:33.239 --> 01:16:35.479
from which for a while he had seen no escape.

1239
01:16:36.159 --> 01:16:39.640
But for five months now she'd been relatively safe. No

1240
01:16:39.720 --> 01:16:43.720
one had been around asking any questions. As Candy Porter,

1241
01:16:43.840 --> 01:16:47.399
Blue Singer, Mary Winslow had found a kind of security,

1242
01:16:47.640 --> 01:16:51.159
not a happy security, for she was far away from home,

1243
01:16:52.039 --> 01:16:55.399
and as the chimes became silent, Mary wondered if it

1244
01:16:55.479 --> 01:16:59.119
was worthwhile her reverie was broken up. As she looked

1245
01:16:59.159 --> 01:17:02.439
up and saw Miss Pete, a fat, greedy owner of

1246
01:17:02.479 --> 01:17:06.079
the cantina approaching her table, Gondy candy.

1247
01:17:06.279 --> 01:17:08.520
Look, this American general just came in.

1248
01:17:08.920 --> 01:17:11.479
He wants to buy you some Champagne's champagne.

1249
01:17:11.479 --> 01:17:14.439
You here, Pete, Not tonight, it's Christmas. I'd rather be alone,

1250
01:17:14.479 --> 01:17:15.359
if you don't mind.

1251
01:17:15.239 --> 01:17:16.000
I don't mind.

1252
01:17:16.319 --> 01:17:18.680
Look all right, all right, let.

1253
01:17:18.680 --> 01:17:20.319
Him spend his money on champagne.

1254
01:17:20.960 --> 01:17:22.800
Now, you smart baby?

1255
01:17:22.960 --> 01:17:24.960
Here he goes.

1256
01:17:27.199 --> 01:17:27.680
You turn.

1257
01:17:27.920 --> 01:17:32.079
See the tall, heavy set American approach suddenly become tense.

1258
01:17:32.920 --> 01:17:36.439
You recognize the type, don't you. After a year of

1259
01:17:36.520 --> 01:17:39.319
running away, you've learned to spot his kind. In a moment,

1260
01:17:39.840 --> 01:17:41.439
you'll fight to remain calm as.

1261
01:17:41.279 --> 01:17:42.319
He reaches your table.

1262
01:17:43.399 --> 01:17:45.600
Sit down, sit down?

1263
01:17:45.920 --> 01:17:46.800
Sure you don't mind?

1264
01:17:48.880 --> 01:17:49.199
Nice?

1265
01:17:49.399 --> 01:17:50.840
In that case, I guess it will.

1266
01:17:50.880 --> 01:17:53.600
I'll go get this champagne. I keep him all nice.

1267
01:17:53.840 --> 01:17:55.520
Eleven years old, cool.

1268
01:17:56.920 --> 01:18:01.399
Sire at mister Fontaine. In mind of Christmas?

1269
01:18:03.439 --> 01:18:03.560
Right?

1270
01:18:05.000 --> 01:18:12.880
Thanks strange spending Christmas are far away from home? How

1271
01:18:12.960 --> 01:18:14.199
come business?

1272
01:18:15.479 --> 01:18:17.720
Important business, couldn't it?

1273
01:18:17.760 --> 01:18:18.000
Wait?

1274
01:18:18.239 --> 01:18:21.960
No, this business means a lot.

1275
01:18:21.880 --> 01:18:22.079
To the.

1276
01:18:24.439 --> 01:18:25.319
People I work for.

1277
01:18:27.079 --> 01:18:31.760
Well, here's what you say for the water for Marseille.

1278
01:18:31.920 --> 01:18:33.039
Thirteen years old?

1279
01:18:33.159 --> 01:18:35.560
You said eleven that was from the harbor.

1280
01:18:36.279 --> 01:18:38.720
This is even better now I put him back in

1281
01:18:38.760 --> 01:18:39.119
the ice.

1282
01:18:39.439 --> 01:18:42.199
You had some more. You just called Peeve. I got

1283
01:18:42.199 --> 01:18:43.239
another one on ice.

1284
01:18:43.159 --> 01:18:43.560
Just like you.

1285
01:18:45.520 --> 01:18:47.399
Well, I guess it's kind of late to wish you

1286
01:18:47.479 --> 01:18:51.479
a merry Christmas, MIAs Porter, so I guess i'd better

1287
01:18:51.640 --> 01:18:55.640
just say season's greeting. Anyway.

1288
01:18:56.640 --> 01:19:00.479
There's luck, here's helping you find whatever you can A year.

1289
01:19:00.439 --> 01:19:05.479
After I've already found what I came after.

1290
01:19:06.000 --> 01:19:06.560
I'm glad.

1291
01:19:06.960 --> 01:19:08.239
I hope you will be.

1292
01:19:09.119 --> 01:19:12.359
Why shouldn't I bee because I came after you.

1293
01:19:13.079 --> 01:19:14.000
Mary Winslow.

1294
01:19:24.079 --> 01:19:27.760
With the prologue of Delayed Christmas Present, the Signal Oil

1295
01:19:27.840 --> 01:19:34.439
Company brings you another strange story by the Whistler. But now,

1296
01:19:34.560 --> 01:19:37.079
since this is Christmas weekend, I want to thank you

1297
01:19:37.239 --> 01:19:39.920
for inviting us of the Whistler cast into your home

1298
01:19:40.039 --> 01:19:44.199
on this special occasion. During the six consecutive years that

1299
01:19:44.279 --> 01:19:47.960
The Whistler has been broadcast by Signal Oil Company, many

1300
01:19:48.039 --> 01:19:50.439
of us have had the pleasure of celebrating Christmas with

1301
01:19:50.600 --> 01:19:53.560
many of you a number of times, and believe me,

1302
01:19:53.680 --> 01:19:55.840
we feel it a real honor that you consider us

1303
01:19:55.880 --> 01:20:00.119
a part of your entertainment family. Tonight on behalf a

1304
01:20:00.199 --> 01:20:03.560
signal oil company and the independent signal dealers who serve

1305
01:20:03.680 --> 01:20:08.520
the states of California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, and Arizona.

1306
01:20:09.399 --> 01:20:12.800
I want to say we hope that your Christmas has

1307
01:20:12.880 --> 01:20:16.359
been a merry one. May your new year be filled

1308
01:20:16.399 --> 01:20:20.399
with peace, prosperity, and the good health with which to

1309
01:20:20.600 --> 01:20:21.960
enjoy these blessings.

1310
01:20:23.319 --> 01:20:24.680
And now back to the whistler.

1311
01:20:42.319 --> 01:20:45.520
After a year, it doesn't seem fair, does it, Mary Winslow,

1312
01:20:46.079 --> 01:20:48.760
After a year of hiding using one name and then another,

1313
01:20:49.439 --> 01:20:53.000
After five bitter months of singing at peace Canteena's candy

1314
01:20:53.119 --> 01:20:57.000
Porter blues singer, this man Fontaine has come to take

1315
01:20:57.079 --> 01:21:00.159
you back to the States to face the consequences of

1316
01:21:00.279 --> 01:21:01.359
one horrible night.

1317
01:21:02.159 --> 01:21:04.760
You're sure he's the detective. It couldn't be anything else.

1318
01:21:05.520 --> 01:21:07.600
You can't run again. There's no place you could go.

1319
01:21:08.720 --> 01:21:11.479
You've only one card left, and as you faced the

1320
01:21:11.560 --> 01:21:14.800
man across the table and listen to his even level voice,

1321
01:21:15.199 --> 01:21:16.159
you decide to play it.

1322
01:21:16.720 --> 01:21:18.960
If you play it carefully, it might be an ace.

1323
01:21:22.279 --> 01:21:24.800
I don't think you know why I'm here, and we're

1324
01:21:24.840 --> 01:21:26.039
leaving in the morning for Los Anglis.

1325
01:21:26.079 --> 01:21:29.920
Miss Winslow, like the billing says, my name is Candy Porter.

1326
01:21:30.119 --> 01:21:32.840
I know what the building says. I know what it

1327
01:21:32.920 --> 01:21:34.800
said in Brooklyn when you would build His Daughters Trent

1328
01:21:35.039 --> 01:21:38.359
in Denver, when you were building Gladys James. But when

1329
01:21:38.399 --> 01:21:40.279
you first took a potter out of los Anglish, who

1330
01:21:40.319 --> 01:21:41.319
were Mary Winslow.

1331
01:21:43.000 --> 01:21:47.680
You know, it's almost funny you should call me Mary Windsor.

1332
01:21:48.000 --> 01:21:49.319
We used to work together, her.

1333
01:21:49.239 --> 01:21:50.960
And me in the same floor share. We could have

1334
01:21:51.000 --> 01:21:53.960
been built as twin sisters. But the curitoments used to

1335
01:21:54.079 --> 01:21:55.319
mistake us for each other too.

1336
01:21:55.479 --> 01:21:57.640
Look, miss Winslow, that's quit kidding, kidding.

1337
01:21:59.439 --> 01:22:01.479
A lot of the people have made the same mistake

1338
01:22:01.600 --> 01:22:07.199
you had. And like I said, I knew Mary Winsol intimately.

1339
01:22:08.880 --> 01:22:12.319
I think I could help you solve your case if

1340
01:22:12.359 --> 01:22:13.680
you let me tell you about her.

1341
01:22:13.840 --> 01:22:17.159
Sure, sure, go ahead to make your feel any better.

1342
01:22:17.960 --> 01:22:24.560
Thanks you See, Mary Winslow is really just a good

1343
01:22:24.640 --> 01:22:28.079
kid that got a bad break in love with a.

1344
01:22:28.199 --> 01:22:32.880
Swell guy and scared the death of a hoodlum. She

1345
01:22:33.119 --> 01:22:36.479
told me all about it. It's quite a story.

1346
01:22:45.800 --> 01:22:48.119
Yes, this was quite a story, wasn't it, Mary?

1347
01:22:48.800 --> 01:22:51.359
And it all began a year ago Christmas Eve, at

1348
01:22:51.399 --> 01:22:54.479
the Christmas party given by your employers in the pink

1349
01:22:54.600 --> 01:22:58.880
room of the slank Welchister Hotel. You really enjoyed yourself

1350
01:22:58.960 --> 01:23:01.439
that night, didn't you? And you were quite the hit

1351
01:23:01.520 --> 01:23:04.800
of the evening. You sang three numbers and went over bag.

1352
01:23:05.279 --> 01:23:09.159
Your fellow workers didn't know your many talents. Everyone told

1353
01:23:09.239 --> 01:23:12.319
you what a fine singer you were, and when you left,

1354
01:23:12.359 --> 01:23:15.039
you were feeling good, so good you decided to drop

1355
01:23:15.119 --> 01:23:17.920
into the cocktail lounge, make a phone call and have

1356
01:23:18.000 --> 01:23:19.920
a nightcap before going home.

1357
01:23:21.319 --> 01:23:22.600
Scotch and said, Mike.

1358
01:23:22.600 --> 01:23:24.199
It make mine the same girl.

1359
01:23:24.279 --> 01:23:24.560
Gotcha?

1360
01:23:26.079 --> 01:23:28.479
I heard you sing tonight.

1361
01:23:29.239 --> 01:23:31.279
You were terrific. Thanks.

1362
01:23:33.119 --> 01:23:37.439
What's the matter? Did he stand here? Who the guy

1363
01:23:37.439 --> 01:23:41.399
you were just talking to on the phone. No, I

1364
01:23:41.600 --> 01:23:44.279
guess he didn't stand here, didn't he? And he's on

1365
01:23:44.359 --> 01:23:49.000
his way here right now. Yep, that's the answer, lucky gay.

1366
01:23:49.960 --> 01:23:51.520
I want to take it out of here. Bill. Now

1367
01:23:51.680 --> 01:23:55.000
look here, let's make it easy. It's practically Christmas. At

1368
01:23:55.039 --> 01:23:58.319
the harm of my buying you one drink. Like I said,

1369
01:23:58.359 --> 01:23:59.920
I write your voices.

1370
01:24:00.640 --> 01:24:01.199
It's a change.

1371
01:24:01.279 --> 01:24:03.920
Oh thanks, boy, you must be a detective.

1372
01:24:04.000 --> 01:24:05.359
You know my name and everything?

1373
01:24:06.319 --> 01:24:09.800
No, no, not everything, but if it wasn't any picked

1374
01:24:09.840 --> 01:24:11.399
to find out your name. I just asked one of

1375
01:24:11.439 --> 01:24:14.600
the boys I you're dancing with. My name is Joe Clark.

1376
01:24:16.920 --> 01:24:18.720
I see you've never heard of me. Should I have

1377
01:24:19.279 --> 01:24:21.680
a lot of people? Have most of the boys and

1378
01:24:21.760 --> 01:24:22.840
girls around on nights plots?

1379
01:24:22.920 --> 01:24:22.960
No?

1380
01:24:23.359 --> 01:24:25.399
Well, and that accounts for my ignorance. You see I

1381
01:24:25.560 --> 01:24:27.479
seldom haunt a night spot.

1382
01:24:27.600 --> 01:24:29.560
Well you should. With a voice like yours, you could

1383
01:24:29.560 --> 01:24:31.079
be packing them in in a good night club.

1384
01:24:31.359 --> 01:24:32.840
Oh no, I get it.

1385
01:24:32.920 --> 01:24:35.159
You're a professional talent scout and you want to get

1386
01:24:35.239 --> 01:24:36.119
me into the movies.

1387
01:24:36.640 --> 01:24:40.000
No, no, I'm a gambler. Shocking.

1388
01:24:40.520 --> 01:24:42.640
Well, I should have lived and let live is my mother,

1389
01:24:44.199 --> 01:24:47.079
and that's exactly what I'm gonna do right now, live

1390
01:24:47.159 --> 01:24:48.840
my life and let you live here as good night,

1391
01:24:48.920 --> 01:24:52.039
mister Clark, my mim. I just think tomorrow I can

1392
01:24:52.079 --> 01:24:53.600
tell all the girls at the office I met a

1393
01:24:53.720 --> 01:24:55.239
real live gambler.

1394
01:24:55.760 --> 01:24:57.239
You could tell them all a lot more than that,

1395
01:24:57.520 --> 01:25:02.840
if you believed in your voice as much as I do. Huh, Really,

1396
01:25:05.039 --> 01:25:07.560
you've heard of Domingo's on Sunset out near the ocean.

1397
01:25:07.920 --> 01:25:09.520
It's an undercovered gambling club.

1398
01:25:09.600 --> 01:25:12.399
It's more than a gambling club. There swall floor show.

1399
01:25:12.640 --> 01:25:14.439
A lot of big people are out there, people.

1400
01:25:14.239 --> 01:25:17.039
That count, and they're all intimate friends of yours.

1401
01:25:17.119 --> 01:25:19.159
I'm sure not all, but I know quite a few

1402
01:25:20.039 --> 01:25:21.920
to push. You're right to the top with that voice.

1403
01:25:22.119 --> 01:25:23.960
Oh that's the oldest line I've ever heard.

1404
01:25:24.159 --> 01:25:27.159
Not a line, but skip it.

1405
01:25:28.079 --> 01:25:31.039
Go on home, listen to the radio, eat candy. You're

1406
01:25:31.039 --> 01:25:34.560
gonna have a terrific time. Got a Domingos with me.

1407
01:25:34.680 --> 01:25:37.279
You can't tell what might happen. They might have to

1408
01:25:37.359 --> 01:25:40.600
meet a couple of show producers. So play it safe

1409
01:25:40.640 --> 01:25:43.439
and go home. It's maybe dull, but you'll always get

1410
01:25:43.560 --> 01:25:44.199
to work on that.

1411
01:25:45.239 --> 01:25:46.359
That's all you have to say.

1412
01:25:46.960 --> 01:25:49.720
That's home. Ninety ninety Quit.

1413
01:25:49.600 --> 01:25:56.359
A minute, Yeah, could we here? Could we be back

1414
01:25:56.439 --> 01:25:57.000
fairly early?

1415
01:25:57.439 --> 01:25:57.720
Believe?

1416
01:25:57.960 --> 01:26:01.079
Then you say, well, what are we waiting for?

1417
01:26:01.199 --> 01:26:01.239
It?

1418
01:26:01.560 --> 01:26:02.960
Now you're making sense off all.

1419
01:26:02.880 --> 01:26:04.920
The care never mind, I have a car. It's pract

1420
01:26:05.000 --> 01:26:05.760
that on the corner.

1421
01:26:10.359 --> 01:26:13.640
Clark Us, just the right approach. Didn't be married. You

1422
01:26:13.800 --> 01:26:15.960
realize you're being a fool, But.

1423
01:26:16.039 --> 01:26:19.520
As the hours pass, you tell yourself your fears are groundless.

1424
01:26:19.960 --> 01:26:21.720
Joe treats you with perfect courtesy.

1425
01:26:22.199 --> 01:26:24.800
You watch the gambling for a while, then proceed to

1426
01:26:24.880 --> 01:26:26.760
the Silver Room and enjoy the floor show.

1427
01:26:27.279 --> 01:26:30.239
Afterwards, you have a little food and watch the dancer.

1428
01:26:49.319 --> 01:26:50.600
Suddenly you've had.

1429
01:26:50.600 --> 01:26:55.039
Enough, Joe, do you mind if we leave now?

1430
01:26:55.800 --> 01:26:59.479
I said we'd leave anytime. You said, but it's is amusing.

1431
01:27:00.279 --> 01:27:06.119
Yeah, I guess that's it. Another guy, Another guy, my

1432
01:27:07.560 --> 01:27:13.840
fancy what happened to him? The Philippines research Dennis doctor

1433
01:27:14.840 --> 01:27:18.800
doctor Frank was an. That was his car we drove

1434
01:27:18.880 --> 01:27:19.199
out here.

1435
01:27:21.079 --> 01:27:23.760
He told me to keep it warm for him.

1436
01:27:24.920 --> 01:27:25.680
Well't too bad.

1437
01:27:25.760 --> 01:27:28.840
We could have had a lot of fun right now

1438
01:27:28.920 --> 01:27:29.079
we go?

1439
01:27:36.359 --> 01:27:37.319
Was it just a song?

1440
01:27:37.479 --> 01:27:37.760
Mary?

1441
01:27:38.319 --> 01:27:41.159
Well, wasn't that uneasy feeling you have about Joe that

1442
01:27:41.279 --> 01:27:44.279
made you want to leave? So suddenly it must.

1443
01:27:44.159 --> 01:27:44.880
Have been the song.

1444
01:27:45.520 --> 01:27:47.680
Well, as you're ready to leave the club grounds, Joe

1445
01:27:47.880 --> 01:27:56.520
is still a considerate escort hopping Oh, unless you want

1446
01:27:56.640 --> 01:27:57.199
me to drive?

1447
01:27:57.840 --> 01:27:59.439
Drive, unless your mind too much?

1448
01:28:00.039 --> 01:28:12.279
I don't mind. Probably can be safer too. For several miles,

1449
01:28:12.399 --> 01:28:16.399
Joe says, little seems preoccupied, and you feel relieved when

1450
01:28:16.439 --> 01:28:19.960
he breaks it rather strange silence. Oh, say, Mary, would

1451
01:28:19.960 --> 01:28:22.640
you mind stopping from? And I said, drive in. Out

1452
01:28:22.680 --> 01:28:24.840
of a sudden, I have an awful, heady. Maybe I

1453
01:28:24.880 --> 01:28:27.159
can get some ask for my daughter, but we'll give

1454
01:28:27.159 --> 01:28:33.640
it a try. You can keep the model running while

1455
01:28:33.680 --> 01:28:35.000
I'm gone. I've already gone a few.

1456
01:28:34.920 --> 01:28:42.560
Seconds, okay, dreaming of a way Christmas?

1457
01:28:49.199 --> 01:28:53.399
Get gone? You shot him, it's get gone. Pass there's

1458
01:28:53.439 --> 01:28:55.399
a gun any roots. Baby, you just saw what happened

1459
01:28:55.399 --> 01:28:56.279
to one guy that crossed me.

1460
01:29:05.319 --> 01:29:07.680
It is it?

1461
01:29:08.319 --> 01:29:10.800
I don't know you you?

1462
01:29:11.600 --> 01:29:11.760
Oh?

1463
01:29:11.840 --> 01:29:13.000
Why was I such a fool?

1464
01:29:13.239 --> 01:29:15.039
At the next corner, car's been tail.

1465
01:29:14.880 --> 01:29:17.479
And God, I hope it's a pro card to take me.

1466
01:29:17.560 --> 01:29:18.720
The trouble a phone and the police.

1467
01:29:23.800 --> 01:29:27.399
He didn't turn Baby, You shouldn't have said what you

1468
01:29:27.520 --> 01:29:30.399
did about phone and the cops. You had better pull

1469
01:29:30.439 --> 01:29:33.279
over and Clark. We got a couple of things to

1470
01:29:33.399 --> 01:29:33.960
talk over.

1471
01:29:35.079 --> 01:29:35.960
I pull over.

1472
01:29:42.239 --> 01:29:42.760
That's better.

1473
01:29:44.880 --> 01:29:48.119
Please, please, Joe, don't kill me. I know you can

1474
01:29:48.199 --> 01:29:50.279
do it easy. But I'll never talk about tonight.

1475
01:29:50.520 --> 01:29:52.760
That's the way you feel now. An hour from now,

1476
01:29:52.800 --> 01:29:54.520
you'll know I won't have a word about.

1477
01:29:54.760 --> 01:29:56.560
I'm making a deal with you, Joe. I'm taking in

1478
01:29:56.640 --> 01:29:57.600
my silence for my life.

1479
01:29:57.600 --> 01:29:57.960
I smell.

1480
01:29:57.960 --> 01:29:58.960
I won't talk about it ever.

1481
01:30:00.119 --> 01:30:04.199
Okay, I'll take a chance. You drove the getaway console.

1482
01:30:04.319 --> 01:30:08.079
We're partners now. Anyway, we're gonna have a lot of

1483
01:30:08.159 --> 01:30:12.199
fun together, you and me. Now, I'll about dropping me

1484
01:30:12.239 --> 01:30:13.399
off in my own place.

1485
01:30:17.199 --> 01:30:18.000
Any way to come.

1486
01:30:18.439 --> 01:30:27.560
I love about. After you drop Joe and you reach

1487
01:30:27.640 --> 01:30:31.399
your apartment, you're so weak you can hardly stand. Your

1488
01:30:31.479 --> 01:30:34.720
senses are real and your brain is spinning. You practically

1489
01:30:34.840 --> 01:30:37.760
fall into bed. You try to snatch a little sleep,

1490
01:30:37.840 --> 01:30:41.840
but sleep is impossible. Finally, at six o'clock in the morning,

1491
01:30:41.920 --> 01:30:48.399
the newspaper is shoved under your apartment door. The headline

1492
01:30:48.600 --> 01:30:49.039
sicken you.

1493
01:30:50.600 --> 01:30:53.960
Driving operators shot and pulled up dies.

1494
01:30:55.680 --> 01:30:57.319
The subheadings are even worse.

1495
01:30:58.159 --> 01:31:02.079
I'm identified man and I've seen saying from Santa Krant

1496
01:31:02.680 --> 01:31:07.399
in dark green forty seven model Chevrolet pedestrian believes you

1497
01:31:07.439 --> 01:31:08.720
can identify.

1498
01:31:08.199 --> 01:31:10.399
It both car and woman.

1499
01:31:11.960 --> 01:31:14.399
There it is Mary, hopeless, isn't it?

1500
01:31:15.079 --> 01:31:17.920
Even if you call the police your story what sounds phony?

1501
01:31:18.000 --> 01:31:21.159
Now it's closing in on you, isn't it, Mary?

1502
01:31:21.720 --> 01:31:21.920
Yet?

1503
01:31:21.960 --> 01:31:25.199
Frightened as you are, you're certain of two things that

1504
01:31:25.319 --> 01:31:28.159
you're not going to become further involved with Joe Clark,

1505
01:31:28.800 --> 01:31:31.640
and you won't allow any unfavorable publicity to fall on

1506
01:31:31.720 --> 01:31:34.439
your absent feance doctor Frank Wilson.

1507
01:31:35.520 --> 01:31:37.359
You are foolish to risk a life.

1508
01:31:37.159 --> 01:31:40.119
Of happiness with him, weren't you for a few moments

1509
01:31:40.159 --> 01:31:42.199
of excitement with a gambler.

1510
01:31:41.760 --> 01:31:43.359
A murderer like Joe Clark.

1511
01:31:44.720 --> 01:31:47.079
But you decide there's only one thing you can do. Mary,

1512
01:31:47.199 --> 01:31:51.760
leave town, disappear and never see Clark again. You address hurriedly,

1513
01:31:52.119 --> 01:31:54.960
packing only a few belongings, and then spend Christmas day

1514
01:31:55.000 --> 01:31:58.720
and night at the home of a girlfriend. The next morning,

1515
01:31:58.800 --> 01:32:03.279
you're on an eastbound Three months later, you're singing in

1516
01:32:03.359 --> 01:32:07.319
the Golden Lion, a prosperous little nightclub in Brooklyn, New York,

1517
01:32:08.079 --> 01:32:10.680
where you become a featured performer under the name.

1518
01:32:10.640 --> 01:32:12.159
Of Doris Trent.

1519
01:32:13.359 --> 01:32:16.760
You're a great success under your new name, and then

1520
01:32:16.840 --> 01:32:19.439
one night you have a visitor. You're sure it's mister

1521
01:32:19.640 --> 01:32:22.640
Vern Shield's London musical comedy producer.

1522
01:32:24.319 --> 01:32:26.680
Comn I'm.

1523
01:32:28.720 --> 01:32:30.560
Whoa what do you know?

1524
01:32:31.359 --> 01:32:35.800
Long time no see Miss Trent doors Trant, It says

1525
01:32:35.880 --> 01:32:36.600
on the program.

