Come closer, my dear. Tonight the glass trembles, the sea goes sightless, and a tree learns your name. We’ll drink, we’ll listen, and we’ll see what answers when we call out in the dark.

  • 🍷 A Drink with Dionysius — A small-time schemer toasts his luck and finds a warhead at the bottom of the bottle. Greed, old flames, and the kind of deal that stains the soul.
  • 😱 Terror Stricken (The Whistler) — Fear begins as a whisper and ends as gangrene. Paranoia swells until every heartbeat sounds like a verdict.
  • 🚢 Voyage Through Darkness (Suspense) — A ship at night, a passenger who cannot see, and a killer moving like weather across the deck. The ocean keeps its secrets—until it doesn’t.
  • 🌲 The Demon Tree (Dark Fantasy) — In the wrong forest, the bark has memory. Bloodlines are tallied in rings, and the wood speaks back when you breathe its name.

Finish your drink, keep your hands inside the light, and do not—under any circumstance—turn your back on the tree.

1
00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:15.320
My dear, come on in, please please, I'm feeling rather jubilant.

2
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:22.480
As you likely know, the season of the Witch is

3
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:28.199
approaching very quickly, and I always get a little extra

4
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:33.679
pep in my step when such a thing occurs. Please

5
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:38.119
please have a seat. The tea is already going. It'll

6
00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:42.759
be nice and warm and comforting as we enjoy something cold,

7
00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:50.759
chilling and upsetting. What's that? Well, I'm not sure, but

8
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:53.920
I sure am glad to have you here with me.

9
00:00:54.799 --> 00:00:57.759
As the season begins. I think I'll be in a

10
00:00:57.840 --> 00:01:03.280
celebratory mood the entire time. I feel positively as if

11
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:07.439
I had a drink with dionysis.

12
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:30.280
The CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents. Come in, Welcome.

13
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:32.640
I'm E. G. Marshall.

14
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:39.280
There is no disguise which can for long conceal love

15
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:44.480
where it exists, or simulate it where it does not,

16
00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:48.719
So said the French philosopher, to which we might add,

17
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:49.719
there is.

18
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:52.480
No chain so strong, no wall so.

19
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:56.280
High, but can imprison love when its time has come

20
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:57.000
to be free?

21
00:01:58.159 --> 00:01:59.599
What is it? It says?

22
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:05.239
One of this see reap. It is a nuclear warhead.

23
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:08.080
A nuclear warhead, that.

24
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:11.560
Is what it says. What can we do with a

25
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:12.680
nuclear warhead.

26
00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:17.840
What can we do? We can sell it, sell it?

27
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:21.800
Oh what water purchase a nuclear warhead?

28
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:33.439
Our mystery drama A Drink with Dionysius was written especially

29
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:37.840
for the Mystery Theater by Sam Dan and stars Fred Gwynn.

30
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.080
It is sponsored in part by Buick Motor Division and

31
00:02:42.560 --> 00:02:46.960
arm Allergy Relief Medicine. I'll be back shortly with that

32
00:02:47.080 --> 00:03:01.479
one breeze there, the man with souls so dead, who

33
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:06.759
never to himself had said, this is my own, my

34
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:12.960
native land. I'm not sure. They seem to be such cynical.

35
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:18.159
Skeptical times, so alien to honest sentiment, so impatient with

36
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:23.479
the traditional values. But perhaps it's all oppose. Perhaps underneath,

37
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:28.159
as the songwriter said, every heart beats true under red,

38
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:32.439
white and blue. Well, our mission today is to examine

39
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:36.560
the heart of a most unlikely patriot, one Sprinkles Magoon,

40
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.800
and his story should be told by a man who

41
00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:44.439
is both his best friend and his worst enemy, Detective

42
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:46.680
Sergeant Francis K. Flummer.

43
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:50.039
I wouldn't say I was Sprinkle's best friend, and since

44
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:54.439
Sprinkles himself was as tereremy, I'm going to fall short there, though,

45
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.960
what you could say without fear of favor is a

46
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:03.520
Sprinkles was a look and I'm a cop. So from

47
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:07.240
time to time we meet in the way, a routine business,

48
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:09.960
a lot of Sprinkles.

49
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:12.879
I do not believe we are acquainted.

50
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:13.759
I feel it.

51
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.639
I don't know anything what's done. I have not heard anything,

52
00:04:17.759 --> 00:04:19.000
I have not seen anything.

53
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.480
All right, Sprinkles, how did it hit you?

54
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:26.160
Nobody has ever treated Sprinkles maccoon. He always pays his

55
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.399
own way. Now, if you will be so kind as

56
00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.319
to excuse me, I cannot afford to be seen.

57
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:36.439
In public chattering with the police side. That is the

58
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:40.639
German language for the cops.

59
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:47.600
And so we'll go. You know, Sprinkles was doing this and.

60
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.720
That here and now and then they really wasn't bothering

61
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:56.040
anybody too much. After a while in the department, you learn,

62
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:59.279
and as far as second things are concerned, it's best to.

63
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:02.879
Live and let let if you know what I mean. Well,

64
00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:05.839
you know, one night I'm sitting at the desk, looking

65
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:06.639
at the clock.

66
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:09.720
On the wall and the snow on a sidewalk, hoping

67
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:12.360
that nobody's gonna do anything bad to somebody to laugh

68
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:14.839
to midnight, at which time my relief will have to

69
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:17.240
handle it when the phone.

70
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:23.959
Ringers Plumber Flummer, Yeah, this is sergeant Flummer. Sergeant it

71
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:28.680
is me. Oh who are you? Is this Sprinkles?

72
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:30.000
Sprinkles?

73
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:35.839
Ooh, Sprinkles, what's up? I Sprinkles? You still laugh?

74
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:36.399
Yes?

75
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:37.920
I am present.

76
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:43.639
It is just it is just what it is. Just

77
00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.720
I am wondering, wondering about what.

78
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:49.519
I am wondering. I am doing the right thing.

79
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:51.040
You know what connection?

80
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:55.160
Get this connection talking with the John Toms?

81
00:05:55.920 --> 00:06:00.639
Why that is the French language work for the cops. Well,

82
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:05.560
what do you want to talk about? Uh?

83
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:07.160
Would you like to come up here?

84
00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:08.079
Why?

85
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:09.399
Why?

86
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:10.759
Uh?

87
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:13.079
I I believe I may have.

88
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:19.839
Killed somebody Sprankles. Therefore, can you come right over? I'm

89
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:20.399
on my way.

90
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:21.759
I thank you.

91
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:23.519
Okay, Well wait wait a minute.

92
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:25.399
Where are you Sprinkles?

93
00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:33.000
Yeah? Well, and yes, that sprinkles.

94
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:38.480
Yes, I believe I neglected to give you a final.

95
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:40.560
Piece of information. Yes, Sprinkles, where are you?

96
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:42.160
I am a many age.

97
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:44.439
Saint Regis please ninety eight?

98
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:48.439
Saint Regis, probably Sprinkles.

99
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:49.040
What's going on?

100
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:54.519
It is big shots, very big shoote.

101
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:04.199
A Regius place. Sprinkles must have been stepping up in

102
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:06.519
class or he'd be.

103
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.279
Doing a high rent history. Basically, he was a dip.

104
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.920
You know, a pickpocket. You have to work the crowds.

105
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:14.720
On.

106
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:15.160
He ain't.

107
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:19.439
Saint Regis was a luxury high rise. I flashed my

108
00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:22.240
start the flunky, and he run me up in the elevator.

109
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:24.720
And then patted down.

110
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:27.399

Yes you could.

You could say I was the instrument of his departure.

119
00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:15.040
You kill him and here is the gun.

120
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:18.240
Now look, Sprinkles, this ain't your style.

00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:23.319
change his spots? Yeah?

Maya, howcker you get mixed up in murder?

132

I did not know it would come to this.

00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:51.879
But you're a pit pocket, A good one.

134
00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:54.200
I can no longer earn a'm alice living.

135
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:59.720
There's a pit pocket. I'm a victim of progress. I

136
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:04.000
I need a poor pickpocket. He is obsolete. I am

137
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:08.600
the victim of what is called the cashless society.

138
00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:10.519
The cashless society.

139
00:09:10.759 --> 00:09:14.440
Sure there is no longer any cash walking around the street.

140
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.279
You left the wallet. What do you get? Credit cards?

141
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:20.240
Travelers checks?

142
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:20.720
Oh?

143
00:09:20.840 --> 00:09:25.360
Yeah, I cannot live on little plastic cards, now, can I?

144
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:25.480
No?

145
00:09:25.639 --> 00:09:26.120
I guess not.

146
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:29.279
But you still haven't told me why you had to

147
00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:36.720
shoot this mister cheery bery. Yeah, it's this long story,

148
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:40.120
sprinkles Jabelle, let me hear it.

149
00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:41.840
Just start at the beginning.

150
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:49.960
Yeah, the beginning. You could say it up again. When

151
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:54.039
this female individual whose name I shall not reveal but

152
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:59.000
shall refer to as Boston Sadie and counted me in

153
00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:02.919
the saloon which I shall likewise not to identify, but

154
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.000
which shall here enough to be known as Frisco Charlie's.

155
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.440
Well, look, Colie got here, Sprinkles, magoon.

156
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:15.720
Sadie, forced than city in the flesh, you have added

157
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:19.519
a generous amount of thought City marriage life must agree with.

158
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:21.080
Oh no, it don't.

159
00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:23.559
Oh, Oh, I am truly sorry to.

160
00:10:23.559 --> 00:10:24.840
Get it, Sprinkles.

161
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:29.240
I got a little proposition, interested.

162
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.279
Boy, Sadie. I thought you were turning honest.

163
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:36.279
Yeah, said I. You know, the little cottage in the country,

164
00:10:36.440 --> 00:10:40.159
the roses climbing over the fence and whipper wheels.

165
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:41.919
What's the use?

166
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:44.200
Oh, I am indeed sorry to get that. There is

167
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:47.080
a sour note in the symphony of your happiness.

168
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:49.480
I thought I was marrying a civilian.

169
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:54.080
So didn't you No a mane of thief, a thief.

170
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:57.519
I was under the impression that Elwood was an upright,

171
00:10:57.840 --> 00:11:01.679
legitimate member of society with a job. He's not an

172
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:03.759
honest thief like you and me and the rest of us.

173
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:05.639
He's the worst kind.

174
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:06.720
The worst kind.

175
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:11.240
He's a closet thief. He wants to steal, but he

176
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:12.000
don't have a nerve.

177
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:14.399
Oh that is bad.

178
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:16.639
I thought it to be a new life for me.

179
00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:18.519
On the wedding night he.

180
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:20.559
Said that, I say, are you sure you would like

181
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:23.039
to discuss this infimate matter with.

182
00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:27.039
Me, he said, Dalin, and I have a confession to

183
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:27.320
make me.

184
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:28.679
Are you sure you want me to listen?

185
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:32.000
He said, dearest, I want you to show.

186
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:32.600
Me the ropes.

187
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:37.159
He said that, yeah, all my life, he said, I

188
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.799
always wanted to be a cook, but I didn't know how. Please,

189
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:41.000
my dearest, teach me.

190
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:42.000
Did you.

191
00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:45.639
There when all my dreams are going straight?

192
00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:48.679
But when you love a guy?

193
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:49.960
Yeah?

194
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:54.080
Yeah, I said to him, Angel, you can't just go

195
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:57.679
out and become a thief, especially at you're arranged thirty five.

196
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:02.360
True, if you possess calling it showed herself in early life,

197
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:05.159
like ballet benches, violinits.

198
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.559
Yeah, I said, what do you want to be a

199
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:08.960
safe cracker, a pickpocket?

200
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:10.840
You gotta first become.

201
00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:12.159
An apprentice, That is a truth.

202
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:14.039
You gotta work and study day and night.

203
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:15.320
Oh I remember.

204
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:17.480
But if that's what you want, I guess I can

205
00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:19.000
support us while you learn.

206
00:12:19.200 --> 00:12:21.600
And just where is she attending school?

207
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:24.080
He don't want to quit his job.

208
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:27.000
Oh, but how can I quit the job?

209
00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:29.240
He says, I got vacation, sick.

210
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:31.799
Leave, hospitalization, and in twenty years I get a pension.

211
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:36.200
Well, those are extremely powerful arguments but he ain't happy,

212
00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:38.519
So what is going to take place?

213
00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:41.919
Well, I figured out how he could get some action

214
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:42.919
in the place where he.

215
00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:46.279
Works, good thinking, And just where is he employed?

216
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:47.720
On an army base?

217
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:51.120
Well, I do not understand what is there for steel

218
00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:51.960
on an army base?

219
00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:53.080
Challenge?

220
00:12:53.200 --> 00:13:00.639
No, no, but you're close close pistols? Huh, Well, why

221
00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:02.840
do you say, Sprinkles, What do I say?

222
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:06.639
I say, regretfully, no, thank you.

223
00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:08.960
Forty five caliber automatic.

224
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:12.600
I am allergic for firearms. I am a peaceful citizen.

225
00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:15.000
Plenty of guys are in the market for a nice, new,

226
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:17.039
shiny forty five caliber automatic.

227
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:18.679
I just remembered I have disappointment.

228
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:21.320
Come on, you don't know appointment, but.

229
00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:24.399
I do with a psychiatrist, sprinkle, maybe you'd better see

230
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:26.559
one though. Also, if you believe you can steal guns

231
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:27.399
from an army.

232
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:29.759
Post but I figured how to do it, then.

233
00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:31.840
Permit me to issue the very best of look.

234
00:13:32.080 --> 00:13:33.279
But it needs.

235
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.799
You, Sprinkles, it needs your fingers.

236
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:36.679
My fingers.

237
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:39.559
Yeah, we know who carries the keys to the room

238
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:40.159
where the guns are.

239
00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:44.120
Capper. I am sorry, say listen, there's nothing to it.

240
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.759
I even talked it over, mumbles Penny Feather.

241
00:13:47.159 --> 00:13:47.679
Mumbles.

242
00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:51.039
You have no idea how anxious Mumbles is to get

243
00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:52.399
a hold of some of that hardware.

244
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:53.639
Let's say they do not.

245
00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:56.360
Mumble said to me we were sitting right at this

246
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:00.240
table here. He said, you know who would be right

247
00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.440
for a job like this, Sprinkles.

248
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:03.519
The goon.

249
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:06.000
Mumble.

250
00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:09.720
So he's always had an exaggerated estimation.

251
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:15.120
Of my dollars, Sprinkles, you're in I guarantee five grand.

252
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:16.039
Five grand.

253
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:18.120
I need to pick that up in a good week city.

254
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:20.360
Look, it's waiting for us in a cart, and in

255
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:24.600
that army storeroom it's packed with forty five caliber pistols.

256
00:14:25.480 --> 00:14:26.759
How do we get it out of there?

257
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:31.399
You don't worry about that, You just get the keys.

258
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:38.440
What do you tell them, he sprinkles, You got yourself

259
00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:41.480
into a caper to knock off some pistols from the army.

260
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:44.039
They do have a lot of them, Sergeanty, You could

261
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:46.440
you know, you would think with all those autumn pops

262
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:49.480
and know if they would not require any more small firearms.

263
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:55.200
How well, never mind that they actually steal the guns. Yes,

264
00:14:55.960 --> 00:15:02.159
how I don't know. I only know what I did, And.

265
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:03.159
What did you do?

266
00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:12.480
I stole the keys to the keys y is. No

267
00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:16.360
matter how carefully and closely guarded an object may be,

268
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.320
there is always the key that opens the lock that

269
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:25.559
secures the door. Therefore, one must also carefully guard the key.

270
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:29.559
It also follows that one must also carefully guard the

271
00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:33.639
person who has access to the key, and one must

272
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.960
also carefully guard all those who what you see where

273
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:42.240
this goes Somewhere there has to be a weak link.

274
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:58.279
There is, and the chain snaps enact too. There was

275
00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:01.919
the veil through which I might not see. There was

276
00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:06.360
a door to which I found no key. Such was

277
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:09.720
a lot of mister Edward Fitzgerald, the poet of the Rubia.

278
00:16:10.279 --> 00:16:12.639
Perhaps he might have found the key had he been

279
00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:16.559
fortunate to enlist the cooperation of our own Sprinkles Magoon,

280
00:16:17.080 --> 00:16:21.759
an expert at finding things, especially when they happened to

281
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:27.480
be in someone else's pocket. We go forward, now, Sprinkles,

282
00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:31.440
we have to proceed in an orderly fashion. You understand,

283
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:34.159
without a question, Sergeant Flummer.

284
00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:39.600
Sir Boston say, he arranges to cut you into a

285
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:43.360
scheme to swipe some forty five caliber pistols from.

286
00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:44.039
An army base.

287
00:16:44.279 --> 00:16:48.639
Right, you are correct, sergeant. Now where's this guy on

288
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:52.720
the floor? This very dead guy come in.

289
00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:57.720
He does not come in just yet. He don't know.

290
00:16:58.519 --> 00:17:01.200
It is still too early for him to make his appearance.

291
00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:05.759
Nice springles, Where are we?

292
00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:08.920
We are still in first Go Charlie's blah and quill.

293
00:17:10.680 --> 00:17:13.960
I am still engaged in conversation with Boston, Sadi Taught,

294
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:17.559
and the pros and the cons, the alsos and the babies.

295
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:21.359
What you were saying to me is that all I

296
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:24.039
have to do is get the key, right? Is that

297
00:17:24.119 --> 00:17:24.839
what you were saying?

298
00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:28.880
That's the whole grand opera. All you gotta do is

299
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:29.839
get the key?

300
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.000
Uh? And where does that key happen to be?

301
00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:39.960
In somebody's pocket? Namely Lieutenant Melvin McBride, also known as Moonface.

302
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:43.519
He has the key to the gun room.

303
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:46.759
You got to fixture down, pat, you lift the key

304
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:50.440
to make a wax impression, then you slip the key

305
00:17:50.519 --> 00:17:52.039
back into Moonface's pocket.

306
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:55.079
You follow this, I follow, I follow, but I do

307
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:56.759
not know if I like where these go.

308
00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:59.440
Oh you're gonna love it. You'll see that. We'll get

309
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.000
the box with the guns, bring it to you, and

310
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:06.599
you make the delivery. The Mumbles pick up the cash,

311
00:18:07.359 --> 00:18:08.119
and we're home.

312
00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:11.279
But they will not the guns are gone on it today?

313
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:12.160
How would they know?

314
00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:12.680
What?

315
00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:14.880
Don't they check up on his situation?

316
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:15.480
Sure?

317
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.440
But sorely is the inventory clerk?

318
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:21.119
And the who may I ask?

319
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:22.279
Is that thor leaf?

320
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:23.799
My husband?

321
00:18:25.039 --> 00:18:27.279
Oh?

322
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:28.920
Do we spend the rest of the night showing the

323
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:31.720
fat or do we say green light?

324
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:40.440
Leave us go? Then you said let's go. Yeah, right, Sprinkles,

325
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:42.759
I said leave us go?

326
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:47.839
And we went where to a place that is named

327
00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:52.039
the Big Burger, Big beggar. Yeah, this is where Lieutenant

328
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:53.839
Won't facement pipe takes on his lunch.

329
00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:56.400
Don't have a messh or baseball?

330
00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:58.960
What did they do? But this lieutenancy, he finds something

331
00:18:59.039 --> 00:19:00.079
wrong with it?

332
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:00.880
Something wrong?

333
00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:03.240
Yeah, on the base they serve meals that are full

334
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:06.160
of proteins and vitamins and all the good things to

335
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:10.039
give a person rosy cheeks, wear rest, a big burger.

336
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:14.160
A little town of moon Face is able to consume four.

337
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:17.000
Big burgers, four fries, two thick masks, an apple pie

338
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:19.759
and jerry pie. Put chocolate ice cream on the Jurry

339
00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:21.319

457
00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:06.960

00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:42.279
You Now they can walk into a bank instead of

468
00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:47.279

469
00:25:47.559 --> 00:25:50.480
But you have your imagine the house.

470
00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:59.319
Way spring, because that is the missile that's been reported missing.

471
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:03.559
The very lieutenant, how did you? It seems to say

472
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:07.039
these husbands made them feel mistake? He pitched up the wrong.

477
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:23.680

A nuclear missile war.

483
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:37.960
It's only a small one.

484
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:40.720
You mean I was just laying around where anybody could

485
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:41.240
get out of it.

