Unknown Broadcast | Four Old-Time Radio Horror Stories of Missing Men and Mute Fate

Unknown Broadcast | Four Old-Time Radio Horror Stories of Missing Men and Mute Fate
Unknown Broadcast — old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, and vintage radio mystery drift into the Weekly Spooky feed again… and this one is packed with vanishings, fatal coincidences, and the kind of doom that arrives right on schedule.

Tonight’s broadcast contains four tales:
  • 🕯️ “The Man is Missing” — A routine look turns into a cold realization: someone was here… and now they’re gone. When the search begins, the truth won’t stay put—shifting from clues to contradictions, from certainty to dread.
  • 🚢 “A Shipment of Mute Fate” — A ship in port, a whispered warning, and a voyage that feels pre-written. The ocean doesn’t care what you planned… it only cares what it’s collecting.
  • ✈️ “Death Flies Blind” — LaGuardia. A flight. A sudden turn into a high-altitude nightmare where every decision costs more than it should—and the ground is far, far away.
  • 🛣️ “A Law of Physics” — A rain-slick road, a tightening sense of inevitability, and a simple rule of the universe that becomes something else entirely: a trap with perfect logic.

If you love classic radio suspense, old-time radio thrillers, and vintage horror audio where the twist arrives like a closing door—this episode is for you.

Some nights the stories don’t end… they just stop talking—like they’re waiting for you to fill in what happens next.

00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:16.239
Ah, so good to see you again, my dear. How

2
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:24.120
are you well? I'm just just just fine. No worries here,

3
00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:33.719
although sometimes I find myself considering the dark, not just

4
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:38.520
where it's hard to see, but where there's a true

5
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:44.240
lack of light. Sometimes I worry that at the end

6
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:50.240
of a long, dark, pitch black corridor, what I'll find

7
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:57.119
at the end is a mirror hanging there facing me,

8
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:03.320
And as I look into it, I realize the man

9
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:05.400
is missing.

10
00:01:07.519 --> 00:01:31.280
CBS Radio Mystery Theater Presents.

11
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:32.400
Come in. Welcome. I'm e G. Marshall.

12
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:36.319
How old were you when you first said I'm going

13
00:01:36.359 --> 00:01:38.359
to run away and you'll never see me again, and

14
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.040
then you'll be sorry. Everyone has said it so, Some

15
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:44.760
did not say it out loud. Some have run and

16
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.319
returned the same day, Some have never got round or

17
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:51.439
running at all, and some have run and stayed away.

18
00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:54.599
It is one of these who gives us the title

19
00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:55.319
of our story.

20
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:57.239
The man is missing.

21
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.799
The letters get smaller, pressure of the pen gets lighter,

22
00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:04.079
the lines get thinner.

23
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.960
Man is not well. Are you sure?

24
00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:12.800
Tees aren't crossed in a few places, see the loops

25
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:18.560
aren't completed. Perhaps he's not sick. Perhaps he's only hysterical,

26
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:23.800
or perhaps perhaps he's mad.

27
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:36.479
Our mystery drama The Man Is Missing was written especially

28
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.879
for the Mystery Theater by Elspeth Eric and stars Anne

29
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:44.120
Williams and Larry Haynes. It is sponsored in part by

30
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:48.520
Buick Motor Division and contact the twelve hour Code capsule

31
00:02:49.520 --> 00:03:03.680
I'll be back shortly with Act one. Within the huge

32
00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:06.479
New York City Police Department, there's a small coterie of

33
00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:10.599
men who wear no uniforms. They are the investigative Detectives.

34
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.319
They have one captain, one lieutenant, and five sergeants.

35
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.240
They receive about one hundred calls every day.

36
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:21.800
Out of sixteen thousand cases, they have solved better than

37
00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:27.199
ninety nine percent. They are known as the Missing Persons Squad.

38
00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.879
I looked up and there she was back again. I

39
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:35.759
told her, and told her over and over, But there

40
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:39.560
she was, same bright smile, same eager look, like she

41
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:41.719
knew I could do something and she was just hanging

42
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:45.319
around waiting for me to do it. My name's Wiley

43
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.000
Caldwell and I'm captain of the Missing Persons Squad.

44
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:50.120
Good job, I like it.

45
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:53.080
We know I stopped if I didn't say so myself,

46
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.800
as perhaps I shouldn't run away kids. We handle a

47
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:01.360
lot of those, and old people, the ones who get

48
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:04.439
tired of feeling useless and unwanted and just wanted r off.

49
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:06.120
We get a lot of those two.

50
00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:11.360
However, as she was back for the emptyenth time to

51
00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.439
ask me for the empty time to find her.

52
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.160
Husband, Captain Caldwell, May I talk.

53
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:19.879
To you, missus McLachlin. Why don't you call me here?

54
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:22.879
We know each other pretty well by.

55
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:26.720
Now that we do, so call me me here, please,

56
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:28.040
okayre But.

57
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:29.079
The answer is the same.

58
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:33.199
We've checked the fires, we called them Morgue, Lawrence McLoughlin,

59
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:35.959
either place. So he's not in jail, he's not in

60
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:38.600
the hospital, he's not dead. What more do you want?

61
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:42.160
But where is he? Out there somewhere?

62
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:44.319
Can't you look for him?

63
00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:45.800
Is he under eighteen?

64
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:46.600
Of course not?

65
00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:48.680
Is he over sixty five?

66
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:50.240
He's twenty nine?

67
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:53.399
Ah well, then even if we could locate him, we

68
00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:54.680
couldn't do anything about it.

69
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:56.000
We couldn't bring him in.

70
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.800
Why couldn't you because we would.

71
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:03.079
Be violating his civil right, you understand, Unless, of course

72
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:05.759
he's mental, then we could take him.

73
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:08.519
Is he is he mental?

74
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:09.319
Off his rocker?

75
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:10.920
R out of his mind.

76
00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:14.639
No, all right, then we can't touch him. I know

77
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:17.600
it's hot on you, but I must break the news. There,

78
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.920
husband's run off all the time. Is Lawrence Saiven don

79
00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:23.160
the vanishing act of form?

80
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:23.720
Certainly?

81
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:23.800
Not?

82
00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:27.639
All right, Bobby, You'll never do it again, provided, of course,

83
00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:30.680
he comes back. Now you run a wrong home and

84
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.439
wait to hear from him. Okay, I have heard from him.

85
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:36.800
You have he sent me some money?

86
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:40.079
Well, then you're all set. But he doesn't say where

87
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.399
he is, what he's thinking of? You didn't or he

88
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.199
wouldn't be sending you the money, would he. You see,

89
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:49.519
he's worried about you. He loves you. You're his wife.

90
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:53.959
He loves you. So why you don't know where he is? Oh?

91
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:55.639
Please Captain call her? Please?

92
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:58.079
I know you can find him for me if you

93
00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:00.000
just try.

94
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:01.439
You're a missing person since.

95
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.319
Larry is missing, and I want you to find him.

96
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.639
If I can't you, I want.

97
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:11.000
You right all right now, quick quick crying. Hell's gonna

98
00:06:11.040 --> 00:06:11.639
do any good?

99
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:12.120
You know that?

100
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:16.279
All right? I stopped crying. And why won't you help me?

101
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:17.720
I'll tell you what.

102
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.040
I'm going to turn you over to one of our detectives.

103
00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:24.399
Ben Chase, his name is. He's a very nice man,

104
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:26.279
very fatherly tight.

105
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:28.319
You like him, Can.

106
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:30.680
You tell him all about your missing spouse and maybe

107
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:35.199
he can take her something? I'll let be Okay, Okay,

108
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:37.600
then come on this way.

109
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:38.399
He's right in here.

110
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.480
Uh, ben, I got a lady here I want you

111
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:42.839
to meet.

112
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:45.319
This is Mia McLaughlin.

113
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:46.000
Maya.

114
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.360
This is Detective Benjamin Chase. Take care of the little

115
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:49.920
lady Benner.

116
00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:57.079
She was the prettiest thing I've ever seen in my

117
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:03.040
whole life. Skin like pink and white alabaster, dark brown hair,

118
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:06.160
with a shine to her big round eyes, the exact

119
00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:10.279
same color as the blue jeans she had on. It

120
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:14.519
was like Spring had just walked through the door, and me,

121
00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:19.319
fifteen eight years old, I'm then Chase, Detective third Grade

122
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.839
Missing Persons Squad. I was a patrolman for fifteen years.

123
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:25.399
Then I did a hitch with public morals for a

124
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.839
short time, and then somebody smiled on me and I

125
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:32.480
landed here. What a swell job. I mean, here is

126
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.759
where you really get the feeling you're helping people.

127
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:38.199
Please find my husband.

128
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:40.839
Your husband's missing? Is that it?

129
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:43.959
Yes? And don't tell me about a civil rights.

130
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:47.879
I want to know where he is well. We could

131
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.360
probably locate them, but we couldn't make him come back

132
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:51.639
to you.

133
00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:53.480
I just want to know where he is.

134
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:58.639
We can check the files hospitals.

135
00:07:58.639 --> 00:07:59.399
Oh he's alive.

136
00:07:59.439 --> 00:07:59.800
I know that.

137
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:03.920
I don't think he's sick. See I got this from

138
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:04.600
him this morning.

139
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.360
Oh you got a letter from him? It had money

140
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:09.199
in it. Okay, if I take a look at it.

141
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.199
Sure, look look it was mail right here in New York.

142
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:15.720
You can tell me the postmark. Oh yeah, yuh mind

143
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:22.480
if I read it. I don't mind, Darling Mia, I

144
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:27.519
thought you might be sure to cash love Larry Well,

145
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:29.759
I'll say, now this sounds like he thinks the world

146
00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:31.800
of you. But what are you so worried about it?

147
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:32.480
He'll come back?

148
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:33.759
But where is he?

149
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:36.159
What happened to missus? Mclauliny.

150
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:38.440
You can call me me or if you want to.

151
00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:41.399
Husbands do get this urge once in a while, to

152
00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:44.440
you know, take off, be on their own for a while.

153
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:48.480
Not just husbands. See the wives get it too. I

154
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:52.200
have to say, I can't see why anyone would go

155
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:55.519
off and leave a lovely girl like you.

156
00:08:56.200 --> 00:08:59.440
Well, he did you.

157
00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:02.720
You do know you're very pretty, don't you? I guess

158
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:03.960
you guess, don't you know?

159
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:08.440
I'm a model, photographer's model. You have to have some

160
00:09:08.519 --> 00:09:09.360
kind of looks for that.

161
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.480
I guess if you've got more than some kind of looks, yea,

162
00:09:14.159 --> 00:09:16.919
thank you a lot more. Look.

163
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:19.679
Can you help me find Larry?

164
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:21.600
Well, I can try.

165
00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:24.240
I can't sleep, I can't eat, I can't go out

166
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:25.879
on a job. I just think about him all the

167
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.360
time and what could have happened to him?

168
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.840
Yeah, well, I'd have to do it on my own,

169
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:34.600
you understand. I mean, it wouldn't be an official police case,

170
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:38.320
and it'll take a lot of legwork a lot of

171
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:41.279
time too, and I don't have too much free time.

172
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:44.159
I don't know if my wife will care for my

173
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:46.120
taking on any outside work.

174
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:47.000
Are you married?

175
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:48.120
Oh? Oh am?

176
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:48.960
I married?

177
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:51.840
Twenty five years married is what I am. So I

178
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:54.679
know about husbands getting the urge to take off? Did

179
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:56.879
you ever do it? Oh? No, no, no, no I

180
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:00.039
never did. But that doesn't mean I never had the urage. No.

181
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:03.519
I'm married to a wonderful woman. Irma is about the

182
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:10.000
best wife anybody could imagine. But well, I've had urges now,

183
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:11.200
and then you're.

184
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:13.840
Very nice to try to help me.

185
00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:17.080
Yeah, listen, you mind if I take this and globe home.

186
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:19.360
With me, No, take it if it'll help.

187
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:22.679
And the note inside, Can I take that too.

188
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.720
Yes, but don't lose it. I want it back.

189
00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:30.360
Oh, you'll get it back, all right, It's all I've got,

190
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:33.360
all right, all right, I don't cry. We'll find them,

191
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.480
that is, I'll find them, I hope. So yeah, Now

192
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:40.639
I got to run along home. Irma will be wondering

193
00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:43.000
what happens to me, And we don't want her to

194
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:45.799
think that she's got a missing husband, not do we.

195
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:53.759
I'm Irma Chase, fifty two years old, married twenty five

196
00:10:53.919 --> 00:10:58.039
years to Benjamin Chase, Detective, third class, husband, first class

197
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.679
all the way. We've never had children, but we never

198
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:03.600
really needed children to bring us together.

199
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:07.360
We were together from the start. Oh.

200
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:10.039
There have been times a few of them when I

201
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:12.320
felt that Ben's eye was roving.

202
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:14.200
And that he'd kind of like to rove with it.

203
00:11:14.840 --> 00:11:16.679
He didn't know that I know about those times, and

204
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:18.600
I wouldn't let him know that I know, because he'd

205
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.639
feel terrible if he thought he'd hurt me in any

206
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:21.120
way at all.

207
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:26.200
He's just that kind of man. And at fifty two.

208
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:27.879
My waist is a good bit thicker than it was

209
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:30.639
when I married him, and the hair has gray in it,

210
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:33.840
and I almost have a double chin unless I remember

211
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:39.080
to stand right. So when he came home that night, herma, yeah,

212
00:11:40.399 --> 00:11:41.960
well you don't say.

213
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:44.960
I'd never get all right, don't be fresh, just okay.

214
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:48.799
Now your beer's next to your chair, and there's some

215
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:50.879
good cheese to go with a really sharp cheddar.

216
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:52.679
You're a great girl. Of course.

217
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:53.039
I am.

218
00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:59.399
There a little late tonight, aren't you. Yeah, yeah, well

219
00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:02.679
what happened and a girl came into the office, see

220
00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:05.399
that is Captain Caldwell brought her in, turned her over

221
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:08.600
to me. Seems she's been bothering him for quite some time.

222
00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:12.519
Missing husband, Oh one of those Yeah, he's been missing

223
00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:16.720
for some time. Anyway, Coldwell checked the files the morgue,

224
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:19.200
didn't come up with anything, but Na kept coming back,

225
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:23.320
coming back. Na. Yeah, that's her name, Lia McLachlan. Anyway,

226
00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:25.279
I talked to her as she showed me this note

227
00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:27.639
she got from him. It was mailed right here in

228
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:30.720
the city and there was money in it. He wrote

229
00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:33.559
a note. Yeah, yeah, sounded very concerned about her having

230
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:36.480
some money. I'd like to see that note. M Are

231
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:38.679
you still hung up on that stuff.

232
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:43.080
Okay, okay, you know you can't blame me if I

233
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:44.360
try to be part of your work.

234
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:48.480
Oh can you? Or do you? I should say? If

235
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:50.320
you'd rather but out, just say the word.

236
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:54.600
I'd like to remind you that Rafael Sherman, oh please

237
00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.159
not a Rafael Sherman was attached to the Crackout Police

238
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:00.600
Force from the start of the century to a nighteen hundred.

239
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.759
Please you've got Rafael Sherman on the brain.

240
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:07.519
Rafael Sherman started collecting envelopes when he was a little boy.

241
00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:10.960
Well so did I when I was a little girl.

242
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:12.879
I never played with dogs.

243
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:18.360
I just looked at handwritings on envelopes, fascinating all different,

244
00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:23.879
some beautiful, some ugly, and everything in between. And like

245
00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:26.440
with Sherman, after a while, I started to find things

246
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:30.159
that some handwritings had in common. And when I knew

247
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:33.879
the people those handwritings belonged to, I found out that

248
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:34.919
those people.

249
00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:36.159
Had certain things in common too.

250
00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:42.120
Then people with heart trouble write differently from people without

251
00:13:42.159 --> 00:13:46.840
heart trouble. But the psychological differences, that's where it gets

252
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:51.279
really interesting. You can read a person's whole personality in

253
00:13:51.279 --> 00:13:54.960
his handwriting, his whole life, then everything that's happened to him.

254
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:58.240
You really expect me to believe that Sherman could do it?

255
00:13:58.679 --> 00:13:59.679
He did it over and over.

256
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:01.240
They did it for the police.

257
00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:04.600
I don't say that I'm as good as Sherman, but

258
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:07.000
I did know something about it.

259
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:12.679
Okay, okay, take a look at this, thank you? Well

260
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:20.639
say anything? This man is sick. What look?

261
00:14:20.679 --> 00:14:24.200
The letters get smaller. You see the pressure of the

262
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:29.399
pen gets lighter, the lines get thinner. No, no, wait,

263
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:33.440
maybe he's not sick. Maybe he's only hysterical.

264
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:49.279
Well, maybe maybe he's mad. Rafiel Sherman had no peers

265
00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:49.879
in his day.

266
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:54.080
After him came Michael Fischer and the French clairvoyant Madame

267
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:56.679
Lucy v d. And among the medical men who have

268
00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:00.480
used graphology to ferret out cruise to mental or physical ailments,

269
00:15:00.840 --> 00:15:05.480
we find eerlen Meyer, Hauser, Dupatie Jeans and Charcot, famous

270
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:06.919
head of the parasol pictrieer.

271
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:09.399
I'll be back shortly for that too.

272
00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:23.840
Captain Wiley, called Well of the Missing Persons Squad, has

273
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:27.399
been bothered by repeated visits from Mia McLaughlin begging him

274
00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:29.799
to locate her husband, who has disappeared.

275
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:31.799
Wiley has turned.

276
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:35.120
The girl over to Ben Chase, Detective third grade. Ben

277
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:39.559
shows the note to his wife Irma. Irma aspiring graphologist

278
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:44.200
deduces from the calligraphy that MIA's husband is sick, hysterical,

279
00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:50.879
or even mad. Did I know what I was doing

280
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:53.360
when I turned that dumb little chick over to Ben Chase?

281
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:56.879
I thought, of course he'd feed her alive, maybe pick

282
00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:00.879
up a close some player from some connection words, get

283
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:04.000
her off my back. Also, there was always a chance

284
00:16:04.039 --> 00:16:07.480
that her husband would show up, a very good chance,

285
00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:10.679
because she was a very neat little dish. The fact

286
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:13.480
I felt sure that my friend Ben had not overlooked entirely.

287
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:17.799
Now I'm a friend of Ben's, and I also know

288
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:20.960
his wife, Bremma, a marvelous woman.

289
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:21.440
I is.

290
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:25.759
I thought a little interference for me on her behalf

291
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:29.679
wouldn't be a miss Yeah, yeah, I.

292
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:35.399
See, that's all you can tell me missus does Yeah, yeah,

293
00:16:35.440 --> 00:16:39.919
well it's something anyways, fight.

294
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:47.080
Who's missus Downe's oh her? Yeah, huh oh, well, actually

295
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:49.679
she's me his mother, Leah mclaughlan's mother.

296
00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:52.399
That's so yeah. I thought maybe she could give me

297
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.720
a lead to go on the Gina. Now, she says

298
00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:58.240
they got a long grade. He was crazy about her.

299
00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:02.519
Seems he wanted to be a serious type painter, gave

300
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:04.720
it up and went the commercial art right after they

301
00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:08.039
got married. Maybe he regretted it. Well, me as a model,

302
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:11.839
you know, That's how they met. He he was living

303
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:16.400
in this artist colony upstate in the Catskills, Brayden Falls.

304
00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:19.319
You've heard of it, where all the artists stopped together.

305
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:22.519
Yeah, anyway, Nea was a model up there for one summer.

306
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:26.039
She posed for him for nothing. She was even broken

307
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:29.799
than the others. They fell in love and they got married.

308
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:32.880
He went with an ad agency. She became a fashion model.

309
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:37.920
Everything was hunky dorry till he cut out. And her

310
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:41.559
mother hasn't got the foggiest idea. Why have you? No,

311
00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:46.079
I can't say I have white anyone want to leave

312
00:17:46.119 --> 00:17:52.240
a girl like Mia? Of course, Irma says, I don't

313
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:55.359
put any stock in that. What is Ima saying? Well,

314
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:59.079
I don't know if you know this, captain, but Irma's

315
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:03.240
very into this graphology stuff. I didn't know that now.

316
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:07.960
Oh yeah, she practically worships a guy named Rafael Shermann.

317
00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:11.519
He's an Austrian. He's dead now, but he was official

318
00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:14.880
handwriting expert for the Central Law Court of Vienna when

319
00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:17.920
he was alive. What's wrong with that? Nothing's wrong with that?

320
00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:21.960
But outside his regular job he had this hobby. Yeah,

321
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:25.839
it was more more like an obsession that he could

322
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:28.640
read people's characters from their handwriting, and not only that,

323
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:31.599
but the past and their future. Now can't you tee that?

324
00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:34.400
It sounds interesting? And before he died people said he

325
00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:38.920
could tell a person looked just by his handwriting. Yeah. Well, anyway,

326
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:41.480
I showed Irma the note Na got from a husband.

327
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:45.079
It was only a line or two, and Irma learned

328
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:47.559
onto it like it was a hot clue. I mean,

329
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:49.599
she set the handwriting told her that the guy is

330
00:18:49.640 --> 00:18:52.079
sick or hysterical or.

331
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:56.000
Maybe even crazy. She saw all that, she thinks she

332
00:18:56.200 --> 00:19:00.559
saw all that. What if he's right? Would explain a

333
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:02.960
lot without it? If the guy had lost his marbles?

334
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:05.319
On was a crazy man doesn't send money?

335
00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:06.039
Old captain?

336
00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:09.640
How would you know what a crazy man does? Why

337
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:12.400
don't you admit the possibility that AMA's got something there?

338
00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:13.519
Butt?

339
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:15.799
I help you now, I'm doing it all right? Now

340
00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:17.839
you're not? Are you waiting to see? Okay?

341
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:18.200
Ben?

342
00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:19.000
Okay?

343
00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:23.039
One more thing you're spending too much time on it.

344
00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:26.000
I won't call to the girl's mother. You made that

345
00:19:26.039 --> 00:19:29.720
from here, unofficial time. That girl's been here almost every

346
00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:33.920
day talking to you, artificial time. The way you look,

347
00:19:34.039 --> 00:19:36.119
you've been spending an awful lot of your off hours

348
00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:36.640
on the case.

349
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:40.319
Two, am I right? Quite a lot. Yeah, we'll put

350
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:41.319
it out. I don't like it.

351
00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:44.839
I don't think your wife cares too much more in either,

352
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:49.319
I was.

353
00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:51.599
Shook up when the captain walked out. Part of what

354
00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:54.319
he said was true. I was spending a lot of

355
00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:57.680
time trying to locate me his husband. I'd gone down

356
00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:00.000
to the Art Students League and talked to the teacher

357
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:02.640
down there. A lot of them remembered them from the

358
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:07.039
olden days. Nice Holliday all said, big strong, very outgoing,

359
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.160
no sign of any kind of ailment, no instability, certainly,

360
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:14.960
no signs of being demented. But so much for what

361
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:20.200
Irma thought she saw on his handwriting, Irma, what about Emma?

362
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:23.720
What was our last crack? The captain had made about

363
00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:27.079
in not liking the hours I was giving to the case,

364
00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.000
and Irma not liking it either. She hadn't said she

365
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:32.720
didn't like it. She hadn't raised any objections. She was

366
00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:36.319
too busy going over that little scrap of paper. But

367
00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:41.000
if I didn't find them soon, was she going to

368
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:45.400
begin to wonder the hell I was beginning to wander myself.

369
00:20:46.759 --> 00:20:48.200
Just like that. I made up my mind I was

370
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:50.519
going to take myself off the case. I should never

371
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:52.880
have taken it on in the first place. I'm crazy

372
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:56.720
about my wife. I had my mind all made up

373
00:20:56.759 --> 00:20:58.880
to tell me I was letting go of the case.

374
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:03.799
She walked in. Hello, Ben, oh, hi, Hi, Hi the man. Yeah,

375
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:05.799
sit down, I want to talk to you about.

376
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:08.880
Is gats and Cole Wroll mad at me about something?

377
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:11.000
Well, it's get mad exactly, and not at you.

378
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:13.319
Oh look look what I got this morning.

379
00:21:13.640 --> 00:21:14.839
Other letter.

380
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.920
Yeah, this one had money in it too, Okay, ridd it.

381
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:22.759
Sure it's about the same as the first one.

382
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:25.799
Oh yeah, yeah, so I see.

383
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:29.079
Only look where it's mailed from.

384
00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:33.319
Braiden Falls. That's where we met Larry and me. Yeah. Yeah,

385
00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:37.680
tell me about Braiden Falls.

386
00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:42.920
Well, it's a very romantic place in the mountain.

387
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:47.359
Sometimes, certain times a day the mountains turned blue and purple.

388
00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:51.400
Oh that's beautiful. And then there's the falls.

389
00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:53.079
Yeah, yeah, braidy falls.

390
00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:58.000
They come tumbling down from way higher. Fish match. Some places,

391
00:21:58.039 --> 00:22:01.119
you can't hear what people are saying. Falls is so loud.

392
00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:03.400
It's just beautiful.

393
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:07.440
Larry and I used to go on picnics, eat sandwiches

394
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:08.920
and stuff and listen to the falls and.

395
00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:11.400
Make love.

396
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:17.960
Why do you suppose he went up there? Not just

397
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:18.839
the mail and a letter.

398
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:23.880
I think I think he went there because it's where

399
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:25.319
we were so happy.

