Unknown Broadcast slips once more into the Weekly Spooky feed with old-time radio horror stories, classic OTR suspense, vintage radio mystery, ghostly encounters, occult dread, and fatal justice. This week’s transmission moves from a war-haunted tavern to strange magic, from death-shadowed streets to a whispered tale of punishment waiting in the dark.

🔫 The Bullet — A weary veteran tries to leave the war behind, only to find that memory, guilt, and death may still be waiting for him at the end of the bar. A grim radio suspense tale of trauma, fate, and the one thing that never truly misses.
🪘 Pollack and the Porroh Man — Skepticism walks into older, darker forces as reason collides with ritual and unseen power. The air turns uncanny, and what begins as doubt drifts toward occult horror and a reckoning with forces that do not care whether you believe in them.
🕯️ A Passage to Benares — Mystery, death, and the afterlife intertwine in a tale that feels dreamlike and fatal all at once. This one carries that rich classic radio horror mood where every revelation only makes the darkness deeper.
⚖️ Justice — The night belongs to The Whistler, and judgment arrives with a smile that sounds almost merciful. Greed, suspicion, and consequence tighten like a noose in a story where justice may come late, but never empty-handed.

If you love Unknown Broadcast, classic OTR horror stories, old-time radio suspense, vintage mystery podcasts, ghost stories, and eerie audio drama from the shadows of broadcasting history, this episode is waiting for you.

00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:14.240
Ah, my dear, it feels like it's been so long.

2
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:21.199
Oh what's that? Well, I suppose time may have a

3
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:27.960
different way about it. Oh, no matter, Please get comfortable.

4
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:33.280
My favorite chair is worn by the fire, and the

5
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:39.399
fire is hot. I'll have the tea steeping. In no time.

6
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:47.439
We'll get nice and warm before we get chilled. Even

7
00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:52.840
as the weather turns warmer and more inviting, the night

8
00:00:53.159 --> 00:01:03.320
always manages to stay just cold enough, just threatening enough, unavoidable,

9
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:06.159
much like the Bullet.

10
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:11.480
The Bullet was written especially for the CBS Radio Mystery

11
00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:16.799
Theater by Sam Dan and stars Larry Haynes. I shall

12
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:29.840
be back shortly with that one. It's a quiet little

13
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:34.480
bar Patty Noonan's, and Jerry Price stops there every.

14
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:35.920
Evening on his way home from work.

15
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:42.359
He's not looking for anything special in the way of atmosphere, adventure, companionship,

16
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:46.439
and he has no intention of getting drunk, just a

17
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.879
couple of beers, perhaps to bridge a busy day, to

18
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:54.959
ease the fatiguel strain on his nerves. In the comfortable

19
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.959
half light of Patty Noonons, the world outside becomes vague distant,

20
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:05.280
especially when old man o' rock is holding forth and

21
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:10.479
he lay there his head against the barricades, and the

22
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:14.960
blood from him falling soft upon the pavements. I looked

23
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.520
in his face and I could see his death was

24
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:18.599
upon him.

25
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:20.879
'tis a bitter thing.

26
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.080
I said to die at seventeen.

27
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:29.199
And for a moment his darkening eyes held mine, and

28
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:33.879
with his last strength he said, chis a sweet thing

29
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:35.080
to die for.

30
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:39.479
Ironmand sweet indeed, mister Rock, And he calls for one

31
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:40.080
of my house.

32
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:44.240
I thank you, Paddy, noonan ah, I see Jerry Price.

33
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:49.080
Excuse me, good evening, Jerry. I didn't notice you come in.

34
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:52.360
Well, when old man o' rock's informed, you don't see anybody. Paddy.

35
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:55.120
The old man there, he carries his I know I

36
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:56.000
carry mine.

37
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.960
Do you ever think of yours? Jerry? No, no, never, never, don't.

38
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.719
But they I came home from Vietnam. I put away

39
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:05.120
the uniform. I also put away everything that went with

40
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.439
at the army the war. Like a snake sheds his skin.

41
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:11.719
All the past has gone, Patty, it's dead, so you

42
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:13.080
forget it. You go onto other things.

43
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:17.479
Hey, what's everybody drinking? This rounds on me? Set him up, Patty.

44
00:03:17.879 --> 00:03:21.280
Mister Edward clock himself and it's the occasion. Yeah, I

45
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.080
got a little announcement. Guess what the old lady tells

46
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:24.759
me this morning?

47
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:27.000
Number ten is on his way.

48
00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:30.280
Ooh, that event around must be on the house, mister clik.

49
00:03:30.599 --> 00:03:33.039
Just a quick one, Patty, and I got the truck outside.

50
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:34.919
What are you hoping for this time? That boy or girl?

51
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.840
I'll see what I got now. And four boys and

52
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:41.680
five no, no, no, I got five boys and four

53
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.599
who can keep them straight? All I know is I'm

54
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:50.039
always tripping over somebody. Hey, ten kids in twelve years.

55
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.319
I can't tell me. It isn't exciting to hear there's

56
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:53.319
gonna be a new baby.

57
00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.960
Oh yeah, yeah, I know it's gonna be a kid

58
00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:58.240
lit wet it pants and keep me up half the night.

59
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:01.479
It's another mileth I got a fee. Yeah, well, guys,

60
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:03.560
I gotta ride. I'll see it Tomar.

61
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:09.080
You know, Patty, it's funny people who don't want kids,

62
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:12.599
can't stand kids, can't afford them, can't raise them. They

63
00:04:12.639 --> 00:04:15.520
can help getting kids, whereas.

64
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:17.079
I don't know.

65
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.240
I guess there's justice and any justice in this world.

66
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:23.439
And there may be no justice, Jerry, but there's always hope.

67
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.439
How long have you been married? Right after I get

68
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.439
out of the army. It'll be nine years. The failures

69
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:29.920
come in here.

70
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.879
And they were married fifteen years before they had their first.

71
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:37.399
Am I really out of the army nine years? Tell me, Patty,

72
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:38.920
you're an old philosopher. Where does it go?

73
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.160
Huh down on the hatch and try another.

74
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:45.600
Yeah, don't mind if I do. Oh, wait on a

75
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:52.800
paying customer first? Where that fellow standing at the end

76
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.879
of the bar. What are you saying, Jerry? There's nobody

77
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.279
standing at the end in the bron hat in a

78
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.920
link cart. Jerry, what are you saying.

79
00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:03.839
That?

80
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:08.959
That's poor? Tell me what's the matter, Jerry? Jerry listened

81
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:14.360
to me this poy. He was just standing here. Where'd

82
00:05:14.360 --> 00:05:18.920
he go? Where is he? Jerry? Where is who? Are

83
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:24.439
you all right? Jerry? Jerry? I'm all right? But I

84
00:05:24.480 --> 00:05:28.879
saw him? Who oh guy? I was in the army

85
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:33.279
with the two of you. Were you close? He was

86
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.360
my buddy? Well when was the last time he saw

87
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:41.959
him in person? And he was killed? Have you have

88
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.160
you ever seen him again? Like you thought you did?

89
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.000
Just no, no, no, this is the first time. Well

90
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:51.240
maybe you need to rest Jerry. How he wind out?

91
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:52.439
Why tonight after all.

92
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:54.800
These years when you say you saw him last the

93
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:56.079
night he died in battle.

94
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.240
Well, the sight of him dead must have.

95
00:05:59.160 --> 00:05:59.759
Stayed with you.

96
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:02.279
Oh wait, that's not how I just saw him, Patty.

97
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:04.800
He wasn't in uniform. He was in civilian clothes.

98
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:07.360
You might have pictured him as he looked at a

99
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:10.839
happier time. I never saw him in civilian clothes. We

100
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:15.879
met in the army, and Patty, I didn't see him

101
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:18.199
as he was then we were both kids. About twenty,

102
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.759
I saw him the way he'd looked today. About thirty,

103
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:24.199
his face was more mature.

104
00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:28.800
Jerry, are you sure he's dead? He is dead, Paddy,

105
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:31.160
I just saw him.

106
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:45.879
I know I saw him, Jerry, he's after midnight.

107
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:47.879
Oh I'm not finished, Tenny.

108
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:51.839
Have to clean up these reports much, Honey. A new

109
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:55.439
rule has just been passed in this house. All PaperWorks

110
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:57.319
shall be done in the dates March.

111
00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:59.759
I have to call on customers. Be reasonable.

112
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.360
Am I the kind of wife who makes idle criticism? No,

113
00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:08.879
indeed constructive suggestions. That's my motto. Northeast Discributories can solve

114
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:11.439
all your paperwork problems by hiring a girl.

115
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:13.480
Honey, I'm lucky to have the job.

116
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:19.079
No, Jerry, you're not lucky, they're nucky. Everybody knows you're

117
00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:22.879
a terrific salesman. But you can get another job tomorrow,

118
00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:24.600
more money. Let's headed, honey.

119
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:26.600
I couldn't walk out on Joe Keller.

120
00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:27.240
Why not?

121
00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:29.240
Well, I'll never forget what that man did for me.

122
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.519
I came home from the army, a kid with no experience.

123
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:34.319
I needed a job. He took a chance with me.

124
00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:35.399
Now he needs me.

125
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:40.959
Well, I'm just worried about you, Jerry. You look so

126
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:42.040
tired all the time.

127
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:43.480
I'm in great shape.

128
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:45.920
Will you go see Doc Steiner.

129
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:47.560
I did today.

130
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:50.920
Oh, well, it's about time you needed a check up.

131
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:54.120
Well, I I didn't just go for the check up, honey,

132
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:58.879
I hear. I went for the year for the other thing. Yeah,

133
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:05.040
he said. Some people men, well they're okay in every way,

134
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.360
but it just doesn't work out for them.

135
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:09.279
Share it's all right.

136
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:12.000
I don't know, no, honey, it's all my fault. Honey.

137
00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:17.279
It's well, it's just unlikely. There can never be any kids.

138
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:21.759
He said. Unlikely. What he meant was impossible.

139
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:23.160
We've got each other.

140
00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:26.879
Yeah, for me, you didn't want a child so badly.

141
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:34.559
No, we'll definitely think about adopting, Okay, Yeah, Okay, sometimes

142
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:38.960
that works out even better. Come on, honey, let me

143
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:40.159
see you smile.

144
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:44.080
Much much much. I don't know what I'd do without you.

145
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:49.000
Oh that makes us even I don't know what i'd

146
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.080
do without you.

147
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:55.120
Can I get to bed, y'all? Uh? Just have a cigarette?

148
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:55.720
Well?

149
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:57.919
I mean, what's your turn on the moons?

150
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:00.799
To make sure you don't try to sneak get some work?

151
00:09:01.759 --> 00:09:03.320
I know you can't concentrate.

152
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:04.320
You can use you're going.

153
00:09:04.519 --> 00:09:17.799
I'll just be a couple of minutes, Sonny, Paul. Let's

154
00:09:17.840 --> 00:09:20.200
hear that password? Paul? Is that you?

155
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:20.799
Jerry?

156
00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:27.240
Hey, climb down the hole. Make yourself at home. Man,

157
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:29.559
I'm so beat. I can't even remember the password. That's

158
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:32.200
all right, I don't even know what it is. Got

159
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:36.639
a cigarette? What they want back at the CP Jerry patrol?

160
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:38.320
You're going yump?

161
00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:40.919
But you went out yesterday? Well maybe I better write

162
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:41.600
to my congressman.

163
00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:46.879
Huh, I don't have any more cigarettes? Yeah, finish this one. Well,

164
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:48.960
I don't know if I can go out again. We're

165
00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:49.600
being relieved.

166
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:51.399
Tomorrow. We will promise the rest. I just don't know

167
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:52.320
if I can go out again.

168
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.799
But you ain't going out. Jerry didn't you hear I'm gone.

169
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:59.720
Oh no, no, I'll say you and I made a track. Paul.

170
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:01.600
Can't let some other guy do.

171
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:07.519
I'm not some other guy. I'm your buddy. What's the matter, Jerry?

172
00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:20.039
You never did it to me? Can I have a

173
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:20.840
drag on that?

174
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:22.759
But Jerry, call.

175
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.679
Call? You're alive. I'm alive, Jerry. I'm here with you

176
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:32.080
in your living No, you can't be here. I went

177
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:34.200
out afterward. I found your body. I carried it back.

178
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:38.240
Maybe it wasn't you, it was me. But you were dead.

179
00:10:38.279 --> 00:10:42.080
You were killed, Yes, Jerry, I was killed.

180
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:45.879
Jerry, will you turn that radio off and come to bed?

181
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:47.200
George? He's here?

182
00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:48.519
Who's here?

183
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:50.039
Can't you see him?

184
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:53.000
Jerry? I don't see anyone?

185
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:53.679
Poor white.

186
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:54.399
Can't she see you?

187
00:10:54.679 --> 00:11:02.440
She will? They all will when later. Have to go now, Jerry, No, no, Paul,

188
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:04.519
Paul Teller, I'm crazy.

189
00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:13.360
Paul, he's gone, Jerry, Honey, what's going on here?

190
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:15.960
He was here, he was here. You got to believe that.

191
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:17.360
I'm not drunk and I'm not grazy.

192
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:21.759
I believe you. I believe you. Jerry. Now just sit down,

193
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.960
don't do anything, don't say anything.

194
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.080
And we know who she's calling.

195
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:43.960
But can a doctor help what ails?

196
00:11:44.039 --> 00:11:47.440
Jerry?

197
00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:54.360
And I'll act too. Of the bullet let, us trace

198
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:57.919
the path of the bullet. We have a worried Marge,

199
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:02.200
a concerned Dr. Steiner, and a distracted Jerry.

200
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:05.559
Tell me about this man Paul you called hi, Jerry,

201
00:12:05.639 --> 00:12:07.639
I said we were buddies. Doctor. That tells it all.

202
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:11.399
Jerry, Please don't be so hostile. Doctor Stander's only trying

203
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:11.879
to help.

204
00:12:12.159 --> 00:12:16.039
You were buddies. You came back alive and he didn't heal.

205
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:20.279
There's an extensive medical literature on the subject. Oh, I'm

206
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:23.559
sure there is. Yeah, I'm not being hostile, marche I

207
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:26.600
know I saw, of course you saw him well finally,

208
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:29.720
but that doesn't mean he was there, is he, Jerry.

209
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:34.039
The death of a wartime comrade remains an eternal reproach.

210
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:37.960
All who survive are sentenced forever to feelings of guilt

211
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:40.120
and on on. Doctor of the wars are fought by

212
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:42.919
kids and Foxhall's the literature is written by doctors and

213
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:45.919
auf that's oddly fair, Jerry. I'm the authority on war, doctor,

214
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:47.879
because I was a kid in a Foxhall and I

215
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:50.879
don't feel guilty about about my buddy. You don't know.

216
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.720
Tell me why, oh, you wouldn't believe it? Try me,

217
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:02.879
all right. You see, it is a bullet, and it's

218
00:13:02.919 --> 00:13:07.159
designed especially for you. And if it's your bullet, it'll

219
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:09.559
find you no matter where you are. You can evade it,

220
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.480
you can't avoid it. It was meant for you. It

221
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:15.480
was meant to be you and a bullet. Both of

222
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.679
you were dust. Originally you were dust, because the Bible

223
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:21.840
says so. And the bullet was also just dust in

224
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:25.360
the ground. Well, that bullet was mined and refined and

225
00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:28.000
cast into metal. It was shaped into a slug and

226
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:30.960
joined with a shell. It was one of billions of bullets,

227
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.879
but it was yours, all yours, and at the right time,

228
00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:37.000
at the right time, there'd be a tremendous explosion of

229
00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:39.320
gases and a narrow chamber, and a bullet would be

230
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:41.480
torn loose from the shell case and spun around the

231
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:44.720
grooves of a gun barrel and hurled through space. This

232
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.840
is the bullet. You don't hear. You don't hear it, doctor,

233
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:50.000
You don't hear it wind past your ear, or ping

234
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:53.159
of a rock or swack against a tree. That's because

235
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:56.039
it's your very own bullet. It's coming to meet you

236
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:59.000
or you're going to need it. It's been arranged. You

237
00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:03.039
see appointment that can never be broken. The dust that

238
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.279
had become the bullet would encounter the dust that had

239
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.000
become you, and after a while, after a while, both

240
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:12.559
of you would become dust once again and return to

241
00:14:12.600 --> 00:14:18.879
the ground, your original home. Jerry, I know you're overworked,

242
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:20.720
You're overwrought, you're overtired.

243
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:22.840
I keep telling him to slow down.

244
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:25.159
Okay, okay, I know I'm under a strain.

245
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:27.000
I know I'm working too hard.

246
00:14:27.039 --> 00:14:31.080
But what can I do? Jerry? Try to understand right now,

247
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:33.759
you're having what is popularly known as a nervous breakdown.

248
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:39.759
This alleged visitor from another world. I say he's an illusion.

249
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:43.759
I say you have subconscious feelings about him which you

250
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.559
are not aware of. And I say they burst through

251
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:49.000
because of heavy pressure on your nervousness. Yeah, I knew

252
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:53.679
you'd say that. Proved me wrong. I'll go away, get

253
00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:56.080
out from under rest a while. Relax.

254
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:10.600
Oh, honey, this looks like a good spot. You want

255
00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:12.000
to stop here and try for some fish?

256
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:13.919
So march uh, I think I'd like to go back

257
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:15.559
and play nine holes this afternoon.

258
00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.519
Great, I need more practice with my irons.

259
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:22.039
Uh, honey, honey, you know, uh, you've been getting a

260
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:23.679
lot of sun. Maybe you better take it easy for

261
00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:24.519
a few hours. Huh.

262
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:28.320
And besides, you have an appointment with oh, what's that name?

263
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:33.480
Biscayne Appliances. See, Jerry, I wasn't sleeping when you call

264
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:34.919
that number this morning, March.

265
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.519
I've been good all month. I was just getting restless,

266
00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:40.559
that's all. But they're a big chain down here.

267
00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:42.679
If I can open them up, I'll justify the drip,

268
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:44.440
justify due.

269
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:49.000
Why do you have to justify anything? Isn't your health

270
00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:49.720
important in that?

271
00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:52.399
Honey? Joe Keller was very nice about it.

272
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.039
Joe Keller had no.

273
00:15:54.159 --> 00:16:01.240
Children, Marge, Honey Steiner was right. I was beat. I

274
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:04.200
don't know how I managed to drag myself along. So

275
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:06.679
I did the right thing. I chucked it all. Now

276
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:09.559
I'm fit. See, I never felt better in my life,

277
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:11.279
and I'm rare in the go great.

278
00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:14.320
In a month or two, we may think about going back.

279
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.039
I'm not used to being idol or either.

280
00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:20.759
Of mine, but I am learning to love it.

281
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:24.799
Oh, why why didn't I meet you when I was young?

282
00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:27.840
Young Jerry? You weren't even twenty one.

283
00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:31.679
I was already made when we met, I had already

284
00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:34.600
become what I was going to be. You know, I've

285
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:36.279
got a certain amount of a billet.

286
00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:38.000
A tremendous amount, Jerry.

287
00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:42.639
But I'm not confident on me. I doubt myself. I

288
00:16:42.639 --> 00:16:44.799
guess I didn't have very much encouragement when I was

289
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:47.399
a kid. You know, my brother was a great athlete,

290
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:50.639
my sister was a great beauty. I was kind of

291
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:55.120
clumsy and funny looking. Anyway, Frank and Alice were sent

292
00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:58.159
to college when my turn came. The money had grown out,

293
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:02.519
or maybe they thought I wasn't worth the effort. That's

294
00:17:02.559 --> 00:17:04.000
why I enlisted.

295
00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:05.680
When I was eighteen. I had to get away from

296
00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:08.920
the house and my father. There was no place else

297
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:09.160
to go.

298
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:12.200
You never told me this, honey.

299
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:17.400
I decided, if I ever had a kid, I'd never

300
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:20.559
make jokes at his expense or tear him down in

301
00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:25.160
any way. I know how these things caught inside where

302
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:28.160
it doesn't show. I would do everything to build him

303
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:34.319
up and give them confidence. I will never never have

304
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:35.599
any real confidence much.

305
00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:36.799
Oh yes you will.

306
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.039
No, no, baby, you won't get it from a tap

307
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:43.880
of talk. I think we can go back home now, much.

308
00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:48.319
M all right? On want condition. You'll just have to

309
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:52.319
slow down. I promise, And Honey, there's only one way

310
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:55.920
you can really slow down, that to get a partnership

311
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:56.319
from Joe.

312
00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:57.000
Count much.

313
00:17:57.279 --> 00:18:00.359
Don't you deserve it worse I do. We're going to

314
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:04.279
adopt a child, which means I'll quit my job and

315
00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:08.880
you're not going to spend time on the road. That

316
00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:10.880
kid'll need both of us, won't.

317
00:18:12.279 --> 00:18:13.279
Yes, Yes, And.

318
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:32.319
We need that partnership, don't we, Jerry, Jerry, Baby, you

319
00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:34.039
look like a million bucks.

320
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:39.400
Le's two percent for cash. Of course, Ramona, no calls.

321
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:40.079
I'm in a meeting.

322
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:45.839
I can't be disturbed. Well anyhow, Joe, Hello, I want

323
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.680
you to take it easy for white here. I'm ready

324
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:49.079
for action.

325
00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:51.480
Ah you think you're ready now listen, I know you

326
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:52.519
had a lot of expenses.

327
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:54.240
I want you to take this little check. It's only

328
00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:54.960
five hundred.

329
00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:57.240
I'm stopped for cashous way, I had a popera whole

330
00:18:57.319 --> 00:19:00.599
new computer center. But anyway, I just saw to increase

331
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:03.559
your bonus to five percent. That'll amount a pretty sweet rays.

332
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:05.319
Now, Joe, dog dog, don't thank me.

333
00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:07.519
Kids, you're insided to it. We got to make sure

334
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:09.519
you don't get sick. A yet, Joe, I have to

335
00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:11.039
talk with you or sure?

336
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:11.359
Kid?

337
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:14.640
What about Well it's uh personal and unfortant.

338
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:24.599
Well, let me buy your lunch. Well, Jerry, what are

339
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:27.319
we gonna talk about? I'm fresh out of polite conversation.

340
00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:31.319
Joe, Joe, I want a partner.

341
00:19:31.039 --> 00:19:35.200
Show No you don't, Jerry, but Joe not not.

342
00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:36.759
Don't interrupt.

343
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:42.000
If you don't want one, you'd like one two different things.

344
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:43.240
I don't knit pick Joe.

345
00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:47.240
You like a partnership, which means it would be swell

346
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:48.640
great if you had it.

347
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:54.240
But what is something else? It means like it means need.

348
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:58.039
I know you'd like to own a business, but you're

349
00:19:58.079 --> 00:20:01.759
not cut out to be an owner. Why because an

350
00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:05.559
owner is an officer and in your heart you'll always

351
00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:06.519
being a mustard man.

352
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:08.480
Tell me, could you ever find a guide?

353
00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:12.599
Because you could get someone else cheaper. If an old customer,

354
00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:14.880
a good friend, was getting slow paying bills, could you

355
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:19.920
cut him off? Thousands of guys like you go bankrupt

356
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:27.319
every year. You're nice, sweet, big hearted, but you don't

357
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:28.640
have the guts business knee.

