00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:13.880
Ah, so good to see you, my dear. I was
2
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:18.239
concerned for a moment that perhaps you were a little
3
00:00:18.519 --> 00:00:23.760
too busy. Oh, I wouldn't be upset. I could only
4
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:29.280
imagine the kinds of expectations and hustle and bustle this
5
00:00:30.079 --> 00:00:34.119
time of year. But the fact that you've found a
6
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:39.640
little time to be with me, well, that makes me
7
00:00:39.960 --> 00:00:45.280
truly thankful. Please please have a seat. It's time to
8
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:52.439
relax now and enjoy a little cold fear. No, no,
9
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.240
I'll put a log on the fire. Of course. Of
10
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:59.679
course I'll make sure we're warm and toasties have got
11
00:00:59.679 --> 00:01:06.120
the tea going. Are you ready to explore Family Times?
12
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:10.359
A CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents.
13
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.719
Coming Welcome.
14
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:31.879
I'm e. G.
15
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:32.599
Marshall.
16
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:37.079
Snap a candle and it goes out. Hide from the
17
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:40.359
human soul all knowledge of its origins, and still some
18
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:44.040
flicker of instinct will keep the knowledge alive at a
19
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:48.640
level deep beyond the reach of memory. There are truths
20
00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:52.319
which survive in us forever, and which we may never
21
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:57.560
know unless one day, by merest chance, Robert who witt
22
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:00.200
that called you? No one?
23
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:02.920
But I heard the phone ring you answered it. I
24
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:03.840
could hear your voice.
25
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:06.760
It must have been someone there. No, there was no one.
26
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:09.840
You were talking to a dead connection.
27
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.400
Yes, I have to go now, dear, But where when
28
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:28.560
will you be back? I don't know. Our mystery drama
29
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:31.919
Family Ties was written especially for the Mystery theater by
30
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:46.400
Percy Grainger and stars Terry Kane and Russell Boughton. It
31
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:48.719
is easy to lose perspective.
32
00:02:48.280 --> 00:02:49.199
On our problems.
33
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:52.639
They have a way of becoming too small or too big,
34
00:02:53.199 --> 00:02:56.000
and this in turn makes it difficult to know precisely
35
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:57.080
what action to take.
36
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.479
Often the hardest thing to do is to admit we
37
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:01.599
have a problem at all.
38
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:04.919
Those who say, if we can recognize a problem, we
39
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.000
are half way to solving it. But sometimes that isn't true.
40
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:11.520
Sometimes that is only the beginning.
41
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:11.960
Of our troubles.
42
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.439
A miss to Warren, Lieutenant, what can I do for you?
43
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:22.479
I'm sorry, lieutenant, Yes, they sent me to see you.
44
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:23.599
Who sent you?
45
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:25.199
The policeman at the front desk.
46
00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:30.879
We'll shut the door please, Oh I'm sorry. Now would
47
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:35.360
you like a chair? No? Oh?
48
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.639
Yes, yes, I will thank you.
49
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:41.400
You are in the right place, aren't you. Is this
50
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:42.840
the Missing Person's Bureau?
51
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:43.520
Yes?
52
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:48.800
Well then yes I am. I feel foolish I didn't
53
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:51.800
know there really were missing persons, I mean, except in
54
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:52.439
the movies.
55
00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:55.759
You have someone who's missing that you want to report,
56
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.520
I think so, do you think so? Either he's missing
57
00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.319
or he's not, Miss smith Is, missus.
58
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.159
Uh, I'm sorry, Missus pandenis Janet Pandannis.
59
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.400
And the person you're reporting my husband.
60
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.120
All right, well I thought he was missing, but now
61
00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:17.160
that I'm actually here, I'm not so sure. I mean,
62
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.759
Robert's not the type of person you think of. It's
63
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:22.120
missing Robert that's his name.
64
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:25.720
Yes, but please, missus Pandanis, let's try to keep the
65
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:29.360
momentum going. Description are you?
66
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:31.480
I'm not sure I can.
67
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.120
You can't describe your own husband?
68
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:34.439
Why not?
69
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:38.399
We've been married so long as it's fifteen years. Well,
70
00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:40.199
perhaps you have a photograph.
71
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.839
Oh yes, right here in my purse. He's a flight
72
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:51.120
a receding hairline, dark hair, horn, room glasses, an impeccable dressing.
73
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:52.600
Yes, could I see the picture?
74
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:54.839
Oh of course, I'm sorry.
75
00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:01.079
There's nothing to be nervous about. Huh. He and he
76
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:02.199
looks like an accountant.
77
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:03.759
Yes, that's what he is.
78
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:09.319
Oh, well, that answers my next question. Now, what makes
79
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:10.399
you think he's missing.
80
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.959
He hadn't been home for two days. And there is
81
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:18.480
this unusual well for Roberts, it is, and he's always
82
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.040
home every night right after work. It's only during tax
83
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:23.879
season that he occasionally has to make trips to work
84
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:27.000
on clients returns. But he always tells me where he's going.
85
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:28.240
And he called me every.
86
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:32.120
Night, and you've heard nothing. No, Now, were there any
87
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:34.439
circumstances surrounding his disappearance?
88
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:36.040
Oh no, I hope.
89
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:39.399
Well, I mean, anything unusual that might serve as a clue.
90
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:46.399
Well, yes, yes, he hungh up the phone and walked out,
91
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.360
hung up the phone, and I got this piece of tape.
92
00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:50.480
Who whoa, whoa, whoa?
93
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.160
Why don't you start at the beginning, missus Ben Dennis.
94
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:57.800
About four days ago, I began receiving phone calls, or
95
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:00.519
Robert did, because every time I answered, the party would hang.
96
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:01.639
Up without speaking to you.
97
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:06.279
Yes, I thought it was just a crank caller. But
98
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:09.000
this happened several times, and then two nights ago the
99
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:09.879
phone rang again.
100
00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:10.839
I was busy, so.
101
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:11.720
Robert answered it.
102
00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:14.519
Did you overhear any of the conversations?
103
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:18.600
No, I heard nothing. Several minutes later, I walked into
104
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:22.040
the living room and he was gone, and for two
105
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:25.560
days now I haven't had any communication with him whatsoever.
106
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.439
Now you mentioned a piece of paper.
107
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:34.079
Oh, yes, yes, I just discovered it today.
108
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:35.879
Oh, this paper's blank.
109
00:06:36.120 --> 00:06:39.519
No, if you look carefully, you'll notice the pressure of
110
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:41.839
the pen left a clear indentation.
111
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:45.800
It looks like an address.
112
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:48.319
It's from the notepad we keep by the phone. I
113
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:51.680
think Robert must have jotted it down as he was speaking.
114
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:55.519
This is his handrunning. Yes. Well, could it be the
115
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:57.759
address of one of his tax clients? Oh?
116
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:00.839
I doubt it, as you can see, addressed in a
117
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:04.600
very good area of the city. Because of Robert's family,
118
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:08.720
name is crime teller, all pretty fancy Dennis.
119
00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.959
Is he related to Jacob Pendennis, the industrialist?
120
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:14.560
Yes, that was his father.
121
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.920
I remember reading about that case. Pendennis was murdered, wasn't
122
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:23.959
he and robbed in his own home? Yes, Robert wasn't
123
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:28.240
quite born at the time. He never knew his father. Well,
124
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:31.040
I'll go out right away and check on this address.
125
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:34.120
Missus pan Dennis with luck, we'll have some word on
126
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:45.079
your husband in a couple of hours. Yes, who's that,
127
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:49.319
Lieutenant Warren? Police? What do you want? Could I speak
128
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:50.000
to you for a woman.
129
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:52.079
Do you have a search want?
130
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:52.800
Well?
131
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:56.680
No, but that you can't come in the name on
132
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:00.680
the mailbox downstairs, says Grady. Is that you yes?
133
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:03.600
Else? The Grady? Am I in trouble?
134
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:07.360
No? I'm with the Missing Person Bureau. Missus Grady.
135
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:09.120
Do you want to see my past?
136
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:09.360
Brew?
137
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:11.600
No, that that's not necessary. I love it. I could
138
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:13.639
show it to you, but you can't come in. Do
139
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:18.120
you know a mister Robert Pendennis? He's an accountant. I
140
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:22.120
don't need an accountant here. This is his picture. Why
141
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.680
should I know him? Well, we have reason to believe
142
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:27.120
he might have come here. Why would anyone want to
143
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:29.759
come to see me? Well, I don't know.
144
00:08:29.879 --> 00:08:30.879
I've only got.
145
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:35.200
One room here, you see, and it's got my whole life.
146
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:36.519
But you can't come in.
147
00:08:36.919 --> 00:08:37.679
Uh.
148
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:42.360
Do you have any relatives? Family? Why were someone who
149
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:45.480
might be using mister pandenis as services? No, I have
150
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:49.639
no relatives. I have no family. Do you go out frequently?
151
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:50.399
Could he have.
152
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:53.279
Come by while you were out? I never go out,
153
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:58.360
not even to shaw I never go out. Excuse me,
154
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:04.159
I must go now easy. I'm going to die soon. Oh,
155
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:22.080
I'm sorry if I disturbed you, Missus Grady. It oh hello, lieutenant,
156
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:28.200
come in. Did you find anything? I'm afraid not. This
157
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:30.879
address is for a one room tenement apartment in the
158
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.879
South End. It's occupied by an elderly lady and shut in.
159
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:38.120
I shut in, never goes out, keeps the blinds down,
160
00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:39.000
the TV running.
161
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:42.759
What business could Rob possibly have with a person like that?
162
00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:46.360
Her name is Elsa Grady? Does that name ring a bell?
163
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:47.279
No?
164
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.279
She said she didn't know your husband hadn't seen him.
165
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:55.879
Well, I'm sorry, but I haven't any other evidence to
166
00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:56.279
give you.
167
00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:59.759
We'll do all the usual things. Check the local hospitals
168
00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:02.519
JA so for circulator's picture and description.
169
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:04.240
Is there anything I can do?
170
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:07.039
Have you got access to his client file?
171
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:07.480
Yes?
172
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:10.440
He keeps the duplicate set here at Harmy, often works at.
173
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:11.240
Night in his study.
174
00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:14.600
Well you could go through those see if Elsa Grady's
175
00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:17.360
name or address appears in any of them, and we'll
176
00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:20.600
keep in touch and of course call me immediately if.
177
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:21.080
You hear anything.
178
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:23.840
But even if there were some connection to one of
179
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:27.320
his clients, why would Rob just disappear like this, I mean,
180
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:30.799
without a word. He must know. I'm worried. Why isn't
181
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:34.360
he called? I know something's happened to him?
182
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:43.720
Lieutenant, I know it, Cannet.
183
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:45.000
How good does he come in?
184
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:45.799
Thank you?
185
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:46.759
Well?
186
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:48.840
To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?
187
00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:49.720
How's Robert?
188
00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:50.080
So?
189
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:53.519
The answer to the first question is that I don't
190
00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:55.320
know the answer to the second.
191
00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:58.519
Tol He's vanished, vanished.
192
00:10:58.600 --> 00:10:59.720
It's been three.
193
00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:01.360
Days now now I haven't heard a word.
194
00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:06.399
How uncharacteristic of him. You did never fight, did you?
195
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.679
No? No, I've already been to the police.
196
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:10.240
Yeah.
197
00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:13.279
The family's never liked publicity. Janet, you should have come
198
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.519
straight to me. I've been the Pendennis family lawyer for
199
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:17.120
forty years.
200
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:19.120
Well, that's why I'm here now. The police are no
201
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:22.519
help at all. I want to hire a private investigator.
202
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:24.120
Can you tell me what happened?
203
00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:29.840
Rob got a phone call and then just disappeared. He
204
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:31.000
wrote down an address.
205
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:33.080
Have you got that with you?
206
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:33.440
Yes?
207
00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:36.559
Now, the police have already been there.
208
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:40.159
It's a ten minute apartment in the South End occupied
209
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:41.600
by an old woman has shut in?
210
00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:43.799
Did Robert Noah?
211
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.639
I don't know how or why. Her name is Elsa Grady.
212
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:51.879
What could a private investigator do?
213
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:52.480
Well?
214
00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:55.440
See if that woman was in some way connected to
215
00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:57.399
one of Rob's tax clients.
216
00:11:57.559 --> 00:11:59.960
That could open a real ten of worms.
217
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:00.679
Through the files.
218
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:03.799
Myself, I didn't see anything, but someone was trained.
219
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.720
Maybe he rob as a large client Elgenet. It could
220
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:10.759
get expensive. I don't care about the expense, of course,
221
00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:13.919
not here. But you realize it could also take a
222
00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:17.200
good deal of time, to say nothing of possibly violating
223
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:21.519
the client's privileged relationship with Robert Douglas. Robert is missing,
224
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:23.639
he might be hurt, he might be in trouble.
225
00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:28.039
Bring the files to my office.
226
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.039
Better still, I'll send someone over for them and go
227
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:31.960
through them myself.
228
00:12:32.799 --> 00:12:34.759
But I'm sure Robert will turn up soon.
229
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:37.679
He is not an inconsiderate person.
230
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:38.919
I have an idea.
231
00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:42.240
Oh, why don't we go to this address ourselves? What's
232
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:46.080
the user? Perhaps the police frightened the old woman here.
233
00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.200
Perhaps if she saw you, the wife, if.
234
00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:56.919
She did have anything to tell us, she would Oh, yes, yes,
235
00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:08.759
that's a good idea. Let's go, Missus Grady.
236
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:10.519
It doesn't seem to be anyone.
237
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:12.200
Here, Missus Grady.
238
00:13:12.759 --> 00:13:15.919
There has to be. Lieutenant Warren said she never went out.
239
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:17.919
Missus Grady.
240
00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:26.320
Please say, Janet, go in. She's not here.
241
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:28.639
Room.
242
00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:33.000
It's a mess. Looks like there's been a fight.
243
00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:39.080
Or someone searching for something. Bureau drawers are pulled out.
244
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:41.840
Lord, what nothing?
245
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:43.320
What's that you found?
246
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:45.759
Really, it's just an empty picture frame.
247
00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:50.159
It seems to be pure silvers or an odd thing
248
00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:55.159
to find in an apartment like this. It's beautiful, something
249
00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:58.360
from the past. So sad to think of.
250
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:02.799
People growing old being alone.
251
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:09.399
What the bed feitzare stains that looked like blood?
252
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:11.679
Douglas? Work could have happened?
253
00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:14.480
Do you think she's been kidnapped?
254
00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:15.399
A worse?
255
00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:16.000
Oh?
256
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:17.320
What's the matter?
257
00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:17.799
Oh?
258
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:21.399
I get turned something, Douglas.
259
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:24.000
It's Tye class.
260
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:26.759
You recognize it?
261
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:28.799
Yes?
262
00:14:30.759 --> 00:14:33.399
I gave this Thie class to Robert on our last
263
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:39.919
wedding anniversary. If he has his initials r JP, So
264
00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:46.039
he was here, But where is he now? And what's
265
00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:47.279
happened to that old woman?