400
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:30.200
He wanted to remember how it was at first, and.

401
00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:33.440
You weren't so happy later on. Is that it? Oh?

402
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:38.279
We had fights, not very many, not very often, just sometimes.

403
00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:40.640
Well when what about? Do you mind telling me? Oh?

404
00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:41.240
I don't know.

405
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:45.279
I never knew everything would be going along just fine,

406
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:48.000
and then all of a sudden we'd be arguing.

407
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:51.200
I wouldn't know why.

408
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:55.599
I just know that I was losing, losing, losing what

409
00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:57.440
the argument?

410
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:01.160
It was going to turn out? He was right and

411
00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:05.240
I was wrong every single time.

412
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:11.440
Yeah, look, Miah, I might as well tell you I was.

413
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:13.119
I was.

414
00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:16.640
I was going to give up upon this case. Not fine, Well,

415
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:19.200
it isn't official business, and it's taken up a lot

416
00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:23.039
of time. But you have to well this, uh, this

417
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:26.359
note from Braiden Falls. I had a follow up on that.

418
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:29.680
You mean go up to Braiden Falls and look for him?

419
00:23:30.559 --> 00:23:33.799
Than yes, yes, well to mars my day, I'll go

420
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:34.359
with you.

421
00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:36.799
Well, well, I can show you around all the different

422
00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:38.720
places and in the falls.

423
00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:40.359
For Larry and I used to go for picnics.

424
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:43.200
Oh, your wife wouldn't mind, would she?

425
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:50.359
That little piece of paper hadn't been out of my

426
00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:53.880
sight for days. I picked it up from time to time,

427
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:55.880
and now and then I got what I hoped were

428
00:23:55.920 --> 00:24:00.279
flashes of illumination. Other times I sat down with it

429
00:24:00.359 --> 00:24:03.240
under a good light and let my unconscious mind just

430
00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:07.640
play with it. It's a tricky thing, the unconscious mind,

431
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:10.400
much trickier than anyone imagines.

432
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:17.359
I'm uh, I'm home, good, be right there. Where's my beer?

433
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:19.400
I'm getting it? I really need it.

434
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:22.119
Do you have a hard day?

435
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:22.400
Yes?

436
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:27.279
Sort of? Well, drink your beer. There's yours. I don't

437
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:29.240
want any where you going on a wagon or something.

438
00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:31.079
No, I just.

439
00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:36.000
Want to keep my mind clear. Psychographology is a very

440
00:24:36.039 --> 00:24:42.920
exacting work. Psycho what psychographology? What Raphael Shechrmann did, what

441
00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:46.160
I'm trying to do? Analyzing people from their handwrit.

442
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:46.960
Are you still doing that.

443
00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:49.160
Of course I am, and don't try to stop.

444
00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:52.759
I'm not trying to stop you. Wiley Carlo says I

445
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:55.680
should encourage you. I don't know if I can go

446
00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:56.200
that far.

447
00:24:56.279 --> 00:24:58.039
Captain Coldwell did.

448
00:24:57.880 --> 00:25:02.759
That, Yeah, I totally You said Larry McLachlan might be psychotic,

449
00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:04.839
and he said you could be right. Of course, he

450
00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:06.880
doesn't know any more about it than I do or

451
00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:07.319
you do.

452
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:11.039
I'm beginning to know more all the time. Pretty soon

453
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:11.559
I may.

454
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:13.920
Be able to give you a pretty accurate description of

455
00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:14.279
the man.

456
00:25:14.359 --> 00:25:16.839
Forget it, I can't, Wiley takes. I'm putting in too

457
00:25:16.880 --> 00:25:19.960
much time on the case. It's not official business.

458
00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:19.759
You know.

459
00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:20.920
But you can't stop now.

460
00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:22.200
I got nothing to go on.

461
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:23.759
May let me help you.

462
00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:26.880
Well, I give it a couple more days, just long

463
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:30.079
enough to track down one more clue. It might mean something.

464
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:31.599
What what clue?

465
00:25:31.720 --> 00:25:34.920
Well? Mia brought this in today. It's another note from

466
00:25:34.920 --> 00:25:38.640
her husband. Let me see. Yeah, there was money in

467
00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:40.680
this one too. Doesn't sound like a man who's fed

468
00:25:40.759 --> 00:25:44.039
up with his wife. According to Missus Downs, McLachlan was

469
00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:46.720
crazy about his wife. Who's missus down me his mother?

470
00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:49.920
She says, McLachlan gave up being a serious artist so

471
00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:52.960
he could support his wife. Oh, by the way, you'll

472
00:25:53.000 --> 00:25:55.880
notice that the note was mailed from Braden Falls. That's

473
00:25:55.920 --> 00:25:58.880
the artist's colony place up in the mountains. Well, the

474
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:02.400
McLachlan's met there and fell in love there. Mia did

475
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:07.880
some modeling for him, and I thought that since tomorrow

476
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:11.240
is my day off, I would go up there.

477
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:12.920
Mm hmm.

478
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:19.079
Yeah. Take a look around, h and Mia is going

479
00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:19.480
with me.

480
00:26:20.519 --> 00:26:20.960
Mm hmm.

481
00:26:21.799 --> 00:26:27.000
That all right with you? Do look at that free down.

482
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:28.920
I put the letter down and listen to me.

483
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:31.079
What are you still mad?

484
00:26:31.160 --> 00:26:32.880
I tell you I'm going off of the day with

485
00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:35.559
a young girl, a young attractive girl, And you've got

486
00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:38.039
no objection my day off, my one day off, the

487
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:39.799
day we go to the beach or the movies or

488
00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:41.720
do something special. I'll tell you I'm going off to

489
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:43.519
the mountains with a young girl used to be.

490
00:26:43.480 --> 00:26:44.720
A marvel And you don't care.

491
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:46.440
Then I was right.

492
00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:49.880
The person who wrote this letter has something wrong with it.

493
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:52.440
Lung, What are you talking about? For Pete's saying some

494
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:55.119
kind of respiratory disease, trouble with his breathing.

495
00:26:55.160 --> 00:26:58.079
Now look look here, Now you see the little pauses

496
00:26:58.119 --> 00:26:59.039
in the writing.

497
00:26:58.799 --> 00:27:02.480
Pauses to see I can see them that they were

498
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:05.640
in the other note too, but I wanted to be careful.

499
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:08.799
I wanted to be sure. And here they are again.

500
00:27:10.039 --> 00:27:12.720
It is if every so often he had to stop

501
00:27:13.240 --> 00:27:16.240
and lean on his pen, take a little rest before

502
00:27:16.279 --> 00:27:16.720
he goes on.

503
00:27:18.440 --> 00:27:21.880
Oh, Ben, give me a little more.

504
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:24.279
Time, and I'll be able to tell you all about

505
00:27:24.319 --> 00:27:25.839
the person who wrote this note.

506
00:27:33.720 --> 00:27:36.559
A violin in the hands of an average person will

507
00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:40.079
have an ordinary sound. The notes may all be correct,

508
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:43.279
the stops, all, the proper length, the speed and volume

509
00:27:43.319 --> 00:27:47.079
all is prescribed. But the same violin in the hands

510
00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:50.759
of an artist will take on the quality of real music.

511
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:55.079
Such is the power and the sensitivity of the human hand.

512
00:27:56.240 --> 00:27:57.440
I'll be back shortly with that.

513
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:08.240
Three.

514
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:13.480
Psychographology is a fairly recent word. It describes the process

515
00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:16.759
by which character and personality can be deduced from the

516
00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:20.960
analysis of handwriting. Irma Chase has been attempting such an

517
00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:24.400
analysis from two notes written by the missing husband of

518
00:28:24.440 --> 00:28:28.039
Mia McLaughlin. Among other things, she has inferred that the

519
00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:31.559
writer of the notes is emotionally unstable and has some

520
00:28:31.599 --> 00:28:35.200
sort of trouble with his breathing. She has not tried

521
00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:37.440
to keep her husband from using his day off to

522
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:40.519
travel to a place called Braden Falls, high in the mountains,

523
00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:44.000
accompanied by the young girl in search of the missing man.

524
00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:52.240
Maybe I shouldn't have, but it in I thought Ben

525
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:54.759
Chase was a good man, a good cop for a

526
00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:55.480
fine record.

527
00:28:56.160 --> 00:28:57.720
As far as I know, he was a good husband.

528
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:00.880
Though I've met Ama Chase a few times, been to

529
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:03.839
their house, they've been to mine. All I can say

530
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:07.920
she seemed like a happy woman, very content with the life.

531
00:29:08.599 --> 00:29:10.000
Seems she had this interest.

532
00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:14.720
In what she called psychographology, almost an obsession according to Ben.

533
00:29:15.640 --> 00:29:19.319
But what was a harmonids? Actually there might be a

534
00:29:19.319 --> 00:29:21.599
lot of good in it. Anyway.

535
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:23.480
When I'm a Chase called and said she wanted to

536
00:29:23.480 --> 00:29:25.799
come in and talk to me. I said, come.

537
00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:31.000
Ahead, How are you worry? I'm fine, said I What

538
00:29:31.000 --> 00:29:31.319
can I do?

539
00:29:32.519 --> 00:29:33.759
I don't exactly know?

540
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:37.559
Maybe nothing is it about Ben?

541
00:29:38.200 --> 00:29:38.440
Well?

542
00:29:39.319 --> 00:29:43.000
Yes, mostly he went off this morning with that young

543
00:29:43.079 --> 00:29:44.079
girl near.

544
00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:48.200
Something or other. They went up to Braydon Falls together.

545
00:29:49.960 --> 00:29:51.880
I don't think you got a thing to worry about,

546
00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:55.599
you don't. She's a very pretty young girl. But I

547
00:29:55.640 --> 00:29:59.240
know Ben, I don't think he's really interested in it

548
00:29:59.240 --> 00:30:01.720
and gone the Aden Falls because that's where the girl's

549
00:30:01.759 --> 00:30:02.880
husband wrote his last note.

550
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:05.119
I know I've seen the note. Matter of fact, I've

551
00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:05.680
got it with me.

552
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:08.400
There's a chance the man might be in Baiden Falls

553
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:11.079
and they've gone there to check it out. Then I'll

554
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:12.759
be back by to night. Don't worry about that.

555
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:18.440
Oh, I'm not worried about that. No, you're not what

556
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:22.960
you Riley. You know I'm interested in graphology. Yeah, Ben

557
00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:23.480
said something.

558
00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:26.440
I've been studying these two notes from Larry McLaughlin and

559
00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:27.799
I've come up with a few things.

560
00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:29.960
Is it all right if I tell you about them?

561
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:33.480
Of course? Smah, I charge you. I got an open mind.

562
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:34.279
Now.

563
00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:36.759
The first thing that started to emerge was that whoever

564
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:41.839
wrote those notes is emotionally unbalanced, maybe psychotic.

565
00:30:42.240 --> 00:30:43.119
Ben told me about that.

566
00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:45.839
The second thing which I got from the second note

567
00:30:46.359 --> 00:30:48.319
is that the writer has trouble breathing.

568
00:30:49.160 --> 00:30:51.559
Now, I'm not going to go into how I deduced that.

569
00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:55.039
You wouldn't understand it anyway, You're probably right there. Now

570
00:30:55.519 --> 00:30:59.440
I've come up with something else. Well, come on, let's

571
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:00.480
have it, Wiley.

572
00:31:00.599 --> 00:31:04.319
I could be wrong, but I've got a strong intuition

573
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:08.920
that the person who wrote those two notes has criminal tendencies.

574
00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:21.359
I said, criminal tendencies? What the direction of these criminal tendencies?

575
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:25.039
Thank them? And can you tell I.

576
00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:26.920
Don't like to say it because I'm afraid you're gonna laugh.

577
00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:33.279
Whoever wrote those notes is capable of murder.

578
00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:40.480
You could be wrong, I could be right, yes, And

579
00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:43.279
if I'm right, Ben and that girl are up at

580
00:31:43.279 --> 00:31:45.920
braden Falls tracking down a man who is capable of

581
00:31:46.000 --> 00:31:48.680
killing and they don't know it.

582
00:31:53.359 --> 00:31:56.240
Braiden Falls isn't even a whistle stop. It's not on

583
00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:59.720
a railroad at all. Nia and I arrived on the

584
00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:03.359
bi We were the only ones getting off. The center

585
00:32:03.400 --> 00:32:06.880
of town has a filling station, a grocer, butcher, stationary

586
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:10.559
store in a nice green parlor. That's about all but

587
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:13.279
tucked away in the mountains or all kinds of houses,

588
00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:18.000
from large cabins to quantcert huts. We strolled around talking

589
00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:21.599
to the artists who lived in those houses. Nobody had

590
00:32:21.680 --> 00:32:25.240
seen or heard from Larry McLachlan, so a lot of

591
00:32:25.279 --> 00:32:28.400
them remember them pretty well. We planned to take the

592
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:31.400
four o'clock bus back to the city when Mia got

593
00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:34.519
this idea of climbing one of the mountains up to

594
00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:37.519
where the falls had their origin. She said, there was

595
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:40.920
spectacular at that height, and we had nothing to do

596
00:32:41.079 --> 00:32:45.880
till the bus arrived. So yeah, beautiful, all right?

597
00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:48.440
Huh the four beautiful?

598
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:52.839
Didn't I tell you? See? How how much fun?

599
00:32:52.960 --> 00:32:53.079
Oh?

600
00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:53.720
Not not far?

601
00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:56.799
If you are no, No, I'm fine.

602
00:32:57.319 --> 00:33:00.799
Well let's sit down for it anyway.

603
00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:07.200
Okay, Oh long, a couple of sandwiches there, some ginger ale.

604
00:33:08.319 --> 00:33:10.160
Well I hope it's still cold.

605
00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:13.920
Oh great, great, you're quite a girl.

606
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:17.640
Oh you think so?

607
00:33:17.880 --> 00:33:21.200
Yeah, yeah I do. If I was a little bit younger,

608
00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:24.000
twenty or thirty years younger.

609
00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:27.920
You'd do what?

610
00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:28.839
What would you do?

611
00:33:29.440 --> 00:33:32.960
Well, okay, I guess i'd make a pass at.

612
00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:35.240
Here?

613
00:33:35.880 --> 00:33:36.720
You take your samuch?

614
00:33:36.720 --> 00:33:40.960
Would you mind? Would I mind what you're making a pass?

615
00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:46.079
Yes, i'd mind very much.

616
00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:52.720
Well, I'm so sorry. I know I'm much too old.

617
00:33:53.519 --> 00:33:57.119
It isn't that. Oh you're thinking about your husband? At

618
00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:00.000
you you're thinking about Larry. I'm sorry I should have realized,

619
00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:03.880
I said, I guess you associate this place with him. Huh.

620
00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:07.599
We used to come here for picnics.

621
00:34:07.680 --> 00:34:10.960
Yeah, you know, I'm really sorry. We couldn't pick up

622
00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:13.679
a clue here. They must have come here just for

623
00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:15.519
the day. Mailed the letter and left.

624
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:18.440
Mary and I used to used to have our picnics

625
00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:21.840
up at the top. Let's walk up there.

626
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:29.320
Okay, okay, that's and I hope you forgive me being fresh.

627
00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:30.199
That's all right.

628
00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:34.400
You're a very pretty girl. I suppose a lot of

629
00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:39.000
man to touch you that, huh. Just a lot of

630
00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:46.360
them made passes at you. Am I right? Sure, sure,

631
00:34:46.559 --> 00:34:47.239

632
00:34:47.320 --> 00:34:48.079

What h We're almost there.

00:34:52.199 --> 00:34:56.159
Oh wait until you see the falls.

635
00:34:56.199 --> 00:34:59.559
But they come out of the walk, great huge burst

636
00:34:59.599 --> 00:34:59.920
of walk.

637
00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:01.719
Hm.

638
00:35:03.199 --> 00:35:05.679
It has as though they couldn't wait to get out.

639
00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:07.880
They've been pushing and.

640
00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:14.320
Pushing, and then they fall out and down into the gorge,

641
00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:18.440
hitting all the rocks on the way, splashing off of.

642
00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:22.800

00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:23.199
Why are you okay? Yeah? Okay? Well where's the girl?

675
00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:26.599
She's still up there, she's out of her head that

676
00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:30.360
how do you too happy to be here? Or you

677
00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:31.039
had a feeling?

678
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:31.119
Me?

679
00:37:31.880 --> 00:37:33.239
Well, that is your wife had a feeling.

680
00:37:33.760 --> 00:37:38.760
Look look over there? What well between your two big

681
00:37:38.840 --> 00:37:40.880
rock wedged in between?

682
00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:44.079
It's somebody.

683
00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:47.320
It's somebody body of a man who you.

684
00:37:48.840 --> 00:37:54.000
Think it's yeah, must be it has to be her husband.

685
00:37:55.320 --> 00:38:01.440
A missing that yeah, And.

686
00:38:01.519 --> 00:38:06.519
It was of course poor Larry McLaughlin's body caught between

687
00:38:06.559 --> 00:38:08.440
two dragged boulders.

688
00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:13.360
Almost at our feet. Ben and Wiley rested.

689
00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:15.880
For a while, then between them they got the body out.

690
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:19.239
The police picked it up later, and they picked up the.

691
00:38:19.199 --> 00:38:20.159
Girl, Mia too.

692
00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:26.360
She was wandering about the mountain top, very sweet and

693
00:38:26.599 --> 00:38:31.360
very vague. Ben had been cut badly by the rocks.

694
00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:34.719
The three of us met the next day in his

695
00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:35.559
hospital room.

696
00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:38.840
I should have known all along.

697
00:38:38.960 --> 00:38:41.760
It was a woman's handwriting. And you were right on

698
00:38:41.840 --> 00:38:45.440
two other points. She's psychonic and she's a madriss. Hey,

699
00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:49.119
you were right about the respiratory trouble too, you know,

700
00:38:49.199 --> 00:38:51.719
climbing up there. She's the one how to stop and rest,

701
00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:53.679
they said at the satitarium.

702
00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:56.280
She doesn't remember anything about pushing her husband off the

703
00:38:56.400 --> 00:38:58.679
ledge or pushing you Ben either.

704
00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:01.199
Why why would she do it?

705
00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:02.320
Well?

706
00:39:02.320 --> 00:39:06.800
According to her handwriting, little miss McLaughlin is a very

707
00:39:06.840 --> 00:39:07.760
frigid lady.

708
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:12.679
You can really see that, I think so.

709
00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:16.960
She hated men like poison, especially men who were attracted

710
00:39:17.000 --> 00:39:23.119
to her, like her husband, like like me.

711
00:39:24.880 --> 00:39:29.679
Well, yeah, you know, I sort of. It wasn't anything,

712
00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:32.800
you know, when we were climbing up there, just before

713
00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:35.880
we got to the top. Nothing happened. You understand absolutely nothing.

714
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:36.639
I swear.

715
00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:38.159
Well, I.

716
00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:44.719
Said something. I admit that, something about making a pass

717
00:39:44.800 --> 00:39:47.599
at her that I'd like to something like that. But

718
00:39:47.639 --> 00:39:50.480
that's all I mean it. That's really all, just enough

719
00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:54.599
to Maga hagia, enough to kill you. Yeah, the what

720
00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:57.559
on earth gave it to you? The inspiration that drive

721
00:39:57.719 --> 00:39:58.800
ups up Braydon Fall.

722
00:40:01.639 --> 00:40:04.440
While studying the second note, I thought I could see

723
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:07.079
signs of a criminal personality.

724
00:40:07.719 --> 00:40:10.159
I figured I should tell Wiley, and you believed that.

725
00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:13.079
I half believed that enough to drive up here and

726
00:40:13.119 --> 00:40:13.559
sell ya.

727
00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:15.960
Of course, neither of us knew Mia had written the

728
00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:18.880
note herself. We thought we were protecting you from her husband.

729
00:40:19.199 --> 00:40:24.199
From her. Will she ever be in shape to stand trial? Rennie?

730
00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:27.199
If she ever remembers what she's done? Do you think

731
00:40:27.239 --> 00:40:27.599
she might?

732
00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:28.920
Yes, she might.

733
00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:32.320
That won't make you say that. Well, look at this.

734
00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:36.239
This is the second envelope, how she addressed this to herself.

735
00:40:36.280 --> 00:40:43.119
You see, Mia McLaughlin, take a good look. So don't

736
00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:44.039
you notice anything?

737
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:47.800
Why don't you looks okay to me?

738
00:40:48.239 --> 00:40:50.400
Compare it with the first one. Look at the m

739
00:40:50.519 --> 00:40:52.800
in Mia, may see how it starts.

740
00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:54.440
At the left. Yeah, yeah, what they both do know.

741
00:40:55.519 --> 00:40:58.119
The second one has a short stroke at the start

742
00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:01.119
that goes from right to left, then shifts and goes

743
00:41:01.159 --> 00:41:05.400
into the m. Now she started to write something else

744
00:41:05.440 --> 00:41:09.320
and then changed. She started to write an.

745
00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:13.519
E E for Emma. Emma, Why Emma?

746
00:41:14.320 --> 00:41:18.920
And there's a real her given name. I called her

747
00:41:18.920 --> 00:41:23.480
mother last night. You see, she was trying without knowing.

748
00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:27.199
She was trying to get back to her real self.

749
00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:31.840
If she succeeded, the chances.

750
00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:33.599
Are she'll remember everything she did.

751
00:41:34.920 --> 00:41:41.719
And she'll go on trial for murder. This is a

752
00:41:41.840 --> 00:41:43.599
very nice place where I'm staying.

753
00:41:44.559 --> 00:41:48.679
I have my own room, and everyone is very kind.

754
00:41:49.800 --> 00:41:52.719
They ask a lot of questions, but they're very kind,

755
00:41:55.079 --> 00:42:02.559
too kind. Maybe there's one man, and I don't like

756
00:42:02.639 --> 00:42:05.719
the way he looks at me. I don't like it

757
00:42:05.800 --> 00:42:13.320
one bit. He pe tries to get fresh. Oh I

758
00:42:13.360 --> 00:42:17.079
didn't tell you I'm Nea McLachlan.

759
00:42:19.280 --> 00:42:31.840
Anyway, I think that's who I am.

760
00:42:32.119 --> 00:42:36.280
We've accomplished prodigious feats in outer space, invaded the Moon

761
00:42:36.840 --> 00:42:39.480
and discovered what it's made of. Now we're on our

762
00:42:39.480 --> 00:42:42.320
way to entering the planets and finding out how they

763
00:42:42.320 --> 00:42:45.199
are put together. Outer space will one day be as

764
00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:49.239
familiar as our own lakes and prairies. But what of

765
00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:55.000
inner space, the space of man's mind. Despite many hints

766
00:42:55.000 --> 00:42:59.239
and cruise, it is still in the main and alien land.

767
00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:12.559
I'll be back shortly.

768
00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:20.000
No one would be so foolish as to suggest that criminals,

769
00:43:20.199 --> 00:43:24.079
actual or potential, can be detected solely by the use

770
00:43:24.119 --> 00:43:28.800
of psychographology. But the way things are progressing these days,

771
00:43:29.559 --> 00:43:34.360
progressing backwards, it sometimes seems law enforcement needs all the

772
00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:39.119
help it can get. Our cast included Larry Haynes, Anne Williams,

773
00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:43.920
Ralph Bell, and Terry Keane. The entire production was under

774
00:43:43.920 --> 00:44:11.519
the direction of Hymon Brown. Until next time, pleasant.

775
00:44:36.800 --> 00:44:42.440
My dear, another cup of hot tea something to warm

776
00:44:42.559 --> 00:44:46.719
you up. It's always nice when it comes from the

777
00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:53.960
inside out. What's that well? I suppose we'll have to

778
00:44:54.039 --> 00:44:59.800
wait and find out, But I suppose all will be revealed.

779
00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:04.599
I can't say I'll be losing any sleeps, but then again,

780
00:45:06.239 --> 00:45:11.960
I don't know. The waiting is the hardest part, Like

781
00:45:12.079 --> 00:45:16.760
waiting on a shipment of mute fate.

782
00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:25.280
Tired of the everyday routine ever, dream of a life

783
00:45:25.320 --> 00:45:29.639
of romantic adventure, want to get away from it all.

784
00:45:30.239 --> 00:45:37.960
We offer you Escape, Escape, designed to free you from

785
00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:40.599
the four walls of today for a half hour of

786
00:45:40.920 --> 00:45:47.320
high adventure. Escape brought to you by your Richfield Gasoline

787
00:45:47.360 --> 00:45:51.119
Dealer and the Richfield Oil Corporation of New York. Marketers

788
00:45:51.119 --> 00:45:55.159
of Richfield Gasolines with Xylene, rich Loop, All Weather Motor

789
00:45:55.199 --> 00:45:58.840
Oil and other famous petroleum products. Look for the Richfield

790
00:45:58.880 --> 00:46:00.639
Egal on the cream blue pumps.

791
00:46:13.000 --> 00:46:17.719
Tonight, we escaped to a tropic harbor in Venezuela and

792
00:46:17.880 --> 00:46:21.480
the story of a grim voyage of impending death which

793
00:46:21.519 --> 00:46:25.199
started from there. As Martin Storm tells it in his

794
00:46:25.320 --> 00:46:29.239
exciting story, a shipment of mute fate.