486
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:44.359
Oh no, no, you have no idea the security. There

487
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:48.160

488
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:49.240
this thing that that?

489
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:50.640
Then how do we get it?

490
00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:54.440
All that security is up in the front. Around the back,

491
00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:55.680
there's a small door.

492
00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:59.960
Lady, you have broken the unwritten rule. You have worked

493
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:00.960
with an amateur.

494
00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:05.279
What could I do? I'm in love? It meant so

495
00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:09.160

496
00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:12.319
bigger deal. Yeah yeah, it's a chance to make the

497
00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:13.680
biggest store of all time.

498
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:16.200
To what kind of score are you referring?

499
00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:18.200
We'll sell the warhead.

500
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:19.799
Oh yeah, yeah.

501
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:21.960
You may be no offense who will purchase a.

502

504
00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:27.839
No, no, city, leave me inform you as to our

505
00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:30.960
immediate course of a Wait, sprinkle we shall take the

506

the doorstep like there was a new born base.

508
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:38.759

I do not think so.

515
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:51.160
We are gonna sell this warhead. And I know who

516
00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:53.400
would want to buy it? You do, I know just

517
00:27:53.480 --> 00:27:57.920
the customer. I know just the right customer.

518
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:07.680
A customer for a fully armed nuclear warhead? Who would

519
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:08.720
want to buy one?

520
00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:09.920
Now?

521
00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:14.279
There are all sorts of interesting possibilities, all kinds of

522
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:18.400
potential situations. And when you consider our good friend Sprinkles

523
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:23.440
and the company he keeps, their permutations and combinations, well

524
00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:26.000
they add up to infinity.

525
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:29.720
But three is only a few minutes.

526
00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:43.160
There is no substitute for hard work, said mister Thomas Albaddison,

527
00:28:43.400 --> 00:28:46.119
And of course he was right. Those who choose to

528
00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:50.440
chase easy money soon find themselves working harder and harder

529
00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:53.880
to catch it. And somehow it just keeps eluding the grasp.

530
00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:58.880
As mister Sprinkle's magoon, our protagonist has discovered.

531
00:28:59.440 --> 00:29:01.240
I know who'll buy a missile?

532
00:29:01.519 --> 00:29:02.000
Who?

533
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:04.400
Who do you think? An enemy agent?

534
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:06.680
Oh? What you hurt me?

535
00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:07.680
An enemy agent?

536
00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:09.400
But but saity.

537
00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:12.240
Watch, I do not think it is right?

538
00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:12.720
Why not?

539
00:29:13.240 --> 00:29:15.559
Well, and they'll pay a big price.

540
00:29:16.079 --> 00:29:18.480
Say the money, it's not all there is the life?

541
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:18.759
Oh?

542
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:20.240
I agree with that one hundred percent.

543
00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:22.680
And this is a sacred thing, Sadie.

544
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:26.319
How do you know? Well, I okay, I just figured

545
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:29.759
it out. So either it's a secret thing or it ain't.

546
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:33.319
Right, well, yes, right, Well, if it ain't a.

547
00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:35.799
Secret, then the enemy already knows about it and there's

548
00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:39.400
no harm done. Right, Well, and it's okay to sell it, right?

549
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:41.000
Uh?

550
00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:41.640
Yeah, right?

551
00:29:42.160 --> 00:29:44.720
But what if it is a secret then we cannot

552
00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:46.920
sell it. Then we have to sell it?

553
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:50.519
Oh sure, I'm afraid I do not see what so.

554
00:29:50.440 --> 00:29:52.880
We can make sure there will be peace in the world.

555
00:29:53.759 --> 00:29:54.599
How does that work?

556
00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:58.200
But you see, the enemy will now know what kind

557
00:29:58.240 --> 00:30:00.720
of secret weapon we got, what can do to him

558
00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:04.279
if he steps out of line? What's gonna happen if

559
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:06.599
he tries to mes around with a good old United

560
00:30:06.640 --> 00:30:11.799
States of America? You see, oh, sprinkles, How else is

561
00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:13.680
he gonna know how important it is for him to

562
00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:17.559
behave himself. I've done any job in my life, but

563
00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:20.920
this is the first one I ever done that was

564
00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:22.720
gonna help my country too.

565
00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:26.640
And the city. Just where are you gonna discover an

566
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:27.400
enemy agent?

567
00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:27.640
Oh?

568
00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:30.319
That shouldn't be a problem, don't you read the papers?

569
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:34.920
The country's full of enemy agents. It's just a detail,

570
00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:39.359
you understand. Sooner or later we're bound to find one.

571
00:30:43.119 --> 00:30:47.000
And did you find one, Sprinkles, Yes, Lieutenant, we found

572
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:51.599
mister cherry Berry, the dead guy on the floor, the

573
00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:57.160
exact self same poison. Lieutenant, he's an enemy agents. I

574
00:30:57.279 --> 00:31:02.480
fear you are correct. And as you get to them,

575
00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:05.680
they say the country is full of enemy agents. They

576
00:31:05.720 --> 00:31:09.920
could be right, but enemy agents are like taxi gaps.

577
00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:12.079
There's never any around when you need one.

578
00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:16.200
And where as you get this, mister civ.

579
00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:19.359
Bieby, well, you are no doubt aware of the French

580
00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:21.559
language expression church has left fun.

581
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:23.279
Oh yeah, I think so.

582
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:27.240
It means you should always look for the name Sprinkles.

583
00:31:28.279 --> 00:31:33.680
I'm always amazed that you're It was the way erudition.

584
00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:37.519
I am a self educated personalistn and I hang around

585
00:31:37.599 --> 00:31:40.880
libraries and museums where I read books and I admire

586
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:46.880
pictures and also pick up games. There were good places,

587
00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:51.720
especially smart, skinny ones not my tipe. Well, as they

588
00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:55.920
say in the Latin language, they gusty bush known disputandem.

589
00:31:56.400 --> 00:31:57.079
What does that mean?

590
00:31:57.720 --> 00:31:59.519
Do not split into the wind?

591
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:01.400
Uh?

592
00:32:01.559 --> 00:32:05.319
We'll getting back to mister Jimmy Perry Riga Mortis has

593
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:07.599
already set in and we have yet.

594
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:08.440
To account from.

595
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:12.000
There is a lady of my acquaintance. She has a

596
00:32:12.000 --> 00:32:15.640
certain type of establishment. I shall not tell you her name,

597
00:32:15.720 --> 00:32:17.759
but I shall refer to him for now on his

00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:19.680
Madam Venus.

599
00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:20.680
An excellent alias.

600
00:32:21.039 --> 00:32:24.160
She meets all kinds of people. I will die and

601
00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:24.839
so on might.

602
00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:30.440
I figured I would just drop by for a sociable check.

603
00:32:33.400 --> 00:32:34.160
Spring proof.

604
00:32:35.559 --> 00:32:36.559
I was tricks.

605
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:38.240
Venus, like, there's no tomorrow.

606
00:32:38.480 --> 00:32:43.079
That is good, Uh Venus, you could do something for me.

607
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:45.440
Sprinkle honey. All you have to do is name it.

608
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:50.440
Uh Venus. You got all kinds of uh.

all of mankind.

00:32:54.519 --> 00:32:57.279
Yees, doctor's, lawyer's, politicians.

00:32:57.400 --> 00:32:57.839
You name it.

613
00:32:58.359 --> 00:32:58.480
Uh.

614
00:32:59.240 --> 00:33:02.319
Do you ever get a uh an enemy agent?

615
00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:06.240
Why do you ask I need one? I don't know.

616
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:08.920
I sure could use an enemy agent.

617
00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:12.240
I'm sure we get an occasional enemy agent now and then.

618
00:33:12.359 --> 00:33:17.480
But what we can't go around telling everybody would.

619
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:18.240
Be bad for business.

620
00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:21.319
You'd be surprised who comes in here.

621
00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:23.359
But you wouldn't be telling everybody.

622
00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:26.319
Just me. I'd like to do It's pring Rusbie.

623

Oh well that's different. I'll notify my associates here and let's.

I have got a nuclear warhead?

643
00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:52.480
What kind of nuclear warhead?

644
00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:53.159

Now?

653
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:17.000
How much you're gonna pay for that?

654
00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:18.039
How much?

655
00:35:18.639 --> 00:35:18.920
Okay?

656
00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:20.880
Wait for what? Wait?

Puss is thorough.

662
00:35:33.719 --> 00:35:36.639
But you are free, of course to try somewhere else.

663
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:40.519
But you will find that we paid top price. But

664
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:44.599
it is it is worth it should be a lot more.

665
00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:47.599
Die, friend, this is not his salms market.

666
00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:49.800
I am not sure.

667
00:35:50.119 --> 00:35:52.480
The Sprinkles bring here the merchandise.

668
00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:55.679
We would have a glass wine. We will talk and

669
00:35:57.079 --> 00:35:57.760

Yes, of course let me count it out for you.

00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:31.320
be if I could use a credit card, But I

692
00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:36.880
do not suppose it would be. Facts seventeen thousand and

693
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:41.719
five hundred every were thank you very much, a glass

694
00:37:41.800 --> 00:37:45.760
of wine and have a touch stuff. Then, mister Sprinkles,

695
00:37:46.559 --> 00:37:50.239
I beat you good night, and may we do more

696
00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:53.519
business in the near future. I do not think so.

697
00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:56.800
Oh have you any complaints about how you haven't treated?

698
00:37:57.119 --> 00:37:58.199
No, no, no, it's not that.

699
00:37:58.400 --> 00:37:59.760
It's just madness.

700
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:02.679
Oh, I see.

701
00:38:03.119 --> 00:38:05.880
I only show you this low item for one reason.

702
00:38:05.960 --> 00:38:09.800
I understand for money. No no, no, no no, do

703
00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:13.239
not polude yourself that money was just for expenses.

704
00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:15.679
Then why have you solved me the warhead?

705
00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:19.360
So you can learn what it does? And this will

706
00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:23.679
make you think twice about getting funny? Were the United

707
00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:25.519
States of America?

708
00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:30.880
Mister sprinkle still begin We already know what the warhead does?

709
00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:33.119
You do?

710
00:38:33.559 --> 00:38:38.000
Of course, the Dionysius missire. Then that's her, the ancient

711
00:38:38.119 --> 00:38:41.679
god of wine. It is fired into a concentration of

712
00:38:41.760 --> 00:38:46.519
advancing troops. It explodes and sends fumes a pure whiskey

713
00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:50.159
in such great strength that the soldiers fall to the

714
00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:52.039
ground in a drunken stupor.

715
00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:56.519
It's the workers. But of course, and you know all

716
00:38:56.559 --> 00:38:57.880
the time to be sure.

717
00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:05.000
And Sweed, help us to conquer your that had a democracy,

718
00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:09.800
just Paula. Yes, we shall bring you through freedom, full liberty,

719
00:39:09.960 --> 00:39:12.960
complete justice were a minute, and anyone who does not

720
00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:14.480
like it, we shall put him.

721
00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:15.559
I can stay all.

722
00:39:18.159 --> 00:39:20.360
That is how the deal with all the enemies of

723
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:20.920
the people.

724
00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:21.840
Do you agree?

725
00:39:21.960 --> 00:39:25.679
Hold on, mister, we shall tear down that flag. What

726
00:39:26.000 --> 00:39:27.480
a flag of oppression?

727
00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:28.880
The American flag?

728
00:39:29.039 --> 00:39:34.000
Oh no, you will me. I'll never again fly and pall.

729
00:39:33.960 --> 00:39:34.880
You the breed.

730
00:39:35.079 --> 00:39:37.199
You cannot talk the way Parl Glory.

731
00:39:37.360 --> 00:39:38.599
The deal is off.

732
00:39:39.039 --> 00:39:42.559
You are beginning to talk like an enemy of the people.

733
00:39:42.679 --> 00:39:47.039
Here's your money. Oh yes, and I am taking back

734
00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:50.639
that missile, you fool. Stand back that little here that

735
00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:51.480
does not scare me.

736
00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:53.719
Will not take one more stare, I said.

737
00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:54.440
The dealer is off.

738
00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:55.360
I have warned you.

739
00:40:01.119 --> 00:40:15.880
Week, mister cherry Berry. Uh, mister cherry Bery. Yeah, here's

740
00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:16.480
a slummer.

741
00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:21.800
I'm at ninety eight Saint Regis's apartment, tend I got

742
00:40:21.880 --> 00:40:27.159
one dead body, one Dynasius nuclear warhead. I got one

743
00:40:27.199 --> 00:40:31.719
prime suspect. You better call the FBI, the CIA, and

744
00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:33.440
anybody else who wants.

745
00:40:33.280 --> 00:40:33.760
A piece of it.

746
00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:38.239
And that is my story started Plumber.

747
00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:44.559
Yeah, Sprinkles, I have to arrest you for the murder

748
00:40:44.559 --> 00:40:48.039
of mister Jimmy Bery. I don't have to inform you

749
00:40:48.400 --> 00:40:51.280
that as if now anything you say could be used

750
00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:58.679
against you. Factum sorry, Uh, Sprinkles, I'll let poem go again.

751
00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:05.280
Sprinkled with white for a chorus, that is right, sprinkled

752
00:41:05.559 --> 00:41:09.280
with blue? Or hearts that are thus.

753
00:41:11.880 --> 00:41:11.960
Well?

754
00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:14.599
I says, you never read about them?

755
00:41:14.679 --> 00:41:14.960
Right there?

756
00:41:15.920 --> 00:41:20.239
You never read about Sprinkles and I'm missing a warhead. Yeah,

757
00:41:20.280 --> 00:41:23.840
I'll tell you what happened. The big wheel has decided

758
00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:28.000
to hush it up. And then somebody figures maybe Sprinkles

759
00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:30.440
isn't that dip but as a member of one of

760
00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:31.639
the security.

761
00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:32.920
Outfits and don't want to blow his cover.

762
00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:39.440
Anyhow, Sprinkles is are on the streets, alive and well

763
00:41:40.800 --> 00:41:45.519
and neither looking wallets uh trapping foreign agents.

764
00:41:47.559 --> 00:41:48.360
Take your pictures?

765
00:41:54.719 --> 00:41:56.760
And what do you think me?

766
00:41:57.679 --> 00:42:00.360
I don't know if it could be either of the

767
00:42:00.440 --> 00:42:04.559
alternatives that Lieutenant Flummer suggests, or it might be a

768
00:42:04.679 --> 00:42:09.679
third who knows one thing and one thing only is

769
00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:10.159
for sure.

770
00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:13.719
I shall be back in just a short while.

771
00:42:23.519 --> 00:42:27.280
I suppose it began way back in Exodus, where it

772
00:42:27.400 --> 00:42:31.599
is written spies were sent to spy out the land,

773
00:42:32.119 --> 00:42:35.199
and we've had spies ever since. Spying, as you know,

774
00:42:35.480 --> 00:42:38.880
is supposed to be a serious business, and therefore that

775
00:42:39.440 --> 00:42:44.119
is really what's funny about it. Our cast included Fred Gwynn,

776
00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:46.519
Robert Dryden, Bryana Rayburn and Ian Martin.

777
00:42:47.039 --> 00:42:50.079
The entire production was under the direction of Hyman Brown.

778
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:55.800
Well, I feel like that was a good way to

779
00:42:56.239 --> 00:43:00.880
kick off the evening. What do you think, my dear, Oh,

780
00:43:02.599 --> 00:43:07.719
fair enough? Well, I do hope you're enjoying yourself. I

781
00:43:07.760 --> 00:43:11.840
hope you're comfortable. It's very chilly in here, but I'm

782
00:43:12.400 --> 00:43:18.039
starting to enjoy it quite a bit. Well, I suppose

783
00:43:18.199 --> 00:43:21.280
at the end of the night, it's all about how

784
00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:26.480
you feel about how you feel. And I know myself

785
00:43:26.599 --> 00:43:31.639
quite well and I know you a bit too. We're

786
00:43:31.679 --> 00:43:36.840
both simply happy as long as we're terror stricken.

787
00:43:38.519 --> 00:43:56.039
The Signal Oil Program the whistler. That whistle is your

788
00:43:56.199 --> 00:43:58.159
signal for the Signal Oil Program.

789
00:43:59.320 --> 00:43:59.920
The Whistler.

790
00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:20.960
I am the Whistler, and I know many things. For

791
00:44:21.119 --> 00:44:22.039
I walk by night.

792
00:44:22.679 --> 00:44:24.760
I know many strange tales.

793
00:44:24.679 --> 00:44:26.679
Hidden in the hearts of men and women who have

794
00:44:26.760 --> 00:44:31.880
stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless terrors

795
00:44:31.960 --> 00:44:33.519
of which they dare not speak.

796
00:44:40.760 --> 00:44:44.880
Yes, friends, it's time for the Whistler, rated by independent research,

797
00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:49.039
the most popular West Coast program in radio history. And remember,

798
00:44:49.480 --> 00:44:53.360
let every traffic signal remind you with new signal gasoline

799
00:44:53.400 --> 00:44:56.320
you do go farther than ever. Look for the familiar

800
00:44:56.400 --> 00:45:00.360
big yellow and black circle side that identifies those popular

801
00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:04.599
signal service stations in seven western states from Canada to Mexico.

802
00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:11.239
And now the Whistler's strange story. Terror stricken.

803
00:45:19.800 --> 00:45:25.760
Fear can become a terrible thing, gangrenous, disintegrating, warping, twisting,

804
00:45:26.239 --> 00:45:28.719
gnawing at a man's mind until he is conscious of

805
00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:32.119
nothing else but its presence. That was the kind of

806
00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:35.639
fear that took hold of Benjamin Reynolds, and oddly enough,

807
00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:38.559
it was the natural outgrowth of the very thing that

808
00:45:38.719 --> 00:45:41.559
started him on the road to success. There was a trial,

809
00:45:42.079 --> 00:45:46.559
an important trial. There were big names involved, particularly the

810
00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:50.920
name of Andrew Miller, the accused and at that trial.

811
00:45:51.239 --> 00:45:55.400
Ten years ago, young Benny Reynolds, investment clerk just out

812
00:45:55.400 --> 00:45:59.840
of college, became Benjamin Reynolds star witness for the prosecution,

813
00:46:00.480 --> 00:46:04.079
and he was a good witness. Investment bankers in San

814
00:46:04.159 --> 00:46:07.280
Francisco and Wall Street in London glanced at the headlines

815
00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:11.840
and commented that this time, because of Benjamin Reynolds, Andrew

816
00:46:11.920 --> 00:46:14.079
Miller and his crowd were washed up for good.

817
00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:15.400
They were right.

818
00:46:18.599 --> 00:46:20.119
Order, please order in the court.

819
00:46:21.039 --> 00:46:24.760
Will the prisoner face the bench? Andrew Miller, you have

820
00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:27.639
been found guilty of the charge of grand lasnie. I

821
00:46:27.760 --> 00:46:30.440
therefore sent you to be confined within the state prison

822
00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:31.599
for a term of ten years.

823
00:46:32.239 --> 00:46:35.119
They lived. Remove the prisoner, you dirty, right, Renolds.

824
00:46:35.559 --> 00:46:49.079
I'll get you for this, Yes, Benjamin, that was the

825
00:46:49.159 --> 00:46:53.119
big break. Overnight you became the banker's champion, the man

826
00:46:53.159 --> 00:46:57.039
who almost single handedly broke up the Miller crowd. Today,

827
00:46:57.519 --> 00:47:01.239
just ten years later, you're head of the investment company,

828
00:47:01.559 --> 00:47:04.599
a pillar of the community. It's a nice morning as

829
00:47:04.639 --> 00:47:05.119
you sit.

830
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:07.760
At the desk in your private office looking at reports.

831
00:47:09.840 --> 00:47:13.159
John, will you send mister Barton and please yes forty

832
00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:18.199
six thousand alum. I can that can't be right? Gross

833
00:47:18.199 --> 00:47:21.760
commissions chargeable. Wait a minute, now, I know that's wrong.

834
00:47:24.440 --> 00:47:27.320
You wanted to see me, Ben, Yes, Ralph, these figures.