358
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:31.279
Well, I'd like to remind you of the value myself.

359
00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:32.279
I know it to the penny.

360
00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:34.000
Jerry and you well paid for it. Well, I'm worth

361
00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:34.960
more now you are?

362
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:39.440
You got a sweet raise this morning, Joe, Joe, don't

363
00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:41.400
don't think I'm not grateful.

364
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:43.680
You gave me my first break, but I think I

365
00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:48.319
can do better elsewhere anywhere Consolidated Freeman and sing A.

366
00:20:48.359 --> 00:20:49.279
Should I get down the list?

367
00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:50.640
Oh, they'd love to have you, Jerry?

368
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:52.440
What am I paying?

369
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:55.720
They handle the Nashley advertised brands?

370
00:20:55.799 --> 00:20:57.680
What did you be there? Glorified Auto? Take it.

371
00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:01.400
They don't need your full selling ability, so they don't

372
00:21:01.400 --> 00:21:04.480
have to pay a full price for it. Sure with me,

373
00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:07.960
you push out all the shlock. It's rough, but you

374
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:11.680
get top dollar. There's funny outfits like mine. They grab

375
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:14.960
you tomorrow, but it was improvement. They won't pay you more.

376
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:19.480
At least here you got nine years equitting a pension plan.

377
00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:24.680
You and May are used to each other. It sounds

378
00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:30.200
are really like you. H Sometimes I feel like a

379
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:37.839
father to Jerry.

380
00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:42.000
It was a fiasco, Patty, a fiasco? And how do

381
00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:42.519
I break it?

382
00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:46.000
Tomorre? What's it all about? Jerry? Well, at least I

383
00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:47.839
don't have to put up with that Clark tonight. I

384
00:21:47.839 --> 00:21:49.880
think i'd punch him right in them off will be

385
00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:52.960
the practicest wonderful company. The next two weeks.

386
00:21:52.759 --> 00:22:02.079
He's tool on that trailer into the Southwest. Hello, Jerry, Patty, someone.

387
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:07.599
Standing behind me? No, Jerry, probab, will you tell me why?

388
00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:12.680
I'll tell you everything, Jerry? When so? I think?

389
00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:16.599
Maybe tonight, Paul, Why do you keep hopping him like this?

390
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:25.640
I don't know, buddy, I can't control that poem. How

391
00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:28.480
do you don't you see anyone? Oh, Jerry, you didn't

392
00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:32.200
hear anyone talking to me either? No, howdy do you

393
00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:35.319
think I'm crazy? Maybe you should see you doc? I

394
00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:36.079
saw a doctor.

395
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:39.759
How about one of them psychiatrist Fellows.

396
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:43.599
I never even told my wife I did see a psychiatrist,

397
00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:46.200
But after a while I figured why I pay him

398
00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:47.799
fifty bucks an hour when I can come in here

399
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:50.160
and talk to you for nothing. There must be more

400
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:53.799
to them fellas than now. Sure, he said that the

401
00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:57.759
roots of my problem go back to my unhappy childhood.

402
00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:03.240
But Patty, I have a brother, Frank, who feels terribly insecure.

403
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:05.920
He goes to a psychiatrist too. Why he had a

404
00:23:05.960 --> 00:23:09.359
happy childhood. Put it this way, if you see someone

405
00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:13.359
and I don't, the floor can be in me announcing.

406
00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:19.119
You drink no no, I better go home and face

407
00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:19.720
the music.

408
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:40.519
Jerry, Let's go someplace and talk where. Let's go to

409
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:42.720
the park a lot. Sit in your car.

410
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:47.799
Let's gold. That won't bother you? Will it?

411
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:48.079
Not?

412
00:23:48.240 --> 00:23:51.119
Yet? Turn the heater on for yourself?

413
00:23:51.599 --> 00:23:54.200
When will everyone else be able to see you?

414
00:23:54.319 --> 00:24:01.920
For in two weeks? Right now? It ain't my lost,

415
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:06.240
because you'll be.

416
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:18.799
Dead, Because you'll be dead cold words from a warm friend.

417
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:23.640
That chill inside the car becomes intense, but Sherry knows

418
00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:27.440
there's no point in turning on the heater. We'll rejoin

419
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:37.599
these two friends when I know. And now we return

420
00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:41.599
to the final act of The Bullet and a reunion

421
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:45.119
of two war buddies who haven't seen each other in

422
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:51.079
almost nine years, Jerry Price, who is alive, and poor Gardner,

423
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:53.440
who is dead.

424
00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:57.839
The heater in this car doesn't do much good. You're shivering.

425
00:24:58.039 --> 00:25:00.880
Why am I going to be dead? Pool? Remember the

426
00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:03.519
night I went out on the patrol. I remember that

427
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:04.640
night as long as I lived.

428
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:05.920
I completed my job.

429
00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:10.319
I was headed back and then I felt something smash

430
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:15.279
against my head and I knew, I knew. I just

431
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:19.119
met the bullet. You know the bullet we used to

432
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:20.759
talk about. I bet you don't remember.

433
00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:21.920
I remember. I remember.

434
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:27.400
I felt it slam into me, and then I didn't

435
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:28.240
know anything anymore.

436
00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:30.000
So when the guys told me I went out to

437
00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:30.720
get you, Paul.

438
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:31.640
Yeah, I might have known you would.

439
00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:35.400
One minute I was moving.

440
00:25:35.160 --> 00:25:39.200
Through a rice patty, and the next minute I'm sitting

441
00:25:39.359 --> 00:25:42.400
in an office, and I knew a lot of time

442
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:45.119
had gone by. Don't don't ask me how I knew.

443
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:47.920
That's all. A man was talking to me.

444
00:25:49.680 --> 00:25:52.279
What kind of man, you know, the type as a

445
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:56.279
clerk in the government or a big corporation, fussy, self important,

446
00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:58.200
everything's got to be in the right place.

447
00:25:58.799 --> 00:25:59.599
He doesn't even look at me.

448
00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:03.680
He's got a piece of paper. He says, Paul Gardner,

449
00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:09.279
you're going back. You should not have died that night.

450
00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:14.799
The computation was for you to survive. The plan was

451
00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:19.279
for you to marry a girl named Marjorie Stone.

452
00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:22.039
I married Marjorie Stone.

453
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:22.839
Yeah.

454
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:24.920
I told the guy I want no part of it.

455
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:28.119
And he gives me a look. This clerk does like

456
00:26:28.200 --> 00:26:31.039
he couldn't care less about me or you or anybody else,

457
00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:33.240
and he says, come with me.

458
00:26:35.079 --> 00:26:36.119
He leads me to a door.

459
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:40.759
It opens, and all I can hear is a hum clicking,

460
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:44.160
and all I can see is a computer. I mean,

461
00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:46.000
there's no end to the thing. That's all you can

462
00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:46.960
see is computer.

463
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:51.599
And he says, there it is, friend, city Hall, go

464
00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:55.640
fight it. By this time, I'm shaken. That machine scared

465
00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:57.680
the pants off me. You couldn't see the top to

466
00:26:57.720 --> 00:27:01.000
the bottom of it. There was no end to it wherever.

467
00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:06.119
The eye could see. Well, and what happened this clerk?

468
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:10.960
He tells me, there's a plan, a capital p plan.

469
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:17.160
It calls for me to come home, not you will.

470
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:20.400
Maybe that's fair, Paul. You were always the better man.

471
00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:23.319
Now you got more on the ball. He never got

472
00:27:23.319 --> 00:27:23.640
a break.

473
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:26.960
That's all. I had a chance to go to school.

474
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:27.519
Become somebody.

475
00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:29.079
I could have gone into the.

476
00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:32.279
Old man's business, become the biggest hardware dealer in Atlanta.

477
00:27:32.920 --> 00:27:35.839
You and me, we both run away to join the army.

478
00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:39.640
You because you had nothing, maybe because I had everything.

479
00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:41.200
But why are you coming back?

480
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:45.279
Because margin and I are supposed to have a boy,

481
00:27:46.039 --> 00:27:50.319
a certain kind of a boy. He'll grow up, I

482
00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:54.119
don't know, discovers something, create something, or be somebody.

483
00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:57.279
The world needs real bad They wouldn't.

484
00:27:56.920 --> 00:28:00.400
Tell me what anyhow, forty fifty years from now, he

485
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:03.599
has to be here, and of all the millions of

486
00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:06.599
men and women, he could only be born to me.

487
00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:14.920
And March, when am I leaving? I told you in

488
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:21.319
two weeks, how nine o'clock at night, a trailer truck

489
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:26.680
will go past Patty Noon in saloon, just as you're

490
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:29.400
crossing the street. And why does it have to be

491
00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:34.599
like that? Because you don't know how careful these things

492
00:28:34.599 --> 00:28:37.839
are figured. You could get killed a million ways. But

493
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:41.160
the plan calls for a truck driven by a guy

494
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:42.240
named Ed Clark.

495
00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:44.039
Oh, yeah, I know Ed Clark.

496
00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:46.119
He doesn't have a good record, so it'll be easy

497
00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:49.039
to prove he's a careless driver. He works for a

498
00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:51.279
big outfit. So March you'll have a good settlement. But

499
00:28:51.400 --> 00:28:54.680
why I still don't you'll need the money, you see.

500
00:28:54.680 --> 00:28:57.480
I won't be a good father, not as good as you,

501
00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:01.000
for sure. So I love the kid, I'll love Marge,

502
00:29:01.039 --> 00:29:03.400
but I won't be there a lot.

503
00:29:04.279 --> 00:29:06.559
You know me. I have to keep moving.

504
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:09.119
But if you know how important it is for the kid.

505
00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:12.960
I won't know. Once I'm alive, I won't remember any

506
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:13.240
of this.

507
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:16.720
And you'll say it's all figured out. Maybe not the

508
00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:19.960
human element. How can the machine predict March would go

509
00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:24.839
for you? With all due respect, Jerry, did I ever

510
00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:25.920
have any trouble.

511
00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:27.519
Landing any dame? I had my sight's on.

512
00:29:27.640 --> 00:29:30.319
But it's all due respect. I can't see March falling

513
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:34.240
for your line of chatter. She will, Jerry, I'll be

514
00:29:34.319 --> 00:29:35.759
there when she's having a bad time.

515
00:29:36.240 --> 00:29:40.200
She'll be all alone, she'll need somebody. Things will take

516
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:44.119
their natural course. Sure she'll see through my line, but

517
00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:48.640
after a while she'll get to like it. I'm different,

518
00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:53.160
You're quiet, I raise hell, you let things eat at

519
00:29:53.240 --> 00:29:53.880
you're inside.

520
00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:54.359
It's not me.

521
00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:55.519
I pop off.

522
00:29:56.279 --> 00:29:58.119
Maybe my way is no better in the long run.

523
00:29:59.160 --> 00:30:02.839
And she's married you and she loves you, but deep

524
00:30:02.880 --> 00:30:06.079
in her heart she loves my way better.

525
00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:10.680
She'll fall in love with Sarah.

526
00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:11.400
You have to believe.

527
00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:17.160
I don't want to do this, but it was your bullets,

528
00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:23.880
not mine.

529
00:30:25.160 --> 00:30:30.480
Uri, Are you thinking about a guy down stables to

530
00:30:30.480 --> 00:30:34.119
cancel a carload of refrigerators? So I'm figuring an approach.

531
00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:37.160
Didn't we agree to work at home?

532
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:37.680
Honey?

533
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:38.799
This is just thinking.

534
00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:42.559
Did you talk to Joe Keller about the partnership and

535
00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:44.920
he said no, did you give him?

536
00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:45.240
Notice?

537
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:46.160
He gave me a raise?

538
00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:51.359
Okay, Marge, why don't you make us a drink?

539
00:30:51.400 --> 00:30:52.880
Honey? Aren't you going to say anything?

540
00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:53.359
Mm hmm.

541
00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:55.039
Don't put in too much ice, Marge.

542
00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:56.279
Please, you don't understand.

543
00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:59.680
I understand I married a certain kind.

544
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:01.160
Of man and you're stuck with him.

545
00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:05.240
No, I'll stick by him because I love him.

546
00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:08.079
Would you have wanted a guy who'd barge into Joe

547
00:31:08.119 --> 00:31:10.359
Keller's office and say, Joe, either give me half a

548
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:12.119
joint or I'll open up across the street and run

549
00:31:12.119 --> 00:31:14.759
you out of business. That's the the marrige I have

550
00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:15.000
to know.

551
00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:17.480
Well, maybe I did.

552
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:21.839
Why didn't you marry him? He never showed up, so

553
00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:22.680
you settled for me.

554
00:31:23.599 --> 00:31:27.279
That's what's known is falling in love. Come on, honey,

555
00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:28.160
take me to the movie.

556
00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:30.519
No, no, I don't want to take you to the movies.

557
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:32.079
Let's go downtown and see your play.

558
00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:33.319
But that's a lot of movie.

559
00:31:33.400 --> 00:31:37.039
Are you gonna worry about money? Look? This weekend, would

560
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:40.599
you like to fly out to say Snow Valley and see? Yeah?

561
00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:44.240
How about Las Vegas? What's gotten into you? I mean

562
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:47.920
we're gonna have two weeks of the most fantastic.

563
00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:49.960
Right what two weeks?

564
00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:49.559
Oh?

565
00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:50.960
What's so special?

566
00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:59.160
You me? I just want to spend the rest of

567
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:11.240
my life having a ball with you. Well, hello, stranger,

568
00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:12.359
I haven't seen you.

569
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:15.480
It must be weeks. Where have you been or getting

570
00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:16.279
march a good time?

571
00:32:17.000 --> 00:32:19.640
Like I say, it's done? Wonders for you? You look

572
00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:20.519
so calm?

573
00:32:20.880 --> 00:32:24.759
Do I? Do you ever see the little guy who

574
00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:26.880
wasn't there? No?

575
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:31.440
Well that's good. Let's string to it, Jerry. If I'm

576
00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:35.599
not being forward, what did he want from you?

577
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:37.319
She wouldn't believe it, Patty?

578
00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:38.519
Do you believe it?

579
00:32:39.440 --> 00:32:41.839
Well? I just dropped in and say hello Patty and

580
00:32:41.920 --> 00:32:46.640
goodbye Jerry. Yep, something's the matter with you? Well? I

581
00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:51.160
understand ed Clark is to back here tonight. I don't

582
00:32:51.160 --> 00:32:53.039
want to run into himuch, I just don't want to

583
00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:53.519
talk to him.

584
00:32:53.559 --> 00:32:55.480
Well, if that's how you feel, I'll buy him from

585
00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:59.359
the joint. Jerry, something's wrong with you?

586
00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:02.160
Oh no, no, nothing, pattered. Look, I'm an old soldier, Jerry.

587
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:05.000
I can tell it's really nothing, really, is it?

588
00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:05.839
No?

589
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:08.920
Jerry, you got a look on your face? What kind

590
00:33:08.960 --> 00:33:10.759
of look? I've seen it before in the war.

591
00:33:11.400 --> 00:33:13.359
I've seen it on men who go out on the

592
00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:16.759
impossible mission. The look of men who know they're not

593
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:22.039
coming back. They're resigned. Look what do you resign to, Jerry?

594
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:25.759
You have a vivid imagination. I have an imagination, Jerry,

595
00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:29.160
whatever it is, don't be resigned. Would fight it. You

596
00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:33.680
can't fight it. You're in augh fight, Cherry. Well, you

597
00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:37.319
can fight anybody. You're an ex combat soldier, and you

598
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:40.119
weren't afraid of it anything. When you were out there,

599
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:42.039
you faced up to death, hunger, despair.

600
00:33:43.000 --> 00:33:46.440
What happened to you, Jerry? Where did you lose it?

601
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:51.599
Face up to it now? Whoever he is in his eye? Laddy,

602
00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:54.839
I can't do anything, Jerry. I'm gonna throw you out

603
00:33:54.880 --> 00:33:55.880
it here for your own good.

604
00:33:56.319 --> 00:33:59.920
Now leave, leave town, go far away for a while, fighting.

605
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:02.039
Jerry, fight Paddy, Patty wherever I go.

606
00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:05.000
Listen, told Patty, just take off. Don't you see there's

607
00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:07.720
a plan. Who cares put up a fight? Why are

608
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:08.559
you so upset?

609
00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:12.880
Patty? Huh? I don't know, but listen to me. Fight now.

610
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:42.760
I'll get out of here, Patty. It's Jerry. I decided

611
00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:46.079
to fight it, you know, Patty. There's something about your place.

612
00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:47.960
I don't know how to say it, but I feel

613
00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:50.320
stronger better away from it.

614
00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:52.760
So I'm gonna fight. What have I got to lose? Huh?

615
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:54.639
Why should I do what he tells me? Why should

616
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:55.840
I believe him?

617
00:34:55.880 --> 00:34:57.159
I don't know what it is.

618
00:34:57.519 --> 00:34:59.480
I'll see you around Patty.

619
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:05.320
Univers number three morning, and.

620
00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:12.519
So you call him Jerry's march. I have to tell him, Jerry,

621
00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:16.599
don't do it this way. There'll be one hundred other

622
00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:19.119
people on that plane. Do it the way it has

623
00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:19.800
to be done.

624
00:35:21.119 --> 00:35:22.599
Why because it isn't fair?

625
00:35:23.039 --> 00:35:26.519
Was it fair for me to stop your bullet? Come on,

626
00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:28.719
Jerry and Clark will be tooling by Patty's in.

627
00:35:28.719 --> 00:35:31.320
Less than an hour. Paul, I don't know if I.

628
00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:35.440
Had been there. I'll help you, buddy, I'll help you.

629
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:35.960
Come on.

630
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:49.159
Hell, hello, I called you, and I hope it wasn't

631
00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:50.440
out of turn, Missus Price.

632
00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:52.239
It's about Jerry.

633
00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:53.519
What about Jerry?

634
00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:56.480
He's sitting back there in the boost now. Wait, don't

635
00:35:56.480 --> 00:35:58.119
go to him yet. He's in trouble.

636
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:02.079
It can't be if it's such a glorious jewek.

637
00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:03.079
He's in trouble.

638
00:36:03.840 --> 00:36:05.039
What kind of trouble?

639
00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:08.039
I don't know. We have to help him somehow.

640
00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:09.559
Is it that, buddy?

641
00:36:09.760 --> 00:36:11.400
I think so well.

642
00:36:12.199 --> 00:36:14.360
The time has come to lay that nonsense to rest

643
00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:15.760
once and for all, and I'm going.

644
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:19.800
To it won't work. Agree with him true? Anything if

645
00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:23.840
he wants is okay with you. Don't fight him. All

646
00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:25.000
we can give him is love.

647
00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:31.239
Hi, honey by a drinking Oh.

648
00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:35.840
No, I never know you had those little gold highlights

649
00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:36.360
in your hair.

650
00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:39.199
Oh I'm using a different bottle this week.

651
00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:39.920
I love you.

652
00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:43.119
I love you too, and I want you to be

653
00:36:43.239 --> 00:36:44.360
with me always.

654
00:36:45.440 --> 00:36:48.840
Come on, Jerry, let's start at it.

655
00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:50.679
Are you talking to me?

656
00:36:51.000 --> 00:36:52.519
A plan calls for it?

657
00:36:52.679 --> 00:36:53.960
How do I know there is a plan?

658
00:36:54.679 --> 00:36:56.880
Ask anybody? Ask more?

659
00:36:57.159 --> 00:36:59.320
Jerry? What are you talking about?

660
00:37:01.320 --> 00:37:03.960
How much do you believe there's a plan that determines

661
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:05.800
the actions of everybody in the whole world?

662
00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:06.480
No?

663
00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:07.280
You sure?

664
00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:12.320
I'm sure? How do you think things were caught every

665
00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:12.920
which way?

666
00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:15.880
Come on, Jerry, it's time.

667
00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:20.199
No, no one will go where won't you go? As

668
00:37:20.199 --> 00:37:23.119
far as you are concerned, there isn't any plan?

669
00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:24.000
Well?

670
00:37:24.679 --> 00:37:26.920
Well, I well, what do you think.

671
00:37:26.800 --> 00:37:28.559
You No, that's not important. What do you think?

672
00:37:28.679 --> 00:37:28.920
Well?

673
00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:34.320
Yes, yes, there is a plan. I can prove it.

674
00:37:34.400 --> 00:37:34.760
You can?

675
00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:37.679
Yes, that you started me thinking there has to be

676
00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:42.239
a plan. Otherwise you and I we just never would

677
00:37:42.280 --> 00:37:42.760
have met.

678
00:37:43.559 --> 00:37:46.280
Remember that day, Yeah, yeah, you were taking cash at

679
00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:48.840
Ryman's drug store. That's the only reason I walked in there.

680
00:37:49.320 --> 00:37:52.679
Well, i'd already given notice I was going to leave,

681
00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:56.039
and then you walked in and asked doc if you

682
00:37:56.079 --> 00:37:59.760
could open a charge. Then and there I decided to stay.

683
00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:04.039
Where Where were you going? Oh?

684
00:38:04.199 --> 00:38:08.760
Boy, pull up stakes? Why well, my folks were gone,

685
00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:12.960
my friends were married, neighborhood had changed. The girl I

686
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:16.840
went to school with had a father, a construction engineer.

687
00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:19.960
He'd been transferred. Well, she took a job in his

688
00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:22.320
new office, and she wrote and said she found a

689
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:25.079
nice crowd. They needed secretaries down there. She could fix

690
00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:29.039
it up. Well, why not. I was set to go,

691
00:38:30.519 --> 00:38:36.400
but it was not to be. You came wandering into Rymund's. Obviously,

692
00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:40.239
there's a master planet rules our lives had been.

693
00:38:40.280 --> 00:38:45.639
Where was this wonderful place? You almost went to Atlanta? Atlanta?

694
00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:48.880
Oh, what's so remarkable about.

695
00:38:48.599 --> 00:38:49.199
That, Jared?

696
00:38:49.280 --> 00:38:52.079
It was definite you were going. Oh sure, and only

697
00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:54.639
because I only because.

698
00:38:55.119 --> 00:39:00.559
You met me, Only because I met you. Otherwise I'd

699
00:39:00.559 --> 00:39:04.199
have gone to Atlanta and married a southern millionaire. But

700
00:39:04.320 --> 00:39:08.000
evidently something had been planned for me? Had you flattered?

701
00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:13.199
I met you and it changed my whole life.

702
00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:16.280
Are you ready to go now, Jerry? Y?

703
00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:18.039
Will you come with me? Yes?

704
00:39:18.199 --> 00:39:19.960
Jerry, where do you want to go?

705
00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:20.239
Why?

706
00:39:20.519 --> 00:39:22.960
I have to do something. I'll come with you.

707
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:26.320
No, don't wait here, please, it's.

708
00:39:26.239 --> 00:39:32.440
Time buddies, just like going out on a patrol.

709
00:39:33.239 --> 00:39:34.239
Jerry, where are you going?

710
00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:35.519
That's all right, Patty, it's all right.

711
00:39:35.599 --> 00:39:36.920
I didn't want this, buddy.

712
00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:37.639
I know.

713
00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:39.840
I don't want you to take my quanity.

714
00:39:41.320 --> 00:39:42.039
Goodbye, Jerry.