266
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:55.240
What has happened? Indeed, is always advisable to end and
267
00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:58.240
act with a question or two to ponder during the interval.
268
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:02.039
Don't you think Robert has not appeared in our story?
269
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:04.200
I find I formed a very.
270
00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:06.200
Distinct impression of him.
271
00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:10.519
Shy, polight, a man of strict habits, altogether, not the
272
00:15:10.559 --> 00:15:12.480
sort of person to act irresponsibly.
273
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:15.799
So then, just what is going on.
274
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:27.720
The plot will thicken decidedly when I return with Act two.
275
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:37.279
Successful marriages are based on many things, compromise, consideration, caring.
276
00:15:38.240 --> 00:15:40.960
There is no reason thus far it anyway to think
277
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:43.919
Janet and Robert's marriage was not successful.
278
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:46.200
But then what was it that.
279
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:49.799
Lured Robert away from his home late one night, leaving
280
00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:54.679
his wife frantic and distraught? Let us return to our story,
281
00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:57.720
for it has been said that there is an explanation
282
00:15:57.840 --> 00:15:59.519
for everything under the sun.
283
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.320
Robert didn't do anything to that old woman. I'll bet
284
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:05.879
he wasn't even here. Someone planted this pin.
285
00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:06.919
Well that's possible.
286
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:10.000
Of course, Robert has been kidnapped and someone's planning to
287
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:11.039
black man old.
288
00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:13.360
Chat that you're being exotic, am I.
289
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:16.159
There's a great deal of money still in the Pandenis family,
290
00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:16.600
isn't there.
291
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:17.679
I'm going to call the police.
292
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:19.480
Who will of cause you're right, chat At the police
293
00:16:19.559 --> 00:16:20.600
have to be told about this.
294
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:21.600
Come.
295
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:23.440
I'll take you, hope, and then take care of calling
296
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:28.360
Lieutenant Warren. If that's all right with you? What here
297
00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:30.039
that I'll call the police?
298
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:34.600
Oh yes, yes, of course, thank you Douglas. Oh it's
299
00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:37.440
such a relief at a time like this, to have
300
00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:46.360
someone I can trusts.
301
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.360
Hello, lieutenant, have you heard from your husband? No?
302
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.600
I came here to make a confession.
303
00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.960
A confession, yes, Oh, well please I shall.
304
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:02.799
Oh.
305
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:06.119
I don't think I did it on purpose. I mean,
306
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:08.480
I wasn't consciously intending to do it. I didn't even
307
00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:11.160
realize I still had it in my hand until I
308
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:11.720
got home.
309
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:13.279
What are you talking about?
310
00:17:13.960 --> 00:17:16.960
The tie class? Tie class, the one that was in
311
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:20.599
missus Grady's apartment. You were probably wondering what happened to it? Well,
312
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:25.920
here it is. It is Robert's. But I'm sure that you.
313
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:29.359
Are whoa Would you mind taking me back a couple
314
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:34.519
of steps. This was in Grady's apartment. How do you
315
00:17:34.599 --> 00:17:35.720
know how did you get it?
316
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:38.160
Well, didn't mister Jimson tell you?
317
00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:41.400
Who's mister Jimson Douglas Jimson.
318
00:17:41.480 --> 00:17:44.559
He's the Pendennis family lawyer. Didn't he call you?
319
00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:44.839
No?
320
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:48.079
Oh, he said he would. We went to that old
321
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:51.559
woman's apartment and she's vanished too.
322
00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:56.440
And you found this tie class. These are your husband's initials, orgiantaid.
323
00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:00.119
Robert Jacob Panditis. That Jacob was for his father, the
324
00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:02.720
one who was murdered by his secretary.
325
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:08.319
Oh. What else did you find some blood? Did you
326
00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:11.400
close the door when you left? Yes? And excuse me,
327
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:12.680
we better get down there right away.
328
00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:14.680
Oh uh?
329
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:17.839
What was that lawyer's name, Douglas Jimson Or what's the
330
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:18.599
story on him?
331
00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:21.400
Or he's with an old Boston firm's reputation is in
332
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:21.880
pack up?
333
00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:24.480
More than Why do you suppose he didn't call me? Well?
334
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:26.119
I don't know.
335
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:29.880
Maybe he thought he was protecting Robert, but Robert might
336
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:32.119
be in trouble. I don't believe for one minute he'd
337
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:34.359
hurt an old lady, and I don't think Douglas believes
338
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:37.119
that either. That brings us back to my original question.
339
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:52.079
Why didn't he call I? I don't know Robert?
340
00:18:52.599 --> 00:18:52.640
What?
341
00:18:53.759 --> 00:19:02.519
Oh Charity, Robert your home? Are you all right?
342
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:03.119
Well?
343
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:05.960
Sure, honey, I'm a lying hob.
344
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:07.160
I've been so worried.
345
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:10.119
I'm sorry. I tried to call you. Did you yes?
346
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:11.759
Several times? There was never any answer.
347
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:13.559
Well, I have been out a lot, but I was
348
00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:15.319
so concerned what happened to you.
349
00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:19.160
I've got a client in Dallas, an oil man. He
350
00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:22.119
called me said he's being audited by the government. You
351
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:24.960
know how Texans are, and they yell you jump but
352
00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:25.880
you could.
353
00:19:25.599 --> 00:19:28.400
Have told me what are you doing with your suitcase?
354
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:32.599
I have to go back to Dallas. Yes, it's going
355
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:36.680
to take longer than I thought, and I needed some things,
356
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:37.680
some stop for my file.
357
00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:40.880
Did you get what you needed?
358
00:19:42.279 --> 00:19:42.599
Yes?
359
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:45.480
Look, darling, I've just got time to get back to
360
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:47.759
the airport. I'll call you from Dallas.
361
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:53.599
Your files aren't here. But how could you get something
362
00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:55.240
from your file that they aren't here?
363
00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:57.079
Do you mean they're not here?
364
00:19:57.680 --> 00:20:04.119
They're in Douglas Jimpson's office. Oh Rob, what is going on?
365
00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:07.319
I told you I have a fee.
366
00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:09.960
I don't have any clients in Dallas. I know I've
367
00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:13.000
been through your files. Why to try to find out
368
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:14.559
what this address meant?
369
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:17.599
How did you get this?
370
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:19.920
He wrote it on the notepad by the phone, and
371
00:20:19.960 --> 00:20:21.400
it left an imprince for that.
372
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:23.720
It was you who sent the police there. Yes, I
373
00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:25.440
was worried. You shouldn't have done that.
374
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:31.799
So you were there. The tie class wasn't planted. You
375
00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:33.160
were there the whole time.
376
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.720
I have got to go there. Please, I don't have
377
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:37.319
much trap.
378
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:38.079
What is the matter?
379
00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:41.519
What is going on? I can explain everything, but not
380
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:45.359
now there There isn't time. I shouldn't have come home
381
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:45.640
at all.
382
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:46.559
Are you in trouble?
383
00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:48.960
Don't no, I'm okay greatly that you have got to
384
00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:51.359
promise me that you will stay away from the police.
385
00:20:51.400 --> 00:20:54.240
Don't go to them anymore. Why I am your husband.
386
00:20:54.240 --> 00:20:55.720
The police mustn't be brought into this.
387
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:57.279
It's someone after you know that.
388
00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:01.839
Please listen to me. Did you say you told Douglas
389
00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:04.720
about this? He seemed the logical person to turn to
390
00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:08.440
when you went to that apartment. Did he go with you? Yes,
391
00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:11.279
and you went in you looked around.
392
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:11.960
Yes.
393
00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:16.480
How did he react? What do you mean did he
394
00:21:16.559 --> 00:21:17.200
say anything?
395
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:22.519
No? For sure, he told me he would take care
396
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.119
of calling the police, but he never did.
397
00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:28.400
That.
398
00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:36.039
Did you mustn't see him again? Why not? It's not safe, Rob,
399
00:21:36.119 --> 00:21:39.039
He's like part of the family. Have got to go now,
400
00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:39.920
Will you trust me?
401
00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:41.839
Don't you all right?
402
00:21:41.960 --> 00:21:44.200
Yes, it's just something that's come up that I have
403
00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:44.640
to do.
404
00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:45.319
How long?
405
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:47.799
A few days of the most, and I'll be back,
406
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:50.960
I promise, And then you can tell me what's going on. Yes,
407
00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:55.400
If what I think is going to happen, does I
408
00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:57.200
can tell you everything?
409
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:10.920
Oh? Lieutenant?
410
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:14.960
May I come in? Oh? What do you want? Well,
411
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:17.440
we've just finished our search of the apartment.
412
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:19.279
I thought you might like to know what we found.
413
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:19.960
May I come in?
414
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:22.400
Oh, yes, of course, I'm sorry.
415
00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:25.200
Are you all right?
416
00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:27.160
Yes, I'm fine.
417
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:31.279
This case has taken a rather curious turn. Missus ban Dennis.
418
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:34.240
I'm going to have to ask you some questions about
419
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:35.119
your husband's family.
420
00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:39.920
I'll try to be of what help I can. Did
421
00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:42.039
you find out what happened to that woman?
422
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:44.359
Not yet, but we found out who she is.
423
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:46.559
Her name is Elsa Grady.
424
00:22:46.839 --> 00:22:47.559
No, no, it isn't.
425
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:49.599
Her name is Shelley Malone.
426
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:58.720
Shelley Malone, But that's the woman who killed Robert's father,
427
00:22:58.839 --> 00:22:59.599
the secretary.
428
00:22:59.599 --> 00:22:59.920
That's right.
429
00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:03.519
Did your husband Livers say.
430
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:06.680
Anything to you about Shelley, Well, he told me the
431
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:08.720
story of the murder case, but that was all.
432
00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:11.279
He never expressed any feelings about her.
433
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:12.440
He would never talk about it.
434
00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:15.720
Do you think he harbored a hatred of her?
435
00:23:16.240 --> 00:23:21.960
You mean it enough to take revenge? No, Robert wouldn't
436
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:22.920
just something like that.
437
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:25.640
He couldn't. Some people are known to do exceptional things
438
00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:29.039
when family ties are involved, especially an old family like
439
00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:29.920
the Pandenicis.
440
00:23:30.079 --> 00:23:32.720
But all of this happened before Robert was even born.
441
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:35.039
He never knew this woman. He never even knew his father.
442
00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:36.720
I think he.
443
00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:41.440
Always felt very, very removed from the whole thing. Perhaps,
444
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:44.920
but his mother was fanatical on the subject. She tried
445
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:48.680
for years to track Shelley Malone down. There's even evidence
446
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:50.960
that she made it known she'd be willing to pay
447
00:23:51.119 --> 00:23:52.240
to have Shelley killed.
448
00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:56.680
Missus Pendennis was a very unstable woman, Lieutenant, especially in
449
00:23:56.720 --> 00:23:57.319
her last year.
450
00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:00.599
It's still it's possible that these feelings tried transmitted to
451
00:24:00.640 --> 00:24:04.279
a son. As I recall the story, Shelley Malone was
452
00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:07.920
Jacob Pandenis's secretary for about seven years, and then in
453
00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:11.720
January of nineteen thirty eighty fired her. Yes, but do
454
00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:12.400
you know the reason.
455
00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:15.640
I'm not sure. I think it was a question of
456
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:16.480
her competence.
457
00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:21.119
Shelley was known as something of a hothead. After she
458
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:23.480
was let go, she was hurt to threaten her former
459
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:24.319
employer's life.
460
00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:27.640
Well, that was the depression years. It must have been
461
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:29.319
a terrible time to be out of work.
462
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:33.400
Yes, but Jacob Pandenis was murdered several months later. Missus
463
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:36.039
Pandennis went into his study and caught Shelley there rifling
464
00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:36.640
his safe.
465
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:38.079
Her husband was.
466
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:39.799
Slumped over his desk, stabbed to death.
467
00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:41.240
Is that right?
468
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:41.559
It?
469
00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:48.000
No, Douglas Jimson was with her with Missus Pendennis.
470
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:53.599
H Jimson again, so he was involved in this.
471
00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:57.720
I believe both he and Missus Pandenis testified at the inquest.
472
00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:00.720
He was a young lawyer then he just hired by
473
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:03.920
the family. He was at the house on business and
474
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:06.599
Missus Pendennis was showing him into her husband's study.
475
00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:07.680
And that's how they came on showing.
476
00:25:07.839 --> 00:25:11.240
Yes, she fled before either of them could recover enough
477
00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:13.559
to stop her, and she was never found, never brought
478
00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:15.640
to trial. The case was closed.
479
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:17.279
Until now.
480
00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:23.480
Do you really suspect Robert of doing something to her?
481
00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:28.000
That's how it looks frankly, what other business could he
482
00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:28.599
have with her?
483
00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:31.440
But how did he find her?
484
00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:34.480
Who? No, it was a good private detective or willingness
485
00:25:34.480 --> 00:25:36.640
to keep at it, to pay whatever was necessary.
486
00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:44.920
Lieutenant Robert was here when held been an hour ago
487
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:46.559
when I came home from the police station.
488
00:25:47.640 --> 00:25:48.519
Well where is he now?
489
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:52.279
I don't know. I caught him by surprise. He was
490
00:25:52.319 --> 00:25:53.279
packing a suitcase.
491
00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:54.839
Didn't you try to stop him? Yes?
492
00:25:54.880 --> 00:25:55.559
But I didn't know.
493
00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:59.359
Did he admit to going to Shelley's apartment. Yes, so
494
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:02.200
he was probably there when I came to the door.
495
00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:05.960
That explains the fear in Shelley's voice when I talked
496
00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:08.480
to her. That's what she was trying to tell me.
497
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:11.480
What was She kept saying I couldn't come in, almost
498
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:13.480
as if she wanted me to contradict her. And then
499
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:15.920
as I was leaving, she told me she was going
500
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:19.920
to die. She was trying to alert me, and I
501
00:26:20.039 --> 00:26:22.880
just wrote it off to the craziness of an old
502
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.279
shut in. After your husband left, why didn't you call
503
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:29.480
the police? He asked me not to missus. Pandennis, we
504
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:32.160
are talking about a possible murdered charge.
505
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:36.960
I know, but he said he could explain what was happening. No,
506
00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:39.039
he said he would when he came back in a
507
00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:40.279
few days.
508
00:26:40.720 --> 00:26:46.799
A few days, he promised. This is Pandennis. I'm afraid
509
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:50.319
it's very possible we may never see your husband again.
