Unknown Broadcast drifts back through the Weekly Spooky feed with four old-time radio horror stories, and I do hope you’ve left the door unlatched. Tonight’s signal carries phantom fingers across piano keys, ancient Egypt breathing through a cursed relic, a rain-soaked household trying to keep murder in the family, and a final little lesson in debt, guilt, and the sort of arithmetic that is never settled in ledgers alone.

Classic OTR horror, vintage radio suspense, supernatural mystery, gothic dread, and strange old broadcasts are all alive and whispering here — which is inconvenient for the dead, of course, but a delight for the rest of us.   
     
🖐️ The Hand That Refused to DieA brilliant concert pianist loses his right hand and with it, so he believes, his life. But grief is a poor physician, and the unseen is rarely content to stay unseen. Somewhere between despair, devotion, and the spirit of creation itself, something reaches back.
💍 The Ring of ThothAncient Egypt has a tiresome habit of refusing to remain ancient. A strange ring, an older secret, and a trail that stretches far beyond the comfort of the modern world invite you into a story where immortality feels less like a blessing and more like a sentence.
🌧️ Wet SaturdayRain falls, nerves fray, and a respectable family begins the familiar work of deciding which truth can be hidden and which body cannot. The house is full of panic, calculation, and that particular kind of politeness people adopt when everything has already gone horribly wrong.
📒 The AccountingAnd then, for the final tally, a Whistler tale. Money goes wandering, consciences go dim, and somebody discovers that every lie eventually presents itself for inspection. Some sums can be delayed. Few are forgiven.

So come closer. Four tales. Four thresholds. Four opportunities to mistake a warning for an invitation. And if some voice in the dark sounds as though it’s trying to help you, well… I wouldn’t make too much of that.

1
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:14.039
Well, good to see you again, my dear. Oh what's that?

2
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:15.240
Oh?

3
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:19.960
I'm feeling much better than when we last spoke. But

4
00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:24.600
thank you for inquiring, and of course for your company

5
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:30.559
as I made my way through such an ailment of sorts.

6
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:36.479
Please please get comfortable on my favorite chair. The tea

7
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:41.719
is almost done. I think it's time to drink something

8
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:51.000
warm and hear something chilly, don't you. To be perfectly honest,

9
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:55.719
I feel better than ever. I'm happy to know that

10
00:00:56.079 --> 00:01:01.600
my well being is intact, in fact act, I feel

11
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:04.719
like I have a lot in common with the hand

12
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:06.680
that refused to die.

13
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:17.000
The CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents.

14
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:31.640
Come in. Welcome, I'm e. G. Marshall.

15
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:37.400
Welcome this time to a tale of the supernatural. Not frightened,

16
00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:46.239
not in the least horrifying, but intriguing, mystifying, strange. We

17
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:49.159
all of us know that in this world there is

18
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.400
a power greater than ourselves.

19
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:57.799
Call it what you will, God, a force, the universal conscience.

20
00:01:58.120 --> 00:01:59.000
It exists.

21
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:03.840
Some of us have experienced it, felt its touch in

22
00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:07.280
one way or another, but few have met with it

23
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:12.039
in so unusual a way. As a celebrated concert pianist

24
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:14.199
Anton Wahlberg.

25
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:22.400
If what you say is true, it is anton.

26
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:28.199
I know it is. Nothing is impossible. The only thing

27
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:29.680
it I lost my.

28
00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:33.560
Hand, my right hand, in that accident. My hand is gone.

29
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:36.560
It no longer exists, and yet I am able to

30
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:37.360
play it through.

31
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.960
Your hand longer exists. But the spirit of your hand does.

32
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:47.319
Only the body does, and to the spirit.

33
00:02:47.159 --> 00:02:48.280
Will never.

34
00:02:57.599 --> 00:03:02.240
Our mystery drama, The Hand that Refuse to Die, was

35
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.080
written especially for the Mystery Theater by George Lother and

36
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:11.439
stars Mandel Kramer. It is sponsored in part by Buick

37
00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:15.800
Motor Division and Anheuser Busch Incorporated, brewers of Budweiser.

38
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.039
I'll be back shortly with that one. Say.

39
00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.680
Do you know what happens this time of year? The

40
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:25.520
swallows come back to Capistrano. Nope, the buzzards come.

41
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:26.840
Back to Hinckley Ridge, Ohio.

42
00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:27.280
No.

43
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.479
Bulldogs all over the world begin to shed.

44
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:31.520
Not even close.

45
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:34.240
This, my friend, is the time of year when you

46
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.520
can get a super little deal on the practical but

47
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:40.039
elegant Buick Apollo, And just between you and me, it

48
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.439
may very well be the best chance you'll ever have

49
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:43.560
to buy a Buick.

50
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:46.400
I could have sworn this was Buzzet Day in Hinckley.

51
00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:55.560
It makes good, then don't overdue and get over done.

52
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:58.960
Burnt a can hurt your skin.

53
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:01.560
Let the cown on in.

54
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.800
Constant over exposure to his son could be harmful in

55
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:11.520
your American Cancer Society advises moderation or protective clothing or

56
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:12.759
sunscreening motions.

57
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.479
Remember the count on it.

58
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:19.560
You can paint your home in the same muted earth

59
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:23.199
tone colors our colonial ancestors used to paint theirs. Hi

60
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:25.360

The colonials used dyes.

From roots and barks and mix them with buttermilk, of

67
00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:42.279

your nearby participating True Value hardware store. Psychics tell us

77
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:31.480
there is a life after death. Indeed, there are those

78
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:35.560
who believe there are many lives after death, and others

79
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:41.360
who hold a firm faith in reincarnation. We listen and

80
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:46.240
go on about our daily lives until something happens that

81
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:48.240
so affects our life.

82
00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:50.439
Marks it for good or ill.

83
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:57.160
That we know there is unquestionably something, some invisible power,

84
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:01.199
some unseen force of which we are apart.

85
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:04.000
Anthony Wahlberg began to.

86
00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:06.560
Realize this, and the day he came home from the

87
00:06:06.600 --> 00:06:09.600
hospital to his luxurious penthouse apartment.

88
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:15.399
In New York City, Welcome, O man, Lotty. You I

89
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:17.439
thought you were in Chicago with your young prodigies.

90
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:19.639
You can get along without old Lotty Stern for a

91
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:20.240
few days.

92
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:22.439
You arranged this, alexis no, my darling.

93
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.240
Nothing was arranged. Lottie wanted to be here when you

94
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.319
came home from the hospital, and here.

95
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:29.240
She is well arranged her not. You're more than a

96
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.120
pleasant surprise. Laddy, You're what I need. Ah.

97
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.279
You depend on your old teacher too much, but I'm

98
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:38.920
glad you do. It's very heartwarming for an ancient crone

99
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.560
like me to be wanted, needed by so handsome a

100
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:44.240
man for talented.

101
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:48.199
A man talented. I have only one hand now, Laddy,

102
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:51.600
this left one. What good is it to be handsome?

103
00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:53.040
What use the talent? Latty?

104
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.000
I need you too to cheer him up? And of

105
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.319
course you are depressed under the press.

106
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:02.720
There's no word to do describe my despair, Lotty. Why

107
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:05.800
did this happen? Why to me? I was at the

108
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:08.240
peak of my career. I was Anton Wahlberg, one of

109
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:12.800
the most celebrated concert pianists in the world. I was

110
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:16.439
seven weeks ago. I no longer am ended everything my career,

111
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:16.920
in my life.

112
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:21.040
And there is never an end without a beginning, Anton.

113
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:25.319
The closing of one door is nearly the opening of another.

114
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:28.040
And what door might be opened to me without my.

115
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:33.240
Right hand, only God knows, and you will too when

116
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:34.120
you seek it.

117
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:35.560
Now.

118
00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:38.879
Speaking of which I asked either to serve tea in

119
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:41.639
the music room, come let us go and seek their

120
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:43.759
chext and idea, Lotty and Tona.

121
00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:46.879
I I'm not sure I ever want to enter my

122
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:48.480
music room, my study again.

123
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:51.879
Oh my god, ever mind the sympathy, Alexis. It is

124
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:56.360
the worst thing in the world. Come on into the

125
00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:00.399
music room, I loty tern order you.

126
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:04.160
You'll hear me, Anton, Robbie. I don't think I can

127
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:05.759
bear even the sight of the piano.

128
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:15.040
Anton. You must.

129
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:13.959
So.

130
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.439
Your Aida has laid out a fine tea for us,

131
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:21.360
your camas, and which is your favorite chocolate's key?

132
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:25.959
Open the keyboard, keyboard, a piano keyboard, Alexis, I told

133
00:08:25.959 --> 00:08:27.759
you it was to be closed and never opened again.

134
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:28.279
No, you did?

135
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:29.600
You promised me, you promise.

136
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:32.399
I checked my promise. The keyboard was closed when I

137
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:34.799
left to bring you home from the hospital. I checked

138
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:38.440
it personally. Perhaps Aida, No, No, I gave her strict daughters.

139
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:40.559
She was not even to touch the piano, even to

140
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:41.120
dust it.

141
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:43.320
I do that, I said, I cannot bear the sight

142
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.480
of the keys. Close the keyboard. I may not closing

143
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:47.000
my felton.

144
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:52.960
Dear your trembling. Now, some good strong tea will take

145
00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:54.799
care of that, Alexis, darling, will.

146
00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:57.000
You polly last of the day, I get an ounce

147
00:08:57.080 --> 00:08:58.080
of sympathy from you?

148
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.279
That will be the day I would hold my breath.

149
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:08.720
I'm more of this bread, Doctor don Josin Potter.

150
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:13.279
Oh, thank you, Alexis. Yes, damn, there goes my fork.

151
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:17.519
Ada another fork from mister with only one hand, I'll

152
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:20.879
never eat again. I'll have to give you some lessons

153
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:25.200
in surgical techniques. Anton, surgical techniques. There's a surgeon. I

154
00:09:25.240 --> 00:09:27.600
can assure you. You'll be a stone. That is what

155
00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:31.559
can be done with one hand. I know if anyone

156
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:34.480
does you do, old friend, you saved my life. No

157
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:39.679
doctor in Blaneyville, Butcher. You mustn't say that. Aunt John.

158
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:42.759
Remember he had to remove your hand to save your life.

159
00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:43.639
He had no option.

160
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:46.960
What was that?

161
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:51.240
It couldn't be, Boddy, did you hear it? There it

162
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:54.120
is again. Someone is fooling around with the piano in

163
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:58.600
my study at this wait, I'll go with you, but you.

164
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:02.240
Oh you know the.

165
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:05.120
Piano keyboard is open again again. And yes, before I

166
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:06.960
came home from the hospital this afternoon, I asked a

167
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:08.879
Lexus to make sure the little the keyboard was closed.

168
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:10.080
It was when I left here.

169
00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:13.000
It was open when I got home. I myself closed

170
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:18.480
it then and now it's open again. Must be someone

171
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:24.399
and who'stuck that middle Sea twice? It's curious, it's beyond reason.

172
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:28.919
It's incredible. Close the list, leave it opened, and let's

173
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.519
rejoin Matty in the manning room.

174
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:36.200
Marty, we found the keyboard open again. Who was in

175
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:37.399
there in the music's room.

176
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:37.919
No one.

177
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:40.240
Someone struck me the scene.

178
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:41.840
No madam staring there? There was no one there.

179
00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:45.799
Someone was, perhaps you could not see him or her.

180
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:50.039
You mean a spirit, a ghost? Yes, I'm afraid I

181
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:51.279
don't believe in ghosts.

182
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:51.720
I do.

183
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:54.159
Come now, Lottie, don't tell us you've ever seen and no.

184
00:10:55.159 --> 00:11:00.240
Not seen, but I have filled them near me. Say

185
00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.320
the truth, Anton, They're always near me.

186
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:07.039
You mean the ghosts of those you knew Announschwitz. Yes,

187
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:09.360
Madame Stern.

188
00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:12.240
Dear, don't be offended. But she prefers not to talk

189
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:12.559
about it.

190
00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:14.440
Oh, I understand. I'm sorry.

191
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:15.799
No, no, no, no, it's all right.

192
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:19.399
Have some more potatoes and gravy. That will solve everything.

193
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:20.360
It helps.

194
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:24.200
You, all right, it's all right, Antonia.

195
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:30.399
Please, everyone says the one. I get to thinking that

196
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:35.279
maybe it might have been saved if if you Gordon

197
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:38.639
and operated instead of their parents. Here you smashed your

198
00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:41.919
car into a tree. Your right hand went through the windshield.

199
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:44.720
It was so cut up. So man, you could offended.

200
00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:49.320
I see it in your eyes. You could have, Antona.

201
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:52.960
I'm not so sure, but there is a doubt in

202
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:55.440
your mind. That little doubt means I might never have

203
00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:58.279
lost my right hand. I'm darling, excuse me.

204
00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:04.960
Excuse me. I must go away. No, no, you stay here,

205
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:11.679
said please, my dear. You are a wonderful wife to Anton,

206
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.879
a beautiful and capable woman. But at times like this

207
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:26.639
he needs Lottie Stan all right, all right, all right,

208
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:29.279
get it out of the system. Come and let it come,

209
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:35.000
all of it. I know, I know who would know

210
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:39.480
better my hands. You see, you know what they did

211
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:39.879
to them.

212
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:42.919
They start at Auschwitz, and I know they broke your

213
00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:46.000
fingers one by one, and when they hear it broke

214
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:49.600
then again. In your career, Laddie, that was ended too,

215
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:55.720
Yes it was, and I felt well blearn no words.

216
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:00.720
How can you describe the sudden darkness and the soul,

217
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:05.600
the inteness in the heart, the physical pain. It was bad.

218
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:13.519
Each finger smacked it was horrible, the pain unbearable. But

219
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:17.600
all this nothing compared to what went on inside me.

220
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:23.440
So my darling, Anton I know what you are going through.

221
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:29.120
I know, Laddie. What am I to do? Tell me?

222
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:29.919
What am I to do?

223
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:32.799
What everyone does when all else fails?

224
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:37.960
That turned to God, Laddie. I don't believe in God,

225
00:13:38.120 --> 00:13:39.320
not after what happened to me.

226
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:40.799
Did you believe before?

227
00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:43.399
I don't know. I never thought about it much.

228
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:51.799
Oh wait, let me hello, No, this is Madame Stern.

229
00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:57.759
Yes he is one moment, it's for you, Aton summoning

230
00:13:57.919 --> 00:13:59.039
Bill's Stone.

231
00:13:59.600 --> 00:14:01.799
Oh oh yes, yes, a friend of mine works for

232
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:10.679
the United Presson Hello Bill? Oh well thanks. Oh I'm

233
00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:11.399
going to be all right.

234
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:17.360
Yeah.

235
00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:21.720
Why strangled?

236
00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:25.960
Gordon and I thought that on the phone something's impossible.

237
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:28.600
But Bill, I know you better than to think. You

238
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:30.000
plenty kind of sick joke.

239
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:30.200
On.

240
00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:35.519
I don't care what they say at the FBI. Somebody

241
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:42.480
made a mistake. Yes, Hold, thanks Bill, thanks for calling.

242
00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:47.279
I'm done. What is it? That was Bill Stone? You

243
00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:50.200
know Bill? Of course? Well he said his stories just

244
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:52.360
coming over the wire from Bleanieville. So that's where you

245
00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:56.039
add your accident, just outside Blannieville. Yes, Doctor Berenger was

246
00:14:56.159 --> 00:15:00.399
found dead this afternoon in his office, strangle.

247
00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:03.240
Strangled by one hand.

248
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:08.960
One hand the bruises shows us that one hand strangled

249
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.279
him to death, a right hand.

250
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:14.559
This is the strangest.

251
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.159
More than strange like this, it's impossible.

252
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:17.559
Why impossible?

253
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:22.039
Because Lotti, they say it was my right hand that

254
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:32.039
strangled him. Strange bizarre.

255
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:37.879
Words, unless, like Anton Walberg, you had experienced them, then

256
00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:45.600
strange bizarre, macabre change from words to something alive in

257
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:52.480
your bloodstream where you're experiencing them, now you're imagining them,

258
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:57.279
and there is nothing more alive than your imagination. I'll

259
00:15:57.279 --> 00:15:59.080
be back shortly with that too.

260
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:06.559
May I help yourself? One hair shirt please?

261
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:09.720
At one bed of nails and that cat of nine

262
00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:11.480
tails for self gratulation?

263
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:15.559
What's your rush? Why try for sainthood in one week?

264
00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:16.919
And it's not that.

265
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:20.320
It's just that my old hair shirt is at the cleaners,

266
00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:23.639
my bed is getting dull, and I whip has been

267
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:24.600
going soft on me.

268
00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:29.600
You punish yourself a great deal by at what's coming

269
00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:32.279
to me? What isn't it a beat over much? Oh?

270
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:34.399
I deserve more than I ever get?

271
00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:38.960
What capabine tails coming up? And do you want the

272
00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:42.000
bed of nails, whip or without dissolve?

273
00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:46.559
Can so your appointments for self punishment? Break the whip.

274
00:16:47.039 --> 00:16:49.240
You have no right to treat one of God's creatures.

275
00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:54.080
You in that way he forgives you, forgive yourself a

276
00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:56.879
nudge towards self respect from the Mennonite churches.

277
00:16:58.000 --> 00:16:58.279
I do.

278
00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:00.639
This is your host for Name the Bank, Bob Heartram.

279
00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:04.319
Here's tonight's first guest, mister Ralph Tishman. Welcome to name

280
00:17:04.319 --> 00:17:05.319
the bank, mister Tischmand.

281
00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:05.720
Thank you.

282
00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:07.680
How if you just take their place inside our.

283
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:09.440
Name the bank, think tank, we will get on with

284
00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:09.839
the show.

285
00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:12.480
Can you hear me all right in there, mister Tischmand, Yes,

286
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:14.799
I hear it's warming here though.

287
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:18.279
Fine. Now may I have the first clue? Please, mister Tishmand.

288
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:20.400
There's a bank in Dallas that offers a multi service

289
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:22.759
checking account for only three dollars a month and gives

290
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:24.960
you ten thousand dollars accidental death insurance.

291
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:28.440
Can you name the bank? Federal Reserve Bank.

292
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:31.160
I'm sorry, mister Tischmand, but that's not quite right.

293
00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:33.720
You see, this bank gets local and national discounts, reduced

294
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:35.200
rates on hotels and car rentals.

295
00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:37.119
I know they belong to fbiice.

296
00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:39.519
That's tried, mister Tischmand, but you see, we need the

297
00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:40.480
name so try again.

298
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:43.359
Unlimited check writing, no minimum balance, all detection you need.

299
00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:44.480
I know it, I know it.

300
00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:50.039
Exchange Bank, Exchange Bank, you win, mister Tischmand, you name the.

301
00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:52.759
Bank, the tab pay Center account from Exchange Bank.

302
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:53.920
Harry Hines at Pockingbird.

303
00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:56.119
No gimmicks, just a good deal. Hey, let me out

304
00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:56.759
of this tank.

305
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:12.319
Certainly, no greater tragedy could happen to a concert pianist

306
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:16.200
and the loss of his right hand. And that is

307
00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:20.759
what happened to Anton Walburg seven weeks ago. Now, in

308
00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:23.960
the music room of his expensive penthouse apartment in New York,

309
00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:28.319
Anton Walburg has received news that shocks.

310
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:31.119
Him and his guests. They've made a mistake at the FBI.

311
00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:32.440
That's all, darling.

312
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:33.960
Where did the FBI come into this?

313
00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:37.319
The hand that strangled Barrenger touched things in his office

314
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:40.799
left Prince. The Blaineville police wired them to the FBI.

315
00:18:40.960 --> 00:18:43.960
And my prints are on file. Some years ago, Gordon,

316
00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:45.640
I took out a two and a half million dollar

317
00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:49.160
insurance policy on my hands, thank god I did, and

318
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:52.319
the insurance company naturally one of my fingerprints identification I

319
00:18:52.440 --> 00:18:55.839
see and the prints on file at the FBI matched

320
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:57.680
the Prince found in Barreng's office.

321
00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:00.960
A mistake. I doteed the stays.

322
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:03.759
With finger prints, Lotty, what else could it be? Lotty?

323
00:19:03.759 --> 00:19:08.079
Would you stop looking so mysterious? You see no hand bloody?

324
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:11.960
It was cut off here. It's that, is it? That's

325
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:14.440
a curious thing to say, Madame.

326
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:19.319
Stern, Doctor Lungstill, what would they have done with anton

327
00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:20.160
severed hand?

328
00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:23.559
Well, it would have gone to the nearest mortuary.

329
00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:25.799
Very likely the coroner or.

330
00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:29.720
Medical examiner would examine it. Then it would have been destroyed.

331
00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:32.440
The hand, but not the spirits of the hand.

332
00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:34.720
Good Lord, we're back in the psychic world now.

333
00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:38.720
I believe you don't you will?

334
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:42.079
I very much doubt that, Lottie. What I do believe

335
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:44.799
is that my hand did not, could not have strangled

336
00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:48.519
doctor Barringer if it were possible, which it isn't. Why

337
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.200
Why would my hand strangle Barranger?

338
00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:53.720
You knew the answer, Anton.

339
00:19:55.519 --> 00:20:01.920
The hand could have been saved because it was. And revenge?

340
00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:03.079
What else?

341
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:05.559
Nonsense? That's what else, alexis.

342
00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:08.920
At least I asked you when going to dinner tonight

343
00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:11.960
to help cheer Anton up. It's turning out to be

344
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:15.759
the most depressing evening one can imagine now if you

345
00:20:15.839 --> 00:20:17.759
don't mind, from here on in we're going to talk

346
00:20:17.799 --> 00:20:27.599
about cheerful things.

347
00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:35.880
Come in, Alexis said, you're in the music room. You

348
00:20:35.960 --> 00:20:37.240
didn't want to be disturbed.

349
00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:38.640
Naturally, you disturbed me.

350
00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:41.799
I must talk to you. And you have shut yourself

351
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:43.359
away for nearly a week.

352
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:45.240
Now, Laia, I don't want to see anyone you.

353
00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:47.319
Now, Anton as your cool.

354
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:53.119
Coach, one handed concert pianist, right as your business manager,

355
00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:55.440
you should reduce your fee by half. I'm only half

356
00:20:55.480 --> 00:20:56.720
a man less, all.

357
00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:58.640
Right, as your friends.

358
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:04.240
Yes, lady, yes you are that and the best time

359
00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:05.039
I ever had.

360
00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:08.559
So then you listen to me. You cannot go on

361
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:10.720
burying yourself in this room.

362
00:21:10.839 --> 00:21:12.079
Why not? I'm dead?

363
00:21:12.240 --> 00:21:15.759
You are anything but dead, all right. So you have

364
00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:19.640
one hand. There is much you can do with one hand.

365
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:24.839
You can teach this. I did too. At first, almost

366
00:21:25.119 --> 00:21:28.960
I couldn't bring myself to it. Today I am glad

367
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:33.720
I did. It has been an experience as rewarding, well,

368
00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:37.839
almost as rewarding as claim.

369
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:40.079
I find that hard to believe. Ladi.

370
00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:44.599
You are going to stop brooding. You are going to

371
00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:47.880
come back into the world, Antone, you are going to

372
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:52.359
become active again. And take an interest in life, starting

373
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:57.039
tonight tonight when new Productyafiakland, when I left in Chicago

374
00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:01.079
to come to you, he is performing tonight at Carnegie.

375
00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:04.519
Now I want you to hear Raphael. You must hear

376
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:08.319
him because you are going to be his teacher, his coach.

377
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:11.160
You're his teacher, his coach, and I am old.

378
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:14.839
I am too old to handle the younger generation. Rafe'll

379
00:22:14.960 --> 00:22:19.240
need many things. You can give him your fingering, yes, Anton,

380
00:22:19.359 --> 00:22:24.039
I said you're fingering. You can demonstrate that with one hand,

381
00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:29.759
your interpretation, especially a Beethoven, and above all your dedication,

382
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:35.480
the need to to practice, to practice practice, which reminds me.

383
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:41.680
Have you practiced? You know, I think you're going mad. Ladie,

384
00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:43.839
practice with just my left hand.

385
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:50.200
Keep the piano in tune at least piano. Did you

386
00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:50.640
hear that.

387
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:55.599
Piano string los intention happens to a piano and doesn't played?

388
00:22:55.799 --> 00:22:58.160
So do me and the piano a favorite player?

389
00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:00.440
Right?

390
00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:06.359
But you'll come tonight any choice, No one thing more

391
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:07.559
I have.

392
00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:12.640
Not good news? Is there any other kind? Be serious?

393
00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:13.000
Sent on?

394
00:23:13.440 --> 00:23:18.079
This has to do with money. About the insurance on

395
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:20.960
your hands that the two and a half million. It

396
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:26.240
maybe the company isn't going to pay it now? No, no,

397
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:30.720
Come and calm yourself. There's nothing definite about this yet.

