00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:13.640
Ah, my dear, come in, Come in, make yourself at home,

2
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:18.359
Have a seat, put your feet up. The fire is warm,

3
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:24.120
because even in the warmer months it gets so chilling

4
00:00:24.920 --> 00:00:31.440
at night. I've got the tea steeping away as we

5
00:00:31.559 --> 00:00:39.000
prepare something fun and frightening. When you think about it,

6
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:43.039
we are so afraid of so many things in our

7
00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:47.359
day to day life, but we never get the opportunity

8
00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:52.280
to be afraid of that which we never see, but

9
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:59.520
is most assuredly there. That may be a good thing, unless,

10
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.280
of course us you find yourself lost in the dark,

11
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:20.239
a blind witness.

12
00:01:22.480 --> 00:01:27.519
Come in, Welcome, I MEE G.

13
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:28.200
Marshall.

14
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:35.640
Today nostalgia is king, or should we say queen? What

15
00:01:35.879 --> 00:01:39.599
is lacking in these times that we constantly seek solace

16
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:44.560
in the past, especially when the truth is the past.

17
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.359
Was a harder, slower, hungrier place.

18
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.879
Yet many of us try to recapture the past by

19
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:53.879
seizing upon.

20
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:55.400
Its outward trappings.

21
00:01:56.159 --> 00:02:01.079
You who do so should be careful, unconscious. You may

22
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:05.280
break through the glitter and capture the essence, and then

23
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:09.360
what will become of you. Your clothes and hairstyle may

24
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:14.719
come back into fashion, but your sense of values our

25
00:02:14.879 --> 00:02:19.280
mystery drama blind Witness was written especially for the Mystery

26
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:23.360
Theater by Sam Dan and stars Patricia Elliot.

27
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:24.879
And Common Matthews.

28
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.000
It is sponsored in part by Bwick.

29
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:28.879
Motor Division.

30
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:39.360
And Truth, as we all would agree, is stranger than fiction.

31
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:44.919
And that is because, as the scientists tell us, matter

32
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:49.599
can neither be created nor destroyed. The things we have

33
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:54.080
to work with are the things that already exist, and

34
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:58.639
only they can serve as the building blocks for our castles,

35
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:03.120
real or imagined. We call the ones that we have

36
00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:08.520
seen before cooth and the new or strange ones. The

37
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:17.159
difference lies in perception. Is everything clear? Well, then forward

38
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:19.319
with our story.

39
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:22.879
I should know the place, jelic it?

40
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:28.360
Okay, First walk past, See if he's alone, expect.

41
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.080
That going there. If there was somebody in a joint.

42
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.319
What do you think I started his rifer yesterday?

43
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.319
He ought to be by itself this hour of the night.

44
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:40.919
If not, Yeah, our way, our way. You walk in

45
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:42.800
and you don't say a word. You just let him

46
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:43.080
have it.

47
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.240
You understand why he is so nervous. Chat I was

48
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:48.080
born nervous as dog as.

49
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:50.400
He asually spades rains coming down.

50
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.919
Cats and dogs are in a soul on the street.

51
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:57.000
This job has to be right, exactly right. Oh that's

52

Twenty five seconds to walk to the giant, ten seconds

00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:11.000
to nogamore, twenty five seconds to walk back to the car.

58
00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.039
That's what they call portal a portal pay. It adds

59
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:16.480
up to exactly one minute.

60
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:20.839
Ten grand for one minute, Yes, sad, go ahead, ten

61
00:04:21.079 --> 00:04:22.000
grand a minute.

62
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:24.800
I'm the highest paid wagering on a world. When you

63
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:26.519
go already, what are you waiting for?

64
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:27.240

What are you doing now this time of night? Mister Humet,

74
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:58.079

75
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:00.639
Thank you for your concern to Askalon.

76
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:02.120

Well, well, which is almost midnight, and there's a very

78
00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:06.879
low element out on the streets.

00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.199
How much is it the usual price? The five dollars?

83
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:22.079
Mister ascalon, haven't you ever.

84

00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:26.920
You have been charging me five.

86
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.839
Dollars till the past twenty five years. Shouldn't the price

87
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:30.639
have gone up?

88
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.800

00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:34.519

00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:37.879
I'm about to close up, so if you wait a

91
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:40.399
few minutes, I will walk you to your door.

92
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:42.399

00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:47.439

00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:55.920
You go down to the first drawer shows near the door,

97
00:05:56.120 --> 00:06:01.120
and it's oh listen to me. I keep forgetting. You

00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:05.160
can't see the fast row of shelves. You say, how

99
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:06.800
do you do it, mister Hugh.

100
00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:12.639
It's a battle of mastering your environment, of visualizing every shape,

101
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:17.160
of memorizing every distance down here.

102
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:21.360
You said, yes, yes, say that's uncanny.

103
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:24.720
I mean how do you just put your finger on it?

104
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:25.759
Oh?

105
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:28.439
Yes, sir, what can I do for you.

It's too bad, sister, get out of here.

109
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:53.040
It sounded like a border julyon or what happened?

110
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:54.959
What do you mean?

111
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:56.199
There was a dame in the store.

112
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:57.439
I looked in the window.

113
00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.519
He saw by himself by walk in. I hit him,

114
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:00.680
and all of my sudden.

115
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:01.639
I hear his peake's boice.

116
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:02.800
What dame's boy?

117
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:04.639
He must have been behind the shelf.

118
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:06.000
She just shakes up at it.

119
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:07.879
No way did yeah, yeah, yeah.

120
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:08.600
Yeah, she's finished.

121
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:09.040
Listen.

122
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.839
Are you sure nobody could live with all the letter?

123
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:14.720
Give her a localan.

124
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.199
You don't have to worry about Ascalot no more with

125
00:07:18.319 --> 00:07:22.879
that day, and all better be clean, cleanliness guaranteed. That's

126
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:26.560
why I get the price. Hand it over, okay, okay,

127
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:30.680
ten big woods. But it took me a little more

128
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:34.639
than a minute, and my overhead also went up. Must

129
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:48.519
be this inflation, huh, Captain Sterlings, Oh yes.

130
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:49.720
Sir, Yes.

131
00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:51.720
The man's name was Armand.

132
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:55.839
Ascaloon, fifty years old. As he owned her drug store.

133
00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:01.920
I assigned it to Jedward Julia Jedwicks. Well, she's attached

134
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:05.240
to homicide. Yeah, so she's a detective first grade.

135
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:08.639
No, I don't think she can do any harm. I'll

136
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:13.959
supervise her closely. Yes, sir, none of this I need it,

137
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:23.959
Captain Starring Hell tummying Julia. And you know, now what

138
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.000
we got here is one of these neighborhood knockoffs. Now

139
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:30.720
you know how to go about this, we'll say, I'm

140
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:31.680
the best.

141
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:33.960
Way is to keep your eyes and your ears open

142
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:35.080
and work close with the.

143
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:36.000
Patrolman on the beat.

144
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:38.440
Yes, captain, Now what we got here has to be

145
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:41.279
a stick up. You're almost likely a junkie or rouse

146
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:44.919
some hood and well, dad, don't be afraid to lean

147
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:45.279
on me.

148
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:47.440
For help, thank you, Captain Starring.

149
00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:52.399
Any questions, Well, it's just about the gun.

150
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:53.879
What about the gun?

151
00:08:54.360 --> 00:08:56.039
I have a report from ballistics.

152
00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:59.399
The two bullets that were found in his body were

153
00:08:59.480 --> 00:09:02.159
followed by three fifty seven magnum revolver.

154
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:05.360
So what's your question, Well, it would seem to.

155
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:09.120
Me say that your ordinary junkie or hoodlum who holds

156
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:12.120
up a store wouldn't have an expensive magnum. That type

157
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:14.840
would usually employ a cheap Saturday night special.

158
00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:18.000
Well, a junkie could steal a magnum couldn't he Well.

159
00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:21.039
Yes, captain, but if it was a junkie and he

160
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:24.240
needed money for a fix, he would have sold a magnum.

161
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.120
That's not bad thinking, Julia. So it doesn't have to

162
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:28.759
be a junkie.

163
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:32.559
It could be just some punk out to raise cash.

164
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:37.320
Yes, thirsty, It's just that no money was taken. Miss

165
00:09:37.360 --> 00:09:39.799
Chason had a five dollar bill in his hand, and

166
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:41.799
there was one hundred dollars in the cash drawer, and

167
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:43.840
I don't know how to account for that.

168
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:46.759
Well, here's how you learn with experience.

169
00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:49.799
Now, there's a certain type of punk who nerves himself

170
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:51.759
up to pull a job. You know, it goes wrong,

171
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:55.399
He shoots, he kills, he sees the dead victim, and

172
00:09:55.399 --> 00:09:57.240
he gets terrified, and all he wants to do is

173
00:09:57.279 --> 00:09:58.000
get out fast.

174
00:09:58.240 --> 00:10:01.039
You understands, Yes, sa I do it. It's just that a.

175
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:04.600
Magnum isn't quite the kind of revolver for the type

176
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:05.720
of killer you have in mind.

177
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.240
A magnum makes you think of a professional killer.

178
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.879
Enough, Well, why would a professional risk everything on a

179
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:14.360
one hundred?

180
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:15.159
Hold up?

181
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:18.559
I like what you're trying to do, Julia. You love

182
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:22.440
the stuff to become a good detective. This is out

183
00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:25.799
you're looking for a punk hou panic, So you go

184
00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:27.039
out there and do.

185
00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:29.840
The routine things. It looks for people who might have

186
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:34.480
seen or heard something. Yes, well, I already have good

187
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.840
in any results. Well, it introduced a problem.

188
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:41.639
First of all, the number of shots that were fired.

189
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:44.279
Why is that a problem.

190
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:47.799
Well, I found exactly eight people who told me that

191
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:50.919
they heard the shooting, and some say they heard five shots,

192
00:10:51.159 --> 00:10:54.480
some that they had six, but all agreed.

193
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:59.279
That they heard more than two. Well, but only two bullet.

194
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:02.159
Hit, mister Oscar, Oh, doesn't that only go to prove

195
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:04.720
what I told you was a nervous punk who empties

196
00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:07.559
the gun at Ascalon and only hooks him twice.

197
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:11.240
Yes, captain, but that still leaves us with the problem

198
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:13.679
five or six shots for.

199
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:15.799
Five two hit the Trascalon.

200
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.759
That leaves three or four slugs unaccounted for.

201
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:25.320
Well, what do you mean unaccounted for? We can't find them.

202
00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:28.799
They should be in the wall behind above or either

203
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.720
side of where Mitraskalon was standing, but there's no trace

204
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:32.120
of them.

205
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:33.480
But they go to be there.

206
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.279
We went over the place very carefully, and well that

207
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:39.279
raises another problem.

208
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.159
Yeah, the glass.

209
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:44.720
Doors of the street, it was smashed probably by a bullet.

210
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:47.120
Or a bullet what should get well?

211
00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:50.000
As she entered the store, the counter is directly to

212
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:53.799
the rear. We found mitrascal On's body behind that counter.

213
00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:55.720
What's the problem?

214
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.759
The cash registers on that counter. The hood comes in

215
00:11:58.919 --> 00:11:59.879
guns him down.

216
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:01.600
With two shots.

217
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:07.919
But there did the others go? You tell me there

218
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:09.600
were two groups of shots?

219
00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:10.440
What do you mean?

220
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:11.879
Two groups?

221
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:15.480
All the accounts of the people who heard the shooting agree.

222
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:19.039
First they heard two shots, then there was a pause

223
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:20.679
a few seconds.

224
00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:22.600
Then three or four more shots.

225
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:26.360
Therefore, the first two shots were fired at mister Ascalon,

226
00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:29.559
the next three or four will fired at someone else.

227
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:32.120
How do you know the killer.

228
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.399
Enters the store, he shoots mister Ascalon. That To do that,

229
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.600
the killer has to be facing the real wall now,

230
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:43.360
since here's or he sees something that makes him turn

231
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:46.320
around to face the front of the store. Who fires

232
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:50.279
again at whom? No, at someone who must have witnessed

233
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:52.879
the klan. That's why we can't find the slugs. They

234
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:55.960
were fired in the direction of the street, one or.

235
00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:57.960
More even both the gas in the front door. Well,

236
00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:59.320
what happened to the witness?

237
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:01.720
If they there was a witness.

238
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:04.799
The witness could have stopped one, two, three, or.

239
00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:06.799
Up to four, they thoughts.

240
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.080
But he didn't stop any of them as fire as

241
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:12.759
we know. If he's dead, we would have found the body.

242
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:15.320
Maybe the killer could have missed him clean.

243
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:19.639
But the fact is, Captain Stilling, there is a witness.

244
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:24.879
The killer did fire at somebody. Well maybe maybe not.

245
00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:27.639
If it's a dark night, it's raining hard, the killer

246
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:28.240
is nervous.

247
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:28.960
He thinks he.

248
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:32.720
Hears a sound of something just outside. He turns around,

249
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:39.320
the fires wild blind. Well that could account for all assurance. Yes, Captain,

250
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:43.679
you were going real good there for a while, julieah,

251
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:47.000
and I like the way you think. But like I said,

252
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:49.080
in the end, it'll turn out to be you're a

253
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:54.240
junkie or a hood you don't think so.

254
00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:06.200
He could be right, Okay, Okayna get off, William coming?

255
00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:08.679
Okay? Who's there?

256
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:09.200
Me?

257
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:12.480
Bobby? You?

258
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:12.559
You?

259
00:14:12.960 --> 00:14:13.200
Hey?

260
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:15.519
Hey, what's the matter with you? Let me INQUI.

261
00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:19.320
I was first to sleep, good thing you woke me up,

262
00:14:19.639 --> 00:14:20.960
and then I got a plain reason.

263
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:23.639
And now you see in the morning paper, Oh I

264
00:14:23.720 --> 00:14:24.559
never read the page.

265
00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:25.440
Well you better read this.

266
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:29.080
It says drug is murdered and you got to expect

267
00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:30.720
the papers to print this type of thing.

268
00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:32.360
It's news and read it.

269
00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:34.240
Why should I read it?

270
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:36.679
Ain't going to be news to me? Drug that's murdered.

271
00:14:36.919 --> 00:14:40.840
At midnight last night, mister Armand Ascalon, fifty year old

272
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:43.919
proprietor of Ascalon's Pharmacy on the corner of Bridge and

273
00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:46.559
High Streets, was shot to death by a band.

274
00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:48.480
Hey, yeah, I ain't no there that.

275
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:51.480
It has not yet been determined what has been taken

276
00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:52.159
from the store.

277
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:53.600
The police are.

278
00:14:53.440 --> 00:14:54.919
Following an active line of.

279
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:59.440
Investigation, according to Captain of Homicide Detective James L.

280
00:14:59.559 --> 00:14:59.919
Sterling.

281
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:02.399
Oh why do you mean so?

282
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:06.480
Ain't there's something missing from that story?

283
00:15:06.759 --> 00:15:09.799
Her own thing? So things for playing out loud?

284
00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:13.879
Oh okay, watch the be My boss calls me into

285
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:16.480
the office this morning, right after he read the paper,

286
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:19.600
and he lays this question on me, And so I'm

287
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:21.480
laying it on you.

288
00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:22.879
What about the dame?

289
00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:24.200
What dame?

290
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:27.240
You said? There was a dame in the store, That's right,

291
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:27.799
there was.

292
00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:30.399
I didn't spot he at first, but since she's seen

293
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:33.320
the whole thing, I had to take care of her too.

294
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:33.919
And you did.

295
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:36.559
I told you she's dead. Well, that's what I told

296
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:37.639
the boss last night.

297
00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:40.679
So this morning he wants to know why don't it

298
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:42.600
say nothing about her in the paper?

299
00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:44.720
What do you mean it's got to say hey mere?

300
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:46.159
And go ahead?

301
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:50.080
Pal? Where does it say one word about the game?

302
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:52.919
But I got her? I know I got her? And

303
00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:54.320
why wasn't it reported?

304
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:56.919
They can't keep a thing like this out of the place.

305
00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:00.320
Your miss, that's what you did. You missed the clean. No,

306
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:03.480
I wasn't ten feet away from him, and I don't miss,

307
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:06.919
I could even hear and go when I first bullish,

308
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:08.799
if she's dead, you're chappy.

309
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:14.320
She's dead. Okay, you just answer me one question. Where's

310
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:16.200
the body and.

311
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:21.159
Where?

312
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:26.240
Indeed, is it possible that mister Mule is obviously a

313
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:28.799
highly skilled professional assassin.

314
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.840
Could have fired all those shots at her and missed.

315
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:35.840
Mister Mule is convinced it could be a trick on

316
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:39.519
the part of the police, But we know the police

317
00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:40.720
are completely.

318
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:42.639
Unaware of mister Holman themselves.

319
00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:49.879
Well, what did happen? Is she dead or alive? I'll

320
00:16:49.919 --> 00:17:03.320
be back shortly with that too. Edgar Allan Poe, who

321
00:17:03.480 --> 00:17:07.039
invented the type of story or listening to now, set

322
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.759
down the basic rules. These were later refined and polished

323
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:16.319
by one of Poe's greatest disciples, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,

324
00:17:17.200 --> 00:17:21.680
and the most important rule states, when you have eliminated

325
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:29.880
the impossible, whatever explanation remains, no matter how improbable, must

326
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:34.240
be the truth, which brings us now to a consideration

327
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:37.640
of the elderly blind lady we had met earlier, Miss

328
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:39.359
Agatha Cahoune.

329
00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:45.440
Aggie, Aggie, Dear, who michaelness?

330
00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:48.000
What a dream I had?

331
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:50.039
Dream about?

332
00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:50.960
What pith?

333
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:55.119
Dear sister, don't press me for details. Should you have

334
00:17:55.319 --> 00:17:59.720
such a frightened look on your face? Maggie, you're up

335
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.119
and you're in your wheel chair. You were able to

336
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:06.599
get out of bed and into your chair by yourself. Yes,

337
00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:09.319
every dear, thanks to you, because.

338
00:18:09.319 --> 00:18:11.400
You left the medicine right by my bed and.

339
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:14.519
It is the pain sufficient legicine.

340
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:18.640
Oh no, but then it wasn't a dream, Baggie, it

341
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:24.920
wasn't a dream. Please, I don't understand. Mister Ascalon is.

342
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:29.759
Dead, Aggie, what are you talking about? You had finally

343
00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:33.359
fallen asleep. It was close to midnight. Your medicine bottle

344
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:33.880
was empty.

345
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:37.240
I knew you would need some in the morning, and

346
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:42.240
so I went downstairing you went down into the jungle

347
00:18:42.720 --> 00:18:43.119
at night.