510
00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:58.759
We begin with an event, a man's disappearance, and build
511
00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:02.759
on that. Complications are added that change the direction of51200:27:02.799 --> 00:27:06.559
the story. Characters who seemed bad turn out to be51300:27:06.599 --> 00:27:11.160
good or vice versa. Gradually for the persons at the51400:27:11.200 --> 00:27:14.559
center of the drama and the audience. The world begins51500:27:14.559 --> 00:27:18.400
to take on the aspect of a gigantic illusion. Where51600:27:18.440 --> 00:27:20.480
does the truth lie?51700:27:20.640 --> 00:27:22.440
And when is a lie?51800:27:22.799 --> 00:27:27.319
The truth? The answers would seem to hang suspended somewhere51900:27:27.680 --> 00:27:33.200
between Lieutenant Warren's persistence and Janet Van Denis's instincts. We52000:27:33.240 --> 00:27:37.480
will find out precisely where when I return with our52100:27:37.519 --> 00:27:38.319
final act.52200:27:42.960 --> 00:27:46.960
Who may know you?52300:27:51.119 --> 00:27:54.359
It takes nine months to create a man, said Pascal,52400:27:54.640 --> 00:27:59.039
and a lifetime to know him, and sometimes we might52500:27:59.079 --> 00:28:03.759
add not even for before whom do we really stand?52600:28:03.920 --> 00:28:07.599
Revealed Janet pen Dennis might have wished for a bit52700:28:07.640 --> 00:28:10.839
more revelation from her husband before his second disappearance.52800:28:11.200 --> 00:28:12.519
For now she finds.52900:28:12.240 --> 00:28:15.359
Herself the wife of a suspected murderer.53000:28:16.160 --> 00:28:19.359
You're accusing Robert of killing that old woman.53100:28:19.640 --> 00:28:21.680
I'll have to ask for a warrant be issued for53200:28:21.720 --> 00:28:24.480
his arrest, and I'd appreciate it if you do me53300:28:24.519 --> 00:28:29.640
in favor. Don't call Douglas Jimson. Why not, I'm going53400:28:29.680 --> 00:28:32.759
over to see him now now that we know who53500:28:32.759 --> 00:28:35.279
the old woman is. I'm more curious than ever why53600:28:35.279 --> 00:28:38.480
he didn't call the police. Anyone else still living who53700:28:38.519 --> 00:28:42.200
worked for Jacob Pendan when his business manager was a53800:28:42.240 --> 00:28:43.720
man named Gilbert Kleig.53900:28:43.839 --> 00:28:46.319
I believe Douglas mentioned recently that he's living north of54000:28:46.359 --> 00:28:49.039
here in Gloucesterville.54100:28:49.240 --> 00:28:49.720
Well, thank you.54200:28:49.799 --> 00:28:52.559
I know this isn't easy, and I appreciate your cooperation.54300:28:53.720 --> 00:28:56.519
If it's any consolation, homicide will be coming onto the54400:28:56.519 --> 00:29:00.200
case now, if nothing else, that increases our chances of54500:29:00.279 --> 00:29:08.039
finding your husband. Tell me, mister Jimson, are you still54600:29:08.119 --> 00:29:09.920
retained by the Pandennis family.54700:29:10.319 --> 00:29:13.839
Not really, no, he I do occasional legal work for them, but.54800:29:13.880 --> 00:29:15.880
I'm more retired than not.54900:29:17.400 --> 00:29:24.160
Sir, you were a witness to Jacob Pandenis's murder, won't you, Jacob, Well, yes,55000:29:25.440 --> 00:29:29.039
oh not to the actual murder itself. No, Missus Pendennis55100:29:29.079 --> 00:29:32.000
and I came upon the scene minutes too late to55200:29:32.039 --> 00:29:35.920
prevent it. But what does all that have to do55300:29:35.960 --> 00:29:39.720
with Robert. I'm just trying to figure this out. That55400:29:39.799 --> 00:29:40.920
murder received.55500:29:40.599 --> 00:29:41.359
A lot of press.55600:29:42.279 --> 00:29:45.680
Jacob Pendennis was a distinguished man. It's an old Boston family.55700:29:46.400 --> 00:29:48.519
The police were obliged to do their best to find55800:29:48.519 --> 00:29:50.759
the woman who was accused of what was.55900:29:50.759 --> 00:29:54.359
Her name, Malone? I believe Shelley Malone.56000:29:55.519 --> 00:29:58.799
It's the biggest man hunting Boston's history couldn't locate her,56100:29:58.799 --> 00:30:01.839
And yet now, nearly forty years later, she suddenly surfaces,56200:30:02.440 --> 00:30:04.119
and right here in Boston.56300:30:04.400 --> 00:30:07.160
Really, you mean she's still alive?56400:30:08.880 --> 00:30:12.119
How, mister Jenson, who found her?56500:30:13.720 --> 00:30:15.680
I don't know? Was it you?56600:30:17.640 --> 00:30:20.759
I'm afraid I don't really know what you're getting at. Lieutenant.56700:30:20.920 --> 00:30:23.519
You went to her apartment with Janet pan Dennis.56800:30:23.400 --> 00:30:29.200
Yes, and she wasn't there, neither was Robert.56900:30:29.920 --> 00:30:32.200
You told missus Pandennis not to call the police, that57000:30:32.279 --> 00:30:33.599
you'd take care of doing it.57100:30:34.839 --> 00:30:39.720
I see, And you want to know why I didn't call.57200:30:41.680 --> 00:30:47.680
My first responsibility is to my client's lieutenant to protect them. Sir,57300:30:47.759 --> 00:30:49.880
two minutes ago you told me the pandeniss were no57400:30:49.960 --> 00:30:50.880
longer your clients.57500:30:50.880 --> 00:30:54.160
Well, Lieutenant, are you trying to implicate me in all this?57600:30:54.400 --> 00:30:58.160
You knew it was Shelley Malone's apartment, yes, but not57700:30:58.359 --> 00:30:59.279
before I went there.57800:31:00.240 --> 00:31:02.079
I had no idea that she was still living.57900:31:02.160 --> 00:31:04.599
How did you find out it was her apartment by58000:31:04.759 --> 00:31:07.000
a silver picture frame on the bureau.58100:31:07.839 --> 00:31:10.119
I remember Jacob had given her to her that Christmas?58200:31:10.160 --> 00:31:11.680
What about the phone calls?58300:31:12.400 --> 00:31:13.240
What phone calls?58400:31:13.400 --> 00:31:13.759
The ones?58500:31:13.839 --> 00:31:16.000
Janet answered, when the other party hung up. The one58600:31:16.119 --> 00:31:18.119
Robert answered just before he vanished.58700:31:18.440 --> 00:31:20.160
I know nothing about them, Lieutenant.58800:31:20.279 --> 00:31:21.160
I assure you.58900:31:20.920 --> 00:31:23.119
Your assurance is aren't worth a great deal to me,59000:31:23.240 --> 00:31:25.759
mister Jimson, As far as I'm concerned, you're an accomplice59100:31:25.759 --> 00:31:31.839
in this whole business, suspected accomplice and anyway, what business59200:31:32.000 --> 00:31:36.880
Shelley Malone's abduction and possible death? Are you really that59300:31:37.000 --> 00:31:39.920
keen on revenge after all these years? How much money59400:31:39.960 --> 00:31:43.240
did she steal? I just remember the exact amount, A59500:31:43.240 --> 00:31:46.440
few thousand dollars, perhaps hardly enough to warrant the kind59600:31:46.480 --> 00:31:50.119
of fanatical activity or trying to lay at my Doorset,59700:31:51.279 --> 00:31:53.759
we need to talk to anyone else who might still59800:31:53.799 --> 00:31:56.119
be alive, who was part of the Pandenis household at59900:31:56.119 --> 00:31:59.839
that time. Well, I'm afraid you're out of luck there.60000:32:01.000 --> 00:32:06.440
Everyone's gone except me. Know what about Gilbert Kleeg? According60100:32:06.480 --> 00:32:09.000
to Janet, he's living in Gloustonville already.60200:32:09.839 --> 00:32:10.359
I didn't know.60300:32:11.119 --> 00:32:16.079
Oh that's interesting, mister Jimson, since you're the one who60400:32:16.160 --> 00:32:21.759
told her. Uh, Lieutenant, you spoke to Shelley Malone, didn't60500:32:21.759 --> 00:32:24.519
you when you went to her apartment the first time? Yes?60600:32:25.599 --> 00:32:31.319
What was your impression of her? Why if she was adult?60700:32:31.400 --> 00:32:36.000
You know, always Jacob treated her with every kindness, but60800:32:36.680 --> 00:32:39.759
she was prone to the bizarre fantasies.60900:32:40.680 --> 00:32:42.480
It finally apposed Jacob to let her go.61000:32:42.720 --> 00:32:44.640
Are you telling me she was crazy?61100:32:44.839 --> 00:32:47.559
Well, I hate to use label, and you have.61200:32:47.599 --> 00:32:50.839
A particular fantasy in mind you want to tell me about?61300:32:51.039 --> 00:32:57.039
Uh no, I see, just planting the seed for later.61400:32:57.160 --> 00:32:57.319
Then?61500:32:57.480 --> 00:32:57.920
Is that it?61600:32:57.960 --> 00:33:00.920
In case she has something she wants to tell us.61700:33:02.039 --> 00:33:16.839
Good day, mister Jimson. Yes you Janet Ben Dennis. Yes,61800:33:17.200 --> 00:33:21.680
Robert's wife. My name is Gilbert Creed. I worked for61900:33:22.000 --> 00:33:26.960
Robert's father at one time. I was his business manager. Oh, yes,62000:33:27.599 --> 00:33:28.240
please come in.62100:33:28.680 --> 00:33:29.000
Thank you.62200:33:30.559 --> 00:33:33.559
I hope I'm not disturbing you.62300:33:33.640 --> 00:33:37.599
Oh no, I'm very glad. Please forgive the house, forgive62400:33:37.640 --> 00:33:38.200
my appearing.62500:33:38.640 --> 00:33:45.319
I understand I've heard about Robert's disappearance. I gather the62600:33:45.359 --> 00:33:51.079
police suspect Robert possibly hurting Miss Malone, so I thought62700:33:51.119 --> 00:33:53.039
it might be important to come.62800:33:52.839 --> 00:33:53.319
To see you.62900:33:54.240 --> 00:33:59.480
Yes, you see, I always had my doubts whether it63000:33:59.559 --> 00:34:02.759
really was Sheffey who killed Jacob.63100:34:03.960 --> 00:34:04.279
Why.63200:34:05.279 --> 00:34:10.480
Well, shortly after she was dismissed, I was going over63300:34:10.559 --> 00:34:15.320
the accounts and I came up eighty five hundred dollars short.63400:34:15.719 --> 00:34:19.519
I pointed this out to Jacob. He was very meticulous63500:34:19.559 --> 00:34:23.079
about money, he had to be in those times, but63600:34:23.119 --> 00:34:27.199
this didn't bother him. He told me to just credit63700:34:27.239 --> 00:34:29.760
it his misladeous account.63800:34:30.400 --> 00:34:32.119
That's a fair amount of money.63900:34:32.159 --> 00:34:35.880
They are And after his death and when Cheffy was64000:34:35.920 --> 00:34:39.360
accused of robin him as well, the amount in question64100:34:40.079 --> 00:34:43.280
is just that eighty five hundred dollars.64200:34:44.559 --> 00:34:46.920
It sounds like Jacob gave her the money.64300:34:47.159 --> 00:34:51.159
Yeah, why didn't you mention this at the time. Well,64400:34:51.280 --> 00:34:55.119
I wanted to check through the books again, and before64500:34:55.239 --> 00:35:00.280
I could, I was let go by missus Pendea. Yeah,64600:35:00.800 --> 00:35:05.920
you think Shelley was framed? Possibly, But the question then64700:35:06.280 --> 00:35:09.119
is why Jacob and Theahble the bunny tall.64800:35:10.440 --> 00:35:12.880
Could Shelley have been blackmail on?64900:35:13.480 --> 00:35:18.159
No, Shelly wasn't that kind of person, all her wildness.65000:35:18.400 --> 00:35:21.480
She wasn't a criminal. Yet she was accused of murder65100:35:21.519 --> 00:35:26.320
heir by missus Pendinis and Douglas Jimson.65200:35:28.840 --> 00:35:29.760
Jemmy Janet.65300:35:30.599 --> 00:35:33.039
How did Robert find Shelley?65400:35:34.079 --> 00:35:36.760
I don't know. There was a phone call, a number65500:35:36.800 --> 00:35:39.400
of phone calls, but when I answered the person hung up.65600:35:39.840 --> 00:35:47.800
I say, I think it was Shelley herself made those calls. Shelley,65700:35:48.119 --> 00:35:53.320
why I have an idea where they might be. It's65800:35:53.360 --> 00:35:57.119
long shot, but if you're up to a drive.65900:35:58.079 --> 00:35:59.119
We could go there together.66000:35:59.440 --> 00:36:02.079
Mister Cli, I'm so nervous and worried, I'll go anywhere.66100:36:02.480 --> 00:36:05.559
The place I have in mind is Dennis Wood at66200:36:05.599 --> 00:36:06.639
the main coast.66300:36:06.840 --> 00:36:08.480
The old Pendennis summer estate.66400:36:08.639 --> 00:36:11.119
M it'scluded by it.66500:36:12.719 --> 00:36:16.960
Robert when he left, he took a heavy top coat66600:36:17.039 --> 00:36:19.400
and gloves. It would be getting called up there this66700:36:19.519 --> 00:36:25.119
time of year. But then you don't think Shoey's dead.66800:36:25.280 --> 00:36:29.320
No, I got a different idea. But we can talk,66900:36:29.679 --> 00:36:30.480
and the way up.67000:36:30.719 --> 00:36:31.719
We can take my car.67100:36:32.679 --> 00:36:34.239
Just give me a minute to run upstairs and throw67200:36:34.280 --> 00:36:41.159
some things and travel bag. I'm ready with your clean I'm.67300:36:41.000 --> 00:36:41.920
Sorry it kept you wak.67400:36:42.400 --> 00:36:45.360
That's perfectly all right at it, Douglas.67500:36:45.519 --> 00:36:48.119
It it gave me a chance to catch up with67600:36:48.199 --> 00:36:51.480
you as Robert contacted you.67700:36:51.599 --> 00:36:56.639
Yet, No, are you telling me the truth? If you67800:36:56.760 --> 00:36:57.239
know nothing?67900:37:00.079 --> 00:37:02.079
PRIs mister cleek, Well you could see he's gone.68000:37:03.760 --> 00:37:04.800
What have you done to him?68100:37:04.960 --> 00:37:07.920
I told him Robert had been found that I was68200:37:07.920 --> 00:37:09.960
here to take you down to police headquarters. You've done68300:37:10.000 --> 00:37:15.760
something terrible, haven't you? Why didn't you call the police?68400:37:16.519 --> 00:37:20.239
You don't want them to find Rob. You want him68500:37:20.239 --> 00:37:22.280
to kill Shelley because she knows the truth.68600:37:22.360 --> 00:37:24.239