715
00:39:42.039 --> 00:39:43.880
Here the buck, take care of.

716
00:39:43.840 --> 00:39:44.239
It for me.

717
00:39:45.079 --> 00:40:05.079
You know, I will.

718
00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:05.000
Here your coat.

719
00:40:05.440 --> 00:40:06.559
Let me throw this coat over?

720
00:40:09.719 --> 00:40:10.000
All right?

721
00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:13.280
I got her a ringer into that bar where it's warm,

722
00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:15.159
a little stimulant.

723
00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:21.800
It's all right. Everything will be all, Everything will be.

724
00:40:22.920 --> 00:40:23.800
It will be all right.

725
00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:33.599
So many people preface what they believe with it is written.

726
00:40:34.559 --> 00:40:37.199
It is written in the stars, it is written on

727
00:40:37.239 --> 00:40:41.480
the wind, and for so many, like Jerry, it is

728
00:40:41.519 --> 00:40:42.519
written on the bullet.

729
00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:44.679
I'll be back shortly.

730
00:40:48.639 --> 00:41:01.320
And I remember an old soldier once told me he

731
00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:04.320
wasn't worried about the bullet that had his name on it.

732
00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:06.679
What really bothered him.

733
00:41:07.079 --> 00:41:12.280
Was the bullet marked to whom it may concern. Our

734
00:41:12.360 --> 00:41:19.639
concern is mystery, excitement, suspense, thrills and chills. Our cast

735
00:41:19.719 --> 00:41:24.960
included Larry Haynes, e V Jester, Martin Newman, Ralph Bell,

736
00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:30.039
Leon Jenny and Danniaco. The entire production was under the

737
00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:31.320
direction of Hyman Brown.

738
00:41:38.719 --> 00:41:45.119
Well, my dear, do you feel in the spirit now?

739
00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:47.159
Well?

740
00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:53.039
If not now, he will soon. I have no doubt

741
00:41:53.079 --> 00:41:53.639
about that.

742
00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:55.159
Now.

743
00:41:55.199 --> 00:42:04.360
Please enjoy your tea, but go easy. It's very, very scolding.

744
00:42:06.639 --> 00:42:13.440
I enjoy my tea blisteringly hot, almost as much as

745
00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:17.119
I enjoy Pollock and the poor.

746
00:42:17.000 --> 00:42:37.039
Roman Worried about the United Nations, anxious about those bills

747
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:40.239
piling up, I want to get away from it all.

748
00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:49.440
CBS offers you Escape.

749
00:42:54.119 --> 00:42:57.599
You are the victim of a native witch doctor, pursued

750
00:42:57.679 --> 00:43:00.639
from the west coast of Africa to the West end

751
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:04.079
of London by the grinning face of a dead man.

752
00:43:05.199 --> 00:43:07.840
You are under the curse of a poorer man.

753
00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:13.320
The Columbia Broadcasting System and its affiliated stations present Escape,

754
00:43:13.519 --> 00:43:17.239
produced and directed by William N. Robeson, and carefully plotted

755
00:43:17.239 --> 00:43:19.719
to free you from the four walls of today. For

756
00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:21.519
a half hour of high adventure.

757
00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:29.159
Tonight we escaped to the dark lowlands of West Africa

758
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:33.239
and the mind of a man who scoffed at native magic.

759
00:43:34.119 --> 00:43:34.719
As H. G.

760
00:43:34.920 --> 00:43:38.639
Wells paints it in his gripping story Pollock and the

761
00:43:38.719 --> 00:43:39.400
Poorer Man.

762
00:43:49.760 --> 00:43:52.360
I had spent considerable time in Africa, but I have

763
00:43:52.639 --> 00:43:55.760
given little credence to the many superstitions of the natives there,

764
00:43:56.360 --> 00:43:59.920
voodoo curses, weird incantations of which doctors and the like

765
00:44:00.559 --> 00:44:03.599
had always seemed a pretty silly business to me. But

766
00:44:03.679 --> 00:44:06.159
that was before the affair of Pollock and the Poorer Man.

767
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:10.199
Even then, while the thing was happening, I took little notice.

768
00:44:10.800 --> 00:44:12.719
Twas only when I got back to England some months

769
00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:15.280
later and went to see Pollock climbing up the three

770
00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:18.079
flights of stairs to his lonely bedroom. But I began

771
00:44:18.159 --> 00:44:21.440
to realize the ghastly truth of it. One look at

772
00:44:21.519 --> 00:44:24.559
him was enough. I had never before seen a man

773
00:44:24.679 --> 00:44:29.960
so unnaturally wasted, so prematurely aged and broken, So eerily

774
00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:33.400
mad was this man lying on the bed, looking up

775
00:44:33.440 --> 00:44:34.519
at me with haggard eyes.

776
00:44:35.679 --> 00:44:39.760
It was it was good of you to come water House, nonsense,

777
00:44:39.800 --> 00:44:41.760
old chap. I just thought i'd look you up and

778
00:44:41.760 --> 00:44:44.719
say hullo. But I had no idea I would find

779
00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:49.800
you will ill? Yes, I I suppose I am ill.

780
00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:53.320
I suppose that's what you'd call it. What in Heaven's

781
00:44:53.400 --> 00:44:54.159
name is the matter?

782
00:44:54.239 --> 00:44:54.599
Pollock?

783
00:44:54.880 --> 00:44:58.360
I er, I say, come closer, will you? I barely

784
00:44:58.400 --> 00:44:58.679
see you?

785
00:44:58.920 --> 00:44:59.519
Why?

786
00:44:59.599 --> 00:45:04.800
Yes, of course, I just drop a chair. No, take

787
00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:07.239
it away, take it away? What are you talking about?

788
00:45:07.559 --> 00:45:09.320
What is it? Thing in your hand?

789
00:45:09.400 --> 00:45:10.159
Take it away? Please?

790
00:45:10.199 --> 00:45:13.199
If I heaven say, take it in my hand, the pollock,

791
00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:14.480
This is only my hat.

792
00:45:17.079 --> 00:45:17.639
Hat? Why?

793
00:45:17.760 --> 00:45:22.199
Yes, of course, just an ordinary black Homburg style is offensive.

794
00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:27.559
I just put it on the table, the floor, somewhere

795
00:45:27.559 --> 00:45:30.599
where I can't see it. Please, of course, old man.

796
00:45:33.360 --> 00:45:36.679
I suppose you think I'm may I don't know you do?

797
00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:42.599
Everybody does, because I'm used to it now, And the

798
00:45:42.639 --> 00:45:47.079
worst of it is perhaps I am, I say pollock,

799
00:45:47.159 --> 00:45:51.119
And I don't think so, because I do see it.

800
00:45:51.320 --> 00:45:53.320
I don't care if no one else does. I can

801
00:45:53.400 --> 00:45:57.840
see it. See what ahead? That hid des face following

802
00:45:57.880 --> 00:46:03.679
me everywhere, grinning at me and always upside down? Poor luck?

803
00:46:03.800 --> 00:46:08.440
What are you talking about? You don't believe me either? Well,

804
00:46:08.519 --> 00:46:10.880
look at my wrist it's broken. The bandage is still

805
00:46:10.880 --> 00:46:14.079
on it. That's real enough, isn't it. Yes, of course broken,

806
00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:19.800
you sir, Yes it did. And my other accident. When

807
00:46:19.800 --> 00:46:22.920
I first got back to England, they said I walked

808
00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:25.920
in front of a bus, but I know better it

809
00:46:26.119 --> 00:46:31.719
did that tool ahead exactly. You wouldn't expect to see

810
00:46:31.760 --> 00:46:34.199
a man's head come rolling down the middle of a

811
00:46:34.280 --> 00:46:37.039
busy street in London, now, would you know? You'd better

812
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:41.000
lie back, rest a bit. I'll call a doctor you too,

813
00:46:43.599 --> 00:46:47.039
And I thought you might understand, after all, you were

814
00:46:47.079 --> 00:46:48.719
with me when it started. It was you who first

815
00:46:48.719 --> 00:46:52.039
warned me, who sent me home. You don't mean that

816
00:46:52.760 --> 00:46:55.800
the business with a parlor mel, Yes, yes, of course

817
00:46:56.920 --> 00:47:01.039
you remember how it started. We were camped at that

818
00:47:01.159 --> 00:47:04.760
little village on the Lagroom behind the turn of Peninsula.

819
00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:07.800
It was swampy and hot and I was bort to tears.

820
00:47:09.400 --> 00:47:12.800
Maybe that's why I did it. But anyway, when and

821
00:47:12.920 --> 00:47:18.599
I got back, you were furious with me. No, no, no,

822
00:47:18.679 --> 00:47:21.559
you're a fool pollock. You've got to take it back immediately,

823
00:47:21.639 --> 00:47:23.480
you hear, Oh what possible difference?

824
00:47:23.519 --> 00:47:23.760
Get it?

825
00:47:23.800 --> 00:47:26.679
Make waterhouse? Why all this fuzzl boy? It's only a

826
00:47:26.679 --> 00:47:29.280
little wooden statue can't be worth anything except for curial.

827
00:47:29.400 --> 00:47:32.000
You're not that stupid Pollock. You know very well this

828
00:47:32.039 --> 00:47:34.679
is a porah Idol must have stolen it from the hut.

829
00:47:34.519 --> 00:47:35.079
Of a witch dog.

830
00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:38.639
And don't you see to them this is sacred, as

831
00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:41.320
sacred as an alto cross to a Christian. You've not

832
00:47:41.320 --> 00:47:43.440
only committed a crime in their eyes, but a terrible

833
00:47:43.480 --> 00:47:44.280
sacrilege as well.

834
00:47:44.400 --> 00:47:47.519
Oh, don't tell me. They're going to sit there painted

835
00:47:47.559 --> 00:47:52.000
gods on me. I should be frightened to death before

836
00:47:52.039 --> 00:47:52.880
they can do anything.

837
00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:54.639
You're going to take this back where you found it

838
00:47:54.679 --> 00:47:57.639
and apologize to the poroma, apologized to an illiterate black

839
00:47:57.679 --> 00:48:00.559
witch manner you create, Pollock. I've had about as much

840
00:48:00.559 --> 00:48:02.639
of you as I can stand. So one of those

841
00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:04.960
infernal fools who think of black man as the human being.

842
00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:07.800
I can't turn my back. Which you're running crossways to them,

843
00:48:07.840 --> 00:48:10.800
getting you some scraper over the third time this month,

844
00:48:10.840 --> 00:48:11.920
and this time it's serious.

845
00:48:12.599 --> 00:48:14.239
Are you telling me you're going to send me home?

846
00:48:14.800 --> 00:48:16.920
I honestly think it would be best. As a matter

847
00:48:16.960 --> 00:48:19.199
of fact, I'm all for it. I'd be very happy

848
00:48:19.239 --> 00:48:22.079
to get out of this sticky, dirty god forsaken place.

849
00:48:22.239 --> 00:48:22.679
Very well.

850
00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:25.360
But before you go, Pollock, for the good of the expedition,

851
00:48:25.440 --> 00:48:27.440
you've got to take a thing back and apologize.

852
00:48:28.039 --> 00:48:33.400
Oh I didn't think i'd better. Why not, Well, tell

853
00:48:33.480 --> 00:48:35.400
the truth. I don't think they'd give me a chance

854
00:48:35.440 --> 00:48:40.199
to apologize. All right, tell me what happened? Oh, nothing,

855
00:48:40.280 --> 00:48:44.079
very much, except well, as I was carrying the thing away,

856
00:48:44.079 --> 00:48:47.480
and when those chaps popped up and saw it, started yelling,

857
00:48:47.800 --> 00:48:51.239
trying to take it from me. Yes, go on, Well

858
00:48:51.320 --> 00:48:53.360
we had a bit of a tussle. I got away.

859
00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:57.800
Go on, Pollock. We were on the bank of the

860
00:48:57.920 --> 00:49:01.239
river and I uh toppled over that song. He fell

861
00:49:01.280 --> 00:49:04.920
into the river. Yes, I think he may have hit

862
00:49:05.039 --> 00:49:09.079
the rocks first. Was he badly hurt? I don't know.

863
00:49:09.199 --> 00:49:11.519
I didn't stop to find out he was dead, wasn't

864
00:49:11.559 --> 00:49:16.519
he I really don't know, you fool. It was an accident,

865
00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:19.159
an accident A lot they care. It is better enough

866
00:49:19.159 --> 00:49:21.320
for the idol. But you've probably killed a man. We're

867
00:49:21.320 --> 00:49:24.800
in for it now. Well, there's nothing to be frightened about. Nothing.

868
00:49:25.480 --> 00:49:27.880
In the first place, I should think even your conscience

869
00:49:27.920 --> 00:49:30.440
would suffer a little. The second. You don't seem to

870
00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:34.440
understand about this porror business. It rules the country. It's

871
00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:38.000
the law, religion, medicine, everything in these porror are the

872
00:49:38.039 --> 00:49:41.119
most vindictive men on earth. The one whose idol you stolen,

873
00:49:41.119 --> 00:49:43.440
whose follower you killed, will be duty bound to do

874
00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:46.880
something about it, and there's no telling what he will

875
00:49:47.000 --> 00:49:49.960
all come. Now, you don't believe in these voodoo curses

876
00:49:49.960 --> 00:49:52.880
and things, of course not. I'm thinking of something much

877
00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:56.119
more real than that. He might try something rough. I

878
00:49:56.159 --> 00:49:58.159
can only advise you to lie low until we can

879
00:49:58.159 --> 00:49:58.800
get you out of here.

880
00:49:58.840 --> 00:49:59.280
In the morning.

881
00:50:00.119 --> 00:50:02.599
I'll take you as forcibly Moancy your safer boarder still

882
00:50:02.719 --> 00:50:06.159
needn't I can go alone from the not far. You

883
00:50:06.360 --> 00:50:10.440
still don't understand this business. You wouldn't get a quarter

884
00:50:10.480 --> 00:50:22.599
of a mile from this camp alone. I still thought

885
00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:25.800
you were making a mountain out of the Mole Hill waterhouse.

886
00:50:27.000 --> 00:50:31.480
But I must admit I didn't sleep much that night.

887
00:50:32.760 --> 00:50:35.880
I lay there on the mat in my hut and

888
00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:41.880
listened to the sounds of the village and then later

889
00:50:42.079 --> 00:50:46.079
to the noises of the of the night wakening jungle.

890
00:50:48.320 --> 00:50:52.000
Some time after midnight, I must have dozed off, because

891
00:50:53.159 --> 00:50:57.920
I awoke with a start for a moment. I was confused,

892
00:50:58.880 --> 00:51:04.880
but I sensed something wrong, and then, framed against the

893
00:51:04.920 --> 00:51:07.519
moonlight square of the door, I saw a hand that praised,

894
00:51:08.079 --> 00:51:13.719
and in it a knife. Stop it, stop, Russet, stop

895
00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:14.599
you you.

896
00:51:16.280 --> 00:51:16.920
Hold what is it?

897
00:51:16.960 --> 00:51:19.320
What happened? I missed the begg of waterhouse. I missed

898
00:51:19.320 --> 00:51:23.000
who missed who? What happened the poorer man waterhouse? He

899
00:51:23.079 --> 00:51:26.079
was in my hut. He had a knife he tried

900
00:51:26.119 --> 00:51:27.800
to kill. Wait a minute, Quit a minute, wait life

901
00:51:27.800 --> 00:51:28.280
by the light.

902
00:51:31.239 --> 00:51:32.599
There you are.

903
00:51:32.639 --> 00:51:36.480
Right, man, I'm all right. I just saw it in time,

904
00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:44.280
rode aside in him. Look eh, in my bed. The

905
00:51:44.360 --> 00:51:50.199
knife that was a narrow one. Well, perhaps now you

906
00:51:50.320 --> 00:51:54.039
understand the seriousness of this waterhouse. I saw his face.

907
00:51:55.119 --> 00:51:58.360
He stopped just at the door for a second. It

908
00:51:58.519 --> 00:52:00.719
was crouched down, and he looked back at me from

909
00:52:00.840 --> 00:52:05.000
under his arm. His face was edged clearly in the moonlight.

910
00:52:06.679 --> 00:52:12.400
It was upside down. I'll never forget it. I'll get

911
00:52:12.400 --> 00:52:16.719
you a drink. Listen, listening. He glared back at me

912
00:52:16.840 --> 00:52:20.679
with his painted face upside down and streaked with those

913
00:52:20.800 --> 00:52:26.280
hideous scars they cut in their cheeks. See that in

914
00:52:26.320 --> 00:52:30.679
my dreams, Steady old man, here you are drink this

915
00:52:31.079 --> 00:52:35.159
all right? What the idol's gone? I've just noticed the

916
00:52:35.199 --> 00:52:35.719
idol's gone.

917
00:52:35.719 --> 00:52:36.079
He took it.

918
00:52:36.079 --> 00:52:40.039
It's gone. Yes, Well, then it's all over. He got

919
00:52:40.079 --> 00:52:44.159
what he wants. He will bother me again, will he?

920
00:52:44.440 --> 00:52:46.400
I am afraid there's more to it than that. But

921
00:52:46.480 --> 00:52:50.800
he's got the blasted idol back, and he won't try

922
00:52:50.840 --> 00:52:52.559
it again, Or will he?

923
00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:56.800
I have just noticed something, too, Pollock, there's something here

924
00:52:56.800 --> 00:52:59.920
on the floor. One of your shots clipped off the

925
00:53:00.039 --> 00:53:03.360
tip of his little finger. It's too bad you aren't

926
00:53:03.360 --> 00:53:07.039
a better shot. Why why'd you say that?

927
00:53:07.519 --> 00:53:09.960
Because I'm afraid we haven't seen the loss of this

928
00:53:10.079 --> 00:53:22.320
business yet. You were more right than your new waterhouse.

929
00:53:23.440 --> 00:53:26.760
The next morning was only the beginning. We were standing

930
00:53:26.840 --> 00:53:32.920
with the river and supervising packing. I'm glad we're getting

931
00:53:32.960 --> 00:53:35.920
out of here. There's something brewing, or things wouldn't be

932
00:53:35.960 --> 00:53:38.599
so quiet. Oh what would be brewing? A stink in

933
00:53:38.639 --> 00:53:42.280
a copper pot, probably dancing in a circle of skulls

934
00:53:42.440 --> 00:53:45.480
putting curses on you. What can he do? How the

935
00:53:45.519 --> 00:53:46.000
devil should?

936
00:53:46.039 --> 00:53:46.280
I know?

937
00:53:47.320 --> 00:53:49.920
There are versative people. We know a lot of rum dodges.

938
00:53:50.719 --> 00:53:52.039
The best thing to look.

939
00:53:51.800 --> 00:53:56.000
Out, man, that's closer. What was one of their beastly

940
00:53:56.039 --> 00:53:59.320
poisoned arrows? And the tree behind you missed your head

941
00:53:59.360 --> 00:54:03.719
by inches. I came from over there in the bush.

942
00:54:03.079 --> 00:54:06.239
Let's do something. Let's chase him something no use now,

943
00:54:06.760 --> 00:54:08.920
never find him in there. The best thing for us

944
00:54:08.920 --> 00:54:17.679
to do is to get out of here quick. Well

945
00:54:17.679 --> 00:54:21.840
we got out, all right. You remember how we went

946
00:54:21.920 --> 00:54:25.679
down the river, keeping as far from the banks as possible.

947
00:54:27.880 --> 00:54:29.960
You thought I was safe when you got me to

948
00:54:30.000 --> 00:54:32.760
Salem and said goodbye, didn't you water?

949
00:54:32.920 --> 00:54:33.119
Use?

950
00:54:34.159 --> 00:54:37.960
So did I. You said goodbye and went back to

951
00:54:38.000 --> 00:54:41.840
the interior. Nothing happened for two days, and I was

952
00:54:41.880 --> 00:54:44.159
beginning to feel that the whole thing was just a

953
00:54:44.280 --> 00:54:48.800
nasty dream. And then then as I was walking in

954
00:54:48.840 --> 00:54:51.840
the compound, I was hitting the arm with a slug.

955
00:54:53.480 --> 00:54:56.480
It was a long shot, the bullet was spent. I

956
00:54:56.519 --> 00:55:01.320
only got a flesh wound. But I knew he was there,

957
00:55:02.639 --> 00:55:06.760
and I decided to confide in berea little Portuguese, what

958
00:55:06.920 --> 00:55:10.880
rinted me a hot in his compound? He took it seriously.

959
00:55:11.480 --> 00:55:13.239
It is a personal question.

960
00:55:13.360 --> 00:55:13.519
You know.

961
00:55:14.519 --> 00:55:18.159
It's revenge, see, and he must hurry because you will

962
00:55:18.239 --> 00:55:18.840
leave the country.

963
00:55:18.840 --> 00:55:20.519
And yes, I'll be on the boat free time in

964
00:55:20.599 --> 00:55:22.760
three more days. Then i'll be rid of him forever.

965
00:55:23.440 --> 00:55:28.000
Perhaps then there's this magic. Of course I don't believe

966
00:55:28.039 --> 00:55:35.280
in it, superstition. But still it's not nice to think

967
00:55:35.320 --> 00:55:38.760
that wherever you are, there's a black man spends a

968
00:55:38.960 --> 00:55:42.719
moonlight night, sometimes dancing around a fire to send you

969
00:55:43.119 --> 00:55:44.880
bad dreams.

970
00:55:46.159 --> 00:55:50.159
You have any bad dreams? Were there? Keep seeing the

971
00:55:50.199 --> 00:55:54.760
beggar's head upside down, grinning at me, showing all his

972
00:55:54.920 --> 00:55:58.360
teeth the way he did not, it's nothing to be

973
00:55:58.360 --> 00:55:59.880
afraid of. It's not pleasant.

974
00:56:00.559 --> 00:56:05.920
Then they say put amans and snakes. You seen any

975
00:56:06.039 --> 00:56:06.719
snakes lately?

976
00:56:08.119 --> 00:56:11.400
Only one? I killed one this morning on the floor

977
00:56:11.440 --> 00:56:14.519
under my hammock. Almost stepped on him when I got up.

978
00:56:15.119 --> 00:56:21.320
Of course it's this coincidence. Still I would keep eyes open.

979
00:56:22.480 --> 00:56:24.920
Then there is the pains and the legs and arms.

980
00:56:25.639 --> 00:56:28.480
I thought they were caused by miasma. Oh, probably they are.

981
00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:34.079
When did they begin three nights ago? The night?

982
00:56:35.119 --> 00:56:35.480
Oh?

983
00:56:35.480 --> 00:56:38.159
Plus it it's nonsense. If I could just meet the

984
00:56:38.199 --> 00:56:40.920
stebber face to face, put the gun in my hand.

985
00:56:41.119 --> 00:56:44.519
You might shoot him, but then he might shoot you.

986
00:56:45.639 --> 00:56:48.440
I think he do not want to kill you anyway,

987
00:56:48.519 --> 00:56:53.159
Not yet their idea is scarce and worry a man

988
00:56:53.239 --> 00:56:56.960
with their spells and narrow misses and pains and bad

989
00:56:57.079 --> 00:57:02.159
dreams and all that until the sick of life.