835
00:47:27.400 --> 00:47:29.559
Are you sure they're correct? Of course I prepared the

836
00:47:29.559 --> 00:47:33.079
statement myself. Things like this don't do my heart any good, Ralph,

837
00:47:33.159 --> 00:47:35.519
I say, sit down, will you. I'm sure there must

838
00:47:35.559 --> 00:47:37.880
be a mistake somewhere. I don't think so, But of

839
00:47:37.960 --> 00:47:40.119
course it's possible. Well suppose you recheck the may just

840
00:47:40.159 --> 00:47:40.519
to be sure.

841
00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:42.320
Well, that's a big job. I had to have to

842
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:44.000
go through all the records for the whole year. Again.

843
00:47:44.079 --> 00:47:47.480
I wouldn't ask you if I didn't think it was important. Well,

844
00:47:48.400 --> 00:47:50.800
perhaps I ought to call in the Monroe auditing company.

845
00:47:50.920 --> 00:47:53.800
No, I'll do it, Ben, No use taking on that expense.

846
00:47:53.920 --> 00:47:55.760
Well, all right, if you can have it by next Monday,

847
00:47:55.840 --> 00:47:57.239
otherwise I'll have to call Monroe.

848
00:47:57.679 --> 00:47:59.480
I've got to have those figures for the director's meeting.

849
00:47:59.599 --> 00:48:00.360
I'll have them for you.

850
00:48:02.199 --> 00:48:05.840
By the way, Ben, have you seen the papers? Yes?

851
00:48:05.960 --> 00:48:08.239
I glanced through them at breakfast. Did you buy any

852
00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:10.119
chance see this?

853
00:48:13.280 --> 00:48:13.440
Yes?

854
00:48:13.480 --> 00:48:13.920
I missed that.

855
00:48:15.079 --> 00:48:18.719
Among those released from state prison today is Andrew Miller,

856
00:48:19.639 --> 00:48:22.000
convicted ten years ago grand larceny in a trial that

857
00:48:22.119 --> 00:48:24.159
caused worldwide comment in financial circle.

858
00:48:25.519 --> 00:48:27.760
Remember him, what do you think?

859
00:48:28.599 --> 00:48:30.880
I remember what he said when the judge sentenced him. Yeah,

860
00:48:31.800 --> 00:48:34.480
does it make you a little nervous, ben I mean

861
00:48:34.760 --> 00:48:36.039
just knowing the man is on.

862
00:48:36.079 --> 00:48:36.639
The loose again.

863
00:48:37.719 --> 00:48:39.559
I doubt very much of Andy Miller will do anything

864
00:48:39.599 --> 00:48:44.239
that will send him up again. Still you never know,

865
00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:54.320
do you, No, Benjamin.

866
00:48:54.159 --> 00:48:54.719
You never know?

867
00:48:55.039 --> 00:48:55.440
Do Yet?

868
00:48:56.239 --> 00:48:58.679
Andy Miller wouldn't think of making good on his promise,

869
00:48:59.599 --> 00:49:04.880
or would somehow you can't concentrate, find yourself thinking about it,

870
00:49:05.039 --> 00:49:07.840
wondering walking to the water cooler in the corner of

871
00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:12.119
your office every five minutes, wiping perspiration from your forehead

872
00:49:12.159 --> 00:49:15.599
until your handkerchief is soggy, and the next morning it's

873
00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:18.360
worse as you answer your morning mail order for.

874
00:49:18.400 --> 00:49:21.239
One hundred chairs consolidated power and light at the market,

875
00:49:21.440 --> 00:49:26.039
thereby acknowledge it and say that was consolidated, wasn't it?

876
00:49:26.159 --> 00:49:27.960
I think it was Southern California?

877
00:49:28.079 --> 00:49:33.239
Edison, Oh, yes, make it Edison man, and uh, we'll

878
00:49:33.320 --> 00:49:39.239
be executed immediately, Vir truly yours received ker McDonald's and.

879
00:49:40.960 --> 00:49:41.760
What's sis.

880
00:49:43.639 --> 00:49:44.239
You rat?

881
00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:49.760
I'll get you and don't forget it. But she had

882
00:49:49.800 --> 00:49:52.119
the nerve to sign it. What's the matter, where's the

883
00:49:52.199 --> 00:49:52.960
envelope to this thing?

884
00:49:53.119 --> 00:49:54.400
Why Vera takes them off?

885
00:49:54.559 --> 00:49:58.679
Get very in here right away, right and get Boughton. Yes,

886
00:50:02.679 --> 00:50:06.159
and don't forget it, Andrew Miller.

887
00:50:07.559 --> 00:50:08.360
All the crust?

888
00:50:10.679 --> 00:50:11.079
Is that for me?

889
00:50:11.199 --> 00:50:11.320
Ben?

890
00:50:11.519 --> 00:50:16.519
Yes, take a look at this same word he used

891
00:50:16.519 --> 00:50:18.840
at the trial. That guy must be crazy.

892
00:50:18.960 --> 00:50:19.840
He signed it himself.

893
00:50:20.280 --> 00:50:21.719
What do you make of him? I don't know.

894
00:50:22.199 --> 00:50:24.280
Didn't lose any time, did he? I think he's trying

895
00:50:24.320 --> 00:50:27.119
to bluff you, or maybe he didn't write it.

896
00:50:27.199 --> 00:50:28.159
Oh he wrote it all right.

897
00:50:29.119 --> 00:50:29.599
I don't know.

898
00:50:30.119 --> 00:50:33.440
It's pretty fantastic after ten years, but in view of

899
00:50:33.480 --> 00:50:37.199
the threatening tone, i'd certainly checked to say it genuine. Yes,

900
00:50:38.679 --> 00:50:41.320
a center and please, well, don't see what she knows

901
00:50:41.320 --> 00:50:47.559
about it, Renald, Yes, Vera, did you notice this letter

902
00:50:47.599 --> 00:50:48.199
in the morning mail?

903
00:50:48.519 --> 00:50:48.639
Well?

904
00:50:48.639 --> 00:50:50.440
I don't read the mail, mister Renolds. I just opened

905
00:50:50.480 --> 00:50:51.360
it and put it on your desk.

906
00:50:51.400 --> 00:50:53.679
I've instructed them not to read company mail. Ben. Oh,

907
00:50:53.800 --> 00:50:54.920
of course I.

908
00:50:55.079 --> 00:50:56.719
Might remember if I saw the envelope.

909
00:50:58.199 --> 00:51:00.639
Have the waste basket containing the envelopes for today's mail

910
00:51:00.679 --> 00:51:01.559
brought into my office.

911
00:51:01.360 --> 00:51:01.599
Will you?

912
00:51:01.920 --> 00:51:03.079
I'm sorry, mister Reynolds.

913
00:51:03.119 --> 00:51:05.320
The janitor emptied all the waste baskets.

914
00:51:04.920 --> 00:51:05.400
An hour ago.

915
00:51:05.920 --> 00:51:09.159
HU, very well, what are you going to do now?

916
00:51:12.119 --> 00:51:15.880
I guess there's nothing I can do but call the police.

917
00:51:26.360 --> 00:51:29.679
With the prologue of terror stricken, the Signal Oil Company

918
00:51:29.719 --> 00:51:34.639
brings you another strange story by the whistler. If you've

919
00:51:34.679 --> 00:51:37.440
been reading the new car ads, and who hasn't, you've

920
00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:40.039
no doubt noticed the emphasis that's being put on increased

921
00:51:40.119 --> 00:51:43.239
mile age twenty five to thirty miles per gallon from

922
00:51:43.239 --> 00:51:44.119
some of the new models.

923
00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:47.280
Now, why do you suppose this is? Is it because

924
00:51:47.320 --> 00:51:48.079
folks today are.

925
00:51:48.039 --> 00:51:52.599
Interested in making dollars go farther well partly, but even

926
00:51:52.679 --> 00:51:56.039
more so they're interested in the increased engineering efficiency which

927
00:51:56.079 --> 00:51:59.760
makes that greater mile age possible. Yes, and right there

928
00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:02.199
you have the reason why Signal Oil Company is so

929
00:52:02.320 --> 00:52:04.639
proud of the fact that you now go farther than

930
00:52:04.679 --> 00:52:09.159
ever with new Signal gasoline. You see, Signals improved mileage

931
00:52:09.239 --> 00:52:12.599
is the result of increased power. Amazing new power, the

932
00:52:12.679 --> 00:52:16.320
same power that gives new Signal gasoline quicker starting, faster pickup,

933
00:52:16.760 --> 00:52:20.599
and quieter, higher anti knock. That's why we say look

934
00:52:20.679 --> 00:52:23.599
to your spidometer for the final measure of gasoline quality.

935
00:52:24.199 --> 00:52:26.920
You will find that the superpowered new gasoline that gives

936
00:52:26.960 --> 00:52:30.320
you peak performance is also the gasoline that now helps

937
00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:35.480
you go farther than ever new signal gasoline. And now

938
00:52:36.679 --> 00:52:37.559
back to the whistler.

939
00:52:58.360 --> 00:53:02.320
Well, Benjamin, the price tag on that testimony you delivered

940
00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:05.719
so efficiently at the trial of Andrew Miller ten years ago,

941
00:53:06.239 --> 00:53:09.239
and you're beginning to pay for it now. The police

942
00:53:09.320 --> 00:53:12.199
don't help much. All you can do is swear out

943
00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:15.039
a warrant for Miller's arrest and leave the rest up

944
00:53:15.119 --> 00:53:17.719
to them. They can't do a thing about that weak

945
00:53:17.760 --> 00:53:21.000
heart of yours, stop it from pounding every time someone

946
00:53:21.079 --> 00:53:24.360
comes to the door. And they can't bring your appetite

947
00:53:24.440 --> 00:53:28.320
back or help you still sleep at night. It's later

948
00:53:28.440 --> 00:53:30.480
than usual when you arrive at the office next day.

949
00:53:31.159 --> 00:53:33.280
Ralph Barton's busy on the books. As you go into

950
00:53:33.320 --> 00:53:35.760
your office, hang up your hat and go over to

951
00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:37.119
the water cooler for a drink.

952
00:53:44.400 --> 00:53:45.079
Hey guess.

953
00:53:51.039 --> 00:54:01.760
Yes, doctor cranees in the next office. Get him hurted.

954
00:54:01.880 --> 00:54:02.719
Yes, you're out of water.

955
00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:04.840
What's going on in the Toronto's what's happened?

956
00:54:04.920 --> 00:54:05.960
He call for help?

957
00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:06.519
Get a doctor.

958
00:54:06.679 --> 00:54:07.440
Here's a gun, for.

959
00:54:07.480 --> 00:54:09.320
One, what's keeping it as a doctor right down the hall.

960
00:54:11.079 --> 00:54:11.480
Time?

961
00:54:11.559 --> 00:54:12.639
Don't you realize every second?

962
00:54:12.679 --> 00:54:13.400
Talk here she comes?

963
00:54:13.440 --> 00:54:16.840
Now, stand back, stand back, Yes.

964
00:54:16.800 --> 00:54:18.079
Yes, he's a room doctor.

965
00:54:18.440 --> 00:54:18.960
Is it serious?

966
00:54:19.480 --> 00:54:19.719
Hmm?

967
00:54:20.760 --> 00:54:21.639
I can't tell yet.

968
00:54:22.880 --> 00:54:37.519
Looks very much like some form of poisoning. Well that

969
00:54:37.800 --> 00:54:41.039
was a close call, wasn't it, Benjamin. When you leave

970
00:54:41.119 --> 00:54:44.440
the hospital that night, you're still weak positive now that

971
00:54:44.599 --> 00:54:49.679
Miller means business. The police report that afternoon poison in

972
00:54:49.719 --> 00:54:52.360
the water cooler, just enough to knock a man out.

973
00:54:52.800 --> 00:54:55.880
No fingerprints, no way of knowing how Miller could have

974
00:54:56.039 --> 00:54:57.519
entered the office without being seen.

975
00:54:58.559 --> 00:55:01.679
Nothing they can tell you except to carry on as usual.

976
00:55:02.559 --> 00:55:06.639
For the next two days, you find yourself waiting for it, tense, expectant,

977
00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:10.280
but nothing happens, and you begin to relax a little

978
00:55:10.679 --> 00:55:13.199
to believe what the police lieutenant said about Miller being

979
00:55:13.960 --> 00:55:15.599
too smart to try it again.

980
00:55:16.320 --> 00:55:17.559
Perhaps they're right, Benjamin.

981
00:55:18.400 --> 00:55:20.880
Perhaps what you need is a change, a dinner out

982
00:55:20.920 --> 00:55:23.800
with your wife, Sally at a restaurant on sixth Streets.

983
00:55:26.119 --> 00:55:32.440
Then, dear then, or I'm sorry, Sally, I was thinking.

984
00:55:32.599 --> 00:55:36.000
Please try and forget a darling. How the whole thing's ridiculous.

985
00:55:36.599 --> 00:55:39.079
The man wouldn't have to take a chance like that. Oh,

986
00:55:39.159 --> 00:55:41.280
there must have been a mistake at the bottling. Come

987
00:55:41.360 --> 00:55:42.239
near some of.

988
00:55:42.360 --> 00:55:46.679
Course, Dear, No, let's forget it. No, I'm not, but

989
00:55:46.760 --> 00:55:47.440
I am hungry.

990
00:55:48.199 --> 00:55:49.000
Then do you mean it?

991
00:55:49.400 --> 00:55:50.280
Of course they don't.

992
00:55:50.360 --> 00:55:53.400
Why because you've hardly touched your meals last few days.

993
00:55:54.199 --> 00:55:57.840
Well that's order, I'm started. Well where do we start with?

994
00:55:58.480 --> 00:55:58.679
Well?

995
00:55:58.840 --> 00:55:59.960
What about a shrimp cocktail?

996
00:56:00.360 --> 00:56:02.679
Wonderful? Then the mixed green.

997
00:56:02.559 --> 00:56:04.119
Talent and their line for two?

998
00:56:08.320 --> 00:56:09.280
I'm the manager, you hurt?

999
00:56:09.760 --> 00:56:12.639
No, No, I'm all right. It missed me see there

1000
00:56:12.639 --> 00:56:14.960
in the lord. Oh, I don't know how. Who did it?

1001
00:56:15.039 --> 00:56:15.599
Oh I don't know, sir.

1002
00:56:15.679 --> 00:56:17.239
I came from over there somewhere.

1003
00:56:17.360 --> 00:56:19.519
Well, don't stand it with your mouth, hope and call

1004
00:56:19.599 --> 00:56:20.760
the police of course.

1005
00:56:20.599 --> 00:56:23.159
Right away, come on, come on, telling, let's get out.

1006
00:56:23.159 --> 00:56:23.480
Of course.

1007
00:56:31.440 --> 00:56:35.519
Well, whoever fired that shot meant business, didn't he? Benjamin?

1008
00:56:36.119 --> 00:56:38.239
Your heart's pounding like a trip hammer again as you

1009
00:56:38.280 --> 00:56:40.800
walk out of the nightclub. The hole in the wall

1010
00:56:41.000 --> 00:56:43.880
was six inches from your head, and that's awfully close.

1011
00:56:45.079 --> 00:56:47.000
Your heart almost stopped, didn't it?

1012
00:56:47.880 --> 00:56:48.519
Your terrorist?

1013
00:56:49.360 --> 00:56:52.679
You jumping every sound? And then you wonder why Miller

1014
00:56:52.719 --> 00:56:55.400
doesn't come right out and kill you. But you remember,

1015
00:56:55.519 --> 00:56:59.559
he's had ten long years to play his revenge. No

1016
00:57:00.400 --> 00:57:02.719
sudden death would be too easy. He wants to make

1017
00:57:02.800 --> 00:57:06.039
you suffer. Of course, sleep is out of the question.

1018
00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:09.760
Even the powders the doctor gave you have little effect

1019
00:57:09.840 --> 00:57:13.880
on your frenzied nerves. You imagine all kinds of things

1020
00:57:13.920 --> 00:57:15.079
as you lie there in bed.

1021
00:57:17.559 --> 00:57:23.079
Then yes, then why is he trying to kill you?

1022
00:57:24.360 --> 00:57:26.360
There's the poison water in the trip to the hospital,

1023
00:57:26.840 --> 00:57:30.719
then that shot tonight. Yeah, but the police will catch

1024
00:57:30.800 --> 00:57:31.440
him soon, he can.

1025
00:57:32.639 --> 00:57:34.239
I just hope it's soon enough.

1026
00:57:35.199 --> 00:57:39.800
Oh, that's the door in the world, no doubt it.

1027
00:57:44.159 --> 00:57:45.679
Hold your horses, I'm coming.

1028
00:57:49.760 --> 00:57:51.360
Oh what do you want?

1029
00:57:52.079 --> 00:57:52.719
What do I want?

1030
00:57:53.079 --> 00:57:54.280
Yes, that's what I said. What do you want?

1031
00:57:54.880 --> 00:57:57.119
I'm calling for the remains of the deer departed?

1032
00:57:58.199 --> 00:57:58.880
Are you drunk?

1033
00:57:59.480 --> 00:57:59.519
No?

1034
00:57:59.880 --> 00:58:01.239
I don't think so.

1035
00:58:01.599 --> 00:58:03.400
Now Look it's cold here at the door. Hurry and

1036
00:58:03.440 --> 00:58:04.800
state your business, please, I did.

1037
00:58:05.599 --> 00:58:07.800
I was sent to coal for the mortal remains.

1038
00:58:07.920 --> 00:58:09.679
Man a lie, will you talk? Since I haven't time

1039
00:58:09.719 --> 00:58:10.360
for foolishness.

1040
00:58:10.440 --> 00:58:13.000
This is sixteen twenty Runyon Avenue, isn't.

1041
00:58:13.079 --> 00:58:13.559
Yes it is?

1042
00:58:14.239 --> 00:58:15.280
Then it's the right place.

1043
00:58:16.440 --> 00:58:17.440
Who sent you anyway?

1044
00:58:17.920 --> 00:58:21.280
The gold Hills Mortuary. Now do you understand?

1045
00:58:21.440 --> 00:58:23.079
No, I don't. That must be some mistake.

1046
00:58:23.360 --> 00:58:26.440
The party on the phone was very explicit. He said,

1047
00:58:26.519 --> 00:58:30.800
sixteen twenty, Runyon avenue the remains of the late Benjamin Reynolds.

1048
00:58:30.960 --> 00:58:34.039
That's not funny, mister, I'm Benjamin Reynolds.

1049
00:58:34.400 --> 00:58:36.960
Oh now get out, Get out of the body of

1050
00:58:37.000 --> 00:58:37.679
Benjamin Reynolds.

1051
00:58:37.679 --> 00:58:42.920
Will give you a very black eye. Oh what's gonna

1052
00:58:43.000 --> 00:58:43.760
happen next?

1053
00:58:55.400 --> 00:58:59.000
How much more can you stand, Benjamin before your heart

1054
00:58:59.119 --> 00:59:03.320
gives out completely. You can't eat, you can't sleep. You

1055
00:59:03.480 --> 00:59:05.880
almost jump out of your skin at the slightest sound.

1056
00:59:06.760 --> 00:59:10.760
Miller is getting his revenge. He must be enjoying it immensely.

1057
00:59:11.880 --> 00:59:15.519
Sally makes you rest all day Sunday, but you're still befuddled.

1058
00:59:15.800 --> 00:59:19.519
You can't even talk straight anymore. You stutter. Monday morning,

1059
00:59:19.599 --> 00:59:22.360
you decide to walk to the office. You want to

1060
00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:32.719
try to think, Yes, that's it, walk and try to think, monitor,

1061
00:59:33.039 --> 00:59:34.440
monitor that booster, Dad.

1062
00:59:34.519 --> 00:59:35.599
Try to run this man down.

1063
00:59:35.719 --> 00:59:37.360
Hey, Hey, what's going on?

1064
00:59:38.559 --> 00:59:39.559
Try to run over this van?

1065
00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:40.559
You hurt me soon?

1066
00:59:41.239 --> 00:59:44.559
No, no, no, all right?

1067
00:59:44.960 --> 00:59:45.599
The devil you say.

1068
00:59:45.639 --> 00:59:46.519
You're shaking like a leaf.

1069
00:59:47.480 --> 00:59:50.280
Should should's my nurse? Quiet?

1070
00:59:50.719 --> 00:59:50.960
John?

1071
00:59:51.440 --> 00:59:52.119
Them? That's short?

1072
00:59:52.159 --> 00:59:54.199
Shamed to think it was a delivered attempt to kid you?

1073
00:59:54.760 --> 00:59:57.159
Yes, I think so too.

