Unknown Broadcast slips into the Weekly Spooky feed again—bringing old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, and vintage radio mystery that feels like you found a station you were never meant to tune in.

Tonight’s signal carries four tales where grifts rot into consequences, quiet rooms turn hostile, and the universe starts enforcing its own rules… with a smile:

  • 📻 “Medium Rare” (CBS Radio Mystery Theater) — A fake medium sells comfort to the grieving—until the dead decide they’re done being good customers. What starts as a clever con turns into supernatural payback that’s equal parts cruel… and deserved.
  • 🔔 “Bells” (Suspense) — A home that should feel safe. A relationship that should feel warm. And a sound that keeps ringing like a warning you can’t unread. The longer it goes, the more it feels like the house itself is listening.
  • 👔 “Career Man” (The Whistler) — Ambition is a lovely mask—right up until it slips. When success becomes a hunger, someone always ends up on the menu… and The Whistler is delighted to tell you who.
  • 🐍 “Snake Doctor” (Escape to the Unknown) — Down around Cashier Creek, there’s money, secrets, and a man who knows snakes better than people. But folklore has a funny way of collecting interest—especially when you wander too close to what should’ve stayed buried.

If you love classic radio suspense, OTR horror, and that delicious feeling of dread wrapped in velvet—this episode’s for you. Keep the dial close. If the static starts sounding like your name… don’t worry.
Probably.

1
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:14.640
Well, hello, my dear, so good to see you. Yet again,

2
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:21.320
you certainly are ah, what do they say? A sight

3
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:27.000
for sore eyes, although it's been a while since I

4
00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:33.479
was fully aware of any soreness per se. Oh, what's that?

5
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:34.399
Well?

6
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:39.759
I suppose we can please take a seat in my

7
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.960
favorite chair, get cozy by the fire. The tea is

8
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:49.240
just about done steeping, and you can have a nice cup.

9
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:51.280
Good.

10
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:57.479
While I'm not sure I understand soreness, I'd be lying

11
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:02.079
if I said I wasn't feeling something else, something like

12
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:05.480
being cooked medium.

13
00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:39.719
Rare a CBS radio Mystery Theater presents.

14
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:34.959
Come in welcome, I mean, g Marshall, you know what

15
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.680
a petard is? I always knew it was something you've

16
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.439
got hoisted by, you know, hoisted by his own petard,

17
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:46.560
But I never knew what it was, so I looked

18
00:01:46.560 --> 00:01:51.200
it up. It was an explosive device used centuries ago

19
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:55.480
by warring armies to blow things up, a device which

20
00:01:55.760 --> 00:02:00.200
sometimes blew up unexpectedly, thus hoisting.

21
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:01.439
The user into the air.

22
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.079
To say the least, I mention all this, because that's

23
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.640
exactly what seems to have happened to a certain middle

24
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.479
aged lady known as Madame Zora.

25
00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:16.800
Are you are you telling us you're you're a real ghost.

26
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:21.479
I'm not whistling Dixie Dow. But you can't be now?

27
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:22.840
Why not?

28
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.639
Because my wife is a fake medium, a phony. She

29
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:27.800
just puts on an act.

30
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:30.680
She just plained. Isn't a medium?

31
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:44.759
She is now buster, She sure is now.

32
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:49.240
Our mystery drama Medium Rare was written especially for the

33
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:53.879
Mystery Theater by George Lowther and stars Joan Lovejoy and

34
00:02:54.039 --> 00:03:00.599
Robert Dryden. It is sponsored in part by annoyser Bush Incorporated, Brewers, Budweiser,

35
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:05.360
and Buick Motor Division. I'll be back shortly with that

36
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:07.120
one who.

37
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.840
Knows how to help you solve your shopping problems, your

38
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:12.120
meta business pureau.

39
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:16.840
Nos, honey, still work at this fantastic fi I made.

40
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:19.639
This came from a catalog at forty seven forty five

41
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.680
and the manufacturer's list price is eighty nine ninety five.

42
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:24.280
I can't believe it.

43
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:25.599
Well, don't believe it.

44
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:28.280
Your forty seven forty five price is pretty good.

45
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:29.360
Only I've been.

46
00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:32.560
Looking around, and believe me, no one is selling them

47
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:33.599
for list price.

48
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:36.800
You mean I was taken. I got a bad deal. Gosh,

49
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:37.800
I wonder how I could.

50
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:41.800
Really find out, I'll help you. Who are you?

51
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:44.319
I'm the man from your Better Business Bureau.

52
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:47.800
You know catalogs sometimes lists two prices for an item.

53
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:51.280
One is the list price and the other is.

54
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:54.400
What you pay. The only way you could be sure is.

55
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:55.400
To shop around.

56
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.120
You are so smart, not at all.

57
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.400
Your Better Business Bureau is better information for consumers like you.

58
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:08.919
Shop at Marty.

59
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.520
Summer turns to fall at Margie's, and you can turn

60
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.719
your summer into fall with brand new nylon shells and tops.

If perfect, just three four and five dollars starting Monday.

62
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:22.160
The greatest colors for the new season turtlenecks, mock turtles,

00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.879
Friday Night on Sports Central will feature an open line show.

70
00:04:39.319 --> 00:04:40.199
You pick the topic.

71
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:42.480
Our phone lines will be open from six to seven

pm to take your comments on any area of sports.

73
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.680
Our first sports question of the night is a holdover

74
00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:52.000
from last night. Who fumbled more times at any other

75
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:55.759
player in the National Football League in the nineteen seventy

76
00:04:55.879 --> 00:05:00.519
three season, Sports Central Dallas weeknights six to seven pm

77
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:14.920
on KRLD. Friday night, at Open Line Show, we're.

78
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.279
Told that there are people who have the power to

79
00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:20.639
communicate with the souls of those who have guied and

80
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:29.399
passed on into another world. They are known as psychics, sensitives, mediums. Unhappily,

81
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:33.439
there are also people who pretend to have this uncanny ability,

82
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:39.360
fake mediums, who prey upon the credulous a gullible. One

83
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:42.439
of these, I regret to say, was an otherwise rather

84
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:47.519
decent woman who dubbed herself Madame Zora, and who with

85
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:49.439
the assistance of her husband Artie.

86
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.639
Well, listen, I'm sick of the racket.

87
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:54.959
I'm sick of myself, and if you want the truth, Arty,

88
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:56.160
I am thick of you.

89
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:57.920
Glad. That's what I do.

90
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:02.040
Nothings. The trouble you never do anything.

91
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.240
You don't even bother to look for a job anymore.

92
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:07.959
That's a sense of looking for water, isn't there? Actors

93
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:09.000
are out of work and drove.

94
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:12.240
Trouble is you are always out of work in drove.

95
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.519
Okay, so I haven't made it yet, but someday you

96
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:15.120
mark my word.

97
00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:18.680
Someday I hope be a story that'll be the day.

98
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:21.759
Right now it is to day, and missus Norris will

99
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:25.480
be here any minute now. Already, somehow, some way we've

100
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:28.120
got to keep her coming back for more seances.

101
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.519
Not a chance, you ask me, unless the late lamented

102
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.240
mister Norris tells her where he stashed that mission in

103
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.519
cold cash and tells her today she's gonna split.

104
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:41.920
We've got to give her an answer. Otherwise I don't

105
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:42.759
know where the next.

106
00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:43.759
Sucker is coming from.

107
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.720
Oh, she's here, into the bedroom.

108
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:47.480
Quick on my way.

109
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:49.160
You tested the microphone set up?

110
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:49.639
Bitch?

111
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:58.600
Oh, here goes nothing, Missus Larus, How nice to see you.

112
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:04.120
Co mean now I'm.

113
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:03.399
All ready for you.

114
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:08.600
And believe me, I have a feeling that today your.

115
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.279
Dear departed husband is going to tell you what you

116
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:11.879
want to know.

117
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:15.519
It's better or it's the last fifty dollars you'll ever

118
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:17.199
get from me, Madam Dora.

119
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:19.720
I have done all in my.

120
00:07:19.839 --> 00:07:20.920
Power to help you.

121
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:24.480
Well, in that case, perhaps i'd better find a medium

122
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:25.360
with more power.

123
00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:31.920
Shall we get on with it? Yes, yes, of course,

124
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:32.800
if you.

125
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:36.480
Will just be seated at say once table, now that

126
00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:38.480
you turned on the lights, so.

127
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:48.120
Now I will see myself and go into time.

128
00:07:54.680 --> 00:08:04.040
M he is here, he is with us.

129
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:07.439
You are there, are you not?

130
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:08.879
Mister Norris?

131
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:11.360
I am here.

132
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:18.120
Madam Zrah, your wife has joined me once again so

133
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:19.480
she can talk to you.

134
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:23.920
Will you talk with her?

135
00:08:24.759 --> 00:08:25.560
Oh?

136
00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:27.920
Marie Herkimer?

137
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:30.839
Is that you really?

138
00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:35.080
You would I lie to you, Marie, No.

139
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:38.720
You wouldn't dare. But Madam Dora might.

140
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:40.720
Aurae believe me?

141
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:49.480
You may put your trust in Madam Zorah Herkimer. Where

142
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:50.759
is that money?

143
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:53.679
Are you know?

144
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:56.080
I've been trying to remember.

145
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:58.799
Where I put that billiain for weeks.

146
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:02.480
I've been tried to but that dog it had enough.

147
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:06.840
You can come out of your trance, Madam Zorrah. It's

148
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:08.559
you are one never again.

149
00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:14.879
But coll it what I said? Call it knock it off?

150
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:20.240
Who are you, handsome Harry Harrigan? They used to call

151
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.000
me a sweetheart? Have but never mind that. You want

152
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:25.879
to know where Hobby cribbed.

153
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:28.879
The cabbage right, gribbed the cabbage hid the dough?

154
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:33.080
Okay, I'm going to tell you. I'm going to tell

155
00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:37.320
you because I'm sick of hearing yours. Also, I've got

156
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:41.120
some business with Madame Zori and you're chewing too much beef.

157
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:44.879
You got something to write with pencil paper? Yes, all right,

158
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:50.879
I write this down. Geneva Bank Switzerland, got that? Yes,

159
00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:57.279
number seven, five, three, eight, four nine to two. W

Where are you?

175
00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:56.639
I'm here, but you can't see me. I haven't learned

176
00:10:56.639 --> 00:11:01.360
how to what they call materialize yet materialize?

177
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:02.639
Are you?

178
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:08.679
Are you telling us that you're a real ghost. I'm

179
00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:12.279
not whistling, Dixie Donald Alreadie.

180
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:14.200
I think I'm going to say a.

181
00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:18.759
Later Right now, I need you. I need a job done,

182
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:20.759
and I picked you to do it.

183
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.480
But what kind of a job you'll find out?

184
00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:27.519
Person? Let me give you a little scam about me

185
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:30.559
putting you in a picture like they say. Before I

186
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.480
kicked off a couple of years ago, I was one

187
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.039
of the best card shops in the business. Handsome Harry.

188
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:41.960
They called me handsome Harry, Harry because I do say

189
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:44.840
so myself. I was a pretty cool looking cat, not

190
00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:48.240
like this creep you married or your married creep. Go

191
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:50.559
take a look at yourself in a mirror and you'll

192
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:51.320
see what I mean.

193
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:53.399
You want to be an.

194
00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:56.240
Actor, you got to act the part. Look like an actor,

195
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:59.360
talk like an actor, dressed like an actor. You'll look

196
00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:01.159
at talk and dressed like a bomb.

197
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:03.159
I've been telling him that for years. But would he

198
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:04.799
listen to me? Oh no, not him.

199
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:07.240
He all other time. Gladys high.

200
00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:11.200
Right now, I got a fill in on why I'm here. Oh,

201
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:12.360
I'm sorry, Harry.

202
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:17.559
I may call you Harry handsome. I was always called handsome.

203
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:23.600
Now over here in this other world, I'm doing a

204
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:27.320
stretch and what they call limbo. It's kind of like

205
00:12:27.360 --> 00:12:29.279
being in a can in prison, you know what I mean.

206
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:32.320
That's because I got to hate in my soul and

207
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:33.360
I got to get rid of it.

208
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:34.919
Hate and your soul.

209
00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:39.759
You got heat or a gunzo named tex Morgan, who

210
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:42.399
three years ago took me to the cleaners with a

211
00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:46.120
pair of loaded dice and took my mouse along with

212
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:46.799
everything else.

213
00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:48.799
What were you doing with a mouse?

214
00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:56.039
A dame? A scurry girlfriend? Oh stories, that was the name.

215
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:01.960
A look at a bombshell. Heex my dough and her.

216
00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:04.200
I'm looking for them a whole year to put the

217
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:07.559
blast on them, to get revenge. When my ticket goes

218
00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:10.960
bluey and I don't, that's the end of that. So

219
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:14.399
now I'm over here in this limbo place and I

220
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:18.080

00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:39.559
at the Pan of Gold.

229
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:42.519
Suppose we don't go.

230
00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:44.799
Don't go.

231
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:46.799
You haven't told us. What wasn't it for us yet?

232
00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:49.399
What do we get out of all this if we

00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:49.879

234
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:53.120

Oh, no, you don't. You just stay right there on

00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:48.960

you're making out of him.

249
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:58.360
Maybe not, but you are, for me, the biggest deal

250
00:14:58.440 --> 00:14:59.159
I ever made.

251
00:14:59.200 --> 00:15:06.399
Honey, baby, Hey, come on, you got fifteen minutes to

252
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:07.320

00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:08.879
I'll make it.

255
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:12.399
I wouldn't be late today for anything, you really think

256
00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:15.559
Roscoe Will would he have called me into his private

257
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:17.399
office yesterday, talked to me like.

258
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:18.519
A loving father.

259
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:20.600

Ye're bringing home a lot more bacon. That's what counts,

00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:32.759
especially right now. Kid on the way and the house

You shouldn't even ask.

275
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:17.399
Wild Man wild You sound like you've never been in

276
00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:21.519
a casino before. Odie'll be I never know what's the

277
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:24.399
whole folk in New Jersey. Lad just look at this place,

278
00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:27.759
at the bullet wheels, soft machines, clap table. I don't

279
00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:31.919
know what all black jack tables like that one? How

280
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:35.000
would ask the texts Morgan dealing?

281
00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:39.279
That's him, the slim one with the glasses.

282
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:45.840
That's him. My first mark, my first step to, like

283
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:53.080

to go to work letters, What do you want.

285
00:16:56.080 --> 00:16:56.480
Me to do?

286
00:16:57.480 --> 00:16:59.120
Take a hand at Morgan's table?

287
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:01.440
Played blackjack?

288
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:02.360
I don't know how.

289
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:06.240
I've never played, Lady has though, how much tell you

290
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:07.200
got on your Gladys.

291
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.839
Would you believe seven dollars lattus. By the time you

292
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:16.960
leave that table Text Morgan's table, you won't have just

293
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:21.400
seven skins or seventy or seven hundred or seven thousand.

294
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:25.519
You're gonna leave that table with seventeen thousand iron men

295
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:31.920
seventeen grand for openings, they really start putting the hooks

296
00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:33.599
to Text Morgan tomorrow.

297
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:35.759
Look, I don't get this.

298
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:38.440
I don't know the first thing about playing.

299
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:43.200
Blackjack, but I know everything. Also, I'm a ghost. What's

300
00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:46.839
a good to do with it? I can see through anything,

301
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:55.240
including cards. My revenge on Texan Dorry begins and baby

302
00:17:56.319 --> 00:18:10.720
let Handsome Harry tell you revenge his suite. Handsome Harry

303
00:18:10.759 --> 00:18:13.920
Harrigan is taking the wrong route to forging his soul.

304
00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:19.240
Madam Zora fake medium was, as I said at the outset,

305
00:18:19.720 --> 00:18:24.640
hoist by her own petard, and quite honestly, I look

306
00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:28.319
forward to Handsome Harry unhappy, though he may be in

307
00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:33.319
limbo being hoist by his We'll see when I return

308
00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:38.200
shortly with act too.

309
00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:42.640
Some research experts say you can't.

310
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:46.519
Taste the difference between beers. Well, if they're right, van

311
00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:50.440
Anheuser Busch wastes a barrel of time, beechwood aging Budweiser.

312
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:52.000
Only they don't think so.

313
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:56.720
Ruing beer right does make a difference, and they're betting

314
00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:00.119
a bundle that you can taste the difference in. But

315
00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:04.200
when it comes to brewing Budweiser, the Anheuser Bush choice

316
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:07.279
is to go all the way because they still care

317
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:09.319
about quality.

318
00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:14.839
Look at it this way.

319
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:17.599
If the bud people have a choice between what some

320
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:22.279
experts say and what beer drinkers say, well you'd better

321
00:19:22.319 --> 00:19:25.559
believe they'll go with you beer drinkers every time.

322
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:31.359
When you save Budweiser, you said it all Anheyser Busch

323
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:34.759
Saint Louis.

324
00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:36.599
Most air conditioners.

325
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:39.559
Sound like this, but when the American Refrigerations Institute for

Nothing?

380
00:22:54.279 --> 00:22:59.279
Only it was a trademark of a gambler, big time swinger.

381
00:23:00.440 --> 00:23:02.359
He died more than two years ago.

382
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:09.559
And then dorry.

383
00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:13.200
Then she says, go buy yourself a piece of luck,

384
00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:15.799
just the way Handsome used to it.

385
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:17.880
Something almost anyone might say.

386
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:21.000
It was Handsome's trademark. And another thing.

387
00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:23.200
All through the place, you kept rubbing the right side

388
00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:24.319
of her nose with her.

389
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:26.799
Index finger, just the way handsome.

390
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:29.400
You seed, I don't know what you're getting you.

391
00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:32.839
I am saying. I'm saying that handsome Harry Harrigan got

392
00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:34.640
that table, my table text.

393
00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:37.759
Handsome is been dead for more than two years.

394
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:40.880
He's come back to get me, he swore, he what

395
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:42.319
with his dying breath?

396
00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:42.799
He swore it.

397
00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:44.480
He's a dory.

398
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:47.079
I cheated him out of a fortune with loaded dice.

399
00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:48.799
That was before you went straight.

400
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:51.359
I wouldn't cut any ice with a handsome dead or alive.

401
00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:52.720
What about you?

402
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:53.519
You left him for me?

403
00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:54.400
You deserted him.

404
00:23:54.400 --> 00:23:57.319
He said he knew better than that, He knew the

405
00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:00.559
hell he'd put me through. How many times did he

406
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:01.200
beat me up?

407
00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:03.839
How many threats did he make to distincture.

408
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:05.799
Me with acid? If I ever even look cross eyed

409
00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:06.599
at another man?

410
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:12.119
I was scared to death of him text, petrified.

411
00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:15.079
Until I fell in love with you, and I just

412
00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.400
knew I couldn't go on with him anymore, no matter

413
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:19.240
what he did.

414
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:21.599
Or may I tell you he's come back.

415
00:24:21.720 --> 00:24:23.200
I always come back.

416
00:24:23.319 --> 00:24:25.599
But I don't believe in ghosts, and I never will.

417
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:28.799
But if they do exist, if Handsome has.

418
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:31.240
Come back, I'm not afraid of him or what he'll

419
00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:31.720
try to do.

420
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:36.000
There's no reason to be afraid of him, not anymore.

421
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:37.279
How do you figure that?

422
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:42.640
Because we love each other? We love each other deeply

423
00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:44.359
and devotedly.

424
00:24:45.960 --> 00:24:49.319
Maybe it sounds corny, but from where I sit, love

425
00:24:49.400 --> 00:25:01.759
is stronger than hate any day, Ardie.

426
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:04.960
I, why have you done to.

427
00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:07.079
Yourself what I wanted to do for years?

428
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:09.119
As I got some dough, go out and buy me

429
00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:10.039
some new treads.

430
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:12.279
Handsome wasn't telling me nothing.

431
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:13.799
I didn't know when he said I want to be

432
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:14.279
an actor.

433
00:25:14.440 --> 00:25:15.279
I got to dressed upon.

434
00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:20.599
I never believed clothes make the man, but they sure

435
00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:21.240
make you.

436
00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:24.359
I'm more just a clothes horse. Dole.

437
00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:25.559
What in the.

438
00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:30.759
Room, Ardi, You sounded just like handsome Harry.

439
00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:35.680
I am handsome Harry, sweetheart. It's using stupid body for

440
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:36.119
a while.

441
00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:41.200
You you are using Artie's body.

442
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:45.440
Until I learned how to materialize. If I ever do

443
00:25:47.160 --> 00:25:50.319
they told me any other side in that limbo joint,

444
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:55.279
it takes a lot of patience in practice. Yeah, well

445
00:25:55.279 --> 00:25:58.759
did they know? Even told me I'm getting this eight

446
00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:03.480
out of my soul the wrong way. Well, I haven't

447

my hate grow bigger, said, I got to find forgiveness

450
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:19.119
in my heart. I told her to take a part.

451
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:22.960
I know what I'm doing, I hope. So any what's

452
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:26.000

454
00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:29.839
She came to see me.

455
00:26:30.279 --> 00:26:36.000
Dorry, Oh, she said, Text was scared that he was rubbing.

456
00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:39.319
Did you know that he thought I was you returned

457
00:26:39.359 --> 00:26:39.839

He's right, you are same difference anyhow.

459
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:46.400

00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:52.839
off Text that he was in.

462
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:54.839
Hot water at the casino because of the losses at

463
00:26:54.839 --> 00:26:55.359
his table, and.

464
00:26:56.839 --> 00:27:00.480
Well, look handsome. She seemed like an awfully nice kid.

I'll stop. You're breaking my heart.

468
00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:12.039
Hand from the way I feel.

469
00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:18.400
Now, what I feel is all that matters. And don't forget.

470
00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:22.839
If I can take possession of Artie's body, I can

471
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:26.400
do the same with yours. So don't get me fancy

472
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:30.720
ideas about running out on me. You got that, Yeah,

I guess you know.

477
00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:05.960
I was going to make you a head dealer of

478
00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:06.920
the black jack section.

479
00:28:07.839 --> 00:28:11.359
You're not worse, You're fired.

Come.

481
00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:15.400
I can pull that with a lot from our dealer's text.

482
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:18.279
But one thing we won't put up with is a

483
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:19.240
crooked dealer.

484
00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:22.279
I told you when you took me on two years

485
00:28:22.319 --> 00:28:24.720

00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:34.680
It's done, hasn't even started. Now, What do you mean?