990
00:57:02.639 --> 00:57:06.199
Of course it's all talk. See, you must not worry

991
00:57:06.199 --> 00:57:08.519
about it. Oh no, no, no, no, of course not. But

992
00:57:10.280 --> 00:57:13.719
I wonder what he'll be up to next. Perhaps it

993
00:57:13.800 --> 00:57:16.320
is I who should be up to something. What you mean,

994
00:57:16.440 --> 00:57:19.000
never mind? But I'm not one to just sit and

995
00:57:19.039 --> 00:57:27.960
take this. That very afternoon I had a conversation with

996
00:57:28.079 --> 00:57:31.480
her rough necked men dye tribesmen I found there in Salima.

997
00:57:32.559 --> 00:57:36.320
He showed me a little iron dagger and demonstrated how

998
00:57:36.360 --> 00:57:40.519
one struck at the back of the neck. He agreed

999
00:57:40.559 --> 00:57:42.800
to do the job for the price of a double

1000
00:57:42.840 --> 00:57:47.119
barrel gun with an ornamental lock. I went back to

1001
00:57:47.159 --> 00:57:51.559
Pereier's feeling better than I had in days. At night,

1002
00:57:51.599 --> 00:57:53.519
the Portuguese and I was sitting in his living room

1003
00:57:53.559 --> 00:57:57.000
playing cards, when suddenly the men die rough strode in

1004
00:57:57.039 --> 00:57:58.239
without so much as know is it?

1005
00:57:59.280 --> 00:57:59.960
What do you want?

1006
00:58:00.280 --> 00:58:04.039
Oh? Aren't you have done what you tell me? Prove?

1007
00:58:04.360 --> 00:58:06.719
What is it you have in the package? Is that

1008
00:58:06.760 --> 00:58:10.079
blood dripping prou Yeah?

1009
00:58:11.719 --> 00:58:18.159
His head. Oh no, no, no this man you want? No,

1010
00:58:18.679 --> 00:58:21.280
I get gone. You didn't have to bring this. I

1011
00:58:21.280 --> 00:58:24.719
didn't ask for such proof. You mean, Senor Pollock. You

1012
00:58:25.000 --> 00:58:27.519
got him killed. You did not kill him yourself. Why

1013
00:58:27.519 --> 00:58:30.079
should I? But he will not be able to take

1014
00:58:30.119 --> 00:58:32.840
it off? Now what do you mean take it off?

1015
00:58:33.119 --> 00:58:36.480
Look at the cards, they are all spoiled with this blood.

1016
00:58:37.039 --> 00:58:39.000
What do you mean take what off?

1017
00:58:39.639 --> 00:58:42.079
You must send me a new pack from Freetown. You

1018
00:58:42.119 --> 00:58:42.960
can't buy them there?

1019
00:58:43.039 --> 00:58:43.800
Take what off?

1020
00:58:44.760 --> 00:58:48.760
It is only a superstition I forgot. The natives say

1021
00:58:48.840 --> 00:58:52.159
if the witch he was a witch? What it is

1022
00:58:52.199 --> 00:58:52.800
all rubbish?

1023
00:58:52.800 --> 00:58:53.960
Sure, don't well?

1024
00:58:54.480 --> 00:58:57.880
They say you must take make the polo man, take

1025
00:58:57.920 --> 00:58:59.480
the curse off, or kill him yourself.

1026
00:58:59.599 --> 00:59:03.360
It is very silly. Run no, I'll make it. Two

1027
00:59:03.360 --> 00:59:08.000
guns if you'll take that beastly thing away. No one gun? No,

1028
00:59:09.079 --> 00:59:12.119
all right, rayah, that gun you have to see. I'll

1029
00:59:12.119 --> 00:59:13.920
give it to him. Have the money right here.

1030
00:59:15.039 --> 00:59:20.559
Over here, now take it and go right.

1031
00:59:24.920 --> 00:59:28.719
It is funny how the head sits upside down, just

1032
00:59:28.880 --> 00:59:31.760
the way I saw him that night, just the way

1033
00:59:31.800 --> 00:59:34.000
I see him in my dream, like it was waited

1034
00:59:34.039 --> 00:59:37.239
that way. You will take him with you when you go,

1035
00:59:37.440 --> 00:59:42.079
maybe take him now. My cards are all spoiled. There

1036
00:59:42.159 --> 00:59:45.760
is a man sells them in free town. You should

1037
00:59:45.800 --> 00:59:48.440
have killed him yourself. It stop it, stop it.

1038
00:59:55.400 --> 00:59:59.320
I took the thing to my hut, and no matter

1039
00:59:59.400 --> 01:00:02.599
what I did, it always came to rest, upside down

1040
01:00:02.679 --> 01:00:06.719
and glaring at me. I got a shovel. I buried

1041
01:00:06.719 --> 01:00:10.360
it in the soft earth behind the hut. But in

1042
01:00:10.440 --> 01:00:12.880
the middle of the night I was awakened by some

1043
01:00:13.320 --> 01:00:15.320
sound in my room.

1044
01:00:15.679 --> 01:00:16.760
Oh what is it?

1045
01:00:17.000 --> 01:00:25.360
Who's there? Speak up for our shute? Oh dog? Only

1046
01:00:25.480 --> 01:00:43.880
a dog, Yes, it is only a doll. But in

1047
01:00:44.000 --> 01:00:47.800
the morning, when I awoke and started to get out

1048
01:00:47.840 --> 01:00:54.880
of bed, there it was in the center of the floor,

1049
01:00:55.000 --> 01:00:59.079
glaring at me, upside down. It was uncanny until I

1050
01:00:59.119 --> 01:01:02.440
remembered the dog. I found his paw prints, and then

1051
01:01:02.480 --> 01:01:05.079
dug up earth outside, and I knew how it got there.

1052
01:01:06.199 --> 01:01:08.159
I took the thing down to the river. I threw

1053
01:01:08.199 --> 01:01:11.159
it as far as I could into the current. At

1054
01:01:11.239 --> 01:01:18.519
last i'd be rid of him. That morning I killed

1055
01:01:19.000 --> 01:01:25.960
two snakes. But late in the afternoon the little steamer

1056
01:01:26.079 --> 01:01:29.000
arrived that would take me away from this insane lamb

1057
01:01:29.119 --> 01:01:36.880
of the burrow and freak down and civilization. It almost

1058
01:01:36.920 --> 01:01:41.559
begun to feel gay as that boat carried me swiftly

1059
01:01:41.639 --> 01:01:45.679
away from the shores of the Bora Lan last I

1060
01:01:45.719 --> 01:01:48.119
would be free, and soon I'd be back where boro

1061
01:01:48.239 --> 01:01:52.440
and curses and nightmares would be forgotten. I was standing

1062
01:01:52.480 --> 01:01:55.719
at the rail, sighing with relief when the captain of

1063
01:01:55.760 --> 01:01:58.079
the steamer, whom i'd met before I, stroll up and

1064
01:01:58.440 --> 01:02:03.800
began to make conversation. After the usual exchange of pleasantries,

1065
01:02:04.559 --> 01:02:05.280
he said.

1066
01:02:05.719 --> 01:02:07.960
I picked up a rum curio on the beach.

1067
01:02:08.039 --> 01:02:08.320
This go.

1068
01:02:08.920 --> 01:02:10.920
It's the thing I never saw down this side of

1069
01:02:10.960 --> 01:02:11.880
injury before.

1070
01:02:13.280 --> 01:02:16.159
The aid of one of these polar chips, all ornamented

1071
01:02:16.199 --> 01:02:20.000
with knife cuts. I see, what's the material, chip green

1072
01:02:20.039 --> 01:02:23.000
in the face. I wouldn't have took you for about sail.

1073
01:02:24.320 --> 01:02:27.840
I'm quite all right this hear I was telling you about.

1074
01:02:27.840 --> 01:02:29.239
It is a bit queer in a way.

1075
01:02:29.840 --> 01:02:32.400
I've got it. Nagor of spirits in mckabbin. You know

1076
01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:36.320
what I mean. If you don't float upside down, you chip.

1077
01:02:36.320 --> 01:02:45.280
What's the matter? That was the last straw? I suppose

1078
01:02:46.480 --> 01:02:51.559
something seemed to snap in my brain, and for the

1079
01:02:51.599 --> 01:02:53.920
rest of the voyage I laid there in the bunk,

1080
01:02:54.599 --> 01:02:59.400
staring at the ceiling, and I had the stream sensation

1081
01:02:59.559 --> 01:03:04.599
that was made of glass transparent. And then I could

1082
01:03:04.599 --> 01:03:09.360
see up through the ceiling into the captain's cabin, see

1083
01:03:09.400 --> 01:03:12.239
the poorer man's face floating in a jar of alcohol,

1084
01:03:12.320 --> 01:03:18.599
upside down, grinning at me. I was the actual head

1085
01:03:18.639 --> 01:03:21.000
is still in the captain's cabin, in free twn. But

1086
01:03:21.119 --> 01:03:23.639
it didn't matter. The poorer man's work had been done

1087
01:03:23.760 --> 01:03:30.119
by then, because now I carried it with me everywhere

1088
01:03:31.000 --> 01:03:38.280
in my brain. I sew it everywhere anywhere. And the

1089
01:03:38.400 --> 01:03:40.800
object that was round like a hat or a pillar

1090
01:03:40.880 --> 01:03:44.199
of oars, suddenly developed features when I looked at it,

1091
01:03:44.480 --> 01:03:49.840
ugly scarred features with a grinning mocking mouth. Features turned

1092
01:03:49.920 --> 01:03:55.480
upside down when I When I docked in London, I

1093
01:03:55.719 --> 01:03:57.960
went straight to my banker's office and Corn.

1094
01:03:57.760 --> 01:04:00.320
Here the security is on an orderist, Pollock.

1095
01:04:00.599 --> 01:04:02.280
You shall have to watch things, of course, but all

1096
01:04:02.280 --> 01:04:04.239
on all you shall have enough to look quite comfortably

1097
01:04:04.480 --> 01:04:08.119
and to enjoy a reasonable amount of freedom. Then too, Mmm,

1098
01:04:08.559 --> 01:04:12.519
I say, Pollock, what are you staring at so fixedly red.

1099
01:04:12.360 --> 01:04:14.920
Thing hanging from your mantelpiece?

1100
01:04:14.960 --> 01:04:15.079
Oh?

1101
01:04:15.159 --> 01:04:17.800
Yes, I see the potted fern. Rather pretty one, isn't it.

1102
01:04:18.239 --> 01:04:18.360
Oh?

1103
01:04:18.440 --> 01:04:20.239
Yes, yes, yes, very pretty.

1104
01:04:20.280 --> 01:04:22.320
I must do something about it. Though it's always dripping

1105
01:04:22.360 --> 01:04:24.719
water down on the fender of the fireplace makes it rusty.

1106
01:04:25.400 --> 01:04:29.400
I was wondering about that. It looks red and almost.

1107
01:04:28.960 --> 01:04:32.039
Like rust You enough, yes.

1108
01:04:32.840 --> 01:04:35.199
By the way, that reminds me, can you recommend the

1109
01:04:35.280 --> 01:04:40.239
physician for mental troubles? I've got a little uh, what

1110
01:04:40.320 --> 01:04:48.840
do you call it? Hallucination? The poor man grinned at

1111
01:04:48.840 --> 01:04:50.760
me fiendously, and I stared back at him. The banker

1112
01:04:50.800 --> 01:04:53.039
watched me very cueously for a moment, and then he

1113
01:04:53.079 --> 01:04:55.320
gave me the dress of a doctor. He left his office.

1114
01:04:56.119 --> 01:04:59.480
That's when my accident happened. To a man who's been

1115
01:04:59.519 --> 01:05:02.320
many months the jungle of busy London streets confusing enough,

1116
01:05:03.159 --> 01:05:05.519
but when a head comes rolling down the middle of

1117
01:05:05.559 --> 01:05:19.079
the street and between your legs. I was in the

1118
01:05:19.159 --> 01:05:24.280
hospital for weeks. The only permanent injury, however, was the

1119
01:05:24.440 --> 01:05:30.119
loss of the tip of my little finger my streams coincidence,

1120
01:05:30.639 --> 01:05:33.400
the same finger tip of the left hand that i'd

1121
01:05:33.440 --> 01:05:38.119
shot off the borer man that first night. With Even

1122
01:05:38.159 --> 01:05:40.679
in the hospital, the poorer man was with me all

1123
01:05:40.960 --> 01:05:44.440
the time, every where the doctors couldn't help me. My

1124
01:05:44.519 --> 01:05:49.440
friends couldn't either, So I I tried cycling in the country,

1125
01:05:50.440 --> 01:05:54.920
but that thing kept rolling along beside me and getting

1126
01:05:54.960 --> 01:05:58.440
tangled up in the wheels and spilling me. That's how

1127
01:05:58.559 --> 01:06:05.000
I've got the broken missed it well. The the worst

1128
01:06:05.079 --> 01:06:09.239
came only last week. I'd just come back from a

1129
01:06:09.239 --> 01:06:11.440
long walk, hoping to be tired enough to go to

1130
01:06:11.440 --> 01:06:16.679
sleep as usual. That bronze vase was over there in

1131
01:06:16.800 --> 01:06:24.159
front of the big French window and did well, perhaps

1132
01:06:24.239 --> 01:06:27.199
the poor man enjoys the view of the street three

1133
01:06:27.280 --> 01:06:32.679
floors below. But anyway, be snide. I felt a little devil.

1134
01:06:32.760 --> 01:06:35.559
Make care. So I turned round towards and I looked

1135
01:06:35.639 --> 01:06:38.760
him in the eye, and I said, so you're still here,

1136
01:06:38.800 --> 01:06:40.280
are you, my ugly shadow?

1137
01:06:41.679 --> 01:06:47.880
Yes, allah, I am still here.

1138
01:06:47.960 --> 01:06:56.760
What what did you say? I said, I am still here?

1139
01:06:58.639 --> 01:07:02.360
And I oh, raise will.

1140
01:07:02.039 --> 01:07:13.119
Be No no, no, not that, not that, no no no.

1141
01:07:16.639 --> 01:07:21.679
So now you understand water. Has I not only see

1142
01:07:21.719 --> 01:07:25.400
the poorer man? I hear him too, polla culture, This

1143
01:07:25.519 --> 01:07:29.000
is frightful. It is rather I mean, you are ill, man,

1144
01:07:29.159 --> 01:07:32.159
very ill. Now, surely there's something someone can do. Some

1145
01:07:32.400 --> 01:07:35.440
doctor can any doctor do Can he take off the

1146
01:07:35.480 --> 01:07:39.239
poorer man's pollack? That's nonsense and you know it? Oh?

1147
01:07:39.360 --> 01:07:39.639
Is it?

1148
01:07:39.760 --> 01:07:40.679
Of course? Man?

1149
01:07:40.920 --> 01:07:44.000
It's all in your mind or what do they call it?

1150
01:07:44.039 --> 01:07:49.280
To suggestion? The power of suggestion is strong. You're impressionable.

1151
01:07:50.119 --> 01:07:52.840
You let these stories prey on your mind, and you've

1152
01:07:52.840 --> 01:07:53.880
got to snap out all.

1153
01:07:53.920 --> 01:07:56.719
I should have killed him myself, hollock. I'd do it too,

1154
01:07:56.840 --> 01:07:58.920
with my bare hands, if only I had the chiman

1155
01:07:59.000 --> 01:08:02.119
you're talking rot. Look at him there, Look at him

1156
01:08:02.239 --> 01:08:06.840
grinning at me, only a bronze vase, always grinning at me,

1157
01:08:07.159 --> 01:08:08.760
more and more famously every day.

1158
01:08:08.800 --> 01:08:10.719
Stop it, stop it. You don't stop it?

1159
01:08:10.840 --> 01:08:12.519
You yourself?

1160
01:08:12.719 --> 01:08:20.520
Lie back, rest rest red. Yes, yes, since.

1161
01:08:20.680 --> 01:08:21.439
That's what I mean.

1162
01:08:21.840 --> 01:08:24.439
If I'd only known, I'd never have left you there

1163
01:08:24.439 --> 01:08:27.680
in sulima load, all this might have been prevented.

1164
01:08:28.600 --> 01:08:33.199
Might listen what I asked when you came in. I

1165
01:08:33.279 --> 01:08:36.760
was just lying here thinking, I see him, I hear him.

1166
01:08:36.840 --> 01:08:40.279
My sense of sight and the hearing is effected, and

1167
01:08:40.600 --> 01:08:46.119
someday my sense of touch will go too. When it does,

1168
01:08:47.039 --> 01:08:51.159
I know that will be the end. I'll be finished,

1169
01:08:52.279 --> 01:08:58.399
and the poorer man will finally have his revenge. Pollochord man.

1170
01:08:58.479 --> 01:09:01.239
When you came in, I was lying, he eh, trying

1171
01:09:01.279 --> 01:09:03.399
to get up the nerve to walk over there and

1172
01:09:03.520 --> 01:09:04.279
make the test.

1173
01:09:06.319 --> 01:09:07.439
And I'm going to do it.

1174
01:09:07.600 --> 01:09:10.239
No, no, I will put you. You can't stop me, Waterhouse.

1175
01:09:10.279 --> 01:09:12.039
Don't you see I've got to I can't go on

1176
01:09:12.159 --> 01:09:14.920
like this. I've got to know. Have it overwhel Pollocks

1177
01:09:14.920 --> 01:09:18.239
beyond anything you can do. Stand aside, But stand aside.

1178
01:09:18.279 --> 01:09:30.520
Please now come back to bed, Pollock. That window is open.

1179
01:09:30.520 --> 01:09:31.680
If you haven't never.

1180
01:09:31.520 --> 01:09:40.279
Mind, this is just an ordinary bronze spase, isn't it,

1181
01:09:40.399 --> 01:09:43.920
Waterhouse a lock? Don't do it. I know it's only

1182
01:09:43.960 --> 01:09:50.119
a bronze spise. I know that when I I will

1183
01:09:50.199 --> 01:09:55.079
feel only cold metal when I reach out and touch it.

1184
01:09:55.920 --> 01:10:06.880
I know, like yes, hang about that window you're backing

1185
01:10:06.880 --> 01:10:09.239
into that window.

1186
01:10:25.000 --> 01:10:28.399
Escape is produced and directed by William N. Robeson and

1187
01:10:28.479 --> 01:10:32.000
Tonight brought you Pollock and the Poorer Man by H. G. Wells,

1188
01:10:32.039 --> 01:10:36.239
adapted for radio by John Duncle, with Barton Yarborough as Pollock,

1189
01:10:36.600 --> 01:10:40.119
Louis van Ruten as Waterhouse, and Bill Conrad as Berea.

1190
01:10:40.760 --> 01:10:49.239
A special musical score was conceived and conducted by Cyfurer.

1191
01:10:49.720 --> 01:11:10.039
There's a CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.

1192
01:11:11.760 --> 01:11:18.159
Well, my dear, I suppose the night is getting deeper now,

1193
01:11:19.079 --> 01:11:24.359
But of course it always does, doesn't it. Well, I

1194
01:11:24.520 --> 01:11:29.680
say we relax, kick back, enjoy another cup of tea

1195
01:11:29.840 --> 01:11:38.239
and a roaring fire. I'll put another log on right now. Perfect.

1196
01:11:39.279 --> 01:11:47.039
I feel like a new person. I feel like I've

1197
01:11:47.079 --> 01:11:55.560
discovered such joy even in such circumstance, almost like a

1198
01:11:55.680 --> 01:11:58.039
passage to Banaras.

1199
01:12:07.039 --> 01:12:09.920

you to the edge of your chair to keep you

1204
01:12:54.319 --> 01:13:12.359
in suspense. Tonight's story, by the noted American author T. S. Stribbling,

1205
01:13:13.000 --> 01:13:15.720
deals with a crime of murder on an exotic and

1206
01:13:15.760 --> 01:13:20.359
atmospheric island, with ragged beggars who slept in a Hindu

1207
01:13:20.479 --> 01:13:24.479
temple and awoke with gold in their pockets and a

1208
01:13:24.600 --> 01:13:28.960
dead girl lying near them, and with a strange and

1209
01:13:29.079 --> 01:13:33.079
mystical entrance into the life of hereafter which was the

1210
01:13:33.119 --> 01:13:39.399
experience of an American psychologist. For your suspenseful listening, we

1211
01:13:39.560 --> 01:13:44.520
invite you to join us or a passage to Bernaries

1212
01:13:54.600 --> 01:13:58.319
in Port of Spain in Trinidad. At half past five

1213
01:13:58.359 --> 01:14:04.439
in the morning, mister Henry Patioli, an American psychologist, stirred uneasily,

1214
01:14:04.920 --> 01:14:09.319
became conscious of a splitting headache, opened his eyes in bewilderment,

1215
01:14:09.960 --> 01:14:14.279
and then with a shock, saw where he was. He

1216
01:14:14.359 --> 01:14:17.720
got up, arranged his clothing. He tried with his neat

1217
01:14:17.800 --> 01:14:21.800
psychological mind to recapture his dream to bottle up again

1218
01:14:22.199 --> 01:14:25.560
the little smoking wisps that still floated about within his

1219
01:14:25.640 --> 01:14:28.680
aching head. By seven o'clock he had found his way

1220
01:14:28.720 --> 01:14:29.920
back to the house of mister.

1221
01:14:29.760 --> 01:14:31.880
Lowe, his host in Port of Spain.

1222
01:14:32.920 --> 01:14:37.359
Lowe was already about his coffee with an interested spoon

1223
01:14:37.960 --> 01:14:39.680
poised above the morning paper.

1224
01:14:41.479 --> 01:14:45.680
Ah there you are, good morning, by Jolie. I say

1225
01:14:45.760 --> 01:14:47.680
you are quiet. Didn't hear you get up at all?

1226
01:14:48.520 --> 01:14:52.520
Have some breakfast? Nice I am, and not for breath

1227
01:14:52.560 --> 01:14:55.399
of ann but for news today.

1228
01:14:56.119 --> 01:14:59.399
Well you Governor will arrive in Trinidad on the twelfth

1229
01:14:59.439 --> 01:15:05.760
and uh, hello, now the natives killed his wives. Tell

1230
01:15:05.800 --> 01:15:09.840
me Pajoli, as a psychologist, why do coolies kill their wives?

1231
01:15:10.199 --> 01:15:14.319
Oh, for various reasons. I imagine there's some of the facts.

1232
01:15:14.640 --> 01:15:18.319
Ah, I say, this is a coincidence, really putting on

1233
01:15:18.359 --> 01:15:20.920
a show for you, Pajoli on your first visit to Trinidad.

1234
01:15:21.199 --> 01:15:25.079
How so well you you remember that wedding procession you

1235
01:15:25.119 --> 01:15:27.920
and I watched last evening down down to the Hindu temple,

1236
01:15:28.680 --> 01:15:32.319
the temple of course, the cream colored little bride with

1237
01:15:32.359 --> 01:15:35.039
the breastplates and the link l coins and the anklets

1238
01:15:35.079 --> 01:15:35.880
and all the finery.

1239
01:15:36.319 --> 01:15:41.720
The bridegroom. What you say his name was Budman Laal. Yes, well,

1240
01:15:41.760 --> 01:15:42.680
do you know what's happened?