1526
01:32:39.119 --> 01:32:41.239
All right, Joe, now that you've prom me what's.

1527
01:32:41.119 --> 01:32:42.520
On your mind, you double cross me.

1528
01:32:42.600 --> 01:32:44.399
Baby, You're crazy. That's why I left town so I

1529
01:32:44.439 --> 01:32:45.720
wouldn't have to talk to anybody.

1530
01:32:45.840 --> 01:32:48.479
But you could still, right, couldn't you. I don't get

1531
01:32:48.560 --> 01:32:51.720
you that anonymous note to the police written just after

1532
01:32:51.760 --> 01:32:55.119
you left, telling all about that driving job. Give the

1533
01:32:55.199 --> 01:32:58.279
exact time, my name, where I live, what I head on, everything,

1534
01:32:59.520 --> 01:33:03.800
but not a word about the girl with me. Funny Huh,

1535
01:33:04.600 --> 01:33:04.920
you're the.

1536
01:33:04.960 --> 01:33:05.920
Only one that know all of that.

1537
01:33:06.000 --> 01:33:06.279
Baby.

1538
01:33:06.359 --> 01:33:07.239
Oh no, Joel, you're wrong.

1539
01:33:07.319 --> 01:33:07.680
Believe me.

1540
01:33:07.720 --> 01:33:08.640
I didn't write me note.

1541
01:33:08.720 --> 01:33:12.399
Couldn't have been anyone else. Two days after you left,

1542
01:33:12.439 --> 01:33:13.439
they picked me up for question.

1543
01:33:13.560 --> 01:33:15.359
Anybody could have written a note like that, But one

1544
01:33:15.399 --> 01:33:17.359
of your enemies might have wanted you out of speculation

1545
01:33:17.479 --> 01:33:18.279
and tried to frame you.

1546
01:33:18.720 --> 01:33:20.439
Maybe, but I dined sure, I didn't write it.

1547
01:33:21.000 --> 01:33:22.840
I've kept my bargain with you one hundred percent.

1548
01:33:23.760 --> 01:33:27.920
There is one way you can convince how marry me tonight?

1549
01:33:30.640 --> 01:33:30.920
Chase.

1550
01:33:31.319 --> 01:33:34.800
Yeah, that way I'll be sure of you. Wives don't

1551
01:33:34.840 --> 01:33:38.319
testify against their husbands. Besides, I don't know what you're

1552
01:33:38.359 --> 01:33:39.119
doing all the time.

1553
01:33:41.840 --> 01:33:43.600
So I gotta go through my show.

1554
01:33:43.640 --> 01:33:47.439
Let's talk this an else from hunt up to Connecticut.

1555
01:33:47.920 --> 01:33:51.039
But go ahead, do your show. If you've got any

1556
01:33:51.079 --> 01:33:54.880
ideas about calling in the cops, don't forget you drove

1557
01:33:55.000 --> 01:33:58.279
the getaway car. And in case anything's serious should happened

1558
01:33:58.279 --> 01:34:01.520
to me, is a written confession my pocket, telling exactly

1559
01:34:01.640 --> 01:34:04.439
how you help me pull the job. I will use

1560
01:34:04.479 --> 01:34:07.720
your boyfriend's car. I kept the motor around waiting for me.

1561
01:34:09.600 --> 01:34:14.840
Your doctor would love reading about that, wouldn't he. Well,

1562
01:34:16.800 --> 01:34:19.479
and don't get funny b heading on to your show.

1563
01:34:19.520 --> 01:34:20.239
I'll wait for you here.

1564
01:34:26.119 --> 01:34:29.399
Do you start down the hallway toward the powder of offstage.

1565
01:34:30.279 --> 01:34:33.720
Suddenly you realize what a fool you've been, But you're

1566
01:34:33.760 --> 01:34:35.520
not going to keep on being a fool.

1567
01:34:35.600 --> 01:34:36.199
Are you married?

1568
01:34:36.840 --> 01:34:36.880
Not?

1569
01:34:37.039 --> 01:34:40.319
With that wall telephone just five steps ahead.

1570
01:34:40.000 --> 01:34:47.720
Of it, get me police headquarters.

1571
01:34:49.159 --> 01:34:53.479
I mean quick. I mean you should have looked around

1572
01:34:53.560 --> 01:34:56.520
before you're called. They don't want you to try to

1573
01:34:56.600 --> 01:35:00.560
doublecross me. Now I know for sure said no to

1574
01:35:00.680 --> 01:35:05.920
that car. I didn't call him, didn't you All of

1575
01:35:06.039 --> 01:35:10.680
a sudden, I've lost interest in getting married. We're just

1576
01:35:10.800 --> 01:35:15.279
going for a little ride. Come on, babe, start, won't Joe.

1577
01:35:16.000 --> 01:35:18.039
I'm not moving a foot up and inch. If I

1578
01:35:18.079 --> 01:35:19.239
have to be shot, I'll take it right here.

1579
01:35:19.319 --> 01:35:20.119
Let's go on my arm.

1580
01:35:20.279 --> 01:35:21.199
What's going on here?

1581
01:35:22.039 --> 01:35:24.680
Something wrong? Dars? This guy bothering you.

1582
01:35:24.840 --> 01:35:27.720
Yes, he wants to date me. Tell him to leave.

1583
01:35:27.720 --> 01:35:28.159
We heady.

1584
01:35:28.520 --> 01:35:30.560
Maybe i'd better take him into the office and call

1585
01:35:30.640 --> 01:35:31.039
the no.

1586
01:35:32.119 --> 01:35:35.199
No, thank said he. There's no need to Daddy. He's

1587
01:35:35.279 --> 01:35:36.039
just another wolf.

1588
01:35:36.600 --> 01:35:37.279
Tell him to believe.

1589
01:35:37.319 --> 01:35:37.920
That's good enough.

1590
01:35:38.720 --> 01:35:43.720
You heard what the lady said, Bud, start traveling, okay, Jim,

1591
01:35:44.560 --> 01:35:45.359
anything you say.

1592
01:35:46.680 --> 01:35:47.880
I'll see the lady later.

1593
01:35:48.960 --> 01:35:50.520
He parked right across the street.

1594
01:35:51.039 --> 01:35:51.920
It's trengthful.

1595
01:35:52.479 --> 01:35:54.079
You should have let me call the cops.

1596
01:35:54.720 --> 01:35:57.119
I would have it he hadn't had you covered with

1597
01:35:57.199 --> 01:35:57.640
his gun.

1598
01:35:57.920 --> 01:36:01.000
Oh thanks, kid, Hetty.

1599
01:36:01.039 --> 01:36:03.560
I gotta get out of town fast after what you just.

1600
01:36:03.600 --> 01:36:06.760
Did for me. That's a cinch. Grab some clothes while

1601
01:36:06.760 --> 01:36:07.399
I sold my wife.

1602
01:36:07.439 --> 01:36:10.039
I'm bringing you home. We'll go out the rear entrance.

1603
01:36:10.119 --> 01:36:12.479
My car's on the lot next door. Tomorrow, I'll call

1604
01:36:12.520 --> 01:36:14.239
a friend of mine in Denver. It'll put you to

1605
01:36:14.279 --> 01:36:14.880
work right away.

1606
01:36:15.920 --> 01:36:17.920
Yeah, you better change your name.

1607
01:36:17.800 --> 01:36:35.159
Though, that'll be easy. I'm getting used to it, so.

1608
01:36:37.760 --> 01:36:40.960
That's sir. I met Mary Winsom in Denver, the high

1609
01:36:41.000 --> 01:36:47.600
head come Builders, gladess chains. She lumined me about two months,

1610
01:36:47.640 --> 01:36:49.119
and then she she.

1611
01:36:49.239 --> 01:36:50.319
Left, just like that.

1612
01:36:50.479 --> 01:36:52.760
One night when I went away to told to some guy,

1613
01:36:52.840 --> 01:36:57.600
one of the interviewers for a magazine, that's.

1614
01:36:58.920 --> 01:36:59.680
That's the last day.

1615
01:37:01.319 --> 01:37:02.399
That's the end of the story.

1616
01:37:03.640 --> 01:37:12.680
Vaccine and Mary Winslow told you, who are very close friends, I'll.

1617
01:37:12.479 --> 01:37:16.279
Say your word. You expect me to believe.

1618
01:37:16.039 --> 01:37:17.399
That it's true, every word of it.

1619
01:37:18.399 --> 01:37:20.399
You know something you ought to.

1620
01:37:20.399 --> 01:37:34.680
Be writing stories for the movies. The whistler will return

1621
01:37:34.760 --> 01:37:37.960
in just a moment with a strange ending to tonight's story.

1622
01:37:39.920 --> 01:37:41.800
Now the Christmas shopping is out of the way for

1623
01:37:41.880 --> 01:37:44.159
another year, most of us are figuring ways to get

1624
01:37:44.199 --> 01:37:47.960
our badly stretched budgets back into shape, which makes now

1625
01:37:48.159 --> 01:37:51.520
a mighty appropriate time to talk about Signal. The famous

1626
01:37:51.640 --> 01:37:55.520
go farther gasoline. My age, of course, is only one

1627
01:37:55.560 --> 01:37:57.560
of the reasons that folks who insist on getting the

1628
01:37:57.640 --> 01:38:02.000
most from each gasoline dollar choose. In addition, they like

1629
01:38:02.079 --> 01:38:05.680
the superior performance that goes hand in hand with mile age.

1630
01:38:06.399 --> 01:38:09.640
You see, the only way today's signal gasoline can give

1631
01:38:09.680 --> 01:38:12.479
you such good mile age is by helping your motor

1632
01:38:12.640 --> 01:38:16.159
run more efficiently. And when your motor runs more efficiently,

1633
01:38:16.520 --> 01:38:21.039
you also enjoy quicker starting, faster pickup, smoother power. The

1634
01:38:21.159 --> 01:38:23.359
things that make driving more pleasures.

1635
01:38:24.199 --> 01:38:25.239
So among your.

1636
01:38:25.239 --> 01:38:28.880
Resolutions for the new year, how about resolving to put

1637
01:38:28.960 --> 01:38:32.640
signal gasoline to the test in your car. See for

1638
01:38:32.760 --> 01:38:36.960
yourself why drivers who insist on quality as well as

1639
01:38:37.000 --> 01:38:40.279
those with an eye for economy are both switching to

1640
01:38:40.439 --> 01:38:46.239
signal the famous go farther gasoline. And now back to

1641
01:38:46.279 --> 01:38:46.800
the whistler.

1642
01:38:51.279 --> 01:38:54.840
Well, Mary, it let's as though you've lost, that your

1643
01:38:54.880 --> 01:38:58.520
one card wasn't enough. The man across the table, the

1644
01:38:58.600 --> 01:39:01.039
man you're sure of, the detective, him who has come

1645
01:39:01.079 --> 01:39:03.920
to take you back to Los Angeles to stand trial

1646
01:39:04.039 --> 01:39:06.000
for a hold up and murder you had nothing to

1647
01:39:06.119 --> 01:39:09.800
do with, doesn't believe you, does it? And but jury

1648
01:39:09.840 --> 01:39:14.239
in Los Angeles won't believe you either. Yes, Mary, it

1649
01:39:14.359 --> 01:39:17.159
looks as though you've lost. But you're going to play

1650
01:39:17.239 --> 01:39:20.039
the game to the end anyway. And as the piano

1651
01:39:20.119 --> 01:39:23.199
player across the floor plays the tune he's played a

1652
01:39:23.359 --> 01:39:27.039
thousand times in the last two weeks, you quietly watched

1653
01:39:27.119 --> 01:39:29.760
Fontaine and await his next word.

1654
01:39:33.079 --> 01:39:34.560
How long did you say you've been here?

1655
01:39:35.199 --> 01:39:41.159
I didn't say I got here about five months ago.

1656
01:39:42.319 --> 01:39:45.399
Here no.

1657
01:39:47.279 --> 01:40:03.199
Figure looks, Thanks night, Thanks again, Miss Porter.

1658
01:40:05.880 --> 01:40:08.479
Did you say, Miss Porter?

1659
01:40:09.560 --> 01:40:12.079
That's what you said your name was, didn't you. That's

1660
01:40:12.119 --> 01:40:13.359
what the building says too, isn't it.

1661
01:40:13.880 --> 01:40:15.920
Thanks for believing.

1662
01:40:16.079 --> 01:40:19.239
There's just one thing I'd like to ask you ask

1663
01:40:19.319 --> 01:40:24.680
me anything? Uh blowing windslow as well as you do.

1664
01:40:26.239 --> 01:40:28.079
Do you think she might come back to Los Angeles

1665
01:40:28.159 --> 01:40:31.359
sometime sort of clear things up?

1666
01:40:33.520 --> 01:40:35.840
I think she might someday.

1667
01:40:37.800 --> 01:40:41.079
You see, a girl like Mary Winds will get to

1668
01:40:41.159 --> 01:40:45.520
feel kind of soiled, have to work in around in

1669
01:40:45.640 --> 01:40:46.199
joints like this.

1670
01:40:48.239 --> 01:40:50.039
She'd probably want to spend a little time.

1671
01:40:51.920 --> 01:40:56.439
Maybe up in the desert in the sunshine, sort of.

1672
01:40:58.399 --> 01:41:01.680
Freshening up before any buddy she cared about.

1673
01:41:03.560 --> 01:41:09.600
Yeah, came the shoe and this was a pretty long

1674
01:41:09.680 --> 01:41:10.439
trip for nothing.

1675
01:41:10.520 --> 01:41:12.359
You mightst say, just.

1676
01:41:12.439 --> 01:41:17.399
One more bum stair, But I'm glad I came. I

1677
01:41:17.479 --> 01:41:20.319
always figured that confessionally found on Joe Clark was a phony.

1678
01:41:21.960 --> 01:41:23.920
It is Joe Clark in jail.

1679
01:41:24.119 --> 01:41:27.479
He's dead. The Brooklyn police got him one night, about

1680
01:41:28.399 --> 01:41:31.439
five months ago. You know how they got the tip.

1681
01:41:32.119 --> 01:41:33.920
A woman called the police one knife from the Little

1682
01:41:33.960 --> 01:41:37.239
Knife Club, the Golden Lion Club. She hung out before

1683
01:41:37.239 --> 01:41:39.199
they answered the phone. But the Brooklyn boy decided to

1684
01:41:39.239 --> 01:41:42.239
investigate anyway, one of them spotted Clark parking the car

1685
01:41:42.319 --> 01:41:45.159
across the street and he got triggered. Happy what was

1686
01:41:45.199 --> 01:41:46.880
that joke?

1687

1690
01:41:56.079 --> 01:41:58.239

I'm not a cop, miss, but you're not then, And

1692
01:42:05.760 --> 01:42:09.560

1696
01:42:23.399 --> 01:42:26.680

1702
01:42:42.399 --> 01:42:44.319

1704
01:42:49.520 --> 01:42:50.039

go off at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

1910
01:55:18.960 --> 01:55:21.560
What happens if he opens it before?

1911

1969
01:58:48.439 --> 01:58:48.600
Oh?

1970
01:58:48.640 --> 01:58:50.920

the dirt. I just picked one up. We come back

They sure do look alike.

1974
01:59:00.279 --> 01:59:01.079
Stupid dope.

1975
01:59:01.159 --> 01:59:03.359
You gotta mixed up the packages, Boss, What would that

1976
01:59:03.479 --> 01:59:07.279

1978
01:59:08.720 --> 01:59:09.479

You got me?

1981

Boy?

1982
01:59:11.520 --> 01:59:14.479
I guess they're way about the same. We cannot tell

1983
01:59:14.520 --> 01:59:17.279
that way, Boss. Maybe we should have put different colored

1984
01:59:17.359 --> 01:59:21.039
ribbons on him so as we could tell No, now

1985
01:59:21.119 --> 01:59:22.039
you're getting smart.

1986
01:59:22.199 --> 01:59:23.560
No, now he thinks of it.

1987
01:59:24.640 --> 01:59:28.600
Uh, come on, we're going back up the arties.

1988
01:59:28.840 --> 01:59:30.840
Yeah, he'll open them up, find him on with the bomb,

1989
01:59:30.880 --> 01:59:32.079
and then we'll wrap him up again.

1990
01:59:32.279 --> 01:59:35.159
Oh sure, Rick, Sure that's Benny.

1991
01:59:35.960 --> 01:59:37.840
I should have rupped him out a long time ago,

1992
01:59:38.960 --> 01:59:40.520
you know, Boss, I sure wish I could be there

1993
01:59:40.520 --> 01:59:42.359
and see his face when he opens up the bomber.

1994
01:59:43.000 --> 01:59:44.439
You know, it's too bad. He will not get time

1995
01:59:44.520 --> 01:59:46.039
to read the guards to hold his problem.

1996
01:59:48.119 --> 01:59:48.920
Are they open up?

1997
01:59:48.960 --> 01:59:54.079
It's Rick, because that's the true.

1998
01:59:54.399 --> 01:59:57.920
Yeah, we had some trouble Benny and some of his boys.

1999
01:59:57.960 --> 01:59:58.920
As we was walking out.

2000
01:59:59.439 --> 02:00:02.840
They missed we ain't gonna jerk your here. Got the

2001
02:00:02.920 --> 02:00:04.880
packages mixed up though, you gotta open up to see

2002
02:00:04.880 --> 02:00:10.079
which is which. Well, come on, come on, the rule,

2003
02:00:10.960 --> 02:00:12.680
so opening up so it don't blow up.

2004
02:00:14.800 --> 02:00:15.279
You can't.

2005
02:00:15.840 --> 02:00:17.399
What do you mean you can't? What are your nuts?

2006
02:00:17.439 --> 02:00:19.079
How am I gonna know which one you send that rat?

2007
02:00:20.439 --> 02:00:23.359
Boss? Boss? Maybe we could have thrown a bomb in

2008
02:00:23.439 --> 02:00:24.800
the river, then it would be okay.

2009
02:00:24.960 --> 02:00:27.720
Oh sure boy, what a shnook we throw to ermine

2010
02:00:27.720 --> 02:00:30.079
and the river too? What you know which is the bomb?

2011
02:00:31.600 --> 02:00:34.000

2012
02:00:34.279 --> 02:00:34.840
too gees.

2013
02:00:34.920 --> 02:00:36.239
And you know what it comes out of your cut

2014
02:00:36.319 --> 02:00:38.960
in the next job we do, we gotta send boat

2015
02:00:39.000 --> 02:00:39.800
boxes to Betty.

2016
02:00:39.880 --> 02:00:42.920
Now, Boss, maybe the Ermine one blow up when he does,

2017
02:00:42.960 --> 02:00:44.600
and then we can take it back from his tomato

2018
02:00:44.720 --> 02:00:45.680
after he is buried.

2019
02:00:47.600 --> 02:00:51.560
Swifty, do me a favor. Stop making me feel so

2020
02:00:51.720 --> 02:00:55.399

I should call him and kind of ask after his help.

2078
02:03:33.520 --> 02:03:35.720
No, no, if he ain't got it jet, he might

2101
02:04:29.479 --> 02:04:31.800
paper up, but you can't open the box. We got

2102
02:04:31.880 --> 02:04:33.800

2103
02:04:39.960 --> 02:04:43.399
Hey, boss, that box looks awful familiar.

Looks just like the ones we sent to Benny. Don't it?

2107
02:04:53.920 --> 02:04:58.960
Same size, same rebon, same everything. Kind of makes you wonder.

2108
02:04:59.159 --> 02:05:01.760
Don't be silly. They got millions of boxes like this.

2109
02:05:02.800 --> 02:05:05.960
Oh it happens. There's something very special in there for

2110
02:05:06.119 --> 02:05:06.720
my sweete.

2111
02:05:07.920 --> 02:05:08.960
Go ahead and open it.

2112
02:05:09.159 --> 02:05:12.359
Go ahead, No, no, I'll wait. I ain't like Benny.

2113
02:05:12.399 --> 02:05:12.840
I can wait.

2114
02:05:12.920 --> 02:05:15.840
Oh, honey, you open it. It's okay, I'll get you

2115
02:05:15.920 --> 02:05:17.520
something else to open on Christmas.

2116
02:05:17.880 --> 02:05:20.119
I'm sure. Why not, boss, you need something to make

2117
02:05:20.159 --> 02:05:21.880

2118
02:05:22.039 --> 02:05:23.520
No, I don't want to feel no better.

2119
02:05:23.960 --> 02:05:26.760
Oh and I thought you'd like it so much you'd

2120
02:05:26.800 --> 02:05:29.239
go with me and maybe buye chin chilla they got

2121
02:05:29.319 --> 02:05:32.479
on sale at Hogrooms. It's only fifteen hundred, just what

2122
02:05:32.600 --> 02:05:33.920
you wanted to play for the omond.

2123
02:05:34.279 --> 02:05:35.239
I like chinchilla?

2124
02:05:36.399 --> 02:05:36.840
Open it?

2125
02:05:38.239 --> 02:05:44.359
All right, all right, I'll open it, hey, Swifty, go

2126
02:05:44.439 --> 02:05:44.680

2127
02:05:46.039 --> 02:05:48.319
Oh I can't wait for the lid to come up.

2128
02:05:50.079 --> 02:05:56.560
Oh yeah, yeah, now, well wait a minute, Wait a minute.

2129
02:05:57.279 --> 02:06:00.000
What it's a a guy at the store.

2130
02:06:02.520 --> 02:06:10.119
Yeah, do you want me to no, yeah, mister McQueen,

2131
02:06:11.000 --> 02:06:13.640
this is mister Minch in the third apartment at Halgrims. So,

2132
02:06:14.640 --> 02:06:17.880
mister McQueen, I'm terribly sorry, but I think there's been

2133
02:06:17.920 --> 02:06:18.479
a mistake.

2134
02:06:18.920 --> 02:06:19.960
Well what kind of stake?

2135
02:06:20.000 --> 02:06:22.279
What do you mean a little confusion? But I'm sure

2136
02:06:22.319 --> 02:06:23.439
it can be easily rectified.

2137
02:06:23.760 --> 02:06:26.239
Your wife bought something for you yesterday which was to be.

2138
02:06:26.279 --> 02:06:27.119
Delivered this morning.

2139
02:06:27.279 --> 02:06:28.520
Yeah, yeah, it's already come.

2140
02:06:29.039 --> 02:06:30.760
Yes, Well, there.

2141
02:06:30.640 --> 02:06:32.439
Seems to have been an error made in the shipping

2142
02:06:32.479 --> 02:06:35.439
department a matter of mislaided dress slips. Now, I wonder

2143
02:06:35.439 --> 02:06:37.920
if you'd mind opening the package which you just received,

2144
02:06:38.520 --> 02:06:40.760
or perhaps since it's a Christmas parcel and a surprise

2145
02:06:40.880 --> 02:06:43.119
which you no doubt your wife would rather do it.

2146
02:06:44.600 --> 02:06:46.000
Why what's wrong with it?

2147
02:06:46.199 --> 02:06:46.359
Well?

2148
02:06:46.880 --> 02:06:50.560
You see those two boxes which your your man brought

2149
02:06:50.600 --> 02:06:53.399
in yesterday afternoon haven't gone out yet. They were to

2150
02:06:53.479 --> 02:06:55.159
be sent to mister Benjamin Mollusk.

2151
02:06:55.279 --> 02:06:56.039
I believe it is.

2152
02:06:57.359 --> 02:06:59.960
I think the gift which you have is one of those,

2153
02:07:00.239 --> 02:07:02.319
and well yours is his.

2154
02:07:02.560 --> 02:07:04.399
And that is if you follow me, now, if you

2155
02:07:04.600 --> 02:07:12.920
open it, I'm sure, boss, there's something wrong.

2156
02:07:13.319 --> 02:07:14.680
Hey, you're pail.

2157
02:07:15.279 --> 02:07:17.399
You seek what's the time?

2158
02:07:18.039 --> 02:07:20.039
That's a quarter to two?

2159
02:07:21.039 --> 02:07:21.560
Your present?

2160
02:07:21.960 --> 02:07:26.119
Nobody touched that boxes? Loaded the bomb?

2161
02:07:26.880 --> 02:07:27.119
Yeah?

2162
02:07:27.880 --> 02:07:31.319
The bomb? Well, of course a quarterbacks.

2163
02:07:31.479 --> 02:07:34.640
You shut up swiftly. I got enough trouble without her

2164
02:07:34.720 --> 02:07:35.079
hair and that.

2165
02:07:35.560 --> 02:07:37.359
Oh oh yeah, I get you.

2166
02:07:37.520 --> 02:07:38.399
Are you talking about me?

2167
02:07:39.119 --> 02:07:39.239
Oh?

2168
02:07:39.279 --> 02:07:40.840
You get that thing out of here, get it.

2169
02:07:40.880 --> 02:07:41.479
Down to the store.

2170
02:07:41.520 --> 02:07:44.159
I gotta send a special messenger. Let him send all

2171
02:07:44.239 --> 02:07:45.680
three boxes to that punk Benny.

2172
02:07:45.720 --> 02:07:48.239
Well, what do I care? Maybe I should send him

2173
02:07:48.239 --> 02:07:50.000
a Cadillac to go with it, you.

2174
02:07:50.039 --> 02:07:50.640
Know, what I think.

2175
02:07:51.079 --> 02:07:52.720
I think it'll be cheaper to kill myself.

2176
02:08:11.159 --> 02:08:13.680
Hey, what's the time for a baby?

2177
02:08:14.319 --> 02:08:16.720
Where is that swift yet here?

2178
02:08:17.239 --> 02:08:18.880
Maybe Benny got him?

2179
02:08:19.479 --> 02:08:21.800
Hereeah, maybe I should have sent you an Artie with him.

2180
02:08:23.239 --> 02:08:25.239
Get it, Otie? You don't know's the meal cover here?