1074
00:59:57.639 --> 00:59:59.719
Any idea who might be trying to kill it?

1075
01:00:00.360 --> 01:00:00.599
Sure?

1076
01:00:01.800 --> 01:00:02.519
And deep Miller?

1077
01:00:02.880 --> 01:00:05.280
Okay, oh, I got to make a reporter of this ship.

1078
01:00:05.519 --> 01:00:08.280
What's your name? Ben? Benjamin?

1079
01:00:09.639 --> 01:00:10.079
Benjamin?

1080
01:00:10.599 --> 01:00:12.440
You better see your doctor, mister Reynold. Joe, you're in

1081
01:00:12.559 --> 01:00:13.000
bad shape.

1082
01:00:14.039 --> 01:00:15.000
I'll be all right.

1083
01:00:15.239 --> 01:00:16.760
I better send you home in a cap and no

1084
01:00:16.880 --> 01:00:17.639
condition to walk.

1085
01:00:24.519 --> 01:00:27.800
Another close call and you're scared almost to death, aren't you.

1086
01:00:28.760 --> 01:00:30.760
You wonder how much longer your heart will be able

1087
01:00:30.800 --> 01:00:33.159
to stand it? Not much longer.

1088
01:00:33.280 --> 01:00:33.440
Now.

1089
01:00:34.159 --> 01:00:36.679
You tremble so violently you can't even light a cigarette.

1090
01:00:37.400 --> 01:00:40.320
Even at home. You can't sit still. You pace the

1091
01:00:40.440 --> 01:00:45.159
floor back and forth all day long, until finally night comes.

1092
01:00:46.000 --> 01:00:46.880
You can't sleep.

1093
01:00:47.199 --> 01:00:51.079
You toss and turn. Yes, the days are bad, but

1094
01:00:51.239 --> 01:00:53.159
the nights are filled with terror.

1095
01:00:55.840 --> 01:00:57.039
Who's there?

1096
01:01:02.159 --> 01:01:02.440
What's that?

1097
01:01:02.679 --> 01:01:03.239
What's the house?

1098
01:01:05.960 --> 01:01:06.440
The shutter?

1099
01:01:09.039 --> 01:01:09.239
Huh?

1100
01:01:11.360 --> 01:01:21.199
Yes, yes, of course, only the shutter. It was only

1101
01:01:21.280 --> 01:01:24.440
the shutter, wasn't it then? But all the noises in

1102
01:01:24.519 --> 01:01:27.920
the night have a sinister meaning, haven't they? After what

1103
01:01:28.119 --> 01:01:32.440
seems like ours. Exhaustion finally takes over and you've just

1104
01:01:32.599 --> 01:01:33.360
fallen asleep.

1105
01:01:33.480 --> 01:01:42.480
When who's who's the door of this hard He's not

1106
01:01:42.639 --> 01:01:43.159
the door.

1107
01:01:46.039 --> 01:01:46.400
The phone?

1108
01:01:47.880 --> 01:01:48.400
Who the devil?

1109
01:01:48.440 --> 01:01:48.840
Can that be?

1110
01:01:49.800 --> 01:01:51.840
I've give them a piece of my Hello.

1111
01:01:53.199 --> 01:01:54.840
Is this Benjamin Reynolds?

1112
01:01:55.159 --> 01:01:55.559
Yes it is.

1113
01:01:55.960 --> 01:01:57.880
What's the big idea of calling me this house the night?

1114
01:01:58.159 --> 01:01:59.000
Don't you know?

1115
01:01:59.599 --> 01:01:59.880
No one?

1116
01:02:00.039 --> 01:02:00.599
I don't care?

1117
01:02:00.760 --> 01:02:04.320
Oh, yes you do. You got a letter the other day?

1118
01:02:04.960 --> 01:02:07.960
Remember Andrew Miller?

1119
01:02:08.400 --> 01:02:10.760
Why how do you guess.

1120
01:02:12.320 --> 01:02:17.039
I'm going to get you? Remember say say say wait

1121
01:02:17.039 --> 01:02:17.440
a minute.

1122
01:02:17.559 --> 01:02:22.119
You haven't much time left to live, Reynolds. It's coming tomorrow.

1123
01:02:22.360 --> 01:02:26.920
But hello, Hello, Hello?

1124
01:02:29.599 --> 01:02:29.960
Hung up?

1125
01:02:33.519 --> 01:02:40.400
Whoa but trace? I called? Quick? Please? What is your

1126
01:02:40.480 --> 01:02:41.159

01:02:41.280 --> 01:02:41.800
I'd one or two?

1129
01:02:41.840 --> 01:02:42.559
Four on? Hurry?

1130
01:02:42.639 --> 01:02:43.719
Please one moment?

1131
01:02:43.800 --> 01:02:44.079
Please?

1132
01:02:46.239 --> 01:02:47.079
Number did you call?

1133
01:02:47.559 --> 01:02:49.280
I didn't call any number they called me.

1134
01:02:49.719 --> 01:02:51.199
Do you know the other body's number?

1135
01:02:51.360 --> 01:02:51.400
No?

1136
01:02:51.519 --> 01:02:51.840
I don't.

1137
01:02:51.880 --> 01:02:53.480
That's why I asked you to trace the call.

1138
01:02:53.599 --> 01:02:54.199
Please hurry.

1139
01:02:54.280 --> 01:02:57.000
There is no one connected with your number now I know.

1140
01:02:57.280 --> 01:02:59.039
I know they hung up. Can't you hurry?

1141
01:02:59.039 --> 01:03:01.159
I want to trace the call was connected with his phone?

1142
01:03:01.239 --> 01:03:04.079
Please, I'm sorry, But after the other party has hung up,

1143
01:03:04.119 --> 01:03:05.559
it's impossible to trace.

1144
01:03:05.400 --> 01:03:15.559
The call, so sure, I wonder, I wonder if my

1145
01:03:15.760 --> 01:03:16.440
hunch yet.

1146
01:03:20.559 --> 01:03:27.159
See mm.

1147
01:03:29.039 --> 01:03:32.840
Hello, hello, Barton, this is Reynolds.

1148
01:03:32.960 --> 01:03:34.599
What the deuce makes you call me at this time

1149
01:03:34.639 --> 01:03:38.159
of the night, Barton, Andrew Miller called.

1150
01:03:38.559 --> 01:03:42.280
He said, I haven't much time to live, Yes, and

1151
01:03:42.480 --> 01:03:44.960
I'm at my wits end. What can I do? He's

1152
01:03:45.039 --> 01:03:46.920
coming here, Ralph Blood knows what you do to me?

1153
01:03:47.440 --> 01:03:48.159
He's coming there.

1154
01:03:48.239 --> 01:03:49.119
Well, he just told me.

1155
01:03:51.079 --> 01:03:53.599
You can't take as much longer. Man, Why don't you

1156
01:03:53.719 --> 01:03:54.280
call the police?

1157
01:03:54.320 --> 01:03:56.039
So I've called the police a dozen times. I tell

1158
01:03:56.079 --> 01:03:57.280
you Miller's too private for them.

1159
01:03:57.519 --> 01:03:59.559
And there's only one thing to do. Get out.

1160
01:04:00.199 --> 01:04:01.159
Yes, but he followed me.

1161
01:04:01.360 --> 01:04:02.639
If he knows where, doesn't check me.

1162
01:04:03.159 --> 01:04:04.960
Look, it's out of the question for you to stay

1163
01:04:05.000 --> 01:04:07.239
there under the circumstances. I'll be over in the morning

1164
01:04:07.239 --> 01:04:08.800
and we'll go up to my cabin for a few days.

1165
01:04:09.079 --> 01:04:10.440
You've got to get a complete rest.

1166
01:04:10.800 --> 01:04:14.559
Yes, you're absolutely right, Ralpha, I've simply got ten.

1167
01:04:14.719 --> 01:04:17.960
Listen, there's someone tipping that guy off on your movements

1168
01:04:18.559 --> 01:04:21.519
this time. Make sure don't tell anyone where you're going.

1169
01:04:22.199 --> 01:04:24.800
Yes, yes, but what about Sally telling you're off on a.

1170
01:04:24.800 --> 01:04:25.760
Business trip or something.

1171
01:04:26.039 --> 01:04:26.519
Yeah, that's it.

1172
01:04:26.800 --> 01:04:29.760
The convention start tomorrow and see the city. If necessary.

1173
01:04:29.800 --> 01:04:31.000
You can call a later from the cabin.

1174
01:04:31.480 --> 01:04:33.079
Yeah yeah, all right, Ralph.

1175
01:04:33.199 --> 01:04:34.679
I'll pick you out in front of the signal station

1176
01:04:34.719 --> 01:04:36.599
at running in broad More tomorrow morning at eight right,

1177
01:04:37.280 --> 01:04:37.719
right right?

1178
01:04:47.599 --> 01:04:49.719
How much farther around? How about fourteen miles?

1179
01:04:50.280 --> 01:04:50.400
Hey?

1180
01:04:50.480 --> 01:04:54.199
They are hearts banging away again? Doctor said six thousand

1181
01:04:54.280 --> 01:04:55.079
feet was my limit.

1182
01:04:55.159 --> 01:04:57.280
You know, well, we'll stay pretty well under that point.

1183
01:04:57.360 --> 01:05:00.480
Oh goodness, by look at that view. You can see

1184
01:05:00.480 --> 01:05:01.119
you all the way back to.

1185
01:05:02.800 --> 01:05:03.519
What's the matter?

1186
01:05:03.960 --> 01:05:08.119
So that's strange. There's that car again. You don't suppose

1187
01:05:08.159 --> 01:05:08.880
he's following.

1188
01:05:08.679 --> 01:05:08.960
Us to you?

1189
01:05:09.960 --> 01:05:12.159
Probably one of the natives. I don't know.

1190
01:05:13.199 --> 01:05:16.039
Wait a minute, you don't think no.

1191
01:05:16.119 --> 01:05:18.039
You're sure you didn't tell anyone where you were going.

1192
01:05:18.159 --> 01:05:20.920
But positive, I will have to call salilater though.

1193
01:05:21.039 --> 01:05:21.440
Yeah sure.

1194
01:05:23.320 --> 01:05:25.280
Hey, here's the spot where I always stop. You can

1195
01:05:25.360 --> 01:05:27.760
get a good view clear back to the valley. How

1196
01:05:27.760 --> 01:05:29.079
about it drain.

1197
01:05:33.920 --> 01:05:41.320
This way? Yes, kind steeper? Better take it easy. There's

1198
01:05:41.360 --> 01:05:42.599
a level spot up here at the top.

1199
01:05:42.760 --> 01:05:45.960
Well, you go ahead, Ralph, I gotta watch myself in

1200
01:05:46.039 --> 01:05:51.880
this solitude. Get that hair you know there's what I needed.

1201
01:05:52.239 --> 01:05:55.000
Mountain air, sunshine, quiet.

1202
01:05:56.159 --> 01:05:57.760
Hey, where are you up here?

1203
01:05:58.280 --> 01:05:58.519
Come on?

1204
01:05:58.800 --> 01:06:02.719
Huh is a real inspiration, Ralph? How'd you think of it?

1205
01:06:02.920 --> 01:06:06.320
You means's who I mean?

1206
01:06:06.400 --> 01:06:09.360
Getting away from everything like this when sniff of that

1207
01:06:09.400 --> 01:06:12.880
air and forgets you ever had any words? Look over here, hey,

1208
01:06:13.239 --> 01:06:15.880
not take it easy, kind of close to that edge,

1209
01:06:15.920 --> 01:06:19.519
you know, Look, Ben, fifteen hundred feet straight down.

1210
01:06:20.039 --> 01:06:22.280
Yeah, I'd just as soon stay back here.

1211
01:06:22.159 --> 01:06:22.800
If you don't mind.

1212
01:06:23.159 --> 01:06:24.880
So it might have been afraid, No.

1213
01:06:25.360 --> 01:06:28.119
Just sensible, I sow. You know, funny thing about me

1214
01:06:28.199 --> 01:06:30.719
in high places. It seems to ought to be afraid. Ben,

1215
01:06:31.760 --> 01:06:36.000
that's where you're going. Fifteen hundred feet straight down.

1216
01:06:37.320 --> 01:06:39.119
But that's good.

1217
01:06:39.239 --> 01:06:46.079
Fifty You're you're serious, aren't you. I'd hate to have

1218
01:06:46.239 --> 01:06:50.239
you call in the auditors. Ben, I was afraid that

1219
01:06:50.440 --> 01:06:54.440
was it. There was something wrong with those figures, Yes

1220
01:06:54.599 --> 01:06:55.000
there was.

1221
01:06:56.039 --> 01:06:59.679
But I learned something from Andy Miller. You're not going

1222
01:06:59.760 --> 01:07:03.119
to be around to testify. You're going to have a

1223
01:07:03.239 --> 01:07:08.639
dizzy spell, and they're going to find you fifteen hundred

1224
01:07:08.800 --> 01:07:12.599
feet down there on those rocks. Smooth.

1225
01:07:20.480 --> 01:07:22.480
The whistler will return in just a moment with a

1226
01:07:22.559 --> 01:07:27.679
strange ending to tonight's story. Meantime, here's news about one

1227
01:07:27.719 --> 01:07:29.719
of the first of the new post war developments to

1228
01:07:29.800 --> 01:07:33.519
make driving safer and more RESTful. You know how our

1229
01:07:33.599 --> 01:07:37.280
bright western sunshine glares off pavements and off the windshields

1230
01:07:37.280 --> 01:07:40.719
and polysh chromium of other cars, causing eyestrain. It makes

1231
01:07:40.760 --> 01:07:44.320
you squint and get headaches. Well, during the war, the

1232
01:07:44.519 --> 01:07:47.199
Army and Navy used a new principle of glare control.

1233
01:07:47.719 --> 01:07:51.800
It's called polaroid, and unlike old fashioned colored filters that

1234
01:07:51.920 --> 01:07:54.599
dockned everything and changed the colors of flowers and scenery,

1235
01:07:55.039 --> 01:07:58.000
polaroid is as clear and colorless as your own windshield.

1236
01:07:58.559 --> 01:08:01.920
But look through the polaroid and presto, all glare is gone.

1237
01:08:03.000 --> 01:08:06.480
Now here's the good news. This same polaroid principle has

1238
01:08:06.519 --> 01:08:09.440
been made into a visor for your car and therefore

1239
01:08:09.480 --> 01:08:12.079
sale for the first time on the Pacific Coast at

1240
01:08:12.119 --> 01:08:15.960
your signal dealers. The polaroid visor snaps onto your present

1241
01:08:16.079 --> 01:08:18.760
visor in a jiffy. It's smart looking, and it flips

1242
01:08:18.800 --> 01:08:21.079
out of the way when you're not using it. If

1243
01:08:21.119 --> 01:08:24.399
it's sunny tomorrow, drive into your signal dealers for a demonstration.

1244
01:08:24.840 --> 01:08:26.760
When you see the wear and tear it saves on

1245
01:08:26.840 --> 01:08:27.359
your eyes.

1246
01:08:27.840 --> 01:08:29.560
My bed is you want to buy one of these

1247
01:08:29.640 --> 01:08:33.760
polaroid visors now to make your summer driving more pleasant.

1248
01:08:35.079 --> 01:08:37.279
And now back to the whistler.

1249
01:08:49.640 --> 01:08:53.079
Well, Benjamin, you seem to be in a tight spot,

1250
01:08:54.279 --> 01:08:56.319
just the two of you there alone at the top

1251
01:08:56.359 --> 01:09:00.399
of the cliff button staring at your white face tense,

1252
01:09:00.720 --> 01:09:04.600
his fists clenched at his sides, and oddly you find

1253
01:09:04.680 --> 01:09:08.239
yourself struggling to keep the smile inside you from showing

1254
01:09:08.279 --> 01:09:12.279
on your face. It's probably only a few seconds, but

1255
01:09:12.439 --> 01:09:14.000
it seems like an hour that the two of you

1256
01:09:14.119 --> 01:09:15.119
stand there silent.

1257
01:09:15.880 --> 01:09:23.359
Then listen, Ralph, hear that the car. Yes, they won't stop,

1258
01:09:23.680 --> 01:09:25.720
Sure he will. That's what they came for.

1259
01:09:26.000 --> 01:09:28.239
What do you mean there's a detective and two patrolmen

1260
01:09:28.279 --> 01:09:30.159
in the car, Ralph, They followed us all the way

1261
01:09:30.199 --> 01:09:30.560
from town.

1262
01:09:30.640 --> 01:09:31.199
You're lying.

1263
01:09:31.359 --> 01:09:34.920
You'd better restrain yourself for a minute and see. Of course,

1264
01:09:35.000 --> 01:09:37.720
you could put it off now if you wanted to, Ralph.

1265
01:09:38.479 --> 01:09:41.760
But it be kind of foolish, wouldn't it. The embezzlement charge.

1266
01:09:41.600 --> 01:09:44.079
Will put you away for only four or five years,

1267
01:09:44.359 --> 01:09:46.159
with perhaps a few more for attempted murder.

1268
01:09:46.279 --> 01:09:48.439
But if you go ahead, and how did you know?

1269
01:09:50.000 --> 01:09:50.680
You did it again?

1270
01:09:52.680 --> 01:09:54.920
That it's a habit of yours, Ralph.

1271
01:09:55.399 --> 01:09:57.800
Every time you're about to say something important, you clear

1272
01:09:57.840 --> 01:10:01.960
your throat like that. That's why it hit me between

1273
01:10:01.960 --> 01:10:04.039
the eyes last night when you called me and said,

1274
01:10:06.000 --> 01:10:06.920
I'm gonna get you.

1275
01:10:07.520 --> 01:10:07.960
Remember.

1276
01:10:09.680 --> 01:10:13.079
Come on, Ralph, let's walk down to the road. We'll

1277
01:10:13.119 --> 01:10:15.079
save the policeman a few steps.

1278
01:10:45.359 --> 01:10:47.520
Next Monday, at nine o'clock, the Whistler will bring you

1279
01:10:47.600 --> 01:10:51.840
another strange tale. The Whistler is broadcast for your entertainment

1280
01:10:51.920 --> 01:10:54.960
by the marketers of signal gasoline and motor oil and

1281
01:10:55.159 --> 01:10:59.479
fine quality automotive accessories, and by your neighborhood signal dealer.

1282
01:11:00.640 --> 01:11:03.920
This program, produced by George w Allen, with tonight's story

1283
01:11:04.000 --> 01:11:07.880
by Walter Jensen, music by Wilbur Hatch, is transmitted to

1284
01:11:07.960 --> 01:11:10.680
our troops overseas by the Armed Forces Radio Service.

1285
01:11:28.359 --> 01:11:29.960
That whistle is.

1286
01:11:30.039 --> 01:11:34.439
Your signal for the Signal Oil program the Whistlers. This

1287
01:11:34.600 --> 01:11:37.000
is Marvin Miller speaking, reminding you to look for those

1288
01:11:37.079 --> 01:11:41.319
familiar yellow and black circle signs that identify those popular

1289
01:11:41.439 --> 01:11:45.960
signal oil stations in seven western states from Canada to Mexico.

1290
01:11:49.239 --> 01:11:52.439
This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.

1291
01:12:06.199 --> 01:12:11.199
Now that you're feeling a bit more keyed up, which

1292
01:12:11.279 --> 01:12:14.960
is a strange thing to imagine. I mean, you're here

1293
01:12:15.079 --> 01:12:21.560
to relax lean into the night, yet our favorite ways

1294
01:12:22.800 --> 01:12:29.920
are through fear. Well, I suppose humans are very complicated creatures,

1295
01:12:30.079 --> 01:12:36.039
but still it does seem a bit odd. What's that?

1296
01:12:36.920 --> 01:12:37.079
Oh?

1297
01:12:37.960 --> 01:12:41.520
Heavens know, I don't know that there's much more healthy

1298
01:12:41.720 --> 01:12:48.159
than enjoying affright in a safe place, at least a

1299
01:12:48.319 --> 01:12:54.640
place you believe is safe. I say we kick back,

1300
01:12:54.800 --> 01:12:58.920
relax and voyage through the Darkness.

1301
01:13:00.920 --> 01:13:03.880
Now, Roma Winds present.

1302
01:13:13.279 --> 01:13:23.960
Suspense tonight Voyage through Darkness, starring Olivia de Haviln and

1303
01:13:24.199 --> 01:13:32.159
Reginald Gardner. Suspense is presented for your enjoyment by Roma Wines.