795
00:46:40.920 --> 00:46:43.400
I stopped on the wharf at Laguirer looked up at

796
00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:46.920
the gang plank toward the liner Chang Kay, standing there

797
00:46:46.960 --> 00:46:50.039
quietly or her mornings. The day was warm under a

798
00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:52.719
bright tropic sun, and the harbor beyond the ship lay

799
00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:55.920
drowsy and silent. But all at once, in the midst

800
00:46:55.960 --> 00:47:00.079
of those peaceful surroundings, a cold chill gripped me of

801
00:47:00.119 --> 00:47:02.519
it with sudden dread. Dread of the thing I was

802
00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:05.920
doing and was about to do. Too much had happened

803
00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:08.320
to turn back? Now I'd gone too far to stop.

804
00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:10.920
I set the box down on the edge of the wharf,

805
00:47:11.119 --> 00:47:13.119
placed it carefully so as to be in plain sight

806
00:47:13.400 --> 00:47:17.320
and within gunshot of the Captain's bridge, and I turned

807
00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:19.760
and started up the glend plank. I knew what I

808
00:47:19.800 --> 00:47:22.159
was going to do. I couldn't forget that a certain

809
00:47:22.199 --> 00:47:24.559
pair of beady eyes were watching every move I made,

810
00:47:25.079 --> 00:47:28.159
eyes that never blinked and never closed, just watched and

811
00:47:28.239 --> 00:47:29.440
made it.

812
00:47:29.719 --> 00:47:33.960
Oh, sir, I didn't. Oh likes mister Warner.

813
00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:36.239
Hello, mother Willis. I was the best looking stewardess on

814
00:47:36.280 --> 00:47:36.920
the Seven Seas.

815
00:47:36.960 --> 00:47:40.440
Oh I'm I'm fine, mister Warner. It's nice to see

816
00:47:40.480 --> 00:47:40.880
you again.

817
00:47:40.920 --> 00:47:43.400
Wait a minute, that's a fine greeting after two months.

818
00:47:43.480 --> 00:47:45.400
Well, it's just that I'm so busy.

819
00:47:45.559 --> 00:47:48.079
Oh, don't believe a word of it. Sailing days tomorrow.

820
00:47:48.199 --> 00:47:49.559
You're simply avoiding me, that's all.

821
00:47:49.639 --> 00:47:51.599
Oh no, no, really, I'm on the trip.

822
00:47:51.360 --> 00:47:53.519
Down from New York. You said I was your favorite passage,

823
00:47:53.519 --> 00:47:54.480
but I'm over here.

824
00:47:54.519 --> 00:47:55.800
What's that you're carrying in your apron?

825
00:47:55.840 --> 00:47:59.840
Oh it's nothing, it's just supplies supply.

826
00:48:00.519 --> 00:48:03.440
Let's have a look. Oh no, please, ah, Why it's

827
00:48:03.480 --> 00:48:04.000
a cat.

828
00:48:04.320 --> 00:48:07.119
It's Clara, mister Warner, mister Bowman said I had to

829
00:48:07.199 --> 00:48:08.760
leave her ashore, but I just couldn't.

830
00:48:09.000 --> 00:48:10.880
Who's mister Bowman, the new chief steward.

831
00:48:11.480 --> 00:48:13.400
Clara has been aboard with me for two years and

832
00:48:13.480 --> 00:48:15.760
I just can't leave her here in a foreign country,

833
00:48:16.320 --> 00:48:18.519
especially with her conditions so delicate.

834
00:48:18.639 --> 00:48:18.840
Now.

835
00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:22.239
Ah, yes, sir, I see what you mean. Well, I

836
00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:23.039
hope you get away with it.

837
00:48:23.239 --> 00:48:25.719
You won't tell anyone, not a soul.

838
00:48:26.760 --> 00:48:28.800
Matter of fact, Mother willis. If I don't get my

839
00:48:28.840 --> 00:48:30.719
way with the Captain, you and I may both end

840
00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:31.400
up smuggling.

841
00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:40.400
I was happy to have had your board on the

842
00:48:40.400 --> 00:48:43.480
trip down two months ago. Christopher. I'm very glad you're

843
00:48:43.519 --> 00:48:45.320
coming along with us on the run back to New York.

844
00:48:45.360 --> 00:48:48.159
Thanks Captain. Would There is one thing, though, I'm having

845
00:48:48.199 --> 00:48:50.639
a little trouble with the customs man here, and I

846
00:48:50.880 --> 00:48:51.480
wondered if.

847
00:48:51.559 --> 00:48:53.800
They can't do it, Christopher. I just cabled your father

848
00:48:53.840 --> 00:48:55.360
this morning, told him I'd have done it for you

849
00:48:55.400 --> 00:48:57.480
if I possibly could. He sent a request from New York.

850
00:48:57.519 --> 00:48:59.880
You know, yes, I thought he would. I wired him

851
00:48:59.880 --> 00:49:00.880
from up river last week.

852
00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:02.880
All I hated to refuse, but it's absolutely out of

853
00:49:02.880 --> 00:49:03.280
the question.

854
00:49:03.679 --> 00:49:05.239
Kavin, what I'm afraid I don't follow you.

855
00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:09.280
Responsibility to the passengers, Son, We'll have women and children aboard,

856
00:49:09.559 --> 00:49:11.480
and on a line of the safety of the passengers

857
00:49:11.480 --> 00:49:12.559
comes ahead of anything else.

858
00:49:12.639 --> 00:49:14.960
But with proper precaution, something might happen.

859
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:16.440
I don't know what, but something might.

860
00:49:16.559 --> 00:49:17.719
You've carried worse things kept.

861
00:49:17.800 --> 00:49:20.840
There isn't anything worse, Christopher, and any skipper afloat will

862
00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:24.280
bear me out. Oh. I simply can't take the chance.

863
00:49:25.239 --> 00:49:26.000
And that's final.

864
00:49:28.719 --> 00:49:31.440
Final wasn't final. If I could do anything about it,

865
00:49:32.039 --> 00:49:33.719
I hadn't come down here to spend two months in

866
00:49:33.760 --> 00:49:35.400
that stinking back country and then be stopped on the

867
00:49:35.480 --> 00:49:40.639
edge of the wharf. Two months of it heat, rain, insects, malaria.

868
00:49:41.199 --> 00:49:43.400
I've gone clear in past the headwaters of the Orinoco,

869
00:49:43.719 --> 00:49:46.199
travel through country where every step along the jungle trail

870
00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:52.239
might be the last one. Sanchez, better tell the man

871
00:49:52.280 --> 00:49:54.119
to start looking for a place to camp. Be dark

872
00:49:54.119 --> 00:49:54.679
in a little while.

873
00:49:54.719 --> 00:49:56.800
We see Senor very soon. We turned to the river,

874
00:49:57.119 --> 00:49:59.719
camp on rocks by water. This very bad count.

875
00:49:59.599 --> 00:50:01.519
It's very very bad country. You've been saying that for

876
00:50:01.559 --> 00:50:03.519
ten days now, Very bad country.

877
00:50:03.599 --> 00:50:05.480
Seas and your wonner this is very bad.

878
00:50:05.559 --> 00:50:07.239
God has skipp it, will you? For all the luck

879
00:50:07.239 --> 00:50:09.280
we've had so far, it might as well be Central.

880
00:50:08.960 --> 00:50:10.480
Park, Central Park.

881
00:50:10.880 --> 00:50:13.079
I don't understand, never mind, never mind, But if we

882
00:50:13.119 --> 00:50:18.119
don't find something quick, Yeah, what's the matter? Quiet now, anchus,

883
00:50:18.119 --> 00:50:18.559
what's wrong?

884
00:50:18.639 --> 00:50:19.400
They're in the bath?

885
00:50:19.880 --> 00:50:28.039
See bush Master, bush Master, the deadliest snake in the world.

886
00:50:28.440 --> 00:50:31.960
Bush Master. Its Latin name was Lakisa's mutus mute fate.

887
00:50:32.360 --> 00:50:34.119
It lay there in the center of the path, an

888
00:50:34.199 --> 00:50:37.039
eight foot length of silent death, coiled loosely in an

889
00:50:37.079 --> 00:50:39.760
undulant loop, ready to strike violently at the least movement.

890
00:50:40.840 --> 00:50:42.559
Here was the one snake that would go after any

891
00:50:42.559 --> 00:50:45.840
animal that walked, or any man. It lay there and

892
00:50:45.880 --> 00:50:49.039
watched us, not moving, not afraid, ready for anything. The

893
00:50:49.039 --> 00:50:51.360
splotch of its color stood out like a horribly gaudy

894
00:50:51.480 --> 00:50:54.519
floor mat, lying there on the brown background of the jungle,

895
00:50:54.519 --> 00:50:57.280
waiting for some of the step on it. Here was

896
00:50:57.320 --> 00:51:03.920
what I'd come two thousand miles for a Bushmaster, Sanchez.

897
00:51:04.039 --> 00:51:06.079
I didn't want touch snake kills he not kills, and

898
00:51:06.079 --> 00:51:07.440
you are he gone bushmaster?

899
00:51:07.639 --> 00:51:09.719
Very smart, very quick see bullet in.

900
00:51:09.719 --> 00:51:12.119
Time to dodge anyway is gone, the only one we've

901
00:51:12.119 --> 00:51:13.079
seen in five weeks.

902
00:51:13.159 --> 00:51:15.800
Oh, we find the other this very bad country.

903
00:51:15.840 --> 00:51:18.440
Well, lay off that gun next time. Don't shoot you understand.

904
00:51:18.800 --> 00:51:21.000
Why you say no shoot? You want bush Master?

905
00:51:21.079 --> 00:51:22.360
Sure, but I wanted to lie.

906
00:51:22.800 --> 00:51:25.280
Remember it is a crystal. Then you're worning. You tell

907
00:51:25.320 --> 00:51:27.079
me you want Bushmaster, but you know, say a lie.

908
00:51:27.119 --> 00:51:29.320
You're getting two hundred dollars for it for dead man?

909
00:51:29.360 --> 00:51:32.079
What is two hundred dollars? Tomorrow we go back to Karaka.

910
00:51:32.159 --> 00:51:33.239
I'll make it five hundred sanches.

911
00:51:33.320 --> 00:51:35.679
Hi catch water, snake, rattlesnake, any other kind, but I

912
00:51:35.760 --> 00:51:36.760
know catch bush Master.

913
00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:38.880
We go back to Karaka, Sanchez, I'll give you one

914
00:51:38.880 --> 00:51:46.480
thousand dollars. It cost me fifteen hundred. Three days later,

915
00:51:46.519 --> 00:51:49.480
Sanchez brought me the snake and a rubber bay. He

916
00:51:49.639 --> 00:51:51.239
was shaking so hard I thought for a moment to

917
00:51:51.280 --> 00:51:52.079
think it struck him.

918
00:51:52.199 --> 00:51:54.840
One thing, you make sure sen your one not turn

919
00:51:54.880 --> 00:51:58.039
him loose in Venezuela, because he knows either one who

920
00:51:58.119 --> 00:51:58.760
catch him.

921
00:51:58.880 --> 00:52:00.079
And you know where I live.

922
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:01.559
All right, Sanchez, I'll keep an eye on him.

923
00:52:01.519 --> 00:52:03.639
Dumbie, and he know you pay me to catch him.

924
00:52:04.039 --> 00:52:05.880
All the time. You watch him wit for you too.

925
00:52:06.800 --> 00:52:10.039
You no forget that singer Warner because he no forget

926
00:52:10.599 --> 00:52:11.360
not the ever.

927
00:52:15.599 --> 00:52:17.320
I have to going through all that trouble and danger.

928
00:52:17.360 --> 00:52:19.480
I wasn't gonna let a pig headed ships captain stop

929
00:52:19.519 --> 00:52:22.159
me at the last minute, at least not as long

930
00:52:22.199 --> 00:52:24.679
as the cables were still in operation. Between Laguira and

931
00:52:24.719 --> 00:52:34.679
New York morning, Captain Woulden Boy at the hotel said,

932
00:52:34.679 --> 00:52:35.320
you wanted to see me.

933
00:52:35.639 --> 00:52:40.280
That's right, Christopher, No sit down nice, And it seems

934
00:52:40.320 --> 00:52:42.199
you want willing to let matters stand the way we

935
00:52:42.320 --> 00:52:43.119
left them yesterday.

936
00:52:43.199 --> 00:52:44.960
I'm sorry to go over your head, Captain, but I

937
00:52:45.000 --> 00:52:47.039
had to. The museum sent me all the way down

938
00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:49.159
here fort and I'm not gonna be stopped by red tape.

939
00:52:49.880 --> 00:52:51.880
Don't you realize this will be the only live Bushmaster

940
00:52:51.960 --> 00:52:53.039
ever brought to the United States.

941
00:52:53.159 --> 00:52:58.920
If I had my way orders or orders got a

942
00:52:58.920 --> 00:53:01.960
cable from the head office, this one all right, Suppose

943
00:53:02.000 --> 00:53:03.039
we talk about precautions.

944
00:53:03.039 --> 00:53:03.880
I'll handle it any way.

945
00:53:03.920 --> 00:53:06.159
You say, Now, let's got to have a stronger box

946
00:53:06.199 --> 00:53:07.320
that crates too flimsy.

947
00:53:07.400 --> 00:53:10.000
Stronger than it looks, Captain. That wire's screen on top

948
00:53:10.039 --> 00:53:13.159
it hold a wildcat anyway. I bought a heavy sea

949
00:53:13.239 --> 00:53:16.159
chest this morning. We'll put the crate inside of that h.

950
00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:18.119
And that sounds all right. I got a lock on it,

951
00:53:18.239 --> 00:53:18.960
heavy padlock.

952
00:53:19.199 --> 00:53:20.840
It's fixed so the lid can be propped open a

953
00:53:20.880 --> 00:53:23.480
crack without unlocking it. The snake's gotta have air, you know.

954
00:53:23.559 --> 00:53:25.559
But in dirty weather that lid stays shut. I'll take

955
00:53:25.599 --> 00:53:26.079
no chances.

956
00:53:26.119 --> 00:53:26.599
Fair enough.

957
00:53:26.960 --> 00:53:29.360
We'll keep the thing in my inside cabin where I sleep.

958
00:53:30.000 --> 00:53:32.760
Can't have it in the baggage room, and nobody on

959
00:53:32.800 --> 00:53:33.719
boards to know about.

960
00:53:33.480 --> 00:53:36.559
It, and whatever you say, Captain, but we won't have

961
00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:39.440
any trouble. After all, it's only a snake. Doesn't have

962
00:53:39.440 --> 00:53:41.039
any magical powers.

963
00:53:40.920 --> 00:53:44.639
Eh, you know, Christopher, I saw a bushmaster in the

964
00:53:44.719 --> 00:53:48.079
zoo at Karakas once at it in a glass cage

965
00:53:48.079 --> 00:53:52.239
with double walls. It had never moved, just lay there

966
00:53:52.280 --> 00:53:54.159
and look at you as long as you were in sight.

967
00:53:56.320 --> 00:53:57.280
Give them man, the creeps.

968
00:53:57.679 --> 00:53:59.840
I didn't know they had a bushmaster at the Karakas Zoo.

969
00:54:00.239 --> 00:54:03.800
They don't now on The glass broken one morning and

970
00:54:03.800 --> 00:54:06.639
the snake gone. The night watchman was dead. I never

971
00:54:06.679 --> 00:54:07.599
found out what happened.

972
00:54:08.400 --> 00:54:10.559
The watchmen must have broken the glass by accident.

973
00:54:10.599 --> 00:54:13.119
Some way the way they figured it. The glass was

974
00:54:13.159 --> 00:54:18.400
broken from the inside. We sailed in four hours.

975
00:54:25.320 --> 00:54:28.039
Enter the Caribbean with perfect weather and the sea as

976
00:54:28.039 --> 00:54:31.199
smooth as an inland lake. The barometer dropped a little

977
00:54:31.199 --> 00:54:33.000
on the third day, but cleared up overnight and left

978
00:54:33.000 --> 00:54:36.119
nothing worse than a heavy swell. But in spite of

979
00:54:36.119 --> 00:54:39.159
the calm seas and the pleasant weather, I was becoming

980
00:54:39.159 --> 00:54:43.719
possessed with an ominous anxiety. I was developing an obsessive

981
00:54:43.760 --> 00:54:47.199
fear of that snake. I stayed clear of the passengers,

982
00:54:47.199 --> 00:54:49.679
pretty much got the habit of dropping into Captain Wood's

983
00:54:49.719 --> 00:54:53.119
quarters several times a day. He kept the heavy box

984
00:54:53.199 --> 00:54:56.800
underneath his berth. I'd approached it quietly and shine my

985
00:54:56.840 --> 00:55:00.000
flashlight through the open crake. Never once could I catch

986
00:55:00.199 --> 00:55:04.039
that eight foot devil asleep or even excited. He'd be

987
00:55:04.079 --> 00:55:06.400
lying there, half coiled, his head raised a little, staring

988
00:55:06.440 --> 00:55:11.039
at me with those beady black eyes, waiting. He'd still

989
00:55:11.079 --> 00:55:14.039
be like that when I turn away to leave. Maybe

990
00:55:14.039 --> 00:55:18.039
that's what bothered me, A horrible and constant watchful waiting.

991
00:55:19.280 --> 00:55:21.039
What in the name of heaven was he waiting for?

992
00:55:22.480 --> 00:55:25.559
Well, Hello there, mister Warner, Oh how are you mother

993
00:55:25.599 --> 00:55:28.039
willis my but you and the captain spend an awful

994
00:55:28.039 --> 00:55:30.400
lot of time around this cabin. I'm beginning to think

995
00:55:30.440 --> 00:55:32.280
that two of you must have some guilty secret.

996
00:55:32.960 --> 00:55:35.559
Nah, nothing like that, Mother Willis. I don't know about

997
00:55:35.599 --> 00:55:48.920
Captain would, but I certainly don't have any guilty secret. Well,

998
00:55:49.760 --> 00:55:51.800
he's running quite as swell out there, mister Bumman.

999
00:55:52.039 --> 00:55:54.639
Yeah, it's a little heavy alright. Mister wanna guess the

1000
00:55:54.679 --> 00:55:56.039
storm passed through to the west.

1001
00:55:55.840 --> 00:55:58.000
Of us yesterday when the glass drop think it missed

1002
00:55:58.000 --> 00:55:59.440
this then huh, yeah, that's.

1003
00:55:59.360 --> 00:56:00.360
What the mate gus.

1004
00:56:00.639 --> 00:56:03.280
Sure start up some water though, this will put half

1005
00:56:03.280 --> 00:56:04.440
the passengers in that bunx.

1006
00:56:04.760 --> 00:56:06.199
Makes it great for my department.

1007
00:56:06.440 --> 00:56:06.920
Two thirds.

1008
00:56:06.920 --> 00:56:08.599
I'm gonna want a steward to hold their heads.

1009
00:56:08.639 --> 00:56:11.440
I'll keep Mother will Is so busy. Shit, Hey, look

1010
00:56:11.440 --> 00:56:12.440
at the size of that wave.

1011
00:56:12.639 --> 00:56:15.000
What Rachel husse If not, we're gonna take it on

1012
00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:15.480
the port bow.

1013
00:56:15.559 --> 00:56:25.440
Hang on, Wow, that was a freak. If the river

1014
00:56:25.599 --> 00:56:28.800
was one another wave that size and sight you see

1015
00:56:28.840 --> 00:56:31.960
him like that sometimes even in a calm See, I

1016
00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:33.440
gotta get top side, mister Warner.

1017
00:56:33.800 --> 00:56:35.679
Water probably did some damage on the office's day.

1018
00:56:35.800 --> 00:56:39.239
Yeah, wait a minute, yeah, what did you say?

1019
00:56:39.559 --> 00:56:42.039
The wheal companionway was open on the port side bridge.

1020
00:56:42.079 --> 00:56:45.000
Cabins must have taken a pretty bad smashing. They're right below.

1021
00:56:46.239 --> 00:56:47.480
Something wrong with mister Warner.

1022
00:56:48.480 --> 00:56:52.920
No, I'm nothing at all, mister Bowman, at least I

1023
00:56:52.920 --> 00:57:00.480
hope not. Of course, I knew it was only one

1024
00:57:00.559 --> 00:57:03.639
chance in a thousand. The chances against that freak wave

1025
00:57:03.679 --> 00:57:06.199
were one on a thousand and two. I stumbled up

1026
00:57:06.199 --> 00:57:08.320
the companion way and along the passage to the captain's cabin.

1027
00:57:09.559 --> 00:57:12.280
Oh, come on in, mister Warner, Mother Willis, why isn't

1028
00:57:12.320 --> 00:57:13.119
this cabin a mess?

1029
00:57:13.119 --> 00:57:14.880
I'm trying to get some of these things out to dry.

1030
00:57:15.239 --> 00:57:19.119
Yeah, I just wanted to check. Where's that box that

1031
00:57:19.199 --> 00:57:20.159
was under the captain's bunk?

1032
00:57:20.440 --> 00:57:20.760
All that?

1033
00:57:20.920 --> 00:57:23.159
Well, I just threw it out on deck here what

1034
00:57:23.639 --> 00:57:25.559
pull the desk over there? Slid into it? It was

1035
00:57:25.559 --> 00:57:27.239
all smashed, so the small box inside of it.

1036
00:57:27.239 --> 00:57:27.840
But what happened to it?

1037
00:57:28.119 --> 00:57:28.280
Oh?

1038
00:57:28.320 --> 00:57:33.280
They were both splittered, mister Warner, broke wide open. Oh no, why,

1039
00:57:33.360 --> 00:57:35.639
mister Warner, you're white as a sheet.

1040
00:57:36.400 --> 00:57:40.920
Mother Willis. Will you go find Captain Wood tell him

1041
00:57:40.920 --> 00:57:42.039
to come down here immediately.

1042
00:57:42.199 --> 00:57:44.159
Well, of course, mister Warner, I'll go tell him right

1043
00:57:44.199 --> 00:57:44.519
to wood.

1044
00:57:46.199 --> 00:57:48.159
I pulled open the top drawer of the bureau beside

1045
00:57:48.199 --> 00:57:51.679
me and took out the Captain's flashlight and the loaded pistol.

1046
00:57:53.039 --> 00:57:54.880
Mother Willis had left a mop standing by the door.

1047
00:57:54.880 --> 00:57:56.000
I put my foot on the head of it and

1048
00:57:56.039 --> 00:57:59.920
snapped off the handle. Every move I made turned into

1049
00:58:00.079 --> 00:58:05.159
slow motion. I could hear my own heart beating slowly.

1050
00:58:05.239 --> 00:58:09.280
I started to search the cabin. Sudden heaps of clothing

1051
00:58:09.320 --> 00:58:12.519
were scattered around on the wet, black floor. I punched

1052
00:58:12.559 --> 00:58:14.320
at them one at a time, holding the gun, cocked

1053
00:58:14.719 --> 00:58:16.280
the flashlight, pointing along the stick.

1054
00:58:17.480 --> 00:58:17.800
Nothing.

1055
00:58:19.440 --> 00:58:21.159
I worked around the room, throwing the light into the

1056
00:58:21.199 --> 00:58:26.760
dark corners, back at the desk under the bunk. Wherever

1057
00:58:26.800 --> 00:58:29.599
I turned, I could feel those cold and blinking eyes

1058
00:58:29.639 --> 00:58:34.840
at my back, watching and waiting. Using the stick, I

1059
00:58:34.880 --> 00:58:37.880
pushed open the closet door and through the light inside. Carefully,

1060
00:58:37.960 --> 00:58:40.000
I poked at the boxes and the junk on the floor.

1061
00:58:41.760 --> 00:58:45.400
The snake was not in the closet. Inch by inch,

1062
00:58:45.480 --> 00:58:50.440
I covered the entire cabin, and then I realized the horrible.

1063
00:58:50.039 --> 00:58:58.679
Truth, Christopher, Captain, So it's happened. That's right, Captain, it's happened,

1064
00:58:58.719 --> 00:59:00.639
and I see you found the gun. We'd better start

1065
00:59:00.639 --> 00:59:01.320
searching the cabin.

1066
00:59:01.360 --> 00:59:04.760
Captain Wood, I just finished searching it.

1067
00:59:05.079 --> 00:59:12.920
Then women kids, that thing loose on board thousand places

1068
00:59:12.920 --> 00:59:16.280
to hide? Heaven help is Christopher?

1069
00:59:24.280 --> 00:59:27.599
Can you guess what this is? Research scientists worked for

1070
00:59:27.679 --> 00:59:30.519
years to produce it. It gives your car new high antonoch.

1071
00:59:30.880 --> 00:59:35.639
It costs you nothing extra. Well, it's xilene. Xilene is

1072
00:59:35.679 --> 00:59:39.559
one of the highest antonok gasoline components ever discovered, and

1073
00:59:39.679 --> 00:59:45.280
today every gallon of Richfield gasoline contains the super component xilene.

1074
00:59:46.000 --> 00:59:49.719
Richfield Gasoline with xilene gives you new high antonoch power,

1075
00:59:50.559 --> 00:59:53.440
power that purs like a kitten, but pulls like an

1076
00:59:53.480 --> 00:59:56.920
ox smooth, knockless power to zip you out ahead in

1077
00:59:56.960 --> 01:00:00.719
traffic and keep you there. In addition, the Richfield dealer

1078
01:00:00.760 --> 01:00:03.760
offers you a choice of two great Richfield gasolines with

1079
01:00:03.840 --> 01:00:08.039
xilene by Richfield High Octane at regular price. For the

1080
01:00:08.079 --> 01:00:12.239
average motor, Get Richfield ethyl ethyl at its best for

1081
01:00:12.400 --> 01:00:16.119
best results in the highest compression motors. Stop where you

1082
01:00:16.159 --> 01:00:19.199
see the Richfield Eagle and the cream and blue pumps.