512
00:29:35.680 --> 00:29:40.240
Getting text fired was just the first step. I swear

513
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:43.119
I'd make him regret to day he was born. And

514
00:29:43.240 --> 00:29:47.519
that's what I'm gonna do. He thought he was all

515
00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:52.480
set married to my dollar kid on the way could

516
00:29:52.559 --> 00:29:54.920
have been my kid handsome.

517
00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:55.599
Listen to me.

518
00:29:55.759 --> 00:29:58.559
What for all you're gonna do is run off at

519
00:29:58.559 --> 00:30:02.440
the mouth about forgive and forget? No more arguments. Five

520
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:06.200
is I'm following through with every single step in my plan,

521
00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:07.799
following through to the hilp.

522
00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:09.640
How many steps are there?

523
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:15.119
Three? You took care of the first, audio, take care

524
00:30:15.160 --> 00:30:20.119
of the second and the third. Hey, he'll take care

525
00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:23.960
of itself, all right. I come here to get step

526
00:30:24.039 --> 00:30:25.920
number two set up with Artie. I got to talk

527
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:26.640
to him. Where is he?

528
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:27.960
You're in him?

529
00:30:28.960 --> 00:30:29.079
Oh?

530
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:32.640
Hey, I forgot? Why can't talk to myself? Can I?

531
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:33.759
Okay?

532
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:38.279
Hardie take over? Uh you say something about buy a

533
00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:39.559
ball luggage glos?

534
00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:44.160
Yeah, I did already, But skip it.

535
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:49.920
For now, Sweetheart, Sweetheart, Handsome's here. He wants to talk

536
00:30:50.000 --> 00:30:51.599
to you bout what I.

537
00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:54.119
Got a job for you? Punk, What kind of a job?

538
00:30:54.240 --> 00:30:55.680
Had some acting?

539
00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:56.599
You?

540
00:30:56.720 --> 00:30:57.480
Probably an actor?

541
00:30:58.119 --> 00:31:00.440
And Honey, don't listen to him.

542
00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:01.319
He's putting you on.

543
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:02.720
What part?

544
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:04.960
Will I play a murderer?

545
00:31:06.240 --> 00:31:06.440
Here?

546
00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:13.960
I kill somebody, not just somebody OUTI You'll kill a

547
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:19.640
very special person. He'll kill the girl who used to

548
00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:31.480
be my girlfriend. He'll kill Dorry Morgan. A short act,

549
00:31:31.559 --> 00:31:35.759
but a sweet one, Handsome Harry said, believing, as perhaps

550
00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:41.160
all too many do, that revenge is sweet. But chemistry

551
00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:47.160
teaches the immutable, perhaps divine law that the sweeterer thing,

552
00:31:47.720 --> 00:31:53.559
the more sour it can become given certain conditions. Personally,

553
00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:57.640
I have the feeling that handsome sweet revenge is going

554
00:31:57.680 --> 00:31:59.279
to turn very sour.

555
00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:01.200
Indeed, I'll be.

556
00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:02.759
Back shortly with that. Three.

557
00:32:03.319 --> 00:32:04.039
Excuse me, sir.

558
00:32:04.559 --> 00:32:07.200
I would like to ask a deceptively simple question.

559
00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:10.200
I say deceptive because few people seem to.

560
00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:12.839
Know the answer. Ryan, Are you ready already?

561
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:13.240
Is right?

562
00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:13.680
Okay? No?

563
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:15.759
No, wait wait wait I think that should be right?

564
00:32:15.880 --> 00:32:16.119
Is right?

565
00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:17.359
Make that?

566
00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:22.200
Make that ready as I'll ever be ready to whatever anyway.

567
00:32:22.440 --> 00:32:23.240
The question is this?

568
00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:26.200
Yeah, go ahead, Oh, what happens this time of year?

569
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:30.160
That's it, that's the question. Yes, the sixty four thousand

570
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:33.400
dollars questions. That's the one, the one for all the marbles, well,

571
00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:37.279
the one that's on everybody's lips. Yes, that's the question. Wow,

572
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:39.799
as everyone should know. What happens this time of the

573
00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:42.559
year is that thewick dealers are giving great deals on

574
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:45.799
nineteen seventy four buicks, which of course means that this

575
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:47.920
time of the year may very well be the best

576
00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:50.640
chance you'll ever have to buy a buick from the

577
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:54.759
fifty but surprisingly elegant Apollo to the dashing, full sizeless

578
00:32:54.759 --> 00:32:58.200

largest selling lunchary car in ure.

580
00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:01.400

that they must do whatever Handsome tells him to do now,

00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:32.320
to the horrified astonishment of both, Handsome has told Artie

607
00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:36.320
that he is going to murder Dory Morgan. Dory Morgan's

sweet kid. Jazz. She's a tot timon train now.

610

A baby ex Morgan's baby.

612
00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:49.239
I don't care whose baby it is.

613
00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:53.599
Kill her and it's double murder. And I'm not letting

614
00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:55.039
Artie do one stop it.

615
00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:57.079
Here will do what I tell him, and there's nothing

616
00:34:57.159 --> 00:34:58.079
you can do to stop it.

617
00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:01.920
But why are you going to get out of killing Dory?

618
00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:06.000
Not when I'm gonna get sweetheart? What text is going

619
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:09.239
to get? A misery that'll make him wish he'd never

620
00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:13.880
been born. He'll live with that misery inside him, burning

621
00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:19.400
in his gut and the rest of his life. First

622
00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:21.599
he loves it, and he does.

623
00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:22.119
I know that.

624
00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:29.199
Second he'll know he killed it, not me, him every

625
00:35:29.239 --> 00:35:31.599
day of his life. You'll think a thousand times a day.

626
00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:34.400
You'll think, if I hadn't stolen her from Handsome, she

627
00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:35.159
wouldn't be dead.

628
00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:38.480
He didn't steal her, She loved him.

629
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:39.119
Love.

630
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:44.320
You know something, I'm sick of that word. That's all

631
00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:47.400
I talk about over here in love, And that's all

632
00:35:47.480 --> 00:35:51.000
you talk about lately. You are two bit phony medium

633
00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:53.800
that's something in the market could find shut them dry

634
00:35:54.760 --> 00:35:56.280
even when he didn't have a pot to put a

635
00:35:56.360 --> 00:35:56.719
penny in.

636
00:35:57.000 --> 00:35:58.039
And you talk to me of.

637
00:35:58.119 --> 00:36:04.360
Love, Okay, I yes, I have no right.

638
00:36:04.480 --> 00:36:08.719
I I gotta admit I don't know much about it.

639
00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:11.440
It's new to me.

640
00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:20.960
Love what you mean? You mean me? Gladys? Yes, I

641
00:36:21.840 --> 00:36:28.079
love you? How about that? That adds? How about that?

642
00:36:28.360 --> 00:36:30.920
So don't get all flaked out. I know the dames,

643
00:36:30.960 --> 00:36:33.400
and this one you're married to is no exception. Love you,

644
00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:35.719
she needs you is all.

645
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:37.639
I mean.

646
00:36:37.679 --> 00:36:40.679
A dame in the world. There is no person in

647
00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:43.599
the world. Wouldn't tell us mother down the drain.

648
00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:48.639
You're judging others by what you were are? Can't you

649
00:36:48.760 --> 00:36:49.719
get it through your head?

650
00:36:50.039 --> 00:36:52.559
Can't say on the other side, somehow beat it into

651
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:56.320
you that there are good people in the world, honest.

652
00:36:56.480 --> 00:36:58.360
Generous, decent people.

653
00:36:59.239 --> 00:37:06.880
Show me one what Show me one, just one, and

654
00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:11.159
maybe then I'll believe. Oh go on, don't show me one.

655
00:37:11.440 --> 00:37:14.559
Name me one story.

656
00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:16.840
Story.

657
00:37:17.800 --> 00:37:18.679
I can prove it to you.

658
00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:23.400
Yeah, how if I do?

659
00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:26.599
Will you let her off the hook? Will you let

660
00:37:26.639 --> 00:37:27.920
her live her life with texts?

661
00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:37.199
Sure? It's a deal, Handsome, it's a deal, baby, it's

662
00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:37.719
a deal.

663
00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:48.119
Tax honey.

664
00:37:48.199 --> 00:37:50.320
It isn't the end of the world, the end of

665
00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:52.119
our plans, our future?

666
00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:53.800
Sure, the end of the house.

667
00:37:55.159 --> 00:37:57.039
I can't afford a mortgage now.

668
00:37:58.440 --> 00:37:59.199
In an apartment.

669
00:37:59.440 --> 00:38:02.000
Yeah, how long will I be able to afford the right?

670
00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:04.960
I can always get a job to help out with

671
00:38:05.079 --> 00:38:08.000
a baby. Oh the sinners, people who stay with kids.

672
00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:12.880
I said no, and I mean it. It'd be like

673
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:16.280
like the way I was brought up, dragged up. My

674
00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:18.480
father couldn't make it either, So my mother went to

675
00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:21.199
work and my grandmother, she took care of me. Then

676
00:38:21.239 --> 00:38:25.159
she died and I went on the streets, changed my life.

677
00:38:25.239 --> 00:38:28.039
Dory had taught me to cheat and lie and sucker

678
00:38:28.119 --> 00:38:34.280
anybody I could until until I met you and fell.

679
00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:34.840
In love with you.

680
00:38:46.039 --> 00:38:47.400
Oh you.

681
00:38:49.239 --> 00:38:49.920
May I come in?

682
00:38:50.800 --> 00:38:52.719
Well, yes I have.

683
00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:57.440
I don't blame you for hesitating, Morgan. I guess I've

684
00:38:57.519 --> 00:38:59.039
kind of put a crimp in your life.

685
00:38:59.360 --> 00:39:00.760
Oh what not at all.

686
00:39:01.119 --> 00:39:02.079
You don't have to con me.

687
00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:03.599
I know the score.

688
00:39:04.960 --> 00:39:07.519
Your husband's in trouble, missus Morgan, bad trouble?

689
00:39:08.440 --> 00:39:08.639
Is he?

690
00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:10.000
You know it?

691
00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:12.239
I don't know anything of the sort.

692
00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:15.239
Never mind that. What is it you want?

693
00:39:16.800 --> 00:39:22.159
I've come here to make you an offer. Offer in

694
00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:25.840
the past week, I want a hundred and thirty.

695
00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:27.039
Thousand dollars from your husband.

696
00:39:27.840 --> 00:39:31.199
Well, leave the casino, actually, but he was the dealer

697
00:39:31.280 --> 00:39:35.679
and he lost his job because of true the deal

698
00:39:35.719 --> 00:39:39.559
I've come here to make, and no questions. Now, I'll

699
00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:43.679
give you that hundred and thirty grand If you.

700
00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:49.519
Leave him, you will give me everything you want from text.

701
00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:55.559
If I leave him, what you mean is desert him. Yes,

702
00:39:57.639 --> 00:40:01.039
in other words, sell him out for one hundred.

703
00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:02.119
And thirty thousand dollars.

704
00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:05.239
Well, that's one way of putting it.

705
00:40:06.039 --> 00:40:13.639
Tell me another. Harry was evil and the man I'm

706
00:40:13.679 --> 00:40:17.199
married to is good. As for you, I don't know

707
00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:17.880
what you are.

708
00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:22.239
I don't think you know what you are, but you'd

709
00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:23.199
be smart if.

710
00:40:23.119 --> 00:40:23.960
You found out.

711
00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:30.480
Found out I didn't know who I was with Harry, but.

712
00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:34.159
I did and I do with texts.

713
00:40:35.760 --> 00:40:38.000
You think you can buy that with one hundred and

714
00:40:38.039 --> 00:40:39.840
thirty thousand dollars, You think you can buy it with

715
00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:40.440
one hundred and.

716
00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:42.280
Thirty billion billion.

717
00:40:42.079 --> 00:40:45.719
Dollars, then I'd give you one answer here.

718
00:40:45.760 --> 00:40:46.039
It is.

719
00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:48.559
You can't.

720
00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:53.960
I was sure I couldn't.

721
00:40:55.679 --> 00:40:58.920
And why did you come here to prove my point

722
00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:08.039
of to somebody else? But we had a deal, you, Wilsher,

723
00:41:08.880 --> 00:41:11.400
I said, I proved there are good people in this world.

724
00:41:11.239 --> 00:41:13.119
Decent people capable of love.

725
00:41:13.159 --> 00:41:13.840
And I did.

726
00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:16.840
He turned down your offer flat.

727
00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:21.320
You're going you buy a gun and your killer, that's all.

728
00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:24.519
I'm not buying any gun, and I'm not killing anybody,

729
00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:27.199
especially a fine human being like Dory Morgan.

730
00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:34.079
I and let me tell you to something. Thanks to me,

731
00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:38.119
you're worth one hundred and thirty grand. You're on easy street.

732
00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:41.559
I can see to it. You wind up right back

733
00:41:41.599 --> 00:41:44.760
where you started in that crummy New York apartment scrounging

734
00:41:44.840 --> 00:41:48.320
for nickels and dimes. Now wants it to be.

735
00:41:49.239 --> 00:41:51.280
As far as I'm concerned, you can take your one

736
00:41:51.360 --> 00:41:52.559
hundred and thirty thousand and.

737
00:41:52.679 --> 00:41:57.719
Stuffed Tex and Dory, two people you never met till now,

738
00:41:58.920 --> 00:41:59.519
and you give.

739
00:41:59.480 --> 00:42:02.320
Up a four for them and for what they stand for,

740
00:42:03.239 --> 00:42:04.119
for what they are.

741
00:42:05.119 --> 00:42:07.280
She loves him, he loves her.

742
00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:11.079
I love a start back, a calm game.

743
00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:14.719
Call it what you want. I'm not killing Dori Morgan.

744
00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:17.679
You need that stupid.

745
00:42:21.039 --> 00:42:21.079
No.

746
00:42:21.679 --> 00:42:25.679
Hi, Betes baby, I'm sorry, but I've been thinking I

747
00:42:25.719 --> 00:42:27.039
don't want to go back to that last of New

748
00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:29.320
York dump and start looking from hand to mouth again.

749
00:42:29.480 --> 00:42:35.880
You'll do it, alright, you'll do it, Yeah, I'll do it.

750
00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:55.960
Oh already, yes.

751
00:42:56.880 --> 00:43:02.159
Missus Morgan. Yes, I'm I'm afraid of Texas. Is he home?

752
00:43:02.880 --> 00:43:04.760
No, he just let but you must have just passed

753
00:43:04.840 --> 00:43:05.440
him on your way in.

754
00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:10.320
It's too bad. I got a job for him, a job.

755
00:43:11.599 --> 00:43:13.920
Oh well, won't you come in?

756
00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:15.400
Thanks?

757
00:43:16.000 --> 00:43:16.440
Sit down?

758
00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:20.960
Sit down? What kind of a job is it?

759
00:43:22.679 --> 00:43:23.199
What is this.

760
00:43:24.760 --> 00:43:25.199
A gun?

761
00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:26.000
Listen?

762
00:43:26.079 --> 00:43:29.480
I don't like to do this, but I got it.

763
00:43:30.280 --> 00:43:31.880
Got what kill you?

764
00:43:32.800 --> 00:43:33.119
Kill me?

765
00:43:33.320 --> 00:43:33.519
Yeah?

766
00:43:33.719 --> 00:43:34.480
I gotta do it.

767
00:43:34.519 --> 00:43:37.000
I got no choice to see it. It won't hurt.

768
00:43:37.639 --> 00:43:39.199
I'll make it quick so it don't hurt.

769
00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:40.039
And I.

770
00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:43.920
Can't do it, Harry, I can't do it.

771
00:43:44.920 --> 00:43:45.440
I can.

772
00:43:47.039 --> 00:43:50.719
I can't. Easy voice.

773
00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:53.000
Change.

774
00:43:54.760 --> 00:44:00.400
You sound like my handsome Harry. Harry and Dorry, Oh

775
00:44:01.320 --> 00:44:04.519
your old flame and some Harry.

776
00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:07.960
You're dead.

777
00:44:09.400 --> 00:44:16.360
Only my body, Doll. The spirit, it don't die. It

778
00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:19.559
goes on living until it gets itself praised or something.

779
00:44:21.320 --> 00:44:26.599
That's why I'm here inside this creeps body, my spirit

780
00:44:26.760 --> 00:44:29.920
using his body to kill you. You do, Tim, And

781
00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:34.079
I won't make it quick. I'm gonna make it slow

782
00:44:35.239 --> 00:44:38.280
and very painful, Doll, very.

783
00:44:40.079 --> 00:44:40.119
No.

784
00:44:41.480 --> 00:44:42.519
I don't care about me.

785
00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:44.880
The baby I'm carrying a baby.

786
00:44:45.559 --> 00:44:45.880
Baby.

787
00:44:46.639 --> 00:44:48.199
It doesn't matter whose it is.

788
00:44:48.280 --> 00:44:49.000
A baby.

789
00:44:49.599 --> 00:44:50.519
It's a new life.

790
00:44:50.840 --> 00:44:52.960
Oh, Harry, No, I'm telling you.

791
00:44:56.800 --> 00:44:58.000
I fell in love with Jex.

792
00:44:58.119 --> 00:44:59.719
I couldn't help myself.

793
00:44:59.800 --> 00:45:03.400
I I couldn't stand it anymore with you, the things

794
00:45:03.719 --> 00:45:04.440
and the threats.

795
00:45:04.719 --> 00:45:08.519
If I loved you, you dad, No, you loved me.

796
00:45:09.960 --> 00:45:10.800
I wanted to.

797
00:45:12.400 --> 00:45:15.800
Want to do but you never gave me the chance anyway.

798
00:45:17.079 --> 00:45:20.760
I gave you everything you've asked for close first jewel,

799
00:45:20.920 --> 00:45:22.639
not everything, everything.

800
00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:25.360
But loved because you you never had any of that

801
00:45:25.559 --> 00:45:26.840
in you to get.

802
00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:29.440
A lot.

803
00:45:29.920 --> 00:45:30.239
You know.

804
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:32.840
I have a lot.

805
00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:34.119
You know you beat me.

806
00:45:34.800 --> 00:45:40.079
You threatened because I loved you, because I was scared.

807
00:45:39.800 --> 00:45:40.599
A lord than you.

808
00:45:42.559 --> 00:45:45.960
I've seen you fighting mother, not a guy, me up

809
00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:46.360
the wall.

810
00:45:46.920 --> 00:45:47.760
I'd make love to you.

811
00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:50.159
And you were like ice, like ice, and it would

812
00:45:50.400 --> 00:45:51.280
give me banana.

813
00:45:53.119 --> 00:45:55.960
I wanted you, I meeting you.

814
00:45:57.440 --> 00:46:00.719
I never want never once did.

815
00:46:00.599 --> 00:46:01.440
I ever have you.

816
00:46:04.079 --> 00:46:05.760
I'm sorry I beat you.

817
00:46:05.880 --> 00:46:10.360
I'm sorry I threatened you, but I couldn't help myself because.

818
00:46:11.519 --> 00:46:13.800
The thought of losing you.

819
00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:20.440
I know I'd die if it happened, and I did.

820
00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:27.239
Harry, So, so you owe me doll.

821
00:46:29.119 --> 00:46:32.199
For what you did to me. You owe me and

822
00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:39.800
your pain, your pain in full, your pain.

823
00:46:41.440 --> 00:46:49.119
Now, Harry, you.

824
00:46:51.280 --> 00:46:54.519
Drop the gun, I.

825
00:46:56.320 --> 00:46:57.079
Can't kill you.

826
00:46:59.280 --> 00:47:01.320
I I.

827
00:47:02.920 --> 00:47:08.079
I still love you, and maybe maybe I.

828
00:47:10.519 --> 00:47:11.599
Love you a little.

829
00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:17.719
Now what is it, Harry?

830
00:47:19.400 --> 00:47:26.519
Yeah? Calling to me? Yeah, guys and dolls and limbo.

831
00:47:28.000 --> 00:47:30.079
I what.

832
00:47:33.360 --> 00:47:38.880
Mhm, Hey, that's out of sight. I want to say that.

833
00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:44.559
That's really something else, Harry, What is it?

834
00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:46.280
Dorry?

835
00:47:48.559 --> 00:47:48.880
Dorry?

836
00:47:50.519 --> 00:47:51.159
Believe it or not.

837
00:47:54.119 --> 00:48:06.519
I'm purged. Love hate two sides of the same coin.

838
00:48:06.719 --> 00:48:07.119
They say.

839
00:48:08.440 --> 00:48:11.559
If that is so, perhaps I can be forgiven for

840
00:48:11.639 --> 00:48:18.599
saying that Handsome Harry really flipped anyhow, he's purged. I'll

841
00:48:18.639 --> 00:48:21.880
be back shortly. At what's a blood pressure machine? In

842
00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:22.920
sixteen letters?

843
00:48:23.119 --> 00:48:23.480
Easy?

844
00:48:25.159 --> 00:48:25.840
So what is it?

845
00:48:26.480 --> 00:48:27.639
Stigma monometer?

846
00:48:28.159 --> 00:48:32.679
All your kidding s p h y G M O

847
00:48:33.440 --> 00:48:35.760
M A N O M E T E R E

848
00:48:36.079 --> 00:48:39.480
T E r Hey, that's right here, it's fits Now

849
00:48:39.559 --> 00:48:40.280
tell me what it is.

850
00:48:40.559 --> 00:48:42.920
Well, it's a cuff with a dial on it. I say.

851
00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:45.280
It's a machine that the doctor uses to measure your

852
00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:46.000
blood pressure.

853
00:48:46.119 --> 00:48:47.320
Yeah, well why does he want to do that?

854
00:48:47.920 --> 00:48:50.559
Well, your blood pressure goes up and down. See, but

855
00:48:50.679 --> 00:48:53.519
if it goes up and stays up, you've got high

856
00:48:53.559 --> 00:48:57.559
potensional and that's bad. More it can be hypertension can

857
00:48:57.599 --> 00:48:59.599
set you up for a heart attack or a stroke.

858
00:49:00.239 --> 00:49:02.760
But if your doctor knows you've got hypertension, the two

859
00:49:02.840 --> 00:49:04.800
of you can control. Hey, you know all about it.

860
00:49:05.159 --> 00:49:08.559
While you're working crossword puzzles. I'm reading this booklet. I

861
00:49:08.679 --> 00:49:11.760
picked it up yesterday at the Heart Association, Smart Smart,

862
00:49:12.360 --> 00:49:14.559
So what's a hollow muscular organ?

