Key Takeaways

  • Experience "Unknown Broadcast," a special episode bringing classic old-time radio horror to Weekly Spooky.
  • Explore four distinct tales: a fantasy woman stepping out of imagination, a professor's encounter with unnatural devotion, a criminal investigation with spectral witnesses, and a moral trap from "The Whistler."

  • Discover how 'old time radio horror' masterfully creates terror through sound and suggestion, leaving the listener's mind to fill in the blanks.
Unknown Broadcast returns to the Weekly Spooky feed with another dimly glowing transmission of old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, vintage radio mystery, psychological horror, and ghostly little dramas where the mind is never quite as private as it seems.

Tonight’s broadcast brings four eerie classics from the darker corners of the dial: a commuter whose fantasy woman steps out of his imagination and into his doom, a cold professor pursued by a force he refuses to understand, a criminal investigation where the dead may be the only witness left worth trusting, and a final Whistler tale where one desperate choice may seal a fate already waiting in the dark. The host is waiting. The chair is ready. The story is sharpening. But some things, perhaps wisely, remain just a little out of focus.

📸 Out of Focus — A bored married man dreams up the perfect woman, only to discover that desire can become flesh, obsession can become murder, and fantasy may demand a body count.
🕯️ How Love Came to Professor Guildea — A brilliant, loveless man rejects emotion as weakness, until something unseen enters his life with a devotion so unnatural it becomes terrifying.
🪑 Banquo’s Chair — A Scotland Yard inspector stages one final psychological trap, using an empty chair, a murder suspect, and the possibility that guilt may summon more than memory.
⚖️ Decision — A desperate choice leads into one of The Whistler’s cruel little moral traps, where guilt, fear, and consequence wait patiently for the moment a person thinks they have escaped.

Four classic OTR horror stories pass through Unknown Broadcast tonight… and whether the terror begins in fantasy, forbidden affection, a chair waiting for the dead, or one final terrible decision, the static knows exactly where to look.

00:00:09.880 --> 00:00:14.960
Ah, my dear, I was waiting, hoping to see you

2
00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:21.320
here tonight. Please please sit down, relax. We have so

3
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:29.399
much to enjoy this evening. Or what's that? Well? Hm,

4
00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:33.719
that is a conundrum. I suppose I could go into

5
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:37.840
it a little bit, but I don't know. I don't

6
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:42.119
think it's worth it. No, no, I say, we go

7
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:48.359
about enjoying ourselves as we often do. Not everything has

8
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:54.399
to be explained, and not everything has to necessarily make sense.

9
00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:01.719
Sometimes in life, or something resembling it, the best of

10
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:06.120
things are often out of focus.

11
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:36.239
The CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents.

12
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:35.319
Come in. Welcome, I meet you, marshall. Welcome to the

13
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:39.640
fear you can hear. Welcome to the world of your

14
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:46.000
own terrifying imagination. All of us daydream. It seems a

15
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:50.000
harmless enough way of passing the time. But what might

16
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.719
we do if some of the things that pass through

17
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:57.560
our minds come true? Supposing the man or the woman

18
00:01:58.239 --> 00:02:02.280
we created in the mind's eye, because reality the phantom

19
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:04.159
became flesh and blood.

20
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.599
Our puzzling, nerve tingling tale.

21
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:12.479
Begins as it ends with sudden, irrevocable death.

22
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:23.199
No, Isabella, it's sky.

23
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:26.080
Sky, I've been worried, sick. Where have you been?

24
00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:28.680
Where are you at the apartment?

25
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:31.680
I've been calling and calling. The film must be.

26
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:32.159
Out of order.

27
00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:36.919
I took off hawk. Are you with her again? There

28
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.000
is any her anymore? Dead?

29
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:39.960
Was dead?

30
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:44.520
Whoever she was? Whatever she was? What do you mean

31
00:02:45.439 --> 00:02:46.039
she was a witch?

32
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:46.599
Isabella?

33
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.319
There was not a way I had the killer.

34
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:58.439
You're what sky? I this letter on the desk. I've

35
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:03.280
tried to explain ever for the cancer for you.

36
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:15.360
Oh God, Well, Scott, Scott, don't hurry up, Oh God.

37
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:28.560
Our mystery drama Out of Focus was written especially for

38
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:32.680
the Mystery theater by Ian Martin and stars William Redfield.

39
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.759
It is sponsored in part by new sugar Free Diet

40
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:39.280
seven up and by the Kellogg Company, makers of Kellogg's

41
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:40.439
special k Cereal.

42
00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:43.280
I'll be back shortly with that one.

43
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:48.400
Hi. I'm Goldilach is Goldilaxe, if you please, And I'm

44
00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:53.120
a professional taste tester here at my Taste Test Laboratory.

45
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:55.199
That's TTL for shortening.

46
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:55.520
There.

47
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:56.560
I taste test.

48
00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:00.560
Everything from porridge to diet drinks. Actually, there's not that

49
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:03.199
much taste testing in porridge these days.

50
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.960
There used to be once upon a time. I mean

51
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.240
that's how this miss got into the biz.

52
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:13.280
But lately it's been diet drinks. I mean, with so

53
00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:17.040
many diet drinks going sugar free, I've been really busy

54
00:04:17.160 --> 00:04:21.800
conducting taste tests, a rather unbearable assignment, to be sure.

55
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:27.800
But then I discovered sugar free Diet seven up, Fresh, Natural, delicious.

56
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.040
My only problem is that sugar free Diet seven up

57
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:34.720
tastes so good that it broke my Golderloggs diet.

58
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:38.040
Drink taste to meter. Well, sugar free Diet seven up

59
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:39.040
certainly has.

60
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:40.439
My seal of approval.

61
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:46.879
This one's just right.

62
00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:50.000
When you're in Los Angeles, stay at the dazzling New

63
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:54.759
Los Angeles Marriott Hotel, because no matter where you travel,

64
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:56.120
some Marriott.

65
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:58.240
Hotel always means a marvelous time.

66
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.199
Citing New Los Angeles Mariots is exactly what we're talking about,

67
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:09.519
with seven superb restaurants and lounges, a sensational swim.

68
00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:11.839
Up bar in our big beautiful pools, and.

69
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.480
The New Los Angeles Marriot is only minutes away from

70
00:05:14.600 --> 00:05:18.839
La International Airport, a great location, the center of everything

71
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:21.040
in southern California.

72
00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:25.519
It should be.

73
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:32.759
For reservations, ask.

74
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:54.800
The toll free information operator for Marriott's nationwide eight hundred numbers.

75
00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:00.560
You are a Skuyler Harris Sky to your friends, a

76
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:05.079
typical commuter, an account executive at Lorne Peabody and Davis,

77
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:10.279
married eighteen years, two children, Gary sixteen and Lisa twelve,

78
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:15.399
thirty five thousand a year, and an expense account you

79
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.360
live up to every penny. You are bored at home,

80
00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:23.839
driven at the office, given to fantasizing about women because

81
00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.839
you don't have the courage to take a mistress, but

82
00:06:27.480 --> 00:06:31.480
you are to find one, and such a one who

83
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.959
will quite literally be the death.

84
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:35.959
What have you got here, Jackie?

85
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.600
It's ada Sam cold turkey.

86
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.759
It's like the woman on the font said, where's the

87
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.360
other the dame?

88
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:52.439
Yeah, search me not an out of the bedroom, check

89
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:53.519
out the rest of the apartment.

90
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:59.959
And as a letter, a confession of Sultan on the best.

91
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:08.680
Yeah I seen, Dear Isabelle, I have just killed the

92
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:14.639
dra and before I killed myself. I want to explain

93
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:20.959
or trying to explain why it started ten days ago.

94
00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.439
It doesn't seem possible that in so short a time

95
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:29.800
my whole life was ripped to shreds. It was such

96
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:34.720
an ordinary day climbing aboard the old seventh thirty seven.

97
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:39.079
Years like, why make fourth this morning? Sky?

98
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:39.800
If it is known?

99
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:43.160
Oh no, thanks, Charlie, I'm bushed. I'm going to catch

100
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:43.959
a nap on the way in.

101
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:49.000
Hey, you do a little frazzledan okay, oh my health

102
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:50.120
though far as I know.

103
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:52.279
Oh, it's just the rat race.

104
00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:55.399
I guess just getting to me. Maybe it's a male

105
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:56.319
change of life. Sky.

106
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.240
No, no, no, no, not yet, please God, o Lord,

107
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:01.360
that I could do with a little change of life.

108
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:05.680
You know, well, leave you to get all of it.

109
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:08.040
At least you got the whole seat to yourself, cause

Just mate, mister Harris, who also these days?

00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:27.920
Veggie, I'll see.

117
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:40.919
At the end of the line. Okay, hmm, you don't

118
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:41.840
mind my journey?

119
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:42.039
What?

120
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:47.120
Oh? Oh, I beg your pardon. I'm sorry. I thought

121
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:50.320
I was alone in the seat. You don't mind mind

122
00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:53.519
what man in his right mind was.

123
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:57.200
I'm glad you find me, please.

124
00:08:58.720 --> 00:08:59.919
What who?

125
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:03.639
She looked so surprising I'm just what you've been waiting for.

126
00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:10.159
Come, I know, mister Arris, Wake up, mister Aris. We're

127
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:14.039
in the terminal. Huh but oh, Benjie, what is it?

128
00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.440
Everyone else, sir? End of the line. But I was

129
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:20.960
just wait a minute, wait a minute, I fell asleep.

130
00:09:21.799 --> 00:09:23.879
What happened to the girl that was sitting beside me?

131
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:26.600
What girl? Miss terres Well, Benji?

132
00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:30.480
She was sort of a tall, dark haired, deep violet

133
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:31.480
black eyes.

134
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:34.039
Like Elizabeth Taylor, long legs. Well. I mean, if you

135
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:35.399
saw you could never forget her.

136
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:38.919
Sorry, sir, I passed you a couple of times, and

137
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:41.159
the seat beside you was always empty.

138
00:09:41.720 --> 00:09:44.000
Oh then she? Come on, you're sure there wasn't a girl.

139
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:47.279
I didn't see her. Maybe you dreamed her?

140
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:53.480
Maybe? Well, there's no doubt about it. She was a

141
00:09:53.720 --> 00:10:02.879
perfect dream.

142
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:09.360
Yes, honest, Harry, for sure. Send him right in, Skuy,

143
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:10.840
Have I got news for you?

144
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:13.879
Hold on your half life. I just came from a

145
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.399

153
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:40.320
We're all bucket full, and if I blow it, I'll

154
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:41.799
be on the unemployment line.

155
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:44.600
No, no, not you Sky. That's why the Kingpin picture.

156
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.200
Now you better go right on us. He wants to

157
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:49.919
see you to kick a couple of ideas around. You

158
00:10:49.960 --> 00:10:52.960
know something, Harry, what you either cured my headache or

159
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:54.559
arranged I'll never have one again?

160
00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:56.039
What does that mean?

161
00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:57.120
The Bianchy account?

162
00:10:57.519 --> 00:10:59.080
If I don't cut it, I won't have to worry

163
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:00.240
about headaches anymore.

164
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:02.519
Old King pim Peabody will hand me my head in

165
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:12.000
the basket. Hey Mario, Yes, once again, not too lightly

166
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:14.879
from mister lips calling on me. Okay, right, you know

167
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:15.840
want to miss the trains?

168
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:16.039
Guy?

169
00:11:16.200 --> 00:11:16.360
Oh?

170
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.759
You know how often I want to? But not tonight.

171
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.799
What's the big deal tonight? You and isabelt socializing?

172
00:11:22.879 --> 00:11:22.919
No?

173
00:11:23.440 --> 00:11:27.039
No, but once it's the train I'm interested in. Oh

174
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:33.159
well that's a switch. Ye oh thanks. Well what's so

175
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:36.559
special about tonight's commute? I won't know until I prowl

176
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:39.840
all the trains. I'll be looking for something. Do me

177
00:11:39.879 --> 00:11:43.559
a favorite guy. Now, I'm only a poor working photostip

178
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:47.639
and you're the idea man. Look for an idea for Beyonci,

179
00:11:47.720 --> 00:11:51.960
and I already have it, genius. Why could you picture

180
00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:52.799
a girl like this?

181
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:58.080
Great violet Gentian eyes, framed with black lashes, natural at

182
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:02.559
least a half inch long, green white skin, full lips,

183
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:06.720
deep carmine to match the cheek blush, a massive blue

184
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:10.039
black hair to frame the face. A figure full but

185
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:14.440
gorgeously shaped, long tapering legs with ankles that.

186
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:16.000
Lead to high arched feet.

187
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.240
Picture her and semi de colotage, a head of cleavage

188
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:25.600
and the promise of all sex. And underneath that caption biancy.

189
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:30.120
If you have it, you don't need anything else, And

190
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:33.320
if you don't have it, it doesn't much matter what

191
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:34.080
else you have.

192
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:38.279
Now, all we got to do is find debate Harry, Harry,

193
00:12:38.320 --> 00:12:40.639
I already found her. The trick is just how I

194
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:43.840
find her again. Oh holy cow, I gotta make the

195
00:12:43.879 --> 00:12:48.000
first train. Put this tab on a national debt. Mario, Harry,

196
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:49.639
you could pop on the tip, will you? I got

197
00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:50.559
a date with an angel.

198
00:12:51.039 --> 00:13:09.840
I hope.

199
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:06.720
Anything I can help you with, mister Harris huh oh, no, no, Benji,

200
00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:08.080
I was just looking for someone.

201
00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:12.639
Yeah, I figured you've been from one end of the

202
00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:14.519
train to the other. Anyone I know?

203
00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:18.759
No, No, just just a girl, the one he asked

204
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:20.360
me about all the way in this morning.

205
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:23.960
Yes, yes, I've got to find her. Well, if she's

206
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:26.480
anything like you described, I.

207
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:29.240
Wouldn't blame you, you know, Benji, You better find me

208
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:30.039
a seat now.

209
00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:33.960
I'm still a little stoned. Well take my spot, mister Harris.

210
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:36.200
How put my work case up on the right.

211
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:40.759
Oh, thanks, stretch out, make yourself comfortable. I'll wake you

212
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:42.360
before you get to your stuff.

213
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:48.120
Oh your scholar, a gentleman, and a fine conductor.

214
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:57.320
Bench Wake up?

215
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:02.600
You dank flattering to have you always fallen asleep on me?

216
00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:08.720
Oh oh, you real this time?

217
00:14:08.759 --> 00:14:09.960
I've been waiting for you.

218
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:11.399
But I hunted the whole.

219
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.039
Train for you, did you?

220
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.360
You shouldn't have worried, Scott. I wasn't going to let

221
00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:17.080
you get away.

222
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:19.039
How do you know my name?

223
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:21.399
If I want information?

224
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:24.080
I just asked a question, Scott to Harris.

225
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:27.080
Well, how do I do with the same question?

226
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:29.480
The name is Deirdre.

227
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:36.159
Lovely, provoking, sensuous, a little incomplete, perhaps, No surname.

228
00:14:36.000 --> 00:14:36.840
You really care?

229
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:40.720
Well, it would be necessary eventually, just to satisfy the accountants,

230
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:43.399
you know, social Security and Uncle Sam.

231
00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:46.360
Dear me, does everyone have to know all about us?

232
00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:50.799
Well? Maybe I didn't make it clear. See I have

233
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:52.360
a proposition to make to you.

234
00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:55.360
Oh yeah, I thought perhaps you might.

235
00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:58.600
Oh no, no, no, don't misunderstand me. See I'm an

236
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:00.000
advertising executive.

237
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:01.960
I really don't know all about you, Schyler.

238
00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:07.399
Oh, I mean there's this account BYANKI Cosmetics. Yes, Deirdre,

239
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:10.120
I guess I may call you that.

240
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:12.879
I want you to.

241
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:17.519
Oh, I have no idea who you are or what

242
00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:17.919
you are?

243
00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:20.200
But would you be interested in you this guy?

244
00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:21.159
No?

245
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:24.440
Look, honestly, I mean this is strictly a business arrangement.

246
00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:27.240
I had a campaign in mind using you as the

247
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:28.000
central figure.

248
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.240
I don't know what you want to call it, scholar,

249
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:32.440
But as far as we're concerned, there needn't be any

250
00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:36.879
embarrassment or cover ups. Don't we both know what we

251
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:37.600
really want?

252
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:42.200
No? Not, come on, Deirdre, don't put me on. I'm not.

253
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:46.600
You're the one who tuned me on Scoler.

254
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:51.679
Now, look, Deirdre, and whatever your other name is, I

255
00:15:51.720 --> 00:15:54.759
am honest to God leveling about this big ad campaign

256
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:56.480
and how perfect you are for it, and how much

257
00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:58.240
money you could make if it all goes the way

258
00:15:58.279 --> 00:15:58.879
I think it could.

259
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:04.399
If you're scholars anthing. But if we have to talk

260
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:07.039
about something other than ourselves, would you mind getting me

261
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:07.480
a drink?

262
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:07.759
Oh?

263
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:12.120
Sure, sure right, I could use one myself. What'll it be?

264
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:16.759
It doesn't matter, you'll picky, Just hurry back.

265
00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:27.480
Oh, don't worry, Just don't vanish.

266
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:35.679
West Field, Next stop, Westfield? Hey, mister Harris living into Westfield?

267
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:39.480
Oh oh sure, oh sure yeah, I'm with you, Benji,

268
00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:40.440
I'm with your thanks.

269
00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:45.600
West Wield is the next stop, wes Benji, Yes, mister Hanson.

270
00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:47.039
What happened to the girl?

271
00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:51.200
We back at that again. I'll not come on, Benji

272
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:53.639
this time. It's no dream. I've been talking to her

273
00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:54.759
all the way up the line.

274
00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:57.399
What if you want me to say, mister Harrison, I

275
00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:00.360
want to know where the girl and mister Harris.

276
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:04.720
We've been riding this line a long time together. You

277
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:07.880
don't want to make them, see Benji. All I'm asking

278
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:09.240
is I get up the message.

279
00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:12.400
So what do you want me to say? If there

280
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:14.680
was this girl, maybe she got off of the last

281
00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:16.440
job or the one before.

282
00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:18.039
But she couldn't have.

283
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:23.200
Mister Harris, you've been cold turkey the last ten miles.

284
00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:26.720
Now, maybe this girl was here, I don't know, or

285
00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:30.319
maybe you just had one too many. Excuse me, we're

286
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:33.279
coming into the station. This is where you get on.

287
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:43.200
A man who doesn't realize how near the end of

288
00:17:43.240 --> 00:17:44.200
his emotional rope.

289
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:45.440
He is.

290
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:50.319
A girl named Deirdre who promises desire as sensually as

291
00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:55.039
a centerfold in today's magazines. A suburban family who awaits

292
00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:57.880
the return of the husband and father as.

293
00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:02.519
Routine, and the disaster we know is to happen.

294
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:05.960
We'll start to fit the pieces of the jigsaw together

295
00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:11.880
when I return shortly with that too.

296
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:15.720
Never see a beer drinker pour as beer real easy.

297
00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:18.720
Down the side of the glass. Maybe you do it yourself.

298
00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:22.880
If so, the Budweiser broom master thinks you're missing something,

299
00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:26.880
especially if you're a Budweiser drinker. You see, but is rude,

300
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:29.440
so it will kick up a healthy head of phone.

301
00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:34.599
Exclusive beechwood aging and natural carbonation make it a lively room.

302
00:18:35.480 --> 00:18:36.839
Well anyway, Pouring.

303
00:18:36.519 --> 00:18:39.720
Bud plunk down the middle of the glass helps bring

304
00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:43.039
out the best in the clean white Budweiser phone and

305
00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:46.759
real beer aroma. It also helps you get the full

306
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:51.759
benefit of a taste, smoothness, and drinkability you'll find and

307
00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:57.079
no other beer at any price. Remember brewing beer right

308
00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:01.680
does make a difference. Next time I pour that buttweiser

309
00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:05.160
right down the middle and see for yourself.

310
00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:07.759
An isaer Bush Saint louis.

311
00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:13.599
When occasional heartburn or acid indigestion is combined with a gassy,

312
00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:17.119
foolish feeling, that's what we call gacid indigestion.

313
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:20.119
Diegel is made for gacid indigestion.

314
00:19:20.640 --> 00:19:24.559
Because Diegel is different, it does more than plane ad acids.

315
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:26.599
Die Gel reduces.

316
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:29.960
Excess acid, while its patented cymethocone gets rid of trapped

317
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:35.039
gas fast. Use only as directed Diegel for gacid indigestion.

318
00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:38.480
No plane ad acid can do what diegel can.

319
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:43.960
All the leading laxati is only one.

320
00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:47.559
Fienamin is a gentle chewing of laxages, and.

321
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:50.480
For a very good reason it's pleasant to take.

322
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:54.599
Filament goes into your system gradually, little by little, and

323
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:58.160
after fienament has ented your system, it begins to work gently,

324
00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:01.599
predictably to relieve occasional irregularity.

325
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:05.079
Nam the gentleman chewing gum laxitude.

326
00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:08.119
Like all medicines, take only as directed.

327
00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:22.839
One of the minor said comedies of the world is

328
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:25.640
the faces of the wives as they meet their returning

329
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:29.920
commuter husbands. As the trains get later and later, the

330
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:34.200
faces get tenser and tenser, until finally, as the last

331
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:38.720
commuter train pulls in and Aaron Hubby pours himself off,

332
00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:42.279
the wife's eyes roll helplessly heavenwards.

333
00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:46.920
Hi is well, baby, how was your day?

334
00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:49.799
My day was miserable and most of my NIGHTE was worse.

335
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:53.400
Really, what do you mean knife? Just about half over?

336
00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:56.680
You know you're well over two hours late.

337
00:20:57.079 --> 00:20:58.400
This is the fourth.

338
00:20:58.119 --> 00:21:00.119
Train I've met.

339
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:02.319
The least you might have done, is Coolva, honey. Look,

340
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:04.160
I'm sorry. It was a big day at the office.

341
00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:06.200
I was swamped, and on top of that, don't give

342
00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:06.640
me that.

343
00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:08.720
Sky when you weren't on the early train.

344
00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:10.440
I called the office and they told me you left

345
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:12.920
in plenty of time to catch Well, that's right, that's right,

346
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:13.759
I know I did.

347
00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:16.799
But look, it's big news, hunt. I got handed the

348
00:21:16.839 --> 00:21:19.920
plumb of my career today, the Bianchi account.

349
00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:22.880
So is that any reason to go out and get

350
00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:24.680
stone or have a heart.

351
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:27.240
Isabelle, I handle this right, I'll end up a VP.

352
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:29.880
You handle it the way you started off, and you're

353
00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:32.079
gonna end up PNNG at home.

354
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:33.680
Well, no, what does that mean?

355
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:37.279
Persona non grossath somebody not wanting?

356
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:40.119
No, no, no, I know what persona non grata means? Well,

357
00:21:40.119 --> 00:21:41.759
what do you mean about me not being wanted?

358
00:21:42.119 --> 00:21:44.240
You've already got two out of three of us feeling

359
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:45.319
that way right at the moment.

360
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:47.599
Okay, you and who else?

361
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:50.640
Scary? Obviously you've forgotten.

362
00:21:50.680 --> 00:21:52.559
You promised to be home early while there was still

363
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:54.359
enough light to give them a driving lesson.

364
00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:57.039
Oh so that such a big deal. Everybody has to

365
00:21:57.079 --> 00:21:58.160
snap their corks.

366
00:21:58.200 --> 00:22:00.720
I mean it is when the drive lesson was to

367
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:02.920
be on the way to the basketball team's father and

368
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:05.559
some dinner, which you promised to attend with him.

369
00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:09.680
Oh damn, Isabelle, I forgot. You see, I was so

370
00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:11.880
up to my ears that you couldn't.

371
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:14.039
Have been so far up you couldn't put a phone

372
00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:14.759
to one of them.

373
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:15.640
Let us know.