348
00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:47.440
Leggie, dear, could you face the morning without your medicine?

349
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:51.240
That you could have been murdered in the streets at night?

350
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:55.240
You know what looks behind every dog, or so, I

351
00:18:55.599 --> 00:19:00.279
falsified myself. I put on the best. At least I

352
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:02.559
would be safe for knives and bullish. You should have

353
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:07.640
waited till morning and wheeled me. The rule is you

354
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:11.200
must never go along by morning. You would have been

355
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:12.440
in too much pain.

356
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:15.759
I would have put up with it somehow, and beneath

357
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:19.000
my bunket I could have the coat forty.

358
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:21.480
Five in one hand and the can of mace in

359
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:23.599
the other. I have no children, Maggie.

360
00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:24.759
You know you can't see.

361
00:19:25.279 --> 00:19:29.160
I know how to get every single place in this neighborhood,

362
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:32.279
and that just because I'm blind, there's no reason to

363
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:33.440
treat me as an invalid.

364
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:35.720
Oh my poor darling, Maggie.

365
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:39.599
I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have said that word.

366
00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:42.160
It's true. I am an invalid.

367
00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:43.160
I can't walk.

368
00:19:44.200 --> 00:19:47.920
I'm also a drug added cloth say that will not

369
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:51.839
change anything. We were both in the same accidents, still

370
00:19:52.079 --> 00:19:54.200
really listed. I lost the use of my legs.

371
00:19:54.680 --> 00:19:58.400
You lost the use of your eyes for forty years now,

372
00:19:58.440 --> 00:19:59.920
I've clung to you, had been so.

373
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:02.839
Parted by your strength because I have none of my arms.

374
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:05.119
Look at us.

375
00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:08.920
We've become too crazy, old lady, because of me, I.

376
00:20:09.079 --> 00:20:11.880
Won't listen to any more of this hill. Live your

377
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:18.440
life for me, mister ascalon dead.

378
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:24.000
Yes he was killed by a jungle animal. How awful.

379
00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:28.000
But how do you know? I was in the store

380
00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:33.359
when it happened. Hecky did? Did the tiller for you?

381
00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:33.960
Not?

382
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:34.559
At first?

383
00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:39.400
He walked into the store and began shooting. Then he

384
00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:43.200
noticed me, oh, and he said, hey, who are you?

385
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:44.720
Where did you come from?

386
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:46.759
Did you say anything?

387
00:20:46.839 --> 00:20:47.079
I was?

388
00:20:47.519 --> 00:20:48.400
I was petrified.

389
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:51.839
And then he said it's true, God, sister. And I

390
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:54.599
heard him shoot, and the noise of the shots were deafening,

391
00:20:55.119 --> 00:20:57.680
and I felt the bullet crashed into my burst with

392
00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:00.960
with with such force that I would almost knock.

393
00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:01.400
Off my feet.

394
00:21:01.799 --> 00:21:04.319
And I could feel that little bit stinging, but sensations

395
00:21:04.559 --> 00:21:08.359
as each bullet struck the first Let me look at

396
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:08.920
the vest.

397
00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:13.400
If it's on the chair beside my bed, The color

398
00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:18.480
is torn. What have these feats of metal? The slugs?

399
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:23.680
They must have been caught in the padding or poor

400
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:24.839
mister Ascalon.

401
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:28.720
Why would anyone wish to shoot him? That he was

402
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:30.359
good to poor people like us?

403
00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:30.880
That?

404
00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:34.279
Do you know that if it weren't for mister Ascalon,

405
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:38.359
I would have to go elsewhere for that that medicine.

406
00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:41.400
Do you realize how much we would have to pay

407
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:42.880
the killer?

408
00:21:43.960 --> 00:21:45.640
I saw you skip up to.

409
00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:48.720
Your skins, which means he knows what you look like.

410
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:51.400
Yes, that he probably does.

411
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:55.759
He shot at you, so you couldn't describe him that.

412
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:58.720
I couldn't describe him anyway. He doesn't know that. So

413
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:02.559
I come looking for you? Oh no, no he won't.

414
00:22:02.720 --> 00:22:03.680
Why not say up?

415
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:06.839
Because he seeks he kills me, but your body won't

416
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:10.359
be found in a store along with miss last. Oh

417
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:14.920
I didn't think of that. I know he had a

418
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.160
good look at me. Scale not please? Please still be

419
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:23.160
counting to Now it's my turn to be strong, and

420
00:22:23.319 --> 00:22:24.759
neither of us will leave the house.

421
00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:27.000
You must not be seen on the streets.

422
00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:29.880
But we can telephone mister Burnstein to send up a

423
00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:32.359
grocery and I will have to leave the house.

424
00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:35.799
Now I won't allow it. I'll have to find another

425
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:40.799
person to show me your medicine. I'll do without.

426
00:22:41.240 --> 00:22:43.039
You can't the pains are real.

427
00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:46.920
If they were, then doctor Morrison would have prescribed the

428
00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:50.000
medicine for me. Whether or not the pains are real,

429
00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:52.680
that they are real enough to you, I'll have to

430
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:56.799
stop humoring myself and you'll have to stop humoring me.

431
00:22:58.079 --> 00:23:07.319
Your life depends on it. Yeah, I know that's for me. Yeah,

432
00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:14.240
there's Jeffie. He says, not there off, that's.

433
00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:14.839
What I told him.

434
00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:20.359
Okay, boss, let me lay it on him. Right, what's

435
00:23:20.400 --> 00:23:23.160
going on, Jeffie? It's as simple as one, two three.

436
00:23:23.799 --> 00:23:28.240
You didn't hit the old lady, but nothing, so we

437
00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:31.000
gotta find it and you got to get rid of her.

438
00:23:31.880 --> 00:23:35.000
Suppose he describes it as a cops I got an horabi.

439
00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:36.920
You think I have a leave home without one?

440
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:40.799
Del or some cops may recognize you from the description. Well,

441
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:44.480
I told you in all mul it's our headache because

442
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:48.279
if you come into the picture, Alibia, not the cops

443
00:23:48.319 --> 00:23:51.160
will Noah wasn't a stick up, which is what my

444
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:52.960
boss wants them to think it.

445
00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:54.880
Well, okay, okay, what do you want me to do?

446
00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:56.720
Describe her?

447
00:23:57.720 --> 00:24:01.680
How do you describe an old day man? Jimmy dressed

448
00:24:01.720 --> 00:24:04.240
in black, maybe seventy years old.

449
00:24:04.599 --> 00:24:05.240
You know what I mean?

450
00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:08.680
White hair, Yeah, yeah, I think so, and it was

451
00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:13.680
something else they glasses. Okay is that yeah? That ship

452
00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:15.799
except except boots.

453
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:17.640
Yeah nothing.

454
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:19.640
I guess if I see her.

455
00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:20.799
Again, I know it.

456
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:23.839
O came here. Okay, we're going to make sure you

457
00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:24.599
see her again.

458
00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:37.599
A good evening, Missus cavill.

459
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:41.119
Oh you're the cop, the lady cop.

460
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:43.200
Yes, may I come in?

461
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:45.279
Thank you?

462
00:24:46.599 --> 00:24:50.759
Yeah, got more questions on asking just one, Missus cavill.

463
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:53.160
You know they ought to have more lady cops.

464
00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:56.880
Kind of makes everything easier. Now.

465
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:00.440
The other night when Miss Fascon was killed, Yeah, you

466
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:01.519
heard the say of the shop.

467
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:02.400
Yeah.

468
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:04.920
Did you hear any other sounds in the street?

469
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:07.039
I noticed that your window open her.

470
00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:09.480
I didn't see anything losing birds?

471
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:11.440
How about an animobile?

472
00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:16.680
Oh yeah yeah? After the shot come, I'm sure I

473
00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:18.880
heard something time, like a guy was running, and then

474
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:21.440
I heard a car taking off theirs and that's all.

475
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:22.119
Yeah.

476
00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:26.039
My husband, he slept through it all. They could drop

477
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:29.079
the Adam bomb in here and he I run to

478
00:25:29.160 --> 00:25:30.160
the window and looked.

479
00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:31.599
The street was deserted.

480
00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:33.480
And you're sure you heard nothing more?

481
00:25:33.720 --> 00:25:38.079
Well, later on I had one of my tenants mis

482
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:40.319
Aggie tear hearing coming up the stairs?

483
00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:43.680
Well, how did you know that it was her coming upstairs?

484
00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:43.960
Huh?

485
00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:45.480
I could hear that kna.

486
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:46.400
House go some something.

487
00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:47.599
Oh, I see.

488
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:50.960
Then she came upstairs right after the murder.

489
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:54.119
Yeah, around that time, and she's.

490
00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:58.920
Been outside in that weather that are where do you.

491
00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:01.960
Suppose she'd been, Well, I figured the drug store.

492
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:05.319
So she got this twin sister in the wheelchair that

493
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:08.200
always needs her medicine.

494
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:11.240
Then she had to be there at the time of

495
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:15.720
the murder. Are you sure that you heard her coming

496
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:16.400
up the stairs.

497
00:26:16.799 --> 00:26:19.480
Well, she couldn't have been there while mister Escaloma was being.

498
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:21.240
Murdered, or she'd have been killed two.

499
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:23.680
I don't know man.

500
00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:25.799
Maybe I didn't hear her coming up the stairs, But

501
00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:28.680
you just said you were positive such a scary night.

502
00:26:29.000 --> 00:26:31.480
Maybe maybe I dreamed it.

503
00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:42.920
Maggie, it's the door, Yes, who could it be? I

504
00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:44.920
don't know the killer.

505
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:50.759
It's for home. It's a woman's voice. The killer wasn't

506
00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:51.200
a woman.

507
00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:53.359
He could have brought one along to.

508
00:26:53.400 --> 00:26:57.000
Throw us off. Goard lived for a whole Even so

509
00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:00.200
you have to answer, you.

510
00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:06.359
Have the cut head, yes, so is it it's a

511
00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:10.920
police officer? What do you want, I'll have to office

512
00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:11.759
and cross jout.

513
00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:16.920
Can we cut her? Put alone? How care you going

514
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:18.519
to find our fall proverbs?

515
00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:22.480
I am about to open the door.

516
00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:24.759
Have your bodge with it.

517
00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:29.839
So she's all right.

518
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:33.839
That's the police edge and she's alone.

519
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:36.519
Please don't point that automatic at me.

520
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:39.359
I have a license to own it, and I know

521
00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:42.480
how to use this a pistol. We find it necessary

522
00:27:42.880 --> 00:27:43.680
in this jungle.

523
00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:45.480
And hanging on the wall.

524
00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:47.920
Is that a bullet proof?

525
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:48.240
There?

526
00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:50.960
It is?

527
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:52.319
Please?

528
00:27:52.759 --> 00:27:55.279
Clority must have cost a fortune. We don't even have

529
00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:57.960
anything that's good in the police department. How can we

530
00:27:58.119 --> 00:27:58.440
help you?

531
00:27:58.799 --> 00:27:59.200
Officer?

532
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:00.079
Well?

533
00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:02.440
Which of you is missus agnes Terhune?

534
00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:03.119
I am?

535
00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:06.119
Did you know mister armand Ascalon?

536
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:10.680
Yes, we brought our medicine there. When it's the last

537
00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:13.559
time you saw him? I never saw him.

538
00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:15.200
I beg you pardon.

539
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:23.200
My sister is blind, oh guys, and so I'm looking

540
00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:25.400
for someone who might have been in the store before

541
00:28:25.599 --> 00:28:30.039
or during the time of the murder. Neither my sister

542
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:33.000
nor I would venture into the streets at.

543
00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:34.440
That hour, I see.

544
00:28:35.519 --> 00:28:36.079
I'm sure.

545
00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:39.559
Well, ladies, I'm so sorry I bothered you. Thank you

546
00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:49.119
very much for your cooperation. Goodbye, goodbye, bye, Aggie.

547
00:28:49.920 --> 00:28:50.240
Aggie.

548
00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:53.359
You could have told her the truth that you were.

549
00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:54.160
In the drum store.

550
00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:57.559
No, my dear, we must keep out of this at

551
00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:00.599
all costs. Which she was a police officer. How don't

552
00:29:00.640 --> 00:29:04.640
we trust all? We can't trust anyone who lives out

553
00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:06.039
there in that.

554
00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:14.720
Jungle, the jungle.

555
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:19.359
Who says the jungle must be a damp, steamy mass

556
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:20.559
of crazy vegetation.

557
00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:23.079
It can be a steer and.

558
00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:26.359
Stone canyon of tall buildings and busy traffic.

559
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:29.960
After all, it's not what the place looks like that

560
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:30.960
makes it a jungle.

561
00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:37.599
It's the law that its inhabitants obey or choose to disregard.

562
00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:41.799
Our safari continues in Act three, which I shall bring

563
00:29:41.880 --> 00:29:43.680
to you in just a few moments.

564
00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:46.200
What's your favorite time of the year?

565
00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:47.000
Fall? Okay?

566
00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:49.039
But can whither be far behind?

567
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:49.720
Whether?

568
00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:52.039
Yeah, but in order to get the skiing, you have

569
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:54.599
to wait through all that snow, ice, lush and rain.

570
00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:55.559
Summer.

571
00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:58.359
Got to think again, ninety six in the shade and

572
00:29:58.559 --> 00:30:03.160
there isn't any shade, Well, forget it. Springtime now, that's

573
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:05.920
the favorite time of the year. York Air Conditioning would

574
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:07.880

586

Consicency makes a great deal. And shape is consistently grape

587
00:30:57.400 --> 00:31:00.880
tasting every single time. Because Shaffer's grew the old worldwide

The epadem Shafer Brewing Company, New York.

594
00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:56.599
New York. The thing starts simply enough.

595
00:31:57.279 --> 00:32:00.599
What appears to be a routine hold up suddenly assumes

596
00:32:00.839 --> 00:32:02.960
larger and wittier proportions.

597
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:06.759
Both the law and the criminals are.

598
00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:11.400
Searching for a supposed witness. A diligent young policewoman has

599
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:16.400
succeeded in her quest. How does the underworld plan to

600
00:32:16.480 --> 00:32:17.079
go about it?

601
00:32:17.960 --> 00:32:21.279
Listen, Chabbie, I can't afford to hang around here.

602
00:32:21.880 --> 00:32:24.079
I got a business to it. Then, Oh no, you're

603
00:32:24.119 --> 00:32:26.160
going to hang around here and did your business here

604
00:32:26.359 --> 00:32:29.039
is finished? I've been proud of the neighborhood.

605
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:31.519
I could spot the whole day in your horne.

606
00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:34.880
What does that mean? Your boss just figured.

607
00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:36.279
Out how we can get this whole day to come

608
00:32:36.359 --> 00:32:39.920
to watch? Yeah, what was she doing in a drug

609
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:42.240
store at midnight and a howl and rain?

610
00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:43.400
Reach me?

611
00:32:43.599 --> 00:32:46.599
Come on usual head? Would she go out if it

612
00:32:46.759 --> 00:32:47.839
wasn't something important?

613
00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:52.279
Why did the boss want Askalon knocked off.

614
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:54.640
In the first place? I never asked him kind of

615
00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:57.680
questions to let all the smallies know that he's.

616
00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:00.519
Running a drug recket in this town. Nobody can go

617
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:03.319
into business for himself. It's got to be organized, all right.

618
00:33:04.200 --> 00:33:06.599
This ascalon klown was running, but I'm out to do

619
00:33:06.680 --> 00:33:07.559
a charity clinic.

620
00:33:08.359 --> 00:33:10.559
The fact that he got knocked off made the message

621
00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:13.880
loud and clear. So what did you have to do

622
00:33:13.960 --> 00:33:14.920
with my old name?

623
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:16.680
An old dame.

624
00:33:17.480 --> 00:33:21.319
She has to be a junkie. She needed a fix. Yeah,

625
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:25.119
what else? You shot at her and missed?

626
00:33:25.359 --> 00:33:27.319
How could I scat her?

627
00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:28.440
Now?

628
00:33:28.559 --> 00:33:29.839
You know what she looks like.

629
00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:31.920
She knows she's in trouble.

630
00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:33.400
So what she's doing.

631
00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:36.640
She's laying low, but sooner or.

632
00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:40.240
Later she's got to come to the surface. Why because

633
00:33:40.319 --> 00:33:41.319
she's a junkie.

634
00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:45.440
She'll need the stuff again. She can't go to Ascalon

635
00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:45.920
no more.

636
00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:47.880
She'll have to find a supplier.

637
00:33:48.920 --> 00:33:52.480
And the only supplier operating in that neighborhood right now,

638
00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:55.440
he's one of our own people.

639
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:03.960
Captain, I found the witness for what wasn.

640
00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:05.960
But you remember I told you the killer followed that

641
00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:08.519
someone else after his shot his arklove.

642
00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:10.159
Now, Julia, that's pure speculator.

643
00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:13.280
The person who followed at was the witness, and I

644
00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:14.840
found her heart.

645
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:16.480
But we had a problem.

646
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:19.800
She refuses to admit she was there, and even if she.

647
00:34:19.920 --> 00:34:24.360
Did, she couldn't help us to identify the killer. She's

648
00:34:24.440 --> 00:34:26.599
blind for a little old blind lady.

649
00:34:26.599 --> 00:34:28.639
Oh whoa, wha, wha, wha, what are you handing me?

650
00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:31.880
The killer spotted her and fired at her and would

651
00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:34.840
have killed her. But you'll never believe that she was

652
00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:36.880
wearing a bullet proof vest.

653
00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:40.760
You are saying to me that standing in the store

654
00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:44.599
when the killing happened was a blind old lady wearing

655
00:34:44.679 --> 00:34:46.599
a bulletproof vest.

656
00:34:46.880 --> 00:34:49.199
That's it, Captain, That's what I'm saying, and I can

657
00:34:49.360 --> 00:34:52.559
prove it. I saw the vest and one of the

658
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:55.880
floods was still stuck inside it. I managed to think

659
00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:58.519
it out and have it tested the ballistics that was

660
00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:01.840
fired from the same gun that kills mister Ascalon.

661
00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:05.159
You mean you got all this already.

662
00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:08.360
Well, you see, I had to ask myself why this

663
00:35:08.480 --> 00:35:10.880
blind old lady would go dan to Ascalon's joy so

664
00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:13.000
late at night in a bad neighborhood.

665
00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:15.400
She wore a bulletproof Thats hit you.

666
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:20.360
You see, she and the sister are somewhat eccentric, but

667
00:35:20.519 --> 00:35:23.719
it must have been for something very important. I said

668
00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:28.199
to myself, Well, I searched through mister Ascalon's files and

669
00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:30.719
I couldn't find a prescription for miss Chaerhoo.

