Step into Unknown Broadcast — classic old-time radio horror stories and vintage radio suspense pulled from the dark, stitched together, and left to play in the corners of your feed. Tonight, four nightmares unfold: a royal smile that means life… a desperate man pushed into crime… a murder heard in the dark… and an island where gunfire answers the tide.

  • 👑 “The Queen of Darkness” — In a kingdom where a queen still holds real power, Josephine Denison’s charm hides something colder: ambition, jealousy, and a court that learns too late what her favor costs.
  • 🕯️ “Dark, Dark Destiny” — Joe Harrison needs money to save his wife, Mary… and one bad decision becomes a chain of robbery, panic, and a death that won’t stay neatly buried as “accident.”
  • 🎹 “A World of Darkness” — A young woman is found stabbed to death inside a house full of suspects. A blind musician, Anton Rizak, listens harder than anyone else… and turns sound itself into the final accusation.
  • 🌑 “Dark Island” — A party, a hidden fortune, double-crosses… and a midnight shoreline where gunfire writes punctuation across the waves. On this island, even the wrong name can get you killed.
The darkness doesn’t end when the story does… it just learns your address.

1
00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:15.919
Well, my dear, so good of you to brave the

2
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:20.760
absence of light out there to join me here tonight.

3
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:26.079
Oh what's that? Well, I suppose it is a little more.

4
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:27.839
Hmm.

5
00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:35.119
Now I see what you're saying. I'll put another log

6
00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:38.520
on the fire and see if I can't remedy the

7
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:49.439
situation quickly. But I do wonder as it gets dimmer

8
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:55.640
and colder, what does that mean for the rest of us? Well,

9
00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:03.560
I suppose we can't really know. These are questions for

10
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:06.120
the Queen of Darkness.

11
00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:16.519
The CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents.

12
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:28.120
Come in.

13
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:31.079
Welcome.

14
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:32.439
I'm e. G.

15
00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:33.159
Marshall.

16
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.439
Two little girls still dream of growing up and becoming queens.

17
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:43.799
Probably not, queens are no longer glamorous. And yet there

18
00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.040
is a country in this world where a queen still

19
00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:52.200
holds power, where she rules as well as reigns, an

20
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:57.359
absolute monarch who holds her throne by divine right, a

21
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:02.280
queen whose smile may mean life and who's frown can

22
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:03.159
mean death.

23
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:07.799
I'm afraid I must insist, missus Dennison. I'll be forced

24
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:08.520
to kill you.

25
00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:09.719
You can't kill me.

26
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:11.439
How can you say that?

27
00:02:11.599 --> 00:02:15.319
Because you don't exist this Dennison?

28
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:16.919
I do exist.

29
00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:20.159
No, you don't, because this is a dream.

30
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:21.560
You are not dreaming.

31
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:23.560
This knight is real.

32
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:28.479
If you insist on dying, it's your fault.

33
00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:39.039
Is Why don't I wake up?

34
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:40.599
Why?

35
00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:44.080
Why don't I wake up?

36
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:47.599
Wheah.

37
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:59.800
Our mystery drama, The Queen of Darkness was written especially

38
00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:04.560
for the Mystery Theater by Sam Dan and stars Julie Harris.

39
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:09.080
It is sponsored in part by Onenheuser Busch Incorporated, brewers

40
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:13.840
of Buttweiser, and sign off the Sinus Medicines. I'll be

41
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:28.120
back shortly with act one. Statistics say that many of

42
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:32.159
them have problems making a living. The record shows that

43
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:36.520
even the successful ones burn out quickly, and yet we

44
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:41.680
have no shortage of actors and actresses. By acting, we

45
00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:46.000
mean that mysterious, magical force which creates in an audience

46
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:50.759
the almost religious conviction that the performer on stage is

47
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:55.599
the embodiment of a living truth. Josephine Dennison is such

48
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:59.360
an actress. Some say she was born with the gift,

49
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.560
Others claim it was refined and purified by long years

50
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:09.080
of tedious application. Does it matter. Josephine Dennison only knows this.

51
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.280
She is thirty eight years old and she is.

52
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:12.960
Out of work.

53
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.279
Well, she's been out of work before, but.

54
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.959
Never has she been so absolutely, completely and totally out

55
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.240
of work as she is right now.

56
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:25.120
Joel, you've had it.

57
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:26.360
Don't say that.

58
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.800
I have to say that. You're watch stop throw finished.

59
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.720
How could this happen to me? It's it's ridiculous. I'm

60
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:34.759
a good actress.

61
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:38.439
You're a great actress. I don't know why it happens.

62
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:42.720
It's just Joe, You're the only call I had for

63
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.199
you in the last week. Somebody wanted me, some clown,

64
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:48.360
some character wanted to be the queen and some pageant and.

65
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:49.680
You turned it down.

66
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.839
Joe, you played Jonah Rock. You've done Shakespeare. What are

67
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:54.519
you supposed to do?

68
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:54.800
Now?

69
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:57.480
Go back to cheesecake like some winning a beauty contract.

70
00:04:57.519 --> 00:04:59.839
That's all there is if you need.

71
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.160
I wanted to pay the rent.

72
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:05.920
I don't need money. I need a job. Jimmy, what

73
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:08.319
kind of queen was I supposed to be? And who

74
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:08.879
wanted me?

75
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.560
By some farny you could tell by looking at him.

76
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:13.959
A smooth talker. I think it was some kind of foreigner.

77
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:15.000
But what was it about?

78
00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:17.920
We'll never know. I threw him out of the office.

79
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:20.759
Jimmy, I'll do anything. You know how it is?

80
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:24.240
Yeah, I know how it is, but you don't.

81
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:27.920
Well. I don't want to take up any more of

82
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:28.519
your time.

83
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:32.399
I just don't know what's the matter. I can't figure

84
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:35.240
people out. I don't know why these things happen.

85
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:38.399
But don't feel so bad, Jimmy. Sooner or later, the

86
00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:42.800
longest streak of luck, good or bad has to change, Quip, dreaming, Joe,

87
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:53.160
don't tell me to stop dreaming, Jimmy. What else is left?

88
00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:56.519
What?

89
00:05:58.040 --> 00:05:59.199
Why am I life done?

90
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:00.360
Good?

91
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:00.759
Evening?

92
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:02.240
Miss Dennison?

93
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:06.920
Who who are you? How did you get into my apartment?

94
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:07.560
What do you want?

95
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:12.480
You have just asked me a complex question. It consists

96
00:06:12.519 --> 00:06:16.680
of three parts. Just tell me, of course, I will

97
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:18.879
tell you everything in good time.

98
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:20.279
What do you mean in good time?

99
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:24.199
Am I there? Miss Dennison? I am a native of

100
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:28.639
a civilized country. One does not borishly blurt out one's

101
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:33.000
business upon an issue confrontation. Americans seem to have so

102
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:37.839
little time for the ceremonies, the niceties. I am here

103
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:39.439
to offer.

104
00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:39.720
You a job.

105
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:41.199
You'll have to speak to my agent.

106
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:45.360
I have spoken to your agent. The man is an idiot.

107
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:47.519
Are you a theatrical producer?

108
00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:48.480
No?

109
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:50.639
What are you?

110
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:55.680
I am a grand duke of what? I am the

111
00:06:55.800 --> 00:07:01.920
grand Duke our son of darrat Run. We surely you

112
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:03.360
have heard of my country?

113
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:04.759
Oh, I think?

114
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:05.079
So?

115
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:08.480
What do you want with me?

116
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:13.399
First? We shall have dinner. You must be my guest.

117
00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:16.079
I don't feel like going anywhere.

118
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:17.319
We shall dine here.

119
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:21.639
I don't want to sound inhospitable, but I have nothing

120
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:22.240
in the house.

121
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:31.639
Wait a minute, yes, sniff again. That heavenly aroma is

122
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:36.160
coming from your own kitchen. But my servants are preparing

123
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:41.959
a feast fit for a queen. Rna Laura really at

124
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:43.199
the table at once?

125
00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:51.000
I don't I can't believe it. None of us can

126
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:51.720
be happening.

127
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:54.759
Just the evidence of your senses, my dear.

128
00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:57.680
But what is the meaning?

129
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:02.720
The wine will grow warm and the food become cold later?

130
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:08.279
Right now, we must perform a ritual, Miss Dennison. We

131
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:10.920
shall celebrate dinner.

132
00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:15.680
Me.

133
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:17.879
I feel your glass.

134
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:21.160
No, no, thank you, I've had enough of everything.

135
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.120
I hope you have enjoyed your dinner.

136
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:26.439
I've read a feast like this, but I never.

137
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:30.639
Thought would you care to dine this way every night?

138
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:33.799
I don't think I could stand it. You could learn

139
00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:37.279
your Highness or your excellency?

140
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.919
Is it our sun is good enough?

141
00:08:40.440 --> 00:08:43.039
Is it permissible to talk about business?

142
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:49.120
Now? You're entirely appropriate. You are wondering why I am here.

143
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:52.600
Let's say I'm at least mildly curious.

144
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:57.519
You know very little about my country, that's true, But

145
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:03.159
my country knows a great pease about you. Do you

146
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:06.399
know you are the most popular actress in Dhara?

147
00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.440
You're joking. I haven't been in a movie in almost

148
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:12.120
four years.

149
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:16.080
How about your television series? Why must we talk about

150
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:22.000
everything in which you ever appeared? Lifts flourishes in Dhara?

151
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:31.320
Do you know what all this is? It's a dream. Yes,

152
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:33.600
it's a dreams dream.

153
00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:36.480
I assure you I am read.

154
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:41.039
Please be good enough to hear me out. Besides, this

155
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.519
is my dream, and I should like to do some

156
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:44.279
of the talking.

157
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:47.720
But why do you insist your dreams?

158
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:53.440
Because I need this dream. I must have this fantasy.

159
00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:56.799
You see, I have reached what can only be considered

160
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:00.360
the nadir of my existence. Nonsense, Oh, you're very kind,

161
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:05.000
But the handwriting is on the wall. We simply disappear.

162
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:08.960
Some of us drop by the wayside as soldiers fall

163
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:14.080
in battle, victims of random misfortune, And now it seems

164
00:10:14.120 --> 00:10:17.960
a whole new generation of producers has come along and

165
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:19.000
they never heard of me.

166
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:22.879
Now I insist that you listen to me. You are

167
00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:28.240
practically worshiped in Drani, of course. Yes, see what I.

168
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:29.399
Have in this folder.

169
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:36.679
Newspaper clippings, magazine articles. You cannot read Darranis, but you

170
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:39.519
can nick out your name, and you can certainly recognize

171
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:40.159
your pictures.

172
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:40.879
Certainly.

173
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:43.399
Uh huh. What do you say now?

174
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:46.200
I say it's significance.

175
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:49.960
Let me tell you about the job I wish to

176
00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:50.759
offer you.

177
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:56.440
No, not now right now. I'm tired. I'm even too

178
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:58.600
tired to dream anymore.

179
00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:03.759
Very well, then I shall call on you tomorrow.

180
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:17.639
Yes, tomorrow, you do that, call on me tomorrow. Kill, oh, kill,

181
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:23.759
wake up. It's noontime. Oh Sally, you got to get up.

182
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:27.360
You should be making the rounds, or you should be

183
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:30.720
out there roiling the water. What are you doing here? Sally?

184
00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:34.360
The show folded? Well, why don't you go to your

185
00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:38.799
own place? My marriage folded too. He gets custody of

186
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:42.679
the apartment. Do you mind if I move in with

187
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:44.799
you for a while. Let me go back to sleep.

188
00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:50.320
I was having such a fantastic dream and say what

189
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:53.399
kind of party did you have here last night? Party?

190
00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:57.279
Now the kitchen it's loaded with champagne, champagne, and in

191
00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:01.080
the refrigerator caviar and steak. Talking about it is an

192
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:06.360
enormous basket of fresh fruit and Sally, Sally, what's the matter.

193
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:11.000
I'm dreaming. I'm still dreaming. How can you be dreaming?

194
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:11.759
You're right away?

195
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:16.000
Oh I am dreaming and you're part of it. Let

196
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:19.720
me get out of it. Approve it, Come with me,

197
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:26.960
prove what? Prove this is a dream? Sure? Here they are,

198
00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:30.799
they're still here. Look at these papers, these these magazines.

199
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:33.679
Say what language?

200
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:33.879
Is that?

201
00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:38.360
A phony language from a phony country that I'm dreaming about?

202
00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:39.360
Dal Ram?

203
00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:46.120
Did you ever hear of dal Raum? I can't read this,

204
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:51.240
but I see your pictures. Oh, you must be the

205
00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:55.720
hottest property in that country. Ah here you thought you

206
00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:59.679
were all washed up? I told you you must never

207
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:05.559
I know. That's why I'm dreaming. Answer it, no, it

208
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:08.000
has to be for you, and go ahead. If it

209
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:10.360
keeps ringing, it'll wake me up. And the stream is

210
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:17.440
too beautiful to lose. Right now, Hello, is that the

211
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:20.080
Grand Duke Arsan? Who's calling?

212
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:26.559
Please? Now? How did you know?

213
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:29.919
It's my dream? I know everything. I'll speak with him,

214
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:31.600
but you you're not Hello?

215
00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:35.320
And what is the convenient to.

216
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:39.279
Come by and discuss an important matter of business? Say

217
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:41.000
about an hour?

218
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:46.240
Let me consult my calendar. Ah, yes, it so happens.

219
00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:50.440
I shall be free in oh one moment, sir, I

220
00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.799
assume you wish to discuss an acting assignment. Of course,

221
00:13:55.200 --> 00:13:57.639
you should be apprised of the fact that my minimum

222
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:03.240
fee is twenty five thousand dollars in advance. In exactly

223
00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:07.159
one hour, then I shall grant you an interview. So

224
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:12.360
what you say doesn't matter. What do I have to lose?

225
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:17.600
It's only a dream. I I think you ought to

226
00:14:17.639 --> 00:14:18.840
see a doctor.

227
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:29.960
And so we should like you to come to Dalran

228
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:35.840
to be the star of our millenniaya what your country

229
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:42.080
has merely approached this bicentennial. Mine is celebrating the one

230
00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:47.399
thousandth year of our holy monarchy. I see, the greatest

231
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:50.480
moment of our history occurred when our first Queen was

232
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:55.919
crowned a thousand years ago. Her immortal speech is memorized

233
00:14:55.919 --> 00:15:00.840
by every school child. Someone had the idea an actress

234
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:05.480
portray our legendary empress and at first everyone shouted blasphemy.

235
00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:13.120
But then I said, let us invite Josephine Dennison, who

236
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:15.399
is idolized by our population.

237
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.960
How can I deliver this speech? I can't speak your language. Oh,

238
00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:21.919
you are an actress with a marvelous here. You could

239
00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:23.159
reside it perfectly.

240
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:27.639
On Saturday, you will appear before the country in our

241
00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:34.639
national network in ceremonial roles as Queen Amara. That's the

242
00:15:34.840 --> 00:15:37.679
day after tomorrow, Joe Coronation Day.

243
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:39.440
Let us discuss my fee.

244
00:15:39.919 --> 00:15:44.000
A certified check for twenty five thousand dollars has already

245
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:48.120
been deposited in your bank. The royal plane leaves at

246
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:58.679
seven this evening. You will be picked up here at five. Gooday, Well, what.

247
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:01.519
Do you say now? Still think you're dreaming?

248
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:01.879
Clock?

249
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:08.440
Come on the Grand Yukosan the Kingdom of Doran, the

250
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:15.000
Warrior Queen. Oh, it's a crazy fantasy dream mixture of

251
00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:18.600
a thousand plays I've been in or read.

252
00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:29.240
Well, is it a dream or isn't it? Whatever it is,

253
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:32.480
Josephine Denison is in the grip of it. I'll be

254
00:16:32.600 --> 00:16:47.960
back with both dreams and realities in just a few moments.

255
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:53.159
Every actress yearns for a dream, part. But Josephine Denison

256
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.519
is convinced she is playing a part in a dream.

257
00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:00.559
But for an actress, the only reality is the theater,

258
00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:05.319
and so awake or asleep, she is determined to prepare

259
00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:06.240
for the part of the.

260
00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:07.240
Queen of dal Ran.

261
00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:11.759
How does an absolute monarch hold her head her shoulders?

262
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:17.880
What is a regal smile, a royal frown, an imperial gesture?

263
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:22.519
Joe, don't you want to think about this? Think about what? Well?

264
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:26.640
It's it's now just ten minutes before noon. A man

265
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:29.359
offers you a check. He's not just a man, he's

266
00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:32.640
a grand duke. In five hours you'll be out of

267
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:35.720
the country. What's the problem. Shouldn't you check this out

268
00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:41.119
a bit more carefully? It's all happening too quickly. Suppose

269
00:17:41.119 --> 00:17:44.519
there's some danger involved selling. Nothing can happen to me.

270
00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:49.359
Why do you say that this is only a dream? Look, look,

271
00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:52.319
you'll call your bank ask if the money was deposited.

272
00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:56.920
Of course it was. We'll call them. Do me the favor, certainly.

273
00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:01.359
Is there anything else you want me to do?

274
00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:01.720
Oh?

275
00:18:01.839 --> 00:18:06.920
Please take this thing seriously? Yes, Oh, mister Howland please

276
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:11.079
and also called Jimmy Higgins. This is miss Dennison, has

277
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:13.599
a deposit been made to my account today? I know

278
00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:16.480
Jimmy hasn't done much for you lately. That's the understatement

279
00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:16.920
of the year.

280
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:17.960
How much.

281
00:18:19.279 --> 00:18:26.039
A certified check for twenty five thousand dollars? Thank you? Oh?

282
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:30.480
You should have heard the tone of absolute deference in

283
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:37.279
that little flunky's voice. He made me feel like a queen.

284
00:18:44.400 --> 00:18:46.960
Just a minute.

285
00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:50.400
Yes, are you, miss Josephine Dennison?

286
00:18:50.839 --> 00:18:54.279
Oh well, that's hardly a flattering question to ask an actress.

287
00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:56.480
I'm not in the flattery business.

288
00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:58.920
Well, whatever business you're in, I'm afraid I don't have

289
00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:01.160
time to talk to you about to leave the country.

290
00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:03.799
I'm in the intelligence business with your government.

291
00:19:04.160 --> 00:19:05.079
I beg your pardon.

292
00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:07.920
My name is Harold Foster, my credentials.

293
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:10.640
Oh well, I'm impressed.

294
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:11.640
May I come in?

295
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:15.799
Well I'll have to pack while we talk. Sit down anywhere?

296
00:19:16.319 --> 00:19:21.599
Thank you, miss Dennison. Why are you going to Dhrhan?

297
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:26.039
Why is that your affair? Your government is interested? Why

298
00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:29.920
you're the first American private citizen who has been permitted

299
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:34.319
to enter that country in fifty years? Really, Darrhn is

300
00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:38.640
an absolute monarchy. The queen rules by divine right. She

301
00:19:38.759 --> 00:19:40.519
holds the power of life and death.

302
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:42.400
Sounds medieval, it is.

303
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:44.920
Why are you going there?

304
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:49.160
I've been invited to appear in their millennial celebration, to

305
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:51.799
play the part of their legendary queen.

306
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:54.720
I find that difficult to believe, do you?

307
00:19:55.000 --> 00:19:55.319
Why?

308
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:59.559
How had they ever heard of you, mister Foster? I

309
00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:02.920
admit I haven't been working lately, but I am a

310
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:04.279
rather well known actress.

311
00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:07.519
The most famous actress in the world would still be

312
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:09.240
unknown to the natives of Dalran.

313
00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:10.920
And why do you say that, mister Foster?

314
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:13.440
Because the monarchy does not allow the import of any

315
00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:17.039
foreign films, or books or publications of any sort. How

316
00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:20.880
do you know, miss Denison? It's a fact the monarchy

317
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:25.039
is afraid the pure and innocent and orthodox minds of

318
00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:29.359
the Dalrnese will be subverted by dangerous democratic ideas.

319
00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:32.519
But I have been informed that I am the favorite

320
00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:34.480
actress of the Dalranese.

321
00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:38.839
My films, my team impossible. No American film has ever

322
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:40.240
been permitted to be shown there.

323
00:20:40.400 --> 00:20:42.599
Suppose I were to tell you that the movie fan

324
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:46.839
magazines in dalran are constantly filled with articles about me.

325
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:49.960
It would be my sad duty to inform you that

326
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:54.240
you're mistaken. Why because it's impossible. There are no movie

327
00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:58.119
fan magazines in Daarran. There aren't, definitely not. We've been

328
00:20:58.119 --> 00:21:01.880
assured by our experts on Dalwiniza affairs that such trivial

329
00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:04.960
publications are banned in the interest of the state.

330
00:21:05.119 --> 00:21:08.880
It's comforting to know that we have such knowledgeable experts.

331
00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:14.480
Would you care to look at these? Well, obviously these

332
00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:20.200
are Dalrynese magazines. Obviously they are about the movies. Obviously

333
00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:25.920
those are my pictures. But this is it's.

334
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:27.079
May.

335
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:32.359
May I take these back to the office, certainly, mister Dennison.

336
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:38.480
Could you postpone your trip. There's something about this entire setup.

337
00:21:39.319 --> 00:21:43.200
I don't like it. I say this for your own safety.

338
00:21:43.400 --> 00:21:46.000
What could happen to me, mister Dennison. I wish you

339
00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:46.640
would listen.

340
00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:49.640
I have a commitment to appear before the camera is

341
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:50.759
the day after tomorrow.

342
00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:52.720
I'm asking you to wait.

343
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:54.319
And I'm asking you to tell me why.

344
00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:58.079
All I have to go on is my instinct as

345
00:21:58.079 --> 00:21:59.160
an intelligence officer?

346
00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:01.680
Is your instinct worth twenty five thousand dollars?