1241
01:15:43.439 --> 01:15:46.640
Woodman Lwell is in jail this morning, and his cream

1242
01:15:46.680 --> 01:15:49.479
colored little bride is dead with her throat cut.

1243
01:15:49.680 --> 01:15:53.399
No do they think he did it, No doubt of it.

1244
01:15:53.439 --> 01:15:54.640
That's why he's in jail. Now.

1245
01:15:55.399 --> 01:15:58.039
You always seem like a sensible fellow too, one of

1246
01:15:58.039 --> 01:16:01.399
our best patrons, which only proves my cantens, Pajoli, a

1247
01:16:01.439 --> 01:16:03.800
bridegroom of only six or eight hours killing his wife

1248
01:16:03.800 --> 01:16:04.920
without any reason at all.

1249
01:16:05.399 --> 01:16:07.760
Oh, there's usually some reason for murder.

1250
01:16:07.800 --> 01:16:11.239
Maybe, I say, oh boy, you you're missing the point completely.

1251
01:16:11.760 --> 01:16:15.359
How well I suppose you actually had gone and slept

1252
01:16:15.399 --> 01:16:16.520
in the temple there last night.

1253
01:16:17.159 --> 01:16:20.039
Who wanted to you know? Remember, and I said, no

1254
01:16:20.199 --> 01:16:25.000
white man ever stays all night in a Cooley temple. Remember, yes,

1255
01:16:25.039 --> 01:16:28.960
I remember you said. It simply isn't done well.

1256
01:16:29.000 --> 01:16:33.119
If if you had pajoli, I say, that would have

1257
01:16:33.159 --> 01:16:34.520
been a pretty cattle room.

1258
01:16:34.840 --> 01:16:38.680
Yes, yes, well, I'm afraid I'll be mixed up in this.

1259
01:16:39.359 --> 01:16:42.319
Both mister Lal and his uncle Hira Das are clients

1260
01:16:42.319 --> 01:16:45.279
of mine. Old Hiro Das is upwards of five million

1261
01:16:45.279 --> 01:16:46.079
dollars in my bank.

1262
01:16:46.560 --> 01:16:50.520
Hirodas, didn't you tell me he built that temple where

1263
01:16:50.520 --> 01:16:53.119
the murder took place. Yes, that's what the Hindus call

1264
01:16:53.199 --> 01:16:57.119
a temple and breast house. Hiradas gives rice and tea

1265
01:16:57.199 --> 01:17:00.239
to any traveler who comes in for the night in

1266
01:17:00.279 --> 01:17:03.640
custom to help mendicant pilgrims. A rich Indian will build

1267
01:17:03.640 --> 01:17:06.199
a temple and rest house, just just as you Americans

1268
01:17:06.239 --> 01:17:11.279
erect libraries. Ah, what does it say there about the murder? Though?

1269
01:17:13.159 --> 01:17:17.239
Bodmin Laal, nephew of the famous mister Hirad Das, was

1270
01:17:17.319 --> 01:17:20.479
arrested earlier this morning at his home for the alleged

1271
01:17:20.560 --> 01:17:24.079
murder of his wife, whom he married yesterday. The body

1272
01:17:24.159 --> 01:17:26.399
was found at six o'clock this morning in the temple

1273
01:17:26.439 --> 01:17:30.119
where the wedding ceremony took place. The temple attendants gave

1274
01:17:30.119 --> 01:17:34.520
the alarm. The victim's head was severed completely from her

1275
01:17:34.560 --> 01:17:38.560
body and all her jewelry was gone. Five Cooley beggars,

1276
01:17:38.560 --> 01:17:41.000
who were asleep in the temple when the body was discovered,

1277
01:17:41.039 --> 01:17:45.760
were arrested. They all claimed ignorance of the crime, but

1278
01:17:45.840 --> 01:17:48.279
as search a pair of persons revealed that each beggar

1279
01:17:48.319 --> 01:17:50.199
had a piece of the bride's jewelry.

1280
01:17:49.920 --> 01:17:51.239
And a coin from a necklace.

1281
01:17:51.880 --> 01:17:53.960
Mister Bodman Lal and his wife were seemed to enter

1282
01:17:54.000 --> 01:17:56.760
the temple at about eleven last night for the Hindu

1283
01:17:56.840 --> 01:18:00.840
rite of purification. Mister Lalo, who is a prominent curio dealer,

1284
01:18:00.880 --> 01:18:02.439
declines to say anything further.

1285
01:18:03.720 --> 01:18:06.199
I doesn't tell you very much, does it, Ah, not much?

1286
01:18:07.159 --> 01:18:10.159
When you make those beggars, Oh that's simple enough.

1287
01:18:10.680 --> 01:18:13.840
Those devils laid in wait inside the temple and until

1288
01:18:13.920 --> 01:18:16.119
the husband went out and left his wife. Then they

1289
01:18:16.560 --> 01:18:18.159
murdered her and divided the spoil.

1290
01:18:19.039 --> 01:18:21.279
But she had enough bangles and jijas to give a

1291
01:18:21.319 --> 01:18:24.199
dozen to each man. Yes, yes, you're quite right. For Jolie,

1292
01:18:24.279 --> 01:18:26.720
that's a fact. Why should they continue sleeping in the

1293
01:18:26.720 --> 01:18:29.680
temple after they killed her? If they did murder her, well,

1294
01:18:29.680 --> 01:18:30.560
why shouldn't they.

1295
01:18:30.800 --> 01:18:33.520
They knew they'd be suspected and they couldn't get off

1296
01:18:33.560 --> 01:18:36.319
the island without captures, so they thought might as well

1297
01:18:36.359 --> 01:18:37.720
lie down again and go back to sleep.

1298
01:18:38.399 --> 01:18:42.000
Hmm, maybe right low, But that doesn't look like the

1299
01:18:42.039 --> 01:18:45.079
solution to me. Well, I'm satisfied that's how it occurred.

1300
01:18:45.319 --> 01:18:48.000
You mean that beggars killed her, Well, I don't think so.

1301
01:18:49.159 --> 01:18:51.960
I rather fancy that the actual murderer took the girl's

1302
01:18:52.000 --> 01:18:54.319
jewelry and went about the temple, thrusting a bangle and

1303
01:18:54.359 --> 01:18:56.279
a coin in the pockets of each of the sleeping

1304
01:18:56.319 --> 01:18:59.199
beggars to lay a false cent.

1305
01:18:59.439 --> 01:19:03.079
Oh come, now, that's laying it on a bit too thick.

1306
01:19:03.119 --> 01:19:06.279
Pure, My dear lord, that's the only possible explanation for

1307
01:19:06.319 --> 01:19:10.039
the coins in the beggars pockets. I said, you've had

1308
01:19:10.079 --> 01:19:13.199
lots of experience in these things. Come along with.

1309
01:19:13.119 --> 01:19:15.000
Me and we'll go up and see mister Hirad does

1310
01:19:15.039 --> 01:19:16.800
and see if we can't help his nephew.

1311
01:19:17.000 --> 01:19:20.520
I'll be glad to But we'll go to the temple first,

1312
01:19:21.560 --> 01:19:23.359
then we'll call on mister Hirace.

1313
01:19:40.119 --> 01:19:43.119
Well here we are in spite of the police guard

1314
01:19:43.159 --> 01:19:43.680
at the door.

1315
01:19:43.680 --> 01:19:46.079
The temple doesn't look sinister in the daylight. Yeah, it

1316
01:19:46.159 --> 01:19:51.880
just looks dirty. Let's come in question the beggars.

1317
01:19:53.000 --> 01:19:53.720
Excuse me?

1318
01:19:54.920 --> 01:19:57.520
Did any of you fellows hear noises in this temple

1319
01:19:57.600 --> 01:19:58.680
last night? Oh?

1320
01:19:58.920 --> 01:20:03.359
Match sleeps? No noise? Policeman punch us wake this morning?

1321
01:20:03.680 --> 01:20:04.680
Makes it still here?

1322
01:20:05.239 --> 01:20:05.880
What's your name?

1323
01:20:06.560 --> 01:20:07.239
Shoot a chan?

1324
01:20:07.359 --> 01:20:07.840
Side?

1325
01:20:08.720 --> 01:20:10.199
When did you go to sleep last night?

1326
01:20:10.600 --> 01:20:13.199
When I ate rice sent tea sipe mm hmm.

1327
01:20:14.359 --> 01:20:17.479
You remember seeing bootman Laal and his wife ended this

1328
01:20:17.600 --> 01:20:18.479
building last night?

1329
01:20:18.680 --> 01:20:18.960
Yes?

1330
01:20:19.119 --> 01:20:19.560
Remember?

1331
01:20:19.680 --> 01:20:19.960
Side?

1332
01:20:20.399 --> 01:20:21.479
Did you see them go out?

1333
01:20:22.000 --> 01:20:22.079
No?

1334
01:20:22.239 --> 01:20:24.880
Side, No one remember go out?

1335
01:20:25.199 --> 01:20:29.079
You were all asleep then, all asleep? Side? Do you

1336
01:20:29.119 --> 01:20:32.640
have any dreams during your sleep? Hear any noises?

1337
01:20:33.119 --> 01:20:37.199
I dream bad dream Side? When policeyman punched me awake

1338
01:20:37.279 --> 01:20:39.680
this morning, I think dreams come true?

1339
01:20:39.840 --> 01:20:42.199
And me side to me?

1340
01:20:43.520 --> 01:20:45.760
Did you all have bad dream yes? All have.

1341
01:20:47.560 --> 01:20:50.560
Here pasurely, I don't see where this is getting us.

1342
01:20:50.960 --> 01:20:52.319
I do think we ought to be getting on to

1343
01:20:52.399 --> 01:20:53.520
old Hadad Dazzer's house.

1344
01:20:53.920 --> 01:20:56.439
Oh, I think we can now entirely discard the theory

1345
01:20:56.479 --> 01:20:58.119
that the beggars murdered the girls.

1346
01:20:58.800 --> 01:21:01.600
What quos They told you nothing except that they all

1347
01:21:01.600 --> 01:21:02.560
had bad dreams.

1348
01:21:03.039 --> 01:21:07.279
That's the reason. They all had wild, fantastic dreams. That

1349
01:21:07.439 --> 01:21:09.479
suggests that they were given some sort of opiate in

1350
01:21:09.520 --> 01:21:12.920
their rice or tea last night. It's quite improbable that

1351
01:21:13.000 --> 01:21:15.640
five ignorant coolies would have wit enough to concoct such

1352
01:21:15.640 --> 01:21:18.680
a piece of evidence as that in the bag. But

1353
01:21:19.039 --> 01:21:21.760
I don't believe that Trinidad court would admit such evidence.

1354
01:21:21.840 --> 01:21:25.439
We're not looking for legal evidence. We're after some indication

1355
01:21:25.479 --> 01:21:29.000
of the real criminal. Now, I suggest that we get

1356
01:21:29.000 --> 01:21:47.560
onto the house of Hiradas.

1357
01:21:48.760 --> 01:21:53.720
He's coming, gentlemen, I've been expecting your Please be seated,

1358
01:21:54.119 --> 01:21:59.399
Thank you, Thank you, immerst mysterievous murder in the life

1359
01:21:59.399 --> 01:22:03.039
of my poor, your neighbor. You will depend upon your exertions. Gentlemen,

1360
01:22:03.920 --> 01:22:06.520
tell me what do you think of the beggars that

1361
01:22:06.600 --> 01:22:09.680
were found in the temple with the bangles and coins.

1362
01:22:10.279 --> 01:22:13.239
I'm afraid my judgment of the beggars will disappoint you,

1363
01:22:13.319 --> 01:22:16.920
mister Haradas. My theory is that they are innocent of

1364
01:22:16.960 --> 01:22:20.680
the crime. Really, why do you say that because they

1365
01:22:20.720 --> 01:22:24.359
told me of dreams they had. All their dreams were

1366
01:22:24.479 --> 01:22:25.520
very nearly identical.

1367
01:22:26.119 --> 01:22:30.159
You are not English, sir. No Englishman would have thought

1368
01:22:30.239 --> 01:22:30.439
of that.

1369
01:22:31.159 --> 01:22:34.680
No, I'm American with a backlash sprinkling of our battalion.

1370
01:22:35.680 --> 01:22:37.159
My name's Paggioli.

1371
01:22:37.920 --> 01:22:42.720
What is your profession, mister Pogulie? You are a detective?

1372
01:22:42.880 --> 01:22:45.479
Nor is it I'm a psychologist.

1373
01:22:46.600 --> 01:22:51.119
Your soul is at least grouping after knowledge, however it

1374
01:22:51.279 --> 01:22:54.840
groups is a blind worm, mister Poggorlie. And we must

1375
01:22:54.880 --> 01:22:58.039
find the criminal who committed this crime and thus restore

1376
01:22:58.119 --> 01:23:01.800
my nephew, Bootman Laldo liberty. You can imagine what a

1377
01:23:01.880 --> 01:23:04.960
blow this has been to me after I arranged this

1378
01:23:05.119 --> 01:23:06.319
marriage for my nephew.

1379
01:23:06.560 --> 01:23:10.520
Ju did arranged a marriage for a nephew who is

1380
01:23:10.560 --> 01:23:11.359
in his thirties.

1381
01:23:11.520 --> 01:23:14.840
Yes, mister Podgorlie, I wanted him to avoid the pitfalls

1382
01:23:14.880 --> 01:23:18.279
into which I felt he was unmarried, and he'd already

1383
01:23:18.319 --> 01:23:21.600
begun to add dollars to dollars. I did the same

1384
01:23:21.680 --> 01:23:26.000
thing to Now look at me, an empty old man

1385
01:23:26.119 --> 01:23:29.800
and a foreign land. What good is this house where

1386
01:23:29.840 --> 01:23:32.079
men of my own kind can't come and sit with me?

1387
01:23:32.760 --> 01:23:36.720
When I have no grandchildren to rump and play. No,

1388
01:23:37.800 --> 01:23:42.359
I've piled up dollars and pounds. I've eaten the world

1389
01:23:42.520 --> 01:23:47.319
mister Padgorlie, and found it bitter now here. I am

1390
01:23:47.960 --> 01:23:48.760
an outcast.

1391
01:23:49.920 --> 01:23:53.640
And why don't you go back to India, mister Hyadas.

1392
01:23:54.319 --> 01:23:59.680
Why, mister Padjorli, My mind is half English. If I

1393
01:23:59.680 --> 01:24:04.079
should returned to Banares, I'd walk about thinking what the

1394
01:24:04.119 --> 01:24:07.640
temples cost, how much was the value of the stone

1395
01:24:07.760 --> 01:24:12.479
set in the eye of Christiana's image? If I would

1396
01:24:12.479 --> 01:24:15.560
ever be one with my own people again, mister Pajoli,

1397
01:24:16.680 --> 01:24:22.800
I must leave this Western mind and body here in Trinidad.

1398
01:24:24.079 --> 01:24:29.880
That's very interesting and moving. But we were discussing your nephew,

1399
01:24:29.960 --> 01:24:31.079
Woodman Lulla.

1400
01:24:32.319 --> 01:24:35.960
In searching for the criminal, I would suggest you look

1401
01:24:36.039 --> 01:24:39.079
for a moneyed man. Let me tell you my suspicions

1402
01:24:39.199 --> 01:24:41.239
and you can work out the details.

1403
01:24:41.600 --> 01:24:42.079
What are they?

1404
01:24:42.960 --> 01:24:45.479
I went out of the temple this morning to have

1405
01:24:45.600 --> 01:24:48.279
the body of my poor murdered niece brought here to

1406
01:24:48.319 --> 01:24:52.680
my villa for burial. I talked to the five beggars

1407
01:24:52.720 --> 01:24:58.279
and they told me there was a sixth sleep in

1408
01:24:58.359 --> 01:24:59.479
the temple last night.

1409
01:25:00.279 --> 01:25:00.479
Was there?

1410
01:25:00.520 --> 01:25:06.520
Indeed, yes, mister Lowe, A white man, a white man, yes,

1411
01:25:06.600 --> 01:25:11.000
mister Lowe, all five of the coolest, and my man

1412
01:25:11.119 --> 01:25:13.399
Buka told me it was true.

1413
01:25:13.880 --> 01:25:17.520
What mister Hira does, decapitation is not an American motive.

1414
01:25:17.600 --> 01:25:21.399
Murder American I was speaking generally.

1415
01:25:21.439 --> 01:25:24.640
I mean a white man's method of murder.

1416
01:25:26.039 --> 01:25:28.920
That is indicative in itself. I meant to call your

1417
01:25:28.960 --> 01:25:32.399
attention to that point. It shows the white man was

1418
01:25:32.439 --> 01:25:35.399
a highly educated man who had studied the mental habits

1419
01:25:35.880 --> 01:25:39.039
of other people's than his own, so he was enabled

1420
01:25:39.039 --> 01:25:43.960
to give the crime an extraordinary resemblance to a Hindu crime.

1421
01:25:44.720 --> 01:25:49.479
But what motive could a white man have possibly robbery,

1422
01:25:49.880 --> 01:25:55.119
mister Pujolie, or if he were a very intellectual man,

1423
01:25:55.920 --> 01:25:58.800
he might have murdered the poor.

1424
01:25:58.680 --> 01:26:06.479
Child Mary way of experiment, a murderful experiment. Yes, mister

1425
01:26:06.680 --> 01:26:10.800
lle to record this psychological reaction.

1426
01:26:12.039 --> 01:26:15.680
Why I can't entertain such a theory as that, mister

1427
01:26:15.760 --> 01:26:19.720
Harad Oh, No, it is too far. It however, it

1428
01:26:19.920 --> 01:26:24.520
is worth investigating, is it not? Yes? Yes, But I'll

1429
01:26:25.520 --> 01:26:27.960
begin my investigations with a man Guka.

1430
01:26:27.960 --> 01:26:32.560
By all means, mister Poujurie, And in your investigations, gentlemen,

1431
01:26:33.000 --> 01:26:36.920
hire any assistance you may need draw on me for

1432
01:26:37.039 --> 01:26:42.399
any amount. I want my nephew exonerated, and above all things,

1433
01:26:43.159 --> 01:26:48.840
I want the real criminal apprehended and brought to the gallows.

1434
01:27:06.600 --> 01:27:09.319
Oh what do you think of that bojoly white man

1435
01:27:09.319 --> 01:27:12.199
in that temple? Ah? It sounds like pure fiction to

1436
01:27:12.239 --> 01:27:13.760
me too, to shield bobmin Lau.

1437
01:27:14.479 --> 01:27:17.760
You know these fellows hang together like the thieves say.

1438
01:27:17.760 --> 01:27:18.640
It's a jollyhood thing.

1439
01:27:18.640 --> 01:27:20.560
We didn't decide to sleep in the temple last night,

1440
01:27:20.600 --> 01:27:22.640
isn't it. Do you know? In my opinion, Low, the

1441
01:27:22.640 --> 01:27:25.319
actual criminal was Budman Lawe same here.

1442
01:27:25.760 --> 01:27:27.600
I've thought so ever since I first saw the account

1443
01:27:27.600 --> 01:27:31.159
on the paper. Somehow these fellows will chop their wives

1444
01:27:31.159 --> 01:27:32.399
to pieces for no reason at all.

1445
01:27:33.640 --> 01:27:35.159
Now, what do you know about budmin Laud.

1446
01:27:35.640 --> 01:27:38.720
Well, he was born here and he's always been a

1447
01:27:38.720 --> 01:27:40.000
figure because of his rich uncle.

1448
01:27:41.119 --> 01:27:43.079
Lived here all in his life. Uh huh, except when

1449
01:27:43.079 --> 01:27:45.560
he was in Oxford for six years. Oh he was

1450
01:27:45.600 --> 01:27:49.960
an accid man. Yes, yes, there they are. That's the trouble.

1451
01:27:50.000 --> 01:27:52.600
I don't understand what you mean. Bajoli and known that

1452
01:27:52.720 --> 01:27:54.600
he fell in love with some English girl. But when

1453
01:27:54.640 --> 01:27:57.760
Lord Hira Das chose a Hindu child for his wife.

1454
01:27:57.800 --> 01:28:02.000
Budman couldn't refuse marriage. No, man's going to quarrel with

1455
01:28:02.079 --> 01:28:06.279
a five million dollar legacy. Let me chose this ghastly

1456
01:28:06.319 --> 01:28:07.960
method of getting rid of the child.

1457
01:28:07.960 --> 01:28:11.600
Bride Day say, all right, I feel sure about man

1458
01:28:11.640 --> 01:28:15.079
Lau killed the girl. Joge, I'm getting tired of walking.

1459
01:28:15.399 --> 01:28:17.359
There's a cab. Let's hop it and ride the rest

1460
01:28:17.359 --> 01:28:17.640
of the way.

1461
01:28:17.800 --> 01:28:19.079
Hi, kenby a.

1462
01:28:19.079 --> 01:28:22.800
Cab, I say, oh, I.

1463
01:28:24.479 --> 01:28:28.520
Well, aren't you coming? You know, I don't feel that

1464
01:28:28.560 --> 01:28:32.640
I can conscientiously continue this investigation trying to clear a

1465
01:28:32.680 --> 01:28:36.000
person whom I have every reason to believe guilty. But man,

1466
01:28:36.119 --> 01:28:37.199
don't leave me like this.

1467
01:28:37.640 --> 01:28:39.960
At least come as far as police headquarters with me

1468
01:28:40.000 --> 01:28:42.880
and explain your theory about Google, the temple keeper and

1469
01:28:42.920 --> 01:28:43.279
the right.

1470
01:28:43.520 --> 01:28:46.199
Well, I thought i'd go back to your courage and

1471
01:28:46.199 --> 01:28:50.279
pack my things. Pack your things are your boat doesn't

1472
01:28:50.279 --> 01:28:52.479
sail until Friday. Yes, I know, but there's a daily

1473
01:28:52.560 --> 01:28:54.439
service to cure, so it struck me to go there.

1474
01:28:54.880 --> 01:28:57.319
Now, come, you can't run off like that, just when

1475
01:28:57.359 --> 01:29:00.000
I stirred up an interesting murder mystery for you to unravel,

1476
01:29:00.479 --> 01:29:03.520
Why you ought to appreciate my effort as.

1477
01:29:03.399 --> 01:29:07.840
A host more than that. Hell, all right at the

1478
01:29:07.880 --> 01:29:08.399
police station.

1479
01:29:08.680 --> 01:29:26.399
Yes, Chief Figures, this is my friend. Mister mister Bickers

1480
01:29:26.439 --> 01:29:30.960
is chief of Trinidad's police force. A Chief Vicers, I've

1481
01:29:31.600 --> 01:29:35.039
I've asked mister Pujoli's counsel in the Butudman Lal murder case.

1482
01:29:35.600 --> 01:29:38.359
He's already developed a theory as to who is the

1483
01:29:38.399 --> 01:29:40.159
actual murder of missus Budman Lale.

1484
01:29:40.560 --> 01:29:44.760
So have I now in this matter, Chief Figures. I

1485
01:29:44.800 --> 01:29:47.640
want to be perfectly frank with you. I'll admit we're

1486
01:29:47.640 --> 01:29:49.960
in this case and the employer of mister Haradas, and

1487
01:29:50.239 --> 01:29:52.079
I'm making an effort to clear his nephew.