398
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:33.839
But I told this morning with the senior vice president.

399
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:36.680
He asked me to come and see him. I went.

400
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:41.640
He said that according to the Bladyville Police reports the accidents,

401
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:44.279
well you were at.

402
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:47.400
Face me at falls and.

403
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:54.400
Did you fall asleep at the wheel? You You wouldn't

404
00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:56.720
lie to Latin, now, would you?

405
00:23:56.759 --> 00:23:57.119
Did you?

406
00:23:57.920 --> 00:24:01.039
Yes? Tell me I was taking a lot of exhausted

407
00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:04.039
Let's schedule you set up for me a night in Atlanta,

408
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:05.680
a night at Ache and a night and notton Rouge,

409
00:24:05.680 --> 00:24:07.440
a night here, a night there, traveling every day. What

410
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:08.640
would you expect?

411
00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:12.400
You could have told me that you are getting older?

412
00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:14.000
All right?

413
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:14.279
Now?

414
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:18.359
Tonight my place for dinner and then to go onto comic.

415
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:20.400
What about the turn I have many in my insurance.

416
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:21.440
We'll see.

417
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:25.519
May have to sue Bladdy. We will have to sue.

418
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:28.279
I nearly broke Lonny. Without that money, I might as

419
00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:31.720
well be dead. I will be. I'll see to that.

420
00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:34.640
What do you mean I mean I can't take anymore, Lottie,

421
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:40.599
I can't suffer anymore. I'll kill myself. What was that?

422
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:48.200
Need do you ask, what's an unseen hand an invisible hand?

423
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:50.119
You are a hand? Anton?

424
00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:53.160
Oh no, what else?

425
00:24:53.759 --> 00:24:58.319
But it's impossible. And if it were possible, why.

426
00:24:58.440 --> 00:25:02.599
Because you said you would kill yourself and your hand.

427
00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:08.000
The spirit of your hand protested, but it is dead.

428
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:20.960
Here we are the one of one through one or

429
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:24.680
four after your alexis sancularly know you Anton, he has

430
00:25:24.759 --> 00:25:27.319
to sit between us. What a pity that Gordon could

431
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:30.640
make it at the last minute while emergency operations. Too bad?

432
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:33.839
When he will hear my Raphael another time? Or he

433
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:39.279
will someday be famous. You are silent, Anton, You say nothing.

434
00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:40.559
What's to say?

435
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:42.599
No, if you don't always have to say something, you

436
00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:45.200
could be just pleasant.

437
00:25:45.680 --> 00:25:46.160
I will be.

438
00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:48.200
I can think of anything to be pleasant about.

439
00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:51.519
Rafiel Climb will change your mood. He will play this

440
00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:53.440
shop and fantasy in from two.

441
00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:56.039
It is one of your favorites, your favorite. I shall

442
00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:59.799
never be able to play again. Oh what is it? Angel?

443
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:00.799
Don't look like?

444
00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:03.480
Enough is enough talking about my face?

445
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:08.880
You did Tom He did not look at his cheek. Yes,

446
00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:13.079
it's red, as if someone did slap him. You as

447
00:26:13.119 --> 00:26:23.640
sweet Wolfe look Alexei thinking after young and handsome? Oh, yes,

448
00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:26.079
that too is good for the box office.

449
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:40.440
The women would go mad over him.

450
00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:42.640
And what do you think?

451
00:26:43.880 --> 00:26:44.720
I don't know yet.

452
00:26:49.200 --> 00:26:55.400
By his arm made your client is right on. Something's happened.

453
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:57.160
He has troublesome sort of trouble.

454
00:26:57.319 --> 00:27:02.839
Gods, horse, Look, Maddy, this is unbelievable.

455
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:07.920
Right armage hanging by his side, but he's left hand,

456
00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:10.920
please for both right and the left. I can't believe

457
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:11.599
this is happening.

458
00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:14.880
I cannot believe it one hand. But he's doing it.

459
00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:15.519
It's a miracle.

460
00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:30.880
Yes, his stressing room. Come horif why did you leave

461
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:32.119
this stage after the show?

462
00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:32.400
Pan?

463
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:35.839
I can't go on, Loddie, after performing a miracle.

464
00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:38.240
You can't go on. The entire audience is on its

465
00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:39.799
feet calling for you, and you.

466
00:27:39.880 --> 00:27:43.000
Can't go on after what just happened? What did happen

467
00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:47.599
out there, mister kleinb It was as if, oh, you're ant, Untoldbert. Yes,

468
00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:50.160
we'll go on and tell me what happened to you. Something

469
00:27:50.200 --> 00:27:53.920
some forced suddenly gripped my right arm and began to

470
00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:57.160
pull my hand, my right hand off the keyboard. I

471
00:27:58.480 --> 00:27:59.759
didn't know what was happening to me. I thought I

472
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:02.160
was had some sort of seizure. I was going mad

473
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:06.200
or I don't know what. And then my left hand

474
00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:07.640
kept playing.

475
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:10.519
You mean you kept playing with your left No.

476
00:28:10.319 --> 00:28:12.920
No, no, no, Loddy, no my right arms. It was forced

477
00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:15.720
down to my side, and I was scared. I was

478
00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:18.079
so scared. I couldn't have gone on playing with my

479
00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:24.839
left and I didn't it did. Your left hand went

480
00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:28.839
on playing by itself. I certainly didn't go on playing.

481
00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:32.839
My left hand didn't even feel to be a part

482
00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:36.359
of me. I couldn't have done what my hand did,

483
00:28:36.400 --> 00:28:37.640
play for both the right.

484
00:28:37.519 --> 00:28:40.799
And the lead not to be so you must have prayed, bloody.

485
00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:43.799
How can you practice the impossible? The fantasy cannot be

486
00:28:43.839 --> 00:28:46.720
played with one hand? But you did it. No, not me.

487
00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:48.279
I don't know what, but.

488
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:50.640
Not me.

489
00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:54.680
There's no understanding this, no understanding it at all.

490
00:28:54.759 --> 00:28:57.279
We was talking of this later after the comes Bloody.

491
00:28:57.480 --> 00:28:59.960
I told you I can't go on. I'm I'm sure

492
00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:01.200
taken up of a bunch of nerves.

493
00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:03.519
Better you control your nerves and we return their money,

494
00:29:03.559 --> 00:29:06.279
and I pull yourself together. If you and go out there,

495
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:11.480
Lottie says mister kleinb There's greatness in you, but you'll

496
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:11.920
never reach it.

497
00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:16.480
If you let nerves take the upper HANDI I'll go

498
00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:21.039
back on then, Blood and Tom.

499
00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:24.880
Should you have sent him back on stage? He's terribly shaken.

500
00:29:25.079 --> 00:29:27.440
Must learn control, He must learn discipline.

501
00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:30.440
Discipline is everything, even the performing miracles.

502
00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:31.880
What do you mean, dear?

503
00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:39.400
No, you're not thought as foolish my thoughts, Klim. He's young, inexperience.

504
00:29:40.920 --> 00:29:44.119
I'm a veteran of a concert stage skill, practiced, experienced

505
00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:47.960
so well. If his left hand could perform like that,

506
00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:54.079
why not mine, Oh, my dear, in his hand. Yes,

507
00:29:54.119 --> 00:29:56.759
it seemed like a miracle. But was it? It moved

508
00:29:56.839 --> 00:29:58.960
up and down that keyboard so fast it appeared to

509
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:01.559
be in two places at once. So it's true, you

510
00:30:01.599 --> 00:30:02.119
know what I think?

511
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:02.720
What, dear?

512
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:05.640
Another foolish thought perhaps.

513
00:30:05.240 --> 00:30:05.400
But.

514
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:10.240
I think it was my hand that gripped his arm

515
00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:13.240
out there tonight. Not sure, I know, I know it's crazy,

516
00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:19.200
But could it be that the hand my hand? Why

517
00:30:19.319 --> 00:30:22.279
the spirit of my hand was trying to show me

518
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:23.920
what can be done with one hand?

519
00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:33.359
Can Anton Raahlberg possibly find enough faith in himself to

520
00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:39.960
well perform virtual miracles at the piano? Surely this seems

521
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:42.200
to be what the spirit of his hand is trying

522
00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:47.279
to tell him that he can and yet really now

523
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:48.480
is not.

524
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:51.200
The impossible impossible?

525
00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:59.480
We shall see when I returned shortly with Actree. Some

526
00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:02.519
recent church experts say you can't.

527
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:05.759
Taste the difference between beers. Well, if they're.

528
00:31:05.599 --> 00:31:09.319
Right, then Anheuser Bush wastes a barrel of time beechwood

529
00:31:09.319 --> 00:31:13.680
aging Budweiser. Only they don't think so. Brewing beer right

530
00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:17.640
does make a difference, and they're betting a bundle that

531
00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:21.519
you can taste the difference in bud. When it comes

532
00:31:21.559 --> 00:31:24.519
to brewing Budweiser, the Anheuser Bush choice is to go

533
00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:30.039
all the way because they still care about quality.

534
00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:34.680
Look at it this way.

535
00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:37.480
If the bud people have a choice between what some

536
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:41.079
experts say and what beer drinkers say.

537
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:44.599
Well you'd better believe they'll go with you. Beer drinkers.

538
00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:49.440
Every time when you say Budweiser, you said it all.

539
00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:52.519
Anheyser Busch, Saint.

540
00:31:52.319 --> 00:32:06.160
Louis, We're going to make September twenty seconds the biggest

special Times Herald report on the state of our state.

543
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:15.640
For months, our reporters have been busy collecting facts, and.

544
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:18.079
What they've come up with is an encyclopedia of information

545
00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:21.119
for busy people of all ages and interest. Did you know

546
00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:24.279
the Salesmanship Club of Dallas sponsored the first PGA tour here,

547
00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:27.839

Texas seventy five.

554
00:32:47.240 --> 00:33:03.079
It's another reason why the hair finally be retorted?

555
00:33:04.039 --> 00:33:07.839
What is spirit? What is it that lives in you

556
00:33:08.119 --> 00:33:08.599
and in me?

557
00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:12.880
That impels us to make supreme efforts now and then,

558
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:18.079
and nags us when we fail, and yes, leaves us

559
00:33:18.119 --> 00:33:23.160
in peace when we succeed. All religions teach that it

560
00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:26.559
is a spark of God that burns deep in our souls,

561
00:33:27.119 --> 00:33:29.839
and we are push here on this earth to learn

562
00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:35.319
how to fan that spark into flames. Anton Wohlberg has

563
00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:39.559
touched that tiny spark, but wonders now if he can

564
00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:41.200
fan it into flame.

565
00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:45.519
I can't do it. I can't. It's impossible. I was

566
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:46.920
a fool think it could be anything else.

567
00:33:47.000 --> 00:33:48.960
You have been sighing for less than a week.

568
00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:50.319
Should have tried it, all right.

569
00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:53.079
If you're climber that night, there was something supernatural it

570
00:33:53.200 --> 00:33:55.160
had to be. But this pan.

571
00:33:56.680 --> 00:33:59.799
All right, all right, I'm com you have tried to

572
00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:06.519
enough now and Tom, I must, I must speak to you.

573
00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:12.000
I spend several hours at the insurance company today. They

574
00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:15.800
had much to tell me, much to show me. There

575
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:19.119
is more than enough evidence to prove negligence on your part,

576
00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:23.079
and Tom, evidence that proves you are driving at approximately

577
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:26.119
seventy five miles an hour at a time when you're

578
00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:29.280
in an exhausted state and you must have fullen asleep

579
00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:29.920
at the wheel.

580
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:31.800
They deny the claim.

581
00:34:31.920 --> 00:34:36.599
Well, they offer a compromise, a settlement. Now you will

582
00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:39.159
beait a minute always. You will not this and you

583
00:34:39.239 --> 00:34:43.320
will that. Now please listen, and then if you want

584
00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:46.599
to throw a tentrum, I'm listening.

585
00:34:47.239 --> 00:34:47.719
All right.

586
00:34:48.440 --> 00:34:51.639
The terms of the policy are clear. They're all too clear.

587
00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:54.760
They are well within their rights, the company not to

588
00:34:54.800 --> 00:34:58.400
honor the claim. Still, you have paid the premium for

589
00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:01.159
many years and They wish to be with you, so

590
00:35:01.400 --> 00:35:04.880
they offer you the compromise. They settle for one hundred

591
00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:05.760
thousand dollars.

592
00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:08.480
Fair they settle too, And I have a million. For

593
00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:10.280
one hundred thousand. How long can I live on that?

594
00:35:10.280 --> 00:35:11.119
That's peanuts.

595
00:35:11.320 --> 00:35:14.679
So you will live on peanuts until you discipline your

596
00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:18.960
left hand to perform for the right one as well. Now,

597
00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:22.760
don't look at music. I'm crazy. It can be done.

598
00:35:22.920 --> 00:35:26.679
You saw it done. You saw the spirit of your

599
00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:29.639
hand pointing the way, showing you.

600
00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:32.000
You are not only old and fat, you are mad.

601
00:35:32.280 --> 00:35:35.960
Absolutely okay to come in, Ada said, we find you

602
00:35:36.000 --> 00:35:40.079
in the music room. Come in, Gordon, Come in, Madam Stern.

603
00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:41.760
Doctor Lunsdale. It's good to see you.

604
00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:45.800
I apologize again for missing your dinner the climb concert

605
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:47.840
the other night, but couldn't be helped.

606
00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:50.960
You are forgiving me well, Aunt John.

607
00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:54.559
Ye wanted to see me. Yes, yes, I'd like your opinion, Gordon,

608
00:35:55.119 --> 00:35:57.199
the opinion of a professional man, a man who knows

609
00:35:57.239 --> 00:35:59.079
what he's talking about when it comes to the human

610
00:35:59.119 --> 00:36:04.440
body and what it's cape below. Yes, Gordon, Raphael client

611
00:36:04.559 --> 00:36:07.079
did a remarkable thing the other night. I know. I

612
00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:10.639
read the critics the next day he did the impossible.

613
00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:15.840
I understand, but he did it? Laty, please Gordon what

614
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:17.800
I want to know? But I want you to tell me.

615
00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:25.840
Can I duplicate what client did play a piano concerto

616
00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:30.039
that requires two hands with only one? Yes, Lottie says

617
00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:33.119
I can. I say, I can't. I've tried for nearly

618
00:36:33.119 --> 00:36:37.480
a week now, and I find it impossible. In your opinion,

619
00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:41.280
if I were to go on trying, could I do it? Well?

620
00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:46.480
I've been thinking about what Klein did and puzzling over it,

621
00:36:46.559 --> 00:36:51.960
and frankly, I can't explain it. I understand his right

622
00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:55.639
arm suddenly became paralyzed. Is that so, Madame Stearne?

623
00:36:55.719 --> 00:36:56.719
You might put it that way?

624
00:36:56.880 --> 00:37:00.360
Oh what other way would there be? Well, that and

625
00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:03.679
the excitement of what happened, I'm afraid we all liked

626
00:37:03.719 --> 00:37:05.559
it a bit stupidly goodon. I'm ashamed to say that

627
00:37:05.599 --> 00:37:08.840
even I believe that my right hand, the spirit of

628
00:37:08.920 --> 00:37:11.960
my hand, had taken hold of Klein's right arm and

629
00:37:12.000 --> 00:37:16.639
forced it down to his side. You may well look

630
00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:18.119
at me as if I were out of my mind, Gordon,

631
00:37:18.159 --> 00:37:20.039
but I did think that at the time. I can

632
00:37:20.079 --> 00:37:25.960
see you've changed your mind, and you alexis well, Madame Stern, No.

633
00:37:26.039 --> 00:37:26.519
I have not.

634
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:31.480
But my dear Madame Ster, you do not understand.

635
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:35.039
Doctor Lonsdale. Some curious things have happened, things which cannot

636
00:37:35.079 --> 00:37:39.199
be explained in the normal way. The fingerprints that proved

637
00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:41.920
Anton's hands strangled Doctor ben.

638
00:37:42.039 --> 00:37:44.400
Well, mistake in the fingerprint.

639
00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:48.599
You know that's not probable. It's possible that piano there

640
00:37:49.159 --> 00:37:52.639
it has played with no one near it, played by

641
00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:54.760
an unseen hand. How do you explain that?

642
00:37:56.400 --> 00:38:00.440
That's a tough one, man, Gordon, I apologize. I didn't

643
00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:03.880
ask you to come here to put you through an inquisition.

644
00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:06.239
All I want to know is do you think I

645
00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:08.800
can do with client did that night? I don't mean

646
00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:12.559
perform miracles? I mean with practice discipline. Could I train

647
00:38:12.679 --> 00:38:16.079
my left hand to move quickly enough, skillfully enough to

648
00:38:16.079 --> 00:38:19.039
do the work of both? Now now, of course not.

649
00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:19.800
You did.

650
00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:27.000
Go straight into the hand.

651
00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:31.400
She is the hend you stop here, stop?

652
00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:37.480
Are you all right?

653
00:38:39.639 --> 00:38:44.840
I hope? So whatever gripped my throat, power strength, it

654
00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:53.920
was the hand, now I know. Now I believe the

655
00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:56.280
other night, you remember latting when I said I'd kill

656
00:38:56.320 --> 00:38:59.559
myself if the insurance company denied my claim? The hand

657
00:38:59.559 --> 00:39:01.960
bangang on the piano. It was telling me I was

658
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:05.360
wrong to think such things. In Carnegie Hall, just before

659
00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:07.159
Climb came on stage, I said, I'd never be able

660
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:11.480
to play again. And handslap my face and then the hand.

661
00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:15.960
The spirit demonstrate its rule, Raphel Cline with the human

662
00:39:15.960 --> 00:39:22.480
body can accomplish. I'm going to do it. I'm going

663
00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:24.800
to try to do it, and if it's humanly possible,

664
00:39:24.840 --> 00:39:36.599
I will, with God's help, I will. I can't, Loddie,

665
00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:39.840
I can't. I can't. Look at my hand. It's swollen

666
00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:42.679
with practice, noumb with the effort of trying and failing.

667
00:39:44.280 --> 00:39:46.920
I said, I would do the impossible with God's help.

668
00:39:46.960 --> 00:39:48.280
But even God has given up.

669
00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:51.679
Yes, gets tired too.

670
00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:55.039
Sometimes no one there as tired as I am.

671
00:39:55.039 --> 00:39:57.440
Maybe you are trying too hard?

672
00:39:58.320 --> 00:39:59.719
Can you try too hard?

673
00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:07.679
I think maybe? Perhaps? Sometimes I learned this in Auschwitz.

674
00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:13.800
It is better to stop trying and ask God to

675
00:40:13.960 --> 00:40:17.760
help you make the effort. After all, He has to

676
00:40:17.760 --> 00:40:19.360
make the effort too, And.

677
00:40:19.360 --> 00:40:20.199
What are you doing instead?

678
00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:26.480
You lean on him instead? No, no, no, I mean it.

679
00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:32.239
We are controlled by the spirit within us. It was

680
00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:37.079
only when I stopped thinking and so stop trying leaned

681
00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:42.320
on God, and Fulfilly thought could be leaned on me too,

682
00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:47.400
So much easier for both to lean instead of making

683
00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:51.599
an effort temporarily. You know that to give a little rest.

684
00:40:53.639 --> 00:41:00.719
Things worked out when I stopped pushing, life stopped pushing back.

685
00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:06.800
And maybe who knows, maybe if we didn't understand the hand,

686
00:41:07.679 --> 00:41:13.639
not understand it. I don't know. Well anyhow, I have

687
00:41:13.800 --> 00:41:16.679
come to ask you a favor and found a big favor.

688
00:41:16.880 --> 00:41:20.599
Of course, I cannot coach, really feel any longer. I

689
00:41:20.639 --> 00:41:24.880
am too old, and he is beyond me now, but

690
00:41:25.159 --> 00:41:28.880
not beyond you, not yet even approaching your skill.

691
00:41:29.679 --> 00:41:29.840
Now.

692
00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:31.960
I know that you don't want to teach, all right.

693
00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:35.039
I don't ask you to take him on permanently, But

694
00:41:35.199 --> 00:41:40.280
would you he wants it, I want it. Would you

695
00:41:41.239 --> 00:41:42.199
coach him now?

696
00:41:42.599 --> 00:41:42.639
No?

697
00:41:42.960 --> 00:41:46.760
No, I could, But why not a half hour? Year,

698
00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:49.119
a half hour? Then when it's convenced.

699
00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:54.000
I couldn't, barra Why not? Because he is young and

700
00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:57.079
I am not. He is on the way up and

701
00:41:57.199 --> 00:42:01.639
I am finished. He has two hands.

702
00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:09.639
Yes, well I'll tell him. You will be disappointed.

703
00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:12.320
I'm sorry, It's all right.

704
00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:16.679
Oh, before I go almost forgot here here's the check

705
00:42:17.159 --> 00:42:21.360
for ninety thousand dollars insurance. What happened to the other

706
00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:24.679
ten I have to live to.

707
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:33.920
No, No, he's here and you not care.

708
00:42:34.039 --> 00:42:36.800
So who cares? You don't care? Come in, rafe you're coming.

709
00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:41.480
I am telling you enough, Ulessi's there. Please some coffee, Yes,

710
00:42:41.519 --> 00:42:47.760
of course, lady. Now Anton, you don't have to coach him.

711
00:42:47.800 --> 00:42:50.760
You don't have to teach him, but you can show him.

712
00:42:51.400 --> 00:42:54.000
And that is what you're going to do, because I

713
00:42:54.320 --> 00:42:57.400
Lotty Sterns say that is what you're going to do.

714
00:42:58.840 --> 00:43:00.760
Alright, lady, what is it?

715
00:43:00.840 --> 00:43:03.400
He is having troubled with impromptu and he has a

716
00:43:03.440 --> 00:43:06.559
concert in Saint Louis in ten days. You can shoot

717
00:43:06.599 --> 00:43:07.400
him in an hour?

718
00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:11.679
All right, all right, go help her. Let's just make

719
00:43:11.679 --> 00:43:35.199
the coffee, all right, Climb, sit down, play?

720
00:43:40.679 --> 00:43:42.440
No, no, no.

721
00:43:42.440 --> 00:43:46.000
Stop it in the name of humanity. Stop it. You

722
00:43:46.000 --> 00:43:47.480
call yourself a coffee pianist?

723
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:48.280
Why like that?

724
00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:50.719
You've had a few concerts.

725
00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:51.400
Of you, So what big deal?

726
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:55.679
Carnegie Hall? Big big deal? You want to know something?

727
00:43:56.519 --> 00:44:00.000
You steink the way you're playing that passage, I can say,

728
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:04.079
I'm sorry, maestro. Sorry, I'm not calling me maestro. I

729
00:44:04.159 --> 00:44:08.280
told you that I'm tired again with less odor. You're

730
00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:09.639
not talking, damn it.

731
00:44:09.679 --> 00:44:35.519
And play.

732
00:44:25.199 --> 00:44:29.440
Listen to me when you listen. Yes, Anton, Yes, and Tom,

733
00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:32.559
Yes and Tom, But you don't listen. If you listen,

734
00:44:32.639 --> 00:44:35.480
you'd hear, and if you heard, you would do a

735
00:44:35.639 --> 00:44:38.000
lot better than you've been doing for the last five hours.

736
00:44:41.079 --> 00:44:47.119
I'm tired, they're tired. Have some more coffee. It's cold.

737
00:44:47.199 --> 00:44:49.760
We'll get used to it. Have coffee. Backstage is always cold.

738
00:44:51.679 --> 00:44:58.239
How are your hands? Uh? Okay? No, no, I'm all

739
00:44:58.320 --> 00:45:18.480
right again again from the top. No, no, no, stop it.

740
00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:23.440
You are terrible. There is no other word for the

741
00:45:23.480 --> 00:45:25.679
way you play terrible.

742
00:45:26.000 --> 00:45:28.280
I give you a no, no, I give you up.

743
00:45:29.320 --> 00:45:33.159
You give me up. You keep talking, talking talking? Do

744
00:45:33.239 --> 00:45:35.960
it this way? Do it that way? What do you

745
00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:36.760
think I'm made of?

746
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:39.599
What that helly you think I made us?

747
00:45:39.719 --> 00:45:41.639
If you know so, damn well, how it.

748
00:45:41.559 --> 00:45:42.239
Ought to be done?

749
00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:43.599
You do it?

750
00:45:43.760 --> 00:45:46.360
I've only got one hand done, yo, use that.

751
00:45:47.159 --> 00:45:49.239
Show me with your left hand.

752
00:45:49.360 --> 00:45:52.119
If you think you're such a hot shot, Piana, show me,

753
00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:53.679
don't tell me.

754
00:45:53.800 --> 00:45:56.119
Show me ain't good. I will get off that bench.