1304
01:13:32.600 --> 01:13:35.039
That's our m a Roma.

1305
01:13:34.880 --> 01:13:38.760
Winds, those excellent California wines that can add so much

1306
01:13:38.800 --> 01:13:41.680
pleasantness to the way you live, to your happiness and

1307
01:13:41.840 --> 01:13:47.000
entertaining guests to your enjoyment of everyday meals Yes, right

1308
01:13:47.079 --> 01:13:50.680
now a glassfel would be very pleasant as Roma Winds

1309
01:13:50.760 --> 01:14:00.199
bring you suspense. This is the man in Black here

1310
01:14:00.239 --> 01:14:04.279
for the Roma Wine Company of Presno, California. The Night

1311
01:14:04.319 --> 01:14:07.399
from Hollywood will bring you the distinguished American leading lady

1312
01:14:07.479 --> 01:14:11.760
of the screen, Miss Olivia de Havelen. Mister Haveland appears

1313
01:14:11.800 --> 01:14:15.800
as a girl named Judith Webster who found herself embarked

1314
01:14:15.840 --> 01:14:19.640
upon a journey into darkness. Traveling with her on this

1315
01:14:19.800 --> 01:14:23.279
perilous voyage is that suave and debonair actor.

1316
01:14:23.159 --> 01:14:24.359
Mister Reginald Gardner.

1317
01:14:25.520 --> 01:14:28.520
So with the performances of mister Haveland and mister Gardner

1318
01:14:28.880 --> 01:14:32.000
in the Sea Going Adventure play, we again hope to

1319
01:14:32.119 --> 01:14:34.039
keep you in suspense.

1320
01:14:45.159 --> 01:14:49.319
It happened in nineteen thirty nine, shortly before England and

1321
01:14:49.479 --> 01:14:53.640
Germany were at war. I was in London serving as

1322
01:14:53.720 --> 01:14:58.680
traveling companion missus Edna Prescott, a wealthy, quite elderly American woman,

1323
01:15:00.039 --> 01:15:04.039
isn't a pleasant person, and the city's practiced blackouts were a.

1324
01:15:04.039 --> 01:15:06.000
Particular source of annoyance to her.

1325
01:15:06.039 --> 01:15:09.239
I remember thinking how ironic it was that she should

1326
01:15:09.319 --> 01:15:13.399
die during one of them. I even thought it because

1327
01:15:14.359 --> 01:15:16.880
until the doctors assured me her death was due to

1328
01:15:16.960 --> 01:15:18.119
a common heart ailment.

1329
01:15:18.560 --> 01:15:19.760
I was very busy for the.

1330
01:15:19.840 --> 01:15:23.199
Next few days, arranging passage to America, getting my train

1331
01:15:23.319 --> 01:15:27.920
ticket down to Southampton, and and carrying out the promise

1332
01:15:27.960 --> 01:15:29.840
I had made so many times.

1333
01:15:29.600 --> 01:15:30.560
To missus Prescott.

1334
01:15:30.880 --> 01:15:33.239
I didn't relish any part of that.

1335
01:15:34.199 --> 01:15:35.640
This webster and this webster.

1336
01:15:35.680 --> 01:15:38.439
Oh, yes, yes, yes, the young woman who's escorting the casket.

1337
01:15:38.800 --> 01:15:42.439
Oh here's your ticket a gate fire please, we'll praise.

1338
01:15:42.640 --> 01:15:44.279
But this.

1339
01:15:46.840 --> 01:15:50.239
The young woman who's escorting the casket. He said it

1340
01:15:50.359 --> 01:15:54.000
so so matter of factly, as if such things occurred

1341
01:15:54.039 --> 01:15:54.479
every day.

1342
01:15:55.560 --> 01:15:56.359
I suppose they do.

1343
01:15:57.680 --> 01:16:03.439
Yet minute on that train I felt uncomfortable on edge.

1344
01:16:03.840 --> 01:16:06.800
It seemed as if the trip to Southampton and the

1345
01:16:06.840 --> 01:16:07.800
steamer docks.

1346
01:16:07.600 --> 01:16:08.479
Would never end.

1347
01:16:10.680 --> 01:16:13.680
I remember how glad I was when it did, and

1348
01:16:13.800 --> 01:16:16.079
how cheerful Stewart's.

1349
01:16:15.600 --> 01:16:17.880
Voice sounded as he greeted me at the head of

1350
01:16:17.920 --> 01:16:18.520
the gang way.

1351
01:16:18.640 --> 01:16:22.600
Good evening, miss, welcome aboard. May I show you here, Kevin?

1352
01:16:23.479 --> 01:16:25.640
Please do, Stewart, I'm very tired.

1353
01:16:26.199 --> 01:16:35.239
Twelve are b dick this way? Miss? I hope they

1354
01:16:35.359 --> 01:16:36.079
get him all right?

1355
01:16:36.199 --> 01:16:38.239
Miss h get who.

1356
01:16:41.319 --> 01:16:41.560
Boy?

1357
01:16:41.640 --> 01:16:44.720
That black eyed killer? Please have a new claw on him,

1358
01:16:44.720 --> 01:16:45.399
he says.

1359
01:16:45.600 --> 01:16:48.720
Oh, oh, yes, an awesome thing.

1360
01:16:49.880 --> 01:16:52.880
Ah, here we are, Miss twelve. Ay you have it

1361
01:16:53.039 --> 01:16:53.960
all yourself.

1362
01:16:54.119 --> 01:16:57.600
Thank you, Stewart. Oh I'm sorry here you are.

1363
01:16:57.840 --> 01:17:00.720
Oh it's quite all right, miss faint, and good night,

1364
01:17:01.000 --> 01:17:03.279
and told me if you need me, good.

1365
01:17:03.239 --> 01:17:09.479
Night in my state room, perfectly safe. I realized how

1366
01:17:09.600 --> 01:17:15.159
gitry I've been, how upset, and now how relieved. Suddenly

1367
01:17:15.239 --> 01:17:18.119
I began to laugh right out loud. My fears had

1368
01:17:18.159 --> 01:17:38.199
been so foolish, so very foolish. An hour later, I

1369
01:17:38.279 --> 01:17:41.960
went out on deck. I no longer felt tired, and

1370
01:17:42.079 --> 01:17:45.199
I wanted to watch the lights of the coastline fading

1371
01:17:45.279 --> 01:17:48.720
away from us. I was standing near the art rail,

1372
01:17:48.880 --> 01:17:51.479
quietly looking out across the water when.

1373
01:17:52.640 --> 01:17:57.880
He first spoke, beautiful, isn't it. Oh, I'm sorry. Did

1374
01:17:57.880 --> 01:17:58.479
I frighten you?

1375
01:17:59.399 --> 01:18:02.399
Yes, yes you did. I didn't realize there was anyone

1376
01:18:02.479 --> 01:18:03.239
near that life boat.

1377
01:18:03.560 --> 01:18:06.199
Hell, I'm sorry. I was sure you saw me. I

1378
01:18:06.279 --> 01:18:06.720
never would have.

1379
01:18:06.760 --> 01:18:10.039
Well, it's all right, really, i've been nervous tonight anyway,

1380
01:18:10.119 --> 01:18:10.800
I am.

1381
01:18:10.760 --> 01:18:11.720
Not always he jumpy.

1382
01:18:13.039 --> 01:18:14.880
What you need is an ocean voyd.

1383
01:18:16.520 --> 01:18:17.119
Maybe that's it.

1384
01:18:17.720 --> 01:18:19.479
Were you watching the shore lights?

1385
01:18:19.720 --> 01:18:19.920
Yes?

1386
01:18:20.079 --> 01:18:21.960
And I never did answer your question.

1387
01:18:22.079 --> 01:18:26.039
They are beautiful, very and the sea alone is beautiful.

1388
01:18:26.680 --> 01:18:29.680
She has moods, you know, just like a woman, gentle

1389
01:18:29.840 --> 01:18:33.359
sometimes and soothing and suddenly flying into a rage and

1390
01:18:33.479 --> 01:18:34.960
dashing things to pieces.

1391
01:18:34.680 --> 01:18:36.279
And then fighting right down again.

1392
01:18:36.560 --> 01:18:39.239
That's right, I see we feel the same about her.

1393
01:18:39.960 --> 01:18:44.399
Does she frighten you sometimes the same way women frighten me?

1394
01:18:44.600 --> 01:18:47.720
Oh, I mean when I don't understand them.

1395
01:18:47.800 --> 01:18:50.000
Well, I thought it was the general male consensus that

1396
01:18:50.119 --> 01:18:51.399
we weren't supposed.

1397
01:18:50.960 --> 01:18:54.399
To be understood, only loved. Isn't that the rest of it?

1398
01:18:54.479 --> 01:18:57.600
It's something like that anyway. It's a philosophy I disagree with.

1399
01:18:57.920 --> 01:18:58.760
That's refreshing.

1400
01:18:59.079 --> 01:19:01.520
Ah, the lady is mused.

1401
01:19:01.640 --> 01:19:05.039
Not at all. It's just that the lady detects.

1402
01:19:04.680 --> 01:19:08.199
A bachelor because I have a mind of my own.

1403
01:19:09.359 --> 01:19:10.319
That's one good too.

1404
01:19:11.279 --> 01:19:13.000
Listen to me, I'll let singing to you as if

1405
01:19:14.000 --> 01:19:16.119
I believe i'mit, have tried to ends up as if

1406
01:19:16.159 --> 01:19:17.359
I'd known you all my life.

1407
01:19:17.840 --> 01:19:20.399
Wait a minute, there's another which makes it perfectly all right.

1408
01:19:20.920 --> 01:19:27.399
It's that the shipboard friendships last forever business. However, my

1409
01:19:27.600 --> 01:19:34.880
name is Alan Bruce, yours Judith Webster, miss or myth good. Well,

1410
01:19:35.079 --> 01:19:38.560
we got through that quite nicely. You suppose we could

1411
01:19:38.600 --> 01:19:41.119
get through a dance. There's music in the sonle.

1412
01:19:41.600 --> 01:19:45.760
Well, there's no longer any view of the shorelight. However,

1413
01:19:45.880 --> 01:19:47.920
you did say the sea alone was beautiful.

1414
01:19:48.199 --> 01:19:51.279
II was so wrong. There's nothing as monotonous as all

1415
01:19:51.359 --> 01:19:51.760
that water.

1416
01:19:52.399 --> 01:19:54.319
It is kind of sad.

1417
01:19:54.479 --> 01:19:57.880
Yes, well, let's trade it for Champagne. Shall we be believe?

1418
01:19:57.920 --> 01:20:01.279
In a minute? Where are you going over here? I

1419
01:20:01.399 --> 01:20:03.079
wanted to do the skipper a little favor.

1420
01:20:03.920 --> 01:20:04.319
What is it?

1421
01:20:04.680 --> 01:20:04.800
Oh?

1422
01:20:04.920 --> 01:20:08.239
Oh, the lifeboat cover? How did that ever get so loose?

1423
01:20:08.560 --> 01:20:10.640
I don't know.

1424
01:20:10.840 --> 01:20:15.760
I I noticed it a while back there, Well, that

1425
01:20:15.840 --> 01:20:16.279
should do it?

1426
01:20:17.399 --> 01:20:17.960
Strange.

1427
01:20:19.119 --> 01:20:21.920
It was almost as if, oh, no, what are you

1428
01:20:22.039 --> 01:20:22.520
going to say?

1429
01:20:23.399 --> 01:20:23.560
Well?

1430
01:20:23.600 --> 01:20:26.520
I was going to get melodramatic and suggest that someone

1431
01:20:26.600 --> 01:20:27.720
might have been hiding there.

1432
01:20:29.199 --> 01:20:30.159
You mean a stowaway?

1433
01:20:30.680 --> 01:20:32.520
Yes, well, of course it's silly.

1434
01:20:33.359 --> 01:20:38.159
I wouldn't say so. You're joking, not at all. It's

1435
01:20:38.239 --> 01:20:41.239
quite possible someone could have slipped on board and hid

1436
01:20:41.319 --> 01:20:45.239
in that boat. That's why I think we shouldn't mention

1437
01:20:45.439 --> 01:20:50.119
this to anyone, what but only cause and alarm.

1438
01:20:51.119 --> 01:20:51.840
But I don't.

1439
01:20:51.720 --> 01:20:56.560
Understand you really think there might have been someone someone.

1440
01:21:02.680 --> 01:21:05.720
I shall never forget that moment and the thoughts which

1441
01:21:05.760 --> 01:21:09.439
went racing through my mind by my nervousness on the train,

1442
01:21:09.520 --> 01:21:13.960
those horrible headlines about about the blackout killer, that newsboy

1443
01:21:14.199 --> 01:21:18.479
shouted an hour before Alan's strange attitude about the lifeboat,

1444
01:21:18.680 --> 01:21:21.479
the whole unpleasant nature of this voyage, and I promised

1445
01:21:21.479 --> 01:21:25.520
to missus Prescott. I wanted to turn and run, wanted

1446
01:21:25.560 --> 01:21:30.039
to cry out, but somehow I couldn't. If it looked

1447
01:21:30.119 --> 01:21:33.239
like a dream when you when you can't move.

1448
01:21:34.119 --> 01:21:37.520
And then the darkness was swept away, and I was

1449
01:21:37.560 --> 01:21:38.520
no longer dreaming.

1450
01:21:38.720 --> 01:21:39.000
I was.

1451
01:21:39.680 --> 01:21:41.760
I was in Alan's arms, dancing there.

1452
01:21:41.800 --> 01:21:44.920
Was There were laughing, care free people all about us,

1453
01:21:44.960 --> 01:21:47.479
and the ships set all was so bright and friendly.

1454
01:21:48.079 --> 01:21:50.800
I was ashamed for even thinking there might have been

1455
01:21:50.880 --> 01:21:51.560
anything wrong.

1456
01:21:56.760 --> 01:21:59.159
Had enough they just brought out champagne.

1457
01:21:59.439 --> 01:22:01.720
Well in that case, yes, I'd about giving up.

1458
01:22:02.039 --> 01:22:03.520
Well a fine way to talk about my dan.

1459
01:22:03.760 --> 01:22:05.199
You know perfectly well what I mean?

1460
01:22:05.520 --> 01:22:11.119
All right, let him go, waiter, right, you answer there,

1461
01:22:11.199 --> 01:22:14.319
We are all right, thank you, waiter. That'll be all?

1462
01:22:14.720 --> 01:22:17.159
Yes, Oh that does look good?

1463
01:22:17.439 --> 01:22:21.520
And is well what should we talked to? Shipboard friendship?

1464
01:22:21.640 --> 01:22:22.840
Shipboard friendship?

1465
01:22:23.319 --> 01:22:23.520
You know?

1466
01:22:23.680 --> 01:22:25.399
I what is it?

1467
01:22:26.399 --> 01:22:26.960
Something wrong?

1468
01:22:27.600 --> 01:22:29.680
No, im nothing at all? Just thought I saw some

1469
01:22:29.840 --> 01:22:32.439
and I will excuse me a moment. Well, of course

1470
01:22:32.600 --> 01:22:33.239
I won't be long.

1471
01:22:35.479 --> 01:22:38.239
It would be all right, Oh excuse me, miss, But

1472
01:22:38.399 --> 01:22:40.840
the gentleman he dropped this billfold.

1473
01:22:41.079 --> 01:22:43.079
Oh thank you, waiter, I didn't notice. Would you just

1474
01:22:43.199 --> 01:22:44.199
leave it there on the table?

1475
01:22:44.520 --> 01:22:45.720
Very good miss, the day you are.

1476
01:22:48.000 --> 01:22:50.640
The billfold fell open as the waiter placed it on

1477
01:22:50.760 --> 01:22:54.159
the table. I couldn't take my eyes from it. There

1478
01:22:54.239 --> 01:22:58.479
was an identification card in plain sight. The name on

1479
01:22:58.600 --> 01:23:04.600
the card it was not Alan Bruce, it was Charles Drew.

1480
01:23:13.840 --> 01:23:16.680
Sorry to a runof that way. I never should have

1481
01:23:17.159 --> 01:23:20.239
didn't know the fellow at all. Say you you haven't

1482
01:23:20.279 --> 01:23:22.479
touched your champagne. You'll you'll let all the kick go

1483
01:23:22.560 --> 01:23:22.840
out of it?

1484
01:23:22.960 --> 01:23:25.199
You, i'm a said, all the kick has gone out

1485
01:23:25.239 --> 01:23:25.359
of it.

1486
01:23:25.600 --> 01:23:29.000
Well, we'll soon take care of it. Oh my phill phone?

1487
01:23:29.479 --> 01:23:30.199
Where did you find it?

1488
01:23:30.439 --> 01:23:32.119
It was on the floor the way to pick it up?

1489
01:23:32.680 --> 01:23:35.640
The waiter did he look at it? No, Well he

1490
01:23:36.000 --> 01:23:38.960
found an honest man, Eh have to remember him.

1491
01:23:39.640 --> 01:23:41.399
Hadn't you better look to see if you found an

1492
01:23:41.399 --> 01:23:42.000
honest woman.

1493
01:23:43.039 --> 01:23:44.800
I'll take a chance and my honesty.

1494
01:23:44.920 --> 01:23:46.800
Yes, what about a woman's curiosity?

1495
01:23:46.920 --> 01:23:47.279
He wrote?

1496
01:23:47.479 --> 01:23:47.600
Oh?

1497
01:23:47.720 --> 01:23:51.960
I see well now you know well I must stay

1498
01:23:52.000 --> 01:23:54.920
more careful of my things in future. But you know,

1499
01:23:55.119 --> 01:23:59.720
I'm sure you wouldn't tell anyone anything. No, no, I

1500
01:23:59.800 --> 01:24:01.479
knew from the very first, so I can trust you.

1501
01:24:01.960 --> 01:24:02.640
It's interesting.

1502
01:24:03.840 --> 01:24:08.640
Stuck your music? What's up? Sure?

1503
01:24:08.960 --> 01:24:14.479
Then I can't show everybody everybody the first off, internets.

1504
01:24:14.479 --> 01:24:15.279
Something to say to.

1505
01:24:15.359 --> 01:24:17.680
Usk, ladies and gentlemen.

1506
01:24:18.199 --> 01:24:20.239
I'm sorry to break in on your dancing this way,

1507
01:24:20.319 --> 01:24:23.439
but I assure this won't take long. You've just received

1508
01:24:23.439 --> 01:24:26.960
a radiogram from London and I must ask your cooperation

1509
01:24:27.399 --> 01:24:28.279
something important.

1510
01:24:28.880 --> 01:24:29.079
War.

1511
01:24:29.840 --> 01:24:31.079
Oh no, no, it isn't war.

1512
01:24:31.479 --> 01:24:32.800
Nothing nearly as alarming as that.

1513
01:24:33.479 --> 01:24:36.640
However, the London police suspect that we're carrying a stowaway,

1514
01:24:37.199 --> 01:24:39.359
and they've asked us to make a thorough search of

1515
01:24:39.439 --> 01:24:40.840
the ship and report fact to them.

1516
01:24:41.720 --> 01:24:42.079
Criminal.

1517
01:24:46.840 --> 01:24:49.640
No, wait, wait a moment, fees, Ladies and gentlemen. It

1518
01:24:49.840 --> 01:24:53.079
won't help you get excited. The ship is being searched.

1519
01:24:53.199 --> 01:24:55.800
You'll never get off. All we ask is that you

1520
01:24:56.000 --> 01:24:57.000
keep your cabins.

1521
01:24:57.079 --> 01:24:57.279
Luck.

1522
01:25:00.359 --> 01:25:01.960
I was afraid this might happen.

1523
01:25:02.479 --> 01:25:04.359
How long did you expect to keep it from them?

1524
01:25:04.560 --> 01:25:04.920
Actually?

1525
01:25:04.960 --> 01:25:09.039
I was hoping they'd never Judah, but Judith, what's wrong?

1526
01:25:09.520 --> 01:25:11.840
Where are you going? What's the devil?

1527
01:25:12.560 --> 01:25:12.760
See?

1528
01:25:12.800 --> 01:25:13.279
What's the matter?

1529
01:25:13.399 --> 01:25:14.439
Hasn't she run out on you?

1530
01:25:14.640 --> 01:25:15.640
Please let me through, will you?