1488
01:29:52.119 --> 01:29:52.720
But Manlau.

1489
01:29:53.680 --> 01:29:56.039
We felt confident you'd use the skill of the Police

1490
01:29:56.039 --> 01:29:58.800
Department of Port of Spain to work out a theory

1491
01:29:58.880 --> 01:30:01.600
clearing Budman Lal as readily as you would convict him.

1492
01:30:01.720 --> 01:30:04.760
Our apartment usually devotes its time to conviction and not

1493
01:30:04.880 --> 01:30:06.079
to clearing criminals.

1494
01:30:06.239 --> 01:30:09.600
Yes, yes, I know that. But if our theory will

1495
01:30:09.600 --> 01:30:12.039
point out the actual murderer, what is your theory?

1496
01:30:12.840 --> 01:30:16.560
Mister Bozzioli's deduction is based on the dreams of the

1497
01:30:16.600 --> 01:30:17.920
men who were found in the temple.

1498
01:30:18.039 --> 01:30:21.239
So mister Pajola's deduction is based on dream It would

1499
01:30:21.239 --> 01:30:24.039
be a remarkable coincidence, mister Beckers, if five men had

1500
01:30:24.079 --> 01:30:28.880
lurid dreams simultaneously without some physical cause, it suggests strongly

1501
01:30:28.920 --> 01:30:31.720
that their tea or rice was doped. Now, if you

1502
01:30:31.760 --> 01:30:34.000
find out what superific was used, then have your men

1503
01:30:34.079 --> 01:30:35.960
searched the sales record at the drug stores in the

1504
01:30:36.000 --> 01:30:38.079
city the sea. Why has lately bought such a drug?

1505
01:30:38.720 --> 01:30:44.319
You will find the murderer. Ah, how do you like Trinidad,

1506
01:30:44.399 --> 01:30:46.359
mister Pajoli. I'd like it very much.

1507
01:30:46.439 --> 01:30:50.760
Indeed, you've just arrived, haven't you. Yes, in what university

1508
01:30:50.800 --> 01:30:53.720
do you teach? Back in the States? Ohio State? A

1509
01:30:53.920 --> 01:30:57.279
chair criminal psychology and an ordinary state university.

1510
01:30:57.520 --> 01:30:59.640
I'm not a professor. I'm simply a docent, and I

1511
01:30:59.680 --> 01:31:04.880
haven't specialized on criminal psychology. Quit on general psychology. You're

1512
01:31:04.880 --> 01:31:07.920
not teaching now, No, this is my sabbatical year.

1513
01:31:08.479 --> 01:31:10.479
You look young to have taught in the university of

1514
01:31:10.520 --> 01:31:13.600
six years, but then you Americans start young in your

1515
01:31:13.680 --> 01:31:16.720
land of specialists. Now are you, mister pod Jolie. I

1516
01:31:16.800 --> 01:31:19.600
suppose you're wrapped up heart and soul in your psychology.

1517
01:31:19.760 --> 01:31:23.039
I am you'd do anything in the world to advance

1518
01:31:23.119 --> 01:31:25.840
yourself on the side, I rather think so, especially keen

1519
01:31:25.840 --> 01:31:27.239
on original research work.

1520
01:31:27.279 --> 01:31:29.680
Ah, that's what he is, you bigause. Do you know

1521
01:31:29.720 --> 01:31:31.680
what he asked me to do yesterday afternoon?

1522
01:31:31.760 --> 01:31:33.800
No, not, mister Low. Oh, I don't think we are

1523
01:31:33.840 --> 01:31:36.239
a burden, mister Dickers with our household anecdotes.

1524
01:31:36.279 --> 01:31:38.560
Oh, but I'm really curious. Just what did mister pod

1525
01:31:38.600 --> 01:31:40.680
Jolie ask you to do yesterday afternoon, mister.

1526
01:31:40.520 --> 01:31:44.760
Low Oh, well, really nothing, nothing at all. It was

1527
01:31:44.840 --> 01:31:47.319
just a little psychological experiment he wanted to do.

1528
01:31:47.640 --> 01:31:50.199
And did he do it? Oh no, No, I wouldn't

1529
01:31:50.199 --> 01:31:50.680
hear of it.

1530
01:31:50.680 --> 01:31:55.119
Oh as unconventional as that, there's really nothing, nothing at all.

1531
01:31:55.560 --> 01:31:58.239
I think I could guess your anecdote if I tried, gentlemen,

1532
01:31:58.520 --> 01:32:00.600
About a half an hour ago, I received the telephone

1533
01:32:00.600 --> 01:32:03.239
message from my man stationed at the temple to keep

1534
01:32:03.279 --> 01:32:07.760
a lookout for you and mister Podjoli look out for us. Yes,

1535
01:32:08.159 --> 01:32:10.520
because one of the koolies under arrest told him that

1536
01:32:10.560 --> 01:32:13.039
mister Podjoli slept in the temple last night.

1537
01:32:13.359 --> 01:32:16.399
Oh but that's not true. That's exactly what he didn't do.

1538
01:32:16.920 --> 01:32:20.119
He suggested it to me. But I said, no, you remember, Pajolie.

1539
01:32:20.159 --> 01:32:26.880
You you didn't do it, did you, Pajurlie? Did you?

1540
01:32:26.880 --> 01:32:32.800
You see he did. Gentlemen, I had a perfectly valid

1541
01:32:32.800 --> 01:32:34.960
and important reason for sleeping in the temple last night,

1542
01:32:35.000 --> 01:32:37.840
and so I can only ask your sympathetic attention to

1543
01:32:37.840 --> 01:32:40.560
what I'm about to say. Go on, you remember, oh,

1544
01:32:40.600 --> 01:32:43.479
you and I were down there watching a wedding procession. Well,

1545
01:32:43.920 --> 01:32:46.079
just as the music stopped in the procession entered the building,

1546
01:32:46.079 --> 01:32:48.760
Suddenly it seemed to me as if, as it they

1547
01:32:48.880 --> 01:32:51.399
vanished naturally had gone to the building. Oh no, I

1548
01:32:51.399 --> 01:32:54.399
don't mean that. I'm afraid you won't understand what I do.

1549
01:32:54.520 --> 01:32:57.479
Mean that the whole procession, it ceased to exist, melted

1550
01:32:57.520 --> 01:32:58.399
into nothingness.

1551
01:32:58.840 --> 01:32:59.880
You see that.

1552
01:33:00.000 --> 01:33:01.920
It's really the idea in which the Hindus based their

1553
01:33:01.920 --> 01:33:05.680
notion of heaven, oblivion, nothing. Yes, I've heard that before. Well,

1554
01:33:06.199 --> 01:33:09.680
our medieval Gothic architecture was a conception of our western heaven,

1555
01:33:09.680 --> 01:33:12.720
and I thought perhaps the Indian architecture had somehow caught

1556
01:33:12.760 --> 01:33:16.880
the motif of the Indian religion, you know, suggested nirvana.

1557
01:33:17.199 --> 01:33:20.359
That's got amazed and intrigue me. That's why I wanted

1558
01:33:20.359 --> 01:33:22.520
to sleep of the place. I wanted to see if

1559
01:33:22.560 --> 01:33:26.319
I could further away shred of impression. Does that make

1560
01:33:26.359 --> 01:33:28.399
any sense to you, mister Vagas. We are not interested

1561
01:33:28.439 --> 01:33:31.439
why you went, mister Padjole. We know a murder took

1562
01:33:31.479 --> 01:33:37.000
place in the temple, you don't. I can't think that

1563
01:33:37.119 --> 01:33:41.520
I committed a horrible murderer as an experiment.

1564
01:33:41.880 --> 01:33:45.279
You intellectual chaps do some pretty weird things, mister Padjole,

1565
01:33:45.600 --> 01:33:47.760
while only the other day I was reading about too

1566
01:33:47.840 --> 01:33:52.399
young intellect. Yes, these fellows I read about also tried

1567
01:33:52.439 --> 01:33:56.000
to turn an honest penny by their murder. I don't

1568
01:33:56.000 --> 01:33:58.960
suppose you happened to notice yesterday that the little bride

1569
01:33:59.039 --> 01:34:00.079
may La rum.

1570
01:34:00.439 --> 01:34:03.319
Was almost covered with gold bangles and coins. Of course

1571
01:34:03.359 --> 01:34:06.800
I noticed. I had nothing whatever to do with horray.

1572
01:34:06.880 --> 01:34:08.880
I did sleep in the temple, by.

1573
01:34:08.840 --> 01:34:10.800
The way you say, you slept on a rug, just

1574
01:34:10.840 --> 01:34:13.319
as the coolies did. Yes, I did, and you didn't

1575
01:34:13.359 --> 01:34:17.199
wake up either, mister Pajol. Then did the child's murderer

1576
01:34:17.239 --> 01:34:19.039
happen to put a coin in a bangle in your

1577
01:34:19.079 --> 01:34:21.479
pockets just as he did the other sleepers in the temple.

1578
01:34:21.680 --> 01:34:24.560
I don't know. I I haven't looked in my pocket

1579
01:34:24.600 --> 01:34:29.720
since then, and please do so now, mister Pajoli. Yes,

1580
01:34:32.159 --> 01:34:35.079
here they are. Mister. You don't happen to have any more,

1581
01:34:35.279 --> 01:34:39.439
do you? Oh, I've already been throw all my pockets

1582
01:34:39.439 --> 01:34:40.279
at ivan anymore.

1583
01:34:41.039 --> 01:34:44.520
Well that's something, of course, you might have expected just

1584
01:34:44.600 --> 01:34:47.079
such a questioning as this, and provided yourself with these

1585
01:34:47.119 --> 01:34:48.079
two pieces of gold.

1586
01:34:48.199 --> 01:34:49.439
But I doubt it.

1587
01:34:50.039 --> 01:34:52.920
Somehow, I don't believe that you're inexperienced enough man to

1588
01:34:52.960 --> 01:34:56.840
think of such a thing. However, we shall see. I

1589
01:34:56.880 --> 01:34:59.720
suppose you have no objection, mister Pajoli to my accompanying you,

1590
01:34:59.760 --> 01:35:01.720
of I have a little search of your baggage and

1591
01:35:01.840 --> 01:35:18.000
mister Lowe's cottage. Now, then, mister, be so kind as

1592
01:35:18.039 --> 01:35:18.960
to open your trunk.

1593
01:35:25.520 --> 01:35:28.159
Good heavens mm hmmm, just.

1594
01:35:28.159 --> 01:35:31.520
As I thought, a trunk tray full of bangles and coins.

1595
01:35:32.319 --> 01:35:34.840
I'll say one thing for you low mister. Your nerve

1596
01:35:34.960 --> 01:35:35.960
almost got you by.

1597
01:35:36.239 --> 01:35:41.319
But you you can't believe that I did it. Bo

1598
01:35:43.000 --> 01:35:46.960
You don't believe I did this to you. I don't

1599
01:35:47.920 --> 01:35:51.640
in your trunk. If I did it, I was sleepwalking.

1600
01:35:53.199 --> 01:35:55.279
Got to think that it's possible that right here in

1601
01:35:55.279 --> 01:35:57.319
my own Well, we might as well start back I

1602
01:35:57.319 --> 01:36:01.159
suppose this is all. I'll go back with you, Pa Jolie.

1603
01:36:01.520 --> 01:36:04.640
I'll see you throughos. Somehow I can't. I won't believe

1604
01:36:04.640 --> 01:36:10.399
you did it. Thanks, thanks, No, Pa Jolie, you set

1605
01:36:10.439 --> 01:36:14.000
out to clear bootman Lalen, Well dash it haul. It

1606
01:36:14.000 --> 01:36:15.000
looks as if you hadn't.

1607
01:36:15.279 --> 01:36:18.039
No, he didn't. Butman lal was out of jail at

1608
01:36:18.119 --> 01:36:20.800
least an hour before you. Fellows came into police headquarters

1609
01:36:20.800 --> 01:36:21.199
to see me.

1610
01:36:21.600 --> 01:36:24.279
Ow you mean that you canned him lose?

1611
01:36:24.479 --> 01:36:24.720
Yes?

1612
01:36:25.359 --> 01:36:25.720
How's that?

1613
01:36:25.800 --> 01:36:26.000
Chief?

1614
01:36:26.000 --> 01:36:28.720
Thus, because mister Lowe, he didn't go to the temple

1615
01:36:28.760 --> 01:36:31.159
at all with his wife last night. He went down

1616
01:36:31.159 --> 01:36:33.840
to Queen's Park hotel and played billiards till one o'clock.

1617
01:36:34.359 --> 01:36:36.920
He called up a few friends and proved that easily enough.

1618
01:36:38.000 --> 01:36:42.159
That leaves nobody. But yes, Pajoli, I don't know anything

1619
01:36:42.199 --> 01:36:45.640
about it. I did commit the murder. I was asleep.

1620
01:36:46.560 --> 01:36:48.760
I don't know anything about it. That's all I can say.

1621
01:36:50.640 --> 01:36:51.800
I don't know anything about it.

1622
01:36:52.119 --> 01:36:55.560
Perhaps the rest in jail will help restore your memory. Well,

1623
01:36:55.800 --> 01:36:56.960
we'll see.

1624
01:36:57.239 --> 01:37:02.159
Come now, Paggiolio, man, don't be too unhearted. I promise you.

1625
01:37:02.560 --> 01:37:03.920
I'll do everything I can.

1626
01:37:18.439 --> 01:37:22.119
In the curse against Henry Pozzola, having been dula tried

1627
01:37:22.119 --> 01:37:24.119
by a jury of your pairs, who have been found

1628
01:37:24.199 --> 01:37:27.640
dirited by the powers invested in me a heroic sentence,

1629
01:37:27.680 --> 01:37:29.000
you to be hanged by the neck.

1630
01:37:29.119 --> 01:37:30.359
Continue on date.

1631
01:37:40.880 --> 01:37:45.800
To recall a lost stream is the most tantalizing task

1632
01:37:45.880 --> 01:37:47.720
ever a human brain was driven to.

1633
01:37:49.960 --> 01:37:52.239
But if I lie still long enough I miss bunk,

1634
01:37:53.640 --> 01:37:55.319
perhaps I can recapture.

1635
01:37:54.880 --> 01:37:56.760
The dream I had in the temple last night.

1636
01:37:58.600 --> 01:38:03.920
Yes, yes, it seems to me that be in the

1637
01:38:04.000 --> 01:38:07.960
gym they all to moved, and suddenly the dome overhead

1638
01:38:08.000 --> 01:38:11.520
was opened and left me staring upward into a vast abyss.

1639
01:38:12.159 --> 01:38:16.000
For I was alone in endless space. We're all creatures

1640
01:38:16.039 --> 01:38:18.199
in all matter that had ever been, or ever would

1641
01:38:18.239 --> 01:38:21.640
be for wrapped up in me partiori.

1642
01:38:23.760 --> 01:38:27.039
That was my dream.

1643
01:38:27.079 --> 01:38:31.279
That's an odd thing. Six men dreaming the same dream

1644
01:38:31.319 --> 01:38:35.079
in different terms. That must be a physical cause for

1645
01:38:35.159 --> 01:38:43.479
such a phenomenon. Of course, I've got it, because WHOA

1646
01:38:44.560 --> 01:38:48.079
I have it. I'm solid, Get me out of here.

1647
01:38:48.760 --> 01:39:05.880
I know who killed the girl? What is it, my friend?

1648
01:39:06.239 --> 01:39:09.640
I know who murdered the bride. Hold Hira, dust at

1649
01:39:09.680 --> 01:39:15.039
it A lesson? Lessen go. Tell Beckers to take the

1650
01:39:15.079 --> 01:39:17.600
gold he found in my trunk and develop all the

1651
01:39:17.640 --> 01:39:21.880
finger prints on it. You'll find Hira dass Prince. Also

1652
01:39:21.960 --> 01:39:24.359
tell him to follow up that obviiate cloth I gave him.

1653
01:39:24.680 --> 01:39:26.560
He'll find the Hira Dust and a man to put

1654
01:39:26.600 --> 01:39:29.560
the gold in my trunk. See if they don't find

1655
01:39:29.640 --> 01:39:32.319
brass or steel filings in my room where the scoundrel

1656
01:39:32.359 --> 01:39:33.600
sat and filed a new key.

1657
01:39:33.800 --> 01:39:38.520
But they've already done that long ago I have. But certainly,

1658
01:39:39.279 --> 01:39:43.319
and old Hira Dust confessed everything. Though, why a rich

1659
01:39:43.359 --> 01:39:45.920
old man like him should have murdered a pretty child

1660
01:39:46.439 --> 01:39:47.399
is more than I can see.

1661
01:39:47.840 --> 01:39:51.600
But why did he pick on me as a scapegoat? Ooh?

1662
01:39:51.880 --> 01:39:54.960
He explained that to the police. He said he picked

1663
01:39:54.960 --> 01:39:57.359
out a white man so the police would make a

1664
01:39:57.399 --> 01:40:00.880
thorough investigation and be sure to catch him, didn't I.

1665
01:40:02.159 --> 01:40:04.920
But what I can't see is why the old boy

1666
01:40:05.000 --> 01:40:06.439
wanted to be caught and hanged.

1667
01:40:07.199 --> 01:40:08.840
Why didn't he commit suicide?

1668
01:40:09.319 --> 01:40:15.560
Why? I know why, because according to his religion, in

1669
01:40:15.600 --> 01:40:17.560
that case, his soul would have returned in the form

1670
01:40:17.600 --> 01:40:20.319
of some beast. He wanted to be slain because he

1671
01:40:20.399 --> 01:40:24.039
expected suspects to be reborn instantly in Banaras, with little

1672
01:40:24.079 --> 01:40:27.840
mael Iran as his bride instead of his nephews. He

1673
01:40:27.960 --> 01:40:30.479
hopes to be a great man with wife and children,

1674
01:40:31.319 --> 01:40:35.319
all the things he was not here in Triner. Then, yes, yes,

1675
01:40:35.680 --> 01:40:36.520
you must be right.

1676
01:40:37.239 --> 01:40:39.880
Why didn't you come and tell me about Hyradace's confession

1677
01:40:39.920 --> 01:40:42.720
the moment it occurred? What do you mean keeping me

1678
01:40:42.760 --> 01:40:45.600
here when you know I'm an innocent man? Why didn't

1679
01:40:45.640 --> 01:40:46.720
you tell me before this?

1680
01:40:47.199 --> 01:40:51.199
Because I couldn't old Hira Darce didn't confess until a

1681
01:40:51.279 --> 01:40:53.800
month and ten days after you were hanged.

1682
01:41:00.199 --> 01:41:02.720
So ends a passage to Bernares t s.

1683
01:41:02.720 --> 01:41:07.079
Stribling's Tale of Mysterious Death and Death Mysterious. This was

1684
01:41:07.119 --> 01:41:17.319
Tonight's story of suspense. Suspense is produced by William Spear.

1685
01:41:17.520 --> 01:41:20.239
John Deets was our guest director this evening. Tonight's radio

01:41:20.279 --> 01:41:23.439
drama was written by Carol Case and scored by Bernard Hermann.

1687
01:41:23.720 --> 01:41:27.159
Paul Stewart was Padioli, Barry Kroger was mister Hira Das,

1688
01:41:27.239 --> 01:41:28.760
and Horace Bram played mister Lowe.

1689
01:41:29.159 --> 01:41:31.760
Other than the cast were Alan Hewitt and Guy Repp.

1690
01:41:31.960 --> 01:41:34.359
Next week, at this time, Columbia will bring you another

1691
01:41:34.399 --> 01:41:37.680
selected story from the world's great literature of thrills. Another

1692
01:41:37.720 --> 01:41:42.600
study in suspense, Missus Barry Kroger, And this is the

1693
01:41:42.680 --> 01:42:00.600
Columbia Broadcasting System.

1694
01:42:02.439 --> 01:42:08.720
My dear, do you ever sit and ponder not just

1695
01:42:09.800 --> 01:42:13.720
what you'll have for lunch or who you may see

1696
01:42:13.760 --> 01:42:17.239
on your way to work, But do you ever ponder

1697
01:42:17.359 --> 01:42:23.600
about what you want? What you truly want, what will

1698
01:42:23.640 --> 01:42:29.760
bring you a satisfaction, a contentment? Is it love?

1699
01:42:31.359 --> 01:42:32.039
Is it health?

1700
01:42:33.279 --> 01:42:39.159
For me, I'm starting to believe it's justice.

1701
01:42:42.439 --> 01:43:02.880
Have you heard the strange tales of the Whistler.

1702
01:43:03.720 --> 01:43:08.119
I'm the whistler.

1703
01:43:09.119 --> 01:43:11.840
She wants me to leave, wants me out of the way, sure,

1704
01:43:11.880 --> 01:43:15.039
so she can have everything for herself. Lagle letter, I'll

1705
01:43:15.119 --> 01:43:15.520
kill her.

1706
01:43:15.520 --> 01:43:23.800
First Saturday night and again CBS presents the Whistler.

1707
01:43:28.880 --> 01:43:33.079
I the Whistler know many things, for I walk by night.

1708
01:43:34.039 --> 01:43:37.600
I know many strange tales, many secrets hidden in the

1709
01:43:37.640 --> 01:43:40.800
hearts of men and women who stepped into the shadows.

1710
01:43:41.800 --> 01:43:45.840
And so I tell you tonight, the unusual story of justice.

1711
01:43:47.920 --> 01:43:50.560
Elderly John Henderson, a well to do farmer in the

1712
01:43:50.560 --> 01:43:53.760
Middle West, to widower with a son of eighteen, has

1713
01:43:53.800 --> 01:43:57.000
recently married a young woman named Marta, a girl from

1714
01:43:57.000 --> 01:44:00.119
the city. The coming of the war placed ex to

1715
01:44:00.239 --> 01:44:03.720
burdens upon mister Henderson, and in the past few months

1716
01:44:03.720 --> 01:44:06.039
the shortage of hands and over work have been too

1717
01:44:06.119 --> 01:44:09.319
much for his aging heart. It has been necessary for

1718
01:44:09.439 --> 01:44:12.159
him to take to his bed and trust the actual

1719
01:44:12.239 --> 01:44:14.920
running of the farm to his eccentric son, Matthew.

1720
01:44:18.399 --> 01:44:19.920
Father, I want to talk to you.

1721
01:44:19.960 --> 01:44:22.039
What's wrong now, man, I gotta talk to you.

1722
01:44:22.199 --> 01:44:23.479
Well, come in and talk.

1723
01:44:23.880 --> 01:44:25.119
I'm not staying here any longer.

1724
01:44:25.199 --> 01:44:27.840
I'm leaving. Don't start that again.

1725
01:44:27.960 --> 01:44:29.520
I ain't gonna stay here and be bossed around with

1726
01:44:29.600 --> 01:44:30.000
that woman.

1727
01:44:30.439 --> 01:44:34.239
I ann don't. I have trouble enough without you squawking

1728
01:44:34.319 --> 01:44:36.680
all the time? What is it now?

1729
01:44:36.800 --> 01:44:38.920
I know more about this farm than she does. What

1730
01:44:39.079 --> 01:44:40.039
does she think she is?

1731
01:44:40.119 --> 01:44:41.600
Martha is my wife, Matt.