347
00:22:03.039 --> 00:22:04.960
I know it's a lot of money.

348
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:08.079
And even if they weren't paying me a nickel, I

349
00:22:08.279 --> 00:22:09.160
go no matter what.

350
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:13.000
I'm afraid I don't understand why.

351
00:22:13.319 --> 00:22:16.200
It's very simple. The show must go on.

352
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:32.440
Well, how do I look magnificent? You are the queen,

353
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:33.839
the warrior queen.

354
00:22:34.000 --> 00:22:35.480
Why did you want me in costume?

355
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:40.119
It is not a costume, my dear. This is how

356
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:43.400
every Queen of Darran has dressed since I'm Aara the first.

357
00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:47.279
When we land at the airport, we shall be greeted

358
00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:50.559
by a god of honor, a band, a crowd. You

359
00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:53.680
have no idea how popular you are in my country,

360
00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:56.880
but a guard of honor. Everyone knows you shall be

361
00:22:56.960 --> 00:22:59.559
portraying our ancient and holy queen. I'm hear.

362
00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:03.359
Couldn't I just go quietly to my hotel and study

363
00:23:03.400 --> 00:23:03.960
my lines?

364
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:06.440
Let near you speak them again?

365
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:10.400
May D two d, May.

366
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:13.839
Spoking like a native.

367
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:16.559
What does it mean?

368
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:22.160
Our first Queen, our immortal Amara, stood triumphantly on the

369
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:27.680
battlefield and said, in God's name, I conquer. In God's name,

370
00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:44.200
I who this fantastic home was never like this was it?

371
00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:45.079
Why?

372
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:47.359
Why are they so fond of you?

373
00:23:49.119 --> 00:23:51.480
You know it's I can feed.

374
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:55.240
The crowd people bolling feeling.

375
00:23:55.680 --> 00:24:01.680
Why Milama, you the ancient creed?

376
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:05.119
I never thought anything. She's responsible.

377
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:08.000
You have never lived in a mother heire, Oh, but

378
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:11.000
you must be tired. I shall rady on the escort

379
00:24:11.039 --> 00:24:13.920
to move quickly. Where am I staying as a royal

380
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:16.400
guest who must stay at the Color?

381
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:25.559
Oh it's the most magnificent room I've ever seen.

382
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:28.119
I am sure you must be very tired.

383
00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:34.240
I am strange. You can get tired of dreaming. I

384
00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:36.599
hope I don't wake up before my great speech.

385
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:42.039
Everything you will need is here, and this is Tegla.

386
00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:44.720
She does not speak a word of English, but you

387
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:46.799
will find her a splend in may.

388
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:52.000
Why she's Oh, she's beautiful with her looks, and well

389
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:52.519
she should.

390
00:24:53.119 --> 00:24:57.559
She could go far in that run. One follows the

391
00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:02.759
fortunes of one's family for a thousand years. The women

392
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:09.079
in her family were servants. That's an excellent arrangement. People

393
00:25:09.119 --> 00:25:12.400
know their place, they know who they are, what they

394
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:16.880
are was required of them. That's we have no problems

395
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:20.680
of identity, no feelings of insecurity.

396
00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:22.200
I think that's ridiculous.

397
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:26.440
Obviously we differ till tomorrow.

398
00:25:27.920 --> 00:25:39.880
Good night. Well, Tecla, is that your name? Or I

399
00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:45.160
don't think I'll need anything, so you're free to go. Oh,

400
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:52.880
I forget you don't speak English. I speak English. Oh, oh,

401
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:58.799
well that's great. I need I want culture.

402
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:02.200
In my mother's.

403
00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:09.359
Time, culture people speak French. Before then, culture people speak German.

404
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:20.960
Today culture people speak English. Even you, even Queen, you

405
00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:28.200
do not speak Drm. You speak English? Did you say

406
00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:35.640
I was the queen? I work hard to get job

407
00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:39.799
in palace, so one.

408
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:43.079
Day I can kill you?

409
00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:49.799
What do you saying? For one thousand years you and

410
00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:57.920
nobility have oppressed common people. Now you pay.

411
00:26:58.200 --> 00:26:58.799
But I'm not.

412
00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:04.920
Look, I'm not I'm a movie actress. What is movie?

413
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:11.200
I am Josephine Dennison. I'm dal Ryan's favorite actress. You

414
00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:16.000
are Queen Amara. Hey will kill you?

415
00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:16.440
Hey?

416
00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:20.359
Put down that nine in name of the people. All right,

417
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:21.920
I might just as well get out of the stream

418
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:22.440
right now.

419
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:27.240
I kill you in name of freedom.

420
00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:37.359
Oh I don't wake up? Oh why don't I wake up?

421
00:27:45.799 --> 00:27:49.400
Why doesn't she wake up? There can be only one reason.

422
00:27:50.039 --> 00:27:53.599
Perhaps she wasn't asleep in the first place. One thing

423
00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:57.400
should be obvious. It's a hazardous business to impersonate a

424
00:27:57.480 --> 00:27:58.079
queen in.

425
00:27:58.000 --> 00:27:59.200
A country like dal Ryan.

426
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:04.640
Evidently they take these things quite seriously. I'll be back

427
00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:19.920
shortly without three. There are people who find excitement in dreams.

428
00:28:20.759 --> 00:28:24.720
The dream world can be filled with the most dangerous hazards,

429
00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:29.720
and these can be faced boldly, resolutely, without hesitation, because,

430
00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:34.200
after all, what can happen at the point where one

431
00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:37.559
falls into the sea among the ravenous sharks, or the

432
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:40.759
split second before the bullet enters the brain or the

433
00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:44.240
knife pierces the heart, one wakes up and is saved.

434
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:49.200
Josephine Dennison has been counting on being rescued by reality.

435
00:28:49.880 --> 00:28:50.640
But she has.

436
00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:53.440
Already taken the point of the knife, and there is

437
00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:59.119
blood and pain, and either she isn't waking up or

438
00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:01.359
she's been wider awake all the time.

439
00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:13.880
No die I, oh no, I cannot I see blood?

440
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:15.839
I cannot.

441
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:24.000
I cannot murder. Oh, get me handkerchiefs. Oh some cold water,

442
00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:31.359
kill me? Kill me? Hi dezzer to die and nobody's

443
00:29:31.440 --> 00:29:34.279
going to die. Oh? What am I doing here? Why

444
00:29:34.279 --> 00:29:35.039
don't I wake up?

445
00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:36.519
For years?

446
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:42.680
I have blown to kill the queen to free deep people.

447
00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:46.680
I'm not dreaming. Will I see blood?

448
00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:51.720
I have no courage.

449
00:29:52.079 --> 00:29:56.039
Oh kill me, kill me? You'll I?

450
00:29:56.559 --> 00:29:57.559
Oh shut up?

451
00:29:57.599 --> 00:30:01.440
Will you? I have raised my hand to my ruler.

452
00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:04.119
I must die that's enough.

453
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:05.240
I'm not the queen.

454
00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:10.960
You know me. I'm Josephine Dennison, Jesus, and it is

455
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:14.599
your favorite actress, the biggest hit in all dal ran

456
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:18.160
I have never heard. I have come here to read

457
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:22.599
the speech of Queen Amara in the millennial celebration. Yes,

458
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:30.559
Queen Amara, you are Queen Amara. No, I'm not the Queen.

459
00:30:31.160 --> 00:30:34.359
I'm an actress dressed as the queen.

460
00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:36.319
Hat it is.

461
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:41.319
Dance for any to dress is the Queen. I'm going

462
00:30:41.400 --> 00:30:44.720
to read the Queen's speech, the speech Queen Amara the

463
00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:48.640
first made a thousand years ago speech. Yes, the speech,

464
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:57.279
the speech that begins two shad no, no, what's the matter.

465
00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:04.960
I try to kill you they before I know you?

466
00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:05.079
What?

467
00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:11.599
You are good kind who do not? Do not leave us?

468
00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:14.079
Do not do not.

469
00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:22.039
What What is English word in in th run means

470
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:24.480
step down from throne.

471
00:31:24.200 --> 00:31:31.079
Abdicate, do not abdicate. You are good who. But I'm

472
00:31:31.079 --> 00:31:34.920
not saying anything like that. It means in God's name,

473
00:31:35.000 --> 00:31:41.480
I conquer. In God's name I rule. It means they

474
00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:45.359
may eat, they do they mean is they do?

475
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.759
It means in God's I.

476
00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:58.160
I am unworthy. In God's name, I abdicate well that's

477
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:05.519
that's in impossible. Oh why do I say it's impossible? Tecla, listen,

478
00:32:06.160 --> 00:32:09.039
listen to the rest of the speech and tell me

479
00:32:09.960 --> 00:32:10.799
what it means.

480
00:32:17.720 --> 00:32:20.720
Yeah, that's a guy. So when I threw out of

481
00:32:20.759 --> 00:32:22.119
my office, it's Jesseph.

482
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:25.160
Is he the man the one who made Miss Dennis

483
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:25.599
in the offer?

484
00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:27.680
There's no doubt at all in my mind.

485
00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:30.119
Oh, what kind of a con artist we're dealing with him,

486
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:30.720
mister Foster.

487
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:33.799
He's not a con artist. He's actually the Grand Duke

488
00:32:33.960 --> 00:32:35.000
Arsan of Dalrn.

489
00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:36.880
You mean there is such a guy.

490
00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:39.000
There is such a place.

491
00:32:39.160 --> 00:32:42.839
Oh yes, if everything's on the level, where are we worried,

492
00:32:43.480 --> 00:32:45.519
especially the government in the first place?

493
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:49.240
There is no such thing in Darlron as a millennial celebration.

494
00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:51.039
Well then why would the guy.

495
00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:53.640
There's no movie fan magazines published there either.

496
00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:56.720
I saw them, and you've got them on your desk.

497
00:32:56.799 --> 00:33:00.720
These are fakes. They were printed over here. But guys, legit,

498
00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:02.880
what's with the phonny story?

499
00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:08.160
I have a picture here. Recognize it? Yeah, sure, it's Joe,

500
00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:09.680
Miss Jessep.

501
00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:13.839
Well, she never wore her hair like that, but it's Joe.

502
00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:18.400
No, it's Queen Amara of dal Ram.

503
00:33:18.960 --> 00:33:24.640
The queen, but she looks she's the image of Joe for.

504
00:33:24.759 --> 00:33:27.559
A reason we're unaware of. They want somebody in that

505
00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:29.279
country to impersonate the queen.

506
00:33:29.640 --> 00:33:30.880
What's going to happen to Joe?

507
00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:32.279
Hopefully nothing?

508
00:33:32.680 --> 00:33:33.160
What do you mean?

509
00:33:33.279 --> 00:33:33.680
Hopefully?

510
00:33:34.279 --> 00:33:36.160
It's a very violent country.

511
00:33:36.480 --> 00:33:39.400
Tomorrow she'll be on the National Network. At least we

512
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:40.880
know she'll be okay till then.

513
00:33:41.039 --> 00:33:43.400
Now, Look, you just can't sit her out here and

514
00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:44.000
do nothing.

515
00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:46.799
I'm not going to be sitting around here. I'm leaving

516
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:47.480
for Dalram.

517
00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:56.119
I don't believe it. I can't believe it. In this

518
00:33:56.279 --> 00:34:05.640
speech you say, I am to weak, do ill, do unworthy.

519
00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:15.199
I abdicate my throne in favor of Eola Arti. Eola Artie,

520
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:20.800
that's someone's name. Yes, that is sister of Grand Duke

521
00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:24.920
arsan Ah. Let me get this whole business straight. The

522
00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:28.679
Grand Duke wants to get his sister made the queen,

523
00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:32.599
so he creates a story to get me here to

524
00:34:32.800 --> 00:34:36.360
pose as the present queen and abdicate in her favor.

525
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:39.280
Do you understand what I'm telling you?

526
00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:40.039
No?

527
00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:43.519
How does he know your people will accept his sister

528
00:34:43.679 --> 00:34:44.280
as the queen?

529
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:45.039
Ah?

530
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:50.280
The old Queen appoint new queen. What do you mean

531
00:34:51.079 --> 00:34:56.480
when old queen wish to rule no more? He a point,

532
00:34:57.079 --> 00:34:59.000
new queen? Where is the queen?

533
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:01.480
The queen?

534
00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:08.719
The queen is here? You are cool now, No, I'm

535
00:35:08.880 --> 00:35:13.760
talking about the queen. Where is the real queen?

536
00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:27.400
The Queen? Well, you see the queen is not well. Oh,

537
00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:33.159
in the ordinary way she would read the traditional speech.

538
00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:40.440
But since she's indisposed, you are as you would say

539
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:43.599
in your country, a pinch hitting.

540
00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:48.840
Oh. Then I suppose we could say that I'm not

541
00:35:49.000 --> 00:35:53.519
here as an actress playing a part. I'm actually posing

542
00:35:54.119 --> 00:35:54.800
as the queen.

543
00:35:55.480 --> 00:35:56.320
Precisely.

544
00:35:56.960 --> 00:35:58.079
That isn't quite the way this.

545
00:35:58.239 --> 00:35:59.199
Job was sold to me.

546
00:35:59.639 --> 00:35:59.840
Ah.

547
00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:03.880
Well, and my opening lines do not really mean in

548
00:36:03.960 --> 00:36:06.280
God's name, I conquer in God's.

549
00:36:06.039 --> 00:36:09.800
Name, I rule na. What do they mean.

550
00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:16.239
In God's name? I am unworthy? In God's name, I abdicate.

551
00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:18.960
Whatever gave you such an idea.

552
00:36:18.719 --> 00:36:22.400
And I abdicate in favor of iola Rd, who happens

553
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:30.039
to be your sister. So what has become of the queen?

554
00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:35.239
Queen? Amara is dead? Really?

555
00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:37.360
How did it happen?

556
00:36:38.519 --> 00:36:41.800
Let us say her time had come?

557
00:36:42.119 --> 00:36:45.800
Ah, and who knows about it? In addition to you

558
00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:48.880
and me a small select group.

559
00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:54.199
No doubt is you have a brilliant woman his days.

560
00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:56.719
And afterward what was supposed to become of me?

561
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:02.239
In time you would be really quietly and you could

562
00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:03.119
return home.

563
00:37:03.360 --> 00:37:07.559
That's an unfortunate word released. It implies that I would

564
00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:08.119
be a prisoner.

565
00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:13.400
Well, you are a prisoner. You will be in a

566
00:37:13.559 --> 00:37:18.360
form of custody, restricted to an estate in a remote province,

567
00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:22.159
and you would live comfortably, even luxury as well.

568
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:25.599
I'm not interested in the part as it has been rewritten,

569
00:37:26.440 --> 00:37:29.480
and I shall not appear. May I have a lift

570
00:37:29.559 --> 00:37:30.159
to the airport?

571
00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:31.880
I'm afraid not.

572
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:34.360
You can't force me to read that speech.

573
00:37:35.159 --> 00:37:36.639
Would you rather be shot?

574
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:37.599
Oh?

575
00:37:37.960 --> 00:37:43.840
I see, the sophistication is only a venier. You're basically

576
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:44.679
a barbarian.

577
00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:51.039
You have, as I said, two choices. Read the speech

578
00:37:52.280 --> 00:37:52.679
or die.

579
00:37:52.960 --> 00:37:54.559
You think you can get away with killing me?

580
00:37:57.599 --> 00:38:05.079
Duke Carsan, Oh oh yes, yes, indeed I shall speak

581
00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:15.960
with him, immediately show him into the audience chamber. How

582
00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:18.239
may I serve you, mister.

583
00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:23.400
Foster, Your highness, I wish to speak with Josephine Dennison.

584
00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:25.519
Miss Dennis Hunt.

585
00:38:25.639 --> 00:38:28.639
Yes, she is here to portray your queen.

586
00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:33.159
Mister Foster, if you knew anything at all about our customs,

587
00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:35.960
you would know it is sacrilege for an act.

588
00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:38.719
We knows that you engaged during New York City for

589
00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:40.159
precisely this purpose.

590
00:38:40.920 --> 00:38:44.840
Who dares accuse me of this? Utterly false and criminal.

591
00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:51.840
I resented this baseless accusation, this slur by my personal

592
00:38:51.960 --> 00:38:55.960
integrity or highness. I have never heard of miss Josephine Denison.

593
00:38:57.320 --> 00:39:01.599
I have never met Miss Josephine Denison. I can tell

594
00:39:01.639 --> 00:39:07.079
you nothing of Miss Josephine that is on, and that's

595
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:18.719
a must. End the matter? Well, Miss Dennison, obviously there

596
00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:21.239
shall be no international incident.

597
00:39:21.840 --> 00:39:24.239
How do I know that I won't be quietly disposed

598
00:39:24.280 --> 00:39:26.039
of after I addlicate?

599
00:39:26.559 --> 00:39:29.000
What more people would I have for giving you?

600
00:39:29.239 --> 00:39:31.559
How do I know I won't be shot or killed afterward?

601
00:39:31.840 --> 00:39:35.679
Refuse to deliver this speech and you will be killed immediately.

602
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:41.039
This way, at least you can enjoy this suspense.

603
00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:50.960
Please, your majesty will not live.

604
00:39:51.159 --> 00:39:52.400
Look, Tetler, how.

605
00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:54.079
Many times do I have to tell you I'm not

606
00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:54.800
the queen?

607
00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:56.239
You are the queen?

608
00:39:56.400 --> 00:39:59.880
Why do you think I'm the queen? Because God say

609
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:03.800
you are queen? And I see now you are a

610
00:40:04.000 --> 00:40:09.119
good queen. Tell me if you were queen. A queen,

611
00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:14.199
suppose God says tech class shall be queen, what would

612
00:40:14.239 --> 00:40:18.440
you do? What would I do? You wanted to kill

613
00:40:18.519 --> 00:40:21.920
me because I was bad? What would a good queen do?

614
00:40:23.320 --> 00:40:28.159
A good queen would help the people, the poor people,

615
00:40:28.920 --> 00:40:35.719
peasant people. A good queen would not be Queen of darkness,

616
00:40:36.440 --> 00:40:42.320
a queen of darkness, or queen our queen of darkness.

617
00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:47.639
I see, what are you going to do? My dear?

618
00:40:49.119 --> 00:40:55.079
I shall wait, I shall wait for God to tell me.

619
00:41:02.599 --> 00:41:03.679
He is of her.

620
00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:10.800
Nobles, tree, soldiers and people.

621
00:41:11.960 --> 00:41:20.920
Silence or the queen of dogess speak speak people of

622
00:41:21.079 --> 00:41:21.719
dal Ran.

623
00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:25.239
I choose to speak in English?

624
00:41:25.639 --> 00:41:26.159
What are you?

625
00:41:26.599 --> 00:41:27.719
I am Queen?

626
00:41:28.599 --> 00:41:31.079
A divine voice speaks within me.

627
00:41:31.519 --> 00:41:33.199
She's not the queen.

628
00:41:33.280 --> 00:41:33.880
Haress him.

629
00:41:34.599 --> 00:41:39.440
Listen to me, people, She is silencing God.

630
00:41:41.119 --> 00:41:42.360
To remove him.

631
00:41:44.679 --> 00:41:49.199
People. I have been commanded by the divine voice to

632
00:41:49.400 --> 00:41:54.360
abdicate the throne. It is to be my fate to

633
00:41:54.559 --> 00:41:58.880
leave this lovely country. I have been commanded to appoint

634
00:41:58.920 --> 00:42:03.119
a new queen. From now on, the Queen shall no

635
00:42:03.280 --> 00:42:06.840
longer be a queen of darkness. She shall be known

636
00:42:07.679 --> 00:42:11.760
as the Queen of light. The divine voice within me

637
00:42:11.880 --> 00:42:17.320
commands that the first queen of light shall be Tecla.

638
00:42:18.400 --> 00:42:24.800
Your majesty, I kneel before the new queen. Let the

639
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:30.719
multitude kneel also, what, your majesty, you wanted to help

640
00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:34.159
your people. Let's see you do it. How will you

641
00:42:34.239 --> 00:42:38.480
turn out a queen of light or a queen of darkness?

642
00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:51.559
But I, hey, the queen, how can I do? Thank you?

643
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:53.800
What can I do for you?

644
00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:56.760
Put me on the first plane headed for America.

645
00:43:02.079 --> 00:43:05.320
You remember, of course, the queen who abdicated some time

646
00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:09.039
ago and came here. She pursued a rather successful career

647
00:43:09.119 --> 00:43:12.800
as an actress. She reminded so many people of an

648
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:17.360
actress Josephine Dennis Denson, something like that.

649
00:43:18.239 --> 00:43:19.440
You know how it is in showbiz.

650
00:43:19.960 --> 00:43:22.440
People come and go like skyrockets.

651
00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:25.960
They flare up in momentary brilliance and then fall silently

652
00:43:26.079 --> 00:43:31.000
into the unknown darkness. I, however, shall return with some

653
00:43:31.239 --> 00:43:32.840
light in just a few.

654
00:43:32.679 --> 00:43:45.360
Moments, power things in Dahran.

655
00:43:46.079 --> 00:43:48.440
What kind of queen did Tecla turn out to be?

656
00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:52.599
I'm sorry, we only give you one story at a time.

657
00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:58.280
It is certainly the classic situation the idealistic young reformer

658
00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:02.320
who wishes to change the system suddenly acquires unlimited power.

659
00:44:03.119 --> 00:44:09.800
Who changes what changes the system or the reformer? Well,

660
00:44:09.960 --> 00:44:13.440
we don't have definite answers to these philosophical questions, but

661
00:44:13.920 --> 00:44:18.360
you must admit we certainly kick them around. Our cast

662
00:44:18.440 --> 00:44:22.440
included Julie Harris, Robert Dryden, E. V. Jester and Gordon Gould.

663
00:44:23.199 --> 00:44:26.239
The entire production was under the direction of Hyman Brown.

664
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:34.440
Well, my dear, how about another cup of hot tea?

