00:00:10.720 --> 00:00:16.120
Well, hello there, how are you, my dear, Well, I
2
00:00:16.280 --> 00:00:22.920
hope I know things have been a bit sticky as
3
00:00:22.960 --> 00:00:29.920
of late, but while you're here, all of that melts away.
4
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:37.799
These walls, concrete and thick as they are, keep most
5
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:48.200
things out and perhaps some things in. What's that? Oh no, no, no,
6
00:00:49.000 --> 00:01:00.359
probably not. These walls are strong, tough, powerful, unlike those well,
7
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:18.319
those walls of Jericho.
8
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:22.680
Come in.
9
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:30.400
Welcome, I'm e. G. Marshall. Welcome to the fear you
10
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:30.840
can hear.
11
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:37.079
Welcome to the world of terrifying imagination. We are about
12
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:38.640
to bring you a tale of magic.
13
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:41.359
What a word magic?
14
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.519
What do we mean by magic? What are we thinking
15
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:50.799
when we say something is magical? By only that we
16
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:54.239
do not understand how it came to be, or even
17
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:57.959
what it is that came to be, or, for that matter,
18
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.359
if it ever really did come to me. I was
19
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:05.040
standing between the windows, those two big windows, you know,
20
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:08.000
the ones with the great pier glass in between, and
21
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:10.680
I was looking straight ahead, so I can't say that
22
00:02:10.719 --> 00:02:13.919
I saw the door open, because I didn't. But all
23
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:17.719
of a sudden there was this terrible confusion. Men jumping
24
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:20.759
from their chairs, some looking frightened, half out of their wits,
25
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.439
others with expressions of joy in anticipation, some of them
26
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:29.400
crying out. Whom was it horror? Was it surprise? Was
27
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:35.719
it delight? I couldn't tell. It was all mixed.
28
00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:45.280
Up and.
29
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:44.400
Horror.
30
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:48.759
Mystery drama The Walls of Jericho was written especially for
31
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:52.800
the mystery, read by elst Eric and stars Robert Dryden.
32
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.680
It is sponsored in part by Anheuser Bush Incorporated Brewers
33
00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:11.080
a Budweiser. I'll be back shortly with that one. Anything
34
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:15.960
can have magic, a name, a poem, a faith, a touch,
35
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.520
a phrase of music, a sudden, silent thought that brushes
36
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:25.680
across the mind. But it won't be captured. No, not magic,
37
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:32.039
for magic merely happens. Watch out ready or not? Here
38
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:35.360
it comes. It's cold in here, don't you think it worth?
39
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:39.319
Drindle's gone to touch another log? It Bear's hurry on
40
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.439
the fire that burned itself out completely. It's asking a
41
00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:47.120
bit much, isn't it a drendle to hurry? I suppose
42
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:48.400
one shouldn't ask too much?
43
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:50.120
Ah, poor old Drindle?
44
00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:51.599
How old is he now?
45
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.879
Probably your guess, Ashley, and I wouldn't have it one.
46
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:57.800
He's been steward at the club since before I became
47
00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:58.240
a member.
48
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.080
Ah, here he comes. I don't like to see him
49
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:03.039
carrying along red size.
50
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:05.439
Rindle.
51
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:09.120
Ah, you were wanted something, miss Ashley.
52
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.599
Half an hour ago, Drindle, I asked a brand in soda.
53
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.480
But you have your brand name, miss Ashley. Ah, but
54
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:18.759
have I my soda, haven't you?
55
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:19.839
Oh?
56
00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:21.000
Oh you haven't.
57
00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:24.600
I get it for you right away, sir, right away.
58
00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:26.600
Possess your soul, impatience.
59
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:30.079
The club should really start to think of retiring him,
60
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:34.720
wouldn't you say? Stop to think? And so revenue? We
61
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:36.720
never actually get on with the thinking, do it?
62
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:42.839
Hello? Anybody have you seen this? Who's making that record?
63
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.279
Higgins just came in? Oh have you seen this?
64
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:48.199
Have you seen what?
65
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.279
I just took it off the bulletin board went through.
66
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:54.000
Now you're president of the club. You should be the
67
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:58.319
first who read it. About it's four o'clock in the
68
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:03.399
afternoon of January twelve. The devil will come down the
69
00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:07.160
chimney of the fireplace in the member's lounge.
70
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:08.480
Let's see that.
71
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.240
I just as minute took it off the bulletin board.
72
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:12.879
Who's playing jokes around here?
73
00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:13.040
Now?
74
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:13.600
This?
75
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:17.360
Did anyone here put this notice up on the bulletin board?
76
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.399
And let me see it winter at four o'clock in
77
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.240
the afternoon of January twelfth, the devil will come down
78
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:28.600
the chimney of the fireplace in the members Lade, that
79
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:32.680
fireplace right there, so very interesting, not interesting at all,
80
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.439
just a feeble attempt to be funny. It wasn't on
81
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:37.839
the bulletin board this morning. Ward was from there an
82
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:39.959
hour ago when I came in from dinner. I wasn't
83
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:42.399
tut work, and I said, into the sea. Somebody put
84
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.120
it there. The devil could have put it there, old rabbie,
85
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:47.000
Well he might have.
86
00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:51.199
He's very ingenious. I've heard. Let's not let ourselves be
87
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:55.040
carried away. And mister Ashley said, what is it? You
88
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:58.639
are so down, sir, Well shut it down? And then
89
00:05:59.319 --> 00:05:59.920
have you seen this?
90
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:00.759
Oh?
91
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:02.959
What is it? Mister Higgins found it pint of the
92
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:05.000
bulletin board here read it.
93
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:11.680
At four o'clock Jui twelfth, the devil shimmy the fire
94
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:17.519
placing Members Lodge. Ah, what does it mean? It means
95
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:20.560
that the devil will come down that jimney at four
96
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:23.040
o'clock on January quest that's.
97
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:23.439
What it means.
98
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:27.680
Or surely not, mister Higgins, definitely not It's a joke,
99
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:28.160
isn't it.
100
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:29.079
Of course it is.
101
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:33.360
But on the other hand, really cut with you and
102
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:35.160
your other Hell, let's.
103
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.079
Mark it down as a joke until we know better.
104
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:43.399
At least until then, anyway, until the afternoon of January twelfth,
105
00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:56.920
at four o'clock, which has.
106
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:57.800
Come to the table.
107
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:01.399
Don't please every one of them. They all still get cold,
108
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.560
those clods. Don't blame me. If it's world.
109
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.360
I've bamboozled them like a bunch of noodles. There are
110
00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:10.800
anytime you'd care to say what you're talking about. I'm
111
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:14.680
all here. If the thing goes meantime comes down, he
112
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:19.079
esteemed high and mighty members of the Ralph Waldo Emerson
113
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:24.240
Gentlemen's Club, from the President, the Exalted Mister Amos Winfer,
114
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:27.199
bobs down and imbeciles.
115
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:28.759
Now you didn't.
116
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:33.759
You're making trouble digit that remains to be seen, because
117
00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:36.000
they're just waiting for an excuse to give you the sack.
118
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:37.759
You're not so young anymore.
119
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:39.759
I know that matha not.
120
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:45.360
Always strictly teetotal on the job. I suspect I'm never drunk. Well,
121
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:48.519
a man needs to be a little elevated to spend
122
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:51.000
ten hours a day with those back based snobs.
123
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.600
But I flim flammdom.
124
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:56.720
Now look here, Timothy Drendle, don't you go doing anything
125
00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:59.639
to raise the hackles on those gentlemen and compoops, because
126
00:07:59.680 --> 00:08:01.920
if they should give you the old heave hole, you
127
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:04.199
know where you'd wind up. Don't you right here at
128
00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:06.000
home with me? And I won't have that.
129
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:08.600
They're not about to fire me, not right away.
130
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.360
As a matter of fact, it's I who may have
131
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:17.720
lighted a small fire under them, and they should be
132
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:19.199
starting to feel the heat.
133
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.800
Of it soon, now, very soon.
134
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:25.199
Kennothy, What have you done?
135
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:25.680
Oh?
136
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:26.800
Nothing, very much.
137
00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:31.600
I only posted a notice on the Burton burn Uh huh, what.
138
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:32.600
Kind of a notice?
139
00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:36.279
A modest little notice stating that on January twelfth, at
140
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.759
four o'clock in the afternoon, the devil would descend the
141
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:42.320
chimney of the fireplace and the members loud.
142
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:45.720
You said the devil.
143
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:49.399
He should receive the excitement, especially mister Higgins. Oh he's
144
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:52.720
such an emotional little man. You invoke the name of
145
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.919
the devil. No, I did no such thing, just summoned
146
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:57.000
up the devil.
147
00:08:57.799 --> 00:08:58.440
I played a.
148
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.440
Joke on those superior snobs who've been taking me.
149
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:03.679
For a joke all these years. That's all I did.
150
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:05.240
Once you summon up.
151
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:08.519
The devil, Timothy, it's not so easy to send him
152
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:09.120
back where.
153
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:10.919
He came from. Will you stop, at Martha.
154
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:14.600
I only want to make them worry, Those fine gentlemen
155
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:16.480
who've never had a care in the words since the
156
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:21.200
day they were brought worry. How about what worry? Will
157
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:25.639
he come down the chimney? Oh they'll worry from now
158
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:28.679
to the twelfth of January. And I'll be there ten
159
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:30.440
hours a day to watch them worry. And if his
160
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:34.000
satanic majesty does come down the chimney, but.
161
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:35.840
Then, oh he won't. He won't.
162
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:39.440
I wrote to notice myself, and obls above didn't dictate
163
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:39.840
it either.
164
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:41.639
That's what you're thinking, And I'm thinking.
165
00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:46.240
I'm thinking you started something, Timothy that he won't be
166
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:47.320
able to stop.
167
00:09:54.440 --> 00:10:00.440
Your coffee. Mister Winthrop, Oh, thank you do the fire
168
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:01.399
you've got going there.
169
00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:05.200
I always try to keep up a good, smart place.
170
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:11.159
There nothing special about this particular fire, Drindle, No, sir,
171
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:17.360
it's January twelfth, Rindle, and precisely three minutes before four
172
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:20.000
in the afternoon, is it indeed, sir?
173
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:21.960
Or come off at Drindle?
174
00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:25.960
Surely you're not indifferent to the heralded appearance of the
175
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:29.039
Prince of Darkness down the chimney. Well, it's really no
176
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:31.080
concern of mine, mister Winthrop.
177
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:34.919
You're a membership, doesn't share. You're a problem. Drindle lounges
178
00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:36.679
still to overflowing.
179
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:40.200
So it is said, I'd best stir myself. Father, gentlemen
180
00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:41.279
will be wanting coffee.
181
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:45.240
Bring me a brandy Drindle if you have the time.
182
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:49.120
For all the time in the world, mister Hagans, Oh,
183
00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:53.000
Drindle's the only cool character in the room, even Ashley,
184
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:54.440
who thinks this whole thing's matters.
185
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:56.840
Ashley doesn't even believe the devil exists.
186
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:00.440
For goodness, sex Well, he's still been sitting on that
187
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.679
little hassick by the fire laceince noon. I tried to
188
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:06.080
get him to lunch with me, but he wouldn't budge you,
189
00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:12.159
suspects and Kickler out, do you? It is possible, I suppose,
190
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:15.960
But who'd want to pay a trick like that? I mean,
191
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:18.200
even if someone wanted to.
192
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:19.360
How to go about it?
193
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:20.159
Now?
194
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:25.440
Don't suppose something er someone descends that chimney at four o'clock.
195
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:29.279
As I am firmly persuaded he will who of what
196
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:33.039
could do that. There's a great roaring fire going the
197
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:36.000
dndle saw that. I suppose someone with a perverse sense
198
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.320
of humor should toss a dummy down the chimney.
199
00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:39.919
We'd find it afterwards.
200
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:42.840
A lot of it was reduced to ash, but something
201
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:43.440
would remain.
202
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.360
He couldn't all burn up? Am I right?
203
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:51.440
Last cuddlerth he's the brainy one, gentlemen or prepared for
204
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:52.080
the big Norman?
205
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:53.000
Now I've got worth.
206
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:56.799
Only the devil himself could survive a trip down that chimney.
207
00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:59.960
Am I right? Come on? I'd say soon he is.
208
00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:07.080
Nearly time nervous. Well, I don't know what to think.
209
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:11.000
I mean, I don't know what to expect. Whole thing
210
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:14.080
is nerve wracking, positively devastating.
211
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:17.919
It's time.
212
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:27.399
Heeds him, the devil himself. He's there to see him
213
00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:28.240
playing his hair.
214
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:33.120
Certainly something there, someone more the devil. It's all, hey,
215
00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:33.799
the devil?
216
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:34.519
Is it really?
217
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:37.120
He can look at him standing in the baves. He's
218
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:40.799
loving Is he really laughing? Or old servant? Look at him?
219
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:43.480
He's gone, No, no, no, he's got He's here in
220
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:50.679
the flames, laughing in the fames. He said, oh oh,
221
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:56.840
now he's gone. Well that was quite an experience. Yes,
222
00:12:57.000 --> 00:13:01.559
it was, oh towards the more wonderful thing that's ever
223
00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:06.519
happened to be in my entire Oh, really extraordinary.
224
00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:11.000
Well, love and you are satisfied. William in Blaash, his
225
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.679
satanic majesty failed to put in an appearance.
226
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.879
Of course he put in an appearance. You didn't see him,
227
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:18.159
don't tell me you did.
228
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:19.200
Of course we didn't.
229
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:21.360
He was all in black and no, no, he was
230
00:13:21.480 --> 00:13:24.399
dressed in red and black and red. I thon had
231
00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:24.879
red hair.
232
00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:27.960
You couldn't see his hair he wore. I saw his
233
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:32.279
head was sort of waving in the flame word after something,
234
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:36.639
but it never got on fire. I distinctly remembered noticing.
235
00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:37.600
He wore a cap.
236
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:40.559
You couldn't see his hair, and his mustache would run
237
00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:41.879
old cap cap and.
238
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:43.399
A big black cape.
239
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:44.000
He kept his.
240
00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:46.480
Cape around him all the time he was donding theres.
241
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:48.960
But the cape was red, very bright red.
242
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:54.600
Now listen to yourselves, listen, will you You all saw him,
243
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:57.440
You all say you did, but each of you saw
244
00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:01.840
something different. Red cape, black cap, a black and red cape.
245
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:04.559
It's ludicrist, He's not ludicrous at all.
246
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:07.960
We were all over excited, full worksop over this thing,
247
00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:12.399
and maybe our our accuracy, our powers of observation, were impaired.
248
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:17.720
That's possible, except I know he wore a big black
249
00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:22.600
cape and big pot. You don't bother me, our Brandison
250
00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:26.559
Drindle settled this argument for us. Will you what was
251
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:30.120
the devil wearing? The devil, sir?
252
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:32.799
What was he wearing when he came down the chymney.
253
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:34.840
I wouldn't know, sir.
254
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:37.799
I was not in the lounge. I was fetching mister
255
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:42.639
Higgins Brandy. Did did devil make an appearance?
256
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:47.360
Paul?
257
00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:47.720
Then?
258
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.480
Was the devil dressed? Oh?
259
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:53.960
He was in his Sunday best. His coat was red
260
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.080
and his breeches blue. And there was a hole where
261
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:02.639
his tail came through. Those charming lines were written by
262
00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:06.159
mister Robert Southey at the turn of the century, but
263
00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:07.840
not our century, No.
264
00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:12.159
One hundred years before. Clearly the devil.
265
00:15:11.919 --> 00:15:13.320
Had time to acquire a.
266
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:14.399
New suit of clothes.
267
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:23.639
We'll be back shortly with that too.
268
00:15:19.559 --> 00:15:30.679
Did the devil indeed descend the chimney of the Ralph
269
00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:34.840
Waldo Emerson Club in the afternoon of January twelfth.
270
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.279
And stand laughing in the flames?
271
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:41.919
There isn't complete agreement among the club members even now,
272
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:46.360
more than a month later, cutworths, I have to talk
273
00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:47.759
to you through.
274
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:52.799
Have you seen it? I've seen it.
275
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:55.039
It wouldn't do any good to take it down from
276
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:57.519
the bulletin board, I suppose. And half the memberships already
277
00:15:57.639 --> 00:16:01.000
seen it and told the other half.
278
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:01.279
Laing Strakes again.
279
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:04.759
I never dreamed it would that you Well, it's a
280
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:08.240
slightly different bolt of lighting this time, not the devil,
281
00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:12.320
the white Goddess, I believe the noticing I copied it
282
00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:17.320
down on February eighth, at six o'clock in the evening,
283
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:25.639
the white Goddess will run naked through the member's lounge naked, Cudworth.
284
00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:29.919
Just who is the white goddess.
285
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:31.080
Daughter of a starter?
286
00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:31.840
I believe?
287
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:36.559
And just who is a starte? And sorry not to
288
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:39.399
be up on these things, but it's not really in
289
00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:41.679
my area of concern. I believe the starter is the
290
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:47.759
goddess of fertility and sexual love. It don't say that
291
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:53.759
would account were being naked, wouldn't it, Cudworth? Do we
292
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:58.240
still believe in such things? Goddesses of sexual love? Why
293
00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:01.120
shouldn't there be such a goddess? Why shouldn't she have