1531
01:25:15.960 --> 01:25:16.359
Okay?

1532
01:25:16.560 --> 01:25:18.600
Sure, go do it, mister, Don't let her get away.

1533
01:25:19.079 --> 01:25:21.439
You know, maybe she thinks that you're the blackout killer.

1534
01:25:32.079 --> 01:25:33.119
Night for suspense.

1535
01:25:33.279 --> 01:25:36.800
Roma wines are bringing you Olivia de Havilyn and Reginald Gardener.

1536
01:25:37.239 --> 01:25:39.439
You have heard them in the first act of Voyage

1537
01:25:39.479 --> 01:25:44.079
through Darkness by Joel Malowe, The Nice Tale of a Spence.

1538
01:25:54.399 --> 01:25:57.800
It is a fact that connoisseurs of many foreign lands

1539
01:25:57.840 --> 01:26:02.359
have discovered the excellence of romaines the greatness of California's

1540
01:26:02.399 --> 01:26:04.199
wine country from which Roma comes.

1541
01:26:05.000 --> 01:26:07.319
But millions of Americans also know these.

1542
01:26:07.279 --> 01:26:11.199
Things and have made Roma by far the most popular,

1543
01:26:11.359 --> 01:26:15.880
the largest selling of all America's wines. Here at home,

1544
01:26:16.359 --> 01:26:20.119
Roma wines are truly inexpensive. For only pennies a glass,

1545
01:26:20.239 --> 01:26:23.479

table with dinner tomorrow a well chilled bottle of hearty ruby.

1551
01:26:45.000 --> 01:26:48.600
Read Roma California Burgundy. Don't worry about what the meal

1552
01:26:48.760 --> 01:26:51.880
is or what glasses you have handy. You'll be delightfully

How Roma wine makes even the simplest meal a feast.

1555
01:27:00.039 --> 01:27:04.279
Enjoy Roma wines anytime with meals, when entertaining. It's the

1556
01:27:04.399 --> 01:27:06.800
easy and expensive way to make a big hit with

1557
01:27:06.920 --> 01:27:10.439
guests and with the family. Be sure to ask your

1558
01:27:10.520 --> 01:27:17.399
dealer for RMA Roma wines made in California, or enjoyment

1559
01:27:18.000 --> 01:27:25.359
throughout the world. And now it is with pleasure that

1560
01:27:25.479 --> 01:27:28.800
we bring back to our soundstage, Miss Olivia de Haviland

1561
01:27:29.079 --> 01:27:33.600
and mister Reginald Gardner as they continue voyage through Darkness,

1562
01:27:34.119 --> 01:27:37.840
a tale well calculated to keep you in suspense.

1563
01:27:50.680 --> 01:27:53.119
I'll never know why I left the dining salon without

1564
01:27:53.199 --> 01:27:55.680
telling him. Certainly they could no longer be any doubt.

1565
01:27:55.720 --> 01:27:58.239
It was all too clear that loose canvas covering on

1566
01:27:58.359 --> 01:28:00.960
the lifeboat, the way he'd been standing there, even the

1567
01:28:01.079 --> 01:28:03.199
name he had given me, Alan Bruce.

1568
01:28:03.640 --> 01:28:06.000
I saw it later on the regular passenger list.

1569
01:28:06.359 --> 01:28:09.279
He must have killed Bruce and thrown him overboard, taking

1570
01:28:09.359 --> 01:28:11.960
not only his name, but his stateroom and clothes.

1571
01:28:12.600 --> 01:28:16.920
It was also so fantastic, worse.

1572
01:28:16.800 --> 01:28:20.800
Than anything else. I had almost fallen in love with him.

1573
01:28:21.600 --> 01:28:24.319
He knew that, I'm certain it was why he was

1574
01:28:24.359 --> 01:28:25.439
so confident.

1575
01:28:25.119 --> 01:28:29.079
That I wouldn't tell anyone, and I didn't, not even

1576
01:28:29.159 --> 01:28:32.800
when I spoke to the first officer about my promise

1577
01:28:32.840 --> 01:28:37.359
to missus Prescott, I wanted to tell him somehow.

1578
01:28:40.560 --> 01:28:43.000
I'll arrange it for early tomorrow morning, and most of

1579
01:28:43.039 --> 01:28:44.840
the passengers will be asleep, thank you.

1580
01:28:45.399 --> 01:28:51.720
I I suppose it's rather unusual, but then missus Prescott

1581
01:28:52.000 --> 01:28:53.039
was an unusual woman.

1582
01:28:54.439 --> 01:28:58.199
I hadn't conducted a burial at sea since the last war. However,

1583
01:28:58.239 --> 01:29:01.239
I'm nothing entirely unprepared. The company officials spoke to me

1584
01:29:01.279 --> 01:29:04.800
about this before sailing, and well, now don't you worry,

1585
01:29:04.840 --> 01:29:05.359
miss Webster.

1586
01:29:05.920 --> 01:29:08.319
The ceremony will be quite in order. I assure you.

1587
01:29:08.880 --> 01:29:10.520
Thank you, I'll meet you for day.

1588
01:29:18.319 --> 01:29:20.920
I wish you hadn't done that. Well, I'm sorry. I

1589
01:29:21.520 --> 01:29:22.880
if you have a habit of startling you.

1590
01:29:23.039 --> 01:29:26.039
What do you want? How long have you been standing there.

1591
01:29:26.039 --> 01:29:27.680
Long enough to overhear that conversation?

1592
01:29:28.039 --> 01:29:28.760
You had no right?

1593
01:29:29.640 --> 01:29:30.199
What are you doing?

1594
01:29:30.760 --> 01:29:33.000
Please? I know what you're going to say. I had

1595
01:29:33.039 --> 01:29:35.560
no right to be here or to listen. However, it's

1596
01:29:35.680 --> 01:29:36.560
fortunate that I did.

1597
01:29:36.800 --> 01:29:37.359
What do you mean?

1598
01:29:38.399 --> 01:29:40.920
I didn't know that it was missus Prescott's desire to

1599
01:29:40.960 --> 01:29:41.720
be bettered at sea.

1600
01:29:42.520 --> 01:29:44.920
No one knew it, but it was her last wish.

1601
01:29:44.960 --> 01:29:45.640
I promised her.

1602
01:29:45.920 --> 01:29:49.000
Would be carried out, and tomorrow morning you're keeping that promise.

1603
01:29:49.399 --> 01:29:53.720
Yes, And now, if you'll excuse me, I don't feel

1604
01:29:53.800 --> 01:29:54.119
very well.

1605
01:29:54.119 --> 01:29:58.159
I'd like wait, please, Judith. You've been avoiding me, haven't you.

1606
01:29:59.000 --> 01:29:59.479
Yes, I have.

1607
01:30:00.159 --> 01:30:03.600
I hope it's only because you've been upset about missus Prescott. Honey,

1608
01:30:04.520 --> 01:30:08.279
that's one reason I'm sorry. I I almost thought we

1609
01:30:08.359 --> 01:30:13.800
were beginning to well, to become very good friends. You

1610
01:30:13.920 --> 01:30:16.159
know you're the only person on board whom I can trust.

1611
01:30:16.760 --> 01:30:18.520
You're very sure about that, aren't you.

1612
01:30:18.760 --> 01:30:21.560
Of course, you know who I am and what I'm

1613
01:30:21.640 --> 01:30:23.960
doing on this ship, and yet you've told no one

1614
01:30:24.640 --> 01:30:27.199
I've wanted to. I know women were never meant to

1615
01:30:27.239 --> 01:30:30.439
keep secrets. However, I'm going to ask you to keep

1616
01:30:30.520 --> 01:30:31.039
one more.

1617
01:30:31.600 --> 01:30:32.159
I'd rather not.

1618
01:30:32.399 --> 01:30:35.840
Sorry, I must include you this time, you see, it

1619
01:30:36.000 --> 01:30:38.840
requires a change in your plans, so they will fit

1620
01:30:38.960 --> 01:30:39.640
in with mine.

1621
01:30:40.199 --> 01:30:41.600
I'm afraid I don't understand.

1622
01:30:42.000 --> 01:30:48.279
It's very simple. Judith. This may upset you, but I

1623
01:30:48.479 --> 01:30:51.560
must ask that you tell them that you've changed your mind,

1624
01:30:52.039 --> 01:30:55.039
that you don't want Missus Prescott buried at sea. What

1625
01:30:56.239 --> 01:30:58.680
you remember what they said, even if they couldn't find

1626
01:30:58.720 --> 01:31:02.000
the stowaway, he'd never get off the ship. Well, he

1627
01:31:02.960 --> 01:31:06.800
could get off very easily if you'd allow him to

1628
01:31:06.840 --> 01:31:09.960
take Missus Prescott's place in that casket?

1629
01:31:10.840 --> 01:31:12.159
What in that casket?

1630
01:31:12.520 --> 01:31:12.720
Yes?

1631
01:31:13.560 --> 01:31:17.760
Clever, eh, clever? Well, not every man would think of it,

1632
01:31:18.520 --> 01:31:21.760
simple as it may seem. Everyone searching the ship, questioning

1633
01:31:21.800 --> 01:31:24.720
each passenger, and all the while the man they were

1634
01:31:24.800 --> 01:31:28.680
seeking would be safe inside the casket. You would only

1635
01:31:28.760 --> 01:31:32.119
have to wait patiently and then be hoisted from the

1636
01:31:32.159 --> 01:31:35.239
ship's hold, lowered onto the pier, and whisked safely away

1637
01:31:35.279 --> 01:31:36.159
in a funeral car.

1638
01:31:37.319 --> 01:31:39.560
When he was discovered by the funeral attendance.

1639
01:31:39.720 --> 01:31:42.920
Oh, I'm sure they'd be so shocked that the dead

1640
01:31:43.079 --> 01:31:46.880
coming to life. He'd have little trouble in dot it stop.

1641
01:31:46.640 --> 01:31:50.199
At you here, If you haven't any respect to the dead, I'm.

1642
01:31:50.079 --> 01:31:53.960
Afraid I have, Oh, Missus Prescott, you mean I should

1643
01:31:53.960 --> 01:31:57.359
have told you that part of it. Her last wish

1644
01:31:57.520 --> 01:32:01.000
has already been carried out. You see, her body was

1645
01:32:01.119 --> 01:32:05.439
removed from the casket the night we sailed. Missus Prescott

1646
01:32:05.600 --> 01:32:07.159
is already very to see.

1647
01:32:11.239 --> 01:32:12.920
You've thought of everything, haven't you.

1648
01:32:13.800 --> 01:32:17.199
Yes, in my position, one must.

1649
01:32:28.760 --> 01:32:31.960
I remained in my cabin all that day and the

1650
01:32:32.119 --> 01:32:36.680
next I was afraid to see him again. I can't

1651
01:32:36.760 --> 01:32:39.960
explain the strange fascination he held over me.

1652
01:32:41.159 --> 01:32:41.960
I remember how.

1653
01:32:41.920 --> 01:32:43.800
Surprised the first officer looked when.

1654
01:32:43.720 --> 01:32:46.359
I told him I had changed my mind about burial.

1655
01:32:46.720 --> 01:32:48.760
It was as if he sensed the truth, as if

1656
01:32:48.800 --> 01:32:52.680
he knew Missus Prescott's body wasn't in the casket, that.

1657
01:32:52.800 --> 01:32:53.479
It was empty.

1658
01:32:54.560 --> 01:32:57.960
But of course it was only my imagination and my

1659
01:32:58.119 --> 01:33:01.159
sense of guilt for this terrible wrong I was doing.

1660
01:33:13.600 --> 01:33:15.840
When we sailed into New York car where I went

1661
01:33:15.880 --> 01:33:20.960
out on deck, he was standing there near the port rail.

1662
01:33:21.039 --> 01:33:23.039
I went up to him. He turned and smiled as

1663
01:33:23.079 --> 01:33:24.239
if he'd been expecting me.

1664
01:33:25.359 --> 01:33:28.800
Oh, there you are. I've missed you haven't been under

1665
01:33:28.800 --> 01:33:29.119
the weather.

1666
01:33:29.720 --> 01:33:31.399
No, I've been perfectly well.

1667
01:33:31.640 --> 01:33:35.119
You had me worried not showing up at dinner. You know,

1668
01:33:35.479 --> 01:33:38.880
I've come to depend on you. Yes, I know, I've

1669
01:33:38.920 --> 01:33:41.359
decided not to let you get away from me. After

1670
01:33:41.439 --> 01:33:42.880
this is all over, we must.

1671
01:33:44.279 --> 01:33:45.199
We haven't much time.

1672
01:33:45.479 --> 01:33:47.239
Oh that's right, this may not be easy.

1673
01:33:47.680 --> 01:33:48.279
Wish me luck.

1674
01:33:49.079 --> 01:33:50.720
Haven't I done more than that already?

1675
01:33:50.840 --> 01:33:55.520
Yes, of course, only I mean like this student.

1676
01:34:00.960 --> 01:34:03.079
As suddenly as he had taken me in his arms,

1677
01:34:03.119 --> 01:34:05.399
he released me, and I remained there by the rail

1678
01:34:05.439 --> 01:34:06.319
as he hurried away.

1679
01:34:06.800 --> 01:34:09.399
I watched as the ship moved on into the harbor

1680
01:34:09.479 --> 01:34:10.880
under the guidance of the tugboats.

1681
01:34:10.920 --> 01:34:13.119
With their shrill, insistent little whistles.

1682
01:34:13.680 --> 01:34:14.319
I listened to.

1683
01:34:16.600 --> 01:34:18.800
The shouts of the crew were long shoreman.

1684
01:34:19.920 --> 01:34:20.600
Soon we were.

1685
01:34:20.479 --> 01:34:25.960
Alongside the pier and the steward was shouting from the

1686
01:34:26.000 --> 01:34:26.920
head of the gangway.

1687
01:34:26.960 --> 01:34:28.760
And then then I.

1688
01:34:28.800 --> 01:34:36.399
Saw it, the casket. They were lowering it to the pier.

1689
01:34:37.079 --> 01:34:39.079
There was a car waiting, a long black car.

1690
01:34:39.199 --> 01:34:41.399
And suddenly I realized what I had done, What a

1691
01:34:41.479 --> 01:34:44.479
fool I had done, What a cowardly, frightened little fool.

1692
01:34:49.520 --> 01:34:53.359
Wait, stop them, don't let them take it, don't let them.

1693
01:34:54.760 --> 01:34:57.079
Wait. Please, you mustn't touch that casket.

1694
01:34:57.119 --> 01:34:57.960
There's something wrong.

1695
01:34:58.920 --> 01:34:59.760
Hey, what's the matter with you?

1696
01:35:00.159 --> 01:35:00.720
Get out of the way.

1697
01:35:00.720 --> 01:35:02.920
Well, but there's a man in there alive.

1698
01:35:03.399 --> 01:35:04.000
He's hiding.

1699
01:35:04.199 --> 01:35:06.800
Yeah, sure, hide and go seek. He's played in a coffin.

1700
01:35:07.000 --> 01:35:09.439
Go on, let him got work to do. Mammon, where

1701
01:35:09.439 --> 01:35:09.680
it all?

1702
01:35:10.399 --> 01:35:10.600
Pea?

1703
01:35:11.239 --> 01:35:13.840
Please, you must listen to me. If you won't call

1704
01:35:13.920 --> 01:35:15.520
the police, someone has got to stop him.

1705
01:35:15.560 --> 01:35:17.479
Hills, did I hear you call for the police.

1706
01:35:17.600 --> 01:35:17.720
Oh?

1707
01:35:17.840 --> 01:35:19.560
Yes, these men won't listen to me. But there's a

1708
01:35:20.640 --> 01:35:23.079
oh man hiding.

1709
01:35:22.880 --> 01:35:25.920
In this casket across there is. We put him in there, Judith,

1710
01:35:26.960 --> 01:35:27.720
what did you say?

1711
01:35:28.000 --> 01:35:30.560
I said we put him in there, or rather we

1712
01:35:30.720 --> 01:35:32.239
let him walk right into our trap.

1713
01:35:33.159 --> 01:35:36.159
Wait a minute, are you trying to tell me that

1714
01:35:36.279 --> 01:35:37.840
someone else inside that casket?

1715
01:35:38.399 --> 01:35:40.359
Well, surely you're not trying to say that you thought

1716
01:35:40.399 --> 01:35:41.039
I was in there?

1717
01:35:41.960 --> 01:35:42.439
Who else?

1718
01:35:42.920 --> 01:35:43.439
Who else?

1719
01:35:44.279 --> 01:35:44.439
Why?

1720
01:35:44.600 --> 01:35:45.520
The blackout killer?

1721
01:35:45.560 --> 01:35:45.960
Of course?

1722
01:35:46.600 --> 01:35:49.439
Then when he's getting away, you're letting him get away.

1723
01:35:50.560 --> 01:35:54.239
Those men know who's inside that castle, and they know

1724
01:35:54.359 --> 01:35:57.880
right where to take him. You, you know, Judith, for

1725
01:35:58.000 --> 01:36:01.279
someone who helped plan this entire thing, right, very strangely.

1726
01:36:01.399 --> 01:36:02.640
I'm acting strangely.

1727
01:36:02.920 --> 01:36:04.520
It's almost as if you didn't know who.

1728
01:36:04.439 --> 01:36:05.159
I am at all.

1729
01:36:06.199 --> 01:36:10.359
I don't what I said, I don't know you I

1730
01:36:10.800 --> 01:36:11.479
still don't.

1731
01:36:12.159 --> 01:36:15.239
But the night I dropped my billfold, I thought, surely.

1732
01:36:15.199 --> 01:36:18.520
All I learned that night was your real name, Charles Drew.

1733
01:36:19.199 --> 01:36:21.960
You mean you didn't look at the rest of my papers?

1734
01:36:22.079 --> 01:36:22.720
Certainly not.

1735
01:36:23.239 --> 01:36:24.319
But that's amazing.

1736
01:36:24.680 --> 01:36:25.399
Say you are.

1737
01:36:25.399 --> 01:36:28.399
Different, yes, and I suppose you're the everyday run of

1738
01:36:28.439 --> 01:36:29.159
the mill type.

1739
01:36:29.960 --> 01:36:31.359
Look what is this?

1740
01:36:31.720 --> 01:36:34.760
Oh it's all very simple, Judith. I thought you'd learned

1741
01:36:34.760 --> 01:36:37.560
of my affiliation with Scotland Yard when you had my billfold.

1742
01:36:37.880 --> 01:36:40.039
You mean you're a detective.

1743
01:36:40.840 --> 01:36:42.399
I've even been called a bloodhound.

1744
01:36:43.000 --> 01:36:47.159
Then all this time you've been trailing the killer.

1745
01:36:47.399 --> 01:36:47.840
That's right.

1746
01:36:48.279 --> 01:36:49.920
We had a tip off he might be on this ship,

1747
01:36:49.920 --> 01:36:52.119
and when I discovered the loose lifeboat covering, I was

1748
01:36:52.159 --> 01:36:52.640
certain of it.

1749
01:36:53.560 --> 01:36:56.760
Then, Alan Bruce, he wasn't murdered at all.

1750
01:36:57.000 --> 01:36:59.800
He never existed, just a name I was using. Good

1751
01:36:59.840 --> 01:37:02.039
by Lord Jude. If you know detectives never travel under

1752
01:37:02.039 --> 01:37:03.560
their own names. Just isn't done.

1753
01:37:03.880 --> 01:37:05.960
No, no, everything has to be done the hard way.

1754
01:37:06.039 --> 01:37:08.399
I suppose that that's why you just didn't find the

1755
01:37:08.520 --> 01:37:10.039
killer and arrest him on board.

1756
01:37:10.239 --> 01:37:11.880
Oh no, hardly.

1757
01:37:12.000 --> 01:37:14.880
You see, I couldn't find him search the ship from

1758
01:37:14.880 --> 01:37:17.319
top to bottom, I guess he really would have given

1759
01:37:17.359 --> 01:37:19.079
me the slip if I hadn't looked in the casket.

1760
01:37:19.239 --> 01:37:20.680
He was hiding there all the time.

1761
01:37:20.840 --> 01:37:21.720
No, it was empty.

1762
01:37:22.399 --> 01:37:23.119
I don't get it.