755
00:45:56.320 --> 00:46:12.719
Get off it, Bans and Wolbers. Show you I'm playing

756
00:46:14.599 --> 00:46:19.800
of hands. My left hand playing for both. But it's impossible.

757
00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:34.159
Play play God play.

758
00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:40.239
It was a trick, Bloody, or a trick he deliberately

759
00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:40.960
played badly.

760
00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:44.559
He could play that passage better than you ever could,

761
00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:48.039
and does. He was a smash in Saint.

762
00:46:48.440 --> 00:46:50.519
You'll be a smash in the world. He'll surpass me.

763
00:46:51.039 --> 00:46:54.000
That is so difficult. It makes you feel better to

764
00:46:54.239 --> 00:46:54.599
help me.

765
00:46:55.679 --> 00:47:00.840
Anton, and we have been through so much together, so much,

766
00:47:01.880 --> 00:47:06.519
and now a new life begins for you. You will

767
00:47:06.559 --> 00:47:12.119
be RAPI lines Madame Stern, his coat, his manager.

768
00:47:12.320 --> 00:47:15.440
No, Laddy, I will be his Anton Wahlberg. There is

769
00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:17.320
only one Madame, Marty Stern.

770
00:47:17.679 --> 00:47:21.599
True. So I'll coach you how to coach.

771
00:47:23.360 --> 00:47:24.119
Here's a lessis.

772
00:47:24.239 --> 00:47:25.639
I'm sorry to disturb you to it.

773
00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:28.679
Marti. Yes, darling, thank you.

774
00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:33.039
You wouldn't maybe have some snaps just a little at approaching.

775
00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:37.599
I'm getting old to chill in my veins.

776
00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:44.920
Good excuses any Laddy, the piano, there not a sound

777
00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:47.159
out of it. Since I agreed the coach rap.

778
00:47:47.760 --> 00:47:48.559
Not a sound.

779
00:47:49.840 --> 00:47:54.280
We were wrong. The hand it was pointing the way

780
00:47:54.320 --> 00:47:55.039
to a new career.

781
00:47:55.679 --> 00:47:59.400
No, not the hand, not the hand.

782
00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:11.679
God God works in mysterious ways. His miracles to perform,

783
00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:17.360
says so in the Bible, must be so. But how

784
00:48:17.440 --> 00:48:21.239
often in your life? How often in mind have we

785
00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:25.880
moved toward one goal only to end up at another.

786
00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:31.679
And then who's to say which was the right goal?

787
00:48:33.760 --> 00:48:36.039
I think, God, what.

788
00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:39.719
Do you think? I'll be back shortly? Excuse me, sir,

789
00:48:39.960 --> 00:48:42.679
but do you know what happens this time of year?

790
00:48:42.920 --> 00:48:45.559
Right on pal I happen to know that right about now,

791
00:48:45.599 --> 00:48:48.719
a freak blizzard falls on Dumont, New Jersey, and they're

792
00:48:48.760 --> 00:48:51.559
snowed in for the rest of the summers. Everything.

793
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:55.480
Nope, you see what happens this time of year is

794
00:48:55.480 --> 00:48:57.599
that you can get a particularly good deal on what

795
00:48:57.760 --> 00:49:01.000
is perhaps the most luxurious mid side car on the market,

796
00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:03.199
the mid size Buick Century Regal.

797
00:49:03.480 --> 00:49:05.719
What good's a car when you're hopelessly it's noted in

798
00:49:06.599 --> 00:49:10.039
Well it's a point. Sure, I've heard that phrase give

799
00:49:10.079 --> 00:49:13.039
to the college of your choice, good idea. And I

800
00:49:13.119 --> 00:49:16.280
knew all colleges need more money, with inflation and all.

801
00:49:16.880 --> 00:49:20.599
It's just that since I graduated, I have been so busy,

802
00:49:20.920 --> 00:49:23.760
not just with my career but with the community affairs too.

803
00:49:24.440 --> 00:49:27.599
I haven't found the time to reevaluate take the time

804
00:49:27.960 --> 00:49:30.920
now and give more to the college of your choice.

805
00:49:31.400 --> 00:49:37.039
Now a public service message of this station. In the advertising.

806
00:49:36.440 --> 00:49:53.480
Council, I'm asked, these stories you tell us, are they true?

807
00:49:53.840 --> 00:49:57.079
I can only answer what do we mean by true?

808
00:49:58.199 --> 00:50:02.519
Some actually happened in real life, as we say others.

809
00:50:03.079 --> 00:50:07.480
Let me confess our products of my imagination and most

810
00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:13.519
important yours. But how real is real life? And how

811
00:50:13.599 --> 00:50:15.079
real is imagination?

812
00:50:15.960 --> 00:50:16.320
Yours?

813
00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:16.519
And my.

814
00:50:18.079 --> 00:50:23.280
Difficult question. I try to answer it sometimes.

815
00:50:24.119 --> 00:50:28.840
Our cast included Mendel Kramer, Marion Zeldis, Carol Titel, and

816
00:50:28.960 --> 00:50:32.559
Russell Horton. The entire production was under the direction of

817
00:50:32.599 --> 00:50:34.800
Hyman Brown. Until next time.

818
00:50:35.960 --> 00:51:06.360
Pleasant dreams, My dear, you seem positively transfixed enjoying yourself,

819
00:51:07.000 --> 00:51:07.519
I hope so.

820
00:51:08.599 --> 00:51:13.079
Or what's that? Well, I've never found them worth being

821
00:51:13.119 --> 00:51:19.880
afraid of, so I suppose I don't recommend you do either. No, No,

822
00:51:20.000 --> 00:51:24.039
let's just see what we have here. Something to enjoy,

823
00:51:24.159 --> 00:51:33.800
something to fear, something real, something you could put your

824
00:51:33.960 --> 00:51:40.519
hands on. Or well, we'll just say the ring of thought.

825
00:51:46.840 --> 00:51:53.039
Escape Escape tonight to ancient Egypt.

826
00:51:58.079 --> 00:52:02.760
Like Columbia. Broadcasting systems of the media stations presents Escape

827
00:52:03.159 --> 00:52:05.800
a new series of programs, of which list The sixth

828
00:52:06.199 --> 00:52:09.280
is The Ring of Though by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,

829
00:52:09.679 --> 00:52:18.679
produced and directed by William and robeson wherever the English

830
00:52:18.760 --> 00:52:21.440
language is spoken. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is known for

831
00:52:21.559 --> 00:52:25.679
two things, his immortal character Sherlock Holmes, and his unshakable

832
00:52:25.679 --> 00:52:28.760
belief in life beyond the grave. So great is the

833
00:52:28.760 --> 00:52:31.880
stature of Sherlock Holmes that Conan Doyle's earlier stories are

834
00:52:31.880 --> 00:52:35.400
all but forgotten. Stories like The Ring of Thought, which

835
00:52:35.440 --> 00:52:40.039
so clearly anticipates the author's later fascination with spiritualism. We

836
00:52:40.119 --> 00:52:42.559
invite you now to escape to ancient Egypt and The

837
00:52:42.639 --> 00:52:45.199
Ring of Thought, an adventure told in the words of

838
00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:47.760
John van Sinnard Smith, British egyptologist.

839
00:53:00.519 --> 00:53:03.280
I arrived in Paris on the three fourteen express from

840
00:53:03.320 --> 00:53:05.599
d'epp and went immediately to my hotel in the Rue

841
00:53:05.599 --> 00:53:08.199
de la Fitte. My actions so far had worked out

842
00:53:08.239 --> 00:53:11.880
according to my planned schedule. I slept for exactly two hours,

843
00:53:12.159 --> 00:53:14.599
got up and dressed, donned a greatcoat, walked down the

844
00:53:14.639 --> 00:53:17.159
Avenue de l'a parre, and entered the side door of

845
00:53:17.199 --> 00:53:21.519
the louver. Once inside, and amid surroundings entirely familiar to me.

846
00:53:21.920 --> 00:53:24.679
I made my way immediately to the Chamber of Egyptian Relics,

847
00:53:25.079 --> 00:53:28.039
or more specifically, to the cabinet in that chamber which

848
00:53:28.079 --> 00:53:32.159
contained the El Kabre collection of papyri. Drawing out the

849
00:53:32.159 --> 00:53:34.880
particular roll I wished, I placed it on a near

850
00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:38.440
by table, sat down began to study it when I

851
00:53:38.519 --> 00:53:41.079
noticed one of the museum attendants, who was polishing some

852
00:53:41.119 --> 00:53:44.599
brass work across the room. His face struck me as

853
00:53:44.639 --> 00:53:49.280
being curiously Egyptian. On sudden impulse, I decided to cross

854
00:53:49.320 --> 00:53:53.440
the room and speak to him. Approaching closer, I was

855
00:53:53.440 --> 00:53:56.800
impressed at once by the appearance of his skin, drawn

856
00:53:56.960 --> 00:54:00.400
tautly across temple and cheek. It seemed as glad and

857
00:54:00.480 --> 00:54:04.920
the shiniest varnished parchment, And out of narrowed slits there

858
00:54:04.960 --> 00:54:09.320
glowed two green and vitreous eyes, misty with a dry shininess,

859
00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:13.320
eyes of a kind never seen in a human head.

860
00:54:13.400 --> 00:54:18.880
Before I beg your pardon, I need one of the

861
00:54:19.159 --> 00:54:21.960
papyrye from the Memphis collection. Could you tell me where

862
00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:22.320
it is?

863
00:54:23.199 --> 00:54:26.119
You'll find it in the last cabinet at the end

864
00:54:26.159 --> 00:54:26.679
of the room.

865
00:54:26.760 --> 00:54:32.320
Monsieur thank you, Uh your Egyptian, aren't you.

866
00:54:31.719 --> 00:54:35.039
No, Monsieur, I I am a Frenchman.

867
00:54:35.119 --> 00:54:38.400
But oh, I thought the happy if Monsieur.

868
00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:41.000
Will excuse me, now I have other work to do.

869
00:54:46.079 --> 00:54:47.920
I went back to the table and took up the

870
00:54:47.960 --> 00:54:51.880
papyrus I had been studying before. But my former calmness

871
00:54:51.880 --> 00:54:55.320
in translating the intricate hieroglyphics was gone, and out of

872
00:54:55.360 --> 00:54:59.079
the depths of my mind will the feeling of terrible familiarity.

873
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:03.639
I concentrated more deeply on my studies, pushing aside those

874
00:55:03.679 --> 00:55:07.880
thoughts conducive to mental turmoil, and at last, worn out

875
00:55:07.920 --> 00:55:23.039
by the inward struggle, I fell asleep. I awoke with

876
00:55:23.119 --> 00:55:26.679
a start, not remembering where I was. It was quite

877
00:55:26.760 --> 00:55:29.960
dark for a moment, then gradually my eyes focused on

878
00:55:30.000 --> 00:55:32.559
the glints of moonlight reflected from the glass tops of

879
00:55:32.599 --> 00:55:36.000
specimen tables, from the shiny vanish of the mummy cases,

880
00:55:36.719 --> 00:55:39.519
and I realized, with a feeling of sudden dread, that

881
00:55:39.599 --> 00:55:42.079
I was alone in the Egyptian room of the Museum

882
00:55:42.119 --> 00:55:54.199
of the Louver, locked in for the night. And I

883
00:55:54.239 --> 00:55:57.480
saw at that moment, approaching through the moonlit halls, a

884
00:55:57.559 --> 00:56:01.519
dim yellow flame nearer and nearer it came, until I

885
00:56:01.559 --> 00:56:04.199
could perceive above it, as though floating in the air,

886
00:56:04.599 --> 00:56:07.119
the eerie, glistening face of the man I had spoken

887
00:56:07.119 --> 00:56:10.840
too earlier. I shrank into the dark shadow of my corners,

888
00:56:11.440 --> 00:56:14.360
and he passed without seeing me, stopping before the mummy

889
00:56:14.360 --> 00:56:18.760
cases a few yards away. Scarcely daring to breathe, I

890
00:56:18.840 --> 00:56:21.599
watched him place the light on a table and begin

891
00:56:21.840 --> 00:56:25.800
feverishly to examine the tags on the specimens. In a moment,

892
00:56:25.800 --> 00:56:29.320
he gave up a cry of delight, and uh drawing

893
00:56:29.320 --> 00:56:31.880
one of the mummies from its resting place, laid it

894
00:56:31.920 --> 00:56:34.159
on the table in the full glow of the lantern,

895
00:56:34.519 --> 00:56:38.559
and set to work. He was unwinding the wrappings from

896
00:56:38.559 --> 00:56:42.400
the head of the corpse. A few turns revealed a

897
00:56:42.440 --> 00:56:46.320
tumbled cascade of black curls, a few more the snow

898
00:56:46.320 --> 00:56:51.480
white brow, then the delicate nostrils, and at last the full, warm,

899
00:56:51.679 --> 00:56:55.119
passionate lips, the face of the most beautiful woman the

900
00:56:55.159 --> 00:56:56.119
world has ever seen.

901
00:56:56.559 --> 00:57:04.159
At some markets, so very law you must forgive me.

902
00:57:04.199 --> 00:57:08.320
Beloved, I could hardly believe my eyes. The man was

903
00:57:08.400 --> 00:57:12.360
obviously in love with this mummy. After a while, he

904
00:57:12.480 --> 00:57:14.840
left the body turning his attention to one of the

905
00:57:14.840 --> 00:57:18.280
glass cases filled with an assortment of rings. From a

906
00:57:18.320 --> 00:57:21.480
pocket of his garment, he'd taken a small glass bottle

907
00:57:21.519 --> 00:57:24.519
containing some kind of liquid, and he used this now

908
00:57:24.559 --> 00:57:28.239
to test the rings, rejecting them one after another. Then

909
00:57:28.280 --> 00:57:30.199
at last, this is it.

910
00:57:30.199 --> 00:57:30.920
It's the one.

911
00:57:31.280 --> 00:57:33.800
At last, I've found it, the ring of thought.

912
00:57:33.880 --> 00:57:37.199
In his excitement, he dropped the bottle, and I gasped

913
00:57:37.239 --> 00:57:39.760
in surprise at the sudden sound. Who there, I I,

914
00:57:39.760 --> 00:57:40.840
I beg your pardons.

915
00:57:42.320 --> 00:57:44.679
Ah, so it is you.

916
00:57:45.119 --> 00:57:47.360
No, do not know I I I didn't mean to

917
00:57:47.400 --> 00:57:49.079
spy on you. I fell asleep.

918
00:57:50.400 --> 00:57:51.480
Who are you, monsieur?

919
00:57:52.000 --> 00:57:55.360
I am John Vansittart Smith, a student of Egyptology.

920
00:57:55.719 --> 00:58:00.320
No matter, you will observe this knife. Yes, had I

921
00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:03.960
discovered you five minutes ago, monsieur, I should have slain

922
00:58:04.039 --> 00:58:08.079
you without a word. What as it is now? I

923
00:58:08.119 --> 00:58:11.440
have found the ring, But I warn you not to

924
00:58:11.440 --> 00:58:13.599
interfere with me in any way.

925
00:58:14.239 --> 00:58:17.119
I really haven't the slightest intention of it. After all,

926
00:58:17.159 --> 00:58:21.280
I'm only here by accident. Perhaps I say you shouldn't

927
00:58:21.280 --> 00:58:24.639
have unwrapped that money. You know, it's starting to deteriorate already.

928
00:58:25.519 --> 00:58:26.280
My beloved.

929
00:58:27.239 --> 00:58:31.480
Yes, before our eyes, the lovely face was crumbling, the

930
00:58:31.559 --> 00:58:35.039
hair falling away, the skin shriveling and cracking, the lips fading.

931
00:58:36.039 --> 00:58:39.960
The man hovered over the decaying body a moment, murmuring sorrowfully,

932
00:58:40.800 --> 00:58:41.920
and then he turned again.

933
00:58:42.360 --> 00:58:46.119
No matter, that will not make the least difference in

934
00:58:46.159 --> 00:58:50.960
a little while. But what importance is the dead shell,

935
00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:54.960
so long as her spirit waits for me at the

936
00:58:55.039 --> 00:58:56.400
other side of the veil.

937
00:58:56.880 --> 00:59:00.320
What are you talking about? What is it your proposing to.

938
00:59:00.280 --> 00:59:07.280
Do tonight, monsieur? I have ended a quest and broken

939
00:59:07.360 --> 00:59:12.719
at last the ancient curse. Nothing now can prevent my

940
00:59:12.960 --> 00:59:13.599
joining her.

941
00:59:14.440 --> 00:59:17.840
Are you actually claiming that you you knew her?

942
00:59:18.639 --> 00:59:24.519
She was Adma, daughter of the governor of Abaris, and

943
00:59:24.679 --> 00:59:27.960
both she and I lived in the reign of Tutmosis

944
00:59:28.360 --> 00:59:31.320
three thousand, five hundred years ago.

945
00:59:32.039 --> 00:59:34.360
You're obviously mad.

946
00:59:34.079 --> 00:59:39.679
Perhaps, but not in the way you think. There may

947
00:59:39.719 --> 00:59:46.039
be designness you are coming here. It may be decreed

948
00:59:46.039 --> 00:59:49.840
that I should leave some account behind as a warning

949
00:59:50.199 --> 00:59:55.599
to other mortals as rash as myself. Very well, then

950
00:59:56.559 --> 01:00:10.400
so be it. I am, as you surmised, an Egyptian.

951
01:00:12.320 --> 01:00:17.639
My name was Sassrah, and my father had been the

952
01:00:17.719 --> 01:00:23.360
chief priest of Osiris in the Great Temple of Abaris,

953
01:00:24.239 --> 01:00:29.400
which stood in those days upon the Bubastic branch of

954
01:00:29.480 --> 01:00:34.679
the Nile. I was brought up in the temple and

955
01:00:34.920 --> 01:00:40.119
was trained in all those mystic arts and sciences known

956
01:00:40.320 --> 01:00:50.039
to the priesthood. Of all the mysteries that I studied,

957
01:00:50.800 --> 01:00:54.960
none intrigued me more than the question of life and death.

958
01:00:56.280 --> 01:01:00.400
And even to this question in time I found an answer, Sir.

959
01:01:02.079 --> 01:01:04.280
But for a man to live beyond his allotted span

960
01:01:04.360 --> 01:01:08.159
of years, Master Sostra, the gods have not so ordained.

961
01:01:07.760 --> 01:01:10.679
It, ha, Then perhaps they will have to revise their

962
01:01:10.800 --> 01:01:13.239
ordinances now that I have discovered their secret.

963
01:01:13.320 --> 01:01:16.159
Tis not well to jest. I tremble, for though I

964
01:01:16.199 --> 01:01:18.840
have labored in your service for a year, I knew

965
01:01:18.880 --> 01:01:20.559
not the goal of your endeavors.

966
01:01:21.519 --> 01:01:24.559
Mer Cyahs, forgive me, ah, what a pity you look

967
01:01:24.639 --> 01:01:27.599
upon it this way? For I'd thought that in return

968
01:01:27.760 --> 01:01:30.960
for your assistance, I should grant you too the gift

969
01:01:31.000 --> 01:01:32.840
of centuries of indestructible life.

970
01:01:33.119 --> 01:01:36.039
I would not have it, Master Sastra, and I beg

971
01:01:36.119 --> 01:01:37.199
that you too, forego it.

972
01:01:37.320 --> 01:01:41.559
Forego it. I introduced the fluid into my veins one

973
01:01:41.639 --> 01:01:42.119
month ago.

974
01:01:42.719 --> 01:01:46.519
Oh no, then you are lost, indeed lost?

975
01:01:48.079 --> 01:01:53.119
Do you call this being lost? Let's see now my

976
01:01:53.320 --> 01:01:59.760
heart should be about here, about knife. No, don't must

977
01:01:59.840 --> 01:02:05.199
you've killed yourself, not at all. See it bleeds a little,

978
01:02:05.800 --> 01:02:08.559
But in a while the wound will close up, and

979
01:02:08.639 --> 01:02:15.159
that's all you. It's it's immortality. No, I shall not

980
01:02:15.280 --> 01:02:19.480
live forever, but for five thousand, perhaps six thousand years,

981
01:02:19.960 --> 01:02:24.400
I shall be immune from all dangers of violence, poison, disease, starvation.

982
01:02:24.679 --> 01:02:29.440
You you cannot die now with this fluid in my veins. Nothing,

983
01:02:29.920 --> 01:02:32.000
nothing in this world can end my life.

984
01:02:32.559 --> 01:02:33.960
Rotra doltra.

985
01:02:34.079 --> 01:02:34.599
Are you there?

986
01:02:34.800 --> 01:02:37.599
Someone crossed? It's Parmes, the priest of thought in here,

987
01:02:37.679 --> 01:02:38.159
my friend?

988
01:02:38.440 --> 01:02:43.719
Enter, oh greeting sorcerer, master of sciences, and his worthy assistant.

989
01:02:43.880 --> 01:02:45.920
If you will excuse me, Masters, I go to make

990
01:02:45.920 --> 01:02:46.840
my peace with yourself.

991
01:02:47.679 --> 01:02:49.480
What's wrong with your helper, Sorcerer?

992
01:02:49.639 --> 01:02:52.199
The thought of a well nigh eternal life has frightened

993
01:02:52.239 --> 01:02:53.639
him into gibbering superstition.

994
01:02:53.800 --> 01:02:57.440
Then you still believe in the discovery, believe in it.

995
01:02:57.559 --> 01:03:02.559
Parme's my friend, Look the heavens, what a scar it pierces?

996
01:03:02.599 --> 01:03:05.840
The heart was done only a moment ago with this knife.

997
01:03:05.960 --> 01:03:10.039
M see, I can put it back in the wound.

998
01:03:10.519 --> 01:03:15.199
So you you suffered no ill effects, none whatever. And

999
01:03:15.239 --> 01:03:17.639
if I if I turned the knife in the wound,

1000
01:03:17.760 --> 01:03:19.239
that would do you no harm.

1001
01:03:19.280 --> 01:03:26.960
You may try it. I feel nothing. I walked last

1002
01:03:26.960 --> 01:03:28.960
week and the snake pits by the river was struck

1003
01:03:29.000 --> 01:03:31.800
innumerable times. It caused no harm.

1004
01:03:31.599 --> 01:03:33.440
By the greater Nubis.

1005
01:03:33.719 --> 01:03:36.320
Will you have it? Then, out of all Egypt, I

1006
01:03:36.320 --> 01:03:39.039
have chosen only you, my friend, to share the gift.

1007
01:03:39.920 --> 01:03:41.159
But the choice is yours, not.

1008
01:03:41.280 --> 01:03:44.800
Dear fool to refuse. Sassrah. I'll have it. And now

1009
01:03:45.079 --> 01:03:45.880
what must I do?

1010
01:03:46.440 --> 01:03:50.719
First? We must open a vein in your wrists like this. Oh,

1011
01:03:51.320 --> 01:03:57.519
then we dripped the elixir slowly into your blood stream steady.

1012
01:03:57.559 --> 01:04:00.079
Now I I don't feel any.

1013
01:04:00.280 --> 01:04:01.239
There is no sensation.

1014
01:04:04.039 --> 01:04:07.519
It is done so simple, there is nothing more.

1015
01:04:07.960 --> 01:04:11.159
That's all and now done. It can never be changed.

1016
01:04:11.719 --> 01:04:14.039
It seems incredible, supernatural.

1017
01:04:14.239 --> 01:04:17.199
It's no more than a chemical discovery. But with it,

1018
01:04:17.760 --> 01:04:20.679
while all this about us passes away, you and I

1019
01:04:20.800 --> 01:04:24.599
parmies will live on for fifty centuries. Think of it,

1020
01:04:24.639 --> 01:04:29.599
my friend, five thousand years of life, five thousand years

1021
01:04:30.079 --> 01:04:33.599
only the two of us listen that noise. Some procession

1022
01:04:33.639 --> 01:04:34.800
must be passing in the street.

1023
01:04:35.039 --> 01:04:37.119
I have an idea what it may be. Come on

1024
01:04:37.159 --> 01:04:37.639
over to the.

1025
01:04:37.599 --> 01:04:43.480
Window, clear the road, land back, and make weight for.

1026
01:04:43.559 --> 01:04:45.039
The loveliest pearl of deeps.

1027
01:04:45.679 --> 01:04:48.119
She's being carried on the shoulders of slaves, parmies. She

1028
01:04:48.199 --> 01:04:49.400
must be some woman of rank.

1029
01:04:49.599 --> 01:04:52.960
Her name is Atmar. She's the daughter of the new governor.

1030
01:04:55.800 --> 01:04:58.280
Her curtains are drawn back. Perhaps we'll have a look

1031
01:04:58.320 --> 01:05:07.320
at her. Oh, harness, is she not beautiful? She is

1032
01:05:07.400 --> 01:05:11.800
the most desirable, the only utterly desirable woman I've ever

1033
01:05:11.880 --> 01:05:12.880
seen in my life.