1083
01:00:19.920 --> 01:00:24.800
Get Richfield Gasoline with xilene tomorrow and now we return

1084
01:00:24.840 --> 01:00:25.159
you to.

1085
01:00:26.599 --> 01:00:27.519
Escape.

1086
01:00:33.039 --> 01:00:35.440
There's no use starting to blame anybody now, gentlemen, I

1087
01:00:35.440 --> 01:00:37.920
didn't call you officers in here to pass judgment. The

1088
01:00:37.960 --> 01:00:39.039
thing's done, and that's that.

1089
01:00:39.320 --> 01:00:40.360
You're right there, Captain.

1090
01:00:40.480 --> 01:00:42.039
What we have got to do is make up our

1091
01:00:42.039 --> 01:00:43.519
minds how we're going to handle it.

1092
01:00:43.519 --> 01:00:45.039
It'd be easier if we didn't have to tell a

1093
01:00:45.079 --> 01:00:48.000
passengers and cruiser. I've seen panics aboard ship before.

1094
01:00:48.159 --> 01:00:50.000
Yes, I agree with you, mister Bowman, but I don't

1095
01:00:50.039 --> 01:00:51.239
quite see how we can avoid it.

1096
01:00:51.280 --> 01:00:53.039
So they got a right to know as long as

1097
01:00:53.039 --> 01:00:55.559
that snakes lose everybody on boards in the same danger

1098
01:00:56.000 --> 01:00:57.280
they all ought to know about.

1099
01:00:57.079 --> 01:00:59.119
Captain Wood. That thing is eight feet long. It can't

1100
01:00:59.159 --> 01:01:00.880
simply crawl into one crack. Why don't we make a

1101
01:01:00.920 --> 01:01:03.000
quick search of the whole ship before we spread any alarm.

1102
01:01:03.199 --> 01:01:04.760
Yes, I've thought of that, Christopher.

1103
01:01:04.880 --> 01:01:06.559
As far as I can see, the only place it

1104
01:01:06.639 --> 01:01:08.559
couldn't be is in the boilers or on top of

1105
01:01:08.559 --> 01:01:11.000
the galley stove might have crawled overboard.

1106
01:01:11.039 --> 01:01:13.280
We can't count on that. We've got to assume it's

1107
01:01:13.280 --> 01:01:14.239
on the ship somewhere.

1108
01:01:15.679 --> 01:01:16.639
That could be anywhere.

1109
01:01:17.159 --> 01:01:20.119
A coil of rope or and a pile of clothes.

1110
01:01:19.719 --> 01:01:24.000
Yes, or under some woman's birth or a baby's crib

1111
01:01:24.239 --> 01:01:25.119
or you've.

1112
01:01:24.960 --> 01:01:27.239
Already said it, That Bushmaster could be anywhere. We've got

1113
01:01:27.280 --> 01:01:28.320
to do something. We've got to do it.

1114
01:01:28.320 --> 01:01:30.320
Fast, all right, gentlemen. I think the best idea is

1115
01:01:30.400 --> 01:01:33.000
to follow mister Werner's suggestion to make a quick search first.

1116
01:01:33.199 --> 01:01:34.800
You agree to that, yes, I do. And if we

1117
01:01:34.800 --> 01:01:36.480
don't find it, we'll have to warn the passengers.

1118
01:01:36.519 --> 01:01:38.119
Captain. We've got to find it.

1119
01:01:41.559 --> 01:01:41.920
Alone.

1120
01:01:41.960 --> 01:01:44.599
In the dim baggage room, I went through the same

1121
01:01:44.639 --> 01:01:47.719
movements as I had earlier in the captain's cabin. Gun

1122
01:01:47.760 --> 01:01:50.079
in one hand, flashlight in the other, poking into every

1123
01:01:50.159 --> 01:01:53.760
dark corner, behind every trunk, in every box. Since there's

1124
01:01:53.800 --> 01:01:55.239
no one in the baggage room, I could keep the

1125
01:01:55.239 --> 01:01:58.079
gun cocked and ready. The rest of those poor devils

1126
01:01:58.079 --> 01:02:02.119
were having to do the same thing bare handed all

1127
01:02:02.159 --> 01:02:03.639
over the ship. The search went on.

1128
01:02:04.320 --> 01:02:07.320
You know, Stuart, what if you're doing ramage.

1129
01:02:07.039 --> 01:02:09.519
Through my cabin just checking up man, Well, I'm quite

1130
01:02:09.519 --> 01:02:11.320
sure there's nothing in here that has to be checked.

1131
01:02:11.360 --> 01:02:12.679
Sorry, man, Captain's orders.

1132
01:02:12.679 --> 01:02:13.719
It'll only take a few minutes.

1133
01:02:13.760 --> 01:02:15.719
But I never heard of such a thing. A passenger

1134
01:02:15.760 --> 01:02:18.800
simply doesn't have any privacy at all. I've traveled on

1135
01:02:18.840 --> 01:02:21.119
a lot of different lines, but I've certainly never heard

1136
01:02:21.159 --> 01:02:22.360
of anything so completely.

1137
01:02:22.440 --> 01:02:28.320
I'm sorry, sir.

1138
01:02:28.360 --> 01:02:29.960
I wonder if you would mind moving over to the

1139
01:02:29.960 --> 01:02:30.440
other rail.

1140
01:02:30.480 --> 01:02:31.719
I'd like to look through these lockers.

1141
01:02:31.800 --> 01:02:34.400
Yeah, sure, go ahead. Does the matter you lost something?

1142
01:02:34.519 --> 01:02:34.679
Oh?

1143
01:02:35.480 --> 01:02:36.480
Just looking things over?

1144
01:02:36.760 --> 01:02:38.320
Nothing in there but life preservers.

1145
01:02:38.880 --> 01:02:39.960
Yeah, that's right.

1146
01:02:40.679 --> 01:02:43.199
You must be getting ready to sink the boat. Huh.

1147
01:02:43.480 --> 01:02:46.000
Gonna collect all the insurance, eh, Gonna send us all

1148
01:02:46.039 --> 01:02:46.599
to the bottom.

1149
01:02:46.679 --> 01:02:52.960
Eh. Not one of us could find that deadly shape,

1150
01:02:53.519 --> 01:02:56.039
perhaps coiled in some dark corner, are outstretched along a

1151
01:02:56.079 --> 01:02:58.960
window seat. Not one of us caught a glimpse of

1152
01:02:58.960 --> 01:03:03.880
that horrid head with its beady, black, watchful eyes. It

1153
01:03:03.920 --> 01:03:05.920
was nearly dark when we met again together in the

1154
01:03:06.000 --> 01:03:06.440
chart room.

1155
01:03:06.840 --> 01:03:09.280
Well, gentlemen, there's no other way around it. We've risked

1156
01:03:09.280 --> 01:03:11.960
all the time we can. We've got to warn the passengers.

1157
01:03:11.440 --> 01:03:12.320
But we do it.

1158
01:03:12.400 --> 01:03:15.119
Kept call them all together in the lounge. No, we

1159
01:03:15.199 --> 01:03:17.280
did anything like that would be asking for a panic.

1160
01:03:17.480 --> 01:03:19.159
We'll get one, whether we ask for it or not.

1161
01:03:19.559 --> 01:03:21.360
Pick a few men and go through the cabin decks.

1162
01:03:21.480 --> 01:03:24.760
Tell them individually inside their cabins, watch for any of

1163
01:03:24.760 --> 01:03:26.559
that act like they might cause trouble, and we'll keep

1164
01:03:26.559 --> 01:03:29.079
an eye on them. Had all the crew the same way,

1165
01:03:29.719 --> 01:03:31.639
as soon as you finished, arm all the deck offices

1166
01:03:31.679 --> 01:03:35.159
and start searching again. Our only chance of preventing a

1167
01:03:35.199 --> 01:03:36.639
panic is to find that snake.

1168
01:03:40.920 --> 01:03:43.440
A slow nightmare that followed drew works by the hour.

1169
01:03:43.559 --> 01:03:46.400
None of us slept. All the ship's officers not on

1170
01:03:46.519 --> 01:03:49.679
duty kept on with that endless search. Passengers locked themselves

1171
01:03:49.719 --> 01:03:51.880
in their cabins or huddle together in the lounges, knowing

1172
01:03:51.920 --> 01:03:53.880
all the time that no spot on board could be

1173
01:03:53.920 --> 01:03:58.000
called safe. Fear was a heavy fog, and the lungs

1174
01:03:58.000 --> 01:04:00.639
of us all and every light on the vessel burned

1175
01:04:00.639 --> 01:04:05.519
throughout the night. Morning came and brought no relief. Terror

1176
01:04:05.559 --> 01:04:07.119
and tension mounted by the hour.

1177
01:04:10.960 --> 01:04:13.559
There Now, missus Crane, go back to your counting. The

1178
01:04:13.639 --> 01:04:15.400
horrid thing's probably crawled overboard it.

1179
01:04:15.480 --> 01:04:16.639
Now you're not saying.

1180
01:04:16.400 --> 01:04:17.840
That, you're made to say it.

1181
01:04:18.000 --> 01:04:19.639
You don't know nobody.

1182
01:04:19.760 --> 01:04:22.840
Now, Now everything's gonna be all wrong if we can

1183
01:04:22.920 --> 01:04:23.800
only get off the ship.

1184
01:04:23.920 --> 01:04:24.920
They're confulgated.

1185
01:04:25.400 --> 01:04:27.079
Yes, yes, that's what we've got to do.

1186
01:04:27.400 --> 01:04:29.440
We've got to get off with mister ball. She's got

1187
01:04:29.519 --> 01:04:30.280
all you do.

1188
01:04:31.079 --> 01:04:31.400
Let me go.

1189
01:04:32.559 --> 01:04:34.039
That's mister Obama Knight's work.

1190
01:04:34.599 --> 01:04:36.840
I got it down to wake Heaven and whatever you do,

1191
01:04:36.840 --> 01:04:38.000
don't turn a loose.

1192
01:04:41.519 --> 01:04:41.679
Well.

1193
01:04:43.519 --> 01:04:45.519
I'm telling you, you don't know where it might strike you.

1194
01:04:46.320 --> 01:04:47.800
You can't put on a coat of over a chair

1195
01:04:47.840 --> 01:04:50.920
without risking your life. Something's gotta be done. I might

1196
01:04:50.960 --> 01:04:53.440
be right here in this low all right, you better

1197
01:04:53.480 --> 01:04:55.400
quiet down and take it easy. Take it easy.

1198
01:04:55.480 --> 01:04:55.920
Huh.

1199
01:04:56.079 --> 01:04:58.239
You're a great officer. I want you to do something

1200
01:04:58.280 --> 01:05:00.679
about it. The thing might be crawling around here, right

1201
01:05:00.719 --> 01:05:01.880
under our feet somewhere.

1202
01:05:02.039 --> 01:05:04.360
I said, shut up, Are you trying to start a panic?

1203
01:05:04.440 --> 01:05:06.239
I got a right to talk. I don't want to die.

1204
01:05:06.480 --> 01:05:07.639
Nobody's gonna tell me what.

1205
01:05:13.239 --> 01:05:17.320
The second night passed, and morning came around again, a

1206
01:05:17.400 --> 01:05:20.639
gray and rainy day that dragged by with leaden hours,

1207
01:05:21.199 --> 01:05:25.639
and the night came down again, third night of the terror. Again,

1208
01:05:25.679 --> 01:05:27.920
every light burned, and the whole ship seethed in the

1209
01:05:27.960 --> 01:05:31.000
throes of incipient panic, faced by a horror they'd never

1210
01:05:31.079 --> 01:05:33.760
met on the sea before. Crew and officers alike were

1211
01:05:33.760 --> 01:05:36.320
on the virtue of a volt, Passengers huddled in a

1212
01:05:36.400 --> 01:05:39.920
trance like stupor, ready to scream at the slightest unknown sound.

1213
01:05:44.639 --> 01:05:46.599
At seven bells, I made my way forward to the

1214
01:05:46.679 --> 01:05:51.400
chart room and found Captain Wood bent over a disk. Hello, Christopher,

1215
01:05:52.199 --> 01:05:54.880
come on in, said, it's got to be somewhere, Captain.

1216
01:05:54.880 --> 01:05:57.880
But it's got to be And I don't know. You

1217
01:05:57.960 --> 01:06:00.320
could search this ship for six months. I have to

1218
01:06:00.320 --> 01:06:04.400
touch all the hiding places aboard. If we can only

1219
01:06:04.440 --> 01:06:06.480
hold out for two more days, we'll be in put.

1220
01:06:06.719 --> 01:06:07.639
What's your home office?

1221
01:06:07.679 --> 01:06:12.639
Say, here's the latest wireless from them. Keep quiet and

1222
01:06:12.719 --> 01:06:18.159
keep coming. What else can we do? You want a cigarette?

1223
01:06:18.639 --> 01:06:18.840
Yeah?

1224
01:06:18.920 --> 01:06:20.840
Yeah, thanks?

1225
01:06:22.639 --> 01:06:23.760
How was it below Christopher?

1226
01:06:24.199 --> 01:06:26.280
That's pretty bad. Anything could happen.

1227
01:06:26.480 --> 01:06:29.079
Yeah, that's why I took the guns away from the men.

1228
01:06:29.400 --> 01:06:31.920
One pistol shot and we'd have a riot on our hands.

1229
01:06:32.039 --> 01:06:34.320
The whole thing's my fault, Captain. Well, that's what I

1230
01:06:34.360 --> 01:06:34.960
can't forget.

1231
01:06:35.000 --> 01:06:35.559
How take it?

1232
01:06:35.599 --> 01:06:37.480
There was only one way I could pay for it

1233
01:06:37.519 --> 01:06:38.400
myself alone.

1234
01:06:38.519 --> 01:06:40.440
Oh now, I know how you feel, but it's no

1235
01:06:40.519 --> 01:06:43.000
more your fault than mine or the man who asks

1236
01:06:43.000 --> 01:06:49.000
you to bring that snake back alive. Nobody planned this hell, Christopher,

1237
01:06:49.039 --> 01:06:50.800
I think you'd better try to get a little sleep. No,

1238
01:06:51.639 --> 01:06:53.920
mister Bowman made some coffee down in the Steward's galley

1239
01:06:53.920 --> 01:06:55.480
a while ago. You better go down and get yourself

1240
01:06:55.480 --> 01:06:56.440
a cop and then rest.

1241
01:06:56.280 --> 01:06:57.440
For a couple of hours. Rest.

1242
01:06:57.559 --> 01:07:00.400
I can't, Christopher. It's not going to help if you

1243
01:07:00.440 --> 01:07:02.639
stumble through a hatch half asleep and break your neck.

1244
01:07:04.320 --> 01:07:08.199
Now go on and get some coffee. One way or another.

1245
01:07:08.280 --> 01:07:10.199
We've got to hold out for two more days.

1246
01:07:17.800 --> 01:07:20.480
The light was on in the Stewart's galley. Coffee pot

1247
01:07:20.480 --> 01:07:23.400
was standing on the stove, still warm, so I didn't

1248
01:07:23.400 --> 01:07:27.079
bother to heat it. Poured out a cup, jerried it over,

1249
01:07:27.119 --> 01:07:29.079
and set it on the porcelain tabletop in the center

1250
01:07:29.119 --> 01:07:33.119
of the room. Started to light a cigarette. The door

1251
01:07:33.159 --> 01:07:35.679
of the pan covered beneath the sink was standing slightly ajar.

1252
01:07:37.039 --> 01:07:41.039
I happened to glance toward it. I dropped the cigarette

1253
01:07:41.559 --> 01:07:48.599
and moved slowly backward. I'd found the Bushmaster. As I moved,

1254
01:07:48.639 --> 01:07:50.559
the snake slid out of the cupboard in a single

1255
01:07:50.559 --> 01:07:52.719
sinuous slide and drew back into a loose coil on

1256
01:07:52.760 --> 01:07:55.760
the galley floor, never taking his eyes off me. I

1257
01:07:55.800 --> 01:07:59.199
backed slowly away, waiting any moment for that deadly, slithering strike.

1258
01:07:59.440 --> 01:08:01.880
How had he known? It was me each day quiet

1259
01:08:01.880 --> 01:08:03.360
when Bowman was here? How it he picked the first

1260
01:08:03.360 --> 01:08:04.960
time in five days that I was without a gun.

1261
01:08:05.960 --> 01:08:07.760
My hands touched the wall behind me, and I stopped

1262
01:08:07.760 --> 01:08:10.960
in terror. A call button and the door were on

1263
01:08:11.000 --> 01:08:14.320
the far side of the room. I becked into a

1264
01:08:14.360 --> 01:08:19.439
dead end. I stared at the snake in fascination, expecting

1265
01:08:19.479 --> 01:08:23.239
any moment the ripping slash of those poisoned fangs. The

1266
01:08:23.319 --> 01:08:28.840
leeful coils tightened a little, then were still again, ten

1267
01:08:28.880 --> 01:08:31.680
million years of evolution to produce this moment. Homo Seppi

1268
01:08:31.760 --> 01:08:37.319
ends versus Lascia's mutness, A man against mute fate, and

1269
01:08:37.479 --> 01:08:41.840
all the odds were on fate. I knew then that

1270
01:08:41.920 --> 01:08:48.159
I was going to die. I could feel the sweat

1271
01:08:48.239 --> 01:08:49.840
ran down between the wall and the palms of my

1272
01:08:49.880 --> 01:08:53.279
hands pressing against it. My skin crawled and twitched, and

1273
01:08:53.319 --> 01:08:56.479
the pit of my stomach was cold as ice. There

1274
01:08:56.520 --> 01:08:58.319
was no sound but the rush of blood in my ears.

1275
01:08:59.399 --> 01:09:03.119
The snake gifted again, drawing into a tighter coil, always tighter.

1276
01:09:03.560 --> 01:09:06.840
Why didn't the devil get it over with and for

1277
01:09:06.880 --> 01:09:10.119
an instant his head veered away. Something moved by the stove.

1278
01:09:10.560 --> 01:09:13.239
I didn't dare turn to look at it. Slowly it

1279
01:09:13.359 --> 01:09:17.079
entered my line of vision. It was a cat, that

1280
01:09:17.199 --> 01:09:20.520
scrawny cat Clara, that mother Willis had sneaked aboard in Laguira.

1281
01:09:25.399 --> 01:09:28.319
Its back was arched and every hare stood on end.

1282
01:09:28.760 --> 01:09:31.119
It moved stiff legged, now walking in a half circle

1283
01:09:31.159 --> 01:09:34.439
around the snake. The bushmaster moved slowly and kept watching

1284
01:09:34.439 --> 01:09:38.039
the cat. He tightened, he was going to strike. At

1285
01:09:38.039 --> 01:09:43.119
any second. He struck a mist. The cat was barely

1286
01:09:43.119 --> 01:09:46.479
out of reach while she was walking back and forth.

1287
01:09:46.520 --> 01:09:51.359
Again she was asking to die. Missed again by a

1288
01:09:51.479 --> 01:09:53.760
fraction of an inch. He was striking now without even

1289
01:09:53.760 --> 01:09:56.840
going into full coil. Missed again, and again all was

1290
01:09:56.880 --> 01:09:59.319
missing by the barest margin. Each time the cat danced

1291
01:09:59.359 --> 01:10:01.000
barely out of reach, and each time she coned with

1292
01:10:01.039 --> 01:10:03.560
one precise spot of a dainty paw, bracing her skin

1293
01:10:03.720 --> 01:10:06.800
frame on three stiff legs. And then suddenly I realized

1294
01:10:06.800 --> 01:10:10.039
what she was doing. The bushmaster was tiring, and one

1295
01:10:10.079 --> 01:10:12.880
strike was just an instant slow, but in that split second,

1296
01:10:12.880 --> 01:10:15.479
sharp claws raked across the evil head and ripped out

1297
01:10:15.520 --> 01:10:19.079
both the littless eyes. The cat has deliberately blinded the snake.

1298
01:10:20.159 --> 01:10:22.399
He didn't bother the coil now, but slid after her

1299
01:10:22.439 --> 01:10:25.079
in a fury, striking wildly, but always missing, and every

1300
01:10:25.159 --> 01:10:28.439
strike was a little slower than the last one, until finally,

1301
01:10:28.479 --> 01:10:30.479
as the snake's neck stretched out at the end of

1302
01:10:30.479 --> 01:10:33.199
a strike, the cat made one leaf and sank her

1303
01:10:33.279 --> 01:10:35.680
razor sharp teeth just back of the ugly head sank

1304
01:10:35.760 --> 01:10:38.640
him until they crunched bone with tooth and claw. She

1305
01:10:38.680 --> 01:10:41.399
clung as the monstrous snake flailed and lashed on the floor,

1306
01:10:41.439 --> 01:10:44.039
striving to get those hideous coils around her, trying to

1307
01:10:44.039 --> 01:10:46.279
break her hold, to shake off the slow and certain

1308
01:10:46.399 --> 01:10:50.720
paralyzing death that gradually crept over him, and at last

1309
01:10:51.800 --> 01:10:59.399
still his struggles forever. I took a deep breath the

1310
01:10:59.439 --> 01:11:03.239
first and minute A cat lay on her side on

1311
01:11:03.279 --> 01:11:06.359
the floor, panting, resting from the fight just over. While

1312
01:11:06.399 --> 01:11:10.800
she had a right to rest, that mangy, brave, beautiful

1313
01:11:10.840 --> 01:11:13.279
alley cat had just saved my life and maybe.

1314
01:11:13.079 --> 01:11:13.800
Others as well.

1315
01:11:15.560 --> 01:11:19.000
But as I turned toward the stove, I suddenly became

1316
01:11:19.119 --> 01:11:22.039
very humble, and I knew all at once what a

1317
01:11:22.079 --> 01:11:26.640
small thing a human being really is. There were three

1318
01:11:26.640 --> 01:11:29.119
reasons why that cat had fought and killed the world's

1319
01:11:29.119 --> 01:11:33.199
deadliest snake. And those three reasons came tottering out from

1320
01:11:33.239 --> 01:11:36.920
under the stove on shaky little legs, three kittens, with

1321
01:11:36.960 --> 01:11:41.079
their eyes bright with wonder and their tails stiff as pokers.

1322
01:11:42.159 --> 01:11:44.279
Upon the decks. Hundreds of passengers were waiting for the

1323
01:11:44.319 --> 01:11:46.520
news that the days and nights of terror were ended. Well,

1324
01:11:46.560 --> 01:11:50.239
they could wait a little longer. I pulled open the

1325
01:11:50.279 --> 01:11:53.000
doors of the cabinet and found a can of milk

1326
01:11:53.039 --> 01:11:56.920
and a saucer when I dropped down on my knees

1327
01:11:57.680 --> 01:11:58.760
on the floor of the galley.

1328
01:12:10.159 --> 01:12:12.920
In summer heat, when the old sun beats down and

1329
01:12:13.000 --> 01:12:16.119
the thermometer goes up and up, your car's motor gets

1330
01:12:16.279 --> 01:12:20.399
really hot, and that can mean trouble because that searing

1331
01:12:20.399 --> 01:12:24.439
heat is mighty hard on your motor oil. In summer time, especially,

1332
01:12:24.479 --> 01:12:27.600
you need the protection of oil that holds its body

1333
01:12:27.720 --> 01:12:31.760
under the toughest driving conditions. You need richlube all weather

1334
01:12:31.840 --> 01:12:35.520
motor oil. Rich lube is refined one percent from the

1335
01:12:35.560 --> 01:12:41.239
costliest Pennsylvania crude obtainable. Richlube is tough, It protects your

1336
01:12:41.239 --> 01:12:44.760
motor by drawing excess heat away from moving parts and

1337
01:12:44.800 --> 01:12:49.520
by its great lubricating qualities. Moreover, it contains special chemicals

1338
01:12:49.600 --> 01:12:53.880
that combat carbon and harmful deposits. It cleans your motor

1339
01:12:53.920 --> 01:12:57.479
as you drive, So get real motor protection this summer.

1340
01:12:58.079 --> 01:13:00.920
Ask the rich Field gasoline Delate. Change You're oil to

1341
01:13:01.079 --> 01:13:05.000
rich Loop all weather motor oil. Keep your motor clean,

1342
01:13:05.560 --> 01:13:14.560

01:13:27.600 --> 01:13:30.800
was Mother Willis, and David Light was Clara the Cat.

1347
01:13:31.399 --> 01:13:34.880
Others in the cast were Werner Felton, Ted Decartia, Harry

1348
01:13:34.920 --> 01:13:38.399
Bartel and Paul Freese. Special music arranged and played by

1349
01:13:38.479 --> 01:13:39.359

1350
01:13:40.760 --> 01:13:45.640
Next week, You're running a charter fishing boat in the

1351
01:13:45.680 --> 01:13:51.359
waters off Nicaragua, until one day a client suddenly offers

1352
01:13:51.439 --> 01:13:54.720
to shoot you in the lake and throw you overboard

1353
01:13:54.840 --> 01:13:59.560
to the ravenous sharks and barracuda, from which there can

1354
01:13:59.600 --> 01:14:20.199
be no escape.