294
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:05.559
a daughter. Why shouldn't a daughter be called the White Goddess?
295
00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:06.000
See, you.
296
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.680
Don't believe she'll run naked across the member's lounge, do you.
297
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:14.839
I didn't believe the devil would come down the chimney,
298
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:17.119
but you did see him, didn't you?
299
00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:18.920
Yeah?
300
00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:20.519
Or something that looked they like.
301
00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:24.160
Him, assuming, of course I know what the devil looks like.
302
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:25.519
I'dworth.
303
00:17:27.240 --> 00:17:32.680
I saw his horns, did you indeed, have you seen it?
304
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:34.160
Have you seen the nose?
305
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:34.400
Yes?
306
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:35.480
Yes, yes, we've seen it.
307
00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:38.079
Do you know that members are pouring in tomorrow in
308
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:41.359
the country, or members that haven't been inside the club
309
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:44.160
in twenty years. We can't even begin to put them up.
310
00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:46.960
Half of them has stopped at Hotel of Heaven. Helpers
311
00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:49.720
won't share up windsor there's a chance the White Goddess
312
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:50.279
won't show.
313
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:54.400
I don't know, Tadworth. I have a sinking feeling that
314
00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:55.000
she will.
315
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:04.559
There isn't an empty hotel room in the whole of Boston.
316
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:07.480
Why are you doing this, Timothy? What are you getting
317
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:10.519
out of it? And I'm getting something off my own back?
318
00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:12.480
That's what I'll never understand you.
319
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:14.880
When you haven't left to now, that's for sure.
320
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:17.720
Playing jokes on people at your age, it's no joke. Well,
321
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:19.559
I don't know what else you could call it. It's
322
00:18:19.559 --> 00:18:24.359
a plot, a plot to make them squirm. Those fine
323
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:28.079
gentlemen with their fancy ways. Why should they go through
324
00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:31.279
their entire lives without knowing a moment's uncertainty or a
325
00:18:31.279 --> 00:18:34.960
pang of anxiety. They're always so damn sure of themselves
326
00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:40.960
all they're not sure any longer. They're divided amongst themselves.
327
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:43.839
Already on the subject of the devil, when I hear
328
00:18:43.880 --> 00:18:46.839
them jawing away about it in the lounge, what's he there?
329
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:48.680
Or wasn't he? What did he look like?
330
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:53.119
What to beware? Mister Higgins says red, Mister Winslip says
331
00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:56.559
red and black. Mister Cutward says nothing at all, just
332
00:18:56.680 --> 00:18:59.960
looks wise, And mister Ashley says the devil never came
333
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:02.119
down to the chymney at all. So there, every last
334
00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:05.079
one of them crazy when I tell you, that chatter
335
00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:06.279
and their argument.
336
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:09.079
Was guiding me right up the wall. But I put
337
00:19:09.119 --> 00:19:12.880
a stop to it, all right, And just how did you.
338
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:13.680
Manage to do that?
339
00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:17.799
By putting up the notice about the white Goddess? That's
340
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:22.359
how Now, they're all talking about her. And when is
341
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:27.640
this white goddess making her debut six o'clock tonight? And
342
00:19:27.759 --> 00:19:31.319
is she coming down the chimney now? Now, as the
343
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:34.400
notice says, on February eighth, at six o'clock in the evening,
344
00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:38.440
the White Goddess will run naked through the member's lounge.
345
00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:40.400
Where would she come from?
346
00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:41.039
Now?
347
00:19:41.119 --> 00:19:41.720
Should I know?
348
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:45.400
I only wrote the notice, but I think it would
349
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:48.400
be nice if she came in through the main door
350
00:19:49.319 --> 00:19:55.319
and went out through a window.
351
00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:08.200
That would be rather nic in the room is falling out.
352
00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:10.279
It's amazing. Oh, I don't know.
353
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:13.759
It is nortun if ever many of us gets to
354
00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:16.880
see the White Goddess run naked across the lounge.
355
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:19.519
Do you think they really believe? Well, who knows what
356
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:20.200
they believe?
357
00:20:20.799 --> 00:20:20.960
Come?
358
00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:26.680
Do you believe I'm here as you see? I suppose
359
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:28.839
that's the only puzzible answer when it's the.
360
00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:30.960
Only one hearing it gets.
361
00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:34.000
Do you believe in through like you?
362
00:20:34.680 --> 00:20:35.200
I'm here?
363
00:20:35.839 --> 00:20:36.279
What?
364
00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:37.359
What's the time? Time?
365
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:37.799
Time?
366
00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:40.880
Cud? What you always have the right time of stay Higgins.
367
00:20:40.920 --> 00:20:44.759
The clock on the mantle is exactly right, two minutes
368
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:47.079
to six, which my right.
369
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:49.119
If I should sit down and waved in saving this
370
00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:52.440
chair for you, Higgins. That's well.
371
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:55.960
The lounges very well ruled up, isn't it bursting at
372
00:20:55.960 --> 00:20:59.960
the seams. I've been studying all about the White Goddess,
373
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.680
m daughter of Astati, who in turn is the goddess
374
00:21:03.720 --> 00:21:05.880
of fertility and sexual love.
375
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:10.119
Oh you knew that, Cutworth.
376
00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:13.400
Told me, Cutworth, you really do know everything.
377
00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:16.440
On the contrary, I know very little. Well, you've always
378
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:18.640
seemed to me to know everything, and it's because you
379
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:22.480
know less. Mind if I join you, there's no place
380
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:25.319
to sit. Actually, oh what a kitty. You could sit
381
00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:25.960
on the floor.
382
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:28.960
Now how would I look sitting on the floor when
383
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:32.680
the White Goddess comes running across the lounge? No, no,
384
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:35.039
I think I shall join old drendle O over the
385
00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:37.200
window and perhaps he'll fetch me a brand.
386
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:39.839
Are you you haven't time? It's nearly sixth Oh you
387
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:44.119
mean I might miss got this ship? My my, that
388
00:21:44.279 --> 00:21:45.480
would never do.
389
00:21:46.960 --> 00:21:47.039
That.
390
00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:50.079
Ass doesn't believe she lived here? Why did he bother
391
00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:52.680
to come here at all? Because if he doesn't believe,
392
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:54.799
neither does in this belief.
393
00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:57.640
Just look at him laughing and joking with Prindle.
394
00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:01.799
That's probably the first time he's spoken to Drindle except
395
00:22:01.799 --> 00:22:04.119
to give him an order. You could say that about
396
00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:08.799
master us myself included Drindle's get old.
397
00:22:09.079 --> 00:22:17.559
For old Drindles. Oh it's time that the time has come.
398
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:27.920
Look a look at Who's beautiful? Sublime? Right goddess?
399
00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:32.160
Ah Never I never thought I should live to see
400
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:36.559
anything so beautiful, the most exquisite thing I ever saw?
401
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:39.480
Whatever, Chelseay, where.
402
00:22:39.240 --> 00:22:39.599
Did you go?
403
00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:43.480
She was here such a little time she died? Appe
404
00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:44.440
out to the window.
405
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:46.000
In the wall, I say no, no, no, no, to
406
00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:48.319
the window the one back of where actually standing with Drindle,
407
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:51.480
I saw Ashley turn and look out the window just
408
00:22:51.519 --> 00:22:55.279
as she vanished. You don't think it's possible he saw
409
00:22:55.319 --> 00:23:02.279
her too? Oh no, not Ashley. Well, ash w and
410
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:04.200
you will stopped staring at the stars. I'd like to
411
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:08.279
ask you something magnificent. Yes, the stars are magnificent. But
412
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:09.799
I have something else in my mind.
413
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:10.960
What's troubling you?
414
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:12.640
Cut with? Why?
415
00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:13.440
Nothing very much?
416
00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:13.880
Ashley?
417
00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:15.359
There's something troubling you.
418
00:23:16.319 --> 00:23:20.640
The way she disappeared, simply melted into the astral light.
419
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:27.400
Who melted into the astral light? Ashley? What little white goddess?
420
00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:29.000
But don't tell me you.
421
00:23:28.839 --> 00:23:29.599
Didn't see her.
422
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:34.960
Oh yes, I saw her, radiant in all her nakedness,
423
00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:39.519
glowing like mother of curl, her long hair flying out
424
00:23:39.559 --> 00:23:44.160
behind her. But then you saw her, yes near the
425
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:48.440
others Did they see her? Oh yes, of course everyone
426
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:54.680
must have seen her. Nodrendle, Yes, you saw no, mister Ashley, Oh.
427
00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:57.559
Come now, drender. Of course you saw her. We were
428
00:23:57.559 --> 00:23:59.480
standing here together, side by side.
429
00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:02.519
I didn't see anything, mister Ashley.
430
00:24:02.680 --> 00:24:05.279
Don't tell me you didn't see anything, you old liar.
431
00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:07.400
But I was busy with something.
432
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:11.160
You were not busy with something. We were standing here talking,
433
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:13.200
and the clock struck six, and the door opened that
434
00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:16.400
she came in, and she ran her feet hardly touched
435
00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:18.880
the floor, ran across the arms to this window, this
436
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:22.079
one right here, while her shoulder brushed mine. I felt it,
437
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:24.759
my left shoulder. And don't tell me you didn't see her,
438
00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:27.640
or I'll break your bag. I don't excite yourself, Ashley,
439
00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:30.200
with beautiful spectacle. It's ever been the good fortune of
440
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:32.640
any of us to witness. And this numbs called Glenville
441
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:34.640
stands there and tells me he didn't see it.
442
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:37.599
He was busy with something. Oh, I won't stand for it.
443
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:41.799
Tell me, you fool, that's plung a gut for it
444
00:24:41.880 --> 00:24:43.599
had blass for me for you to deny that you
445
00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:46.400
saw what I saw, but your saw I said it.
446
00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:49.039
Say you saw the white goffs run across this larm,
447
00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:49.519
didn't you?
448
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:53.279
Didn't you? You say it out for five? Actually this
449
00:24:53.400 --> 00:24:55.839
is going to he saw her. I know he saw.
450
00:24:55.960 --> 00:24:59.119
Having to ask me, please you'll sell me. He's going
451
00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:03.839
to admit it. Sleep. Yeah, Oh I couldn't you stay
452
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:08.640
out of this Cutworth? You might have killed him? Are
453
00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:09.440
you all right, Drindle?
454
00:25:09.920 --> 00:25:10.119
Eh?
455
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:14.480
Yes, yes, I am all.
456
00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:17.880
Right, Ashley. Go into the bar and buy yourself a drink.
457
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:21.880
You need it, Yes, I need it, I need it?
458
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:22.319
All right.
459
00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:27.759
You're sure you're all right, Drindom, Yes, quite quite sure,
460
00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:33.119
mister Cudworth. Oh, by the way, Drindle, did you see
461
00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:34.359
the white goddess or didn't you?
462
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:37.680
You don't need to be afraid to tell me.
463
00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:45.119
By the way, I didn't see anything, mister Cudworth. You see,
464
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:51.680
I was busy with something and I no, I didn't
465
00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:55.599
see anything at all.
466
00:25:58.680 --> 00:26:01.359
Well, I think game must be getting on home.
467
00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:06.359
Yes, it's bidden quiet at evening, isn't it quiet at evening?
468
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:11.079
And never to be forgotten evening beautifully, for I'm broke.
469
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:15.599
Come along, I'll drop you off. No, thank you, that's
470
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:21.160
all wrong, everyone not all wait up, yes, a way, well,
471
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:21.839
good work.
472
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.920
Never to be forgotten evenings at any rate. One, I'll
473
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:31.880
never forget my fancy, None of us will never forget you.
474
00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:35.799
Leaving now, no, I'm going to stay until the room's cleared.
475
00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:41.279
It's about cleared now, nobody much left. I uh, I
476
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:45.000
want to speak to old Dinderly. He doesn't look too happy.
477
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:47.240
And it was quite a going over Ashton gave him,
478
00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:47.599
wasn't it.
479
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:48.359
Look that way?
480
00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:52.000
Ashley can be a rough mann.
481
00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:58.680
Well, I'm off for home right, Well, hope I good work,
482
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:02.240
never not to be forgotten mine?
483
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:08.200
Oh Drindle, Yes, mister Winthrop, may I speak to you
484
00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:11.160
for a minute? Oh yes, of course, mister Winthrop. Of
485
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:16.880
course you are right, perfectly all right. I couldn't help
486
00:27:17.039 --> 00:27:20.880
noticing you were You and mister Ashley seemed to be
487
00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:25.920
having an altercation of some sort. Mister Ashley, who was
488
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:31.079
angry sir, because I wouldn't say I saw the white Goddess?
489
00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:35.720
And why wouldn't you say you saw the white Goddess?
490
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:38.200
Because I didn't see her?
491
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:43.440
But we all saw her, Drindle, Even mister Ashley saw her.
492
00:27:44.799 --> 00:27:48.119
She wasn't there, my dear man, She was there.
493
00:27:48.599 --> 00:27:52.200
She ran across the lounge all naked, just as the
494
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:53.400
notice said she wouldn't.
495
00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:55.880
Now, why do you persistent denying it?
496
00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:03.480
Because I wrote the notice, oh down, Drindle, And I
497
00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:06.720
wrote the other one too, about the devil coming down
498
00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:11.039
the chimney. I wrote them both, and I made them
499
00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:13.119
up out of my head.
500
00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:18.480
Why are you lying to me, Drindle? I'm not lying, sir,
501
00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:20.119
But of course you're lying.
502
00:28:20.920 --> 00:28:24.440
I don't know why you're lying, perhaps to make yourself
503
00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:25.799
important in our eyes.
504
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:27.720
I am not lying.
505
00:28:28.240 --> 00:28:31.599
But we all saw her, Drindle. It was the most
506
00:28:31.640 --> 00:28:33.200
exquisite moment of our lives.
507
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:34.000
We saw her.
508
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:36.119
Therefore you're lying.
509
00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:46.960
All minds are little in this great universe of ours.
510
00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:50.920
Man is a mere insect as compared with a boundless
511
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:53.079
world about him, as.
512
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:56.480
Measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of
513
00:28:56.640 --> 00:28:58.119
truth and knowledge.
514
00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:02.079
Yes, there is a white guarded.
515
00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:14.000
We'll be back shortly without three.
516
00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:17.160
Have you read your Shakespeare lately.
517
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:21.839
If you have, you remember Hamlet's observation to his friend,
518
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:26.720
there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than
519
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:30.799
are dreamt of in your philosophy.
520
00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:33.759
If you haven't read your Shakespeare. Now for the third
521
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:37.720
act of the Walls of Jerichos.
522
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:41.000
Coming to breakfast, Timothy, it's on the table. It's ridiculous,
523
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:44.720
absolutely absurd, said, trying to ruin me.
524
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:45.960
He's off again.
525
00:29:46.119 --> 00:29:48.200
I never even turned around when I heard them whispering
526
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:52.880
behind my back, Dindos getting on poor drindle. Jindos haven't
527
00:29:52.920 --> 00:29:55.599
dropped too much and part through all right, But when
528
00:29:55.640 --> 00:29:58.920
they called me a liar, and to my faith, I
529
00:29:59.039 --> 00:29:59.799
don't have to take that.
530
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:01.359
Who called you a liar?
531
00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:05.759
Mister Amos Winthrop, the president of the club, the highest
532
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:08.119
muckymuck of all the high muckymuck.
533
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:09.440
That's, oh for a kind of lie?
534
00:30:09.480 --> 00:30:10.200
Did you tell him no?
535
00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:10.559
Lie?
536
00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:11.799
I told him no, lie.
537
00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:15.160
I told him the God's own truth, that I had
538
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:17.640
written those notices and put them up on the bulletin board,
539
00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:19.839
the one about the devil coming down the chimney and
540
00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:22.200
the one about the white goddess running naked across the
541
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:22.920
lounge as well.
542
00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:26.839
Why wouldn't he believe you? Because he's a fool, the.
543
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:29.480
Biggest fool in a pack of fool, I said, why
544
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:33.200
wouldn't he believe. He says he saw the devil, saw
545
00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:36.519
him come down the chimney and stand in the flames.
546
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:38.200
And that most of the others saw him too.
547
00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:42.400
You all, but mister Ashley and a few other disbelievers,
548
00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:43.519
you should.
549
00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:45.279
Never have invoked the devil.
550
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:46.759
I told you that at the time.
551
00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:50.079
But even mister Ashley is saying that he saw the
552
00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:51.839
white goddess run across.
553
00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:57.039
The mountains, radiant in her nakedness, he says, blowing like
554
00:30:57.279 --> 00:30:58.279
mother of pearl.
555
00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:01.480
Imagine and mister Ashley talking like that.
556
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:06.240
He says, she brushed up against him, against his shoulder,
557
00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:10.039
and then went out through the window and melted into
558
00:31:10.119 --> 00:31:15.759
the astral light. Mister Ashley, of old people, maybe it happened.
559
00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:20.359
How could it have happened when I made it all up? Well,
560
00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:23.960
come eat your breakfast now when I can't, I'm to upset.
561
00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:27.160
You're more upset than they are, those fine gentlemen you
562
00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:28.279
were going to teach a lesson.
563
00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:29.920
Oh, if you worry, I'll fix.
564
00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:34.240
I'll put up another note long not him, and they
565
00:31:34.359 --> 00:31:36.759
don't start up on me this time. I'll make it
566
00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:42.920
so so crazy, so outlandish. They'll see that it's only
567
00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:45.279
a joke, they won't be able to help themselves.
568
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:45.839
Yeah.
569
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:48.839
No, let's see, we have a pen and a piece
570
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:52.960
of paper. Now, now what shall I.
571
00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:59.000
I need to get them excited or worked up waiting
572
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:01.680
for something and then let down when it doesn't happen.
573
00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:05.599
That's what I'm after. Yes, I've got it.
574
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:10.359
On March the second, at five o'clock. You see, they'll
575
00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:12.200
all be having drinks in the lounge about that time.
576
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:16.200
At five o'clock, a leopard will enter.
577
00:32:17.279 --> 00:32:19.599
Eh no, no, another leopard.
578
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:25.960
A tiger will enter the member's lounge. How's that as
579
00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:26.960
wrong as you don't make it?
580
00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:27.559
The devil?
581
00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:31.160
No, no, no, better yet, three tigers will enter the
582
00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:36.000
member's lounge. No, no, no, I don't like enters to sedate,
583
00:32:36.119 --> 00:32:42.440
sounding too tame. And we'll come through the windows. No,
584
00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:45.200
we'll crash through the windows.
585
00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:46.559
That is that's good.
586
00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:51.680
Crash through the windows other member's house. That should put
587
00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:54.920
mister Winthrop in his place somehow, Timothy, I don't think
588
00:32:55.039 --> 00:32:58.079
you were born to put mister Winthrop in his place.
589
00:32:58.799 --> 00:32:59.720
That's where you're wrong.
590
00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:03.880
It's precisely what I was born for, and this will
591
00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:04.119
do it.
592
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:07.000
Wait a minute, I told.
593
00:33:06.839 --> 00:33:08.400
Her something else, And what now?
594
00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:09.400
Listen to this.
595
00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:15.000