670
00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:36.440
So what was he giving her drug? Backsight, and when you.

671
00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:39.000
Look closely at the sister, you see the classic signs

672
00:35:39.000 --> 00:35:42.000
of addiction and those that she had a nervous ticko.

673
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:45.400
Her eyes can't seem to focus, she smissed drugs.

674
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:48.800
Sure, that's why Ascalon was knocked off.

675
00:35:48.840 --> 00:35:51.840
He was freelancing, So Cinda must have wanted to teach

676
00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:52.559
an object list.

677
00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:56.119
Yes, sir, see how you put these things together after

678
00:35:56.159 --> 00:36:01.960
you've had as much experience as I have? No, No, Julia,

679
00:36:02.800 --> 00:36:06.599
it's all yours. You deserve all the credit for what

680
00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:08.280
We don't have the killer?

681
00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:09.079
We will.

682
00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:12.679
But how they are going to come after you're a

683
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:15.960
little old lady. But but how can they find her?

684
00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:17.119
You found her?

685
00:36:18.199 --> 00:36:20.800
Never let yourself get trapped into thinking that you're the

686
00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:21.840
only smart one.

687
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:26.039
But if well, but they don't.

688
00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:26.559
Have to find her.

689
00:36:26.639 --> 00:36:28.360
She can't identify the they kill her.

690
00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:29.000
She's blind.

691
00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:30.320
They don't know that.

692
00:36:30.679 --> 00:36:32.519
But they're going to try to kill this woman.

693
00:36:33.119 --> 00:36:33.320
I know.

694
00:36:34.079 --> 00:36:35.159
Is he something we can do?

695
00:36:35.840 --> 00:36:40.519
Yes, we can protect her, but soill we're not infallible?

696
00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:43.400
Well, what do you want us to do?

697
00:36:44.159 --> 00:36:47.000
She'spt a story in the press that yes, there is.

698
00:36:47.000 --> 00:36:50.639
A witness, but she's blind. Oh that might got something

699
00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:54.519
that wouldn't help. They wouldn't believe it. They smell a rap,

700
00:36:55.400 --> 00:36:59.800
But Julia, they know there's a witness. They won't rest

701
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:02.880
lage unless we get them first.

702
00:37:08.840 --> 00:37:12.559
Eddie, Hi, I neede my medicine. I know, Maggie, dear,

703
00:37:12.679 --> 00:37:13.960
I know it's hard.

704
00:37:14.039 --> 00:37:15.280
I have to have my medicine.

705
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:15.639
I have to.

706
00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:18.800
But I can't go to ascaland anymore.

707
00:37:18.719 --> 00:37:19.320
Go somewhere.

708
00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:26.159
I can't be seen on the street. Sits cry to

709
00:37:26.320 --> 00:37:29.920
understand it. Just come a little longer, Maggie, hold on,

710
00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:31.800
try it. Your fault.

711
00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:35.800
The accident was your fault. You were driving the car.

712
00:37:36.760 --> 00:37:39.719
You were jealous of me, jealous of my beautiful leg.

713
00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:42.519
Try to calm your sad. I was a pretty one.

714
00:37:43.320 --> 00:37:45.599
You smashed up the corsi of it. Smash me.

715
00:37:47.159 --> 00:37:51.440
Then you are punished for you are grinding. I want

716
00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:54.280
my medicine. I want my medicine a little bit.

717
00:37:54.639 --> 00:37:57.559
Please make it last as long as you can, but

718
00:37:57.719 --> 00:38:02.280
wait till tonight. We have to make what's lost last

719
00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:03.239
at least someone.

720
00:38:04.199 --> 00:38:04.840
I want it now.

721
00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:14.719
Please please, my dear sister, Please all right, be careful, spool,

722
00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:19.960
thank you, just.

723
00:38:22.599 --> 00:38:27.079
Whatever, some loyal so long, just true, lady.

724
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:39.880
I can close my eyes well, thank you, thank you, ah,

725
00:38:40.400 --> 00:38:46.320
come tell you thank you. Then it's a miracle how

726
00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:49.920
you can walk like that being blind and all, and

727
00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:51.400
you just wait to turn.

728
00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:54.679
And remember from last time the sa carabill.

729
00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:59.400
I must come to the point. I need to buy

730
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:01.039
some drugs.

731
00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:07.559
Drugs, missus calladall. You have a tenement house in this neighborhood.

732
00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:09.480
It's a respectable price.

733
00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:13.280
I didn't say no, your husband is again.

734
00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:14.159
Now that's a minute.

735
00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:19.880
That's pressure, not finding fault, only establishing the credentials. Now,

736
00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:27.320
surely there's your knowledge of things. You could find someone

737
00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:30.599
who will sell me some drugs.

738
00:39:33.920 --> 00:39:37.280
Yeah, I should have figured the no resk along.

739
00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:37.599
Good.

740
00:39:39.159 --> 00:39:45.400
Well, I could ask a few questions, get a few answers,

741
00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:50.920
and maybe put you in with somebody who knows somebody.

742
00:39:51.000 --> 00:39:52.039
That's all I ask.

743
00:39:53.199 --> 00:39:57.880
They won't get the price or a high quality, My sister,

744
00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:00.880
we can't afford to be particular.

745
00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:03.679
You know, I'd rather not do a thing like that.

746
00:40:03.840 --> 00:40:05.519
My Christopher is desperate.

747
00:40:07.000 --> 00:40:14.440
Yeah, I know, I and hear it screaming. Sometimes you're healthy. Yeah,

748
00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:17.400
if you want to call.

749
00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:26.159
It help, Okay, we can settle and ride.

750
00:40:26.360 --> 00:40:29.119
Once you got chubbie, I got your little old lady

751
00:40:29.559 --> 00:40:33.199
who her name is chris hwne agnes tak youwn oh.

752
00:40:33.840 --> 00:40:36.280
I told you she'd have to come up for air?

753
00:40:36.559 --> 00:40:38.280
How long could she stay under?

754
00:40:39.320 --> 00:40:40.639
She found Lester?

755
00:40:41.440 --> 00:40:45.239
Lester, Yeah, big Lester, the neighborhood pusher. He was told

756
00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:48.280
to make a note of new customers, especially old ladies.

757
00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:52.920
He pegged it. How does he describe her thin white hair?

758
00:40:53.920 --> 00:40:56.159
How many of them gonna be? It's gotta be yours?

759
00:40:56.320 --> 00:40:59.519
And I something is missing once. I don't know something

760
00:40:59.559 --> 00:41:03.119
about that old game. I can't put my finger on it.

761
00:41:03.519 --> 00:41:05.679
Whatever it is, you're still have to finish it off.

762
00:41:14.320 --> 00:41:15.239
How you doing, Julia?

763
00:41:16.320 --> 00:41:16.880
All right?

764
00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:20.320
How long you have been on Julie twelve?

765
00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:21.320
Boring?

766
00:41:22.440 --> 00:41:24.840
I'm sorry, It's not all brain works.

767
00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:28.719
Yeah, sometimes you gotta pull things like steak out. I

768
00:41:29.159 --> 00:41:32.079
don't mind, sir. Anybody who looks suspicious going into the

769
00:41:32.119 --> 00:41:36.639
house not yet. Trouble is, we don't know who to

770
00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:36.960
look for.

771
00:41:38.239 --> 00:41:40.599
Tell that truck going up in front of the house.

772
00:41:41.320 --> 00:41:43.800
Powers see the electric company? Power trucks?

773
00:41:44.159 --> 00:41:47.480
Oh you see two guys getting up.

774
00:41:47.880 --> 00:41:48.920
You're gonna read the meters?

775
00:41:49.840 --> 00:41:50.639
How do you know, sir?

776
00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:54.480
Well, I'm not carrying those clipboards. Oh, I wouldn't be

777
00:41:54.519 --> 00:42:08.320
too sure. Who who is it? What? What do you want?

778
00:42:08.639 --> 00:42:09.880
You get a short circuit?

779
00:42:09.960 --> 00:42:11.159
Reported? We've got a fiction.

780
00:42:12.840 --> 00:42:16.599
I don't know, Maggie. It sounds the reason the booking.

781
00:42:17.199 --> 00:42:19.119
It's just something about his voice.

782
00:42:19.599 --> 00:42:27.079
It's his voice sounds to do all day you came.

783
00:42:27.800 --> 00:42:30.119
I really not your voice? The killer.

784
00:42:31.519 --> 00:42:31.960
Door out?

785
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:36.239
What's the matter with you?

786
00:42:36.920 --> 00:42:37.280
Isn't real?

787
00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:40.679
You're reading a one man job, Captains. It seems to

788
00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:43.280
me I did not have twice.

789
00:42:43.440 --> 00:42:44.719
And I don't think you get.

790
00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:45.920
To the basement in the front.

791
00:42:46.519 --> 00:42:48.320
You have to go around to the back to get

792
00:42:48.360 --> 00:42:49.280
to the service, Entine.

793
00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:51.880
Can't you keep buying me?

794
00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:01.480
Pa?

795
00:43:01.639 --> 00:43:05.159
Don't kill her the one you yeah, old the dark glasses,

796
00:43:05.239 --> 00:43:06.239
I know her anywhere.

797
00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:06.679
Kill me.

798
00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:09.039
Don't kill the Sorry lady.

799
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:11.360
I could never identify you, but I'm blind.

800
00:43:11.719 --> 00:43:12.320
I'm blind.

801
00:43:12.440 --> 00:43:13.880
No attention, do what you have to do?

802
00:43:14.159 --> 00:43:15.679
Pay work plays?

803
00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:16.719
Why com it?

804
00:43:17.320 --> 00:43:17.760
Welcome?

805
00:43:18.480 --> 00:43:18.800
That's it?

806
00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:21.679
And still your lady's okay?

807
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:26.400
Oh no, no, I know, always bothering me all along.

808
00:43:27.480 --> 00:43:28.559
She's blind?

809
00:43:29.840 --> 00:43:38.199
Are we are we step now? Yes, lady, Y're safe now?

810
00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:53.239
And so I'm Mule and Chappy safe for many years

811
00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:57.239
at the state penitentiary. Well both of them are serving

812
00:43:57.400 --> 00:43:59.039
long terms without pearl.

813
00:44:00.119 --> 00:44:01.280
And so what did we give you?

814
00:44:02.320 --> 00:44:06.320
Life among some very ordinary people? What appeared to be

815
00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:10.000
a routine hold up that you should know by now.

816
00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:14.840
Nothing is ever routine on our show, as I shall

817
00:44:14.880 --> 00:44:27.440
demonstrate when I return in just a few seconds. Someone

818
00:44:27.559 --> 00:44:34.360
once said everything can happen to anyone provided he lives

819
00:44:34.519 --> 00:44:35.079
long enough.

820
00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:37.880
And so everything did.

821
00:44:37.960 --> 00:44:42.079
Happen on our story tonight, everything and even a happy

822
00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:46.559
ending because Maggie Tloune was turned over to the proper people,

823
00:44:46.679 --> 00:44:50.880
who managed to cure her of her addition for all

824
00:44:51.119 --> 00:44:56.719
kinds of endings. Remember we are here seven times each week.

825
00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:02.199
Our cast included Patricia Elliot and Matthews, Leon Jenny, Briana

826
00:45:02.280 --> 00:45:06.519
Raeburn and Earl Hammond. The entire production was under the

827
00:45:06.599 --> 00:45:08.039
direction of Hymond.

828
00:45:07.760 --> 00:45:09.840
Brown, missus E. G.

829
00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:13.920
Marshall, inviting you to return to our Mystery Theater for

830
00:45:14.079 --> 00:45:18.679
another adventure in the macabre until next time.

831
00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:30.559
Pleasant, my dear, how's the tea? It seems like you're

832
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:36.280
enjoying it. I find it both soothing and aromatic. The

833
00:45:36.440 --> 00:45:41.840
senses are fun, like that something can taste sweet or sour,

834
00:45:42.039 --> 00:45:46.960
but smell in many ways very different. But often when

835
00:45:47.039 --> 00:45:50.960
you smell something you have a good idea of what

836
00:45:51.119 --> 00:45:58.639
it tastes like. But those are rudimentary senses. You would

837
00:45:58.679 --> 00:46:03.760
never count on your sense of taste to save your life,

838
00:46:04.599 --> 00:46:09.840
would you? Perhaps, when you're in the Country of the Blind?

839
00:46:13.440 --> 00:46:24.000
Are you burned up at the high price of turkeys?

840
00:46:25.320 --> 00:46:28.960
Can't get eggs for your pumpkin pie? Want to get

841
00:46:28.960 --> 00:46:32.360
away from it all? We offer you escape.

842
00:46:42.719 --> 00:46:46.639
You're trapped in a remote valley of the Andes, walled

843
00:46:46.679 --> 00:46:52.400
in by sheer rock precipices, and surrounding you, closing in

844
00:46:52.559 --> 00:46:56.960
on you is a band of blind men who want

845
00:46:57.039 --> 00:46:57.559
your eyes.

846
00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:04.280
Produced and directed by William N. Robeson and carefully plotted

847
00:47:04.320 --> 00:47:06.559
to free you from the four walls of today for

848
00:47:06.679 --> 00:47:08.639
a half hour of high adventure.

849
00:47:12.880 --> 00:47:18.159
Tonight we escaped to the high mountains of Ecuador and

850
00:47:18.360 --> 00:47:23.440
to a remarkable world where sight is unknown, as H. G.

851
00:47:23.639 --> 00:47:28.159
Wells imagined it in his curious story The Country of

852
00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:28.719
the Blind.

853
00:47:45.199 --> 00:47:46.199
My name is Ibarra.

854
00:47:47.000 --> 00:47:49.719
I am a mining engineer in Quito, Ecuador, high in

855
00:47:49.800 --> 00:47:53.760
the towering Andes, and up until a year ago, my

856
00:47:54.039 --> 00:47:58.000
chief sport was mountain climbing. My last climb was an

857
00:47:58.000 --> 00:48:01.320
attempt to scale the remote and forbidding peak of Periscota Petal,

858
00:48:02.119 --> 00:48:09.000
the twenty thousand foot crag unconquered by man. It is

859
00:48:09.119 --> 00:48:14.119
unconquered still three thousand feet from the icy summit, our

860
00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:17.400
party turned back and fled for their lives. All of

861
00:48:17.480 --> 00:48:22.079
us escaped except one, a guide named Nunes, who slipped

862
00:48:22.119 --> 00:48:25.840
and fell over the precipice, disappearing into the vast chasm

863
00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:34.719
that yarned ten thousand feet beneath us. The horror of

864
00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:37.880
that man's fall has haunted my dreams for a year.

865
00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:42.920
Because of it, I have forsaken mountain climbing for the

866
00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:48.360
rest of my life, and that decision still stands, even

867
00:48:48.440 --> 00:48:55.840
though today I have seen Nunes. He was sitting on

868
00:48:55.920 --> 00:48:57.719
the steps of my shack when I arrived at the

869
00:48:57.760 --> 00:49:00.559
mine this morning. At first I didn't reckonognize him. He

870
00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:03.519
was so much changed. I thought he was a ragged beggar,

871
00:49:03.599 --> 00:49:04.800
asking alms.

872
00:49:05.079 --> 00:49:05.159
Is.

873
00:49:06.639 --> 00:49:08.360
Is it you, sennory Bara?

874
00:49:08.960 --> 00:49:09.760
My name is Ibarra.

875
00:49:09.880 --> 00:49:10.800
Yes, what do you want?

876
00:49:11.719 --> 00:49:13.519
You do not know me, Senor?

877
00:49:14.079 --> 00:49:14.599
I know I.

878
00:49:16.719 --> 00:49:18.679
You look like a man I knew once.

879
00:49:18.840 --> 00:49:24.079
But he is dead, dead on the slopes of Paris,

880
00:49:24.199 --> 00:49:24.960
got the pedal.

881
00:49:25.760 --> 00:49:26.159
Nuns.

882
00:49:27.239 --> 00:49:31.800
No, it couldn't be you, nunas that is my name, Senor.

883
00:49:33.159 --> 00:49:36.039
At least that is the name. I remember, But you fell.

884
00:49:36.119 --> 00:49:36.880
I saw you fall.

885
00:49:37.719 --> 00:49:39.199
It's impossible that you could have lived.

886
00:49:40.079 --> 00:49:43.840
Perhaps the gods of the montin had some reason to spare.

887
00:49:43.599 --> 00:49:45.639
Me, known as if we'd had any idea that you

888
00:49:45.719 --> 00:49:49.079
were alive. But you went down down thousands of feet.

889
00:49:49.119 --> 00:49:50.800
We couldn't even attempt to find your body.

890
00:49:51.079 --> 00:49:52.719
I know I do not blame you.

891
00:49:54.000 --> 00:49:57.559
You could not have reached me, and if you had,

892
00:49:57.760 --> 00:50:04.360
I should not have welcome you at first, but then later?

893
00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:10.960
What do you mean, ones, senor? You will not believe

894
00:50:11.159 --> 00:50:14.199
what I have to tell. I can hardly believe that

895
00:50:14.239 --> 00:50:17.639
I'm seeing you talking to you. But what has happened

896
00:50:17.679 --> 00:50:22.280
to you? You remember that night, the night I fell. Yes,

897
00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:26.519
we had been toiling all day, inching our way up

898
00:50:26.559 --> 00:50:30.880
a steep ice wall. In this darkness came We found

899
00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:34.679
a narrow ledge, fairly three feet wide.

900
00:50:37.480 --> 00:50:39.559
It's not very wide, but we can get our shoulder

901
00:50:39.599 --> 00:50:41.880
wall up cut off some of this wind. How that'll be.

902
00:50:41.960 --> 00:50:44.239
Welcome, Yes, but first we'll rest a moment.

903
00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:48.360
Look at that icy devil up there, glistening in the moonlight.

904
00:50:48.960 --> 00:50:51.679
There's another three thousand feet of sheer ice wall to

905
00:50:51.760 --> 00:50:53.800
the top. And I can see why no one's ever

906
00:50:53.880 --> 00:50:56.000
made it. I think we should go on.

907
00:50:56.480 --> 00:51:00.599
I don't know, nice, I think it is not my

908
00:51:00.719 --> 00:51:03.880
place to say, Senor. I was hired to guide you

909
00:51:03.960 --> 00:51:04.440
to the top.

910
00:51:05.360 --> 00:51:07.239
I agreed. What do you really thinking?

911
00:51:08.280 --> 00:51:11.119
If I believed in the gods of the mountain as

912
00:51:11.199 --> 00:51:13.880
the Indians do, I should be frightened?