863
00:49:14.719 --> 00:49:15.679
In five letters?

864
00:49:16.360 --> 00:49:17.760
Hard baby Heart.

865
00:49:29.159 --> 00:49:32.800
You'll be interested to learn that Techs found another job

866
00:49:33.599 --> 00:49:37.960
and he and Dorry are deliriously happy with their baby boy. Harry.

867
00:49:39.039 --> 00:49:42.239
Gladys and Artie live in the country. They bought a

868
00:49:42.320 --> 00:49:46.440
house and barn in which are he stages and stars

869
00:49:46.559 --> 00:49:51.280
in his own plays. As for handsome Harry, he went

870
00:49:51.360 --> 00:49:56.800
on finally to a higher plane, wherever that is. Our

871
00:49:56.920 --> 00:50:02.039
cast included Joan Lovejoy, Robert Dryden, Mason Adams and George Petrie.

872
00:50:02.800 --> 00:50:11.480
The entire production was under the direction of i'mond Brown, My.

873
00:50:11.679 --> 00:50:16.440
Dear, you seem to have made yourself at home. Good good,

874
00:50:17.840 --> 00:50:18.159
what's that?

875
00:50:19.119 --> 00:50:19.360
Well?

876
00:50:20.599 --> 00:50:25.639
I wouldn't worry one little bit about that. Well, maybe

877
00:50:25.639 --> 00:50:30.559
a little, but only as a as a treat. No,

878
00:50:32.079 --> 00:50:36.679
I suppose it seems obvious to some, but not too all.

879
00:50:37.880 --> 00:50:43.400
Perhaps I'm just accustomed to it, you know, they say,

880
00:50:43.719 --> 00:50:48.599
when your ears have been pummeled for long enough, you

881
00:50:48.800 --> 00:50:52.920
stopped being able to hear the bells?

882
00:50:54.400 --> 00:50:58.960
And now another tale, well calculated to keep you in.

883
00:51:01.519 --> 00:51:02.199
Suspense.

884
00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:05.079
Do you believe in ghosts?

885
00:51:05.920 --> 00:51:05.960
No?

886
00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:09.400
Well, then how about the poorltergeists?

887
00:51:10.039 --> 00:51:12.599
You know, all those noisy, mischievous spirits that wrap on

888
00:51:12.679 --> 00:51:16.880
the walls, move the furniture, rattle the windows, generally make.

889
00:51:16.840 --> 00:51:20.880
A scary nuisance of themselves. Do you believe in them?

890
00:51:20.880 --> 00:51:24.119
I mean, of course not be the do I?

891
00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:28.360
And yet now and then we hear reports, reports from

892
00:51:28.440 --> 00:51:34.559
people of honesty integrity about strange, unexplainable manifestations that have

893
00:51:34.679 --> 00:51:38.480
sent them screaming with terror into the night. In a

894
00:51:38.559 --> 00:51:44.119
moment act one of Bells, starring Rosemary Rice and Bill Lipton,

895
00:51:44.519 --> 00:51:47.280
and written especially for suspense by Jack Bundy.

896
00:51:50.079 --> 00:51:54.960
The lively crowd today agree. Those who think young, say,

897
00:51:55.159 --> 00:51:59.639
have seen playing they the right one, the modern like one.

898
00:52:00.239 --> 00:52:01.239
Now it's pepsi.

899
00:52:02.440 --> 00:52:05.960
For those who think young, so I can and pick

900
00:52:06.039 --> 00:52:09.639
the drink that lets you drink young as you think.

901
00:52:10.480 --> 00:52:14.159
Yet get the right one, A modern light one. Now

902
00:52:14.280 --> 00:52:27.800
it's pepsi. For those who think young, Hi, honey, home.

903
00:52:28.440 --> 00:52:29.239
All this home?

904
00:52:29.559 --> 00:52:32.840
Well it won't be for long because listen, listen him,

905
00:52:33.280 --> 00:52:33.880
Listen to what that.

906
00:52:33.960 --> 00:52:36.599
Blested elevated practically tearing to our living room every couple

907
00:52:36.639 --> 00:52:37.400
of minutes.

908
00:52:37.119 --> 00:52:39.280
All day, all night, all week or year.

909
00:52:39.559 --> 00:52:40.679
Can we listen to it?

910
00:52:40.840 --> 00:52:41.039
Right on?

911
00:52:41.199 --> 00:52:41.639
Que too?

912
00:52:42.119 --> 00:52:43.000
So help me, Lucy.

913
00:52:43.480 --> 00:52:46.280
Oh what's the use, honey?

914
00:52:46.320 --> 00:52:48.239
Seriously, if we have to live in this place much longer,

915
00:52:48.320 --> 00:52:50.639
I swear I'll go completely off my No, I.

916
00:52:50.760 --> 00:52:53.360
Know exactly what you mean. I felt that way myself.

917
00:52:53.960 --> 00:52:57.480
But from now on, mister Fielding, my dear, my darling,

918
00:52:57.559 --> 00:52:59.480
mister feeling, it won't be necessary.

919
00:53:00.000 --> 00:53:02.360
I've never talked to so many real estate agents, plowed

920
00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:04.320
through so many classified ads in my life.

921
00:53:04.360 --> 00:53:05.039
And what's it got me?

922
00:53:05.559 --> 00:53:07.920
It's got your me and listened to me. I've told

923
00:53:07.920 --> 00:53:10.440
you more than once that I'm psychic, and now I

924
00:53:10.760 --> 00:53:11.480
know that I am.

925
00:53:11.880 --> 00:53:14.159
Please, Honey, not that again. How about some dinners?

926
00:53:14.239 --> 00:53:17.000
But it's true and now I know it is now

927
00:53:17.199 --> 00:53:17.920
I can prove it.

928
00:53:18.159 --> 00:53:20.880
You mean, that's so called guardian angel of yours has

929
00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:23.480
found us a nice, quiet, little home in the country

930
00:53:23.519 --> 00:53:24.480
that we can afford.

931
00:53:24.679 --> 00:53:28.880
That's exactly what I mean, because listen, Henry, listen very carefully, now, really.

932
00:53:28.800 --> 00:53:31.400
Lucy, I've told you a thousand times. You can't seriously

933
00:53:31.480 --> 00:53:33.599
believe all that psychic stuff and all that junk about

934
00:53:33.599 --> 00:53:34.480
a guardian angel.

935
00:53:34.880 --> 00:53:38.559
It's not junk. My guardian angel looks after me, and

936
00:53:38.679 --> 00:53:40.880
I am sure of it. Now you are, yes, I

937
00:53:41.000 --> 00:53:41.559
am looked.

938
00:53:41.840 --> 00:53:42.840
Look at this newspaper.

939
00:53:43.039 --> 00:53:45.920
You see it isn't the Herald Examiner at all. It's

940
00:53:46.000 --> 00:53:46.679
the Sentinel.

941
00:53:46.880 --> 00:53:49.119
You mean, because you picked up the wrong newspaper by

942
00:53:49.199 --> 00:53:50.559
mistake that makes you psychic.

943
00:53:50.719 --> 00:53:52.039
It wasn't any mistake.

944
00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:55.039
A few minutes ago, as I was leaving a supermarket

945
00:53:55.519 --> 00:53:57.639
for some strange reason.

946
00:53:57.760 --> 00:54:03.840
I can't explain that there was something something, some strange feeling,

947
00:54:04.039 --> 00:54:07.679
some influence or something that just made me reach out

948
00:54:07.760 --> 00:54:10.559
and grab this particular paper made me Henry.

949
00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:12.719
I couldn't help myself.

950
00:54:12.320 --> 00:54:13.000
Say, your psychic?

951
00:54:13.039 --> 00:54:13.920
How about some dinners?

952
00:54:13.960 --> 00:54:14.079
Well?

953
00:54:14.159 --> 00:54:17.199
I am I must be, because look look here on

954
00:54:17.280 --> 00:54:18.000
the real estate.

955
00:54:17.880 --> 00:54:21.000
Paper, Honey, I've read them all, Henry, not this one.

956
00:54:21.079 --> 00:54:21.679
Will you listen?

957
00:54:22.480 --> 00:54:27.559
Small six room colonial cottage with an easy driving distance

958
00:54:27.639 --> 00:54:29.719
of bell manor Development.

959
00:54:29.920 --> 00:54:32.000
Oh no, you know, done well. We can never afford

960
00:54:32.039 --> 00:54:33.639
a section like that bell Miner yet.

961
00:54:33.639 --> 00:54:34.480
Will you please listen?

962
00:54:35.039 --> 00:54:39.599
Excellent condition bank inspected, fully insured, two bedrooms.

963
00:54:39.199 --> 00:54:42.360
One back and have they dared to put in the price.

964
00:54:42.239 --> 00:54:46.280
Wait, large living room with stone fireplace, built on garage,

965
00:54:46.760 --> 00:54:50.119
full half acre plot, ideal for young couple anxious to

966
00:54:50.199 --> 00:54:52.639
get away from the noise and dirt of the city.

967
00:54:53.000 --> 00:54:56.159
And if this isn't just exactly what we've been looking for, sure,

968
00:54:56.440 --> 00:54:56.920
sure it is.

969
00:54:57.000 --> 00:54:58.559
But the rental on a place like that, it'd be

970
00:54:58.599 --> 00:54:59.559
about I'd say.

971
00:54:59.519 --> 00:55:02.519
Three h Henry, that's just it. The rental is one

972
00:55:02.679 --> 00:55:04.639
hundred and fifteen dollars a month.

973
00:55:04.840 --> 00:55:06.800
Oh, now you are look for yourself.

974
00:55:06.880 --> 00:55:09.679
See one hundred and fifteen dollars a month.

975
00:55:10.559 --> 00:55:12.239
I can't believe it, but that's what it says in

976
00:55:12.360 --> 00:55:13.119
black and white.

977
00:55:13.159 --> 00:55:17.239
Oh, Henry, it's a dream come true, and all because

978
00:55:17.280 --> 00:55:18.760
of my guardian angel and.

979
00:55:18.840 --> 00:55:21.440
That strange, unexplainable feeling.

980
00:55:21.559 --> 00:55:23.440
Well, there's something wrong with it. Let's face it, Lucy.

981
00:55:23.519 --> 00:55:25.280
There must be a rental like that for a place

982
00:55:25.400 --> 00:55:26.519
like that in this day and age.

983
00:55:27.000 --> 00:55:29.960
Well, at least we're going to look into it, aren't we, honey.

984
00:55:30.239 --> 00:55:31.119
But we have to.

985
00:55:32.400 --> 00:55:34.400
I mean, because of the way we've found out about it,

986
00:55:34.480 --> 00:55:38.320
the way that that's something I can't explain forced me

987
00:55:38.440 --> 00:55:41.000
to buy this paper to find this particular ad.

988
00:55:41.039 --> 00:55:42.760
By your good old guardian Angel.

989
00:55:42.840 --> 00:55:44.519
Oh, please dear, don't kid me about.

990
00:55:44.639 --> 00:55:47.840
Okay, okay, we'll look into it. We've got to lose

991
00:55:49.280 --> 00:55:49.960
who's the agent.

992
00:55:50.159 --> 00:55:54.920
Oh, let's see his name is. Oh, here's Strickler, Orville Strickler.

993
00:55:55.000 --> 00:55:56.280
I'll call him first thing in the morning.

994
00:55:56.440 --> 00:55:56.679
Thank you.

995
00:55:57.199 --> 00:56:01.079
If there isn't something wrong with it, well, I mean

996
00:56:01.119 --> 00:56:04.159
maybe I'll give in and admit that you are psychic.

997
00:56:12.960 --> 00:56:13.880
In just a moment.

998
00:56:14.559 --> 00:56:15.599
The second act of.

999
00:56:18.960 --> 00:56:25.199
Suspense, when Napoleon met his waterloo, the news was slow

1000
00:56:25.360 --> 00:56:28.960
in coming across the Atlantic. However, at that time Americans,

1001
00:56:29.039 --> 00:56:32.280
though interested, were little affected by what was taking place

1002
00:56:32.400 --> 00:56:37.320
an entire ocean away. Today, that ocean has shrunk proportionately

1003
00:56:37.639 --> 00:56:41.320
to about the size of Walden Pond, with little of

1004
00:56:41.400 --> 00:56:45.239
the serenity about it so admired by Thorah. Today, we

1005
00:56:45.440 --> 00:56:48.159
want to know immediately what is going on all around

1006
00:56:48.199 --> 00:56:51.679
the world. Our concern is vital to the free world.

1007
00:56:52.679 --> 00:56:56.079
The worldwide network of veteran CBS news correspondence meets this

1008
00:56:56.239 --> 00:56:59.519
need to know and know immediately every hour on the hour,

1009

radio network station.

1015
00:57:24.400 --> 00:57:28.320
And these pictures, Henry, Oh, isn't it beautiful?

1016
00:57:28.360 --> 00:57:28.840
Gorgeous?

1017
00:57:28.920 --> 00:57:32.519
Huh lucy, it looks real nice. But when were these

1018
00:57:32.599 --> 00:57:35.519
pictures taken, mister Strickler, only a couple of days ago.

1019
00:57:35.599 --> 00:57:37.880
Mister Fielding took myself as soon as we got the

1020
00:57:37.920 --> 00:57:40.480
place for a listing. It's no wonder we've had so

1021
00:57:40.559 --> 00:57:42.480
many calls on it already, and we.

1022
00:57:42.639 --> 00:57:45.079
Certainly can't argue with this bank report on it.

1023
00:57:45.360 --> 00:57:48.000
That's right, Miss Fielding. The bank wouldn't dare to lie

1024
00:57:48.039 --> 00:57:48.679
about the place.

1025
00:57:48.800 --> 00:57:51.559
I still don't understand this low rental. Can you explain it?

1026
00:57:51.760 --> 00:57:54.760
Well, of course, it isn't in bill Manor. It's two

1027
00:57:54.800 --> 00:57:57.480
or three miles out, real country, farm country.

1028
00:57:57.559 --> 00:57:59.039
Hmm, that's what I like about it.

1029
00:57:59.239 --> 00:58:02.199
But it has gas and water and electricity all ready

1030
00:58:02.239 --> 00:58:05.199
to use. And well, of course the telephones, the old

1031
00:58:05.280 --> 00:58:07.920
fashioned kind. I mean, you have to call the operator

1032
00:58:08.239 --> 00:58:10.440
who cares, Darling, this is it.

1033
00:58:11.119 --> 00:58:12.599
Yep, yeah, I guess it is.

1034
00:58:13.960 --> 00:58:14.679
Thanks darling.

1035
00:58:15.320 --> 00:58:19.199
And now do you believe sure? Sure anything you say?

1036
00:58:19.400 --> 00:58:22.880
Believe what miss feeling mister strickl There main no attention,

1037
00:58:22.960 --> 00:58:23.559
mister Strickland.

1038
00:58:23.599 --> 00:58:26.440
My wife's a bit superstitious thing. She's psychic, is all.

1039
00:58:26.760 --> 00:58:27.599
I think nothing of it.

1040
00:58:28.039 --> 00:58:28.480
Psychic.

1041
00:58:28.599 --> 00:58:33.559
Did you say, what's the matter, mister Strickland, Oh, nothing

1042
00:58:34.360 --> 00:58:35.719
like your husband says, nothing at all.

1043
00:58:35.760 --> 00:58:38.360
It's just the last folks in the house.

1044
00:58:38.400 --> 00:58:39.320
Well, you know how it is.

1045
00:58:39.400 --> 00:58:42.360
The noises some folks aren't quite used to out there

1046
00:58:42.400 --> 00:58:45.440
in the country, like the tree branches hitting on the

1047
00:58:45.519 --> 00:58:48.440
roof when the wind blows, and the well, let me

1048
00:58:48.599 --> 00:58:51.719
tell you a young one something. Yes, I just want

1049
00:58:51.800 --> 00:58:54.280
you to know that I stand back of every deal

1050
00:58:54.400 --> 00:58:57.960
I make. So you take along both copies of this lease,

1051
00:58:58.159 --> 00:59:00.480
and when you've seen the house, make sure it's right

1052
00:59:00.559 --> 00:59:03.199
for you, then you can mail my copy back to me.

1053
00:59:03.480 --> 00:59:05.960
Oh, I'm sure that isn't one bit necessary, though.

1054
00:59:06.039 --> 00:59:08.360
That's just about as fair a proposition as we could

1055
00:59:08.400 --> 00:59:11.039
ask for, mister Strickler. Now, if you let me have

1056
00:59:11.159 --> 00:59:15.880
the keys, yes, sir, here you are, Thanks and good luck.

1057
00:59:23.400 --> 00:59:23.639
Phew.

1058
00:59:24.119 --> 00:59:28.320
Hi, I never realized we'd had so many things in

1059
00:59:28.400 --> 00:59:29.800
that stuffy little apartment.

1060
00:59:30.119 --> 00:59:32.280
Less, we'll have to to fill up this place.

1061
00:59:32.360 --> 00:59:34.559
Now, where do you want this chair? You sign are

1062
00:59:34.639 --> 00:59:36.360
over there near the fireplace? Oh?

1063
00:59:37.559 --> 00:59:38.039
Anywhere?

1064
00:59:38.199 --> 00:59:39.079
Okay, then I'll.

1065
00:59:39.000 --> 00:59:41.559
Put it right here and put it to use.

1066
00:59:43.320 --> 00:59:43.480
Uh.

1067
00:59:44.400 --> 00:59:47.239
I will still have to buy things for one whole bedroom, though,

1068
00:59:47.719 --> 00:59:50.719
I guess, and I bring their sleeping bags by the

1069
00:59:50.760 --> 00:59:52.159
time we get all this stuff, so that will be

1070
00:59:52.239 --> 00:59:53.239
glad it's all we have?

1071
00:59:53.559 --> 00:59:55.920
Are you lazy bum? They're still an awful lot of

1072
00:59:56.039 --> 00:59:56.840
unpacking to do.

1073
00:59:57.239 --> 01:00:00.360
Oh hum, Just let me relax for a minute. Some

1074
01:00:00.519 --> 01:00:02.559
of those furniture was pretty hefty to push around.

1075
01:00:03.000 --> 01:00:03.159
Well.

1076
01:00:03.159 --> 01:00:05.320
I still think the mover should have stayed to help.

1077
01:00:06.119 --> 01:00:08.199
Say did you hear one of them say they moved

1078
01:00:08.239 --> 01:00:11.440
the last family in and out of here? M Those

1079
01:00:11.480 --> 01:00:14.239
men were certainly anxious to get away once they'd unloaded

1080
01:00:14.280 --> 01:00:14.760
that truck.

1081
01:00:15.239 --> 01:00:18.159
I wonder why so they want to get back before

1082
01:00:18.280 --> 01:00:19.000
the starbrobe.

1083
01:00:20.079 --> 01:00:22.880
I'm afraid of our back country roads, I guess.

1084
01:00:22.840 --> 01:00:25.480
Henry, how do you think these drapes will look here?

1085
01:00:25.559 --> 01:00:25.599
On?

1086
01:00:26.519 --> 01:00:28.760
Henry, come on help me.

1087
01:00:28.920 --> 01:00:32.199
M eh huh oh oh. I'll be right with you

1088
01:00:32.239 --> 01:00:33.559
as soon as I finished the seirette.

1089
01:00:33.679 --> 01:00:34.400
You'd better.

1090
01:00:36.440 --> 01:00:38.519
Listen to that rain out there. Isn't that soothing?

1091
01:00:38.920 --> 01:00:39.079
You know?

1092
01:00:39.199 --> 01:00:40.639
I just knew this was going to be.

1093
01:00:40.719 --> 01:00:43.920
It for us, Henry, after buying that other newspaper that

1094
01:00:44.039 --> 01:00:47.719
way for no reason at all except that weird, strange

1095
01:00:47.800 --> 01:00:48.960
feeling that I had.

1096
01:00:49.119 --> 01:00:50.599
Yeah, yeah, regular miracle.

1097
01:00:51.000 --> 01:00:53.159
You know I didn't tell you this, but I was

1098
01:00:53.199 --> 01:00:55.519
out in this section with an agent just last week.

1099
01:00:55.920 --> 01:00:58.280
And do you know the lowest rental we could.

1100
01:00:58.119 --> 01:00:59.519
Find two hundred and a quarter.

1101
01:00:59.639 --> 01:01:02.840
I was here too, two hundred and fifty and not

1102
01:01:03.079 --> 01:01:04.119
nearly as nice as this.

1103
01:01:04.719 --> 01:01:07.559
Yeah, that sweet old Guardian angel you're always talking about

1104
01:01:07.639 --> 01:01:09.119
must be working over to Henry.

1105
01:01:09.239 --> 01:01:10.280
Don't joke about it.

1106
01:01:10.519 --> 01:01:13.440
Okay, then prove it. Here's your chance to prove it, Lucy.

1107
01:01:13.519 --> 01:01:16.920
Call in some friendly polter guys to help me move

1108
01:01:17.000 --> 01:01:18.039
the rest of this furniture.

1109
01:01:18.119 --> 01:01:21.400
Huh oh, Now, stop at you, lazy bomb, but you

1110
01:01:21.559 --> 01:01:22.880
are a nice, lazy.

1111
01:01:22.639 --> 01:01:23.599
Bit best there is.

1112
01:01:25.719 --> 01:01:29.280
Listen that lovely rain out there, and the thunder nothing ominous,

1113
01:01:29.480 --> 01:01:30.679
menacing or frightening.

1114
01:01:31.079 --> 01:01:33.960
Well, I should hope not just nice and peaceful.

1115
01:01:35.599 --> 01:01:37.400
No, I guess land up this way and stand a

1116
01:01:37.440 --> 01:01:40.159
bit of rain too, the crop's a lot of good crops.

1117
01:01:40.239 --> 01:01:41.199
Did you say, uh?

1118
01:01:41.480 --> 01:01:44.039
Oh, Now, look, little city boy, don't try to sound

1119
01:01:44.159 --> 01:01:46.960
like a farmer just because there's a little plot of.

1120
01:01:47.039 --> 01:01:49.719
Land around us. And will you please get up out

1121
01:01:49.760 --> 01:01:51.639
of that chair and help Henry?

1122
01:01:52.119 --> 01:01:54.079
WHOA sure?

1123
01:01:55.000 --> 01:01:55.719
Sure, sweetie.

1124
01:01:55.760 --> 01:01:57.039
You don't have to hit me over the head with

1125
01:01:57.079 --> 01:01:57.800
a thunderbolt.