On March the second, at five o'clock, three tigers will
596
00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:19.359
crash through the windows of the members lounge, one.
597
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:24.880
Of them carrying a chicken in his mouth. Oh how's that?
598
00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:25.240
Mother?
599
00:33:26.480 --> 00:33:26.759
How's that?
600
00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:28.000
Oh?
601
00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:29.400
Oh that's perfect?
602
00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:40.839
Oh, Drindle, mister Winthroop, Yes, sir, stir up that fire,
603
00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:44.200
will you? Yes, sir, that's sir.
604
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:45.039
That's fine.
605
00:33:46.400 --> 00:33:48.400
Would you like another log, sir?
606
00:33:48.839 --> 00:33:50.039
No, No, that'll do it.
607
00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:53.240
I think weather's letting up a bit. Yes, it seems
608
00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:59.000
to be. You're in the club a bit early today, sir, Yes,
609
00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:03.079
a bit my years. It's only a little loud to four.
610
00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:07.400
Are you waiting for the tigers?
611
00:34:07.480 --> 00:34:07.680
Sir?
612
00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:08.840
How's that?
613
00:34:09.960 --> 00:34:12.400
I just thought perhaps you might have wanted to be
614
00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:15.239
the first one on hand when the tigers crashed through.
615
00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:20.400
That's all you'll be impertinent, Drindle. It's very unlike you, Drindle,
616
00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:23.719
is it, sir? Same as you're lying? It was unlike
617
00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:24.280
you to lie to me.
618
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:27.079
Yeah, I suppose it was, you know it was.
619
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:31.719
Now you're not going to tell me the latest notice
620
00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:34.840
on the bulletin board was also your invention, are you.
621
00:34:35.559 --> 00:34:39.119
I'm not going to tell you anything to I'm glad
622
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:42.039
to hear that. I'm sure you'll agree. It's not my
623
00:34:42.199 --> 00:34:43.480
place to tell you anything.
624
00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:47.039
I most certainly and emphatically do agree. I thought you
625
00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:49.920
would not that I'm certain that the three.
626
00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:53.519
Tigers will crash through the windows. Oh, I am not
627
00:34:53.599 --> 00:34:54.159
setting at all.
628
00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:58.320
It's absurd on the face of it, isn't it most absurd?
629
00:34:58.760 --> 00:35:03.719
Three tigers, well, perfectly ridiculous, and one with a chicken.
630
00:35:03.440 --> 00:35:03.960
In his mouth.
631
00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:10.119
Laugh, well, don't laugh, because it just may happen precisely
632
00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:11.320
as the notice predicts.
633
00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:13.599
We simply do not know.
634
00:35:14.400 --> 00:35:15.559
I promise not to laugh.
635
00:35:23.480 --> 00:35:27.639
Nervous cutwell, a few flutters. It's the uncertainty.
636
00:35:27.639 --> 00:35:28.039
Of course.
637
00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:31.199
I've been here since four o'clock. To imagine that I
638
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:34.199
had a hard time staying away. Manson had a few
639
00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:39.119
sharp words earlier with Drinder. Sorry to say, the old
640
00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:41.960
man's getting very independent, very opinioning.
641
00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:42.480
When is he?
642
00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:46.800
He's usually around taking drink orders by now, and he's standing.
643
00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:49.039
Over there by the main door, looking very superior.
644
00:35:49.840 --> 00:35:51.840
We really have to retire that fellow.
645
00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:53.920
Cutwork, cut work.
646
00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:55.079
Do you realize?
647
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:59.960
Do you realize people are standing outside of the side
648
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:01.960
walk This is the top batter anymore.
649
00:36:02.320 --> 00:36:03.639
It's spread all over the city.
650
00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:06.360
I can't say I care that it looks like hundreds
651
00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:09.000
of people. I tried to get Ashley to be with
652
00:36:09.199 --> 00:36:11.920
us for the for the great event, but he insists
653
00:36:11.960 --> 00:36:13.239
on his post by the window.
654
00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:18.239
Ashley by the window, Driddle by the main door. Well,
655
00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:21.800
come on, we should be quiet. It's time.
656
00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:26.800
I don't think our conversation will either deter or encourage.
657
00:36:26.880 --> 00:36:28.639
The tiger is all the same.
658
00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:31.840
You you just quiet?
659
00:36:41.119 --> 00:36:44.719
You want to kill David Welier.
660
00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:46.599
I don't think it will.
661
00:36:48.519 --> 00:36:51.480
The chickens they're making your door out of the white
662
00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:52.519
men all the way.
663
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:53.679
Father.
664
00:36:55.960 --> 00:37:05.559
He doesn't see the d did they is he? Don't
665
00:37:06.119 --> 00:37:06.559
don't look?
666
00:37:06.599 --> 00:37:08.239
Winter letter? Not look?
667
00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:14.199
Is Drindle to the tigers getting I don't know, Well
668
00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:15.960
he actually maybe he knows something, Ashley.
669
00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:18.760
What happened? Old Drindle's dead?
670
00:37:19.039 --> 00:37:21.960
Oh no, how did it happen?
671
00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:25.440
Heart attack apparently knocked the tigers.
672
00:37:25.880 --> 00:37:27.440
That isn't a scratch on him.
673
00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:30.960
They simply jumped over him, knocked down the big door
674
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:32.079
and disappeared.
675
00:37:32.679 --> 00:37:35.840
Old Dundall never believed in the tigers. Oh is it
676
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:39.119
conceivable he didn't see them?
677
00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:40.000
Oh?
678
00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:41.320
He saw them all right.
679
00:37:41.960 --> 00:37:42.880
How can you be sure?
680
00:37:43.920 --> 00:37:46.519
Don't you remember? Just before the tigers reached the door,
681
00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:47.760
he called for help.
682
00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:54.639
He saw them, he called for help, and he dies.
683
00:37:55.079 --> 00:37:56.360
I'll fright do you think?
684
00:37:57.559 --> 00:37:59.840
Can you think of anything more frightening than the sight
685
00:37:59.880 --> 00:38:03.119
of something you never believed in coming to get you.
686
00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:13.360
Let's step in here for a few minutes, gentlemen. We
687
00:38:13.519 --> 00:38:16.199
won't be diserving you, kd if we use part of
688
00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:16.639
the lounge?
689
00:38:16.639 --> 00:38:16.880
Will we?
690
00:38:17.320 --> 00:38:18.360
What happened in here?
691
00:38:18.440 --> 00:38:19.280
Mister Winton?
692
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:20.480
What's that?
693
00:38:20.639 --> 00:38:25.719
All the furniture? Our little freak is kat with some
694
00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:30.239
unexpected visitors. Let's set our drinks down here.
695
00:38:31.320 --> 00:38:34.440
Pull up chairs, everybody. There's a few that won't overturned.
696
00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:35.280
Help.
697
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:39.159
We'll have a new steward quarrel. Prom on him someone
698
00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:42.000
from the dining room. You'll never hold a candle to drindle,
699
00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:44.960
no matter who he is. Drendle over the good man.
700
00:38:45.199 --> 00:38:47.440
If you, gentlemen, are going to be used in this room,
701
00:38:47.519 --> 00:38:49.880
I can clear out and come back later. You go
702
00:38:50.039 --> 00:38:52.400
right ahead with your cleaning, kad if you don't mind
703
00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:54.800
sweeping around us? All right with me?
704
00:38:58.440 --> 00:38:58.880
Gentlemen?
705
00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:03.079
I asked you to meet with me here because I
706
00:39:03.159 --> 00:39:05.920
have a confession to me, and I am sorry I
707
00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:10.719
didn't tell you before but well, I didn't, But now
708
00:39:10.880 --> 00:39:15.239
I must. After the incident of the White goddessh gentleman
709
00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:20.880
Brindell told me that he himself posted those notices on
710
00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:25.119
the bullet board. Brindle who won about the girl and
711
00:39:25.239 --> 00:39:28.119
the White Goddess? That one too, I didn't believe in.
712
00:39:28.679 --> 00:39:32.239
After all, we saw the devil most of us, and
713
00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:33.679
we all saw the White Goddess.
714
00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:36.400
And to believe Drindle would be.
715
00:39:36.440 --> 00:39:39.039
To admit that he had the power to summon them up.
716
00:39:40.880 --> 00:39:44.320
What about the three tiger one with a chicken in
717
00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:44.760
his mouth?
718
00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:49.559
We saw him too, and in all probabilities, so did Dwindle,
719
00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:51.559
and the sight killed him.
720
00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:54.760
Is it possible that a man like Drindle have the
721
00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:57.360
power to invoke such things?
722
00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:01.880
I must now concede that he did.
723
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:02.960
There.
724
00:40:03.159 --> 00:40:07.079
I must take issue with your Winthrop Dndall only put
725
00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:12.320
up the notices. The power lay within us, the membership.
726
00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:16.440
I for one, claim no such power. You, for one,
727
00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:21.960
have no such power, Ashley, Nor have I, nor has
728
00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:23.880
Winthrop or Higgins.
729
00:40:23.599 --> 00:40:27.679
Or any member of the club separately or consciously.
730
00:40:28.280 --> 00:40:34.239
But unconsciously and collectively the power is ours together and
731
00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:39.400
without knowing it, we can do such astounding thing together
732
00:40:39.639 --> 00:40:43.480
and without knowing it. We are constantly doing astounding things,
733
00:40:43.519 --> 00:40:45.840
are we not, and always.
734
00:40:45.519 --> 00:40:48.519
Have, both for good and for evil.
735
00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:52.679
I call your attention to the biblical story of the
736
00:40:52.719 --> 00:40:57.440
Battle of Jericho. We all know that stone walls cannot
737
00:40:57.480 --> 00:41:00.519
be shattered by a band of men marching around them
738
00:41:00.639 --> 00:41:03.480
a final blast of trumpets and a great shout.
739
00:41:04.880 --> 00:41:10.280
We know that, and yet it happened the walls of
740
00:41:10.440 --> 00:41:12.519
Jericho fell. Uh.
741
00:41:13.760 --> 00:41:19.760
Why did they Consider the circumstances the Israelites outside the
742
00:41:19.840 --> 00:41:23.960
fortress city, the eagerness, the expectancy, and above all, the
743
00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:29.840
desire and the belief. Consider the steady camp of marching feet.
744
00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:35.039
Consider the narrowed concentration of the marchers. No man divided
745
00:41:35.079 --> 00:41:38.920
in his mind, and no mind divided from the mind
746
00:41:39.039 --> 00:41:43.199
of any other man. Consider the psychic pressure created by
747
00:41:43.400 --> 00:41:44.559
such a congregation.
748
00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:47.360
A mass hallucinated.
749
00:41:47.719 --> 00:41:54.559
Was no hallucination that Jedacho fell to Joshua. No, I
750
00:41:54.599 --> 00:41:57.480
should call it mass projection.
751
00:41:58.480 --> 00:42:01.320
And that's what happened here to us.
752
00:42:01.480 --> 00:42:08.639
We four of us, acting in concert, projected these apparitions
753
00:42:08.719 --> 00:42:14.800
by the sheer force of our unconscious minds. When we
754
00:42:14.920 --> 00:42:20.119
weren't wrong, we really saw them. The devil, the White
755
00:42:20.159 --> 00:42:22.400
Goddess the three tigers, one.
756
00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:25.719
With a chicken in his mouth. We really saw them,
757
00:42:26.519 --> 00:42:30.039
even as the walls of Jericho really fell.
758
00:42:30.519 --> 00:42:31.519
How dig your pardon?
759
00:42:31.639 --> 00:42:33.119
So what is it, Katie?
760
00:42:33.360 --> 00:42:35.920
Look what I swipped up over by the main doorty
761
00:42:36.719 --> 00:42:38.039
If I'm not mistaken?
762
00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:47.920
Did chicken s This has been going on, gatherer, And
763
00:42:48.159 --> 00:42:53.159
so ends our tale of magic. Our magician performs his tricks.
764
00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:58.079
We are delighted and applaud because we cannot comprehend how
765
00:42:58.159 --> 00:42:58.639
he did them.
766
00:43:00.000 --> 00:43:04.360
But what if the magician himself cannot comprehend. I'll be
767
00:43:04.480 --> 00:43:18.440
back shortly. Seek to know the truth, for the truth
768
00:43:19.199 --> 00:43:22.360
shall make you free. I believe that.
769
00:43:23.400 --> 00:43:26.159
But it's a long search and a weary one.
770
00:43:27.079 --> 00:43:29.840
And let's be glad that a lot of mystery remains,
771
00:43:30.559 --> 00:43:33.280
and there's a little magic here and there along the way.
772
00:43:34.840 --> 00:43:38.920
Our cast included Robert Dryden, Mary Jane Higbee, Ian Martin,
773
00:43:39.320 --> 00:43:43.840
Ralph Bell, Guy Serell, and Sidney Walker. The entire production
774
00:43:44.039 --> 00:43:47.920
was under the direction of Hyman Brown Radio. Mystery Theater
775
00:43:48.079 --> 00:43:51.079
was sponsored in part by the Kellogg Company, makers of
776
00:43:51.199 --> 00:43:52.760
Kellogg's special k Cereal.
777
00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:54.400
This is E. G.
778
00:43:54.599 --> 00:43:55.639
Marshall inviting you.
779
00:43:55.719 --> 00:43:59.400
To return to our Mystery Theater for another adventure in
780
00:43:59.519 --> 00:44:04.840
the Macay until next time, pleasant.
781
00:44:05.079 --> 00:44:23.960
Dream for a mystery theater.
782
00:44:24.119 --> 00:44:26.760
I was brought to you by shopride supermarkets where you
783
00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:30.800
get a lot more for a little less, by suburban
784
00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:34.559
savings with offices throughout North Jersey, and by your new
785
00:44:34.679 --> 00:44:36.039
Jersey Dodge Demons.
786
00:44:49.679 --> 00:44:55.840
My dear, you seem a bit hot in the face.
787
00:44:57.320 --> 00:45:03.239
I suppose that is the allow me to steep you
788
00:45:03.440 --> 00:45:10.280
another cup of tea, something hot and soothing, to help
789
00:45:10.400 --> 00:45:16.920
you balance. So to speak. The fire is raging, and
790
00:45:17.079 --> 00:45:22.719
I have another log waiting just for it. This night
791
00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:29.639
couldn't get much better, although it could use three good witnesses.
792
00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:46.400
You are speeding through the Turkish night on the Turles Express.
793
00:45:47.239 --> 00:45:51.079
You are alone and unarmed, and somewhere on the train
794
00:45:51.239 --> 00:45:54.920
is a calm killer from whom you must escape.
795
00:46:05.920 --> 00:46:10.079
Escape produced and directed by William N. Robson, and carefully
796
00:46:10.159 --> 00:46:12.800
contrived to free you from the four walls of today
797
00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:15.239
or a half hour of high adventure.
798
00:46:21.480 --> 00:46:25.079
Tonight, we escaped to Turkey and the Taurus Express, which
799
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:29.159
carries a shipment of death. As Harold Lamb told it
800
00:46:29.239 --> 00:46:48.719
in his exciting story Three Good Witnesses, I took.
801
00:46:48.639 --> 00:46:51.599
The Turrets Express that night because I was going home,
802
00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:56.199
back to the United States, back to California and my
803
00:46:56.719 --> 00:47:00.960
routine job at the oil company. Two days before, I'd
804
00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:04.199
given my final report to our state department, man liston Bull,
805
00:47:04.760 --> 00:47:06.679
a negative report to Ward.
806
00:47:06.760 --> 00:47:09.519
Your considered opinion is that there is no orderess area,
807
00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:11.280
not enough to be worth drilling for.
808
00:47:11.840 --> 00:47:14.480
Not at this late date. Ward be over before we
809
00:47:14.480 --> 00:47:15.960
could get out ten thousand barrels.
810
00:47:16.079 --> 00:47:19.199
And you're being optimistic, mister Ward. War isn't over yet.
811
00:47:20.039 --> 00:47:21.159
Who can say when it will be?
812
00:47:21.320 --> 00:47:23.920
Well, that's true, But what dos aarvark say? He agrees
813
00:47:23.960 --> 00:47:27.880
with me completely? Though it's Wyndham the British engineer. We're
814
00:47:27.880 --> 00:47:28.440
all agreed.
815
00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:31.480
Three good witnesses hmm, will in that settlety?
816
00:47:31.760 --> 00:47:34.079
What do you mean three good witnesses?
817
00:47:34.199 --> 00:47:36.360
Oh, that's no saying out here in the Middle East.
818
00:47:36.719 --> 00:47:39.440
Come from a Rabs to think in their old law,
819
00:47:39.519 --> 00:47:43.079
the testimony of three independent and trustworthy witnesses was enough
820
00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:45.920
to establish the guilt or innocence of an accused person.
821
00:47:46.800 --> 00:47:47.519
But why three?
822
00:47:48.039 --> 00:47:50.320
I suppose two witnesses to a crime might tell the
823
00:47:50.400 --> 00:47:53.039
same lie, But the three fellas tell the same story.
824
00:47:53.119 --> 00:47:54.559
Will it must be true?
825
00:47:55.320 --> 00:47:55.599
Maybe?
826
00:47:56.400 --> 00:47:58.519
Now I suppose the odds against three making up the
827
00:47:58.559 --> 00:48:01.639
same story would be high. I don't know whether I'd
828
00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:03.880
like to trust my neck with that kind of justice.
829
00:48:04.239 --> 00:48:06.880
Yeah, it is a little different from a justice back
830
00:48:06.920 --> 00:48:10.639
home in Chattahoocha County. Might you be wanting to get
831
00:48:10.679 --> 00:48:12.000
back to the States as soon as possible?
832
00:48:12.039 --> 00:48:13.119
Deed, I do well.
833
00:48:13.199 --> 00:48:15.559
I can put you on a tourist express Wednesday. You
834
00:48:15.719 --> 00:48:19.000
be in cairob Saturday, get an ATC plane that will
835
00:48:19.119 --> 00:48:20.239
have been Washington.
836
00:48:19.920 --> 00:48:20.599
Three days later.
837
00:48:20.760 --> 00:48:23.320
Isston Bull to Washington in less than a week? The
838
00:48:23.400 --> 00:48:24.320
small world, isn't it?
839
00:48:32.840 --> 00:48:32.880
So?
840
00:48:33.159 --> 00:48:36.360
I was booked on the Taurus Express eating Iston Bull
841
00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:39.679
on Wednesday night. I got the station late, and as
842
00:48:39.719 --> 00:48:42.760
I walked down the long platform toward the first class carriages,
843
00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:46.880
I sensed a tensness in the crowd. First couldn't explain it.
844
00:48:47.719 --> 00:48:50.000
Then I noticed that the platform is alive with police.
845
00:48:50.920 --> 00:48:54.000
They stood at the door of every car, motionless, solemn faced,
846
00:48:54.679 --> 00:48:58.280
carefully scrutinizing everyone who got aboard, And it seemed that
847
00:48:58.320 --> 00:49:00.519
every one of that bustling platform was aware of them.
848
00:49:01.679 --> 00:49:03.679
I found the car near the front of the train.
849
00:49:03.800 --> 00:49:07.840
A policeman stood the open door. I paused to verify
850
00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:10.559
the car number, and suddenly I heard a voice at
851
00:49:10.559 --> 00:49:11.000
my elbow.
852
00:49:11.280 --> 00:49:12.519
I thought I had missed you.
853
00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:15.039
Her of arms twined around my neck if her lips
854
00:49:15.079 --> 00:49:18.079
were kissing me. Ohtoo away to try to see her face,
855
00:49:18.119 --> 00:49:20.480
but she clung to me. Try to say something, but
856
00:49:20.559 --> 00:49:22.480
she kept talking so fast I couldn't get a word.
857
00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:24.639
And could you do this to me, to run over
858
00:49:24.639 --> 00:49:25.920
without even saying goodbye?
859
00:49:26.320 --> 00:49:29.000
I must be with you right up to the last minute,
860
00:49:29.559 --> 00:49:32.719
my dard last I could see her. She was beautiful,
861
00:49:33.239 --> 00:49:37.360
very young, and very beautiful turkishire creek. I couldn't tell which,
862
00:49:37.480 --> 00:49:39.000
but lovely, Why.
863
00:49:39.320 --> 00:49:40.920
You must let me go on the train with you,
864
00:49:41.280 --> 00:49:43.000
see you safely to your compartment.
865
00:49:43.360 --> 00:49:46.639
I cannot bear it, madam, I'm afraid you are making
866
00:49:46.679 --> 00:49:47.159
a mistake.
867
00:49:47.440 --> 00:49:51.280
Please please, you must help me. I won't explain, but
868
00:49:51.440 --> 00:49:52.039
I come.
869
00:49:52.480 --> 00:49:55.079
You will miss the train. I will see you safely
870
00:49:55.199 --> 00:49:58.960
on board. Come hurry so we may say our last
871
00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:01.119
goodbye in privacy.
872
00:50:01.760 --> 00:50:04.199
This last was thrown over her shoulder to the policeman
873
00:50:04.360 --> 00:50:07.119
standing there. She pulled me up the steps into the car.
874
00:50:08.000 --> 00:50:10.760
He stared at us, but he said nothing, And the
875
00:50:10.840 --> 00:50:13.079
moment we were standing in the deserted corridor.
876
00:50:13.760 --> 00:50:14.440
Thank you, sir.
877
00:50:15.360 --> 00:50:15.679
Thanks.
878
00:50:15.840 --> 00:50:18.000
Look here, young lady, what is all it.
879
00:50:18.159 --> 00:50:21.320
Is the fault of those police standing up there. I
880
00:50:21.400 --> 00:50:25.079
could not get into the car alone. This is a
881
00:50:25.280 --> 00:50:29.440
first class car, only rich foreigners riding first class compartment.
882
00:50:30.320 --> 00:50:33.000
I could see by you clothes you were American. I
883
00:50:33.119 --> 00:50:34.119
knew you would help me.
884
00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:35.800
But why did you want to get into this car,
885
00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:40.360
especially because I Suddenly she stopped. Her eyes were riveted
886
00:50:40.440 --> 00:50:43.360
on something behind my back. I turned to see a
887
00:50:43.440 --> 00:50:45.679
swarthy young man staring at us from the other end
888
00:50:45.719 --> 00:50:48.239
of the car. He was dressed in the uniform of
889
00:50:48.280 --> 00:50:52.519
a train conductor slid open a compartment door. There was
890
00:50:52.559 --> 00:50:56.519
an almost imperceptible jerk of his head, and then the
891
00:50:56.559 --> 00:50:59.920
girl slipped past me and into the open room. Conductors
892
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:04.079
lit the door shut after your number, sir, oh oh, yes, yes,
893
00:51:04.119 --> 00:51:06.840
sir twelve, Yes, the next one here.
894
00:51:08.320 --> 00:51:10.239
If there is anything I can do for you, I
895
00:51:10.239 --> 00:51:13.440
shall be pleased. If you care to leave your ticket
896
00:51:13.559 --> 00:51:16.000
and passport with me, I shall be able to attend
897
00:51:16.039 --> 00:51:18.039
to Syrian customs without disturbing you.
898
00:51:18.159 --> 00:51:20.480
Later, as he talked, his eyes were not on me.
899
00:51:21.400 --> 00:51:23.840
He was watching the slow progress of a policeman through
900
00:51:23.880 --> 00:51:27.920
the car. Officer was walking by, glancing at the each compartment,
901
00:51:28.599 --> 00:51:29.679
and he came opposite us.
902
00:51:29.760 --> 00:51:33.079
He spoke to the conductor Polyclach.
903
00:51:33.920 --> 00:51:36.199
Conductor was standing squarely in front of the door of
904
00:51:36.280 --> 00:51:40.360
the girl's compartment, hiding up from you. Policemen walked on
905
00:51:41.440 --> 00:51:42.519
the moment he had disappeared.
906
00:51:44.239 --> 00:51:46.199
Thank you, sir, I shall not disturb you.
907
00:51:47.000 --> 00:51:50.239
I went into my compartment. My bags were already there.
908
00:51:50.360 --> 00:51:52.480
The train was about to leave. Everything was in order,
909
00:51:53.320 --> 00:51:56.760
but I couldn't help wondering about the incident. I just
910
00:51:56.840 --> 00:52:00.400
witnessed it, but the girl I didn't voluntarily ham. Then
911
00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:05.960
the conductor wondered about all those police out there. Obviously
912
00:52:06.039 --> 00:52:10.199
something was going on. Then I remembered this resistant Buller
913
00:52:10.440 --> 00:52:13.320
gateway to the Middle East was supposed to be alive
914
00:52:13.440 --> 00:52:16.400
with acts of spies. Could that girl be?
915
00:52:17.400 --> 00:52:19.320
Then I laughed, yes, my.
916
00:52:19.639 --> 00:52:24.320
Overage, stay at home, mind imagining things. Then suddenly I
917
00:52:24.400 --> 00:52:27.800
heard a voice in the corridor outside. The voice was
918
00:52:27.880 --> 00:52:31.440
unmistakably American and music to my ears. I jumped on
919
00:52:31.519 --> 00:52:34.440
her feet and stepped into the corridor. There outside the
920
00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:37.679
next compartment was a young man in civilian clothes carrying
921
00:52:37.719 --> 00:52:40.800
a small bag and a briefcase. The swarthy conductor was
922
00:52:40.840 --> 00:52:41.519
approaching him with.
923
00:52:41.519 --> 00:52:44.320
The world, Look, huh, there's a dame in my compartment.
924
00:52:45.559 --> 00:52:48.800
There must be a mistake. This is compartment number ten.
925
00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:51.400
Naturally you think I can't read number ten? That's mine?
926
00:52:51.760 --> 00:52:55.440
But number ten is not sold. It is not marked
927
00:52:55.480 --> 00:52:55.960
on my list.
928
00:52:56.039 --> 00:52:57.599
The heck it is, and I've got the ticket right here.
929
00:52:57.719 --> 00:52:58.360
What's with the dame?
930
00:52:58.440 --> 00:52:58.760
Please?
931
00:52:59.039 --> 00:53:01.519
Not so, lie, I don't ye, I beg your pardon,
932
00:53:02.039 --> 00:53:05.280
I be of any help. Oh you're an American too, yep,
933
00:53:05.480 --> 00:53:08.800
I'm free ward Los Angeles, Tom Happy, I don't know you. Look,
934
00:53:08.840 --> 00:53:09.480
what's with the dame?
935
00:53:09.559 --> 00:53:09.840
Do you know?
936
00:53:10.039 --> 00:53:10.079
No?
937
00:53:10.199 --> 00:53:13.880
I'm afraid gentlemen, step into the compartment. Please, but the
938
00:53:13.960 --> 00:53:18.440
girl please in? Yes, okay, please, sir?
939
00:53:19.199 --> 00:53:19.599
All right?
940
00:53:24.480 --> 00:53:25.599
Happy Simon, not to come on?
941
00:53:25.840 --> 00:53:28.239
Hey, wait a minute, talk English? What's all this about?
942
00:53:28.280 --> 00:53:29.159
Anyway? It is?
943
00:53:30.679 --> 00:53:31.559
I am embarrassed.
944
00:53:32.000 --> 00:53:34.480
You're embarrassed. I buy a ticket and find a dame
945
00:53:34.559 --> 00:53:38.280
in my compartment. Of course, on a closer inspection, maybe
946
00:53:38.280 --> 00:53:39.360
I'm not so mad. After all.
947
00:53:40.199 --> 00:53:43.360
She looks like a good deal, thank you, sir. Oh
948
00:53:43.880 --> 00:53:47.119
you do speak English, sir. The policeman will come by.
949
00:53:47.199 --> 00:53:49.519
Maybe look in. I must ask of you a favor.
950