1763
01:37:23.479 --> 01:37:25.800
Neither did I at first. Then I began to wonder

1764
01:37:25.840 --> 01:37:28.399
why he would remove missus Prescott's body from her casket

1765
01:37:28.479 --> 01:37:31.319
unless it was part of some plan. And I decided

1766
01:37:31.359 --> 01:37:35.880
that it was a weird, yet thoroughly clever plan. Remember

1767
01:37:35.960 --> 01:37:38.199
I told you not every man would think of it.

1768
01:37:38.720 --> 01:37:41.920
Yes, you did say that he had only to.

1769
01:37:42.000 --> 01:37:44.199
Wait patiently until the ship.

1770
01:37:44.079 --> 01:37:46.760
Stocked, then at the last minute slip into the.

1771
01:37:46.800 --> 01:37:48.840
Casket and be hoisted out of the hole onto the

1772
01:37:48.920 --> 01:37:51.399
pier and whisked safely away in the funeral or car.

1773
01:37:52.199 --> 01:37:55.600
And I think if it hadn't been for you, he

1774
01:37:55.680 --> 01:37:56.680
might have gotten away with it.

1775
01:37:56.840 --> 01:37:59.600
For you helped plenty by calling off that bury on

1776
01:37:59.720 --> 01:38:00.439
leaving away.

1777
01:38:00.279 --> 01:38:07.680
Open point, Charles, I really arrest everything. I thought you

1778
01:38:07.960 --> 01:38:08.600
were the killer.

1779
01:38:10.319 --> 01:38:11.640
Well, no, wonder you avoided me.

1780
01:38:11.920 --> 01:38:14.840
I was so mixed up. I thought I knew so much.

1781
01:38:14.920 --> 01:38:18.239
No, it's my fault, darling, I overestimated you. Is it

1782
01:38:18.439 --> 01:38:19.319
all cleared you now?

1783
01:38:20.000 --> 01:38:23.039
Well? I, no, that is it.

1784
01:38:23.279 --> 01:38:27.760
It's clear about how well they the killer and the tasket.

1785
01:38:27.840 --> 01:38:31.439
But I don't know whether you mean about the lifeboats

1786
01:38:31.479 --> 01:38:32.079
and no.

1787
01:38:32.319 --> 01:38:33.479
No about you.

1788
01:38:34.439 --> 01:38:37.199
I'm not clear whether you mean.

1789
01:38:37.279 --> 01:38:38.960
Whether or not I'm really Scotland Yard.

1790
01:38:39.319 --> 01:38:42.760
Well I am, you can really no, I'm just not

1791
01:38:43.039 --> 01:38:43.640
sure whether.

1792
01:38:43.840 --> 01:38:46.960
But Judith, there's nothing else, oh except because that I

1793
01:38:47.079 --> 01:38:47.359
love you?

1794
01:38:47.560 --> 01:38:49.720
And what was that again?

1795
01:38:50.199 --> 01:38:50.920
I said I love you?

1796
01:38:52.960 --> 01:38:54.119
How can I be sure?

1797
01:38:55.239 --> 01:38:56.760
Julia Darling?

1798
01:38:58.039 --> 01:39:04.399
Oh, that makes it very chill?

1799
01:39:20.000 --> 01:39:23.680
And so closes Voyage Through Darkness, starring Olivia de Haviland

1800
01:39:24.000 --> 01:39:30.399
and Reginald Gardner, to night study in Suspense. Suspense is

1801
01:39:30.479 --> 01:39:34.640
produced and directed by William Spear. If you are one

1802
01:39:34.720 --> 01:39:37.600
who does not yet know how much and how delightfully

1803
01:39:37.760 --> 01:39:40.720
Roma wines add to your meals, will let me urge

1804
01:39:40.720 --> 01:39:42.880
you not to miss out any longer on such a

1805
01:39:42.960 --> 01:39:46.079
treat as this. There's nothing complicated about it.

1806
01:39:46.760 --> 01:39:47.319
Just get and.

1807
01:39:47.479 --> 01:39:50.840
Serve Roma wine with any meal or any time, in

1808
01:39:50.920 --> 01:39:52.319
any kind of glass you wish.

1809
01:39:53.039 --> 01:39:53.840
Serve it chilled.

1810
01:39:54.439 --> 01:39:57.279
Try the many different kinds of Roma wine until you

1811
01:39:57.359 --> 01:40:00.960
find those you like best of all, try Roma California

1812
01:40:01.039 --> 01:40:04.840
sherry with its wonderful nut like flavor, as an appetizer,

1813
01:40:05.600 --> 01:40:10.319
or ruby read Roma Burgundy or the deliciously delicate flavored

1814
01:40:10.399 --> 01:40:15.119
Roma soutern These superb wines cost you only pennies a glassful,

1815
01:40:15.760 --> 01:40:18.199

01:40:18.399 --> 01:40:22.039
million dollars. Get some today, and if your dealer is

1817

r M a Roma Wines, America's largest selling wines made

in California, or enjoyment throughout the world.

1820
01:40:39.119 --> 01:40:42.479
This is Olivia de Havlund. I have certainly enjoyed appearing

1821
01:40:42.520 --> 01:40:45.359
here tonight on suspense, which is a program I've admired

1822
01:40:45.399 --> 01:40:49.119
for a very long time. Our government has asked us

1823
01:40:49.159 --> 01:40:51.479
to bring to the attention of women listeners a very

1824
01:40:51.560 --> 01:40:55.439
important message. In spite of our wonderful victories on all

1825
01:40:55.479 --> 01:40:58.319
the fighting fronts, you must remember that the war is

1826
01:40:58.359 --> 01:41:01.319
by no means over or nearli A. Hundreds of thousands

1827
01:41:01.359 --> 01:41:04.359
of women must get into war work this year. You

1828
01:41:04.439 --> 01:41:07.439
are desperately needed, both because you are admirably fitted for

1829
01:41:07.560 --> 01:41:10.520
these jobs and because you represent the only adequate source

1830
01:41:10.560 --> 01:41:12.840
of labor to replace the men in the armed forces

1831
01:41:13.119 --> 01:41:17.119
and in the heavy war industries. Make a realistic appraisal

1832
01:41:17.159 --> 01:41:19.640
of your household duties and your state of health. Talk

1833
01:41:19.720 --> 01:41:21.720
it over with your family and with friends who are

1834
01:41:21.760 --> 01:41:23.920
now employed in war work or in one of the

1835
01:41:23.960 --> 01:41:27.199
branches of the Women's Armed Services. If you are still

1836
01:41:27.279 --> 01:41:30.119
in doubt after analyzing the situation, go to the United

1837
01:41:30.159 --> 01:41:33.199
States Employment Service Office and ask for information about the

1838
01:41:33.279 --> 01:41:36.079
kinds of full time or part time jobs for which

1839
01:41:36.159 --> 01:41:39.760
you are best suited. We cannot stress too highly how

1840
01:41:39.920 --> 01:41:44.000
vitally necessary your immediate action can be. And here is

1841
01:41:44.079 --> 01:41:48.960
a thought for everyone. Six million Americans are fighting over seas.

1842
01:41:49.399 --> 01:41:52.359
Here at home, let us all remember that until final

1843
01:41:52.520 --> 01:41:58.119
victory everywhere, winning the war still comes first with every last.

1844
01:41:58.000 --> 01:41:58.520
One of us.

1845
01:41:59.399 --> 01:42:02.239
Reginald god Wardner appeared through the courtesy of twentieth Century

Fox producers of Daryl f Xanax Wilson. Next Thursday, same time,

1847
01:42:09.000 --> 01:42:15.920
Joseph Cotton will be your Star of Us, been presented

01:42:16.000 --> 01:42:24.560
by Roma Wines RMA, made in California for enjoyment throughout

1849
01:42:24.600 --> 01:42:52.560
the world. That's the CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.

1850
01:42:58.600 --> 01:43:03.520
I've been thinking a lot about friendship. I'm sure you

1851
01:43:03.640 --> 01:43:09.039
have many, many other friends, more corporeal friends than I,

1852
01:43:09.359 --> 01:43:15.199
and unfortunately I can't quite say the same. But I'm very,

1853
01:43:16.039 --> 01:43:20.239
very happy to have your friendship, your kindness, your thoughts.

1854
01:43:21.239 --> 01:43:22.840
It means the world to me.

1855
01:43:24.399 --> 01:43:25.920
But of course.

1856
01:43:26.479 --> 01:43:32.079
Friendships take time. They have to be nurtured, they have

1857
01:43:32.199 --> 01:43:38.840
to be given kindness and compassion forgiveness. It's a lot

1858
01:43:39.000 --> 01:43:43.359
like gardening, where you plant to seed and you water

1859
01:43:43.520 --> 01:43:47.680
it and you hope against all hope that you are

1860
01:43:47.760 --> 01:43:49.960
not growing a demon tree.

1861
01:44:03.279 --> 01:44:19.359
Die fantasy. I am the spirit of the demon tree.

1862
01:44:29.520 --> 01:44:31.319
I had three pounds on the Jack of diamonds.

1863
01:44:31.680 --> 01:44:34.520
You should tear your money up, Humphreys, It would last

1864
01:44:34.600 --> 01:44:35.039
you longer.

1865
01:44:36.720 --> 01:44:41.159
Perhaps you're right, Crane, But this way I get a

1866
01:44:41.279 --> 01:44:46.119
sense of honest toil, I say, isn't anyone else betting?

1867
01:44:46.479 --> 01:44:50.319
Oh, let's quit, I'm tired of losing.

1868
01:44:50.640 --> 01:44:52.479
Oh look here, old girl, could I loan you a

1869
01:44:52.560 --> 01:44:53.159
few pounds?

1870
01:44:53.520 --> 01:44:54.479
No, thank you, Crane.

1871
01:44:55.000 --> 01:44:57.399
I do enough to get me back to London if

1872
01:44:57.479 --> 01:44:58.640
we ever do get back.

1873
01:44:58.760 --> 01:44:59.960
Now, why do you say that, Claire.

1874
01:45:00.119 --> 01:45:02.640
It's only a matter of a stage getting through here

1875
01:45:02.800 --> 01:45:05.560
to the resort, taking us out of this beastly place.

1876
01:45:05.840 --> 01:45:07.239
Beastly place is right.

1877
01:45:08.279 --> 01:45:10.439
Why people come here for a rest is more than

1878
01:45:10.479 --> 01:45:15.760
I can determine, honestly, I've never spent such an uncomfortable.

1879
01:45:15.199 --> 01:45:16.319
Week in all my life.

1880
01:45:16.359 --> 01:45:19.079
Well, think of me. I've been here three so have you?

1881
01:45:19.199 --> 01:45:22.039
Humph reason. Oh look, here you two.

1882
01:45:22.439 --> 01:45:25.479
It's three o'clock and I'm expecting the stage around eight tonight.

1883
01:45:26.359 --> 01:45:27.520
What do you say the three of us go for

1884
01:45:27.600 --> 01:45:28.760
a bit of a walk through the forest.

1885
01:45:28.880 --> 01:45:32.199
I say, why not? Or here comes Danvers. Perhaps you'll

1886
01:45:32.279 --> 01:45:32.720
join us.

1887
01:45:32.880 --> 01:45:36.960
Anything to get away from this place. Good afternoon, Danvers.

1888
01:45:37.119 --> 01:45:37.680
Greeting is good.

1889
01:45:37.720 --> 01:45:37.960
People.

1890
01:45:38.640 --> 01:45:40.319
I take it you're not happier than when I left

1891
01:45:40.359 --> 01:45:40.880
you a while ago.

1892
01:45:41.000 --> 01:45:43.439
Now the place is as gloomy as a morgue. We've

1893
01:45:43.560 --> 01:45:45.880
just agreed to take a walk in the forest.

1894
01:45:45.680 --> 01:45:46.199
Back of the inn.

1895
01:45:47.000 --> 01:45:49.119
Invited to come along if you like. Sounds like a

1896
01:45:49.159 --> 01:45:50.399
good enough way to pass the time.

1897
01:45:50.880 --> 01:45:52.399
Good, and we all go together.

1898
01:45:53.520 --> 01:45:59.039
Besides, I'm quite interested in that forest out there. You remember,

1899
01:45:59.119 --> 01:46:01.840
of course, the star the night clerk told us last evening.

1900
01:46:02.039 --> 01:46:03.159
Yes, I don't like him.

1901
01:46:03.439 --> 01:46:06.319
He talks through his nose. People should talk through their mouth. No, No,

1902
01:46:07.479 --> 01:46:10.680
I mean what he told us about the forest.

1903
01:46:11.239 --> 01:46:12.760
What about the forest? I didn't hear it.

1904
01:46:14.239 --> 01:46:18.399
Well, the clerk said it was a gorgeous place, lots

1905
01:46:18.399 --> 01:46:21.239
of beautiful foliage, red colors.

1906
01:46:21.640 --> 01:46:25.760
Clear water lakes. But nobody goes there so beautiful, just

1907
01:46:25.840 --> 01:46:35.399
did Clara. You see people have gone there never come back. Ruddish.

1908
01:46:35.680 --> 01:46:36.800
It's a lot of nonsense.

1909
01:46:37.279 --> 01:46:39.760
Why the clerk is just superstitious, that's all I am

1910
01:46:39.800 --> 01:46:42.760
inclined to agree with you, Danvers. Why he even told

1911
01:46:42.840 --> 01:46:46.279
us an absurd story about about a tree out there

1912
01:46:46.319 --> 01:46:50.199
in that forest that's supposed to strangle people, strangle them?

1913
01:46:51.359 --> 01:46:53.479
Oh, I don't know, with its branches.

1914
01:46:53.560 --> 01:46:57.239
I suppose just some absurd legend that people around here

1915
01:46:57.359 --> 01:46:57.880
like to believe.

1916
01:46:58.520 --> 01:47:01.600
I believe it's more than just a legend. Crane, And

1917
01:47:01.720 --> 01:47:02.479
what makes you say that?

1918
01:47:02.600 --> 01:47:03.840
Old man here?

1919
01:47:04.880 --> 01:47:07.880
I talked to the clerk again later last night. He

1920
01:47:08.000 --> 01:47:12.159
dug out this old newspaper clipping for me. Read it, Danvers, Hello,

1921
01:47:14.039 --> 01:47:17.039
old is right, almost illegible?

1922
01:47:17.359 --> 01:47:22.359
Well read it, it says. London, England.

1923
01:47:23.000 --> 01:47:27.880
April twenty first, eighteen fifty seven, is reported that s

1924
01:47:28.000 --> 01:47:32.520
Harace Wakefield, Earl of Dorsha, was found strangled last night

1925
01:47:32.560 --> 01:47:33.520
in Barlow Forest.

1926
01:47:34.399 --> 01:47:37.560
His body was discovered entangled in the branches of a.

1927
01:47:37.640 --> 01:47:38.439
Huge oak tree.

1928
01:47:38.800 --> 01:47:41.039
Ah, go on with the rest of us.

1929
01:47:41.159 --> 01:47:44.920
The earl's death recalls to mind the weird tale of

1930
01:47:45.079 --> 01:47:48.399
the Witch of Barlow Forest, who is said to have

1931
01:47:48.560 --> 01:47:52.199
lived in the sixteenth century, an evil old hag who,

1932
01:47:52.319 --> 01:47:55.000
upon having a falling out with Sir Thomas Holly Wakefield,

1933
01:47:56.159 --> 01:47:59.439
cursed him and warned him that any of his descendants

1934
01:47:59.439 --> 01:48:02.920
went aedest but surely perish.

1935
01:48:03.479 --> 01:48:07.199
Charming old girl wasn't all. Don't scoff until you've heard

1936
01:48:07.199 --> 01:48:07.720
the rest of it.

1937
01:48:09.399 --> 01:48:13.600
She also added that any person or persons with the

1938
01:48:13.680 --> 01:48:19.399
Wakefield descendant would also die. She is said to have

1939
01:48:19.560 --> 01:48:23.840
planted an acorn smeared with her own blood. The acorn

1940
01:48:23.920 --> 01:48:27.319
is supposed to have grown into a towering oak, capable

1941
01:48:27.359 --> 01:48:30.920
of moving about from place to place in Ballow Forest.

1942
01:48:32.239 --> 01:48:34.520
So Horace is the sixth of the Wakefield Lion to

1943
01:48:34.640 --> 01:48:42.920
have perished by strangulation in the forest. Thomas Hurly Wakefield.

1944
01:48:44.960 --> 01:48:50.600
I wonder, hmph, No, wonder what cray? My mother's name

1945
01:48:50.720 --> 01:48:54.760
was Wakefield. I was just wondering if she was related

1946
01:48:54.800 --> 01:48:55.479
to Sir Thomas.

1947
01:48:55.640 --> 01:48:58.840
How, of course, Doc Crane, It's just a story.

1948
01:49:00.000 --> 01:49:00.880
Straordinary story.

1949
01:49:01.239 --> 01:49:02.960
Would you say, yes?

1950
01:49:03.880 --> 01:49:06.239
It wouldn't do very well as a bedtimes to HORRYBOODI

1951
01:49:06.720 --> 01:49:09.560
demon try, I wonder if we could find it.

1952
01:49:10.000 --> 01:49:14.680
Well, let's have a try. I don't let anybody say,

1953
01:49:15.119 --> 01:49:19.840
and let's go. Humprey is going along, I say, Humphreys,

1954
01:49:19.880 --> 01:49:28.720
are you daydreaming? M I was just thinking, wouldn't it Beard,

1955
01:49:28.840 --> 01:49:34.920
if the whole thing we're true? If we all went in.

1956
01:49:35.079 --> 01:49:54.720
There and didn't come back, Well, do you, gentlemen, see

1957
01:49:54.760 --> 01:49:57.199
any way we can get into that forests?

1958
01:49:57.319 --> 01:49:57.760
Dancers?

1959
01:49:57.840 --> 01:50:01.279
Father times? Beard doesn't seem to be an opening anywhere.

1960
01:50:01.520 --> 01:50:03.840
I think we can get in over here? All right,

1961
01:50:04.039 --> 01:50:04.800
coming divers.

1962
01:50:05.279 --> 01:50:08.159
There seems to be a footpath over here, only.

1963
01:50:08.000 --> 01:50:11.039
One along this line of the forest. They seem Yes,

1964
01:50:11.119 --> 01:50:14.319
you're right, Come on, I leave. We'd better remember the

1965
01:50:14.359 --> 01:50:16.600
way back. It'd be hard to get out of here

1966
01:50:16.640 --> 01:50:18.119
if we didn't know where this opening is.

1967
01:50:18.279 --> 01:50:21.319
And don't worry, I'll remember it. I'm good at landmark.

1968
01:50:21.439 --> 01:50:26.079
Go ahead, fair, I'm right behind him. I say, do

1969
01:50:26.239 --> 01:50:31.279
any of you feel that? Feel? What? Denvers? A chill?

1970
01:50:33.159 --> 01:50:38.159
I feel like like it's twenty degrees colder in this place.

1971
01:50:38.920 --> 01:50:41.199
I feel that way too, so do I.

1972
01:50:42.319 --> 01:50:45.239
It's naturally cooler in the woods where the sun doesn't.

1973
01:50:45.000 --> 01:50:47.279
Shine, but not this much cooler.

1974
01:50:47.600 --> 01:50:48.880
I don't like this place.

1975
01:50:49.720 --> 01:50:50.920
I'm for going back to the end.

1976
01:50:51.039 --> 01:50:55.840
Oh, let's get on ahead a little ways. I say

1977
01:50:56.720 --> 01:50:57.800
it is pretty in.

1978
01:50:57.880 --> 01:51:00.600
Here, preuly, I'm not. It gives me the creep.

1979
01:51:01.319 --> 01:51:05.159
Isn't the kind of cold caused by climatic changes I

1980
01:51:05.319 --> 01:51:09.840
was at, Denver, I said, it's a different kind of cold.

1981
01:51:11.279 --> 01:51:14.119
It's the kind that creeps up your spine when some

1982
01:51:15.640 --> 01:51:17.760
some evil comes over your.

1983
01:51:17.680 --> 01:51:21.960
Phone out, Danvers, just letting that newspaper story play on

1984
01:51:22.039 --> 01:51:22.399
your mind.

1985
01:51:22.560 --> 01:51:28.359
Wait a minute, look at tree there in front of us.

1986
01:51:30.000 --> 01:51:35.079
Looks like a human giant off your right, Denvers swearing

1987
01:51:35.359 --> 01:51:36.640
moved just a moment ago.

1988
01:51:36.960 --> 01:51:39.319
It didn't move. I started too.