1126
01:01:57.920 --> 01:02:01.159
Oh, what's a close one out here in the country?

1127
01:02:01.199 --> 01:02:03.000
All alone this way, I'm scared alone?

1128
01:02:03.039 --> 01:02:05.639
Did you say, Oh, how about that? We barely move

1129
01:02:05.679 --> 01:02:08.599
in here? Somebody calls us up on the I'm the

1130
01:02:08.679 --> 01:02:09.000
thing of it.

1131
01:02:09.119 --> 01:02:11.159
He did, tell us the phone was all hooked up.

1132
01:02:11.679 --> 01:02:12.159
Where is it?

1133
01:02:12.280 --> 01:02:14.039
Oh, I'm glad it is hooked up. Now we can

1134
01:02:14.119 --> 01:02:15.800
call up some of our friends and have them come

1135
01:02:15.840 --> 01:02:18.039
out and see us. I wonder who it is here?

1136
01:02:18.079 --> 01:02:20.639
It is under this crap here?

1137
01:02:20.760 --> 01:02:25.360
Now, Hello, but don't bite anybody up here, just yet,

1138
01:02:25.480 --> 01:02:26.280
not till we're settled.

1139
01:02:26.280 --> 01:02:32.079
Okay, don't worry. Hello, Hello, what's going on here?

1140
01:02:33.199 --> 01:02:33.639
Who is it?

1141
01:02:33.719 --> 01:02:34.039
Henry?

1142
01:02:34.960 --> 01:02:35.519
Only wish?

1143
01:02:35.599 --> 01:02:36.960
I hello?

1144
01:02:39.480 --> 01:02:39.719
Hello?

1145
01:02:40.800 --> 01:02:41.079
Number?

1146
01:02:41.159 --> 01:02:41.480
Please?

1147
01:02:41.840 --> 01:02:43.719
What I said number? Please?

1148
01:02:43.800 --> 01:02:43.920
Well?

1149
01:02:44.000 --> 01:02:46.480
Yeah, yeah, I know you did, But listen, didn't you

1150
01:02:46.599 --> 01:02:47.119
just ring here?

1151
01:02:47.480 --> 01:02:47.519
No?

1152
01:02:47.719 --> 01:02:48.440
I did not, sir.

1153
01:02:48.480 --> 01:02:51.039
Are you sure about that of course, I am, sir.

1154
01:02:52.119 --> 01:02:56.599
Oh, okay, I'm sorry. It's funny.

1155
01:02:56.800 --> 01:02:57.679
Who was it, Henry?

1156
01:02:58.119 --> 01:02:58.599
Nobody?

1157
01:02:58.719 --> 01:02:58.960
Nothing.

1158
01:02:59.079 --> 01:03:01.800
I guess you must have wrung this by mistake.

1159
01:03:02.280 --> 01:03:05.239
Oh now, will you give me a hand with these

1160
01:03:05.320 --> 01:03:05.920
drapes please?

1161
01:03:05.960 --> 01:03:09.519
Yeah, sure, be glad to pull everything this time. I

1162
01:03:09.559 --> 01:03:16.519
hope there's somebody on the line. Hello, Hello, just a minute.

1163
01:03:16.559 --> 01:03:16.880
What is this?

1164
01:03:17.679 --> 01:03:17.880
Hello?

1165
01:03:19.000 --> 01:03:22.920
Hello, number, please number?

1166
01:03:22.960 --> 01:03:24.599
Please listen. This phone just rang again.

1167
01:03:25.079 --> 01:03:26.360
You must be mistaken, sir.

1168
01:03:26.480 --> 01:03:27.159
I didn't ring you.

1169
01:03:27.280 --> 01:03:29.440
Well, somebody did, operator. My wife and I both heard it.

1170
01:03:29.719 --> 01:03:31.679
Well, there's no call for you on the switchboard, sir.

1171
01:03:31.880 --> 01:03:32.599
And why did you ring?

1172
01:03:33.280 --> 01:03:35.239
I did not ring, So now I don't tell me.

1173
01:03:35.679 --> 01:03:40.360
Okay, okay, Henry, there was nobody there again?

1174
01:03:40.840 --> 01:03:41.079
Was there?

1175
01:03:41.119 --> 01:03:44.320
Nobody but the operator and those funny little she claims

1176
01:03:44.400 --> 01:03:49.639
she didn't ring. That's very funny, yeah, funny only it

1177
01:03:49.760 --> 01:03:50.360
is in this time?

1178
01:03:50.480 --> 01:03:50.719
Hello?

1179
01:03:51.920 --> 01:03:53.000
All right, all right, let's have it.

1180
01:03:53.039 --> 01:03:53.599
What's the gag?

1181
01:03:54.480 --> 01:03:54.719
Hello?

1182
01:03:55.599 --> 01:03:55.880
Hello?

1183
01:03:58.239 --> 01:03:58.599
Number?

1184
01:03:58.719 --> 01:03:59.039
Please?

1185
01:03:59.159 --> 01:04:01.039
Now look, operation, don't tell me you didn't ring the

1186
01:04:01.039 --> 01:04:01.360
phone this.

1187
01:04:01.440 --> 01:04:04.440
Time, Henry, I'm sorry, but I did not, sir.

1188
01:04:04.559 --> 01:04:06.320
Well, i'm sorry too, but you must have I tell

1189
01:04:06.320 --> 01:04:08.199
you this phone rang It rang before too. In spite

1190
01:04:08.239 --> 01:04:08.719
of what you say.

1191
01:04:08.760 --> 01:04:10.159
Now, let's cut out this foolishness.

1192
01:04:10.480 --> 01:04:13.119
I am very sorry, sir, but you must be mistaken.

1193
01:04:13.159 --> 01:04:13.639
What do you mean?

1194
01:04:13.719 --> 01:04:14.599
What are you talking about?

1195
01:04:14.920 --> 01:04:17.559
It could only have been wrung through this switchboard. I'm

1196
01:04:17.639 --> 01:04:19.480
on duty alone here and I did not ring it.

1197
01:04:19.559 --> 01:04:21.559
Oh no, and now if you would excuse me, I

1198
01:04:21.679 --> 01:04:22.559
have another call to have.

1199
01:04:22.800 --> 01:04:23.480
No I have to say.

1200
01:04:23.480 --> 01:04:25.199
Is that's somebody around here? And it isn't me as

1201
01:04:25.239 --> 01:04:29.960
a cock eyed Hello, son of a gun. She can

1202
01:04:30.119 --> 01:04:31.280
hang up on me, just one does.

1203
01:04:31.320 --> 01:04:33.480
She thinks she's up to Wait, Henry, losing your temper

1204
01:04:33.519 --> 01:04:33.960
won't help.

1205
01:04:34.119 --> 01:04:39.400
Now wait a minute, hello, operator?

1206
01:04:40.480 --> 01:04:40.840
Get out?

1207
01:04:41.360 --> 01:04:41.920
What what?

1208
01:04:42.800 --> 01:04:43.199
Get out?

1209
01:04:43.440 --> 01:04:43.840
Get out?

1210
01:04:44.400 --> 01:04:44.599
Wait?

1211
01:04:44.719 --> 01:04:46.920
Now wait what is this?

1212
01:04:47.199 --> 01:04:47.599
Get out?

1213
01:04:47.760 --> 01:04:48.159
Get out?

1214
01:04:48.440 --> 01:04:48.800
Get out?

1215
01:04:49.079 --> 01:04:49.440
Get out?

1216
01:04:50.159 --> 01:05:02.880
Operator, Get up, get get up? No, this is crazy.

1217
01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:04.559
What is Henry?

1218
01:05:05.039 --> 01:05:05.480
What is it?

1219
01:05:05.599 --> 01:05:05.960
Tell me?

1220
01:05:07.079 --> 01:05:09.440
Sure, I'll tell you it's a crazy gag or something

1221
01:05:10.239 --> 01:05:11.760
I'm carrying out.

1222
01:05:13.199 --> 01:05:16.800
We'll have no more of that nonsense to me.

1223
01:05:16.920 --> 01:05:18.760
I've never seen you this way. What's the matter?

1224
01:05:19.079 --> 01:05:19.360
Nothing?

1225
01:05:19.440 --> 01:05:21.440
Not Now the cord broken off.

1226
01:05:21.480 --> 01:05:24.559
It won't happen again, because it can't happen again. No,

1227
01:05:25.920 --> 01:05:31.079
no is right, Henry?

1228
01:05:31.199 --> 01:05:31.480
Tell me?

1229
01:05:31.599 --> 01:05:36.239
What is what happened on the telephone. How could it

1230
01:05:36.400 --> 01:05:38.719
ring after you couldn't?

1231
01:05:40.559 --> 01:05:43.679
It's impossible, so it didn't.

1232
01:05:45.199 --> 01:05:48.199
Well, we were hearing things.

1233
01:05:48.800 --> 01:05:51.559
Oh no, Henry, you know that isn't so.

1234
01:05:51.840 --> 01:05:53.320
Yes, yes, it has to be you know what I

1235
01:05:53.400 --> 01:05:53.559
know it.

1236
01:05:53.719 --> 01:05:55.880
No, we just we only.

1237
01:05:57.199 --> 01:05:59.360
Now, Lucie, we only thought we heard it ring again,

1238
01:05:59.480 --> 01:06:03.239
That isn't. It has to be anything else simply doesn't

1239
01:06:03.280 --> 01:06:03.800
make sense.

1240
01:06:03.880 --> 01:06:06.639
And you were hearing something on that phone before, weren't you?

1241
01:06:07.119 --> 01:06:07.960
Weren't you? Henry?

1242
01:06:09.320 --> 01:06:09.679
All right?

1243
01:06:11.159 --> 01:06:14.039
Yes, yes, I was hearing something.

1244
01:06:14.039 --> 01:06:19.159
A lot of laughing, chattering, screwy, a lot of little tiny.

1245
01:06:20.599 --> 01:06:24.599
And a woman's voice. Only don't you see it was

1246
01:06:24.639 --> 01:06:26.039
only some practical joker.

1247
01:06:26.119 --> 01:06:27.840
It had to be, No, Henry, I'm afraid.

1248
01:06:27.920 --> 01:06:28.880
No, no, what else could it be?

1249
01:06:29.159 --> 01:06:33.039
Some of your supernatural spirit friends? I suppose, yes, Oh, Lucy, Lucy,

1250
01:06:33.119 --> 01:06:35.320
don't be ridiculous, Henry must listen to you. No, No,

1251
01:06:35.400 --> 01:06:37.199
the whole thing's ridiculous, utterly ridiculous.

1252
01:06:37.199 --> 01:06:38.639
Oh, Henry, you said, a woman's.

1253
01:06:38.320 --> 01:06:40.320
Bulless work, the excitement of getting here, That's all it.

1254
01:06:40.360 --> 01:06:42.239
Is, you said, a woman's voice, Henry.

1255
01:06:42.280 --> 01:06:45.039
Forget it, just forget it, Lucy.

1256
01:06:45.079 --> 01:06:47.280
It's just that we're excited.

1257
01:06:49.199 --> 01:06:49.639
I listened.

1258
01:06:51.000 --> 01:06:54.199
You go out, make a pot of coffee. We'll sit

1259
01:06:54.280 --> 01:06:57.280
down and relax and be real calm about this. We'll

1260
01:06:57.320 --> 01:07:01.480
sit down and we'll calmly. Don't you see we're overwrought,

1261
01:07:01.559 --> 01:07:05.079
we're over worked with all this moving, Lucy, and all

1262
01:07:05.119 --> 01:07:07.119
the excitement that that's.

1263
01:07:06.639 --> 01:07:07.079
All it is.

1264
01:07:09.360 --> 01:07:10.880
Wish to heaven. I could believe its.

1265
01:07:11.199 --> 01:07:14.360
Tell you it's the only possible explanation there can be

1266
01:07:14.480 --> 01:07:18.159
for it, Lucy.

1267
01:07:18.400 --> 01:07:22.360
Just oh, it's all right.

1268
01:07:22.480 --> 01:07:23.199
It's a doorbell.

1269
01:07:25.039 --> 01:07:25.360
Okay?

1270
01:07:25.480 --> 01:07:26.719
Can we please don't answer it?

1271
01:07:27.480 --> 01:07:28.000
There's a bell.

1272
01:07:28.079 --> 01:07:29.360
It makes some sense for a change.

1273
01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:34.480
What if it's just take it easy now? Yeah?

1274
01:07:36.760 --> 01:07:36.920
Huh?

1275
01:07:37.119 --> 01:07:37.440
Can we?

1276
01:07:37.679 --> 01:07:38.400
Can we please?

1277
01:07:42.280 --> 01:07:42.559
It was?

1278
01:07:44.760 --> 01:07:45.559
There was no one there?

1279
01:07:47.239 --> 01:07:47.920
Are you sure?

1280
01:07:48.400 --> 01:07:51.039
Yes, yes, I'm sure. I'm absolutely sure there.

1281
01:07:51.000 --> 01:07:53.320
Was no one there, Henry. Don't you see what this means?

1282
01:07:53.360 --> 01:07:53.480
Then?

1283
01:07:54.280 --> 01:07:55.119
It's this house?

1284
01:07:55.920 --> 01:07:58.119
Oh no, Lucy, No, No, what you're thinking is just

1285
01:07:58.159 --> 01:07:59.400
a lot of crazy superstition.

1286
01:08:00.800 --> 01:08:02.320
You know what it means to this house?

1287
01:08:03.320 --> 01:08:04.760
Hey, I'm gonna find out what it means.

1288
01:08:06.559 --> 01:08:08.800
Yes, Hello, who are your this bell?

1289
01:08:08.840 --> 01:08:09.199
Where are you?

1290
01:08:09.320 --> 01:08:09.719
Who are you?

1291
01:08:10.400 --> 01:08:10.440
No?

1292
01:08:11.679 --> 01:08:11.719
No?

1293
01:08:12.000 --> 01:08:12.760
Do you believe?

1294
01:08:12.920 --> 01:08:12.960
No?

1295
01:08:14.159 --> 01:08:17.039
With there any wet footprints on the porch.

1296
01:08:17.000 --> 01:08:19.159
There wasn't any wet footprints or any dry footprints.

1297
01:08:19.159 --> 01:08:19.880
There wasn't anything.

1298
01:08:20.279 --> 01:08:21.359
It's a warning.

1299
01:08:22.000 --> 01:08:22.800
We've got to leave.

1300
01:08:22.840 --> 01:08:24.640
We've got to get out of beer, out of here.

1301
01:08:24.560 --> 01:08:25.720
Yes now before it's too late.

1302
01:08:25.960 --> 01:08:28.239
Why now, why Lucy? Just because that telephone becrot, some

1303
01:08:28.319 --> 01:08:30.079
crazy voice on it said we should.

1304
01:08:30.119 --> 01:08:30.800
Is that what it said?

1305
01:08:31.239 --> 01:08:34.279
That We've got to because this house is haunted. It's

1306
01:08:34.319 --> 01:08:37.359
full of evil spirit, you know it is.

1307
01:08:37.439 --> 01:08:39.159
And you've got to get over this crazy idea that

1308
01:08:39.199 --> 01:08:41.680
anything that happens anything you can't explain, it's supernatural.

1309
01:08:43.159 --> 01:08:46.960
That's why the phone rang and the doorbell rang, and

1310
01:08:47.079 --> 01:08:48.199
there was nobody there.

1311
01:08:48.960 --> 01:08:51.000
There's some evil, evil spirit.

1312
01:08:51.279 --> 01:08:54.199
No, no, Lucy, no no, it's some practical joke of

1313
01:08:54.239 --> 01:08:56.079
that soul. And I stopped the sun sense hold yourself

1314
01:08:56.119 --> 01:08:56.479
coming on the.

1315
01:08:56.520 --> 01:08:58.399
Rend of solo. Nobody will stay here.

1316
01:08:58.760 --> 01:09:00.960
That's why that age was so so start when you

1317
01:09:01.039 --> 01:09:03.920
told it in the rights, I am Henry, and there

1318
01:09:04.000 --> 01:09:05.560
is something wrong with this place.

1319
01:09:05.920 --> 01:09:07.880
We've got to get out of here. You've got to

1320
01:09:07.960 --> 01:09:08.399
believe it.

1321
01:09:08.600 --> 01:09:09.319
We've got to leave.

1322
01:09:09.479 --> 01:09:10.600
Something terrible will happen.

1323
01:09:10.680 --> 01:09:14.079
And I say, you've got your crazy ideas go. I

1324
01:09:14.119 --> 01:09:15.520
don't know, I don't know what there has to be

1325
01:09:15.640 --> 01:09:18.279
some logical explanation, and I'm not going to let a

1326
01:09:18.319 --> 01:09:19.840
lot of superstitious hogwash.

1327
01:09:21.039 --> 01:09:22.720
Okay, now we tear.

1328
01:09:22.680 --> 01:09:26.239
That thing off the wall, right off the wall.

1329
01:09:27.800 --> 01:09:30.479
Okay, all right here, look at it.

1330
01:09:31.920 --> 01:09:32.439
It stopped.

1331
01:09:33.640 --> 01:09:36.640
Now you listen, Lucy, please please you listen.

1332
01:09:37.359 --> 01:09:39.600
You're only losing your temper refusing to see what this

1333
01:09:39.800 --> 01:09:40.359
really means.

1334
01:09:40.520 --> 01:09:42.600
The storm, the air is full of electricity, the long

1335
01:09:42.640 --> 01:09:45.560
wires that were hooked up with these things, no long

1336
01:09:45.680 --> 01:09:48.000
telephone lines out there. And the lightning. That's what did it.

1337
01:09:48.000 --> 01:09:49.560
And I'll be sensible. We got to keep our heads

1338
01:09:49.600 --> 01:09:50.039
about things.

1339
01:09:50.079 --> 01:09:52.000
The voices you heard, can you explain them?

1340
01:09:52.560 --> 01:09:57.079
Yes, yes I can. The wires got crossed up in

1341
01:09:57.119 --> 01:09:57.920
the wind, and that's all.

1342
01:09:58.119 --> 01:10:01.760
And when it rang again, after our fatigue.

1343
01:10:01.319 --> 01:10:03.399
Our excitement, I tell you we were excited. We only

1344
01:10:03.479 --> 01:10:04.159
thought we heard it.

1345
01:10:04.600 --> 01:10:07.600
No, you're wrong, seez Henry, I'm banking you.

1346
01:10:07.760 --> 01:10:08.399
Let's leave.

1347
01:10:08.960 --> 01:10:12.000
Let's get out of here, go go back into town.

1348
01:10:12.600 --> 01:10:16.199
Some hotels. Look, some hotel in town. Is that's far

1349
01:10:16.319 --> 01:10:17.479
away from the terrible things.

1350
01:10:17.800 --> 01:10:18.880
And I say, why.

1351
01:10:20.640 --> 01:10:21.520
This thing run again?

1352
01:10:21.680 --> 01:10:23.680
Has this doorbell rung again since I ripped it off

1353
01:10:23.720 --> 01:10:26.600
the wall? No, of course it hasn't.

1354
01:10:27.079 --> 01:10:29.159
Let's get out of it, don't you see, honey, what

1355
01:10:29.239 --> 01:10:31.479
all that Guardian angel stuff, all that psychic talk has

1356
01:10:31.520 --> 01:10:31.840
done to you.

1357
01:10:32.600 --> 01:10:34.520
It's made you believe in all this impossible stuff, and

1358
01:10:34.560 --> 01:10:35.399
how it's fighting.

1359
01:10:35.159 --> 01:10:44.359
You because of it. No, Tantine, it's tantine.

1360
01:10:45.920 --> 01:10:46.840
It's impossible.

1361
01:10:48.560 --> 01:10:59.560
Yes, here you are, mister, missus feeling, Room three fourteen.

1362
01:11:00.680 --> 01:11:02.239
I just have these bags here in the rack.

1363
01:11:03.880 --> 01:11:07.199
There you are, sir, Fine, fine, here you are, Thank you, sir.

1364
01:11:07.920 --> 01:11:11.239
Anything else you'd like maybe from room service or something, No, no,

1365
01:11:11.399 --> 01:11:14.039
that'll be all, yes, sir. Oh, well the telephone is

1366
01:11:14.119 --> 01:11:16.319
right there in the night table if you want it telephone.

1367
01:11:16.680 --> 01:11:18.119
Oh, thanks, yes, sir.

1368
01:11:18.640 --> 01:11:20.640
Oh, if you'd like a little news and music, I'll

1369
01:11:20.720 --> 01:11:23.800
put on this radio for you. Fine, take a few

1370
01:11:23.840 --> 01:11:24.680
seconds to warm.

1371
01:11:24.600 --> 01:11:25.479
Up, okay, thank you.

1372
01:11:26.000 --> 01:11:27.760
I don't know how good will be though after that

1373
01:11:27.840 --> 01:11:30.760
big storm we had well, niks, sir, I.

1374
01:11:34.840 --> 01:11:37.800
Feel better, honey, thanks darling.

1375
01:11:39.279 --> 01:11:44.359
I feel a lot safer now, Lucy. You see, I

1376
01:11:44.399 --> 01:11:46.600
still can't help wondering if we weren't a little phyllis

1377
01:11:46.600 --> 01:11:49.920
spitting our imagination running because we were tired.

1378
01:11:49.760 --> 01:11:53.000
And both local and Dorchester County police are making every

1379
01:11:53.079 --> 01:11:57.279
effort to locate on mister and missus Henry Fielding. According

1380
01:11:57.279 --> 01:11:59.439
to our report, they were the new tenants of a

1381
01:11:59.520 --> 01:12:02.079
small hole on the outskirts of the Bell Matter development

1382
01:12:02.159 --> 01:12:04.800
that was struck by lightning during the heavy rain and

1383
01:12:04.880 --> 01:12:08.600
thunderstorm that ended a short while ago. Fortunately there was

1384
01:12:08.680 --> 01:12:11.960
no fire, nor were any other homes in the area affected,

1385
01:12:12.399 --> 01:12:15.000
but that single bolt of lightning struck the Fielding home

1386
01:12:15.079 --> 01:12:18.039
with such force as to completely demolish.

1387
01:12:17.640 --> 01:12:18.239
The living room.