374
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:17.839
I told you, isabel I forgot.

375
00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:20.440
Now you're not going to tell me that you also forgot.

376
00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:22.200
You have a wife who meets you at the station

377
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:24.480
six nights a week these days.

378
00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:26.960
Well, I'm sorry, but it's the truth. I mean, honest

379
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:28.880
to Peter, Isabel, I've had a lousy day.

380
00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:36.559
Oh all right, I'm sorry, Isabelle, so nice Sky.

381
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:38.559
About you?

382
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:47.319
I mean, it's just just what Sky.

383
00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:48.839
I've been worried about you lately.

384
00:22:50.119 --> 00:22:51.960
I guess I'm tense because you're tense.

385
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:54.079
So who's tense office?

386
00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:57.759
I'm not the only one who's noticed it. Even Liza's

387
00:22:57.799 --> 00:22:58.400
worried about you.

388
00:22:58.559 --> 00:23:00.480
Oh no, what have I done? Her?

389
00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:03.799
It isn't so much what you've done, that's what you haven't.

390
00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:07.720
You've been neglecting a daughter who needs your father very much.

391
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:10.960
Why she's twelve years old.

392
00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:14.319
You're a big man in her Isabel? Okay, can we

393
00:23:14.359 --> 00:23:16.400
knock it off for now? I just don't want to

394
00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:17.480
go to the house bickering.

395
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:21.720
Neither do I Sky, especially not in front of the kids.

396
00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:28.119
Okay, truths huh? And before we go in apology.

397
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:29.920
Accepted.

398
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:34.119
Oh, I guess I have been off my feed. Honey,

399
00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:34.880
it's over.

400
00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:35.240
Work, you know.

401
00:23:36.039 --> 00:23:38.319
Well, I hope that's all.

402
00:23:39.079 --> 00:23:39.599
What else?

403
00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:44.759
Well, it's silly of me, I suppose, But it isn't

404
00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:45.720
another woman, is it?

405
00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:46.079
Sky?

406
00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:46.519
Oh?

407
00:23:47.039 --> 00:23:50.799
Of course not Isabelle not not. Come on, let's get inside.

408
00:23:50.839 --> 00:23:58.960
I need a drink. Chrysler Model Agency. Yeah, this is

409
00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:01.960
Scyle of Harris here, but me through to Irene. Yeah,

410
00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:02.759
that's all right, that's all right.

411
00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:06.640
I'll hold Darris while I'm on one call ifw and

412
00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:07.519
hold them on too.

413
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:09.519
I want to talk to ed Rashby.

414
00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:15.640
Okay, kell O Irene, it's Sky Yeah, yeah, yeah, we're fine. Well,

415
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:18.799
I'm looking for a girl first named Deirdre. I don't

416
00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:21.519
know the second. She is a natural for the Bianchi accountant.

417
00:24:21.519 --> 00:24:22.519
I've just got to find her.

418
00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:31.000
Well, Harry, it's hard to believe anyone this beautiful can't

419
00:24:31.039 --> 00:24:35.480
be a model or in TV or the theater somewhere. No, no, no,

420
00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:37.359
I'm the only one that's seen her.

421
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:38.279
Yeah.

422
00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:40.359
Yeah, I've checked out all the talent books, and I

423
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:43.000
have every agency in the business pulling pictures.

424
00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:43.720
Of their clients.

425
00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:46.000
Well you're last on the line, Harry, only because I

426
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:47.160
couldn't get through to you sooner.

427
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:55.559
Are those the Horace Williams picks? Harry, Ah, just came

428
00:24:55.599 --> 00:24:58.880
by a special messenger. No like yet, No, not yet. Okay,

429
00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:02.160
let me see him.

430
00:25:02.759 --> 00:25:04.880
And I just look at all these things, and any

431
00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:07.119
one of them. I can make something out of this world.

432
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:10.559
Why this special one? Because she is out of this

433
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:14.160
world to start with, and I got to see now

434
00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:16.680
what she got to? This little number isn't well if

435
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:19.519
you have to see deer to understand, it's a name

436
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:19.799
for you.

437
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:22.480
That's right, it suits her. Keep your fingers crossed. I'm

438
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:24.759
almost through these. I suppose you don't find her.

439
00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:28.359
I've got to find her. Look, it's nearly a weak sky.

440
00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:33.000
The kingpin is getting restless. What I said, mister Peabody's

441
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:37.200
hollering for some layouts at least kind of campaign you're planning.

442
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:42.039
Oh, didn't find her. No, maybe she's not a model.

443
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:46.079
Maybe I've still got to find her. You don't even

444
00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:49.519
know she exists. Now, don't be silly, Harry.

445
00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:52.799
She couldn't just vanish into thin air sky.

446
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:57.039
What the sky? Look? I just don't want you to

447
00:25:57.039 --> 00:25:59.160
take this roun Now, come on, come on, Harry, get

448
00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:01.119
it out. Okay.

449
00:26:01.680 --> 00:26:04.640
Now, you've been running off the tracks quite a bit

450
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:05.480
for the last few months.

451
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:06.440
You don't look so hot.

452
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:10.119
You've been no ball of fire around the shop, and

453
00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:11.920
you've been hitting the sauce pretty heavy.

454
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:14.519
And now this screwball bit about this deer dred damn.

455
00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:17.640
I think you're you want to have a little skull

456
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:19.200
session with your local friendly shrink.

457
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:23.880
I got two words for you, Harry butt out. Okay,

458
00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:27.440
only only friendly advice. I don't need it one second thought,

459
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:30.000
I'll put out. I need a drink in some space

460
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:40.319
to think. Hey Mario, yes, Bill be another Manhattan.

461
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:41.519
Uh, come right up.

462
00:26:43.000 --> 00:26:45.960
We'll shoot deer in here today and some.

463
00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:48.759
Britty that the lad lunch just blew finally, and the

464
00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:50.759
other drinkers don't come in for the next hour or so.

465
00:26:50.960 --> 00:27:00.440
Oh, I see.

466
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:01.279
Sull you to be alone this guy off?

467
00:27:02.039 --> 00:27:05.319
Dear, trust mind if I sit on the stool next

468
00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:06.279
to you mine.

469
00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:09.720
Oh, I've been going out of my mind trying to

470
00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:11.799
find you. Where do you keep disappearing too?

471
00:27:12.079 --> 00:27:15.680
I'm a very private person's guy with me too is

472
00:27:15.720 --> 00:27:16.799
more than enough company.

473
00:27:17.599 --> 00:27:18.279
I hate crew.

474
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:21.279
Well this time I'm not letting you go. How about

475
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:21.680
a drink?

476
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:23.759
Well? Does it have to be here?

477
00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:25.440
No? No name the place?

478
00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:26.839
How about yours?

479
00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:30.279
Mine? Oh? You mean the office? No?

480
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:32.039
I don't like officers either.

481
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:34.920
I have a studio apartment.

482
00:27:35.119 --> 00:27:37.119
Well, and can't we go there?

483
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:42.079
Well? We sure can just let me settle my tab. Mario, Now,

484
00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:42.799
where did he go?

485
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:44.880
If you mean the bartender? I heard the phone ring.

486
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:47.079
I think he went to answer it around the corner there.

487
00:27:47.319 --> 00:27:49.240
Don't you move now, we'll go right away.

488
00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:51.920
How far are we going to?

489
00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:52.160
God?

490
00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:54.359
Oh?

491
00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:57.519
Oh, you mean the address eight twenty five East fiftieth.

492
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:00.240
I'll be right back. Hey, Mario, I was just having

493
00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:02.200
to get you. It's you off. Well, I can't talk

Well we didn't, honey, so let's not agonize over it.

668
00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:32.079
I don't know.

669
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:38.400
Everything seems so confused, right, because it's a sort of

670
00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:39.559
curse on us.

671
00:37:41.639 --> 00:37:47.079
You worry me most of all me you You're like

672
00:37:47.079 --> 00:37:47.880
a stranger.

673
00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:49.960
Sky.

674
00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:53.280
Why couldn't I reach you last night? What were you doing?

675
00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:55.440
I told you, Isabelle, I had work to do. I

676
00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:58.320
didn't want to be interrupted. I took the phone off

677
00:37:58.320 --> 00:37:59.000
the hook and then.

678
00:37:58.880 --> 00:38:01.280
I just forgot about it.

679
00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:03.519
Work seems to be the only thing that matters to

680
00:38:03.519 --> 00:38:07.679
you nowadays, Sky, you only had two hours sleep?

681
00:38:07.719 --> 00:38:10.000
Do you have him on, Isabelle? We haven't got time

682
00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:12.920
for messing around. You See, there's my cab.

683
00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:15.320
Couldn't you at least take a later train. Look, my

684
00:38:15.480 --> 00:38:18.039
job depends on that, and you won't be home tonight.

685
00:38:18.199 --> 00:38:21.079
I doubt it.

686
00:38:24.280 --> 00:38:27.239
And brother, I kid you not. You are in big

687
00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:31.199
trouble Sky. Now Peabody is really on the warpath. The

688
00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:33.039
only thing saving your neck for a day or so

689
00:38:33.239 --> 00:38:35.400
is the Bristol proctors and say, oh, Harry, please, when

690
00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:37.519
you lay off me, I've got everything under control.

691
00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:40.920
Oh boy, that is for a laughs. Oh now I

692
00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:41.800
get the whole picture.

693
00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:44.480
While you're off the rails on the sauce of running

694
00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:47.800
hot and cold flashes, Well, do you think some chick

695
00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:48.480
is worth.

696
00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:49.159
What you're heading for?

697
00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:49.679
Case?

698
00:38:49.679 --> 00:38:50.920
Come on, let me give you some advice.

699
00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:53.800
The only thing I want from you, Harry, is technical

700
00:38:53.840 --> 00:38:57.320
advice in your specialty. What I want to take some

701
00:38:57.360 --> 00:39:00.719
pictures of a girl bring into the studio. No, no, no, no,

702
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:02.639
that's just the trouble. She won't come here, and I'm

703
00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:04.760
only gambling that if she'll let anyone shoot, it will

704
00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:05.000
be me.

705
00:39:05.239 --> 00:39:08.039
Why do you know from cameras you're an idea man. No,

706
00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:09.119
do me a think.

707
00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:12.320
Let's set up the copy like you suggested, and let me.

708
00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:13.639
Pick the girl and listen.

709
00:39:13.719 --> 00:39:15.960
I've got the girl, if only you can get me

710
00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:18.719
a camera that's reasonably fool proof. I can get good

711
00:39:18.840 --> 00:39:21.000
enough stuff for the sample layouts. Then we can take

712
00:39:21.039 --> 00:39:23.639
it from there. Yeah, I was that sensation. Take my

713
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:27.159
word for it. I can give you a Mikron thirty

714
00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:31.440
five eighty five millimeter lens microwood stroke with high speed

715
00:39:31.519 --> 00:39:34.039
ectochrome film. That's okay, you name it. Just show me

716
00:39:34.079 --> 00:39:35.519
how to use it. Oh, you don't have to worry

717
00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:37.719
too much about the strobe. Even the film will take

718
00:39:37.800 --> 00:39:40.360
natural light and I'll push it and develop it. Okay,

719
00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:42.599
get me the camera. I'll be back with a picture

720
00:39:42.639 --> 00:39:43.159
in an hour.

721
00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:51.280
You're having fun guys.

722
00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:54.639
Oh theater. This isn't a game. This could mean our

723
00:39:54.679 --> 00:39:55.280
whole future.

724
00:39:56.039 --> 00:39:57.039
It could indeed.

725
00:39:57.159 --> 00:39:58.599
Yeah, just like that, Just like that.

726
00:39:58.960 --> 00:40:01.000
I'm glad you let me talk into taking the pictures.

727
00:40:01.000 --> 00:40:01.760
You won't be sorry.

728
00:40:02.199 --> 00:40:04.639
I'm just very much afraid you will.

729
00:40:04.719 --> 00:40:07.400
These guys.

730
00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:08.559
Got here.

731
00:40:08.760 --> 00:40:09.800
I forgot to ask.

732
00:40:09.679 --> 00:40:15.480
You cutting out your what I've got to finish these pictures, Petra,

733
00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:19.320
Why did you say i'd be sorry?

734
00:40:19.400 --> 00:40:21.440
I took them.

735
00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:26.880
Skuyl their baby. I really don't photograph very well. You'll see.

736
00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:33.559
Ah, you got the prince, Harry. That's great. I don't

737
00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:35.800
know how great you're gonna think it is. Huh, come on,

738
00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:38.440
what do you mean? I don't know what I mean.

739
00:40:38.519 --> 00:40:41.199
I just don't see how you could have gotten everything

740
00:40:41.239 --> 00:40:47.079
so gummed up? All right, just let me see. Everything's

741
00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:48.840
so out of focus. You can't tell a lamp from

742
00:40:48.840 --> 00:40:52.400
a couch. It's for the girl. Well you find her.

743
00:40:52.440 --> 00:40:53.159
I can't do.

744
00:40:54.679 --> 00:41:00.000
She was right, If that's the couch she should be wait,

745
00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:01.800
let me see him. This one.

746
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:08.679
No, this one is uh uh oh, Harry, how could

747
00:41:08.719 --> 00:41:10.920
I have faked out so badly?

748
00:41:11.400 --> 00:41:11.840
You got me.

749
00:41:13.519 --> 00:41:17.639
Sky level? Yeah, there's just some kind of stupid put on.

750
00:41:17.719 --> 00:41:19.159
I mean, what are you trying to pull up?

751
00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:19.679
Nothing?

752
00:41:19.719 --> 00:41:22.360
Harry, honest, I shot the film at all the openings,

753
00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:23.719
the shutter speeds, I mean.

754
00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:25.840
Everything that you laid out for me, it all came

755
00:41:25.880 --> 00:41:26.280
out like this.

756
00:41:26.519 --> 00:41:27.960
Yeah.

757
00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:32.719
Well, okay, Now we've got to figure maybe the film

758
00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:35.199
is bad or lens crystallized or something.

759
00:41:35.719 --> 00:41:38.199
Well, let's go back. I bring out the equipment and

760
00:41:38.400 --> 00:41:39.840
this time we bring.

761
00:41:39.679 --> 00:41:42.079
Home the bacon. No, no, no, Harry, she wouldn't let

762
00:41:42.159 --> 00:41:44.639
you shoot her. I can't explain. But all right, so

763
00:41:44.719 --> 00:41:45.239
forget her.

764
00:41:46.079 --> 00:41:50.920
I can't. I can't, Harry. I've got to take one

765
00:41:50.960 --> 00:41:53.760
more crack at it, Just just one more. Oh man,

766
00:41:53.840 --> 00:41:56.679
you're crazy. Would you help me? You won't let me

767
00:41:57.320 --> 00:41:59.880
some kind of camera that I just can't fail with.

768
00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:05.960
Okay, look, I'll give you an instant twenty seconds.

769
00:42:05.960 --> 00:42:07.920
You'll know if you goof you just keep adjusting it

770
00:42:07.960 --> 00:42:11.079
until it's right. I'll we'll get the camera. Oh you're

771
00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:15.679
an okay buddy. Thanks? Hello, Oh thank god? It sky Isabelle?

772
00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:17.039
What is it now?

773
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:19.360
I'm just at the end of my rope.

774
00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:21.599
I could swear somebody's got a hecks.

775
00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:22.920
What are you talking about?

776
00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:25.199
You've got to come home. Gary's back and come.

777
00:42:25.440 --> 00:42:27.199
What when did that happen?

778
00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:28.719
About ten this morning?

779
00:42:28.760 --> 00:42:29.800
I tried to reach.

780
00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:32.760
You, Isabelle. Listen, you've got to cope a little longer.

781
00:42:33.039 --> 00:42:35.719
Everything's falling apart from me here too. I can't get

782
00:42:35.719 --> 00:42:37.719
home till at the earliest later tonight.

783
00:42:38.280 --> 00:42:42.199
What's the matter. She won't let you go. Oh, oh,

784
00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:45.480
don't try to kid me. There has to be another woman.

785
00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:49.400
You couldn't be like this if there weren't. Okay, Sky,

786
00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:51.760
if this is the way you want it.

787
00:42:51.880 --> 00:42:54.519
You can just let us all go to hell, Isabelle.

788
00:42:54.559 --> 00:42:56.679
The only thing I wish you is a one way

789
00:42:56.840 --> 00:42:57.519
ticket there.

790
00:42:57.440 --> 00:43:05.679
Yourself, Isabelle. Wow, Okay, Skuy, here's your instant camera.

791
00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:07.840
Maybe this will get us all a clearer picture of

792
00:43:07.840 --> 00:43:08.480
where we're going.

793
00:43:20.599 --> 00:43:27.639
I feel just like a cat. I wouldn't stretch and

794
00:43:27.920 --> 00:43:29.280
curl and.

795
00:43:31.559 --> 00:43:33.519
Then let me take my pictures now.

796
00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:36.920
The moon and I said I would take care of

797
00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:40.559
tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow.

798
00:43:41.320 --> 00:43:47.719
Yes, that was a lot more than a promise. I

799
00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:48.559
don't know what you mean.

800
00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:51.400
Take your picture.

801
00:43:53.239 --> 00:43:58.639
And you know what is it? I've got this weird

802
00:43:58.679 --> 00:44:02.440
feeling that's taking me over. Oh, I'm scared.

803
00:44:03.039 --> 00:44:07.239
The wages of sin, take your picture.

804
00:44:09.119 --> 00:44:09.880
Shoot this guy?

805
00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:14.840
All right? All right? Not just like that, just just

806
00:44:14.920 --> 00:44:15.440
hold it.

807
00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:22.039
No, well, we wait for it to develop. Let me

808
00:44:22.159 --> 00:44:23.400
tell you what you'll see?

809
00:44:24.239 --> 00:44:25.760
Where on the picture.

810
00:44:26.880 --> 00:44:29.599
Everything sharply in focus for just a second, and then

811
00:44:30.679 --> 00:44:35.480
where I should be a blank, an empty hole in space?

812
00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:39.079
Look right?

813
00:44:41.840 --> 00:44:48.599
Oh, oh lord, no, as I really look. You've never

814
00:44:48.679 --> 00:44:49.920
seen a witch before?

815
00:44:50.079 --> 00:44:50.599
Have you?

816
00:44:51.719 --> 00:44:54.320
You think i'd be a successful model for your fiance? Here?

817
00:44:54.360 --> 00:44:57.039
Count who look at your picture again?

818
00:44:57.239 --> 00:45:02.639
Just what you said you? Whatever it was, it's calm,

819
00:45:03.559 --> 00:45:06.719
But I'm still here. This is me.

820
00:45:08.880 --> 00:45:10.719
You won't let me go in your sky?

821
00:45:11.920 --> 00:45:12.920
Why me, Deirdre?

822
00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:17.119
A personal whim? And you were so ripe for the tempting.

823
00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:20.119
You'd destroy me eventually.

824
00:45:19.719 --> 00:45:23.239
Of course, but I could put it off for a laugh.

825
00:45:23.719 --> 00:45:26.840
You don't have me that much in your spell? Why

826
00:45:27.000 --> 00:45:28.119
you no confident?

827
00:45:29.199 --> 00:45:29.280
What?

828
00:45:29.199 --> 00:45:34.159
What makes you so? What are you doing with a guy?

829
00:45:34.239 --> 00:45:37.440
Where you see? It happens to be a hobby of mine.

830
00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:40.000
I can put five out of six and a three

831
00:45:40.079 --> 00:45:42.119
quarter inch bullseye at thirty feet.

832
00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:44.320
It won't save you anymore.

833
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:46.800
I know, I know, but it can the rest of

834
00:45:46.840 --> 00:45:47.440
my family.

835
00:45:48.039 --> 00:45:56.639
You wouldn't tare all we thought you have a god.

836
00:45:57.079 --> 00:46:00.559
Guy, We're sure ye.

837
00:46:11.000 --> 00:46:16.360
I saw the bullet striking, I saw a fall. If

838
00:46:16.400 --> 00:46:21.440
she was mortal, she was dead just a second ago,

839
00:46:22.639 --> 00:46:27.280
three hours after I shot him. I rose and touched

840
00:46:27.280 --> 00:46:30.519
her cheek. It was cold as the grave.

841
00:46:32.119 --> 00:46:35.800
I go to meet her there now, our eternal damnation.

842
00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:42.239
I have no hope for myself, only for you, Isabelle,

843
00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:48.400
and for the children. Whatever harm there is left in her,

844
00:46:48.960 --> 00:46:52.480
I pray can reach only me alone.

845
00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:59.079
I hope I've brought you protection. Goodbye forever.

846
00:47:00.360 --> 00:47:05.039
Whatever life after death there is, I can never ever

847
00:47:05.239 --> 00:47:08.800
share it with any of you. And I sold my

848
00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:13.880
soul to the devil and the witch he sent.

849
00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:18.079
To find me. How do you like that for a confession, Jake?

850
00:47:18.639 --> 00:47:21.519
Whether am I going to say? You say, some guys

851
00:47:21.599 --> 00:47:25.519
working in advertising? Yeah, halfway round. But then us you

852
00:47:25.599 --> 00:47:26.320
got to be a little.

853
00:47:26.159 --> 00:47:27.840
Bit story to get into that kind of business in

854
00:47:27.880 --> 00:47:28.559
the first place.

855
00:47:28.840 --> 00:47:30.760
Big is my holiday?

856
00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:33.199
Yeah?

857
00:47:33.679 --> 00:47:39.880
OHIOO time this is to take the same. Thanks. Yeah,

858
00:47:40.360 --> 00:47:42.360
it's pretty much like they started. A wife called in

859
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:43.159
from Connecticut.

860
00:47:43.719 --> 00:47:44.239
Guy left.

861
00:47:44.239 --> 00:47:47.840
The confession you got to read won't help much. I

862
00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:53.159
mean it's far out huh on the subject. Yeah, there's

863
00:47:53.199 --> 00:47:55.719
not much doubt from pictures around the apartment. This is

864
00:47:55.760 --> 00:48:00.760
Skyla Harris, all right, sure, the O way through the head.

865
00:48:01.360 --> 00:48:07.400
We're just waiting for them. Now, what do you mean both?

866
00:48:08.760 --> 00:48:12.960
There's nobody else in the apartment but the guy the dame.

867
00:48:14.679 --> 00:48:17.199
There's not a sign of her.

868
00:48:17.960 --> 00:48:20.039
Or you don't get it when you read a confession.

869
00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:23.880
The way I figure it, she was one of them

870
00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:29.679
what do you call it, permaments of the imagination. I

871
00:48:29.679 --> 00:48:41.000
don't think she ever existed. Did the detective mean to

872
00:48:41.039 --> 00:48:45.800
say pigments of the imagination? Or was his choice of

873
00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:52.199
firmament perhaps nearer the truth was deerdra more finite than

874
00:48:52.199 --> 00:48:57.480
he believed. Why she's somebody of incarnate evil, clothed in beauty,

875
00:48:57.880 --> 00:49:01.840
who still stalks the day and the night looking for

876
00:49:01.960 --> 00:49:04.679
other prey. I'll be back shortly.

877
00:49:08.239 --> 00:49:15.320
John Junes statistic born with cold steep and Clifton Shirley

878
00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:21.000
Smith statistics born blind, John.

879
00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:24.239
Killing statistics, born with an open spine.

880
00:49:26.119 --> 00:49:31.159
Statistics children born with their success.

881
00:49:30.039 --> 00:49:33.239
Two hundred and fifty thousand of them every year, one

882
00:49:33.320 --> 00:49:35.000
out of every fourteen days.

883
00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:37.679
More statistics with the whole life ahead of them.

884
00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:41.719
Small statistics who cry and think and feel and once right,

885
00:49:41.800 --> 00:49:44.360
I should he like to may them good help at birth.

886
00:49:44.159 --> 00:49:46.599
The march of science leaves the fight for his life

887
00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:47.320
would help it.