665
00:44:35.639 --> 00:44:41.559
It's just about ready. I smell the aromas, telling me

666
00:44:42.599 --> 00:44:50.920
comfort is here. Well, at least in theory, I suppose,

667
00:44:51.920 --> 00:44:58.199
Oh what's that? Well, if it's hot, the warmth might

668
00:44:58.760 --> 00:45:05.960
take to us. No more fear, no more cold, no

669
00:45:06.239 --> 00:45:13.440
more dare I say? Dark? Dark destiny?

670
00:45:22.079 --> 00:45:24.719
Mutual presents the mysterious Traveler.

671
00:45:32.239 --> 00:45:35.440
This is the mysterious Traveler inviting you to join me

672
00:45:35.679 --> 00:45:37.920
on another journey into the realm of the strange and

673
00:45:38.039 --> 00:45:41.239
the terrifying. I hope you will enjoy the trip, that

674
00:45:41.360 --> 00:45:43.800
it will thrill you a little and the chill you

675
00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:46.519
a little. So settle back, get a good rip on

676
00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:55.639
your nerves, and be comfortable if you can. What is

677
00:45:55.719 --> 00:45:58.679
our story tonight? Why tonight we're going to see what

678
00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:03.119
happens when Alhana's man yields to temptation and descends into

679
00:46:03.159 --> 00:46:05.360
the murky depths of murder and despair.

680
00:46:06.239 --> 00:46:12.880
It's the story I call dark Dark destiny.

681
00:46:18.800 --> 00:46:22.079
In the office of doctor William Norris, Joseph Harrison, a

682
00:46:22.159 --> 00:46:25.800
man in his thirties is waiting anxiously as in the

683
00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:29.119
next room, doctor Norris is finishing his examination of pretty

684
00:46:29.199 --> 00:46:30.480
young Mary Harrison.

685
00:46:31.880 --> 00:46:36.039
It isn't anything serious, is it, Doctor Norris. Please tell

686
00:46:36.079 --> 00:46:36.519
me it isn't.

687
00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:40.400
I'm afraid it's too soon to say, Missus Harrison. Until

688
00:46:40.440 --> 00:46:42.559
the X ray plates are developed, I can't say yes

689
00:46:42.719 --> 00:46:46.320
or no. Now your husband is waiting outside, and he's

690
00:46:46.360 --> 00:46:47.480
probably beginning to worry.

691
00:46:47.519 --> 00:46:50.880
So poor Joe, he does worry about me.

692
00:46:52.119 --> 00:46:54.599
Well, here's your wife, mister Harrison, who must have thought

693
00:46:54.599 --> 00:46:55.320
I'd kidnapped her.

694
00:46:55.559 --> 00:46:57.440
No, but I was getting a little worried. Doctor, I

695
00:46:57.519 --> 00:46:59.679
hope you didn't find anything very wrong.

696
00:47:00.000 --> 00:47:02.320
Well, I took a complete X ray series. I won't

697
00:47:02.320 --> 00:47:05.000
be able to tell much until they developed. I'd like

698
00:47:05.119 --> 00:47:07.440
missus Harrison to come back the day after tomorrow if

699
00:47:07.480 --> 00:47:10.519
she can, of course, Doctor any time in the day

700
00:47:10.559 --> 00:47:13.679
that's convenient to you will be quite all right. I meanwhile,

701
00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:16.159
I'll write out a prescription your husband can have filled.

702
00:47:16.920 --> 00:47:19.119
Will you step in a minute, mister Harrison, Sure thing.

703
00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:24.599
Won't you sit down, mister Harrison?

704
00:47:25.039 --> 00:47:27.000
Hi, what is it?

705
00:47:27.079 --> 00:47:33.079
Doctor? Bad news? I'm afraid so? Does that mean Mary's

706
00:47:33.599 --> 00:47:34.159
trying to die?

707
00:47:34.320 --> 00:47:37.960
No, mister Harrison, not that serious. But within a few

708
00:47:38.000 --> 00:47:41.840
months she will be confined to her bed. I'm afraid

709
00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:45.760
she faces a life of invalidism. Oh no, no, I

710
00:47:45.920 --> 00:47:47.880
can't be I'm sorry, mister Harrison.

711
00:47:48.239 --> 00:47:50.280
There must be something you can do for well.

712
00:47:51.119 --> 00:47:53.119
Well, I don't want to raise your hopes, but yeah,

713
00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:56.559
there's one doctor in this country who, through a very

714
00:47:56.679 --> 00:47:59.679
remarkable type of operation, has been able to help people

715
00:47:59.760 --> 00:47:59.880
like you.

716
00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:01.719
Why didn't you say so, let's get him?

717
00:48:01.840 --> 00:48:01.960
Well?

718
00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:04.800
I must warn you, mister Harrison, this operation doesn't always

719
00:48:04.840 --> 00:48:08.239
meet with success. In many cases the patient shows no

720
00:48:08.400 --> 00:48:11.960
improvement at all. After all, it's still in the experimental stay.

721
00:48:12.000 --> 00:48:13.760
There's one chance in a hundred. I want Mary to

722
00:48:13.800 --> 00:48:16.960
have that chance. Please get this doctor to operate on

723
00:48:17.039 --> 00:48:17.480
my wife.

724
00:48:17.679 --> 00:48:18.559
All right, I'll try it.

725
00:48:19.320 --> 00:48:23.800
But his services are in great demand, and his average

726
00:48:23.840 --> 00:48:27.679
fever an operation is about fifteen hundred dollars fifteen hundred,

727
00:48:27.880 --> 00:48:30.519
because if you can't afford that, he might consider the second.

728
00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:32.280
No, I can afford it. I can afford anything that

729
00:48:32.320 --> 00:48:33.480
Mary needs very well.

730
00:48:33.519 --> 00:48:34.880
Then I'll get in touch with him. It well, I'm

731
00:48:34.880 --> 00:48:37.000
sure you make the arrangements right away. I'll get hold

732
00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:38.880
of the money. I'll have it by tomorrow.

733
00:48:39.039 --> 00:48:55.320
Sure, Darling, help me off with my coat when you're sure?

734
00:48:55.480 --> 00:48:57.840
Sure? How are you feeling?

735
00:48:58.079 --> 00:48:58.199
Oh?

736
00:48:58.280 --> 00:48:59.880
My back ache is much better since I took them

737
00:49:00.000 --> 00:49:02.719
as doctor Norris gave me. I'm sure I'm going to

738
00:49:02.760 --> 00:49:04.519
be all right, Joe, crush you I.

739
00:49:04.760 --> 00:49:07.360
He's one of the best doctors in the city. They'll

740
00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:10.679
have you well in no time. Did he tell you

741
00:49:10.800 --> 00:49:15.960
anything more, Joe, No, not a thing except that the

742
00:49:16.000 --> 00:49:17.360
treatment may take a little time.

743
00:49:18.079 --> 00:49:21.920
That's all a little time. Yeah, Oh, dear, I hope

744
00:49:21.920 --> 00:49:25.360
it won't be too expensive. Your business has fallen off

745
00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:27.440
and we've used up our saving Now, don't.

746
00:49:27.239 --> 00:49:29.320
You worry about the money. Don't you worry about anything?

747
00:49:29.880 --> 00:49:33.119
All right, Darling, I won't. But aren't you going to

748
00:49:33.199 --> 00:49:33.840
take your coat off?

749
00:49:34.440 --> 00:49:34.480
No?

750
00:49:34.719 --> 00:49:38.280
I I uh got to get that prescription the doctor

751
00:49:38.320 --> 00:49:40.159
gave me Phil. Now you just take it easy to

752
00:49:40.239 --> 00:49:42.280
like get back. I might stop in at the shop too.

753
00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:44.719
There's something and something I have to tend to.

754
00:50:00.360 --> 00:50:02.079
The denvers. I'm Joe Harrison.

755
00:50:02.440 --> 00:50:07.800
Oh yes, mister Hanson, and please sit down, thank you, eh.

756
00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:11.639
I see that you want to borrow fifteen hundred dollars

757
00:50:11.719 --> 00:50:12.000
from us.

758
00:50:12.159 --> 00:50:13.679
That's right, I've got to have it right away.

759
00:50:15.280 --> 00:50:19.239
Unfortunately, the security you wish to offer your home is

760
00:50:19.320 --> 00:50:20.039
what's wrong with it?

761
00:50:20.599 --> 00:50:23.000
To swallow a house in a good section. It's all

762
00:50:23.039 --> 00:50:26.239
in good repair. Houses are worth money these days.

763
00:50:26.239 --> 00:50:29.400
Quite true, But you already have a first and second

764
00:50:29.440 --> 00:50:33.239
mortgage on it, and I well, prices are falling, so

765
00:50:33.800 --> 00:50:35.400
I'm afraid we can't make any.

766
00:50:35.320 --> 00:50:37.400
Further loans on it. I've got to have the money.

767
00:50:37.440 --> 00:50:40.320
I've just gotta. I'm sorry to hear that, because there's

768
00:50:40.360 --> 00:50:41.440
nothing we can do to help you.

769
00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:45.000
And forget about the loan. I'll sellar house. Many people

770
00:50:45.079 --> 00:50:48.639
want houses, that's true too. I don't think you can

771
00:50:48.719 --> 00:50:52.079
possibly clear much over the mortgages on a sale two

772
00:50:52.159 --> 00:50:56.360
hundred dollars. Perhaps you see those mortgages we issued when

773
00:50:56.440 --> 00:51:00.199
prices were at their peak, and now well see you

774
00:51:00.239 --> 00:51:00.840
have changed.

775
00:51:01.360 --> 00:51:12.679
Yeah, yeah, I see they have. You say you're not employed,

776
00:51:12.760 --> 00:51:15.599
mister Harrison. No, I own a shop, you see, I'm

777
00:51:15.639 --> 00:51:16.239
a locksmith.

778
00:51:17.280 --> 00:51:20.800
That means you're never certain of your income. Now if

779
00:51:20.800 --> 00:51:23.039
you had a job, a regular income, that could be

780
00:51:23.199 --> 00:51:24.280
depended the party.

781
00:51:24.079 --> 00:51:25.559
You're getting at. You mean you're not gonna let me

782
00:51:25.599 --> 00:51:29.400
have the money. I'm afraid I can't. Mister Harrison. Your

783
00:51:29.440 --> 00:51:31.360
head say that you lend up to two thousand dollars

784
00:51:31.400 --> 00:51:33.719
on a personal note. I only want fifteen hundred dollars,

785
00:51:34.320 --> 00:51:35.440
but you got to let me have it.

786
00:51:35.559 --> 00:51:39.280
I certainly wish I could, but under the circumstances, I'm sorry,

787
00:51:39.599 --> 00:51:41.000
very sorry, but there's nothing I can do.

788
00:51:46.159 --> 00:51:49.639
I'm afraid the collateral you suggest isn't satisfactory. Mister Harrison.

789
00:51:50.199 --> 00:51:51.400
We'd lend you the money if.

790
00:51:51.320 --> 00:51:52.760
We could, but we just can't.

791
00:51:53.119 --> 00:51:57.480
Sorry, but I've just got to have it.

792
00:51:57.559 --> 00:51:58.079
I've got to.

793
00:51:58.400 --> 00:52:00.480
Sorry you hear me, I've got I have it.

794
00:52:00.800 --> 00:52:01.079
Sorry?

795
00:52:01.559 --> 00:52:03.119
Sorry, right, sorry?

796
00:52:03.360 --> 00:52:03.639
Sorry?

797
00:52:12.920 --> 00:52:18.599
Jill? You're not eating and he's so quiet? If anything wrong?

798
00:52:19.239 --> 00:52:19.280
What?

799
00:52:20.079 --> 00:52:22.679
Oh no, no, of course not.

800
00:52:23.679 --> 00:52:25.159
You're worrying about me, aren't you?

801
00:52:26.239 --> 00:52:29.760
No, Mary, of course not. I I uh, I was

802
00:52:29.840 --> 00:52:31.400
just thinking about some changes.

803
00:52:31.079 --> 00:52:31.559
At the shop.

804
00:52:31.719 --> 00:52:32.000
Darling.

805
00:52:32.079 --> 00:52:35.199
You don't have to lie to me. I know you're worrying,

806
00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:37.000
but I'm going to get that.

807
00:52:37.280 --> 00:52:37.920
Really I am.

808
00:52:38.280 --> 00:52:41.280
I promise sure, you are sure, doctor Narra said, So

809
00:52:41.400 --> 00:52:42.679
you're going to be well in no time.

810
00:52:44.159 --> 00:52:46.760
I have to go out now. I have an appointment

811
00:52:46.800 --> 00:52:49.440
with Horst Latimer. Can't remember I told you about him.

812
00:52:49.719 --> 00:52:52.400
We grew up together. I may be pretty late, so.

813
00:52:52.840 --> 00:52:53.679
Don't wait up for me.

814
00:53:00.039 --> 00:53:03.519
Joe had no appointment with Horace Latimer, but he went

815
00:53:03.559 --> 00:53:06.599
to see Horrace anyway, for they had been boyhood friends

816
00:53:06.920 --> 00:53:10.679
until their paths had separated. Horrors had grown rich, and

817
00:53:10.840 --> 00:53:13.559
Joe hoped desperately that Horace would lend him the money

818
00:53:13.639 --> 00:53:15.079
he had been trying to raise all day.

819
00:53:15.519 --> 00:53:17.880
There some that would mean nothing at all to Horace.

820
00:53:19.559 --> 00:53:23.800
Fifteen hundred dollars, that's rather a lot of money, Joe, No,

821
00:53:23.920 --> 00:53:24.519
it is Horace.

822
00:53:24.599 --> 00:53:25.280
But it's for Mary.

823
00:53:25.360 --> 00:53:27.079
It's for an operation. I've got to have it.

824
00:53:27.800 --> 00:53:30.880
I see, well, now, why don't you try the bank?

825
00:53:31.000 --> 00:53:33.719
You have a house. I had tried the bank and

826
00:53:33.760 --> 00:53:35.039
a half a dozen loan companies.

827
00:53:35.079 --> 00:53:37.199
They all turned me down. They said my security wasn't

828
00:53:37.239 --> 00:53:41.239
good enough. Oh I see, Oh that's too bad. Do

829
00:53:41.280 --> 00:53:44.639
you know I don't quite understand why you came to me, Joe.

830
00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:49.079
Because we're friends, That's why. Because when we were boys,

831
00:53:49.159 --> 00:53:50.840
we agreed that each of us would always lend the

832
00:53:50.880 --> 00:53:52.280
other helping hand if we could.

833
00:53:53.039 --> 00:53:56.440
Boys don't understand business very well, I'm fraid, Joe.

834
00:53:57.519 --> 00:53:58.000
I guess not.

835
00:53:58.920 --> 00:54:03.079
They don't understand business. They just understand friendship. You know,

836
00:54:03.159 --> 00:54:04.519
if I had the money, I'd lend it to you

837
00:54:04.599 --> 00:54:05.159
if you need it.

838
00:54:05.320 --> 00:54:07.280
I don't doubt that at all, Joe. And you can

839
00:54:07.320 --> 00:54:08.719
bet I'd lend it to you if I had it.

840
00:54:09.159 --> 00:54:12.000
But that's the trouble. I haven't any ready cash the

841
00:54:12.119 --> 00:54:15.400
income tax, you know, and well a couple of shaking

842
00:54:15.519 --> 00:54:18.840
investments that I'm trying to at hers.

843
00:54:18.920 --> 00:54:20.960
Never mind explaining I got the idea. You're not going

844
00:54:21.000 --> 00:54:22.079
to lend me any money.

845
00:54:21.920 --> 00:54:24.079
Now, really, Joe, I would if I could, but I can't.

846
00:54:24.960 --> 00:54:27.320
I'm sorry, said yes sorrow for somebody who wants it.

847
00:54:27.360 --> 00:54:29.519
I don't need your money, you hear. I'll get it

848
00:54:29.599 --> 00:54:39.800
someplace else. I'll get it someplace some whow After he

849
00:54:39.880 --> 00:54:43.840
had slammed out of Horace Sladom's expensive home, Joe stood

850
00:54:43.880 --> 00:54:44.639

851
00:54:44.719 --> 00:54:47.920
Dark street corner, staring back with bitterness.

852
00:54:47.960 --> 00:54:48.559
In his face.

853
00:54:49.199 --> 00:54:53.760
Yeah, you're sorry. I'll bet you are sap. I was

854
00:54:53.840 --> 00:54:57.880

856
00:55:03.840 --> 00:55:06.960

00:55:29.480 --> 00:55:31.960
to raise money, and so are you. But I only

864
00:55:32.000 --> 00:55:33.800

a mistake. I tell you, I don't live in this

A little money.

00:55:57.320 --> 00:55:58.880
this leather case. It's heavy enough.

875
00:55:59.159 --> 00:56:00.960
It's nothing in there but my emergency care.

876
00:56:01.000 --> 00:56:06.519
Well, I'll say for myself. Kid is full of skeleton

877
00:56:06.639 --> 00:56:10.159

887
00:56:29.159 --> 00:56:33.119
You'd be surprised, Pals. Okay, I'm putting the gun away,

Two more bears where well, Joe's the deal on my proposition? Hey, no, my,

00:57:07.159 --> 00:57:07.800
sure you do.

895
00:57:08.039 --> 00:57:08.920
There's nothing to it.

896
00:57:09.480 --> 00:57:12.400
You can open locks and safes. Yeah, I know a

897
00:57:12.519 --> 00:57:14.639
house where there's a safe with plenty of dough in it.

898
00:57:15.159 --> 00:57:16.880
You and me need to get it. We'll go get it.

899
00:57:17.199 --> 00:57:20.519
They'll make a team. But Burglary, I've never stolen anything

900
00:57:20.559 --> 00:57:21.000
in my life.

901
00:57:21.079 --> 00:57:23.920
Listen, you need dope bed dungeon instead of why plenty bad?

904
00:57:26.800 --> 00:57:28.840
Yeah, yeah I did. Then what are you hanging back for?

905
00:57:29.800 --> 00:57:31.599
All you got to do is get the back door

906
00:57:31.719 --> 00:57:34.880
open and they're safe. You can do that, can't you. Yeah?

907
00:57:34.920 --> 00:57:35.760
I suppose.

908
00:57:35.840 --> 00:57:38.920
So, then forget the butts. In a half an hour

909
00:57:39.000 --> 00:57:41.599
you'll have your fifteen hundred more. How else you ever

910
00:57:41.679 --> 00:57:45.239
gonna get it? Answer me that I don't know. Hey,

911
00:57:45.280 --> 00:57:47.840

912
00:57:47.960 --> 00:57:49.960
by guys with do how'd they get it?

913
00:57:50.199 --> 00:57:52.920
They took it from somebody else, every one of them. Yeah,

914
00:57:52.960 --> 00:57:56.159
I suppose, So be sure the money's there.

915
00:57:56.239 --> 00:57:58.960
I'm positive a guy was casing that joint and I

916
00:57:59.000 --> 00:58:00.519
looked in the window just in time to see the

917
00:58:00.599 --> 00:58:02.440
old geezer put a roll of bills in a safe

918
00:58:02.480 --> 00:58:03.679
you can open with your teeth.

919
00:58:04.039 --> 00:58:06.800
All right, I'll do it. I gotta have that money.

920
00:58:14.639 --> 00:58:18.159
And so half an hour later, Joe and his new founder,

921
00:58:18.239 --> 00:58:20.760
quaint And stood in the shadows of the rear entrance

922
00:58:20.760 --> 00:58:28.480
of an imposing brick house, listening intently. Not a sound

923
00:58:28.559 --> 00:58:31.239
any place, A good thing. There's no dogs or aud

924
00:58:32.400 --> 00:58:35.840
wanna climb. Everybody's hit the hanglong and go. This'll be

925
00:58:35.880 --> 00:58:39.800
a cinch. That lot looks easy enough, I shouldn't be

926
00:58:39.920 --> 00:58:42.440
doing this. Must be some other way to get the

927
00:58:42.480 --> 00:58:44.760
Money't be a sucker all your life. You gotta take

928
00:58:44.800 --> 00:58:47.119
what you want in this world. Go wand and get

929
00:58:47.159 --> 00:58:51.760
the door open. Gotta get inside before we're spotted. Well, alright,

930
00:58:53.519 --> 00:59:03.320

933
00:59:16.679 --> 00:59:18.239
this way. Don't make any noise.

934
00:59:18.760 --> 00:59:19.360
Sure, there's the way.

935
00:59:19.400 --> 00:59:20.199
The two of them are the dollars.

936
00:59:20.320 --> 00:59:23.760
Yeah, the old guy and has the butler, probably both

937
00:59:23.880 --> 00:59:24.800

938
00:59:26.039 --> 00:59:29.519
Here we are. Here's a library to it. Come on in.

939
00:59:31.480 --> 00:59:35.840
The safest behind a picture on this wall, a picture there. Yeah,

940
00:59:35.880 --> 00:59:41.360
that's the one I would pick out. And yeah, there's

941
00:59:41.400 --> 00:59:45.159
the safe. If the kid's toy, kids doing nothing, the

942
00:59:45.239 --> 00:59:48.079
baby's tough. Well you can hope, I can't. She Yeah,

943
00:59:48.119 --> 00:59:50.039
but it'll take at least half an hour and get going.

944
00:59:50.159 --> 00:59:51.559
We can't stay here all night.

945
01:00:06.559 --> 01:00:08.280
I'll way it up. You have been forty minutes on

946

01:00:08.920 --> 01:00:09.800
It told you it was tough.

948
01:00:10.840 --> 01:00:11.679
It's coming now.

949
01:00:14.199 --> 01:00:14.360

950
01:00:14.440 --> 01:00:19.639
Yeah, got time too. Let's see what's in it. There's

951
01:00:19.679 --> 01:00:22.920
the cash box. Well, I open it and we'll know

952
01:00:22.960 --> 01:00:23.639

953
01:00:26.039 --> 01:00:26.239
There.