1355
01:14:21.680 --> 01:14:28.159
Well, my dear, another log on the fire, another smile

1356
01:14:28.319 --> 01:14:32.399
at the fear. I'm so glad to have you here.

1357
01:14:34.239 --> 01:14:41.479
What's that? Well, I suppose there's always one more, or

1358
01:14:41.520 --> 01:14:47.159
maybe even too. We'll just have to wait and see,

1359
01:14:47.319 --> 01:14:52.760
won't we. Perhaps the idea of waiting for something is

1360
01:14:52.800 --> 01:14:59.800
all the more exciting. Perhaps that is true. However, I

1361
01:15:00.079 --> 01:15:07.000
worry the other truth is that death flies blind.

1362
01:15:24.119 --> 01:15:24.800
Suspense.

1363
01:15:34.520 --> 01:15:37.359

1382
01:16:54.920 --> 01:16:59.000
Municipal Airport of New York. The Guardier Field bask behind

1383
01:16:59.000 --> 01:17:02.000
its white buildings on a gray spring afternoon, when rain

1384
01:17:02.119 --> 01:17:06.159
splashes across the runways, dims the sky, and spatters on

1385
01:17:06.199 --> 01:17:09.199
the wings of a great silver painted airliner waiting beyond.

1386
01:17:09.960 --> 01:17:12.560
Already is the limousine bus from the New York terminus

1387
01:17:12.560 --> 01:17:14.199
slowly draws up to the waiting shed.

1388
01:17:14.680 --> 01:17:15.560
You can hear the louds.

1389
01:17:15.920 --> 01:17:18.680
Seventy two to Los Angeles.

1390
01:17:18.680 --> 01:17:22.279
The big limousine bus, besides its driver, contains only two persons.

1391
01:17:22.600 --> 01:17:23.920
One is a tall young man.

1392
01:17:23.800 --> 01:17:26.520
In the United States Naval uniform with the stripes of

1393
01:17:26.520 --> 01:17:29.439
a lieutenant commander around his sleeve. The other is a

1394
01:17:29.479 --> 01:17:32.520
tall and dark haired girl and faces a little fight.

1395
01:17:32.479 --> 01:17:33.159
In the glue light.

1396
01:17:33.279 --> 01:17:35.479
Seventy two to.

1397
01:17:35.479 --> 01:17:39.640
Los Angeles, playing ready to take off at gate number six,

1398
01:17:40.279 --> 01:17:41.680
have your tickets ready, please.

1399
01:17:43.159 --> 01:17:44.199
That can't mean us.

1400
01:17:44.279 --> 01:17:47.199
Now take it easy, Monica. We're not too late. They

1401
01:17:47.239 --> 01:17:47.960
won't go without us.

1402
01:17:48.039 --> 01:17:50.359
No, I mean it says we are to Los Angeles.

1403
01:17:50.399 --> 01:17:53.000
That's right, Monica, We're only going to Philadelphia.

1404
01:17:53.079 --> 01:17:55.840
You're still right, my dear. Arrange for a special stop

1405
01:17:55.880 --> 01:17:58.239
at Philadelphia. It won't take long, and then they go

1406
01:17:58.359 --> 01:17:59.319
on non stop from there.

1407
01:18:00.199 --> 01:18:02.159
Just it. Who's going on for me?

1408
01:18:02.399 --> 01:18:03.640
Oh, you'd be surprised.

1409
01:18:03.920 --> 01:18:06.840
The airport bus must hold twenty people, but there's nobody

1410
01:18:06.880 --> 01:18:09.760
in it except ourselves in the river. Who's going on

1411
01:18:09.800 --> 01:18:11.399
to Los Angeles or anywhere else?

1412
01:18:12.119 --> 01:18:12.600
We're going to.

1413
01:18:12.600 --> 01:18:14.520
Tell you about that, Monica?

1414
01:18:14.720 --> 01:18:15.039
All right?

1415
01:18:15.079 --> 01:18:17.600
Miss, all right, sir, up under that shed and out

1416
01:18:17.600 --> 01:18:18.439
the door on the other side.

1417
01:18:18.520 --> 01:18:19.680
Oh, got your tickets ready?

1418
01:18:19.760 --> 01:18:22.079
Yes, our government old set, Monica.

1419
01:18:22.479 --> 01:18:25.399
Rain is certainly coming down. Do they take off when

1420
01:18:25.399 --> 01:18:26.000
it rains like this?

1421
01:18:26.239 --> 01:18:26.359
Oh?

1422
01:18:26.520 --> 01:18:27.960
Miss, A little rain don't bother them.

1423
01:18:28.079 --> 01:18:30.680
What does bother them is unsettled weather at other places?

1424
01:18:30.960 --> 01:18:32.399
You mean, it's it's perfectly see.

1425
01:18:32.680 --> 01:18:34.760
They never take off, miss, unless it is safe.

1426
01:18:34.800 --> 01:18:35.520
You better hurry up.

1427
01:18:35.560 --> 01:18:45.479
Now there's a plane, Monica, so we run for it.

1428
01:18:45.760 --> 01:18:47.520
But I'd rather not run if you don't mind.

1429
01:18:48.000 --> 01:18:49.319
Aren't getting nervous, are you?

1430
01:18:50.760 --> 01:18:53.319
I know, it's stupid of the men I flown before.

1431
01:18:53.359 --> 01:18:57.920
It's follows two seconds before the takeoff. You're moving and

1432
01:18:57.920 --> 01:19:00.680
the motors have been island. Of a sudden, they start

1433
01:19:00.720 --> 01:19:03.960
to roar. The plane races ahead, and the roar gets louder,

1434
01:19:03.960 --> 01:19:06.039
and suddenly you think, am I ever going to get

1435
01:19:06.039 --> 01:19:06.520
down a line?

1436
01:19:06.640 --> 01:19:11.800
Now? Look here, my dear, I'm sorry. There's nothing to

1437
01:19:11.840 --> 01:19:13.319
worry about, you know, of course not.

1438
01:19:13.399 --> 01:19:13.920
I'll be good.

1439
01:19:15.000 --> 01:19:18.359
It's just this dismal day and ghostly busted out any past.

1440
01:19:18.439 --> 01:19:22.520
Jud Look where.

1441
01:19:22.640 --> 01:19:25.760
It's the plane. They've got all the windows covered inside

1442
01:19:25.800 --> 01:19:26.720
with a little great curtains.

1443
01:19:26.720 --> 01:19:29.199
Oh that's all right, monica. It's only a wartime measure,

1444
01:19:29.720 --> 01:19:33.119
wartime issue. Yes, just keep those curtains closed for some

1445
01:19:33.159 --> 01:19:36.039
minutes after taking off for landing, so no one can

1446
01:19:36.079 --> 01:19:39.479
make maps or take pictures of our airports.

1447
01:19:40.720 --> 01:19:42.039
Anything can happen with them.

1448
01:19:43.640 --> 01:19:46.279
And what's more, if you're worried about your fellow passengers,

1449
01:19:46.279 --> 01:19:47.640
look over your shoulder.

1450
01:19:47.680 --> 01:19:49.319
Well, there are some people coming through the game.

1451
01:19:49.479 --> 01:19:51.000
Yes, you see the little gray haired man or the

1452
01:19:51.000 --> 01:19:53.720
big fellow on each side of him, the secretary dashing

1453
01:19:53.720 --> 01:19:55.960
around him like a since destroyer and a convoy.

1454
01:19:56.760 --> 01:19:59.520
You know, I've seen that gray head man somewhere before, and.

1455
01:19:59.479 --> 01:19:59.920
You've seen it.

1456
01:20:00.119 --> 01:20:00.479
Picture.

1457
01:20:01.279 --> 01:20:05.000
That's Silas Naylor, the third richest man in the world.

1458
01:20:05.880 --> 01:20:07.800
Those two big fellows are his bodyguard.

1459
01:20:08.399 --> 01:20:09.479
Does he need a bodyguard?

1460
01:20:09.600 --> 01:20:13.479
Well, I not more than most of us, I imagine.

1461
01:20:14.199 --> 01:20:16.760
I don't like nonsense. Fight here, Come on up the

1462
01:20:16.760 --> 01:20:19.119
steps the plane. Give your name to the air hostess.

1463
01:20:19.159 --> 01:20:23.760
The door said, good afternoon, Miss Now I have your

1464
01:20:23.800 --> 01:20:26.239
name please, I'm Monica Veil.

1465
01:20:26.439 --> 01:20:27.399
You're the air hostess.

1466
01:20:27.399 --> 01:20:30.119
That's right, Miss Veil. Take any seat you like, and you.

1467
01:20:30.199 --> 01:20:32.520
Sir Alow the commander Fred Arnslow.

1468
01:20:32.640 --> 01:20:36.119
Oh yes, commander. We've had instructions about you. Happy to

1469
01:20:36.159 --> 01:20:37.760
have you with us, even if it's only as far

1470
01:20:37.760 --> 01:20:38.560
as Philadelphia.

1471
01:20:38.680 --> 01:20:39.079
Thank you.

1472
01:20:39.159 --> 01:20:41.159
May I take your overcoat or your briefcase.

1473
01:20:41.239 --> 01:20:43.359
One of the overcoat please, I'll keep the briefcase.

1474
01:20:45.159 --> 01:20:46.600
Look there, what is it now?

1475
01:20:46.920 --> 01:20:49.720
That man you called mister Naylor's secretary, light hand man,

1476
01:20:49.840 --> 01:20:52.640
rather good looking. He's springing towards this plane as fast

1477
01:20:52.680 --> 01:20:53.319
as you can run.

1478
01:20:53.359 --> 01:20:55.680
Really better be careful on that slippery surface.

1479
01:20:55.760 --> 01:20:56.640
He certainly has.

1480
01:21:00.359 --> 01:21:05.800
Man, will come and watch your step Are you all

1481
01:21:05.880 --> 01:21:08.479
right here? Let me help you up. I'm all right, thanks,

1482
01:21:08.600 --> 01:21:12.039
perfectly all right, their hostess. Yes, sir, my name is

1483
01:21:12.079 --> 01:21:14.800
Michael Shepherd. I'm mister Naylor's secretary, and I think there

1484
01:21:14.880 --> 01:21:15.840
must be some mistake here.

1485
01:21:15.920 --> 01:21:16.399
Mistakes.

1486
01:21:16.479 --> 01:21:19.239
Yes, When mister Nayler travels, he's in the habit of

1487
01:21:19.239 --> 01:21:22.199
booking every seat in the plane to ensure privacy. Yeah,

1488
01:21:22.319 --> 01:21:24.840
we seem to have two extra passengers. I'm afraid that's

1489
01:21:24.840 --> 01:21:27.399
my fault, mister Shepherd. Indeed, sir, then would you and

1490
01:21:27.479 --> 01:21:29.600
the young lady be good enough to take some later plan.

1491
01:21:29.720 --> 01:21:32.039
I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't do that. No, and

1492
01:21:32.079 --> 01:21:32.399
why not?

1493
01:21:32.880 --> 01:21:36.119
Maybe I ought to, explained mister Shepherd. Commander Onslow had

1494
01:21:36.199 --> 01:21:38.319
last minute orders to join his ship.

1495
01:21:38.600 --> 01:21:41.119
He and miss Vale have priority as far as Philadelphia.

1496
01:21:41.119 --> 01:21:43.000
Philadelphia, must we stop there.

1497
01:21:42.960 --> 01:21:45.000
Only for a few minutes, mister Shepherd.

1498
01:21:44.720 --> 01:21:48.199
This is outrageous. Mister Naylor is traveling in a sense

1499
01:21:48.239 --> 01:21:49.720
on government business.

1500
01:21:49.399 --> 01:21:51.720
So am I old man. The Navy often does.

1501
01:21:51.880 --> 01:21:55.000
That doesn't alter the principle of the thing. I don't

1502
01:21:55.000 --> 01:21:58.079
want to seem ungracious. You understand, mister Naylor is always

1503
01:21:58.079 --> 01:22:01.199
glad to help our our brave soldiers and the savors

1504
01:22:01.279 --> 01:22:05.239
of the choir will now sing him number two for

1505
01:22:05.439 --> 01:22:07.960
two now the God. This time you've gone too far.

1506
01:22:08.199 --> 01:22:11.640
I shall appeal to mister Naylor himself. Mister Naylor, mister Naylor.

1507
01:22:11.560 --> 01:22:12.920
Yes, mister Shepherd, I can hear you.

1508
01:22:13.000 --> 01:22:13.359
What is it?

1509
01:22:13.760 --> 01:22:16.000
This naval articis, sir? And the young lady?

1510
01:22:16.000 --> 01:22:18.800
Oh, I know, Shepherd, I know. Isn't the plane big

1511
01:22:18.880 --> 01:22:19.239
enough at all?

1512
01:22:19.239 --> 01:22:19.640
Of us?

1513
01:22:19.880 --> 01:22:22.159
I was only following your or as mister Naelo. You

1514
01:22:22.199 --> 01:22:24.800
asked for privates, all right, Shepherd, but.

1515
01:22:24.880 --> 01:22:27.279
I'm asking for an hour is less noise and the

1516
01:22:27.359 --> 01:22:29.920
tenant commander in the navy eighth that's right, mister Miller

1517
01:22:30.279 --> 01:22:32.079
of another fishing trip, I sup post.

1518
01:22:32.239 --> 01:22:34.119
That's just exactly right, sir.

1519
01:22:34.279 --> 01:22:37.279
I never have to steps yet, No, never, But I

1520
01:22:37.399 --> 01:22:41.119
had twenty thousand a year. I've had pay doctors, and

1521
01:22:41.199 --> 01:22:44.960
what do they give me the stomach. I'm not surprised

1522
01:22:45.000 --> 01:22:48.199
you've got priority, Commander, but I am the surprise about

1523
01:22:48.199 --> 01:22:48.520
the girl.

1524
01:22:48.640 --> 01:22:52.680
She's my fiance, mister Neller, Miss Vale, meet the rest

1525
01:22:52.720 --> 01:22:53.479
of my family.

1526
01:22:54.000 --> 01:22:56.239
These two bruises here, including the one with the mouth

1527
01:22:56.319 --> 01:22:58.520
organ and my bodyguard, mister.

1528
01:22:58.279 --> 01:23:00.920
Cohen, please to meet your commander.

1529
01:23:00.960 --> 01:23:01.359
How do you do?

1530
01:23:01.760 --> 01:23:06.479
This is mister o'reiley, that's your command? You sing the cone?

1531
01:23:06.520 --> 01:23:07.279
Can't butt you ever?

1532
01:23:07.319 --> 01:23:10.000
Get tired of playing that mouth dog and stand away

1533
01:23:10.000 --> 01:23:11.279
from the door and they want to close it?

1534
01:23:13.840 --> 01:23:15.800
Will everyone see your seat?

1535
01:23:15.880 --> 01:23:18.640
Can pack the seat pilts. Are we ready to take off?

1536
01:23:18.720 --> 01:23:18.920
Yes?

1537
01:23:19.039 --> 01:23:20.119
And just a mom shober?

1538
01:23:20.760 --> 01:23:24.199
Alrighty, come along to the pun compleate.

1539
01:23:24.520 --> 01:23:26.479
Yes, Oh we'll sit in the batch here, won't we?

1540
01:23:26.560 --> 01:23:30.000
Tod Yes, yes, of course I am.

1541
01:23:31.000 --> 01:23:31.760
Is anything wrong?

1542
01:23:31.880 --> 01:23:31.960
No?

1543
01:23:32.880 --> 01:23:33.520
No, of course not.

1544
01:23:34.319 --> 01:23:35.479
Why what should be wrong?

1545
01:23:35.920 --> 01:23:37.720
And you better sit down? We're starting the move.

1546
01:23:37.920 --> 01:23:41.199
That's good advice, Commander Anslow. But I must ask you,

1547
01:23:41.239 --> 01:23:43.279
miss Bail, not to touch the curtain on the window.

1548
01:23:44.159 --> 01:23:46.239
How caon before we can open the curtains as.

1549
01:23:46.159 --> 01:23:48.239
Soon as we're well away from New York. You see

1550
01:23:48.239 --> 01:23:50.920
that illuminated sign no smoking, fastened seatbelts.

1551
01:23:51.319 --> 01:23:52.520
Yes, quite about it.

1552
01:23:52.760 --> 01:23:54.640
When the lights and the sign go out, you can

1553
01:23:54.680 --> 01:23:57.079
open the curtains and smoke as much as you like.

1554
01:23:57.479 --> 01:24:02.119
Now, if you'll excuse me, certainly you didn't try to

1555
01:24:02.159 --> 01:24:02.880
fill me shut on?

1556
01:24:03.000 --> 01:24:05.920
So you saw what I saw?

1557
01:24:05.960 --> 01:24:07.680
You pick up that scrap of paper one of those

1558
01:24:07.720 --> 01:24:08.279
men dropped?

1559
01:24:08.479 --> 01:24:10.600
Why Why that wasn't anything? Monica?

1560
01:24:10.960 --> 01:24:11.960
May I see the paper?

1561
01:24:12.159 --> 01:24:12.439
No?

1562
01:24:13.199 --> 01:24:16.600
Why not? Well, because because I'd rather you didn't see?

1563
01:24:16.640 --> 01:24:17.119
If that's all?

1564
01:24:17.359 --> 01:24:18.520
There is something wrong, isn't this?

1565
01:24:18.640 --> 01:24:19.239
Look Monica?

1566
01:24:19.880 --> 01:24:22.079
Let me repeat over and over what could be wrong?

1567
01:24:22.359 --> 01:24:25.800
Why there's Silas Naylor, an internationally famous figure with a

1568
01:24:25.800 --> 01:24:29.319
group of trusted attendants. Here's an ACA plane as safe

1569
01:24:29.359 --> 01:24:33.479
and dependable as the old gray Mayor all the same.

1570
01:24:33.520 --> 01:24:36.960
What I wish I hadn't brought you along? I wish

1571
01:24:37.000 --> 01:24:38.800
there was some kind of an emergency for it, like

1572
01:24:38.800 --> 01:24:39.199
a train.

1573
01:24:39.319 --> 01:24:40.600
So did you stop this plane?

1574
01:24:44.079 --> 01:24:52.359
Right that way?

1575
01:24:53.720 --> 01:24:58.680
Fifteen minutes, thirty minutes, forty minutes, the great silver plane

1576
01:24:58.760 --> 01:25:01.760
throbbed against dead quiet. Yeah, it's warm and stuffy in

1577
01:25:01.760 --> 01:25:05.039
the cabin, despite the hissing. Ventally dim white reading lamps

1578
01:25:05.039 --> 01:25:07.439
shine down on a double roll of cushion chairs along

1579
01:25:07.520 --> 01:25:10.319
one side and a single row of cushion chairs along

1580
01:25:10.359 --> 01:25:13.079
the other. Ahead, above the closed door to the pilot's

1581
01:25:13.079 --> 01:25:17.000
controlled cabin, the red glowing sign still warns against opening

1582
01:25:17.079 --> 01:25:20.840
those curtains. Aft in the plane, sits commander onslow, his

1583
01:25:20.960 --> 01:25:34.640
eyes fixed on the clock under that illuminated sigh.

1584
01:25:29.359 --> 01:25:34.039
Monia, Yes it's not exactly all right.

1585
01:25:34.600 --> 01:25:35.399
Why do you say that?

1586
01:25:35.720 --> 01:25:38.439
Because we should have been in Philadelphia five minutes ago

1587
01:25:39.520 --> 01:25:41.399
at least we should have been circling over the field,

1588
01:25:41.840 --> 01:25:42.319
and we're not.

1589
01:25:42.520 --> 01:25:45.760
No, we're still ten or twelve thousand feet up.

1590
01:25:45.640 --> 01:25:47.479
If the pressure in my ear drums count for anything,

1591
01:25:48.239 --> 01:25:50.159
and traveling like a bat out of hades.

1592
01:25:50.760 --> 01:25:54.920
Weather's delaying us, as belibe it is. It's awfully bumpy,

1593
01:25:54.960 --> 01:25:55.560
is yes?

1594
01:25:55.640 --> 01:25:57.960
A little makes you gasp for breath in your stomach chair.

1595
01:26:00.920 --> 01:26:01.760
That was a bad one.

1596
01:26:02.000 --> 01:26:03.920
Not getting air sick, are you?

1597
01:26:04.159 --> 01:26:06.640
I don't think so. I wish I had some of

1598
01:26:06.640 --> 01:26:07.840
that chewing gum they gave you.

1599
01:26:07.920 --> 01:26:09.880
Ring for the air hostess. She'll bring us home.

1600
01:26:11.000 --> 01:26:12.720
I did ring the bell fad and there's no ante.

1601
01:26:12.840 --> 01:26:14.920
Oh she's busy in the pantry back there, that's all.

1602
01:26:15.800 --> 01:26:17.439
She didn't hear you here. I'll get you some gum.

1603
01:26:17.520 --> 01:26:18.560
No, no way to I'll go.

1604
01:26:19.039 --> 01:26:19.800
So you're all right?

1605
01:26:21.000 --> 01:26:24.039
I want a pot of my nose anyway. Besides, you're

1606
01:26:24.039 --> 01:26:26.960
going to have company. Mister Shepherd is reading along this

1607
01:26:27.039 --> 01:26:29.079
sile as though he didn't like air pockets.

1608
01:26:28.680 --> 01:26:31.399
Either, Thank the Lord, one of that parties awake up there.

1609
01:26:32.039 --> 01:26:33.920
I thought they were all dead.

1610
01:26:34.079 --> 01:26:35.159
Say what dead?

1611
01:26:36.319 --> 01:26:41.119
Spooky? Playing with everything so quiet and dead itself. Remember

1612
01:26:41.119 --> 01:26:42.800
how the pilot walked through a while ago and looked

1613
01:26:42.840 --> 01:26:44.880
around and you walked walked right back to the control cabin.

1614
01:26:45.000 --> 01:26:45.960
Yeah, I didn't notice him.

1615
01:26:46.279 --> 01:26:48.800
That's what I mean. It was like a ghost.

1616
01:26:50.800 --> 01:26:51.640
I'll be right back.

1617
01:26:52.520 --> 01:26:53.640
It's like, am I no anso?

1618
01:26:54.319 --> 01:26:58.199
Yes, mister Sheppard, mind if I sit down, not at all,

1619
01:26:58.199 --> 01:27:02.159
go ahead back to Amanda. I won't apologize. Well, that's

1620
01:27:02.159 --> 01:27:05.000
all right, forget it. I'm not such an ill mannered guys.

1621
01:27:05.000 --> 01:27:07.880
I must have sounded it's no joke, you know, taking

1622
01:27:07.920 --> 01:27:11.000
care of the Chief. I've got to go ahead like

1623
01:27:11.039 --> 01:27:14.079
a sycphone so so that everything would be quiet when

1624
01:27:14.079 --> 01:27:17.600
he gets there. And it's a great responsibility too. I

1625
01:27:17.600 --> 01:27:20.920
can imagine I go on these long trips.

1626
01:27:21.680 --> 01:27:23.560
There's the Chief half asleep.

1627
01:27:23.239 --> 01:27:27.239
And O'Reilly reading detective magazines and Coin with his mouth Organ.

1628
01:27:27.399 --> 01:27:29.039
Doesn't that mouth organ bother.

1629
01:27:28.920 --> 01:27:29.399
The old boy?

1630
01:27:29.760 --> 01:27:33.199
No, he likes it, especially when Coin plays the old

1631
01:27:33.199 --> 01:27:37.279
square answers chiefs a great man in his way. I

1632
01:27:37.359 --> 01:27:41.199
was just wondering about that, wondering what is it true?

1633
01:27:42.000 --> 01:27:43.840
It stop me if I'm talking out of turn.

1634
01:27:44.079 --> 01:27:45.520
Go ahead, we can dress the navy.

1635
01:27:46.319 --> 01:27:46.760
Is it true?

1636
01:27:46.800 --> 01:27:49.119
He's offered to design and build at his own expense

1637
01:27:49.439 --> 01:27:53.760
a feet of underwater cargo boots, uh, submersible printers up

1638
01:27:53.800 --> 01:27:56.479
to five or six thousand tons, but a do away

1639
01:27:56.479 --> 01:27:57.960
with the submarine minutes altogether.

1640
01:27:58.039 --> 01:27:58.800
Where did you hear that?

1641
01:27:59.199 --> 01:27:59.439
Well?

1642
01:27:59.560 --> 01:27:59.880
Just through?

1643
01:28:01.159 --> 01:28:05.680
Is it true? Yes, it's true?

1644
01:28:05.760 --> 01:28:05.880
Or not?

1645
01:28:06.600 --> 01:28:08.680
You see, mister Shepherd, I'm one of the cute people

1646
01:28:08.680 --> 01:28:11.840
who believe that plan is practical. There must be a

1647
01:28:11.880 --> 01:28:13.720
lot of people who would like to see mister Nayler

1648
01:28:14.439 --> 01:28:17.560
put out of the way. There are commander only they

1649
01:28:17.600 --> 01:28:20.159
can't get at him. You're quite sure of.

1650
01:28:20.119 --> 01:28:23.560
That dead Sure Hitler himself isn't better?

1651
01:28:23.600 --> 01:28:23.840
God?

1652
01:28:25.079 --> 01:28:27.880
Why you can no more shoot or stab or poison

1653
01:28:27.960 --> 01:28:28.520
the chief.

1654
01:28:28.319 --> 01:28:28.800
Than you could?

1655
01:28:30.760 --> 01:28:31.199
What does that?