888
00:49:47.440 --> 00:49:48.840
Birth could help it.

889
00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:50.639
Birth could help.

890
00:49:50.440 --> 00:49:55.320
It through medical service program, public education, and scientific deserves it.

891
00:49:55.360 --> 00:49:58.159
One day the ultimate goal will be reached, invention of

892
00:49:58.239 --> 00:49:59.840
all births by birthific.

893
00:50:01.960 --> 00:50:03.039
Will you give to the.

894
00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:17.440
March of time one parting word until we meet again?

895
00:50:18.599 --> 00:50:22.679
Be careful, commuters and all the other men with extra

896
00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:26.599
time that weighs heavy on your hands. Look with a

897
00:50:26.719 --> 00:50:30.719
jaundiced eye at that fantasy girl who may materialize beside

898
00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:33.880
you in the train or the bus, or on the

899
00:50:33.920 --> 00:50:35.920
stool next to you in your favorite bar.

900
00:50:36.840 --> 00:50:39.400
And before you succumb to temptation.

901
00:50:39.159 --> 00:50:43.519
Remember, At the best, she's apt to burn a hole

902
00:50:43.559 --> 00:50:48.039
in your pocket. At the worst, she may burn your

903
00:50:48.159 --> 00:50:55.199
soul forever. Our cast included William Redfield, Joan Loring, Suzanne Grossman,

904
00:50:55.679 --> 00:50:59.880
Ralph Bell, Dan Ackle, and Earl Hammond.

905
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:02.760
Higher production was under the direction of Hymon Brown.

906
00:51:03.719 --> 00:51:10.079
And now a preview of our next tale. We're going

907
00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:14.559
to be extra nice to ourn eh. After all, we're

908
00:51:14.559 --> 00:51:15.679
protecting an investment.

909
00:51:22.679 --> 00:51:26.840
We're back. I can't believe it. Look, I I've had

910
00:51:26.880 --> 00:51:27.760
just about enough of this.

911
00:51:28.760 --> 00:51:31.280
You people simply have to stop coming into my apartment.

912
00:51:31.360 --> 00:51:34.039
I'm going to tell Charles he has to do something.

913
00:51:34.639 --> 00:51:43.280
But this, Charles, will you get over here and get

914
00:51:43.280 --> 00:51:47.360
these people out? Oh that man who was here last

915
00:51:47.360 --> 00:51:51.199
week and this time he had a friend, a lady friends,

916
00:51:53.000 --> 00:51:54.960
he certainly is, and with a strange woman.

917
00:51:55.800 --> 00:51:59.559
Please do they're upsetting Julia terribly. I think she's afraid

918
00:51:59.559 --> 00:52:00.239
of them.

919
00:52:00.320 --> 00:52:05.239
Jonah well joy is chaut.

920
00:52:06.239 --> 00:52:10.519
Radio Mystery Theater was sponsored in part by Anheuser Busch Incorporated,

921
00:52:11.119 --> 00:52:20.199
brewers of Budweiser. Until next time pleasants dreams.

922
00:52:59.079 --> 00:53:03.880
Well, my dear, how about a fresh cup of tea,

923
00:53:04.760 --> 00:53:09.199
something to warm the mind and the soul while the

924
00:53:09.239 --> 00:53:15.039
rest of you is chilled by fear and a little

925
00:53:15.039 --> 00:53:20.440
bit of milk. Of course, I suppose fear is one

926
00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:26.519
of those things that I enjoy so very much, and

927
00:53:26.639 --> 00:53:33.039
I have trouble keeping myself to a moderate amount. My

928
00:53:33.239 --> 00:53:38.159
relationship with fear reminds me of how love came to

929
00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:40.920
Professor Guildea.

930
00:53:42.719 --> 00:53:47.400
Worried about income tax. Wonder if spring will ever come?

931
00:53:48.400 --> 00:53:49.800
Want to get away from it all?

932
00:53:50.639 --> 00:54:04.199
We offer you escape.

933
00:54:02.239 --> 00:54:08.159
You were alone in your book line study, listening to

934
00:54:08.199 --> 00:54:13.159
the idiot gibberings of a parrot, and beside you caressing

935
00:54:13.239 --> 00:54:17.639
you is an invisible thing, a loathsome thing from which

936
00:54:17.679 --> 00:54:26.440
you must escape.

937
00:54:30.599 --> 00:54:35.400
Escape, reduced and directed by William N. Robeson, and carefully

938
00:54:35.440 --> 00:54:37.800
contrived to free you from the four walls of today

939
00:54:37.960 --> 00:54:39.920
for a half hour of high adventure.

940
00:54:41.639 --> 00:54:48.599
A Tonight we escape to the West end of London,

941
00:54:49.199 --> 00:54:52.800
to a little house just off Hyde Park, where lived

942
00:54:52.800 --> 00:54:56.960
a man who didn't like people. Tonight we escape. In

943
00:54:57.000 --> 00:55:03.679
the remarkable tale of Robert Hitchins, Love came to Professor Guilia.

944
00:55:12.400 --> 00:55:14.760
It has been said that no knight ever passes over

945
00:55:14.840 --> 00:55:18.480
London Town that sees not some strange and curious event,

946
00:55:19.320 --> 00:55:22.360
some occurrence too incredible to bear repeating in the light

947
00:55:22.400 --> 00:55:22.800
of day.

948
00:55:24.039 --> 00:55:32.960
How horribly true are those words. It's been over a

949
00:55:33.039 --> 00:55:35.639
year now since the night I first met the amazing

950
00:55:35.719 --> 00:55:38.440
Professor Guildia. I had delivered a.

951
00:55:38.400 --> 00:55:41.199
Sermon at the Rectory of Saint Swithin in the East End,

952
00:55:41.239 --> 00:55:44.119
and was passing through the foyer and departure when I

953
00:55:44.199 --> 00:55:48.679
was accosted brusquely by an odd little man, remarkably sharp featured,

954
00:55:49.119 --> 00:55:51.400
his face adorned by a pointed black goateee.

955
00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:55.239
Please, I believe your father Murchison. Yes, that's right, but

956
00:55:55.320 --> 00:55:57.320
I don't think i've had the pleasure. Perhaps you've heard

957
00:55:57.320 --> 00:56:00.960
of me. My name's Guildia, Professor Guildia guilder Way. Yes,

958
00:56:01.039 --> 00:56:05.280
you're the famous psychologist. Yes, a psychologist, biologist, anthropologist, philosopher,

959
00:56:05.280 --> 00:56:08.239
and that takes care of that, Sir, I never attend

960
00:56:08.239 --> 00:56:12.000
religious services. It appears you've done so tonight. It came

961
00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:15.480
for one reason to hear you find out why anotherwise

962
00:56:15.559 --> 00:56:18.679
normal colleague of mine thinks you're the most convincing speaker

963
00:56:18.679 --> 00:56:21.360
he's ever listened to. And did you find out? No,

964
00:56:22.039 --> 00:56:26.199
your talk was intelligent, logical, therefore could never convince anybody

965
00:56:26.199 --> 00:56:30.480
of anything. Thank you. You're a direct man, Professor Gildier

966
00:56:30.480 --> 00:56:32.800
the time to be anything else. I'd like to have

967
00:56:32.840 --> 00:56:34.960
you dine with me, Father Murchison, say a week from

968
00:56:34.960 --> 00:56:37.599
tonight seven o'clock. I live at one hundred Hyde Park

969
00:56:37.599 --> 00:56:39.639
in the West End. Can't we make it two weeks.

970
00:56:40.119 --> 00:56:43.039
I'm preaching at Saint Savior's that night, just round the

971
00:56:43.039 --> 00:56:45.679
corner from the park, and I'm afraid it will have.

972
00:56:45.639 --> 00:56:48.159
To be nearer eight thirty than seven. The service isn't

973
00:56:48.159 --> 00:56:50.360
over so well, we can't even agree on a time

974
00:56:50.400 --> 00:56:53.519
for dinner. Very well, eight thirty two weeks. Good night, sir.

975
00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:03.199
Perhaps if I had known then what then? No matter?

976
00:57:04.480 --> 00:57:07.960
I kept the appointment. Of course. After an excellent dinner,

977
00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:12.239
we climbed the stairs to Gildia's study, a large, bookclned

978
00:57:12.320 --> 00:57:14.840
room running the width of the house, with windows at

979
00:57:14.840 --> 00:57:18.119
the end overlooking the park. In front of those windows

980
00:57:18.119 --> 00:57:21.840
stood the one incongress thing in the room, a cage

981
00:57:21.920 --> 00:57:29.719
holding a large gray parrot. In fact, as I recall.

982
00:57:29.480 --> 00:57:32.199
It was the parrot that was responsible for my first

983
00:57:32.280 --> 00:57:35.519
becoming aware of what exact opposites Guildia and I really were,

984
00:57:36.679 --> 00:57:39.360
the same parrot that was responsible for so many other

985
00:57:39.400 --> 00:57:41.159
things that happened later.

986
00:57:43.920 --> 00:57:47.360
Quiet, Napoleon, Quiet, one day, that infernal squawking of yours

987
00:57:47.400 --> 00:57:48.679
will drive me to wring your neck.

988
00:57:48.800 --> 00:57:52.280
Somehow, it surprises me, Guildia, I mean you're keeping a pet.

989
00:57:52.519 --> 00:57:55.599
I possess a parrot for the murchison, that's all made

990
00:57:55.599 --> 00:57:58.599
a study of the imitative faculties of animals some months ago,

991
00:57:58.920 --> 00:58:01.840
bought the bird, then never got rid of it, I see,

992
00:58:02.400 --> 00:58:05.400
started the bad habit of scratching the fool thing's head

993
00:58:05.519 --> 00:58:11.480
and loves it. You see, well, in five minutes you'll

994
00:58:11.480 --> 00:58:15.360
be screaming for more of it. Why would it surprise

995
00:58:15.440 --> 00:58:16.719
you so much if I kept a pet?

996
00:58:17.159 --> 00:58:20.360
Because I believe you're the most self sufficient man I

997
00:58:20.400 --> 00:58:20.760
ever met.

998
00:58:20.880 --> 00:58:24.920
H more than that. Actually, I detest affection, any display

999
00:58:24.960 --> 00:58:28.039
of sentimentality, but you do feel the need of close

1000
00:58:28.159 --> 00:58:33.400
human sympathy in your life? None whatsoever reasonable amount of companionship, naturally,

1001
00:58:33.440 --> 00:58:36.840
But that's all, mother Machison. I'm one person who does

1002
00:58:36.880 --> 00:58:40.239
not love his fellow men. Nonetheless, some of your discoveries

1003
00:58:40.280 --> 00:58:43.719
have been of great benefit to mankind. Oh, entirely accidental.

1004
00:58:43.840 --> 00:58:46.000
I thought you'd be liking your coffee now, sir. Oh, yes,

1005
00:58:46.039 --> 00:58:48.360
Pitting put it there on the table, please, thank you, sir.

1006
00:58:48.679 --> 00:58:51.679
Will there be anything else? No, that's all Pitting, Yes, sir,

1007
00:58:53.280 --> 00:58:56.880
an excellent servant there. I know nothing of Pitting's thoughts

1008
00:58:56.960 --> 00:58:58.400
or feelings, nor he of mine.

1009
00:58:58.559 --> 00:59:02.599
Perfect relationship, And if the crisis occurred, if you needed

1010
00:59:02.639 --> 00:59:05.480
to call on him as a friend, it would take

1011
00:59:05.519 --> 00:59:06.760
a considerable crisis.

1012
00:59:06.800 --> 00:59:09.480
But what about the parrot? Surely you must regard it

1013
00:59:09.519 --> 00:59:11.280
with some affection, otherwise.

1014
00:59:10.960 --> 00:59:11.719
You'd get rid of it.

1015
00:59:11.920 --> 00:59:16.760
Napoleon merely a specimen. The birds, as devoid of sentimentality

1016
00:59:16.800 --> 00:59:20.719
as I am, can only imitate whatever he season hears. Guildia,

1017
00:59:22.280 --> 00:59:25.760
have you ever been in love? Neither with anyone in particular,

1018
00:59:25.840 --> 00:59:29.079
nor with love itself? Being in love, as you put it,

1019
00:59:29.239 --> 00:59:31.800
or having someone in love with me, would be the

1020
00:59:31.800 --> 00:59:36.599
most monstrous and horrible situation I can possibly imagine. All

1021
00:59:36.639 --> 00:59:40.039
of a sudden, I feel a very great sense of

1022
00:59:40.079 --> 00:59:42.039
pity for whom for you.

1023
00:59:46.639 --> 00:59:50.480
Yet as different as we were, my life dedicated to

1024
00:59:50.559 --> 00:59:54.559
all humanity, Guildia's life stripped of its own humanity.

1025
00:59:55.480 --> 00:59:58.440
I called again at the house at Hyde Park many times,

1026
00:59:58.760 --> 01:00:03.079
and we became friends. We talked away many evening hours

1027
01:00:03.119 --> 01:00:06.280
and the months that followed, sitting by the book covered

1028
01:00:06.320 --> 01:00:09.760
table in the long study, the gray parrot chaffing away

1029
01:00:09.760 --> 01:00:14.239
in the background, with the lamplight barely reaching the farther corners.

1030
01:00:19.559 --> 01:00:21.800
It was on such a night, not long ago, that

1031
01:00:21.880 --> 01:00:26.599
the thing began. Guildia had seemed uncommonly nervous since dinner,

1032
01:00:27.000 --> 01:00:29.039
and had spent much of the time pacing in front

1033
01:00:29.039 --> 01:00:31.519
of the windows that faced the park. Confound it much

1034
01:00:31.559 --> 01:00:36.239
as night. I can't seem to relax tonight, I ever

1035
01:00:36.320 --> 01:00:41.679
feel a completely unaccountable presentiment, a since that something remarkable

1036
01:00:41.719 --> 01:00:46.159
was about to happen, and usually it never did. Turned

1037
01:00:46.159 --> 01:00:47.840
out to be the effect of too much coffee. No,

1038
01:00:48.000 --> 01:00:51.039
it's not that coffee doesn't bother me. Nothing does. But

1039
01:00:51.079 --> 01:00:53.880
then suppose you stop pacing the floor and sit down.

1040
01:00:53.960 --> 01:00:58.679
You're wearing me out. Have you noticed how well Napoleon's

1041
01:00:58.719 --> 01:01:01.840
learned to imitate your voice? And it's almost insulting at times.

1042
01:01:03.039 --> 01:01:05.800
The worst thing is feeling such a strong compulsion to

1043
01:01:05.800 --> 01:01:09.199
do something which I know to bit ridiculous. Exactly what

1044
01:01:09.320 --> 01:01:12.480
is it you're talking about? Guilia fullish even to mention it,

1045
01:01:13.039 --> 01:01:15.199
But I wonder if you pardon me for a few minutes.

1046
01:01:15.639 --> 01:01:17.719
Of course, I heard yourself to more coffee. Have you

1047
01:01:17.760 --> 01:01:22.119
read Bye Bye? I walked over and stood stroking the

1048
01:01:22.119 --> 01:01:24.159
feathers of the parrot through the bars of his cage.

1049
01:01:24.960 --> 01:01:27.280
I had grown rather fond of the ugly bird, but

1050
01:01:27.800 --> 01:01:30.599
it always startled me to hear him mimic some phrase

1051
01:01:30.639 --> 01:01:37.440
of mine or Gillion's. Napoleon, you're a true creature of

1052
01:01:37.480 --> 01:01:41.199
the devil. I happened to glance out the window toward

1053
01:01:41.239 --> 01:01:44.400
the park across the street, Ah the arc lamp at

1054
01:01:44.440 --> 01:01:47.760
the corner threw a dim gleam across a bench set

1055
01:01:47.800 --> 01:01:51.360
just inside the paling, and I was surprised to see

1056
01:01:51.360 --> 01:01:55.880
Professor Gildia moving about the bench, peering under it, behind it,

1057
01:01:56.239 --> 01:01:59.599
staring into the shadows nearby. He kept this up for

1058
01:01:59.639 --> 01:02:02.880
some minute, then crossed the street and came back toward

1059
01:02:02.920 --> 01:02:08.639
the house. In a moment I heard him ascending the stairs.

1060
01:02:08.960 --> 01:02:10.639
Has anyone entered this room since I went out?

1061
01:02:10.719 --> 01:02:10.920
Why?

1062
01:02:11.119 --> 01:02:13.920
No, you mean Pitting, of course, But he hasn't been in.

1063
01:02:14.119 --> 01:02:18.880
Oh strange, very strange. I saw you across the street

1064
01:02:18.880 --> 01:02:21.920
in the park. What were you doing? I thought I

1065
01:02:21.960 --> 01:02:23.639
saw something? Wondered what it was?

1066
01:02:23.679 --> 01:02:24.039
That's all?

1067
01:02:24.320 --> 01:02:25.039
Did you find out?

1068
01:02:25.440 --> 01:02:25.559
Now?

1069
01:02:26.599 --> 01:02:27.159
What's wrong with that?

1070
01:02:27.280 --> 01:02:27.639
Parody?

1071
01:02:27.920 --> 01:02:29.639
Never made a sound like that before? What do you

1072
01:02:29.719 --> 01:02:32.119
mean he seems all right? Napoleon stopped that?

1073
01:02:33.199 --> 01:02:33.760
What was it?

1074
01:02:33.840 --> 01:02:36.960
You thought you saw a thing? As you said it?

1075
01:02:37.159 --> 01:02:39.639
Most likely it was the coffee, only I'm very much

1076
01:02:39.639 --> 01:02:46.119
afraid that. No, in this day and age, it's it's impossible.

1077
01:02:57.880 --> 01:03:00.039
It was nearly a week later that I received a

1078
01:03:00.159 --> 01:03:03.760
phone call in my quarters at the rectory, Father Murchison.

1079
01:03:03.840 --> 01:03:07.360
Here this is Pitting, Sir, Professor Guildier's man. Oh, yes, pittying,

1080
01:03:07.440 --> 01:03:08.760
how are you very well?

1081
01:03:08.800 --> 01:03:09.400
Thank you, sir.

1082
01:03:09.920 --> 01:03:12.039
The Master would greatly appreciate your calling at the.

1083
01:03:11.960 --> 01:03:15.119
House receivening if it's convenient, sir, Oh, anything wrong?

1084
01:03:15.960 --> 01:03:17.440
I couldn't say, sir.

1085
01:03:17.480 --> 01:03:20.480
But why didn't he phone himself? He isn't ill I

1086
01:03:20.519 --> 01:03:20.920
think not.

1087
01:03:21.719 --> 01:03:23.199
He suggested eight o'clock, Sir?

1088
01:03:23.400 --> 01:03:25.079
May I tell him you come? Yes?

1089
01:03:25.880 --> 01:03:28.880
Yes, by all means, tell him I'll be there at eight.

1090
01:03:30.239 --> 01:03:40.880
Ah, there's no.

1091
01:03:40.800 --> 01:03:43.480
Use beating about the bush. Whither mechros And I am nervous,

1092
01:03:43.519 --> 01:03:45.760
of course, I am clainly reason for it. And you're

1093
01:03:45.880 --> 01:03:48.800
working too hard now I'm working too hard. The other

1094
01:03:48.880 --> 01:03:51.480
night it was coffee. As a matter of fact, it's

1095
01:03:51.599 --> 01:03:56.679
neither one. Quiet Napoleon. Maybe you'd better tell me what

1096
01:03:56.840 --> 01:04:02.639
is the matter? Guildian. Do do you feel the presence

1097
01:04:02.639 --> 01:04:04.840
in this room of anyone beside the two of us?

1098
01:04:05.320 --> 01:04:09.239
Well as Napoleon? Of course? Now now I don't mean

1099
01:04:09.280 --> 01:04:13.480
the parrot. He senses it too, though, Since is what

1100
01:04:13.840 --> 01:04:15.880
when you were here last week I left the house

1101
01:04:15.920 --> 01:04:18.800
for a few minutes. You remember, I'd been watching someone

1102
01:04:18.840 --> 01:04:21.400
sitting on that bench across in the park, A shadowy

1103
01:04:21.440 --> 01:04:23.880
sort of figure. I had to find out.

1104
01:04:23.760 --> 01:04:24.280
What it was.

1105
01:04:24.400 --> 01:04:26.639
But you found nothing. You told me when you came back.

1106
01:04:26.679 --> 01:04:29.400
That's right. But I had left the front door open,

1107
01:04:29.880 --> 01:04:32.400
and when I came back in, I felt suddenly that

1108
01:04:32.519 --> 01:04:36.360
someone or something had entered ahead of me. Oh now, really, Gila,

1109
01:04:36.480 --> 01:04:39.320
I knew also that they'd found their way to this room.

1110
01:04:39.360 --> 01:04:41.920
But I was here all the time. No one came in.

1111
01:04:42.079 --> 01:04:45.480
Father Murchison. Whoever or whatever came into the house that

1112
01:04:45.639 --> 01:04:48.519
night came into this room is still here right now,

1113
01:04:48.840 --> 01:04:54.719
you Guilia a scientist. Yes, ridiculous, isn't it? But it's true.

1114
01:04:55.519 --> 01:04:58.960
I'm only able to feel its presence. Napoleon can see it.

1115
01:04:59.039 --> 01:05:02.360
Look at him now, wouldn't you say he was watching

1116
01:05:02.440 --> 01:05:04.639
something over there in that far corner of the room.

1117
01:05:04.800 --> 01:05:06.880
No, I'd say he was just being as foolish as

1118
01:05:06.880 --> 01:05:07.639
a parrot usually.

1119
01:05:07.760 --> 01:05:09.480
Is you skeptic about this?

1120
01:05:09.639 --> 01:05:12.440
Yes, you've been working too hard. You need a vacation.

1121
01:05:12.840 --> 01:05:15.840
I haven't told you the worst part of it. Would

1122
01:05:15.840 --> 01:05:21.079
you say that I'm an attractive man frankly? No, oh,

1123
01:05:21.119 --> 01:05:23.599
I suppose to a certain type of society woman.

1124
01:05:23.679 --> 01:05:26.360
No, no, no, no, that's not what I'm talking about. Well, then,

1125
01:05:26.400 --> 01:05:29.119
what are you talking about. I don't know whether this

1126
01:05:29.239 --> 01:05:34.480
intruder is a woman, man, child, animal, but whatever it is,

1127
01:05:34.559 --> 01:05:38.840
it holds a vast affection for me. What you imagine

1128
01:05:38.840 --> 01:05:44.480
anything so utterly monstrous? Horrible, Logison, The thing is in

1129
01:05:44.519 --> 01:05:57.840
love with me. Ami Ah. I could not would not

1130
01:05:58.039 --> 01:06:02.639
accept Guilty's belief, And yet the alternative was even more frightful,

1131
01:06:03.719 --> 01:06:05.719
For I could only decide that the long hours of

1132
01:06:05.760 --> 01:06:07.719
study and lecturing had affected.

1133
01:06:07.280 --> 01:06:10.119
His mind and brought him, in fact, to the verge

1134
01:06:10.119 --> 01:06:11.239
of insanity.

1135
01:06:11.880 --> 01:06:14.119
I persuaded him finally to get away for a while,

1136
01:06:14.199 --> 01:06:16.960
to leave the house and forget his professional problems, take

1137
01:06:16.960 --> 01:06:21.440
a short trip. I accompanied him to Victoria's station, saw

1138
01:06:21.519 --> 01:06:24.199
him off on the boat train, and then caught up

1139
01:06:24.199 --> 01:06:26.719
in my duties. I had little time to consider the

1140
01:06:26.719 --> 01:06:31.960
strange affair for nearly ten days.

1141
01:06:34.280 --> 01:06:37.559
Father Murchison, here, I hope I haven't disturbed John, Professor Gilia.

1142
01:06:37.719 --> 01:06:38.800
Then you're back in London.

1143
01:06:38.960 --> 01:06:40.639
Yes, I've been back for three days.

1144
01:06:40.760 --> 01:06:41.639
You should have called me.