954
01:00:26.440 --> 01:00:29.400
Look, oh, cash Mazuma, what did I tell you? There

955
01:00:29.440 --> 01:00:31.840

956
01:00:31.880 --> 01:00:34.159

957
01:00:34.199 --> 01:00:36.039

01:00:36.159 --> 01:00:38.039
keep the rest of your kidding. That's all I want.

959
01:00:38.360 --> 01:00:40.800
Just the fifteen hundred that I need. Okay, that's the

960
01:00:40.880 --> 01:00:41.480
way you want it.

961
01:00:42.280 --> 01:00:49.880
Here you are ten eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen hundred dollars.

962
01:00:49.880 --> 01:00:54.119
Fifteen hundred dollars just for an hour's work. Easy money.

963
01:00:54.199 --> 01:00:54.360
Huh?

964
01:00:55.280 --> 01:00:57.400

969
01:01:08.280 --> 01:01:09.719
Who who's there?

970
01:01:11.119 --> 01:01:11.519
Jenkins?

971
01:01:12.639 --> 01:01:13.000
Dagens?

972
01:01:13.039 --> 01:01:13.360
Is that you?

973
01:01:15.800 --> 01:01:16.800
H well?

974
01:01:16.840 --> 01:01:17.239
The thieves?

975
01:01:17.280 --> 01:01:18.280
So the.

976
01:01:19.760 --> 01:01:24.239
Jenkins Dakins called the police quick, nobody's calling any cop tonight, mister,

977
01:01:24.639 --> 01:01:26.960
But you you're a thief?

978
01:01:27.679 --> 01:01:29.360
Jenkins Jenkins?

979
01:01:33.360 --> 01:01:35.440
Maybe that'll convince you. Why did you hit him? What

980
01:01:35.480 --> 01:01:37.280
do you expect me to do? Hold his hand? Wait

981
01:01:37.320 --> 01:01:42.719
a minute, it looks like he's dead. He wouldn't be surprised.

982
01:01:43.480 --> 01:01:45.519
He don't seem to be breathing. I need to speaker.

983
01:01:47.000 --> 01:01:48.239
It's murder, so much murder.

984
01:01:48.519 --> 01:01:51.599
You're in it just as much as me. Don't forget that. Yeah,

985
01:01:52.519 --> 01:01:54.559
I have an accessory to murder. Cut that guff and

986
01:01:54.599 --> 01:01:56.760
let's get out of here. Or do you want to

987
01:01:56.800 --> 01:01:57.239
get caught?

988
01:01:57.519 --> 01:01:57.559
No?

989
01:01:57.760 --> 01:01:58.599
No, of course not didn't.

990
01:01:58.599 --> 01:01:58.800
Come on.

991
01:01:58.960 --> 01:01:59.599
Let's get going.

992
01:02:11.320 --> 01:02:14.239
Okay, here we are, Come on in? Why did you

993
01:02:14.280 --> 01:02:17.039
make me come here? Why can't I go home? You

994
01:02:17.280 --> 01:02:17.639
heard me?

995
01:02:17.800 --> 01:02:18.280
Come on in?

996
01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:20.960
That's better?

997
01:02:25.800 --> 01:02:28.960
Nor take off your hat and stay awhile? Well I

998
01:02:29.039 --> 01:02:31.519
can't stay mike. My wife shall be worrying. I got

999
01:02:31.639 --> 01:02:32.239
to go home to her.

1000
01:02:32.320 --> 01:02:34.840
You've got worse things than your wife to worry about.

1001
01:02:35.000 --> 01:02:38.440
How what do you mean? I mean the cops? Or

1002
01:02:38.599 --> 01:02:41.400
have you forgotten you wanted for murder? No?

1003
01:02:41.599 --> 01:02:45.519
I haven't forgotten. I'll never be able to forget. Why

1004
01:02:45.599 --> 01:02:48.559
did you kill him? Why so we wouldn't have to

1005
01:02:48.599 --> 01:02:52.000
go to jail? Would you rather have gone to jail?

1006
01:02:52.119 --> 01:02:52.320
Jill?

1007
01:02:52.679 --> 01:02:59.480
Of course, yes, I would. I'm all mixed up. How

1008
01:02:59.519 --> 01:03:01.880
did I get in this? Anyway? You need a dough.

1009
01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:03.719
That's how you got into this, and you got it,

1010
01:03:03.840 --> 01:03:06.480
so kind out the sob stuff. We're in the clear.

1011
01:03:07.119 --> 01:03:07.960
What you got a peepa?

1012
01:03:08.079 --> 01:03:08.159
Well?

1013
01:03:08.159 --> 01:03:09.480
Why won't you let me go home? Why do you

1014
01:03:09.559 --> 01:03:10.480
make me come to your room?

1015
01:03:10.519 --> 01:03:10.679
Here?

1016
01:03:11.800 --> 01:03:12.519
Two reasons.

1017
01:03:13.320 --> 01:03:16.159
The first is I want to make sure you know

1018
01:03:16.320 --> 01:03:19.039
what it'll mean if you let anything slip. I know

1019
01:03:19.800 --> 01:03:21.960
you don't have to tell me. I won't let anything slip.

1020
01:03:22.119 --> 01:03:24.800
If I thought you might not slit your throat right now,

1021
01:03:24.880 --> 01:03:28.480
I won't. I tell you. I have to live.

1022
01:03:29.000 --> 01:03:33.639
My wife's say okay. And the second reason you're here

1023
01:03:33.800 --> 01:03:36.840
is so you and me can have a little talk talk.

1024
01:03:37.519 --> 01:03:41.039
What kind of a talk, Joe? I like the way

1025
01:03:41.079 --> 01:03:43.119
you got that door and that's safe open, and I

1026
01:03:44.039 --> 01:03:45.519
you and me got a future to get it.

1027
01:03:46.239 --> 01:03:48.039
I don't know what you mean. Oh yes you do.

1028
01:03:48.920 --> 01:03:50.960
As soon as the heat's off, we're gonna do another

1029
01:03:51.000 --> 01:03:52.000
little job to get it.

1030
01:03:52.079 --> 01:03:53.159
Oh no, no, I won't.

1031
01:03:53.400 --> 01:03:53.800
I won't.

1032
01:03:54.519 --> 01:03:56.079
I tell you. I won't. You can't make me.

1033
01:03:56.719 --> 01:03:59.920
Oh yes I can, because if you don't, I can

1034
01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:02.199
always send a little note to the cops telling them

1035
01:04:02.239 --> 01:04:05.639
that you they want for that killing tonight. You wouldn't

1036
01:04:05.679 --> 01:04:08.880
do that that gets you too. I'd be a long

1037
01:04:08.960 --> 01:04:11.039
ways away by then, but you can't get away. You

1038
01:04:11.119 --> 01:04:13.559
got a business here and a sick wife. You couldn't

1039
01:04:13.639 --> 01:04:19.280
leave them. Well, now you see, while you're gonna do

1040
01:04:19.360 --> 01:04:19.840
what I say?

1041
01:04:19.960 --> 01:04:21.079
You dirty you?

1042
01:04:21.320 --> 01:04:24.760
No, no, no, don't say it. You don't think you

1043
01:04:24.840 --> 01:04:26.599
can pull a job and then go on as if

1044
01:04:26.679 --> 01:04:29.519
nothing had happened to you. You're mixed up in murdered,

1045
01:04:30.440 --> 01:04:33.719
and somebody has always got to pay for murder, one

1046
01:04:33.760 --> 01:04:35.599
way or another. I only do it for Mary's sake,

1047
01:04:35.679 --> 01:04:37.440
no matter why you did it. You're in it now

1048
01:04:37.480 --> 01:04:40.159
and you can't get out, not without paying in some way.

1049
01:04:40.840 --> 01:04:42.280
I got a good mind to go to the police

1050
01:04:42.320 --> 01:04:44.199
to confess. Get this off my chest?

1051
01:04:44.280 --> 01:04:46.079
On how you dog? You see this gun? I'd plug

1052
01:04:46.159 --> 01:04:48.960
you in a second if I get away, go my head.

1053
01:04:49.599 --> 01:04:50.360
You got me into this.

1054
01:04:50.719 --> 01:04:59.760
You're not going to make me go into it, right

1055
01:05:01.679 --> 01:05:12.440
Mike m that dead try to shoot me and shot himself.

1056
01:05:14.519 --> 01:05:16.760
I gotta get away from her. I gotta get back

1057
01:05:16.800 --> 01:05:17.199
to marry.

1058
01:05:22.920 --> 01:05:25.679
In Days of Horror, Joe Harrison found his hat and

1059
01:05:25.719 --> 01:05:28.320
made his way to the street. His mind was a

1060
01:05:28.440 --> 01:05:31.440
dizzy whirl of thoughts which he could not control that

1061
01:05:31.559 --> 01:05:33.519
went around and around in his hand.

1062
01:05:35.280 --> 01:05:35.800
A murderer.

1063
01:05:37.719 --> 01:05:42.159
Catch me, though, hang me. I didn't mean to do it.

1064
01:05:43.079 --> 01:05:45.000
I just wanted the money. The money was all.

1065
01:05:45.039 --> 01:05:49.760
I wanted the money to make marry Well, that's all. Oh,

1066
01:05:49.800 --> 01:05:55.800
don't catch me, hang me. He must I gotta escape,

1067
01:05:56.559 --> 01:05:59.480
got to it, Mike said. The murder has to be

1068
01:05:59.559 --> 01:06:00.519
paid for somehow.

1069
01:06:01.480 --> 01:06:02.199
That is true.

1070
01:06:03.559 --> 01:06:04.400
Escape if you're lucky.

1071
01:06:05.320 --> 01:06:09.440
I just gotta be lucky. I need a drink. Gotta

1072
01:06:09.480 --> 01:06:10.840
have a drink before I go crazy.

1073
01:06:15.320 --> 01:06:17.760
So Joe Harrison stumbled into a tiny bar on a

1074
01:06:17.880 --> 01:06:22.280
dark street, Struggling to control his shaking hands and to

1075
01:06:22.400 --> 01:06:25.679
keep his voice normal. He ordered a double rye and

1076
01:06:25.800 --> 01:06:29.480
gouted it down. Then, as his senses cleared a little,

1077
01:06:30.320 --> 01:06:32.039
he heard the radio at the end of the bar

1078
01:06:32.280 --> 01:06:34.719
broadcasting a warning to the city Police.

1079
01:06:34.440 --> 01:06:36.480
Department is asking you to be on the lookout for

1080
01:06:36.559 --> 01:06:39.480
the following man wanted for the brutal murder committed in

1081
01:06:39.519 --> 01:06:42.960
Gramercy Park section two hours ago. Please make a note

1082
01:06:43.000 --> 01:06:45.880
of the following description given by the victim before he died.

1083
01:06:46.440 --> 01:06:50.400
The description follows, All right, luck party, what's the idea?

1084
01:06:51.880 --> 01:06:53.320
What you shut the radio off for?

1085
01:06:54.159 --> 01:06:57.079
Answer me? What'd you do it because I was sick

1086
01:06:57.119 --> 01:06:58.079
of listening to it, That's why.

1087
01:06:58.239 --> 01:06:58.880
Oh is that so?

1088
01:06:59.039 --> 01:06:59.199
Well?

1089
01:06:59.239 --> 01:07:02.199
I'm not saying. And I got an idea. Maybe there

1090
01:07:02.280 --> 01:07:03.800
was some other reason you didn't want to hear it.

1091
01:07:04.480 --> 01:07:05.800
So I'm gonna turn it on again.

1092
01:07:05.880 --> 01:07:06.920
No, no, you mustn't.

1093
01:07:06.920 --> 01:07:08.519
Well, I'm going to and if you want to make

1094
01:07:08.519 --> 01:07:10.280
a try for a break. I got a gun right

1095
01:07:10.280 --> 01:07:13.679
here on the bi you see. Now, let's hear what

1096
01:07:13.800 --> 01:07:14.559
the killer looked like.

1097
01:07:15.599 --> 01:07:18.000
I repeat, be on the lookout for a man of

1098
01:07:18.119 --> 01:07:22.719
medium height, lean and wiry, with reddish brown hair. If

1099
01:07:22.719 --> 01:07:25.679
you see such a man, report it once to headquarters.

1100
01:07:26.440 --> 01:07:28.480
We now turn you back to a regular night program

1101
01:07:28.599 --> 01:07:29.760
of popular dance tunes.

1102
01:07:30.760 --> 01:07:34.800
Lean and wiry with reddish brown hair. Huh, well that

1103
01:07:34.880 --> 01:07:39.079
ain't shew that kind of heavy set in blackhead for

1104
01:07:39.079 --> 01:07:40.559
a minute day you had me go, and I was

1105
01:07:40.639 --> 01:07:42.440
positive viewed the killer the way you didn't want me

1106
01:07:42.480 --> 01:07:46.719
to hear the description, just jumpy. I well here, I

1107
01:07:46.760 --> 01:07:48.880
have another drink on the house. Huh thanks, I.

1108
01:07:49.760 --> 01:07:53.360
Gotta go home. Need some sleep, Yeah, that's what I need,

1109
01:07:54.280 --> 01:07:54.800
some sleep.

1110
01:08:00.639 --> 01:08:02.599
I guessed at how close he had come to giving

1111
01:08:02.679 --> 01:08:06.320
himself away. Joe Harrison hurried home. It was Mike the

1112
01:08:06.400 --> 01:08:09.320
police were looking for, not Joe Harrison. It was Mike,

1113
01:08:09.360 --> 01:08:13.519
whose description they had. Joe Harrison was safe, safe, Hardly

1114
01:08:13.559 --> 01:08:15.920
able to believe in his own good luck, Joe reached

1115
01:08:15.960 --> 01:08:21.319
his home and let himself in. Mary was already asleep. Quietly,

1116
01:08:21.359 --> 01:08:26.239
he got into bed and at last fell asleep himself, asleep,

1117
01:08:26.359 --> 01:08:30.760
troubled by nightmares that gave him no peace. When he woke,

1118
01:08:30.800 --> 01:08:33.079
it was morning and Mary was preparing breakfast.

1119
01:08:34.760 --> 01:08:37.600
Good morning, darling. What time did you get home? Anyway?

1120
01:08:38.159 --> 01:08:39.800
I waited up for you almost till too.

1121
01:08:40.119 --> 01:08:43.880
I I was pretty late. I stopped at the shop

1122
01:08:44.000 --> 01:08:47.439
little work forgot to watch the time, and.

1123
01:08:47.520 --> 01:08:52.279
This morning you looked terrible. I know you're worrying about me,

1124
01:08:53.319 --> 01:08:56.199
but you mustn't, darling. I'm going to be all right, really,

1125
01:08:56.279 --> 01:08:57.279
I am for sure.

1126
01:08:57.439 --> 01:08:58.279
I'm going to say to that.

1127
01:08:58.840 --> 01:09:01.640
What do you think? Doctor Norris called up last night

1128
01:09:01.920 --> 01:09:03.680
wanted to talk to you. He said he had good

1129
01:09:03.720 --> 01:09:07.000
news for you, good news, but he wouldn't tell me

1130
01:09:07.039 --> 01:09:07.439
what it was.

1131
01:09:08.119 --> 01:09:08.760
I don't know why.

1132
01:09:09.720 --> 01:09:11.359
He asked for you to stop in at his office

1133
01:09:11.359 --> 01:09:11.720
this morning.

1134
01:09:11.840 --> 01:09:14.239
I think I know what it is. Yeah, sure, I'll

1135
01:09:14.239 --> 01:09:15.079
go right over and see him.

1136
01:09:15.119 --> 01:09:17.199
Oh, but dying, you're going to eat breakfast first time?

1137
01:09:17.279 --> 01:09:19.319
SI. When I get back, I won't see the doctor

1138
01:09:19.399 --> 01:09:20.119
first anyway.

1139
01:09:20.119 --> 01:09:23.039
I'm not very hungry, all right, Joe, but please hurry back.

1140
01:09:23.319 --> 01:09:24.560
I want to know what the doctor said.

1141
01:09:24.640 --> 01:09:27.560
Yeah, sure, Mary, how you right back? Everything's okay, now,

1142
01:09:28.039 --> 01:09:35.960
everything's okay. After he left the house, Joe bought a

1143
01:09:36.000 --> 01:09:39.520
morning paper. Big headlines told of the murder the night before,

1144
01:09:39.800 --> 01:09:42.399
but he scarcely saw them. His eyes hurried through the

1145
01:09:42.479 --> 01:09:44.960
story until he found what he was looking for. The

1146
01:09:45.119 --> 01:09:49.600
news that Mike's body had been found. The man Mike

1147
01:09:49.640 --> 01:09:53.039
had struck had given his buttler Mike's description before he died,

1148
01:09:53.720 --> 01:09:56.920
but he hadn't seen Joe at all. So the police

1149
01:09:56.960 --> 01:10:00.279
had listed Mike's death as a suicide or an accident and.

1150
01:10:00.399 --> 01:10:01.199
Closed the cave.

1151
01:10:02.359 --> 01:10:08.560
Joe Harrison was safe, perfectly safe, safe, I'm safe.

1152
01:10:10.359 --> 01:10:12.479
Sometimes you can't get away with murder. I have to

1153
01:10:12.600 --> 01:10:16.560
pay anything. You're lucky, and I've been lucky.

1154
01:10:19.520 --> 01:10:24.640
When he entered the doctor's office, Joe's expression was that

1155
01:10:24.760 --> 01:10:28.039
of a man who had just face disaster and been rescued.

1156
01:10:28.039 --> 01:10:31.720
At the last moment, he seated himself and tossed the

1157
01:10:32.000 --> 01:10:34.000
folded newspaper into the waste basket.

1158
01:10:34.399 --> 01:10:36.800
You a right exactly, Mary said, you phoned that you

1159
01:10:36.840 --> 01:10:37.479
had good news.

1160
01:10:37.720 --> 01:10:40.520
Oh yes, mister Hawrison, as I called you last night

1161
01:10:40.560 --> 01:10:42.439
after I got in touch with the surgeon I spoke

1162
01:10:42.479 --> 01:10:46.239
of yesterday, doctor Nelson Richards, I wanted to tell you

1163
01:10:46.319 --> 01:10:46.800
that he had.

1164
01:10:46.680 --> 01:10:48.239
Agreed to operate on your wife.

1165
01:10:48.399 --> 01:10:50.640
That's well, that's well. I got the money right here

1166
01:10:50.640 --> 01:10:54.199
in my packing the money. Yes, as I was going

1167
01:10:54.239 --> 01:10:55.960
to tell you that doctor Richard had said not to

1168
01:10:56.000 --> 01:10:56.600
worry about that.

1169
01:10:57.279 --> 01:10:59.079
You could take as long as you wanted to pay it,

1170
01:11:00.359 --> 01:11:07.079
as long as I wanted. And I wasn't necessary. I

1171
01:11:07.159 --> 01:11:11.479
didn't have to do it. I I didn't have to

1172
01:11:11.640 --> 01:11:11.880
do it.

1173
01:11:12.399 --> 01:11:14.239
I'm afraid I don't understand, mister Harrison.

1174
01:11:14.760 --> 01:11:16.720
Oh never mind, doctor. I mean, here's the money.

1175
01:11:16.720 --> 01:11:17.039
I got it.

1176
01:11:17.239 --> 01:11:19.000
I got it right here. I want to pay for it.

1177
01:11:19.000 --> 01:11:20.039
He's got to take it right away.

1178
01:11:21.640 --> 01:11:24.560
What's the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?

1179
01:11:24.800 --> 01:11:28.760
For the operation is gonna cure Mary, isn't it? You

1180
01:11:28.840 --> 01:11:31.079
said it would. You can't go back on your word now,

1181
01:11:31.199 --> 01:11:31.920
you can't, do you hear?

1182
01:11:32.199 --> 01:11:35.520
It's not that, mister Harrison. Yes, the chances are the

1183
01:11:35.600 --> 01:11:39.720
operation would have cured your wife. But well, unfortunately doctor

1184
01:11:39.800 --> 01:11:41.760
Richards was the only man in this country able to

1185
01:11:41.800 --> 01:11:44.800
perform it. Well, so what he said he'd do it,

1186
01:11:44.880 --> 01:11:48.920
didn't he? So what's the hitch, mister Harrison. Doctor Richards

1187
01:11:48.960 --> 01:11:50.199
won't perform the operation?

1188
01:11:50.399 --> 01:11:50.520
Now?

1189
01:11:51.239 --> 01:11:51.560
Why not?

1190
01:11:52.119 --> 01:11:55.840
Doctor Richards was tragically killed last night by a burglar

1191
01:11:55.880 --> 01:11:57.960
who broke into his home on Gramercy Park.

1192
01:12:15.720 --> 01:12:17.199
This is a mysterious traveler.

1193
01:12:17.239 --> 01:12:17.479
Again.

1194
01:12:19.079 --> 01:12:21.479
Faith plays strange jokes sometimes, doesn't she.

1195
01:12:22.000 --> 01:12:25.119
Poor Joe Harrison, he forgot that good can never come

1196
01:12:25.159 --> 01:12:27.600
out of evil, and that crime must always be paid

1197
01:12:27.680 --> 01:12:31.640
for by someone. If only he hadn't let himself be tempted.

1198
01:12:32.279 --> 01:12:35.399
But he did, and what became of him? While he

1199
01:12:35.439 --> 01:12:38.079
devoted himself to taking care of his invalid wife Mary,

1200
01:12:38.840 --> 01:12:41.760
But his deed continued to weigh on his mind, and

1201
01:12:41.880 --> 01:12:45.760
when she died several years later, he confessed everything to

1202
01:12:45.840 --> 01:12:49.720
the police. I do hope his experience has proved that

1203
01:12:49.840 --> 01:12:50.960
crime really doesn't pay.