913
00:51:13.920 --> 00:51:14.079
Now?

914
00:51:14.320 --> 00:51:14.519
Why?

915
00:51:15.599 --> 00:51:19.280
Because we have invaded the forbidden circle. This part of

916
00:51:19.320 --> 00:51:22.320
the Andes is unmapping, unknown, Senor.

917
00:51:22.559 --> 00:51:24.480
And therefore shrouded in superstition.

918
00:51:24.639 --> 00:51:28.159
Eh, it is an easy thing to believe strange things

919
00:51:28.199 --> 00:51:29.280
in this white loneliness.

920
00:51:30.119 --> 00:51:33.320
Some of the legends are really fascinating. I've heard of

921
00:51:33.400 --> 00:51:36.280
once something about a hidden valley called the Country of

922
00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:36.719
the Blind.

923
00:51:36.880 --> 00:51:41.159
Yes, it is supposed to be somewhere down there below us,

924
00:51:42.119 --> 00:51:45.639
a fertile valley which was settled many centuries ago and

925
00:51:45.760 --> 00:51:47.960
then cut off by the great landslide.

926
00:51:47.440 --> 00:51:47.920
Of a Rocca.

927
00:51:48.039 --> 00:51:50.320
But why are the Country of the Blind?

928
00:51:51.119 --> 00:51:54.639
Well, even before it was isolated, the people developed a

929
00:51:54.679 --> 00:52:00.440
strange illness. All of them slowly went blind afterildren were

930
00:52:00.480 --> 00:52:03.960
born blind. And the legend is that the valley was

931
00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:08.199
the home of the mountain gods. It was too beautiful

932
00:52:08.320 --> 00:52:09.199
for human eyes.

933
00:52:09.440 --> 00:52:11.800
So it's all nonsense.

934
00:52:12.440 --> 00:52:14.760
Yes, of course would.

935
00:52:14.559 --> 00:52:15.440
Be pleased to fighter.

936
00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:17.519
Though you know the old proverb.

937
00:52:18.559 --> 00:52:22.159
In the country of the blind, the one eyed.

938
00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:22.599
Man is king.

939
00:52:23.559 --> 00:52:26.519
I doubt that we could ever find it. I even

940
00:52:26.559 --> 00:52:28.280
doubt if it exists, of course not.

941
00:52:29.039 --> 00:52:29.880
I was only joking.

942
00:52:30.599 --> 00:52:34.400
Yes, but now, if you're arrested, we'll make the shelter wall.

943
00:52:34.559 --> 00:52:36.559
Right, I'll give you a hand in a minute.

944
00:52:37.719 --> 00:52:40.000
Believe me, abar for two pays hos, I give up

945
00:52:40.039 --> 00:52:43.880
this clime. I never realized that I'm slipping. Hang on, no,

946
00:52:44.039 --> 00:52:45.159
Ned no ned.

947
00:52:51.559 --> 00:52:53.920
In one horrible instant, my foot had slipped on the

948
00:52:53.960 --> 00:52:56.639
treacherous ledge and I'd gone over, falling far out into

949
00:52:56.679 --> 00:53:03.360
the icy black knight, falling down down, I fell perhaps

950
00:53:03.440 --> 00:53:06.239
a thousand feet. Then I felt a heavy stinging impact

951
00:53:06.280 --> 00:53:08.960
of snow. I'd fallen on an almost perpendicular snow slope,

952
00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:13.000
and now I was sliding down, down, tumbling over and over.

953
00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:18.199
And then suddenly I realized that my own motion had

954
00:53:18.239 --> 00:53:21.000
almost stopped, and it was the snow that was moving.

955
00:53:21.400 --> 00:53:24.159
I was riding an avalanche. At almost the same moment,

956
00:53:24.199 --> 00:53:27.920
I went over the second precipice. It was higher than

957
00:53:27.960 --> 00:53:30.079
the first, much higher, perhaps four thousand feet I fell

958
00:53:30.159 --> 00:53:32.239
with the snow for what seemed minutes every second, expecting

959
00:53:32.280 --> 00:53:33.480
the terrible final impact.

960
00:53:33.880 --> 00:53:35.000
But the impact never came.

961
00:53:35.119 --> 00:53:38.639
Miracle of miracles, that sheerwall blended almost imperceptibly into another

962
00:53:38.679 --> 00:53:42.559
steep snow slope, and again I was sliding gradually. As

963
00:53:42.599 --> 00:53:45.400
the ark of the slope curved away. I felt myself

964
00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:49.559
slow down, and finally I rolled to a stop and

965
00:53:49.719 --> 00:53:55.440
lay still. When I awoke, it was morning and I

966
00:53:55.519 --> 00:53:58.719
was covered with snow. I shook off the cold white

967
00:53:58.760 --> 00:54:03.280
blanket on my chin yest and rested a moment, and

968
00:54:03.360 --> 00:54:04.320
then I rolled over on my.

969
00:54:04.400 --> 00:54:05.159
Back and looked up.

970
00:54:11.639 --> 00:54:13.639
My heart almost stopped as I saw from where I'd

971
00:54:13.719 --> 00:54:17.639
fallen why the mountain towered ten thousand feet above me,

972
00:54:18.719 --> 00:54:22.280
and carefully I felt it myself. My clothes were torn,

973
00:54:22.360 --> 00:54:25.840
I was bruised and bleeding. I ached in every muscle,

974
00:54:25.920 --> 00:54:30.280
but I had not a single broken bone. I lay

975
00:54:30.320 --> 00:54:32.320
there and offered up a prayer to the gods of

976
00:54:32.400 --> 00:54:41.320
the mountain. Far below me lay a lush valley sparkling

977
00:54:41.400 --> 00:54:45.159
in the morning sunlight. I could see the stately trees

978
00:54:45.679 --> 00:54:49.440
and the green meadows fresh with dew. I started down

979
00:54:49.519 --> 00:54:52.880
the mountain, but it was still an arduous descent. The

980
00:54:53.000 --> 00:54:55.519
farther down I got, the more I realized the beauty

981
00:54:55.639 --> 00:54:59.480
of the scene. Why this was a hidden paradise. I

982
00:54:59.480 --> 00:55:02.519
had fallen, and I was the first man ever to

983
00:55:02.599 --> 00:55:05.400
see it, so I thought.

984
00:55:06.559 --> 00:55:09.320
But I was wrong. I realized that.

985
00:55:09.760 --> 00:55:12.840
First when I saw the cultivation in the meadows, and

986
00:55:12.960 --> 00:55:15.920
then the walks, well kept stone walks laid in a

987
00:55:15.960 --> 00:55:17.800
symmetrical pattern all over the valley.

988
00:55:18.920 --> 00:55:19.880
And then I saw them.

989
00:55:21.960 --> 00:55:25.239
There were men and women lying under the trees and

990
00:55:25.480 --> 00:55:30.440
resting in the fields. Nearby, a collection of windowless huts

991
00:55:30.559 --> 00:55:33.840
marked a village, and the plastering of the houses was

992
00:55:33.960 --> 00:55:38.239
done in a wild variety of colors. I thought to myself,

993
00:55:39.599 --> 00:55:41.920
the plaster who did that must have been blind as

994
00:55:41.960 --> 00:55:45.559
a bat. Then I saw two of the men quite

995
00:55:45.599 --> 00:55:48.280
close to me. They were standing on a bridge over

996
00:55:48.320 --> 00:55:52.079
the little stream. They were dressed in odd, loose clothing,

997
00:55:52.719 --> 00:55:56.000
and there was a strange look about their faces. They

998
00:55:56.039 --> 00:55:58.400
failed to notice me as I approached, until I shouted.

999
00:55:59.000 --> 00:56:02.400
Suddenly they looked up tenderly in my direction. I waved

1000
00:56:02.679 --> 00:56:07.760
wildly at them, but they took no notice. Why the

1001
00:56:08.000 --> 00:56:09.320
fools must be blind?

1002
00:56:11.000 --> 00:56:14.719
Blind? Could it be that I have fallen into the

1003
00:56:14.800 --> 00:56:17.679
country of the blind. Hum.

1004
00:56:18.639 --> 00:56:21.599
In the country of the blind, a one eyed man

1005
00:56:21.800 --> 00:56:27.920
can be king. Ah, Hello there, you needn't be afraid.

1006
00:56:28.400 --> 00:56:30.920
I won't hurt you. I come in peace.

1007
00:56:31.519 --> 00:56:36.000
It is a man for a spirit come down from

1008
00:56:36.039 --> 00:56:40.039
the rocks. Oh, I'm a man all right, just like you.

1009
00:56:40.239 --> 00:56:42.480
But I've had a miraculous escape, and now I find

1010
00:56:42.519 --> 00:56:48.679
myself here in your valley, valley, valley, Come hither, Let

1011
00:56:48.800 --> 00:56:54.199
me fail of you. Yes, certainly, hear my arm is

1012
00:56:54.280 --> 00:56:57.920
my face, you see. I am a man, I like yourself.

1013
00:56:58.679 --> 00:56:58.840
Here.

1014
00:56:59.119 --> 00:57:04.360
Feel my lips they move with speech. Oh, carefully, gently,

1015
00:57:04.440 --> 00:57:11.360
those are my eyes, eyes, eyes. That is strange. Feel

1016
00:57:11.400 --> 00:57:15.280
this career, Yes, I feel careful.

1017
00:57:16.280 --> 00:57:17.320
Feel the eyelids flutter.

1018
00:57:17.920 --> 00:57:23.280
He is but imperfectly formed. Some strange bulgs there unseemly.

1019
00:57:23.800 --> 00:57:27.119
No, No, you see your eyes are shrunken in but

1020
00:57:27.559 --> 00:57:32.960
minor hole. I can see see Pedro. He is a

1021
00:57:33.119 --> 00:57:36.960
strange wild one. Where does he come from? He must

1022
00:57:37.000 --> 00:57:39.079
have come down out of the rock. No, from over

1023
00:57:39.159 --> 00:57:41.639
the mountains, out of the country beyond there where men

1024
00:57:41.719 --> 00:57:45.440
can see from Bogota, where there are a hundred thousand

1025
00:57:45.519 --> 00:57:48.400
people and a city stretches out of sight sight.

1026
00:57:49.000 --> 00:57:53.480
What strange words he uses without meaning? And feel the

1027
00:57:53.599 --> 00:57:57.559
costness of his hair like a llamas. Our fathers have

1028
00:57:57.679 --> 00:58:00.360
told us men may be made by forces of nature.

1029
00:58:01.199 --> 00:58:05.239
It is the warmth of things and moisture and rottenness.

1030
00:58:05.559 --> 00:58:07.199
Let us lead him to the elders.

1031
00:58:07.480 --> 00:58:11.639
But no one need lead me. I can see see. Oh, yes,

1032
00:58:11.760 --> 00:58:16.559
of course I can. Hit I I didn't see your

1033
00:58:16.599 --> 00:58:17.199
water bucket.

1034
00:58:17.400 --> 00:58:21.360
His senses are still imperfect. He stumbles and talks on

1035
00:58:21.559 --> 00:58:24.719
meaning words. Lead him by the hand, pedro.

1036
00:58:24.719 --> 00:58:33.559
But look, I h oh, well, all right. These people

1037
00:58:33.639 --> 00:58:37.119
had been blind for centuries. They had forgotten even the

1038
00:58:37.239 --> 00:58:41.679
words associated with seeing. And they thought I was an idiot,

1039
00:58:42.119 --> 00:58:45.480
only half formed, especially when they let me into the

1040
00:58:45.519 --> 00:58:48.280
pitch blackness of one of their windowless huts and I

1041
00:58:48.320 --> 00:58:52.880
stumbled for someone. Hey, thousand pardons, madona, si rotta. He

1042
00:58:53.000 --> 00:58:53.840
is a clumsy one.

1043
00:58:54.039 --> 00:58:56.679
I am sorry. I fell down. I I couldn't see

1044
00:58:56.719 --> 00:58:57.360
in the darkness.

1045
00:58:57.679 --> 00:59:01.239
Who is this and what is he saying?

1046
00:59:01.519 --> 00:59:04.760
He is but newly formed, good father. He has come

1047
00:59:04.880 --> 00:59:08.360
down from the rocks. He stumbles as he walks, and

1048
00:59:08.519 --> 00:59:11.199
mingles words that mean nothing with his speech.

1049
00:59:11.440 --> 00:59:13.360
He is a wild man out of the rocks. No,

1050
00:59:13.480 --> 00:59:17.800
I come from Bogota over the mountains. You hear Bogota.

1051
00:59:18.599 --> 00:59:22.119
He uses wild words. His mind is hardly formed. He

1052
00:59:22.159 --> 00:59:23.719
has only the beginnings of speech.

1053
00:59:26.320 --> 00:59:29.639
Yes, I come from the great world where men have

1054
00:59:29.800 --> 00:59:30.679
eyes and see.

1055
00:59:31.559 --> 00:59:33.519
That must be his name, Bogota.

1056
00:59:33.800 --> 00:59:36.159
He stumbled twice as we came through them.

1057
00:59:36.480 --> 00:59:41.360
He must be tar. No, you don't understand. I can see,

1058
00:59:41.519 --> 00:59:44.480
but not in the dark. To you, darkness or light

1059
00:59:44.559 --> 00:59:46.760
is all the same. But to me, to us who

1060
00:59:46.800 --> 00:59:50.199
can see, to us outside in the world, beyond the mountains.

1061
00:59:49.920 --> 00:59:53.679
Mountains, what are mountains?

1062
00:59:54.440 --> 00:59:55.719
Very well, then beyond the rocks.

1063
00:59:57.119 --> 01:00:01.599
There is nothing beyond the rocks. That is the end

1064
01:00:01.719 --> 01:00:02.239
of the world.

1065
01:00:03.159 --> 01:00:06.360
But surely you must realize thee The sky above covers

1066
01:00:06.400 --> 01:00:07.519
more than just this valley.

1067
01:00:07.599 --> 01:00:12.920
Sky above there is nothing above but the roof of rock.

1068
01:00:14.519 --> 01:00:17.639
He is very raw, my children, he shall have to

1069
01:00:17.760 --> 01:00:20.280
be taught from the beginnings.

1070
01:00:21.960 --> 01:00:22.000
Er.

1071
01:00:22.440 --> 01:00:24.639
I'll take him away, feed him.

1072
01:00:25.199 --> 01:00:26.599
It shall be done with the father.

1073
01:00:27.280 --> 01:00:31.440
But guide him, see that he does not stumble over

1074
01:00:31.559 --> 01:00:32.880
My daughter, Agale.

1075
01:00:32.800 --> 01:00:38.199
Do not fear father. I shall guide him myself and

1076
01:00:38.400 --> 01:00:39.920
feed him very well.

1077
01:00:41.280 --> 01:00:46.480
Come pick my hand, thank you it. It will be

1078
01:00:46.480 --> 01:00:49.840
a pleasure to get outside again, out of this darkness.

1079
01:00:50.239 --> 01:00:51.039
Come this way.

1080
01:00:51.480 --> 01:00:54.760
Yes, what is your name?

1081
01:00:55.960 --> 01:01:02.639
Maydana sair Rothe mine is one one noons, Oh, oh sunlight.

1082
01:01:03.519 --> 01:01:04.320
Oh this is better.

1083
01:01:04.760 --> 01:01:10.400
And now I may look at you. Why you are beautiful?

1084
01:01:11.880 --> 01:01:13.880
I cannot tell you what a wonderful thing you are

1085
01:01:13.960 --> 01:01:14.280
to see?

1086
01:01:14.480 --> 01:01:18.039
Please, you must be careful. Why you do not learn

1087
01:01:18.159 --> 01:01:22.119
quickly and see speaking such strange words, they may not

1088
01:01:22.239 --> 01:01:26.239
be so kind to you. They might be angry. They

1089
01:01:26.320 --> 01:01:28.199
might even destroy you.

1090
01:01:34.800 --> 01:01:37.239
This thought had not occurred to me, and suddenly I

1091
01:01:37.280 --> 01:01:40.559
had a twinge of fear. Still, the proverb kept running

1092
01:01:40.599 --> 01:01:43.480
through my mind. In the country of the blind, a

1093
01:01:43.599 --> 01:01:46.559
one eyed man is king. But try as I would,

1094
01:01:46.599 --> 01:01:49.320
I cannot make them understand my wonderful gift of sight.

1095
01:01:49.840 --> 01:01:53.960
They thought me stupid and untaught, almost an idiot. Day

1096
01:01:54.000 --> 01:01:56.159
by day I learned their peaceful ways.

1097
01:01:55.920 --> 01:01:58.559
But they could not learn mine. I was beginning to

1098
01:01:58.599 --> 01:01:59.320
get on my nerves.

1099
01:02:00.639 --> 01:02:06.119
There's two perhaps, Bogota Bogo ta come hither bogot tae.

1100
01:02:06.199 --> 01:02:08.039
You moved not no, and I won't.

1101
01:02:08.079 --> 01:02:09.639
You will beat. I'll show you. I'll leave the.

1102
01:02:09.679 --> 01:02:12.360
Path, trample not on the grass.

1103
01:02:12.760 --> 01:02:13.719
It is not allowed.

1104
01:02:13.920 --> 01:02:16.119
How did you know I stepped on the grass. I heard,

1105
01:02:16.239 --> 01:02:18.119
of course heard, but I didn't make a sound.

1106
01:02:18.639 --> 01:02:21.239
Why do you not come when I call you? Can

1107
01:02:21.280 --> 01:02:23.199
you not hear the path as you walk?

1108
01:02:23.519 --> 01:02:24.159
I can see it.

1109
01:02:24.559 --> 01:02:28.639
There is no such word as sea. Seise this folly

1110
01:02:28.719 --> 01:02:30.400
and follow the sound of my feet.

1111
01:02:30.559 --> 01:02:31.880
Oh, my time will come.

1112
01:02:32.239 --> 01:02:35.320
You will learn. There is much to learn in the world.

1113
01:02:35.559 --> 01:02:37.280
Has no one ever told you? In the country the

1114
01:02:37.360 --> 01:02:39.559
blind the one eyed man is king blind?

1115
01:02:40.360 --> 01:02:41.280
What is blind?

1116
01:02:42.199 --> 01:02:42.320
Oh?

1117
01:02:42.599 --> 01:02:47.079
Never mind, Bogota, I must warn you. Just keep quiet

1118
01:02:47.199 --> 01:02:50.559
and learn, and stop this nonsense about seeing.

1119
01:02:50.719 --> 01:02:53.239
Nonsense is it. I'll show you I've taken enough of

1120
01:02:53.280 --> 01:02:56.199
your insults. Informed mind, got no sense yet, I'll be

1121
01:02:56.320 --> 01:02:57.360
king here. I can see it.