00:53:50.159 --> 00:53:53.000
If she could stay here just until the train has started,
951
00:53:53.519 --> 00:53:54.360
she will not bother.
952
00:53:54.280 --> 00:53:54.719
You after that.
953
00:53:54.840 --> 00:53:56.400
Why can't she stay in her own compartment?
954
00:53:56.480 --> 00:53:58.199
Please, sir, I have no place else to put her.
955
00:53:58.639 --> 00:53:59.960
All the other places are taken.
956
00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:01.719
Oh she's a dead head.
957
00:54:01.800 --> 00:54:02.880
Huh dead head?
958
00:54:03.079 --> 00:54:04.239
No ticket stow away?
959
00:54:04.519 --> 00:54:05.559
It is something like that.
960
00:54:06.159 --> 00:54:07.480
What's the setup? She your girlfriend?
961
00:54:07.599 --> 00:54:10.880
No, no, it is not like that. It is you.
962
00:54:10.960 --> 00:54:14.159
See, we are both Macedonian. She is escaping from the Nazis.
963
00:54:14.400 --> 00:54:16.639
She wants to go to Cairo to join the nurse Corps.
964
00:54:17.039 --> 00:54:19.920
She has been for two years in Greece under the Nazis.
965
00:54:20.440 --> 00:54:23.079
She is a real patriot. If you will help her.
966
00:54:23.360 --> 00:54:25.639
Or maybe if he introduced us and let her speak
967
00:54:25.679 --> 00:54:26.199
for herself.
968
00:54:26.440 --> 00:54:27.679
She is called Mara Dallas.
969
00:54:28.239 --> 00:54:32.719
Well let's make it marry for sure, marry the dead head. Hi, Mary, Hi,
970
00:54:33.840 --> 00:54:34.800
you're okay?
971
00:54:35.239 --> 00:54:35.599
Get her?
972
00:54:35.719 --> 00:54:36.719
She talks Americans.
973
00:54:37.280 --> 00:54:40.559
I spent two years at American school at Thessalonika. I
974
00:54:40.679 --> 00:54:43.159
work with Red Cross in Greece during the fighting. Right,
975
00:54:43.239 --> 00:54:46.159
so I like Americans. I want to go to the
976
00:54:46.280 --> 00:54:49.119
United States. I want to learn to be a real nurse.
977
00:54:50.119 --> 00:54:56.000
You will help me. Americans are always kind. This gentleman here.
978
00:54:56.480 --> 00:54:59.679
He helped me get on the train naturally. Now you
979
00:54:59.760 --> 00:55:05.960
will help me ha ha, okay, okay, thank you sir.
980
00:55:06.360 --> 00:55:08.760
Now I must go before the policeman gets suspicious.
981
00:55:09.199 --> 00:55:10.920
Shames may turn out to be your pleasure.
982
00:55:11.719 --> 00:55:14.840
Looks like you don't need me. I'm in the next compartment.
983
00:55:15.039 --> 00:55:16.400
Maybe we'll get together late yours.
984
00:55:16.599 --> 00:55:18.519
I'd offer you a seat, but we're sort of crowded
985
00:55:18.519 --> 00:55:19.800
already marrying me.
986
00:55:21.960 --> 00:55:25.000
I went back to my seat, laughing, laughing mostly at
987
00:55:25.079 --> 00:55:27.760
the silly idea i'd had that maybe Mary, the dead
988
00:55:27.760 --> 00:55:30.400
Head and a conductive friend were spies of some sort.
989
00:55:31.039 --> 00:55:34.800
Obviously they were harmless. It was harmless as I was,
990
00:55:35.320 --> 00:55:40.000
and that was completely harmless. Confounded, I looked out the windows.
991
00:55:40.079 --> 00:55:44.239
The train slid out of the station, leaving Turkey, leaving
992
00:55:44.280 --> 00:55:50.119
the war, going home back to complacent safety. Men were
993
00:55:50.159 --> 00:55:53.719
out here fighting and dying. They get no help from me.
994
00:55:54.760 --> 00:55:59.960
Me over age and useless. I felt pretty sorry for myself.
995
00:56:07.360 --> 00:56:09.000
It wasn't until the next day that I began to
996
00:56:09.039 --> 00:56:12.320
get acquainted with my fellow passengers. Neary the Deadhead was
997
00:56:12.760 --> 00:56:14.840
riding on the conductor's jump seat at the end of
998
00:56:14.920 --> 00:56:19.480
the car. The Ruvians an Armenian couple were in fourteen
999
00:56:19.480 --> 00:56:23.280
the capapa next to mine. Young Tom Hatfield was on
1000
00:56:23.400 --> 00:56:26.360
the other side of me and two Greek refugees, and
1001
00:56:26.440 --> 00:56:29.800
mister Chiniara and mister Drieka were next to him and Ate.
1002
00:56:30.880 --> 00:56:33.000
Hatfield kept pretty much out of sight all day. And
1003
00:56:33.480 --> 00:56:35.599
it was mister Ciniaro who shared a table with me
1004
00:56:35.599 --> 00:56:38.519
at dinner that night. I didn't much care for him,
1005
00:56:38.559 --> 00:56:41.440
but he was somebody to talk to. You and Mary,
1006
00:56:41.920 --> 00:56:44.519
you do not realize how lucky you are, No, I
1007
00:56:44.559 --> 00:56:45.039
suppose not.
1008
00:56:45.519 --> 00:56:47.559
You do not know what it is to be safe.
1009
00:56:49.079 --> 00:56:52.320
Just look around you. Almost all the passengers and this
1010
00:56:52.480 --> 00:56:55.559
express are refugees. All of them would pay much to
1011
00:56:55.639 --> 00:56:57.480
be going to the United States as you are.
1012
00:56:57.599 --> 00:56:58.559
Yeah, I suppose hope.
1013
00:56:58.599 --> 00:57:02.679
But yes, where else is there any security for us?
1014
00:57:03.760 --> 00:57:06.920
But you, sir, and your young friend are already secure.
1015
00:57:07.519 --> 00:57:11.480
Wherever you go, you are always safe, but it is
1016
00:57:11.599 --> 00:57:13.880
not so for us. Yeah, I suppose we do take
1017
00:57:13.920 --> 00:57:17.000
a lot for granted. And oh here's mister Happier now
1018
00:57:17.719 --> 00:57:18.280
happier there?
1019
00:57:18.519 --> 00:57:19.119
Would you join it?
1020
00:57:19.280 --> 00:57:19.559
Thanks?
1021
00:57:19.639 --> 00:57:22.519
No, I'll just say I insist I was just leaving.
1022
00:57:22.880 --> 00:57:25.519
You must join your friends, so really does mean insist?
1023
00:57:25.639 --> 00:57:25.960
Please?
1024
00:57:26.199 --> 00:57:27.480
Okay, thank you, mister.
1025
00:57:28.320 --> 00:57:32.719
It's been a pleasure and for me said good, good evening. Oh,
1026
00:57:32.880 --> 00:57:35.800
I haven't seen much here today, been resting, eh.
1027
00:57:35.880 --> 00:57:38.159
Something like that you ordered, Yes, I'll call the way,
1028
00:57:38.360 --> 00:57:41.800
never mind, you'll be back. Who's your slck haired friend, Oh.
1029
00:57:41.840 --> 00:57:45.079
Mister Geniar, he's a Greek refugee, just to escape from
1030
00:57:45.079 --> 00:57:45.599
the Nazis.
1031
00:57:45.920 --> 00:57:48.119
Everybody out here just escape from the Nazis.
1032
00:57:48.360 --> 00:57:51.239
You're saying, how lucky we are to be American. I
1033
00:57:51.320 --> 00:57:53.360
guess they don't see many of us in Turkey these days.
1034
00:57:53.519 --> 00:57:57.639
I guess you haven't seen many of us myself. Funny,
1035
00:57:57.679 --> 00:57:59.960
I didn't run into you in Istambul.
1036
00:58:00.360 --> 00:58:01.760
I wasn't there, just passing through.
1037
00:58:03.639 --> 00:58:03.760
Now.
1038
00:58:03.840 --> 00:58:06.159
I thought i'd have met you at the American Mission
1039
00:58:06.199 --> 00:58:10.159
of somewhere. No, I h well, I'm out here at
1040
00:58:10.159 --> 00:58:13.559
the State Department Oil, and I didn't have much luck.
1041
00:58:14.039 --> 00:58:15.440
I'm going home now, too bad.
1042
00:58:16.079 --> 00:58:19.360
M Plenty of things for US Americans to do out here, though,
1043
00:58:20.199 --> 00:58:23.119
like oil and other things.
1044
00:58:23.159 --> 00:58:23.320
You know.
1045
00:58:24.360 --> 00:58:27.760
Of course, they give the unimportant stuff to has beens
1046
00:58:27.880 --> 00:58:30.639
like me, met the good stuff beyond fellows like you.
1047
00:58:30.880 --> 00:58:35.679
Okay, mister Wood, what okay? I'm Tom Hatfield Frankfort, Kentucky,
1048
00:58:35.800 --> 00:58:38.519
White Protestant, twenty six. I'm married. No I'm not a
1049
00:58:38.599 --> 00:58:40.360
draft dodger, and no I'm not a wall And yes,
1050
00:58:40.360 --> 00:58:42.920
I'm here on business, which is none of yours. I'm
1051
00:58:42.960 --> 00:58:46.519
a captain Air Force two years overseas. You might say
1052
00:58:46.559 --> 00:58:49.280
officially I'm on a holiday. The fact is I'm taking
1053
00:58:49.320 --> 00:58:51.159
this train to a donna where I get off at
1054
00:58:51.159 --> 00:58:53.440
five tomorrow morning across the border and catch a plane
1055
00:58:53.440 --> 00:58:56.239
that's waiting to take me to Cairo. Anything else you
1056
00:58:56.280 --> 00:58:57.719
want to know, I'm sorry.
1057
00:58:57.800 --> 00:58:58.159
I don't know.
1058
00:58:58.400 --> 00:59:03.239
Sam, I'm sorry. I guess I'm getting on my own nerves.
1059
00:59:03.400 --> 00:59:05.719
Forget it when it's nothing. You needn't think that riding
1060
00:59:05.760 --> 00:59:08.119
on trains is kind of bad for a flyer makes
1061
00:59:08.159 --> 00:59:08.880
me jumping.
1062
00:59:08.760 --> 00:59:12.039
I understand. But you must have already been through a lot.
1063
00:59:12.559 --> 00:59:15.679
I do understand. I was in France in nineteen eighteen.
1064
00:59:16.000 --> 00:59:16.719
I know what it's like.
1065
00:59:17.280 --> 00:59:18.320
Maybe you know better than I do.
1066
00:59:18.440 --> 00:59:22.039
Oh, I wouldn't say that I envy you. I'd give
1067
00:59:22.079 --> 00:59:22.760
anything to be in it.
1068
00:59:23.119 --> 00:59:23.880
You're lucky you're not.
1069
00:59:24.119 --> 00:59:26.880
Oh, I know I know no fun being old and
1070
00:59:27.239 --> 00:59:28.199
useless like me either.
1071
00:59:28.639 --> 00:59:29.239
I envy you.
1072
00:59:30.119 --> 00:59:31.840
I can tell you're doing something important.
1073
00:59:32.360 --> 00:59:34.039
You can oh mh.
1074
00:59:34.599 --> 00:59:37.760
By the way, you're so careful at that briefcase, carried
1075
00:59:37.760 --> 00:59:39.800
it around with you all the time. You got it
1076
00:59:39.880 --> 00:59:42.880
on your lap. Now probably got something important in it.
1077
00:59:43.199 --> 00:59:44.280
The statues are something.
1078
00:59:44.239 --> 00:59:46.920
Sorry, I notice that, did you? I hope nobody else
1079
00:59:46.960 --> 00:59:49.199
on this train is so observant, mister Warden, Oh.
1080
00:59:49.440 --> 00:59:51.800
You're pulling my leg? What difference it was to make?
1081
00:59:51.840 --> 00:59:53.239
Anyway you can ever tell?
1082
00:59:53.800 --> 00:59:56.559
On a train like this out here you never know?
1083
00:59:56.679 --> 01:00:01.320
Oh you mean spies, Well, but why I haven't seen
1084
01:00:01.320 --> 01:00:02.400
anyone who looks suspicious.
1085
01:00:02.599 --> 01:00:06.159
Spies are never suspicious looking, mister ward There anybody, anybody
1086
01:00:06.199 --> 01:00:08.159
who wants to make a quick bucket, doesn't care how
1087
01:00:08.199 --> 01:00:11.320
he does it. This train is alive with people like that. Yeah,
1088
01:00:11.320 --> 01:00:15.440
but we'll just take for instance, Mary the Deadhead. She's
1089
01:00:15.519 --> 01:00:19.320
young and pretty, yes, but she's broke, had her shifty
1090
01:00:19.320 --> 01:00:20.599
eyed boyfriend, but conduct her.
1091
01:00:20.920 --> 01:00:23.760
But they had Greeks. She's a refugee, so she says.
1092
01:00:24.119 --> 01:00:25.639
But didn't it seem strange to you that he put
1093
01:00:25.639 --> 01:00:28.239
her in my compartment by mistake? My name wasn't on
1094
01:00:28.280 --> 01:00:31.440
the list, so he said, were you satisfied.
1095
01:00:30.920 --> 01:00:31.440
With their story?
1096
01:00:31.760 --> 01:00:34.280
Well, for a moment I was suspicious, but.
1097
01:00:34.360 --> 01:00:37.119
You can't take too much for granted. For instance, the
1098
01:00:37.199 --> 01:00:39.599
story I just told you I might be a spy,
1099
01:00:39.800 --> 01:00:42.320
mightn't I? That whole thing might be hogwash.
1100
01:00:42.480 --> 01:00:44.920
Well no, no, you're American.
1101
01:00:45.079 --> 01:00:45.480
I know that.
1102
01:00:46.360 --> 01:00:47.599
Who else would say hogwall?
1103
01:00:47.719 --> 01:00:50.199
No matter, I could be an American trader. There are
1104
01:00:50.280 --> 01:00:53.320
such things. Or you might be the spot. Yeah, they
1105
01:00:53.360 --> 01:00:56.880
even look like you, meek and mild cast her milk toast,
1106
01:00:58.239 --> 01:01:00.800
and their cover of stories are pips, like telling you
1107
01:01:00.880 --> 01:01:04.519
they're out here looking for oil. They strike up a conversation,
1108
01:01:04.599 --> 01:01:06.159
asked questions and notice briefcases.
1109
01:01:06.480 --> 01:01:07.320
Look now, look here.
1110
01:01:07.519 --> 01:01:08.360
Surely you don't know.
1111
01:01:08.440 --> 01:01:11.840
I don't think anything. I only say you never can tell.
1112
01:01:11.960 --> 01:01:25.920
Mister Ward, of course he was kidding me, pulling my leg,
1113
01:01:26.519 --> 01:01:29.679
but I didn't really mind. I liked him, and he
1114
01:01:29.760 --> 01:01:32.239
had a right to be cocky and flipped. He was
1115
01:01:32.320 --> 01:01:35.119
doing something for the war efforts. Even though I knew
1116
01:01:35.159 --> 01:01:37.679
he was kidding me. I went to bed thinking about
1117
01:01:37.760 --> 01:01:46.920
spies and fell asleep dreaming of him. And then very
1118
01:01:47.000 --> 01:01:50.480
suddenly I awoke with a terrible sense of urgency. There
1119
01:01:50.559 --> 01:01:53.000
was something that I must do. I looked at my watch.
1120
01:01:53.079 --> 01:01:55.599
It was ten minutes to five. The name was dark
1121
01:01:55.679 --> 01:01:59.360
and everything was quiet. Yet I felt I had to
1122
01:01:59.360 --> 01:02:02.840
get up. I started to put on my clothes. It
1123
01:02:03.039 --> 01:02:07.199
makes sense, But then I remembered it was Tom Hatfield,
1124
01:02:07.320 --> 01:02:10.000
not me, who had to get up at five. Dad
1125
01:02:10.079 --> 01:02:12.320
the train at a dan Etta crossed the border into
1126
01:02:12.360 --> 01:02:15.800
Syria and take his plane. Those despatches must be important
1127
01:02:16.280 --> 01:02:18.679
if he had to change to a fast plane as
1128
01:02:18.719 --> 01:02:25.840
soon as he got out of Neutral Turkey. When I
1129
01:02:25.920 --> 01:02:29.000
stepped out into the dimly lit corridor, it was deserted.
1130
01:02:30.400 --> 01:02:34.960
I knocked on Hatfield's door, no answer. I tried the handle.
1131
01:02:35.719 --> 01:02:39.760
The door slid open into darkness. Something was wrong. I
1132
01:02:39.840 --> 01:02:43.000
switched on the light and went in. Tom Hatfield lay
1133
01:02:43.000 --> 01:02:47.199
there in the bunk asleep. Hey Hatfield, rise and shine,
1134
01:02:47.239 --> 01:02:49.119
but coming into Madonna, you've gotta get off.
1135
01:02:50.480 --> 01:02:51.039
We shook him.
1136
01:02:51.400 --> 01:02:54.320
He didn't move. Then I saw blood on his pillow
1137
01:02:54.519 --> 01:02:57.880
and on his head. I looked round quickly. The briefcase
1138
01:02:58.000 --> 01:03:00.360
was gone. Keep for kim work in.
1139
01:03:00.920 --> 01:03:01.880
Is something wrong, sir?
1140
01:03:02.400 --> 01:03:04.360
Did either of you see anybody going to number ten?
1141
01:03:04.760 --> 01:03:04.800
No?
1142
01:03:05.480 --> 01:03:09.000
Nobody? Who should go? Do you have keys to the doors,
1143
01:03:09.320 --> 01:03:12.400
But no, there are no keys. They locked from the
1144
01:03:12.519 --> 01:03:15.480
inside the sliding bolt and chain. Nobody can get in
1145
01:03:15.599 --> 01:03:16.400
once they had locked.
1146
01:03:16.480 --> 01:03:20.440
Yeah, that's what I thought. I knew Tom Hatfield would
1147
01:03:20.440 --> 01:03:23.119
have locked that door. Somebody must have gotten in some
1148
01:03:23.239 --> 01:03:26.320
other way and left that car door open as a
1149
01:03:26.400 --> 01:03:30.320
false clue. But how Then I noticed the door which
1150
01:03:30.360 --> 01:03:31.280
connected to number eight.
1151
01:03:31.800 --> 01:03:33.360
I tried it. It was locked.
1152
01:03:34.039 --> 01:03:37.440
This didn't make sense, but through my mind was racing.
1153
01:03:37.559 --> 01:03:42.400
One thought, American dispatches have been stolen. Tom Hatfield is out,
1154
01:03:42.480 --> 01:03:46.320
It's up to me. I. I searched the room. I
1155
01:03:46.400 --> 01:03:49.360
found an automatic under the mattress, but no wheatcase. I
1156
01:03:49.480 --> 01:03:51.880
heard the train start up again. Who were leaving aDNA?
1157
01:03:52.840 --> 01:03:55.679
I looked again at the connecting door. Then I got it.
1158
01:03:56.519 --> 01:03:58.840
The bolt was fastened on the other side of that door,
1159
01:03:59.119 --> 01:04:01.400
but on this side it was not. That meant that
1160
01:04:01.519 --> 01:04:04.760
someone could have come in through number eight. I knocked
1161
01:04:04.800 --> 01:04:07.480
on the door. I heard a movement, and then the
1162
01:04:07.559 --> 01:04:10.239
boat slid back and the door swung open. I was
1163
01:04:10.360 --> 01:04:13.320
face to face with mister Giniara, and he was staring
1164
01:04:13.320 --> 01:04:16.840
at the gun in mind. What is that for the briefcase?
1165
01:04:17.280 --> 01:04:18.159
The bag of my friend?
1166
01:04:18.320 --> 01:04:18.719
Is it here?
1167
01:04:19.320 --> 01:04:23.239
Briefcase bag? We have here only our releases.
1168
01:04:23.320 --> 01:04:25.599
This door has been opened. Something is missing.
1169
01:04:26.079 --> 01:04:28.480
Oh, if you have lost something, I pray you to look.
1170
01:04:28.880 --> 01:04:32.000
I know nothing of it. Come in, please and look.
1171
01:04:31.880 --> 01:04:34.719
All right, I will. I'm not accusing anyone, but I
1172
01:04:34.880 --> 01:04:44.599
just want to be sure that. The next thing I
1173
01:04:44.679 --> 01:04:47.440
felt was a stinging cloonees some on my face. Rushly
1174
01:04:47.519 --> 01:04:49.920
wind and realized that I was hanging half out of
1175
01:04:49.960 --> 01:04:52.519
the window of the car and shutting me out of
1176
01:04:52.559 --> 01:04:57.360
the train. Savagely, I kicked for something given, and I
1177
01:04:57.760 --> 01:05:01.400
pushed myself back and slid down under the floor. I
1178
01:05:01.519 --> 01:05:04.960
got something hard under me, the gun. They didn't come pop,
1179
01:05:05.000 --> 01:05:07.639
and I saw them coming at me, Giniara and Rika.
1180
01:05:08.400 --> 01:05:09.119
I raised the gun.
1181
01:05:14.360 --> 01:05:14.760
What is it?
1182
01:05:15.239 --> 01:05:15.840
What does happen?
1183
01:05:16.480 --> 01:05:17.719
Look on the floor?
1184
01:05:17.760 --> 01:05:24.960
Set the door quickly, wait, let me look. Yes, both
1185
01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:26.800
of them finish.
1186
01:05:26.920 --> 01:05:28.800
They took the briefcase. I'm sure they did.
1187
01:05:28.920 --> 01:05:31.880
He who was shooting up the place? How when you
1188
01:05:31.960 --> 01:05:32.280
look at that?
1189
01:05:32.599 --> 01:05:33.199
What's happened?
1190
01:05:33.280 --> 01:05:35.440
Well, the briefcase it's here someplace, I'm sure it is.
1191
01:05:35.480 --> 01:05:37.559
Hey, wait a minute, you're all banged up here. It
1192
01:05:37.599 --> 01:05:39.039
looks like we both got bumped here.
1193
01:05:39.119 --> 01:05:39.360
Sit on.
1194
01:05:39.920 --> 01:05:41.880
You don't need a drink, Mary, You'll find a pint
1195
01:05:41.880 --> 01:05:42.920
in my bag. Bring it in here, will you?
1196
01:05:43.079 --> 01:05:44.400
But they got the papers?
1197
01:05:44.920 --> 01:05:46.119
We are to look they did?
1198
01:05:46.360 --> 01:05:47.519
Yeah, the briefcase isn't here.
1199
01:05:47.800 --> 01:05:48.440
I don't see it.
1200
01:05:48.679 --> 01:05:52.039
There wasn't anything in that briefcase except some old Istanbul newspapers.
1201
01:05:52.440 --> 01:05:55.280
I probably threw it out the window back at high here, Pasha,
1202
01:05:55.480 --> 01:05:57.079
I'm British, sure I know, warned me to be careful
1203
01:05:57.119 --> 01:06:00.400
on this trip. I put my classified material some myself.
1204
01:06:00.480 --> 01:06:03.519
But then that means I killed two men without any cause,
1205
01:06:04.079 --> 01:06:05.960
without a shred of evidence to back up my story.
1206
01:06:06.159 --> 01:06:07.000
How we waste time?
1207
01:06:07.360 --> 01:06:07.639
Quick?
1208
01:06:07.960 --> 01:06:10.440
The Syrian poor police got on the train at Tadanah.
1209
01:06:10.760 --> 01:06:12.719
They might be here any minute now.
1210
01:06:13.320 --> 01:06:13.920
Who is dead?
1211
01:06:13.960 --> 01:06:14.119
Here?
1212
01:06:23.360 --> 01:06:25.719
Mary the dead head took me into Hatfield's room and
1213
01:06:26.360 --> 01:06:29.679
carefully administered first aid to my cuts and bruises. But
1214
01:06:29.800 --> 01:06:34.480
Kivorkian and Hatfield were busy in number eight. What what
1215
01:06:34.519 --> 01:06:37.639
are they doing? Never mind, pay no attention, But they're
1216
01:06:37.679 --> 01:06:39.000
throwing the bodies out of the window.
1217
01:06:39.079 --> 01:06:40.599
Think not of it, please.
1218
01:06:40.920 --> 01:06:44.800
Heikivorkian is a Macedonian. When you fought the Germans at Thessalonika,
1219
01:06:45.280 --> 01:06:48.280
he threw bodies over the cliffs. He knows what he
1220
01:06:48.400 --> 01:06:51.760
is doing. But you you are a brave man too.
1221
01:06:52.320 --> 01:06:55.800
Even if you are not Macedonian, you would be judgment
1222
01:06:55.920 --> 01:06:58.360
tried for two or three years in spite of your
1223
01:06:58.400 --> 01:07:02.320
age and your innocence. It is better to have nobodies
1224
01:07:03.199 --> 01:07:05.480
that quite Now, Tibory.
1225
01:07:05.159 --> 01:07:07.280
Police, we got the wrong cleaned up just in time.
1226
01:07:08.400 --> 01:07:10.760
Nor Naradrica.
1227
01:07:11.280 --> 01:07:12.360
She has their passport?
1228
01:07:12.719 --> 01:07:15.039
I forgot, No, they're not here.
1229
01:07:16.079 --> 01:07:20.599
I can tell you about Andrica. This man here, mister Ward,
1230
01:07:21.199 --> 01:07:26.000
he is American general in disguise, secret service. He put
1231
01:07:26.599 --> 01:07:29.400
and Drinka off at Adana with pst.
1232
01:07:30.199 --> 01:07:32.760
They was five good heavens, you never believe that.
1233
01:07:32.960 --> 01:07:35.360
Never mind, this man is a Syrian. He does not
1234
01:07:35.480 --> 01:07:37.599
care what happens in Turkey. But do you have any
1235
01:07:37.639 --> 01:07:38.280
Syrian money?
1236
01:07:38.320 --> 01:07:38.480
Oh?
1237
01:07:38.599 --> 01:07:40.840
Yes, yes, here in my wallet.
1238
01:07:40.880 --> 01:07:45.159
Good, give it to me. Thank you, now gone with me.
1239
01:07:45.280 --> 01:07:48.280
Sorry, do not worry now, mister Ward. In a moment,
1240
01:07:48.679 --> 01:07:51.599
Kevorkian will have those passports. We but throw them at
1241
01:07:51.639 --> 01:07:53.440
the window and there will be no race.
1242
01:07:53.760 --> 01:07:56.280
And I think, Mary, I thought you might be drawing
1243
01:07:56.320 --> 01:07:57.480
down on access pay check.
1244
01:07:58.360 --> 01:07:59.079
It is no matter.
1245
01:07:59.679 --> 01:08:03.639
Now you're out of Turkey and before long I can
1246
01:08:03.760 --> 01:08:05.119
go to the United States.
1247
01:08:05.280 --> 01:08:06.679
Maybe that might not be so easy.
1248
01:08:07.360 --> 01:08:10.239
You've got no money, no passport, no transportation through the
1249
01:08:10.280 --> 01:08:11.000
combat zones.
1250
01:08:11.400 --> 01:08:15.000
Never mind, I shall do it. I walk to hear
1251
01:08:15.039 --> 01:08:18.680
from Macedonia. I can walk all the way, like Saint
1252
01:08:18.760 --> 01:08:20.159
Paul and the Bible walked to a room.
1253
01:08:20.319 --> 01:08:22.479
Well, I wish you luck, but you'll have a time
1254
01:08:22.520 --> 01:08:25.319
getting by British control of Aleppo. It can't smuggle a
1255
01:08:25.359 --> 01:08:26.399
pack of cigarettes passed them.
1256
01:08:26.520 --> 01:08:27.279
But what about me?
1257
01:08:28.039 --> 01:08:29.039
What about a murderer?
1258
01:08:29.239 --> 01:08:29.640
I don't know.
1259
01:08:30.319 --> 01:08:30.760
We'll see.
1260
01:08:39.720 --> 01:08:42.880
It is morning when the train pulled into Aleppo, the
1261
01:08:42.920 --> 01:08:47.840
station where British control came on, tripping me pretty awful time,
1262
01:08:47.920 --> 01:08:50.640
trying to act as if nothing had happened, with me
1263
01:08:50.800 --> 01:08:54.760
staring into that empty room, imagining Giniara and Rika sitting
1264
01:08:54.800 --> 01:08:57.720
there staring back at me. Maybe they had been spies,
1265
01:08:57.880 --> 01:09:01.680
maybe not. Now they were there and I was in trouble.
1266
01:09:02.520 --> 01:09:05.119
We knew that. The minute the train stopped. A soldier
1267
01:09:05.159 --> 01:09:07.239
stood outside our windows and said, look.
1268
01:09:07.039 --> 01:09:09.479
Here, everyone reminds it his place.
1269
01:09:09.279 --> 01:09:09.760
In this car.
1270
01:09:10.680 --> 01:09:14.199
We waited suddenly for many minutes, and a British major
1271
01:09:14.239 --> 01:09:17.239
in cocky short stepped in behind him. I saw Keeyborki
1272
01:09:17.279 --> 01:09:19.439
and and Marry the dead head standing in the doorway.
1273
01:09:20.000 --> 01:09:23.319
Good morning, I'm Radcliff looking for two missing Parsons just
1274
01:09:23.399 --> 01:09:27.279
identified as Greeks Giniara Andricar by name.
1275
01:09:28.319 --> 01:09:29.920
Who come now? They seem to have been in the
1276
01:09:29.960 --> 01:09:34.640
next compartment. Yeah, what became of them?
1277
01:09:34.760 --> 01:09:38.720
Were the too m young meddy? Yes, sir, you weren't
1278
01:09:38.760 --> 01:09:41.920
in number eight? Were you seemed to happen the other place?
1279
01:09:42.239 --> 01:09:43.800
Nor a Syrian entrance visa?
1280
01:09:44.119 --> 01:09:44.479
Please?
1281
01:09:45.439 --> 01:09:49.600
I sat down in the corridor squid conducted.
1282
01:09:49.640 --> 01:09:52.399
Don't you remember two Parsenger's book through Tulepro. One was
1283
01:09:52.439 --> 01:09:56.520
a stout man bookseller who escaped from Greece ten days ago.
1284
01:09:56.720 --> 01:09:59.680
The other a doors. They descended from the car at
1285
01:09:59.720 --> 01:10:03.439
that one was fat with slick hair and the other
1286
01:10:03.600 --> 01:10:05.760
eye Yes, I.
1287
01:10:05.760 --> 01:10:07.520
Say, isn't that a bullet hole in the wall up there?
1288
01:10:07.800 --> 01:10:09.359
And user, mister Ward, isn't it?
1289
01:10:10.119 --> 01:10:11.039
What did you hurt? Your foreign?
1290
01:10:11.239 --> 01:10:13.840
I an accident I bumped into boy.
1291
01:10:13.880 --> 01:10:16.960
Yes, cry, I should tell you that the Arminian couple
1292
01:10:17.000 --> 01:10:21.560
in number fourteen herd shots just after passing Donna. It
1293
01:10:21.680 --> 01:10:24.520
was a frightened they locked themselves into Now it's no use.
1294
01:10:24.680 --> 01:10:28.359
I shot them, both of them. They hit me first.
1295
01:10:28.600 --> 01:10:31.319
Please realize that I'm not joking. My orders are to
1296
01:10:31.359 --> 01:10:33.359
find those two pseudo Greeks wherever they may be.
1297
01:10:33.479 --> 01:10:35.720
Whatever you said pseudo Greeks.
1298
01:10:35.560 --> 01:10:38.359
You mean a major You want to find them?
1299
01:10:39.359 --> 01:10:42.840
And how does your Americans say? But why because we're
1300
01:10:42.880 --> 01:10:45.640
advised by Easton Bull that certain access agents have been
1301
01:10:45.680 --> 01:10:49.279
working out of the Balkans with identification as refugees. Please
1302
01:10:49.359 --> 01:10:55.199
do Giniara and Dicar were on this train. A man
1303
01:10:55.279 --> 01:10:57.239
on the train saw them throw something out at Dinna.
1304
01:10:58.359 --> 01:10:59.960
They hardly threw themselves up.
1305
01:11:00.119 --> 01:11:00.800
Now we did that.
1306
01:11:01.640 --> 01:11:03.399
Your man had hide a pasture, tipped me off to
1307
01:11:03.520 --> 01:11:05.840
expect trouble. Really so they were agent.
1308
01:11:06.079 --> 01:11:10.239
Certainly they were spies. I knew that no Greek would
1309
01:11:10.239 --> 01:11:13.279
be fat like Chiniara after only one week escaped from
1310
01:11:13.319 --> 01:11:14.239
the Germans.
1311
01:11:13.960 --> 01:11:16.359
And no Greek would have heroil from Paris.
1312
01:11:16.760 --> 01:11:17.720
Well, that being the.
1313
01:11:17.800 --> 01:11:20.520
Case, will somebody start telling the truth.
1314
01:11:21.239 --> 01:11:26.640
I will this mild little gentlemen, knowing nothing of the
1315
01:11:26.760 --> 01:11:30.399
war and fighting, he kills you two men in a gunfight.
1316
01:11:31.119 --> 01:11:36.800
How you say like nobody business? And now please he
1317
01:11:37.079 --> 01:11:40.079
is still suffering from shock, So will you please give
1318
01:11:40.159 --> 01:11:42.880
him a plane direct to Cairo where he can rest.
1319
01:11:43.600 --> 01:11:47.960
And this American courier he is late with dispatches. He
1320
01:11:48.119 --> 01:11:51.760
must have a place in the plane too, And and
1321
01:11:51.920 --> 01:11:56.960
think I cannot enter Syria without the passport. Will you
1322
01:11:57.039 --> 01:12:00.239
please put me although on the plane because in Hiro
1323
01:12:00.520 --> 01:12:01.960
I can get a job as a nurse with the
1324
01:12:02.000 --> 01:12:05.720
Ella Greeks from Matadoni who are there. And maybe God
1325
01:12:05.800 --> 01:12:08.039
will then give me a way to go to America,
1326
01:12:08.920 --> 01:12:12.720
like he passed Saint Paul through the Taurus gate. Is
1327
01:12:12.800 --> 01:12:17.600
it a deal major? Three places on the first plane,
1328
01:12:17.840 --> 01:12:22.880
and you have your men like the Royal Canadian whodies only.
1329
01:12:22.720 --> 01:12:26.199
Dead, HM claim to be arranged?
1330
01:12:26.239 --> 01:12:29.840
Of course, if all right, mister Ward, tell him, tell
1331
01:12:29.920 --> 01:12:32.239
him with the eyes of that amazing girl on me.
1332
01:12:32.920 --> 01:12:36.520
My courage came back. I told him my story completely
1333
01:12:36.720 --> 01:12:40.159
in every detail. He listened carefully and took it all
1334
01:12:40.239 --> 01:12:42.680
down in his pad, and afterwards he said, that.
1335
01:12:42.880 --> 01:12:45.319
Story, miss Ward, is not one bit of evidence is
1336
01:12:45.359 --> 01:12:48.319
supported by your own statement. The evidence is buried in
1337
01:12:48.399 --> 01:12:50.520
the snow on the slopes of the tourist mountain nuts.
1338
01:12:50.840 --> 01:12:52.600
I tell you I helped check it out, and I
1339
01:12:52.960 --> 01:12:54.039
examined the two men.
1340
01:12:54.920 --> 01:12:58.359
I am a train urse, and I said they were dead.
1341
01:12:58.439 --> 01:13:02.319
And for identification, I, a soldier of Macedonia, can swear
1342
01:13:02.520 --> 01:13:04.880
that their passports worthy men, you say.
1343
01:13:06.840 --> 01:13:10.760
Very well, I'll bring me here drom. The evidence of
1344
01:13:10.960 --> 01:13:13.600
three good witnesses is sufficient.
1345
01:13:33.079 --> 01:13:37.279