1145
01:06:41.960 --> 01:06:43.360
I was the trip quite pleasant.

1146
01:06:43.599 --> 01:06:45.079
I took passage on a Channel coaster.

1147
01:06:45.599 --> 01:06:49.800
See, I was wonderful. You weren't troubled on the trip? Oh, no,

1148
01:06:49.920 --> 01:06:54.679
not at all. It waited here for me. What will

1149
01:06:54.719 --> 01:06:57.440
you come over here to night? You mean now, yes,

1150
01:06:57.480 --> 01:06:59.840
if you could you see I can prove it to

1151
01:06:59.880 --> 01:07:06.119
you now very well, I'll come right over. I stood

1152
01:07:06.159 --> 01:07:08.079
there with the phone and shivered.

1153
01:07:09.199 --> 01:07:13.079
The thing had become so real to him now that

1154
01:07:13.159 --> 01:07:15.679
he felt he could go away and leave it, then

1155
01:07:15.840 --> 01:07:23.800
come back and find it waiting for him.

1156
01:07:24.039 --> 01:07:26.159
That's why I didn't call you when I first came back.

1157
01:07:26.199 --> 01:07:28.559
I wanted to be sure. So I've waited three days,

1158
01:07:28.559 --> 01:07:30.480
and every day has been worse than the one before.

1159
01:07:30.599 --> 01:07:32.559
In what way? What do you mean? I mean the

1160
01:07:32.920 --> 01:07:35.800
thing was waiting for me here glad I was back

1161
01:07:36.000 --> 01:07:40.679
farmed or over me came more insistently obnoxious all the time.

1162
01:07:40.880 --> 01:07:44.360
You mean you've seen this thing? Oh no, I haven't

1163
01:07:44.400 --> 01:07:46.440
seen it, haven't heard it, but I know it's here.

1164
01:07:47.079 --> 01:07:50.119
I can feel it, sense it. Try to put it

1165
01:07:50.119 --> 01:07:52.960
in words and it becomes absurd. If you'd like some

1166
01:07:53.119 --> 01:07:56.760
unsolicited advice, call in a doctor, have him look you over.

1167
01:07:56.960 --> 01:07:59.519
And what doctor in London knows any more about the

1168
01:07:59.559 --> 01:08:01.840
human mind that I do, I know, But when it's

1169
01:08:01.840 --> 01:08:04.119
your own Now, I know you're thinking of hysteria, have

1170
01:08:04.239 --> 01:08:06.639
you said nation? I know all the symptoms. It's not

1171
01:08:06.719 --> 01:08:11.599
that simple anywhere to prove it to you. You've noticed

1172
01:08:11.639 --> 01:08:14.000
I've thrown a cover over Napoleon's cage. Yes, I've been

1173
01:08:14.000 --> 01:08:17.000
wondering about. It's part of my proof. He's been here,

1174
01:08:17.039 --> 01:08:18.640
you know, all the time I was gone here in

1175
01:08:18.680 --> 01:08:20.680
this room. Yes, but I still I want you to

1176
01:08:20.720 --> 01:08:23.680
get behind those curtains with me. Then I'll reach out

1177
01:08:23.720 --> 01:08:26.159
and pull the cloth off his cage. I don't want

1178
01:08:26.199 --> 01:08:28.760
him to see us. I don't know what you're hoping

1179
01:08:28.760 --> 01:08:38.119
to prove, but all right, come on ready, I'll uncover him.

1180
01:08:38.279 --> 01:08:41.720
Ah.

1181
01:08:42.319 --> 01:08:45.600
We crouched there behind the curtains, watching the parrot. He

1182
01:08:45.680 --> 01:08:49.439
protested a while, being so rudely disturbed by some unseen agency,

1183
01:08:50.119 --> 01:08:53.479
then climbed about the cage with claws and beak, pected

1184
01:08:53.560 --> 01:09:00.560
crumbs and appeared entirely normal. After timing. Going to fix

1185
01:09:00.600 --> 01:09:04.119
his attention on the spot across the room, there was

1186
01:09:04.159 --> 01:09:07.000
nothing there. Watch him look at him now. In the

1187
01:09:07.039 --> 01:09:10.800
parrot's mind, at least someone or some thing was approaching

1188
01:09:10.840 --> 01:09:19.199
the cage, and yet the room was empty. Whatever it

1189
01:09:19.359 --> 01:09:23.199
was apparently had reached the cage now, and Napoleon welcomed

1190
01:09:23.279 --> 01:09:27.600
with friendly chocolate. The hair rose on the back of

1191
01:09:27.600 --> 01:09:31.239
my neck. But the bird was cooling and gurgling. As

1192
01:09:31.239 --> 01:09:33.600
he did. An eye or Guilia scratched the feathers on

1193
01:09:33.640 --> 01:09:37.680
his head. I could almost fancy that I saw long, white,

1194
01:09:37.720 --> 01:09:40.680
ghostly fingers reaching through the bars of the cage. Watch

1195
01:09:40.720 --> 01:09:43.520
him and listen to him. He's talking to the thing,

1196
01:09:43.880 --> 01:09:55.720
imitating it. See what you think. The bird was moving

1197
01:09:55.720 --> 01:09:58.600
about in the cage, now, nodding his head in a

1198
01:09:58.720 --> 01:10:03.680
very peculiar manner, uttering the most extraordinary sounds. I began

1199
01:10:03.760 --> 01:10:05.039
to realize he.

1200
01:10:05.319 --> 01:10:08.920
Was imitating the thing he saw standing by his cage,

1201
01:10:09.760 --> 01:10:11.880
and then the full horror of it came over me.

1202
01:10:12.720 --> 01:10:13.600
I tried to hide the.

1203
01:10:13.600 --> 01:10:17.039
Thought from Guildia, but he'd already seen it in my eye.

1204
01:10:17.159 --> 01:10:19.359
So you see it too. That's all I wanted to

1205
01:10:19.399 --> 01:10:23.680
know that I wasn't imagining it. No point in hiding

1206
01:10:23.720 --> 01:10:26.680
there any longer. That was my proof. But perhaps someone

1207
01:10:26.840 --> 01:10:29.159
was here while you were gone. I have questioned Pitting

1208
01:10:29.199 --> 01:10:31.199
and the cook. No one has been here. But it

1209
01:10:31.279 --> 01:10:33.000
can't be. Such a thing can't be.

1210
01:10:34.199 --> 01:10:35.399
But where where is it? Now?

1211
01:10:35.399 --> 01:10:35.960
Can you tell me.

1212
01:10:35.960 --> 01:10:36.399
Where it is?

1213
01:10:36.439 --> 01:10:39.359
Not exactly somewhere here in the room, not too far away,

1214
01:10:39.760 --> 01:10:42.439
I can feel that. Napoleon, of course can see it.

1215
01:10:42.880 --> 01:10:46.079
There is some rational explanation. There has to be, oh

1216
01:10:46.119 --> 01:10:48.520
whistling in the dark. Father, you recognize the same thing

1217
01:10:48.640 --> 01:10:51.319
I did. I know what you mean. Of course. Well,

1218
01:10:51.319 --> 01:10:53.359
I can't stand much more of it. If it were

1219
01:10:53.359 --> 01:10:55.920
only something I could fight, strike out head. I'm not

1220
01:10:55.960 --> 01:10:58.880
a coward, but I can't see it, hear it. I

1221
01:10:58.880 --> 01:11:01.720
can only feel it try to touch me somehow, trying

1222
01:11:01.720 --> 01:11:04.319
to get close to me, drooling with desire and affection,

1223
01:11:04.560 --> 01:11:07.159
fondness for me, and I can't even away. It gets

1224
01:11:07.199 --> 01:11:09.079
closer all the time Earlier. You've got to get hold

1225
01:11:09.079 --> 01:11:11.319
of yourself, all of myself. You saw the way that

1226
01:11:11.399 --> 01:11:16.479
parrotivitated this thing, those mannerisms, that gibberish. You know what

1227
01:11:16.600 --> 01:11:18.520
it means as well as I do. I saw it,

1228
01:11:18.560 --> 01:11:21.560
but it can't possibly. Don't you feel how hideous.

1229
01:11:21.199 --> 01:11:21.720
It is for me?

1230
01:11:22.399 --> 01:11:25.760
I can't stop it. The thing makes love to me,

1231
01:11:25.920 --> 01:11:29.399
caresses me in whatever it is. It has no mind.

1232
01:11:30.000 --> 01:11:41.520
You saw that that thing is a slabbering idiot.

1233
01:11:41.840 --> 01:11:46.119
I walked home at a later on, crying desperately to

1234
01:11:46.159 --> 01:11:49.199
think of some reasonable answer to the whole strange affair.

1235
01:11:50.239 --> 01:11:52.960
I could not accept Guildea's explanation of the actions of

1236
01:11:53.000 --> 01:11:57.079
the parrot, though the bird had produced an extraordinary illusion

1237
01:11:57.119 --> 01:12:01.159
of an invisible presence in that room. In a day

1238
01:12:01.199 --> 01:12:03.960
gone by, perhaps I might have been called in to

1239
01:12:04.079 --> 01:12:05.359
deal with an evil spirit.

1240
01:12:06.640 --> 01:12:07.680
I thought of retribution.

1241
01:12:09.000 --> 01:12:12.680
Gildia had always borne an unnatural distaste for human love?

1242
01:12:13.720 --> 01:12:17.399
Was he now being forced to endure the unnatural love

1243
01:12:17.439 --> 01:12:19.439
of a monstrous being as punishment?

1244
01:12:20.960 --> 01:12:24.239
I cast such thoughts away from me. Yet I could

1245
01:12:24.279 --> 01:12:28.479
not quite accept the only other reasonable solution, and my

1246
01:12:28.640 --> 01:12:33.720
friend was insane. It was very late when I fell asleep.

1247
01:12:40.000 --> 01:12:43.039
The following evening, I preached at Warwick Chapel and returned

1248
01:12:43.079 --> 01:12:44.920
to my quarters about nine.

1249
01:12:45.319 --> 01:12:46.680
I found the Pitting had.

1250
01:12:46.439 --> 01:12:49.039
Called a short time before, and left a rather puzzling

1251
01:12:49.039 --> 01:12:52.359
message implored that you come to Hyde Park at once.

1252
01:12:53.119 --> 01:12:55.960
Otherwise I cannot answer for the consequences.

1253
01:13:03.079 --> 01:13:04.840
But what is it you're trying to say?

1254
01:13:04.880 --> 01:13:05.239
Pitting?

1255
01:13:05.279 --> 01:13:07.640
He's not himself? In what way is he not himself?

1256
01:13:07.800 --> 01:13:10.520
I can only suggest, sir, that you talk to him.

1257
01:13:10.920 --> 01:13:15.399
Here we are, yes, can I'll leave you now, sir,

1258
01:13:16.239 --> 01:13:19.520
Oh Magison, come in. I tell you what did the

1259
01:13:19.600 --> 01:13:21.680
name of Heaven is wrong? Pitting said that you'd been

1260
01:13:22.319 --> 01:13:24.239
in human machine. What happened?

1261
01:13:24.239 --> 01:13:24.800
What did he do?

1262
01:13:24.960 --> 01:13:25.199
Think?

1263
01:13:25.840 --> 01:13:26.079
Just it?

1264
01:13:26.319 --> 01:13:26.640
Nothing?

1265
01:13:26.680 --> 01:13:29.239
But I don't know. You warn me about it once

1266
01:13:29.319 --> 01:13:31.239
said i'd meet a crisis, need him as a friend,

1267
01:13:31.319 --> 01:13:34.600
and he wouldn't be there. Well, it happened here.

1268
01:13:34.920 --> 01:13:37.079
I am going to call a doctor. I've never seen

1269
01:13:37.119 --> 01:13:38.800
you in a state lown now. Now I don't need

1270
01:13:38.840 --> 01:13:41.560
a doctor. I'm all right now for a little while. Anyway,

1271
01:13:42.560 --> 01:13:43.560
at least I think I am.

1272
01:13:43.640 --> 01:13:47.399
Then what was it? What happened? That thing touched me?

1273
01:13:47.960 --> 01:13:51.720
Really touched me? I mean for the first time. It's

1274
01:13:51.760 --> 01:13:54.880
only been trying to before. The only way I can

1275
01:13:55.000 --> 01:13:58.840
put it, it rubbed itself against my soul.

1276
01:14:00.399 --> 01:14:01.119
It was horrible.

1277
01:14:01.199 --> 01:14:03.479
Now, Girlia, you don't tell me to get hold of myself.

1278
01:14:03.520 --> 01:14:09.520
I know what I'm saying. I'm sorry. But if you

1279
01:14:09.720 --> 01:14:11.640
felt it for yourself, you.

1280
01:14:11.399 --> 01:14:12.239
Know what I mean.

1281
01:14:12.880 --> 01:14:17.760
It was disgusting, filthy. If it lasted one more minute,

1282
01:14:17.800 --> 01:14:20.079
I know I should have gone screaming.

1283
01:14:19.680 --> 01:14:21.560
Mad, But you don't.

1284
01:14:22.199 --> 01:14:24.640
You don't feel it now, No, no, no, not now.

1285
01:14:25.600 --> 01:14:28.640
I lost my head, I guess I struck out with

1286
01:14:28.680 --> 01:14:31.399
my fists. I tore at myself, screamed for help. Pitting

1287
01:14:31.520 --> 01:14:34.960
came and thought I was drunk, but I could feel

1288
01:14:34.960 --> 01:14:39.720
it touching me, sickening, soft and temper inside of me.

1289
01:14:39.920 --> 01:14:42.119
But it left you. Then you forced it away. Yes,

1290
01:14:42.560 --> 01:14:46.439
but it's still in this room somewhere, but it hasn't

1291
01:14:46.479 --> 01:14:50.600
tried to touch me again. Well that sounds it, Yulieah,

1292
01:14:50.680 --> 01:14:53.720
you're leaving here tonight. It didn't follow follow you when

1293
01:14:53.760 --> 01:14:56.239
you took that trip before. It stayed here. That's one

1294
01:14:56.279 --> 01:14:58.920
way you can be freeing. Then you believe the thing too.

1295
01:14:59.159 --> 01:15:01.479
Believe it's real. It's real for you, and that's enough.

1296
01:15:02.640 --> 01:15:04.159
If I remember it, you were giving a lecture at

1297
01:15:04.199 --> 01:15:07.359
Oxford the last of the week. You're going on up there. Now,

1298
01:15:07.439 --> 01:15:09.600
I'll help you pack. I could do that. I could

1299
01:15:09.600 --> 01:15:11.359
stay at the groven at tonight and take a train

1300
01:15:11.399 --> 01:15:13.479
in the morning. It's right near the station, and it's

1301
01:15:13.520 --> 01:15:22.600
all with me. Wait, wait, look at Napoleon's it's standing

1302
01:15:22.720 --> 01:15:26.479
there by his canes. He's talking to it, imitating it.

1303
01:15:27.199 --> 01:15:29.520
Can you imagine what the thing must do? The blind

1304
01:15:30.239 --> 01:15:32.279
but he helped you start packing, but I didn't tell

1305
01:15:32.319 --> 01:15:33.279
you what it rarely did.

1306
01:15:33.359 --> 01:15:33.960
This evening.

1307
01:15:34.640 --> 01:15:37.199
What came the closest to driving me insane doesn't matter.

1308
01:15:37.640 --> 01:15:42.800
The thing kissed me Murchison the darts from the outside

1309
01:15:43.079 --> 01:15:48.319
what I could feel it warm and wet, kissing my

1310
01:15:48.560 --> 01:15:51.680
lips from the inside.

1311
01:15:58.680 --> 01:16:01.760
Gilias stayed at the hotel that night, caught the train

1312
01:16:01.800 --> 01:16:05.119
out to Oxford the next morning. Four days later, I

1313
01:16:05.159 --> 01:16:08.760
received a wire from him. I am still feeling a bit shaky,

1314
01:16:08.840 --> 01:16:13.399
but everything else is all right. No sign of any visitor.

1315
01:16:14.279 --> 01:16:16.199
Why don't you try to come up for the lecture

1316
01:16:16.279 --> 01:16:19.600
Friday night and please get rid of Napoleon for me,

1317
01:16:20.560 --> 01:16:25.199
signed Guildea. On sudden impulse, I decided to accept his invitation.

1318
01:16:33.439 --> 01:16:35.560
My train was late, and I arrived at Oxford with

1319
01:16:35.640 --> 01:16:39.239
only time enough to go directly to the seminar. I

1320
01:16:39.319 --> 01:16:42.439
slid into my seat just as Guilia was introduced.

1321
01:16:41.960 --> 01:16:45.399
And began his talk. He was pale and perhaps a.

1322
01:16:45.319 --> 01:16:49.439
Bit drawn, but seemed otherwise composed and in control of himself.

1323
01:16:50.800 --> 01:16:54.399
As I sat there, my mind wandered away from his talk,

1324
01:16:55.119 --> 01:16:59.199
seeking some solution for the horrible problem, which I regarded

1325
01:16:59.199 --> 01:17:02.920
as being as much my own as Guildia's. I decided

1326
01:17:02.920 --> 01:17:04.760
I would try to persuade him to sell the house

1327
01:17:04.800 --> 01:17:08.199
in Hyde Park Place, since his strange vexation seemed to

1328
01:17:08.199 --> 01:17:11.760
be bound up with it, and try to find lodgings elsewhere.

1329
01:17:13.479 --> 01:17:16.760
Some ten minutes passed when suddenly I noticed Gildia was

1330
01:17:16.760 --> 01:17:17.800
becoming very nervous.

1331
01:17:18.439 --> 01:17:22.199
He faltered in his talking, He seemed to be confused.

1332
01:17:23.640 --> 01:17:27.119
He stood there on the platform deathly pagel, his hands

1333
01:17:27.159 --> 01:17:29.800
out as though pushing something away from him.

1334
01:17:30.680 --> 01:17:31.880
I knew what was wrong.

1335
01:17:35.199 --> 01:17:36.800
Pardon me, pardon me, please?

1336
01:17:36.840 --> 01:17:38.079
Could I get through? Pardon me?

1337
01:17:38.680 --> 01:17:39.279
Let me get to.

1338
01:17:39.319 --> 01:17:44.520
Him, please, I'm his friend, Gilia, Gilia, can you hear me,

1339
01:17:44.840 --> 01:17:49.640
Father Murchison, Yes, everything's all right.

1340
01:17:50.199 --> 01:17:56.800
It came here, found me out, It rubbed up against

1341
01:17:56.880 --> 01:18:00.000
me on the platform.

1342
01:18:00.119 --> 01:18:01.039
It's no use.

1343
01:18:02.239 --> 01:18:03.640
Take me back to London.

1344
01:18:13.439 --> 01:18:17.159
We arrived back in London Lake the next afternoon. Gildia

1345
01:18:17.319 --> 01:18:21.680
was a broken old man. He shivered continually trembled, as

1346
01:18:21.720 --> 01:18:24.920
though shaken by a chill. He claimed to sense the

1347
01:18:24.960 --> 01:18:28.880
awful presence of that thing always near by us, accompanying us,

1348
01:18:29.520 --> 01:18:31.399
and he was constantly.

1349
01:18:30.840 --> 01:18:33.079
Terror stricken lest it might try to touch him again.

1350
01:18:34.439 --> 01:18:36.600
I stayed with him in the house in Hyde Park,

1351
01:18:37.319 --> 01:18:39.239
and as night drew on, we sat in the long

1352
01:18:39.319 --> 01:18:44.560
book filled study on the second floor, pitting brought copy

1353
01:18:44.640 --> 01:18:48.439
to us, and then Withdrew we found little to talk about,

1354
01:18:49.159 --> 01:18:51.760
and the silence of the room seemed doubly oppressive without

1355
01:18:51.800 --> 01:18:53.960
the familiar chatter of the parrot in the background. What

1356
01:18:54.000 --> 01:18:56.279
did you do with him, Butterison A Napoleon? I mean,

1357
01:18:56.479 --> 01:18:58.800
I boarded him with a pet shop in Shaftspray Avenue.

1358
01:18:58.840 --> 01:19:01.439
I thought you might want him again after you'd reconsider it.

1359
01:19:01.520 --> 01:19:07.039
Now no, I won't want him back. You still can

1360
01:19:07.119 --> 01:19:11.840
feel its presence, can't you. No, Gelia, I'm afraid I can't.

1361
01:19:12.399 --> 01:19:15.119
I wish to have an eye, couldn't. It's been here

1362
01:19:15.159 --> 01:19:19.239
with us now you know now, Please, it doesn't matter.

1363
01:19:19.960 --> 01:19:22.359
It's no use. I can't fight it any longer. There's

1364
01:19:22.359 --> 01:19:24.199
no way to fight it. Perhaps that may be the

1365
01:19:24.239 --> 01:19:27.359
answer to stop fighting it. You said yourself that you

1366
01:19:27.359 --> 01:19:29.960
felt it was fond of you meant you no harm.

1367
01:19:30.159 --> 01:19:33.399
Then why not stop fighting? Try to return It's fun

1368
01:19:33.439 --> 01:19:35.840
because it's love. If you will, you don't know what

1369
01:19:35.880 --> 01:19:39.760
you're asking. Even the thought of it sickens me. Fondness

1370
01:19:40.119 --> 01:19:43.359
love for that thing. Perhaps it may be the only

1371
01:19:43.439 --> 01:19:47.239
way out. Then there's no way out, I tell you, Murchison,

1372
01:19:47.600 --> 01:19:52.880
I have only one feeling for that creature. And that's hatred, hatred, disgust,

1373
01:19:53.039 --> 01:19:57.199
and please try to be calm. Wait, wait, what is it?

1374
01:19:58.119 --> 01:20:03.319
Perhaps that's it? Listen, whatever you are, a beast or devil,

1375
01:20:03.359 --> 01:20:03.800
I hate you.

1376
01:20:03.880 --> 01:20:04.199
Do here.

1377
01:20:04.399 --> 01:20:09.960
I hate you Chester. That's doing it. It's recoiling withdrawing.

1378
01:20:10.000 --> 01:20:12.359
I can feel it, Gildia. Please, I hate you. I

1379
01:20:12.439 --> 01:20:15.840
hate you, Cheston. He wants to leave. It's beginning to

1380
01:20:15.880 --> 01:20:18.479
hate me too, but it wants to leave. Now open

1381
01:20:18.520 --> 01:20:20.840
the door. Go downstairs and open the front door. Open

1382
01:20:20.920 --> 01:20:22.920
the front door and let it out, cried Gildia. If

1383
01:20:22.920 --> 01:20:24.840
you'll feel better about it. It wants to take me along.

1384
01:20:24.880 --> 01:20:26.560
But I know how to fight it. Now go matches

1385
01:20:26.640 --> 01:20:29.399
and hurry. I hate you, I hate you, I hate you.

1386
01:20:29.640 --> 01:20:32.159
I ran down the stairs and threw open the front door.

1387
01:20:33.000 --> 01:20:36.680
I stood there, breathing in the night. Air was clear

1388
01:20:36.720 --> 01:20:40.600
and cold, and the stars hung overhead. I looked across

1389
01:20:40.640 --> 01:20:43.079
to the park and saw the glow from the street

1390
01:20:43.159 --> 01:20:46.600
lamp falling on the empty bench directly opposite, And at.

1391
01:20:46.479 --> 01:20:49.239
That moment came a sound of FROs my blood.

1392
01:20:49.279 --> 01:20:58.319
With horror, I stood there, paralyzed, unable to move. Seconds past,

1393
01:20:58.399 --> 01:20:59.319
perhaps minutes.

1394
01:20:59.359 --> 01:21:01.359
I don't know it. Know how long I stood there.