1122
01:02:57.400 --> 01:02:59.519
I'll be king, bogo Tar, stop it.

1123
01:02:59.639 --> 01:03:00.679
No, I'm through with your orders.

1124
01:03:00.679 --> 01:03:02.280
I'll show you what an advantage site can be.

1125
01:03:03.000 --> 01:03:04.880
I can hit you and hurt you, and you can't

1126
01:03:04.920 --> 01:03:05.880
see me to strike back.

1127
01:03:05.960 --> 01:03:08.159
Boguta. Put down that spade, you devil.

1128
01:03:08.239 --> 01:03:09.760
Your ears are sharp, aren't they.

1129
01:03:09.840 --> 01:03:11.920
Bogutta, there must be no file I heaven.

1130
01:03:11.960 --> 01:03:13.559
I'll hit you if you come any closer, I swear I.

1131
01:03:13.599 --> 01:03:16.519
Will put down that spade and come off the grass.

1132
01:03:16.760 --> 01:03:19.039
You don't understand you are blind, and I can see,

1133
01:03:19.119 --> 01:03:21.400
I can see I'll hurt you.

1134
01:03:21.480 --> 01:03:22.039
I swear I.

1135
01:03:22.079 --> 01:03:23.679
Will put down that spade.

1136
01:03:23.800 --> 01:03:24.559
Leave me alone.

1137
01:03:29.400 --> 01:03:31.760
I hit him with a spade and ran over the

1138
01:03:31.800 --> 01:03:33.719
wall outside the valley, back to the rocks, back to

1139
01:03:33.760 --> 01:03:35.960
the cliff i'd come from. When I reached that sheer

1140
01:03:36.039 --> 01:03:37.559
rock wall, I knew there was no place to go.

1141
01:03:38.440 --> 01:03:41.159
For two days and nights I stayed outside the valley.

1142
01:03:41.599 --> 01:03:45.280
I grew hungry and cold, and I realized the hopelessness

1143
01:03:45.320 --> 01:03:45.920
of my position.

1144
01:03:46.639 --> 01:03:47.320
I was trapped.

1145
01:03:48.199 --> 01:03:49.719
I must spend the rest of my life here.

1146
01:03:50.480 --> 01:03:51.360
There was no way out.

1147
01:03:53.320 --> 01:03:54.119
So I went back.

1148
01:03:58.760 --> 01:04:02.039
I confess, so, chief of the elders, I was mad.

1149
01:04:02.199 --> 01:04:05.159
I admit I was only newly made.

1150
01:04:05.480 --> 01:04:11.239
That is better. And do you still think you can see?

1151
01:04:11.760 --> 01:04:11.800
No?

1152
01:04:12.119 --> 01:04:14.800
No, no, that was folly. The words mean nothing, less

1153
01:04:14.840 --> 01:04:15.280
than nothing.

1154
01:04:15.559 --> 01:04:17.960
And what is overhead rock?

1155
01:04:18.760 --> 01:04:21.719
There's a roof above the world, a roof of rock,

1156
01:04:21.840 --> 01:04:25.760
and very smooth, Very well, And please, before you ask

1157
01:04:25.840 --> 01:04:28.599
me anymore, give me food or I shall die.

1158
01:04:29.079 --> 01:04:29.599
Very well.

1159
01:04:29.840 --> 01:04:36.679
Give him food, dinosaur, And after that we must put

1160
01:04:36.760 --> 01:04:40.639
him to the most menial tasks in the village. Got

1161
01:04:40.719 --> 01:04:45.960
him well, Perhaps perhaps he shall learn yet.

1162
01:04:46.679 --> 01:04:59.480
Thank you, thank you, oh that is better. You are kind, Ma.

1163
01:04:59.559 --> 01:05:01.920
Dinosaur, very kind.

1164
01:05:03.159 --> 01:05:04.679
I am glad you came back.

1165
01:05:05.199 --> 01:05:05.519
You are.

1166
01:05:06.880 --> 01:05:08.280
If they were all like you, I should never have

1167
01:05:08.360 --> 01:05:08.760
run away.

1168
01:05:09.960 --> 01:05:12.320
What was that word you said?

1169
01:05:12.400 --> 01:05:14.400
I was beautiful?

1170
01:05:15.519 --> 01:05:19.519
You are, but even your eyes they're not shrunken depressions

1171
01:05:19.639 --> 01:05:20.159
like the others.

1172
01:05:20.679 --> 01:05:23.719
It means something nice, beautiful.

1173
01:05:23.760 --> 01:05:29.559
Something very nice. My Dinosa Rotti, tell me why is

1174
01:05:29.599 --> 01:05:30.519
it you have no husband?

1175
01:05:31.280 --> 01:05:31.400
Hi?

1176
01:05:33.320 --> 01:05:34.760
I have a disfigure man.

1177
01:05:36.000 --> 01:05:41.480
These long hairs, Oh, your eyelashes, Oh, but they're beautiful.

1178
01:05:41.719 --> 01:05:43.360
They are considered a disfigurement.

1179
01:05:43.559 --> 01:05:46.079
You're the most lovely girl in the valley. But they

1180
01:05:46.119 --> 01:05:54.679
wouldn't know, would they wod you have no lover? No, Dinocerotti,

1181
01:05:56.079 --> 01:05:58.199
what do you think of me? Do you think of

1182
01:05:58.280 --> 01:05:59.719
me as an idiot like all the rest of them?

1183
01:05:59.760 --> 01:05:59.800
No?

1184
01:06:00.840 --> 01:06:03.719
No, you have much to learn, but you will learn it,

1185
01:06:03.840 --> 01:06:08.639
I'm sure. And you are kind and gentle, and your

1186
01:06:08.760 --> 01:06:13.559
voice is soft. You speak words that are soft and warm.

1187
01:06:15.000 --> 01:06:18.039
No one has ever spoken such words to me, and.

1188
01:06:18.119 --> 01:06:22.039
I shall speak them often. Madame Soroti, you are the

1189
01:06:22.119 --> 01:06:25.360
only one in this valley, in this whole world I

1190
01:06:25.480 --> 01:06:25.760
care for.

1191
01:06:34.840 --> 01:06:35.880
And so it began.

1192
01:06:37.159 --> 01:06:41.400
I the village idiot, the slave boy who dreamed to

1193
01:06:41.480 --> 01:06:46.079
be king. I, with my eyes still whole, fell in

1194
01:06:46.159 --> 01:06:49.039
love with Madona Sirotte, the daughter of the elder of

1195
01:06:49.119 --> 01:06:52.880
the village. Only to her could I open my heart

1196
01:06:52.960 --> 01:06:56.360
without fear. Only to her could I speak of the

1197
01:06:56.440 --> 01:07:01.039
beauty I could see around me. Oh, it is a

1198
01:07:01.199 --> 01:07:06.920
beautiful valley, my dinosaurrote, green with grass and yellow with

1199
01:07:07.079 --> 01:07:13.679
sunlight and flowers, bright flowers dotting the hills, And in

1200
01:07:13.760 --> 01:07:17.039
the cool of the night, the stars gleam like diamonds

1201
01:07:17.079 --> 01:07:17.599
in the sky.

1202
01:07:20.320 --> 01:07:24.639
The words sound lovely, But what are stars?

1203
01:07:25.079 --> 01:07:30.360
Stars? Why? No, you wouldn't understand, And.

1204
01:07:30.519 --> 01:07:33.119
What do you mean in the cool of the night?

1205
01:07:34.079 --> 01:07:37.559
You still get that confused one. The night is warm,

1206
01:07:38.159 --> 01:07:39.199
the day is cool.

1207
01:07:39.679 --> 01:07:42.079
Oh no, it is you here who have them backwards,

1208
01:07:42.960 --> 01:07:45.559
because the darkness means nothing to you. You work in

1209
01:07:45.639 --> 01:07:47.760
the cool of the night and sleep in the heat

1210
01:07:47.800 --> 01:07:48.239
of the day.

1211
01:07:48.360 --> 01:07:49.679
But you are teasing me.

1212
01:07:50.239 --> 01:07:54.880
No, Oh, what does it matter?

1213
01:07:56.360 --> 01:08:01.119
All that matters is you, you, you here beside me,

1214
01:08:01.239 --> 01:08:02.119
Madona Sorote.

1215
01:08:04.920 --> 01:08:06.800
I love you, I love you.

1216
01:08:08.400 --> 01:08:11.480
I I know they still think me an idiot, But

1217
01:08:12.639 --> 01:08:16.000
you listen to what I say, and you don't think

1218
01:08:16.079 --> 01:08:16.600
me an idiot?

1219
01:08:16.640 --> 01:08:16.840
Do you.

1220
01:08:17.600 --> 01:08:20.239
No, I like to hear you speak.

1221
01:08:20.760 --> 01:08:25.119
Then will you would you marry me?

1222
01:08:26.239 --> 01:08:26.479
Yes?

1223
01:08:28.279 --> 01:08:30.880
Yes, one, I will marry you.

1224
01:08:43.960 --> 01:08:46.199
No, I will not have it.

1225
01:08:46.319 --> 01:08:47.439
But father, he is.

1226
01:08:47.439 --> 01:08:51.960
An idiot, he has delusions. He cannot do anything right.

1227
01:08:52.039 --> 01:08:55.039
But he is getting better. He's better than he was.

1228
01:08:55.560 --> 01:08:58.640
And he is strong and kind, stronger and kinder than

1229
01:08:58.680 --> 01:09:01.680
any one in the world. And he loves me, and

1230
01:09:01.800 --> 01:09:02.399
I love him.

1231
01:09:02.720 --> 01:09:06.479
Now I will not have it, as great sire, if

1232
01:09:06.560 --> 01:09:10.840
you please, what is it, good doctor, I have examined Bogatta,

1233
01:09:11.720 --> 01:09:12.920
and the case is clear to me.

1234
01:09:13.720 --> 01:09:17.880
I think very probably he might be cured her. And

1235
01:09:18.840 --> 01:09:22.239
how might that be done? His brain is affected.

1236
01:09:21.840 --> 01:09:25.439
By something, I believe I know what it is, those

1237
01:09:25.640 --> 01:09:29.239
queer things he calls eyes where we have but an

1238
01:09:29.239 --> 01:09:33.760
agreeable depression. He has great lumps with flaps over them

1239
01:09:33.840 --> 01:09:38.159
that move in long hairs. Consequently, his brain is in

1240
01:09:38.239 --> 01:09:42.279
a constant state of irritation. But what can be done

1241
01:09:42.359 --> 01:09:47.199
to cure him? Have very simple surgical operation remove the

1242
01:09:47.319 --> 01:09:50.960
cause of the irritation. We will merely cut out his eyes.

1243
01:09:56.960 --> 01:10:00.399
But one they say, it will make you well, it

1244
01:10:00.439 --> 01:10:01.680
will make you look like us.

1245
01:10:02.079 --> 01:10:06.000
But you don't understand my dinoceroty My world is sight.

1246
01:10:07.199 --> 01:10:09.680
You would not want me to lose my most precious possession.

1247
01:10:10.840 --> 01:10:11.359
I don't know.

1248
01:10:12.239 --> 01:10:15.840
There are so many beautiful things to see, the flowers,

1249
01:10:15.960 --> 01:10:20.119
the far sky with its drifting clouds, the sunsets, the stars,

1250
01:10:21.800 --> 01:10:25.359
and you, if only just to see you. It is

1251
01:10:25.439 --> 01:10:28.800
good to have sight, and I would never see you again.

1252
01:10:29.399 --> 01:10:29.600
Huh.

1253
01:10:30.880 --> 01:10:33.840
I love to hear you say these things, even though

1254
01:10:33.920 --> 01:10:35.720
I know it is just your imagination.

1255
01:10:36.159 --> 01:10:37.840
But my dear, these things are real.

1256
01:10:38.119 --> 01:10:39.880
No, they are fancies.

1257
01:10:40.840 --> 01:10:41.600
This is real.

1258
01:10:42.640 --> 01:10:45.479
If you will let them cut out your eyes, we

1259
01:10:45.600 --> 01:10:47.560
can be together always.

1260
01:10:47.279 --> 01:10:47.359
And.

1261
01:10:49.560 --> 01:10:52.920
You want me to if you would, if only you would,

1262
01:10:54.399 --> 01:10:58.279
What else can I do, my dearest one.

1263
01:10:59.279 --> 01:11:03.319
My dear, with a tender voice, I will repay you.

1264
01:11:04.399 --> 01:11:06.319
Oh, Madonna, will be breathed.

1265
01:11:07.319 --> 01:11:11.319
And carry my voice in your thoughts. Now I must go,

1266
01:11:12.720 --> 01:11:17.439
and tomorrow, yes, tomorrow will be forever.

1267
01:11:19.399 --> 01:11:23.000
Goodbye, goodbye, Madonna.

1268
01:11:30.960 --> 01:11:34.039
I suppose I knew it then when I said there,

1269
01:11:36.000 --> 01:11:37.960
I only meant to go up on the rocks and

1270
01:11:38.079 --> 01:11:41.479
look out over the valley, to spend my last days

1271
01:11:41.680 --> 01:11:47.079
feasting my eyes, my precious eyes, and the wonderful, beautiful

1272
01:11:47.319 --> 01:11:52.000
world of light and color. But when I got there,

1273
01:11:52.079 --> 01:11:56.399
it was too beautiful, too lovely, This valley, this home

1274
01:11:56.479 --> 01:11:59.880
of the mountain gods, beautiful and forbid.

1275
01:12:01.399 --> 01:12:05.439
I drank it in the green of the fields, the

1276
01:12:05.600 --> 01:12:06.079
blue of.

1277
01:12:06.199 --> 01:12:10.000
The gently curving stream, the orange of the like, and

1278
01:12:10.119 --> 01:12:13.640
in the rocky crevices. I climbed higher to see the

1279
01:12:13.800 --> 01:12:16.920
great snow capped peaks towering above and away to the

1280
01:12:17.039 --> 01:12:21.319
distant sky, and still higher, as the shadows turned the

1281
01:12:21.439 --> 01:12:26.119
snow to purple and crimson and deep blue. The valley

1282
01:12:26.199 --> 01:12:29.880
now was far below, and as beautiful as a painting.

1283
01:12:31.920 --> 01:12:37.039
But like a painting, it seemed unreal. Medina Serote was

1284
01:12:37.159 --> 01:12:41.560
small and far away, a distant dream, and the world

1285
01:12:41.680 --> 01:12:48.359
of sight was here all around, overpowering, wonderful. I turned

1286
01:12:48.399 --> 01:12:56.159
and began to climb up that sheer rock wall. How

1287
01:12:56.239 --> 01:12:58.039
many months it took me to make my way out

1288
01:12:58.079 --> 01:13:02.560
over those mountains, over glare and snowfields and sheer precipices.

1289
01:13:03.199 --> 01:13:07.199
I cannot guess how I lived through the cold and

1290
01:13:07.439 --> 01:13:12.439
hunger of it. I cannot tell you, But I'm here

1291
01:13:12.600 --> 01:13:19.920
at last, back from the country of the blind. Good

1292
01:13:20.000 --> 01:13:29.439
heavens Man. What an experience, yes, terrible and wonderful, But

1293
01:13:30.640 --> 01:13:37.279
you aren't sorry. You came back sorry. I see her

1294
01:13:37.439 --> 01:13:42.039
face clearly now it is the only thing I see.

1295
01:13:43.960 --> 01:13:49.079
No nurs come, you need food? Here, take my hand,

1296
01:13:50.039 --> 01:13:55.319
thank you? Where is it senory barat.

1297
01:13:56.680 --> 01:13:57.119
Noness.

1298
01:13:57.720 --> 01:14:02.800
Yes, the yards of the mountain have had their revenge,

1299
01:14:04.680 --> 01:14:09.039
those months of crawling over the snow and ice with

1300
01:14:09.199 --> 01:14:16.720
the sun glaring down. Yes, I am blind.

1301
01:14:39.319 --> 01:14:43.159
Escape is produced and directed by William N. Robeson and

1302
01:14:43.279 --> 01:14:46.159
tonight presented the Country of the Blind by H. G. Wells,

1303
01:14:46.159 --> 01:14:50.000
adapted for radio by John Duncle, with Paul Freezers Nunez

1304
01:14:50.479 --> 01:14:55.479
Haggey Weber as Madinasaurote, Bill Conrad as Ibarra and Harry

1305
01:14:55.560 --> 01:14:59.399
Bartella's Corea. The special musical score was conceived and conducted

1306
01:14:59.439 --> 01:15:00.399
by Cy Fewer.

1307
01:15:03.560 --> 01:15:08.520
Next week, when you're tired from a hard day at

1308
01:15:08.560 --> 01:15:12.079
the office, or your back aches from bending over a

1309
01:15:12.159 --> 01:15:17.199
hot stove. Next week at the same time, and you

1310
01:15:17.239 --> 01:15:20.680
want to get away from it all, we offer you Escape.

1311
01:15:21.640 --> 01:15:24.359
This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.

1312
01:15:39.640 --> 01:15:45.520
My dear, my dear, you seem a bit peaked good.

1313
01:15:46.600 --> 01:15:49.800
That's the kind of thing you're hoping for, right, A

1314
01:15:49.920 --> 01:15:54.159
little chill to go with your spine.

1315
01:15:55.439 --> 01:15:55.840
Or what's that?

1316
01:15:57.000 --> 01:16:01.279
Well, I suppose you could accute who are evening of

1317
01:16:01.399 --> 01:16:08.800
having a lack of vision. And while the darkness can

1318
01:16:09.000 --> 01:16:16.560
be eerie, can be scary and lonely, the fact is

1319
01:16:17.359 --> 01:16:24.640
oftentimes seeing is not only believing, but is danger in

1320
01:16:24.800 --> 01:16:29.720
and of itself. And in those cases, you don't want

1321
01:16:29.760 --> 01:16:32.600
to find yourself an eye.

1322
01:16:32.840 --> 01:16:44.560
Witness suspense, and the producer of CBS Radio is outstanding

1323
01:16:44.680 --> 01:16:48.680
theater of thrills, the master of mystery and adventure, William

1324
01:16:48.720 --> 01:16:49.319
and Robeson.

1325
01:16:50.119 --> 01:16:52.319
What you're about to hear is more than the lurid

1326
01:16:52.399 --> 01:16:56.319
figments of this writer's imagination. It has happened in the

1327
01:16:56.359 --> 01:17:00.199
presence of Michigan and New Jersey, of Massachusetts and Colorado,

1328
01:17:00.760 --> 01:17:04.279
and most recently in the prisons of Montana and Tennessee,

1329
01:17:05.199 --> 01:17:09.479
when desperate men, oppressed beyond endurance, turn on their tormentors.