That's right, she knows the truth.68700:37:25.440 --> 00:37:26.880
She didn't kill Jacob, did she?68800:37:27.119 --> 00:37:27.320
No?68900:37:29.079 --> 00:37:33.000
What have you done? What are you trying to cover up?69000:37:34.039 --> 00:37:37.400
Cleik thinks Robert might be at Dennis Wood. That's as69100:37:37.400 --> 00:37:38.280
good a gamble as any.69200:37:38.639 --> 00:37:39.519
You're going up there?69300:37:39.599 --> 00:37:41.159
Yes, with you?69400:37:41.159 --> 00:37:45.519
No, I have a gun with me, Janet, and it69500:37:45.719 --> 00:37:48.519
is quite imperative that I get to Robert before the69600:37:48.559 --> 00:37:57.039
police too. What are you going to do?69700:37:57.280 --> 00:37:57.960
I don't know.69800:38:00.079 --> 00:38:01.519
Did you kill Robert's father?69900:38:02.519 --> 00:38:06.000
No, but I might as well have.70000:38:08.039 --> 00:38:08.679
Who did.70100:38:10.599 --> 00:38:12.239
Missus pen Dennis?70200:38:12.599 --> 00:38:14.519
His wife?70300:38:14.960 --> 00:38:17.920
She confessed to me. I didn't ask her to. I70400:38:17.960 --> 00:38:18.639
didn't want her to.70500:38:19.880 --> 00:38:20.960
Shelley.70600:38:21.639 --> 00:38:26.280
Shelley was innocent, and for forty years she's been living70700:38:26.360 --> 00:38:28.880
in hiding. Did you see how she was living?70800:38:29.119 --> 00:38:31.480
Missus Pendennis was willing to pay a great deal of70900:38:31.519 --> 00:38:35.199
money for someone to.71000:38:33.800 --> 00:38:39.360
Corroborate a story. I was young. It's no excuse.71100:38:39.440 --> 00:38:44.239
My career has been beyond reproach, except for that one mistake,71200:38:44.480 --> 00:38:45.400
one mistake.71300:38:46.519 --> 00:38:48.800
You could have put an end to it anytime you want.71400:38:48.920 --> 00:38:52.960
I know, I know, but out of sight, out of mind.71500:38:54.239 --> 00:38:57.719
Oh that's terrible, I realized. But that's how it is.71600:38:58.679 --> 00:39:02.199
I think Shelley had gone off somewhere, made a fresh start,71700:39:02.280 --> 00:39:05.440
a decent life for herself. I never dreamed, but she71800:39:05.599 --> 00:39:08.480
was still in Boston. But why.71900:39:10.000 --> 00:39:12.559
Why did missus Pendemis kill her husband?72000:39:13.039 --> 00:39:16.280
I can't tell you that, not yet.72100:39:18.119 --> 00:39:19.159
What are you going to do?72200:39:20.480 --> 00:39:21.360
I don't know?72300:39:21.519 --> 00:39:21.719
Why?72400:39:21.719 --> 00:39:22.920
Will you stop asking me?72500:39:23.000 --> 00:39:23.079
That?72600:39:23.280 --> 00:39:25.039
Will Robert kill me?72700:39:25.400 --> 00:39:29.599
I have a gun, I can't use it.72800:39:29.639 --> 00:39:30.559
I don't know how.72900:39:32.039 --> 00:39:33.920
I don't know what I'm going to do.73000:39:41.960 --> 00:39:44.239
Here's the house saves the light, honor.73100:39:44.840 --> 00:39:46.920
It's one of the downstairs rules.73200:39:47.679 --> 00:39:48.559
When is here?73300:39:50.960 --> 00:39:53.360
What it's Rob?73400:39:54.800 --> 00:39:57.840
I can see him through the window. Oh no, what73500:39:58.159 --> 00:40:00.280
Shelley is with him? She's lying on the sofa about73600:40:00.280 --> 00:40:04.079
this mother? What yoh yo?73700:40:04.280 --> 00:40:04.639
Stop?73800:40:05.840 --> 00:40:09.039
Oh Robert, Robin? What have you done? He studies?73900:40:09.079 --> 00:40:09.360
Don't you?74000:40:09.599 --> 00:40:10.400
What is she did?74100:40:11.199 --> 00:40:11.440
Yes?74200:40:11.719 --> 00:40:15.280
She I just passed away. Oh it looked like you would.74300:40:15.840 --> 00:40:17.239
You were trying to smother her.74400:40:17.519 --> 00:40:21.480
I was outfully was sheet up to cover her face?74500:40:22.199 --> 00:40:25.800
Rob, what's the matter? You're crying.74600:40:27.559 --> 00:40:29.079
That's because.74700:40:30.159 --> 00:40:32.840
Shelley Malone was his mother.74800:40:34.719 --> 00:40:36.960
What that's right.74900:40:38.719 --> 00:40:43.599
She and Jacob had an affair and she was dismissed because.75000:40:43.360 --> 00:40:44.119
She was pregnant.75100:40:46.239 --> 00:40:48.800
Jacob thought by giving her a large sum of money,75200:40:48.880 --> 00:40:54.280
it would discharge his obligation. But after Robert was born,75300:40:54.400 --> 00:40:58.320
she came back to see him. She hoped that by75400:40:58.519 --> 00:41:03.000
showing him his son, she might persuade him to leave75500:41:03.000 --> 00:41:10.159
his wife. Instead, missus Pendennis discovered them, and when she75600:41:10.320 --> 00:41:14.320
learned the truth, she stabbed Jacob.75700:41:16.679 --> 00:41:20.079
Shelley fled, and Robert was left behind.75800:41:21.960 --> 00:41:25.639
Under the pretext of grieving for Jacob's death, Missus Pendennis75900:41:25.760 --> 00:41:28.719
went into seclusion for a number of months, and when76000:41:28.719 --> 00:41:34.840
she emerged, Robert was her childhood and her place in76100:41:34.880 --> 00:41:39.239
the lucrative bosom of the Bendennis family was insured.76200:41:39.920 --> 00:41:41.519
And Robert never knew.76300:41:41.800 --> 00:41:44.119
No no.76400:41:44.480 --> 00:41:47.199
I was given the job of destroying the real birth76500:41:47.239 --> 00:41:53.360
records and seeing that new ones were forged. Oh, Robert,76600:41:54.639 --> 00:41:55.519
are you all right?76700:41:56.679 --> 00:41:59.360
She wouldn't even let me take her to a hospital.76800:42:01.039 --> 00:42:04.800
She was coughing out blood. You both knew she was dying,76900:42:06.480 --> 00:42:08.639
but she was still afraid she might be arrested.77000:42:09.880 --> 00:42:12.039
Then it was Shelley who called you.77100:42:13.000 --> 00:42:16.800
Did you realize I knew who it was. I suspected77200:42:16.840 --> 00:42:19.800
the whole truth a minute. I heard her voice even77300:42:19.880 --> 00:42:20.760
before he told me.77400:42:23.199 --> 00:42:27.199
I think that before you know. She wants to grow up.77500:42:28.119 --> 00:42:30.039
She followed me even the.77600:42:30.119 --> 00:42:32.760
Other times she went up. She was terrified she might77700:42:32.800 --> 00:42:35.559
be taught. I'm going to her.77800:42:37.599 --> 00:42:42.519
Do you know what herd you took the heart upon me?77900:42:44.559 --> 00:42:45.960
You know what I do?78000:42:48.320 --> 00:42:49.559
I can only I Martin.78100:42:54.119 --> 00:42:56.559
You would have said that the mind registered and susings78200:42:56.599 --> 00:43:00.920
from the very moment of birth, that things are stored78300:43:00.960 --> 00:43:05.840
away and never lost, and that under extraordinary circumstances, they78400:43:05.920 --> 00:43:09.800
may be with THEO. All his life, Robert had told78500:43:09.840 --> 00:43:13.159
your nion the knowledge of his true origin. But only78600:43:13.199 --> 00:43:17.280
at the last possible moment had this truth reviewed itself.78700:43:18.320 --> 00:43:20.880
I'll return with a final word of your moment.78800:43:33.639 --> 00:43:37.400
Shelley Malone was given a small, dignified burial for his78900:43:37.519 --> 00:43:40.440
part in the crime. Douglas Jimson was disbarred for life79000:43:40.760 --> 00:43:43.840
and sent to jail for a number of years. As79100:43:43.840 --> 00:43:46.760
for Janet and Roberts, people say they don't know a79200:43:46.760 --> 00:43:49.599
couple more devoted to the care and raising of their79300:43:49.639 --> 00:43:54.119
own children. Our cast included Russell Horton, Terry Keane and79400:43:54.239 --> 00:43:57.639
Ray Owens. The entire production was under the direction of79500:43:57.760 --> 00:44:02.880
Hymond Brown. Until next time pleasant.79600:44:31.480 --> 00:44:50.159
Wa ah, yes, very good, drink up. The tea is hot,79700:44:50.639 --> 00:44:56.960
piping hot, ready to warm you in such cold, cold circumstance.79800:44:58.360 --> 00:45:01.559
Is it just me? Or is it colder than normal?79900:45:02.440 --> 00:45:06.599
The air has a bit of a bite even in here,80000:45:06.760 --> 00:45:11.840
My dear, well, don't worry. Oh what's that? No, no, no,80100:45:12.519 --> 00:45:17.840
these walls are so thick. I worry about very very little.80200:45:19.000 --> 00:45:21.760
I'm just so glad you could come and spend this80300:45:21.920 --> 00:45:24.920
time with me. It means so much more than you80400:45:24.960 --> 00:45:29.679
might imagine to be just one happy little family.80500:45:36.079 --> 00:45:41.159

the best dramatic show of the year. Now to the81000:45:56.239 --> 00:46:00.639
upcoming story. A gentle story of three gentle people with81100:46:00.800 --> 00:46:04.559
modest murder in their hearts and quiet greed in their souls.81200:46:05.079 --> 00:46:07.480

any place at almost any time. Listen then as Ray81400:46:13.320 --> 00:46:16.880

Little Family, which begins at exactly one minute. Memo on81600:46:20.960 --> 00:46:25.800
medals Information you may not know about our military decorations.81700:46:26.639 --> 00:46:27.119
One of the.81800:46:27.039 --> 00:46:31.239
Most famous holders of the Silver Star was General John J.81900:46:31.519 --> 00:46:31.960
Pershing.82000:46:32.480 --> 00:46:35.599
He was awarded the medal in recognition of service during82100:46:35.639 --> 00:46:39.519
the Philippine Campaign before he went on to greater fame82200:46:39.599 --> 00:46:43.360
as Commander in Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces in82300:46:43.440 --> 00:46:48.000
World War One. Bestowing a trophy of honor and recognition82400:46:48.079 --> 00:46:51.519
of distinguished achievement goes back to the early days of82500:46:51.679 --> 00:46:56.679
civilized man. Probably the oldest record of a decoration is82600:46:56.719 --> 00:46:59.679
a wreath of laurel, which was used to crown winners82700:46:59.719 --> 00:47:03.679
of act athletic contests in ancient Greece. It is interesting82800:47:03.719 --> 00:47:06.880
to note that versions of the laurel reef appear even82900:47:06.960 --> 00:47:11.840
today on many modern medals of various nations. In the83000:47:11.920 --> 00:47:15.320
United States Navy, it is a tradition to award bonus83100:47:15.360 --> 00:47:20.199
points for advancement and rating based on medals and citations.83200:47:20.239 --> 00:47:24.360
For example, five extra points are given to winners of83300:47:24.400 --> 00:47:28.639
the Medal of Honor as unique accolades for valor and83400:47:28.800 --> 00:47:35.239
Superior Service medals symbolize our nation's recognition of individual dedication to.83500:47:35.280 --> 00:47:36.480
The cause of freedom.83600:47:37.639 --> 00:47:38.880

Another one we must have written to just I never111101:02:31.480 --> 01:02:34.239
get tired of writing about my little family.111201:02:38.719 --> 01:02:41.119
Well, Victorian, now that the paper is sign and I'll111301:02:41.159 --> 01:02:44.440
get my things ready, I suppose you better.111401:02:45.000 --> 01:02:46.840
I must say, it will feel good to slip into111501:02:46.880 --> 01:02:47.800
a white coat again.111601:02:48.360 --> 01:02:51.039
If only I hadn't shown away my fore head.111701:02:59.039 --> 01:03:02.199
In a moment. We continue with the third act of111801:03:04.039 --> 01:03:04.800
time spank.111901:03:06.280 --> 01:03:11.480
We have together ample capacity in freedom to defend freedom.112001:03:12.440 --> 01:03:18.559
This is NATO, the North Athletic treat Organization. Day after day,112101:03:18.800 --> 01:03:22.559
month after month, since April fourth, nineteen forty nine, the112201:03:22.719 --> 01:03:26.079
activities of the not Atletic Treaty Organization have moved steadily112301:03:26.159 --> 01:03:30.360
forward on many fronts. This complete cooperation must and will112401:03:30.480 --> 01:03:34.639
continue because the concept of national self sufficiency is out112501:03:34.679 --> 01:03:39.039
of date. Countries of the free world are interdependent and112601:03:39.480 --> 01:03:43.800
only in genuine partnership and by combining their resources, sharing112701:03:43.960 --> 01:03:47.400
that in many fields can progress and safety be found.112801:03:48.159 --> 01:03:50.639
The United States of America is a part of NATO.112901:03:51.519 --> 01:03:55.360
You should be aware of and alert to the objectives113001:03:55.440 --> 01:03:58.239
and programs of the naut Atletic Treaty Organizations.113101:03:59.159 --> 01:04:05.360
And now starring very noble with mister Lee Patrick, Act three.113201:04:05.239 --> 01:04:08.599
Of Just One Happy Little Family.113301:04:09.280 --> 01:04:16.039
Oh joke, A.113401:04:16.079 --> 01:04:16.679
Love to do that?113501:04:17.159 --> 01:04:18.760
That sounds at my teeth on edge.113601:04:18.920 --> 01:04:21.840
She's might have to be raised and sharp appointed.113701:04:21.920 --> 01:04:24.679
Professional pride with me are already in a minute.113801:04:24.960 --> 01:04:26.679
Surely you're not thinking of doing it now?113901:04:27.079 --> 01:04:27.599
Might as well.114001:04:27.760 --> 01:04:30.360
But she's liking us, sound as to us, don't it114101:04:30.440 --> 01:04:33.320
wait just a while longer before we send her away?114201:04:34.159 --> 01:04:37.679
I suppose so after tea time? Then, Golden Lias so114301:04:37.880 --> 01:04:40.039
l like tea time? And I hate to disappoint her,114401:04:40.239 --> 01:04:43.000
Oh very well, I can't.114501:04:42.840 --> 01:04:45.000
Beare to say, but I did this sound.114601:04:47.400 --> 01:04:50.440
Goden me child? Why are you standing here by the door?114701:04:52.119 --> 01:04:55.280