My dear, you've finished your tea. Allow me to freshen

01:15:08.640 --> 01:15:10.279
it up? Oh what's that?
1360

Well?
1361
01:15:12.199 --> 01:15:15.159
I wouldn't be much of a host, now would I?
1362
01:15:18.000 --> 01:15:18.199
Now?
1363
01:15:19.720 --> 01:15:23.920
Just relax? Is the chair to your liking? It is
1364
01:15:24.119 --> 01:15:28.760
my favorite seat, and of course that means it's your

01:15:29.000 --> 01:15:36.640
seat whenever you're here. Hm, the night has grown long,
1366
01:15:36.880 --> 01:15:46.000
but I feel like there's so much more hmm. Being
1367
01:15:46.199 --> 01:15:53.119

01:16:50.119 --> 01:16:52.680
young man who awoke one morning to find himself in

01:16:52.720 --> 01:16:56.159

1379
01:16:56.239 --> 01:16:59.680

tales calculated to intrigue you, to stir your nerves, to
1386
01:17:22.279 --> 01:17:26.199
offer you a precarious situation, and then withhold the solution
1387
01:17:26.880 --> 01:17:28.600
until the last possible moment.
1388
01:17:29.399 --> 01:17:29.960
And so it is.
1389
01:17:30.039 --> 01:17:33.239
With the performances of Preston Foster as Detective Denny Sullivan
1390
01:17:33.680 --> 01:17:37.119

Heaven another not drink it all is lats more so.
1393
01:17:52.960 --> 01:17:56.119
A guy named Joe wrote your hat you cannot hear

01:18:07.439 --> 01:18:14.119
I never seen Joe before in my life. How you

01:18:14.159 --> 01:18:14.800

1398
01:18:14.920 --> 01:18:15.199

01:18:30.359 --> 01:18:40.359
I'll help you. No, that's not a window. It's freaked out.
1405
01:18:40.399 --> 01:18:42.399
They put the building up right behind this one.
1406
01:18:43.159 --> 01:18:46.359
That's right. It comes right out of the walls.
1407
01:18:46.640 --> 01:18:48.199
Singing walls. Here.
1408
01:18:48.960 --> 01:19:06.800
We got hot and cold running water here and singing walls. Heaven, sure,
1409
01:19:07.600 --> 01:19:08.359

1410
01:19:09.279 --> 01:19:10.279
That's the idea.
1411
01:19:11.159 --> 01:19:14.680
Make yourself right at home. He lie down, Lie down
1412
01:19:14.760 --> 01:19:18.720

01:19:27.319 --> 01:19:29.640
I was gone? Which blood?
1415
01:19:30.640 --> 01:19:30.920
Sure?
1416
01:19:31.279 --> 01:19:33.520
Blood all over your shirt?
1417
01:19:34.560 --> 01:19:35.079
Oh him?
1418
01:19:35.840 --> 01:19:37.439
Oh, he's all right.
1419
01:19:38.079 --> 01:19:42.520
Just put him in the closet, locked the door like that.
1420
01:19:42.760 --> 01:19:45.720
See now you put the key right in your pocket
1421
01:19:45.800 --> 01:19:49.600
so you'll know just where to find it. Don't worry.
1422
01:19:49.840 --> 01:19:54.399
He'll be all right now. I'm not going any place.
1423
01:19:54.439 --> 01:19:58.640

No, no, no, let me out here, Let me out
1426
01:20:10.319 --> 01:20:10.560
of here.
1427
01:20:10.720 --> 01:20:33.840
Tommy, Tommy, wake up? What is it knocking at your door?
1428
01:20:33.920 --> 01:20:36.920
The longest time? You were having a dream or something?
1429
01:20:37.760 --> 01:20:40.119
Yeah, what time is it?
1430
01:20:40.640 --> 01:20:43.680
The way afternoon? You came in pretty late.
1431
01:20:46.319 --> 01:20:49.039
Toss me my bathroom, which you says, don't you know
1432
01:20:49.199 --> 01:20:51.039
what time you got in? Not exactly?
1433
01:20:51.560 --> 01:20:55.279
Oh, Tommy, I know it's tough not having a job
1434
01:20:55.399 --> 01:20:57.800
all these months, and I know you've tried.
1435
01:20:58.840 --> 01:21:00.439
This isn't doing any good, I know.
1436
01:21:00.479 --> 01:21:02.960
It, Sis, But last night was the first time in
1437
01:21:03.039 --> 01:21:06.560
a month, and anyway, it was different. I had a
1438
01:21:06.600 --> 01:21:09.680
few drinks, but it was different. Something happened.
1439
01:21:10.039 --> 01:21:11.359
What do you mean something happened?
1440
01:21:11.359 --> 01:21:13.600
Well, it wasn't just a drinks. They were doped or something.
1441
01:21:14.720 --> 01:21:16.520
Oh look, sis, it's not just an alibi. I don't
1442
01:21:16.520 --> 01:21:17.680
remember where I was or anything.
1443
01:21:17.760 --> 01:21:19.960
Only just now. I seem to be dreaming about it,
1444
01:21:20.239 --> 01:21:23.319
about last night. I could I could hear you banging
1445
01:21:23.359 --> 01:21:25.520
on the door all the time I was dreaming. And
1446
01:21:25.560 --> 01:21:27.399
then it seemed as though I wasn't dreaming at all,
1447
01:21:27.479 --> 01:21:31.680
that I was remembering a lot of things. It was
1448
01:21:31.720 --> 01:21:32.359
all mixed up.
1449
01:21:32.399 --> 01:21:34.399
There was a guy with a kind of a frog
1450
01:21:34.520 --> 01:21:37.479
voice that kept giving me drinks, and I was sort
1451
01:21:37.520 --> 01:21:41.560
of floating, And there was a place that music came
1452
01:21:41.600 --> 01:21:42.239
out of the walls.
1453
01:21:43.439 --> 01:21:47.000
There was something about blood on my shirt. Keeter were closet.
1454
01:21:47.680 --> 01:21:48.920
You're shaking like a leaf.
1455
01:21:49.520 --> 01:21:55.520
Yea, it was a pretty scary dream. If it was
1456
01:21:55.600 --> 01:21:56.960
a dream, what.
1457
01:21:57.119 --> 01:22:00.399
You need is some good hot coffee. Now, hurry dressed
1458
01:22:00.399 --> 01:22:03.000
and come on downstairs here. I'll get you out of
1459
01:22:03.000 --> 01:22:03.520
clean shirt.
1460
01:22:04.079 --> 01:22:05.880
I'd better wear the old one. I've only worn it once,
1461
01:22:06.319 --> 01:22:11.680
but it's all messy. Does look kind of nod? What
1462
01:22:12.159 --> 01:22:13.000
my shirt given me?
1463
01:22:13.439 --> 01:22:13.479
No?
1464
01:22:13.640 --> 01:22:14.279
What's the matter?
1465
01:22:14.439 --> 01:22:15.520
Buck? Mildred, that's blood.
1466
01:22:17.039 --> 01:22:18.680
Guess it is. I know it is, just like it
1467
01:22:18.800 --> 01:22:21.439
wasn't the dream, Tommy, don't be so silly. You must
1468
01:22:21.479 --> 01:22:22.840
have hurt yourself somewhere.
1469
01:22:22.720 --> 01:22:24.520
I didn't put There was no scratch on me.
1470
01:22:25.399 --> 01:22:29.359
Well then he got in a five maybe, oh else
1471
01:22:29.399 --> 01:22:30.079
could it have been?
1472
01:22:30.239 --> 01:22:31.439
Well, that's what I'm trying to think.
1473
01:22:31.680 --> 01:22:35.439
Well, stop thinking and hurry up and get dressed. My goodness,
1474
01:22:35.600 --> 01:22:37.840
look at the way you threw your clothes around last night.
1475
01:22:38.560 --> 01:22:43.439
Trousers on the floor here, dear, everything's falling out of
1476
01:22:43.479 --> 01:22:43.920
the pocket.
1477
01:22:44.640 --> 01:22:45.279
I'll pick it up.

Thanks. You didn't come home with much, did you, I
1480
01:22:49.560 --> 01:22:50.600
didn't have much to start with.
1481
01:22:50.920 --> 01:22:52.439
Well, i'll put it all up here on the bureau.
1482
01:22:52.840 --> 01:22:54.880
Twenty five cents and change in your keys.
1483
01:22:55.079 --> 01:22:56.199
Now, hurry, what'd you say?
1484
01:22:57.159 --> 01:22:57.479

1485
01:22:57.560 --> 01:22:57.840
Hurry?
1486
01:22:58.560 --> 01:22:59.960
No, no, no, Before that, what'd you say?
1487
01:23:00.039 --> 01:23:00.319
I said?
1488
01:23:00.319 --> 01:23:02.640
I put your change and your keys up in the bureau.
1489
01:23:03.960 --> 01:23:09.920
Keez, yes, Mildred, I only have one key.
1490
01:23:10.199 --> 01:23:11.760
Well, they're two there, now, I know.
1491
01:23:12.239 --> 01:23:13.800
Let me see him here.
1492
01:23:15.159 --> 01:23:16.720
One's the key to the front door. Yeah, but the
1493
01:23:16.760 --> 01:23:19.560
other one doesn't belonged to any door in this house.
1494
01:23:20.279 --> 01:23:23.279
It's the key to the closet last night. It wasn't
1495
01:23:23.279 --> 01:23:23.680
a dream.
1496
01:23:24.000 --> 01:23:25.399
Tell me, what are you talking.
1497
01:23:25.119 --> 01:23:31.279
About, Mildred? You better call Daniel right away, but he's
1498
01:23:31.319 --> 01:23:33.479
on Judy I know over here right away.
1499
01:23:33.720 --> 01:23:34.560
Tell me what is it.
1500
01:23:36.159 --> 01:23:39.479
Last night? I think I killed a man.
1501
01:23:54.000 --> 01:23:58.159
Let me look at your eyes. Listen, Denny, you were doped,
1502
01:23:58.199 --> 01:24:00.279
all right. Well, I didn't know what it was that
1503
01:24:00.399 --> 01:24:02.640
now how much do you remember? Look, Denny, I hated
1504
01:24:02.680 --> 01:24:04.640
to bring in on this night. I didn't know who
1505
01:24:04.680 --> 01:24:06.760
else to go to skip it. What's he used to
1506
01:24:06.800 --> 01:24:08.359
having a brother in law who's a cop if he
1507
01:24:08.399 --> 01:24:10.479
can't help you once in a while, how much do
1508
01:24:10.560 --> 01:24:11.039
you remember?
1509
01:24:11.159 --> 01:24:13.640
Well, just what I've told you, Just like it wasn't
1510
01:24:13.680 --> 01:24:15.920
a dream. Only it wasn't a dream. You See.
1511
01:24:16.880 --> 01:24:19.439
There was this guy, Joe, just some guy. I'd known
1512
01:24:19.479 --> 01:24:20.800
him from some place I don't know where.
1513
01:24:21.359 --> 01:24:21.479
See.
1514
01:24:21.600 --> 01:24:22.760
I met him on a street and he took me
1515
01:24:22.840 --> 01:24:24.840
to the party, and then the guy with the frog
1516
01:24:24.960 --> 01:24:28.359
voice began giving me drinks, and then everything got confused,
1517
01:24:29.159 --> 01:24:31.720
and I was in another place with the singing walls
1518
01:24:32.479 --> 01:24:35.800
and some harmonica playing or something. I don't even know
1519
01:24:35.840 --> 01:24:37.479
whether it was in the same apartment even, But that's
1520
01:24:37.479 --> 01:24:40.279
where the closet was. What about the guy you a
1521
01:24:40.439 --> 01:24:42.680
dead guy? Well, at first he wasn't there, and then
1522
01:24:42.720 --> 01:24:44.720
he was. He was sort of slumped over in a
1523
01:24:44.760 --> 01:24:47.159
big armchair, and then frog boys put him in a closet,
1524
01:24:47.239 --> 01:24:50.119
That's what I remember, and then he left, and then
1525
01:24:50.119 --> 01:24:51.600
I suddenly seemed to realize that the guy in the
1526
01:24:51.640 --> 01:24:53.279
closet was dead, and that's why I got out of there.
1527
01:24:53.640 --> 01:24:55.760
I don't know how. You don't have any idea where
1528
01:24:55.800 --> 01:24:57.399
it was. No, No, I don't even know where the
1529
01:24:57.479 --> 01:24:59.760
party was. You'd never seen any of these people before
1530
01:25:00.079 --> 01:25:02.039
except this guy, Joe, who took me to the party.
1531
01:25:02.520 --> 01:25:03.760
And that's all I know about him.
1532
01:25:03.760 --> 01:25:05.279
Did He just a guy named Joe that I knew
1533
01:25:05.359 --> 01:25:07.760
from by sight, from someplace I don't know where, or
1534
01:25:07.840 --> 01:25:08.880
his last name or anything.
1535
01:25:09.720 --> 01:25:12.880
Not much to go on. Is a kid, No, not much.
1536
01:25:13.439 --> 01:25:17.119
A guy named Joe singing walls in a closet. Not
1537
01:25:17.239 --> 01:25:19.640
a guy with a froggy voice. But I'd recognize him
1538
01:25:19.880 --> 01:25:21.319
or his voice if I ever saw him again.
1539
01:25:22.479 --> 01:25:25.600
Tommy, you're in a jam. Well it looks right now.
1540
01:25:25.680 --> 01:25:27.720
There's a dead man in a closet somewhere in this town,
1541
01:25:28.159 --> 01:25:30.279
and you killed him. Oh, but maybe it didn't.
1542
01:25:30.840 --> 01:25:32.960
If we find him before somebody else does, maybe we
1543
01:25:33.000 --> 01:25:36.359
can figure out what did happen the way it stands now,
1544
01:25:36.760 --> 01:25:39.600
You're right, I know we haven't got much time either.
1545
01:25:40.279 --> 01:25:42.399
Places an apartment, they probably would have found a body
1546
01:25:42.439 --> 01:25:45.319
already and not know about it. It's a hotel. They
1547
01:25:45.439 --> 01:25:47.800
checked the guests out by six o'clock. That gives us
1548
01:25:47.800 --> 01:25:52.680
about four hours. Four hours for the murderer to find
1549
01:25:52.720 --> 01:25:56.319
the guy he murdered. It's kind of crazy, isn't it. Tommy.
1550
01:25:57.199 --> 01:25:59.560
You know how I feel about you know.
1551
01:25:59.600 --> 01:26:02.039
I don't exactly hate you either. You know I'll do
1552
01:26:02.119 --> 01:26:05.079
everything in the world I possibly can de clear you. Sure, Danny,
1553
01:26:05.119 --> 01:26:07.039
I know I'm a cop.
1554
01:26:07.159 --> 01:26:07.439
Tommy.
1555
01:26:08.239 --> 01:26:10.439
If you did it, you know I'm going to turn
1556
01:26:10.479 --> 01:26:14.119
you in. Don't you sure I know that too? Okay, kid,
1557
01:26:15.079 --> 01:26:17.520
let's start from the beginning. What about this Joe? I
1558
01:26:18.720 --> 01:26:19.920
don't know anything about him.
1559
01:26:19.920 --> 01:26:22.119
You know his name, you know his face? Thank Tommy.
1560
01:26:22.239 --> 01:26:27.319
Think I'm trying to I could only remember. If I
1561
01:26:27.359 --> 01:26:28.880
could only remember.
1562
01:26:33.880 --> 01:26:36.880
Tell a guy named Joe brought your hat he come
1563
01:26:36.960 --> 01:26:38.079
up with from Joe's place?
1564
01:26:39.079 --> 01:26:40.920
What's it? Oh?
1565
01:26:41.520 --> 01:26:46.920
Yet, don't even know where Joe lives at no, I
1566
01:26:47.119 --> 01:26:51.000
don't know either. I never seen Joe before in my life.
1567
01:26:52.199 --> 01:27:10.119
Oh you still don't get it, Tommy, No, no, I don't.
1568
01:27:10.319 --> 01:27:12.840
You told me where Joe is? I have sure you
1569
01:27:12.960 --> 01:27:16.680
see the sign over that saloon. Yeah, Joe's place. But
1570
01:27:16.800 --> 01:27:19.119
how do you know that, Tommy? You were playing with
1571
01:27:19.239 --> 01:27:22.039
bad boys last night, and this is where bad boys
1572
01:27:22.079 --> 01:27:25.159
hang out, among other places. He's got a name. It's
1573
01:27:25.199 --> 01:27:28.199
run by a guy named Joe. He minds his own
1574
01:27:28.239 --> 01:27:30.640
business as far as we know, but his customers don't.
1575
01:27:30.800 --> 01:27:33.039
So it all clicked when I remembered you said the
1576
01:27:33.119 --> 01:27:35.399
guy the frog voice asked you if you came up
1577
01:27:35.439 --> 01:27:38.720
there from Joe's place. He didn't mean where Joe lived
1578
01:27:38.800 --> 01:27:41.520
or anything. He meant this place. He thought maybe you
1579
01:27:41.640 --> 01:27:42.399
were one of the boys.
1580
01:27:42.479 --> 01:27:44.119
Yeah, but how did I ever meet this Joe? I've
1581
01:27:44.159 --> 01:27:45.159
never been here in my life.
1582
01:27:45.399 --> 01:27:48.199
Runs another joint, a respectable saloon. It's a sort of
1583
01:27:48.279 --> 01:27:50.960
cover about three blocks from our house, the town tavern.
1584
01:27:51.520 --> 01:27:55.439
Hey, that's right. Remember, Joe may or may not be
1585
01:27:55.560 --> 01:27:57.800
in on this. Frog Boyce made a big play to
1586
01:27:57.840 --> 01:27:59.800
you that he didn't know Joe never seen him before
1587
01:27:59.800 --> 01:28:00.359
in his life.
1588
01:28:01.159 --> 01:28:03.800
Those customers always cover them. It's better for them that way.
1589
01:28:04.840 --> 01:28:06.840
My hunch is right, Joe is going to be plenty
1590
01:28:06.880 --> 01:28:09.800
surprised when he sees you walking there, me walking there,
1591
01:28:10.239 --> 01:28:12.399
don't worry, Just walk in and sit down at the bar.
1592
01:28:13.119 --> 01:28:14.840
You're not out. In a couple of minutes, I'll I
1593
01:28:15.000 --> 01:28:16.880
know you recognize the guy. We're on the right track.
1594
01:28:17.319 --> 01:28:18.680
I'll come in as though I didn't see him, go
1595
01:28:18.720 --> 01:28:24.199
into the phone booth, and then what and we'll see okay, kid, okay, Oh,
1596
01:28:24.319 --> 01:28:26.800
one thing, yeah, the office? You a drink on the house?
1597
01:28:26.840 --> 01:28:38.199
Take it? Sure? Oh? Here goes there? Well, we got you.
1598
01:28:38.399 --> 01:28:45.479
It doesn't matter suit yourself. Well, well what do you know?
1599
01:28:46.079 --> 01:28:49.479
Tell me, hi, Joe? Hey, what are you doing down
1600
01:28:49.520 --> 01:28:50.439
in this part of town?
1601
01:28:50.600 --> 01:28:50.760
Kid?
1602
01:28:51.439 --> 01:28:51.560
Oh?
1603
01:28:51.600 --> 01:28:54.800
I had to come down and see a guy. I
1604
01:28:54.840 --> 01:28:57.920
didn't know you had this place. Oh just a little sideline, swell,
1605
01:28:57.960 --> 01:28:58.760
I place started?
1606
01:28:58.920 --> 01:28:59.920
You know? Sure?
1607
01:29:00.119 --> 01:29:00.279
I know?
1608
01:29:00.439 --> 01:29:01.000
One beer?
1609
01:29:02.199 --> 01:29:04.439
Hey, No, no, none of that. You gotta have one
1610
01:29:04.479 --> 01:29:07.720

1615
01:29:27.279 --> 01:29:29.760
You know that's a funny thing. I don't even remember.
1616
01:29:31.039 --> 01:29:31.680
I get it.
1617
01:29:32.079 --> 01:29:35.359
Well, the guy has to cut loose once in a while. Hen, Yeah,

01:30:01.239 --> 01:30:03.319

01:30:03.359 --> 01:30:04.239

1628
01:30:04.359 --> 01:30:04.600
Have you?
1629
01:30:04.880 --> 01:30:05.159
Say?
1630
01:30:05.279 --> 01:30:07.800
Who do you think you're kidding? Bud, I'm from headquarters.
1631
01:30:08.119 --> 01:30:10.680
There's my badge. Oh oh, I'll wait a minute. I
1632
01:30:10.720 --> 01:30:12.399
didn't know that you. I suppose you don't know what
1633
01:30:12.439 --> 01:30:14.000
I'd find in this dring if I took it down
1634
01:30:14.039 --> 01:30:15.000
to be analyzed either.
1635
01:30:15.079 --> 01:30:17.319
And now, look, I don't want eat trouble I never
1636
01:30:17.399 --> 01:30:20.000
had of me. They can tell you downard headquarters, of course,
1637
01:30:20.079 --> 01:30:21.119
it's a out of a dope.
1638
01:30:21.239 --> 01:30:22.880
You can't buy your way out of this one. Jim.
1639
01:30:23.199 --> 01:30:25.319
I want talk, and I want it quick. What kind
1640
01:30:25.399 --> 01:30:27.239
of talk? Where'd you take Tommy? Last night?
1641
01:30:27.640 --> 01:30:30.520
It was just a little party, a private party, and
1642
01:30:30.600 --> 01:30:32.960
they slipped things in people's drinks there too. Now I
1643
01:30:33.000 --> 01:30:35.800
don't know anything about that now, honestly, I hardly know
1644
01:30:35.880 --> 01:30:38.199
the people. Who's the guy with a frog voice? Boys,
1645
01:30:38.840 --> 01:30:40.439
I don't know any guy with a frog Quesse? And
1646
01:30:40.439 --> 01:30:41.960
now look, I told you I want eat trouble. I
1647
01:30:42.000 --> 01:30:44.159
can tell you that down at headquarters. Listen, there's a
1648
01:30:44.239 --> 01:30:46.680
narcotics rapping this for somebody, and it could be you.
1649
01:30:46.920 --> 01:30:51.840
Where was the party Courtney Square West, number seventy five,
1650
01:30:52.000 --> 01:30:53.439
some people named Sorell.
1651
01:30:53.640 --> 01:30:56.960
Come on, Tommy, you're coming to Joe just in case.
1652
01:31:11.239 --> 01:31:14.920
Sorell. Hey, Jay, this looks like the place, Tommy, it
1653
01:31:15.039 --> 01:31:18.680
looks like it could be. Everything has been so confused
1654
01:31:18.680 --> 01:31:19.319
since last night.
1655
01:31:19.359 --> 01:31:23.840
I well, this is it. It better be missus Sorell.
1656
01:31:24.359 --> 01:31:28.319
I'm from the police headquarters. If we come and look around, No,
1657
01:31:28.720 --> 01:31:31.640
come on, Tommy, you too, Joe, By the way, you
1658
01:31:31.840 --> 01:31:32.600
too know each other.
1659
01:31:34.439 --> 01:31:35.880
I think he's been here on a couple of parties.
1660
01:31:35.920 --> 01:31:37.399
We kind of get crazy parties.
1661
01:31:37.760 --> 01:31:39.279
All kinds of people wander in and out.
1662
01:31:40.279 --> 01:31:41.000
What the trouble is?
1663
01:31:41.239 --> 01:31:44.039
It might be, you know, anyone with a froggy voice.
1664
01:31:44.239 --> 01:31:45.760
No, not that I can remember.
1665
01:31:46.840 --> 01:31:50.279
Okay, let's look at the apartment. Well, this is the hall,
1666
01:31:50.399 --> 01:31:52.199
of course, and here's the living room.
1667
01:31:52.319 --> 01:31:54.720
Joe, you stay here in the hall, and you better
1668
01:31:54.840 --> 01:31:58.600
be here when I get back, I'll be here. So
1669
01:31:58.840 --> 01:31:59.760
this is the living room.
1670
01:32:00.560 --> 01:32:01.399
This is the bedroom.
1671
01:32:01.479 --> 01:32:05.199
Looks kind of messy, now see anything. No, Oh, here's
1672
01:32:05.239 --> 01:32:05.800
the kitchen net.
1673
01:32:06.039 --> 01:32:10.359
I see that's about all the Uh what's that room there? Oh,
1674
01:32:10.520 --> 01:32:13.359
that's just a sort of storeroom. Oh well, I think
1675
01:32:13.399 --> 01:32:15.520
we better look at it though. Come on, all right.
1676
01:32:17.840 --> 01:32:19.520
There see there's nothing much in it.
1677
01:32:19.560 --> 01:32:20.880
An old armchair in the bed.
1678
01:32:21.640 --> 01:32:22.560
Use it as a guest.
1679
01:32:22.399 --> 01:32:24.800
Room sometimes, can eat that closet.
1680
01:32:24.560 --> 01:32:25.600
Oh, there's nothing in there.
1681
01:32:25.760 --> 01:32:26.800
There's a lot of old odds.
1682
01:32:26.840 --> 01:32:31.960
And then well, all right, unlock it. I'm not sure
1683
01:32:31.960 --> 01:32:34.079
where the key is, and lady, you better find it.
1684
01:32:34.840 --> 01:32:39.479
I'll try be right back, so I said, Tommy.
1685
01:32:39.680 --> 01:32:41.960
Oh, it was a closet like that, and the window
1686
01:32:42.079 --> 01:32:44.079
just over there where that one is in the armchair
1687
01:32:44.119 --> 01:32:45.319
in the bed don't you remember?
1688
01:32:45.680 --> 01:32:47.800
I can't, Denny, let me have that key.
1689
01:32:48.600 --> 01:32:53.159
Wait a minute, she comes right, sort of stick sometimes
1690
01:32:53.239 --> 01:32:58.720
I'll help you. Come see just a lot of old junk.
1691
01:32:58.920 --> 01:33:04.960
Uh huh, come on, Denny, sure, sure, I'm sure. Oh,
1692
01:33:05.039 --> 01:33:10.720
I guess that's all, mister Sorel. Thanks for showing us around. Hello,
1693
01:33:10.920 --> 01:33:13.319
Joe still here? Huh? You don't mind if I stay
1694
01:33:13.359 --> 01:33:16.319
here in vision a while? Do you no? I guess not? Well,
1695
01:33:16.560 --> 01:33:24.600
goodbye bye, thanks again, Well, goodbye and good luck. I'm sorry, Denny,
1696
01:33:25.279 --> 01:33:29.239