1656
01:28:31.239 --> 01:28:31.720
What happened?

1657
01:28:31.800 --> 01:28:35.920
Monica? Is anything wrong back there? It's all right, sir,

1658
01:28:35.960 --> 01:28:37.960
It's only a noise in the pantry. We'll say to it.

1659
01:28:38.079 --> 01:28:39.840
Runica, Nica, put yourself together.

1660
01:28:39.880 --> 01:28:40.279
What's wrong?

1661
01:28:40.560 --> 01:28:41.399
It's that airhouses?

1662
01:28:41.479 --> 01:28:41.840
Miss Lee?

1663
01:28:42.159 --> 01:28:42.600
What about her?

1664
01:28:42.640 --> 01:28:44.640
She's lying back in the pantry among the broken dishes

1665
01:28:44.680 --> 01:28:47.359
with a headhole over blood. Nobody beat her over the

1666
01:28:47.399 --> 01:28:48.439
head and left to there to die.

1667
01:28:48.600 --> 01:28:51.319
Somebody yes, but nobody's gone back to the pantry.

1668
01:28:51.600 --> 01:28:53.479
Nobody's gone past the success kept the part of the

1669
01:28:53.479 --> 01:28:55.760
co part of this plane. Remember, excuse me.

1670
01:28:55.720 --> 01:28:58.560
Mister Shepherd, I'm going to open the curtains on that window.

1671
01:28:58.600 --> 01:29:00.479
Do you think it's wise, Commander? We would told not to.

1672
01:29:00.760 --> 01:29:03.000
We were told a lot of things. I'll just take

1673
01:29:03.000 --> 01:29:07.960
the responsibility of Good Lord San har Monica, mister Naylor,

1674
01:29:08.039 --> 01:29:10.439
mister Nayler, yes, son, what's up? Draw the curtain on

1675
01:29:10.479 --> 01:29:13.039
your window and take a look down. O'reiley and Cohen

1676
01:29:13.039 --> 01:29:15.000
have got guns. They better keep them handy, he says.

1677
01:29:15.000 --> 01:29:15.039
So.

1678
01:29:15.279 --> 01:29:18.479
No, why because we're not flying west. We're over the

1679
01:29:18.560 --> 01:29:21.560
Atlantic Ocean now and headed straight out to sea from.

1680
01:29:43.399 --> 01:29:48.000
Ray Water in cloud must be miles and miles away

1681
01:29:48.039 --> 01:29:48.560
from land.

1682
01:29:48.920 --> 01:29:50.560
We are miles away from land.

1683
01:29:51.159 --> 01:29:52.840
Does anybody here know anything about first aid?

1684
01:29:53.119 --> 01:29:55.640
I do with, Commander, I started medicine the other day.

1685
01:29:55.640 --> 01:29:56.880
And then you better go back and look after the

1686
01:29:56.880 --> 01:29:59.439
hostess you joined, mister Nailer, steady.

1687
01:29:59.119 --> 01:30:03.159
Minae, I'm all right, it's this horrible blind team air pocket.

1688
01:30:03.159 --> 01:30:05.359
Look where over the ocean?

1689
01:30:05.640 --> 01:30:06.840
What the devil's going on here?

1690
01:30:06.840 --> 01:30:07.039
Eh?

1691
01:30:07.800 --> 01:30:10.640
You were being kidnapped, mister Naylor, that's my guess, hid

1692
01:30:10.720 --> 01:30:11.880
napp Did you say.

1693
01:30:11.800 --> 01:30:14.640
Ah, come off at commander. We in as dumb as.

1694
01:30:14.439 --> 01:30:16.600
That the pilot and the co pilot of this plane

1695
01:30:16.640 --> 01:30:20.479
are fakes. They replaced the real officer on a dark

1696
01:30:20.560 --> 01:30:23.239
day like this, with their raincoat collars turned up, they

1697
01:30:23.239 --> 01:30:25.680
could have gotten away with it. Have hijacked us straight

1698
01:30:25.680 --> 01:30:26.399
off the airfield?

1699
01:30:26.880 --> 01:30:27.239
Is that?

1700
01:30:27.399 --> 01:30:27.600
Yes?

1701
01:30:27.640 --> 01:30:30.479
I'm afraid the hostess must have spotted one of them

1702
01:30:30.520 --> 01:30:31.159
and knocked her out.

1703
01:30:31.319 --> 01:30:33.680
And what about the airport? They know a plane was

1704
01:30:33.720 --> 01:30:34.359
missing or not?

1705
01:30:34.479 --> 01:30:37.479
Until we failed to show up at Philadelphia, the pilot

1706
01:30:37.520 --> 01:30:40.680
would report by aero radio telephone about.

1707
01:30:40.840 --> 01:30:42.159
Fifteen minutes out of New York.

1708
01:30:42.560 --> 01:30:46.960
But after that silence, excuse me, come, they say, these

1709
01:30:46.960 --> 01:30:50.359
two fake pilots are still aboard in that compartment there

1710
01:30:50.399 --> 01:30:51.159
with the closed door.

1711
01:30:51.239 --> 01:30:52.239
Yes, that's right.

1712
01:30:52.479 --> 01:30:54.439
What are we waiting for a corn We'll get to

1713
01:30:54.439 --> 01:30:56.680
work on them. Wait a minute, Wait a minute, both

1714
01:30:56.720 --> 01:30:56.920
of them.

1715
01:30:56.960 --> 01:30:58.439
You wouldn't be trying to stop us, would you?

1716
01:30:58.479 --> 01:30:58.760
Command?

1717
01:30:59.039 --> 01:30:59.399
One thing?

1718
01:30:59.439 --> 01:31:01.680
We don't want. There's a gunfight twelve thousand feet up.

1719
01:31:03.039 --> 01:31:04.359
Can any of you fly a plane?

1720
01:31:04.720 --> 01:31:06.880
No, not one of us and leave the can I

1721
01:31:08.000 --> 01:31:09.720
So if anything happens to those two pilots.

1722
01:31:09.760 --> 01:31:13.039
How are we going to get down? I say, young fellow, Well,

1723
01:31:14.039 --> 01:31:17.520
what are you going to do? First of all, we'll

1724
01:31:17.600 --> 01:31:18.880
try rapping on the door.

1725
01:31:20.239 --> 01:31:26.960
Have your gun right, you can cut on that quiet.

1726
01:31:26.680 --> 01:31:29.680
Mind the scrap of paper you picked up?

1727
01:31:29.720 --> 01:31:34.840
Off the scrap of paper, Never mind, sir, fight this door.

1728
01:31:35.800 --> 01:31:36.680
It's unlocked.

1729
01:31:37.279 --> 01:31:40.640
Unlocked now, don't take any food chances, young feller, the

1730
01:31:40.680 --> 01:31:43.119
way I always did when I was your age, Stand

1731
01:31:43.159 --> 01:31:45.399
on one side. When you open that door, the corner

1732
01:31:45.399 --> 01:31:46.399
will already take care of it.

1733
01:31:48.960 --> 01:31:49.239
Good.

1734
01:31:49.319 --> 01:31:55.279
Look, well the controlled cabin is empty. There's nobody at

1735
01:31:55.279 --> 01:31:55.920
the controls.

1736
01:31:59.840 --> 01:32:03.439
You mean, way we're flying without a pilot.

1737
01:32:04.239 --> 01:32:08.279
Yes, see that stick move back and forth as though

1738
01:32:08.279 --> 01:32:12.760
a ghost head whole of it. Those crooks do they

1739
01:32:12.800 --> 01:32:16.680
set the automatic controls. It's a gyroscope attachment that keeps

1740
01:32:16.680 --> 01:32:18.720
are steady. And then they must have bailout.

1741
01:32:19.239 --> 01:32:20.520
And what's that happened to us?

1742
01:32:21.359 --> 01:32:23.680
You see, Monica? The fact is, go on, said tell

1743
01:32:23.680 --> 01:32:24.159
me the truth.

1744
01:32:25.039 --> 01:32:27.760
I'll know If you don't, well, we'll go on so

1745
01:32:27.880 --> 01:32:29.960
our gas runs out, or until the storm it's us.

1746
01:32:30.600 --> 01:32:33.319
Then we'll dive into the sea. It's a good way

1747
01:32:33.359 --> 01:32:34.960
of killing mister Naylor, is any.

1748
01:32:35.399 --> 01:32:40.359
I see, son, have we got any chance at all?

1749
01:32:40.399 --> 01:32:41.359
Frankly, I don't know.

1750
01:32:42.920 --> 01:32:45.319
Well I get a look inside of that control cabit.

1751
01:32:45.640 --> 01:32:47.880
Holy whether that's till us.

1752
01:32:51.960 --> 01:32:54.000
Go and stop it? Stop it?

1753
01:32:54.640 --> 01:32:57.479
Yeah, mister Naylor, stop playing that in front of my organ,

1754
01:32:58.079 --> 01:32:59.960
or you must play it. Play something cheerful.

1755
01:33:00.239 --> 01:33:03.960
Yes, sure, mister Nayler's sure. How long do you think

1756
01:33:03.960 --> 01:33:04.960
it'll be before.

1757
01:33:05.520 --> 01:33:08.600
Mister commander back again? Then fell?

1758
01:33:09.319 --> 01:33:12.319
Radio telephones out of order? We can't signal?

1759
01:33:12.399 --> 01:33:14.760
Said? What about those patrol ships you staid? They're two

1760
01:33:14.800 --> 01:33:17.720
hundred miles out to watch for unidentified aircraft.

1761
01:33:17.760 --> 01:33:21.680
They've seen us already. I expect they'll send for an

1762
01:33:21.800 --> 01:33:23.279
army fighter plane to investigate.

1763
01:33:23.279 --> 01:33:25.199
But what can it do?

1764
01:33:25.520 --> 01:33:28.800
Yeah, shout us down? Maybe, Eh, that's fine.

1765
01:33:28.479 --> 01:33:30.479
If only somebody could fly the plane.

1766
01:33:30.560 --> 01:33:33.239
Well, nobody can't skip us, So think of something else.

1767
01:33:34.279 --> 01:33:38.279
See, mister Naylor, I was wrong, wrong, son, about what.

1768
01:33:39.039 --> 01:33:43.199
One of your party? And I can guess which one dropped?

1769
01:33:43.199 --> 01:33:46.239
A torn piece of paper. There was a line of

1770
01:33:46.239 --> 01:33:50.159
writing on it, probably the end of some instructions. Well

1771
01:33:50.760 --> 01:33:56.039
those instructions ended. You should land just as your fuel fails.

1772
01:33:56.039 --> 01:33:57.840
At seven o'clock a m.

1773
01:33:58.279 --> 01:34:03.159
You should land just as your fails at seven o'clock am.

1774
01:34:03.399 --> 01:34:05.760
But that might not have anything to do with the sun.

1775
01:34:06.439 --> 01:34:09.319
What made you suspicious of it because it was written

1776
01:34:09.399 --> 01:34:09.920
in German?

1777
01:34:10.560 --> 01:34:14.560
Jamous, quiet Colin, I can't hear myself think.

1778
01:34:14.720 --> 01:34:16.880
Okay, okay, mister Naylor, I'm sorry.

1779
01:34:17.279 --> 01:34:20.159
I thought the fake pilots were kidnapping you maybe abroad.

1780
01:34:20.479 --> 01:34:22.960
There's not enough cure that is that if there's enough

1781
01:34:22.960 --> 01:34:24.760
fuel for Los Angeles, then there's enough for Europe.

1782
01:34:26.279 --> 01:34:28.840
Well, that won't work. They bailed out and left us

1783
01:34:28.880 --> 01:34:29.279
to crash.

1784
01:34:29.640 --> 01:34:33.239
Excuse me, sir, Well it's getting black as pitch out there.

1785
01:34:33.680 --> 01:34:36.680
I think there's a storm coming up. What happens when

1786
01:34:37.039 --> 01:34:39.800
that hits clenty? O'Reilly clinchy?

1787
01:34:40.239 --> 01:34:41.560
Oh well, I was afraid of that.

1788
01:34:42.199 --> 01:34:45.439
If only somebody could fly this plane, I could navigate it,

1789
01:34:45.640 --> 01:34:46.159
navigate it.

1790
01:34:46.439 --> 01:34:48.239
Yes, you have to learn.

1791
01:34:48.199 --> 01:34:49.960
Areal navigation in my business.

1792
01:34:50.239 --> 01:34:53.840
With enough figuring, I might even set a new course

1793
01:34:53.880 --> 01:34:55.520
and try the automatic controls on it.

1794
01:34:56.560 --> 01:34:58.159
No, I don't dare handle the ship.

1795
01:34:58.359 --> 01:34:59.159
Wait a minute.

1796
01:35:00.079 --> 01:35:00.680
All the way out of.

1797
01:35:00.600 --> 01:35:02.960
This well speak up list is the ninety fi win

1798
01:35:03.000 --> 01:35:04.079
is going to hit us any minutes.

1799
01:35:04.159 --> 01:35:06.279
The air hostess, of course, miss Lee.

1800
01:35:06.720 --> 01:35:07.319
What about her?

1801
01:35:07.520 --> 01:35:10.520
I remember reading somewhere the most air hostesses get flying

1802
01:35:10.520 --> 01:35:12.479
instructions when they've been with the company for a well

1803
01:35:12.479 --> 01:35:13.720
a given length of time.

1804
01:35:13.720 --> 01:35:16.199
You know, miss Dale, that's true. There was a girl

1805
01:35:16.199 --> 01:35:17.840
have been her Airways who told me the same thing.

1806
01:35:17.920 --> 01:35:19.399
And if this one can even make a try at

1807
01:35:19.479 --> 01:35:21.800
landing a plane, who we may get back to New York.

1808
01:35:21.880 --> 01:35:23.479
Yet she said, you'd be knocked out.

1809
01:35:23.760 --> 01:35:25.800
She isn't badly hurt, but there's just a chance that

1810
01:35:25.880 --> 01:35:27.239
maybe she's there.

1811
01:35:27.319 --> 01:35:30.640
Shepherd coming back from the pantry, got a drink. Wasn't

1812
01:35:30.720 --> 01:35:31.720
very pleasant back there.

1813
01:35:31.840 --> 01:35:33.760
How is she? You know? We were just wondering whether

1814
01:35:33.760 --> 01:35:35.880
miss Lee might be in any Sheep to pilot the plane.

1815
01:35:35.960 --> 01:35:39.239
Pilot the plane, ye Blazer, Should she pilot the plane?

1816
01:35:39.279 --> 01:35:42.119
There's no time to explain now, Shepherd, that we're bound

1817
01:35:42.199 --> 01:35:44.920
for Davy Jones unless something's done. Could she do it?

1818
01:35:45.560 --> 01:35:49.720
No, not even if we vibed her. Not of all

1819
01:35:49.720 --> 01:35:52.720
the doctors on earth to the side. But I don't

1820
01:35:52.760 --> 01:35:56.000
think you understand, sir. Miss Lee has just died.

1821
01:36:00.039 --> 01:36:00.399
Mhm.

1822
01:36:09.640 --> 01:36:13.119
In singing of wind above the clouds, then storm with

1823
01:36:13.159 --> 01:36:16.039
a white eye of lightning at the windows, losing height,

1824
01:36:16.119 --> 01:36:19.239
gaining it again, blown off her blind course, flung part

1825
01:36:19.279 --> 01:36:22.760
way back again, always racing forward on a flight to nowhere.

1826
01:36:23.319 --> 01:36:27.560
Late afternoon, evening night, the steady throbbing of motors like

1827
01:36:27.600 --> 01:36:31.000
a pulse beat inside the head. Towards morning, the storm

1828
01:36:31.119 --> 01:36:35.119
dies away. In that dim cabin, there is exhaustion of nerves.

1829
01:36:36.279 --> 01:36:39.119
The hands of the clock stands at a quarter of

1830
01:36:39.199 --> 01:36:40.319
two in the morning.

1831
01:36:46.119 --> 01:36:57.520
Mania, Monica, wake up, Oh it's spread. Keep your voice down, yes, for.

1832
01:36:57.479 --> 01:36:59.920
A couple of hours.

1833
01:37:00.039 --> 01:37:02.800
The condemned criminals sleep on the night before their execution.

1834
01:37:04.439 --> 01:37:05.239
Where are the others?

1835
01:37:06.880 --> 01:37:09.720
I was a boy back home the county, down the

1836
01:37:11.039 --> 01:37:14.640
valley's academy, and where ther rillies? And he did you

1837
01:37:14.680 --> 01:37:15.760
ever see a bad seat?

1838
01:37:16.520 --> 01:37:17.239
A bands?

1839
01:37:17.479 --> 01:37:19.880
He is the old woman and lets you know you're

1840
01:37:19.920 --> 01:37:20.439
gonna die.

1841
01:37:20.560 --> 01:37:22.159
Wipe down you two.

1842
01:37:22.600 --> 01:37:26.319
I'm sorry, no, no offense, chief And the man.

1843
01:37:26.279 --> 01:37:29.279
Played a fart game solidaire without somebody gating all the time,

1844
01:37:30.279 --> 01:37:31.600
like nine on Red Dead.

1845
01:37:32.159 --> 01:37:36.920
Listen Monica, and listen carefully. My first idea was, right,

1846
01:37:36.960 --> 01:37:40.840
after all, what are you talking about? There's somebody aboard

1847
01:37:40.880 --> 01:37:42.840
this ship who can fly a plane?

1848
01:37:43.560 --> 01:37:48.119
Sh there is. I proved it by the automatic controls

1849
01:37:48.720 --> 01:37:49.119
proved it.

1850
01:37:49.199 --> 01:37:52.920
How if those controls had stayed as they originally were,

1851
01:37:53.560 --> 01:37:55.840
the side winds would have brown us clear off our course.

1852
01:37:56.520 --> 01:37:58.119
But we're still on our course.

1853
01:37:59.119 --> 01:38:01.239
That shows that some but he's been sneaking in there

1854
01:38:01.680 --> 01:38:04.640
and setting us right again when we do straight and

1855
01:38:05.720 --> 01:38:07.720
you mean, I mean we're headed for someone.

1856
01:38:08.640 --> 01:38:14.479
We're being taken somewhere. We may out with this gentleman.

1857
01:38:14.159 --> 01:38:18.720
Yet out who if somebody's still talking about I'm sorry,

1858
01:38:18.760 --> 01:38:21.279
mister Naylor, Monica is just right up. None of us

1859
01:38:21.279 --> 01:38:23.199
can see you very much like sleeping anyway.

1860
01:38:23.039 --> 01:38:25.600
All right, son, I admitted come up here and joy

1861
01:38:25.760 --> 01:38:26.000
with it.

1862
01:38:26.199 --> 01:38:27.159
The pleasure.

1863
01:38:28.640 --> 01:38:31.760
Tightens card game, but I still can't make it come out.

1864
01:38:33.199 --> 01:38:36.319
Oh what's the use pretending anyway? We know we're in

1865
01:38:36.399 --> 01:38:39.760
for it. It's this waiting the kitchen.

1866
01:38:39.920 --> 01:38:42.640
Yeah, yeah, that goes for all of us, mister Nayler.

1867
01:38:43.079 --> 01:38:46.760
What I'm reading is when those motors choke from good

1868
01:38:46.840 --> 01:38:54.720
dead and we start worrying down, down down? What does

1869
01:38:54.840 --> 01:38:58.199
sound like, commander, when when motors come out. I've never

1870
01:38:58.239 --> 01:38:58.960
heard of, mister.

1871
01:38:58.840 --> 01:39:03.000
Nannor, but I imagine it sounds like I imagine it

1872
01:39:03.039 --> 01:39:03.720
sounds like fat.

1873
01:39:03.920 --> 01:39:05.640
You're a losing higher. I could feel it.

1874
01:39:05.880 --> 01:39:07.920
Well, Corn, I guess this is the payoff.

1875
01:39:08.000 --> 01:39:08.800
Yeah, you said it.

1876
01:39:10.439 --> 01:39:13.439
Look, chemist Naylor, we can't be out of fuel because.

1877
01:39:13.119 --> 01:39:13.680
It's too early.

1878
01:39:14.079 --> 01:39:16.680
Look at the club, it's only five minutes to two o'clock.

1879
01:39:16.720 --> 01:39:18.720
I beg your pardon, old man, it's five minutes to

1880
01:39:18.800 --> 01:39:19.439
seven o'clock.

1881
01:39:19.479 --> 01:39:20.119
Seven o'clock.

1882
01:39:20.680 --> 01:39:21.359
Are you crazy?

1883
01:39:21.479 --> 01:39:21.560
No?

1884
01:39:22.279 --> 01:39:24.840
Haven't you forgotten the cross ocean changes in time.

1885
01:39:25.000 --> 01:39:26.880
By George the Commander's.

1886
01:39:26.399 --> 01:39:29.319
Right, European time is five hours ahead of our time.

1887
01:39:30.079 --> 01:39:30.760
You don't believe me.

1888
01:39:30.880 --> 01:39:34.119
Just notice that it's getting daylight outside. I was thinking

1889
01:39:34.159 --> 01:39:38.199
of that message. You should land just as your fuel

1890
01:39:38.319 --> 01:39:43.039
fails at seven o'clock. Am, Stand perfectly still, all of you.

1891
01:39:44.479 --> 01:39:46.920
What's got in a little arge? Parcelroy, I'll show you

1892
01:39:46.960 --> 01:39:48.119
what's got into me and my friend.

1893
01:39:48.199 --> 01:39:49.439
Yes, I rather thought you would.

1894
01:39:49.680 --> 01:39:51.600
I shall go into that control cabin.

1895
01:39:52.319 --> 01:39:53.199
Follow me if you like.

1896
01:39:53.960 --> 01:39:56.600
I shall sit down at the controls, and I shall

1897
01:39:56.600 --> 01:39:59.239
bring this plane safely to the ground, safe me to

1898
01:39:59.279 --> 01:40:03.239
the ground where in Germany? Of course Germany. Don't pull

1899
01:40:03.239 --> 01:40:04.920
a gun, Corn, if you're pugin, we're all done for.

1900
01:40:05.279 --> 01:40:08.359
That is good advice, mister Cohen. I might add that

1901
01:40:08.359 --> 01:40:10.960
we're getting closer to the ground every minute. For that,

1902
01:40:12.000 --> 01:40:13.159
do I take control?

1903
01:40:13.439 --> 01:40:17.600
Yes, go ahead, but we're following.

1904
01:40:17.159 --> 01:40:22.920
You follow by all means. All right, let's get comfortable here.

1905
01:40:23.319 --> 01:40:24.560
I take up my position, so.

1906
01:40:24.800 --> 01:40:25.520
It's pot blow.

1907
01:40:25.600 --> 01:40:27.199
Can you see well enough?

1908
01:40:27.319 --> 01:40:27.760
Mistakes?

1909
01:40:27.920 --> 01:40:28.479
Well enough?

1910
01:40:29.560 --> 01:40:32.800
We must go down rather quickly, and I can't help

1911
01:40:33.000 --> 01:40:34.159
if it's somewhat rough.

1912
01:40:33.960 --> 01:40:36.159
On your head, young, Fine, what's the idea?

1913
01:40:36.439 --> 01:40:39.279
The idea, dear patron, is to bring you and your

1914
01:40:39.319 --> 01:40:42.359
plans for a submarine crater to a country which will

1915
01:40:42.359 --> 01:40:46.119
appreciate them. And those two fake pilots were a colleagued mine.

1916
01:40:46.800 --> 01:40:50.279
Unfortunately they have remained. Your pug auglies would have started

1917
01:40:50.279 --> 01:40:52.920
a gunfight, and none of us might have got here well.

1918
01:40:53.560 --> 01:40:57.000
So they left by parachute, and I brought you safely

1919
01:40:57.039 --> 01:41:00.199
without blood or toil the boundaries of the third right.

1920
01:41:01.000 --> 01:41:03.359
You're going down too fast, man, I'll take it easy.

1921
01:41:03.520 --> 01:41:11.600
I am perfectly in command, thank you.

1922
01:41:14.600 --> 01:41:15.079
M hm.

1923
01:41:16.520 --> 01:41:19.960
Oh h h.

1924
01:41:22.640 --> 01:41:25.359
Are you all right? Manka? Are you all right?

1925
01:41:26.800 --> 01:41:26.960
Oh?

1926
01:41:27.000 --> 01:41:27.800
My bits shaking up?

1927
01:41:27.800 --> 01:41:30.279
We're all okay here, skipper. Shall I give this kut

1928
01:41:30.319 --> 01:41:31.760
of works now before they come to get us?

1929
01:41:32.119 --> 01:41:34.039
Don't you let him alone?

1930
01:41:34.239 --> 01:41:37.560
That also is good advice. And now, my friends, my

1931
01:41:37.600 --> 01:41:41.039
mission is ended. I stand up on the pilot's chair.

1932
01:41:41.520 --> 01:41:44.239
I throw open this glass hatch, and toward Germany to

1933
01:41:44.319 --> 01:41:46.520
all the world, I cry, here's just ask your stolen

1934
01:41:46.520 --> 01:41:48.880
a flut so I can be grief to London, now

1935
01:41:48.479 --> 01:41:54.560
fell Island, Franci high head. Now will strike me blind

1936
01:41:54.600 --> 01:41:57.319
to attaint another one? Yes, first Rudolph has and all

1937
01:41:57.359 --> 01:41:57.800
this blow?

1938
01:41:58.000 --> 01:41:59.479
What just suppose they want over there?