1395
01:21:02.199 --> 01:21:05.479
I glanced across at the empty bench for one moment,

1396
01:21:06.039 --> 01:21:09.159
but I saw a shadow sitting on it. A vague

1397
01:21:09.439 --> 01:21:13.920
shadow is guilty as height. One night weeks before and

1398
01:21:13.960 --> 01:21:16.840
then the bench was empty, and I heard Pitting running

1399
01:21:16.880 --> 01:21:17.680
down the stairs.

1400
01:21:18.720 --> 01:21:22.399
Come qutely, Professor Gilia. It was his heart.

1401
01:21:22.479 --> 01:21:27.439
I think, yes, yes, I believe it was his heart.

1402
01:21:27.479 --> 01:21:29.079
But his father.

1403
01:21:28.920 --> 01:21:36.560
Murchison, he's lying up there, Sir, He's dead, dead, dead Pitting.

1404
01:21:38.640 --> 01:21:43.640
I hope, so, I sincerely hope so.

1405
01:21:55.079 --> 01:21:57.640
Escape is produced and directed by William N.

1406
01:21:57.720 --> 01:21:58.079
Robson.

1407
01:21:58.159 --> 01:22:01.640
Then Tonight brought You How Love to Professor Guildia by

1408
01:22:01.960 --> 01:22:05.399
Robert Hitchens, adapted for radio by Less Crutchfield, with Louis

1409
01:22:05.439 --> 01:22:08.840
van Rutin as Professor Guildia, Hardy Bear as Father Murchison,

1410
01:22:09.199 --> 01:22:12.479
Harry bartellis Pitting, and Paul Freese as the Parrot. Music

1411
01:22:12.520 --> 01:22:18.359
is conceived and conducted by ci Fure. This is CBS,

1412
01:22:18.439 --> 01:22:35.239
the Columbia Broadcasting System.

1413
01:22:35.479 --> 01:22:40.880
My dear, it is getting late. I see your eyes

1414
01:22:41.039 --> 01:22:46.000
beginning to droop just a little. Oh. I don't take

1415
01:22:46.039 --> 01:22:51.439
it personally. I understand the time that a person must

1416
01:22:52.000 --> 01:22:59.560
function and operate. It can be brutal early mornings, late nights,

1417
01:23:01.039 --> 01:23:07.039
never quite recovering the rest you lose to the ether.

1418
01:23:08.439 --> 01:23:12.640
But while some things are good for the body, others

1419
01:23:13.520 --> 01:23:18.520
are good for the soul. And besides, is there anything

1420
01:23:18.720 --> 01:23:25.279
in this world more RESTful than kicking back and relaxing

1421
01:23:26.199 --> 01:23:27.760
in bang Quo's chair.

1422
01:23:53.399 --> 01:23:56.560
Our stars this evening, our two distinguished gentlemen from the

1423
01:23:56.560 --> 01:24:01.840
Hollywood sound stages, mister Donald Crisp and John Loder. Mister

1424
01:24:01.920 --> 01:24:04.800
Crisp and mister Loder are here to enact for us

1425
01:24:04.800 --> 01:24:08.439
a strange and startling drama in which they, in the

1426
01:24:08.479 --> 01:24:12.319
interests of justice, made use of an unusual method to

1427
01:24:12.359 --> 01:24:15.840
bring a confession of guilt from a criminal. The story

1428
01:24:15.920 --> 01:24:20.199
is by Rupert Croft Cook and is called Banquoll's Chair.

1429
01:24:21.359 --> 01:24:24.760
And so with Banquell's Chair and the performances of Donald

1430
01:24:24.760 --> 01:24:28.880
Crisp as Sir William Brent and John Loder as Arthur Grange,

1431
01:24:29.000 --> 01:24:32.039
Sir William's friend who relates the story to us, we

1432
01:24:32.079 --> 01:24:34.640
again hope to keep you in us.

1433
01:24:34.640 --> 01:24:50.560
Friends, I would like you to look at this photograph.

1434
01:24:51.159 --> 01:24:54.239
It's the picture of Sir William Brent, ex head of

1435
01:24:54.239 --> 01:24:57.840
the English Criminal Investigation. I knew Sir William Well, and

1436
01:24:57.840 --> 01:25:00.840
he always terrified me. Not in the sense that he

1437
01:25:00.920 --> 01:25:03.560
was brutal or evil. He was none of that. But

1438
01:25:03.640 --> 01:25:07.960
look at that cold face, particularly his eyes. When he

1439
01:25:08.000 --> 01:25:10.880
looked at you, you flushed with guilt. Every misdeed you

1440
01:25:10.920 --> 01:25:14.039
ever committed in your life floated over your face. A

1441
01:25:14.079 --> 01:25:15.800
glance from him made you feel as if he were

1442
01:25:15.840 --> 01:25:19.399
stark naked. He saw you with all your defenses down.

1443
01:25:20.760 --> 01:25:24.760
Sir William was the scourge of criminals. Coraally, unemotional, utterly,

1444
01:25:24.840 --> 01:25:29.520
without fear or passion. He tracked them down mercilessly and

1445
01:25:29.640 --> 01:25:32.680
never lost a case. There was no feeling in him,

1446
01:25:33.039 --> 01:25:39.279
no pity, no hate, nothing but terrifying, cold intelligence. And

1447
01:25:39.359 --> 01:25:42.600
he was deadly to everyone he went after. I'm going

1448
01:25:42.640 --> 01:25:45.199
to tell you about his last case, a case that,

1449
01:25:45.640 --> 01:25:49.359
while even recalling it sends real shudders through me. I

1450
01:25:49.479 --> 01:25:52.439
swear it's true. I saw it with my own eyes.

1451
01:25:53.199 --> 01:25:56.399
I wish I never had. I witnessed it in all

1452
01:25:56.439 --> 01:26:00.640
its dreadful details. One night at the club, about eleven o'clock,

1453
01:26:00.680 --> 01:26:06.399
a boy came up to me. I ripped open the

1454
01:26:06.479 --> 01:26:10.039
envelope and read the telegram, Dear Arthur, will you come

1455
01:26:10.079 --> 01:26:12.840
and dine with me at Turret House, Sydenham on Thursday.

1456
01:26:13.600 --> 01:26:15.600
There will be several guests and I think I can

1457
01:26:15.640 --> 01:26:19.680
promise you an unforgettable evening. It was signed by Sir

1458
01:26:19.680 --> 01:26:23.000
William Brent. I was annoyed. I don't like to receive

1459
01:26:23.039 --> 01:26:25.640
telegrams so late in the evening, and so William could

1460
01:26:25.640 --> 01:26:28.520
easily have phoned unless he didn't want to go into

1461
01:26:28.600 --> 01:26:40.720
details with me. I decided to phone him.

1462
01:26:40.880 --> 01:26:41.159
Hello.

1463
01:26:41.720 --> 01:26:43.760
Hello, this is Arthur Grange calling.

1464
01:26:43.960 --> 01:26:45.960
Yes, I know. Did you receive my telegram?

1465
01:26:46.079 --> 01:26:47.880
Yes, Sir William? What's all the mystery about it?

1466
01:26:47.920 --> 01:26:50.159
And I'll tell you about it on Thursday? Are you coming?

1467
01:26:50.439 --> 01:26:51.920
Yes, I'll be there very good.

1468
01:26:52.279 --> 01:26:53.720
I particularly want you to be there.

1469
01:26:54.199 --> 01:26:56.640
You sound so mysterious. I'm thinking of coming armed or

1470
01:26:56.680 --> 01:26:58.039
bringing several bodyguards.

1471
01:26:58.159 --> 01:27:00.920
Now it won't be necessary to bring anybody gods, but

1472
01:27:01.079 --> 01:27:03.159
you'd better come armed, well armed.

1473
01:27:03.840 --> 01:27:05.600
Yes, bring a revolver. Good night.

1474
01:27:15.239 --> 01:27:17.920
Early Thursday evening, I made my way to Turret House

1475
01:27:19.000 --> 01:27:22.920
a wind in November rain slashed at the streets. Tarret

1476
01:27:22.920 --> 01:27:27.800
House is a huge red blick unpresently somber mansion, an

1477
01:27:27.920 --> 01:27:32.359
ugly product of Queen Victoria's time there. It squatted back

1478
01:27:32.359 --> 01:27:35.800
of the road, almost hidden to view by several dripping

1479
01:27:35.840 --> 01:27:41.319
pine trees. The neighborhood had known better days. I walked

1480
01:27:41.359 --> 01:27:44.520
up along the unkept path until I reached the great

1481
01:27:44.520 --> 01:27:49.600
oaken door. I let the knocker fall once or twice,

1482
01:27:50.159 --> 01:27:54.920
and the door opened. Good evening, mister Grange. I was

1483
01:27:55.039 --> 01:27:59.960
waiting for you. Hello Lene. Nasty night, sir, isn't it?

1484
01:28:00.960 --> 01:28:03.119
There's not much warmer in here. Here's a fire in

1485
01:28:03.199 --> 01:28:06.359
the dining room, sir. Whatever made Sir William move into

1486
01:28:06.399 --> 01:28:09.640
this drafted dungeon. Oh we haven't moved in, sir. It's

1487
01:28:09.640 --> 01:28:13.439
only temperate, Sir William just drinking. We still live in

1488
01:28:13.479 --> 01:28:15.680
the West End. I see I have any of the

1489
01:28:15.720 --> 01:28:19.279
other guests arrived? Yes, mister Greenge. Miss Stone is here,

1490
01:28:19.399 --> 01:28:23.680
Miss Stone? Yes, the mystery writer. This way, mister Grange.

1491
01:28:24.039 --> 01:28:26.760
I'll show you to the dining Sir William, move me

1492
01:28:26.880 --> 01:28:33.640
down sure. Oh hello, I'm ROBERTA. Stone. How'd you do?

1493
01:28:34.239 --> 01:28:36.560
I'm Arthur Grange, an old friend of Sir Williams. Yes,

1494
01:28:36.680 --> 01:28:38.880
I know. I've read some of your mystery stories and

1495
01:28:38.960 --> 01:28:42.680
enjoyed them very much. Thank you, mister Grange. Just what

1496
01:28:42.920 --> 01:28:44.159
is going on here tonight?

1497
01:28:44.359 --> 01:28:48.000
I don't know Sir William sounded awfully mysterious, But then

1498
01:28:48.199 --> 01:28:49.880
I've known Sir William for a long time.

1499
01:28:50.239 --> 01:28:53.520
He never lets anyone down. If anything, he understands. I

1500
01:28:53.600 --> 01:28:55.479
know he told me to command.

1501
01:28:55.840 --> 01:28:59.319
He told me the same thing. Here's my gun. I

1502
01:28:59.399 --> 01:29:01.359
must admit I've never fired it in my life.

1503
01:29:01.640 --> 01:29:05.159
This house is certainly a proper background for anything unpleasant.

1504
01:29:05.399 --> 01:29:09.279
It's already been the scene of a crime. Oh what crime? Murder?

1505
01:29:09.760 --> 01:29:13.439
A particularly unpleasant one. Really, I must say the murderer

1506
01:29:13.479 --> 01:29:16.279
couldn't have picked a more ideal spot. Isn't it a fact?

1507
01:29:16.680 --> 01:29:20.560
You know? I once wrote a story, Arthur.

1508
01:29:21.039 --> 01:29:21.760
I'm glad you're.

1509
01:29:21.640 --> 01:29:22.159
Both on time.

1510
01:29:23.439 --> 01:29:26.600
A nice apartment you have here, a sort of mausoleum

1511
01:29:26.680 --> 01:29:27.439
and dining room.

1512
01:29:27.479 --> 01:29:31.520
Command. You're a bit afraid, aren't you? Of course not?

1513
01:29:31.720 --> 01:29:35.239
Why should I be? Your eyes give you away? What's

1514
01:29:35.239 --> 01:29:37.600
all this about? You invite us to this god forsaken

1515
01:29:37.720 --> 01:29:39.199
dungeon and tell us to come armed.

1516
01:29:39.600 --> 01:29:42.119
Don't be upset, Arthur, I'm sure you'll come out of

1517
01:29:42.119 --> 01:29:42.640
this all right.

1518
01:29:42.960 --> 01:29:45.520
You mean we may be in some danger. Naturally, I

1519
01:29:45.560 --> 01:29:48.239
wouldn't tell you to come armed otherwise, Who is this

1520
01:29:48.319 --> 01:29:50.359
other guest? Sir William there.

1521
01:29:50.239 --> 01:29:53.399
Are two more guests, but first we'll have a drink

1522
01:29:53.439 --> 01:29:54.800
and then i'll tell you both.

1523
01:29:54.600 --> 01:29:55.239
All about it.

1524
01:29:55.960 --> 01:29:59.279
Lane, Yes, sir William, will you serve the drinks? Yes?

1525
01:30:00.600 --> 01:30:02.279
Now I'll tell you what's going to happen to night.

1526
01:30:02.920 --> 01:30:06.560
This house, turret house, was the scene of the Sydnham murder,

1527
01:30:06.960 --> 01:30:09.880
a very famous case. Yes, I know about him, that's right.

1528
01:30:10.319 --> 01:30:12.680
No offense, old man. But wasn't it the only case

1529
01:30:12.720 --> 01:30:14.239
you never saw? You're wrong, Arthur.

1530
01:30:14.880 --> 01:30:17.439
I saw the Sydnem case, but I couldn't bring the

1531
01:30:17.439 --> 01:30:19.920
criminal to justice because of insufficient evidence.

1532
01:30:20.079 --> 01:30:22.079
You mean you knew who the medal was.

1533
01:30:22.159 --> 01:30:24.439
Oh, yes, of course it was the nephew. The police

1534
01:30:24.479 --> 01:30:26.359
knew it too. And why in the world didn't you

1535
01:30:26.359 --> 01:30:28.720
bring the case to a conclusion. Because the nephew had

1536
01:30:28.720 --> 01:30:32.439
an absolute and unimpeachable alibi. To have arrested him would

1537
01:30:32.439 --> 01:30:34.920
have meant waste of time and money and release in

1538
01:30:34.920 --> 01:30:38.720
the end. Besides, according to English law, a man discharge

1539
01:30:38.800 --> 01:30:41.439
can never be arrested again on the same murder charge.

1540
01:30:41.479 --> 01:30:44.640
Well, this is all very fascinating. Has it anything to

1541
01:30:44.680 --> 01:30:45.840
do without being here to night?

1542
01:30:46.279 --> 01:30:50.000
Yes, Roberta, it has. In a short while, the nephew

1543
01:30:50.359 --> 01:30:54.880
John Bedford will be here to dine with us. And oh, yes,

1544
01:30:55.680 --> 01:31:00.359
the victim, Miss Ferguson. What well, wait, I mean Miss

1545
01:31:00.399 --> 01:31:04.199
Ferguson wasn't actually murdered. Miss Ferguson is quite dead, has

1546
01:31:04.279 --> 01:31:05.560
been dead these two years.

1547
01:31:05.760 --> 01:31:08.239
You mean you're going to have the body Miss Ferguson

1548
01:31:08.279 --> 01:31:11.479
here at dinner. Well this is a little too much.

1549
01:31:11.840 --> 01:31:13.880
If you'll excuse me, I'll die elsewhere tonight.

1550
01:31:14.000 --> 01:31:14.560
Not so faster.

1551
01:31:14.640 --> 01:31:17.560
Better, Perhaps you'd better wait until you hear the rest

1552
01:31:17.600 --> 01:31:20.279
of the story. This promises to be a very gay

1553
01:31:20.359 --> 01:31:24.520
dinner now, as you both know, I've never lost a

1554
01:31:24.560 --> 01:31:29.479
case except the Sidden murder, which will be finished tonight. Now,

1555
01:31:29.520 --> 01:31:32.199
I'm an egotist. I don't believe there's a criminal in

1556
01:31:32.239 --> 01:31:34.880
all England that can out with me. As a matter

1557
01:31:34.880 --> 01:31:38.479
of fact, I've resigned from the criminal investigation for the

1558
01:31:38.479 --> 01:31:41.960
sole reason of trapping mister John Bedford. It's hard to

1559
01:31:41.960 --> 01:31:45.119
believe when I told you I was an egotist. No

1560
01:31:45.279 --> 01:31:48.079
criminal has beaten me yet, and no one ever will.

1561
01:31:48.399 --> 01:31:50.600
You have an awful lot of patience.

1562
01:31:50.680 --> 01:31:54.520
Infinite patience. I devoted two years to this case, and

1563
01:31:54.600 --> 01:31:57.359
now that my moment of triumph has arrived. I wanted

1564
01:31:57.359 --> 01:32:00.840
to have some witnesses, the writer will record the event,

1565
01:32:01.560 --> 01:32:04.560
and an admirer who will applaud with all.

1566
01:32:04.560 --> 01:32:08.399
The trickiness of my scheme. Well, if it's as gruesome

1567
01:32:08.439 --> 01:32:10.319
as I think it is, I won't be here to

1568
01:32:10.319 --> 01:32:11.640
watch it. Oh, yes you will.

1569
01:32:12.520 --> 01:32:17.000
Horror has a way of fascinating and hypnotizing people. Besides Arthur,

1570
01:32:17.239 --> 01:32:18.359
you'd be ashamed to run out.

1571
01:32:18.479 --> 01:32:22.520
Now I'll stay, of course, so will I. Good. Now,

1572
01:32:22.520 --> 01:32:25.600
before I tell you my scheme, let me first acquaint

1573
01:32:25.680 --> 01:32:32.880
you with the details of the murder exactly two years ago.

1574
01:32:32.960 --> 01:32:55.640
Tonight, old missus Ferguson.

1575
01:32:45.920 --> 01:32:48.000
Why don't you answer when I call? I was in

1576
01:32:48.039 --> 01:32:50.560
the kitchen nights after ten o'clock. You should be on

1577
01:32:50.600 --> 01:32:52.560
your way home. I was just about today.

1578
01:32:52.880 --> 01:32:55.159
Has my nephew called now, ma'am?

1579
01:32:55.319 --> 01:32:57.239
Mister Bedford hasn't called since yesterday.

1580
01:32:57.560 --> 01:33:00.119
I told him he couldn't come in, just like you say.

1581
01:33:00.399 --> 01:33:02.199
I don't ever want to see him again.

1582
01:33:02.760 --> 01:33:03.560
He's no good.

1583
01:33:03.840 --> 01:33:06.439
He's an evil man who will come to an evil end.

1584
01:33:07.039 --> 01:33:09.439
You're never to let him in here, Hilda. He won't

1585
01:33:09.439 --> 01:33:11.399
ever come in this house if I can help it.

1586
01:33:11.560 --> 01:33:12.119
No, ma'am.

1587
01:33:12.560 --> 01:33:15.880
Now you'd better run along and make sure all the

1588
01:33:16.000 --> 01:33:17.039
doors are bullt.

1589
01:33:16.840 --> 01:33:19.600
Yes, ma'am. Good night, Miss Ferguson.

1590
01:33:19.439 --> 01:33:25.319
Good night Hilda. Pity about that nephew of mine. I'll

1591
01:33:25.399 --> 01:33:27.920
change my will. Don't leave him a penny.

1592
01:33:27.960 --> 01:33:28.319
I won't.

1593
01:33:29.680 --> 01:33:31.680
In the morning, I'll change the will.

1594
01:33:31.800 --> 01:33:35.920
That's who's there. Who is it is?

1595
01:33:36.000 --> 01:33:38.680
My aunt Martha. You're an affectionate neview.

1596
01:33:38.920 --> 01:33:40.319
What are you doing in my house?

1597
01:33:40.680 --> 01:33:43.039
You're not at all pleased to see me. You're a

1598
01:33:43.239 --> 01:33:44.359
living relative too.

1599
01:33:44.600 --> 01:33:48.279
I'd like you to leave at once, so call the police.

1600
01:33:48.600 --> 01:33:51.680
I'd rather not, Auntie. I want to talk with you.

1601
01:33:51.680 --> 01:33:54.159
You don't want to talk to me. All you want

1602
01:33:54.199 --> 01:33:54.680
is money.

1603
01:33:55.039 --> 01:33:57.880
Yes, Auntie, I do want money, and lots of it.

1604
01:33:58.479 --> 01:34:00.520
You've got all the money you'll ever get out of me.

1605
01:34:01.319 --> 01:34:03.560
You won't even get a penny after I die.

1606
01:34:03.680 --> 01:34:04.399
I'll see to that.

1607
01:34:05.239 --> 01:34:07.479
Perhaps you'll appreciate the value of money after.

1608
01:34:07.319 --> 01:34:08.119
You've worked for it.

1609
01:34:08.319 --> 01:34:12.439
You know, Auntie, you're wearing gloves.

1610
01:34:12.880 --> 01:34:13.680
What are you up to?

1611
01:34:13.920 --> 01:34:15.000
I've made up my mind.

1612
01:34:15.359 --> 01:34:16.119
What are you doing?

1613
01:34:16.880 --> 01:34:17.439
Keep away?

1614
01:34:17.800 --> 01:34:20.159
You're an old woman. All that money is no good

1615
01:34:20.239 --> 01:34:22.479
for you can never use it. I'm young, and money

1616
01:34:22.479 --> 01:34:25.680
means life to me. A rich and gay life. You're

1617
01:34:25.760 --> 01:34:27.399
old and you're going to die soon anyway.

1618
01:34:27.399 --> 01:34:30.560
No, No, it can't be. You're not going to do that.

1619
01:34:30.800 --> 01:34:33.000
Yes, Auntie, I am. You don't want to live anywhere.

1620
01:34:33.039 --> 01:34:34.960
You're lonely, you're sick, and you're old. I'm going to

1621
01:34:34.960 --> 01:34:42.640
do your favor. Nobody can hear you, and you're only air.

1622
01:34:42.680 --> 01:34:43.119
Auntie.

1623
01:34:43.239 --> 01:34:44.159
You're next to a king.

1624
01:34:44.319 --> 01:34:51.960
This state is going to be mine, all of it. Now.

1625
01:34:52.039 --> 01:34:55.439
Don't you worry, Auntie. We'll have a fine funeral for you.

1626
01:35:00.279 --> 01:35:12.079
H That's pretty much the way old Miss Ferguson was murdered.

1627
01:35:13.600 --> 01:35:16.640
Hilda found the body the next morning. I immediately went

1628
01:35:16.680 --> 01:35:19.399
to work on the case. All the evidence pointed to

1629
01:35:19.479 --> 01:35:23.439
John Bedford. Everyone believed he committed the crime. He almost

1630
01:35:23.479 --> 01:35:26.760
admitted it himself. I had him brought to my office

1631
01:35:26.800 --> 01:35:37.279
for questions. Oh hello Bedford, come in, thank you? Well,

1632
01:35:38.520 --> 01:35:40.800
how does it feel to kill your own aunt? May

1633
01:35:40.880 --> 01:35:41.359
have a lightly?

1634
01:35:42.119 --> 01:35:45.880
Yes, of course, thank him.

1635
01:35:46.439 --> 01:35:48.920
I wouldn't know, so, William. You see, I never killed anyone,

1636
01:35:49.279 --> 01:35:53.880
have you I have, mister Bedford, and I've sent quite

1637
01:35:53.920 --> 01:35:57.680
a few to the gallows. So I understand what was

1638
01:35:57.680 --> 01:36:00.960
your relationship to Miss Ferguson? She was my aunt. Don't

1639
01:36:00.960 --> 01:36:04.520
be flippant. Flippancy only proves your guilt. Well to tell

1640
01:36:04.520 --> 01:36:06.479
you the truth of My aunt didn't like me. She

1641
01:36:06.560 --> 01:36:08.840
thought I was a spendthrift and a useless paraside, and

1642
01:36:08.880 --> 01:36:11.960
she was quite right. Would you mind telling me where

1643
01:36:12.000 --> 01:36:14.359
you were the knight your aunt was murdered? Not at

1644
01:36:14.399 --> 01:36:17.279
all in jail. I had drunk a little too much

1645
01:36:17.319 --> 01:36:18.760
and got into a bit of a tiff with someone

1646
01:36:18.800 --> 01:36:21.479
as all. Have you ever been arrested for drunkness before?