2181
02:08:29.920 --> 02:08:30.159
Eh?

2182
02:08:32.119 --> 02:08:33.000
It's me Artie?

2183
02:08:33.039 --> 02:08:34.199

You're sure this time? I sure?

2195

I guarantee it, yeah.

2198
02:09:11.000 --> 02:09:12.920
Because you might not like the color I got you,

2199
02:09:13.279 --> 02:09:15.039
so I wish you would open it. And if right,

2200

2201
02:09:16.920 --> 02:09:19.359
change it and maybe take a look at Chinchilla.

2202
02:09:19.359 --> 02:09:22.159
As I was telling you about this time, I'm gonna

2203
02:09:22.199 --> 02:09:24.680
wait when Benny blows up, I open it.

2204
02:09:26.119 --> 02:09:26.720
What's the time?

2205
02:09:27.399 --> 02:09:29.439
That's uh two minutes to four?

02:09:30.279 --> 02:09:31.720
You should is your what's right?

2207
02:09:32.319 --> 02:09:32.439
Well?

2208
02:09:32.520 --> 02:09:34.960
Boss, I just call it tomato and a telephone that gives.

02:09:34.840 --> 02:09:35.279
You the time.

2210
02:09:35.439 --> 02:09:37.760
Honey, Pat, you're too nervous. This ain't like you.

2211
02:09:38.119 --> 02:09:39.279
Here, I'll open it for you.

02:09:39.840 --> 02:09:43.439
Mil you quit that? Oh sure, turn of easy sports.

2213

You're all right?

2214
02:09:44.960 --> 02:09:46.800
Oh, I guess you're just gonna love it.

2215
02:09:46.960 --> 02:09:50.159
I just bet it's about Benny. He opened it.

2216
02:09:50.399 --> 02:09:50.960
What are your bet?

2217
02:09:51.279 --> 02:09:51.600

2218
02:09:51.880 --> 02:09:52.720
Right through the wall?

2219
02:09:56.039 --> 02:09:58.079
Yeah? Rick is the machine gun?

2220
02:09:58.199 --> 02:10:02.039
Benny, Benny, listen, I feel like a diary rat.

2221
02:10:02.159 --> 02:10:05.079
That's what I feel like a didy rat when I

2222
02:10:05.239 --> 02:10:07.520
think what I try to do to you yesterday, and

2223
02:10:07.720 --> 02:10:10.039

2224
02:10:10.159 --> 02:10:13.199
presence which I am my gyl right now wearing.

2225
02:10:13.399 --> 02:10:14.600
I think I could eat one.

2226

Yeah, she says she never sees such an oymon and

2227
02:10:18.800 --> 02:10:20.760
the raw Bart's the greatest.

2228
02:10:21.159 --> 02:10:24.399
Oh, Paul, I am a heel. But it ain't too

2229
02:10:24.479 --> 02:10:25.079
late to change.

2230
02:10:25.319 --> 02:10:27.239
Hey, what do you say we bury the Hatchetay?

2231

You and me run the town together.

2234
02:10:34.359 --> 02:10:35.199
What are you saying?

2235
02:10:36.159 --> 02:10:36.520

2242
02:11:00.119 --> 02:11:05.760
Benny. Yeah, this one's the bomb?

2243
02:11:08.039 --> 02:11:10.680
Yeah, too bad.

2244
02:11:13.000 --> 02:11:16.760
What's the time? It's three minutes after four?

2245
02:11:18.359 --> 02:11:19.840
We asked.

2246
02:11:21.079 --> 02:11:23.680
Adi. The time has come and gone.

2247
02:11:23.720 --> 02:11:24.920
How come it didn't go off?

2248
02:11:25.640 --> 02:11:26.399
Look up over the.

2249
02:11:29.039 --> 02:11:29.520

He says he did not want to blow nobody up?

2251
02:11:34.720 --> 02:11:35.760
Sun there to Christmas?

2252
02:11:36.920 --> 02:11:39.159
Then what's in the box of curci?

02:11:40.720 --> 02:11:41.560
It's gonna show it?

The suspenses is well is palpable? My dear?

Do you like it?

2279
02:15:04.960 --> 02:15:10.000
It wasn't exactly easy for me to obtain, but I

2280
02:15:10.159 --> 02:15:15.800
knew you would appreciate it. Oh what's that? Oh no, no,

2281
02:15:16.479 --> 02:15:26.079

2282
02:15:26.239 --> 02:15:28.920

2283
02:15:30.279 --> 02:15:30.560
I do.

2284
02:15:30.800 --> 02:15:37.560
Hope this brings you a very happy holiday. What's that? Well?

2285
02:15:38.640 --> 02:15:43.840
I suppose we could also have a present for Ricky.

2286
02:15:58.560 --> 02:16:02.119
I'm there and I know many things.

2287
02:16:02.359 --> 02:16:03.479
For I walked by night.

2288
02:16:04.159 --> 02:16:05.800
I know many strange.

2289
02:16:05.479 --> 02:16:08.239
Tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who

2290
02:16:08.279 --> 02:16:12.439
had stepped into the shadows. Yet I know the nameless

2291
02:16:12.600 --> 02:16:18.039
terrors of which they dare not speak to night. It's

2292
02:16:18.079 --> 02:16:33.559
the whisper's strange story are present for Ricky dressed. The

2293
02:16:33.639 --> 02:16:37.520
spotlight subtly changed from white to a delicate blue, and

2294
02:16:37.639 --> 02:16:41.319
the small nightclub orchestra slid into three quarter times as

2295
02:16:41.360 --> 02:16:44.959
the dance team began their waltz. The Croydons, Clyde and

2296
02:16:45.040 --> 02:16:47.719
Marie had held top filling at the club for almost

2297
02:16:47.760 --> 02:16:52.120
a year, and it was well deserved. Drinks stood unnoticed

2298
02:16:52.159 --> 02:16:56.920
on the table, conversation stumped. Everyone now was watching the Croydon,

2299
02:16:57.360 --> 02:17:03.159
or rather Marie kreud slim, graceful blue velvet, Marie smiling

2300
02:17:03.280 --> 02:17:06.360
as she spun across the floor, poised for a moment,

2301
02:17:06.799 --> 02:17:11.159
and floated effortlessly back to Clyde, waiting on. The customers

2302
02:17:11.200 --> 02:17:14.760
loved felt that there was a first time look about it,

2303
02:17:15.200 --> 02:17:17.399
even in the way they murmured to each other as

2304
02:17:17.440 --> 02:17:21.879
they swayed gently together in three quarter times and your

2305
02:17:21.920 --> 02:17:22.520
chose tonight?

2306
02:17:22.639 --> 02:17:26.479
Each are you why did it long for a change?

2307
02:17:26.600 --> 02:17:27.479
To take it easy?

2308
02:17:28.159 --> 02:17:30.840
If I have to prop you up on another ternnel spot.

2309
02:17:36.040 --> 02:17:39.719
Yes, the customer's love. Clyde and Marie husband and wife,

2310
02:17:40.360 --> 02:17:45.040
quiet maturity and breathless youths. And at the same time,

2311
02:17:45.159 --> 02:17:47.920
on the other side of the room, a theatrical agent

2312
02:17:48.079 --> 02:17:52.280
named Stanley Craig appraised the Croydon's a little more critically.

2313
02:17:52.879 --> 02:17:56.760
You like her Asian girl's good. He just needs a

2314
02:17:56.840 --> 02:18:04.959
younger partner. The old boy slows her up. Let me

2315
02:18:05.000 --> 02:18:07.799
see what I mean? Well, that's been that's.

2316
02:18:07.680 --> 02:18:08.479
Just the old boy.

2317
02:18:08.479 --> 02:18:09.440
He's killing me act.

2318
02:18:10.079 --> 02:18:12.360
You wouldn't be fiction to cut him off at the ankles.

2319
02:18:12.440 --> 02:18:13.719
What do you mean?

2320
02:18:14.360 --> 02:18:17.200
You just might be promoting the rumber expert you just picked.

2321
02:18:17.040 --> 02:18:20.399
Up as a new partner names Ricky.

2322
02:18:21.479 --> 02:18:22.200
What if I am?

2323
02:18:23.239 --> 02:18:25.360
He's the boy who can do it. He's young, Mike,

2324
02:18:25.440 --> 02:18:27.719
he's got looks and you you see what I mean?

2325
02:18:46.079 --> 02:18:48.719
All right, Marie, let's get it over with.

2326
02:18:49.440 --> 02:18:50.159
Get what over with?

2327
02:18:50.920 --> 02:18:52.639
You're likely speech that.

2328
02:18:52.840 --> 02:18:54.079
Fact you made out on the floor.

2329
02:18:54.719 --> 02:18:56.319
Oh yes, that.

2330
02:18:58.559 --> 02:18:59.520
My head is quick hard.

2331
02:19:00.680 --> 02:19:03.440
I'm waiting, Marie, don't forget it.

2332
02:19:04.680 --> 02:19:06.079
I don't want to go through it all again.

2333
02:19:06.200 --> 02:19:08.159
Now I think it's time we had it out.

2334
02:19:08.600 --> 02:19:11.680
Listen, Clyde, why you tiny kids yoursel?

2335
02:19:12.239 --> 02:19:13.639
You know it can't go on like this.

2336
02:19:13.920 --> 02:19:16.879
I don't know, just got a pretty good hand.

2337
02:19:17.200 --> 02:19:18.479
You mean I got a good hand.

2338
02:19:18.520 --> 02:19:19.479
You might as well admit it.

2339
02:19:19.719 --> 02:19:21.040
I don't think that's quite fair, but.

2340
02:19:21.079 --> 02:19:21.959
That's true, Clyde.

2341
02:19:23.280 --> 02:19:27.479
You'reting tired of popping you up, covering up your fumbles, Harry,

2342
02:19:27.559 --> 02:19:29.079
my hair, my mouth every time, it's going to it.

2343
02:19:29.200 --> 02:19:30.840
Now, wait a minute, you wait.

2344
02:19:30.680 --> 02:19:35.840
A minute, maybe you might maybe we better have it

2345
02:19:35.920 --> 02:19:36.479
out right now.

2346
02:19:36.680 --> 02:19:39.600
When I picked you up, you were nothing jitterbug camp

2347
02:19:39.639 --> 02:19:42.360
you know, West Washington Heights. Why in five years, don't

2348
02:19:42.399 --> 02:19:43.520
give me that loyalty?

2349
02:19:43.680 --> 02:19:45.040
Kid, I've heard it before.

2350
02:19:46.760 --> 02:19:49.520
If you really want to talk about loyalty, let's talk about.

2351
02:19:49.239 --> 02:19:50.040
Your first wife.

2352
02:19:50.879 --> 02:19:52.159
You forgot about her in a hurry.

2353
02:19:52.200 --> 02:19:53.840
Didn't you sure she was too old?

2354
02:19:53.959 --> 02:19:56.520
Throwing up the ass? Didn't let if you then?

2355
02:19:56.680 --> 02:19:56.920
Did it?

2356
02:19:57.399 --> 02:19:57.440
No?

2357
02:19:58.280 --> 02:19:59.879
Sorry, baby, I got to get rid of you.

2358
02:20:00.360 --> 02:20:02.000
I know it's tough for the show business.

2359
02:20:02.479 --> 02:20:03.559
Off you go to Reno.

2360
02:20:04.399 --> 02:20:05.719
What makes you think I'm old?

2361
02:20:05.959 --> 02:20:06.680
You're forty.

2362
02:20:07.440 --> 02:20:11.840
That's too old for me, and it's not just my opinion.

2363
02:20:12.719 --> 02:20:14.840
Talk about who's talking about it?

2364
02:20:15.159 --> 02:20:15.879
People who ought to.

2365
02:20:15.920 --> 02:20:18.680
Know telling each other. I'd be on top.

2366
02:20:19.360 --> 02:20:21.760
I had a partner, boon didn't creak.

2367
02:20:22.239 --> 02:20:25.680
You got somebody in mind, we'll forget it. I have

2368
02:20:25.840 --> 02:20:29.159
no intention of letting you go. There's a partner, or

2369
02:20:29.239 --> 02:20:31.000
as a wife, yes.

2370
02:20:31.600 --> 02:20:35.959
Much without me, you would be right bottom, billing at

2371
02:20:35.959 --> 02:20:38.680
our third rate, by less than Jersey City.

2372
02:20:38.799 --> 02:20:41.239
That has nothing to do with it, all right, give

2373
02:20:41.280 --> 02:20:42.840
me a better reason over there.

2374
02:20:42.799 --> 02:20:43.760
On the table.

2375
02:20:45.120 --> 02:20:45.520
Roses.

2376
02:20:48.799 --> 02:20:53.239
It's the reason Marie, these roses night after night, the

2377
02:20:53.360 --> 02:20:54.040
same card.

2378
02:20:54.319 --> 02:20:54.600
Ricky?

2379
02:20:59.360 --> 02:20:59.959
Who is Ricky?

2380
02:21:01.239 --> 02:21:02.040
One of the customers?

2381
02:21:02.079 --> 02:21:02.799
He likes my dance?

2382
02:21:02.920 --> 02:21:05.799
Is that all so far? I think you're in love

2383
02:21:05.879 --> 02:21:08.360
with him? That's what's behind all of it. Stuck about

2384
02:21:08.399 --> 02:21:08.879
my dancing?

2385
02:21:08.959 --> 02:21:09.239
Isn't it?

2386
02:21:09.879 --> 02:21:12.799
You love this guy and my dancing is as good

2387
02:21:12.799 --> 02:21:13.959
an excuse as any that.

2388
02:21:15.920 --> 02:21:16.280
Who is.

2389
02:21:18.280 --> 02:21:18.879
The name is?

2390
02:21:19.239 --> 02:21:20.200
What's his last name?

2391
02:21:20.319 --> 02:21:22.559
It's not yours at the moment I think it is.

2392
02:21:23.920 --> 02:21:25.920
He's a dancer, isn't it? Yes?

2393
02:21:26.280 --> 02:21:28.440
Imstor he's the dancer.

2394
02:21:30.000 --> 02:21:32.280
You might as well end the third degree right here.

2395
02:21:32.520 --> 02:21:36.639
You're planning to team up with a mart won't get

2396
02:21:36.680 --> 02:21:37.399
away with him.

2397
02:21:38.360 --> 02:21:40.559
In my career?

2398
02:21:40.680 --> 02:21:44.120
Doesn't mean anything you doesn't only when it affects mine.

2399
02:21:44.280 --> 02:21:46.200
That's why you married me, isn't it for the effect

2400
02:21:46.280 --> 02:21:47.399
I have on your career?

2401
02:21:47.559 --> 02:21:49.440
You married me for the same reason.

2402
02:21:49.559 --> 02:21:51.719
Well, maybe I did, but the reason is gone now.

2403
02:21:51.799 --> 02:22:00.520
I don't need you any more, pride. I need Ricky now,

2404
02:22:00.600 --> 02:22:00.799
you know.

2405
02:22:02.840 --> 02:22:06.360
Let's handle the whole thing reasonably. Shall we wind up

2406
02:22:06.399 --> 02:22:08.799
here in another week? How come you sh up with you?

2407
02:22:10.399 --> 02:22:13.200
Then I can find myself another clues.

2408
02:22:14.200 --> 02:22:18.360
Now that has take too long. I can't start all

2409
02:22:18.399 --> 02:22:22.360
over again now, I guess I'll have to start at

2410
02:22:22.399 --> 02:22:25.879
the other end with Ricky. I'll look him up tomorrow.

2411
02:22:25.959 --> 02:22:26.879
I don't even know who.

2412
02:22:27.440 --> 02:22:29.440
I have a pretty good idea who his agent is

2413
02:22:29.760 --> 02:22:32.600
that ought to get me somewhere? Stan Ley Craig, isn't

2414
02:22:32.639 --> 02:22:36.799
it Marine? How did you know dan Ley Craig theatrical agent?

2415
02:22:38.040 --> 02:22:41.000
You shouldn't have left his card on your desk yesterday,

2416
02:22:41.120 --> 02:22:47.520
Darling Ry, Why if you do anything to you do

2417
02:22:47.760 --> 02:22:48.479
love him? Don't you?

2418
02:22:49.120 --> 02:22:49.520
All right?

2419
02:22:49.600 --> 02:22:50.879
I love him for the last time?

2420
02:22:50.959 --> 02:22:52.879
What's it gonna be, Ricky on me?

2421
02:22:53.159 --> 02:22:56.719
I've already told you nothing can change his card.

2422
02:22:57.840 --> 02:23:01.959
This is our last week, all right?

2423
02:23:04.280 --> 02:23:05.760
That's all I wanted to miss.

2424
02:23:20.600 --> 02:23:23.559
In just thirty seconds. The whistler will continue to night story.

2425
02:23:24.760 --> 02:23:27.239
Don't be half right, use U Staffe.

2426
02:23:27.639 --> 02:23:30.559
For example, would you say that the use of calendars

2427
02:23:30.680 --> 02:23:35.239
goes back twelve hundred years. No, that's only half right.

2428
02:23:35.719 --> 02:23:38.799
Brush up on your ancient history. Tell your I and

2429
02:23:39.000 --> 02:23:41.879
E officer you want to study with the United States

2430
02:23:42.079 --> 02:23:46.959
Armed Forces Institute U Staffy. It's easy, it's simple. If

2431
02:23:47.000 --> 02:23:49.920
you don't want to be half right, use Usafie.

2432
02:23:51.040 --> 02:24:09.559
Now back to no whistler, Well, Clyde, it's all over.

2433
02:24:10.360 --> 02:24:13.000
Her mind is made up, and you know Marie well

2434
02:24:13.120 --> 02:24:15.760
enough to realize that nothing you can do or say

2435
02:24:15.879 --> 02:24:19.120
will change it now and everything she said was truth.

2436
02:24:19.680 --> 02:24:23.319
Without her, you're nothing. There'll be no more top billings

2437
02:24:23.319 --> 02:24:26.840
at one thousand a week, in expensive nightbocks, no more

2438
02:24:26.959 --> 02:24:31.719
polite applause from the cafe society crowd, no more penthouse apartments,

2439
02:24:32.639 --> 02:24:35.760
nothing but a seat on the sidelines while Marie and

2440
02:24:35.920 --> 02:24:40.360
Ricky drifts across ballroom floors, on and up to the top.

2441
02:24:41.799 --> 02:24:44.159
It's early the next morning when you leave your apartment

2442
02:24:44.239 --> 02:24:47.840
by the private elevator, and twenty minutes later you walk

2443
02:24:47.959 --> 02:24:51.479
up a flight of creaky stairs to Stanley Craig Hawk

2444
02:24:52.079 --> 02:24:58.159
in the West forties. Here, sir, what can I do

2445
02:24:58.319 --> 02:25:01.959
for it? Stanley Craig, that's name?

2446
02:25:02.360 --> 02:25:03.000
Pull up a chair.

2447
02:25:03.639 --> 02:25:04.000
Thank you.

2448
02:25:06.479 --> 02:25:08.319
I thought I might be a little early.

2449
02:25:09.760 --> 02:25:12.680
Hey, I didn't recognize you from you're Clyde Crowdon.

2450
02:25:13.559 --> 02:25:15.079
I saw you act again last night.

2451
02:25:15.479 --> 02:25:17.760
Really yeah, good act too.

2452
02:25:18.479 --> 02:25:18.799
Thank you?

2453
02:25:20.280 --> 02:25:21.079
What can I do for it?

2454
02:25:21.639 --> 02:25:22.799
Answer a few questions?

2455
02:25:23.600 --> 02:25:29.399
Yeah, glad to you manage a dancer named Ray. I

2456
02:25:29.479 --> 02:25:30.319
see what you get, man.

2457
02:25:31.840 --> 02:25:33.120
Yeah, I'm managing new.

2458
02:25:33.079 --> 02:25:35.280
Boy specialist numbers and time goes.

2459
02:25:35.559 --> 02:25:36.399
If i'd dancers.

2460
02:25:36.520 --> 02:25:40.319
That's what Marine tells me. Make a great team, mister

2461
02:25:40.399 --> 02:25:45.120
c Reggy and Marie. She's not at liberty, mister Craig.

2462
02:25:45.200 --> 02:25:49.479
She's my popul and my wife. I'm amid this sort

2463
02:25:49.520 --> 02:25:53.280
of thing going behind my back, but I'm sure she

2464
02:25:53.479 --> 02:25:57.920
resents it too. That's not what Ricky tell me. Well,

2465
02:25:58.000 --> 02:26:00.559
mister Croydon, you've been in the game long enough to

2466
02:26:00.680 --> 02:26:02.079
know what youth means.

2467
02:26:01.879 --> 02:26:02.680
In a dance ing.

2468
02:26:03.120 --> 02:26:04.600
I don't think you're being very fair to me.

2469
02:26:08.000 --> 02:26:10.040
If she goes for it, I guess Ricky'll be a

2470
02:26:10.120 --> 02:26:10.680
new apartment.

2471
02:26:11.280 --> 02:26:12.360
There's just nothing you can do.

2472
02:26:13.639 --> 02:26:17.319
I would like to talk to him if you don't mind, sure,

2473
02:26:18.040 --> 02:26:22.040
just say when today? Where is he not out in

2474
02:26:22.120 --> 02:26:25.440
the park somewhere? He walks for two hours every morning,

2475
02:26:25.520 --> 02:26:30.799
good for the legs, you know, alone. So I had

2476
02:26:30.879 --> 02:26:32.920
to find another guy who'd knock off eight miles in

2477
02:26:33.000 --> 02:26:35.920
the park before lunch. Don't you think, hey, he's a

2478
02:26:36.000 --> 02:26:41.399
long well does he come here after his walk? Sometimes yes, sometimes.

2479
02:26:40.959 --> 02:26:42.159
No, It might be a couple hours.

2480
02:26:42.559 --> 02:26:43.520
I have all morning.

2481
02:26:44.479 --> 02:26:48.000
Okay, the new variety's on the desk.

2482
02:26:48.680 --> 02:26:50.239
You'll be alone here now in the bottom.

2483
02:26:50.600 --> 02:26:57.799
Thanks. H Sure I met the card?

2484
02:26:58.040 --> 02:27:01.079
Yeah, no, i'd feel right.

2485
02:27:01.959 --> 02:27:05.479
No hard feelings, Why.

2486
02:27:12.079 --> 02:27:15.719
No, Clyde, no hard feelings at all. That's the amazing

2487
02:27:15.840 --> 02:27:19.000
realization that, not one minute ago, as you talked to

2488
02:27:19.079 --> 02:27:24.959
Stanley Craig, you calmly, unemotionally, coldly decided to murder your

2489
02:27:25.040 --> 02:27:26.280
wife Marie.

2490
02:27:33.079 --> 02:27:34.440
There was no shock to it at all.

2491
02:27:34.680 --> 02:27:36.360
If it is that it had been there all the

2492
02:27:36.520 --> 02:27:39.040
time in the back of your mind, waiting to be

2493
02:27:39.239 --> 02:27:43.479
formulated in the thought, Yes, Clyde, here you are. I'll

2494
02:27:43.520 --> 02:27:47.159
stand at Craig's office alone. Ricky is walking in the

2495
02:27:48.040 --> 02:27:51.840
Marie is at home alone. You realizement that he likes

2496
02:27:51.879 --> 02:27:56.079
it might not happen in a thousand years. If you're

2497
02:27:56.159 --> 02:27:59.120
going to do it at all, Clyd, you've got to.

2498
02:27:59.200 --> 02:27:59.760
Do it now.

2499
02:28:02.639 --> 02:28:04.559
On the top of the file cabinet you find a

2500
02:28:04.639 --> 02:28:09.319
package of Stanley Craig's letterhead on his desk about her typewriter.

2501
02:28:10.120 --> 02:28:12.760
In your pocket, the cards signed Ricky that came with

2502
02:28:12.799 --> 02:28:19.280
the flowers, and most important in your mind, an idea, Marie,

2503
02:28:19.799 --> 02:28:24.360
my darling. It is useless to try to put this

2504
02:28:24.559 --> 02:28:29.000
into words. I've told no one of your decisions to

2505
02:28:29.120 --> 02:28:34.120
stay with Clyde, because I know it isn't final, but you.

2506
02:28:34.360 --> 02:28:36.280
Love me and always will.

2507
02:28:37.440 --> 02:28:40.399
That's the only future for either of our feet together.

2508
02:28:43.399 --> 02:28:45.520
You finish the note, and at the bottom of it,

2509
02:28:45.719 --> 02:28:49.680
after all my love, you'll carefully copy Ricky's signature from

2510
02:28:49.719 --> 02:28:53.159
the card on the desk is a sharp letter opener

2511
02:28:53.239 --> 02:28:54.680
with Stanley Craig's naman.

2512
02:28:55.600 --> 02:28:56.520
That's part of it too.

2513
02:28:56.719 --> 02:28:56.959
Card.

2514
02:28:57.760 --> 02:29:00.319
You put it in your coat pocket ready when you

2515
02:29:00.440 --> 02:29:00.680
need it.

2516
02:29:01.719 --> 02:29:04.959
Now back to your departet. You still have over an

2517
02:29:05.000 --> 02:29:05.920
hour and.

2518
02:29:06.120 --> 02:29:21.520
You know Marie will be alone. Hello, Marie, Oh, how.

2519
02:29:21.520 --> 02:29:21.920
Are you ben?

2520
02:29:22.399 --> 02:29:23.159
You know where I went?

2521
02:29:24.120 --> 02:29:25.959
Did you see him? Ricky?

2522
02:29:26.719 --> 02:29:27.360
Who else?

2523
02:29:27.639 --> 02:29:30.680
He wasn't there? I think he was taking his morning

2524
02:29:30.760 --> 02:29:35.840
walk in the park. Remember when we used to walk

2525
02:29:35.879 --> 02:29:41.000
in the park together, Marie yet breaking my heart? All right,

2526
02:29:43.040 --> 02:29:45.479
all right, I want to show you a letter.