1204
01:12:52.159 --> 01:12:55.039
I always sit. Oh, you have to get off here.

1205
01:12:55.119 --> 01:12:59.000
I'm sorry, but I'm sure we'll meet again. I take

1206
01:12:59.079 --> 01:13:01.680
this same trade every week. At this time.

1207
01:13:10.640 --> 01:13:13.359

but I'm confident will be just fine. So don't you worry.

1216
01:14:10.199 --> 01:14:14.880
Have another sip. It's very very hot and very very good.

1217
01:14:16.880 --> 01:14:23.000
I feel like this won't this won't win. We can

1218
01:14:23.119 --> 01:14:27.479
get beyond it. We don't have to be We don't

1219
01:14:27.560 --> 01:14:28.560
have to be fearful.

1220
01:14:28.760 --> 01:14:29.520
No, no, no.

1221
01:14:31.119 --> 01:14:36.399
All we have to do is wait, stand up, look forward,

1222
01:14:37.840 --> 01:14:43.199
and just be confident that well we are in a

1223
01:14:43.359 --> 01:14:45.800
world of darkness.

staff that is all.

1245
01:16:43.279 --> 01:16:43.680
Mercer.

1246
01:16:45.840 --> 01:16:49.119
Okay, okay, Okay's everybody here now, Yes, I think I've

1247
01:16:49.159 --> 01:16:49.680
got all of them.

1248
01:16:50.000 --> 01:16:53.880
It's missus Collins, mister Farrell, miss Walker, mister Gunther.

1249
01:16:54.239 --> 01:16:55.039
Yes, they're all here.

1250
01:16:55.119 --> 01:16:58.880
Lieutenant you're the landlady, missus Washburn.

1251
01:16:59.000 --> 01:17:01.039
Right, Well, if you want to, but be blunt about it.

1252
01:17:01.479 --> 01:17:03.760
I'm afraid I'm a blunt man. Maybe it's a business

1253
01:17:03.800 --> 01:17:07.479
I'm in. Last night a girl was killed in this house,

1254
01:17:07.720 --> 01:17:09.640
according to the car, and it happened about two in

1255
01:17:09.680 --> 01:17:13.359
the morning. She was killed in a particularly cold blooded manner.

1256
01:17:13.600 --> 01:17:17.159
Stabbed and that's murder. There's no two ways about it.

1257
01:17:17.920 --> 01:17:20.199
Are you intelligent people? You're all connected with the theater?

1258
01:17:20.399 --> 01:17:22.279
No, not all, not all.

1259
01:17:22.560 --> 01:17:24.680
France is my sort of caretaker.

1260
01:17:24.840 --> 01:17:29.000
Handyman, Yes, handy man, but not to do with that theater,

1261
01:17:29.239 --> 01:17:30.960
that place of sin, an abomination.

1262
01:17:31.159 --> 01:17:34.159
Don't mind him. France has always been a little prejudice.

1263
01:17:34.359 --> 01:17:37.199
I know when the sword of righteousness is ready to strike.

1264
01:17:37.640 --> 01:17:39.279
Where were you at two o'clock in the morning. I

1265
01:17:39.439 --> 01:17:42.039
was in my room waiting. What were you waiting for?

1266
01:17:43.520 --> 01:17:43.640
Now?

1267
01:17:43.720 --> 01:17:46.800
Look, don't you people realize what you're up against? So

1268
01:17:46.920 --> 01:17:48.880
you're going to count your actions last night? You're all

1269
01:17:48.920 --> 01:17:52.079
under suspicion of murder. What makes you so sure one

1270
01:17:52.119 --> 01:17:56.079
of us did it? Oh you were miss Nancy Collins fiance,

1271
01:17:56.239 --> 01:17:57.600
Is that right, mister Farrell?

1272
01:17:57.840 --> 01:17:58.039
Yes?

1273
01:17:58.720 --> 01:18:01.680
What were you doing last night? I was out working.

1274
01:18:02.239 --> 01:18:05.119
Anybody see you? I don't know, I don't think so

1275
01:18:05.279 --> 01:18:07.239
how do I know? What were you doing out walking

1276
01:18:07.279 --> 01:18:10.520
around at two o'clock in the morning? Well after what happened?

1277
01:18:10.800 --> 01:18:10.960
Uh?

1278
01:18:11.239 --> 01:18:11.640
What I have?

1279
01:18:12.239 --> 01:18:12.359
Oh?

1280
01:18:12.479 --> 01:18:14.279
Nothing? I was upset, that's all.

1281
01:18:14.319 --> 01:18:15.760
Why don't you tell him the truth, Daniel?

1282
01:18:15.880 --> 01:18:19.319
The truth? What's the use of ble as talking? It's

1283
01:18:19.359 --> 01:18:20.960
not going to bring up back? What did you mean

1284
01:18:21.039 --> 01:18:22.199
by that, Missus Collins?

1285
01:18:22.279 --> 01:18:22.880
What truth?

1286
01:18:23.399 --> 01:18:26.239
It's not my place to say. Daniel considers it a

1287
01:18:26.279 --> 01:18:28.359
personal matter. It couldn't have had.

1288
01:18:28.279 --> 01:18:29.079
Anything to do with what.

1289
01:18:30.520 --> 01:18:32.399
Oh, I'm sure no one is concealing anything of the

1290
01:18:32.479 --> 01:18:33.479
slightest importance.

1291
01:18:34.279 --> 01:18:35.479
Everyone loved Nancy.

1292
01:18:36.119 --> 01:18:40.079
Everyone, Please, I know what you're getting around to. Why

1293
01:18:40.239 --> 01:18:42.840
cage that everyone loved it but me that I hated it?

1294
01:18:43.479 --> 01:18:46.720
But I didn't Well, not enough to do.

1295
01:18:46.800 --> 01:18:47.399
A thing like that.

1296
01:18:47.880 --> 01:18:50.640
Where were you two this morning? Miss Walker? In my room?

1297
01:18:50.840 --> 01:18:51.880
Can you prove that? No?

1298
01:18:52.119 --> 01:18:52.960
Of course I can't.

1299
01:18:53.159 --> 01:18:53.920
That's the whole thing.

1300
01:18:54.000 --> 01:18:56.199
Don't you listen? Listen who's playing that piano?

1301
01:18:56.399 --> 01:18:58.560
That's mister Rejack in the room across the hall. He's

1302
01:18:58.600 --> 01:18:59.079
a musician.

1303
01:18:59.159 --> 01:18:59.760
Do they live here?

1304
01:19:00.079 --> 01:19:00.199
Yes?

1305
01:19:00.520 --> 01:19:02.319
Why didn't you tell me? I thought that everybody was here.

1306
01:19:02.520 --> 01:19:04.760
No use talking to him. He doesn't even know about you.

1307
01:19:04.840 --> 01:19:06.760
Will you please let me handle lieutenant.

1308
01:19:06.840 --> 01:19:07.760
He couldn't tell you anything.

1309
01:19:07.800 --> 01:19:09.680
You see you get him in here, Hackitty, go get him?

1310
01:19:09.800 --> 01:19:14.079
Okay, Well, listen, you people have got an awful lot

1311
01:19:14.119 --> 01:19:16.640
of explaining to though none of you can prove where

1312
01:19:16.760 --> 01:19:18.520
you were or what you were doing or why you

1313
01:19:18.600 --> 01:19:19.119
were doing it.

1314
01:19:19.800 --> 01:19:21.199
What about you, Missus Carlins.

1315
01:19:21.880 --> 01:19:25.479
You don't think after all, I am poor Nancy's mother.

1316
01:19:25.840 --> 01:19:27.840
Missus Collins, are just trying to get at the facts.

1317
01:19:27.920 --> 01:19:28.159
You have.

1318
01:19:28.279 --> 01:19:30.640
The room next to Nancy didn't even hear anything.

1319
01:19:30.920 --> 01:19:34.279
No, I've had insomnia for years. I have to take

1320
01:19:34.279 --> 01:19:35.560
a strong sedative every night.

1321
01:19:37.520 --> 01:19:38.920
Here comes mister Reejack.

1322
01:19:39.520 --> 01:19:40.680
Oh, mister rae Jack.

1323
01:19:40.760 --> 01:19:43.359
I'm sorry to disturb you.

1324
01:19:43.479 --> 01:19:47.920
So I didn't realize that that that was blind. It

1325
01:19:48.039 --> 01:19:50.520
is no matter. I was waiting for you to send

1326
01:19:50.560 --> 01:19:54.199
for me. Officer. You you knew the police were here,

1327
01:19:54.560 --> 01:19:59.239
but of course, oh missus Washburn. Has anyone seen anything

1328
01:19:59.279 --> 01:20:00.399
of Carlia morning?

1329
01:20:00.720 --> 01:20:01.359
No, not yet.

1330
01:20:01.920 --> 01:20:05.359
Who is carl Mister Reger my Belgian police dog who

1331
01:20:05.399 --> 01:20:09.520
guides me. He has wander dog somewhere, although I cannot

1332
01:20:09.520 --> 01:20:12.199
say I blame him. It is not much fun being

1333
01:20:12.239 --> 01:20:14.720
a companion only to a blind man. Or hey, he'll

1334
01:20:14.760 --> 01:20:16.960
come back that kind of overst Oh, I'm not worried.

1335
01:20:18.159 --> 01:20:20.119
But now you wish to speak up the terrible thing

1336
01:20:20.199 --> 01:20:25.479
that has happened to pull Nancy. Oh you know about that? Unfortunately? Yes.

1337
01:20:26.479 --> 01:20:29.560
By the way, here is the key to her room.

1338
01:20:30.920 --> 01:20:32.560
It was lucked and you were obliged to force it,

1339
01:20:32.640 --> 01:20:32.960
were you not?

1340
01:20:33.479 --> 01:20:33.640
Why?

1341
01:20:33.760 --> 01:20:33.960
Yes?

1342
01:20:34.079 --> 01:20:36.600
But how did you? How do I have the key?

1343
01:20:37.399 --> 01:20:38.079
And how do I know?

1344
01:20:39.439 --> 01:20:39.479
You?

1345
01:20:39.600 --> 01:20:42.880
See, I'm a blind man, but there are many ways

1346
01:20:42.920 --> 01:20:46.520
for a blind man to know many many things. Yes,

1347
01:20:46.760 --> 01:20:51.680
I say, poor Nancy, poor child. How much do you

1348
01:20:51.800 --> 01:20:55.920
know about that? Quite a bit? I'm afraid I know

1349
01:20:56.079 --> 01:20:59.199
how she was killed, I know why she was killed,

1350
01:21:00.279 --> 01:21:01.479
and I know who killed her.

1351
01:21:11.840 --> 01:21:16.199
Tonight, in our suspense Theater, murder was unseen in the dark,

1352
01:21:16.880 --> 01:21:19.560
but the crime was witnessed by a single human being

1353
01:21:20.119 --> 01:21:23.880
with the eyes of night. Roma Wines is bringing you

1354
01:21:23.960 --> 01:21:26.880
Paul Lucas a star of suspense in the Robert L.

1355
01:21:26.960 --> 01:21:38.199
Richard story A World of Darkness. You have heard the

1356
01:21:38.279 --> 01:21:41.119
prologue for Tonight's tale of Suspense.

1357
01:21:41.640 --> 01:21:44.239
Before we return to the scene of our drama. Let

1358
01:21:44.279 --> 01:21:47.479
me take a moment to offer a practical reminder sudden

1359
01:21:47.560 --> 01:21:51.119
calls in your hospitality, suggest the advantages of having several

1360
01:21:51.279 --> 01:21:55.159
Roma wines always on hand for smart and gracious entertaining.

1361
01:21:55.680 --> 01:21:58.399
Nothing can take the place of a glass of Roma wine,

1362
01:21:59.000 --> 01:22:02.039
whether as an enjoyable beverage by itself or on the

1363
01:22:02.119 --> 01:22:06.560
table with meals. And look how economical entertainment centered around

1364
01:22:06.600 --> 01:22:09.640
good wine can be only a few cents of glass

1365
01:22:10.000 --> 01:22:14.199
when you choose the largest selling wines of America, Roma wines,

1366
01:22:15.039 --> 01:22:18.960
location of Roma wineries in favored wine districts of California,

1367
01:22:19.399 --> 01:22:23.159
and Roma's vast experience and skill as wine makers explain

1368
01:22:23.319 --> 01:22:27.279
why wine connoisseurs of other lands hail Roma wines and

1369
01:22:27.479 --> 01:22:30.960
keenly enjoy them. So you know you are complimenting your

1370
01:22:31.000 --> 01:22:35.359
guest's good taste when you serve Roma wines made in

1371
01:22:35.520 --> 01:22:38.600
California for enjoyment throughout the world.

1372
01:22:40.439 --> 01:22:43.239
And now it is with pleasure that Roma wines bring

1373
01:22:43.359 --> 01:22:46.039
back to our sound stage. Mister Paul Lucas in a

1374
01:22:46.199 --> 01:22:49.640
world of darkness, a tale well calculated to keep you

1375
01:22:49.760 --> 01:22:51.159
in suspense.

1376
01:23:04.840 --> 01:23:08.720
You think it is a great affliction to be bind Yes,

1377
01:23:09.079 --> 01:23:11.760
in a way it is. If he yields to it,

1378
01:23:12.079 --> 01:23:14.439
it can make a man bitter and distort his mind.

1379
01:23:15.239 --> 01:23:18.880
But if he struggles against it, there are merciful compensations.

1380
01:23:19.840 --> 01:23:23.000
In time, he reaches out into the world again and

1381
01:23:23.199 --> 01:23:27.159
finds he can perceive the meaning of the life around

1382
01:23:27.239 --> 01:23:30.600
him without his eyes. A world of darkness becomes to

1383
01:23:30.680 --> 01:23:33.760
him a place of add more sensitivity to other things,

1384
01:23:34.399 --> 01:23:39.039
to touch, to smell, but above all to sound. The

1385
01:23:39.279 --> 01:23:42.399
ticking of a watch, the rustle of clothing, the sound

1386
01:23:42.479 --> 01:23:46.119
of breathing, or even the beat of a heart. I

1387
01:23:46.279 --> 01:23:48.680
have only to focus my attention on a sound so

1388
01:23:48.920 --> 01:23:53.319
distant or so slight as to be utterly imperceptible to

1389
01:23:53.399 --> 01:23:57.800
anyone else, and to me it is magnified and amplified

1390
01:23:57.800 --> 01:24:01.920
a hundred times. Last night, though sitting in my room

1391
01:24:02.000 --> 01:24:06.079
and confined in my eternal darkness, I heard what I

1392
01:24:06.159 --> 01:24:09.479
could not see, and I was witnessed to a murder.

1393
01:24:19.279 --> 01:24:22.079
The bells of Trinity had just run a three quarter hour.

1394
01:24:23.159 --> 01:24:25.079
They are at the lower extremity of the city, but

1395
01:24:25.560 --> 01:24:28.159
I always liked to listen for them. It was a

1396
01:24:28.239 --> 01:24:31.840
quarter to midnight. I was about to go back to

1397
01:24:31.920 --> 01:24:35.159
my piano. I had been working on a little composition

1398
01:24:35.279 --> 01:24:37.840
of my own. When I heard Nancy coming down the

1399
01:24:37.880 --> 01:24:40.800
street from the direction of the theater, she was walking

1400
01:24:40.960 --> 01:24:43.319
very fast. It was clear to me that she was

1401
01:24:43.399 --> 01:24:46.159
disturbed about something, so I knew she would want to

1402
01:24:46.199 --> 01:24:59.960
see me. I waited for her neck. Come come, yes, Nancy, come,

1403
01:25:00.000 --> 01:25:04.720
I mean, oh, you are troubled.

1404
01:25:05.279 --> 01:25:05.760
What is it?

1405
01:25:06.359 --> 01:25:06.920
How did you know?

1406
01:25:07.720 --> 01:25:11.359
You know? I can always tell these things. See, even

1407
01:25:11.439 --> 01:25:13.119
Carl knows he can.

1408
01:25:14.039 --> 01:25:14.880
He's so nice.

1409
01:25:15.600 --> 01:25:21.520
You're both so nice, Carl and I. Huh, you know

1410
01:25:21.680 --> 01:25:22.560
he loves your Nancy.

1411
01:25:22.720 --> 01:25:24.600
I think he really does, almost as much as.

1412
01:25:24.520 --> 01:25:24.920
He loves me.

1413
01:25:25.239 --> 01:25:25.479
I know.

1414
01:25:27.119 --> 01:25:30.520
Oh, I'm going to miss your booth terribly. You are

1415
01:25:30.800 --> 01:25:37.880
going away, Anton, I'm going to marry Danny Ferrell. To Mary, Yes,

1416
01:25:37.960 --> 01:25:40.159
he's quitting the stage and he's going into the army.

1417
01:25:41.039 --> 01:25:44.119
I'm going with him. That's what I want to tell

1418
01:25:44.119 --> 01:25:48.680
you about. I see, Anton, You've always been so good

1419
01:25:48.720 --> 01:25:52.439
to me. You've helped me so much, and I I've

1420
01:25:52.479 --> 01:25:53.359
always felt.

1421
01:25:53.159 --> 01:25:57.760
That you liked me more than that. Nancy, I'm very,

1422
01:25:57.960 --> 01:25:58.640
very fond of you.

1423
01:25:59.239 --> 01:26:02.359
Oh, and you're the best friend I've ever had.

1424
01:26:02.560 --> 01:26:05.279
But I'm nearly twice your age and blind.

1425
01:26:05.399 --> 01:26:08.399
Oh that doesn't matter. We've had some wonderful times together.

1426
01:26:08.560 --> 01:26:11.840
Yes, and now you wish to talk to me because

1427
01:26:11.880 --> 01:26:14.800
you are still not sure you have made that right decision. Yes,

1428
01:26:15.680 --> 01:26:18.159
not to leave the stage now, just when you are

1429
01:26:18.239 --> 01:26:20.760
having the first time such a wonderful success.

1430
01:26:21.000 --> 01:26:23.560
It isn't that I've always hated the stage.

1431
01:26:24.640 --> 01:26:27.359
No, Nancy, Now you have a very great talent.

1432
01:26:27.479 --> 01:26:29.560
You can't have a talent for anything you don't like,

1433
01:26:29.960 --> 01:26:33.039
and you can't like anything you've had crammed down your

1434
01:26:33.079 --> 01:26:34.840
throat ever since you were barely able to talk.

1435
01:26:34.880 --> 01:26:36.119
Oh it's your mother.

1436
01:26:36.640 --> 01:26:39.600
She's counted on it all these years. She sacrificed everything

1437
01:26:39.680 --> 01:26:43.239
for my career. Oh. Mother loves me in her way.

1438
01:26:43.319 --> 01:26:49.960
But sometimes she's so strange. When I told her about

1439
01:26:50.079 --> 01:26:52.840
Danny tonight, I thought she was going to have a

1440
01:26:52.920 --> 01:26:56.960
stroke or something. I've seen her angry before, but never

1441
01:26:57.119 --> 01:27:01.159
liked that. Oh we feel passed, Tom. For a minute,

1442
01:27:01.199 --> 01:27:06.920
she she looked insane. I was frightened, really frightened.

1443
01:27:07.680 --> 01:27:12.960
Listen, what.

1444
01:27:19.279 --> 01:27:20.079
And don what is it?

1445
01:27:20.960 --> 01:27:25.000
Your mother leaving her room? She will be coming down

1446
01:27:25.039 --> 01:27:27.520
here to look for you. How do you know the

1447
01:27:27.640 --> 01:27:30.560
rustle of her saad sat and robe, I hear it often.

1448
01:27:31.319 --> 01:27:33.359
Perhaps you better not speak anymore just now of your

1449
01:27:33.359 --> 01:27:33.960
little trouble.

1450
01:27:34.079 --> 01:27:36.239
I shouldn't have bothered you. I know it must seem

1451
01:27:36.319 --> 01:27:37.359
childish and silliny.

1452
01:27:37.560 --> 01:27:39.960
No, no, Nancy, it is not for me. But perhaps

1453
01:27:40.000 --> 01:27:42.479
your mother will not like it that you confide in others.

1454
01:27:42.760 --> 01:27:44.039
How could you know that she sy?

1455
01:27:44.880 --> 01:27:45.239
You see?

1456
01:27:45.640 --> 01:27:50.399
She is coming, Nancy? Yes, mother, Oh there you are.

1457
01:27:55.920 --> 01:27:57.199
I thought you might be here.

1458
01:27:57.720 --> 01:27:58.920
Good evening AGAINA.

1459
01:27:59.520 --> 01:28:01.239
Nancy really must come upstairs now.

1460
01:28:01.439 --> 01:28:02.880
If I'm going to have your new dress ready for

1461
01:28:02.920 --> 01:28:04.479
the equity party, I've got to cut it from the

1462
01:28:04.520 --> 01:28:06.079
patent tonight, and I want you to help me.

1463
01:28:06.600 --> 01:28:06.800
Mother.

1464
01:28:06.880 --> 01:28:10.840
I'm not going to the party, why, Nancy, of course

1465
01:28:10.920 --> 01:28:13.399
you are. It's very imporant.

1466
01:28:13.439 --> 01:28:13.640
Mother.

1467
01:28:13.760 --> 01:28:15.960
Do we have to go through it all again? Nancy, dear,

1468
01:28:17.039 --> 01:28:19.159
I'm sorry I lost my temper this evening.

1469
01:28:20.319 --> 01:28:21.600
I know this seems like the.

1470
01:28:21.720 --> 01:28:24.479
Only thing in the world that matters just now, love

1471
01:28:24.600 --> 01:28:24.920
and all.

1472
01:28:25.760 --> 01:28:28.000
But you simply can't walk out of the lead in

1473
01:28:28.079 --> 01:28:30.159
a hit play and ever expect to be successful.