1647
01:36:21.720 --> 01:36:24.199
Never so, William. This was my first offense. It's quite

1648
01:36:24.239 --> 01:36:27.359
an alibi, quite a fact. It would hardly be possible

1649
01:36:27.359 --> 01:36:29.039
for me to be in jail and kill my aunt

1650
01:36:29.079 --> 01:36:30.840
at the same time, you know, unless, of course, my

1651
01:36:30.880 --> 01:36:33.159
aunt came into my cell and allowed me to murder her,

1652
01:36:33.479 --> 01:36:36.079
after which she walked back to Tullett House as a ghost,

1653
01:36:36.159 --> 01:36:40.319
dragging her body behind her. According to my reports, mister Bedford,

1654
01:36:40.359 --> 01:36:43.000
you drink very little. No one who knows you has

1655
01:36:43.000 --> 01:36:46.119
ever seen you drunk before. You probably got drunk in

1656
01:36:46.199 --> 01:36:50.720
joyful anticipation of murdering your aunt. As a thoroughgoing criminal investigator,

1657
01:36:51.039 --> 01:36:52.680
don't you think you ought to check my stir I

1658
01:36:52.680 --> 01:36:56.880
already have You've done a very skillful job. Too bad

1659
01:36:56.920 --> 01:37:00.520
you couldn't use your talents for something constructive. Why don't

1660
01:37:00.560 --> 01:37:03.640
you arrest mister William, No, mister Bedford, I have time,

1661
01:37:04.640 --> 01:37:07.319
plenty of time, and you'd better work fast. By the

1662
01:37:07.319 --> 01:37:08.960
time you get around to me, I'll have spent all

1663
01:37:09.000 --> 01:37:11.439
of my aunt's beautiful money. It's not the money we're after,

1664
01:37:12.239 --> 01:37:27.479
it's you, your beautiful life. Good day, mister Bedford. That's

1665
01:37:27.520 --> 01:37:30.159
how matters? Could I refuse to let him? My men

1666
01:37:30.239 --> 01:37:30.720
arrest him.

1667
01:37:30.720 --> 01:37:32.159
But how in the world could he have murdered his

1668
01:37:32.199 --> 01:37:34.359
aunt while he was in jail? Perhaps he bribed the

1669
01:37:34.359 --> 01:37:35.800
prison guard to let him up on a.

1670
01:37:36.079 --> 01:37:39.359
Yes, ROBERTA, I believe he did. Unfortunately, the guard died

1671
01:37:39.399 --> 01:37:42.680
of pneumonia soon afterwards, which left us no further source

1672
01:37:42.720 --> 01:37:43.680
of evidence.

1673
01:37:43.560 --> 01:37:45.520
As far as I can see at the moment, Sir William,

1674
01:37:45.560 --> 01:37:47.079
you haven't a leg to stand on.

1675
01:37:47.600 --> 01:37:50.880
You're quite right, Arthur, I haven't, except that every man,

1676
01:37:51.840 --> 01:37:56.479
particularly a criminal, as an arkill is heel. I discovered

1677
01:37:56.520 --> 01:37:57.600
John Bedford's weakness.

1678
01:37:57.760 --> 01:37:58.279
What did it?

1679
01:38:00.079 --> 01:38:05.000
He's superstitious and it annoyed me tremendously that John Bedford

1680
01:38:05.159 --> 01:38:09.600
was my first failure here was a clever, callous criminal

1681
01:38:09.800 --> 01:38:12.800
who laughed at me. No one had ever done that before.

1682
01:38:14.079 --> 01:38:16.239
Bedford knew I could do him no harm, and he

1683
01:38:16.279 --> 01:38:19.479
made the most of it, carefully and patiently. I thought

1684
01:38:19.479 --> 01:38:22.399
it over. I looked upon Bedford as you would look

1685
01:38:22.439 --> 01:38:25.760
on a Chinese puzzle. There is no such thing as

1686
01:38:25.760 --> 01:38:36.239
an impregnable defense. A few months later I went to visit, Well, so,

1687
01:38:36.399 --> 01:38:38.840
William brand not a surprise. Won't you come in to

1688
01:38:39.800 --> 01:38:42.920
thank you, mister Bedford? Well, I'm honored to have the

1689
01:38:43.039 --> 01:38:46.239
great Sir William Brent paimure visit. You're not after any

1690
01:38:46.279 --> 01:38:48.279
more clues. I hope it gets rather tedious, you know.

1691
01:38:48.720 --> 01:38:49.239
Not at all.

1692
01:38:49.479 --> 01:38:51.079
I know when I'm licked, and I didn't want to

1693
01:38:51.079 --> 01:38:53.960
appear smug so that everyone has his waterloo? Will you

1694
01:38:53.960 --> 01:38:54.399
ever drink?

1695
01:38:54.439 --> 01:38:54.479
No?

1696
01:38:54.600 --> 01:38:58.520
Thanks? I suppose you're curious about why I came here. Well,

1697
01:38:58.840 --> 01:39:02.359
i'd hardly imagined was a friendly. On the contrary, it is,

1698
01:39:03.159 --> 01:39:07.159
you see. I admire brilliant people, no matter what they're calling. Oh,

1699
01:39:07.279 --> 01:39:10.439
you're all very flatterings the William I've resigned from the

1700
01:39:10.479 --> 01:39:13.920
in criminal investigation. I'm a private citizen now he is.

1701
01:39:13.920 --> 01:39:18.359
I've heard about the most people misunderstand me. It wasn't

1702
01:39:18.399 --> 01:39:21.079
my love for justice that made me pursue my profession

1703
01:39:21.119 --> 01:39:26.079
with such tenacity, and says, with the sole exception of

1704
01:39:26.119 --> 01:39:29.119
your case. Of course, it was a game of skill

1705
01:39:29.159 --> 01:39:32.920
to me, my wits against all comers. I lost in

1706
01:39:32.960 --> 01:39:36.039
your case, But then we've all got to lose some time,

1707
01:39:36.079 --> 01:39:39.479
haven't we. I don't believe you're sir William. You're still

1708
01:39:39.479 --> 01:39:42.600
out to get me. Well, there isn't much of a chance,

1709
01:39:42.720 --> 01:39:45.199
is there. I'm afraid not, Sir William. I've kept out

1710
01:39:45.239 --> 01:39:49.960
of trouble so far. Knock Wood. That's an odd habit

1711
01:39:50.000 --> 01:39:54.560
for a man like you, knocking on wood. You're not superstitious,

1712
01:39:54.600 --> 01:39:56.960
are you? Of course, not just the habit since I

1713
01:39:57.039 --> 01:39:58.600
was a child, I see.

1714
01:39:59.600 --> 01:39:59.840
Well.

1715
01:40:00.119 --> 01:40:02.880
Out of the reason for my visit, I noticed in

1716
01:40:02.920 --> 01:40:05.800
the papers that you're looking for a tenant for turret house. Well,

1717
01:40:05.840 --> 01:40:10.680
yes i am, I'd like to rent it. Whoa the

1718
01:40:10.760 --> 01:40:14.359
scene of the crime? Well, of course, why not, there's

1719
01:40:14.399 --> 01:40:16.199
no harm in it. As a matter of fact, I'll

1720
01:40:16.239 --> 01:40:26.199
let you have it very cheaply. And that's how I

1721
01:40:26.279 --> 01:40:29.319
rented this house, the house where the murder was committed.

1722
01:40:29.479 --> 01:40:30.399
Well, what's your plan?

1723
01:40:30.560 --> 01:40:32.920
It had better be a good one. Mister Bedford sounds

1724
01:40:32.960 --> 01:40:34.000
like a hard customer.

1725
01:40:34.520 --> 01:40:37.920
Yes, it's a strange plan, but an effective one. I

1726
01:40:37.960 --> 01:40:42.159
saw Bedford frequently. Our acquaintance blossomed into a kind of friendship,

1727
01:40:42.159 --> 01:40:43.000
an armed friendship.

1728
01:40:43.039 --> 01:40:44.800
Of course, he knew I.

1729
01:40:44.760 --> 01:40:46.960
Was out to get him, and I wanted him to

1730
01:40:47.000 --> 01:40:52.079
know that he's vain, very vain, and this game intrigued him.

1731
01:40:52.439 --> 01:40:55.960
I also learned that he was very superstitious, although he

1732
01:40:56.039 --> 01:41:00.000
denied it vigorously. Tonight is the anniversary of the murder,

1733
01:41:00.760 --> 01:41:05.199
and tonight mister Bedford dines with us at eight o'clock.

1734
01:41:05.479 --> 01:41:09.319
It's nearly eight now. Now this is the plan, you know,

1735
01:41:09.439 --> 01:41:12.640
may Wakefield. Of course, she's the same as shakespearean actress.

1736
01:41:12.720 --> 01:41:16.680
That's right. During dinner, she will enter the room in

1737
01:41:16.760 --> 01:41:20.800
the precise likeness of Miss Ferguson, the murdered woman. We,

1738
01:41:20.960 --> 01:41:23.960
of course, will pretend not to see her. We remain

1739
01:41:24.000 --> 01:41:27.439
outwardly unconscious of her. Only Bedford will be aware of

1740
01:41:27.439 --> 01:41:30.000
her presence. I believe Bedford will confess.

1741
01:41:30.119 --> 01:41:32.359
I'd imagine he'd keep away on this night, especially if

1742
01:41:32.359 --> 01:41:33.279
it's the anniversary.

1743
01:41:33.520 --> 01:41:36.960
He's giddy with success, and also the fact that ROBERTA. Stone,

1744
01:41:36.960 --> 01:41:39.319
the famous writer, is here with us. Tweaks. He's vanity.

1745
01:41:40.000 --> 01:41:40.960
He'll be here promptly.

1746
01:41:41.319 --> 01:41:42.159
I don't like this.

1747
01:41:42.600 --> 01:41:44.760
Well, this is just like one of your stories. It

1748
01:41:44.800 --> 01:41:46.039
doesn't become you to be frightened.

1749
01:41:46.279 --> 01:41:47.159
I won't run away.

1750
01:41:47.399 --> 01:41:50.560
Well, there's one more thing. During dinner, the electric lights

1751
01:41:50.600 --> 01:41:53.039
will be switched off at the main and candles will

1752
01:41:53.079 --> 01:41:57.159
be lit. We must have the correct atmosphere. You understand now,

1753
01:41:57.399 --> 01:42:00.199
you're not the see May Wakefield. She doesn't exist for us.

1754
01:42:00.399 --> 01:42:03.079
Is that clear? I'll look right through her. Oh, it

1755
01:42:03.119 --> 01:42:09.159
gives me the creeps that I am sure is our

1756
01:42:09.279 --> 01:42:16.880
mister Bedford. The appearance of John Bedford suddenly made the

1757
01:42:16.920 --> 01:42:20.359
whole scene grimly real. He was a tall, well built

1758
01:42:20.359 --> 01:42:24.199
man in his late thirties, immaculately dressed and perfectly groomed.

1759
01:42:24.880 --> 01:42:27.880
At first sight, his face scene pleasant enough, but on

1760
01:42:27.960 --> 01:42:31.880
closer scrutiny, his gray eyes were hard and cold. He

1761
01:42:31.920 --> 01:42:35.600
looked us, over all of us, with arrogance and superiority.

1762
01:42:36.359 --> 01:42:39.479
I heartily wished I was elsewhere. This was one scene

1763
01:42:39.520 --> 01:42:43.000
I had no desire to witness. After the introductions were over,

1764
01:42:43.039 --> 01:42:44.039
we sat down to dinner.

1765
01:42:45.159 --> 01:42:47.840
Is it still nasty outside? Mister Bedford, isn't getting worse?

1766
01:42:47.960 --> 01:42:49.479
Looks like we're in for a few days. Are they

1767
01:42:49.960 --> 01:42:54.359
too bad? I was going to do some riding tomorrow. Extra, Yes,

1768
01:42:54.479 --> 01:42:57.359
your cook should be congratulated. So the soup's a masterpiece

1769
01:42:57.680 --> 01:43:00.479
for Alice. She's been my cook for twenty years, but

1770
01:43:00.560 --> 01:43:03.520
she's given me notice. Absolutely refuses to stay here. Says

1771
01:43:03.520 --> 01:43:06.399
this house is haunted. Sir Robert her this might make

1772
01:43:06.399 --> 01:43:09.279
an interesting story for you. You should speak to her.

1773
01:43:10.079 --> 01:43:12.279
Alice swears that she has seen the figure of an

1774
01:43:12.279 --> 01:43:15.600
elderly lady with finger marks on her throat walking about

1775
01:43:15.600 --> 01:43:22.000
this come laws of William. This is too good, but

1776
01:43:22.159 --> 01:43:25.720
an obvious attempt to frighten me. So William is convinced

1777
01:43:25.720 --> 01:43:29.840
that I murdered my aunt. Please William a little more subtlety.

1778
01:43:29.920 --> 01:43:30.960
Surely I deserve it.

1779
01:43:31.039 --> 01:43:32.760
Perhaps the cook did see the figure.

1780
01:43:33.520 --> 01:43:35.760
As you very well know, mister Bedford, I don't believe

1781
01:43:35.760 --> 01:43:38.000
in ghosts, and I'm sure my cook never saw this

1782
01:43:38.079 --> 01:43:41.159
elderly figure. It's all in her mind. Well, I'm afraid

1783
01:43:41.199 --> 01:43:43.840
your little attempt didn't work. So but I must admire

1784
01:43:43.880 --> 01:43:46.960
your grateful admittance of its failure. I suppose i'd better

1785
01:43:46.960 --> 01:43:48.760
give up, shouldn't I? Oh no, no, no, never give

1786
01:43:48.840 --> 01:43:50.319
up if at first you don't succeed.

1787
01:43:50.359 --> 01:43:53.560
You know, do you live very far from here, mister Bedmin.

1788
01:43:53.920 --> 01:43:55.840
Thank you, miss Stone, But there's no need to change

1789
01:43:55.880 --> 01:43:58.439
the topic. I hope you find this game as amusing

1790
01:43:58.479 --> 01:43:58.960
as I do.

1791
01:44:00.520 --> 01:44:03.159
But this isn't my idea of pleasant dinner conversation.

1792
01:44:03.479 --> 01:44:05.319
Oh, we'll talk of pleasant things.

1793
01:44:05.880 --> 01:44:07.720
I saw a very exciting play last night.

1794
01:44:07.760 --> 01:44:10.720
Excuse me moment. It's really fearfully hot in here. Do

1795
01:44:10.760 --> 01:44:11.800
you mind if we get a little load?

1796
01:44:12.079 --> 01:44:13.800
Oh I'm sorry it is rather warm.

1797
01:44:14.079 --> 01:44:19.560
Lane, open one of the windows, please, yes, sir, awful weather.

1798
01:44:19.359 --> 01:44:19.720
Isn't it.

1799
01:44:19.960 --> 01:44:20.239
Yes?

1800
01:44:20.560 --> 01:44:21.600
I don't know how we're going to.

1801
01:44:21.520 --> 01:44:24.319
Get home months of the year, I'd intended to go

1802
01:44:24.359 --> 01:44:24.920
to the Riviera.

1803
01:44:25.199 --> 01:44:28.640
What's the matter, Lane, What on earth is wrong with

1804
01:44:28.680 --> 01:44:29.199
the lights?

1805
01:44:29.319 --> 01:44:32.560
I don't know, sir. Well, don't stand there. Light the candles.

1806
01:44:32.560 --> 01:44:34.800
We can't sit here in the darkness and get the chauffeur.

1807
01:44:34.960 --> 01:44:36.520
You knows something about electric lights.

1808
01:44:36.640 --> 01:44:38.479
I'll call the chauffeur right away, sir.

1809
01:44:39.239 --> 01:44:41.680
I'm terribly sorry about this. We've had trouble with the

1810
01:44:41.680 --> 01:44:44.239
wiring before. The chauffeur will have it fixed in a

1811
01:44:44.239 --> 01:44:47.399
few moments. Now let's get on with our dinner. If

1812
01:44:47.399 --> 01:44:50.119
this is one of your tricks, William, have some more wine,

1813
01:44:50.119 --> 01:44:53.920
mister Bedford. It was a tense and terrible moment. I

1814
01:44:53.960 --> 01:44:58.119
looked at for better. She was pale and frightened. Bedford,

1815
01:44:58.159 --> 01:45:01.279
for all his poise, was uneasy. He didn't know whether

1816
01:45:01.319 --> 01:45:03.319
Sir William was planning anything, or whether this was really

1817
01:45:03.359 --> 01:45:07.239
an accident. My heart was pounding away, and my palms

1818
01:45:07.239 --> 01:45:11.960
were moist with perspiration. Only Sir William appeared cool. There

1819
01:45:12.000 --> 01:45:14.720
was not a trace of emotion in his face. Oh,

1820
01:45:14.760 --> 01:45:17.560
mister Bedford, you were saying about visiting the Riviera. Eh,

1821
01:45:17.800 --> 01:45:20.279
it's quite a change from England at this time of year.

1822
01:45:20.560 --> 01:45:22.720
I suppose I'll make the trip next month.

1823
01:45:22.520 --> 01:45:22.880
When I.

1824
01:45:24.680 --> 01:45:28.319
What's the matter, mister Bedford, Nothing, nothing at all. I

1825
01:45:28.319 --> 01:45:30.720
I wish we could have some light. Rather difficult to see,

1826
01:45:30.840 --> 01:45:33.239
mist I'm terribly sorry this had happened just at dinner.

1827
01:45:33.880 --> 01:45:36.199
Have a little more wine, mister Bedford, pay payes, thank you.

1828
01:45:38.159 --> 01:45:40.840
The figure of a woman had entered the room. She

1829
01:45:40.920 --> 01:45:44.600
had come in silently, like a ghost. We all saw her,

1830
01:45:45.600 --> 01:45:47.479
but not one of us moved or made a sign

1831
01:45:47.479 --> 01:45:51.600
of recognition from the dim candlelight. She looked ghostly and unreal.

1832
01:45:52.680 --> 01:45:55.079
Bedford looked at all of us to see if we

1833
01:45:55.119 --> 01:45:58.279
also had seen the figure, but we ate our dinner grimly.

1834
01:45:58.880 --> 01:46:01.960
He looked again, then shook his head and gulped more wine.

1835
01:46:04.079 --> 01:46:07.319
Don't an if you see anything, see what, mister Bedford

1836
01:46:07.880 --> 01:46:10.520
is another one of your tricks. Can any of you

1837
01:46:10.600 --> 01:46:14.079
see her? What's got into you? Bedford? It's my aunt,

1838
01:46:14.640 --> 01:46:18.680
my aunt. Perhaps you had too much to drink. Your

1839
01:46:18.680 --> 01:46:19.159
aunt's dead.

1840
01:46:19.199 --> 01:46:21.560
Mister Bedford, you're not seeing ghosts.

1841
01:46:21.560 --> 01:46:25.479
I hope. Perhaps I'm doing too much. Yes, of course

1842
01:46:27.439 --> 01:46:27.920
she's coming.

1843
01:46:28.000 --> 01:46:31.399
Told me, calm yourself. I've never seen you like this.

1844
01:46:32.159 --> 01:46:34.720
There's no one else here. Do you see anyone?

1845
01:46:34.760 --> 01:46:39.560
ROBERTA No, No, William, I don't either. I'm leaving.

1846
01:46:40.239 --> 01:46:43.000
I can't make you out, Bedford. You don't seem to

1847
01:46:43.039 --> 01:46:43.479
be drunk.

1848
01:46:43.960 --> 01:46:47.079
You're not wearing your gloves today.

1849
01:46:47.439 --> 01:46:48.920
John, she's real.

1850
01:46:50.039 --> 01:46:53.520
If you see her, cat you hear what's come over you? Bedford.

1851
01:46:53.560 --> 01:46:54.239
I'm leaving here.

1852
01:46:55.239 --> 01:46:56.039
She's at the door.

1853
01:46:56.359 --> 01:46:57.199
She won't all.

1854
01:46:57.760 --> 01:47:02.760
I'm an old woman. Money is no good for me.

1855
01:47:04.039 --> 01:47:11.359
I'm lone, John, I'm let me on.

1856
01:47:12.520 --> 01:47:14.920
There's no one in your way, Bedford, come sit down,

1857
01:47:14.960 --> 01:47:15.720
get away from.

1858
01:47:15.560 --> 01:47:18.159
My door on where you can give me your mother.

1859
01:47:18.920 --> 01:47:19.800
Get your way.

1860
01:47:26.039 --> 01:47:30.399
All right, Switch on the lights, our officer, Graham, come along,

1861
01:47:30.920 --> 01:47:35.239
arrest him. You've heard the confession. Put the handcuffs on him.

1862
01:47:34.079 --> 01:47:38.479
I have never seen anything so horrible.

1863
01:47:39.119 --> 01:47:42.199
Well, Bedford, it seems that I finally caught up with you.

1864
01:47:43.600 --> 01:47:47.279
I'll kill That wasn't your aunt. It was May Wakefield,

1865
01:47:47.279 --> 01:47:52.159
the actress. Kim take him away, Graham. He's in a

1866
01:47:52.159 --> 01:47:58.920
state of shock. Well, shall we continue with our dinner.

1867
01:47:59.159 --> 01:48:02.000
I hope you'll pullase satisfied, Sir William quite.

1868
01:48:02.439 --> 01:48:04.960
It's been a long job, but it has ended as

1869
01:48:05.000 --> 01:48:07.399
I knew it would. I'm most grateful to you both

1870
01:48:07.479 --> 01:48:08.000
for your help.

1871
01:48:08.319 --> 01:48:10.079
I thought it was a pretty grim affair.

1872
01:48:10.199 --> 01:48:13.239
Oh, your methods repel me. But I suppose you know

1873
01:48:13.319 --> 01:48:16.760
your job. May Wakefield certainly knew hers. That was the

1874
01:48:16.800 --> 01:48:18.319
finest piece of acting I've ever seen.

1875
01:48:18.439 --> 01:48:22.000
Her makeup was incredibly good. We must congratulate her. She's

1876
01:48:22.039 --> 01:48:25.359
probably gone to her room. Lane, Yes, sir, please call

1877
01:48:25.399 --> 01:48:26.159
miss Wakefield.

1878
01:48:26.239 --> 01:48:27.680
Miss Wakefield, sir.

1879
01:48:28.000 --> 01:48:30.439
Yes, the lady who's been assisting us this evening. Well,

1880
01:48:31.479 --> 01:48:33.760
I look for her sir, no, tell her to come

1881
01:48:33.800 --> 01:48:35.920
down and join us. We have a fine dinner waiting

1882
01:48:35.960 --> 01:48:36.239
for her.

1883
01:48:36.319 --> 01:48:39.439
Excuse me, sir, this telegram came a little while ago.

1884
01:48:39.720 --> 01:48:42.520
I didn't want to disturb you d'aring dinner a let

1885
01:48:42.600 --> 01:48:53.479
me have it good Heaveness, Sir William, what's wrong? I'll

1886
01:48:53.520 --> 01:48:54.119
read it to you.

1887
01:48:56.479 --> 01:49:00.960
Severe influenza makes it impossible for me to leave my

1888
01:49:01.199 --> 01:49:04.600
bed tonight, Will tomorrow night do.

1889
01:49:06.119 --> 01:49:15.439
Signed May Wakefield? Lord help us. If it wasn't May Wakefield,

1890
01:49:15.479 --> 01:49:20.640
then who was that figure here tonight? There was no answer.

1891
01:49:21.640 --> 01:49:24.880
I looked at Sir William, staring at the telegram. His

1892
01:49:25.000 --> 01:49:28.439
face was gray and stony. On his left temple, a

1893
01:49:28.479 --> 01:49:32.039
crooked blue veins stood out. It twitched once or twice,

1894
01:49:32.279 --> 01:49:36.840
and then was motionless. He looked. He looked as though

1895
01:49:36.840 --> 01:49:37.920
he'd seen a ghost.