1989
01:51:41.479 --> 01:51:46.840
That's the strangest looking tree I ever saw. Look at

1990
01:51:46.920 --> 01:51:52.640
that bark. I wonder if play what's wrong? Man?

1991
01:51:52.800 --> 01:51:59.760
I just touched the bark of that tree and it

1992
01:52:01.079 --> 01:52:05.239
it didn't feel like bark at all. No, it felt

1993
01:52:05.359 --> 01:52:08.079
like like human skin.

1994
01:52:09.199 --> 01:52:11.319
Yeah, let me feel it.

1995
01:52:12.920 --> 01:52:13.439
I haven't.

1996
01:52:14.600 --> 01:52:20.720
It's true. It does feel like skin, warm.

1997
01:52:21.840 --> 01:52:28.600
The smooth, and so yeah, it feels that way.

1998
01:52:28.640 --> 01:52:31.520
To meet up, praise you touch it?

1999
01:52:32.159 --> 01:52:32.199
No?

2000
01:52:32.399 --> 01:52:36.079
Thanks, go ahead, Hamhras feel it.

2001
01:52:37.640 --> 01:52:38.600
I have no desire to.

2002
01:52:40.840 --> 01:52:43.800
You. See, I'm sure you're right.

2003
01:52:44.079 --> 01:52:44.479
What's that?

2004
01:52:46.000 --> 01:52:51.880
I feel that this is the demon tree of all

2005
01:52:51.920 --> 01:52:52.279
of ours.

2006
01:52:53.720 --> 01:52:56.199
I think we've seen enough of this place, haven't we.

2007
01:52:57.319 --> 01:53:04.720
Let's get back to the end of all right month, right, ay,

2008
01:53:05.319 --> 01:53:05.920
Wait a minute?

2009
01:53:08.159 --> 01:53:13.239
Have you noticed how dark it is? All of a sudden,

2010
01:53:14.079 --> 01:53:17.079
the sun's behind the cloud. Probably it's impossible to see

2011
01:53:17.119 --> 01:53:18.479
the sky through this foliage.

2012
01:53:18.720 --> 01:53:19.479
It is darker.

2013
01:53:20.479 --> 01:53:22.000
I can hardly see where I'm walking.

2014
01:53:22.520 --> 01:53:26.760
Are you quite sure this is the right way? I

2015
01:53:26.920 --> 01:53:31.159
don't remember this clearing. I don't either. Wait a minute,

2016
01:53:33.039 --> 01:53:34.399
Why heaven, this isn't the way?

2017
01:53:35.680 --> 01:53:38.159
Must be We're on the path, aren't we.

2018
01:53:38.960 --> 01:53:39.000
No?

2019
01:53:40.760 --> 01:53:44.760
No, I don't think we are so dark. Do any

2020
01:53:44.760 --> 01:53:45.439
of you have a fly?

2021
01:53:45.640 --> 01:53:47.239
I certainly don't remember this clearing?

2022
01:53:47.840 --> 01:53:51.000
I think, hm, what was that?

2023
01:53:51.439 --> 01:53:51.840
What was what?

2024
01:53:52.039 --> 01:53:54.840
Claim you?

2025
01:53:56.199 --> 01:54:00.800
You'll think this is foolish, But I swear I felt

2026
01:54:01.000 --> 01:54:04.319
the branch of a tree brush across my face and shoulders.

2027
01:54:05.319 --> 01:54:08.800
That's impossible, there's not a tree.

2028
01:54:08.680 --> 01:54:09.720
But in defeat.

2029
01:54:09.880 --> 01:54:10.720
But I felt it.

2030
01:54:10.840 --> 01:54:11.239
I tell you.

2031
01:54:12.479 --> 01:54:16.560
It rustled like a branch, covered with leaves and det

2032
01:54:17.399 --> 01:54:21.880
It felt warm and soft, like human flesh.

2033
01:54:26.520 --> 01:54:27.359
Are you sure?

2034
01:54:27.720 --> 01:54:27.880
Yes?

2035
01:54:28.520 --> 01:54:33.199
Look, we're lost here. It's dark, dark as night, right.

2036
01:54:33.159 --> 01:54:36.039
In the middle of the afternoon, and we've lost the

2037
01:54:36.359 --> 01:54:39.239
path in that tree. Easy, Crane, I'll keep your head man,

2038
01:54:39.479 --> 01:54:41.960
I'm getting out of here. I'm not going to stay

2039
01:54:42.039 --> 01:54:42.880
here and be murdered.

2040
01:54:43.000 --> 01:54:45.520
Dan stay with us.

2041
01:54:45.600 --> 01:54:48.119
No, no, I'm going to find the path and get

2042
01:54:48.159 --> 01:54:48.560
out of here.

2043
01:54:48.680 --> 01:54:50.399
Paine, stay here, we'll find a way back.

2044
01:54:50.479 --> 01:54:52.000
I don't want to stay here and die.

2045
01:54:52.079 --> 01:54:54.199
I want to get away from this way to.

2046
01:54:54.359 --> 01:54:54.840
Be a fool.

2047
01:55:00.039 --> 01:55:08.640
Yeah gone, Now he is in for it. We're better

2048
01:55:08.720 --> 01:55:14.560
off by staying together. I don't know, but we are not.

2049
01:55:18.399 --> 01:55:19.119
Sounds like he's trying.

2050
01:55:19.479 --> 01:55:22.399
Come on, we kind have gotten five right over here.

2051
01:55:22.439 --> 01:55:28.520
I think I'll take it easy. I'll be cauble. Oh daddy, Yes,

2052
01:55:30.119 --> 01:55:32.760
stretched out on the ground like.

2053
01:55:34.479 --> 01:55:36.680
Like he was dead.

2054
01:55:43.439 --> 01:55:52.000
M Look look at him. Marks on his throat. Five

2055
01:55:52.760 --> 01:55:55.880
hands with me. That wasn't done by hands?

2056
01:55:57.560 --> 01:56:04.279
See Dames on his skin, greenstain.

2057
01:56:09.359 --> 01:56:12.359
Thomas Wakefield, Craye.

2058
01:56:12.680 --> 01:56:15.159
Oh, what a horrible way for him to die.

2059
01:56:16.000 --> 01:56:20.760
Craya a tree. This is where we first saw it.

2060
01:56:21.039 --> 01:56:21.680
Now it's gone.

2061
01:56:23.680 --> 01:56:24.560
This is where it was.

2062
01:56:24.640 --> 01:56:25.319
I'm sure of it.

2063
01:56:25.479 --> 01:56:30.520
Then what's happened to it? Important question is what are

2064
01:56:30.560 --> 01:56:33.279
we going to do with Crane? And have to leave

2065
01:56:33.319 --> 01:56:36.000
him here and we can find a way out of

2066
01:56:36.079 --> 01:56:38.159
this place for Crane.

2067
01:56:39.079 --> 01:56:40.760
It happened so quickly.

2068
01:56:42.039 --> 01:56:43.880
One minute he was with us, in the next we

2069
01:56:43.960 --> 01:56:46.720
wanted him not to leave us. The three of us

2070
01:56:46.760 --> 01:56:47.920
had better stay close together.

2071
01:56:47.960 --> 01:56:49.800
Oh yes, for heaven's sakes, let's not get that, and

2072
01:56:49.880 --> 01:56:50.279
don't come on.

2073
01:56:52.720 --> 01:56:58.039
There's nothing we can do for Crane. Now, we've got

2074
01:56:58.119 --> 01:57:02.439
to find our way out of here. Just doesn't seem right.

2075
01:57:03.039 --> 01:57:03.680
Leaving him there.

2076
01:57:03.800 --> 01:57:07.920
It's all we can do. Come on, how do we

2077
01:57:08.039 --> 01:57:08.760
know which way to go?

2078
01:57:10.319 --> 01:57:10.760
We don't.

2079
01:57:12.359 --> 01:57:16.039
All we can do is keep moving and hope to

2080
01:57:16.159 --> 01:57:17.159
find into out again.

2081
01:57:17.479 --> 01:57:22.800
It's horrible wandering about like this, like like nothing but

2082
01:57:22.880 --> 01:57:24.840
a group of Marionnette.

2083
01:57:24.760 --> 01:57:30.760
Controlled by what strange properteer? What's that, Humphreys.

2084
01:57:31.560 --> 01:57:36.039
I said, controlled by what strange properteer?

2085
01:57:37.880 --> 01:57:40.159
Surely you don't think we've been purposely led into this?

2086
01:57:40.680 --> 01:57:44.720
Who can say? Oh, now, train without the deep end.

2087
01:57:45.520 --> 01:57:46.640
We've got to keep out him.

2088
01:57:46.920 --> 01:57:50.119
We found a way in, surely we'll find a way out.

2089
01:57:50.800 --> 01:57:55.800
Yes, so we didn't find a way in. But what

2090
01:57:55.920 --> 01:57:58.520
about the chill, the darkness?

2091
01:57:58.840 --> 01:58:00.359
Who ex nation?

2092
01:58:02.039 --> 01:58:06.119
Perhaps the storm is coming up. That could be, It

2093
01:58:06.880 --> 01:58:09.840
couldn't if storms don't rise that quickly.

2094
01:58:09.960 --> 01:58:10.640
In this part of the.

2095
01:58:10.640 --> 01:58:16.600
Country, and the darkness came down on this forest like

2096
01:58:16.720 --> 01:58:18.680
a strad Yes.

2097
01:58:20.680 --> 01:58:29.560
Came so quickly, reminded me of how a corpse must

2098
01:58:29.680 --> 01:58:33.119
feel in his coffin, and the lid is put over.

2099
01:58:33.399 --> 01:58:36.439
Look at, Humphries, I'm about fed up with that sort

2100
01:58:36.479 --> 01:58:40.119
of talk. Only a fool refuses to face the fact standards.

2101
01:58:41.640 --> 01:58:43.479
You know, this isn't in the ordinary situation.

2102
01:58:43.560 --> 01:58:43.880
We're in.

2103
01:58:45.479 --> 01:58:49.760
A chill of winter, in the summer time, darkness and

2104
01:58:49.920 --> 01:58:54.640
mid afternoon, and the tree that strength.

2105
01:58:54.960 --> 01:58:58.439
It is probably just an accident trains day.

2106
01:58:59.039 --> 01:59:01.000
Why don't you stop trying to tell yourself that the

2107
01:59:01.079 --> 01:59:05.079
tree was only an imaginary thing. We all know that

2108
01:59:05.199 --> 01:59:09.920
it's real, Hungris, and there's alive as any of us.

2109
01:59:11.640 --> 01:59:13.840
The bark didn't feel like human flesh.

2110
01:59:15.680 --> 01:59:18.600
Humphries. Look what.

2111
01:59:20.159 --> 01:59:24.199
What is it? A gold light that ahead of us?

2112
01:59:24.600 --> 01:59:29.560
It's the tree there? Now, what do you think, Danvers?

2113
01:59:31.000 --> 01:59:37.279
Look, it's the tree moving along in a glow phosphorescent light. Hiddens,

2114
01:59:38.600 --> 01:59:41.800
it's the same tree. It looks like a human giant.

2115
01:59:42.079 --> 01:59:44.600
It was low well near here, it.

2116
01:59:44.720 --> 01:59:45.319
Was back there?

2117
01:59:45.720 --> 01:59:47.560
Do you too see what the tree is carrying.

2118
01:59:48.159 --> 01:59:53.319
It's carrying crane it's got him tucked up under that

2119
01:59:53.560 --> 01:59:57.279
huge branch that looks like a human arm.

2120
01:59:58.520 --> 02:00:03.520
It's fading now, disappearing again, fading away.

2121
02:00:04.640 --> 02:00:04.920
It is.

2122
02:00:07.279 --> 02:00:07.600
Gone.

2123
02:00:09.720 --> 02:00:10.199
It's gone.

2124
02:00:10.720 --> 02:00:14.119
Now Do you believe, Davers? Now? Do you admit that

2125
02:00:14.279 --> 02:00:15.640
the tree is alive?

2126
02:00:16.039 --> 02:00:17.439
What else can I believe?

2127
02:00:18.920 --> 02:00:19.640
I don't know.

2128
02:00:21.960 --> 02:00:23.199
He's falling into a water pool.

2129
02:00:24.319 --> 02:00:27.560
Has really think you?

2130
02:00:29.720 --> 02:00:32.880
I ended my wais Get me out of hair stands,

2131
02:00:32.960 --> 02:00:34.560
till dampers. You just sink deeper.

2132
02:00:34.800 --> 02:00:35.840
Wait, help me.

2133
02:00:35.880 --> 02:00:36.439
Out of here.

2134
02:00:37.319 --> 02:00:39.359
That's something I can get onto.

2135
02:00:39.520 --> 02:00:41.840
Here, Grady, end of that pool.

2136
02:00:43.640 --> 02:00:51.680
Rabbit averas grabbitte and that three brands if they ain't.

2137
02:00:51.560 --> 02:00:53.439
Me, Lord listen Clara.

2138
02:00:54.840 --> 02:00:55.760
A three brands.

2139
02:00:56.800 --> 02:01:00.520
But we can't be I can't get you Boom.

2140
02:01:01.760 --> 02:01:03.319
The gods didn't leading me.

2141
02:01:03.399 --> 02:01:05.520
By Humphrey do something he's up to.

2142
02:01:05.640 --> 02:01:10.239
He showed us now because I can't make it, I

2143
02:01:10.359 --> 02:01:13.680
can't help tag may save me.

2144
02:01:15.039 --> 02:01:16.199
You go under the big stands.

2145
02:01:17.520 --> 02:01:19.039
There's nothing I can do that.

2146
02:01:20.680 --> 02:01:21.600
The damon's drain.

2147
02:01:22.680 --> 02:01:23.800
There's not shaving.

2148
02:01:25.920 --> 02:01:26.159
Mad.

2149
02:01:36.079 --> 02:01:36.800
He's gone.

2150
02:01:38.279 --> 02:01:41.119
Poor devil didn't have a chance.

2151
02:01:43.239 --> 02:01:44.239
We've got to get out of here.

2152
02:01:45.880 --> 02:01:46.640
We're all doomed.

2153
02:01:47.720 --> 02:01:49.520
It's the way you curse Lever stop it.

2154
02:01:49.800 --> 02:01:50.479
It is the curse.

2155
02:01:51.439 --> 02:01:52.119
We're helpful.

2156
02:01:52.960 --> 02:01:54.760
There's nothing we can do to save ourselves.

2157
02:01:54.960 --> 02:01:59.319
Clever, Stop. We can't give up. We've got to find

2158
02:01:59.359 --> 02:02:03.439
a way out of this place. Be careful for your

2159
02:02:03.479 --> 02:02:07.840
step whatever happens, keep your head Clara, for heaven.

2160
02:02:07.720 --> 02:02:14.319
See h.

2161
02:02:36.680 --> 02:02:37.800
Oh wow, praise.

2162
02:02:39.560 --> 02:02:40.520
I'm so tired.

2163
02:02:42.680 --> 02:02:44.000
We've walked for hours.

2164
02:02:45.239 --> 02:02:48.039
I say, it's getting a little lighter.

2165
02:02:48.880 --> 02:02:49.199
Clara.

2166
02:02:50.199 --> 02:02:52.920
Up ahead, there isn't that a path? What?

2167
02:02:54.399 --> 02:02:59.119
Oh, you're right, humphries the path we came in on.

2168
02:02:59.520 --> 02:03:02.239
And look there's an opening through the tree.

2169
02:03:02.359 --> 02:03:06.680
Yes, I remember the landmarks. Oh, thanks God for the life.

2170
02:03:06.800 --> 02:03:10.399
Come on out of this place. There's nothing we can

2171
02:03:10.479 --> 02:03:34.560
do for Danvers or claim now, Clara.

2172
02:03:35.399 --> 02:03:36.920
Yes, I.

2173
02:03:38.479 --> 02:03:42.119
Wonder if you feel as I do. I thought we'd

2174
02:03:42.159 --> 02:03:45.960
be safe back here in a hotel. I don't know

2175
02:03:46.000 --> 02:03:49.239
how to describe it. I have a feeling that this

2176
02:03:49.359 --> 02:03:50.680
whole business isn't over yet.

2177
02:03:51.399 --> 02:03:56.520
I know I've had the same feeling, a feeling that

2178
02:03:57.680 --> 02:03:59.720
we're not finished with the demon.

2179
02:03:59.439 --> 02:04:05.560
Tree, or that it's not finished with us. Yes, exactly,

2180
02:04:08.560 --> 02:04:11.640
yeah my room. Bet I go in there and have

2181
02:04:11.720 --> 02:04:13.479
a drink, Claire, Heaven knows we need one.

2182
02:04:13.600 --> 02:04:15.439
Yes, I certainly do.

2183
02:04:17.119 --> 02:04:19.479
What's worrying me is how am I going to explain

2184
02:04:19.560 --> 02:04:21.039
what happened to Craig in the Danvers?

2185
02:04:22.840 --> 02:04:29.119
Wait a minute, how get the light? Humphrey, good lord.

2186
02:04:29.760 --> 02:04:32.720
The branch of a tree about two feet long. Look

2187
02:04:32.800 --> 02:04:36.760
at it? Look at it, a fresh living branch.

2188
02:04:37.119 --> 02:04:37.319
Down.

2189
02:04:38.119 --> 02:04:39.560
Oh Humphries, I'm getting out of here.

2190
02:04:39.560 --> 02:04:41.319
Where are you going down to the lobby and wait

2191
02:04:41.359 --> 02:04:41.960
for this tape?

2192
02:04:42.000 --> 02:04:42.920
Hold on, I'll go with you.

2193
02:04:43.680 --> 02:04:47.000
Wait, Clara, Wait, it's three flights down. Let's take the elevator.

2194
02:04:48.359 --> 02:04:49.520
We can get the thing up here.

2195
02:04:49.720 --> 02:04:51.800
It's automatic. Just push the button, it'll come up.

2196
02:04:52.319 --> 02:04:56.600
Humphrey, Look, someone, let this deal gate open.

2197
02:04:56.760 --> 02:05:01.840
I say, that's dangerous, certainly, But why.

2198
02:05:01.920 --> 02:05:03.039
Is pushing stow me?

2199
02:05:03.239 --> 02:05:04.159
Brow? Wow?

2200
02:05:09.840 --> 02:05:16.920
Good lord Clara, Clara, a branch.

2201
02:05:17.960 --> 02:05:19.399
It pushed her on the shif.

2202
02:05:20.800 --> 02:05:25.720
It's that to me, get away, get away, help me,

2203
02:05:26.359 --> 02:05:28.600
help me somebody for three.

2204
02:05:30.039 --> 02:05:30.279
Three.

2205
02:05:31.119 --> 02:05:32.520
It's stalking.

2206
02:05:41.039 --> 02:05:47.279
Any descendant of Sir Thomas Hurley Wakefield Renters Barlowed forest

2207
02:05:48.199 --> 02:05:52.239
is doomed to die, and all who enter the forest

2208
02:05:53.279 --> 02:05:57.520
with him are likewise doomed.

2209
02:05:59.600 --> 02:05:59.920
Mm hm.

2210
02:06:19.520 --> 02:06:43.319
Dark Santasy, you have just heard The Demon Tree, an

2211
02:06:43.359 --> 02:06:48.039
original tale of dark fantasy. By Scotch Bishop to Night's

2212
02:06:48.079 --> 02:06:52.960
cast included Eleanor Naylor Coran as Clara, Ben Morris who

2213
02:06:53.079 --> 02:06:57.199
was Humphreys. Garland Moss took the part of Danvers, and

2214
02:06:57.359 --> 02:06:59.359
Murrella Schofield was heard as cream.

2215
02:07:01.960 --> 02:07:06.319
Well, my dear, I hope the music helps soothe the

2216
02:07:07.239 --> 02:07:11.319
savage soul. But I am so glad you join me tonight.

2217
02:07:11.439 --> 02:07:15.039
And I hope as you head out for the evening

2218
02:07:15.159 --> 02:07:19.159
and I to wherever it is, that if I go,

2219
02:07:20.319 --> 02:07:24.239
you know that I'll always be here for you at

2220
02:07:24.279 --> 02:07:28.239
the same time and the same place. All you have

2221
02:07:28.359 --> 02:07:33.359
to do is show up. And before you leave, before

2222
02:07:33.439 --> 02:07:38.000