2527
02:29:46.000 --> 02:29:46.200
Huh.

2528
02:29:47.600 --> 02:29:54.239
Yes, really, it's addressed to you, Marie.

2529
02:29:54.040 --> 02:29:54.559
My dying.

2530
02:29:55.479 --> 02:29:58.120
It's useless to try to put this into woods.

2531
02:29:58.879 --> 02:30:02.120
I've told no one of your decision to stay with Clyde,

2532
02:30:02.200 --> 02:30:03.959
because I know it is in final.

2533
02:30:05.000 --> 02:30:09.319
But you love me and always, oh God, go.

2534
02:30:09.479 --> 02:30:10.000
On, Marie.

2535
02:30:10.079 --> 02:30:10.959
Read the rest of it.

2536
02:30:12.719 --> 02:30:17.840
True, always will that the only future for either of

2537
02:30:17.959 --> 02:30:21.639
us is together. You must believe me, Darling. I'd rather

2538
02:30:21.840 --> 02:30:24.239
die than have it any other way. I'm coming to

2539
02:30:24.280 --> 02:30:27.440
your apartment tomorrow morning at eleven. We must decide this

2540
02:30:27.719 --> 02:30:31.680
one thing for all all my love Ricky.

2541
02:30:33.200 --> 02:30:34.239
That the Madame Marie.

2542
02:30:36.680 --> 02:30:37.120
Clyde.

2543
02:30:37.280 --> 02:30:39.360
That's the funniest thing I've ever read in my life.

2544
02:30:40.399 --> 02:30:51.920
You're doing, if you're doing this, play okness.

2545
02:30:53.879 --> 02:30:57.159
He's going for the chair, Marie, for your murder.

2546
02:31:00.280 --> 02:31:02.040
Try please please.

2547
02:31:03.399 --> 02:31:23.040
No? Oh still aromas a cr yes, Still around, beginning

2548
02:31:23.079 --> 02:31:25.879
to wonder if Ricky will show up at all? Anybody call,

2549
02:31:27.079 --> 02:31:29.799
not unless they called. While I was out stretching my legs,

2550
02:31:29.879 --> 02:31:31.680
walked around the block a couple of times.

2551
02:31:32.440 --> 02:31:33.559
Sorry had to wait so long.

2552
02:31:33.680 --> 02:31:34.479
Oh that's all right.

2553
02:31:36.079 --> 02:31:40.319
It gave me a chance to think things over. That's

2554
02:31:40.719 --> 02:31:45.639
good or bad. I think it's good. I decided it's

2555
02:31:45.680 --> 02:31:48.600
wrong for me to try to stand in her way.

2556
02:31:50.319 --> 02:31:53.319
This looks like a break for her and Ricky. I

2557
02:31:53.399 --> 02:31:57.319
think they deserve a chance. I was hoping you see

2558
02:31:57.360 --> 02:31:57.840
it that way.

2559
02:31:58.840 --> 02:31:59.360
Thanks a lot.

2560
02:32:00.639 --> 02:32:07.239
Well, i'd better be going tell Ricky about that when

2561
02:32:07.319 --> 02:32:13.520
he comes. Sure the gun home? Yes, I think i'd

2562
02:32:13.559 --> 02:32:34.479
better tell Marie. Police headquartered. This is Clyde Croydon. I

2563
02:32:34.680 --> 02:32:37.479
live in the penthouse at twelve thirty two Warwick Place,

2564
02:32:38.280 --> 02:32:41.559
twelve thirty two. That's time. Please send somebody up here

2565
02:32:41.600 --> 02:32:44.040
as quickly as you can. My wife has been murdered.

2566
02:32:52.799 --> 02:32:58.319
Feel better, mister Cruden, I think so. Sidon, there's quite

2567
02:32:58.360 --> 02:33:00.600
a letter we found on the waist bash get what

2568
02:33:00.719 --> 02:33:03.959
do you think of it? I don't know what to think.

2569
02:33:04.520 --> 02:33:06.600
You knew what was going on between this man and

2570
02:33:06.680 --> 02:33:09.280
your way? There was nothing going on. It was all

2571
02:33:09.399 --> 02:33:10.200
in his mind.

2572
02:33:11.079 --> 02:33:11.520
What do you mean?

2573
02:33:12.159 --> 02:33:15.760
Well, look, I've never seen this Ricky.

2574
02:33:16.159 --> 02:33:17.239
I don't know who he is.

2575
02:33:17.639 --> 02:33:21.520
All I know is that he started sending Marie flowers

2576
02:33:21.600 --> 02:33:25.680
after every performance. He had some crazy idea she was

2577
02:33:25.760 --> 02:33:30.079
in love with him. It was ridiculous. She hardly knew him,

2578
02:33:30.680 --> 02:33:34.559
and what about the dance business that was part of

2579
02:33:34.639 --> 02:33:37.440
it too. He thought she'd leave me and team up

2580
02:33:37.479 --> 02:33:37.840
with him.

2581
02:33:37.920 --> 02:33:38.520
Don't ask me.

2582
02:33:38.600 --> 02:33:42.760
Why, but she laughed at him. H that's as good

2583
02:33:42.799 --> 02:33:46.079
a motive as I've seen in twenty years, you know.

2584
02:33:46.280 --> 02:33:46.319
So?

2585
02:33:46.319 --> 02:33:48.239
I wonder he didn't leave a confession note.

2586
02:33:48.120 --> 02:33:48.840
Right on the table.

2587
02:33:49.319 --> 02:33:52.440
He left e anything else? First class motive letter In

2588
02:33:52.520 --> 02:33:54.879
the waist past is the knife for his manager's name

2589
02:33:54.959 --> 02:34:02.040
on it, and the butcher's outside. Yet, after practically shouting

2590
02:34:02.079 --> 02:34:05.159
from the housetops said he'd killed her, he carefully wipes

2591
02:34:05.200 --> 02:34:12.399
his punch off the knife. Funny how a murderer's mind works,

2592
02:34:12.479 --> 02:34:18.360
isn't it? Yes, it's hard to understand, by the way,

2593
02:34:18.360 --> 02:34:22.159
missus Croydon, this is only a formality, of course. What

2594
02:34:22.399 --> 02:34:26.399
were you yesterday morning? In Craig's office, waiting for Ricky

2595
02:34:26.520 --> 02:34:27.079
to show up?

2596
02:34:27.760 --> 02:34:30.239
Craig seemed to think she'd go for him as a.

2597
02:34:30.280 --> 02:34:32.920
New partner, and I finally decided to go down and

2598
02:34:33.040 --> 02:34:37.079
settle it. Have any words, No, I just told him

2599
02:34:37.079 --> 02:34:39.040
if it was all right, with Marie. It was all

2600
02:34:39.159 --> 02:34:41.799
right with me. I knew, of course, how she felt

2601
02:34:41.840 --> 02:34:45.200
about him. Where it was Ricky at the time, walking

2602
02:34:45.280 --> 02:34:48.879
in the park, exercising his leg alone.

2603
02:34:49.959 --> 02:34:52.639
I yes, here it is again.

2604
02:34:53.319 --> 02:34:54.520
I bet the guy hasn't even.

2605
02:34:54.360 --> 02:34:57.079
Got himself an alibi. Have you talked to him yet?

2606
02:34:57.600 --> 02:35:00.520
The boys are looking him up now, they ask me,

2607
02:35:00.639 --> 02:35:03.399
mister Croydon, that guy's a dead pigeon.

2608
02:35:14.280 --> 02:35:16.559
All of us are proud of our hometowns, and rightly so.

2609
02:35:17.399 --> 02:35:19.760
In this brief moment, before we continue with our program,

2610
02:35:20.159 --> 02:35:21.840
we'd like to offer a salute to one of our

2611
02:35:21.920 --> 02:35:22.920
hometowns in America.

2612
02:35:23.239 --> 02:35:27.319
Cleveland, Ohio, the seventh largest city in the United States.

2613
02:35:28.000 --> 02:35:31.680
Cleveland was founded in seventeen ninety six by General Moses Cleveland,

2614
02:35:32.079 --> 02:35:35.840
chief surveyor for a land company. His employers bought three

2615
02:35:35.879 --> 02:35:39.200
million acres in what is now northern Ohio, paying forty

2616
02:35:39.280 --> 02:35:42.840
cents an acre. Just by way of comparison, an acre

2617
02:35:42.920 --> 02:35:46.399
in downtown Cleveland today would bring some two million dollars.

2618
02:35:47.680 --> 02:35:50.079
It is an important great Lake shipping point in the

2619
02:35:50.159 --> 02:35:55.559
sight of iron and steel manufacturings. Other Cleveland products include paints, varnishes,

2620
02:35:55.639 --> 02:36:00.239
electrical appliances, chemicals, and automobile and airplane parts. It is

2621
02:36:00.319 --> 02:36:03.479
well known for its cultural developments. Also, the city owns

2622
02:36:03.520 --> 02:36:06.879
and operates its own dramatic theater, and the Cleveland Symphony

2623
02:36:07.000 --> 02:36:10.959
Orchestra is widely acclaimed. In the Cleveland Cultural Gardens, a

2624
02:36:11.040 --> 02:36:14.239
mile long strip of park area, more than thirty nationality

2625
02:36:14.280 --> 02:36:18.399
groups represented in Cleveland's population are creating gardens as memorials

2626
02:36:18.440 --> 02:36:21.959
to peace. One hundred and twenty years is a short

2627
02:36:22.040 --> 02:36:25.559
time in the world's history, but during that time, Cleveland

2628
02:36:25.680 --> 02:36:28.319
has taken its honored place in the building of America.

2629
02:36:29.680 --> 02:36:48.840
Now back to the whistlers, well cried.

2630
02:36:49.079 --> 02:36:51.959
All it took was a little nerve. You're over the hunts,

2631
02:36:52.040 --> 02:36:55.120
now all ready to act as number one witness for

2632
02:36:55.159 --> 02:36:59.040
the prosecution in the case against break. Tomorrow the story

2633
02:36:59.079 --> 02:37:02.399
will break in the paper and the notoriety. The public

2634
02:37:02.559 --> 02:37:05.799
sympathy over your bereavement should make it easy to pick

2635
02:37:05.879 --> 02:37:08.600
up a new party, one who'll keep you in the

2636
02:37:08.719 --> 02:37:14.239
top spot in penthouse apartment with private elevators. Yes, God,

2637
02:37:15.040 --> 02:37:27.040
you can relax now you've decided it's all. Oh, Rogeant,

2638
02:37:27.479 --> 02:37:30.760
I'm sorry to disturb you, mister Croydon. I was about

2639
02:37:30.840 --> 02:37:36.760
to go to bed. Anything wrong we've got Ricky. Oh good, yeah,

2640
02:37:36.879 --> 02:37:43.200
just finished questioning him. Mind a recommend not at all. Well,

2641
02:37:43.319 --> 02:37:47.200
we check the note against Greg's typewriter. That's where it

2642
02:37:47.280 --> 02:37:49.440
came from, all right, And then it looks like you've

2643
02:37:49.479 --> 02:37:53.200
got a kick. No throws a curve for a while,

2644
02:37:54.639 --> 02:37:58.280
mean for a while, until we found Ricky. He claims,

2645
02:37:58.280 --> 02:38:00.600
you didn't write it. Good lord, what did you expecting

2646
02:38:00.719 --> 02:38:06.959
to say? In just a minute? Show you what I mean? Whatever,

2647
02:38:10.559 --> 02:38:15.040
cluden missus. Ricardo Montez, also known as Ricky.

2648
02:38:15.239 --> 02:38:15.719
He did it.

2649
02:38:15.840 --> 02:38:16.799
He killed my wife.

2650
02:38:16.879 --> 02:38:25.040
He wrote the note, said the Carolina said, wait a minute,

2651
02:38:25.040 --> 02:38:27.799
that's what I mean about the note. Croydon. The boy

2652
02:38:27.840 --> 02:38:30.559
doesn't know a word of English, he said, fake. We

2653
02:38:30.760 --> 02:38:33.040
checked that too, But there was another thing about that

2654
02:38:33.200 --> 02:38:36.239
note that really tied it up, Croydon. If he could

2655
02:38:36.280 --> 02:38:38.680
have written it, he'd have signed it in his own handwriting.

2656
02:38:38.799 --> 02:38:43.399
But it was his handwriting, it was his name, but

2657
02:38:43.600 --> 02:39:11.440
the florist's handwriting. Featured in Tonight's Story, where Bill Foreman

2658
02:39:11.520 --> 02:39:15.000
is the whistler, Vic Karnjeene Bates, Kerry Bartel and Jack

2659
02:39:15.079 --> 02:39:19.079
Moyles the Whistler, directed by Gordon T. Hughes, the music

2660
02:39:19.120 --> 02:39:22.440
by wilbra Hatch is produced by Joel Malone and transmitted

2661
02:39:22.479 --> 02:39:25.920
overseas by the Armed Forces Radio Service. The Whistler was

2662
02:39:26.079 --> 02:39:28.840
entirely fictional, and all characters portrayed on the Whistler are

2663
02:39:28.920 --> 02:39:33.040
also fictional. Any similarities of names or resemblances to persons

2664
02:39:33.200 --> 02:39:37.000
living or dead is purely coincidental. This is Dan Cubberley

2665
02:39:37.040 --> 02:39:39.680
speaking and reminding you to listen again next week for

2666
02:39:39.719 --> 02:39:55.200
another strange tale by the Whistler. This is the United

2667
02:39:55.239 --> 02:39:57.639
States Armed Forces Radio and Television Service.

2668
02:39:59.479 --> 02:40:04.120
Well, I'm glad you seem to have warmed up to

2669
02:40:04.239 --> 02:40:04.760
your gift.

2670
02:40:06.559 --> 02:40:06.760
Ah.

2671
02:40:09.040 --> 02:40:13.399
I think this calls for even more hot cocoa and

2672
02:40:13.520 --> 02:40:19.520
another log on the fire. These walls are thick and stone.

2673
02:40:21.000 --> 02:40:25.840
They do hold a chill if they want to, and

2674
02:40:26.040 --> 02:40:32.600
believe me, their mood is well unpredictable, to say the least.

2675
02:40:34.360 --> 02:40:37.040
I don't know about you, but sometimes I like to

2676
02:40:37.159 --> 02:40:41.440
let the temperature drop. I like to feel the chill,

2677
02:40:42.000 --> 02:40:45.479
like I'm some kind of abominable snowman.

2678
02:40:46.319 --> 02:40:51.360
Tired of the everyday grind, ever dream of a life

2679
02:40:51.440 --> 02:40:56.040
of romantic adventure, want to.

2680
02:40:56.040 --> 02:40:57.159
Get away from it all.

2681
02:40:58.760 --> 02:40:59.520
We offer you.

2682
02:41:01.639 --> 02:41:09.440
Escape, escape designed to free you from the four walls

2683
02:41:09.520 --> 02:41:12.360
of today for a half hour of high adventure.

2684
02:41:26.280 --> 02:41:29.360
You are high on the frozen slopes of a great mountain,

2685
02:41:30.319 --> 02:41:33.920
terrified and caught in a blizzard, while the thing for

2686
02:41:34.079 --> 02:41:38.920
which you've been hunting has suddenly become the hunter. And

2687
02:41:39.040 --> 02:41:43.159
if it finds you, then for you and your companions

2688
02:41:44.639 --> 02:41:46.799
there can be no escape.

2689
02:41:47.639 --> 02:41:51.040
So listen now as escape brings you Anthony Ellis's exciting

2690
02:41:51.159 --> 02:41:53.239
story The Abominable Snowman.

2691
02:42:17.520 --> 02:42:19.559
Our first bit of luck was when we hired our

2692
02:42:19.639 --> 02:42:24.159
shepherd guide, Nassang, that was in Darjiling. When I told

2693
02:42:24.280 --> 02:42:26.920
Nasang what we were after, he hesitated for a moment,

2694
02:42:27.879 --> 02:42:28.799
and then he said.

2695
02:42:29.200 --> 02:42:31.920
These shybes have not come to climb Shomolongma.

2696
02:42:32.319 --> 02:42:34.479
Oh no, we're a little late for that. It's already

2697
02:42:34.520 --> 02:42:37.200
been done. The other two sibs and myself are here

2698
02:42:37.280 --> 02:42:37.920
for the reason I.

2699
02:42:38.000 --> 02:42:40.079
Told you met to Kungmy.

2700
02:42:40.719 --> 02:42:41.120
That's right.

2701
02:42:42.159 --> 02:42:45.000
These sibs always hired me to climb the mountain with them,

2702
02:42:45.680 --> 02:42:46.520
but never this.

2703
02:42:47.239 --> 02:42:48.239
Are you afraid of them?

2704
02:42:49.079 --> 02:42:49.879
I have seen one.

2705
02:42:51.079 --> 02:42:51.799
You've seen one.

2706
02:42:52.239 --> 02:42:54.159
Yes, many of us have seen them.

2707
02:42:55.399 --> 02:43:02.959
Wait a minute, Alan, yeah, what's up? I meant of

2708
02:43:03.040 --> 02:43:05.200
viewing a sherpa and here he says he's seen one

2709
02:43:05.239 --> 02:43:08.319
of the things. He was Frank, we'll have to give

2710
02:43:08.360 --> 02:43:10.040
some tobacco, all right, Come on in.

2711
02:43:10.159 --> 02:43:11.200
I think this is our man.

2712
02:43:14.280 --> 02:43:14.639
Nasan.

2713
02:43:15.440 --> 02:43:19.920
This is mister Ferris sad Helona San Nasan was telling

2714
02:43:19.959 --> 02:43:20.799
me about what it's seen.

2715
02:43:21.399 --> 02:43:22.120
Go ahead, Nassan.

2716
02:43:22.799 --> 02:43:24.479
It has a face that is evil.

2717
02:43:25.440 --> 02:43:28.479
And when it saw me, it uttered a strange cry

2718
02:43:28.559 --> 02:43:33.639
and bounded away, sometimes leaping, sometimes running with great strides.

2719
02:43:34.639 --> 02:43:37.840
It was dusk, and after a moment I lost sight

2720
02:43:37.920 --> 02:43:40.520
of it in this snow. Where were you with the

2721
02:43:40.760 --> 02:43:46.239
French expedition? It was at nineteen thousand feet a show Maluma.

2722
02:43:47.040 --> 02:43:47.920
How far were you from it?

2723
02:43:49.200 --> 02:43:53.319
Thirty feet perhaps thirty five? You're sure it wasn't an ape?

2724
02:43:53.600 --> 02:43:56.639
I am sure there is no ape in Imaria to

2725
02:43:56.840 --> 02:44:00.280
make such a track for about bears two I have

2726
02:44:00.399 --> 02:44:04.440
been asked. But does a bear walk always upon its

2727
02:44:04.520 --> 02:44:05.120
hind legs?

2728
02:44:06.840 --> 02:44:07.040
Wow?

2729
02:44:07.159 --> 02:44:12.520
That's enough for me, Alan, Yeah, he'll do. If you

2730
02:44:12.559 --> 02:44:14.200
want the job. In the song, you're hired.

2731
02:44:16.360 --> 02:44:21.120
You are going to try to capture a Yetty. Yes

2732
02:44:21.840 --> 02:44:25.680
it will be a difficult thing, but I will serve with.

2733
02:44:25.719 --> 02:44:43.200
You Yetty wild man network Kung me abominable snowman. That's

2734
02:44:43.239 --> 02:44:46.360
the name the natives had for the things, and Alan Ferris,

2735
02:44:46.479 --> 02:44:48.399
Frank Davis and I were going to try to get one.

2736
02:44:49.479 --> 02:44:52.520
We've all done some climbing, but climbing was secondary here.

2737
02:44:53.520 --> 02:44:56.280
Expeditions since the beginning of the twentieth century had heard

2738
02:44:56.319 --> 02:45:00.319
of the abominable snowmen, observed their tracks, and one or

2739
02:45:00.360 --> 02:45:05.399
two white men claim to have seen them great ape, bear, monkey,

2740
02:45:06.280 --> 02:45:10.760
wild men. We didn't know, but we were going to

2741
02:45:10.840 --> 02:45:18.239
find out. Four weeks later, we were in the Wrong

2742
02:45:18.319 --> 02:45:21.200
Book Valley for our interview at the monastery with a lama.

2743
02:45:22.079 --> 02:45:24.520
The journey from our base had been uneventful. The weather

2744
02:45:24.639 --> 02:45:27.719
was good and our spirits were high. From the lama's

2745
02:45:27.760 --> 02:45:30.479
window we could see the great Peak of Everest in

2746
02:45:30.559 --> 02:45:31.079
the distance.

2747
02:45:34.079 --> 02:45:37.600
Why, gentlemen, do you desire to capture metal Kung.

2748
02:45:38.040 --> 02:45:40.280
Because we believe it will be an invaluable aid in

2749
02:45:40.319 --> 02:45:43.159
our prehistoric research, that is, if these things are in

2750
02:45:43.319 --> 02:45:44.520
any way human.

2751
02:45:44.719 --> 02:45:48.760
And for this reason, then you have formed the expedition. Yes,

2752
02:45:50.239 --> 02:45:54.399
you are all familiar with climbing, Yes we are. You

2753
02:45:54.440 --> 02:45:59.719
would need to be the YETI move at high places dangerous,

2754
02:46:00.479 --> 02:46:04.680
so my people tell me. Also the monsoons are arriving

2755
02:46:04.920 --> 02:46:05.799
in a short time.

2756
02:46:06.079 --> 02:46:09.200
I understand that. Then do we have your permission to

2757
02:46:09.280 --> 02:46:11.280
investigate in the valet and beyond?

2758
02:46:11.799 --> 02:46:12.319
You have my.

2759
02:46:12.360 --> 02:46:13.840
Permission now I appreciate it.

2760
02:46:14.000 --> 02:46:17.799
There is one point, however, I must request that no

2761
02:46:18.079 --> 02:46:21.559
wild animal or being in this valley be shocked.

2762
02:46:22.520 --> 02:46:26.280
Our religion does not allow it. Well respect your wishes, sir.

2763
02:46:27.280 --> 02:46:29.719
Now may I ask you one more thing? Of course,

2764
02:46:29.920 --> 02:46:33.840
my son, do you believe in the existence of matter?

2765
02:46:33.920 --> 02:46:34.239
Kangli?

2766
02:46:36.200 --> 02:46:39.680
I myself have never seen them, but I know that

2767
02:46:39.799 --> 02:46:43.680
they live here above the value on the Goddess Mother

2768
02:46:43.879 --> 02:46:47.600
of the world. It is also true that at least

2769
02:46:47.799 --> 02:46:52.280
five and possibly more inhabit the upper Wrong Book and

2770
02:46:52.479 --> 02:46:53.280
its glaciers.

2771
02:46:54.600 --> 02:46:54.879
Thank you?

2772
02:46:56.000 --> 02:46:57.200
Do you have portons?

2773
02:46:57.639 --> 02:46:59.760
Our guide in Masan is hiring them now.

2774
02:47:00.120 --> 02:47:03.959
Yeah, I trust that he meets with good fortune.

2775
02:47:11.000 --> 02:47:14.319
The old man with great dignity about slightly to us,

2776
02:47:14.360 --> 02:47:15.239
and we were dismissed.

2777
02:47:16.239 --> 02:47:18.079
But I thought I saw the shadow.

2778
02:47:17.760 --> 02:47:19.760
Of a smile on his lips as he turned away.

2779
02:47:21.079 --> 02:47:24.399
And it wasn't long before I found out why. Nasang

2780
02:47:24.520 --> 02:47:26.840
returned to us in our quarters, and his face warned

2781
02:47:26.879 --> 02:47:27.600
of bad news.

2782
02:47:27.879 --> 02:47:31.639
So I am unable to hire any porters why not.

2783
02:47:32.200 --> 02:47:34.120
They know the purpose of the expedition.

2784
02:47:34.879 --> 02:47:35.799
They will not go.

2785
02:47:36.440 --> 02:47:40.319
Why they are afraid the snowmen.

2786
02:47:40.639 --> 02:47:44.520
Yes, they live in peace with them. They wish no trouble.

2787
02:47:45.200 --> 02:47:46.000
They are afraid.

2788
02:47:47.399 --> 02:47:50.319
Well, all right, it'll be rough, but we can't waste

2789
02:47:50.360 --> 02:47:52.440
time talking them into it. The monsoons will be coming

2790
02:47:52.479 --> 02:47:55.159
in a couple of weeks. It's not the same as climbing.

2791
02:47:55.239 --> 02:47:57.760
Everest will travel light. Just the four of us, set

2792
02:47:57.799 --> 02:48:02.680
up a base and start hunting, all right with fellows. Yeah, sure, Nassan, I.

2793
02:48:02.719 --> 02:48:03.360
Will go with you.

2794
02:48:04.159 --> 02:48:05.040
I am not afraid.

2795
02:48:05.239 --> 02:48:05.440
God.

2796
02:48:06.239 --> 02:48:10.799
Well, let's take a look at the map. I will

2797
02:48:10.840 --> 02:48:14.239
each carry a capacity load. We should be able to

2798
02:48:14.319 --> 02:48:18.319
make this point below the glacier in two days. That's

2799
02:48:18.399 --> 02:48:22.879
sixteen thousand feet. And if are abominable snowmen are in

2800
02:48:22.959 --> 02:48:25.239
the vicinity, we've got two weeks.

2801
02:48:25.040 --> 02:48:27.319
To find them when we start tomorrow.

2802
02:48:27.719 --> 02:48:27.920
Good.

2803
02:48:28.920 --> 02:48:32.799
Well, that's it, that's right.

2804
02:48:33.280 --> 02:48:35.239
One thing, or what do the natives mean when they

2805
02:48:35.239 --> 02:48:36.760
say they don't want any trouble with the things?