1896
01:49:48.279 --> 01:49:51.680
And so closes bank Will's Chair, starring Donald Crisp and

1897
01:49:51.800 --> 01:49:55.680
John Loder, Tonight's Tale of Suspense.

1898
01:49:59.720 --> 01:50:01.399
Now, oh, you may want to make a note of

1899
01:50:01.439 --> 01:50:02.079
a change of.

1900
01:50:02.079 --> 01:50:07.399
Time and these programs beginning next Tuesday, Suspense will be

1901
01:50:07.439 --> 01:50:11.199
heard a half hour later or ten to ten thirty

1902
01:50:11.439 --> 01:50:20.720
Eastern war time. This is your narrator, The Man in

1903
01:50:20.800 --> 01:50:24.199
Black who conveys to you Columbia's invitation to spend this

1904
01:50:24.279 --> 01:50:27.560
half hour in suspense with us at our new time

1905
01:50:27.720 --> 01:50:32.439
next Tuesday, when Vincent Price, Ona Munson and Osa Masson

1906
01:50:32.880 --> 01:50:37.600
will star in the suspense play Five Canaries in the Room.

1907
01:50:37.880 --> 01:50:41.720
The producer of these broadcasts is William Spear, with Ted Blister,

1908
01:50:41.800 --> 01:50:46.439
director lud Gluskin and Lucian Morrowick conductor and composer, and

1909
01:50:46.520 --> 01:50:51.840
Sigmund Miller. The radio offer collaborated on tonight's suspense.

1910
01:51:08.000 --> 01:51:25.680
This is CBS Columbia Broadcasting System.

1911
01:51:25.680 --> 01:51:30.680
My dear, do you ever find it hard to make

1912
01:51:30.760 --> 01:51:37.600
up your mind? A mind is a terrible thing to waste,

1913
01:51:37.800 --> 01:51:42.680
so why not make it up real nice, I suppose,

1914
01:51:44.399 --> 01:51:51.359
But really it's so hard to put down a pin,

1915
01:51:53.039 --> 01:51:59.079
to stick it into one way or another and hope

1916
01:52:00.079 --> 01:52:06.239
for the best. Mm hmm. I just have such a

1917
01:52:06.319 --> 01:52:10.319
hard time making a decision.

1918
01:52:12.520 --> 01:52:15.720
The Signal Oil program the whistler.

1919
01:52:27.279 --> 01:52:28.960
That whistle is.

1920
01:52:28.920 --> 01:52:52.960
Your signal for the Signal Oil program. The whistler. I

1921
01:52:53.520 --> 01:52:56.960
am the whistler, and I know many things. For I

1922
01:52:57.079 --> 01:53:01.119
walk by night. I know many strange tales.

1923
01:53:00.760 --> 01:53:02.880
Hidden in the hearts of men and women who.

1924
01:53:02.760 --> 01:53:04.119
Have stepped into the shadows.

1925
01:53:05.199 --> 01:53:09.239
Yes, I know, the nameless terrors of which they dare

1926
01:53:09.319 --> 01:53:09.960
not speak.

1927
01:53:15.319 --> 01:53:18.239
Yes, friends, it's time for the Signal Oil program. The

1928
01:53:18.279 --> 01:53:22.319
Whistler rated tops in popularity for a longer period of

1929
01:53:22.359 --> 01:53:25.840
time than any other West Coast program in radio history,

1930
01:53:26.640 --> 01:53:30.720
and Signal gasoline is tops two tops in quality. It

1931
01:53:30.800 --> 01:53:33.760
takes extra quality, you know, to give you extra mile age.

1932
01:53:34.439 --> 01:53:38.840
And signal is the famous go farther gasoline. So look

1933
01:53:38.920 --> 01:53:42.239
for the signal circle sign in yellow and black that

1934
01:53:42.359 --> 01:53:47.359
identifies Friendly Dealer owned signal stations from Canada to Mexico.

1935
01:53:49.199 --> 01:53:53.319
And now the Whistler strange story decision.

1936
01:54:08.560 --> 01:54:11.000
It would have been far more logical had it happened

1937
01:54:11.000 --> 01:54:15.000
in the springtime in April, perhaps with the rhododendrons blooming

1938
01:54:15.039 --> 01:54:18.239
in Golden Gate Park, the kids playing ball on the

1939
01:54:18.279 --> 01:54:22.239
green lawns, and the maple trees coming to life again. Yes,

1940
01:54:22.439 --> 01:54:25.560
spring and San Francisco would have helped explain part of it,

1941
01:54:26.239 --> 01:54:28.439
but the rest would always be beyond.

1942
01:54:28.199 --> 01:54:32.479
Logic and common sense. It wasn't springtime. It was November,

1943
01:54:32.840 --> 01:54:35.039
with Christmas just around the corner.

1944
01:54:35.279 --> 01:54:38.840
A cold, gray day with the steam sizzling and the radiators.

1945
01:54:39.119 --> 01:54:41.079
As he sat near the window of his office on

1946
01:54:41.119 --> 01:54:44.159
the twentieth floor of the Hamilton Building, looking at an

1947
01:54:44.279 --> 01:54:48.560
uninspiring assortment of X rays of Missus Harrison's chest cavity.

1948
01:54:49.439 --> 01:54:50.720
Excuse me, doctor.

1949
01:54:50.479 --> 01:54:54.439
Evans, mm oh yes, miss Cardon. Missus Harrison called again

1950
01:54:54.560 --> 01:54:55.560
about the X rays.

1951
01:54:55.800 --> 01:54:58.760
Oh, there's nothing wrong with her heart all she needed

1952
01:54:58.840 --> 01:54:59.520
some fresh air.

1953
01:55:00.000 --> 01:55:00.800
Shall I tell her that?

1954
01:55:01.319 --> 01:55:03.479
No, I suppose I'll have to find her a disease

1955
01:55:03.520 --> 01:55:05.680
with twenty letters, I'll call her.

1956
01:55:05.760 --> 01:55:08.439
And there was another call from a Missus John Cameron.

1957
01:55:08.680 --> 01:55:11.600
Cameron, can you see her today? Is it important?

1958
01:55:11.960 --> 01:55:12.520
She said, so?

1959
01:55:12.840 --> 01:55:15.640
Yes, they all do, all right, make it twelve thirty.

1960
01:55:15.840 --> 01:55:17.640
What about lunch? I'll have to skip it.

1961
01:55:17.880 --> 01:55:20.960
Missus Cameron's heart is undoubtedly more important than my lunch.

1962
01:55:31.199 --> 01:55:34.279
And you noted it down in the book simply twelve thirty,

1963
01:55:34.520 --> 01:55:35.960
Missus John Cameron.

1964
01:55:37.119 --> 01:55:39.039
Later, when you had a chance to think.

1965
01:55:39.199 --> 01:55:42.039
You decided, if it hadn't happened so suddenly, it might.

1966
01:55:41.880 --> 01:55:43.680
Not have happened at all.

1967
01:55:43.720 --> 01:55:46.640
Perhaps that was part of it, Paul, the suddenness, the

1968
01:55:46.680 --> 01:55:48.239
way it threw you off balance.

1969
01:55:48.920 --> 01:55:50.079
But more than that, it was.

1970
01:55:50.039 --> 01:55:53.800
A black haired girl with blue eyes standing by the window.

1971
01:55:53.840 --> 01:55:55.720
When you looked up from your X rays A half

1972
01:55:55.760 --> 01:55:59.520
hour later, you remember exactly how she looked, the.

1973
01:55:59.479 --> 01:56:02.800
Turquoise dress with a gold belt and clip, the smart

1974
01:56:02.840 --> 01:56:03.680
little felt.

1975
01:56:03.479 --> 01:56:07.159
Hat accenting her dark hair, making you realize in a

1976
01:56:07.199 --> 01:56:09.760
split second what was wrong with all the girls?

1977
01:56:09.800 --> 01:56:10.479
You ever knew?

1978
01:56:11.520 --> 01:56:13.199
You must have come in while you sat at the

1979
01:56:13.199 --> 01:56:15.840
film illuminator looking at negatives and making notes.

1980
01:56:15.960 --> 01:56:22.000
Evident natural insufficiency, mine of valvul ilesion, Doctor Evans.

1981
01:56:21.560 --> 01:56:22.960
All right, I'll be with you in a moment.

1982
01:56:23.800 --> 01:56:28.399
Request the tale cardiograph media here.

1983
01:56:28.439 --> 01:56:30.439
We are just get rid of this stuff. Please sit

1984
01:56:30.479 --> 01:56:33.960
down now? What can I do for for?

1985
01:56:36.520 --> 01:56:36.800
Hello?

1986
01:56:36.920 --> 01:56:37.279
Doctor?

1987
01:56:39.960 --> 01:56:41.840
I'm Carol Cameron.

1988
01:56:42.399 --> 01:56:50.119
Carol Cameron. The my nurse said you were rather concerned

1989
01:56:50.119 --> 01:56:50.880
about yourself.

1990
01:56:50.960 --> 01:56:56.560
Oh no, no, it's it's It's not about myself. It's

1991
01:56:56.560 --> 01:57:01.039
about my husband. Oh I see John cam Perhaps you've.

1992
01:57:00.880 --> 01:57:02.720
Heard of him stocks and bonds, isn't he?

1993
01:57:02.800 --> 01:57:04.680
Yes? Yes, a few too many for his own good.

1994
01:57:04.720 --> 01:57:11.279
I'm afraid he's been under a terrible strain recently, and

1995
01:57:11.720 --> 01:57:15.239
night before last he had a rather severe attack. Yes, yes,

1996
01:57:15.960 --> 01:57:19.239
doctor Miles. Our family physicians suggested that I see.

1997
01:57:19.079 --> 01:57:19.640
You about it.

1998
01:57:19.720 --> 01:57:23.720
I see, Well, tell me where is your husband now?

1999
01:57:23.760 --> 01:57:24.840
At home in bed.

2000
01:57:25.680 --> 01:57:29.119
Didn't doctor Miles recommend a hospital.

2001
01:57:29.159 --> 01:57:32.239
Well, John's awfully unreasonable. He wouldn't hear of it. Insisted

2002
01:57:32.239 --> 01:57:34.359
that he'd be up and around in a day or two.

2003
01:57:34.560 --> 01:57:35.840
Well, that is unreasonable.

2004
01:57:37.199 --> 01:57:42.359
You'll see him, Yes, yes, of course, I'll be glad

2005
01:57:42.359 --> 01:57:44.119
to do what I can.

2006
01:57:52.520 --> 01:57:56.079
Just like that, Paul. A minute or so and she's gone.

2007
01:57:56.800 --> 01:57:59.199
You look up, you see her, And thirty seconds later

2008
01:58:00.000 --> 01:58:00.760
he could ask if.

2009
01:58:00.640 --> 01:58:03.039
You'd mind going to the North Pole for her, and

2010
01:58:03.079 --> 01:58:05.840
you'd tell her you'd be glad to All.

2011
01:58:05.920 --> 01:58:08.800
Afternoon, you try to shrug it off, tell yourself it's

2012
01:58:08.840 --> 01:58:11.880
fantastic that this is the sort of thing that keeps

2013
01:58:11.920 --> 01:58:13.640
you away from second rate movies.

2014
01:58:14.640 --> 01:58:17.319
But that evening, when you call on John Cameron, it's

2015
01:58:17.359 --> 01:58:17.880
still there.

2016
01:58:18.720 --> 01:58:22.159
Lucinda Witherrs, the housekeeper is waiting outside the door. After

2017
01:58:22.199 --> 01:58:23.439
you finish your examination.

2018
01:58:24.640 --> 01:58:26.399
Oh, where is missus Cameron?

2019
01:58:26.479 --> 01:58:29.319
Lucinda, she went out for a moment, Sir, tell me,

2020
01:58:29.840 --> 01:58:30.560
is it serious?

2021
01:58:31.000 --> 01:58:32.159
Yes, I'm afraid it is.

2022
01:58:32.399 --> 01:58:32.920
I knew it.

2023
01:58:33.359 --> 01:58:36.079
I could see it coming on. He's like a son

2024
01:58:36.119 --> 01:58:38.640
to me. Doctor. I've been with the family for twenty

2025
01:58:38.760 --> 01:58:42.840
years now, since way before she came. I see he

2026
01:58:43.000 --> 01:58:44.239
was never like this before.

2027
01:58:44.680 --> 01:58:45.680
Oh what do you mean by that?

2028
01:58:45.760 --> 01:58:47.079
She's not good for him.

2029
01:58:47.520 --> 01:58:51.039
She worries him, makes him nervous, keeps him thinking about

2030
01:58:51.079 --> 01:58:52.359
the fifteen years between them.

2031
01:58:52.840 --> 01:58:55.800
Yes, well, i'll have a prescription sent over in the morning.

2032
01:58:56.479 --> 01:58:58.479
I better be going now. My taxi is waiting outside.

2033
01:58:59.199 --> 01:59:00.920
You just keep him miss quiet as you can, and

2034
01:59:01.359 --> 01:59:02.760
i'll check him again tomorrow.

2035
01:59:03.079 --> 01:59:10.760
Very well, doctor, Oh, Dr.

2036
01:59:10.600 --> 01:59:14.600
Evans, Oh just a minute, I wondered what happened to you.

2037
01:59:14.960 --> 01:59:16.920
I was just about to go. I left instructions with

2038
01:59:16.960 --> 01:59:17.680
the housekeeper.

2039
01:59:17.760 --> 01:59:22.279
How is he and Gina Petress? It's it's quite serious.

2040
01:59:22.319 --> 01:59:22.840
I'm afraid.

2041
01:59:23.239 --> 01:59:26.960
Oh, he hasn't been taking very good care of himself.

2042
01:59:27.000 --> 01:59:29.399
He's got to now, I see.

2043
01:59:31.439 --> 01:59:34.079
Well, must you go right away?

2044
01:59:34.199 --> 01:59:35.520
Yes, I'm afraid. I'd better.

2045
01:59:35.560 --> 01:59:38.800
My taxi is waiting. Well, I thought it was waiting.

2046
01:59:39.119 --> 01:59:40.920
Doesn't seem to be there now, that's odd. I told

2047
01:59:41.000 --> 01:59:42.359
him to wait. I didn't even pay him.

2048
01:59:42.359 --> 01:59:45.079
I'd be glad to take you, I understand, right down

2049
01:59:45.199 --> 01:59:45.520
the curb.

2050
01:59:45.720 --> 01:59:47.720
Oh no, no, no, no, I couldn't. I only take a

2051
01:59:47.760 --> 01:59:48.279
minute to Colin.

2052
01:59:48.319 --> 01:59:53.520
Oh yeah, no, it's really no trouble. All right, I'll

2053
01:59:53.520 --> 02:00:05.920
get my coat there you are, doctor, right to the door.

2054
02:00:05.960 --> 02:00:07.319
It was awfully nice of you, missus.

2055
02:00:07.399 --> 02:00:07.760
Cameron.

2056
02:00:10.399 --> 02:00:16.560
Well, I guess the next thing to do is let's

2057
02:00:16.640 --> 02:00:19.680
get out just a minute.

2058
02:00:19.880 --> 02:00:23.600
I want to tell you I lied about the taxi.

2059
02:00:24.920 --> 02:00:30.600
I told him to go Why because I wanted to

2060
02:00:30.640 --> 02:00:31.239
take you home.

2061
02:00:31.840 --> 02:00:32.000
Why.

2062
02:00:32.960 --> 02:00:36.720
I'm very flattered, That's all.

2063
02:00:37.880 --> 02:00:39.039
I just wanted to tell you.

2064
02:00:40.039 --> 02:00:43.199
It's happened to you too, hasn't it.

2065
02:00:44.600 --> 02:00:44.800
Oh?

2066
02:00:44.880 --> 02:00:50.319
Yes, Look there's a friend of mine, a doctor Andrews.

2067
02:00:50.479 --> 02:00:53.079
He's an awfully good heart man. I'm sure he'll take

2068
02:00:53.119 --> 02:00:53.399
the case.

2069
02:00:53.439 --> 02:00:54.760
Please, please don't do that.

2070
02:00:54.920 --> 02:00:56.319
What else can I do? It's only going to make

2071
02:00:56.359 --> 02:00:56.720
it worse.

2072
02:00:56.840 --> 02:01:01.000
I know you just can't throw away what's happened to us,

2073
02:01:01.039 --> 02:01:01.319
can you?

2074
02:01:02.159 --> 02:01:04.760
It'd be wrong, It'd be wrong to do anything else, Carol.

2075
02:01:04.880 --> 02:01:05.880
Is that what we're here for?

2076
02:01:06.479 --> 02:01:08.600
To spend our lives looking for something that isn't there,

2077
02:01:08.640 --> 02:01:12.600
and then to suddenly find it throw it away?

2078
02:01:12.720 --> 02:01:13.000
Please?

2079
02:01:13.119 --> 02:01:13.439
Carol?

2080
02:01:16.319 --> 02:01:19.720
Well, shall we forget it?

2081
02:01:20.119 --> 02:01:25.119
I'll be around tomorrow with the prescription.

2082
02:01:35.359 --> 02:01:39.079
So that's how it started, Paul, Yes, it was easy

2083
02:01:39.079 --> 02:01:41.880
to analyze it, to list a million reasons why it

2084
02:01:42.000 --> 02:01:42.439
was wrong.

2085
02:01:43.079 --> 02:01:45.079
What the trouble was that when you were all.

2086
02:01:44.880 --> 02:01:50.039
Through analyzing it was still there, stronger than ever. You

2087
02:01:50.199 --> 02:01:52.760
visit John Cameron the next day, and the day after that,

2088
02:01:53.399 --> 02:01:55.760
and before you know it, the days have grown into weeks,

2089
02:01:56.439 --> 02:01:58.880
and the damp November night you arranged to meet her

2090
02:01:58.920 --> 02:02:03.119
secretly at a little French cafe on Washington Street leads

2091
02:02:03.159 --> 02:02:03.920
to a lot.

2092
02:02:03.800 --> 02:02:05.960
More of them, the two of you.

2093
02:02:06.000 --> 02:02:07.239
At the little corner table.

2094
02:02:07.279 --> 02:02:12.239
Henry reserves especially, not saying much, hardly realizing how the

2095
02:02:12.279 --> 02:02:17.720
time has flown. That tomorrow is the day before Christmas.

2096
02:02:20.159 --> 02:02:24.159
You know, that's one of my favorite Christmas hymns. It's beautiful, Yes,

2097
02:02:25.000 --> 02:02:28.039
Christmas day after tomorrow. It's hard to realize it.

2098
02:02:30.039 --> 02:02:35.680
You're happy, Carol, Happy and miserable or did you expect

2099
02:02:35.760 --> 02:02:36.399
anything else?

2100
02:02:36.560 --> 02:02:38.520
No, no, no, I knew it was going to be

2101
02:02:38.560 --> 02:02:42.880
this way, Paul. It's just that I feel so helpless.

2102
02:02:42.319 --> 02:02:46.760
And I'm glad you came to night, Carol, because because

2103
02:02:46.800 --> 02:02:49.319
I'm afraid this is going to be the last time.

2104
02:02:49.640 --> 02:02:52.439
Oh Paul, don't you see how impossible it all is.

2105
02:02:52.479 --> 02:02:56.880
We're both beating our heads against the stone wall. Absolutely right, Carol,

2106
02:02:56.920 --> 02:02:59.520
we are helpless, so I see it. The only thing

2107
02:02:59.560 --> 02:03:03.880
we can do is try to be square with ourselves. Honestly,

2108
02:03:03.920 --> 02:03:06.840
it just won't work any other way.

2109
02:03:07.800 --> 02:03:12.680
No, I suppose not. John will probably hang on like

2110
02:03:12.760 --> 02:03:13.760
this for years.

2111
02:03:13.880 --> 02:03:15.359
Yes he might if he's care.

2112
02:03:16.279 --> 02:03:18.680
You know, Paul, it's terrible to feel this way. I

2113
02:03:19.680 --> 02:03:22.319
just can't help it, Paul. I almost wish he'd no. No,

2114
02:03:22.560 --> 02:03:23.039
it's true.

2115
02:03:23.199 --> 02:03:23.800
It's true.

2116
02:03:24.279 --> 02:03:25.319
I never loved him, Paul.

2117
02:03:25.359 --> 02:03:26.119
My family thought.

2118
02:03:26.000 --> 02:03:26.680
He'd be good for me.

2119
02:03:26.680 --> 02:03:27.880
I didn't want any party.

2120
02:03:27.720 --> 02:03:30.199
I know, I know, my dear. You don't have to

2121
02:03:30.239 --> 02:03:30.560
tell me.

2122
02:03:30.640 --> 02:03:33.319
He's unhappy and he's sick and he's miserable, and it

2123
02:03:33.319 --> 02:03:34.399
will always be that way.

2124
02:03:34.439 --> 02:03:35.279
Why should he hears?

2125
02:03:35.359 --> 02:03:35.680
Carol?

2126
02:03:36.840 --> 02:03:38.399
Now, this is going to be the last time. I

2127
02:03:38.479 --> 02:03:41.560
mean it. I can get doctor Andrews on the case

2128
02:03:41.600 --> 02:03:42.000
next week.

2129
02:03:42.359 --> 02:03:48.039
No, look at me, Carol. Oh, it's going to work

2130
02:03:48.079 --> 02:03:50.439
out somehow, the right way.

2131
02:03:51.199 --> 02:04:08.479
Will you believe that, all right, Paul, if you say so, Yes.

2132
02:04:08.159 --> 02:04:11.319
Paul, it was the only thing to do, the honorable thing,

2133
02:04:11.800 --> 02:04:15.960
approved one hundred percent by the Medical Association. But it

2134
02:04:15.960 --> 02:04:18.840
doesn't help you sleep that night, and it doesn't help

2135
02:04:18.880 --> 02:04:21.159
the next day when you make your regular call on

2136
02:04:21.239 --> 02:04:25.119
John Cameron, examine him, find him the same, leave his

2137
02:04:25.239 --> 02:04:27.319
prescription bottle with Carol and Gold.

2138
02:04:28.520 --> 02:04:29.720
Yes, it had to end.

2139
02:04:29.640 --> 02:04:32.920
Paul, because you were both beginning to think the thing

2140
02:04:33.000 --> 02:04:36.800
that Carol almost said at the restaurant that you both wish.

2141
02:04:36.680 --> 02:04:45.359
John would die. And then at ten o'clock that night, hello,

2142
02:04:45.800 --> 02:04:46.520
doctor Evans.

2143
02:04:46.800 --> 02:04:49.720
Yes you must come at once, doctor, mister Cameron.

2144
02:04:49.760 --> 02:04:52.079
I'll be right over Lucinda. Now listen carefully.

2145
02:04:52.079 --> 02:04:54.199
There's a bottle of amal nitrate in the medicine cabinet

2146
02:04:54.199 --> 02:04:56.560
in the bathroom, break up a tablet in a handkerchief

2147
02:04:56.560 --> 02:04:57.199
and make him inhale.

2148
02:04:57.199 --> 02:04:58.199
It is that clear.

2149
02:04:58.520 --> 02:05:02.319
It's too late for that, doctor. I'm afraid he's dead.

2150
02:05:12.760 --> 02:05:16.520
With the prologue of decision, the Signal Oil Company is

2151
02:05:16.520 --> 02:05:18.479
bringing you another strange.

2152
02:05:17.960 --> 02:05:20.279
Story by the Whistler.

2153
02:05:22.640 --> 02:05:25.600
Just remember these two points if you want to be

2154
02:05:25.680 --> 02:05:30.359
sure of the tops in gasoline quality. One in gasoline,

2155
02:05:30.399 --> 02:05:35.800
it takes extra quality to go farther. And two Signal

2156
02:05:35.960 --> 02:05:40.399
is the famous go farther gasoline. And now back to

2157
02:05:40.439 --> 02:05:41.000
the Whistler.

2158
02:06:02.439 --> 02:06:06.560
So it finally happened, Paul. John Cameron is dead.