1474
01:28:30.199 --> 01:28:32.359
I don't want to be successful. Can't you get that

1475
01:28:32.439 --> 01:28:33.039
through your head?

1476
01:28:33.119 --> 01:28:36.359
After I've slaved and skimped and planned all these year.

1477
01:28:36.279 --> 01:28:38.199
You'll be all right, mother, there'll be enough.

1478
01:28:39.119 --> 01:28:40.039
I'll be all right.

1479
01:28:41.000 --> 01:28:42.479
I'm not thinking of myself.

1480
01:28:43.079 --> 01:28:44.920
I've never had a chance to think of myself.

1481
01:28:45.479 --> 01:28:47.279
Only last week I drew every penny of my own

1482
01:28:47.319 --> 01:28:50.199
savings and took an out insurance policy on you, one

1483
01:28:50.279 --> 01:28:53.199
hundred thousand dollars so that you'd have something for.

1484
01:28:53.279 --> 01:28:53.840
Your old ale.

1485
01:28:53.880 --> 01:28:56.199
Shouldn't have done that, mother, And now you want to

1486
01:28:56.319 --> 01:28:58.920
throw away everything I've done for that hair brained boy.

1487
01:29:00.079 --> 01:29:00.720
SE's in love.

1488
01:29:00.920 --> 01:29:04.239
You keep out of this, mother, please.

1489
01:29:04.560 --> 01:29:09.680
Oh I've watched you too, Anton Rejack, but I knew

1490
01:29:09.840 --> 01:29:12.600
she wouldn't have anything to do with a blind man.

1491
01:29:13.279 --> 01:29:15.640
You couldn't see her, but you could.

1492
01:29:15.600 --> 01:29:16.560
Touch her, couldn't you.

1493
01:29:17.359 --> 01:29:19.159
You could be in love with her.

1494
01:29:20.520 --> 01:29:22.720
Well, I hope you see now what the fool you've

1495
01:29:22.760 --> 01:29:28.720
made of yourself, You fool, you blind fool, fool of fool.

1496
01:29:28.760 --> 01:29:40.039
Fall quiet, she struck me. I'm sorry you deserved it.

1497
01:29:40.159 --> 01:29:40.319
Mother.

1498
01:29:41.119 --> 01:29:42.199
I think you'd better go night.

1499
01:29:43.960 --> 01:29:44.279
Ancy.

1500
01:29:44.359 --> 01:29:48.000
I want you to come upstairs right away. We're going

1501
01:29:48.079 --> 01:29:50.000
to cut out your new dress tonight.

1502
01:29:53.760 --> 01:29:55.800
Oh, Anton, forgive.

1503
01:29:55.439 --> 01:29:57.520
Me, no, it is nothing. I'm sorry I did what

1504
01:29:57.640 --> 01:29:59.720
I did, but I was afraid she would become.

1505
01:29:59.560 --> 01:30:00.720
His teach and I didn't know.

1506
01:30:00.840 --> 01:30:04.079
Believe me, I didn't nothing. You had better go up

1507
01:30:04.119 --> 01:30:07.439
to her now. Yes, Oh I'm afraid, but there is

1508
01:30:07.560 --> 01:30:08.600
nothing to be afraid of.

1509
01:30:09.119 --> 01:30:12.199
Yes, but I'm afraid.

1510
01:30:21.560 --> 01:30:25.520
I could not sleep, although it was late. I tried

1511
01:30:25.560 --> 01:30:28.479
to go back to my work, but my attention wandered.

1512
01:30:29.479 --> 01:30:32.800
I could not keep from mine from what was going

1513
01:30:32.880 --> 01:30:36.199
on in the room upstairs. I heard it sound as

1514
01:30:36.279 --> 01:30:38.279
clearly as though the cause of it were there at

1515
01:30:38.319 --> 01:30:44.399
my very side. Nancy was weeping, and against the sound

1516
01:30:44.479 --> 01:30:50.520
of her tears like an inexorable counterpoint, the scissors, deliberate mechanicals,

1517
01:30:50.640 --> 01:30:54.880
snipping and crunching of heavy dressmaker shares, nothing material on

1518
01:30:54.960 --> 01:31:01.359
the table. Then there was an interruption, footsteps running up

1519
01:31:01.359 --> 01:31:08.039
the stairs. The footsteps up, Danny Fair. I knew what

1520
01:31:08.119 --> 01:31:12.159
would happen. Then I did not want to listen for

1521
01:31:12.239 --> 01:31:12.840
a moment.

1522
01:31:12.680 --> 01:31:14.520
I did, Danny, I don't know what to do?

1523
01:31:14.880 --> 01:31:15.640
What about timing?

1524
01:31:15.680 --> 01:31:18.199
About hour, isn't it? I shut my mind to it.

1525
01:31:18.279 --> 01:31:20.760
I didn't want to hear anymore. There was to be

1526
01:31:20.800 --> 01:31:27.560
another quarrel, another agonizing scene, and then presently I heard

1527
01:31:27.600 --> 01:31:31.399
the steps again, slow and heavy, this time coming down

1528
01:31:31.439 --> 01:31:35.079
the stairs. They went towards the front door instead of

1529
01:31:35.239 --> 01:31:38.880
to his own room. He was going out. I did

1530
01:31:38.960 --> 01:31:42.000
not know what he might do. I went to my

1531
01:31:42.119 --> 01:31:44.680
own door, and as casually as I could, I opened it.

1532
01:31:47.359 --> 01:31:51.760
Oh hello, Aunt, Why hello, Danny? Were you going out

1533
01:31:52.239 --> 01:31:54.960
for a little walk? It's late, I.

1534
01:31:55.000 --> 01:31:55.479
Guess it is.

1535
01:31:59.199 --> 01:31:59.800
I'm sorry.

1536
01:32:00.840 --> 01:32:01.720
You know about it, do you?

1537
01:32:02.039 --> 01:32:02.239
Yes?

1538
01:32:02.399 --> 01:32:04.840
Nancy told me tonight there was a scene with her

1539
01:32:04.880 --> 01:32:07.960
mother again. But it will come out all right. Oh no,

1540
01:32:08.079 --> 01:32:08.479
it won't.

1541
01:32:08.920 --> 01:32:12.960
Why Nancy's changed her mind, Rather, her mother's changed it

1542
01:32:13.079 --> 01:32:15.600
for her, the poor child Anton.

1543
01:32:16.159 --> 01:32:18.520
Nancy is a lovely girl. She's the loveliest girl in

1544
01:32:18.600 --> 01:32:19.920
the world. But she's weak.

1545
01:32:20.199 --> 01:32:22.359
But we are all weak in one way or another.

1546
01:32:22.720 --> 01:32:24.560
But she doesn't know what she does to people.

1547
01:32:24.800 --> 01:32:26.880
She doesn't know the torture she puts people through.

1548
01:32:27.520 --> 01:32:30.600
No, and I can't stand it any longer. If I

1549
01:32:30.640 --> 01:32:32.840
can't have Nancy, I'll do something up.

1550
01:32:33.119 --> 01:32:35.960
Dannya. It will be all right. It can't be all right.

1551
01:32:36.560 --> 01:32:38.039
How do I know it won't go on like this

1552
01:32:38.199 --> 01:32:42.560
after we're married. I'm crazy, I suppose, but I.

1553
01:32:42.760 --> 01:32:45.800
Know how these things are. Two young people in love

1554
01:32:45.840 --> 01:32:48.720
cannot be kept apart by anyone or anything In dessert.

1555
01:32:49.039 --> 01:32:50.359
No, Anton, I.

1556
01:32:50.399 --> 01:32:53.399
Thought it over and over every way there is. It

1557
01:32:53.520 --> 01:32:54.039
won't work.

1558
01:32:55.079 --> 01:32:57.520
Oh, come in, Anton, I.

1559
01:33:00.039 --> 01:33:01.159
Didn't know you were here, Danny.

1560
01:33:01.520 --> 01:33:07.479
Okay, I just heard the news over the theater. Congratulations.

1561
01:33:08.000 --> 01:33:08.319
Thanks.

1562
01:33:09.079 --> 01:33:10.279
I suppose I had to say that.

1563
01:33:11.159 --> 01:33:11.319
You know.

1564
01:33:11.399 --> 01:33:13.600
I don't mean it, Danny. Please, I don't think you

1565
01:33:13.680 --> 01:33:15.479
love her, Danny. I don't see how you could.

1566
01:33:15.600 --> 01:33:17.159
Okay, I don't want to talk about it tonight.

1567
01:33:17.159 --> 01:33:18.760
You're afraid to talk to me, Danny, are you?

1568
01:33:19.000 --> 01:33:19.560
I'm sorry?

1569
01:33:19.680 --> 01:33:19.840
Kay?

1570
01:33:21.039 --> 01:33:23.640
Good night, an ton Danny, Danny, listen to me.

1571
01:33:24.199 --> 01:33:26.000
Oh, let him go. He's upset tonight.

1572
01:33:27.239 --> 01:33:27.960
He's upset.

1573
01:33:29.079 --> 01:33:33.920
Kay, Kay, stop it, get hold of yourself. I love him,

1574
01:33:34.880 --> 01:33:38.239
I love him. I can't let him go, but you must, don't.

1575
01:33:38.279 --> 01:33:40.039
You See he's going to be married.

1576
01:33:41.079 --> 01:33:41.920
Before she came.

1577
01:33:41.840 --> 01:33:45.199
Along, he couldn't even think of anyone but me. She

1578
01:33:45.359 --> 01:33:48.600
planned it very nicely, just the way she's planned everything else.

1579
01:33:49.079 --> 01:33:51.640
She doesn't care how many lives she recks, including his.

1580
01:33:52.199 --> 01:33:52.920
But it won't be so.

1581
01:33:53.000 --> 01:33:53.680
Easy, that can't.

1582
01:33:53.960 --> 01:33:55.520
Kay, You are talking foolish. Listen.

1583
01:33:56.560 --> 01:33:59.119
Before i'd let her get away with this, I'd killer

1584
01:33:59.760 --> 01:34:01.520
so help me, I'd kill her.

1585
01:34:07.760 --> 01:34:10.600
She left me at flast I paid no heed to

1586
01:34:10.680 --> 01:34:14.720
where she went. I was disturbed, in trouble. I sat

1587
01:34:14.760 --> 01:34:19.199
in the darkness of my mind thinking. Then I heard

1588
01:34:19.239 --> 01:34:24.079
steps again, those odd dragging steps coming towards my door.

1589
01:34:26.840 --> 01:34:29.039
Franz, Yes, mister reject.

1590
01:34:31.800 --> 01:34:33.079
Did you want to see me? Frans?

1591
01:34:33.520 --> 01:34:39.000
No, no, I was only listening, listening to what. Don't

1592
01:34:39.000 --> 01:34:41.960
you hear it? The beating of the wings. They've been

1593
01:34:42.079 --> 01:34:43.800
close about the house all evening?

1594
01:34:44.000 --> 01:34:45.159
Oh have they?

1595
01:34:45.640 --> 01:34:48.800
The time is very near? Are you a good man,

1596
01:34:48.920 --> 01:34:49.680
mister reject?

1597
01:34:50.159 --> 01:34:51.119
I don't know, Frans.

1598
01:34:51.439 --> 01:34:53.560
I try to be a black angel with a bright

1599
01:34:53.680 --> 01:34:56.439
sword of righteousness and vengeance. Do you think we can

1600
01:34:56.600 --> 01:34:57.199
escape him?

1601
01:34:57.720 --> 01:34:57.960
Well?

1602
01:34:58.199 --> 01:34:59.319
I hope so. No.

1603
01:34:59.680 --> 01:35:02.479
No, Oh, don't you know what goes on in this house?

1604
01:35:02.920 --> 01:35:06.079
Haven't you seen them with the painted lips, the tinkling

1605
01:35:06.199 --> 01:35:08.560
rings and bracelets, and the vanity.

1606
01:35:08.239 --> 01:35:11.640
And the scar Yes, fans, what have you in your

1607
01:35:11.920 --> 01:35:12.399
bag there?

1608
01:35:13.000 --> 01:35:13.159
Oh?

1609
01:35:13.880 --> 01:35:18.720
Yes, my tools? Or as I work work day and night.

1610
01:35:19.399 --> 01:35:21.640
There's a dripping faced up in this colum room.

1611
01:35:21.920 --> 01:35:24.880
I have to fix it, ripping faucet?

1612
01:35:26.359 --> 01:35:37.920
Oh yes, what's the meta mystery deck? Did you think

1613
01:35:38.000 --> 01:35:38.479
of something?

1614
01:35:38.760 --> 01:35:38.880
Oh?

1615
01:35:38.960 --> 01:35:41.319
Yes, yes, yes, I was thinking that I must take

1616
01:35:41.399 --> 01:35:45.600
Carl out for a walk. Oh lord, Carl, down down, down.

1617
01:35:45.439 --> 01:35:47.479
There, Carl, he's a fine dog.

1618
01:35:48.039 --> 01:35:51.800
Frans, Yes, yes, go along, do what I told him.

1619
01:35:51.800 --> 01:35:54.840
It's late. Yes, yes, I do that.

1620
01:35:54.960 --> 01:35:55.560
I'm told.

1621
01:35:56.479 --> 01:35:59.800
Remove out of the midst of Debylon and go forth

1622
01:36:00.079 --> 01:36:01.319
to the land of the county.

1623
01:36:01.439 --> 01:36:02.920
And for the city.

1624
01:36:02.960 --> 01:36:04.680
Will I humble to the dust.

1625
01:36:04.960 --> 01:36:05.720
And this horse?

1626
01:36:06.079 --> 01:36:08.880
Will I make a pace of weeping and desolation.

1627
01:36:19.399 --> 01:36:21.600
The moment the old man called my attention to the

1628
01:36:21.680 --> 01:36:25.159
face that I had heard it. When I went back

1629
01:36:25.199 --> 01:36:30.000
into my room, I still heard it. I heard the

1630
01:36:30.039 --> 01:36:35.560
old man tinkering with the pipes, and the dripping grew

1631
01:36:35.680 --> 01:36:42.640
less and stopped. Then the shears began again. It was long,

1632
01:36:42.920 --> 01:36:49.800
sharp scisses cutting the dress. I forced myself to return

1633
01:36:49.880 --> 01:36:52.640
to my work, and for a while I heard nothing more.

1634
01:36:58.399 --> 01:37:03.119
Then I heard it. The dripping had begun again, but

1635
01:37:03.279 --> 01:37:05.600
this time it was no longer water that was dripping.

1636
01:37:09.760 --> 01:37:14.119
It was then that I knew. I sat frozen with horror.

1637
01:37:15.000 --> 01:37:17.720
It was the most terrible sound I had ever heard

1638
01:37:17.760 --> 01:37:21.399
in my life. At last, I got up and took

1639
01:37:21.479 --> 01:37:22.359
my cane and went.

1640
01:37:22.239 --> 01:37:22.720
To the door.

1641
01:37:23.520 --> 01:37:25.680
Car wished to go with me, but I closed the

1642
01:37:25.760 --> 01:37:28.760
door on him. It was later, somehow, in my confusion

1643
01:37:28.840 --> 01:37:33.960
that he slipped away. I started up the stairs. That

1644
01:37:34.279 --> 01:37:39.319
terrible sound grew louder. It came from Nancy's room. I

1645
01:37:39.399 --> 01:37:43.079
had just reached the top of the stairs. There was

1646
01:37:43.159 --> 01:37:45.600
no way for anyone to leave Nancy's room except in

1647
01:37:45.680 --> 01:37:50.439
my direction. It was then when I heard a fair

1648
01:37:50.560 --> 01:37:55.199
tale whisper. The murder had passed me in the darkness.

1649
01:37:57.079 --> 01:38:00.760
I went to Nancy's door. There was no need to

1650
01:38:00.840 --> 01:38:04.359
go in. I knew what was there as surely as

1651
01:38:04.439 --> 01:38:05.199
though I had seen.

1652
01:38:05.239 --> 01:38:08.000
It happened with the eyes I.

1653
01:38:08.199 --> 01:38:12.720
No longer have, for I could hear the steady dripping

1654
01:38:12.800 --> 01:38:21.399
of her blood. I closed the door and locked it.

1655
01:38:22.640 --> 01:38:25.119
I put the key in my pocket. I wish to

1656
01:38:25.159 --> 01:38:27.520
make certain that the criminal would have no chance to

1657
01:38:27.600 --> 01:38:31.560
return and cover up any evidence of the crime. Then

1658
01:38:31.600 --> 01:38:34.279
I returned to my room to wait for you officers

1659
01:38:34.279 --> 01:38:38.039
of the police to come. And now you would know,

1660
01:38:38.159 --> 01:38:42.359
as I knew, why Nancy Collins died and who killed her.

1661
01:38:49.079 --> 01:38:53.119
Well, are you people here confirmed what mister Jack says

1662
01:38:53.119 --> 01:38:54.479
about your movements last night?

1663
01:38:55.279 --> 01:38:55.520
Wait?

1664
01:38:56.279 --> 01:38:59.000
What did you mean about the tell tale whisper?

1665
01:38:59.359 --> 01:39:02.039
What is the U so any longer pretending? And you

1666
01:39:02.319 --> 01:39:05.840
killed her. Now you must pay for it. No, no, doctors,

1667
01:39:05.880 --> 01:39:08.439
you have already found her fingerprints and decisions with which

1668
01:39:08.760 --> 01:39:09.640
Nancy has stepped.

1669
01:39:09.800 --> 01:39:12.640
Oh naturally there were, missus Collins says as anyway, and

1670
01:39:12.760 --> 01:39:14.640
I have a suspicion that you will find the insurance

1671
01:39:14.680 --> 01:39:17.319
policy she took out on her daughter's life only last week.

1672
01:39:17.600 --> 01:39:20.119
That makes Edna Collins the beneficially in the event of

1673
01:39:20.279 --> 01:39:20.880
Nancy's death.

1674
01:39:20.960 --> 01:39:22.279
No, no, I didn't do it.

1675
01:39:22.399 --> 01:39:25.399
You better take her along, Come on, no, please.

1676
01:39:25.960 --> 01:39:27.640
Maybe I'm him selfish, but I hugged her.

1677
01:39:27.960 --> 01:39:29.000
He's lying because.

1678
01:39:34.000 --> 01:39:36.319
Well, mister Jack, I get several people.

1679
01:39:36.359 --> 01:39:36.760
Are you there?

1680
01:39:36.880 --> 01:39:37.399
Thanks for this?

1681
01:39:37.640 --> 01:39:40.479
And you owe me nothing if it could only bring

1682
01:39:40.560 --> 01:39:41.399
her back to life.

1683
01:39:42.199 --> 01:39:46.119
Come in, we found in TV Jack Dorman down in

1684
01:39:46.199 --> 01:39:47.720
the Tellar dinner all night.

1685
01:39:48.239 --> 01:39:55.840
Here, Carl, Carl, my poor old car here, Carl. What's

1686
01:39:55.880 --> 01:39:56.199
the matter?

1687
01:39:56.359 --> 01:39:56.439
Now?

1688
01:39:57.000 --> 01:39:57.399
Where are you?

1689
01:40:02.239 --> 01:40:02.840
What's the matter?

1690
01:40:02.920 --> 01:40:03.560
Don't you know me?

1691
01:40:05.239 --> 01:40:05.960
Mister Jack?

1692
01:40:06.000 --> 01:40:08.600
You say you shut your dog in your room before

1693
01:40:08.640 --> 01:40:13.079
you went upstairs last night. Yes, yes, you're certain, but

1694
01:40:13.279 --> 01:40:15.079
of course, and you say you did not go into

1695
01:40:15.079 --> 01:40:17.239
the Nancy Collins room after you discovered the murder.

1696
01:40:17.479 --> 01:40:18.960
No, no, I did not.

1697
01:40:19.199 --> 01:40:22.119
Well that's very strange, mister Reejack, because your dog did

1698
01:40:22.680 --> 01:40:24.119
his code is mattered.

1699
01:40:23.880 --> 01:40:24.520
With her blood.

1700
01:40:36.319 --> 01:40:39.279
I realized now that the dog must have followed me.

1701
01:40:40.399 --> 01:40:44.399
I heard him whimper when I struck. Then somehow he disappeared.

1702
01:40:45.720 --> 01:40:49.159
But before I locked the room, the beast must have.

1703
01:40:49.239 --> 01:40:49.920
Fallen on her.

1704
01:40:50.159 --> 01:40:57.119
Where she fell, Yes, I I killed her. It is

1705
01:40:57.199 --> 01:41:01.720
no matter now she reill Meaty, no, and now nor

1706
01:41:01.800 --> 01:41:06.840
will I. Yet it is true I heard those things, yes,

1707
01:41:07.880 --> 01:41:10.840
most of them. You would be amazed what I can

1708
01:41:10.920 --> 01:41:14.880
hear now, Even from where I sit, I can hear

1709
01:41:14.960 --> 01:41:16.880
the men at work at the place where they will

1710
01:41:16.960 --> 01:41:21.119
take me, although that place is many miles away. They

1711
01:41:21.119 --> 01:41:26.479
are hammering on the scaffolding interparation for me, and now

1712
01:41:26.560 --> 01:41:31.760
they are clambering up upon the platform. And now they

1713
01:41:31.800 --> 01:41:36.439
are about to test that ingenious device that will snuff

1714
01:41:36.520 --> 01:41:37.159
out my life.

1715
01:41:38.840 --> 01:41:59.720
Listen, they spring the trap, and.

1716
01:42:00.039 --> 01:42:03.600
So closes A world of Darkness presented by Roma Wines

1717
01:42:03.760 --> 01:42:07.960
and starring Paul Lucas, Tonight's Tale of Suspense.

1718
01:42:10.560 --> 01:42:12.760
In just a moment, we'll hear again from mister Lucas.

1719
01:42:13.079 --> 01:42:15.119
First of all, let's visit one of the great airports

1720
01:42:15.159 --> 01:42:18.880
in our country. The afternoon clippers just landed in the USA.