2806
02:48:37.040 --> 02:48:37.600
Superstition?

2807
02:48:37.680 --> 02:48:38.040
Probably?

2808
02:48:38.360 --> 02:48:42.319
Oh no, sir, it is not superstition. It is because

2809
02:48:42.360 --> 02:48:46.520
the Yetti are cannibals. That is why reporters are afraid.

2810
02:49:01.520 --> 02:49:03.840
The weather turned ugly that day we left the village.

2811
02:49:04.360 --> 02:49:06.760
A cold Tibetan wind blew down from the west, and

2812
02:49:06.840 --> 02:49:08.879
with our heavy packs, it took us much longer than

2813
02:49:08.879 --> 02:49:10.799
we'd thought to arrive at the point just below the

2814
02:49:10.840 --> 02:49:13.559
Wrong Book Glacier. We set up a camp and made

2815
02:49:13.559 --> 02:49:17.760
ourselves as comfortable as we could. The next morning wasn't

2816
02:49:17.799 --> 02:49:21.079
so bad. There was a heavy overcast, a promise of snow,

2817
02:49:21.959 --> 02:49:24.399
and the peak of Everest looming over us was shrouded

2818
02:49:24.440 --> 02:49:27.079
in clouds. The four of us sat in the tent,

2819
02:49:27.159 --> 02:49:29.120
looking at our charts and drinking hot tea.

2820
02:49:30.840 --> 02:49:33.040
I figured it'd be easiest if we started at the

2821
02:49:33.040 --> 02:49:35.399
East Glacier. It's only about three miles from here, and

2822
02:49:35.399 --> 02:49:37.040
where the weather is stinking as it is, we won't

2823
02:49:37.079 --> 02:49:39.639
run too much of a risk. How do you think, boy, Well, that.

2824
02:49:39.680 --> 02:49:42.239
Sounds all right. What do you say we split up,

2825
02:49:47.000 --> 02:49:49.079
you and Na sung Alan and me.

2826
02:49:50.040 --> 02:49:52.559
We'll work up on either side of the ridge here,

2827
02:49:53.360 --> 02:49:56.680
and if we spot any tracks, fire two shots. Now

2828
02:49:56.760 --> 02:49:59.639
the big thing, though, No matter what, don't shoot at

2829
02:49:59.639 --> 02:50:03.200
the thing if you do see it. Okay, okay, all right.

2830
02:50:04.120 --> 02:50:06.399
If we lose touch with each other, we'll meet back here.

2831
02:50:06.440 --> 02:50:06.799
At five.

2832
02:50:08.879 --> 02:50:23.760
All right, let's get going. We'd left the base at

2833
02:50:23.840 --> 02:50:27.159
six that morning, and the going was rough. Alan was

2834
02:50:27.200 --> 02:50:29.000
pretty well shot by the time we got to the

2835
02:50:29.159 --> 02:50:32.719
seventeen thousand foot mark. He was having a tough time breathing,

2836
02:50:33.559 --> 02:50:35.920
and the wind had come up again, and with it

2837
02:50:36.040 --> 02:50:39.399
a fine, powdery snow that blinded choked us.

2838
02:50:44.879 --> 02:50:50.200
Hey, I gotta take five all right, yeah, I'm move

2839
02:50:50.200 --> 02:50:51.920
over here. It might cut some of the wind.

2840
02:50:54.159 --> 02:50:57.920
Oh oh, oh, oh.

2841
02:50:57.920 --> 02:50:58.360
That's better.

2842
02:51:00.680 --> 02:51:02.200
We might as well start back for the bass. We

2843
02:51:02.239 --> 02:51:03.879
couldn't see anything in this anyhow.

2844
02:51:04.079 --> 02:51:08.079
You know right now, I don't care whether we're doing that.

2845
02:51:08.840 --> 02:51:11.879
This is good weather, waiting until the monsoon start.

2846
02:51:12.680 --> 02:51:13.159
Not me.

2847
02:51:14.639 --> 02:51:18.760
Oh cool, I have been so cool in all my life.

2848
02:51:33.399 --> 02:51:35.680
We stayed in the half shelter of an overhang for

2849
02:51:35.840 --> 02:51:38.559
ten minutes, and the wind was quieter and the snow

2850
02:51:38.600 --> 02:51:41.559
at letter. I noticed that the tracks we'd made coming

2851
02:51:41.600 --> 02:51:44.200
into the shelter were gone now, but we didn't have

2852
02:51:44.239 --> 02:51:45.639
any worry finding our way back.

2853
02:51:46.360 --> 02:51:46.879
I figured that.

2854
02:51:46.920 --> 02:51:49.200
Frank and Nassang had met pretty much the same thing

2855
02:51:49.280 --> 02:51:50.920
on their side of the ridge, and we'd meet them

2856
02:51:50.920 --> 02:51:51.399
at the base.

2857
02:51:52.440 --> 02:51:55.079
So Alan and I picked ourselves up and started off.

2858
02:51:58.920 --> 02:52:01.200
Boy, I thought I was in pretty good shape. But

2859
02:52:01.840 --> 02:52:04.120
up here, boy, I'm nothing.

2860
02:52:06.120 --> 02:52:07.079
Well, I'm tired again.

2861
02:52:07.399 --> 02:52:11.559
We'll just take it easy going down. You haven't got frostbined,

2862
02:52:11.600 --> 02:52:11.760
have you?

2863
02:52:12.159 --> 02:52:12.200
No?

2864
02:52:13.079 --> 02:52:13.680
No, not yet.

2865
02:52:13.719 --> 02:52:15.959
But what.

2866
02:52:17.440 --> 02:52:18.120
The left there?

2867
02:52:22.559 --> 02:52:28.479
Yeah, they're not our tracks, not unless you took your

2868
02:52:28.520 --> 02:52:29.600
boots off on the way up.

2869
02:52:31.719 --> 02:52:35.799
Must have just passed by, must have seen us.

2870
02:52:36.760 --> 02:52:43.360
Yeah, come on, we were looking at a set of tracks,

2871
02:52:43.479 --> 02:52:46.920
newly made in the fresh snow, and they'd passed so

2872
02:52:47.120 --> 02:52:49.319
close to our shoulder that the thing must have known

2873
02:52:49.360 --> 02:52:52.959
we were there. They weren't the tracks of a bear

2874
02:52:53.520 --> 02:52:57.079
or an ape, but more like a splay footed, naked foot,

2875
02:52:58.680 --> 02:53:00.760
the tracks of the Abomina snowmen.

2876
02:53:11.639 --> 02:53:14.200
We will return to escape in just a moment, but first,

2877
02:53:14.760 --> 02:53:17.680
thirty million school children make their way back to class

2878
02:53:17.760 --> 02:53:20.280
this year. There are just ten million too many for

2879
02:53:20.440 --> 02:53:26.200
existing school facilities. Contact Better Schools to West forty fifth Street,

2880
02:53:26.559 --> 02:53:30.040
New York, nineteen for information on ending this menace to

2881
02:53:30.079 --> 02:53:35.879
America's educational standards. And now back to escape.

2882
02:53:57.239 --> 02:54:00.000
We began to follow the tracks, and for a while,

2883
02:54:00.280 --> 02:54:03.000
perhaps one hundred and fifty yards, it was easy. And

2884
02:54:03.120 --> 02:54:05.200
then the thing made a left wood traverse down a

2885
02:54:05.239 --> 02:54:08.479
deep slope. We could see the prince clearly, angling with

2886
02:54:08.600 --> 02:54:11.719
a side step, as share footed as a mountain goat,

2887
02:54:12.639 --> 02:54:15.719
except that it was walking on two lages.

2888
02:54:16.479 --> 02:54:20.879
His way walk Take it easy, I'll get any staper.

2889
02:54:21.760 --> 02:54:23.360
What that thinks your cat climb?

2890
02:54:24.079 --> 02:54:30.399
Hold up all, I think, and he dropped out of

2891
02:54:30.479 --> 02:54:33.239
sight over the lip of the crevasse. We went roped together.

2892
02:54:34.079 --> 02:54:36.079
I got as close as I dared to the edge.

2893
02:54:36.639 --> 02:54:40.399
The low snow crumbled away from my outstretched body, and

2894
02:54:40.520 --> 02:54:43.200
I looked down into the blue black darkness below, falling

2895
02:54:43.239 --> 02:54:44.159
away into nothingness.

2896
02:54:45.319 --> 02:54:47.040
He was gone, finished.

2897
02:54:48.319 --> 02:54:50.120
All I could think of was the noise he'd made

2898
02:54:50.159 --> 02:54:56.600
when he went over, Surprise, angry, then silence. The crevass

2899
02:54:56.680 --> 02:55:02.120
might have been five hundred feet The snow started to

2900
02:55:02.159 --> 02:55:06.879
fall again, big flakes this time, and wet. I stood

2901
02:55:06.959 --> 02:55:09.840
up and across the gap, twenty feet away. I saw

2902
02:55:09.879 --> 02:55:13.399
the tracks of the thing continuing on and away until

2903
02:55:13.440 --> 02:55:15.920
they became lost in the blank whiteness of the glacier.

2904
02:55:16.879 --> 02:55:19.760
It had jumped and landed still upright on the opposite side.

2905
02:55:22.120 --> 02:55:25.280
I went back to the base, and an hour later

2906
02:55:25.399 --> 02:55:29.479
Frank and the Song returned. I told them, and we

2907
02:55:29.600 --> 02:55:30.879
were quiet for a long time.

2908
02:55:32.680 --> 02:55:36.600
Then all, are we going on again tomorrow?

2909
02:55:37.520 --> 02:55:37.840
Why not?

2910
02:55:38.799 --> 02:55:40.520
I just wanted to We should go back.

2911
02:55:41.040 --> 02:55:42.479
It is an omen, I tell you.

2912
02:55:42.559 --> 02:55:44.479
It was going too fast. He didn't have a chance

2913
02:55:44.520 --> 02:55:46.520
to see the cravas. That's not an omen. It's bad

2914
02:55:46.680 --> 02:55:47.719
sense made to Kung.

2915
02:55:47.840 --> 02:55:48.639
We cannot be got.

2916
02:55:48.799 --> 02:55:49.639
We'll catch him up.

2917
02:55:49.639 --> 02:55:51.159
But there are only three of us. If we had

2918
02:55:51.159 --> 02:55:52.000
a few more men.

2919
02:55:51.920 --> 02:55:53.719
I tell you, the thing was so close that if

2920
02:55:53.760 --> 02:55:55.239
we'd looked up at the right time, we'd have seen it.

2921
02:55:55.440 --> 02:55:56.920
You think I'm going to give up now? Next time

2922
02:55:56.959 --> 02:55:57.399
we'll get it.

2923
02:55:59.120 --> 02:56:02.360
There was not chance to get Alan out. No, you

2924
02:56:02.440 --> 02:56:03.200
think if we went back.

2925
02:56:03.319 --> 02:56:05.639
Listen, you think I don't want to. He's gone. I tried,

2926
02:56:05.680 --> 02:56:06.239
but he's gone.

2927
02:56:06.280 --> 02:56:10.360
Okay, okay, I wish that winded letter.

2928
02:56:12.200 --> 02:56:16.319
Maybe by morning we'll try again tomorrow.

2929
02:56:29.920 --> 02:56:34.120
It was cold that night, and somehow colder because Alan

2930
02:56:34.319 --> 02:56:37.479
was gone. I heard Frank tossing around, and I knew

2931
02:56:37.520 --> 02:56:41.319
he was thinking about a body, broken and lonely, lost

2932
02:56:41.479 --> 02:56:46.040
somewhere in a deep and dark place. In the morning,

2933
02:56:46.120 --> 02:56:48.440
the three of us packed our gear, camera, food, and

2934
02:56:48.719 --> 02:56:52.319
there was a light pack. We started up again, this

2935
02:56:52.559 --> 02:56:56.920
time to a crest above the ridge, it was tougher

2936
02:56:56.959 --> 02:56:59.520
than it looked, and we weren't even halfway up before we.

2937
02:57:00.159 --> 02:57:02.920
Had to rest. As a look to the west, I

2938
02:57:02.959 --> 02:57:04.000
saw clouds.

2939
02:57:03.639 --> 02:57:09.040
Boiling up, not white but somber, threatening, and below the

2940
02:57:09.200 --> 02:57:11.680
valley looked grim, ugly gray.

2941
02:57:13.040 --> 02:57:17.000
And then the sun was gone, and we kept on

2942
02:57:17.159 --> 02:57:20.840
going up. And then I had a strange feeling. And

2943
02:57:20.920 --> 02:57:23.000
there's nothing I could see, nothing I could hear, only

2944
02:57:23.079 --> 02:57:32.000
a sensation of being watched followed. Wait a minute, see something? No,

2945
02:57:34.280 --> 02:57:37.799
I have filled it to sade something following us.

2946
02:57:38.079 --> 02:57:41.239
Yes, it is me to cull me. How do you

2947
02:57:41.360 --> 02:57:44.959
know it came to be nothing else? At the sight?

2948
02:57:45.680 --> 02:57:47.920
There is nothing else that there is.

2949
02:57:48.520 --> 02:57:52.440
Maybe it's curious. No, don't turn a roughing. Listen.

2950
02:57:53.600 --> 02:57:56.479
When we got up to the crest, you two flopped down.

2951
02:57:56.600 --> 02:57:59.120
Stay in side of the slope here, what are you

2952
02:57:59.200 --> 02:58:01.520
gonna do? Move around the hump and watch. If it

2953
02:58:01.639 --> 02:58:03.520
thinks we're all together, it may come close enough to

2954
02:58:03.520 --> 02:58:03.920
give us a.

2955
02:58:03.959 --> 02:58:04.520
Chance to get it.

2956
02:58:05.959 --> 02:58:06.920
You better watch a step.

2957
02:58:08.040 --> 02:58:08.799
It looks nasty.

2958
02:58:09.000 --> 02:58:10.680
I will now come on.

2959
02:58:14.920 --> 02:58:16.879
It took us another fifteen minutes to get up to

2960
02:58:16.920 --> 02:58:19.440
the crest, and then Frank and Nassang hunched down to rest.

2961
02:58:20.479 --> 02:58:22.760
They were in clear view of the slope we just descended.

2962
02:58:23.920 --> 02:58:25.840
I moved back out of sight and made my way

2963
02:58:25.879 --> 02:58:28.000
toward the hump, which backed a long shelf on the

2964
02:58:28.040 --> 02:58:28.920
north side of the crest.

2965
02:58:29.799 --> 02:58:31.479
In a couple of minutes I lost sight of them

2966
02:58:32.000 --> 02:58:32.799
and of the slope.

2967
02:58:33.799 --> 02:58:36.000
The wind had increased and the clouds had spread. No

2968
02:58:36.159 --> 02:58:39.440
who become an iron gray canopy over the mountain. It

2969
02:58:39.600 --> 02:58:40.719
was getting colder again.

2970
02:58:42.239 --> 02:58:43.520
I don't think. It took over five.

2971
02:58:43.399 --> 02:58:46.159
Minutes to reach my lookout point, and when I did,

2972
02:58:46.200 --> 02:58:48.239
I had a perfect view of the ground we'd covered.

2973
02:58:50.319 --> 02:58:53.920
There was nothing there. The men were out of sight,

2974
02:58:55.399 --> 02:58:59.280
and I waited a minute two.

2975
02:59:00.879 --> 02:59:01.799
There was nothing.

2976
02:59:03.120 --> 02:59:13.319
Until it came, carried on the wind to cry, and

2977
02:59:13.559 --> 02:59:16.479
then shots. I scrambled back to where I left them,

2978
02:59:17.200 --> 02:59:22.280
and when I got there. When I got there, Frank

2979
02:59:22.479 --> 02:59:25.440
was lying on his back and I couldn't look at

2980
02:59:25.479 --> 02:59:28.200
what was left of his face. There were terrible, deep

2981
02:59:28.239 --> 02:59:32.840
rents in his clothing, and he was dead. The song

2982
02:59:32.959 --> 02:59:35.799
lay huddled a few feet beyond a gun in his hand.

2983
02:59:36.520 --> 02:59:39.079
So what is it?

2984
02:59:39.879 --> 02:59:47.760
But metter cuny. It came from behind us. Before I

2985
02:59:48.200 --> 02:59:57.319
could the good killed, and it sprang it to me.

2986
03:00:00.319 --> 03:00:04.319
It is strongside, Hugh, the strain of ten men.

2987
03:00:04.479 --> 03:00:06.680
All right, all reight, can you sit up.

2988
03:00:08.120 --> 03:00:09.120
My leg?

2989
03:00:09.920 --> 03:00:16.040
It is SKay to be my leg broken. I shut

2990
03:00:16.239 --> 03:00:21.520
at it, but I missed it jumped away and who's gone.

2991
03:00:21.680 --> 03:00:24.600
Okay, we'll have to figure out a way to get

2992
03:00:24.639 --> 03:00:25.079
you done.

2993
03:00:27.680 --> 03:00:29.920
We were four hours from camp, and with the song

2994
03:00:30.040 --> 03:00:33.920
practically helpless, it could well be four days or never.

2995
03:00:35.000 --> 03:00:37.200
I buried Frank where he was lying, then began to

2996
03:00:37.280 --> 03:00:40.680
work down the slope. The song was in great pain.

2997
03:00:40.799 --> 03:00:43.920
He half slid and crawled as best he could. That

2998
03:00:44.040 --> 03:00:45.799
part of it wasn't too bad. Then we were at

2999
03:00:45.799 --> 03:00:48.239
the bottom and there was a ledge to climb. It

3000
03:00:48.360 --> 03:00:50.840
took well over two hours to do that, and we

3001
03:00:51.000 --> 03:00:53.399
still had three miles of difficult to rain to cover.

3002
03:00:54.479 --> 03:00:56.200
The stops became more frequent.

3003
03:00:57.840 --> 03:01:04.120
Go back, No, my leggi'es fersen. There is no feeling anymore.

3004
03:01:04.479 --> 03:01:06.760
I shall not leave much longer.

3005
03:01:07.120 --> 03:01:09.719
Therefore, after the rest, you'll be able to go.

3006
03:01:09.840 --> 03:01:13.920
On Soonday night comes, if we are both caught here,

3007
03:01:14.479 --> 03:01:17.479
we both die, there will be snow.

3008
03:01:17.440 --> 03:01:18.040
Much snow.

3009
03:01:19.000 --> 03:01:19.360
Leave me.

3010
03:01:19.639 --> 03:01:20.760
No, we're going back together.

3011
03:01:21.399 --> 03:01:26.559
Please let me sleep. Let me sleep here. I cannot

3012
03:01:26.639 --> 03:01:26.840
go on.

3013
03:01:27.120 --> 03:01:28.559
You've got tons no.

3014
03:01:30.360 --> 03:01:30.520
More.

3015
03:01:30.760 --> 03:01:32.520
The ridge is only about a half mile from there.

3016
03:01:32.600 --> 03:01:40.799
It won't be too bad. No, no, come on, come on,

3017
03:01:40.879 --> 03:01:43.479
you're not going to spell all right, sir?

3018
03:01:45.840 --> 03:01:48.440
I turned, and for an instance I saw it outlined

3019
03:01:48.440 --> 03:01:53.200
against the snow, crouching of medium height. It was covered

3020
03:01:53.239 --> 03:01:57.399
with thick hair. The face was reddish and bare, a

3021
03:01:57.600 --> 03:02:00.760
semi human face. And it was not an ape.

3022
03:02:02.719 --> 03:02:04.600
Nothing made it from into sleep and was gone.

3023
03:02:04.680 --> 03:02:05.239
But I hit it.

3024
03:02:05.600 --> 03:02:06.399
I knew I hit it.

3025
03:02:07.920 --> 03:02:09.040
Was he did you kill it?

3026
03:02:09.200 --> 03:02:09.239
No?

3027
03:02:09.520 --> 03:02:10.079
I don't think so.

3028
03:02:10.239 --> 03:02:13.559
Then it will be back. It has tisted blood. You

3029
03:02:13.680 --> 03:02:14.280
must leave me.

3030
03:02:14.719 --> 03:02:18.040
Get up, Get up, Come up, let's go.

3031
03:02:26.200 --> 03:02:26.719
That song?

3032
03:02:27.639 --> 03:02:34.479
M very sorry, sad. Will you ask Hell to make

3033
03:02:34.559 --> 03:02:35.479
a prayer for me?

3034
03:02:35.959 --> 03:02:36.239
Sure?

3035
03:02:37.280 --> 03:02:37.479
Sure?

3036
03:02:37.520 --> 03:02:41.040
I well my song, but my pay to my wife

3037
03:02:41.120 --> 03:02:46.879
and dairy healing. Sorry, Sad, I uh.

3038
03:02:49.719 --> 03:02:50.159
That song?

3039
03:02:53.319 --> 03:03:17.239
That song, and the darkness came, and with its shadows

3040
03:03:17.319 --> 03:03:22.840
in the snow, every hillock mound became the thing, motionless

3041
03:03:23.000 --> 03:03:27.600
waiting in my mind. I kept seeing it, its long arms, powerful,

3042
03:03:28.479 --> 03:03:32.680
and the dreadful clause it must have possessed. I carried

3043
03:03:32.760 --> 03:03:34.559
my gun and my gloved hand, but I knew that

3044
03:03:34.600 --> 03:03:37.639
I couldn't fire it unless I was bare handed, and

3045
03:03:37.719 --> 03:03:41.280
that met my hand would freeze to the gun. And

3046
03:03:41.360 --> 03:03:49.920
then suddenly I felt myself slipping. It was a short incline,

3047
03:03:49.959 --> 03:03:52.520
but when I reached the bottom, the gun was gone.

3048
03:03:53.479 --> 03:03:54.079
I'd lost it.

3049
03:03:56.200 --> 03:03:56.920
I've got to find it.

3050
03:03:57.760 --> 03:03:58.760
I've got to find.

3051
03:04:01.200 --> 03:04:02.840
And I saw a glitter of metal in the snow

3052
03:04:02.959 --> 03:04:06.639
ten feet away, and at the same time, above me,

3053
03:04:06.719 --> 03:04:08.760
at the top of the bank, the thing.

3054
03:04:09.799 --> 03:04:12.159
It stood swaying a little, looking down at me.

3055
03:04:14.760 --> 03:04:19.440
I moved slowly, slowly, inch my way toward the gun,

3056
03:04:21.280 --> 03:04:23.399
and as I drew closer, I kept my eyes looking up,

3057
03:04:24.200 --> 03:04:27.000
but it didn't move, only stared down at me. And

3058
03:04:27.120 --> 03:04:30.719
I thought I saw its little eyes glittering, and I thought,

3059
03:04:31.479 --> 03:04:35.079
if the gun's frozen. Now, if it's frozen, it doesn't fire.

3060
03:04:36.559 --> 03:04:38.399
And I was nearer to it, near enough to tick

3061
03:04:38.440 --> 03:04:39.040
off my glove.

3062
03:04:40.200 --> 03:04:42.040
But that moment in which i'd have to bend to

3063
03:04:42.120 --> 03:04:44.879
pick it up, that's when it would leap down at me,

3064
03:04:45.200 --> 03:04:46.959
tear my throat out terror.

3065
03:04:47.000 --> 03:04:50.120
And I had the gun, and I pulled the ticker.

3066
03:04:58.440 --> 03:04:59.920
And lay there.

3067
03:05:00.079 --> 03:05:09.600
Yeah, strange, terrifying. It's blood staining the snow It looked

3068
03:05:09.639 --> 03:05:17.600
at me, looked at me until the sound died away.

3069
03:05:23.280 --> 03:05:27.760
It was dead, but the eyes kept on staring.

3070
03:05:32.760 --> 03:05:34.799
It must have been the shots that loosened the snow

3071
03:05:34.840 --> 03:05:35.840
and ice on the ridge above.

3072
03:05:36.520 --> 03:05:43.239
I heard the sound and I ran rahm.

3073
03:05:53.559 --> 03:05:56.680
It passed me and swept on down toward the valley,

3074
03:05:57.639 --> 03:05:59.319
the thunder of it dying in the distance.

3075
03:06:01.840 --> 03:06:08.920
And when I went back, there was nothing there. It

3076
03:06:09.120 --> 03:06:13.120
was buried somewhere under tons of snow.

3077
03:06:17.159 --> 03:06:19.399
I made my way back to the Wrong Book village.

3078
03:06:20.760 --> 03:06:25.799
I don't remember how. I didn't remember anything for two

3079
03:06:25.879 --> 03:06:33.799
weeks after. But I'm alive and I'm not going back

3080
03:06:33.879 --> 03:06:41.600
there again. That's all I know. I want to know

3081
03:06:43.920 --> 03:06:45.760
about the Abominable snow Men.

3082
03:07:00.239 --> 03:07:04.520
Escape has brought you The Abominable Snowman, written and directed

3083
03:07:04.639 --> 03:07:09.799
by Anthony Ellis, starring William conrad Is Lane. Featured in

3084
03:07:09.879 --> 03:07:13.719
the cast were Anthony Barrett, high have Herbach, Jack Krushian,

3085
03:07:14.079 --> 03:07:18.440
and Edgar Barrier. The special music for Escape was composed

3086
03:07:18.479 --> 03:07:20.600
and conducted by Leith Stevens.

3087
03:07:22.000 --> 03:07:32.799
Next week, Well, my dear, the hour is getting late,

3088
03:07:32.959 --> 03:07:39.600
and the chill in the air is well, it's gotten

3089
03:07:39.719 --> 03:07:45.440
more intense, I suppose, Ah, No matter more wood on

3090
03:07:45.559 --> 03:07:50.719
the fire, more hot in your cup. I'm starting to

3091
03:07:50.879 --> 03:07:59.280
feel even more Julie. Is that a term, Julie, Well

3092
03:08:00.479 --> 03:08:11.360
it is now. I haven't felt this jovial since all Saints. Usually.