I wanted you to hear my sonny, oh my dear,114801:04:55.719 --> 01:04:58.800
and you see what you've written to her? I still114901:04:59.199 --> 01:05:04.320
sunshine and the blue and purple rose. And then but115001:05:04.480 --> 01:05:09.519
it's not Sidney's child. I can't think right now.115101:05:10.519 --> 01:05:11.639
I don't feel well.115201:05:11.800 --> 01:05:14.599
Money don't go. You're poor, dear. Why don't you go115301:05:14.760 --> 01:05:19.400
rest in your home and maybe you'll think of something. Yeers,115401:05:20.400 --> 01:05:25.599
I'll do that. Maybe by tea time, i'll think of something.115501:05:33.239 --> 01:05:36.320
She didn't make. That a lovely surprise. You're making tea115601:05:36.440 --> 01:05:39.039
for us, but you're not having any.115701:05:39.280 --> 01:05:39.320
No.115801:05:40.199 --> 01:05:42.519
I just so love the chocolate you made this morning.115901:05:42.559 --> 01:05:45.639
I decided to have it again instead of tea. But116001:05:45.760 --> 01:05:48.960
it doesn't have the flavor of your hast No, I116101:05:49.079 --> 01:05:49.719
imagine not.116201:05:50.199 --> 01:05:52.800
I jilly sandwiches are just the way I like them,116301:05:53.199 --> 01:05:54.320
or sprinkled with sugar.116401:05:54.760 --> 01:05:56.119
Daddy, don't have another.116501:05:56.559 --> 01:06:01.440
I believe I will to delicious. I enjoyed jelly sandwiches116601:06:01.559 --> 01:06:03.840
with my tea.116701:06:07.639 --> 01:06:10.360
Mister duncle, what's the matter. Do you have a touch116801:06:10.400 --> 01:06:16.360
of indigestion? It's plan indigestion. He's dead, dead to pick116901:06:16.519 --> 01:06:19.239
a child, so I should be dead. I poisoned you117001:06:19.519 --> 01:06:23.039
poisoned him. Yes, I hope you're not angry that I117101:06:23.239 --> 01:06:28.079
used so many of your urths. Couldn't how could you?117201:06:28.639 --> 01:06:29.960
You were going to get rid of me.117301:06:30.639 --> 01:06:32.480
That's why I had to put some of your earths117401:06:32.519 --> 01:06:36.239
in the sandwiches and tea. It's the tea, but I117501:06:36.360 --> 01:06:40.039
don't it doo, Yes, I know you've got to hasten.117601:06:40.280 --> 01:06:43.079
It's the antido so I don't think there is one. Mommy, duncle,117701:06:43.480 --> 01:06:48.239
your little recipe book didn't have one for him, low hemlock. Oh,117801:06:48.679 --> 01:06:56.199
you're right, there is no antidote. What's done done? Oh?117901:06:56.519 --> 01:06:59.280
Why did you do it? Child? You were planning to118001:06:59.360 --> 01:07:02.440
send me away? Hey, I heard you. My mommy and118101:07:02.559 --> 01:07:05.079
Daddy were going to send me away too. They didn't118201:07:05.159 --> 01:07:07.679
love me either, but I showed them how much I118301:07:07.840 --> 01:07:11.360
loved them. I sent them to heaven together, just like118401:07:11.639 --> 01:07:16.360
you and Daddy, duncle, and poisoned him. Goodness, No, I118501:07:16.599 --> 01:07:19.320
used an ax. This is the first time I've ever118601:07:19.480 --> 01:07:23.480
poisoned anyone. But if this big house. I didn't want118701:07:23.519 --> 01:07:25.880
to go to that big house. I didn't like it.118801:07:26.440 --> 01:07:27.079
Most of the time.118901:07:27.159 --> 01:07:28.400
They kept me locked in a room.119001:07:28.719 --> 01:07:31.119
But I got away and we thought.119101:07:30.920 --> 01:07:31.679
You were roots.119201:07:32.000 --> 01:07:32.440
I am.119301:07:32.719 --> 01:07:32.880
Oh.119401:07:33.079 --> 01:07:35.239
Yes, a nice old man who lives in the big119501:07:35.280 --> 01:07:38.039
House gave me the money. He's got lots and lots119601:07:38.119 --> 01:07:41.199
of it. General Robertie Lee gave it to him personally.119701:07:41.599 --> 01:07:47.239
Oh gold link chud No wonder you remind me of119801:07:47.400 --> 01:07:57.199
myself when I was a bill. Oh, oh, don't worry,119901:07:57.280 --> 01:08:00.840
mommy duncle. Now that you and Daddy Uncle have gone120001:08:00.880 --> 01:08:03.880
to heaven, I'll have to find another family to love.120101:08:04.760 --> 01:08:08.880
But I'll find one. I'm sure there are lots lots120201:08:08.920 --> 01:08:11.280
of people who would like to have a daughter.120301:08:11.960 --> 01:08:12.519
Black Me.120401:08:16.119 --> 01:08:21.239
Suspense in which mister Ray Nobles starred with Miss Lee120501:08:21.399 --> 01:08:25.880
Patrick and William and Robeston's production of Just One Happy120601:08:26.000 --> 01:08:31.359
Little Family and original radio play by John Thornton. Supporting120701:08:31.439 --> 01:08:34.199
mister Noble and Miss Patrick and Just One Happy Little120801:08:34.239 --> 01:08:35.000
Family were.120901:08:35.000 --> 01:08:36.720
Shirley Mitchell and David Shiner.121001:08:37.520 --> 01:08:42.760
Listen again next week when we return with another tale,121101:08:42.920 --> 01:08:46.920
well calculated to keep you in suspense.121201:09:12.720 --> 01:09:18.079
Well, my dear, I suppose that was a bit festive. Well,121301:09:18.560 --> 01:09:21.880
I do try to celebrate a bit. I do try121401:09:21.960 --> 01:09:28.239
to have that seasonal quality, even as time may not121501:09:29.279 --> 01:09:34.520
be what it once was. Or what's that? Well, I121601:09:34.640 --> 01:09:38.920
suppose it could use another log. I'll put one on121701:09:39.039 --> 01:09:45.319
the fire right now. Hmm. When I imagine all the121801:09:46.279 --> 01:09:54.039
travel and running around necessary to prepare a big bird dinner, well,121901:09:54.119 --> 01:09:58.840
I can't help but feel like, well, when you're going122001:09:59.039 --> 01:10:05.079
and going and going, you end up seven steps to murder.122101:10:07.319 --> 01:10:08.439
The Whistler.122201:10:18.640 --> 01:10:22.439
Presented by the United States Air Forces in Europe.122301:10:25.159 --> 01:10:28.560
I am the Whistler, and I know many thinks.122401:10:28.920 --> 01:10:32.399
Or I walk by night. I know many strange.122501:10:32.079 --> 01:10:35.079
Tales gidden in the hearts of men and women who.122601:10:34.960 --> 01:10:36.279
Have stepped into the shadows.122701:10:37.159 --> 01:10:41.159
Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare122801:10:41.279 --> 01:10:42.279
not speak.122901:10:44.319 --> 01:10:44.359
To.123001:10:44.479 --> 01:10:49.680
Might transcribe that the Whistler strains story seven that's to murders.123101:10:56.920 --> 01:11:00.439
The action Clayton affair was unusual for two reason.123201:11:01.119 --> 01:11:02.079
In the first place, of.123301:11:02.159 --> 01:11:06.479
Course, it involved a pair of famous newspaper men, Archer actors,123401:11:06.600 --> 01:11:10.079
the dean of New York drama critics and Everett Clayton123501:11:10.159 --> 01:11:11.359
that syndicated columns.123601:11:12.279 --> 01:11:15.079
But more than that, it was interesting in its fructure.123701:11:15.920 --> 01:11:17.279
Yeah, there were.123801:11:17.279 --> 01:11:22.239
Seven distinct steps between an apparently quarterial relationship and a murder.123901:11:24.520 --> 01:11:27.880
The opening night of Clayton's first play, The Whirlwind, was124001:11:28.000 --> 01:11:31.880
step number one. Atkins had attended, of course, with the124101:11:31.960 --> 01:11:35.119
rest of the critics, and shortly after the final curtain124201:11:35.600 --> 01:11:37.920
had walked across the street to the offices of the124301:11:38.000 --> 01:11:41.239
New York Globe with Murchison, his editor to meet the124401:11:41.359 --> 01:11:43.279
newspaper's deadline.124501:11:49.960 --> 01:11:54.640
School. Everett Clayton's new play The Whole Wind opened.124601:11:54.319 --> 01:11:57.439
Last night at the brighton Thetter, with Diana Brooks and124701:11:57.640 --> 01:11:58.840
Paul Strand.124801:11:58.600 --> 01:11:59.359
In the leading.124901:12:00.640 --> 01:12:04.399
Oh, I want to see what you did to Clayton's play.125001:12:05.000 --> 01:12:08.640
I thought it was great? Or did you? Here's what125101:12:08.840 --> 01:12:09.239
I thought.125201:12:11.720 --> 01:12:16.560
Ever at Clayton's new play, The Whirlwind is dullness itself125301:12:17.560 --> 01:12:22.039
is utterly lacking, you know, originality, imagination, or even ordinary playability.125401:12:22.760 --> 01:12:25.119
The death Battle was artible before the first.125501:12:25.000 --> 01:12:29.560
Actress five minutes or blessed acting Jaqua, Why God, you125601:12:29.640 --> 01:12:30.439
go up together?125701:12:30.720 --> 01:12:33.359
You came from Texas together. You even engaged to assist.125801:12:33.600 --> 01:12:34.479
He's your best friend.125901:12:34.760 --> 01:12:37.239
Art no friendship. You're a liar.126001:12:37.680 --> 01:12:41.359
You're jealous because Clayton's invading the drama, your sacred territory.126101:12:41.600 --> 01:12:45.439
That's true. You should fire me, too bad, I'm too influential.126201:12:45.600 --> 01:12:49.680
Huh No, One of these days you'll stick your neck126301:12:49.720 --> 01:12:51.600
out too far and I'll shop it off.126401:12:55.199 --> 01:12:58.720
Your review of Everett clayton play The Death Number two.126501:13:00.039 --> 01:13:02.319
The next day, you see Clayton in the coffee shop126601:13:02.359 --> 01:13:04.399
of the Stratford Club where both of you live.126701:13:05.479 --> 01:13:08.520
He walks over to your boot, his face tints and expression,126801:13:08.920 --> 01:13:12.920
the paper folded in his pocket. Will ever good to126901:13:13.199 --> 01:13:13.600
see you?127001:13:13.800 --> 01:13:14.359
Sit down?127101:13:18.720 --> 01:13:18.920
Yes?127201:13:19.319 --> 01:13:24.960
Coffee? Yes to no coffee for me? Milk, yes, your127301:13:25.039 --> 01:13:25.880
stomach again.127401:13:26.439 --> 01:13:30.920
You're getting worse, I'm afraid. But that's not why I came,127501:13:31.119 --> 01:13:36.039
Is it not you? I suppose not that review watcher.127601:13:36.960 --> 01:13:40.399
Nice of you. You're not the player, right every you127701:13:41.840 --> 01:13:43.880
you on least saw the play, every single of course,127801:13:44.600 --> 01:13:45.479
and office spends a.127901:13:45.560 --> 01:13:47.640
Year writing a player, and that's the consideration he gets128001:13:47.680 --> 01:13:50.319
any of your money and everything I've.128101:13:50.239 --> 01:13:53.560
Got all too bad? Why didn't you consult me before let.128201:13:53.520 --> 01:13:53.960
Me read it?128301:13:54.159 --> 01:13:57.840
Because only when I get sarcasm? Smart Quack's not one128401:13:57.920 --> 01:14:02.720
bit of constructive criticism. There is all item you forgot talent.128501:14:03.800 --> 01:14:06.279
No one has yet succeeded in drawing.128601:14:06.079 --> 01:14:08.840
Milk from an airlifts, nor kindness from a crick. If128701:14:08.880 --> 01:14:11.039
you wanted charity, you should have said so. Do you128801:14:11.079 --> 01:14:12.800
want me to go over a scene by scene and128901:14:12.880 --> 01:14:13.319
show you how?129001:14:13.439 --> 01:14:16.960
And it is because you couldn't. That's the trouble.129101:14:17.039 --> 01:14:19.359
You know. The people don't decide what's good or bad anymore.129201:14:19.399 --> 01:14:20.560
They wait for the critics to tell.129301:14:20.439 --> 01:14:23.119
Them thanks to you.129401:14:23.239 --> 01:14:25.760
I know my player is dead, Atkins, but I also129501:14:25.880 --> 01:14:28.359
know you're a fake. You Metiphony all your life. If129601:14:28.399 --> 01:14:31.319
the Rover Boys in Switzerland had Alan Pole's name on it,129701:14:31.399 --> 01:14:32.079
you'd call it great.129801:14:32.159 --> 01:14:34.479
So easy, old boy, you're getting carried away. I picked129901:14:34.520 --> 01:14:35.079
on the wrong guy.130001:14:35.239 --> 01:14:38.399
Arre I've got twenty million readers to before this thing's over.130101:14:38.520 --> 01:14:40.239
I'm going to make you look like the Billage idiot.130201:14:42.399 --> 01:14:47.399
Just do me a favorite ackings. Check my column tomorrow.130301:14:48.359 --> 01:15:11.640
It'll interest you. And now back through the Whistler.130401:15:19.000 --> 01:15:31.159
Yes, Archer, although you didn't know it at the time,130501:15:31.720 --> 01:15:34.079
the case that was soon to become famous as the130601:15:34.239 --> 01:15:39.600
Atkin Clayton affair fell neatly in the seventh parts seven steps.130701:15:39.640 --> 01:15:43.399
The murders Clayton's play, of course, was the first step,130801:15:43.960 --> 01:15:46.560
and the scathing review that appeared in the Globe the130901:15:46.640 --> 01:15:47.680
next day over.131001:15:47.560 --> 01:15:51.680
Your signature was the second. But when you arrive at131101:15:51.720 --> 01:15:52.760
your office the next.131201:15:52.720 --> 01:15:55.880
Day, merchant and the editor is sitting on your debt131301:15:56.039 --> 01:15:59.159
waiting for you, the afternoon edition of the Ledger in131401:15:59.279 --> 01:16:08.199
his hands, hellavergerful Greek Clake was confined did not lead paragraph. Listen,131501:16:09.920 --> 01:16:12.560
I am now reconciled that the fact that my play131601:16:12.680 --> 01:16:15.319
The Whirlwind will close in a matter of days as131701:16:15.359 --> 01:16:17.399
a result of the efforts of a group of critics131801:16:17.520 --> 01:16:21.359
headed by Archer Atkins. As a matter of fact, Atkins131901:16:21.399 --> 01:16:23.560
is not equipped to set himself up as a critic132001:16:23.880 --> 01:16:28.600
or even a writer. He has no conception of literature, dramatic, poetic,132101:16:28.760 --> 01:16:29.319