1388
01:12:18.640 --> 01:12:22.359
Neighbor had reported seeing lights on people moving about only

1389
01:12:22.439 --> 01:12:26.119
a few minutes before. However, no sign of either them

1390
01:12:26.520 --> 01:12:29.079
or their car has been found at the scene, and

1391
01:12:29.119 --> 01:12:32.279
it's barely possible that they left before the lightning struck

1392
01:12:32.319 --> 01:12:35.760
cold This has not been confirmed. If they did leave,

1393
01:12:35.880 --> 01:12:38.520
whatever their reason, we can only say it was indeed

1394
01:12:38.640 --> 01:12:42.199
providential they weren't in that house when this catastrophe occurred.

1395
01:12:43.079 --> 01:12:46.079
If anyone has any information as to the whereabouts of

1396
01:12:46.119 --> 01:12:49.880
a mister and Missus Henry Fielding, please notify this station

1397
01:12:50.359 --> 01:12:52.000
or the Dorchester County Police.

1398
01:12:54.520 --> 01:13:01.560
Henry I know Darling Guardian Angel.

1399
01:13:11.479 --> 01:13:12.199
Suspense.

1400
01:13:14.479 --> 01:13:17.800
You've been listening to Bells starring Rosemary Rice and Bill

1401
01:13:17.880 --> 01:13:27.279
Lichton and written especially for suspense by Jack Bundy. Suspense

1402
01:13:27.600 --> 01:13:31.439
is produced and directed by Bruno Zerrato, Junior musical supervision

1403
01:13:31.479 --> 01:13:32.239
by Ethel Huber.

1404
01:13:32.720 --> 01:13:33.840
Heard in Tonight's.

1405
01:13:33.520 --> 01:13:38.159
Story where Tony Darnay, Lawson Serb and Larry Robinson.

1406
01:13:42.039 --> 01:13:47.520
Hmmm, well, I certainly have a lot to think about

1407
01:13:47.680 --> 01:13:52.680
after that one, or what's that? Well, I suppose so,

1408
01:13:54.039 --> 01:13:57.760
but it's likely only a small portion of the picture,

1409
01:13:58.760 --> 01:14:07.760
perhaps or perhaps not. M Sometimes when I look at

1410
01:14:07.840 --> 01:14:14.000
these thick concrete walls, when I'm all alone, all Lowe,

1411
01:14:14.520 --> 01:14:21.359
We're all all alone, I hope. Sometimes instead of feeling

1412
01:14:21.600 --> 01:14:28.520
like I'm a combatant or a captive, I feel more

1413
01:14:28.840 --> 01:14:32.239
like a well, like a career man.

1414
01:14:34.840 --> 01:14:53.199
A signal oil program. The Whistler. That quistom is your

1415
01:14:53.359 --> 01:14:55.279
signal for the Signal Oil Program.

1416
01:14:56.680 --> 01:14:57.319
The Whistler.

1417
01:15:16.680 --> 01:15:20.399
I am the whistler, and I know many things. For

1418
01:15:20.560 --> 01:15:21.439
I walk by night.

1419
01:15:22.079 --> 01:15:25.199
I know many strange tails hidden in the hearts of

1420
01:15:25.319 --> 01:15:28.359
men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes,

1421
01:15:29.159 --> 01:15:32.439
I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak.

1422
01:15:37.800 --> 01:15:41.600
Yes, friends, it's time for the Signal Oil Program. The Whistler,

1423
01:15:42.079 --> 01:15:45.079
rated by independent research the most popular West Coast program

1424
01:15:45.199 --> 01:15:49.439
in radio history and signal gasoline is tops two tops

1425
01:15:49.479 --> 01:15:52.439
in quality. It takes extra quality, you know, to give

1426
01:15:52.439 --> 01:15:55.199
you extra mile age. And signal is the famous go

1427
01:15:55.399 --> 01:15:59.199
farther gasoline. So look for the signal circle sign in

1428
01:15:59.279 --> 01:16:03.319
yellow and black that identifies Friendly Dealer owned signal service

1429
01:16:03.359 --> 01:16:08.640
stations from Canada to Mexico and now the Whistler Strange story.

1430
01:16:09.600 --> 01:16:10.600
Career man.

1431
01:16:20.720 --> 01:16:22.680
Charles Conley was in great form.

1432
01:16:23.199 --> 01:16:25.319
He knew as he spoke that his words were making

1433
01:16:25.359 --> 01:16:29.079
an impression on the twenty important businessmen seated around the

1434
01:16:29.159 --> 01:16:33.119
long oaken table in the conference room. And to Charles Conley,

1435
01:16:33.439 --> 01:16:36.039
the impression was the thing he wanted to achieve. The

1436
01:16:36.119 --> 01:16:38.319
speech itself only the means to the end.

1437
01:16:38.479 --> 01:16:41.399
Kilous to blame our police forces for the current epidemic

1438
01:16:41.479 --> 01:16:44.760
of traffic accidents. It's too big a job for any

1439
01:16:44.800 --> 01:16:47.520
police force to control the number of cars on the

1440
01:16:47.600 --> 01:16:48.159
road today.

1441
01:16:48.880 --> 01:16:51.039
But reckless driving must stop.

1442
01:16:51.760 --> 01:16:54.199
And that's why each and every one of us, as

1443
01:16:54.319 --> 01:16:58.119
self appointed citizen police, must cooperate in bringing to a.

1444
01:16:58.239 --> 01:16:59.880
Halt the wave alone.

1445
01:17:08.920 --> 01:17:13.520
Twenty important men, Charles, twenty business leaders, and you're making

1446
01:17:13.600 --> 01:17:16.319
the most of a heaven sand opportunity to impress them.

1447
01:17:16.840 --> 01:17:19.439
And when it's over, the applause tells you that the

1448
01:17:19.560 --> 01:17:23.439
message struck home, right down to the last hypocritical word.

1449
01:17:23.840 --> 01:17:27.239
Thank you. But George Charles, you certainly told us. Thank you,

1450
01:17:27.359 --> 01:17:29.359
mister Fraser. And I'm going to tell that boss of

1451
01:17:29.439 --> 01:17:31.439
yours he should have been here tonight. He ought to

1452
01:17:31.520 --> 01:17:32.720
know what kind of a man he has.

1453
01:17:32.680 --> 01:17:33.479
In his organization.

1454
01:17:33.560 --> 01:17:36.479
Well, that's very kind of you, mister Fraser. Very I'm

1455
01:17:36.520 --> 01:17:39.199
out at all. You deserve something for these ideas of yours.

1456
01:17:39.560 --> 01:17:40.520
I am going to talk to him.

1457
01:17:40.520 --> 01:17:41.159
To moordew.

1458
01:17:49.840 --> 01:17:52.279
Sound's wonderful child. I wish I could have been there.

1459
01:17:52.359 --> 01:17:53.840
I wish you could have been too, Silla.

1460
01:17:54.439 --> 01:17:57.000
I tell you I've been waiting years for this moment.

1461
01:17:57.000 --> 01:18:00.359
The biggest man in town with him, wonderful child. But dear,

1462
01:18:01.239 --> 01:18:02.840
don't you think we should go home now?

1463
01:18:03.039 --> 01:18:06.680
It's late, in the middle of our celebration. We're going

1464
01:18:06.760 --> 01:18:09.439
to have another drink. No, I don't care, Harry, you're neglecting.

1465
01:18:09.520 --> 01:18:11.800
I'm right there, child, You've had enough.

1466
01:18:11.880 --> 01:18:12.800
I don't be fool.

1467
01:18:14.640 --> 01:18:15.399
Always worrying.

1468
01:18:16.239 --> 01:18:17.680
It was the same when I got mixed up in

1469
01:18:17.720 --> 01:18:19.640
that trial last year against Bonnie Cole.

1470
01:18:20.199 --> 01:18:21.520
You thought I was bullies then too.

1471
01:18:22.279 --> 01:18:24.319
I didn't want anything to happen to you. That's all.

1472
01:18:25.279 --> 01:18:27.439
I wouldn't testify against anyone.

1473
01:18:27.199 --> 01:18:27.800
Unless I was.

1474
01:18:28.600 --> 01:18:31.000
It was no good, Sheila. He deserved what he got, and.

1475
01:18:33.079 --> 01:18:36.039
You moved forward another step in your career.

1476
01:18:36.239 --> 01:18:39.359
No, no spoilered, Sheila. You should have been there tonight

1477
01:18:39.399 --> 01:18:42.079
and heard my speech. Nothing can stop me now.

1478
01:18:42.199 --> 01:18:44.640
Oh I wish you weren't counting on that promotion so much.

1479
01:18:45.560 --> 01:18:46.840
I'd hate to see you're disappointed.

1480
01:18:47.439 --> 01:18:49.760
Not a chance that they liked me, Shela.

1481
01:18:49.840 --> 01:18:50.520
Everybody there.

1482
01:18:51.039 --> 01:18:53.000
When it gets back to the company, I must sinch

1483
01:18:53.039 --> 01:18:55.600
for a vice presidency. But yes, mister Coning, oh too,

1484
01:18:55.640 --> 01:18:56.479
more of the same, Harry.

1485
01:18:56.720 --> 01:18:57.800
No, we're leaving.

1486
01:18:58.159 --> 01:19:00.720
Oh wait a minute, storm's my it's worse than it was,

1487
01:19:00.800 --> 01:19:01.439
mister Conley.

1488
01:19:01.760 --> 01:19:04.520
Yes, nobody's asking you. I know my capacity.

1489
01:19:04.680 --> 01:19:07.039
But Charles, we have such a long drive and lots

1490
01:19:07.079 --> 01:19:09.720
of cops out tonight, mister con is this a conspiracy?

1491
01:19:10.359 --> 01:19:12.960
I said I wanted to drink missus Conny in such

1492
01:19:13.000 --> 01:19:14.600
a hurry. She can go home alone.

1493
01:19:15.960 --> 01:19:33.960
No, bring him whatever he wants, Harry. I'll wait, Charles.

1494
01:19:34.880 --> 01:19:35.800
I've got my eye.

1495
01:19:36.520 --> 01:19:38.439
I was in the ditch show down, Charles.

1496
01:19:38.520 --> 01:19:42.039
Please, we're not going said the more careful.

1497
01:19:45.119 --> 01:19:47.359
Oh, I wish you'd let me drive, not.

1498
01:19:47.520 --> 01:19:48.199
In this storm.

1499
01:19:49.000 --> 01:19:50.000
I know what I'm doing.

1500
01:19:51.439 --> 01:19:53.840
Oh, we shouldn't have stayed so long. This time is

1501
01:19:53.920 --> 01:19:54.439
much worse.

1502
01:19:54.600 --> 01:20:01.119
Will you stop complaining? Only about a half miles ago, but.

1503
01:20:01.199 --> 01:20:04.399
In all this, Brion, child, you've got to slow down.

1504
01:20:04.479 --> 01:20:07.159
I can't, Joe's look, there's.

1505
01:20:06.960 --> 01:20:07.720
A man on the road.

1506
01:20:07.760 --> 01:20:08.319
You got ahead.

1507
01:20:18.960 --> 01:20:21.560
But it's too late, isn't it, child? Too late for

1508
01:20:21.680 --> 01:20:24.159
the man in front of your speeding car to jump clear.

1509
01:20:24.680 --> 01:20:28.319
There's a helpless, skidding sensation with the car lurches across

1510
01:20:28.359 --> 01:20:31.039
the wet pavement, and then a sickening thud.

1511
01:20:31.600 --> 01:20:34.119
A moment later, you're out of the car, righting back

1512
01:20:34.199 --> 01:20:34.800
to the dark car.

1513
01:20:36.840 --> 01:20:39.039
Sorry, old man, I'm sorry. Here here, let me help.

1514
01:20:39.520 --> 01:20:42.640
How are you hurt? Good lord?

1515
01:20:45.720 --> 01:20:46.920
What is the child's here?

1516
01:20:48.359 --> 01:20:48.560
Oh?

1517
01:20:50.119 --> 01:20:55.119
Instead, there's nothing we can do for it. Oh, you

1518
01:20:55.239 --> 01:20:56.079
better get back in the car.

1519
01:20:57.119 --> 01:20:59.720
What are we going to do? You'll have to report

1520
01:20:59.760 --> 01:21:02.359
it away and they'll know you've been drinking.

1521
01:21:02.600 --> 01:21:03.319
Get back in the car.

1522
01:21:03.359 --> 01:21:07.079
Shit, if only you'd listen to me, Charles, What are

1523
01:21:07.119 --> 01:21:07.560
you going to do?

1524
01:21:09.720 --> 01:21:13.239
They're not going to find him here, Sheila, not tonight.

1525
01:21:14.600 --> 01:21:15.800
But you can't move him.

1526
01:21:16.359 --> 01:21:18.079
I'm not recording anything. The police can look up their

1527
01:21:18.119 --> 01:21:20.640
own story. Don't you realize what it would mean? My

1528
01:21:20.880 --> 01:21:22.720
chances with the company may be ruined.

1529
01:21:22.960 --> 01:21:23.720
It was an accident.

1530
01:21:23.800 --> 01:21:25.600
We schell know I've been drinking. You said, so yourself.

1531
01:21:26.279 --> 01:21:28.520
Go on shell back to the car. I'll take care

1532
01:21:28.520 --> 01:21:28.640
of this.

1533
01:21:28.880 --> 01:21:30.960
You'll only make it worse charge if ever they.

1534
01:21:30.880 --> 01:21:31.720
Find out you won't.

1535
01:21:32.000 --> 01:21:34.439
Now go on, dos, I say, Sheila, We haven't all

1536
01:21:34.560 --> 01:21:35.479
night charga.

1537
01:21:37.119 --> 01:21:40.000
All right, I'll wait in the car.

1538
01:21:43.239 --> 01:21:46.920
You watch uncertainly as Sheila turns starts back through the

1539
01:21:47.000 --> 01:21:50.279
rain to the car. Somehow you're not at all sure

1540
01:21:50.359 --> 01:21:53.079
of her, are you, child But you're sure of what

1541
01:21:53.199 --> 01:21:55.520
you must do, And you turn and lift the limp

1542
01:21:55.640 --> 01:21:58.520
form of the man you struck, carry it across a narrow,

1543
01:21:58.720 --> 01:22:02.079
rain filled ditch to a thick growth of bushes, ease

1544
01:22:02.159 --> 01:22:04.680
it in behind them. If he's found here in a

1545
01:22:04.720 --> 01:22:07.359
week or a few days, it won't matter, will it, childs,

1546
01:22:07.880 --> 01:22:12.039
because they'll never connect it with tonight. And you, walking

1547
01:22:12.159 --> 01:22:14.720
back to the car, you're thankful that it happened the

1548
01:22:14.760 --> 01:22:17.800
way out here in the country. You're thankful too, that

1549
01:22:17.920 --> 01:22:20.479
you're so close to home, and that it's pouring rain.

1550
01:22:21.000 --> 01:22:23.840
There'll be no tell tale footprints at tire marks in

1551
01:22:23.920 --> 01:22:24.319
the morning.

1552
01:22:28.479 --> 01:22:33.479
Charles, Yes, I'm afraid we're doing wrong.

1553
01:22:33.680 --> 01:22:36.399
Charm forget it. It's all over.

1554
01:22:47.039 --> 01:22:50.600
He still see you lay about it, no one else.

1555
01:22:50.760 --> 01:22:55.720
I'm just pretend it never happened, Shela. That's the best way.

1556
01:23:03.199 --> 01:23:06.079
It's easy to say, isn't a child that it never happened.

1557
01:23:06.399 --> 01:23:08.079
But it did happen, and.

1558
01:23:08.159 --> 01:23:09.760
You can't shut it out of your mind.

1559
01:23:09.800 --> 01:23:13.359
When you and Sheila reach home, you toss nervously in bed,

1560
01:23:14.000 --> 01:23:16.960
reliving the accident over and over again in your mind,

1561
01:23:17.720 --> 01:23:20.760
wondering if you'll get away with it so, wondering if

1562
01:23:20.840 --> 01:23:24.560
Sheila is going to be a problem. She didn't say much,

1563
01:23:24.680 --> 01:23:27.600
did she, Charles. You wish you could see if she's

1564
01:23:27.680 --> 01:23:30.520
lying awake now thinking the kind of thoughts that you

1565
01:23:30.600 --> 01:23:34.800
are thinking, wild turbulent thoughts, like the storm that continues

1566
01:23:34.840 --> 01:23:49.760
to rage all night long. At last, you drift into

1567
01:23:49.800 --> 01:23:53.079
a deep sleep. When you awaken, the sun is shining,

1568
01:23:53.439 --> 01:23:56.960
streaming in through the windows. The sky is brilliant and clear.

1569
01:23:57.439 --> 01:24:01.239
The storm has passed. You dress her, go down to breakfast.

1570
01:24:01.800 --> 01:24:04.640
You can hear Sheila moving about in the kitchen. Wait

1571
01:24:04.760 --> 01:24:06.039
for what she's going to say.

1572
01:24:08.319 --> 01:24:15.800
Good morning, Charles, Good morning dear. Breakfast ready in a minute.

1573
01:24:16.760 --> 01:24:26.159
Here are fors and coffee, Charles. In case you've been

1574
01:24:26.319 --> 01:24:31.399
wondering about what stand I'm going to take, you know

1575
01:24:31.479 --> 01:24:32.039
that I love.

1576
01:24:31.920 --> 01:24:33.479
You very much, of course I know.

1577
01:24:33.800 --> 01:24:36.920
So that's all there is to with Charles. You needn't

1578
01:24:36.960 --> 01:24:44.000
worry about anything, not ever. I I think my mind

1579
01:24:44.039 --> 01:24:44.960
has been made up.

1580
01:24:44.920 --> 01:24:46.159
For a long time, Sheila.

1581
01:24:46.880 --> 01:24:47.800
You don't understand.

1582
01:24:47.960 --> 01:24:53.279
It's just that I had dreams once, Charles, about what

1583
01:24:53.399 --> 01:24:57.600
we were going to do, where we were going together.

1584
01:24:58.000 --> 01:25:02.039
And don't you worry about us. We're still going places he.

1585
01:25:02.079 --> 01:25:05.119
Has, Charles, wherever you want us to go.

1586
01:25:05.880 --> 01:25:06.680
It isn't just me.

1587
01:25:07.039 --> 01:25:10.279
It's all right you really, it's been all right for

1588
01:25:10.359 --> 01:25:14.279
a long time. I guess I only became aware of

1589
01:25:14.359 --> 01:25:14.960
it last night.

1590
01:25:17.640 --> 01:25:18.880
You're not unhappy.

1591
01:25:19.840 --> 01:25:23.159
I'm your wife, Charles. I want to be with you,

1592
01:25:23.960 --> 01:25:24.399
to help you.

1593
01:25:26.439 --> 01:25:27.520
Surely you're wonderful.

1594
01:25:29.720 --> 01:25:29.880
You know.

1595
01:25:30.159 --> 01:25:33.079
I was nervous about you for a while.

1596
01:25:34.039 --> 01:25:36.000
You can forget it now, I know.

1597
01:25:38.399 --> 01:25:39.600
Well, let's have breakfast.

1598
01:25:39.680 --> 01:25:41.359
Nothing like well.

1599
01:25:42.680 --> 01:25:43.880
Company charge.

1600
01:25:43.880 --> 01:25:47.119
You don't suppose sense it probably mail care.

1601
01:25:47.279 --> 01:25:48.399
It's a Sunday there's no mail, and.

1602
01:25:48.760 --> 01:25:53.199
Then perhaps it's our good neighbor, mister Carson. I'm afraid

1603
01:25:53.279 --> 01:25:56.920
there's no need to be not since we understand one another.

1604
01:25:58.399 --> 01:26:03.600
Just relaxed, Gona she what is.

1605
01:26:09.680 --> 01:26:09.880
Yes?

1606
01:26:10.359 --> 01:26:11.079
Missus Conway?

1607
01:26:13.399 --> 01:26:13.840
Who is it?

1608
01:26:14.399 --> 01:26:14.680
Cally?

1609
01:26:15.319 --> 01:26:21.000
Well, it's an officer, dear, a state highway patrol.

1610
01:26:29.640 --> 01:26:33.199
With the prologue of career man. The Signal Oil Company

1611
01:26:33.319 --> 01:26:39.159
is bringing you another strange story by the whistler. But

1612
01:26:39.319 --> 01:26:42.239
first some facts for drivers about an item for which

1613
01:26:42.279 --> 01:26:46.720
you spend about one hundred dollars a year gasoline. To

1614
01:26:46.840 --> 01:26:49.600
make sure you're choosing for your car, the gasoline that

1615
01:26:49.680 --> 01:26:52.399
stops in quality. There are just two things to remember.

1616
01:26:53.239 --> 01:26:56.359
One in gasoline, it takes extra quality to go farther.

1617
01:26:56.960 --> 01:27:01.079
And two, Signal is the famous go farther gasoline. Yes,

1618
01:27:01.159 --> 01:27:04.800
it's a fact. Myling is the best yardstick of gasoline quality.

1619
01:27:05.119 --> 01:27:07.960
And I'll tell you why. It's only one way any

1620
01:27:08.039 --> 01:27:12.000
gasoline can put superior performance and extra driving pleasure into

1621
01:27:12.039 --> 01:27:15.840
your car. That's by helping your motor run more efficiently.

1622
01:27:16.640 --> 01:27:19.640
And when your motor runs more efficiently, naturally you see

1623
01:27:19.680 --> 01:27:22.439
proof of it on your speedometer in mile age. The

1624
01:27:22.720 --> 01:27:24.920
very thing Signal gasoline is famous for.

1625
01:27:26.319 --> 01:27:27.319
So there you have it.

1626
01:27:27.680 --> 01:27:30.960
The reason we're so proud of signals good mileage, which

1627
01:27:30.960 --> 01:27:34.000
has made Signal gasoline known from Canada to Mexico as

1628
01:27:34.079 --> 01:27:38.720
the go farther gasoline, and the reason we say to

1629
01:27:38.840 --> 01:27:41.720
be sure of the tops in gasoline quality. There are

1630
01:27:41.800 --> 01:27:45.319
just two things to remember. One in gasoline, it takes

1631
01:27:45.479 --> 01:27:49.880
extra quality to go farther. And two, Signal is the

1632
01:27:49.960 --> 01:27:54.479
famous go farther gasoline. Now back to the whistler.

1633
01:28:16.000 --> 01:28:19.000
Well, Charles, it seems like it's all over, doesn't it.

1634
01:28:19.720 --> 01:28:22.720
You stand there, the State Highway patrolman at your door,

1635
01:28:23.159 --> 01:28:24.880
your mind groping for answers.