1034
01:05:13.000 --> 01:05:15.599
Yes, I saw her yesterday at the temple.

1035
01:05:16.119 --> 01:05:19.280
Then you are most fortunate, my friend. You've had twenty

1036
01:05:19.280 --> 01:05:21.400
four more hours to dream about her than I have had.

1037
01:05:22.039 --> 01:05:24.440
I must know her, parmies, I must make her love me.

1038
01:05:24.519 --> 01:05:27.800
I'll send gifts. I'll call on her tomorrow. Oh it

1039
01:05:28.000 --> 01:05:32.840
has to be then. I couldn't wait any longer than tomorrow.

1040
01:05:43.760 --> 01:05:46.599
What visitor calls upon the beloved of the universe.

1041
01:05:47.199 --> 01:05:50.880
He is Susser, priest of the Temple of Osiris.

1042
01:05:51.639 --> 01:05:55.159
Well bid him approach Er Sastra.

1043
01:05:55.400 --> 01:05:59.320
Almost beautiful of all Egypt. I cast myself at your feet.

1044
01:05:59.480 --> 01:06:02.880
That's a no ambition. But wouldn't it be much better

1045
01:06:02.960 --> 01:06:06.800
to sit here beside me and watch the fish in

1046
01:06:06.840 --> 01:06:07.320
the fountain?

1047
01:06:08.079 --> 01:06:08.760
Much better?

1048
01:06:10.400 --> 01:06:15.159
You will all withdraw, except you, my girl, play something

1049
01:06:15.199 --> 01:06:24.519
for us at a distance. Well, Sasser, For so I

1050
01:06:24.599 --> 01:06:28.559
understand your called. Am I to deem this an official

1051
01:06:28.639 --> 01:06:30.320
visit by a master of the temple?

1052
01:06:31.079 --> 01:06:36.559
Oh that, Mama Mila, that is no, it is not official.

1053
01:06:37.119 --> 01:06:40.639
Oh perhaps then you wish to see my father on

1054
01:06:40.880 --> 01:06:42.239
personal business of your own.

1055
01:06:42.400 --> 01:06:46.400
Oh no, no, I shall pay my respects to him

1056
01:06:46.400 --> 01:06:47.519
at some other time.

1057
01:06:48.679 --> 01:06:52.760
Then, could it be I you've come to see? Yes, yes,

1058
01:06:53.719 --> 01:06:57.239
And since you've said the visit's not official, your reason

1059
01:06:57.320 --> 01:06:58.480
must be a personal one.

1060
01:06:58.840 --> 01:06:59.559
Oh it is?

1061
01:07:00.840 --> 01:07:02.480
Well, what is it?

1062
01:07:04.119 --> 01:07:08.000
Otmah? I have known women who are famed for their

1063
01:07:08.039 --> 01:07:11.440
beauty throughout the valley of the Nile, but not one,

1064
01:07:11.760 --> 01:07:14.320
not all of them, are so lovely as you.

1065
01:07:15.320 --> 01:07:19.159
How thoughtful of you to come here and tell me Atmah.

1066
01:07:19.320 --> 01:07:23.320
I've no wish to intrude my desires, my hopes beyond

1067
01:07:23.360 --> 01:07:29.280
such extent as you may wish to hear. But oh,

1068
01:07:29.360 --> 01:07:32.039
I'm finding this very difficulty.

1069
01:07:32.519 --> 01:07:33.000
Sa Sera.

1070
01:07:34.079 --> 01:07:37.079
I've been told that you're a master of science, that

1071
01:07:37.199 --> 01:07:40.440
you've unlocked the secrets of the universe, learned all the

1072
01:07:40.519 --> 01:07:41.920
mysteries of nature itself.

1073
01:07:42.559 --> 01:07:44.480
Your informants have been most generous.

1074
01:07:44.559 --> 01:07:49.280
Yes, I'm inclined to think so, why because you've discovered

1075
01:07:49.320 --> 01:07:52.280
nothing at all about such a simple thing as a

1076
01:07:52.360 --> 01:07:53.679
woman's heart.

1077
01:07:54.039 --> 01:07:54.679
What do you mean?

1078
01:07:55.679 --> 01:08:01.000
I come from Thebes, and the women of Thebes are

1079
01:08:01.039 --> 01:08:07.679
warm blooded, passionate, and we know what we want. Otma,

1080
01:08:07.880 --> 01:08:11.320
I saw you first three days ago. Why do you

1081
01:08:11.360 --> 01:08:13.639
think I told my bearers to carry me down that

1082
01:08:13.760 --> 01:08:22.680
street beneath your window?

1083
01:08:23.960 --> 01:08:28.880
And so, miracle of all miracles, Atma loved me, worshiping

1084
01:08:28.920 --> 01:08:32.119
the very ground her feet had trod upon. I lived

1085
01:08:32.159 --> 01:08:36.000
through those glorious weeks, and with it all our love

1086
01:08:36.079 --> 01:08:40.640
grew apace. But one thing bore heavily upon my mind,

1087
01:08:41.319 --> 01:08:43.159
and I came to speak of it more often to

1088
01:08:43.279 --> 01:08:45.880
my beloved as we sat and talked by the fountain

1089
01:08:45.960 --> 01:08:46.600
in her garden.

1090
01:08:48.600 --> 01:08:52.279
Look Sasser, See how the stars shine from the water.

1091
01:08:52.680 --> 01:08:57.479
Yes, Atmah, more lovely even than their glow in the heavens.

1092
01:08:57.800 --> 01:08:59.479
Are they very old, the.

1093
01:08:59.479 --> 01:09:04.279
Stars, very old, beloved, as old as time, and.

1094
01:09:04.319 --> 01:09:08.079
They're gone gleaming there long years after you and I

1095
01:09:08.119 --> 01:09:09.239
are gone and forgotten.

1096
01:09:11.000 --> 01:09:14.439
Hatma, my dearest. We've talked of this before, and I

1097
01:09:14.479 --> 01:09:16.000
know what distresses you to think of it.

1098
01:09:16.680 --> 01:09:19.479
No, Sorser, to night, everything is beautiful. We shall not

1099
01:09:19.560 --> 01:09:20.359
talk of death.

1100
01:09:20.199 --> 01:09:23.840
Not of death, but of life. They are only counterparts

1101
01:09:23.840 --> 01:09:24.439
of one another.

1102
01:09:24.840 --> 01:09:28.840
Oh if we could only live together, go old together

1103
01:09:28.960 --> 01:09:30.560
and die in the same instant.

1104
01:09:31.039 --> 01:09:34.680
But how much better to live and love five thousand years?

1105
01:09:35.359 --> 01:09:38.399
Will you not do it? Does so long a time

1106
01:09:38.520 --> 01:09:41.920
seem too great for the love you feel for me, beloved?

1107
01:09:42.079 --> 01:09:46.239
No, the time would pass in an instant, and the

1108
01:09:46.319 --> 01:09:48.399
loss then be no easier born than now.

1109
01:09:49.079 --> 01:09:52.079
Then why draw back? Will you not take the elexir

1110
01:09:52.239 --> 01:09:53.000
now to night?

1111
01:09:53.079 --> 01:09:54.720
I am afraid, Saser, we'll anger.

1112
01:09:54.760 --> 01:09:56.359
The gods will outlive the gods.

1113
01:09:56.359 --> 01:09:57.399
They will have their revenge.

1114
01:09:57.720 --> 01:09:58.520
Whate'er occurred.

1115
01:09:58.840 --> 01:10:03.640
We'd be together, Yes, I've thought of that. Were it

1116
01:10:03.720 --> 01:10:05.880
not so, I'd not even consider doing it.

1117
01:10:06.159 --> 01:10:08.399
Then you'll do it, Otma, you'll do it.

1118
01:10:08.439 --> 01:10:11.039
I need more time, only a little more to assure myself.

1119
01:10:11.079 --> 01:10:14.720
How much to night, Sacer, give me to night?

1120
01:10:15.960 --> 01:10:19.159
Every hour you live without the elixir is another hazard?

1121
01:10:21.600 --> 01:10:21.960
All right?

1122
01:10:22.039 --> 01:10:26.520
Then to night, and may isis herself, guard over you

1123
01:10:26.600 --> 01:10:38.840
until the fluid courses in your veins, and so on.

1124
01:10:38.920 --> 01:10:41.840
That accursed night, I went to my chambers and slept.

1125
01:10:42.479 --> 01:10:45.199
And while I slept, the moon of Isis shone over

1126
01:10:45.239 --> 01:10:48.119
the delta of the Nile, shone but to light as

1127
01:10:48.199 --> 01:10:51.359
foul a scene as was ever done on earth. Some

1128
01:10:51.520 --> 01:10:53.079
hours it passed away.

1129
01:10:53.479 --> 01:10:56.960
Master sorcer awakened, Master, awaken at once?

1130
01:10:58.000 --> 01:10:59.600
You know who is it?

1131
01:11:00.000 --> 01:11:01.640
What a terrible thing has trans.

1132
01:11:03.399 --> 01:11:06.439
You? You're one of ATMA's slaves. Why do you come here?

1133
01:11:06.520 --> 01:11:09.520
Oh, muster, muster, what has happened?

1134
01:11:09.640 --> 01:11:10.960
What's the matter? Speak?

1135
01:11:11.239 --> 01:11:13.520
It is she the light of the world.

1136
01:11:13.640 --> 01:11:14.720
Tell me what has happened to her?

1137
01:11:15.039 --> 01:11:20.800
Must muster Biggins came in the night. She she is dead?

1138
01:11:20.920 --> 01:11:21.399
You lie?

1139
01:11:21.640 --> 01:11:22.159
You lie?

1140
01:11:23.199 --> 01:11:24.399
Speaks the truth?

1141
01:11:24.520 --> 01:11:27.279
FARMI is my friend. What foul jokes behind these words

1142
01:11:27.319 --> 01:11:27.520
of his?

1143
01:11:27.760 --> 01:11:32.119
It's not a joke. Atma is dead. You slave? Depart

1144
01:11:32.159 --> 01:11:32.560
from us?

1145
01:11:32.760 --> 01:11:35.399
Yes, Masters, why you graciously depart?

1146
01:11:36.159 --> 01:11:42.279
Such a thing cannot be? Oh, of course the two

1147
01:11:42.319 --> 01:11:44.760
of you planned it together. Sort to frighten me out

1148
01:11:44.760 --> 01:11:47.920
of my wits. It's very amusing, really, but I was

1149
01:11:48.079 --> 01:11:49.239
terrified for a moment.

1150
01:11:49.600 --> 01:11:52.720
Atma no longer lives she was stabbed to death only

1151
01:11:52.760 --> 01:11:53.560
a short while ago.

1152
01:11:53.680 --> 01:11:57.199
No, oh, no, no, she can't be dead.

1153
01:11:57.319 --> 01:12:01.239
She is dead, Sorcerer, and for all eternity, I must.

1154
01:12:01.039 --> 01:12:01.520
Go to her.

1155
01:12:02.239 --> 01:12:04.560
Something. Surely something can be done.

1156
01:12:05.520 --> 01:12:06.600
I killed her.

1157
01:12:08.000 --> 01:12:09.920
What is it? What has happened?

1158
01:12:11.920 --> 01:12:14.119
I killed her? I struck her through the hat with

1159
01:12:14.239 --> 01:12:20.960
this very knife, you, you parmes. Why because she loved you?

1160
01:12:21.960 --> 01:12:22.239
Why?

1161
01:12:22.520 --> 01:12:27.359
And because I loved her, you, my friend, she would

1162
01:12:27.399 --> 01:12:28.159
not look at.

1163
01:12:28.000 --> 01:12:29.760
Me, and for that you would lose her to both

1164
01:12:29.760 --> 01:12:30.840
of us, forever.

1165
01:12:30.680 --> 01:12:33.000
To both of us. Sorcerer, I think not.

1166
01:12:33.319 --> 01:12:35.680
By the living of Cyrus. Give me that knife.

1167
01:12:35.880 --> 01:12:36.199
That's it.

1168
01:12:36.319 --> 01:12:42.079
Strike again, here's the heart here, Strike again and again, Sorcera.

1169
01:12:42.159 --> 01:12:47.560
Wait, what foolishness. I cannot kill you your wrongs, Sorcerer,

1170
01:12:48.920 --> 01:12:53.359
You have killed me. Those were griefous blows.

1171
01:12:53.920 --> 01:12:57.279
But the fluid, that cursed elixir of life, it runs

1172
01:12:57.319 --> 01:12:59.199
in your veins as well as mine.

1173
01:12:59.359 --> 01:13:05.039
True, but in mine is also the antidote.

1174
01:13:05.439 --> 01:13:07.720
You lie. There is no antidote.

1175
01:13:08.000 --> 01:13:12.560
Yes day and night, these many weeks I've worked, Have.

1176
01:13:12.600 --> 01:13:13.159
I found it?

1177
01:13:13.199 --> 01:13:16.720
You couldn't have you? Is there more of it?

1178
01:13:17.119 --> 01:13:21.000
Yes, a very little, But you'll never find it.

1179
01:13:21.119 --> 01:13:21.680
Where is it?

1180
01:13:22.359 --> 01:13:23.319
Tell me where it is.

1181
01:13:24.800 --> 01:13:30.319
In the Ring Sorcerer, in the Ring of Thought, and you'll.

1182
01:13:29.920 --> 01:13:33.960
Never find I will, I will, I must go on live.

1183
01:13:34.640 --> 01:13:39.399
Live your fifty centuries, and every hour of them. Think

1184
01:13:41.680 --> 01:13:45.600
it was your hand that struck me down with the

1185
01:13:45.640 --> 01:13:47.760
same knife that took her from you.

1186
01:13:48.640 --> 01:13:55.239
M think while I go to join her.

1187
01:13:57.640 --> 01:14:04.960
Oh no, you're not dead, Y're not no, no, no no.

1188
01:14:13.720 --> 01:14:17.359
For months, I searched the papers, testoobs, and the chemical

1189
01:14:17.399 --> 01:14:20.680
flasks in the chambers of the dead Priest of Thought,

1190
01:14:21.359 --> 01:14:26.279
searched and found nothing. I sifted the sands where he'd walked,

1191
01:14:26.800 --> 01:14:32.880
questioned his slaves and servants, and learned nothing. Every moment

1192
01:14:32.920 --> 01:14:37.319
of my life, my terrible and unwonted life, was devoted

1193
01:14:37.359 --> 01:14:41.399
to an unceasing hunt for the Ring of Thought, and

1194
01:14:41.560 --> 01:14:45.640
all to no avail. And in time a horde of

1195
01:14:45.680 --> 01:14:51.319
barbarians overran the city of a Barras, and the sands

1196
01:14:51.359 --> 01:14:57.119
of the desert buried forever the last of my hopes,

1197
01:15:03.960 --> 01:15:08.880
And so began the deadly march of the centuries. How

1198
01:15:08.920 --> 01:15:13.359
can you know how terrible a thing time is, you

1199
01:15:14.279 --> 01:15:18.439
who have experienced only the narrow course between the cradle

1200
01:15:18.479 --> 01:15:24.159
and the grave. I've floated down the whole stream of history.

1201
01:15:26.239 --> 01:15:30.760
I have traveled in all lands, and I have dwelt

1202
01:15:30.800 --> 01:15:32.079
with all nations.

1203
01:15:33.319 --> 01:15:38.079
Every tongue is the same to me. I need not

1204
01:15:38.279 --> 01:15:46.319
tell you how slowly the centuries drifted by, centuries without end,

1205
01:15:48.239 --> 01:15:56.159
years without number. And so I came to be one

1206
01:15:56.239 --> 01:16:02.960
day a few weeks past in San Francisco, where I

1207
01:16:03.000 --> 01:16:07.039
came across a certain item in a newspaper.

1208
01:16:07.279 --> 01:16:10.840
Long recent discoveries in Lower Egypt is an unopened mummy

1209
01:16:10.840 --> 01:16:14.359
case containing, according to the inscription on the outside, the

1210
01:16:14.359 --> 01:16:16.800
body of the daughter of the governor of Arbarus in

1211
01:16:16.840 --> 01:16:20.399
the days of Tutmosis. In the same burial crypt, dropped

1212
01:16:20.439 --> 01:16:23.560
into a crevice between the stones, was found a large

1213
01:16:23.680 --> 01:16:27.479
platinum ring of singular design. Both specimens have been sent

1214
01:16:27.520 --> 01:16:33.720
for examination to the Louver in Paris.

1215
01:16:34.079 --> 01:16:37.039
So I presume you came here to Paris obtained this

1216
01:16:37.159 --> 01:16:39.960
position of attendant in the Louver with the idea.

1217
01:16:39.760 --> 01:16:45.239
Only yesterday, Monsieur Smith. As you may imagine, I had

1218
01:16:45.279 --> 01:16:49.119
little difficulty in convincing the director of my knowledge of

1219
01:16:49.159 --> 01:16:50.279
Egyptian relics.

1220
01:16:50.359 --> 01:16:53.000
The ring, then, the one I saw you removed from

1221
01:16:53.039 --> 01:16:57.399
the case is the ring of thought. Without question, you

1222
01:16:57.640 --> 01:16:59.600
discovered how the ring must be used.

1223
01:17:00.479 --> 01:17:07.239
The secret is obvious. See the stone is hollow and

1224
01:17:07.399 --> 01:17:10.399
drops of liquid move within it.

1225
01:17:11.039 --> 01:17:14.479
Have you considered the possibility that this antidote may not

1226
01:17:14.600 --> 01:17:16.680
perform the function which has been claimed for it?

1227
01:17:17.199 --> 01:17:20.680
It will, monsieur, and there'll be no need of a

1228
01:17:20.760 --> 01:17:25.640
knife to strike me down. My death was due in

1229
01:17:25.720 --> 01:17:31.119
a time long past, and only this damnable fluid that

1230
01:17:31.399 --> 01:17:37.000
runs through my veins supports the weight of my years.

1231
01:17:37.680 --> 01:17:42.119
I delay no longer. I go to join her where

1232
01:17:42.119 --> 01:17:50.840
she waits for me in depth. No, don't, oh too late,

1233
01:17:52.640 --> 01:18:01.520
I've broken the gem. I've taken the antidote.

1234
01:18:01.840 --> 01:18:05.039
I stood and watched him with a terrible fascination, but

1235
01:18:05.159 --> 01:18:08.680
without pity and without compassion. He turned away from me

1236
01:18:08.720 --> 01:18:10.960
and reel toward the mummy he'd left on the table

1237
01:18:11.000 --> 01:18:14.920
across the room. But even as he turned, the parchment

1238
01:18:15.000 --> 01:18:19.640
skin of his face cracked and shredded. Discolored lips shriveled

1239
01:18:19.640 --> 01:18:23.319
away from the yellow teeth, the vitreous eyes withered into

1240
01:18:23.399 --> 01:18:27.000
nubs of formless plasm, and the full weight of his

1241
01:18:27.079 --> 01:18:30.880
thirty five hundred years descended on him. In an instant,

1242
01:18:33.880 --> 01:18:36.720
I left that room of death, and walked over the

1243
01:18:36.760 --> 01:18:41.199
marble floors toward the exit, my footsteps echoing through the

1244
01:18:41.239 --> 01:18:44.560
empty halls, even as they had echoed for so long

1245
01:18:44.640 --> 01:18:48.640
in the corridors of time. And I wondered as I walked,

1246
01:18:49.000 --> 01:18:52.720
if Sorcerer knew now what I knew, that the antidote

1247
01:18:52.720 --> 01:18:55.159
in the Ring of Thoth can bring death to the body,

1248
01:18:55.920 --> 01:18:58.960
but not to the soul. And I wondered in what

1249
01:18:59.159 --> 01:19:02.920
cloak of flesh his spirit now dwelt, just as I

1250
01:19:03.279 --> 01:19:07.399
Parme's priest of thought had for the last forty years

1251
01:19:07.439 --> 01:19:10.640
of my thirty five hundred dwelt in the body of

1252
01:19:10.760 --> 01:19:12.600
John vansitat Smith.

1253
01:19:18.199 --> 01:19:26.760
The doctor.

1254
01:19:27.000 --> 01:19:29.000
He's so little and solid.

1255
01:19:29.199 --> 01:19:31.560
Well now he's only two days.

1256
01:19:31.239 --> 01:19:33.319
Old, but he doesn't look a bit like either his

1257
01:19:33.359 --> 01:19:34.039
father or me.

1258
01:19:34.399 --> 01:19:37.760
Give in time, my dear, all babies look pretty much alike.

1259
01:19:37.800 --> 01:19:38.760
When the first born.

1260
01:19:39.479 --> 01:19:45.399
I don't know it his eyes or it's silly, of course,

1261
01:19:45.479 --> 01:19:49.079
but he looks like an Egyptian.

1262
01:20:00.079 --> 01:20:06.880
M Produced and directed by William N. Robson the Ring

wet Saturday.

John Collier's well known short story Wet Saturday.

1289
01:23:01.399 --> 01:23:05.000
Yes, it's a wet Saturday. Never saw it rain harder.

1290
01:23:05.960 --> 01:23:10.800
I am Princey, Frederick Princey, just an ordinary family man.

1291
01:23:11.520 --> 01:23:14.640
I have a son, a daughter, and a wife. Might

1292
01:23:14.680 --> 01:23:16.560
be out golfing now if it hadn't been.

1293
01:23:18.079 --> 01:23:20.560
I plan to drive over to the nurseries this afternoon

1294
01:23:20.640 --> 01:23:22.479
for the harvest the board, as you.

1295
01:23:22.560 --> 01:23:26.199
Know, a whole lot of them make me sick.

1296
01:23:26.880 --> 01:23:30.840
Yes, I'm George, son and heir had a date to

1297
01:23:30.960 --> 01:23:35.399
go punting puntings. Couldn't find the blasted punting as well,

1298
01:23:35.560 --> 01:23:39.159
So i'm home too.

1299
01:23:38.600 --> 01:23:41.399
I'm miliced.

1300
01:23:43.039 --> 01:23:47.760
I was going to play croquetes. That's how I happen

1301
01:23:47.800 --> 01:23:50.239
to help the malty.

1302
01:23:53.199 --> 01:23:54.720
Yes, that's the Princey family.

1303
01:23:55.159 --> 01:23:58.840
We find them at home, Missus prency Milicent, George sprawl

1304
01:23:58.880 --> 01:24:00.880
on a couch, mister Frenzy biting on.

1305
01:24:00.840 --> 01:24:02.039
A dry pipe.

1306
01:24:02.520 --> 01:24:05.960
Their living room is dull and overstuffed, rain beats at

1307
01:24:06.000 --> 01:24:09.439
the windows. They are any middle class family at home

1308
01:24:09.479 --> 01:24:14.399
on a wet day, except for one small light of them,

1309
01:24:14.560 --> 01:24:16.079
as you said, with them in the living room, you

1310
01:24:16.079 --> 01:24:18.079
can see through the door of the sun porch a

1311
01:24:18.119 --> 01:24:21.439
pair of men's feet encased in black boots.

1312
01:24:22.279 --> 01:24:25.319
They look like the feet of a curate. There's a

1313
01:24:25.359 --> 01:24:26.279
tenseness in the room.

1314
01:24:27.119 --> 01:24:31.079
The air is charged with excitement, but the feet are

1315
01:24:31.439 --> 01:24:32.359
very still.

1316
01:24:33.640 --> 01:24:37.479
Don't keep staring at them. Listen to me, all of you.

1317
01:24:38.359 --> 01:24:41.800
Don't you see they'd hang ho, that's what they do.

1318
01:24:41.840 --> 01:24:49.840
They'd hang her. It's too awful, statistrophic, supposedly sweet, gentle,

1319
01:24:49.960 --> 01:24:52.880
intelligent girl, respected out.

1320
01:24:52.760 --> 01:24:54.720
By the whole village doing a thing like this.

1321
01:24:56.800 --> 01:24:57.319
Disgrace.

1322
01:24:58.439 --> 01:25:01.079
You think I'm going to resign from the bench the deestrit,

1323
01:25:01.720 --> 01:25:04.760
sell out and live in some buggy hotel abroad.

1324
01:25:04.960 --> 01:25:06.359
Oh no, no.

1325
01:25:05.920 --> 01:25:07.880
No, no, I kill myself.

1326
01:25:08.199 --> 01:25:10.720
I will. I will be a fool.

1327
01:25:10.920 --> 01:25:12.920
Anymore than you have been, the governor.

1328
01:25:13.000 --> 01:25:16.880
Things be quiet. Wouldn't be so bad if it were you.

1329
01:25:17.479 --> 01:25:22.840
Everybody in the village knows you're not responsible. George, Yes,

1330
01:25:23.279 --> 01:25:25.760
get up that couch, Sit up on your spine.

1331
01:25:26.720 --> 01:25:28.680
It might be of a little use here if you

1332
01:25:28.720 --> 01:25:29.560
could think.

1333
01:25:29.600 --> 01:25:33.279
Listen, Governor, this isn't my funeral, or shut.