1330
01:17:10.159 --> 01:17:13.479
Not a prison break, not a prison riot, but a

1331
01:17:13.560 --> 01:17:19.800
prison mutiny. Listen, listen then, as John Lunn stars in Eyewitness,

1332
01:17:20.439 --> 01:17:22.600
which begins in just a moment, and.

1333
01:17:22.840 --> 01:17:31.000
Now Eyewitness starring mister John Lund, a tale well calculated.

1334
01:17:30.439 --> 01:17:46.359
To keep you in suspense. You got the assignment because

1335
01:17:46.399 --> 01:17:49.359
you've never been in jail, a fresh point of view,

1336
01:17:49.520 --> 01:17:52.239
and the state prison. The editor said, not an ext

1337
01:17:52.279 --> 01:17:56.319
per se, nothing sensational, just a Sunday feature story of

1338
01:17:56.399 --> 01:18:00.600
the average citizens' reaction to the stone walls and bars

1339
01:18:00.680 --> 01:18:04.239
of a big penitentiary. Oh, it's a depressing tour and

1340
01:18:04.359 --> 01:18:07.760
you've had enough, But the captain of the guard has

1341
01:18:07.920 --> 01:18:09.560
one more point of interest for you.

1342
01:18:10.119 --> 01:18:13.760
Is something you are to see before you go, mister Kelly, Yeah,

1343
01:18:13.880 --> 01:18:16.680
what's that? The old block, built more than a hundred

1344
01:18:16.760 --> 01:18:19.279
years ago, is where we keep the bad ones.

1345
01:18:19.640 --> 01:18:20.159
The bad one.

1346
01:18:20.279 --> 01:18:25.760
Yeah, in solitary, tough guys. The deviates softens them up fast,

1347
01:18:26.359 --> 01:18:26.880
most of them.

1348
01:18:27.640 --> 01:18:30.399
You're stop in front of the heavy steel door, but

1349
01:18:30.560 --> 01:18:34.880
no guard peers through the bulletproof glass. People, the door

1350
01:18:35.000 --> 01:18:37.439
is not instantly unlocked, as the others have been.

1351
01:18:38.439 --> 01:18:44.279
Funny, should be a man on the door at all times. Oh, here,

1352
01:18:46.520 --> 01:18:48.119
go ahead on in, missus Kelly.

1353
01:18:49.239 --> 01:18:53.199
You walk in, the door clangs behind you, and then

1354
01:18:53.279 --> 01:18:55.560
you feel something sharp. All right, your gosh, stay where

1355
01:18:55.560 --> 01:18:55.760
you are?

1356
01:18:55.960 --> 01:18:56.760
Hey, what is this?

1357
01:18:57.640 --> 01:18:59.760
Make one more wolf? I'll drive this ship spray through

1358
01:18:59.800 --> 01:19:04.880
your let's them go. Yeah, here's a sapislode. Here's his

1359
01:19:05.000 --> 01:19:07.199
gun hold. We can use him. This one's clean. He's

1360
01:19:07.199 --> 01:19:09.680
an outside you can't get away with this we can

1361
01:19:10.640 --> 01:19:14.760
we have. I'm happy to report Captain Wolf, but the

1362
01:19:14.840 --> 01:19:17.800
old cell block is completely in control of us. Thirty

1363
01:19:17.840 --> 01:19:18.439

1433
01:23:12.720 --> 01:23:17.560

01:28:27.079 --> 01:28:29.800
speaking set a stretch of Warden. Maguire will be ready

1531
01:28:29.840 --> 01:28:30.880
for you in five minutes.

1532
01:28:30.920 --> 01:28:34.520
Here's your answer. Hey, somebody turned on the night.

1533
01:28:35.239 --> 01:28:36.159
That's the way he wants it.

1534
01:28:39.520 --> 01:28:40.560
What word do you want to use?

1535
01:28:40.720 --> 01:28:45.319
Pandemonium, chaos, anarchy. They all fit while the screaming guard

1536
01:28:45.439 --> 01:28:46.840
is beaten into one consciousness.

1537
01:28:46.880 --> 01:28:49.880
The roaring men break apart the wooden furniture, dump.

1538
01:28:49.720 --> 01:28:52.479
The cots over the balconies, rip open the mattresses, and

1539
01:28:52.520 --> 01:28:54.399
build a fire in the middle of the cell box.

1540
01:28:55.399 --> 01:28:58.199
And the last of the guard dumped into the yard

1541
01:28:58.279 --> 01:29:04.319
and carry it away. Anger subsided into sullen silence. Four

1542
01:29:04.479 --> 01:29:10.199
more hours dragged by, and at last Conrad's next deadline arrives, ready.

1543
01:29:10.039 --> 01:29:10.600
To give it one.

1544
01:29:11.560 --> 01:29:15.600
Thirsty Ellen, what do you mean you will be frum me?

1545
01:29:16.920 --> 01:29:17.359
Hell it be?

1546
01:29:17.720 --> 01:29:17.920
Yeah?

1547
01:29:18.960 --> 01:29:20.239
Hard on the water to tap it yourself?

1548
01:29:20.640 --> 01:29:21.119
Turn it on?

1549
01:29:22.880 --> 01:29:24.079
Just a trickle that stopped?

1550
01:29:24.159 --> 01:29:27.439
Uh huh figures, Hey, Conrad, something's going on outside?

1551
01:29:27.479 --> 01:29:27.840
What is it?

1552
01:29:28.000 --> 01:29:28.119
Oh?

1553
01:29:28.159 --> 01:29:30.159
I can't tell it sounds like digging out and back.

1554
01:29:30.239 --> 01:29:32.319
I just say you can we hang on all lights

1555
01:29:32.520 --> 01:29:33.720
I'm got the yard lights are out.

1556
01:29:33.800 --> 01:29:35.960
Time to throw them another bone? How much one is time?

1557
01:29:36.000 --> 01:29:37.039
How about the greenhorn kid?

1558
01:29:37.159 --> 01:29:37.880
Hey, he's the one to.

1559
01:29:37.880 --> 01:29:41.359
Let me out. He's a guard, isn't he Gotta work

1560
01:29:41.399 --> 01:29:52.680
on him? So the greenhorn kid gets his and his

1561
01:29:52.800 --> 01:29:55.720
dumped into the yard and they're sitting away from the

1562
01:29:55.800 --> 01:29:59.479
back room until gray light spreads over the gray walls

1563
01:29:59.520 --> 01:30:02.520
and through the tiny windows, turning the blackness of the

1564
01:30:02.600 --> 01:30:05.640
block into a light of black and the last it's

1565
01:30:05.720 --> 01:30:08.800
eight o'clock in the morning. Okay, boys, this is our deadline.

1566
01:30:09.239 --> 01:30:15.960
Wait on job, there we go?

1567
01:30:16.479 --> 01:30:16.720
What that?

1568
01:30:17.279 --> 01:30:17.720
Somebody come?

1569
01:30:18.399 --> 01:30:19.560
Kid? They come off the phone.

1570
01:30:19.640 --> 01:30:20.359
She's right.

1571
01:30:20.439 --> 01:30:22.479
We got no lights, no water, no code.

1572
01:30:22.520 --> 01:30:23.199
What are we gonna do?

1573
01:30:23.520 --> 01:30:25.000
Boys? I got an exercise?

1574
01:30:25.399 --> 01:30:28.199
They don't. Yeah, they a lot of get on to

1575
01:30:28.319 --> 01:30:32.159
me boys with a lot of It's gonna be different.

1576
01:30:32.199 --> 01:30:35.880
Everybody got that because everybody's got on finished business.

1577
01:30:35.920 --> 01:30:37.159
But the dubbers that light.

1578
01:30:51.319 --> 01:30:54.399
Good old uh I got the idea he might quit

1579
01:30:54.479 --> 01:30:58.600
his job after he was able to walk again. Yeah, Conrad, I.

1580
01:30:58.960 --> 01:30:59.720
Just thought of something.

1581
01:31:01.159 --> 01:31:02.279
What are we gonna do next?

1582
01:31:02.600 --> 01:31:02.920
Nothing?

1583
01:31:03.880 --> 01:31:04.399
Their move?

1584
01:31:04.960 --> 01:31:08.159
Yeah, we ain't got any more guards to beat up,

1585
01:31:08.439 --> 01:31:14.600
that's right, but we still got mister killing. Your heart

1586
01:31:14.640 --> 01:31:18.479
stops beating for a long instant because the wild, bloodshot

1587
01:31:18.560 --> 01:31:22.840
eyes of thirty two desperate men center on you. You

1588
01:31:22.880 --> 01:31:25.119
don't know how long you sit there across the table

1589
01:31:25.199 --> 01:31:31.239
from Conrad. Time has stopped. You wait, Conrad waits. The

1590
01:31:31.359 --> 01:31:34.680
men wait in silent little groups. You wait for the

1591
01:31:34.760 --> 01:31:38.640
next move. The wardens move, and at last it comes.

1592
01:31:41.880 --> 01:31:42.159
What's that?

1593
01:31:42.479 --> 01:31:44.880
They just pull a loud speaker truck into the yard where.

1594
01:31:45.680 --> 01:31:48.000
Oh yeah, I'll bring out the window.

1595
01:31:49.479 --> 01:31:49.880
Yeah what?

1596
01:31:50.159 --> 01:31:51.760
And I hear you talk.

1597
01:31:53.119 --> 01:31:54.640
I'm doing the talking for the guys.

1598
01:31:55.560 --> 01:31:56.520
All of you men.

1599
01:31:58.640 --> 01:32:03.159
Remaining with the counter. We are in agreement. We will

1600
01:32:03.319 --> 01:32:07.159
not be a party of estate the bully.

1601
01:32:07.319 --> 01:32:10.800
I'm a man who have given the rights of foods,

1602
01:32:11.159 --> 01:32:13.439
think a simple lord, and you're turning us down.

1603
01:32:14.279 --> 01:32:18.279
I'm willing to discuss your agreements, and will you, but

1604
01:32:18.560 --> 01:32:19.279
I will not.

1605
01:32:19.560 --> 01:32:21.319
Be bought to give you your man.

1606
01:32:21.720 --> 01:32:24.359
That's final, a man.

1607
01:32:24.720 --> 01:32:29.439
I heard yousently, and we'll see what can be done

1608
01:32:29.520 --> 01:32:29.800
by you.

1609
01:32:29.960 --> 01:32:32.640
That's a lot for nothing on and we'll sit tight.

1610
01:32:32.520 --> 01:32:34.039
And don't listen to Alan.

1611
01:32:34.800 --> 01:32:37.119
He must be crazy to keep you there.

1612
01:32:37.359 --> 01:32:39.279
And he is keeping you there.

1613
01:32:39.800 --> 01:32:40.520
You listen to me.

1614
01:32:42.079 --> 01:32:43.960
I've got your life.

1615
01:32:44.399 --> 01:32:46.319
Your water, your food.

1616
01:32:47.840 --> 01:32:49.560
I ain't gonna let you lie in there.

1617
01:32:51.079 --> 01:32:52.239
I don't want to know that man.

1618
01:32:52.840 --> 01:32:55.439
Come on, fasally, I got blow it.

1619
01:32:57.319 --> 01:32:59.760
All right, I will.

1620
01:33:01.560 --> 01:33:01.600
I.

1621
01:33:02.319 --> 01:33:07.560
I haven't eaten nine exactly nine three, I will blow

1622
01:33:07.800 --> 01:33:08.279
the supper.

1623
01:33:09.079 --> 01:33:09.840
You're bluffing.

1624
01:33:15.279 --> 01:33:17.159
Hey, Conrad, do you remember I said I heard noises

1625
01:33:17.199 --> 01:33:18.000
out there doing a night.

1626
01:33:18.119 --> 01:33:21.239
Yeah, listen to me.

1627
01:33:22.479 --> 01:33:23.199
You've got.

1628
01:33:24.640 --> 01:33:25.439
For your mind.

1629
01:33:25.840 --> 01:33:27.239
You're forgetting something, warn't.

1630
01:33:28.439 --> 01:33:31.800
I still got the newspaper reporter in here, mister Kelly.

1631
01:33:33.319 --> 01:33:34.760
I'll be responsible for him.

1632
01:33:35.760 --> 01:33:37.199
I got out of my guards out.

1633
01:33:39.079 --> 01:33:40.920
I won't find any further.

1634
01:33:42.439 --> 01:33:44.760
It's just a little more than twelve minutes.

1635
01:33:48.720 --> 01:33:52.640
Well, Kelly, looks like you aren't as valuable as I

1636
01:33:52.720 --> 01:33:56.600
thought you would be. Yeah, I'm sorry about that reck.

1637
01:33:57.000 --> 01:33:59.840
We gotta give in, give in and lose everything. You

1638
01:34:00.199 --> 01:34:02.359
realize that in this state they can give us all

1639
01:34:02.479 --> 01:34:05.600
life of what we've done. He had ready to get

1640
01:34:05.640 --> 01:34:07.399
blown up and spend the rest of my life in

1641
01:34:07.479 --> 01:34:11.119
this hole. No, please, you gotta get this. That's all

1642
01:34:11.199 --> 01:34:13.000
your fault, you a little you mean.

1643
01:34:12.920 --> 01:34:13.319
My fault.

1644
01:34:13.399 --> 01:34:15.960
If you hadn't count that greenhorn God yesterday, just because

1645
01:34:15.960 --> 01:34:17.680
you wanted to make up the Conrad, we wouldn't be

1646
01:34:17.720 --> 01:34:19.319
on this fake lay off the kid, you a little

1647
01:34:19.359 --> 01:34:21.039
turk lay after kids.

1648
01:34:27.840 --> 01:34:31.199
A lot of mistakes, Conrad, it's this one too many.

1649
01:34:32.279 --> 01:34:35.359
They had a ball under us around Farmers, and I

1650
01:34:35.479 --> 01:34:37.880
said nasal, mind us out of here? Where your cut us?

1651
01:34:38.600 --> 01:34:39.640
Five minutes from Kingdom?

1652
01:34:39.680 --> 01:34:42.159
Connor Wharden's only bluff and he wouldn't there blow us up.

1653
01:34:42.199 --> 01:34:44.079
I'll get this all out of it all time. I'm

1654
01:34:44.119 --> 01:34:46.199
not waiting five minutes and find out of his bluff.

1655
01:34:47.039 --> 01:34:49.239
I said you made a lot of mistakes and the

1656
01:34:49.279 --> 01:34:50.439
biggest one was passed off.

1657
01:34:50.359 --> 01:34:53.239
The god cons remember no, no, and where you are

1658
01:34:53.279 --> 01:34:54.079
around taking over?

1659
01:34:54.199 --> 01:34:54.319
Now?

1660
01:34:54.479 --> 01:34:56.680
I am o god you was thinking.

1661
01:35:03.880 --> 01:35:10.359
Five minutes boys, I'm going on. Anybody joining me.

1662
01:35:21.840 --> 01:35:21.960
Now?

1663
01:35:22.319 --> 01:35:25.720
Mister Kelly, I feel that I must apologize to you

1664
01:35:25.880 --> 01:35:30.680
for the inconvenience and the discomfort you've suffered. That Warden

1665
01:35:30.840 --> 01:35:32.560
is the understatement.

1666
01:35:32.000 --> 01:35:32.399
Of the year.

1667
01:35:34.479 --> 01:35:36.800
Of course you clear any stories you write about this

1668
01:35:36.920 --> 01:35:37.920
situation through me.

1669
01:35:39.319 --> 01:35:39.800
I doubt it.

1670
01:35:41.520 --> 01:35:44.760
We can't admit what he had. I'm going to report

1671
01:35:44.800 --> 01:35:47.319
it just as it happened when I get through.

1672
01:35:48.319 --> 01:35:49.119
I don't think that J.

1673
01:35:49.359 --> 01:35:53.399
Conrad Allen is spelled with one L, mixed up and twisted.

1674
01:35:53.479 --> 01:35:57.159
Though his values may have been well, I don't think

1675
01:35:57.239 --> 01:35:58.640
he'll have died in vain.

1676
01:36:10.680 --> 01:36:16.199
Srus Spence, in which John Lunn starred in Eye Witness, written,

1677
01:36:16.399 --> 01:36:21.159
produced and directed by William N. Robeson supporting John Lundon

1678
01:36:21.199 --> 01:36:25.359
to Night's Story where Jodasantus, Barney Phillips, Normalden, Sam Pierce,

1679
01:36:25.479 --> 01:36:27.279
Lou Krugman, and Lawrence Dobkin.

1680
01:36:28.199 --> 01:36:28.520
Listen.

1681
01:36:29.560 --> 01:36:33.159
Listen again next week when we return with Vincent Price

1682
01:36:33.279 --> 01:36:38.479
starring in occurrence at owl Creek Bridge, another tale well

1683
01:36:38.640 --> 01:36:42.000
calculated to keep you in suspense.

1684
01:36:47.239 --> 01:36:54.960
My dear, the evening is it's running its course. Unfortunately,

1685
01:36:55.720 --> 01:36:58.079
there's very little you can do when it comes to

1686
01:36:58.239 --> 01:37:03.479
the tyranny of the light. It always seems to win,

1687
01:37:04.039 --> 01:37:09.760
no matter how fair a fight it's in. But I

1688
01:37:09.880 --> 01:37:15.560
think we have time for one more, something to titillate

1689
01:37:15.760 --> 01:37:21.800
the mind's eye. I have always enjoyed that phrase, mind's eye,

1690
01:37:22.680 --> 01:37:27.479
although if I had a choice, I suppose I would

1691
01:37:27.600 --> 01:37:31.920
prefer seeing with my own eyes.

1692
01:37:49.000 --> 01:37:53.479
I am, and I know many things before I walk

1693
01:37:53.600 --> 01:37:57.439
by night. I know many strange tapes hidden in the

1694
01:37:57.520 --> 01:38:01.199
hearts of men and women we stepped into the shady.

1695
01:38:02.319 --> 01:38:06.279
I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak,

1696
01:38:10.640 --> 01:38:15.239
and all whistler and a strange story with my own eye.

1697
01:38:16.199 --> 01:38:24.079
Although it was asked.