1939
01:42:00.880 --> 01:42:03.520
Why are you speaking English?

1940
01:42:02.199 --> 01:42:05.960
Why it's an even advatt We've gotten this contract. This

1941
01:42:06.199 --> 01:42:09.399
isn't England's. Oh yes it is better. Climb out of

1942
01:42:09.399 --> 01:42:11.439
here and with your hands up. But it can't be.

1943
01:42:12.119 --> 01:42:14.840
I followed the course laid down on those instruments. Unfortunately,

1944
01:42:14.920 --> 01:42:17.800
old man, I altered our course last night. Keep back, shepherd,

1945
01:42:17.880 --> 01:42:19.159
or you may get the bullets in the head. Yet,

1946
01:42:19.239 --> 01:42:21.520
your instructions were all right, but they didn't tell you

1947
01:42:21.560 --> 01:42:24.960
about the five hours difference in time. When we got

1948
01:42:24.960 --> 01:42:27.000
to the right navigation point, I let the fuel out

1949
01:42:27.000 --> 01:42:29.279
of the tanks and made you think we were landing

1950
01:42:29.279 --> 01:42:32.439
in Germany. You know, there's nothing like having a good

1951
01:42:32.640 --> 01:42:34.159
Nazi for a taxi driver.

1952
01:42:34.319 --> 01:42:34.640
Is there?

1953
01:42:36.079 --> 01:42:54.359
And so ends death flies blind starring Richard Dix with

1954
01:42:54.479 --> 01:42:58.079
Gaiale Page and Montague Love The Night's Tale.

1955
01:42:57.760 --> 01:42:59.720
Of the Ten.

1956
01:43:04.399 --> 01:43:08.600
William Spear, the producer, Head Bliss, Director at Laska, and

1957
01:43:08.640 --> 01:43:13.119
Lucian Mahowick the conductor and composer. John Dixon Carr, the author,

1958
01:43:13.640 --> 01:43:16.439
collaborated on Tonight's a.

1959
01:43:16.520 --> 01:43:46.680
Spend This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.

1960
01:43:47.079 --> 01:43:54.000
Well, my dear, as the night grows deeper, I can't

1961
01:43:54.079 --> 01:43:59.439
help but wonder what things in life can we fight against?

1962
01:44:00.520 --> 01:44:06.600
And how often is that fight for not? After all,

1963
01:44:07.560 --> 01:44:15.279
many things we resist are simply self evident. Our concerns,

1964
01:44:15.520 --> 01:44:23.039
our worries, our fear, in a way, just a law

1965
01:44:24.079 --> 01:44:26.039
of physics.

1966
01:44:27.720 --> 01:44:30.319
And now stay tuned for the mystery program. That is

1967
01:44:30.439 --> 01:44:33.800
unique among all mystery programs because even when you know

1968
01:44:33.880 --> 01:44:37.680
who is guilty, you always receive a startling surprise at

1969
01:44:37.680 --> 01:44:54.479
the final curtain. In the Signal Oil program, the Whistler signal,

1970
01:44:54.800 --> 01:44:57.600
the famous go Father gasoline invites you to sit back

1971
01:44:57.640 --> 01:45:01.920
and enjoy another strange story by the whistler.

1972
01:45:19.600 --> 01:45:23.159
I am the whistler, and I know many things. For

1973
01:45:23.319 --> 01:45:27.239
I walk by night. I know many strange tales hidden

1974
01:45:27.239 --> 01:45:29.239
in the hearts of men and women who have stepped

1975
01:45:29.279 --> 01:45:33.760
into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless terrors of

1976
01:45:33.840 --> 01:45:35.520
which they dare not speak.

1977
01:45:39.680 --> 01:45:43.039
And now for the Signal Oil Company, the Whistler strange

1978
01:45:43.079 --> 01:45:47.359
story a law of physics.

1979
01:45:57.680 --> 01:46:00.600
The narrow, twisting road that hugged the canyon wall was

1980
01:46:00.640 --> 01:46:04.720
precarious at best, but at the height of a driving rainstorm,

1981
01:46:04.800 --> 01:46:09.079
it became a treacherous, uncharted course, and Ross Warren's car

1982
01:46:09.159 --> 01:46:11.399
was literally out of control as he tried to steer

1983
01:46:11.479 --> 01:46:14.640
it safely down the canyon. The headlights were of little

1984
01:46:14.640 --> 01:46:17.239
help as the rain washed across the windshield in great

1985
01:46:17.279 --> 01:46:21.000
sheets that obscured his vision. The older man seated next

1986
01:46:21.039 --> 01:46:24.720
to Ross, his hands braced against the panel, peering tensely

1987
01:46:24.760 --> 01:46:28.680
through its windshield, was Dexter Brand, important client of the

1988
01:46:28.760 --> 01:46:32.960
Ross Warren advertising agency. Suddenly, in between the waves of rain,

1989
01:46:33.479 --> 01:46:35.760
Ross could see the road ahead of him quite clearly.

1990
01:46:35.840 --> 01:46:38.800
For just an instant, a split second, the car was

1991
01:46:38.840 --> 01:46:41.000
headed for the far side of the road and a

1992
01:46:41.079 --> 01:46:44.720
sheer drop of several hundred feet. With one tremendous effort,

1993
01:46:44.840 --> 01:46:46.760
Ross turned sharply, plied the.

1994
01:46:46.760 --> 01:46:48.880
Wet brakes, and green headlong toward them.

1995
01:46:48.920 --> 01:46:49.039
Up.

1996
01:46:58.039 --> 01:46:59.199
Are you all right, mister Brad?

1997
01:47:01.279 --> 01:47:05.880
Yes, I'm all right, Thank goodness, I'm sorry, really sorry.

1998
01:47:06.119 --> 01:47:08.399
I don't know what happened to this car, and I

1999
01:47:08.439 --> 01:47:12.840
couldn't see never seen such a storm. Now what do

2000
01:47:12.920 --> 01:47:16.560
we do? I don't think we have much choice, mister Brand.

2001
01:47:17.319 --> 01:47:19.479
You know there aren't many cars on this road, even

2002
01:47:19.479 --> 01:47:22.520
in good weather. Come on, I guess we'll have to

2003
01:47:22.560 --> 01:47:27.000
walk at least as far as the Edgeley Place. Of course,

2004
01:47:27.000 --> 01:47:29.119
that's a good mile down the canyon from here. But

2005
01:47:29.399 --> 01:47:33.520
they've got a phone. All right, But well, i'll be

2006
01:47:34.039 --> 01:47:37.640
what is it, mister Brand? A car coming around the

2007
01:47:37.680 --> 01:47:43.159
curve ahead of us, Hey, you're there, give it the

2008
01:47:43.199 --> 01:47:43.920
head we are.

2009
01:47:46.640 --> 01:47:48.600
That looks like you needed anybody hurt?

2010
01:47:48.760 --> 01:47:53.039
No, no, not hurt. Can you take us back to town? Sure,

2011
01:47:53.159 --> 01:47:54.640
pil in, I'll get the bags.

2012
01:47:54.720 --> 01:47:55.640
Ain't any help with them?

2013
01:47:55.760 --> 01:47:57.520
No, no, I've got them.

2014
01:47:57.520 --> 01:48:02.399
Okay, I'll just put him in the back seat here.

2015
01:48:06.399 --> 01:48:09.079
I don't know who you are, young man, but you're

2016
01:48:09.119 --> 01:48:12.920
a friend of mine. My name's Brand, Dexter Brand.

2017
01:48:13.039 --> 01:48:14.960
Glad to know you, mister Brand. I'm Bob Turner.

2018
01:48:15.279 --> 01:48:18.359
Oh and this is Ross Warre and mister Turner, how

2019
01:48:18.399 --> 01:48:21.159
do you do I think if you'll drive ahead for

2020
01:48:21.199 --> 01:48:23.000
about a quarter of a mile. You'll find a place

2021
01:48:23.000 --> 01:48:24.720
wide enough to turn around in, mister Turner.

2022
01:48:24.800 --> 01:48:27.640
Okay, thanks, yeah, but what about your car? We'd better

2023
01:48:27.680 --> 01:48:28.640
call a garage, hadn't we.

2024
01:48:28.880 --> 01:48:31.800
It's a good idea, but hadn't we better wait till

2025
01:48:31.840 --> 01:48:32.560
we get to a phone.

2026
01:48:32.640 --> 01:48:34.640
We don't have to, mister Warren. I've got a phone

2027
01:48:34.640 --> 01:48:38.279
here in the car you have. I've heard of him,

2028
01:48:38.439 --> 01:48:40.600
a wonderful gadget. Believe me, I wouldn't be with that.

2029
01:48:40.720 --> 01:48:44.239
One just installs service in this area. What's the name

2030
01:48:44.239 --> 01:48:45.319
of your garage.

2031
01:48:44.920 --> 01:48:50.359
In Tom Hoffman's phone numbers Lawton three two sixty four.

2032
01:48:50.560 --> 01:48:52.720
Well, this star might give us some trouble on the call,

2033
01:48:52.800 --> 01:48:55.600
but it's worth a try. Only trick is this button.

2034
01:48:55.720 --> 01:48:57.880
You push it down to talk, release it to listen.

2035
01:49:01.680 --> 01:49:03.159
This is your mobile operator.

2036
01:49:04.479 --> 01:49:08.359
This is w J six five three eighty three. I

2037
01:49:08.399 --> 01:49:10.560
want Lawton three two sixty four.

2038
01:49:11.439 --> 01:49:12.359
One moment, please.

2039
01:49:25.920 --> 01:49:30.079
Pakman's garage is Plotton three two six four.

2040
01:49:31.319 --> 01:49:34.960
I have a call for you one moment, Please go ahead.

2041
01:49:34.640 --> 01:49:37.039
Please here, mister Warren. The garage is on the lone.

2042
01:49:37.039 --> 01:49:40.520
Oh thanks, Hello, This is Ross Warren.

2043
01:49:41.159 --> 01:49:42.600
Oh, yes, this is Tom.

2044
01:49:42.680 --> 01:49:43.720
Mister Warren what's the.

2045
01:49:43.680 --> 01:49:46.840
Trouble wreck my car on Willow Canyon Road?

2046
01:49:46.960 --> 01:49:50.680
Tom, I'm okay, but the car's in bad shape far up,

2047
01:49:51.560 --> 01:49:55.199
about about fifteen miles from town, a mile or so

2048
01:49:55.319 --> 01:49:57.760
above the Edgeley Place. Better send a toe car and

2049
01:49:57.800 --> 01:50:00.600
get this wreck off the road before someone piles in it.

2050
01:50:00.880 --> 01:50:04.159
Right away, mister Warren, you'll be riding in with us.

2051
01:50:04.640 --> 01:50:08.399
No, no, I've got a ride, Tom. Do the best

2052
01:50:08.439 --> 01:50:10.159
you can, huh, and let me know when you get

2053
01:50:10.159 --> 01:50:13.960
through looking her over you'll be mister Warren. Goodbye, Tom,

2054
01:50:14.359 --> 01:50:14.920
and thanks.

2055
01:50:28.359 --> 01:50:31.279
The car phone made a deep impression on dexter Brand's,

2056
01:50:31.279 --> 01:50:34.479
your biggest client, didn't it, Ross, And you're certain that

2057
01:50:34.520 --> 01:50:37.479
Bob Turner, owner of the car, made an even deeper one,

2058
01:50:38.159 --> 01:50:41.079
And his dramatic appearance on the seldom travel road from

2059
01:50:41.079 --> 01:50:45.920
dexter Brand's cabin into town seems more than a mere coincidence, doesn't.

2060
01:50:46.880 --> 01:50:50.239
The next morning, as you reach your office, you find that.

2061
01:50:50.239 --> 01:50:53.079
It is you been.

2062
01:50:53.079 --> 01:50:53.760
I'm frantic.

2063
01:50:54.079 --> 01:50:56.479
No, no, it couldn't be as bad as all that.

2064
01:50:56.640 --> 01:50:57.319
Well, couldn't it?

2065
01:50:57.520 --> 01:50:59.880
Oh morning, I've been crazy looking for you.

2066
01:51:00.000 --> 01:51:01.800
I'll suppose you calm down. Oh I'm done?

2067
01:51:01.880 --> 01:51:04.079
How can I He's dead? I tell you he's dead.

2068
01:51:04.079 --> 01:51:04.560
All right, dead?

2069
01:51:04.640 --> 01:51:06.720
Now he's dead. Now, who's dead.

2070
01:51:06.640 --> 01:51:07.920
Mister average American?

2071
01:51:08.239 --> 01:51:12.800
That's who's dead, Wayne Parks, the man we're featuring in

2072
01:51:12.800 --> 01:51:13.479
this month's ad.

2073
01:51:13.600 --> 01:51:17.119
Yes a stroke and Graphic Magazine is holding their presses

2074
01:51:17.159 --> 01:51:20.319
and howling for another layout right away, because well, how.

2075
01:51:20.239 --> 01:51:22.800
Can we salute mister average American when he's dead?

2076
01:51:23.479 --> 01:51:26.920
What are we going to do? Rush them next month's layout?

2077
01:51:26.920 --> 01:51:28.039
Of course, there isn't.

2078
01:51:27.880 --> 01:51:30.359
Any mister Warren. That was the last of the series.

2079
01:51:30.359 --> 01:51:32.920
Don't you remember next month it's all different.

2080
01:51:33.359 --> 01:51:34.560
That's right, I'd forgotten.

2081
01:51:36.119 --> 01:51:37.359
We are in a hole, aren't.

2082
01:51:37.159 --> 01:51:38.000
We, mister Warren?

2083
01:51:38.119 --> 01:51:39.520
If I may, you'll have to wait.

2084
01:51:39.560 --> 01:51:42.279
Mister Warren is very busy now and emergency has come up.

2085
01:51:42.439 --> 01:51:44.439
I know you left the door open, and I couldn't

2086
01:51:44.439 --> 01:51:47.800
help overhearing, mister Warren, I'm familiar with your campaign, and

2087
01:51:47.840 --> 01:51:49.600
I believe there's a simple way to save that.

2088
01:51:50.039 --> 01:51:52.840
Mister Turner again, you seem to have a knack of

2089
01:51:52.840 --> 01:51:54.279
turning up at just the right minute.

2090
01:51:54.479 --> 01:51:55.359
You've got an idea.

2091
01:51:55.560 --> 01:51:58.680
Yes, why not change the caption we salute do we

2092
01:51:59.039 --> 01:52:01.840
mourn mister average America? All the rest of it can

2093
01:52:01.880 --> 01:52:03.039
remain pretty much as it is.

2094
01:52:03.800 --> 01:52:07.680
Hey, hey, maybe you've got something there, Edna, did you hear?

2095
01:52:07.920 --> 01:52:09.039
I think that's wonderful.

2096
01:52:09.600 --> 01:52:12.680
I'm so relieved all morning, the magazine calling and me

2097
01:52:12.760 --> 01:52:13.800
not knowing where you were.

2098
01:52:14.079 --> 01:52:16.000
I don't know what you came to see me about,

2099
01:52:16.079 --> 01:52:18.000
mister Turner, but the way I feel right now, you

2100
01:52:18.000 --> 01:52:18.800
can ask anything.

2101
01:52:18.840 --> 01:52:19.520
I'll just make it.

2102
01:52:19.560 --> 01:52:19.800
Bob.

2103
01:52:20.039 --> 01:52:22.399
I'm with Blaine and Blaine, mister Warren, the big Hollywood

2104
01:52:22.399 --> 01:52:25.239
advertising agency. No wonder you had to know how on

2105
01:52:25.359 --> 01:52:28.760
the d h Okay, Bob, what can I do for you?

2106
01:52:28.880 --> 01:52:30.319
And you can make it ross?

2107
01:52:30.399 --> 01:52:30.800
Okay?

2108
01:52:31.079 --> 01:52:34.239
Well, let me tell you a story. On my last vacation,

2109
01:52:34.520 --> 01:52:38.279
someone looted my car, took everything, including my fishing tackle. So,

2110
01:52:38.479 --> 01:52:40.720
passing through Laketown here on my way to the lake,

2111
01:52:40.920 --> 01:52:43.520
I bought some new gear made by a manufacturer here in.

2112
01:52:43.520 --> 01:52:46.359
Town, the man you met last night, mister brand I

2113
01:52:46.399 --> 01:52:47.399
handle his advertising.

2114
01:52:47.479 --> 01:52:48.239
I know well.

2115
01:52:48.279 --> 01:52:50.600
His gear's wonderful, But later, when I tried to get

2116
01:52:50.600 --> 01:52:52.960
more of it in some of the eastern cities, nobody

2117
01:52:52.960 --> 01:52:54.840
had ever heard of brand fishing equipment.

2118
01:52:54.920 --> 01:52:56.680
He only sells in the Western States.

2119
01:52:56.800 --> 01:52:59.640
That's what I don't get. How Come why if he

2120
01:52:59.720 --> 01:53:02.960
everise more, is that what you're here for. Don't get

2121
01:53:03.000 --> 01:53:05.600
me wrong. I'm not trying to chisel your account, just

2122
01:53:05.640 --> 01:53:06.520
the opposite.

2123
01:53:06.720 --> 01:53:07.279
You see.

2124
01:53:07.760 --> 01:53:09.520
I'm fed up with my job and I've got a

2125
01:53:09.520 --> 01:53:12.039
little money put by, and I thought of starting my

2126
01:53:12.079 --> 01:53:16.960
own agency, maybe in some place like Laketown. Here, Oh, competition,

2127
01:53:17.079 --> 01:53:19.560
huh not if you don't want it. This is a

2128
01:53:19.560 --> 01:53:22.520
manufacturing town. I figure there must be lots of local

2129
01:53:22.560 --> 01:53:24.439
men who could triple their business if they went in

2130
01:53:24.479 --> 01:53:27.640
for wider advertising. Now you've got a nice setup here.

2131
01:53:28.199 --> 01:53:30.039
If I can sell some of them on the idea,

2132
01:53:30.760 --> 01:53:35.159
could you and I maybe talk partnership? Partnership, say on

2133
01:53:35.199 --> 01:53:37.920
any new accounts I bring in and any hikes on

2134
01:53:37.960 --> 01:53:38.640
old ones.

2135
01:53:39.560 --> 01:53:42.199
You know, Turner, I think maybe I'll give it a try.

2136
01:53:42.560 --> 01:53:45.600
Swell on one condition, you either sell mister Brand on

2137
01:53:45.680 --> 01:53:48.279
national advertising or you find yourself another town.

2138
01:53:48.640 --> 01:53:49.239
Fair enough.

2139
01:53:49.560 --> 01:53:51.720
By the way, mister Brand and his daughter are having

2140
01:53:51.760 --> 01:53:54.279
dinner with me tonight, Why why don't you join us? Hey,

2141
01:53:54.399 --> 01:53:56.479
that's great, that'll give you a chance to sound up

2142
01:53:56.520 --> 01:54:01.000
mister Brand. But no passages a kittie Brand. She's beautiful

2143
01:54:01.039 --> 01:54:04.199
and she's mine engaged. Eh, Well, we haven't announced it,

2144
01:54:04.279 --> 01:54:17.960
so mum's the word. Huh, Okay, I'll be good. You

2145
01:54:18.039 --> 01:54:20.880
thought you did that rather well, didn't you, Ross? But

2146
01:54:21.079 --> 01:54:23.520
you know that in Dexter Brand Bob Turner will come

2147
01:54:23.600 --> 01:54:26.800
up against a stone wall, and you have Bob's word

2148
01:54:26.800 --> 01:54:28.399
that if he fails, he'll leave town.

2149
01:54:29.119 --> 01:54:32.600
Yes, Ross, he'll leave. Never knowing you lied about being

2150
01:54:32.600 --> 01:54:35.000
engaged to Kitty. You couldn't know, could you that by

2151
01:54:35.039 --> 01:54:38.720
inviting him to dinner with the Brands, you were inviting disaster.

2152
01:54:39.680 --> 01:54:42.600
I'll tell you why I'm being so hard headed. You see,

2153
01:54:42.640 --> 01:54:45.920
I hate manufacturing. Got into it in spite of myself.

2154
01:54:46.239 --> 01:54:48.279
I couldn't get the kind of fishing rod I wanted,

2155
01:54:48.319 --> 01:54:50.399
so I went ahead and made one and saw it.

2156
01:54:50.600 --> 01:54:53.079
I had to make another, then another and another. First thing,

2157
01:54:53.119 --> 01:54:56.239
I know, I'm manufacturing all kinds of fishing tackle.

2158
01:54:56.560 --> 01:54:57.359
That's why I hate.

2159
01:54:57.399 --> 01:54:58.000
It.

2160
01:54:58.039 --> 01:55:00.560
Doesn't leave me enough time to fish. If I were

2161
01:55:00.600 --> 01:55:03.439
to expand, it would leave me even less. And I

2162
01:55:03.640 --> 01:55:04.520
love fishing.

2163
01:55:05.680 --> 01:55:06.520
I don't believe it.

2164
01:55:07.159 --> 01:55:08.600
I beg your pardon.

2165
01:55:08.880 --> 01:55:10.640
I said, sir that I don't think you give a

2166
01:55:10.640 --> 01:55:11.560
hoot about fishing.

2167
01:55:11.600 --> 01:55:13.960
Okay, young man, are you trying to tell me I'm

2168
01:55:14.000 --> 01:55:17.279
afraid you read the wrong line that time. Yes, young man,

2169
01:55:17.880 --> 01:55:19.600
I wish you'd explain that remark.

2170
01:55:19.760 --> 01:55:22.279
Well, you said yourself, sir, that you made rods for

2171
01:55:22.319 --> 01:55:25.159
your friends, and why because you wanted them to have

2172
01:55:25.239 --> 01:55:27.119
the best, so they could enjoy their fishing as you

2173
01:55:27.239 --> 01:55:29.760
enjoyed yours, of course, which proves you'll think of the

2174
01:55:29.800 --> 01:55:32.840
thousands of Isaac Waltons whose vacations will be spoiled for

2175
01:55:33.039 --> 01:55:35.920
lack of brand equipment. Why every time a good one

2176
01:55:35.960 --> 01:55:39.399
gets away from a polly hook or snap's an inferior rod, You,

2177
01:55:39.640 --> 01:55:41.720
mister brand, are directly responsible.

2178
01:55:43.960 --> 01:55:46.680
By Joe, That's the best argument I've heard yet.

2179
01:55:47.640 --> 01:55:52.239
Ross, you ought to take this. This caniveron as a partner,

2180
01:55:53.199 --> 01:55:56.000
you really think so, sir, He will, sir, if you'll

2181
01:55:56.039 --> 01:55:57.159
expand your coverage.

2182
01:55:57.239 --> 01:55:59.039
Oh so it's a plot.

2183
01:55:59.800 --> 01:56:02.880
Well, Ross, it looks like I'm stuck with more advertising

2184
01:56:02.960 --> 01:56:05.800
and you're stuck with a partner. And if I were

2185
01:56:05.840 --> 01:56:08.600
you right, look out, he's likely to take over your

2186
01:56:08.640 --> 01:56:12.159
whole business. In that case, I'm afraid I'd have to

2187
01:56:12.159 --> 01:56:20.279
find a way to dissolve the partnership.

2188
01:56:27.840 --> 01:56:30.279
If a shiny new car doesn't happen to fit within

2189
01:56:30.319 --> 01:56:32.760
your budget, this year. No need to envy the other guy.

2190
01:56:33.479 --> 01:56:35.960
After all, it's easy to enjoy the next best thing.

2191
01:56:36.520 --> 01:56:40.279
And what's that why any car? Your car powered with

2192
01:56:40.399 --> 01:56:45.760
Signal ethel the premium grade of Signal's famous go Farther gasoline. Yes,

2193
01:56:45.840 --> 01:56:50.000
this super powerful super fuel is scientifically engineered to bring

2194
01:56:50.039 --> 01:56:52.920
out the best in cars of any age. And when

2195
01:56:52.960 --> 01:56:55.439
I say best, I mean the kind of performance many

2196
01:56:55.520 --> 01:56:56.840
drivers never thought their.

2197
01:56:56.680 --> 01:56:57.560
Car is capable of.

2198
01:56:58.159 --> 01:57:00.359
I mean pick up, the kind that carry with it

2199
01:57:00.399 --> 01:57:03.479
that satisfying feeling when the back of the seat comes

2200
01:57:03.560 --> 01:57:06.760
up and nudges you gently forward. And I mean power

2201
01:57:07.159 --> 01:57:10.520
the kind of rockets you easily smoothly over hills, steep

2202
01:57:10.600 --> 01:57:14.000
hills that used to call for shifting. Don't get the idea,

2203
01:57:14.079 --> 01:57:16.760
of course, that Signal ethyl's going to let you step away.

2204
01:57:16.520 --> 01:57:17.880
From all new cars.

2205
01:57:18.479 --> 01:57:21.560
After all, smart new car drivers use Signal Ethyl two

2206
01:57:21.800 --> 01:57:24.720
to bring out all the exciting performance that's built into

2207
01:57:24.720 --> 01:57:28.840
today's power packed, high compression motors. But of this, you

2208
01:57:29.000 --> 01:57:32.039
can be sure the next best thing to a new

2209
01:57:32.119 --> 01:57:44.079
car is your car powered with Signal Ethyl gasoline.