1334
01:25:33.039 --> 01:25:37.159
Up as long as I can remember, George, you've been

1335
01:25:37.199 --> 01:25:39.560
a child and a tribulation to me.

1336
01:25:39.800 --> 01:25:42.319
Oh, I can't stand it. I can't stand it.

1337
01:25:42.560 --> 01:25:46.039
You got to stand it, my dear, and keep that

1338
01:25:46.159 --> 01:25:47.079
hysterical note.

1339
01:25:47.119 --> 01:25:48.920
How your was you here?

1340
01:25:51.039 --> 01:25:51.119
We?

1341
01:25:51.399 --> 01:25:52.079
Uh?

1342
01:25:53.319 --> 01:25:59.560
We are talking about the weather now, George, Yeah, George.

1343
01:26:00.399 --> 01:26:05.159
If he fell down the old well, say, striking his

1344
01:26:05.239 --> 01:26:06.359
head several times?

1345
01:26:06.560 --> 01:26:07.199
What about it?

1346
01:26:07.239 --> 01:26:10.399
Eh, I don't know, governor what about it?

1347
01:26:10.399 --> 01:26:13.840
There'll be an ass I'm asking you to think he'd

1348
01:26:13.880 --> 01:26:17.800
have had to hit the side several times in thirty

1349
01:26:17.960 --> 01:26:23.960
or forty feet and and at all the correct angles. No, no,

1350
01:26:24.079 --> 01:26:24.800
I'm afraid not.

1351
01:26:25.840 --> 01:26:31.600
I'm afraid not. We'll have to go over it all again.

1352
01:26:31.800 --> 01:26:32.119
Listen.

1353
01:26:32.600 --> 01:26:35.800
Oh no, father, No, no, I couldn't.

1354
01:26:36.319 --> 01:26:41.840
I couldn't, melicened. We must go over it all again.

1355
01:26:41.920 --> 01:26:43.960
Oh, Fred, you were torturing her.

1356
01:26:44.239 --> 01:26:47.840
Oh face facts, mate with him lying there that No,

1357
01:26:47.960 --> 01:26:49.479
he's pretending it's a picnic.

1358
01:26:50.520 --> 01:26:55.760
He my tang, you melicened. Oh, stop shaking stop.

1359
01:26:55.479 --> 01:26:57.000
It here, you must stop it.

1360
01:26:57.800 --> 01:27:03.600
Just keep your voice quiet me listened, we are talking

1361
01:27:04.800 --> 01:27:06.159
of the weather.

1362
01:27:07.520 --> 01:27:07.720
Now.

1363
01:27:08.279 --> 01:27:10.279
We will proceed. I can't.

1364
01:27:11.680 --> 01:27:14.399
Start.

1365
01:27:15.279 --> 01:27:19.479
Oh, should have thought of those boots? Many I'm not

1366
01:27:19.640 --> 01:27:20.199
moving them.

1367
01:27:20.520 --> 01:27:24.880
Sit up, George, stop shuffling your peep and I listened,

1368
01:27:25.680 --> 01:27:26.319
look at.

1369
01:27:26.159 --> 01:27:30.359
Me, Answer me truthfully, you're here, Answer me.

1370
01:27:31.479 --> 01:27:36.840
You were in the crooked cors who knew you were

1371
01:27:36.880 --> 01:27:39.000
in love with this which you curate.

1372
01:27:40.239 --> 01:27:41.119
The whole village.

1373
01:27:41.680 --> 01:27:43.760
They've been stinking about it at the pub for three

1374
01:27:43.880 --> 01:27:44.680
years past.

1375
01:27:45.560 --> 01:27:48.560
What will they miss me? Listened?

1376
01:27:48.640 --> 01:27:53.560
We continue. You were on the croaky car here. You

1377
01:27:53.640 --> 01:27:56.359
were putting the crooked set into its box.

1378
01:27:57.199 --> 01:27:58.640
Yes, it.

1379
01:28:00.239 --> 01:28:00.720
In the rain.

1380
01:28:01.960 --> 01:28:04.520
I was carrying the balls and melts into the sun porch.

1381
01:28:05.600 --> 01:28:06.439
The box is there.

1382
01:28:07.399 --> 01:28:11.800
You heard someone enter the garden gate and come across

1383
01:28:11.840 --> 01:28:13.119
the yard there?

1384
01:28:14.079 --> 01:28:15.199
Could you see who it was?

1385
01:28:15.920 --> 01:28:16.000
Not?

1386
01:28:16.119 --> 01:28:20.439
At first? I was going into the sun porch. I

1387
01:28:20.520 --> 01:28:23.199
threw down all the mariets but the red one and

1388
01:28:23.279 --> 01:28:23.960
turned around.

1389
01:28:24.880 --> 01:28:33.880
It was with us. Yes, so you caught loudly? Did

1390
01:28:33.880 --> 01:28:35.760
you call him loudly? Could anyone have heard?

1391
01:28:35.840 --> 01:28:39.079
No, Father, I'm sure not. I didn't really call him.

1392
01:28:39.119 --> 01:28:42.840
I I just spoke his name. He saw me as

1393
01:28:42.840 --> 01:28:46.000
I went to the door. He just waved his hand

1394
01:28:46.079 --> 01:28:46.840
and came over.

1395
01:28:47.600 --> 01:28:49.920
How can I find out from you whether there was

1396
01:28:49.960 --> 01:28:52.960
anyone about whether he could have been seen? I'm sure

1397
01:28:53.079 --> 01:28:56.079
not that I'm I'm quite sure.

1398
01:28:56.520 --> 01:28:59.920
So you both went into the sunport.

1399
01:29:00.239 --> 01:29:02.199
Yes, it was raining hard.

1400
01:29:02.239 --> 01:29:04.079
Then what did he say?

1401
01:29:04.560 --> 01:29:09.000
He said, hello, Milly, and excuse it coming in the

1402
01:29:09.039 --> 01:29:12.600
back way. But he set out to walk over to Lisbon. Yes,

1403
01:29:12.920 --> 01:29:18.039
and he said, passing the park. He now let me

1404
01:29:18.119 --> 01:29:21.640
thought of me, and he thought he'd just look in

1405
01:29:21.720 --> 01:29:26.319
for a moment. He he had something to tell me.

1406
01:29:27.319 --> 01:29:31.399
Go on, he said, he was so happy he wanted

1407
01:29:31.439 --> 01:29:34.319
me to share it. He'd heard from the bishoping that

1408
01:29:34.399 --> 01:29:38.840
they have a vicarage, and it wasn't only bad, it

1409
01:29:38.960 --> 01:29:45.359
meant he could marry. Then he began to get all confused.

1410
01:29:46.600 --> 01:29:49.479
Of course, I thought, he meant me.

1411
01:29:50.039 --> 01:29:53.000
Don't tell me what you thought. Tell me exactly what

1412
01:29:53.119 --> 01:29:54.439
he said, nothing else.

1413
01:29:54.960 --> 01:30:01.359
Well, well, stop crying.

1414
01:30:01.800 --> 01:30:05.319
Luxurally, you can no longer afford tell me what happened?

1415
01:30:07.920 --> 01:30:13.920
He said, No, he said it it wasn't me. It's

1416
01:30:13.920 --> 01:30:19.560
Ella Braggton David, and and he was sorry and all that.

1417
01:30:22.119 --> 01:30:27.000
Then he went to go, and then I went mad.

1418
01:30:27.880 --> 01:30:30.920
He turned his back. I had the red mallet of

1419
01:30:30.960 --> 01:30:34.000
the croquet it in my hand. I forgot to drop

1420
01:30:34.039 --> 01:30:35.399
it in the box when he came.

1421
01:30:35.960 --> 01:30:40.319
Id you shout or scream? I mean as you'll hit him.

1422
01:30:40.359 --> 01:30:42.720
No, I'm sure I didn't.

1423
01:30:43.520 --> 01:30:45.119
Did he come on?

1424
01:30:45.359 --> 01:30:45.920
Speak up?

1425
01:30:46.039 --> 01:30:46.079
No?

1426
01:30:46.279 --> 01:30:46.560
Father?

1427
01:30:47.039 --> 01:30:48.960
And then I threw it down.

1428
01:30:49.760 --> 01:30:50.760
I came straight in here.

1429
01:30:51.520 --> 01:30:52.479
I went to look for mother.

1430
01:30:55.880 --> 01:30:57.479
No, no, I.

1431
01:30:57.439 --> 01:31:01.159
Would need the child alone, Fred, that's a child later

1432
01:31:02.159 --> 01:31:03.600
may I had no idea?

1433
01:31:03.800 --> 01:31:10.880
You quiet, I'm thinking, m M, you'll see George. He

1434
01:31:11.000 --> 01:31:15.520
probably told people he was going to listen. Certainly no

1435
01:31:15.520 --> 01:31:17.840
one knows he came here for him. He didn't decide

1436
01:31:17.880 --> 01:31:21.520
until he crossed the park. He might have been a

1437
01:31:21.720 --> 01:31:27.680
text in the woods. We must consider every detail. Cure

1438
01:31:27.760 --> 01:31:32.279
it with his head that I don't. Don't cure it

1439
01:31:33.199 --> 01:31:34.600
head bettered in.

1440
01:31:36.600 --> 01:31:36.800
Now?

1441
01:31:37.000 --> 01:31:39.359
Who would want to kill with us?

1442
01:31:39.800 --> 01:31:40.520
Kill with us?

1443
01:31:40.520 --> 01:31:40.720
Well?

1444
01:31:40.760 --> 01:31:41.880
I would with pleasure.

1445
01:31:42.119 --> 01:31:42.920
How you do me?

1446
01:31:44.960 --> 01:31:47.279
All sit down, pray mus and get up for me?

1447
01:31:47.359 --> 01:31:47.640
Missus.

1448
01:31:47.680 --> 01:31:51.319
Princey, you ever mission my word? Just being neighborly on.

1449
01:31:51.279 --> 01:31:54.159
A bad day, I wanted to ask you about those

1450
01:31:54.279 --> 01:31:57.039
daily bouves. Princey took a short cut on account of

1451
01:31:57.079 --> 01:31:58.800
the rain and walked right in you.

1452
01:31:58.800 --> 01:32:00.520
You wouldn't mind, he.

1453
01:32:00.760 --> 01:32:06.680
Heard your father, My dear, if we can all have

1454
01:32:06.840 --> 01:32:11.760
our little jokes, don't pretend to be shocked in this way. Smollet,

1455
01:32:11.920 --> 01:32:15.199
and then in this chair facing the fireplace, sit down, mother.

1456
01:32:15.199 --> 01:32:18.079
Were just taking the curtains to the sand patch. Dear,

1457
01:32:18.840 --> 01:32:21.720
it looks so gloomy there might as well shut the rain.

1458
01:32:22.640 --> 01:32:26.960
Just talking about a little theoretical cure of killing Smollet.

1459
01:32:28.000 --> 01:32:31.399
Young people these days like thrillers, pass on his side,

1460
01:32:31.800 --> 01:32:35.159
justifiable pass on his side? Have you heard about Ella

1461
01:32:35.199 --> 01:32:39.079
Bragdon Davis? I shall be most properly laughed at. Why

1462
01:32:40.159 --> 01:32:42.119
why should you be laughed at? Smollet?

1463
01:32:42.479 --> 01:32:43.039
Oh?

1464
01:32:43.119 --> 01:32:46.760
And the shot in that direction myself? Now I've said

1465
01:32:46.840 --> 01:32:49.560
yes too, haven't you heard?

1466
01:32:50.199 --> 01:32:51.359
She told most people?

1467
01:32:52.079 --> 01:32:54.399
Now it'll look as if I got turned down for

1468
01:32:54.520 --> 01:32:55.800
a white rat.

1469
01:32:55.600 --> 01:32:56.560
And a dog collar.

1470
01:32:57.159 --> 01:33:04.000
Oh too bad? Fortune of war, yeah s, fortune of war.

1471
01:33:04.920 --> 01:33:06.960
Odd how it happens, isn't it?

1472
01:33:08.359 --> 01:33:09.399
Said down Smollett.

1473
01:33:10.239 --> 01:33:15.199
Melsten console, Captain Smollett, with your best light conversation for

1474
01:33:15.239 --> 01:33:17.960
you too, mother. George and I have something to look

1475
01:33:18.000 --> 01:33:20.840
at outside as this rain lit is bad, very bad,

1476
01:33:21.239 --> 01:33:22.279
Come George, right.

1477
01:33:22.159 --> 01:33:26.399
Old guvernor maybe we'll need raincoats. Ah, I don't think so,

1478
01:33:26.960 --> 01:33:27.199
did it?

1479
01:33:27.439 --> 01:33:30.920
Just make yourself at home, Smilett, make yourself.

1480
01:33:30.439 --> 01:33:34.640
At all a cigarette, Captain Smollett, thank you, Thank you.

1481
01:33:35.199 --> 01:33:36.760
A nasty day to be going out.

1482
01:33:37.039 --> 01:33:39.600
It's something about the old will just off the sun

1483
01:33:39.640 --> 01:33:42.760
ports door. You know, this terrible sudden weather seems to

1484
01:33:42.760 --> 01:33:44.159
have loosened some of the stones.

1485
01:33:44.319 --> 01:33:48.159
Not too bad, dash, too bad spoils the tennis and croquet.

1486
01:33:48.199 --> 01:33:50.279
I mean a day like this, doesn't it, Milly?

1487
01:33:51.439 --> 01:33:53.720
Doesn't it? Milly? Oh?

1488
01:33:53.800 --> 01:33:56.239
Yes it does. She was precasing out on the croquet

1489
01:33:56.279 --> 01:33:59.760
court earlier. But i'll do for your chair near the fire, captain.

1490
01:34:00.199 --> 01:34:02.159
It was so damp we thought it would be cozy to.

1491
01:34:02.199 --> 01:34:04.000
Light to thank you. I'm quite comfortable.

1492
01:34:06.319 --> 01:34:10.199
I I hope you don't feel too bad about Alla.

1493
01:34:10.279 --> 01:34:12.000
David can't always win.

1494
01:34:13.039 --> 01:34:16.640
Can't see though, what you women see in these bloodless clerics.

1495
01:34:16.880 --> 01:34:17.039
Oh.

1496
01:34:17.159 --> 01:34:19.680
I always thoughts with this was that he is a

1497
01:34:19.800 --> 01:34:20.680
very charming man.

1498
01:34:20.880 --> 01:34:24.600
Quite agree. Why should anyone want to marry him? You

1499
01:34:24.640 --> 01:34:25.920
wouldn't want to marry.

1500
01:34:25.720 --> 01:34:27.039
Him, would you? Milly? Not?

1501
01:34:27.199 --> 01:34:28.760
Now that is that?

1502
01:34:29.239 --> 01:34:29.520
Are you?

1503
01:34:30.920 --> 01:34:31.079
Oh?

1504
01:34:32.079 --> 01:34:39.039
No, Smillet, Yes, yes, printin good lord man, you you

1505
01:34:39.159 --> 01:34:40.960
come in off fellow suddenly.

1506
01:34:42.039 --> 01:34:42.840
Yes I did.

1507
01:34:43.960 --> 01:34:48.079
Oh, don't mind this old double barrel shut down, been

1508
01:34:48.199 --> 01:34:52.640
working on it, Smillett. May I have your attention for

1509
01:34:52.680 --> 01:34:56.000
a minute, there's something on the sun part I'd like

1510
01:34:56.119 --> 01:35:02.079
to show you why. Yes, yes, of course, Smollett, George

1511
01:35:02.119 --> 01:35:04.640
and I went out to see if we could shoot

1512
01:35:04.680 --> 01:35:06.680
some rats which have been driven out of the old

1513
01:35:06.720 --> 01:35:09.920
well by the high water, afraid they might get into

1514
01:35:09.920 --> 01:35:14.079
the house. Now you must listen to me very carefully,

1515
01:35:15.159 --> 01:35:20.039
very carefully, or you will be shot by accident.

1516
01:35:20.600 --> 01:35:23.840
Princey, what's got into you?

1517
01:35:23.840 --> 01:35:27.439
You heard me ask as you came in, who would

1518
01:35:27.560 --> 01:35:33.760
kill Withers? Also hurt militance? Make a comment and unguarded comment.

1519
01:35:33.760 --> 01:35:35.199
Well, what of it?

1520
01:35:35.880 --> 01:35:40.119
Very little unless you were to hear that Withers had

1521
01:35:40.159 --> 01:35:45.239
met a violent end this very afternoon, and that, my

1522
01:35:45.399 --> 01:35:48.920
dear Smollet, is what you are going to hear.

1523
01:35:49.439 --> 01:35:50.960
What Whithers?

1524
01:35:51.960 --> 01:35:52.199
Yes?

1525
01:35:53.720 --> 01:35:55.119
Who killed him?

1526
01:35:55.159 --> 01:35:55.720
Milicened?

1527
01:35:57.119 --> 01:35:57.920
Good lord?

1528
01:35:58.720 --> 01:36:01.840
Yes, it's a mess. Yes, And of course you would

1529
01:36:01.840 --> 01:36:07.319
have remembered and guessed maybe, yes, I yes.

1530
01:36:07.159 --> 01:36:08.439
I suppose I should.

1531
01:36:08.640 --> 01:36:13.039
Therefore you constitute a problem. Why did she kill him?

1532
01:36:13.199 --> 01:36:13.399
Oh?

1533
01:36:13.399 --> 01:36:17.560
It's one of those disgusting things. Pitiabul too. She deluded

1534
01:36:17.560 --> 01:36:19.079
herself that he was in love with her.

1535
01:36:19.479 --> 01:36:20.760
Could if it's Billy?

1536
01:36:22.079 --> 01:36:25.159
Oh yes, of course I see.

1537
01:36:25.359 --> 01:36:29.760
He had told her about the Davis girl. I understand now,

1538
01:36:29.800 --> 01:36:32.399
I have no wishes. You will comprehend that she should

1539
01:36:32.439 --> 01:36:35.000
be proved either a lunatic or a murderers. I could

1540
01:36:35.000 --> 01:36:37.760
hardly go on living here after that, I suppose not.

1541
01:36:38.239 --> 01:36:41.960
On the other hand, you know about it. Yes, I

1542
01:36:42.159 --> 01:36:46.039
see that makes me a problem. You're wondering if I

1543
01:36:46.119 --> 01:36:48.800
could keep my mouth shut, if I promise.

1544
01:36:48.960 --> 01:36:51.760
I am wondering if I could believe you. But if

1545
01:36:51.760 --> 01:36:53.319
I promise it things.

1546
01:36:53.000 --> 01:36:56.079
Went smoothly, Yes, but not if there was any sort

1547
01:36:56.079 --> 01:36:59.800
of suspicion, any questioning. You would be afraid of being

1548
01:36:59.800 --> 01:37:04.600
an excess. I wife, I don't know, I do. What

1549
01:37:04.640 --> 01:37:08.520
are we going to do? I can't see anything else.

1550
01:37:08.560 --> 01:37:11.439
You you'll never be fool enough to do me and you.

1551
01:37:11.680 --> 01:37:14.880
You can't get rid of two corpses. Oh, I regard

1552
01:37:14.920 --> 01:37:17.840
it is a better risk than the other. It could

1553
01:37:17.920 --> 01:37:23.479
be an accident, or you and withther could both disappear.

1554
01:37:24.279 --> 01:37:25.680
There are possibilities in that.

1555
01:37:26.399 --> 01:37:30.119
Listen you You can't, I can, but there may be

1556
01:37:30.159 --> 01:37:34.319
a way out. There is Smollett. You gave it to

1557
01:37:34.359 --> 01:37:39.199
me yourself. I did what you said you would kill

1558
01:37:39.319 --> 01:37:42.880
with us. You have a motive here. I was joking,

1559
01:37:42.960 --> 01:37:47.720
of course, you saw that you are always joking. Listen, Smollett,

1560
01:37:48.399 --> 01:37:52.399
I can't trust you. You must trust me else I

1561
01:37:52.439 --> 01:37:55.840
will kill you now in the next minute. I mean

1562
01:37:55.920 --> 01:37:58.640
that you can choose between dying and living.

1563
01:37:59.279 --> 01:37:59.600
God.

1564
01:38:00.239 --> 01:38:02.960
Now, there's the old world just outside the sun porch store.

1565
01:38:03.680 --> 01:38:05.960
That's where I'm going to put with us. No one

1566
01:38:06.000 --> 01:38:08.359
outside knows he has come up here this afternoon. No

1567
01:38:08.439 --> 01:38:11.680
one will ever look there for him unless you tell them.

1568
01:38:12.359 --> 01:38:14.720
You must give me evidence that you have murdered with us.

1569
01:38:15.119 --> 01:38:18.399
I murdered him. Why do you want that so that

1570
01:38:18.520 --> 01:38:21.239
I shall be dead? Sure that you will never open

1571
01:38:21.279 --> 01:38:27.920
your lips on the subject. I see what's evidence? George

1572
01:38:28.840 --> 01:38:34.439
hit him in the face. Sure you keep out of this, Captain.

1573
01:38:34.600 --> 01:38:35.840
You should be more careful.

1574
01:38:36.199 --> 01:38:47.159
Look what your teeth did than my knuckles again, George, okay.

1575
01:38:43.600 --> 01:38:45.760
And keep quiet you women, keep out of this.

1576
01:38:46.680 --> 01:38:49.960
I'm sorry, Smillett, but there must be traces of a

1577
01:38:50.039 --> 01:38:53.239
struggle between you and with us. Then it will not

1578
01:38:53.359 --> 01:38:56.039
be altogether safe for you to go to the police.

1579
01:38:57.560 --> 01:39:00.520
Can't you take my word? Man? I will when we

1580
01:39:00.560 --> 01:39:01.199
are finished.

1581
01:39:01.920 --> 01:39:06.279
George, get the crooking marriage. Take your handkerchief to it

1582
01:39:06.800 --> 01:39:08.560
in there on the sun port floor.

1583
01:39:09.079 --> 01:39:12.600
Yeah, yeah, I got it, Governor.

1584
01:39:13.520 --> 01:39:18.000
There, Captain, there's the weapon, as I told you, smollet.

1585
01:39:18.680 --> 01:39:22.880
Now you'll just grasp the end that mashed witherus head.

1586
01:39:23.720 --> 01:39:27.119
I shall shoot you if you don't.

1587
01:39:26.119 --> 01:39:27.319
Good Lord, you call it.

1588
01:39:28.960 --> 01:39:34.199
All right there, let's see how deposited it out by

1589
01:39:34.199 --> 01:39:36.319
the side of the house, out of the rain, of course.

1590
01:39:37.079 --> 01:39:41.800
No wait, George, Eh, first you better pull a few

1591
01:39:41.960 --> 01:39:44.840
hairs out of his head and put them under the

1592
01:39:44.960 --> 01:39:46.720
nails of with us right there.

1593
01:39:46.920 --> 01:39:49.600
Prince, if you got mad, do you know what you're

1594
01:39:49.640 --> 01:39:54.560
doing with this gun? Yes, go ahead, George. Sorry, then

1595
01:39:54.640 --> 01:39:55.600
mess your hair up.

1596
01:39:55.720 --> 01:40:00.479
Captain, shut up a smollet. Eh, that's all we need

1597
01:40:01.039 --> 01:40:03.079
now for weathers. We'll fix it right up.

1598
01:40:03.319 --> 01:40:08.079
Be right with your governor, smell it. You may turn

1599
01:40:08.159 --> 01:40:12.439
around with us. Is just there in the sun, potch,

1600
01:40:13.319 --> 01:40:15.199
draw back the curtain.

1601
01:40:17.319 --> 01:40:18.039
Good lord.

1602
01:40:18.199 --> 01:40:23.199
Pretty Yes, messy, but we will get him fixed up.

1603
01:40:23.960 --> 01:40:24.840
Now you small it.

1604
01:40:25.439 --> 01:40:26.119
You've just got to.

1605
01:40:26.239 --> 01:40:28.920
Drag him through the door and dump him in the

1606
01:40:28.960 --> 01:40:31.439
old ware just beyond the door.

1607
01:40:31.479 --> 01:40:33.479
Captain, I won't touch it.

1608
01:40:33.720 --> 01:40:37.680
I won't try all right, stand aside out of range, George, right,

1609
01:40:37.800 --> 01:40:40.680
Only one place I want this bullet to go. God

1610
01:40:41.159 --> 01:40:45.319
keep questing my AIM's done to wait a minute, Yeah,

1611
01:40:45.760 --> 01:40:52.039
I better small it much better. Go on now in

1612
01:40:52.159 --> 01:40:55.000
here you'll have to take him outside.

1613
01:40:54.840 --> 01:40:56.319
By the shoulders.

1614
01:40:56.359 --> 01:41:00.479
Ought to do it, Captain, Keep quiet, George, go on, Smillet,

1615
01:41:01.359 --> 01:41:08.039
go on. You've seen dead man before. Drag him, drag him.