1697
01:33:29.319 --> 01:33:33.920
don't know, Tommy, I don't know. Thank Tommy. Think he's
1698
01:33:33.960 --> 01:33:36.720
found Joe. Now what about those singing walls?
1699
01:33:44.439 --> 01:33:48.199
Go ragging right out of the wall. We got hot
1700
01:33:48.279 --> 01:33:50.359
and cold running water here and.
1701
01:33:50.600 --> 01:34:00.640
Sing, Denny, Yeah, listen, what that's it? Singing waltz? And
1702
01:34:00.880 --> 01:34:02.760
got heard last night? You're sure? I'm sure? I remember
1703
01:34:02.800 --> 01:34:04.600
the piece of harmonic on everything. It's coming from right
1704
01:34:04.640 --> 01:34:06.600
around here, someplace. Henny is coming from there, apartment, the
1705
01:34:06.640 --> 01:34:09.840
one we just left, Currell. Come on, this must be
1706
01:34:09.920 --> 01:34:11.199
the place, Tommy. The closet.
1707
01:34:11.279 --> 01:34:13.680
Now, the music, it must have been putting a fast
1708
01:34:13.720 --> 01:34:17.119
one on us. Well, all right, quit starring. Come on, Tommy,
1709
01:34:17.840 --> 01:34:19.640
you heard me. You two brush us off pretty slick,
1710
01:34:19.680 --> 01:34:19.960
didn't you.
1711
01:34:20.079 --> 01:34:20.560
Hey, not listen.
1712
01:34:20.600 --> 01:34:22.079
I told you I don't know anything of fot fish.
1713
01:34:22.159 --> 01:34:25.039
But if you where's the music coming from radio?
1714
01:34:25.239 --> 01:34:26.920
As I turned it on in the kitchen just now
1715
01:34:26.960 --> 01:34:29.279
and I started to fix dinner. It's a little part
1716
01:34:29.319 --> 01:34:30.920
of it here.
1717
01:34:30.960 --> 01:34:37.199
See okay? Yeah? What did you mean by it? Oh? Tommy,
1718
01:34:37.239 --> 01:34:38.000
here we go again.
1719
01:34:38.159 --> 01:34:38.920
I don't care.
1720
01:34:39.000 --> 01:34:40.960
That was the music I heard, And that's the same
1721
01:34:41.039 --> 01:34:42.760
number and it sounds like the same bend. Hey, wait
1722
01:34:42.800 --> 01:34:45.960
a minute, now, what where's your phone on the desk? Tommy?
1723
01:34:46.199 --> 01:34:50.880
Don't see what station that's coming over? All right? W BTA,
1724
01:34:51.359 --> 01:34:52.199
it's the local station.
1725
01:34:52.479 --> 01:34:59.039
Thanks, hello, operator, get me station. Wbt A a radio station.
1726
01:35:00.199 --> 01:35:01.439
I don't know what the number is.
1727
01:35:01.600 --> 01:35:06.279
Just get it. This is a police call. Thanks. Maybe wrong, Tommy,
1728
01:35:06.319 --> 01:35:10.520
but I got a hunch. Hello wt A. What's that
1729
01:35:10.600 --> 01:35:11.279
band you've got on?
1730
01:35:11.399 --> 01:35:11.560
Now?
1731
01:35:13.119 --> 01:35:15.199
I don't care if it's an electrical transcription or a
1732
01:35:15.279 --> 01:35:19.439
Mickey Mouse cartoon. What's the guy's name? What turn off
1733
01:35:19.479 --> 01:35:25.119
that radio? Now? What was that guy's name? Yeah? Mm hmmm.
1734
01:35:26.279 --> 01:35:27.800
Where can we get ahold of this guy? Where does
1735
01:35:27.840 --> 01:35:28.359
he hang? Out.
1736
01:35:29.680 --> 01:35:33.479
I see five nights a week, huh, I include the night.
1737
01:35:34.479 --> 01:35:38.359
Thanks a small time band leader Tom I Mike, I
1738
01:35:38.479 --> 01:35:40.399
have on his harmon naers, he calls himself and he.
1739
01:35:40.399 --> 01:35:42.640
Plays at a place called a silver Slippert in the concourse.
1740
01:35:42.720 --> 01:35:47.279
Come on me, you better get on that phone joke.
1741
01:35:47.640 --> 01:35:49.680
You're dumb. You would have a tone on that radio.
1742
01:36:02.560 --> 01:36:05.239
Here's a Silver Slipper right over there. Okay, let's out
1743
01:36:05.279 --> 01:36:18.039
here right hey, you are, Thank you sir. The familiar
1744
01:36:18.079 --> 01:36:21.920
to you around here? Tell me no, I'm afraid it's
1745
01:36:21.920 --> 01:36:24.119
a bum steered Denny. Look, kid, here's the way I
1746
01:36:24.199 --> 01:36:25.239
figured this music deal.
1747
01:36:25.479 --> 01:36:27.159
You may have heard a recording of this band the
1748
01:36:27.199 --> 01:36:29.079
way you did it a little while ago, but there's
1749
01:36:29.119 --> 01:36:31.239
a good chance you actually heard the guy himself.
1750
01:36:32.279 --> 01:36:34.159
You know what time it was when you heard it, Well,
1751
01:36:34.600 --> 01:36:36.640
it was just night, that's all I know. All right.
1752
01:36:37.079 --> 01:36:39.960
They don't make recordings off and of unknown bands. This
1753
01:36:40.119 --> 01:36:42.720
Silver Slipper isn't on the air. So maybe you're out
1754
01:36:42.760 --> 01:36:46.439
here someplace and heard the band itself. Maybe you know
1755
01:36:46.560 --> 01:36:48.479
it's kind of a long shot, kid, but right now
1756
01:36:48.560 --> 01:36:51.760
it's the best we got. Let's case the joint. Okay,
1757
01:36:53.920 --> 01:36:55.800
it looked like they're running rooms with closets and a
1758
01:36:55.840 --> 01:36:59.600
silver slipper. Say what about that clummy looking hotel next
1759
01:36:59.640 --> 01:37:00.439
to it? Yeah?
1760
01:37:00.479 --> 01:37:03.199
I was just thinking if you were in a room,
1761
01:37:03.199 --> 01:37:05.000
in the closet and all that, and you really did
1762
01:37:05.079 --> 01:37:07.319
hear this man, that hotel is the only place you
1763
01:37:07.359 --> 01:37:10.359
could have been. Wish I could remember something in shape
1764
01:37:10.359 --> 01:37:12.239
you were in. You'll probably signed your own name too.
1765
01:37:12.560 --> 01:37:15.000
Come on, by the way, what time you got?
1766
01:37:15.159 --> 01:37:15.279
Uh?
1767
01:37:15.840 --> 01:37:20.680
Ten of six tenders? Six Deadline's pretty close? Kidding? Yeah,
1768
01:37:21.439 --> 01:37:27.399
this better be right? What don't I could only remember? Oh,
1769
01:37:27.439 --> 01:37:29.880
there's a clerk. We'll see. Say you got a guy
1770
01:37:29.960 --> 01:37:30.800
named Tom Cochran.
1771
01:37:30.840 --> 01:37:32.279
Here Cochran and.
1772
01:37:32.840 --> 01:37:35.560
That's all right? Where friends are his? Let's see when
1773
01:37:35.600 --> 01:37:36.760
do you register last night?
1774
01:37:37.800 --> 01:37:38.039
Sure?
1775
01:37:38.079 --> 01:37:40.720
Here it is Tom Cochran and Pen Doyle room two
1776
01:37:40.800 --> 01:37:42.479
o nine. I don't think they're in though.
1777
01:37:42.680 --> 01:37:44.920
No, No, I've been ringing to see if they were
1778
01:37:44.920 --> 01:37:45.920
going to check out by six.
1779
01:37:46.359 --> 01:37:48.399
I was just gonna send somebody up. They were at
1780
01:37:48.439 --> 01:37:51.359
the big party last night. Probably haven't pulled themselves together yet,
1781
01:37:51.439 --> 01:37:52.920
as a matter of fact, that's why we came to
1782
01:37:52.960 --> 01:37:55.199
see them. Could I ring again? No, we'll sort of
1783
01:37:55.239 --> 01:37:57.600
surprise okay, right up those stairs, but they got to
1784
01:37:57.640 --> 01:37:58.319
be up by six.
1785
01:37:58.520 --> 01:37:59.279
Pay for that to night.
1786
01:37:59.600 --> 01:38:04.199
We'll take care of that. Let's go, tom Then he
1787
01:38:05.119 --> 01:38:08.560
did you see that handwriting on the register? Yeah? It
1788
01:38:08.720 --> 01:38:11.159
was mine? All right? This is it, Tommy, one way
1789
01:38:11.239 --> 01:38:15.239
or another? Yeah, here's two or nine. Don't put your
1790
01:38:15.239 --> 01:38:20.039
hand on the door knob fingerprints, use your handkerchief, suck.
1791
01:38:20.479 --> 01:38:26.199
I got some keys. It's an easy lock. There we go, kid,
1792
01:38:29.640 --> 01:38:33.279
Then me, this is it? Close that door. Yeah, there's
1793
01:38:33.279 --> 01:38:36.279
a closet. Give me the key. Yeah, you better hold
1794
01:38:36.319 --> 01:38:37.840
my gun on that door just in case. All right,
1795
01:38:39.319 --> 01:38:44.119
tell me what gout? He was just falling. He's dead,
1796
01:38:44.760 --> 01:38:51.640
Oh you remember now? Yeah, I can't put it together.
1797
01:38:52.239 --> 01:38:58.159
Let's have a look. Oh stabbed. Here's his driver's license,
1798
01:38:58.640 --> 01:39:01.720
Benjamin door given it?
1799
01:39:03.000 --> 01:39:06.840
Hello, Oh yeah, we found them all right. Oh they're
1800
01:39:06.880 --> 01:39:09.279
going to keep the room for another night. Ah no, No,
1801
01:39:09.399 --> 01:39:10.279
there's not a thing we want.
1802
01:39:11.720 --> 01:39:14.279
We're in for it now, kidd. Then they looked on
1803
01:39:14.359 --> 01:39:17.600
the floor over there last night, covered with blood. That's
1804
01:39:17.640 --> 01:39:20.520

01:39:23.439 --> 01:39:25.439

1808
01:39:27.760 --> 01:39:31.119

1809
01:39:31.159 --> 01:39:33.439

01:39:39.560 --> 01:39:44.199
Kid? Yeah? I guess they are? And you still don't remember, honest, Denny,
1814
01:39:44.239 --> 01:39:46.760
I don't. Can you think of any other explanation? O,
1815
01:39:47.359 --> 01:39:50.800
there's the guy with the frog voice, But I must
1816
01:39:50.840 --> 01:39:54.119
have just dreamed them up. I don't know, Oh kid,
1817
01:39:54.880 --> 01:39:57.239
I guess this is it? You know?
1818
01:39:57.319 --> 01:39:59.800
All you could then he don't feel bad? The complete
1819
01:39:59.840 --> 01:40:02.039
in sanity or something. Maybe we can prove you with dopes.
1820
01:40:02.119 --> 01:40:06.640
Maybe you better call headquarters. Then let's get it over all, right?
1821
01:40:07.319 --> 01:40:09.279
So where are you going find of my phone from here?
1822
01:40:09.319 --> 01:40:11.840

1824
01:40:13.600 --> 01:40:18.000
I'll no, No, I won't. I just have him sent

01:40:33.039 --> 01:40:42.680
Oh m, that's the idea. Take a little snooze. I

Have a little trouble in here.
1833
01:40:53.880 --> 01:40:58.199
Blood, sure, blood all over your shit.
1834

Oh, he's all right. Put him in the closet.
1835
01:41:02.399 --> 01:41:03.239
Lock that door.

Hey, what are you gonna do with him? Froggy?

01:41:28.039 --> 01:41:29.560
friend misses him and status looking.
1844
01:41:29.720 --> 01:41:31.479
I listen, I don't want to be in anything like this.
1845
01:41:31.640 --> 01:41:33.800
Shut out to You're in it up to your neck.

01:41:53.359 --> 01:41:55.760
Yeah, listen, Froggy, Just don't look so good. There was
1850
01:41:55.840 --> 01:41:57.680
people who knew you were getting ready to give it
1851
01:41:57.760 --> 01:41:59.920
to Doyling. Sure, sure, that's why I framed it.
1852

01:42:00.880 --> 01:42:01.880
Oh, let's treble.
1854
01:42:01.960 --> 01:42:04.199
I went to doped him and brought Doyle in there
1855
01:42:04.239 --> 01:42:06.560
when he was out, planted the key on him, bloodied
1856
01:42:06.600 --> 01:42:08.840
him up, put the knife in his hand. I still
1857
01:42:08.920 --> 01:42:11.279
don't see how he how he ever, came to in time.
1858
01:42:11.479 --> 01:42:16.439
Yeah, but he did, so what reframe him again? Music?

Better close the window, joke, No, no, wait a minute, Yeah,
1866
01:42:38.640 --> 01:42:40.960
I do like music, your mind.
1867
01:42:41.000 --> 01:42:43.199
If a guy in the spot like I am, here's
1868
01:42:43.199 --> 01:42:45.239
a little music, what about a joy?
1869
01:42:45.479 --> 01:42:48.720
Sure, leave it up and let's have music while we work.
1870
01:42:49.359 --> 01:42:51.680
He'll cover up the noise if he makes any fuss.
1871
01:42:52.039 --> 01:42:55.159
So what's a new angle? Knock him out? Jump him
1872
01:42:55.159 --> 01:42:58.800
in the park? Did by his own hand? Mean more?

What a hat Jimmy's mind? Yeah, put a card around him.
1877
01:43:10.800 --> 01:43:13.640
He's drunk, see, and we're taking care of him. Okay,
1878
01:43:15.399 --> 01:43:18.279
round the back, nobody else see us going out that way?
1879
01:43:19.279 --> 01:43:19.600
All right?

01:43:19.600 --> 01:43:23.840
All right, you're ready? Just take a yeah, okay, all right,

01:43:31.479 --> 01:43:34.039
go lock the door after we go on.
1883
01:43:34.319 --> 01:43:39.359
Okay, down the hold of the backstairs.
1884
01:43:40.119 --> 01:43:41.159
Hey, what all right?
1885
01:43:42.680 --> 01:43:43.520

I got go find out, got that guy out of
1887
01:43:47.079 --> 01:43:48.680
the guy's mouth and tie him my cure.
1888
01:43:50.079 --> 01:43:54.840
Then I heard the music. I hope you would. I
1889
01:43:54.880 --> 01:44:00.279
asked him to leave the window. I heard the conversation too. Enough, okay, boys,
1890
01:44:00.319 --> 01:44:01.079
take him down.
1891
01:44:00.960 --> 01:44:01.239
All right?
1892
01:44:01.520 --> 01:44:10.239
Come on, come on, say who are those guys?
1893
01:44:11.079 --> 01:44:12.880
Is a mobster? Doya was one of his boys, A
1894
01:44:12.960 --> 01:44:17.119
double across him. I feel okay, I guess that was
1895
01:44:17.199 --> 01:44:20.880
kind of close. Yeah, all the way around. Look kid,
1896
01:44:20.960 --> 01:44:25.399
I skip it. Anny, I'm sorry, Tommy, honest, I thought
1897
01:44:25.439 --> 01:44:28.159
you did it. Then he until just now, so did
1898
01:44:28.239 --> 01:44:52.239
I and so closes The Singing Wall starring Preston Foster

1900
01:45:00.079 --> 01:45:00.920
man in Black.
1901
01:45:00.720 --> 01:45:03.640
Who conveys to you Columbia's invitation to spend this half
1902
01:45:03.720 --> 01:45:06.000
hour in suspense with us again next week at this