1721
01:42:19.399 --> 01:42:22.159
A North American and his newly arrived visitor from south

1722
01:42:22.199 --> 01:42:24.239
of the border are about to take a table at

1723
01:42:24.239 --> 01:42:25.119
an airport cafe.

1724
01:42:27.000 --> 01:42:29.479
Well, well, your type promised to returns you visit them, sire.

1725
01:42:30.079 --> 01:42:31.880
I'll try to make things as present for you here

1726
01:42:31.960 --> 01:42:33.520
as you made them for me, and you're a beautiful

1727
01:42:33.520 --> 01:42:36.039
home in rast, promise, how about some wine before dinner?

1728
01:42:36.079 --> 01:42:36.920
Carlis, thank you?

1729
01:42:37.319 --> 01:42:41.680
Some shery, certainly, Elliott, can we get here that wonderful

1730
01:42:41.720 --> 01:42:43.600
of roma wine we had the day as you left

1731
01:42:43.680 --> 01:42:44.119
my country?

1732
01:42:44.279 --> 01:42:47.359
Well, of course, cardus here we can have roma wine anytime.

1733
01:42:47.800 --> 01:42:51.039
To wind connoisseurs abroad. Roma wines are a rare treat

1734
01:42:51.239 --> 01:42:54.800
because shipping now is difficult and duty is high. But

1735
01:42:54.880 --> 01:42:57.199
here at home you can enjoy these great wines as

1736
01:42:57.239 --> 01:42:59.920
often as you like. Or Roma wines of all time

1737
01:43:00.439 --> 01:43:04.359
are made in our own California, highly prized and high

1738
01:43:04.439 --> 01:43:07.920
priced elsewhere, Roma wines here cost little enough to be

1739
01:43:08.039 --> 01:43:11.279
served even at everyday family meals. And what a difference

1740
01:43:11.319 --> 01:43:14.640
they make in meal enjoyment. Why don't you surprise your

1741
01:43:14.720 --> 01:43:19.560
family tomorrow with delicious Roma California sherry you never tasted finer.

1742
01:43:20.079 --> 01:43:22.560
You don't need a special menu or special glasses either.

1743
01:43:23.000 --> 01:43:25.800
Just chill the wine beforehand, and when your folks come home,

1744
01:43:25.880 --> 01:43:29.560
pour them a delightful glass of Roma. Almost all wine

1745
01:43:29.600 --> 01:43:34.079
dealers have complete assortments of Roma wines. They're America's largest

1746
01:43:34.159 --> 01:43:39.520
selling wines. Ask for Roma r O M A made

1747
01:43:39.560 --> 01:43:43.640
in California for enjoyment throughout the world. But before you

1748
01:43:43.760 --> 01:43:46.359
buy wine, buy war bonds and stamps.

1749
01:43:47.840 --> 01:43:52.439
This is poor Lucas again. Ladies and gentlemen, Germany murders

1750
01:43:52.520 --> 01:43:57.000
her crippers. We protect ours, help them back to normal

1751
01:43:57.079 --> 01:44:02.079
lives and to fight the major course of trippling infantile paralysis.

1752
01:44:03.239 --> 01:44:07.199
Every night from now till January thirty. First, sort out

1753
01:44:07.439 --> 01:44:09.760
all the dimes you have, then enlist them in the

1754
01:44:09.840 --> 01:44:13.760
March of Dimes. Send your contribution to President Rooseveld at

1755
01:44:13.800 --> 01:44:17.920
the White House. It's the American way, Thank you, mister Lucas.

1756
01:44:18.840 --> 01:44:24.680
Suspense presented by Roma Wines are a MA made in

1757
01:44:24.800 --> 01:44:28.840
California for enjoyment throughout the world. This is the Columbia

1758
01:44:28.880 --> 01:44:29.920
Broadcasting System.

1759
01:44:35.079 --> 01:44:39.840
I hope you haven't been frightened more than, of course

1760
01:44:39.920 --> 01:44:47.039
you appreciate my dear No, no, no, We'll be just fine.

1761
01:44:48.760 --> 01:44:51.399
I can feel the warmth coming off of your neck,

1762
01:44:52.439 --> 01:44:56.800
off of your body. It's not going anywhere, not if

1763
01:44:56.880 --> 01:45:03.119
I have anything to say about it. Just breathing and out,

1764
01:45:04.359 --> 01:45:10.800
knowing that the cold cannot win, that the light has

1765
01:45:10.920 --> 01:45:20.039
to come. We're in our way, simply on a dark island.

1766
01:45:37.680 --> 01:45:41.560
I am the whistler, and I know many things. For

1767
01:45:41.720 --> 01:45:42.600
I walk by night.

1768
01:45:43.359 --> 01:45:45.039
I know many strange.

1769
01:45:44.680 --> 01:45:47.119
Tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who

1770
01:45:47.159 --> 01:45:51.520
have stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless

1771
01:45:51.800 --> 01:45:54.039
terrors of which they dare not speak.

1772
01:45:57.800 --> 01:46:02.319
And now for the Whistler's strange story. Dark Island.

1773
01:46:09.600 --> 01:46:12.520
Dark island was a fitting background for the grim scene

1774
01:46:12.760 --> 01:46:16.119
just offshore. The waves on the beach all but drowned

1775
01:46:16.119 --> 01:46:19.760
the staccato reports of gunfire. But the man crouched low

1776
01:46:19.800 --> 01:46:22.960
in the tiny sailboat could see the stabbing bursts of

1777
01:46:23.039 --> 01:46:25.760
flame with each shot, hear the bullets sting into the

1778
01:46:25.800 --> 01:46:29.279
water around him. Yes, it was a very fitting background

1779
01:46:29.840 --> 01:46:32.800
because the tiny island had once been the sole property

1780
01:46:32.880 --> 01:46:37.000
of an underworld boss named Sid Stauffer. The huge old

1781
01:46:37.079 --> 01:46:39.840
mansion he'd built was still standing. It had been a

1782
01:46:39.920 --> 01:46:42.880
mute witness to many a shooting fray in years past.

1783
01:46:43.680 --> 01:46:46.439
Now it was a hotel, a focal point of the

1784
01:46:46.600 --> 01:46:49.359
little artist colony that had sprung up on Dark Island,

1785
01:46:49.840 --> 01:46:54.079
a gay bohemian group two preoccupied with their own activities

1786
01:46:54.159 --> 01:46:56.880
to be aware of the excitement taking place in the

1787
01:46:56.960 --> 01:47:00.439
nearby coal But the man in the boat, Earn Weagan,

1788
01:47:00.760 --> 01:47:04.079
was more than aware. Yes, er Nie, you maneuver the

1789
01:47:04.119 --> 01:47:09.039
boat frantically, fighting your way toward shore, and then abruptly.

1790
01:47:08.840 --> 01:47:12.119
The firing ceases, doesn't it. And a half hour later

1791
01:47:12.960 --> 01:47:15.840
you're back at the boat dock, tying up and very

1792
01:47:15.960 --> 01:47:16.800
much relieved.

1793
01:47:18.239 --> 01:47:20.119
Have a good cruise, mister Reagan.

1794
01:47:20.600 --> 01:47:24.079
Uh yeah, fine, Sam, give me a hand with a

1795
01:47:24.159 --> 01:47:29.279
stern line, William sure totch you're over, Yeah, got it,

1796
01:47:30.279 --> 01:47:33.159
Thanks Sam. Else she's made fast.

1797
01:47:34.199 --> 01:47:36.760
Missus Kennan was down to the dock looking for you.

1798
01:47:37.960 --> 01:47:40.720
Oh she's having a party there at the place.

1799
01:47:41.000 --> 01:47:43.399
I want you to stop in and meet some folks.

1800
01:47:44.159 --> 01:47:47.800
Oh all right, thanks Sam, I'll do just that.

1801
01:47:48.960 --> 01:47:50.760
Right night, mister Reagan.

1802
01:48:00.359 --> 01:48:01.680
Strange, isn't it, Ernie.

1803
01:48:01.960 --> 01:48:05.039
The contrast from those terrifying moments in the boat, with

1804
01:48:05.239 --> 01:48:08.399
someone firing down at your trying to kill you, someone

1805
01:48:08.520 --> 01:48:10.760
who might even be among the guests at the gay

1806
01:48:10.840 --> 01:48:14.199
patio party. It's still in your mind, isn't it. As

1807
01:48:14.239 --> 01:48:18.479
you stop by and Missus Tennor immediately takes you in tow, mister.

1808
01:48:18.319 --> 01:48:19.920
Reagan, I'm so glad.

1809
01:48:19.720 --> 01:48:20.680
You dropped in on us.

1810
01:48:20.800 --> 01:48:22.800
Well, the regular Islanders told me not to miss one

1811
01:48:22.800 --> 01:48:23.880
of Missus Tenner's parties.

1812
01:48:24.079 --> 01:48:26.479
This is just one of those impromptu things, mister Reagan.

1813
01:48:26.560 --> 01:48:31.640
But I guess practically everyone's here. Yes, what, Oh Julie,

1814
01:48:31.760 --> 01:48:35.560
my dear, good talkings were running low on Firewood. But oh,

1815
01:48:36.279 --> 01:48:38.600
excuse me, quite all right, my dear, I was just

1816
01:48:38.680 --> 01:48:41.960
trying to talk mister Reagan into joining us, mister Reagan,

1817
01:48:42.039 --> 01:48:43.119
Miss vincent.

1818
01:48:43.159 --> 01:48:46.079
Ernie, Hello, Ernie, not bashful, are you?

1819
01:48:46.640 --> 01:48:48.319
Oh it's not that out, then, come along.

1820
01:48:49.319 --> 01:48:52.640
You were asking me something, Julie in Firewood. Oh yes,

1821
01:48:52.760 --> 01:48:54.720
I'll see to it. You take Ernie on up to

1822
01:48:54.800 --> 01:48:59.600
the party. Go you one of the old timers on

1823
01:48:59.640 --> 01:49:00.000
the island.

1824
01:49:00.079 --> 01:49:03.960
Underney hardly I got here day before yesterday, sort of

1825
01:49:04.439 --> 01:49:06.039
you sort up?

1826
01:49:12.439 --> 01:49:14.680
Missus State wasn't kidding. Practically everybody is here.

1827
01:49:14.880 --> 01:49:15.920
They're all a lot of fun.

1828
01:49:16.520 --> 01:49:20.560
You probably know most of them a few, alright, Summary's

1829
01:49:20.640 --> 01:49:21.079
having fun.

1830
01:49:21.399 --> 01:49:26.399
I was until Aims showed up. Aimes, Yeah over there,

1831
01:49:26.479 --> 01:49:27.680
the one with the bill.

1832
01:49:27.520 --> 01:49:30.439
Hidden sneer, he writes, doesn't he trash?

1833
01:49:30.560 --> 01:49:33.159
Strict play trash? Another drink?

1834
01:49:34.640 --> 01:49:36.920
Doesn't seem to care much for honester Aimes?

1835
01:49:37.039 --> 01:49:37.319
Does he?

1836
01:49:37.600 --> 01:49:42.199
How many do understand? Ames? Isn't the friendly type? He resents?

1837
01:49:42.279 --> 01:49:43.239
New comings to the island.

1838
01:49:43.560 --> 01:49:44.520
Better watch my step.

1839
01:49:44.680 --> 01:49:47.439
I wouldn't worry about it. I feel like dancing.

1840
01:49:47.760 --> 01:49:48.600
How about your drink?

1841
01:49:49.000 --> 01:49:49.520
I can wait.

1842
01:49:58.880 --> 01:50:01.399
The incident at the cliff isn't forgotten, is it ronity?

1843
01:50:01.880 --> 01:50:04.239
But Julie helps to take your mind off at occasion,

1844
01:50:05.039 --> 01:50:07.359
and as the party progresses, you manage to meet some

1845
01:50:07.479 --> 01:50:10.000
of the islanders, and you wonder if one of them

1846
01:50:10.119 --> 01:50:13.760
was responsible for the attempt on your life. Later, you

1847
01:50:13.840 --> 01:50:17.319
find yourself in a small group seated near the fire, Julie,

1848
01:50:17.479 --> 01:50:22.560
Missus Tennor, Summers, and Winston Ames. The conversation suddenly veers

1849
01:50:22.600 --> 01:50:24.640
to a subject of great interest to you.

1850
01:50:25.359 --> 01:50:27.640
Yes, yes, i'n you, sid stopper.

1851
01:50:27.960 --> 01:50:30.479
I saw the house up there being built back.

1852
01:50:30.319 --> 01:50:33.279
In twenty seven. I think it was What was he like,

1853
01:50:33.439 --> 01:50:35.880
Missus Tenner? Not what you'd expect.

1854
01:50:36.760 --> 01:50:41.479
QUI salt spoken, cultured, interested, in the arts opposed perhaps

1855
01:50:41.600 --> 01:50:42.159
to cover up.

1856
01:50:42.800 --> 01:50:44.520
No, I don't think so, do.

1857
01:50:44.560 --> 01:50:45.479
You, mister Summers.

1858
01:50:46.000 --> 01:50:48.560
Oh he was genuinely interested, that's for sure.

1859
01:50:48.960 --> 01:50:50.239
You knew Stopper.

1860
01:50:50.800 --> 01:50:53.479
Yes, I was a newspaper man in the old days.

1861
01:50:54.000 --> 01:50:55.960
Stuffer took a liking to make. For some reason or other,

1862
01:50:56.039 --> 01:50:57.239
I got known pretty well.

1863
01:50:57.560 --> 01:51:00.079
That's what your novel is about, Summers.

1864
01:50:59.800 --> 01:51:02.199
No aims it isn't about Stuffer.

1865
01:51:02.399 --> 01:51:04.119
Well, then what is it about.

1866
01:51:04.079 --> 01:51:07.439
You wouldn't understand, and if you could, you wouldn't like it.

1867
01:51:08.800 --> 01:51:09.600
Philosophical?

1868
01:51:09.800 --> 01:51:14.600
Uh, perhaps deep, not very commercial, yes, so let's just

1869
01:51:14.760 --> 01:51:15.000
let it.

1870
01:51:15.079 --> 01:51:15.439
Go with that.

1871
01:51:15.640 --> 01:51:20.239
Huh, mister Summers, I've heard a story about Stafford.

1872
01:51:20.479 --> 01:51:21.960
Well, there's been a lot of them, Julie.

1873
01:51:22.439 --> 01:51:24.800
Do you think it's true that he actually buried over

1874
01:51:24.880 --> 01:51:27.840
a quarter of a million dollars somewhere on this island?

1875
01:51:28.640 --> 01:51:30.960
H malauckey, ridiculous.

1876
01:51:31.039 --> 01:51:32.560
I'd say, why should he do that?

1877
01:51:32.880 --> 01:51:33.680
What are banks for?

1878
01:51:34.640 --> 01:51:36.079
After all? A man in his position?

1879
01:51:36.279 --> 01:51:39.520
Yeah, I'd be a little afraid of bank accounts. Check

1880
01:51:39.640 --> 01:51:40.920
up income text.

1881
01:51:41.039 --> 01:51:43.720
Right, friend, mister Reagan has a point there, Summers.

1882
01:51:44.239 --> 01:51:46.800
Now, the story that there's a quarter of a million

1883
01:51:46.880 --> 01:51:55.840
bucks buried on this island is bunk, just bunk, But

1884
01:51:56.039 --> 01:51:57.119
it isn't you know?

1885
01:51:57.279 --> 01:52:00.319
The story is true, don't you any Do you know

1886
01:52:00.359 --> 01:52:03.439
where the money is buried? Yes, that's what brought you

1887
01:52:03.680 --> 01:52:07.239
to the island, and someone else, apparently that's someone who

1888
01:52:07.319 --> 01:52:10.359
tried to kill you. It's almost two in the morning

1889
01:52:10.399 --> 01:52:12.960
when you leave the party at Missus Tennis, start up

1890
01:52:13.000 --> 01:52:16.760
the path towards your cottage, and then you hear footsteps

1891
01:52:16.880 --> 01:52:17.399
behind you.

1892
01:52:18.960 --> 01:52:19.239
Ernie.

1893
01:52:20.239 --> 01:52:24.119
Ernie, Yeah, oh, Julie, I thought you'd gone back to

1894
01:52:24.199 --> 01:52:24.720
your cottage.

1895
01:52:24.920 --> 01:52:28.560
I wanted to talk to you. Oh tell me, Ernie,

1896
01:52:29.760 --> 01:52:31.960
how does it feel to be a free man again?

1897
01:52:33.720 --> 01:52:34.399
Free man?

1898
01:52:35.920 --> 01:52:38.479
Ten years in San Quentin is a long time, isn't it?

1899
01:52:40.560 --> 01:52:41.880
What's on your mind? Julie?

1900
01:52:42.640 --> 01:52:45.399
Like I said, I wanted to have a talk with you,

1901
01:52:45.600 --> 01:52:49.760
Ernie rut what a quarter of a million dollars darling

1902
01:52:50.520 --> 01:52:52.439
Bury somewhere on this island.

1903
01:52:53.600 --> 01:52:54.840
I know it's here, and so do you.

1904
01:52:56.479 --> 01:52:59.880
Wouldn't it be smarter if we worked together instead of

1905
01:53:00.119 --> 01:53:01.479
working against one another?

1906
01:53:34.479 --> 01:53:37.560
A quarter of a million dollars, Ernie, Yes, that's what

1907
01:53:37.720 --> 01:53:40.039
brought you to Staffer's Island because you knew it was

1908
01:53:40.119 --> 01:53:43.279
buried here. And now you learn that the attractive Julie

1909
01:53:43.359 --> 01:53:46.239
Vincent is well aware of that fact too, and you

1910
01:53:46.319 --> 01:53:48.880
wonder if she's responsible for the attempt on your life

1911
01:53:49.000 --> 01:53:51.840
earlier in the evening, as you cruised off the island

1912
01:53:51.920 --> 01:53:54.920
in a small boat, searching out the cave where you're

1913
01:53:55.039 --> 01:53:56.399
certain the money is hidden.

1914
01:53:57.800 --> 01:54:01.199
Look, sweetheart, I don't follow this line up conversation.

1915
01:54:01.079 --> 01:54:04.760
Don't you, Ernie. I had a boyfriend once.

1916
01:54:05.800 --> 01:54:11.680
His name was Jim Corsy Corsey, your roommate at San Quentin.

1917
01:54:12.880 --> 01:54:15.840
I used to visit him frequently, and then he died

1918
01:54:16.000 --> 01:54:17.760
six weeks ago pneumonia.

1919
01:54:17.800 --> 01:54:21.520
They said Jim Corcy was never what you might call robust.

1920
01:54:21.680 --> 01:54:25.520
And prison finished him. He didn't have to take that rap,

1921
01:54:25.560 --> 01:54:29.560
but he did to save his old friend Stopper. They

1922
01:54:29.640 --> 01:54:34.039
were very close, were they very That's how we know

1923
01:54:34.119 --> 01:54:37.079
the money is buried on the island, don't we, Ernie?

1924
01:54:38.199 --> 01:54:40.439
Did that Corsi say it was?

1925
01:54:41.159 --> 01:54:44.039
He was pretty certain of it, only he didn't know

1926
01:54:44.239 --> 01:54:47.000
just where it was. But he had a few ideas

1927
01:54:48.279 --> 01:54:49.920
ideas he might have passed on to you.

1928
01:54:50.680 --> 01:54:52.880
You heard what Summer said. The yarn about the money

1929
01:54:52.920 --> 01:54:55.760
being buried on the island is bunk, just bunk.

1930
01:54:55.520 --> 01:54:56.560
And what are you doing here?

1931
01:54:57.039 --> 01:54:58.359
I told you vacation.

1932
01:54:58.680 --> 01:54:59.680
Oh sure, sure.

1933
01:55:00.640 --> 01:55:03.199
The funny thing Jim Corson never never mentioned a girl

1934
01:55:03.319 --> 01:55:04.239
named Julie to me.

1935
01:55:05.079 --> 01:55:10.600
How about a girl named Agatha? Oh yeah, Agatha, Julie,

1936
01:55:10.680 --> 01:55:13.399
same girl. I sort of wanted to break off the

1937
01:55:13.479 --> 01:55:22.960
old ties. Agatha Clark Bright. Right, So here we are, Ernie.

1938
01:55:23.920 --> 01:55:24.880
What's the next move?

1939
01:55:26.600 --> 01:55:27.159
Is it up to me?

1940
01:55:27.319 --> 01:55:32.039
Sweethe it is, but do think it over. I'll be

1941
01:55:32.079 --> 01:55:33.720
down at the beach in the morning for a swim.

1942
01:55:34.520 --> 01:55:38.039
Let me know what your answer is. Then good night, Ernie.

1943
01:55:51.359 --> 01:55:52.239
There it is, Ernie.

1944
01:55:52.359 --> 01:55:55.920
The cards on the table Julie Vincent suggesting a partnership,

1945
01:55:56.279 --> 01:55:58.119
a fifty to fifty split of the money.

1946
01:55:58.640 --> 01:56:00.640
An attractive exciting, isn't she?

1947
01:56:01.279 --> 01:56:03.600
But you're not ready to accept her offer because you

1948
01:56:03.720 --> 01:56:06.800
feel you can't trust her. You're certain she's in leak

1949
01:56:06.920 --> 01:56:11.319
with someone. Perhaps there's someone who tried to kill you. Yes,

1950
01:56:11.520 --> 01:56:14.920
it could be a double cross, couldn't it, Julie working

1951
01:56:15.000 --> 01:56:17.319
with someone else, trying to find out what you know?

1952
01:56:17.600 --> 01:56:21.520
What your plans are? You think it over very carefully

1953
01:56:21.560 --> 01:56:24.840
that night and decide what you must do the following

1954
01:56:24.960 --> 01:56:26.199
morning down at the beach.