1616
01:41:08.279 --> 01:41:11.840
I'll just hold the gun here to make.

1617
01:41:11.760 --> 01:41:14.479
Sure that everything goes all.

1618
01:41:21.760 --> 01:41:25.840
Oh, what come away from the didn't wind? Don't the captains?

1619
01:41:26.600 --> 01:41:29.560
Your father is a very resourceful man. Listen. I'm sure

1620
01:41:29.600 --> 01:41:30.600
what he's doing is right.

1621
01:41:30.920 --> 01:41:34.520
The captain, I can't, I can't stand it.

1622
01:41:34.680 --> 01:41:36.079
Mustn't question your dear.

1623
01:41:35.960 --> 01:41:39.800
Father, I say, you too, still at it. There's enough

1624
01:41:39.800 --> 01:41:41.760
of trouble around here without blubbering.

1625
01:41:41.960 --> 01:41:43.680
I'm not lovely enjoyement.

1626
01:41:44.720 --> 01:41:48.119
So you see small everything.

1627
01:41:49.520 --> 01:41:53.159
They've never looking our wet. You see how safe it is?

1628
01:41:54.800 --> 01:41:55.680
I guess it is.

1629
01:41:55.880 --> 01:41:59.560
Oh good, heavens man, you're grouping wet? Why why didn't

1630
01:41:59.560 --> 01:42:00.800

the table.

1640
01:42:26.720 --> 01:42:30.119
That's it, I say, captain, you've gone and catch your lift.

1641
01:42:31.159 --> 01:42:34.239
I just knocked it too, how dreadful clear Bridget. Yes,

1642
01:42:34.279 --> 01:42:35.640
give the captain this cap.

1643
01:42:37.479 --> 01:42:38.199
No, no, thank you.

1644
01:42:38.239 --> 01:42:40.039

Think I've running along now. I shoul don't mind my.

You don't mind missus prince, if if I could just

01:42:51.119 --> 01:42:51.960
For your captain.

1650
01:42:52.319 --> 01:42:56.039
This is a very distressing Smollett. Very I'll be all

1651
01:42:56.119 --> 01:43:01.199
right presently. Sure here we are, let me help you.

1652
01:43:01.199 --> 01:43:05.119
You you there, I better go out the front way, Smollett,

1653
01:43:05.319 --> 01:43:06.319
walk is dry.

1654
01:43:06.520 --> 01:43:07.960
Let me hold the door for you.

1655
01:43:08.079 --> 01:43:08.439
Captain.

1656
01:43:08.720 --> 01:43:10.720
Don't worry your fellow. Don't worry.

1657
01:43:10.720 --> 01:43:11.319
It all.

1658
01:43:16.760 --> 01:43:20.159
Nothing serious. I imagine we'll rest and he'll be as

1659
01:43:20.199 --> 01:43:23.560
right as rain. By the way, medicine, you're not looking

1660
01:43:23.560 --> 01:43:24.439
in it too well.

1661
01:43:24.439 --> 01:43:27.880
No, well at all. I'm sure it was that crooky

1662
01:43:27.960 --> 01:43:31.119
court being outdoors and whether life. This is simply foolhardy.

1663
01:43:31.359 --> 01:43:34.319
The maid is right, Millie, you saw what happened to

1664
01:43:34.439 --> 01:43:36.319
Captain Smallow come a home, dear.

1665
01:43:36.640 --> 01:43:38.479
I shall give you a hot foot bath and put

1666
01:43:38.520 --> 01:43:40.720
you to bed, and a couple of days in bed.

1667
01:43:41.000 --> 01:43:44.800
You'll be time, get plenty of rest, milicine, and don't

1668
01:43:44.840 --> 01:43:46.000
worry about a thing.

1669
01:43:46.319 --> 01:43:50.600
That's the best job. Well, I guess i'll have a

1670
01:43:50.600 --> 01:43:55.399
little rest too, Governor. It's a fine afternoon for a nap.

1671
01:43:55.680 --> 01:44:00.880
Indeed it is. Son, Well, enjoy yourself. I'll see you later.

1672
01:44:01.760 --> 01:44:03.680
I'll see you all later.

1673
01:44:05.640 --> 01:44:15.760
M m mmmmmm.

1674
01:44:22.000 --> 01:44:23.439
Would you get me the police station.

1675
01:44:23.279 --> 01:44:29.920
Please, police station right away, sir, m.

1676
01:44:30.199 --> 01:44:36.199
M m mmmm please head quarter of sergeant yet he speaking.

1677
01:44:37.199 --> 01:44:41.079
Hello, sergeant, This is princeyve abbat roll right. I believe

1678
01:44:41.119 --> 01:44:45.000
you know me, mister Prince Sergeant. A horrible thing has

1679
01:44:45.119 --> 01:44:50.000
just happened, quite extraordinary murdering, in fact murder. I am

1680
01:44:50.000 --> 01:44:52.840
afraid it looks rather bad for welfare for a close

1681
01:44:52.880 --> 01:44:55.960
friend of ours. Unfortunately we saw him do it. I

1682
01:44:56.319 --> 01:44:58.079
think you'd better send someone over right away.

1683
01:44:58.520 --> 01:45:00.479
A man should be there now.

1684
01:45:00.359 --> 01:45:03.800
Mister Princey. I beg your pardon.

1685
01:45:04.359 --> 01:45:08.000
I say our men should be there now. Constable Martin

1686
01:45:08.039 --> 01:45:11.199
has his post right below your house there just rang in,

1687
01:45:11.840 --> 01:45:18.000
seems Captain Smollett was with him, Captain Smollett. He reported

1688
01:45:18.079 --> 01:45:20.800
some rather queer goings on at you please, but I

1689
01:45:20.880 --> 01:45:25.039
certainly didn't understand it was murder. I just don't touch anything,

1690
01:45:25.039 --> 01:45:28.760
mister Princey, and don't worry, don't worry at all.

1691
01:45:29.640 --> 01:45:33.960
No, no, no no, I won't shut that. Thank you.

1692
01:45:36.279 --> 01:45:38.079
Gonna don't know what I'm.

1693
01:45:41.199 --> 01:45:42.039
Stop shouting.

1694
01:45:43.159 --> 01:45:44.920
We we have some visitors.

1695
01:45:44.960 --> 01:45:50.000
Go yeah, yes, yes, I can see that well, Constable.

1696
01:45:50.279 --> 01:45:55.840
Good afternoon, Good afternoon, mister Princey and Smollett. I say, what,

1697
01:45:55.920 --> 01:45:58.399
what a remarkable fellow you are coming back like this

1698
01:45:59.239 --> 01:46:01.640
here to all re enact the crime, only the one

1699
01:46:01.640 --> 01:46:04.000
against me, Princey, the one against the Curate.

1700
01:46:04.079 --> 01:46:05.479
I'll leave to you people.

1701
01:46:06.279 --> 01:46:09.199
Extrawdinary's sense of humor. Mister prince her just had to

1702
01:46:09.279 --> 01:46:12.239
look at what's in your well. Not a priticide cat,

1703
01:46:12.399 --> 01:46:15.920
not pretty at all. Yes, Captain Smollett was thorough, if

1704
01:46:15.960 --> 01:46:17.760
nothing else. You saw him when he did it, sir,

1705
01:46:17.960 --> 01:46:21.239
out in the back. Oh quite, We were just returning

1706
01:46:21.239 --> 01:46:23.960
from a walk. Smollett evidently had been laying for the Curate,

1707
01:46:24.159 --> 01:46:26.279
hiding out in those bushes by the road. I imagine

1708
01:46:26.319 --> 01:46:31.000
it was never inside this house ever, until you say Captain.

1709
01:46:31.199 --> 01:46:33.399
I say that, while I was inside this house a

1710
01:46:33.479 --> 01:46:36.399
guest of the family, I was coerced into dragging the

1711
01:46:36.439 --> 01:46:38.640
curate's body outside and dumping it.

1712
01:46:38.600 --> 01:46:39.079
In the well.

1713
01:46:39.359 --> 01:46:42.920
Well there, we are not entirely, Constable.

1714
01:46:43.399 --> 01:46:47.520
I'll just remove my raincoat there and demonstrate how damp

1715
01:46:47.560 --> 01:46:50.279
I got my clothes when I went outside without it.

1716
01:46:50.960 --> 01:46:53.560
No, that's interesting, isn't.

1717
01:46:53.359 --> 01:46:57.560
It quite He undoubtedly removed his coat at some point

1718
01:46:57.600 --> 01:47:00.199
between here and your post. I might as well tell

1719
01:47:00.199 --> 01:47:02.760
you that his weapon, a red crooked mallet, is out

1720
01:47:02.800 --> 01:47:04.640
by the side of the house. I shouldn't be at

1721
01:47:04.640 --> 01:47:07.640
all surprised, but you'll find his fingerprints all over it,

1722
01:47:07.840 --> 01:47:10.760
all over the end of the merit, Constable, the end

1723
01:47:10.800 --> 01:47:14.079
that mashed withers his head, and not the end I'd

1724
01:47:14.079 --> 01:47:16.520
have had the grasp in order to do the mashing.

1725
01:47:17.000 --> 01:47:17.359
Governor.

1726
01:47:18.239 --> 01:47:20.960
That's a decent ry smollet, but it won't work.

1727
01:47:21.319 --> 01:47:24.479
There must be other evidence, is Constable will undoubtedly find

1728
01:47:24.520 --> 01:47:26.720
them when you examine the body. He means my hair

1729
01:47:26.840 --> 01:47:30.119
under withers his nails. Well, so if you look carefully,

1730
01:47:30.359 --> 01:47:32.840
I believe you'll find a few of my precious hairs

1731
01:47:32.920 --> 01:47:34.640
under his son's nails too.

1732
01:47:35.000 --> 01:47:36.199
Here what are you shut up?

1733
01:47:36.720 --> 01:47:38.920
Answerable? This is an utter waste of time.

1734
01:47:39.359 --> 01:47:41.800
So far as the violence struggled between Smollett and with us,

1735
01:47:41.800 --> 01:47:46.000
it's concerned. Smollett's face speaks for itself quite eloquently, I believe,

1736
01:47:46.159 --> 01:47:49.279
but no more eloquently than your son's knuckles, as you see,

1737
01:47:49.359 --> 01:47:50.840
confortable of fresh abrasion.

1738
01:47:51.119 --> 01:47:52.560
He did that on my teeth?

1739
01:47:53.439 --> 01:47:54.159
Or did he?

1740
01:47:55.199 --> 01:47:56.520
What I say?

1741
01:47:56.680 --> 01:48:00.119
Or did he he might have done that? Or on

1742
01:48:00.399 --> 01:48:07.079
with his teeth? Oh, I see, I see what you mean.

1743
01:48:07.119 --> 01:48:08.760
But but I didn't.

1744
01:48:09.359 --> 01:48:11.279
Governor, he said, I have keep still your knit to it.

1745
01:48:11.760 --> 01:48:13.079
Let me think, Let me think.

1746
01:48:13.199 --> 01:48:15.600
As a matter of fact, George, the more I think

1747
01:48:15.640 --> 01:48:18.159
of it, the more I'm convinced it was your voice.

1748
01:48:18.199 --> 01:48:21.680
I heard quite a vigorous quarrel, something about the curate

1749
01:48:21.800 --> 01:48:26.239
jilting your sister, or don't there ridiculous smillet? Very well, Princey,

1750
01:48:26.279 --> 01:48:28.119
If your son didn't do it.

1751
01:48:28.000 --> 01:48:28.560
Who did?

1752
01:48:29.119 --> 01:48:30.239
That's what I'd like to know.

1753
01:48:31.079 --> 01:48:36.359
How about it, mister Princey? Well back, That is a sticker,

1754
01:48:36.560 --> 01:48:37.079
all right?

1755
01:48:37.920 --> 01:48:41.720
George, my boy, it looks like you're elected elected.

1756
01:48:42.399 --> 01:48:44.760
What do you mean I didn't do it?

1757
01:48:44.880 --> 01:48:46.319
Your mouth shut? Will you?

1758
01:48:46.399 --> 01:48:48.000
I want I'm not going to take the plane for her.

1759
01:48:48.319 --> 01:48:48.880
Millie did it.

1760
01:48:49.239 --> 01:48:50.960
She did do with that mallet. I saw you could

1761
01:48:50.960 --> 01:48:51.520
prove that.

1762
01:48:51.840 --> 01:48:56.199
Prove it, Yes, her fingerprints on the mallet.

1763
01:48:56.359 --> 01:48:56.880
The handles.

1764
01:48:56.960 --> 01:48:59.560
Why, George, don't you remember when you made me touch

1765
01:48:59.600 --> 01:49:02.640
the marriage and you picked it up with your handkerchief. No, George,

1766
01:49:02.640 --> 01:49:05.520
I'm sure you wipe that handle clean. Oh well, I

1767
01:49:05.520 --> 01:49:08.119
could hardly expect you to remember that if you can't

1768
01:49:08.159 --> 01:49:11.760
even remember killing the curate Gonor, I told you to

1769
01:49:11.920 --> 01:49:13.560
keep still good, Governor.

1770
01:49:14.279 --> 01:49:16.399
You're not going to turn me over you as long.

1771
01:49:16.279 --> 01:49:19.760
As I can remember, George, you've been a trial and

1772
01:49:19.800 --> 01:49:21.119
a tribulation to me.

1773
01:49:21.520 --> 01:49:21.920
Governor.

1774
01:49:22.399 --> 01:49:26.239
You shouldn't have done it. Son, You really shouldn't know.

1775
01:49:26.520 --> 01:49:26.920
George.

1776
01:49:27.000 --> 01:49:31.960
That was definitely wrong, say Princey. I think I'll have

1777
01:49:32.000 --> 01:49:33.720
that cup of tea after all.

1778
01:49:33.960 --> 01:49:35.640
Nothing like it's in weather like this.

1779
01:49:39.439 --> 01:49:40.319
Wet Saturday.

1780
01:49:40.880 --> 01:49:42.760
From the short story by John Collier.

1781
01:49:43.920 --> 01:49:46.399
You have just heard the second in Columbia's News Series,

01:49:55.760 --> 01:49:57.199
Dramas of pure.

1786
01:50:01.199 --> 01:50:01.840
Suspense.

1787
01:50:09.840 --> 01:50:13.279
This Columbia feature is produced and directed by Charles Vander,

1788
01:50:13.960 --> 01:50:18.000
with scripts by Harold Medford and score by Bernard Hermann.

1789
01:50:20.880 --> 01:50:22.920
Be with us again next week at the same time

1790
01:50:23.119 --> 01:50:40.960
when we present Suspense. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.

1791
01:50:41.000 --> 01:50:49.760
My dear, how about just one more, one more for

1792
01:50:49.880 --> 01:50:54.199
the road, so to speak. I know how late it is,

1793
01:50:54.359 --> 01:50:59.520
I know how weary you can become, how you'll begin

1794
01:50:59.680 --> 01:51:04.399
to feel it in your bones, in your skin, in

1795
01:51:04.439 --> 01:51:11.960
your hair. But it is a fleeting feeling to be tired. However,

1796
01:51:13.199 --> 01:51:20.600
fear suspense, well that is forever. And everything else, well

1797
01:51:21.479 --> 01:51:23.600
that's in the accounting.

1798
01:51:25.520 --> 01:51:28.760
Wait a minute, have you heard the strange tales of

1799
01:51:28.800 --> 01:51:29.359
the Whistler.

1800
01:51:45.680 --> 01:51:47.399
I'm the whistler.

1801
01:51:51.720 --> 01:51:53.680
I didn't steal the money. I just want to use

1802
01:51:53.720 --> 01:51:55.359
it for a few days. I was going to put

1803
01:51:55.399 --> 01:51:58.239
it back. Things went wrong. That is going to be

1804
01:51:58.279 --> 01:52:01.079
a change of ownership. That means early audit.

1805
01:52:04.680 --> 01:52:07.920
Sunday night and again CBS presents the Whistler.

1806
01:52:13.359 --> 01:52:17.279
I the Whistler, know many things, for I walk by night.

1807
01:52:18.319 --> 01:52:22.199
I know many strange tales, many secrets hidden in the

1808
01:52:22.239 --> 01:52:25.159
hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows.

1809
01:52:26.720 --> 01:52:30.279
And so I tell you tonight the tale of the accounting.

1810
01:52:32.159 --> 01:52:35.199
Tom Bradford is a middle aged rancher living a few

1811
01:52:35.239 --> 01:52:38.439
miles out of town. Tom has married a widow with

1812
01:52:38.479 --> 01:52:41.560
a grown son named Ralph, who is inclined to be

1813
01:52:41.640 --> 01:52:46.319
shiftless and lazy. Tom resents this because times are difficult

1814
01:52:46.520 --> 01:52:49.359
and he's short of help. He further resents the fact

1815
01:52:49.399 --> 01:52:51.399
that the boy has married a girl from the town

1816
01:52:51.800 --> 01:52:52.399
and brought her.

1817
01:52:52.399 --> 01:52:53.000
To live with him.

1818
01:52:53.880 --> 01:52:54.880
They've been here.

1819
01:52:54.800 --> 01:52:58.920
For two months now and Tom has grown crabby and unpleasant.

1820
01:52:59.159 --> 01:53:01.640
You know the way conditions. Mary just can't get any

1821
01:53:01.680 --> 01:53:03.560
help in this Ranch's too much for me to handle alone.

1822
01:53:03.600 --> 01:53:07.039
I know Tom, but Ralph doesn't know anything about her ranch.

1823
01:53:07.199 --> 01:53:08.560
Ralph was raised in this city.

1824
01:53:08.640 --> 01:53:10.640
He can learn, but he's too lazy. On he does

1825
01:53:10.680 --> 01:53:11.840
is sit around and read magazines.

1826
01:53:11.920 --> 01:53:14.439
But he's a delicate sort of boy. He always has.

1827
01:53:14.560 --> 01:53:14.800
Well.

1828
01:53:14.960 --> 01:53:16.119
Let him go out and do a little work and

1829
01:53:16.119 --> 01:53:18.039
he won't be so delicate. You made a baby out

1830
01:53:18.079 --> 01:53:18.319
of him.

1831
01:53:18.359 --> 01:53:19.600
I've done no such thing.

1832
01:53:19.680 --> 01:53:21.479
If Ralph were able to help you, I'd be the

1833
01:53:21.520 --> 01:53:22.920
first one to ask him to do it.

1834
01:53:23.520 --> 01:53:25.119
Amount of twenty thing you wouldn't have to be asked.

1835
01:53:25.680 --> 01:53:26.960
I wish the army would take him here.

1836
01:53:26.960 --> 01:53:29.199
They deferred him because he wasn't strong enough.

1837
01:53:29.279 --> 01:53:30.840
Well, he's not too weak to do a little something

1838
01:53:30.880 --> 01:53:33.800
around here. That wife of his, that Vera, she's worse

1839
01:53:33.840 --> 01:53:36.039
than he is. She could do something. All she does

1840
01:53:36.119 --> 01:53:38.479
is dress herself up on baby Ralph. She loves, never

1841
01:53:38.680 --> 01:53:40.920
washes a dish because it might throw in her hands.

1842
01:53:41.119 --> 01:53:43.239
She can't cook, she can't do a thing. I don't

1843
01:53:43.319 --> 01:53:43.680
like her.

1844
01:53:44.119 --> 01:53:45.600
I think Vera's a nice girl.

1845
01:53:45.720 --> 01:53:47.479
All I can do without her her being here?

1846
01:53:48.119 --> 01:53:49.680
You mean you don't want her here?

1847
01:53:49.840 --> 01:53:51.000
That's exactly what I mean.

1848
01:53:51.520 --> 01:53:54.720
But if she left, that would mean that why Ralph

1849
01:53:54.720 --> 01:53:56.159
wouldn't stay here without Vera?

1850
01:53:56.319 --> 01:53:57.159
Then they can both go.

1851
01:53:57.520 --> 01:54:00.319
Do you know what you're saying? Ralph is my son.

1852
01:54:00.359 --> 01:54:01.760
I don't care who he is. He can get out

1853
01:54:01.760 --> 01:54:03.960
and shift for himself and take that steaming a little

1854
01:54:03.960 --> 01:54:04.840
bread of a wife with him.

1855
01:54:04.840 --> 01:54:07.960
Oh you're just upset, Tom. You feel different about things

1856
01:54:07.960 --> 01:54:11.560
in a few days. You must try to control yourselves.

1857
01:54:11.840 --> 01:54:14.199
Mary. Before they came here, you and I got along

1858
01:54:14.279 --> 01:54:17.960
very nicely. Since they've come, you've had nothing but arguments

1859
01:54:17.960 --> 01:54:21.960
and hard feelings. Ralph and Vera are constantly staring up trouble. Naturally,

1860
01:54:22.039 --> 01:54:24.079
you take Ralph's side you can't see his faults because

1861
01:54:24.079 --> 01:54:26.039
you're his mother, But at the same time you're his

1862
01:54:26.079 --> 01:54:26.680
worst enemy.

1863
01:54:26.760 --> 01:54:28.600
Tom, How can you say such a thing? I don't

1864
01:54:28.600 --> 01:54:30.199
know what I'm talking about, and I've made up my mind.

1865
01:54:30.199 --> 01:54:31.479
They've got to go go where?

1866
01:54:31.560 --> 01:54:32.359
What will they do?

1867
01:54:32.800 --> 01:54:34.840
Ralph figured it out? Let him get a job, job?

1868
01:54:35.479 --> 01:54:36.199
What can he do?

1869
01:54:36.319 --> 01:54:38.159
A lot of things? Is not that helpless?

1870
01:54:38.319 --> 01:54:40.319
But Tom, please, you don't understand.

1871
01:54:40.439 --> 01:54:42.600
I understand, all right, and that's final. He and Vera

1872
01:54:42.680 --> 01:54:43.319
can get out.

1873
01:54:43.159 --> 01:54:43.600
In the morning.

1874
01:54:44.560 --> 01:54:45.520
Very well.

1875
01:54:45.720 --> 01:54:48.520
I'll tell them, and perhaps I should go too. Is

1876
01:54:48.520 --> 01:54:49.199
that what you want?

1877
01:54:49.359 --> 01:54:51.439
Oh, now, don't be ridiculous, Mary, I didn't say that.

1878
01:54:51.479 --> 01:54:53.560
I thought you loved me. I never dreamed you could

1879
01:54:53.560 --> 01:54:53.960
be like.

1880
01:54:53.960 --> 01:54:56.600
This, not being mean, Mary, and I don't want to

1881
01:54:56.600 --> 01:55:00.279
talk about it anymore. You're going to tell him? Shall I?

1882
01:55:00.359 --> 01:55:02.560
Yes, Tom, I'll tell them very well.

1883
01:55:03.720 --> 01:55:19.399
I'm very tired, but I'm Mary.

1884
01:55:20.880 --> 01:55:28.479
Yes, Ralph Darling, it's mother. May I come in? Sorry

1885
01:55:28.520 --> 01:55:31.359
to disturb you so late, but I have to talk to.

1886
01:55:31.319 --> 01:55:34.119
You and Vera. What's the matter?

1887
01:55:34.640 --> 01:55:37.159
Well, I it's about Tom.

1888
01:55:37.399 --> 01:55:38.119
What about him?

1889
01:55:38.720 --> 01:55:38.920
Well?

1890
01:55:38.960 --> 01:55:41.039
I I don't know how to say it.

1891
01:55:41.319 --> 01:55:43.119
Say what what's wrong with her? I?

1892
01:55:43.119 --> 01:55:43.720
Don't know.

1893
01:55:43.800 --> 01:55:47.199
He just isn't himself. You know how terribly upset he's

1894
01:55:47.199 --> 01:55:50.319
been lately. But he doesn't understand rap.

1895
01:55:50.399 --> 01:55:52.520
He just doesn't understand, understand why.

1896
01:55:52.520 --> 01:55:57.359
He doesn't understand you. You and Vera, what's wrong with me? Nothing, Vera,

1897
01:55:57.520 --> 01:56:00.279
it's just Tom. He's in one of those spells. He

1898
01:56:00.279 --> 01:56:02.159
doesn't like anything or anybody.

1899
01:56:02.239 --> 01:56:05.279
You mean, he Sarah, Yes, Ralph, he's terribly upset.

1900
01:56:06.159 --> 01:56:08.760
Well, he thinks you're lazy. He's angry because you won't

1901
01:56:08.840 --> 01:56:10.000
help him around the ranch.

1902
01:56:10.479 --> 01:56:11.319
Oh, that's silly.

1903
01:56:11.359 --> 01:56:12.479
What do I know about a ranch?

1904
01:56:12.560 --> 01:56:12.840
Nothing?

1905
01:56:12.880 --> 01:56:14.960
I told him that, but he said you could learn.

1906
01:56:15.119 --> 01:56:17.279
I wouldn't last half a day doing this kind of work.