01:45:06.119 --> 01:45:10.079

and Robert L. Richards, the radio author, collaborated on tonight's suspense.
1908
01:45:26.279 --> 01:45:28.720
This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.
1909
01:45:44.439 --> 01:45:53.079
My dear, I know your eyes are getting heavy. The
1910
01:45:53.239 --> 01:45:59.159
night is growing darker, deeper, and of course it is
1911
01:45:59.840 --> 01:46:08.720
the darkest before the light brings back its dominion. But
1912
01:46:08.960 --> 01:46:15.880
how about just one more good fright to end this
1913
01:46:17.199 --> 01:46:27.239
good night? A night like this belongs to the Avengers.
1914
01:46:29.720 --> 01:46:50.960
Have you heard the strange tales of the Whistler. I'm
1915
01:46:51.319 --> 01:46:58.960
the Whistler. No, it wasn't a dream. It was too real.
1916
01:46:59.359 --> 01:47:01.520
This is what I've I'm afraid of. I know you
1917
01:47:01.600 --> 01:47:04.000
don't believe you. You think I'm insane, both of you.
1918
01:47:08.880 --> 01:47:12.039
Friday Night and CBS presents the Whistler.
1919
01:47:19.560 --> 01:47:23.359
I the Whistler, know many things, for I walk by night.
1920
01:47:24.279 --> 01:47:25.000
I know many.
1921
01:47:24.960 --> 01:47:28.560
Strange tales, many secrets hidden in the hearts of men
1922
01:47:28.640 --> 01:47:31.800
and women who have stepped into the shadows. And so
1923
01:47:31.960 --> 01:47:35.239
I tell you tonight the weird story of the Avengers.
1924
01:47:39.520 --> 01:47:42.680
In the Great Southwest, a range of high mountains extends
1925
01:47:42.720 --> 01:47:45.880
as far as the eye can see. This is mining country,
1926
01:47:46.079 --> 01:47:49.680
silver and gold. Halfway down the mountain is a tiny village,
1927
01:47:49.800 --> 01:47:52.680
the mining town of Rainbow, a raucous sort of place
1928
01:47:52.840 --> 01:47:55.920
composed of a number of stores, many saloons in the
1929
01:47:56.000 --> 01:47:59.359
Federal Land Office where the fortune hunters file their claims.
1930
01:48:00.279 --> 01:48:03.920
Fifteen years ago, Rainbow was a rip roaring village. And
1931
01:48:04.039 --> 01:48:06.720
in a back room of the Crystal Palace bar, a
1932
01:48:06.840 --> 01:48:09.399
young man and a young woman hold an earnest conversation.
1933
01:48:09.920 --> 01:48:11.479
Tell me, miss Martin, how long have you been in
1934
01:48:11.520 --> 01:48:11.880
this town?
1935
01:48:12.079 --> 01:48:12.199
Oh?
1936
01:48:12.239 --> 01:48:13.079
About two years.
1937
01:48:13.359 --> 01:48:15.239
Came here from Kansas City. And you know my brother
1938
01:48:15.640 --> 01:48:18.319
John Maddox, I certainly do. How well do you know him?
1939
01:48:18.359 --> 01:48:18.520
Huh?
1940
01:48:18.800 --> 01:48:21.359
Well enough. He came out here a year ago and
1941
01:48:21.439 --> 01:48:23.680
he's been hiding out up on the mountain side ever since.
1942
01:48:24.199 --> 01:48:25.039
Got a cabin up.
1943
01:48:25.000 --> 01:48:27.760
There prospecting, of course, who isn't How well do you
1944
01:48:27.920 --> 01:48:28.199
know him?
1945
01:48:28.439 --> 01:48:30.720
Oh, he used to come into town quite often. I
1946
01:48:30.800 --> 01:48:31.960
got acquainted with him in here.
1947
01:48:32.880 --> 01:48:33.159
First.
1948
01:48:33.199 --> 01:48:34.479
I fell for him in a big way.
1949
01:48:35.079 --> 01:48:35.960
He seemed to resent it.
1950
01:48:36.439 --> 01:48:37.760
Finally gave me the cold shoulder.
1951
01:48:37.840 --> 01:48:39.359
Well, he has a wife and five year old daughter
1952
01:48:39.439 --> 01:48:39.840
back east.
1953
01:48:40.239 --> 01:48:43.119
That's what he said, but I didn't believe him. He's
1954
01:48:43.159 --> 01:48:44.680
a bit nutty, isn't he natty?
1955
01:48:44.840 --> 01:48:47.479
Now, I wouldn't say nutty. He's a smart boy. He's
1956
01:48:47.479 --> 01:48:49.880
an engineer, graduated at the State School.
1957
01:48:49.600 --> 01:48:50.840
Of Mines, he is.
1958
01:48:51.840 --> 01:48:53.560
But what's he doing here living like a hermit?
1959
01:48:53.720 --> 01:48:56.720
I wonder he gave you the cold shoulder? Eh, he
1960
01:48:56.840 --> 01:48:57.960
certainly did. Well.
1961
01:48:58.039 --> 01:49:00.800
John is an educated mineralogist. He came out here to
1962
01:49:00.840 --> 01:49:03.319
make a strike, and if anyone does, he should be
1963
01:49:03.399 --> 01:49:05.399
that one. Maybe he's located of.
1964
01:49:05.439 --> 01:49:09.000
Anabre What do you have on your mind, mister maddis Well.
1965
01:49:08.920 --> 01:49:11.079
I thought maybe you'd seen him visiting the stairs office
1966
01:49:11.079 --> 01:49:13.840
a little more often than usual. And what if I
1967
01:49:14.039 --> 01:49:17.720
have or the land office. Go on, mister maddick Well,
1968
01:49:17.760 --> 01:49:19.680
I wouldn't be interested in knowing the activities of an
1969
01:49:19.760 --> 01:49:23.720
ordinary prospectors, a graduate minning engineer like John.
1970
01:49:24.880 --> 01:49:26.479
He may have a lead on something good.
1971
01:49:26.760 --> 01:49:30.520
Yes, And I thought that, as I heard, you might
1972
01:49:30.600 --> 01:49:32.399
be more or less familiar with his activities.
1973
01:49:32.680 --> 01:49:36.920
That's right, I am, And maybe you'd like to come
1974
01:49:36.960 --> 01:49:37.319
in with me.
1975
01:49:37.960 --> 01:49:38.600
What do you mean?
1976
01:49:38.880 --> 01:49:41.079
You know where he's been working, you know the area
1977
01:49:41.159 --> 01:49:43.680
he's most interested in. So if you let me know.
1978
01:49:43.760 --> 01:49:46.600
I'll beat him to it. Well, split split, that's right?
1979
01:49:47.399 --> 01:49:47.880
How about it?
1980
01:49:48.199 --> 01:49:49.119
Sure? Why not?
1981
01:49:50.479 --> 01:49:50.640
You know?
1982
01:49:50.720 --> 01:49:52.520
I think I'm going to like you, mister Maddix.
1983
01:49:52.720 --> 01:49:56.439
Frank is the name, all right, Frank? This is it.
1984
01:49:57.279 --> 01:49:59.680
He has found a spot. It didn't mean much to
1985
01:49:59.720 --> 01:50:02.000
mean to now, but he's been working on the same
1986
01:50:02.039 --> 01:50:04.399
location for a week or more. I'm sure he's hit
1987
01:50:04.520 --> 01:50:05.239
something good.
1988
01:50:05.359 --> 01:50:07.520
That's all I wanted to know. I'll just drop in
1989
01:50:07.640 --> 01:50:12.800
and surprise him. See you later, partner.
1990
01:50:20.000 --> 01:50:22.479
And so that night, John Maddox is working on some
1991
01:50:22.680 --> 01:50:25.840
maps and papers. The meager lamp throws a dim light
1992
01:50:25.880 --> 01:50:29.199
about the room for an hour. He sits at the table,
1993
01:50:29.840 --> 01:50:32.039
and suddenly the silence is shattered by a sound from
1994
01:50:32.039 --> 01:50:32.439
the kitchen.
1995
01:50:34.880 --> 01:50:42.479
Who's there? Come on over there, Come on? What are
1996
01:50:42.520 --> 01:50:45.239
you doing here? What do you want? How long you
1997
01:50:45.359 --> 01:50:46.119
been in that kitchen?
1998
01:50:46.239 --> 01:50:46.439
Why?
1999
01:50:46.880 --> 01:50:49.520
So you are the little thief that's been stealing my things? Eh?
2000
01:50:49.640 --> 01:50:50.840
What do you have to restart? Nothing?
2001
01:50:51.119 --> 01:50:51.960
I know you are.
2002
01:50:52.520 --> 01:50:56.079
You're Tony Watson Justice, the one who pins my camera,
2003
01:50:56.199 --> 01:50:58.079
my binoculars, yes, and several other things.
2004
01:50:58.520 --> 01:51:00.640
And I am turning you over to the sheriff right now.
2005
01:51:00.800 --> 01:51:04.239
Sheriff, No, I didn't take him. I get I cam
2006
01:51:04.279 --> 01:51:05.279
steal anything.
2007
01:51:05.439 --> 01:51:07.000
But what I know who did?
2008
01:51:07.159 --> 01:51:10.760
Well, you little liar, you're the one, and believe me,
2009
01:51:10.840 --> 01:51:12.640
you're caught on that job this time in island.
2010
01:51:14.159 --> 01:51:21.159
Just a minute, sheriff, come back here, Why that little devil?
2011
01:51:23.199 --> 01:51:23.720
Just a second?
2012
01:51:26.640 --> 01:51:31.279
Well, hello John, thank that's right to your brother Frank himself.
2013
01:51:32.119 --> 01:51:36.119
Come in. What do you want? What are you doing here?
2014
01:51:36.520 --> 01:51:38.279
Just dropped in town. Thought i'd see how you were doing.
2015
01:51:38.600 --> 01:51:39.479
Getting along? All right?
2016
01:51:39.880 --> 01:51:41.840
You might like to hear about your wife and your daughter,
2017
01:51:42.119 --> 01:51:44.039
said why you came here? Your wife is very well,
2018
01:51:44.079 --> 01:51:46.920
your daughter is just five years old today, still wondering
2019
01:51:46.960 --> 01:51:47.880
how you're getting along.
2020
01:51:47.920 --> 01:51:49.880
And when you're gonna send bull I know all about that.
2021
01:51:50.359 --> 01:51:51.720
I'm going to send for them very soon.
2022
01:51:52.199 --> 01:51:54.319
Yeah, I'm gonna live in this little shack. Certainly not.
2023
01:51:54.840 --> 01:51:56.640
There's something a lot better by the time they arrived,
2024
01:51:56.720 --> 01:51:56.960
will you?
2025
01:51:57.720 --> 01:52:00.000
Ah, didn't have a diame when you left. Thank you
2026
01:52:00.119 --> 01:52:00.960
to you in your lives.
2027
01:52:01.479 --> 01:52:03.640
I know who's responsible for father's cutting me off with
2028
01:52:03.720 --> 01:52:04.319
only a dollar.
2029
01:52:04.840 --> 01:52:06.520
You would be instruck paid out here, John?
2030
01:52:06.640 --> 01:52:11.239
No, all these interesting papers maps on the table, nothing,
2031
01:52:11.439 --> 01:52:12.600
Oh but they must mean something.
2032
01:52:12.680 --> 01:52:13.760
Get away from that table.
2033
01:52:13.880 --> 01:52:14.399
Let them alone.
2034
01:52:14.439 --> 01:52:16.520
Put up your hands and stand good. Touch those papers
2035
01:52:16.600 --> 01:52:18.560
back there. Uh huh.
2036
01:52:19.079 --> 01:52:22.119
Interesting, So you have struck something all ready to be recorded. Frank.
2037
01:52:22.159 --> 01:52:24.000
If you, dear, I'll kill you. Why do you think
2038
01:52:24.039 --> 01:52:24.520
I came here?
2039
01:52:24.560 --> 01:52:25.319
You don't worry.
2040
01:52:25.359 --> 01:52:27.119
I'll settle up later. I'll see you get a share.
2041
01:52:27.159 --> 01:52:29.039
My wife and my daughter, daren, they haven't a cent.
2042
01:52:29.239 --> 01:52:30.800
I've not been able to give them anything in months.
2043
01:52:30.840 --> 01:52:31.359
You can't do this.
2044
01:52:31.479 --> 01:52:34.159
They'll put those papers down, Frank, I'll break all thirty.
2045
01:52:34.439 --> 01:52:36.520
You'd better stay where you are. No, I'll koot you first.
2046
01:52:36.560 --> 01:52:37.359
I'll keeting you.
2047
01:52:37.520 --> 01:52:39.000
Crazy, Keep back, Keep away.
2048
01:52:41.359 --> 01:52:42.119
Crazy fool.
2049
01:52:42.119 --> 01:52:43.159
I told you I shoot here.
2050
01:52:44.399 --> 01:52:45.159
You're the fool.
2051
01:52:45.279 --> 01:52:48.960
Frank, You're the fool. She won't get away with this.
2052
01:52:49.800 --> 01:52:50.399
I'll see to that.
2053
01:52:51.159 --> 01:52:51.720
You will pay.
2054
01:52:51.840 --> 01:52:52.119
Frank.
2055
01:52:52.359 --> 01:52:55.239
I'm not through with you yet. You were every one.
2056
01:52:56.079 --> 01:53:00.920
Everything you hold, dear, will will be taken away. You
2057
01:53:00.960 --> 01:53:07.199
will pay it back, Frank me if I have to
2058
01:53:07.840 --> 01:53:11.560
climb out of my grave.
2059
01:53:13.239 --> 01:53:15.039
John John.
2060
01:53:19.159 --> 01:53:21.600
Frank stands for a moment, then stuffs the papers and
2061
01:53:21.680 --> 01:53:23.680
maps into his pocket and rushes to the door and
2062
01:53:23.760 --> 01:53:26.760
into the night. A few seconds later, a face a
2063
01:53:26.880 --> 01:53:30.159
face at the window disappears, and suddenly reappears to the
2064
01:53:30.239 --> 01:53:32.880
back door, and a boy stands looking at the inert
2065
01:53:32.960 --> 01:53:35.960
figure on the cabin floor shows.
2066
01:53:35.760 --> 01:53:38.399
Him right, I won't tell a sheriff anything about.
2067
01:53:38.600 --> 01:53:48.880
Now fifteen years has passed, and now the little mining
2068
01:53:48.960 --> 01:53:52.000
village of Rainbow is a thriving city of mines and smelters,
2069
01:53:52.479 --> 01:53:54.319
and the richest mine of all is the one owned
2070
01:53:54.359 --> 01:53:58.920
by Frank Maddox, and Frank Maddox rules the city. Frank
2071
01:53:59.039 --> 01:54:01.560
is married now and the child a girl of five.
2072
01:54:02.279 --> 01:54:05.000
The child has been ill for days, and tonight, as
2073
01:54:05.039 --> 01:54:08.039
Frank Mattic steps to the door, his wife meets him
2074
01:54:08.079 --> 01:54:09.960
with a strange vacant.
2075
01:54:09.680 --> 01:54:16.560
There, noble, what's happened? How was she? She? Oh? Doctors,
2076
01:54:16.560 --> 01:54:17.800
and they couldn't say no.
2077
01:54:18.600 --> 01:54:20.000
They said she didn't have a chance.
2078
01:54:20.520 --> 01:54:22.560
They did their best, fools. What good are they? What
2079
01:54:22.640 --> 01:54:24.359
are they paid for? They don't even know what was
2080
01:54:24.399 --> 01:54:24.880
wrong with her?
2081
01:54:27.239 --> 01:54:29.640
Well, whatever it was, it was horrible.
2082
01:54:30.479 --> 01:54:33.680
She she died in agony, specialist. I told them they
2083
01:54:33.720 --> 01:54:35.319
can name her own price. The sky was a limit.
2084
01:54:35.439 --> 01:54:37.239
She didn't seem to make any difference.
2085
01:54:37.600 --> 01:54:40.079
A poor little thing, poor baby.
2086
01:54:40.359 --> 01:54:43.000
It didn't seem to be anything serious at first, it
2087
01:54:43.119 --> 01:54:45.359
was just a week ago. She was sitting at her
2088
01:54:45.439 --> 01:54:48.479
desk drawing pictures, and then all of a sudden she
2089
01:54:48.560 --> 01:54:50.760
started to guess for breath and tell her the floor
2090
01:54:50.800 --> 01:54:53.800
any faint, Yes, yes, I know. Then she lapsed into
2091
01:54:53.800 --> 01:54:56.840
a coma. Oh Frank, what was it?
2092
01:54:57.560 --> 01:54:57.600
What?
2093
01:55:01.279 --> 01:55:07.279
What is it? I I get my brand here, freak
2094
01:55:07.319 --> 01:55:08.640
by Greg.
2095
01:55:09.840 --> 01:55:13.680
I didn't want to tell you, but I'm frightened. I've
2096
01:55:13.720 --> 01:55:18.720
had it for several hours. It's just like the baby,
2097
01:55:19.560 --> 01:55:21.600
the same thing, the.
2098
01:55:21.720 --> 01:55:24.479
Baby, and now you are. I know what it is.
2099
01:55:25.199 --> 01:55:29.000
It's him. It's John Brother. Yes, I knew this was
2100
01:55:29.000 --> 01:55:31.640
going to happen. John told me John's dead and.
2101
01:55:32.039 --> 01:55:34.159
The baby took sick. I saw him in a dream.
2102
01:55:34.880 --> 01:55:36.399
He told me something was going to happen to us.
2103
01:55:36.399 --> 01:55:39.119
And last night I saw him again. It was grinning
2104
01:55:39.199 --> 01:55:41.359
and laughing. He told me that he told you what
2105
01:55:41.840 --> 01:55:43.680
he told me, that he finally reached through to me,
2106
01:55:43.920 --> 01:55:45.079
that he finally made contact.
2107
01:55:45.159 --> 01:55:47.319
That's crazy. He said tomorrow would be a sad day
2108
01:55:47.359 --> 01:55:48.560
for me day.
2109
01:55:48.640 --> 01:55:49.319
But it's a dream.
2110
01:55:49.520 --> 01:55:53.000
I know, I knowbody. He said something else. He said
2111
01:55:53.000 --> 01:55:54.920
that now his wife was dead, that the sooner I
2112
01:55:55.039 --> 01:55:56.520
made things right with his daughter to read the.
2113
01:55:56.560 --> 01:55:58.520
Better, Frank, that's nonsense.
2114
01:55:58.640 --> 01:56:01.479
No, no, there must be something too. I'll find a girl.
2115
01:56:01.600 --> 01:56:03.159
I'll get her down here. I'll try to fix things up.
2116
01:56:03.600 --> 01:56:05.000
Maybe maybe that'll stumple.
2117
01:56:05.159 --> 01:56:06.720
Frank, Please please use your head.
2118
01:56:07.279 --> 01:56:08.079
It was a dream.
2119
01:56:08.119 --> 01:56:10.439
I've got to find that girl. I'll send Anthony to
2120
01:56:10.479 --> 01:56:11.960
find her. I'll explain the whole thing to him.
2121
01:56:11.960 --> 01:56:12.520
He can find her.
2122
01:56:12.520 --> 01:56:15.279
Why tell him about it, please, my assistant, I confide
2123
01:56:15.319 --> 01:56:15.680
in him.
2124
01:56:16.039 --> 01:56:17.079
He'll find her very well.
2125
01:56:17.159 --> 01:56:21.840
Then tell Anthony, tell him to find and bring her here.
2126
01:56:23.239 --> 01:56:29.560
Because if you, Frank Melburgh Nolburgh, darling, please find that
2127
01:56:29.760 --> 01:56:31.039
girl Dorry.
2128
01:56:36.920 --> 01:56:39.399
Frank Maddox carries his stricken wife to her room and
2129
01:56:39.560 --> 01:56:43.399
calls the doctor. The next day, he explains in a
2130
01:56:43.479 --> 01:56:47.039
way to his young assistant, Anthony Watson. Anthony rushes to
2131
01:56:47.119 --> 01:56:49.600
the east to locate Dorian Maddocks, and, needless to say,
2132
01:56:49.680 --> 01:56:50.119
he does.
2133
01:56:50.920 --> 01:56:53.039
Before she knows what it's all about. She's aboard the
2134
01:56:53.119 --> 01:56:59.640
train with young Anthony. Didn't you even know you had uncle, Frank?
2135
01:56:59.680 --> 01:56:59.800
Oh?
2136
01:57:00.039 --> 01:57:02.000
Yes, of course, but I didn't know much about him.
2137
01:57:02.000 --> 01:57:03.159
When did your mother die, Irene?
2138
01:57:03.279 --> 01:57:07.960
Five years ago? She well, she committed suicide. What became
2139
01:57:08.039 --> 01:57:08.479
of your father?
2140
01:57:08.960 --> 01:57:11.319
Might have to prospect for gold or silver or something.
2141
01:57:11.720 --> 01:57:14.399
But he got into trouble. Someone shot him, and that's
2142
01:57:14.399 --> 01:57:14.640
all I.
2143
01:57:14.680 --> 01:57:16.880
Know about him. Has your uncle Frank ever offered to
2144
01:57:16.880 --> 01:57:18.199
help you, No, not that I know of.
2145
01:57:18.520 --> 01:57:19.359
I never mentioned it.
2146
01:57:19.439 --> 01:57:19.840
If he did.
2147
01:57:20.800 --> 01:57:23.239
He's a very rich man, you know, and as I've
2148
01:57:23.279 --> 01:57:26.640
told you, very ill ill. Well, he's sort of mentally
2149
01:57:26.680 --> 01:57:31.399
ill as well as physically. Oh green are you?
2150
01:57:32.520 --> 01:57:35.880
That is? Weller girl? As lovely as you should be
2151
01:57:35.960 --> 01:57:37.319
engaged or in love.
2152
01:57:38.800 --> 01:57:39.239
But I'm not.
2153
01:57:39.840 --> 01:57:45.359
You're not really No, that's wonderful. I can't believe it.
2154
01:57:45.479 --> 01:57:47.960
Well, that's the truth. Whether you believe it, I'm not well.
2155
01:57:48.039 --> 01:57:51.199
I believe you, and well, I'm glad to hear it.
2156
01:58:04.079 --> 01:58:06.520
And so you see, Doreena, i'd completely lost track of you.
2157
01:58:07.079 --> 01:58:09.199
I wondered about you and your mother since the tragic
2158
01:58:09.279 --> 01:58:10.000
death of your father.
2159
01:58:10.319 --> 01:58:11.640
Mother died several years ago.
2160
01:58:11.800 --> 01:58:13.479
Uncle. Yes, I should have attempted to look at you
2161
01:58:13.560 --> 01:58:16.640
long ago, should you? Yes? Sure, my brother's child, it
2162
01:58:16.800 --> 01:58:18.720
was my duty to look after you. See that you
2163
01:58:18.800 --> 01:58:19.399
want for nothing.
2164
01:58:19.640 --> 01:58:21.000
But I've been getting along all right.
2165
01:58:21.479 --> 01:58:23.560
I've not been well, Dorene. I've been quite ill lately.
2166
01:58:23.640 --> 01:58:25.760
I've been terribly upset my nerves.
2167
01:58:25.760 --> 01:58:27.039
Perhaps you've been working to her.
2168
01:58:27.279 --> 01:58:30.600
No, no, it isn't that, Dorene. I I'd like you
2169
01:58:30.720 --> 01:58:33.680
to stay here, make this your home. I have a
2170
01:58:33.800 --> 01:58:36.520
check for you, a little present, five thousand dollars.
2171
01:58:37.640 --> 01:58:39.359
No, please, uncle, it isn't necessary.
2172
01:58:39.399 --> 01:58:41.159
You must have accepted, Dorene, you must.
2173
01:58:41.279 --> 01:58:43.319
I don't need it. I'll be glad to stay here
2174
01:58:43.359 --> 01:58:46.439
with you until you're better. Really, I don't know what
2175
01:58:46.560 --> 01:58:48.000
i'd do with's five hours.
2176
01:58:48.199 --> 01:58:50.520
I feel better if you accepted it, and perhaps your
2177
01:58:50.600 --> 01:58:54.520
father would, Father would what, Dolene, I must tell you.
2178
01:58:54.600 --> 01:58:58.239
I've got to tell you. It's striving me mad. John
2179
01:58:58.319 --> 01:58:59.960
is trying to kill me.
2180
01:59:00.199 --> 01:59:02.479
Oh, uncle, father's been dead for you.
2181
01:59:02.800 --> 01:59:05.560
I know, I knowbody died hating me, hating you. He
2182
01:59:05.640 --> 01:59:07.319
blamed me for his having been cut off with only
2183
01:59:07.319 --> 01:59:08.479
a dollar in our father's will.
2184
01:59:08.960 --> 01:59:11.640
But he was wrong. And I don't know he's trying
2185
01:59:11.680 --> 01:59:12.079
to kill me.
2186
01:59:12.399 --> 01:59:13.680
I can't believe such a thing.
2187
01:59:13.800 --> 01:59:17.199
I have horrible nightmares. John appears to me, always threatening me.
2188
01:59:17.920 --> 01:59:19.279
He came to me the night my little daughter.
2189
01:59:19.359 --> 01:59:19.760
He came here.
2190
01:59:20.560 --> 01:59:23.239
Then after she died, he came again when my wife
2191
01:59:23.319 --> 01:59:26.880
was stricken. Him said that after she was gone my turn.
2192
01:59:27.000 --> 01:59:30.560
But that's just your imagination, Uncle, Get it out of
2193
01:59:30.600 --> 01:59:31.000
your mind.
2194
01:59:31.079 --> 01:59:32.640
I can't. I'm afraid to go to sleep.
2195
01:59:33.000 --> 01:59:34.920
You only see him in your dream, yes, but each
2196
01:59:35.000 --> 01:59:38.920
time he comes nearer, closer, more real. What isn't just imagination.
2197
01:59:40.119 --> 01:59:43.840
I'm afraid that one of these days I'll I'll see
2198
01:59:43.880 --> 01:59:44.800
him when I'm not asleep.
2199
01:59:45.119 --> 01:59:48.279
And you think my being here will help Matthis is that.
2200
01:59:48.800 --> 01:59:52.039
Yes, if he knows you're here, I'm taking care of
2201
01:59:52.119 --> 01:59:53.439
you and have your welfare at heart.
2202
01:59:53.520 --> 01:59:56.760
Perhaps, well, perhaps he'll.
2203
01:59:56.640 --> 01:59:59.279
Let me alone prove to him if he judged you wrongly.
2204
01:59:59.640 --> 02:00:02.680
Yes, I must make him understand that I can't go
2205
02:00:02.760 --> 02:00:04.960
on in this way. I'm a physical wreck. I'm ill,
2206
02:00:05.000 --> 02:00:05.960
praid my mind will snap.
2207
02:00:06.520 --> 02:00:10.079
I understand, Uncle. I'll try to help you, but you
2208
02:00:10.159 --> 02:00:13.880
must try to get this off your mind. Yes, you
2209
02:00:14.000 --> 02:00:15.319
better go to bed down, uncle.
2210
02:00:15.239 --> 02:00:19.199
Please take the check very well. Good night.
2211
02:00:27.960 --> 02:00:30.840
An hour passes, and in spite of himself, Frank drops
2212
02:00:30.880 --> 02:00:34.600
into a fretful sleep. He moans and tosses about, and
2213
02:00:34.680 --> 02:00:37.680
as usual, he dreams of John again, sees him come
2214
02:00:37.760 --> 02:00:40.039
through the wall and stand in the center of the room.
2215
02:00:40.359 --> 02:00:44.560
You won't get away with it, Frank, everything and everyone
2216
02:00:44.720 --> 02:00:47.439
you hold dear could be taken away.
2217
02:00:48.439 --> 02:00:50.439
You'll pay it back, Frank.
2218
02:00:50.840 --> 02:00:56.039
To me and mine? No alone?
2219
02:00:57.960 --> 02:01:06.159
Sorry, uncle, what's happening to read?
2220
02:01:07.399 --> 02:01:11.479
He will here just now. I s I heard him laughing.
2221
02:01:12.359 --> 02:01:14.960
That I heard him, I tell you what. You could
2222
02:01:15.000 --> 02:01:16.039
hear his laugh all of the house.
2223
02:01:16.159 --> 02:01:17.760
I heard nothing, Uncle, That a sound.
2224
02:01:17.840 --> 02:01:18.680
I woke up to you.
2225
02:01:19.079 --> 02:01:19.520
I heard it.
2226
02:01:19.800 --> 02:01:22.119
Uncle, you must have been dreaming. But I haven't been
2227