1732
01:44:41.640 --> 01:44:44.319
She's a good woman and she's trying her best to

1733
01:44:44.359 --> 01:44:45.079
be a mother to you.

1734
01:44:45.640 --> 01:44:48.000
But you're too big headed to give her a chance.

1735
01:44:48.159 --> 01:44:48.399
Mother.

1736
01:44:49.359 --> 01:44:52.520
She's nothing but a nat That'll be enough for you.

1737
01:44:52.920 --> 01:44:54.199
She don't like me, and I don't like her.

1738
01:44:54.279 --> 01:44:57.319
Come up, I'll get out of this bed and wail

1739
01:44:57.399 --> 01:44:58.319
the daylight's are you?

1740
01:44:59.319 --> 01:45:01.279
Maybe she got you, buffalo, but I know she's here

1741
01:45:01.319 --> 01:45:01.840
for no goods.

1742
01:45:01.920 --> 01:45:02.960
Did you hear me?

1743
01:45:03.199 --> 01:45:04.520
Or she's making a fool out of you?

1744
01:45:04.520 --> 01:45:04.800
Do this?

1745
01:45:05.000 --> 01:45:05.319
Do that?

1746
01:45:05.439 --> 01:45:05.760
Do this?

1747
01:45:05.960 --> 01:45:07.520
I hate better shut up.

1748
01:45:08.039 --> 01:45:11.600
She's a devil, a scheme of devil, lazy, good for nothing.

1749
01:45:11.640 --> 01:45:14.199
Bet get out of here. I'm not lazy. She's been

1750
01:45:14.239 --> 01:45:14.760
telling you.

1751
01:45:14.680 --> 01:45:16.520
That she hasn't said her word.

1752
01:45:16.640 --> 01:45:18.840
That isn't the truth. She wants me to leave, wants

1753
01:45:18.880 --> 01:45:20.600
me out of the way, sure, so she can have

1754
01:45:20.600 --> 01:45:22.520
everything for herself. Well, I ain't gonna letter.

1755
01:45:22.880 --> 01:45:24.840
I'll kill her first or what.

1756
01:45:26.880 --> 01:45:27.159
Nothing?

1757
01:45:27.199 --> 01:45:29.640
Get out of this room, your little fool, get out,

1758
01:45:30.199 --> 01:45:31.359
Get out of this her.

1759
01:45:31.560 --> 01:45:31.960
I won't.

1760
01:45:32.079 --> 01:45:34.039
That's just what she wants. She wants me on so

1761
01:45:34.079 --> 01:45:35.079
you can leave everything to her.

1762
01:45:35.199 --> 01:45:38.439
So you'll change your will, change my will?

1763
01:45:38.520 --> 01:45:40.000
Change it first thing in the morning.

1764
01:45:40.439 --> 01:45:43.640
To think that I should have s a n idiot.

1765
01:45:43.319 --> 01:45:45.600
For soon going on.

1766
01:45:45.840 --> 01:45:49.039
Here's all the shouting about money, your business?

1767
01:45:49.399 --> 01:45:50.319
Wrong with you?

1768
01:45:50.319 --> 01:45:50.880
You ought to know?

1769
01:45:51.479 --> 01:45:52.479
How do you feel, Josh?

1770
01:45:52.560 --> 01:45:56.039
It was all right, Marta till this crazy whipper snapper

1771
01:45:56.079 --> 01:45:56.560
come in here.

1772
01:45:56.680 --> 01:45:58.319
You better leave the room. Mat You know better than

1773
01:45:58.359 --> 01:46:00.720
to excite your father. You know he has high blood pressure.

1774
01:46:00.840 --> 01:46:03.640
Yeah, I can't think remember that I know as you do.

1775
01:46:04.720 --> 01:46:06.039
All right, I'll go.

1776
01:46:08.079 --> 01:46:11.640
Wish I could understand that boy. He's certainly a problem.

1777
01:46:11.880 --> 01:46:14.000
Forget about it, John, He's very young.

1778
01:46:14.479 --> 01:46:17.239
I can't understand why he dislikes you so much.

1779
01:46:17.319 --> 01:46:17.640
Murder.

1780
01:46:17.680 --> 01:46:19.760
He's determined that no one will take his mother's place.

1781
01:46:20.600 --> 01:46:23.680
Done everything to win him over. I suppose it's because

1782
01:46:23.720 --> 01:46:25.399
I'm so much younger than his mother would have been.

1783
01:46:26.239 --> 01:46:28.039
I could just gain his confidence.

1784
01:46:28.119 --> 01:46:29.880
Yes, Martha, that's the problem.

1785
01:46:30.239 --> 01:46:32.319
He's really a good boy, but he's made up his mind.

1786
01:46:32.319 --> 01:46:34.520
You justike. I know he thinks I'm driving.

1787
01:46:35.279 --> 01:46:37.119
There's so many things to be done around here. With

1788
01:46:37.159 --> 01:46:39.760
a shortage of hands, it's almost impossible to carry on.

1789
01:46:39.920 --> 01:46:43.600
Yes, I know, and I appreciate your interest. Marta. I

1790
01:46:43.680 --> 01:46:46.520
know you're doing your best. I only wish I could

1791
01:46:46.520 --> 01:46:48.199
get up from here and do something.

1792
01:46:48.439 --> 01:46:49.039
Don't worry.

1793
01:46:50.640 --> 01:46:54.239
I got this letter this morning. Henry Jacobs. He was

1794
01:46:54.239 --> 01:46:55.399
with me for ten years.

1795
01:46:55.560 --> 01:46:58.039
He was wounded in action, and he'll be released from

1796
01:46:58.039 --> 01:46:59.800
the hospital in San Francisco in a week.

1797
01:47:00.119 --> 01:47:01.600
He's coming back here.

1798
01:47:02.039 --> 01:47:02.479
I don't know.

1799
01:47:02.520 --> 01:47:05.079
I hope so we could certainly use it.

1800
01:47:05.199 --> 01:47:07.000
Oh, John, that would be wonderful.

1801
01:47:07.079 --> 01:47:09.880
He's been discharged, but I have no idea what condition

1802
01:47:09.960 --> 01:47:12.600
he's in, but he's welcome any times.

1803
01:47:12.680 --> 01:47:16.119
Whatever his condition, he can do something. You better try

1804
01:47:16.119 --> 01:47:18.960
to rest now, Matthew is upset your terribly.

1805
01:47:29.439 --> 01:47:32.720
Two weeks past, and all the while the enmity between

1806
01:47:32.760 --> 01:47:36.760
Matt and Marta grows worse and worse. Then one morning,

1807
01:47:36.880 --> 01:47:41.760
the long waited arrival of Henry Jacobs becomes a reality.

1808
01:47:42.600 --> 01:47:44.359
Wow, well, things don't look same around here.

1809
01:47:44.359 --> 01:47:45.000
What's that, man?

1810
01:47:45.319 --> 01:47:46.319
Things ain't same around here?

1811
01:47:46.359 --> 01:47:47.319
Henry sign On.

1812
01:47:47.399 --> 01:47:48.399
Looks kind of run down.

1813
01:47:48.680 --> 01:47:50.760
Yeah, well that can be taken care of in the

1814
01:47:50.800 --> 01:47:55.319
short order. I don't know what's wrong with you, sorpus.

1815
01:47:55.479 --> 01:47:56.600
Uh, you'll find out.

1816
01:47:56.640 --> 01:48:00.960
You just wait, let's get out of this JEOPI how

1817
01:48:01.000 --> 01:48:04.920
many hands you have now, Matt? Just me just you know,

1818
01:48:04.960 --> 01:48:06.039
one of the things are run down.

1819
01:48:06.119 --> 01:48:06.840
What do you mean by that?

1820
01:48:07.399 --> 01:48:10.279
Where's your pop upstairs in bed? Ain't well?

1821
01:48:12.640 --> 01:48:13.479
Oh?

1822
01:48:13.520 --> 01:48:17.000
Hello man, Well you must be Henry Jacob.

1823
01:48:17.600 --> 01:48:18.760
Yeah that's right.

1824
01:48:19.199 --> 01:48:20.960
I'm secondly glad to see.

1825
01:48:20.760 --> 01:48:24.199
You, glad to see you. Who are you know?

1826
01:48:24.399 --> 01:48:25.079
She lives here?

1827
01:48:25.960 --> 01:48:28.199
Lives here? Oh, that's nice.

1828
01:48:28.239 --> 01:48:31.720
And missus John Henderson what missus?

1829
01:48:31.880 --> 01:48:32.520
Yes, that's right.

1830
01:48:32.800 --> 01:48:34.279
You mean your pop's married?

1831
01:48:34.439 --> 01:48:34.600
Yeah?

1832
01:48:34.680 --> 01:48:35.399
The old fool.

1833
01:48:35.880 --> 01:48:42.079
Please, Wow, congratulations Miss Henderson. Pop sure knows how to

1834
01:48:42.079 --> 01:48:42.439
pick him.

1835
01:48:42.680 --> 01:48:43.399
She did the picking.

1836
01:48:44.680 --> 01:48:46.159
Where's he I'd like to have a talk with him.

1837
01:48:46.199 --> 01:48:50.880
He's upstairs in bed, and go right up by the way.

1838
01:48:51.920 --> 01:48:58.319
It's your first name is Henderson, Mary Martha. Well, I'll

1839
01:48:58.359 --> 01:48:59.159
run up and see Pop.

1840
01:48:59.359 --> 01:49:01.800
Yes, he's waiting for you, and lunch will be ready

1841
01:49:01.800 --> 01:49:02.800
in just a few minutes.

1842
01:49:02.960 --> 01:49:13.840
Well, I'll be ready Mortall.

1843
01:49:14.159 --> 01:49:17.720
Well, Henry, you're certainly your sight for sore eyes. I'm

1844
01:49:17.720 --> 01:49:20.079
glad you're back safe, and I want you to know

1845
01:49:20.159 --> 01:49:22.680
that I'm proud of you. How do you feel wire

1846
01:49:22.720 --> 01:49:23.279
you hurt? Bad?

1847
01:49:23.479 --> 01:49:23.640
Oh?

1848
01:49:23.720 --> 01:49:26.079
Not too bad. I can still do things I had

1849
01:49:26.119 --> 01:49:27.479
to go back in a year or so. It's still

1850
01:49:27.520 --> 01:49:30.359
gone on. I meantime, I plan to say here, good

1851
01:49:30.840 --> 01:49:32.560
my looks of things. You sure need someone.

1852
01:49:32.600 --> 01:49:35.239
I certainly you. Oh you met Marta of course?

1853
01:49:35.560 --> 01:49:38.840
Yeah, a nice woman song with Matthew doesn't seem to

1854
01:49:38.880 --> 01:49:39.119
like her.

1855
01:49:39.199 --> 01:49:41.640
I don't know, Henry, she's got some idea in his

1856
01:49:41.760 --> 01:49:43.000
head that she doesn't like him.

1857
01:49:43.720 --> 01:49:45.520
Matt always was a peculiar kid.

1858
01:49:45.680 --> 01:49:47.000
He's worse now than he was.

1859
01:49:47.720 --> 01:49:48.600
Maybe he'll get over it.

1860
01:49:48.680 --> 01:49:52.439
You you like Mardy you think she's a good woman. Why,

1861
01:49:52.600 --> 01:49:59.399
of course she's wonderful. I just an English no matter.

1862
01:49:59.439 --> 01:50:02.119
She's a swell yeah, glad you like her, Henry. She's

1863
01:50:02.119 --> 01:50:04.800
trying hard to run things and with no one. But

1864
01:50:05.239 --> 01:50:07.079
I don't worry, Bob. I'll pitching in the morning and

1865
01:50:07.119 --> 01:50:08.960
in a few days I want to recognize the place.

1866
01:50:09.399 --> 01:50:21.520
I'll see you later. And so Henry pitches in and

1867
01:50:21.600 --> 01:50:25.920
in three weeks things are as he predicted, unrecognizable. Everything

1868
01:50:25.960 --> 01:50:29.359
has changed, taking on a new appearance. Henry has worked

1869
01:50:29.359 --> 01:50:32.560
like a dog all day long. Every day at the

1870
01:50:32.640 --> 01:50:35.800
edge of the field by the stream, Henry pauses for lunch,

1871
01:50:36.319 --> 01:50:38.920
a lunch brought to him every noon by Martin.

1872
01:50:40.079 --> 01:50:40.479
Henry.

1873
01:50:40.600 --> 01:50:44.159
Oh no, I couldn't eat another bite, Marta, just for you. Yeah,

1874
01:50:44.680 --> 01:50:47.760
and I couldn't. I'm full up to hear you're a sissy.

1875
01:50:48.039 --> 01:50:50.079
Maybe so, but I just can't eat anymore.

1876
01:50:51.720 --> 01:50:54.039
When do you think you'll be going back back where?

1877
01:50:54.520 --> 01:50:54.760
Why?

1878
01:50:55.079 --> 01:50:55.840
Back to the Armie?

1879
01:50:56.039 --> 01:50:56.760
Oh, I don't know.

1880
01:50:57.119 --> 01:50:59.920
I'm the slidest idea. If they'll want me, really, would you?

1881
01:51:01.479 --> 01:51:02.199
Would you miss me?

1882
01:51:02.840 --> 01:51:02.960
Oh?

1883
01:51:03.079 --> 01:51:06.079
Yes, yes, of course, miss you very much. You've made

1884
01:51:06.119 --> 01:51:08.760
a great deal to us. Who's us John and me.

1885
01:51:09.439 --> 01:51:10.159
Let me see.

1886
01:51:11.000 --> 01:51:13.439
You know something, When I came here, I was counting

1887
01:51:13.479 --> 01:51:16.199
the days until I could get back into action. But

1888
01:51:16.319 --> 01:51:19.880
for some reason, I'd like to stay here a while longer.

1889
01:51:19.880 --> 01:51:20.720
What that reason is?

1890
01:51:21.000 --> 01:51:22.359
What do you think it is, Henry?

1891
01:51:23.239 --> 01:51:28.239
I have an idea. Yes, I think it's because of you, Marta. Yeah,

1892
01:51:28.319 --> 01:51:29.960
you that's ridiculous.

1893
01:51:30.239 --> 01:51:33.600
Yeah, I know it is. That's the way it is, Henry,

1894
01:51:33.640 --> 01:51:34.079
look at me.

1895
01:51:35.600 --> 01:51:38.720
Do love me? Is like what you're trying to say.

1896
01:51:39.039 --> 01:51:40.680
I don't know just what I'm trying to say, but

1897
01:51:41.640 --> 01:51:45.319
well I'm.

1898
01:51:44.000 --> 01:51:45.720
Just a little punch drunk. Why don't you tell me

1899
01:51:46.439 --> 01:51:48.720
you're married? Marta? Married to John?

1900
01:51:48.760 --> 01:51:49.920
You want to say it? Why don't you?

1901
01:51:50.880 --> 01:51:53.000
All right? Yes I do?

1902
01:51:53.079 --> 01:51:57.479
I do love you, Henry. Now I better get back

1903
01:51:57.479 --> 01:51:59.039
to that tractor. Got a lot of work to do.

1904
01:51:59.199 --> 01:52:02.399
Henry kiss me?

1905
01:52:03.680 --> 01:52:06.119
Huh?

1906
01:52:06.600 --> 01:52:08.079
Now you better get back to your direct.

1907
01:52:14.039 --> 01:52:15.119
Hello there, miss Henderson.

1908
01:52:16.079 --> 01:52:17.600
Matthew, how's everything?

1909
01:52:18.319 --> 01:52:18.960
What do you want?

1910
01:52:19.119 --> 01:52:19.439
Nothing?

1911
01:52:19.520 --> 01:52:20.119
Nothing at all.

1912
01:52:21.199 --> 01:52:22.760
Just wondering how father'll take it.

1913
01:52:22.760 --> 01:52:24.199
When I tell him what I just saw and what

1914
01:52:24.279 --> 01:52:25.039
did you see?

1915
01:52:25.439 --> 01:52:27.119
You and Henry kiss him?

1916
01:52:27.560 --> 01:52:28.760
I wonder how Father's gonna like that.

1917
01:52:28.880 --> 01:52:31.079
You wouldn't like it? Matthew. It would upset him terrible.

1918
01:52:31.159 --> 01:52:31.960
That's just with that figure.

1919
01:52:32.119 --> 01:52:34.039
You wouldn't dare why'd you do it?

1920
01:52:34.159 --> 01:52:36.560
Because Henry's a good man, he's worked hard. There's no

1921
01:52:36.560 --> 01:52:37.439
harm in kissing him.

1922
01:52:38.039 --> 01:52:41.199
Well, maybe father will see it differently. I think I'll

1923
01:52:41.199 --> 01:52:41.840
tell him right now.

1924
01:52:41.960 --> 01:52:42.279
Matthew.

1925
01:52:42.319 --> 01:52:44.800
Wait, huh, wait for I want to talk to you,

1926
01:52:45.479 --> 01:52:46.119
all right, talk.

1927
01:52:46.319 --> 01:52:48.880
You mustn't tell your father well, he wouldn't be able

1928
01:52:48.920 --> 01:52:49.800
to able.

1929
01:52:49.560 --> 01:52:50.600
To take the sharks that is.

1930
01:52:50.760 --> 01:52:52.720
Please please don't say anything about it.

1931
01:52:53.479 --> 01:52:55.479
Then you clear out of here by tomorrow, Rah, tell

1932
01:52:55.560 --> 01:52:57.800
him you're a devil. You made a fool out of father.

1933
01:52:57.880 --> 01:52:59.800
Now you're starting on Henry. You clear out of here

1934
01:52:59.840 --> 01:53:02.760
and don't say nothing. No, no, you get out or

1935
01:53:02.800 --> 01:53:03.760
I'll spill the whole way.

1936
01:53:12.960 --> 01:53:17.920
Well, Marta, now you are in a precarious situation. Matthew

1937
01:53:18.000 --> 01:53:21.520
really has something to talk about now and he means

1938
01:53:21.560 --> 01:53:25.479
what he says. Better think fast, Mita, what are you

1939
01:53:25.560 --> 01:53:26.159
going to do?

1940
01:53:27.119 --> 01:53:27.520
Henry?

1941
01:53:28.159 --> 01:53:28.399
Yeah?

1942
01:53:28.439 --> 01:53:30.600
Marta, what are you doing here?

1943
01:53:30.680 --> 01:53:31.960
I've got to talk to you.

1944
01:53:32.000 --> 01:53:34.399
Sure, but what what's up? Cetera?

1945
01:53:34.880 --> 01:53:35.479
It's Matthew.

1946
01:53:36.640 --> 01:53:37.199
What's he done?

1947
01:53:37.319 --> 01:53:38.840
Henry? He saw us?

1948
01:53:39.239 --> 01:53:39.640
Saw us?

1949
01:53:39.720 --> 01:53:41.680
Or what he was standing in the bushes behind us.

1950
01:53:41.680 --> 01:53:43.800
He saw us and he heard every word we said.

1951
01:53:43.920 --> 01:53:44.399
Oh you know.

1952
01:53:44.600 --> 01:53:47.159
Second you walked away, he stepped out. He saw you

1953
01:53:47.279 --> 01:53:47.680
kiss me.

1954
01:53:48.079 --> 01:53:50.239
Oh but I no harm in that?

1955
01:53:50.359 --> 01:53:50.520
Is it?

1956
01:53:50.640 --> 01:53:50.800
Well?

1957
01:53:50.880 --> 01:53:53.359
For some reason, he's never liked me, Henry, No, he's

1958
01:53:53.399 --> 01:53:53.920
threatened me.

1959
01:53:53.920 --> 01:53:54.640
He threatened you.

1960
01:53:54.880 --> 01:53:57.600
He says he's going to tell his father all about it. Naturally,

1961
01:53:57.600 --> 01:53:58.840
he'll exaggerate everything.

1962
01:53:58.880 --> 01:53:59.760
Where's the threat coming?

1963
01:54:00.119 --> 01:54:02.399
Going to tell John? Unless I leave here by tomorrow?

1964
01:54:02.600 --> 01:54:03.159
Leave here?

1965
01:54:03.800 --> 01:54:06.840
It's ridiculous. Why should you leave here? You belong here,

1966
01:54:06.880 --> 01:54:09.600
You worked hard around this place. Why should you give

1967
01:54:09.600 --> 01:54:10.960
it all up and walk out? Just because of what

1968
01:54:10.960 --> 01:54:11.520
Matthew thinks?

1969
01:54:11.560 --> 01:54:14.199
What he thinks doesn't make any difference. The trouble is

1970
01:54:14.199 --> 01:54:15.520
what will happen when he tells father.

1971
01:54:17.159 --> 01:54:19.760
Yeah, you know what will happen. John will be furious.

1972
01:54:20.119 --> 01:54:21.600
He'll probably order us both out.

1973
01:54:21.439 --> 01:54:21.960
Of the house.

1974
01:54:22.600 --> 01:54:25.359
Think so well, of course he will. You believe everything

1975
01:54:25.399 --> 01:54:26.239
Matthew tells him.

1976
01:54:26.680 --> 01:54:27.960
He'll cut me off without a dollar.

1977
01:54:28.000 --> 01:54:31.239
You'll you'll get a divorce. Do you realize what this means?

1978
01:54:31.439 --> 01:54:34.039
Yeah, Lisa, good would it?

1979
01:54:34.159 --> 01:54:35.520
I have an interest in this place.

1980
01:54:35.560 --> 01:54:38.319
I worked hard, and I don't intend to give it up,

1981
01:54:38.800 --> 01:54:40.119
certainly not because of Matthew.

1982
01:54:40.800 --> 01:54:42.680
He liked nothing better than to have his father turn

1983
01:54:42.760 --> 01:54:43.199
against me.

1984
01:54:43.520 --> 01:54:45.800
I'm found that good for little trouble maker.

1985
01:54:47.960 --> 01:54:49.840
Knowing anything that happened to you because of me.

1986
01:54:50.880 --> 01:54:53.680
Maybe I can explain to the old man, just say

1987
01:54:53.760 --> 01:54:56.640
Matthew was imagining things that there was.

1988
01:54:56.600 --> 01:54:57.199
Nothing to him.

1989
01:54:57.239 --> 01:54:59.079
Do you think John would believe you?

1990
01:54:59.119 --> 01:54:59.199
Do?

1991
01:54:59.359 --> 01:55:00.000
You?

1992
01:55:00.119 --> 01:55:03.479
Probably not shame the old man as says such a

1993
01:55:03.520 --> 01:55:04.279
half baked son.

1994
01:55:04.439 --> 01:55:06.119
Yes, but there's nothing to be done about that.

1995
01:55:07.880 --> 01:55:11.199
Well, in this condition, the old boy's level to depart

1996
01:55:11.319 --> 01:55:11.840
any day.

1997
01:55:12.119 --> 01:55:16.680
He's pretty bad off. Yes. Yeah, as it stands.

1998
01:55:16.319 --> 01:55:19.720
Half the property will go to you and half to Matthew. Well,

1999
01:55:19.760 --> 01:55:22.920
if Matthew stirs up trouble, you'll get nothing. Matthew will

2000
01:55:22.960 --> 01:55:23.399
get it all.

2001
01:55:23.640 --> 01:55:29.039
Yes, that wouldn't be fair, Henry wouldn't be right. What

2002
01:55:29.199 --> 01:55:30.079
can be done about it?