1698
01:38:23.880 --> 01:38:28.000
For, the Florida sun was hot and blood and Christine

1699
01:38:28.039 --> 01:38:30.560
wished for the twentieth time. She hadn't left her dark

1700
01:38:30.640 --> 01:38:34.079
glasses back at the hotel. She wished too, that she

1701
01:38:34.199 --> 01:38:37.319
weren't so tired of hockey that the New York doctor

1702
01:38:37.359 --> 01:38:40.039
who had prescribed a rest for her had had sense

1703
01:38:40.159 --> 01:38:42.560
enough not to recommend Florida at the height of the

1704
01:38:42.600 --> 01:38:46.920
winter season. And she wished fervently that somewhere in Crescent

1705
01:38:47.079 --> 01:38:50.359
Bay she'd find a place to live something less than

1706
01:38:50.399 --> 01:38:53.920
twenty dollars a day. It was the fund see, more

1707
01:38:54.000 --> 01:38:56.319
than anything else, that made her stop before the big

1708
01:38:56.439 --> 01:38:59.800
house with the tall white wall around, looked down the

1709
01:38:59.840 --> 01:39:02.720
walk to the door, decided to give it a try.

1710
01:39:03.720 --> 01:39:07.079
It was a big house. It must be extra rooms.

1711
01:39:07.800 --> 01:39:09.479
And they couldn't do more than say no.

1712
01:39:10.920 --> 01:39:14.319
Yes, well, I'm sorry to bother you, but I was.

1713
01:39:14.359 --> 01:39:15.279
Hoping you could help me.

1714
01:39:16.159 --> 01:39:18.880
You see, my doctor's ordered to give my health. I

1715
01:39:19.039 --> 01:39:22.520
arrived before. Yes, I what did you say?

1716
01:39:22.680 --> 01:39:22.920
Come in?

1717
01:39:23.720 --> 01:39:23.920
Oh?

1718
01:39:24.680 --> 01:39:25.000
Thank you?

1719
01:39:27.640 --> 01:39:31.319
This way of My name is Christine k I'm saying

1720
01:39:31.319 --> 01:39:33.800
at the hotel now that I really can't afford to

1721
01:39:33.840 --> 01:39:39.359
stay there anymore. I didn't see that chairs, so right

1722
01:39:39.479 --> 01:39:42.720
outside stop. Oh never mind that, Come over here and

1723
01:39:42.800 --> 01:39:43.159
sit down.

1724
01:39:43.640 --> 01:39:43.960
Thank you?

1725
01:39:46.680 --> 01:39:50.800
Now, have you decided where you want to stay. Decided

1726
01:39:51.000 --> 01:39:52.640
because this is an older house.

1727
01:39:52.720 --> 01:39:54.239
But I think you'll be comforted.

1728
01:39:54.279 --> 01:39:54.560
Book.

1729
01:39:54.760 --> 01:39:56.560
I could let you have that room at the top

1730
01:39:56.640 --> 01:39:57.239
of the stairs.

1731
01:39:57.319 --> 01:40:00.199
It had its own private bag that I am an

1732
01:40:00.279 --> 01:40:02.520
acre or so of garden inside the wall, in the

1733
01:40:02.600 --> 01:40:03.279
summer house.

1734
01:40:03.680 --> 01:40:05.199
I'm sure you'll be happy here.

1735
01:40:05.359 --> 01:40:05.800
Wait a minute.

1736
01:40:05.840 --> 01:40:06.800
You mean I can have the.

1737
01:40:06.880 --> 01:40:08.560
Room, but I want you to take it.

1738
01:40:09.479 --> 01:40:11.560
I'm I'm a little lonely here.

1739
01:40:12.279 --> 01:40:14.520
Well, i'd like to have someone around.

1740
01:40:15.840 --> 01:40:19.880
What about the rent? Who would ten dollars be too much?

1741
01:40:20.920 --> 01:40:22.399
Ten dollars a week.

1742
01:40:22.359 --> 01:40:24.560
Book, Let's make it seven point fifty.

1743
01:40:25.279 --> 01:40:25.960
Is that all right?

1744
01:40:26.279 --> 01:40:27.239
It's wonderful.

1745
01:40:27.720 --> 01:40:29.199
You'll take the room there.

1746
01:40:29.319 --> 01:40:31.640
Of course, you don't know what this means to me.

1747
01:40:31.760 --> 01:40:36.600
This is Drake, Miss is Henry Drake. Go here now.

1748
01:40:37.079 --> 01:40:40.560
I wanted a movie and right away tonight. Here's the key,

1749
01:40:40.920 --> 01:40:41.840
and I'll write.

1750
01:40:41.640 --> 01:40:43.239
Down the address so you'll be sure to.

1751
01:40:43.279 --> 01:40:45.640
Find the house again. Now let's see.

1752
01:40:45.920 --> 01:40:47.720
Oh, oh, here's a piece of paper.

1753
01:40:50.560 --> 01:40:52.840
Twelve twenty Biscay roads.

1754
01:40:53.680 --> 01:40:54.880
There there you are.

1755
01:40:55.239 --> 01:40:58.039
Thank you, listen to thank you so much. Now now

1756
01:40:58.079 --> 01:40:59.560
you run along and get your kings.

1757
01:41:00.920 --> 01:41:02.079
When can you come back?

1758
01:41:02.439 --> 01:41:03.479
Well, I've an.

1759
01:41:03.399 --> 01:41:04.800
Authorized doing time.

1760
01:41:04.840 --> 01:41:06.680
I maybe mean, well, you can let you out in

1761
01:41:06.800 --> 01:41:07.199
with your.

1762
01:41:07.119 --> 01:41:09.039
Key and go right up to your room on the

1763
01:41:09.119 --> 01:41:09.600
left at the.

1764
01:41:09.600 --> 01:41:10.399
Head of the stairs.

1765
01:41:11.920 --> 01:41:15.520
But you will be here tonight.

1766
01:41:15.720 --> 01:41:18.239
Of course, Missus Drake, I'll be here tonight.

1767
01:41:29.359 --> 01:41:32.520
It is after eleven when you return fifteen, and you're

1768
01:41:32.560 --> 01:41:34.960
dead tired. As you let yourself in the front door

1769
01:41:35.039 --> 01:41:38.439
and walk up the stairs to your room, you're glad

1770
01:41:38.479 --> 01:41:41.600
the family there is one of the sleep there. There'll

1771
01:41:41.640 --> 01:41:44.720
be no introductions and a light conversation to keep you

1772
01:41:44.760 --> 01:41:49.039
from there. And it's a lovely ben a lovely room,

1773
01:41:49.960 --> 01:41:53.600
much nicer than anything you need to say. As you undress,

1774
01:41:53.640 --> 01:41:55.760
you make a mental note to remember Missus Drake and

1775
01:41:55.840 --> 01:42:00.760
your prayers tomorrow night when you're not so tired. Ten

1776
01:42:00.880 --> 01:42:12.039
minutes later, you're asleep, but at a peculiar sleep blackness

1777
01:42:12.119 --> 01:42:16.199
at first complete rest, and then later something it seems

1778
01:42:16.239 --> 01:42:20.960
to intrude, something annoying, almost frightening. And then suddenly you're

1779
01:42:20.960 --> 01:42:30.560
find yourself sitting both upright in bed listening for some reason.

1780
01:42:30.600 --> 01:42:32.720
You're trembling. As you get out of bed, walk to

1781
01:42:32.840 --> 01:42:38.560
the door and opened the crack. A man passes the

1782
01:42:38.640 --> 01:42:40.760
door of your room post enough for you to see

1783
01:42:40.800 --> 01:42:44.920
what he's carrying. It's the body of missus Drake, with

1784
01:42:45.079 --> 01:42:48.720
a scarf she was wearing this afternoon, tightly knotted around

1785
01:42:48.720 --> 01:42:55.439
her neck. You know now what she meant, don't you, Christine,

1786
01:42:56.039 --> 01:42:58.520
When she told you she'd feel better with someone else

1787
01:42:58.600 --> 01:43:02.039
in the house. She was afraid this man was going

1788
01:43:02.119 --> 01:43:08.000
to kill it. You can hear his footsteps on the

1789
01:43:08.039 --> 01:43:12.000
boardwalk outside in the garden. Rather they take a chance

1790
01:43:12.079 --> 01:43:15.159
on facing him somewhere down there in the darkness, you

1791
01:43:15.279 --> 01:43:17.800
decide to lock yourself in your room and wait until morning.

1792
01:43:18.920 --> 01:43:21.800
You turn the key in the lock. A few minutes later,

1793
01:43:21.880 --> 01:43:25.159
you'll hear his steps on the boardwalk again, coming back

1794
01:43:25.239 --> 01:43:33.520
to the house. There's no more sleep, of course, nothing

1795
01:43:33.560 --> 01:43:37.319
but a kind of paralysis. Five e turned hours before

1796
01:43:37.359 --> 01:43:41.199
it's light. You watch me eat seven o'clock. He doesn't

1797
01:43:41.239 --> 01:43:44.119
know you're here, Christy, and he mustn't know until you've

1798
01:43:44.119 --> 01:43:48.359
had a chance to see the police last. You brace yourself,

1799
01:43:49.399 --> 01:44:00.079
open the door and walk softly to the stairway. What

1800
01:44:01.479 --> 01:44:04.640
did I fight you? Well, I'm sorry, but you see

1801
01:44:05.119 --> 01:44:07.399
you frightened me too. Why did know why I had

1802
01:44:07.439 --> 01:44:07.920
a visitor?

1803
01:44:08.560 --> 01:44:10.399
Why would I to.

1804
01:44:10.479 --> 01:44:12.119
Leave without disturbing with him.

1805
01:44:12.800 --> 01:44:16.119
Missus Drake, I can figure morning walk down to the beach.

1806
01:44:16.239 --> 01:44:19.439
Did you say, Missus Drake, why yes?

1807
01:44:20.560 --> 01:44:21.199
Didn't she tell you?

1808
01:44:21.800 --> 01:44:24.680
Tell me what she rendered me? The room at the

1809
01:44:24.720 --> 01:44:26.399
head of the stairs yesterday up to me?

1810
01:44:28.079 --> 01:44:30.000
No, no, he didn't tell me that.

1811
01:44:31.000 --> 01:44:31.159
Wait.

1812
01:44:31.239 --> 01:44:32.119
Why did you come here?

1813
01:44:33.119 --> 01:44:33.319
Why?

1814
01:44:33.520 --> 01:44:33.680
Right?

1815
01:44:34.239 --> 01:44:35.000
I was late?

1816
01:44:35.439 --> 01:44:35.880
What time?

1817
01:44:36.800 --> 01:44:37.279
I don't know?

1818
01:44:37.600 --> 01:44:38.520
Tell me what time?

1819
01:44:39.560 --> 01:44:42.039
I think about eleven? Oh?

1820
01:44:43.399 --> 01:44:49.319
I see, if you don't mind? And why did you

1821
01:44:49.439 --> 01:44:50.800
come to this house?

1822
01:44:51.439 --> 01:44:51.640
Well?

1823
01:44:51.680 --> 01:44:55.800
I in the Florida for my hel what's wrong with you?

1824
01:44:58.359 --> 01:45:01.239
Did you? Did you sleep well last night?

1825
01:45:01.760 --> 01:45:02.359
Fairly well?

1826
01:45:02.520 --> 01:45:02.720
Good?

1827
01:45:02.840 --> 01:45:08.279
Good? There's nothing like sleep. Pretty some nerves now, if

1828
01:45:08.319 --> 01:45:11.279
you don't mind, I don't let these issues of breakfast?

1829
01:45:11.319 --> 01:45:11.760
What about it?

1830
01:45:11.960 --> 01:45:12.680
I think I had better go?

1831
01:45:13.319 --> 01:45:16.000
Was going off without breakfast to pick up of coffee clean?

1832
01:45:16.159 --> 01:45:18.479
I won't take no for an answer. I insist on.

1833
01:45:20.439 --> 01:45:24.800
Why are you looking at me like that? You don't

1834
01:45:24.840 --> 01:45:25.800
intend to let me go?

1835
01:45:26.039 --> 01:45:26.279
Do you.

1836
01:45:27.880 --> 01:45:30.119
Don't be silly? I don't want bluffing any longer.

1837
01:45:32.399 --> 01:45:34.439
Why don't you have Missus Drake.

1838
01:45:34.319 --> 01:45:40.319
Picks yes, yes, I suppose I shouldn't bluff any longer.

1839
01:45:41.199 --> 01:45:43.359
You're in a pretty bad way. Young lady. You see,

1840
01:45:43.439 --> 01:45:46.079
that's why I asked you about your illness. Nerves do

1841
01:45:46.239 --> 01:45:48.399
funny things. What do you mean my wife isn't here.

1842
01:45:48.520 --> 01:45:50.600
She's been on fortlock the day for a week. I'm

1843
01:45:50.640 --> 01:45:52.560
at a loss as to how you got them. Where

1844
01:45:52.640 --> 01:45:54.560
you got the amazing idea that you right too?

1845
01:45:54.680 --> 01:45:55.079
Room? Do you?

1846
01:45:57.119 --> 01:46:01.239
I saw you last night walking down the hall carry

1847
01:46:01.279 --> 01:46:02.720
nobody in your arms with the scarf.

1848
01:46:04.279 --> 01:46:06.359
You do need to rest? Don't you? A black man

1849
01:46:06.479 --> 01:46:06.680
like that?

1850
01:46:06.880 --> 01:46:08.000
To tell me for the nightmare?

1851
01:46:08.000 --> 01:46:11.439
I saw it in my own Let you go, I said,

1852
01:46:11.479 --> 01:46:13.680
of course, I let you goes. As a matter of fact,

1853
01:46:13.760 --> 01:46:18.920
I want you to go. Well, how do you think

1854
01:46:18.960 --> 01:46:20.600
it looks for a man to have a pretty girl

1855
01:46:20.680 --> 01:46:22.840
in the house with his way out of town? I've

1856
01:46:22.840 --> 01:46:25.279
got a reputation, you know. Now you run upstairs and

1857
01:46:25.319 --> 01:46:28.319
get your things. If you insist on leaving with a breakfast,

1858
01:46:28.359 --> 01:46:30.640
I'm afraid I can't drive you where your government to

1859
01:46:30.720 --> 01:46:35.039
call a taxi. And the word of advice, my dear,

1860
01:46:37.199 --> 01:46:42.439
take care of yourself, will you? You do need to rest?

1861
01:46:49.439 --> 01:46:55.279
Oh on?

1862
01:46:55.960 --> 01:46:59.359
And this man, this murderer at the coloquial, I'll tell

1863
01:46:59.359 --> 01:47:02.760
you that you wouldn't. He's got you down to the taxi.

1864
01:47:03.079 --> 01:47:06.119
He helps the driver with your luggage. Then he waves

1865
01:47:06.199 --> 01:47:11.720
to Gott He asked, ma'am, I want you to take

1866
01:47:11.760 --> 01:47:18.800
me to police headquarters. It all takes, doesn't it. Chris

1867
01:47:19.359 --> 01:47:21.960
isn't when she rented you the room yesterday was fear.

1868
01:47:22.640 --> 01:47:25.319
He knew this man was going to kill her. But

1869
01:47:25.439 --> 01:47:28.039
it's tragic that she didn't know how soon it would happen.

1870
01:47:29.199 --> 01:47:31.279
You know exactly what you're going to say when you

1871
01:47:31.319 --> 01:47:34.760
get the police headquarters. An hour later. You're talking to

1872
01:47:34.840 --> 01:47:35.319
the desk.

1873
01:47:35.199 --> 01:47:37.880
Side in the morning, did a noise awakened me? I

1874
01:47:37.960 --> 01:47:40.159
went to the door, opened it just in time to

1875
01:47:40.199 --> 01:47:43.720
see him or perhaps carrying the body of this woman,

1876
01:47:44.159 --> 01:47:44.560
his wife.

1877
01:47:44.600 --> 01:47:48.960
I think she was straggling with a scar. Twelve twenty

1878
01:47:49.039 --> 01:47:53.479
the sky road was there? Twelve twenty Biscay Road.

1879
01:47:54.479 --> 01:47:56.680
Wait a minute, lady, you might have that wrong. What

1880
01:47:56.880 --> 01:47:57.640
was the woman's name?

1881
01:47:57.960 --> 01:47:58.880
This is Henry Drake.

1882
01:47:59.239 --> 01:48:01.279
Do you know what you say? I made it clean enough.

1883
01:48:01.319 --> 01:48:01.920
He's a murderer.

1884
01:48:01.960 --> 01:48:02.920
I want you to arrect it.

1885
01:48:03.000 --> 01:48:03.520
Wait a minute.

1886
01:48:03.640 --> 01:48:05.680
I'm tired of waiting. I waited outside for I have

1887
01:48:05.760 --> 01:48:07.680
an hour to get in here. Take me to the

1888
01:48:07.800 --> 01:48:09.680
chief of Believer whoever your superior is.

1889
01:48:10.680 --> 01:48:13.039
I'll do better than that, lady, will I'll take him

1890
01:48:13.079 --> 01:48:21.680
to seek the commissioner. Come on here, we all go ahead.

1891
01:48:22.600 --> 01:48:26.880
Good morning, Commissioner, Good morning Joe. What's the matter of

1892
01:48:26.960 --> 01:48:32.479
young lady? Still troubled with nerves? There's no point in

1893
01:48:32.600 --> 01:48:33.439
my stay.

1894
01:48:34.680 --> 01:48:36.239
At all, Joe.

1895
01:48:36.399 --> 01:48:40.359
Yes, my name is Henry Craig, young lady, I'm a

1896
01:48:40.399 --> 01:48:43.880
police commisionaire here at present day. Commissioner. She was telling

1897
01:48:43.960 --> 01:48:46.920
me some yarn. Yes, yes, I know, Joe. He told

1898
01:48:46.960 --> 01:48:49.239
it to me about an hour ago. It wasn't a yarn.

1899
01:48:49.319 --> 01:48:53.520
It was the truth, and you know it. You'll excuse me.

1900
01:48:53.560 --> 01:48:55.479
I'll find someone who will do something about it. As

1901
01:48:55.479 --> 01:48:57.840
a minute now, I've tried to be lean it with

1902
01:48:57.920 --> 01:49:00.880
you because I know you're not well. I want convince you, however,

1903
01:49:01.000 --> 01:49:04.159
that you are making a very serious time. I'm quite

1904
01:49:04.199 --> 01:49:07.800
aware of that very well, Joe Little calling Chief of

1905
01:49:07.840 --> 01:49:11.039
Police Nord and the Captain Evan supomicide. If this lady

1906
01:49:11.119 --> 01:49:13.479
is going to tell her story, I think you should

1907
01:49:13.479 --> 01:49:26.239
tell it to the proper people. That's all I have

1908
01:49:26.359 --> 01:49:29.560
to say, Miss McCain, that's all I know. You can

1909
01:49:29.680 --> 01:49:33.640
understand my embarrassment gentlemen, where's she got that keep my

1910
01:49:33.720 --> 01:49:36.600
house is a possible, of course. I think it's a

1911
01:49:36.600 --> 01:49:38.399
lot of the fact that she admits so she came

1912
01:49:38.439 --> 01:49:41.600
here for her health, and ners might account for her

1913
01:49:41.720 --> 01:49:45.159
strange dream and the imaginary woman limited her the room.