1636
01:28:25.279 --> 01:28:26.479
How could he know so soon?

1637
01:28:27.199 --> 01:28:28.920
How could he have found the body of the man

1638
01:28:29.000 --> 01:28:32.119
you ran down last night in the storm. It doesn't

1639
01:28:32.159 --> 01:28:33.920
seem possible, does it, Charles?

1640
01:28:34.560 --> 01:28:37.439
And yet the patrolman is here, and you can't think

1641
01:28:37.479 --> 01:28:39.439
of a single other reason that would bring him to

1642
01:28:39.520 --> 01:28:39.960
your door.

1643
01:28:40.720 --> 01:28:43.680
I wonder if I could step inside, missus Conley.

1644
01:28:44.920 --> 01:28:49.600
Yes, of course, as Cela lets him in. You can

1645
01:28:49.680 --> 01:28:52.439
only think of one thing, Charles, your career and how

1646
01:28:52.479 --> 01:28:53.720
it's about to be destroyed.

1647
01:28:54.319 --> 01:28:57.199
You'll never get that promotion, now, will you? Your big

1648
01:28:57.319 --> 01:29:01.159
speech last night on reckless driving alone alongside the accusation

1649
01:29:01.319 --> 01:29:04.039
that the patrolman is about to make will sound like

1650
01:29:04.279 --> 01:29:05.920
mocker Charles.

1651
01:29:06.439 --> 01:29:09.479
This is Donovan, Sergeant Donovan, the police.

1652
01:29:10.199 --> 01:29:12.760
But what oh, I didn't intend to alarm you folks,

1653
01:29:13.159 --> 01:29:16.079
just thought he and your wife would help us, help you. Yes,

1654
01:29:16.199 --> 01:29:18.399
it was an accident last night out on the highway.

1655
01:29:18.960 --> 01:29:20.319
A man was run over and killed.

1656
01:29:21.520 --> 01:29:24.000
An accident. We didn't hear anything.

1657
01:29:24.199 --> 01:29:27.000
Well, with the storm and all, it's quite possible you didn't,

1658
01:29:27.960 --> 01:29:29.399
were you, folks seeing all evening?

1659
01:29:29.520 --> 01:29:30.479
No, no, we weren't.

1660
01:29:30.520 --> 01:29:34.079
I I made a speech on safety at a conference

1661
01:29:34.119 --> 01:29:37.239
in town. Missus Conley met me afterwards and we drove home.

1662
01:29:37.479 --> 01:29:41.279
I say, you didn't notice anything unusual past anyone on

1663
01:29:41.359 --> 01:29:41.840
the highway?

1664
01:29:41.880 --> 01:29:42.199
Perhaps?

1665
01:29:42.279 --> 01:29:42.319
No?

1666
01:29:42.600 --> 01:29:45.319
It was raining so hard, was it? Childs had to

1667
01:29:45.399 --> 01:29:47.359
drive so slowly and carefully.

1668
01:29:47.640 --> 01:29:48.479
Yes, I understand.

1669
01:29:49.520 --> 01:29:54.000
Did they identify the men? Yes, his name was John Martin.

1670
01:29:54.359 --> 01:29:57.239
You didn't know him, did you, John Martin?

1671
01:29:58.079 --> 01:30:00.680
No, we thought he might have been visiting someone in

1672
01:30:00.680 --> 01:30:02.880
the neighborhood, or checking every place along the road.

1673
01:30:03.039 --> 01:30:07.000
I see, Well, sorry about you, folks, I'm sorry we

1674
01:30:07.079 --> 01:30:07.600
can't help.

1675
01:30:08.159 --> 01:30:12.520
Thanks, mister Conway hope I don't have to stop by again.

1676
01:30:12.600 --> 01:30:16.840
Or any time. It's uh, perfectly all right.

1677
01:30:22.479 --> 01:30:25.720
As suddenly as the state policeman came, he's gone, and

1678
01:30:25.880 --> 01:30:28.760
a surge of relief sweeps over you. You sink down

1679
01:30:28.800 --> 01:30:31.199
in the living room sofa. Your knee is weak from

1680
01:30:31.239 --> 01:30:34.600
the strain of the officer's visit. And then a new

1681
01:30:34.720 --> 01:30:38.039
thought hits you. His manner so casual, a matter of fact,

1682
01:30:38.640 --> 01:30:41.000
you wonder if he actually suspects and it is trying

1683
01:30:41.039 --> 01:30:41.760
to draw you out.

1684
01:30:42.159 --> 01:30:46.920
You hurry to the front window. I don't like it, Chila,

1685
01:30:47.119 --> 01:30:48.600
the way that officer acted.

1686
01:30:48.760 --> 01:30:50.760
He seemed perfectly naturally rightful.

1687
01:30:53.079 --> 01:30:56.960
Yeah, here's he is, stopping again, checking all the houses.

1688
01:30:57.239 --> 01:30:57.479
Charge.

1689
01:30:57.520 --> 01:30:59.600
It's simply that it's on your mind. You've got to

1690
01:30:59.640 --> 01:31:00.800
stop thinking about it.

1691
01:31:02.119 --> 01:31:06.920
Oh, you're right, dear, Thanks Sheila, Thanks for standing by me.

1692
01:31:08.800 --> 01:31:18.159
I just hope they won't be back. It's only ten o'clock.

1693
01:31:19.159 --> 01:31:20.560
Can't we go for a drive or something?

1694
01:31:20.720 --> 01:31:22.840
All right, Joels, I'll get my car.

1695
01:31:23.000 --> 01:31:24.800
I can't stand being cooped up in this house any

1696
01:31:24.880 --> 01:31:28.079
LONGA chill, What is it?

1697
01:31:28.600 --> 01:31:29.039
They're back?

1698
01:31:29.880 --> 01:31:30.079
Look?

1699
01:31:30.319 --> 01:31:31.359
Look another patrol car.

1700
01:31:31.920 --> 01:31:32.600
What does it mean?

1701
01:31:32.720 --> 01:31:33.159
I was right?

1702
01:31:33.199 --> 01:31:35.560
They do suspect something. They're trying to break us down.

1703
01:31:35.800 --> 01:31:36.760
Sure, they wouldn't do that.

1704
01:31:36.960 --> 01:31:38.960
We can't admit anything no matter what happens.

1705
01:31:39.039 --> 01:31:39.760
Remember that, Sheila.

1706
01:31:40.079 --> 01:31:42.600
If you still want to go out, we could take

1707
01:31:42.600 --> 01:31:43.039
the back room.

1708
01:31:43.119 --> 01:31:45.119
No, I will keep the car in the garage.

1709
01:31:45.319 --> 01:31:46.560
There might have been tire marks.

1710
01:31:46.399 --> 01:31:47.640
Or something, you know, all that rule.

1711
01:31:47.720 --> 01:31:49.479
I don't want to take a chance. And we got

1712
01:31:49.560 --> 01:31:51.640
to stay here. Sheila, act as if nothing is wrong.

1713
01:31:51.840 --> 01:31:53.079
It's the only thing to do now.

1714
01:32:00.079 --> 01:32:02.920
Mhm, Yes, Charles, it's the only thing to do.

1715
01:32:03.640 --> 01:32:07.600
But it isn't easy waiting, pacing the floor, going back

1716
01:32:07.680 --> 01:32:11.239
and forth to the window, wondering, racking your brain for

1717
01:32:11.399 --> 01:32:14.680
some other reason for those police cars. As the hours

1718
01:32:14.800 --> 01:32:18.000
moved by, the pressure begins to tell on you. Ans, Sheila,

1719
01:32:18.439 --> 01:32:21.880
you almost want to run outside, scream at them, ask them.

1720
01:32:21.760 --> 01:32:25.159
Why they're there, what they're waiting for? As it begins

1721
01:32:25.239 --> 01:32:27.520
to grow dark, it's Sheila who gives way first.

1722
01:32:28.319 --> 01:32:30.159
Don't I can't send that. We got to talk to him.

1723
01:32:31.159 --> 01:32:33.000
It's like I told you last night. We should have

1724
01:32:33.039 --> 01:32:34.840
gotten to the police and told him it was an accident.

1725
01:32:36.680 --> 01:32:40.399
Do you want them to hear us? Just quiet?

1726
01:32:48.279 --> 01:32:52.279
Oh, we're all unnerved, Sheila. It's only Frank Williams.

1727
01:32:54.239 --> 01:32:54.640
That's right.

1728
01:32:56.039 --> 01:33:02.800
Let him in. Well, good evening, Frank, evening, mister Conley.

1729
01:33:02.840 --> 01:33:05.560
Come in, Frank, don't stand outside.

1730
01:33:05.720 --> 01:33:09.199
Oh hello, missus Conley. Oh thank you. I will step

1731
01:33:09.279 --> 01:33:13.680
in for a minute or two. Was there something special

1732
01:33:13.840 --> 01:33:14.319
you wanted?

1733
01:33:15.159 --> 01:33:16.760
Anything wrong with the Carsons?

1734
01:33:16.840 --> 01:33:18.239
Oh no, Missus Conley.

1735
01:33:18.479 --> 01:33:22.720
Things are fine over there, all right, if I sit down,

1736
01:33:22.840 --> 01:33:26.359
I suppose something on your mind.

1737
01:33:26.680 --> 01:33:30.279
Uh huh? Turkey is, mister Conley? Turkeys? I lost one

1738
01:33:30.399 --> 01:33:31.399
last night in storm?

1739
01:33:31.600 --> 01:33:31.720
Oh?

1740
01:33:33.039 --> 01:33:35.079
Oh what a shame, isn't it.

1741
01:33:36.399 --> 01:33:41.000
Oh well, no matter, I ran across something that'll make

1742
01:33:41.079 --> 01:33:42.600
up for it. Oh, I'm glad to hear that.

1743
01:33:43.039 --> 01:33:46.640
Yes, mister Conley, you know you folks are well thought

1744
01:33:46.720 --> 01:33:49.199
about here. The Carsons think you're a fine neighbor.

1745
01:33:49.520 --> 01:33:50.720
That's nice to hear.

1746
01:33:50.920 --> 01:33:51.199
Frank.

1747
01:33:51.399 --> 01:33:54.079
You should have heard how they praised you to the police.

1748
01:33:55.880 --> 01:33:58.000
I suppose they dropped.

1749
01:33:57.720 --> 01:33:58.119
In on you.

1750
01:33:58.920 --> 01:34:01.840
Oh the accident last night? Yeah, because the police were here.

1751
01:34:01.960 --> 01:34:06.239
Certainly are curious bunch, aren't they. I hate to let

1752
01:34:06.319 --> 01:34:12.279
them go on wasting their time and don't understand. All right,

1753
01:34:12.359 --> 01:34:14.399
mister Connelly, I'll make the picture clear for you and

1754
01:34:14.439 --> 01:34:17.279
I'll get right to the point. I dropped by to

1755
01:34:17.359 --> 01:34:19.359
ask you for five thousand dollars.

1756
01:34:20.359 --> 01:34:23.520
True, if you any idea what he means?

1757
01:34:23.840 --> 01:34:25.399
I and.

1758
01:34:27.159 --> 01:34:29.039
Just what am I buying?

1759
01:34:29.640 --> 01:34:29.760
Right?

1760
01:34:30.560 --> 01:34:35.000
Well, let's say a turkey, mister Connley, the one that

1761
01:34:35.159 --> 01:34:37.720
got away last night, and he got hit on the road.

1762
01:34:38.359 --> 01:34:43.079
But it wasn't the only thing that got hit. You were, Yeah,

1763
01:34:43.239 --> 01:34:45.239
I'm out there looking around at the time.

1764
01:34:46.640 --> 01:34:48.319
Oh, poor mister Martin.

1765
01:34:48.439 --> 01:34:49.279
You know it's a shit.

1766
01:34:49.399 --> 01:34:50.159
It was an accident.

1767
01:34:50.239 --> 01:34:51.039
Can you understand that?

1768
01:34:51.159 --> 01:34:53.600
Of course it was only only you.

1769
01:34:53.800 --> 01:34:57.560
You didn't leave it there. I couldn't afford your position. Oh, certainly,

1770
01:34:57.680 --> 01:35:00.960
mister Conney, that's sir. That's what made me think that

1771
01:35:01.079 --> 01:35:05.640
you'd understand my position losing that turkey. I thought that

1772
01:35:05.800 --> 01:35:08.560
we could be neighborly about the whole thing, you know,

1773
01:35:09.079 --> 01:35:10.159
helpful to one another.

1774
01:35:10.239 --> 01:35:13.319
You see, mister Carson will take the turkey out of

1775
01:35:13.399 --> 01:35:13.880
my side.

1776
01:35:15.000 --> 01:35:15.720
You can't get away.

1777
01:35:15.800 --> 01:35:17.960
If I can't, then mister Connay can't get away with

1778
01:35:18.079 --> 01:35:18.720
it and run by.

1779
01:35:18.920 --> 01:35:29.560
Why you telephone, mister Conley, you'd better answer it. Oh,

1780
01:35:31.199 --> 01:35:42.399
just be a minute. I'll be right here, mister Conway. Yes, hello, Charles,

1781
01:35:42.520 --> 01:35:43.880
this is manager Are you all right?

1782
01:35:44.720 --> 01:35:45.239
What do you mean?

1783
01:35:45.640 --> 01:35:46.239
Am I all right?

1784
01:35:46.439 --> 01:35:48.199
I thought i'd better tip you off. It seems I

1785
01:35:48.399 --> 01:35:51.479
was right about Bonnie Cole. Cole, it's that day at

1786
01:35:51.520 --> 01:35:53.880
the trial when he said he'd get you. What are

1787
01:35:53.920 --> 01:35:55.600
you talking about keeping it out.

1788
01:35:55.520 --> 01:35:57.399
Of the papers? But he broke out of jail.

1789
01:35:57.680 --> 01:35:58.840
I suppose you've noticed.

1790
01:35:58.600 --> 01:35:59.880
The police around the police.

1791
01:36:01.560 --> 01:36:03.600
Oh yes, they've been passing up and down in front

1792
01:36:03.640 --> 01:36:04.399
of the house all day.

1793
01:36:04.479 --> 01:36:07.039
Oh good, you can be thankful, Charles. They're doing it

1794
01:36:07.119 --> 01:36:11.680
to protect you what they didn't want to alarm your wife.

1795
01:36:11.760 --> 01:36:13.840
But I thought you'd feel better knowing about it.

1796
01:36:14.680 --> 01:36:20.159
Oh yes, thanks a lot. I do feel better.

1797
01:36:24.600 --> 01:36:27.319
You stand there for a moment after hanging up the phone,

1798
01:36:27.479 --> 01:36:28.239
and then it hits you.

1799
01:36:28.920 --> 01:36:30.920
It's perfect, isn't the childs The.

1800
01:36:31.000 --> 01:36:34.560
Police there to protect you, Barney Cole determined to kill

1801
01:36:34.640 --> 01:36:37.359
you for sending in the jails. And only one man

1802
01:36:37.439 --> 01:36:40.439
who knows the truth about your hit and run accident, Charles,

1803
01:36:41.000 --> 01:36:44.199
one man who can ruin you forever, Rip the career

1804
01:36:44.279 --> 01:36:47.920
you've struggled for out of your hands. The gun feels

1805
01:36:48.000 --> 01:36:49.960
comfortable in your hands as you take it from the

1806
01:36:50.039 --> 01:36:53.960
death drawer, start slowly back to the living room, running

1807
01:36:54.000 --> 01:36:57.600
over the story. You'll tell the police the unguarded back road,

1808
01:36:58.039 --> 01:37:01.079
Barney Cole approaching the house on scene in the darkness,

1809
01:37:01.479 --> 01:37:03.039
bent only on vengeance.

1810
01:37:03.880 --> 01:37:05.560
It all fits, doesn't a child?

1811
01:37:06.000 --> 01:37:08.199
And as you walk back into the room, the gun

1812
01:37:08.319 --> 01:37:12.279
carefully concealed in one hand at your side, you know exactly.

1813
01:37:11.960 --> 01:37:29.079
What to do, Frank, Yes, mister Connelly about that turkey. Yes,

1814
01:37:30.279 --> 01:37:34.880
you said, five thousand dollars. Seems a fair enough price

1815
01:37:34.960 --> 01:37:42.640
to me. And if I decide not to buy, well,

1816
01:37:42.840 --> 01:37:43.840
in that case.

1817
01:37:43.680 --> 01:37:48.640
It's updust public spirited citizens to see that things like

1818
01:37:48.720 --> 01:37:49.600
this report it.

1819
01:37:50.520 --> 01:37:52.039
Oh, doctor, you are duty you.

1820
01:37:52.079 --> 01:37:56.479
Know, yes, I know, only you A little later, Frank,

1821
01:37:57.199 --> 01:37:59.800
look at the window, the window, Why don't see.

1822
01:38:02.600 --> 01:38:04.479
It's our only way option O.

1823
01:38:04.600 --> 01:38:05.079
Listen to me.

1824
01:38:05.520 --> 01:38:06.640
We haven't much time.

1825
01:38:15.920 --> 01:38:17.840
The whistler will return in just a moment with a

1826
01:38:17.920 --> 01:38:22.159
strange ending to tonight's story. Meantime, in place of the

1827
01:38:22.199 --> 01:38:25.880
message about Signal Gasoline usually heard at this point, Signal

1828
01:38:25.920 --> 01:38:28.159
Oil Company has asked me to devote this time to

1829
01:38:28.279 --> 01:38:32.640
a chat with you about the community chest drive. Oh, Frankly,

1830
01:38:32.720 --> 01:38:36.479
I'm sure there's very little that needs say. Everyone benefits

1831
01:38:36.520 --> 01:38:39.439
from the community chess almost one out of every two

1832
01:38:39.560 --> 01:38:44.039
families directly, the rest of us indirectly through better community conditions.

1833
01:38:45.039 --> 01:38:49.800
Community chess services include clinics, hospitals, maternity homes and day nurseries,

1834
01:38:50.880 --> 01:38:55.119
Children's Aid, Boy and Girl Scouts, Campfire Girls, The YMCA

1835
01:38:55.239 --> 01:39:00.439
and YWCA also aid to the handicap, Home for the Agent,

1836
01:39:00.560 --> 01:39:04.720
the Salvation Army, countless other worthy institutions too numerous to

1837
01:39:04.840 --> 01:39:09.800
mention here. And who pays for all these services? Everyone

1838
01:39:09.880 --> 01:39:12.399
who is fortunate enough to have a penny or a

1839
01:39:12.520 --> 01:39:15.079
dime or a dollar to spare for those who are

1840
01:39:15.119 --> 01:39:19.079
less fortunate. And you know, there's a wonderful thing about

1841
01:39:19.119 --> 01:39:22.359
money that you share in this way, money you spend

1842
01:39:22.399 --> 01:39:26.800
on yourself brings happiness to only one person, but money

1843
01:39:26.840 --> 01:39:30.880
that you share with the needy brings happiness to so many,

1844
01:39:32.079 --> 01:39:35.760
including yourself. And now back to the whistler.

1845
01:39:47.880 --> 01:39:51.239
So a cold blooded murder was the only way out, Childs.

1846
01:39:51.720 --> 01:39:55.359
The decision was automatic. It was Williams or your career.

1847
01:39:55.920 --> 01:39:58.119
And for you, of course, the answer was obvious.

1848
01:39:58.800 --> 01:40:02.600
Yes, nightmare that began less than twenty four hours ago

1849
01:40:03.199 --> 01:40:06.319
with a man named John Martin dead on the highway

1850
01:40:06.399 --> 01:40:09.439
near your house is about to come to its climax

1851
01:40:09.520 --> 01:40:10.479
in the next few minutes.

1852
01:40:11.199 --> 01:40:13.199
You had the strength to kill Charles.

1853
01:40:13.760 --> 01:40:16.439
You know, the same strength will stand by you now

1854
01:40:16.800 --> 01:40:18.479
when you go out to face the officers.

1855
01:40:18.920 --> 01:40:21.560
The unknown quantity, of course, is Sheila.

1856
01:40:22.119 --> 01:40:22.960
John How could you?

1857
01:40:23.800 --> 01:40:24.640
What did you do it?

1858
01:40:25.399 --> 01:40:28.319
Hold of yourself? I remember what I told you.

1859
01:40:29.119 --> 01:40:29.840
Barney Cole.

1860
01:40:29.960 --> 01:40:32.920
You understand. Barney Cole came up to this window.

1861
01:40:32.960 --> 01:40:34.279
Here way, don't break it.

1862
01:40:35.680 --> 01:40:38.239
You saw him clearly. He shot Williams through the window,

1863
01:40:38.279 --> 01:40:39.960
thinking it was I have you got that?

1864
01:40:40.279 --> 01:40:40.880
He has sold you?

1865
01:40:41.159 --> 01:40:41.479
All right?

1866
01:40:42.000 --> 01:41:01.600
Come on, here we go, he please, we are Thank

1867
01:41:01.680 --> 01:41:02.600
Heaven you're out there.

1868
01:41:05.680 --> 01:41:09.880
M Yeah, he's dead, all right? Shot in the back.

1869
01:41:10.840 --> 01:41:12.199
You say you all saw him.

1870
01:41:12.439 --> 01:41:13.640
I was just coming in from the kitchen.

1871
01:41:13.680 --> 01:41:18.119
Yes, I recognized him. I tried to warn mister Williams,

1872
01:41:18.239 --> 01:41:21.279
but it was too late. He raised his gun and fired.

1873
01:41:21.880 --> 01:41:26.079
It was Finney Cole, the man, Johnny Cole.

1874
01:41:26.279 --> 01:41:28.840
He must have escaped from prison. I got a fair

1875
01:41:28.880 --> 01:41:31.640
look at him too. I'd know him anywhere. Are you

1876
01:41:31.880 --> 01:41:32.920
sure positive?

1877
01:41:33.720 --> 01:41:35.239
I think he took off down the back road to

1878
01:41:35.239 --> 01:41:35.880
be able to highway.

1879
01:41:35.920 --> 01:41:40.000
I don't think he took off anywhere. Mister Conley you

1880
01:41:40.079 --> 01:41:43.119
know what's odd? Did you bring up Barney Cole? I

1881
01:41:43.319 --> 01:41:44.840
was on my way here to give you the news.

1882
01:41:45.880 --> 01:41:46.399
What news.