2210
01:57:54.159 --> 01:57:56.880
Well, RUSS, A lot of things have changed since Bob

2211
01:57:56.960 --> 01:57:59.720
Turner came into your life. Six months ago in that

2212
01:58:00.159 --> 01:58:03.079
arm on the Willow Canyon Road. He's become a full

2213
01:58:03.119 --> 01:58:04.079
fledged partner in.

2214
01:58:04.000 --> 01:58:05.279
Your advertising agency.

2215
01:58:05.640 --> 01:58:09.000
After selling Dexter Brand on the idea of a national campaign,

2216
01:58:09.720 --> 01:58:12.560
and other accounts of followed Brand's lead, until your business

2217
01:58:12.640 --> 01:58:15.319
has nearly tripled, Bob sold you too, hasn't he?

2218
01:58:15.439 --> 01:58:16.399
Ross? True?

2219
01:58:16.479 --> 01:58:18.920
You work harder and longer than you ever have, but

2220
01:58:19.000 --> 01:58:21.760
you've acquired a great many things you've wanted. A healthy

2221
01:58:21.800 --> 01:58:25.319
bank account, a big new car with all the extras, yes,

2222
01:58:25.960 --> 01:58:30.079
even including a car telephone. Through it all, you've had

2223
01:58:30.239 --> 01:58:32.760
just one regret, haven't you, Ross? You haven't been able

2224
01:58:32.800 --> 01:58:35.399
to see Kitty Brand nearly as often as you'd wanted to.

2225
01:58:35.880 --> 01:58:37.800
But as you walk up the front steps to her

2226
01:58:37.840 --> 01:58:40.880
home to keep your first date in weeks, you're certain

2227
01:58:40.920 --> 01:58:43.640
that tonight will make up for all the nights you've

2228
01:58:43.640 --> 01:58:49.279
been away from Kitty.

2229
01:58:49.439 --> 01:58:49.560
Hi.

2230
01:58:50.279 --> 01:58:53.239
You the official greeter here now only when it's the

2231
01:58:53.279 --> 01:58:55.039
maid's night out or Dad's packing.

2232
01:58:55.319 --> 01:58:56.039
Come in Ross.

2233
01:58:56.159 --> 01:58:58.279
Your father taking a trip just up to the lake.

2234
01:58:59.159 --> 01:59:01.439
He and Bob I have a theory about some special

2235
01:59:01.520 --> 01:59:04.439
tackle or something. You couldn't prove it by me, but

2236
01:59:04.479 --> 01:59:06.399
anyway they're going to try it out. Come on in

2237
01:59:06.399 --> 01:59:08.439
the library. I'd mixed some cocktails.

2238
01:59:08.720 --> 01:59:11.319
Bob's going too huh, funny you didn't mention it.

2239
01:59:11.600 --> 01:59:14.319
I think he's just driving Dad up tonight. Probably spend

2240
01:59:14.319 --> 01:59:18.319
a morrow fishing. Oh, I see here we are, sit down, Ross.

2241
01:59:19.880 --> 01:59:22.960
Oh, you look wonderful, Kitty. Do you mind if I

2242
01:59:23.039 --> 01:59:23.439
drink to that?

2243
01:59:23.720 --> 01:59:25.680
Well, let's make it that we both look wonderful, so

2244
01:59:25.760 --> 01:59:26.560
we can both drink.

2245
01:59:26.720 --> 01:59:34.880
That's fair enough, yeah to us, because we're beautiful.

2246
01:59:37.880 --> 01:59:39.920
Oh. I missed you, Kitty so much.

2247
01:59:40.279 --> 01:59:42.159
Well that's nice for us.

2248
01:59:42.279 --> 01:59:43.279
No, it isn't nice.

2249
01:59:43.560 --> 01:59:44.439
I don't like missing you.

2250
01:59:45.279 --> 01:59:46.560
I don't ever want to miss you again.

2251
01:59:46.760 --> 01:59:48.760
Oh, my, so serious.

2252
01:59:49.159 --> 01:59:51.640
I am serious, Kitty. I don't think I realized how

2253
01:59:51.680 --> 01:59:53.479
serious I was until I saw you again a few

2254
01:59:53.479 --> 01:59:53.960
minutes ago.

2255
01:59:54.560 --> 01:59:56.199
Chitty Darling, I love you, Rose.

2256
01:59:57.600 --> 01:59:59.960
My goodness, just one swallow from a martine.

2257
02:00:00.159 --> 02:00:01.239
I want you to marry me, Kitty.

2258
02:00:01.800 --> 02:00:04.960
I've wanted you to for a long time, but now

2259
02:00:04.960 --> 02:00:05.600
I'm in a position.

2260
02:00:05.720 --> 02:00:05.920
Ros.

2261
02:00:06.000 --> 02:00:09.159
Please don't don't say these things, not now.

2262
02:00:09.319 --> 02:00:11.239
This is the first time I've been able to say them.

2263
02:00:11.479 --> 02:00:14.039
You've known all along, you must I thought.

2264
02:00:13.840 --> 02:00:14.720
I knew, Ross, But.

2265
02:00:16.359 --> 02:00:17.600
Why did you wait so long?

2266
02:00:17.880 --> 02:00:21.159
I had to, Darling. I wanted money, lots of money.

2267
02:00:21.199 --> 02:00:23.960
It wouldn't have mattered before, Ross, don't you see it

2268
02:00:23.960 --> 02:00:24.840
would have been all right?

2269
02:00:25.760 --> 02:00:26.239
But now.

2270
02:00:27.680 --> 02:00:28.960
Now it's all.

2271
02:00:28.800 --> 02:00:31.239
Different, Kitty.

2272
02:00:31.479 --> 02:00:32.439
What's so different?

2273
02:00:33.239 --> 02:00:35.359
I just got more money now. I haven't changed, but

2274
02:00:35.439 --> 02:00:35.760
I have.

2275
02:00:36.880 --> 02:00:39.359
I didn't want to, Ross, really I didn't, but I

2276
02:00:39.479 --> 02:00:43.159
changed in spite of myself. I guess I'm in love, Ross,

2277
02:00:43.359 --> 02:00:46.760
really in love for the first time, Kitty.

2278
02:00:48.079 --> 02:00:50.479
But who with the man.

2279
02:00:50.399 --> 02:00:53.279
Who doesn't even know it? He's never said anything or

2280
02:00:53.479 --> 02:00:54.079
done anything?

2281
02:00:54.159 --> 02:00:55.960
Or Ross.

2282
02:00:56.000 --> 02:00:59.239
I don't want to hurt you, but it's it's.

2283
02:00:59.079 --> 02:01:04.960
Bob, Bob, Bob Turner, Boilin.

2284
02:01:05.560 --> 02:01:08.880
I've told you he's done absolutely nothing about it. I'm

2285
02:01:08.880 --> 02:01:13.720
sure he hasn't any idea how I feel. But since

2286
02:01:13.760 --> 02:01:18.439
I do feel that way, Ross, I well, there's not

2287
02:01:18.520 --> 02:01:23.000
much I can do about it. Is there no no Kitty?

2288
02:01:24.319 --> 02:01:25.359
I guess there isn't.

2289
02:01:35.920 --> 02:01:38.960
Kitty and Bob. It's quite a shock, isn't it, Ross,

2290
02:01:38.960 --> 02:01:41.720
Not at all the way you plan. You realize you'll

2291
02:01:41.760 --> 02:01:44.600
have to do something about Bob because you're determined that

2292
02:01:44.640 --> 02:01:47.640
no one can have Kitty, but you you're still searching

2293
02:01:47.680 --> 02:01:50.640
for a solution. Shortly before midnight, as you enter your

2294
02:01:50.640 --> 02:01:52.760
apartment to find the phone naming.

2295
02:01:55.760 --> 02:01:56.960
Hello, Ross.

2296
02:01:57.000 --> 02:01:57.560
This is Bob.

2297
02:01:57.720 --> 02:01:58.800
Didn't wake you today.

2298
02:01:59.159 --> 02:02:02.520
O just got in. Where are you calling from?

2299
02:02:02.600 --> 02:02:05.119
I've hoped mister Brand's cabin. Going to spend the night

2300
02:02:05.159 --> 02:02:08.079
here do some fishing tomorrow, but I'm driving back to town

2301
02:02:08.039 --> 02:02:08.640
tomorrow night.

2302
02:02:09.800 --> 02:02:10.760
I see.

2303
02:02:10.399 --> 02:02:13.199
I'd like to see you tomorrow night, if you can

2304
02:02:13.239 --> 02:02:15.560
make it. Ross, I've got some things to talk over

2305
02:02:15.600 --> 02:02:15.840
with you.

2306
02:02:16.840 --> 02:02:20.720
Okay, Bob, but if you're off on a little fishing junket,

2307
02:02:20.800 --> 02:02:21.720
forget about business.

2308
02:02:21.720 --> 02:02:23.600
Oh, I don't want to see you about business.

2309
02:02:23.680 --> 02:02:23.960
Ross.

2310
02:02:23.960 --> 02:02:26.319
It's well, I just want to talk with you a while.

2311
02:02:26.560 --> 02:02:27.880
I'd prefer to do it in person.

2312
02:02:28.159 --> 02:02:32.760
Uh fine, fine, suppose we meet at your apartment whenever

2313
02:02:32.760 --> 02:02:33.359
you say.

2314
02:02:33.359 --> 02:02:35.760
Oh good, I'll leave here at seven point thirty. That

2315
02:02:35.760 --> 02:02:38.239
should get me back to town about nine. How does

2316
02:02:38.279 --> 02:02:38.680
that sound?

2317
02:02:38.880 --> 02:02:39.079
Nine?

2318
02:02:39.079 --> 02:02:40.319
It is tomorrow night.

2319
02:02:40.439 --> 02:02:41.079
I'll see you then.

2320
02:02:41.279 --> 02:02:43.279
Good night, goodbye, Bob.

2321
02:02:44.159 --> 02:02:47.960
Your solution came suddenly, didn't it, Ross, and Bob gave

2322
02:02:48.000 --> 02:02:51.760
it to himself. A little after eight the next evening,

2323
02:02:52.159 --> 02:02:54.239
you park your car in the heavy woods at the

2324
02:02:54.279 --> 02:02:57.199
foot of a well known slide area on Willow canyon road.

2325
02:02:57.760 --> 02:03:00.159
In a matter of minutes, you roll several bowldersn't the

2326
02:03:00.199 --> 02:03:02.319
middle of the road, and then as you hear.

2327
02:03:02.199 --> 02:03:04.880
A car approaching, you rush back to your own car.

2328
02:03:05.079 --> 02:03:08.720
Completely hidden from sight, you peer through the thick trees

2329
02:03:09.000 --> 02:03:12.920
see Bob's car approaching. He suddenly swings to miss the boulders,

2330
02:03:13.319 --> 02:03:16.239
balances precariously on the drop side of the road, and

2331
02:03:16.279 --> 02:03:19.399
then the car miraculously rights itself, hugs the road again,

2332
02:03:19.439 --> 02:03:21.039
and moves past the.

2333
02:03:21.000 --> 02:03:22.640
Boulders to a safe stop.

2334
02:03:31.720 --> 02:03:35.279
You fail, didn't you ross You watch Bob get out

2335
02:03:35.319 --> 02:03:37.840
of his car, push the boulders to the side of

2336
02:03:37.840 --> 02:03:41.000
the road, return to his car, and start for town.

2337
02:03:42.000 --> 02:03:43.000
As you pull your.

2338
02:03:42.840 --> 02:03:45.279
Car onto the road and drive slowly down the canyon

2339
02:03:45.319 --> 02:03:48.479
toward town, you realize you must get rid of Bob Turner.

2340
02:03:49.039 --> 02:03:51.880
Once he's out of the way, you'll control all the

2341
02:03:51.920 --> 02:03:54.399
new business he's brought in and have a clear field

2342
02:03:54.439 --> 02:03:56.920
with Kitty. Then it hits you an even better plan,

2343
02:03:57.520 --> 02:04:00.399
and you're certain you'll not fail again. There's an automatic

2344
02:04:00.479 --> 02:04:03.600
in your glove compartment and an alibi in your car telephone.

2345
02:04:03.840 --> 02:04:05.720
He will stop the car and place it called the

2346
02:04:05.800 --> 02:04:07.840
Huffman's garage in Laketown.

2347
02:04:09.880 --> 02:04:11.640
Halfman's Garage, Tim speaking.

2348
02:04:12.439 --> 02:04:15.560
This is Ross Warren, Tom afraid I need your toe

2349
02:04:15.600 --> 02:04:16.119
car again.

2350
02:04:16.720 --> 02:04:18.039
Uh oh, don't tell me.

2351
02:04:18.079 --> 02:04:19.479
You're Strandon and Willow.

2352
02:04:19.279 --> 02:04:20.199
Canyon Road again.

2353
02:04:21.079 --> 02:04:25.439
Well not this time, Tom. I'm about twenty miles out

2354
02:04:25.479 --> 02:04:27.840
on the Merylton Road. A car went out of control

2355
02:04:28.319 --> 02:04:30.199
just by those bluffs. You know the spot?

2356
02:04:30.760 --> 02:04:33.640
Sure, hello, mister Warren, who will be there?

2357
02:04:33.720 --> 02:04:35.159
But it may take an hour or so.

2358
02:04:35.560 --> 02:04:38.039
The truck's out now and there's another call ahead of you.

2359
02:04:38.560 --> 02:04:42.079
Well that's okay, Tom, there's no hurry. I'll wait right

2360
02:04:42.079 --> 02:04:43.039
here in the car for you.

2361
02:04:50.279 --> 02:04:51.239
It's a break, isn't it.

2362
02:04:51.319 --> 02:04:51.680
Ross.

2363
02:04:51.960 --> 02:04:54.359
An hour will give you ample time to get to town.

2364
02:04:54.840 --> 02:04:57.520
Take care of Bob Turner and drive out to the

2365
02:04:57.520 --> 02:05:00.800
bluffs on the Merylton Road. You'll wreck your car there.

2366
02:05:01.319 --> 02:05:03.720
Make certain of a perfect alibi in the.

2367
02:05:03.680 --> 02:05:21.119
Bark Well, Ross, you're punk, Joe, you've a little ahead

2368
02:05:21.119 --> 02:05:21.439
of time.

2369
02:05:21.640 --> 02:05:22.399
I just got here.

2370
02:05:24.359 --> 02:05:24.640
I know.

2371
02:05:25.399 --> 02:05:29.600
Sit down, man, I need a drink down near turn

2372
02:05:29.680 --> 02:05:31.880
the car over coming down here boulders in the road

2373
02:05:31.880 --> 02:05:35.159
along that slide area. I know that too, you do,

2374
02:05:35.960 --> 02:05:39.680
But how I just bob this personal matter? You want

2375
02:05:39.680 --> 02:05:43.439
to discuss with me. It's Kitty, isn't it? Well, yes, Ross,

2376
02:05:43.439 --> 02:05:45.439
it is. I thought we could talk it out, you

2377
02:05:45.479 --> 02:05:46.159
and I.

2378
02:05:46.239 --> 02:05:47.880
You're in love with her? Want to marry her?

2379
02:05:48.319 --> 02:05:48.520
Well?

2380
02:05:48.600 --> 02:05:51.159
Yes, let she in love with you. I don't know.

2381
02:05:52.279 --> 02:05:54.199
Look, Ross, this isn't the way i'd planned it.

2382
02:05:54.319 --> 02:05:55.000
Sit down, won't you?

2383
02:05:55.039 --> 02:05:55.239
And we'll?

2384
02:05:55.279 --> 02:05:57.600
But this is the way I planned it. No, I

2385
02:05:57.640 --> 02:05:59.720
won't sit down. I aim straighter if.

2386
02:05:59.680 --> 02:06:02.199
I stay a Ross, you're crazy.

2387
02:06:02.600 --> 02:06:03.520
Put that gun away?

2388
02:06:03.800 --> 02:06:10.800
Don't okay, Bomb, I don't mind putting the gun away.

2389
02:06:11.720 --> 02:06:22.760
Now he's dead, disn'te Ross. As you turn to leave,

2390
02:06:22.840 --> 02:06:25.479
you pull the draps aside slightly to look out, and

2391
02:06:25.560 --> 02:06:28.520
walking toward the apartment just a few houses down, you

2392
02:06:28.640 --> 02:06:32.239
recognize a familiar figure passing under the street light. It's

2393
02:06:32.399 --> 02:06:39.319
Kitty brand. You sigh with relief that you saw her

2394
02:06:39.399 --> 02:06:42.000
before she could see you. Then you turn quickly race

2395
02:06:42.039 --> 02:06:44.199
for the back of the apartment, let yourself out the

2396
02:06:44.239 --> 02:06:46.960
back entrance, and rush out into the night towards your car,

2397
02:06:47.039 --> 02:06:49.560
parked in the side of the street. Once there, you

2398
02:06:49.680 --> 02:06:52.680
check your time. You have half an hour, Ross Ampul

2399
02:06:52.760 --> 02:06:54.880
time to drive for the bluffs on the Marroquon Road

2400
02:06:55.239 --> 02:06:57.840
before the toe car from the Hoffman garage is due

2401
02:06:57.840 --> 02:07:01.720
to arrive, and you make it with five minutes to spain.

2402
02:07:04.920 --> 02:07:14.399
No to make this alibi Hord there don't ought to

2403
02:07:14.439 --> 02:07:14.800
do it.

2404
02:07:38.840 --> 02:07:41.439
Well, Ross. You're pleased with the way things worked out,

2405
02:07:41.479 --> 02:07:43.720
aren't you. You bashed in the front of your car

2406
02:07:43.800 --> 02:07:46.600
right by the bluffs, just as you plan, and before

2407
02:07:46.640 --> 02:07:49.399
the toe car arrived from town, you had time to

2408
02:07:49.439 --> 02:07:53.159
bury the automatic that killed Bob Turner. You're confident, now,

2409
02:07:53.199 --> 02:07:55.640
aren't you, Ross? Certain that it's just a matter of

2410
02:07:55.680 --> 02:07:58.600
time until Kitty Brand gets over the shock of Bob's

2411
02:07:58.600 --> 02:08:01.239
death and agrees to marry you. The next day, you're

2412
02:08:01.279 --> 02:08:04.479
properly shocked and bereaved as Lieutenant Norris calls for you

2413
02:08:04.520 --> 02:08:07.199
in his police car and the two of you discussed

2414
02:08:07.239 --> 02:08:10.680
the crime. As you ride along. You become so engrossed

2415
02:08:10.720 --> 02:08:13.680
in the discussion you're unaware that he's driven you far

2416
02:08:13.760 --> 02:08:16.479
out from town on the Merylton Road.

2417
02:08:16.960 --> 02:08:20.520
Naturally, I'm anxious to help all I can, Lieutenant Bob

2418
02:08:20.560 --> 02:08:23.600
Turner was well like a brother to me.

2419
02:08:23.840 --> 02:08:25.720
I'm going to take you up on that hell bangle,

2420
02:08:25.760 --> 02:08:26.359
mister Warren.

2421
02:08:26.760 --> 02:08:29.600
Tom Hoffman's already pointed out the spot on the Merylton

2422
02:08:29.720 --> 02:08:31.920
Road where he picked up you and your car last night.

2423
02:08:32.640 --> 02:08:34.560
Why did you to verify that if you don't mind.

2424
02:08:34.800 --> 02:08:40.279
By of course, be glad to I didn't even notice.

2425
02:08:40.439 --> 02:08:45.479
We're almost there, aren't we. That's right, you see, mister.

2426
02:08:45.319 --> 02:08:49.720
Warren, the two stories are a little confusing.

2427
02:08:50.279 --> 02:08:51.399
What two stories?

2428
02:08:51.800 --> 02:08:55.359
Yours and Kitty Brands. She was out for a walk

2429
02:08:55.439 --> 02:08:59.760
last night, dropped by Turner's apartment and discovered his body,

2430
02:09:00.800 --> 02:09:03.479
and she saw your car parked on the side street

2431
02:09:03.600 --> 02:09:04.680
next to the apartment.

2432
02:09:05.159 --> 02:09:06.840
But she couldn't have.

2433
02:09:09.560 --> 02:09:12.760
Both you and Tom Hoffman say you were right here

2434
02:09:12.800 --> 02:09:14.720
in a smashed car at the time.

2435
02:09:15.119 --> 02:09:18.239
But that's true. Hey, that's my car there.

2436
02:09:18.399 --> 02:09:18.560
Now.

2437
02:09:18.600 --> 02:09:21.119
We took the liberty of bringing it back out here,

2438
02:09:21.199 --> 02:09:23.960
mister Warren, to prove something to both of us.

2439
02:09:24.279 --> 02:09:25.000
Come on over here.

2440
02:09:25.000 --> 02:09:29.399
From that, I'm afraid I don't understand, Lieutenant.

2441
02:09:30.000 --> 02:09:35.680
Oh well, now, just for the record, will you get

2442
02:09:35.680 --> 02:09:37.840
in your car and show me how you place that

2443
02:09:38.039 --> 02:09:39.760
call to the garage last night?

2444
02:09:40.199 --> 02:09:40.439
Why?

2445
02:09:41.159 --> 02:09:46.039
Of course, I just picked up the receiver, pushed this

2446
02:09:46.159 --> 02:09:56.800
button and the operator answered, that's funny, something's wrong with

2447
02:09:56.840 --> 02:09:57.399
this phone.

2448
02:09:57.680 --> 02:10:02.279
No, and there's something wrong with you story. I'll see here.

2449
02:10:02.479 --> 02:10:04.680
Tom Hoffman picked me up right here at the same

2450
02:10:04.680 --> 02:10:07.840
time Kitty Brand found Turner dead twenty miles away. In

2451
02:10:07.880 --> 02:10:09.520
case you don't know it, Lieutenant, there's a law of

2452
02:10:09.520 --> 02:10:12.039
physics that says nobody you can occupy two places at

2453
02:10:12.079 --> 02:10:13.079
the same time, that's right.

2454
02:10:13.720 --> 02:10:16.079
And there's a law of electronics that says you couldn't

2455
02:10:16.079 --> 02:10:19.800
possibly have made the phone called Huffman's Garage from this spot, Warren.

2456
02:10:19.600 --> 02:10:21.239
What do you mean I couldn't Just.

2457
02:10:21.359 --> 02:10:25.520
That nobody can make or receive calls from here because

2458
02:10:25.600 --> 02:10:28.600
his whole stretch of road is an absolute dead spot

2459
02:10:28.680 --> 02:10:51.039
for radio.

2460
02:10:53.960 --> 02:10:57.720
Featured in tonight's story, We're Bill Foreman, Let's Tremaine, Gene Bates,

2461
02:10:57.760 --> 02:11:01.880
Bob Bruce, Elizabeth root, Her Butterfield, and Charles Seal. The

2462
02:11:01.880 --> 02:11:04.840
Whistler was produced and directed by George W. Wallen, with

2463
02:11:04.920 --> 02:11:08.439
story by George Asnes, music by Wilbur Hatch, and was

2464
02:11:08.479 --> 02:11:11.680
transmitted to our troops overseas by the Armed Forces Radio Service.

2465
02:11:12.239 --> 02:11:15.279
The Whistler is entirely fictional, and all characters portrayed on

2466
02:11:15.319 --> 02:11:18.479
the Whistler are also fictional. Any similarity of names or

2467
02:11:18.520 --> 02:11:22.800
resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental. Remember

2468
02:11:22.800 --> 02:11:25.000
to tune in at the same time next Sunday, when

2469
02:11:25.000 --> 02:11:28.000
the Signal Oil Company will bring you another strange story

2470
02:11:28.159 --> 02:11:31.720
by the Whistler entitled The Man in the trench Coat,

2471
02:11:32.000 --> 02:11:35.000
in which a topcoat belonging to another man leads the

2472
02:11:35.000 --> 02:11:40.079
wearer to the unmasking of a blackmailer and murder. Marvin

2473
02:11:40.079 --> 02:11:43.079
Miller speaking for the Signal Oil Company. Stay tuned now

2474
02:11:43.119 --> 02:11:46.319
for Armist Brooks starring Eve Arden, which follows immediately over

2475
02:11:46.359 --> 02:12:04.520
most of these stations. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.

2476
02:12:06.960 --> 02:12:12.760
My dear, the sun will be up soon. You should

2477
02:12:12.800 --> 02:12:17.079
return home, and I'll go back to well wherever it

2478
02:12:17.239 --> 02:12:23.119
is I come from. But please do come back. You

2479
02:12:23.319 --> 02:12:27.359
know where I'll be. And if I could ask one

2480
02:12:27.520 --> 02:12:32.880
more small request. As you make your way home, as

2481
02:12:32.960 --> 02:12:38.760
you gallop along the frigid road, as you enter the

2482
02:12:38.800 --> 02:12:43.439
warm embrace of your humble abode, and as you lay

2483
02:12:43.479 --> 02:12:49.319
your head on that soft, cool pillow and prepare to

2484
02:12:49.439 --> 02:12:54.159
head off to the land of gnawd, take one moment

2485
02:12:55.239 --> 02:13:00.359
and be thankful for what you have. I'll be three.

2486
02:13:00.239 --> 02:13:07.399
Years musical body. Emily, Come along with me in my memily, like.

2487
02:13:07.560 --> 02:13:11.159
Your favors when them like you him to follow, all

2488
02:13:11.279 --> 02:13:13.479
the calling him all.

2489
02:13:14.840 --> 02:13:16.319
I'm king.

2490
02:13:17.720 --> 02:13:18.359
That's the wrong.

2491
02:13:18.439 --> 02:13:26.439
Bringing mumbling I think of break