1907
01:56:17.560 --> 01:56:18.239
I'm not the time.

1908
01:56:18.319 --> 01:56:21.359
He's terribly unreasonable. He refuses to see it that way.

1909
01:56:21.720 --> 01:56:23.159
Well, not a heck with him?

1910
01:56:23.199 --> 01:56:25.520
Then I'm lazy too, Is that what he thinks?

1911
01:56:26.000 --> 01:56:29.479
Yes, Vera, I'm terribly sorry and embarrassed.

1912
01:56:29.680 --> 01:56:30.600
We aren't farmers.

1913
01:56:30.880 --> 01:56:32.880
I'm not gonna let Vera tend those compound of chickens,

1914
01:56:32.880 --> 01:56:34.079
and I'm not gonna milk any cows.

1915
01:56:34.119 --> 01:56:36.159
Yes, what do you think I am? Please? Ralph, don't

1916
01:56:36.159 --> 01:56:37.000
get excited.

1917
01:56:37.079 --> 01:56:38.880
Well, if he feels that way about me, i'll get out.

1918
01:56:38.960 --> 01:56:39.560
What you'll do?

1919
01:56:39.640 --> 01:56:40.199
No such thing.

1920
01:56:40.239 --> 01:56:41.760
We'll stay right here, like get ready.

1921
01:56:41.560 --> 01:56:45.000
To leave, Ralph, Darling, Tom wants you to leave in

1922
01:56:45.000 --> 01:56:45.479
the morning.

1923
01:56:47.199 --> 01:56:49.279
Well, of all the nerves, this is your house.

1924
01:56:49.319 --> 01:56:51.359
Tour is not yes, But Ralph, if you stay here,

1925
01:56:51.399 --> 01:56:53.239
you'll have to work, and I don't want you to

1926
01:56:53.319 --> 01:56:53.880
have to do that.

1927
01:56:53.920 --> 01:56:57.000
You couldn't stand it. It wouldn't be good for you.

1928
01:56:57.000 --> 01:56:58.159
You mean you want us to leave.

1929
01:56:58.279 --> 01:56:59.680
No, I don't want you to.

1930
01:57:00.479 --> 01:57:02.359
But I've thought it all over, and I think you'd

1931
01:57:02.359 --> 01:57:03.359
better go into town.

1932
01:57:03.840 --> 01:57:06.079
But don't worry. I'll see that you get along all right.

1933
01:57:06.600 --> 01:57:09.479
How wow, I'll have to get a job.

1934
01:57:10.119 --> 01:57:13.159
Well, maybe you can find something to do, something light,

1935
01:57:14.119 --> 01:57:15.159
What a fine man.

1936
01:57:15.399 --> 01:57:18.479
I'm sorry, darling, but you better go in the morning.

1937
01:57:18.840 --> 01:57:19.039
Go.

1938
01:57:20.319 --> 01:57:22.159
I wouldn't stay around here another day.

1939
01:57:22.640 --> 01:57:25.760
Well, I know bookkeeping. Maybe I could get a job

1940
01:57:25.800 --> 01:57:28.079
in the bank. I didn't. It's hard work.

1941
01:57:28.239 --> 01:57:32.039
No, But don't worry, Darley, I won't. Good night.

1942
01:57:40.720 --> 01:57:43.680
The next morning, after breakfast, Ralph and Vera leave the

1943
01:57:43.760 --> 01:57:47.319
ranch and go into town. A few days later, Ralph

1944
01:57:47.359 --> 01:57:50.840
obtains a job in the bank. Then, after a month

1945
01:57:50.960 --> 01:57:53.119
or so, he is promoted from the adding machine to

1946
01:57:53.159 --> 01:57:57.000
the teller's cage. Now two months more have passed, and

1947
01:57:57.079 --> 01:57:59.960
the young teller in the next cage steps into Ralph's compartment.

1948
01:58:00.159 --> 01:58:03.800
It's busy round huh. Oh. I don't know her, but

1949
01:58:03.960 --> 01:58:07.000
I've just found things going alright her.

1950
01:58:07.319 --> 01:58:12.119
Yeah, seemed to be having some trouble round trouble.

1951
01:58:12.640 --> 01:58:13.199
What are you mean?

1952
01:58:13.319 --> 01:58:15.560
Oh, I don't know. You looked a little worried.

1953
01:58:15.640 --> 01:58:17.399
I thought maybe you were having a.

1954
01:58:17.319 --> 01:58:19.399
Bit of difficulty making things balance.

1955
01:58:19.760 --> 01:58:22.000
What do you mean now by not having any trouble?

1956
01:58:22.600 --> 01:58:23.600
What gave you that idea?

1957
01:58:23.600 --> 01:58:25.520
Well, I've been off a few cents a couple of times,

1958
01:58:25.560 --> 01:58:28.359
and believe me, I know what it means. Why I've

1959
01:58:28.399 --> 01:58:31.439
worked all night several times trying to find what happened

1960
01:58:31.439 --> 01:58:32.239
to you two cents?

1961
01:58:33.279 --> 01:58:34.640
I know how it feels.

1962
01:58:35.079 --> 01:58:37.039
Yeah, did you find it?

1963
01:58:37.239 --> 01:58:40.039
Well, I didn't find the two cents, but I found

1964
01:58:40.079 --> 01:58:41.760
the error in my fingers.

1965
01:58:41.800 --> 01:58:46.880
Well, I haven't found the error in my figures, haven't you. Well,

1966
01:58:46.960 --> 01:58:50.000
that's that's good. What would be wrong with my books?

1967
01:58:50.119 --> 01:58:50.359
Why?

1968
01:58:50.399 --> 01:58:53.439
I didn't say anything would be wrong? I Well, I

1969
01:58:53.520 --> 01:58:56.079
just thought you looked a bit worried. Well, maybe I

1970
01:58:56.079 --> 01:58:56.840
could help you.

1971
01:58:57.119 --> 01:58:58.920
I don't need any help I'm quite able to take

1972
01:58:58.920 --> 01:58:59.960
care of my responsibilities.

1973
01:59:00.119 --> 01:59:03.479
Good glad to hear it. By the way, have you

1974
01:59:04.039 --> 01:59:04.760
heard the news?

1975
01:59:05.119 --> 01:59:05.680
What news?

1976
01:59:06.119 --> 01:59:08.840
This bank is being taken over by a system and

1977
01:59:08.840 --> 01:59:10.319
it is to become one of its branches.

1978
01:59:11.039 --> 01:59:13.920
You know what that means? No, what's in me?

1979
01:59:14.399 --> 01:59:17.079
It means a complete audit before the end of this month.

1980
01:59:17.880 --> 01:59:23.279
That isn't very far away, about fifteen days. Yeah, I

1981
01:59:23.399 --> 01:59:25.199
just thought you would want everything in order.

1982
01:59:26.119 --> 01:59:27.279
I know I would.

1983
01:59:27.600 --> 01:59:31.199
Yeah, well, thanks for the information.

1984
01:59:31.840 --> 01:59:32.760
You're welcome, ralphs.

1985
01:59:39.920 --> 01:59:40.640
For a few.

1986
01:59:40.479 --> 01:59:45.800
Moments, Rouse stands in a stupor. Perspiration stands out in

1987
01:59:45.960 --> 01:59:50.079
large fees on his forehead. For the next hour, he

1988
01:59:50.239 --> 01:59:54.279
studies over his books frantically. Then, when closing time comes,

1989
01:59:54.279 --> 01:59:55.039
he rushes home.

1990
01:59:56.039 --> 01:59:58.359
Hello, darling, Oh, you have no idea how much I've

1991
01:59:58.359 --> 01:59:59.600
missed you all day?

1992
02:00:00.439 --> 02:00:00.800
Kiss me?

1993
02:00:01.800 --> 02:00:03.119
Yeah, what's the.

1994
02:00:03.199 --> 02:00:03.840
Matter with you?

1995
02:00:04.600 --> 02:00:04.960
Nothing?

1996
02:00:05.479 --> 02:00:06.960
Well, I'm certainly disappointed.

1997
02:00:07.199 --> 02:00:08.039
What about you.

1998
02:00:08.039 --> 02:00:09.560
Come in like this with a long face and look

1999
02:00:09.600 --> 02:00:10.520
at the lovely dinner.

2000
02:00:10.319 --> 02:00:10.960
I fixed for you.

2001
02:00:11.600 --> 02:00:13.920
I'm not very hungry vera. I got a headache.

2002
02:00:14.359 --> 02:00:17.399
Oh, poor darling, You eat something and then I'll rub

2003
02:00:17.439 --> 02:00:17.720
your head.

2004
02:00:18.000 --> 02:00:19.039
Well, I don't want anything.

2005
02:00:19.359 --> 02:00:19.960
Let me alone.

2006
02:00:20.039 --> 02:00:21.960
Please, What on earth is wrong with you?

2007
02:00:22.039 --> 02:00:22.920
Nothing's wrong with me.

2008
02:00:23.760 --> 02:00:25.600
How dare you talk to me like that? Who do

2009
02:00:25.640 --> 02:00:26.319
you think you are?

2010
02:00:28.560 --> 02:00:31.439
I'm sorry, darling, I'm just upset.

2011
02:00:31.479 --> 02:00:34.199
I'm all on edge. What about just my nerves?

2012
02:00:34.359 --> 02:00:36.920
It's more than nerves. Why don't you tell me what's happened?

2013
02:00:37.039 --> 02:00:38.359
Who said anything that happened?

2014
02:00:38.520 --> 02:00:41.720
I can tell. Have you lost your job?

2015
02:00:42.800 --> 02:00:42.840
No?

2016
02:00:43.319 --> 02:00:44.760
Is that telling you lost fifty dollars? To do in

2017
02:00:44.800 --> 02:00:45.760
that poker Game's rightning you?

2018
02:00:45.960 --> 02:00:46.359
Is that it?

2019
02:00:47.800 --> 02:00:50.119
Look you, I'm in a spot.

2020
02:00:50.680 --> 02:00:52.680
I don't know what to do, but the bank is

2021
02:00:52.760 --> 02:00:54.800
changing hands and I'll be ANUTI before.

2022
02:00:54.600 --> 02:00:55.239
The end of the month.

2023
02:00:55.600 --> 02:00:57.960
Well, what of it? What's that to do with the

2024
02:00:58.000 --> 02:00:58.640
poker player?

2025
02:00:58.680 --> 02:00:59.119
Oh? Nothing?

2026
02:00:59.119 --> 02:01:03.439
I paid him off. But it wasn't fifty dollars.

2027
02:01:03.800 --> 02:01:08.399
It wasn't fifty What was it two thousand dollars? Two

2028
02:01:08.439 --> 02:01:09.359
thousand dollars.

2029
02:01:09.359 --> 02:01:11.319
I didn't lose it all at once, but I tried

2030
02:01:11.319 --> 02:01:12.359
to make back what I'd lost.

2031
02:01:12.399 --> 02:01:13.399
I only gotten deeper.

2032
02:01:14.079 --> 02:01:16.520
Then, if you lost two thousand dollars, how did you

2033
02:01:16.560 --> 02:01:17.079
pay him more?

2034
02:01:17.880 --> 02:01:20.239
I borrowed it from the bank.

2035
02:01:20.359 --> 02:01:22.439
How could you borrow two thousand dollars from the bank.

2036
02:01:24.119 --> 02:01:24.880
I took it.

2037
02:01:25.640 --> 02:01:27.560
What, Yes, but I was sure I could put it

2038
02:01:27.560 --> 02:01:30.319
back before the end of the month. No, I'm worried.

2039
02:01:30.520 --> 02:01:32.359
I don't know what to do it. If I don't

2040
02:01:32.359 --> 02:01:34.039
put it back before the audit, I'll get caught and

2041
02:01:34.119 --> 02:01:34.840
sent the prison.

2042
02:01:35.039 --> 02:01:36.800
Where are we going to get two thousand dollars?

2043
02:01:36.840 --> 02:01:40.119
I don't know, but there must be some way, someplace.

2044
02:01:39.640 --> 02:01:40.119
To get it.

2045
02:01:41.359 --> 02:01:45.119
How about your mother, she'd give it to you. Tom

2046
02:01:45.159 --> 02:01:45.760
has money.

2047
02:01:45.960 --> 02:01:47.079
He doesn't like us.

2048
02:01:47.279 --> 02:01:51.079
No, well, maybe we could make him like it, at

2049
02:01:51.159 --> 02:01:53.720
least we could try. Let's drive over there. This is

2050
02:01:53.720 --> 02:01:56.760
Saturday afternoon, and next Monday is a legal holiday. Let's

2051
02:01:56.800 --> 02:01:58.600
drive over and see what we can do.

2052
02:01:59.359 --> 02:02:03.880
All right, the least we can do is try. We'll go.

2053
02:02:13.800 --> 02:02:16.840
Ralph and Via drive to the ranch, and as they

2054
02:02:16.840 --> 02:02:19.159
go up to the porch, they hear Tom arguing in

2055
02:02:19.199 --> 02:02:21.840
a loud voice with another man just around the corner

2056
02:02:21.880 --> 02:02:23.920
of the house. They slipped to the edge of the

2057
02:02:23.920 --> 02:02:24.640
porch and listen.

2058
02:02:24.600 --> 02:02:27.520
All right, all right, I tell you what I'm gonna do.

2059
02:02:28.000 --> 02:02:30.359
I've given you all the time a candler that this

2060
02:02:30.560 --> 02:02:32.079
labor for two years now, and you have to pay

2061
02:02:32.119 --> 02:02:33.279
a dollar me on the down paper.

2062
02:02:33.880 --> 02:02:35.600
I've tied my best to make it pay.

2063
02:02:35.680 --> 02:02:38.800
I've worked hard, you have done a thing.

2064
02:02:39.319 --> 02:02:40.000
You know what you are.

2065
02:02:40.560 --> 02:02:42.920
You're just one of those lazy, subsistant farmers.

2066
02:02:43.319 --> 02:02:43.800
Just grown up?

2067
02:02:43.840 --> 02:02:44.319
Eat manna.

2068
02:02:44.359 --> 02:02:44.720
Go there.

2069
02:02:44.920 --> 02:02:45.720
That's a live wreck.

2070
02:02:45.800 --> 02:02:46.279
Oh is it?

2071
02:02:47.039 --> 02:02:48.239
Ron'd foreclosing tomorrow?

2072
02:02:48.439 --> 02:02:49.920
There's a lot of money cut up in Atlanta.

2073
02:02:50.000 --> 02:02:52.840
Nine needs I Every cent I have is there.

2074
02:02:53.359 --> 02:02:55.920
I want you out of there by tomorrow. But look here,

2075
02:02:56.680 --> 02:02:57.640
my wife is sick.

2076
02:02:57.680 --> 02:02:59.600
I can't need no, I won't.

2077
02:03:01.039 --> 02:03:03.439
Yeah, or you better be at my noon, Miller, or

2078
02:03:03.479 --> 02:03:05.920
you'll get five. I guess it's soon.

2079
02:03:07.439 --> 02:03:07.920
What do you do?

2080
02:03:09.960 --> 02:03:10.319
Get up?

2081
02:03:11.479 --> 02:03:12.840
Ye, I'll go.

2082
02:03:13.920 --> 02:03:15.520
You just remember what I say?

2083
02:03:17.000 --> 02:03:18.920
Wow, what do you think of that?

2084
02:03:19.439 --> 02:03:22.479
Come on, let's go on in and talk to your mother.

2085
02:03:23.119 --> 02:03:25.640
Tom's gonna have a stroke one of these days. Even

2086
02:03:25.720 --> 02:03:27.239
warn about those fits of temper.

2087
02:03:29.439 --> 02:03:31.119
Might be a good thing for everybody if something did

2088
02:03:31.159 --> 02:03:31.760
happen to him.

2089
02:03:32.960 --> 02:03:35.199
Yeah, maybe so.

2090
02:03:35.880 --> 02:03:37.520
Oh hello, Ralph Darling.

2091
02:03:37.880 --> 02:03:40.279
I didn't expect you down today. He has an extra

2092
02:03:40.359 --> 02:03:41.720
day off, so we thought we'd come down.

2093
02:03:43.000 --> 02:03:44.800
Do you hear Tom arguing? And that's Phillo Miller?

2094
02:03:44.960 --> 02:03:46.920
Just now, Yes, I heard them.

2095
02:03:47.760 --> 02:03:49.520
Tom better not play around with me. He's a tough

2096
02:03:49.560 --> 02:03:50.239
looking customer.

2097
02:03:50.399 --> 02:03:53.479
Tom gets worse every day, the ransom raised at the

2098
02:03:53.560 --> 02:03:56.319
least little thing hasn't spoken to me civilly for weeks.

2099
02:03:56.920 --> 02:03:58.880
I can't stand it here any longer. I'm glad you

2100
02:03:58.960 --> 02:04:00.119
came because I'm going back.

2101
02:04:00.079 --> 02:04:02.560
With you, going back leaving Tom.

2102
02:04:02.640 --> 02:04:04.079
I've got to He's unbearable.

2103
02:04:04.119 --> 02:04:05.560
But mother, you can't leave him.

2104
02:04:05.800 --> 02:04:06.840
That is not just now?

2105
02:04:07.279 --> 02:04:09.000
Why not? Well, you've got to put up with him

2106
02:04:09.000 --> 02:04:10.079
for a while longer, because.

2107
02:04:09.920 --> 02:04:10.960
Why don't you tell Ralph?

2108
02:04:11.560 --> 02:04:12.920
Well, what is it? What's happened?

2109
02:04:13.479 --> 02:04:17.399
Rather than trouble? He needs some money, darling, what's happened?

2110
02:04:17.479 --> 02:04:21.399
Tell mother? Well, I borrowed some money from the bank.

2111
02:04:22.399 --> 02:04:24.039
I have to pay it back before the end of

2112
02:04:24.119 --> 02:04:26.720
the month. How much two thousand dollars?

2113
02:04:26.920 --> 02:04:28.159
What good?

2114
02:04:28.439 --> 02:04:32.239
Heavens well, if you can't pay it back now, they'll

2115
02:04:32.279 --> 02:04:33.000
have to extend it.

2116
02:04:33.079 --> 02:04:35.239
They can't do anything else. Oh yes, they can now

2117
02:04:35.319 --> 02:04:36.079
send him to jail.

2118
02:04:36.359 --> 02:04:40.000
You see, they didn't know I'm borrowed it, Ralph, darling,

2119
02:04:40.920 --> 02:04:43.760
you mean you stolen No, I didn't steal it. I

2120
02:04:43.920 --> 02:04:45.720
was just wandered for a few days. I was going

2121
02:04:45.760 --> 02:04:48.640
to pay it back. Things went wrong, and now there's

2122
02:04:48.640 --> 02:04:50.720
going to be a change of ownership. That means an audit.

2123
02:04:51.000 --> 02:04:52.399
He's got to have the money right away.

2124
02:04:52.560 --> 02:04:53.399
But what can I do?

2125
02:04:53.560 --> 02:04:57.000
I haven't anything, Tom, You've got your Tom needs every

2126
02:04:57.079 --> 02:04:58.720
cent he has to hold onto this place.

2127
02:04:58.880 --> 02:05:01.319
Well you can ask him. You've got to do something.

2128
02:05:01.560 --> 02:05:03.079
Do you want Ralph to go to the penitentiary?

2129
02:05:03.199 --> 02:05:03.800
Good heavens?

2130
02:05:03.920 --> 02:05:05.439
No, And hurry up and.

2131
02:05:05.479 --> 02:05:08.479
Talk to me. Hi, What'll I say?

2132
02:05:08.560 --> 02:05:10.479
Oh? You'll think of something. Go on in and talk

2133
02:05:10.560 --> 02:05:10.760
to me.

2134
02:05:11.039 --> 02:05:13.279
But do you think this is the time I'm desperate.

2135
02:05:13.359 --> 02:05:14.920
I need that money in one way or another.

2136
02:05:14.920 --> 02:05:15.560
I'm going to get you.

2137
02:05:15.640 --> 02:05:18.479
Oh yes, yes, darling. Don't get excited. It isn't good

2138
02:05:18.600 --> 02:05:21.640
for you. I'll talk to him now.

2139
02:05:21.920 --> 02:05:24.119
He just came in the back way. We'll wait in here.

2140
02:05:24.520 --> 02:05:32.039
Here's all right, Oh Tom, look at your face. It's

2141
02:05:32.119 --> 02:05:35.239
flaming red. You shouldn't let yourself get so worked up

2142
02:05:35.279 --> 02:05:35.800
over things.

2143
02:05:35.840 --> 02:05:39.199
Melissa lazy good for nothing? For well, he knows I

2144
02:05:39.279 --> 02:05:41.319
mean business. He'd better be gone by tomorrow.

2145
02:05:41.399 --> 02:05:42.199
No, she'll go.

2146
02:05:42.399 --> 02:05:43.079
Don't worry.

2147
02:05:44.319 --> 02:05:46.680
You can threaten to kill me, please, Tom, forget about it.

2148
02:05:47.319 --> 02:05:49.439
Come on, dear, sit down, your lunch is ready.

2149
02:05:49.720 --> 02:05:53.319
Don't really need that land, just that I can't tolerate shiftless,

2150
02:05:53.319 --> 02:05:57.199
irresponsible people and places worth five thousand dollars. Miller paid

2151
02:05:57.239 --> 02:05:59.159
seven hundred and fifty down but on a two years

2152
02:05:59.199 --> 02:06:00.720
and hasn't made a dame since.

2153
02:06:01.840 --> 02:06:05.840
Tom, dear, I I need some money.

2154
02:06:06.000 --> 02:06:09.319
Eh, well, that's not unusual. Hav me to check book.

2155
02:06:10.119 --> 02:06:11.279
By the way, I've got a list of things you

2156
02:06:11.279 --> 02:06:11.800
can get from.

2157
02:06:11.720 --> 02:06:12.159
Me in town.

2158
02:06:12.760 --> 02:06:15.520
How much do you want, Mary, I want to borrow

2159
02:06:15.680 --> 02:06:16.079
some money.

2160
02:06:16.159 --> 02:06:18.039
Tom, this wonder you have to borrow money?

2161
02:06:18.119 --> 02:06:19.199
Well, I want to borrow it.

2162
02:06:19.399 --> 02:06:23.159
That's ridiculous to borrow it. How much do you want?

2163
02:06:23.720 --> 02:06:24.600
Two thousand dollars?

2164
02:06:26.680 --> 02:06:27.319
Are you crazy?

2165
02:06:27.399 --> 02:06:29.000
No, Tom, I need two thousand dollars.

2166
02:06:29.600 --> 02:06:32.399
You possibly need it would cost that much. You certainly

2167
02:06:32.439 --> 02:06:36.960
have everything that Wait a minute, what are you getting it?

2168
02:06:37.039 --> 02:06:37.279
Married?

2169
02:06:37.319 --> 02:06:37.560
Please?

2170
02:06:37.600 --> 02:06:39.560
Tom, please lend it to me. I'll pay it back,

2171
02:06:39.640 --> 02:06:40.119
I promise.

2172
02:06:40.239 --> 02:06:42.199
How just how would you pay it back? You have

2173
02:06:42.279 --> 02:06:43.119
no earning capacity?

2174
02:06:43.279 --> 02:06:46.760
Well, I know, but Ralph has he I thought it

2175
02:06:46.840 --> 02:06:49.000
was something like that once he got up asleep. He

2176
02:06:49.079 --> 02:06:50.239
needs two thousand right away?

2177
02:06:50.359 --> 02:06:51.039
Oh he does?

2178
02:06:51.319 --> 02:06:51.520
Well?

2179
02:06:51.640 --> 02:06:52.560
What for what she done?

2180
02:06:52.640 --> 02:06:52.760
Why?

2181
02:06:52.880 --> 02:06:53.199
Nothing?

2182
02:06:53.279 --> 02:06:56.920
But he has an opportunity to Well, it's a business proposition.

2183
02:06:57.239 --> 02:06:58.399
Do you expect me to believe that.

2184
02:06:58.960 --> 02:07:01.000
What's he done something at the bank?

2185
02:07:01.399 --> 02:07:03.680
She's well quit darling.

2186
02:07:03.720 --> 02:07:05.399
Did he borrow from the bank and forget to tell

2187
02:07:05.479 --> 02:07:05.920
them about it?

2188
02:07:07.159 --> 02:07:07.359
Yes?

2189
02:07:09.199 --> 02:07:13.119
Oh, Tom, please please let me have it. They might

2190
02:07:13.199 --> 02:07:14.039
send him to jail.

2191
02:07:14.159 --> 02:07:16.319
Say, oh no, not Ralph.

2192
02:07:16.560 --> 02:07:18.119
He couldn't stand Please Tom.

2193
02:07:18.039 --> 02:07:21.000
Please, he's so young, he didn't realize what he was doing.

2194
02:07:21.159 --> 02:07:21.920
Let him go to jail.