1914
01:49:46.119 --> 01:49:47.760
I saw it with my own eyes just.

1915
01:49:47.840 --> 01:49:53.600
A moment, Tishioner, Yes, Chief, where is your Fort Lauderdale?

1916
01:49:53.640 --> 01:49:55.439
Of course you know I sent her there a week ago.

1917
01:49:55.680 --> 01:49:57.520
It didn't part of what I talked to her yesterday.

1918
01:49:59.000 --> 01:50:01.880
I tell you you what about that commission? All right

1919
01:50:01.960 --> 01:50:06.000
with Send a wire please to the manager of the

1920
01:50:06.079 --> 01:50:10.920

1923
01:50:23.760 --> 01:50:27.680
Miss McCain, I think she'll right send it out, Miss Dixon.

1924
01:50:27.960 --> 01:50:29.079
We'll wait here for an answer.

1925

1926
01:50:54.000 --> 01:51:01.439
Mm hmmm, here you are, Miss Maquet. I suppose you

1927
01:51:01.560 --> 01:51:01.800

Missus Henry Drake has been I'll get since it's sixteen

1929
01:51:10.479 --> 01:51:15.800
sitting in lobby this moment, green Well, I guess that

1930
01:51:16.000 --> 01:51:18.159
order to settle with doesn't settle anything.

1931
01:51:18.199 --> 01:51:19.960
It only means some woman is saying at that hotel,

1932
01:51:20.039 --> 01:51:20.640
pausing at.

1933
01:51:20.560 --> 01:51:24.920
Missus Drake, what now, Chief, he's pretty resistant?

1934
01:51:26.000 --> 01:51:27.199
How far its porting on a deal?

1935
01:51:27.319 --> 01:51:28.960
A couple of hours? Do you know, mister Drake?

1936
01:51:29.000 --> 01:51:29.399
If you matter?

1937
01:51:29.840 --> 01:51:30.880
Of course I know it.

1938
01:51:31.039 --> 01:51:32.199
But let's go down there right now.

1939
01:51:32.640 --> 01:51:34.800
I'll prove you that this woman at port alda Dale

1940
01:51:34.800 --> 01:51:35.439
isn't the pact.

1941
01:51:35.920 --> 01:51:38.560
Commissioner. I don't know how you feel about all. This

1942
01:51:39.119 --> 01:51:42.479
the craziest situation I ever saw, but I think it's

1943
01:51:42.479 --> 01:51:45.319
being embarrassing. Could turn this girl loosen too. We satisfied

1944
01:51:45.359 --> 01:51:47.920

01:52:09.399 --> 01:52:13.079
satisfy you. Miss mcjay, Well, you'll admit it, all of

1948
01:52:13.119 --> 01:52:16.159
that dream. If my wife is in this room, I'll

1949
01:52:16.199 --> 01:52:23.039
tell you after I see you. Hey, we are three fourteen. Yeah,

1951
01:52:31.159 --> 01:52:35.119
long story. I'm afraid that could come in. Please you

1954
01:52:42.960 --> 01:52:43.319
a rest.

1955
01:52:43.399 --> 01:52:44.960
You know, I'm figure.

1956
01:52:44.960 --> 01:52:47.920
I'm not being very We don't want to upset you, darling,

1957
01:52:47.960 --> 01:52:51.279
but miss McKay seems to have two very persistent ideas.

1958
01:52:51.640 --> 01:52:53.279
One that you rented the room at the top of

1959
01:52:53.359 --> 01:52:56.039
the stairs to her yesterday after the noon, and two

1960
01:52:56.239 --> 01:52:59.520
that the ice strangled you with a silk scarf at

1961
01:52:59.520 --> 01:53:00.520
two o'clock this morning.

1962
01:53:00.520 --> 01:53:03.880
Oh no, why Harry, I don't have this.

1963
01:53:04.680 --> 01:53:07.359
Don't look at me right here. I don't understand it either. Yes,

1964
01:53:07.479 --> 01:53:10.239
sorry about the drake. We felt we had to clear

1965
01:53:10.239 --> 01:53:12.640
it up in the lady's mind before we turned the loose.

1966
01:53:13.000 --> 01:53:16.760
Of course, yeah, of course, where a young lady.

1967
01:53:16.840 --> 01:53:20.399
I I don't quite don't want to see you, as

1968
01:53:20.439 --> 01:53:23.279
you can see. I I am alive. She's a very

1969
01:53:23.399 --> 01:53:25.399
unusual girl. She's got a will of iron.

1970
01:53:25.960 --> 01:53:27.279
I was holed over this.

1971
01:53:27.359 --> 01:53:29.880
Morning to find her in the downstairs hallway about to leave.

1972
01:53:30.159 --> 01:53:32.479
She got the key from lord knows where the cold

1973
01:53:32.600 --> 01:53:35.239
lightfully spent the night in our guest room, turned up

1974
01:53:35.279 --> 01:53:38.840

1978
01:53:55.960 --> 01:53:59.239
dark couldn't see her face very well. It was too

1979
01:53:59.359 --> 01:54:04.520
dark or in the afternoon, and to die. You were

1980
01:54:04.640 --> 01:54:07.800
here yesterday afternoon, weren't you, Agnes. Of course I was.

1981
01:54:08.000 --> 01:54:08.520
I was playing.

1982
01:54:10.359 --> 01:54:12.199
I think I got enough. Come on, Chief, let's go

1983
01:54:12.279 --> 01:54:12.880
back to the office.

1984
01:54:12.960 --> 01:54:16.560
J Henry, Wait a minute, I'm kind of think you

1985
01:54:16.680 --> 01:54:17.560
don't really know that.

1986
01:54:17.640 --> 01:54:20.199
Girl, Henry, rightness, of course I don't know her.

1987
01:54:20.359 --> 01:54:20.880
I see.

1988
01:54:21.840 --> 01:54:25.520
I wondered if perhaps this could be the elections.

1989
01:54:26.039 --> 01:54:27.199
Is it coming up next month?

1990
01:54:27.399 --> 01:54:27.600
Yes?

1991
01:54:27.720 --> 01:54:28.880
But what that got to do with it?

1992
01:54:29.000 --> 01:54:31.520
We couldn't be that well, the chief part of some

1993
01:54:31.680 --> 01:54:34.439
sort of plot to discreditude make you lose that election.

1994
01:54:35.479 --> 01:54:37.000
Believe me, please, I that.

1995
01:54:37.159 --> 01:54:38.319
But you're up to a young lady.

1996
01:54:38.640 --> 01:54:40.960
This whole fantastic story is a plot.

1997
01:54:40.760 --> 01:54:43.760
Against my husband, Shenry. I'm coming back to gretin day.

1998
01:54:44.039 --> 01:54:45.960
I'm not going to leave you alone up there another.

1999
01:54:45.800 --> 01:54:48.399
News No, see here, I won't be necessary.

2000
01:54:48.479 --> 01:54:50.359
I want to Henry, I want to come back.

2001
01:54:50.600 --> 01:54:52.800
I want to help you with your rest, Agnes. We

2002
01:54:52.960 --> 01:54:55.159
decided you'd stay here at least from the sixteenth and

2003
01:54:55.199 --> 01:54:58.840
the twenty eighth. Your rest is important. Remember I'm no la.

2004
01:55:00.920 --> 01:55:01.359
All of you.

2005
01:55:01.439 --> 01:55:04.399
I don't forget about it.

2006
01:55:05.399 --> 01:55:10.239
I loved Please take me back at the hotel.

2007
01:55:16.920 --> 01:55:20.840
You're bewildered, now, aren't you, Chris? Frustrated and helpless here

2008
01:55:21.720 --> 01:55:23.760
as you pace the floor of your hotel room. In

2009
01:55:23.800 --> 01:55:26.239
the past twenty four hours does seem like a dream,

2010
01:55:27.039 --> 01:55:30.439
and you almost believe you did have a nightmare. That

2011
01:55:30.640 --> 01:55:32.960
is until you reach into your purse for a cigarette,

2012
01:55:33.319 --> 01:55:36.079
and then it crossed the scrap of yellow paper, the

2013
01:55:36.159 --> 01:55:38.199
one the lady who rented the room gave you with

2014
01:55:38.319 --> 01:55:41.000
her address on one side twelve.

2015
01:55:40.880 --> 01:55:42.279
Point this came room.

2016
01:55:43.039 --> 01:55:46.319
That's not a nightmare, is it, Chris? The address she

2017
01:55:46.439 --> 01:55:50.039
wrote and handed to Slowly, you turn the torn scrap

2018
01:55:50.079 --> 01:55:53.760
of yellow paper order. It's the top part of a telegraph,

2019
01:55:54.359 --> 01:55:56.880
the printed Western Union heading and part of the line

2020
01:55:56.920 --> 01:56:01.600
of code letters a telegram, Chris, A long chance, but

2021
01:56:01.720 --> 01:56:06.039
it's worth investigating. This telegram might shed some light on

2022
01:56:06.159 --> 01:56:10.399
your bewildering situation. You rush to the Western Union office.

2023
01:56:15.359 --> 01:56:18.199
I'm dying man. That's not our cove belongs to bomb

Is that what you wanted?

2031
01:56:47.640 --> 01:56:51.960
Man? Yes, yes, it is just what I wanted.

01:57:08.920 --> 01:57:12.640
Walletta's body lies hidden somewhere inside the high wall that

2036
01:57:12.760 --> 01:57:16.640
surrounds the Drake House. As you ride back to the hotel.

2037
01:57:16.720 --> 01:57:20.239
In the text, so you try to think, suddenly remember

2038
01:57:20.359 --> 01:57:24.359
something else about your nightmare? And many footsteps on that

2039
01:57:24.560 --> 01:57:26.680
boardwalk out to the pergola and back of the house.

2040
01:57:27.680 --> 01:57:29.439
You know you're taking a chance, but you have to

2041
01:57:29.520 --> 01:57:32.319
act now. Tomorrow might be too late.

2042
01:57:32.479 --> 01:57:36.600
Gott I've changed my mind. Take me to twelve twenty

2043
01:57:36.680 --> 01:57:45.760
this game road. Will you waiting?

2044
01:57:46.960 --> 01:57:48.800
I don't think I'll be wrong, but be sure to wait.

2045
01:57:49.000 --> 01:57:56.800
See the house is dark as you walk through the garden,

2046
01:57:56.920 --> 01:58:00.159
passing him out to the boardwalk in the pergola, or

2047
01:58:00.199 --> 01:58:06.199
the body is somewhere near the boardwalk. You're starting the

2048
01:58:06.239 --> 01:58:10.039
pargo itself and begin lighting matches. Nothing under the windows,

2049
01:58:10.039 --> 01:58:12.800
Eat those signs of fresh dirt and the shrubbery around it,

2050
01:58:13.479 --> 01:58:15.520
in the tangle of who can be a climbing over

2051
01:58:15.560 --> 01:58:20.359
the summer house, in the rose beds, fuel shed, the hothouse,

2052
01:58:20.720 --> 01:58:27.880
the shallow water mettle well next to the boardwalk. Ten

2053
01:58:27.960 --> 01:58:31.119
minutes past. The matches are gone now and you've found nothing.

2054
01:58:31.399 --> 01:58:34.640
Not a time. There's nothing to do but go back.

2055
01:58:42.399 --> 01:58:48.640
I'm sorry. You've got miss Nicky. You you found her,

2056
01:58:48.800 --> 01:58:54.199
didn't you? Under the boardwalk on? Oh it's too.

2057
01:58:54.159 --> 01:58:59.000
Bad, yes, yes, too bad?

2058
01:59:00.439 --> 01:59:04.760
A name would Roletta was? He was your faird wife.

2059
01:59:05.279 --> 01:59:09.319
She whispered my present wife too. And you see, I

2060
01:59:11.119 --> 01:59:16.039
I found myself in a very difficult position. Bigamy is

2061
01:59:16.079 --> 01:59:22.960
an extraordinary problem, Bigoty, that's not the the most unfortunate part. Though,

2062
01:59:23.640 --> 01:59:27.920
You are such a nice girl, so who determined pro clime?

2063
01:59:29.399 --> 01:59:32.800
I am not going to enjoy killing you too.

2064
01:59:33.960 --> 01:59:35.720
Flip Ferd did it?

2065
01:59:35.800 --> 01:59:36.079
Taxi?

2066
01:59:36.159 --> 01:59:36.960
I've been waiting for me?

2067
01:59:37.319 --> 01:59:40.600
No, no, you see I dismissed the taxi five minutes ago.

2068
01:59:44.279 --> 01:59:56.359
Shall we walk into the house. They're now turning back. Now,

2069
01:59:56.479 --> 01:59:59.399
if the grin you're sure Henley drink of going to

2070
01:59:59.479 --> 02:00:02.159
kill you, and if clip on your arm so tight

2071
02:00:02.279 --> 02:00:05.000
that your hand turned calls tells you he means what

2072
02:00:05.079 --> 02:00:08.119
he said. Before you can even think to cry out,

2073
02:00:08.239 --> 02:00:13.239
the heavy door had closed behind you. I wish there

2074
02:00:13.279 --> 02:00:15.760
were some other way. I knew I'd have to kill

2075
02:00:15.800 --> 02:00:17.840
you sooner or later when you told me you'd been

2076
02:00:17.880 --> 02:00:20.600
in the household my live. I knew then that you

2077
02:00:20.720 --> 02:00:22.960
had seen it couldn't help you if there was a

2078
02:00:23.039 --> 02:00:27.279
struggle let her cry out. I hope I could blush

2079
02:00:27.359 --> 02:00:29.840
you out of the Don's headquarters. Not for my sake,

2080
02:00:30.000 --> 02:00:33.439
believe me, it was for yours. I didn't want to

2081
02:00:33.560 --> 02:00:36.279
kill you too, but now I.

2082
02:00:38.279 --> 02:00:41.880
Have to God, you never got re up that way.

2083
02:00:42.279 --> 02:00:43.079
Please don't.

2084
02:00:44.920 --> 02:00:47.479
I'm not you get it.

2085
02:00:48.319 --> 02:00:50.960
You should shouldn't have come. I told you I know, Henry,

2086
02:00:51.439 --> 02:00:54.920
and how I be fined. You don't understand I under Mordy.

2087
02:00:55.000 --> 02:00:57.319
You know, Henry. Do you think I'm blind?

2088
02:00:57.880 --> 02:00:59.600
I know for a long kind that there was another

2089
02:00:59.640 --> 02:01:00.399
woman of life.

2090
02:01:00.920 --> 02:01:03.319
When you insisted that I go to Port Lauderdale for a.

2091
02:01:03.319 --> 02:01:04.680
While, I knew why.

2092
02:01:04.600 --> 02:01:06.399
You wanted to be out of the way so that.

2093
02:01:06.479 --> 02:01:08.920
You indeed, this woman is a trick.

2094
02:01:08.960 --> 02:01:11.399
You're right, I want to hear anything you have less.

2095
02:01:11.479 --> 02:01:14.279
You're so very wrong, You're upset, you don't care, Henry,

2096
02:01:14.359 --> 02:01:16.479
I am a p I'm not wrong.

2097
02:01:16.600 --> 02:01:17.479
I know what I'm doing.

2098
02:01:18.279 --> 02:01:22.600
Don't begun. You've humiliated me long enough, Henry.

2099
02:01:23.239 --> 02:01:26.920
I didn't wonder when theres us before cheat Norton, that Tory,

2100
02:01:27.079 --> 02:01:28.720
that Trump up, Sidney.

2101
02:01:28.439 --> 02:01:30.439
Fails Toy, the two of you brought with you the

2102
02:01:30.520 --> 02:01:31.199
Fort lauderday.

2103
02:01:31.800 --> 02:01:34.079
What have fool you might think I am just think

2104
02:01:34.159 --> 02:01:35.159
if you'll only list.

2105
02:01:35.000 --> 02:01:37.119
To get her out, get her out right now, Henry,

2106
02:01:37.159 --> 02:01:40.920
I'll tell you shyly, I want temperate any very long

2107
02:01:41.000 --> 02:01:45.399
and the lead present day you heard them.

2108
02:01:46.960 --> 02:01:50.600
I don't know what to do anything.

2109
02:01:51.800 --> 02:01:58.039
I will assume it says, if I go, mister Drake,

2110
02:01:59.680 --> 02:02:04.359
the way, where I'm going, what I'm going to do,

2111
02:02:05.119 --> 02:02:05.439
don't you?

2112
02:02:07.000 --> 02:02:13.199
Yes, mister Kase, I know exactly where you're going and

2113
02:02:13.479 --> 02:02:17.079
just what you're going to do. And this time I

2114
02:02:17.880 --> 02:02:22.239
think they'll believe you. But I don't seem to have

2115
02:02:24.079 --> 02:02:30.479
very much choice in the matter. And so and another

2116
02:02:30.600 --> 02:02:33.800
strange story, as told by the whistler. This is the

2117
02:02:33.960 --> 02:02:37.039
United States Armed Forces, ready your service, the voids of

2118
02:02:37.119 --> 02:02:38.520
information and education.

2119
02:03:07.319 --> 02:03:11.119
Well, my dear, the evening is at a close. The

2120
02:03:11.319 --> 02:03:14.760
sun will be rising soon, and I need to return

2121
02:03:14.880 --> 02:03:19.680
to well wherever it is I come from, and you

2122
02:03:20.319 --> 02:03:24.880
to your beautiful home. But do come back. I so

2123
02:03:25.239 --> 02:03:29.880
enjoy these visits of ours. I look forward to them greatly.

2124
02:03:30.840 --> 02:03:37.760
I'll be right here, same time, same place, happy to

2125
02:03:37.920 --> 02:03:43.079
share your company. But if I may ask one favor

2126
02:03:43.199 --> 02:03:46.199
of you as you make your way home, as you

2127
02:03:46.640 --> 02:03:52.079
see the darkness unwind into light, as you cross streets

2128
02:03:52.199 --> 02:03:57.119
and sidewalks and your threshold, and you lay your head

2129
02:03:57.279 --> 02:04:00.880
down to sleep, as you blink away the day and

2130
02:04:01.039 --> 02:04:04.680
head off to the land of nod, Take just one

2131
02:04:04.920 --> 02:04:10.119
moment and be thankful for what you have, and I'll

2132
02:04:10.199 --> 02:04:12.159