2003
01:55:30.520 --> 01:55:33.479
I don't know right now, but something can be done.

2004
01:55:34.720 --> 01:55:35.279
I'll tell you what.

2005
01:55:36.199 --> 01:55:38.880
You have a talk with Matthew, Tell him he's mistaken,

2006
01:55:39.720 --> 01:55:42.600
Try to talk him out of telling John. If that

2007
01:55:42.680 --> 01:55:45.439
don't work, then tell him that we'll tell him. You'll

2008
01:55:45.439 --> 01:55:47.680
do as he says that you'll leave as soon as possible.

2009
01:55:47.920 --> 01:55:49.720
I'll try Henry in the meantime.

2010
01:55:50.119 --> 01:55:53.520
Some way he'll turn up the works out of this. Understand,

2011
01:55:55.039 --> 01:55:57.920
I understand. Here he comes. Now, I'll get out of

2012
01:55:57.920 --> 01:56:00.119
the way and leave you alone.

2013
01:56:04.960 --> 01:56:10.399
Oh oh, Matthew, have you said anything to your father yet?

2014
01:56:10.640 --> 01:56:10.960
Father?

2015
01:56:11.159 --> 01:56:13.359
What about you know about me?

2016
01:56:13.479 --> 01:56:14.560
And?

2017
01:56:15.039 --> 01:56:17.399
Oh no, but I'm a gun on a little bit.

2018
01:56:17.560 --> 01:56:21.199
Please don't, matt think it over. You misunderstood everything. It

2019
01:56:21.279 --> 01:56:22.279
isn't the way you think.

2020
01:56:22.319 --> 01:56:23.840
Oh no, you can't pull any tricks on me.

2021
01:56:24.000 --> 01:56:27.319
I'm not pulling any tricks, Matthew. You're mistaken about everything.

2022
01:56:27.359 --> 01:56:30.720
Oh please, don't tell him. You've upset him enough. You're

2023
01:56:30.760 --> 01:56:34.640
constantly at him about something. Yes, anyone would think you

2024
01:56:34.640 --> 01:56:35.880
had no regard whatever.

2025
01:56:35.640 --> 01:56:36.159
For his health.

2026
01:56:36.199 --> 01:56:38.600
But you didn't care whether he lives or not.

2027
01:56:39.119 --> 01:56:39.520
That's all.

2028
01:56:39.600 --> 01:56:41.079
And if you're tell him this, it may kill him.

2029
01:56:41.159 --> 01:56:41.720
Yeah.

2030
01:56:41.760 --> 01:56:45.159
Well, I'm gonna tell him just the same, all.

2088
01:59:55.600 --> 01:59:58.199
but each out of the corner of his eye, constantly

2089
01:59:58.279 --> 02:00:02.159
watches the others. Matthew is the most silent and refuses

2090
02:00:02.199 --> 02:00:03.439
to engage in conversation.

2091
02:00:04.720 --> 02:00:07.560
Now dinner is over, and as they rise from the table.

Here it is John.

2097
02:00:30.920 --> 02:00:33.239
John good, Matthew, call a doctor.

2098
02:00:33.399 --> 02:00:42.439
Hurry, Yes, Matthew, call a doctor. But it's too late

2099
02:00:42.479 --> 02:00:43.880
for the doctor because.

2100
02:00:43.640 --> 02:00:48.159
John is gone. But the doctor comes, pronounces John dead

2101
02:00:48.199 --> 02:00:51.880
and leaves. And the next morning, after the body has removed,

2102
02:00:52.359 --> 02:01:00.439
two men drive up to the farm. Yes, sor, Yes,

2103
02:01:00.920 --> 02:01:04.239
my name is Houston. I'm the sheriff. Will you come in,

2104
02:01:04.600 --> 02:01:05.039
of course?

2105
02:01:06.159 --> 02:01:08.840
Oh, this is uh the sheriff, Baker. How do you do,

2106
02:01:08.960 --> 02:01:09.680
mister Henderson.

2107
02:01:10.119 --> 02:01:12.479
I'd like to talk to you regarding the circumstances of

2108
02:01:12.520 --> 02:01:13.399
your husband's dad.

2109
02:01:13.640 --> 02:01:14.760
Circumstances.

2110
02:01:15.279 --> 02:01:16.079
What do you mean?

2111
02:01:16.159 --> 02:01:18.640
Your husband's doctor refused to sign a death certificate?

2112
02:01:19.960 --> 02:01:21.319
But why should he refuse? What?

2113
02:01:21.920 --> 02:01:24.079
Mister Henderson has been ill for some time?

2114
02:01:24.520 --> 02:01:27.239
The less, the doctor suggested that an autopsy be performed.

2115
02:01:27.239 --> 02:01:29.479
At why an autopsy?

2116
02:01:29.640 --> 02:01:31.600
Because your husband didn't die of a stroke.

2117
02:01:32.560 --> 02:01:35.000
He didn't. But what on earth?

2118
02:01:35.279 --> 02:01:38.279
Well it seems committed.

2119
02:01:38.319 --> 02:01:39.680
Henry, you too, Matthew.

2120
02:01:42.600 --> 02:01:47.880
It's wrong Marta Henry Jacobs. That's right, I'm Houston, the sheriff. Sheriff,

2121
02:01:47.960 --> 02:01:51.479

What are you doing here?

2124
02:01:53.199 --> 02:01:54.079
We'll get to that in a minute.

2125
02:01:54.079 --> 02:01:56.960
Matthew sheriff, says that John didn't die of a stroke.

2126
02:01:57.960 --> 02:02:01.319
That's right, The doctor suggested. An ought was performed and

2127
02:02:01.399 --> 02:02:05.960
the content of arsenic was found arsenake look on, Henderson

2128
02:02:06.079 --> 02:02:09.119
was poisoned. The doctor recognized the symptoms. He examined the

2129
02:02:09.159 --> 02:02:12.520
food served John last night and became suspicious. Brought some

2130
02:02:12.600 --> 02:02:16.119
of it with him. Arsenic was found in the parsnipsnips?

2131
02:02:16.479 --> 02:02:19.760
Did you prepare the food, missus Henderson? Did you buy

2132
02:02:19.800 --> 02:02:21.920
any chance put anything in the food?

2133
02:02:22.159 --> 02:02:22.800
Certainly not?

2134
02:02:22.920 --> 02:02:24.000
Where would I get asenic?

2135
02:02:24.359 --> 02:02:27.119
Do you have any arsenic or rat poison on the place?

2136
02:02:27.199 --> 02:02:28.760
Oh, not a bit. I'm out of it. I'm gonna

2137
02:02:28.760 --> 02:02:29.520
get some tomorrow.

2138
02:02:30.680 --> 02:02:35.159
Better check the premise, stairly, baker, did you serve the

2139
02:02:35.199 --> 02:02:36.119
food to your husband?

2140
02:02:36.640 --> 02:02:38.680
No, Matthew took it to his room.

2141
02:02:38.760 --> 02:02:40.520
But why should I?

2142
02:02:41.159 --> 02:02:43.800
According to doctor Stevens, you and your father been quarreling

2143
02:02:43.840 --> 02:02:44.159
all lot.

2144
02:02:44.359 --> 02:02:45.640
But I didn't the food.

2145
02:02:45.640 --> 02:02:46.159
I didn't.

2146
02:02:46.199 --> 02:02:47.960
And why did you buy a box of rat poison

2147
02:02:47.960 --> 02:02:49.800
at the drug store yesterday? I sing a little box

2148
02:02:49.840 --> 02:02:51.439

2149
02:02:51.479 --> 02:02:53.640
Why? Come on? Why?

2150
02:02:53.920 --> 02:02:55.520
Because she wanted she told me to get it.

2151
02:02:55.800 --> 02:02:56.720
You signed for her.

2152
02:02:56.840 --> 02:02:57.239
She did it.

2153
02:02:57.399 --> 02:02:58.800
She told me to get it. She's the one who

2154
02:02:58.800 --> 02:02:59.039
did it.

2155
02:03:00.520 --> 02:03:02.119
I never said a word about rat poison.

2156
02:03:02.560 --> 02:03:03.680
We'll be buy it by the power.

2157
02:03:03.960 --> 02:03:06.600
She's a lion. She wanted father to die. She couldn't

2158
02:03:06.640 --> 02:03:08.479
change his wheels, so he couldn't have washed it.

2159
02:03:09.039 --> 02:03:11.520
Where's the box of poison you bought, Matthew, I.

Come on, what is it?

Yes, I'm sorry, Matthew.

2165
02:03:19.960 --> 02:03:21.199
You forced me to tell the truth.

2166
02:03:21.439 --> 02:03:23.720

Whose room is that?

It's Matthew's room.

2176
02:03:41.159 --> 02:03:42.680
I didn't put it, did she wanted?

2177
02:03:42.960 --> 02:03:43.319
He didn't know?

2178
02:03:43.960 --> 02:03:45.840
You're all we want to get rid of me.

2179
02:03:45.920 --> 02:03:47.479
I know, I know, all.

2180
02:03:47.479 --> 02:03:49.840
Right, Come on, Matthew, a bit too hot under the collar.

2181
02:03:49.880 --> 02:03:50.520
We'll take you away.

2182
02:03:50.520 --> 02:03:51.760
You can cool off for a while.

2183
02:03:58.880 --> 02:04:02.640
Yes, you too hot under the collar. You walked right

2184
02:04:02.680 --> 02:04:06.479
into it, Matthew. Everything points his evidence against you. You

2185
02:04:06.560 --> 02:04:07.600
shouldn't have bought.

2186
02:04:07.399 --> 02:04:08.199
That little package.

2187
02:04:08.199 --> 02:04:10.640
You're rat poison for so large a farm.

2188
02:04:10.800 --> 02:04:13.600
You should have known better than that, but you did,

2189
02:04:13.640 --> 02:04:18.319
and now you're trapped. Yes, the trial is over. Matthew

2190
02:04:18.640 --> 02:04:21.880
has been convicted and sentenced to life. Several months have

2191
02:04:22.000 --> 02:04:24.560
passed and Martin and Henry are still running the farm.

2192
02:04:25.199 --> 02:04:29.640
Marta has inherited all the property, even Matthew's shared and

2193
02:04:30.119 --> 02:04:33.159
to Martin and Henry are now married.

2194
02:04:34.279 --> 02:04:39.520
Enjoy your dinner, Henry, Oh yeah, very good.

2195
02:04:39.920 --> 02:04:41.199
You didn't eat so much of it?

2196
02:04:41.399 --> 02:04:43.960
Well, just wasn't very hungry, Marna.

2197
02:04:45.920 --> 02:04:46.279
Why not?

2198
02:04:47.279 --> 02:04:49.399
I don't know, just not hungry.

2199
02:04:50.079 --> 02:04:51.199
What's on your mind, Henry?

2200
02:04:52.840 --> 02:04:53.880
Nothing in particular.

2201
02:04:54.279 --> 02:04:56.279
Something's bothering you the last few days?

2202
02:04:56.560 --> 02:04:57.800
Oh, I don't know.

2203
02:04:58.680 --> 02:05:02.079
Just get to thinking about things, what things, things in general?

2204
02:05:02.840 --> 02:05:08.159
A farm and us, Matthew. Matthew, Yeah, for a kid

2205
02:05:08.159 --> 02:05:11.159
who can't understand it. You're just all mixed up on

2206
02:05:11.239 --> 02:05:13.840
everything in life of me. I can't figure out why.

2207
02:05:13.880 --> 02:05:15.239
He should want to kill his father.

2208
02:05:15.319 --> 02:05:16.800
He probably doesn't know himself.

2209
02:05:16.920 --> 02:05:17.960
What good did he think of to do?

2210
02:05:19.199 --> 02:05:21.479
His father died before the will had been changed, before

2211
02:05:21.520 --> 02:05:22.880
he told him about you and me?

2212
02:05:23.239 --> 02:05:24.079
What do you hope the game?

2213
02:05:24.359 --> 02:05:24.760
He was.

2214
02:05:26.560 --> 02:05:31.079
Psychopathic? I guess crazy must have been. How long would

2215
02:05:31.079 --> 02:05:31.800
you account for it?

2216
02:05:32.600 --> 02:05:32.800
Well?

2217
02:05:34.359 --> 02:05:36.800
I hate to say it, but things turned out all

2218
02:05:36.880 --> 02:05:41.039
right for you, regardless of how it came about for

2219
02:05:41.159 --> 02:05:43.560
you and me. I guess this is the way it

2220
02:05:43.560 --> 02:05:44.840
was meant to be, yes.

2221
02:05:45.359 --> 02:05:48.000
State or Providence something.

2222
02:05:49.119 --> 02:05:51.399
I kind of like to leave here, get away from

2223
02:05:51.439 --> 02:05:52.960
the sell the place.

2224
02:05:53.560 --> 02:05:56.760
Why not? There are plenty of other places. Besides, farming

2225
02:05:56.840 --> 02:05:57.880
is a tough thing these days.

2226
02:05:58.000 --> 02:05:59.359
Somebody's got to run the farms.

2227
02:05:59.479 --> 02:06:03.760
Yeah, but well, not under the conditions but which we

2228
02:06:03.840 --> 02:06:05.079
happen to be running this one.

2229
02:06:05.920 --> 02:06:12.600
I feel ashamed and guilty, guilty, guilty of what?

2230
02:06:12.920 --> 02:06:19.079
Oh? Nothing exactly. I'd rather leave here, how about it?

2231
02:06:20.239 --> 02:06:21.640
I'd rather stay here for a while?

2232
02:06:21.880 --> 02:06:22.039
Why?

2233
02:06:22.760 --> 02:06:22.960
Well?

2234
02:06:23.039 --> 02:06:24.560
I just would you mind?

2235
02:06:24.680 --> 02:06:25.439
Yes? I do mind.

2236
02:06:25.439 --> 02:06:27.000
I don't want to stay around here any longer.

2237
02:06:27.479 --> 02:06:28.840
What on earth is happening to you?

2238
02:06:29.039 --> 02:06:33.439
I just told you I'm leaving. It's a matter.

2239
02:06:34.319 --> 02:06:40.159
Hmmm, I don't know it's got the funniest feeling. I'm

2240
02:06:40.159 --> 02:06:45.279
getting dizzy. I felt this for several days now, have

2241
02:06:45.439 --> 02:06:50.439
you yes, I can't understand it. This time of day

2242
02:06:50.720 --> 02:06:51.359
seems worse.

2243
02:06:52.800 --> 02:06:58.079
Yes, pain.

2244
02:06:59.560 --> 02:07:03.079
Pain my heart, Henry.

2245
02:07:03.199 --> 02:07:04.920
Pain in your heart?

2246
02:07:05.079 --> 02:07:08.680
Yes, it's getting worse in.

2247
02:07:08.640 --> 02:07:11.880
Your heart, Martyr. Are you sure it's in your heart? Yes?

2248
02:07:12.239 --> 02:07:12.560
Mussy?

2249
02:07:14.880 --> 02:07:18.520
Oh shey?

2250
02:07:18.560 --> 02:07:23.760
I think why?

2251
02:07:24.239 --> 02:07:25.199
Why?

2252
02:07:25.720 --> 02:07:25.960
God?

2253
02:07:26.000 --> 02:07:26.359
Shepman?

2254
02:07:26.439 --> 02:07:26.760
Henry?

2255
02:07:26.760 --> 02:07:27.359
What do you mean?

2256
02:07:27.560 --> 02:07:28.960
I don't think it's your heart, Martyr?

2257
02:07:29.479 --> 02:07:30.159
What No?

2258
02:07:30.319 --> 02:07:31.399
I think it's your stomach.

2259
02:07:34.439 --> 02:07:40.319
And I don't think a doctor can help you, not now, Henri, My,

2260
02:07:40.319 --> 02:07:42.840
what have you done?

2261
02:07:42.920 --> 02:07:43.520
What do you think?

2262
02:07:43.880 --> 02:07:44.319
You fool?

2263
02:07:44.439 --> 02:07:45.600
You're crazy, fool.

2264
02:07:46.159 --> 02:07:47.520
You've been putting something my food.

2265
02:07:48.079 --> 02:07:51.039
That's what been rat poison, Marta. I ever hear of it?

2266
02:07:51.479 --> 02:07:54.920
Why, Henry, I've been suspicious of you all along, Marta.

2267
02:07:55.399 --> 02:07:57.880
I never believed Matthew was gilly. He didn't put that

2268
02:07:57.920 --> 02:08:00.359
poison in his father's food. You did, and you told

2269
02:08:00.439 --> 02:08:02.079
him to get it at the drug store like a

2270
02:08:02.119 --> 02:08:02.640
poor fool.

2271
02:08:02.640 --> 02:08:03.720
He got it and signed for us.

2272
02:08:04.359 --> 02:08:04.880
What you say?

2273
02:08:05.079 --> 02:08:07.800
I have proof of it right here. Look, I got

2274
02:08:07.800 --> 02:08:09.800
this note from Jenkins the Druggist. It's the order list

2275
02:08:09.800 --> 02:08:11.720
you gave the Matthew. It's in your own handwriting. Look

2276
02:08:12.199 --> 02:08:15.520
you see that it's as arsenic for rats. Can you

2277
02:08:15.560 --> 02:08:16.039
deny this?

2278
02:08:16.319 --> 02:08:16.920
All right?

2279
02:08:17.039 --> 02:08:19.880
All right, I get right. I did tell him to cats.

2280
02:08:19.920 --> 02:08:20.760
And you open the package?

2281
02:08:20.760 --> 02:08:22.520
Who put it in the food and placed the box

2282
02:08:22.520 --> 02:08:25.039
in Matthew's room. You might as well tell the truth

2283
02:08:25.079 --> 02:08:25.880
because you're dying.

2284
02:08:25.960 --> 02:08:26.239
Martha.

2285
02:08:26.600 --> 02:08:37.479
Yes, I did it for you, for us, Henry, for us.

2286
02:08:32.680 --> 02:08:32.840
Yes.

2287
02:08:38.920 --> 02:08:41.520
Oh no, you're not confessing to anybody. Matt You can

2288
02:08:41.560 --> 02:08:44.039
stay right where he is. I'm your husband now and

2289
02:08:44.079 --> 02:08:44.920
everything will go to me.

2290
02:08:45.279 --> 02:08:48.359
You felthy, I'll fix you.

2291
02:08:48.359 --> 02:08:51.119
You won't get away with it. I'll call a police.

2292
02:08:51.399 --> 02:08:56.000
Oh no, not that I don't get you.

2293
02:08:56.000 --> 02:08:56.560
No, they won't.

2294
02:08:57.159 --> 02:09:00.239
My car's parked in town. I have an alibi. Just

2295
02:09:00.279 --> 02:09:02.279
tip over this lamp and beat it back to town.

2296
02:09:03.039 --> 02:09:04.600
No one will ever know what happened.

2297
02:09:06.159 --> 02:09:09.640
You've got it a big surprise coming here?

2298
02:09:11.119 --> 02:09:11.760
Aw big.

2299
02:09:15.520 --> 02:09:15.800
Have I?

2300
02:09:15.920 --> 02:09:31.479
Martin? Everything is yours now? Yeah, he's everything.

2301
02:09:32.159 --> 02:09:34.880
Marta thought she was clever, and you think you are

2302
02:09:34.960 --> 02:09:38.039
much cleverer, Henry. But Marta said you had a big

2303
02:09:38.079 --> 02:09:43.039
surprise coming, and you have. Yes, get ready, Henry. Here

2304
02:09:43.079 --> 02:09:46.000
it is in the form of a letter in MARTA's

2305
02:09:46.000 --> 02:09:49.119
safe deposit box, in MARTA's own words.

2306
02:09:49.600 --> 02:09:53.359
For several days, I've had a strange feeling, resentment, femination

2307
02:09:53.479 --> 02:09:56.680
of doom. I can't explain it, but I feel that

2308
02:09:56.720 --> 02:10:00.640
it can be traced to my husband, Henry Jacobs. Anything

2309
02:10:00.680 --> 02:10:03.439
should happen to me in case of my death. I

2310
02:10:03.479 --> 02:10:07.439
wish to make this confession. Matthew Henderson did not poison

2311
02:10:07.479 --> 02:10:10.640
his father. I did tell him to buy the rat poison.

2312
02:10:11.279 --> 02:10:14.159
I did it purposely. I put it in the food,

2313
02:10:14.920 --> 02:10:18.479
and I placed the open container in Matthew's room. This

2314
02:10:18.640 --> 02:10:22.640
will vindicate Matthew, restore his freedom, and return to him

2315
02:10:22.680 --> 02:10:26.279
all the property of his father, which is now held

2316
02:10:26.319 --> 02:10:27.159
in my name.

2317
02:10:28.560 --> 02:10:29.439
Marta Henderson.

2318
02:10:31.000 --> 02:10:35.560
Well, Henry, that is the big surprise, And by reason

2319
02:10:35.560 --> 02:10:38.399
of the tone of Martyr's letter, you still have another

2320
02:10:38.439 --> 02:10:42.760
one coming. Yes, that will be when they examine MARTA's

2321
02:10:42.800 --> 02:10:47.279
body and find the traces of arsenic. Too bad, Henry,

2322
02:10:47.960 --> 02:10:52.079
too bad.

2323
02:11:13.079 --> 02:11:23.079
CBS has presented The Whistler. Original music for this production

2324
02:11:23.279 --> 02:11:26.800
was composed and conducted by Wilbur Hetch. The Whistler is

2325
02:11:26.800 --> 02:11:29.840
written and directed by ja Donald Wilson and originates from

2326
02:11:29.920 --> 02:11:31.720
Columbia Square in Hollywood.

2327
02:11:33.159 --> 02:11:35.039
Next week, same time, I.

2328
02:11:35.319 --> 02:11:38.960
The whistler will return to tell you another unusual tale.

2329
02:11:39.720 --> 02:11:40.199
Good night.

2330
02:11:45.079 --> 02:11:59.840
This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.

2331
02:12:00.640 --> 02:12:05.720
My dear, it looks like the night has begun to wane,

2332
02:12:06.000 --> 02:12:12.880
and soon the sun will rise and cut through the darkness.

2333
02:12:13.319 --> 02:12:16.439
You need to return to your lovely home, and I

2334
02:12:16.800 --> 02:12:22.920
to well wherever it is that I go. But please

2335

do return soon. I'll be here, same time, same place,

2336
02:12:32.520 --> 02:12:37.720
always happy to have your company and share something chilling

2337
02:12:38.479 --> 02:12:43.319
we can enjoy. But for now you need to make

2338
02:12:43.359 --> 02:12:46.880
your way home, over the river and through the woods,

2339
02:12:47.079 --> 02:12:52.439
well past Grandma's house to your beautiful appointed bedroom. But

2340
02:12:52.560 --> 02:12:55.279
if I may ask one more thing, as you lay

2341
02:12:55.319 --> 02:12:59.680
your head on the pillow and gnawed away, take one

2342
02:12:59.720 --> 02:13:05.199
moment and be thankful for what you have. I'll be

2343
02:13:05.319 --> 02:13:06.920
seeing you soon.

2344
02:13:11.880 --> 02:13:20.159
Wumbling, rumbling, bring

2345
02:13:23.119 --> 02:13:23.159
For