1955
01:56:30.319 --> 01:56:35.199
Well, oh, Ernie, morning, Julie, have a good night's rest.

1956
01:56:35.760 --> 01:56:37.600
Fire slept like a log.

1957
01:56:38.600 --> 01:56:39.520
Hading on your mind?

1958
01:56:40.079 --> 01:56:44.520
No problem, No, well maybe one.

1959
01:56:45.159 --> 01:56:45.319
Oh.

1960
01:56:46.760 --> 01:56:49.319
Someone tried to kill me last night, about half an

1961
01:56:49.359 --> 01:56:50.920
hour before I got to missus Tenney's.

1962
01:56:51.640 --> 01:56:54.079
Where did it happen near the caves?

1963
01:56:55.239 --> 01:56:55.439
Huh?

1964
01:56:56.399 --> 01:56:58.560
So there's someone else on the island who knows about

1965
01:56:58.560 --> 01:57:02.640
the money. It rather complicates things, doesn't it?

1966
01:57:03.239 --> 01:57:04.680
Yeah? Sort of.

1967
01:57:06.000 --> 01:57:07.800
You see, the cave can only be entered at low

1968
01:57:07.920 --> 01:57:12.720
tide and only by an experienced swimmer. Our competition isn't

1969
01:57:12.760 --> 01:57:14.000
an experienced.

1970
01:57:13.520 --> 01:57:17.359
Swimmer neither, am I, Darling? That's why I need a partner.

1971
01:57:17.960 --> 01:57:18.640
I don't.

1972
01:57:20.000 --> 01:57:20.880
Is that your answer?

1973
01:57:21.039 --> 01:57:21.079
No?

1974
01:57:21.319 --> 01:57:24.920
No, no, I thought it over very carefully, Julie. I

1975
01:57:25.079 --> 01:57:26.640
have decided we should team up.

1976
01:57:28.520 --> 01:57:31.800
I'm glad to hear that, Ernie, very glad to hear that.

1977
01:57:33.840 --> 01:57:34.680
What are your plans?

1978
01:57:35.880 --> 01:57:39.520
I'm going to get into that cave tonight. The tide

1979
01:57:39.520 --> 01:57:42.880
will be at its lowest step around eight o'clock, and

1980
01:57:43.000 --> 01:57:44.239
Summers is giving a party.

1981
01:57:45.359 --> 01:57:46.600
What's the party got to do with it?

1982
01:57:47.279 --> 01:57:49.600
I've got to hunch our competition is going to be there,

1983
01:57:50.600 --> 01:57:51.560
and that's where you come in.

1984
01:57:52.520 --> 01:57:53.439
What am I supposed to do?

1985
01:57:54.239 --> 01:57:59.399
Create a little diversion, you pull a faint faith me.

1986
01:58:00.800 --> 01:58:03.159
Really it all happens a few minutes before eight o'clock.

1987
01:58:03.199 --> 01:58:05.640
It will give me a chance to slip away unnoticed.

1988
01:58:15.840 --> 01:58:17.439
The trap is set, isn't it, Ernie.

1989
01:58:17.840 --> 01:58:21.039
Yes, you've tipped off Julie what your plans are, and

1990
01:58:21.199 --> 01:58:24.279
you're certain she'll reveal those plans to whomever she's working

1991
01:58:24.359 --> 01:58:28.000
with that night at Summer's party, Julie plays her part

1992
01:58:28.079 --> 01:58:31.840
to perfection, and in the excitement the confusion, you slip

1993
01:58:31.920 --> 01:58:34.840
out the side door and hurry down the path toward

1994
01:58:34.880 --> 01:58:38.079
the cliffs. And suddenly you veer off and wait in

1995
01:58:38.159 --> 01:58:43.439
the darkness. Then you hear the footsteps.

1996
01:58:47.760 --> 01:58:56.479
Hallo Ane, Oh, mister Regan, seeking inspiration, full of the party.

1997
01:58:56.319 --> 01:58:57.920
Got frightfully dull.

1998
01:58:58.000 --> 01:58:59.479
I thought I'd go for a walk.

1999
01:59:00.920 --> 01:59:01.479
Cigarette.

2000
01:59:02.600 --> 01:59:05.439
Yeah, don't tix my names?

2001
01:59:06.560 --> 01:59:07.239
Cold sort?

2002
01:59:08.560 --> 01:59:09.159
Did I get this?

2003
01:59:10.039 --> 01:59:18.239
Just thirty eight? No novelist went around carrying thirty eight.

2004
01:59:19.119 --> 01:59:24.560
Seems I've been double cross doesn't it. Well, never trust

2005
01:59:24.640 --> 01:59:28.840
a woman, Riagan, You mean Julie. Of course, I've made

2006
01:59:28.840 --> 01:59:31.359
a few mistakes in my lifetime, Reagan, but the biggest

2007
01:59:31.399 --> 01:59:34.640
I ever made was trusting Julie and she'll.

2008
01:59:34.479 --> 01:59:36.600
Double cross you too, she will.

2009
01:59:36.680 --> 01:59:39.439
I tell you, Oh look, Reagan.

2010
01:59:39.199 --> 01:59:42.239
Why don't we play it smart, meaning we split the

2011
01:59:42.279 --> 01:59:43.159
money fifty to fifty.

2012
01:59:43.199 --> 01:59:45.119
Leave Julie out of it. I intend to leave her

2013
01:59:45.159 --> 01:59:46.880
out of it, and you too.

2014
01:59:48.520 --> 01:59:52.399
Wait a minute, Reagan, Reagan, you wouldn't kill me in cold.

2015
01:59:52.520 --> 01:59:54.520
About those pot shots you took at me while I

2016
01:59:54.600 --> 01:59:55.199
was out in that boat.

2017
01:59:55.279 --> 02:00:15.840
No, sorry, sure, sure, I've thought about it, Julie. But well,

2018
02:00:16.159 --> 02:00:19.319
everybody these days is writing a historical novel.

2019
02:00:19.399 --> 02:00:22.279
Very good one, well true, true, But I don't Oh,

2020
02:00:22.600 --> 02:00:26.279
hello Reagan, Julie, Hello Ernie. Where are you? Then?

2021
02:00:27.239 --> 02:00:30.479
Outside? Jellygo colored me? He can really beat in the

2022
02:00:30.520 --> 02:00:31.720
ear drum off that boy.

2023
02:00:32.039 --> 02:00:34.720
You're telling me? Oh here here, You can't stand around

2024
02:00:34.760 --> 02:00:36.199
with a half empty glass in your hand. Let me

2025
02:00:36.239 --> 02:00:38.359
give you a refill, how about you, Julie? Oh no, no,

2026
02:00:38.680 --> 02:00:40.359
this is fine, Okay, be right back.

2027
02:00:42.199 --> 02:00:45.000
You were gone a long time, darling. Did you know

2028
02:00:46.239 --> 02:00:46.800
what happened?

2029
02:00:47.600 --> 02:00:49.439
I was followed, followed?

2030
02:00:50.520 --> 02:00:51.319
Did you see who it was?

2031
02:00:51.479 --> 02:00:51.520
No?

2032
02:00:51.760 --> 02:00:54.479
I didn't see anyone. As a matter of fact, had

2033
02:00:54.479 --> 02:00:58.079
a feeling someone was tailing me. I decided to shelve

2034
02:00:58.199 --> 02:00:59.079
my little plan.

2035
02:00:59.199 --> 02:01:02.079
That was smarting can't take any chances.

2036
02:01:02.840 --> 02:01:07.640
I'll I'll try again tomorrow night. As soon as they

2037
02:01:07.680 --> 02:01:09.800
get the money, we'll take off. We'll leave, We'll leave

2038
02:01:09.840 --> 02:01:10.279
the island.

2039
02:01:11.399 --> 02:01:13.359
I've always wanted to go to South America.

2040
02:01:13.800 --> 02:01:14.840
Rio is a nice place.

2041
02:01:14.920 --> 02:01:17.560
So they tell me a quarter of a million dollars.

2042
02:01:17.680 --> 02:01:21.159
Darling and just the two of us. You're not sorry

2043
02:01:21.239 --> 02:01:21.880
we teamed up?

2044
02:01:21.920 --> 02:01:22.159
Are you?

2045
02:01:22.960 --> 02:01:23.960
I'm not sorry at all?

2046
02:01:24.039 --> 02:01:27.560
Selearn what time are.

2047
02:01:27.479 --> 02:01:29.880
You going to the cave tomorrow night? And what can

2048
02:01:29.920 --> 02:01:30.560
I do to help?

2049
02:01:30.880 --> 02:01:34.439
Around eight? You can run a boat with offshore? All right,

2050
02:01:35.439 --> 02:01:36.680
we'll talk more about it in the morning.

2051
02:01:36.760 --> 02:01:36.920
Huh.

2052
02:01:38.319 --> 02:01:40.960
Right now, I feel like dancing, if you don't.

2053
02:01:40.800 --> 02:01:43.279
Mind, Ernie, I think i'd better go back to my cottage.

2054
02:01:43.560 --> 02:01:47.159
I have quite a headache, excitement, nervousness.

2055
02:01:47.199 --> 02:01:48.359
I guess, sure, Julie.

2056
02:01:48.439 --> 02:01:48.680
Sure.

2057
02:02:01.560 --> 02:02:04.600
So you walk Julie back to her cottage and outside,

2058
02:02:04.680 --> 02:02:07.600
in the shadow of the rose covered arbor, A tender

2059
02:02:07.680 --> 02:02:11.600
good night. Yes, And as you hold Julie close in

2060
02:02:11.680 --> 02:02:14.359
your arms, you wish things could be different, don't you

2061
02:02:14.439 --> 02:02:14.840
wear aname?

2062
02:02:15.199 --> 02:02:16.039
As she kisses you.

2063
02:02:16.840 --> 02:02:18.880
You want to believe she means it, but you can't

2064
02:02:19.600 --> 02:02:22.359
because you're certain she's just playing a part, that she's

2065
02:02:22.439 --> 02:02:25.319
been working with Ames, that it was she who tipped

2066
02:02:25.359 --> 02:02:28.319
off Ames to follow you from the party, That she's

2067
02:02:28.359 --> 02:02:30.600
only interested in the money and will do anything to

2068
02:02:30.680 --> 02:02:33.800
get it. You want to tell her Aimes is dead,

2069
02:02:34.279 --> 02:02:38.079
his body now washed out to sea. You wish she'd

2070
02:02:38.119 --> 02:02:39.560
confessed she'd been working with.

2071
02:02:39.680 --> 02:02:49.000
Ames, Julie Mesty, you know when you call me darling, Anne,

2072
02:02:50.119 --> 02:02:53.239
I almost believe you mean it, but you're not sure.

2073
02:02:54.520 --> 02:02:57.000
Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars there's a lot of money.

2074
02:02:58.680 --> 02:03:02.439
It's enough to gall to stage of big romantic pitch

2075
02:03:03.520 --> 02:03:05.159
to get her hands on some of them.

2076
02:03:06.039 --> 02:03:07.600
You took the words right out of my mouth.

2077
02:03:07.680 --> 02:03:07.920
Baby.

2078
02:03:09.199 --> 02:03:10.119
You know something, Ernie.

2079
02:03:10.880 --> 02:03:16.039
Yeah, a few hours ago you'd have had something. But

2080
02:03:16.159 --> 02:03:20.760
that was a few hours ago. Meaning money doesn't mean

2081
02:03:20.880 --> 02:03:23.600
so much anymore, daring, but.

2082
02:03:23.720 --> 02:03:26.319
I do, don't you know?

2083
02:03:32.560 --> 02:03:32.800
Yeah?

2084
02:03:35.039 --> 02:03:39.039
I guess I do anything else you want to.

2085
02:03:39.000 --> 02:03:43.239
Say, There isn't anything else, Darling, at least for now.

2086
02:03:53.920 --> 02:03:56.199
Back at your cottage, a few minutes later, you'll pack

2087
02:03:56.279 --> 02:03:59.880
your bag, glance at your watch. You'll still have several

2088
02:04:00.119 --> 02:04:02.640
hours to wait before the dawntide, when you can get

2089
02:04:02.680 --> 02:04:03.039
the money.

2090
02:04:03.920 --> 02:04:05.199
You feel bad about Julie.

2091
02:04:05.760 --> 02:04:09.119
Wish she'd told you about her working with Aames, then

2092
02:04:09.279 --> 02:04:10.199
you could believe in her.

2093
02:04:10.399 --> 02:04:13.600
But she didn't, not even when you gave her a perfect.

2094
02:04:13.319 --> 02:04:17.039
Opportunity, and you're almost certain she intends to double cross

2095
02:04:17.119 --> 02:04:20.560
you when it serves her purpose. Then you realize you

2096
02:04:20.600 --> 02:04:23.479
can find out, make certain whether Julie is really with

2097
02:04:23.680 --> 02:04:28.359
you or merely playing a part. Julie doesn't know Eames

2098
02:04:28.520 --> 02:04:32.359
is dead, his body washed out to see quickly, you

2099
02:04:32.439 --> 02:04:38.039
hurry outside, walk down the path toward ames cottage. Inside

2100
02:04:38.079 --> 02:04:40.920
the cottage, you type a note to Julie on Aimes stationery,

2101
02:04:41.560 --> 02:04:45.520
sign it with Ames initials w A. In it, you

2102
02:04:45.600 --> 02:04:48.840
say Aames is getting the hidden staffer money at Dawntide.

2103
02:04:49.720 --> 02:04:51.840
Ask her to meet him at a secluded spot near

2104
02:04:51.920 --> 02:04:54.720
the pier at three point thirty next morning. Be ready

2105
02:04:54.760 --> 02:04:57.640
to leave the island with him. Then you hurry to

2106
02:04:57.720 --> 02:05:01.560
Julie's cottage and slip the note under julie door. If

2107
02:05:01.600 --> 02:05:04.439
she shows up, you'll know that all she wants is

2108
02:05:04.520 --> 02:05:07.960
the stuff her money. You'll decide then what to do

2109
02:05:08.119 --> 02:05:13.079
about Julie. You start back towards your cottage. You hear

2110
02:05:13.119 --> 02:05:18.279
them close by. Recognize missus Tenner's voice summers his party guests.

2111
02:05:18.760 --> 02:05:20.800
You look around for a place to hide, but you're

2112
02:05:20.920 --> 02:05:21.600
too late.

2113
02:05:22.800 --> 02:05:23.479
Riggan Holder.

2114
02:05:23.840 --> 02:05:24.840
Why it's Ernie.

2115
02:05:25.079 --> 02:05:28.119
How nice We're going out on Jellicoe's boat for a

2116
02:05:28.119 --> 02:05:28.640
couple of hours.

2117
02:05:28.640 --> 02:05:29.439
Why don't come along?

2118
02:05:30.439 --> 02:05:30.600
Wow?

2119
02:05:31.239 --> 02:05:33.760
Thanks, I was just on my way back to the cottage.

2120
02:05:33.760 --> 02:05:34.840
You gotta catch a little sleep.

2121
02:05:35.159 --> 02:05:38.239
No, no, no, really, thanks, some other time.

2122
02:05:38.399 --> 02:05:39.640
I've got to get up early tomorrow.

2123
02:05:39.800 --> 02:05:42.720
Oh okay, okay, too bad you won't come along. Ernie

2124
02:05:42.840 --> 02:05:46.119
must have a big day plan for tomorrow. Yeah, big days,

2125
02:05:47.960 --> 02:05:48.960
a real big day.

2126
02:05:52.039 --> 02:06:18.600
Staffer's Island, usually quiet and peaceful, not at all a

2127
02:06:18.680 --> 02:06:21.920
reflection of its early days as a gangster's hideaway, was

2128
02:06:22.000 --> 02:06:25.880
now vibrant and alive with excitement. Its present day residents

2129
02:06:25.960 --> 02:06:30.600
clogged together, babbling nervously, wondering, talking in hushed tones about

2130
02:06:30.640 --> 02:06:34.680
the boats arriving one after another from the mainland, police boats,

2131
02:06:35.000 --> 02:06:40.640
newspaper boats, boats filled with the plane curious why, because

2132
02:06:40.680 --> 02:06:43.920
a killing had occurred, a killer had been apprehended, and

2133
02:06:44.079 --> 02:06:47.159
further a confession was forthcoming.

2134
02:06:47.439 --> 02:06:50.920
And it was all over. Only a few pertinent details

2135
02:06:51.000 --> 02:06:53.920
to be cleaned up for the police and the press.

2136
02:06:54.800 --> 02:06:57.199
Ah come on, Sheriff, I need a good story.

2137
02:06:57.279 --> 02:06:58.359
Come on, give me the lowdown.

2138
02:06:58.439 --> 02:06:59.680
Why was this guy murdered?

2139
02:06:59.760 --> 02:07:02.600
Well, it was a case of mistaken identity, and I

2140
02:07:02.720 --> 02:07:05.560
got that straight from the killer. You mean, this guy

2141
02:07:05.640 --> 02:07:08.840
that was killed, murderer thought he was somebody else, a

2142
02:07:08.960 --> 02:07:10.640
guy named Winston Ames.

2143
02:07:11.479 --> 02:07:12.760
Fuck he breaked for Ames.

2144
02:07:12.920 --> 02:07:17.000
Now maybe but maybe not. Ames is still missing. Nobody's

2145
02:07:17.000 --> 02:07:20.760
seen him since yesterday. But the motive, Sheriff, The motive

2146
02:07:20.880 --> 02:07:24.079
was Stauffer's money. Now, you boys know the story about

2147
02:07:24.119 --> 02:07:26.560
a quarter of a million dollars that Stoffer was supposed

2148
02:07:26.560 --> 02:07:30.119
to have hidden here. Ohh yeah, Well, according to the confession,

2149
02:07:30.600 --> 02:07:33.079
this guy Aames got a tip from somebody as to

2150
02:07:33.159 --> 02:07:36.439
where the money was hidden. He and his girlfriend Julie

2151
02:07:36.520 --> 02:07:39.640
Vincent came here to get it. But apparently that tip

2152
02:07:39.760 --> 02:07:40.279
was a phony.

2153
02:07:40.439 --> 02:07:43.239
Oh it's been a million phony tips about that though.

2154
02:07:44.760 --> 02:07:47.640
Well, a little later on, this guy Reagan showed up.

2155
02:07:48.159 --> 02:07:50.479
Now I'm beginning to get the picture.

2156
02:07:50.239 --> 02:07:52.520
And Julie Vincent made a play for Reagan to see

2157
02:07:52.560 --> 02:07:55.439
if she could learn anything. But then she felt for

2158
02:07:55.560 --> 02:07:58.640
Reagan in a big way and decided to double cross

2159
02:07:58.800 --> 02:08:03.600
Aimes him. Besides, huh, oh no, no, her original idea

2160
02:08:03.760 --> 02:08:07.079
was just to skip with Reagan. Then last night she

2161
02:08:07.239 --> 02:08:11.239
got a note apparently written by Ames, telling her Ames

2162
02:08:11.399 --> 02:08:13.439
was picking up the money early this morning and.

2163
02:08:13.600 --> 02:08:16.399
Asking her to meet him and skip with him. Well,

2164
02:08:16.479 --> 02:08:19.000
how come she shot Reagan? Well it was still pitch

2165
02:08:19.199 --> 02:08:21.760
dark at three point thirty this morning, of course, and

2166
02:08:21.880 --> 02:08:24.600
when Reagan showed up at the same time in the

2167
02:08:24.720 --> 02:08:28.600
same place that the note said Ames would be, Julie

2168
02:08:28.680 --> 02:08:32.600
Vincent naturally figured Reagan was Ames and let him have it.

2169
02:09:10.720 --> 02:09:13.560
Featured into Night's story were Bill Foreman as the Whistler,

2170
02:09:14.000 --> 02:09:18.239
Lamon Johnson, Gene Bates, Tom Brown, Glory, Ann Simpson, Brittwood,

2171
02:09:18.439 --> 02:09:22.720
and Larry Dodkin. The Whistler was produced by George w Allen,

2172
02:09:23.239 --> 02:09:26.000
directed by Robert Hafter, with story by Adrian John Doe,

2173
02:09:26.479 --> 02:09:29.840
usy by Wolver Hatch, and was transmitted overseas by the

2174
02:09:29.960 --> 02:09:33.920
Armed Forces Radio Service. The Whistler was entirely fictional, and

2175
02:09:34.039 --> 02:09:37.760
all characters portrayed on the Whistler are also fictional. Any

2176
02:09:37.800 --> 02:09:41.000
similarity of names or resemblance to persons living or dead

2177
02:09:41.520 --> 02:09:42.640
is purely coincidental.

2178
02:09:46.319 --> 02:09:51.640
My dear, it's going to be fine. The sun is

2179
02:09:51.800 --> 02:09:56.960
coming up very very soon the darkness will received.

2180
02:09:57.920 --> 02:09:58.439
For now.

2181
02:10:00.119 --> 02:10:06.520
You can breathe easy, knowing that now please consider joining

2182
02:10:06.600 --> 02:10:12.479
me here again, same time, same place. I'll be so

2183
02:10:12.760 --> 02:10:16.680
glad to have you here. It's such a delight. Yes,

2184
02:10:18.479 --> 02:10:23.439
so please do visit again. But now it's time for

2185
02:10:23.560 --> 02:10:26.720
you to return to your home, to your beautiful abode.

2186
02:10:28.000 --> 02:10:31.479
Once you conquer the darkness of your journey and go

2187
02:10:31.720 --> 02:10:35.800
through that warm threshold and lay your head on that soft,

2188
02:10:35.960 --> 02:10:41.119
cool pillow, do me one last favor and be thankful

2189
02:10:41.800 --> 02:11:01.079
for what you have. I'll be seeing you, you.

2190
02:11:03.279 --> 02:11:05.399
Mumbling lately of pregnant

2191
02:11:08.159 --> 02:11:08.800
Poo