2159
02:06:07.399 --> 02:06:09.439
But it hasn't affected you as you thought it would.

2160
02:06:10.079 --> 02:06:13.359
There was something so sudden about it. It happened so

2161
02:06:13.359 --> 02:06:15.800
soon after you and Carol had decided to call it

2162
02:06:15.880 --> 02:06:19.600
off after she'd almost said what you'd both been thinking.

2163
02:06:20.520 --> 02:06:24.880
Yes, there's something wrong with it. It just feels wrong.

2164
02:06:25.760 --> 02:06:29.119
That's why, after you've examined him, you turned to Lucinda.

2165
02:06:30.800 --> 02:06:36.520
Lucinda, yes, doctor, you were here when it happened. Yes, missus.

2166
02:06:36.520 --> 02:06:38.560
Cameron had given him his medicine and gone to bed.

2167
02:06:39.039 --> 02:06:39.800
I heard him call.

2168
02:06:40.000 --> 02:06:41.199
Yes, what happened then?

2169
02:06:41.479 --> 02:06:44.840
He'd been violently sick, said his throat was burning.

2170
02:06:44.560 --> 02:06:47.800
Throat whisper or you must be mistaken, no, sir.

2171
02:06:48.159 --> 02:06:50.399
And he was all doubled up with cramps.

2172
02:06:50.399 --> 02:06:52.840
Wrong, you must be It's the truth, sir. Did you

2173
02:06:52.920 --> 02:06:53.640
give him anything?

2174
02:06:53.720 --> 02:06:53.840
No?

2175
02:06:54.720 --> 02:06:57.199
It was my night out and i'd only just come.

2176
02:06:57.159 --> 02:07:07.119
In when excuse me a minute. Well, Paul, don't go

2177
02:07:07.159 --> 02:07:11.600
in there. There's nothing you can do now, I know.

2178
02:07:14.159 --> 02:07:14.960
Well it's over.

2179
02:07:15.199 --> 02:07:16.760
Oh Carol, don't say anything, Paul.

2180
02:07:16.800 --> 02:07:18.039
I don't want to talk about it, to think about

2181
02:07:18.079 --> 02:07:18.479
it anymore.

2182
02:07:18.520 --> 02:07:19.840
Ever, we've got to think about it.

2183
02:07:19.840 --> 02:07:20.039
I know.

2184
02:07:20.079 --> 02:07:23.680
I know you don't have to tell me. He was

2185
02:07:23.720 --> 02:07:26.039
all right this morning, just as well as could be expected.

2186
02:07:26.239 --> 02:07:29.239
All right, Carol, what happens now?

2187
02:07:29.359 --> 02:07:35.239
I No, I won't say anymore do you know what's ahead?

2188
02:07:35.279 --> 02:07:36.239
I guess of course.

2189
02:07:37.960 --> 02:07:38.680
I'll be all right.

2190
02:07:39.479 --> 02:07:40.239
It's just you.

2191
02:07:40.479 --> 02:07:43.800
You better go to bed, you need some rest. I'll

2192
02:07:43.840 --> 02:07:44.760
take care of everything.

2193
02:07:54.399 --> 02:07:56.960
It's almost midnight when you get back to the office

2194
02:07:57.000 --> 02:07:59.560
and take the prescription bottle out of your pocket, the

2195
02:07:59.640 --> 02:08:03.319
one you took from Carol's medicine cabinet. You forget to

2196
02:08:03.319 --> 02:08:05.359
take off your hat and overcoat as you throw a

2197
02:08:05.359 --> 02:08:09.279
few pieces of laboratory equipment together, dissolve the powder in

2198
02:08:09.399 --> 02:08:12.960
water and make a test, A very simple.

2199
02:08:12.760 --> 02:08:18.039
Test, sire, Sire, I knew.

2200
02:08:17.760 --> 02:08:28.560
It poison well, Paul. It's quite a decision, isn't it.

2201
02:08:29.439 --> 02:08:31.000
You look down at the blank death.

2202
02:08:30.920 --> 02:08:33.520
Certificate on your desk until the letters burn into your

2203
02:08:33.560 --> 02:08:36.439
brain and you can see them when you close your eyes.

2204
02:08:37.159 --> 02:08:40.199
It's the most important decision you'll ever have to make, Paul.

2205
02:08:45.520 --> 02:08:48.520
Is that what we're here for? To spend our lives

2206
02:08:48.560 --> 02:08:49.960
looking for something that isn't there, and.

2207
02:08:50.000 --> 02:08:56.199
Then to suddenly find it throw it away.

2208
02:09:00.199 --> 02:09:03.279
Two o'clock three four.

2209
02:09:04.079 --> 02:09:06.319
All you can do is sit and stare at the desk,

2210
02:09:06.439 --> 02:09:10.439
trying to think it through. Your medical certificate's on one wall,

2211
02:09:11.079 --> 02:09:14.399
the Hippocratic oath in a neat black frame on the

2212
02:09:14.439 --> 02:09:19.479
other six o'clock, seven eight, and then your nurse arrives.

2213
02:09:21.079 --> 02:09:23.359
Why doctor, you've been here all night.

2214
02:09:23.880 --> 02:09:26.079
Yes, it's Cameron.

2215
02:09:26.600 --> 02:09:27.159
He's dead.

2216
02:09:28.000 --> 02:09:29.720
Well, it was only a matter of time.

2217
02:09:30.760 --> 02:09:32.399
Yes, yes, I guess it was.

2218
02:09:32.760 --> 02:09:36.479
I'll make out the certificate death from natural causes and

2219
02:09:36.600 --> 02:09:39.680
Gina petres acute, yes.

2220
02:09:39.600 --> 02:09:55.920
Doctor, Oh oh nothing, Hello Carol, Yes, Paul, I've just

2221
02:09:56.000 --> 02:09:59.199
filled out the death certificate heart disease.

2222
02:09:59.279 --> 02:09:59.439
Yes.

2223
02:10:00.840 --> 02:10:03.119
Do do you think they'll investigate?

2224
02:10:03.199 --> 02:10:05.119
Got to be careful, awfully careful.

2225
02:10:05.359 --> 02:10:08.640
I will poisoned. Isn't easy to cover up, Carol. They'll

2226
02:10:08.640 --> 02:10:10.399
find it in a second if they ever get suspicious.

2227
02:10:10.399 --> 02:10:13.960
Now listen, I'll send the certificate over this morning. If

2228
02:10:13.960 --> 02:10:17.319
nobody gets curious during the next week, I think we'll

2229
02:10:17.359 --> 02:10:20.359
be safe, all right, But we mustn't be seen together

2230
02:10:20.439 --> 02:10:22.720
under any circumstances. I don't want you even to telephone

2231
02:10:22.720 --> 02:10:23.920
me if you can possibly help it.

2232
02:10:24.399 --> 02:10:27.600
Okay, Okay, that's all that.

2233
02:10:29.479 --> 02:10:30.279
Good luck, Darling.

2234
02:10:40.760 --> 02:10:42.920
Hello Evans, Well, hello Miles.

2235
02:10:42.960 --> 02:10:45.520
How are you a little puzzled at the moment? But

2236
02:10:45.640 --> 02:10:46.600
I drop in for a minute.

2237
02:10:46.640 --> 02:10:47.600
I certainly have a chair.

2238
02:10:47.920 --> 02:10:48.279
Thanks.

2239
02:10:49.239 --> 02:10:53.760
It's about Cameron and hit a rather distressing experience. Oh,

2240
02:10:53.960 --> 02:10:56.560
I've been their family doctor for some time. Of course,

2241
02:10:57.319 --> 02:11:00.359
I didn't know missus Cameron before she married John s Ago,

2242
02:11:00.399 --> 02:11:03.399
but I've always thought her a rather charming person.

2243
02:11:03.600 --> 02:11:09.319
But she seems to be Yes, you know pretty well, Paul,

2244
02:11:10.279 --> 02:11:12.159
well naturally in attending her husband.

2245
02:11:12.399 --> 02:11:17.079
Of course, do you think she's a woman of character? Yes, yes,

2246
02:11:17.119 --> 02:11:21.560
I'd say so, so would I. Mis Lucinda Withers, however,

2247
02:11:21.640 --> 02:11:25.880
seems to think she's a murderous That's what does that mean?

2248
02:11:26.560 --> 02:11:29.640
I don't know. The woman was completely confusing, a lot

2249
02:11:29.640 --> 02:11:34.239
of rambling, disconnected remarks that seemed to imply that you

2250
02:11:34.439 --> 02:11:36.119
and missus Cameron were in love.

2251
02:11:36.680 --> 02:11:40.640
Well, as you said, Miss Withers seems to be confused.

2252
02:11:40.920 --> 02:11:43.479
Yes, and I just think, Paul, that you ought to

2253
02:11:43.520 --> 02:11:46.359
do something about Miss Withers. You know as well as

2254
02:11:46.399 --> 02:11:48.039
I that this sort of thing can ruin you.

2255
02:11:56.920 --> 02:12:02.159
Hello, Hello Carol. Yes, listen, darling, you've got to get

2256
02:12:02.159 --> 02:12:05.039
with us out of town. Yeah.

2257
02:12:05.079 --> 02:12:06.720
I know it'll make it look worse, but it's the

2258
02:12:06.760 --> 02:12:11.279
only thing we can do. Now, where's a family I know, Well,

2259
02:12:11.279 --> 02:12:15.319
that's good. Tell us she needs a rest anything. I

2260
02:12:15.479 --> 02:12:18.600
know it sounds crazy, but it's better than sitting around

2261
02:12:18.600 --> 02:12:20.199
waiting for the axe to fall.

2262
02:12:21.560 --> 02:12:22.760
Well, that's it.

2263
02:12:23.479 --> 02:12:24.199
Good luck, darling.

2264
02:12:32.159 --> 02:12:34.520
You're walking on thin ice, Paul.

2265
02:12:34.880 --> 02:12:37.479
You can almost hear it cracking under your feet, and

2266
02:12:37.520 --> 02:12:40.960
it seems to be getting thinner. The funeral on Thursday,

2267
02:12:41.119 --> 02:12:45.279
then Friday, Saturday, and the cinders still in town. Carol

2268
02:12:45.439 --> 02:12:48.159
was right, It only made it worse to try and

2269
02:12:48.199 --> 02:12:51.439
get her to leave. You're just waiting now. It's only

2270
02:12:51.479 --> 02:12:55.399
a matter of time. And then bright and early Monday morning.

2271
02:12:55.920 --> 02:12:59.279
Oh doctor, I'm Willard Stevens. How do you do? I'm

2272
02:12:59.279 --> 02:13:00.279
afraid I mean.

2273
02:13:00.439 --> 02:13:04.239
John Cameron's cousin flew out from New York. I see,

2274
02:13:04.600 --> 02:13:07.439
I have a rather delicate problem on my hands. I

2275
02:13:07.439 --> 02:13:11.479
hope you'll understand. I'll try to But John's death, I

2276
02:13:11.520 --> 02:13:13.479
had a letter from him indicating he planned to make

2277
02:13:13.520 --> 02:13:17.039
certain changes in his will, arrived just a day or

2278
02:13:17.039 --> 02:13:18.199
two before he died.

2279
02:13:19.039 --> 02:13:22.119
Does that suggest anything to you?

2280
02:13:22.159 --> 02:13:22.199
Know?

2281
02:13:22.640 --> 02:13:25.920
I'm afraid it doesn't. You naturally ascribed his death to

2282
02:13:26.000 --> 02:13:28.000
his heart condition. Yes, naturally.

2283
02:13:28.720 --> 02:13:31.640
I realize it would be embarrassing for me to contest

2284
02:13:31.760 --> 02:13:36.319
your diagnosis. I'm hoping you'll work with me, and in

2285
02:13:36.439 --> 02:13:40.039
what I had to talk with Miss Withers the night

2286
02:13:40.119 --> 02:13:40.680
I arrived.

2287
02:13:40.680 --> 02:13:44.359
He's a meddlesome old fool. Oh how did you know?

2288
02:13:45.000 --> 02:13:48.640
Dr Miles told me? Does that answer your question? It

2289
02:13:48.680 --> 02:13:51.079
answers that question. I assume you have others.

2290
02:13:51.159 --> 02:13:54.119
Indeed I have, and I'm afraid doctor, there's only one

2291
02:13:54.119 --> 02:13:55.000
way to answer them.

2292
02:13:55.359 --> 02:13:55.760
What's that?

2293
02:13:56.520 --> 02:14:07.159
An exhumation and an autopsy.

2294
02:14:08.520 --> 02:14:11.560
So that's it, Paul. It's all over, isn't it.

2295
02:14:12.239 --> 02:14:15.239
The autopsy will undoubtedly be tomorrow, and after that, of

2296
02:14:15.279 --> 02:14:16.479
course there'll be a trial.

2297
02:14:17.479 --> 02:14:19.920
The next decision is easy, isn't it.

2298
02:14:19.920 --> 02:14:22.479
It would be useless to try and run away, would

2299
02:14:22.479 --> 02:14:25.840
never lead to anything. You and Carol could never find

2300
02:14:25.880 --> 02:14:29.600
happiness with an axe hanging over your heads. So the

2301
02:14:29.640 --> 02:14:33.439
next day, during the autopsy, you sit at home quietly

2302
02:14:33.520 --> 02:14:36.359
in the chair by the phone, waiting for it to ring.

2303
02:14:38.800 --> 02:14:43.079
Hello, Hello, darling, it's the autopsy over.

2304
02:14:43.159 --> 02:14:47.000
Yes, waiting downstairs to take me to the corner's office

2305
02:14:47.000 --> 02:14:50.560
for the report. Now listen to me, Paul, would you

2306
02:14:50.640 --> 02:14:52.199
do me a favor anything?

2307
02:14:52.319 --> 02:14:52.600
Carol?

2308
02:14:52.640 --> 02:14:54.279
Will you leave now?

2309
02:14:55.640 --> 02:14:56.159
What do you mean?

2310
02:14:56.279 --> 02:14:58.000
Look, if it's going to happen, there's no reason for

2311
02:14:58.039 --> 02:14:59.960
it for happening to both of us.

2312
02:15:00.039 --> 02:15:04.039
About the most ridiculous thing you ever said. Go with them, Carol.

2313
02:15:04.600 --> 02:15:08.279
I'll be down there in the how Carol, there's only

2314
02:15:08.319 --> 02:15:11.279
one thing in the world right now, and when that's gone,

2315
02:15:12.239 --> 02:15:13.479
I don't want to be here anymore.

2316
02:15:14.600 --> 02:15:15.960
I hope you'd say that.

2317
02:15:16.199 --> 02:15:18.800
You keep your chin up, darling. I'll see you in

2318
02:15:18.800 --> 02:15:39.119
an hour. Yes, I'm doctor Evans. Oh he is this way.

2319
02:15:41.000 --> 02:15:43.840
All right, Lieutenant, there he is.

2320
02:15:43.960 --> 02:15:45.880
Make him admitted. He's in love with her.

2321
02:15:46.039 --> 02:15:46.800
It's been going on.

2322
02:15:47.000 --> 02:15:50.800
I said, just a minute, how about that, doctor.

2323
02:15:50.640 --> 02:15:52.000
It's written all over his face.

2324
02:15:52.239 --> 02:15:53.159
He's in love with her?

2325
02:15:53.279 --> 02:15:56.079
All right? All right, I am in love with missus Cameron.

2326
02:15:56.399 --> 02:15:56.800
So what.

2327
02:16:07.199 --> 02:16:09.359
The Whistler will return in just a moment with a

2328
02:16:09.399 --> 02:16:14.880
strange ending to tonight's story. Meantime, all of the people

2329
02:16:14.880 --> 02:16:18.000
in the Signal Oil Company, as well as Signal dealers

2330
02:16:18.600 --> 02:16:22.279
and we of the Whistler cast, wish you a very

2331
02:16:22.359 --> 02:16:26.560
merry Christmas and a new year brim full of good health,

2332
02:16:27.159 --> 02:16:29.399
good cheer, good luck.

2333
02:16:30.880 --> 02:16:32.280
And now back to the Whistler.

2334
02:16:47.719 --> 02:16:50.840
So you stand there, Paul, shouting to the high heaven

2335
02:16:50.959 --> 02:16:53.520
that you're in love with Carol. With all of them

2336
02:16:53.520 --> 02:16:57.479
clustered around here like vultures, it doesn't seem to matter anymore,

2337
02:16:57.600 --> 02:17:00.959
doesn't in spite of your love for Carol. Well, you

2338
02:17:01.000 --> 02:17:04.120
know that sooner or later, your sense of responsibility would

2339
02:17:04.159 --> 02:17:07.520
have forced you to tell the whole story. There's a

2340
02:17:07.559 --> 02:17:11.479
long silence, and then the police lieutenant slowly walks over

2341
02:17:11.559 --> 02:17:13.760
to Lucinda Withers.

2342
02:17:13.959 --> 02:17:15.360
All right, missus Withers.

2343
02:17:15.079 --> 02:17:16.920
Now that we're all here, maybe you'll tell us why

2344
02:17:16.920 --> 02:17:18.360
you tried to frame missus Cameron.

2345
02:17:18.520 --> 02:17:21.639
Hi, who, I don't know what you're talking about.

2346
02:17:22.319 --> 02:17:24.760
On April fifth, you bought one hundred grains of fire

2347
02:17:24.879 --> 02:17:27.680
silent the black and white farmercy on a farrel street ride. Hi,

2348
02:17:28.440 --> 02:17:31.399
I did no such thing, Sion Evelin Jones on the registers,

2349
02:17:32.000 --> 02:17:32.559
says the woman.

2350
02:17:32.600 --> 02:17:35.159
Mister Thorston, that's the woman, and I make a practice

2351
02:17:35.200 --> 02:17:37.799
of remembering the faces of people who buy poison.

2352
02:17:38.559 --> 02:17:40.799
Excuse me, I think i'd like to sit up.

2353
02:17:41.159 --> 02:17:44.799
Sure, doctor, take a chair over there, now, Miss Withers,

2354
02:17:45.760 --> 02:17:48.879
Why did you try to frame missus Cameron? Why did

2355
02:17:48.879 --> 02:17:50.799
you put poison in the medicine you knew she had

2356
02:17:50.840 --> 02:17:51.319
to give him.

2357
02:17:51.440 --> 02:17:52.079
I didn't.

2358
02:17:52.319 --> 02:17:56.239
I didn't do lie to me. Now, what did you

2359
02:17:56.319 --> 02:17:57.079
do with the battle?

2360
02:17:57.239 --> 02:17:58.479
I didn't do anything with it.

2361
02:17:58.799 --> 02:17:59.479
I left it in.

2362
02:17:59.440 --> 02:18:02.840
The Oh you did have the bottle.

2363
02:18:02.920 --> 02:18:04.079
Huh?

2364
02:18:04.159 --> 02:18:06.600
Why did you try to frame missus Cameron?

2365
02:18:07.200 --> 02:18:08.559
Why did you try to frame her?

2366
02:18:08.639 --> 02:18:09.520
She killed him.

2367
02:18:09.840 --> 02:18:11.760
She killed him just as surely as if she.

2368
02:18:11.719 --> 02:18:13.680
Said if she put the poison in the bottle instead

2369
02:18:13.680 --> 02:18:13.840
of you.

2370
02:18:13.959 --> 02:18:14.520
That's it, isn't it.

2371
02:18:14.760 --> 02:18:16.520
She didn't love him, she never didn't.

2372
02:18:16.719 --> 02:18:17.680
He was as good as that.

2373
02:18:17.879 --> 02:18:19.079
So you thought you had finish the job.

2374
02:18:19.120 --> 02:18:22.040
And hanging around her neck, lieutenants, I must see missus Cameron.

2375
02:18:22.040 --> 02:18:23.879
Where is she in the next room?

2376
02:18:23.959 --> 02:18:29.399
Lying down? Go ahead, Doctor Evans, h Miss Withers, I'm

2377
02:18:29.399 --> 02:18:31.000
gonna take this all down right.

2378
02:18:32.120 --> 02:18:35.399
Caroline, you're looking for missus Cameron, Yes, the lieutenant said

2379
02:18:35.479 --> 02:18:36.000
Dr Evans.

2380
02:18:36.120 --> 02:18:36.719
Yes, I am. Well.

2381
02:18:36.760 --> 02:18:37.760
Missus Cameron's gone.

2382
02:18:37.760 --> 02:18:39.239
But she asked me to give you a message, and

2383
02:18:39.280 --> 02:18:40.959
she said she was waiting for you at the French

2384
02:18:41.000 --> 02:18:42.360
restaurant on Washington Street.

2385
02:18:42.440 --> 02:18:43.440
She said you'd know the place.

2386
02:18:43.479 --> 02:18:58.920
Oh, yes, thank you, I know the place, Carol, Oh, cal.

2387
02:19:00.239 --> 02:19:00.479
Paul.

2388
02:19:01.319 --> 02:19:03.760
Here it is the same table as before.

2389
02:19:04.000 --> 02:19:06.040
And we said it would never happen again.

2390
02:19:06.200 --> 02:19:09.280
Yes, the nerve of us saying what will and won't happen?

2391
02:19:09.319 --> 02:19:10.079
We were fools.

2392
02:19:10.239 --> 02:19:13.319
I was the fool thinking all the time that you'd

2393
02:19:13.399 --> 02:19:14.280
kill I know, but.

2394
02:19:14.399 --> 02:19:16.479
You had every reason when I think how I acted

2395
02:19:16.520 --> 02:19:17.280
after it happened, But.

2396
02:19:17.280 --> 02:19:18.879
I thought it was you.

2397
02:19:18.879 --> 02:19:21.040
You gave me his prescription that morning, and an hour

2398
02:19:21.079 --> 02:19:23.239
after I gave it to him, he was dead.

2399
02:19:23.559 --> 02:19:26.159
We were both wrong. It was Lucinda who killed him.

2400
02:19:26.200 --> 02:19:27.079
She thinks she did.

2401
02:19:27.600 --> 02:19:29.360
They say they'll have a better case against her if

2402
02:19:29.399 --> 02:19:31.680
they let her confess it first before they tell her.

2403
02:19:32.040 --> 02:19:34.920
Tell her what, Paul, When you brought the new prescription

2404
02:19:35.040 --> 02:19:37.920
that morning, the old bottle was still half Paul, and

2405
02:19:38.000 --> 02:19:40.200
that's the one she put the poison in. That's the

2406
02:19:40.200 --> 02:19:43.000
way it happened, Paul. You see, You see, Darling, I

2407
02:19:43.079 --> 02:19:46.120
used the new bottle the night he died. That's why

2408
02:19:46.120 --> 02:19:47.319
I was so sure you did.

2409
02:19:47.520 --> 02:19:50.159
The prescription was perfectly all right. There was nothing it was,

2410
02:19:50.200 --> 02:19:52.280
of course it was. I was so sure he was

2411
02:19:52.319 --> 02:19:53.319
poisoned though symptoms.

2412
02:19:53.360 --> 02:19:55.600
Cinda was lying, Paul about the burning in his throat

2413
02:19:55.639 --> 02:19:56.200
and the cramps.

2414
02:19:56.239 --> 02:19:58.760
Don't you see then The autopsy was okay. There was

2415
02:19:58.799 --> 02:20:01.239
no matter, no, there was there is no murder, Paul.

2416
02:20:02.040 --> 02:20:06.040
You see, Darling, your diagnosis was correct. John died of

2417
02:20:06.159 --> 02:20:09.360
natural causes. Just as you said on the certificates.

2418
02:20:29.360 --> 02:20:32.719
Let that whistle be your signal for the Signal Oil program.

This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.

2434
02:21:34.559 --> 02:21:39.920
Well, my dear, we've made it. It's getting so dark,

2435
02:21:41.120 --> 02:21:44.840
but that, of course is because it gets darkest before

2436
02:21:44.879 --> 02:21:48.600
the light. So I think it's time for you to