or otherwise.132201:16:29.840 --> 01:16:31.119
And I intend approving all.132301:16:31.039 --> 01:16:34.239
Amusing, but not very You started all of this, Atkins.132401:16:34.279 --> 01:16:36.359
I think you should allow ty Busy Marginson.132501:16:36.399 --> 01:16:40.359
I'm sure there a few obituaries that require your keen intelligence.132601:16:42.079 --> 01:16:46.000
Who Clayton gives you a socker majure.132701:16:51.479 --> 01:16:55.680
That depth number three arching the public challenge that went132801:16:55.720 --> 01:16:59.479
out to twenty million leaders. He decided it's ridiculous. The132901:16:59.560 --> 01:17:03.920
court forget about it. The play lasts five days.133001:17:03.760 --> 01:17:06.600
We close, then one evening.133101:17:06.720 --> 01:17:10.279
Some months later, Barbara Ross, the fashion editor on the Ledger,133201:17:10.760 --> 01:17:13.119
walk up to you in the lobby and taps you133301:17:13.239 --> 01:17:13.960
on the shoulders.133401:17:14.600 --> 01:17:15.680
A good darling.133501:17:17.880 --> 01:17:20.039
I find something I thought you want A glance that.133601:17:21.560 --> 01:17:23.960
Printed there nothing like that.133701:17:24.720 --> 01:17:26.439
Somebody hadn't made his book of poetry.133801:17:26.520 --> 01:17:29.920
Of course it was print it privately on a fifty copies.133901:17:31.800 --> 01:17:35.960
Fourteen by Jaafar Ahmad, what's the worst?134001:17:36.279 --> 01:17:39.520
I think it's lovely. It's written by an immigrant boy134101:17:39.680 --> 01:17:40.680
about his love.134201:17:40.600 --> 01:17:44.800
For a little girl who saying, oh, but our poetry, Darling,134301:17:44.920 --> 01:17:47.640
is as much a part of adolescence as the first shave,134401:17:48.359 --> 01:17:49.840
and just about is important.134501:17:49.960 --> 01:17:53.239
But it's really quite good. The boy seems to have134601:17:53.399 --> 01:17:57.159
an excellent sense of meter and a good deal of insight.134701:17:57.319 --> 01:18:00.119
Tool so you know so much.134801:18:00.279 --> 01:18:02.960
More about poetry than anyone else I know.134901:18:04.760 --> 01:18:05.199
All right.135001:18:05.279 --> 01:18:14.000
Ere, I look at it over through before the book135101:18:14.039 --> 01:18:17.399
of poetry. Nothing to it, of course, is there, Archer.135201:18:18.000 --> 01:18:20.079
But you take it home and toss it on the135301:18:20.199 --> 01:18:23.560
night stand, and just before you decide to turn out135401:18:23.640 --> 01:18:26.399
the lights, you pick it up and glance at.135501:18:26.319 --> 01:18:33.159
The first page holds you from the start.135601:18:33.960 --> 01:18:37.479
There's something about the poems of Punch, almost as if135701:18:37.560 --> 01:18:38.479
you'd readen.135801:18:38.279 --> 01:18:43.159
Before memory, things you'd forgotten completely spring.135901:18:42.960 --> 01:18:44.399
The light death.136001:18:45.279 --> 01:18:48.039
This boy has managed to capture something out of every136101:18:48.159 --> 01:18:52.479
man's youth, something that gets under your scheme and stays there.136201:18:53.479 --> 01:18:55.600
To finish the book, get out of.136301:18:55.600 --> 01:18:57.640
Bed hurriedly and sit down at your typewriter.136401:18:58.319 --> 01:19:00.600
You can't wait until tomorrow when you watch it.136501:19:01.319 --> 01:19:03.680
You've got to get it on paper now.136601:19:10.720 --> 01:19:12.000
Although the poems are.136701:19:12.039 --> 01:19:16.039
Immature, there's something great and universal about this work. The136801:19:16.159 --> 01:19:19.159
value has been printed privately, but in my opinion, it136901:19:19.239 --> 01:19:22.039
would be a wise investment for any publisher to issue137001:19:22.079 --> 01:19:27.159
it in quantity. Fourteen by Java Armored should never be forgotten.137101:19:28.920 --> 01:19:32.399
I ought to do it be on the bestseller list137201:19:32.479 --> 01:19:33.039
in a month.137301:19:44.039 --> 01:19:46.760
In the morning, you hand your article to a copyboy,137401:19:47.079 --> 01:19:48.720
unaware of course, that you've.137501:19:48.640 --> 01:19:51.560
Just completed Get Numbers five.137601:19:52.600 --> 01:19:55.119
Although you don't know it, the minute you turn in137701:19:55.239 --> 01:19:58.239
that with you, you will nearer to murder than you've137801:19:58.279 --> 01:20:09.239
ever been in your life. Uh it's jug twenty four137901:20:09.319 --> 01:20:12.000
hours later, when the same boy walked into your office138001:20:12.520 --> 01:20:15.680
places the newspaper on your death death number.138101:20:16.359 --> 01:20:23.479
Think people covering the lat around time here here.138201:20:24.760 --> 01:20:28.119
Three months ago, I promised to reveal Archer Atkins, the138301:20:28.199 --> 01:20:31.039
so called dean of literary critics, as a pony.138401:20:31.760 --> 01:20:34.479
Today I call attention to the raves he's been giving138501:20:34.520 --> 01:20:34.840
the book.138601:20:34.880 --> 01:20:39.479
A poem called fourteen, supposedly written by a fourteen year138701:20:39.520 --> 01:20:46.399
old Iranian lab affective gentle reader. I of fourteen, what138801:20:46.600 --> 01:20:47.760
a shocking.138901:20:47.680 --> 01:20:50.319
I did own home? I just I didn't sit That's139001:20:50.359 --> 01:20:51.720
all right. You needn't hide that.139101:20:52.640 --> 01:20:55.640
Some of our best people read over Clayton, including the139201:20:55.680 --> 01:20:59.439
publishers of this past clash stop track analyzed two hours139301:20:59.520 --> 01:21:02.600
later fourteen you haven't got enough sense. Seems to know139401:21:02.640 --> 01:21:04.560
a lot about it, Archer read on.139501:21:05.319 --> 01:21:07.600
He tells just how he did it. You have no139601:21:07.720 --> 01:21:08.840
knowledge of poetry, he.139701:21:08.960 --> 01:21:12.279
Says, just threw together the luscious and most senseless adjectives139801:21:12.319 --> 01:21:15.000
he could concoct, and the whole mess printed up on139901:21:15.039 --> 01:21:20.199
the quiet. You, the great Archer Atkins, praised it.140001:21:20.239 --> 01:21:20.680
To the sky.140101:21:21.119 --> 01:21:22.880
Why are you trying to tell me that you believe140201:21:22.960 --> 01:21:26.079
this not much? What a man, a man who got readers, Archer,140301:21:26.239 --> 01:21:27.119
twenty million of them.140401:21:27.199 --> 01:21:27.960
So calm down.140501:21:28.399 --> 01:21:29.560
Don't tell me to calm down.140601:21:29.600 --> 01:21:31.760
The matter of fact, why don't you get out of here?140701:21:32.119 --> 01:21:34.920
Took me at a pipri logis placing his place, not140801:21:35.039 --> 01:21:37.039
at a globe you award, and why not?140901:21:37.960 --> 01:21:41.000
I talked to the publishers. I want your resignation for141001:21:41.039 --> 01:21:41.640
the end of the month.141101:21:42.720 --> 01:21:45.279
Now I'm editing your material, and I don't tend to141201:21:45.319 --> 01:21:46.239
have any libel.141301:21:46.000 --> 01:21:46.920
Suits on my hands.141401:21:47.760 --> 01:21:50.199
Not able to save the great name of Archer Atkins.141501:21:51.479 --> 01:21:57.600
Good day for once, sever the last word.141601:21:59.159 --> 01:22:07.079
Where Archier return you never expected. And it's even worse141701:22:07.159 --> 01:22:09.439
when you reach the steps of trove and learn that141801:22:09.560 --> 01:22:11.399
you've suddenly been turned into.141901:22:11.239 --> 01:22:12.399
A laughing stock.142001:22:13.520 --> 01:22:15.039
Watch, old boy, how could you?142101:22:15.520 --> 01:22:16.000
What was it?142201:22:16.119 --> 01:22:16.239
Now?142301:22:17.520 --> 01:22:21.439
I still feel the music, the poignant expression of an142401:22:21.479 --> 01:22:29.079
adulgent lull, sweetly organizing emotions, part of every man, Dude,142501:22:29.800 --> 01:22:30.600
I want a lot of.142601:22:30.760 --> 01:22:33.560
Falling of pain on your skull by hand.142701:22:33.880 --> 01:22:37.000
Helem and gentlemen, you hear the great actions is no142801:22:37.199 --> 01:22:40.359
longer capable of using, is cutting down you must now142901:22:40.520 --> 01:22:41.000
it's all.143001:22:41.000 --> 01:22:42.000
To a kain.143101:22:48.640 --> 01:22:51.000
And this thing is got to hasn't a goot you?143201:22:51.399 --> 01:22:56.039
And it hurts the twisting inside you, until finally the143301:22:56.199 --> 01:22:57.840
seventh step begins.143401:22:57.560 --> 01:22:58.319
To take shape.143501:22:59.199 --> 01:23:11.359
The seventh and final steps murder. The frightening thought, isn't it, Archer?143601:23:11.680 --> 01:23:15.520
Frightening but very clear? It's all there in your mind143701:23:15.600 --> 01:23:18.399
as you ride up to your luxurious suite in the elevator.143801:23:19.359 --> 01:23:21.680
Emerys Clayton is a man of habit.143901:23:22.199 --> 01:23:24.199
One of them forced upon him by his health.144001:23:25.279 --> 01:23:26.680
You know all about that, Archer.144101:23:27.159 --> 01:23:30.760
How each evening it's seventh a waiter brings a large144201:23:30.880 --> 01:23:34.840
glass of milk into his apartment you smile as you144301:23:34.960 --> 01:23:39.279
let yourself into your rooms across the hall tonight that144401:23:39.560 --> 01:23:42.199
same waiter must bring you something as well.144501:23:42.760 --> 01:23:47.159
Hell our coffee shop, as mister askid, I wonder if144601:23:47.159 --> 01:23:48.079
you'd send me up something.144701:23:48.279 --> 01:23:53.479
Uh no, I don't know, something light as chicken, sandwich, PABs.144801:23:54.399 --> 01:23:58.239
Oh no, no, hurry, well said, you have a waiter144901:23:58.319 --> 01:23:59.800
coming to mister Clayton's rooms.145001:24:00.119 --> 01:24:00.439
Seven.145101:24:01.319 --> 01:24:06.279
It's time enough. Surely don't make a special tread thank you?145201:24:18.920 --> 01:24:19.119
Wait?145301:24:19.279 --> 01:24:23.039
Are yes you have a sandwich and coffee for me?145401:24:23.640 --> 01:24:27.239
Or yes? But I was going to start first at145501:24:27.279 --> 01:24:27.880
mister Clayton.145601:24:27.960 --> 01:24:29.560
Bears were coming in a moment, and I set it145701:24:29.600 --> 01:24:31.600
down there on the desk. Would and I wonder if145801:24:31.600 --> 01:24:32.560
you do something for me.145901:24:32.680 --> 01:24:35.319
I'll try to unlock a suitcase a moment ago, but146001:24:35.319 --> 01:24:36.920
I could see the term the key.146101:24:37.079 --> 01:24:40.079
Would you have a look at it? Right? Certainly? So146201:24:40.159 --> 01:24:43.000
it raise it INDI bedroom? Of course, it's too much,146301:24:43.359 --> 01:24:45.520
not at all. So I have handled a lot of things.146401:24:49.720 --> 01:24:52.520
You hesitated. The waiter starts to cross to the bedroom.146501:24:52.920 --> 01:24:55.319
Then you turn quickly to the tray he sat down.146601:24:55.199 --> 01:24:57.600
On your desk before he comes back to you.146701:24:57.720 --> 01:25:00.680
Into the contents of a small envelope into the milk146801:25:00.760 --> 01:25:01.760
intended for Clayton.146901:25:02.159 --> 01:25:05.359
You stir it hastily and then return to your book.147001:25:06.680 --> 01:25:10.199
Well, I got it open for you, so that lock147101:25:10.319 --> 01:25:11.680
is sprung a little bit though.147201:25:11.800 --> 01:25:14.079
Oh well, I'll have to have an attended to. Here147301:25:14.119 --> 01:25:16.960
you go. Thanks for your trouble not adult, sir, Thank147401:25:17.000 --> 01:25:24.039
you very much. Thank you. You settle back in your chair,147501:25:24.159 --> 01:25:26.479
now giving you a way of time to deliver the147601:25:26.560 --> 01:25:27.800
glass of milk to Clayton.147701:25:28.479 --> 01:25:30.600
A few minutes later, you sit down into.147801:25:30.439 --> 01:25:33.960
The corridor and down the hall, stop outside of Clayton's147901:25:34.039 --> 01:25:34.760
door and listen.148001:25:35.520 --> 01:25:38.520
He's talking to someone on the telephone. Yes, yes, I148101:25:38.640 --> 01:25:39.319
got your lener.148201:25:40.520 --> 01:25:41.640
Well, what did you expect me to do?148301:25:44.039 --> 01:25:44.199
Right?148401:25:44.439 --> 01:25:49.720
All right? I tell you about a first of law. Yes, yes,148501:25:49.920 --> 01:25:51.479
I promised. Goodbye.148601:25:54.720 --> 01:25:57.960
You wait tensely after Clayton hangs up, hoping no one148701:25:58.039 --> 01:25:58.520
will come.148801:25:58.439 --> 01:26:03.720
Along the hall, and by his den a moment dragged by.148901:26:05.399 --> 01:26:06.119
What are you doing?149001:26:07.920 --> 01:26:10.119
He ever going to pick up that glass?149101:26:11.039 --> 01:26:11.600
And then.149201:26:23.000 --> 01:26:24.279
A moment later you whip the.149301:26:24.319 --> 01:26:27.039
Door open, step inside and lock it. A glance at149401:26:27.079 --> 01:26:29.960
Clayton's bodies fall on the floor assures you that he's dead.149501:26:30.640 --> 01:26:33.359
Quickly you cross the room and sit down at.149601:26:33.319 --> 01:26:42.760
His spattered portable typewriter. To my dear mother, comer, my sister, Comma,149701:26:43.680 --> 01:26:50.159
and jingle herendos cooling. It isn't often that a man149801:26:51.239 --> 01:27:01.760
gets the opportunity to write his own obituary. Here leave me, Tammas.149901:27:02.800 --> 01:27:12.119
This isn't easy, Tammas, that I neal or something. You150001:27:12.279 --> 01:27:15.720
type rapidly, Archer, because you know exactly what you want.150101:27:15.840 --> 01:27:20.520
Clayton's suicide note to say it includes, above all else150201:27:20.600 --> 01:27:21.880