1883
01:41:46.920 --> 01:41:48.840
We've been staked out here because we figured this is

1884
01:41:48.840 --> 01:41:52.399
where Cole would head after his escape. Well, I just

1885
01:41:52.479 --> 01:41:55.680
heard from the corner we were wasting our time. Cole

1886
01:41:55.720 --> 01:41:58.840
made one stop before he came here, Condley. But he

1887
01:41:58.960 --> 01:42:01.960
did come here after he'd murdered a man named John

1888
01:42:02.079 --> 01:42:10.640
Martin and taking his clothes and identification papers. That's right,

1889
01:42:11.800 --> 01:42:13.760
it was Barney Cole who was run down on the

1890
01:42:13.840 --> 01:42:18.279
highway last night. Now suppose you to tell me who

1891
01:42:18.439 --> 01:42:48.039
really killed mister Williams here. Let that whistle be your

1892
01:42:48.159 --> 01:42:50.199
signal for the Signal Oil program.

1893
01:42:50.359 --> 01:42:54.119
The Whistler each Wednesday at the same time, brought to

1894
01:42:54.199 --> 01:42:57.439
you by the Signal Oil Company marketers of Signal Gasoline

1895
01:42:57.439 --> 01:43:00.840
and motor oil and Fine Quality Automo of Accessories.

1896
01:43:01.760 --> 01:43:04.479
Signal has asked me to remind you to get the

1897
01:43:04.560 --> 01:43:05.760
most driving pleasure.

1898
01:43:06.279 --> 01:43:10.560
Drive at sensible speeds, be courteous, and obey traffic regulations.

1899
01:43:11.520 --> 01:43:28.039
It may save a life, possibly your own. Featured in

1900
01:43:28.079 --> 01:43:32.840
Tonight's story were Willard Waterman and Mary Lansing. The Whistler

1901
01:43:33.000 --> 01:43:36.600
was produced by George w Allen, with story by Rena K. Green,

1902
01:43:37.119 --> 01:43:40.279
music by Wilbur Hatch, and was transmitted to our groups

1903
01:43:40.279 --> 01:43:43.840
overseas by the Armed Forces Radio Service. Marvin Miller speaking,

1904
01:43:44.720 --> 01:43:47.159
it's a CBS for Columbia Broadcasting System.

1905
01:43:54.800 --> 01:44:00.439
My dear, you look a bit tired. Perhaps it's another

1906
01:44:00.520 --> 01:44:04.920
cup of teas in order, I'll get the water going.

1907
01:44:06.079 --> 01:44:12.680
You stay right where you are, relax. Nothing to worry

1908
01:44:12.760 --> 01:44:20.159
about here, not a single thing. Your eyes do look

1909
01:44:20.199 --> 01:44:26.840
a bit sunken, your skin a bit pale. Perhaps if

1910
01:44:26.920 --> 01:44:33.840
your condition doesn't improve, you should schedule an appointment with

1911
01:44:34.039 --> 01:44:35.159
the snake doctor.

1912
01:44:49.479 --> 01:44:51.720
You were standing at the doorway of a cabin on

1913
01:44:51.920 --> 01:44:56.079
Cashier Creek, upon the ridge. The bloodhounds have cut your scent,

1914
01:44:56.960 --> 01:44:59.680
and between you and the fortune, between you and the

1915
01:44:59.720 --> 01:45:04.479
skin ape beyond the white jaws of a deadly cotton mouth.

1916
01:45:15.680 --> 01:45:20.159
Escape reduced and directed by William N. Robson, and carefully

1917
01:45:20.239 --> 01:45:22.600
contrived to free you from the four walls of today

1918
01:45:22.760 --> 01:45:24.800
for a half hour of high adventure.

1919
01:45:29.880 --> 01:45:32.520
Tonight we escaped to the worn out acres of a

1920
01:45:32.640 --> 01:45:37.039
poor white trash farmer somewhere in the southern mountains in

1921
01:45:37.239 --> 01:45:41.840
urban sque COB's Great Tale of vengeance snake Doctor.

1922
01:45:48.520 --> 01:45:53.159
This story is about snakes and two men. One man

1923
01:45:53.399 --> 01:45:56.479
was afraid of snakes and the other was the one

1924
01:45:56.520 --> 01:46:01.520
who wasn't. Was known along Cashier Creek as snaked. His

1925
01:46:01.720 --> 01:46:04.239
cabin was near the creek bottom line where there's a

1926
01:46:04.399 --> 01:46:08.239
powerful lot of cotton mouths, and he earned his meager

1927
01:46:08.319 --> 01:46:12.680
living by rendering down their soft fats, bottling the oil,

1928
01:46:12.760 --> 01:46:16.199
and selling it. But everyone knew there was no remedy

1929
01:46:16.279 --> 01:46:21.279
for rheumatism like snake oil. Snake Doctor was harmless enough,

1930
01:46:22.159 --> 01:46:24.680
but there were folks who honestly believed that he was

1931
01:46:24.760 --> 01:46:28.800
a colleague of Bilzebub just because he wasn't afraid of snakes.

1932
01:46:29.600 --> 01:46:31.600
And that's not all they believed about him.

1933
01:46:41.880 --> 01:46:46.199
Now, the man who was afraid of snakes was Jef Mourner,

1934
01:46:46.239 --> 01:46:48.199
who was Snake Doctor's nearest neighbor.

1935
01:46:49.079 --> 01:46:52.159
Jaff was the kind of man we all know who.

1936
01:46:52.199 --> 01:46:57.600
Suspected, feared, and hated anything he didn't understand, And he

1937
01:46:57.760 --> 01:47:02.279
understood neither cotton mouse nor the snake doctor. In sharp

1938
01:47:02.399 --> 01:47:06.279
Jaf was on her ignorant and shiftless. He'd rather shoot

1939
01:47:06.319 --> 01:47:10.079
squirrels and chopped cotton. He'd rather fish and whole corn

1940
01:47:10.920 --> 01:47:13.920
and that's just what he's doing now, fishing down the

1941
01:47:14.000 --> 01:47:17.600
big hole with his son and air Finney, who's.

1942
01:47:17.439 --> 01:47:22.880
Old enough but not quite bright enough to handle a gun, missed.

1943
01:47:22.640 --> 01:47:24.640
Him doggy, then he you bladol.

1944
01:47:25.479 --> 01:47:28.640
He gets in the creek. What the cotton mouth tramp

1945
01:47:28.720 --> 01:47:29.479
on him in front of.

1946
01:47:32.720 --> 01:47:32.760
You?

1947
01:47:32.840 --> 01:47:33.359
Got him?

1948
01:47:33.680 --> 01:47:35.199
He caught him. Keep your foot on him.

1949
01:47:35.119 --> 01:47:37.600
While I fish a stick. You don't need to, son.

1950
01:47:39.439 --> 01:47:42.880
Hey, he's dead. Now come here?

1951
01:47:44.199 --> 01:47:45.840
How'd you hear anything of that rifle?

1952
01:47:45.920 --> 01:47:46.159
Pap?

1953
01:47:46.840 --> 01:47:48.800
I had to be brought on him riding I could.

1954
01:47:48.800 --> 01:47:49.880
Turn fool.

1955
01:47:51.199 --> 01:47:53.520
Flame snake whilst I'm a fishing Heck, you.

1956
01:47:53.600 --> 01:47:55.439
Was Sonny hisself not more than to there from you?

1957
01:47:56.239 --> 01:47:57.840
How'd you like to get yourself bit on?

1958
01:47:58.039 --> 01:48:02.600
Being no fish around? Head of thunderation? After all that record? Well,

1959
01:48:02.960 --> 01:48:05.319
come on, let's go home and get some vittles.

1960
01:48:13.159 --> 01:48:16.800
Jeef Mourner tossed his bait can into the creek and

1961
01:48:17.039 --> 01:48:20.239
threw a stick after it. He stood there, watching the

1962
01:48:20.319 --> 01:48:23.880
stick drift slowly toward the big Hole, where the creek

1963
01:48:23.960 --> 01:48:28.239
widened behind a jam of drift wood. Jake watched as

1964
01:48:28.279 --> 01:48:31.359
the Eddy caught the stick and sucked it beneath the dam.

1965
01:48:32.359 --> 01:48:36.039
Jeff was curious. He moved downstream a rod or two

1966
01:48:36.119 --> 01:48:39.720
and waited, watching the water boil up from under the driftwood.

1967
01:48:40.479 --> 01:48:43.880
But the stick didn't come up. That was strange.

1968
01:48:44.760 --> 01:48:46.960
Patched a cord under there, and a tangle of water,

1969
01:48:47.119 --> 01:48:48.439
soap and sunken logs.

1970
01:48:49.039 --> 01:48:54.279
Probably had stayed there for months. Maybe stay there always.

1971
01:48:55.640 --> 01:48:59.359
Jeef considered this, and an idea began to form in

1972
01:48:59.439 --> 01:49:00.560
his slow minds.

1973
01:49:00.840 --> 01:49:02.279
He and finished out at home.

1974
01:49:03.000 --> 01:49:06.359
Hey, Paul, how much oil your reckons? And this one?

1975
01:49:07.399 --> 01:49:10.520
Paul, Paul, what you're join about?

1976
01:49:10.680 --> 01:49:10.920
Son?

1977
01:49:11.239 --> 01:49:12.359
This old cotton mask?

1978
01:49:12.800 --> 01:49:14.199
How much or it down?

1979
01:49:15.000 --> 01:49:15.600
So down?

1980
01:49:15.800 --> 01:49:18.720
Why I'm down? Like I say, I'll make your wish.

1981
01:49:19.600 --> 01:49:21.840
I was aiming on rendering the old cotton mouse fat

1982
01:49:21.920 --> 01:49:24.479
like the snake doctor doesn't. Maybe sell it and make

1983
01:49:24.560 --> 01:49:25.399
myself some money.

1984
01:49:25.479 --> 01:49:27.159
I don't like a swumming things around me.

1985
01:49:27.359 --> 01:49:28.000
But it's dad.

1986
01:49:28.279 --> 01:49:32.119
Leave it. Word dropped? Come on home?

1987
01:49:35.159 --> 01:49:37.039
You were scared on cotton mouse, Paul.

1988
01:49:38.520 --> 01:49:40.880
I know better than to get myself bent by the

1989
01:49:41.439 --> 01:49:42.000
tip Bailey.

1990
01:49:42.079 --> 01:49:44.560

01:49:46.920 --> 01:49:49.399

01:50:05.000 --> 01:50:07.720

01:50:07.800 --> 01:50:09.000

1998

That's what I say.

We'll seek you do, sure, Paul, Now, I could have

2002
01:50:20.039 --> 01:50:23.159
made myself some money rending that cotton mouse fat down

2003
01:50:23.239 --> 01:50:23.680
into oil.

2004
01:50:26.000 --> 01:50:28.119
How much you reckon Old snake Doctor makes out in

2005
01:50:28.119 --> 01:50:29.039
all he sais?

2006
01:50:29.239 --> 01:50:29.800
I don't know.

2007
01:50:30.479 --> 01:50:33.119
Dip Bailey says, Old Snake Doctor's got more than a

2008
01:50:33.439 --> 01:50:37.039
thousand dollars hit away summers in his cabin more.

2009
01:50:36.960 --> 01:50:40.680
Night, most likely causing old miser. Don't spend nothing. I

2010
01:50:40.760 --> 01:50:43.560
ain't got nothing, say that old rack of bones, ma'n.

2011
01:50:43.720 --> 01:50:46.479
Dif Bailey says, whenever Old Snake Doctor sets foot out

2012
01:50:46.520 --> 01:50:49.800
in his place, he's got the granddaddy of all cotton

2013
01:50:49.840 --> 01:50:51.600
mouse that he leaves out in the cabin to.

2014
01:50:51.640 --> 01:50:53.000
Stand god on his money.

2015
01:50:54.119 --> 01:50:56.239
Tip Bailey says he see the old snake doctor put

2016
01:50:56.319 --> 01:50:58.640
him in his pocket, live cotton mouse.

2017
01:50:58.840 --> 01:51:00.920
Snake doctor ain't fitting be alive asself.

2018
01:51:01.479 --> 01:51:04.520

doctor's cabin, Paul.

2023
01:51:15.760 --> 01:51:17.319
I don't have nothing money I have to to do

2024
01:51:17.399 --> 01:51:18.760
with that snake loving hoodoo.

2025
01:51:19.079 --> 01:51:21.600
If Bailey says a bit, wouldn't be no task at

2026
01:51:21.680 --> 01:51:24.239
tall for something no good, poke around in the snake

01:52:00.319 --> 01:52:02.560

01:52:34.079 --> 01:52:37.720
a dang snake itself living in a place like this. Paul.

2050
01:52:38.399 --> 01:52:40.800
I know you ain't looking for any money, but if

2051
01:52:40.840 --> 01:52:42.560
a you was, wouldn't you looking at.

2052
01:52:42.520 --> 01:52:45.039
Chink right up there? Where?

2053
01:52:45.159 --> 01:52:45.239

01:52:46.000 --> 01:52:46.359
Right there?

2055
01:52:46.479 --> 01:52:48.560
Second dog brother the fireplace on the right.

2056
01:52:48.880 --> 01:52:49.880
You see that that hole?

2057
01:52:50.800 --> 01:52:54.000
Yeah, I reckon, I would look up there. Well, since

2058
01:52:54.039 --> 01:52:56.520
we're here, might as well see for myself.

2059
01:52:57.119 --> 01:52:59.720
Oh, I wouldn't be a much surprised if old snake doctor.

2060
01:53:02.239 --> 01:53:05.640
Somebody's out on the porch he gets a snake doctor.

2061
01:53:06.880 --> 01:53:12.159
You're looking for something, Jeff morning, Eh, Yeah, I was

2062
01:53:12.279 --> 01:53:12.800
looking for you.

2063
01:53:13.600 --> 01:53:14.279
I want you.

2064
01:53:15.239 --> 01:53:19.439
Yeah, Yeah, we'll here you old Hodo? What's side there?

2065
01:53:19.479 --> 01:53:21.399
Snicking up on folks who took a trouble to come

2066
01:53:21.399 --> 01:53:23.359
all the way down here to do you a favor.

2067
01:53:34.960 --> 01:53:37.880
Sir, Like it's not that old snake doctor. I had

2068
01:53:37.920 --> 01:53:41.399
a dang moccasin switching around in his pocket. We'll still's

2069
01:53:41.439 --> 01:53:45.359
talking to your paul. Did you mind how his eyes

2070
01:53:45.560 --> 01:53:46.279
was when he come in?

2071
01:53:48.079 --> 01:53:48.279
Dang?

2072
01:53:48.359 --> 01:53:50.560
If it wasn't blazing like like when you run across

2073
01:53:50.680 --> 01:53:53.319
a little rabbit or cat in the dog, it's giving

2074
01:53:53.319 --> 01:53:54.520
me out of ten years gross.

2075
01:53:54.600 --> 01:53:57.279
Dang if you didn't, and did you mind?

2076
01:53:57.359 --> 01:53:58.880
I kept looking up at the war where I said

2077
01:53:58.880 --> 01:54:00.880
I bet he had the money between the chinks.

2078
01:54:02.720 --> 01:54:04.560
Then hey, don't you say nothing to your more about

2079
01:54:04.640 --> 01:54:06.720
us being at the snake doctors. Please you understand?

2080
01:54:07.199 --> 01:54:08.479
Why should I just don't?

2081
01:54:09.159 --> 01:54:12.920
And don't you go night again? Cause old vomit you

2082
01:54:13.079 --> 01:54:14.960
have thought we was proud of as the way he acted.

2083
01:54:16.159 --> 01:54:21.039
And you're out there, you're mom dinner about riding you poor?

2084
01:54:21.199 --> 01:54:21.840
When your time?

2085
01:54:22.359 --> 01:54:22.560
Yeah?

2086
01:54:22.880 --> 01:54:25.279
Have I time enough for dinner to go down the spring?

2087
01:54:25.399 --> 01:54:26.560
Get me small cold water?

2088
01:54:26.920 --> 01:54:30.760
And even you tell you hurry up, son, I'm hungry.

2089
01:54:33.640 --> 01:54:35.359
M hm, can't anything.

2090
01:54:35.520 --> 01:54:38.399
J How you think I can catch fish with finny

2091
01:54:38.479 --> 01:54:40.680
fine off my gun? At cockon males all the time.

2092
01:54:41.880 --> 01:54:46.479
He's this heat on the body, come bad h any

2093
01:54:46.560 --> 01:54:51.039
cooler of the creek. Now they pour on, Miss Rives,

2094
01:54:51.119 --> 01:54:54.000
come by here spair to go my knife shook the

2095
01:54:54.079 --> 01:54:55.159
pieces with a chill.

2096
01:54:55.880 --> 01:54:56.920
Oh he come by?

2097
01:54:57.159 --> 01:54:57.399
Did he?

2098
01:54:58.239 --> 01:55:02.119
What did he come in? Just for a minute?

2099
01:55:03.439 --> 01:55:04.000
What do you want?

2100
01:55:04.680 --> 01:55:05.039
You wanted?

2101
01:55:05.159 --> 01:55:07.000
Could have give him something for his ailmen?

2102
01:55:07.720 --> 01:55:10.600
He just yu could drag one side foot for the

2103
01:55:10.720 --> 01:55:12.760
other barely could make it up.

2104
01:55:12.640 --> 01:55:13.520
Here from his place.

2105
01:55:14.359 --> 01:55:16.359
I correct, he must be down bed with the fever.

2106
01:55:16.520 --> 01:55:19.560
But now, and tell boy the touch was rising. Anyone

2107
01:55:19.600 --> 01:55:22.680
who left him and start back home again? I give

2108
01:55:22.760 --> 01:55:25.920
him a dost out in our butler's aggre drops. And

2109
01:55:26.039 --> 01:55:28.479
I would have give him a little smidge and liquor.

2110
01:55:28.479 --> 01:55:32.399
Or you would please don't chase, don't.

2111
01:55:32.159 --> 01:55:39.159
Do the door of me for on me right, mister Rishs,

2112
01:55:39.920 --> 01:55:42.640
mister Rives, how many times I gotta tell you that

2113
01:55:42.720 --> 01:55:45.720
the old Hodle's name is snake doctor. He don't mean

2114
01:55:45.880 --> 01:55:50.239
nobody know emitted skin of lust for its hiding tyler.

2115
01:55:50.239 --> 01:55:54.760
And you calling him mister Rives, you'll be calling him

2116
01:55:54.840 --> 01:56:01.119
honey and sugar next well, without I love you, please

2117
01:56:01.840 --> 01:56:06.560
paid names? Huh tell her by the touch, could you?

2118
01:56:07.640 --> 01:56:07.880
Well?

2119
01:56:08.039 --> 01:56:09.439
I am told?

2120
01:56:12.199 --> 01:56:13.119
What's his name?

2121
01:56:13.399 --> 01:56:13.600
Now?

2122
01:56:16.279 --> 01:56:20.560
Well? What's your per mister, Rives?

2123
01:56:20.760 --> 01:56:24.960
Name now, name none?

2124
01:56:30.960 --> 01:56:33.560
Kiss him on her, rubbed the ugly red welt on

2125
01:56:33.640 --> 01:56:36.800
her scrawny arm, and gave the frying pan full of

2126
01:56:36.880 --> 01:56:41.319
sizzlings side meet a hopeless nudge. She prayed that the

2127
01:56:41.399 --> 01:56:44.359
weight of the vittals might take their jeoff Jave's temper.

2128
01:56:45.239 --> 01:56:48.319
Phinis louched in from the spring, saw the mark.

2129
01:56:48.199 --> 01:56:50.800
On her arm, Pobby warmping you again, Mom.

2130
01:56:51.279 --> 01:56:53.840
She didn't answer, what'd you do this time?

2131
01:56:54.439 --> 01:56:57.520
She silently dished up the hog back and corn bread

2132
01:56:57.640 --> 01:57:01.600
for two men, and while they sat table, she ate

2133
01:57:01.720 --> 01:57:04.880
on her feet, serving them between bites, as was the

2134
01:57:05.000 --> 01:57:17.279
custom in the morning household. After dinner finish stretched out

2135
01:57:17.399 --> 01:57:21.000
under the china berry tree, and Kizzie sat on the porch,

2136
01:57:21.159 --> 01:57:24.880
fanning herself and dipping snuff with a beach twig, scouring

2137
01:57:24.960 --> 01:57:28.680
it back and forth on her gums. Jeff took hissies

2138
01:57:28.800 --> 01:57:32.039
on the floor of the back room, but he didn't sleep.

2139
01:57:33.119 --> 01:57:36.520
One thing he'd seen that day and another thing he

2140
01:57:36.560 --> 01:57:41.239
had heard. He was adding them together. That stick that

2141
01:57:41.399 --> 01:57:45.640
had disappeared under the log jam, and the snake ducked

2142
01:57:45.680 --> 01:57:49.640
his money. It was four o'clock before any of them stirred,

2143
01:57:49.760 --> 01:57:52.520
and then Jaf spoke to his wife for the first

2144
01:57:52.600 --> 01:57:53.479
time since noon.

2145
01:57:53.720 --> 01:57:57.760
There was a let brick because by the window he

2146
01:57:57.880 --> 01:58:00.319
took it out in your parking after you laid down.

2147
01:58:01.119 --> 01:58:03.199
I ought to carry a violet drinking liquor with me,

2148
01:58:03.399 --> 01:58:06.399
mar I might get bit by no moccus as through

2149
01:58:06.399 --> 01:58:08.039
as Paul Wood ain't been all.

2150
01:58:08.159 --> 01:58:11.960
Let me catch you if find a day, I just.

2151
01:58:11.960 --> 01:58:13.920
Remember that I won't be needing to toe no spens

2152
01:58:13.960 --> 01:58:15.039
along with me while I'm going.

2153
01:58:15.600 --> 01:58:16.880
I wouldn't take no chance.

2154
01:58:17.840 --> 01:58:21.520
Just one cotton mauve bike, cotton mouse or Donna slashes

2155
01:58:21.560 --> 01:58:24.079
else along the creek. Well, I'll be this evening's up

2156
01:58:24.119 --> 01:58:26.680
on Bailey's Ridge in the high ground, a vixing to

2157
01:58:26.720 --> 01:58:28.840
go shooting. I aim to gun me a chance of

2158
01:58:28.920 --> 01:58:30.840
young squells between non dust.

2159
01:58:30.720 --> 01:58:32.479
Time reckon, I'll come along.

2160
01:58:32.680 --> 01:58:32.920
Paul.

2161
01:58:33.119 --> 01:58:35.760
You're staying here, son, Oh dang, it.