3093
03:08:11.559 --> 03:08:15.680
I feel like a kind of cold canvas.

3094
03:08:17.760 --> 03:08:20.799
Another tale, well calculated to keep you in.

3095
03:08:23.520 --> 03:08:30.920
Suspense in just a Moment's cold canvas, written for Suspence

3096
03:08:31.040 --> 03:08:43.719
by Walter Black. Yeah, oh bad, Come in, sir.

3097
03:08:44.479 --> 03:08:46.440
I thought i'd better check with you before I went out.

3098
03:08:46.600 --> 03:08:51.479
Fine, fine, Oh the big day, isn't it?

3099
03:08:51.840 --> 03:08:52.200
Sure is?

3100
03:08:52.719 --> 03:08:54.920
I remember my first day in the field. I was

3101
03:08:55.000 --> 03:08:57.040
really champing at the bit, couldn't wait to get out

3102
03:08:57.079 --> 03:09:00.920
there and sell all those prospects. What's on the agenda?

3103
03:09:01.120 --> 03:09:03.280
Well, I thought, maybe I just get out and knock

3104
03:09:03.360 --> 03:09:03.959
on some doors.

3105
03:09:04.040 --> 03:09:04.680
Good good.

3106
03:09:05.239 --> 03:09:07.280
A lot of men in this business near at cold canvassing,

3107
03:09:07.319 --> 03:09:09.239
but not me. But you can sell a lot of

3108
03:09:09.280 --> 03:09:12.799
insurance just by going around knocking on doors. Just remember

3109
03:09:12.840 --> 03:09:16.120
one thing, don't be discouraged. Don't ever give up.

3110
03:09:29.959 --> 03:09:31.840
Well I get thrown out of here, it'll probably be

3111
03:09:31.920 --> 03:09:37.399
bare Butler. Even the door shines round rich Yes, Oh,

3112
03:09:37.520 --> 03:09:41.040
good afternoon, madam. Are you the mistress of this beautiful establishment?

3113
03:09:41.360 --> 03:09:43.799
Aren't you a little fancy. I thought the praise was

3114
03:09:44.040 --> 03:09:44.719
lady of the house.

3115
03:09:44.760 --> 03:09:47.040
Oh yes, ma'am, it is usually. But someone as attractive

3116
03:09:47.079 --> 03:09:49.319
as you with such a magnificent home deserves nothing but

3117
03:09:49.440 --> 03:09:49.719
the best.

3118
03:09:50.239 --> 03:09:51.120
Whatever you're selling.

3119
03:09:51.200 --> 03:09:53.479
You're probably very successful at it, aren't.

3120
03:09:53.239 --> 03:09:55.360
You, well, ma'am? If I am, it's only because I'm

3121
03:09:55.440 --> 03:09:58.079
lucky enough to have the right kind of client. Client

3122
03:09:58.680 --> 03:10:01.399
for what piece of mind and security? Madam?

3123
03:10:01.799 --> 03:10:03.280
Yes, I have not heard before.

3124
03:10:03.440 --> 03:10:04.000
This is new.

3125
03:10:04.680 --> 03:10:06.799
All right, mister bones, you've piqued my interest.

3126
03:10:07.239 --> 03:10:10.319
Exactly what little gadget in that shiny new briefcase of

3127
03:10:10.399 --> 03:10:13.159
yours is going to provide me with peace of mind

3128
03:10:13.280 --> 03:10:13.959
and security?

3129
03:10:14.719 --> 03:10:17.600
Life insurance man, you should have known. Oh no, please, ma'am,

3130
03:10:17.680 --> 03:10:20.000
don't be too hasty. Let me ask you something.

3131
03:10:20.520 --> 03:10:24.879
When mister the name is Fouchet, f ouc h.

3132
03:10:25.000 --> 03:10:28.840
E oh, thank you. Well, when mister Fouchet brought you

3133
03:10:29.000 --> 03:10:31.520
this beautiful home, he wasn't just buying lumber and bricks,

3134
03:10:31.559 --> 03:10:34.280
He was also buying shelter and comfort. And when he

3135
03:10:34.319 --> 03:10:37.319
bought your television said he was buying entertainment and pleasure.

3136
03:10:37.440 --> 03:10:38.879
Have you watched television lakers?

3137
03:10:39.200 --> 03:10:41.520
Well, but his intent was to provide pleasure. And now

3138
03:10:41.600 --> 03:10:45.319
wasn't that missus Fouchet so so? A good provider doesn't

3139
03:10:45.440 --> 03:10:48.079
just buy life insurance. He buys peace of mind for

3140
03:10:48.239 --> 03:10:51.840
himself and security for you. I mean, in case anything

3141
03:10:51.879 --> 03:10:52.680
should happen to him.

3142
03:10:53.159 --> 03:10:58.159
Your elliptical phrasing is so comforting. You mean if he dies, well.

3143
03:10:58.239 --> 03:10:59.920
Yes, ma'am he's only forty one.

3144
03:11:00.520 --> 03:11:03.920
Well, but can he guarantee how long he's going to live? No, ma'am,

3145
03:11:04.040 --> 03:11:06.760
no one can guarantee that. But I can guarantee that,

3146
03:11:06.840 --> 03:11:09.799
no matter what happens, whether he lives or dies, his

3147
03:11:10.079 --> 03:11:13.239
and your future will be provided for life insurance.

3148
03:11:13.280 --> 03:11:13.440
Ma'am.

3149
03:11:13.479 --> 03:11:16.360
It's the only answer, you know. We have an old

3150
03:11:16.399 --> 03:11:20.600
saying in our business, someone always pays for life insurance,

3151
03:11:20.920 --> 03:11:21.840
whether it's bought or not.

3152
03:11:22.600 --> 03:11:26.440
The breadwinner pays in premiums, or the widow in privation

3153
03:11:26.600 --> 03:11:29.319
and suffering. What's your name, uh Phillips?

3154
03:11:29.559 --> 03:11:33.079
Eugene J. Phillips. My friends call me Bud.

3155
03:11:33.399 --> 03:11:34.120
I'll bet they do.

3156
03:11:35.079 --> 03:11:37.319
Would you care for a cup of coffee, mister Eugene J.

3157
03:11:37.440 --> 03:11:39.200
Phillips, Well, if you're sure it's no trouble.

3158
03:11:39.360 --> 03:11:41.360
And I almost never go to trouble for other people

3159
03:11:41.440 --> 03:11:44.120
mister Phillips, come on in and meet my husband. You

3160
03:11:44.239 --> 03:11:47.200
can tell us both all about this peace of mind

3161
03:11:47.399 --> 03:11:48.120
and security.

3162
03:11:54.000 --> 03:11:57.079
Well that's pretty much the story, mister Fouchet. You're a

3163
03:11:57.159 --> 03:11:59.399
successful business man. I don't have to tell you the

3164
03:11:59.479 --> 03:12:00.760
value of sound investing.

3165
03:12:00.879 --> 03:12:03.760
Okay, okay, I get the pitch. If I dropped dead,

3166
03:12:03.799 --> 03:12:05.120
I'm worth one hundred thousand dollars.

3167
03:12:06.200 --> 03:12:07.319
You want me to buy this home.

3168
03:12:07.680 --> 03:12:09.440
I want you to do what you feel is right.

3169
03:12:10.680 --> 03:12:12.639
How much does a one hundred thousand costs?

3170
03:12:13.639 --> 03:12:16.959
Let me see now with a double indemnity in the

3171
03:12:17.000 --> 03:12:22.040
event of accidental death and fifty seven dollars annually out

3172
03:12:22.040 --> 03:12:23.799
of the question forgetting Well, that's all right, sir. I

3173
03:12:23.879 --> 03:12:26.399
mean what could you conveniently afford.

3174
03:12:26.399 --> 03:12:30.159
Maybe at the outside, maybe a thousand years?

3175
03:12:30.239 --> 03:12:30.639
All right?

3176
03:12:31.280 --> 03:12:33.319
When would it be convenient for you to be examined

3177
03:12:33.319 --> 03:12:33.879
by our doctor?

3178
03:12:33.959 --> 03:12:35.000
I haven't said yes yet.

3179
03:12:35.040 --> 03:12:37.440
Well no, sir, but you see, regardless of whether you

3180
03:12:37.520 --> 03:12:39.600
put a thousand or one hundred into the plan, you're

3181
03:12:39.639 --> 03:12:42.239
going to have to have a medical examination. So at

3182
03:12:42.319 --> 03:12:44.559
least we'll find out if you can qualify. It can't

3183
03:12:44.639 --> 03:12:47.319
hurt you to have a physical Where do I have

3184
03:12:47.399 --> 03:12:49.719
to go to get it. Oh, nowhere, sir. I'll have

3185
03:12:49.840 --> 03:12:53.040
the doctor here at the house house tomorrow evening around

3186
03:12:53.120 --> 03:12:53.559
eight thirty.

3187
03:12:53.680 --> 03:12:56.040
Can tomorrow make it Friday?

3188
03:12:56.120 --> 03:12:58.840
All right, sir, Friday at eight thirty. Now, if you'll

3189
03:12:58.959 --> 03:13:00.959
just sign this up application and give me.

3190
03:13:01.079 --> 03:13:03.680
I haven't definitely made up my mind yet. I don't

3191
03:13:03.760 --> 03:13:06.079
sign papers until I'm sure I'm ready to go ahead.

3192
03:13:06.680 --> 03:13:09.200
Well, this is just an application, sir. It doesn't bind

3193
03:13:09.319 --> 03:13:11.559
you or the company, which you see. We must have

3194
03:13:11.680 --> 03:13:13.239
it in order for you to be examined by the day.

3195
03:13:13.319 --> 03:13:15.639
I have no intention of giving you any money tonight.

3196
03:13:15.959 --> 03:13:18.319
You don't have to, mister Fouchet. You can pay the

3197
03:13:18.360 --> 03:13:21.959
first premium when the policy is issued. Now, what is

3198
03:13:22.040 --> 03:13:23.200
your exact date of birth?

3199
03:13:33.920 --> 03:13:36.959
In just a moment we will return for the second

3200
03:13:37.040 --> 03:13:37.399
act of.

3201
03:13:39.200 --> 03:13:39.920
Suspense.

3202
03:13:49.879 --> 03:13:52.159
Well, of course he kept throwing in arguments, but I

3203
03:13:52.319 --> 03:13:54.399
just said uh huh and yes, sir, and kept right

3204
03:13:54.520 --> 03:13:55.760
on filling out the application.

3205
03:13:56.879 --> 03:13:58.760
And when does he take his physical Friday night?

3206
03:13:59.159 --> 03:13:59.879
So you go through it?

3207
03:14:00.639 --> 03:14:03.760
Oh, why sure, Howard, don't get your hopes up too high.

3208
03:14:03.920 --> 03:14:06.079
Well, now, this is a business of the law of averages.

3209
03:14:06.120 --> 03:14:06.559
You told me.

3210
03:14:06.639 --> 03:14:09.079
If I can knock off one hundred thousand dollar case

3211
03:14:09.120 --> 03:14:10.840
every week. A lot of them are bound to stick,

3212
03:14:10.920 --> 03:14:11.280
aren't they?

3213
03:14:13.040 --> 03:14:14.600
And I wish i'd had you as spurred when I

3214
03:14:14.719 --> 03:14:17.799
was your age. Sure, Bud, you keep on knocking them off,

3215
03:14:17.840 --> 03:14:21.520
and you will be rolling in though, only don't concentrate

3216
03:14:21.559 --> 03:14:23.920
on the big ones. It's the fives and tens that

3217
03:14:24.000 --> 03:14:24.559
pay the freight.

3218
03:14:26.600 --> 03:14:31.319
Yeah, oh yes, yes, for you.

3219
03:14:31.479 --> 03:14:32.079
But a woman?

3220
03:14:32.239 --> 03:14:33.079
Oh thanks?

3221
03:14:33.959 --> 03:14:34.200
Hello?

3222
03:14:34.840 --> 03:14:35.719
Is that Phillips?

3223
03:14:35.799 --> 03:14:36.280
It sure is?

3224
03:14:37.920 --> 03:14:40.600
Oh yes, ma'am, about that insurance for my husband?

3225
03:14:40.639 --> 03:14:42.479
Oh well, there's nothing wrong, is that, ma'am? I mean

3226
03:14:42.559 --> 03:14:45.120
it's it's a fine policy, Missus Fouchet. Believe me, I

3227
03:14:45.159 --> 03:14:46.159
wouldn't have recommended it.

3228
03:14:46.719 --> 03:14:49.760
Upset mister Phillips. Mister Fouchet wants to go through with it.

3229
03:14:49.879 --> 03:14:52.360
But after you left last night we got to talking

3230
03:14:52.399 --> 03:14:52.760
about it.

3231
03:14:53.239 --> 03:14:55.760
He's figured out a way that his cooperation can pay

3232
03:14:55.840 --> 03:14:58.079
the premiums and they'll be tax deductible.

3233
03:14:58.399 --> 03:14:59.600
Oh yes, ma'am.

3234
03:15:00.000 --> 03:15:02.920
You know we've decided to increase the size of the policy.

3235
03:15:04.399 --> 03:15:07.159
Oh how much would it cost for two hundred and

3236
03:15:07.239 --> 03:15:10.479
fifty thousand dollars the least expensive kind of insurance?

3237
03:15:10.760 --> 03:15:15.159
Well, one second, missus Fouche, Howard, look up the rate

3238
03:15:15.200 --> 03:15:18.159
for two hundred and fifty thousand convertible term age forty one.

3239
03:15:18.360 --> 03:15:19.479
What you're kidding, I'm on the.

3240
03:15:19.520 --> 03:15:23.040
Level by the year, Missus Fouchet.

3241
03:15:23.200 --> 03:15:25.799
Oh no, mister Fouchet was very explicit on that point.

3242
03:15:26.079 --> 03:15:32.399
He said, monthly, yes, ma'am, monthly. Okay, let's see we've

3243
03:15:32.520 --> 03:15:35.280
doubled and down the two three hundred and fifty five,

3244
03:15:36.079 --> 03:15:39.120
three hundred and fifty five dollars per month, Missus Fouchet.

3245
03:15:39.319 --> 03:15:39.719
All right.

3246
03:15:40.159 --> 03:15:43.079
Oh, by the way, will this also provide for my

3247
03:15:43.200 --> 03:15:44.040
husband's retirement?

3248
03:15:44.120 --> 03:15:46.079
Oh well, no, don't worry about that. We'll convert it

3249
03:15:46.120 --> 03:15:47.840
at a later date to the right kind of plan.

3250
03:15:48.000 --> 03:15:50.920
But meanwhile, you'll be protected in the event of his premature.

3251
03:15:51.120 --> 03:15:53.879
Yes, yes, mister Phillips, all right, I'll put the check

3252
03:15:53.920 --> 03:15:54.639
in the nail tonight.

3253
03:15:55.000 --> 03:15:57.000
Make it out to the company, Missus Fouchet.

3254
03:15:57.200 --> 03:15:58.680
Yes, and i'll market to your attention.

3255
03:15:58.760 --> 03:16:01.799
Well, thank you very much. Oh, don't forget that the

3256
03:16:01.920 --> 03:16:03.120
doctor's coming on Friday.

3257
03:16:03.239 --> 03:16:08.159
I haven't forgotten. Good times hill, Oh.

3258
03:16:08.200 --> 03:16:12.159
One hundred and fifty thousand, Yeah, well, I'll be in

3259
03:16:12.280 --> 03:16:17.040
no good Three toad tree climbing South American sloth. What

3260
03:16:17.159 --> 03:16:17.760
did I tell you?

3261
03:16:17.920 --> 03:16:20.000
Hey, Howard, what is my first year commission?

3262
03:16:20.319 --> 03:16:23.959
Fifty five percent, you lucky boy, fifty five percent of

3263
03:16:24.079 --> 03:16:26.959
three fifty five And let me see, that's close to

3264
03:16:27.040 --> 03:16:29.680
two hundred a month, twenty four hundred bucks for.

3265
03:16:29.719 --> 03:16:32.520
One hour's work. Oh, I think I'm going to like

3266
03:16:32.600 --> 03:16:47.319
the insurance business. You wanted me, Howard, Yes, come on in, Buddons.

3267
03:16:48.719 --> 03:16:51.000
You see the paper this morning? Oh no, I didn't

3268
03:16:51.000 --> 03:16:53.200
even take time out for a real breakfast. My first

3269
03:16:53.239 --> 03:16:54.959
appointment was at eight fifteen, all the way on the

3270
03:16:55.000 --> 03:16:58.000
other side of town. Why here, huh?

3271
03:16:58.520 --> 03:17:01.159
What is it on the front page down at the

3272
03:17:01.239 --> 03:17:01.920
right hand side.

3273
03:17:03.040 --> 03:17:10.840
Oh, we're Howard. I don't see anything. Oh no, oh no,

3274
03:17:11.159 --> 03:17:11.840
it couldn't be.

3275
03:17:12.319 --> 03:17:14.680
Yes, that's what I said when I first read it.

3276
03:17:15.280 --> 03:17:16.040
Victor L.

3277
03:17:16.280 --> 03:17:20.799
Fouchet, forty one, a local contractor residing at eleven Edgewood Terrace,

3278
03:17:20.920 --> 03:17:22.559
was the victim of a hit and run accident early

3279
03:17:22.639 --> 03:17:28.000
this morning on South Wearing Boulevard. According to his wife,

3280
03:17:28.079 --> 03:17:30.799
Fouchet was on his way home from a business conference

3281
03:17:30.840 --> 03:17:34.079
when he was struck by the speeding car. He died

3282
03:17:34.079 --> 03:17:38.840
at Mercy Hospital without regaining consciousness. Police say no clues.

3283
03:17:39.200 --> 03:17:45.399
Early developments. One lousy monthly premium two thousand bucks right

3284
03:17:45.399 --> 03:17:49.840
out the window. Yes, I shouldn't say that, Howard, But

3285
03:17:50.719 --> 03:17:52.479
well I only met him that once, and after all,

3286
03:17:52.520 --> 03:17:56.200
it was my first big case. I suppose I ought

3287
03:17:56.200 --> 03:17:59.000
to be thinking of her, missus Fouchet.

3288
03:17:59.040 --> 03:18:01.520
I mean she is pretty rough on her.

3289
03:18:02.000 --> 03:18:04.760
Yes, well she'll have the money to console her. Half

3290
03:18:04.799 --> 03:18:07.360
a million dollars can be very soothing, that's right.

3291
03:18:07.799 --> 03:18:12.799
Double indemnity in case of accidental debt. Wow, listen, how

3292
03:18:14.040 --> 03:18:17.040
maybe it sounds crazy, but do you think she could have,

3293
03:18:18.719 --> 03:18:18.959
you know.

3294
03:18:19.479 --> 03:18:23.319
Run over it. It wouldn't be the first time. Don't worry.

3295
03:18:23.600 --> 03:18:26.639
The company will check in, double check, and then triple check.

3296
03:18:27.360 --> 03:18:30.360
They don't just hand out all that money without really investigating.

3297
03:18:31.040 --> 03:18:31.280
Yeah.

3298
03:18:32.399 --> 03:18:34.360
See, I wish I'd been able to wangle the whole

3299
03:18:34.399 --> 03:18:35.760
annual premium out of him.

3300
03:18:35.680 --> 03:18:38.520
First, though, Ill cheer up. There are lots more prospects

3301
03:18:38.559 --> 03:18:41.120
where he came from. Come on, I'll buy a lunch.

3302
03:18:49.879 --> 03:18:52.719
M I was sure a good meal. How I thanked

3303
03:18:52.760 --> 03:18:53.000
a lot.

3304
03:18:53.319 --> 03:18:54.200
Feeling a little better now?

3305
03:18:54.319 --> 03:18:57.079
Yeah, sure, just just a little.

3306
03:18:58.479 --> 03:18:59.399
That's great.

3307
03:18:59.399 --> 03:19:01.879
I think Now what you got to do now, kid,

3308
03:19:01.920 --> 03:19:04.200
is simply forget all about Fouchet and settle down to

3309
03:19:04.280 --> 03:19:07.079
making up the difference in other policies. Yeah, four or

3310
03:19:07.159 --> 03:19:08.559
five medium sized cases.

3311
03:19:08.399 --> 03:19:09.399
Will make it all back for you.

3312
03:19:10.079 --> 03:19:11.879
Never look back, but always ahead.

3313
03:19:12.040 --> 03:19:15.680
Well, hey, Howard, over there just coming in.

3314
03:19:17.799 --> 03:19:21.200
It's not there, not bad at all, that's missus fouchet.

3315
03:19:22.680 --> 03:19:24.559
Oh look the guy with her?

3316
03:19:24.760 --> 03:19:26.440
And what about Why.

3317
03:19:26.319 --> 03:19:28.120
Would she be going out to lunch with some guy

3318
03:19:28.239 --> 03:19:29.840
the day after her husband is run over?

3319
03:19:30.479 --> 03:19:32.959
Don't go leave into a lot of conclusions, son, A

3320
03:19:33.040 --> 03:19:35.159
man could be her brother, or her lawyer, or her

3321
03:19:35.239 --> 03:19:37.719
husband's lawyer, or just somebody who's taking you out to

3322
03:19:37.719 --> 03:19:40.959
get her mind off her troubles. No loss, the widow

3323
03:19:41.040 --> 03:19:44.719
has to go into hiding. Come on, come on, drink

3324
03:19:44.760 --> 03:19:46.719
your coffee. I have to get back to the office.

3325
03:19:46.799 --> 03:19:49.920
Howard, would you do me a favor? I mean, go

3326
03:19:50.159 --> 03:19:52.239
pay a call on her later today with me?

3327
03:19:52.920 --> 03:19:53.239
What for?

3328
03:19:53.920 --> 03:19:57.319
Well, you're more experienced about people than I am. I

3329
03:19:58.040 --> 03:19:59.920
just like you to meet her and see what you're

3330
03:20:00.040 --> 03:20:00.319
think of it.

3331
03:20:01.079 --> 03:20:02.399
Well, I will make you feel any better.

3332
03:20:03.000 --> 03:20:03.319
Okay.

3333
03:20:04.479 --> 03:20:07.159
Besides, and every day I get to meet someone as

3334
03:20:07.200 --> 03:20:08.040
good looking as you is.

3335
03:20:16.639 --> 03:20:20.000
In a moment, we will return for the third act of.

3336
03:20:22.079 --> 03:20:22.840
Suspense.

3337
03:20:36.200 --> 03:20:37.280
Its flankly neighborhood.

3338
03:20:37.440 --> 03:20:41.639
You know what do you see the inside of the house, Oh,

3339
03:20:42.360 --> 03:20:45.600
mister Phillips, Yes, ma'am, I'd like you to meet my associate,

3340
03:20:46.040 --> 03:20:48.799
mister Wigley, Missus Bouchet alone.

3341
03:20:49.840 --> 03:20:50.479
You've seen the.

3342
03:20:50.520 --> 03:20:54.280
Paper, yes, I still don't believe it.

3343
03:20:54.360 --> 03:20:57.559
I only last night at supper we were discussing our

3344
03:20:57.639 --> 03:20:58.200
vacation and.

3345
03:20:58.280 --> 03:21:04.040
Now you must excuse me hopefully Please don't apologize, man,

3346
03:21:04.120 --> 03:21:07.360
That's that's why we came to offer our condolences.

3347
03:21:07.840 --> 03:21:08.879
That's very kind of you.

3348
03:21:09.000 --> 03:21:12.239
I feel so so laws.

3349
03:21:13.319 --> 03:21:16.000
If it weren't for my husband's lawyer, Roger, what your

3350
03:21:16.920 --> 03:21:20.000
I don't know what I'd do. He even insisted on

3351
03:21:20.120 --> 03:21:22.280
taking me out for lunch today to get my mind up.

3352
03:21:23.840 --> 03:21:24.440
What did I tell me?

3353
03:21:25.719 --> 03:21:28.159
And we won't bother you anymore, Missus say. If there's

3354
03:21:28.159 --> 03:21:29.440
anything we can do, just let us know.

3355
03:21:29.479 --> 03:21:32.680
I come on, buddy, would you like to come in

3356
03:21:32.799 --> 03:21:33.239
for a moment?

3357
03:21:33.319 --> 03:21:40.399
No, man, no, we wouldn't even imposing goodbye goodbye. What

3358
03:21:40.520 --> 03:21:42.639
do you think she's a fine woman taking me like

3359
03:21:42.719 --> 03:21:45.280
a soldier? Like I said, budd, you're leaving to a

3360
03:21:45.319 --> 03:21:46.520
lot of wrong conclusions.

3361
03:22:02.360 --> 03:22:05.600
Oh, mister Philli, h I hope.

3362
03:22:05.360 --> 03:22:06.600
I'm not interrupting anything.

3363
03:22:06.959 --> 03:22:09.360
No, I was just doing my separatatious This is a

3364
03:22:09.399 --> 03:22:10.159
maze nine house.

3365
03:22:10.399 --> 03:22:12.760
I just thought, well, it's been almost three weeks now,

3366
03:22:12.799 --> 03:22:16.200
and I was passing by, and well I thought maybe

3367
03:22:16.280 --> 03:22:16.920
there was something I.

3368
03:22:16.920 --> 03:22:19.639
Could do to have And that's very kind of mister Phillips.

3369
03:22:19.680 --> 03:22:24.239
But really there isn't anything all But now that you've stuck,

3370
03:22:24.360 --> 03:22:25.760
why don't you come in for a moment?

3371
03:22:25.959 --> 03:22:27.479
Oh? Are you sure it's all right?

3372
03:22:27.639 --> 03:22:28.440
Perfectly all right?

3373
03:22:28.760 --> 03:22:29.040
Thank you?