the confession.150301:27:21.920 --> 01:27:24.359
One in which the dead Everett Clayton.150401:27:24.399 --> 01:27:27.479
Will admit to the world that he perpetrated a deliberate150501:27:27.560 --> 01:27:28.399
hoax against you.150601:27:29.439 --> 01:27:32.680
His note tells how he lied and claiming to have written.150701:27:32.399 --> 01:27:37.159
The verses in the book fourteen, how actually he simply150801:27:37.279 --> 01:27:40.399
dug up a number of anonymous ballads and revised them150901:27:40.439 --> 01:27:40.680
a bit.151001:27:41.760 --> 01:27:44.399
You put it all down art you your way.151101:27:44.760 --> 01:27:48.840
But if Everett Clayton style, and then you add his151201:27:49.000 --> 01:27:53.399
well known signature, just the too simple type written letters151301:27:54.119 --> 01:27:55.359
E C.151401:27:58.039 --> 01:27:59.159
Thanks my dear Everett.151501:28:00.159 --> 01:28:04.600
We'll see tomorrow how your twenty million readers like.151601:28:04.800 --> 01:28:29.960
This water go back to the whistler.151701:28:34.840 --> 01:28:39.039
Well the seven steps of past now Watchers, every Clayton151801:28:39.159 --> 01:28:42.960
is dead. But more important than that, the suicide note151901:28:43.000 --> 01:28:45.560
in his pipewriter will put you back at the top152001:28:45.640 --> 01:28:48.680
of the heat, Murchison.152101:28:48.720 --> 01:28:49.479
You'll publish a.152201:28:49.600 --> 01:28:53.119
Handley and the whole literary world will have to admit152301:28:53.640 --> 01:28:56.520
who has the right to wear the critics crowned.152401:28:57.840 --> 01:29:00.680
You don't seem at all surprised at he's calling on you,152501:29:00.760 --> 01:29:03.319
mister erecting, Oh my dear Captain Foss.152601:29:03.720 --> 01:29:05.880
But the moment the manager of this club informed me152701:29:05.920 --> 01:29:09.119
of Clayton's demise, I resigned myself to a round of152801:29:09.560 --> 01:29:13.600
dull question. Naturally, you've known him all his life, grew152901:29:13.680 --> 01:29:14.920
up with him, sweed.153001:29:14.680 --> 01:29:16.800
On his sister at one child. She want to know153101:29:16.920 --> 01:29:19.920
I was an incubator. Baby weighed three pounds two of month.153201:29:20.000 --> 01:29:23.359
Her answers, I'm surprised you are more interested in the153301:29:23.439 --> 01:29:24.680
way Clayton dies.153401:29:25.920 --> 01:29:29.399
I like to believe people, Captain. When I'm told someone153501:29:29.600 --> 01:29:31.560
is dead, I assume he's dead.153601:29:32.199 --> 01:29:34.359
Whether he was shot through the head with a cannon,153701:29:34.520 --> 01:29:37.239
threw himself into mouth vesuviosos club to death with the153801:29:37.279 --> 01:29:41.159
missing armor of Vinosimilo doesn't concern me in the least.153901:29:41.399 --> 01:29:43.760
Poison. It's more to your liking isn't it.154001:29:45.319 --> 01:29:46.760
I don't know what you're trying to imply.154101:29:47.000 --> 01:29:47.760
Let's make it clear.154201:29:47.840 --> 01:29:50.039
Then, how long did it take you to write that154301:29:50.199 --> 01:29:54.399
note note the suicide note in Clayton's typewriter?154401:29:54.520 --> 01:29:55.359
Who do tell him?154501:29:55.520 --> 01:29:59.039
Verse It says Clayton never wrote those poems, that he154601:29:59.159 --> 01:30:01.319
stole them from mononymous ballad.154701:30:02.039 --> 01:30:04.760
Well, I insisted on that all the time.154801:30:04.800 --> 01:30:07.520
We'd like get hold of that, And you wrote that note, Atkins,154901:30:08.159 --> 01:30:11.159
You poisoned Clayton and ran the note off on his typewriter.155001:30:11.800 --> 01:30:14.840
Nonsense? Who gave you that story? Some idiots from the Ledger.155101:30:15.039 --> 01:30:19.279
Take a look at these papers, Atkins, ever seen them before?155201:30:20.920 --> 01:30:23.560
The Yellows was very old? After their poems.155301:30:23.680 --> 01:30:26.640
You wrote to Everett Clayton's sister when you were fourteen,155401:30:26.720 --> 01:30:30.119
over forty years ago. Far That book of poetry you155501:30:30.239 --> 01:30:33.880
reviewed was not written by Jaffar Ahmed or Everett Clayton,155601:30:33.960 --> 01:30:34.600
but by Archer.155701:30:34.720 --> 01:30:39.560
Atkins reviewed my own poetry. So it wasn't suicide.155801:30:39.640 --> 01:30:42.000
You think he still did it?155901:30:42.199 --> 01:30:46.760
It was a milicious It wasn't my suicide, Atkins, because156001:30:46.840 --> 01:30:49.279
Clayton's sister blew up when she read what he did156101:30:49.359 --> 01:30:50.079
with those poems.156201:30:50.119 --> 01:30:52.560
After she sent them to him. She phoned him last night.156301:30:54.760 --> 01:30:55.960
He was talking to her sister.156401:30:56.479 --> 01:31:00.399
She made him promise the public retraction, Clayton, and we're156501:31:00.479 --> 01:31:11.039
going to see you about it in the morning. Join156601:31:11.119 --> 01:31:14.520
us again next week, and once again the United States156701:31:14.600 --> 01:31:17.640
Air Forces in Europe presents a whistler.156801:31:28.560 --> 01:31:36.479
There's this air force like Don Cormi speaking, My my.156901:31:37.199 --> 01:31:41.000
It is getting late, isn't it. Well, time does fly157001:31:41.319 --> 01:31:48.680
when you're having fun. Well, I suppose there's just time157101:31:48.800 --> 01:31:51.840
for one more, because I know while you've been so157201:31:52.119 --> 01:31:57.960
generous as to spend your time with me through these times, well,157301:31:59.319 --> 01:32:02.720
I also know that sooner or later you need to157401:32:02.800 --> 01:32:07.520
return to your your normal life. And I don't begrudge157501:32:07.560 --> 01:32:11.840
you a bit. I understand that that's who you are.157601:32:13.720 --> 01:32:17.319
I think we could all, in this time of giving thanks,157701:32:18.279 --> 01:32:22.000
use a little bird songs for murder.157801:32:34.359 --> 01:32:38.239
Good evening, friends of the creaking door, this is your157901:32:38.319 --> 01:32:41.239
host to welcome you into the inner sanctum once again.158001:32:42.159 --> 01:32:45.239
Come in. Our little place may not be a mansion,158101:32:45.319 --> 01:32:48.239
but it has its advantages. But one thing, it's thoroughly158201:32:48.960 --> 01:32:50.000
scare condition.158301:32:51.079 --> 01:32:54.439
The scream pipes are always in good working order, and158401:32:54.560 --> 01:32:55.920
the rent's quite reasonable.158501:32:56.159 --> 01:33:13.479
We get a cut raise hall. Well, you've had your warning.158601:33:14.479 --> 01:33:19.000
Whatever happens from now on you asked for, just be158701:33:19.159 --> 01:33:25.479
sure the family is provided for. And now to our158801:33:25.560 --> 01:33:29.439
happy little anecdote for tonight, the birds song.158901:33:30.359 --> 01:33:31.159
For a murderer.159001:33:35.279 --> 01:33:39.560
My name is Carl Warner. I'm not a young man159101:33:39.640 --> 01:33:42.880
any longer, but I don't mind that. I wasn't very159201:33:42.960 --> 01:33:48.680
happy when I was young. Now well, at least I'm159301:33:48.760 --> 01:33:53.079
not unhappy. And late at night, after Elane has gone159401:33:53.159 --> 01:33:57.119
upstairs to bed, but she's my wife, and she's very159501:33:57.239 --> 01:34:00.479
pretty and younger than I am. Perhaps I made mistake159601:34:00.560 --> 01:34:06.640
in marrying her. But well, anyway, late at nights I159701:34:06.800 --> 01:34:09.439
go into the room when I keep the birds, and159801:34:09.640 --> 01:34:14.760
then listening to them sing, I get as close to159901:34:14.920 --> 01:34:16.880
happiness as I can expect.160001:34:19.159 --> 01:34:21.720
I stay an hour and then I cover their.160101:34:21.760 --> 01:34:28.159
Cages, and then they know it's time to sleep, and160201:34:28.359 --> 01:34:35.359
they sleep even on the stormiest of nights. And this160301:34:36.159 --> 01:34:43.439
was a stormy night. Someone knocked at the front door.160401:34:43.800 --> 01:34:45.960
It was late. We know very few people.160501:34:46.079 --> 01:34:48.560
We kept to ourselves, mostly a lane and I so160601:34:51.039 --> 01:34:53.359
I was worried a little when I opened the door.160701:34:55.439 --> 01:34:59.439
Yes, mind, if I come in, mister Warner, it's kind160801:34:59.479 --> 01:35:05.319
of damn. Wow, No, of course not. You seem to160901:35:05.439 --> 01:35:05.720
know me.161001:35:06.760 --> 01:35:07.680
I do, don't.161101:35:07.760 --> 01:35:09.000
I I don't know you.161201:35:10.039 --> 01:35:15.640
My name is Brutle, Chester, Brutle, just a Bruele. I161301:35:15.800 --> 01:35:19.640
still don't remember. Hey, it doesn't matter.161401:35:22.039 --> 01:35:23.960
What what did you want?161501:35:24.800 --> 01:35:25.439
Nice place?161601:35:25.560 --> 01:35:30.520
You got here, much nicer than crag Mount. Crag Mount,161701:35:31.479 --> 01:35:36.760
rag Mount Asylum for the insane. You you worked there,161801:35:37.840 --> 01:35:42.079
used to work there. This is all very interesting. And161901:35:42.239 --> 01:35:45.640
this thing happened just before I left. One of the162001:35:45.760 --> 01:35:50.439
inmates escaped. This baby was a homicidal maniac.162101:35:52.079 --> 01:35:52.920
Homicidal.162201:35:53.439 --> 01:35:54.439
Yeah, that's right.162301:35:55.199 --> 01:35:57.159
I don't see what all this has to do with me.162401:35:57.520 --> 01:35:58.760
I didn't say it had.162501:36:00.079 --> 01:36:03.159
There was one funny thing about this in me uh162601:36:03.359 --> 01:36:05.279
uh loved canaries.162701:36:05.920 --> 01:36:07.399
Love to listen to him sing.162801:36:08.520 --> 01:36:13.439
Psychiatrists at crag Mount found it very interesting. Birds song162901:36:13.760 --> 01:36:17.079
was the only thing that kept the murderer's impulses down.163001:36:17.239 --> 01:36:22.119
Hi, I mister Warner, I'm out of work. It's too163101:36:22.199 --> 01:36:26.880
bad you're not doing badly. Nice house furnishings.163201:36:27.640 --> 01:36:32.039
Didn't I hear canaries singing before I come into the house?163301:36:32.239 --> 01:36:34.079
Maybe maybe you did so.163401:36:36.039 --> 01:36:43.640
Five thousand in the morning, No, I think yes. Otherwise,163501:36:44.000 --> 01:36:48.680
crag Mount will be happy to hear from me. Eleven163601:36:48.920 --> 01:36:54.960
Crescent Place, room to B in the morning. You can163701:36:55.079 --> 01:37:00.359
show me to the door now, of course, good night,163801:37:00.560 --> 01:37:03.239
mister Warner, until we meet again.163901:37:06.960 --> 01:37:09.880
I watched him go out into the blackness, and the164001:37:10.000 --> 01:37:11.880
blackness swallow him.164101:37:14.199 --> 01:37:15.560
The birds were quiet.164201:37:16.680 --> 01:37:18.880
I thought for a moment of taking the covers off164301:37:18.920 --> 01:37:20.760
the cages, of letting the birds sing.164401:37:20.920 --> 01:37:21.359
And then.164501:37:22.800 --> 01:37:26.600
Then I thought that tonight it might be better if164601:37:26.680 --> 01:37:30.279
I didn't let the birds sing.164701:37:33.840 --> 01:37:47.960
Yeah, okay, okay, Oh, I couldn't wait till morning.164801:37:48.119 --> 01:37:54.239
Eh, I didn't expect it. Wait, wait that night, No, no,164901:37:57.560 --> 01:37:58.840
I shouldn't have laid it.165001:38:02.079 --> 01:38:13.159
Surprise, A.165101:38:15.159 --> 01:38:18.199
Bit of bad night. I couldn't have slept more than165201:38:18.239 --> 01:38:19.159
two or three hours.165301:38:20.239 --> 01:38:24.279
Fortunately Elena and I had separate rooms, and at breakfast165401:38:24.359 --> 01:38:25.560
the next morning.165501:38:26.960 --> 01:38:31.560
She was fresh and young and beautiful.165601:38:32.680 --> 01:38:36.079
Carl, why are you staring at me in that funny way?165701:38:36.880 --> 01:38:41.079
You really shouldn't read at meals with only the paper, so.165801:38:41.159 --> 01:38:43.399
Many exciting things happen. I can't wait till I get165901:38:43.439 --> 01:38:46.560
to them. Still, Oh, isn't that terrible?166001:38:47.279 --> 01:38:47.600
What is?166101:38:48.239 --> 01:38:51.039
A man was murdered last night not very far from166201:38:51.079 --> 01:38:53.199
here Crescent Place.166301:38:53.880 --> 01:38:56.520
Such an odd name ches a brow.166401:38:56.600 --> 01:38:58.079
Of your coffee.166501:38:58.159 --> 01:38:58.279
Car.166601:38:58.640 --> 01:39:01.560
Sorry, I I wish you wouldn't read the paper.166701:39:01.760 --> 01:39:05.399
It says it's canary. He had a canary car was166801:39:05.479 --> 01:39:07.319
singing when the landlady found the body.166901:39:07.680 --> 01:39:10.520
Oh that's Elene. I told you not to read that paper.167001:39:10.960 --> 01:39:11.479
Give it to me.167101:39:13.199 --> 01:39:14.239
You're taking the paper up.167201:39:14.279 --> 01:39:14.840
What's the next?167301:39:15.640 --> 01:39:17.000
I'm nervous this morning.167401:39:17.159 --> 01:39:19.520
Don't remember your ever having been like this before.167501:39:19.600 --> 01:39:22.119
I told you I was nervous, Darling.167601:39:22.720 --> 01:39:23.840
Why don't you go into the.167701:39:23.880 --> 01:39:27.600
Aviary listen to the birds for a while. You love167801:39:27.680 --> 01:39:30.840
them so and they have such a nice.167901:39:30.600 --> 01:39:31.319
Effect on you.168001:39:36.159 --> 01:39:40.039
I went into the aviary, she suggested, and I listened168101:39:40.119 --> 01:39:40.800
to the birds.168201:39:42.399 --> 01:39:49.399