2162
01:58:36.560 --> 01:58:38.840
Be steaming in the place when the rain comes down.

2163
01:58:39.560 --> 01:58:41.560
Paul, you might be needing you just stay here.

2164
01:58:42.720 --> 01:58:46.159
Oh, Paul and Kizzy set me up a snack of

2165
01:58:46.239 --> 01:58:47.239
coats up on a shelf.

2166
01:58:47.359 --> 01:58:49.119
Likely I won't get back to his plumped do.

2167
01:58:56.399 --> 01:58:59.800
Jaf Marner turned north through his struggling corn rows, and

2168
01:58:59.840 --> 01:59:02.600
then in the minute he was lost from sight. He

2169
01:59:02.760 --> 01:59:05.119
kept on for nearly a mile until he came to

2170
01:59:05.239 --> 01:59:09.920
a wild red mulberry tree. When mulberry's are they're bound

2171
01:59:09.960 --> 01:59:14.960
to be squawked. Very neatly, he shot two young grays

2172
01:59:15.000 --> 01:59:19.000
through the head. For Jeefe was a master marksman and

2173
01:59:20.079 --> 01:59:24.119
unsuspected by any who knew him. Jeff had another quality

2174
01:59:24.199 --> 01:59:29.560
denied most of his kind. He had an imagination today

2175
01:59:29.600 --> 01:59:33.079
it was an excellent working order. He tied the brain

2176
01:59:33.159 --> 01:59:36.880
squirrels together and swung him over his shoulder. If needed,

2177
01:59:37.680 --> 01:59:40.960
they would be his alibi. Then he sat down under

2178
01:59:41.000 --> 01:59:41.840
a tree a while.

2179
01:59:43.800 --> 01:59:46.399
Yeah, I got plenty of time. Don't need to get

2180
01:59:46.439 --> 01:59:49.119
down the snake doctor's place about dusk when he comes

2181
01:59:49.159 --> 01:59:54.960
out to feed that sweep back Mary isn't mistic guy.

2182
02:00:03.119 --> 02:00:07.039
He sat out two brisk thundershowers and the intervals between them.

2183
02:00:07.760 --> 02:00:11.520
Then he started off in a wide arc down Bailey's Branch,

2184
02:00:11.600 --> 02:00:14.439
along with skirts a little cypress slash to the sunken

2185
02:00:14.479 --> 02:00:18.279
flat's edge in Cashire Creek. Took more in an hour

2186
02:00:18.520 --> 02:00:22.560
careful traveling before he came to his destination. A screen

2187
02:00:22.640 --> 02:00:26.319
of hall bushers less than fifty yards behind the snake

2188
02:00:26.439 --> 02:00:27.279
doctor's cabin.

2189
02:00:29.800 --> 02:00:31.840
No matter how helen he is, you'd get up and

2190
02:00:31.920 --> 02:00:36.079
come out to feed that rack of bones. Mare mister

2191
02:00:36.399 --> 02:00:40.920
rhymes and learned him to go colleaging around another man's woman.

2192
02:00:41.199 --> 02:00:44.399
James Morner let his jealousy heat him to a white hatred.

2193
02:00:44.880 --> 02:00:47.479
At this moment, he was avenge in his honor, and

2194
02:00:47.600 --> 02:00:51.000
thus was spared the embarrassment of admitting to himself that

2195
02:00:51.159 --> 02:00:53.560
the real reason he was here was a snake doctor's

2196
02:00:53.640 --> 02:00:56.680
money hidden behind the log by the fireplace.

2197
02:00:57.039 --> 02:01:01.119
The homewrecking snake love and vermin. Ten minutes from now,

2198
02:01:01.119 --> 02:01:03.439
I'll chunk him down the big hole in a creak

2199
02:01:03.600 --> 02:01:05.720
like I did a stick this morning, and he'll go

2200
02:01:05.880 --> 02:01:08.800
down and never come out, and nobody will miss him.

2201
02:01:09.520 --> 02:01:12.159
Nobody'll know he's gun for least by his week, maybe

2202
02:01:12.199 --> 02:01:17.119
a month. Maybe if I get around to it, might

2203
02:01:17.199 --> 02:01:20.800
come back his way some day. Broke around that cabin A.

2204
02:01:20.880 --> 02:01:28.600
Hissn't jaff Morner's speculations were cut short. A cabin door opened,

2205
02:01:28.960 --> 02:01:31.279
and a figure stepped out into the growing dusk and

2206
02:01:31.439 --> 02:01:34.840
walked toward the stable. He saw the snake doctor's lop.

2207
02:01:35.000 --> 02:01:37.920
The old straw hat and his dark coat drawn over

2208
02:01:38.079 --> 02:01:42.039
pair of hunchs narrow shoulders. At this distance he couldn't miss,

2209
02:01:43.319 --> 02:01:46.319
and he didn't. The figure jerked backward and then went

2210
02:01:46.399 --> 02:01:49.600
face forward. Jaff started for him, and then he stopped.

2211
02:01:49.960 --> 02:01:52.520
His eyes bugged, his mouth formed a scream that he

2212
02:01:52.560 --> 02:01:56.960
couldn't utter. His rifle dropped to the ground. He had

2213
02:01:57.159 --> 02:01:59.720
just killed the snake Doctor, killed him dead with a

2214
02:01:59.720 --> 02:02:02.399
third two caliber slug through the head. And there on

2215
02:02:02.520 --> 02:02:05.399
his door saill stood snake dot the hole and sound

2216
02:02:05.479 --> 02:02:06.520
and staring at him.

2217
02:02:06.680 --> 02:02:08.800
Jeff Murny, what you doing?

2218
02:02:10.039 --> 02:02:12.720
The scream came at last for Jake Murner had seen

2219
02:02:12.760 --> 02:02:15.600
the devil, his snake Doctor, who rose alive from his

2220
02:02:15.680 --> 02:02:26.359
bullet riddled body. Jath whirled and ran into the deep,

2221
02:02:26.479 --> 02:02:29.279
darkening woods, whimpering like a whipped puppy as he tore

2222
02:02:29.399 --> 02:02:30.000
through the brush.

2223
02:02:30.399 --> 02:02:30.800
Escape.

2224
02:02:31.079 --> 02:02:33.359
He must escape, He must get under the shelter of

2225
02:02:33.439 --> 02:02:36.520
a sound roof, have the protection of four walls around him.

2226
02:02:36.720 --> 02:02:45.079
So he ran and ran bows. It was close to

2227
02:02:45.199 --> 02:02:47.840
midnight when he came out on a dirt road. Shot

2228
02:02:47.920 --> 02:02:51.560
this in southeast of his dead Beyond the next bend,

2229
02:02:51.640 --> 02:02:55.039
he'd be inside of home. Then it stopped around the

2230
02:02:55.119 --> 02:02:57.840
bend coming taught him as a joggling light, a lantern

2231
02:02:57.880 --> 02:03:00.560
hanging on a buggy. Jake flattened himself from a clump

2232
02:03:00.600 --> 02:03:03.319
of brush to hide until the traveler passed, and then

2233
02:03:03.800 --> 02:03:05.840
just as the rig was opposite him, you heard a

2234
02:03:05.920 --> 02:03:09.039
call coming from the other direc Y hard.

2235
02:03:08.920 --> 02:03:12.640

2243
02:03:32.960 --> 02:03:35.960
It happened just around dust time at old Snake Doctors play.

2244
02:03:36.079 --> 02:03:36.880
Yeah was him?

2245
02:03:37.000 --> 02:03:37.279

Yeah.

2248
02:03:39.000 --> 02:03:39.159
Yeah.

2249
02:03:39.439 --> 02:03:42.199
It seems like Snake Doctor's been a chilling late. Uh huh,

2250
02:03:42.239 --> 02:03:44.920
it's pretty bad off today. Yeah, I mean yesterday and

2251
02:03:45.319 --> 02:03:47.479
so long about five o'clock when the rain was a

2252
02:03:47.560 --> 02:03:50.399
loving a little bit, why miss kiddy warning see she

2253
02:03:50.720 --> 02:03:52.560
she flooted it down from her place to his and

2254
02:03:52.640 --> 02:03:54.720
fetching some physic wearther he had to play the hot

2255
02:03:54.800 --> 02:03:55.560
beddal Miss.

2256
02:03:55.439 --> 02:03:57.560
Morning's a mighty as heart. He one for doing things

2257
02:03:57.600 --> 02:03:57.960
for folk.

2258
02:03:58.199 --> 02:03:59.800
Don't you want to hear this go ahead?

2259
02:04:00.199 --> 02:04:02.479
Well, seems like she she wasn't the fear of the

2260
02:04:02.520 --> 02:04:05.079
snake doctor's play, I'd have been all over that well

2261
02:04:05.119 --> 02:04:07.760
pretty soon after she got there, seems like he tried

2262
02:04:07.800 --> 02:04:09.359
to get up out of his bed to go feed

2263
02:04:09.399 --> 02:04:11.640
that old crow bait naga. His uh huh rain had

2264
02:04:11.680 --> 02:04:13.920
started in again, but then it's pouring down hard, so

2265
02:04:14.319 --> 02:04:16.079
she made him stay where he was at, and she

2266
02:04:16.199 --> 02:04:18.079
put on his old hat and throwed his old coat

2267
02:04:18.079 --> 02:04:20.159
around her and keep off the worst of the wetting.

2268
02:04:20.479 --> 02:04:22.560
Then she started out the back door to do the feeding.

2269
02:04:22.600 --> 02:04:25.359
Her sound and no more she got outside and a

2270
02:04:25.439 --> 02:04:27.560
shot come from the edge of the woods, and down

2271
02:04:27.680 --> 02:04:29.199
she went with a bullet through her brain.

2272
02:04:29.359 --> 02:04:32.319
Killed it sad as a dog. But who donnies?

2273
02:04:32.680 --> 02:04:36.079
That little flung husband heard donnies, that's who He must

2274
02:04:36.159 --> 02:04:38.159
have followed her down to snake doctors and then just

2275
02:04:38.239 --> 02:04:38.960
laiden wait for her.

2276
02:04:39.039 --> 02:04:42.119
They certain twice him then, why sure thing snake.

2277
02:04:41.840 --> 02:04:44.000
Doctor jumped up when he heard the shot, and he

2278
02:04:44.119 --> 02:04:45.880
catched a quick look at Jeff over the fence.

2279
02:04:45.960 --> 02:04:46.159
Dead.

2280
02:04:46.359 --> 02:04:48.680
Yeah, there was a long streak on Kiss's arm where

2281
02:04:48.720 --> 02:04:50.439
he must have whooped her out during the day.

2282
02:04:50.359 --> 02:04:52.399
Well hanging his sight too good for him to catch.

2283
02:04:52.319 --> 02:04:53.399
It all, but they will.

2284
02:04:54.039 --> 02:04:56.319
Some thinks that he's made for the slashesn't hit out

2285
02:04:56.359 --> 02:04:59.439
there tracks, let off ot away, huh, or they'd be

2286
02:04:59.479 --> 02:05:01.399
a line of me throat all the way around little

2287
02:05:01.439 --> 02:05:03.800
Cypress for son Sheriff. Got tell you yet, No, but

2288
02:05:03.880 --> 02:05:05.840
he's do you in any minute where there's pack of dogs.

2289
02:05:06.119 --> 02:05:08.640
They telephone then from Gallop Mills that he's on his way.

2290
02:05:09.079 --> 02:05:11.239
That trail ought to lay good ground being damped like

2291
02:05:11.359 --> 02:05:14.199
it is so sure, old snake doctor. He's crying on

2292
02:05:14.319 --> 02:05:16.680
and raving around up with Morner's blessed that the lord's

2293
02:05:16.680 --> 02:05:20.079
gonna strike the murder down his track. I'm putting my

2294
02:05:20.199 --> 02:05:22.960
man compassing in bloodhounds or on them first, and then

2295
02:05:23.000 --> 02:05:25.119
maybe on a stout ploun line in the limber trade.

2296
02:05:25.199 --> 02:05:26.159
Yeah, that's more certain.

2297
02:05:26.279 --> 02:05:28.319
Yeah, I'm just putting that for my place to fetch

2298
02:05:28.359 --> 02:05:31.239
my molder's boy. I wouldn't want him to miss allancheon.

2299
02:05:31.800 --> 02:05:33.319
It's a good side, crowded for already.

2300
02:05:33.479 --> 02:05:35.439
I go up and join him. I got officially on

2301
02:05:35.560 --> 02:05:38.880
my hip pocket for miss Morning. She always watched good hearted.

2302
02:05:39.039 --> 02:05:39.640
She was dead.

2303
02:05:40.319 --> 02:05:42.960
A shot kiss here said, you hear something just then?

2304
02:05:43.680 --> 02:05:46.279
I can't say, den, I'm probably a rabbit breaking through

2305
02:05:46.359 --> 02:05:49.880
the brower. Listen, listen, sheriffs are coming.

2306
02:05:50.279 --> 02:05:52.119
You can hear them. Hounds of hells not got for her?

2307
02:05:52.239 --> 02:05:53.239
Get up their bye to you?

2308
02:05:53.319 --> 02:05:53.840
Back the ball?

2309
02:05:53.840 --> 02:05:54.560
Wh are you sure?

2310
02:05:54.720 --> 02:06:03.039
Will Yife didn't have time to waste morning his dead wife.

2311
02:06:03.800 --> 02:06:05.720
He was even a little relieved to know that the

2312
02:06:05.800 --> 02:06:08.840
snake doctor was and the devil in Connor. He had

2313
02:06:08.880 --> 02:06:11.640
a chance against lynch mob and a pack of blooddowns.

2314
02:06:11.880 --> 02:06:14.560
This was the kind of antagonist he could understand and

2315
02:06:14.720 --> 02:06:18.920
out smart. James's imagination went to work again as he

2316
02:06:19.039 --> 02:06:21.960
backtracked along the creek bottom in the spotted moonlight.

2317
02:06:22.600 --> 02:06:26.000
Gotta throw them dogs off a trail, got away the creek,

2318
02:06:26.079 --> 02:06:30.640
even if it is full of cotton mounts. They must

2319
02:06:30.680 --> 02:06:33.399
be all around me now, the folks says, they don't

2320
02:06:33.399 --> 02:06:36.119
strike the water, and I hope them folks is right.

2321
02:06:37.680 --> 02:06:39.119
Got to get back to the snake doctors.

2322
02:06:39.840 --> 02:06:41.680
Get his money while he's still up at my place

2323
02:06:41.720 --> 02:06:45.079
with kisses remains, and get his money. Then the rest

2324
02:06:45.079 --> 02:06:50.720
would be easy. Make for the deep timmy close country river.

2325
02:06:51.640 --> 02:06:55.039
Make it for tomorrow sundown. Hire a shanty boaterer to

2326
02:06:55.119 --> 02:06:58.560
fell me to the Arkansas side and get a hair cut,

2327
02:06:58.640 --> 02:07:02.399
and catch a train for some of these gotta get

2328
02:07:02.479 --> 02:07:03.479
snaked up his money.

2329
02:07:03.640 --> 02:07:10.319
Chris Snake Doctor's cabin was dark and empty when Jay

2330
02:07:10.479 --> 02:07:13.840
reached it, and he needed light for his search. There

2331
02:07:13.880 --> 02:07:16.199
were a few dull embers in the fireplace. He threw

2332
02:07:16.279 --> 02:07:18.239
on some kindling, but a dinner light.

2333
02:07:19.199 --> 02:07:22.199
Very well. He knew where the cheek was. He'd find

2334
02:07:22.239 --> 02:07:22.880
it in the dark.

2335
02:07:23.520 --> 02:07:26.439
He scrambled at the logs, felt some barkin, felt the

2336
02:07:26.479 --> 02:07:28.920
clay order crumble under his fingernails.

2337
02:07:29.319 --> 02:07:32.520
Here it was a hole big enough for a man's arm.

2338
02:07:32.960 --> 02:07:36.199
He plunged his hand into it, touched something slick and smooth,

2339
02:07:36.640 --> 02:07:39.000
and then something sharp plunged into his thumb.

2340
02:07:41.399 --> 02:07:42.920
On the fire flickered to life.

2341
02:07:43.359 --> 02:07:45.720
Chaff yanked his hand out of the hole, saw two

2342
02:07:45.840 --> 02:07:49.239
tiny bleating punctures in his thumb. At the mouth of

2343
02:07:49.279 --> 02:07:52.039
the hole stretched the wide open jaws of a cotton mouth.

2344
02:07:54.199 --> 02:07:55.039
It worked fast.

2345
02:07:55.399 --> 02:07:57.840
He felt the pain leaping from his thumb to his hand,

2346
02:07:57.920 --> 02:08:00.560
seeping up his arm. If he only had some he

2347
02:08:00.680 --> 02:08:02.640
had a fresh killed chicken slap on the wound.

2348
02:08:02.960 --> 02:08:06.520
He had nothing. Then a sharp, horrible pain wrenched his heart.

2349
02:08:06.760 --> 02:08:09.680
And a second and there, in the firelight, the huge

2350
02:08:09.720 --> 02:08:14.000
cotton mouth poised in its crevice. Jay fleeped out of

2351
02:08:14.079 --> 02:08:16.680
the shat and started blindly for the timber Stagg had

2352
02:08:16.720 --> 02:08:21.359
stumbles and pits forward on his face, his oap mouth

2353
02:08:21.520 --> 02:08:25.960
full of weeds and buddy grass stems, the cramping fingers

2354
02:08:26.000 --> 02:08:31.039
of his outstretched right hand almost touching a reddish black

2355
02:08:31.159 --> 02:08:33.399
smear on the wet, trampled grass.

2356
02:08:39.800 --> 02:08:43.199
Yes, good ribbons, My gravy has good ribbons.

2357
02:08:43.239 --> 02:08:45.319
I'd call it that one't you, Doctor Bradshaw?

2358
02:08:45.680 --> 02:08:48.720
Well reckingly short of a rough justice in the way

2359
02:08:48.840 --> 02:08:49.359
he died.

2360
02:08:50.079 --> 02:08:53.399
Look look his hand reaching out just about touches the

2361
02:08:53.520 --> 02:08:54.880
blood where his woman fell.

2362
02:08:56.479 --> 02:08:58.399
And this just been quite a night, Davis.

2363
02:08:59.000 --> 02:09:01.920
I've just examined the body of a man who appears

2364
02:09:02.119 --> 02:09:03.640
to been killed by a snake bite.

2365
02:09:04.640 --> 02:09:07.079
Killed good and quick too, judging by the evidence.

2366
02:09:07.199 --> 02:09:09.479
Well, doc, ain't that the way a cotton mouth always

2367
02:09:09.520 --> 02:09:12.319
does killing? Maam sad like I always hear, tell.

2368
02:09:12.399 --> 02:09:15.560
Never mind what you hear. I'm going by the facts.

2369
02:09:16.439 --> 02:09:19.279
I've been practicing medicine in this county for going on

2370
02:09:19.439 --> 02:09:22.520
to forty six years, and I tell you that, in

2371
02:09:22.680 --> 02:09:25.800
all my life, I've never known but two or three

2372
02:09:25.920 --> 02:09:30.560
people actually being bitten by water moccasons, And until tonight,

2373
02:09:30.760 --> 02:09:34.960
I never had the personal knowledge of anybody dying from

2374
02:09:35.000 --> 02:09:37.159
a bite of any kind of a snake.

2375
02:09:37.119 --> 02:09:38.079
As that had a factort.

2376
02:09:39.439 --> 02:09:40.319
Hey, what's going on.

2377
02:09:40.479 --> 02:09:41.199
Over, doc?

2378
02:09:41.399 --> 02:09:44.319
And that Mourner's boy kicking up the person?

2379
02:09:44.439 --> 02:09:47.920
Yeah, he didn't no good, just like his poem what's your.

2380
02:09:48.000 --> 02:09:50.359
Trouble tip went out of his head.

2381
02:09:50.479 --> 02:09:52.479
I'm gonna kill a snake and bitting my poem.

2382
02:09:52.960 --> 02:09:55.319
Man, I need give that old snake doctor weapon for

2383
02:09:55.439 --> 02:09:56.600
keeping a reptile in this.

2384

Place here, Paul God, Jess Waters, here's to you, Fenny snake,

2385
02:09:59.520 --> 02:10:01.479
Doc Rank blame that who do devil?

2386
02:10:01.600 --> 02:10:06.319

2387
02:10:06.720 --> 02:10:10.239
nearly one hundred dollars to pay for burying your mall decent.

2388
02:10:11.079 --> 02:10:13.479
Oh that's how much he thought of it. Now I'll

2389
02:10:13.520 --> 02:10:14.760
go on home behavior.

2390

2392
02:10:21.159 --> 02:10:23.800
You start to say something about snake by not killing, Now,

2393
02:10:24.159 --> 02:10:25.720
how you account for Jay here?

2394
02:10:26.119 --> 02:10:30.680
Well, the late jaff Mourner had a rotten bad heart, Davis.

2395
02:10:30.920 --> 02:10:33.399
All he sure dead. Yes, he proves that.

2396
02:10:33.640 --> 02:10:35.199
No, I don't mean in that sense.

2397
02:10:35.399 --> 02:10:39.600
I mean there was an organic weakness, a curious thing,

2398
02:10:39.720 --> 02:10:41.560
though there was no swelling anywhere.

2399
02:10:41.640 --> 02:10:44.159
Well, there's him two marks on his thumb, him snake

2400
02:10:44.239 --> 02:10:45.800
gashes like some of are seen that.

2401
02:10:46.000 --> 02:10:48.720

02:10:49.199 --> 02:10:50.239
He can't fool kid.

2404
02:10:50.359 --> 02:10:52.199
Come on, Doc, he's probably shot nobody.

2405
02:10:52.239 --> 02:10:53.000
I shot at it.

2406
02:10:53.439 --> 02:10:55.720
I shot at it, but I didn't hit it. It's

2407
02:10:55.800 --> 02:10:58.760
gonna get me like a doctor ball. I come on,

2408
02:10:58.920 --> 02:11:00.880

2409
02:11:03.840 --> 02:11:06.079

2411
02:11:08.279 --> 02:11:08.920

2412
02:11:09.319 --> 02:11:09.880

David, Oh No, sorry, nothing, my head go ahead.

Didn't know it was stuffed, but just to be sure,

2421
02:11:40.159 --> 02:11:43.840
Old Snake Doctor lined the hole with coils of barbed wire.

2422
02:11:44.159 --> 02:11:48.399