3374
03:22:30.719 --> 03:22:32.040
Won't you come into the living room?

3375
03:22:34.879 --> 03:22:35.399
Were alone?

3376
03:22:36.200 --> 03:22:37.559
No, there's a spy from.

3377
03:22:37.440 --> 03:22:38.399
Your insurance company.

3378
03:22:38.520 --> 03:22:40.639
End of the piano. Of course we're alone.

3379
03:22:40.719 --> 03:22:43.840
You get to check it's already deposited. Angel, five hundred

3380
03:22:43.920 --> 03:22:46.600
thousand dollars. I keep saying it over and over again,

3381
03:22:46.840 --> 03:22:49.000
the most beautiful words in the English language.

3382
03:22:49.079 --> 03:22:49.760
No one's going to run.

3383
03:22:49.879 --> 03:22:50.840
Do you mean to invest me?

3384
03:22:51.319 --> 03:22:51.360
No?

3385
03:22:51.680 --> 03:22:52.799
Not since right after the act?

3386
03:22:53.079 --> 03:22:54.120
Oh you know what that means?

3387
03:22:54.159 --> 03:22:55.559
Maybe we are in the clear.

3388
03:22:55.680 --> 03:22:56.719
Nobody's got a thing to go on.

3389
03:22:56.840 --> 03:22:57.479
We're in the clear.

3390
03:22:57.639 --> 03:22:59.360
Oh I never thought we wouldn't the Angel.

3391
03:23:02.520 --> 03:23:05.719
I can't wait much longer for you sneaking in and

3392
03:23:05.799 --> 03:23:09.000
out like this. It's been driving me crazy. When do

3393
03:23:09.120 --> 03:23:11.879
we go well, then I think up a good story

3394
03:23:11.959 --> 03:23:13.879
for Rigby, something that will give us two or three

3395
03:23:13.920 --> 03:23:17.280
weeks head start off, be a vacation, and then we

3396
03:23:17.440 --> 03:23:19.639
just take off from Extao from there down to top

3397
03:23:19.639 --> 03:23:24.239
of America. But the spect we'll be long gone and

3398
03:23:24.399 --> 03:23:27.079
we'll be where they can't extra di us either. You've

3399
03:23:27.079 --> 03:23:30.000
gotten rid of the current, drifted it down in my

3400
03:23:30.079 --> 03:23:30.840
own garage and.

3401
03:23:30.920 --> 03:23:32.399
Sold it for junk, pis bipe.

3402
03:23:33.120 --> 03:23:35.360
Don't you worried, baby, You've got it made.

3403
03:23:35.639 --> 03:23:37.680
I'm not worried as long as I happy.

3404
03:23:38.120 --> 03:23:41.079
Hello, call you tomorrow the next day. That the whole time,

3405
03:23:42.639 --> 03:23:45.760
so long, gorgeous, take care of my going to bed.

3406
03:23:46.000 --> 03:23:46.760
I love my sofa.

3407
03:23:49.239 --> 03:23:49.639
Good night.

3408
03:23:49.959 --> 03:23:52.399
Say there's anything else, mister Rigby.

3409
03:23:52.280 --> 03:23:53.079
Or I can do for you?

3410
03:23:53.399 --> 03:23:54.680
Please just say the word.

3411
03:23:59.440 --> 03:24:01.159
Much got step down?

3412
03:24:01.479 --> 03:24:04.920
Were your bags? Okay, let's get going on back doors?

3413
03:24:05.600 --> 03:24:07.600
But what about your bag? How fin would I need

3414
03:24:07.639 --> 03:24:09.200
in Mexico? Soon we're across the border.

3415
03:24:09.239 --> 03:24:09.799
The better.

3416
03:24:11.879 --> 03:24:13.879
We picked a good night, Madeline pitch Black.

3417
03:24:18.920 --> 03:24:21.120
The garage doors are already open though.

3418
03:24:21.159 --> 03:24:26.120
Of everything, gas tanks, boot shout, of everything, you guy?

3419
03:24:37.520 --> 03:24:38.120
Are you thinking?

3420
03:24:39.040 --> 03:24:39.319
I am?

3421
03:24:39.719 --> 03:24:46.840
Your dear mister Eugene J. Phillips job on him, and

3422
03:24:47.319 --> 03:24:49.920
so he calls you when tomorrow and the next day

3423
03:24:50.600 --> 03:24:51.200
you're gone?

3424
03:24:51.440 --> 03:24:52.280
And what can we do?

3425
03:24:52.680 --> 03:24:53.000
Nothing?

3426
03:24:53.399 --> 03:24:54.479
Absolutely nothing.

3427
03:24:54.559 --> 03:24:56.639
He's left pulling up big every bag.

3428
03:24:56.799 --> 03:24:59.639
Well he couldn't go to the police and welcome into.

3429
03:24:59.520 --> 03:25:04.079
The gas m anyway. Give us one week and who cares?

3430
03:25:04.360 --> 03:25:06.200
There is no extradition where we're going.

3431
03:25:06.440 --> 03:25:07.959
That's funny he mentioned that too.

3432
03:25:08.319 --> 03:25:10.120
No, it only goes to show that he's a very

3433
03:25:10.200 --> 03:25:11.200
intelligent stooge.

3434
03:25:13.200 --> 03:25:15.520
Tell me something. Is this a private joke or can

3435
03:25:15.559 --> 03:25:19.079
I get in on it? I will just call me

3436
03:25:19.200 --> 03:25:20.040
stooge for sure.

3437
03:25:20.680 --> 03:25:21.520
How are you mister?

3438
03:25:21.760 --> 03:25:24.719
Uh, mister Whittier. Isn't that you such a fallen for us?

3439
03:25:24.719 --> 03:25:26.680
Once he thought I had, didn't you maddle any lovely

3440
03:25:26.760 --> 03:25:27.760
little double crosser?

3441
03:25:28.000 --> 03:25:28.840
Well, Bud, listen to.

3442
03:25:28.879 --> 03:25:31.680
Me, Donnie, you won't believe this, but you're right, I won't.

3443
03:25:31.520 --> 03:25:32.760
Believe it, So save your breath.

3444
03:25:32.840 --> 03:25:33.200
Angel.

3445
03:25:33.680 --> 03:25:35.639
You got a gun, mister Whittier.

3446
03:25:35.719 --> 03:25:36.440
You're a lawyer.

3447
03:25:36.559 --> 03:25:39.120
You know the penalty for carrying a deadly weapon. I

3448
03:25:39.200 --> 03:25:43.600
don't need a gun that Oh no, you see, I

3449
03:25:43.719 --> 03:25:46.040
have a lawyer too, and I left a letter with him.

3450
03:25:46.680 --> 03:25:48.559
If he doesn't get a phone call or a cable

3451
03:25:48.639 --> 03:25:50.399
from me every three days. He gives the letter to

3452
03:25:50.440 --> 03:25:53.280
the police. They may not be able to extradite us

3453
03:25:53.280 --> 03:25:55.959
for Cluchet's murder, but they wouldn't be too happy about

3454
03:25:56.000 --> 03:25:58.959
one committed right under their noses, now, would they. You

3455
03:25:59.159 --> 03:26:02.959
can around, Angel, I figured you were planning summer, so

3456
03:26:03.120 --> 03:26:05.680
I just took some natural precaution.

3457
03:26:06.159 --> 03:26:08.239
Roger, we've got to kill him before we reach Mexico.

3458
03:26:08.559 --> 03:26:10.159
Sure, take a chance from being seen.

3459
03:26:10.600 --> 03:26:12.319
And what do we do with a body ticket with us?

3460
03:26:12.719 --> 03:26:15.159
He's right, Angel, You see between here and the border,

3461
03:26:15.200 --> 03:26:15.799
it's it's.

3462
03:26:15.719 --> 03:26:19.079
Kind of open, pretty well traveled too. Why don't you

3463
03:26:19.200 --> 03:26:22.000
just relax? Even after I take my third you and

3464
03:26:22.200 --> 03:26:25.200
Clarence Darrow, there still have three hundred and thirty three

3465
03:26:25.280 --> 03:26:26.399
thousand bucks left.

3466
03:26:26.440 --> 03:26:30.520
And that's not hey, shut up, such a poor sportsmanship.

3467
03:26:31.440 --> 03:26:33.879
Who will we go take a little.

3468
03:26:33.719 --> 03:26:48.200
Map back here with a border, James Senor, Well, we've

3469
03:26:48.280 --> 03:26:50.879
just come across the border, my friend, and we're celebrating

3470
03:26:51.040 --> 03:26:54.200
Bueno Senor. See my two friends here on their honeymoon,

3471
03:26:54.280 --> 03:26:56.319
and I'm the best man, and we're all going on

3472
03:26:56.440 --> 03:26:57.120
the trips together.

3473
03:26:57.319 --> 03:27:01.479
You you joke, Signo, Yeah, I joke.

3474
03:27:02.280 --> 03:27:07.879
Three double scouts come on now, don't look so grounty

3475
03:27:07.959 --> 03:27:09.920
you too. I think of all the fun we're going

3476
03:27:09.959 --> 03:27:13.600
to have together. Who knows, maybe I can tell Old

3477
03:27:13.760 --> 03:27:17.239
Roger here a nice fat insurance policy, and then Madeline can.

3478
03:27:17.200 --> 03:27:17.879
Run him down.

3479
03:27:19.200 --> 03:27:22.159
I thought, anyway, what's the matter?

3480
03:27:23.239 --> 03:27:23.799
What are you say?

3481
03:27:24.719 --> 03:27:26.600
I guess you's surprised to see me, bun.

3482
03:27:28.600 --> 03:27:31.360
How alright?

3483
03:27:31.479 --> 03:27:33.879
How did you? Wasn't too hot? Kids, you weren't quite

3484
03:27:33.879 --> 03:27:36.680
as smart as you thought. Don't bottoms a cliche? The

3485
03:27:36.719 --> 03:27:41.639
place of the place around, okay, Captain Gomez. But I'm

3486
03:27:41.680 --> 03:27:44.079
sorry for you. I try to tell you it was

3487
03:27:44.120 --> 03:27:47.040
a small cases that paid off if you were too greedy.

3488
03:27:54.840 --> 03:28:03.760
Suspensing to Cold Canvas written or suspend by water Black

3489
03:28:04.479 --> 03:28:06.159
in a moment, the names of our players, and a

3490
03:28:06.200 --> 03:28:09.120
word about next week's story of stuff ben heard in

3491
03:28:09.200 --> 03:28:12.799
tonight's story, where William Redfield as Bud Phillip's Ginger Jones

3492
03:28:12.840 --> 03:28:16.319
as Madeline Bouchet, Less, Damon as Hard Rigby, and Guy

3493
03:28:16.399 --> 03:28:20.239
Repp as Victor Fouchet. Listen again next week when we'll

3494
03:28:20.280 --> 03:28:25.600
return with Endgame by David Carr. Another tale well calculated

3495
03:28:25.639 --> 03:28:26.200
to keep you in.

3496
03:28:28.319 --> 03:28:29.079
Suspense.

3497
03:28:32.959 --> 03:28:37.319
Well, my dear, I know it's about time for us

3498
03:28:37.360 --> 03:28:40.159
to part, at least for now, but I hope to

3499
03:28:40.280 --> 03:28:45.360
catch you once more before well a new year downs.

3500
03:28:47.319 --> 03:28:51.040
This is one more kind of gift. We listened so

3501
03:28:51.319 --> 03:28:57.719
often to these disembodied voices, these distant stories. It's rare

3502
03:28:57.879 --> 03:29:05.040
there's a familiar voice among them. But tonight, well, this

3503
03:29:05.239 --> 03:29:10.719
one's it's extra special. I hope you enjoy it as

3504
03:29:10.799 --> 03:29:13.799
much as I do. I hope it means as much

3505
03:29:13.920 --> 03:29:19.239
to you as it does to me. The open end wrench.

3506
03:29:19.840 --> 03:29:31.760
This is Awson Weld speaking from London, the Black Museum.

3507
03:29:33.000 --> 03:29:35.879
Here in the Grimstone structure on the Thames, which houses

3508
03:29:35.920 --> 03:29:41.200
Gartland Yard, is a warehouse of homicide, where everyday objects,

3509
03:29:41.760 --> 03:29:45.920
an ink bottle, a child's raincoat, of sofa pillow.

3510
03:29:46.319 --> 03:29:59.000
All are touched by murder. Is an open end wrench.

3511
03:30:00.000 --> 03:30:00.799
Familiar object.

3512
03:30:01.280 --> 03:30:03.559
If you own an automobile, you own one of these.

3513
03:30:04.399 --> 03:30:06.200
Very least you've seen a mechanic used one.

3514
03:30:06.360 --> 03:30:10.319
The steel shaft about eight inches long, the shaft bulging

3515
03:30:10.399 --> 03:30:14.079
into a curve shaped like a horseshoe, which fits a

3516
03:30:14.120 --> 03:30:19.239
bold exactly simple tool, almost beautiful in its slim efficiency.

3517
03:30:20.000 --> 03:30:21.159
Well made, isn't it?

3518
03:30:21.280 --> 03:30:25.840
Inspector We're familiar with these things dot com quite common

3519
03:30:25.879 --> 03:30:26.479
as weapons.

3520
03:30:26.639 --> 03:30:30.639
Yes, of course one skull could be cracked rather efficaciously

3521
03:30:31.079 --> 03:30:33.239
if this were brought down hard on it.

3522
03:30:40.079 --> 03:30:44.920
And today this open end wrench can be seen in

3523
03:30:45.040 --> 03:30:45.959
the Black Museum.

3524
03:30:55.399 --> 03:30:58.200
From the annals of the Criminal Investigation Department of the

3525
03:30:58.280 --> 03:31:01.520
London Police. We bring you the dramatic stories of the

3526
03:31:01.639 --> 03:31:05.719
crimes recorded by the objects in Scotland Yards Gallery of Death,

3527
03:31:06.760 --> 03:31:07.959
the Black Museum.

3528
03:31:23.920 --> 03:31:29.000
Here we are the Black Museum, Scotland Yards Museum of Murder.

3529
03:31:30.399 --> 03:31:32.000
Yes here lies death.

3530
03:31:33.440 --> 03:31:37.239
Here in silent Rows is the orded catalog of the

3531
03:31:37.440 --> 03:31:38.639
violence wreaked by.

3532
03:31:38.639 --> 03:31:42.799
Man or fellow man. He is an empty cardboard match cover.

3533
03:31:43.399 --> 03:31:45.879
Perhaps you've tossed one into your own waistbasket at this

3534
03:31:46.079 --> 03:31:51.079
very moment, but not like this. Let's hope now from

3535
03:31:51.120 --> 03:31:53.959
this one. The sulfur headed matches were ripped to start

3536
03:31:54.000 --> 03:31:59.319
a fire. A woman died in the burning building. Later

3537
03:31:59.399 --> 03:32:05.120
Amanda the end of a rope trapped by the printed advertisement.

3538
03:32:04.559 --> 03:32:06.239
On this match cover. Ah.

3539
03:32:06.360 --> 03:32:11.120
Yes, here we are at the open end wrench, at

3540
03:32:11.200 --> 03:32:14.360
the common tool among mechanics, even among non mechanical types.

3541
03:32:14.399 --> 03:32:16.479
Bookkeepers clerks teaches.

3542
03:32:16.159 --> 03:32:18.959
No sign of violence or death upon it, merely a

3543
03:32:19.040 --> 03:32:22.000
bit of shaped patterned steel produced for use in the

3544
03:32:22.079 --> 03:32:27.479
manufacturing repair of modern machines. Look at it in ordinary circumstances,

3545
03:32:27.559 --> 03:32:29.440
and it will evoke no thought of tragedy in you,

3546
03:32:30.200 --> 03:32:32.920
or even in the motorists. To travel an English highway

3547
03:32:33.399 --> 03:32:37.840
one quiet spring morning, going at a normal speed, enjoying

3548
03:32:37.879 --> 03:32:41.239
the fresh sunlight, a new, clean green of fields and

3549
03:32:41.440 --> 03:32:42.239
rising hills.

3550
03:32:42.600 --> 03:32:43.760
The road curved ahead.

3551
03:32:44.639 --> 03:32:46.760
White posts mark the edge of the endankment.

3552
03:32:47.559 --> 03:32:49.520
The road heels slightly, turning to the left.

3553
03:32:50.600 --> 03:32:54.639
Ah, quite a view. Get god, it's a nasty curve.

3554
03:32:55.079 --> 03:33:03.239
It's not awake. That fence it flashed. God hemns, there's.

3555
03:33:03.000 --> 03:33:03.799
A car down there.

3556
03:33:12.920 --> 03:33:16.120
Minutes only until he's back in his own car, speeding

3557
03:33:16.200 --> 03:33:19.280
toward the nearest town, toward the nearest police station.

3558
03:33:20.680 --> 03:33:26.040
There, Constable, there's a wreck on the curve about a

3559
03:33:26.120 --> 03:33:27.000
mile south of here.

3560
03:33:27.120 --> 03:33:28.959
You have anything to do with it, mister, No, no, no,

3561
03:33:29.040 --> 03:33:29.479
of course not.

3562
03:33:29.760 --> 03:33:32.200
I noticed the broken fence and saw the car down

3563
03:33:32.239 --> 03:33:34.799
the hill. I say there seemed to be a woman

3564
03:33:34.879 --> 03:33:37.280
in it. Look, you better come and bring help.

3565
03:33:40.079 --> 03:33:43.360
The doctor, who was also the local coroner, needed little

3566
03:33:43.440 --> 03:33:45.799
time to determine which of his functions were called for.

3567
03:33:45.920 --> 03:33:46.399
It the wreck.

3568
03:33:50.680 --> 03:33:52.120
He's been past help for hours.

3569
03:33:52.399 --> 03:33:53.879
Must have gone off the road during the night.

3570
03:33:54.200 --> 03:33:56.200
I've notified the superintendent about the extent.

3571
03:33:56.239 --> 03:33:56.559
Doctor.

3572
03:33:57.000 --> 03:33:59.120
Yes, well, you fellows will want to trace the car

3573
03:34:00.079 --> 03:34:01.319
identification on the body.

3574
03:34:01.639 --> 03:34:04.360
Nothing in the woman's purson, It ought to be laundry

3575
03:34:04.440 --> 03:34:08.319
or dry cleanness marks. It's pretty hard to stay identified

3576
03:34:08.360 --> 03:34:09.280
these days, doctor.

3577
03:34:09.200 --> 03:34:11.239
Yes, of course, you can show the ambulance men to

3578
03:34:11.280 --> 03:34:13.639
take her to the hospital. Hospital, say or a topsy

3579
03:34:13.879 --> 03:34:16.360
I can't just cibe a certificate accidental death.

3580
03:34:16.399 --> 03:34:18.719
You know, Constable is very well, sir.

3581
03:34:25.959 --> 03:34:29.000
The ambulance drove off to the local hospital. Doctor Mason

3582
03:34:29.040 --> 03:34:30.040
followed in his own car.

3583
03:34:30.520 --> 03:34:33.399
At the wreck. The constable saluted a newcomer.

3584
03:34:33.600 --> 03:34:37.680
Good morning, sir, Good morning Johnson turn Turtle.

3585
03:34:37.719 --> 03:34:40.600
I see, yes, sir, this is the man who discovered

3586
03:34:40.600 --> 03:34:42.120
the excerpt, mister Frisbee.

3587
03:34:42.280 --> 03:34:43.959
Superintendent fostered, Oh how.

3588
03:34:43.879 --> 03:34:44.360
Do you do, sir?

3589
03:34:44.920 --> 03:34:49.479
Mister Frisbee. Yeah, you left your name and address.

3590
03:34:50.360 --> 03:34:53.440
With the constable. Sir, If I may I have a

3591
03:34:53.520 --> 03:34:54.639
business appointment.

3592
03:34:54.360 --> 03:34:56.159
Yes, youme go ahead. We will send for you if

3593
03:34:56.200 --> 03:34:57.239
we need you for the inquest.

3594
03:34:57.319 --> 03:34:59.280
Oh, thank you, sir. Well, just let me know if

3595
03:34:59.319 --> 03:35:01.879
you want me I'll be available any time, sir.

3596
03:35:02.959 --> 03:35:07.360
Anything extraordinary, Johnson, nothing is as fast we've seen no fire, No, sir,

3597
03:35:08.040 --> 03:35:09.520
I'll never look at it a little.

3598
03:35:09.239 --> 03:35:13.440
To Superintendent Foster poked around in the twisted metal and

3599
03:35:13.600 --> 03:35:14.680
point Gonne's attention.

3600
03:35:15.639 --> 03:35:18.239
Johnson, any idea which way she was traveling?

3601
03:35:18.600 --> 03:35:19.239
Downgrade?

3602
03:35:19.280 --> 03:35:19.440
Sir?

3603
03:35:20.079 --> 03:35:22.600
There are rather clear tire marks on the roadway leading

3604
03:35:22.639 --> 03:35:24.040
to the break of a fencer.

3605
03:35:24.159 --> 03:35:29.239
Down grade Strange. The gear shift levers in second position,

3606
03:35:29.840 --> 03:35:36.639
second gear. Apparently that grade isn't that steep? Just the point? Well,

3607
03:35:36.760 --> 03:35:39.360
a woman driver strange road at night.

3608
03:35:39.799 --> 03:35:41.239
She wasn't in the driver's seater.

3609
03:35:41.760 --> 03:35:44.520
Oh, tossed over as the car Feddle.

3610
03:35:44.639 --> 03:35:47.559
I can't say, sir. I'd have expected, sir, that she'd

3611
03:35:47.600 --> 03:35:49.639
have been pinned behind the steering wheel.

3612
03:35:51.159 --> 03:35:54.520
May be right about that. Well, we'll leave things as

3613
03:35:54.559 --> 03:35:59.000
they are. The insurance people usually want to see these ricks. Hello,

3614
03:35:59.559 --> 03:36:03.760
what's this open end register? Probably from the years Constable

3615
03:36:04.959 --> 03:36:08.719
I was going to say, the toolboxer. The toolbox was locked,

3616
03:36:09.280 --> 03:36:11.920
no other tools around. We'll bring it along to the

3617
03:36:11.959 --> 03:36:14.680
station house. There's ense leaving it out here to rust

3618
03:36:15.120 --> 03:36:18.399
and the usual routine trace the registration of the car

3619
03:36:18.680 --> 03:36:22.040
locate the owner or the extra kin and check if

3620
03:36:22.079 --> 03:36:23.440
it was the woman's car.

3621
03:36:41.959 --> 03:36:47.520
The usual routine for another auto accident, another careless, sleepy driver.

3622
03:36:48.360 --> 03:36:51.799
The usual telegrams were sent, the usual telephone calls were made.

3623
03:36:52.200 --> 03:36:56.719
The same afternoon, Comfortable Johnston reported to a superintendent.

3624
03:36:56.799 --> 03:37:03.360
Yeas Johnson papers on the extracer. Hum, I see owner

3625
03:37:03.680 --> 03:37:09.040
Martin beach avon MWS, London. Has he been not divide?

3626
03:37:09.399 --> 03:37:12.200
Yes, sir, he's on his way down. The woman was

3627
03:37:12.239 --> 03:37:16.239
his wife's, Sir asked Ben a shock I took the cars.

3628
03:37:16.639 --> 03:37:18.840
He kept saying he couldn't understand what she was doing.

3629
03:37:18.719 --> 03:37:19.440
All the way out here.

3630
03:37:19.719 --> 03:37:23.159
Well, we'll deal gently with him, doctor Mason reported.

3631
03:37:23.239 --> 03:37:25.520
Yet, no, sir, nothing on the autopsy is yet.

3632
03:37:25.639 --> 03:37:29.879
Taking him a long time. Let's see, kept me, doctor

3633
03:37:29.920 --> 03:37:34.959
Mason pears at the hospital. Did you make certain on

3634
03:37:35.120 --> 03:37:36.680
the tire tracks, Johnson.

3635
03:37:36.520 --> 03:37:36.959
We did, sir.

3636
03:37:37.360 --> 03:37:40.159
They metch perfectly. The car was coming down, sir, on

3637
03:37:40.200 --> 03:37:42.520
the side of the road away from the fence. It

3638
03:37:42.559 --> 03:37:45.920
seems to have swerved suddenly just above the curve and

3639
03:37:46.040 --> 03:37:47.680
made rather a bee line for the edge.

3640
03:37:48.000 --> 03:37:50.520
Are you suggesting she went over purposely? Johnson?

3641
03:37:50.680 --> 03:37:53.760
No, sir, it seemed like a point, sir, Most cars

3642
03:37:53.799 --> 03:37:55.479
at least tried to follow the road.

3643
03:37:55.559 --> 03:37:55.680
Sir.

3644
03:37:55.920 --> 03:37:58.520
I notice you keep referring to the car and not

3645
03:37:58.680 --> 03:37:59.159
to the woman.

3646
03:37:59.680 --> 03:38:02.319
She wasn't in the driver's seats when we found her

3647
03:38:03.520 --> 03:38:11.600
stickler for detail, aren't you constable? Ah, I'll both yere good.

3648
03:38:12.559 --> 03:38:13.719
I just put a call through to you.

3649
03:38:13.840 --> 03:38:14.120
Doctor.

3650
03:38:16.799 --> 03:38:20.719
Yeah, he is thinking, yes, he's ad to arrive. Well,

3651
03:38:20.879 --> 03:38:23.280
what did you find, doctor? You asked that as if

3652
03:38:23.319 --> 03:38:26.879
you knew asked the deduction. You don't usually take this

3653
03:38:27.040 --> 03:38:28.120
long time on these jobs.

3654
03:38:28.159 --> 03:38:31.000
I didn't expect you until I found alcohol in her stomach.

3655
03:38:31.600 --> 03:38:32.440
Drunken driver, I.