02:01:22.119 --> 02:01:23.960
asleep since I left you. I've been reading. I didn't
2228
02:01:24.000 --> 02:01:24.760
hear a sound you.
2229
02:01:26.079 --> 02:01:28.800
You didn't hear anything. Really, No, not a sound, you, Anthony.
2230
02:01:29.119 --> 02:01:31.680
I heard nothing. You were just dreaming. Oh no, it
2231
02:01:31.760 --> 02:01:35.000
was too real. This is what I've been afraid of.
2232
02:01:35.960 --> 02:01:40.359
I know you don't believe me. You think I'm insane. Uncle, Please, yes,
2233
02:01:41.239 --> 02:01:46.680
maybe I am. No, No, don't read, don't go, don't go,
2234
02:01:46.760 --> 02:01:47.520
please Uncle.
2235
02:01:47.560 --> 02:01:50.800
There's nothing I can do. It's up to you. You
2236
02:01:50.920 --> 02:01:52.840
must convince yourself that it's all imagination.
2237
02:01:54.159 --> 02:01:54.840
Good night, Uncle.
2238
02:02:02.439 --> 02:02:05.560
And then the next night comes and Frank dreams again
2239
02:02:05.800 --> 02:02:10.479
the same frightful dream. John appears, repeats the same words
2240
02:02:10.520 --> 02:02:13.840
and laughs in the same way. Frank is wide awake,
2241
02:02:13.960 --> 02:02:16.800
now shaking with fear, and all the while trying to
2242
02:02:16.880 --> 02:02:20.399
convince himself that it's only his imagination. Then the bedroom
2243
02:02:20.479 --> 02:02:24.600
door opens. Suddenly Doreen steps into the room. Her face
2244
02:02:24.720 --> 02:02:27.159
is white with fear. She trembles as she moves slowly
2245
02:02:27.199 --> 02:02:31.880
towards the bed. Dobreen, what is it?
2246
02:02:32.840 --> 02:02:33.279
What's wrong?
2247
02:02:33.359 --> 02:02:36.720
I'm just now I heard something?
2248
02:02:36.960 --> 02:02:38.720
What Doreen?
2249
02:02:38.760 --> 02:02:39.199
What did you hear?
2250
02:02:40.319 --> 02:02:44.079
Must have? But it was so clear, father, Yes, yes,
2251
02:02:44.159 --> 02:02:46.479
I heard him, and he was laughing.
2252
02:02:46.520 --> 02:02:48.000
And if you heard him, it must be true. He
2253
02:02:48.079 --> 02:02:51.439
has come back. Did you hear it too, Yes, yes,
2254
02:02:51.520 --> 02:02:53.960
he was here in this room. What did he say
2255
02:02:53.960 --> 02:02:54.079
to you?
2256
02:02:54.760 --> 02:02:57.680
I can't remember. I was so frightened, but I heard
2257
02:02:57.760 --> 02:02:59.840
him and that laughed.
2258
02:03:00.159 --> 02:03:02.880
Now you believe me? No, you know I'm not imagining.
2259
02:03:04.800 --> 02:03:07.880
Until frightened, I don't know what to think. I can't
2260
02:03:07.920 --> 02:03:10.840
stay here any longer. I've got to leave. I can't
2261
02:03:10.840 --> 02:03:11.640
stay another night.
2262
02:03:12.239 --> 02:03:16.640
Please, don't go Nut yet. Promise that you'll state it's
2263
02:03:16.720 --> 02:03:18.079
just a while longer, please?
2264
02:03:21.199 --> 02:03:23.880
Or right, I'll try, I'll see.
2265
02:03:30.199 --> 02:03:33.479
Then comes the next night, another dreadful night of horror.
2266
02:03:34.119 --> 02:03:37.159
Frank tries his best to control his mounting fear. As
2267
02:03:37.239 --> 02:03:42.000
evening passes and midnight comes, he fights sleep the sleep
2268
02:03:42.039 --> 02:03:44.560
that brings him nothing but horrifying dreams and the voice
2269
02:03:44.560 --> 02:03:45.000
of John.
2270
02:03:45.880 --> 02:03:48.640
But finally he can hold out no longer and his
2271
02:03:48.800 --> 02:03:52.760
eyes close. A half hour goes by then.
2272
02:03:53.359 --> 02:04:00.479
Frank, Frank, you're not asleep, Frank, You're wide away and
2273
02:04:00.640 --> 02:04:01.359
this is real.
2274
02:04:01.439 --> 02:04:01.880
It's odd.
2275
02:04:02.840 --> 02:04:03.439
What do you want?
2276
02:04:04.640 --> 02:04:06.159
Tell me, I'll do it.
2277
02:04:06.359 --> 02:04:07.079
I'll do anything.
2278
02:04:07.199 --> 02:04:10.680
I told you you'd pay everything, and every one dear
2279
02:04:10.720 --> 02:04:13.159
to you would be taken away at this very moment.
2280
02:04:13.199 --> 02:04:17.199
Your wife is dying, Frank, first your daughter, now your wife,
2281
02:04:18.119 --> 02:04:19.239
and then you John.
2282
02:04:19.359 --> 02:04:20.479
Please, I'll do anything.
2283
02:04:20.760 --> 02:04:23.960
Then sit down at that table and write, write a will,
2284
02:04:24.840 --> 02:04:28.119
everything to the one that belongs to my daughter.
2285
02:04:28.279 --> 02:04:28.640
Dream.
2286
02:04:28.840 --> 02:04:29.960
Yes, yes, I'll do it.
2287
02:04:30.199 --> 02:04:33.399
And the confession, Frank, confession and confession that you came
2288
02:04:33.439 --> 02:04:35.800
to my cabin that night it killed me.
2289
02:04:36.000 --> 02:04:38.399
Oh no, I can, so you can, and you will
2290
02:04:39.399 --> 02:04:40.039
now hang.
2291
02:04:40.039 --> 02:04:43.560
They won't hang you. No, write the will and the confession.
2292
02:04:43.920 --> 02:04:45.800
Yes, but I'm afraid that.
2293
02:04:45.840 --> 02:04:50.000
They won't hang you, because in just one minute you
2294
02:04:50.199 --> 02:04:50.840
will be dead.
2295
02:04:51.000 --> 02:04:53.319
It's off very Frank. You haven't much time to see
2296
02:04:53.359 --> 02:04:55.439
your soul. You're going to have a stroke.
2297
02:04:55.520 --> 02:04:55.800
Frank.
2298
02:04:56.119 --> 02:04:58.039
In just a minute, you'll feel a sudden beating of
2299
02:04:58.079 --> 02:05:01.880
your temples. A stroke what they'll call it, and you'll
2300
02:05:01.920 --> 02:05:02.279
be dead.
2301
02:05:03.079 --> 02:05:05.680
Very is a mind that I will Your conscience will
2302
02:05:05.720 --> 02:05:06.560
be clear, Frank.
2303
02:05:06.520 --> 02:05:09.840
And that'll be best for you. I know I said that, Rachel,
2304
02:05:10.199 --> 02:05:12.000
if I had to crawl out of my gray.
2305
02:05:12.359 --> 02:05:12.880
There it is now.
2306
02:05:12.960 --> 02:05:15.680
Please be along, Frank, Please please rate, Frank.
2307
02:05:16.039 --> 02:05:18.520
You're going back with me to look at the clock.
2308
02:05:19.159 --> 02:05:23.359
Fifteen seconds left. Now it's starting. Your head is beginning
2309
02:05:23.399 --> 02:05:25.960
to whirl. Strange sounds beat in your ears.
2310
02:05:26.520 --> 02:05:29.399
Faster, faster, do you yes?
2311
02:05:29.680 --> 02:05:31.319
Yes, please don't John.
2312
02:05:31.680 --> 02:05:36.319
Five seconds. There it is. If you're dying, Frank, this
2313
02:05:36.560 --> 02:05:36.760
is the.
2314
02:05:36.920 --> 02:05:43.319
End, the end of Frank Maddock, A young young No.
2315
02:05:46.000 --> 02:05:58.560
Well, good, thank good, Thank Anthony, Sam, what's happened? I've
2316
02:05:58.560 --> 02:06:03.399
heard him screaming, Anthony, I think you jillis puff. I
2317
02:06:03.520 --> 02:06:06.880
can't find it had a trace it is.
2318
02:06:07.439 --> 02:06:10.079
I don't know. He's had a stroke. I think I'll
2319
02:06:10.159 --> 02:06:12.520
call the doctor. Yes, let's go after him. His cars
2320
02:06:12.520 --> 02:06:13.359
out of order. Come on.
2321
02:06:14.560 --> 02:06:16.359
Maybe too late for the doctor, but we'd better get
2322
02:06:16.399 --> 02:06:18.479
him anyway. Use this phone and tell him I'll be
2323
02:06:18.479 --> 02:06:19.199
there in a few minutes.
2324
02:06:26.479 --> 02:06:27.199
Can hear doctor?
2325
02:06:27.439 --> 02:06:31.079
What happened to him? I think he had a stroke. Stroke?
2326
02:06:31.159 --> 02:06:35.800
Eh, well, you had him screaming and when he got
2327
02:06:35.840 --> 02:06:36.760
here he was unconscious.
2328
02:06:37.640 --> 02:06:41.079
Really is dead, but he didn't have a stroke. What
2329
02:06:41.560 --> 02:06:44.239
you can say for yourself? He's been stabbed in the heart.
2330
02:06:44.840 --> 02:06:53.560
You don't need me, You want the police the same
2331
02:06:53.640 --> 02:06:55.880
mess as you heard your uncle screaming. I did wanted
2332
02:06:55.920 --> 02:06:57.560
it seem to be a scream of pain.
2333
02:06:57.720 --> 02:06:57.760
No.
2334
02:06:57.920 --> 02:06:59.680
No, I couldn't make out what it was, but it
2335
02:06:59.720 --> 02:07:02.479
sounds as though he was horribly frightened. It seemed as
2336
02:07:02.479 --> 02:07:04.279
though he was pleading with someone.
2337
02:07:04.399 --> 02:07:07.199
Did you hear, Anthony, Yes, it sounded just as Dreene said,
2338
02:07:07.239 --> 02:07:08.720
as though someone or something.
2339
02:07:08.520 --> 02:07:10.680
Were after him. What do you mean by something? Oh?
2340
02:07:10.720 --> 02:07:12.479
I just used that as a form of expression. And
2341
02:07:12.560 --> 02:07:14.600
when you reached him, he was on the floor unconscious.
2342
02:07:15.279 --> 02:07:16.359
Was he dead? We didn't know.
2343
02:07:16.520 --> 02:07:19.760
I couldn't find any posts. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything.
2344
02:07:20.159 --> 02:07:21.279
That's why I went for the doctor.
2345
02:07:21.560 --> 02:07:23.680
And you didn't notice the knife woned in his chest?
2346
02:07:23.800 --> 02:07:23.840
No?
2347
02:07:24.079 --> 02:07:25.079
Did you see it? Miss No?
2348
02:07:25.439 --> 02:07:27.560
It may have been there, but I didn't notice it.
2349
02:07:27.840 --> 02:07:30.239
Are you sure he didn't have a stroke? Doctor? Positive.
2350
02:07:30.479 --> 02:07:32.600
He may have had a collapse, fainted, but there was
2351
02:07:32.640 --> 02:07:34.760
no stroke. He died from this stab in the heart.
2352
02:07:35.119 --> 02:07:37.079
What sort of instrument would you say was used?
2353
02:07:37.159 --> 02:07:39.279
Well, I'd say a long, thin knife about a half
2354
02:07:39.399 --> 02:07:43.479
inch wide, like a letter opener, Yes, sort of a stiletto. Doctor.
2355
02:07:43.640 --> 02:07:47.000
Had you been treating mister Mattix lately for any particular ailment? Well,
2356
02:07:47.119 --> 02:07:49.960
I've been attending him frequently of late. What was troubling him?
2357
02:07:50.079 --> 02:07:52.680
I don't know. I don't know. Are you sure?
2358
02:07:53.000 --> 02:07:53.199
Well?
2359
02:07:53.239 --> 02:07:55.960
I couldn't find any definite physical trouble, but he was
2360
02:07:56.000 --> 02:07:58.960
becoming terribly run down, seemed to get worse each day.
2361
02:07:59.560 --> 02:08:03.800
He couldn't eat nor sleep, extremely nervous, hype attention. I
2362
02:08:03.880 --> 02:08:06.319
gave him sedatives and tonics, but they seemed to do
2363
02:08:06.439 --> 02:08:08.560
no good. So I finally came to the conclusion that
2364
02:08:08.600 --> 02:08:09.319
it was mental.
2365
02:08:09.279 --> 02:08:10.239
Mattal what do you mean?
2366
02:08:10.960 --> 02:08:13.439
I think he developed some sort of phobia, a fear
2367
02:08:14.039 --> 02:08:16.800
what I was never able to determine in time. It
2368
02:08:16.840 --> 02:08:20.199
would have resulted in insanity and finally death, or perhaps
2369
02:08:20.239 --> 02:08:21.119
a stroke and death.
2370
02:08:21.920 --> 02:08:24.039
But in this case, it was not a stroke. You've
2371
02:08:24.039 --> 02:08:27.560
been attending his wife, yes, what is her ailment? Carcinoma,
2372
02:08:28.039 --> 02:08:30.439
but she doesn't know it. There's nothing more I can
2373
02:08:30.520 --> 02:08:34.039
do for her except alleviate the pain ms manics From
2374
02:08:34.079 --> 02:08:35.800
the tone of your uncle's screams, would you say that
2375
02:08:35.840 --> 02:08:37.359
there was some person in the room with him at
2376
02:08:37.399 --> 02:08:37.680
the time?
2377
02:08:38.279 --> 02:08:39.720
Yes and no?
2378
02:08:40.199 --> 02:08:41.880
Yes and no. What does that mean?
2379
02:08:41.960 --> 02:08:43.880
I mean he may have thought someone was here with him.
2380
02:08:43.840 --> 02:08:45.199
May have thought someone was with him.
2381
02:08:45.279 --> 02:08:47.920
Yes, there is well, from all appearances, there was someone
2382
02:08:47.960 --> 02:08:51.960
with him, for someone who stabbed him. Anthony was mismatics
2383
02:08:52.000 --> 02:08:53.920
in this room and you came in. No, we met
2384
02:08:53.960 --> 02:08:55.720
in the hall and came in together, and neither of
2385
02:08:55.800 --> 02:08:56.520
you saw the knife.
2386
02:08:56.560 --> 02:08:59.840
Woe. I'm sure I didn't freen He just said that
2387
02:09:00.239 --> 02:09:02.199
he may have thought someone was here in this room.
2388
02:09:02.359 --> 02:09:04.840
What do you mean he was afraid of afraid of why?
2389
02:09:04.960 --> 02:09:05.520
Afraid of who?
2390
02:09:05.920 --> 02:09:07.800
Afraid of my father?
2391
02:09:08.039 --> 02:09:08.239
Why?
2392
02:09:09.000 --> 02:09:09.159
Why?
2393
02:09:09.319 --> 02:09:11.159
Your father's been dead fifteen years?
2394
02:09:11.239 --> 02:09:14.359
Yeah, yes, but that's just it, honey, as well tell
2395
02:09:14.399 --> 02:09:16.880
you he was afraid my father was trying to kill him.
2396
02:09:17.239 --> 02:09:18.199
That's what was wrong with him.
2397
02:09:18.199 --> 02:09:18.960
I couldn't sleep.
2398
02:09:19.159 --> 02:09:21.479
Oh gosh, now it's spoke.
2399
02:09:21.640 --> 02:09:21.680
No.
2400
02:09:21.920 --> 02:09:24.199
No, he said the father appeared to him every.
2401
02:09:24.039 --> 02:09:26.720
Night and threatened him, threatened him. Well, all right, so
2402
02:09:26.880 --> 02:09:27.760
he threatened him. Why?
2403
02:09:27.880 --> 02:09:30.239
He said father hated him? Father thought uncle Frank had
2404
02:09:30.279 --> 02:09:31.680
caused him to lose his inheritance.
2405
02:09:31.880 --> 02:09:34.359
Well, doctor, you think that's what was wrong with Frank?
2406
02:09:34.560 --> 02:09:37.239
Could have been quite possible, all right, I'll grant you that.
2407
02:09:37.359 --> 02:09:39.119
But no spoke produced that knife wound.
2408
02:09:39.840 --> 02:09:42.199
Ireen. Do you believe that your father lost his inherentans
2409
02:09:42.239 --> 02:09:43.319
because of your uncle? No?
2410
02:09:43.680 --> 02:09:44.239
No, I do not.
2411
02:09:44.439 --> 02:09:44.960
I are sure.
2412
02:09:45.520 --> 02:09:47.239
I'm sure father did not lose his father of the
2413
02:09:47.359 --> 02:09:48.680
estate because of Uncle Frank.
2414
02:09:48.840 --> 02:09:50.479
I am sure. Could you approve that?
2415
02:09:50.640 --> 02:09:52.800
Oh no, no, I couldn't.
2416
02:09:53.439 --> 02:09:55.319
I never heard father mention it. I never heard him
2417
02:09:55.319 --> 02:09:56.239
accuse Uncle Frank.
2418
02:09:56.520 --> 02:09:57.399
What brought you here?
2419
02:09:57.600 --> 02:09:58.600
My uncle sent for me?
2420
02:09:58.880 --> 02:09:59.079
Why?
2421
02:09:59.399 --> 02:10:01.399
Because he was a afraid of my father. He thought
2422
02:10:01.439 --> 02:10:02.880
my being here might helped matter.
2423
02:10:03.079 --> 02:10:05.800
That's right, Captain. He sent me for Dream. I located
2424
02:10:05.840 --> 02:10:06.560
her and brought her here.
2425
02:10:06.720 --> 02:10:12.279
Oh me, my, this gets worse and worse. You know
2426
02:10:12.399 --> 02:10:15.319
all about it too, Yes, mister Maddock's confided in me.
2427
02:10:15.760 --> 02:10:17.600
He had the idea that if Dream were brought here
2428
02:10:17.680 --> 02:10:19.760
and he showed good intentions toward her, that John would
2429
02:10:19.800 --> 02:10:21.600
leavehim alone for Joan.
2430
02:10:22.119 --> 02:10:24.880
What a busy guy. It isn't funny. You just said it.
2431
02:10:25.199 --> 02:10:27.239
Frank Maddox has been murdered and it wasn't a spook.
2432
02:10:27.520 --> 02:10:29.439
I know who did it, and I know why. What
2433
02:10:29.560 --> 02:10:31.720
are you talking about? Frank Maddix didn't send for her.
2434
02:10:31.960 --> 02:10:33.479
She came here of her own accord, and for a
2435
02:10:33.520 --> 02:10:35.800
definite reason. She did not I brought her here. Ellian,
2436
02:10:35.880 --> 02:10:37.359
you're trying to cover her up for I am not
2437
02:10:37.600 --> 02:10:39.239
because you're in love with there. Anybody can see that.
2438
02:10:39.439 --> 02:10:40.960
What if I am in love with him? That doesn't
2439
02:10:40.960 --> 02:10:41.840
have anything to do with this.
2440
02:10:42.039 --> 02:10:43.399
Frank Maddox sent me for her.
2441
02:10:43.479 --> 02:10:43.880
He did not.
2442
02:10:44.079 --> 02:10:45.560
She knew that Frank was the cause of her father
2443
02:10:45.680 --> 02:10:47.880
losing his inheritance, so she came here to kill him,
2444
02:10:47.920 --> 02:10:50.520
and she did. It doesn't make sense. Why would she
2445
02:10:50.680 --> 02:10:52.399
kill him? What would she game for that? I have
2446
02:10:52.479 --> 02:10:54.600
a hair of revenge. If it hadn't been for Frank,
2447
02:10:54.600 --> 02:10:56.199
her father would have been wealthy, and so was she.
2448
02:10:56.600 --> 02:10:58.840
But she didn't know about her father's accusations until Frank
2449
02:10:58.840 --> 02:10:59.760
Maddox's told her himself.
2450
02:11:00.119 --> 02:11:02.319
Oh, then you admit that she does know about it now.
2451
02:11:02.439 --> 02:11:04.399
I knew nothing about it until Uncle Prak told me.
2452
02:11:05.079 --> 02:11:06.560
But I still think father was wrong.
2453
02:11:06.680 --> 02:11:08.600
Whether you know about it before you came here or
2454
02:11:08.680 --> 02:11:10.560
learn it after you got here, what's the difference. It's
2455
02:11:10.600 --> 02:11:13.359
a motive. You stabbed him, he left the room, and
2456
02:11:13.399 --> 02:11:15.960
then you met Anthony in the hall. You're stuck, miss Maddix,
2457
02:11:16.000 --> 02:11:19.159
and you're haven't a chance. Wait, wait a minute, missus Maddox,
2458
02:11:19.159 --> 02:11:19.760
don't come in here.
2459
02:11:20.199 --> 02:11:22.399
Why why shouldn't I come in here?
2460
02:11:22.479 --> 02:11:24.960
You shouldn't get up you well you should.
2461
02:11:25.039 --> 02:11:26.359
I know, I know all about it.
2462
02:11:27.199 --> 02:11:28.119
I know what's happened.
2463
02:11:28.479 --> 02:11:29.359
I've heard every word.
2464
02:11:29.560 --> 02:11:31.840
You're you're very ill, Missus Maddocks.
2465
02:11:31.920 --> 02:11:34.399
I know I heard you, and now I know what's
2466
02:11:34.439 --> 02:11:36.960
wrong with me. I know what corsinoma is.
2467
02:11:37.079 --> 02:11:40.640
Doctor. Please go back to bed. No, not just yet.
2468
02:11:40.720 --> 02:11:45.079
I well this girl, Doreen, you're wrong. She's innocent. She
2469
02:11:45.199 --> 02:11:46.039
had nothing to do with it.
2470
02:11:46.319 --> 02:11:49.159
That is not directly. What do you mean, missus Maddox.
2471
02:11:49.880 --> 02:11:54.239
She didn't kill Frank, I did you. She's perfectly innocent.
2472
02:11:54.960 --> 02:11:57.039
Frank did send for her. He was afraid of John.
2473
02:11:57.119 --> 02:11:58.279
He dreamed about him every night.
2474
02:11:58.760 --> 02:12:01.079
He did think John was trying to reach him from
2475
02:12:01.119 --> 02:12:04.000
the grave, trying to kill him. It was his imagination,
2476
02:12:04.119 --> 02:12:06.359
I know, but he really believed it, and he had
2477
02:12:06.399 --> 02:12:09.760
a good reason to believe it. What I've heard Frank
2478
02:12:09.960 --> 02:12:13.159
moaning and yelling for weeks and weeks I heard him tonight.
2479
02:12:13.920 --> 02:12:15.640
I came in here and found him on the floor.
2480
02:12:16.399 --> 02:12:20.279
He'd made a will, this paper, leaving everything to Dora
2481
02:12:20.359 --> 02:12:21.680
in and explaining.
2482
02:12:21.319 --> 02:12:25.560
Why, oh, sit down, Melbourne.
2483
02:12:26.760 --> 02:12:30.279
Yes, well he came out of his faint when I
2484
02:12:30.399 --> 02:12:32.840
found this will. I went wild when I saw it.
2485
02:12:33.520 --> 02:12:35.199
He tried to get it away from me. He said
2486
02:12:35.239 --> 02:12:38.039
it had to be that way. We struggled for it,
2487
02:12:38.640 --> 02:12:41.760
and I took the paper knife and stabbed him. I
2488
02:12:41.880 --> 02:12:44.960
went back to my room, but I've been standing outside
2489
02:12:45.000 --> 02:12:50.840
the door. I heard everything, particularly what you said about me, doctor,
2490
02:12:51.960 --> 02:12:52.960
So what does it matter?
2491
02:12:53.920 --> 02:12:56.520
This girl is innocent, pap Let's see it.
2492
02:12:56.600 --> 02:12:57.600
I'll tell you what it says.
2493
02:12:58.000 --> 02:13:01.520
It leaves everything Frank has to Dorian and the reason
2494
02:13:01.600 --> 02:13:07.560
why Frank killed John. Yes, it was all my fault.
2495
02:13:08.239 --> 02:13:10.000
I knew John had made a strike, and I told
2496
02:13:10.039 --> 02:13:13.279
Frank about it. Frank went to John's cabin and killed him,
2497
02:13:13.319 --> 02:13:15.319
took the maps in the papers and filed an acclaim.
2498
02:13:16.239 --> 02:13:19.439
I was the one responsible for everything, but it all
2499
02:13:19.560 --> 02:13:24.880
rightfully belongs to Doreen. And now, well, now that I've
2500
02:13:24.920 --> 02:13:28.600
heard the doctor's sentence, what does it matter?
2501
02:13:33.439 --> 02:13:34.279
Well, Dorene.
2502
02:13:34.439 --> 02:13:37.479
That was lucky for you, lucky that Melbourne was standing
2503
02:13:37.520 --> 02:13:41.319
outside the door and heard the doctor lit what I
2504
02:13:41.479 --> 02:13:45.760
know about you, Dorene. You and Anthony Anthony did bring
2505
02:13:45.840 --> 02:13:48.319
you down here, but on the way he fell madly
2506
02:13:48.359 --> 02:13:51.239
in love with you. He told you about your uncle's fears,
2507
02:13:51.359 --> 02:13:53.279
and so between the two of you, you decided to
2508
02:13:53.359 --> 02:13:57.000
make his dreams more than real. Anthony arranged a little
2509
02:13:57.159 --> 02:14:01.039
radio speaker in Uncle Frank's room. It was Anthony who
2510
02:14:01.079 --> 02:14:05.600
spoke to Frank, not John's voice from the grave. Anthony
2511
02:14:05.720 --> 02:14:10.600
merely amplified Frank's dreams. Yes, you and Anthony planned to
2512
02:14:10.680 --> 02:14:13.960
work on Frank psychologically in order to get that will
2513
02:14:14.000 --> 02:14:17.439
in the confession. But how did Anthony know the exact
2514
02:14:17.479 --> 02:14:20.479
words to use the words John used when he was
2515
02:14:20.600 --> 02:14:24.239
dying that night in the cabin. Why Because Anthony was
2516
02:14:24.319 --> 02:14:26.560
the little boy John caught in his cabin that night,
2517
02:14:27.279 --> 02:14:30.119
the boy who heard every word said between Frank and John,
2518
02:14:30.880 --> 02:14:58.920
the smart little boy who saw it all. CBS has
2519
02:14:59.039 --> 02:15:08.600
presented the wor Slur. Original music for this production was
2520
02:15:08.680 --> 02:15:10.560
composed and conducted by Wilbur Hatch.
2521
02:15:11.119 --> 02:15:12.720
The Whistler is written and directed by J.
2522
02:15:12.880 --> 02:15:15.880
Donald Wilson, and originates from Columbia Square in Hollywood.
2523
02:15:16.840 --> 02:15:18.399
Next week, same time.
2524
02:15:18.880 --> 02:15:23.399
I the whistler will return to tell you another unusual tale.
2525
02:15:24.439 --> 02:15:32.319
Good night. There is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.
2526
02:15:46.479 --> 02:15:50.960
My dear, the night has run its course, and soon
2527
02:15:51.640 --> 02:15:55.079
the sun will be out high in the sky yet again,
2528
02:15:55.920 --> 02:16:00.520
bringing with it the light and heat that you well
2529
02:16:01.199 --> 02:16:07.199
better get used to. But please do come back. I
2530
02:16:07.399 --> 02:16:11.479
so enjoy this time we spend together. I'll be here,
2531
02:16:12.279 --> 02:16:19.399
same time, same place, happy to share something with you.
2532
02:16:20.840 --> 02:16:24.520
But if I may ask one favor before you go.
2533
02:16:25.960 --> 02:16:28.880
As you make your way home, as you march through
2534
02:16:28.960 --> 02:16:31.840
the woods and over the river, as you head through
2535
02:16:32.000 --> 02:16:35.200
the dark alleys of your town, as you lay your
2536
02:16:35.280 --> 02:16:38.360
head on your soft pillow and blink away the day,
2537
02:16:39.200 --> 02:16:43.040
take one moment and be thankful for what you have,
2538
02:16:44.120 --> 02:16:46.600
and I'll be seeing you soon.
2539
02:17:00.760 --> 02:17:02.639
Bring your.
2540
02:17:04.719 --> 02:17:06.840
Mumbling private thanks of pregnant
2541
02:17:09.600 --> 02:17:10.120