2195
02:07:22.079 --> 02:07:23.760
Maybe they'll teach him that the world wasn't made for

2196
02:07:23.840 --> 02:07:24.199
him alone.

2197
02:07:24.279 --> 02:07:24.319
You.

2198
02:07:25.399 --> 02:07:27.359
Oh, I know he was no good on the first

2199
02:07:27.399 --> 02:07:29.399
day he came here, and that snip of Averia is worse.

2200
02:07:29.680 --> 02:07:30.720
She probably put him up.

2201
02:07:30.720 --> 02:07:33.279
Please help us, Tom, Please, I wouldn't give a damn

2202
02:07:33.319 --> 02:07:33.720
to help him.

2203
02:07:33.720 --> 02:07:35.920
He belongs in jail as far as I'm concerned, that

2204
02:07:36.039 --> 02:07:36.520
just where You're.

2205
02:07:36.439 --> 02:07:39.439
Good to Please to listen to me.

2206
02:07:45.399 --> 02:07:49.159
Oh, Ralph, he refused, He won't help.

2207
02:07:49.279 --> 02:07:51.079
I heard him, the stingial crab.

2208
02:07:51.239 --> 02:07:53.399
Oh he doesn't like me. Eh, he should know what

2209
02:07:53.479 --> 02:07:56.279
I think about him. I'd stick a knife between his

2210
02:07:56.479 --> 02:07:59.520
ribs and well.

2211
02:08:00.800 --> 02:08:05.159
Yeah, really could Yes, what do you saying?

2212
02:08:05.840 --> 02:08:06.680
What are you thinking?

2213
02:08:07.439 --> 02:08:07.680
Nothing?

2214
02:08:07.760 --> 02:08:11.640
Mother, nothing, I'm just thinking Tom has been very good healthy.

2215
02:08:12.359 --> 02:08:15.119
You gotta be careful about those rages. He's likely to

2216
02:08:15.279 --> 02:08:16.439
die in one of those spells.

2217
02:08:16.880 --> 02:08:19.199
Yes, that would be too bad.

2218
02:08:20.079 --> 02:08:21.960
Has Tom any living relatives?

2219
02:08:22.560 --> 02:08:22.600
No?

2220
02:08:23.319 --> 02:08:25.840
I hope for your sake, mother, that he he's kept

2221
02:08:25.920 --> 02:08:27.680
up in that insurance policy that he has.

2222
02:08:28.800 --> 02:08:31.680
That's you now? How much was that fifty thousand, wasn't he?

2223
02:08:32.640 --> 02:08:37.760
Yes, that's a lot of money. Oh, but we mustn't

2224
02:08:37.760 --> 02:08:41.680
talk like this. Mother would feel terrible if if Tom should.

2225
02:08:42.800 --> 02:08:45.640
After all, he's her husband. She loves him.

2226
02:08:46.960 --> 02:08:50.760
Yes, yes, of course, you'll have to face it sooner

2227
02:08:50.840 --> 02:08:52.640
or later. He's getting along years.

2228
02:08:52.760 --> 02:08:55.079
On the other hand, he may live a long time yet,

2229
02:08:55.760 --> 02:08:56.279
who knows.

2230
02:08:56.840 --> 02:09:00.359
Yeah, yeah, I'd be afraid of that Miller after the

2231
02:09:00.399 --> 02:09:05.000
threads we heard of me, Ralph Darling. I, yes, Mother,

2232
02:09:05.159 --> 02:09:05.880
what are you going to say?

2233
02:09:07.399 --> 02:09:09.119
Nothing? I wasn't going to say anything.

2234
02:09:10.119 --> 02:09:12.159
Come on, Dora, let's get our things out of the car.

2235
02:09:20.720 --> 02:09:23.880
Tom goes into town and arranges for the eviction papers

2236
02:09:23.960 --> 02:09:27.680
to be served on Miller. He returns late that evening

2237
02:09:27.720 --> 02:09:33.640
and goes straight to bed. The night passes and morning comes. Tom,

2238
02:09:33.800 --> 02:09:37.800
being an outdoor man, is usually up before sunrise, but

2239
02:09:37.960 --> 02:09:43.239
this morning, only Mary, Ralph, and Vera appear for breakfast. Finally, Mary,

2240
02:09:43.359 --> 02:09:48.239
becoming worried, goes to Tom's room and knocks, does not answer.

2241
02:09:48.920 --> 02:09:51.279
She opens the door and screams in horror. They're on

2242
02:09:51.359 --> 02:09:53.359
the bed lies Tom stabbed in the heart.

2243
02:09:58.399 --> 02:10:01.800
Well, he's been dead since about mid bedroom window was open,

2244
02:10:01.880 --> 02:10:03.079
but we can't find the weapon.

2245
02:10:03.199 --> 02:10:06.319
Boy, he probably took it with him. Sheriff, Oh, that

2246
02:10:06.479 --> 02:10:08.399
fellow Miller, he must have done it.

2247
02:10:09.159 --> 02:10:09.880
How do you know that?

2248
02:10:11.000 --> 02:10:13.159
Well, let me say yesterday after noon and he and

2249
02:10:13.279 --> 02:10:16.199
Tom had a terrific argument. Tom was evicting him, and

2250
02:10:16.359 --> 02:10:17.520
Miller threatened to kill.

2251
02:10:17.399 --> 02:10:19.159
Tom anybody else hear him say that?

2252
02:10:19.439 --> 02:10:21.720
Yes, I heard him, so did I?

2253
02:10:22.279 --> 02:10:24.680
Yeah, that it looks like Miller's our man. We'll get

2254
02:10:24.720 --> 02:10:26.600
over there right away before he has a chance to skip.

2255
02:10:26.760 --> 02:10:36.000
Come on, bill, oh roo, No, no, you better go

2256
02:10:36.039 --> 02:10:36.560
to your room.

2257
02:10:36.479 --> 02:10:37.119
And try to rest.

2258
02:10:38.119 --> 02:10:44.439
Yes, certainly, hope they catch Miller. Do you think they

2259
02:10:44.479 --> 02:10:46.800
can pin it on him without any evidence?

2260
02:10:47.439 --> 02:10:50.319
Certainly you heard what the sheriff said, Miller's threats all

2261
02:10:50.399 --> 02:10:50.680
in need.

2262
02:10:52.720 --> 02:10:54.720
Do you think Miller did it? Don't you? Why?

2263
02:10:54.840 --> 02:10:55.600
Of course I do?

2264
02:10:56.359 --> 02:10:57.600
What a silly question.

2265
02:11:07.359 --> 02:11:11.000
When the sheriff arrives, he finds that Miller has gone.

2266
02:11:11.760 --> 02:11:15.800
They put out a search for him. Now Ralph is

2267
02:11:15.880 --> 02:11:18.600
back at the bank in the cage next to a third.

2268
02:11:19.119 --> 02:11:22.800
Well, Ralph, they haven't found that fellow Miller yet. No,

2269
02:11:23.920 --> 02:11:24.640
Well I'll find it.

2270
02:11:25.199 --> 02:11:28.159
Do you really think it was Miller who killed your stepfather?

2271
02:11:29.800 --> 02:11:30.520
Of course I do.

2272
02:11:30.640 --> 02:11:32.520
He threatened to kill him. Three of us heard him.

2273
02:11:32.640 --> 02:11:35.359
Well, sometimes people say things that they never mean.

2274
02:11:35.279 --> 02:11:35.920
To carry out.

2275
02:11:35.960 --> 02:11:38.239
Well, you should have heard him he murdered. Maybe he did,

2276
02:11:39.000 --> 02:11:42.039
but that doesn't mean he did it. What are you

2277
02:11:42.159 --> 02:11:44.560
talking about, Oh, I was just thinking.

2278
02:11:45.319 --> 02:11:50.479
Yeah, circumstantial evidence is an awful thing sometimes. What do

2279
02:11:50.560 --> 02:11:53.640
you mean, Well, so many people have been convicted on

2280
02:11:53.720 --> 02:11:55.399
a mere word, a mere nothing.

2281
02:11:56.119 --> 02:11:57.119
People hear a person.

2282
02:11:56.960 --> 02:11:59.399
Say something, and by the time they repeated and court

2283
02:11:59.439 --> 02:12:02.880
the enlarged a dozen times. I remember a fellow who

2284
02:12:02.920 --> 02:12:05.640
worked here, in fact, in your cage.

2285
02:12:06.239 --> 02:12:08.560
What about Well, he used.

2286
02:12:08.399 --> 02:12:10.399
To play poker quite a bit, and one night he

2287
02:12:10.439 --> 02:12:13.000
made a haul one four or five hundred dollars, went

2288
02:12:13.119 --> 02:12:13.600
flashing his.

2289
02:12:13.680 --> 02:12:16.560
Roll around town and boasting, and so what was wrong

2290
02:12:16.600 --> 02:12:16.760
with that?

2291
02:12:17.079 --> 02:12:20.479
Well, he went into the drug store and started showing off,

2292
02:12:20.560 --> 02:12:22.760
and when the old druggist asked him where he got

2293
02:12:22.760 --> 02:12:24.640
all of that money, he kiddingly remarked that he had

2294
02:12:25.479 --> 02:12:29.359
robbed the bank. Well, I'd got around and finally took

2295
02:12:29.399 --> 02:12:31.880
on a serious tone. They checked up here at the bank,

2296
02:12:31.960 --> 02:12:34.680
and sure enough there was a five hundred dollars shortage,

2297
02:12:35.239 --> 02:12:37.079
and even though his powell swore that he'd won it

2298
02:12:37.159 --> 02:12:40.520
in the game, they convicted him on his statement and

2299
02:12:40.600 --> 02:12:41.159
set him up.

2300
02:12:41.760 --> 02:12:45.000
Or maybe he did steal it. He had the opportunity

2301
02:12:45.640 --> 02:12:52.680
I have and you have. Yeah, Well, is he still

2302
02:12:52.720 --> 02:12:55.680
on the pance? No, he was lucky. He got out

2303
02:12:55.720 --> 02:12:59.920
after five years. Huh how'd he get off? He was exonerated.

2304
02:13:00.520 --> 02:13:02.840
Another teller confessed to it later, and he sent him up.

2305
02:13:03.199 --> 02:13:04.039
Let the other kid out.

2306
02:13:05.239 --> 02:13:09.760
It was lucky. Five years. Yep, it's a long time.

2307
02:13:11.079 --> 02:13:13.439
It'd be a shame if Miller were convicted in the

2308
02:13:13.520 --> 02:13:16.479
same way and then they later found out that he

2309
02:13:16.640 --> 02:13:19.560
was innocent, wouldn't it ever?

2310
02:13:19.880 --> 02:13:20.439
Oh he did.

2311
02:13:20.720 --> 02:13:23.439
He had the motive, the opportunity, he said.

2312
02:13:23.239 --> 02:13:25.600
He'd do it. Well, he may not have been the

2313
02:13:25.680 --> 02:13:30.479
only one with the motive. Sapter three. I'm going to

2314
02:13:30.560 --> 02:13:32.760
run along see you in the morning. Herb so long.

2315
02:13:39.880 --> 02:13:43.319
Ralph grabs his hat, his face tense with anxiety as

2316
02:13:43.319 --> 02:13:46.359
he hurries down the street to his car. He drives

2317
02:13:46.439 --> 02:13:49.199
quickly to the ranch and enters the house, standing in

2318
02:13:49.199 --> 02:13:50.560
the middle of the room as the sheriff.

2319
02:13:51.680 --> 02:13:56.279
Hello, Ralph, you're just in time, in time. How long

2320
02:13:56.319 --> 02:13:58.239
have you been here? Just drove up a second before

2321
02:13:58.279 --> 02:13:59.079
you din Oh.

2322
02:13:59.159 --> 02:13:59.720
What do you want?

2323
02:14:00.319 --> 02:14:03.600
Did you find Miller? Yeah, not yet, but they will.

2324
02:14:04.439 --> 02:14:07.000
Well he suddenly got a case against them. All right,

2325
02:14:07.439 --> 02:14:09.399
he won't have a chance. I wanted to ask you

2326
02:14:09.640 --> 02:14:13.159
and your mother and your wife a few more questions. Well,

2327
02:14:13.159 --> 02:14:14.319
all right, but he won't know.

2328
02:14:15.119 --> 02:14:17.319
We got a message him someone in town saying that

2329
02:14:17.439 --> 02:14:20.199
Miller was seen at the gas station about seven o'clock

2330
02:14:20.680 --> 02:14:22.640
on the night Tom Bradford was killed.

2331
02:14:23.479 --> 02:14:26.640
Wow, so what maybe was They checked with the attendant.

2332
02:14:27.079 --> 02:14:29.840
He said Miller had his car packed Haddy's family and

2333
02:14:29.960 --> 02:14:32.039
headed out of town in the opposite direction.

2334
02:14:32.680 --> 02:14:35.840
Well, maybe he circled around and that came back.

2335
02:14:35.920 --> 02:14:38.600
No, no, no, he couldn't have done that. Why not

2336
02:14:38.760 --> 02:14:41.479
because he wouldn't have had time. He was seen in

2337
02:14:41.560 --> 02:14:44.279
the next town an hour later, still headed east. He

2338
02:14:44.279 --> 02:14:46.039
wouldn't have had time to get that far if he'd

2339
02:14:46.119 --> 02:14:51.199
circle back here, see what I mean? Yeah, yeah, I see,

2340
02:14:52.159 --> 02:14:54.720
But he must have come back, not unless he flew,

2341
02:14:55.479 --> 02:14:56.520
and that isn't probable.

2342
02:14:56.680 --> 02:14:59.279
But there must be some explanations. He must have gotten

2343
02:14:59.359 --> 02:15:02.840
here some way. Maybe he killed him earlier. Maybe that's

2344
02:15:03.359 --> 02:15:03.760
that's right.

2345
02:15:03.880 --> 02:15:05.760
No, no, no, we can figure the time of death

2346
02:15:05.840 --> 02:15:10.319
closer than that. It was near midnight, that's definite. I see, Well,

2347
02:15:10.600 --> 02:15:11.479
who told you about this?

2348
02:15:11.800 --> 02:15:12.960
Who sent you this message?

2349
02:15:13.199 --> 02:15:15.199
We we don't know.

2350
02:15:16.239 --> 02:15:20.239
It was printed with a pencil and mailed in town. Yeah,

2351
02:15:20.880 --> 02:15:24.840
but all it said, well, no, no, there was more

2352
02:15:24.920 --> 02:15:26.279
to it. Huh what else?

2353
02:15:26.640 --> 02:15:29.840
Oh, there's always cranks budding into cases like this, amateur detectors.

2354
02:15:29.840 --> 02:15:33.119
They're always getting hunches, and yeah, they're seldom ever. Right now,

2355
02:15:33.920 --> 02:15:34.920
I'll tell you what I'll tell you.

2356
02:15:35.039 --> 02:15:37.439
Calm down, yes, Ralph, take it easy, you darling.

2357
02:15:37.520 --> 02:15:39.439
Don't be so upset. It isn't good for you.

2358
02:15:39.720 --> 02:15:42.479
Well, it said that the real murderer would probably be

2359
02:15:42.600 --> 02:15:46.319
found in the immediate household of Tom Bradford, and since

2360
02:15:46.359 --> 02:15:49.680
we haven't found the weapon, we might check over the house.

2361
02:15:50.960 --> 02:15:52.840
The biggest bunch of nonsense I ever heard of. My

2362
02:15:53.000 --> 02:15:55.960
mother loved Tom Bradford, sol did I sold. He was

2363
02:15:56.039 --> 02:15:56.880
like a father to it.

2364
02:15:57.039 --> 02:15:59.560
Please, Ralph, don't show up my partner has.

2365
02:15:59.520 --> 02:16:02.399
Been looking over the place while we've been talking. I

2366
02:16:02.479 --> 02:16:04.760
imagine that he'll find just a minute.

2367
02:16:05.560 --> 02:16:11.199
Hate the body right now, but hey, are sure take

2368
02:16:11.199 --> 02:16:17.800
a look at this? Oh nfe mm hm, currently covered

2369
02:16:17.840 --> 02:16:21.880
with blood. That's right. I found it in missus Bradford's room,

2370
02:16:22.880 --> 02:16:23.880
right under the mattress.

2371
02:16:24.680 --> 02:16:26.760
What how did you get there?

2372
02:16:27.119 --> 02:16:30.159
Yes, yes, Missus Bradford. How did it get there?

2373
02:16:31.479 --> 02:16:35.239
I put it there afterward? Mother, what are you saying?

2374
02:16:35.399 --> 02:16:36.159
You're out of your mind?

2375
02:16:36.200 --> 02:16:37.040
Did you kill your husband?

2376
02:16:37.159 --> 02:16:37.319
Yes?

2377
02:16:38.040 --> 02:16:38.719
Yes, I killed it.

2378
02:16:38.799 --> 02:16:39.760
Oh she did not, she could.

2379
02:16:39.799 --> 02:16:41.159
I killed him, and I had a good reason.

2380
02:16:41.239 --> 02:16:41.879
I hated him.

2381
02:16:42.239 --> 02:16:44.280
He was cruel, cruel to me, and he hated Ralph.

2382
02:16:44.719 --> 02:16:46.159
I couldn't stand it any longer.

2383
02:16:45.959 --> 02:16:46.600
So I killed him.

2384
02:16:47.000 --> 02:16:49.959
She didn't do at all. We don't know her didn't

2385
02:16:49.959 --> 02:16:51.879
do it. You can't do this, mother, I know what

2386
02:16:51.959 --> 02:16:53.159
you're trying to do. What she's doing.

2387
02:16:53.200 --> 02:16:54.040
She's trying to protect me.

2388
02:16:54.200 --> 02:16:56.040
She thinks I did and think you did it.

2389
02:16:56.200 --> 02:16:58.879
Mother, Do you realize what this means? Tell him the truth, fella,

2390
02:16:59.040 --> 02:16:59.959
I did it. I killed him.

2391
02:17:00.319 --> 02:17:01.559
The knife is from my own kitchen.

2392
02:17:01.879 --> 02:17:02.760
I did it, and I'm glad.

2393
02:17:02.840 --> 02:17:03.319
It's crazy.

2394
02:17:03.440 --> 02:17:05.719
She couldn't have been because I killed him.

2395
02:17:05.760 --> 02:17:08.479
She's trying to protect me, Ralph, What are you saying?

2396
02:17:08.520 --> 02:17:09.000
I did it?

2397
02:17:09.079 --> 02:17:10.159
I tell you I ought to know.

2398
02:17:10.520 --> 02:17:11.559
I had a better motive than she.

2399
02:17:11.760 --> 02:17:12.280
What motive?

2400
02:17:12.399 --> 02:17:14.040
I'll tell you that later.

2401
02:17:14.200 --> 02:17:16.639
I don't believe you killed him, Ralph. You're trying to

2402
02:17:16.680 --> 02:17:19.319
protect your mother now because you know she did it.

2403
02:17:19.479 --> 02:17:20.959
I did it. I tell you I did it.

2404
02:17:21.040 --> 02:17:23.360
Yeah, that's enough for me. I believe her. But we'll

2405
02:17:23.399 --> 02:17:25.600
soon find out. We'll check the fingerprints on the knife.

2406
02:17:25.639 --> 02:17:26.200
That won't prove it.

2407
02:17:26.399 --> 02:17:28.440
Why not, because I used the glove.

2408
02:17:29.000 --> 02:17:31.159
Mother must have taken the knife from the body and hitman,

2409
02:17:31.360 --> 02:17:32.440
thinking that I flipped off.

2410
02:17:32.600 --> 02:17:35.000
That's just so much talk, and you're just shooting in

2411
02:17:35.040 --> 02:17:37.600
the dark. Come on, Bille, let's go back to town

2412
02:17:37.680 --> 02:17:38.360
and do some checking.

2413
02:17:47.360 --> 02:17:50.399
The only fingerprints on the knife were Mary's, and try

2414
02:17:50.440 --> 02:17:52.959
as he might, Ralph could not convince them that he

2415
02:17:53.120 --> 02:17:54.559
wasn't trying to shield his mother.

2416
02:17:55.639 --> 02:17:57.360
Ralph realized finally that his mother.

2417
02:17:57.399 --> 02:17:59.840
Was sure to be convicted, and the day of the

2418
02:18:00.000 --> 02:18:03.079
odd It grew closer, he became frantic about the money

2419
02:18:03.120 --> 02:18:06.079
he had to have, and the day his mother was

2420
02:18:06.120 --> 02:18:09.360
sentenced to prison, he visited the attorney.

2421
02:18:10.040 --> 02:18:12.680
I thought i'd drop in and say about that policy.

2422
02:18:12.879 --> 02:18:16.000
Tom Bradford left from my mother quite a few things

2423
02:18:16.040 --> 02:18:17.000
to me take care of.

2424
02:18:17.120 --> 02:18:20.040
You know, well, I'll tell you Aunt, that policy would

2425
02:18:20.079 --> 02:18:22.719
have been paid long ago. But there are certain technicalities

2426
02:18:22.719 --> 02:18:24.200
in the state regarding insurance.

2427
02:18:24.639 --> 02:18:26.440
What's that we had to wait till the finish of

2428
02:18:26.479 --> 02:18:26.920
the trial.

2429
02:18:27.399 --> 02:18:30.719
But why she's the beneficiary, She's entitled as insurance.

2430
02:18:30.879 --> 02:18:31.239
Not here.

2431
02:18:31.959 --> 02:18:34.760
If the beneficiary is convicted of killing the insured, the

2432
02:18:34.799 --> 02:18:37.280
beneficiary cannot receive the proceeds of the policy.

2433
02:18:37.959 --> 02:18:40.440
The same is true as to Tom's farms and other property.

2434
02:18:41.719 --> 02:18:42.280
What about me?

2435
02:18:42.879 --> 02:18:44.680
I'm the son, There are no other heirs.

2436
02:18:44.879 --> 02:18:48.079
You were not the blood kid to Tom Bradford, and

2437
02:18:48.239 --> 02:18:51.399
you were not legally adopted. Therefore all the property and

2438
02:18:51.520 --> 02:18:54.799
the insurance reverts to Tom's estate. Nothing we can do

2439
02:18:54.840 --> 02:18:55.120
about it.

2440
02:19:00.479 --> 02:19:05.399
Well, Ralph, there you are holding the bag. Now you've

2441
02:19:05.399 --> 02:19:08.079
got to face the music at the bank. With all

2442
02:19:08.239 --> 02:19:12.520
your scheming, nothing was gain. You planned to kill Tom

2443
02:19:13.159 --> 02:19:17.680
and blame it on Miller. Instead draped your mother upset,

2444
02:19:17.760 --> 02:19:19.799
and she killed him because she wanted to keep you

2445
02:19:20.079 --> 02:19:20.680
from doing it.

2446
02:19:21.479 --> 02:19:22.959
That's what you believe, Ralph.

2447
02:19:23.479 --> 02:19:24.399
But you're wrong.

2448
02:19:25.399 --> 02:19:27.600
I know your mother didn't do it.

2449
02:19:28.159 --> 02:19:30.639
She found the body and removed the knife, thinking you'd

2450
02:19:30.760 --> 02:19:34.600
slipped up. It was your dear little wife, Vera who

2451
02:19:34.719 --> 02:19:39.319
did it, and she'll never tell but she'll pay for

2452
02:19:39.440 --> 02:19:41.840
it later, I know.

2453
02:20:05.399 --> 02:20:07.239
CBS has presented The Whistler.

2454
02:20:15.600 --> 02:20:18.559
Original music for this production was composed and conducted by

2455
02:20:18.639 --> 02:20:21.600
Wilbur Hatch. The Whistler has written and directed by Jay

2456
02:20:21.639 --> 02:20:24.799
Donald Wilson and originates from Columbia Square in Hollywood.

2457
02:20:28.120 --> 02:20:32.440
I the Whistler were returned to tell you another interesting tale.

2458
02:20:33.799 --> 02:20:34.319
Good night.

2459
02:20:35.799 --> 02:20:38.120
This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.

2460
02:20:49.200 --> 02:20:53.840
Well, my dear, you've made it through another night. Not

2461
02:20:54.040 --> 02:20:59.040
that there was anything to worry about, not really. But

2462
02:20:59.239 --> 02:21:03.799
now it's getting late, and soon it will be early,

2463
02:21:04.680 --> 02:21:08.959
so I suppose we should part ways, but I'll be

2464
02:21:09.159 --> 02:21:14.200

way home, as you enter your soft, sensual bedroom, do

02:21:33.639 --> 02:21:37.319
one last favor for me. As you blink your eyes

2469
02:21:37.719 --> 02:21:41.520
slowly on your way to the land of nod, take

one moment and be thankful for what you have.

I'll be seeing you again.

2472
02:22:01.159 --> 02:22:01.799
The wrong bring

2473
02:22:03.440 --> 02:22:09.639
Doun, bring your rombling, you mumbling tim to break