3656
03:38:32.440 --> 03:38:35.319
Wouldn't know about that. In any case, she wasn't driving

3657
03:38:35.399 --> 03:38:37.079
when the car went through that fence.

3658
03:38:37.440 --> 03:38:40.559
Johnson's been suggesting that rather stubbornly, he couldn't be more

3659
03:38:40.639 --> 03:38:43.440
right faster? Why not? The dead don't drive?

3660
03:38:44.360 --> 03:38:44.639
Hello?

3661
03:38:45.319 --> 03:38:45.920
Anything else?

3662
03:38:46.040 --> 03:38:46.440
Quite a bit.

3663
03:38:46.840 --> 03:38:49.520
In the first place, death was not caused by the accident.

3664
03:38:49.879 --> 03:38:52.079
She was dead well before the car went over. You

3665
03:38:52.200 --> 03:38:57.040
told us that stangredation choked, probably unconscious of the time.

3666
03:38:57.760 --> 03:39:00.360
What do you base that conclusion on? Four uses?

3667
03:39:00.600 --> 03:39:02.040
Pay the neck pose?

3668
03:39:02.120 --> 03:39:04.760
I thought the extent, the dead don't drive, and they

3669
03:39:04.840 --> 03:39:09.079
don't bruise, Constable, those marks were made while she was

3670
03:39:09.159 --> 03:39:09.760
still alive.

3671
03:39:10.440 --> 03:39:16.319
I see definitely murder, doctor, definitely, I'd like to see

3672
03:39:16.319 --> 03:39:19.840
the body. Come along, Constable, your instinct.

3673
03:39:20.680 --> 03:39:23.040
Three men enter the morgue at the small country hospital.

3674
03:39:23.719 --> 03:39:26.360
Three grim faces betray no emotion as they view the

3675
03:39:26.399 --> 03:39:27.120
woman's body.

3676
03:39:28.040 --> 03:39:31.639
The doctor says, you'll notice the marks the strangler's thumbs

3677
03:39:31.680 --> 03:39:32.559
made there.

3678
03:39:33.200 --> 03:39:36.479
The obvious bruise is here, just below her hairline on

3679
03:39:36.639 --> 03:39:37.159
her forehead.

3680
03:39:37.360 --> 03:39:39.200
The superintendent of police says.

3681
03:39:39.840 --> 03:39:44.000
I see interesting in the shape of that bruise, almost

3682
03:39:44.159 --> 03:39:45.639
like a small horseshoe.

3683
03:39:46.200 --> 03:39:50.879
Diffidently, the constable clears his throat, inquiring glance from his superintendent.

3684
03:39:52.040 --> 03:39:53.280
The young officer says.

3685
03:39:55.120 --> 03:39:57.239
We might dry for actual size, Sir.

3686
03:39:57.760 --> 03:39:59.600
That kind of mark could have been made by that

3687
03:40:00.319 --> 03:40:00.799
end wrench.

3688
03:40:06.239 --> 03:40:11.040
Today at open end wrench is to be seen in

3689
03:40:11.159 --> 03:40:12.479
the Black Museum.

3690
03:40:21.840 --> 03:40:24.639
The doctor placed the bulged end of the two against

3691
03:40:24.639 --> 03:40:25.520
the woman's forehead.

3692
03:40:26.280 --> 03:40:28.280
The three men stood there silently a moment.

3693
03:40:29.440 --> 03:40:33.079
The constable spoke no question about it, as they say,

3694
03:40:33.600 --> 03:40:37.680
not as far as I can see, Johnson. When the

3695
03:40:37.760 --> 03:40:41.000
speech fellow arrived, say nothing about any of this, and

3696
03:40:41.079 --> 03:40:44.079
I don't want a trunk call plays immediate day. I

3697
03:40:44.200 --> 03:40:46.520
want to speak with Inspector Hall at Scotland Yard.

3698
03:40:49.799 --> 03:40:53.520
The ponderous, inevitable juggernaut that his police work began to

3699
03:40:53.639 --> 03:40:58.040
move gained momentum. A fast car brought Inspector Hall and

3700
03:40:58.120 --> 03:41:01.120
Sergeant Williams from the yard before train connections permitted the

3701
03:41:01.200 --> 03:41:05.079
arrival of Martin Beach. The inspector listened intently as Superintendent

3702
03:41:05.200 --> 03:41:11.680
Foster outlined the details, then quietly, no fuss, no newspaper headlines.

3703
03:41:12.360 --> 03:41:16.159
Detectives were dispatched to run a check. Shortly thereafter, a

3704
03:41:16.239 --> 03:41:18.600
grief stricken husband arrived at the station house in the

3705
03:41:18.639 --> 03:41:19.760
company of doctor Mason.

3706
03:41:20.920 --> 03:41:24.559
There's no question about my identification, Superintendent Doctor.

3707
03:41:24.319 --> 03:41:27.040
Mason will bear me out. I knew her the moment.

3708
03:41:27.120 --> 03:41:28.680
That is darkner.

3709
03:41:29.280 --> 03:41:30.719
Yes, it's missus Beech.

3710
03:41:31.360 --> 03:41:34.639
I can't understand it. I simply can't. She was a

3711
03:41:34.680 --> 03:41:35.719
good driver, better than I.

3712
03:41:36.159 --> 03:41:38.840
How did it happen that she was out alone?

3713
03:41:39.399 --> 03:41:42.600
We lived a quiet life, even Moses in the suburb

3714
03:41:42.639 --> 03:41:45.639
of London. Really, she'd often take the car for a drive.

3715
03:41:45.799 --> 03:41:47.520
I'd go to sleep. I had to get up early.

3716
03:41:48.159 --> 03:41:51.239
My business is in the city. She said she wanted

3717
03:41:51.280 --> 03:41:54.239
some pressure last night. I didn't miss her until I

3718
03:41:54.280 --> 03:41:56.600
woke this morning. I can't understand it.

3719
03:41:57.360 --> 03:42:01.360
Why did you be a simple story? Quite commonplace, quite honest.

3720
03:42:02.559 --> 03:42:05.440
One question seemed to puzzle a husband more than it

3721
03:42:05.559 --> 03:42:06.280
disturbed him.

3722
03:42:07.559 --> 03:42:12.399
Liquor whisky? You mean, no, an occasional drink of friends placed,

3723
03:42:12.399 --> 03:42:15.799
that was all. Why are you suggesting Louise was a

3724
03:42:15.879 --> 03:42:16.600
drunken driver?

3725
03:42:17.040 --> 03:42:21.360
Now they were suggesting nothing, merely asking a routine question. Yes,

3726
03:42:21.520 --> 03:42:23.200
they would release the body shortly.

3727
03:42:23.680 --> 03:42:27.319
We have no relations, no one, We had only each other.

3728
03:42:28.159 --> 03:42:29.639
I shall have to notify our friends.

3729
03:42:30.040 --> 03:42:30.280
Yes.

3730
03:42:30.399 --> 03:42:34.239
The police agreed sympathetically, and Superintendent First turned doctor Mason

3731
03:42:34.319 --> 03:42:35.680
escorted him to his London train.

3732
03:42:37.159 --> 03:42:39.280
Meanwhile, on the Middlebury Road.

3733
03:42:46.440 --> 03:42:49.719
Your name Carrie, yes, sir, my name's williams C. I

3734
03:42:49.840 --> 03:42:52.319
d my identification, yes, Sorgian.

3735
03:42:52.559 --> 03:42:53.399
Shall we go wrong?

3736
03:42:53.959 --> 03:42:57.040
You heard of the accident down the hill?

3737
03:42:57.200 --> 03:42:57.840
Yes, of course.

3738
03:42:58.479 --> 03:43:01.600
How late do you keep this petro station open? Twelve

3739
03:43:01.760 --> 03:43:02.319
one o'clock?

3740
03:43:02.440 --> 03:43:05.319
You paint her a tterffic and last night I closed

3741
03:43:05.399 --> 03:43:09.959
up about one, locked the tanks and any customers around

3742
03:43:10.000 --> 03:43:11.040
that time, whether there was your.

3743
03:43:11.040 --> 03:43:14.079
Dog, sedan men or woman, you got a good look

3744
03:43:14.120 --> 03:43:17.120
at the woman. He was driving, bought five gallons. She

3745
03:43:17.319 --> 03:43:20.760
was asleep at the front seat. Any sign of whiskey, well,

3746
03:43:20.799 --> 03:43:23.040
he had a breath on him, Sergeant seemed in a

3747
03:43:23.159 --> 03:43:24.520
Larry too agy.

3748
03:43:24.719 --> 03:43:27.479
Now look this photo mean anything to you?

3749
03:43:28.399 --> 03:43:31.399
Yes, it looks a little chary to tell at night

3750
03:43:31.440 --> 03:43:34.920
that the light's beard. Is she sleeping there in a picture?

3751
03:43:35.159 --> 03:43:36.920
No, she's dead.

3752
03:43:40.959 --> 03:43:44.959
They call it backtracking. They tried to trace the car

3753
03:43:45.040 --> 03:43:45.680
along the road.

3754
03:43:45.719 --> 03:43:47.040
It traveled the.

3755
03:43:47.120 --> 03:43:50.760
Gas stations first, in this case where whiskey was present.

3756
03:43:50.840 --> 03:43:53.000
The taverns and the inns were checked as well.

3757
03:43:54.000 --> 03:43:58.799
You're the landlord here, yes, sir, my wife siddy, you're

3758
03:43:59.040 --> 03:44:03.280
the police, Yes, trying to trace the man and a woman.

3759
03:44:04.280 --> 03:44:08.479
This picture mean anything to you, Yes, sir?

3760
03:44:09.360 --> 03:44:14.600
She was here last night till closing time, had a

3761
03:44:14.879 --> 03:44:17.280
bit too much arm afraidser.

3762
03:44:18.280 --> 03:44:19.680
Was she alone?

3763
03:44:19.879 --> 03:44:25.280
No, sir, now with a shortish fellow, dark quiet in

3764
03:44:25.399 --> 03:44:26.600
a nervous sort of way.

3765
03:44:27.360 --> 03:44:31.319
I remember, because well he wanted to buy a bottle.

3766
03:44:31.479 --> 03:44:34.600
But I'd none despair, and I rather.

3767
03:44:34.559 --> 03:44:38.559
Thought what was driving? And all laid already had enough.

3768
03:44:43.440 --> 03:44:43.959
That evening.

3769
03:44:44.079 --> 03:44:46.680
Sergeant Williams gave the inspector his own reports from that

3770
03:44:46.799 --> 03:44:49.000
of the men assigned to the railroad portion of the inquiry.

3771
03:44:49.600 --> 03:44:53.040
They routed the conductor out of his bed. He remembers

3772
03:44:53.040 --> 03:44:55.520
the fellow all right, bought his ticket on the train.

3773
03:44:56.079 --> 03:44:58.799
Complete stranger, shortish and dark.

3774
03:45:00.079 --> 03:45:03.319
Yes, she was with a man, all right. Seems to

3775
03:45:03.639 --> 03:45:07.079
me we'd better break the news to Beach. It won't

3776
03:45:07.120 --> 03:45:07.600
be pleasant.

3777
03:45:07.920 --> 03:45:12.120
It wasn't pleasant, Martin. Beach took it quietly. But will

3778
03:45:12.120 --> 03:45:12.879
it not be a shock?

3779
03:45:14.000 --> 03:45:16.239
Who is with another man?

3780
03:45:17.200 --> 03:45:17.559
Spector?

3781
03:45:17.600 --> 03:45:19.520
You can't be serious. I'm afraid i am.

3782
03:45:20.360 --> 03:45:24.440
Your wife's picture has been tentatively identified by a petrol

3783
03:45:24.520 --> 03:45:25.799
station owner, by.

3784
03:45:25.680 --> 03:45:28.840
An innkeeper on the Middlebury Road. We'll be taken over

3785
03:45:28.920 --> 03:45:30.879
to the hospital to check tomorrow.

3786
03:45:32.479 --> 03:45:33.879
And she was with the man.

3787
03:45:34.440 --> 03:45:38.520
No, it's not possible. No one could have been that secreted.

3788
03:45:38.680 --> 03:45:41.120
And why we just lived for each other?

3789
03:45:41.879 --> 03:45:44.680
It's an old story to us, mister Beach, you're a

3790
03:45:44.719 --> 03:45:48.559
busy man. Your my wife was alone a good deal.

3791
03:45:48.840 --> 03:45:52.799
But when how you told yourself? She used the car alone,

3792
03:45:52.879 --> 03:45:55.600
and quite often at night. If I could get my

3793
03:45:55.760 --> 03:45:58.559
hands on him, Oh what fools we mortal to be.

3794
03:45:59.159 --> 03:46:01.920
We want him to the beach now.

3795
03:46:02.319 --> 03:46:03.200
Will you help us, of.

3796
03:46:03.280 --> 03:46:09.479
Course, anything, anything at all? Then maybe search your wife's effects.

3797
03:46:09.360 --> 03:46:11.440
Of course, Inspector, search the whole house if you think.

3798
03:46:12.000 --> 03:46:14.959
They were quite thorough, of course, and very quickly they

3799
03:46:15.000 --> 03:46:16.280
were successful.

3800
03:46:17.079 --> 03:46:19.639
I found these in the stocking box at the rear

3801
03:46:19.719 --> 03:46:21.520
of the bureau draw Inspector, I.

3802
03:46:21.680 --> 03:46:29.600
See, hmm letters, mister Beach, do you know of Fred Hennessy?

3803
03:46:30.120 --> 03:46:31.680
No? May I?

3804
03:46:32.280 --> 03:46:32.399
May?

3805
03:46:32.440 --> 03:46:33.200
I see the letters?

3806
03:46:33.600 --> 03:46:33.719
Right?

3807
03:46:34.159 --> 03:46:37.879
Well, I I think you'd rather not, and we'll be

3808
03:46:38.000 --> 03:46:38.920
checking them. The fingerprints.

3809
03:46:38.959 --> 03:46:43.399
Of course, they're all addressed to your wife. The last

3810
03:46:43.479 --> 03:46:48.159
one makes arrangements for a meeting place with the car.

3811
03:46:49.639 --> 03:46:53.000
Is there is there a return addressed, Inspector? There is

3812
03:46:54.239 --> 03:46:55.159
good luck, Inspector.

3813
03:46:59.399 --> 03:47:08.440
The Inspector and Sergeant Williams had luck. However, it was

3814
03:47:08.520 --> 03:47:10.280
not exactly good luck.

3815
03:47:11.479 --> 03:47:15.000
Fred Annessey. No, there's no Nercy living here.

3816
03:47:15.479 --> 03:47:18.920
Well now, perhaps he use another name, a shortish dark

3817
03:47:19.000 --> 03:47:21.159
pillow with the flare of a letter writing.

3818
03:47:21.440 --> 03:47:24.600
No, haven't heard any shortish men staying here in months.

3819
03:47:24.760 --> 03:47:27.399
Well, this is three four six Greenville Street, isn't it.

3820
03:47:27.760 --> 03:47:30.760
Well, there's nowhere else, Inspector. Once more, I don't have

3821
03:47:30.799 --> 03:47:33.600
any letter writers here. Every one of my men roomors

3822
03:47:33.639 --> 03:47:37.399
except one, works at the car factory. They're a tough crowd, inspector,

3823
03:47:37.440 --> 03:47:38.440
but they're nice enough to me.

3824
03:47:39.040 --> 03:47:40.159
I take good care of him.

3825
03:47:40.200 --> 03:47:40.399
I do.

3826
03:47:40.879 --> 03:47:43.680
And the one who doesn't build automobiles, how is it?

3827
03:47:43.760 --> 03:47:44.520
Constably is?

3828
03:47:45.719 --> 03:47:45.799
Now?

3829
03:47:45.879 --> 03:47:48.360
What would you want to see him for a good

3830
03:47:48.440 --> 03:47:50.520
question and a big disappointment.

3831
03:47:51.479 --> 03:47:55.559
Still, the machinery ground on the reports came in to the.

3832
03:47:55.600 --> 03:47:57.000
Small bear office of the Arron.

3833
03:47:57.360 --> 03:48:00.959
Here we are fingerprint reports, inspector. Now, the prints on

3834
03:48:01.040 --> 03:48:03.879
the letters matched those they found on the gear shift

3835
03:48:04.040 --> 03:48:08.159
lever in the wrecked car. The ridge patterns conformed to

3836
03:48:08.239 --> 03:48:09.920
the smudges on the wrench touser.

3837
03:48:10.319 --> 03:48:11.600
The conclusion is obvious.

3838
03:48:12.239 --> 03:48:14.319
At the very least, it placed the maker of those

3839
03:48:14.399 --> 03:48:15.760
finger prints in contact with.

3840
03:48:15.799 --> 03:48:20.120
A murdered woman in the murder car with the murder weapon.

3841
03:48:20.799 --> 03:48:23.360
It looks so as if he pulled off the road,

3842
03:48:23.840 --> 03:48:27.600
did the job, then started the car down grade and

3843
03:48:27.799 --> 03:48:29.079
jumped hers.

3844
03:48:29.239 --> 03:48:33.000
Probably the unlocked door on the driver's side would indicate that.

3845
03:48:33.840 --> 03:48:35.600
But what about this prince? I told her try and

3846
03:48:35.680 --> 03:48:38.840
get we have'm sir lifted him neatly. I was saving

3847
03:48:38.879 --> 03:48:43.440
that for the last, sir. You see they match? Yes,

3848
03:48:43.840 --> 03:48:48.719
very good, Oliver is clever well. Murders usual in amateur's crime,

3849
03:48:48.799 --> 03:48:51.840
isn't it, Sergeant? What about the men to identify him?

3850
03:48:51.959 --> 03:48:53.559
They'll be in London in the morning, Sir.

3851
03:49:00.120 --> 03:49:01.040
To Sergeant Williams.

3852
03:49:01.079 --> 03:49:05.639
The case seemed complete, the inspector was still somewhat cautious.

3853
03:49:06.680 --> 03:49:08.879
It will stick, sir, in any court.

3854
03:49:09.239 --> 03:49:12.319
I'll feel better if we have the motive, Sergeant. I

3855
03:49:12.600 --> 03:49:13.559
like a complete case.

3856
03:49:14.520 --> 03:49:19.559
Identifications have been upset before, and even fingerprints give him

3857
03:49:19.559 --> 03:49:20.239
a good motive.

3858
03:49:20.360 --> 03:49:23.920
We'll hang the gentleman. In fact, we may be able

3859
03:49:23.959 --> 03:49:32.879
to see he hung himself with his own cleverness. Inspector

3860
03:49:32.879 --> 03:49:40.520
all here, hmm, I see very good, Davis. Oh, I'll

3861
03:49:40.600 --> 03:49:42.920
just keep your eye on the place, Williams, and I

3862
03:49:42.959 --> 03:49:43.799
will be along directly.

3863
03:49:44.559 --> 03:49:45.920
Get your head, sergeant, Very good, sir.

3864
03:49:46.239 --> 03:49:47.440
Our quarry has gone calling on.

3865
03:49:47.479 --> 03:49:49.040
My lady, and so we.

3866
03:49:51.840 --> 03:49:54.840
The police car sped silently through the London streets out

3867
03:49:54.879 --> 03:49:57.159
to a pleasant suburb. He drew up to the curb,

3868
03:49:57.280 --> 03:50:00.360
near a small house detached from its neighbors, wanted by

3869
03:50:00.360 --> 03:50:03.000
a hedge and trees. A man stepped out of the

3870
03:50:03.040 --> 03:50:05.520
shadows spoke softly to the inspector. He remained at the

3871
03:50:05.600 --> 03:50:08.040
car as the inspector in the searcheant walked to the

3872
03:50:08.040 --> 03:50:10.719
front door of the house and rang the bill.

3873
03:50:12.319 --> 03:50:17.760
Yes, Miss Jeffrey, missus Dorothy Jeffrey, that's right. My name

3874
03:50:17.879 --> 03:50:23.760
is hall Cee, I D identification. Maybe come in, I

3875
03:50:23.959 --> 03:50:26.280
hear why not hang you?

3876
03:50:27.840 --> 03:50:28.680
What can I do for you?

3877
03:50:29.079 --> 03:50:31.840
Well, as a matter of fact, Miss Jeffrey, we stopped

3878
03:50:31.840 --> 03:50:34.879
by to see your caller, a mister Marchin Beach.

3879
03:50:35.000 --> 03:50:38.799
I believe, inspector. Well, this is a pleasure to see

3880
03:50:38.879 --> 03:50:41.040
all the way out here, is it, mister Beach. Of

3881
03:50:41.120 --> 03:50:44.280
course you know why they heard, don't you. I assume

3882
03:50:44.319 --> 03:50:45.120
you saw me come by.

3883
03:50:45.520 --> 03:50:47.719
Wait a minute, what's going on here?

3884
03:50:47.879 --> 03:50:48.319
Don't you know?

3885
03:50:48.360 --> 03:50:49.520
Miss Jeffrey, I know.

3886
03:50:49.639 --> 03:50:54.000
The idea inspectors dust, don't drop in or come by, Martin?

3887
03:50:54.319 --> 03:50:57.239
Have you been up to something? I'll not stay out

3888
03:50:57.280 --> 03:50:57.399
of it.

3889
03:50:57.520 --> 03:50:59.000
If we're to be married, I've a right to know

3890
03:51:00.159 --> 03:51:01.799
to tell mister Beach about his wife.

3891
03:51:02.799 --> 03:51:03.120
Wife.

3892
03:51:04.239 --> 03:51:05.879
You never mentioned a wife, Martin.

3893
03:51:06.000 --> 03:51:08.520
You're not arresting the inspector have his home and asleep

3894
03:51:08.520 --> 03:51:09.120
when she was killed?

3895
03:51:09.159 --> 03:51:12.559
Inn keeper says not, Beach. So does the petrol station owner.

3896
03:51:13.479 --> 03:51:15.360
So does a conduct with the train you took back

3897
03:51:15.360 --> 03:51:16.399
to London for Middlebury.

3898
03:51:16.479 --> 03:51:17.399
I said, you're not taking me in.

3899
03:51:17.719 --> 03:51:18.479
You're not, You're not.

3900
03:51:21.159 --> 03:51:23.760
There are prince DAWs into the garden, well covered front

3901
03:51:23.799 --> 03:51:27.799
from back, Miss Jeffrey, he won't get far. It's his warning.

3902
03:51:28.040 --> 03:51:32.040
He'll stop running now. This is not the expected way

3903
03:51:32.120 --> 03:51:35.760
to break an engagement, to be mad. Yes, I understand, miss,

3904
03:51:36.360 --> 03:51:37.360
but you'll get over it.

3905
03:51:38.319 --> 03:51:41.680
This manner of ending or relationship is far less permanent

3906
03:51:42.000 --> 03:51:44.799
than the one your fans used to gain his freedom.

3907
03:51:44.520 --> 03:51:49.200
From his wife. You know, miss, the chances are quite good,

3908
03:51:49.280 --> 03:51:50.319
but they've got a way of it.

3909
03:51:51.559 --> 03:51:55.200
If you hadn't written some fake love letters, I'm forgotten

3910
03:51:55.239 --> 03:51:58.600
to hide a certain open end wrench.

3911
03:52:02.840 --> 03:52:06.319
And today the open end wrench can be seen in

3912
03:52:06.440 --> 03:52:09.920
its special place in the Black Museum.

3913
03:52:15.440 --> 03:52:18.360
Orson Wells will be back with you in just a moment.

3914
03:52:20.360 --> 03:52:23.520
It's an old guard, of course, may have worked many times.

3915
03:52:24.440 --> 03:52:27.879
Commit a murder, wreck an automobile to cover its traces.

3916
03:52:28.520 --> 03:52:31.719
It might have worked this time if Martin Beech had

3917
03:52:31.799 --> 03:52:35.520
known that dead bodies do not bruise. If he'd been

3918
03:52:35.639 --> 03:52:38.120
really clever, and it succeeded in burning the car.

3919
03:52:38.239 --> 03:52:44.639
And the body. If if if, But he was not

3920
03:52:44.799 --> 03:52:45.360
really clever.

3921
03:52:46.280 --> 03:52:50.239
His cleverness failed him failed him at eight o'clock one

3922
03:52:50.319 --> 03:52:56.360
morning in Dartmoor Prison. As for Dorothy Jeffrey, she disappeared

3923
03:52:56.479 --> 03:52:59.760
when she had come into the great anonymity, which is London.

3924
03:53:01.719 --> 03:53:04.479
That's until next time we meet in the same.

3925
03:53:04.319 --> 03:53:07.200
Place for another story about the Black Museum.

3926
03:53:08.120 --> 03:53:10.680
I remain, as always obediently yours.

3927
03:53:27.920 --> 03:53:36.440
Oh well, it certainly is almost early. I suppose you

3928
03:53:36.559 --> 03:53:40.520
should get home, and I should prepare to go to

3929
03:53:40.760 --> 03:53:47.120
wherever it is I come from. Hopefully it'll be as

3930
03:53:48.040 --> 03:53:52.360
holly and jolly as you've been. I do hope to

3931
03:53:52.440 --> 03:53:55.520
see you here again. I'll be right here at the

3932
03:53:55.600 --> 03:54:01.040
same time and same place. But if you could do

3933
03:54:01.239 --> 03:54:06.239
me one favor. As you make your way home, as

3934
03:54:06.319 --> 03:54:12.680
you eye the bright lights and wonderful smells baking cookies

3935
03:54:12.879 --> 03:54:17.239
and incense, as you lay your head on your pillow

3936
03:54:17.959 --> 03:54:22.159
waiting for the tap tap tap on the roof, one moment,

3937
03:54:23.120 --> 03:54:28.520
just one moment, be thankful for what you have. I'll

3938
03:54:28.639 --> 03:54:29.399
be seeing you