It was quite a little while before eyes stopped trembling. Carl, Yes,168301:39:49.560 --> 01:39:55.079
dear the kitchen all right, I've been washing the breakfast.168401:39:55.159 --> 01:39:58.359
This is, darling, and found this a mooney. God, this168501:39:58.520 --> 01:40:02.319
isn't that funny. Besides, look at it, the blades all168601:40:02.399 --> 01:40:06.079
covered with brown. Still I see sure I've washed it168701:40:06.199 --> 01:40:09.399
after dinner last night. Did you use it for anything?168801:40:10.960 --> 01:40:14.600
No, Darling, and give it to me and I'll wash168901:40:14.640 --> 01:40:14.960
it now.169001:40:15.039 --> 01:40:18.560
Oh I should do it, I just wondered. Oh the door,169101:40:18.920 --> 01:40:19.560
will you know?169201:40:19.720 --> 01:40:22.600
You give me the knife, and you answered the door.169301:40:24.039 --> 01:40:25.720
I said, you answer the door.169401:40:26.159 --> 01:40:28.239
Right, there's nothing to shout about.169501:40:28.880 --> 01:40:30.159
I don't know what's the matter with you.169601:40:30.319 --> 01:40:36.720
This morning, I washed the knife quickly but carefully, Very169701:40:36.840 --> 01:40:42.880
quickly but very carefully. Didn't take long. He the stains169801:40:43.000 --> 01:40:50.840
hadn't hardened much. Thee the brown stay car. Yes, sum169901:40:50.880 --> 01:40:53.039
one to see you. What does he want?170001:40:53.319 --> 01:40:55.279
He didn't say, except that it was important.170101:40:55.319 --> 01:40:56.199
I'll go see him.170201:40:56.439 --> 01:40:56.760
He said.170301:40:56.800 --> 01:41:00.760
He's a lieutenant, a Lieutenant Gregg from the police.170401:41:02.640 --> 01:41:06.640
There are seventeen steps between the kitchen and our living room.170501:41:06.720 --> 01:41:10.479
I know because I counted them while I was walking170601:41:10.680 --> 01:41:19.479
to see Lieutenant Greg of the police. Seventeen steps to170701:41:19.600 --> 01:41:25.399
make my face polite, relaxed, smiling, What would I be170801:41:25.520 --> 01:41:27.760
able to hide the trembling of my hands?170901:41:29.119 --> 01:41:33.119
Your Lieutenant Greg? My wife said, you wanted to see me. Yes,171001:41:33.199 --> 01:41:39.359
that's right, mister Warner. Did you know a man named Chesterbru? Chesterbru? Why?171101:41:40.399 --> 01:41:43.000
I can't say offhand. I've got such a bad memory171201:41:43.039 --> 01:41:45.239
for names. I may I may not.171301:41:46.319 --> 01:41:51.119
Why he's murdered last night. You see, we found your171401:41:51.239 --> 01:41:55.119
name and address in Brule's address book. I see, we171501:41:55.239 --> 01:41:57.119
thought you might be able to help us. The fact171601:41:57.159 --> 01:41:59.439
that my name is in it a dress book doesn't.171701:41:59.199 --> 01:42:01.039
Do anything, well, of course not.171801:42:02.000 --> 01:42:04.800
Uh would the fact that Brule used to be an171901:42:04.840 --> 01:42:07.600
attendant in an insane asylum mean anything to you?172001:42:07.800 --> 01:42:09.119
Why should it mean anything to me?172101:42:09.399 --> 01:42:09.560
Well?172201:42:09.640 --> 01:42:12.319
I didn't say it should, mister Warner. I just thought, well,172301:42:12.399 --> 01:42:15.159
it doesn't. I guess that's that.172401:42:16.079 --> 01:42:16.199
You know.172501:42:16.439 --> 01:42:16.960
Funny thing?172601:42:17.439 --> 01:42:19.840
There was a bird cage in Brule's room with a172701:42:19.880 --> 01:42:22.000
canary in it, singing its head off.172801:42:22.279 --> 01:42:25.479
Huh, Well, lots of people are fond of canaries.172901:42:25.600 --> 01:42:26.479
Sure, sure.173001:42:27.199 --> 01:42:31.039
What was funny about it is that Brule's landlady swears Brule.173101:42:30.840 --> 01:42:34.880
Never had a bird. That is funny.173201:42:35.319 --> 01:42:38.319
Why it looks the killer knife Bruel and then left173301:42:38.399 --> 01:42:41.239
the cage and the bird in it behind him doesn't173401:42:41.279 --> 01:42:44.439
make any sense unless you figure that the guy who173501:42:44.600 --> 01:42:46.239
killed Bruel was insane.173601:42:48.960 --> 01:42:51.479
The birds had been quiet, but the slam of the173701:42:51.560 --> 01:42:54.439
door maybe started them off.173801:42:56.039 --> 01:42:59.960
And I knew that somehow I would have to get173901:43:00.279 --> 01:43:04.520
the cage and the bird in it out of bull room.174001:43:04.960 --> 01:43:08.680
I didn't know how I'd do it, but I'd do it,174101:43:10.439 --> 01:43:13.880
no matter how winds sailing it was.174201:43:23.119 --> 01:43:23.760
It was dark.174301:43:23.880 --> 01:43:28.800
When I got to Crescent Place, dark on a lonely street.174401:43:29.960 --> 01:43:32.279
There was no one in front of the house, nothing174501:43:32.399 --> 01:43:36.079
to show that a man had died inside the night before.174601:43:37.359 --> 01:43:42.000
With a knife in his throat. The door was open.174701:43:44.000 --> 01:43:48.039
There was a dim light in the vestibule leading the174801:43:48.159 --> 01:43:50.920
stairs beyond in darkness.174901:43:52.640 --> 01:43:53.640
I went up them.175001:43:55.279 --> 01:43:59.960
To the second floor. There's no one in the corriege.175101:44:01.800 --> 01:44:08.479
The door of two be opened and I went in.175201:44:11.000 --> 01:44:11.840
There was no light.175301:44:13.560 --> 01:44:18.000
The moon cast a pale glimmer over the room, and175401:44:20.520 --> 01:44:27.119
someone in a chair near the window. For a moment175501:44:27.199 --> 01:44:28.560
I thought it was brawl.175601:44:28.319 --> 01:44:28.399
But.175701:44:30.640 --> 01:44:36.439
There was no blood, and then I realized it was175801:44:36.520 --> 01:44:39.640
a policeman in the uniform asleep.175901:44:41.359 --> 01:44:45.560
The cage was near the sleeping man. Would his sleep176001:44:45.760 --> 01:44:52.920
be sound enough? I reached out, lifted the.176101:44:53.039 --> 01:44:59.560
Cage, reached the door, and closed it.176201:45:02.880 --> 01:45:05.399
I was safe.176301:45:09.840 --> 01:45:14.039
Yes, I'm glad that Lieutenant Greg is here.176401:45:14.039 --> 01:45:17.640
At Greg, why did you take him to the bird room?176501:45:19.560 --> 01:45:25.359
All right, was Lieutenant Greg?176601:45:26.000 --> 01:45:26.520
How long? Mister?176701:45:26.600 --> 01:45:29.760
Why the collection of canaries you've got here?176801:45:29.840 --> 01:45:30.479
Yes? I have?176901:45:31.600 --> 01:45:32.920
Were you home all last night?177001:45:32.960 --> 01:45:36.600
Of course, this is still about chester Bull's murder.177101:45:37.119 --> 01:45:40.920
M hm, say remember my mentioning I thought that the177201:45:41.000 --> 01:45:44.000
man who'd killed Brule and left the bird cage behind177301:45:44.079 --> 01:45:45.079
him must be insane.177401:45:45.199 --> 01:45:47.760
Well you you did say something of the sort.177501:45:48.079 --> 01:45:50.840
Yeah, yeah, And then there's the fact that Brule used177601:45:50.840 --> 01:45:52.920
to work with insane people.177701:45:53.720 --> 01:45:56.920
Begins to measure. I know very little about police work.177801:45:57.159 --> 01:45:59.600
Hope, I'm not boring you anyway. It occurs to me177901:46:00.279 --> 01:46:01.520
I better take a trip up.178001:46:01.479 --> 01:46:05.560
To cragmart I suppose going to asylum, so any police else.178101:46:05.640 --> 01:46:06.800
It's just part of your joba.178201:46:06.920 --> 01:46:13.560
Oh sure, Uh did I mention Crag Mount was an asylum?178301:46:15.039 --> 01:46:17.199
You you must have.178401:46:17.680 --> 01:46:17.880
Yeah.178501:46:18.199 --> 01:46:20.279
Yeah, Well I'll run up there and I wouldn't be178601:46:20.319 --> 01:46:22.079
surprised if I get all the answers.178701:46:22.439 --> 01:46:26.279
What do you think I think I'm going to?178801:46:30.039 --> 01:46:30.479
What is it?178901:46:30.600 --> 01:46:31.039
Elene?179001:46:31.600 --> 01:46:32.840
Well, it's so late.179101:46:33.319 --> 01:46:36.840
Oh, I can take a hint, missus Warner. Don't bother179201:46:36.960 --> 01:46:37.880
showing me to the door.179301:46:38.920 --> 01:46:40.560
It seems like a very nice man.179401:46:43.239 --> 01:46:44.640
What that's.179501:46:46.520 --> 01:46:48.680
I didn't know you so well, I'd i'd say you179601:46:48.800 --> 01:46:50.119
were going mad.179701:46:58.640 --> 01:47:04.199
Go to bed, Elaine, all right, darling. Oh call, look179801:47:04.720 --> 01:47:08.039
look at what with the window the garden. Lieutenant Gregg179901:47:08.079 --> 01:47:09.600
didn't go away down there?180001:47:09.640 --> 01:47:11.520
Get away from that window. Go to bed.180101:47:13.680 --> 01:47:16.479
But he looks as if he's waiting down there for something.180201:47:18.119 --> 01:47:22.640
For what Carl, I knew what he was waiting for.180301:47:24.520 --> 01:47:26.920
I knew I mustn't go to sleep.180401:47:28.359 --> 01:47:35.720
Things happen when you sleep, terrible things. But I hadn't180501:47:35.760 --> 01:47:42.560
slept well the night before, not well at all, and180601:47:42.640 --> 01:47:44.479
there had been the strain of the day.180701:47:46.119 --> 01:47:50.920
And it was night now. Ah still.180801:47:53.199 --> 01:47:55.119
Dur still.180901:47:57.399 --> 01:48:14.279
A bargain, gargain be out o.181001:48:19.359 --> 01:48:19.399
H.181101:48:22.720 --> 01:48:28.199
I was right, I was right, Only it wasn't gargan.181201:48:29.640 --> 01:48:40.800
Oh s's a lovely morning, car lovely. I looked for181301:48:40.880 --> 01:48:42.479
Lieutenant Greg as soon as I got up.181401:48:42.960 --> 01:48:44.399
He wasn't in the garden anymore.181501:48:44.760 --> 01:48:48.359
He must have got tired, gone home or back to181601:48:48.479 --> 01:48:50.960
headquarters wherever policeman go.181701:48:52.119 --> 01:48:54.359
Oh dear as the Swanson's dog.181801:48:55.319 --> 01:48:56.159
He's got into our.181901:48:56.119 --> 01:49:02.520
Guard again, Helene.182001:49:04.760 --> 01:49:10.800
Maybe maybe he won't be there, Helene.182101:49:11.880 --> 01:49:12.359
Where are you?182201:49:15.279 --> 01:49:15.319
What?182301:49:15.960 --> 01:49:16.000
What?182401:49:17.560 --> 01:49:20.479
Lieutenant in his throat?182501:49:21.920 --> 01:49:28.600
Come inside the kitchen.182601:49:29.600 --> 01:49:32.319
Come where you're going the kitchen?182701:49:35.479 --> 01:49:36.119
What are you doing?182801:49:36.359 --> 01:49:45.359
The draw silverware? Yes, bits here, that's right.182901:49:47.479 --> 01:49:50.359
I got you washed it last night. I kiss you.183001:49:50.680 --> 01:49:51.199
You'd be wrong.183101:49:51.640 --> 01:49:54.239
I did wash it last night, but the stains are183201:49:54.279 --> 01:49:56.039
still there, the brown.183301:49:56.399 --> 01:50:00.960
These are fresh ones, Aline, get out of my way.183401:50:01.960 --> 01:50:03.880
I've got to go to the bird room.183501:50:04.239 --> 01:50:05.760
Don't go away from it.183601:50:09.039 --> 01:50:12.560
I was holding the carving knife in my hand, started183701:50:12.640 --> 01:50:13.920
to put it down, and then.183801:50:15.479 --> 01:50:19.600
I held on to it anyway. It would pay. Taking183901:50:19.680 --> 01:50:23.520
the covers off the cages awkward, but I held on184001:50:23.720 --> 01:50:27.479
to it anyway. The birds were still.184101:50:29.199 --> 01:50:33.640
It remained still unless I took the covers off.184201:50:35.279 --> 01:50:38.399
Elaine, tell me what's wrong.184301:50:39.039 --> 01:50:42.960
Don't come any closer, Elaine, Please, not any closer.184401:50:45.680 --> 01:50:47.840
Yes, the one with the brown sting.184501:50:48.840 --> 01:50:53.720
Oh gosh, don't say anything the night before last, Elaine.184601:50:53.760 --> 01:50:55.640
Don't ask questions. That's dangerous.184701:50:56.760 --> 01:51:01.640
Last you have the knife, Car, Yes, give it to me.184801:51:01.840 --> 01:51:06.119
No, please, Car, No, say where you are all right?184901:51:07.159 --> 01:51:12.039
You may keep the knife because look car revolver.185001:51:12.840 --> 01:51:16.399
Yes, Lieutenant Gregg's revolver.185101:51:17.199 --> 01:51:19.840
Elae, give that to me.185201:51:20.760 --> 01:51:24.439
Oh no, I took it from Lieutenant greg last night185301:51:25.880 --> 01:51:31.159
after he stopped crying. They always cry when you didn't185401:51:31.439 --> 01:51:33.399
like it. The way you've been looking at me, Carl,185501:51:34.680 --> 01:51:36.560
you were thinking that maybe.185601:51:36.359 --> 01:51:38.720
You'd have to send me back to craig Man. I185701:51:38.920 --> 01:51:43.960
wasn't you were, Car, I know it were after Chester185801:51:44.039 --> 01:51:44.600
blud eyed.185901:51:45.239 --> 01:51:45.960
That's where you are.186001:51:47.199 --> 01:51:49.119
Keep your hands away from the backcage.186101:51:49.199 --> 01:51:50.319
Don't pull off the cover.186201:51:51.640 --> 01:51:59.239
Oh, oh, Carl, I've heard you never never mind, but186301:51:59.399 --> 01:52:00.159
I didn't on.186401:52:01.880 --> 01:52:04.159
Are you going to cry like the others?186501:52:05.159 --> 01:52:12.560
It was my fault? Loved you too, well. I I186601:52:12.920 --> 01:52:17.560
really kill those others, not you, my pa.186701:52:18.800 --> 01:52:22.439
That's a very silly thing to say, and I'll become186801:52:22.600 --> 01:52:23.359
quite angry.186901:52:24.079 --> 01:52:26.479
Huh, I am quite angry.187001:52:31.319 --> 01:52:31.479
Car.187101:52:33.000 --> 01:52:33.520
You're silly.187201:52:34.680 --> 01:52:39.720
You pull the covers off the cage. Car, Car, I'm187301:52:39.720 --> 01:52:43.239
